#but it's a process i'm still grieving

[fonulyn]

i miss having someone who was excited about my fics during the writing process and who cheerleadered me on and i could brainstorm with. the process is so goddamn lonely now.

rewatching s1 meljay scenes just to feel something and while I want to do an analysis of their relationship to argue against every bonehead that touts "mel manipulated jayce" I got to the end where jayce tells the council to go fuck themselves BUT THEN POINTEDLY TURNS TO MEL AND SOFTLY SAYS "Except you. You were right. You were always right." And I CRY OKAY. Her eyes widen and it sinks in that there's someone who supports the same vision of peace she has, who VALIDATES her views. And one of the LAST scenes is them smiling at one another when the council agrees to Zaun's independence. They made peace without going to war. Without using hextech and corrupting jayce and viktor's dream. Without compromising mel's values.

And then s2 fucked that all up.

i honestly have no idea what Kaeya was thinking when he told Diluc that he was a spy. dude your dad just died. idk. maybe console your brother or something. crazy idea right? and i get that the guilt of his secret was weighing on him so harshly that he couldn't keep it anymore but like.... making your brother's worst birthday ever WORSE?? maybe he did deserve to get beat up idk

what i love is writing stories about characters coping with grief. i love telling stories that are inherently about that love persevering beyond death, about missing someone or something so greatly it's impacted everything you do and say and how different characters process it. and i can tell its a reoccurring theme with me because i have a complicated relationship with grief.

i'm actually back on this account after two months! damn! hello!

the nano burnout took longer to recover from than i thought it would, but i am now actively working on hands in the deep, dark earth again. my new year's resolution is to work on it at least once a week, and i'm currently working through editing what i wrote during nanowrimo so that the plot and lore of the story are more settled in my head before i progress. i still might not be as active on here as i was during november, and i'll participate in fewer tag games since i'm not creating as many new scenes, but it's good to be back!

roleplay idea: barton's trying to say this BS that he's 'good at processing grief' when your muse was a witness to the absolute rage-filled and deranged rampage that barton went on after julien was killed by the joker in which he brutally hurt all but one of his henchmen (he killed the last one because he told him he was 'crazy' and that he 'better kill him, or he was going to tell his boss that barton had been there' and he literally just snapped, went 'you know what, i think i will kill you AND also let the joker know i killed you so he knows to never come near my family again' then killed him. like HUHHH?) at the time with your muse being like this

idk how to put words together to say what i want to say. so if this doesn't make sense that's why. i think sometimes the language about fetuses used by pro choice people is intentionally inflammatory and further drives a wedge between pro choice /pro life. and sometimes the lack of respect is so glaring. what is your gross, dehumanizing, awful descriptors of a fetus supposed to accomplish? you aren't winning anyone over. you're pushing others away. and for the folks who have experienced miscarriage, can you imagine the grief that comes only to be met with "it's just a disgusting alien parasite clump of cells"? you're only posturing to other people who already agree with you. you're taking no care. no compassion. why should anyone ever listen to you when you obviously discredit the significance of pregnancy? why should a pregnant person trust you when you belittle a massive decision and call their growing baby insignificant & a cancer? idk man. i'm not blaming anyone, i just. maybe think about it for a few minutes before you call a fetus a smeared shit stain. okay?

! i am staunchly pro-choice ! this is not a condemnation of abortion ! abortion should be easily accessible to all people !

Phupha 2 telling Kram 1 he'd pick the first person he had even if he fell for a second person just made me gasp. Cause I mean. Well. Phupha 1 had a fiancée, then met Kram 1, then said absolutely nothing about her to Kram 1, but once Kram 1 did find out about her & met her tried to pull out some "baby I was gonna tell you, I promise it's not what you think!" And then he just died? And now Kram 1 is falling for Tai 2 while also being like "no you love Phupha 1" like that entire man isn't dead???

Please someone just hug Tai 2. Like my god. His whole ass man died and then his man's other world double showed up and he tried to keep his distance but caught feelings, but Kram 1 still thought he could just switch Phupha 2 in for his dead Phupha 1 just for Kram 1 to realize he doesn't actually want Phupha 2??? And he does what Tai 2??? Please someone just hug Tai 2. I'm begging.

Did you ever self-insert into SnK? If yes, what was your backstory? What was your rank? What was your casual outfit like? And who was your bae? 👀

Finally going to answer some questions! Thanks, you guys, you are so sweet! I love drawing. I promise I do draw stuff other than Dresden Files all the time, it's just nice to take a break with some incredibly detailed story that I didn't come up with.

I'm still not sure of how I feel about this season finale.

Kisaki's death was awful to watch, it had me shaking. And the added flashbacks between him and Takemichi were great (and break me a lot, Kisaki just wanted to be like his hero. Great, now I'm crying for that idiot).

(and we still didn't saw Hanma crying, because that... Argh. There is something so not okay in Hanma crying).

But the way they ended it was weird. I mean, I loved to see Kakucho and Takemichi together. Even if Kakucho is so depressed and so empty without Izana 🥲

It's just that this ending doesn't feel like it's hinting what is coming. And a lot is coming. So I don't know, it just feels weird.

Or maybe I'm just terriblely biased because I wanted Bonten, it could be. We had the pain and the trauma of Tenjiku, our beloved characters had the pain and the trauma of Tenjiku. So let us see how pretty and how pretty traumatized they are 12 years later. I need to cope, okay?

(Where is my little pink psycho? Where? 😭)

So, for now, this is all I will say:

Look at Haruchiyo looking at Mucho for one last time.

(He looks like a freaking angel, btw. Once more liden films out badget on him. Not complaining but where is the pink hair and the maniacal grin. Where.)

Deciding what he would do once he sees him again (yes, he decided it there, I know it), but unable to resist to give him one last glance, to say goodbye to his captain. Before having to kill him. Yey, tragic MuSan is coming next season and I'm not okay.

(I already saw KakuIza game over. I can't keep watching one character of every one of my ships dying. But this is TR and I also ship MaiTake so I guess I will just keep watching it because Bonten and Kanto Manji are coming. Yey. They keep dying more than once. But both of them. Yuhu.)

my dad called to tell me that his father died and also that he's been listening to this podcast about an unsolved chlorine bomb at a furry convention in chicago

Friends I crave distraction. Please feel free to send me random Star Trek asks - about the shows, the characters, hot takes, theories, your fics, my fics, someone else's fics- anything is fine, I would very much welcome it
