i cannot stop thinking about ian rider. more specifically, how alex had so many unprocessed feelings about him after his death. imagine being an orphan, getting adopted by your uncle as a baby, having him raise you for 14 years then discovering he lied to you your entire life. that he [unintentionally or not] trained you to be something you never wanted to be under the guise of bonding with you. never being able to ask him what his actual intentions were because he's dead. never getting closure for it. im going to throw up.

guys i'm over 70% of the way through Night Watch right now and.....god I don't even know what to say. i still have 1/4 of the book left but i think my life has been changed.........they're waving the flags of Ankh-Morpork and singing the national anthem at the barricades because they are fighting for the city. they aren't rebelling against the city, they're fighting to fix it.....they're fighting for truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg..........the government is trying to name them enemies of the state but....that's just not what they are. they are The People of Ankh-Morpork, and they're rebelling against the injustice that's become ingrained in society, not against society itself...........

Watching She-Ra and the Princesses of Power for the first time and I think one of the things that gets me the most is Hordak and Entrapta's relationship, idk if it's romantic but regardless.
She's showing the dude actual understanding as a person.
Making him him feel like more than just a failure.
He's more than just the failed clone of Horde Prime, and he's seeing someone else as more than just a tool.
He finally made, at the very least, a real, genuine friend.
Hell Entrapta was even willing to forgo doing SCIENCE IMMEDIATELY because she wanted to spend more time with him.
When the portal was finally finished he didn't even put it on himself, he knew it was all her, and he could admit it.
He wanted her to see their crowning achievement.
Catra and her bold faced lie.
That face broke me.
Just like that lie broke him.

anytime i see u talk abt touched starved binah hc im just like 🤝🤝 (agreed)
it’s always a treat to see u write abt it :]
good. someone sees my vision
Binah doesn't know what she's feeling, whenever she's near you. it's far past the point when she showed her heart to you, asking for your assistance in deciphering these strange, soft emotions- yet something is still different. her fingers twitch whenever you're near, watching silently as you fill out paperwork. she always keeps a close eye on you. her excuse is protection, but you both know the true reason, that your presence eases the never-ending turmoil and madness. for a moment, the Extraction Sephirah feels the sudden urge to lay her hands over yours, guiding your pen towards each word
she exhales, closing her eyes. how foolish. when she was an Arbiter, she wouldn't have even tolerated such silly notions
the day ends quietly, the rest of the employees trickling out until you're the only two left in the room. there's the sound of steady footsteps behind you, and with a smile you stand and wrap your arms around Binah's waist, resting your head in the crook of her neck. her breath hitches subtly, stiffening under your touch before slowly relaxing, perfect posture slumping just barely. her hand comes up to hold the back of your head, the other curling around your body and bringing you closer until she's practically cradling you
this. this is what was missing. your gentle hugs and touch

I will draw them on paper next time and use them as a way to make the outlines better :3

Soulmate AU in which when you touch your soulmate you swap bodies. It needs to be skin on skin contact and is instant. The only way to get back in the previous body is to touch again, otherwise you're stuck like that.
No matter the body all psychological and physical damage stays with you. That means if you get hurt then swap bodies, you will still feel it despite no longer having the wounds. This is only the case of existing wounds prior to swapping ; if new wounds happen to the hurt body after the swap you won't feel them, but the person in the body when it happens will. A very complicated way of saying that you can't get away from pain by swapping bodies with your soulmate as it will follow you.
There's no known consequences to not changing bodies back once swapped, though some might get sick for a few days after swapping back if they waited a long period of time to change back (say over a month, even longer depending on individual)
Now this but, you know... JeanMarco. And of course they find out during their time in the 104th Training Corps, because there's no way their skin didn't touch at least once in +3 years of training and being as close as they are. It isn't until break when they're able to visit home that they learn what it truly means ; up until that point they used it to swap chores (is the only reason why Jean didn't try to kill Eren during their shared chores- because it was actually Marco all along). At that point they knew each other perfectly.
Of course the whole situation was a little bit awkward for both of them when returning. They probably would end up avoiding each other for a bit because teenager boys and stuff, all until someone finally got the guts to mention the tension and ask them what's wrong- which forces them to talk and stuff. Doesn't matter, this is not what I want to talk about.
But the beautiful battle of Trost and what if, hypothetical speaking of course, they touch skin after Jean gets another ODM? And they're so used with each other by now, they don't even notice until the mission is nearly done anyway. And I don't know man, the idea of Jean dying while in Marco's body? Marco (in Jean's body) saying "I need to find Marco" once the mission is a success and research for his soulmate, just for him to not find him?? Not find him until 3 days later when some of them are assigned cleaning duty in Trost and he finds his own fucking body bitten in half???
The realization that it should've been Marco who died that day, but didn't because he was in Jean's body. The realization that not only his soulmate is dead, but he's stuck living his life. He's stuck living the life Jean can't because he died in Marco's place.
SEEING YOUR DEAD SOULMATE EVERYDAY WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Poor Marco would most likely avoy any reflective surface for a very long time, unable to see Jean's face looking at him.
The guilt of lying to everyone, because how does one even begin to explain what's going on? Him lying to Jean's mother to protect her from the harsh truth of the reality- that her son actually died and the one in front of her was a fake.
And the sad truth is that no one would notice because they've been doing it for months already. They knew how to act like each other to perfection. Even if Marco slipped at some point no one would question it because they got many traits from each other already.
