chet thinks that he’s sick and needs to be treated and that he can be cured

sodapop thinks it’s normal and that you’re just supposed to love

Just because the watch was less than 10$ doesn't mean it's disposable. The strap was thinning and stretching where it folds around the watchface pin. Ran some embroidery thread over the loop. Here's hoping i can get this thing to live out a reasonable life span!

Domestic Grimes 2.0 - Richonne sighting

It wasn't unusual to see Rick and Michonne walking their kids to school every morning since their return. But for a while, it was only Rick seeing the kids off to school. Until one morning, the Grimes Family finally emerged with a very rotund mama Michonne.

The doctor finally released Michonne from bed rest. Morning sickness is no fun! Mama and the twins will be fine.

(We knew this was going to happen, right? We weren't surprised. I mean they were going at it like rabbits.....) I'm sure the community wasn't surprised either!

This was inspired by @blacklitchick fic ME & YOU fic where Michonne took a long nap --about an hour and a half nap (due to their mid-morning delight). I was thinking, it could have been that, or ........

Two new WoT theories about Galad, one Watsonian and one Doylistic.

Doylistic: People super underestimate what a minor character Galad actually is, probably because Sanderson promotes him in ToM/AMoL. His first PoV in the RJ books is the KoD prologue, and otherwise he only appears on-page 1) when Rand visits Caemlyn, 2) when Egwene and Nynaeve go to the White Tower, 3) the infamous quarterstaff duel, and 4) when Elayne and Nynaeve run into him in Samara and he's become a Surprise Whitecloak. Everything else is people talking about him! Given the repeated hints he's romantically interested in Egwene and/or Nynaeve that go absolutely nowhere, plus at least one prophecy/viewing that does the same, I think that RJ may have rejigged his role in the story around TFoH.

He's a goldmine of interesting connections to main characters (Rand, Elayne, Egwene) that don't pay off, and when he does take centre stage in ToM it's about his relationship with Morgase (established, significant to him, but SHE is quite a minor character) and a new enemies-to-allies arc with Perrin which...comes out of absolutely nowhere if we're being honest. Perrin already had a Whitecloak to have an enemies-to-allies arc with! He didn't need another one. Justice for Dain Bornhald. RJ kinda moved away from the Arthuriana stuff by mid-series and I think Galad, Walking Arthurian Archetype, suffered from that.

Watsonian: I will make it super-clear that I think everything that follows is because RJ simply wasn't thinking about Galad that hard outside of his role as the Galahad archetype. NEVERTHELESS.

As @butterflydm noted elsewhere, there's not a lot of reason for Galad to be at the White Tower (much less to argue to stay there when Elayne leaves, as he does) and the more I think about it...for someone who is nearly 30, he's extremely adrift from all the normal markers of adulthood and status in his culture. Morgase doesn't appear to have given him any significant responsibilities within Andor, even though he's treated otherwise as her son. He doesn't seem to have inherited estates from Tigraine or Taringail that he could be administering (a la Gareth Bryne in retirement in TFoH). He's arguably in line to be High Seat of either Mantear or Damodred, or even a candidate for the throne of Cairhien, but he's not apparently considered for any of those. Readers are often surprised at how old he is because he's presented as equivalent to Elayne and Gawyn, literal teenagers not yet old enough when the books start to take up their future responsibilities outside of the emergency situations that later occur. Notably, although Galad expresses clear romantic interest in multiple women through the series he's not married or a parent, though again he's more than old enough. (That last is definitely a Galahad-archetype thing.)

So my "canon doesn't support it but canon leaves room for it" new theory is that this is actually on purpose, because like spare sons of royalty before him he's an incredibly tempting target for conspiracies, especially out of Cairhien. He has a close and loving bond with Morgase but she is very politically pragmatic and likely wouldn't want to put him in a situation where he could become the focus of plotting like that. And also...he would righteously report every plot to her unless and until someone managed to convince him that Doing The Thing, whatever it was, was actually the morally correct course of action. Valda achieves this pretty quickly, so it's clearly a possibility!

So, to sum up: Galad is unmarried, uncommitted, and available to be sent to the Tower in TGH because he's too much of a political hot potato to do anything else with. If he was bonded by an Aes Sedai that would probably be a perfect long-term career for him from a political perspective. Ironically puts him in a position, after all these years of Morgase protecting him, to be radicalised by Valda.

If yall would be ok with it, I can probably set up a pretty functional discord for ihs rp, me and some friends have one for twisted wonderland that we absolutely love, though we keep it to long form, but I have a fair bit of experience.

I'm sorry if this is out of line, I was just asking permission before doing anything cuz anxiety and it being yalls world so I don't want to step on toes

Other people are certainly setting up IHS-related RP servers all over so yep, you're absolutely free to do that if you want! You don't have to make it official or anything, folks are completely free to set up something and have people join and RP with their IHS OCs in the IHS universe or whatever if they want.

All we ask is that it's kept SFW please and that anything that belongs to us that is used is done with credit. c: - RJ

I guess what it [Severance] is though, at its heart, is ultimately this kind of compartmentalization on steroids. Ben, at work, are you able to compartmentalize?

[terrancedipp]

chet hates the name sodapop. god he hates it so much. he wants to punch whoever says the name around him (is that normal? is it normal to feel so violent after hearing the mention of someone you hate?)

his body tenses up at the mere mention of sodapop's name. the memories from the previous summer flashing through his mind like a movie sequence. the love, the excitement, the jealousy, and the anger. it all comes back in a rush.

don’t even get him started on when he sees darrel. he knew darrel didn’t like him at first. he tries to forget how darrel played football with him in the backyard. (and darrel tries to forget how it reminds him of playing with paul in high school) he tried to forget how ponyboy one time asked him for homework help. now darrel and ponyboy only ever look at him with hatred.

yet chet still gravitated towards sodapop, even another summer later. maybe that’s why he always got all up in sodapop’s face. maybe that’s why he immediately runs to fight sodapop in the rumble. maybe if sodapop punched him hard enough he could forget about ever liking him. ever liking boys.

and maybe that’s why he didn’t protest to jumping ponyboy, not once, but twice. maybe it’s because he saw the fourteen year old sodapop he played baseball with in the face of ponyboy.

maybe the reason he kept pushing ponyboy into the water was because his face began to distort in a mix of ponyboy and himself. maybe because in the water he saw the fourteen year old chet who was accused of liking boys by chief baker. maybe he wanted to try and kill that little boy. maybe that would make those feelings go away.

maybe if he yelled at anyone who mentioned the name sodapop it would all go away. maybe liking boys would never be a problem. maybe he never even liked boys. he was probably just confused.

he knew that was a lie.

(sorry if this sucks or isn’t proofread, im in the hospital)

I am really happy with how this turned out!
