#this is long im sorry im wordy lately

[abdomensect]

It's very much not the same as historical prejudice and the horrible shit done to LGB people, but you're wrong that it's never discriminated against

but im gonna say in the modern day, im 19 now, and when i was still trying to figure myself out and trying to fit myself into boxes, when i said i was lesbian or bi, people were very accepting or neutral

whenever i've told people I'm asexual, it gets met with prejudice, rude overly personal questions, assuming it must be due to trauma, denying it exists, denying my experiences, insulting me because of it, saying it's a disorder, suggesting corrective rape or therapy to "fix it", etc etc…

it took me a long time to come to terms with it, i know i'm young but i spent years feeling broken, unlovable and trying to fit myself into boxes for something that was more socially acceptable. in the modern day i have a lot more similar experiences, worries, & trauma regarding my growing up with an abnormal sexual orientation as lgb people my same age in the US (obvi different ages, places & people will be different duh)

especially idk how you can say it's not a sexual orientation, it's just a word not based on oppression olympics. as homosexuality is attraction to same sex. Asexuality is attraction to no sex, no people, and no desire for sex, (without distress about the lack of sexual desire and/or lack of libido, which constitute sexual disorders), the other microlabels are mostly stupid, but you're a bit ignorant.

or maybe I'm just missing the point and this rant is cringe & i'll delete it if i was super off base, oh well ;P

i’m going to say it

‘asexuals’ have no business in the lgb community and i say that being someone who would classify as asexual even if i don’t like the term

it isn’t a sexual orientation and has never been discriminated against unless you count asexual women being forced to marry which is a woman’s issue and not an asexual one

also forever laughing at the other supposed asexual orientations that account for… sexual attraction?

[spirestar]

How did he get here? How did they? When did he fuck up so royally? And why isn't he asking himself that anymore as Karlach speaks?

❝ You're not alone. ❞ A bit of blazing light puffs from beneath her skin, leaves her glowing in the darkness like a beacon. ❝ You'll never be alone. Not as long as I'm here. ❞

For all the many gods he doesn't believe in, if there was a new one elected to some pantheon for their ability to ensure everyone in a camp was asleep when things like this went on, Astarion might have been influenced to consider their divinity. Because he's desperately grateful no one else can hear her / Can see the unbridled shock that overtakes his every feature. There's no twinge of a pompous smile he can manage to level her with: She means it.

Astarion wishes he could make himself very small. He often does it already with words. Obfuscating his true self beneath something larger than life comes to him naturally. As if he's a wild beast with an inviolable exoskeleton. The armor is an innate part of him. Take it or leave it—and he makes people leave it. Karlach was meant to, too. But where the others were often more focused on their own goals and issues, she too often took time. To poke at him, to realize when things have begun to wear him down, to know when he's not ready to speak and when he needs to. It's disgusting really! Awful! People are meant to be their usual selfish selves around him so he can have his way. It's all he thought he wanted in this new world of tadpole-induced freedom. A little space to exist and soak up the sun before some awful thing steals it all away from him someday.

Astarion's voice breaks like a dry twig snapping, "I—" Crimson eyes dart back to the campfire's last embers. On nights like these, everyone's better off surrounding Karlach for a fire than its sad excuse for warmth. His pale curls bounce as he shakes his head incredulously. "Stop that." He's not sure what else to say. It almost sounds like a promise. Astarion hates promises. They only exist to be broken. He has to refuse it, to push back—Clearly he should have before / Should have known he was too honest and too much like the part of him that's cocooned beneath his defenses. The one he pretends doesn't exist at all.

"No need to be so sentimental, dear!" Course correcting, Astarion waves his hand in the air to dissolve whatever intimate—not the kind he uses, but the kind of intimacy that terrifies him—tension his brief lapse might have built up. "It's not as if we're planning to split up any time soon. After all, I've never had as lovely a meat shield as you, Karlach." His usual haughty tone is hollow, though. Far away. If she presses, he'll have to let up. If he can't distract away, he'll be forced to lash out or. Be truthful. Either one would flay him open. Astarion finally tries to smile again. "Why would I ever give that up?"

hi emmy! congrats on the milestone!! (im sorry for being late 😔) u deserve so much more love <3!! i feel rlly proud for u, even tho i started following u not long ago :) i can feel u being sincere with everybody which is rlly cool! :D and i wanted to do 27 from your prompt list and 4 from the second list on hugs w/ tsukki :) i hope u have a great day and stay healthy and take care!! -anon :)

YOURE SO SWEET, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS 🥺💖

Honestly I want this to be a place where anyone feels welcome to poke around, so to kinda hear that you get that vibe really does mean the most. ALSOO my first Tsukki piece!! Hope I didn’t do him dirty!!

27 “I swear, I’m not scared”

4 Hugs “Comforting”

—

��Are you sure-”

“Yup. I am perfectly fine with this circumstance.”

Despite your quivering words and tense shoulders, your eyes never leave the screen. Seems to be mistake, as instantly, the monster portrayed in the film hides just in the background, barely in sight. Kei rolls his eyes while yours absolutely refuse to leave the monster that lingers without being noticed by the protagonists.

Next to you, an equally scared but exponentially enthralled Yachi, on the floor are the other three third years who shout at the stupidity of the characters on screen.

Movie nights have always been a tradition, especially on Halloween; like hell you were going to disrupt the fun.

Not like you were scared or anything.

“If you’re scared, I can ask Tadashi to-”

“I swear, I’m not scared,” you hiss. Your body betrays you, as your finger nails dig at your cuticles, anxiously scanning for the monster the movie finally has panned away from.

“But what if it’s real?” Hinata says, popping some gummy bears in his mouth. 

“What if what’s real?” Kageyama asks back.

“Like, what if you were killed in any rage? Do you think you would come back as one of those?” Hinata’s finger nudges at the screen, referring to the horrors as if they’re not fake.

“You keep talking and I’m gonna kill you in a fit of rage,” Kageyama snaps, and a few feet away, Tadashi snickers.

“If I come back as one of those demons, I’m gonna haunt you so bad!”

Next to him, Kei hears you whimper, and he lets out a snarl at the idea of the others making you afraid.

“That’s enough,” Kei finally snaps. “Shut the hell up, or we’re leaving.”

“What’s the matter?” Hinata teases. “You scaaaared we’re gonna haunt you?”

You look away, embarrassed. If looks could kill, Hinata would be buried by Kei’s.

“You already haunt my everyday life, that’s horrific enough.”

Finally, a quiet falls back over the group, engrossed in the rising tension. You look like you’re completely settled in rigor mortis, and you look so scared he thinks you could puke straight onto Yamaguchi’s rug.

With a deep inhale through his nose, sucking up his pride, Kei wraps an arm around you, pulling you closer to his side. You make a small, confused noise at the sudden affection, and he noses at your hairline.

“Kei? What’re you-”

“I’m scared,” he says simply, though there’s a total calm in his voice. He conceals you slightly in his frame, the flashing on screen dimmed in his hoodie fabric. “Hate this shit, but I know you want to finish it, so I’m just gonna... hold you.”

An overly wordy, but extremely soothing “I know your stubborn ass doesn’t want to leave, so I’ll keep your cover.”

You blink, surprised at the gentleness in his voice, but you decide to curl against him adoringly, melting in the comforting embrace, the friends scattered around you two being none the wiser to the chatter between you both.

You press an soft kiss to his jawline, feeling immensely better in the bulk of his arms. Your eyes gently flutter close and you take selfish inhales of his scent, mumbling a soft “thank you,” into the meat of his bicep. He nods and settles back down for his own physical comfort, the whole group gasping out as another scare plagues the air surrounding you both.

The scare fades, and you feel your breathing even out as you rest against your boyfriend, mind at ease and-

“Ohhhhh, I get it! Tsukishima wasn’t scared, but-”

There’s a sudden thump and a pained whine from Hinata, quickly then followed by “don’t kick me, Suckishima!” Your laughter gets muffled in the hoodie, mingled only with the other laughter from the other boy, Yachi quickly asking if the middle blocker was okay.

Definitely a tradition.

[spelllingandthemysteryschool]

hi yaz 🍊 (<-for u) right now im going through that awkward friendless period of my life and have been for a while. i've been following you for a long time and wondered if you had any words of wisdom for those of us in the thick of it. thank you ❣️

(p.s - from what we see online you've seemed really well lately, and its genuinely very encouraging. thanks 4 spreading the joy)

hi! so sorry for letting this ask sit there for a bit... i wanted to make sure i could answer it thoughtfully! 🌟 i ended up writing more than i expected so i apologize if this comes across as a bit wordy.

first of all, thank you so much! it really means a lot to me to hear this... i am literally just Random Girl Online so i’m truly honored & i think you’re incredibly sweet to say so 😭💝

secondly, i’m sorry you’re feeling this way! it’s a miserable place to be emotionally & difficult to talk about... but i promise promise promise you will not feel this way forever. i was so lonely it hurt for a very long time, i guess if you’ve followed me for a while you probably remember. like it was PAINFUL how unpeopled my life was, and i was really embarrassed by it too because no one else seemed to be going through it quite so badly. but honestly, i think... most people actively are or once were lonelier than they are willing to admit, so it’s not an experience that’s awkward at all, and not something indicative of there being anything wrong with you specifically (which is all too easy a conclusion to come to), and it is definitely, DEFINITELY is not going to be this bad always. there are so many lovely people in this world who are just on the cusp of entering your life without your even realizing it yet... at one point last year i took a second to look around me & it suddenly occurred to me that things had gotten so much better for me in a way i genuinely never imagined during the worst of my loneliness, that completely unexpectedly i had come to know a good number of people i liked and cared about.

mostly all i can encourage you to do is to be around people in whatever way u can even if you don’t currently have a circle of friends to turn to. if your school or a local museum or a similar institution is holding some kind of lecture, attend it even if u don’t know anyone else who’s going! you might strike up a conversation with a stranger u unexpectedly get along with and make plans to get to know each other better, or you might just get to lightly chat with a lot of people who u never see again. both of these things are nice in different ways. if your workplace is holding a little potluck for someone’s birthday, go even if it’s just for the sake of having cake and cooing over photos of your coworker’s new puppy. text friends who live in the area who u haven’t seen in years, spend the afternoon at the park together & see if you want to make room in each other’s lives for these new versions of yourselves you’ve grown into. sign up for art classes where u can struggle through something you’re unfamiliar with alongside others who are struggling through it the same way & bond over this for a few hours each week. be the first person to text in a groupchat of people u only sort of know. tag along to study with someone from your class at the library & see if it becomes a regular thing with other people from the same class. maybe you won’t befriend all the people you go out of your way to interact with, but chances are you can and will befriend a few of them! and even if it doesn’t end up working out, a little camaraderie goes a long way in pulling a person out of the pits of despair.

if literally none of the above is an option for u in any way whatsoever right now, just try your best to keep going anyway. which sounds stupid probably, i’m sorry; i would have been CRAZY irritated if anyone told me this when i was so lonely i could hardly think about anything else. but i read a lot of poetry, i played a lot of video games, i watched a lot of movies, i spent so much time out of doors watching the birds and trees, i talked to my relatives more than ever before, i messaged some mutuals so often they turned into genuine online friendships that meant the world to me then and mean the world to me still. it hurt that i didn’t have people to share any of this with the way i wanted to but i still experienced a lot of really nice moments when i was alone & in some ways i feel more equipped to deal with loneliness after living through so much of it because i know now that i’m capable of enjoying things even in the throes of isolation. resilience isn’t sustainable and i sincerely hope you don’t need to be resilient about this for much longer, but your life is not on hold, and if u just keep going i believe you will still experience lots of meaningful and good things until your social life starts to pick up, at which point u will experience lots of other meaningful and good things!

also i guess i already mentioned this and definitely feel free to ignore this bit if it doesn’t apply to you, but be careful not to fall into the trap of thinking this is somehow your fault or because there is something inherently off-putting about you! this is absolutely not the case… not having enough or even any friends is just something that happens sometimes. it’s a much more common experience than it feels like & there is nothing wrong with you! believing this and giving in to the shame will cause you undue pain and isolate you further when people reach out or enter your life if you feel you aren’t deserving of friendship because whatever shape your insecurities happen to take. so just... try and be kind to yourself. this is something i struggled with a lot & that’s why i bring it up, but again, you can totally disregard it if it doesn’t align with your own experiences.

i guess that’s all for now! i don’t think i’m saying anything new, so i don’t know how helpful any of this was. i mostly just hope it wasn’t pedantic! i was trying to think of things that genuinely worked for me or things i would like to tell me of a couple years ago if i could speak to her somehow, and i ended up writing a lot because this is a topic that means a lot to me. basically i just mean to say u will be okay! with time and effort and a little bit of luck you will be okay & you will find yourself surrounded by the nicest friends and acquaintances who genuinely really like you and who you genuinely really like in return. loneliness is just something that comes and goes... sometimes it is a little harder and more painful to get through than other times but it never lasts forever. i hope you take care of yourself & i hope it all starts to work out really well, really soon ❣️ love u

💌 A messy open letter/life update to my moots, readers and followers (?)

MY LOVES MY ANGELS HI!!!

IM SO SORRY FOR NEGLECTING Y'ALL FOR SO LONG my kitten is just now healed enough (not fully healed yet. she still has sutures) for me to be able to let her walk around the room and play by herself without being too dangerous for her health and I FINALLY was able to sleep more these last 4 days (I didn't talk to ANY of my friends for 3 days bc all I could do was sleep - even during the day, like, a lot - watch movies n read a bit (books, not fanfiction)/study neuroscience and anatomy a bit) so, now, I'm only like 70% recovered from so much sleep deprivation (being an amateur nurse for a spayed kitten and also doing house chores, mostly by yourself, ain't easy) and I've been logging in here for like only 30 minutes up to a maximum of like 1 hour or so, and not even everyday, just editing some stuff on my posted fanfiction/checking my notifications, messages, asks and OMG you guys are AMAZING!!! So much love that I'm receiving, from moots, readers, followers or even people who I don't think follow me but they support my works somehow, even after me being gone for this long while... IM SO THANKFUL AND MOVED!!! I love this fandom SO MUCH! I have no words!! I've been in many fandoms in my life and the Avatar one is by far the most supportive, peaceful - to a certain extent - and full of good energy and love! I PROMISE I will get to answer y'all soon enough!

And about the talk that's been going on about the fandom dying, DONT U WORRY MY BABIES, MOMMA VICTÓRIA AINT GOING NOWHERE! Speaking for me, at least, this tall blue aliens obsession is NOT something temporary! I'll be writing my lil stories for y'all forever, if I'm able to (lol) 🤍 I've loved Avatar since the first time I watched the 2009 movie, back when it was released and I was a child, and now that I'm a grown woman in her 20s, I still feel such a big connection to this fictional universe, in a literal spiritual level. I was a pagan/had a witchy/nature based spirituality for years of my life, tho I'm not pagan anymore, since I slowly realized I never truly believed in the pagan gods and magick, but, instead, I just see God in nature and see it as sacred and something that should be respected and taken care of, instead of destroyed. I also have indigenous heritage from my great grandmother, love my indigenous culture, live in a small town, next to the countryside, always felt crazily connected to nature and the Universe and been deeply fascinated by space, aliens, sci-fi, fantasy, always been called a "hippie" by people, either to tease me playfully or to try to make me feel bad for being a bit too much like Kiri Sully (istg me and Kiri are one and the same) so, this fandom serves me JUST RIGHT 😅🫀✨🌱👽💕 I'm here to stay and I WILL help keep this wonderful fandom alive!!! 💖

Anyways... I feel like I already "talked" way too much lol I'm wordy, sorry 🥲 but that's one of the reasons I can write well, so... it's got its bad and its good side ahaha

Speaking of writing, I have like 6 to 7 chapters of Realize where you belong saved (only need to edit and fill in some gaps) bc, even in the middle of so much physical and mental working, I'VE BEEN SO BLESSED with inspiration and been able to write A LOT lately, in the wee free time I've been having, so... if you're reading this fanfiction, I might be updating it later today or tomorrow!

Hope you're all doing good and taking care of yourselves! I've been trying to! I LOVE Y'ALL TO THE MOON AND BACK 💘

With love, your messy and a bit crazy but honest and caring fanfiction writer,

Victória ♡

[aydeenchan]

In my eyes, you're currently holding the crown of simping for the actor of Dar Basri (don't knooow his real name), so now I gotta ask you to officially rank all of his appearances/characters in order of who you fancy the most 🗣️

[Hope the question isn't too wordy and complicated lol 💛]

Oh you're so wrong by asking this.. *crack knuckles*

First of all thank you! But no.. im not the crown holder 🤣, the harem is pretty much crowded.. if we share him, we also share the crown.. 🤭

His name is Sukesh Khosla, and no.. im not simping for him, I simp for his digitally rendered looks in TDPA. He's handsome yes, he's a model of course.. but i grew up/ living among Indians/descent, so seeing face like his or Erin's model just feels like seeing neighbors 🤣.

This rank made based on my fanciness by emotional attachment :

1. Hector Munday/Granthem Du'Met.

He's a mountain of a man, imposing, upon saw him i'll start running.. to him. He's weaponized his 'flaw', we not questioning his head from the intelligence, insanity or bald spot, he's exquisite. He's childish, seems like unorganized but in purpose, just want mother, praises and play hide and seek with blood and gore included. I can make a powerpoint presentation of this man.

2. Cpt. Dar Basri.

Too much hate for him, he's just want his homeland free, keeping his people safe.. his wife included. What would someone do when their home invaded? Fight back. He just took it too far and blinded by rage (I shared the same beliefs with him and Salim so yeah.. he's fighting for a vain.). But he's willing to join force in sacrificial chamber, at least.. he knows better. And what better? 17.53/5.53 p.m is Iraq time for Maghrib prayer! *Bonk* go to Mosque with your men instead of ambushing Americans!

3. John/James Clarke/Joseph Lambert.

In their respective order.

-John is insecure, trying to be alpha man yeah.. pathetic. Probably got bullied growing up, or have a toxic family. Relate.

-James is depiction of my late bio dad just not alcoholic. Tried to do his best, but cant stand pressure. He wasnt mean nor abusive from the start.. he just swam in toxic water for too long he couldnt reach the surface anymore.

-Joseph because he's Joseph. A family man, stood strong with what he belief till the end.

Im not so much revisit Little Hope, because i'm not mentally well and that game is so tragic.

So yeah.. all ranked.. this is a whole word tsunamis.. sorry 🥺.. this 'tism sometimes really did wonder 🤭

I want the full rundown of Dustyverse please because I’m having a hard time pinning down information on it for some reason (please)

ok im. going to do my best to make this completely cohesive. sorry, this might get a little wordy

when new york city karate prodegy yoshi hamato is 15, he gets lost and ends up finding a very sinister looking evil lab with a bunch of animals in cages and jars and stuff. he gets caught and the people who own the lab, the foot clan, realize that he has a lot of potential decide they're going to experiment on him to create super mutants to help shredder on his quest for world domination. after a few days, yoshi manages to get free, scooping up a bunch of weird little ping pong ball things and throwing some of them, realizing too late that they were eggs. turtle eggs.

something goes wrong and he and a handful of eggs get sprayed with mutagen- a very unstable substance that was not out of testing.

scared, lonely, and in the worst pain of his life, he sneaks into the sewers and curls up to die.

he doesn't. he ends up turning into a rat- around 18 inches long. a few hours later, the eggs he'd forgotten he'd grabbed hatch, and he realizes they're tiny little snapping turtles that can cry like babies.

he ends up taking care of them, and teaching them to speak, and how to walk. he's not exactly the best father, because he is- again- 15, but he does his best.

one day, when the turtles are 10 or so, they bring home a skinny teenage human with a busted up face, and yoshi- who goes by splinter by now, because he feels he's not a whole person anymore- agrees to take him in and teach him to fight. naturally, the turtles also want to learn, so the four of them and young casey jones learn together how to become ninjas.

one day, casey makes it into a pro hockey team, and is interviewed by a very pretty young reporter named april o'neil. he's pretty much immediately smitten by her, and they start dating. unfortunately, in his second game in the big leagues, he gets a terrible horrible concussion that leaves him in a coma for a month, and when he comes to, he has amnesia, and doesn't remember much.

the turtles hear about what happened and decide to figure out a way to get him to remember them, and their best solution? grab him and drag him into the sewers. april sees this and thinks they're sewer monsters, and gets a gun to go down there and fight them.

one misunderstanding later, and they're all one big, happy family.

also usagi is there but i haven't decided how he fits in.

[bananabraces]

say and think whatever you want about me and compare our stories as much as you like but you will never understand how it felt to grow up with the long wordy story of how your dad isn't truly your dad and have your parents refuse to let you see your biological father all of childhood due to drug addiction and plain jealousy with the exception of the few times he tried to get clean for you only to find out just how much he tried to see you and how much he cared for you and loved and you and to see the texts between him and your grandmother where he asked if it was too late to see you just days before he overdosed. i'll never forget finding out more than you had ever known about your dad through a funeral pamphlet and the tearful stories your loved ones shared, how my grandpa had to excuse himself with a quivering voice as he talked about his own son dying, how i wasn't even mentioned at all in any of the speeches or the obituary, how my dad knew his little nieces more he ever knew me, how there's a whole family out there who shares the same brown eyes and auburn hair as i do and ive never been apart of it, how i can only see his smile on my face through the mirror.

i miss you so much and im so sorry that i never reached out that i always left you on read and pushed you away i wish we couldve gone to lunch with grandma like she wanted and worked on schoolwork together like you offered. i can't think of you without crying.

[anxsity]

this is in no way meant to be an eloquent statement to those who don’t know whats happening or are still trying to process the gravity of it in regards to the entire cryaotic situation/consequences of it, I just wanted to jot my thoughts down somewhere to get them out of my head.

i stopped watch the lnc around the same time that red left. it just felt so off after that. i’d stop in occasionally for old time sake to get a hit of fond nostalgia but i wasn’t truly invested in it. and it’s just so weird now that everythings come to light to look back on both my own personal perception of people and the fandom’s. the demonization of russ and chey, the mystery surrounding ziegs, and how it felt like cry could do no wrong.

how it was known that chey was 16 when she and cry started dating while he was in his 20s. but i was younger than her at the time so I just naively assumed that people that old would be mature enough to date someone in theirs 20s. looking back on it now as someone older it just makes me want to scream! she was a child what the fuck! 

god i grew up watching cryaotic’s videos. i started learning to draw through stupid fanart of youtube gamers as i watched their videos in sketchbooks with shitty colored pencils. sketchbooks and pages im sure i still have tucked away somewhere. I always had this soft spot for them, and his videos especially. I know a lot of people did. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that you aren’t a child anymore, and he isn’t the person you thought he was.

[teethcake]

Well, been long enough! Think its about time I return here, I miss you all!

While I had a rough rocky few days for a few reasons, im excited to say that I'm coming back ( that be it a little slowly still ) to all i missed and especially you all! I really miss drawing somewhat regularly so I hope here really soon ill be able to FINALLY fulfill my need to draw creepypasta again bc you guys, i miss drawing jeff and EJ and Slender and them all SO much ;;

I might clean my inbox too, i ever so much appreciate all the support asks too, oh my goodness you all are so sweet ;; Ill get too all i can with asks but it can be overwhelming to have the amount i have in my inbox so, going to do some long over due spring cleaning ;; my sincere apologies if I never gotten to your ask/ request. I hope to get to it eventually one day!

That being said, my apologies for being so inconsistent with activity this year. I know i shouldn't say sorry but I appreciate you all sticking arounf with me and enjoying my stuff still! But NOW onto what I really wanna say:

[safetycar-restart]

Hiiiii 🍋 here! This is bit long bc head full many thoughts and also im v wordy sorry

The Seb pitch!! (With fair dosage of Charles and a bit of Lance in the mix oops)

I was thinking past d/s au setting bc it has BEWITCHED me it literally feels like all the itches scratched at once but I digress

I have a lot of feelings about late Ferrari Seb and just. The whole strain of it and how much of a relief it would’ve been to have an outlet like this, an opportunity to just let go. He is curious and even excited, at first, when Ferrari brings in a professional Dom. It will certainly be good for Charles who is on the verge of snapping constantly by then, and will hopefully be very good for him—he’d get to let some steam off for once, follow instructions and just not. Think. At all.

It doesn’t exactly feel right from the get-go, but maybe—maybe it’s normal. Maybe it’s not supposed to, maybe he’ll get used to it, this is a professional, surely, they know what they’re doing, right? Right? But time goes by, and it doesn’t get better, and it feels like someone reaches inside his ribcage every time to rummage about with dirty hands with no regard of what’s inside, and afterwards he always feels used and abandoned and in pieces and usually with a complete wreckage that is Charles on his hands as well, because apparently what happens to them after they finish a scene is not their Dom’s problem.

So he does his own research, and then he goes to the bat with the management to remove this psycho, but nothing happens. The contract is signed for a year already, and in any case, they come highly recommended, maybe he just doesn’t get it, maybe he just needs to try harder?

He tries ignoring the sessions. The problem is, he feels antsy without them, even as bad as they were, restless, and after the third one he’s skipped he gathers enough strength to come pick Charles up, because realistically he can’t be doing too good, what with no aftercare and Seb not there to keep an eye on him afterwards at least a little.

It’s not just not too good—it’s bad. Charles ends up in a cage with a tiger when Seb’s not there, and it takes such a toll on him it’s actually alarming, but he refuses to skip the sessions—he just can’t. But could Seb, maybe, go with him every once in a while? Please? So he wouldn’t be so scared and alone in there?

And it’s not like Seb does half-measures, and to be fair ‘every once in a while’ wouldn’t’ve cut it anyways, so he returns. His body gets less shaky after that, but his skin is still crawling sometimes, and he still gets a lapful of sobbing Charles every time and is completely helpless to do anything about it but keep going and trying to comfort and protect him as best he can.

Then he changes teams. He barely needs half a look at Lance to know that if push comes to shove, he’d have the same exact problem on his hands, and to know that he’d protect him, too, because how can he not? Aston Martin has changed the Dom at Lance’s request, which is encouraging, because at least they listen to their drivers if something is wrong, but also unnerving, because there is no way to know if the new Dom is actually any better without testing it out on their own skins.

The problem is, he is so tired. Has been, for years now.

He comes into the session squared up as if this is the last fight he ever fights, Lance half a step behind him, eyes wary—and you know immediately something is not right. You could’ve chalked it up to being anxious in the face of the unknown if neither of them has subbed before, but you know for a fact that they did, for a full year, and your heart clenches at the thought of what sort of damage had been done for them to come in like that. You’re prepared to go slow, as slow as you possibly can—take them out for a coffee, discuss their limits in as much detail as you can get, assure them that they’re free to set their boundaries and you will respect them, do some non-sexual subbing for quite some time before moving forward. You expect it to be a ride and a half before you get them to be comfortable with you.

The thing is, Seb is so exhausted. He doesn’t realise the extent of it himself, not really, but you can see him slip up, strain to be present during discussions; he admits he doesn’t sleep very well.

“Why don’t you lie down while Lance and I talk things through?” you tell him, and he kind of eyes you and lifts his eyebrows.

“Is that an order?”

“Do I need to make it an order?” you ask, and he starts smiling at that. Shakes his head slightly. You tell him to pass you the pillow from the couch and lay it on your lap. He looks at you curiously again when you gesture at the pillow, but lies down without questioning it.

He is really tired—enough for him to fall asleep in a minute or two, you and Lance quietly talking through some of his remaining concerns. You notice you’ve started to play with Seb’s hair only when Lance smiles at that.

“Did I say you could get up?” you ask when Seb wakes up, and he blinks at you, disoriented at first, but then smiles and lies back down.

“Sorry,” he says, flushing a little. You get him to stay on the couch with you for the rest of the session and even beyond as far as his schedule would allow. He starts to fidget when it gets dangerously close to his next meeting, but you tell him to relax and trust you to know how to take care of him. He looks up at you and swallows. Nods.

It’s the moment you win him over—because all he wanted for so long was for someone to take care of him, even if just for a bit, take the responsibility from his shoulders for just one moment. He almost collapses into your hands as a result, willing to give you whatever you ask of him, and you actually have to hold him back a little because of how eager he is to give back twofold.

It also becomes your thing after that—him lying in your lap, whether it’s because he needs rest, or is lapping at your fingers while Lance helps you get him off, or hides his face in your knees while sitting before you on his heels, whining and straining not to come as a plug is buzzing away deep inside of him and you pull at his hair gently, telling him what a good boy he is, taking it so well for you.

Holy fuck 🍋 this is INCREDIBLE. Seriously this is so SO good I can’t even.... I am so impressed holy fuck.

Ok ok I’m gonna do my best to add some thoughts but I honestly don’t know how I can make this any better because it’s so fucking good.

Seb always trying to look after Charles is so sad but he can’t stop himself. He has to protect charles. Even though he’s so hurt himself, he has to.

I also think that watching Charles get worse and worse also makes it so much worse for Seb? Cause Charles is just.... falling apart.

Seb can turn away and refuse to be dommed and yes he’ll have some negative consequences and eventually have to go back, but at least he can function for a while. Charles can’t. Charles can’t function AT ALL.

And yeah eventually he just has to go back. It’s not any better than it was before. He hates it. And the worst is, he can’t even allow himself to drop deep into subspace and ignore it all, because he has to look out for Charles.

Their aftercare is just Charles sobbing in his chest as he tries desperately to comfort them both.

So yeah, he’s not exactly optimistic with Aston Martin.

While I do think lance had his own problems with aston’s previous Dom, they weren’t as bad as seb’s problems. Which is why lance isn’t quite as bad as Seb when you meet them both.

It breaks your heart to see how Seb immediately pushes lance behind him, trying to protect him. That lets you know immediately that Seb expects you to hurt them.

You sit them down and start to tell them how you work, and you can see how seb’s shoulders start dropping. It’s like the moment his body realises that he’s sort of safe with you, he immediately just drops.

He doesn’t even feel safe, but his mind seems to believe you’re not going to hurt him or lance, and so can’t keep the walls up anymore.

Seb is so surprised when you ask him to lay down. He never expected that. If anything, he thought you might be angry with him for not paying attention.

He’s hesitant to lay on your lap when you offer it, but then you go to the cupboard and fetch a soft, fluffy blanket. And well, a soft pillow on your lap and you have such a nice blanket and honestly he’s just.... he’s so tired.

So he lays down, snuggling against the blanket when you drape it over him and he’s asleep so quickly.

You play with his hair as you discuss things with lance. Lance is weary of you, but much less so now that you have Seb napping on your lap.

Seb wakes with a start, confused by where he is and even more confused to realise he’s very comfy? And he’s not as tired as before?

Of course you’re going to make him stay laying down for longer. You can see how tired how he is, how desperately he needs someone to just take care of him.

You don’t miss the way he relaxes when you say “let me take care of you, I will decide when you have to move. You just lay there until I say so”

He just falls into your domination, so happy to finally have someone there to take care of him, to help him feel better and take the responsibility away from him for a while.

It’s almost overwhelming how quickly Seb allows you to control him, how he just gives himself over to you, like he can’t bare the weight of his own decisions anymore.

He definitely ADORES laying on your lap from then on. Even when things gets sexual, it’s still his favourite. Just letting him rest his head on your lap as you slowly jerk him off is one of his favourite things to do.

I think from there, Seb leans on you a lot? Even when you’re not supposed to be scening with him. He’ll just come to find you, curl up on your lap when he has a few minutes. Or even just talk to you?

He loves grabbing lunch with you, loves how you always listen to his complaints or just talk about his day.

One question still remains though, what about poor charles?

[noodlegirl-googlyeyes]

hey! im noodle, or Ellie, and i was tagged to answer some questions abt myself by the wonderful and very rad @theprocfilesystem, thank you so much!

relationship status: single and not at all looking. i don't know if i ever will be, tbh, mostly just because i don't see myself as the kind of person who would want to. but, since it's late, i'll go ahead and overshare that i do have a regular hookup going with my main gal lliJ (im left handed) that meets my needs for sexual expression quite adequately

favorite color: for a long time it was deep purple! it was my sadboy color for sure. now that im a girl, though, it just feels sad, so i decided my favorite color would be yellow! so, yeah, its yellow :>

favorite food: carne adovada, a New Mexican dish made with Hatch red chile and (usually)pork! red chiles are dried and ground, as opposed to the green variety, which is usually roasted fresh. sauces made with red chile tend to have a very dark, smoky flavor, and have a particularly exquisite spice to them. there are many varieties of a protein in a sauce eaten in/on some carbs, but a carne adovada burrito really stands alone, for me <3

the song stuck in my head: unfortunately, it's 'Hip to Fuck Bees'

the last thing i searched online: i had to start typing in the word 'etiquette' because i couldn't remember how to spell it, but the last actual search i made was 'wired switch controller'(im just gonna get the gamecube style one probs)

the time right now: 11 pm exactly

dream trip: honestly it's less about the location and more about me being somewhere with someone who knows the area and culture well. partially it's because i won't enjoy anything if i don't feel safe, and/or if i feel alone, and partially because i hate being a tourist. i just wanna be there.

something i want: ive wanted to get a PC for awhile, it's been years since i had one. it doesn't have to be super fancy, just something that can handle a half-decent DAW and, like, be able to play my metroidvanias (lone fungus is out now btw and it looks amazing!) cherry on top would be someone to help me get started using linux, bc windows and apple can both go fuck each other.

thanks again for tagging me UwU i appreciate u! i would like to nominate @star-crossed-animals , @spoopyscaryalien , @dominoscarsidedelivery and @zoeadrien but u dont have to if u dont want to! also if u wanna do these kinds of games but no one ever tags u, u always have my permission to say i tagged u :>

in addition i'm adding another question: whats a piece of media(book, movie, show, album/song, etc.) that you feel represents you or an aspect of you that you haven't seen a lot of representation for? i know it's kind of wordy, sorry. but for example, mine is bojack horseman. when i was deep in my dark times, there were so many things about myself i hated. i started watching the show around season two, and i saw some of those parts of me in bojack in a way i'd never really seen before in media. in diane i saw some too, as well as some of the things i'd forgotten i loved about myself, but it was mostly bojack. he is not a good character, or role model, and the fact that i related so much to him was disturbing, sure, but also strangely comforting at the time. as the show continued to air, i grew as a person. i never finished the last season. by the time it came out, my values had diverged so much from his that it was kind of hard to watch. and for all my mistakes, i'm so proud of who i am today compared to that lost, lonely, angry figure slowly torturing himself to death.

like i said, its late so im oversharing lmao anyways ty again and peas and love on planat earf ✌️

Emergency request

REQUESTED BY @haikyutiehoe :okay this is going to be a little complicated but this is an emergency request with a emotional/mental/physical breakdown in response to a new semester approaching rapidly (you had a good but difficult semester last time and one class even drove you to mild self harm - no scars - just the act of hurting yourself out of frustration) With the inariaziki team but with sakusa there too (probably comes around to practice). The reader is their manager and comes into their practice and while the boys r huddled up talking strategy against a practice school you come up behind atsumu and land the hardest fucking punch you can (mainly because he can take it and you just needed to hit something) but you start sobbing right after. how do the boys react? they take you to the boardwalk and try to cheer you up but you’re still pretty upset and broken and everyone takes really good care of you and id love to see kita being the one to really comfort you emotionally with genuine sweet words that make you feel almost better than any hug ever could (although all the boys hug you)and they also somehow get bokuto on a ft to talk to you and calm you before the night ends. 💕 plz i know you’ll do this justice. im sorry if it is wordy and long but i just need to bury myself in these boys also can i kindly request it be kinda long and detailed? again i intend to abs bury myself in this and not emerge for years.

~

@haikyutiehoe I hope you like this and are feeling much better, you always have my love xxx

Warnings; breakdown crying, biting yourself, pulling your hair and low self worth

~

You stare at your new timetable for the semester. The classes so close to each other, the same classes you had only just managed, assigned at the worst times. The memories off the late nights, missed meals and stressed morning flood your head. Why couldn’t your life just be easy?

And to make it worst, the semester starts in two days. Two days to get yourself organised. Two days to attempt to fix your broken schedule. Two days to breakdown before the stress consumes you again and has you lashing out. And those two days speed by.

You’re scrambling to get the right book open, your handwriting messy as you scribble down the words your teacher is saying. Your grip on your pen tighter than your understanding in the class. You can feel your ears warming up as the teacher starts to close their lecture. You look around and can see everyone else relaxed, nodding and you can’t help but feel left behind. And then the bell rings. You thought it would make you feel better, but you can’t even put your things properly in your bag as the students start to leave the room.

It’s too much for you. You can’t seem to get anything right. Your breathing gets heavy and you need to get the frustration out. So you bring your hand to your mouth and bite down hard on your flesh. The harder you bite, the less you think about your previous tension and more on the pain. You pull away and scrunch your eyes to see clearly at the indents on your skin. Dark teeth marks expressing how you felt. But when you hear footstep approaching, your feel your anxiety increasing again, so you pull at your hair hard. Letting out a aggressive shout before grabbing your stuff and heading for the gym. You cringe at yourself for almost forgetting there was a practice match and you needed to be there, as their manager.

When you walk in, you see the boys huddled together. The coach standing back as Kita explains how everyone has a part to play. And you just don’t know what’s got you so angry. Was it how everyone else seemed relaxed? That they were composed while you couldn’t even follow your schedule?

The urge to hit something strikes and you subconsciously thank god for Atsumu coming into your perspective. He’s taken a (unintentional) hit from you before. So you charge at him. His muscular back in front of you as he squirts some water into his mouth, totally unaware that you’re approaching him. Your arm pulled back, fingers forming a fist and you punch him. You punch him so hard the liquid misses his mouth and he yelps.

“What the fuck!” He yells.

He turns around, tongue ready to call you out and insult you for hitting him, but the shake of your shoulders stops him. The gym goes quiet as you sob uncontrollably. Dropping your knees to the ground and covering your face as you cry. Atsumu looks around helpless, not knowing how to react. So he drops onto his knees and wraps an awkward arms round your frame.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” He asks in the softest way, letting you fall into his chest as you continue to sob.

The rest of the team have been watching and abandon their team talk and rush towards you.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Did someone do something?”

“Someone get her some water and a clean towel”

They bombard you with questions and hugs. Aran rubbing your back, Osamu using a towel to clean your tears and Suna handing you some water. They wouldn’t want to make things worse.

“Is she okay?” You recognise the voice, forgetting that Itachiyama’s player, Sakusa Kiyoomi, was coming around to practice some shots. The person you were suppose to greet first and help settle in.

Fresh tears spills when you think about how you couldn’t even do your own job.

“Come and bring her out there.” You hear Kita say and you ball into Atsumu’s chest as he carries you. Your feet weakly hitting the ground as they bring you outside.

You can’t even bring yourself to look at their faces. The embarrassment increasing as they just look at you worriedly. The silence would’ve continued if it wasn’t for the captain speaking.

“Please tell us what’s wrong.” He urges politely.

So you tell him. You tell him how class have you stressed out and panicking and how life is just not working out.

“I’m sorry to hear that. But you should know that we think you are amazing. You always help us out. Always check up on us, stay behind and put up any mishaps. I know school can be hard for some and that it can get overwhelming. But, you can get through it. You’re strong, smart and have so much to offer...” he grabs your hand with your bite marks starting to fade.

“..please don’t hurt yourself. We are here, all of us. If you want, I can help tutor you or we can relax some of your duties? If you feel this way again, do not hesitate to speak to me.” He holds your hand and rubs his thumb against your skin.

“It’s okay to cry from the anxiety. We all know you’ll do amazing again this semester and we all just want you to smile again.” He finishes.

“Please?!” Atsumu pleads.

You start to relax, a small smile growing as you nod at them.

Somehow, they made you FaceTime Bokuto, the person who always cheers you up. His voice booming out the speakers as he asks what’s wrong, if you’re okay and then proceeds to say anything to get you to smile. The voice of his own coach scolding him to get off the phone during practice making you laugh.

“Finally.” The boys around you release a sigh, the smile on your face making their worry fade.

For now you were happy, and they’ll be there to pick you up if you ever fall down again.

[bnha-butterfly]

Hi! Aaaaa it says reqs are open so? Dbdbbff could i pls request the twins suna and kita with a trans male autistic s/o? Like headcanons on how they interact with him or whatever u want really tbh jdndfnn just ignore this if i did it wrong and sorry if i was specific enough. Ty in advance!

 Kita, Suna, Atsamu, Osamu with an autistic trans male s/o

Hi hi random ask again fnfnf so u said u prob might take a while to get around to my request so i figured if i sent this ask in to give further detail it wouldnt like really screw with anything bc u havent started working on it yet? Presumably? Hdhdhf when i sent my req in i didnt really have anything specific in mind outside of general autism but! I did think of more details that i havent seen really talked about in general (in all kinda autism content and discussions ngl) so uh what do u think about adding to my request "low functioning" s/o like cant go to school or get a job bc its just so stressful and s/o cant cope type stuff (bc whenever theres autism representation its always the more "higher functioning" end of things which is like not everyones autism? Like its like that very one dimensional type of autism rep when theres so many different ways it affects ppl and - i am not going to go on a rant in an ask jesus christ im so sorry djdhfh) and dealing with some rejection sensitivity dysphroia/rsd?? Bc these are topics that dont really get covered and all fnfnfn its ok if u dont want/cant add this to my req tho im sorry for just randomly springing more details on you dhdhfb also sorry this is really long and wordy and if its hard to understand i tried to write it in a way thatd make sense dnfjf i just wanted to send this for your consideration ok ty! Sjdjfh 💚💚 💚

A/n - Just as a heads up I try to keep my blog as functioning label free as possible cus they lowkey make me uncomfy (don’t worry I didn’t have it in my rules so it's okay!) I’ll explain why they make me uncomfy/ why I hate them in a different post if anyone wants to know why. 

Kita Shinsuke

  This man always has a stim toy. Realistically he probably has a little pouch in his book bag that he carries with him everywhere that is just full of stim items. There’s a stress ball , a fidget cube and a few other things

Whenever you feel dysphoric he will literally remind you about how handsome you are. I mean like stand you in front of the mirror and point out all of his favorite parts of you

Definitely reminds you to be kind to your body and your brain cus they’re doing the best they can

If he has to cancel plans with you he always makes it up to you and tells you that he’d rather spend time with you.

Kita is so understanding and caring. He understands that school and work aren’t really an option for everyone for different reasons and he definitely understands that both are designed for neurotypical people.

Suna Rintaro

Rin keeps an extra pair of headphones on him at all times for if you get overwhelmed 

If you ever mention to him that you’re going to sleep or if he sending you a good night text he always reminds you to take off your binder

Sometimes he wants to hangout with the team and has to turn you down. He knows RSD can make turning down spending time together feel like a kick in the face so he always promises to spend time with you later and tell you he loves you

If you ever have a low spoons + dysphoria type of day he’s coming over and spending time with you in bed. He’s bringing some of your favorite snacks/drinks/food and one of his hoodies that still smell like him. 

His love language is quality time so he probably takes you on a lot of dates. Especially if they have something to do with your special interest or hyper fixation

Miya Osamu

He learns how to cook all of your safe foods just the way you like it.

Every morning you are greeted with a kiss to your temple and a sleepy Osamu grumbling a soft “good morning handsome” to you.

He understands that work isn’t really for you. But, sometimes he’ll take you with him to the onigiri shop with him to keep him company. 

This man would move heaven and earth to see you happy everyday without hesitation. 

He’s super responsive to all boundaries you have. Don’t want to be touched or cuddled a certain way? Okay. Need him to give you space after a meltdown/shutdown or on extremely dysphoria days? No problem.

Miya Atsumu

If you are nonverbal/semi verbal he definitely made you communication cards. He gave them to you for either an anniversary or your birthday and they are super well done. They’re laminated their color coated and they’re just lovely

He’s such a good listener. He could listen to you talk all day and never get tired. Whether it’s you just talking about insecurities while in bed together or him listening to you talk about a hyperfixation/ special interest you know he’s always willing to listen. 

Insecurities who??? Not with Atsumu around. If he is not kissing away your insecurities he’s making you “laugh away the bad vibes”. 

He always reminds you how much he loves you. He literally will not leave for practice until he gets a kiss and tells you he loves you, it’s gotten him in trouble for being late a few times but he always says he’d do it again. (and he always ends up doing it again)

[whisperingrockers]

would u. i dunno. perhaps articulate some thots on toh infinity train au 😳 if u can

HM. i will do my best. but...i dont really know how to organize my thoughts.  i guess i should probably just start with the characters and go from there, huh. also in this particular au these characters don’t actually take the place of tulip, lake, jesse, grace, etc- i think they’re all just there under different circumstances. 

Luz

okay so we’ll start with Luz because. she’s the main character, y’know. very important. i think the catalyst that brings her to the train is her mother signing her up for Reality Check summer camp because as a creative it’s just! disheartening to have someone you love tell you that you’re not going to make it in this world if you don’t conform to what everyone else wants. so of course when a huge mysterious locomotive suddenly pulls up to the bus stop you KNOW luz gets on, no hesitation. after all, isn’t that something right out of a sci-fi adventure novel? 

unlike tulip, luz is THRILLED to find herself on some unknowable train where each car is a new adventure just waiting to happen, where there are always new friends to make, new places to see, and tons of puzzles to solve? she’s made to feel like the protagonist right out one of her fave animes. 

also, really important to note that her number is probably tied to how she relates to the other passengers on the train. i feel like there’s an overarching theme in the show about how luz is going through a lot of firsts when it comes to interpersonal relationships, especially friendships, so i wanted to keep that going in this au- i imagine her number goes up when she finds her friends tapes and convinces them to watch with her because this is obviously the easiest and most straightforward way to get to know them! (luz poppin that bad boy into a vcr player: this mama is ready for trauma!) 

realized how wordy this is going to be LOL

Eda

hough so this is a human au also (i assume? infinity train world really do be existing in some limbo state of reality where your reflection can just up and ditch you). i see her as a jack of all trades, master of none type, with a lean towards perfumes and handmade soaps that she sells at fairs or farmers markets and also pickpocketing. i think she sees something that reminds her of the life she used to have/would have had before lilith [redacted because i do not know what she DID yet but on GOD we will have canon continuity] and that drives her to get on the next train headed anywhere.

her number is tied to how much she allows herself to open up; the more she uses her salesman cover to keep others at arms length, the higher her number goes, which is why it’s so important for her to team up with King and Luz; they help her open up and be more honest with herself.  

King

king is actually a denizen of the train in this au; i love him too much to turn him into a real ass dog, so i wont. eda meets him in a car full of plush toys, which he refers to lovingly as his army of the damned. i almost want to hold off on writing up any more for him because i know there’s more to king’s character than meets the eye. still torn between eda trying to bring him off the train with her or having him realize that the whole TRAIN is HIS KINGDOM, and all its passengers loyal peons who need their mighty rulers HELP, for without him they would PERISH.

for now though eda sees him and is immediately like get over here (reaching emoji) 

Willow 

willow is a tough one for me because in all honesty having your longtime friend tell you out of the blue that they can’t be friends with you anymore would be enough to send me packing to the train, but with willow i think it’s less about amity and more about how the fallout between them affects her social and academic success. the frustration reaches a tipping point that has her running out of the classroom and finding the train. 

and yes, willow is a very sensible, bright girl, but she was also SO ready to trick the principle and steal from the emperor for her friend so i don’t think getting on a mystery train is wholly out of the question for her, y’know? 

There’s a lot about repression in the way willow deals with things generally, so her number is tied to passivity. the more she allows others to infringe on her personal boundaries to keep them placated, the higher her number goes. when she stands up for herself to others (sometimes even her friends!) the number goes up. willow x agency and clear limitations is my otp

Gus

gus was actually a SUPER easy one for me we know so much about him from the episodes he’s been in; he’s an overachiever, he’s passionate about what he loves, he’s a natural showman, and he is constantly pushing himself to be the best that he can be, all the time. the hustle doesn’t STOP for gus, and i...i...(tears up) 

anyways, i think the thing that draws him to the train is getting suddenly ousted from the club he formed at school. he’s young, and having everyone you had assumed were your friends turn their back on you and throw you out of the space that you CREATED FOR THEM would be shocking to anyone, but it broke gus’ heart clean in two. after he’d picked his bag and himself up off the hallway floor, he’d left the building in a daze, not even realizing as he boarded the train door that had suddenly opened up in front of him until it was too late. 

i’m actually going to go so far as to say that gus would likely be the one MOST interested in the truth of the train- he’d be asking the tough questions, like what is the purpose of the train? who made it and its technology? where does it exist that it can be both at his school and also speeding across a barren desert landscape at the same time? How does it create sentient lifeforms? the train helps him discover a new passion; journalism. he finds a journal that speaks to him as a friend and advisor in one of the trains, and he takes careful note of everything that happens to and around him. by the time he meets up with willow, he’s got so many ideas and theories that the other girl would have never thought to consider until that very moment. 

idk what his number relates to because he’s perfect the way he is but if i had to take a shot in the dark it probably has something to do with finding somewhere he feels he can belong, as well as being able to mourn and let go of the people he’d considered his friends before he’d gotten on the train. 

sorry this is so long i just have a lot of . gus feelings. 

Amity ( + Edric + Emira )

lumping these whites together 

okay so nobody wants to hear me talk about blight angst there are 800 posts about blight angst, so long story short the three siblings run away, get into an argument with each other, amity ditches them for the train while they’re asleep, and the twins panic and chase after her, determined to find her because in the end they’re all they’ve got. 

‘next stop: amity blight’ 

i think it’d be a cool journey to see the three of them going from ‘we need to be together out of necessity’ to ‘we need to be together because we love each other, and that genuine support structure will pull us through when everything else fails.’ but in order for that to happen they all have to have their own journey, so at some point edric and emira finally get into a spat and that’s enough to get edric and emira stuck on opposite ends of a retracting bridge. send that mans to the BACK of the train. 

emira: my greatest fear is being stuck with edric forever emira: (gets separated from edric)  emira: haha wait please say psyche

amity’s number is definitely tied to her fear of failure, of not being enough for the people she holds closest to her- in this case her siblings, and then lilith, and then luz when they finally meet. when she acts without concern for what the people around her think and when she sticks up for what she knows is right, even when the majority is against her, her number goes down. 

for ed and em im...i don’t want to think about their feelings because they’re supposed to be clowns but i am forced to consider that they may be jealous of their sisters independence. also separating them means they both have to take responsibility for all their own actions and choices, which is probably pretty new for the twins. 

Lilith 

im out of energy actually znzzzsnsz uh. estranged sister who sees something that reminds her of the relationship she used to have and she’s not actually as over it as she thought so the train....she..hghrg
