#aight ive rambled too long

[dannysboi]

this is kinda wild but a couple weeks back I was scrolling your blog while my dnd character was out of the current scene. and I was just nabbing a bunch of memes about like. hunting for fun and sport. which is exactly what the current scene in the game was about. and then sending them to the campaign discord.

so I guess what I'm saying is thank you for providing me with some excellently relevant memes during my dnd game

!!!! That's so wild, I'm glad ta be of help 🤠 I didn't realize there were that many about hunting but makes sense when I think bout it😅

I hope your dnd group got some good laughs outta em :3 💚

i love blue peep but why are they condemned to shock collar??? kinda fucked up to use ECT on a psychic without consent i’m sure there’s better stuff. or was it already there and the psychonauts are trying to figure out how to take it off??? or was it voluntary on their end like “i will fuck you all up if you don’t physically harm me?” not being judgy or anything! just trying to figure out how the psychonauts and stuff slot together in your world cause your ocs are so fucking cool

AIGHT so first off i wanna start by saying TY FOR ASKING ABT MY OCS THIS DOESNT HAPPEN ENOUGH 💝💝 this response will be layered, bc when it comes to any of my ocs, what ive written barely covers 1/50th of whats in my head. ill try and dot-point without rambling too long

the shock collar isnt as severe as it looks, i really leaned into the "exaggerated overblown Psychonauts™️ design" with it. the Psychonauts put the collar on them shortly after committing them to their psychic rehabilitation program. it generates enough of a zap to bother them, and stop their psychic power. nothing more. regular checkups are performed by Sasha to make sure the output treads the border of effective and safe

there is, as of the year our friend is 15, a psychic rehabilitation program within the Psychonauts. its mostly geared towards the youth, people with more pliable minds that tend to be more receptive to change, general age range being 13-19, and is headed by Oleander. Kylie (our pink muppet bestie) and a few others are also in this program :)

I also typecast the Psychonauts as being a bit more...antiquated with their methods. remember the psychoisolation chambers? i wouldnt put a goofy ahh psychic shock collar past them

our baffling friend has used their psychic suggestion so often throughout their life that it triggers in any question they ask or vague statement they make. the shock collar is part of their CBT, and was deemed necessary after they displayed a severe lack of control over this dangerous ability, plus their (admittedly small) rap sheet. anyone not actively shielding their mind WILL be influenced by their words

their overuse stemmed from the need to constantly use their power to survive their situation growing up. without going too much into it, they experienced severe emotional neglect, moderate physical neglect, among more nuanced stuff that comes from having emotionally immature parents

they committed crimes of their own accord. this only started a few months before the Psychonauts captured them. it's not a regular pattern of behaviour for them. they had come into contact with a psychic with similar, but much more pronounced abilities, which influenced them greatly. the Psychonauts (justifiably) fear that without harsh intervention this behaviour would escalate. this person is somewhat on the Psychonauts radar, but not much is known about them

with all said, our friend didnt consent to the shock collar. i dont think most 15y/o's would. but theyre aware of their issues with unintentional power usage...they just dont think its a big deal though. theyve never had an issue with their power hurting someone, so isnt everything being blown way out of proportion?

throughout their rehabilitation they do come to realise (much like Raz with Hollis) that tampering with the minds of others is not something done lightly. while at the start of their rehab their sentences are constantly interrupted by jolts and zaps, somewhat symbolic of their lack of understanding or care for how their words (powers) affect others, towards the end there's barely a spark when they speak. theyre even able to ask a few questions without triggering the collar, or their powers

in summary, this character has a lot of me in them, and tbh i couldve used some harsh psychic CBT instead of having to unlearn bad coping mechanisms the long, hard way. like me, they hate having a name, they love quiet public transit, they fear expectations, and they ponder where their somewhat aimless life will take them. im glad you like them, and i hope my 3am ramblings have grown your appreciation for them! i think the name J. (Jayden) Doe will work for them. for now. like me, theyll probably change it later :)

Aight my dudes we're having a BRAIN RAMBLE LESSGOOOOO

I enjoy listening to audiobooks. As much as I like the idea of actually making time to read books, I just dont - and a lot of books I'm interested in are not at my level. I'm not thick and its hard to explain but I struggle a lot with taking in information when its like, smarty-arse well written literature with big words and allegories and crap.

I dont know why (maybe I am just a self-accepted dumbass)  but ANYWAY I take it stories better when they're read to me. I also wish I was better at orally telling stories because I love the oral tradition of storytelling but I am getting off subject this is my brain today. I mostly listen to them at night in bed. I feel like there's a bit of a stigma if you listen to books rather than read them? Like you can't properly say you've experienced the book? Idunno my dudes. But anyway.

I like to listen to a mixture of fiction, historical non-fiction (mostly on celts, vikings, saxons) and folklore (mostly British, Scottish and some Irish and Norse).

Absolutely nobody is interested but this is my blog and here is some books I have listened to, in no particular order:

1) 1984 by George Orwell:

I love its themes and ideas but I wouldnt list it as a top fave.

2) Mythos by Stephen Fry:

Its good and he also narrates it which I like but jfc its a long arse neverending book. Tends to be one I just put on to eventually fall asleep to.

3) Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett:

Most of it anyway, before I fell off but I feel too far through to be arsed to start over. I feel like you can tell the bits that Terry definitely had the ideas for.

4) The Nine by Gwen Strauss:

Absolutely love this biography about a group of young women who survive the holocaust together and escape a nazi death march. 10/10. Narrater performance by Juliet Stevenson is also fantastic.

5) Wonder Tales from Scottish Myth and Legend by Donald Alexander MacKenzie:

Relatively short but a fave, I listen to it regularly and often fall asleep to it but ive listened to it enough times to have listened to all the stories.

6) Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman:

Good shit. Very much like. Does what it says on the tin.

7) Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams:

Actually listened to this one on a road trip.

8) Beowulf:

I mean, it was an experience.

9) Lord of the Flies by William Golding:

Actually just finished this one. Always been interested in this stories themes and characters. Can confirm from career experience school children are dumb.

10) Viking Britain by Tom Williams:

A historical non-fiction. I really enjoyed it its really indepth but Id be fucked if I can tell you much about it because I kept falling asleep during this one and having to go back over chapters endlessly.

Im not too sure what to really listen to next or what even my taste really is in books???? Anyway thank you for listening to my pointless TedTalk.

OMG FLASHBACKS TO WHEN I FIRST JOINED THE DCA FANDOM

Aight

So

Storytime✨️✨️✨️

(Strap in, its unnecessarily long and takes a while to make sense XD)

Ive been into fnaf since literally forever, but never really took notice of the dcas until ruin came out.

I was mostly on the theory side of the fandom, having been in the more character focused part too when i was younger but drifting away from it over time.

Ruin released and i watched a playthough stream literally ON RELEASE HOUR XD

And i just absolutely fell in love with eclipse

I thought they were ADORABLE

Coincidentally, this was also not too long after i first got Tumblr

So obviously i started following all the new ruin stuff people were putting out here, including Eclipse art and hcs and everything else

Which led to me falling HEAD FIRST INTO THE DCA FANDOM

UNPREPARED

OUT OF NOWHERE

Never before them did i like characters that were similar to them so even i was just so hella confused as i not only discovered that so many people loved them

But also as i discovered that i was really warming up to them too

I understood liking Eclipse because he was actively helpful and caring and sweet, but i guess i just didnt see the appeal in the others yet???? XD

Never in a million years did i think that Sun and Moon would be characters id obsess over

But like

Here i am XD

But anyway

ONTO THE ACTUAL POINT OF THIS RAMBLE

When i first started realizing i was super invested in these characters, is when i saw alot

And i mean A LOT

Of people hardcore simping over Moons voice

At the time, i was so confused

"How tf are you guys attracted to this creepy evil creature and his ugly bald ass, with a weird scary voice? Hes so ugly and he sounds weird how are yall into this???? You guys are FREAKY 😭"

And oh how ive switched gears 💀💀💀💀🤣🤣

I have no idea how it happened

But over time without even realizing it, my view on the dcas was just totally changed XD

The more time i spent in the fandom sphere, the more i started to love them

And honestly, it also kind of changed me as a person on a few levels too??????

Like, my entire aesthetic has partially changed and evolved because of these silly guys

And alot of my views on some things (one of the main ones being gender, hilariously enough. Who would've thought a trio of robot jesters wouldve given me a better perspective on gender) and even on myself have changed (positively) because of this fandom, its fanfics and its fanart

And the type of characters and styles i gravitate towards has totally changed

I used to ignore or even straight up dislike anything jester or clown related, but now i absolutely adore it lmao

Ive even gotten much more positive and bubbly and energetic in general, which could just be correlation and have happened unrelated, but id bet its atleast partially because of my Sunny obsession XD

Like, all because of these characters and this fandom, ive grown and developed in ways i probably wouldnt have without it, and im actually really glad because i feel good about it, and, thinking about it, its probably made a positive impact in some way

And thats without even mentioning the wonderful people in the fandom ive interracted with and the events ive had the opportunity to take part in!

But yeah, so over time i did in fact grow to love the dcas XD

And i can now in fact agree that, yes, i LOVE Moons voice 💙💙

Even if i didnt always (or it atleast took a bit to sink in) XD

Am I the only one who thinks so, your honor?

[rayjayoo]

.... yall want pokemon au art? :D 

[yostresswritinggirl]

.... I'm back i can't sleep i need to ramble abt khaeri'ah

so like the eclipse dynasty? does it have anything to do with the eclipse tribe of hilichurls?? like more than the other tribes

im all for Albedo dying in an archon quest, his field of study pretty much ended a whole civilization?? ah, i remember losing my shit over albedo lore during the 1.2 update

i need to go look at the wiki again bc ive only glanced at it twice since 1.0 ;-;

is it possible that the tsaritsa has connections with khaeri'ah? before the cataclysm?? more importantly why did she choose the fatui symbol to be something already so prominent in architecture?

i think it mentioned in one of the trailers that dainslief (and the rest of khaeri'ah) dislike allogenes and by extension, celestia so like with the tsaritsas whole overthrowing celestia thing... 👁️👁️

slightly irrelevant but since i mentioned the tsaritsa, do the harbingers have a form of immortality? or at least extended lifetime since the first harbinger is still alive and never got replaced. they've also mentioned to be just below gods so??

ah so many questions so little answers (⇀‸↼‶)

—🍡, an anon desperately clawing at any bit of abyss/khaeri'ah/fatui lore they can get their hands on

Aight I’m actually behind that Eclipse tribe being related to the Eclipse dynasty/Khaenri’ah for the following reasons: The samachurl of the eclipse tribe is the only one who knows the importance of the symbol, which means there’s a bigger hidden meaning to the eclipse symbol for them; it should also be noted that the Eclipse tribe has a thing for ruins, in this case, being sighted camping in or by ruins unlike the other tribes which could be their unconscious tying it in with the ruins of Khaenri’ah; and the last being the fact that out of the three tribes, it’s their tribe that has the most distinct and out of place name, the others being meaty and strong tribe, which is such a loser name.

I miss Albedo but you’re not far off on that wish, tho I feel like there’s still more for him in terms of Gold. And I do hope that his last story quest would at least bring us Gold - Albedo confrontation.

Already answered this previously, but there seems to be a strong attachment between the Tsaritsa and Khaenri’ah/humans in general.

Also ngl I was confused what that fucking meant until I realized that oh people with visions, and yes that’s very true, remember also that Dainsleif fuckin hates the adepti. Or anything related to the divine really.

I actually got to thinking on this one because we have a very rough timeline. First of all, the Tsaritsa as I mentioned started forming and gathering the Harbingers 500 years ago, but this does not tell us exactly when she started gathering the first Harbinger or how long did her planning take. There is some kind of item lore on the Fatui’s going on however that points to immortality on a very specific person, but it’s still too little information to go on. So for now, it’s a huge maybe.

The below gods thingy has to do with the Harbingers being blessed with their Delusions, because this grants them not only more power but also the capability to snatch the gnosis from archons.

WHAT is an underhero. tell me all you know about it /lh

ALLLL i know about it? aight, this might get a bit spoilery

Underhero is a game made by Paper Castle, ironically it wasn’t inspired by undertale at all but moreso inspired by paper mario games

so in the beginning of the game u play as the hero

this dude

and u start out in Stitched Castle specifically the Hero’s path which leads to Mr. Stitches’ throne room. as you go down along the Hero’s path there are three masked kids up ahead that are tasked to kill u cus y’know they’re Mr. stitches’ underlings. There’s one masked kid who has the idea to drop a chandelier onto the hero the other two dismiss the idea because the find it ridiculous and go over to the hero to confront him.

but the one masked kid stays behind and boom drops the chandelier onto the hero and unfortunately the other two masked kids were standing under the chandelier too so they also died.(this isnt really a spoiler as it shows this happen in the trailer but i played this completely blind so i had no clue it was going to happen)

This is the REAL protagonist of the game

after killing the hero you start playing as this Masked kid. from the chandelier you hear someone ask for help. that someone ends up being a talking sword hilt named Elizabeth IV

She can turn into a sword, hammer, and slingshot. At the beginning of the game she shows clear disdain to all the minions, including the Masked Kid (who i will be calling MK from now on). Elizabeth asks MK to hide her since it would be bad if she got into Mr. Stitches’ hands and along with Elizabeth MK obtains three magical stones that the hero was carrying

So after MK dropped the chandelier on the hero and masked kids Mr. Stitches assistant named Frankie spotted MK by the chandelier which very clearly had blood and dead bodies under it. Frankie takes Mr. Stitches to tell him the news and Mr. Stitches frees Princess Cereza who he was using as bait for the hero and tasks MK to give the three stones back to the bosses that they belonged to.  (he gives MK one stone at a time so every time you return one stone you have to go back to mr stitches to obtain another)

this is mr stitches btw he would’ve been a tumblr sexyman if the game was more popular ngl

Elizabeth asks MK to go to a more secluded place so that she can talk to them in a private area and MK takes her to their apartment.

Elizabeth gives a speech about how she’s a magical weapon made by some ancient heros or something and asks if Mk accepts their new role as a hero (which MK responds with “!?” and Elizabeth takes that as a yes). She comes up with a plan to play along with Mr. Stitches and deliver the stones back to the bosses to give themselves time to get strong enough to take him down. and in order to get stronger MK needs to kill their coworkers for experience.

They set off to go to the first world which is The Moth Forest where the Moth Queen lives

Oh yeah also there’s a journal that MK uses to jot down their adventures which is very helpful because if u ever get lost on what ur supposed to do you can just read it. I also like reading it because it shows MK’s perspective on things

i mean it makes sense Elizabeth hates the “bad guys” at first because she’s a “good guy” but as the game goes on both Elizabeth’s and MK’s views on “good” and “bad” are changed.

this journal entry is written when you’re in world 3

(notice the how MK uses a nickname now that’s so cute)

Elizabeth even ends up regretting telling MK to kill the minions for experience points to get stronger. and JEEZ at the beginning of the game you kinda just kill willy nilly not realizing the weight of what you’re doing until later on. You can avoid killing people by going around them somehow or bribing them but you can’t avoid or bribe everyone so you can’t do a no kill run. second world isn’t that bad because most enemies are ghosts which don’t die when defeated one ghost even tells MK that they’re doing them a favor because they get to take a break from patrolling after being defeated.fourth world also isn’t that bad because the only enemies are robots which aren’t sentient

it really hurts when you realized that MK is literally just a kid. they didn’t even want to be a hero but they were pressured into it the moment they killed the “true” hero.

nearing the end of the game you’re back at the Hero’s Path which is where other Masked Kids patrol

at this point in the game you’re encouraged not to kill and instead bribe or sneak past enemies (it’s also just harder to kill them because Masked kids fight like the player meaning they can block, interrupt, or parry your attacks) there are no other endings of this game so it doesn’t really affect the game if you do decide to kill the enemies at the castle, i personally bribed or sneaked past because 1 masked kids r hard to fight 2 i feel bad for MK

AND SINCE YOU’RE BACK AT THE HERO’S PATH YES THAT MEANS YOU ENCOUNTER THE FALLEN CHANDELIER THAT KILLED THE HERO

THIS ENTRY HURTS SO MUCh IT’S OK MK YOU DIDN’T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE SOMEONE GIVE THIS KID A HUG PLEASE

there is so much angst in this game

there is also a lot of humor in this game :D!

i’d keep rambling on but there’s just so much to cover this post would take too long to read so i skipped explaining a bunch of stuff. this game isn’t like undertale it takes like 12 hours to beat  unlike undertale which takes about 3-6 hours to beat depending on the route so i can’t really sum it all up easily.

[daimonhalos]

Aight this is the second time I watch it but I'm gonna do a commentary on the latest bad's lore stream! Just for funsies, I might have honestly already forgotten some stuff so I wanna keep my thought process :3 let's go, commentary under the cut.

There's also some small theories/analysis in some points but nothing too much, just me rambling cause pain.

The pre stream song. Faster and Bad never change please.

I love so so so much the ominous soundtracks he puts as background for lore man it's just so coooool.

Reality check pre/post lore my beloved 💜

that little meh eh eh. is everything

he's just on a boat at night and but can already see he's got shaders on, this means PRETTY VISUALS AHEAD. Also i really like bits beginning with the character alone heading towards their destined direction, it's just pleasing

HIM TAKING DOWN ANTI EGG POSTERS. KING SHIT

Can't believe I got to hear "muffinhead" in lore voice.

Not even inside the room and HOLY SHIT they covered it all with the red bricks block IM AAAAH IT'S SO PRETTY. Like before the vines were all put at random but now they're neatly placed and it's actually aesthetically pleasing? I love it

BADBOY STARTING TO BE CONFLICTED BECAUSE HE NEVER HAS A FUCKING BREAK

Skeppy so dry with his responses. stop i will cry

bad. bad why are you bringing up selfies to a lore stream bad-

"why are you still talking to me" "okay..." stop stop PLEASE STOP-

smol growls, he's getting frustrated

idk why but skeppy talking about the perimeters made me laugh it was just funny how far away he was and just started talking about it randomly

"i think it looked a little bit better before" thoughts being thunk

"what's it gonna take for you to stop talking to me?" literally i am deceased s t o p

STOP STEPPIN ON THE MAGMA BLOCKS SIR YOU'RE HURTING

Bad shouldn't be so happy about just having "one last walk around" with skeppy so he "stops bothering" him tHIS HURTS SO MUCH the egg has fucked them up so much

Skeppy doesn't hear it huh? Maybe it whispers different things to everyone

"I like how it feels" nooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP HURTING TOURSELF

so no dance? *slams phone on the ground*

When skeppy says his line about never seeing anything close to a party there, idk what it is about it but his tone just hits, man he's so good preesh

HE CALLED HIM ANT. BAD PLS YOUR BEING BAD AT NAMES IS SHOWING

"Oh my goodness you're going back to the egg" HE'S SO SAD. HE'S SO SAD CAUSE HE COULDNT KEEP HIM WITH HIM A LITTLE BIT LONGER HES S

"you know what? i invite you" i wanna read this in a certain way. The egg was feeling like bad was so frustrated he started doubting the egg, so it was like alright let's use skeppy to get it closer to I can manipulate this bad boy better :)) motherfuck

are they about to kiss-

egg cockblocker

"okay don't come back" end me rn

ngl when sapnap joined I got real scared for a moment.

"it's not about power! it's nor about control! i'm you friend skeppy!" "I mean ... you can think that" FUCK U NO IM NOT DEALING WITH THIS RN

"We're friends, right?"

"In your head we can be best friends, we can be whatever you want" BDI ANYONE??????? also whatever- whatever he wants? :eyes: okay sorry no ill see myself out

"You think you've done anything? You seriously think that?" *looks at my fic where bad feels worthless because the egg said so* ahah... I'm sorry?

"You left me for a long, long long time before you even checked up on me, okay?" he's not wrong,,,, he's not wrong why does this hurt sm,,,,, "and now all of a sudden you care about me?" OH MY GOD PLEASE I HATE THIS EGG

I see them... i see them approaching the lava blocks..

"the past doesn't matter" the egg wanting to erase their relationship so much,,,, i wanna cry because then if bad doesn't have skeppy he just has nothing right and then,,, then he can be another empty vessel for the fucking egg I hate this mI hate this so much

Also!!! little things I noticed!! Bad taking away part of the vine and also mining a red block? Without being affected at all? MHHHH

"I just wanted us to hang out like we used to" BAD'S VOICE CRACKING AGAIN STOP I WILL CJRYSD

"I did all of this for you and I didn't want the egg to take that away" you see how fucking tragic this is. Like Skeppy sacrificed himself so his friend could stop being infected. Bad sacrificed literally the whole server himself included to get him back. And then it comes down to this. The egg separating them a thousand fucking miles away. I hate this it's so sad

the selfish bit please no stop

THE LAVA BAD THE LAVA PLEASE IT'S TOO CLOSE

the fucking shaking with rage thing got me BROOOO I LOVE WHEN BAD DOES THE LITTLE THINGS IN GAME

"IT'S JUST A STUPID EGG" FUCKING FINALLY YOU TELL HIM BAD but then oh no oh no would you look at that huh. cant fucking have shit in dsmp. the way he immediately just screams for him right after

BDI FUCKING CANON LET'S GOOOOOOO WE CALLED ITTTT

(Dreamscape?)Skeppy being actually concerned with him haha this doesn't hurt at all!!!

*stares at black screen* I'm fine.

Thank you for listening to my ramble I am hurting so much bestie

[newspecies]

hiiiii i wanna talk about SOL now bcus ive neen thinking about it all day. mostly im gonna talk about the map i think. i dont really have any ideas for this i just wanna ramble

under cut bcuz it ended up being ungodly long

ok so first im gonna talk about the main four kingdoms:

Thornwood is a large forest ruled mainly by wolves, consisting of many packs and territories, though one pack is the one that deals with communications with other kingdoms.

Glenlocke is also a large forest whos royal family is made up of foxes, though there are rumors of wolves from the Great Green in their family tree. the more recent rulers have been known for cruelty, especially the current Queen Lurid.

Atlas is a mountain region ruled by dragons, their royal family has been cursed to never have a male child. Queens are largely seen as far more capably than kings. they are generally more private than the other kingdoms. Currently ruled by Queen Kunzite and King Bluebee.

Crystal is a kingdom ruled by big cats. It mainly has three regions in it: Mesa, savannah, and desert. they are more open than the other three kingdoms and have the most diversity species wise. there's an abundance of tropical animals for some reason. known for their many magic users. Currently ruled by Queen Zenit and King Junior

these four kingdoms are largely isolated from the rest of the world and none of them know much about the places beyond the Great Green and the Wasteland.

the Wasteland is a place that is thought to have once been many thriving biomes, but now, for some unknown reason, it has become completely uninhabitable. very few can live there. there are tales of a decaying forest called the Wailing Woods. I'm sure you can imagine what noises might come from this forest. there are also tales of a white tiger wandering this desolate land.

The Great Green consists of every type of forest conceivable. There's not much known about it by the outside world. What is known is that smack dab in the middle of the Great Green is a large rain forest called Lunar Forest. It is unknown where the word "Lunar" comes from. many nocturnal animals live in this forest because of the canopy blocking out most sunlight. There are also many wolf packs living on the border between the Great Green and Glenlocke. They cannot get over said border because of the large crack in the earth that separates the two territories. many other communities exist in this region but this section is getting long so I'm moving on.

The cat colonies don't have much going on. It's literally just warrior cats right now, I still need to work them out.

Equos is a kingdom consisting of a lot of mythical horses or other hooves creatures. Including kirins, unicorns, pegasi, nightmares, hippocamps, and a myriad of hybrids. Honestly name a mythical horse and its probably there.

Nockasaur Island is an island with big reptiles. By big reptiles I mean dinosaurs. Said dinosaurs can turn into rocks at will. Do not ask me why younger me just thought it was funny I guess. I've been writing for too long now my brain is soup. Current ruler is King Aven.

Lyre Island is full of creatures called Lyres. They like music got nothing other than that I am soso tired now.

Glacier kingdom is full of ice age animals. Ruled by Queen Frigid. Sabretooth tiger.

aight that was too long im gonna go do other stuff now i guess

the meeting of two souls: mark & my/n

hi hello good day how are you? i hope you're well today/tonight this is like 3 weeks late isn't it :D pls don't come after me i lost some motivation to write for a while but here i am now so let's get to it!!

aight so you met donghyuk's roommate for the first time yesterday and,,

you honestly had NO IDEA someone could be that cute

highkey regretting not asking for his name but you were so caught up in lingering on the fact that he implied you were pretty , like wHO DOES THAT ASDFKJL

you highkey shouted the verbal equivalent of a keyboard smash with ur roommate and she was all !! oh so this guy cute cute

you were contemplating whether or not to sneakily ask donghyuk for his name but you were worried bc hyuk has,, crazy sense when it comes to reading people and seeing through their words

and honestly you didn’t want to have to deal with hyuk potentially teasing the shit out of u for having a maybe crush on his roommate whom u’d just met

so you just beat your pillow sleep on it after your roommate reminds you it’s getting late and no life decisions should be made after 12am!! live by it

you wake up craving jjajangmyeon but alas if you were to get any satisfaction of that kind of hunger, it was going to have to wait because

~~ we love ~~ packed schedules ~~ in this house ~~

i hopes the sarcasm was noted in that previous sentence bc now u wish for life to cease

4 weeks into the semester and you were drowning in the midst of reports and lab pracs and content and revision

you were ready to ascend to the next life with only regret and an ability to vaguely explain the properties of a prokaryotic cell and endosymbiosis

but honestly donghyuk’s been a big help throughout the past month

your only friend in classes

official study buddy

2am revision session consultant

personal older brother bc he claimed you as his adoptive sister

another reason your roommate told you to go to bed was bc you literally have

a tutorial class + 2 consecutive 1.5 hour lectures + a 3 hour lab class to finish your day off

with no break for lunch in between :’((

looks like you’ll be starving through your library study session with dy/n

but oop

you find that dy/n had stayed up long after you’d fallen asleep writing her essay 

leaving your dorm feeling a twinge of guilt that u might have distracted her from focusing on her work to listen to your rambles and kept her up later than she should have been

but a text from her in the afternoon reassures u that honestly she wasn’t even planning to write that essay and The Feels™ had just hit her last night and that she made it to class

you: oh PHEW that’s good

you: sorry i didn’t wake you up on my way out, u looked so peaceful i couldn’t bear to disturb

dy/n 🦁: dw dw it’s all g i made it n e way

dy/n 🦁: also is it cool if my friend and his friend comes to the study sesh as well we have to go through some lecture content

you: ah yes don’t see why not :)) i’ll probs have my earphones in the entire time anyways lmao won’t affect me

but will it

“who u texting in the middle of diffusion” cue hyuk peering over at the phone you’re hiding in your lap

you click your tongue at him and lock your phone, “someone twice the man you’ll ever be”

he gasps in mock horror like he’d just witnessed a murder as quietly as he can ,,

“you’re texting a guy? in the middle of diffusion?”

“no. my roommate lmao”

“and what? is it me or your roomma—”

“—my roommate” you glance back up at the prof without looking at him

“ouch”

“you dare?”

“if i don’t dare, who will”

and due to this exchange, you miss the osmosis slide

“ah shit what was osmosis again”

“lmfao what makes u think i know that”

(pause)

“isn't it just.. net movement of free water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration”

sorry my bio neural pathways are being excited again after being revisited for the first time in two years

/stares at him/ “why was that infuriating to hear from u”

after class you prepare to head to your dreaded 3-hour lab class you have with donghyuk but he stands up and stares into the void blankly

“where am i going”

“where do u think”

“oh, hell, most likely”

you scoff at the accuracy and drag him out of the lecture hall

you look at donghyuk and he’s visibly resisting the urge to poke your cheek when he first puts on his gloves

“what’s with you today”

he stares at his hands forlornly, “idk ask that to my timetable”

“week 4 got u dead huh”

he glances at you with a frown, “don’t act like u’re not dying too”

“damn. touché”

to your dismay, the lab class runs later than scheduled and you get out of it 20 minutes after it was meant to finish but luckily it’s your last class

with a quick goodbye to donghyuk and a text letting dy/n know you were going to be a lil late, u stop by ur dorm to pick up ur textbook before rushing to the library

you were highkey exhausted and just. famished by that point

but a promise is a promise and you weren’t going to back out of one now

especially when you felt like you owed your roommate one and it was you who originally suggested a library session

so you get to the library, bag strap slung over your shoulder, checking the photo of the seats dy/n had saved for you in the library

highkey getting lost once or twice but you manage

you get to the general area and spot dy/n sitting at a four-seater (wow how’d they get that) but you

freeze when you see who’s sitting next to her

it’s ??

????????

????????????????

/error 404/

????????????????

????????

ur heart goes into panic mode bc

it’s not even kidding it’s donghyuk’s roommate

and despite ur brain short-circuiting

you manage to remember that dy/n had said that mentioned her friend’s.. roommate.. also coming along..

and if her friend was donghyuk’s.. roommate..

you: :                             )

you: oh my god they were roommates

and speak of the devil

“oh hey fancy seeing u here”

you turn around and it’s donghyuk legit chills right there

you barely reply a “hi”

“i thought u were going to ur dorm for dinner”

“ah yeah—no i’m.. gonna go over some.. diffusion”

“oii! over here dude” his roommate whisper-yells out at donghyuk

dy/n waves at you “heYY my/n”

donghyuk waves and turns back to you “welp i’m gonna join a study group.. you could join if you came alone? i’m sure they won’t mind”

“about that”

“u waiting for someone?”

“i’m going over there too”

“what?”

he glances over at the table and then back to you

“that’s my roommate. right there next to your roommate”

you point her out and then donghyuk’s jaw drops

“what the fUC—” and you both. burst iinto laughter at the ridiculousness of the situation

like ?? how???

“wOW r u KIDDING”

“HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN”

“talk about a coincidence.. oh my god my cheekbones hurt” he says as he clutches his side

so you get to the table and dy/n tries to introduce u to donghyuk’s roommate

“mark, this is my/n, my/n this is mark”

ah yes so mark is his name, you think

cute name for a cute boi

“nice to meet you again, mark”

dy/n: “?? again?”

mark gives u a rlly wide smile “yeah we’ve met. hi my/n”

you swear you’ve never had your heart flutter like this

fdksoafjadgioarigilf

then mark introduces dy/n to donghyuk and they start talking about how they’re your legal guardian and telling the other to “get in line”

leaving you in middle like “ok mum and dad” but also thinking back to when donghyuk was highkey flirting with you,, and now how he’s flirting with dy/n ,, oh dude he’s flirting

and highkey ,,, you don’t have any hard feelings about it ,, you know she’s also got this kind of humour code and she’s far more comfortable with meeting new people

until dy/n jokes about custody rules and donghyuk replies with “who says we’re split”

ok mum and dad

n e ways you came to study and study you will

so you settle down and go through your notes for the day

albeit being a lil distracted by mark who sits right across from you somehow, somewhy,,

somewhy should be a word you can’t tell me how to english

you keep wanting to steal glances at him but you have to physically restrain yourself from doing so

and also donghyuk who keeps poking u under the table and texting u even though he’s right next to you

💩hyuk: bro

💩hyuk: bro

💩hyuk: bro

💩hyuk: bro

💩hyuk: bro

you: wHAT

💩hyuk: nvm lol

you: im boutta slap u. give me my pen back i saw that

💩hyuk: damn

💩hyuk: also r u hungry

you: terribly

you: why

💩hyuk: does ur roommate have any allergies

you: not that i know of

you: again

you: why

you: u buyin?

💩hyuk: 🤡<- you

💩hyuk: 🤡, how do you feel about dinner

you: invalid question. no variable answer

💩hyuk: alright, 🤡. im not buying for u

you glower at him but he isn’t looking at u,, he leans back and laments about how he’s craving chinese food

did he read your damn mind how did he know

and apparently he’s read dy/n’s mind too at how she jumps up at the mention of chinese and agrees profusely

so you find yourself abandoning your studies for the rest of the night and in a restaurant lmfao

“chill,, guys,,, jjajang is fine”

rock paper scissors for the cheque ends in mark’s tears

“no it’s ok. i’m ok it’s our first meeting as a fateful group and it makes sense! for me to pay”

after you satisfy your cravings the boys walk dy/n and you back to your dorm

mark tells dy/n to give him her bag for him to carry and while she practically gives it up to him, he has to insist that he’ll carry yours too

to which you’re like omg no it’s fine i can carry it it’s not that heavy i swear—

until donghyuk takes ur bag off ur shoulder and passes it to mark

because of the narrow path, you’re forced to walk in pairs and you end up walking next to donghyuk who makes happy sounds about how good that food was and how priceless mark’s face was when he lost rock paper scissors

then dy/n takes the initiative to make a group chat for you four,, asking for donghyuk’s number to add

you give her a look like damn gurl but you have no idea if she saw or if she just ignored you on purpose lmfao

also donghyuk looked way too happy afterwards

either way you slapped her when you got back to the dorm like “SINCE WHEN WERE YOU SO ?? BRAVE?”

dy/n: um

dy/n: honey

dy/n: have you met me

and thus the chaos of a group chat was born and just like a real child, you spent hours on it

dy/n 🦁: ok we inside

you: thanks for dinner again mark!

💩hyuk: he says you’re welcome

💩hyuk: i say we “accidentally” lose our purses next time we go out

you: nah you’re paying next

💩hyuk: y

💩hyuk: y, 🤡

dy/n 🦁: yes y, 🤡

dy/n 🦁: HAHAH WHY IS SHE 🤡

💩hyuk: i thought you of all people would know

dy/n 🦁: why is she just as dumb in class as she is in the dorm?

💩hyuk: i knew it

dy/n 🦁: she poured too much hot water into her tea the other day it overflowed and spilt onto her foot

mark: oh no were u okay

💩hyuk: looks like you’re gonna have to study osomsis

💩hyuk: osmoiss

💩hyuk: fuck

you: yes i’m okay it wasn’t that hot i had socks on too

💩hyuk: osmosis

dy/n 🦁: avoided tragedy luckily

💩hyuk: finally

you: there is a reason you’re saved as 💩hyuk on my phone

dy/n 🦁: HAAHAHAHAHHAHAH

seriously you just don’t know just how much this group was going to mean to you yet

“I don’t know what you did to get her to give you a second chance, but I need to warn you.” Ally said. Tom turned to look at her, they had only ever spoken when necessary for theater stuff. 

“Warn me?” He asked. 

“Y/N can make your life either very, very good or very, very bad. She has most of the professors in this school wrapped around her pinky. And she doesn’t make it obvious, but she’s the smartest person I’ve ever met. She can really help you if you let her.”

“Well, thanks.” He said awkwardly and turned back to his stuff. 

“One more thing.” Ally said. Tom turned again and raised his eyebrows. “Don’t you dare catch feelings.” “Seriously? No need to worry about that.” Ally scoffed. 

“I’m serious, Tom. Don’t. She doesn’t need that right now.” 

“Yeah, fine, I get it.” He said. 

“Alright guys let’s get started.” Gigi said, signaling rehearsal was about to start. 

* * * 

It was finally Friday, and your phone was blowing up as you walked to the library. Class had gotten out late, so you were walking as fast as possible so you wouldn’t be late to your meeting with Tom. 

Al

if Y/N is ok with it its fine with me

Iz

i still dont know how i feel about this

Em 

pretty pretty please guys i really like this guy and he really wants me to go

You 

glad we got that sorted ill see u guys at mine at 8

You walked into the library, checking your watch and seeing it was 4:02. You bit your lip. Hopefully he didn’t give you any crap for being late. 

You walked quickly into hlab, and you knew you looked like a crazy person. Your bag was falling off your shoulder, you had a coffee in your hand and your water bottle tucked under your arm, and your phone in your other hand. 

You scanned the room and saw Tom sitting across from Max, both of them had books out. 

“Hi,” you said breathlessly. Max slid over a seat so you could sit across from Tom. “So sorry I’m late, crazy day.” 

“No worries dar-” You heard him start to say darling, but stopped himself. “No worries. It’s only 2 minutes after.” 

“How long have you been waiting?” You asked.

“Max and I have been hanging out for a while, not a big deal.” 

“Speaking of, I’m on alc duty for tonight so I better go.” Max said, did his stupid handshake with Tom, and walked out. 

Hlab was almost empty except for some freshman. Most people don’t like studying on a Friday, who could blame them?

“So I got a copy of your lectures from this week. What do you want to start with?”

“I don’t care.” 

“Ok, what is currently confusing you the most?” He thought for a second before saying “Astronomy.” You nodded. 

“Great, grab your notes and your textbook.” He pulled out a notebook and his laptop, opening the online textbook. You pulled out your laptop and a pen and highlighter. 

“May I?” You asked and pulled his notebook to your side. You went through his notes, circling certain things with the pen and highlighting others. 

“These are really good, Tom. I like how you put question marks next to things that confused you.” He laughed. 

“Do I get a gold star?” He joked. You rolled your eyes. 

“So phases of the moon.” You started. 

“Wait a second,” he said after you had been talking for a while. “You’re telling me that the moon doesn’t actually, like, change?” 

“It’s all shadows.” You replied. He nodded and seemed to finally be getting it. 

“The phases will most definitely be on your next lab, which isn’t open note, so make sure you memorize them.” You said. “Let’s move onto stats.” He groaned. “What?” You asked. 

“Statistics is so stupid. Letters and numbers shouldn’t go together.” You rolled your eyes. 

“Stats is easy, I promise you. This is the first unit, all we’re doing is descriptive statistics and graphing. Let’s start with some vocab.” You said, highlighting certain words in his notes. 

Once you could see his brain was about to explode, you moved onto writing. 

“There’s not much to talk about, just email me your most recent paper so I can go through it and look for themes we need to discuss.” 

‘“Themes?” He asked. 

“You know, on going issues that need to be addressed.” He nodded and emailed you his paper, which you would read tomorrow. You heard your phone buzz and took a quick glance. 

Em

al dont be upset

Al

then dont give me a reason to get upset

what is it

Em

……….. It’s themed

Al

are you kidding? were not freshmen, i dont wanna go to a stupid themed frat party

Em

its blackout !!!! itll be fun i promise

You turned your phone back down and didn’t realize you had an upset look on your face. 

“Everything ok?” He asked. 

“Just arguing in the group chat.” 

“Do you need to go?” He asked. 

“No, no, just arguing about tonight.” 

“What’s tonight?” 

“Tonight is not related to political conflict, which is what we should be talking about.” He laughed. 

“Do you ever have fun?” 

“Excuse me?” 

“I’m serious, do you ever have fun, or do you just go to sleep surrounded by planners and textbooks.” 

“That’s not funny. There’s a lot more about me that you don’t know.” 

“Clearly.” 

“So we’re starting off with socioeconomic issues over time and the class strugle. Did you read the Marx chapters?” 

“Yup. Didn’t understand a word of it.” 

“Ok, let’s get into it.” You said and began rambling about the bourgeoisie and the communist manifesto. Politics was your favorite subject, you could talk about it for hours. 

You were having a really good discussion with Tom. It was global political conflict, and he was able to connect the themes to both America and England, which made you really pleased. 

You were pulled out of your discussion when your phone vibrated. 

Iz

pickin up panera anyone want anything 

“Jeez it’s already past 6:30, I gotta go.” You said. 

“Oh, I’m sorry.” He said. 

“No it’s not your fault, I get so into politics I lose track of time.” “I can tell.” He said as you both packed up your stuff. 

“Wanna grab some food?” He asked. 

“Sorry, can’t,” you said. 

“Why, got a hot date?” He joked. 

“Maybe,” you said. 

“At least let me walk you to wherever you’re going.” 

“You don’t have to do that.” 

“Well where are you going?” 

“Congression Hall?” You replied. 

“Wait, you live there?” 

“Uhm, yes? Me along with practically every other junior.” 

“What floor?” 

“8.” You said. 

“Should’ve guessed.” He replied as you started walking across the quad. 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” 

“Honors 8. I forgot you were in hc.” He was referring to the eighth and top floor of Congression Hall, which was reserved for the honors college juniors. 

“Yeah.” You said simply. 

“I’m on six, by the way.” He said. “That’s why I was curious. I’ve never seen you around there.” 

“I’m not usually, I only really use it for sleep.” 

“Of course,” he replied. 

“I assumed you lived in a frat house.” You commented. 

“Nah, next year.” He said with a wink. “Speaking of frat houses, there’s kind of this party going on at Delt tonight-” 

“I’m aware.” You said, cutting him off. 

“Ah, well, if you want I can get you on the list.” You smiled to yourself. 

“No need, I’m already on the list.” You said. 

“Oh?” He said, clearly embarrassed. “Because of delta nu?” 

“Nope.” You said, not offering any other information. 

“Well maybe I’ll see you there then.” 

“Even if you do see me there, I will be pretending I don’t know you.” 

“Why?” He asked, clearly offended. “I run that house.” He joked, trying to play off the embarrassment. 

“No offense, but your reputation would not be good for mine.” 

“What’s that supposed to mean?” 

“Well I have a certain reputation in the greek community, and if people see me with you they’ll get the wrong idea.” 

“The wrong idea?” He asked as you walked in the lobby of your building. 

“Well, see, the thing is,” you said, stepping into the elevator. He pressed the button for six and eight. “I have certain standards. If people see me with you, they’ll think I’ve…” 

“Wow, you are really uptight, aren’t you?” 

“Excuse me?” 

“Certain standards? Jesus christ, you’re not the queen, Y/N. And I don’t have a bad reputation. But god forbid I don’t live up to your ‘standards.’” He said, storming off the elevator without another word, clearly upset. You sighed. Good job, Y/N. 

Tom got to his room and threw his stuff on the floor, collapsing on his bed. His head hurt from all the tutoring, and trying to focus on not staring at your lips.

[pepprs]

[DONT RB] ok so there’s no way for me to talk abt this that isn’t gonna make me look like an absolute dumbass but im in the middle of a creative existential crisis and i rly need help figuring it out :•( this is gonna get SUPER LONG so im putting it under a readmore. thank u to anyone who reads this!!! and double thank u to anyone who can give some input / advice, i rly rly appreciate it. im sorry abt the length!

aight so for some background.... ive been drawing n writing poetry for abt 5 yrs now and both of those things r rly important to me. in school im an english major w a creative writing minor (for the poetry) and i work as a graphic designer (for the art) so ive been growing a lot as an artist and writer esp in the past 2 yrs and im kinda workin towards one or the other (or ideally both somehow!) as a career. one of the biggest dreams ive had since i started seriously pursuing both of these hobbies 5 yrs ago is to publish a book of poetry that i design / illustrate myself, and also to have a portfolio online where ppl can read all of my poetry and see all of my artwork (both professional / work stuff but also archives of all of my sketchbooks since those r rly important to me!!!) and maybe even make some sort of online shop where ppl can buy my art (stickers, keychains, etc!) and my poetry books!

that sounds pretty simple right? WRONG!!!!!! why? bc im a fucking idiot! and there are several dumb things i do that make this dream completely impossible for me to achieve! love that for me!

so for starters... ive been posting (almost) all of my art and ALL of my poetry online for all 5 yrs ive been creating it. that’s bad because:

ive hardly ever used my real name (which i would want to use for the book / shop / portfolio), it’s been under my usernames / aliases that go along w them (p*pe, pep, pea, etc and related usernames that shall not be mentioned) and i started going by my real first name only abt a yr ago, but still maintain those usernames for the most part in conjunction w my real name

my work has been primarily been posted to d*viantart and tumblr which aren’t exactly the most uh... professional places to do that. not that there rly are many i guess lmao but still

my online persona on these platforms is rly like. lax and loose which is Cool And Quirky when brought into a professional setting if it’s done right i guess.... but im just immature and unprofessional. i swear all the time, i shitpost constantly, im incessantly tmi? and that’s not even it like it’s just a whole mess!

SO there’s that whole set of problems and like im just concerned because... i stopped posting art online last yr for the most part and a lot of the old stuff that’s on dA (since that was rly where i did it most) is bad and not worth sharing like that anyways, so im not as worried abt that. but my poetry.... i still actively post that online in all my messiness and candidness here and like. it’s rly not that hard to find me? like if u copy a poem of mine and put it in google it’ll pull up my dA right away! and that’s like.... GOD i just am embarrassed for anyone irl to see that or for that to be connected with my irl / professional self in the future, but i don’t want to stop posting my work there (or here!!!!!) bc the community is so supportive and ive made some rly good connections / built a lot of traction over the 5 yrs ive been doing it. (PLUS for the online portfolio i wanna do specifically... i kinda want to post all of my art and poetry there, like everything ive ever done (specifically poetry, ive written almost 500 poems over the 5 yrs ive been doing it!), but i feel like that’s not rly the most professional thing to do and idk how to even gauge whether it is or not :-/)

but that’s not all!!!! because there’s another part to this and that is: the very nature of the content i produce is Not Good! for my art it’s not as much of a problem bc since I work as an artist rn a lot of what i make is professional, but for my personal art... a lot of that is either self portraits or my characters and a lot of my characters are like. animals. like specifically pepe (who is basically Me As A Cat).... i draw her constantly and so much of my best work is of her but it’s just like? embarrassing i guess for my ocs to take up so much of my portfolio and sketchbooks and stuff and share that. like i know everyone has characters and it’s not bad to do that and share that but i feel like ppl will judge me :-( so it’s made me rly hesitant to post stuff to my art ig for example bc i just don’t fucking know how to act, like it’s bad enough that i can’t type the way i want to and i have to type in proper caps n whatever instead bc irls i don’t know / trust as well follow me (including some ppl from work? Yikes?)....... but i feel like i can’t share my sketchbook stuff for example bc it’s all cats and my characters and visual shitposts and im uncomfy to share that bc like... im almost 20 and i don’t want ppl to think im immature or whatever? i kno i should feel like it’s my account and i can post wot i want but like. i fucking can’t bro i just can’t!!

and THEN.... my poetry. that’s the biggie bc like for my art? even tho im uncomfortable i don’t mind sharing that w ppl i know irl but for my POETRY.... it’s very easy to find like where i share that i guess? (the google thing i mentioned earlier but also its linked to my art on here and dA too... f) but i literally never actively share my writing w irl ppl unless im performing @ an open mic or workshopping in class bc im fucking terrified of the possibility of irl ppl finding my poetry. it’s almost ironic how public ive been w it online but how private i am abt it irl... it’s like im living a double life and it’s fucking terrible but it’s the only way i feel safe. bc like art is what i do for other ppl and also to destress and vent when i need a quick fix on my own time. but poetry.... that’s personal, it’s where i feel most like myself, it’s how i talk abt my life and ppl in it and make meaning of things and talk abt things authentically and Get Deep. and my literal worst nightmare is for ppl (who have the explicit ability to by virtue of Knowing Me) to read into it and Understand what im talking abt and have that power over me and see me differently for feeling the way i do or doing what i do. ive actually already been burned by this before after my mom read some work of mine that had been published irl (i don’t want to get too into it but basically i retroactively outed myself thru her reading that poem for what it was and it was Very Very Bad) and as paranoid abt it as i was before, it’s even worse now that it’s actually happened to me and could happen again at any time, esp if i decide to take my work further.

that manifests in a few ways too, like my writing is so cryptic and vague and very heavy on metaphors / symbolism and shit partially out of that deep fear and need to shield myself and my work. sometimes in spaces where i do feel comfy sharing, ppl have a hard time understanding my poetry unless i give context. online and on stage and in workshop ppl don’t rly know me outside of a context where the only thing we have in common is self expression thru poetry, so i don’t rly mind sharing more when it’s appropriate. but if i were to share my work as a book or w/e, ppl im close to (who maybe don’t always think like a poet / artist does bc they aren’t that) would want to buy it and read it and might ask abt what it means and i don’t even know what i would do in that situation. and if ppl were to read my work and see themselves / others in it, whether it is abt them or not, im scared it could genuinely damage relationships like it did with my mom.

SO UH.... idk where im going w this rly, i kno it’s long and rambly and melodramatic and im probably overthinking it and making a mountain out of a molehill and nobody even knows / cares abt me AND my work @ the same time enough to read That Deep into it. but it just fucking sucks that im so uncomfortable and insecure that i can’t comfortably fulfill literally the one single long term goal / life dream that i have. andthe thing that sucks is i can’t talk to Anybody abt this except like... my sister and brother bc they’re the only ppl i genuinely tell everything to, but they don’t have the knowledge and expertise abt art / poetry that like... my poetry prof does, for example. and my poetry prof is one of the best ppl ive ever met and the Only person ive ever met irl who respects and understands my poetry in the exact way i need someone to. she and i have been talking and she rly wants to help me publish my poetry bc she sees merit in my work and knows how bad i want to / how successful it’s been already, but i don’t know how to talk abt this to her bc im embarrassed to tell her abt posting online and being ashamed abt my muses and all that and it just!!! sucks so much bc i kinda want to publish my work @ least once before i graduate and do it semi regularly for the rest of my life? but there’s so much in my way and it’s just! FGGFHDGJGGGG

yo you totally made me think about low empathy michael and it like totally makes sense and i think about it a lot when i listen to two player game bc ye like he OBVIOUSLY cares a lot about jeremy and he loves him and like jeremy's stating his problem and michael keeps saying the same solution cause like "that's the answer bro, don't be down" bc he cant wrap his head around the emotions and connect w them that well so in his mind he's just saying this completely fool proof solution i love this hc

yo i got this ask while balls deep in three books of discourse analysis i could only understand by like 10% but because of that was in the mood to just. keep thinking my brain in circles.

so heres a stupidly long answer cataloging canon instances of michael being low empathy af/exhibiting other traits related to this. along with like, characterization to extrapolate from that (at least by my own personal interpretation. obligatory disclaimer that how i see characters is not law, this is just My Take). 

but before that, im gonna define some terms outright so we’re all on the same page. empathy is a person’s capability to understand and feel what others are feeling. basically how well you can put yourself in somebody else’s shoes. this shouldnt be confused with sympathy, which is feeling compassion, pity, sorrow etc. for another. empathy is recognition/replication while sympathy is more on the caring about it. here i focus on empathy and the lack of it. 

im not an expert on Anything but speaking from experience as somebody who has very low empathy, this causes some complications. when you dont feel what others are feeling, sometimes you dont notice other people’s feelings at all. this results in stuff like bluntness, trouble reading social cues, insensitivity, etc. all things that 1) may happen unintentionally, 2) can be worked through via healthy communication, 3) are not inherently bad, just a result of how one reacts to external emotions and 4) things i totally think michael exhibits because hes a low empathy goblin i love with my whole heart. 

let’s get right into it. in more than survive, right after jeremy and michael discover their boyf riend backpacks, this exchange occurs

this seems pretty normal at first glance but it is the first instance of what seems to be michael’s go-to pattern for when he notices his best friend is feeling down, which, at least, kudos to michael, he very obviously noticed jeremy’s feelings. hurrah! so his process for how to fix this goes a little like “step 1: notice jeremy is upset. step 2: cheer jeremy up! step 3: unknowingly kinda mess up step 2“

jeremy is upset about the backpacks but then jeremy provides an out with something supposedly positive. michael latches on to it. it turns out to be negative. michael tries to salvage the situation by cheering jeremy up! by giving him a cool science fact! hell yeah! except it’s a shaky save at best because he does call the both of them losers but in an “it’s okay :D” way. 

all in all this is nothing really, just some friendly fast paced banter between best friends. whats important here is the 3 step pattern aforementioned because it 1) shows that michael Cares about his best friend and tries to make things better and 2) is BASICALLY the entirety of two player game

TWO PLAYER GAME is such a BOP and, at its core, is a song about how michael has got jeremy’s back and vice versa. but tpg is also textbook the 3 step pattern with added sprinkle of unintended invalidation. ive briefly spoken about tpg before so this might look a lil familiar but at its gist:

like you said anon, in tpg jeremy tells michael a problem he has, and throughout the course of the song, he continually makes it known that hes upset and has a lot of issues. step 1 has been achieved: michael knows jeremy is not doing too hot. time to do step 2: cheer him up!! and what better way to do that than to think positive with his trademark line “guys like us are cool in college” like, over and over again. because….it makes sense for michael. things might suck now, but just keep swimming yeah? it’ll be better later.

but it’s not better now and thats what jeremy actually needed validation on. michael thinks the solution is to look to the future but jeremy has his problems bothering him in the present. for all that michael says this is a two player game, he’s unintentionally dismissive because he doesnt understand that this isnt something that can be fixed with a simple “look forward to two years from now” mentality. neither of them are in the wrong, really. theyre just not on the same page.

onwards we go to something else entirely. the chili fries

this is a RIDICULOUSLY SMALL MOMENT but it stuck out to me because imo it is pretty obvious that jeremy says “leave me alone” because hes bummed and is being dramatic, but michael takes it literally and uses the opportunity to skedaddle and get his sweet sweet discontinued soda. im aware michael had to be gone for plot reasons and also the discontinued soda is foreshadowing for the mtn dew red, but taken at face value, this is something that happens a lot w/ low empathy: things are taken literally. 

jeremy is upset. jeremy said to give him some space. thats cool, i’ll go for a bit and come back with something neat that might cheer him up—hey, where’d he go?

and now let’s jump to something everybody and their dog knows about. michael in the bathroom. except not really. because mitb isnt what interests me so much as what happens before.

pre mitb is very, very interesting. before i say anything i’ll be clear in saying that literally nobody had even remotely a nice halloween night, it’s a disaster for everybody involved, but keep in mind that jeremy goes into the pre mitb scene immediately after the clusterfuck that is do you wanna hang and also getting chased down by a sloshed but aggressive jake. many people have said this before me but i’ll say it again: jeremy was not doing well. at all. 

and this is where michael fails step 1 of his pattern. he doesnt pick up on this at all. michael is kinda stuck in his own head right now. hes pissed. hes confused. hes betrayed. he cant understand other people’s feelings and now he has to deal with his own too. his head is a melting pot of AGH and he takes it out on jeremy. yeah, he tries to help jeremy, but he doesnt do it very well. it’s all very accusatory, and jeremy just had a terrible night, so jeremy lashes out.

teenagers are bad at emotions but theyre not bad people for it.  //cue mitb notes, we know the drill

to the play!!! 

recap for maximum contextualization: jeremy realizes the squip is bad fucking news and wants it gone. michael makes an entrance with the one thing that can kill it. and then this happens

AIGHT okay so the whole “i need an apology” scene is obviously played for comedy, and it does a good job at suddenly diffusing the end of the world stakes with some more down to earth teen friend drama but that aside, this scene is a good candidate to be listed under the definition of the phrase “bad timing” because michael, holy shit. BAD TIMING. like great timing for humor but bad timing as a human being. 

here we have jeremy clearly in possessed distress and michael has the antidote but he only wants to give it on a condition. it is absolutely a dick move. yeah, michael is is valid for wanting an apology, but not at this moment with the current stakes. this is michael thinking pretty selfishly. hes stuck in his own head and his own thoughts. he cares about jeremy and wants to help but…this apology important to him. it’s easy to get stuck on things like this when you cant empathize with others. the low empathy means that the only feelings you really get to really interact with are your own, so theres a tendency to focus on them. sometimes even at inopportune moments.

unintentional asshole-ery behold. in fact, this can be pushed even harder by this snippet in the score of be more chill that had some lines from an earlier draft. 

the fetus version of michael makes an entrance is hilariously low empathy, oh my god. this happens while jeremy is rolling around on the floor fighting an invisible-to-everybody-else squip and this is the first thing michael says. it’s positively dickish. 

SO with that done, a little bit can be extrapolated in terms of characterization. i think michael is low empathy so the dominos fall. michael is terrible at feelings. hes got a tendency to get stuck in his own head and not see what others are going through. his emotional periphery is abysmal, hes like a horse with those things that stop horses from looking to the side. in spite of all this, he still has a lot of love and good in his heart and he tries his best to show that in the ways that make sense to him. post-canon, the rift between his brain and jeremy’s brain can only be bridged by a big healthy heap of communication where michael learns that what makes sense to him isnt always what makes sense to other people. hes a good kid. he can do it. 

of course this is, again, all my take. the fun thing about transformative work and fandom is that all interpretations are valid and there will always be somebody out there who agrees. or disagrees. but on this blog, this is my michael. or at least one aspect of my michael. //shrug

ANYWAY im glad you like the hc anon!! ive obviously got a lot of feelings about it since i used your ask as an excuse to aimlessly ramble for, holy shit, 1.6 k words lmao. i hope you have a good day!!!

[ncomiis]

whaddup whaddup everyone ! i’m kat (99% sure all of you know that) and i’m so so so excited to get things started tbh ? like i’m just so ready to get spooky with all of you ! anyways i’m 8teen ( finna catch this 9teen in a month), in the cst tz and y’all can hmu with the she/her pronouns ! so yes this is my annoying lil brat NAOMI CASTILLO and under the read more you can find some nice information for her, aight ? aight.

“and sometimes, when i did a really good job of pretending, i even fooled myself. ”

so basically naomi is the little kid that always asks ‘you got games on your phone?’ she’s very persistent and won’t shut up until she gets whatever it is that she wants.

once you get that pass the whole annoying persona— she’s actually a pretty cool girl. she’s nice, outgoing, isn’t afraid to speak her mind (kay that depends on the situation but most of the time; she’s p verbal with her opinions. despite how bad/good they are. and if they’re asked for.)

her horror movie trope is the scream queen so i promise once things start to go downhill, naomi will scream her lungs out every three seconds. if i could compare her to any horror movie character, it’d be nancy thompson from nightmare on elm street or emma duval from scream the tv series. just because they were both so.. you know… annoying lmao.

there is never a dull moment with naomi. she always has something to talk about. the topics can range from anything horror related to different types of foods. she always has something to say about anything.

naomi gets invested quickly. she wears her heart on her sleeve and she always tries her best to be there for whoever it is she’s trying to befriend or anything. despite her abandonment issues (which i’ll get to in a min) naomi is very naive when it comes to who she can trust. if a guy even looks at her some type of way— she’s convinced she’s in love and that he’s the one. she assumes everyone likes her (unless told otherwise but even then she doesn’t think it’s true) and i guess that’s really self destructive because not everyone can like you.

when naomi was ten, her father walked out on her mother, her brother and her to travel the world. strike one. when naomi was fourteen, her mother died in a car accident. strike two. when naomi was sixteen, her brother ran away and she hasn’t talked to him since. strike three. yeah naomi has pretty much been abandoned by everyone who she’s ever loved.

the reason why naomi falls too quick and too fast is because she’s afraid that if she doesn’t, x person will end up leaving her once they realize she has nothing to offer.

you can read her bio here and her stats are here.

“i hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”

⌜  i. ⌟ naomi cannot cook for the life of her which usually leads to micah cooking dinner or her ordering takeout.

⌜  ii. ⌟ she gets distracted easily. one second she’s talking about a certain thing and the next she’s changed the subject to something completely different.

⌜  iii. ⌟ after her mother’s death, naomi began to become more invested in her mexican culture. she’s fluent in spanish and very religious. so catch her praying for the group once they start doing some dumb shit.

⌜  iv. ⌟ she has a pet cat and she’s made it her duty to make sure that her puppy georgie gets along with luna (her cat). most of the time though it just leads to her place being a mess and each animal on either side of the apartment giving each other the evil eye.

⌜  v. ⌟ her youtube channel is just her getting in front of a camera and rambling for about four minutes. she usually talks about controversial topics and is vlogging.

⌜  vi. ⌟ she carries a camera with her everywhere. she likes showing everyone what’s going on, which is why being one of the tech geeks is the perfect job for her. naomi is always filming and/or taking pictures of everyone.

⌜  vii. ⌟ her major is journalism but her minor is history. she loves learning about all time periods— specifically the medieval ages and back.

⌜  viii. ⌟ she loves everyone in the group— despite any differences she may have with any of them. they’re like a family to her and she’d do anything to protect them. they were there for her when she was going through a tough time (even though they may not know it) so naomi cherishes every second she spends with them.

⌜  ix. ⌟ naomi loves anything chocolate related. that’s pretty much the way to her heart. just give her some chocolate and she’ll do whatever you say.

⌜  x. ⌟ she’s a big horror movie fan! like she knows her basics and how things go in the movies.

⌜  xi. ⌟ so uh ya i was saving this for last bc it’s.... a lot. anyways you all know she has twins (ava and noah who i forget their names like all the time) and..... this is so funny but she got pregnant while they were in marblemount/silverwood. who is the baby daddy you may ask? the one.... the only..... lana’s dad ! yeah wild naomi got knocked up by lana’s dad and she didn’t even know he was a serial killer and she still doesn’t know that it’s lana’s dad. all the drama that will happen.... i nut. no one knows about this except the ogs minus crisitan (bc homeboy dipped) but yes.... :~)

wow this was lowkey long but that’s pretty much naomi ! so if anyone wants to plot (sike we’re all gonna plot) just like this or send me an im !

[haunt-me-x3]

Yknow, ive never had like a time where i tried to kill myself that was anything more than "im gonna do this rly stupid reckless thing and if i die thats cool" and then waking up yhe next day like "oh, well i guess im still alive, aight whatever" Theres never been like a big Moment of me trying to kill myself like other people have, like a solid Attempt(tm) But its more of me just not caring whether i live or die? Crossing busy streets without looking or waiting when i was in new york, taking a bunch of random medication, drinking too much, etc I was hospitalized but not for an attempt, i was hospitalized because i was afraid id make an actual attempt Honestly i think i was more afraid for my life when i was at my lowest point than i am normally Idk where i was going w this but anyway a year ago right now i was sitting in an adolescent unit in shippensburg, pa, waiting to find out when they were discharging me Ive come a long way since then??? But im still kinda apathetic about living except for when i have panic attacks and i feel like im dying I think when im faced with a real or perceived chance of actually dying is when i care at all Idk Im rambling I feel weird that its been a whole year
