Fiona Apple ֍ Shameika (2020)

I used my feet to crush dead leaves like they had fallen from trees Just for me Just to be crash cymbals

My dog and my man and my music is my holy trinity

I'm pissed off, funny and warm I'm a good man in a storm

The limbi have started a war... IKEA, Belladonna, Sheer, Shameika, and Jade think they should be allowed to play mildly loud music during the day, while Aldis, Time, Mallow, Slate, and Raiden heavily disagree. I'll keep you all updated on how the war goes! (*^▽^*)

do you use your feet to crush dead leaves? do you walk down the windy windy sidewalks slapping your leg w/a riding crop? are your dog, your man, and your music your holy trinity?

I want to hear your thoughts about Orym and Ashton's latest conversation, if you don't mind. Ugh, I can't find the post, but you wrote something along the lines of Orym often wanting to move on from things too fast, to gloss over problems that BH actually need to sit and process over. Him telling Ashton to "not spend time grappling with their demons bcs he needs their hands free to fight" sounds just like it and as sweet as that forehead kiss was, the rest of the talk feels like a soldier pep talk (which very in character).

I do think that's kind of what Ashton needed to hear, though.

So I have to disagree that it's what Ashton needed to hear; I think it's absolutely what Ashton doesn't need to hear. I think this post of mine is relevant.

The thing that got through to Ashton previously was Chetney essentially saying "if you can't keep your shit together enough not to hurt other people, you should leave," but Chetney, notably, still grapples with his demons, or at least his werewolf, concurrently with working with the group.

Again, the thing with Orym is that he is dealing with loneliness and grief, and distracting himself from those by focusing on a mission actually is pretty productive, because Will is irrevocably gone and will not come back so dwelling on that will only hurt. But Ashton does, in fact, need to wake up every morning and say "I see you, self-loathing, and you're going to be there and I'm not going to do stupid things simply because I don't like myself" but that is, in my opinion, an ongoing grappling with demons. Ashton needs to be told "we care about you, and don't fuck it up" but probably should not be told that they need to be there to fight. Again thinking about Chetney as sort of an opposing approach to Orym, but the "hey, if you want out, you can talk to me" and "you're here, that's a start" is far more important than, as you said, the soldier pep talk. Obviously Ashton should not be made to self-flagellate - truly, one cannot self-flagellate one's self out of self-loathing - but "you're allowed to have your demons along with you so long as you do not give into the worst of them" is a much better message than "push that down for now, we need you to fight." A soldier pep talk is not the right approach.

if you had to pick between more girlboss persephone stories or yaoi caesar x brutus song of achilles richard siken type stories what would you choose? *i'm standing next to a lever and there's a suspicious looking trap door beneath u*

I feel like the tragedy of Persephone has been milked enough, let's enjoy a new realm of sin with Brutus and Ceaser as narrated by Richsrd Siken

*the ground vanishes beneath me and i am sent directly to the eighth circle of hell*
