A humble offering to my best friend @spiltspit of our gamer ghost au 😔🤲🏻💜

Would really love to hear about the angsty marcotobias fic if you're interested in sharing. 👀

Oh gosh, I feel like I'd have to actually write it for it to make sense because like 80% of it is subtext, but here's some rambling in that general direction.

I'm chiefly interested in the ways in which Marco & Tobias are actually incredibly similar -- their senses of humor, their attractions, their complete direspect for authority, and most importantly how they both lowkey hate themselves but insist on survival anyway, largely out of spite -- but how they treat their similarity as, like, a cautionary tale rather than the basis for a healthy connection that it could be.

Like, Tobias disappearing into the woods and giving up on everybody is exactly the kind of behavior that Marco finds incredibly triggering, having lived through it with his dad. Marco would never walk away from his remaining loved ones like that, especially in the post-war world where he's charged himself with being the public face of the Animorphs because somebody has to. But there is absolutely a part of him that wants to give up and disappear; ya boi is tired.

Meanwhile, I think Tobias sees Marco's devotion to Jake and refusal to abandon him even after how Rachel died (which Tobias blames Jake for) as a version of the hero worship complex Tobias used to have about Jake -- like, I think Tobias sees Marco as being too devoted to Jake to see "the truth" about him, and he pities that in Marco. But at the same time, Tobias envies Marco's close personal connections, and I think on some level he knows that the only way to get to that place would be to work through his anger at Jake to get to his anger at Rachel, and he just can't bring himself to do that. It's easier to stay mad.

And then there's the question of Rachel herself, whom they were both deeply invested in trying to keep alive at the end of the war. Like, we see this explicitly from Tobias, with his "just be Rachel" and constant emotional check-ins with her, but I don't think Marco gets enough credit for his active role in keeping her literally alive. Dude bodily removed her from battles, at risk to his own life, and I just refuse to believe that's not something Marco & Tobias talked about, given how much time they spent together in Ax's scoop during that period of time between Marco's fake death & the move to the valley. Rachel is both a mutual love and a mutual failure for them (and that level of mutual devotion to a third person gives my polyamorous ass A Lot of Feelings).

Basically I think there's a lot of respect and love between Tobias and Marco, but they can't get to it because it would require each of them to deal with Rachel-related guilt and confront parts of themselves that they don't want to acknowledge.

...so I want to get them high on Marco's fancy penthouse balcony and make them kiss about it

4:20 am is not a funny time to get a scam text

welcome to: was that a really good deal or a scam?

I think there would be less problems in the world if more people were able to read a newspaper from a country on the opposite side of the Earth from their own. There's just something about reading the daily news from a country so far away and seeing that they have a lot of the same difficulties or celebrations the newspaper at your local corner store will tell you about.

I give up. I have no more fight left in me.

things i realized abt eugene today, which are vaguely terrifying: 'eugene martin' is legally dead, 'eugene sims' technically doesn't exist in any sort of database, and he scrubbed clean his DUP files post-escape, so. he rlly is a ghost in the machine, huh?

Btw what I find kind of ludicrous about the "now its the Russians" argument is that the smokescreened group they're saying it actually is is know for holding really important sites hostage, like I'm talking hospitals full of medical records, hell they were claiming they got access to like 30Mill Microsoft accounts not too long ago (Microsoft denied it). So again makes 0 sense to me cause Ay Oh Three is not remotely that important to be holding hostage in comparison to their other targets....

So, my Amazon account was hacked. The email and password was change so I no longer have access to it. All of my cards were saved on it including my Amazon credit card, which they spent about $1000 on. I tried calling Chase Bank to dispute the charges, but they said since Amazon isn’t a suspicious seller my claim would probably get denied and to dispute them through Amazon instead. However, I cannot dispute it through Amazon because I do not have access to the account. I’ve tried to call many many many times to regain access and to dispute the charges, but every single person I speak to either hangs up on me or just is the exact opposite of helpful. I don’t know what to do anymore and I’m currently crying my eyes out.

one of the highlights of my job is seeing angry replies pop up in my team’s inbox from passive aggressive boomers who don’t understand they’re trying to start shit with an automated notification system

I'm thinking of a number between 3700-000000-00000 and 6011-9999-9999-9999. I'm also thinking of a month and year between November 2022 and October 2027, and another number between 0 and 999 (9999 if the first number is 15 digits long and begins with a 3).

If you guess all three right, you win a prize!
