My main beef with Jod is that he gave the Lyctors the coolest sounding names but he's just. John Gaius. Like if you're gonna make yourself God please commit to the bit and do it with style

smth that as far as im aware is a fic-only trope that i really wanna see used in original fiction is the time travel fix it. like, it's very popular cuz fix its are very popular, but it's also that specific trope ive never seen a term for where you take a guy who is So Fucked Up and you put them in A Significantly Better Situation and then you let them implode about it. that doubled edged sword kind of catharsis. you're safe now! because nothing bad has happened! yet!

anyway i want a story where we start from that moment and we never actually see the original timeline. we have to learn about the exact nature of the horror by seeing what our guy flinches at. no flashbacks no exposition nightmares, just cryptic narrative asides and deeply concerning behaviours. we get the full picture only when they explain it to another character, and maybe they don't ever do that

or. what if there's two of them. story that is half about preventing the horrors you lived through and half about finding the only other person who still remembers them. this is a classic fic trope, i am aware. it is classic for a reason

Something that Jason gave me in my own healing journey (and he has been an absolute corner stone of that for a while now) is the realization that I have a voice. That I can SAY things that I believe without worrying about being palatable, that I can TALK about what happened to me without a thousand different justifications or caveats for my abusers, that I don't have to be a silent, good victim. That I can say, fuck you, what happened to me was not okay and I don't fucking care if you liked me better when I was silent and spoke politely about how you fucking murdered me. That I can say, I don't fucking care if you don't want to talk about politics, the person you voted for is purposefully trying to kill us. I have a voice.

(*all these links and more now in this rentry page. will no longer be updating this post, instead refer to the rentry page)

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth
