i'm very big on sabolaw because (to me) they just make sense. a whole lot of sense.
they both have their similarities in terms of backstory and lore: both of them saw the truth about the society they lived in at the age of 10, between the flames of a city, or part of a city, that they called home, and they both have lost an important figure in their life with whom they seeked freedom, and to whom they promised to keep their will alive, now living through their vows.
both sabo and law are in search of freedom. for sabo, it is more of an universal freedom, the freedom of the people before his own, even if it started as something he yearned for himself; for law, it's effectively a personal freedom, a freedom he wants to achieve for his own person, and for cora. but in order to achieve both of their goals and be free, they have to discover the truth about their world, and their lives. the true history.
checkered fate.
interestingly enough, in the manga sabo and law are described to both have a checkered fate; the five elders use this adjective to describe sabo's destiny, because he's surrounded by people with the moniker D, and law uses it to describe his own fate, when he decides he wants to seek out the meaning behind his name, and so discover the truth about the will of the D.
now, this is why i think sabo and law will end up working together, sooner or later. i know that law becoming an ally of the revolutionary army and/or linking up with sabo is a very popular theory and i'm so, SO glad it is! because it really makes sense, doesn't it?
sabo is destined to be involved with people with the initial D in their name, and was just now trusted with the task to deliver vivi and luffy the message that vivi is a D just like luffy is, making him even more involved than he already was with the clan and its descendants. on the other side, we have law, whose newly found objective is to find the truth behind his existence, thus uncovering the "true history", which will inevitably bring him closer to other "D"s and to those who always get mixed up with them.
if we add these bits of info to the whole imu situation...
imu is, most certainly, an immortal being, who became immortal thanks to the ability of the ope-ope no mi. ivankov literally SHOWS the fruit to sabo in chapter 1086!
and i mean, i doubt sabo still doesn't know who law is. he was in dressrosa, after all (also im so so so convinced sabo and law met sometime during the timeskip bc law saved luffy's life and iva was right there and how could sabo not know that was law who saved his little brother's life and how could he not go and thank law for what he did i mean- c'mon-) and he most likely knew about the alliance with luffy and everything else. so he should know that law is the wielder of the ope-ope no mi, and it would be obvious for him to seek law out in order to know more about the fruit's ability and find a counterattack to imu's (and, probably, the five elders') immortality. it would be so disappointing if after all these little hints they ended up never meeting. like, at all.
finally, sabo and law's dynamic would be soooo interesting!! sabo is similar to luffy in some ways, but he's also... completely different. i think law wouldn't lose his mind working with sabo, because yes, sabo is irresponsible and impulsive and a bit of a jerk- but he follows the plan, he's strategic, he's stealthy and logical, and he puts the success of the mission above everything else (that isn't luffy, of course). law can work splendidly with that. i also think they would have a very entertaining back-and-forth, both of them being as witty and blunt as they are. they would be equals, and have a very well balanced relationship. sabo is cheerful and kind, fiery and elegant, which is a good contrast to law's cold, serious demeanour, and heartless façade (because law cares just as much as sabo, he wants to help people just as much as him; he is a doctor, after all). also their devil fruits would work so well, so good together, it would be so cool- oda i'm begging you, please, let them be partners, please-
one piece gakuen and stampede showed us a bit of how their possible dynamic could work, and i pray day and night that we can have something like that in the main manga, too. i need it.
tl;dr: sabolaw is a very good pairing with a lot of potential that i hope will be explored in the story sometime in the future. please do consider them!!!
#sabolaw#revolutionary sabo#sabo#trafalgar law#trafalgar d. water law#one piece#i didnt specify it in the dynamic part but ofc theyre both unhinged and insane which just makes their pair 100x better#also uhh didnt know where to put this but i dont think law will join the ra as much as he will be their ally for awhile#im way too attached to the heart pirates to say they will disband and i think theyre way too important for law to just let them go#theyre his best friends!!! his family!!!#either they all join the ra or they dont join at all sorry#okay im done now i promise#fool rambles#long post

Y'know what I would love to see?? More training years of Bruce! Like, we don't see much of it??
We see a little more of his time on the League of assassins (I don't read a lot of comics, more of the timmverse and live action movies so that's what I'm talking about)
but I would love to see him doing random side quests in the meantime of running out of Gotham and joining Ras, when he was touring the world
There's this one ficlet of @/wanderintofics that kinda of gets there? I won't be able to link it I KNOW IT EXISTS BCS I HAVE SC OF IT BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE IT IS
but it talks basically about an island in the Indian oceans that Bruce absolutely loves of sun and warm water that he adored, it was before the "weight truly sat on his shoulders". AND isn't even the point of the fic but I just thought the concept was sooo interesting
It's a faux freedom kinda? He's doomed by Gotham, chained to it yes, but seeing so much things new he never got to see in Gotham, it's the silence that he doesn't have in the west coast but also chatter and happiness and noisy, and the crying he can't never run away and the whole reason why he's doing it â the fact no one knows who he is also almost loke he isn't carrying his name and all the weight with it, even though his minds never let he runs away from being a Wayne, and only the thought of running away from his legacy (from his parents) makes him all nauseous and stomach heavy
Saving people at a much greater cost and getting beat, randomly getting drawn into dismantling (or at least destabilizing) mobs but getting badly hurt in the process, because all training he had was taught by Alfred or by bullies that bad talked his parents, and something about how his lessons always boiled down to "don't get hit", until he had to do more than not get hit
Aarrgh I just love the concept so much I was wondering if you have anything on mind??
Sorry for rambling in your tags. Love your blog <3
_ đȘ»
I think you hit on all the great parts about this period of Bruce's life! It's such a fascinating insight into his character, to see him in this kind of half/in-between state. He's not quite Batman yet, but we know he will be. He's trained, but not the best. He bleeds, but we know one day it won't matter.
Half myth, half human. The people who know him then don't realize the sliver of truth they'll have, year later. That's why appearances by Talia, Ra's, Minhkhoa Khan, etc are so interesting. They knew him in between, but they don't truly know him as Batman, either.

Oh my gosh guys, guys, guys!!!
Idea time!!!
I personally can't see Arin going fully evil.
I can definitely see his frustration and anger, but he's a good kid, and I dont think he'd do anything malicious on purpose. But I do think he's in a prime position to get manipulated right now. He's at his lowest point, and he could possibly be willing to do anything to impress and prove himself to Llyod.
What I think would be really interesting is if, via manipulation, Ras could get Arin to let his guard down and maybe even get him to listen to his point of view a bit.
("I lost my parents too, you know, and I found a way to make it on my own. I had to be strong. I learned that i didn't need anyone else, only myself." I don't know. That might be an angle that Ras could exploit, effectively drawing Arin away from his friends.)
(I mean, I'm assuming, according to that flashback sequence, that Ras's parents weren't really around.)
Maybe Arin would even start to trust Ras a little. Or at least start to doubt Lloyd's methods of teaching. (Which to be honest, Lloyd, you're not doing yourself any favors with your teaching technique, buddy. I know you're trying to encourage the kid, but you're giving him an unrealistic idea of a future self he has to measure up to.)
I think Arin is putting a lot of pressure on himself too.
So Arin doesn't necessarily join Ras, but somehow ends up facing off with him a bit more than usual during fights or something. Ras singles him out, trying to plant more of those seeds of doubt. Maybe Ras gets him alone, and, either willingly or by force, Arin ends up wearing a wolf mask.
I mean, is Shatterspin technically evil if you're using it to fight bad guys? I mean, it's not like his own spinjitzu is helping anyway.
Maybe, Lloyd or Sora look over and see Arin wearing the mask. Maybe they run to him, and ask what the heck he is thinking!
Maybe Arin is embarrassed. He feels sorry and ashamed. He knows he made a mistake. He goes to take the mask off.
But before he can, the gong is struck, and his soul is shattered.
All of the emotions come flooding out. He's angry. So very angry. Angry at Llyod for putting all this pressure on him. Angry at Sora for progressing so far and leaving him behind. Angry at himself for not doing something, SOMETHING, more to find his parents.
We get a scene similar to that bit in Season 4 with Kai and the staff of elements. Arin just loses control, and all the anger, doubt, and fear come spewing out.
That's what I want.
I want him to voice his frustrations to his friends. And at the moment, I think Arin is just so nice that he doesn't want to bother anyone and isn't going to say anything.
But as the saying goes, "even a worm will turn"
In other words, even the nicest and sweetest people will show you how dangerous they can be if pushed too far.
So, um. Arin deserves to go feral. Just as a little treat.

helloo !! id like to ask for a matchup if thatâs alright? (youre on break rn though so take your time dw!) Iâm not too sure how to req a matchup so sorry if itâs too much ghdkvhdk
to start off with my hobbies and interests, thereâs a LOT of them and theyâre very contrasting- Iâve probably spent the most cash on drawing (investment on a drawing iPad aaaouurg), but I also spend a lot of my time writing and singing! On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, I also enjoy blacksmithing, welding, and boxing a lot!! Im also a huuuuge history buff and I really like psychology as well!!
I really like spicy foods and fruit flavored things and hearing people ramble about things they're passionate about, and I like puzzles n stuff that makes me think :]] dislikes consist of chocolate, angry yelling, crowded spaces, and boring people !!
I'm a very 0-100 person where I'm either very low energy and distant, or high energy. Im pretty impulsive as well, at least when it comes to my own safety whether it be for a dumb reason or important. I very rarely talk about my interests to people who I'm not 100% comfortable with, but when I am it's VERY easy to urge me into infodumping about fuck all I can talk about my interests for actual hours and I get really emotional if I'm told to be quiet fjdjfusjf- id like to think I'm pretty ambitious and witty as well, I'm quick to snap back at people. In terms of outside of my social circle however, I'm very much so an introvert and have a very hard time meeting new people :']
SORRY THIS IS SO MUCH I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH OR HOW LITTLE I SHOULDVE PUT IF YOU WANT ME TO SEND A SHORTER ONE THRN LMK I TOTALLY WILL!!! AGAIN TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS ILL BE HAPPY WITH ANYTHING YOU MAKE :DDD (and feel free to call me :] anon!!)
I'll be doing a matchup for you too but since I just followed you I don't know you very well yet, BUT ITLL HAPPEN I SWEAR
~ :]
Hi :]. Itâs so nice to hear from you! Of course you can have a matchup! I always have time to do this! Iâm back from break and it sucked, but this was great to come back and do! This one was kind of hard. I was torn between like 6, but after some thinking, lots of outlines and lists. I came up with it!!
Your most like a combination of Sabo and Chopper!!!
Sabo:
You both are very impulsive and will do anything
Sabo is a 0-100 kind of guy just like you!
Both of you are ambitious and witty as well as emotional
Both love writing. You guys would write an amazing book together. Iâd love to see it
Lastly, you both are emotional and hate boring and terrible people.
I could definitely imagine you joining the RA
Chopper:
Both could talk anyoneâs ear off about everything you love. Chopper would definitely talk about medical stuff all day if he could
Chopper is a little introverted around strangers like you. But I do feel like you would be better at hiding than him đ
Chopper is a little intimidated by crowds like you
Chopper like sweets and fruits are sweet soâŠ.
He also is afraid of Nami who yells. You hate yelling. Enough said.
But when you two find friends, youâll come out of your shells and flourish!
I hope you like it! You said you would do a match up for me so just DM me and Iâll give you any info you need! Thank you :] for the request! đđ€

what the haikyuu!! boys/girls favorite songs/bands aređŒ
hello! this is my first post so i hope im doing it right :P anyways enjoy!
karasunođŸ
daichi: Donât Stop Believinâ by Journey. heâs such a typical dad holy shit so yeah he 100% listens to this i donât know what else to say like- đ€ yeah he probably sings it in his minivan (you cannot convince me that he doesnât drive a minivan)
sugawara: WAP by Cardi B. yes we stan this bad bitch. he LOVES this song like he can do the dance and everything and he pulls it off like the baddie he is please someone animate this i NEED it anyways yeah he doesnât really sing it but he 100% has done the dance in front of daichi.
asahi: Lullaby by Johannes Brahms. this baby hes such a slut for classical music and he always listens to it before a big game to calm his nerves. he pretends that heâs listening to something âtoughâ but everyone knows that he listens to classcial, they just pretend to not know.
nishinoya: Old Town Road by Lil Nas X. yeah, he hasnât gotten out of the old town road phase and he unironically sings it and does a yeehaw dance. no one can stop him because everyone (except tanaka) is too embarrassed to be around him when he sings and dances, so he thinks itâs ok (honey, no), also, tanaka sometimes joins in and itâs painful to hear and see.
tanaka: GOOBA by 6xi9ine. he thinks itâs âbadassâ and tries to rap it whenever it comes on, and he fails horribly, but nishinoya always hypes him up saying that he did a good job, causing him to start singing again please save karasuno from hinata, nishinoya, and tanakaâs singing
ennoshita: Cough Syrup by Young The Giant. though it may not seem like it, but this man has got music TASTE like- yes. anyways yeah this song is a vibe and he really likes it. he once tried to introduce good music to tanaka and nishinoya, but they said it was âboringâ and âsappyâ and he never wanted to beat them up more than he did then.
kageyama: he listens to like play by play volleyball games or podcasts that talk about improving your skills because heâs a hoe for that volleyball shit try and prove me wrong i dare you
hinata: Red by Taylor Swift. he has terrible music taste and he literally just listens to whatâs popular and like what his sister listens to. he likes to sing outloud and his voice is worse than oikawa- like karasuno cannot handle hinata singing at all itâs literal earrape.
tsukishima: Fancy by Twice. tsukki is a hardcore kpop stan, and he 100% listens to twice religiously, like that's the majority of his playlist, and he refuses to play his music out loud, and everyone thinks he listens to like rock or some shit like that. only yams knows that tsukki listens to it and he was sworn to secrecy.
yamaguchi: Sports by Beach Bunny. he likes to hum it quietly to himself because he really likes the beat and the lyrics. tsukishima has this song saved on his playlist just for yams and he plays it whenever they share headphones.
kiyoko: Body by Megan Thee Stallion. i dont know what to say, she is just a baddie who loves the confidence boost she gets from listening to this song as she should kiyoko is amazing she even learned the tiktok dance to this song and she performed it to yaichi yaichi.exe has stopped working but she wonât show it to anyone else anyways shes just a baddie and we stan.
yachi: Green by Cavetown. yeah she really likes the calming peaceful vibes this song has and she likes to sing it quietly when she is in a public place, like a bus or a subway to calm herself down and she also plays it when she studies.
aoba johsai đŒ
oikawa: Bubblegum Bitch by MARINA because it just raidates that âiâm hotter than youâ energy (just like he does our twink king). he prob sings it in the locker room while everyone is changing and his singing bursts everyones eardrums omg the whole team hates oikawaâs singing so much
matsukawa: Toad sings WAPÂ heâs such a memer like- yeah so he and makki probably obsess over these toad sings video because 1. they are funny as hell like itâs some god tier comedy and 2. they say oikawa sounds like that when he sings itâs true tho
hanamaki: Toad sings Sweet Home Alabama. he and mattsun have a running debate about which one is better, and they ask the opinions of literally everyone they meet about it. so far more people have chose makiâs favorite song and heâs a little smug about it.
iwaizumi: Ride by twenty one pilots. this is probably like one of his secret pleasures. most people think he listens to like rap or something like that, but he really likes this song. he hopes that oikawa will never find out about this, because he will never hear the end of the teasing, so he just listens to this song while he is by himself, or just without the team.
yahaba: Walking On A Dream by Empire Of The Sun. idk this just feels right, like i really have no explanation why i think this works it just doesđ€
kindaichi: Wake Me Up bye Avicii. this man is borderline bad taste, but we will let it slide for now, so yeah again, he just gives me the avicii stan vibes, he probably thought he would like rap more, but one day he heard avicii playing on the radio and he was hooked. he still pretends to like rap because he has a âreputationâ
kunimi: Advice by Cavetown. this man gives absolutley zero fucks about everyoneâs opinions you bet your ass he listens to this song. he 100% puts headphones in to listen to this while someone is talking to him because he just doesnât want to have a conversation with them. everyone hates when he does that, but again, he doesnât give a shit.
kyotani: We Will Rock You by Queen. yeah this is probably his pump up jam and he always listens to it before a game to get hyped up. if anyone dares to talk to him while he has headphones in, he will not hesitate to bite their head off i know this for a fact.
nekomađŸ
kuroo: Yarichin Bitch Club OP. ever since kenma introduced him to anime OPs, heâs been obsessed, and he loves the yarichin op becuase 1. itâs dirty and he thinks thatâs funny and 2. it actually slaps like why does it go so hard iâm in awe- anyways yeah he always sings it in the most public places just to get attention bc heâs a whore for the spotlight like that đ. he also sings it with bokuto whenever they are together bc we stan the dumbass duo.
yaku: Arms Tonite by Mother Mother. yeah he is kinda obsessed with mother mother but this is hands down his favorite song. lev once heard yaku listening to this song and made fun of it, and letâs just say lev got the ass whopping of his life, yaku takes no prisoners- anyways yeah he just vibes with it and itâs great.
yamamoto: Who Let The Dogs Out by Baha Men. the whole nekoma team HATES his music taste, and they never let him play any music becasue- itâs just so bad iâm sorry this man has no taste like have you seen his hair? (the slander is real :))
kenma: Hikaru Nara (Your Lie in April OP) kenma loves to listen to anime ops while gaming bc they are highkey all bops and he says they help him concentrate. he tried to get kuroo to listen to the songs with him, and kuroo started to like listening to anime OPs, so they usually listen to them together.
fukunaga: he listens to like john mulaney comedy shows becuse heâs a little dork like that and (timeskip spoiler) he becomes a comedian later on so it just fits đ€
inuoka: Roar by Katy Perry. again, itâs just the vibes that i get from him, i canât explain it, he just seems like a big dork who would like this shit. so yeah, he probably sings this song really loudly when it comes on and the whole nekoma team just has to tolerate him when he does it.
lev: Ra Ra Rasputin by Boney M. he probably started listening to this song as a joke because heâs Russian, and the songs about Russia, but he genuinely started enjoying it and whenever it comes on, he starts singing. his voice isnât actually that bad but yaku still gets annoyed as hell when he does it and beats the shit out of him.
fukurodani đŒ
bokuto: Mr. Brightside by The Killers. he gets really excited when this plays and always gets up to sing it really really loudly, and do a really energetic dance. akaashi calm your child please heâs not a good singer, but heâs not a terrible one either, so the team has just gotten used to it.
akaashi: This Side of Paradise by Coyote Theory. eep akaashi the hopeless romantic we stan- anyways yeah he found this band in like his first year of high school and has been addicted ever since. he doesnât really share his taste in music with others, but the one time he let bokuto listen to music with him, bokuto got way to excited and accidentally dropped akaashiâs phone and cracked it.
konoha: Spirits by The Strumbellas. idk i just feel like he would listen to this song. he would never play his music out loud though, because bokuto always takes the aux cord/ speaker before anyone gets the chance to.
shiratorizawađŸ
ushijima: he doesnât listen to music. like if tendou offers to play music with him, heâll accept, but like heâs just confused why people like listening to music so much, so he will just listen with that face he always makes (đ) while tendo is jumping around, dancing, and going batshit crazy.
semi: All I Wanted by Paramore. he is flat out obsessed with this band and he learned how to play this song on his electric guitar and has went to a couple of their concerts. semi 100% makes fun of his teammates music taste as he should
tendou: Yoda CBT remix (i linked it if you want to listen), ok but seriously, i think money machine by 100 Gecs. tendo is so chaotic and i think his music taste reflects that. he cannot listen to music without dancing or singing, and he always plays his music on full volume (hearing? whatâs that?) tendo never gets the aux cord, because the last time they gave it to him, the speakers almost broke.
goshiki: Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. this little dork omg i really donât have an explanation for this, it just fits and i take no criticism on this because yâall know itâs true.
shirabu: Cigarette Ahegao by Penelope Scott. semi introduced him to this song and he pretened he didnât like it but heâs secretly obsessed. i think he generally doesnât like music but this song- this song is such a vibe that he has to like it. (anyways yeah go listen to this song its so good)
inarizaki đŒ
kita: Animal by Neon Trees. he isnât really open about listening to music, he only listens to his songs when he is alone and when he has earbuds in, and if someone walks up to him to talk, he takes his earphones out (we stan a respectful boy). so yeah, he isnât a big fan of music, but he still likes to listen from time to time.
aran: You Know It by Colony House. he will never listen to music in front of anyone because whenever he hears this song, he has to sing, and he doesnât like singing in front of people (the miya twins are annoying he canât do anything in front of themđ), but yeah, this songs really good we stan this manâs music taste.
atsumu: Girls in the Hood by Megan Thee Stallion. this man LOVES this song like- he is obsessed. if you ask him something, he will literally reply with âcanât talk right now, doing hot girl shitâ and he just walks away and ur just like- what the fuck bro. anyways yeah he thinks heâs a bad bitch but he really is just a dork.
suna: 505 by The Arctic Monkeys. yeah, the basic choice would probably be âwhyâd you only call me when youâre highâ, but i feel like he would like this song better because it starts off kinda vibey, and then it goes into this great guitar bit, and just- the v i b e s so yeah i think he really likes this shit.
osamu: cooking podcasts. like he literally doesnât listen to music, just shit about cooking. atsumu makes fun of him for it and he is just like âbitch shut up and go do ur hot girl shit đâ and just walks away and keeps on listening to his cooking shit. (we stan this petty bitch)
othersđŸ
saeko: E-GIRLS ARE RUINING MY LIFE! by CORPSE and Savage Ga$p. this is self explanatory, she just is a bad bitch and this is what bad bitches listen to đ she def has played this song while getting it on with someone.
terushima: Bust It Open by Lilâ Wil. we all know terushima listens to these thirst trap songs and tries to do the tik tok dances that are associated with them. he probably posts videos to these songs on tik tok and they get a good amount of likes (cough cough he has a following of many thirsty girls).
sakusa: 24 hours of nothing yeah he doesnât listen to music he just puts this on with headphones so people wonât bother him. he finds the silence relaxing and hates it when people interrupt him (cough cough atsumu)
btw: for some of the songs that arenât on basic streaming services, i linked the youtube video for them.
anyways, i hope you enjoyed my first post [eep finishing this made me really happy]! have a nice day!
bye for nowđ

Brave Enough (to Break Your Own Heart) - Chapter 2
Jack reaches out to Davey a few days after the partyÂ
Masterpost
Jack returned from his art history class with a headache like heâd never had before. He wasnât hungover, he hadnât been drinking since Saturday at the party. The party where he met David. David, who he hasnât stopped thinking about but also hasnât texted.
He was probably just stressed. He would tell himself he was stressed about school, about the essay he had to write by Friday and by the sketches he needed to finish, but he knew deep down that wasnât the case.
He was stressed about himself, his life. His identity.
He wasnât straight and it was terrifying.
And constantly thinking about a guy he hooked up with isnât helping his fear, his worries.
But ignoring it wouldnât help either. Quickly, before he could stop himself, he opened his texts to David.
Jack: are you doing anything right now?
David: Not until my class at 2:00? Whatâs up?
Jack didnât know the answer to that seemingly simple question. He wanted to see David, obviously, but he didnât want his friends to know who he was with and therefore why they were together. He didnât want to go out somewhere because it would be a date and that definitely wasnât what he was looking for.
Jack: oh god i dont even know im sorry. im just stressed and i wanna figure shit out but idk how
David: Can I help with anything?
Jack: i wanted to see you i guess
David: Okay, do you still want to?
The fact that David was being so understanding wasnât helping Jackâs guilt. His guilt that he wanted to see David but not be seen with David. Jack: yeah.
David: And Iâm free so whatâs the problem?
David: Are you afraid of your friends knowing and asking questions?
Jack: it sounds bad
David: Nobodyâs blaming you.
David: Iâm in a single, do you want to come over?
Jack: yes please
Jack didnât feel good about wanting to hide but he would feel even worse about seeing his friends while he was with David and having to either tell them or get caught in a lie if he chose to hide the truth.
David sent his room number and Jack didnât hesitate in leaving his room to go to Davidâs, thankful that Crutchie was still in class and therefore unable to ask where he was going. The walk was short, leaving Jack without enough time to overthink his actions, thank God. He knew that he would find far too many flaws in his situation if he took the time to mull it over.
He did, however, pause outside Davidâs door for a while before he could bring himself to knock. He just stood there, staring at the fall-themed name card on his door, no doubt put there by his RA.
Maybe he should just go, he thought. David was out and secure in his identity, he shouldnât be burdened by Jackâs identity or lack thereof.
But, still, David was the one who invited Jack over, the one who asks questions and supports Jack.
He knocked.
David opened the door with a smile kind enough to knock any hesitant thoughts from Jackâs head. âHey, Jack.â David stepped aside, allowing Jack to enter before shutting the door behind him.
Jack wasnât expecting to make it this far and he didnât know how to proceed. He lingered in the center of Davidâs tiny dorm room, just standing there. He didnât know where to sit, what to say. It wasnât often that Jack was left with no words on his tongue.
It seems like David realized Jackâs hesitation because he guided Jack by the shoulder as he walked to his bed. They sat against the wall, treating the bed like a couch, as you must in a dorm with minimal furniture. Their shoulders were touching but Jack wanted more contact, he just didnât know what was allowed.
He realized he still hadnât spoken.
âHey.â It came out quieter than he was expecting.
âWhat are you thinking?â David asked.
Jack knocked his head back against the wall, exasperated. He wanted to say he didnât know again, it felt like the most convenient answer.
âToo much,â he answered.
David didnât respond, instead opting to take Jackâs hand in support and hopes heâll continue, elaborate.
âIâm frustrated,â Jack continued.
âAbout what?â
âThat I have to deal with this bullshit. Not you, obviously. You arenât bullshit. But like, two weeks ago I wouldnât have even thought about not being straight. But now, now I have to like figure myself out and I got all this emotion and whatever and I can't just get rid of it.â Jack moved his other hand to their joined hands, fidgeting with Davidâs fingers as he spoke.
âWhat happened two weeks ago?â asked David, tone steady. Jack was almost annoyed by how collected he was while he himself could barely string a sentence together.
âI kissed some guy at a party. Thatâs the stupid shit I do when I get drunk that I was talking about.â
âSo you mean to tell me that Iâm not your big sexual awakening? What a scam.â David joked, knocking their shoulders together playfully.
Jack rolled his eyes. âTrust me I was a lot less drunk with you and I did a whole lot more with you. You can take credit for the crisis.â
âGood, something for me to be proud of.â David paused for a few beats before he continued speaking. âWhat do you need now?â
Jack knew he should say something along the lines of âtalking it outâ or âdealing with his emotionsâ or whatever, but that wouldnât be the truth.
âI could go for a distraction.â
âI can help with that.â
Jack turned his head toward David to kiss him, hesitantly at first, this being the first time heâs kissed a guy with no alcohol in his system. It didnât take long for him to warm up to the idea, though, and soon he was turned so he was sitting on his knees in order to face David completely. Davidâs hand moved to Jackâs hair and Jack would do anything to not have to admit how much he liked it. His mouth dropped open as David gave a slight tug. He opened his eyes to look at David and he had no right looking that sexy, smirking knowingly with his fingers still clutching Jackâs hair.
âYeah, a distraction was definitely the right move,â Jack said through a smile.
David put a hand on Jackâs shoulder and pressed him down, onto the mattress.
Things moved much slower this time. The added conversation and the vastly different environment striped them of the fast paced urgency from the party. Once Jack was flat on the bed David opted to lie next to him rather than on top of him, leaving the heat to build slowly, rising with their heartbeats.
Jack couldnât tell you how long they stayed like that; lying on Davidâs bed, making out and constantly pulling each other closer until they needed to break away to breathe. Could be minutes, could be hours, it made no difference to him.
At some point Jack ended up flat against the mattress, not turned to face David, and David was hovering over him. He wasnât quite on top of him, his shoulders turned to Jack while his legs stayed by his side. It was at this point where things started to escalate, but also this point where David pushed Jack back slightly, Jack attempted to chase Davidâs lips back up, not wanting to break the kiss but he was unable to. Davidâs hand on Jackâs chest kept him in his place.
He wasnât actually holding him back but Jack got the hint. He let his head fall back against the pillow and he pressed his eyes shut.
âYou really like stoppinâ us, huh Davey?â Jack tried to not sound too frustrated.
âAgain, itâs not that I want to stop but we have to. I told you I have class at 2:00.â
âSkip it.â
David laughed but Jack wasnât joking.
Jack pulled David back to him with an arm around his shoulders and David gave in for a little while. Jack tried to pick up where they left off, sitting up a little from the bed in order to get even closer to David and catching his bottom lip in a quick teasing bite. The sound David made suggested that he would rather stay with Jack than go to class but he broke the kiss once again, anyway.
âI really have to go.â David stood up and adjusted his clothes, his shirt was askew from Jack tugging at it and his pants were uncomfortable for an entirely different reason.
âCome on, Davey.â Jack was lying back and propping himself up on his elbows. David glanced back at Jack but quickly turned away again, moving toward his wardrobe to get a jacket.
âNo, you have to stop sounding so desperate and looking so hot because then Iâd actually stay.â
âWell good, thatâs what Iâm aiming for.â Jack countered.
âIâm gonna be late.â David walked to his door but turned back to Jack. âYou can go or you can stay, itâs up to you. Class ends at 3:30.â
And then he was gone, leaving Jack alone and wanting on his bed. Jack wanted to stay, to be there when David got back, but he couldnât. It was too intimate.
He checked his texts and refreshed Instagram, killing time while he gained some composure. Eventually, he stood and gathered his things and left Davidâs room. He sent David a text as a formality but it felt like it was too much. Too much like they were together instead of hooking up. He put his phone on silent and began the walk back to his own room.

ask your destiny to dance [16] {Roger Taylor}
[masterpost]
âI canât speak to her.â Rogerâs got his head on a bar in a pub thatâs not Ashâs.
âCan I go back to pretending I donât know what was going on?â Brian asks, taking a long sip of his drink and gazing out at the crowd. Itâs been over a week since Ash had stayed over, and they hadnât seen her since. Itâs not like sheâd even asked about him, or made a move to contact him; sometimes they go a full fortnight before seeing one another, but Rogerâs been fretting for almost eight days internally, and for the past twenty minutes externally, since heâd finished his first drink.
âShe said she loves me.â Roger groaned, lifting his head to weakly order another pint.Â
âFrom what youâve told me, she wasnât even fully conscious; itâs not like it counts.â Brian had never seen Roger downright distressed like this, it would be funny if it wasnât bordering on annoying.
âNo, that means she was extra honest,â Roger groaned, downing half his beer in on go, to which Brian could only roll his eyes.
âOr she was still asleep and thought you were Jack Nicholson.â After a beat, Brian goes back to watching Roger brood over his glass. âBoo hoo, Rog,â he shoved the blonde lightly, to which Roger just leveled a glare at him, âa girl youâve been seeing for months maybe has feelings for you. Itâs not like itâs the end of the world.â
âItâs only been since I broke up with Kristin,â heâs adamant about that and Brian lets him have it, for now. In retrospect, he feels like an idiot for not seeing it sooner; Brianâs not sure when it started, but itâs definitely a lot longer than Rogerâs willing to admit. âAnd it doesnât mean nothing, but it also... itâs never meant something. Like itâs something but itâs not something. Itâs just fucking around and having fun.â And Roger swivels on the bar stool, joining Brian in looking out over the crowd, before they spot Freddie crashing through the door, making a beeline for them once heâd spotted them.
âAlright, what did I miss?â Freddie asked, though the other two were quiet as he ordered a beer. Before either could get a word in edgewise, Freddie props his chin on his hand on the bar, and announces;Â âRoger you look like shit, whatâs wrong?â
âIâm pretty sure heâs in love with Ash, and he thinks sheâs in love with him.â Brian says blithely, and Freddie nods with understanding as Roger tells them to both sod off, and he stalks through to join the crowd on the dance floor. âShe said she loved him in her sleep.â Brian explains, taking the chair Roger just freed, sliding into place beside Freddie.
âIâve never seen him this worked up about someone before.â Freddie admitted, and Brian nodded in agreement, the two of them barely able to see his blonde hair for the crowd, and they lost sight of him soon enough.
âWhat do you think? Has Ash said anything?â Brianâs gaze slides to Freddieâs who just rolls his eyes.
âI think my dear Ash has never in her life loved a man whoâs deserved it,â Freddie mused, though his lips twisted into a smirk, âthatâs not to say sheâs a saint, far from it, but compared to the others, Roger is a breath of fresh air.âÂ
âIsnât that a sad thought.â Brian said faintly, before heaving a sigh. âWell, I know we havenât been here long,â he got to his feet, finishing off his drink and looking around for his housemate, âbut if I donât drag him home heâs going to do something stupid in his current state.â
âLike that pretty, brunette thing over there?â Freddie asks, pointing to where Rogerâs already got his lips on a wavy-haired brunette at the side of the room. Freddieâs pretty sure he sees Brianâs soul leave his body for a moment, and watches everything play out like a terrible Shakespearean comedy for which he was the only audience member.
âHeâs a danger to himself.â Brian takes Freddieâs drink from his hands and takes a long gulp before passing it back, though Freddie doesnât seem likely to complain.
âHe seems rather fine,â Freddie watches Roger go in for a hickey on the girl with a morbid, voyeuristic interest, taking another sip of his drink, âand you know he and Ash arenât technically exclusive.âÂ
âYeah but thereâs three options here; Ash finds out and gets pissed and I have to hear about it because apparently now that I know Iâm all in on this disaster,â Brian lists on his fingers with a theatricality Freddie had rarely seen from him before, though heâd rarely seen Brian this exasperated before, so perhaps it was merely that, âtwo, Ash isnât pissed, sleeps with someone else, and Roger gets pissed because heâs in love with her-â
âWhich is unfair, what a tremendous double standard.â
âYes, we all know Rogerâs a hypocrite.â Brian sighed, casting a glance over his shoulder at Roger, before turning back to Freddie.
âAnd three?â The other man prompted, and Brian picked up his empty pint glass.
âI kill him with this glass because Iâm sick of his sulking.â He says bluntly, and Freddieâs all for the third option, but he begrudgingly helps pull Roger away, to which the drummer complains the whole time.
âWhere are we going?â Roger demands to know when they head in the opposite direction of his apartment, a sentiment that Brian mirrors, though he doesnât seem inclined to question Freddieâs direction outright. Freddie always had a plan. The man in question wrapped an arm around Rogerâs shoulders.
âYouâre going to confront your problems, Rog.â He sounds so decisive, as if it wasnât a plan heâd come up with as they were leaving the bar, and Roger tries to scramble his way out of it, but Brianâs fed up enough with Rogerâs complete inability to do anything but run from his problems that heâs willing to take Rogerâs arm in an almost iron grip.
âItâll do both of us a world of good.â Brian tells him as Roger glowers at his housemate.
âYou donât get to decide whatâs good for me; whatâs good for me was that girl at the bar, she smelled nice and was about three minutes away from banging me in that bathroom.â Roger snarled, wrenching himself out of their grips, though he didnât run this time, crossing his arms over his chest as he walked with them.
âRog, weâre not gonna let you ruin a good-â But Brianâs gentle sigh was cut off by more of the blonde blustering.
âThatâs so presumptuous!â He stopped in his tracks, scowling between both of his band-mates. âYouâre both wankers, selfish fucking wankers. This is kidnapping.â He snaps.
âFine; if you want to leave, weâre not stopping you.â Freddie offers, gesturing freely at the path behind them. âWeâre just trying to help.âÂ
Roger stomped the entire walk to Ashâs apartment.Â
âWhat the fuck, guys.â She opens the door with her hair in a messy bun, wearing a pair of sweat pants and a ratty, oversized Beatles shirt. âHow did you get in?âÂ
âYour RA let us in; sorry for the interruption, just had to deliver this idiot.â Brian gave Rogerâs shoulder a nudge. Roger is looking at anything but Ash. His latest drink had hit him about the same time as he got to her block, and now that he can smell the vanilla candle she likes to burn in her room just beyond her, he just wants to curl up and go to sleep under her duvet. Or fuck her. Heâs not quite sure.
âCan I return to sender?â She asks without hesitation, and Roger rolls his eyes. Freddie shoves him forward.
âNo.âÂ
Ash doesnât move, just frowns as Roger stumbles into her space, and sheâs automatically got a hand on his chest to steady him. Roger doesnât seem like heâs there completely of his own free will, but he doesnât move away from her, even as both Brian and Freddie leave, muttering something about him being âher problem nowâ.
âCare to explain?â She asked, gently walking him backwards and closing her door behind herself. The two of them make their way to the common area, and Roger sits up on the kitchen counter as Ash pours him a glass of water.
âNot really.â He said, sipping the water loudly and swinging his legs so his heels kick the cupboards below. Ash looks like the very sight of him exhausts her, but she rests her hands on her thighs, pressing herself against his legs to still them. âWe can fuck whoever we want, Ash.â He says, seriously, and he sees the exact moment she realised the reason for his forced meeting, and he watched her expression fall.
âYeah of course.â She agrees, crestfallen expression turning quickly to faux apathy. âDid you have fun?â But her heart wasnât in it.
âThey pulled me away, brought me here before anything really happened.â He huffed, taking another long sip. Ash stepped away, yawning loudly and sinking into a chair at the dining table. After a beat, Roger hums thoughtfully. âAsh, what do I mean to you?â And itâs so nonchalant it actually hurts Ash a little.
âI think thatâs a really shitty thing to ask right now.â Her answer is automatic, she canât look at him. âAnd I think youâre drunk.âÂ
âAsh...â It does register in his mind that heâs said the wrong thing, and it breaks his heart to see her too tired to repress her emotions like she usually would in this situation. Perhaps she assumes he wonât even remember this tomorrow. âAsh, Iâm sorry, I shouldnât have said anything.â
âYeah, I know.â She says softly. âYouâre always sorry, and Iâm always sorry, and thereâs always someone else that feels like a mistake, even though we donât technically need to apologise.â Shaking her head, she sighs deeply. âThis isnât the time for this conversation.â She admits, and standing, she takes his hand. âCome to bed, Rog.âÂ
When theyâre back in her room, she pulls off her sweat pants and offers them to him without even thinking about it, and heâs quiet, forlorn when he takes them, changing into the borrowed pyjamas. Ash is already tucked into bed when he turns back, back to him, pressed as close to the wall as she can get with her head pillowed on her hand, not even attempting to co-opt some of the pillow for herself. Thereâs sewing equipment out, obviously still in use in the corner of her room, a blouse half sewn and still in the machine where it was left when itâs creation had been interrupted by a knock at the door.
When he slides into bed beside her, reaches out to rest a hand on her shoulder - an apology? a reassurance? just a need for human contact? - she shrugs him off, murmurs a quiet âdonâtâ.Â
âI panicked.â Theyâre back to back, and the bedside lamp has been turned off. Roger isnât even sure if Ash is still awake. He speaks into the silence, made honest by the hour and his inebriation. âYou told me you loved me and I panicked.â
âRoger... I never said that.â Ashâs voice was confused in the darkness, and Roger feels like his whole world has fallen out from under him. Heâs spent over a week considering whether or not sheâd remember; if it had been real, whether sheâd really meant it, but heâs never quite sure which answer would hurt more.
âYou... were mostly asleep.â He admits, and he can feel the way Ash sighs heavily, the shift of her back against his as she tries not to hear it.
âWow, imagine what kinky shit you and the girl from the bar would have gotten up to if Iâd meant it.â She just sounds tired, as though she was trying to end the conversation, as though she hadnât just shattered Rogerâs heart. After a beat, she laughed humorlessly. âWhat are we doing, Roger?â
âI think Brianâs right.â And his words are enough to startle a weak laugh from Ash. âI want this to be about more than sex, I think.â
âYouâre drunk and panicking; donât worry, Iâll still work with the band if this goes south.â Ash says. Roger wonât take that, canât let himself fall into the trap of panicking like heâd already fallen into that night. Turning, Roger presses his lips to the back of her neck, and Ash doesnât like to think about how good it makes her feel.
âIâm sorry-â He tries, but she cuts him off.
âI heard you the first time.â Voice terse, she crosses her arms awkwardly over her chest. âRoger the idea of being with you fucking terrifies me.â She admits, raw and honest, glad he canât see how conflicted she was. âYou were so worried that I was in love with you that you almost slept with someone else, and for what? Were you worried you were losing control of your life? Didnât want to be tied down?â Rogerâs got an arm on her shoulder, rubbing comfortingly as she speaks, and he can feel her shaking.
âI know Iâm not a saint, okay, love?â Roger admits, and Ash takes a long moment to consider his words, leaning back a little into his touch, before answering.
âNeither of us are, Roger, and thatâs why what we have is so good right now.â Her voice has softened, and Roger stays quiet. âWe can talk about it tomorrow.â She says gently, before reaching to link her fingers with his where heâs got his hand on her shoulder. She pulls him closer, and Roger makes a low hum, pressing a quick kiss to her shoulder.
When the morning comes, things are quiet and golden. Neither one knows what to say to the other, but Ash still gets him a cup of tea in the morning, and when he sees the cup with the little cat face on it, Roger feels something tighten in his chest.Â
âLetâs try this, please.â He asks, expression sincere when he looks at where Ash is tucking herself back into bed, pressing herself against his side. The look she gives him is confused, and then it blooms into something hopeful. âIâm not fucking around here, I mean it.â
When she kisses him, her hand is warm where it had been holding her teacup, and sheâs smiling against her lips. Thereâs a tension in her shoulders, and he canât stop playing her words back over again in his head, âthe idea of being with you fucking terrifies meâ and itâs clear that feeling hasnât vanished over night.
But sheâs willing to try.

Sansâ Death in Handplates: WHO (I mean what) DUNNIT? (Featuring a Little Bit of Orthopedics
(Handplates is by @zarla-s)
Note: I am not trying to be morbid. I am not trying to be creepy. Iâve been studying medicine lately, and I've been reading up on diagnosing other people. I just thought it would be a fun thing to do and a great opportunity to teach others a little about medicine. Note that just like "Misery" itself, this does contain serious themes that may bring up trauma for some people, so if you do not feel comfortable with this, please hit the back arrow now. Thank you.)
In Tumblr user and artist zarla-s' comic "Misery", Sans dies of an unknown illness and Papyrus attempts to move on. Zarla has also mentioned that this comic was a "barely disguised vent [series] about death", making it a series entailing high personal expression. It's all beautifully sad, but there's just one problem...the illness is unknown.
So I, DETECTIVE PIKACHU, ask you to join me on the hunt to find this illness.
The good news is that Sans is a skeleton. This rules out all illnesses with other body systems, narrowing it down to a nice few hundred or so. (Don't worry! We'll only go through the more well-known ones.)
Iâve chosen to lay out six culprits here:
-Arthritis
-Osteogenesis Imperfecta
-Osteoporosis
-Osteosarcoma
-Osteomyelitis
-Acute
-Chronic
-Paget's disease of bone
Because most of âMiseryâ happened ex post facto, we don't have the time or the interest to dive into much information about Sans' illness However, we do know a few things. This illness is:
 -Fatal (uh, yeah)Â
-Chronic. Chronic illnesses are illnesses that last for months or years. This isn't a very sudden (acute)Â illness. If it was acute, it would likely result in Sans very quickly falling down and Papyrus having to take him to the hospital.Â
-Progressive, meaning it gets worse over time instead of better. No, it does not mean the average Tumblr user, although medical terminology can be very confusing (that was a joke hardy har har).
-Very hard to treat. Alphys said there was nothing she could do for him, at least at the stage the illness was detected. If the current most brilliant mind in the Underground cannot do anything for him, I doubt anyone can. (https://zarla-s.tumblr.com/post/143139923780/i-dont-have-a-caption-for-this-sorry)
-Very unnoticeable, or at least noticeable enough to hide from at least one person until the final stages.Â
In addition, we have to analyze Sans' demographics: Sans is male and approximately in his 20s.
So let's examine our first culprit: ARTHRITIS.
By far the most famous skeletal illness, arthritis involves the joints becoming inflamed. This results in them becoming reddened, painful, and swollen.Â
Arthritis is chronic, which fits one of the requirements. In addition, it is also particularly difficult to treat, with most treatments being attempts to increase quality of life without treating the overall condition.Â
Whether or not it can be hidden from others depends on pain tolerance and how severe the arthritis is. And while *some* cases of arthritis can be progressive, it differs from person to person.
But while arthritis can decrease quality of life tremendously, it is not fatal in the least. And while arthritis affects both men and women, it affects women more often than men. In addition, it famously affects older people, specifically those 60 and older. So Sans obviously does not fit in this demographic.
We can clearly see Sans does not have arthritis.

https://www.emedicinehealth.com/ask_rheumatoid_arthritis_life_expectancy/article_em.htm
https://www.rheumatoidarthritis.org/ra/symptoms/progression/
-Arthritis
-Osteogenesis Imperfecta
-Osteoporosis
-Osteosarcoma
-Osteomyelitis
-Acute
-Chronic
-Paget's disease of bone
The second culprit is osteogenesis imperfecta.Â
Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, is very straightforward. The individual is born with brittle bones that can break easily, and sometimes for no apparent reason. is very rare, but is still relatively well-known. (And what's very interesting is that individuals who have this tend to have blue sclera from the defective connective tissue that comes with osteogenesis imperfecta. But we all know Sans' eyes are blue for a different reason...)
Osteogenesis imperfecta is definitely chronic, so we can knock it off that list. It is also almost impossible to completely treat, with most treatments aiming at boosting bone strength rather than reversing the condition. And all ages and both genders seem to be affected by the disease equallyÂ
As with arthritis, whether or not the disease.is progressive differs from person to person.
But the only ways you can die from the disease are either respiratory complications in infancy and childhood or if complications arise from one of the factures, which both we'd definitely notice in the comic rather than Sans falling over on a hill (https://zarla-s.tumblr.com/post/141061451866/its-always-too-soon). In fact, the disease would be so noticeable that if Sans had this condition, we'd know from the first few pages.
So we can safely say Sans does not have this condition.

-Arthritis
-Osteogenesis Imperfecta
-Osteoporosis
-Osteosarcoma
-Osteomyelitis
-Acute
-Chronic
-Paget's disease of bone
Ah, yes. The third culprit. Osteoporosis.
Also relatively well-known and a meme (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3NUIrVivPhso). Osteoporosis mainly involves bones greatly reducing in density. This causes pain, stiffness, a remarkedly changed stature, and most importantly, a higher chance of fractures. (I have lots of relatives and their neighbors who have this, and most of the time, even my hugs are little more than glorified pats.) Things like playful punches, bumps into the corner of the table, and tripping and falling turn from annoying to dangerous and fatal, especially for a 20-something-year-old. In fact, there are theories that the reason why Sans has 1 HP is because he has osteoporosis (https://www.google.com/amp/s/aminoapps.com/c/undertale/amp/blog/why-sans-has-1-hp-can-bleed/YWjI_bu1GjaVaNqa0pQ61oLaD4GozkE), but this is only for the regular Undertale timeline. In Handplates, we all know that Sans has 1 HP because of the nature of Gaster's experiment.Â
Osteoporosis is definitely chronic and progressive.Â
As with osteogenesis imperfecta, the only way you can die from osteoporosis is from complications with a fracture. And while it is difficult to treat, it is not so impossible that the most brilliant mind in the Underground wouldn't be able to do anything about it. It would be easy to hide in the early stages, but as it advances, it would become harder and harder to hide, which is something Papyrus would notice for months.
So we can see that Sans does not have osteoporosis. Sorry, meme world!
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/11/151108084919.htm
-Arthritis
-Osteogenesis Imperfecta
-Osteoporosis
-Osteosarcoma
-Osteomyelitis
-Acute
-Chronic
-Paget's disease of bone
Osteosarcoma, the third "osteo-" on this list, is more commonly known as bone cancer.
Osteosarcoma is, without a doubt, chronic. And while survival rates continue to go up due to advancing technologies, it still sits at 30 to 80 percent (the chances are probably worse for Sans because of his HP), depending on how early the cancer is caught. And as a society, we all know that any cancer under a 100 percent survival rate is a cancer that needs, that asks to be beaten.
Is it noticeable? Can it be treated? Those can be answered with a big fat IT DEPENDS. If the cancer has affected an arm or a leg, it would be very noticeable, but a bone like the ribs, the clavicle (collarbone), or the scapula (shoulder blade), could be relatively easily hidden by, say, a few layers of clothing or a hood. And treatment depends on the cancer's stage, available technology, and the patients' needs and desires.
Since there is nothing about this that gives any indication that "no, Sans definitely does not have this", this looks like the most likely culprit so far. But just to make sure nothing else is a likely candidate, let's continue down the list.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteosarcoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20351052
https://www.stjude.org/disease/osteosarcoma.html
-Arthritis
-Osteogenesis Imperfecta
-Osteoporosis
-Osteosarcoma
-Osteomyelitis
-Acute
-Chronic
-Paget's disease of bone
Osteomyelitis is when a bone becomes infected. Symptoms include a fever, chills, nausea, and swelling and pain at the infection site. (It's something I use in my stories whenever I want Sans or Papyrus to be sick, wink wink.)
When untreated, it is progressive, but it is pretty difficult to ignore simply because of how painful and weakening it is.
It can be hidden from others at its earliest stages depending on where it is, but eventually Papyrus would definitely notice Sans' pernicious fever and chills, and would most likely carry him all the way to the hospital. Is it fatal? It can be, but not in most cases.Â
Treatments such as removal of the infected bone, antibiotics, and even draining the bone of the bacteria are available, making this the most treatable of all the conditions we have. In addition, osteomyelitis is definitely acute. It is possible to go home and look at your foot and go "oh crap, my bone's infected, guess I'll head over to the doctors, get treatment, and go back home and move on from this". Okay, maybe not like that. But you get the picture.Â
Yeah...Sans DEFINITELY doesn't have this.

-Arthritis
-Osteogenesis Imperfecta
-Osteoporosis
-Osteosarcoma
-Osteomyelitis
-Acute
-Chronic
-Paget's disease of bone
Paget's disease of bone is a disease that interferes with bone destruction and regrowth. Your bones don't normally just add on. Osteoblasts add new, stronger bone, while osteoclasts take away bone that is usually old and weak. However, in Paget's disease of bone, the osteoblasts are unusually active, which causes bones to become fragile and misshapen.Â
It is chronic, and slowly but surely progressive.
However, there is no way you can possibly die from Paget's disease of bone or even suffer ill health effects that spread beyond the affected bone. And while not easily treatable, it can most certainly be helped by medicine that helps to regulate bone growth. In addition, there is no way it can be not easily noticeable, as a hallmark of this disease is unusual changes in bone structure. Also, it normally affects men in their 40's or older, and we know for a fact that Sans is not forty.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pagets-disease-of-bone/symptoms-causes/syc-20350811?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=abstract&utm_content=Pagets-disease-of-bone&utm_campaign=Knowledge-panel
https://www.medicinenet.com/pagets_disease/article.htm
So the culprit must be bone cancer. After further research, I discovered a likely offshoot of bone cancer called Ewingâs sarcoma.
Ewingâs sarcoma is a type of bone cancer that is almost eerily specific. It is almost exclusive to males around the age of 20, which is a good bet of what Sans is throughout âMiseryâ. Ewingâs sarcoma also has a grim life prognosis compared to other types of bone cancers. Normally, the survival rate is 80 percent if caught early, but for someone Sans' age, the life expectancy for Ewingâs sarcoma is a tragic 30 percent. And with someone with Sansâ condition, that percentage would most likely be much lower.
Again, it would be progressive, but easy for Sans to hide from Papyrus, at least in the early stages.Â
Now, there is one iffy part of Ewing's sarcoma; treatment. Despite it being a life-threatening disease, there are multiple effective treatments. This would include surgery, which is impossible if we're assuming Sans would have it where he could hide it, like his ribs or his clavicle.
For radiation therapy and chemotherapy, they are both effective treatments.
But put yourself in Sans' shoes for a moment. Think about it. Both chemotherapy and radiation therapy can and will give you side effects that will greatly decrease your quality of life. But most importantly, they would put Papyrus- the most important person in your life-through watching you go through them.Â
Alphys would then have to make the heartbreaking decision to send Sans home to die.
And that, my friends, is the crux of "Misery".

SOME CORRESPONDENCE OF SC
Correspondence between SC and JM (a member of the accountability panel), November 2014
SC Â Â Â 11/29/14Â Â Â to JM
Dear JM,
it was nice to see you other other day at the demo....im not exactly sure how to start this email but our exchange keeps repeating on me...so i thought i would write to you... i was a bit irrked that you seemed surprised that I said I was feeling quite shit and when you asked me whats up etc
I'm starting to think you have no idea what the impact the bloomsbury ten stuff has had on me... i wanted to write to you so you had some type of idea...
as Im sure your aware everything sparked up again recently ( it actually sparked up (intensely) again a few weeks before Kâs piece of writing but i wont go into that here ). and there is now a name and shame blog doxing me and the others and accusing us of various crimes.
I know you have not partaken in this and even tried to calm thing down on fb at one point.... but it doesnt help and things are really bad.
there are a BUNCH of people who read our intervention letter who have grossly and purposely falsified what we originally wrote -  you know many of these people  - ( ie NBa, RA-D, P, STA, etc many others ) and im sure you have seen this stuff circulating recently and over the last few years.
they accuse us of at least these things:
- victim blaming
-denying it happened
-calling her a liar
- asking for more evidence
- asking about her sexual history
-bullying and harassing her
-saying it was her fault.
yet anyone who read / reads the original letter and who has basic comprehension skills can clearly see that none of these things happened. these are projections onto what we wrote and not our words at all. obviously we cannot even defend ourselves publicly to refute these malicious claims without picking over detail and i think no one thinks it would be appropriate or right to do this as both the first email and our response have details of âŠ. This has left space for others to twist and turn and lie about what we originally wrote.
Im not saying you should agree with what we wrote or our intervention but seriously these lies about what happened are more than malicious and completely untrue. equally as for the claims that we were were hiding behind anonymity  -  we went to BOTH follow up meetings after we wrote the letter and everyone knew who we were -  we also agreed to go to a third meeting but that never happened .... the only reason people have my name now is because i went to a meeting and made myself known like everyone else. i hardly think this is hiding ...
---
i want you to understand the effect this has had on me not just in the last month or so but over the last few years as well.
firstly i had so much self doubt to the point that i felt that i WAS a victim blaming rape apologist and that what we had written was of that effect. I had to read and re read what we wrote over a couple of hundred times ( and that is not an exaggeration )  -  i have read it over and over to try and understand peoples accusations...finally in desperation I showed it privately to (redacted) who were not part of writing the original statement -  from (redacted) to (redacted) - i showed it to very smart and honest people-  EVERYBODY was fucking shocked at the way what we wrote had been interpreted. It is only with the most decontextualised and ungenerous reading of about one line that you could move to a victim blaming reading...... this response /  projection is complete gas lighting and really hurtful and dangerous. ( esp for me as i have pretty serious mental health issues)
over the last weeks, basically after K wrote her piece, i repeatedly felt suicidal and got very very ill... al had to take time off to stay with me and look after me. I couldnt walk i couldnt eat and i couldnt sleep. i was completely haunted by the trial by social media ( i actually still am). and the very malicious smears against me and the others. I basically had a complete breakdown and had to be put in touch with a crisis mental health team and was very close to hospitalization.... and although i am on the mend now i am very far from being well and am dosed up to the eyeballs on meds and still have very low days. this has had an extreme impact on me.
Im not sure if you know this but i lost my father at the beginning on this year.... its really been the year from hell. I was just starting to recover from his death and then this stuff comes up and was the final straw and knocked me sideways...
many people of twiiter who tweet about this like its a fucking sport know not only that i lost my dad this year but that i have stress triggered mental health problems... this doesnt seem to stop them from massively false and malicious tweets. I have had PERSONAL abuse from R and there are a lot of men who have taken a delight in taking a stand against me ( victim blaming rape appologist ) and think its fine to stick my name on a blog and spread lies about me ( obviously i deserve it).....
to get proof of who was saying what I literally had to witness my own online abuse in real time as a live twitter feed - Â i had to screen grab the lot before people could deny or delete what they were saying or block me - please try to imagine what its like to photograph your own abuse as spectacle on twitter. ....
anyway i have proof of a lot of what and who has been saying what now...
----
to be honest im not even telling you the half of what has gone on , on the impact this has had on me and others and of how upset i am by the sheer dishonesty, cruelty and sadistic abuse that has happened. ontop of that no one says anything and people like RA-D, M and NBa and P go on as if nothing has happened.
---
i know you havent joined in in any of this and you didnt ask for it to happen. I have to be honest with you though - Â neither you , JB, SB, or MC [the accountability panel] have ever said anything and this really hurts. you were all part of the original group who wrote the letter and tried to sort things out.... no one has said anything and it has spiralled to the point that it has.... you all have been able to walk away.... it was very hard to have you bounce up to me at the demo and be surprised that i was not ok or ask why i was not ok.....
i am basically known on twitter as a rape appologist for things i havenât done and havenât said. have another look at what was written  - we never disputed what [REDACTED]  said once -  we criticised the process as we said we didnât think things were being dealt with in a serious or appropriate way -  we NEVER disputed what she said or said it was her fault and we always said that it needed to be dealt with... its written in the statement which im sure you still have..
i dont really know why im writing this... i know you disagree with what we wrote  - i disagree with what was originally written  - but never did i think you were coming from a bad place -  i know you were trying to do the right thing.... i feel like people assumed the very very worst of me and others and that it is grossly ungenerous and now is dishonest and cruel.
i dont know what to say really - im still not ok about any of this and now every time i go on social media or to a demo I must wonder if i must see people like RA-D. NBa etc acting like nothing bad has happened, acting like they are not abusive and dishonest and that there will be no repercussion for how they have treated me and others.
â ( screen grabs sent including death threat screen grab)
i have plenty more screen grabs that just a very very small selection..
(redacted)
if you think about it " pls remind me who im missing out"
he purposely left my name out ( he knew i was part of b10 ) then asked people to remind him of my name in the  separate next tweet ... please run that around in your head and think about what that means and why he did that... he takes a massive pleasure in being purposely abusive to me personally... its a fucking sport to him..... and no body said anything.
âââ
sorry to keep emailing  -  only to say i probably have left my flat less than 15 times in the past two months /  two and half months since this has kicked off.... im basically non functional and i spent about a month uncontrollably weeping for most of the time i was awake... quite literally  -  u can ask anyone from a to DG or MH  to the crisis team or my dr -  who took it in turns looking after me during the worst parts of it.
that i have to put up with abusive men like RA-D or women like NBa and P ( because i deserve it for being a rape apologist ) is beyond a joke.
you know very little about my life and nor does anyone else - i have NOT had an easy life , the statistical chances of  me being relatively sane , functional and with a good post grad education are much less than 1 percent.
and now i have to put up with a bunch of very well educated privileged student activists who I know to have high comprehension and reading skills fucking lying about what i/others have written and done is a fucking joke.
and that they purport to do this in the name of countering gendered structural violence is a fucking disgrace.
JMÂ Â Â 11/29/14Â Â Â to SC
Hey S,
I had no idea it had gotten this bad and that it was ongoing.
DG mentioned some of this to me a few weeks ago but but then I had only seen a small amount of the backlash on M's facebook wall, which is what I responded to. It seemed like it had flared up around K's post but was beginning to die down. I don't use twitter that much, partly because of the irritating dogmatism and pernicious attitudes it seems to produce (case in point), so I hadn't seen any of the stuff on there. I either don't follow, don't know, or have stopped following the people you mentioned and have generally distanced myself from a lot of the left-crowd in the past year for a number of reasons - but partly because I find the language and mentality which seems to have developed so off-putting that I no longer feel a part of the same discourse - the result is that I'm perhaps more out of the loop than you were aware.
Whatever type of anarchism it is that justifies this kind of behaviour I don't want any part of, and can't think of anything more willfully destructive than posting people's names on the internet or threatening people with violence. I can understand why [REDACTED] is angry about what happened but I can't for the life of me understand how this will help anything beyond a misplaced desire for arbitrary retribution.
You know my feelings about what was written, but as far as I'm concerned it is in the past. I'm sure that if we could go back in time everybody would have gone about things differently on all sides. What matters to me is where people's heart is - I have no doubt whatsoever that people like yourself and MH are good people with the best intentions. I wouldn't maintain the fondness I hold for both of you if I didn't. JBR and some of the others I'm less sure about - there are some good parts to him, but I don't trust him enough to be as close as I once was; being polemic or 'critical' often seems more important to him than generosity of spirit, and he can consequently be quite nasty to people with very little reason. He is far better at sowing division than anything else. I think RB is a good man but sometimes lets his friendship with JB cloud his judgement, as it did mine at points in the past. I certainly don't harbour ill will towards him, even if I felt initially hurt by him, and I'm sad we're not as close to each other because of all this stuff - I feel like I lost an important friend. I haven't come across RL in the past few years but I'd like to hope we'd be able to clear the air one day if we did cross paths. I've never had any reason to doubt she's a lovely person who got caught up in an extremely difficult situation and any hostility she expressed was an understandable product of that.
As for now, I don't think anybody has any answers to this stuff and if we're going to come up with anything of meaning or value it will require thinking through the kind of criticisms K made in her post, many of which are inarguable. At the same time we can't just ignore issues when they arise for the sake of convenience. Unfortunately the political climate seems completely anathema to learning anything productive from what has happened and looks to bully people (how much easier) on social media instead - hence my increasing sense of frustration with the 'scene' and my desire to become more distant from it.
I haven't been staying silent because I'm okay with what's happening - I simply haven't encountered it except on Mâs facebook wall, where I intervened accordingly. If this starts to happen again send me a message and I will offer whatever weight I have as someone who criticised the original statement. I'm wary of putting something up out of the blue lest it simply stir the whole thing up again, but if others are doing that anyway let me know.
I hope you're doing okay. Â if you want to have a drink and chat about any of this or life generally just drop me a line.

Correspondence between SC and JM (a member of the accountability panel), April 2015
to JM
and are any other accountability group members coming to the meeting?
JMÂ Â Â 4/26/15Â Â Â to sc
Yep that's fine for me - as to the others I don't know, I prodded them the other week but no one replied. I think I'm right in saying that no one was opposed to talking on principle but that there were reservations about it being a larger meeting, what the objective was, how it might be framed etc. If we're going with the 6th then I'll send a message and see what they say.
SCÂ Â Â 4/26/15Â Â Â to JM
no one is going to frame anything .i have always been open with you about my thoughts on this...i think its better for all of us that other people, who are wise and have good politics esp gender politics... are there to advise us all.... i would like people to stop abusing me for stuff i havent done, written , said thought, think etc.. i dont think its a big ask for the group to come considering they were at the heart of the process. i know none of them have been abusive towards me... however they were intitated a process that has become way out of control...i think people need to face up to what has and is happening in an honest way. as i have said many times i have evidence of people smearing me and abuseing me online. there is a very male core to alot of this abuse. i need to make this stop. my endurance for this has run out and its making me exreamly ill. please communicate to the the seriousness of this situation.
and apart from myself i ( unlike all the liars say) worry a great deal about [REDACTED]..I am totally unable to approach her to try and get aid with resolution for her, which she clearly needs.
basically JM i am not despite what many people write about me online , some type of evil bastard and neither is anyone else. the way we have been and are being treated is unjustifiable and it needs to stop, be confronted and people need to take responsibilty for their actions. i am sick of being hounded online and being villified to a large invisible audience. i am sick of people justifying their abuse cos they think i deserve it. - that actually is victim blaming and it needs to stop.
SC Â Â Â 4/26/15Â Â Â to JM
i have a folder with 6 months worth of abuse  -  which is about 300 tweets, thats is just a tiny tiny percentage of what has been going on. within this folder i have a sub folder of people joking about putting me in a black bin liner, stabbing me, glassing me and saying that i should be killed.  when are people going to wake up?? i am a real person, this has a real imapct on me.  i suffer real mental health issues, which are classed as a severe disability. do u understand that if i have a sever breakdown i have zero garentee of " coming out" of a psycotic state? have you any idea what it is like to live with that thought?
how can i get this into peoples heads here??? i have STRESS TRIGGERED PSYCOSIS. - Â i cant really understand how this cannot at least move people to take some kind of action? or is it that they think that cos i am a " victim blamer" ( which i am not ) that i should just suffer the abuse that i am receiving?
do they need doctors notes? i have access to 18 years worth. i am not making my health problems up....
SC Â Â Â 4/26/15Â Â Â to JM
do u realise that this is not going to go away? i cant live like this.
they cant justify their abuse. because thats what it is.
SC Â Â Â 4/26/15Â Â Â to JM
i hope that all of you in the accountability group will stop  not see this as an attack on you all and start to face up to what is actually going on here. i incuded people like np, tz and dg on the list becuase i am hopeing that you might talk with them and listen to them about this, you all clearly have zero respect for me and dont believe me.. but myabe you will listen to them? some other perspectives?
JM Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to SC
I don't think I've given you any reason to feel I have zero respect for you, Sophie, or the others. I'm coming to the meeting - I'm just relating as best I can what other people feel. I understand their caution, and I can't force them to do anything. I will say that I worry about seeing me or the others as the solution to this - ultimately it isn't coming from us, and none of us share personal relationships or even a political outlook any more with the people involved. To me this is exactly the problem with abandoning the notion of being part of a community with obligations to each other, and what happens if there's no process in place that can bring closure to a problem - which takes us back to the original disagreements I suppose. This was an issue whether anyone wanted to address it or not.
SC Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to JM
No one expects any forcing. Some of those in the accountability group are pretty close to some extremely abuseive people. I find it abhorrent. Maybe JB MC Sb etc might well talk to them off social media? Â I don't know really. It seems odd that a group of people who used to be my friends and who profess to want to deal with gendered violence just shrug their shoulders and say this is a consequence of what u wrote. Or something similar. I have pointed out a number of times how what we wrote has been undeniably and maliciously distorted - and then this distortion used as a pretext for abuse. I m not the only person who think this, I have shown the text to NP, MV, TZ, Â DG and other people I trust and asked them to read it for the things that we all have been accused of, (redacted) and said that I would apologies if it had blamed her, I lost complete trust in my own capacity to have faith in my own motivations and actions. That is actually gas lighting. Ikon wits not coming from u ( well I actually have at least one horrible grab from SB) but a lot of it is coming fro. People who were on that list or went to the meetings. Plenty people are making excuses for all this is more than shocking... It's like some bastard of Lord of the flies and the Salam witch trails on acid. I have men beating up on me online for things they know I haven't said. And even if I had said them it would still be unjustifiable.
SC Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to JM
JM I'm sorry I'm a 35 year old working class woman with severe mental health problems. I was (redacted) and had (redacted). Before I went to university, at 25 my life was spent in (redacted) institutions and women's (redacted). Against statistical odds of probably less than one percent I have a post grad and had hoped to do a PhD. My life was for the first time on 30 years starting to settle. This is ruining me. It's making me ill. I have these disgusting middle class pricks hounding me online for sport and cred. I'm not MH and I'm not JBR and this b10 stuff does not play out in an equal way for us all. For me it is extreeamly traumatic due to who I am and the life that I have lived. As I told you it's making me ill, I am extreeamly lucky I haven't ended up in hospital. Please take time to get educate yourself about schizo effective effective disorder and its relationship to stress.
I hope that the other accountability group people will come to the meeting and stop being complicit and cowardly.
SC Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to JM
I am hoping for some type of collective process or intervention. If this doesn't happen I am forced to take matters into my own hands alone to stop people abuseing me.
JM Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to SC
I think it's best I just relate the things you're saying to me directly to the others because, as I've said, I'm coming to the meeting.
Are you alright with that, and if so, is there anything from this thread you'd want me not to pass on?
JM Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to SC
to be clear I mean just c/ping the above so they can hear it themselves and decide accordingly. I don't think I can be any more use as a go-between now
SC Â Â Â 4/27/15Â Â Â to JM
If you think it will help I suppose you should. Please do not copy sections but the whole exchange. I feel angry that I am I a position where I must disclose the shit life I have lived. And which still makes me feel a great deal of shame. At least maybe I won't have to go over it in A meeting publicly.
If I find that anyone had forwarded my email exchange beyond people who were in the accountability group I will be more than angry. Equally if it is subject to gossip or distortion on or off social media and I shall be more than upsset.
Thanks for trying to help.
Correspondence between SC and ZB (who had acted as a representative of [REDACTED] during the accountability meetings), October 2014
HI ZB,
I am writing to you as I have been told by people that we have in common and that i trust that you are solid feminist with good politics. I will try to keep this brief. i am not sure how much you are aware of what has been going on recently and for years. I do not have the energy to go over all of it.
The situation cannot go on as it is. I am getting very ill, I have sever stress triggered schizoaffective disorder. I have lost my father this year too. I have comrades and my partner caring for me, so don't worry about that.
I am worried about  [REDACTED]. ( not [person with same initials] the other one )
here are some of her tweets, i have a million more, this is a random selection. I have seen worse.
â ( screen grabs of [REDACTED] and other actors)
there are a lot of lies being peddled here. Of course i would be extremely angry too i if i thought anyone had denied my suffering and my experience, victim blamed and asked me to evidence it. ( actually the position that i am in now )
there are a network of actors here, between me and you and her, who have deliberately falsified what we originally wrote and did and have done since.  I think they do this to make a political point and to normalize a certain political practice. They can all read well. Im sure a;lot of them have read the original text that was written  ( i have attached it here along with my own writing ).
The ONLY reason myself and others have not defended ourselves in a public way is because we am worried about [REDACTED] safety and sanity . I cannot be a punch bag for these people. they are not her friends/ comrades either and not helping her at all. I feel she needs support but i cannot approach her.
There are a host of people getting a lot of pleasure out of all of this. I have screen grabs of the lot. in amongst them hide some very abusive men.  I have hard evidence of men abusing me on twitter and using [REDACTED]âs trauma as an excuse to do so. there are a bunch of women too who have played a very big part in escalating this to the situation as it currently manifests. I have had to  witness all  abuse play out as a spectacle on twitter.  I have ( had to ) screen grabbed the lot.
I am not asking help with anything other than a good support network for her. I feel that she is surrounded by some very dubious people, with bad politics and ethics. Â People who call themselves feminists and communists, who are so far away from that its unreal.
I am sorry to pull you into this but i am worried that lives are at risk. i know you have just had a baby ( congratulations) and i imagine you are time short and tired. If you can think of any thing that might help please let me know.
Solidarity,
SC
ZBÂ Â Â 10/13/14Â Â Â To SC
Hi S. I will use the form on the tumblr to ask for it to be taken down. I don't know who is running it, I was only aware of it after A told me about it yesterday. I have no reason to think that whoever is behind it will listen to me but I will message them.
I have not seen [REDACTED] for almost a year, nor am I able to spend much time on anything political at present as I'm heavily pregnant. Beyond messaging the blog post there isn't anything else I can do at present.
ZB
SC Â Â Â 10/13/14Â Â Â to ZB
Ok thanks for writting back. I worry for [REDACTED] I really do . Her identity seems very invested in all of this persecution and lies. I don't know how aware she really is in all of this or how much she has been gas lit by others. I am sure you can read and I  sure you can see that we never blamed her nor ignored or denied that it happened or her trauma. We disagreed and intervened  in all of it that is for sure  - we disagreed with how the process was manifesting. but none of us have ever bullied her denied that it happened or asked her for more proof or any of those vicious claims that are currently circulating .
Anyway thanks for your solidarity and for writing to the blog. I wish you luck with your pregnancy. X

4. Correspondence with an email list including JM from accountability panel, March 2015. This correspondence took place around DGâs banning from Goldsmiths Occupation. DG was not part of B10.
SC to List
sorry but this is not going away.. Â - Â an argument about safer spaces - will NOT sort this out!
this is too much bs, i need some support i want to confront this its a pack of fucking lies i am sick to my teeth of this.. i want to call it...it absolutely needs to stop and be put right.
J M - YOU WERE IN THE ACCOUNTABILITY GROUP WHICH HAS BEEN COMPLETELY QUIET.!!!.... you need to meet with me and others and this needs to stop! im AM SICK of people spreading lies about me and others and abusing ME AND MY COMRADES on the web for things that were not said and done! I do not give 2 fucks about what any1 thinks the b10's intentions were.... i know what we wrote and what was said in the meetings after.. i also have a ton of screen grabs about all the malicious lies been spread about us...
i have cc'd Ad. into this who has been purged from SF. i hope he will help us sort this out. MB and U and J all vouch for him.
i CANNOT HANDLE THIS ANYMORE. IT NEEEDS TO BE PUT TO REST!
MB Â Â Â 3/28/15Â Â Â to SC, kD, AL, B, AS, D, CB, DG, JM, JBR, AP, Ad.
Fucking right!
Apparently people have walked out of the occupation due to this, it wasn't democratically agreed upon at all. the occupation statement and the people behind it are fucking idiots.
JM [accountability panel]Â Â Â 3/28/15Â Â Â to SC, kD, AL, B, AS, D, CB, DG, JM, JBR, AP, Ad.
Oh for fucks sake.
Alright, I've replied with this for now.
"I don't know where you have got your information from but as someone who was involved in trying to address the situation you're referring to I want to make it absolutely clear that DG had nothing to do with the B10 statement, and was nothing but helpful to me and others throughout the process. I can't see how suggestions to the contrary can be justified. Banning him or anyone else from giving talks runs counter to everything that was trying to be achieved at that time. For people with no knowledge of what you're referring to it also reads like an extremely serious implication about DG. Please don't put out statements like this without contacting people who actually know about the circumstances, and respect the spirit of their intentions. Get in touch with me or anyone else who was involved if you want to talk about this more, but I strongly suggest you remove this statement and cease implying falsehoods about DG, whether you want him to speak at Goldsmiths or not."
SC - I can only respond to what I see, and have done so when directed to obvious bullshit like this.
AP Â Â Â 3/28/15Â Â Â to SC, kD, AL, B, AS, D, CB, DG, JM, JBR, AP, Ad.
Authoring the thing 'Bloomsbury 10' was so ridiculously stupid. It just sounds so ominous for anyone who hasn't a clue what this is about. I think those involved who havent come forward and defended themselves in writing should probably reconsider as this obviously isnt going away.
SC Â Â Â 3/28/15Â Â Â to kD, AL, B, AS, D, CB, DG, JM, JBR, AP, Ad. Â AK
All, JM,
I really do appreciate that you have made a clarification about DG.. however this for me does not cut it at all as it does NOT address the false claim against b10.
to go over this again, the claims are based on the letter that we wrote to the email list, which i attach again, with my underlined parts.
the claims that are made against us that i have screen grabs of, are :
- we victimed blamed and are rape appologists
- that we harrassed [REDACTED] and made her life hell in the ensuing years
- that we hid under a cloak of anonimity - ( WE WENT TO 2 FOLLOW UP MEETINGS in the following week - Â making it obvious who we were and what we wrote)
- that was said she was lying / Â making it up / Â said it was her fault
PLEASE READ WHAT WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN ON THE STATEMENT!!!!!! Â IT IS ATTACHED!!!!!
to make this really clear pls read what i wrote in another p[rivate email to a member of sf earlier this month in regards to this letter:
----
I am prepared to take responsibility and argue over the contents of a letter i help write, discuss what it means, and the impact of it and its context... i am not prepared to accept falsifications of what was written, nor projections onto it by others of any inherent meaning or imagined bad motivation or intention.......
for example, i think a reading that is used to justify a lot of the victim blaming label attached to me ( and others ) in relation to the letter ( which after all started all this off more or less) Â logically works like this:
the first move is to take a single paragraph out of the context of the whole document ( i mean the paragraph that mentions the accountability panels omission of the discussion of knife play - i think this section is what cause most but not all of the accusations of rape apologia and victim blaming etc)
the second move is then  to do two things with the de-contextualized paragraph:
1) make it stand it and negate every other written word on the b10 letter
2) and importantly then make the following argument:
something like ".. any mention of the context of the knife is TANTAMOUNT TO VICTIM BLAMING...." ... the claim is, the context of the knife is both irrelevant and at the same time any mention of it would only (be to) discredit her account...
er hello???? why do THEY think it discredits her account... (this is not what we ever said..we did however write that we fully acknowledge her account, this it needed serious responses which had already started, wanted dialogue and a different way of dealing with / Â you can read those sections i have highlighted them).. Â ..... this last move.. ( the context is discrediting) is their ( very troubling) projection onto what was intended, meant written, etc etc
im sure you see my point.
please think about the logic of that move....it is very odd and dubious....
-----
the accountability panel were criticised. NOT [REDACTED]!
when is this going to be put to rest..... THE ACCOUNTABILITY PANEL have said NOTHING.. for 3 years!!!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR.
you and others may disagree with me  / b10 questioning and disrupting the process. BUT NOT BY FALSIFYING WHAT WAS WRITTEN>
I have had to put up with 3 YEARS of gaslighting me, having "anarchist" men abusing me personally, of being doxed online. I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE. THIS HAS TO STOP> THIS IS NOT A SAVE DGâs REP CAMPAIGN>
i want a meeting with you JM JB MCe and SB and TJ [all the members of the original accountability panel] and you were ALL in the process and have said NOTHING ABOUT ANY OF THE FUCKING LIES AND ABUSE BEING LEVELED AT ME AND OTHERS.
i am sick of this its BULLSHIT.
i spent 4 years of my fucking life in a (redacted)l. i have a locked and hidden social media account FOR A REASON. I WANT THIS SORTED OUT AND THE TUMBLR DOWN.

mina: i dunno, maybe it's averting typical swimsuit fanservice gags.
ochako: what?
mina: what?
momo: in any case, we should probably start with some basic stretches while we wait for the others.
Tsuyu: "Good thinking...I do this one before aquatic work."
ochako: yeah, dont want to get a cramp in the water, that would just suck.

kagari: holy maiden? do elaborate.
tsukuyo: the holy maiden of kamihama was a magical girl who existed many years ago. she was among the founders of kamihama city, and was said to be very powerful, some even say she had the ability to bestow contracts much like the incubators can. one of the most famous stories is of how she faced off against an incredibly dangerous wraith known as 'Walpurgisnight'.
Miyako: O~O; "This sounds like bad news..."
Mio: "Tch. Sounds like over-complicated horror tales..."
white feather: of course, over the years, it's difficult to tell fact from fiction, but her legend is forever immortalized in kamihama, even as far as to depict her in the winter parade. *places an article on the table of mami playing the holy maiden in the parade*

Bride of the Water God Episode 5 Recap
Yoon So Ah (Shin Se Kyung) drives Lord Habaek (Nam Joo Hyuk) and his servant, Nam Soo Ri to a picnic spot. Lord Habaek notices the same man that spied on their shopping has followed them and parked. He watches the man loosen a bolt, put water on the engine and loosen the lug nuts on So Ahâs tires. He realizes the man is trying to hurt So Ah. He notices a CCTV.
Lord Habaek watches her dream and apologizes. So Ah wakes and asks what heâs sorry about. He changes the subject. He calls to Soo Ri that itâs time to leave. When they arrive at the car, Lord Habaek takes So Ahâs keys and gets behind the wheel. Irked, So Ah is forced to ride in the back seat. As the car drives away, the man watches them.
#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Lord Habaek drives aggressively freaking out So Ah and Soo Ri. The brakes fall just as he knew they would. But when he tries to tap into his powers to stop the speeding car, nothing happens. Lord Habaek detours into a tunnel under construction. He sees the exit it blocked. He opens the sun roof and tells So Ah to follow him up as he goes on top of the roof. Needless to say, So Ah hesitates. Lord Habaek urges her to trust him. She does and it terrified when he tells her they must jump from the car. Lord Habaek swoops her up in his arms. He looks into her eyes and tells her that she belongs to him. Swoon! The water globe surrounds them. He holds her close. Swoon! They land on the ground. He stares into her eyes and asks if sheâs okay. Swoon!
That was a yummy moment. Lord Habaek is drawn to So Ah. She in turn feels his pull. But they arenât ready to admit it yet. He proports that sheâs his servant, thatâs why he cares. She doesnât understand why sheâs drawn to a man that claims to be god, a man she believes more and more. The cinematography was excellent too.
Soo Ri rushes to Lord Habaek thrilled that his powers have returned. He places a rock in Lord Habaekâs hand to test his powers. Lord Habaek drops the rock and declares his powers are gone. Soo Ri is bummed. Lord Habaek assures him his powers will return, he knows it. Lord Habaek tells So Ah that a man tampered with her car. She doesnât believe him. He suggests the CCTV footage be reviewed.
The CCTV footage reveals the culprit, Park Sang Chul. While the police question him, Lord Habaek and So Ah look on from the 1-way window. The police officer states Sang Chul rear ended her. So Ah stares and recalls. She also remembers Sang Chul being negative to her on the street. She recalls Nurse Yoo Sang Yoo repeatedly telling her that Sang Chul called her. The police officer that interrogated Sang Chul joins them. Sang Chul is claiming the rear end accident wrecked his life (points, fine, etc.). The officer canât believe that Sang Chul claims So Ah is at fault. But wait thereâs more, Sang Chul admitted to pushing So Ah from a rooftop!  Sang Chul declares So Ah isnât human because she survived. Sang Chul declares Lord Habaek isnât human either. The officers chuckle at the ludicrous statement.
As they walk home, Lord Habaek says all is well now that the culprit has been caught. He reminds her she hasnât thanked him for saving her lifeâŠtwice.
To that end, So Ah creates a partition and Lord Habaek soaks in the tub on the deck. Soo Ri recalls Lord Habaek spending all day in a bath in the other world. Lord Habaek tells So Ah he wants to try a bubble bath and he needs a new cell phone as his broke when he rescued her. Food and clothes are also added to her to-do list.
So Ah stands in the grocery store and canât believe sheâs shopping for Lord Habaek. Sheâs pleased to find discounted meat doesnât look as fresh as the full price meat.
Flashback to Lord Habaek telling Soo Ri that the man that is stalking So Ah might be the ticket to getting his powers back when So Ah begs him to save her. Soo Ri chides Lord Habaek for using the situation to his advantage. Lord Habaek coolly informs Soo Ri he apologized to So Ah in advance. Recall Lord Habaek apologized to So Ah when she woke from her dream.
So Ah slaves over a hot stove. Turns out sheâs not a good cook. She serves ramen to Lord Habaek who isnât impressed.
So Ah shows Lord Habaek a cooking show with a male chef. She gushes over the male chef. Lord Habaek gets the hint and heads into the kitchen. He expertly wipes up a delicious multi course meal. The relish the meal as they dine on the deck. Gallantly Lord Habaek cuts her meat. He offers a slice of apple and states it represents his apology. When So Ah asks what heâs apologizing for, Lord Habaek asks her a question she finds funny. She laughs. Soo Ri laughs. So Ah stares not comprehending what is funny. So Ah and Soo Ri get a case of the giggles.
Lovely scene on the deck. The camaraderie between the three of them is building. Soo Ri is growing on me. Can I say the cooking in the kitchen was part food porn, part chef porn? Joo Hyuk looked hot cooking and the food looked yummy too!
 Later on the deck So Ah worries that Sang Chulâs actions were a cry for help that she didnât see. She wants to live her life only thinking about what she wants. Lord Habaek informs her thatâs not the type of life fate has ordained for her. He advises her to follow her heart unless she wants to suffer as she has been. So Ah touches his shirt and thanks him for saving her and distracting her. They stare into each otherâs eyes.
Iâm digging their intensity. Not romance, but intensity.
CEO Shin Hoo Ye (Lim Ju-Hwan) takes a break from studying books of jokes. He looks at all his awards for business and muses if he could grasp comedy, life would be perfect. He recalls So Ah telling him they didnât know each other well enough to joke with each other. Assistant Min calls and asks if heâs working late studying comedy. He suggests that dating might help and offers to fix him up. Hoo Ye asks him to get to point. An adjusted meeting and retrieval of the handkerchief from Shi Ja Ya are discussed.
As Ja Ya gets an ego boost from a chat room, Hoo Ye texts and asks for the return of his handkerchief. She gets miffed and gets a tirade response. But she accidently responds in the chat room, not directly to Hoo Ye. The rumors start flying that she likes Hoo Ye but he rejected her. She is horrified. Her manager calls her and complains about her actions.
Furious she goes to Hoo Ye and demands that he make everything right. She strides away. Assistant Min explains that Ja Ya is upset about rumors about âtheir relationshipâ. Ja Ya gets more irked with her managers calls and tells her not to argue publicly with her power CEO cousin. Ja Ya snaps that Hoo Ye isnât her cousin. She takes his handkerchief and throws it on the ground.
Bi Ryeon finds Lady Moo Ra swimming in her pool. Sheâs not happy with the visit. Bi Ryeon says maybe itâs time they find the guy the high priest foretold. Moo Ra scoffs that Bi Ryeon shouldnât believe in silly things like that. Bi Ryeon explains his strategy is to tell Lord Habaek that heâll hand over his stone when Moo Ra hands over her. He advises her to say the same. Sheâs unimpressed with his plan. She hands him So Ahâs business card. Moo Ra says Lord Habaek is utilizing his servant So Ah. Moo Ra shares she doesnât think So Ah knows Lord Habaek is a god.
So Ah isnât happy to find herself in Lord Habaekâs room when she wakes. Lord Habaek coolly reminds her that she got drunk last night and crawled to his room to sleep it off. Sheâs further embarrassed when Soo Ri sees her leaving Lord Habaekâs room and asks if they slept together. She denies and dashes away.
Bi Ryeon calls Soo Ri surprising him and Lord Habaek. Bi Ryeon instructs Soo Ri to have Lord Habaek meet him. Lord Habaek realizes that Moo Ra found Bi Ryeon. Soo Ri worries about meeting with Bi Ryeon without Lord Habaekâs power intact, it could put So Ah in danger. So Ah overhears. Sheâs not happy when she realizes the car accident was a mechanism to get Lord Habaekâs powers back. She gives Lord Habaek a piece of her mind and storms away. Soo Ri goes after her. He explains Lord Habaek was sure he could save So Ah and get his powers back. So Ah doesnât like being used. Lord Habaek tells Soo Ri itâs time to go. Soo Ri tells So Ah the sooner he and Lord Habaek return to the other world, the better for her and them. Soo Ri follows Lord Habaek out of the house.
So Ah decides to join Lord Habaek and Soo Ri to meet the god. She claims sheâs going to get payment for all the moneyâs sheâs spent for care and feeding.
When they arrive at Bi Ryeonâs building, they look at the modern high-rise building. So Ah spins a tale of once being pursued by the wealthy man who she rejected. The flashback reveals he left the country without telling her. When Bi Ryeon opens the door, So Ah stares in shock. He smiles. She faints. Inside Bi Ryeon murmurs his understanding why he was drawn to So Ah. He stares at Lord Habaek and states the god stones donât disappear even though he has no powers. When So Ah stirs she sees Bi Ryeon and faints again. Lord Habaek tells Bi Ryeon to give him the stone. Bi Ryeon refuses. He does offer to reconsider if Moo Ra gives him her stone. When So Ah stirs she sees Bi Ryeon and faints again.
Bi Ryeon mocks Lord Habaek for his human hunger. Lord Habaek replies those pains make him stronger and able to be a better king. Lord Habaek stands to leave. Bi Ryeon tells Lord Habaek to leave So Ah with him. When Bi Ryeon goes to touch her, Lord Habaek intervenes with a steely stare. Love it!
Soo Ri canât believe Bi Ryeonâs bold refusal of Lord Habaekâs request. It appears without power, Lord Habaek cannot order Bi Ryeon to return the god stones. Heâs between a rock and a hard place.
Lord Habaek has to piggy back Soo Ri out. In the elevator Soo Ri worries that neither Moo Ra or Bi Ryeon will return the god stones.
Assistant Min tells Hoo Ye if So Ah has signed his offer for her land. Hoo Ye doesnât have the contract and isnât surprised considering the land has been in her family for generations. He muses that So Ah has a soft hard which is why she asks tough to cover that fact. He believes this is why what she wants never happens because sheâs living a façade. He shares that analyzing otherâs feelings is his specialty. He plans to talk to So Ah soon.
When So Ah wakes sheâs in her bed. She thinks over the events of the day and decides it must be dream.
Lord Habaek dispels that when he tells her Bi Ryeon said the diamond ring wasnât an engagement ring, but a friendship ring. Ha! So Ah flashes back to hearing that Bi Ryeon gave 20 people that same ring in friendship. Lord Habaek repeats it was friendship not love. Ha! So Ah canât believe this is happening to her.
So Ah canât believe that Bi Ryeon is a god. Lord Habaek retorts that he comes from the goddess of love and enjoys chaos. So Ah simply canât believe sheâs had two gods in her life. Lord Habaek tells Soo Ri that So Ah has âlost itâ. Ha! Soo Ri wonders if talking to Moo Ra or finding Joo Dong should be their next action.
Moo Ra keeps her meeting with Lord Habaek short. She refuses to hand over the stone. She does offer to reconsider if Bi Ryeon gives him her stone. She flees. Sheâs not happy to find Bi Ryeon in her car. She even further dismayed when he reminds her that she once used him to make Lord Habaek jealous.
So Ah tries to get a grip that Bi Ryeon is back in her life. Her nurse tells her Hoo Ye phone multiple times. So Ah calls Hoo Ye and apologizes for not reviewing the contract yet. He suggests they meet. She agrees.
Lord Habaek decides he need advice from So Ah on the mental states of Bi Ryeon and Moo Ra.
So Ah is startled when Bi Ryeon appears outside her office. He wants to catch up, especially now that he knows sheâs the servant. So Ah tries to brush him off but he wonât listen. He forcibly puts her in his car and locks the doors. Lord Habaek and Soo Ri arrive just as he rounds the driverâs door. He smiles, waves, and gets into the car. Lord Habaek realizes something is wrong and takes off after Bi Ryeon. He floors it leaving Lord Habaek running after him. Bi Ryeon goes under the overpass Hoo Ye is walking over. Lord Habaek canât catch up and stops gasping for breath. Hoo Ye looks at Lord Habaek and then proceed to where he assumes So Ah will be waiting for him.
Interesting that Bi Ryeon kidnapped So Ah. Lord Habaek sensed she was in danger. But this time, his powers didnât return. It must have everything to do with if her life is in imminent danger. Lord Habaek and Hoo Ye are two ships that pass in the night. When will they realize who each other is?
Bi Ryeon drives faster (at a hyper speed) than So Ah can take. Sheâs not happy. He loves it. She tries to call someone. He tosses her phone out the window.
Hoo Ye waits in vain for So Ah. He calls but gets no answer.
When Bi Ryeon finally stops the car, he flies to the top of a bridge and taunts So Ah for her shabby life. When he jumps down he ask her to drink a red fluid that will make Lord Habaek forget about the god stones temporarily. He claims he has other things to attend to. He offers to compensate her handsomely including a new diamond friendship ring. So Ah canât help but be drawn to his offer to make her rich. She takes the vial. Bi Ryeon smiles. Then she drops the vial and smashes it with her foot. She tells Bi Ryeon to handle his own problems. Bi Ryeonâs smile vanishes. He states as servant she must serve all the gods not only Lord Habaek. He says without Lord Habaekâs powers she be better to align herself with him. So Ah retorts that Lord Habaekâs powers are intermittent proving he is a god. That surprises Bi Ryeon.
Moo Ra is driving at the same hyper speed with Lord Habaek and Soo Ri in her car. She realizes that Lord Habaek may be adamant to catch up with Bi Ryeon because he cares for So Ah. Lord Habaek doesnât refute her claim.
So Ah tells Bi Ryeon to take her home. He tells her heâll need to confirm that Lord Habaekâs powers are intermittent. When Moo Ra, Lord Habaek and Soo Ri arrive, Bi Ryeon is all smiles. When Lord Habaek tells So Ah to come to him, she tires but with a wave of his hand Bi Ryeon pushes her backwards. The bridge under her starts to crack. Lord Habaek yells at him to stop. Moo Ra demands to know why Bi Ryeon is doing this. Bi Ryeon tells Lord Habaek if he demonstrates his powers, heâll consider giving him the stone. Moo Ra is surprised by the intermittent powers claim.
Grinning Bi Ryeon snaps his fingers to amp the danger up for So Ah. Lord Habaek watches helpless without his powers. Soo Ri yells that it is against the rules to bully humans. Bi Ryeon counters that servants are exempt from this. Moo Ra tells Bi Ryeon to stop. Bi Ryeon counters that So Ah told him that if sheâs in danger Lord Habaekâs powers return. He tells Lord Habaek the choice to save her is his. Lord Habaek stares, sneers, and declares the Bi Ryeon must have lost the god stones. That stops Bi Ryeon in his tracks. He stops using his powers on So Ah. Lord Habaek demands to know why he lost the god stones. Everyone stares at each other.
My Thoughts
Bi Ryeon reveals himself to be working against Lord Habaek. Smirking evil characters are standard in kdramas and Bi Ryeon was irking me. I was pleased when Lord Habaek realized the god stones were missing. That knocked the smug smirk off Bi Ryeonâs face. Does Lord Habaek realize that Moo Ra is in cahoots with Bi Ryeon?
Lord Habaek (Nam Joo Hyuk) had some swoonable moments. He may claim that heâs protecting So Ah but thatâs only half the story. Heâs also drawn to her and starting to care for her, something Moo Ra easily spotted as she drove them to meet Bi Ryeon. I enjoy a slow build of a relationship. I donât need instant love or like. Lord Habaek wonât admit to more than cursory concern for his servant. Heâs lying to himself. But is he also lying to protect So Ah from heartbreak? He did warn her not to fall for him.
Yoon So Ah (Shin Se Kyung) is surround by gods and itâs more than she could take. So Ah couldnât believe it when Bi Ryeon turned about to be the diamond ring giving man from her past. My hats off to writer Jung and Writer Yoon for that clever tie between these characters. I was proud of So Ah for rejecting the vial of red fluid and Bi Ryeonâs offer of riches. So Ah has a power in this story even though sheâs just âthe servantâ. I found Hoo Yeâs assessment that So Ah is living a façade very astute.
