I love Pinterest alignment charts, cause sometimes I find gems like this

"in your darkest hour, in the blackest night…think of me…and I will be with you. always. for where else could I go? who else could I love but you?" i'm never gna shut up abt this line from ffxiv

[triglycercule]

idea. since askdusttale answered an ask about where dust got his determination from (because dust has SOME determination just so he can remember the timelines and keep going against the human) and said it was totally up to personal interpretation on how he got his determination. so so so like what if what if dusttale's player did something similar to something new's player and changed dust's code to give him determination??? so dust and killer COULD BOTH had their codes tampered with??? the parallels would be INSANE. they both started off as sans and got their codes tampered with by the player but dust and killer went on two opposite paths. dust out of his own voalition decided to go against the human but killer had to team up with the human no choice at all. the opposite parallels go CRAZY oh god im tweaking

killer doesn't know exactly (since i forgot whether or not he can see codes or something like that. i swear there was an image of him describing fell and swap's code and then his own) but he can SENSE that something's off. something's different about dust that he doesn't quite know about. maybe it gets him to ask a bunch of questions that dust is definitely not open to answering because jesus man mind your own damn business but the question that really sets killer off is the way dust answers when he asks "so if you have determination then how did you get it?" and dust just shrugs his shoulders and said that one day he suddenly remembered the resets and then that's when he got it (and then goes back to mumbling to phantom paps or wtvr) and killer's just like. zomg. a sudden change in behavior or mentality that seemingly has no apparent reason related to the human???? like like like when he suddenly had to agree with the player despite literally never wanting to????? killer is over thinking the implications behind this

meanwhile dust is just annoyed now because killer keeps on following him. he keeps asking him strange questions. wtf why is the guy asking to see his SOUL that's incredibly personal???? he just wants to be left alone man he has no idea what's going on

I hate binaries I hate binaries I hate binaries

[OK, full disclosure, before I posted this I had a drowned screenshot of part of a post, but I decided I didn't want to blast someone who wasn't actively having that bad of a take (I just got annoyed by phrasing) or accidentally be disingenuous in cutting off the rest of the post so instead I'm just going to explain: it was an informational post about the different experiences with labels and my frustration with it was the given examples of — paraphrased —"some alterhumans don't like the word nonhuman because they're still partly human, some nonhumans don't like the word alterhuman because they don't like the word human, some beings don't like the word person because it implies they're human."]

"It implies they're human" is not ever a true statement. Please understand the difference between how you or another person feels about a word and its definition and "this word implies/means/says/etc. this." I will not ever complain about those who don't like alterhuman or person for themselves due to their experience of dysphoria, but I am annoyed by the subset of that group who makes sweeping statements like "Alterhuman/person implies you're human!" because

I'm alterhuman and I'm nonhuman. I'm alterhuman primarily BECAUSE I'm nonhuman. I am physically not a human and what makes me dysphoric, personally, is half of the community suddenly deciding that alterhuman/person is for humans and nonhuman/being (or equivalent to being) is for everyone else so anybody who considers themself alterhuman is declaring their humanness first and everything else second. I like alterhuman. I consider myself a person because I'm a thinking being with complex emotions, not because personhood is inseparable from humanness. The alterhuman community is my community. I'm not gonna "ok we will make our own place" anymore. (I also hate having to say upfront I'm physically nonhuman otherwise I'm one of those annoying human therians yapping about misanthropy again amiright but wtvr.) It upsets me when alterhuman is talked about like "word for if you're 'kin but still consider yourself human" because I don't! I do not consider myself a human and I don't want that to dictate what labels I'm supposed to use. I do not want to be seen as a human at all, without having to abandon alterhumanity! I'm sorry for wanting to have my cake and eat it too, but this is a semantic divide, not an ontological one.

TLDR "I'm NOT alterhuman because I'm NOT a human!" Good for you! I AM alterhuman because I'm NOT a human! How cool is the subjectivity of experience? Don't project your dysphoria onto me!

I love the word alterhuman because it is up for interpretation. It is open-ended, and has space for everybody who considers their relationship to humanness or species or embodiment etc. abnormal — "alternative." I love it because my own identity is vague, inconstant, complicated and indefinable, and it can't be separated into niche distinct parts for convenient labeling. Alterhuman isn't just a catch-all umbrella term, it's a word you can use if no other words work, because it doesn't necessitate definitions. It implies nothing about identity inherently; if you have personal implications for it, those are yours, not the word's.

I like "alterhuman" for the same reasons I like "queer." Maybe my identity isn't anyone else's business, maybe it isn't even my own a lot of the time. But I always know where I belong. I find it funny how often both of these words have someone else's personal discomforts projected onto their individual users.

Btw did anyone else notice the word human is also part of "nonhuman." Scary stuff. What else is the government hiding from us

Hi, my birthday was yesterday, and I feel the new need to get back into my hp fixation- to start off I HATE Mrs Weasley. To each their own if you like her but ??? Girl.. girl that's not how you emotionally raise kids GIRL THEYRE TRAUMATIZED ENOUGH LIKE GIRL. GIRL YOU CANT AFFORD ALL THAT THERAPY, WHATS YOUR INSURANCE??? GIRL-

anyway she was emotionally abusive to her kids!! Even if you argue it "wasn't that bad" or "how?" I'll tell you!! Trauma isn't a competition. And how Percy is just shouts favoritism and fighting with your own family for her favor. She makes bill cut his (BEAUTIFUL.) long hair for his wedding, is at first the shittiest mil every to his fiance(WIFE!!) Is more worried about a car and shit than Harry's safety, who's to say what affect the actual starvation would have had on him in the long term if it went on for even a day longer? The sooner you tackle issues like that the better. And besides why was it so easy for Ron to even get to the car like. Get a baby gate or something. But when the twins were so proud of their OWLs score or wtvr she compared them to Percy. I would've cried and fought w my mom if she did that shit man. Overall she sucks as a mom but I also think some time reconnecting and genuinely trying to get better would help her be a wonderful mom. I didn't cover everything here because I have to buy the books n reread them and it's been awhile but this is what I remember!! And it's all my personal opinion, I realize that others could interpreted her actions differently and that she did do many good things as well but her faults still need work. Also she's ginger so I'll cut her some slack ...(/J/J/J/J)

[saintobio]

ahhh it's the first time i find the ask box still open since the ufc what the hell ??

anyway ill just enjoy this

needless to say that i consider myself emotionally damaged from the two final chapters of wastelands and still can't listen to uncomfortable without tearing up, but im vibing so much to this song though !! it's just weird looks from passengers on the bus for me lmao

what else ? oh idk if you saw my post/tag wtvr but the astronomy references *chef's kiss* and im saying this as an physics major i just love them, it was nice to see more in the recent chapter !!

+ your new theme , it's so pretty ^^

now to diss Gen. i get that she's trying to be protective of the little sister, but she's stepping on boundaries there, like, she's not just trying to make sure the option for divorce is there, she's created a narrative in her head where Satoru absolutely can't change and y/n must have this divorce but the "problem" is that she's not thinking about that.

idk i get the feeling that Gen hasn't really realised that y/n is actually an adult who's entitled to making her own choices, and trying to manage her marital life like this for her, i don't know, if i were y/n i'd feel deeply disrespected but maybe that's just me being too proud ? i really don't know

i love how each character is basically struggling with their own self. i just remembered ive am anonymous sent an ask before saying smth similar lol. and what i mean by this is that the plot is moved by each character's flaws and more specifically their wants

Satoru, at first, wanted to satisfy his feeling of not being enough, his insecurities born from the absence of his mother and the abuse of his father. he wanted to be the powerful CEO and the one to put a fight with the world because that's what he wanted to do, hence the whole ordeal with Sera. (im guessing that's the case since emotional support was absent in their relationship)

y/n's downfall comes from the fact that she wanted to picture perfect marriage and family so much that she kept trying to fit everything in that frame, hoping that Satoru would follow, which led her to the extreme stress and her illness. i know patience is virtue and that things appear to have turned out for the better... idk maybe it's the greek inside me talking but there's this ancient phrase, "παν μέτρον άριστον" it means to do and feel everything within a certain limit but then again there's this other phrase: "Πάντων χρημάτων μέτρον Ἄνθρωπός ἐστι" which means that every person defines what that limit is for themselves.

as for Sera, she's not on the wrong for wanting some stability and safety, i really can't blame her for that, but she's definitely crossed that limit between wanting and obsessing with these.

Eula, wants too much. Gen wants to protect her sister so much to the point she's trying to shield her from life itself, hence trying to deprive her of the right to make her own choices. idk the fuck's Naoya's deal but im guessing there's more to him as well. Satoru's father too definitely has a lot of underlying insecurities as well.

it's interesting for me to see the repetition of this theme across almost every character. the same instinct, the very same want can manifest itself is so many different ways and although it comes with many forms, at the end of the day it's still that very same want that drives them.

i feel like, surprisingly enough, Satoru was the first -and so far the only- character to escape this want by realising his love for y/n. maybe, just maybe, all that hate was undeserved in retrospective.

and i feel that Toji, another character who doesn't appear to have a want, and often serves as a listener and observer, sees this.

anyway, i just realised that i've analyzed your works also as much as oi have Gogol and Dostoyevsky's oops

i really wish i could send asks more often but seeing that you're always working so much for this blog, i don't mind.

i'll just leave you with this interpretation :p can't wait to hear your thoughts on this actually

i hope you're doing well !! 🍓💚

ok i'm back after reading the update and omfg wow sera? feeling chest pains bc your bro's scholarship got dropped??? sucks innit???? also i fkn knew eula was involved with the whole tea thing smh this btch doesn't know when to stop. i'm literally counting down the days until the update where the truth comes out and everyone learns that she k-worded nana >;( me thinks our bestest boy yuta will buckle under pressure or somehow gen will find the truth and expose e*la probs thru the caregiver or maybe even naoya??bc who knows wtf that hoe's thinking? or maybe even sera in like the enemy of my enemy is my friend type beat? lol i don't rlly think sera's gonna have a change of heart and praise y/n just for giving her brother a scholarship but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

on a lighter note tho, shcolanwbcka i love seeing all this domestic hubby/wifey shit i stg it feels like my skin is glowing, my crops are thriving, and my husband will be back from war in two days (even tho ik it won't last 😪😢🥲😭) anywho, sorry for sending two of these. i know you usually get a lot of messages so i try not to contribute to the mayhem lmao. wishing you the best!!

much love, 😔

Just wanted to say it was a great chapter again and that you shouldn't feel pressured to update on a strict schedule. You're doing more and more each time for us, it's normal that you need time.

Btw dont know if you saw or remember but I was the anon asking about birthdays. Can't believe that last time I struggled to ask a question and I had to ask about Y/N's and/or Satoru's birthday celebration when Gojo's is happening real soon 😅

Anyhoo, can't wait to see if Gojo's fantasy (sex on a yacht) is gonna happen 😜 (no need to answer that part, it's a spoiler and I'll have to wait and see just like I should have last time^^')

Just don't forget to rest Saint 💓💓

THIS CHAPTER SERVEDDDDD AAHSBSBSBBSBSBSJAHSHSHHEHE

im still confused whether sera's finally coming to her senses, but let's just wait and see! im not even surprised naoya slept with her lmao, what did we expect from him, really?

eula... oh goodness me. she's worse than i initially thought.

im waiting to see what gen will do with the information she's found out about satoru– specifically the one with eula trying to sabotage him.

i like how this was mostly fluff, too! or less angst, anyway. i love how you write heavy angst, but this acted as something like a breather from all the previous chapters! the domestic scenes were great!

@ethru said

oml. is it wrong that i kinda like eula? i mean, shes a complete bitch but the way her and naoya maniupulate sera just shows how great of a character she is.

gen!!! oml im kinda in love? shes so protective of y/n. does she want y/n to get divorced or is it more like a resentment thing? it seems like shes choosing for y/n rather than asking her.

and toji! i was lowkey rooting for you! but idk how to feel with him telling gen everything. like, ig he's thinking logically but i dont want him to end up spilling the beans on everything. like if she knows about the heart condition its over for everyone.

and satoru! whyyyyy! it wouldve been fine with him firing sera but removing jiros scholarship? disapointed.

lastly (ig?) sera is one of the most well written characters in my opinion. i sympathize with her situation. her being manipulated so easily makes sense bc of her family situation stressing her out. i really want her to realize ger worth and move on yk? she deserves someone nice and sweet that doesnt have ulterior motives. someone that loves her.

thank you for the chapter saint! im always so excited for new sn updates! love ya <3

@anothanobody said

who wasn't holding Sera accountable before?? Now you know she willingly did that. I'm so happy Jiro got his scholarship back!! I kinda laughed at Sera's amazement of Y/N's kindness, Y/N in any way shape or form ever harmed Sera even if she with Satoru hurt her for months, she shouldn't be so surprised. BUT at least she's realizing. BTW I CALLED IT FIRST THAT EULA HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!!!! How did Naoya feel when sleeping with her though? just another hole? LMAO take care SAINT <3 <3

@hojossecretmilkers said

No because I think I figured out Noaya’s goal—

He’s like pulling the strings of Eula and Sera so they eliminate each other. Sera tells Dadjo Eula “sexually harassed” Noaya — which, Noaya, u going to hell for that one cuz that’s messed up — and Eula uhhhh… exposes Sera…? Idk Sera kinda already list everything so Idk about that part—

But basically Noaya’s goal is just to be the behind the scene hero and eliminate all the enemies 😎👍

Thats my theory at least. 😵‍💫🙏

Ok i havent read the 16th chapter but i recently finished reading the 15th one (it was amazing IMO) and read so many asks about gen being extra and she needs to keep her nose out of YNs marriage

i have 2 older sister if any guy treats me or my sisters the way YN was treated you better hope im not near that guy or id pull his hair off until hes bald and make him suffer.. gen is being really calm at this point and she just wants to why YN changed her decision from getting divorced to staying with satoru.. no ones in the wrong here..

ALSO YALL ARE OK WITH TOJI STEPPING IN THEIR MARRIAGE AND FLIRTING WITH YN.. YALL ARE ALWAYS LIKE TOJI X YN WHEN.. AND ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN HER OWN SISTER TRIES TO HELP HER.. how the eff does that work?????????????

Also thanks saint for the new chapter ill definitely read it as soon as i get sometime.. i dont wanna read it in a rush 😭😭

heya saint!! loved the chapter 👍🏼‼️

I loved eula’s and sera’s interaction and scene because it truly shows how jealousy and envy can turn beautiful people into ugly tyrants.

I wanna know what else went through sera’s head when she found out Y/N put her brother’s scholarship under her name 😲 (which I’m not sure about that from Y/N because I mean you were put in danger and now you’re doing good things for the family of the woman who was so enraged and jealous about your pregnancy, that she tried to poison you into miscarriage?!?! maybe that’s just my way of thinking hmm)

Toji was absolutely correct about the whole “hanging out her kindness like flyers” because it’s true, while true kindness is a good quality, too much of it can be bad! people take advantage of those they deem weak and many times, being too nice is a sign of weakness in some people’s eyes 😬

also it makes my mind itch thinking about what’ll happen when Sera sees Y/N again 😧 like?! (if it were me I’d be taking ALL KINDS OF LEGAL ACTIONS 😦 HNNN but I applaud Y/N for the way she handled it!!!!!)

hmm Gen nervous her sister will find out she’s been digging around and trying to find things out, yeah that won’t end very well, especially the part where she said too much stress will be bad, yeah uhm Gen you’re a total queen and have my upmost respect but if you KNOW if this is found out, that it’ll cause a massive problem for Y/N WHY WOULD YOU DIG AROUND i understand she wants nothing but the best for her little sister (I would wish the best for my siblings as well) but come on now, especially with Y/N’s condition, even I’m worried, that could end horribly, think about it, there’s already lots of health risks for pregnant people AND ADD A FRAGILE HEART ALONG WITH THAT?? oh dear.

also. Naoya you little ho-ho-hoe 🙂.

ANYWHOOO.

This chapter had its cute moments oh my goodness 🙁❤️ Dadjo redemption arc LETS GOOOO😲😲

that’s about all 😯!! take care of yourself saint!!!! luv ya!!

Anonymous said

Now one of 2 things could happen next chapter based on my assumptions……

1. LATE SERA REDEMPTION ARC (I kinda would like that if she exposed Eula, but won’t that mean she’d have to expose Satoru’s unfaithfulness to y/n as well? Unless she lies and doesn’t address it….. or moves in secrecy idk)

2. Eula the MURDERER KILLS HER IN THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT CHAPTER CAUSE SHE SAYS “I would rather die” 😫😫

So I’m somewhat fearful for next chapter but at the same time I’m hype to see what will happen! Overall 10/10 CHAPTER SAINT GREAT AS ALWAYS 🙌🙌

Gen confronting Gojo when?😅

I can’t believe she knows about everything… like the Bora Bora trip and Sera’s pregnancy scare. Dude call me a masochist, but I am still waiting for this confrontation. Though Gojo has redeemed himself, I still want to see Gen give him a piece of her mind. Because at the end of the day as an older sister myself I wouldn’t hold back either. My sister is top priority, and if I found out that their partner was treating them like trash I would be livid. And yea not gonna lie my relationship/respect for their significant other would never be the same.

Lord, I can’t wait! I am so excited for the rest of the series. Only a few chapters left. And then we get SN2!

SAINT, thank you so much for all the hard work and effort you put into your stories. I legit can’t thank you enough, your weekly chapters and answers to ask’s are what get me through the week. That said, take care of your health first and foremost, and don’t worry about posting on a specific day. Also, I think I speak for almost everyone that follows your blog, but we would happily wait weeks for an update, because your work is that good! Stay healthy, and as always great chapter! Have a great week!

never in my life have i clicked so fast on a link when i saw chapter sixteen was up hahsjdjdjdjd

i’ve honestly never been one to enjoy long, serialized fics but i legit LOVED sincerely not so much that i stayed up til 4am just to finish the entire thing in one go (my hand may have also slipped bc i ended up creating a playlist inspired by it and now i can’t listen to traitor x burn without thinking about sn ?? YOUR POWER ??)

i just love how developed the characters are and how you’ve taken them from the jjk verse and put them into this au without compromising their personalities and the traits that make them so endearing. and the original characters are so interesting too!! meeting sera and reading about her devolution into a really sinister character made me detest her (esp since i have been cheated on and it wasn’t a pleasant experience at all), but man sometimes it feels like she’s getting caught up in all this rich people drama, like parasite (2019) anyone ?? people from lower social strata have to compromise their morals for survival ?? your fic isn’t just a well-written romance, it’s also a reminder of the ills of our capitalist society (again your power !!)

anyway i just wanna close this ask by saying sn (and your other works) really is a gem and im so glad to have found it (even tho i was just technically in it for the smut at first <3)

Hey Saint!

First of all thank you for all the work you put in to writing SN, it’s absolutely amazing and I admire you so much for it! There’s so much intricacy in the plot, the world building is amazing, and you do such an amazing job when pacing out character arcs. It’s like reading the novelization of a drama and I’m so here for it haha!

This doesn’t have anything to do with the latest chapter, per say, but I was wondering if you’ve listened to Halsey’s latest album bc there are quite a few songs that remind me of SN, especially the early chapters!

Her song 1121 is about how she felt when she found out she was pregnant, and it reminds me of MCs pregnancy, especially the lines “I won’t die for love, but ever since I met you, you could have my heart, and I would break it for you”

Thank you again for everything you put into your writing, please stay well rested and happy <3

The fights, the low-key but not so low-key detective work, the bathtime chats and fluff moments with Mr. and Mrs. Gojo 🥺 what a chapter!

Really (still) don’t like Sera, yet I feel right when she’s somewhat getting she’s being played, she gets played again! Girl can’t a break, but with this chap’s events; she’ll be more prepared , not throwing herself around these enlists and actually get some common sense and compassion. Loved Gojo’s and Y/N’s part; just not prepared for the end 🧍🏻‍♀️let’s just soak in all the good stuff before the bad drops in 💭

Just have a really w/ Naoya, Eula, and Sera now, when everything is out with them; it’s gonna be a a big ‘He Said/She Said’ fight and I’m not sure who’s gonna make it out… Thank you Saint against for another great chapter and take care!

thank u for all the kind words !!! it makes me happy to read through ur reactions and messages abt sn 😭 i was planning to answer as many asks as i can but unfortunately i have to run errands today so i don’t have much time. i have compiled the asks tho so you guys know that i’ve read them
