He paid attention to it once and now all he could hear was that ticking of that big old clock in the dining room. This house had a heartbeat, this house was the only living being around.

He was trying to be quiet so as not to bother anyone, although he knew that the building was empty. It looked even older and more abandoned than it was. The stairs were creaking as he was making his way upstairs as if they were asking: "Why? Why? Why?"

When he came to the door of Nigel's room he felt his own heartbeat and it was faster and louder than the house's.

Alex touched the smooth cold wooden handle and it seemed to him that he heard someone gasp. He wasn't sure if he was able to proceed, however this time he had made progress. 

He came back three days later early in the morning when the earliest of the birds were just starting to warm up. The silence inside was eloquent. He could hear neither the clock nor the stairs - not even his own heartbeat anymore. Everything around was frozen in anticipation. He pressed the handle and pushed the door. The air in the room was cooler than it was in the hall.

Nigel was sitting on the bed drawing a portrait with a piece of coal. He must have been failing to draw it the way he wanted because many unfinished portraits of the same person were scattered around the room. He looked at Alex with a calm smile. 

- I'm so happy you've made it. I almost forgot how you look. I was trying to remember as you might have noticed.

- I wanted to come earlier. 

It was all Alex could say. He sat on the bed beside Nigel and repeated:

- I wanted to come earlier. I should have protected you.

- I'm quite satisfied with the way the things are now. Just look.

Alex noticed that it was raining or… it had been raining for some time. The sound of the rain made the room feel cozy and safe - he could be sure that all predators were in their holes. The room itself wasn't Nigel's room anymore - it was much bigger and lighter. They could watch the rain comе back into the ocean. The silver skies, the air, the sound of waves, the smells and sounds - all of that had a kind of prehistoric character. In this place there was no such a thing as time anymore. They were home.

- Alright, - says a black-haired pretty young god placing his head comfortably on the chest of his freckled friend. - This one was tough. Do you still doubt my love for you? I manage to find you and win you every time no matter how hard you try to hide and make it impossible for me. 

His voice sounds tired and his eyelids are so heavy he can't keep his silver eyes open anymore so he stops struggling.

- Let's try again a bit later, - answers the freckled god caressing the brunette's face. - There are some new stories in my mind I'd like to share with you. 

- But there is always a chance we forget who we are if we stay there for too long, - the brunette protested quietly. - You were late this time. Late and confused. And you want to take this risk again just because you want me to prove something to you?

- I've never doubted you, love. We both know we're fated to be together, - answered the ginger haired god serenely kissing the other one on the lips. - You are so beautiful. I just enjoy it so much when they look at us.

reposting some PH favorites

[starflungwaddledee]

Oooo starstruck dee has little stars at the bottom of her feet! Are they just aesthetic or would they make imprints into the ground? (like pawprints)

exactly like that! though she's not the only one...

edit: might need to add some additional dialogue to this to make it more clear, but a clarification in the interim; he knows about his own footprints. he's just surprised to see something similar already there when he knows he's only just landed. he lifts his own shoe to confirm that they're not identical (and also to reveal this to the viewer). seems his stoicism beat off the clarity in this one, sorry 😭

Shoutout to the massive overlap between Otto Octavius fans and fans of Stan & Ford Pines

buck realising his feelings à la the new girl 'its nick' scene because this man will not question the platonic nature of his undying love unless someone points it out to him

From 'Dream of a woman' By Cacey Plett.

This sums up exactly how I feel about most transition timelines. As much as they reflect people's experiences, they are also a narrative. And the narratives that get shared the most tell a lot about what our values are. The timelines that get the most attention are the ones where people go from sad, loser, nothing boys into beautiful women.

But if you go to /r/transitiontimelines or a similar place, and sort by controversial or look at what has the least likes, its people who made timelines when they still don't 'pass' yet. Even if they're happy as can be, that's not what people are looking for.

I think it says a lot about what people expect from trans women, that they only want to see us be beautiful. In some cases, that they want to believe they can be beautiful. So there is no value in trans life if you're not beautiful.

HC idea, Macaque is sort of out of shape upon integrating with human society. (But is still way stronger cus he's not a normal monke)

This hc only makes sense if u search up fur-less monkies. (They're buff)

DF RAMBLE AHEAD (I got carried away)

I did on fact, search up hairless monkies for this. For those of you who see this and are also curious, here is a picture:

Those are really buff monkies, and they lowkey unsettle me a little lmao (to think Macaque and Wukong could, or once, or are built like this terrifying but also really funny).

Now, I really like this HC idea (because there is no way Macaque is in the same state as he was hundreds upon thousands of years ago, regardless of his "death"), but the reason he is out of shape might be worth discussion.

I think it might be because of the food he'd be eating, not lack of exercise, nor merely time and humans changing him.

Think about it. For centuries, generations, human society has cultivated food, invented recipes, and used selective breeding and genetic modification over the course of millenias to achieve the state of fruit and vegetables that we have today.

Like, watermelons:

I want to really lean into how humans have cultivated fruits and vegetables for this ramble though because, that's probably what Macaque has always mostly eaten and will continue to eat most of the time (well, kind of, we'll add to that later).

Fruit has gotten sweeter over the years. Too sweet. And there have actually been articles written about how it's gotten so sweet to a point that animals in zoos literally cannot eat them because of their high sugar content.

What point am I making? I think Macaque has teeth problems lmao (someone please get this monkey to a dentist). Solely because of this.

But that's a little off topic 💀. Because back to the point I said earlier, Macaque probably eats more than fruit and vegetables now. But not any good stuff. He probably eats a lot of stuff that is high on sodium like, I don't know, cup noodles or, screw it, an entire jar of pickles. He uses the juice to brew his afternoon tea.

Side note: In contrast to Wukong's peach chips, I think it would be fun if Macaque really liked dried mangos or something. Or prunes. Raisins even. Dried banana crisps too. Guys do we think he would steal invest in a fruit dehydrator? I think he would.

Add all of this up together, and no matter how much training Macaque does, he won't get back to his prime with his modern diet, haha. For Wukong on the other hand (who shouldn't have been a part of this discussion in the first place but I do want to mention him again), he lives on Flower Fruit Mountain so, I'll give the place the benefit of the doubt that the fruits there aren't that cultivated to the point of over sweetness and, I'm sure there's only so much junk food Wukong could haul over to his mountain or, his shame temple.

But it's alright, we had to nerf Macaque somehow/j.

Why did it take my landlords' young kid pulling a prank on me to realize I do in fact have unprocessed ptsd

16 for the wip ask game 👉👈

omg hi there!!!!

sorry it took me a hot minute to get back to you, but uhhh i'm lowkey moving in silence with this fic that i'm working on and just started the other night. it's a link click shiguang fic!!! something that i've been interested in exploring for a while, and with the yingdu arc dropping and learning more about the characters' pasts, i just had to write this.

essentially, it follows the canon story, sort of, but it branches off into its own timeline. if you know anything about link click, then you know that the canon story follows one of the many timelines that exist in the canonverse.

this is going to be a very sad, angsty fic that i want to use to explore lu guang's and cheng xiaoshi's relationship. it has a... bittersweet ending.

here's a sneak peek for it, if you're interested:

i also have an itfs childhood friends to lovers story that is fully outlined and waiting to be written; however, i am slowly falling into the link click hole. DON'T WORRY THOUGH. itafushi still my number 1 fr. my old reliables, i cannot wait to post more <33

[neurotypical-sonic]

one time in my hometown a kangaroo somehow got up on the roof on one of the shops on the main street. causes quite a spectacle. anyways I think sonic would do the same, especially in places like spagonia (spell check) where he already runs around on the rooftops a lot. its such a nice warm day, and the awnings over the shops are so nice and warm.... how could he resist laying down and taking a nap??

the locals are used to it at this point and most of them are happy to let him sleep on the top of their shops - helps with business! other owners arent as happy, but its always a hit with tourists

Sometimes I feel like I don't care what other people think and other times. Sigh

[savebylou]

I don't like when people use the supernatural meme to annouce a death. There are better ways to do it.

[musical-chick-13]

I hate when something looks like it would be RIGHT up your alley and the cast is pretty stacked, but there's one person in said cast who is just. Genuinely a horrible human being.

[vamprisms]

i think employers who dock your wages for sick leave shouldn't be allowed to hound you for repeat absences like obviously if im willing to lose a whole day's pay it's serious leave me alone
