#weve got all the time in the world to get it right

[dragons-and-yellow-roses]

Had an ADHD assessment a few years ago and the fuckwit that assessed me said, as a direct quote, "You're too smart to have ADHD." Like that's not any type of paraphrasing, that stupid fucking statement is burned in my brain forever and has been since I heard it.

I talked to my psychiatrist about getting a referral to a different psychologist for assessment, and she agreed and sent it in.

Today I got a call that said they don't agree that I need reassessment, and I'm welcome to pursue it elsewhere, but they won't provide reassessment. Which is just.

I don't even know where to start with that one. I just needed to get it out. I'm so tired.

A dating Jeremiah fic?

loving you is so easy | j.fisher x reader

a/n: thank you so much for the request!! i hope my writing meets the expectations for what’ll be like to date jeremiah!

warnings: mentions of alcohol consumption

—

dating jeremiah is like waking up and feeling fully rested after weeks of exhaustion. he’s fun and dating him is a constant adventure. there’s never a dull moment between us two. we’re always up to something whether it be driving in the middle of the night with all windows down or it’ll be us snuggling on the couch and giggling with one another.

i lay on my stomach on the smooth surfboard as i feel the waves beneath me sway the board. the salty water from my hair was dripping down my face and the sun was hot on my back.

“are you sure this is a good idea?” i ask jeremiah nervously as he climbs onto the board with me. we both carefully adjust ourselves so we’re both seated,

he shrugs, “probably not but do you trust me? i think it’ll be fun”

“if you say so!” i laugh, he tells me to start paddling and swim we’re both standing on the surfboard together.

it’s extremely unsteady as we both wobble, attempting to keep our balance. but within seconds, we’re both in the ocean. i swim to the surface and burst into a fit of laughter,

“that had to be one of the dumbest things weve done” i tell him as he swims the surfboard towards me, “i can’t believe we were even able to stand on it.”

“makes for a good story though!” he grins before kissing my lips.

dating jeremiah shows me a new sort of love that i never knew existed. after a failed situationship after another, i remember there being a point in my life where i felt like i was unlovable. until i met the curly headed boy. he is loud and proud about us dating, making sure that the whole world knows that we’re together — he never hides it and it’s refreshing.

big, big house parties were never my thing. i was always more of a chill at home with a few friends kind of person rather than going to a huge party. i’m not really sure why but something about being in a small house packed of sweaty and drunk teenagers doesn’t seem very fun to me.

my boyfriend, jeremiah, on the other hand absolutely loves them. he has always been a social butterfly and he loves any opportunity to hang out with new people.

i never really care whenever he goes to parties without me, i trust him. he never pushes me to go to these events either because he knows that i’m not comfortable in these settings. some how today, he convinced me to go.

“come on, baby,” he pleas, “it’ll be fun!”

i shrug, folding up my throw blanket on my half made bed, “i don’t know, jere. you know i’m not big on parties.”

he flops onto my bed and looks up at me with big puppy eyes, “i know babe, but everyone’s been asking to meet you since i talk about you at parties all the time!” he exclaims,

“plus, if you ever feel uncomfortable we can leave right away, no questions asked” jeremiah smiles.

i sigh before nodding my head, “ok fine, only this once though”

he scrambled up and pulls me into a tight hug, spinning us in circles, “god, i love you so much!”

as i got ready for the party, contemplating between a pink or yellow tank top (eventually picking the pink one), i met jeremiah downstairs who was talking to my family.

“you look absolutely gorgeous” he grins, twirling me to get a 360 view, “a goddess.”

my parents awe at the sight before bidding the two of us goodbye as we leave for the party. when we pull up, there’s loud music and talking amongst the tipsy teenagers. jeremiah protectively wraps an arm around my waist as he guides us through the crowd and towards the drinks.

he says hi to a bunch of people we pass by, “oh hey man, this is my girlfriend, y/n” he would proudly say, kissing the top of my head, “isn’t she just the prettiest?”

he opens a drink for me and hands it over before jumping onto the kitchen counter,

“cheers everyone! this one is for my beautiful girlfriend, thank you for coming out tonight, baby! i love you endlessly — have a great night people!” he shouts before hopping off, my face was flushing a bright red before his hands are on my waist.

jeremiah grins at me and pulls me into a passionate kiss in front of everyone. his boys are cheering for us along with some of the girls.

dating jeremiah revealed to me that not all dream-like boyfriends exist only in fiction, but also in real life. he never forgets to message me goodnight, to kiss me goodbye, makes sure that neither of us go to bed upset with the other. jeremiah brings me small gifts that reminded him of me when they’re unexpected. loving him is one of the easiest things i’ve ever done. jeremiah showed me a new sort of love that i never knew existed. he truly is the perfect boyfriend to me and never makes me feel alone. he’s my biggest supporter and is honestly my comfort person.

How possessive or protective do each of the captain/first mates get? (Protective in a sense like…getting hurt, or if someone insulted their partner?)

they are all so crazy

captains all go apeshit if their first mate got hurt...weve seen it happen - its a grenade pin being pulled out. its cute that captains reaction is "how dare someone hurt whats important to ME, thats MINE" hurting their first mate is a wound and an insult. of course they worry and fm's life and safety is priority - but as figures of power and absolute authority within their world (their crew) their reaction is very far from normal, you know. i love each captain's ego and how it paints their reactions. first mates are so much an extension of themselves it really is as painful as getting your right hand (no pun intended) be cut off - but worse

i wont talk abt each individually because they are all the same in intensity. and fervor with which first mates protect their captains matches them just right.

yes of course there is difference with lawbepo where law is so possessive and protective he would keep bepo in his room without him seeing the outside world like the true one person harem (my insane vision) law is more controlling and bepo is happy with lack of agency to a disturbing degree but thats between them

insults are slightly different and can get more specific

with kidkiller being made fun of is written into their canon backstory (w killers laugh) so they are very very sensitive and easy to set off...plus they got that brawler personalities (zoro has that too) where they barely need a reason to fight - heads are gonna fly no matter what

law has so much unyeilding power over bepo that if strangers stare at bepo or say shit - he gives him his word and bepo turns all of his attention back to the captain instead of being upset...the only person whose opinion matters is right there.. (other crew members are gonna be waved off to pummel whoever was talking shit)

luzo are slightly more complex and not made up (like lawbepo here is completely smth im dreaming up) being protags and all...i love that they can laugh off a lot/idiots are not worth their time - but if its something specific they react Very strongly - and ofc they know each other so well - they know what specific thing matters to the other so if someone insults that the protectiveness kicks in so hard...

its adorable they are all adorable

scream - 1996

"it's the millennium. motives are incidental."

i fucking love this movie

and this is my favourite quote from it. its just so cool. thats a quote that really gets the 2000s. captured a whole era. i use it in daily life despite it not being the millennium. such an immortal line

and to me its at the essence of what is so great about this film cause i honestly think this film is celebrating that, and is glad that weve stopped thinking in terms of motives. loved seeing that perspective

cause scream is a film about tropes. tired, familiar, endlessly replayed, habitual tropes, that become more and more shorthand over time, until they become TOO shorthand, and the comedy we get from that in this film is always so fucking funny

but important as well, i think, because in this world thats built out of habitual, shorthand tropes, things happen just because theyre supposed to happen (because its the trope) rather than for a sensible reason. tropes and opportunities (for the trope/joke/punchline) have replaced motives. this movie is the motiveless killer

the whodunnit structure, trying to guess the ending out of "clues" (another kind of shorthand) is an impediment to what we should really focus on, survival, as seen when everyone is comically accusing each other (think its ghostface who says "got the ending figured out yet, sid?")

i think the title of the film gets at this too. its just "scream" - a one word reaction divorced from its context or cause, and also kind of a command. like. this is a horror movie. go scream. this is the part where you scream. do that cause thats just what youre meant to do here

and i think this perspective is what allows the film to give us such a damn empowered final girl. cause sid is such a total badass right?? god i love the end of this movie so much its so cool. and she gets the treatment she gets because post-motive means post-victim blaming. not asking "what are the shorthand clues in your narrative that prompted your death? WHY did this happen?" rather, just saying, this happened, this is happening, we need to focus all our energy on surviving and fucking stopping these dangerous individuals and not caring WHY they did it then move on

HAPPY 8 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SANDERS SIDESS!!

I wish I could do more for this anniversary celebration but I have to go somewhere today and probably won’t have time to draw anything special. However, this is what I have time for since sanders sides was literally one half of my childhood and I recently got back into the hyperfixation of it. I love each of these characters to death and I’ll explain each of them in detail during this post <3

Logan: He is the best “teacher” ever! I wish he got more love from the other Sides, but the fandom definitely makes up for it. He’s a sucker for Crofters, got me into that jame btw, and he helped me learn a lot of new things! During one of my classes a teacher asked if anyone knew what a “Yerkes-Dodson Curve” was and let me tell you how I raised my hand so fast…. LOGAN MY BOI WE ALL LOVE YOU😭😭

Roman: The Man, the Prince, the Legend. He is so flamboyant I love him for that. He is the embodiment of “drama queen” and he definitely deserves that title. I loved this man to D E A T H since day one. I feel like half of me is literally his personality, and since I’m also insecure it checks out pretty well! If I was forced to only draw one Side for the REST of my life, it would be Roman in a heartbeat.

Patton: HES THE BIGGEST PUFFBALL WEVE GOT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AND EVERY CAN AGREE HES AMAZING AND OMFG HES SO ADORABLE AND EVERY BAD THING THAT HAPPENED TO HIM THAT HE COULDNT CONTROL SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED AND I ONLY WISH THE BEST FOR HIM AND HE DESERVES ALL THE COOKIES IN THE WORLD OMGGGGGGGGG- Ahem, aside all that… I do love Patton! He is like the father I wish I could have, and the childhood imaginary friend you had what you were a toddler as well! I love you to bits Patton!

Virgil: He’s a fan favorite, which is understandable. A ton of people deal with anxiety, and a lot of people love the color purple. I.. am in that group but in a slightly insane level- Not the anxiety part that’s being dealt with, but the P U R P L E. He’s my favorite BECAUSE he’s purple. When he was just black I didn’t really like him THAT much, but I saw the appeal. Once he got the purple tho, I LOVED THAT MAN. He really is a big fan favorite and I understand why. Plus he’s a silly little emo gay, who doesn’t like that?

Janus: MY SASSY BOII!!! We love to see him! We all know he loves wine, we all know he definitely needs some validation, and our boy deserves a hug. We love him, and as the saying goes “She is beauty, she is grace, she will lie right to your face.” And he is also the embodiment of…. “Girlboss, gatekeep, gaslight <3” And all of this is the truth, which is definitely gonna mess with him a lil bit :3

Remus: How do you describe your love of a character without it getting to redundant? I love this fucking trashy rat man to death and nothing will change my god damn mind. HES SO SCRUNKLY I LOVE HIM!!! HE IS THE ELBODIMENT OF THE OTHER SIDE OF ME, IM BEING DEADASS RIGHT NOW. I WILL ACTUALLY KEEP RANTING AND RANTING ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GOD FORSAKEN MAN. I WILL FUCKING KILL FOR HIM (if he doesn’t do it first) His outfit, his personality, HIS FUCKING MACE. HE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF CHAOS AND I LIVE FOR IT!!

Thomas: Him. Just, Him. He deserves all the love this world can possibly give him and more. Whenever he posts is always, and I mean ALWAYS during a troubling part of my life. And he can get me through any bad days I may be having. I swear this guy knows when we are sad and posts RIGHT when that happens and it brings a chuckle to us, making the day MUCH BETTER. He is an inspiration, a goal, a dream, a PARENTAL FIGURE to most of the community and I want him to know that.

@thatsthat24 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FOR SANDERS SIDES YOU DESERVE ALL OF THE GIFTS AND LOVE THIS COMMUNITY HAS GIVEN YOU!!!!

[commander-gloryforge]

okay after playing for a healthy and normal 10 hours finishing act one, here are my thoughts.

QQWWWWWWWWWWAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH YYEAAAAAASSASS S WWEWEWEEWWWW AYYYWEEEAEEDEDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSA WOOOOOOOOOOOOIHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

okay . god. okAY. fuck. okay. so. i dont even know where to start im enjoying myself so much here its crazy. like im having such a good time genuinely holy shit.

THE MUSIC. fucuukkkkk god the music. okay it has a lot of that one instrument that i cant name but its a very specific sound that they used a lot in ibs too and i genuinely love that sound. god. FUCK. the music is so good. i think i already have a fave track but im not gonna name it just yet bUT FUCK ITS SO GOOD. i think im gonna have to get that one on vinyl when they release it. GOD.

also voice acting? HELLO???? insane job done by the kodan ESPECIALLY poised arrow, he's AMAZING. and the uh. The Big Bad Guy we fight at the end of chapter 5. uhm. hello. the voice. hello sir. hey. hiiiiii.

the map. ive only seen the first so far but by god this is my favoruite place ever in the world. i really love how peaceful that place is, but how alive it feels. theres events everywhere, the hearts are wonderfully done, it LOOKS just simply beautiful. its so much fun to explore and run around in and just do nothing but sit there and listen to the kodan talk. this is genuinely the best of. all worlds? like its HUGE but never feels empty, its fun to explore but easy to get through, its diverse and beautiful and alive, it feels like a core map but BETTER. the adventures are fun, I GOT TURNED INTO A FISH, the events are lovely, i want to eat this map.

warclaw??? actually feels good to use????? genuinely love how it feels now, actually kind of prefer it over raptor/jackal. i only have the first mastery on it because im focusing on homestead mastery but omg the jumping abilities are so fun and i cant wait to level the mastery more... the skin you get is so cute and i might genuinely use warclaw so much more now. its abilities are actually kinda fun to use too

SPEAR. i didnt get to test spears out a lot but i can confidently say that I LOVE GUARDIAN SPEAR i switched auroras build and now story fights are actually fun. have not tested it with any other class but its GOOD.

characters. i cant say so much about the story itself yet but it does feel so much better than soto just because of the characters alone. instead of being thrown into some brand new mess with a bunch of characters we dont know that quickly become irrelevant, we actually have known faces by our side- like properly. caithe and malice are are GREAT companions for this, i love the tyrian alliance (despite being a jennah hater) because we keep coming back to these characters we've known, it doesnt feel like all the relationships weve made have been cast aside anymore. HELL WE EVEN GET CHARACTERS THAT WERE MISSING SINCE IBS BACK! even if its just for a short time, THEYRE THERE, WE GET TO CHECK IN WITH THEM! THATS GREAT! and even with all the new characters, they dont feel as overwhelming, they just feel.. good? its just good. its just right.

and theres so much more to say but its 5:30am right now and i need to wrap this up.

god. okay its easy to please me. take everything i say with a grain of salt. i am very easily impressed and excited, ESPECIALLY when it comes to gw2, but it really does feel like theyre figuring it out. it feels like anet really did listen to us, and learned from soto, and things are going well. im so happy. i love this so much. AAAAAAAH

being travies pet with william mghhhg…. bills a kitty and i'm a puppy, but we get along really well! i'll help bill clean himself (even if i'm no good at it and he ends up pawing me away so he can fix the mess i've made of his hair) and he'll bat toys around for me to chase, and when we get tired we curl up near each other (he's allowed up on the couch and i'm not, so i'll be on the floor) and it's so lovely!! travies so good to us and he gets me a nice cozy kennel at the end of his bed and bilvy will reach over and annoy me till we fall asleep every night… and he fucks us so good!! if weve been good he lets me fuck bilvy with the strap all fast and rough as a reward.. calls me a good puppy whos gonna breed bill sooo good while bill is moaning and mewling under me.. his collars got a little bell on it that jingles every time i thrust and push him up the bed and it makes my brain so empty and feel so good but i'm just a dumb puppy in rut so its okay! i dont need to think just need to hump hump hump till i feel better!! travies got the leash to my collar wrapped around his hand so he can pull me off if he needs to and its just so perfect <3 bill cums before i'm done, he's all fucked out and spent and cant take any more so travie pulls me back and out of him. i whine and he promises me he'll get to me in just a minute, he just needs to take care of the kitty right now okay? i mindlessly rut against the bed while i wait for him, which im not supposed to do, but when he gets back to me he just sighs and tells me that its okay and he knows im just too stupid to know any better right now. he helps me out of the strap harness and pushes me to my knees by the edge of the bed which is so exciting!! i love getting to suck my owners cock !! he makes me wait for it, just a little, holding me back by my hair, so that when he finally lets me go i reaaallly really want it. i take him so good and he even fucks my throat!! which i love so much.. pulling my leash and making my collar tight around my neck so it feels even better for him. hes so big and he fills my throat up so nicely and its just so perfect. he pulls out before he finishes, making me stick my tongue out and pant and then he cums all over my face. i whine again and he chuckles, says he knows but i've gotta help him clean this up first okay? and so i do! he cleans his mess off his face and feeds it to me with his fingers and i swallow it all cuz he asked me to. he pulls me back up the bed and helps me straddle his thigh before pushing my hips down for me a few times until i get the idea that im meant to ride it, which i do, and when i finally cum i white out and dont come back till hes got me all clean and is moving me up the bed so i can cuddle with him and bill. i get to sleep on the bed cause i was just such a good puppy for him and i drift off between my owner and my best friend in the whole world.. beautiful times. god please make this real polease please please please please please

would say i got a little carried away but when do i not. imagining fucking these band guys/these band guys fucking is the only thing that motivates me in life. amen - sweat anon

[mages-ballad]

some stuff regarding dawntrail now that ive finished and had time to collect my thoughts, spoilers up to the very end inbound of course. sorry if its long i have many MANY a thought.

ok so i wanna preface by saying i DID like dawntrail. i love wuk lamat and i cried like 3 or 4 times, tural is a great location and it was very fun to meet all the different kinds of npcs there

HOWEVER theres some things that kinda feel awkwardly paced? if i can be completely honest, it feels like the first half and the second half of the msq are two entirely different plotlines that were smushed together. and this isnt even saying that everkeep/sphene/s9 are "too different" because its not even an aesthetic issue for me, its moreso the themes presented first half? a little slow but in a GOOD way, helps you get a feel for the land and the people and shows wuk lamat's growth. the succession plotline feels like a whole, coherent thing. i like it. as soon as thats over and you hit shaaloani though, its slow and quite literally filler aside from a few tidbits for erenville. it felt awkward how it was trying to show xak tural culture, but also heavilyyy favored screentime for the "cowboy" stuff over the hhetsarro (who also very much live in shaaloani and are part of tural), who we spent practically 1 quest with and it was to ask them for lumber. and THEN it goes right from that to a high-stakes plot with zoraal ja's attack and heritage found and everything progressing after that. on its own the plot has potential... but by living memory i got the impression that everything from the end of shaaloani and refitting the train to running through the memories of alexandria, it just felt like it was trying to be Shadowbringers 2/Endwalker 2. and it wasnt really working out the same. "a society faced a calamity and a leader figure cant let go of the past and will gladly sacrifice other worlds to keep the memory of their people alive/go back to how things used to be. theres also a city full of people that arent alive and are just memories. also you get to run through a dungeon that shows the destruction of the past world that said leader figure cant let go of." like thats just the ascians and emet and amaurot right there. we KNOW how this stuff goes. from endwalker and venat we learned that its impossible to strive for absolute peace and perfection and that suffering and death are unavoidable, and the importance of maintaining hope and being able to go keep going forward at those lowest points. the whole time between solution 9 and living memory i was just sitting there thinking to myself like??? have we not seen this same stuff before??? why isnt anyone saying anything??? i knowwww this is mainly wuk lamat's story and development but it felt almost wrong to have these plotlines and themes and neither the wol or any of the scions even point out how familiar it is. i was under the impression that dawntrail would be a point for the wol to take a backseat, but to ALSO use what weve learned from 1-90 to help others. i genuinely feel like they pushed the idea that this is a fresh start *too hard* and everything weve gone through as the wol emotionally feels pretty ignored. aside from the whole "oh yeah btw were super strong weve been to the edge of the universe lol dont worry lol" like i hope this doesnt come off as me hating dawntrail. because i dont, and im interested to see the extent of travel between reflections and how thats handled going forward. but i cant help but feel like something was missing in that 2nd half of the msq. i can only hope some of this stuff gets addressed in the patches, because as it stands rn, even with sphene gone solution 9 still feels weird. the theme of dawntrail wants us to respect their culture, but from past xpacs we already know that a society like that is factually not sustainable, especially when multiple npcs have already pointed out its flaws (declining birth rate, for example.) maybe thatll be resolved later, but as it stands rn, the contradictory of themes is confusing. this is getting reallllyyy long and rambling now but WHEW i just needed to get this all off my chest. on a positive note to end this, im very much enjoying the dungeons and combat so thats been good.

tl;dr, 1st half of msq good, 2nd half confusing, combat good.

Johnny x Ponyboy

Tags: fluffy madness, the cutes kids on the planet

notes: before the church burned down, after they got there and were so bored Ponyboy decieds to confess his love!

--------------------------------------------------

Im bored out of my mind and cant stop thinking about yesterday.... I came back from supply running a little later than normal and hed panicked so much he ran to me and hugged me almost crying! I dont know what got into his head but i really worried him, hes not normally touchy like that but hes stuck closer to me since weve been in this church, I kinda love the attention... I always wanted to spend more time with him even though we spend every waking moment together amyways. I wonder if he likes me?- wait what am i even saying i dont like Johnny! but he does have pretty eyes..... oh shit i like johnny.--- i can feel myself blush as my eyes dart to look at him, hes drawing something, i wonder if hed draw me sometime.. snap out of it ponyboy! You like him i get it but theres no way he likes you. What if i ask dally, hes ment to be comin by later im sure hell know what to do.

"I already knew that kid" Ponyboy gasped

"How???? I just found out today!"

"Well you should see yourself around him, and see him around you man that boy i *smitten* for you"

my eyes sparkle "You think?!"

he chuckles "Yes ponyboy! You should tell him get yourself a man"

i blush "Well idonno about thattttt"

"Tell him when your ready, just don't wait to long"

"I will thank you Dally"

I take a deep breath and look around the church, candles line the floor in a circle lighting up the small picnic i set up, johnny is out right now but im sure hell be back soon. I bought his favorite candy and pop. hopefully he likes it...

"Ponyboy im back!" Johnny says his voice echoing the church, i see him pause when he sees me sitting in the circle of candles. I smile and pat the spot in front of me "Comere!" god im so nervous. He walks over slowly eyes never leaving mine as he sits down. "Ponyboy- what is all this"

I take a deep breath before speaking "I have a lot to say so just listen alright?" i wait for him to nod before going on trying to follow the script i set out for myself "So uh... Johnny i really love you, not as a friend" his face turns to shock and i flinch "I want to spend the rest of my life with you however long that is, i want to hold your hand and dance in the rain with you, ive loved you for as long as i can remember and it took us running away to this damn church for me to realize it and for that im sorry. You deserve the world and i know i wont be able to give it to you but i want to try. I want to be yours and i want you to be mine. I bought your favorite candy and pop" i present my gifts to him "What do you think Johnny?" i look up from my hands and see him blushing. "Can i kiss you" he wispers and i stare at him in shock "Huh"

"Can i kiss you" he repeats

i trip over myself but eventually say a coherent yes

He pulls me closer to him and cups my face gently, it feels like fireworks go off when our lips meet, like everything ive ever wanted, needed, or wished for was right here. Nothing else matters except for him. He pulls away and i lean forward subconsciously, he giggles and kisses my forehead hugging me close.

"I love you too if you couldn't tell"

i laugh "Yeah i couldn't tell"

he lays down anf i rest my head on his chest looking up at him "Can we kiss more?" i whisper shyly

he giggles again and says yes

im really going to enjoy the rest of our time here

Run the World!!!- Dayglow (written by max! they all call it their fun song but its definitely still more about her ptsd and depression)

Strange Time- Matt Maltese (steve wrote this soon after eddie died)

Coffee- Chappell Roan (duet between steve and robin about their shared ex, nancy. they all ofc still love her and are very close friends but this was written during a rough patch post ronance breakup)

Brother- Fenne Lily (co-written by max and steve about their relationship)

ceilings- Lizzy McAlpine (steve keeps forgetting that eddie has died)

Francesca- Hozier (stobins soulmate song! written by robin because she knows steve feels guilty about dragging her into the upside down but she doesnt regret it because now she has him)

vague storyline is that steve starts getting into music to cope with all of the upside down shit sometime between end of season 1 and season 2. he starts seeing eddie after season 3 and is head over heels for him before eddie (still) dies at the end of season 4 and is (obviously) heartbroken.

after max heals she starts learning the drums to help process emotions better and also around this time robin and nancy start a budding romance. steve learns about max playing the drums and starts having jam sessions w her and later on robin also joins and its just very cathartic for them all. nancy and robin are kinda on again off again until steve and robin write Coffee together which firmly puts them in the past and they remain good friends after. (i love ronance i swear but for whatever reason in this au i just dont see them lasting longterm) (also i feel bad because the story of Coffee feels like it makes out nancy to be a villain and i love her i swear)

after a few years steve, robin, and max decide to start playing local bars and small shows and eventually are discovered and release their first and only album. the album gets wildly popular and they tour for a bit but none of them really wanted fame and decided that they really just preferred making music in their living rooms. they do pop up shows at small venues every now and again and they still consider themselves A Band.

likely they get rediscovered on tik tok or something and everyone is coming up with theories on the story of the album(stupid shit like ‘he said eddie in acolyte right’ ‘no dude he said annie steve isnt gay god some people’ or some weird love triangle involving steve robin and some mystery person) so they all make a video talking about the history of the band and steve comes out and opens up about how some of the songs are about eddies death (which starts another fire once people find out that steves eddie is eddie munson because obviously everyones heard of the hawkins murders at which point steve releases a video basically telling everyone to not talk about shit they know nothing about and to fuck off and leave him alone and after that the band is never heard from online again) happily ever after the end :) i just needed this out of my brain

aita for savin my girlfriend

not really sure why im askin this, and basically this whole thing is a steamin pile of bollocks. me (144m) and my girlfriend (about 164f) moved into this new town about a year ago, on account of her bein sickly from being attacked and stuff. we did the things necessary to get her better, at least physically. shes always been a bit off her rocker, but shes my girlfriend and obviously that doesnt matter to me. matter of fact its pretty sexy. anyway thats not the point. the point is that this new town is nice and all, theres loads of um the local food supply just out there for the taking, but theres also this one extremely annoyin chick (about 17f but i dont keep track of that shite) whos almost killed us a lot of times. weve survived obviously, but needless to say were both a bit less than pleased with her. this girls boyfriend (about 271m, also he used to be all buddy-buddy with me and my girl before he got good and all that) went a bit wonky recently and has started murderin people the girl loves. now ordinarily id be all for that because i hate this girl, but hes got this idea that he wants to not just kill the girl, but destroy the entire universe. he teamed up with my girlfriend (and yeah im jealous i can admit that like a man) to do it and although i wasnt all that keen on the idea i said nothin (also i was marginally incapacitated at the time and couldnt really stop them).

now, i rather prefer bein alive, or unalive, or what have you. this world is a nice little place in between all the terribleness, you know? so in the end when he was about to do the plan thingy and bring the destroyer of the world, i had to team up with the girl and her sodding friends to stop him. anyway a whole lot of things happened and i ended up knockin my girlfriend unconscious and carryin her out so she couldnt help the guy end the world. then he got stabbed by his girlfriend i guess she killed him or whatever. point is. the world didnt end and me and my girl were together again. except she was so pissed off at me for saving her bloody life that shes gone off and left me. im thinkin about goin back to that town again and gettin revenge on the 17yo girl for causin my breakup, or maybe hangin out with the girls mother. i never really had much of a family, you know. and she (the girls mother) seems all right. not that it matters and of course i dont bloody care. anyway aita for literally stoppin this guy from destroyin my girl (and also i guess the rest of the world which is far less important in my view)

i think a lot of transmascs are simply new to the community. weve all been new at some point. when youre the only trans person you know, of course it feels like youre the only one with problems because youve only ever seen your own problems. when i started transitioning i only knew myself and a few other transmascs who all shared the same problems, and it felt like the end of the world at times. i thought, how could someone be treated worse than this. it was the worst i had ever been treated in my life, and im also autistic and grew up being bullied for that and neglected by my parents. so when i got online and saw all these posts about how transfems had it so much worse than me, i was frustrated and offended. i had never heard of a trans woman having problems. and how could someone be treated worse than i was being treated? but it’s been four years now, and its true. the transfems in my community are suffering so much worse. and there are so many posts about it because of how many people just don’t understand it. people ignore them because they feel offended or like they arent being aeen or like surely is cant be worse than Their problems- and then ignoring it means that people remain unfamiliar with it.

yeah transmascs have problems. ALL trans people have problems. and right now, transfems have it the worst. like, getting murdered for existing when theyre still kids. stop getting mad at people for calling that out, they’re right. dont you think it’s unfair that they have it worse? dont you want to help them? i want to help them. i want to be part of a community that isn’t divided cus “my problems are worse than yours” i want to be part of a community that says “we all have problems and some are worse than others and we’re gonna fix all of it. together.”

so, you may or may not have heard us griping about the u.s education system recently. things have come to a head today

let me give some context

due to the strain that going to school physically day-in day-out puts on us both mentally and physically, we applied for virtual school last semester and got in. all of our classes went just fine except for geometry, which is our worst subject

we applied for a tutor because yknow we need help with math but didn't get one because i guess they just ignored us so what we did was ignore all of our geometry work up until the last two weeks, scramble to fix that, and somehow end up with an 80 on our final exam. all good, right?

nope. we failed the class. which would be FINE, EXCEPT,

because we failed the class we got yoinked right back into regular full time school. which, again, would be FINE (<- lying through his teeth), if we didn't have to do that entire semester's worth of work over again on top of the other four classes we're taking.

which is a totally normal amount of schoolwork to expect a teenager to do. yep. absolutely.

weve been chipping away at that since we only have 3 weeks left in school but today we look at the 30% of the class we've done and we go hey, uh, what happens if i don't get every single one of these assignments done?

our homeroom teacher just kind of looks at us and goes "you get a zero"

"even if i did 80% of it? it wouldn't be for anything?"

"yep"

"WHAT THE FUCK" <- actual words that i shouted. yes this teacher is chill

anyways i am having a completely normal time and i am definitely not texting my mom about this to schedule a time to let us go downtown later and chew out the school board's asses for getting me into this predicament because if they had just GOTTEN ME A FUCKING TUTOR, which is in my IEP (thing that helps me out with school stuff cos of the menthol eels), WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS FUCKING MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

congratulations everybody the u.s education system is the best in the world and has no flaws none at all nope absolutely fucking Zero.

20 Questions for Writers!

Tagged by @arcanemoody Thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

419

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

currently 1,537,289 words

3. What fandoms do you write for?

A lot of DC media (comics, movies, cartoons, games). Occasional Super Mario or Marvel franchises. Used to be a whole lot of Star Trek, which I still love.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

That's Amore (MCU) 1124 kudos Plans and Propositions (MCU) 663 kudos Five Times + 1 (Star Trek TOS) 519 kudos Wait... Was That A Date?! (MCU) 508 kudos Only You (MCU) 449 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes. I always try to respond within a day or two and with as lengthy a reply as the comment.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

From Bad To Worse (Star Trek TOS). I did eventually write a follow up fic to give McCoy some healing but yeah, this fic was left with an angsty ending.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Most of my fics have happy endings but I'm going to pick A Plague On Both Your Houses (Gotham) because its based on a tragedy which makes the ending here all the happier.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, generally not. I have had a troll on ff.net and some people who didn't apparently read my fic before commenting 🙄 but people are generally nice.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. Hard to answer this. I aim for emotional, or sensual usually. Its some part of the relationship whether thats frustrated sex or tender love.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Not often. I did start one last year during riddlebird week, Gay Attorney (Gotham/Ace Attorney), but I lost enthusiasm (unrelated to it being a crossover)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge although who knows with the AI scrapers nowadays.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Several of my spones drabbles got translated into Spanish here and Olduvai (Star Trek AOS) got translated into Russian here.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes. I used to work closely with StellarLibraryLady and we co-wrote a series of Star Trek fics and drabbles called Plant Life. I have assisted and been assisted with various other fics such as The Dating Game (Batman media) with LordRobotnik and Far From Over (Batman movies 89-97) with TheDreammweaver.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Riddlebird holds the number one spot for having so many variations I can play with. Spones and hattercrow are also favourites.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you will?

Probably one called Gotham Gossip which has been in my notes folder for years. I have the template all done but can't muster any interest in writing it. The Gotham version of riddlebird is not my preferred fandom.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'd say characterisation and plots with heart. My stories revolve around the relationships so I focus on that.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

World building and visual descriptions. The first isn't needed in fanfic and I don't have the required visualisation for the second.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Nothing wrong with this as long as care is taken to try and get it right. Translations should be provided either as a footnote or with proper hover features enabled.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Knightmare, a British kids TV show from the 80s - 90s. I typed this on an old style word processor and still have it saved to floppy disc.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Tough question. Right now I'm going to pick Do You Mind? (Batman the animated series). I enjoyed weving the story with canon events and know it worked well.

Tagging, if they want, @thedreammweaver , @ramenflavoredchaos , @nerdcore-gf , and @gottaread2

[phozphor]

Okay, whilst I'm getting back into recording audio for the side order video I'm working on, I need. NEED TO INFO DUMP ABOUT THE CODE WEVE BEEN FINDING IN THE UPDATES.

If you don't Wana be spoiled on even minor mechanics, I gotcha, so their be spoilers and dragons beyond this read more.

OKAY. BEFORE WE START LETS CLEAR SOME STUFF UP.

Side order's campaign is nick named 2 things in the files. "Sdordr" and "tower".

NOW LETS START WITH THIS BLOCK

This isn't anything special. My guess from the file naming "talkstagerandom" and "worldrandom" this is probably copy paste of Maria's code from splatoon 2 and how you could talk to her on different valleys and she would say random things. Nothing shocking, just that we know theirs gunna be a hub world.

These strings really don't have anything interesting. Mainly test scenes and unreadable strings.

Yet again, nothing interesting BUT WE GOT ENEMY STRINGS!!!!! CANON SIDE ORDER HAS ENEMIES!!!

On a real note maybe "shell" is a way of deflecting ink? Like those enemies from mega man.

Okay HERES the meat.

"Person_sdodr" refers to the credit scene, so it's come for enough into development to have its credits developed. But what's these strings about a ball? And a goal? Wait.

No.

NO.

YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!

8 BALL STAGES ARE RETURNING.

On returning mechanics, snake block prolly refers to the same snake blocks found in splatoon 3's single player, it's nice to see them come back.

Grind and ink rails need to intro, and paint target area defenetly refers to ink buttons, so they're gonna return too.

"Explode spawner" probably refers to the inkable balloons, so yet again not a big surprise.

Victory life is DEFENTLY GUNNA BE THAT FUCKING ELEVATOR FROM OCTO EXPANTION. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY FISH BONES.

"Concrete spawner" interests me though. Maybe they spawn concrete blocks that we can ink? Can we ride them like boats? Anyway, let's get onto the enemies.

Ballking could be this Fucker from splatoon 1.

It's ball shaped. Yeah. But there's also another king that's ball shaped. That I'm worried may show up. For. A. 4th. Fucking. Time.

Please. Let it be the octowhirl.

Towerking interests me though. Some people think that it's going to be the final boss, but I don't think so.

The nils statue was never called by any boss names in its files, but was still the final boss. Hm.

Speculation:

1. This handles ALL tower bosses. Like a default string telling the game its boss time.

Or

2. With how we have code implying different worlds, maybe the towerking appears more than once?

Or my personal favorite:

3. THE TOWER IS THE FINAL BOSS.

Let's get onto the next strings.

We get some more person strings, Yada Yada.

But wait no stop. Creator. Why is creator in there. If this code was being run FROM an editor, a creator string wouldn't be required.

Unless there planning on making a single player level editor. But that can't be the case right..... r-right.

(NINTENDO DONT DO THIS TO ME PLEASE)

Anyway anyway, the next strings about "tower layer" DEFINITELY are talking about the hub worlds. Seems well be getting 4 in this dlc, a beginning, low, middle, and high, as well as a "query" [loading zone?] For both.

And yeah that's it! Here's a summary

What we think we know:

-8 ball stages will return

-Ink snake blocks, ink rails, ink grind rails, and the balloon pufferfish bomb things will return as mechanics.

-2 bosses as of posting (a ballking and towerking)

-a "victory lift"

- and possibly 4 "layers"

What I speculate will be added

-a single player mission editor. [Very unlikely]

- the return of octowhirl.
