The road, Hwel felt, had to go somewhere.
This geographical fiction has been the death of many people. Roads don't necessarily have to go anywhere, they just have to have somewhere to start.
Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

I see a lot of people upset about William Kaplan being dead and no one mourning him cus Billy stole his body and I just don't see it that way. The kid in Wanda Vision is Billy Maximoff, The teenager at the Bar Mitzvah is William Kaplan, the Teen that got taken to the hospital after the wreck is neither and both Billy Maximoff and William Kaplan. That Teen went home with the abilities of Billy Maximoff, to the home of William Kaplan, with memories of neither and lived there for three years. He cares about Rebecca and Jeff, he lied to the to protect them from pain, they are his parents. He wants to find Tommy, he has magical powers, he wants to know who he is. All of these things are true. I wouldn't say William Kaplan is dead he just doesn't remember, like Agatha wasn't dead when he was Agnes, she just didn't remember.
#its fully possible the witches road will give Teen both his memories back cus thats the thing he's missing. making him not William Kaplan#and not Billy Maximoff but Billy Kaplan a mix of the two.#agatha all along#agatha harkness#billy kaplan#william kaplan#billy maximoff#and to all the people pissed that he isn't finding Wanda. womp womp this is about his brother and if you looked you would have seen that.#rumor has it Tommy will be in Vision Quest right? Tommy has to be set up somewhere! he doesn't have magic. and why would they bring back#THE SCARLETT WITCH in a marvel tv show? that's a huge moment they want that sucker for a movie.#marvel#jeff kaplan#rebecca kaplan#also for people up set e6 was billy focused.... yeah mcu projects have set ups for other projects.#even Moon Knight set up Wearwolf by knight. then She Hulk and spiderman had a set up for Daredevil. wandavision set up for Agatha All Along#and the Marvels. Mrs Marvel had a set up for The Marvels. thats kinda how the mcu works its a conected story#teen agatha all along#in the show it shows he doesn't actually remember tommy if he didn't he wouldn't have had to find Ralph. he was surprised wanda had twins#named billy and tommy and that one could read mind while the other was a speedster. all he knows about tommy is that he can feel him#and hes missing.#he probably doesn't know what tommy looks like or sounds like or acts all he know is he can feel him MIA and wants him back.#.........#im back. i also see people stiching that one scene with for lack of better term Teen looking in the mirror going I am William Kaplan and#taking it as Billy adjusting to the body hes in now. one even calling him the monster inhabiting Williams body. and i dont think that it.#he doesn't remember being Billy Maximoff OR William Kaplan. again calling him Teen. Teen is looking in the mirror at a body and face that is#completely alien to him because it is! he has amnesia. he's looking in a mirror with no idea who is looking at him not because hes Billy but#because its no one at that moment hes nothing. he has no idea who he is at all. all he know is thats his body his name is William and his#parents and worried and he know that cus he can read minds. thats it nothing else

*in the tone of an ad*
have you ever asked someone for mosquito bite cream?
does the phrase "mosquito bite cream" take too long to say?
say "squito sauce" instead!
*side effects include: your parents not understanding what you mean, repeatedly saying squito sauce in random situations cuz it sounds so fun, and death!
#guys i need this to go viral so that i can say squito sauce and people will understand#imagine this:#it is 1am. i have just come back from a road trip. my entire family is tired and sleepy and trying to organize all of our belongings.#my mosquito bites are annoying me greatly#i know my mother has mosquito bite cream somewhere so i ask her#in between my brain and my mouth i realize that i can shorten “mosquito” to “squito”#and that i forgot the word for cream/ointment/etc!#so what comes out of my mouth you ask?#“hey ma where's the squito sauce”#she has a look of horror on her face. she doesn't know what i meant but she knows tje series of words are terrifying.#immediately after obtaining squito sauce i share the name i thought of with every person in the house#they are all equally horrified#shitpost#silly funny#funny haha#i love it when there are more tags than post#it's my favorite pastime

it's not sinking in that today might be the last day in my house and town for many months to come
#like how do i even feel#on one hand im excited because like now that i finally agreed to dads stupid whims he technically will have to give in to things#ive been wanting since FOREVER like going to the gym#plus it's impossible to eat junk food when he's there he won't even let me kacchi maggi because maida hai bimar ho jayegi#and aadhe se zyada din toh pyaaz ye sab nahi kha sakte so it rules out any outside food#which is so good because like i just found out im pre diabetic lol#like borderline sugar like ab kuch nahi kiya toh seedha type 2 diabetes#so i need to eat healthy or ill literally die#i mean eventually but whatever being diagnosed with this in my 20s would kill me#also simply the fear of living with him is so much that i HAVE to study#and i want to now it's high time#but yeah want doesn't really work for me#i read a quote somewhere that 'goals' don't mean anything because winners and losers have the same goals#and i was like WOAH. like the person who gets an all india rank had the same goal as me: to pass the exam with good marks#but they succeeded and i didn't so it's isn't our goals that differentiate us#which ik is obvious but like still idk put things in perspective#anyway yeah that way my life MIGHT be fixed#but there's also living ALONE with my sociopathic FATHER who has more mood swings than me on pms#and being cut off frm the rest of civilisation and yk developed roads and buildings and ice cream shops#i guess it is mostly food ig :( which is good like the most junk food i can eat there is a burger from a nearby stall and that's pretty#much it they literally do not even have havmor or anything in walking distance forget scoop wali ice cream#but i like my bed and i like my ceiling with the stars and i like looking out of my window and knowing that the first ever crush of my life#lives right next to me and i like knowing that ill meet my bestfriend atleast once a month#i don't really love my mom or my brother tbh but idk maybe ill miss them it's weird ive never lived without them#i don't know i really hope that this is like a boot camp kota types experience rather than so much isolation that i sink deep into#depression. but then ive hit pretty shocking lows this year so hopefully i can handle it#my sister did say that when she lived alone with him for a month it was quite peaceful and okay because he usually gets more angry when mom#is around warna mostly he's fine#i don't know i don't know bhagwan ji please ab aur mushkil mat banana life bohot jhatke de chuke ho already ab pls#mujhe apni galtiyo ko sudharne ka mauka dena 🙏

I think I'm gonna try learning how to drive again, but I'm very anxious about it
#my dad is an excellent driver but he hates driving bc he thinks everyone else on the road is an idiot asshole#my mom is a very anxious driver and didnt learn until she was in her thirties#i want to try to get my license before i turn 30#bc not having a license has been severely limiting my life#i had my learners permit three years ago and i was like. im gonna learn. but then i drove on the actual road before i felt ready#and never drove again after that lol#and idk i work a $14/hr job bc i dont have any other opportunities within walking distance of my home#and if i want to go down a different career path ill need to drive - both to expand job opportunities and as part of the job requirements#and. ugh i wish i lived somewhere with public transportation so i wouldnt have to drive#but i dont and i think im stuck here for the foreseeable future. so i just gotta start learning again and this time stick with it

#the forsblad agenda deepens#542... you are so important to me...#i was gonna add the fact that ekky does skew a little towards sweets even if he tries to pretend he doesnt#considering the “cookie on the ice cookie off the ice” ritual but he doesnt do it as much anymkre#but he has admitted he does eat half a cookie on the road sometimes with his coffee#which he drinks black; forsy also drinks it black as well#thats not anything surprising considering a good portion of athletes take coffee black to cut back on sugars for health/preformance reasons#its a little surprising because i know forsy enjoys pastries to a certain extent because of fika#but also considering the stated above you dont get an adonis body without certain sacrifices...#and considering the contrast between the rest of the scandinavians admitting they either add cream or milk#(or drink tea woo go sasha!!) to their coffee#it really cements the oh!-ness of him going “i think its just black. straight up.”#two boys cutting back on sweets for the sake of hockey theres romanticism somewhere in there#this is all to say it makes me really happy to see forsy indulge in sweets in the offseason#anyways enough about that lets go back to whatever the fuck forsblad are on#truly cross continental pyschosexual flirting is going on#wdym youre using your cup day to taunt ekky whos (checks notes)#fucking around in the tennis court around the time these shenanigans have started#why are you so obsessed with getting his attention...#if we get an ekky quote about the flying i will in fact eat a shoe 👍

many reasons why it is ultimately good that i decided to go to [regular university] and not [weird trades slash environment college in middle of nowhere] BUT the college had a hockey rink (again small town bumfuck ontario, nothin better to do). i could have had it all there. now what i have to go to a normal rink to learn to play hockey??
#not that it will be difficult to find somewhere to play hockey but i wouldve had free access to the college rink yknow#oh well the university town has an ohl team so whos the real winner here i can see them as much as i want instead#and yes theres a difference between university and college but this isnt about that#the university im going to has such a lame sports selection why is it only posh sports#wdym u have fencing rowing squash rugby curling golf lacrosse??#this is such a middle of the road school why do we have these sports and only these sports#i do love curling though but not THAT much#and yet no tennis. how sad!!

Tomorrow is freaking me out
#incoming vent#vent#so im sure everybody has seen or heard someone talking abt having to cancel out parents/family members' votes#at least once#and usually its ppl talking abt their dad/husband/son/brother. like its usually the men in the house they're canceling out#and while that is a common factor#for me its my mom#i might not even get to vote this year unless someone drives me or i get an uber [unsafe on voting day] theres no way for me to vote 2morrow#and she says it doesn't matter if i dont vote this year bc ive never done it b4#not only that but my dad had to fill out an absentee ballot bc he wont be able to go tomorrow#mom forced him to bring it out to her so she could read it and see who he voted for and then critiqued him on what he voted#thats..just so fucking out of hand and unstable#the only positive is that mom messed up filling something out and had to cancel out her absentee ballot. and the new one didn't come 2day#so she cant give one more vote to that fucking asshole at least#but the fact im going to have no say in this election is scaring me#rlly bad#im terrified bc i live in a neighborhood where every house on every road has a tr*mp sign or flag or poster somewhere#and i don't want to live in tr*mp's world because i wont live at all#im so so fucking scared#elliot rambles#politics#vote

I have a ton of crap I need to do in order to graduate, so unfortunately I have very little time to write, but I'm determined to at least finish sprucing up chapter 4 Bloody my nose, tell me I'm sweet this week. Here's a little something something from that process
“What if there was someone who needed help? Someone I could help. But there’s also a chance that trying to help would make things worse.”
Barbara laced her fingers under her chin and gave him her full attention. “Worse how?”
Jason stayed quiet. He bit his cheek.
“Paint a target on his back. Pull him in. You know to what.”
Barbara sighed.
“I suppose you want me to tell you not to do it. Or that it’ll all turn out okay.”
He winced.
“Or maybe you’re just looking for an excuse to pull away. You were always that way, even back then,” she added sadly.
Jason felt his fingers tighten unwittingly into a fist over the white tablecloth.
“You’d hold on with one hand and push away with the other.” Barbara continued without wavering. “I don’t think you ever really believed we were here to stay. That anyone was. And I’m sorry about that. I am.”
She pushed her hand halfway across the table, but didn’t let it connect with his. She was giving him the choice to pull back. When he didn’t, she laid her fingers over his fist, covering it protectively.
“I think you’re thinking about the wrong question here. You can’t control the outcome of your choices, not really. All you can do is make the choice you can live with.”
Jason eventually ground out wearily, "That’s not very altruistic of you, Princess, " once his breathing was steady and no longer stuck in his throat.
Barbara smiled, something bitter at the edges of it.
“I haven’t been an altruist for a long time.”
#i also want to draw more illustrations for this but jesus beezus i do not have time#i hate having responsibilities#ah well this chapter will hopefully mess you up#like in a good way and a bad way#let me put it this way#i have a good idea of where we're going but we're doing it on a car that has no steering wheel or brakes#and i don't really know the road nor have a driving license but we sure are going somewhere#so um#wish me luck?#jason todd#barbara gordon#fic wip

I hate being probably schizophrenic I really hate it here
#I wish my life was better#like. this year has shown me why most of us try to kill our selves for real#and like I’m not allowed to do that so I’m not going to but#having a brain that doesn’t work like everyone else you know or even everyone else on the damn planet is so isolating#on top of catatonic episodes that have been getting worse and worse for me where I can’t communicate except to agree to stuff#if I didn’t have such good friends I think I’d be dead on the side of the road somewhere rn and I’m so grateful for them#just wish I could like. actually communicate in ways that make sense#I feel bad that I frustrate people with decisions I make because they make sense to me but no anyone else#idk…#I think I really should be living in a community or something but there’s no freedom in that and I don’t want to give up my freedom yet#sitting in my works parking lot trying to make myself go in and not waste my gas lol

poäng appreciation post 💛
#i forget if i said but Baby Sister and i stopped off at ikea on the way back from picking her up at the bus stop on monday#and finally replaced the ruined-by-a-succession-of-cats-(in-ways-both-unsightly-and-gross) Accent Chair in the living room#with a poäng rocker (bc the shape is a little more interesting and less instantly recognizable than the regular chair) in birch (my beloved#also they make fancy tufted cushions for it now! wish they came in more colors but it's a real improvement on sad options past#and anyway it's like. now you can actually sit here in the morning and look out the window at the extremely beautiful view#and the chair actually supports you??? like i could see down the road trying to work out some kind of custom cushioning that's thicker#but the shape of the frame is so ergonomic for me that it's genuinely quite comfortable regardless. bentwood exocorset…#anyway. not a very original post but i just DO really love ikea#like yes it's a mixed bag but also honestly if you're buying particle board—#(i was going to say 'and expecting it to hold up' but. honestly i think it's just. if you're buying particle board period)#—that might be on you.#(like. if you're being pressed in from all sides by budget constraints and immediate need and no accessible better-made used alternatives—#obviously you do what you have to. but it's like buying pleather—you know‚ or should‚ that the material is going to disintegrate.)#but the things ikea makes with decent materials are remarkably well-designed and affordable for what they are‚ has been my sense?#you just gotta shop carefully but like. that's true literally everywhere.#anyway. in conclusion i love my new buddy with its clean lines. …do people name chairs ever.#i've never before had the urge but this one feels like a little assembly-line friend that deserves its own identity. like a star wars clone#(lol what if i gave it a little nametag somewhere hidden. secret identity talisman 4 chairpal.)#(& yes i promise i'm as aware of the‚ uh‚ itself-ness of this tag spiral as you are. :) )#domesticities

forever thinking about how ellis' schizophrenia was simmering in the back of his mind but probably wouldn't have flared up until he was older if he hadn't walked in the fade as a non-magic user
#ooc.#the most horrific thing he thinks he ever experienced was what happened in the mage tower#by the time he gets to the deep roads he is so desensitized he's Over It#[ he's more focused on golems though Lily put him in his fucking place for thinking that way bcs the moment he's like#' well branka has a point '#lily kicks the shit out of him (rightfully) ]#but i will forever be thinking about how he as someone was afraid of magic & that fear being Proven but also as someone who#becomes desinsitized to that fear via exposure#like i dont think there is an ' aha magic good ' moment for him ever#but he just get more scared of other things & doesn't have the energy to think that way anymore#magic as a tool regardless of consequences#i will also note that walking in the fade slapped him like a bad mushroom trip it Fucks Him Up#i have a post somewhere about it but it is super outdated but i would love to dig into it sometime#when he does eventually seek out help & get medicated i also like to think it is the thedas version of magic mushrooms he just microdoses#on an actual schedule to keep his brain from going >:(((#idk i a m thinking about him today

whats tough about like. Having Chemistry and spending time with someone at the start of the spring semester is that valentines day is coming up and its like a make or break point with what you may or may not Be and you have to question what direction things are headed in and its a pressure just Not present in the fall semester idk. idk
#we uhhhh. kinda hit a bump in the road ...... idk.#hes. been very gentle and kind and understanding about where im coming from and so we havent talked in a couple days but just ....#god ok fuck it. we were hanging out saturday night and at some point we were going somewhere where parking sucked so i just suggested we go#in his car rather than separate bc finding parking for ONE car is a Struggle. anyways so afterwards we went back to where i parked my car#and i hahahhaaaaa was NOT leaving. it was just past midnight and so we were just hanging in his car talking for abt an hour#in there at some point i told him about that last crush and how it dragged on and he was like jesus CHRIST sia thats a lot#i was reclined in my seat and shutting my eyes listening to the music and i caught him looking at me a couple times andddddd uh#yeah basically i ended up in his lap and then we were kissing and touching and grinding for like the next hour and a half#and he asked if i wanted to go back to my place and i was like uhhhhhhhhhhhh not now so we stayed in there and just made out & talked more#and then he TOLD me. basically hes in a similar situation i was in this time last year. like a girl he liked and was talking to actually#has a bf. hes sorta in limbo and she still talks to bim and is stringing him along and playing off his hopes theyll get together for.#entertainment ig. everyone at this school is fantastic btw. jesus fucking christ.#so yeah he told me bc he said he didnt wanna hurt me or end up fucking me over and that i deserved full honesty and didnt want to get my#hopes up. which i REALLY appreciate. we talked for 8 days he got carried away once and immediately owned up. i do appreciate that#so like. he said that we can just be friends with or without benefits and i said id think about it. then at like 3 am we went home and he#check in with me to make sure i was alright since he could tell i had a LOT on my mind. i said id call him the next day and so we talked#and basically i explained the reason for my apprehensions and why i said no to hooking up (csa) and he was really understanding#and then like. i just asked him more about what was going through his head the night before & he described it as a heat of the moment thing#(which i agree it was) and like. he was genuinely concerned about me tho. idk#i told him that after i got home i had to shower for an hour scrubbyat every place he touched me and that im tired of feeling used#and he really heard me out and listened. he also asked if he hurt me and i said no but it def could have gotten to that point and i#and so he said 'im sorry for making your life at all hafrder to deal with' and i REALLY really#appreciate him being as honest as he was. so i said its cool we can be friends but i just need some space rn & he once again was really#understanding & said 'for as long as you need. just let me know whenever youre ready to just be friends again & if you need me to stay sway#from [xyz places we hung out] just let me know and if you need anything for class just feel free to reach out'#and. GOD i appreciate him. so that convo closed out on good terms. i was worried id need WEEKS but it rlly was just a few hours after that#i was ok again. traumas all about narratives and before that convo all i could see was another instance i was usee but like.#after actually talking it out all the fear around it dissipated and i can just see it for what it was: 2 friends who got carried away#but i really REALLY appreciate how hes handled this and we're both single & attracted to each other and so the question im thinking now is:#crushposting
