So true, so true

It seems like all the big (IE recognizable) Dreamtale AUs are just... incest. Dreamswap, Swapdream, Leviathantale. I hold Shattered Dream above all of them simply because it's not an incest au. And it's really sad the bar is so low.

I hope there are new big Dreamtale AUs, one were Dream does get to be a villain, or Nightmare can grow up without corruption, or literally anything without the fucking incest!

Swapdream Nightmare my beloved, they will never make me hate you no matter what. You and your brother deserved better than just being another weird ass version of the twins for incest purposes.

We could have a great take of the twins, a new whole face for Dream and Nightmare BUT NOOOOOO.

Smh.

just giddy from thinking of steve and eddie kissing softly and hungrily, heart’s fluttering <<33 who do you think leads smooches session most of the time?

Eddie definitely initiates most smooch sessions, but only because Steve is still learning that asking for a kiss doesn't mean he's being needy, that it's not annoying if he holds Eddie's hand and kisses him just because he wants to.

Steve has been told in many past relationships that he asks for too much and is overly affectionate. A girl once told him that holding her by the waist looked possessive and needy. He'd walked stiffly by her side for the rest of the date. Eddie's helping Steve realise that it's ok to wrap his arm Eddie's shoulders while they're out, that it's okay to kiss his cheek whenever he feels like it and that wanting to cuddle during a movie isn't asking for too much.

Steve is getting better at kissing Eddie without doubting himself beforehand. He plops down in Eddie's lap and kisses him until they are both breathless, flushed and smiling at each other like fools in love.

When Eddie asks, "What was that for?"

Steve shrugs and says, "I just wanted to kiss you."

Eddie's never been prouder.

how would joel react to jimmy initiating a kiss? I feel like it’d contrast heavily with Joel’s very forceful style - him hesitating in the middle of the kissing motion and joel being like what the fuck are you doing.

Joel would be like haha what are you gay. You're right though yeah, Joel would probably pick up on what's happening but very very poorly feign ignorance ("what the fuck are you doing") because he's totally not gay, he totally doesn't know what's happening and he totally doesn't want this kiss, gosh Jimmy is totally weird. He might keep the act up depending on how Jimmy's acting as well but then as soon as he's left to his own devices he's going to panic over it. Alternatively or in a scenario where they're slightly less new to this, Joel would give in but then break away like "you're weird" or "I have a wife" and Jimmy would be like haha ok and then they kiss some more and Joel would keep treating it like its just some joke or bit (Jimmy probably pretty quickly realizes its not because Joel isn't doing a good job pretending anything) but it doesn't bother him (at least at this point in time) so he doesn't address it explicitly. He'd probably still become hesitant to initiate a kiss a lot of the time and Joel would still have strong reactions or be a little fuck about it

hiii i wonder if you keep up with vb? if yes, what’s up with all the giannelli and jannik jokes 😭 not anything malicious btw! just about giannelli not tagging jannik and other lighthearted jokess

Oh hello anon! There's not much to tell, really, mostly those are just jokes. They followed each other before, but they don't anymore since 2021 I think?😔 that's why people make jokes about them having beef or Simone not tagging him (ig he didn't tag him when Team Italy won DC, he tagged other players but not him I think?💀). But idt they have any problems with each other really ahah

They ARE my roman empire and I hope we get more interactions BTW. Simone Giannelli DID agree to a tennis match back in 2022 (the video is in italian, but for context for anyone reading: Simone Giannelli is the team captain of the italian national volleyball team, but his father is a tennis instructor, Simone played it for quite a while and was kind of good at it, if his opinion is to be trusted. So, basically, Simone Giannelli:Tennis=Jannik Sinner:Skiing, they always bring it up in every interview). AND Simone congratulated him for winning Australian Open (he had just won a tournament with his team btw. literally posted during the celebrations probably. okay.) AND on the atp finals win this year (with a dig to his haters too. what a man. click on alt text for the translation)

All in all he IS a big fanboy!! I'm sure I've heard him mention Jannik in interviews too. Plus, they come from the same region (Trentino Alto-Adige)... so there's that.

look i know lots of people have said this but i think one thing that homestuck does well when it can be bothered to is allowing women to be fucked up and awful and complex and bizarre. like. even when they’re not the protagonists. even when they’re unsympathetic. even when they’re ambiguously the protagonists. even when they decide to make themselves the protagonists. yeah anyway this post is abt vris

This very good post made me think about how I, a cis femme bi woman, do not generally want to be perceived as straight, but also struggle to integrate that with my presentation sometimes. But there are a lot of things I feel (subtly?) indicate queerness, though a lot of them overlap with comfort and general personal preference:

My hair is always either short (I cut it myself or take a picture of Ben Whishaw as Q to the hairdresser) or in a "bisexual bob"

All my clothes are colourful; lots of them have rainbows on them. And in spring and autumn, I love wearing double denim with lots of pins (and I'm working on an embroidered back piece for my jacket).

A lot of what I wear is thrifted or homemade; I care about looking "put together" but more in the sense that my outfit is fun and cohesive than that I'm following fashion rules. I think what it comes down to is aiming for personality, not pretty?

When I wear makeup, I rarely go for the subtle natural look, and I pretty much never wear foundation. Autostraddle told me a bare face with a bold lip is queer one time, which is handy because I like lipstick and foundation gives me spots.

For eye makeup I tend to do a simple cat-eye or just a line of gold shimmer. I don't know if this is a thing?

Short nails 😏

I'm trying to wear more weird jewellery and accessories

Things that would probably make me look queerer:

Visible tattoos (not gonna happen, doesn't feel like me)

Hair dyed a more noticeable colour, or maybe just a dyed section (have done this in the past; can't be bothered with the upkeep)

or not dyeing my hair and giving into how grey I'm going (no. ask me again in five years)

Including more masc elements in my outfits (I think I'd like to try bow ties, but I just haven't felt good dressing butch lately. I used to like it though.)

More pins

A more brightly coloured handbag (this I can do)

Anyway, I'm really curious whether other people read those things as queer, and I'd love to know what other people who don't feel they automatically read as queer do to signal their queerness!

sorry about that last rambling post, i didnt mean to sound like its worse than it may be, but i got no ... lense to view it through but my own, and the main reason i wrote it out anyway was bc i needed to get it out (even if posting it might be not the greatest idea) .. and bc it kinda showcases, i think, how my stories kinda write themselves, involuntarily in a way? its not like im not putting in any effort- but its like .. i cant STOP it always keeps going and even the dumbest idea stays in some form, its very hard to get everything in place bc theres so much going on all the while i am very slow at making anything, writing or drawing anything, especially anythign coherent is very hard bc not only do i get constantly distracted, i get distracted by my own thoughts suddendly skipping to a certain scene and me having to go throguh imagining in detail NO MATTER how many times i have done it before for the same scene that i already decided on how it goes, when theres a new idea it can take over my entire day bc i cant let go of it-

not trying to sound either like im the only that has that sort of problem, but i think its a big part as of why i start tso many projects without being able to finish them, or even start them bc i constantly have to fight my own thoughts from derailing into another daydream session, thinking of too much too fast than i can ever draw or even write about and not knowing what is worthwhile and what isnt (im telling you i have no idea what is good and what isnt, idk why but for all i know all things i do could be trash, or they all could be bad, maybe the one i thinnk is decent is actually worse than the things i deem not good enough and once i start to think no this isnt good enough i stop having fun making or thinking it bc im trying to do better

honestly its kind of impressive that i can get anything out at all, not to pat myself on the back there but even if i hate how long it takes me, considering how much im having to work just to start working on something at all, the fact that i could post stuff coherent enough for some people to understand AND LIKE is something i should be a little more proud of

What if Vanny was trapped in the PQ4 machine

Vanessa, or at least some piece of her, was trapped in the PQ machines in the Pizzaplex, and defeating Glitchtrap is what set those pieces of her free. But after that, if Vanny is still around, what happened to her? Maybe they had to swap places, Vanessa regaining full control of her body, while Vanny was banished to the Princess Quest machines.

Much like Vanessa, defeating the last remains of Glitchtrap were her ticket out, but she didn't have the ability to do so since he was out in the AR/VR world, which Vanny couldn't access from inside the machines. So, she got us to bring Glitchtrap to her, made us collect his plushies, lure him, and us, into a false sense of security, so she could finally destroy his pathetic life once and for all and free herself.

She hadn't done anything before PQ4 because she was incapable of doing anything while trapped, but now that she's free, she can do whatever she pleases.

Her backing away into the darkness wasn't just to add to the creepiness of the scene, her wave wasn't just a small thank you for helping her defeat Glitchtrap- she's thanking us for helping set her free, walking away and exiting the machine, while we're none the wiser to what, or who, we've just released.

"it's a fair trade" Defeating one evil, only to release another.

During S6-E5, starting with Tommy meeting Diana at the narrowboat, how he gets back to Arrow, that particular Dinner, through to Tommy returning home after dropping Jack Nelson off at the train.

Tommy was running out of women who didn’t look like other women. If Lizzie found out, he’d have only redheads left to fuck in his old age.

No. No old age. Only this.

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

I'm thinking about Dahlia and Iris again. I'm thinking about how Iris had to bury her sister four times in her life and never got the chance to say goodbye once.

Thinking about we don't really know what happened in the Terry Fawles case, because we only hear about it from Dahlia's lips (and why should she tell us the truth? She owes us nothing), and how possible it is that Iris was there when he first started tutoring them, was there when he began "falling for" her sister, was there and was so kind and sweet and vulnerable that all it would have taken for her to have been his victim instead of Dahlia was a slight turn of the head, a little look to the side, and how Dahlia could not allow that to happen.

Thinking about how Dahlia's first death -- the death of Dahlia Hawthorne as Iris Hawthorne's sister -- comes with the death of Iris Hawthorne herself by Dahlia's own two hands, because it is the only way; two halves dying as a whole to save one of them. Thinking about how Dahlia's next step was to kill "Dahlia Hawthorne", because she has no use for that name unless it ties her to her sister. Thinking of how she goes back to Iris for that, offers her the chance to do to Dahlia what Dahlia did to her and free them both, at last, from this horrible, poisonous family so they can just be together again, whole again, sisters again, just the two of them, like it has been from the beginning. And Iris wants that so badly, she agrees, but she can't do it, because she is good, and kind, and they aren't alone anymore, because Iris has Sister Bikini now, and maybe things can be different. But they can't. Thinking of how the second time Dahlia Hawthorne dies, she dies with her hatred of her sister burning her tongue, but then she climbs out of that river reborn and loves her all over again, because she can't stop. It's her sister, and maybe things can be better now that Dahlia Hawthorne is dead, and it isn't perfect, but she's free of all the people who hurt her, and she still has Iris.

And it is better. For five years. And then her past catches up with her, and Dahlia Hawthorne comes back with a vengeance, and, this time, she isn't going away. Thinking about how, no matter how hard they pushed her, no matter how easy it would have been to fabricate a story about the girl at Hazakura Temple and how it was her who was at the bridge that day, Dahlia never breaks, never breathes a word about her sister because she won't do that to her. Thinking of how Dahlia is reminded of Iris's "betrayal" and immediately chooses to trust her again anyway. And thinking of Iris, and how she becomes "Dahlia" in her third life -- becomes a person who is openly resilient and smart and loyal and loving and is Iris but is her sister as well, and she can't tell how much of her is whom. Thinking of how the third time Dahlia dies, it is as a direct result of Iris's actions and inaction. Thinking of how Iris believes that this time, the time it truly matters, Dahlia's death is at her hands, and she has finally fulfilled her role as her sister's executioner. Thinking of how Dahlia's third death is also the death of Iris, but, this time, neither of them are saved, and Iris is left with the only part of her that is truly her own: weakness.

Then, at last, the final time. The time Dahlia says she never loved Iris, but still calls herself her "other half"; and the time Iris isn't allowed to speak of her sister, both narratively and mechanically because you're never allowed to ask her about Dahlia, but still manages to push through and say that she loves her, she always has. The time when they meet on the mountains, and, for a few moments, it's just them again, like it has been from the start, and it's almost as if Dahlia hasn't died and Iris has come like she promised and things are going to be okay. Almost, but it isn't. And so, Dahlia dies for the final time, again in a place far from Iris, where her sister never has the chance to say goodbye, but it isn't the end. Because Phoenix is here, and Dahlia's final death has returned to Iris what her third death took away, and she is finally, finally able to tell the truth. And the truth, as they say, sets her free. Because Phoenix tells her that the death of Dollie was not the death of Iris. Because she has always been smart, and kind, and resilient, and loyal, and more. Because he recognises her when they meet again. Because she is, and has always been, the person he thought she was. Because she has always been Iris, even when she was Dahlia.

And so, Dahlia's final death does precisely for her sister what her first death did all those years ago, but it goes further, too. Because Iris is now not only free.

She is whole.
