📂ㅤAS AN OLDER BROTHER?ㅤ. . .ㅤriddle x sibling!reader ★

synopsis. what, perchance, would heartslabyul's riddle rosehearts be like as an older brother? my personal not very in-depth analysis.

i. Stated in the absolute nicest way possible, I feel as though Riddle's younger sibling would have experienced the very brunt of his pre-overblot behaviour. The strictness; the over-studying; the routines; they have lived through just as much as the Heartslabyul dorm members, but probably twice as bad.

Though, what makes you, said Rosehearts sibling, different from the Night Raven College students? You have never been subjected to the ghastly collar treatment. Why is that? Alongside whatever lessons and such are put in place by your mother, Riddle's routines are personally tailored for the very purpose that you will attend Night Raven College alongside him one day. Thus, you know the rules.

So when you began your studies as a first year, just as Riddle was entering his second, you found yourself the most burdened student in the Heartslabyul dorm with your elder brother constantly on your back. Yet your dorm mates viewed you as the most studious, the one to turn to if not to Vice Trey Clover — and just as much as both you and they wished that you were able to negotiate Riddle out of more lenient sentences, you were unable to. But you could do your very best in helping everybody avoid them, by letting them know of their rule-breaking in advance to Riddle noticing.

(Not that any of your warnings would have ever stopped a particular Trappola, no matter if you yanked that chestnut tart from his hands and stomped on it.)

ii. After fourth period, back to the dorm and cram in an hour's worth of studying as Riddle has his afternoon tea. Then, assist in preparing for the unbirthday party. Once finished assigned tasks, studying until the party's start. You regularly find your schedule filled to the brim on the daily, handwritten and placed on your desk personally by your generous older brother by the time you even awaken. On one hand, it's agitating. On the other, you know that it's just a way that has been drilled into his head by your mother, that good grades and an ace magical ability is what is expected of those coming from your golden lineage. (Thanks to this schedule that he keeps you to religiously, you are placed top of the class for the first years. Rendering the Rosehearts name to be dominating the academic boards for two different years.)

iii. However, he will not just leave you to your own devices for this schedule. He will regularly check in on you as you are studying, inquiring as to what it is that you are working on at the time. As much as it is to snoop and ensure you're not slacking off, it is also a way to ask whether there is anything that you are currently struggling with. He will not even acknowledge the rift he causes in his own schedule as he merely sits opposite you to help you with something that you are finding difficult.

iv. If there is anything at all regarding you that annoys him, it's your budding friendship with Ace. Maybe at first it was a subtle fear that his troublemaking ways will become a bad influence on you, but then that annoyance grew as the ginger continued to pull you away from your studies time and time again. At the beginning, you were extremely hesitant to follow him as he grabbed your hand and pulled you away from your desk, calling you boring. But as this continued, you began to hide the fact you were even disappearing, which irked Riddle to no end. He would unapologetically storm the dorm in order to find where you two were hiding, intending to off Trappola of his head the very second he sees him. Yet why couldn't Riddle notice the irony which was his hatred of this friendship, and how he was projecting his own friendship with Trey and Chen'ya onto you two?

v. During the events leading up to Riddle's overblot, I see both Ace and Deuce working their little socks off as they attempt to get you on their side of the rebellion. But the fact your brother is practically your shadow whilst in the dorm, it was impossible for them to get you alone long enough to complain about him. Especially considering you'd find Riddle sitting with you as you study increasingly often to bat Ace and his truancy away.

vi. Yet, your dorm life did tend to get increasingly better after Riddle overblotted. Him coming to terms with who he is and what he has gone through, recognising his tyrannic ways and accepting that he can be better. To some degree, he saw you as the poster child of how miserable his influence has made the dorm. Noticing and regretting the fact that he has treated you just as harshly as his mother did to him, becoming the very person that caused him to be as he is. Although his vow to be more lenient with the rules was a substantial change for most Heartslabyul students, you were definitely the one that experienced the most change after he came to his senses.

vii. You immediately noticed the fact that you wouldn't find a lengthy schedule on your desk anymore when you woke up. His handwritten notes were no longer a daily thing, instead, becoming almost termly and coinciding with your timetabled lessons. It became less of a minute-by-minute routine, and more of a general sheet of paper to look at before the day to see what classes you have, and what dorm events are planned. Although there would still be jotted timeslots for studying, they'd be a lot less like in-negotiable demands, and more friendly reminders that Thursday morning at 10:15am, you don't have any lessons so you could probably get some homework done.

viii. His random visits while you're studying, or just generally doing whatever as you have a lot more time and freedom on your hands now, become a lot less frequent and imposing. Yet when he does appear, you notice how the way he approaches you is a lot different from before. Rather than what you're studying, he would ask how you're doing. Not academically, but mentally. He would begin to show genuine concern about your wellbeing, taking into account the stress of school, which was not something he batted an eyelash about before.

ix. Deep, probably late-night conversations leading to that winter break planning the discussions you two are going to have with your mother when you return home for the holidays. Despite it being a difficult subject to discuss, it proves to become an extremely helpful icebreaker between you two. Acknowledging the source of your respective traumas, and coming up with a plan in order to settle everything once and for all. Which would probably take a whole lot of effort, and even more time, but if you two can discuss that of all things, then you'd probably be able to discuss absolutely anything.

x. Pre-overblot Riddle would probably burst a blood vessel at even the thought of you wasting your time and effort on boys. But he'd likely mature quite a bit afterwards when it comes to the subject, with some guidance and (some good, some bad) advice from Trey and Cater. Sure, he'd have his own personal preferences for brother-in-law. He wouldn't want you to date any really bad influences, but he supposes he cannot really stop you from doing what you want. Just don't expect to make it public that you're dating Floyd and not have Riddle banging your door down with the reddest face you've ever seen.

(Just please, please, please don't let it be Ace. He already sees enough of him as it is.)

First post (well, second post. i also have the feysands wedding, but that is not what i want to write. or yes, anyway), as i was saying, first post of the account, and im SUPER EXCITED. i want to dedicate this first post to @danikamariewrites , she is the nicest person ive ever talked to, and she has helped me with this. so this is for her and for everyone who loves Cass, like me.

WARNINGS: mentions of blood and death, angst with a happy ending.

WORD COUNT: 904

In another life…

You were dying. It was the only thing he could think about. His couple. His soulmate, his entire life, was fading in front of him and there was nothing he could do about it.

The war was over. A war that had lasted 100 years, generation after generation fighting for a free country, but at what cost? How many lives had to be sacrificed to have that freedom?... and you were the last of it.

You were the greatest warrior the world had ever seen. Known throughout the world for your exploits. Ballads were sung in your honor and stories were told by the bonfire. But you were dying. And Cassian knew that he shouldn't have left you alone, he knew that he should have been by your side.

He was the one who found you with a sword stuck in your belly, he was the one who took you to the camp and now he would be the one who would see you die.

You opened your eyes and next to you was Cassian with his head bowed, you heard a murmur coming from his lips and just by the position you knew that he was praying and they could only mean two things: either you were dying or you were going to recover.

Cassian noticed your gaze and raised his head. You were dying then. They say that the eyes are the reflection of the soul and Cassian's soul was dying.

“Cassian…” a thin voice left your lips.

A tear ran down his cheek and you felt his hand caressing your cheek, but you almost didn't feel anything anymore, you were so weak that you couldn't grab his hands, feel them for the last time between yours.

You looked away and scanned the room. You see your sisters, your friends and your most faithful companions. Tears ran down everyone's cheeks, the smell of salt filled the room, and the bond between you and Cassian was fading. You looked back at Cassian, and with your last strength you made him a promise:

“Cassian… I promise you that we will meet again in another life… I promise you that I will not stop looking for you… I will travel through the sky and sea to find you… I will fight until my last breath… and if in that life I have not found you yet… I will look for you in the following…"

You closed your eyes and with your last breath you murmured: “I love you…”

And with that last I love you, Cassian burst into tears.

On a street in Velaris…

You left the store with two more daggers for your collection. Your family never understood your love for daggers, they said that daggers were not for women. And every night, you dreamed of the same thing: you were running through a green meadow, you were laughing, and it was a happy laugh. And then you heard it. A humorous laugh, full of happiness and when you turned to see his face, you woke up. And some nights you dreamed that you were fighting. Surrounded by faceless people and back to back with someone tall and muscular. And his voice... was serious, like the laughter of the dream of the meadow. And when you wanted to see your companion's face, you woke up.

You sighed, starting to walk towards the bridge, thinking about the times you tried to see his face, but it was an impossible mission.

You were halfway across the bridge when you suddenly felt a chill that ran down your entire spine. And then you heard it. That laugh. The one you had been listening to for so many centuries, night after night, dream after dream trying to see his face. Discover if his laugh was as beautiful as his face.

With your heart racing you decided to turn around... You saw it. And he was the most beautiful man you had ever seen in your life. Illyrian. You recognized him by his wings. Long hair collected in a bun that left the features of her face visible.

Cassian noticed your gaze and turned, as soon as his eyes met yours, the distant memory of a room flooded your mind and there he was. Holding your hand on your deathbed, tears flooded his cheeks, softening his face. The echo of a promise of eternal love. And the mating bond began to shine like a star in the sky.

From one moment to the next, you both started running and merged into a hug full of love and longing. Your feet touched the ground and his hands ran down your body until they reached your cheeks. His thumbs caressed your cheekbones so tenderly that you began to cry. Cassian rested his forehead against yours. His voice sounded full of love and emotion when he said:

“You're here” he kissed your forehead. “You are here, with me” he kissed your nose and cheeks. “You don't know how long I've been waiting for you, how long I've longed to feel you in my arms again.”

“Yes Cassian, I'm here” you moved closer to his mouth, and when there were only a few centimeters left between your lips. “And I won't leave again.”

After decades, centuries. After waiting entire lifetimes trying to find each other, you sealed your lips, this time promising not to separate again.

if you don’t mind my asking, what were the best/worst parts about living in ireland to you?

stuff i LOVED: everyone was the nicest person ive ever met im not even JOKING... wahh... my first day some lady paid my bus fair and was just so overwhelmingly kind about it... i loved living in dublin for the ability to go into a city (i am from a very rural area and it was LOVELY) and see big old buildings and museums and pubs and get to do all these things that i just never had the option to do... public transportation ruled.... and i got to TRAVEL for so much cheaper than we do in the USA and i made a lot of FRIENDS both international and irish and american.... went to irish oktoberfest with a bunch of germans and italians and taught them how to play FLIP CUP cuz they didnt know... went to scotland with my roommates and friends.... drank a lot of guinness and walked around all the parks... saw the bog bodies at the natural history museum... got drunk adn walked around temple bar... bahhh i REALLY did like it whenever i wasnt trapped inside the house...

Stuff i HATED under the cut it has truly nothing to do with the country it was my living situation. lol. well actually im gonna be honest the weather was ASS but i knew that goin in. got to see some rainbows who CARES:

um the BIGGEST THING. was that my living situation was five alarm bell insane. i had to pick a place before flying over so i only saw it over facetime(RUH ROH) and my landlords did not seem interested in providing me and my roommates (two other american girls in their mid twenties) with a liveable space like at all. they never turned the heat on (i was shivering literally constantly. the other girls showered at the university bc it was literally too cold to do it at home. AND they didnt let us buy any electronics without prior approval so we could not buy like. a space heater. it was CRAZY i could see my breath in my ROOM...). they didnt allow any visitors not even my MOM to let me move in. there was a curfew they didnt tell us about. we didnt have a sink in our kitchen (and we had to walk outside to a different part of the building to access it). there was mold EVERYWHERE.AND apparently the reason we were living there was to fund house renovations so they were constantly kicking us out of our rooms to let in builders/construction people (one of the final straws was my roommate coming back from xmas break to find that they had moved her and ALL her stuff out of her room to do a renovation literally without telling her lol. they moved a WALL and we didnt have a SINK STILL...). they tried to enter my room without my permission. and all of this was PROHIBITIVELY expensive like genuinely i could have gotten a studio with the fees i was paying (and they made us pay in cash so. ATM fees compounded all that lol) BUT. they had us trapped in this ILLEGAL lease that stipulated that if we moved out we would owe our ENTIRE remaining rent for the agreed lease period. we sent this to a lawyer later he was like these guys are buckshit insane. i firmly believe they chose american girls and didnt let our parents like. even see the exterior of the house because they knew our moms would call bullshit immediately but WHATEVERRR... anyways after i left i found out that they had a secret baby that they didnt tell us about either. CRAZY!!!!

my school program also was not the most rigorous AND my migraine symptoms started while i was over there soooooo in addition to literally being cold ALL the time, i had NO idea what was going on with my head/health + i didnt really have the resources to find a new place/fight with my landlords + i was rapidly running out of money bc of how expensive everything about my housing was + i wasnt even getting the education i wanted because my professors sucked ass. so when i went home for winter break i just didnt come back ! and i got my roommates to send my stuff to the states. it was like the most insane six months of my life i lost like ten pounds from stress lol

[everytimewetouch-dot-mp3]

today has been such a good day 😭 it took forever to return my router to the wifi store, and i’ve got the worst headache + cramps combination i’ve had in a year, BUT:

tl;dr: so many good things have happened recently, and i’m trying to trust that sometimes good things happen and don’t have to be balanced out by horrible things. i’m so grateful for the good things that have happened, and i’m trying to acknowledge that i had a part in bringing them into reality

i got the keys to my new apartment, and it’s the nicest place i’ve ever lived. like i’m waiting for them to take my keys back and tell me it was a prank, obviously they’re not gonna let some WIC beans-and-rice, food stamps-raised, homeless in high school fuckhead live in such a beautiful building. but they are. they approved my cat, they’ve got my move-in fees, i’ve got the loading dock reserved for move-in day.

my new apartment isn’t infested with roaches. i cried just being in the space for the first time and feeling like. a real person. not like a shameful creature who can’t let their friends come over because of the infestation.

i got to see my best friend, the (platonic) love of my life. it’s not a rare occurrence for me to see her, since we live like 5 (soon 3!!!!) metro stops apart. and she came with me to see the apartment. she asked the questions i didn’t know to ask, and i was able to give her remote access to the building, which is as close as i can come to giving her a spare key

i got an incredible deal on a new bed. the mattress i have now has sunk in the middle and there are a few springs poking through, and it hurts so much to sleep on it. i was resigned to sleeping on my couch for a month or so while i saved to get a nice bed, because ive never had like a Nice Bed. and just idly checking wayfair, i saw a bed frame i loved that was at a $900 discount. nine hundred us dollars off. i never would’ve been able to get something like that if it was full price. and then i found a mattress that was well-reviewed and firm and also discounted. so now i’ll only be sleeping on my couch for like a week.

i was notified that they’re processing my upcoming promotion at work. it’s a $14.3k raise. that’s not a number that would ever have existed to me before, and now they’re processing it, and like. it’s real. that’s happening to me. they’re trusting me with a big like, mission-critical project and they’re increasing my pay and it’s because i earned the trust and the raise, not just because they felt bad for me???

i’m so overwhelmed. when i was a kid i thought all i could ever be was somebody’s wife and somebody’s mother. and now im neither of those things, and im loved and im safe and im finally moving out of this apartment full of shame into a place i can feel proud of.

hello this is the nicest thing ive ever read about my art oh my goodness thank u so much <3

[bellehalla]

Ok so i was going to mention this in the ao3 comments but since youre active on tumblr i thought why not just come here!

So ive been re-reading rf again (for the 7th time... sorry) and im not sure if ive already mentioned this or if somebody else did but ive been thinking about kaeyas nickname for reader-dove, and the symbolism behind that because like- DOVE the animal representative of peace and love and FREEDOM, being placed on reader means so much. The story literally deals with the tension between inazuma and mond, reader being from inazuma and having such a great sincere love and sense of protection for mondstat is such a good character out of all to be named dove, especially from kaeya's perspective, he sees her as a symbol of genuineness compared to the other soldiers, someone who has risked their life for freedom when leaving inazuma, for peace when sacrificing themselves for ewald, and love for confessing to kaeya knowing she could have gotten in so much trouble. Reader is unapologetically so caring and delicate with everyone, a blanket of security that kaeya indulges in and lets his walls fall down around, his dove and flash of light in the grittiness of war. Im so sorry i could talk abt them for days😭😭 i love kaeya and reader and cant wait for their comeback, i hope you are doing well and thank you for such a well done fic, i know its not complete but ive read it so many times and genuinely it is better put together than about half of the books on my bookshelf😭 take care!

selkified! You are always the sweetest. ❤️❤️❤️

and ohmygod you made me fall in love with reader all over again. you're right, she's so sweet and genuine, which is what kaeya's character is attracted to the most, especially in the beginning of their relationship.

while writing them, i had to find a common ground for the two to connect. Kaeya seems like the type of character that needs deep and genuine connection for him to...obsess over someone enough that he will do batshit crazy stuff for them. reader's unapologetic perspective in freedom and chasing after what you want are quite contrasting to what we know of Kaeya's lore. he's used to hiding behind deception, despite the fact that he's very much driven by love. he suffered so much ever since his childhood, and reader's outlook in life is like a fresh air to him. but it's sort of unfamiliar to him that it feels scary. if you squint enough, he's not exactly the nicest to reader's feelings either. he doesn't know what to do with her lol he leads her on a lot then squash her feelings last minute

as for his nickname, dove, i didn't originally mean for it to stick. (i was in a Hawks (MHA) high and fanon Hawks uses "dove" a lot so i kind of wanted to implement it.) i did a research and found it to be perfect and now Raging Fires!Kaeya hasn't let go of this nickname since then. since Rin Minamoto isnt really reader's actual name, Kaeya had to use a more personal name for her, and that happened to be an endearment. i'm glad everyone is positively reacting to it too lol

anyway your insights are well appreciated. im also glad you are loving them !!!

[problematicfactive]

we gained 2 factives of a problematic source a year or so ago. the first being a malicitor who abused most of the system, and the 2nd being a mood booster who is literally one of the nicest ppl ive ever met. though jst this year, we found out that the person that the first is a factive of isnt even problematic at all n literally is the exact opposite of our factive of them. AND the person that the 2nd is a factive of was exposed for being a problematic person?? kinda ironic ig xd (they r both now veryy source separate bc of this )

very ironic

[ask-the-clergy-bc]

Hi! So i wanted to ask this when I turned 21 in March but they were closed at the time so I’ll do it now. How would the papas (II,III,&IV) and their Fem! s/o or friend if you’re not comfortable putting them with someone at 21 (or you can do both, I’ll leave that up to you) go out and celebrate their 21st birthday?

Oh man, this is so late! But I hope you had an AMAZING birthday!!

Went with friend/besties/little sibling Reader and emphasized a lot of having your first drink, lol. Whoops! Please enjoy!!

(Tags for: Drinking, Alcohol, marijuana usage, black out drunkenness, consensual drinking games and general partying shenanigans. )

Papas Celebrating Reader's 21st Birthday!

(Young) Papa Nihil: You can't have a 21st birthday without a groovy party can you? Luckily for you, Nihil is going to throw you the best one you've ever had!! It ends up being smaller than most grand parties, but Nihil feels like the best parties are the smaller cocktail ones! All hand picked friends of yours and an EXCLUSIVE guest list! He hires so many bar tenders, gets all your favorite food and horderves on trays passed around, and the best live music anyone could ask for... his band! Not with him, this time. He's going to be too busy getting you there and introducing you to some of the best people in the business! Sister is even there and gives you two quick pecks on the cheek, wishing you a good birthday (which you better have because this is through clergy funds!) Nihil buys you the most over the top birthday cake and leads EVERYONE to sing Happy birthday to you! And if you were up for a REALLY boss time, Nihil helps you try your first bit of pot. He's very protective of you the entire night, so that you can drink and partake in things safely. Over all, it's the best night!!

Papa I: (This is for all of my non-partying Ghesties who like a chill night!) Papa had started your birthday out by personally delivering his gift to you and a jar of potion. When you asked what was in the jar he simply informed you it was a hang over cure. As much as you appreciated it you ended up laughing and having to explain that you weren't planning on drinking THAT much! When Papa politely asked about your plans for your birthday and found you weren't doing much, he offered to make a special night for you. You felt bad imposing at first, but he insisted keeping to yourself on such a special milestone would be too lonely! Papa took you and some of your closest friends and ghouls to get your favorite take out, arranged a movie night, and even gifted you with a favorite bottle of wine and mead. Papa dislikes you feeling like you aren't a priority, so he will always make your birthdays special! You were happy to say your first ever drink was one of the best wines you ever had with your favorite adopted Papa!

Papa II: Papa is actually going to be the nicest big brother figure you ever had when it comes to your birthday. Unlike how he was for Papa III (yes they are around the same age, but he let his younger brother get so smashed they were both sick for a week.) Holds you the classiest yet fun birthday party! Teaches you how to pace yourself and find drinks you actually like. Papa more focuses on having a party that makes your night the focus on whatever it is you want to do! Much to your delight and partial embarrassment, he makes the most heartfelt toast about you with the most expensive champagne money can buy! The glasses of champagne also coming from a giant glass pyramid of bubbly that he poured himself just for you! Your night is filled with so much well wishing, gifts, and Papa giving you the clergy credit card for WHATEVER your heart desires! You even get a small, "I'm proud of you and the adult you are becoming" from Papa.

Papa III: This is the Papa you have to worry about the most, because he believes you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO CELEBRATE! 21st birthday? You need to go BIG AND OVER THE TOP!! That's a huge milestone AND you can legally drink!! Since you are so close, Papa gets you a drink before you even go to the over the top birthday party he threw for you! Gifts you with a nice vodka of your favorite flavor that he INSISTS is easy to take a shot to (it's not). You're like the baby sibling he never had, so this party is grand and he makes sure you get everything you want! The only draw back is that he gets you one of those plastic Mardi Gras necklaces with a shot glass, where you're expected to drink whatever anyone puts in it. For funsies you do agree to it... With the stipulation that HE has to wear the same one! All the ghouls, friends, and party goers have fun saddling you and Papa with whatever they could think of. You don't remember anything after actually entering the party. Which was held in a rented ballroom space with food and decorations fit for royalty. But you are told you both had a great time and that you loved all of your gifts! You never trusted Papa with the shot glass necklace again. Not after the major hangover you had!

Papa IV/Cardinal Copia: Threw you a surprise party for your birthday! Copia was so full of indecision of what to do but the band ghouls convinced him a big over the top party was the answer! Actually, Copia AND the band planned everything! He took care of the venue, the Cirrus and Cumulus did all of the decorating, Aether got the gifts, Sunshine got fireworks (bless them), Rain and Mountain found catering, and Swiss and Sodo got the booze... a lot of it, actually. Copia's job was to pay and to get you to the party without spoiling the surprise! AND IT WAS A SURPRISE! You've never seen so many people at one party JUST FOR YOU! Like with Papa III, you really wished you could have remembered the second half of your party. Because you and Copia get dragged to do shots with the ghouls. The last thing you remember is Sodo, Swiss, and Aether chanting 'CHUG' before waking up hung over in the ghoul pile. Copia does feel bad you ended up so wasted, so he makes it up to you when his own hang over is gone. You get an extra birthday outing to get breakfast, sans mimosas of any kind!

cw: SA, intrusive thoughts

ok so i know ive told yall some of this but idk how much ive told yall. so bassically three years ago there was this man who would hold the door for my bus since we always got there late so we would get locked out. keep in mind i know i shouldnt feel obligated to share what i was wearing but i cant help but feel that might be part of the reason why he targeted me. my favorite shirt was a sheer blue shirt that you could see my bra through if you looked close enough. this was during winter and i took my coat off on the bus since i didnt want to deal with it at school. he would ask me if i was a Eskimo (im mexican) and i would tell him no and keep walking. he had jolly ranchers and would give everyone some, but he gave me more than everyone else. he would give me double sometimes triple what everyone else got. i found it creepy so i never ate them, i just put them in my backpack and threw them out at the end of the year. everyday, when he held the door for me, and i watched how he treated everyone else and it was only me, he would take up more and more of the doorway everyday. like the first day he would take up a little, the next he would take up a little more, until he got to the point where he wasnt touching me (since im pretty sure its illegal) but that i knew he could if he wanted to. at the same time he would wait outside my fifth hour while we all waited in a line since my teacher went to the bathroom before class. he started by standing in the center of the hallway, and didnt leave until i made eye contact with him. everyday he got closer, until again he didnt touch me, but he was less than a foot away, and he had me cornered. i knew he could do whatever he wanted and no one would see. this lasted about two weeks and ended on december 16, 2023. I remember because it was a thursday and i was so happy the next day when he disappeared. idk if it was just this or something else that ive blocked out, but im terrified of men. like just in general. its been three years and i cant look my band teacher in the eye. ive had him for three years. i couldnt hug my dad for the first three months. my dad is one of the nicest people ive ever met. i know he would never knowingly take advantage of someone. i cant talk to my english teacher alone, i need my friend to go with me to ask to go to the bathroom. but dont worry this is a happy story. so sorry but im gonna give yall even more context. so my school take all the music kids of my grade to a like smaller amusement park, which isnt near us, its a good drive to get there. its kind of a big deal. plus we have one in our town, but its a lot smaller than the one we went to. so anyway the trip was today, and the band group took a picture together. i was in the back row, and idk if the guys in front of me knew i was there or how close i was to them but i was pretty close. like i could see the creases on the back of one of their necks. i could smell him. (he had some sort of cologne on, not axe body spray but close) but i didnt freak out or anything. like i noticed, but i didnt go home and have a panic attack or anything, i wasnt convinced that he was gonna r@pe me, nothing. i was fine. do you have any idea how long its been since i could say that. since i could say that i was fine and mean it. i didnt have a panic attack, didnt hurt myself (i did break my streak a little big ago, but thats because since were at the end of the school year im very sleep deprived and i have exams and i started working plus taekwondo so im busy and tired. and when im tired i take everything personally) its been three years since i could say i was fine and truly mean it. i still get a little weird around guys/men, but its getting better. now its only physical proximity, i can look them in the face! i know this probably sounds sad but im honestly happy. also quick question.

oh i have too much personal lore lmfao my friend told me once "mollie every time you open your mouth i have no idea what's coming next". hmmm. i think ive already talked about meeting jon stewart when he was doing his vets lobbying stuff in dc on here, but there's that. and like 20 minutes before that i met bernie sanders lol, busy day!

should we just make this politicians mollie has interacted with. i met kamala harris in 2018 and i know ppl have (mostly correct) opinions about her being too moderate, but she was very genuinely kind. my friends and i showed up to her office like on the verge of passing out from heat exhaustion after a protest and she was 20 minutes late to another meeting to get us all shuffled in/send her aides around to feed us/get us gatorade and talk to us.

chris murphy is nice but i got a bad taste in my mouth from how good-press focused his team was. they told journalists we were coming w/o really giving us a heads up and we literally had to like, run away after to avoid them bc it wasn't planned press that we could prepare for. (this was like 2 weeks after the uvalde shooting and i was with a school shooting survivors and allies lobbying group)

didn't personally meet mitch mconnell but his staffers are assholes and ive been yelled at by them. by contrast ted cruz's staffers were the nicest republican staffers i ever interacted with. we were doing a sit in his office (this was 2018) and the capitol police were like- trying to bait his staffers into having us arrested. to which his staffers said (in more professional terms) bug off they're literally just sitting on the floor its fine.

i know the gen z congressman from florida bc he's an alum of a non profit i've done a lot of activism work with and i can't speak highly enough of him. i heard him speak for the first time in someone's living room in early 2020 before a quite risky protest action we were both a part of and vividly remember thinking "this kid is going to be president someday". i stand by it 1000%. he's a good kid and very smart.

bernie is super nice and has a good sense of humor. marco rubio cancelled a meeting with a group i was with once bc he was concerned that a certain school shooting survivor activist that was going to be there would "traumatize him" LMFAO.

everytown as a larger org sucks pls don't donate to them for the ending gun violence cause. shannon watts is an asshole and had me blocked for a long while, only to unblock me when i was part of something (the thing with max mentioned above) that made national news and she unblocked me to interact with viral tweets i was in. i recommend ppl donate to change the ref instead. i know the parkland parents that founded it and consider them saints amongst mere mortals.

Hi, i just found you and your art on Twitter today, and I went through as much of your media tab as Twitter allowed me in one sitting. I am floored with what I saw and so happy I found you. I wanted to write you to thank you, deeply, for sharing your work! My two most beloved characters of fate/ are Artoria and Ushiwakamaru, as well, and I really, really love how you express their personalities, charm points, struggles (they're both from epic poem tragedies after all) and more with your work. I feel really inspired after looking at your art to keep trying to work on my own so I can share my Artorias and Ushis, too. Again, thank you! I really look forward to whatever you decide to share, whenever you decide to share!

happy birthday s ✨💗✨💗✨💗✨!!!! this is the third birthday message i’ve sent you since we met which is like... incredibly wild to think about. time sure does pass! and i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: i am so glad fate’s hand had us both decide to start our silly little one direction blogs within a day of each other one fine pandemic day! the universe knew we would need a little buddy to both complain with and have fun with in equal measure! i feel like i’ve found a true friend in you, beyond just silly fandom shenanigans, true actual friendship. i’m so lucky to have met you and your friendship has meant so much to me these past few years. you’re such a uniquely wonderful person- so caring and supportive, can never fail to make me laugh and impress me with how clever and quick witted you are, and incredibly smart, emotionally intelligent, and perceptive. i love the way you view the world and i regularly want to steal your brain. i endlessly admire your tenacity, resilience, strength, and authenticity. even when i felt like i couldn’t talk to anyone about something, i always knew i could talk to you and i’ve appreciated that immensely + i hope i have been that for you as well. our friendship was built on the foundation of our shared unpopular opinions lmao and it’s been a true gift having someone to bounce thoughts off of in that way without judgement or insecurity, but it’s grown into so much more than that. you’re an endlessly comforting and warm presence in my life. may your year be filled with like a thousand cats! you deserve it! and beyond that (obviously) most important criteria of a good year, i hope this year is incredibly fulfilling for you and filled to the brim with wonderful new memories. i love youuuuuuu

oh kay i genuinely don’t know what to say 🥺 this is without a doubt one of the sweetest messages ive ever received in my life. you are truly one of the nicest humans ive ever had the absolutely pleasure of crossing paths with and i feel so so grateful to know you ❤️ it’s the way we just GET each other <3 thank you thank you forever for your sweet words and genuine friendship. love you so much ❤️

Top 5 EPs: Picastro — I’ve never met a stranger

Way way back in Stylus days, maybe the nicest single “promo” email I’ve ever gotten (still to this day, actually) is one that Liz Hysen from Picastro sent me. I’ve just found out now that I don’t have the actual email, apparently it was to some other address and the oldest thing in my gmail now is one a few exchanges into the conversation where I switched to my main address. But it was (unlike most “listen to this record please” things you get) clearly just a normal email written from one person to another. She said she liked one of my recent reviews (wish I could remember which one!) and thought based on what I was reviewing and what I said about it that she that I might like her band’s new record. (I did.)

Even if Picastro hadn’t wound up becoming one of my favourite bands, I think I’d still recall that interaction fondly. Even at my very low level you quickly develop an aversion to people wanting you to check out their music, for a variety of reasons. A lot of the music is bad, for one thing. To have someone making music as good as this read my work and think I’d be into what she’s doing? Even if it was just press flattery (and having known Liz and her work ever since then, I don’t think it was haha), there’s something nice about it, especially when it’s such a nice and personal communication.

That has... not that much to do with their new EP! But sometimes you just want to tell a story. Everything Picastro has put out, and every show I’ve seen, since Whore Luck has been uniformly very strong, and when I first heard they were doing a covers EP it was exciting news. I kind of already knew Liz would pick interesting songs (I was only familiar with “Pale Blue Eyes” beforehand) and that as with her other covers she’d only do them if she could make them her own. I’m not sure how many people out there are familiar with Fire on Fire, The Silt, or Elfin Saddle without already knowing Picastro, but for that sliver of the Venn diagram: what an introduction.

i promise mean this in THE nicest way possible how are you able to like so many different things at the same time i swear you like 400 different things and none of them have any correlation its just a hodgepodge and so much of what you talk about ive either never heard in my life of or have never seen anyone else talk about. like ive had to look up stuff you were talking about before cus i had absolutely no idea what it was LOL ive never met anyone that jumps around w their interests as much as you idk if any of your other friends have expressed that or its just me i just think its funny. the only thing i really associate you w as a part of your "brand" is gurren lagann but even then i dont see you talk abt it that often.

LOL I TAKE IT IN THE NICEST WAY POSSIBLE DW <333 ive been told im just a very sporadic person in general (a friend of a friend within like. 5 minutes of meeting me told me i talk like i have a sniper trained on my forehead which is to this day one of the funniest things anyones ever said to me) so i guess that extends to my interests? i get kind of frustrated honestly with how sharply my brain jumps from place to place because it makes it hard to focus on one thing for too long? and looking back at my post history distresses me because i'll go from talking about the deep religious symbolism in a horror game to "OMG DOES ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN* a minute later 💀 but the fact you talk about it positively actually makes me feel a lot better about it :]

i think its down to the fact i havent hgad like.....a single media focus in a LONG time. like especially in my teens i'd be incredibly hyperfixated on one singular piece of media for YEARS at a time, to the point i couldnt have other interests, and i think out of everything GENSHIN was the last time i had something even close to that feeling but i had to quit for my own mental health lol. so now i'm full magpie mode keeping all my little silly interests in my nest <3

also i stopped talking about gurren lagann as much on my main because i found i was the only person in the character tags i browsed the most 😅 so i now have a dedicated sideblog for all of my media ramblings i don't want to clog my main with (or if its of series my friends don't like)
