When I tell you I have been thinking about this for three days straight...

the funniest thing about the "call us jaladdin" line is that i have not stopped referring to the two of them as jaladdin since watching rise of red for the first time

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'

Reading The Infinite and the Divine has been the polar opposite experience from what I’m used to when recommended media with a good duo in it. Instead of being promised a bunch of scenes that turn out to absolutely not be canon, I’m learning that every single meme about these two is actually a canon thing Orikan and Trazyn argue their way into.

The Statler and Waldorf jokes are not just a goof, they actually disguise themselves as humans and go get coffee and go to the opera together and send passive aggressive letters and drag each other to court twice and try to kill each other at least once a chapter and chuckle at the meteor storm murder attempts and choke each other out while smirking and send the weird fuckmonster to attack while the other one is fifteen years deep in meditation-

Was thinking of how I've seen Lucifer called the Prince of Lies and have now become obsessed with the idea of Lucifer never technically lying. He'll tell half truths, he'll omit, he'll misdirect, he'll avoid, and he'll distract, but he won't ever outright lie. Of course, this doesn't mean he's telling the truth either.

The way this fandom treats Sunny and Qibli really frustrates me, and I know a lot of the time it's because this fandom (unsurprisingly) skews younger but it really demonstrates to me that people really don't understand what trauma can do and how when people say "traumatized people can act very differently", people don't actually internalize what that means.

there are judgment boys in my head so specific.

Scrooge: can I trust you, Goldie?

Goldie: if you like. But where’s the fun in that

Girl who rear-ended me left me on read for a week after I sent her an estimate and is now claiming she’s not the one who did the damage. Lmao

Okay I think I am going to take a short socials break after this but I just wanted to make a few points.

1. As I said, you have all been so incredibly sweet and it’s super heartwarming and I don’t know what I would have done without y’all rallying behind me

2. Please nobody send hate to Marcia, and don’t send hate to the original poster either, that will just fan the flames (I don’t think any of y’all have been or would, I just want to make where I stand on this clear!)

3. I don’t think Marcia had malicious intent retweeting it — especially given her taking it down relatively quickly. The fault lies with the person who posted the original tweet. That being said, after all of this, I have some very complicated feelings regarding Marcia and I ask that that be respected, for me and anyone else who feels that way. I don’t think any of us hate her or wish her ill will, and once this is less imminent I may go back to stanning her, idk! But for now I have very complicated mixed uncomfortable emotions surrounding her and I think I am allowed to feel that way given that whatever fallout there is will inevitably center around me, and I am fucking terrified about that fact.

4. Again I love you all and I’m so grateful for how sweet you have all been. I may pop in here and there to message friends but I probably won’t be posting much if at all for a bit, and I’m gonna go on a bit of a writing hiatus while I figure out next steps

I love you all and I love this community and I hope that this is all a blip in the past soon, but for now I need to prioritize my safety and wellbeing and that means separating myself a bit 💕

Okay this got long but. I love you all, I’ll be back before you know it <333

Never have I been more grateful that time travel exists in the X-Men universe.

So frustrating to me how people (at least in this corner of the internet) have the tendency to assume that any piece of writing published anonymously that deals with upsetting/revolting subject matter must be entirely autobiographical and therefore is not to be treated like "real" literature. Right now I'm thinking about The Incest Diary and blowfly girl's stories, but they're not the only examples of course. This notion that these topics are so unthinkable that nobody would ever have any reason to write about them unless it's a 1:1 recollection of an experience they've personally had is just so unhelpful to anyone idk. And the thing is that even if these texts are 100% autobiographical, that doesn't mean they don't have literary value? That they can't be analyzed and discussed intertextually. That they weren't constructed with deliberate effort and skill and creativity and imagination and a ton of research. Etc etc. This treatment just feels so dismissive. And at the end of the day "did this really happen?" isn't even a question worth asking if the answer being "yes" sends the work in question into off-limits/untouchable territory as far as literary criticism and interpretation go, while "no" relegates it to something twisted and perverse because "who in their right mind would be capable of making this up" 🙄🙄 hi does anyone get me for the love of god hello

>W.09880-INT: Outcome unpredictable.

Six months ago, X met the Abel City quarantine zone Mavericks. Five months ago, X came back to them, this time for good. Now he has friends he can trust; a home in which he's needed and supported, disabilities and all; partners who care about his well-being; and the freedom, finally, to make his own decisions about his life and purpose—so why isn't he happy yet? Meanwhile, the outside world has its own designs on his new home, while anti-reploid sentiment is at a historic high despite the end of the Maverick War and even the Hunters have to play politics to stay off the scrap heap. As the Abel City Quarantine Zone Reclamation Plan kicks off and the residents of I.04053-REC: Home region registered. search the lost labyrinth of the old Abel Undercity for a way out, X learns the hard way that the past won't be buried so easily, the future waits for no man or reploid, that recovery is neither quick nor linear...and that in the underground spider's web of the world behind the world, some ghosts are very, very real. Maybe someday he'll actually get that nap, but today is just not going his way. Tomorrow isn't looking so good, either, but at least this time he's not alone.

Yeah, the first chapter of this will be going up soon. :) I'll keep everyone posted. Probably via incoherent screeching and pointing, but you know. I think we are all very used to me Being Like This About It by now.
