#i need to build a time machine

Okay so I know this is the worst possible cliffhanger, but I just wanna take a moment to say at least Asa (since Yoru is technically her own entity) remains the one interest who hasn't actively tried to kill Denji. Maybe Asa's intentions weren't always headed in the right direction, but I don't think she would have ever attempted it. With that out of the way Yoru sweetie darling what the FVCK

Wriothesley as an extension of the Fortress itself

a living, breathing part of its organism, his heart beating in tandem with its machinery. that deep hum that's always present in his mind and lulls him to sleep at night is Meropide's ancient power coursing through his veins and he doesn't even know it, let alone understand it

he was a blank slate when he arrived, a non-person by his own choice, and so the Fortress claimed him as her own

sometimes he seems to know exactly what is happening five floors below, and inmates joke that it's some sort of magic, but they know that the Duke is simply well-informed and uses the in-built security system to keep on top of things... surely that's all there is to it

a young Wriothesley was once pursued by a handful of other inmates who wanted to kill him for a perceived slight. he ducked into the shadowed hallways of the lower levels, took turn after turn, and eventually made his way to a safe room where he could hide for the night. the next day, he learned that the other inmates never made it to their morning shifts

his footing is always sure on the walkways, he never loses his way, and he can always tell when there's something up with the machinery at first glance

sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night with the taste of copper in his mouth, and he mistakes it for a memory of blood... but every time, he gets up and he finds that something has happened that requires his attention - usually the violent kind

he doesn't think there's anything special to it all, but Sigewinne sees. Sigewinne knows. she'll cross that bridge in a few decades, when Wriothesley realizes that he's stopped aging

I think too much about being kidnapped and taken to a sort of breeding facility, being placed into a machine that hold me in an all fours position, it preps my holes with lub and a pre stretch if needed and moves my body to be the perfect height for whoever is coming to fuck me so they can do so hard and fill me deep with ease, re-adjusting each time a new person enters the stall, I can't see any of the people that come in only hear the sounds they make as they thrust, all I'm good for is my holes and though I was scared at first when they brought me here I'm starting to crave the feeling of the machine pulling me into position as I anticipate who will be filling me next and I'm dripping so much the machine stopped adding lube

John Calvin’s Writings and Asexuality?

The context here is that I don’t know all that much about John Calvin specifically, and I’m also trying to be a good history student and not project onto the past (and these have been translated into English, so something might have gotten lost)….but reading about Calvin’s concept of ‘continence’ is really making me think about asexuality & it’s not like there’s very much older ace history out there - I’ll take what I can get. So here’s some sections from his ‘Institutes of the Christian Religion’ (published in Latin in 1536).

What Is Continence?

According to the OED (a wonderful source if you’re looking for meanings of old English words and in what periods those definitions applied):

Now, this is the part where the fact it’s translated feels particularly important, since the use of ‘continence’ by the translators may very well just be the closest word an English speaker might understand. So it’s probably going to be more useful to look at how Calvin talks about it.

Characteristics of 'Continence' described by Calvin:

It’s easy for people with this ‘gift’ to avoid sex in a way it isn’t for everyone else

2. It’s limited to a few people

3. It isn’t just a choice not to have sex, it’s an absence of desire

4. It can come & go for some people, for some it is permanent (this is part of his reasoning for why permanent vows of celibacy are a bad idea)

So...yeah? It somehow doesn't feel like Calvin would be all that surprised by the concept of asexuality. Although, for him, ‘continence’ is all framed as a gift from God enabling someone to be more committed to worship. So I suppose according to Calvin I’m wasting a special gift from God? Oopsie.

hc + time

send me  ‘ hc ‘  + a word and i’ll write a headcanon about it regarding my character.

Time heals all wounds is a well-known saying but Martha disagrees. In fact, she hates this saying with a vengeance and how can she not, having lost her entire world on what should have been a happy night with her beloved family? Years have passed since that fateful night in Crime Alley but her grief did not lessen nor become easier to handle. Her grief festered like an open wound, the shock of having lost their only child causing an irreparable rift between husband and wife. In the months that passed after Bruce's demise, Martha became more and more lost in her grief. Thomas focused on hunting down the murderer of their son while Martha descended to a slow madness and while their relationship had been loving, the loss of their son split them deeper than their inevitable divorce. Neither parent gained the support they needed in those crucial days and by the time Thomas had found Joe Chill, it was far too late to save the last vestiges of Martha's sanity. It's been years since the Waynes split but longer than that was the sound of a single gunshot ringing in that dingy alleyway, of Bruce's last breath as he clutched his mother's hand with cold fingers. It was in that moment that time ceased to exist for Martha, unable to move on since.

I personally enjoy fight club because it’s very interesting to watch the physical and mental self destruction of person trying to find a purpose in life when they don’t desire the typical traditional american ideal life. To see the descent into delusion.

Forcing myself to work on the headcrab mask & rediscovering how fun mini fuck-around-and-find-out mock-ups are to make. The model is a little crunchy but it was a good functioning proof of concept & much needed confidence-boost all in one!
