#i still can't believe i actually wrote it

[aquarianlights]

I am so upset about this that I cannot just type this in the tags, I'm sorry.

Has anyone contacted his son, who is STILL ALIVE??? Richard Blair has been active in fighting against stuff like this online for a LONG TIME!

If anyone can prove this is real, PLEASE someone contact Richard.

Also, he set up a digital space in the Library at the University College of London that you can access A TON of fully & partially digitized works from George Orwell (his father, real name Eric Arthur Blair). If you are in the UK & have a library card, you can probably access everything. Unfortunately, I'm in the US, so I can't. I also don't have a library card anymore (our uni has an incredible free library to use with our student ID's oops 🥲).

Here is the link:

As someone who loves all things Orwell, this post seriously made my heart stop.

I just need this to be satire. I need this to be satire or a hoax or anything else. This desecrates everything Orwell stands for & he would be turning in his fucking grave knowing this monstrosity is going to hit the public. It makes a fucking *mockery* of everything Orwellian & is going to send the exact opposite fucking message he poured his entire life into sending. They are going to turn this into some kid-friendly, happy-go-lucky, pro-capitalist, AI-looking movie that is going to have people reading the book & being shocked it is the other way around.

But you know what? Maybe that's what we need.

Maybe we need people to get excited about reading Orwellian fiction. I didn't know who Orwell was until we studied 1984 in school. It shaped my entire childhood &, now, still shapes my adulthood. All his work & he, as a person, have shaped my very existence.

Then again, maybe they'll do exactly what Orwell wrote of. Maybe they'll just ban or alter his books to fit their narrative. Maybe it will devolve past newsspeak & thoughtcrime. Maybe we will devolve into an entire Fahrenheit 451 (by Ray Bradbury, pls read it) situation & we just won't be allowed to read books at all.

They already alter & ban books. They already alter movies & tv shows. They, being, whichever power be it at the top of each industry & the government itself. Any pro-capitalist monstrosity. The 1% want to stay the 1%, after all. And who the fuck are we to actually know the truth in any situation, even fictional? It is "just make believe", right? But, oh, how powerful fiction can be. Orwell proved that.

As begrudgingly as I say this...

Let this movie be made. Let everyone who knows nothing of Orwell watch it. And let them become interested in Orwell as a whole. "I didn't know this was what Animal Farm was about! Maybe I should read the book after all!" Yes. Yes, you should. And maybe it will open your eyes to an entirely different view of the world like 1984 did mine when I was a child. And maybe then we can start to fight back as a whole.

I'm so tired of this happening. I'm just so tired. I'm so fucking tired.

I guess this is what the new animal farm movie is going to look like huh...

PLEASE CAN YOU TELL US MORE OF YOUR DEMON SHADOW MILK COOKIE AU!!! I LOVE THE ONESHOT YOU WROTE!!

Its still being worked on but I'll give you the gists of it. Im officially calling it the Angels And Demons Au.

@mimiexe15 @mspurpl3

*It's only loosely based off the actual Cookie Run/Cookie Run Kingdom lore. Everything else is my own creating.

*The 'cookies' in this au are still created by the Witches but instead of being actual witches, they're basically a whole Pantheon of Goddesses with Warlocks too bring the bad gods. So think of Ancient Greek or Egyptian kind of Pantheon of gods. Witches are the good ones and Warlocks are the bad, but there isn't one group of all girls or boys. In this au there's boy witch gods, girl warlock gods, etc. and like the Ancient Greek Pantheon there's different Witch/Warlock gods representing different things. Ex: Witch of Fertility and Light, Warlock of Chaos, etc.

*Similar to the game they create Earth and in turn made the creatures whom live on it. Only the cookies are actually different mythical beings instead of cookies. Millennial Tree cookie is a driad, Elder Fairy Cookie is actually a fairy, and the Yeast Beasts are demons so on and so forth. They all aldo keep their original names minus the 'cookie' part because I like the idea of the Witch/Warlock gods literally having a giant kitchen in their realm that they literally created them with.

*Their versions of Heaven and Hell literally are giant offices. I'm not exaggerating. There's whole departments dedicated to certain branches including soul transportation, punishment schedules that's literally just appointments the higher ups make to have certain souls receive punishments from certain demons. Example being- "Mr. John Doe. Yes. Sorry for the delay in Purgatory. Unfortunately we get MANY John Does down here and your soul file had gotten mixed up with someone else's. We had to reschedule your appointment with Burning Spice but rest assured you will be keeping your punishment for scamming people out of their money. Please have a seat back in Purgatory and we'll have a demon fetch you shortly."

*There's other parts too. The 'higher ups' are the witches and warlocks whom act more like managers and ceos most of the time. Purgatory is literally just one big waiting room while the desk clerks are waiting for the higher ups or angels/demons to review a soul's good and bad deeds and then give them a call with instructions. Basically like a HUGE DMV only more boring with longer waiting hours. There's still temples you can pray to the Witches or Warlocks to as well but any prayers are recorded and then forwarded to the said witch/warlock's branch of the department. Like an office.

*There's still regular ways to summon an angel or demon, rituals, Sacrifices, spells, prayers, portals, etc- But there's very strict rules for it due to the literal amount of paperwork it causes due to the chaos that used to happen on earth when mythical beings were more believed in instead of being passed off as fairytales and ghost stories.

*The Yeast Beasts still have basically the same backstories as the cannon ones. Witches made them as Angels to guide humanity, they corrupted under the pressure, witches stopped them, and they had their og soul powers stripped. The only difference was that instead of being stuck in a tree, they were banished to hell and kept in cells until Enchantress 'Cookie' released them. The heroes also have the same back stories as usual, only really they were humans chosen to be blessed with the powers of the og YB crew and stopped them from wrecking havoc on earth. Some ascended to become angels when they passed such as Pure Vanilla and White Lily.

*The whole departments and strict rules weren't made and or really reinforced until after the Five were banished twice to Tartarus and slapped with punishments and restrictions they can't break however they're still pretty powerful even restricted to Tartarus so they were able to conquer large sections of it that they rule over with an iron fist....Yet are only permitted to under the conditions that they don't try anymore uprisings.

*Each demon has an angel counterpart keeping an eye on them and to constantly keep them in check. For Eternal Sugar it's Hollyberry, for Shadow Milk it's Pure Vanilla, etc. As well as being their counterparts, they're also assigned to the same human as their Guardian Angel/Angel on their shoulder and the devil on their shoulder/personal demon.

*Humans to angels and demons are often referred to as 'clients'(again it's just a giant office), and have case files with their entire life stories stored away in gigantic filing cabinets.

*Every human is assigned one Angel and one Demon from the beginning. The angel acts as their Guardian Angel, voice of reason, and angel on their shoulder. The demon acts as their personal demon causing hardships, being the devil on their shoulder, and is the one responsible for the sudden feelings of negativity they feed to you. However they're not allowed to actually influence or force the human to do anything. They can try to sway or convince them in one way or another but the final decision must be made by the human alone in the end. The only exception to this is if the human made a binding contract with a demon which the angel can't interfere with unless the higher ups saw so, or the Guardian Angel keeps them from lethal harm before their assigned time of death.

*For Y/n Shadow Milk is assigned to her as the Devil on her shoulder/Personal Demon and Pure Vanilla is assigned to be her shoulder angel/Guardian Angel to be sure Shadow Milk doesn't try anything harmful. ... Actually it was by complete accident that they were assigned to her. Originally it was supposed to be Black Sapphire that was assigned to be her demon and Sugarfly her angel however there was supposed to be certain papers filed away for her in her 'soul file' stating that. No one is sure HOW exactly but somehow a mix up happened through processing the paperwork and Shadow Milk was listed as her demon instead alongside Sugarfly.

*As per the rules the assigned demon/angel was informed via sent their version of a company email and everyone else was pretty surprised. The five Demon Lords weren't really picked to be a human's demon (and for good reason!), so imagine Shadow Milk's surprise but excitement when he finds out he'll finally get to have access to Earth and a human!! Meanwhile Sugarfly is pretty much shaking in her halo. Shadow Milk was a WAY stronger being than she was! There was no way she could stop him from wrecking havoc on the poor human! The power imbalance was obvious!!

*The higher ups are also confused. Black Sapphire was supposed to be listed so why was Shadow Milk listed instead?? A small 'HR' investigation is launched and they find it's not the only mix up that's happened strangely. Nothing too serious, mostly some harmless mislables or some 'employees' given the wrong assignments but it's still a problem that needs to be solved before something majorly bad happens. No one is sure if it's being done on purpose so they must take this seriously.

*It's confusion all around but it's mutually decided that it'd be a headache for EVERYONE if Shadow Milk is allowed to run around unchecked so while they try to figure out who did something wrong with what and where, they reassign Pure Vanilla as Y/n's Angel instead until the issue is fixed. Shadow Milk is NOT happy to see Pure Vanilla there on earth with him instead of the weak little angel he was supposed to be working with but what's done is done and he can't do anything about it. Which means most of the time he's causing shenanigans while PV puts checks him constantly. While Y/n is confused at the sudden chaos in her life and believes she's now being haunted.

*There's also the concept of Demi gods. Descendants of the Witches and Warlocks and come from bloodlines of both Devine and human. However most Demi gods either died out or their bloodlines stretched so thin that the Devine power no longer existed by the time present say rolls around. Until both PV and SM are assigned to Y/n and realize the power lying dormant in her body. The first real Demi God in centuries and she couldn't even use her unknown powers.

*This is both good and bad. That kind of raw power rivals the soul 'jam' PV posseses and if taken could be chaos. It horrifies PV and intrigues SM until they realize something. SM being assigned to her wasn't likely a coincidence. The most powerful Beast just so happens to be assigned to a Witches descendant? That wasn't a coincidence. And neither was the sudden influx of 'accidents' being assigned to her suddenly in her soul file when SM didn't outright take her powers obviously seeing this deceit for what it is.

*So now it's up to Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk to work together to keep Demi God Witch Y/n safe from whatever force is trying to take her powers for themselves as White Lily, Black Sapphire, and Candy Apple has to work together with their other crew and figure out who's manipulating behind the scenes before it's too late.

*And in the process the two start falling for her and of course start vying for her heart as well.

The True Face Deconstruction (2/2)

Part 1

Now we get to Till. In all the media in which we've seen him interact with Mizi, he can't get more than two words out without stuttering, if he says anything at all.

I don't have a translated version saved but he's trying to talk to Mizi and then crying about not being able to.

That's what Till manages to say to her. And this is what he thinks about her:

(I'll explain Round 2 in a separate post later.)

This is what he wrote about her the first time they met:

We know from that same piece of writing that he resolved to protect her: "if anyone tries to harm you". And it's a well-established fact he's always following her around, trying to summon the courage to talk to her. If she suddenly appeared with a bruise, he would absolutely lose his mind (especially given his own experiences).

Till also writes poetry and most of his poetry is about her (pg 59). If he could actually manage to speak to her, he definitely wouldn't answer with:

Furthermore, Till would immediately notice if her collar changed to orange - even more so if it's because of something he said. He'd be dead set on fixing it. (I'll elaborate on this in a future post.)

We can gather from this comic he is excessively apologetic when he believes he has done something wrong, even over the littlest things:

The blushing and stuttering in Mizi's mind seem more like her perception of him, not how he actually is. Her profile in the art book tells us she really had no clue he liked her:

This is also supposed to be about how Mizi "knew" the whole time. But this focuses on her relationship with Till and that she realizes he likes her. It says nothing about how he was always covered in bruises, which more so told the story of their reality.

I'm not sure even now she's aware how bad things would get.

With Till still laying on the ground, she throws her head back and the scene changes seamlessly to her Round 1 self berating her. Other people have better pointed out the contradictions in Mizi's storyline, so I'm going to leave off here.

[kings-highway]

i just finished reading floor 4 (delightful, by the way), and I was so tickled by the scene in chapter 1 after Suga's phone call. Where everyone's teasing Daichi about Suga being in love with him and Ushijima joins in, thinking its a fact because Tendou told him and clearly? Tendou's guesses are good enough to be taken as fact unless something suggests otherwise. on top of being hilarious, I think it's so fun to consider how it got to this point. especially with ushijima being bothered by baseless confidence. before going to highschool, ushiwaka was already at shiratorizawa's middle school, having its methodology drilled into his head. He is the culmination of everything the school stands for. Straightforward strength and brutality. then, first year in highschool, he meets tendou. tendou is clearly here by merit, and no one can deny how he embodies brute strength while smashing down spikes. Yet, his method is much more unorthodox. Ushijima is here to be ready to take any ball tossed his way and to blast it past anything standing in his way; that's both his job and technique. Tendou is supposed to block spikes. here he is, running around the court seemingly at random, sometimes losing the team points because the choice he locked himself into before the setter even tossed the ball. Despite that, he Does get it miraculously correct more times than not, and its Weird. the whole team thinks its weird, so its not just like ushijima is the only one for once. and when you ask this first year blocker how he knew to be exactly at the right place to smash the spike down? he shrugs. "vibes" or "gut feeling", sometimes he even says he can Smell It? What???? so it must be random, it has to be random. Ushiwaka has to contend that this boy was let into his prestigious school and volleyball team, he's making decisions that almost no once can predict, and his guesses affect the whole team based on whatever Vibes are. worse, tendou is confident in his "skill" and is resistant to playing volleyball any other way, and SOMEHOW, the coach seems fine with this??? no one gets tendou, but I feel like tendou's playstyle would be so difficult for ushiwaka to wrap his head around. so how long did it take? how many guesses on and off the court did it take for ushijima-- annoyed and baffled by the lack of sense all this makes-- to give in and accept that somehow, some way, tendou just Knows things more often than not. Tendou's guesses are enough to assume that sugawara and daichi are into each other, without ushiwaka even questioning it as a fact. and how far does ushijima believe it goes???? when they hang out off campus and tendou starts guessing the life stories of strangers walking by, there's no way to prove tendou Isn't right unless they ask. which they don't. could tendou guess winning lottery numbers if he wanted to? and if he can, does tendou know and is just deciding not to? the supernatural isn't real, but if they were, that'd explain a lot about his freaky best friend. if ANYONE is psychic, its probably tendou. SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE, I don't have any haikyu friends but I have a lot of Thoughts. no pressure to even reply I just needed to dump my thoughts somewhere

This is actually really interesting because I've had it as my headcanon for a while (and wrote it into a few wips I never finished, even) that Ushijima's play style is because of Tendou.

Tendou is, more than anyone else, best suited for kill-blocking Ushiwaka. In their first year, during training, he does this a lot. Ushijima cannot figure out why he can't get past Tendou's block, and Tendou ends up explaining how his "guess" blocking works - how he can read every detail of Ushijima posture and eyes and figure out exactly where the ball will go.

Ushijima struggles with theatre of the mind, but he does his very best to do what Tendou says. To change how his body is held, to fake him out... And Tendou still stuffs him. He can't figure out what he's doing wrong. Tendou explains that once he's explained how it worked, and Ushijima was going to try and mislead him, he'd started blocking where it didn't look like he was going to hit.

He tries to explain the mind game of blocking to him, the way it's a complicated dance between everyone on the court... And Ushijima hates it. He doesn't want to play volleyball if it requires complicated, PhD level analysis for every spike.

So the next time Tendou jumps for one of his blocks, he just hits it as hard as he fucking can and blows past Tendou's hands. Then he hits harder. Then he hits harder. Hey, it doesn't matter how well Tendou can predict his spike's path if the ball is too powerful to kill block.

By their third year Tendou is still the only person on the Shiratorizawa team that can kill-block Ushiwaka but that's because he sort of revels in the pain and likes feeling Ushijima's power like that. He does have to finish every block with his hands curled against his chest, fighting through the sting.

"I need to be more physically powerful that Tendou's intuition is efficient" is a terrifying way to play the game and I imagine when Tsukki gets that infamous block on him, Tendou is wincing and shaking his hands out in sympathy because yes it's a great feeling but christ at what cost? And then that's also why, later, Ushiwaka ends up hitting the ball so hard the power tears the skin on Tsukishima's hand. His response to a new blocker that could stop him was simply to hit harder.

Anyway I also entirely agree that he 100% has a frankly illogical amount of faith in Tendou. I think he thinks Tendou is a genius. Like sincerely. Where this is the smartest person in the world (he can read people so well its amazing!!) so anything he says Ushijima trusts implicitly. I also think that once Tendou realizes this not even he has the heart to take advantage of it. On the other hand this kindness might be because he's learned Ushijima's response to being bamboozled by his wit is to hit harder and Tendou does not want to see how that translates outside of volleyball.

Thank you for the ask I love any excuse to ramble about these two ☺️☺️ and love the mental image of them hanging out guessing life stories. I bet Tendou is really catty about it and Ushijima has to defend strangers from his best friend's mean judgement even though he doesn't really care it's just on principal.

"dont call strangers a bitch."

"she's wearing hot pink high heels; she's a bitch."

"no."

Thinking about it, I think I knocked out a tidy 5k today!

Wrote a 4k chapter from scratch, which def need a proof read for horniness but is otherwise very good. And the sex scene is done, just needs editing and improving, which is way way easier than writing a sex scene for the first time.

Added a few hundred to three other chapters, ensuring the foreshadowing and emotional beats are okay. There's a lot of confused characters but I've tried to make sure theyre internally consistent. That'll improve with a proof tomorrow as I actually read through it fresh, bit with everything bubbling at once.

In any case! This post was an amazing success! Thank you all for the help! Can't believe I finished this big dick mccoy fic, I really wasn't sure how it was gonna come together while still being its mix of silly and sexy. But while there's one fairly serious chapter, the others get back to the sexiness pretty well. And there's some outrageous silly here and there, which we need

Thank you all. Loved the brokering and promises in the replies, you're all wonderful xx

Make me write!!!!!

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

A Promise Full Filled

Below is an excerpt from my most recent fic:

***CONTAINS WIND AND TRUTH SPOILERS***

It had actually happened. Kaladin wasn't sure if any warping of reality on his part had occurred but Dalinar had done what he had needed to do and the three of them had survived until the end. They had all suffered terrible losses but, tonight, they were choosing to ignore all that because they were fulfilling a promise they had made to one another. At the end. Drinks. Jokes. Laughter.

Currently, the laughter was at Kaladin’s expense. Shallan and Adolin had managed to wheedle out of him the particulars regarding what Szeth had mentioned. Szeth had made astounding progress on their trip to Shinovar, so much so that he and Kaladin had laughed easily and often by the end and Szeth had surprised both Shallan and Adolin by interacting with them comfortably when they had returned. Perhaps a little too comfortably. To Kaladin’s chagrin, Szeth had told them that Kaladin had been unable to best the Shin architecture. Szeth had refused to elaborate further and Kaladin had had also refused to give a full account at the time, citing a need to see his family. But, today, there was no diverting them so Kaladin had to explain in painstaking detail, while Shallan howled with laughter, what Szeth had meant.

“The Shin are much shorter people than the Alethi so there were a lot of doorframes, cultivated trees, and even ceilings that would not accommodate the stature of a normal-sized person—"

“An Alethi giant you mean.” Shallan corrected, as she craned her neck in an unnecessarily exaggerated manner to eye him pointedly.

“Fine. Someone of normal Alethi height.” Kaladin conceded.

“You’re tall, even for an Alethi, Kal.” Adolin asserted, appraising him with a slight smile and a lingering look that had Kaladin feeling...on edge. He was not that tall. For an Alethi. He was only a few inches taller than Adolin. 

“So what did you do?" Shallan asked, her eyes glittering expectantly. "Try to punch and stab your way through doorways or…” 

He wished that were the truth.

“No, um, many times I didn’t notice until—"

“Stormfather! You walked into everything, didn’t you?” She asked with excited incredulity.

Kaladin pressed his lips to a line. He had not walked into everything. But she was right, it had happened. And more than he would have liked. She seemed to guess her aspersion was at least partially correct and he could see the joy in her expression ramping up as he replied.

“Well not everything but there were a few times I—"

Kaladin didn’t get to finish, Shallan erupted with a shrill scream of unbridled glee and Adolin’s barking laugh split the air next to him seconds later. 

Sure, Kaladin felt a little embarrassed about how many inanimate objects his face had unexpectedly encountered but he had promised, drinks, jokes, laughter, and he was certainly delivering on the last part. Kaladin found himself chuckling too, after a fashion, but Shallan was definitely the most affected. It took several moments before Shallan wiped tears of mirth from her eyes and rested her hand lightly on his as her raucous sounds of merriment became a subdued giggle.

Kaladin’s laughter became uneasy and died as he processed several disturbing things at once: the hand Shallan had placed on his was her clothed safehand, the topic of conversation had changed to a distressing one, and the seating arrangement was...disquieting and too close. In short, somehow he had gotten trapped between Shallan and Adolin while they argued about Kaladin's farewell hugs all the while Shallan touched him in an arrestingly inappropriate and intimate manner. In the middle of a very public tavern.

How had this happened? He thought back. Kaladin had been sitting in the middle since they had arrived but he hadn’t given the arrangement much thought since they had started the evening a respectful distance apart from one another and they had been discussing a suitable topic: the strange Shinovarian flora and fauna. Shallan had shown a keen interest and Kaladin, grateful for the distraction from all the needling about Shin architecture, had seized the topic like a pouch of stormlight during an Everstorm. Kaladin had explained how lazy the grass had been, laying about and getting trampled all the time; how there had been these delightful happy animals called ‘dogs’ that acted like axehounds but were soft and squishy with no carapace or mandibles and enjoyed probing your backside with their noses; and how some animals Szeth had called ‘goats’ had been able to Surgebind—Szeth had insisted they did not Surgebind but there was simply no other rational explanation for how they scaled sheer cliffs like that, Kaladin had seen them at it with his own eyes—they had to be using adhesion or gravitation. Szeth was mistaken. Unfortunately, mentioning Szeth had reminded them about the storming architecture again but even those laughs at his expense had been better than this.

“You got two hugs.” Adolin insisted to Shallan.

“I had to initiate the first one though and Kaladin suffered it like a chull bound in a heavy stormwagon yolk. The one he initiated was much shorter than the hug he gave you.”

Somehow as the conversation and alcohol had flowed, the distance between them had shrunk to almost nothing, such that Shallan’s and Adolin’s present and disconcerting tete-a-tete was taking place practically on top of Kaladin. Kaladin was immensely uncomfortable. Why did the hugs he gave them matter and why were they chatting about it with no space for Honor between the three of them? Kaladin was finding it harder and harder to follow the exchange because he was becoming increasingly aware of their proximity to him in several would-be innocuous ways...

Here's a link to the rest of it, if you want to keep reading. Please take care, it is rated EXPLICIT because I cannot keep my hands off the smut when it comes to these three...or in general. You know that part in A Bugs Life with the mosquitoes?

Mosquito 1: Harry, no! Don't look at the light!

Harry: *entranced* I-can't-help-it. It's-so-beautiful. *Harry gets zapped and DIES*

Harry is basically me with smut...wait, there's a When Harry Met Sally reference here...if you want to have what she's having you might like my writing 😂 You've probably heard of a gutter ball. *Jumps up and down* Oh, yes, bowling! I've heard of that! Well, I have a gutter brain. There are balls involved in my gutter brain and many other euphemistic sports accoutrements that I could mention. But I won't. No one wants that. In fact, no one wanted this paragraph at the end, not even me, but I typed it already so...pipe down, I got the conch and... *does best Leonidas impression* THIS—IS—TUMBLR!

(RIP Piggy, sorry about your ass-mar and brutal murder—Roger was a right Piero Manzoni piece of work)

Well, that stream of consciousness was a trip to read in the stark light of day. Someone should take away my keyboard. Alright, shutting the fuck up now...

Also if you're wondering how the hell I'm digging up 10 year old posts from old facebook groups that never got any attention: I'm not very normal about investigating things like this.

blue, white and brown (1980 words)

[ (2/? hierarchy of collapse) | Kaijou/Puppyshipping | @hurtcember 2024 Day 2: Breakdown ]

Summary: Now that he and Seto have parted ways less than amicably, Katsuya is left with the ghosts of blue, white and brown. (Myst's usual brand of hurt-no-comfort Kaijou; potential triggers in ao3)

“Go ta hell, Seto Kaiba!”

The cacophonous banging of erratic fists on wood exhausted.

Katsuya hung his head in the gallows of his wrists; each uneven rasp he drew stilted by the weight of iron buried somewhere in the grave of his chest. With every surge of his veins, he felt the sear of pain burrow deeper into his left eye, coating his vision in a miasma of grey. Was it the void of solitude or the taint of his resentment that filled the darkness he was seated within?

He rolled his neck, imprints of his rage still reverberating in his ears. The cold metal of the chair an uncomfortable anchor for his limp body, limbs distending until they grazed the floor as he gave in to the weight of his own gravity. There, Katsuya sat, unmoving – his inner hurricane encased in the vacuum of Domino’s midnight; dim eyes, unfocussed, at the far wall – wondering if it was the absence of light or his own delusion that made the edges undulate and distort.

How did we end up like this?

The darkness was a kind tormentor: Within its negative space breathed that which was coveted; what the heart wanted, the darkness granted. Ideals and caricatures alike strung to life by determined longing, dancing in the wisps of suggestions in your mind’s shadow. Its stage was built upon your projections – helping shed your armour, creating the suggestion of safety, and catching when your knees buckled in confession; so it could coax inspiration from the deepest alcoves where you thought amnesia had long put what you held most precious to rest.
