Trying to explain my thoughts on Dan and Herbert be like they're literally the worst thing for each other but they are the only thing for each other that matters like no they sometimes actually hate each other but they can't survive without the other, they will never be able to communicate well with the other but also they are the only people that can ever understand each other, they are the only people who can understand what they've been through who isn't dead or have run away from them and they'll never talk about it, they should be able to have moments of peace and wholesomeness but also they should never have a moments rest from bickering, they think the world of each other and also think the world would be better off if the other was fucking dead, they need each other and they despise themselves for it, they're the couple down the street but they're also that toxic couple you don't invite out, they're totally in love but also can't stand it because it fucking hurts and is an inconvenience, it's all contradictions and complicated and sometimes the most simple thing in the world and I cannot explain it for the life of me but like it's so queer I simply don't know what to tell you.
sometimes i think about how my smut fics arent all that good and its true i never claimed to be good at writing, smut or not, but then i think about the great responsibility on my shoulders of singlehandedly filling up the shiver tag and my spirit is renewed i am determined and confident because by god if i dont do it then who will. i have to do everything in this goddamn house
we kind of look like each other. both exhausted autism creatures.
she let me hold her for a couple minutes and then she started to wiggle a little bit so i loosened my grip. she very calmly wiggled out of my arms and walked away. didn’t run and hide or even hiss.
so i woke up at 1am last night to screaming and smashing noises in the parking lot in front of our building... i look out and see the guy who lives in the apartment across from us, in just his boxers, holding a huge butcher knife, screaming and going around to every. single. fucking. car. and smashing/stabbing it. like just going nuts. it was the first time we've ever actually called the non-emergency line on someone :/ and they told us we were not the first people to report it
like this guy must've damaged at least 30 cars. then he came up to the front door of our building and started smashing the door with the hilt of the knife. i overheard the building super re-telling the story to the building manager this morning, and heard him say "look what he did to the door! that's gonna cost over 2 grand to replace". anyway, i'm thankful we park our car in a different lot behind the building.. but imagine waking up to see some guy stabbing your car at 1am???
Unfortunately my wxs obsession has gotten so bad that i will find time to cram them into my mind no matter where i am. Doesnt matter if im busy. I was supposed to be locked in and paying attention but somehow my mind couldnt stop cooking up fic and analysis ideas for ~45 minutes Which is seriously bad and distracting. Although i don’t believe anything can be done about this right now and my grades are usually top notch anyways so Ill worry about that later
the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO
I just noticed that the cartographer and the curator both have faces on those little pieces of accessories. Does that mean/indicate anything in particular or no
The Cartographer: It's a reference. The Collector had a similar amulet, one with a face.
The Curator: It's a little thing we did to remember them by. None of us ever really speak openly about him being gone. I don't think Charmer or Coordinator would care for the reminders.
Well, my birthday has passed, a huge thank you to @vampthropologist for showing up to fill the canvas which would have othwise without the have been empty ♡
I had fun, they drew on the canvas, featuring their friends' ocs as well. @x-go2sleep-x 's oc Jeffrey and @zen1dol 's oc Mimi.
And Here's my side- done in traditional art-
Some ups
It was nearing 4 am but I attemted to draw @flyingspicerack 's oc Mao and @girlymatsu 's oc Erina from memory- I got really tired by the end here >○<
Wish my friends could have made it but it's probably just not that simple, thanks anyway.
