Love, Scribbled in the Margins

Tim keeps journals—pages filled with scattered thoughts, half-formed ideas, reminders hastily scribbled in the margins before they slip from his mind. His penmanship is erratic, sometimes neat, sometimes a barely legible scrawl. There’s no structure, no careful curation—just the unfiltered chaos of his thoughts, poured onto the pages with reckless honesty.

Danny finds them everywhere.

There’s one on Tim’s desk, filled with quick notes and unfinished sketches. Another by the bed, pages warped from where Tim has knocked over his coffee more than once. One tucked into his jacket, carried with him wherever he goes. And when Danny opens them, he finds something unexpected.

Not plans for patrols. Not mission reports or Gotham’s latest conspiracies.

No, these journals are something else. Something just for Danny.

There are messy, hurried notes—things Tim meant to tell him but hadn’t yet, thoughts that slipped his mind in the rush of the day. Scattered reminders: Tell Danny about the ghost dog that stole my sandwich. Ask Danny if ectoplasm works the same way as Lazarus water. Danny likes lemon biscuits. Find a good recipe?

There are doodles, too. Little sketches of Danny in the margins, some more detailed than others. A rough, unfinished one of him asleep on the couch, another of his hands, a quick, cartoonish scribble of Danny sticking his tongue out with the words annoying boyfriend scrawled underneath.

It’s messy. It’s chaotic. And it’s so Tim.

Danny had always imagined love as something poetic, something grand and beautiful, the kind of thing written in sweeping verses that promised forever. The kind of love you read about in stories, in letters written with elegant penmanship, every word crafted with care.

Tim’s love isn’t like that. It isn’t neatly composed or carefully written.

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s a thousand little moments captured in ink-stained fingers and smudged notes. It’s love scribbled into the corners of his life, unpolished and unfiltered.

And Danny? Danny wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Because love, he realizes, isn’t always the kind you find in poetry. Sometimes, it’s a journal filled with half-finished thoughts and silly drawings. Sometimes, it’s a name written absentmindedly in the corner of a page, over and over again. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a note that says, Thinking of you.

Love doesn’t have to be perfect to be real. It doesn’t have to be grand to mean everything.

And like honey pulled straight from the comb, love is sweetest when it’s raw.

okay so you know how people say that the first rhythm we hear is our mother's heartbeat? i started wondering about what noises secunits might have in their bodies [that sounds weird but whatever]

'booting up' noise [different depending on the company, some secunits don't even hear it when it happens bc they're usually kinda discombobulated at the time]

the warning noise that your governor module makes when you don't follow a command immediately

pings [in canon i think its left up to interpretation what pings are like. they might be physical sensation, they might be visual, they might be sounds, they might be a mix. but i think its fun to imagine that at least some secunits process it as a little noise]

drops or rises in performance reliability [i think it is funny to imagine this as being a sort of cartoon-ish sound effect. sad BWOOOOoooooomp p p when performance reliability drops. perhaps a happy little jingle when it rises]

very slight whirring of their bodies, gets louder if they're exerting themselves or messing with their body temperature

they can hear the inner workings of their cubicles when they're getting repaired

+ bonus because it's not really the same as the rest but i love it

different humans have different feed sounds, independent of what their actual voices sound like.

you know the tma hyperfixation has gotten bad when, while half mentally checked out in ap lang, you misheard "jonathan swift" as "jonathan sims"

books read so far, 2025

1/12 months of reading - January

This year I want it to be a year of books. I finished my bachelor's degree and for a while I want to read books not school related, that were not someone else's choice for me. So I immediately accepted it to make my new year's resolution to read more. These are the three books I finished in January (the Brothers Karamazov was started months ago, I wish I was that fast at reading 💘).

But my favourite of the month was Mary Oliver's Felicity. Highly recommend! ❤️‍🩹

Let's see what February has for us!

Can't be assed (usually due to chronic pain and exhaustion, but sometimes I'm just apathetic) to take care of myself and home but I CAN Be Bribed

[Image Description: a notebook page that says "Level 0 twelve/ twenty/twenty-four. Underneath that is a list of tasks, each with a square to be filled in front of it and EXP points at the end of it. The tasks are: Do dishes (filled in, 5 points; Clean apartment (2 points); Eat at least 1 substantial meal (filled in, 1 point); Read at least one chapter of book (1 point); Write (2 points); Brush teeth (filled in, 3 points); Look up city wifi [program] (filled in, 1 point); Try and clean blood stain (filled in, 2 points), Unclog bathroom sink (filled, 2 points); Powder (filled in, 1 point); and French (3 points). At the bottom it says "Reward: ["black sketchbook" has been crossed out and replaced] Heavenly Tyrant", followed by fifty boxes, fifteen of which are filled in. End I.D]

Depending how quickly I level up, might increase the points needed to one hundred bc I can't afford to buy myself little treats all the time 😭
