#the popcorns are falling out

[orangesand-lemons-234]

Update: The popcorn bag has burst.

Anyways, Albert, who shoves his hands in his pockets and sits on his knees whenever he feels the need to stim or move because he thinks it's embarrassing and feels the need to hide it away.

But then Race starts to take note of this and tries to show him that stimming is okay and a totally normal occurrence by holding his hands away from his pockets and stimming along with him if he ever does within his vicinity.

Something that's starting to happen more often is Albert letting it out at night. They'd both be lying in bed, and Albert would hit his fists against his thighs and shake his foot repeatedly to regulate after a long day.

Race would always wrap his arms around him tightly to apply pressure and help out a little when he does the above.

GIW Agent, attempting an interrogation: You see my problem here. I mean, how am I supposed to know if you're a human that's part ghost... or ghost that's part human.

Danny, shrugging: maybe you should flip a coin?

Recently, I've seen the take going around that you can't be, say, kistunekin and Japanese-American, or faekin and Irish, etc. because it's just you as a human from an ethnic group projecting onto a cultural concept that's meaningful to you and mistaking that for a kintype when it's not. At the risk of starting drama, I am here to ask how one would tell the difference between projecting onto a cultural concept and being 'kin? Asking for a me.

..........Well, I've certainly heard the idea that you can't be [x] without being from [y linked culture] (because that's "cultural appropriation," even when it's... not), but this is the first time I've heard the opposite! Guess nobody's allowed to be a creature from a specific mythos at all anymore lmao

Genuinely I do not know what to tell you other than that is a fucking bonkers thing to say to someone, where the fuck are you hearing this, what wild circle of alterhuman drama am I missing out on. We have graduated from "You can't kin outside your race" to "You can only kin outside your race," what the genuine actual fuck, oh my gods I have been laughing about this for ten minutes now

*deep breath* Okay, sorry, sorry, I'm taking this seriously, I promise.

I am genuinely sorry that you have apparently been made to feel like you're not allowed to have a kintype from within your own culture, but - seriously, genuinely, I need you to understand that that is a RIDICULOUS thing for these people to have said, even by alterhuman drama standards, What The Fuck. There is no reason on God's green earth that you would have to be any more careful about mistaking "projecting onto a cultural concept" for a kintype than literally anyone else would be - like, that's a normal part of the questioning process, "is this actually a kintype or is it something else".

(To which the answer unfortunately is basically "nobody can tell you that except you," typically by answering questions like "does it make me happier to be seen as/referred to as [x]" and "does it feel deeply, intrinsically Right to imagine myself as [x]", etc.)

Hopefully that's at least comforting, if not especially helpful?

my head is filled with static and im kicking myself for sounding muffled

i haven't said enough. i've said too much. it's all a blur. i have to reread everything. i have to hear it all twice. too loud. too quiet. i can hear my sister laughing with her friends in the other room. i don't hear my mom's snores through the ajar door. she's silent. it's silent. i hear the wind. it's a cacophony. how can i hear so acutely and yet not hear a thing? why do i feel like i've just said something catastrophically out of line even though i've said nothing? did i say something? did i say something that matters? why is it quiet? what happened? what did i say?

i can feel the hair on my arms. it hurts. it hurts. my eyes hurt too. my ears are ringing and i can hear the blood rushing through them. i dont hear what i say. i dont listen. and then people go quiet. and the quiet is so loud.

why is it quiet

why am i quiet

why is everything so loud and so soft

how am i supposed to know how i feel

how am i supposed to know how they feel

when it's all

so

quiet?

kicking my feet giggling at the winter performance rehearsal dynamics of neji antagonizing the class for their own good, ignoring his own issues; kisa being the concerned angel who flocks to the people who need help in response, ignoring her own issues; and mitsuki flailing at trying to be a good senpai and using his kisa and neji radars as a crutch to figure out what obstacles to remove so the class can finally give him and kisa space to work out their problems (of course, this does not happen. so he's forced to improv onstage as rukiora. oh the irony of mitsu being a very private person, forced to resolve his personal relationship issues in front of an audience)

no bc once you start to imagine Noah just observing his friends with a bowl of popcorn whenever he’s “not there” that’s when the whole book series gets ten times funnier

Workin on fleshing out the circus AU..

[scramble-crossing]

My ideal "Neku and Sho are forced to be partners in a game as it was set up in A New Day" dynamic is both of them being intelligent, resourceful people on their own, but somehow when they come together it completely cancels out and they end up pulling some of the dumbest shit imaginable while Coco watches. She never stops them. Not because she doesn't know better, but because she thinks it's funny.

one of my kindergarteners told me that this morning she and her mom put a picnic blanket out on their lawn and watched the sun come up. thought you all might want to know :)

I wish there was a fic about Steph constantly overworking himself and the team banding together to take care of him, but having to do it sneakily because he refuses overt offers of support.
