I think Childe's main problem is how he can only hold a singular thought in his head at any given moment.

That thought isn't even always "brawl", sometimes it's a good thought.

(e.g. he analyses political conflicts pretty well)

But there's still only one.

He thinks there’s a sort of peace to the way they rest together, in the utter silence of the afternoon, curled up on the couch as the end credits to Jurassic Park quietly play in the background.

She’s right by his side, legs over his lap and forehead warm against the skin on his neck. It seems like such an uncomfortable position, but it’s the only way she’ll rest, she has to be completely and totally surrounded by him.

His arm is draped behind her, thumb rubbing gentle circles against her leg. Cause that’s how they say ‘I’m here and I’ve got you’. Never in words, but only ever in the way they hold one another.

She nuzzles like a little puppy against him, fingers grasping onto his shirt. He remembers when Sarah used to do that, when she was a baby. Tiny hands gripping onto him for dear life, begging him for warmth and protection. Ellie does it to, and it makes his heart ache in such a confusing way.

He always makes sure to kiss her head, probably to much if he really admits it, but feeling her hair beneath his lips, and inhaling the smell of Ellie is enough to make him close his eyes.

He wants to stay awake, wants to dwell in the present, in the fact that this is where they live now. No more running, fighting, just Joel and Ellie asleep on a couch, tangled limbs and mingled breaths as they finally, finally rest.

And he does.

He rests with his head against the back of the couch, and his feet propped up on the coffee table, with his babygirl alive and warm beside him.

And then he breathes. For the first time in twenty years, his lungs inhale sweet sweet oxygen, and his mind quiets until the only thing he can register is the up and down motion of the little girls chest against his own.

This is where he belongs, he thinks. Just him and Ellie, napping on a couch.

i could love him. i could.

Snippet Sunday

If you were wondering whether 6b fic would include my favourite trope, this snippet probably answers that question 😅

And its a nice longer one to make up for the lack of one last week.

“Nope, just wanted to check if Buck said anything about sending someone else to pick up Christopher Diaz?” the nurse queried, nodding towards Bobby. 

“Oh,” Moira exclaimed, glancing down at Chris apologetically. “Yes, he called me back just before Principal Sanders asked to speak with me. I’m so sorry, I didn’t think we would take so long.” She turned to Bobby, giving him a quick once over. “What was your name?” 

Bobby started, too distracted by the influx of new information to answer immediately. 

“Bobby Nash.” 

Moira smiled at him, looking more friendly. “Yeah, Buck gave permission for you to get Christopher, that’s all fine. Laura, can you grab the sign-out sheet?” 

Buck gave him permission? He was almost certain that nominating a pick-up person would be a privilege extended only to parents, not family friends. 

The first woman, Laura, started to click through a tablet that was sitting next to her computer. “Uh, do I write that you spoke with Buck here?” she asked Moira, showing her the tablet.

“Just write that stepdad nominated Grandpa for pickup, that’s fine,” Moira advised easily, smiling warmly at them.  

Bobby took the tablet Laura offered him on autopilot, his mind completely stuck on stepdad and grandpa. Seeing it written out in black and white on the screen did not help his bewilderment.

My toxic trait is I’ll see a kind of writing that I don’t want to do, but I’ll still think “if I did write one of those it would be way better than this”

[nich0las-foster]

yes you do. every single action you have taken up to this point will lead to him detesting you. you want him to hate you as much as you hate yourself. you want everyone to want you dead as much as you want yourself dead. you’re an open fucking book, and i’m the only person who cares enough to skim your pages.

He doesn’t have to know that. Nobody else has to know that.

as time goes on i see so much more positive mindset in the world. it feels like the world is growing out of its edgy phase, like all the 2010s dark humor is washing down the river. it feels like we as a people are healing. and if that healing is in the form of vine booms and random sound effects, i will take that over the suicidal jokes that stopped being jokes after a while.

idk stop saying “kms” or “i want to die” or any of that. it’s funny when it’s funny but when that is your immediate thought when something happens, stop and take a minute. think about why you keep saying that and really let yourself breath for a moment.

surround yourself with good things. and that includes your thought processes.

the urge I have. to... just call out and lay back down is insane actually

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).

Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.
