thought I was entering a funk, thought that I was crawling toward rock bottom where even just replying to an email took Herculean effort, and my dishes would lie in the sink for eons to come or maybe serve as the breeding ground for a certain kind of obscure and fascinating bacteria---only to discover that I'd been drinking decaf coffee for the last two days.

There's something about like. A certain genre of posts / Online Opinions about insecurity/depression/misery/complaints that are so unhelpful that they wrap right around to being straight up hilarious. and it's the ones that are more or less written to the tone of "Feeling bad? That's gross!" Like, just so you know, don't voice your insecurities/ have low self esteem, because that's offputting! You're gross and weird. Don't be insecure about that, though. That would be stupid if you felt insecure about people disliking you for being insecure. Not attractive. You should be thinking about being as attractive as possible. You shouldn't make comments about suicide, even if you're suicidal! Keep those thoughts entirely to yourself. Make sure nobody around you knows you're thinking about this. It would Make Them Uncomfortable. It's better to keep these thoughts in your head where they can fester. Don't post OR talk to friends with complaints about you feeling miserable or depressed. Tbh people who are sad/upset a lot? Kinda a red flag! You are probably miserable because you're a bad person and you've brought this on yourself. If you don't have friends, it's because you're awful to be around. Easy! Solved the problem for you. And no, there is no nuance to this, got it? So, make sure to feel bad about feeling bad, but don't feel bad about it, because, well, that's just gross. And annoying! You might've wanted your brain rotted thoughts to be Peer Reviewed, you might have just needed to vent- you might've been hoping for some comfort, to get things off your chest. Well, don't! Don't talk about thoughts or feelings that are negative with your friends, you'd be burdening them and that's only meant for THERAPY. #SponsoredbyBetterHelp #MentalHealth like, DAMN. that's so helpful. you're so good at helping. I um really liked the part where these are all hard and fast rules that encourage keeping feelings bottled up and keeping your friends at arm's length. That's really funny of you.

Is Error in one of the Teams Or is he a loney guy?

And what does everyone fears/likes the most?

Killer: i like Nightmare (platonically) and i fucking hate paintbrushes Cross: oh, i fear cows and like tacos and chocolate. the only thing i like more than these two things was beating the shit out of Ink. it was funny and worth the scars Dust: abandonment Dust: … Dust: … Dust: i like…d Dust: …when Cross beat the shit out of Ink

"Listen, I love seeing you get into it after the whistle, too, man. Because you'll throw down—Like, you and [Steven] Stamkos went at it... you been going at it with a lot of different guys, but Evan Bouchard—" "I'm not tough! I'm not tough! No! I felt bad about that, man..." "I gotta ask about the chokehold, though! With Evan and he's like tapping out! Is he making any noises? Do you even know that he's in a compromised position? That maybe he can't breathe or whatever? What was going through your mind when this happened? And what was your reaction when you saw it afterwards?" "Yeah, I mean, listen some guys like to keep up the persona... I'm not the toughest guy in the league, I'll never claim to be that. I don't fight often. I haven't—I don't think I did last year at all, but I do believe in protecting yourself. You know, I saw Barkov get hit, and it was pretty dirty hit in my mind—in the moment, right?...before and after replay, and stuff like that. You understand the league made the right call, and what not... But, I see him, he's vulnerable, he's one of their better players, one of our better players on the ice, that was all it was, right? Just grab him and do something. You know, I felt bad about it, I apologised to him in the handshake line on the way out, right? It's all part of the game."

"What did he say? 'No problem'?" "'Go fuck yourself!'" "No, he said, 'All good, no issue.' I'm sure I'll get hit from behind next year or something so..." "'See, I got 45 points in playoffs...'" "Hey, but I'm with ya! I said it at the time! The Draisaitl hit on Barkov—Like, he knew what he was doing, he went straight through his head...I don't know..." "It's—No doubt, no doubt." "...In regular season he's probably getting suspended. You know, if that's the regular season..." "Yeah, and you know what? It all ended well, and Barkov was fine so... the league made the right call obviously, right?" "Yeah..." "Whatever...but when Max Domi—years ago...and he's kind-of like pressuring you, pressuring you, and you're like, 'What?' And you didn't get your guard up and he catches you with one...he catches you right in the jaw, you ate one! Were you thinking afterwards like, 'Man, I know I'm drawing a penalty here, but I gotta protect myself so I don't eat a fucking punch again like this, and set myself back with concussions'?" "Yeah, that obviously taught me a lot about protecting myself, for sure. For sure. You'd rather be the first one in there than the last one so...Yeah, it's not about dropping the gloves or anything, but getting your guard up and—definitely being the first guy to separate yourself, I think, is important. Yeah, I mean, that's all I'm gonna say about that."

Maybe I should stop telling people I'm an algebraic topologist and just say I do homotopical algebra. It's truer I think. But less well known. Which is weird because everyone knows about homotopy theory.

I guess the brave new algebra program was only fully realized fairly recently.

oh dear jojo ova discussion is threatening to give me grade A stardust crusaders brainrot again. but like i already did a whole-ass rewrite on part3 that incorporates themes from the ova so what the fuck am i even going to do with this ??

i love the idea of aki being really strong without seeming like it especially because of his uniform. manhandling or carrying someone with ease and not breaking a sweat. you never really pay too much attention to it until he rolls up his sleeves and you see his forearms or hands. im drooling.

he definitely doesn't look like it. even when he's out of uniform, he's on the leaner side, he isn't crazy muscular. but aki is a lot stronger than he appears, much more than anyone gives him credit for.

dont forget that he regularly beats up guys from division 2 in boxing matches without even trying... he's really quite tough....

I generally have little to no interest in either the red hood OR dark aus, but I'm just saying I could be really into a t4t bi4bi redhood4redhood murder-as-declarations-of-love timsteph au (could be reverse robins or you figure out a way to have kept jason alive while still bringing tim into the fold, w/e, idc) where tim dies, and then--with whatever catalyst you want to believe--less than six months later, war games happens, and steph also dies. (or "dies." could work either way depending on how you set it up.)

black mask is, of course, the first and most important name on tim's list when he returns to gotham post-resurrection. mask's torture and murder is a love letter in violence and blood. tim knows steph wouldn't appreciate it, not really, but it's the only way he knows how to handle that grief now, you know?

(cass does not know. she does not appreciate this argument when tim makes it.)

and then steph comes back too--also furious, also grieving, also a little murderous, and great minds must think alike because she's on track to exact revenge on whoever it was who killed tim long before she finds out about black mask's death. (why haunt the narrative when you could just haunt each other?) maybe tim is also out for revenge on his own behalf by this point. maybe he and steph don't recognize each other the first time they come mask to mask post-resurrection. maybe we get some nice angsty identity porn + enemies to lovers action going on.

(maybe this is a unique hell for cassandra cain, watching her two favorite people act out this bizarre murder romance.)

absolutely obsessed with the glimpse into the hot producer george and academia matty au!

is this a chaptered fic sitch?

thank you!! i too am a little obsessed with george being 1. too hot for his own good and holding his own with the Big Names while also 2. still being just some guy who likes playing music with his best friends; generally soft-spoken but knowledgeable, funny and charming, and hating every time someone asks him to go to something without his friends/the band that made him known in the first place! and then who's not obsessed with the idea of PhD candidate/TA/part-time editor matty lurking around george's home verbally dictating his dissertation to his phone while george watches from the dining table, failing to follow along while also failing to get him to at least sit down, Matty, please...

and i think it's going to have to be chaptered? mostly because the au right now doesn't have a traditional narrative arc. like, the point of the au is not that they get together (which has a very clear kind of ABC plot beats) or that they're together and then there is tension because of the fame (something with a very clear climax and resolution/falling action). So there really isn't a way for me to be "done" so it only makes sense to write it in chapters/scenes (that most likely will need to be linear just for everyone's sanity)

BUT that being said, I am definitely someone who likes to have a lot written before I toss anything chaptered into the world so perhaps while i'm writing I'll find a nicer way to contain the au and be able to give you everything at once! or this could just be an ongoing au series that, after the initial foundational story is posted, we add to it with ideas/prompts/situations as they come to us [yes this is a group effort now i welcome you in :)]

ty for asking!! xo
