My red flag is that I fully believe that if someone held me while I fell asleep that I would be completely healed of everything wrong with me.

I need to independently post more about Thorfinn and Einar, because those two are so dang cute, I love them.

for me, they rest in that area where I like them as any kind of relationship you want to attribute to them. I love their bond in the canon story, because I think the way they operate as found family brothers is fitting for the thematic weight that Yukimura intends their relationship to carry.

but also it's so easy to extrapolate their closeness into romance in speculative fiction. especially if they're kind of everything to each other. they share the same brain cell. they bring out the best in how their parents raised them from each other. they are drift compatible. two smart men can be one whole idiot. "brother" as in "man who I need to remain attached to, yet this is a need for which I have no other legitimizing name." but that's before they kiss and figure out that love has as many names as there are poetic comparisons to peace and beauty in this world. Einar's type is pretty blond people with sad eyes, and he loves doing the work of making things better for them. Thorfinn's type is headstrong, stubborn brunettes who are blunt, easy to talk to, and pleasant to be around. Thorfinn said "nothing good has ever happened to me" and Einar took that as a personal challenge. Einar is full of so much morally righteous indignation that Thorfinn both wants and needs to protect him at all costs. they would share the same toothbrush if they only had one to their name.

i think it should be completely normal and encouraged to tell people you love them if you love them, and to say when you're in love with them when you are.

i don't want to say ily i want to say i love you because I Do, i am simply not in love with you. ykwim

I tortured Abel so much, it's time to be nice to him

Abel stepped outside the home, wondering what could be taking Til so long to return from the shop, when he found her lying in the grass in front of the house, head cradled in her hands as she rested comfortably and smiled up at the sky.

“Weren’t you going to go shopping?” he asked confusedly. Was she okay?

“I was going to, but Abel, honey, just look up,” she answered wistfully before patting the grass beside her. “Come lie here with me.”

The knight stepped hesitantly into the grass, hissing quietly when his bare foot found a small stone. When he reached his wife he slid to the ground, wiggling a little to get comfortable as Tilieth sighed peacefully.

“The stars are so beautiful,” she whispered, and the area grew still. The air filled with the sounds of crickets and the trickling water of the stream running through the village.

Abel glanced at his wife, a smile pulling at his lips. He found it so endearing how the world amazed her, as if she were seeing it for the first time every day. It… made him look at the world anew as well. He guessed sometimes he needed that. Turning his attention upward, he stared at the sky until his eyes adjusted better to the dark, and stars began to be caressed by what seemed to be clouds, far, far higher than any normal cloud could ever be. Specklings of dimmer stars steadily made themselves known, like little spots slowly becoming apparent over a deep, deep blue canvas. It was a new moon tonight. The sky was glowing anyway.

Tilieth’s face glowed just as brightly.

“I love where we live,” she said.

Abel found himself looking at Til far more than the sky, and his smile grew. He would forever be grateful that he had been stationed here for those few months, long enough to meet the most wonderful woman in the world. Long enough to recognize he was head over heels, long enough for her to recognize it in return and reach out to him, long enough for them to agree to write letters to each other when he moved on, long enough for all of it to culminate into this.

“Hylia has been kind to us,” his wife continued.

Abel chuckled, his hand sliding to hers and holding it, and then he looked up at the heavenly art once more. “Yeah. Yeah, she has.”

So I've told a few people I consider close friends about being "more than just me". Like I've explained that I'm plural, that I have "others" [read: headmates] that I share brain/thinking space with.

And so far we've had no negative reactions. Which is great! I mean of course there's doubt about whether or not some of them actually believe us, and if maybe they're just thinking we're attention seeking... or crazy....

But there hasn't been any like,,, positive reactions. Which I know is a bit much to ask, but I just wish that someone would at least be a bit excited. Like dude, I'm like five friends in one, thats pretty rad, right?

Like I wish they'd take the time and ask questions, ask about us individually, even ask to speak to specific members. Like I'm so paranoid about being seen as weird or pushy so we continue to mask as a singlet. Like I keep Coda from outerworld interactions because I'm scared of him embarrassing us [and I know it's just me and Null being anxious for dumb reasons but still]. And Caz just wants to infodump about all of us, he's so desperate for interaction outside of us and I feel like an ass bc I know he's holding himself back for my comfort.

I just. I wish we could be us. I wish the few people I consider close would be excited to get to know each of us [and yes Null, that includes you.] I want them to know the others as themselves and not just as me 'but to the left'. It's frustrating.

rip in peace calvin klein plain white all cotton mens t-shirts I got as a gift like 8 years ago that are super comfy and just the right thickness and are only just now starting to become threadbare and stained but I am not paying thirty-five dollars for 3 new plain white tees that were probably also made in the same factory as the 6 pack of hanes cotton plain white tees I bought by overseas laborers for slave wages

i think i just worry im going to blast her brain with too much new music very far outside of her usual sphere all at once fhsdkjl, like... I think perhaps putting hip hop on the playlist would not be a good idea but alsoooo... i want more people to listen to hip hop and rap LOL. i'm now asking her if theres any music genres that she specifically dislikes so i can know what to avoid putting on here and if she doesn't give me anything to work off of then.... woe, Any Genre be upon ye LMAO

You miss an annual event ONE (1) time and suddenly it's so much better than all the ones you've attended.

// idk how grusha's and rika's convo in the DLC made me think so much of their potential dynamic that i eventually painted a clear picture in my head of what they'd be like.

rika's just making jokes and teasing him gently to try and transmit her good vibes to him. and that alone made me think ''what if she's doing it because she wants to help him feel comfier around her?''. after all, in that convo, he's about to ask her about something league-related.

aaaand that eventually led me to think ''since she knows how tense the topic makes him. what if. rika had always been somewhat fond of him, and she wants to get to know him better and help him, cause she knows what it's like to be tense and having to deal with it alone, and she doesn't want him to deal with those feelings. even when there's a very real feeling of 'i wonder if he'll care' underneath''...

idk i just think of how i interpreted that brief conversation and i go crazyyyy LOL
