“test” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 244 words

“Hey!” Sirius says when Regulus and James get home. “How did it go?”

“Really well! I think I’m ready.” Regulus tells him.

“Really?” Sirius asks skeptically.

“Yes, Sirius. I’ll be fine.” Regulus rolls his eyes and turns to James. “Will you tell him?” He throws an aggravated hand towards Sirius.

James’ eyes go wide, and he looks nervously from Sirius to Regulus and back again as he rubs the back of his neck.

“Uhh… well, he did… better…” James says cautiously.

“See!” Regulus gives Sirius a haughty look. 

“James?” Sirius asks.

“Umm… well…” James starts, eyeing Regulus warily. “He only ran one stop sign today… and only hit the curb twice. And no trees… ‘came out of nowhere’.” James uses air quotes. “So, it was an improvement, but I still think… umm... maybe a few more days of practice before you take the test.” James says tentatively.

Regulus huffs and crosses his arms over his chest as he glares at James.

“You’ll get there, love. Just need more practice.” James tries to appease him with a kiss then starts to slowly back out of the room.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Regulus narrows his eyes at him.

“I…umm… need to go talk to Mr. Jenkins about his mailbox.” James says awkwardly.

“What happened to his mailbox?” Sirius asks.

James grimaces and Sirius raising a questioning eyebrow at Regulus.

“Fine!” Regulus throws his hands up. “Maybe one more day of practice.” He says and stomps out of the room.

Been sittin on this for a while

Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow

hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.

like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.

anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better

gu xiang saving that singing girl and kicking ass, then being surprised that she doesn't get in trouble just because "she was in the right" will forever be one of my favorite scenes in the show tbh

you know im realizing now. with the exception of a few resident psychiatrists, ive had like. no good experiences with mental health professionals

Something that's really crystallized for me in recent months is that the kind of performative hype (or pre-emptive disappointment) that goes on in social media spaces is simply not something I can be heavily party to if I want to have an honest experience with a game.

Rumor-mongers, streamers, influencers-- what are they to me? What is their opinion to me? They are not me. They have not lived my life nor do they have my specific set of biases. They are not possessed of the specific lens through which I would naturally experience the story and mechanics. They cannot give me my opinion, nor am I motivated in any way to adopt theirs because of that whole authenticity issue.

But if I try to divine what the "acceptable" or most common opinions are, it does little but destroy my ability to enjoy anything at all. It makes me want to hide it if I do enjoy it for fear of punishment. And let's be real here--there's a metric fuckton of poison and faux anticipation out there that's generated for no other reason than engagement.

Truth lies in the one on one experience with the game, relatively free of influence or the social pressure to agree to anyone's take.

i feel like something people really need to understand is that having a panic attack feels like you’re dying. this isn’t hyperbole or anything, to the person experiencing the panic attack it feels like they are dying or will die soon. there is no logical thought in the person’s mind because they are experiencing such acute fear; and this isn’t something they can control nor does it mean that they are an “illogical” or “crazy” person. even if one doesn’t have a panic disorder or has never experienced a panic attack, i’m sure they could imagine how scared and illogical they may act if they felt they were moments from death.

All the time. Sometimes when I reread something I realize it's a bunch of half baked thoughts that are coming out in the worst way possible, or I just realize I have no damn clue what I'm talking about, and sometimes I'm giving my opinion as a fact.

What's worse is I'm usually tired when I do that, so I usually don't catch myself. I have many comments I am embarrassed of but am too embarrassed to go back and reread it to either delete it, add on some kind of apology, or edit it to make sense.

So I just pretend they don't exist.

...

I probably should go back and fix the ones that I know about...

do you ever start writing a comment on the internet and then think “oh what the fuck am i going on about” and delete it

[vilelittlecritter]

bout five years ago today I'd tell you I don't really have strong stances on anything, that Id rather not get involved in other people's business.

But I can sure as shit tell you now that billionaires aren't fucking human and every single one of them should hunt down for sport.

Personal opinion that I will not give up on (as I do with most stuff like this) is that Yamaguchi Tadashi is a soft dom

Not a bottom

A soft dom

I need more people who agree with me and make fanart and rec fics and all

Like at first I was like why do people ship it this way, Tsukki is clearly a bottom, but then I realized, in other ships he is a bottom, meaning that they don't think Tsukki is a top, they think Yamaguchi is a bottom, which I mean they are entitled to their opinions, but I just don't see it

Just because he's shorter and more submissive in the relationship doesn't mean he's a bottom. I just don't see either Kei as a top, nor Tadashi as a bottom, and it just feels insulting to me when I see fanart or incorrect quotes or headcanons where it's obvious that the person thinks otherwise, I know they're not trying to and there's not right way to go about these things, but it just makes me feel so insulted, and especially since most people think like that (I wanna say ya basic but I really don't wanna offend people)

I find it insane that some girl asked if I was gay when she’s the one who in my Islamic private school with only girls classes for the most part and wearing Muslim fitting uniforms (and btw I would make my clothes extra baggy btw so you don’t notice anything of my body to begin with 😭) told me I have a nice body LIKE WTF WAS I MEANT TO RESPOND TO THAT FIRST OF ALL ??? AND SECOND HOW ARE YOU ASKING IF IM THE GAY ONE WHEN YOURE COMMENTING ON MY BODY AS A GIRL 😭

[justaholeinmysoul]

Seems so taboo to say but most people following their big dreams in life have wealthy and supportive families behind. the rugs to rich is often exaggerated or just a survivorship bias of that one loser poor af person who made it
