#hmmm how they met

Dream is seven when he first runs into Wilbur. A nine year old who has far too much leg in proportion to his body, who doesn't talk all too much either. It confuses him greatly because it is not the silence that portrays a certain shyness or anxiousness, but runs deeper. A silence that has Dream feeling uncomfortable like the older was sucking out the joy in the air just from simply existing. They only bump into each other now and then. Only twice throughout the years do they really interact with each other when they live in the same town and even that’s not much of anything.
The first was when they headed to the water well to fill their bucket to water their crops their family holds in their small backyards. Dream attempts to make idle conversation to pass the time. So, logically, the first thing he asks the older kid is how he’s doing as a formality. And then following, asks about how his brother is faring.
Dream has heard the news from his mother that Wilbur's sibling has fallen terribly ill. She saw it with her own two eyes too, tending to the young chap herself– the only lady in town who had any knowledge in medicine. She had said that his skin was awfully pale, nearly corpse-like even with the insane fever that ran through his body. And of course at a mere seven years old, Dream had no other reaction to give other than basic sympathy. As much as a seven year old could at that age anyways.
Wilbur, in response, snaps back like an angry turtle. He gives him a sharp, "It is none of your business." His words are sharper than the blade Dream sliced himself with just about a year ago. It was when he attempted to peel an apple in one long strip like his father had. Dream is taken aback by the sudden outburst but before he can bite back, Wilbur has turned on his heel and stalked off with his head held up high.
Absolute bastard, Dream thinks. He scowls to himself (though to Wilbur too even if he’s not here anymore). As he takes his bucket off the hook, the water sloshes and some spills onto his tunic. The fabric clings to his skin but the deeper scowl on his face is caused by the slight annoyance. It will dry before sundown, so Dream has no complaints.
Really, even if it is a possibility he may get a scolding for returning late, Dream takes that chance and loiters around the well for longer than necessary. The purpose being to avoid the chance of running into Wilbur on the journey back. His seven year old mind concludes that the other kid, though as pretty as he may be, holds nothing but cruelty and meanness in whatever heart he has. May he even have any heart. Probably not.
The second time Dream bumps into him is when he is thirteen and Wilbur is fourteen, not yet fifteen. Not until a month later at least. This time it is during his father’s funeral, late in the evening. The setting sun still bares down warmly on his neck as the crowd walks to the open field.
The only reason why Wilbur is even here is because the entire town is. Dream would just prefer it if it was just his mother and cat burying his father really. Though his mother said that the rest of the town folk just wanted to pay their respect for the man– a well known and well liked shopkeeper and innkeeper. Dream thinks that is stupid and that this occasion should be kept private. This was a funeral, place of mourning and remembrance (or at least that's what his mother told him when he attended his first funeral a few years back.) It is not just some…thing to gawk at.
Honestly it is not much of an interaction. At most they stand next to each other when the casket is lowered into the ground, Wilbur inclines his head towards Dream as if to say sorry, to give his sympathy. Dream pointedly looks away at his shoes. They are buffed and clean to appear presentable and a week prior they would’ve been scuffed and dirtied with mud and sand. He doesn’t like how they look, feeling the corners of his lips tug down further.
That is that. No more, no less.
#dreambur#dreamwastaken#wilbur soot#my writing#cowboy au#hmmm how they met#dream is kinda judgy in this ngl#hes going to sound more judgy in the next one ha ha#also feel free to send me asks about them#i have an outline in my head but also need to develop them more

Fuck I hate being an adult. I need a more adult adult to help with the volatile emotional situation.
#I've sort of made a new friend? Like we met at the same art group and he's also trans which was like pleasantly surprising in our small town#but like. We have Differences Of Opinion#and it's not totally his fault because it sounds like he's had a Lot of bad shit in his past that's obviously made him wary and closed off#but like. He's slightly older than me (only 4 years) and keeps blaming a load of his problems on other trans folks?#like you know the type. The like 'all these nonbinary/other identities the kids are doing are complicating shit'#the 'it hurts to see people younger than me inc. kids get hormones thrown at them when I still can't get 'em' (which... yeah not even true)#and he's told me himself he doesn't engage much with the queer community bc it's too 'toxic'#and like. I can absolutely understand why he could've had some bad experiences esp. since he has some mental health shit going on#but he wants to be friends bc he doesn't know anyone else going through the medical shit and it's like. Yeah no shit you don't?#you decided the community you'd find them in is toxic? and that people in them are doing being trans wrong?#and I think if he was just some guy online I'd like roll my eyes and ignore him#but he's a real person in my vicinity and I feel fucking bad for him#and I can see how much self loathing he has and how much that probably informs the bullshit#like he told me he thinks that trans men and cis men are fundamentally different categories and trans men will never be cis men#but not in a 'the experiences are just different and come with different perspectives way'#in like a self defeating way. Like a I just have to settle for being a trans man way.#and it made me SO SAD#like bro#I'm so sorry for whoever the fuck made you feel like you're fighting an unwinnable battle#and I want to be a friend to him. I want him to feel like there's other queer people out there and there's friends and hope#but also I genuinely could see him being the kind of person who would get really angry at you for no fault of your own#like I already get the distinct feeling he resents me a little#like obviously not too much since he still wants to hang#but he's been trying and failing to get HRT for years and I got it super quickly basically by sheer luck/a doctor who looks out for me#like I'm so fucking lucky. And I just genuinely feel like he's the kind of person who might take that personally.#I just do not think I have the fucking. Emotional tool kit to salvage this shit#But I also can't exactly text him and say sorry I don't think we should hang out so. What do.#.....I wasn't even LOOKING for a new friend! I have enough friends!!! I wanted to make clay faces and look at pretty buildings dammit!!!#now I have to be the emotionally mature one who goes hmmm maybe let's not blame other depressed trans kids for our problems buddy#I'm just gonna have to be like. Upfront about my stance and if he doesn't like it well he doesn't have to hang out with me

been thinking about the adult timeline, oot zelda went from being this pampered 9- or 10-year-old crown princess with servants and maids and a full royal guard and a giant house and so much food and clothing and safety and anything she could ever want, and suddenly this whole-ass child wakes up one night from a prophetic dream, her father doesn't listen, and suddenly she goes from having everything to nothing, her father's probably dead, the castle is no longer home, her one hope disappears, she and her one bodyguard hide away with the threat of being discovered around every corner, and everything has turned into her worst nightmare overnight.
And now she has to scrounge and steal and barter for food instead of having it handed to her, she has to dress herself with whatever they have on hand instead of having a maid do it, she has to sleep on rocks and in grass with nothing but her bodyguard's arms around her in some semblance of safety. She looks at everyone else doing the same and knows that it's her fault. She looks at impa trying to keep her safe, suddenly forcing her into Sheikah training for days on end and making her work herself to the bone for the first time since she was born, and she complains because she's a royal kid, but she knows that impa's training is going to keep her alive in this new hell she's created for herself.
She becomes Sheik, becomes him wholly and completely because he is quick and silent and smarter than she could ever be, and he won't make stupid mistakes and get his subjects killed because of it, and he is tough and unimportant and dedicated and, incredibly, more comfortable than Zelda ever had been. Sheik can stay alive and fight from the shadows and train for hours on end without dropping from exhaustion. He can survive and fix childish mistakes and help his subjects, though they will never know it's him. and then impa has to leave him for one of her many, many reconnaissance trips, but for once, neither of them are scared to leave the other because he won't get himself killed at the first sign of trouble. And she doesn't come back, but he doesn't fret, because she can take care of herself and he can trust her.
And he still worries, just a little bit.
And then he's seventeen, and it's been so long, but he scouts out castletown one more time, hiding from all of Ganon's eyes like second nature, when a flash of light catches his eye from the Temple of Time. So he sneaks over to the stained-glass window that looked down upon the Master Sword. But the Master Sword isn't in its pedestal: it's being held by a gangly teenager with a green tunic, a fairy, and a blue ocarina at his belt.
And maybe Sheik realizes he finally has a real chance to fix his mistake.
ANYway I'm just saying that child timeline Sheik probably had an easier learning curve for his ninja-assassin training
#chicken scratch#sheik#loz sheik#adult timeline#if that's even a tag#oot#loz oot#ocarina of time#transgender#trans sheik#he probably has so many stories of “yeah so i need to get this package to this one guy i met a few years back who punched me in the jaw”#he's so silly i love him#how tf do i tag this#eh i'll tag it later#if someone thinks hmmm this sounds like another character i like#no you do not :D avert your eyes

i think above all else, i tie my aro identity to my autism. like sometimes i wonder if i’m aro just bc i’m autistic, and ykw that’s totally fine for me lol
and while we’re at it, that might be the case for my gender too. being non-binary is quite literally rejecting the binary, and being aro basically subscribes you to relationship anarchy, which also inherently rejects societal norms
that’s so peculiar to me now looking back on myself as a child. i knew romance and gender weren’t fake, but they definitely didn’t feel real lol. i wonder if other queer ppl felt this early on too, and if being neurodivergent makes a difference
i remember being incredibly frustrated every time gender was brought up with validity. “boys and girls” was like saying “cats and dogs.” it’s a phrase to communicate an idea, but we all know they’re not the only ones. romance didn’t rly frustrate me so much as it felt like participating in a game. it was fun choosing ppl to have a crush on, until i was on the receiving end. like, we’re still playing, right?
ppl always say autism means you don’t get social cues, but i don’t think i was misunderstanding anything. i think i was just questioning their value
#one time in kindergarten i was asked if i loved my mom#it was meant to be a given but i didn’t respond immediately#i just pondered it rly deeply bc i understood that ‘love’ was a strong word and i didn’t wanna just answer unthinkingly#but i was just met with a concerned look and suddenly i was overwhelmed w guilt and just started crying (damn i cry a lot dont i)#bc how dare i make my mom look bad by not saying i loved her? why did i have to think abt it shouldnt it be obvious?#idk why it translated to shame. i didn’t hesitate bc i didn’t love her i hesitated bc i wanted to make sure i meant it#i think from that day on i always questioned this idea of love in every sense of the word#that might be why i’m so obsessed w lovecore and fictional romance too. aestheticizing it naturally invites analysis#and ofc fun lol i do just love love at the end of the day#aro#genderposting#autisms#danbles#hmmm#lovecore

you guys do know that theres more to being gnc than clothes right
#like the post im talking about was about gnc women so thats what im going with#'people say that a woman with a ponytail and a sports bra is masc' mf what. she is if she wants to be#like its overall perceived as more sporty than like. butch i know that#but not taking the effort to do yr hair especially like. on weekends or if you arent conventionally attractive...#... makes you a target for harassment on the basis of being not feminine enough in many rl circles#but also. referring to myself as a boyfriend and brother and king and shit has gotten me Questions regardless of how i dress#ive been made fun of for my deep voice without someone even seeing me#and all the fuckin pathetic rules about holding the door and sitting and eating and swearing add up#really privileged to be like. hmmm i dont see leather jacket so how masculine 🤨#ESPECIALLY WOMEN WITH LONG HAIR. just say youve never met a black woman judged for the Wrong protective hairstyle#just say you think butch is a fashion style and a body type

It's that time of year where i get weirdly sad that my family will never know me
#Family Reunions are a great time to realize how much of an outsider you are in you're own family#A lot of that Is deliberate on my own part mind you#As a the Token Gay Cousin I don't really want my family asking me questions about Anything Ever#But part of me is a little sad that I'll never have the oppurtunity to introduce my partner to the family#It's a whole thing for me#And like I expected and made peace with that reality long before#It's much more Tangible now#My parents have never really met anyone i've dated Before or After they knew about the Me#I just have like hmmm.#I have a rather large extended family and my cousins are all married or settling down and meeting their partners is so normal#and I wish I could have that even If i know I would hate being perceived by my family#The last time my family knew i was in a relationship i was very uncomfortable with the Attention honestly so There's no winning here tbh#My Mother on The Regular: I just want you to get married and settle down :pleadingeyes:#Me: I could be so funny right now#But they Definitely wouldn't have approved#and Like fuck 'em for that and whatever#But Also Idk If my parent's weren't so complicated maybe i could tell them now.#I absolutely won't be doing that Right Now for a Lot of reasons but you know maybe in like 10 or 15 years I'll just let them know something#They Absolutely can't know I eloped my mother would be so distressed about it

My brain is. Absolutely buzzing with fic ideas right now and last night I started on a new one because I felt like i had to at least get the premise down before I lost it, but now I'm nearly 6k words in and oh no I don't have time to get another longfic wip going.... I'm 140k words deep into two other longfics right now 😭 I want to get into it, but I have too many stories fighting for attention in my head and this won't end well if I hop between them all bc I want to finish something for once. Ahhhh!!! Darn you limited time.
#It's about to get so much more limited because I'm starting 6 day a week FFXIV prog on Monday#technically I started last night (so I was up until 11:30pm writing the first 2k words of this...) but we have today off bc I have a concer#and like. getting off work at 3:30 if i then have 3 hours of prog. an hour to make dinner. 30-40 minutes to walk/run/exercise#that's not enough time to get out many words of fic. not if i want to do other enjoyable things with my life#so my productivity is going to tank.#so far my daily average wordcount for may has been over 3k which is insane. but i haven't had raid in ffxiv this so far this month#so that means a lot more time to write. as in 3 more hours per night to write. not that i usually write for 3hrs#but still. you get the gist of it. it's also 3 hours i'm not sitting at my computer so it's easier on the body to sit at the comp and write#anyway for anyone who is reading these tags for a mysterious reason. 1) hi. 2) this is. you probably guessed it. a dmc fic#this one is based on the vergil time travel idea that spaceacerat proposed. there are so many ways it could go but-#-this is one that would take place right before sparda leaves so sparda is still there and vergil has to convince him not to go#the thing there is i'm not really sure how it would end...in my other time travel fic i DO have an explanation for how sparda died#but i developed it specifically for that fic and it would not work for a happy ending in this fic. which i'd like to have#that fic also takes place after sparda's gone so. y'know.#but yeah i...as i'm writing this i now have somewhat of an idea for an ending but it's. bittersweet? maybe? hmmm#but yeah! never underestimate my love for time travel fics it's my favorite trope of all time. has been since i met trunks dbz as a kid.#erurandomness#erubabbles

yk i was working on a post where i tried to guess the next relations event after the kurumi and miiko relations but ig i was gonna be wrong either way bc there wasnt going to be any relations after that lmfao 🥲
#crow talks#d4dj#d4dj groovy mix#lol.....#i'll just say my guess in the tags....#since this is going by unit and we already got a peaky rondo hapiara photon and lyrilily ones the next one wouldve been M4 (RIP M4 fans...)#it seems to me they were saving the really important relationships for the other units or guys we already saw get close so it wouldve been-#(probably) dalia and rika relations or a marika and saori one#bc we know how dalia and rika met (road to d4fes) and their relationship (kinda of) so we might've learned about their older brothers.#something about rika's older brother and how his illness affected younger rika and dalia's brother with how badly he wants to be a chef--#but is struggling bc he has something missing he cant see but his father can.#or maybe we can finally learn more abt rika's savior complex and dalia's self-consciousness about her eyes. maybe those can connect.#marika saori relations..... hmmm. a bit hard but my guess is:#since some of the relations events (of course) build off info from the last one marika might be trying to audition for a role in a film bc-#she told towa abt it and how she wants to be more confident and cool like..... rika.#she kind of opens up to saori about how unconfident she is with acting and saori helps her out by acting with her. kind of gay thing ensues#what im saying is something similar to the aoi and haruna relations but it's another play/movie and both of them gain confidence#that or it would've been marika rika relations and a saori dalia relations hm.#idk is this an interesting relations premise? you tell me.

okay penacony has been very fun so far but the only thing to actually make me say Oh Shit out loud was acheron saying yae sakura's line. anyway
#personal stuff#seraph plays star rail#watching firefly straight up die in front of me and going haha but this is just a dream. right. right.#they wouldn't kill off a character with a playable design before making money off of them. right. Right.#anyway acheron. my wife. she stabbed me and then cried blood about it i trust her with my life.#she saved me from an ominous twink by forgetting where her room was. i love her#but yea ''no compassion for the enemy for that is cruelty upon yourself. but you must see clearly who the enemy truly is''#is the same as yae sakura's ''whoever shows mercy to an enemy denies it to themselves. but you must know who your true enemy is''#like HMMM.#so interested to find out more about her i LOVE how ominous she is about possibly knowing us before#SHE'S AN EMANATOR??? wait her being a finality emanator would be so fucking cool. explains her having ''met us'' before#since finality goes backwards through time.#ROBIN?????????#FUCK.#SHAKING HYV STOP KILLING OFF THE ONLY CHARACTERS I WAS INTERESTED IN.#man.#penacony is NOT shaping up to be what i expected#in a good way mostly but also like...............#so many deaths in the first act?????????#two of the characters i really was interested in. and then duke ifrit just. off screen???#i find it hard to believe that the trailer they dropped with the everflame mansion character designs was just like. a red herring#AND SPEAKING OF IFRIT. still don't know what's going on w him and ratio tbh. but him just Leaving at the beginning was so fucking funny#anyway. i'm not opposed to penacony being a more serious turn but like. it feels so weird like okay we are jumping RIGHT into it#it's hard to really wrap my head around some of it because like. they specifically said you don't die in real life if you die in the dream?#like you just wake up.#and we still don't know who or what supposedly killed robin#so. hmmm#idk. i am looking forward to future installments but i'm wary on principle of me not always liking star rail's story#but so far they have been treating the tragedy with appropriate weight. which was a gripe i had before#and i like that we've mostly been on our own on this one and experiencing things ourselves

i like to think post-canon beej would try really hard to make the netherworld a place where you don't have to feel alone anymore
#beetlejuice musical#beetlejuice#headcanon#not sure if he takes juno's work because i think he already tried and was unhappy with it. i dont thiiiink hes in charge but#im not entirely sure how the netherworld works either. i was under the impression all the people we meet in what i know now were just-#in Waiting. like beej at the end of the movie? waiting to move on#and the only ppl who inhabit the netherworld are inborne or however u spell it. the born dead. the demons. and breathers get to move on?#but hmmm im not sure!! it's always shifting in my mind#either way miss argentina said every1 in the netherworld is alone and beej also felt super alone and ''hes the loneliest guy ive ever met''#etc etc so IM thinking no matter what. he wants to change that :) now that he can#what beej really wanted deep down was to be able to change things!! both him and lydia felt stuck and unable to change anything#he is happy. he got what he wanted... he was able to go back home and change things...#i do still like to think he can visit the deetzmaits whenever he likes. im not sure how he gets back to the netherworld tho#just use the door? hm yea i guess. i mean lydia could cross it and she wasnt recently deceased so i guess the point is he didnt WANT to
