whoever this beloved anon was I am so touched by your kindness! You definitely didnât have to do this but I am so happy you enjoy this idea and I will happily expand upon it for you!
this is just a collection of word vomit bullet points for the time being but I will happily answer any and all questions about this pair!!
warnings: violence, angst, child death (Sarah Miller), foul language, the same warnings that apply to tlou, reader is Sarah's mom and described as having similar features to her.Â
So the general Idea is that you and Joel are happily married before the outbreak.Â
You had been Sarah's mother, his high school sweetheart he got pregnant when neither of you were old enough to have any reaction to the pregnancy test other than a fucking panic attack in one anotherâs arms. but you made it workÂ
you both worked but made time for one another and your sweet girl, going to museums every other weekend and joel insisting on swooping you off for a date every now and thenÂ
nothing special. He knows youâre more of a diner gal than anything too fancy that makes you both feel out of place.Â
On his birthday in 2003, you had planned to tell him that you were pregnant again. But the memories of your own fears of motherhood from all those years ago begin to swirl through your head again and you get cold feel. deciding to tell him the morning after
it is his birthday afterall, you want to focus on him.Â
but when youâre woken up in the middle of the night because tommy needs to get bailed out, Joel kisses you sweetly one last time before promising heâll be back and you canât shake the feeling that something bad is happening.Â
its you that shakes sarah awake that night. shouting at her to put on her shoes when sheâs still rubbing the sleep from her eyes because youâve been listening to the radio for the past two hours, calling joel again and again and again praying for him to fucking pick up but to no avail.Â
Sarah, bless your little girlâs bleeding heart is the one who insists you check on the adlerâs against your better suspicions and when you find the eldest looming over her daughter, blood and sinew dripping from her mouth, you grab your daughter hand and burst into a full sprint until something slams into your back and sends you tumbling onto their front lawn
its how joel finds you, struggling to keep the once sweet old woman, whose now nothing more than dead eyes and gnashing teeth straining to snap at your pulse point as you push against her while sarah shrieks before your husband runs forward and cracks her skull with a wrench.Â
thereâs hardly a moment of pause, just enough for him to pull you up and into his arms before heâs ushering you both into the car with an urgency.Â
when the truck crashes, you get separated from them. Perhaps at Tommyâs side when the flames rise and create a wall, separating you from your husband, or maybe pulled into the mob of chaos when trying to escape from those already infected-
all joel knows is that you promise youâll find him: just get sarah to safety and youâll meet him at the river
Poor thing is already so frightened, held in her fatherâs arms with tears streaming down her face insisting they canât leave you they just canât but her father kisses her forehead and reassures her its going to be okayÂ
âwe just need to be brave, okay babygirl? Your mamaâs real tough, sheâs gonna be alright.âÂ
he isnât sure if heâs saying it to his daughter or himself.Â
but when he comes to the river you arenât there. Only a soldier who points a gun at the scared little girl in his arms and then he loses everything
its when the light is gone from his daughterâs eyes that he realizes. His voice cracked and raw from sobbing that he looks around to see his brother with drawn in shoulders and tears in his eyes but his wife is nowhere to be found.Â
Tommy says you got lost in the chaos. Everything was so loud, so sudden that he turned around and suddenly you werenât there.Â
Joel wants to go back but its Tommy that stops him, that dulls the red in his vision to a sad faded pink because his brother points at the orange horizon not too far from them, so much of the city is already in flames.Â
âWeâre gonna find her, but not there.âÂ
So Joel searches. for the first year spent in the world post-outbreak its all he did.Â
He became a smuggler because of it.Â
Information came at a price and he needed to be able to fucking pay it, whether it be in blood or ration cards. He was willing to do anything to find you or any thin thread that lead your way.Â
But itâs Tommy that asks him to give up. Not in those words of course.Â
The youngest Miller knows better than to say something so cruel that would make his brother, the only person he has in this world turn on him.Â
But his voice is worried when he asks him one night in Boston when he hasnât even had the chance to wash the blood from his knucklesÂ
âYou think she would have wanted this for you?âÂ
the fight that followed his words was brutal. Vicious insults and scarred fists slamming against each brother until they're both too tired and bloody to continue. Each leaning against a wall for support and Tommyâs wavering voice breaking the silence.Â
âI donât know where she is, Joel. But I do know you're gonna get yourself killed if you keep lookinâ for her.âÂ
All he can do is nod.Â
Itâs a few days later when he meets Tess. Who has heard plenty of stories about the elder millerâs brutality and wants him to put that muscle to good use for some extra profit.Â
It begins his new life. One that empty and cold but one he can live.Â
Until of course, Ellie comes along. The sweet and incredibly opinionated girl that makes him become something akin to the man he thought died twenty years ago.Â
its when heâs traveling with Ellie, that it happens. When a warm familiarity has settled between the two because so much blood and pain has been shared he canât help but see her as something close, something bright even though all he can force himself to utter in her reference is âcargoâÂ
when theyre traveling through the woods as Ellie chatters away, probing his memory about a movie that may or may not have existed thirty years ago because her descriptions of the plot are incredibly odd he hears a voice shout for them to stop and finds himself staring at a man- no, a boy- pointing a gun at them.Â
Ellie stills, but Joel can see enough to know that from the lanky figure and dimpled face that heâs young. Maybe twenty, twenty-two at the oldest, but his eyes dart from Joel to Ellie with a pinprick of fear that allows Joel the time to charge forward and slam him to the ground before wrestling the gun from his hands.Â
He has enough to time to tuck it under the strangerâs chin before he hears the sound of the safety being turned off and finds himself looking up and seeing a gun just inches from his face.Â
Joelâs head whips around when Ellieâs voice calls out his name in fear, he turns to see another stranger holding her a gun point, shoulders drawn back and a shadow cast over their face by the had obstructing their identity.Â
âYou hurt one of mine, I hurt one of yours. That a fair deal?âÂ
Its takes him a moment to recognize you. Itâs been so long since heâs heard your voice, the sweet tease when you would poke at him each time he woke up late despite the fact that you reminded him to set his alarm the night before, the times youâd chide him with a harsh âJoel Miller!â whispered in public anytime he was able to grab you a bit too passionately to be appropriate in public but the laughter in your voice let him know you were never truly mad at him. You didnât know how to be.Â
But that sweetness is buried under a cold rasp that cuts through the air as you point a rifle at the scared little girl in front of you.
âYou think I wonât?â Youâre older now, skin covered in scars from a life he didnât know you got the chance to live and your eyes are cold as they regard your husband. âPut the gun down and get the fuck off of him, I wonât repeat myself.âÂ
Joel mumbles your name in awe. The woman he loved, the woman he mourned the one he fought so hard to find stands before him like some sort of hallucination and suddenly the world feels like its spinning until you bark orders at him again.Â
âYouâve got five seconds Joel, make a fucking choice before I make it for you.âÂ
He looks down and realizes the boy under him, the one with the bleeding nose and snarling face has your eyes and his dimples.Â
âOne.âÂ
The one above him has Sarahâs hair. Soft brown curls that shine under the sun.Â
âTwoâ
Wait. No, they both do.
âThree.âÂ
Twins. Jesus fucking Christ you had twins.Â
âFour.âÂ
Joel holds the rifle up above his head and the one boy standing snatches it from his grasp, tossing it to the ground and kicking it far from his reach. He slowly stands, allowing your son- dear god your son- to scramble to his feet.Â
Your voice softens just for a moment. âYou okay, Duke?âÂ
Blood stains the bottom half of his face from where Joel slammed his fist into the boyâs nose just moments before, but he nods nonetheless.Â
Now, they both stand on one side of you and he can see the resemblance clear as day the same way he would whenever Sarah was by your side.
When you order him to hand over his bag, he does so without question before telling Ellie to do the same.Â
She watches him with wide eyes, her hands still up in the air but gaping at her companion as if he had grown a second head.Â
âJoel!â âJust do it, alright?â
He doesnât miss the way you watch their interaction with narrowed eyes until she tosses her bag to you and you slowly lower your gun.Â
âNow, you want to tell me what the fuck you think youâre doinâ at my home?âÂ
#joel miller x reader#joel miller x you#i had an idea of something similar for tommy but on outbreak night he uh. abandons you instead of getting separated from you#because. angst :D#people say nice things#this was incredibly generous of you anon thank you so so much!#i may get myself a little starbucks drink this week now because I havent had starbucks since like january 1st lol#joel reeling from taking in all this information and also realizing he suckerpunched HIS OWN KID#id like to apologize for all the grammatical issues with this. this is just a bulletpoint word vomit to get my thoughts on the page before-#-beginning the actual fic. also I have to do a midterm tonight and this is my treat to myself hehe#but yes. joel getting separated from his wife on outbreak night and having to accept that shes probably dead#meanwhile youve lived this entire life without him because you think HES dead ad raising your boys all on your own#which just- further digs into his insecurities about failing in his role as a protector#he couldn't save sarah. he can't save ellie and he couldn't even save you#he thinks about you pregnant and alone. fending for yourself in a world full of infected and raiders and his chest grows tight again#this is all followed by Ellie going >:O 'you KNOW THIS PSYCHO?'and then joel immediately snapping at her to WATCH HER MOUTH#because that kid has no filter and he has to explain that youre his wife#anyways joels wife is a badass mfer who also maybe has a little garden and some chickens that you and your boys take care of <3 yeah .#reunion tag#ill be using that for this specific couple because I dont have a fic title yet but if anybody has suggestions!

Whole squad is in the discord vc except the one transfem friend before dnd starts and one of them refers to her using they asking if anyone knows when sheâs coming. and you go. She said sheâd probably be here but someone should message her :) also I noticed that weâve all been using they/them for her but I checked her pronoun roles in a different server weâre all in and the only ones she has are she/her :) so we should proba
And you get cut off by the person who said it and one of the other people going âOH well I use they/them for everyoneâ and âyeah I just kinda always default to they/themâ and âyeah same I just always use themâ talking over each other and
And the impulse to bring out your academic essay from sjw university hits. There is the sharp impulse to go 𤨠you guys using they/them for her when we know her pronouns is degendering her and ultimately feeding into the larger structure of transmisogyny and
you ignore it and say ok well I think :) we should try anyway đ to use her right pronouns
And thereâs the quiet consensus of like yeah ok thatâs fair thatâs true. and she joins the vc three seconds later
#ven.txt#the one other nb person in the group did go like oh youâre right thatâs fair when I said it#so shoutout them theyâre a real one#but I really did not expect the jump to defensiveness from the two friends !!! one of whom was not even the one who said it then!!!#and like the whole group has done it to the point where I once started using they for her because I thought I must be wrong#but I checked her roles and no it was she her. weeeee#but the immediate defensiveness really gets me!!! I had to be like noooo itâs not just you doing it ok haha everyone has#and the one who hadnât even said it that time was the other who jumped to defensiveness is my boyfriend đ#so I do need to talk to him about that but I donât know when thatâs gonna happen#since heâs been really struggling and feeling like shit recently#and somehow I donât think going hey honey can we talk about how some of your actions are influenced and reinforce#the societal structure of transmisogyny? while heâs already doing poorly will go well#and like. oooooo I wanted to be the Soldier Ally who Explains Their Transmisogyny so bad in that moment I wanted to be the white knight#and there is a world where I confronted them and did that#but in this one I went. I donât want to start a fight before dnd#and I donât want her to join vc to hear us arguing about her pronouns and about transmisogyny when sheâs the only tma person#and so I did not start a fight.#anyway. hope my boyfriend does not see this lmao#but he usually only looks at the posts I send him#uh if he does see this. I know neither of you had malicious intentions or wanted to be hurtful or anything#and Iâm not trying to say that you are anything I just think that like#growing up in a transmisogynist world makes you absorb some stuff and some habits without realizing it#and that you should maybe be a little more careful and aware of your actions and thoughts and like how they could be influenced by that#anyway. weirder to experience the situations when you can put a name and systematic influence to the things happening when b4 you couldnât

so i'm finally reading through the terror scripts and i think this was designed to cause me physical pain.
crozier was supposed to be drinking to schubert..... god
#it's honest to god so interesting to see what was cut and what was rearranged#but the uh. the descriptions of the emotions that were not to be spoken?#the internal thought processes that can't be precisely conveyed without words?#i am Dying. this is Killing Me.#fucking *schubert*. god.#'it is not romantic or charismatic. it is hard to watch.' SEND HELP#the terror#i wish i had more coherent thoughts but like. jesus christ.#schubert also had some truly wretched parts of his life.#he wasn't able to marry women of higher classes than him. this was bc of a law that prohibited it but he was still restrained by his financ#*finances#a thing that sophia specifically points out to crozier in the show#aside from that there isn't much that i know off the top of my head#but his 'winterreise' is truly depressing. and 'die schone mullerin' isn't much better#actually die schone mullerin might be very apt for this.#the narrative follows a man falling in love with a woman that is beyond his grasp. and eventually ends in him fantasizing about his death.#uh. presumably the singer drowns in a brook at the end.#so! yeah! that one line in the script is making me lose my mind.#i am gonna keep reading them but i also think i will be a very sad puddle by the end of it#forgive the tag rambling. schubert isn't a main focus of mine#but i know a bit about him and a good bit about his music. it's. painful. also schubert died very young. like 31 years old young.#but anyway i guess i will find the damndest of parallels everywhere.

Wip Wednesday babeeyy
eyy I've finally remembered that wip wednesday exists!! here's some proof that i'm working on something, and that something is the follower milestone gift i said i was going to do and i promise i'm doing it! i'm doing it it's happening i promise! so here's a little taster!!!! and here's Part One if you want a refresher!
And then the kid just vanishes.
In the blink of an eye, in the time it takes for him to look down, screw his face up because this is all confusing as fuck, and look back up, heâs just gone. Thereâs nowhere to hide, thereâs nowhere to go, Jason can see everywhere around himâbut he canât see Danny.
âWell⌠shit."
âWhat, what happened?â Dickybird hisses in his ear, the unsaid, exasperated ânowâ very clear in his voice.Â
As much as he loathes to admit it, Jason is feeling very much the same way right now. What was meant to be a simple case of âinvestigate the potential child abuse and put an end to itâ has instead become something⌠less simple. When is it ever simple in his life?
Still. If working with supers, metas, vigilantes, whatever, has taught Jason anything, itâs that just because you canât see someone doesnât mean theyâre not there.
âHey, kid⌠Danny. Listen, Iâm not here to hurt you and if youâre still here, if you can still hear me, then, I donât know, do you want to get a bite to eat or something? I just want to talk. I just want to figure out whatâs happening.â
Jason doesnât hold his breath.Â
Okay, no, thatâs a lie. Jason holds his breath, but he swears heâs holding it so he can more accurately hear if Danny is still around. Thatâs all it is, heâs not attached to this kid already. Heâs not.
When no answer comesânot even a whisper of a breath or the scuff of a sneaker on the pavementâhe suppresses a frustrated growl and opts instead to breathe deeply and pinch the bridge of his nose.
âSoâŚâ Tim begins, drawing out the word.
The urge to growlâhell, the urge to pull out his comms and smash them on the floorâgrows.
âThe kidâs a meta, then. Potential powers including but not limited to: invisibility or teleportation. You think heâs still there?â Thereâs no reason for the kid to still be around, not at all. If it was Jason, heâd have scattered as soon as he realised the stranger impersonating his dad wasnât the guy he thought was impersonating his dad, and honestly, wasnât that extra fucked up? That someone impersonates people in this town often enough that itâs not a surprise? The way Danny spoke about him��� What was his name?
Amorpho. Amorphous. Without shape.Â
A shapeshifter?
Whatever. Itâs a mystery for another time, because thereâs still a more pressing mystery in front of him.
Or,. rather, not in front of him.
Yes, thereâs no reason for Danny to still be here, butâŚ
Jason sighs.Â
âIâm going to BatâNasty Burger. Really? Is that the best burger joint here? Nasty Burger? Whatever, Iâm going to get some fucking fries.â
Jason feels fucking stupid talking the air like this. He must look fucking stupid, too, but the thing is⌠Thereâs a prickling on the back of his neck, a rolling taste of green on his tongue when he glances through his peripheral, the vague weight of an unseen eyes on him.Â
Call it wishful thinking, call it a hunch, call it something else, but Dannyâs still here.
âThereâll be a burger waiting for you, too, if you want it. My treat.â Jason turns in a full circle, examining everything in his surroundings. Nothing seems out of place, nothing screams wrong to him. âI just want to talk.â
He waits for a full minute with no success, which makes Jason feel even more stupid, before clicking his tongue and making his way to the, hopefully ironically named, Nasty Burger.
#dpxdc#wip wednesday#lol i've been trying to post this for ages#even thought i should make a new day - fuck i forgot about wip wednesday friday#might still do that tbf haha#hailsatanacrabđŚđŚwrites#so here we go!!!#idk if i'll delete this later - is that what people do with wip weds?? idk#uh but here we are#please give me some motivation i'm at a wall and i'm banging my head against it đđ#uh. also. this silly little wip that i had no idea how to follow on from what i'd added to the prompt#is now like 12k long and growing more and more#why do i do this to myself#everything just becomes so big woof#anyway enjoy!!

I'll share my epinagi thoughts tomorrowđ
#I enjoyed it even tho i felt brain dead after#txt#i had fun with my irls but i shouldve watched it with someone as unhinged about blIk as me#anddd what else uh#some guys showed up in their football uniforms with hair dyed to match bllk characters#no i didnt take pictures bc im not disrespectful. yes it was funny.#me and my friend kept quoting 'un lobo siempre protege a su loba' whenever nagi or reo did anything for each other.#so mad they didnt include nagi and barou fighting during their match. like when reo had to be like nagi stop this isnt you#(<-not what he said in the slightest) just so i could quote un lobo siempre protege a su loba again#every blIk irl of mine now understands that the problem is that theyre miscommunicating & reo should Not not tell nagi what he feels and#Nagi should stop assuming reo knows what hes thinking. my friend was so frustrated lmfao.#But she did say 'theyre so boyfriends' at the end. Thanks epinagi for comverting a devout nagisagier into a reonagier i guess#also my brother at some point said 'i cant keep defending him theres no non gay explanation' about nagi i dont rememebr where#it was kinda early on though#anyways#those r the things not included in my thoughts#my best friend is excited for rin & isagi in u20 and my brother is excited for shidou lmfao#i keep saying this theyre going to love kaiser itll be the death of me#what ELSEEE im forgetting already

And please give me all your unpopular opinions on Sandman đđź
[maniacal laughter]
we know my feelings about hob gadling
dreamling is not THAT compelling
the tragic end of morpheus' arc in the comix fulfills a narrative function, which is the most in-character thing it could do
in this house we love and respect danny!dream
the only good thing to come out of the spinoffs was nick robles' danny art (and possibly jt4's nightmare country but we have yet to see how he concludes it)
if the neilman weren't a coward, he would have cast toshiro mifune as destruction for s2 ("horse," you might say, "mifune died almost 20 years ago, how would he get the role?" that's not my job to figure out. i would have also accepted manny jacinto, though)
bailey bass should be delirium
the comix, the series, and the fandom are too anglocentric (perils of an english speaking creator and audience)
i have Thoughts about how Despair in the comix is the only fat Endless and also the one who is most often drawn as inhuman. i also have Thoughts about how Despair is the significant fat representation in the series.
the neilman and the fandom should read saidiya hartman
#ask games#sandman#whoops the disc horse#i thought about separating the series from the comix in different lists but uh. then it got unwieldy.#this is the short list#on the longer list would be i dislike how the comix treat black women#and i think the series has POSSIBLY done better#(if Death is the only Black Endless sibling i'm...gonna have some Words.)#(like. could it be meta-commentary on social death? sure. do i think the neilman and the creative team on sandman are thinking that deep?)#anyways this took me a while to answer because i got side-tracked#and then had to go to an event on ''free speech and dei initiatives''

thinking about fallout 4 against my will
#random thoughts#fallout#unfortunately nora compels me#the fact the 'hi honey!' tape specifically mentions her 'shaking the dust off' her law degree is interesting#like she gave up her job to stay at home with her husband and kid. why?#like that's a whole year. at LEAST.#love the idea of nate pressuring her into it <3 maternity leave turns into 'isnt it so nice being with sean around the clock?'#'too bad you won't have this quality time when you return to work'#turns into 'you can always return to work if you feel like it but we DO have a lot saved up . . .'#and it's like. okay so fallout 4 would be so much better if it were set in the 1960s. literally no reason it shouldnt be#yknow beyond complying with lore which. it isnt that faithful to in the first place#i just think it's weird the game is like 'here's the FUTURE' and then it's like 'here's the FUTURE FUTURE'#anyway make it the 1960s. give me time-appropriate fucked up family dynamics#and nora's a laywer and a feminist who promised herself she'd never compromise her career for a man#and nate seemed so NICE and like he understood until uh oh. frog in a slow cooker#and he makes everything seem like it's her idea until she's barefoot in the kitchen with a screaming baby on her hip and burnt food in a pan#and she doesn't even realize she's trapped until it's too late. isolated from friends and family#idk ill do more research later to make it more time-accurate (ESPECIALLY interested in second-wave feminism)#anyway i think she cheats. with a door-to-door salesman selling places in the bomb shelters#(honestly probably the only adult social interaction she's had in weeks beyond her husband)#i like to think at some point she had a bit of a car accident due to the stress so nate took her keys#probably just a minor fender bender he blew out of proportion but she believes it because oh god what if she hurt sean#her feelings toward sean are complicated. i dont think she quite loves him which she feels guilty about so she overcompensates#with trying to keep him as safe as possible and she feels like he KNOWS and HATES her#(honestly when the bombs drop everything happens so quickly and when she's in the future and registers sean's gone she feels. so relieved)#(followed by heavy shame)#nate sabotaged her birth control btw. love evil 1960s patriarchs#never outright stated but heavily implied!#anyway nora in the future (while she felt very progressive for her time) feels very out of place#like her ideals have no place. like she has no place

i don't talk about alucard castlevania very often because the last season of castlevania was so bad to me that i just don't engage with the show anymore like that but make no mistake. i have many thoughts and opinions on that man.
#first of which is they should have treated him better đ#like not out of a 'oh he's my favorite character he deserves everything' standpoint#he is and he does. but also What Was The Point Of All That đ like jesus christ!!!!!#castlevania writer voice what if we made him sit alone in his empty desecrated childhood home where he just killed his father#and then gave him some company. and then had that company gain his trust and sleep with him and then try to kill him During sex#and then he went insane! and killed a lot of people!#and then we fixed him by giving him a girlfriend :D#shut UP BRO SHUT UP#if you're gonna do all that. at least let him continue to be gay#not in a 'i don't believe he's bisexual' way but going 'yeah he has gay sex!' and then making the gay sex encounter end in gruesome murder#doesn't uh. doesn't really spell gay rights. can he have sex with a man in a way that ends with him not horribly traumatized#i don't like his relationship dynamic with that woman in the last season either but that's for different reasons.#i feel like he got steamrollered by her y'know :/ malewifed etc. etc. :/#she was a fine character i just didn't like the two of them together#or how it was framed as like. y'know. alucard just needed to get bossed around. that'll give him purpose again.#hey what if. if he was gonna kiss someone about it. he did that with the people that he bonded with and trusts and knows.#just a thought. ANYWAY#valentine notes

sometimes the way you people talk about Riverdale really makes me feel like you guys are anti-art lmao
#the day society thought there was 'bad art' and that inherently meant it had no value and was better off not existing was the day we lost.#'oh we're so glad it's over' you don't even watch the show.#'how did they ruin such a good show?' i don't believe you have actually seen S01 bc it was actually garbage. easily the worst season.#like S01 legitimately is some of the most boring TV.#and if you like it that's fine but to say it was a good show in S01 is so wjfsjfnsbdhd#raise your standards please#anyway uh some of you just are assholes and very much anti-art with the way you talk about some stuff#art is like meant to communicate something and express a feeling and evoke an emotion. my god.#the way some of you conceptualize it as just mindless entertainment is so embarrassing and sad.#like truly i mean i'm sad for you. you're missing out on so many unparalleled art experiences if all you're looking for is 'good art'#won't get into it under here but that FriendlySpaceNinja Riverdale video is so dogshit specifically BECAUSE it embodies this exact idea#'good writing always wins' you don't get art. you flat out don't.#to conceptualize art as only being 'good' (having value) if it has 'good writing' is such a stupid and capitalist way of thinking about art#anyway that societal critique would eat away at my tag limit so i won't get into it.#james talks#riverdale#not exclusive to Riverdale by the way. also very much applies to something like twilight.#like we've already done such a cultural reevaluation of twilight but i still see so many takes on it that are like 'this shouldn't exist'#and it's very inherently anti-art. also fundamentally the idea of 'good art' is just such dogshit but like go watch the CJ the X videoâ#on subjectivity in art for a much more comprehensive take on that. they break it down a lot better than i can in tags.#disliking something and understanding it isn't for you isn't the same thing as saying it shouldn't exist btw.#'twilight was not my taste' and 'twilight ruined vampires' or 'twilight is toxic and should've never been written' aren't the same.#like disliking something as an artistic piece bc it doesn't do anything for you is fine! good even. that's like the whole point of art!#but the whole 'burn it down' and 'this is ruining culture and TV' takes are so insufferable and anti-art lol

Damnit lev lmfao. I was thinking about Shiva wearing corpse ash being resonant for other reasons, something about his relationship with the Bright Skinned Ones and death and whatever. No, no. More fucking importantly: Oh I wonder why Shiva is known for. you know. wearing bodies. his appearance is a mass of bodies joined together. yeah
#Leviathan is a mass of bodies. Shiva wears the ash of burned corpses. Transforming in both cases the masses into the Matter of the Bodiless#ramblings //#leviathan //#Maheshvara //#Not surprised this is coming up now he loves his fun fact time. Earlier I was poking at what he was doing#because he's... very distracted. And uh. Somewhere over yonder doing war stuff with people. And I was thinking about how he is just so many#circumstance based people at the same time. He'll be doing paperwork in a Royal Office somewhere and on a battlefield elsewhere and#running through the forest as a deer somewhere else and living as members of a school of fish in some transcendental lake#and scrying the pools of God and watching birds in a forest... and he incarnates here too and will be a chef downtown#and a teacher somewhere else up also doing paperwork and some dog on the street begging for food and and and#And over all of it... That central blissful mind that is water itself. all it's senses of self - emotions. thoughts. and so on - arising#from its various movements and shapes as reflections on the surface. But also... a sweet thing. Anyway#That black umbrella Lev that's deep and beyond names... beloved.... Searching for someone...#Shiva throws himself down into reality to bounce around as rays of light... the sun incarnating through the day sky into plants then into#animals and so on slowly recollecting more and more who he is. Searching for Shiva#always. Well. You found him. But then... Well. You go past the crying screaming stage of birth and then you get to fun#You gestate. You know who you are when the Sun's light touches your eyes. You scream at it. You change. You grow.#Then you learn the world is fun... People talk about how it seems ridiculous that someone who had achieved oneness would come back#and I wholly agree on a side thought relevant to that that most people who claim to know oneness don't know it#because the idea of oneness itself is actually a product of duality IE you have to be on a world where Two exists to understand One#One doesn't exist in a unified world. There's no One. In a unified world... So you can absolutely achieve a state of oneness while still#being non-unified if you don't truly get it... But anyway. On the why come back thing... Yeah people don't get it. But people who do get it#come back all the time. This reality is just an experience. You can spend your entire life asleep or you can come play and experience#So. Lev's incarnations on this plane mirror his incarnation of Shiva Into Bodies... He comes here to play games. He plays#He takes photos. He wanders. He plays music for people on street corners. He laughs. He loves. He suffers. He experiences.#Sometimes he doesn't understand. Sometimes he understands. Anyway.... Looking through his eyes... Iridescent scene of cranes#flying over a sunset more rich than I've ever seen on earth but so natural. Fire without fire. Water catching and soaking up every colour.

just found my old diary and the first page of it basically reads as follows: 'my name is molly. I am 8 years old and it is 2017. I am weird and have no friends. I hate being a girl and wish I was a boy. if I was a boy I would be so much happier. all of my friends have abandoned me. nobody is nice to me. my favourite toy is my donald duck tsum tsum.' nothing about me has changed
#mole talks#i still have that donald duck tsum tsum. he is very cute#just realised i've had that toy for at least half my life now. huh#and i've also wanted to be a boy for half my life now(?). i feel like i could do something with that information#uuuuuuuu i've been feeling so weird about my gender#okay i just typef a long description about how much i hate having my current body but i deleted it cause uh o_O#i don;t think anybody wants to read that#anyways my old diary is VERY funny#its just 8 year old me talking about how weird i am and then bringing up some unrelated shit#honestly? thats just how i write my tumblr posts now#thats just what i write in my notepad app on my laptop#i thought we were supposed to like .. shed our skin every 7 years#but i'm 16 now and have not changed even slightly :P

i need to talk about the dess raises kris au. or im gonna explode.
#chatter#GOOD TIMING TO THINK ABOUT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY: EDITING UR TOH DAEMON AU LOL#like i can separate it out enough when im working lol but afterwards. oh its all deltarune babey!!!#been thinking a lot about dess and how i wanna write her#(aka im gonna canonize some mental stuff i've always kinda had in the back of my mind for her)#and GOD. dess. i forgive her for all her flaws <3#but no shes sooooo fascinating to me in this au its just. she was Eighteen. right in the middle of a pretty bad psychotic break.#the only person ever in her corner (asriel) Did Not Believe her and has always been real shitty about her undiagnosed mental illnesses#(dw we will come back to this i have a LOT of ideas for azzy lol he is. uh. not the best at the start!)#and so like. of course when it comes to kris her best was never going to be enough.#but GOD im soooo fascinated by like. she does genuinely really truly care for kris.#yes its messy and caught up in a bunch of other things but she LOVES THEM#even if she cannot ever love them in the way they want her to (ie as a parent loves a child)#and is it fair for kris? no! course it isnt!!!#but theres no changing the past and so. this is kris's life now#and its dess's life now. and they just have to live with what happened#thinking about the like. 6 months to a year where it was just dess and kris (before chara) and. god.#GOD. YOU GUYS.#sorry this au is. um. i think it is my everything. like.#if you know you know (hi stars lol <3) but. man.........man.#i have a lot of thoughts about. prophecy. and when translating that out beyond just story and into like. the real world#cause lets be real prophecy doesnt exist but things w this power of 'you are supposed to be x and cannot be anything but x' DO and#god. the dess raises kris au is So Much.#also yeah another acacia tags essay they simply hit differently <3#also enough to go into the main tag so#drkau#anyways lemme go back to editing lol

I think (as much as I annoyingly complain and whine about not having a partner) being single this long has been good for me. I'm learning a lot about myself and I'm learning why I was a shit person, and through finding the root of the problem I can kind of... start to heal. I can be nicer to myself so I can grow and get better. Because TBH.. being mean and cruel to yourself doesn't make you become a better person. It just makes you believe that thats what you /are,/ and thats what you /always will be,/ as opposed to realizing that you are a product of your circumstances but that does not mean you can't get better and become a better person. Accepting help and trying to get better so you can eventually love yourself â even if no one else does â is the greatest and loveliest thing you can do for yourself. You deserve that love, you exist and you live and you feel and that is a truly beautiful gift.
#uhm well anyway I hope everyone finds people and a place where they feel safe and loved#I'm feeling really emotional sorryy#basically. tldr; found the problem! trying to get better now through loving myself instead of hating myself#its been really hard. its going to be really hard. I feel like ive barely made any progress#I wish I had a therapist to talk about this stuff with. but I dont.#btw the uh root problem: finding out my mother was actually hugely abusive & I already knew my dad was#so basically ive been having to confront the fact that Ive been living a lie and my mother is actually deeply terrible as much as my dad#and my parents should have never had children & ive never had one single decent adult in my life#so basically uhm yea lol. I was born into dysfunction. I was never going to turn oit normal or okay.#so its been hard to like. figure all that out alone. learning I have ptsd and extreme ocd + dissociation because of them hasnt been easy#its made me so deeply miserable because I guess I assumed what my mom was doing to us was normal this whole time?#because I thought no. surely not. surely i cant have TWO terrible parents. I need at least 1 good one right?#but yea no actually every adult has hurt me in some way. and I was never going to turn out alright because#I am the king of obsessing and cycling over everything in my life#Im like. not okay right now but not being im in danger just because I wish I had someone to talk to about all this.#I just need to learn to drive so I can get out of here. I need to get out like#all these realizations have been really really heavy on me and ive been having trouble sleeping#Its been hard to process and I dont really know where to go from here. I guess I cant properly heal and grow until I move out?#idk this has been really long im so sorry.#vent#tw vent#tws ->#abuse ment#parents ment#<- in tags
