#stuff that was over our heads

[sunflawyer]

i adore selfshippers who have such a deep lore story for their s/i & ship because to be honest mine is filled with domestic lovey dovey stuff like us being emotional at our son's first day at the daycare or him telling me to take a bath together ... ⚖️🌻... 😭

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

ughhhhh so probably the tgcf scene i think the most about is in the final battle when hua cheng is holding xie lian and backwards gripping eming with his other hand i . god. this is referenced off of The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel (i’m pretty sure everyone has seen it by this point) which is surprisingly pretty topical for tgcf.

So I don't buy for a second that Derek would have ever forgotten about the marriage pact, not even a little bit.

I think he absolutely remembered it and it was heavy on his mind at the beginning of his Step 4 -- not because he thought it could actually happen, but because he knew it couldn't, that it never would.

Like he's 13, he can't bring himself to tell you that he likes you or to try to ask you out, so he comes up with the idea for the marriage pact, right? And in his 13-year-old brain, that works. That's something to go on, something to get him towards the ultimate goal of marrying you and living happily ever after.

But then he gets older. Time goes by, and as he starts to understand more about adult relationships, he really begins to understand that that just isn't how it works at all.

And I think he'd be kind of embarrassed by it? Like ashamed of himself to think that his dumb little idea could ever lead to a happy ending with you. And that HURTS.

Basically this whole thing is just to say that I think he would really beat himself up HARD over the years about the marriage pact and about how foolish it was for him to hope that things could work out like that. Triple points if you go the route of shrugging off the pact when you talk to him about it on the balcony in Step 4 -- like it's him alone in his room with you so close but so, so far, and you laughing it off was just proof that he's always been an idiot, that he's never deserved you.

hello :) could you maybe explain a little bit how dan wootton blackmailed louis?

ugh sorry for taking a while to get to this. The problem is I feel like the only two ways to answer this are by spending a week and a half of full time labor sifting through old posts and evidence to get every detail right and lay out an airtight case, or to halfass something very serious, and so I felt a little stuck. So since I can't seem to find a good halfway point, apologies but here is the half assed version, if you want to get into it more I invite you to do your own deep dive or talk to other people, but here's how I remember things. Louis has almost never on video explicitly said things about Larry not being real and/or anything negative about fans and their theories (mostly the opposite), up until the last couple years when he obviously decided to make a major change he didn't talk about Freddie much at all let alone saying he was his kid, honestly not that much about Eleanor even; except for in two major interviews with Dan Wootton, each of which lined up with a serious traumatic Tomlinson family event that they managed to keep out of the tabloids until the very end (Jay's illness and Fizzy's struggles with substance abuse). After the fact of those events a lot of small things that didn't make sense at the time came together to look very much like Louis traded those interviews (and those answers) for having his family's private matters kept private. Story trading of this kind is a publicly known real thing that happens, and there were various clues that suggested he was being leaned on about those stories to lend legitimacy to the idea that it was something that happened in these cases. Given what we know about Dan Wootton and how he operates even before the recent flood of information and even more now, I think it's more than likely that he has been holding the threat of outing Louis (as he has done to many other public figures) over his head for over a decade, and has used his family's tragic struggles to get Louis to dance like a fucking puppet for him and I will REJOICE at his downfall when it comes whether it is now or 20 years from now... because someday it will, he has made too many enemies to stay above it forever

It really sucks being the only one in the house that cares about something. Like, I get it's trivial, which is why I don't say anything, but god damn.

I want so badly to just stand in the middle of the living room and say "you have your own goddamn dishes. Please stop using mine."

it's just so fucking annoying to go into the cabinet to grab something and it's not there, because it's in the sink covered in gross remnants of food and germy dishwater. And I have a few things that have special significance or sentimental value to me that I'd rather not get touched at all but I have nowhere else but the kitchen to put them. Even sticking them in a separate cabinet away from everything like them hasn't helped. Stocking the main cabinet with things that are just as useful that I care less about doesn't help. All I want to do is scream at them HANDS OFF. GRAB SOMETHING ELSE. but the two things I'm most pissed off about aren't even fragile or expensive. their cheapness was actually kind of the point. their sole purpose is for a tradition my sister and I have and every time I see them dirty and thrown carelessly on the counter or in the sink I want to fucking scream.

you know what I’ve realized lately? that’s really helped? the axiom: it just doesn’t really make that much of a difference. Or at least it doesn’t when you’re talking about good things and not, like, doing good vs. doing evil. Big choices, little choices, decisions, decisions —it’s not just that they don’t matter in the grand scheme of things—because they do! —but just. It won’t make that big of a difference. Life will continue to be wonderful AND difficult, fascinating AND hopelessly mundane, full of roses AND thorns and all the other cliches whether you walk down one road or another. And you’ll get used to the joys and sick of the sorrows whatever they are, and you’ll be ungrateful and bored and dissatisfied in some measure some of the time and you’ll have to work on all the things you have to work on anyways and just. Yeah! It doesn’t make that big of a difference! Even the biggest things!

It's been a while since Arthur's encountered something obviously cursed and decided to walk directly towards it. Glad to see nothing's changed
