*grabbing Jonas Spahr by the shoulders* Sir you are THIRTY. Yes you fucked up the Arca and allowed some pretty terrible things to happen, but the threat made against you wasn't just the loss of your wealth but the loss of the only life you've ever known and the single pillar holding up your entire identity as a person. Because you've been in this job a long time (it's been confirmed he was appointed when Costigan was fired), and, allow me to reiterate, you're THIRTY

The way that the Akuma no Riddle anime never explicitly talks about being gay but only works because it's gay... If Tokaku were a boy then it would be so much easier for her to be like "okay, I'm protecting Haru because I'm in love with her" and to accept that, or Haru would face her feelings more and suggest the idea that they're in love. But because they are both girls, it's not considered a given that they would be in love. Many gay people have these doubts in the back of their mind, especially when they've only recently started realizing they're gay-- "Am I really attracted to this person, or is it just [insert deflection of choice]?"
And Tokaku is forced to think, "Do I really care about her, or has she just been using psychological powers to manipulate me this whole time? Why do I feel so strongly about this girl?" And attraction or love don't appear to be a satisfying enough reason or excuse. And of course it wouldn't! They're both girls! 😱

we can do difficult things wednesday! (quest)
- hoover
- comment on a local planning application. i have been putting this off for A While due to never having done this before so i'm applying my trick 'rough estimate for how long it would take and COMMIT', so worst case scenario i will spend 20 minutes attempting this and will fail. most likely scenario is that once i've started i'll just figure it out and finish it but it'll take longer than that time chunk, but the hardest thing is starting! so giving myself an out by setting it as a '20 minute attempt' means i think i can start it 👍
- groceries list/order
- write card (:

how does hughes feel about eds insecurities?
They break his heart a bit. Hughes' relationship with Ed toes the line between "weird pseudo-boyfriend" and "weird pseudo-dad", and the dad part can't help but get frustrated with whatever Ed's upbringing was that's got him hating how he looks so much.

Hello! How is the Bug tournament art doing? Im guessing you were busy with artfight last month?
I would also like to add that I, too, think that bugs are cool.
We were, indeed, busy with Art Fight last month! We finished... 39 characters in total, 37 of which were fully painted, so we're taking a brief rest from that getting back to Bug OC painting again. Our current plot is to finish the comic we made for Pola which has been sitting on the backburner for something like a month and a half now, and then get back to work on Maria's piece, which we've already finished the design for and only need to paint.
After that... well, we planned to take a hack at sequential art for the Round 3 and Round 4 matches, since they only have two characters per, but that might depend on our stamina at the time - summer is never particularly kind to us, and while the momentum of this tournament is EXCELLENT for motivating us to keep doing art despite it, August... really takes its toll. You can probably see us puttering out around here last year, too. We don't handle heat well, unfortunately, so this time of year almost always has us a bit sluggish, and it takes some effort to stay on track after a few days of high heat do their damndest to cook our brain like an egg.
We've been working on building our ability to keep our brain on track for a while - this WILL get done, if nothing else - but it might be a little bit.

choked up in my room rn bc i was sat in the car with my mum completely lost in thought and she out of nowhere went 'are you okay?' and i was like 'yeah? why?' bc i was totally fine i was literally just thinking and she let it go and then five entire minutes later she goes 'are you sure? have i done something?' and she sounded so genuinely anxious and i could tell she'd been thinking about it the entire 5 minutes while id been completely oblivious and i spent so many years as a child letting everything bottle up until it all burst out in a messy and ugly breakdown that took her down with me and despite that she never hated me she only ever blamed herself for not seeing the signs and she's never been able to see my signs because i keep everything to myself and it terrifies her that she might miss something and she handles things poorly when she's scared and she gets too angry but fundamentally she's trying her absolute hardest to be a good mother and it wasn't always enough and i know i have to hold her at least partially accountable but also she's my mum and im her daughter and she always just wants to know if im okay and most of the time im not and somehow that feels like ive betrayed her
