#and if their memory is triggered

[caramelpenguin]

The guy had been staring at him for a while.

Not in a creepy way. He sat just under the warm golden spill of the café lights, half in shadow, one hand shoved into the pocket of a dark coat, the other curled loosely around a coffee cup he hadn't touched.

Simon should have looked away. But something about the man held him. There was a strange magnetic pull. Like the low hum of a melody he hadn’t heard since his childhood. Like standing on the edge of a dream, chasing the shape of it before it slips away.

He smiled, hesitant. “Do I… know you?”

The guy’s eyes, sad and soft, looked as if it held the secrets of the universe. He blinked slowly, like the question had reopened a raw wound. “No.”

Simon laughed, trying to shake off the odd weight in his chest, the pressure in his ribs. “You look kind of familiar.”

The stranger didn’t answer right away. His voice, when it came, was quiet, like a lost whisper. “I get that a lot.”

Simon nodded, even though it didn’t make sense. He should’ve let it go. Should’ve gone back to his music or his coffee or the essay he’d abandoned on his laptop. But instead, he found himself saying: “Maybe we were friends in a past life.”

The guy flinched.

Simon wanted to ask more, but then the man smiled. Not with joy. More like surrender. He stood and walked out the door without another word.

Simon sat there long after he was gone. For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that he'd just said goodbye to someone he'd loved a thousand times before.

Day 26- Lanayru Mountain

Perhaps dragon song sounds familiar. No matter; it’s time to get to business.

On that note, magnesis is reacquired! Purah’s still working on the other glyphs.

(“We’ll find a cure by the end of this year, I promise.”

“I hope we do, Mimi. I really, really hope we do.”)

((This is a totk au called familiar familiar! Zelda doesn’t go back in time, history is forever changed, and link is beset by ghost memories from his magic arm as per usual.))

I did indeed complete the guy!!!!!

[thatbitchsimone]

im fucking fuming over this i cant even lie like what the actual fuck is this. straight up evil behavior. also good job literally flat out admitting amber was indeed abused by depp since u fully acknowledged that she suffers from ptsd and that the ptsd is directly related/linked to him. literally just proudly telling us that ”yeah i knew he had abused amber and that amber has ptsd from it so i decided that we should try to give her panic attacks and just totally torment her like wouldnt it be so funny to give her flashbacks so she feels like shes being raped again lol she will look so craaazyyy” like honestly kill urself

i really need them to tell us what made daniel suddenly start remembering he met armand at polynesian mary's because it drives me crazy thinking about it.... it was a redacted memory; armand tried to erase himself completely from both the bar and the apartment. daniel starts dreaming about meeting louis after getting the tapes and it always cuts off before armand shows up. until suddenly one night it doesn't, with no obvious trigger, apparently no poking in his mind to knock the walls around the hidden memory down accidentally or otherwise. what made daniel remember? something in the infusion? armand touching him when he covered him with a blanket in his sleep? some other third thing? all of the above??????

*Stan and Ford walking down a dark alleyway when a guy with a knife shows up*

[Stan&Ford] Quick get behind me *they both say in unison*

[Stan] I already lost you once, I'm not doing that again. Get behind me

[Ford] Well, I lost you twice! So you are the one who is going to get behind me

[Guy with a knife] Umm, I'm like trying to rob you guys

[Ford] Can't you see we're busy!

[Stan] Very rude to interrupt

*The guy with a knife takes a swing at them*

*Ford just shots him with a dimension gun and goes back to arguing with Stan*

So if Perceptor is an evil dad in evil Shockdad au, then is he a good dad in evil Bumbleson au?

The opposite doesn't mean good in this case. Perceptor's self-lobotomy instead of removing his emotions and personality instead made it so his emotional state overrode his logical thinking. Shockwave as a sparkling was forced to take care of him in between the shifts were Perceptor was deprived of all emotional stimulants in order to get him to continue his work. Their relationship was technically 'closer' but it was arguably a lot more toxic.

Shockwave was assigned to Perceptor to 'fix' his processor. Thinking if Shockwave gained his knowledge he'd be able to reverse the damage done. He couldn't. When the handle fell off his final orders as Perceptor's charge was to wipe his existance from Perceptor's memory banks.

Odysseus: demanding Athena take off whatever enchantment she put on him the second the situation ends.

Odysseus: who constantly reminds Athena that he has great plans to grow old and die with his wife so don't even think about getting any ideas.

Odysseus: side eye diomedes who has started fucking glowing he has so many enchantments on him: bro you should talk to Athena about getting those removed. You're going to end up immortal or some shit

Diomedes: who has been a solider since he was 5 who has intersting thoughts about his own personhood who has a much more traditional relationship with Athena and would rather literally stab his own eye out with a rusted sword than speak out of turn: I don't know what you're talking about

One thing that did strike me in 5.3 was how, when the group was sharing that they'd recently dreamed about the relatives or friends they'd lost- Kinich doesn't say anything.

And everyone who has read his character story knows why he wouldn't.

He can't talk about his father chasing him down in a drunken rage, only to fall to the bottom of a ravine.

He can't talk about the way rope burned the skin of his hands raw as he, a boy, pulled his father's corpse back up the cliff.

He can't talk about the way its 'almost' implied he subconsciously rejected receiving an Anemo vision because he hated the freedom that came with his father's death. Because solitude felt lonelier and more painful than being beaten.

He can't talk about his stiff relationship with mora and everything that comes with it because he knows what it's like to scrape by, alone, living off the land.

So Kinich doesn't say anything at all.

a next to normal au for the morningstar family would go so hard

bear with me a moment i need to get this out of my system

isla/diana: setting aside the fact that i think caissie levy could actually play isla for real and absolutely KILL it. diana quite literally gets her brain wrecked in an attempt to remove memories that her husband thinks are bad for her in this musical so. yknow. the parallel writes itself.

icarus/gabe: icarus morningstar you deserve to haunt the narrative and also be so, so angry at your dad. i've been thinking so much about the timeline icarixis made where no one remembers them includes them dying/disappearing at a very young age. and how gabe is kind of a shithead to natalie but also loves her in his own way. and that he spends a large chunk of the show screaming for his dad to finally look at him. and the very first "catch me, i'm falling" bit. and the entirety of i am the one (reprise) being an icarus and fable number. and the juxtaposition of "i'm your wish, your dream come true, and i am your darkest nightmare, too" for how different people are reacting to them returning. i just. gah. icarus morningstar and gabe goodman you are shaking hands

rae/natalie: hellooooooooooo neglected perfectionist second child who has developed some nuclear-grade bad coping mechanisms, how are YOU doing today? superboy and the invisible girl IS a baby rae song i will be taking no criticisms. also let's be real out of all of the bad coping mechanisms rae has canonically tried i don't think xanax cracks the top five worst

fable/dan: this father is trying to fix everything and doing it All wrong. crazy how convincing your wife to go through with electroshock therapy to get rid of memories you don't want to face didn't go well, huh? also on a nicer note, the line "can you tell me what it is you're afraid of? and can you tell me why i'm afraid it's me?" is so compelling as a fable line. and back to being mean, ha, your wife leaves you at the end of this. sucker.

caspian/henry: simping hardcore for rae. and also a stoner. this one's not as deep but i mean. if the shoe fits

i have absolutely no thoughts for dr. fine but there's a loose argument for dr. madden to be either soraza (memory energy) or find a spot for enderian through him. no au is perfect this is where this one stumbles /silly

anyway i've had jack wolfe's "i'm alive" on loop for a week and i have an entire animatic for "make up your mind/catch me i'm falling" sitting in my brain. you can watch this whole musical for free on pbs right now if you're american and i'm on my knees begging you to do so, have a nice night
