This whole "you are 100% responsible for manifesting your own reality" thing sounds empowering on the surface, but it's both victim-blaming and dehumanizing because it implies that other people are effectively NPCs with no agency of their own, and you are somehow responsible for their behavior no matter what.

It's toxic individualism at its finest.

Left Behind AU Incorrect Quotes Part 2 (Because I have way too much fun with these and they help me gather my thoughts on dynamics.)

Valkyrie, to Dexter: My life is in the hands of an idiot! Dexter, motioning to himself and Saracen: No no no no no, TWO idiots!

Valkyrie: Dexter, keep an eye on Saracen today. They're going to say something to the wrong person and get punched. Dexter: Sure, I’d love to see Saracen get punched. Valkyrie: Try again. Dexter, sighing: I will stop Saracen from getting punched.

Saracen, trying to adopt Valkyrie: Would you like to stay for dinner? Dexter: WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY FOREVER?

Valkyrie, in a high voice, holding barbie: hey ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career! Dexter, in a deep voice, holding ken: nonsense, barbie. you’re staying home and having my kids Saracen: what the fuck are you guys doing? Valkyrie: playing systemic oppression

Valkyrie: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life Dexter: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind? Valkyrie: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die. Saracen: edible

Valkyrie: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast? Dexter: Several traffic violations. Saracen: Three counts of resisting arrest. Tanith: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks. Gordon: Also, that’s not our car.

Valkyrie, trying to convince Gordon to join the group: You know... I thought it'd be good to have someone come along who's really... strong! Dexter: And loud! Saracen: And grumpy! Tanith: And oblivious to reality! Gordon:

Valkyrie: I’ve done a lot of dumb stuff. Dexter: I witnessed the dumb stuff. Saracen: I recorded the dumb stuff. Tanith: I joined in on the dumb stuff. Gordon: I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THE DUMB STUFF!!!

Valkyrie: You kidnapped Dexter? That’s illegal! Saracen: But Valkyrie, what’s more illegal? Briefly inconveniencing Dexter, or destroying our dreams? Valkyrie: Kidnapping Dexter, Saracen!!! Tanith: Valkyrie, listen, whatever I may think of you right now- these guys are counting on you to inspire them! Valkyrie: What, to kidnap people?!?! Tanith: To work together! Valkyrie: TO KIDNAP PEOPLE?!?!?!?! Gordon: Valkyrie, we all agreed a celebrity is a not a people.

Valkyrie: Bye Dexter! Bye Saracen! Bye Tanith! Bye Gordon! Bye Dexter! Saracen: You said ‘bye Dexter’ twice. Valkyrie: I like Dexter.

Valkyrie: What did you guys get in your yearbook? Dexter: 'Prettiest Smile' Saracen: 'Nicest Personality' Tanith: 'Most likely to start a bar fight' Gordon: 'Least likely to start a bar fight, but most likely to win one'

Valkyrie: Good morning. Dexter: Good morning. Saracen: Good morning. Tanith: You all sound like robots, try spicing it up a bit. Gordon: MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS

Valkyrie: What’s something you guys are better than Dexter at? Saracen: Mario Kart. Tanith: Yeah, video games. Gordon: Emotional vulnerability.

Valkyrie: Bridge the generation gap by combining old and new slang into one! Dexter: Tubular AF! Saracen: Mood to the max! Tanith, annoyed: Groovy, I hate it. Gordon, just as annoyed: If she breathes, she’s a square.

Valkyrie: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me? Dexter: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it. Valkyrie: Three of us saw it, Dexter. How do you explain that? Dexter: *points at Saracen* Sleep deprivation. *points at Tanith* Paranoia. *points at Gordon* Delusional personality disorder.

Valkyrie: Good responses for being stabbed with a knife? Dexter: Rude. Saracen: That’s fair. Tanith: Not again. Gordon: Are you going to want this back?

Valkyrie: Go to Hell Skulduggery, tearing up: I wish I could

Valkyrie: This is such a bad idea. Skulduggery: Then why are you coming along? Valkyrie: One of us need to be able to talk the cops out of arresting us when this inevitably goes wrong.

Valkyrie: They don't make them like me no more. I'm the last of my kind. Skulduggery: Thank god.

Valkyrie: There is no future. There is no past. Don't you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every fact. Skulduggery: …All I asked was if you wanted to cut your birthday cake first.

Really not looking forward to potentially explaining to someone that I am Explicitly Not Interested in them in any way, shape, or form, and I will consider it a heinous violation if they even attempt to interact with me in a physical manner at an upcoming event and I'm certainly not going to be fucking babysitting them if they go off and have a bloody self-inflicted drug mania episode during it, either...

HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN THE CASINO, CUPID!???

bedtime

context: neither kin or royce can sleep anymore unless dredge is there with them. i’ll put why in tags. also see asterisks

“Dredge? Dredge, th’ fuck are you?” Royce kept poking around his normal spots that were not with them for a moment. Her shoulders slouched and she rubbed her eyes, glasses raising up, in annoyance. It’s been around 2-3 years with this routine. To be fair, his brain issues kinda get in the way, but normally someone would have rounded him up to Royce and Kin. 10 pm.

“DREDGE-”

“I’M HERE what huh?” Dredge shook out of whatever the hell trance he was in. “Wh’shappen the hell you yellin for??”

Royce crossed her arms a bit and leaned against the wall with a look.

“...Oh it’s time for bed. Yeah, right, got it, up, getting up, g’n up,” Dredge hoisted himself up a bit and shook off whatever stiffness he just had going on by... sitting there in the dark by himself.

Royce stood up straight and looked at him funny. He did weird stuff all the time, yeah, but it doesn’t ever make it any less confusing to come across.

“Why the hell were you sitting alone in the dark?”

“...I didn’t know I was doing that until you told me.”

With a sigh she ran her fingers through Dredges hair. Everyone knew that Dredge sometimes dissociated into fairly bad places, mentally.

“You go somewhere bad, then?”

“No, not this time.” Dredge looked at his claws and did grabby motions (not at anyone). “Just sort of...nowhere.”

“Ohthankfuck- Mm, good,” Royce coughed out a bit to try and cover up her kneejerk reaction. Dredge just looked up at her with the same affectionate look mixed with.. something else, he always does. Kinda saying ‘Yeah, I know’ about him not going into a dark place, as well.

The two made it to their shared bedroom with Kin, who was bouncing all over the bed until she saw they were there. “HEY GUYAYSHDFG-” She fell off the bed with a thud.

“M’OKAY!” Kin scrambled up onto the bed and nearly vibrated the whole time Dredge changed, and took his mask off, all but tackling him onto the mattress and kissing him basically all over his face. Dredge just accepted this... it happens constantly.

“Ey, hey, me?” Royce laughed as Kin proceeded to nearly tackle her girlfriend too, giving her the same treatment. Kins tail wagging a mile a minute.

“Gay.” Dredge cracked his back a bit and flomped down. “Royce, you need a venom hit*?)”

“Yes, please. My arms hurt the most today.”

Dredge handed it over, and Royce immediately laid down and sighed out a thanks. Kin just kinda watched with her cheek on the bed

“...C’ we go to bed now, plea..” Royce slurred, already basically passed out from the effects of Dredges venom. She fumbled for one of his arms to wrap around her.* “Mhmnnh..” She was out like a light.

Dredge rolled his eyes a little and took her glasses off, putting them on the nightstand. “Feel like I save her glasses from being broken by being slept on... constantly.”

“...Uh, am I going cool or warm* tonight.” Dredge asked Kin, since she was the only other one of ‘em awake.

“OOH uh warm, please!” With a little laugh she nuzzled her face up on his cheek. “You smell weird.”

“Probably because I’m sweaty..kinda.”

“Not a bad weird, whatever, dude. I love you, Dredge.” Kin mushed her face against the side of his.

“Love you too. ...And also Royce.” (Who already started snoring.)

Kin got as close as she could and dozed off; tugging his other arm until he put that one on her too.

They all always sleep like that.

NOOOOOOOOOO THEY FUCKING GOT ME

[luxeberries]

okay im gonna shut up now but last thing for tonight. i genuinely didnt know how well s3 would be from the trailers and im just very pleasantly surprised. i had a genuinely great time watching and the character's relationships and individual plotlines were just very well done, especially our boy jaskiers, and i loved pretty much every moment of the first part of this season. i have good feelings about vol 2 and i genuinely cant wait to watch it
