Thinking about the time my 6th grade English teacher assigned us this large blank book with the task of filling it with stories. Most people put a picture on one page and a short poem with large font on the other and repeated this spread method until the book was full.

Not me.

I printed out a multi-thousand word Steven Universe fan fiction I wrote and glued it into the book. Complete with shitty drawings too.

The teacher had no idea it wasn’t a totally original work.

I got a 100 on that project.

I got an award at awards day for it too.

Imagine you're in middle school band class and your teacher asks you and your classmates if anyone wants to use their mp3 player to play a song before class ends. no one does anything until this small quiet girl from percussion takes her ipod out to play a song.

Then the song Chop Suey! By System Of A Down and the girl looks like this;

Because she thought it was a good song to play.

I don’t like minimizing the importance and gravity of Laios and Toshiro’s fight into just being a childish squabble, even if to a degree it is framed that way, because to both of them it has a lot of personal significance and emotional weight and runs very deep to their characters… The fight isn’t nothing it’s a LOT, they made up but it’s not something easy to express and to get over for either of them which makes it all the more meaningful! I’m on both sides but there very much are sides, there’s no "they’re both having a ball, Toshiro and Laios hand in hand yay" side to the fight, that comes after

The fight with Toshiro WAS very scary to Laios, almost existentially so, but it’s moreso the "I thought I’d made a friend!!" bit and my god. My god actually

Like it’s not "just" about oh his friend liking him less than he thought, THAT IS SO MUCH. It’s a bond he thought he had being a lie it’s all the time and moments spent together either being a lie from his perspective or marred now looking back. It’s not only being upset at Toshiro for lying but upset at himself that he’s so easy to fool, it’s being upset that there’s something so wrong with you that you can’t even tell if your "close buddy" even actually likes you or not, it’s like. Holding my head. He can’t trust his own vision of events that happened do you see. There’s always this film of distrust that it could be a lie that should be there when he interacts with people there’s always this sense of cloak and dagger to expect backstabs out of nowhere because you CAN’T see it coming you CAN’T you CAN’T there’s something about you which makes it impossible so you CAN’T-

He’s so scared of not being able to read people. He knows it’s a weak spot he has, he’s always known. All of these bits are centered around social expectations and betrayals, the assumption that he doesn’t belong either in society or with other humans.

And Laios’ level of awareness is actually sort of complex to analyze, but it’s there, there’s how out of him and Falin he was the one sensitive to the ~aura of hatred~ he felt from the townspeople, there’s of course his nightmares whispering to him about the mocking looks, and how yeah actually he realizes that his gold stripper coworker was taking advantage of him. There’s of course the Winged Lion speech about his trauma and how he fundamentally mistrusts/dislikes humans to some deep seated degree, this distrust that he still keeps under control always. There’s how pre-canon he often wanted to suggest eating monsters but never worked up the courage to bring it up with the others. There’s how he comes across as stoic when he isn’t being enthusiastic…… We don’t know how aware and wary he is exactly in the moment but we do know he has some anxiety around social stuff, and looking back he does notice and aughh augh, the sense you have to hide yourself to not get hurt, and be on your guard and shit and.

When you don’t know what to look out for and when to look out for it, the general ‘common sense’ of not always trusting people or noticing when someone’s messing with you becomes hypervigilance in social settings

"Man they really know what you hate huh." Being socially unaware literally plagues him, he knows, he knows it so well.

It’s so quick that it’s almost hard to digest how literal and blatant Laios summoning his monster to crush all the people who’ve hurt him is. His literal go-to coping mechanism for comfort in his literal monster-induced emotionally intense nightmare, saving him by taking away the upsetting element (the humans)

"Monsters are his coping fantasy, where they can whisk him away from humanity, all the hurt it’s caused him and its arbitrary rules" with the subtlety of a brick. Monsters are his comfort safe zone "because they kill humans" yes but no it’s because he pits them as the guardians against humans who to him are in the role of the agressors. To him they represent freedom from the shackles of what it means to be part of humanity, a fundamentally social species

Hi, didn’t have any motivation to post the past week :P

Here’s an edit I made of Rachel!!

song: forever by alex g 🫶

here's these fuckers that i will FINALLY post <- trying to not remember all those asks i just had

these people are from the Smile Corporation which is a rival team in the mindscape lore (basically being enemies with the mindscape team which is composed by fenantrene and the fallen gods and their workers), also where partytime willow belongs

mr. glee (left) is the founder of the corporation. he's an offputting man with weird views, promoting happiness to everyone - oftentimes by forcing it with substances - so people can work better

dr. welcome (right) is the co-founder, head of security and a really mediocre doctor of the corporation. the medicines he prescribes often contain these same substances that make a person feel happier and more stimulated, even if he doesn't state that. these substances are forced upon the corporation's workers except for himself

Toby would get a tooth knocked out, make eye contact with the opposite team and spit it out, no flinching or anything and it would definitely make them squirm:>

ok so I just pictured this in my mind’s eye and got heart palpitations

Sometimes, I remember that my first soirée into writing was writing a real person fanfic about myself and this kid in my class I had a crush on, and I wilt a little on the inside.
