I feel like Lockwood and Lucy's dramatically opposing moral and philosophical perspectives on the major issue affecting their lives would continue to be a point of contention in their working and personal relationship but also if they had computers Lockwood would post 'AITA for hating my gf's friends (they are evil ghosts)' and get shredded by reddit for being another guy who can't appreciate the weird queen he somehow pulled.

married skk where Chuuya's removing his gloves while activating Corruption, but he stops the chant midway to take off his ring to hand to Dazai so he doesn't lose it in the fight

Chuuya: oh grantors of— oh wait Dazai: ? Chuuya, turning back and tossing his ring to Dazai: hold onto that for me i don't wanna lose or break it Dazai, biting down a grin: ok <3

(post-corruption, as Dazai's bringing an exhausted Chuuya back to base, he can't resist going "sooooo...." — Chuuya just rolls his eyes and immediately is like. don't even start)

who’d have thought that reddit trans spaces would be more open to the concept of transandrophobia than tumblr trans spaces

I love you guys. I hope you know that.

Like.

Ok so I posted the new TRT chapter the other day. Obviously. And I had to force myself to do it, to click that final, 'post' button because at that last moment, this big wave of imposter syndrome hit (that had already hit on and off as I'd started working on the chapter again). And it was just this cycle of, 'It's been like 6 months since you posted a chapter or anything other than a couple one-shots and you're out of practice, I bet it's bad, it's probably terrible, I bet everyone's left and no one cares about this thing you love so why do you? What if no one likes it, you're gonna drop this and everyone's gonna god 'wtf is this, pasta? what happened?'' And so I forced myself to post it, took my meds to ensure I slept, and then kinda just bunkered down and slept/hid because I was halfway convinced that all the trauma in the previous six months had just bopped any ability I had to write.

Instead I got this outpouring, of just like, 'WELCOME BACK' and people telling me they're happy that mom is ok (which made me cry but in a good way) and they're sorry Cato passed away (more tears, but comforted tears), but also delightful jokes about the funny lines I put in or screaming over that romantic line or about missing Jane and the dynamics and comments about being eager for the next chapter, and how now I can be one of those AO3 authors with those notes of 'yeah my life blew up so I was delayed, but hey I'm back!' which... yeah. And much like when I first started TRT, I didn't... really expect that at all, and it's made me really emotional.

So if you've dropped into my ask box or the comments or the replies, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, because the excitement and love and just you all being the best little fam and continuing on this journey of TRT with me - a journey that has now included both Matt and Jane's journey, and a real life journey through a pandemic, a huge move, a passing of two of my pets, my mom's hospitalization and recovery, some heart issues, the cancellation and resurrection of the show, me meeting Charlie Cox and getting him to hold a red thread, my first wood carving event, etc - and I know I say this a lot, but you all really, really help me keep going when things get hard. I'd write TRT for nothing, I would, because I love this story and I intend to see it through, but ya'll just... I love you all tons. I'm hoping to get through the asks and fic comments and replies in the next few days, but I just wanted you guys to know that.

I love reading Miquella lore discussions these days. Truly the character of all time

I go on twitter for twelve minutes and receive the worst psychic damage known to man. Every large thread is four hundred bot posts copying people farther down the thread, people with shiney ai icons being obtuse Just Because. People asking fucking grok this or that like it's a fucking gotcha. "I asked grok-" WOW GREAT TO KNOW YOU HAVE NEVER HAD AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT EVER.

exactly! he wasn't trying to become "famous" and every little detail about his life has been dissected and people are overanalyzing and projecting into his life (for ex. his relationship with his parents). i feel really bad when i read people speculating, i admit i'm also curious but i never went on a hunt for pictures or wrote to people in his life to get info, there's a line and the fact that he's a normal guy and i could go and cross it doesn't mean i should. what truly worries me is his safety when he'll step out there (i'm brain-whashing myself into thinking he'll make it out of there asap) because there are so many people who are crossing boundaries and acting like crazy fan girls, and i use that term because it's the type of behaviour i've only seen for popstars, and i believe some people are on just on the point of crossing the "stalker" line unfortunately. i truly hope he hasn't received any creepy mail, he has his life on the line and the last thing he has to worry about are creeps. i hope those people who are there to treat him like the pop it boy of the moment will stop treating him like that and start seeing a human being.

i really don't like it when people psychoanalyse him, like please just make sure he gets out and he'll get himself a therapist to psychoanalyse things with if he wants to (he will probably need it too, because everything that's been happening and will keep happening is too much for a person to handle) none of us needs to psychoanalyse him and inspect him like a bug under the microscope tho, we can give him some privacy and respect and minimal dignity that should be afforded to every human no matter their present situation

i'm also brainwashing myself into believing that he'll hopefully get out soon enough, because i can't look at the other option and accept it in any way

he can't get any letters like that anyways, all letters are screened and photocopied (some are read to check contents usually for others, for him who knows what's happening, maybe they're reading everything too just because) and only then does he get the letters, by which of course i mean he only gets the photocopies and not the actual written letter, so there's almost zero chance anything not strictly nice has gotten to him yet

how reze is handled through the bomb devil arc is so special because despite multiple of her presentations conflicting, they conflict simultaneously & resolve themselves into a constant direction. i don't believe this direction ever really alters which is why i scratch my head when i see people discuss reze's "redemption arc" because... i don't think she ever has one? csm is a non normative story / she doesn't need a redemption arc in order to conflict w. the protag & find herself in the alleyway again -- this is cyclical, her whole arc is. she's so facade pilled her dialogue re: this State of hybridhood / how she handles her autonomy in this state frames itself along new contexts as we progress through the arc. i dislike it when i see reze be woobified (for lack of a better word) since her character is one who strives for autonomy through denji (the protagonist / simultaneously the narrative layer that she translates herself through).

the most overt of her actions are both Facade & expression of her agency [the tongue scene for eg] & tbh she's insane for that.

Just watched Viking Wolf (2022) and enjoyed it! It's Norwegian and not over the top gory, but still has a fair amount of gore. I like the werewolf design and concept, it's a one way transformation and retains the uncanny feeling even fully transformed. They use what is definitely a feline claw as a wolf claw early in the movie and that irks me!! But the creature itself is very neat. There's a puppy version at the beginning that I love??

The head shape of the grown werewolf is kinda funky but I like it, it's very Shaped and kinda reminds me of a cat in proportions

Teeth are... alright. Weird shaped for "a biologist said this is just a fucked up wolf" but not bad for a werewolf.

Theres a female werewolf in this, and I loveeee a female werewolf, AND there's a really nice sisterly bond in it that I quite enjoyed.

Unrelated to anything: being blocked on AO3 hurts way more than being blocked on Tumblr
