God now I just want to write a Part 2 to my Valerie Makes Danny Lift A Single Weight fic (literally just the bar though because he's too weak to put any plates on) only this time Dash sees them working out together and takes it as invitation to launch into a 30 minute dissertation to Danny about the importance of hypertrophy and the best shakers to mix your preworkout in and the differences between doing a PPL split vs a Bro split when building a routine and meanwhile Danny's literally just like Dying

me: I have a job interview with a coding test on monday, I should do some coding exercises online to practice until then, it'll be a chore to revise but it'll be worth it 😤

me, now, 3 kyu level ups deep into python practice on codewars, forgetting to eat or attend appointments on time: oh no I forgot this is a fun puzzle game to sink infinite time into to my math brain

I am so tired of game companies forgetting that console players exist.

Read a Galex fever hurt/comfort fic, thought of hearts beating faster when being sick, and then somehow happened to write this short something in my Little Max AU. Bon appétit. Ao3 link.

-

“Maxy's heart is fast,” little Max mumbles barely audible as he presses Daniel's hand on his chest. He's tired and cold and his heart is thumping faster and stronger than usual and it doesn't let him sleep.

“It is, baby,” Daniel says when he feels the heartbeat and the warmth beneath his palm. “Your body is working hard to fight the bad bad illness that makes Maxy feel tired and cold and sad.” 

Daniel hates seeing Max sick, especially when he's little. He wants him to be happy and energetic but he knows it can't always be like that so he tries his best to provide as much comfort as possible while closely monitoring him. Having a fever is never a pleasant thing but seeing his little suffering from it breaks Daniel's heart. He wishes he could heal Max immediately but he can only hope that the medicine he'd given him will take effect soon. 

“Will Maxy be okay?”

“He will,” Daniel nods, caressing little Max's cheek with his free hand. “He just has to try and sleep a bit and hopefully after that, he will be okay again.”

“Promise?”

“I promise, baby. Daddy will do everything to make you feel better.”

“Will Maxy's heart be okay, too? And slow down again?”

“Of course, it will,” Daniel reassures him immediately, “Maxy's got a strong and healthy heart.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, the strongest and healthiest.”

the readers group guide at the end of the wicked years finishing with this question is so . can you lay the hell off her

forgive me if this is too serious for an anon ask.. feel free to ignore it..

but this week shook me in ways i didnt see coming. i wasnt a one direction fan growing up.. tbh im still not, i listen to only a few songs. im same age as louis. so, i found one direction through him.

i have great affection for all of the boys though. and even in my short time in fandom, i've always been surprised and saddened by the bullying liam has gotten.. he just always seemed like a good person with really poor communication skills. to understand his point, you had to give him some space and context.

but this year has been a constant worried watch over liam. it was so plain things were desperate.

stan twitter got to me so bad that i left twitter the day louis' tour ended. so i was very peripherally aware of his recent harassment, but i did worry.

and now the unimaginable has happened, i am just at loss. not just in the sense of how to make sense of this loss, but also the complete lack of empathy for him still? even for other boys' fans.?? after they've seen how all of the boys' are hurting?

and just in the bigger picture.. how is this real? what loving god/higher power/whatver has allowed this to be the state of the world? he was so kind, so generous, just a boy. JUST A BOY. just trying to find a place to fit and feel safe. why was he dealt such cruelty? just while he was pursuing something he loved? something he was gifted with? in life and in death?

im just at loss. heartbreak doesnt even begin to cover it.

for me I've felt it was a constant worried watch over Liam for many years now, but other than that, yeah. It's hard to feel hope or faith in the face of so much senseless cruelty and pointless loss; all I can say is I would hope the millions of people who are shocked and saddened by this take away something lasting both about the fact that there are real people on the other side of the computer screen and cruelty has a real impact, and that addiction can afflict anyone. Nothing can make this other than tragic and regrettable forever; but I would love to see the amazing power of fandom mobilized to support programs for addicts and to fight stereotyping and dismissing of people who use drugs in Liam's name. To see people use this as a realization to really understand that it wasn't strange or exceptional that someone talented and worthwhile could succumb to addiction and ultimately die of it, but rather a plague that our society is allowing to run unchecked because of stigma. IDK, maybe I'm just grasping at straws trying to find something remotely positive that could come out of this situation but what else can you do? It's just so sad.

so...John’s planning on pulling the plug on the world, right? Like that’s what he’s doing here?

I’ve just been turning these bits of ntn over and over in my head and tbh I can’t stop thinking about the description of 10,000 years of civilization as a first draft. John’s first resurrection didn’t quite end up how he wanted -- closest friends all dead, turned traitor, or both, fighting a war on multiple fronts, his only allies the corpse of his accidental bastard daughter and a twenty-something princess with cannibalistic tendencies whom he canonized as part of a failed attempt to revitalize his polycule-- but hey, it doesn’t matter, because he can just start over. All of NTN he’s in this depression spiral; he’s falling apart, he’s having orgy parties with his senior staff, he’s got at least part of his subconscious camped out in the comatose mind of a half-dead nineteen year old he tried to have murdered, treating it like a confessional booth; because right there, in the background of his mind through all of this, is the off switch. He can have his breakdown, and then just...let Alecto out. Erase it all, start fresh, and this time he’s got one attempt under his belt, he’s got notes for what to do differently, and so let it all fall to shit! Nobody else is gonna remember any of this anyway. Two worlds, now, that only John will remember. Maybe three, later; maybe four, what’s to stop him from redoing it over and over til it’s just right? 

The issue with that, of course, is there’s really no way to treat the world like this and still care about it in the way other people do. You’d lose your ability to be affected by life’s events after a couple reboots and then what’s there to get emotionally invested in? When you’ve turned a person off and back on two, three, four times and you know you’ll probably do it again the next time something happens you don’t quite vibe with, how can you possibly look at them as a real person? Are they a real person, if they only know what you want them to know and do what you want them to do? And once you reach that point, once people aren’t people but project components for you to edit, what are you even bothering with all this for?? John started down this path because he so loved the world; what happens when he reduces the world to something he can no longer afford to love? Might as well pull that plug for good, yeah? 

Anyway. I’m fascinated by the way John’s shitty mental state is dooming the world and it’s everyone else’s bad luck. The rest of the cast is out there fighting for their lives and he’s like *sigh* let’s try that again. take two, everyone!
