Impulsively shoving a guy's hand in your mouth after having the thought "oh just like when my little sister used to prick herself on a rose thorn" and then immediately being treated like a pet who ate something they shouldn't have? Wonderful. Thank you, Thane.

(also not pictured is Thane apparently trying to scrape your tongue with his hand BEFORE pouring the holy water down your throat because NO. BAD.)

Hey it’s been a while since I’ve been around to read/message cause life’s been a lot at the start of this semester but I saw your tags and I must say that I Definitely picked up that Grian’s boss thought mumbo was his bf

NICE now i know at least three of y'all caught that. What can I say...it's the 80s and Grian's pretty inconsolably devastated about his close friend whom he not only lives with but moved accros the world with. and they're not even college students or something, they're in their mid-late 20s when many people (especially decades ago) were settling down. it's raising some eyebrows for that guy-

there's like a secret shipping version of this fic but the content of the fic is just completely identical and all i do is change the tagging LOL

^^^ discord message i sent right after i wrote the line in chapter 8 about how grian recognizes the sound of scar's breathing 😭

to that point though, i realized really early into this fanfic that the reason my writing kept straddling this romantic-platonic line in my head (because i was getting shipping vibes from my own work) was mainly because of the depth and intensity of grian's grief. i sort of subconsciously associated this kind of reaction to the loss of romantic partner, not a friend. thereby suggesting it's somehow less traumatic to lose a friend? i realized that my initial vibes automatically weighted romantic relationships as being more important than platonic relationships. and i don't really like that assumption. i don't like that my first reaction was that intense grief had to equal romance, and that platonic should be placed on a lower rung with less intense emotion. they're different relationship dynamics, but they can be equally important in someone's life. there's love in both places.

ANYWAY so after i worked that all out, i doubled down on keeping it a genfic. so, in general as a writer--not just for this au but for my other works--i always want to go all in. i've struggled with holding myself back before and i want to break that mental barrier. i don't want to flinch away from showing any kind of emotion between characters in my work. if that means grian saying mumbo meant everything to him or him saying he wouldn't have survived without scar, well...

anyway y'all do have my permission to read this fic as a grumbo or scarian (or mumscarian if you're optimistic) fanfic if you want to. i don't care! it'd make a great shipping fic. it will stay as a genfic ultimately, though, so if you want to go in with shipping goggles you're not going to get any specific resolution for that kind of relationship

I kinda feel like I'm falling apart

[happyk44]

Thinking about George watching Lockwood and Lucy and getting frustrated because it doesn't make sense. George has been around longer than she has and he still knows next to nothing about him. But Lucy appears one day and he can't stop from following her around like a lost duckling, gushing about her talents on the news, when George has done things worthy of fawning over. Even if for a moment.

Thinking about him yelling at Lockwood that it's unfair he lets Lucy go with him on all the dangerous excursions while George is left to twaddle behind with research. Argues that it wasn't fair of them to stand on Flo's boat and stare at him until he said he would stay back, never offering themselves. That the only action he got to partake in was the slow loss of his sanity.

Thinking about Lockwood trying to argue back but George is logic and facts wrapped up in a screaming ball of emotions. He's barreling down the walls of a repressed teenager who'd rather die than divulge his emotions and then George is shoved against the wall, heart blaring in his throat, silenced suddenly by the presence of another's mouth.

Thinking about George staring wide-eyed confused as Lockwood pulls away. Thinks about the crestfallen whisper, hoarse with hidden truths, the way Lockwood's eyes refuse to meet George's, staring sullenly at the ground.

"I can't lose you," he says.

(I love you, I love you, I love you)

in post-ph specifically a really old idea ive had is that linebeck is extremely, extremely possessive of his coat, but if in a situation where he fears he might actually die, he gives it to the person he trusts to save him, or he gives it to someone he cares about that seems to be on the brink of death

You know. I really did not need to watch the hunger games on a Wednesday night after a long day with family over. I think that was a bad idea, I'm way too sensitive for this
