Prompt 185

No one could get into contact with Constantine. 

Now usually that wasn’t that big of a deal, the man constantly disappeared for a few days at a time doing something or other, but he’d been completely silent and unseen for months. Usually he’ll at least answer a call to tell them to fuck off or something. 

And they really need his expertise and are getting incredibly worried for their grumpy team member. Yes he’s an asshole, but he’s their asshole, y’know? And he has a habit of getting into Situations (sure he also usually gets out of them, but what if he didn’t this time?!) 

So they’re desperate. Kind of really desperate. Desperate enough to use the summoning sigil they found on his fridge. They’d checked it, multiple times, and it should summon the hellblazer. 

“You’re not Constantine.” . 

The white-haired teen in the circle yawned, stretching and blinking at them blandly with familiar blue eyes before sighing. “Actually I am,” he stuffed his hands into his hoodie as he looked down at the summoning circle. “Well, technically just one of the many Laughing Magicians currently in the Realms.” 

He gave a grin, looking more amused than annoyed. “Pretty much every one of us is in the Realms right now for family reunion lol. (Did he just say lol out loud??) So like, you’re gonna have to specify which of us you’re tryin’ to summon. Honestly perfect timing for me thanks, the fruitloop keeps flirting with John and it’s horrific so.” 

… That was probably their John, wasn’t it…

Erend: they don't Id me at the liquor store anymore because they see the light has left my eyes

Erend: We're playing Scrabble. It's a nightmare.

Alva: Scrabble? Scrabble's great.

Erend: Not when you're playing with Zo, it's not. They put words like "ephemeral" and I put "dog".

-

Varl: You're ignoring all your problems.

Aloy: I know.

Varl: You also know it's an unhealthy coping mechanism?

Aloy: I'm ignoring that fact as well.

Varl:

-

Zo: In your opinion, what's the height of stupidity?

Aloy: turning to Sylens How tall are you?

-

Aloy: You lying, cheating, piece of shit!

Sylens: Oh yeah? You're the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.

Aloy: I'm leaving you, and I'm TAKING BETA WITH ME!

Varl, picking up the strike board: I think we're gonna stop playing now.

-

Aloy: Want do you want to be for "Halloween"?

Beta: Loved.

Aloy: Don't do this.

-

Sylens: I will not stand to be disrespected like this!

Aloy: Then sit.

-

Alva: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the things you lost throughout your life...

Zo: It would be nice to have my sense of purpose back.

Aloy: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.

Beta: My will to live! I haven't seen this in years.

Erend: I knew I lost that potential somewhere.

Varl: Mental stability, my old friend!

Alva: Ancestors, could you guys lighten up a little?

-

Varl: What do you think Kotallo will do for a distraction?

Aloy: Probably, like, whistle or throw a rock. That's what I would do.

Building explodes and several car alarms go off

Aloy: ...or they could do that.

OK THAT'S ENOUGH I SHOULD PROABLY STOP NOW BYE

On my walk home from the cafe I was thinking about Sanji (as one does) and how every influence in his life for 19 years screamed at him to hunker down, stay silent, and never appear weak.

As much as I love Zeff and know he loved Sanji, it's clear he has such a straight-laced and unflinching view of masculinity and what it means to be a man. The environment on the Baratie was an extension of that.

It was a machismo world where affection was hidden behind kicks to the head and insults. The kind of environment where cutting your hand or something gets a response of "what? You call that an injury? Don't cry over nothing". Where outright kindness has to be dragged out of people, and then immediately covered up with a half-baked insult.

Throw into that environmemt a little boy who is desperate to prove he's not the failure he was told he was, and out pops a man who wears his heart on his sleeve for "acceptable manly emotions" but who hides real emotions behind anger, and hides pain (physical or emotional) altogether so as not to seem weak.

Tack onto that the idea that the only surefire way to show love is through self sacrifice (his mom + Zeff), then of course Sanji will be all sorts of jacked up.

We see throughout the series how Sanji is so unwilling to be vulnerable or to even admit he's feeling hurt at all. Plaster a smile on, make some comment about loving women, and voila! He's the man's man everyone expects. No need to worry about him. After all: he's strong.

>knitting the second round of my first 2 round repeat

>get to the end of the round and realize it doesn't match up

>after some examination it looks like I started on the wrong stitch, (I don't mark the beginning of the round)

>well, it happens to the best of us

>tink back to the beginning of the round and restart round 2, this time for sure on the correct stitch

>make it to the end of round 2

>doesn't match up again !!!

>I must have just messed up somewhere during this round

>can't find the mistake but my eyes aren't that great and I can't count for shit

>I will just tink back until I find the mistake and then keep going again

>zone out while tinking back and don't realize until I hit the beginning of the round

>well at least I know im past the mistake, I'll just restart from here and try not to mess up this time

>get to the end of round 2 for the third time

>not again :(

>does not match up

>very annoyed by now, this is already an annoying round to do bc this is the round that establishes the pattern, so I have to pay attention the whole time (not that I am, evidently). Also, overall this is round 3 of the whole piece, so it's hard to read stitches bc there's so little there and it's all bunched up on my needles.

>determined to figure out how I messed up exactly so that I can fix it because I don't want to do that again

>can't figure it out

>ok I will just do this very painstakingly and slowly and check each stitch and make sure it's all going well

>*p3 k1* very slowly

>hang on

>halfway thru the round before this instead of k3 p1 I switched to k2 p1

>well that would do it

>I will just have to undo the stitch below, reknit it so that it's in pattern, then work the stitch above, until I'm back at the beginning of the round and out of this hell

>does so

>it takes a while but at least now I know im fixing it

>NO !!!!

>still doesn't match up. What now ?????

>has a sinking feeling I cast on the wrong number, too

>8 stitches too many (80 instead of 72)

>after all of that tinking (280 stitches ?) I still have to frog it

sits down at the jeanharry table with my lunch tray. so like here’s how i see it. kinda iffy on whether it’d ever work out after martinaise but before martinaise there is Something going on. they’re not GOOD for each other (in fact harry actively ends up making jean worse but jean was already bad so it’s not like he was innocent) but at the same time they are extremely crucial in supporting each other since neither of them really are close to anyone else which is how it spirals into codependency so fast. yes they frequently fight and rip each other to shreds etc but also they are always hanging out and sometimes they genuinely are just having a good time with each other. and it’s definitely Something that goes beyond simple friendship, but harry definitely holds a lot of internalized homophobia & toxic masculinity and i’m 100% sure that jean does too, so like. the only way that their Arrangement works is if they don’t put a name to it. they KNOW that what they have is more than just two guys being dudes but they just call themselves friends (or partners in the context of work) and it works out fine as long as they both stick to that and refuse to put any more thought to it. yes they do things together that would definitely be considered dates if they were a het couple but they’re NOT a couple and they’re NOT dates because they are two MEN being DUDES. don’t you know harry dated a woman once? he’s STRAIGHT. they’re HETEROSEXUAL LIFE PARTNERS. the feminists hate to see two manly men supporting each other in today’s world. if they support each other by going home and fucking drunk that’s literally none of your business. you will never understand a warrior’s bond.

20k?!?!? I've always been kind of stocky so I figured in a fight or flight situation I would need to at least look like I can put up a fight hence my goal toward pull ups and broad shoulders but damn the stamina you must have (in a non sexual way)

my dad was kind of a long-distance running champion when he was younger so he used to take me out on circuits and then i did cross-country running in school (predictably because a girl i liked was too scared to join up by herself. same reason i played basketball and camogie for years lmao) so i guess i built it up over time.

the long runs are really nice actually and sometimes a 5k can be harder because with the long runs i fast to carry as little weight as possible and after about 8-9k it doesn’t feel like running at all, like an airplane reaching cruising altitude. it’s the first few kilometres that you have to fight through.

and yeah there is a pace that just… might as well be a stroll to me. and you have to maintain it really carefully especially with uphill/downhill. can’t charge up can’t let yourself breeze down the other side. but there’s nothing more peaceful than 12k into it out in the plains with my music or just the wind. i’ve missed it so much 🥹

[aropride]

if the loud men come back do you think id get in trouble with the school if i told them to kill themselves
