i love the concept of time lord dazai who strictly lives by one specific rule: he never allows himself to get closer to the people he encounters on his journey because while they are mortals, he isn't. they can spend the rest of their lives with him, but he will never grow old with them.

no matter how much he time-travels across the universe, that consuming loneliness that punches the oxygen out of his lungs is always going to be there.

that is, until a certain hot-headed ginger enters the equation as the most unpredictable of all variables.

chuuya is fierce, stubborn, loud, passionate, spiteful, loyal to the point it might get him killed.

letting him go will be the hardest thing dazai has ever done.

I was watching someone's soundtrack reaction to the Wicked movie when Defying Gravity popped up and they said this:

"From Glinda's perspective she's like 'Why would you not just put on a face? Do you have to say everything you feel, and do everything you stand by?'"

And I was just like: There! There! You broke Glinda down to her bare bones! Everything about her is a performance meant to make the majority of people adore her! She's a bubbly blonde with a pretty face. No one expects her to be anything else. Despite this though, Glinda is honestly the more strategic and less impulsive of the two. Elphaba constantly has so much passion just bursting forth. She's reactionary. And the hard part about Defying Gravity is that for a moment Glinda gets swept up in that passion. She cares for Elphie so much and of course she would love to go with her, look out for her, because Elphie's right about a lot of things, and they would be an unbeatable team.

But once Glinda stops to think, once she's able to truly grasp the severity of what Elphie's suggesting, all she can see is two young women going up against someone who controls perception throughout the whole country. She sees that they don't have a plan. They don't have anywhere to go. She sees them both having to run and run and run. She can't be as impulsive as Elphie. She can't even be as passionate. Because Glinda has buried so much of herself behind a facade that to be truly exposed for what she really is feels like it would be a death sentence for her.

Glinda is a coward in all the ways that truly matter.

And that's before we even get into Act 2, where the woman is truly just a person shaped by every regret and repressed feeling she's ever had hiding behind a pearly white smile and a dulcet giggle. She's the new puppet on a string, the new plaything for the propaganda machine and she couldn't be happier, couldn't be lovelier.

And when she does see Elphie again, she feels everything. She's so happy to see her alive, she's so mad at her for leaving, she's so defensive because she's ashamed of the part she's played in it all, of being encouraging to the people of Oz.

She hates her role. She hates the people eating up lies about her Elphie. She hates herself for letting her need to be admired and adored, her fear of losing all of that, keep her from the one person she truly ever loved with all her heart.

it's not often, really, it's not, but cyrus has a venomous side to him. everyone knows how passionate he can get - what happens when there is hatred and spite in that passion?

[linskywords]

that connor vid!!

he's not perplexed or overhwelmed at all with the contact wow i am surprised but also im glad like he's comfy with all of that holy moly

Yeah honestly it's sort of jossing my plan to write him (Connor2) as a sub who does only the most utility maintenance scenes because why would he bother with anything else when the only important thing is hockey? But it turns out he's been getting petted by teammates for years. Just sitting on the bus and accepting everyone's love and snuggles. Honestly this is really a better scenario for him.

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

[scribefindegil]

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

we need more divorcebaiting. how strongly can canon imply (without technically outright stating) that these two characters are bitterly, acrimoniously divorced? essential we explore this

[sticksandsharks]

grey wagtail

character from The Wildercourt, the graphic novel I'm very slowly but very persistently working on

[zooophagous]

I didn't ask if it made sense to keep going. I said I'm going to kick your twisted evil ass.
