#rambling text post

With how much Haku helps with our anxiety and PTSD thoughts and intrusive thoughts and such...we now have anxiety if he isn't with us. Which we've never experienced aside from if we forgot Lump when we left the house. I don't really know how to feel about it. It's great that he helps so much, but getting anxious if he isn't near could become problematic...and maybe it's just that having him around reduces our anxiety so much and when he isn't around it goes back to "normal" anxiety levels? Which for us normal anxiety levels are pretty high. So, maybe it isn't that him not being with us causes anxiety, but that he just reduces it that much and we are already adjusting to the lowered anxiety levels. I dunno.

Regardless, I'm a little nervous about being dependent on him to that degree.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling text post. We just kind of wanted to get those thoughts out. If you read this and have had similar experiences with becoming anxious if your essa isn't around, feel free to share.

Wonder if the local Community College has like, an adult home economics class.

It would give much more of an excuse and opportunity for me to learn how to make more meal types. Burgers are great and all, but I'd love to eat more variety. Dungeon Meshi is also motivating me some too.

so that post from @probablybadrpgideas about Fae developing a tolerance to iron and metal, and someone adding that they’d loose their crap when in the proximity of plastic.

to which I have another proposal: people who collect and wear lots of pins, keychains, bracelets with plastic beads, etc: would be impervious to The Fae.

oh I walked into your territory and now you want my name? good luck bro I’ve got Freeze Blade in my purse don’t test me

Give me a sassy Sun. An immature one. A Sun who acts on impulse. A Sun which is easily annoyed, bitter and petty. Give me a Sun who's a perfectionist at heart, but can't do nothing about it. Give me an abandoned Sun, we don't know for how long the daycare is closed. With chipped paint and rusting joints. A Sun that fantasizes about getting violent towards human staff.

But also give me a Sun that isolates itself in fear of hurting someone. One that wants to be whole with his counterpart in its isolation. One who understands the severity of their situation. Give me a Sun who actually was fond of kids and misses them. The drawings from them that he hides in his room. Give me-

anyway feeling very normal about this scene

the fact that after a long, unpleasant day of absolutely nothing going his way and constantly being reminded of how much everyone else dislikes him, he's too tired to keep his act up and seeks out a genuine conversation with the one person whom he hasn't interacted with through the entire adventure

Pomni about to answer sincerely before realizing it's Jax and changing her approach, either out of caution or uncertainty by him being so... casual

she braces for one of his usual remarks/jokes but is surprised when he answers with neither, simply letting her know how he's doing as well

finally, when he's called over for another task, he's still visibly annoyed but follows through without much protest and waves goodbye to Pomni, who is undoubtedly confused by what she just saw.

there have been a couple of instances where the series shows us that Jax is being affected by the circus more than he lets on, and they were really focused on during this episode.

this got me thinking about what Goose really meant by him "getting worse"; most people (myself included) interpreted it as his actions gradually escalating to a point where it could result in conflict with the rest of the cast, but after this scene and near the end where he leaves and gets in his car, it could be understood as his repressed emotions finally catching up to him and turning his mental well-being for the worst. It could also be a mix of the two

now this is the part where I put my delusional cap on, but there has been a significant build up to Jax and Pomni's relationship through the whole series, the most notorious one being:

his hand missing from Pomni's moment of realization that the other people she's been trapped with are trustworthy and care for her. You obviously can't blame her for coming to this conclusion, but I think that's exactly what made this small interaction a lot more important

Jax has been pushing others away and masking his emotions for who knows how long, and one of the primary focus and messages of TADC is connections with others and how important they are, so for them to show us Pomni seeing Jax have a brief moment of vulnerability, I do believe it's reasonable to think that they will eventually develop a relationship with some amount of significance, maybe even something close to a friendship

but yeah, feeling very normal

smth i honestly recommend everyone should do is like. keep a private folder of art u like on ur computer lol. and like. download art u like when u see it. ur gonna lose stuff Forever if u just like it, u know? and like, discord archives arent really enough lol. I have been downloading art since like 2016 & I have a LOT of art that was scrubbed from the internet otherwise, especially due to like. the antics of deviantart & twitter. And on things like twitter theres Barely a way to save art to begin with (bookmarks is Not good enough)

u do kinda lose Credit a lot of the time (unless u save it with it named? which i do sometimes but not always) and often like, it won't be the Perfect HQ or itll have a massive watermark on it. but like. since it's not really for Sharing as much as its for my own personal enjoyment, these things don't really bother me at all... Having a collection of art that i love that I can look at offline & like, On My Computer is so nice. And I back up a lot of it on hard drives when i back up my own art! Again, like, a lot of these pieces this is the Only way i can look at them anymore, and Maybe the only archive OF them.... I've had pieces from my friends Before they were my friends, that i just saved as a "fan", that THEY lost years later... I have pieces they hadn't Seen in years. And every year I Probably save at least a few more pieces that will become like, totally scrubbed from technology otherwise. idk. i think it's nice to have an archive of this art that is in my taste but also like, that i'd likely Lose otherwise.

i Hope people save my art. I don't honestly Think anyone does, but I Hope that like, if my shit ever blows up and all my accounts get scrubbed, Someone has at least one drawing I made saved to their computer 2 remember me. u know. Its like a scrapbook. I remember these ppls characters, i remember the communities at the time, i remember how i felt when i first saw the piece. Its really inspiring but also genuinely like, really Important to me and sentimental. I kinda think everyone should have their own collection but I think people are genuinely Scared to right click & save ppls art LOL. Genuinely where is the harm, though.

Gerson reminds me so much of my Jewish great grandfather so I may be biased when I say this, but he feels very Jewish coded to me. Like firstly, his name is Gerson, a Hebrew name. Then, we have the scarf he wears on his shoulders, which looks a lot like a more simple, non-traditional tallit

Obviously he’s not actually Jewish as Deltarune has its own religion, but I see a lot of people just equating that religion directly to Christianity which I think can limit analysis and theory crafting. Deltarune takes a lot of stuff from Christianity sure, but it’s not as cut and dry as just Christianity 2 Electric Boogaloo. It’s nice to see some traditions from different religions were also represented, like with the Guei or incense burning, and it’s interesting what these elements may say about the story’s greater themes. Hell, even the angel of death Azrael is mostly a Jewish and Islamic figure if I remember correctly

Hua Cheng essentially cockblocking himself for possibly all of eternity will literally never not be the funniest thing MXTX ever wrote.

Xie Lian was pretty much completely in love with him the second he saw those lanterns (and completely oblivious about it) and then we get the wonderful first kiss underwater moment and Xie Lian is basically drawing hearts around Hua Cheng every time he sees him. While like quietly dying cause he literally has no idea what to do with it. Like at this point he doesn’t even really understand that he is head over heels totally gone for this man.

Until Hua Cheng is like I have a beloved I just haven’t won them over yet. Which he thinks is perfectly reasonable because his self esteem is the worst and he doesn’t understand how he could have won Xie Lian over yet. (He’s only on step 22 of his Marrying Dianxia 3000 step Master Plan ((that he debates throwing out on a regular basis because he doesn’t deserve to even dream about wanting Xie Lian)). So course he’s like yeah I have this wonderful noble beautiful beloved I just haven’t won them over yet wink wink nudge nudge.

But Xie Lian is like oh of course obviously I don’t deserve nice things and fuck I actually wanted him so badly I’m actually in love with him and now I will resign myself to never being happy for his sake. (Their combined self esteem is truly a so low it’s a hole in the ground which is hilarious because they think the other person is to good for them and unattainable forever because they literally have the same neurosis.) So he starts boxing up his feelings forever constantly wanting Hua Cheng and feeling guilty about it and literally dying inside because he wants Hua Cheng like he’s never wanted anyone.

Like essentially books 3 and 5 only happen because Hua Cheng has now cursed them both by saying he has a beloved because Xie Lian believes he isn’t wanted and therefore any nice thing Hua Cheng does is just him being nice and not Hua Cheng pulling out steps 23-34 of his plan thinking he still hasn’t won Xie Lian over. (He has he so has but he shot himself in the foot so badly it’s painful to read).

Like thank the Gods Hua Cheng is so unhinged and created the cave of 10000 Gods cause Xie Lian would literally be at his own wedding to Hua Cheng still convinced he wanted someone else and this was in fact a thing they were doing to solve a case together otherwise.

Like he needed something that unhinged to put 2 and 2 together otherwise he never would have caught on he’s Hua Cheng’s beloved. Meanwhile Hua cheng is like 🥺 he’s going to think I’m a weirdo now and I’m only on step 50 of the plan 🥺 like the two of them wouldn’t have been fucking nasty 2 books ago if he just kept his mouth shut and didn’t cockblock himself so violently.

“callie shipman” “callie taylor” “callie taylor-shipman” well no actually because the tragedy of callie sadecki is that she is not a taylor, and she is not a shipman, and she will never be either. she will always live in the shadow of a girl she never met and a baby she never knew, she will always be a reminder to her mother of the things she lost and the mistakes she made and the life she’ll never get to have.

her name is callie sadecki. because no matter how hard she tries, she will never be anything more to shauna than the unwanted child of a man she never loved.

there's something so intimate about mutuals being on here at the same time. like oh you reblogged that from me just seconds after i posted/reblogged that, so in essence we have touched the same thing. did you feel me.

The way Susies presence alone makes Kris happy and filled with hope. Like everythings going to be ok as long as shes right there next to them. As long as she continues to smile and be herself, then thats enough to keep them going.

And the wayyyyy. The way. Susies endeared by little glimpses of who Kris' truly is (or in other words, what they're unable to express while we're controlling them). She loves when they play piano like its actuallyyyyy. Actually insane how the piano is a shared piece of vulnerability between them. A skill they both lost or must keep buried away that they long to return to by their own will.

Susies bluntness and kind nature is what makes Kris love her so so so so sooo much like its bananas. I wish I could put this more poetically, maybe later. But thinking about them after these new chapters makes me so giddy >w< 💞💞💞💞!!!!
