#that's how much they messed up

[forabeatofadrum]

El WooWoo! Happy 11/20 to Persona 5 fans, I guess. And thank you @nausikaaa, @that-disabled-princess, @artsyunderstudy and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe for tagging me in the past two weeks.

Folks, writing is hard. I am not working on Ljubili se, even though a part of me wants to, and instead I am just coming up with WIPs left and right. Honestly, I almost started a My Time at Sandrock Owen/Logan fic! Basically, it feels like my mind is all over the place and I keep trying to start new things in order to get back into the flow of things (see last week's Klaine snippet) only to fall flat again or get stuck.

All of this to stay that I started a fic about BBC's Class, the failed Doctor Who spin-off that is very near to my heart (no, seriously, watch Class). In this story I want to explore the extremely weird relationship between Charlie, Quill and Matteusz, since they end up living together. They all have different views of morality and it does get explored into the show, but not so much between Matteusz and Quill.

I did get stuck on it as well, but I think I have managed to find a way to get unstuck. I just have to delete this part:

Sometimes Matteusz wonders if his life is some elaborate joke. How did he end up here, with woman unconscious on the ground after Matteusz beat her down from behind, just to prevent her from shooting Charlie, who was fighting with Quill about using an alien genocidal Cabinet? Matteusz throws the gun out on the balcony. He’s had enough of guns. Charlie places the sphere back, much to Quill’s anger. Quill truly wants Charlie to kill all the Shadow Kin. Matteusz has stepped in front of Charlie to protect him from her before, and he will do it again. Luckily, Quill walks out without punching Charlie again. The Shadow Kin get rid of the petals and it looks like it’s all over without Charlie having to use the Cabinet. When Charlie admits that he doesn’t know what he would’ve done, Matteusz feels an ache in his chest. He had hoped to hear a clear refusal.

I wrote this part because I felt like I needed to recap what happened in the episodes Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart and Brave-Ish Heart, but also, people who read Class fic probably already know this. And this fic is meant to add to the story of the show, not rehash it. I'm probably going to cut this, rewrite a previous 'missing scene' to place it AFTER these episodes, and see where I go. Also, I want the fic to focus on the time after the main episodes, where all the characters have to deal with what happened. Class unfortunately ended on a cliffhanger, but that does make it free real estate for writers!

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

ALTTP december warm ups and doodling (and one from today, happy new year)

[valictini]

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.

once again thinking about jason as duke’s robin. he’s ~4 years younger than jason, and that puts him at 8-12 during Jason’s time as robin. that’s prime time to get attached to your local kid vigilante before your own life goes downhill.

and if we try to keep duke’s meeting with bruce in zero year + duke’s age (so he can remember the meeting and hold that conversation with bruce), he has to be around 8. if he starts following batman through the news at that time because of the mess that just happened, the robin he sees is probably jason. I’ve literally connected the dots

rewatching bmc as an adult just feels like this

Jason and Cass' opposing views on murder is so interesting. Their conflict is not purely moralistic - that is to say, it's not purely that Jason thinks murder is okay, and Cass doesn't. It's their identities, their original and most fundamental worldview. Jason is a murder victim and Cass is a murderer. Yes, Jason kills people as Red Hood, and yes, Cass dies multiple times, but this never truly erases how they see themselves. Jason will always have been murdered, and Cass will always be a murderer. They are unable to fully extricate themselves from those roles, and thus will never approach life or death the same way.

I have SO many thoughts about everything and they are in no kind of order yet, so here's just some quick little bits in the meantime!

I am not normal about any of these characters!

Messing up while trying to learn healthier coping skills or communication skills doesn't mean your progress ceases to exist.

If you lashed out at someone during an argument instead of using your coping skills, it's okay to forgive yourself. If you reacted based on your emotional urge instead of looking at the situation, that's okay. It happens.

No one is perfect all the time. I think we expect so much more of ourselves. In my case, because I felt so ashamed of who I used to be. It makes me feel extra pressure to "do better". But the reality is, people who aren't in recovery mess up too. And sometimes they may not even notice it.

You don't need to beat yourself up about it. In fact, beating yourself up about it doesn't really help anyone. You can learn from it. Was there something going on that made it harder to use your coping skills? Was there a certain trigger? Maybe a bad day? Take your new knowledge and move forward.

Your progress still very much exists. I promise.
