#The Backward Path

The brothers meet again

Ohhh my gods, this one was so daunting (I don't like backgrounds 😭) but it was so fun!!! This scene is going to be like. The really fun dramatic one when I get around to writing it, but for now here's a piece for it instead!!

Very quick explanation for those who haven't seen my insane rambles: Dream was about to kill Killer (finish him off) when Nightmare bursts out of hiding to get between them!

Now, bonus stuff!

^ He's actually very handsome <3

^Thinner version with a crop I like better??

^ I had to check sizing a few times (but Killer is angled so idk if it really helped?) And I just thought this was REALLY funny

^ Just the twins!

it's probably my deep-seated unease for people who are too attractive that inspired this but i'll say again that every time people do fancasts or socmedu faceclaims for mlb characters and use super hot people it feels weird to me. even for adrien actually, like idc if he would probably look like lucky blue smith irl anyways giving him a real person hot face feels off

I love how the Envy chapter has Maka, the one who always tries to be perfect, the one who's optimistic, finally breaks down when her insecurities about Soul are prodded, that she doubted Soul liked her enough as a partner and he deserves better because she can't understand music, and believes it will be the thing that takes him away from her.

And then Soul, who's always believed he'd never amount to anything and thus never tries hard enough, the one's always pessimistic, didn't succumb to the effects of the book because he's finally certain about what Maka truly means to him; Maka isn't just an escape from music, she's the inspiration of his own music.

She is his muse.

honestly part of the reason i've been really looking forward to finally playing light fingers (aside from the obvious horrors and whatnot) is because it, alongside bag a legend, contains a Choice™ i to this day am Extremely Torn About Making. like i've known for ages that the Choice™ exists in this ambition and STILL i am undecided about it. this Choice™ is of course. well. let's just say that by the time this ambition ends, caeru may not be the only catboy around town

sometimes when my ego gets too high i like to humble myself by going through my old 2017-2021 playlist.

while people like to forget about their past i choose to reminisce over dumb stupid shit because i literally cannot change the fact that i did that and was into those things. like wtf can i do about it… oh i can bully myself ! (best form of bullying! turn ur sadness and regret into a joke!) but actually this playlist is so foul and somehow gets worse the more you scroll 💀💀💀💀💀

genuinely funny how many songs i enjoyed listening to blew up on tiktok. 💀

i played overwatch as a kid so i loved the “maybe i’ll be tracer song” but had to stop listening to it after it became cringe.

don’t even get me started on join us for a bite.

i was fascinated by me!me!me! before it became that dumb stupid e-girl trend. 😭

i refuse to believe momoland popularized wrap me in plastic cause i was blasting it in 2020

i liked cg5 before he became “the guy who ruins memes”

bloody mary is another example of good song ruined by tiktok

wilbur soot……

anyways that’s my london yap for the day 💀

Give it up for regression everyone🫶

in a way, ludger is an iconic example of "irredeemable" characters, as in those who cannot be fixed and not because they are throughly evil but because they stubbornly reject / give up on every chance and opportunity to better themselves.

in ludger's case specifically, his irredeemability is a self-fulfilling prophecy because he is constantly trapped in the loop of believing that he doesn't deserve to get better.

I keep forgetting how dangerous germs are because I'm not afraid of things that I can't see... ...except for ghosts... and the invisible ants that crawl on my legs at night... and whoever's watching me through my windows... and the invisible string on the back of my neck that strangles me when I walk through the wrong doors... and the blades that come out of cracks between tiles or walls that I haven't seen yet but I'm sure they're there, and if I just make sure that no part of me is lined up with any of them then they propably won't cut off any of my limbs...

i cant tell if its the autism tm that skews my perception or if ive just really been through enough shit these past few years that my emotional maturity is now explicitly above average

After spending NiF listening to my girlfriend explain how Lin Shu should die, she is now spending Mr. Sunshine listening to me explain how Lady Ae-shin is femmephobic because she will not marry Hui-seong and have threesomes and/or a protracted emotional affair with Eugene.

ah romantic obsession ... haven't I been there...to expand one's world beyond new horizons and seek all from life is our task; romance will find us, there's a magic to how it finds us; we cannot find it, we just have to seek passion, creativity, and community...

"This study says...", sorry mate but your bias is so on your sleeve that I'm not gonna be trusting any studies you cite because the thing is it's very easy to do a "study" that says anything you want, and it's just not worth my time to read tripe that just coincidentally supports exactly your position

(This is about "articles" that have "evidence" that just so happens to align with what the writer would want, and it's for some site that's gonna have massive bias. To make something up as an example, if Atheism.com has an article talking about how this study proves god doesn't exist... maybe you can see why I think they probably have their finger on the scale a bit and it's not really worth my time reading either the article or the study)

(Bonus summary of thoughts in the tags, realized why this most bothers me is it kinda stops being able to have an earnest conversation about important topics cause... yeah; this stuff is worth discussing but we can't when you're presenting evidence that's from one of the most biased sources on the subject you could possible have managed)

Bf came over last night and eventually told me he actually lied to me for 8 months and he never really quit smoking. Just stopped doing it in front of me or before meeting up with me and I believed all this time that he actually stopped. Last spring. And he was even supported by his mom in his lie. She was in on it. And they did it because they hoped eventually he would actually be able to stop. And I said this is the last nail in the coffin of our relationship, because to elaborate a lie this strong and this lasting is just evil no matter which way you spin it. All this time I even asked him a bunch of times if he ever smoked since "quitting" and he said no?? And he said it in his lying tone but I just thought I was crazy, I thought EYE was the crazy one!! I wouldn't even have been mad, I would have understood I mean there's people who try to quit smoking their whole lives. It could take years. And he even lied to our friends, like my best friend and her bf were in awe, they were so admirative of him and his ability to drop smoking so quickly and with relatively little treatment. And he said my praises and the fact that I was proud of him made him feel good, but how good can something fake and artificial make you feel??!! Mixed with the knowledge that you're LYING!!???? He just cried and told me he was scared of disappointing me, as if lying doesn't disappoint me a billion times worse, and he knows it. And I still decided to stay and give it another go. I think mostly out of fear of breaking up, but ironically I can't stop seeing him like a stranger now. I can't trust him like before, and frankly I don't think I'll be able to anytime soon. And if only this was the first situation of this sort, but our whole almost 5 year relationships has been sprinkled with massive lies. This one takes the cake. It's not even that serious but the fact that he was able to carry on for so long, look me in the eyes and lie to me all this time, so many times he could have taken responsibility and said "actually- " but he didn't. And I trusted him because I wanted to stop being so distrustful. And I was wrong to be so. But do I want to be in a relationship where I'm constantly investigating and questioning things? I really don't. We were able to have a mature and honest conversation. I only love the person I thought he was - this one?? I don't know him.
