the shit people were saying to him was funny until it wasn't. i still read through them from time to time because i get a kick out of knowing people laughed at his shit and tried to use pretty boy insultingly - i think about that comment a lot and i still have a theory that it was one of vivian's old friends because vivian was either psychopathic or the most sane person i ever met - and they told him to be more careful broadcasting his mental problems to viewers of a public blog (and i get an ego boost from knowing he was probably getting off on it cause that's the type of guy he always was). i think it stopped being funny when the threats on posts that were very obviously about me - "curly-haired boy with acne-prone skin", etc - began. i told trick as a joke once that i think it were all him on alt accounts but she laughed and said maybe and i haven't talked to trick in almost a year now and i wonder if i would miss her if it wasn't for that.

i haven't talked to vivian, i haven't talked to trick, and my current friends know next nothing of neither of those people. and i miss trick but i do not miss vivian and really, i don't miss trick, but i miss her auburn hair and the way she'd always complain about hair dye being a nightmare to get out, even between three rounds of colour oops, and i miss the suppression of laughter evident on dyl's face when i told him i was in a "situationship" with a teenage girl named patrick-but-i-call-her-trick but i don't miss trick because i've moved on.

and i hate trick, because i spoke of her recently and she goes by another name now but she never truly went by trick unless it was to me so i can call her that to keep her anonymity but i hate her. and miles hates her and kody probably hates her and every other poor kid that she fucked over hates her.

and i think about him writing every post in james' car (and then i think about us holding hands in the back seat of james' car and maybe i do feel a little sick) but then i think of him crying my old name when he wakes up from nightmares about whatever truly happened to him and whatever he lied about and by now i definitely feel sick.

i think about his edgy shitty poetic blog and how he never knew how to write or draw or play an instrument and i think he'll never make it out of lancashire but i also know he will and i, for one, will make it out of birmingham if it is the last thing i do.

and maybe i'll see him in greece one day and by now my hearing has deteriorated to a level where i feel most confident speaking in sign language despite my teenage self being reluctant to learn and i'll wave to him and he'll wave back because neither of us recognise each other's faces but but but i notice the crookedness of his teeth against thin lips and he notices the small circular scars across my face and for a moment we feel as if we might know. we don't. we never have and we never will.

and he'll continue to call me a liar on his blog and ricky will continue to view me as competition and vivian will continue to fear the wrath of an incompetent sixteen-year-old boy and trick will continue to get the urge to text me whenever her dad drives down to birmingham and dyl will continue to convince his mom to take me to gigs and james will continue to exist through quiet evening jokes and anonymous blogspot stalkers will continue to maliciously call him a pretty boy and he never liked me anyway and it will all be okay.

ah yes, the sweet sting of rejection from a billion dollar corporation who believes that "action stories don't appeal to romance audiences", welcome back my old familiar friend

what happens next

[werewolf-cuddles]

I sincerely hope that Max has both male and female love interests again in Double Exposure so the fandom will hopefully, maybe, finally stop erasing her bisexuality

i am (finally) deserving of the love you give me.

we had a scare earlier today; it wasn't a big one, it felt worse than it was. we were in the car and your face was tight, you looked on the edge of tears and i know it takes a lot to make you cry. i kept calm just for you, and we handled the problem together. you paid for everything we needed, insisted on it, even. you bought me a wendy's frosty afterward, it tastes like chocolate and love as cheesy as that sounds.

You're more amazing than rules

Working on Modified Set 2.0! I've made some commons today and the ally-color archetypes are:

Auras

Modified

Equipment

Supplies

And Enchantments

A lot of these probably really need the context of the enemy-color archetypes to make sense, but this post is already long. One little hint: Red also gets Resonance creatures, but Differently.

how i feel after someone I respect a lot starts following me

[inmydr3amz]

How am I meant to explain that my favourite book series ever, that includes characters who have been ostracized from society finding family within each other, that includes depictions of child abuse, that includes depictions of broken and unconventional families, that includes depictions of eating disorders, that includes canonly queer characters being treated normally like every other character with no questions asked, that includes imperfect characters with realistic flaws, that provides societal commentary through the never-ending search for eternal beauty and youth, that includes depictions of child grooming, that includes depictions of child slavery, that includes depictions of literal cults, and includes one of my favourite and one of the slowest and sweetest slowburns ever is a literal children's comedy book series?

do you know any blogs that are into platonic madwheeler? i just found a clip in s4 of them whispering together that i had never seen before and wondered if anyone had seen it or wanted to discuss! i think the reveal of mike's story in s5 might have some max involved somehow, perhaps a hospital visit or even his memories of their fraught relationship that develops into a mutual understanding because theyre both depressed at the start of s4.

I actually don't know any! I really like them as good friends, but I either see it mentioned as a romance angle or complaints about liking it since they don't interact much. Which I think is silly - clearly they are friends? I love how when you pull away the snark and sarcasm, Max just wanted to be friends with Mike. The scene with the skateboard in the gym in season 2 when Max is skating around and Mike starts genuinely smiling - that's one of my favorite parts of the entire series. It shows them both so perfectly!!

We don't have to see everything perfectly spelled out on screen. It's like jokes about how little we see Will and Dustin interact in the actual show. Sure, we want more of that and sure this much is true with minimal screen time together - but that doesn't mean in the "reality" of the show's internal world, that they don't interact. They're all friends and they'd all be together a lot, using the implications by means of imagination. So - Mike and Max. Great duo. Love them! Wish I knew of anyone you can vibe with, but that has never been a focal point I can recall well. I'm only following a really small number these days and do a lot of blog and tag jumping.

But ooooh I would love some nod in season 5. Mike talking to Max bedside while she's unconscious would be cool. Maybe guilt for being involved in bringing her into the danger of their lives. Maybe a confessional for some hard truths. He wants to tell a friend whatever it is he's been going through but he can't tell anyone else who could actively judge. Maybe him upping his loyal leader arc, bedside vowing they'll save her, even after all that time. There's a lot they can do. Will they? It would be nice, but part of me feels all the storyline with Max is going to be with others, but who knows!!
