What ever you do don't think about Percy reading Estelle a little kid version of 'The Odyssey' because that's what Sally read to him but he doesn't want to scare her. Don't imagine Sally looking on with guilt in her eyes cus she HAD to read him the real one so he knew what to expect. Don't think about Sally looking down on her little girl with tears in her eyes cus she doesn't need to worry about snakes in her bed or teachers being Cyclopes. Don't think of Sally seeing Estelle with Paul and having to leave the room cus when Percy was that age they had Gabe. Don't think of the unimaginable guilt that Sally must feel for being relieved that Estelle's biggest battle at 16, is her Dad being her teacher. And whatever you do don't think about Percy feeling like an outsider in his own family even though he gets constantly reassured that he's part of it and loved.

I personally hc that Elliott's long hair is important to him because it represents doing what he wants to do and not what is expected of him- also it's very pretty but it's more about the Symbolism.

It’s Mimi’s birthday today. 

You and Sakusa have had quite the rollarcoaster up the years. Well it’s  not weird when you have been together since you were 15. Young dumb teenagers with some stupid dreams. 

But here you stood. The both of you had pursued the careers of your dreams and you were where you wanted to be at 27. 

12 years is what it took for Sakusa to realize he had his dream right in front of him all the time. Don’t get me wrong. he loves volleyball and his successful career in it, but he realized that you were far more important than some sport.

The way Mimi loved, wasn’t ideal to alot of people. You however knew how much he adored and cherished you. Wether it be those loving gazes he couldn’t for the life of him get away from. he loved looking at you. admiring your every move, the way you did things with such ease or how he would silently pull you closer to him, snuggling closer to you. (I’m convinced he would live inside you if he could)

He loved seeing your towel next to his. He loved seeing your books and papers scattered all over your home office. He loved hearing the sound of the door opening and closing when you got home. He loved the smell your perfume left in the bathroom. 

He adored the small things in life and the feeling of being pulled back into reality that he was in fact dating pure perfection. Or so he would always say whenever someone asked. 

Mimi isn’t the type of person to celebrate his bitrthday, he did it mostly for you. It wasn’t a party or outing of sort. Most of the day you would just chill at home, enjoying each others company, probably go out at night. Like some adventurous teenagers. 

The amout of times the two of you would get ice cream or sodas and just run and walk around town, in alley ways and hidden spots. 

He wouldn’t trade any of this for the entire world. Even if you’re almost in your thirties, you are still in that sweet honeymoon phase all silly lovesick teenagers enter when they get into their first relationship.

Though now you two respect each other as people and not some silly crush and thats how you know this love will last more than a life time.

I frequently refer to my personal LGBT stuff as "gay shit" or "homofag bullshit" because for all my life so much of the non-heterosexual experience has been being defined as something gross/nasty/wrong throughout my life that I just can't let people forget it at this point.

I work with a guy born in '98 or so who thinks pretending to be gay is an honestly hilarious joke because he doesn't know who Matthew Shepard was. And that's one of the first things related to the word "gay" that I ever learned about.

It's just a generation gap, man. No way around it.

One time when Tweek’s having a lot of trouble with his shirt buttons those in CATG that have buttons will stand in solidarity with Tweek and unbutton their clothes to purposely wrongly button them back up to make Tweek feel better. Then they just keep it that way for the rest of the day

always good to remind oneself that it is always an option to simply block and ignore people who are being Weird To You on your posts. it is never necessary to engage. If It Sucks Hit Da Bricks.

Feeling some kind of indescribable emotion thinking about my family and how physically and emotionally distant we've become...

It's tough because my family is so close-knit and I grew up really close with my siblings and cousins. We went through so much together. So much pain and abuse and loss. I remember making a pact once with one of my cousins that when we were old enough we would rent a trailer and live together and I would take care of the cooking (because I was 12 and I had learnt how to cook Kraft Dinner for my younger siblings)

But then we got older and nobody took the same path I did...I went to university, which nobody in my family had done before. 8 of my cousins and 2 of my siblings didn't even finish high school.

I craved adventure and I traveled as much as I could using money from my part-time job in highschool. I got myself to New York and Mexico.

I moved to a city only a 1-hour drive away from my family for university. Nobody ever once came to visit me. Nobody was ever curious about my life or asked what school was like. They could never remember my major (English literature). Not even my own mother. All they would do is taunt me for getting "turned liberal" and for not making as much money as them

When I graduated I got a job in Japan. Nobody has ever come to visit me. My mother actually told me she doesn't want to come. I don't know....I guess the hubris in me thought experiencing my absence would make my family appreciate me more. That wasn't the case.

They stopped contacting me. My mother and father can go literally 6 months or more without answering any of my messages. Nobody calls, nobody helped pay for my flight the first time I went home for a visit and nobody made time to come see me.

It's like I just lifted right out of everyone's lives. They're still living in the same area we grew up, getting married, having babies, posting transphobic comments on Facebook.

We aren't in each other's lives anymore. It's for the best. But I still find myself wondering why...why am I the one who is different...why did I take the path nobody who I've ever loved can follow? Is it some fundamental part of my character? Would I be the same if I had been born in another time? Or would I be married with children and miserable?

Am I happy now? Why am I so alone? I try so hard but relationships and friendships pass me by like changing seasons...

I don't think I have felt truly "loved" by anyone my entire life. I always knew I was different. I knew I was destined to leave. It's just hard coming to terms with the fact that my absence doesn't impact anyone at all; it never has and never will.

I am insubstantial.

Truly the only downside of having a pixie cut is in the event of a mental breakdown I simply don't the option of cutting my own hair or giving myself bangs like the whole head is bangin

How small must the world be for both Bruce and Tim to witness John and Mary Grayson's deaths

Or for 10-year-old Duke to crack the Riddler's puzzle before Batman swoops in and saves the day, long before his powers came into play

Or for Sheila Haywood to leave her son only to end up assisting his killer a decade and a half later

Not to mention the popular fanon concept of Jason knowing baby Damian in the League of Assassins

Now imagine how many other invisible strings could've tied them together

Like what if Tim and Jason went to the same school when Jason was Robin but all they shared was the occasional bump and "excuse me" in the busy halls

Or what if Babs was a tutor and helped an elementary-aged Steph finally understand her homework only for the Browns to cancel after a couple sessions because they couldn't afford it

What if the first person to buy Cass a hot meal was Kate on one of her travels

What if Alfred witnessed young Selina shoplifting groceries but chose to turn a blind eye

What if Jason lived on the same streets as the Row siblings and gave little Harper tips on how to use tools and defend her brother

What if Steph and Duke shared the same school bus, only he sat in the front while she was toward the back

What if the first person to teach Tim how to tie his shoes was Bruce at a gala because Jack and Janet were busy talking to someone important

What if Bette did a DNA test for fun and found a connection in Nanda Parbat but just assumed the results was faulty because she knew her whole family, right?

What if 8-year-old Dick, the day before his parents died, stayed at a cheap hotel near Crime Alley and found 4-year-old Jason wandering alone and said, "I'll be your big brother for tonight"

What if the universe knew they were made for each other and wouldn't rest until they realized it too
