thinking about the scene in book!tbosas where teslee (district three female) was being attacked by the horrifying snakes and she nonverbally pleaded with mizzen (district four male) for help. and he only shook his head, not moving to help her - but the book specifically stated that this was more out of stunned fear/horror than any kind of menace or glee at teslee's imminent death.
and he wasn't even from her district too. they were not in an alliance. she literally had no reason to expect any assistance from him, but district divisions & sectionalism didn't matter when she was scared and in pain. none of these divisions of districts one, two, three, four, five through twelve matter!!! not when children are suffering and dying as penance for a just war that ended several years ago! it's as if the narrative is trying to tell you there is no difference between a suffering/dying child from one district or another.

Feminism has failed because I’m not living my dream hobbit woman life of cooking delicious homemade meals all the time with a gorgeous little garden and lots of sunshine and fresh air.
Lots of books for a rainy day.

I finally snapped and started to write the essay explaining the narrative details fandom fundamentally fails to grasp about the Port Mafia, Dazai and Akutagawa's relationship, and salvation; but then Tumblr's post editor crashed and ate the draft as I was typing.
This is because I am beloved by the universe, which understands that I am relentless by nature and sometimes too idealistic to register futility until after my efforts have ravaged me, and so it intervenes to coax me towards meaningful outlets for my immense capacity for perspective, wisdom, and tenacity.

I'm not normally one to do anything more than lurk on social media. But 2 days ago I got properly introduced to omegaverse content after being to intimidated for a while, yesterday I discovered Let Me Try, and now I am tearing through LINK content like a rabid dog.
So uh
Thanks?
I still wanted to ask some questions if thats okay.
What are canon ages of the boys at the time of Close your Eyes and Lock Me In?
Do you have an idea of a time gap between those two stories? They seem to be the main points of reference of the timeline
Hello! Yayy, LINK's caught another one!! You're very welcomee heheh<3
Like all the other specifics for the stories, their ages / locations / accents etc. are a bit vague on purpose. I like to leave the room for everyone’s own imagination based on what they’re familiar with. It makes things a bit fuzzy for the timeline sometimes, but I just prefer having the blurred reality instead of basing it on real places and tracking a firm timeline.
But generally, I eyeball the gap between CYE and LMT to be maybe a couple of years.
The later on in the timeline we get with the newer published parts, I’ve been thinking that Kizzy, as the oldest of the four, are now getting closer to the mid-twenties mark and maybe over.
The age order is: Isac as the oldest (by two critical weeks🤺), then Kit, Liam’s a year younger, and then Nathan. -> Nat’s age difference to the others & the gap between the stories could technically vary +/- an extra year or so, depending on whatever length of uni you’d want to imagine.
So basically, the canon is vague and they are all twenty-ish something in CYE and LMT xx

Love being a total nerd in my field of expertise. I didn't experience this level of devotion + dedication to a trade earlier when I was in (corporate and governmental) writing (- in contrast to academic writing, though - of course I went full Einstein there, analytical-inclined as I am).
UX design is so much to sink my teeth in, but so so rewarding. Hell yes. It's a bit of a long and winding road, and for now the week comes with many frustrating hours, but I finally feel at home in a craft.

it just occurred to me that xander will probably inherit halway comics. i never really thought deeply into his future career ever but it makes a lot of sense to me. moffy will take over hale co, luna becomes ceo of fizzle, xander will run halway comics, and kinney….its honestly early days in terms of her characterization so we don’t know that much about her yet besides she likes vlogging and fashion. i never imagined rose giving it up but honestly maybe she would pass on calloway couture to kinney because none of her own kids are /that/ fashion inclined (or really as business minded as the hale kids seem to be so far) and rose has always been a huge role model and inspiration to kinney. if this does end up happening the hales will go from already being the most successful and employed family to being even richer and more successful. they are so slay like that. and also in this perfect world i have dreamed up i think they should all 4 have equal stock in / power over superheroes and scones because that place is just so family 💙

The new bts photos from Race Service reminded me of these photos. It was clear they were filming something but the final product never made the light of day? I may be way off, it feels like a lot of the projects that we saw Daniel being involved in at the beginning of the year (including that tiny clip of him, Scotty and Blake recording that podcast) was just CAA’s way of testing the water and creating new media opportunities for him in case he never got back to racing?

I just think it’s basic courtesy when traveling outside your home country (or anywhere with different primary language) to try to learn whatever basic phrases you can beforehand (please, thank you, where is ___, left and right, and ‘do you speak *insert your home language here*’)
