#but im emotionally compromised?

"You sit with Clara and the Hybrid in the great domed tent, talking animatedly of your wildest stories of the Zee. The Hybrid gurgles and claps along, hanging onto every word."

THIS IS A REAL THING YOU CAN DO. IT DOES NOT ADVANCE THE STORY IN ANY WAY. YOU CAN JUST GO IN AND TELL ZEE STORIES TO UR KIDDO!!!

you gotta understand SAM IS A ZAILOR AT HEART, after his one disastrous outing he fell in love with the zee and all its exhilarating danger and is just out there constantly. Right after Hephaesta ended up in Parabola he'd actually sent another friend a letter, offering to treat them to Dante's in exchange for letting him practice telling zee stories on them (since him talking abt the zee tends to be less in the Exciting Tales of his Adventures way and more in the Infodumping About Zailing way...) BUT THEN THIS OPTION????? 🥺 I CANT HANDLE IT..... PUTTING HIS PRACTICE TO WORK ON THE MOST IMPORTANT AUDIENCE............

Fan: “Hi I’m Tessa, and my question is ‘Were there any moments, like scenes or episodes, in Supernatural where you were especially proud of your acting because you had done something and you felt you did it really good or you, like, had to portray a really hard emotion?”

Misha Collins: [...] Uhm, there was a scene, um, gosh I don’t remember what season it was, I want to say maybe season eight? It’s when Sam is possessed by… Gadreel?”

Other Fan: “Season nine!”

Misha: “Season nine, I was really close. Um, and, Bob Singer was directing, you [points at Jensen] were back- uh- behind the monitors, and in this scene, uh, Sam, who’s now possessed as Gadreel, is coming up toward me, and Bob Singer- um, he- he was was a big fan of like 1970s cinema, and there was this one shot that he really wanted to get which was just me punching directly into the camera. Uhm, and then Sam as Gadreel was gonna pass out. And this was like kind of just a cool moment of just being like in tune with the choreography of the moment.

And so I threw the punch, directly into the lens, and um, and everyone behind, uh, video village, which is where they’re watching on the monitors, where Jensen was and Bob Singer was, um, started laughing. An, um, Jensen came out into- We were in the kitchen, we were shooting on location in the kitchen, [laughing] and Jensen came out and said, ‘Misha that was fucking hilarious!... Oh, you weren’t kidding.’ Cause he registered the look on my face and then he said ‘Come here.’ and we went back to the monitors and they did the playback, and the idea was the fist goes right into the lens on the camera. And I did this. [Weird arm swing motion]”

-

Context! This was right before Jensen gave his answer to this question, where instead of talking about a scene he was proud of himself for, he talked about how incredible Misha's acting was in the confession scene and how proud he was of him.

Misha: (tries to be silly and self-deprecating)

raise your hand if you have been personally victimized by Venom: The Last Dance 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Why is Steven acting like all hope is lost? He could use his White Diamond power to possess the Cluster and make it not explode the Earth

Sure he could! Just like all the problems on earth can be solved immediately and without any complications and consequences if someone just took ALLLLLL the plastic in the ocean and launched it into space. Nothing hard about that at all. :)

joke's "it's all my fault" is, like woah, even thinking about that line makes me so emotional.

and then it's followed later with "even if we forgive each other this time there'll still be problems if i'm the issue."

and i, am deeply and intensely familiar with the kind of life that shapes you to have no self worth and see literally every thing that goes wrong as your fault.

and the thing is, in this case, he probably shouldn't have gone off on his own and stolen this ring without thinking about the consequences. i don't think joke realized until it was all said and done that he's no longer operating alone, and that other people can be negatively impacted by his actions. this was something he should have learned in his initial fuck up w jack and the bank which lead him to have to give himself up. and that's part of why jack is mad.

it is him again, and it's the same thing and the same lack of forethought. i think it makes sense that jack got angry here. in a character sense there isn't much else he could have done. and i also think that he owes it to the life he was trying to build with joke and also to the fact that joke wasn't getting this ring for no reason but to help him, specifically, to stop and think about joke's perspective.

and i want to think that he has. with the line about "what would a thief do?" and "figure out things at home" and even just the fact that he was in red and blue during his scene in the bedroom.

jack is a poor kid whose trying to survive and build a better space for him and his community. joke is a rich kid who couldn't meet expectations and left his own community behind after they hurt him. they have entirely different ideas of agency and power and the consequences of failure.

jack knows intimately that one person's mistake can hurt an entire family and impact entire generations. he also knows his actions have weight and can save and help so many lives. joke grew up being told that every thing that went wrong was his fault and his alone. that he would personally bear the cost of his own actions and no one else.

the story has been about jack learning to receive help instead of just giving it and joke learning to stop trying to be a self sacrificial saviour figure. community doesn't flourish when all you have are martyrs. people need to be vulnerable and talk and help each other and most of all, keep living.

i want j&j to show us what it means to support your community, to be a part of it and know that as you flourish so does everyone around you. that you can't just have one or the other.

as I'm playing Veilguard I just keep thinking of your fic and 'you were right!!' 😭 idk if you are planning on continuing the forest is dark (as a fellow fanfic author no pressure) but I'm just thinking about the stuff that has been revealed and their implications relating to mahanon are so juicy

anyways I love your work so much<3

Like.

Like.

Friends I'm feeling weirdly vindicated playing this game in ways I think it's going to take me a very long time to sort through and process and probably see other reactions/other playthroughs but like I am so pleased at least with them walking that line of Solas being a villain and also still throwing out "but he never had to be."

But we'll also have to see how I feel at the end of my first playthrough because while I am blasting through faster than most people I'm talking to about it, I'm definitely not done yet and there's so much room to like, still see what happens (I have read spoilers tho because I'm impatient and I am very interested in some of them >:] )

But yes believe me I suddenly have pages of notes for things I was already gonna do but am either hyped about more now or have refined differently with new context.

As for writing the story: I mean I never really meant to stop working on it, but there were a couple main reasons I stopped for a bit: firstly, after like 2+ years of ONLY writing it (which is unheard of for me) oh my brain just needed a break. It needed a long break. It needed to go write some other genres for a while, like a nonlinear spy au and twisted politics and maybe a few little fun adventure stories... Also I've seen this happen with me before but I got hit so hard with burnout a while ago about life, about work, about everything, and it made it so hard to work on the thing I was working on leading up to the burnout. Or during the burnout. It takes a while mentally to work yourself back around to it and not feel like you did heading to the bad mental place.

Secondly, I really stopped updating when hype for da4 started kicking up, and I think I just needed to know what was gonna happen/be said/if I was ignoring the game or not going forward.

And now I can think about the story without being emotionally distressed AND I know what da4 says so. Stay tuned. But I'm very hopeful because Mahanon (and frankly Alim Surana) have sure been having opinions about certain things...

i will never not be a sucker for a post-battle aftercare / patching each other up--- i can be taken down by a one-shot featuring my favorite ship tenderly touching each other and LITERALLY fixing each other while gazing into the other's eyes and experiencing the relief of making it out of peril together. freaking bonus points if it's a pivotal moment in their relationship where it's the first time one or both have been that vulnerable in front of the other and have usually since been this untouchable individual----
