making posts about trans issues and the trans experience on this website is like walking in a minefield and some of the mines are the result of TERFs and some of the mines are the result of other trans people who quite simply have no reading comprehension istg

would you guys believe me if I said I am stuck in an airport for the next 2.5 hours and have nothing better to do than finish the 2al update and post it. lmao

oh yeah hey btw, yesterday was a fever dream right? right. mhm. cass paying someone to shove the 2al name in a sickass animation that has got to be a fever dream. that was not real that was a dream. that was so not real. how could I ever imagine such a thing ever. thats silly. that did not happen and never will mhm.

if were bringing up other povs, id kill to know what kab is thinking these past few chapters. i love clownzy but your inclusion of kab and the way she nestles into their dynamic is so so so fascinating — shes clown little sister and branzy coming into their life both makes her question herself/her judgement and literally throws off her entire dynamic with her older brother in one swell swoop... and then as the time goes and branzy deteriorates shes just stuck watching the trainwreck ger brother caused

this ask inspired me to write a little kab and clown thing following the events of chapter 18. this is really all i can share and it does contain slight spoilers but might as well share

as for the homestuck arc i really wanna write something from rek and kabs perspective. because theyre both running themselves to the ground trying to keep branzy sane and because they don't know about the pollen, they likely get increasingly frustrated when he just keeps getting worse.

kabs the one who stays with branzy the most. and she's pretty vigilant about it. i don't remember if ive given her a canon age but she's 18 in my head. and branzy is in a mental state where he needs to be monitored, pretty much. she definitely shouldn't be the one to do that. neither should rek.

side ramble here is that i really like the group dynamics and how you can see it in their upbringings. clown grew up wealthy and comfortable, so he's powerful, confident, and self assured. branzy grew up in a messy family where he was sort of the black sheep. plus his aunt, someone he liked more than his parents, was arrested because of his mom - he has mommy issues btw branzys specific insanity can only come from mommy issues - ahem - anyway. it wouldn't be far fetched to assume that branzy's upbringing, unstable and lonely as it was, has probably played a big part in how attached he is to clown. if that makes sense.

and the way kab fits into this is. clown saved her. low-key. high key. clown gave her a pseudo family. he's helped her away from a bad household. yeah she thinks he's stupid and lame but he's still her older brother. if he had never let her into his life, she would be so much worse off. and she knows that.

she was also young when they met. just a little kid. so she's basically just. very attached. she's learned a lot from him.

so we've got branzy, kab, and clown, neither of whom ever learned things like boundaries or that being vulnerable is OK sometimes. or how to express love in a healthy way. just a mixed bag. and this is funny to me because this is the shit rek has to deal with

BUT ANYWAY. back to the point. which is. she's tragically young and her beloved brother is literally mentally breaking down someone he loves - someone she cares about too. and she's the one who has to pick up the pieces when clown goes to work. she's sad and angry and frustrated. but there isn't a lot she can do. sure she can try and push branzy away from clown but clown's got branzy eating from his hand. that's the tragedy of it, really. the helplessness.

anyway sorry for the ramble i do not even think this answered your ask😭😭

[nonsensefunsense]

I dont know why but I keep forgetting what a tragedy BBC merlin is as a show like I'm not used to shows ending as a tragedy I'm sorry and I only remembered it rt now cuz of a fanfic

I think it's just the optimist in me or because I ignore my life problems by obsessing over shows so I can't help but NEED a happy ending but shit everything in this show is so dam depressing and here I am clinging to the words of a basement lizard that arthur will return again when for all I know he could have lied so that merlin wouldnt kill himself and YET I needed those words cuz if the show just ended with him dying I would not be able to recover from it but I need the hope so in a way for once basement lizard was actually helpful

All this to say merlin was a masterpiece but I still need a season 6 regardless like I NEED TO KNOW HE COMES BACK

[renegade-skywalker]

hate it when the intrusive thoughts tell me to search other more popular fics in my niche only to make me inevitably feel like shit forever 🙃

[jdmara]

actor fixation makes you so stupid like what do you mean you’re frothing at the mouth over a movie that doesn’t even have a release date yet and will probably be bad

going through an Eddie Munson phase in 2025 is a humiliation ritual

[talonsin]

writing with brain fog is such an interesting experience and by interesting I mean difficult as fuck

[thecelticpyro]

Needed comfort, so I got in my favorite hoodie, made some ramen, and put on some Markiplier.

I have been reminded of the consequences for watching funny videos while eating.

[transmaskedfag]

Note to self: you are trans. And you will survive while being trans. There is so much pain yet there is so much love.
