I'm knitting in the corner at a party

and guys my age stop by to tell me I remind them of their aunt, of their grandmother. This is a compliment and I take it as such. They confess to having tried crochet once, and I smile. They get back in line for the bathroom.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and a queer woman sits on the floor next to me, arranges her skirt, and smiles up at me. (I try not to blush.) She asks me all the questions on her mind about my craft and I answer them, hands still moving. We swap yarn sources. She doesn't stay, but she knows where to find me.

I'm knitting in the corner at a party and everyone knows where to find me when they need a minute, when socializing is too much and the music is too loud and they need to catch their breath. They pretend to be checking in on me, which is sweet, but I can see the relief in their eyes the moment they stop performing for a house full of people. They sit down and tell me things and all the while they never take their eyes off my hands.

The party has wound down and I'm still knitting and the hosts, two guys in their twenties, thank me for "helping to curate the vibe." I had no idea that's what I was doing. I leave the party having forgotten to drink anything and without that woman's number but with many rows added to my top-down raglan sweater. I call it a night, and a good one.

Volo's little laughs in Pokemon Masters have me in iron grip, I simply had to illustrate how I pictured them

the humming is so good. It's so good.

randomly thought about that one richard siken poem i see quoted all the time (you know the one i'm sure) ((if not, it's the last stanza in the link)) and anyway.

this isn't a drabble bc i couldn't get it to be less than 101 words, so i finally decided 'fuck it' and went all the way up to 150 haha. but have this:

Jason has read this poem before.

He’s in the car with a beautiful boy, and he loves him. He loves him the way he always loves people—with blood caked fingers and a devotion bordering on reverence. He does not tell him. It’s a quiet kind of devotion; one that stays firmly nestled in the cage of his ribs and locked behind his teeth, held prisoner with a thousand other things he feels but does not say.

It won’t last. He knows better than most that buried things don’t always stay buried. Sometimes they claw their way out of the ground, broken and gasping but alive, and demand to be heard—to be seen.

If he had any sense, he’d be long gone before it happens to him.

But leaving is tantamount to giving up, and if there’s one thing he’s never been good at, it’s that.

So he stays.

Guhnash Battle but as a Storyboard

[monarchisms]

so, with rt having their anniversary on april 1st, they decided this year to celebrate for 20 whole weeks for their 20th anniversary. with one episode a week on fridays starting in march and ending in july, they've released one-off mystery episodes of their shows and products that have been cancelled, put on hiatus, or otherwise ended naturally. the exceptions are on the spot and camp camp, the former of which is coming back later this year, and the latter having a new season premiere later next year in 2024, both having been confirmed at rtx 2023.

it makes sense for rt to build up such a major milestone by teasing what they're doing to celebrate, but i think the way they've done it is...

not great.

that's why i'm just gonna put what each mystery video is, with links to youtube because the rt site fucking sucks for convenience!

week 1 (march 17th) | ahwu week 2 (march 24th) | rage quit week 3 (march 31st) | million dollars, but... week 4 (april 7th) | achievement h.o.r.s.e week 5 (april 14th) | on the spot (was originally streamed live)* week 6 (april 21st) | master & apprentice week 7 (april 28th) | rt docs (at least, a ~15 minute parody of one from funhaus) week 8 (may 5th) | AH gta iv: cops and crooks week 9 (may 12th) | AH: theater mode (the youtube version got cut down from around 1 hour 40 minutes to close to 30 minutes, which is cringe) week 10 (may 19th) | rt recap week 11 (may 26th) | rt shorts week 12 (june 2nd) | music video: dusk boys: u.f.whoa week 13 (june 9th) | chump (was originally streamed live)* week 14 (june 16th) | immersion week 15 (june 23rd) | p.a.n.i.c.s week 16 (june 30th) | hard mode: uncomfortable guess who?* week 17 (july 7th) | lazer team: boot group (animated video) week 18 (july 14th) | [trailer] a simple walk into mordor: part 2 week 19 (july 21st) | camp camp week 20 (july 28th) | [prologue] red vs blue: restoration (series finale)

an asterisk (*) means there's bonus content for the labeled video that's unfortunately exclusive to the rt site, with hard mode's bonus video being behind a paywall, for some reason

note: the rvb restoration prologue came out on youtube on july 8th, but i chose to keep the date as the 28th because that's when it was supposed to come out. i didn't know it was released earlier on purpose until i was lucky enough to see an explanation from an rt employee on reddit, of all places:

happy dl-6 day. here’s edgeworth reading fanfiction.

made for @juryzines Steel Samurai zine!

(transcript under the cut)

"I can tell you're suffering," pleaded the Steel Samurai. "I don't want to fight you! Let me help you!"

"Hmph." The Evil Magistrate dismissed the Samurai's plea. "You can't help me. Get out of my sight!"

"I can't just ignore you! Ever since we were kids, I..."

"You don't know me... you don't know about my inner darkness... I don't need your pity!" The Evil Magistrate turned away. The Steel Samurai could swear he saw a tear rolling down the Magistrate's cheek...

"Wait!" the Samurai cried, grabbing the Magistrate's wrist before he could get away, pivoting the man back toward him.

The Steel Samurai cupped the Magistrate's face in his hand, using his thumb to stroke his pointy moustache. "I can't leave you alone, Mag." The childhood nickname sent a pang through the Magistrate's heart.

The Magistrate looked into the Samurai's steely orbs, beautifully shining in the moonlight. The Samurai leaned forward, and gently met the Magistrate's lips with his own.

The two of them wished this moment would last forever.

Abruptly, the Magistrate pushed the Samurai away. "We can't." He couldn't meet the Samurai's gaze. "We're enemies."

"We don't have to be." His voice was soft.

"No... it is our destiny for us to fight. The next time we meet, it will be as enemies."

The Evil Magistrate disappeared from sight. A chilly breeze blew through Neo Olde Tokyo.

"Mag... I..."

I think it's actually a crime that Volo is stuck in PLA! Gamefreak should let him roam free and appear in every game from now on. As a treat.

I went so overboard with the tera sparkles, I don't know what to tell you.
