Hi shameless bid for affection here because life sucks right now but you guys like me right? Like yall like me on here and what I have to say right

[babacontainsmultitudes]

Great teen talk overall, but honestly I was particularly interested in what Matt had to say about where Lincoln is at right now (and that we might get a better glimpse into this next episode? Which has me both nervous and excited but I'm trying not to think about it *too* much cause I'm already super nervous about how things are gonna pan out for the twins next episode).

It all tracks- Lincoln's increasingly nihilistic view of the world impeding on his ability to feel much of anything but nevertheless caring about how *his friends* are feeling and what they want. Being too deep in a dissociative state to process his own grief (and everything else) but caring that *Normal* is sad and doing what he can to help him.

I think Lincoln is a funny and incredibly fascinating character because if you look at his words, honestly no one can deliver a blow like Lincoln- a trademark of his brutal honesty, and in most stark contrast to Normal's "toxic positivity", neither being inherently better or worse than the other just inverted, and reflective of different values (something something cheerkicks is doomed by the narrative they should kiss etc. etc. not what the post is about). Conversely, if you look at Lincoln's actions (and Lincoln is, at his heart, an action-oriented character), truly nobody is putting their ass on the line for the people around them quite like Linc is. I've stated on several occasions that I believe Lincoln is the most selfless of the teens, and I stand by this, but this is a virtue as much as it as a flaw. It's heroic, to put yourself in a line of fire to save your friend's dad, or impale your leg on a candy cane twice to get an anchor, or hug your friend to show them you care even if it literally winds up killing you- but it also reflects self-preservation instincts that somehow manage to be even weaker than those of the guy who tried to throw himself out of a building thinking that a parachute would save him (god I love Taylor).

Lincoln cares immensely about his friends (despite his growing numbness to the world around him), but dangerously little about himself and what becomes of his own life. As a less dire example, "Apollo Four Teens" acts as a great demonstration of how Lincoln will stretch himself thin for everyone around him until there's nothing left, but forgets in the process to stop and register his own emotions and tend to his own needs. Combine this with Lincoln's perpetual "keep calm and roll with the punches" attitude towards the nonstop bullshit the teens have gone through over the course of the season, including an extensive list of unresolved issues related to Grant (which by now I've outlined fairly thoroughly), and you have a serious recipe for disaster. Characters like Normal and Scary are, relatively speaking, pretty obvious and emotive with respect to their pain, even when they are trying not to be. This is good, since it makes it easier for other characters to recognize that they need help in the first place and try to look out for them (they may not always know how to do so correctly, but the intent is there). Lincoln, in contrast, shuts down and becomes less emotive in response to his own pain (in a manner that is somewhat similar to Darryl, more similar to Glenn, and of course most similar to Grant, but ultimately different from all of them), silently building his walls up higher and higher but being no safer for it. It is partially for this reason that other characters very rarely think to check in on Linc and see how he's doing (Taylor to his credit tried after the titanic episode, but that got interrupted, and Grant does also try but- much like his own dad with him- fails to meet his son halfway in being honest and vulnerable and hence fails to make any progress), leaving him to mostly suffer in silence perhaps without even truly realizing it himself.

I guess the gist of what I'm saying is, Lincoln is in deep water, all of this has been a long time coming, and if nobody does anything about it soon... (Metaphorically-speaking of course-) that boy is going to drown.

hermit horror week day 6: season 6 or flesh

Cleo hums as she looks over her pirate crew. Her ship is coming more and more to life every day with the help of the new armor stand book. Bringing real pirates to life to live in her crew--it's been a dream so far. She has a real knack for it, to. Everyone keeps commenting on it.

It's funny, thinking she of all people would be good at bringing life to things. There's a joke about that, she's sure.

She flips through the book, tilts her head and frowns as the crew prepares her ship for the day. Hm, no. She needs to make some more edits, though, before she declares it done. Her crew is a little bit too all the same color, at the moment, and there aren't enough that are the right height, and...

She walks up to the nearest crew member. He looks up at her and waves methodically before going back to his programmed actions. She flips the pages in the book, finds the correct pages to nudge, and starts messing with his height to make the crew more varied.

There is a horrible snapping and popping sound as the crew member freezes in place, and his torso and limbs begin to stretch to match the new parameters. The skin twists around the bone. Bones break and regrow. She waits patiently for the changes to be done. Finally, the twisted cracking stops, and the crew member stands at his new height.

Cleo makes a face.

"Yeah, I'm not sure that's right either," she says, even as the crew member stands up to start going back to his tasks. He's sweating and shaking, which makes it a bit hard to judge, so she re-locks the armor stand in place, freezing him.

She thinks she got his limbs wrong the first time, actually; that's why the new height didn't work well. It'll be individual reposing, then.

She starts making adjustments in her book when she looks over her shoulder and sees her crew staring at her. She shudders. It's unnerving when that happens. It always makes her feel like--she brings life to her builds like this, but it's not like the things are alive.

But sometimes, when she's adjusting the scene...

"Well? You lot get back to work!" she says, and she goes back to adjusting the first crew member she has to make changes for. She'll start with the arms, since those are proportioned worst. She needs to make them a little shorter.

The terrible tearing and popping sounds continue as things break and relocate. Cleo sighs.

One day, maybe this will be less trial and error, and she'll have to hear less horrible bone breaking? Today, though, she'll be fine with it. She's a zombie, she's probably heard worse.

As she finishes setting the arm in place, there's a low, strange sound, like an aborted scream.

She's really got to ask the datapack author one day about that, she thinks, and she moves to the next arm.

Now I don’t know much about anything, but is it weird to act like Gotham is so culturally distinct from everything around it and the rest of the state it’s in? People be saying stuff like you can hear the difference in how people in different parts of the city talk (especially crime alley. It’s literally one street there’s no way it’s that different from the rest of the city and the streets around it to the point where you could see and hear a difference??) but like, with most cities isn’t there a significant amount of people coming and going from the rural areas for work and school if nothing else?? Idk if I’m the crazy one or if this is a flandersization

Oh dear you might of asked this to the wrong person friend considering I'm Irish and the city I'm most familiar with is Belfast which if you know you know but yeah I'm aware America is probably very different but from my own experience yeah while it may be a little exaggerated gotham is usually depicted with a literal thunder cloud over it I would say a city can be vastly different especially a city like gotham which seem to have a lot of wealthy mixed with a lot of poor people which I'd also say would contribute a lot to those differences in regards to work and school yeah there is a lot of people who would travel into the city but there's still a lot of people native to the city i think if I'm honest you should ask someone from new York or at least someone familiar with that city since gotham is actually based on new York at night

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

writing [love]; dream, a writer.

Dream: I like writing. I like writing poems; I like writing songs; I like writing everything. I like storytelling—I just like storytelling. Storytelling in general is fun. I do a lot of storytelling through, like, my videos, through my video editing ... that's my favourite part of writing.

Dream: So, it's [love is] special, you know? You can't really explain it. Um, you know, with your mum, your dad, your—your sisters, your brothers, your cousins, your—your friends that you've known since you were a kid. Your friends that you just met a year ago that you are absolutely in love with as a person.

Dream: 'Have you written stories as well as songs lately?' Yeah—I mean, well ... I feel like songwriting is very—it's like, you just take stories—like 'Roadtrip' was, like, essentially a poem, and a story, that was turned into a song. And I feel like that's with a lot of stuff. 'Mask' is the same; 'Mask' was a poem turned into a song.

remember on buffy when evil willow from another dimension tied angel up and burned him with cigarettes just because it was would be hot if that happened? do you remember when Kira from ds9 had an evil bisexual dominatrix counterpart, also from another dimension? the sexy evil universe where everyone wears fetish gear and is a depraved bisexual used to be a genre staple. we need to bring it back.

NO BECAUSE imagine you and sunoo are both idols and you guys end up fucking in the limo on the way home after an award show..

-🌙

what more if its this sunoo? 🫢

imagine giving each other the “glances” only the two of you could understand. it doesn’t help that you (or your group) is sitting beside their seat so both of you can easily steal looks. and the subtle smirk sunoo would have on his lips everytime he’d catch you looking at him like he’s the main event (well, he is indeed, for you) and vice versa... its more hot knowing the fact that there’s a lot of fansite cameras infront the two of you so being sunoo, despite his mind only thinking about how your outfit makes you fucking stand out and how it perfectly hugged your curves, he managed to look directly on his fansite’s camera lenses and act all cute and innocent. it went like that for the whole event until the hour ticked for when to go home. sunoo gave you a one last look and ofc, you already know what that means. he tried convincing his manager that he’d have you ride their limo and since its sunoo, his manager allowed it despite knowing how much of a mess this would all turn out the next day.

the ride back home was hot, sloppy, and messy. with your fingers tugging his hair and him leaving open mouth kisses all over your exposed neck. he kind of remembered how a lot of male idols looks like they’re about to fucking kiss you right there and then and it just made everything sunoo does rougher. in the end, you ended up getting lots of hickeys all over your neck. you have a schedule tomorrow and you hated how sunoo disregarded that, so you gave hickeys on him too... not that he mind. safe to say, the members weren’t able to get a proper rest with how loud sunoo and you were last night right after you both went off the limo.

however, the morning after that, you both woke up with jungwon almost breaking the door to sunoo’s room... cause as per the leader, both you and sunoo are trending with how much of “you x sunoo crumbs” (which only contained of you and sunoo stealing glances to each other and later smirking or giggling like a cute old married couple) was posted by both of your and sunoo’s fansites last night. 🫣

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with so much Iranian hate and drama <:[

oh anon. hate to break it to you (a lot of people make this mistake) but iran and iraq are two entirely separate nations.

and also i think reducing it to the words "hate and drama" kind of doesn't cover it, anon.

Things my ex did:

- left me with a 2br apt, 2 cats, and no car

Things I have to do:

- declutter and downsize at the speed of light

- try not to be too emotionally damaged by it

- break down and dispose of LOTS of large furniture

- pack everything I’m keeping before next Monday

- clean the 2br apartment I’ve been in since 2022 (alone, the cats won’t help)

- do all of this in literally the worst fucking weather (south Texas)

- wrangle those cats thru airport security next Thursday

- HOPE that the 37th district court of Texas processes this fucking divorce before I leave

WE CAN CRY BUT WE WILL NOT FAIL

im gonna say something corny but... the profound effect that living in a women-only house had on me was and is insane. it was (almost) completely by chance that only women ended up living there, but i think moving in with my housemates was possibly the best decision i've ever made. i genuinely wish i could describe that kind of love and community, but i don't have the vocabulary. all that i know is that it's such a privilege to have gotten to live in that house and to love those women and to get to keep loving them. they're my most precious friends and i owe that feeling of safety and community to them. there was just something very special about that house. i was very lucky, i think. i don't think people get to love like this every day.

okay I'ma be so for real with yall. after the bullshit incident with Nancy, Steve is two things: determined to be a better boyfriend, and absolutely desperate for words of affirmation. when you fall right into Stevie's big buff arms and muscular hairy chest he's already whipped. Steve loves you. like a lot. like when Steve is up late at night thinking about you (which is often) he sometimes gets freaked out by how much he loves you. Steve loves you more than he's ever loved anyone and once that hits him like a truck, he won't be able to put off saying it for long. he was planning on just telling you, just laying his cards on the table without expecting anything back, but you did before he could. you were snuggled up together about to fall alseep when you press a kiss to his nose and murmur quietly in your adorable little voice that gives him butterflies whenever he hears it, "I love you Stevie..." as you cuddle into his chest. he startles and wakes up at your words.

"Wait- like, seriously?" His voice is all gravely from being tired and up so late, and you look up at him with your big sparkly eyes.

"yeah..." you say, starting to get worried. he can tell by the look on your face, you think you said something wrong. you think he doesn't love you to.

"I love you too," he says with no hesitation. "love you so much..." he mutters against your lips as he kisses you and kisses you. you say it a lot after that, and every time you instigate, every time you tell him you love him, tell him what a good boyfriend he is, how well he treats you and how great he is, his stomach flips and he's thrown for a loop every time. you are his first reciprocated I love you, and that means so much more to him than anything ever could. three little words and he's wrapped so tight around your finger. he's head over heels for you, and every time you tell him you love him, he gets a little crazier for you.
