stay gold is for darry too (except this is what i meant to say the first time b4 i got distracted)

“when you’re young and the world is new / it’s easy to forget when you’re trying just to make it through”

darry is 20 years old and for the first time he’s having to learn about bills and when to pay them and how to pay them, he’s having to learn about debt works and how long he can take to pay them back. he’s having to learn how to budget because suddenly he can’t take whatever change he has left at the end of the day to take his brothers to the rodeo or the bookstore, instead that change has to go to something more sustainable.

and darry has a one track mind. to him, since he has to play guardian, since he has to play parent, he’s not allowed to have fun anymore. he has to work day in and day out to keep his brother yes, but he’s also working so his brothers don’t have to work this hard. he’s working this hard in hopes that one day, hopefully in a year or so, they’ll have enough saved up so he can stop playing parent. he’s hoping they’ll have enough saved up so this child can stop walking in his dad’s enormous shoes and can finally be a kid again.

he’s opening at the end of this he can finally just be a friend and a brother again. the thing is though darry forgets. he forgets about the now. he forgets how sensitive his brothers are; soda makes a point for darry to know he can lean on him if he needs to, but sometimes darry gets a little to comfortable and forgets to remind soda the same. darry and pony used to be a whole lot closer before their parents died. but after darry forgets how sensitive he is; pony likes playing big and bold (like every 14 year old) so he’s forgets that pony really is just a baby. he forgets that pony lost his parents too at a really young age and needs a bit more comfort; darry forgets to offer that comfort.

darry never neglects his brothers, god no he doesn’t. in his mind, he eats dinner… most nights with them, he’s usually not back til late, eating dinner with the dim light above the stove. he sees them to bed though! he makes sure they’re all ready for bed and can find him if they need him, though pony has taken to finding soda instead which… is new.

I be suffering that Vampire Hunter D brainrot. You know it’s bad whatever fandom you are in or whatever you are doing, you can’t help but to place D in there

*Casually playing Stellar Blade

My brain: Imagine D roaming the Wasteland and runs into EVE and she does quests for D. If you build that infinity with him you can chose to fight him at the end and he’s like the most insanely hardest boss to fight

*Casually draws Zero from Drakengard 3

My brain: D x Zero, now make them make out and have like 6 kids

*Casually working on an original story

My brain: Now add D in there

*Casually listening to music

My brain: That song fits an epic scene with D, now draw him

HE’S EVERYWHERE!!!

You know what's insane about the Hunger AU. the fact that Grian is trying to die because he does not want to inflict pain upon his friends, but that's exactly the thing that's tormenting them. he's become so determined to stop himself that he's hurting them anyway, and it only gets worse the harder he tries. he doesn't want to be cruel but leading the Hermits on like this about the potions is cruel. he doesn't want to hurt them but seeing him half dead is hurting them. i am shaking like a dog

hunger au really is all about how suicidal ideation and mental illness can just twist your entire perspective into a knot.... like the objective reality is that he IS hurting his friends with this and he IS going to hurt them 10x more when it comes to the potions!!! but grian is so caught up in his own head and his hurt and his guilt that he cant see that or accept the cognitive dissonance that comes with acknowledging it. Its a genuinely tragic set of circumstances and being able to showcase the rapid spiral down followed by the slow crawl back up through recovery is so so so rewarding for me as a writer-- not least bc of reactions like these >:]

The only way I can think about Eddie's storyline without having a panic attack is if I think of his whole storyline in parts instead of a whole collective arc.

As in:

Part 1 is the Shannon aspect.

Part 2 is the catholic guilt/religious trauma aspect.

Part 3 is the queer awakening itself.

[suusoh]

love post-rurenheim blaming his attraction and sexual awakening on you. like you just HAD to cross paths with him in this life huh? you just HAD to be friends with him and be his only sole friend and therefore his only possible romantic interest. you just HAD to awaken his hormones and solidify his interest/obession with you.

So a while back I made a post that speculated that to someone (specifically Hakuba in the post, but I do feel that it could apply to regular people as well) unfamiliar with the Detective Boys they may assume that they're all like Conan, and that if they also saw Haibara in her element they might come to the conclusion that each of the kids is a specialist of some kind.

At the time I didn't really think much further on it about what each kid would specialize in, but I've found myself thinking about it again.

As a detective team, they don't have to all have similar knowledge sets, and in fact will actually benefit from having different perspectives that can be brought to the table.

That said... this isn't so much me trying to say they're currently like this, but thinking about what I would want to see as a dynamic if they continued to be interested in being detectives years down the line. (Also just acting with the assuption that Conan and Haibara stay part of the team. So something like an OVA 9 AU, not something I expect to really happen.)

Conan is the team's generalist. He's skilled, but he spreads his knowledge base out so he can maximize his understanding of everything. If anything, his speacilties are flexible thinking and understanding the interactions between people and objects. He's a skill monkey and the defacto leader handling all coordination and planning.

Haibara is of course the medical specialist. If something has to do with medicine or chemistry she's going to know more than anyone else. First aid and forensics are her job. Conan can check the cause and time of death, but its more accurate when she does it.

Also it's definitely secondary, but she also has a pretty solid knowledge of fashion and brand name items.

Now for the more speculative ones:

Mitsuhiko is the outdoorsman. Specializing in orienteering, insects, disaster and outdoor survival. If that seems like its coming out of left feild we've already had a few where Mitsuhiko shows some wilderness experience: Mushrooms Bears and the Detective Boys, Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest just to names some early examples but there are plenty of others. And while a fair bit of it is stuff directly stated to have been learned from Conan, he still often ends up being the one taking the lead in survival situations when the children don't have Conan or Haibara around. So I think that could be a fun direction for him to develop into.

As for Genta... I'm sure he has plenty of potential in different directions, but just looking at the current Genta the only specialization that I think he would willingly go into is food. Which isn't super useful, but in certain circumstances it could be really helpful. The case is hinging on the alibi of a head chef that claims he was in the kitchen preparing the main dish for the last 2 hours- Genta can tell by smell and colour that that soup is canned soup from his favorite brand. A case where someone had an allergic reaction in a restaurant Genta can tell that the 'red snapper' is actually Tilapia that's been dyed.

Also could potentially be good for him to get into wrestling or something that would let him put his bulk to use to be the teams defender when they inevitably fall under threat.

Though in an ideal world I would prefer that defender role go to Ayumi- she has plenty of strong women in her life that could encourage her to take up a martial art for self defense. I think it would be nice for her to learn from them and go being a precious protected princess to the cheerful knight that keeps the team safe.

More realistically Ayumi's specialization would probably be something on the more traditionally feminine end of things, but this post is also just for me to have fun.

And I think another direction that would be fun for her to take would be if she could ends up specializing in spirituality and myths. Leaning back into all those times that the Detective Boys have gone to investigate supposedly haunted locations. Knowing all the local legends so when they run into supernatural cases she could be the one to point out that something doesn't match up with the stories. She could learn from Kazuha how to make protective charms, or on the more extreme end she could encounter Akako and learn fortune telling or basic magics.

I just think that would be fun.

misophonia + sensory issues are torture. i'm so tired of all of this.

who lacks sleep more today- me or remus lupin

GPTim having both visual and hearing disabilities is so important to me. That man’s eyes were *burned out* when he *exploded the moon* his hearing is gonna be affected also; and having functional accessibility aids (his mechanical eyes, here) does not equal not disabled, it just means that the disability manifests differently.

[consensus-fiction]

actually loved this chapter. felt it could’ve been a bit more drawn out pacing-wise but i wouldn’t change shit wrt how things wrapped up

[rustedgate]

kinda sucks having good days and bad days cause you can never plan anything. I think about getting into sport or dance and all I can think is "I can't guarantee I'll be able to that day". I hate making plans and suddenly being forced to drop them cause I'm not feeling well. Sucks for me, sucks for everyone else I had to ditch on. And then Ill be stuck at home a couple days later. Feeling fine. No plans. Nowhere to go. Angry I couldn't feel that way earlier. makes me feel fake. like I'm lying. and I hate it

I'm in DEER-e need of assistance

Oh my deer!
