#it's a fucking feedback loop

[beemovieerotica]

it's wild talking to liberals because i said something like, "isn't it fucked up how this huge percent of living spaces in urban areas are rented and not owned" and someone snaps back with "no actually it's GOOD because people who work in big cities are constantly turning over their jobs and coming and going and migrating anyway and so there NEEDS to be a big renting population to accommodate them!"

my good bitch...why do you think they're constantly turning over their jobs and coming and going and NOT settling down...? *gasp* it couldn't possibly be the lack of affordable housing!

Hey Laurent, Maybe it was all of you NOT being open about anything that put him under intense mental and emotional pressure for one of the most physical weekends on the calendar? And maybe, it was the way that allowed every so-called reporter in the paddock to say the nastiest shit to his face and call it journalism.

bellanda and laudanda are both so alike to each other in personality and they both fucking hate it so much. it endlessly irritates both of them to see any comparison to themselves in the other and this endlessly fuels just how much they hate each other overall.

I like cutting Dylan’s hand off for the drama it brings to his character arc, but the alternative has its charms because he gets to have this little moment before the human murder spree that is Laura comes along.

from the character headcanons: describe their clothing style, describe their laugh, their hobbies, and their habits/mannerisms!! for either corey or chase (or both👀) up to you!!

All of them for both!!!! :D This one got LONG so i'm throwing it under a cut to save y'alls dash lmao

Clothing style:

Corey is a fun blend of 2008-2013 punk, emo, and scene in their sidestep era look. Mostly black clothes with a lot of patches/visible mending and custom/diy accessories (yes their piercings were also diy, yes that was a bad idea). They didn't have a lot of money for multiple outfits/new clothes, so they put a lot of love into keeping the few they had in rotation in wearable condition. Their rebirth look was very "walked into a goodwill and grabbed the first pair of jeans and a hoodie that fit them". Still all black but in a much more lowkey way. In retribution they have a bunch of their piercings professionally redone and let themselves start branching out a little with their fashion choice again. Their style in game can be described as a range from "edgy streetwear"(im picturing more like techwear) to "edgy casual" depending on how much they're trying to lay low. They're starting to venture into more androgynous clothing choices and its doing wonders for their confidence. I expect a much stronger return of the sidestep era punk look/pops of color/fun accessories in revelations.

Chase has always had a very practical sense of style. She lets herself indulge the whimsy in her hair dye and jewelry choices, with her eyebrow/nose/ear piercings. She's always wearing some kind of necklace, usually a choker. Even then, her jewelry choices have gotten more practical between sidestep era and the present. She's learned the hard way to swap out hoops/rings for studs and to never wear a necklace made of a non-flexible or overly strong material (hence the stretchy plastic choker and the eyebrow scar from where her sidestep era eyebrow piercing got ripped out). Her clothing style is described in game as "masculine grungy military surplus". Very 90s grunge, lots of baggy cargo pants and big stompy boots. Unironically likes camo. Likes going to thrift stores to look for t-shirts with funny/weird graphics on them. Chops the sleeves off all of them only to wear them over a long sleeved compression shirt anyway (gotta show off those shoulder muscles even if she cant show skin)

Describe their laugh:

Corey: High pitched, loud and raspy. ranges from cutesy giggles to hyena cackle. If you make Corey laugh, everyone in the building is gonna hear it. Infectious laughter both bc its adorable and bc their leaky telepath brain is sharing the happy feelings with everyone in range.

Chase: Usually more of a amused exhale/snort kind of girl, but if you really get her to laugh (its HARD but not impossible), its a breathy/squeaky wheeze. Sounds like an engine trying to turn over.

Hobbies:

Corey: playing guitar/singing/songwriting, visiting the beach to look for critters in tidepools (they love fish, they'd have their own aquarium at home if they weren't worried about what would happen to the fish if something happens to them). Not a current one but they had a shitty motorcycle for a bit in their sidestep days that they miss, having a project bike was fun.

Chase: She wouldn't call them hobbies bc that implies she puts time and effort into anything but her plans, but she likes to doodle, go to the gym/lift weights (like for actual fun and stress relief not training), and loves going to car shows (if she had the time and let herself enjoy things on purpose, her dream car is a toss up between a hellcat and an old fastback mustang. On one hand, having something to tinker with is fun, on the other, older unreliable cars are expensive and she wouldn't be able to justify the impracticality). She might not be a tech step but she and Corey are still batchmates and she retained some of the "take it apart and learn how it works" vibes by way of being a car nerd.

Habits/mannerisms:

Corey: Smoking, nail biting, chewing on their hoodie strings/drink straws/whatever's close by and biteable. They fidget a LOT when they're relaxed and not thinking about their body language, talks with their hands. If they're being more guarded they'll cross their arms and hold really still as an overcorrection. Almost never makes eye contact while talking. Will aggressively shake their head at what seems like random moments to an outside witness, but its their response to a particularly upsetting bad brain moment/train of thought/flashback/overhearing something telepathically that they shouldn't. Tends to mirror peoples speech patterns/accents on accident.

Chase: Skin picking (acne scarring and fucked up cuticles galore), cracks her knuckles like every 30 seconds, clenches her jaw/grinds her teeth when she's stressed. She's a lot better at keeping still/not visibly fidgeting than Corey at the expense of her attention span. If you want her to remember what you're saying then walk and talk or give her something to play with/doodle on. Makes too much eye contact while talking (girl stares into your soul but she's really just zoned out). Will yawn and crack her jaw to break up a tense moment (especially if she's getting upset, girl rarely cries but fights it tooth and nail when it happens, this is her go to tell that she's holding that back). She's not as much of a talker as Corey in the first place, but when she's genuinely angry or upset she's deathly silent (perhaps actually nonverbal? not that she'd know enough to call it that). Definitely the drywall puncher type, but she's good enough at repairing things that she's still probably gonna get her security deposit back.

HI. HELLO. SORRY. i heard we’re talking about hunger au + the others finding out about fucked up stuff that grian’s doing

i’m obsessed with the potions. in order to die (which he doesn’t even *want*, or at least doesnt think he wants, he just believes it’s the safest option) he has to corrupt his friends’ attempt to help him. healing potions have been like. the only thing he’s conceded on for his own comfort. tango is super excited when he learns about them bc 1. it’s something actionable and immediate thatll directly help, and 2. grian gets noticeably… not hopeful, exactly, but definitely more responsive the few times that they’re talking about the potions. which. i’m sure tango will feel really good about after the fact (assuming the plan happens).

and then mumbo overextended himself making a *gold farm* entirely for potions and pearl “got carried away” collecting netherrack. it’s so clearly a priority for them. how are they going to react when grian hurts himself using them?? when they find out that they don’t do anything notable in the first place *except* give him a way to hurt himself?? after potions almost killed him the FIRST time??????? augh. i think about it so much

(also i heard we could pick emojis so im picking 📞 ty <3)

You're more than welcome to pick an emoji!! :D i honestly love it, i love seeing regulars in my inbox its like having people wave at me from across the street whenever they send in asks hehe :]

Man, the potions..... yeah the potions are crazy dude, i can see why everyone is obsessed with them. I havent exactly made a post on this yet, but healing potions don't actually do anything for a Watcher's structural code (theyre designed for Player surface code specifically, so they arent even fully compatible with Watcher surface code), which makes him conceding on them even more painful, because the others are latching onto this single one opportunity to help and its not even actually helping. Its being used, in fact, to eventually hurt him. Nobody is gonna like that.

Im really glad how everyone's desperate attempts at getting the potion ingredients are being picked up on in fic, especially since those references been sorta randomly sprinkled in throughout the chapters (usually through dialogue). Yeah they are.. thats gonna be Fun when they find out the truth on that one >:] ive had the scene for that in mind for AGES and i cannot WAIT to finally get it out there for everyone to see, because man. Its gonna be visceral, i'll tell you that

Im so so glad you like what im doing here enough to be rotating it in your brain like this!!! :D i shake your hand we sit and spin the potions like rotisserie chicken

I witnessed a reddit post today in which OP's brother's 6th grade science class had an AI generated anatomical poster in their classroom.

All I can think about is how fucking cooked our education system is as more and more academic environments pick up on this bullshit and it is so fucking concerning.

Oooooo I love the warlock teacher. Go off, Zara Sool!

“When it comes to manners of warlock, the only thing that counts is on the page.” For someone who was introduced like two minutes ago to me, already saying a BANGER of a line

[queenlua]

i'm being hit

[briefcasejuice]

ive been seeing improvements in my reaction to my medication in the sense that i haven't complained about anything in the past four days and im actually washing the dishes and showering again (brushing my teeth is still an issue but you win some you loose some) + it only took me a few days to get something done instead of weeks or months but then i had a a minor car accident today (not my fault logically and in terms of what happened but legally my fault based on how it works. if that makes sense) and all that progress is gone now lol

[teh-nos]

today's overthinking of the marvel cinematic universe and its fandom is that while there is a strong thread of classism in the CEO Loki/Blue Collar Thor trends, it has not arisen entirely or even primarily from the fandom itself, which is to some extent just casting the two leading men in terms of what archetype they'd be modelling for on the cover of a romance novel. which is largely built - i suspect - from the visual presentation of the characters in the original movie(s). whether there's classism in those choices by the filmmakers i will leave as homework a thought experiment for the reader, because there clearly is but i don't want to say that i wouldn't want to take this baseless theory too far.
