Gotham Is Sentient my HC:
Bruce actually talks to her. Like out loud. It freaks people who cant see her tf out
She doesn't actually have a real form per se, its more like a vibe, but she has gentle, slender hands and a sharp nose and long dark black hair. Thats the most defining features. Also she doesn't like walking and kinda floats over his shoulder like a weird ass angel and devil type shit
She does call herself Bruceâs mother. Bruce doesn't not reciprocate the title and she is mad about it âstop denying me parental rights!!â
She also doesn't take so kindly to alfred for a plethora of reasons, but does not voice them because Bruce doesn't like it
Every single one of the batkids can see her (eventually) but they thought he was crazy and sometimes still pretend they cant just to fuck with him- especially if a new kid is around Dick: Bruce who are you talking to? Bruce: Gotham??? Dick what do you mean sheâs right here? Dick: Bruce⊠what are you talking about? Bruce: I know you can see her Dick donât fuck with me- Newly Robin Jason: *slowly backing away*
The kids do call her Grandma on occasion
Steph was the first to see her and chatted with her before she even met Bruce
All the other kids see her because theyâre extensions of Bruce
When the Watchtower is at the just right angle she can appear there too, otherwise sheâs confined to just Gotham
Bludhaven does not have a spirit because its a new city and doesn't have all the curse and shit gotham does- also its new and hasn't had enough time to build a spirit- but Gotham has already named her- âof course its going to be a woman Richard, no useless man city will ever claim you.â â... I am a man Gotham.â âhush child don't remind meâÂ
Anyway she holds that against Dick but he always âbuysâ his way back into her good graces when he visits with trinkets or a new flip or smth "you fold so quickly" "shut up Bruce don't talk to your mother like that- he brought me a bracelet!" "you dont have arms"
Bruce did the âI don't have a mom. Or a dad.â âim right here!â âSometimes i can still hear her voiceâŠâ because Dick forced him to and its the only time he has ever even mildly consented to having her be called his mom
Bruce is mostly human because of her. Mostly. He discovers this fact once when talking to Clark and the hero goes like âi still canât believe you do this and youâre human.â *said with horror disgust and awe* and Gotham laughed awkwardly and went âwellllllâŠâ
Stephanie is her golden child and while she adores Bruce he is her gorgeous baby prince, she will take Stephâs side on almost every matter just to annoying
Dick first saw her when he put Zucco in prison and didn't kill him Bruce: *proud Dick made the right choice* Dick: *staring at him in horror* Bruce: *turns to look around* what? Dick: *horrified that Bruce isn't actually insane* theres a woman floating next to your head⊠Gotham: *delighted!* he can see me!
Once they see her they can never stop. Its lovely and also horrible.Â
Jason first saw her when he was running away from Bruce after nailing him in the dick with a socket wrench when they first met Jason: Ya big boob! Bruce: *loosing it with laughter* Gotham: *wiping away tears* Jason: *what the fuuuuckkk* why is there a lady here? Gotham: *delighted!* already!!?!?!?! Ohhh Richard is not going to be happy about this
Tim first saw her about a month into Robin, for no special reason at all really, he and Bruce were just chilling on a roof and he leaned against Bruceâs side and pop a woman appeared next to him, watching the sunrise with him and he was like !!!!! and she was like !!!!!!!!!! and yeah
Cass met her a second before she met Bruce, hunched in an alleyway, and she cocked her head at her like a cat, Gotham mirrored it, and then Bruce dropped from the skyÂ
Gotham has been with Bruce since before his parents died but before Batman she appeared as different likeâŠvibes and it takes Bruce like solid years into being Batman to realize this Bruce: *!!!!* Gotham: what.. Bruce: you! You were that random thing I saw floating around the house!! Gotham: *sliding away casually* whaaaaat? Bruce: Don't you fucking dare- I thought I was insane! My parents were a hair away from calling a doctor for me! Gotham: how do you claim not to be insane- Bruce: *!!!!* You!!!!!
Babs met her after she had already retired Batgirl, one slow day as Oracle Babs: alright Batman, that should be the last of them, the signal is off, head home Bruce: copy that, thank you O. Babs: *tired, leans back in her chair* *muttering* at least he has manners now.. Gotham: *sitting on the table next to her* I told him I could raise him better than that British guy Babs: *startled, almost falls out of chair* wha-who- huh??? Gotham: *blinks. Blinks again* you can see me.. Babs: *stares. Blinks. Blinks again. Rubs tired hand over face* fuck⊠and here I thought he was just a crazy man talking to himself⊠Gotham: *grinning* nope! Babs: i wanted him to be a crazy man talking to himself. Gotham:... well technically he still is
Duke met her in the middle of a fight Duke: um. Hello. Gotham: *floating next to him* hi! Duke: *throws a dude out the window* do you uh⊠hi? Civilians should be evacuating... Gotham: *grinning* Ooooh youâre fun Duke Thomas. Duke: th-thank you? ~Later~ Tim: oh my gods tell me you did not say that?!?! Duke: IDK!!! Its a spirit! The Spirit Of Gotham dude! What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to handle that??? Gotham: *right next to him* Well Tim handled it quite well Duke: *scrambles up and falls over the back of the couch* Tim+Gotham:... Duke: *from the floor* why did I ever agree to be apart of this family Tim: *leaning over the back of the couch* i have no idea man Gotham: *cheerily* oh neither of you wouldâve escaped it, don't worry! Tim+Duke:... Duke: i find that very worryingâŠ
Oh i forgot- when she appears in the Watchtower Bruce flinches every time because she just materializes and shes the only thing/person/whatever that can actually sneak up on him successfully. It always freaks every hero nearby the fuck out because whatjustscaredthebatomgwhat- and so she specifically does it when hes in the middle of meetings. The kids think its hilarious. Bruce is not amused
Thats all i've got for now! Feel free to add your own or not or wtv⊠idk! :)

sooo glad we live in the universe where twdgs4 was rewritten to be about saving the school instead of the original lis2-esque on the road each-episode-is-a-new-location plot. really dodged a bullet there
dont know if it was due to the cuts and collapsing work environment (no budget for all the assets needed) or what but the school plot is just like the perfect setting for her to end her story. and we really almost got a plot about her.... just trying to make it back to her original house? oof
#my biggest problem with lis2 is that being on the road made a lot of your choices essentially meaningless#like wheres the threat of consequence when you know youll be gone by the next episode anyway?#the kids were originally gonna kick them out permanently.......Nightmare Scenario#the plot of her trying to get back 'home' is so silly honestly like its Just nostalgia/fan bait. convince me otherwise you cant#it makes no sense....she lived right outside a major city... that place is Not safe anymore#it wasnt even safe when she left it 8 years ago girl why would you go back#her finding a place to MAKE a new home and having to fight for it? with a community of her peers who love and respect her? so much better#shes a community leader now :) of a bunch of kids living secretly in the woods just trying to make a safe home for themselves#in a hostile world that wants them dead#love that for her#shes been managing adults since she was 11 and even before that tried to be a voice of reason. at 8 years old. community leader makes sense#s4 is just so narratively sound to me for clems character that i cant believe there was ever any other direction they wanted to go in#every time im thinking about how good s4 is i remember what it almost was......... and i am so grateful we got what we did#not only do we live in the universe where s4 is about the school but we Also live in the universe where s4 was un-cancelled :) yay#shit makes me so happy man. i remember clem is living happily at ericsons and my day is Immediately improved#these little fictional bitches in my head giving me free serotonin on command#it speaks#twdg

TIDES OF DESIRE! âŠïŸâĄïž

SYNOPSIS! â after years of war and sacrifice, armin is finally free to focus on rebuilding the world, but he is still really stressed due to the heaviness of the responsibility in his hands. one night you spotted him along side the beach and decided to join him to talk and get your mind off things. ouhh then spicyy heheehe
CONTAINS â ( 1k+ words of... ) virgin!armin x reader, fluff, nsfw, after the last attack au, public sex, public display of affection (pda), creampie, slight choking, softdom!reader, use of pet names (e.g. baby), explicit language, lowercase intended!
© arminsbaby
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
the war was over. the fighting, the death, the endless fear âit was all behind you. but peace didnât erase the scars it left behind.
armin had become one of the most respected leaders in the world, his days filled with meetings, maps, and decisions that would shape the future. but even the greatest minds needed rest. and tonight, he had wandered to the beach, seeking peace in the sound of the waves.
you found him there, sitting in the cool sand, his blond hair ruffled by the wind. his boots were off, his feet sinking into the damp shore, and his blue eyes stared out at the ocean, lost in thought.
âyouâre thinking too much again,â you teased as you sat beside him.
armin let out a soft chuckle, but it didnât reach his eyes. âi canât help it. thereâs so much to do⊠so much to fix.â
you sighed, nudging his shoulder. âyou donât have to carry everything alone, you know.â
silence stretched between you, filled only by the steady crash of the waves. then, armin turned to you, his gaze softer now, more vulnerable.
âi know,â he murmured. âbut itâs hard to stop.â
the way he looked at you made your heart race. there had always been something between youâsomething unspoken, lingering in the way he held your gaze just a little too long, the way his fingers would brush yours, hesitant but deliberate.
tonight, under the moonlight, that something felt stronger than ever.
you reached out, resting your hand over his. âthen let me take some of the weight. just for tonight.â
arminâs breath hitched, his adamâs apple bobbing. âare you sure?â he swallowed before looking away and continuing. âive never.. done anything before.â he whispered gently, blushing softly while looking down, too embarrassed to look you in the eye.
you didnât answer with words. instead, you leaned in, closing the space between you. his breath mingled with yours, warm and uneven. then, finally, you closed the gap between you both.
it started slow â almost shy, as if he was afraid to break the moment, since you bith knew he wasnt as skilled. but when you responded, tilting your head and pressing closer, something inside him shifted. his hands found your waist, pulling you against him, and the kiss deepened.
armin wasnât just gentle â he was careful, thoughtful, like he was memorizing every part of you. his fingers traced the curve of your back, his lips soft but eager as he explored this new, side of you.
the sand was cool beneath you, but his body was warm, his weight grounding as he guided you down with quiet reverence. the night air wrapped around you both, salty and fresh, but all you could focus on was him â his touch, his breath, the quiet, desperate sounds he made as he lost himself in you.
he whispered your name like a prayer, like you were the only thing anchoring him to the present. and in that moment, with the ocean singing its endless song beside you, nothing else mattered.
she pulled away softly to catch her breath, looking around to check if anyone was nearby.
ân-no one passes through here.. dont worry..â he says softly, still panting.
she looked at him gently, before straddling him. he gasps, but is quickly muted by another gentle kiss. armin cant believe this is happening â i mean, to him you were the most beautiful girl in the world, why would you choose him?
you, on the other hand, had fallen in love with armin way before the last attack. he had never left your mind since you first joined the 104 cadets, and your love for him had been going ever since. and you wanted to show him just that.
soon, however, he shifts on top of you, pushing you to lay on your back underneath him. he starts to let his desire leak into his kiss, his tongue mixing with yours. panting heavily, he subconsciously shifts his leg in between yours. he starts to move it up and down, grinding it on your clit, and making you gasp in surprise. he plants kisses up your neck, continuing to pleasure you.
âw-where did you learn this m-min..~?â she says softly while trying to hide her whimpers and moans.
âm-mightâve walked in on jean once or twice..â he said while continuing to kiss your neck gently.
âa-are you sure no one.. c-comes here..?â she whimpered from under him. this makes him pull away, looking at you from above.
âare you uncomfortable, y/n?â he murmured, hoping otherwise.
ân-nono its just.. its so open.. i wanted this moment to be private..â she whispered, turning her head away to avoid eye contact.
âif it makes you feel any better.. i have another spot.. i promise you its secluded.. wanna try there..?â he whispered shyly, softly turning her head to face him once again. she nodded, smiling at his quick understanding.
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âf-fuck..!â she groaned as she bottomed down on his dick. armin couldnât help but hiss through gritted teeth as you took him into your needy cunt. your soaked pussy squeezing his overly sensitive cock back in with every slow motion of your hips.
he whimpered under her, holding her close. âminn..? you okay baby..?â she whispered as she looked down, noticing he had barried his face in her now exposed chest.
ây-yeah..â he whispered as he looked up at her, his fucked out expression making her clench around him.
she used the rocky wall behind her to balance and started moving up and down on his cock, making him grip her waist tighter, whimpering like a bitch underneath her.
before you, the blonde hadnât had as much as his first kiss, and had little to no experience; but thankfully, you didnât mind as much as he imagined you would.
âf-faster.. please..!â he whispered against your tits. you quickly obliged, getting on your knees and quicked the rhythm of your hips. he pulled his head away from between your bouncing tits and leaned his head against the wall behind him, rolling his eyes back and bitting his lip to prevent any whiny noises from escaping. she kept going, her tits bouncing with her as she sped up the pase once more.
watching this happen right infront of his eyes awoke something inside him, making him suddenly lower his hands from her waist to her ass, starting to move his hips upwards, matching her pace. she rolled her eyes back as he started to pound the gummy spot inside of her, making her cry out in pleasure. she looked down as she grabbed him by the neck, making him whimper before being quickly silenced by a fierce and sloppy kiss.
she squeezed his neck, pulling away and resting her forehead on his, whimpering and moaning like a bitch in heat as he pounded her poor pussy. âr-right there.. f-fuck..~! gânna cum~!â she rolled her eyes back in pure ecstasy.
âm-me too baby..!â he managed to say before he flooded her with his cum, shooting his thick white ropes deep inside you. you came with him, your walls tighting around him as you drained his balls dry.
you both sat there, intertwined and panting, listening to the relaxing sounds of waves while cooling down from your high.
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
this is my first ever short story so please be nice!

love was the law | reneé rapp.

warnings: religious household, internal homophobia, denial, angst and i think thats it.
summary: she was your childhood bsf, but you grew differently⊠what happens when you arenât able to control yourself anymore? well, you truly saw the consequences of that.
âwhy does my skin starts to burn?â
thatâs the only thought that would keep you up all night, was it so wrong? but why you couldnât get enough of her?
â months before.
you and reneé had been best friends for almost your entire existence, she had always been your home, your safe space.
You truly believed that nothing would ever keep you away from each other, well, you were wrong.
since you two started growing up, she had always been that rebellious kid, and you? you were your parents babydoll, always dressed in pink, bows all over your hair, long shiny skirts⊠while she always dressed boyish, and it annoyed your parents, really annoyed them.
you were in your junior year of high school, reneĂ© was in her senior, she was two years older than you, you two had changed, and you could help but blush around her, she always treated you so nicely, you just thought of her all the time. this is normal isnât it? she is your best friend, is normal to want her all the time.. to shiver each time her hands acidentally brush your thighs.
her being older wouldnât matter to you, but it did to your parents.
can you picture an extremely religious household? well you could, because you lived in one, your best friend always invited you to do stuff and you were almost locked inside your house 24/7.
she had invited you to an party, but you politely said no, knowing that you couldnât go even if you wanted to.
well, she didnât listen this time, and now you were staring at your window, in panic.
reneé climbed an fucking tree.
she was outside your fucking window.
you were so fucking screwed.
âwhat are you waiting for?? open this up!â she whispered loud enough for you to hear and almost freak out, as soon as you opened the window, she slowly entered your bedroom
âwhat are you doing were?! itâs 10pm i need to sleep!!â you said, extremely paranoid that your parents would hear something, you felt your body burning around her, as she stared at you up and down with an smirk
âyou are going to that party, its my eighteen birthday, you have to go.â she said with an whiny tone, almost begging for you to go
âren you know that I canâtâŠâ you said breaking the eye contact, feeling embarrassed
âhey, look at meâ she gently touched your hands, holding your pinky finger âi will bring you back in less than 2 hours okay? pinky promise.â she said looking deeply at your eyes, her gaze always made your heart race and you didnât understand why.
âokay.. but i donât know what to wear, and i know your friends would make fun of me if i showed up with any of my pink dresses.â you knew that reneĂ©âs friends were the cool kids, you truly couldnât understand why she even sticked by your side.
âdo you think i didnât thought about that?â she said with an cozy smile, giggling as she handed you an pink top with a little bow, delicate lacy details, and some of her pants⊠âmastermind here babe.â she says in an cocky tone, giggling. but you just blushed heavily with the nickname, she would normally just call you âbunnyâ, âdarlingââŠ
âdo you bought this top just for me? its not something you would usually have in your wardrobeâŠâ you giggle shyly, she was usually with baggy clothes, nothing that feminine and delicate.
âyep, im not such a princess like you are, now go get dressed, i cant be late to my own partyâ she giggled pushing you to your closet, as you dresses the outfit she gave you⊠the top was tight, tight enough to make a little bit of your chest show.
you really wanted to wear it so you put an white jacket on top of it. as you walked out of the closet, reneé just stared at you.
âyouâre gorgeous bunnyâ she said getting closer to you and grabbing your hand âready to go?â you quickly nod your head as she helps you jump your own window.
â 1 hour after.
she didnât leave your side, but you could feel all the looks her friends gave you, it made you want to cry. as soon as you could, you locked yourself in the bathroom.
âwhatâs wrong with me?â
thatâs all you could think, until you heard an knock on the door. âbunny? are you in there? let me inâ you opened the door to find reneĂ© with her messy blonde hair and her deep blue eyes staring at you.
âwhat happened? did someone said something to you? are you okay?â she said feeling your sad gaze, she stared at you with genuine concern. but you didnât say nothing, you just look down as she surprises you by wrapping her both arms around your sides, hugging you tightly.
you couldnât do nothing but hug her back and shiver with her warmth⊠you felt your heart racing, your body trembling, your legs slightly shaking. you finally stared at her, but not in an usual way, you couldnât control yourself, you just followed your instincts. you were tired of holding back what you craved for years.
âbunny? what are you doin-â she tried to say before you interrupted her with your lips on her mouth, she was surprised but she kissed you back. you didnât have any experience in this, the kiss started in a sloppy way until she started to control it. reneĂ©âs hands started to go down your sides, landing on your waist.
the kiss was slow, soft, passionate⊠until you back down and stared at her in disbelief. âi-im sorryâ you said as she stared at you with an smirk âstop it bunny, you donât imagine how long i was waiting to do thisâ her smirk disappeared as tears started going down your face.
âthis is wrong, i need to go, i need to go homeâ you said frenetically, almost having an panic attack.
âw-wait, what?â she says not understanding why you were so freaked out
âi canât be like this, i-i canât be a lesbian, i literally canât, i am a good girl i-i need to act like one⊠f-fuck why i feel like my skin is burningâ
you walked out of the bathroom, leaving her alone there as she tried to follow you, you started almost running. ây/n! please come here!â she says tearing up as she runs towards you, when she can finally catch your arm she tries not to cry.
âi-i can take you home, please donât do this to me bunny, please.â she says tearing apart as she could feel your denial.
âm-my parents were right.. i c-canât be your friend ren⊠i-i dream of eternal life, i canât end up going to hell⊠i c-cant sin like this.â you said sobbing, backing off as she tries to walk towards you.
âbunny i love you, please, loving someone canât be the wrong thing to do, right?â she looked at you forcing an smile âright?â she started sobbing as you kept quiet
âgod wouldnât approve us, h-he didnt made me to do such thingsâŠ. religion is almost the law.â you said sobbing less then before
âlove will always be the law, religion is taught.â she says, trying to make you stay.
âi canât do this, i-im sorry ren.â you said as you continued to walk away from there, with tears rolling down your cheeks. You looked back, seeing her staring at you from a far, like she was waiting for you to come back and hug her again, tell her its okay and you can still be friends. but it didnât happened.
you came back to your house, sleeping on top of your soaked bible⊠you cried yourself to sleep that night. the guilt was inside of you, you felt dirty, gross, unlovable. Why you felt like this? why couldnât you be like her and love who you want to?
you just couldnât let yourself be like this, you had to be âperfectâ, and perfect girls donât kiss other girls⊠right?
â 4 years later.
For all these years, the only thing you did was fighted with all the thoughts that made you believe that you need to be âperfectâ⊠one of those things was leaving your parents house and moving to college.
You still remembered her, i think the only thing you couldnât remember is anytime when she wasnât in your thoughts. You stalked her on social media, you knew that she had a new girlfriend, you were truly happy for her, besides the thought..
âwhat would happen if I didnât runned away that night? what would happen if i didnât ghosted her? that could be me?â
but the hardest one was thinking that shes right, she deserves someone who had always been ready to show the world what they are⊠someone unlike you, someone better. that was what made you cry to sleep almost all night.
your college was an really good one, you had a wonderful roommate and you were following your dreams, isnât that beautiful? well, now you were free from your household and from yourself⊠but something brought you back there.
ây/n? is it you?â
you heard her voice, reneĂ©âs voice;
and you felt your heart racing just like before;
youâre so fucking screwed.
HEYY GUYS, IM SO GLADD TO BE BACK HERE, HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS!!

last november i was in china when my little brother called me and told me to come home. over summer my nan, my mums mum, had passed away before i had managed to get back to see her and my mum, my best friend in the world, had a heart attack soon after. i was with her then. we went to the funeral. she got better. we saw robbie williams live. we went out drinking and to the beach and watched coyote ugly and la la land together, our fave movies.
when my brother called me to tell me mum had cancer i knew it was bad. i lost my best friend to cancer when we were just 16 years old. thats never a good word. but its my mum. and to quote her days after her own mums death 'i always knew one day my mum would die but i never knew she would, like, actually die'.
i knew in the back of my head why i was going home but i didnt believe it. i watched spiderverse for like the third time on the plane. i went to grab my suitcase and laughed when i realised i was at the wrong shanghai - gatwick conveyor belt. who knew there were two at almost the same time.
then my brother, my baby brother, who is 30 next year but was 28 and always our baby brother, called me and my life is never ever going to be the same. i knew the moment he called. and i sat on the floor at gatwick airport shaking and people kept coming over to ask if i was okay and finally my sister and my aunties, my mums sisters, arrived and they were let into the baggage area when they explained and picked me off the floor.
i dont think this is a grief that has settled yet. i was meant to see louis that night. i havent listened to a song by him since despite his music getting me through some of my hardest times. my denial, she'll walk through the door and say this was all a joke, phase went on for months after we planned and executed a funeral and wake on the beach in malta. i made a great playlist, i wrote a great eulogy. i did that but it didnt properly sink in why.
i still, almost a full year on, wake up and think about messaging her to tell her how im feeling and check in on her.
my mum used to send me one direction news she found on facebook every day. harrys got a new album emmy did you know? and i was like no mum wow thank you (of course i already knew). she loved niall and we were going to see him live together. she wasnt a big fan of louis' music but ached for what he'd been through. i woke up the day after hearing about liam expecting a text from her checking in because she got me 1d tickets in 2014 for my 23rd birthday and she brought me merch and the dvd of the movie -
my mum who hated the beatles because they were too mainstream but loved what i loved because i loved it and was passionate about it. god she would have been crushed for me today. she would have been heart broken.
and i think this has hit me like a train not only because everyone who knows me knows how much i loved liam as if he was my own friend, but also because this past year has been so full of grief i dont always know how to get out of bed. my dads mum passed a few months ago. my family are wrecked with it. this past year has been a nightmare we can't get out of.
i always related to liam as someone who was bullied at school and as someone who suffers from mental illness and has suffered from alcoholism, thankfully, for me, something ive managed to come back from and im sober and i always hoped for that for him. its such a hard fucking mountain to climb and i didn't have to deal with the fame side of it and this whole other thing he had to carry. i always wanted him to get better but in the back of my head i had this feeling, i had this fear that i would one day log into tumblr and see the worst.
i still cant, and im sure for a long time won't, believe this real. thats one of my boys. we were very much meant to get old together. i wanted to see him get better. i cant begin to comprehend the fact he wont have that chance. this still doesnt feel real to me man. thats my boy.
just a few days ago I was in a convenience store and they were playing heart meets break and i was jamming and excited to hear my boy in a store. i keep remembering its happened, and i look at the photo on my bedside of me and my mum at the robbie williams concert and i could really do with her right now. a link to a facebook article and her over use of emojis - a shocked and crying face and a broken heart. because what else can express this?
i know i didnt know him but i always had the comfort of knowing of him, of listening to his music and watching his videos and feeling less alone in a cruel and lonely world.
its okay to be a fucking mess, if you can take time out please do. i wish this world allowed more of that. after my mum everyone had to go back to jobs and life and it still blows my mind that i was walking down the street then and today and everything was the same. the world should pause but it doesn't.
at the end of all of this, one day this might settle and make sense but right now it doesnt at all and thats how these things work. i love you all, this is not something i thought we would have to face until we had all grown old and spent all of our money on reunion tickets and seen our boys grow old and live their lives.
give people you love a hug, tell people you love that you care about them, work out problems and differences if you can and make the most of it. you never know how much time you have.

#death cw#grief cw#i dont think people will see this but i gotta rant about shit somewhere#and if you do see this all my love#i wish i was getting to a stage where this makes sense but im still very much not#im seeing the boys talk about it and still not

Breaking the media

Chapter 9- the media can be scary
You woke to the sound of your name being shouted along the corridor from alexia, so you picked up your phone and walked to the kitchen to find alexia had made breakfast for the two of yous. You opened your phone, and you looked as every single social media of yours had blown up, and the news was all on you. The comments of the next england star girl takes stage at Barcelona at just 16. You almost couldn't believe it. Your transfer had already gotten some attention from the media, but this. This was collosal in less that 24hrs you had gained over 100k followers on Instagram, you couldn't really believe it. Since you had played at arsenal you had been under a watchful eye by the media yet it never phased you but this was different there was alot more news on you and the pressure started to weigh on your shoulders.
Alexia had snapped you out of your thoughts by telling you to hurry up to go to training. You had arrived sharply on time for a match debrief "ohh heres the famous y/n watch out" mapi joked with you "oh shut it mapi you're just jealous that im all over the news and you're not" you responded to her laughing lightly. You had sat on the end of the row hoping to get some peace as everyone sat next to their respective friends, and then it was lucy who came to sit next to you. "You okay?" you asked her "yeah yeah its just a calf pull its not anything to worry about, the only thing i should be worried about is you taking my spot" she responded laughing at the last part of the sentence "oh god no i could never take your spot but in a a year or so cant garentee that one" you responded to her while being told to sushh by your teamates as the meeting started. The meeting was boring you spent more time playing with the strings on your shorts then paying attention as the whole presentation was in spanish and although alexia had been helping you learn to speak spanish it wasn't going on the easiest of paths. However, you did understand one bit when lucy translated that you were going to do media with ona alexia and ingrid for the next hour or so.
"Media really this isn't going to go well, why not someone else" you asked begging to be swapped "no can do, you're the one with all the hype around you the club has to capitalise of it" alexia said putting her arm around your shoulders and dragging you to the media room. You and alexia had been set with the first set of press while ingrid and ona did interviews then yous would swap."bon dia alexia y y/n tengo algunas preguntas sobre el juego" the man continued alexia waited till he was finished when she translated the conversation to you "he said he had a few questions about the game" she whispered to you. The man had asked you how you felt with all the media stories and before you started you decided to make the conversation potentially easier "ermm no hablo espanol sorry i haven't gotten round to mastering the spanish language but i think the media can be positive influencing to motivate me but too much of it can be pressuring especially the ones bringing in national teams" you responded trying to be as professional as possible. After 15 minutes later of questions you and alexia were promptly moved out of the room and to interviews you were each given a list of places to go to luckily yours had been to the English media where alexia had the spanish media. The interviews went okay there was a few questions which were definitely different than usual but one sparked your thoughts "so y/n how do you feel about the increasing number of comments on your post of people commenting on your looks" the reporter asked "if im being honest i haven't looked at the comments but i am 16 so depending on the nature of the comment would depend my response as im open to compliments but i dont think its appropriate to sexualise a teenager or any player as a matter of fact i want to be known for being a good player not for looking good" you replied.
As soon as the media had ended you clicked on your recent post and went straight to the comment section and god it was not a sight you wanted to see it was a mixture of positive comments some wierd over sexulising remark or a hate comment about how you didn't deserve to play on the team or you only played because it would bring attention to the club. You wished you never opened them as a swirling pit of guilt formed were you just there to bring attention to the club? Did you deserve to even be at Barcelona? The thoughts clung to you like a dark web clouding your mind and it was showing. Training followed and you were playing sloppy missing easy tackles and making bad passes this just made your thoughts spiral so when yous were instructed to take a break it was alexia who decided to ask what was wrong as she could tell not just by your preformance but by the way your eyes were dulled and your eyebrows ever so slightly knitted together she knew something was bothering you.
"Hey pequeña what wrong your not playing like you normally do whats on your mind" she said looking at you the minute she asked this tears welled in your eyes it was pathetic you thought to yourself "i.. erm i dont know i guess i just paid too much attention to what everyone was saying and its not very nice" you said dropping your head in defeat "oh come here, do not believe what they say okay whatever it is its wrong i promise you" she said wrapping you in a hug as you pulled back you grabbed your phone out of your bag and showed alexia the comments and the dms of people "trust me y/n they're wrong you are good enough to play for this team and ignore those creeps because unfortunately we cant do much to make it stop but we can move on as if they never existed" she said standing back up to train again. And yet again alexia knew what to tell you how to remove that cloud that sat in your thoughts weighing you down you now just felt lighter.
Alexia had become a solution to your problems one you could rely on. One who cared for you it was unusual but nice the last time you had felt this loved by a person was your foster family back in London who looked after you while you were at arsenal. She had drove yous home and had began to cook dinner for both of you when she casually slipped into conversation "you know jona is thinking about starting you next game due to lucy and jana being injured" "what, you're joking right" you responded "no no of course not but you need to put in the work tomorrow to make sure he will" she replied as she put the pasta on the boil. You had ate your dinner together and watched tv before going to sleep and the thought of starting lingered in your head it was like you had gone to sleep with a smile on your face at the thought of starting.

yesterday i wrote a scene where jade wasnt a plot device and was left the hell alone in A6A5 because this being dave and jadeâs last proper conversation in years made me sad and i wanted to see them reunite properly. i mixed a bit of narration in too even though it was rare around this point in the comic but its just to paint a better picture. also i wouldnt mind feedback on character voice (itâs important to me that the dialogue sounds believable)
[3 years are over, everyone is in the new session. The prospit ship is on LOMAX, as is everyone who arrived on the meteor, safely warped by Jade onto LOMAX as well. Jade has banished B2 Jack to the Furthest Ring already. She hasn't seen her friends in 3 years, not to mention she never met the trolls in person yet.]
[Jade teleports to LOMAX where John was talking with the meteor crew. Her eyes widen when she sees the trolls, giving everyone a greeting. Jade waves to the trolls.]
Youâll have time to catch up with them later. First you want to reconvene with Rose and Dave.
> ==>
Dave... Oh my god! DAVE!!! Thatâs right! The last time you saw him, he died in your arms after Jack redirected the bullets from your gun into his body!
JADE: dave!!!! DAVE: hey DAVE: this has been three years coming hasnt it DAVE: cmere
> ==>
[Dave hugs Jade with a slight grin on face. He notices her⊠sniffing him?? but doesnât even bother to question it.]
JADE: it is so nice to hold your body when its not a corpse :) DAVE: ok DAVE: weird thing to say DAVE: actually who am i kidding who gives a shit DAVE: i almost forgot how much i missed the enigmatic riddlefuckery that is your phrasing DAVE: fortunately i have context for this so i know what youre saying DAVE: humor me for a sec and imagine that i didnt DAVE: but first DAVE: are those dog ears JADE: yes! i am part dog now JADE: because i prototyped my dreamself with becsprite JADE: jadesprite became part of me! and so did her doggy traits from bec DAVE: got it DAVE: oh yeah john mentioned that on the back of his dumb poster inside that bucket that appeared out of thin air DAVE: right before we had to haul ass out of there before jack caught up to us DAVE: karkat had a complete fucking meltdown over that btw i wish you couldve seen it DAVE: damn it feels like so long ago now JADE: heheheh i remember JADE: john realized it at the last second but it was too late! DAVE: of course it was johns idea only he could do something that gooberish DAVE: you know what this means though JADE: yup!! woof woof DAVE: it means youve done it harley DAVE: youve finally done it god damn it DAVE: the evolution of humankind is finally upon us DAVE: the scientists said it would never happen in our lifetime DAVE: but look what we have here DAVE: before me stands mans first legitimate furry subspecies DAVE: homo canis DAVE: as the name implies theyre gay as fuck btw DAVE: its too bad all those scientists are dead and cant witness this phylogenetic breakthrough DAVE: rip to the science community yall wouldve lost your collective shit DAVE: hey jade lets pour one out for the science community for being real ones
> ==>
You are still nestled into Daveâs shoulder. Heâs taken a sort of protective position over you. Your perceptive barkbeast ears can hear his formerly bullet-riddled heart beating a mile a minute with the regularity of quartz beneath his time-branded pajamas, all the while he continues to ramble to you about certifiably dumb shit. You can tell Dave is psyched to see you again, even if he expresses it in his OWN bizarre way, which means extended metaphors and topical tangents. What a hypocrite, calling YOUR phrasing perplexing! You sure missed this guy.
You realize you started tuning him out while thinking about all this.
DAVE: jade JADE: umm homo is the species name JADE: so wouldnt that mean were all gay? :p DAVE: yeah that sounds about right DAVE: anyway enough of this bullshit
> ==>
[Dave motions to retract his arms since he doesnât want it to get too weird, but Jade squeezes tighter. Dave immediately yields to the movement]
DAVE: jesus wow ok DAVE: really happy to see you too DAVE: like if you had a tail it would be wagging so forcefully youd be knocking over all the fucking furnishings in the room DAVE: just slapping it so hard on the owners thigh that it feels like theyre being flogged DAVE: talk about getting bitch slapped JADE: :D DAVE: so howve you been JADE: really really excited to see you guys all again!!! JADE: and to meet the trolls! DAVE: yeah theyre pretty weird DAVE: and im still not used to it DAVE: but it gets more manageable the longer youre around them DAVE: by the way JADE: ?
> ==>
DAVE: sorry you had to go through that JADE: through what? DAVE: seeing me die and stuff again DAVE: except that time right in front of you JADE: .... DAVE: when we were gathering up all those frogs i knew jack was going to appear DAVE: i was waiting and waiting to play it out DAVE: mentally rehearsing my fucking torso getting turned into swiss cheese and knowing you would have to watch on top of it DAVE: i had to make sure it happened to protect the integrity of the alpha timeline DAVE: but if you knew this was going to happen you wouldve tried to prevent it and created a doomed one DAVE: and so i didnt say anything DAVE: i couldnt DAVE: so DAVE: sorry for putting you through that JADE: oh..... JADE: dave D: JADE: well im here JADE: if you ever want to talk about it DAVE: its cool DAVE: you just deserve to know what happened there DAVE: but thanks DAVE: so am i JADE: yeah i know JADE: i guess i should be glad you did that then... JADE: even though i was freaking out when it happened ._. JADE: otherwise you wouldnt be here will us now dressed in your red god tier time pajamas DAVE: yeah these magical rags really are comfortable arent they DAVE: and they stay like perma clean JADE: they are! i would wear mine over and over for days on end JADE: id take a nice shower and put it right back on JADE: and you know how much i love cycling my outfits through my wardrobifier JADE: by the way dave your cape is sooo cool! :o DAVE: thanks DAVE: yeah i love it its hella soft DAVE: its like ive got a portable snuggle blanket with me in case i ever need to drop to the floor like a tired sack of shit and get my snooze on DAVE: ive got a permanent personal reservation at club bed featuring dj pillow and mc blanky JADE: heheheh JADE: can i touch your cape? DAVE: of course go nuts JADE: yaaaay!!

psychhound games 2 year anniversary
wow ... i cant believe its already been two years since i started publishing games on itch but so much has happened in that time. i got promoted at my job, quit that job, started a master's program, became a teacher, decided to continue on to a phd, got published (twice), found meds that helped, made a lot of new friends, learned to cook, played in a good number of campaigns and short shots, and somehow, through all of that, i managed to publish (checks notes) 24 games, 2 zines, and an srd
in that time ive gotten over 20k views and almost 5000 downloads, as well as shout outs in video essays and podcasts. i've run two successful kickstarters and one that made it a far way but ended up teaching me more from its failure than i wouldve hoped
my goal when i started making ttrpgs was just to get a little bit of practice before i made my Big Dream Game. get my feet wet a little to learn the ropes and then design what i had actually set out to do in the first place - make a game designed specifically for therapeutic practice. and then i realized that i actually just really enjoy making games and kept making more and more and more of them until ... here we are
the first ttrpg i ever made literally came to me in a dream. my little sister was working for his college paper at the time and i dreamt that when he came to visit we played a silly comedy interviewing game i had made for her. so i woke up and made it. and then she visited and we played and it was a lot of fun!! and i was like. oh wait i can make games to make very specific people happy ... baller. so i kept doing that. made a game for my best friend where they could play as their cat and cause mischief and playing it for their birthday is such a cherished memory. my by far best selling game was made for a dear friend who's a photographer and lives in a big city and i wanted to blend city exploration, photography, and his love of a well-designed tarot deck into something fun he could do when he got out of the house. my most recent game was made because i wanted a tiny game i could print and send with my friends' holiday cards, and i know how much we all love writing and making crazy blorbo playlists so i made a playlist-driven writing game
over these two years its just become more and more obvious to me that my creativity that was once fueled so wholly by grief and trying to process it has now flipped around to being powered by joy and just overwhelming love. so many people in my life now who i love so wholeheartedly i found or got close to through playing ttrpgs, or being in the ttrpg community, and channeling that energy and that joy into making more of them to put out into the world has made my life so much better a million times over. i dont know where the future will take me but i hope to have such a long career of this - making through joy, engaging through play, growing through community - and i cant thank everyone whos supported me in getting here enough. im feeling very touched and very overwhelmed but just know that if youve ever bought one of my games, posted about playing it, left a nice review, or recommended it to a friend, you have my whole heart and i hope you have such a sweet new year
if you wanna check out my games you can find them on psychhound on itch or check out my portfolio and such on my website :) thanks everyone. happy new year

do u have any super awesome reko hcs ?? id like to hear yr thoughts :3
*cracks knuckles*
most of my ideas on her are based on canon, so ive never considered them outlandish enough to call headcanons, but i guess technically pretty much all of my rants about her could be sorted as such, since they try to build on what we already know and extrapolate an analysis. i have too many to list. ill try to compile some here, though. longer ones are under the cut.
i moreso stole this headcanon then made it but i agree that reko cant cook for shit. she lives off takeout and stuff she burnt in the microwave, much to her protective older brother's dismay.
i believe reko was putting on her makeup and styling her hair every morning in chapter 2. again, i stole this one.
i think reko would be really good at video games
reko would be very good at ice skating
despite being good at drawing her eyeliner, i dont think she can draw very well on paper.
reko paints her nails sometimes (she likes the smell) but its always chipped somehow, even if she just painted them.
she doesnt have an extensive (if any) skin care routine (thats more her brothers thing) but she does have a hair care routine after almost frying off all her hair several times trying to bleach it herself. she only dyes her bangs now but she still takes good care of her hair (especially with the way she has to style it everyday).
reko is either out of the bathroom in 2 seconds or she takes an hour because she gets distracted and starts messing with her hair or makeup. it used to drive alice crazy when they both lived with their parents. not now alice, you can go shit in the bushes, reko is using her eyeliner as face paint.
reko tries not to do this when shes working on new songs, but shes the type of person who almost always listening to some kind of music. she loves finding new music and new subgenres.
shes not really a messy person but shes not very neat, either. she usually has trash slowly building up somewhere. nothing 15 minutes of panic cleaning cant fix, but its there.
i think reko made / makes a lot of her own punk clothes and accessories, and generally has frugal habits around her style. it started when she was a teen because her rebelliousness and delinquency led to her being perpetually grounded, so no allowance. shes awful at customer service so she couldnt really get an entry level job. her music wasnt really marketable and she probably didnt have her own band in her younger teens ( i think samurai yaiba was probably only started when she was about to or already graduated high school) so there wasnt much if any income from there. she may have done some odd jobs but they didnt pay much and she was intimidating to people, so it was hard to get gigs. all this led to her getting good at sewing, dying, bleaching and otherwise making her own clothes. probably owns a bunch of pins, studs, and zippers in bulk just to sew onto stuff. i think the same thing applies to her make up- she uses fancier water / sweat proof on stage, but off stage? dollar store eyeliner and foundation. she doesnt care about the risks, she goes through her make up too fast to bother with the fancy stuff.
reko has an impressive memory generally, but when she struggles with it, she makes little songs or rhymes to help her remember (she did this to sometimes help her speed memorize for tests in school. then, she had to whisper-sing it under her breath and swing her foot to the beat and itd be all you could hear in the test room, and shed either get in trouble or just be really embarrassed).
speaking of school, i dont think reko went to college or post secondary school; in ytts theres a whole thing about her hating school. but aside from that, the timing would be really tight. shes canonically 23, samurai yaiba was 2 1/2 years ago, so she wouldve been 20-21, and you graduate high school at 18. i cant say i know a lot about japanese college, but if it has the same status of degrees as in the US, it wouldnt really make sense for her to have gone to college- she was likely a drop out or never went in the first place.
i think reko has some burner account(s) where she dumps experimental music. its not always avant garde, but she likes playing with different genres. the problem is they keep escaping containment, even though shes embarrassed by them and thinks theyre all shit. no one can know about her breakcore album with 6 million views that she made while she was drunk and garage band crashed halfway through so theres weird chunks missing and distorted audio. no one. no one can know about the ska music made. god, not the ska.
reko has theater kid energy to me (both the yabusames do), but i doubt she was ever in any productions. her band/orchestra vibes are stronger and thats probably what she wouldve devoted all her time to instead. maybe, like, one musical, but she mightve not gotten the role she wanted and immediately quit. if she was, she drove everyone up a wall cause she was so hard to work with. shes a natural but she never shows up to any practices and is so easy to piss off, especially during the acting portions. skipping practice isnt a big deal to her because she can memorize things quickly, but it screws all the other actors up. she just isnt a team player (or rather, reko really wasnt a team player in highschool).
reko is a caffeine addict. she has overworking tendencies and i (used to) headcanon her as someone who abstains from alcohol / drugs / etc, so she resorts to coffee instead.
speaking of- i used to strongly believe reko wouldnt be the type to smoke or drink, specifically because i misinterpreted a line she said about her father ('hes not the best at staying true to his convictions, and gives into temptation') as being about addiction, when it was probably just supposed to be about her dad giving into the temptation of trying to make reko famous. looking back on it, thats closer to canon, and with the stress of being in the spotlight at such an early age and her self described 'delinquent phase' it makes a lot of sense to headcanon her as being a smoker or using other stimulants. i still think that you could possibly interpret her dad as having started doing those things at some point once they had surplus money from rekos early career, and i like the details that adds to her character; her trying to rebel from the industry not just out of a growing hate for it from being forced to do it, but also a wake up call for her father and hoping maybe hell stop if she refuses to be an idol anymore. her partially being so high strung later on because she never lets herself off the hook or resorts to substances that could calm her down.
i strongly believe reko has no idea how to actually be friends with people. like, yeah, when you talk to her during discussions she holds conversation pretty well and its not as if people dont want to be her friend or even that shes bad at it- its just that she has no experience. she doesnt know what shes doing. during pretty much the entirety of her developmental years, she was either getting forced into music stuff she didnt wanna do by her father or doing the music stuff she did wanna do. probably the only people she hung out with, if at all, were people she could hop the fence with to skip, and they werent really friends. alice even states himself that she had a habit of pushing people away and was alone.
in the same vein, alice may have dated more people than his far more charismatic sister. i refuse to drop this headcanon because its funny as hell. alice comes off strong, which you think would be a deterrent, but a lot of people are into that. its not as if reko doesnt, herself, but.... she has to deal with sheeping and girls thinking theyre just friends on top of that. moreover, i dont see reko as a flirty person- a lot of side content involves her getting flustered in some way. reko has an awkward flustered streak and it doesnt come out often but when it does it comes out strong, and its easy to find if you know where to look, so to speak. i mean, did you see the way she talked to nao on the 2f landing?
okay, i could keep going, but i ill spare you and stop here. thanks for letting me yap. or, rather, thanks for being my victim. if youve got stockholm syndrome, feel free to ask me for a part 2.
#the way you type reminds me of someone i know anon#argh... i feel like one of those old people who meet someone who reminds them of someone they knew decades ago and they start reminiscing#and treating you like that person#too specific?#ack... i feel all sentimental now...#obsession propagation#reko yabusame#reko yabusame headcanons#yttd#kimi ga shine#your turn to die#obsession original

My god. Where do I even begin?
I gave this book a 4.25 stars on fable, and we can get into why it wasnt a 5 star read for me later, but for now we can dive right into the positives.
R.F. Kuangâs writing has always been my favorite. Ever since I found and digested the first two books of The Poppy War trilogy (still havenât read #3), I knew I had found my new favorite author. This book only cemented that.
Never in my 20+ years of reading have I come across such an irredeemable protagonist and still felt such an urge to continue reading. As a chronic hate-reader, I have DNFâd many books over the years due to characters being so unfathomably stupid or problematic that I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. June Hayward made my teeth ache. She made the wrinkle between my eyebrows and the crinkles around my eyes deepenâI have never squinted more at a book more than I did when reading her unfiltered, inner monologues.
Juniper Song Hayward is flawed. She is guilty of many, manyâŠmanyâŠmicroagressions throughout the entirety of this novel (even tho some of them are more macro). She is lonely, she is insecure, and she is riddled with trauma and family issues no one wants to address. At times I forget I am reading the writings of Kuang, and not that of a white woman claiming she isnât racist and have to remind myself of that fact constantly.
Even outside of fantasy, Kuang transports you directly into each character beautifully. Itâs almost scary.
June becomes so wrapped up in her lies that she actually believes her stolen work is hersâŠshe transforms her delusion to reality and cant tell right from wrong. She pushes herself into a cycle of plagarism that ultimately is her downfall in an honestly very entertaining twist that i really, REALLLLYYY enjoyed.
The ending, while insane, was also very true to Juneâs character. I loved every second of this book. I really did.
Though I did feel, for a brief moment, that some of the pacing towards the 55-60% of the book seemed a little misplaced ? Or added just to create more pages ? The conflict revolving around Geoffâs reveal seemed to resolve pretty quickly and didnât really go anywhere.
Other than that, i loved everything.
Unique and complex characters all around. The Chinese Labour Corps, which I looked into and actually learned about (which Iâm sure was also Kuangâs intent). Insight into the publishing industry and its racism from an author viewed similarly to Athena Liu. There is so much to appreciate and take away from this novel.
âïžâïžâïžâïž.25 / 5 stars

Its early. Before sunrise. The girl hugs the small mon as she holds on to her pigdeot. Tears streak her face. She cant believe she just did that.
The bird lands and she checks the mon. Its so spaced out still. How long had it been locked in that closet in the dark? She hated her brother being so mean to pokemon.
She looks around, itll be okay here. She didnt know how to help. She took off her scarf to wrap it up with the note of what happened. She shouldnt be caught sneaking out. Maybe someday sheâll see it again after shes begin her journey next year. Happy and healthyâŠ
She pets its head. It doesnât respond, only hides its face from the start of light, too used to the dark and silence. So used to being devoid of sensory. So used to being aloneâŠ
âGood luck Stitch.â
This is Stitch. He has been trapped in a box in a dark quiet place for several months since my brother hatched him. Im going to tell him Stitch got out and ran away. Please help little Stitch.
**************
((Not the same day))
The trainer held the pokeball close. He cant believe his opponent had tried to break it with the pokemon inside.
âFine! Keep it! That feral thing isnât worth training! Its so weak and nothing i did worked!â
He pouted wishing he could come up with a great come back but he just got up from the dirt from the dive to save the pokeball. It did seem so angry and hurt and wouldnât listen when they battled⊠and then when he kicked the poor thing⊠He didnt blame the little mon for snapping back. Almost wished itd bit that jerk.
There was no way heâd be any better trying to train this little feisty mon. He took out his pokedex and looked up where he could take them. It was a bit of a ride on his bike, evening by the time he arrived but he made it there to drop off the little plusel, âThanks for taking in Cross. Shes hurt and is very very⊠fiesty. I hope she finds a great home that can handle her.â
Hello everyone,
We here at the center thought long and hard about sharing this story here on our official blog. Ultimately, it was decided that stories like this are important to share because it spreads awareness of some of the harsh realities of why some Pokemon end up in our care.
These two are not currently up for adoption. I wish to share progress of their recovery as they begin their stay here at our center as well as showcase how our process of rehabilitation goes.
Our first initial plans are to introduce these two to one another due to how important the bond between Plusle and Minun are to their overall health and wellbeing. While it isn't mandatory to have both, it can be a bit harder to care for one of these two if they are without a partner.
Nurse Joy will keep you updated on their health as their recovery goes along. If people are interested in seeing more about how we take care of Pokemon, I will consider adding a fourth employee to this blog.
Sincerely, Scott

long vent post abt covid + my sister
i genuinely dont know when the last time my little sister wasnt sick for more than two weeks was. im trying to remember but i cant . its been almost constant since she got covid in dec2021. and she has all these new allergies and symptoms and stuff she had as a baby came back after. and my parents are like antivax antimask "its just a cold" conspiracy theorists and they arent going to protect her they only got her her mandatory vaccines bc our doctor finally made them and theyre convinced shes always sick bc of the vaccines and not bc of covid. and i know theres nothing i can say or do that will get through to them. and i know my sister doesnt understand Why shes sick all the time so of course shes going to believe our parents because shes a kid why wouldnt she believe them. and i know eventually she'll figure out why shes so sick. when long covid gets talked about more when i figure out how to explain it to her etc eventually she'll find out and it's going to like. ruin her view of our parents and the world at large
and i spent my whole childhood since the day she was born making it like my lifes mission to keep her safe but i had no hope of protecting her against this there was no way i could have done much but my parents could have and should have and now they blame it all on the vaccines its because the doctor gave her vaccines no it isnt!!! no it is not!!! and every time i see her or facetime her or she sends me an audio message i hear the crackle in her throat and i dont know if it will ever go away
and if youre not looking for it youll miss it but if you go in public and sit and listen .youll hear the coughing and sniffling and the crackle in people's throats. i keep my windows open bc my dorm gets too hot and all day i hear people walking by and coughing. my only other covid cautious friend has noticed it. none of my non cc friends have. but i swear to god it's there sit in a library for a few hours and listen it's there it gets worse every year. and nobody even notices and people look at you weird when you mention that everyone's been getting sicker recently
but they are they fucking are ive read the studies ive looked at the data. everyone's sick all the time and they dont even notice it they go "it's the freshman flu" "it's allergies" you arent even a freshman you dont even have allergies. "man ive just been so short of breath recently" then i'm the crazy one if i say the obvious reason for that. i feel fucking crazy i know im not im looking at the studies im looking at the data im learning the science but nobody will listen
i share covid data and protection and everything on instagram all the time im always talking about it because im always thinking about it because i hear it everywhere and nobody listens nobody is masking and i dont understand why i dont understand how - i heard someone cough out my window just now - i don't understand how social pressure can win over the objective truth when the objective truth is killing and disabling people. how do people not care??? i need people to care one-way masking is better than nothing but so much could have been prevented if people would just put on the fucking mask
what am i even supposed to do when everyone's just accepted being sick forever when people dont 'even notice how fucked up their bodies are becoming when people seem to think it could never happen to them and they don't seem to care that they can and will pass it to other people even if they never are symptomatic . how are we supposed to live like this??? are we going to reach a breaking point or are people just going to fucking die forever??? what will it take for people to start masking again??? to start caring???
i dont know what infection number my sister is on. three that i know of for sure but i'd be shocked if she hadn't had it at least five times. shes thirteen . i dont know what to do

Let's trust him.
Idea: This is set just after Liam brings theo back and is set in Scott's house when they find out he's back.
Pairings: theo raeken x plus size!reader, Malia tate/hale x reader (siblings. Malia is 2 years older), Scott mccall x reader (platonic), Liam Dumbar x reader (best friends)
Warnings: swearing, mentions of blood and violence.
Be prepared this is a kinda long one.
Cody christain is just majestic.


Me, malia and Scott had just returned to Scott's after receiving a message from Liam asking for us to come back. As I stepped out of my truck and closed the door I heard my sister growl, I didn't understand why, I just shrugged it off and walked over to Scott who was walking up the path to the front door.
We entered the house and I heard hushed whispers from towards the kitchen area, I identified the voices of Liam and hayden aka my best friend and his girlfriend. As I rounded the corner I saw him, theo. My ex boyfriend standing behind my best friend and hayden who was holding the katana.
"What's going on here?" I asked worried as to why he was here. Liam looked sad almost guilty but still confident all at once. Scott stepped towards Liam with a angry glint in his eyes.
(Skip to later. Also im adding more speach cause its been a while since ive watched teen wolf and i cant find it anywhere as i live in the uk)
"Scott I don't trust him" malia said to Scott and I don't blame her, he manipulated us all, made us believe we could trust him, shot malia, made me fall in love with him just so he could get closer to the pack, manipulated Liam into trying to kill Scott then trying and sort of succeeding in killing him. "I know you don't malia, but Liam thinks he may be able to help us, he remembers stiles" Scott said trying to calm down the situation.
"I remember stiles, Lydia remembers stiles, y/n remembers stiles and so do you. We don't need theo, Liam needs to send him back. He tried to kill you scott" malia rambled getting angrier by the second. "What do you think y/n?" Scott asked looking straight at me, I looked over at theo and saw his eyes. He was listening in to the conversation and he looked scared. "Malia has a point he did try to kill you." I pause. "But so did I and malia and Liam and Peter and Kate and Chris and Jackson and yet you gave us another chance and trusted us. I say we give him one more chance, if he does something we don't like or agree with put him back" I respond.
Scott nods and tells Liam "y/n's right, but he's your responsibility. You watch him, got it?" Liam nods and looks over at me "can y/n help? She's theos weakness remember".
(Flashback to before they sent him to his personal hell)
"Y/n your everything to me, I didn't mean to involve you in the plan. I didn't mean to fall in love with you, at first I thought maybe it was easy but then you actually treated me the way I wanted to be treated, with love and care. God I'm crazy about you y/n, if anything happened to you I'd lose my mind. Your the only thing that keeps me calm and anchored" theo said trying to plea for my forgiveness.
"I can't be with you theo, not anymore. Your not the person I thought you was. If you can change then maybe at some point eventually but right now I'm pushing myself to just talk to you, I don't think I can trust you" I turned and left theo standing there looking like a kid who just dropped their ice cream.
"Fine catherine goes with but if he gets to close to her stop him" Scott and malia both say St the same time making me smirk. I have a feeling they will be together soon enough, there's always been something there. I can tell.
(Time skip again)
I'm walking behind hayden and Liam by theo but not next to him as I see Liam and hayden being a cute couple. Hayden says how she trusts liam I nearly make an audible sound of adoration towards the teenage couple as they kiss theo says "oh do you want me to leave you two alone to have some couple time?" He then holds up the chains "Oh wait I can't" he says annoyed. Liam rolls his eyes and me and hayden giggle at the boys. Liam yanks on the chain connected to the handcuffs on theo's wrists.
As I'm walking theo looks at me. "Hey" he whispers knowing that even though the teenage couple infront of us are talking that if he spoke loud enough Liam would hear him. "Hi" I whisper back. "I heard what you said to Scott back at the house, thank you for sticking up for me" he whispers smiling at me, not a smirk like before, a genuine smile. "I didn't do it as a favor for you." Amd just like that the smile is gone.
"I did it for me, so I can kill you once we have finished with you" I smile and him then jog to catch up and walk next to hayden.
(Time skip again. I'm sorry)
"Scott was right, I'm sending you back" Liam said to theo, we had just returned to the little shed thingy and saw a ghost rider dead in the cage with the gate open and theo sitting on the floor. I hadn't looked at theo yet I just know he's sitting on the floor, I finally look over at theo then turn to Liam and whisper to Liam "leave me alone with him, I'll fine out what happened" Liam looks hesitant but I nod and he and everyone else walks out leaving me with theo.
I sit down next to theo sideways facing him. I cross my legs, sigh and put my hands in my lap. "What happened theo?" I ask. Theo looks at me with tears in his eyes and blood on his face, "my sister would pull my heart out, over and over and over and over again. Then suddenly you appeared and she started pulling your heart out then she would make me pull it out, I couldn't. I couldn't hurt you again so I always had to watch you die." He said catching me of guard. "Theo I meant about what happened here. Is-is that what you witnessed in your personal hell?" I ask putting my hand on his knee. He nods then says "it was uh, Mr Douglas. He came in here, killed the ghost rider. Ate something from in his brain that let him use the whip" theo says then he clears his throat and sits up more, still leaning on the wall.
"Mr Douglas, as in the new teacher?" I ask in disbelief. Theo nods again and I nod. "Theo I have to ask, did you try to stop him?" I ask scared of the answer. "Yeah I did he uh, he pushed me against the wall and then faced the ghost rider" theo said and I knew he was telling the truth cause they couldn't lie to me. I nod and pull theo into my chest hugging him catching him by surprise but he quickly wrapped his arms around me and buried his head in my neck.
"I missed you" I confess. "I missed you so much more and I'm so sorry I broke your trust and I promise I will try to prove myself and change, for you. I'll be better for you" theo said looking me in the eyes. I smile and nod then kiss theo quickly before calling Scott and Liam and the others back in.
I stand up as they enter and say "He's telling the truth, he had nothing to do with what happened here. In fact he tried to stop it from happening but he couldn't. Scott can I talk to you outside?" I ramble, Scott nods and we walk out the little shed thingy. "Scott, he's just told me what he went through down there. I think we should at least give him a chance to be better. To prove to be better. He isn't the same as before, believe me. I was his girlfriend and there is a look in his eyes that wasn't there before." I explain.
"What did he go through?" Scott asks, I shake my head "I can't say exactly as its not my place if he wants to tell you he will but I will say that if anything would change him. It would be what he went through. Can we please give him one more chance and just put at least a little bit of trust in him?" I say.
Scott nods and says
"Okay, let's trust him"
A/n: I hope you like this, it took me about an hour to write as I kept getting distracted. Anyway let me know what you think about this and I'm sorry that I couldn't really remember much from the episodes but I tried my best. Anyway, remember you are loved and you are wanted. I love you and I hope you have a nice morning/evening/night. Bye bye.

oh! i just listened to miss lady gaga's new song abracadabra and wondered what does alejandro think of the song, since he(?) likes lady gaga from what i recall :3
HIIII YES I DO MY MOTHER . tldr is i cant believe i live in an era where mother goes back to her old testament era in 2025 in what world am i . if we had the financial means to do that right now you just KNOW i'd be forcing chiichii to get his money and pay for a bus to rio de janeiro so we could attend the free gaga show in may now that i know her new era is extremely reminiscent of her darkpop era and sounds a lot like an artpop + the fame fusion because one of my dreams since before i formed or anythin' was to attend a live the fame or born this way era show and this would be my chance but alas (plus i dont wanna risk gettin our shit stolen considering how the free madonna show last year went sooo)
longer version is that its genuinely such a nice recall to her old testament, yeah, while very much incorporating more of the new gaga vibes with making it sound more melodical in a way that almost sounds haunting with the echoed vocals. i aint the fashion freak in this system so i cant say as much about that as the demon freak or chiichii could but i think the fits are goorgeous and, again, something recallin the old era of gaga with the extravagant feeling while bringing a new form of fancy and classiness to it. i personally am obsessed with the big red spiky hat it looks sooo stupid i love it sm. i know the others in the system have been more obsessed with the big feathery tail fit which i get but i just think mother looks so stunning in red and it fits her pale skin so much (probs why i also looove the other red fit where she holds the cane). musically i aint really a prodigy and none of us are really but as i said it sounds like an artpop the fame fusion and its sooo good fuckkkkkk. the choreography for it is so good and i really hope mama will drop a choreo video at some point so i can practice it myself for the full thing, the stomach stabbing move made chii giggle and kick her legs when we first saw it. also i hope ya can imagine the absolute jumpscare it was to be waiting for mother to appear in the grammys an hour before it and suddenly 20 mins before that she just randomly decides to drop a wholeass new BANGER thats inspired by her older stuff. i feel the part in the clip where it cuts to the dancers and collaborators shouting the lyrics around her as she screams before going back to the song was so chilling and im soooooo excited for this new era of her. i love you mama
