#time to overshare probably

[markanddebbie-protectionprogram]

Debbie might have cried over Nolan in the season 1 finale. But the way they made her lose it is such an important thing for the writers to show. She's sad, she's devastated, and she's also angry.

This is a woman has repressed such immense sadness and anger. She held herself together and yet the moment she broke, her son immediately witnessed her breakdown.

The way she immediately turned away from Mark when it sunk to her that he's really there. In the flesh. It breaks my heart, because she doesn't want him to see her that way.

She didn't even want him to be near her at first. She could barely speak at all that she had to hold her hand out to stop him. And even though she did that, she let her other hand stay on her face to keep the tears covered from him.

And Mark sees her. He's sad too. And he knows that his mom is tired as well. He knows she needs him.

I love how much he loves his mom and that he knows her enough to understand what she needs.

He didn't stay standing up then put a comforting hand on her shoulder. He kneeled at her side and waited for her.

Debbie didn't need space.

Debbie didn't need words of reassurance.

She just needed someone to be with her, to be held and given a space where she can just be.

I have a genuine question being Aroace but I'm afraid to ask and my headcanon will go to waste.

But KMKY's Ford always seemed to be at least in some way the aroace look (being demi or gray that is), did you do it out of want, in the idea of looking, or is it just part of the character and you never thought of yourself in a sexuality for him?

I can definitely see Ford being ace!

I myself am demisexual so I definitely think some of that perspective leeched into how I write Ford. Because my own experience informed how I wrote him, little things like being kind of oblivious/frustrated when strangers flirt with him (the hand witch or the girl from college who worked in the aquarium with the legwarmers lmao) because they don't know him!!! So how dare they!!! Lmao, falling for Bill's mind first since it didn't really matter that he was a shape or a muse or whatever, the rest would work itself out, feeling seen and only crushing initially because it seemed like his mind was being appreciated first and foremost, and treating their sex life like an experiment/engaging with the kinks/power plays inherent rather than just going through the motions (because kink makes more sense sometimes than just some undefined biological urge that you're supposed to have but no one can explain it to you, yet it's perfectly understandable to go 'oh they like feeling powerless as a powerful being I understand that perfectly, now how can I get creative with it'.)

I definitely think he wanted romantic attention from Bill, and wanted to be valued romantically (hence going on a date with Susan and Cathy Crenshaw) but the idea of getting romantic attention from a stranger is unappealing (hence why he was so reluctant to go on the date with Susan) and wanted the sort of holistic acceptance that comes with ideas of romance (because then his polydactylism will be accepted along with his unique mind) but the traditional trappings of romantic relationships aren't that appealing (was worried that he would have to engage in gay culture/grow a moustache and have a makeover to be in this relationship ECT). Bill was great for him BC he accepted and actively sought out all of Ford's weirdness and the dark bits you're ashamed to show, and then got freaky with them lmao. And there's no way to cement a bond quicker than to show someone your most vulnerable parts and have them accept those things unconditionally. Turning shame into dependence right there. That truly is the no one knows you like I do trap, and that shit feels inescapable.

Because of my own experience I know that you can be demisexual and still have a preference for gender or looks, hence why he built the "flattering vessel" for Bill to not only be flattering by beauty standards in general but also subconsciously to be exactly what Ford found attractive. The kicker is that personality means more than good looks, so when Bill inhabited the body in a different way than Stanford expected but he still found his personality all the more fascinating because of it, that was probably what cinched his feelings BC he got to know more about Bill's weirdness and see how it matched his own.

I am giving you a big virtual hug anon BC no head canon is ever wasted, how you engage with a story you like is important and you deserve to feel seen and heard when you engage in content you like. If I can go some way towards making the fandom of this fic a safe welcoming place it's my privilege to do so as a writer!

sometimes i think about the cultural obsession with true crime, reflect on all the podcasts i used to listen to, and imagine what it would be like if that existed in the world of mha  

like somebody is definitely out there researching and trying to uncover the mystery behind the first son of endeavor. and maybe that somebody is you. 

maybe you’re desperate to be taken seriously as a journalist so you start digging into what most people consider a conspiracy theory. but you’re not so sure. you find an incident report about a group of hikers finding a charred bone fragment when they wandered off a sekoto peak trail. 

so you do what any Normal Person would do and start documenting your findings via podcast, and develop a very small but supportive following. 

one night, you get a knock on your door. you’re half-expecting endeavor or a representative, here with threats or hush money. maybe both.  you’re Not expecting todoroki touya himself, very much alive and leaning deceptively casually against the doorjamb. he might’ve been little flattered to know somebody gives a shit, if you weren’t, you know, on the cusp of ruining his entire revenge plot.

*puts my head in your inbox*

HI!!!

you’re such a genuine and kind presence in this fandom. ty for sharing all your work and positive energy!!!

Thanks Char! I love you! 😘🥹

I really needed this today. Lately I have been feeling disconnected because everyone has been able to delve into each others lore and characters yet I haven’t been able to because I haven’t had the time to read them. So I’ve felt left out of conversations and context.

I’m already seen as being on my phone too much just texting and reblogging so it’s hard to get the time to read the fics when I’m being yelled at by family for being rude or smth.

I’m glad people still appreciate me even when I’ve had nothing to contribute to conversations or others work and haven’t been writing much myself or posting my own content.

I love all your stuff so much, you’re amazing people and I apologize if I haven’t been there as much. It could be my fault.

soo you know that one friend from school with whom you had a weird homoerotic bff dynamic with? who you weren't the closest with but were in the same friendgroup so you ended up hanging out and got to know way too much about each other?

well so we've been in different countries the last couple of years and we've sort of lost touch a bit (if you ignore the spontaneous almost-therapy-sessions which happens every 8 months or so, but this is just to say it's still a weird dynamic). so we are in the same location for a couple of days and she messaged me to meet up and then ignored me when I said I'm free today?? like i both dread meeting her and also really miss hanging out.

the thing is we have also not really ever hung out alone (maybe once or twice and it was super awkward). and our mutual friends are being dicks cause it's the holiday season and they 'have stuff planned' and there was always this awkward tension between us so idk where i stanf

My mother is dropping hints that she wants to move in with me after she retires in a few years which is extra fucking crazy because I live in a one bedroom apartment with my spouse and am nowhere near in a financial position to purchase a house so what does she think is going to happen? Someone sleeps in the fucking living room? I pull the money for a house or a bigger apartment out of my ass?

Also I'm not her best option by a long shot? Her house is nearly paid off and worth bare minimum twice what she paid for it so she could definitely take that money buy something outright if she wanted so idk why she's looking at me (okay well I do know, it's because she's weirdly dependent on me and expects me to manage her life for some fucking reason)

[karamazovposting]

I hate when karamazovian things happen in my family because I can't post about it

[catkin-morgs-kookaburralover]

there is something deeply wrong with me

[carpisuns]

sometimes I kinda wish tumblr had something akin to a twitter circle or Instagram close friends list. bc sometimes I kinda wanna say something but not necessarily to Everyone. i feel like tags are almost equivalent bc they’re like the Secret Whisper-Rant Place except anyone can see them. Which adds some fun flavor I suppose. Tumblr close friends circle except it’s whichever of ur followers cares to read your tinytext ramblings

[spaciebabie]

Do you also ever get sad that some of the people you follow haven't updated in a while and like send in a random ask just to make sure they're alive like I think this is called Common courtesy or just something I do but also I'm whining at some people's door like pookie come back :((

all the time brotha.....all the time......

My therapist: Okay don't freak out but you ....know if you want to know the long term physiological affects of being tortured you have to go to a doctor right?

Me: yes but consider I'm never going to do that so what's your best guest

My therapist: you mean besides the insane amount of trauma ?
