Hey plant man, I like your plant posts. Should give us a lil plant post to rotate in our brains if you have some time. Take this as permission to sling spaghetti at the wall for whatever Plant Stuff has been in ur head
(I also feel like i should tell you that I cannot for the life of me remember when I started following this blog but going through your lichen posts had me telling all my direct family members how much lichen now baffles me, so thank u for reminding me that Science Does Not Know All)
for years i've strongly envisioned a plant museum exhibit i would make if i ever became the guy who got to do that. imagine the biggest wall in the exhibit dedicated to showing how lepidodentrons became modern plants (and it would be utilized for that instead of some crowd pleaser dinosaur because of isoetes favoritism for me only, i would insist the space be used like that instead of something more cohesive. I would take the public and say LOOK AT IT). it starts at the left side with a life-sized lepidodendron silhouette and shows species getting smaller and smaller along the wall until the far right, where there's an aquairium with isoetes collected from the closest healthy isoetes population, preferably in the same area so people can be like 'whoa so close to us'.
version two of this exhibit would be to just have a tank of local isoetes beside a life-sized lepidodendron silhouette or replica so you could compare the sizes more directly. version three of this exhibit would be to put a tank of isoetes at that place in scotland that has the grove of fossilized lepidodendron stumps still upright in place from when their grove got flooded for the last time.
any of these would have merch in the gift shop too by the way.

Welcome to the little space I created for you singles to see what's coming next in love! I hope this finds you before valentines day and always be open to the possibilities that the world has. I am an energy reader and will use the energy you are giving off now to see what you are attracting into your future. Prediction readings are not a guarantee especially with energy shifts so be open and to see what comes up. Enjoy the reading? I have a small shop on Ko-fi that you can order another reading from to support me. Check pinned post for all about me as a reader!
Ko-Fi I Shmfeedback I Pinned Post
This reading is for 17 year olds and older! Minors DO NOT INTERACT or assume this is an accurate reading for you!
Thank you for your support! I send luck in love your way <3
Theme Song: Die with a Smile by Lady gaga featuring Bruno mars
First Rose: Strength, Nine of Cups (rx), The Moon (rx), Five of Swords
Clarifying Cards: Queen of wands, nine of coins (rx)
For you my first rose I do see someone coming into your life but they might not be who you imagine. I see you hold onto a lot of past judgments from your previous relationships (familial or even romantic) these judgements towards yourself are projected onto others unintentionally. I see you using this defense mechanism for helpful moments but what you desire and what you truly want isn't fully aligned. I see your expectations are high and you may wonder why this person you have been manifesting isn't here. It may be because you aren't seeing the full picture or maybe you do and see to much of peoples flaws to let them in feeling like they are just not a right fit but you really don't know; many people are good at hiding there own true selves like how others are good at hiding there not so favorable traits.
There is a difference with having high expectations to choose the right person and those high expectations being used as a way of defense instead of being helpful. I'm NOT saying to lower your expectations or standards but there is this idea you continue to hold that hinders you from finding anyone that could fit your "list". Maybe there is a job or a certain requirement this partner should have to be before you accept them and everyone who may not meet those exact lines is out of your mind. I do not think this is shallow at all, I think your just doing it to not get hurt by someone that you previously have had to abide and cater to and you want to make this relationship more worth it. I see you have been patient and strong for yourself trying to choose the right one when the right one could be anyone; you do have to let go and trust when it comes to loving someone which is something I have to learn to. Trusting yourself that you will do everything in your power to leave if you choose the wrong one. Love isn't easy but it can be simpler with the right outlook. Your dream person will come along and maybe they will surprise you but pushing others away will only push that person away as well. I am also getting the message specifically for some of you that you are learning to trust yourself and that is beautiful yet you still hold onto judgments that make you feel like your can't trust yourself. Its funny how we can pick out insecurities of others because we are insecure of those flaws in ourselves.
I've said this on my blog many times "you are worthy of all good things happening even if you did nothing to 'earn' it." Take care of yourself and do physical things to build your confidence like getting a facial, exercise, start a new hobby; build yourself up and this person will pop into your life without you realizing it. Trust me, my sister found one of her soulmates when she was done with searching for a partner (after many many years of yearning for a true lover) and I am so happy for her.
Second Rose: Temperance (rx), The Fool (rx) Judgment (rx)
Clarifying Cards: Page of swords (rx), Four of wands
For you my second rose I see no one in particular coming into your love life for multiple reasons; I'm sorry to the singles who were really hoping for something soon but do not worry love can still come this is about the future after all. The future I say is always fluid which is why you can't really pinpoint certain things, just big themes and from there its up to us readers to interpret what is going on. For you my second lovely pile I see a reluctance. For some of you you have broken up with someone recently or have seen a relationship end very ugly so in your mind you have this understanding that you won't let any of that happen to you which leads me to this block that I feel in this spread. You're kinda like the first rose, you may need to reevaluate why you desire for a person; Is your life upside down and you desire peace? Has every relationship you have jumped into always surface level amazing and it ends up in a break up? The four of wands card is usually a marriage card but it can be seen as a setting of stability and finding a place of peace which may be what you truly seek at this time. I would like to say quickly that any reason is valid to desire deep love and to know you desiring a person has nothing to do with this block, it is just the approach to love that seems to hold you back and is a cycle that keeps repeating. The judgement reversed could also talk about you having a lot of self doubt and have someone on your mind but you have fear holding you still. If you have a person on your mind know that your fear is valid yet it shouldn't dictate your happiness and you won't keep sitting there asking "what if?"
Maybe your confidence is weak compared to your desire so when there may be a chance you may shy away. It's always about confidence and knowing your worth when it comes to attracting a person who will see you for you and if your ashamed of yourself? it will only hurt you and them especially if they like the you that you may judge harshly. I see many of you my second rose is that you are way better at connecting in person then online, that the internet may feel like the only way because of low self worth or confidence when you need more physical connection and communication. There is also a pressure on yourself for some of you, like you are running out of time; your soulmates and soul family are out there always so do not doubt the untouched potential within you and outside of you. This new beginning in love holds a lot of defensive energy like the first pile but I also hear, 'They wouldn't want me...who would see me as desirable?' but you are! we all are desirable to people and you would be shocked at how many people admire you. I also need to add that for some (maybe even all of you) have been working on this and I know its hard, just keep discovering and pushing. This is pretty general reading but I've seen horrible people find love so why can't you? (I'm referring to some of my family members who are married lmao) so reevaluate what love is to you and follow that love to find someone who aligns with that type of love. Don't deny your worth, you are lovable, you are worthy and you will find the courage to find the one.
Third Rose: Knight of Wands (rx), The Tower (rx), Page of Coins
Clarifying Cards: Ace of Coins, Two of Wands (rx), Nine of cups (rx)
For you my third rose I do see someone coming in and they are quite a lovely and rambunctious individual. I see you will love how they look and enjoy the fun side of them but I also see you learning a lot from this relationship. I sense a lot of stress going on and this person will lift a lot of it and give you perspective on love that you never would have witnessed before. I think you will not stay with this person (take that with a grain of salt because I hate saying that when things can change) but I see you discovering a lot about yourself and how stable you want your love and relationships to be. I see this person giving you a taste of this stable love and I see you enjoying your time together.
Ok, now to focus on the big message of this pile; You will be growing into your own, really getting to know yourself when it comes to this person being in your life and developing a dynamic with them. For some of you this person will show you things you may not want in love and may be a little to chaotic for your tastes even though I see this person also bringing fun so its a mixed bag. You may be in that energy too, going wild and living life but I think this relationship will bring you much love and happiness. Whenever I see the page of coins I think of my sister taking a leap and learning about what works for her and what doesn't in life that relates to routine money and stability (even in relationships). The earth element to me speaks about comforts and this person will bring a new comfort that you will enjoy so really live in the moment with this person ok? Always be open to what the possibilities are and if this person is a long time partner always be open to learning and communicating even if your feelings feel 'ridiculous', they are valid and should be spoken to the person that you are putting your heart and trust into. I do sense a big emphasis on communication which is interesting when I don't see swords in the spread but communicating is key in this new relationship coming your way (as it should be in every relationship). Trust in yourself and just be honest, if they aren't open to that then you know what is best for you.

why type this shit up if you knew it was stupid in the first place? this woman is not a famous individual. she does not have the thick skin of larger streamers, but she also reacted pretty reasonably for herself and did not "give the troll satisfaction", but telling women to neuter their own emotional responses each and every time is ridiculous though. "Its just words on a screen" it is still sexual harassment. The largest female streamers literally deal with bait blogs taking their stream clips and pairing them with suggestive and trauma-banking titles to try and max engagement out of sexually harassing them (exp: valkyrae). women can not just sit silently and let this have zero emotional impact on them, if you routinely "ignore it", it actually doesn't stop either and your body will keep the score! Btw!
there is no obvious stopping of trolls, but that doesn't mean women cannot still be emotionally harmed by these things even if they try to put on a show of nonchalance. they may get used to it as the larger streamers must, but don't act like a world where this happens is inevitable either. i wrote this post bc im a frequent viewer of her streams and have been for almost two years. i could read her energy very well for how it affected her, maybe new viewers played along w the "nonchalant" attitude, but to me it felt discomforting and emotionally unsettling to watch her have to perform nonchalance at all. why should women not be allowed to get upset at all, ever? for these hypothetical trolls that may pop in? tell me, if these trolls are everywhere and endless, then what fucking matter does it make playing it cool or not. if its literally inevitable, why does the female streamer and/or internet user have to pretend its not revolting and disgusting behavior they see and are responding to? what lessons does that also teach the female viewers watching? i felt uncomfortable watching her play it off, women are always told to ignore sexual harassment and abuse by men. that we need to have thick skin, to not bring more attention to ourselves, to be quiet. that feels wrong, that feels bad, and if every damn side of the screen hates it, i do not support the idea that every women who wishes to publicaly build a community or voice online has to constantly keep her mouth shut and keep smiling just to make a man hypothetically less satisifed. hes already satisfied, he typed out exactly what he wanted and got insta banned as he knew he would. he would likely have been just as satisfied by her being upset as she was trying to play cool, bc her reactions are secondary to the power they feel already by being able to openly say such perverted shit outright in her space and taint it. her just kinda glossing by it is still a bad end to her night, and he knows that. everyone knows it. don't play dumb that not everyone knows any form of sexual harassment online still doesn't hurt behind a mask. we all know it does. every damn person, including the troll, the viewer, the streamer. again, larger streamers can brush them off easier in a sea of a larger chat waving by, but im sure they note it, they internalize what they feel, and they still fucking feel it when the cameras turn off.
ugh i hate how much men love sexually harassing women online. my fav streamer was about to end stream and raid her mod when some absolute asshole wrote in her chat "can you please look at the camera im almost finished" (paraphrased). she had been in a fantastic mood before that and so had the chat and she immediately got disgusted and the vibe changed instantly i felt so horrible for her. shes not a huge streamer, there were like 60 some people in there on average, and some fucking disgusting ass man had to ruin her joy by sexually harassing her right before she left for the night. just disgusts me.
#like if all the problems could be solved w 'women should just grin and bear it' im sure men would be very happy indeed#i don't actually think the internet as a whole should be so hostile and violent towards women! I think men should feel bad about how they#act behind a screen and the culture of male internet behavior should be uprooted

Cia's Wonderful Day Out, part 4
Part 1, Part 2 , Part 3 (Also, if you liked this, you can check out Convenience Store Vampire, featuring some familiar faces!)
“Ya heard me. There ain't any in this city. Prolly not any in this country. Last I checked, there were maybe ten of us left.” She picked up Ciaran's drink from his limp hand and drained it. “Though, that was a hundred years ‘go, so it might well be less than ‘at.”
“That's- that's insane,” Ciaran stuttered. “How can a species just die out like that? I mean, I know you guys are rare and all, but-”
She shrugged. “Long story. Most o' us are infertile, as you should well know. I don't think there are any more breedin' pairs left.” Her tone was light, but… Ciaran didn't want to think about the grimness of that fate. Small mercy that vampires didn't need to reproduce to grow in numbers.
“Anyways! If it really is a ‘shifter, I'd kill to meet ‘em. Ya won't believe how long it's been since I last caught up with one of our kind.” She frowned. “I've got connections in this city. Wan' me to have a go at hunting your little twin?”
He thought about it. “You know what? It couldn't hurt,” he said, knowing full well that it could. “I'll be done with work at 6 tomorrow. Hit me up then.”
“If you do not mind waiting until 7, I will attend too,” Dave said. “I think it would be rather fun, don't you agree?”
“Say, Anise, wanna tag along?” Hash shot them her signature grin.
What was this, a party? Ciaran opened his mouth to protest, only to be silenced by Anise.
“No thank you, Hash. I have work to attend.” They wiped a shot glass and smiled. “Do tell me how it went, though. I love hearing your stories.”
“Of course, of course! How could I not keep ya updated? You're the one person I spill the most gossip to.”
Desperate to stop her from digressing, Ciaran butted in. “So- we meet here at 7?”
“Of course. Just like old times, eh?”
He did not dignify that with a response.

Okay, so I had this idea for a while (and many others that I forgot, curse my memory)
I guess this is more or less in the poly side of your blog
So... I was thinking about reader who is liked by all the sisters, how would they react and things like that
I actually have no idea about something specific, the whole idea in my head was "Reader who's liked by all the sisters"
-💜
What an interesting ask! ;) this has been in my inbox far too long; I blame work and video games XD
I've actually done a rather similar request once :) you can find it here
Let's get into it!
Masterlists
Being liked by all three of them certainly is...challenging
While one might think "the more the merrier" or "love can be shared" or anything along those lines, Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela quickly prove such ideals wrong
Of course, they're all very loving
Alas, this love comes with incredible possessiveness and jealousy
Cassandra and Daniela make a move on you first, being far bolder than their older sister
Only is it a little unfortunate when they decide to make their move at the same time...
You suddenly find yourself in the middle of their bickering, then
Daniela to your left, Cassandra to your right, both standing tall, all up in one another's faces, their lips pulled to snarls as they try to come up with more and more insults for one another, or simply some threats you doubt are all that serious
For example, Cassandra repeatedly threathens to cut off multiple sleeves and parts of her sister's favourite gowns should she not back off
In return, Daniela is quick to assure she'd tell on her, already going so far as to open up her mouth wide and smile, as if about to call out for their mother
And when her older sister tackles her onto the ground and they blur into a buzzing, angry, jealous, possessive burst of flies, they hardly still pay any mind to it
And while Bela is far not as bold as the two as it comes to immediately persuing her crush, she does take advantage of the situation
Far too busy bickering, the two younger sisters barely notice it when the blonde snatches you away
She's sure, they will tire themselves out eventually, and if she's lucky, Mother might even forbid them from pursuing you if she finds out what embarassing display they put on in front of you
She can only hope, really
Bela shares everything with her sisters, really
Her room, often enough, no matter how often she complains about the other two simply swaming in whenever they feel like it
Her prey. While she does get the first bite more often than not, she knows, she is to share it with her sisters always
Her weapons and accessories! Not a single time is she gifted something that is not immediately inspected by the curious brunette and redhead
And as much as she loves and cares for them, she will not share you with them
She figures it's just a phase for them, anyway. That no one could treat you as well as she can
And when she notices her sisters still show interest in you, she quite passive aggresively attempts to get them away from you by pointing out what messes they cause to impress you to their mother, over, and over, and over again
Daniela, much like her older sister, attempts to manipulate Alcina into scolding her sisters and getting them to back off,
whereas Cassandra only shamelessly flirts with you and insists in being overly close to you to ensure her scent is all over you- something the other two frown at every single time they go in for as much as a hug
But, in time, they do become better at sharing
It's really more of a matter of accepting it, really
They're all incredibly stubborn and have set their eyes on you, after all. Getting rid of them is hardly a possibility so long as you want to keep them around
Bela is by far the sweetest to you as it comes to spending quality time together
She makes sure the two of you get to do things you enjoy doing and takes honest interest in your life
She's the most cooperative when you bring up wanting to keep her sisters around, too, and wanting to see them still, but is also the one to trigger a fight with them the easiest when they try snatching you when it's "her turn" with you
Both seem to take immense pleasure in doing so, mainly because having Bela so annoyed at them for this distracts her from noticing all the other troubles and messes they have caused within the castle- briefly, at least
And
Daniela is the most loving to you, showering you in praise and physical affection, in kisses and hugs, cuddles and intimacy
She loves to feel you and insists to be close to you whenever possible
When it's time for you to spend time with her sisters, it can be hard on her, and she will often attempt to keep you with her by pulling large, watery eyes on you
Those, thankfully, are a lot less effective when both her sisters are yelling at her to stop "taking you from them"
She's having a hard time sharing you with them, and an even harder time understanding why you want them around in the first place
Sure, she understands the concept of multiple lovers, but isn't quite happy that you chose her sisters of all people, someone she can't just kill whenever they make you unhappy
And still, given time, she comes around and even learns to give you the proper space you need when you're spending time with Bela and Cassandra
Speaking of the sadist, she's by far the most passionate
With her, you feel free
She's energetic, but differently so from her sisters
She loves to hunt with you, or to simply run about in the forest with you and scare whoever you come across
She's loud, unfiltered, happy, moody at times
She's alive, in her own way, and you love it
And while she isn't big on displays of affection, the few times she does allow it are precious to you
She, much like her younger sister, has a hard time letting you go to spend time with her sisters
She isn't so much against the idea of you being with them, too, so long as you keep the details to yourself
And still, Cassandra loves to try and keep you with her, hoping to convince you by whispering about all the fun you could have with her, instead
And while all works itself out in due time, there is always one big thing causing bickering between the three women:
Celebrations
Often enough, you get to spend the day with all of them, holding one's hand and allowing the other to rest across your lap while playing with the other's hair
It's beautiful, relaxing, exciting all at the same time
The real trouble comes the later it gets, when they demand kisses- and more- each for their own
Usually Daniela is the first to ask, whining always when she's refused
And often Cassandra steals a kiss anyway, laughing and smirking, triumphant, knowing her sisters won't attempt to steal a kiss from your lips until you brush them again properly
As such, there's often bickering, until you eventually come up with a single solution:
Splitting everything in threes
Three times of celebrating your birthday, one with each
Celebrating New Year's with each
And while it still has them groan and whine occaionally, it's a somewhat fine solution to them, too
All in all you're beyond happy
You get a piece of each of them, get to hold them all, to kiss them all, to get to know every one of them
You like them all, and get to show them every single day

Omg I can't believe someone tagged me in one of these things??? But I love it, thanks to @sad-grandfather-clock , I absolutely love your blog name.
Last song: Ghost Town by The Specials. Yep, I started listening to Ska bc of Charles Rowland. I've always been rather secretive w the music I like bc my mom has a pretty limited music taste, so you can imagine my surprise when this started playing and my grandma said out loud how much she loved the song. She heard it on the radio on one of those programs that play music according the decade. She really is one of those "I like everything" people, I love her.
Favorite colour: more than colour, I have a specific shade I like of every single colour, but, gray ofc, and the greyish turquoise of George Rexstrew's eyes (like my blog colours). And military green, brown, dark red, magenta, and lavender.
Last book: can't remember, it's been ages (a week) since I read... But probably the poetry anthology by Becquer I gifted myself for Xmas. And if we count comics online, the Sandman and The Glass Scientists.
Last movie: Descendants 4 bc I felt nostalgic and haven't seen it yet and... It's... Different. It is the same descendants as the other movies, but it doesn't feel quite right, I would have changed a few things, like the outfits and the songs distribution along the movie but OMG MONTY IS CAPTAIN HOOK THAT BOY IS SUCH A TWINK LIVE LAUGH LOVE JOSHUA COLLEY.
Last tv show: Like I wasn't screaming it, Doctor Who xd. I'm binge watching the new series and when I finish I'm starting with classic Who. And House MD bc I'm watching it with my grandma. But I love all the ppl who said Cunk on Earth or The Good Place, they're really good, y'all should watch them.
Sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet ofc, I have the worst sweet tooth ever, but for bakery stuff rather than sweets, and bittersweet/acid-sweet.
Last thing I searched online: "Bingle Bongle Dingle Dangle" ...well, that's before the last one, which is "findhorn case 31.08.18 film where to watch" (a short movie with George Rexstrew I haven't seen yet, if someone knows where I can watch it thank you very much).
Current obsession: Dead Boy Detectives, David Tennant as usual, punk and ballet. Like, really, my YT feed is full of ballet stuff and my Pinterest is full of cool outfits w tons of safety pins and buttons and patches, I'm want to do a battle jacket but I don't have a jacket yet, lol, I had a jean vest but I gave it to my bf bc he looked like a JoJo's character wearing it. In my opinion it was a pretty good gift.
Looking forward to: get a job, buy a jacket and, yk, take care of myself. In two months is my 18 bday and I'm still don't have the appropriate mindset, sooooo, yep. I just started journaling, see if I can keep a routine w ballet, writing and piano, workout a little. But who knows.
Ten people I'd like to know better: I don't know if I'll get to 10, if they'll do it or how much do they want to share, most of them aren't even mutuals but artists I like, but, yk, just ppl I think are nice and I'm curious about: @majorlb @alterego77 @edwinspaynes @idliketobeatree @read-write-thrive @agerblade @ouchmyghostskin @tragedy-machine @fan-a-tink @kisolvetica @asidian
10 People I'd Like to Know Better
Thanks for the tags @gaiaseyes451 and @beerok23!💜!💜
last song: Gloria by the Lumineers
favourite colour: Red, like a deep luscious red that you know would taste good if you licked it. Don't act innocent, you know exactly what I mean by that. Red is a color that you just know tastes good.
last book: I am currently trying to read the Witcher series (per @lickthecowhappy's suggestion) so I am at the start of the Last Wish
last movie: Moana 2 (I have young kidsssss)
last TV show: My oldest is almost 10 which means she stays up late. Which also means I have so little time to watch adult things. So we've been watching the Office with her. I think I want to watch the Good Place with her next tho (I've never watched it!)
sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet followed very, very closely by spicy. Habanero maple syrup is one of my favorite things on the planet.
last thing i searched online: How to explain a 10 year career hiatus in a cover letter (looking to return to work since having kids. It's been an interesting experience so far).
current obsession: Have not moved on from Good Omens, but recently realized that my obsession may be more in my own little connected universe of fics that I wrote rather than the actual canon at this point😳. I'm sure once we get that first glimpse of red and white hair that will change very quickly.
looking forward to: Going back to work and having a more established adult life again, honestly. I've been so lucky to be home with my kids while they are young, but I am ready. And figuring out how my newfound passion for writing is going to fit into that new life of mine. Another big year of change over here for me, and I am eagerly looking forward to how the growing pains are going to make way for something beautiful beyond.
ten people i’d like to know better:
@addledmongoose, @di-42, @afrenchwriter, @haemey, @eybefioro, @alwaystuesday, @katspause, @alphacentaurinebula, @shadesofecclescakes, @ochre-sunflower and whoever wants to do it (but also feel free to ignore!)

You have a Christmas surprise for Bucky while he's away on a mission.
CW(so much tooth rotting fluff, Soft!Bucky with his anxious gf, Christmas activities, slow dancing).
*originally posted on my old blog*
“Doll?”
Turning swiftly on my heels, I nearly dropped the basket of Christmas Ornaments to the ground when I saw that familiar face staring back at me.
“You’re early! You weren’t supposed to come back until tomorrow night!” I nearly whined.
Bucky's dark eyes tracked all of the bright lights and colorful decor before landing on the tree in the corner of the room, next to our bed. A soft tune from the 40’s played on the record player, basking us back to a time where Bucky was in his prime, as he would say.
He was still dressed in his tac gear, just returning from his mission which is why I was so upset he was back. I missed him dearly since he’d been gone for over a week but I hadn’t finished setting up our room in the compound yet.
“What’s this?” He asked while setting his bag on our bed.
With a slight frown, I set down the box next to it and sighed. “I was setting up the Christmas decor. I was hoping to have it finished before you got back. I know our room here at the compound is small and I can’t do much but I wanted it to feel like Christmas.”
As much as I would have loved to have a large Christmas tree, we shared one of the smaller rooms in the new compound so I was left with a small 4 ft tree that was shoved in the corner next to our bed. I had colorful string lights hanging along the ceiling and on the television was one of those videos of a fireplace.
“You did all of this?” Bucky pointed around with a still unreadable look on his face.
I shifted on my feet, suddenly nervous I overstepped. We’ve only been dating for less than a year and while we shared a room together, I thought maybe it would have been best to ask him beforehand. He was still dealing with the aftermath of everything, leaving Hydra and trying to do good in the eyes of the public. The last thing I wanted was to set him back in his progress.
“Do you not like it? Maybe I should have asked you first. This was stupid.”
I began reaching for the tree, ready to take it down when vibranium fingers wrapped around my wrist to bring me into his chest. Those eyes started down at me, a slight smile playing on Bucky's lips.
“I love it, doll. You didn’t have to do all of this for me.”
I ran my fingers through his short hair as our bodies began sweating softly to the music. “Yes I did. You mentioned how you hadn’t celebrated Christmas since the 40’s. You deserve to feel the Christmas magic again.”
My giggles echoed in the room as Bucky spun me before dipping me low, his lips capturing mine in a tender kiss.
“I love you. Thank you,” he brushed his nose against mine after he brought me back up straight.
I clasped my hands behind his neck, breathing in his familiar scent. “I love you too, Bucky.”
We slow danced for the next while as the music played and the snow began to fall outside, the scent of peppermint lingering in the air

aurghhh ok still rewatching '97 and the way guts and casca only have the room to breathe and really come to understand and care for each other in griffith's absence because he has such a strong hold over them both.... and the way their mutual dedication to him is what causes them to bicker for years (casca thinks he's not serving him well enough, guts thinks she doesn't get that he cares/how much he cares, casca's jealousy over griffith's feelings for guts, how he won his heart without even trying or being aware of it or doing anything with it) and is also a big part of what brings them together (earlier when guts deviates from the plan to save griffith and she commends him, in the cave casca opening up about griffith and her's past, showing that vulnerability, while it's mostly confrontational, leads to guts kinda getting her better, and his efforts to save and protect her (falling off the cliff with her, taking on the 100 men so she can escape, encouraging her to return to griffith so she can help him because it's what she feels she's meant to do (her dream, the direction in life guts shares and yet is questioning because of griffith's speech at the fountain, whether or not it's enough to serve him if it means he'll never be a true friend in griffith's eyes because he's not an equal), supporting the idea of her being with griffith/being his most important person like he won't because he doesn't view it as a competition like she has been since day one) leading to her realizing that he's kind of not that bad a guy and they have a lot more in common that she thought. and how the bonfire of dreams conversation is guts opening up to her in kind, the answer to her talking about how griffith saved her, how she feels. how neither of them ever call it love but it's something they know they both have for griffith. how it's something they're beginning to have for each other, different in ways they couldn't put a word to. because they're equals this time. the way griffith kind of becomes less and less important as they find other reasons to live and fight, as they become less singularly obsessed with him. how griffith is unable to stand it, guts' personhood, that agency and peer-to-peer equality he claimed to want (and perhaps truly did) that disappeared guts from his life, his plans, his side. how it barely even matters to griffith how casca changes because he never wanted her like she wanted him. god i can't fucking stand their shakespearean nonsense drama (<- hopelessly in love with their interpersonal dynamics)
#god they're the only healthy part of this unholy mind-palace love triangle/throuple aren't they#they could have been the worst qpr/throuple in your social circle. like just insufferable when they're not getting along#if griffith hadn't [oh god oh fuck oh jesus christ] all over everything even remotely good in his life anyway#poor casca's in love with a gay man and then falls for his not-quite-boyfriend and when not-quite-boyfriend reciprocates said gay man fucki#g. Does The Eclipse Stuff. at least partially to get back at you two. oh my godd#i'm sorry i'm so not normal about them. it's starting to leak out into the blog bc i'm finally having a Berserk Moment since starting tumbl#but whewwwww. gotta get this outta my system#hope this wall of text makes sense oops <3#berserk#berserk 1997#how do i even tag their thang. their disastrous just horrible agonizing 3 guy dynamic. hm.#gutsca#griffguts#don't even know if anyone tags for griffith and casca. fair because 1) he raped her. yikes 2) he just straight up isn't into her#and i don't know if there's a tag for the three of them but trial and error led to nothing#but i wanna talk about their dynamic. their. (gestures wildly) whatever. it's not about thinking griffith should kiss anyone it's about lik#the agony. the pining and the torment and whatever miura so beautifully crafted for me specifically. sheesh#hope it's clear that i Don't Want Them To Be An Uwu Little Polycule Bc Casca Should Not Be In A Cutesy Throuple With Her Rapist#it's more that i think they kind of are or almost are part of this (gestures wildly again). Thing. with each other and i wanna talk about i#same with griffguts like oh man they should NOT be in a relationship. but i have this deep intense Need to study them and frankly they're#kind of crazy about each other for a while. like they care about each other so so much it's crucial to all three of their characters.#so it's kind of unavoidable. and i wanna talk about it. and have this read by people who also want to talk about it. yeah? yeah.#(and yeah i think griffith raping casca was about her and guts. like 'fuck you for making him okay with leaving me' type of vibe. even#though it wasn't her fault he's just. god. but it sure as hell isn't Mostly about casca because griffith's making eye contact like the Whol#time with guts. he makes him watch. it's just. shooooooooooo aughhhhghhghh fucking. jesus christ. that or it's the fear that his two most#important pawns are going to leave him Together and he just. can't deal with that. especially after the torture internment thing.#he's so weak and he was so close to his dream and now it's falling apart and they're leaving him and he can't even move. it's about making#damn sure they can't escape him or forget him ever again.#or maybe it's even a 'you can't have her she's mine' to guts but it's still largely like. spiteful/about possessing her as a soldier/human#because i don't think you could convince me it's about having her as a lover or about controlling/hurting/possessing her body.)

One thing about canto VI is like. I see so many people predicting it'll be about Fighting Evil Wife or Breaking Codependent Toxic Relationship and I just kinda think that would suck? If the major theme isn't grief AND love and the way both are seen as like Kinda Weird/inappropriate in the setting of the city. Then I'll be very sad.
#bell.txt#not putting it in the tag i dont wanna spam but yes limbus posting yes girls will be thinking about mortal regret#LIKE. LIKE. remember the discourse on twt about how like it was bad writing that yi sang didnt mourn dongbaek etc#and like that was the thing right. thsts not a thing you do in the city. that was part of why roland (who takes lots after wh's themes)#was so exceptional. that is the whole thing about the sickness of the city#to say it in comedia literary criticism terms: sins are split between wrongly-directed love and excess of love with sloth (lack of love)#being an outlier. i think heatho and generally og wh is about excess of love and not wrongly-directed love. it is the thing that lasts#all the way to the other side. it is the shared coffin and meeting again in the next life#i think itd be AWFULLY disappointing to get some boring boring 'they make each other worse' take. being APART due to societal pressures#makes them worse and horribly lonely. death makes them worse baby. so in my mind thats it#we get to see cathy die or still be unreachable in some way and then in very roland style we get furioso mode#and then the ending is about recognizing the love that has in fact been there all along and carrying it with u. and hoping to reunite some#where some other time. NO more slander of that awful girl. YES to the comfort of the memories.#me typing over my foscolo notes like i can surely post about heathcliff really fast and not write a novel in the tags (unaware)#i have more thoughts about this in regards to ruina with xiao and some stuff from leviathan but in the meantime. listen to my ramblings boy#ALSO. considering that implication. he feels for her what queequeg feels for ishy. ARGHH. RIPPING MY HAIR OFF#ok actually its been enough hours to not spam ppl I'll tag it now for blog org. i should maybe have a tag for posting specifically#limbus company

Finally got a tekken 3 copy with its manual and wanted to compare the story synopsis of the final product with the demo i got a few months ago. Save to say that the quality difference is substantial.
I’m still confused on what they wanted to accomplish by the early concept of ogre not only killing jun but also kazuya. I’d write it off as an error but it appears in multiple sources so it makes me wonder if the early version of the story would have had kazuya living peacefully with jun after tekken 2? It seems so far fetched especially with them establishing that heihachi reigns as head of the mishima zaibatsu.
#tekken#shoomi.txt#should prob put this in the side blog buuut i’ve been neglecting this blog for months now#not over “jun kazuya” how do you even make that mistake#im unsure whether the demo was released before or along with the full product but im assuming before just for the story misconceptions#ngl the thought of kazuya leaving it all behind to leave with jun always sorta… rubbed me the wrong way#not that im not all for happy kazjun#(okay maybe if they work hard for it)#but kazuya abandoning his quest to murder heihachi seems so…. un-kazuya#at least to me#he’s a character that’s built off vengeance for the wrongs he has been dealt so idk#just me being particular anout kaz i guess#happy for jun tho she deserves to have a full family. for however long it lasts#hmmm but thinking of the implication of the reveal in t8 about her in such an au#it’s been a while since i got into the tekken headspace haha#also sorry for the bad captures i scanned these on my phone

a little birdy told me you have some kind of an AU for the Funtime animatronics also?
... who is this.
There are, like, only 5 people who know about this. So which one of youse is it? >:'D (I am not mad. I am very glad to have the opportunity to tease it out. <3)
I am working on an AU featuring the Funtimes, little birdy is right! It's a very different flavour than Call of the Abyss, more of a fantastical drama than a science-fiction horror mystery. It is a tale of duty and responsibility, secrets and closets, choices and consequences, healing and growth, a farmer's child and a puzzling fae, and above all, it is a tale about two lonely souls whose fates are more closely intertwined than either realize.
It is also a tale full of fae shenanigans, fun and indulgence. It's not a serious epic like Call of the Abyss, and hopefully not as huge and ambitious either. 😂 So, dropping the serious act, it's a Fae AU in which some poor unsuspecting farmer gets caught up in the Funtimes' court's bullshit and learns to navigate a new social circle that seems hellbent on keeping their newest member close. I will make a new blog just for it, as there will be more, err, kid-unfriendly elements featuring in this one - I want to be able to properly curate my audience for this AU without alienating people who follow me here and like my non-explicit stories. So, until that's done, I'm leaving y'all with this little sneak peek. :)
#might as well begin to tag this au properly ->#come along now#also kukkis i'm going 'pspspspspsps' at you#the blog is coming i promise#and so are the answers to all the unanswered asks in my inbox i promise 😭#also this does not mean that cota is on hiatus or abandoned - absolutely NOT#i AM working on chapter 9 as slow as it is going#i've just been a little overwhelmed lately - i've been dealing with the stress of the parents trying to sell the house and move#and me having to move along with them further from my whole life because of the absolutely ABYSMAL state of the housing market as of late#i have had to vacate my home nearly every weekend for visits and along with activities and catching covid and funerals... well#writing has been put on the ice for a little while#but there's light at the end of the tunnel - i just need to find some stability again and i should be able to dive right back into it!#thank you all for your patience while i find my footing once more

I think I managed to mask the fact that I'm a weirdo internet person so well to the general public that people think of me as some kind of extrovert normie character but that results in me hanging out with people that I have nothing in common with ;_; but also I like hanging out and socializing so it's not unbearable. I still feel heavily disconnected from that world beyond a surface level :')
#is this what i wanted all along i wonder#even though I've been *talking* with a couple of girls here and there there's no real deep connection in the way that im looking for#but I've also grown comfortable in that outer layer of normalcy...#stuck between a rock and a hard place!#also I suppose I could blame Tumblr for skewing my tastes and expectations 😔#anyways this should probably have gone on the other blog but fuck it i do what i want#keepin' it mellow

banging my head against the wall. does anyone wanna go insane and read TMNT Mirage #37 with me? An emotionally fraught jouney of faith and family and battling for or against your roots of eons past? You should. But if your not in for reading a 40 page comic I have a condensed visual/textual moments and summation for you! You might enjoy it!
[Mirage 37, Rick McCollum and Bill Anderson]
ID: Turtles walking through a forest with full camping bags. Mikey has his mask around his neck and wears a bucket hat: Well..." Raph wears a wide brimmed fedora type hat, he balances one sai by its point on his finger: "You do got a point, buddy." Leo is shadowed in the back with a straw hat. END
[In this comic the turtles are depicted with understated beaks and look lankier than Classic Mirage style. Their skin is usually in the darker of the 2 toners, and their masks are left without toner.]
ID: From behind the group, Don and Mikey in silhouette up front. Behind them, Raph is throwing his sai in the air. Leo is saying "I believe you Don, but... Spiritual meaning? Maybe you're reading too much into it." Close on Don's face, frowning "No, I'm not." END.
[See Donatello: The Ring, in Turtle Soup #2] Here's what you missed: Don went on a spiritual journey by himself. Now he wants them all to experience it.
ID: Three turtles and Splinter in the farm house living room. Raph and Mikey on the couch with books, Leo on the floor polishing his sword. Splinter standing to the side. Raph: Yeah, but Casey's car's on the blink. Mike: I hope its doesn't fall apart while he's out with April. Leo: Don will fix it when he returns. Raph has one leg up, is tossing some shuriken in one hand, his books says "Fun with sai". Mike slouches and has a drink can, his book is "Life of Bruce Lee" END
ID: Three Panels of Don explaining his experience in front of a large fire, fiddling with his bo staff, the flames curl around him as he speaks. A brow raised: But it wasn't the trees- It was one of us! The Father of All Reptiles Looking contemplative: He was a turtle. Or a ghost. Some kind of spirit... With a sheepish smile: And I'm glad I met him. He said I was special... END
Splinter reprimands the other turtles for not taking Don seriously. His lecture:
"Your lack of respect is unbecoming. Have I so failed you that you have no feel for your heritage, your roots? Reptiles ruled this world for uncounted eons, your people strode the land, slipped through the warm seas, and skittered about the sky. Though gone, their blood is your blood. And their spirit should be yours! They are your elders, with their bones left in the rock, lasting forever in the skin of the world. Respect them, and honor their spirits as you do me!" "Recall the time you spent, eons past, with your friend Renet. How you spoke of it once you'd returned! Did you not feel a sense of unity with that time? Did you not resonate to the heart-beat of the archosaurs? Your enthusiasm lingered for weeks."
[See Tales of TMNT 7] They went back in time and met dinosaurs, amongst other things.
ID: Panels with a close up on each character. April in profile, with a solemn look: You babbled on about it for days. Mike smiling wide: Yeah! It was warm! Leo, clutching his sword, looking away: I felt so free! Raph, his mask pushed up to his forehead, an eyes closed smile: Three months of fishing! Don, holding his staff, looking down: Yes, I was... Happy. END
Splinter continues to speak.
"Happiness…Ah, Donatello, it is so ephemeral. As was the time of those reptiles. Everything is a ring, and the ring turns. The world grew cold, small, furry creatures came out of the shadows. The dinosaurs died. The age of mammals began."
Raph, upset, gets disparaging about what the predominance of mammals has done to the earth.
ID: Three panels. Raph, shocked, hand over his mouth: I can't believe I said that. Splinter looming over Raph, who jerks back. Splinter: ~Think~ before~ you~ speak~ Raphael! Raph: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Splinter: Need I remind you that your best friend Casey Jones is a mammal? Close on Raph and April. Splinter off panel: Not to mention myself? Raph: Eep! April grimacing: I'm feeling warm-blooded and hairy also! END
ID: Four panels. Caption box: And look they do— Raph looking at two trees growing diagonally, thinking: I don't even know what I'm looking for. Leo, partially hidden behind foliage, thinking: Something's up. I feel... something. Mike, looking at a tree that's grown a loop in its trunk, thinking: Is this a "spiritual experience?" Don, walking through the trees in silhouette thinking: Why can't I find the place?" END
After a day of searching, they camp, but Mike goes missing during his watch in the night.
ID: Two panels, each showing Raph and Don and they face off and argue, their speech bubbles placed between them. Raph is backed up against a tree, angry, clenching his sais tightly. Don has his bo like a walking stick, and seems calmer.
Raph: Why? Mike needs us! Don, with an irregular speech bubble: Either he is alive or he is dead. The quest is more important. R: What are you talking about? What's wrong with you? D, normal bubble: Nothing. I had a dream last night. If we give up the quest, we've lost. R: Mike is more important! D: That's what the adversary hopes you think. R: What adversary? D, irregular bubble: Have Faith. R: Donatello! D, regular bubble: Remember when you devovled? We kept faith. R, yelling: AAARGH! END
[See Mirage 24-26] Raph was de-mutated into a regular turtle, his brothers had to go on a journey to save him.
ID: Leo, mask off, scowling "This is what we'll do. Break camp. Consolidate our gear. Bury what's left. We're on a combat mission now. We'll keep faith, Don, but--. A narrow panel of Don, drawn small, gripping his staff: What? Leo getting in Don's face, displeased: I hate leaving Mike. -- Just make sure you're right. END
Raph goes missing on their second nights watch, Don becomes stranger and more convicted about this quest.
ID: Leo, furiously, points in the direction of the viewer, accusing Don. "What's with you? Why are you so out of it?! -- What's wrong with your voice? [Larger text] Don't you care about Mike or Raph?! END
ID: Don sits facing away from Leo, gripping his staff, angry, speaking towards his hands. Leo looks on from a ways back, dramatically lit. Don: [Large text] Of course I do! [Normal text] But... I don't know what's wrong with my voice. I don't know who the Adversary is. And yet..." END
ID from alt: Two panels, Leo glaring, getting in Don's face, pointing at his beak, grabbing Don's staff. "Who told you this?" Don has brows raised. Don, with a wincing smile: "The Father of us all." END
ID: Multiple panels. Close on Leo, "Remember what I said about being sure?" Don holding his staff in front of himself, seemingly scared, "Leo, please." Mid on Leo, more neutral frown, "Don..." Full body, Leo turns away, the wind picks up. Leo facing away, pulled back shot. "Let's keep going." END
Narration as they travel further into stranger and stranger territory.
Leonardo: What was to be a relaxing romp has become a grueling death march. Sweating and hacking through the threatening undergrowth, he understands that he is hopelessly lost. As lost as Donatello seems to be, following an Unknown pull, mumbling to somebody only he can hear Donatello: while Leonardo must fight the wild landscape, he slips easily through the thorns. And he listens, and talks. Hair is better than scales? The birds are traitors, having stolen the secret of hot blood? Giants, brought low by small, furry ones? As he pursues the silent beckoning, he learns...
They have a run in with a foe in pitch black forest. They take many hits but score one back, severing one limb, hairy and clawed, then retreat. Don garbs himself in some make shift religious fair, using his blanket, mud and ash. The two sleep, they dream.
And they dream the same dream. They see their blood rise and rule. The ring is turning. The reptiles differentiate, and claim the seas and air. They see their family as it might have become- If the ring hadn't broken. They feel contempt for their children, the birds, as they invade the skies. But it is nothing compared to the fear which the small hairy ones bring. The furry horde had been around since the reptiles beginnings- swarming… unstoppable.
ID: Three panels. Caption Box: The morning brings questions. Leo and Don sit with their backs to a tree. Don's taken his mask off, made a dark markings on his face and body, and wears a hood. Leo: Did you dream-? Don: Yes. Leo looks upset, gestures with a hand in front of himself. "I... felt grief. Anguish. They must be let loose. -- But why? And how?" Don's face is completely shadowed by his hood, his eyes and teeth stick out in far too much detail. It is an unsettling smile. "You're starting to learn." END
Another fight, Don's leg is broken by the mammalian Adversary. Leo, with all the weight of the loss of his brothers, takes position to make a last stand protecting him. But Don urges him to continue on, to find and aid the Father of all Reptiles.
ID: Many panels, Don injured, propped against a tree. Eyes closed in pain he says "Can't you hear?" Leo looks behind them. A strange voice says "Come." Close on Don, crying, yelling at Leo "Go! Please! I have faith in you!" Leo's eyes, frowning. Leo's hand, offering his sword. Leo's eyes, he's crying through his mask. "Take this." Don's hand taking the sword from Leo. Narrow panel, Leo walks away, remaining sword drawn. "Fight well." END
ID: A cut off panel with dialogue, and a close on Leo, framed between two rocks, crying heavily. The says: You have become one with sorrow. You are sad. I am glad. Now we may speak. END
Leo climbs and the conversation continues.
Narration: There are sounds behind him, as he climbs. Voice: Your brother Donatello gave me joy when we met. I thought it would release me from my grief. Narration: Following him as he scampers every higher. Voice: I tried to go. But joy is ephemeral-- Narration: Leonardo reaches the top with haste. Voice: While melancholy lasts forever.
Leo sits at the mountain peak, thinks of his brothers, contemplates the sounds of the Adversary below and the Father of all Reptiles speaks to him more, as he falls into sleep.
This is my nexus, my holy spot. This is my prison, where I am trapped by my sadness. Dream of extinction. Dream of death. Once we were, now we are not. You and yours are what we could have been-- Had not the hairy ones come. All the scaly brethren are my children… But they hairy ones killed them-
Leo wakes slowly to a growl, then all at once with a yelp.
ID: Full page, the Father of all reptiles finishes in a yell. "THEY ATE MY EGGS!" The mammalian Adversary's loud growl just under the speech bubble. It looms in the panel, over Leo at the bottom, his sword drawn. The Adversary, large and rodent like, fur dark, eyes gleaming, foam dripping from its mouth. One arm severed and still bleeding, implanted in it are the weapons from Leo's brothers. Raph's sai in its leg, Mike's nunchaku in the stub of its arm, Don's staff and Leo's other sword in its chest. Other small rodents cling to its form. Surrounding the image, marginalia in the corners. Cracked eggs up top, rodents in the bottom. And a border of text, listing eras, genera and species of or relating to early mammals. END
Leo's brothers, injured, wounds wrapped and broken limbs braced, are following his trail. They see signs in the sky, Mikey thinks it looked like a massive turtle. Don is assured with his faith that this means the Father of All Reptiles is aiding Leo, and that they should rest. Mike and Raph leave him to sit at the mountain base (offering him another weapon for protection), and make their way up.
Narration: At the pinnacle, a warm, fresh breeze wafts downward. The trees below grow normal. Throughout the world, fossil Mesozoic eggs break apart, as fetal reptile souls are let loose. Paleontologists will find no more intact eggs. EVER.
ID: Full page panel, Leo sits at the base of the giant cracked egg of the Father of All Reptiles. Sword dangling, he's exhausted, blood splatters him, his sword, and the mottled surface of the egg shell. The Adversary's head and remaining hand are laying to one side, the dark mass of fur on his other. His brothers cresting the peak see him, and he says "We freed him. The wheel is moving again. The ring is whole." Caption box: And whole, the ring moves on. A Marginalia drawing in the corner shows a small rodent, the front of its body inside the cracked shell of an egg. END
#some shit#tmnt#tmnt mirage#wifi blogs mirage#<- more posts like this. and less like this. there#turbles...#pretty please someone be insane about this with me? i just think its sooooooooo#my heart hurts thinking about them yearning for when the earth might have been better suited for beings like them.#and the tension between don having this true like spiritual experience and their family bonds.#NORMALLY. im against stories making any of the turtles be skeptics. especially for mirage. it just comes off a little strange. with all#they've been thru.

hi guys i am pretty bored
#i think i might have art block#and also probably depression#it’s such a shame that qsmp ended the way that it did#for everything it did against the language barrier and like connections and stuff it deserved a much better fate#it’s just so sad thinking back to how it all fell apart i remember it feeling really weird#i dunno#i was intending to draw a few things for a qsmp splatoon au too by the way#in which the eggs are golden eggs that will hatch into salmonids (obv) and the federation is like grizz and the codes are like#octarians and all#and i was kind of looking forward to doing that for the daily blog but i never got around to it#i also think it’s sad that because qsmp is over i don’t have as much motivation to learn languages#i wish i could speak languages better i just lack the confidence#i have been learning french since i was in senior kindergarten and i am a bit better at it than my peers with the same experience#but it’s hard to string a sentence along in writing#everything is so much easier to second guess and it feels like everyone’s gonna judge me you know#i just need to speak more#i play minecraft in french in an attempt to keep up with it which is fun i must admit but it doesn’t help my speaking out loud or writing#i’m gonna be in another french class next year and i’ll probably get my b1 so that should help my confidence#but that is still a little while away

I tried to stop myself from posting this but the whole 'victuuri is unhealthy because x or y or they are codependent/yuuri is always selfish and cold to victor' take that seems so prevalent across the post I came across genuinely upsets me so much it has been making me feel low-key physically nauseous when I think about anything related to the show and it sucks honestly
#Like I know I disagree with those takes and ik why#I also know now relationship is 100% perfect but when people apparently used that as some sort of justification#For this take always makes me uncomfortable#I know I should just ignore this and I have been but I also can't stop thinking about it#Maybe it is a me problem or something like I know don't like don't read and stuff#But there is a part of my mind that is kind of like. oh no what if it is true what if#These takes are true and I am willfully being ignorant or not being critical of whatever or etc#I just. ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhugh#I don't want to post this either because I feel nowadays all I've been talking about on here excluding rbs is just about how I saw x take#About this show and how that upsetted me which when said repeatedly seems kind of stupid#And looks like I am deliberately seeking out stuff that upsets me#And if I am being honest that is also part of the problem like. I know that if I block a blog it is def because I read something that just#Upsetted me a lot#But WHY doesn't it stop me from clicking the view blog button is just. stupidity on my part#And I just didn't want to come off as too sensitive or whiny#But like rn it's almost the end of holidays so I think I just need to#find a solution to this for once and for all#aaand also it is almost am rn and I saw an extremely hideous take along the lines of what I mentioned and it was vile#and it is just bothering me ao much I. Can't stop thinking about it and it is making me too uneasy#(also combined with my nervousness for the end of holidays obv but eh)#idk this is giving me flash backs to the whole ladynoir season 4 discourse except the stuff I've seen is even more extreme and I just. ugh
