#so this is for after everyone came back

[lightsiided]

‘what happened here?’

* thor starters | accepting

     to explain it all would take a LIFETIME. it seems like a small amount of time in theory -- five years -- but for rey, and the others who remained, it felt like an eon. even thor, for whom years pass by as quick as breaths, would likely say this period of time has been grueling, if asked.

"honestly... we didn't have many happy moments here." new asgard is a lovely place, of course. the people have always been welcoming to rey, happier to see her than thor ever seemed to be. but that never HELPED. few things did. "these years were hard on thor."

she winces as soon as the words leave her lips. what a stupid thing to say -- as if they weren't hard on sigyn. as if she wouldn't have preferred to be here struggling alongside thor. as if her life isn't exponentially more difficult NOW that she's returned. rey dips her chin, wondering if she should apologize. they don't know each other well, yet, and admittedly... rey has been unsure how to approach talking to her. she has a history with thor; they've known each other a long time. she was around far before rey was.

and they share the same grief. grief rey knows she will never understand. she never knew her family -- mourning their LOSS was different. less terrible, probably, than saying goodbye to someone you loved, who loved you in return. maybe that's why she's had such a hard time trying to find the words that will comfort thor. maybe sigyn will have better luck.

things have been better, since the others came back, but not the same. they still feel odd, the fractures in their relationship too fragile to just patch over. so some time apart might be good for them. thor seems to think so, at least, or he wouldn't be planning to go. rey tries not to let the thought turn BITTER. he needs this time to himself, she knows. she wants to let him have that, no matter how hard it is on her.

still, she won't be sad to leave this house behind. even cleared of beer bottles, with the windows open to let the light in... it depresses her. it is a reminder of some of their worst moments, and she DOESN'T desire to live in them, anymore. well aware that she's hardly answered the question, rey turns back to sigyn. "what will you do, now? with thor on his travels. i'm sure they'd be happy to have you here, but... well, you'd be welcome with me, too. though i can't say it will be very fun."

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

i finished it, was kicked out of the game, and then spent the next 10 minutes drawing this. i will now go take a shower, most likely cry, and then go through the emotional turmoil of convincing myself to reset so i can do a geno run. i hate it here :D

sleep deprived dust can't recognize what's dream and what's real when he goes in and out of consciousness so i think dust is allowed to be incredibly reckless when he's awake but thinks he's in a dream. he will kill whoever passes by him (or attempt to. for him it's an instict to shoot bones anyways.) he will drink 4 bottles of alcohol just because he thinks its just a lucid dream. have incredibly loud conversations with phantom paps because he's asleep so nobody will hear him talk. or just have loud ass breakdowns because again he thinks he's asleep!!! nobody's gonna know what he gets up to in his dreams. and until someone (probably phantom paps) tells him that he's not asleep and this is reality he won't realize until he's done something really reckless

horror is seconds away from exploding dust's skull open with his magic while dust is trying to strangle him and FINALLY phantom paps tells him he's awake and dust snaps out of it. killer is walking around the house with bones sticking out of him like pins on a sewing pattern (casually too. another day in the life for him) and he just asks dust what that was about. dust just gets off of horror and shrugs his shoulders with an idk. and then walks away. this is the 6th time its happened this month

The cape wrapping was too much for me I have to leave

do you think the reason agatha’s trial felt weird is because she was the only one who did not actually buy into the mythos of the road since she knew the truth? like that was why no perspective change and all the other reasons why people thought it was a fake trial

Think it’s underrated how when five was in the apocalypse and all he had was Viktors book to cling on to remember the family. It wasn’t a happy book. In 60 years as memories faded and deteriorated, what could have became memories tinted by nostalgia into something happier was grounded by the only physical remnant of them left. A sad book that realistically talks about how broken the family was. A book where the wallflower of the family drills into the cracks of the public images.

Pike and Scanlan getting married: I'm not into this but it's the end of the campaign. It's easy enough to let it go and move on. Pike indicating she and Scanlan are amicably divorced: The knowledge that it didn't work out adds a bittersweet angle to the marriage that actually makes me like it more now. Whatever the fuck Pike and Scanlan have going on now: This is a glorious disaster and I want like a million episodes of this.

met a really cool queer stranger today that i thought was just so fucking neat i wanted to talk but if we were playing tennis they were, with the most gentle and earnest voice ive ever heard, shoving the tennis racket down my throat. every compliment or joke i made was turned away but in the sweetest way possible that made me sound like an absolute asshole lunatic. it was so scary.

[skunkes]

the bad: i have been raised without much warmth from my parents in childhood, but also pressured to conform to familial authority, doubt myself always, and value familial connections above all else (<- failed at this, and feel guilt about it.)

but also in experiencing this i have been so isolated from the entire rest of the world and others, that it will be nearly impossible to create my own "family" -> find safety and comfort in anybody else once my family is Gone. despite dis i find it really difficult to break away from the familiar, disobey and disappoint, because, well, why are my wishes more important than anybody else's. why would I cause upset and distress in anybody, and exert so much effort into my doubt filled half decisions, for my meaningless little Wishes. being away would also mean less time with these people who I'll never see again once they're gone. being raised this way is definitely paying off for those who did so.

the good: yaaaay adjacent inspiration for writing talon lore

Let's not treat Emily like she is somehow a threat to David/Matt, please. She is a very well written, complicated and interesting character who deserves to be acknowledged more than just "threatening a yaoi ship".

She is going through a lot and she does not deserve to be hated on just because she's not playing the demure, meek girl who lets people step on her. She's been manipulated, betrayed and dragged through Hell, her flipping her shit is completely understandable.

And she does not deserve to be treated badly when fucking Matt Grotto betrayed, lied to, neglected and STABBED the guy he was in love with without much (if any) fandom backlash.

Emily deserves so much better treatment and I hope that people come to see her as the wonderfully intricate character she is, instead of just a side character to the "Matt and David Love Story"
