[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

Frank, what do you think humans need?

People need . . . empathy?

From the Latin, "to feel inwardly," empathy is your ability to recognize and understand the thoughts, emotions, intentions and perspectives of others. However, empathy is more than that. It's your ability to be sensitive to and understand the needs and feelings of others.

. . . sensations?

Think of how you might feel if someone punched you in the back of the head or you had a terrible itch in an uncomfortable place. This is the kind of mind-blowing complexity that makes human sensation truly amazing.

. . . fresh air?

Living in a polluted city or on top of a mountain can give you a different experience of fresh air. Have you ever breathed in the fresh air of a mountain camp? When you breathe in that fresh air, do you feel revived and rested?

. . . moving around?

Providing movement (for example, physical movement as in exercise, or mental movement such as a vacation to a different environment) is important.

. . . ??????

tw: general family dysfunction, alluding to cheating

when people would ask him what motivated him to become the person that he was today, it’s always the standard answer of, my father of course, but in his head he would say, it was actually my mother’s backlogged dreams. no one knows that this is his answer, he tries very hard nowadays to keep his mother’s name out of his mouth. 

it used to change over the years how they approached questions about fame, how in many ways they would never be their father or their sibling luna, and how that drove them from being off the big stage and instead just stick to being… behind it. all of that to say dante would never promise to be quiet, during their early twenties they had spent most of their time running through people and things and their mother told them that one day they'd crash and burn and... then they did. 

but that’s getting ahead of the story. the story really starts on a hot night in august, dante is born out of an already flighty relationship. his mother was on her way to being someone, she wasn’t famous by any means but famous enough to have a small following and by the time that dante was actually here most of those dreams came crashing down. they struggled, partly because his mother wanted his father in his life but struggled because she refused to receive help from his father. it would be a back and forth game until his father, his wife, and sibling would move to new york city and dante would stay with his mother and watch her go through her own set of relationships that would never work out. 

he still of course went to new york to visit for a couple of months at a time, he was never going to be the actor of the family, but he did often listen into conversations his father and luna would have when it came to music, by the time he would get back to his mother’s he’d be half into a project, writing songs, and making experimental sounds. 

with the success of his father’s family it began to take a toll on his back at home. people would say things about him and his mother, rumours that would fly off the handle of the actress that could have been had she not had a tumultuous relationship with his father. his little brother is born and dante tries to keep his head down. 

while his family is complicated he can’t help but feel love for them whenever he was able to visit, though it always felt like he was on the outside looking in. he could relate to his father on music but it was never the same genre. the bond that he should have with his dad was strained but that’s just because he remembers everything that’s happened to his mom. 

skip a few years, glossing over all the public scandals that dante gets himself into, a public outing with the wrong guy, and an incident with his brother where he was meant to protect him and just couldn’t get to him in time, his mother is done with dante. his brother may have forgiven him but his mother hasn’t. in fact, it’s been so long since they last talked it’s often samuel going between both of them when they’re around for the rare family function. 

dante disappears for about a year and comes back under a different pen name luan guerrero, luan in portuguese means ‘moon’ in tribute to his sibling who was able to accomplish so much, but in chinese it also means 'bird' or 'bell'. they always liked a double meaning. dante isn’t known by their mother’s maiden name, it only seemed appropriate that despite everything they’ve been through, there’s some part of her in everything that they do. their album ‘decide’ comes out and is a hit. and after that their other projects that they worked equally as hard on become popular too after years of having just a small few appreciating them. 

before changing pen names they worked on a lot of hit singles as lyricists, and while it was fulfilling there’s something about being able to have your own voice singing your own songs. they’re still passionate about composing, there’s so many good spanish experimental music and they’re just dying to put their foot in the door with it too. 

they’ve moved to valparaiso not that long ago knowing that both of their siblings are here. dante is looking for a fresh start and make more music and shed some of their old ways, but dante is also a leo so we’ll see how that goes !! 

headcanons: 

dante is also very interested in ghost hunting, urban myths, and folklore !!! i wonder if you could tell who their siblings are !!! anyway he’s very supportive of both of his siblings work and wished that he was smart enough to go to university but he’s stupid as a bag of rocks ( ok not literally but im allowed to be mean to him ) 

HE WASN'T A SOUNDCLOUD RAPPER but he did release some of his early stuff on soundcloud and it did get popular on there THANK YEW

owns a mexican black king snake and a tarantula ( like i said, siblings for a reason ) but they also own a tiny little black cat named monday ( don’t ask )

wants to be as cool as esme but is a total loser 

still speaks to samuel, desperately wants their brother to come and live with them but their mom won’t let him. 

speaking of samuel the events of what happened to him will remain a mystery simply bc with celebrity knows who actually knows the truth besides those that it happened to !! 

also it's literally not a secret that his pen name can be linked to his actual name, people often comment whenever he posts on his band’s instagram asking if this is dante or management posting ( it's almost always dante ) so aosdknfas he just wanted to have a separate name for ‘important things’ like that but when it comes to composing for shows and movies he always uses his full name. 

actually a decent photographer as well, but they decided to use their energy on music 

he’s an idiot with people’s feelings sometimes but means well idk man !! growing up in the spotlight can be a lot especially with rumours circulating around their family 

[hyp3rfixation-h3ll]

HEY I'm the one who sent you that anon about beating someone up, I'm sorry, I should probably not have said that, or I should have at least added a tone indicator. I'm not gonna seek someone out to beat them up or get myself involved or anything. It just really bothers me when an adult tries to manipulate a minor in any way. It's sickening. Especially since they named an OC after you using your deadname. That's downright disturbing.

hey, it's all cool Nonny, i get bein' caught up in your emotions. im proud of you 4 clarifying your intent and coming back 2 apologise!!! and yeah, the whole "OC/Sona with my dead/ghostname" is . yeah idk what they were cookin w/ that one </3 esp bc the OC has 2 of my other current names...... like ?

[emiliosandozsequence]

halfway through children of god and it is making me feral!!

omg what part are you at?!

[polaroid-steam-room]

Am I the only one that doesn’t have a “deadname”?

Like, it’s not dead,

Rather, it’s spiritually lingering and I don’t need it to possess me unless if it’s for something important or for legality reasons.

[hawkeyefrommash]

10, 16, 23?

10. The book(s) you bought because the cover was pretty, and whether it was worth it

i don’t do this but my dad does and he’s struck out with the last three books he’s bought so 

a book i want to buy but have done no research on is ‘a long way to a small, angry planet’ bc i like one of the covers for it so we’ll see if it’s worth it lmao

16. The book that you don’t dare reread for fear it won’t be the same any more

this is why i haven’t reread ‘aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe’ recently tbqh

but actually this is why i never reread books i’m so afraid i’ll hate it and it’ll taint my original love for it

23. The book you expected to hate, didn’t, and then got angry about not hating

i can’t think of a specific example rn but when we go on roadtrips my friend and i buy like, 1$ bin harlequins and some of them are not awful and i hate that

book asks!

[panadeineforte]

the best/worst thing abt having changed my name socially but not legally is that it just feels like my current paper identity is escapable at any time. like okay i’m definitely at risk of getting myself blacklisted by various companies for constantly paying my bills late, but on the upside my ghostname wont exist soon so like who cares!

[sandersgrey]

If you unfortunately still have to go by your birthname regularly, thats not a deadname thats a ghostname. bc its back to haunt you

[smelted-applejuice]

hola I'm a new follower I wanted to ask if it's alright with you to do a part 3 to I love you so I will be happy if you do if not understandable

dont forget to:

drink water, get some sleep, not drink too much caffeine :D

Pairing(s): c!Fundy x Reader Desc: part 3 of 'favorite crime'. Word Count: 0.5k Pronouns: She/Her

ofc it's alright!! I hope u enjoy, and thank u!!

My hands are searching for you My arms are outstretched towards you I feel you on my fingertips My tongue dances behind my lips for you This fire runs in through my being Burning I'm not used to seeing you

 I'm alive, I'm alive

[YourName] gasped, shooting awake from her sleep. “Sup, sweetcheeks?” Schaltt asked with a quick nod in her direction. “Where are we?” [YourName] asked curiously. “Limbo, baby.  The other half of you is out there as a spirit.” Glatt explained, “For now, you’re stuck with me.” he said, throwing a deck of cards down for [YourName] to pick up and join him in a game of sorts. She sighed and sat down in front of him.  What else is there to do?

I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing

 It would take a few days, but Fundy would exit the house [YourName] and him used to share. Wilbur had sought out help in Quackity as his therapist. “Hey, Fundy. Want a cake? We’re all about to head to [YourName]’s grave and have a little picnic in her honor. She would have loved for you to have some.” Niki offered, digging through her basket for a wrapped up slice of “I know what she would’ve loved, thanks Niki,” Fundy said, a glum tone sticking to his voice as he took the slice of cake. He couldn’t bear to look at your grave right now. He made his way around to the woods and sat where you two would often spend time together and enjoy deep conversations about anything and everything. He ate the cake in tears, his fox ears pressing against the red hair he inherited from his mother.  He felt as if his heart was shattering in his chest as salty rivers fell down his cheeks.

My hands float up above me And you whisper you love me And I begin to fade Into our secret place The music makes me sway The angels singing say we are alone with you I am alone and they are too with you I'm alive, I'm alive

 [GhostName] looked around as she wandered between trees. Her body was clad with the outfit she wore when she died; a big rip and a stab wound that stained her corset with (FavoriteColor). She peeked behind the tree, her smile dropping when she saw the fox hybrid. She didn’t need to see his face to know who it was-- he was the reason for her death. The reason she had left Manberg. The reason she was now a ghostly spirit, dancing around her new territory. “You.” [YourName] spoke. I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing

 Fundy looked up, in shock to see the  ghostly figure in front of him. “[YourName]!” He managed to choke out.His brain was overstimulated with overwhelming emotions such as relief and shock. “You’re the reason I died.” [GhostName] said, folding her arms. “You don’t deserve to cry over me, you wanted me out. I was simply a pawn in your scheme.” “You know I didn’t mean it like that, [YourName]...” Fundy said, now ashamed of his final words to his [YourName]. “Then how did you mean them!?”

 And so I cry The light is white And I see you I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

 Fundy left the forest after his encounter with [GhostName], her haunting words still ringing in his head. He wasn’t much of a believer in ghosts, or at least he hadn’t been until today.  He got home, placed the half eaten cake inside the fridge and plopped on his bed. He felt horrible, even worse than he felt the day of her death. 

I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing

 [GhostName] sighed out once Fundy left the forest. She was relieved he had left, but couldn’t help but feel bad about it. He was her love, but her memories of him mostly consisted of how he manipulated her. She just sat where Fundy once was, kicking around some rocks.

“Yeah, just a pawn.”

Take my hand I give it to you Now you own me All I am You said you would never leave me I believe you I believe

incredibly useful tip if you’re playing the sims 3 and get the “cheating on a dead lover” problem (ESPECIALLY if you only started dating them after they died, to get that sweet sweet weird genes):

move another sim into the house by BEFRIENDING, NOT FLIRTING. then, by controlling THAT sim, convince your original sim to “break up with [ghostname]”. You are now freed from obligations to the deceased.
