#whatever this is just me rambling.

You didn't come back wrong, you came back late. Everything around you feels alien. The neighborhood you grew up in is gone, replaced by a facsimile of what once may have been and filled with new things you cannot recognize. The people you loved are all either dead or dying, some of which spent decades waiting for you while others feverishly searched for you in vain. The language you used has mutated - still the same bones, still many familiar words, but every so often you will say something that will make people around you titter and giggle, all the while using vocabulary you struggle to remember. The things you have lived are now history, and when they ask you about things that happened seventy years ago you only have to look back a month or two. The grief you've been carrying for barely a week is now over half a century old, and even if everyone assumes you are fine, you still lock yourself in your room to feel its weight more often than not. The feeling of wonder you could've maybe had is dampened by damn near everything else. You are a shell of a person because almost everything that made you you was left behind, and the few pieces that remain are too busy holding you back from falling apart to be doing anything else. You are here, you are now, but you are not yourself - and you might never be.

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without

hey, remember being 18 years old and playing mass effect for the first time and it's got this like intense aura of being very small and very insignificant in a very big, very empty galaxy? remember playing mass effect for the first time and everything all of this is so new and mysterious, and it's 2am and you're sitting in a dark room in the light from your tv and you're playing through feros for the first time and you feel that this is someting very old and very ancient and you are somewhere you shouldn't be and you don't know what's going to happen or where you're going but you keep on. there's a tingling in your stomach and you're playing mass effect for the first time. the thorian is a milennia old sentient plant being. the rachni queen is old and telepathic and a hive mind and in pain. sovereign is an ancient machine that has not been built but is, and has always been, and this is something so alien and so unlike and beyond anything your human mind can comprehend, and this is something unexplainable and huge and as uncaring and indifferent as the empty galaxy around you. you're playing mass effect for the first time and you're walking on the surface of an almost completely empty planet with nothing but your two companions silently walking beside you and everything is so huge and empty and silent and you're so small and insignificant and it's so beautiful and so scary and you feel like you are on a rollercoaster about to drop down. you are playing mass effect for the first time and you're playing the mission on the moon and you stop and just look up at earth visible in the sky. you know this. this is home. you are playing mass effect for the first time, and the galaxy is so big, and you are so tiny, and everything is about to change for you.

this older man driving a pick up truck just eyed me up and down while i was loading up the car from the farmer’s market. had me thinking about price from a small town helping a pretty city girl to settle well. telling her local lore and little tips of how to get fresh berries on sale. showing her how to avoid traffic going to the lake. brings her around to his friends’ place, saying how he’s just really showing her around. sure, she doesn’t know that he’s been calling her his little wife for a while now, and that this show-and-tell is practically means of staking his claim, but well. things just happen for a reason, don’t it sweetheart? you’re just gon’ have to learn how to be thankful for his help, yeah?

thinking of any relationship ending as "it had just run its course" makes me so physically ill

being an adult means we can buy or make as much self-indulgent shit (as we can afford) and unironically have trinkets of our fave things cause our teen years was bullied for liking things and hiding/denying we were ever neurodivergent to the point of suicide. sucks for anyone that thinks its weird cringe but I'm going to try and allow myself to love myself in little ways now

“haha odo is so beige and bland and boring despite being a literal shapeshifter” like ok yes I laugh at those jokes too and find them funny I literally have no issue with them but sometimes I also wanna talk about how that’s kind of the whole point of his character.

like odo’s abilities and way of being is so unlike any other known species in the alpha quadrant that it’s shown to be disturbing and off-putting to a lot of people — or at the very least that’s what he was led to believe. like we see this in the alternate where mora tries to convince him he’ll either be locked up in a prison or put in a zoo to gawk at if he’s perceived to have committed any sort of crime or transgression.

so despite being able to literally become anything he can think of, he chooses his default presentation to be as standard, bland and uninteresting as he possibly can. male, always in a beige uniform, very standard hair cut.

odo is so plain because he was made to be afraid of being literally anything else

simon probably likes those buttery keyboards somehow. just thinking about him being engrossed with the cute, soft-sounding keys every time he tippy-taps. bet his ass began to write comprehensive (-ish) emails n shit.

“to whom it may concern,” but it’s just price he’s addressing. “i’m extending my vacation. thanks. xx.”

probs adds things like, “should you have any concerns, do hesitate to contact me.” and “hope i won’t hear from you soon.”

but signs it off with, “best,” because he’s still a good boy.

(“who the hell bought you that?”

“my partner.”

“ah, that’s—i’m sorry, what?”

“yeah.” a quiet slurp. “didn’t i tell you? i’m engaged.”

“no?”

“ah. i am.”)
