Constantine is noping this situation, you can't make hi-..ah fucking damn it

John was already paled when Kronos got revived, but seeing the eyes scalding blinding Fear of God staring into your very soul and judgment every inch power that was in that godlinng babe was enough for him to started drinking his emergency booze.

He is not dealing with Greek Gods bullshits, especially if that what he puzzling in the pieces together Then Kronos's story was becoming twisted all together. Nope, he isn't. Batman can bribe him all he wants. He is fucking leaving now!!

Fucking with THAT right there especially with the contract he still owed Kronos for, he rather suffered the complete obliteration of his soul being torn to shreds once he dies then have that god find him. He is escaping of here before She even noticed that he is Here with her ol time relic still in his pocket.

Before he can even get one step in the portal ready, he already felt his chest tightening as if his entire chest was being squeezed like a kid's teething toy.

Fucking dammit, he should've left right when Kronos was still having that psychic backlash, he knew he should've trusted his gut, fucking time Goddess and her all knowing of when and where.

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child #when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me #for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites #while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs #at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books #which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa #anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop #one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me #in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card #tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition #later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned #i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds #but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me #they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes #and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories #which i was always sentimental about as child #from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides #and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns #to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth #parents passed when i was a child #never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness #and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions #and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally #and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost #even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions #but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth #thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

Yk realistically if the om bros were fucked up like demons should be, they wouldn't be that disturbed by bloodlust el's personality.

However, I think the terror and angst comes from the fact that they lived with him his whole life, and for the most part, he was very passive and calm and never immediately resorted to violence, so to see [what used to be] their human revel in bloodshed is.. unsettling.

#bc they loved him for being human #being kind!! he was their connection to the entirety of humanity bc he loved people. bc he was human #they knew he was going to die eventually bc he's mortal. to them his life feels like minutes passing by 2 their immortality #[the universe where he turns in2 bloodlust el is the 1 where solomon can't reproduce the accidental immortality spell he used on himself]#[so el dies of old age after a full life of the devildom and his partners and magic]#so- imagine you die. your life was full and complex and loving #and [for a reason i haven't decided on yet] heaven/the celestial realm wipes your memory of all of that shit and u turn in2 a blank slate #2 be molded and shaped into something befitting an “angel”#then u start getting your memory back and you damn near start another war bc you're so pissed off you fight god & actually land a hit #which gets u cast out of the heaven and when you go crashing into hell you land smack dab in the middle of the garden #that belongs 2 the ppl who once loved you #but when u crashed you fucked up your head and now you're “wrong”#different from the human these people want you to be. and you hide away. they make you feel like a monster when you can't stop it #and get imprisoned for it. then used as essentially a court jester/executioner bc the prince needed to do *something* with you #fucked up #they wouldn't care if he was just another demon. but he's what remains of the human they loved yk #so it's more disturbing #anyway long ramble over #elliot rambles #obey me #obey me mc #obey me demon mc #obey me demon oc #avatar of bloodlust #demon elliot oc

first OC thought of 2024 is brought to you by HW we love to see it !

#more specifically I’m thinking about sohm al #and how half of the journey through it is just tedious amounts of climbing/walking up a mountain #important note: eyrie and alphinaud still aren’t on the best of terms #they are cordial and kind but eyrie remains distant towards him #much more of the WoL compared to eyrie #but on the trek up the mountain there’s a patch of slick rocks #eyrie tells alphinaud to go in front of them and becuase the poor lad can’t catch a break #he ends up slipping and nearly going off the edge until eyrie grabs a hold of him #and it’s not a nice grab a hold of him. it’s a hang onto the boy for dear life and hoist him back up #carry him the rest of the way up the narrow slick path and set him down in a safe spot to look him over #it’s terrifying for the both of them but it’s hugely eye opening for alphinaud #just how scared eyrie looked when they caught him. it wasn’t the hero scared to lose an innocent life #it was *eyrie* scared to lose a friend. someone they cared about deeply even if they didn’t talk about it #it was the unknowing push they both kinda needed to work on their friendship #Estinien talks to eyrie about it at the camp near the Zenith when it’s just the two of them left awake #eyrie confiding in Estinien about the loss of their father to a similiar situation around Alphinaud’s age #and how they couldn’t bear the thought of losing the boy #estinien noticing how much eyrie cares for the boy as a father does but he keeps that to himself #shdndndn AHHH #me slapping HW this expansion can fit so much eyrie and alphinaud friendship development in it #they are dear friends. eyrie is alphinaud’s father. alphinaud continues to be the spark of hope eyrie needs #without it they would have consigned themselves to loosing estinien for the greater good #oc: eyrie kisne

#I do this thing where I keep comparing myself and my life to other people my age who live like ‘normal lives’ where they live with just #their partner and work decent-ish paying jobs #and don’t live near family/have large family obligations #like I make slightly more than minimum wage #my health stuff had been getting worse #my fiancé is disabled/chronically ill and working her ass off so she doesn’t have excess energy #which leaves a lot of house work on me #which is fine and I don’t mind #and our household is me my fiancé my 23 yo sister and we’ve all lived together for like 3 years now and my sister makes a lot more money &#helps with house stuff #/maintenance #but my younger sister and her 9 month old moved in at the beginning of summer because her baby daddy is a scum bag #and she’s 20 and really mentally unwell #so a lot of baby care falls on me & my fiancé #along with trying to help my sister with her mental health #which is like not normal levels of unwell it’s like serious shit and she’s completely unmedicated and going through a real hard time and not #adjusting to motherhood well cause she was 19 and shouldn’t have had a baby #and like she knows that but what’s done is done #she can’t move back in with my parents because her relationship with them is too fucked #and like there’s also complicated stuff safety and bad ppl in her life so that’s a stress inducing factor #she’s unemployed and I’m not sure will ever be able to work and can’t drive #not her fault just the reality we live in #also we’re the ppl who live closest to my grandmother who’s health has been rapidly declining so a lot of that has fallen on my other sister #and me to manage #I also have to pet sit a lot because I need the money #and when I come home I have to spend all my time getting the house back in order #also I’m about to be losing a days worth of pay starting September cause the kids I nanny are doing two half days a week of prek #which means less money & with these grocery bills and two more mouths to feed is gonna fuck me in the ass #so like yeah I don’t have the time or energy for hobbies I spend all my damn free time trying to keep the house clean or taking care of #The baby & like it’s just the way it is but it’s not comprable to how all the ppl I knew in highschool r living rn

Look man... I don't care how well written an age gap pairing is, I'm not going to read/watch something if I have to see an old head make a move on a person who is half their age LMAO.

#I was thinking abt watching xmen... good thing I dont really like superhero media that much #or else I would have been mad about the Magneto/Rogue thing in the newer show #''sorry'' but I think old people should only date other old people instead of going for ppl who are like 30 years younger than them #even if both of them are adults... cuz it's like. you are literally at retirement age while your partner is just starting their life #that's just weird and I rlly do think old ppl who do this are malicious - you have to be in order to do this to someone #to take a persons good years away from them just so you can have someone to take care of you... it's pure evil #like ppl rlly do ruin other peoples lives just to appease their egos... its so crazy to me #there aren't alot of tropes that actually make me fume with rage but what Magneto and Rogue got going on #is one of the few tropes I despise #ew STOP I dont want to see that old ass man anywhere near Rogue LMAO

just finished a 30k draft of a fic about haymitch fucking abernathy. can someone please euthanize me?

#euthanasia? wow that's just like in my haymitch fic when *a government sniper takes me out*#it's about cycles of violence it's about baring witness it's about memory #it's about the line between victimization and complicity being blurred it's about funeral rites #it's about the carceral state of psychiatric care in the US it's about learned apathy #it's about houses because it's always about houses with me for fucks sake #and. most importantly. it's about geese <3 #i feel like that 'sorry i havent been posted about bts i started mood stabilizers' meme bc I wrote this in like ? 2 weeks?#And after about 25k words i realized that I'd accidentally fucked up my meds for like at least a week?#maybe more? and was like. oh. well that explains that. but by that point i was already so deep i figured i might as well finish it #and here we are #let this story be a warning to you all that if you fuck up the medication that treats your ptsd #next thing u know u WILL be writing fucked up fanfiction about a middle aged alcoholic #this is deeply embarrassing but what is tumblr if not the space to retroactively document my near-miss with a breakdown

the loneliness of being here is kind of destroying me but she’s being cancelled out by the happiness of actually liking the thought of what i can do w/ my life now so i just feel kinda uncomfortably indifferent instead

#bella.txt #but rly.. i need to figure out how to surround myself w/ more people my age #i feel very alone and idk how to remedy it and it’s making me feel like a loser #=_=#there r ppl in my life where i wish i cld just teleport them to me and have them near me always #i care abt them so much it makes me feel ill like theh don’t know this bc there’s no way to bring tht up like a normal person #but like. yea. i crave being physically near ppl i can’t always or even ever be physically near #i’m in a weird mood rn i think i need a hug or someone to shake me by the shoulders rly hard or smth

I hope my brother can arrange something so he can bear me part of the journey home after this week is all over and done because I am starting to suspect I will not be a safe driver and it could pose an unacceptably high risk that I'll semi-accidentally drive off the road.

#when will this pain end #i hope to discuss it and hopefully minimise the fallout and at least we won't see each other for a week or two. hopefully by then he might #at least be not avoiding me :/#ridiculous and foolish to care so much about any single thing or any single person #i was already nearing the end of my tether socially for this week in any case #and is that a surprise? ive barely eaten and barely slept during this time #i want to talk to his mother who suffered almost identically the same thing at the same age but i dont know if i can bear it or not #i just want to clear this up with him somehow #and now - finally - ten hours after i was first told this - the tears are coming but they cannot #if they do i dont think they will stop #i just need to get through today and then i can break down #maybe i wont help with packing up tomorrow i might not be up for it i dont know #this week has been such a mix of so so good and so terrible #the talks have been really good and all #and i do not regret spending time with him #altho one problem was one time he apparently would have liked me to go away and didn't say but oh! i would have preferred if he had #i feel terrible for not realising that i should've gone away at that point bc it should have been obvious #except it's not to an idiot like me :/

bigass vent over general life things

things in general are really not great i don't really have any optimism for the future or making a life for myself. like i don't really have any drive or ambition to look forward or work towards anything good/meaningful because as time goes on there are going to be really bad life events that i just don't think i can keep facing anymore. and theyre going to be worse. i'm just dragging along life solely on the basis that i was plopped here to just Exist and that's my task at hand that i'm reluctantly upholding. just exist until it's over

#when i say 'i'm 25' 'i'm going to be 26' it does not feel right coming out of my mouth. i do not feel just 25 or 26 i feel far far older #mentally and physically #when i'm around other people my age i just feel on a completely different plane of experience from everyone else #idk. i've always been a naturally anxious and socially stunted person & def have some kind of lingering trauma that keeps me from connectin #w people. but also having no family members or relatives anywhere near my age (~17 yrs older than me at the least) while i was growning up #probably did something to me as well. my entire life has just been witnessing family members decline and die like dominoes over the course #of 25 years. like i know all about end of life care and legal paperwork and shit like that. i know what grief is like and #seeing how it affects people. i know the stages of dread and worry and numbness & guilt-ridden relief that comes with being terrified 24/7 #for an ailing family member over the course of years. knowing what it's like to grieve people who arent dead yet but you know it's coming #and then when the inevitable happens it's horrible. but also you're so exhausted from the strain that you're mostly numb. and then you feel #a sense of relief that the worst is over they're not suffering anymore you don't have to dread it anymore. which obviously makes you #question if you're some kind of deranged asshole for feeling that way. idk #25 for me has been a very eye-opening age where i'm fully realizing how fast time passes. i thought i was at around 18-20 but i was really #just first becoming aware of it.#i know how to view the world from that lens bc that's all i know. i only see life as a preparation for the end #instead of a beginning. or at least see it as a beginning at this current point in my life #covid/lockdown has definitely been a source of mental drain on me as well. the constant fear and paranoia of getting sick AND what sort of #long term consequences i could have due to getting it twice. and what i could have if i get it more than twice #add that with the general social and political climate right now and it's just...so very bleak. home life is bleak & outside world is bleak #vent
