kind of curious why the majority of jayvik smut focuses on bottom! viktor only. like no one wants to clap the golden boy's cheeks or smth 😔 anyway can't wait for your new AU because I know you won't leave me hanging in this top! jayce world.
i usually disengage with top/bottom discourse completely because 9/10 times I find it deeply stupid but this was so fucking funny. also "bottom!viktor" I know what you are. Fandom Vet.
#ask bee#no one wants to clap the golden boy's cheeks or somethin 😔#PLEASEKLDJFHSDKLJF#i might leave you hanging im sorry to say idk#i usually just kind of decide in the moment DSKLFJHSD#flip a coin!!#its really hard for me to plan action sequences and sex sequences lmao#almost every sex scene i've written both in the more sanatized irl and in fic has turned out very differently than planned#one of my favorite writing workshops ever#first year of my current program#brought in a dramatic script about lesbians#had a VERY EAGER lesbian classmate#and she clears her throat like she's about to give me a really important note#and she was like *cough* i need (x character to be the top) i know she's the femme#but thats hot#the way the other queer people lost their mind#sorry weird tangent#that kind of sounds like a tumblr fake story im sorry#but i promise it was real#and everyone clapped too#i do think traditionally fandom always has a problem giving the top role to the bigger one#or with lesbians the more masc one#(granted with the lesbian fics.... yeah im into thatKLDSFHD)#my personal headcannon as expressed in coming home is that they'd switch#as i feel like many couples do? which i feel we ignore lmao#switch rights#side note the sex will likely be late in this story unless the heat of the moment really grabs me#it was originally going to hit at a certain time but i was thinking about what was missing in my outline and it made me realize#it needs to come later#for reasons

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

it has been an evening of highs and lows, ladies and gentlemen.
#i made progress on some of my spotify playlists! i feel accomplished.#i *did* make a hence-deleted moodboard that i quite liked.#my am*zon package came which delivered beloved dopamines#and i looked a little more into the university i want to apply to#however this whole moodboard tag and link nonsense has exhausted me beyond all measure and deprived me of any hope or happiness#THAT SOUNDS DRAMATIC I KNOWW.#but truly. how tf am i supposed to make that work.#and researching universities is draining! nerve wracking! confusing!#i know i def want to apply to [redacted] but i am so scared and feel so unprepared.#and it is late. much later than i would like it to be; and i feel i have so many things more still to do#i have made a list for tomorrow and i will strive to get it all done before work.#also in warring with t*mblr today i found a way to mass replace tags on posts. and i know there are guides out there about finding posts#with no tags etc#i would like to further reorganize the posts i have on my blogs#but that is a big endeavor and will be shelved until i get my immediate crises figured out#lindsay.text

tw : death, death of a loved one, drowning mentions, depictions of intrusive thoughts, depictions of anxiety & a whole lot of needless melodrama.
the evidence of the ocean’s affair with the cliff is obvious: sea foam speckles the sharp gray stones, which are crusted with seaweed and creatures that brace themselves as the waves crash over them. rohan can feel the cool mist spray in his face as water meets bluff and he crouches at the edge; the vertigo isn��t much better the second time, and the mid-morning drizzle soaks through the thin material of his sweater.
he plants his palm against the slick grass below him, steadying himself against the wind.
there are other options. he could take up running; or one of those crafty hobbies that require the use of fine motor skills, like model ships. there is therapy, or calling a friend. surely someone in his life would’ve understood the anxiety that’s bubbling under his skin before he dug his nails in to tear it out himself.
but rohan wants to be alone right now. the people who surround him are part of the problem. keeping up with them has exhausted his well of emotional energy. for years he’s lived separate from the rest of the world rather than risk coming face to face with his grief, one small boat in the wide ocean. chile has cloaked him with a second chance for companionship. one that he didn’t ask for. one that rohan thinks he doesn’t want.
he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
don’t they know he doesn’t know what he’s doing ?
… will he forget the sound of their voices, too ?
he’s not a social person. he’s tired. he’s overwhelmed. he feels guilty, and he’s full of unreasonable fears and expectations that he put there himself. he insists he’s fine and he’s not lonely even though it isn’t true; he’s been surrounded by people most of his life, and only recently found himself placed in the self-inflicted isolation that’s been gnawing at his already fragile mental state.
but he’s not ready to accept his grief yet. if he accepts it then it’s real. every bad thought he’s had is true. he doesn’t want to answer anymore questions.
and then there’s his dad.
it shouldn’t matter, it’s his dad.
a little warning would’ve been nice.
a little warning would’ve made no difference.
he’s struggling with the odysseus and the winter weather that’s wreaking havoc on her old bones, marooning her to shore for as long as it takes him to fix it. and the big red circle marring the august page of his calendar, and all the feelings he never unpacked about the accident── which seem to be closer to the surface this year than they have over the last half-decade, about his dead sister, about his living one, about the state of their family
he’s been trapped in storms, on land, with people and no escape for over a month. yes, he wants to do this alone. he thinks that will make things better. rohan feels claustrophobic, and it’s making his head spin. it’s making him stupid. it’s making him impulsive.
anything to turn it off.
he takes a deep breath as he stands up, exhaling shakily. his hands comb back through his hair and it sticks against his forehead, the back of his neck, wet and icy and dripping down his spine. he reassures his nerves: last time they made it out unscathed. last time he had javi to worry about, too── those excruciating few seconds between when his friend jumped and when he hit the water, when rohan’s anxious heart stopped beating entirely. it’s proof of what he thinks about his independence. he will be fine because there’s nobody else here to fret over. there’s also nobody else here to care if something goes wrong.
they’re going to die too. all of them. then what ?
can’t survive that again── can’t mourn everybody── can’t even properly mourn people he’s already lost. gotta find a way around it.
“ why won’t you come home ? “
vicious thoughts and voices rattle around inside his head like an orchestra that’s out of tune, and none of the musicians will stop for air. he can’t focus. he’s irritable. he feels like he hasn’t slept in days. he wants them quiet and he knows he can drown them, even if just for a minute.
“ ──so tired of begging you to come to us. “
he’s a bad son.
he’s a bad person.
maybe he’s doing it on purpose.
he should have known after five years the half-assed excuses and last minute cancellations would catch up with him. he didn’t think it would be now. he isn’t ready. the mistakes he’s made still dangle in front of him while he’s fixed in place. over and over, in emotional purgatory, he watches the replay. he can’t change the past, and yet it haunts him all the same.
the worst part is he can’t shut it off. normally he shuts it off. it’s not working this time.
he doesn’t want him here. not yet. not now. not ever.
“ i should get to be a part of the new life you’ve built. “
. . .please don’t say it like that──
it’s his dad, who still remembers to call every sunday even though rohan rarely remembers to pick up. his dad, who always leaves a voicemail asking him to call him back. his dad who, in the most recent picture he’s seen, has more grey hair and wrinkles than when rohan saw him last.
rohan misses him. he wants to see him again. he wants to see his sister, too, though he thinks that metaphorical ship has sailed.
they’re still going to die.
it’s inevitable──
──and then what ?
�� . . .
then what, rohan ?
can’t do it, not again. . .
he drags his palms across his damp face, blinking condensation from his eyelashes. the harsh wind tears at his skin and clothes despite the relative calmness of the water below. he’s desperate for that serenity. once he breaks the surface and disappears under the still, dark water, everything will be silent. right now it’s unbearably loud. he can’t think. he needs to think.
. . . but what if he’s wasting valuable time ?
── . . . what if he’s wasted the last five years ?
what if he didn’t have to be so lonely ?
with shaky hands, he drags his sweater over his head. rohan discards it, and wherever it ends up, he’s not present enough to pay attention. jumping into the water won’t stop his father from boarding a plane in a few weeks, but that doesn’t matter. all rohan wants is for everything to be quiet, just for a second, just so he can relax, because he can never relax, not when everything is pressing in on him on all sides.
his dad’s old.
they only have so much time, and maybe he’s wasted it
for nothing
because he’s immature. he’s selfish. he couldn’t step away from his own pain
──leave it.
he shuffles backwards. the ground is soaked through, much like him, and he prays he doesn’t slip. he’ll deal with everything afterwards. once he can think clearly again, it will be easier.
before he can reconsider, rohan throws his scrawny figure with as much force as he can over the edge, plummeting towards the tranquil ocean.
. . .
. . .
. . .
the fall feels longer this time. it happens in slow motion, his heart in his throat. he’s suspended in mid-air── is this it ? is everything over ?── and then he crashes into the water.
. . .
. . .
he can’t move. his arms and legs won’t listen. his body needs a moment to recover from the fall. he floats motionlessly, heart pounding, eyes screwed shut, lungs screaming.
. . .
time works different down here. all he knows is numb and dark, and the ocean is vast and unfeeling and it wraps him in a familiar comfort. it seeps into his bones, and the bitter, winter cold makes him feel lethargic. something gently tries to pull him under, yanking at his heavy clothes, it’s siren song encouraging him not to resist it.
. . .
. . .
��� . . .
he likes the feeling of brushing up right next to it, likes that it brings him closer to the peace he craves so badly, but rohan doesn’t want to die. drowning terrifies him. it’s the end of the story, and he’s been running from his fear of the reaper since he first came into contact with it almost six years ago. the tide pushes him, and the opportunity presents itself to let go, but no matter how tempting it is to sink to the bottom and let the scavengers have their way with what’s left of him, he fights it without thought.
. . .
. . .
when he regains control of his arms, rohan claws his way to the surface, and inhales air and salt water with a sputtering cough when he breaks the waves. the cold has drained him entirely; his teeth chatter and limbs tremble with each movement, but it worked.
moving on autopilot, he works with the ebb of the current to carry his wiry frame back to shore.
. . .
. . .
it’s quiet.
his head feels clearer as he presses a towel against his face. his heart pounds violently inside his ribcage and his muscles ache from the cold and the impact from the water and none of it feels good, but the physical sensations are a welcome interruption from his catastrophizing.
he scans over his thoughts like one might pick through the wreckage of a burnt building: he looks for salvageable pieces of the mess, ideas that make sense. rohan takes inventory of what’s left as the panic starts to subside.
. . .
. . .
��. . .
it's easier now to stamp out things he doesn't want to think about. when an anxious thought starts to pop up, he focuses instead about the cool air that singes his throat with each uneven inhale, and the material of his shirt freezing to his skin. the distraction of discomfort is a relief, and he uses it to seal off his well of emotions instead of looking at what's left rotting there, untouched for years.
his movements are robotic and hurried as he pulls on dry, warm clothes; muttering about how it’s fucking cold and that really fucking hurt and who’s fucking idea was that anyway ? oh yeah, yours, dumbass. when finally, he’s able to get a deep breath, tension melts from his shoulders. rohan does it again, and again, savouring the momentary control he has over his own thoughts── an occurrence so rare, he doesn’t want to give it up.
afterwards. he’ll deal with everything afterwards.

You're just in denial Lucius /jk
#thermae romae#I got the manga today for my birthday#I already watched the anime but this is more fun#Anyways like I said once before I really hoped he got something going on with emperor Hadrian but alas they don't :(#But emperor Hadrian definitely wished they did#Because what are those lingering touches?? Why is it that everytime you stand close to Lucius you just can't help and touch something?#Either grabbing his hands (+ squeezing them) or holding him by the shoulder and what about looking so intensely in his eyes??#Or the time you want to hold a feast in his honor and I quote#“I will serve anything you wish to eat! Stork? Eel? Simply name your heart's desire!”#That sounds quite like you want to please someone of lower status than you and isn't that romantic?#Or that if you knew that Lucius would be there you would have prepared a feast for him#Not exactly standard for a “simple” engineer ;)#Maybe I'm looking to much into it but I think he did like lucius in some way. As a could be lover if he would be open to it#But yeah. It could never happen#Anyway I laughed so hard at this panel because while it's kinda sad (Spoilers; his wife left him)#It's just funny how he shouts this and it's just so dramatic lol#thermae romae novae#manga art#Lucius modestus#emperor hadrian#my own post

do you think stewy forgave kendall for the bear hug after he publicly denounced logan in the press conference at the end of 2x10?
i think stewy forgave kendall for it before that probably, but i say forgave as in. he’s still upset that it happened but he knows kendall will never tell him why and that ultimately it was in logans control, so he kind of lets it go. i think their animosity at argestes and in greece was hurt on stewys end more than anything, and i think stewy will always be hurt by it, because they really got so close, so in a way, he was never really angry with kendall about it but also, he will never truly forgive him for it. if that?? makes sense??
but also yes, i think stewy seeing kendall denounce logan at the press conference was like. a wet dream for him and it made it easier to fall back in with kendall after (largely, btw, because of optics. even if stewy ‘forgave’ kendall a long time ago, there’s no way he would be seen being friendly with him after the whole business world saw kendall humiliate him like that lol like no way stewy was gonna risk his reputation like that and let everyone see how dickmatized he was, so by denouncing logan, it gave stewy an in for it to be socially acceptable to be seen with kendall in public again) but Also. i think it still came with a lot of reservations. like stewy meant it when he said ‘i just dont see it’ thats a post-vote of no confidence, post-bear hug sentiment. stewys seen logan and kendall square off and logan keeps winning and stewys not gonna let himself think this will be any different
#i dont like to think about it but like. in some ways the bear hug really did do irreparable damage to their relationship#which sounds a lot more dramatic than it is like i think they’re fine and will continue to be but its gonna haunt them forever#kenstewy#ask#anon#m

#i know my apartment is small and it's also a temporary solution...#but like. i feel lonely now not in a year or two lol#i've been used to having cats since i was 8 and now it's been a year without one and i swear i miss it so much#i know it will sound dramatic but it feels like i'm missing a part of me#definitely doesn't help that the way we lost my last cat was really really painful#but just... sometimes i lie in my bed and start crying bc i wish a cat was curled up next to me lol#it's lame i know but i don't really get any physical affection and i didn't even before i moved out but when i had puccio it was like a#light in the darkness to be able to cuddle with him and feel his warmth...#and i just wish i had that again#i'm well aware it's a commitment a pet is not a toy it's a living being who needs care#but i've been thinking about it so much and it just keeps feeling more and more like it'd help me so much#and i know how to give a cat love and taking care of someone other than myself would also help i think...#idk. maybe my mum's right but it breaks my heart. i would also have to ask my landlord and he could say no#god lol once again no place feels like it's home which might sound unrelated but it's not#anyway too tired to explain that one i'll just go cry more

so anyway, thanks for reading my little dissertations on byan's gender. sorry for not writing again today, i'm just. i'm fuckin goin through it rn man
#'it' being... *gestures vaguely*#i stumbled across this series of yt shorts yesterday (all by the same creator) that really fuckin resonated with me#and i mean that in the most serious way like. it spoke to me. never have i related to someone talking about their experiences more.#talking about their life growing up undiagnosed autistic & adhd... being in treatment for anxiety & depression for decades...#i can't really explain it but good god it's most exactly my same experience and i just. i have never felt that before.#it was so... idk. it sounds so dramatic bc it's literally a comedy short but holy shit#they verbalized things that I haven't been able to and#fuck. I felt seen and I felt like I wasn't alone in this miserable weird non-functioning barely even a human place I'm in rn#and just. idk. I'm still kinda processing some of it.#once again I am thinking back over my life and realizing things and it's. heavy. and tiring.#but like. in an ultimately positive way bc it's gonna help me change things & get to a better place.#I'm rambling IGNORE ME writing it out helps me process ig and for whatever reason posting on my dumb writing blog is easier than journaling#just. once again thank u all sfm for ur patience with me. it means SO much to me. genuinely.#you have no idea how much and I can't put it into words but. slow as I am... writing here with all of you is one of the few reasons#that I'm still kicking. and I'm just. so very grateful to every last one of you.#ok I'm gonna shut up before I get even more sappy and emotional lmfajdkgksg#love you guys. hope you're taking care of yourselves. 💜💜💜#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me.#personal cw

Just ignore/delete this ask if you feel uncomfortable with the subject, but I'm really worried the book of bill is gonna be 80% nostalgia-bait 19.75% new lore about bill and 0.25% about the Pines. Granted the book is about Bill, so it's prolly mostly gonna be about him, but yeah I don't really get why the book is being made... I liked having most of bills existence/lore being up to interpretation and in reference by Flatland. Feel like the book is a quick cashgrab but I hope I'm wrong
Not to be the one to affirm your fears but that's... pretty much exactly what I'm expecting?
A lot of people seem to think this art post I made was purely a joke, based on the sheer amount of "I'll never get enough of this guy lol!!" responses it's gotten, but I'm sincere when I say I've had enough of that guy. In general It's really exhausting seeing something myself and other fans have enjoyed expanding on in our own ways be dragged back out after five years of radio silence to generate some more disney money. like yeah it's goofy yeah people are allowed to have fun about the new content, god knows morbid curiosity will likely get the best of me and I'll check it out, but if people can't see this as an obvious cashgrab because they happen to like the character alex hirsch keeps resurrecting in increasingly annoying ways (why else would the book be rated for adults if not to target an adult audience's 2016 fandom nostalgia) then they possess an innocence I envy.
everyone seems to understand how beating a dead horse for money cheapens a story that was supposed to be over and done with until it's about the grandfather of h*zbin hotel I guess
#lab notes#askbox#if I were to expand on this I could say something about how bill as a character is more interesting the less you know about him#as he's always been a stronger antagonist in symbolic ways rather than being a fully fleshed out person.#he's more idea or plot device than Person with a backstory#so the vagueness of his origins suit him perfectly well#anyway. hopefully I don't sound too dramatic over some book tie-in it's just something I care about a lot I suppose#lab discussion

so i went on a first date with a girl a few months back and she was awful at following up then said she didn’t have the mental space to pursue a romantic relationship and tHEN today i open tiktok and what do i see? a post she made with her new gf, how’s everyone else’s christmas eve going lmaoo
#this sounds way more dramatic than it actually is tho like. i wasn’t terribly into her and i agreed to a follow up bc she was nice enough#but she kept putting it off which put me off even further to the point where i just didn’t care to hang with her again#and then i got a random ass text like a month and a half ago saying she didn’t have mental space for romance which. fair and tbh she made#my job easier bc i was v put off by the whole repeated rescheduling thing#it’s just? people are weird? and dating is weird??#also tiktok is terrifying for shoving that in my face#and like. i’m fine really. truly i am. i didn’t see it going anywhere and ive been on a handful of dates ever since#just odd the way it popped up

It’s me and the fan versions of “Hanging Tree” from Hunger Games pre-Mockingjay movie that I discovered in middle school circa 2012/13 against the world.
#alia talks#haven’t been in thg fandom in nearly 10 years#but godddddd it was one of my big fandoms in 8th to 10th grade#there were a bunch of fan versions of ‘the hanging tree’ on YouTube long before the movie version came out#all (IMO) much better than the movie version#they were piano/violin/scapula#*acapella not scapula#some were childlike some were dramatic/tragicesque#but good god they hold so much memory and nostalgia#and all of them were better than the pop culture sounding ‘official’ version#anyway if anyone wants me to link them I can#I was able to figure out how to scroll far back in YouTube so I got past all the post-2013 movie crap#and listening to them is so bittersweet#not bc of the subject matter#more than to me they represent an era long past#I was unhappy and insecure in a lot of ways in middle school/early high school#but also innocent in a way I haven’t been since
