Hallo :) Ich hab gesehen dass du gepostet hast dass deine Ask offen sind, und ich hoffe es ist okay wenn ich dich jetzt anschreibe. Ich hab in letzter Zeit eine Frage die mir so im Kopf rumspukt und ich weiß nicht ob darüber schonmal irgendjemand was gepostet hat (wenn du was weißt könntest du das gern teilen ), und zwar was wäre passiert wenn Adam nach dem Spaten-Angriff nicht weg gegangen wäre? Also so Roland wäre trotzdem im Koma, die beiden Jungs wären wahrscheinlich erstmal trotzdem total freaked, Adam wäre vllt trotzdem kurz abgehauen aber was wenn er zurück gekommen wäre nach ein paar Tagen? Meinst du die Freundschaft von den beiden hätte das ausgehalten? Ich find es total schwierig sich vorzustellen wie es dann weitergegangen wäre, weil wir von den beiden auch so wenig wissen über diese Zeit. Ich denke Adam hätte das Abi und so vielleicht noch einigermaßen anständig durchgezogen, aber ich seh ihn danach irgendwie nicht in einer normalen Ausbildung oder Studium oder sowas, oder was meinst du? Ich glaub nicht dass er dann trotzdem zur Polizei gegangen wäre. Ich könnte mir irgendwie eher vorstellen, dass Boris oder irgendjemand aus dem Umkreis mit der Aufgabe weitergemacht hätte, Adam "auszubilden". Die Frage ist nur ob und wie lange er das noch ausgehalten hätte. Aber ich find es irgendwie total interessant darüber nachzudenken also wenn du irgendwelche thoughts dazu hast würde ich mich freuen :)

Hello friend!

Thank you for this very interesting ask! There's a lot to think about in a case where Adam would have never left. So many things would have been different. Their entire lives would have been different!

I know that in the fandom, we're still wondering why they both became cops to begin with, and not even as a common goal. Or was it? Did they ever imagine themselves becoming cops when they found refuge in the tree house? Were they dreaming of justice? Were they thinking they could stop Roland, and any other man like him, by becoming cops? We just don't know and I'm sure they'll never talk about that in the show so it's up to us to imagine it haha

We can also imagine without Adam leaving, they would fall apart. The weight of the secret could be too heavy and they would fight a lot because of that. Even as an adult, Leo is a ball of guilt and fear, which doesn't sit too well with Adam actually. The anger Adam feels toward his father is projected onto Leo in a way because he feels guilty too. Leo did what he did to save Adam, it's a heavy thing to carry for Adam too. Your best friend sacrificing himself for you at such a young age is something that change your life forever. They were lucky the cops believed in the arson thing (which was ridiculous, didn't they find out about the fuel they poured everywhere? lmao)

But realistically, I can see them go to school "like normal", finish high school then maybe plan some higher education. I can see Adam dropping out at some point though. Without his father to literally beat him into doing anything, he must have a new sense of freedom and why not use this to do whatever he wants since his mother won't say no anyway? Leo is more conventional, we have no family backstory for him except for a sister, but we can imagine his family to be pretty standard. So maybe he's going through university then get an office job maybe. Honestly, him being a cop in canon has an OOC feel to it. He can't even use his gun because of his trauma, how did he even pass all the tests to become a cop?! lol Also, please give me Vladimir with glasses. And whatever smart but quiet job would suit him. Adam, on the other hand, has been raised on chaos and violence. He'd probably repeat that one way or another, so maybe a job where his own safety is not guaranteed. OR an unassuming job but he's a gangster on the side. Leo would know about his illegal activities, he would also keep trying to make him quit but they both know Adam hasn't been wired to lead a peaceful life. Which would give us moments when Leo is patching up Adam after a fight gone bad. I mean, we deserve it.

I never really put some real thoughts into this "what if" scenario so it was fun!

Fandom joy

Last week I went back into the office after four months either on sick leave or WFH. I am feeling better about life.

Also feeling better about the amount of cash I dropped to get Duo shipped out here after my boss (who admittedly is younger and earns more than me but is also a Senior Leadership whatever) told me about the Beyonce whisky and Dolly Parton frozen foods he's had shipped over from the US. Fandom joy can be found in every fandom :)

I Hate New York

Lately, I have often been wondering to myself: If I feel so out of place in New York City, why did I choose to reincarnate here? (Pisces moon 4th house here lol)

These inner thoughts started peaking especially after I had a conversation with a client of mine who lives in Sydney who used to live in Cali. He told me how he was outgrowing Cali and decided to move across the globe to Australia. He loves it there and mentioned that Australians value work life balance. He noticed there was less instances of work politics at his jobs compared to working in the states. People actually care about the quality of their lifestyles over there.

Being a New Yorker all my life - those things all sound like a DREAM. Every one in New York City grinds. HARD. Work life balance was never a thing for New Yorkers up until covid forced us to quarantine and wfh.

Even then - the pandemic happened years ago and many of us have been forced back into commuting to work so corporate companies can put their commercial spaces to use.

While people find New York City inspiring and love it here - I find it quite an overwhelming and draining place to live in. When I was little, I thought I wanted to live in a high rise condo on the Upper East Side, but now that I've grown up I'm realizing I actually want to live in a spacious, bright and airy house. I want my own garden where I can plant my own fruits, veggies and herbs. I desire a slow uncomplicated life.

My soul feels congested here in New York City. There's too many impurities here both literally and figuratively that are clouding up my mind, body and soul. These streets don't resonate with me and the energy of this city is at odds with mine.

So naturally as an astrologer, I knew there was a reason for all this. I looked to astrocartography for insight and alas, New York City for me is located on a mars/pluto line. The energies and experiences I go through living in NYC are scorpionic in nature which is great for my overall personal transformation and growth, but it would be in my best interest to look for another location that aligns more with my north node. Don't get me wrong, for another individual with different placements than mine, NYC might be the ideal home base. However, for me, the goal is to create more balance and grounding instead of constantly being in the state of change.

Are you currently desiring something different than your current reality? You can learn about your own astrological essence and blueprint with me to tap into your ultimate potential for joy, love, career and money. Email: convoswcourt@gmail.com for astrotherapy appointment availability.

i had a really nice day today 😊

💫, 🕯(there were two candle questions, I want to know about the creating healthy fandom experiences one)

Love seeing your posts on my dash ❤️

💫what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

Honestly, all of it. I love all of it, because more than anything else I love to see all the different ways people react to the same thing. I love when they react similar, I love when they react different.

I DELIGHT in reading paragraphs of nearly unintelligible gushing - and paragraphs of completely organized breakdowns of themes and moments that just struck them so completely.

I love unhinged comments - I love the "I need a cold shower" or "Oh fuck that's hot." or "I'll be in my bunk" XD

I'll admit I don't need to know that *I* have made someon horny, but hells I'm okay knowing my story has turned their crank. turns mine too, let's be fair.

🕯️how do you think engaging with each other through tumblr, twitter, comments, kudos, creates healthy fandom experiences? How do you deal with that if you're not a social person/experience social anxiety?

Ah.

I'm going to start this with some perspective.

I have anxiety so bad, I WFH, get my groceries delivered, and have to have my spouse with me if I got anywhere that isn't, say, my mom's or my dad's. I have to. I'll break down at the doctor's office if I'm alone. My anxiety is bad. I've gone from perfectly functional, to hyperventilating under my desk because something got too close to the window.

All that said, I love tumblr, and Ao3 and twitter can probably DIAF honestly, but I can appreciate how it works for some folks.

Interactions are a part of humanity. We're social creatures, even if that socializing aspect isn't always face to face.

Knowing we're not alone - be it in parts of our identity, or the things we enjoy, provides immense joy. For some people the boundaries of that disappear on the horizon, and for others those boundaries are about 5 or so feet.

Interacting with different people, however, helps expands everyone's horizons. You learn so much about people, and yourself, especially if you're open and willing to learn.

It can hard, and ugly, and some people are going to be mean and unreasonable and awful no matter how kind you are. There's just too many people - no space, no place is perfect, because none of the people in those spaces are perfect.

But that's the healthy part. Learning those imperfections are okay. Learning that differences don't have to be your vibe to be okay. Learning that the lens from which you perceive the world is far from the only kind.

And finding people who click with you. People who are delighted to talk to you, to send you pixelated hugs, to send you sweet animals and funny videos when you have a hard day - find those people is worth it.

It's worth the unreasonable anons. It's worth the risk of useless hate. It's worth the risk of being under the desk hyperventilating and sobbing because one ping was a ping too many.

Times change. Good times, and bad times. Don't hold on to the good ones so hard they break, and don't let the bad times grip you so tightly that you break.

And when that's hard, there's pet pictures, and fan fic, and dark content, and fluffy content, and an entire network of people who are saying "I made this" "I support this" "I love this"

"I needed this."

... ah, I'm getting a bit misty-eyed. Sorry ^^;

Let's Get ((REAL))

[radio-charlie]

Hilarious new male brain/female brain discourse on malaysian twitter:

married woman talks about how one time her husband took her out to her favorite place to eat, she's really thrilled. however, he doesn't want to order anything for himself. she bursts into tears. appeals to woman twitter for sympathy (which is fine lol, not judging that)

says most women will get it, most men probably won't

people do not argue in the replies, because there are a bunch of women saying they do indeed understand, and some guys going "whaet???"/"sorry, can someone please explain"/"lol"

some replies explaining that it's because "women" "like people to share in their experiences of joy" and that op might have felt sad because she thought her husband had just dragged his feet along and didn't really want to be there

Idek man.

I dunno OP's personality or life even though seeing this sort of stupid shit paired with a bio that says 'digital nomad' gives me a bad impression already. So this is not about her specifically. But growing up being lumped in with the stereotype of females as selfish, whiny, idiotic, hysterical babies who are shittier at everything than men, whose feelings need to be anticipated and attended to with kid gloves, all of which amounts to them using men and then going with some hottie who treats them like garbage regardless - it has given me a blood feud. With every single woman who sees this shit and says "oh yes yes, that is just how women are. haha. women and our so-called rationality. heehee". Even if you mean well, you really make "women" as a whole look like shit. You lend ammo to the increasingly powerful arguments of misogynists who make my life, and the lives of other vagina ppl who do try to keep it together and act like functional adults, painful. You don't even know. How many men out there think women cannot do shit, do not go through shit, and therefore do not deserve to hope for shit.

I cannot relate to you. But even when i was still a woman i couldn't relate to this either. This is so lame. If you want men to all look like oppa and cradle you to and from your WFH deskstation then ok la. Let it be a you thing. Not an us thing. Thanks
