WHY DID I CRY. DAWNBREAKER POSE AT THIS ANGLE BROKE MY HEART 😭😭

The following is what happens when I think of something while falling asleep and then have to write it down.

Terry Jr. felt like shit. His muscles and bones ached as he glanced at the man standing above him. Willy. Fuck him.

How he'd gotten the drop on them, he still wasn't quite sure. How is it that they still underestimated this man? That didn't matter now. Terry surveyed the room, his friends also on the ground, scattered detritus from the fight littered around them.

This man. This fucking asshole. Had nearly killed his stepfather. Kidnapped him and his friends. Gave the Lark the reason to unleash the Doodler. And now he'd done something to Scary. For probably the first time, he looked Willy in the eye, squashed his childhood fears, and screamed, "What the hell did you do to Scary?" The last he'd seen her was on some security camera footage at DADDIES, walking out with Willy and some items.

"Do to her? I don't know what you mean."

"There's no way she just left with you willingly!"

"Well, I'm afraid that's exactly what your stepdaughter did. She and I have been friends for months. It's not my fault that you're so inept at being a father that she decided to look for validation elsewhere."

Terry Jr. looked down at the floor. Maybe he was right... Maybe... No! This was fucking Willy. Of course he wasn't right.

"You're just manipulating her. You just want to use her!"

"As if you don't? You know how powerful those kids are becoming. You've asked them to help. I'm not doing anything different than you lot," he barked, looking around at all of them. "You know what the difference is? I made her feel powerful. I made her feel in control. And it's working."

Grant started to get up and Willy blasted another spell at all of them, ensuring that they'd stay down. "And now you'll get to help me too," he said with a shit-eating grin. Willy pulled out some collars with runes etched on them, and one by one placed them on everyone.

As soon as the collar hit his neck, the dread set in. The truth of what he now felt compelled to do. Let's hope the kids were growing as powerful as Willy thought. Because now that threw a whole new wrench in the works.

Willy pulled Terry right to his feet and shoved him out the door. " Now get out there and take care of those kids, he said. Terry missed Willy's next words as he stumbled out into The City, "Scary's gonna find out what happens when she lies to me."

Kiserlet made three single-digit rolls in a row on the Wis save to not eat the astral tadpole, so posting what she used to look like in memory now that she's all creepy black eyed and purple vein-y. 😢

@music-for-them-asses Look what you made me do.

[There are a couple layers of poking fun here, about universal human and artistic experiences, but it's just for lighthearted giggles. My wish for he and I both would be to know and believe that it wasn't all bad.]

gilbert baker designed his flag with the express purpose of it including every single queer person. baker was so dedicated to making sure his flag was inclusive that he added another stripe in 2017, lavender, to represent diversity. the concept that it’s for white gay men came around later and needs to be changed.

can we please go back to associating the original flag, and ideally the modern rainbow flag, with inherent inclusion of every single queer person? instead of deciding that the original wasn’t good enough? personalized flags are important for representing those who have typically been excluded from the queer community, but reclaiming the original flag as a symbol of inclusion is important too.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

I always found the scene where Edwin notices that Esther's cupboard is too far forward really convenient.

Because sure, some people that work in certain jobs will learn to identify if something feels off. But like, how often is Edwin installing kitchens? Why would he have that skill? But I always just brushed it off as needing to progress the scene.

Except today I realised that of course he does! Of course he knows when something isn’t proportionate to plans. Of course he has the experience and skill to know that.

He developed it while mapping out Hell.

Liam was a boy, and then a man, who suffered so much trauma and pain. He was bullied as a child and then lived a nightmare that I think none of us can really imagine of having that triggering experience replicated on a literally global public scale. He became a man who inflicted trauma on others. He was an addict who was unable to find a way out of that disease, and now never will, but who was open and vulnerable about his struggles. He was an incredibly talented musician and artist and an absolutely integral part of one of the most important bands of a generation; his voice and songwriting and skill in the studio shaped every aspect of what One Direction became at their best. He loved that band and being a part of that experience with his whole being and would never have stopped celebrating what they meant to us and to the world. He had problems and did bad things; that doesn't mean he was a bad person who didn't deserve to be loved and helped to heal- everyone deserves that- and the fact that that's not something that can ever happen now is devastating. I was very distressed by many of his actions; and I cared deeply about this man I didn't know and wished for better for him than this outcome.

I'm so deeply, deeply SAD tonight. I'm sad for Liam, who will never now have the chance to look back on this hard time and reflect on how far he's come, and for Liam's family, for his parents and his sisters who loved and supported him so much, and for everyone in the 1D band family and circles. And I'm sad for us. It feels like nothing will ever be quite the same, and that's hard and sad and shocking. It's a special kind of doubled grief, to mourn the loss of the person, and also of what he meant to us in this strange world of parasocial fanning, for the real him and also for the version of him that we made up and attached so much meaning to and for the escape that brought us. For him, and also for the easy uncomplicated joy of listening to those beautiful songs from happier times, which might never feel the same again. For the other boys, who we love so much and wish we could shield from suffering and loss and pain. For our fellow fans, who we also worry about the impact of this on. Everything about this is terrible, and I am sending so much love out to all of you. We are not alone, and it's okay to feel complicated emotions and it's okay to mourn and it's okay to care about how it effects you and your life, whatever you're feeling- it's okay. We are here with you. We are 1D family.
