#we did this for me sister once

Pink and Keaton may not get along, but at least there is someone on the team Keaton will never bite. If only there wasn't someone who then supplies Keaton with knives and bombs...

(Looking at you, Swift. It's all fun and games until he starts a team-wide brawl, come on now.)

Beast thought his babysitting days were over. Boy was he wrong. And Keaton will never, ever admit to being older than he looks thanks to time travel, because being a kid gets him lamingtons, and by Hylia, he will not give those up for anything.

Except maybe pissing off Pink, because he deserves it.

The Time Out Barrel was a trial to figure out, mostly because all other forms of Time Out don't seem to keep him contained, or still, and was almost given up on when Sandy got a needle to the bum for sitting on top of it, when trying to keep Keaton from absconding with said barrel. It is now picked up and carried around by Beast with the lid off - just to make sure Keaton is, in fact, still in his time out barrel.

(Theoretically, he could leave any time he wants, but being hoisted around in a barrel is somehow less uncomfortable than letting people physically hold him. Keaton doesn't know what the deal is either. He even actually likes Beast's hugs; he just doesn't like when people pick him up in most ways. It's weird, but the Barrel Method is their last hope, so here goes nothing.)

that she adores someone that much / if she will reject his dark nature and act of love and violence as Ursula did / if he truly is not part of her desires / that she easily forgets him

Last post got me thinking. Way in the future, when the twins have fixed their relationship and accepted Riv as their half-sib and everyone’s healed and happy…

Arti and Riv would ABSOLUTELY put makeup on Hunter against his will lmfao

y’all i cannot stop fucking thinking about it. will with his big blue eyes, youngest of them all, completely musically untalented and rhythmically challenged but by the gods does he understand the human body. following lee around holding his quiver and rattling off whatever he just learned from watching michael in the infirmary. doted on by his big siblings. talking for hours about a galaxy far far away with heroes who choose to save the world, aren’t forced to, hey, they’re heroes, just like you, lee! and his siblings have dreams, they know the prophecies, they look at their little brother and they know he will be alone. they don’t know why or how yet but they can feel in their very soul that he will be out in the stupid world with all its hatred and violence and he will have to defend himself. and he can’t shoot straight and he cries when he hurts someone in training, and all he wants to do is help, and he doesn’t understand that people can be cruel and they will take his kindness and bleed him dry. and a war is coming. they can feel it. do you think they would be desperate? for themselves as much as will? i don’t know how long i will live. i don’t know how long i have left. but you will be there, son of phoebus. i know you will. remember me, okay? remember how i loved you. remember how we loved each other, remember how we healed and fought and cared. please. please, will, remember us. and remember how we loved you.

ok seriously though whoever the hell that anon is like seriously stop. i did not think? i had to say this?? but maybe don’t bring up my sexual trauma in my inbox and use that to psychoanalyze me??? because of the genre i write???? i promise you the skeleton does not care. i promise you this so hard. nobody is being traumatized or offended by this. especially not the character. i promise you cross is not offended or hurt or upset and neither is jakei. i am writing horror because it is a genre i enjoy. you have no need to pry into my personal life to ‘figure me out’ and convince me to stop writing in a very popular genre because it is weird to you or makes you uncomfortable. what makes me uncomfortable is when you try to insert yourself and act holier than thou. you are not better than me because you view the very popular genre i like as morally wrong you’re just a dick

thinking out loud. idk if this was ever confirmed in canon or not. but does liu xiao know about li tianxi's (now qiao ling's) ability?

I assume he knows about li tianchen's possession ability. but how much did li tianchen tell him? would he have told liu xiao everything, or would he hide li tianxi's involvement?

like, let's do a quick check. who actually knows about li tianxi's ability before S2? qian jin and li tianchen both knew about it. did liu min know? I don't think li tianxi joined any of the meetings with liu min iirc, so maybe li tianchen never told liu min (and why would he, anyway? all liu min needed was someone to do the work for him, and for all he knows, li tianchen is enough to do it). so maybe liu min doesn't know.

more importantly, does liu xiao know? would li tianchen tell him, pre or post S2? or is this something liu xiao just kinda figures out on his own?

'cause I'm thinking about if he knew li tianxi's ability... would yingdu even happen? li tianxi's ability is probably the most useful to liu xiao while he's in his "getting the necessary items" phase right? (his goal each season was to possess a key item like liu min's phone and cheng weimin's notebook). guess it depends on how easy it would be to get a good photograph though. 'cause for yingdu, for example, it's either they bait cheng xiaoshi to bridon, or they find a photograph and then get li tianxi to use her ability to search wang qing's memories so they can figure out where the notebook is. I guess that still requires them learning about who survived the fire (learning about wang qing), which is the info that cheng xiaoshi unknowingly uncovered for them.

of course the simplest answer would be that, "not using li tianxi makes for a more interesting story" which is real and valid.

but if we're just looking at the story from a watsonian perspective, I feel like a lot of liu xiao's plots would just be less messy if he had roped li tianxi into his plans (which involves a lot of information gathering). so since he never uses li tianxi, I'm assuming he doesn't know about her ability. which has interesting implications imo. because if liu xiao knew about li tianxi's ability, would he have let such a valuable chess piece die in the first place? (perhaps not "let die" but more of... "ensured her safety" -- which is also a viable method for gaining li tianchen's trust). but he must not have known, because if he did, then is li tianxi's death (and the perceived loss of her ability) a valuable enough trade in his eyes to ensure li tianchen's descent in darkness ("those lost in the darkness are my friends") and subsequent loyalty to liu xiao?

moreover, if liu xiao never knew, what does that say about li tianchen? like I think li tianchen would have told liu xiao about his possession ability. but although he clearly idolizes liu xiao, perhaps he still prioritized li tianxi's safety over him. because it would still be safer for li tianxi if nobody knew what she could do. but at the same time, do you think li tianchen would have trusted liu xiao that he'd tell him?

like I guess I'm just wondering what liu xiao ever thought of or knew about li tianxi, since he seems to have always targeted li tianchen, but li tianchen is way more "useful" when he can link his ability with his sister, you know?

this sucks. this all fucking sucks. i wish my dad cared about me like he thinks he does, or like he wants me to think he does, or like he pretends he does. when it's not inconvenient, when he isn't forced to remember i'm trans/mentally ill/disabled/unemployed/unemployable/a Failed Citizen.

i wish anybody was treating it like a big deal that i traveled halfway across the country to spend time with them. it felt like a big deal to me.

im so glad empanada, even after a tough day, got to have that talk and hug with richas and then bagi where em got some lovely advice about dealing with grief from richas & talked about what went wrong during the day

but i can't help but contrast this with sunny. sunny who empanada still hasn't seen. sunny whose been alone for days. sunny whose talked with almost no one. sunny who doesn't know bad is dead. sunny whose pretending tubbo isn't dead. sunny who got no goodbye. sunny who got no long talks about grief. sunny who got no explanations. sunny who no one visited today. sunny whose birthday is tomorrow. sunny who no one will wake up for first tomorrow

[xxplastic-cubexx]

am i tripping or is x3 relatively way better than dark phoenix like,,, obviously the second half of x3's plot is atrociously wrong (apart from when erik keeps bringing up charles) but the initial set up and premise feel less flat than dark phoenix with more things going on than just jean/phoenix and erik and the brotherhood don't feel as shoehorned?

i fear i feel you ..... however ive always held the belief X3 wasnt a terrible movie on the sole basis hank was there and the movie started with old man bickering while adopting their daughter so this aint a shocking opinion to meee

'but snap hank was in dark phoenix too' ok he didnt piss me off in X3 !!!!! moving on !!!!!!!!

Mom come pick me up the voices are loud again (the image of the poster children of Creepypasta in. Slender's Mansion again. All as one big fuck ass family. Fucked up one with issues abroad. But also one of mutual understanding and what if I want them to heal and grow as people. Forever changed by the events or even what they are fundamentally but still being able to live in this world as who they are now with a support group of beings similar yet so distant from themselves. They can never go back or completely change who they are without damaging themselves or there's nothing else to go back to anymore, so all they can do is move forward. And kill people, that's always a bonus)
