Create this one shot Au where Jimmy befriended a weird kid named Timmy.. As they grew closer, he learned that Timmy was abused by his babysitter daily and ignored by his parents.. Jimmy doesn't want to see his friend hurt, so he tries to take this matter into his own hands..

He did succeed, driven away the babysitter by putting her out of commission indefinitely (ruined her reputation & almost killed her too). Timmy's parents decided not to go anywhere n started to care bout Timmy more.. But that's not what Timmy wants...

If his abusive babysitter isn't there anymore to torment him and his parents started to care, Tim will lose his fairies because he's not miserable enough.. Tim doesn't mind to suffer the abuses just to have his fairies.. Having his fairies taken away will cause him to lose his memories and undo one important wish he have made.

A year ago, Tim & Jim did a science project together and create a drivable rocket ship out of junks just so they could have an adventure..

When they set off, it was going well for the most part until Jim started to lost control of their ship as it beginning to fall apart.. Jim managed to eject Tim but he wasn't fast enough to save himself and he died instantly as the ship exploded..

Tim doesn't even have enough time to wish them back to safely .. he's survived thankfully, because of Jim's quick thinking .. but he also lost a person he considered as best friend.

He tried to revive Jim back using his wishes but it was impossible as the fairies magic cant bring back a deceased person.. so he wished that Jim is 'alive' in his mind. That's the important wish he made to 'keep' Jim alive.

Jim doesn't realized that he's dead. For a year, he existed in Tim's mind, playing and talking to Tim as like nothing is happened. Jim do have his suspicion, but Tim always divert his attention and change the subject every time Jim asked him about it. Jim put his suspicion at the back of his head since Tim is so adamant for not telling Jim about it.

Eventually, the jig is up when Tim's life is getting better.. all thanks to Jimmy.. he really cares/loves Tim and doesn't want Tim get to get hurt from the constant abused.. His desire to make Tim have a better/happy life has transcended beyond Tim's mind and he is able to take over Tim's body and drive his babysitter away by trigger her allergy. It almost killed her and it render her unable to babysit for quite some time, in the same time Jim also ruined her reputation so no one would hire her anymore.

As Tim's life not so miserable anymore, he will lose his fairies soon. Jim doesn't understand why Tim doesn't feel happy and wants to continue to suffer. Tim eventually told Jim the truth, that Jim died a year ago, he made the most selfish wish, and if he doesn't have his fairies anymore, the wish will come undone, he will lose Jimmy again, not only the Jimmy in his mind but all the memories he spent time with him when he's alive too.

Jim was shocked when Tim's confessed it to him. He couldn't bring himself to hate Tim for keeping this secret for so long. Instead Jim felt at peace knowing Tim was safe and sound after their last tragic adventure. At the end, Jim told Tim to let go of him but Tim refuses.

After a lot of comfort from Jim, Tim finally let him go. Thus, Tim will loses his fairies, his selfish wish and his memories with Jim.

On the bright side, Timmy now have a better life, he's not getting abused daily and his parents started to care his well being but he lost the memories of his best friend, Jimmy.

once again being reminded of how weird being a taylor swift fan on this website is because the people who claim to hate her just clearly do not listen to her. I saw someone say "does taylor swift even know she's been turned into a brand and stripped of her humanity? is she aware of the fact she lives in a gilded cage where she can't be imperfect?" like my sibling in christ that's what her past two albums have been about about. what exactly did you guys think anti-hero was?

“It is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially” (Tartt, 31).

I am absolutely fascinated by the fame and reverence this quote from the Secret History has achieved. It terrifies me. Let me explain.

Who’s line is this? Oh, yes. Professor Julian Morrow. Julian, in his lecture on how death begets beauty, on how Dionysian madness lends immortality. Julian, who isolates the greek class, buries them in the glories of the past and in their privilege, and submerges them beneath illusions until his students can’t tell right from wrong and real from imagined.

These words are satire. This is NOT a lesson any teacher should impart, and should NOT be beloved and relatable. In one sentence, Donna Tartt summarizes the entire cautionary tale of the novel: the selective, warped, and obsessive view on life the greek class held, born from entitlement and cultivated by Julian, led the students to tear themselves to pieces.

What’s more, the way people quote it all the time makes this line all the more haunting. Widespread parroting of Julian’s teachings only reinforces Donna’s themes: human minds are easily manipulatable, it can be hard to think critically about what you are taught and what you read, and that the easy, self-assured conviction belonging to the reader that, “I, personally, would have behaved differently than Henry, Richard, Francis, Camilla, Charles, and Bunny” is nothing but another illusion.

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

Since we're on dorms mood, how about either the Losers dorm(Kohaku and Jun) or the Princess dorm (Kanata, Rinne and Hiyori) ?

LOSERS DORM KJDHFJKASDFHKHD i didn't know they were called that that's so funny

Joke's on you though they're both silly and I love them

They'd have spa nights methinks

Jun said he'd teach Kohaku how to play Genshin (because it's a new gacha Tsukasa got into and he'd rather eat his foot than ask Bou.) after he finishes this game of Tetris-- Kohaku pleASE keep an eye on your food--

The general meaning of The Moon Tarot card in an upright position is that everything is not as it seems. It is also the Major Arcana Tarot card of intuition. The Moons tells you that something about a situation or person in your life is not what it appears to be and you need to trust what your instincts are telling you in order to see past this illusion... ...In a general context The Moon Tarot card reversed can signify releasing fears or negative energy clearing. It can also indicate secrets or lies being exposed...If you have been awaiting a decision on something, The Moon reversed indicates that you will get an answer or clarity on the matter.

based on @theicarusconstellation's writing

I keep thinking of details I left out and stuff I need to fix but if I let myself do that I'm going to go insane so we're leaving it at this

Also some Sirius because they're a fucking king and we love them (I very strongly hc them as genderqueer and using any pronouns, but specifically he/they/she/it)

The dress was a bit of a failure but hey it looks like fabric at least I think maybe

Imagine reading a new manga and joking about it being homoerotic and then it gets explicitly stated that one of the protags is gay

If I don't see any weird romance blossom between those two istg-

Me, logging onto ReverbNation and seeing this: "Uh-huh. Sure. I know how these music-promotion websites work. I somehow doubt this is as impressive as it sounds..."

I click "View My Chart Rank" and see...

...so I'm the top of the charts for the "Americana" genre, in Berlin. A genre-and-location combo in which there are apparently only two artists competing. What did I tell you?

VOLITION snorts in the back of his throat, slowly sitting up and stretching out his limbs, joints clinking pleasantly, sounding like a teacup getting stirred – Mmn, you’re atrocious. 

ELECTROCHEMISTRY stares at him, gleefully after he laughed at his joke, and then admiringly, watching how his muscles flex beneath his skin. The lavender plates of armor shift along their fault lines – You love me for it, though. I’m charming as hell.

VOLITION pauses in the middle of a stretch. You love me for it... the words carry a weight for him that apparently isn’t as heavy to the physique skill. Did he feel...? No. A thought for another time. He pushes it aside, pins it for later, smoothly finishes stretching with an innocuous hum – Charming might be pushing it.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY laughs, sprawling out like a lazy cat and batting the conversation aside with little regard for the consequences – Aw, spoilsport.

I originally read A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows back in August of 2022 and have just finished rereading it two years later because I realized the sequel is out and I'm absolutely delighted that AS&SE is just as good as I remember it but I'm starting the second book (All The Hidden Paths) and from the prologue and book blurb alone it seems like it's a sequel that's romance plot is purely about the newly married couple not getting along/trying to be driven apart

And while I'm really really hoping I'm wrong, I'm TERRIFIED that this book is going to have one of the miscommunication tropes I absolutely cannot get over because miscommunication is only worth reading when it's done right, which is very hard to pull off

Like in Winter's Orbit, Everina Maxwell does a very good job of explaining why Kiem and Jainan don't talk about their feelings to one another, it's very in character for them to not explain their attraction to one another and it makes sense from a character perspective

Scum Villain does a very good job of explaining this miscommunication as well, Shen Qingqiu is absolutely horrible at talking about his feelings and Luo Binghe's words and actions are being interpreted with a clear bias and it does not help he's being mentally influenced by an evil sword

Hell, even in A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, it's easy to tell why Cae and Vel aren't talking to each other about their feelings (Cae because he doesn't want to overwhelm Vel, and Vel because he's recovering from the trauma that Kellic has inflicted upon him)

There are other books that I know I've read that I can't think of off the top of my head that handle miscommunication beautifully, because it's so very in character that if you do find yourself screaming at the characters to just talk to each other, it's quickly followed by a rational voice explaining why it's highly unlikely that these two characters actually will

The start of All The Hidden Paths however (and mind you, I'm only 26 pages in, just barely having started the second chapter) reads very much as conflict for the sake of conflict within the relationship and it's grating at my skin

Immediately from the prologue, we're introduced to this new guy, Asrien, who's whole purpose thusfar is to break up Cae and Vel, which... Leaves a sour taste in my mouth? Vel in the first book is EXTREMELY observant, he's very good at reading people, he's very intelligent and very good at overcoming his initial conclusions if he's quick to jump to them

Cae is much more focused on battle strategies and fighting, but he's also not stupid, and throughout the entire first book they've built up a huge amount of trust after everything they've been through together, and I really, seriously feel that if this Asrien guy at all succeeds in driving a wedge between them, it would be undoing an entire book's worth of building a relationship, because I don't see a way it can be done in a way that makes sense with the previous characterizations of the two

I really sincerely hope I'm wrong, and that this is just the set up, and I will be pleasantly surprised when Cae and Vel see through all the attempts to break them apart and become all the more united for it, and I understand that oftentimes in new relationships once you've gotten past the honeymoon phase things start to get more difficult, but I feel as though it's going to end up with me not liking how this goes in terms of miscommunication and I'm just aksofkdkdksk needed to vent about it
