Screencap redraw of the best man in one piece

The ideal Laios/Kabru for me is extremely slow burn and takes the form specifically of Kabru deeply, deeply longing to be known and understood Laios. He doesn’t even know it’s attraction at first there’s just this ache in his gut to have his flaws seen and accepted. To be messy but safe. He’s too deep into yearning to be smart about it but it’s too quiet and complex to be an overwhelming force it’s just this voice in the back of his head that’s says “I want. I want. I want.”

there's nothing quite as casually heart wrenching and sweet as "my father comes to all of my games. that is enough"

Let's be real. Realistically, every time we see Mikoto it might as well be a different alter.

Does that make for an easy-to-follow narrative? No. Is it what the authors intended? Not likely, but also this is a game all based around perception and life experiences.

"Mikoto" and "John" as we know them are functionally made up by the audience (and thus Es) for narrative flow. Just like how ppl w DID irl are generally assumed to be "themselves," as in their body's name/main identity. Whether you're singlet or plural, the "you" in someone else's mind is a tiny piece even to your closest people. They see you through a special lens all their own, and these interpretations reveal more about the viewer than anything (not that that is a "bad" thing; it just is). Every individual consciousness is a different lens. You really can't know shit about any system unless you ask within the system, even w alters in your own brain. Mikoto hasn't had enough time to process his different parts yet, so it's wholly ambiguous.

Oblivious as we are, we've noticed a bit of friction surrounding how people view Kayanosys and tbh it makes us kinda sad; but the subject matter is touchy, so it's understandable. In my humble opinion, while they give us many clues as to "who's who," it's all still purely hypothetical. And it's fun to guess and theorize and even make shit up! You wouldn't do it to a real system but Milgram is not real; all respectful interpretations of 09 are valid in my book.

Personally I like the idea that he has more alters than just who we see, and I like interpretations of Mikoto/John/Kataboku as their own people. I also like completely ambiguous interpretations, and everything in-between bc if we wanna be Really Realistic, there's no end to the possibilities whatsoever, especially with as little info as we have so far.

This makes writing him So Difficult for me, but it only adds all the more layers to why I love these characters so much. I am so so sick of being a system sometimes, but it's a complex worldview that few experience and even fewer fully grasp. Plurality deserves to be talked about openly and with patience, and I couldn't be happier that Milgram even dares talk about them to such a large audience.

The reasons to talk about these things, after all, won't go away even if we do stop talking about them. I'm not gonna say "it all happens for a reason," but we certainly have words to describe such experiences for many reasons. I feel like we all need to stop being afraid of not fully understanding things. I certainly don't understand a lot, but I understand a small handful of things that many do not. Sharing helps us understand more, even if we miss the mark sometimes.

Idk. I love Mikoto and I love our little mikotoverse on tumblr dot com, that is all.

i'm a rhaenicent girlie through and through but i think the showrunners should stop talking about them being the love of each other's life and referring to them as a couple until they put their money where their mouth is and have alicent and rhaenyra have angry sex on the iron throne in s3. or something. if i'm honest

september prompt: anderperry, 15.

@soobiesworld AAAND WE'RE BACK sorry i was clubbing for serious days . i am so So Tired . hope you like this one !! i'm running on three hours and a tuna sandwich xx

prompt list !!

anderperry - nightlight !!

The late September evening lingers in the cracks of their room, chilling Todd through his jumper and casting a deep blue over their beds and desks, the words hastily scrawled onto scrap paper lost to the night. When the words in front of his eyes become almost incomprehensible - as he'd been so deep in his own world that he hadn't realised the turning to dusk - Todd got up and tried the light.

He flicks the switch once. Nothing.

He groans. Neil looks up from where he was reading over his lines, and frowns. "Light not working again?"

"Nope." Todd flops back down, words muffled against the pillow beneath him. "Nolan never fixes anything around here."

Neil laughs, pulling out a candle from one of his bedroom drawers. "Here. I stole some of these from my parents' house when I went back over the summer. Thought we might need them when autumn came around."

He then pulls out a box of matches - usually reserved for cigarettes - and lights it, the warm glow igniting about five different candles that they haphazardly place around the room, careful not to tip them over.

They get back to their work, but Todd can't stop looking.

Neil looks almost angelic in the soft, orange glow of the candlelight, a contrast to their harsh light which usually adorns the room. Not that he doesn't look good there either, but this light is more... intimate. His brown eyes are deeper than usual, the softness of his face more accentuated.

Neil looks over, and catches Todd looking. He smiles at him softly. "You okay?"

Todd then gets up, abandoning his poetry, and walks over to Neil, straddles him, takes his face in his hands, and kisses him.

Neil makes a small sound against it, surprise turning to contentment as their lips slot together, and Todd feels his body relax as they fall into each other, bathed in the warm candlelight. He hears Neil place aside the script, and bring his hands around Todd's waist, drawing him in closer.

Dazed from the kiss, Neil pulls away breathless and blinking lazily. "Good evening to you, too."

Todd giggles, kissing his cheek. "Shut up."

"Any reason for that?"

"What? Am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?" Todd mocks, and Neil laughs softly, that laugh that makes Todd's insides flutter.

"No, no, you are. Just..." He shrugs.

"The candlelight makes you look so... soft."

Neil blinks, and then draws Todd back in for another kiss, one so soft Todd feels he might faint.

When they break apart, Neil whispers against his lips, "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile."

Todd cocks an eyebrow, "Which play is that from?"

"Love's labour's lost." He kisses him again, quick.

"How romantic." Todd says, and Neil laughs.

"I kinda hope the light won't come back on. This is... nicer. More intimate."

Todd smiles, leaning back in again, "You spoke my mind."

i've been thinking about a timeline like this a lot lately

[deadwooddross]

picking through my comms and i keep unintentionally grouping them up into similar flavors...first we had: mostly blue. Now we're onto: mostly noodles I think when I open again I may favor....hmmmmm.....more reddish fleshy tones...body horror-y types...and maybe some more "regular" flavored humanoids....as a treat, and also to switch it up

in case anyone has some blorbos in mind
