#but i'm not not saying that

[touchbased]

"yeah, well. i think we both know i'm never not gonna let you in. no matter how fucked our situation is." just go ahead and add that to their grocery list of problems. exes aren't supposed to want to interact post breakup, much less invite them to crash on their couch, and yet here emma is. still inclined to take care of the guy that broke her heart. it'd be easier to hate him, obviously, and if she could find a way to stop worrying about where he rests his head at night, her life would probably be a whole lot easier. but noah is part of her, intrinsically, even after all this time, and he's proving to still be a hard habit to kick. "i mean, jesus, dude. i would have covered your rent and let you live here for free. you know that, right?" it's clearly neither the time nor place to admit such a thing — to call him out on not trusting her to understand his situation — but this whole night's fucked anyway, like they're living in an episode of the twilight zone, so she figures she doesn't have much to lose. of course, she's still somewhat of a coward, so she busies herself with grabbing spare pillows and blankets from the closet. it's easier to keep talking, to admit things, when she isn't looking at him. "i still don't understand why you didn't just ask me to help." maybe it should be left as water under the bridge, but considering the fact he was two seconds away from being inside her tonight, she figures it needs to be addressed. and then she's walking back into the living room and tossing everything onto the couch, lips pressed together so she doesn't admit anything else. "... sorry, that wasn't helpful." just let him be, emma. "i, uh. is there anything else you need?"

doesn't matter to him, who initiated what, not when the responsibility of it rests upon his shoulders. always thought you were meant to get wiser with age, but noah feels as if he's retreating, making mistakes like he's at an age where he could just claim he didn't know any better. but, he does know better— he knows that he shouldn't have dragged himself to her door tonight, knows he shouldn't have gotten carried away in kissing her, touching her, when things between them are already confusing enough as they are. he carries that weight because he doesn't know what else to do with it, doesn't know where else to put it. " right, except i did the same thing, you know? expecting you to take me in tonight, " like he was some stray fucking dog. he'd taken advantage of her kindness, of whatever it was that still lingered between them, banking on the fact that she missed him enough to let her do whatever he wanted to her. his head hangs low, pressing his tailbone into the edge of the counter, still unable to find her gaze. she doesn't answer his question, merely provides him with a solution, and as his head finally lifts to find her, he finds that he doesn't have it within him to let her know that he couldn't stay here. that he wasn't sure if his body would let him, that he feels like he could choke on the thought of being so close to her, surrounded by such familiarity, yet unable to have even a drop of it. wasn't as if he had much an alternative, though; like he had anywhere else to go. " thanks, em, " he nods, albeit reluctantly. " would i be pushing my luck to ask for a blanket, too? "

Oh, ooohhhh.....

There's a Crow TTRPG book!!!!

Look at my username and guess why I'm vibrating at a frequency high enough to shatter glass!

I've been obsessed with The Crow since it came out in 1994, and now I can BE a Crow? Sign me up!

Actually, wait... I think I want to be an omen of disaster instead. I'm going to be a Moth xD

I've managed to avoid getting into tabletop for years, decades even, and suddenly I find a company that's tapping into my love of movies and letting me play in their world?

I need to buy some dice.

Hi! Very invested in the whole wedding story line ;) Did you already propose or are you planning the wedding already before proposals? <3

We have planned the proposals and the wedding, lol. We both have rings and are going to propose to each other over our Christmas road trip across Colorado. The question is who proposes to who first. But we started planning the wedding/reception a couple months back because we wanted to make sure we had plenty of time to diy/thrift and could hopefully finish the majority of prep well in advance to reduce Anxiety.

That moment when I'm using old prompts that I'd originally had plans for Theron/Xaja for, but instead it's Gale and Devi demanding all of my attention.

Considering I've barely gotten ANYTHING for the last few years for Theron and Xaja aside from a couple of College!AU oneshots, I'm very pleased that Gale and Devi are talking so much at me!

Now calling herself the Terminatrix, Ravonna put Kang in stasis and in order to keep his empire in order and safe from the Council of Cross-Time Kangs, she began posing as Kang, the only beings aware of her deception being the Anachronauts. She also began investigating eras earlier in time and discovered the temporal creature known as Alioth who ruled those eras and threatened to consume Kang's empire as well. 

Interesting.

Lily and Mrs. Zabini are murder wives. This started as a crack ship but I’m very attached to it now

LMAO crack ships are the most dangerous ones, you think you'll never actually ship them......................and then whoops they are your new OTP.

i'm sure there's lots of sound medical reasons we're not in the business of blood-letting anymore, but having given a good few vials today to investigate a general grunginess, i feel great - perhaps on occasion we could have little a leech, as a treat?

I think this also speaks to a larger point about how we decide what tasks are difficult or unpleasant enough that you're "allowed" to hire somebody to do them. Like, hanging wallpaper is something that almost anybody could, theoretically, do themselves. It's not exactly an easy thing to do well, but there's no specialized training required, and lives in the category of things that I personally consider fairly doable (I was also taught by my parents how to do a fair amount of basic home repair and DIY, to be fair). But I think that most people, if they heard that someone had hired a company or simply a local person to come and put up new wallpaper/paint a room in their house, would think "yeah, ok, that seems like a time-consuming/difficult/unpleasant job that would probably be done faster and better by a professional." Same with yardwork, or cleaning the gutters, or any number of other tasks that people frequently pay for. We've got to stop imposing these honestly arbitrary standards onto labor; what matters isn't whether you "should" be able to do it yourself, but whether you're willing to pay somebody else a respectable wage to do it for you.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on
