I've been going through a lot of changes in my medications in the past week or so and it's really starting to take a toll on me mentally. I'm probably not going to post much art until things settle down a bit so if I'm more inactive than usual, that is why.

I'm kicking, screaming, crying, throwing up, pulling my hair out by the roots—
Exile by Taylor Swift is such a Maiko-coded song. Like, it doesn't get more perfect. Literally every single line of that song fits with Maiko perfectly ugh!!!
The way I'm feeling right now has no solution, no relief. It's like how you want to crush cute things cause there really isn't any response that would deal with the stimulus called cuteness? I'm going crazy because I can't express how much I love this song and I love maiko and sometimes words aren't necessary. Sometimes it's just the vibes and exile is so maiko in vibes—I feel like I've understood a lot of things I feel like throwing up.
It's like Zuko and Aang looking at the dragon flames and understanding firebending. I listen to exile and it's just—maiko in my head...just pictures and vibes and feels. No words apart from the ones in the song and they fit, okay?

my niece is staying with us for the whole weekend for the first time. until now it's always been one night only, not two.
it's the second night now and I have already decided this is not happening again anytime soon. I'm so fucking exhausted. it'd be less exhausting if it was my nephew, I think - he's older and also doesn't need as much help (even when he was her age).
I love my niece but she just asks so many questions. like when we're watching a show or a movie, even if it's one she has seen before (even multiple times), she doesn't understand what's going on and constantly asks me to explain everything. I don't mind it, really, but it does take a lot of energy. plus tonight it took over two hours for her to fall asleep because she was scared by the noises of the house and the nearby road. I get it, but damn I'm so fucking tired, I just want to sleep 😭

this is a very specific scenario, i know, but barton trauma-bonding with a hero and vice versa because they got stuck in the middle of the desert together due to the fact that they were both simultaneously betrayed / LEFT TO DIE there, but they managed to survive after they spent some time vehemently refusing to help each other in the beginning. though, they soon began to help each other (albeit reluctantly) because they realized that would be the ONLY way that they would survive this. and barton tries to kickstart their bastardization arc™ by telling the hero to kill the people who dumped them there. and this is because, in his mind, they don't deserve to live. then barton goes on to tell them that he's planning on killing the person who betrayed him so it's fineee if the hero does it,, because he ain't a snitch + won't tell anyone they killed anyone (,: now whether or not the hero actually starts their bastardization arc is up to them, of course, but if anyone is interested in a plot like this... HMU because i think this would be such an interesting dynamic to roleplay 👀

I know that it has been established that Dan Heng has nightmares, but I haven't seen anyone mention Trailblazer and March 7th having their own—and ones related to them, not a Supreme Guardian.
Although Dan Heng is running from his past, both Trailblazer and March 7th don't know their own.
Where Dan Heng has nightmares of Blade, it only makes sense for Trailblazer to have nightmares of Kafka. Although she was the one that practically gave them life, she's known to be manipulative. She's known to be the enemy. The woman depends on some kind of future that Trailblazer doesn't quite understand, or know anything about, and the uncertainty is enough to bring them paranoia. What is their purpose? How is it meant to be achieved? Who will be hurt in the process? Why didn't Kafka let them stay with her? Kafka knows so much more than Trailblazer knows. It could feel like she has so much more control, even if she speaks as if their futures are already determined—and if their futures are determined, is the outcome really going to be a good one? What if Trailblazer is harmed again, just as they had been with Cocolia, yet there is no second chance?
March 7th, on the other hand, isn't shown to have a different connection with someone. There's no one that seems to haunt her—no one except herself. She doesn't know who she used to be, and that's the problem. What if she was someone awful in the past? Someone who hurt others for her own gain? What if there comes a day where she forgets everything once more and the pictures she took can't jog her memory? Although March acts so enthusiastic, she's had to prepare stories of who she could have been, and some of them wouldn't be positive. All the girl knows is that she can shape her future, but what if she chooses the wrong path?
There's so much that can be explored, and despite me knowing that it wouldn't happen, I think it'd be nice if the trio did have a slumber party after having nightmares, and were able to sleep soundly together. Dan Heng needs to sleep in a bed regardless.
