Therapy Humans

After being in a war for millions of years transformers gotta be really fucked up. So I imagine with humans being nice and soft and having therapists that we'll be therapy dog humans.

this isn’t even about my evil agenda anymore I actually just need to hear your dissertation on voltron/klance x first love late spring

you do evil things to my dick and balls. i hope you know that.

first love / late spring is a very keith-core song, but i think it also applies to both keith and lance... but more specifically, FL/LS is keith pre-relationship, and then FL/LS is lance once they have already started dating.

i'm obsessed with that one interview of mitski where she explained that she wrote this song while she was experiencing her vulnerable first love... and first love is vulnerable. you simultaneously reap the rewards of being known but at the same time, you've now let someone else know you, and now you have to trust them to take care of you. and it's so vulnerable. it's more naked than being naked. and it's so difficult as well because now you're learning a brand new way you can be hurt.

so keith, pre-relationship... he's pining for lance and he is MISERABLE. he's lost control! he feels like he's being consumed by the enormity of his feelings. he's eight years old and small and never asked for this, he never wanted to know he could feel this way. he just wants lance to fucking go already. keith wants to spit vitriol and blame and shame and drive lance away so that when lance leaves him (and he will leave him, like everyone else has), then at least it will be on keith's own terms for once. and keith doesn't, he refuses, to say how he feels. he'll spitefully choke on his confession until it suffocates him. he doesn't want to know what lance might say.

but he also is afraid of lance's reaction because... if lance gives him even a sliver of ground, if there's even a promise of a chance -- keith will fold instantly. he will jump into this love headfirst. he'll do anything if it will make lance stay with him.

and then lance, mid-established relationship... things with keith are perfect, everything is going great, so why does lance feel so anxious all the time? why does he feel so scared when keith looks at him like he's his whole world? maybe the problem is lance. because what they have is real. because he's pretty sure keith is it for him. and that terrifies lance. because lance, deep down, knows he's going to screw this up. and it's not just his heart on the line; he's also going to hurt keith.

keith smiles at him and lance feels sick to his stomach. he wants to tell keith that they might be happy right now, but eventually, lance is going to ruin this. he wants to warn keith that lance is going to break his heart one day.

lance isn't always so negative about himself. during the day, it's easy to let himself be buoyed and enveloped by his feelings for keith. he loves being in love with keith. because the love is real. it's real, and it's there, and that matters. but at night, all those poisonous insecurities and anxieties rear their ugly head, and lance finds himself standing on a ledge over a drop. lance daydreams about spending the rest of his life with keith; lance has never felt so young and small.

Devastating news: my brother is a normal person. It doesn't run in the family, I'm just a weird freak for no reason

a lot of people seem to use Entry #61 as 'proof' for the crux of the "Brian didn't care about Tim, he was Taking Advantage of Tim's conditions and Forcing him to work as part of totheark" thing, but honestly when you think about it there's no possible way Brian could have possibly orchestrated that series of events, like you almost have to interpret that as a baffling group of coincidences

My granddad died today, I feel so fucking broken, he was one of the kindest men I knew and always taught us to love and accept people... the only positive thing is that he is now back with my nan and uncle who I knew he missed dearly

Saints row character building questions 1, I'm curious to know :D

1. Where did your character come from? What do they think of Stilwater?

Casey was born and raised in Stilwater. That might not be too interesting on it's own so here's a little lore drop about before that.

Casey's dad, Stanisław (Stani or Stanis), immigrated from Poland when he was still young, he grew up in Alpena County and met her mom at Stilwater University. Her mom, Elizabetta (Betty) is Italian American and one of those people who grew up in Stilwater and never fully left.

I say fully because she did move to study at Michigan State University, which is where she met Stanis. They bonded over her love of Greek mythology and his... claims to love Greek mythology after reading one book (according to Casey, therefore according to Betty, take that as you will). They had been dating for a few months when Elizabetta got pregnant, Stanis was in favour of not telling their families and getting an abortion despite his Catholic upbringing, but Betty's was too ingrained in her and additionally some part of her did want the child, hence they eventually ended up dropping out and getting married (Stanisław taking Elizabetta's last name of Clark for a few reasons) and moving back to Stilwater so they could both work and look after their daughter Phoebe.

4 years later they had another accidental pregnancy. In this case neither of them were really in favour of keeping the child, Betty went along with it because she felt she had to and Stanis raised no objection because he felt his wife really wanted this. This led to their daughter (admittedly there was also some gender disappointment there which only made things worse) Cassandra being born. Unfortunately it also led to huge cracks in their marriage due to the lack of communication.

The rest, I'm sure I've covered in a few different posts which I'll try and navigate to finding later and link.

In terms of what Casey thinks of it, I definitely think she wants to escape for the first 23 years of her life, and as I've said countless times, everyone reminds her this is Stilwater and it's not going to happen. She doesn't often go back there for a couple of years after leaving; I think she's a little afraid of the trap it represents.

But when she does return she can finally appreciate it, even with the way it's changed a little. She notices the architecture and the lights and she sees it as someone coming into Stilwater sees it. It's nothing especially poetic but this is how I wrote it before:

The further she got from her home town, the less it reminded her of her shitty teenage years and the more she felt a glow of pride and nostalgia for it.
