So normal about Jon being like I don’t remember what you looked like but the man who let you die is going to suffer for what he did to you. If only Sasha coulda seen that.

So normal about Jon being like you died hating me and wanting me dead but I’m still gonna make sure this man knows I’m ending him in your name. Sure wish Tim coulda seen that.

So normal about the fact that everyone believed Jon was losing his humanity but no one got to see the ways his love and compassion for the people he lost or who hurt him drove him to that final moment.

So normal about the fact that even after everything Jonah’s done to Jon, the only person he never thinks to get justice for is himself.

received a comment today that someone was unhappy with the new covers of the soc (dregs edition) duology because kanej (predominantly featured on said covers) is ‘toxic’ and ‘underwhelming’.

calling kanej 'toxic' when kaz vehemently denies ownership over inej, liquidates all of his assets to pay off her indenture, begins to work on removing his armor and letting down his walls around her, buys her a ship so she can pursue her dream, and reunites her with her parents - i have to laugh.

and if i had to guess, the ‘underwhelming’ would reference the fact that kaz and inej do not have a physically intimate relationship that lives up to whatever expectations this person has for two incredibly traumatized teenagers.

all this to say, don’t speak on kanej if you don’t understand or respect their characters (disrespectfully)

Libraries are fantastic, but you have to understand: there is a tradeoff, which is: you don’t get to hang onto materials indefinitely.

You can’t yell at us because you’ve decided to use a library music score for 3 months and you have to at least bring it to the library before checking it out again. You can’t yell at us if you can’t renew it because someone else placed a hold so they can use it too. Don’t get snippy if you signed an agreement saying you understand you get this laptop for 4 weeks and then you have to return it.

Yes, libraries are fantastic, but things have to be accessible to everyone, not just  you.

Thinking about Jotaro as a PhD candidate… what classes did he TA? What did his students think of him? How many students did he mentor in lab… did he hate writing? Who was on his committee? Much to imagine…

A recent fic I read had Dick Grayson say "everything happens to me" twice and I've unironically adopted that as my catchphrase

See how Juliet steps back when she realizes she’s not Jack’s first choice? Very demure, very mindful. See how she doesn’t blame Kate for it and continues being a girl’s girl? Very cutesy, very demure.

What are your thoughts on when Mari first started to regress around the others. Like did she start doing it slowly and the others just started to pick up on it. Or was she too ashamed and embarrassed by being seen as weird for regressing (even though she’s taken care of some of the other littles before this so she knows that’s not true) and one of the others found her one day regressed alone in her room.

So my personal headcanon for all of them is that elements of regression stuff have been part of them all along- like maybe they've had periods where theyve pushed down more firmly the urge to linger looking at the shelf of toys in the grocery store or where theyve told themselves they really DO want to go and get smashed after a bad day and not just cry in a corner or where theyve genuinly made themselves think that they honestly definitely dont enjoy this or that cartoon or where they convince themselves that while they might have cried easily in the past, they're matured past that now- but its been kind of under the surface.

I feel like tendencies to act younger, respond younger and enjoy younger things just rise to the surface more when things are hard: in the crash universe, obviously the crash means that things hard pretty much all the time post rescue bc theyre traumatised so theyre regressing more but even in a non crash universe, when things are hard, they find themseves reacting younger and allowing themselves to act younger helps them cope.

All that to say, in Maris case, I feel like she was someone who, say, kept her barbies for longer than her peers did and hated forcing herself to get rid of them, bc even having them felt too embarassing; she never really liked the dark (but she could deal with it), she made herself stop sucking her thumb ever once she got to an age where it was definitely not a thing no one else did, she cried more easily than she'd like when things got scary or stressful so she learnt to deflect into anger bc that was more acceptable.

And the others sort of picked up on stuff, like even if Mar SAYS shes not scared of the dark, shes holding Akilahs hand really tight during the powercut, for example. Or like yeah shes having a fight with Shauna and calling her a bitch but she's also going to go cry under her duvet later.

And everyone sort of gradually had their own little things that become more pronounced: like Nat smokes and bites her nails and that becomes chewing her hoodie sleeves and that becomes having her fingers or thumb in her mouth a lot; Jackie has a cute pink bedroom aesthetic and that becomes having stuffed animals and that becomes getting really upset if one of them is lost; Tai sleepwalks and hates it and that becomes fighting sleep even when shes tired and that becomes sobbing hysterically and calling for Van when she wakes up in the hallway; Shauna can be a little combative which becomes being a LOT combative which becomes starting fights but also crying in Tai's lap afterwards.

And for Mari, shes kind of hiding stuff the way she always did but the way she hides it becomes MORE childlike. Like an adult sleeping with the light on is not exactly usual but if you mentioned it, their reaction would be '....Yeah? So what Im sleeping with a light on- its my room and my house?' or even just 'Yeah.'

Because when you're ACTUALLY indesputably an adult, you can just do whatever, like CS Lewis talking about how in adulthood, he put away childish things 'including the fear of being seen as childish' (or like how when you're a kid, you might refuse to do x or y bc its for babies even if you think its fun but as an adult its like 'I will go to work like an adult and then use my paycheck to go to the circus or to see a disney movie or buy a stuffed animal!) But when Shauna points out shes sleeping with a light, Mari isn;t all 'Yeah im sleeping with a light, i dont like it being totally dark', it's a flat denial that she doesnt need a light, shes not a baby!!! Or an adult chewing on their thumb might be weird but the more normal reaction is like 'Yeah its a weird stim' whereas Mari is like 'Nooo I'm not sucking my thumb, I'm not a baby!!'

And adults dont whine or cry when stuff like that is pointed out bc its ALSO not very adult to draw attention to stuff like that. Like the MOST childish thing you can possibly do is make fun of someone for being childish (which is also why Mari herself makes fun of Mel for being a baby).

TLDR: Anyway, all that to say, it's gradual for Mari.
