There's an interesting parallel between Susan and Billy that emerges in Ch. 1 of Runaway Max, and that is that both of them are described to be "sleepy" in a sense.

Susan is compared by Neil as a "Sleeping Beauty" when they first interact which in hindsight is very concerning in its implications. Max describes Billy as perpetually looking sleepy, too.

What I think is happening is that both Susan and Billy dissociate to cope with their lives, and this is convenient for Neil who picks Susan because she is easy to control.

He's already established control over Billy, and he doesn't introduce Billy to them until he has Susan locked into a relationship, making it difficult for either Susan or Billy to change anything.

Billy was practice for Neil in a way. He couldn't maintain control over his first wife, but he could use all these tactics on Billy and then apply them to whatever susceptible woman he wanted.

And it's possible he saw vulnerabilities in Susan that he had already identified in his son. While Susan is more docile, the lack of confidence and inability to be present mentally is easily exploitable for both.

Hello!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for 6k+ followers! 

For such a “dead” website It amazes me every day how many people find my blog haha. Welcome to my realm everyone!

Also figured id take this opportunity to give a little intro- because I haven't done that in quite some time.

This blog is mainly dedicated to the gals from anime/manga related media anywhere from the 1970s to 2010 (I have a pretty strict cut off and try to do my research on any piece I'm not sure about). Anything I find/post will simply be tagged as anime, and if applicable should be tagged with the artist and/or game as well as the year it was released.

Sometimes you may see things mixed in such as:

Orbs 

Fashion/Cosplay

cool things from geocities

pc-98 edits 

music, ethereal/fantasy artwork and the rare (usually affirmative or informative) text post. I don’t usually tag these but if anyone were to request such, I would be willing to.

For the most part I try to keep this blog as SFWish as possible so that it may be accessible for more people BUT you may find occasional nudity, suggestive pose, etc. You know what you're getting into lol. 

Lastly I also have a second blog for more “personal” blogging as well as a guest book for anybody interested ^^

yeah... uhm. just occurred to me that some of you might not know I have alternate accounts. both on Discord (though I am slipping back entirely to using mainly my first one...) both on Ao3 and here, on Tumblr, too. so if I mention sharing and posting things, I am talking about through those alternate accounts... and no, I do not wish to tell about those if you ask me about the name of those. I'm quite sure you can find those. those are not 'secret' accounts, I'm not hiding them, I'm just keeping those separately.

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!

an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.

“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.

and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.

and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.

I forgot how lonely it is to write original fiction.

Where are the kudos? The subscriptions? The comments? The people cheerleading me chapter to chapter? Where are the kind words and compliments and reassurances that what I'm writing isn't complete crap? Where are the unhinged emojis? The asks on Tumblr? Where are my mutuals in my dms apologizing for not reading the latest chapter right away (side note, you know you don't have to apologize at all, right??). Where is the fanart? Where are the recs?

Where is my motivation to keep going?

It's something I've been thinking about a lot, actually, lately. How the experience of writing fanfic is so unique. How you already have an audience, willing and waiting and captive. And that's really it, isn't it? You have an audience. It's almost performative, writing fanfic. It's being on a stage, a one-person show (or two, if you do it with a friend); it's getting live reactions to your performance, it's feeding off the energy of the crowd and informing it back in a feedback loop; it's improvised, sometimes, in almost-real-time. It's building something that you couldn't have built by yourself. A thing that takes on a life of its own.

It's an experience you can't get writing original fiction, and, honestly, not having it is making it hard to write something original at all.
