i don’t think we talk enough about declan being equally as down bad and ‘all or nothing’ with romance as ronan is. like yes ronan said he would start wars and burn cities for adam’s true smile, begged god for adam after he first saw him and fortuitously had all his objects of worship were in one downtown block etc but ronan had known adam atleast 18 months at this stage. whereas declan really risked it all to get tyrian purple overnight for a first date gift after ONE conversation…the man was discussing their marriage as a ‘when’ not an ‘if’ before we even saw them kiss like what’s his excuse lmaoo

it's kind of funny that we're back at the start, as it was known from the very beginning, as the story always was, the old lore: "the Divine Gate was built in response to the destruction and suffering of the Calamity as the Prime Deities realized was far too much and, as such, they needed to also remove themselves from Exandria to protect it from the ruin that the gods dwelling here brings"

a lot of people are insisting on viewing jack and joker purely as romance for some reason and getting upset that it is not... and as a result their opinions are so disturbingly disregarding of essentially the whole show because the society as portrayed in it is so so important to jack and joke's relationship and background like do you think the whole four horsemen lore was just for fun??? do you think the temple and the people it houses is just some insignificant nonsense? do you think Suphanimit is just where tattoo lives? do you think Jennie's death was just a silly shock value???

do you think it's a coincidence that the main leads include a rich kid who steals for the poor and a poor kid who is strongly against theft???

romance is OBVIOUSLY difficult in their circumstances like have you met the average economically underprivileged gay person in an underdeveloped part of a developing country??? it's a love that inherently becomes 'different', stitching within it the social 'other'ness of the main characters. that's what people just can't digest. being used to seeing things as this or that, black or white, good or bad, has choked people out of the ability to perceive flawed individuals learning to love and choose their families despite not knowing how to love or protect in the right way, despite the world constantly closing on on them, despite the impact threatening to rip them apart.

Love and Deepspace cockblocking you by making a certain level required to progress the story and that level only attainable through xp that can only be gained via tasks refreshed daily is making me internally foaming at the mouth... Give me Sylus goddamnit

stranger things season one 2016 was so fucking incredible. it exists as an entirely different entity to me than the rest of the show. you literally just had to be there. to this day nothing has ever come close to the amount of universal love for a fictional story that stranger things first received. ive been chasing this high for eight years.

I'm really not vibing with whatever staff is doing now. Not only does there seem to be a total internal communication breakdown, there also seems to be an absolute disregard for how the players are affected by this.

Like, ignoring the fact that the consistency argument doesn't even hold water, their takeaway from the Fern/Paisley thread seems to have been "oh we gotta change Breakup and Hypnotic too!!"

And then completely reversing Sandsurge Blend on top of that? A gene that's been out for over half a year and was only listed as having the gradient softened, not reversed? Just a total failure to communicate and an absolute bullheadedness in pushing the changes through despite the very reasonable player concerns?

To top it all off, none of these are bug changes, they are style changes. Someone saw these genes before they went live, greenlighted them, and put them in the game. And now, months upon months later, someone else (presumably) says "fuck that, I want the gene to look like this instead" and that complete change is just... pushed through??

Like. Did they learn nothing from the Butterfly debacle, from Obelisk Flair, hell, from the Eyepocalypse?

What the fuck is going on behind the scenes?

Cloudy weather is so offensive to me because I just want to sit outside under a blanket and hold hands with someone but NO ONE is here to hold hands with

We don't think we are a doll.

In truth, we never were.

Dolls are beings of Purpose, yes, but we realize now Stillness is something we not only lack but cannot attain. It would, in fact, prevent our Purpose to attain Stillness.

We are like a doll, but something different. An empty space made into an artificial form to fulfill its given role, but something made to be independent and self directing.

We suppose the term has been there all along, in our pages very title.

We are a Construct. We serve old gods.

Speaking of "The City on the Edge of Forever," I've been thinking about how my femslash Spirk AU winds out through the canon TOS episodes, interacts with gender expectations of the show, etc, and am mentally organizing episodes by how drastically affected they'd be.

I'm also thinking of S'paak hiding her ears beneath a beanie in 1930 :P

fitzloved as orpheus and eurydice yes fool's fate yes of course but also assassin's fate when fitz is trying SO HARD to let go to just die and he wants to ask beloved to go with him more than anything he's the ONLY one he wants to ask but he knows its not fair it shouldn't be the way he loves but he can't HELP reaching his hand and calling out for beloved w his last strength he cant HELP wanting to be whole he cant go into death without beloved and beloved has always been there waiting for him and the only place he wants to be is with fitz and of COURSE he goes without hesitation it was always bound to happen. beloved never knew he was loved but in that moment he does he fucking DOES
