Rodya has a single seat and that's so sad (not like that stops her from hanging around with other sinners though)

Dude when I was like 10 I had such a hard core crush on Dave Lister. And tbh even as an adult, sure I’d never date his slob ass but he’s still a cutie.

I mean look at him

speaking of ocd

Here's the post about scrupulosity!

OCD is best known for germaphobia and hoarding and religious scrupulosity, all of which I've dealt with in varying degrees, but I think it's less well-known that religious scrupulosity is basically a form of moral scrupulosity, and that it can take other shapes as well.

Sidebar: scrupulosity as a word just means an obsessive, overwhelming anxiety/fear of being bad, for whatever bad means to you. You can probably guess why it often hijacks religious beliefs, and why it loves to square dance with intrusive thoughts.

In practice, this means constantly feeling like I'm not doing enough: for new people, for friends, for mutuals, for the fandom as a whole. I want to be welcoming and encouraging. I want to read and chat with new writers so they write more! I want to keep up with my friends' fics! I want to read other fics just because they look interesting! And of course if I'm reading, I want to be commenting and live reacting and reccing on tumblr! I want to gift drabbles and fanart and reaction fics to people so they know how awesome they and their work are!

(also I want to write my own fics and draw my own art, and I'm really not good at pushing my own work because I'm always fighting the idea that it's selfish to want people to read my work.)

There's a reason Mr Rogers is so prominent on my ancestor altar, y'all, and it's because I want to be a good person so fucking bad. It's because in my heart and soul there's a part of me that's constantly certain that I'm a fucked up, horrible monster and if people like me it's only because I'm fooling them.

I know I maybe over-identify with Xaden, okay? He knows he's going to be the bad guy for a lot of people no matter what he does, and he still does everything he can, and he gets shit on for it. I think about his comments in Samara, about how people are fuckheads to him but he doesn't mind because they go easier on Garrick.

One of the things that's come up when I write Xaden more than once is projecting my own insecurities onto him. The certainty that he can never do enough. The fear that he really is the monster people see when they look at him, and no amount of… well, no amount of anything is going to fix that.

There's a reason he's fascinated by Violet telling him he's a good person.

I really, really struggle when people talk about how Xaden is a terrible person and an awful friend and everyone else would be better off without him because I feel like that's true of me too.

Disclaimer: I know that's not the same thing, and people are entitled to their interpretations of the characters! This is just me talking about what goes on in my head. The ways my brain lies to me ultimately have nothing to do with the way people write fic. If it doesn't latch on to this, it would (and does) latch onto something else.

I still don't have a point. I'm just finding it helpful to write this stuff out and work through it, and some people seem to have found the first post helpful to read so! Let's be vulnerable.

All Grown Up

Teeth and Syrena have a complicated relationship. He is her bodyguard, meant to protect her physical body until a spirit called the Hound is ready to take it over. Growing up he was like a brother to her. He felt conflicted about his job….until Syrena ran away, leaving him to face brutal punishment from the Hound for letting its prized meat-suit escape. Teeth barely survived. He’s never forgiven Syrena for that.

Now they’ve reunited as adults. Though Syrena didn’t know what would happen to Teeth when she left, he considers their familial bond dead and regards her only as a pig for slaughter. That is, until he sees she has a new big brother/protector figure in her life (Amond). Teeth insists he doesn’t care that he’s been replaced.

But that’s not quite true.

Talanah and Drakka musing of the day:

I've been thinking about ways Talanah and Drakka could have met in the game again. While I already talked about how they could have met after Talanah's venture with Amadis when she's on her way back east, I realized that they could have met just as easily much earlier.

In the game, there are 2 ways how Talanah gets to Camp Nowhere in the Desert Clan lands, depending on whether or not you have already completed another side quest.

Without completing the cave side quest first, Talanah goes to the Base and from there heads south to the camp. Most likely she follows a similar route as Aloy in the game which makes her pass Arrowhand and takes her through the same canyon where Drakka's squad gets attacked by the Thunderjaw. So Talanah could catch a glimpse at Drakka while she sneaks past Arrowhand or run into him at the canyon on her way to the camp.

If Talanah uses the cave/tunnel to get to Camp Nowhere, she won't pass Arrowhand, but the camp isn't that far away located from the canyon with the Thunderjaw attack (maybe it is, but it looks close), so there she could hear about a Thunderjaw roaming the area and threatening the camp's safety, and then decide to go hunting while waiting for Aloy to show up and voilà, another perfect opportunity to run into Drakka and save his pretty but dumb ass.

Even though she avoids confrontations with Tenakth, I doubt she would stand by and just watch Drakka's squad getting crushed by the Thunderjaw, so I can totally AU without regret that she comes to their rescue or that it's her and not Aloy who goes with Drakka on the Thirst for the Hunt quest.

Stupid little map to illustrate my mad rambling:
