Hi! Your solnep art is so cute! Ive never considered that ship before, but given nepetas type, i could totally see it working out. Keep up the good art 💚💛💚💛

y'all are making me emotional by the sweet comments 😭thank you guys so muchhhhh!!!

its fair that folks dont consider them really but i think with working them out a little more and actually having them interact more, theyd honestly be pretty good together in any quadrant. even if its just generally chill friends at first and overtime growing a bit closer (which is how i kind of always viewed that working out).

Lonely Anymore

The Inner Circle x Reader

Warnings: depression, mentions of feeling numb, mention of blood and crying, alcohol, platonic intimacy, mentioned Feyre, Elain and Nesta, reader doesn't like Nesta and Elain bc I dont lol. Repost from my main blog.

Summary: You need your family, and they need you.

Word count: 782

Taglist: 

* * *

The window was wide open, harsh gusts of wind blowing into the room, disrupting papers on the desk and blowing your hair into your face, stinging your skin and making your eyes water.

Yet, you hardly seemed to notice the biting cold that struck your skin, hardly flinching, or moving from where you sat on the armchair, legs folded and arms around your knees, hugging them close to your chest. Your nails dug into the palms of your hands, nearly drawing blood, but again, it attracted none of your attention.

Your eyes were dull, dark bags under your eyes, from exhaustion mostly. Tears had streamed down your cheeks earlier but not anymore, you simply had no tears left to give to the world, nothing more you could offer.

You had given this world your blood, sweat and tears, your love and your dreams, and in return it had given you the one thing you always lacked;

A family.

The Inner Circle.

It had started with Rhys, Cassian, Azriel, and Mor. Then Amren, then Feyre. Nesta and Elain joined then, though you didn't like them very much, but that was possibly because of how they treated your High Lady, and finally baby Nyx, the newest, and your favourite, member of the family.

So the world gave you a family, and a chance of being loved.

But that was never going to be all, was it? It seemed that the world wasn't quite finished with you yet

No, it gave you hate as well as love, fear as well as joy, pain as well as care. 

It caused your dreams to turn to nightmares, your hopes to failures, your youthful innocence to turn to hardened pessimism. 

You're not sure when you stopped feeling like you were part of the family, perhaps it was over Solstice? Solstice where you sat in the corner as Feyre and Rhys cuddled Nyx in front of the fire, as Nesta and Cassian playfully bickered while Azriel and Elain laughed at their banter, as well as Mor who happily danced in the centre of the room, swinging a bottle of wine around like a weapon.

And you.. you just sat there, nursing your own wine, suddenly feeling lonelier than you had ever felt before. As you watched them each be happy in their own ways, a weight settled on your chest, and had stayed there ever since.

You did your job, played an active role as a member of the Night Court, but distanced yourself as well. They didn't seem to notice, only little Nyx, who crawled onto your lap one evening and poked your cheek, a frown on his adorable face.

"Sad"

"I'm not sad, Nyxie."

But he only frowned even more. "sad" before planting a wet kiss on your chin. "Happy."

"Yes darling, your kisses make me very happy."

Babies were so easy to satisfy.

So now you sat alone in your room, on an uncomfortable chair, without warm clothes, while the winter air froze your body, yet not bothering you at all.

You didn't feel anything, just numb.

You didn't feel anything when the window closed suddenly, or when footsteps entered the room. 

You didn't feel anything when strong arms lifted you to your bed, or when calloused hands stroked your hair softly. 

Or when four other figures clambered into the bed with you, three Illyrian males and one female. 

You only felt something when the blonde smoothed your hair out of your face and looked at you with the softest expression you had ever seen on her face.

"We love you, you know that right?" and you felt it all of a sudden, like a wave of emotion. Overwhelming you completely. 

You'd learn later that Azriel lay closest to you, and it was him that carried you to the bed and held you so snugly, that it was Cassian who stroked your hair so softly and it was Rhysand who shut the windows, using his abilities to heat your frigid room. 

You'd learn all this later but for now you let it out like a burst dam, as you sobbed into Azriel's chest, three other pairs of hands comforting you in some way, the best way they could. 

Your family.

A 5th figure, a shorter female slipped in at one point, taking a protective position at the end of the bed, comforting you the only way she knew how, and was appreciated nonetheless. 

You loved Feyre, and Elain and Nesta were part of the circle now too, but for now you needed your first family, and they mentally vowed to spend as much time as possible convincing you that they needed you too. 

That they needed you, that they loved you, that you were important to them, and that they'd always be there for you.

That you didn't have to be lonely anymore.

What I enjoy so much about the gilded age is that it's not about the big dramas. Like yes, obviously everyone knows about the VERY public feud between Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Astor. But it's the little dramas that reel me in and keep me coming back for more.

It's Mrs. Armstrong and her daily pessimism versus the rest of the jolly downstairs crew. It's Mr. Bannister versus Mr. Church. It's the newly minted Mrs. Turner versus Mrs. Russell which only 5 people are aware of and 2/3 of them have the last name Russell (like does Mr. Turner know his wife used to be Mrs. R's lady's maid? I DONT THINK SO). It's Agnus versus Ada because no one will save you like your sibling but no one will hold this over your head LIKE YOUR SIBLING WILL. It's Ms. Scott versus her parents and sometimes even herself because who do we not war best with but ourselves and our inner needs and truths?

It's humanity at its best, flawed and most human and oh, I love it so much.

tag game!

@soulproof tagged me to shuffle my spotify and list the first 10 songs that come up! i find this game interesting every time it goes around bc it's such a clear holdover from the itunes library and the days when it was less complicated to try and put all your music on shuffle. i'll just do my on repeat i think

1. denny's - SUGR? | i like this song but i think the story is a little confusing, def not in my top 5 from this artist. great hbd tune. it's here bc it's my alarm lol

2. real love baby - father john misty | im in love! im alive! i belong to the stars and sky! yeah we know this one, it's great to sing when doing chores etc

3. the frost - mitski | this album rules and ofc i am most attracted to the songs abt loss. yesterday i saw frost on the ground etc. good fall tune!

4. paper bag - fiona apple | i mean. it's fiona apple. her lyrics are just fantastic. my fall playlists are both kinda sad/pessimistic, isn't it great when an artist makes pessimism fun and flirty?

5. everybody wants to love you - japanese breakfast | another tune ive been enjoying when doing chores. plus i got to see this band live recently and they've been on all my playlists since.

6. comes and goes - HYUKOH | good song abt change and the inevitability of loss that is, again, fun and flirty. if u dont know hyukoh check em out, they have a bunch of bite sized EPs

7. i belong in your arms - chairlift | not my favorite chairlift song but wailing i belong in your arms has gotten me thru some of these housesitting jobs recently

8. bros - wolf alice | similarly, not my fav wolf alice song but also i love songs abt bestfriends and i am a sucker for songs abt deep intense friendship.

9. little death - the beths | GREAT crush song i love the beths. they have a lot of great songs abt desire specifically. also i got to see them live at the postal service / death cab concert so im listening to them more

10. slip away - perfume genius | did this enter everyone's consciousness mysteriously or do yall remember how u found it? fun song tho

i’m tagging a ton of ppl beneath the cut btw, i need a bunch of music and soon so i will be eating ur lists

[coredrill]

perhaps my most insane collection of brvn thots yet

do we think lulu is from the moon. i think this for three reasons. one: when she told superbia she was going to ride him the moon was quite large and prominent in the shot. symbolism. two: when she got her fancy hairdo, she had two little buns that looked like moons. three: “lulu” could come from “luna” the same way it could come from the first syllable of smith’s name. why would she become spanish? don’t worry abt it. also if she’s from there then maybe the “final battle” which obari allegedly said would take place in an unexpected location will indeed be on the moon (pls dont ask for a source on this bc i don’t think i could find it again but it was one of the like. EARLY early interviews iirc. or it was just a rumor. this part of the post is a joke anyways LMAO). however this IS a super robot show so i feel like the moon in general is actually a more expected location for me than like. idk. cleveland

everyone pointing out the animation differences maybe indicating different timelines is so funny to me cause like. if it’s NOT intentional, the fans are putting together a list of fixes to make for the bluray on a silver platter LMAO. also god i hope we get a western bluray release, i honestly am considering getting the jp one if it somehow winds up w eng subs though just cause i know it’s such a long shot for CRUNCHYROLL of all motherfuckers to put one together 🥲 discotek ur our only hope………………

i keep thinking abt the like. pacing of the previous fight scenes being reused in ep9 in such a smart way…………like with smith/lulu v superbia - isami/bravern v cupiridas AND with smith/lulu v knuth - isami/bravern v pessimism/vanitas they kept doing the quick jumps between each of the two fights in a way that made it clear that isami and smith were in conversation even if they were doing completely different shit, and then bringing that completely to the forefront this ep while isami is asking smith why he died and at the same time smith is refusing to die bc of his promise with isami. BLEW MY FUCKIN MIND to see the pattern reused like that, i swear to GOD everyone talks about how fun and hype this show is but it’s so damn GOOD too 😭😭 and then after that the fuckin. symmetrical docking ass cut and then later the gattai which has been held off for SO long bc they are no longer separate conversations. JESUS

called my shots too early tho w smith not melting ppl’s minds in a kaworu manner where they convolute the story x1000 to try to make him seem straight 😭 congrats white boy, your days are numbered until ppl start saying you love isami like he’s your pet dog……….also in a related fashion the giant naked smith fanarts are taking me out LMAO

you can tell idk shit abt fuck when it comes to time travel fuckery cause i rly am just here like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ atp LMAO, the serious theorizing is GONE. i trust the show to finish out in a satisfying manner and also in a way that my pea brain can understand and i’m rly looking forward to savouring these last 3 episodes :] and then rewatching the whole thing from the beginning once the remaining twists have been revealed and i Know :3 like not to get way too sentimental w 3 whole episodes left but we are so lucky to be following this story in real time you guys 😭 like i’m just gonna put the same post i made back after episode ONE here cause it’s true but times a million with what we’ve seen so far, truly this is such a special experience to have and i’m so glad this show waited until i got into mecha to get made so that i could like. Understand it yknow. anyways good for january 14 2024 version of me, you are so excited andyet still have NO idea the kind of treat you are in for 😭

“lewis” jumpscare tho omg. i forgot it took me like a week to figure out what the hell was goin on with all the characters first and last names LMAO. anyways everybody go look at sumiisa sekiha love love tenkyouken right now i am no longer asking

[redundantz]

What are your thoughts on how the characters were written for stampede? You sounded kind of :/ about Meryl at one point.

Hello! Yeah it was a bit of a rollercoaster for me personally. ⚠ STAMPEDE SPOILERS ⚠ BUT they really pulled it together in the end i think (for the most part) Since we now know for sure this is a prequel and where its now going after the finale it puts more perspective on things. I have OG Trigun brain so take my own opinions with a grain of salt. I think if people enjoy this new series on its own merits thats wonderful. HOWEVER I still think the series has severe pacing issues and we miss a ton of important character moments imo. And I wish we got to see more interaction with uhh actual humans. After the first 3 eps and then the one with Rollo we basically dont interact with any other humans who live on the planet and its so weird. (also my god we need more fun time in this show was a depression speedrun istg) Have a graph of my emotional journey:

Vash: oh man haha this one is tough. now that the season is over and we got a HUGE payoff with him so I am very happy now but yeahhh. Some parts I was like wow this is Vash he's perfect. But then as the episodes went on I was getting so frustrated. Because he just would stand there giving everyone UwU eyes and not do anything. Especially for his flashback with Knives. Which I understand it was "shock" but he basically stood there with a blank expression the whole time and it was so...??? Being a pacifist didn't mean he is a limp noodle and doesn't take action. Like don't get me wrong he did have a few moments where he fought Livio and the Badlads but that was about it. I think a lot of my frustration might be because he kept using hand to hand combat compared to using his gun which I am used to. again though, they really brought it back in the end 10000% and brought it into perspective so I can forgive some of the previous stuff. Meryl: She was made more cutesy and naïve. Which definitely got on my nerves here and there. But I was okay with it for the most part ( im not immune to cute lol) They got the most important part of her character where she is touched by Vash's convictions, and his love for humanity. She didn't start off jaded and roughened by the planet this time so I think it has a bit less impact in that regard. But I think the best thing they did for her is she is basically the stand in ambassador for humanity and its strength of character. Wolfwood: I don't have to much to say for him personally. but dude needs to have some fun. First ep with him was pretty great but after that was just a lot of angry yelling and nasty looks. Like...for awhile I couldnt even see how him and Vash are friends besides the fact that Vash is nice to him. Him and Meryl almost had more nice moments than both of them. I LOVED finally getting to see more of his backstory though esp with Livio that was so great. But I really wish we got to see how much he cares about kids and him interacting with them. All we would get is NOT THE ORPHANAGE!! but we never get to see it in action really. Besides him giving Zazie a lollypop that one time and the flashbacks but those only included Livio for the most part. Roberto: NGL I loved him he was cynical and grumpy LOL I was pretty offput at first because it felt like he was replacing Milly. I dont think he wasnt really utilized to his full potential though. Especially because he dies later. I feel like we didnt get enough time with him or character moments. I think it could have made his death hit harder. Also just a shame that he was just there to further Meryls arc. But i think he was meant to mirror Meryls drive to help against his pessimism. Milly: millyseason2millyseason2millyseason2!! That's the main group anyway. Thank you for the ask!

[emmamountebanks]

you could put emma and max in kaitlyn and dylan's places and it would still be the same flavor of dynamic.

sassy bad bitch handling the weapons while goofy soft boy hides behind her. max's pessimism cannot beat emma's optimism. she will not let it happen. she will protect this dumb of ass and he has no choice in the matter.

but i also just think about the two of them in the scrapyard. emma is unbothered as hell just bouncing through and max does not want to lose sight of emma because we know how bad his sense of direction is and its like a maze in there. like "please slow down the controls don't let me run that fast emma please"

max finding his car suspended up in the air like "emma dude thats my car they stole my car we need to get it back". once silas attacks emma is screaming at him to do something. max is all frantic like "but thats my car" "max i dont care i am literally going to die think of the emma nation"

he says fuck it and destroys his own car and makes sure to tell her he only did it so she could help him find the way back to the lodge. she takes away the shout out for saving her life she was gonna give him that he didn't know about

[skyandpeople]

Idk if Jimin will be great if he stays in that company unless they are trying to sabotage him to stay with them but Tbh he will end up getting the short end of the stick since they already chose JK to be the one. They will always give JK the most investment bc they believe he will be the break out star of the group is not bc im pessimic but like i said it happened before with Harry and Zayn, Zayn used to be more popular with the GP but Sonic stopped promoting his music/ he was blacklisted+

In the radios, I remember two radio hosts said that they couldnt have Zayn bc they were told to not promote his music, Louis was also the same he had the biggest fandom after H but his music wasnt send to radios and his album was delayed for 3 years and the same goes with JC (JT rival) he was in the same label as JT but his album was delayed a lot and wasnt promoted so Justin would succeed search " the thruth about the sabotage of JC Chasez solo career" for more info + The industry is dirty, Irving (the father of Harry manager has a record of wanting to disband bands to make solo stars he is also one of the most powerful Men in the industry with lots of radio/media and concert arenas/ stadiums conections), Scooter Braun wanted CL to end her promotions with 2NE1 so she could focus on her solo career. The companies always have their favs you can see with Seven the song isnt even that good like Jimin song but he got more chart manipulation and promotion+ And his album are getting restocked, getting everything to be successful at the cost of others and by getting the most promotion and industry support he will be seen more and the GP could gain more fans and become the global super star he wants like JT and Harry did. Jimin has a strong fanbase but he needs also the promotion and help from a company that would focus on him Tbh i hope he could find another company that doesnt see him as JK shadow/cheerleader/rival that needs to be sabotaged. Also about BTS coming back idk they could be a Big Bang and have solo careers and also the group but also could be like other groups (not just western bands) Who said they were gonna go to a hiatus or focus in solo music and then come back but after one member had a lot of success as a solo artist they dont come back anymore or at best just one time again and focus more in their solo careers. Armys saying "BTS are different"makes non sense bc the others were "different" as well but things change. Hi anon, i actually don't know much about 1d, i know zayn he was popular in 2010's and HS has been popular in recent years in the place where im living. So, i didn't know much about how western companies are with their artists, im getting to know recently thanks to scooty and i see how dirty is it hmmm! but this is korean industry right, when i was baby bts fan i was clouded with bh great company, ot7 is forever etc etc but i landed in an ex k-pop idols yt videos where they said how their industry is and how contracts really play imp role in their idol and personal life, i was like seriously? but maybe not for bh/bts they actually built the company so how this is the same i thought. But here we are, we now see how it is ( though it started years ago atleast for jimin) we don't know what contract he has, is he negotiating or leaving we shall wait and see. Tbh, even i want him to leave but for that, the other company has to be if not more atleast equally powerful like hybe and really interested to invest in him and have artistic freedom because i don't think hybe will say tata bye :D when he leaves, they gonna stir up shit against him and that other company has to protect him at all costs. So, its waiting game nw, even if he is in this same company i take it as he said : i can make my own way. About bts coming back, yeah agreed they may do 1/2 album and finally say bye (ms plays a role here too ig).

Chapter 3

Fire

The boat rocked senselessly throughout the waters as the monster closed in. It dives under you again causing a light bulb to appear above your head.

"Leon, does this boat have an anchor?" You asked loudly, holding for dear life as Leon attempted to drive opposite to the raging monster.

"Why is an anchor important right now?" He inquires.

Suddenly,  the boat was pulled in the opposite direction, almost knocking you into the deadly waters.

"Fuck! He's hooked to the anchor!" You yelled, you desperately looked around for something, not wanting to waste bullets. As your eyes scanned the boat, Leon was in front of you, holding a spear.

"We use these."

The boat was pulled again. This time both Leon and you fell atop the other. Opening your eyes, you realize Leon took the brunt of your weight. You quickly snapped out of it when Leon launched you to your feet. You hastily grabbed one of the spears from him.

"How the hell are we gonna kill this thing? Its about the size of a whale!" You quipped. Leon looked over at you, "we have to wait for it to come to us." You had sworn the look of forced pride on your face shredded into disappointment, then fear.

"I'm sorry wh-"

"--Too late, look out!" Leon yelled interrupting you as to warn you of the massive pile of flesh you thought at first was a shark.

Leon threw his spear nailing it right in its mouth, picking up another one before you forced your spear to fly.

"Keep going!" He yelled. The both of you continued this. Waiting for it and then striking once it got too close. This was a constant, until finally one last hit simultaneously caused the monster to bellow in agony while flailing about the water leaving huge waves in its wake.

Then, it finally screamed its way into the deep sea before sinking to the bottom.

"Well, we survived." Leon looked over at you, remembering your pessimism from earlier. You hesitated before finally letting out a laugh. One that's never been heard by his ears before.

"Yea, I'll be calling this the old river of the monster whale." You spoke jokingly. Leon let out a small smirk before grabbing your hand and helping you to land. Once on the docks you took a deep breath, walking further than you had thought.

"Argh!" You heard Leon cry out, turning on your heels and running over to the now hunched over man. You tried holding onto him realizing he was going down, or so you thought. Leon pushed passed you and into a cabin that was right up ahead.

"Fuck ahh!" Leon's cries were worse and now he couldn't stand.

"Leon! What do I do?!" You cried out, worried your partner won't heal as quickly as you do. He finally stopped making noise as his body slumped onto the old wooden floor. Your mind told you to panic, and you did for a moment. However, you realized that he's still breathing. Meaning he's only lost consciousness for now.

"Dont worry, you'll be fine." You spoke to him softly not knowing if he could hear you or not. You lunged his body up by his underarms, struggling at first causing you to become irritated.

"Goddammit just lift him!" At that moment you lifted him as if he were a feather and placed him onto the cot you'd seen in the corner. Once he was placed, you sat on the floor beside him, back against the side of the cot. You ended up losing track of time, falling asleep in your arms.

•••

Six Hours Later

"Cadou, Cadou." You heard Leon's voice then felt a shake to your shoulder.

"F/n." He said sternly causing your eyes to slam open. You panicked not knowing what time it was, or even how long it'd been. You felt a hand on your arm, looking over to see Leon's fully awakened face, causing your eyes to widen in relief. You were so overcome with joy you jumped up and wrapped your arms around his neck.

"Woah all this over me?" He hesitated before holding you back just as tightly. After a moment you let go and began staring daggers at him.

"Don't let it get to your head." You spoke coldly, standing up to brush yourself off. "You're a lousy patient." You chided, pulling out your pistol to clean.

Leon chuckled softly before pulling out his transmitter to answer the call from Hunnigan.

•••

Leon obtained an object that resembles the cult groups insignia, giving you and Leon a lead. So when the two of you finally knew the location of said church, you weren't expecting to be locked in by large wooden gates.

"Leon, what the hell!" You shouted in confusion. You were locked in from all sides. A loud creaking caused both you and Leon's eyes to dart ahead to massive double doors.

"Rapido rapido!" You heard men yelling from inside slowly making their way out, holding onto to dear life, pulling a rope.

"Cadou get back!" Leon yelled. He grabbed ahold of your arm yanking you slightly behind him.

Finally the end of the rope appeared.

A giant troll looking creature stumbled out from between the double doors, monstrously screaming. It began to attack the locals who let it out. Bashing and tearing apart anyone in his way.

You didn't realize how close he'd gotten as he swooped his large arm down towards you.

"Cadou move! Now!" Leon shouted before tackling you to the ground. His eyes searched yours, but only for a few seconds before he stood to his feet bringing you along.

"No time for mistakes." Leon attempted shooting it, but nothing seemed to stun the giant. The creature went for Leon again, but Leon was quick at dodging in the opposite direction before throwing something at the troll.

"Grenade!"

Knowing what that meant. You dived away from the area immediately. Soon an explosion was sounded, defening you from afar.  You peaked up from the ground to see It seemed to take the monster to its knees, but not kill it.

You and Leon began shooting the beast in its stunned form. However it stood to its feet again going after you this time. You had no explosives on you, so you attempted to keep him busy by running, hoping you wouldn't to curse your legs for giving out. To your surprise, this seemed to work allowing Leon time to unload his last explosive.

Stunning the monster, your bullets penetrate the tough skin of the creature, screaming out in pain for the final time. You and Leon believed you had this thing pinned, but then it stood up and close-lined Leon for all he was worth. His body flying across the courtyard into the dirt.

Now it was face to face with you. You looked over to Leon and he wasn't moving, not even coughing. Sadness made it's way into your soul, time felt as if it could go forever. Then anger, hellfire.

You screamed falling to your knees as red fiery flames spread from you to the creature. A powerful force blowing the creature and all other enemies to smithereens.

Looking up at your creation, you worried if Leon's body was caught in the cross fire. You pushed passed your confusion and climbed to your feet before running over to him, dropping to your knees again, Immediately feeling his pulse.

Badum

Badum

Badum

You cursed in relief feeling his skin jump on your fingers. "Leon, please wake up." You cried out, worried his heart beat would stop any second.

"Leon!!"

"Quiet down, im alive." He spoke weakly, beginning to stand to his feet. You were holding onto his shoulders, helping him to his feet.

"Is anything broken?" You asked voice shivering. You soon realized how your body trembled at the thought of him...gone.. and it didn't feel right. He was your friend- at least after what you'd been through. You wouldn't let anything happen to him. Your thoughts were bouncing around so quickly that you hadn't realized you'd been staring directly at Leon this entire time only to notice his blues staring right back.

"S-sorry." You twisted away from him.

"Hey." You felt his hand on your shoulder. "I don't know what you did, but thank you, Cadou." He looked into your orbs sincerely, securing a small bond spoken between eyes.

"Nothings broken right?" You asked again.

Leon scoffed, smirking lightly. "Not that i know of." You helped Leon stand to his feet, before the two of you faced the known direction of the church. It was time to finally retrieve the presidents daughter.

evil vent below

Here's what fucking gets me:

[Post writing this i realize how horrible this all is. But also it's my writing diary where i can vent all my horrible thoughts so they never haunt me again so. Whatever. You get a peek into my heart and you'll see just how ugly it is. So that u can later see how much i work in eradicating that ugliness]

i am so jealous of my friend. So so so so so jealous. despite her overwhelmingly negative personality (to be fair, mostly on her bad days. she will tell you to your face unprompted how much she wants to kill herself but on a good day she'll be the sweetest and be a good friend) she managed to steal the hearts of everyone in the office. She is the most beloved coworker in all of the office honestly.

While being... Her.

Here's another thing: we are... incredibly similar in some aspects. First off, looks. Height even. We're on the same range of How We Look. We have the same ovaries problem even. Then it's her personality which is incredibly reminiscent of how i was circa 2016-2019(?) Then it's how much she doesn't seem to like herself. I can heavily relate, including her anxiety and pessimism. There's aspects of me i can't help but see in her.

So when she's so beloved by everyone i just.

My beef isn't that i find it hard to believe. My beef is that while being so similar, and me being a far more positive and cheerful contrast to her... then... i never managed to get so many people in the office to be ride or die with me. Mostly because I'm more reserved i guess. I wonder if people think I'm fake or anything, because i will smile and laugh even though i don't particularly want to and i just want people to give me A Good Grade In socializing, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

So i can't help but be jealous of that.

Because imagine? If i was so outwardly unpleasant on my bad days as she is, so negative and actively suicidal and i MADE IT everyone's knowledge??????

...would people... love me then? would people love the worst version of myself, which ironically would maybe be the truer version of me i can show them?

if i also joined in her suicide "jokes" would she love me too then? instead of being so cold with me when im just trying to be positive? would she stop hating me then?

I dont know if she hates me. I've convinced myself she does. Because... i could never treat someone else the way she sometimes treats me.

Like a nuisance in her life.

Even though i generally try to stay out of her way because the last thing i want is to bother her.

...am i fake? what kind of friendship is this? One where i cheerfully say good morning to her every day and i only receive a cold hello before she proceeds to ignore me most of the day? Where she'll avoid talking to me? Where she clearly isn't interested in what i have to say because I'm no longer part of that office branch?

...i don't know. I'm sure most of these feelings of mine are just my BPD blinding me to reality.

But still.

I can't help but be jealous.

Because i want to be loved.

But clearly putting on the best face i can and being positive and cheerful isn't... working. For anyone. Maybe i do come across as fake. Maybe everyone can tell i am a freak and a weirdo and some kind of bug no one has had the pleasure to squash with their foot.

...i dont know.

But i refuse to accept that me rejecting the idea that i have to hate myself is something bad.

I will never die, i will live forever. I say this because i will never let my suicidal thoughts take over me ever again. Not like they used to. Never again.

And i want to be happy! And cheerful! I do enjoy giving everyone a smile because i think life is wonderful, AND I'M DOING MY BEST to finally appreciate that!!

I don't care if i end up alone forever. I will always try to do what's best for me. And what's best for me is to never give in to my worst tendencies.

That should include obsessing over my friend. Who technically has only done me wrong once or twice. And I'll. Forgive. Sorta.

I can never forgive but i can try to move on. Because normal people don't obsess over these things! I want to be normal!

Sigh.

One day I'll leave this place. And live alone. And be happy with myself because i will have somewhere where to drop all my facades and just. Relax. Literally unmask. And rest.

The truth is, i don't know what makes me Me. What does Snaily-like means?

Being so fundamentally broken meant that i had to pick up the pieces and pretend to be A Person.

And that person is just a shell, i think. I do have thoughts and interests. But they aren't... Grand.

Or easy to perceive from the outside i think, which makes me boring.

Would YOU be ride or die for a boring person?

Why would you? What's the incentive there?

Love is something that has to be won, right?

People don't love you unless you give them a reason to. Unless you make yourself useful. Unless you make yourself loveable.

...

Those are bad thoughts.

All of these are bad thoughts.

In any case.

Back to the point.

1. It hurt me that this guy only asked me about my friend. Not even a hi for me first.

2. When that hurt me, it made me think about all of this.

3. Also i did end up telling him everything he needed to get her a good bday present. It was the right thing to do.

4. Now i just spent the last 15 minutes wallowing in my own mysery before going "ok we are done. Moving on"

5. Here's the part where we move on! We close this post. We forget this incident. And we forget we ever had these horrible thoughts in the first place

[kitkatpancakestack]

Having watched 9-1-1 since S1, and in this case specifically since S2, I feel like one becomes desensitized to whatever this nonsense is between Buck and Eddie. I know this bc sometimes I'll be watching a clip or an episode and I'm like "ah yes so sweet, Eddie and Buck are each other's person" but THE WAY their story is told, it's easy to forget how this shit must look to the outside/casual viewer!

If you're like me and find yourself in need of a vibe check because these two dumbasses got you spiraling, here's a list of honest to God canon things this show has delivered:

🤔Buck and Eddie took all of half a day on the job together before they were ride or die BFFLs

🤔Outside the major disaster event, the second plot-focused episode of S2 is Buck doing the absolute most for Eddie for no other reason than he worships the ground Eddie walks on. In this episode we get the unbelievably subtextual conversation about "they're not my type" and "not mine either....at least not anymore" and *shoulder bumps*; we get Buck going with Eddie (???) to the hospital, Buck basically planning out a whole fun day at the firehouse for Chris, Buck introducing Eddie to Carla......I mean......

🤔Eddie was railing his wife most of S2 and still was so, so invested in Buck (he brought him to visit Santa with Chris????)

🤔"Are we the only people we know who don't have kids? .......BUCK!" *Switch to Buck about to risk it all for his future son*

🤔Buck and Eddie literally stare for about 10 solid seconds across space and time when Chris is found post-tsunami and it's so intense I have to look away!?

🤔Eddie tells Buck there is nobody he trusts with his son more than him. Nobody in the whole entire world. One in 7 billion babeyyyy.

🤔Oh yeah, they have an entire divorce/reconciliation plotline masquerading as the lawsuit arc

🤔They behave especially homoerotically in Buck's kitchen, but that's none of my business I guess ☕

🤔Buck bi-panics through all five stages of grief when he realizes he cannot dig to Eddie with his own bare hands

🤔Abby says "he (Buck) moved on a long time ago" and then just immediate cut to Buck talking about Christopher going to summer camp. Please, Tim, at least try to make these parallels less obvious I mean🙄

🤔Eddie is #disgusted at Abby and v protective over Buck, and I don't have the emotional capacity to detail the symbolism of Abby moving away and Eddie stepping forward (taking her place???) smh

🤔Buckley-Diaz domestic excellence literally in a literal episode literally titled Future Tense

🤔Eddie comes home from his date to *shocking revelation* Buck appearing from behind the wall! The scorned lover! And he tucked Chris into bed! Eddie calls Buck a miracle worker! The lighting is warm and suggestive! I am not supposed to view this at least a little bit romantically!?

🤔Christopher is feeling sad and insecure and he is mad at Himbo Dad #1 so he runs to Himbo Dad #2 bc he knows how to work the system

🤔In an episode titled "Parenthood," despite the fact that Buck is not a parent, they really do be putting him in situations to share his Big Opinions on parenting, usually in tandem with Eddie? @Tim share your location I just wanna talk

🤔Treasure Hunt aka How To Pine Quietly For Your Best Friend and Instead Disguise It As Petty Jealousy, written by Eddie Diaz

🤔*slow, deep breath* Eddie got shot in broad fucking daylight but wait Buck is there too? Oh and you're gonna splatter him with Eddie's blood in a moment that is so perversely intimate and then you're gonna utilize the music in the scene to illustrate how Buck and Eddie are caught in this one moment together separate from literally the rest of the world? Okay cool cool cool cool cool cool cool —

🤔Wait wait Eddie REACHES for Buck????

🤔You're telling me Eddie fights off the sweet relief of unconsciousness to make sure Buck isn't hurt?

🤔They really let Buck say "Just stay with me" and "I need you to hang on" Like That and Eddie turns his head to look at Buck, the last thing he sees before the sweet void takes him????

🤔Buck said "I know what's best for Christopher" this whole entire episode and not a single person found this surprising

🤔Buck and Taylor kiss and Eddie's comatose gay heart says, "miss me with that straight shit" and wakes up immediately

🤔Eddie waits to video chat with Chris until Buck is in the room and also Ana girl where'd you go? I thought this was your sERioUs bOyFRiEnD

🤔Eddie Diaz said he values and appreciates and loves his best friend and he is going to make it everybody's problem *changes will*

🤔"You act like you're expendable, but you're wrong" are actual words between these two men that actually played on screens everywhere at 8:57pm EST on FOX

🤔The very last plot-focused scene of the season (we do not count the montage however it is very cute) is this moment bw Buck and Eddie.

If you, too, realized you became desensitized to the literal soulmate narrative between these two, consider yourself vibe checked!

Huntlow👀

OOOO this is gonna be fun..... despite my love for toh ive never rlly considered huntlow as a ship. thank u for the ask !!

who is more likely to hurt the other?

hunter is a fool (affectionate) w/ no social skills so there is NO way he has not unintentionally fucked up and had to spend the next 24 hours making it up to willow

who is emotionally stronger?

hunter would like to think it's him. it is not

who is physically stronger?

i'd say willow. hunter's got training and experience but willow's got her Cool Plant Magic behind her as well

who is more likely to break a bone?

they have both broken several bones over their lives and i will not accept any other answer

who knows best what to say to upset the other?

id say they both know each other well enough to know What buttons to push - it's just a matter of If and When

who is more likely to apologise first after an argument?

hunter swears he's never going to speak to willow again and then 20 minutes later he's writing a shitty text apology begging for her forgiveness

who treats who's wounds more often?

they are both chaos children who exasperatedly look after each other

who is in constant need of comfort?

hunter: i am a well adjusted individual. i was raised in the emperor's coven, for titan's sake! also hunter: today i told willow a joke and she only laughed for approximately two and a half seconds. i think she wants to break up with me gus, who has been listening to him cry for 15 minutes straight: yeah man. you better up your joke game

who gets more jealous?

idk if Jealous is the right word but hunter definitely strikes me as the type to be self-conscious abt his worth

who's more likely to walk out on the other?

we have seen on multiple occasions that hunter's response to Conflict is to Dip. HOWEVER i'd argue that w/ people he trusts (e.g. willow and the rest of the hexsquad) he'd be more willing to try and stick a hard situation through honestly

who will propose?

hot take: marriage is just One of Those Things hunter has never heard of being a ward of the local cult. willow proposes and he's like "haha cool. i dont know what this means"

who has the most difficult parents?

..... gestures at belos

who initiates hand-holding when they're out in public?

hm. we have seen that hunter has a Thing going on with his hands however we have not been given lore on WHY. therefore i propose: bumping shoulders. it seems like their vibe alternatively: willow would initiate handholding but always w/ the understanding that hunter could refuse

who comes up for the other all the time?

they are texting each other 24/7 idk what to tell you

who hogs the blankets?

theyre sitting on the couch watching a movie and willow is swaddled in like 3 different blankets and hunter is lowkey freezing but he refuses to steal even one because 1) he is Tough. and 2) willow looks so content <3

who gets more sad?

hmmm.... depends on the context. when willow is upset her emotions have always been rlly strong however i think all things considered she has a pretty good hold on them. she's also consciously trying to be positive through each day - on the other hand, hunter has been the Lord of Pessimism for years however bc of that being Sad has just become a Normal thing for him.

who is better at cheering the other up?

they're both good at it just in different ways. willow is good at offering genuine comfort and advice. hunter manages to comfort her because his attempt at comfort is just so laughably bad that it takes away from the pain

who's the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes?

replace "silly jokes" with "fucked up fact / history presented as though it is normal" and willow is regularly reminding hunter that "hey being left at the top of a mountain isnt actually a healthy childhood experience"

who is more streetwise?

i think they're both streetwise in their own ways - hunter's been Trained in survival situations and other fucked up things in the emperor's coven. he knows how to look after himself after he escapes the coven. willow however - she didnt grow up with those experiences but she HAS been through a lot in her own right and she knows how to handle herself.

who is more wise?

willow 100%. she has common sense. hunter does not

who's the shyest?

hunter Thinks he's confident but when it comes to Emotions and Sappy Things (trademark) he is Not

who boasts about the other more?

hunter thinks his gf is the coolest witch alive

who sits on who's lap?

picture this: hunter laying w/ his head on willow's lap gazing up at her adoringly while she talks abt her latest class

[whogavemoththerighttohyperfix]

how about a relationship analysis of Mirabel's individual relationship with her fam, please?

I’m gonna put my theory on the relationship with each family member at the top and my theory’s at the bottom

Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days I got busy anyway as always feel free to send be drawing requests/theory ideas/analysis ideas

Luisa, honestly I think Luisa and Mirabel have a good relationship, Luisa seems to care a lot about Mirabel and seems to actually listen to her but at the same time I think she will accidentally leave her out a lot like the scene where the family is all standing together while Mirabel stands by herself.

Isabela, I think isabela and Mirabel have the ‘worst’ relationship out of the family with how different they are from each other in personality and their place in the house. I actually think isabela is aware on how Mirabel is and wants to help but is always busy with keeping her place as the perfect madrigal. On the other hand I think Mirabel knows isabela knows but thinks she dosent care enough to help her.

Antonio, Antonio and Mirabel seem to have the best relationship in the family probably because they’ve share a room for years. I also like to think that since Antonio is described as the introvert he can get overwhelmed by how loud the family can be (not in a bad way it just gets alot) and Mirabel is a bit more calm.Though I feel like Mirabel can get a bit jealous of Antonio though with him getting powers and her not but she doesn’t blame him at all.

Camilo, we have basically nothing on Mirabel and Camilo relationship so I’m just kind of going off nothing right now but I think they might have a nice relationship, they aren’t close but they really care about each other cause their family and they’ve grown up together. I think Camilo would be kind of annoyed at the thought of Mirabel having a closer relationship to Antonio because he’s his brother not her but not that much.

Delores, just like Camilo we dont have basically any information about their relationship so it’s just be guessing again but I think Delores and Mirabel have a kind of nice relationship. Delores loves Mirabel because their family but she can also get really mad about how close she is to Antonio because Delores is ment to be his big sister not Mirabel.

Pepa and Felix, we haven’t seen any of their relationship with Mirabel yet so just guessing, I think Pepa and Felix after Mirabel was shown to not have any powers got really worried about Antonio not having any powers which to Mirabel might come across as them not liking her. I also think she might have a nice relationship with Felix despite it considering he dosent have any powers, it might now be the same reason as her but I think it would be comforting

Julieta and Agustin, I think they’ll have a really nice relationship like shown in the trailer, I think both julieta and Agustin remind Mirabel that she’s just as special as them and they love her no matter what but like the rest of the family they’ll forget her like the scene where Mirabel is standing alone and like in the photo. Other than that though I do think they try their best to include her. I also think like Felix she’ll have a good relationship with Agustin because of him not having powers as well.

Abuela alma, other than Isabella I think Mirabel will have the worst relationship with alma, maybe because Mirabel sort of blames her not having powers even though she knows Alma couldn’t have helped that. I’ve probably got the least to say on alma all I know is that their relationship probably isn’t good

Bruno, honestly I think their relationship will be kind of cute with mirabels optimism and Bruno’s pessimism, I think he’ll pretend not to like her but really he’s grown really attached and cares a lot about her. I think they’ll be closer with them both feeling excluded from the rest of the family. Bruno seems like at first he just wants to help the family so no one will hate him anymore but as the adventure goes on he’ll do it more for the family.

Theories time

Ive also seen this picture going around a lot and a lot of people are saying they think it’s of Mirabel asking for alma to try the gift ceremony again because the house isn’t out of magic and I think that would be really cool but I think it’s more Mirabel telling alma (who can’t see the cracks) about the cracks getting worse

I think when their powers start to go away their will be side affects because their so used to having them like maybe Delores can barely hear because she’s so used to everything being amplified or Camilo can barely interact with people because he’s so used to being someone else when he does it.

Since it’s been said a lot that only Mirabel can see the cracks in the wall I think it would be really sad if they thought she was making it up to ruin Antonio’s party out of jealously.

When they finally see the cracks it’s because Mirabel snaps at them and all of a sudden they finally see the cracks she’s been talking about and know that Mirabel hasn’t been lying and they’ve been angry at her for nothing.

After the family makes Mirabel take the picture I think she’ll walk away clearly about to cry and no one notices but Antonio who tries to go after her only to be held back by the family still celebrating.

The scene where the house really starts to crack and they try to get out in the trailer will be right before mirabel goes off on her own adventure and I think No one in the family in the family will know where she’s went until Antonio leaves a note when he goes after her

I think at the wedding when Bruno gives everyone visions it’s because someone yells at him for being their and he loses control of his powers because he’s angry/sad and then it makes everyone hate him more.

After the wedding I don’t think Bruno wants to be around his family anymore in fear of him hurting them or constantly giving them visions. So when he sees that the family will loose their magic he comes almost too late to warn them and it’s just before the house completely brakes down

Even though the family says they hate Bruno i think pepa, Julietta or alma have been caught more than once looking at old photos of him and his place on the family tree because they miss him but no one ever talks about it.

The family won’t be happy to learn that Antonio and Mirabel are with Bruno because of how much they “don’t like him” but even as they all say how their worried about them being with him I think they’ll all be kind of great full because they know they he wouldn’t hurt them on purpose

[my-mt-heart]

To be honest i think Gimple is better writer than Angela... As storyteller i mean. Maybe i forgot how i whined about him in past lol and how bad he was with caryl especially but i think having Gimple committed and focused on more characters than just Rick and Negan (which happened during s7-8) and especially on mains like caryl would make him write better than Angela. Of course she's not awful or something and she's better as showrunner in case of management and organization than Gimple. Much much better. I understand why cast and others love her, she listens to them, takes their ideas sometimes, don't force them in very rough way Gimple did ( when he tried to force David Morrissey to scream in that scene "liar" but David said he saw his character differently and didn't do it, so Gimple made sure DM was blackmailed later) Angela totally cares about process and stuff but she can't write stories without dropping them. So many things just come from nowhere and dissappear into nowhere if she feels they're not needed. Continuity sucks and major feeling from her writing is that she loses general idea creating some side "fun" stuff which has lack of purpose for development of story or character. Gimple was bad at slow playing his ideas out but he tried to not drop them.

So i dont know. I guess this pessimism in many carylers come from way Angela does things and many of us concerned she will get rid of fans before spinoff happens doing things like this (not only what i mentioned but other stuff her manner of writing has) and saying that they won't watch is defensive mechanism for some fans. They will watch, they're scared it won't happen.

I'm not defending that anon in any way but i feel hopelessness since 10b but it gets stronger with 10c and now with new season. So idk probably Gimple and Kang running spinoff together could be good news, or they will fail it even worse together. We'll see. i just hope they won't screw fanbase before ship goes into big waters

They both have their strengths and weaknesses is what I will say. At least in the Kang era, Caryl's relationship is getting the attention it deserves. There is a plan set in motion, and trust me, I understand that it's hard and goes against the way we are meant to watch television, but I wish more people would at least try to see the bigger picture and look forward to what's clearly to come. Neither Kang nor Gimple are going to be responsible for ruining the spinoff before it starts, it's fans who are jumping to irrational conclusions right away and claiming it's going to suck.

hc on tog characters’ zodiac sign (according to me and me only lol)

i see many people are on this topic now and i have to join… astrology is my jam

andy: CAPRICORN SUN FOR SURE!! virgo moon bc… pessimism when things have gone not according to plan lmao. some earth sign (again) rising, maybe capricorn or virgo. andy literally screams earth sign, but she probably has a scorpio placement somewhere (mars, i think?)

booker: someone has said he’s leo and i agree! leo ppl have strong opinion and they’re always try to the things they think are right (leo is also known for being loyal, but NO BAD TALKING ABOUT MY DEPRESSED RAT MAN HERE) he can be depressed esp. about family so probably cancer moon or venus, and probably aries rising bc at first glance in the movie he seemed confident and active right?

joe: LIBRAAAAAAA (not bc im a libra myself) but libra is the sign known for being peaceful, romantic and artistic (maybe libra in venus too). taurus moon bc he’s probably a very patient person (imagine stuck with nicolo during their early time together lmao), and sag rising?? he seems pretty fun, honest and relaxed

nicky: TRUST ME HE’S PISCES. nicky believes in kindness and humanity, but can also be very sensitive and secretive too. scorpio moon bc he believes in change and kinda protective? and maybe aquarius rising not only bc aquarius is a sign of humanitarianism but look at him… does he looks like he gives a f about sense of style lol (overall nicky gives me very big water sign vibe)

nile: my girl’s aries baby for sure: strong, fearless and rebellious!! also cancer moon like booker from her sentimental nature and love for family. i think she’s gemini rising: restless, witty and very versatile.

bonus for quynh: we dont know much about her character in the movieverse but i think she exudes scorpio energy: strong, fierce, unyielding and sooo magnetic
