the fact that the prague astronomical clock is still around is frankly incredible. it's the third oldest functional clock we have today, and it's got about 75% of its original parts which is honestly bonkers - but it has spent many of its 600+ years in disrepair, and it was in danger of being permanently removed several times. it's only thanks to watchmakers throughout history who have worked very hard to save it and restore it that it still exists, let alone runs. did you know that the town hall it's attached to got set on fire by a grenade in the literal final hours of ww2? the clock fell down and it would've stayed down in the political climate of post-war czech republic, if it hadn't gotten repaired in secret by a pair of watchmaker brothers. and now we still have this cool as hell unique clock! but it's not unique because it was the only one of its kind - it wasn't - but because it's survived for this long...!

[ddodol]

hi lovely.

im really scared because it seems like people are giving and moving on. and I miss seunghan and rii7e so much.

memories era feels like a fever dream and this feels like a waking nightmare.

but I want you to know that-

a lot of random civilians came to show seunghan support at his ad

there were 96 ppl at today's protest

someone was doing their homework at the protest 🤣🤣

public opinion is changing

lots of brii7e are working hard and are trying to work things out

we've been warped by how sm folded in 2 days, but these things take time. it'll all work out. just keep saying rii7e will be back and healthy even of you don't believe it. fake it till you make it.

lets live properly and take breaks and care for ourselves and not stress.

but let's not give up. we can do this. love wins 🩷

im on anon because I'm very embarrassed lmao

hihii, thank you so much lovelyy (´,,•ω•,,)♡

the fact that random civilians are also voicing support for our cause makes me happy :(( i feel like regardless of whatever comes out of this, riize will always be 7 for me. if anything, i'm proud of everything ot7 fans have achieved and the community they created. i don't doubt that the boys know about everything and i can only hope for great news to come.

i hope things would get easier for us and i hope everyone is also doing better than i am <3 and i won't give up, i love the boys way too much to give up on them too easily (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

huge props to marinette for spinning up that lie so fast and on the spot, too. I thought I was good but damn. of course she must have had a general idea of what she was going to say to adrien beforehand going off of gabriel's "make me look good" and her own love telling her that the truth would hurt adrien even more, but that's just a very vague idea. she could not have possibly spun up that entire story of a lie in her head beforehand with all that was going on - dealing with all the truths coming in one after the other, the crying, the emotional trauma, getting the kwamis back -

and of course, there's adrien. he is one of the highest things on her list of priorities, his safety being the first thing she needs to take care of. the problem is, she doesn't know how. the only thing she can do in that situation is lie. a small lie. just one to make it better for now and then she can make it a long-term lie later. make sure no one else finds out.

and once she started telling the lie, once the first words were out of the mouth, it was all improvisation. her next words showed up in her head as she was going, spinning up a believable story, just good enough to be taken as the truth. she rambled - a rookie mistake for liars - but you couldn't blame her. she's a professional liar, almost, with her superhero identity, but this one is different. just one hour after learning the truth she had to cover up all this with no warning beforehand.

she couldn't tell adrien the truth. but she couldn't do much to comfort him either. ladybug couldn't tell him something only marinette knows.

she had to lie. she had to come up with something on the spot. those words would haunt her for the rest of her life - that lie was all she could think about for the next couple of months because she had to make it work. she had to keep the truth and make everything work out. it wasn't a big deal. she just had to tell adrien something, anything that would comfort him! what would comfort him about his father? what would convince him that he was a good guy this whole time? that he was a, a, a hero! yes, she would tell him that. it was a white lie! she wasn't a bad person! she just had to tell adrien that his father was a hero so that he would never have to know the truth and suffer like she did. he was a hero.

was.

once that word came out of her mouth, there was no going back.

you had to be there but when I say Dónal Finn's performance of If It's True this afternoon was the most powerful fucking version of that I've ever goddamn heard I need you to believe me

My daughter just turned 5 and she starts school next week so we've been going over her letters and words and I think there's something to be said about the words that she can read flawlessly so far.

She knows how to read and write her name, my name and her father's. She can recognize a few other odd words here and there but the one sentence she always gets right away and the one she likes to write the most?

"I love you"

i absolutely cannot get over the depths of misery that are reflected in gojo going from "we're the strongest" to "i'm the strongest" especially with the recent manga themes. he lost the one person that was his equal, the only one capable of keeping up with him, of showing him love.

the immense loneliness reflected in that. he was alone all his life until he met geto, too strong, too special to make any connections with others. and then he met geto and he was able to interact with him as a peer, as an equal, and finally have something like a normal human relationship despite his powers. and he lost it.

it's almost worse than him never having been able to find someone to keep up with him in the worst place. he knows what hes missing out on. and he doesn't have the normal people option of moving on, finding someone else - there is no one else. only geto was able to match his pace, meet him on equal ground. and then he lost that and had to kill his only friend, lover, real human connection.

"i'm the strongest" sounds a lot like a brag. but it's the loneliest, saddest truth, admitting that he's at the top. and there's nobody who can reach out and touch him there. not anymore.

Thinking about the esper kids Claw took made me remember an idea I had for a mp100 oc around that subject...really liked the idea of an esper kid who was taken, experimented on, but did eventually manage to escape from Claw--however, deeply struggled with returning to a normal life after their experiences.

Few years pass, WD arc happens, basically all their worst fears confirmed, and that's the breaking point for them to go off act on the urge they've had for a long time now. Ends up throwing themselves into this Revenge Quest to track down and eliminate the members that scattered after Claw fell.

Thinking about Aether teaching Phantom about the space race, and about the animals we sent into space before we sent people.

Phantom would would absolutely sob at Laika's story, relating almost too deeply to her. Abandoned by humanity and cast into a wild dark unknown, all while holding onto hope for so much more. He would go out at nights and sit on the opposite side of the courtyard from Aether, not to disrupt his own prayers to the stars.

Phantom would search the sky each night for Canis Major, before spilling his heart to the stars. The first time he did, he realized why Aether would go out and convene with the great beyond each night. The catharsis, the tears, the ability to share all of you with something far greater. Watching the stars twinkle, as if in response to the cries and pleas you make. The blinking, almost like Morse code, that told you it was all going to be okay. That you had no other choice.

also since i'm on a post fall angst roll today! I personally don't like the interpretations where 1961 Owen straight up believes Curt never loved him/just used him to get compromising information etc, I think, he thought this first, when he was super just angry and disappointed after the fall. But over time (as it's implied he knew how much his "death" hurt Curt) he realized that, yeah Curt loved him, just not as much as Owen thought and not as much as Owen loved him, and that made him more bitter. I just think him being conflicted in the ideas of "maybe I didn't know him that well after all" and him on his high horse of "Curt is a piece if shit, he's predictable, and I will ruin his life easily" is super interesting and also makes me wanna throw up a little. yknow like. god loves you but not enough to save you? yeah.
