#except not quite obviously

Dale's smug little ordeal once he's arrested, which in itself feels orchestrated (loitering at the bus stop while he has a car, every note he owns crammed in cases, backpack like he's about to have a sleepover, longlegs outfit ON), stating his name and immediately asking for Lee. He knows they will inevitably be bought together. The weepy tone he uses with her that he doesn't with the prior interviewer... the single tear. You can never quite comprehend what's an act, what's an actual emotion, or if it's all so entwined it's basically negligible. Such a vessel for his religion that his attachment to Lee is undecipherable. Can a husk feel anything for anyone.? Is this an act, is it genuine? Does it matter. One million thoughts forever and ever.

I'm relatively new to the OC story! Any chance you can share why Sol and Nova hate each other so personally?

i'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top, she's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock, it's a matter of time before we all run out, when i thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.....

second chances they don't ever matter, people never change, once a whore you're nothing more, i'm sorry, that'll never change, and about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchange, i'm sorry honey but i pass it up, now look this way....

there's a million other girls who do it just like you, looking as innocent as possible to get to who, they want what they like, it's easy if you do it right, well i refuse i refuse i refuse...!!

It's eternally a little funny whenever I see someone say something along the lines of 'everyone in Strive is so happy now! Everyone's stories are getting resolved! It'll be hard to make a new game when everyone's retired and living peacefully and resolved their problems' and then there's a haunted semi-sentient mecha corpse in the corner constantly screaming from being trapped in limbo

happy birthday dust sans :3 ‼️🎊

"well, that's that. a grand execution, the perfect punishment for a sinner with lifetimes worth of crimes, and yet, nobody showed up, and dust didn't even try to fight back."

"heh. sounds pretty pathetic to me... but hey, maybe this was what he wanted."

"to die alone only accompanied by the ones he hated with nobody who he'd actually want to witness this?"

"maybe dying only with yourself would be less embarrassing than a public show. privacy is something you never realize you want until you lose it."

"... you were right, that does sound pathetic."

I dont get Boris's appeal tbh. Like he looks basic compared to other LIs. Even Yan still looks somewhat interesting compared to him.

yan isn't a particularly high bar but the arms out bandages look did eat a little. men are only hot when they're in pain #idk

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts

[bl0rbohandbag]

I was going to say that Lilia was pleasantly wrong and that Malleus is nowhere near as bad as Mallenoa sounds, that he is actually pretty level-headed and calm despite having his moments and is considerably less temperamental and more mature than his mother but you know what. I forgot we are currently in this entire situation because of his selfish desire for everything to remain unchanging and poor emotional management to the point he overblotted and put not only Lilia but the entire NRC under a sleeping spell because of his unwiligness to engage with upsetting emotions and letting go of people he loves.

beatrice baudelaire!

my girl!

How I feel about this character: I've always been really interested in Beatrice because of how mysterious she is. Like, as a fandom we have a lot of headcanons and stuff we've extrapolated from the books and supplementary material, but on pure canon there's a lot of gaps in what we know about her that makes her interesting, especially when it comes to fans trying to fill in those gaps. And I like that she was just this super cool and super hot woman that everyone was so incredibly obsessed with no matter what side they were on, everyone and their mother had a complex about Beatrice.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: If Daniel Handler didn't want me to become far too obsessed with Lemony and Beatrice as a couple, he shouldn't have written five hundred thousand words of Lemony going "Beatrice I love you so much let me list it all" as a way to reassure her when she asks 'hey do you still love me' in the 200 page break up book she wrote. That's just insane, of course I ship it. I'm also really into Beatrice/Bertrand as a couple too, people can have multiple great loves. And depending on my mood I can be really into the lemonberryice throuple.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Beatrice and Kit's relationship is always gonna be interesting to me, and Olaf and Beatrice just seem to have had the most fascinating dynamic, legit friends in childhood to some more vitriolic friendship and then she murders his parents and then he torments her innocent children, it's Good.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't know if I've got any necessarily unpopular ones because this fandom in general, and especially the bit focused on the sugarbowl generation, is very small and most of the stuff I've seen I agree with. I guess I might characterize Beatrice as a bit, idk, colder than most? For all her other facets, Olaf was someone she knew and seems to have gotten along with well on a personal level, and she still doesn't seem to have spent much time outwardly agonizing over what might have been straight cold blooded murder. I don't think she was evil or unfeeling, and there's a reason she pulled back from VFD stuff especially after having children, but there might be a more ruthless streak there in my view than in some other people's.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: idk man, that she fuckin lived? It's a bummer that she's dead, she was a devoted mother and a good friend and an important part of a lot of people's lives and it seems like a bunch of worlds were dimmer without her in them, her kids are gonna miss her for the rest of their lives and Lemony is still deeply affected by losing her literal decades after the fact. I wish she'd been able to meet little Beatrice too, I think they would have gotten along great.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT CYRUS BEING CANONICALLY AUTISTIC

well sure but I figured we all knew that for years due to his nature? One of the most obvious autistic characters ever invented right behind Fegan Floop of Spy Kids fame.

i'm so late to this hslkhalkjs but sugarspun + 3 or 13 for the fic ask game?

What is your favourite line of narration?

oh god theres so many words in this fic ummmm ok its not one line but i really adore zoros internal narration of how his feelings for sanji crept up on him. im self-obsessed so ill put a small excerpt from it, and the last line is probably my fave

The ones with him were always in the dark. Vague spaces engulfed in urgency. Dreams that were more taste than sight. Sweat and smoke. Salt and skin. They frustrated him to no end. Then, the dreams changed.  Without Zoro’s permission, the light leaked in. 

but theres also definitely some other lines that are gems TO ME probably smth sappy from the lipstick section and the bit in the galley where sanji squeezes zoros hand augh. is any of this even technically 'narration'? idk and i dont want to know<3

What music did you listen to while writing or what would you recommend to accompany the fic?

i dont listen to music while i write BUT after thinking about it right now i would rec one of my fave albums of 2024, 'i love you so f***ing much' by glass animals. im really more into the Vibes of music than the lyrics, and this album inspires a certain contradictory, confused, ache-in-the-ribs raw memory of love which is very harmonic with the mess of sugarspun. lyrically too it covers a lot of complex, strained threads about love and moves through different phases and levels of acceptance of it, which mirrors a lot of moments across the fic. TO ME.

particularly, id say creatures in heaven (taking love for granted and missing the small moments and how much YOU were loved once its gone) + whatthehellishappening? (to a lesser extent, but the overall vibe of being caught in a situation where youre helpless but you like it) for sanji pov a tear in space (trying to figure out what someone wants and give it to them but its just not enough to break through) + how i learned to love the bomb (being with someone volatile and always being on edge, trying to predict which version of them youre going to get) for zoro AND lost in the ocean as a finale and a conversation between the two of them (sanji as the verse and zoro as the chorus)
