#it's literally not working because Everyone Is Ignoring Me :)))

[theotherbuckley]

🦵🦵🦵🦵🦵

Once again, ignore that this took several months, but here's some angst. I'm still not entirely happy with it... but here you go <3

“You want something to drink?” he asks once they’ve made their way into the loft. He quite honestly wants to just get into bed and fall asleep, or maybe have a shower first. He probably stinks. Should he put some deodorant on?

Across from him, Tommy raises an eyebrow. “Should you be drinking?” he asks. And there’s nothing really wrong with what he says, but Buck doesn’t really like the way he sounds like he knows better. 

“So what? My blood will be extra thin, I’ll be even less susceptible to clots,” he tries to joke, but it falls flat.

“You know that’s not the way it works.”

“Fine.” Buck huffs, closing the fridge. “But there’s nothing stopping you from having a drink.” He’s just being a good host, what’s wrong with that?

“You know I’m not going to do that.” Tommy looks at him concerned. His eyebrows are furrowed, and he’s looking at him with big, sad eyes, and he suddenly hates it. 

“I— I don’t like the way you’re looking at me like I’m gonna break. Like I’m broken. I’m fine. I’m in good health. I’m strong enough to be a firefighter— I passed.” He hates how he always feels like he has to defend himself. Hates how, as soon as he feels threatened, his body decides to betray him and brings his emotions right to the surface for everyone to see. 

Tommy doesn’t even react to his short outburst. “Bobby told me that you decided to quit.”

And that— Tommy didn’t speak to him, but he spoke to his captain? Sure, Tommy felt guilty; they discussed that literally five minutes ago, but how does Bobby factor into this? “What? You’re talking to my captain now? Behind my back?”

“I was just thanking him for having us over, I wasn't trying to intrude—”

“I’m a firefighter, that’s who I am. If they won’t let me, then I’m not going to stick around. I can’t.” He can’t. He’s struggled enough in the last few months as it is. He’s not sure he can handle being on the sidelines, watching his family do the job he’s supposed to be doing, whilst what? Filling out forms? Buck’s never been much of a writer. 

“Light duty wouldn’t be the end of your life, Evan.”

“Being a firefighter is my life.” His family are all firefighters. His sister is a 911 dispatcher who’s dating a firefighter. His entire world revolves around firefighting. 

Before being a firefighter, Buck spent five years trying every other job there is. And they didn’t stick, because there’s only one thing for him. Buck wouldn’t be Buck if it weren’t for firefighting. 

“It’s the only thing I’ve done that matters. Without it… I’m nothing.” He’s not saying it for pity, it’s just the truth. 

Tommy lets out a breath. “Nobody cares if you’re a firefighter.”

“I care!” Buck hates the way his voice breaks, hates how his vision blurs with tears that he can’t hold back. “I thought— I thought you’d understand. You said flying was… I thought you’d understand.”

Tommy was the one who said that flying was everything to him. Breathing fresh air. So why can’t he understand that firefighting is just as important to him?

“That’s not what I—”

“No. I don’t— I can’t— I think you should leave.”

“Evan…”

“Please.” It’s barely a whisper.

Tommy closes the door on this way out.

[tangents-within-tangents]

I think what bothers me the most about people doing this is that I always see them say something about how Saw "unnecessarily blew up the base" that it was "entirely useless" and he was just "stubborn" and "couldn't see the bigger picture"

And like 1, WE have the dramatic irony of knowing that Tarkin and Krennic are going to survive bc we saw the other movies, Saw did not. 2, It wouldn't have been "useless" and "unnecessary" if his plan had succeeded, and he obviously didn't know it wouldn't succeed.

Rewatched the scenes recently (bc I got in a fight about this on pinterest of all places lolll), and there's a very important detail people always ignore:

The Batch being there messed up Saw's plan too. They both didn't know the other would have a mission there at the same time and both missions suffered for it. The Batch maybe could have gotten away with the disturbance in the hangar, and Saw's team could have gotten away with hacking the cameras, but both together drew too much attention and the Imperials discovered them. (which, side note: makes me think back to episode 1, when Hunter tells Saw you can't defeat the Empire and Saw says "not alone we can't." like maybe if they had been working together with the rebel groups they could have better coordinated their efforts)

Saw had no reason to give up his mission, that he surely planned and worked for for weeks, with just half a minute of talking with some guys he ran into. Why should he give up his mission that was equally important to his cause anymore than they should give up theirs? Also why is this fandom acting like trying to kill Tarkin is a bad thing??? Hello??

Saw: Taking out several of their top commanders is a good start. Tech: Well, that victory will be short-lived as their ranks will quickly be replenished.

I just really don't think this is true. Tarkin is a big player, like 3rd in command after the Emperor and Vader, I don't think that taking him out of the picture would be useless. Think of how much work and sacrifice went into assassinating Reinhard Heydrich during WW2. Or how taking out Dooku and Grievous was a major factor in ending the Clone War. Rogue One also shows that Krennic is the main reason the Death Star even happened, bc he championed the project and brought Galen Erso back to the Empire. And if Hemlock had died then? Yeah the clones would need to find another way to find Tantiss base (which they end up doing later), but Omega never would have been captured (something else people like to blame on Saw). And if Hemlock dying at the end of s3 is what leads to Tantiss and Project Necromancer being abandoned and Omega finally being safe, I think it's safe to say that the ranks wouldn't just be replenished without any significant impact.

Taking out major leaders is a valid strategy, especially if a bunch of them are in one place. Like literally if Saw's plan had succeeded maybe the war could have been cut in half with one attack. That is the definition of the bigger picture! Yet bc Tech the oh so smart guy said one thing about it being short-sighted (in typical bad batch 'fighting the Empire is futile' fashion) everyone agrees that it was for nothing. Like honestly with all this in mind the Batch are really the ones who should have given up their mission for Saw's. And saying it was useless just because his plan didn't work out is like saying something like Operation Valkyrie was useless because it failed.

And again, it didn't work out because the Batch being there interfered. So basically, if yall are gonna blame Saw for Tech's death, then by that same logic you should blame the Batch for the Death Star and Alderaan.

Also, I think it's kinda messed up that they gave Saw this line "sacrifices have to be made for the greater good" as if it is radical, dismissive, and selfish (or at least that is how I always see people twist it), a year after Andor s1 came out which showed a Saw who clearly understands and feels the weight of those sacrifices.

For those who didn't know fans have been blaming Saw, it's been happening since that episode aired but Generation Tech did so in a recent video and you'll see plenty of this annoying sentiment in the comments. Literally saying "Saw KILLED Tech" and never mentioning Tarkin who had the car shot off the track. (They do it so violently too, I've seen stuff like "get your pitchforks" and "he must be drawn and quartered" and even "I bought an action figure of him just to torture him" like babe get a life and it's not his freaking fault!!)

I think what pushed me over the edge is seeing some people say "if only the Batch had followed orders and killed Saw in the first episode then Tech would still be alive"

like

I hope they were just joking bc um WTF??

"If only they had FOLLOWED ORDERS"???? You mean Tarkin's orders to literally kill civilians and CHILDREN?!? The orders that pushed them to leave the Empire, arguably the only moral decision the Batch (minus Echo and Omega) ever made in regards to the Empire?? Those orders!?

I'm so uncomfortable with fans blaming Saw for Tech's death, when arguably there were so many other factors. Saw isn't wrong for deciding to stage an attack when all of Imperial High Command was in one place.

I think it's unfortunate that Tech died, but with the way Bad Batch fans talk about Saw you'd think he was being malicious towards Tech in the first place. Mind you, he warned them, and didn't immediately blow the place up.

There's more smoke for Saw than there is for Tarkin or even Hemlock, in that scene. Wasn't Tarkin the one who sent reinforcements that contributed to Tech having to sacrafice himself? Even if Saw didn't blow the place up, they would have been cutting it incredibly close.

I think another layer is they wouldn't even be there if it weren't for Crosshair working with the Empire to begin with.

Idk why but whenever there are ample examples of other people besides Saw who contributed to Tech's death (namely, you know, the Empire), the blame is unfairly placed on Saw.

And if you want to say what Saw does doesn't do anything on the Grand Scheme of things, then fair. But same with Rex and his clone revolution. Regardless though, they are still acts that manage to negatively impact the Empire, no matter how small.

It's not Saw's fault Tech died. It's Tarkin's. It's the Empire's.

Varian headcannons

He/they baddie

Has lots of burn scars from experiments

Has scars on his wrists from handcuffs. For this reason he never takes off his gloves unless he's alone or with someone he trusts.

Trust issues. This kid was ignored by pretty much everyone when he needed them most, it's gotta have an effect on his ability to have healthy relationships (they say, almost like they're not speaking from experience)

Angry and Catalina were the first friends he had that were vaguely around his age. The vat7k gang (- yong) were the first friends he had actually within a year of his age (I hc angry as 12 and catalina as 14 in season 3. the vat7k gangs ages are again my personal hcs: Nuru as 17, Hugo as 19 and Yong as 15).

Used to love the snow and rain and winter because it meant hot cocoa and time with his dad. The blizzard ruined a lot of things for him, including the snow.

Sensory issues galore (no I'm not projecting wdym)

Sh scars BC boy hates himself for everything he's done and blames himself for everything that went wrong

Whipping scars from prison. Again based off a HC of mine where they put him in maximum security and treated him like a regular major prisoner (including fun perks like interrogation, torture, starvation and whipping) until his old cellmate attacked him pretty badly so they threw him into the cell with Andrew. (Which was no better. Seriously which fricking ass had the oh so intelligent brainwave to put him in with Andrew. That's why I created this HC to at least try to give it a rational explanation)

Frostbite scars. You're telling me that a kid in a winter coat travelling the carriage worthy distance from old Corona to the castle through a blizzard literally described as a divine death trap TWICE made it out unscathed? No way!

Looks perpetually like a 12 yer old, much to his annoyance and to the amusement of Eugene.

Autism and ADHD. Look at him. Just look. Especially at the beginning of that episode where he gets kidnapped.

Also: PTSD, anxiety, depression, and BPD. Yes I'm projecting but also. Varians anxiety is pretty much canon ATP. You can see it in most of his episodes pre and post villain arc. PTSD because even in be very afraid, which happens around 2 years after his dad was trapped in amber, he is still very affected by it. Depression and low self esteem, he's miserable about everything that's happened and that's kind of ruined his life and he hates himself for it. Little canon evidence but feels right. BPD- much of Varians character, especially early on, is built around seeking affirmation. When he is repeatedly denied it, his emotions overcome him and he can't hold it anymore and breaks down. Also I see him as very emotional and logical at the same time so he has mood swings out of his control and is horrified at himself because he knows they aren't rational but he can't control them. Totally not projecting. Again not much canon evidence but great for angst and projecting purposes.

Since I'm projecting here I might as well project my artstyle on him. Sketchy, done with a pen or pencil and one random colour on the back of pretty much anything. Actually pays attention to lighting and tone on the rare occasion it is required. Very good at making random scribbles look like a perfect replica of something he's seen before. Good for scientific drawing and sketches. Terrible for fully finished works. Unlike me he is very good at art and makes my weird artstyle look good.

POTS. No real reason, just I can make characters physically disabled in headcannons and I want to use that power. Also varigo fluff potential.

Reads too much

Chronic loneliness from having no one to talk to (I'm projecting too fcking much and I know it)

Insomniac and won't admit it. Has passed out plentiful times in his lab and the most random places ever from pure exhaustion. This got worse during the villain arc because Quirin wasn't there to drag his sleepy ass to bed. Hugo worries.a (no it isn't an ungodly hour in the morning when I'm typing this wdym).

Reconnects with Cass post canon.

Has nightmares about his dad, sots, prison or Andrew regularly and needs either his dad, Eugene and later Hugo to stay with him after.

Has a serious sense of ✨style✨

Biromantic and asexual. He does not escape my giant aspec ray.

Begged his dad for weeks to let him keep ruddiger, who wandered into his lab one day and soon enough became his "assistant". Quirin was rather displeased (DW he came around eventually guys).

We all know that Varian loves animals, but did you know that animals love Varian?

Very picky eater who has a bunch of allergies and often forgets to eat (y am I projecting sm here chat).

Very good at lying and manipulating and scheming, as seen in his villain arc, but his emotions and guilt and empathy get in the way most of the time. As he should tell Hugo in my hcs, "just because I can doesn't mean I enjoy doing it". (HC: Hugo knows Varian has some sort of criminal past but he doesn't know that he was his gay awakening, the alchemist).

Makes annoying household inventions.

sassy and overdramatic

Issues with authority

Shares some rather radical opinions with Hugo and Cass

Frustrated at Cass walking away scott free whilst he was stuck in prison for a year

Bottles up anger until it explodes at the worst possible moment

is NOT innocent.

Intense fear of disappointing people, especially those who wouldn't have a negative reaction, since "that just makes it worse".

Idealist that kept getting more and more frustrated and disillusioned over time.

There are more but this post is long enough as it is. Almost all of these are me projecting on Varian.

What are some of your Varian headcannons? I'd love to know. :)

seveneveral sentencesparagraphs sunday

tagged by @irregularcollapse !! :') i am so excited for more tenny and cyberpunk

here's some wild west au even though i literally just said it's on pause until the fall time after i actually go work with horses (not for fic research i'm not that crazy), just bc i already sent a bit of it to @swifty-fox today. long chunk since you'll all forget it by the time it actually sees the light of day <3

“That man’s somethin’ else.”

 Gale had been sitting on the chopping block, some ways off from the round pen, watching even though he shouldn't have been, when Alexander meandered over. Glancing up, Gale found him watching John too, a look that couldn't be mistaken for anything but respect and admiration. Gotdamn, Gale thought, even Alexander.

“Yeah,” Gale agreed reluctantly.

“You don't like him.”

“I never said that.”

“You don't got to say it. I can see it.”

 Gale shook his head. When they'd first met, Gale had felt that familiar kind of sickness for Alexander. A nagging kind of flutter in Gale’s blood. But he’d learned to ignore it until it went away, just like all the other times. A hope he still held out for with John, only two weeks into knowing the bastard.

“So what's so wrong with ‘im? All I see is a cowboy to the manner born,” Alexander said, teasing almost like Gale was a fool for not tumbling ass over front for the man like everyone else did.

 That, Gale had to think about. Not because there weren't a hundred reasons off the top of his head what's so wrong with John, but because having to say them out loud made him feel suddenly like a dunderhead. A kid who was mad just to be mad. All told, Gale should like John. He worked hard, he was nice enough to his men, and by god if he didn’t know how to work a horse.

 It must have been an hour that John had been in the pen with that Appaloosa. Gale had given it to him on a whim, maybe something childish in him wanting to give John a difficult animal in hopes he’d fail. It was selfish. Wouldn’t help John or the horse if he couldn’t make progress enough to get the horse range ready. But he’d been making fast work anyhow. Right now, they were doing some kind of little dance Gale had seen John do. The Appaloosa was bridled already, put up with it enough, and John was mostly just standing there staring at him. He’d wait for the horse to move, swing his neck over or take a step, and John would walk him in a tight circle, or push him back, tucking his neck down with the bridle, and they’d start all over again. It was strange, and gentle, and John hadn’t used anything but his hands and rope the whole time.

“I don’t like the way he talks to me,” Gale offered, finally.

John murmured something to the horse, smiled like he’d understand.

“What, cause he calls you Buck?”

 Was John calling him Buck even when he wasn’t around? Were his men starting to think of him as Buck, too? Calling him the name Bucky gave him? Gale caught the grimace on his face and put it away. John let the horse inch his neck closer, closer, ears sliding back, and then a threshold, some line was crossed, and John walked him in another circle.

“Part of it. No man should be calling his boss lil nicknames like that.”

 Alexander laughed. “Boss? Since when you call yourself boss around here?”

 Heat bloomed across Gale’s neck. He hadn’t thought of himself as the boss until John was involved. Even now, he didn’t feel like anyone’s boss but John’s. And John didn’t even care.

“It’s different with him. I already know you boys. He shows up, some guy I didn’t even pick, and acts like he doesn’t answer to anyone.”

 More laughing, this time a little softer, like Alexander was pitying Gale or something. “Is that why you’re mad? Old man Cleven chose some out of town cowboy without asking you first and you’re upset about it? Bucky listens just fine, and you know it.”

 But he didn’t listen just fine. He was still calling Gale Buck, still acting friendly with him when Gale kept giving him every reason not to. He watched John take a step toward the horse, and the horse take a step back, and John rub at his neck in reward. The heat crept up to Gale’s ears and cheeks, prompting him to stand.

[imagineastrology]

What no one tells you about studying Astrology…

It can get overwhelming QUICKLY. You have to pace yourself and bring it right down to basics, I have still have reference sheets from 2018 that I still use to this day. When it becomes overwhelming it can feel frustrating as to understand one aspect of astrology, you need to learn another etc. 

2) People goofing or mocking you, it could be people you know, or if you have just met them - they will happily share their opinions about how Astrology is spurious, a pseudoscience, or that it takes advantage of people when they are most vulnerable. It used to really, really, REALLY irritate and enrage me because they hadn’t studied it, and were not open-minded enough. I have to say, it can hurt when someone who doesn’t even know the definition of Astrology, tells you that it is meaningless. But overtime, I simply say: “There are a lot of myths around Astrology, I just use it as a therapeutic tool, and focus on free-will and the healing capabilities it can have - if you choose to use it that way.” - Then, I move on. I now focus on people who are curious about it. People are on their own path, and as an astrologer, you don’t need to prove to people anything - but it is easier said than done when someone says something so ignorant.

3) ‘The Astrologer’s Curse’ is a theory that once you learn Astrology, it can be inescapable. In the sense that you assume everything a human says or does can be related back to their natal chart or transits. If you are not aware of this, it can be very limiting in a way that you are putting your full trust in an ‘ambiguous force’ that is the Universe, and not being open-minded to other reasonings, or using your free-will. Also, it can be restrictive as you begin to live your life according to what astrology says in the literal sense - For example, not going on that short trip to Paris because Mercury is in Retrograde, or not dating someone because they’re a Gemini Moon in the 11th House.

4) Learning to be discerning over charlatans that use Astrology to scaremonger people. There are charlatans in every field, but once you understand that astrology is not supposed to scare or shame people, or even, in my opinion, tell them what to do or how to live their life, you begin to realise there are SO many misconceptions some ‘astrologers’ spew out on the internet or horoscope columns. 

5) Understanding that every astrologer approaches their work with different perspectives on how to interpret a chart - this is something that has taken me years to actually understand, and that not to become confused when information I hear from one astrologer, contradicts another piece of information I have heard. This is why when you are looking for an astrologer to read your chart, you must research their background, their experience, what perspectives they’re writing from. Even their qualifications - do they a diploma in Astrology? (I don’t have one yet give me time hehe). Everyone has a subconscious bias, and you could easily be reading something that has one or multiple underlying themes, ESPECIALLY if you’re new to Astrology.

6) My final point is the broad field of study astrology can offer you. I have really just focused on Psychological, Natal Chart, Synastry/Composite, and Locational Astrology - there are so many other fields to study, such as Mundane, Financial, Horary, Electional, Vedic, Medical and Karmic Astrology. It can feel quite intimidating so I just take it one step at a time. I try to view my feelings of intimidation as a chance to see that the gift of astrology can offer us so many alternate perspectives and ideas on how the celestial bodies affect our moods, behaviours, plans, and everything else under the sun! 

I’m curious to know what your thoughts are about studying Astrology. How do you manage these? Let’s start a discussion because I feel this is something that is not spoken about enough!

its now 11/12 in my game and im gambling like crazy in the palace and im here with goro akechi kills people theory: round 2

- so in his and joker's duel, the gun he uses definitely isn't the same one he uses normally. it appears more similar to the gun the man behind the slaughter used to shoot okumura (with his left hand and everything yk yk its all connected)

- as early on as the arcade he was joking about "taking joker out" (🤨🏳️‍🌈) which is exactly whats going on now with the duel and glove and all that. i think that means he's been planning to kill me (joker) for a long time, which makes sense with him lying about when he first went to the metaverse.

- so the biggest problem with this theory is that obviously the guy's mask isnt black like madarame said back in the day. i dont have a very good explanation aside from "ignore that part and it works", but i will mention it so everyone knows i didnt forget that. im also aware that when shooting okumura and in akechi's flashback the killer seems to have a vastly different outfit from akechi. my only defenses are again "go away dont ruin my theory" and also the phantom thieves can change outfits in the metaverse all the time.

- i just thought of something so MAYBE perhaps its based on cognition like our super cool outfits are in the first place. maybe he appears with a different outfit between okumura and sae's palace because, while both seeing him as a threat, okumura knows hes the killer and sees him as such while sae doesnt?? idk this part is literally all speculation i have zero proof

- ok this theory has been building up for a WHILE but i think shido's using him for political gain and ill elaborate on that. first off, i think his goal is to set the phantom thieves up as a huge threat and then very publicly defeat them to give the impression hes saving the people and get voters, effectively putting public trust in him and taking away any suspicion from the murders i think he was doing to anyone he saw as a threat before then.

- akechi works with sae niijima on the SIU (which i cant remember what that means in the slightest), which has a director who has been speaking repeatedly to someone. both of them know what the metaverse is by name, implying him and his mysterious caller are connected to a metaverse user who is obviously the killer (goro akechi is a metaverse user who's been so for at the very least longer than he lets on and is obviously the killer). siu director and the person hes talking to were very much involved with getting that principal killed. the person hes talking to is likely to be someone in power who hates the phantom thieves and that description fits shido.

- not much more evidence for that, ive been cooking up these theories for months so its really easy to forget details and take long held theories as facts when they could always be false. (example: i actually thought the casino was gonna be shido's palace for a LONG time and i was very surprised to learn it wasnt)

WIP Weekend

“Did she ever visit you before you became a citizen” Leeg asks

Peeta, answers following his orders, to answer every question asked truthfully, even if the rule is being abused in this case. He sits up.

“Not really, except for after Finnick's wedding, she didn't see me that often. I mean when they had me train here for propos, she was glaring, stewing, and complaining to Plutarch, but  I just ignored her, and pretended she wasn't there. You know, when I ate with her in the cafeteria, I’m not kidding, the second Katniss saw me, it looked like she was about to spit out her drink. Dells told me that before her trip to the nut, Katniss watched me ranting. It is said that my insane screeching drove her all the way to District 2.”

Leeg tells him, “When you invited Pissy did she show you any compassion? Or was it all about her?” 

“It hasn’t gone well, I’m not proud of the way I treated people then. I insulted everyone, even Prim, and when I lashed at Johanna, I got a well deserved punch in the face. Today is the first day we've been civil to each other since my rescue. I still don't know why she even made the visit, or why she even bothered with Haymitch's updates. Did I answer your question?”

“She's a piece of work, we all know that, we love listening to your roasts of Catpiss, I bought a tape recently, it’s comedy gold! I order you to tell us about the time you visited her.”  Tong says 

Peeta rolls his eyes “Where did you get the tape?” Peeta sounds mad. 

Leeg says: “An order is an order, comply, forget about the tape” 

Peeta continues: “When she for some reason visited me, I struck where it hurt, she was forced to be a star-crossed lover even in private, or Snow would come after her. They even made her cheat on Gale with me. I twisted the knife and called her a peice of work. But that’s not all, you see, I was trying to find out why Peeta Mellark loved her, and insulting her at the same time. "

Tong says "Yeah she's short and ugly, and not particularly nice"

"That’s literally the bar I set, childish mudslinging." Peeta complains.

"It's the only bar Catpiss deserves, your orders are to reveal, what else? " Tong Says.

"In the cafeteria I was so petty, I roasted everyone at the table. I joked about taking Annie from Finnick, and she was still mad at me about it when I reached out to her and Finnick. I'm glad, they were willing to forgive me. Katniss seemed pretty devastated by the things I said to her, that shallow look in her grey eyes speaks for itself. No, I’m not sure if she was just insulted or if my words have some sort of deep effect on her. Does she actually care about what I say because I’m the one who said them? I don’t know.”

“Shallow teenage relationships aren't the same thing as real love, lovers don't abandon each other  in their time of need” Leeg says 

“yeah I know that's what Coin said" says Peeta

“And Coin as always is right” Tong says

Peeta says, “I've thought about it alot, and gone over all my interactions with her, I'm not Katniss but she could just as well be grieving me, and it would look no different from not caring at all. If Katniss was my lover and not Gale’s I don’t want to know the effect my words would have on her"

At the end of the day, is kin just someone who identifies as their kintype or not? Is it anyone who actually identifies as their kintype, or do they have to perform all these 'correct' behaviours and social dances to prove that you kin- pardon, that you are kin- correctly?
