somewhere theres a secret universe where im saturns blorbo from their shows

[chasingfictions]

actually something to me is emotional about vampire willow definitely being queer and definitely being a catalyst for willow's understanding of her own queerness but also distinctly not living as a lesbian like — the idea of vamp willow as also a lesbian but not having been able to realize that. i have endless thoughts about willow's compulsory heterosexuality but also there's something so deeply tragic to me about the idea of willow frozen in time before she realizes she's a lesbian, making out with xander, the very emblem of all her comphet. like the doylist reaason for that being they didn't even for sure know if willow would be gay at that point and also i don't think they put that much thought into it honestly, but the watsonian explanation of willow dying and being frozen at a version of herself who never understands that she doesn't really want men, who is existing as the favorite vampire of her sire in a deeply patriarchal sire line, the master as kind of a stand in for giles, this representation of patriarchal approval ... vampire willow is free from the constraints of her human life and also bound to the exact insecurities and self-obfuscation that defined her human life. she is free to be queer but still not free to understand herself. she never gets to grow up. in the same way the slayer experiences too much and not enough adulthood, vampire willow is an all-powerful being who is in control of her life. and yet the master is in control of her life. and yet she does not have the freedom of selfhood or the time for self discovery to work out that she is a lesbian. and yet she will never grow past being a teenager, not ever. she is immortal and yet she dies so much earlier than she does in the universe where she is still human.

anyway new scenario i am cherishing as a treat for me is that the same night juno was using his coping skills to not drink away his feelings, nureyev got scooped at the spaceport and then subsequently dropped off at the lighthouse by ruby, and in the process of name reveal/family reunion/etc he lets buddy and vespa get him drunk (in what is probably the first time he's been actually intoxicated in lo these twenty odd years)

crucial elements: vespa is now capable of getting drunk, and buddy remains not capable of getting drunk, i don't think nureyev has worked his way up to the mortifying ordeal of both of them being sober while he is drunk and it's already mortifying enough that buddy's gonna interrogate him about his feelings which he is now working on acknowledging that he has. vespa is a.) in a secure and relaxed enough frame of mind to tolerate being drunk around nureyev, largely bc b.) buddy is sober and has the upper hand if they're actually wrong about him even now, c.) 'i don't wanna deal with your shit sober anyway'. and furthermore both of them are only going to be able to tolerate being impaired at all knowing that at least one person in the room has Got This because they are both thinking about ambushes at all times

(it takes him the entire rest of the next day to get to hyperion city and feeling presentable enough to go see juno bc his ass is NOT used to having a hangover)

week that was already in the fucking toilet has tanked directly into the earth's core and i can't even fuck around on this stupid hellsite because part of the tanking has to do with people behaving wildly on here and everything is BAD. ok pity party over

Just read Chapter 19 and I LOVED IT!

PANDEMONIUM, ITTSSSS BACC!

(Bros really gonna give Sadao some PTSD in the next chapter)

But Sadao rage ranting in Japanese while he wrecks the office room with Sebby just standing in the corner with his hands up like "you good bro?" Is the funniest shit.

When Painter finds out Sadao and Sebastian held hands, he's gonna lose his mind.

But poor Sadao, I wanna give him a hug.

Eve is really giving the vibes of the mom who judges the boyfriend of her child (the 'child' being Sebastian). She be like

Eve: how can I trust that you'll treat my boy right?

Sadao: I would die for him

Genuine question though? Are we gonna get a fic of them recovering and healing on the surface after Confluence, because I can imagine Celeste fainting at the sight of Sebastian but recovers, only to faint again at the sight of Sadao and Painter.

And would Sadao's family help him? Would his brother and sisters accept him with his new body?

(Yappin too much sorry, brainrot goes hard and I love this fic)

Overall, very yummy chapter, 10/10.

Hehe I’m glad you enjoyed the chapter

To answer your questions it’s a maybe on a sequel. I might not do like a chapter by chapter one like Confluence and Vicissitude, but make a set of one-shots/Drabbles cuz I don’t have a solid picture on what they are gonna do on the surface. I still have things to figure out with Confluence and how ima end things so we will see~

And yes absolutely Sadao’s family would help, and they would accept them. It would be hard at first, but not in the oh god you’re horrifying, but more of what happened to my baby brother sort of way. They all are very protective of Sadao so having him show up after being told by Urbanshade that he had died in an accident…yeah.

But they absolutely would do whatever they can to help.

Florida Representative Maxwell Frost, the first Gen Z US Representative is up.

He is speaking as a "Florida Man," talking about how he's seen and spoken to people effected by climate change in his home state. (Climate change is a major theme of tonight)

Tackling the climate crisis has been proven to create jobs, investing in transit grows communities, and war destroys communities.

Fighting climate change is patriotic — it's "about giving a damn about the people who live in this country." If you love somebody, you want them to have clean drinking water, a good paying job, and some other things I missed because I can't type fast enough.

It was a brief speech, but he's someone to watch.

christ i havent used this blog in a while. anyway the natten rp is really weird because 75% of it is a cesspool and im genuinely still a fan of the other 25%. i think my (because 10 never played her) portrayal of site 17 was really good other than the baby factory thing because the way she treated her children and vanguard was definitely on brand for the embodiment of an abusive workplace. and 10’s narration of aaron physically deteriorating from the loss of exchange after the scp foundation’s death is simply Correct because it turns out the sudden involuntary loss of any major personif exchange is incredibly traumatic! and trauma manifests as physical chronic illness a significant portion of the time. everything about o5-1 and the scp foundation’s relationship was top tier. i think this is because we had this strict unspoken rule that direct sexual abuse could never be involved between them (aaron’s conditioning of her did indirectly lead to the salaud arc though) so we had to come up with ways to get the endorphins that weren’t purely shock value because yeah we only used the rape for shock value. in my defense i was 13. also a lot of the rage and grief in there was real we were both projecting really hard so i also think that made it more genuinely heartwrenching i absolutely would get obsessed over them again if i rejoined the scp fandom lmao

would that knowing the thoughts were irrational would Make Them Go Away!!!!

I don’t fuck w new apartment type people at all like none of my friends live in a place like that with the floor to ceiling windows revealing rows and rows of empty treadmills lit up at night for some reason i see from the train like who are the cool young professionals they make those things for like what are their jobs what are they like to hang out with? I used to dogwalk for apartments like that and it was always incredible the contrast between the beautiful gleaming lobbies and the boring, mundane mess inside people’s apartments. I think most of the people who live there are mostly like my cousin steve who used to live in a place like that i think but he lost a lot of money on nfts. I don’t know him well but he seems nice. Oh but man I’ll never stop thinking about this one woman in this one apartment. I wasn’t her normal dogwalker i guess i was subbing in for someone and she had a white poodle and one of the special one bedroom apartments for people with disabilities that has a fire alarm with lights for deaf people and extra wide doorways for wheelchair users. Anyways she had her standard white poodle in a crate in one corner but almost no furniture and zero decor. Like the living room had absolutely nothing in it except the crate with the white poodle inside. Truly it was grey laminate floors and blank white walls, in the bedroom a bed with beige sheets and a dresser. Almost no evidence of human life except, in the kitchen, tote bags and piles of documents that looked official and maybe medical, so I didn’t look too closely. But there was easily 30 pounds of paper in her apartment and basically nothing else, except also loose kibble on the floor and the whole place smelled like dog food. Obviously i was like ok this is the apartment of a disabled woman I’m not here from queer eye I’m here from a dogwalking company that went outta business in 2017. So i took her white standard poodle out for a walk in the crisp boston winter and it behaved like a normal poodle (intelligent alien species pretending to be a dog) and we ran into the dog’s owner! A thin white woman in her 30s, dressed in athleisure. She recognized her dog, not me, not me cuz like i said this was my first time walking this particular poodle. And so we chatted for a bit and she said she was out for a jog! She was out for a jog while paying someone else to walk her dog. But besides that she didn’t seem to have any disabilities, or even like any problems in her life? And I’ve never been able to forget how happy and normal she seemed, even though we BOTH knew what the inside of her apartment was like. It was surreal but i took her white poodle back to their empty apartment. And i put the white poodle back in its crate and never saw him or his owner ever again. But i still think about her all the time.

I will never be over Astra and Usterayie because what do you meannnnnnnn they finally reached an understanding with each other, renewed the dragon bond, and then they were dead

what do you meannnnnnnn "Alone, we will never be enough, maybe together we'll be able to do something about the things we keep losing" AND THEN THEY WERE TOGETHER AND THEY FOUGHT AND THEY LOST REGARDLESS

WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNNN Astra was always risking their own safety in favour of Usterayie's but it meant Usterayie had to see Astra go down and down again and she'd already lost them once - she couldn't lose them again - and just as Astra's resolved to live, for her, Usterayie has to watch them go down again and this time it's for good

what do you meannnnn Astra became something they hated and gave up everything - their morals, soul, their afterlife, Usterayie's soul and afterlife by accident because they're linked through that dragon bond - and it was all for nothing because they didn't even last a day

every time I think about them it's pure misery; they are drenched in tragedy after tragedy after tragedy
