#right now it's george time

[catsandgoodbooks]

So. Punz and George. They're both very much defined by their relationships with Dream, probably more than anyone else on the server. It's hard to talk about Punz without bringing up Dream, and it's hard to talk about George without referencing him either. They have lives, of course, but Dream is always at the forefront of their minds. Punz spent a whole year of their life just waiting for Dream's escape; George dreams away the days even after the jailbreak in a fantasy world of his imagination where everything is perfect and he can be with Dream.

But they don't really have a relationship. They don't talk, especially not about Dream, because that would show that they cared, and George is trying to deny that to himself after the dethronement and Punz cannot allow anyone to consider even for a moment that they are on Dream's side or it was all for nothing. So the relationship they do have, weak and distant as it is, is based on bitterness and perceived betrayals and envy.

George doesn't really think about Punz much. If he did, he'd had to think about Dream, and not his Dream, not the Dream that exists only in his dreams now, but the actual, real Dream. The Dream who dethroned him without a second glance. The Dream he abandoned. The Dream locked away in an obsidian prison, rotting away as George sleeps. And George doesn't want to think about Punz. Not when it pulls him out of his dreams and makes him think about Dream.

When he does think about Punz, though, he's not exactly a fan of them. They betrayed Dream; undeniably, inexcusably, they did. They had his trust, and they threw it away for a little extra bit of money. George would never do something like that. Dream left first, after all. Dethroned George first and told him he didn't care what happened to him. Dream never did that to Punz.

And that's important. Dream never turned against Punz; they were the one who chose to betray him. Dream never quite trusted George the same way he did with Punz, and, in the period leading up to the dethronement, he let George in on less and less of his plans, grew closer and closer to his mercenary. George told himself it was because Dream wanted to keep him safe. After the dethronement, he accepted the fact that Dream just didn't care about him anymore, and that it had been a sign of that.

George tells himself that if he had been in the situation as Punz, if Dream trusted him, he would of never done what they did.

Punz...doesn't have a great opinion of George, to tell the truth. They might of pretended to betray Dream, but George (and Sapnap, and everyone who was there and just watched it happen) is the one who actually did. George left. He left and didn't come back, didn't even show up for the arrest/execution (because that's what it really was, an execution, no use dancing around it). He didn't even go visit Dream in Pandora's Vault, even when he had every chance to, even when he didn't have a plan dictating that he absolutely could not do that. Not like Punz did.

Unreliable. Untrustworthy. Uncaring. Those are the nicest words for what George is, at least to Punz. Dream died, twice, and George was nowhere to be found. Just because Dream had been trying to keep him safe. To make sure people didn't try to target George to hurt Dream. And George just left, like that was an option in this game they were all playing, that none of them save Wilbur had chosen to play, like you could just throw up your hands and say "okay, that's it, I'm done" and leave with immunity, taking everything you've done with you. That wasn't how the world worked. And it didn't matter if George understood that or not, because it still hurt Dream, and that was what was important. Because what George did was a betrayal, and because they were already familiar enough with that to know how bitter it tasted. Because Punz had to constantly pretend and reap what they had sown and deal with this betrayal they had committed - not the one they were infamous for but the one in their heart and their brain and the way people looked at them and laughed with them and the way they had agreed to the plan and let Dream die and the sneaking suspicion they had, growing louder every day, that something had gone wrong and that they had to do something about it but that too would be a betrayal - but George didn't, just because he had been there earlier and knew some people longer. Because people trusted him more and he didn't have to prove how reliable he was and how much he hated Dream and all that.

And because George had Dream's love in a way Punz never could. Dream loved too freely, that much was true, but he flinches at every motion Punz that was a little too fast, a little too sudden, and makes sure to call everything a business arrangement, makes sure they're mercenary and client, makes sure to suppress any little trace of attachment that could get either of them hurt. And, even now, even after George has gone and left, Dream still loves George; Punz isn't too blind to reality to miss it. And they had kinder days together, back before everything went wrong; there were no kinder days for Punz, and there never had been.

Despite everything, they're two sides of the same coin: wishing for something that is no longer reachable, no longer possible, because things have changed and because people have changed. Because Dream has changed, partially due to the decisions they made, and there isn't anything they can do to go back to how it was. Not truly.

And neither of them really care about anything or anyone else. They're not here to fight for ideals or morals, they just want to keep the people they love safe and away from the people who would want to hurt them. They are willing to kill for it, but, because of who Dream is, and because that would put them in danger, they can't. They're not allowed to, explicitly in Punz's case, implicitly by Dream pushing George away. Because Dream wants to keep the people he cares about safe, and that can't happen if it looks like he cares about them or vice versa.

(It's only okay if Dream's the one getting hurt, after all)

I've been working on assigning f1 drivers to mario kart characters (if you have any additional suggestions pls let me know):

Lando Norris: He is so princess daisy to me it's ridiculous. a) orange b) a diva

Oscar Piastri: Clearly yoshi. he is just the Standard Guy so much. I mean this with love.

Lance Stroll: I believe this man to be Roy Koopa. His dad is bowser, need I say more.

Kimi Antonelli: Baby luigi. Depending on how he performs this season he may be promoted to baby mario

Esteban Ocon: Clearly I'm biased howeverrr I do think he's princess rosalina bc he is misunderstood and also very tall

Liam Lawson: Toad. This guy is so toad. 50% of people think he's the most annoying man in the world but most of what he's done is just Be There

Jack Doohan: Larry Koopa. Yeah you don't know who that guy is. Yeah. Sorry

Fernando Alonso: He is Wario and I think he'd enjoy that. I'm not implying he smells like onions I'm just implying he's short and enjoys being evil

Max Verstappen: Shy Guy. Barely even has a physical form, just here to race.

George Russel: Ok hear me out he is Villager (male). Just look at those biblically accurate eyes and tell me I'm wrong.

Ollie Bearman: Inkling Girl. Who is this divaaaa

(and, ok, not current grid but I had to squeeze him in: Nico Rosberg is princess peach. blonde bitch solidarity)

June Harris interview with the Beatles, DISC magazine (25 May 1963) [From 28 April - 9 May: Paul, George and Ringo holidayed in Tenerife with Klaus Voorman and Astrid Kirchherr, whereas John and Brian Epstein holidayed in Barcelona/Torremolinos.]

Just over a week ago The Beatles got back from a great holiday in the Canary Isles and Spain - but you'll never believe how close the four of them came to becoming a duo! For George Harrison and Paul McCartney both had incredibly narrow escapes from drowning!

The boys told me all about it when I met them in their manager's London office last week, and although they treated it as a huge joke it couldn't have been very funny at the time.

"I got the worst end of the deal,” said Paul McCartney, who had gone to Tenerife with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, while John Lennon went to Spain with manager Brian Epstein.

"I left George and Ringo on the beach and went for a swim. When I got past a reef the waves started looking murderous, so I turned back but got washed out. I started waving frantically to the boys, but they just grinned back.

"Suddenly, I felt miserable: here was everything just happening and no Paul McCartney to share in the benefits. I whacked the hell out of them when I eventually got back on the beach!"

"As for me, I got my foot caught in a rock," said George, "and I can hardly swim at all! Those currents look a darn sight more dangerous when you think you're drowning. Ringo wouldn't have laughed so much if it had happened to him!"

Surprisingly, most of the time The Beatles had bad weather. But this didn't deter them from having a real ball.

"We stayed with some German friends - well, what decent hotel would have us," said Ringo. "And we hired a car, a Hillman Minx, but your readers can be told it was a Rolls Bentley.

"We drove all round the island, which is about three feet square, decided there wasn't enough room for all of us, and dropped George on top of a mountain!"

"That bit about me on top of the mountain is quite true," admitted George. "When it's cloudy on the island, you drive up the mountain and through the cloud. When you reach the top the sky is a fabulous colour blue, and the sun just beats down on you.

"We didn't take coats or anything, because everyone said the weather would be just great. But when we got out at Barcelona airport we had to start searching for the sun. Then we were told our flight to Tenerife had been cancelled because of bad weather. We tried to make the receptionist understand that they just couldn't have bad weather there, but all she did was direct us to the nearest hotel. We finally arrived in the Canaries a day later."

They still managed to get in some sunbathing, however, and have returned with gloriously tanned bodies and white faces (which they couldn't explain).

On one occasion they attended a bullfight. This gave rise to a particularly colourful scene in their London office, with three of them playing matador, picador and bull.

"They make this big production scene, even when the most frightened of amateur matadors comes on," said Ringo. "The trumpets play, and everyone shouts 'ole,' and if the matador shows a yellow streak they start throwing Coca-Cola bottles at him. [...] When the star bullfighter comes on there's as much fuss as if it's Cliff appearing on the Palladium. Finally, this bloke managed to stab the bull a couple times and then, just when you thought it was dead, it stuck its face on one side and groaned!"

Apart from making a financial bid for the island, the three Beatles came home laden with the usual kind of presents for the family.

George Harrison bought a new, washable suede coat, Paul McCartney some shirts, but Ringo pipped the lot of them, buying 36 china bulls, a dozen swords and some toreador miniatures.

But they were still relieved to get home. "Next time we'll go somewhere in the sun," they said. "Maybe somewhere like the Caribbean!"

I don’t know what world we’re living in but I love it

i feel like i didn't really say anything publicly which makes me sound maybe too harsh at times but this is where i'm at. sorry i was too lazy to retype all of this so i'm just sharing screenies of my thoughts !

[colourful-void]

umineko sliding scale as of rn for me to how sympathetic i find each character (not necessarily how much i like, just like. i get where they're coming from) as of right now bcs theres like a bunch more of the story so its bound to change.

"i was born to understand your visions" -> maria and shannon "i really feel for you here" -> natsuhi and kanon "yeah, i get it" -> kumasawa, jessica, kirie "parts of you i cannot resonate with, but others i am either compelled by or can understand" -> battler and rosa "no paticular thoughts" -> genji, the doctor i forgot his name, "more of you i dont sympathize with than i do, but there's still elements" -> eva, hideyoshi "you're gonna have to show me something more for me to understand where you're coming from" -> gohda, krauss, rudolf "i dont sympathize with you (as i understand you now.) -> george and kinzo

beatrice exists outside the scale bcs i dont understand anything shes got going on but i am compelled. maybe once let sjust let her win i wanna see where this goes

dream calling george’s fart perfect and always giggling when he chews loudly into a mic. the gross parts aren’t gross because he loves him so bad

there was this one scene in an old tv show i used to watch where one of the main characters was going to get married but then she realised the guy wasn't the one for her because she saw this old couple at the hospital she worked at where the wife was picking out the sleep crust from her husband's eyes for him and the girl just couldn't imagine doing that for her soon to be husband and every time I think of that scene I think of dnf and how they would pick the sleep crust from each others eyes

[superhousecat-once-again]

I think overhearing someone talking about their ttrpg game and chiming in with ‘you do know they’re not real, right?’ is an insanely rude thing to do, like what point do you think you’re making? You think I’m not aware that I’m playing pretend? You think that because it’s pretend I’m not supposed to be excited about it? Go away???

See I really like to imagine semi crack AUs where Pharma doesn’t get yeeted at Delphi (idk they imprison him on the LL or something) and somehow Pharma ends up meeting Optimus because like. Listen. Optimus is “I can fix him: the character” and it would be so fucking funny for Pharma to go crying to Optimus like “blease i’m not a bad Autobot :(((( I did war crimes because I was forced to!” and Optimus listens to this whole story about the DJD and turns to Ratchet and is like: “you told Pharma that he was dead to you? You were going to just let him fall off the edge? that’s not the Autobot way :(((( “ and the whole time Pharma is sobbing into Optimus’ chest periodically stopping to smirk at Ratchet from underneath Optimus’ window tits. This scenario is immensely fucking funny to me and I can’t stop thinking about it.
