#the ending ALWAYS gets me

[layalu]

me when a game is about loneliness and being scared and lost and a universe that is inherently indifferent to you. me when it's about death and inevitability and hopelessness and letting go. me when it's also about home and love and connection and the inherent curiosity and stubbornness and hope of humanity. me when that connection and curiosity spans across space and time. when you follow footsteps and retrace a journey and make it your own and continue it past where it went before. me when the thirst for answers or the desperation or the determination is stronger than the fear that is holding you back. me when it's about the odd balance of change and repetition, the unknown and the familiar. me when it's about how your experiences and your existence as an individual matters even though the universe runs its course with or without you. me when the universe is and we are

Just another five hundred years until everyone can be happy. It's fine :)

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.

Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.

RIP decency indeed.

hey! for todays protest, i made this little zine about palestine (holding just simple and basic information).

you can download the zine here, fold it yourself, and distribute it around.

no credit is needed. feel free to leave it around bars, protests, or wherever. simply print it (borderless) and fold it. here is a tutorial on how to do it.

dont stay silent. there is a genocide of horrendous, atrocious proportions going on. also if you are a zionist here to argue with me, i dont plan to entertain you at all, not on my art blog. fuck off, you'll be swiftly blocked. i see enough of you clowns on my main and i have no energy for you. you can skip the death threats too bc i dont give a shit.

(i'm off to get ready for a surgery now, i just wanted to post it before this. if you need anything, i might take a bit to reply)

percy doing better than annabeth in college is one my favorite developments in the rrverse. if we reflect on percy and annabeth's academic upbringing. annabeth living at camp allowed her to receive accommodations for her adhd and dyslexia and surround herself with like-minded campers who had the same limitations. whereas percy was ridiculed, belittled, and routinely humiliated because of his adhd and dyslexia. even more so, percy's friends and family leave him out of the loop on so many important issue (no chb orientation film, no information about the great prophecy) which perpetuates his subpar confidence and self-esteem in his skills as a student and a demigod. but going to college at NRU changes his mindset because he receives the accommodations he should have gotten years ago and fucking thrives to the point of getting higher grades than annabeth — a person he deems way smarter and more prepared than him in every way. the most important thing percy is learning now is that a supportive environment makes all the difference, and he is more capable than he initially thought.

Another lovely Hiddlesworth piece by way of furiedheart. One of their shorter works, honestly, but no less amazing.

I love the variations in characterization in these stories. In every version, Tom and Chris are slightly different, and yet still demonstrably the same. They also use story-specific pet names for each other usually. A little touch I adore when I see it.

One of my favorite things about this writer’s fic are their OCs and side characters. The main one in this story is Tom’s grandmother. Such a great character! It’s really easy to get attached to her, which makes certain elements of this fic even more heartbreaking. I said in my preview last week that it’s about Alzheimer’s, and all the pain encompassed within, and it is. And with such a sweet character like Patricia… it hurts, man.

Given that this one is shorter, the romance develops a bit faster, but it’s no less affecting. The gradual build towards intimacy is beautiful, and the smut is EVERYTHING. I adore this author’s love scenes so much.

If the last line doesn’t absolutely DESTROY you, we are very different people. It’s perfect. And devastating.

Next Week: Back to Hannigram! This time, a lovely little Christmas fic. Featuring a different first meeting, absolutely tooth-rotting fluff, and pining. So much pining.

Have a nice week!
