#i wanna travel with them so bad:(

[stuckinapril]

Guys my yearning for Iraq is off the rails right now because I’m listening to aunt talk to my uncle on speaker (he’s in Iraq rn) and my heart literally leapt into my throat bc I miss listening to Iraqi so bad and my uncle’s voice is so vintage and just such a bonafide Iraqi dialect and I miss it I’m going crazy I need to be in the streets of the capital listening to people speak in Iraqi and jostle past me I’m going INSANE

[bogkeep]

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

Looking away is so much easier that admitting that I miss you

a new journey...

imagine joining the astral express and befriend everyone. the sleepovers with march 7th and stelle where you'd stay in march's room with an unhealthy amount of snacks and even more drinks reviewing all the photos she ever took and making more in all of your pjs, telling stories and laughing all night long until pompom has to knock on the door to quiet down because 'the other passangers would like to sleep', only to continue what you guys were doing beforehand, only being a tiny-bit quieter for a few minutes before march burts out laughing again followed by everyone else in the room, only to have pompom sigh in defeat and let you guys be. to help danheng sort the files in the archive, cause no matter how good he does it, even he sometimes needs a helping hand in sorting out files and update folders from your most recent journey. to have chats about the upcoming day with himeko with a cup of coffee or tea sitting in the lobby staring out the window sipping on your hot beverage. to be able to ask welt confidentally for information on things you come across in the different planets you visit. to be shocked at how he happens to know just everything that exists in the universe and wonder wheter there is something he doesn't know about.

i'm sorry i just really love their whole family-like nature and the whole game and damn do i wanna live there:(

Apo, Jeff and Tong feat. SEOUL SUBWAY pt. 2

Before taking the subway

Tong: But I like his mask’s color a lot…

Jeff: What is this?

Apo: So, overall is this a Thai person?… how do you Thai?

Jeff: The mask’s color

Apo: because i keep the color coordinations?

Tong: Here they’re normally in black or white

Jeff & Apo: People here mostly keep the monochromatic tone

(Joke on how Thai ppl/tourists like to dress colorfully while locals normally dress in black or white)

Inside the subway

Jeff: Ah, let’s go… it quite suits apo

Apo: Jeff, you’re damn slow the seats are all taken

Tong: He still hasn’t noticed, Jeff, Jeff please tell him, what should we do?

Jeff: Apo

Tong: It’s ok, it’s ok, just keep it quiet first. Pretend we don’t know him and people will get off the next station, and he’ll come sit next to us. I’m in tears. Help me. Lol

Edit:

THAT’S WHAT APO DIDN’T NOTICE:

Rough translation but basically apo was sitting on the seat reserved for pregnant women 😂😂😂

Really random ask but i just thought of something interesting; if the commission exists in Number’s timeline, how would he react if they gave him a job offer?? (before the events of HIT, he has no idea what the commission is)

i just wanna know how number would react to the commission? i imagine he’d consider saying yes for a tour of this Really Cool Time Travel Organization, but at the same time he’d absolutely hate them.

This has been sitting in my inbox for a while (sorry) and it's partly because I'm bad at answering asks and partly because... I never fucking considered this? And it's such a fun and interesting what-if, too! What if Number got recruited by the Commission?

So, the Commission of course exists in Number's timeline - it exists in all timelines - but the canon reason they don't bother Number is 1) apocalypse is still on and 2) when things change enough for his branch to be on their radar, Five is causing them so many problems they don't have resources to divert and fix it and it's a "we'll get to it after we deal with Five" (which they never get a chance to do because Five keeps causing them problems and destroying their resources).

But if the Commission had been smarter, they should have gone to tap Number before he ran into Five again and before they tried blackmailing Five into a contract. It's an obvious solution - they know the kind of stellar work Five can do, and their Five is all jaded and too broken from them leaving him in the apocalypse for too long (oops) to control properly. That's a dud, but maybe this younger version of him is workable - controllable via inexperience rather than destroyed will?

From Number's end, I think he'd be wildly curious and initially interested. Shifting Mirrors Five was a secret agent for years in no small part because he thought it was cool. Time Agent is *even cooler* than secret agent. And he knows about Time! These guys know about Time! He could learn so much! He could be a Time Agent. Before he learned more about it, I think he'd kind of make a plan of "finish my degree with Sarah and then go do this for a bit before coming back and getting my PhD." It's time travel! He doesn't have to miss any time in the real-world, they only want five years, they can't complain that he's putting it off a few months to finish his degree because they can just jump ahead and pick him up then - wins all around.

Where this all falls apart for the Commission is Number has better morals than Five. Five is better at the "a few hundred dead so I can save the world (my family)" rationalization and long game. Number coming in would just be killing people to keep the timeline on its arbitrary track. He doesn't have a "direct" A to B on how this helps him stop the apocalypse (even if the Commission is stringing him along about that). He's pragmatic, he's practical, he fucking hates killing. Any solution that doesn't involve a life being lost, he's going to take it (Marcus only dies by his hand because he misestimated how heavy the dumpster was going to be and didn't have time to recalculate if that was going to be survivable for poor Marcus, he regrets grunts dying in the big living room battle and none are killed by him. In the alternate timeline, Carmichael only dies by his foot because Carmichael just killed Five and Rob and Sarah are in direct danger from him). Number is not going to play their game, is going to look at how they keep the timelines managed and say "that's bullshit".

So you absolutely nailed it - he would absolutely want a tour of the time organization, want to know all about what they're doing and how they do it and think it's so neat --- right up until he learns about Corrections and how their entire operation hinges on incidental murders to keep the timeline neat and orderly to their arbitrary criteria. And then he'd want to destroy them brick by brick.

I should really get my hair cut but i don't feel like going thru the ordeal of finding a hairdresser + i only trust the hairdresser i've been going to since i was like 8 so now i'm just thinking whether i can survive until mid-June or just . Spend a weekend at home.

Three good things:

(i) conversations between dad and his friends make a lot more sense at 25 than they did when I was 10

(ii) being in the same town as one of my best friends (unable to meet S cos I'm w parents but we crossed the same road within five minutes and I had such a rush. Gosh); the town being slow and quaint as opposed to mine which is so flashy and fast paced and insanely expensive while things are so indie movie walk everywhere the tallest building does not exist more trees than cars here

(iii) dal makhani
