My brain's mush today, so here's a few more incorrect quotes from This Generator (it's the one I always use and it's great). (Also, if anyone wants to try and do the additional colors, This One is a very easy tool to use). This time we're getting the Epic Sanses and all of Nightmare's henchmen. Because I love the idea of Killer leaving and dragging all his little guys he has become responsible for with him. HE GOT THE KIDS IN THE DIVORCE!

-

Cross: What are amphetamines?  Delta: Drugs that can go on land and water.  Cross: Ohhhh.

-

Delta: I’ve invited you here because I crave the deadliest game...  Killer, nodding: Knife Monopoly.  Delta: I was actually going to play Russian roulette, but now I'm really interested in whatever knife Monopoly is.

-

Color, pointing to the wall: What color is this?  Cross: Gray.  Horror: Grey.  Color, turning to Epic: Now tell them what color you think it is.  Epic: Dark white.

-

Dust: Hey, I say we go down there, kick Color’s door in, and let him know that we’re in town.  Horror: That ain’t the way we do things here. We may have to go in there and run a con, drop a bug, do the smooth-talking.  Dust: Okay, you come with me, you do the smooth-talking, let’s go.  Horror: No, we just can’t go in there and kick down Color’s door. We need a plan.  Dust: Well who makes the plans?  Horror: Killer.  Dust: Killer, what's the plan?  Killer: You guys are gonna go down there, kick Color’s door in, let him know you’re in town.

-

Cross: You know what the problem is? You're really cute, so no one ever told you to shut your pie-hole.  Epic: You think I’m cute?  Cross: SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE!

-

Color, looking at the squad: Okay, so I need to become a therapist faster.

-

Epic: Hey! Wanna hear a joke?  Dust: Sure.  Epic: Your life!  Dust: Actually, my life isn’t a joke, jokes have meaning.  Epic: Dust, no.

-

Delta: I don’t need any more friends. I already have six.  Horror: Don’t you mean seven?  Delta: *looks directly at Killer*  Delta: No, I’m pretty sure I meant to say six.

-

Cross, walking into Color's and Killer’s bedroom in the middle of the night: I had a bad dream.  Color: What was it about?  Killer: No, don’t ask him that!  Color: Why not?  Killer: Cause he’ll answer!

-

Color: Would you slap Killer-  Delta: Yes.  Color: I didn't even finish!  Delta: Sorry, continue.  Color: Would you slap Killer for 10 dollars?  Delta: I would do it for free.  Killer: Rude...

I've been holding it in but god I've decided to relisten to Taz: Suffering Game and Reunion tour after getting the graphic novel and god, the amount of titular moments they cut are just devastating, like some of them I get, but god, they should have just made them 2 seperate books, the fact they cut 2 of my absolute favorite scenes, scenes that still hit me today relistening the same way they did when I was 13, listening to this story for the first time, really hurts, they removed the whole argument in Fantasy Costco over Magnus returning to his body, the "those are the arms that have held my wife" that scene made me cry when I first heard it, and it makes me cry now, and I'm not sure if that's because it hurts, or because knowing the loss of such a beautiful story in adaptation, they should have made them 2 seperate books, I don't care if I have to pay extra for another book, I just wanted this story I love so much to feel right, and im terrified for the next book, what's the point of adapting this story if its at the cost of what makes it beautiful

when you see those videos of the ocean waves being absolutely.... horrifyingly HUGE? and you think of the apostles and Jesus on that tiny boat and Jesus was sleeping and the apostles in absolute panic start waking Him desperately, "save us or else we die!" the acknowledgment that only Jesus can save them and the desperation that must have overtaken them knowing if He didn't, they absolutely would die under the relentless and merciless waves.

and Jesus rebuked them, not for waking Him, but for their lack of faith. "why are you so fearful, O ye of little faith?" imagine hearing Him say this as the tumultuous winds and waves roared in the background, the winds and the waves that could very well sink their tiny boat into the deep oceans and into their deaths. and yet He says: why are you scared? do you have no faith?

after rebuking them, He then rebukes the winds and the waves. and the merciless waves calm, the winds cease at the command of its Maker. imagine the sudden stillness. the boat that was once rocked violently by the waves is now still and quiet. the apostles marveled: "what sort of Man is this? even the winds and the waves obey Him!"

Matthew Henry notes so beautifully:

"The Lord sits upon the floods, and is mightier than the noise of many waters. Christ, by commanding the seas, showed himself to be the same that made the world, when, at his rebuke, the waters fled, as now, at his rebuke, they fell."

Two contradictory things can be true at the same time, but not when they are inconvenient to me.

Last update from us for this night/day (Its early lol)

People are just awesome you know? Its not everyday it is said and we try to keep what is said and learned close to heart but, people are just great. Nothing sarcastic about it, I'm so honored to have met and enjoyed each day with any person or individual who comes by our little small world. It warms our hearts really and lets us abide back from the constant mental crises we go through nearly daily. I'm grateful to have this, I'm grateful to have you and I hope we all can keep being awesome and enjoy the rest of this year at our own pace. We got this! Keep going, you will get through this! I believe in you!<3

one time it was extremely late and i hadn't had much of anything to eat for about a week and i made karlach mad at me by accidentally cheating on her and i couldn't reload because i was on honor mode so i deleted the save and i started for real crying in real life

[terriblygrimm]

i kinda love how amanda told spock that it’s not easy to be a human who loves a vulcan only for him to eventually experience the effortlessness in which jim cares about him. it’s the development i’m waiting for *vibrating*

lol i saw the announcement and rushed over to your account to see what you're thinking about it (still not actually following tennis just following you)

it's devastating... been a long time coming and yet!! need to take a day off work to cope probs. "sorry boss the golden era of men's tennis is coming quietly and mournfully to a close.. all my favorite players are posting homages to a goat and I need to separately weep over each of them... no yeah it's going to be all day...."

Sorry I've just got the brainworms about soulmates some more and thought you might like this soulmate variation i found where you instinctively collect items that your soulmate is going to need or like in the future when you eventually meet them. And then I just got to thinking of lilia confusedly collecting soft blankets and pillows, and a tiny baby malleus stealing whetstones fron the knights and more curiously, toothbrushes. And then them holding onto these items for literally hundreds of years before being able to finally give them.

oh my god, ohhh m ygod that is so adorable!!!!!!!! im!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm utterly fixated on the thought of lilia (LILIA!!!!) who has professed far and wide and with great disdain his aversion to children suddenly compelled?? to seek out and harbor baby blankets, stuffed animal toys, and tiny socks??? the confusing, agonizing mix of revulsion at the realization that the soul who will complete his life will be a child (and oh god, could you imagine if he was collecting specific human baby related things, the disbelief and horror spirals ever deeper—), the way he feels sickened at the fact that he's already beginning to harbor affectionate thoughts towards this faceless 'soulmate' when he finds himself absently folding the blankets into a snug drawer or brushing his fingertips over the soft, fluffy ear of a stuffed lamb.

the way that he initially dreads meeting his soulmate, is viciously grateful at first that they don't seem to appear for centuries to tie him down and change him irrevocably. the way that as time marches ever on, he begins to worry the edges of those pristinely ironed quilts with a secret fear that perhaps they might never drape about their intended.

(meanwhile, baby mal is stealing toothbrushes from the palace staff and visiting dignitaries— it becomes widely known to shake him down gently before bed lest he wind up with toothbrushes stuck to his hair and napping with one in his mouth.)

I do not have the writing ability, maturity, emotional bandwidth, or time to write a fic exploring the parallel between post-canon Cheong-ah trying to build a relationship with her father for the first time and learning to move past his years of looking the other way as she was abused in her own home and post-canon Eun Yoo learning to love her mom again in the new timeline where she hasn’t been obsessive and controlling and pushed her to her physical and emotional limits, but where that borderline abusive parent is the only one Eun Yoo remembers… but it compels me so much.

i instantly thought of the cursed forest au oneshot because i love the language in it. i'm so happy with it 👉 👈 here:

even with death haunting your footsteps, your flowers will bloom again [AO3]

and, you know what, i think this can sum up my three words from the above answer too:

Grian takes a shuddering breath, Scar’s words tilting him off his axis; his heart beats a tumultuous rhythm against his ribs, something feral and rioting. It still hurts, to be treated so gently, but unlike everything else, it hurts in a way he thinks he might be able to survive.

Because it hurts—sharp and fierce—like a shy, bladed edge of salvation.

misc greaser backstory headcanons because i'm bored and it's time for this fandom to hear my lukewarm hot takes <ब₍₍( ˃̗εू˂ )₎₎<ब

johnny and lola's fatal relationship flaws are learned from their respective sets of parents.

johnny grew up witnessing his parents' tumultuous marriage and often felt like he was walking on eggshells due to his father's possessiveness and short fuse. mrs. vincent stayed, no matter how much her husband's fits of rage scared her because she felt she had a duty to her family. her one silver lining was that at least he never laid a hand on her (no, he'd only punch the walls near her or throw dinnerware– that's not abuse, is it? was just one of the numerous feeble defenses johnny would hear from his mom.) (the one time she DID defend herself, the situation escalated and eventually landed both of johnny's parents in prison. because he was already 18 when this happened, social services did not get involved.)

lola's father cheated on her mom and as a result, she's never had any stable relationships beyond short-lived flings. ms. lombardi consequently passed her bitterness about the affair and the divorce onto her daughter; it didn't help that lola's father stopped giving a shit about her after he married his affair partner and started a family with her. witnessing her family breaking apart, her mother wrecking her life with numerous toxic flings, and the father she used to love so dearly doting on his son with his new wife had not only resulted in non-committal tendencies, but also a dislike of men that borders on misandry.

(on that, i feel like a case can be made that lola's a closeted lesbian with MAD comphet, but that's a story for another time.)

peanut's home life is nearly similar to johnny's, but what sets them apart is the fact that peanut's father– alongside his verbal abuse– outright beats him; that's where his intense napoleon complex stems from. initially, his mother was the victim of his father's rage, but the older peanut grew, the more he fought back for her. consequently, at some point, he essentially became his father's outlet for his rage. he hates losing fights, being made to feel small and weak, because, well– if he can't fight back, who'll be there to protect his mom?

norton's family is relatively more normal and maybe even more stable than the rest of his clique's, but they're– unsurprisingly– not without their own issues. i feel like most of the conflict within the williams' family stems from the clashing ideals between norton and his dad; norton's a guy who was radicalized at a young age (since he's quite well-read), and his father– a police officer– represents the authority and the system he hates so much. becoming a greaser was not only teenage rebellion, but also a way to show that he outright rejects what his father believes in; he resents him for being a sellout. officer williams is aware of this.

vance is the only son among a brood of daughters. the second eldest child, he shares a close bond with his younger sisters, but a hesitant, nearly strained relationship with his older sister. their father is absent, and their mother overworked, so both of them are parentified– even if ms. medici didn't intend for that to happen. vance's never been shy about his bisexuality, and the unorthodox way he expresses his masculinity is a source of contention for his sister. she resents how carefree he is, how arbitrary his priorities are (like his obsession with his appearance, his social standing amongst the greasers, and his various romances in bullworth). their father couldn't be the man of the house, and now vance can't even fill in that role if he tried.

as implied by some of his voicelines, hal's fatness is (not so) secretly a major source of insecurities for him. his mother truly tries to be as supportive as she can be, but his father– perhaps another alumni of bullworth, maybe even a former jock?– is especially harsh on him, his "tough love" bordering on outright verbal abuse. hal was initially sent to bullworth in order to "whip him into shape" (both figuratively and literally), and his dad hit the roof when he found out that hal decided to join the greasers instead of getting into something "worthwhile". he tries to be as confident as he's making himself seem, though his dad's comments about his body and his hobbies and his friends cut deep.

ricky was essentially raised by his older brother (a former greaser himself). their parents have never been in the picture, and they were initially raised by their hyperreligious, paranoid grandmother before ricky's brother had enough– he moved out at 18 and took ricky with him. he had to take numerous odd jobs just to support them, ultimately dropping out of his last year in bullworth and forgoing college in favor of working. despite their similar personalities and interests, this is why they often clash– ricky's brother had to sacrifice his schooling for him, and he wants nothing more than for ricky to be responsible and successful. to be the opposite of who he was.

on the other hand, lucky essentially raised his younger siblings (a sister and a brother). his mom walked out on his family when he was still a kid; consequently, his dad fell into a deep depression, was laid off from his job, and turned to alcohol and gambling. lucky had to step up to the plate and be the man of the house in his stead. he's not quite sure who he resents more: his mom, for walking out; his dad, for taking away his remaining childhood; or the system, for fucking them all up in the first place.

lefty is a latch-key kid. both of his parents may be present in his life, but it's as if they're not all that interested in their son– he doesn't quite know why, but there's the implication that he's an accident; one that forced them to have a shotgun marriage despite not being in love anymore. they provide the bare minimum for him, but not much beyond that; whether its gifts or affection. he'll claim he's given up on trying to win their love a long time ago, but he can't deny that with every new scar he earns, he wishes they'd notice. at least once. (with concern or anger, it doesn't matter anymore.)
