we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

okay my conspiracy theory:

bobby didn't die 😇 his heart 🫀 just stopped ❌ enough for him to be pronounced 🗣️ dead 💀 but then he woke up 👁️👄👁️ because of his magical 🪄 blood🩸 and fbi and army 👮‍♀️ took him away ➡️ in a secret 🤫 lab 🧪 for experiments ☣️ it's a top 🔝 secret 🤫 project so no one 🙅 knows 🤓 about it, even his family 👥 and he's there with a rat 🐁 (they took it away from chimney) cause the rat 🐁 got the dose 💉 of antiviral 🧪 and they're studying 🧐 it too. and bobby befriends 🤝 the rat cause they're both lab 🧪 rats 🐁 now so they're buddies 🫂 and later he escapes 🏃 that place with the help ☝️ of the rat 🐁 and crawling home 🏡 to athena cause no ❌ grave 🪦 can hold his body down ⬇️! and then they live happily 🥰 ever after: athena, bobby and the rat 🐁🫶

No matter what people say about Trey, Ace is The Most Normal Character. He plays basketball. He's good at card tricks. He likes eating hamburgers. He's used to getting a lot of attention because he's a youngest child. He teases everyone constantly but sometimes he can be nice. He's 5'8". He had a girlfriend in middle school and the relationship failed immediately. He could transfer to my school and I wouldn't blink an eye.

gojo doubted his own fucking cursed technique, HIS SIX EYES THAT HE IS RENOWNED FOR, because of geto. (AND HE WAS RIGHT!) do you know how insane that is??

i love how Zenos can be as deep or as simple of a character as you want him to be. he's a man with almost non existent empathy who felt something for the first time in his life when he got the shit beat out of him as a kid and has been chasing that high ever since. he's a man who, when he finally experiences something even more exhilarating than that high, slits his own throat so he never has to live a mundane life seeking more. he's a man who sails across to the edge of the universe and helps you take down a threat to all of existence in the hope that you'll agree to his offer to have one final death match with him just for the fun of it (and even allows you to say no and walk away if you don't want to). he's a man who somehow doesn't even CARE all that much for fighting but it's the only way he knows to actually FEEL something so he obsesses over doing it and finding the strongest opponents that can actually give him a struggle.

Or he's a gorilla with a combat boner that hunts you down to the edge of the universe and says "we fight now".

Me: -sigh-

Sakura: JEEZUS WTF WAS THAT

The number of people who are convinced snakes are deaf and will try to argue with me talking to them is pointless baffles me. Stuff like this happens daily.

As many of you know Sakura is a little jumpy at even the smallest thing. I had a very busy weekend, and this is going to be a very long (under staffed) week. All I did was sigh and it startled her into fleeing. At first I didn't realize what scared her, then realized it had to be the quiet unfamiliar sound I made. She's not looking at me, and I'm not moving so she isn't reacting to any visual or physical stimulus. I'm not blowing on her, a sigh like that is done with a wide open mouth not "blowing" shaped lips, so you'd need your hand directly in front of your mouth to feel it. My face was at least two feet away, you can't feel air movement from that mouth shape more than six inches if you test it out.

Yet so many people, including well known breeders and at least one big well known snake YouTube channel insist they are deaf and at most can only feel deep bassy sounds.

But that's a pretty soft light sound. So either snakes can hear... or they are psychic.

Another interesting thing is when I talk to her she starts calming down, I wouldn't be surprised if she recognizes the sound, "You're okay" as I often say this to calm them. Both find my voice calming and comforting that they are safe. They rarely hood up anymore, but on the rare occasion they do, if I talk calmly and sweetly to them they pretty much immediately relax and that hood melts away.

if only the devs weren't unbased, we could have had abortion and baby related trauma. can ygs be cool with abortion now instead of pretending that it somehow 'diminishes the trauma of the trauma sim'.

you know what I think I was kind of cooking with caterina/johanna hezenkoss as a concept actually. it's giving gilf andruil/ghilan'nain narrative echoes and also if hezenkoss teaches caterina to become a lich/become basically immortal by other and probably even more immoral means lucanis won't have to be first talon anymore and can focus on what he likes about the job (i.e. the actually killing people part not the admin work). everybody wins (*glados voice* ...except the ones who are dead. BUT THERE'S NO SENSE CRYING OVER EVERY MISTAKE --) . here's how toxic yuri can still save the day and also make it worse

Shindou and Tenma's relationship at the beginning is literally like Peppermint Patty and Marcie from The Peanuts

Tenma: why did you quit, Captain?

Shindou: stop calling me Captain...

Tenma: will you come back to play, Captain?

Shindou: stop calling me Captain..!

Tenma: Please!! Come back, Captain!

Shindou: I told you to STOP CALLING ME CAPTAIN!!!
