so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

this line has always baffled me genuinely what is she talking about. what book

edit: anon helped me with this one, apparently this an idiom...! oops lol. see, i have heard things like "you could write a book on x, you know so much about it...!" but never "you wrote a book on x," like, in the past tense, like you actually wrote it. perhaps this is common and i just don't know about it, but either way, i'm happy my question is finally answered...

i'm afraid i do look a little silly now... but that's alright

NOOOOO GUYS STOP LIKING THIS POST ITS EMBARASSSINGGGGG (not genuine go ahead I find it funny)

eventually the lime fanclub at school gets a big brain idea of inviting mochi to their events instead of lime himself....at first all the members being like "Why are we inviting her shes gonna hog all his attention?!?!" and the club president (that girl with the short hair) goes "Heh, fools....if we don't invite her, he won't show up at all....isn't it better to have him in the room so we have a CHANCE, rather than him avoiding us all the time?!" and everyones like "Whoa so true..."

at first mochi didnt care to go, but then the club members showed up at her classroom with all kinds of SPELL INGREDIENTS like "We don't know why you like/need these things, but this is the stuff you want for your side quests right...? If we give you these, will you come to [event] we're hosting?"

and thats how lime got roped into actually attending lime-fanclub events

Do you have any Thomastair WIPs? If yes, can you share a snippet? If not, do you have any headcanons about them to share?

Thomas found himself running his hands through Alastair’s hair, warmed by the beating midday sun, and let himself be pulled closer and closer, until there was no closer to go, before finally breaking the kiss.

“You were right,” Thomas pulled back just enough to speak, still so close he could see his own adoring gaze reflected in Alastair’s keen eyes “The limes are good.”

“Yes. Excellent. Just as I said they would be.” Alastair replied very matter of factly, as if they weren't hidden behind a citrus tree, tangled so closely in each others arms you would struggle to tell where each one ends “Kiss me again.”

I'm not sure how weird of a question it would be to ask, or if it's one i should ask, but if you could choose to hallucinate one of them again without any kind of drawbacks just to talk with them, would you? And who would you talk to?

Not a weird question at all, and it's one I've actually asked myself a lot over the years! If I were able to hallucinate one of my old Brain Roommates™️ again, but without the intense anxiety that is required for me to hallucinate in the first place or the actual damage to my brain that hallucinations do, I'd be very, very interested in it. However, my answer for who I would speak to in this hypothetical scenario has changed throughout the years.

Originally, I wanted to talk to the Black Clock. He was the most consistently distressing hallucination, and was a sort of manifestation of my intense perfectionism and high standards for myself. I wanted to ask him if I was enough. It was a question that haunted me for years, and either answer scared me. If I was enough, then that meant I wasn't living up to my potential and that I was "sinful, irredeemable filth" according to the script I told myself back then. If I wasn't enough, then I didn't deserve anything good and I was an active blight on all that I loved, somehow. Nowadays I don't have anything to say to him. I'm enough for myself and I'm enough for God. The opinion of some misfiring synapses doesn't matter.

After that, I wanted to speak to the Red Woman. She expressed remorse after I found my first set of medications that partially stopped me from hallucinating, and she apologized for what she put me through and told me goodbye. I held her the night I took those medications while she cried and said she was scared to die. I never saw or heard from her again, at least as a hallucination. I wanted to tell her I forgave her and that I hoped she was okay, wherever she was. I don't have that same anxiety over the speculative mortality of the voices in my head anymore, so I wouldn't say I would want to talk to her again. There's not much point to it in my eyes. She hurt me and said she was sorry. That's a full sentence. I don't need to open it up for anything else.

Later on, I wanted to talk to the Lime Hands because, in a very bizarre exchange, he expressed to me he was depressed and didn't want to exist. I wanted to see if he was feeling any better, as strange as it was to ask that of a hallucination. Now, though, I hate that freak and make no apologies for what the dang thing put me through, and the only way I'd want to reunite with him is in some wonderland scenario where I could tangibly interact with him. And that's only because I'm punching that sucker's teeth in and breaking his pinky fingers.

As for the present day answer: If I were to choose any of my hallucinations to speak to without consequence, I think I'd like to speak to Doc Brown, or the Marigold Girl.

Doc Brown was the most cordial of the hallucinations and actually stepped in to advocate for me on occasion when the pain was really bad. I liked him a lot. He was a friend to me when I had very few people to talk to. We joked together and he gave me advice and words of comfort during some of the worst nights of my life. I think it'd be fun, in a very surreal way, to catch up with him— ask him how he's doing, how he's been, if he and the Marigold Girl are still buddies and if the Red Woman and him ever got over the hump of their flirtatious hatred for each other and actually became an item. It'd be a nice little send off to the guy. He was one of the first hallucinations I stopped experiencing, and his disappearance was very abrupt. I'd like to be able to say goodbye properly, thank him for his help, and smile and kindly say I hope I never see him again.

(also, the guy's whole shtick was anxiety over disease / contamination and the possibility of me infecting others with whatever bug I caught at the time. I stopped hallucinating him WAY before 2020 and I think he would lose his mind if I told him about COVID-19. That was his time to shine and he missed it. Poor thing.)

The Marigold Girl was a very difficult figure for me to handle when I was hallucinating. On the one hand, she was a lovely, if somewhat unsettling, little girl. She liked it when I read books and explained the plots to her. She always wanted to be held. She was scared of the dark. She adored my stuffed animals and would whisper to them while I was trying to sleep. I enjoyed being around her for the most part, but she was a very weepy hallucination, and the Black Clock would deal out punishment without fail whenever she cried— it was always my fault somehow, and so I suffered the consequences of her being a bit of a crybaby.

Looking back, I feel bad for her. She was a good kid, or at least as good of a kid as an unhealthy cocktail of neurochemicals in a weary brain can be. She once said she didn't want to cry all the time and wished she knew how to stop because I got in trouble because of it. I think it would be nice to comfort her and tell her it wasn't her fault that I'd be hurt. She couldn't control things anymore than I could back then.

I'd really like to show her the new stuffed animals I've collected over the years and read her one of the short stories I've written. I think she'd like Winter Came and Went if she didn't have to worry about the consequences of crying during the sad parts. She'd definitely enjoy Bibbidy Bee Goes to the Library. If possible, I'd like to ask what her favorite color is. I think she'd have a lot of fun answering, and I'd like being able to get to know this part of my psyche that was scared to let herself show any sadness for fear of hurting others with it.

just went thru 5 hours of the tf2 scout gremlin experience (shortstop-guillotine-wrap) while blasting various songs generally of the fast paced variety and honestly i think my brain has been permanently altered as i achieve annoying scout nirvana

I so desperately want to make drastic changes to how I look, but like I don't have enough money to get a tattoo, so I guess I'm gonna dye my hair again!

There may or may not be a very rare species of frog living in my greenhouse

i kinda want to 2 do a mountain dew base because i like mountain dew and also see it as a fairly neutral base. like u can put most flavors in it and have it turn out okay. but u cant put blue raspberry in pepsi/coca cola without that sounding weird ? i would say it's bad but i've never tried it idk it might be fine. but like. versatile

[fattylime]

The atla fandom ain't toxic? Yeah I wish that was true alas it is not it is a scary fandom

i haven't engaged in a ton of fandom stuff in general just bc i usually just look at the pretty pictures and that's it,,, like i find most fandoms spaces scary because i don't like being perceived 😭 but it seems very chill over there i see a lot of very pretty fanart for it

i've branched out a little more recently i've made some fandom friends and it's not as scary and i assumed so thank u to everyone who is nice to me <3

A nightmare math-wise but decently pretty. Good mix of rounded angles and sharper points. And It's a prime, which is always a plus in my book. Unfortunately i can't ignore the fact that it's inferior to both the digits it's made up of, and therefore aesthetically- though not mathematically- less than the sum of its parts. 6.5/10- wait FUCK i reblogged that 'weird writer questions' ask game thing didn't I oh my god I seriously thought someone dropped a random number into my askbox without context.

"If you were to be remembered only by the words you’ve put on the page, what would future historians think of you?"

well if tumblr counts as a page they're gonna see this and think i'm a fucking weirdo but if we're counting only fictional narratives then the consensus will be "Oh my god why doesn't this bitch ever finish anything?" That, or I get lucky and they'll think the updates are simply lost to time and my endings will be a great mystery, with multiple scholars and artists fighting over conflicting inerpretations.

love the idea that for big gift events like limes birthday/christmas/valentines day, lime just has a MASS of gifts from all the girls at school who like him, and then while hes opening them up mochi is RIGHT THERE getting first dibs at the stuff he doesnt want

Throwback Thursday, my original two boys I don’t use anymore!

Regius was really into birds. And flight. And had winglike blades built into his arms for his weapon, which made absolutely no sense. He was indigo and a pretty serious dude. He also looked like a lord of the rings extra, which led to the death of my entire ability to use him because two of my rp partners couldn’t be normal about him.

If you ever wonder why I ask anyone who finds my OCs hot to come back with a warrant, his treatment is the source of 90% of my bile.

Auriga was a very nervous and cowardly limeblood who was an explosives expert. Despite knowing the empire wanted him dead he was still pretty hemoloyal, because he wanted something to cling to to make him feel better than regular lowbloods and a way to stay safe. He was killed by Tetrao, the same guy who broke Jamie’s back.

If you ever don’t like something try it the Mexican way and I promise it will taste better and that is adding lime and salt to everything. Beer? Way better with it, Popcorn? Hell yeah (Well I don’t put salt I put Tajin and it slaps), Oysters? Amazing, Grilled fish? Slaps, Salad? Sliced cucumbers? Almost any type of fruit and chips? Yes yes yes

Alternative to this is salt, lime, and something “spicy” and I put it on quotation marks because this includes tajin, valentina, and chamoy and those aren’t spicy

Hhhrgh getting the urge to re-dye my hair but I wanna hold out to go pink for the summer. But the green still in my bathroom is calling me........
