your tags made me laugh "unfortunately he cannot stop talking". this is so true. he wants so badly for his relationship with Phil to be ambiguous but he makes it so obvious what's going on bc he just never shuts up about it. I think it's funny that Phil said Dan crushes on mysterious bad boys bc that's so clearly what he wants to be. Unfortunately Dan is an open book and Phil is the actual mysterious one
^ tags in question for reference, on this post
omg yeah the fact that he yearns for the mysterious men is so funny like he wants what they have. unfortunately some facts about dan:
he over-explains because he doesn't like what he says to be misconstrued (me too bestie)
he was deeply anxious about his straight facade breaking but--
he doesn't like lying about himself to people because it feels inauthentic, something he values greatly
he doesn't want to have to explain everything but his need to control the narrative overwrote that want, up until recently
he just has a lot to say tbh. bit of a chatterbox. we love it
it's not even just about dnp's relationship either. that's why his videos like BIG and Why I Quit Youtube are so long. if he's diving into something, he has to break down every explanation he gives such that it can't possibly be construed in a way different than how he intends it. communication doesn't work that way tho and that's something he (and I) have both had to learn to accept.
unfortunately you can't be aloof and mysterious and also be authentic and up-front about yourself at the same time

thinking about steph & jay parallels.
you've heard it all but i'm thinking about robin jay (half) jokingly saying that his calling is to be a medic. i'm thinking about robin steph's righteous anger blended with the need for being seen, about her drive for vengeance.
i'm thinking about steph's "rebirth" as a volunteer in the medical field aiding in humanitarian relief efforts. i'm thinking about post-res jay's international murder spree as an assassin in training, about his righteous anger blended with the need for being seen, about his drive for vengeance.

(Spoilers for the Fourth "Letters from the Outlook") Wait, so if Grian's hands are damaged, then does that mean he cannot go back to his drafting job anymore? What does he do instead when he does eventually regain some movement and dexterity to his hands?
I basically answered this in the chapter notes, which is just that I did not intend for him to have long-term damage that permanently affected his function in a massive way. That's why he has physical therapy and a compression garmet and in the scene he says his doctor is fairly confident it won't be forever. Yes, it will probably affect how fast he can go back to the job (but also his mental health is going to affect that too) and perhaps he'll have to rest his hands more often. But basically it wasn't my intention to keep him from being able to hold a pencil forever, so I don't see why he can't go back to drafting in a while. He just couldn't hold it during that still-fairly-early scene because he hadn't regained a lot of grip strength.
Also his days of drafting are numbered anyway—by the 90s, architects started to use AutoCAD for their work instead of manual drafting :)

i had a nightmare i was in the zombie apocalypse with my sister and she decided to pull off to the side of the road and 'wait out' the hoard coming right to us to get high and completely dismissed me the whole time I was begging to just keep moving until we got eaten.
ive upgraded to literally having nightmares about the night she did that at the rave. bc she ACTUALLY did that btw. she fought me for a whole hour about leaving while a guy with a gun was tweaking out LOOKING FOR US and knew we were on that bridge.

you ever just think about how if you didn't have to go to work and use up every last drop of your energy there your flat would be so clean. always. and you could eat healthier because you'd have time to cook. and maybe you would get to have a restful night's sleep for once. and you could finally establish a routine to deal with mental illness and executive dysfunction so you could actually work on your writing projects. ever think about that
