#the fears as the five w’s

[comas-are-for-sleeping]

okok so if we’re going on like the fact that the Fears are differently “organized” in this new world what if it was based more in the feelings that come with the fears??

as in: fears of the mind (kind of fits w “something wrong” im just workshoppinh tbh), fears of the body (like the second ep), fears of something wrong (something foreign/bad in one’s body, something indescribably off about a situation, maybe even something missing), fear of the unknown (things in the shadows, something that looks empty but actually isnt).

or the feelings that, in context feel bad, but can also be associated with a sort of euphoria. control, hunger, calm (perhaps unnervingly so?), understanding (slash paranoia), being part of something (feeling whole/complete?). the things that you feel when fear is combined with obsession

bc honestly these things are also lines that connected the Big Fourteen. The statement giver in Lost John’s Cave describes her feelings of being in a pitch black cave prior to the experience as true peace. obsession and hunger are pretty much all of them in a way. jane prentiss felt in control and loved by her worms and wasps in a way

i think using real animatronics really enhanced the experience of the film. not just in the charming yet uncanny way freddy + friends robotically stomped around but also when they finally reveal springtrap at the end of the film. the way he lumbers in, hunched over. immediately recognizable as an animatronic but theres something Wrong. he's moving too fast, too lifelike. that has to be a person in a suit. he found you, mike.

it was really effective idk guys

All these reassurance posts/videos/etc. are so fucking useless that I cannot help but sneer everytime I run across one, because I know myself as a direct rebuttal to their ""proof"" they use to reassure social anxieties.

"What if they secretly hate me" — "They're close friends with you/your lover for a reason. If they hated you, they wouldn't stick around." except I stuck around. Stick around, even. I know people's actions aren't necessarily correlated with their feelings, because I Do That. Don't pretend like it's not possible for close friends or significant others to secretly hate you, for I've done that, therefore it is very much possible.

"What if they only pretend to like me out of a sense of obligation" — "No one has the time to hang out and pretend to like you. They're there because they enjoy spending time with you." except every social interaction I have in my life is done due to a sense of obligation. I don't ever enjoy spending time with people, including those that consider me a close friend. Don't pretend like it's not possible for close friends or significant others to pretend to have fun with you, for I've done that, therefore it is very much possible.

"What if they'll suddenly leave me one day" — "Someone who's spent Years side by side with you won't suddenly leave you; bonds are stronger than that." except that is how the majority of my social contacts had ended thus far. At the drop of a hat, regardless how long or "close" the bond was. Don't pretend like it's not possible for close friends or significant others to suddenly leave you, for I've both done that And had it happen to me, therefore it is very much possible.

"What if they find me annoying" — "They'd not display enthusiasm in your interests if they weren't interested too, let alone encourage you to go on." except I always encourage others to do so despite finding them incredibly annoying, since that's vital for one to feel comfortable. Don't pretend like it's not possible for close friends or significant others to fake enthusiasm and interest, for I've done that, therefore it is very much possible.

"What if they're lying when they say they love me" — "There are literally zero reasons to lie about that." except it's ridiculously easy to lie and there are so, so many reasons to do so. Some malicious, some not. Mine usually isn't, but that doesn't matter or change the core truth. Don't pretend like it's not possible for close friends or significant others to lie about loving you, for I've done that, therefore it is very much possible.

I know these words are supposed to be comforting, and honestly, if people are comforted by white lies, who am I to butt in? But to me, I couldn't be possibly comforted by ""proof" that my own experiences, especially My Own Actions, immediately contradict. NONE of this is evidence, I Know So, and it's naive to treat it as such.

The only thing that had ever worked for me against any sort of "Fear" is a resounding "So What". So what if they secretly, utterly hate me and will disappear the second they get the confidence to do so? No, I don't worry about annoying people, or if they're lying to me, or any of the sort— I "know" they do. In the sense, that, I will always, without fail, choose to act under the assumption that they hate me, and— if entirely free of consequence— would choose to harm me, for I have zero reasons to believe that people tick differently than I do, for I know every single "evidence" anyone ever brings up about it can easily be utter horseshit.

I know that choosing to always go with the "worst case scenario" is considered to be miserable, but considering that I am apathetic to the outcome, I believe I am way better off than those who ease their mind with white lies and get screwed later on.

FROM THE START self-love and acceptance has been one of the major themes of the series and if ANYONE could benefit from that tigress is RIGHT THERE

[callixton]

sorry that the only things i have to write for barba are like five hundred stories abt consent issues and him telling people he’s kinky. unfortunately he’s on Complex Consent Issues: The Show they just hate to acknowledge that

[paradoxcd]

me squinting at s4: i'm liking it tua is always gonna be fun to watch but girl we are once again doing Same Narrative Thing to five. i just think we could have mixed up the dynamics more if it was gonna be him doing Further Timeline Gymnastics. i just think i missed five interacting w his family like i get doing things on his own is his whole Thing but it takes away some of the heart of the show fr me personally. a known five enjoyer.

finished writing a thing with asphodel a day ago and i may post it on ao3 and share here perhaps despite my slight fear . but i'm realising i really should fully elaborate on asphodel lore at some point because i think i have a solid grasp on it now but i haven't really mentioned it here yet bc at most i've said vague things on discord like "her lore is loosely inspired from kirby and the forgotten land bc i was listening to the ost" and "i researched stuff about king arthur for this"

i mean not that it matters as much in the context of the thing i wrote yet bc it's about the fact that it lost its memories and has weird shit going on with that but still

[its-all-papaya]

sleet sun and tsunami :) everybody else already asked the other ones i wanted to ask smh

-> weather wip asks

noooooo i'm sorry :( ask them again i'll give other answers or lie or smthn idk :,)

🌨 Sleet - What's the most you've ever written in one sitting?

i don't have the exact number, but i think at one point in september or early october i wrote deadass 8k of dad lando in a single day. which tbf was probably like ten HOURS of writing (i am insane), but that was still, like... longer than any other FULL FIC i'd ever written lmao. a lot of the first 40k of dad lando came in huge chunks bc i would spend like a whole sunday working on it.

☀️ Sun - What's your favorite part of your WIP?

my favorite part of dad lando is SO HARD bc there's literally 90k of it to choose from....

my favorite complete scene is the first one of ch 10. it's the emotional climax of the fic, and also the most major turning point in terms of lando's decision-making/feelings about oscar/etc. it came out of FUCKING NOWHERE for me, but i cannot fathom the fic without it now. and i cannot describe it here either, bc i want it to hit for all of you when you read the fic.

my favorite part of WRITING dad lando has been writing the bits where anybody is cuddling emma. like... as i told you last night, after spending so long thinking about her, emma feels like MY little baby. so putting her in lando's lap for him to squeeze and kiss on her tiny nose is very important to me. having max pick her up and spin her and tell her she looks pretty is very important. it's funny bc EYE am constantly in my own head like "she's three. make her walk. ppl cannot carry her everywhere. she's three. she doesn't need to sleep in lando's bed just bc she's cute. she's three, she can do things alone, she's pretty independent" like am i her parent?? 😭 it's a struggle not to just coddle her through all 17 chapters, let me TELL you.

🌊 Tsunami - When and where do you like to write?

i write EXCLUSIVELY in bed, but largely bc that's where i spend 90% of my free time. sometimes i change it up and sit on the floor to type for a bit. as to when... whenever? a lot of it ends up being at night after work bc that's the only time i have off, but i treasure and cherish the times i am free to write before like 4pm bc i think my brain works better then.

soft moment from the aithusa ep (rip to the quality, damn dark dungeons)

[mechieonu]

someone worded this better on twitter but i would be so okay with tipo never becoming canon. like. i just want to see more of them & the five in general bc i can't get enough of them; my paranoia is just that if (& that's a very big if) a romance gets written w zhen when the potential between tigress & po's friendship has been building over three movies i will cause 17 natural disasters at once

the american pharmaceutical industry is trying to fucking nerf me rn
