oh okay heres one:
"sleepaway camp"= you go there for at least a few days, a week, sometimes several weeks, and sleep there, as opposed to a """camp""" where you go for the day and your parents or whoever picks you up afterward (those arent really camps, but like. idk when i went to "space camp" it was a weeklong but not sleepaway). in the U.S. at least, the typical image of a sleepaway camp involves staying in cabins, dunno how common it is/what it looks like in other countries.
for the first few i just mean like. not necessarily a stealth church camp, just like. idk, a camp where theres also an Assumption Of Christianity and just general vibes without being actually church camp. So, there might not be daily services and jesusy dedicatwd activities, but maybe theres still a prayer said over meals and shit. Which i assume might exist...
(oh and @reblogforsamplesize if u wanna)

A Sibling Sacrifice
The JL were having a normal, for them at least, meeting when suddenly a portal rips opens and spits out a young teen with snow white hair and glowing green eyes and he's carrying a bundle as he's stumbles out and lands on his knees in the meeting room.
The two main odd things about this kid was floating above the kid's head was a crown made of stars, ice, and the colors shifting like a aurora borealis and the bundle in his arms was strangely made of stars somehow, almost like a blanket of galaxies plucked out of the cosmos.
Before anyone of them could say or do anything, the kid turns around and screams towards the portal as he scrambles for it.
"JAZZ NO DON'T DO THIS! I CAN STILL FIGHT THEM! NONONONO!" but before he could reach the portal it snaps close.
The kid lands again onto the floor when he doesn't reach it in time, pleading for the damn thing to open again, and the bundle in his arms begins to cry from the jolting and noise.
The baby crying was the only thing that stopped the kid from pleading and instead focused his attention on the bundle in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm so damn sorry Ellie. I should had gotten us out of there sooner, I should had saved you bef- I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything..."
Those were the rushed, raw words the kid said down to the bundle. The kid curled inwards a bit, to both shield the baby, who was calming down somewhat into tiny cry hiccups, and for himself.
Those with advanced hearing could tell the kid was still whispering apologizes under his breath as he held the baby close.
"I'm sorry everyone, I'm so sorry. I tried, I tried so hard to save everyone but in the end... I'm sorry- everyone's gone... I'm sorry."

Okay but Tommy drops out of high school — he told his father he was gay and he told him he could either be homeless or go to military school. He goes to military school and joins the army and he likes flying the helicopters because it means he doesn’t have to do any of the killing himself. And he makes some friends.
There's one guy who's like the squad leader who's a few years old and built like a Greek god and Tommy's young and a little bit in love. And they're friends maybe even family because this whole group of people spend every waking (and sleeping) moment together. And they all talk like a family and they all say they love each other and tease each other and it's nice. And one night it's just the two of them trading a flask of some sort of alcohol that Tommy doesn't know the name of and the man asks Tommy why he joined the army and where he wants to be in five years and Tommy trusts this man. He's half way in love with him so he doesn't even think twice before he tells the story about the time he came out to his family and his father nearly beat him to death before sending him here. And the conversation tapers off after that and he doesn’t register the change in the air but when he wakes up the next morning he’s being dishonourably discharged because he poses “unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability”. He knows what that means.
Tommy joins the fire department because he doesn’t know what else to do. He represses anything regarding his sexuality because he knows now that it’s wrong. He almost feels like he has a family again because his captain seems to like him and some of the guys are cool even if they say things he doesn’t agree with. And then he starts agreeing because maybe they’re right and he’s wrong and he’s just inherently wrong. So he follows their leads and is just straight racist because that’s how he can fit in.
And then a black lesbian woman joins and says she’s a black lesbian woman and Tommy doesn’t understand that either because you can’t be queer you just can’t be because it’s wrong.
But he nearly dies and and an Asian man saves his life and a black lesbian woman comes up with a better idea than any of them had and she tells them she’s no different and she is just as capable. So he improves himself he does and he tries to be better but he still can’t be who he is because the last 2 times he was honest about that he was betrayed.
Tommy leaves the 118 and “don’t ask, don’t tell” is lifted and he meets this guy he likes who likes him back and the 217 don’t seem to have a problem with the gender neutral pronouns and he slowly but surely lets himself open up again and be who he is and when the thing with that guy doesn’t work out because he’s moving to New York and Tommy’s not sure he’s ready to leave, it’s okay because his crew is there and they support him and he can still be himself.

song about something you'll never be forgiven for.
beepbox link here, and a singalong under the read more :''-)
starting point
"…so don't look back"
i took your hand and led you astray
into the light i fear i might have made
a fatal mistake
walk in a straight line
walk in a straight line
i couldn't ask
i only hope that sinners are saved
but in all honesty, my honor keeps me
somewhat afraid
walk in a straight line
don't dare look behind
♫♫♫
i had a dream
we tried to reach the finishing line
but in the silence still the time we killed
had come back to life
walk in a straight line
walk in a straight line
the signs had merged
into a single "end of the world"
where every undead thing was damned to sing
"esrever ni gnos a"
walk in a straight line
…tell me that you're fine
♫♫♫
walk in a straight line (walk in a straight line)
don't dare look behind (don't dare look behind)
tell me that you're fine (something that had died)
you're still breathing right? (are you satisfied?)
walk between the lines (how to save a life)
don't dare look behind (change the ending line)
reach the end this time (tell a little lie)
bring me back to life…
♫♫♫
if i'd look back
and held the hands that led me astray
into the light i'd proudly cry
"this is my final mistake"
walk with me this time
walk with me this time
i should have asked
i know the answer's somewhat cliché
but was it worth the price and worth the pain?
you're fading away—
walk with me this time
bring me back to life…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if i'd look back…
if you'd look--

Jace was totally a Hudol kid right?
He failed wizardry 101 three years in a row, he probably hooked up with your crush, he was voted most likely to be arrested on account of all the pranks he pulled around campus. He smokes cigarettes in the parking lot. He’s at the top of his sorcery classes and his name is on everyone’s lips, he’s Jace Stardiamond and if you don’t know him, then maybe you’re just not cool enough to.
By the time he’s a junior, everyone has an idea of who he is but when he’s alone with himself, he has a hard time deciding if he knows who he is. Every moment of his life he’s been told the whos, whats and whys and he feels trapped inside of the labels and high standards so he takes comfort in the unknown.
For once he finally feels in tune with his magic. He doesn’t need to know where it comes from when it comes to him as easy as breathing. He still has such a keen eye for it, though. He approaches sorcery with such a precision and resolve that leaves people in awe of him, the attention doesn’t hurt either.
He always admired that quality in the wizards surrounding him, there’s no reason he can’t borrow that kind of self discipline for himself if it leads to better self discovery.
Still, he can’t take the way his old wizardry textbooks mock him from where they live on his bookshelf. He finds a home for them far at the top of his closet and doesn’t look back.
-
Is2g the way he told Adaine he couldn’t take a level of wizard, “I tried.” And then him saying he always thought wizards were a bit stinky has haunted me since the finale aired. That man has a deep vendetta associated with wizardry, you just know it. That shit haunts him.

(for a proper idea of my emotions, please picture this said while crying happy tears)
after who knows how long waiting for a new reincarnation to appear, taking the time to let cult dipper settle in and calm down, bills hard work and dedication to manipulation finally paid off! he gets to finally cuddle and sleep with his husband again!
You know Bill's mentally giving himself a pat on the back and congratulations for his own cleverness. Getting this flighty little traumatized guy to hold still for a hug has been a whole ordeal; it's about time it paid off!

Some more thoughts on Gil Galad, son of no one (or, my particular interpretation of this post I made a few days ago)
First, if maia are manifestations of a Concept willed into sentient being by Eru, theoretically if a concept emerged later, and enough people believed in it, could it also come into being? (Eru probably helps, but still.)
So darling Gil Galad is the Idea of the High King of the Noldor in the East, and is technically a maia- But because The High King of the Noldor in the East should by all accounts be an elf and he's at least partially created from the thoughts of elves... things get a bit weird.
Gil Galad wakes up on a beach with no knowledge of who he is or where he's come from other than that he's supposed to Become The High King. Hell, he just assumes he's an elf because he looks like one, since he doesn't have the context to know that he's experiencing the world in a fundamentally different way.
(His eyes blink open. That’s exciting! Gil Galad hadn’t known he had eyes.)
He knows everything he could possibly know about politics and strategy, and gets flashes of memory and insight based on the lives of the past high kings- ("Nooooo Gil Galad, don't ride up to the gates of Angband and challenge Morgoth you're too sexy aha-") but that doesn't mean he knows how to be A Person.
So we've got a Gil Galad who's one part maia, one part pooled knowledge from all the High Kings, and one part all the remaining Noldor's Peter Pan wishes for a high king who won't charge ahead in battle or challenge a dark god to single combat or disappear into a hidden city or-
Oh that's also why, in this universe, when Sauron kills Gil Galad there is no High King of the Noldor in the East after him, since the very Idea of it is dead.

i firmly believe benson's killing was motivated by his own suicidal end goal but that also makes me wonder how the day would've ended if randy hadn't called the cops. benson absolutely didn't know the answer to this either. but i think especially with his explosive anger and self disgust after his run-in with shepherd he still wouldn't have ended the day alive

if i can be petty in your askbox? that lil video of konig manspreading just made me gag. you know that man already smells like a roll of coins on a good day, but his ball smell wafting out? no wonder the dude covers his fucking nose -391780
Look I'm the LAST person to discourage pettiness in this chili's. This is a petty welcome zone.
I will, however, make it worse 'cause like. Man's also got post-mission smell which has to be appalling. Being in an enclosed space after that just feels. Not Ideal at most polite. Walk my happy ass back to base at worst. Keep a bottle of febreze and spray him liberally before letting him on at funniest.
