#Red Rambles

I have had a vision

Emmrich while Rook is trapped in the Fade

Seems to be keeping it together as far as the team can tell

He's obviously tired and working every hour he can to get them back

Lucanis is a little concerned at how much coffee he's suddenly drinking but glass houses

And he is looking a little more rumpled than usual, possibly scruffy? No surely not

I put this in the 1st week, Rook is missing about day 4 or 5 but could go to 6 or 7 depends on what else he's been doing to stay awake

The team has convened in the dinning room to discuss progress, mostly because Lucanis insists everyone come and eat something, especially Emmrich as he's noticed how much of the vegetarian offerings is left at the end of meals (could be even more heart-wrenching if Rook is also a vegetarian, and he keeps making enough for two)

Anyway everyone is sitting around the dinning table, the dishes haven't been cleared beyond pushing them out of the way for space for them to all compare notes

Except Emmrich who is leaning against the fireplace with a glass of something that Spite says smells like Trees. Smoke. And Regrets!

But it's alcoholic which is weird for Mr Emmrich "never more than a glass of wine occasionally at dinner" Volkarin, and it's not the first glass or even the second, but again everyone is a little stressed so no one is going to judge the man for it

Conversation is happening, and it's all nope, nothing, no clue, not heard back etc

Depressing as fuck

Emmrich has been absolutely silent the entire conversation

Not a word

Someone (depends on certain choices, but my three options are Bellara, Harding or Neve) asks Emmrich if they've got anything to add/are they OK/they've been awfully silent for the Fade expert depends on the level of sass/care/snark you want to go for

For a beat, Emmrich doesn't move or react, and they think he hasn't heard them, so they start to try again

They don't get beyond his name, "Emmrich—"

When he moves like a snake uncoiling to strike, whips his arm back and throws his glass into the fireplace with a crashing of glass, a whoosh of flame and everyone else flinching/bolting up out their seats as he just screams "FUCK!!!"

There's dead silence as everyone holds their breaths

Emmrich moves first

He straightens up, tugs his rumpled waistcoat down, takes two steps and then passes out

Do with it what you will, but I needed to get it out in the world

I hear Bruce Wayne spends a lot of time here.

Thinking about how the Giants were gone from the Skylands for 10,000 years, that is such a long time. Like, we discovered agriculture 10,000 years ago, I genuinely can’t understate how the world they knew is gone entirely, the languages that no one speaks anymore that are their native tongues, the cultures, all of it, it’s gone. All that’s left is what little about themselves that probably remained on stone tablets, stories that grew warped and exaggerated over time, the only proof they even existed being the ruins of the Arkeyan Empire

Tumblr is both equally hilarious and heartbreaking for artists. A really shitty shitpost doodle i did in 5 minutes has 1k notes and the recent art I did thay I poured so much time and effort into has like 5. That is both fucking hilarious and stings a bit.

The queer community really normalized the words for fluidity and multigenderism but not the experiences at all.

I'm not the first to make this type of post, but I'm gonna go beyond just what the original said (and I'll edit this to include a link when I find the original again on my dash because it usually shows up once a week): we've normalize words like boygirl but most people haven't normalized actually being a boy and a girl, or a man and a woman, at the same time, and for fluidity they don't normalize actually being a boy or man and being a girl or woman at different times. Instead "boygirl" is just used like a label for androgyny or worse neutrality (nothing wrong with being neutral but being a boy and a girl is NOT that). We normalize the words bigender and genderfluid but never recognize them as actually having multiple genders. Bigender people are treated like half and half, and together androgynous or neutral instead of both of their genders at once, and genderfluid people are just seen like nonbinary people who use different pronouns and different times. We normalize the words but we don't normalize being sapphic and achillean, veldian and lesbian, a lesbian man or a veldian woman, straight and lesbian or straight and veldian. The things that are experienced by multigender people. We normalize the words but we don't allow bigender people to identify with anything other than "bigender" and we don't allow genderfluid people to identify with anything other than "genderfluid." If they want to label their orientations their options are mspec, trixic, toric, and enbian, and anything else is wrong. They're never allowed to say they're straight, and if they are allowed to be veldian/achillean or lesbian/sapphic (and they only get to pick one), they must degender themselves and pretend they don't experience womanhood or manhood.

Similarly, we normalize the word abrosexual but many don't allow abrosexuals to identify as anything but abro. They're not allowed to identify as any of the orientations they experience, even with some regularity. They might be allowed an mspec term - but they're never allowed to say they're veldians, or lesbians, and god forbid they identify as both. Even when they're experiencing being one of those things, it's not "allowed" for them to use the terms because the community deemed fluidity as not *really* the things they experienced because it's not permanent.

If we are gonna normalize the labels of multigender, genderfluid, and abrosexual can we actually get it in our heads that some people are multiple full genders at once, and if they're a man, a woman, and nonbinary, they are AS MUCH of a man as any monogender man, AS MUCH of a woman as any monogender woman, and JUST AS NONBINARY as any monogender enby? Can we get it though our heads that some people experience multiple full genders at different times, and they are AS MUCH of a man as any statically gendered man when they experience manhood, AS MUCH of a woman as any statically gendered woman when they experience womanhood, and JUST AS NONBINARY as any statically gendered enby when they experience enbanhood? Can we get it through our heads that some people experience multiple orientations at different times, and they are AS MUCH of a lesbian when they experience lesbianism, AS MUCH of a veldian when they experience veldianism, JUST AS STRAIGHT as any other straight person when they feel themselves straight, and JUST AS MSPEC when they experience attraction to multiple genders?

(there's also people who experience multiple orientations at once, statically, but we haven't even been normalized yet so. Yeah.)

forever mad that some idiot named it ‘selective mutism’ like i have any say in the matter

WHY IS EVERYONE MAKING MR RING A DING PREGNANT?!?!?!?!

[bitegore]

my kingdom for a world in which female characters who are brusque, blunt, and don't care very much about other people's feelings are written without either being softened into kind and nurturing figures or demonized into monsters and instead are just allowed to be kind of not interested in other people's feelings or somehow responsible for their peers' emotions

I woke up today suddenly missing KHR but a specific kind of Feeling. I crave Angst.

KHR fandom, do you have any recs of angsty retelling of TYL!Tsuna's Death? You know, that other Future arc with his plan to fake-death. Or just any fics related to it. I'm ok with any ship but I prefer it focusing on Tsuna and his guardians and Reborn. I don't care for romantic or familial, I just wanna enjoy them mourning their boss haha

But for consideration my fave Tsuna ships: 5927, 8027, 6927, R27 and honestly All27 at this point I'm not picky

Idk why I just wanna read about Tsuna DYING today 😂
