"I am not drunk." Vash assures, not at all drunkenly. Extremely sober, actually. So very, painfully well-articulated and carefully controlled in volume and tone and motion that he cannot possibly be sober. But he is going to insist.

Even with a bottle in his organic hand, he still insists with a very meaningful stare. Very meaningful. Trying to distract the other man from actually looking at details. Predictably, it doesn't work. He sighs, defeated, taking another gulp directly from the bottle.

"Okay, I'm nervous. With no reason to be nervous! This is silly! What do I have to be nervous about, right?" The impending event of everyone in one room. At the same time. Interacting. Trying to be civil with each other.

After a second's contemplation, he takes another, much longer drink.

For the most part, Sephiroth avoided the general public. Not that his preference was necessarily to stay within the Shinra complex, and most certainly not within the offices if he could help it. Other locations were all well and good when he didn't have an immediate mission to accomplish, but those times were rare. Frankly he didn't want to be staying around anywhere after a mission was completed, for a wide assortment of reasons.

It wasn't as if he could simply wander off into the heart of Midgar, however. Luckily a change of clothes seemed to be enough to disguise most of him, hair generally too long to simply tuck under whatever hat he also planned to wear, so a good deal of it ended up tucked into the back of his shirt. Thoroughly uncomfortable, but it managed to change both the way he walked and held his posture. Useful.

It got him to plenty of little hole-in-the-wall places with brilliantly good-terrible food, but even more importantly it allowed him to explore used book stores. Antique shops. Tiny shopfronts hidden amongst the wide assortment of other doors that lead to windows into the lives of other people. And, sometimes--

He could just imagine.

A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.

Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.

what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

"I'm not afraid of you." There was no venom in the words, no particular force, but there was no particular gentleness in them either.

It was truth. He did not fear his brother. He was not afraid of his twin, of this other half of a unique life, a unique experience. They were born together, had clung to one another quite often throughout childhood. They were close, once. Worlds and years ago.

What Vash feared was what his brother might do. What he was capable of, after what he'd demonstrated before. He had hope, regardless; unfailing optimism walking alongside guilt and pain and terror. He held on to the idea that if his brother could just see it from his point of view, he might understand. Not agree, maybe, but understand, and then--

I'm not afraid of you. He meant that, he did. It was just... complicated.

There was no intentional thought behind it, no particular reason or idea or actual realized compulsion that lead to the motion. Truth be told, Sephiroth was very particular about keeping himself separated most of the time, hands to himself in any situation that was not sparring or the immediate need to administer first aid.

Genesis had been leaning over a book. Which book was suspected but not known, and a bit of hair had fallen in his face. Sephiroth hadn't made the full realization that his hair had been getting that long before he witnessed fiery strands moving, moved himself--

To tuck the stray hair behind his friend's ear. Somewhat startling himself, he did not linger long enough to judge the reaction. Perhaps he didn't want to know, explaining it away with a tight but flippant, "If I didn't know better I'd think you were trying to catch up to me."

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

"can we normalize-" NO!!!!!! we do not need to expand whats considered normal!!! we need to teach people to stop reacting judgmentally when encountering something new and weird!!!! things dont need to be normal to be respected!!!!!!!!!!
