Y´know-

I´ve been thinking today.

MC´s got these dope nicknames for the sisters, right?

At some point, she´s probs gonna let one of them slip, totally lost in thought and just going with how she´s been calling them in her head. It´s an automatic response.

...

Cue three very confused sisters.

Naturally, it sparks a(n awkward) convo where MC reveals that, yeah-

MC: *points to Tanya*

MC: "She-Devil."

Tanya, smug af: 😈(❤️‍🔥)

MC: *points to Irina*

MC: "Dreadful Red"

Irina, sorry af: 😖 (she´s at a stage where she actually likes MC and feels horrible for scaring the crap out of her when they´d only just met...and all the weeks/months that followed)

...

Kate: 🤨 "...What about me??"

Tanya & Irina, curious as well: 👀

MC: "..."

Kate: 😏 "I bet it´s something spicy, huh?"

MC: "..."

Kate: 💪😌 "Or maybe something that captures all that muscle?"

MC: "..."

Kate: 😁"No wait! Maybe something with fangs?? Something dangerous, y´know?"

MC: "..."

Kate, getting impatient: "...Well??"

Tanya & Irina: 👀

MC: *coughs to buy herself some time cause fck that´s gonna be awkward as hell*

Tanya & Irina & Kate: 👀

MC: "...Furred Boots."

Tanya & Irina & Kate: "..."

MC: "..."

Kate: "...You´re shitting me, right?"

MC: "..."

Kate: *throws her sisters a disbelieving look*

Tanya & Irina:

KATE MY POOR BABY AM SORRY (am not). 😭

ally playing Russell as a cishet man is truly the most shocking thing they could have done with his character

edit: I take it back i rewatched it and AP and I think what Brennan meant was Matilda looked like a female version of noah who Russell is in love with

absolutely don’t imagine one of the boys taking their chain harnesses off, placing it on you and using it to pull you in for a kiss 😵‍💫

It’s actually really good that I’m not good at taking pictures of myself/I don’t show up well in pictures bc if I did that would genuinely be all I’d post

One thing about Dresden is that pedestrians will stop at a red light. In Leipzig you se a red light and you go 'fuck if I care, there's no cars coming' and cross the road. I have seen large groups of people crossing at a red light at the main train station. But not in Dresden. Here they all wait nicely.

Every time a new Bloodborne comic comes out and the Nameless Hunter is nowhere to be seen, I am not at all surprised but eternally disappointed.

I know everything's about to go horribly wrong - again - but I have to ask. After all their conversations in the dark, did the Darkling ever plan to let Kaz sleep in a different bed again, even after they got back? Or has he filed it under 'this is an intimacy I really like therefore will continue having regardless what Kaz wants' like on one hand I suspect the Darkling will value his own bedroom/comfort/privacy more, on the other I think there's a part of his brain that reallllllyyyy likes having him this close and intimate - like a real couple almost! - and thinks he can just keep that forever regardless of the whole enslavement-plan thing. Oops Kaz you don't get your own room ever again sorry. At least I got you some nice sea whip bracelets to make up for it?

Complicated question with a complicated answer, as most are with these two. The short answer is "the Darkling will never force Kaz into intimacy against his will because it is something he needs organically" but the long answer is....

....? yes ??? god, he's such a fucking trainwreck of a lover coasting by on "well TECHNICALLY" to continue being correct in his own mind no matter the circumstances.

Honestly, even in their current arrangements if Kaz one day was like "I don't want this anymore, I want to sleep in a bunk in a room with everyone else" or "i would rather sleep alone by myself on a life raft in the ocean" the Darkling would say "okay" and grumpily respect that. He's not forcing Kaz into their current arrangements, even if Kaz feels like he doesn't really have a choice.

The Darkling will continue making Kaz feel as though he doesn't have a choice with the knowledge that he's not doing anything wrong because Kaz does have a choice, the alternatives are just kind of worse or inconvenient or would make him look bad.

I feel like at this point it's not too much of a secret to say that things will not continue along their current trajectory because they just simply can't, no one would survive it and it would be a stagnant painful story to keep reading. but let's assume for a minute the status quo does not change in the next few chapters, Kaz has the sea whip, they go back to Os Alta.

The Darkling would work under the assumption that of course they would still be sharing a room, all of Kaz's things would be moved to the Darkling's wing of the little palace and they would continue on as though they were still a power couple in an established relationship. It would be up to Kaz to advocate for himself and say no, actually, I want to go back to my separate room.

Kaz would do that, because he's struggling but he's not struggling that hard. The Darkling will be very grumpy about it, but there's not a world where he doesn't let Kaz make that choice. He's also like...stupidly confident that Kaz will seek him out eventually and them regaining that level of intimacy is an inevitability.

Kaz, spending every single night alone unable to sleep with his own thoughts, might find that he misses having the Darkling as a conversation buddy more than he wants to admit. He might find himself wandering there more often than not. The Darkling might be willing to offer help to aid Kaz with his insomnia, but obviously that would be easier were they still sharing a room, would it not?

Kaz's will might hold out, it might not, he might say 'I'm just going this one time' so many times he doesn't realize they're unofficially sharing a room again anyway, or he might continue being uncomfortable and bored and sleepless just to continue being able to say he's made his own choice.

They have forever to figure out the ideal sleeping arrangements, after all.

(of course OUTSIDE of the current trajectory, things are different altogether. the darkling would probably say it all depends on kaz, and what he chooses and doesn't choose to do, and how much he can be trusted. is it smart for kaz to be left alone? is it safe? is he a danger to himself or others? obviously he can make his own decisions and he doesn't have to share a bed with me if he doesn't want to, but he can't be left unguarded otherwise and maybe a prison cell would be a better alternative? anyway kaz it's up to you, the way in which you want to live with the consequences of your own actions)

I know we all make mistakes, but there's actually a large difference between snapping at your loved ones when you're having a bad day and saying the most abusive, fucked up, gaslighting shit to your kids and then forget about it like it's a normal saturday night, and i honestly don't think it's a mistake that a person can "casually" make?

you can't pretend all faults are on the same level in terms of its difficulty to commit and its severity, as if you can tell a dictator "it's okay we all make mistakes :) it's very easy to call for the death of a million people and actually going through with it!" like yes, we can all try to be a better person and everyone deserves a chance to redemption, but acting like all wrongdoings are of the same level and telling people who were abused by their parents that they will make the same mistake as their parents?? it happens on some abused people, yes, but this take seriously lacks nuance and compassion like a piece of white bread lacks spice

parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day

K is T's mentor and to be a mentor here is to be a parent but K has barely left it's own mentor and K is seen as a promising candidate for future elder but T is seen as a promising candidate for being killed for lack of use and they live in a cult that puts productivity above all else and to teach is inherently to be less productive and K is expected to prove itself now and the world tries to wipe out their entire society and there is no freedom no escape no safety because there is no forgiveness and K will hold T as it cries and K will teach T as its own mentor did and K does not know what the word mother means and T has known it is doomed to fail since the beginning but never told K and K is doing everything they can to make things better but there is no better and T is falling falling falling as K holds on with all its might but neither is mighty and either K saves T and they die together, mentor holding student and student holding mentor in a sick, twisted, mimicry of the way a parent would hold their child at graduation, but neither of them knows those words. Or K watches as T dies, and is forever changed knowing there is nothing beyond the depths its student and sibling and child and more got buried in, because there is no world in which they can find mercy anywhere but in each other's arms.

In short, I am succeeding in creating a relationship that cannot be described in less words than the story itself. Because you it doesn't matter if you read that, since you missed so much more.

To me, honestly, the biggest thing Tumblr has going for itself is the fact that no one uses it.

Originally I was thinking, in terms of "why do I use Tumblr and not other sites?" that the thing going for it is that it's a Post Anonymous Bullshit site. And this is true, and important, but also Tumblr isn't the only Post Anonymous Bullshit site.

I think the key power that Tumblr holds over me is that it's the Post Anonymous Bullshit site that no one uses.

And the reason that's so clutch is because of how much safety it adds. No matter what kind of office or acquaintance small-talk spirals into the direction of social media, which, perhaps in an unthinking moment, causes you to mention you use Tumblr. Even if your conversation partner acts interested in this detail, they won't follow you. Twitter? Tiktok? Fuck man, the person could whip out their phone on the spot and look you up. Tumblr? No way in hell. They'd have to download an app. Make an account. Check it regularly? Just to see you posting "happy fuck him flat friday"? No.

And on the absolute off chance this person does have a Tumblr, and does follow you, well they probably have all the same problems you do that's led them to be active on this site in 2023 so you should be pretty safe in a very girl what are YOU doing at the devil's sacrament kind of way.
