Just wanted to say I haven't been keeping up with your timor chapters but OH MY GOD? How are you creating such long and polished pieces of writing that quickly??? /pos /gen

Mad respect, keep up the good work, love your writing just have the attention span of a gnat :3

If I'm honest!! It's because I've planned it out SUPER well (by my usual standards) so it's just sort of filling in the gaps to get through it--also I'm so so attached to my silly little son Timor that I don't think I physically COULD stay away for too long

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

in lieu of having posted any writing/headcanons/asks in the past few days because i have been *so* busy and unable to do anything fandom-related which is terrible and evil, i have a poll out of morbid curiosity and self-indulgence. i've been meaning to ramble here about how i feel about DC's lack fo Deaf representation and which Batfam members i would personally make Deaf, but i am mildly curious about the larger opinion and now i will subject you all to the question, i would love to hear thoughts/opinions/headcanons on any specific choices. (would love d/Deaf/HoH opinions esp but i'm mostly expecting this to reach the hearing crowd, so opinions from hearing ppl are ones i'm very curious about. if you've never given it thought before you are going to now or else /lh)

oh yeah. so i have a new pfp on discord

(yellow version that i also like but it didnt fit the theme i was going for)

kind-of self-portrait typa thing half inspired by the corru.observer style. you should play that you should play it now you should boot it up on your computer or laptop and play it

I don't like to think about this because it makes me sad but given that og pjo had a whole thread going about how you need to accept death for what it is it's the natural order of things and bad things happen when you try to change it (the most obvious example is nico coming to terms with bianca's death but tbh I think the same general notion applies to other things, e.g. all the times we hear about demigods trying to force quests to happen a particular way and it ends very badly)

I think hazel should've been sent back to the underworld after hoo but instead this time she goes to elysium. yes it's angsty and sad and no one wants hazel dead but the justifications given for why her lasting reanimation is okay just this one time are pretty flimsy when it's emphasized so many times in the franchise that You Can't Disrupt The Way Things Are Meant To Be (more in tags)

WAIT BIG BRAINED THOUGHT:

Sam does smth stupid hoping Dean won't find out.

Someone rats Sam out to Dean.

Sam gets in trouble and a lecture from Dean (bc Dean is a parent and he is Sam's parent I will not accept criticism on this matter).

Later, Sam makes a group chat consisting of everyone who could have told on him to Dean and just sends this video:

Is alcohol really needed to have fun?

I don't know how to tag this and if anyone will/could help but, I've seen people say before they wished there were places to gather that wouldn't have alcohol. I'm guessing in the way bars are opened in the evening/at night, while coffee shops usually close early (at least most of the time, since they usually open during the day).

The coffee shop Time Out Space I talked about here, was opening until 9-10pm, but they had almost no one showing up so at some point decided to change a bit their opening hours, but it still didn't work unfortunately.

Now the people who run it think it must be because they don't sell hard alcohol (except for one type of light Korean beer but people have to also buy something to eat with it, for license reasons). They see bars all around town completely full every night, like so crowded people can't even find sits sometimes, and would even stay standing outside some bars with their glass awkwardly hovering until a group leave.

I think they simply didn't find the right partrons yet, people who have money to spend and would be into pop culture and would rather have a nice calm place to eat and drink soft drinks, and be able to play games and/or discuss nerdy stuff. I believe people who don't like super noisy full of drunk people bars exist, and it's sadly just hard to reach people through social media if you're not constantly pumping content and sharing pretty things, but being able to sell alcohol still wouldn't help them.

Does someone have ideas to be able to attract the right regular clients attention? Or are they right and the problem is the lack of alcohol?

Watched Mutant Mayhem! It's pretty good, didn't re-write my brain chemistry or anything, but it does some novel stuff that I thought was interesting.

My only advice is to not watch it in 3D, lmao, it actively detracts from the experience
