It would at least

…

Sorry.

I... Don't think I have that power. Not even Xisuma could do that and he's admin.

You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm the one who fell and caused all the trouble to begin with.

Does Sam’s opinion of Dream start to change?

I'm gonna give a bit of a long answer on Sam's shifting feelings towards dream. sam is definitely traumatized by the prison. he Is affected by it. perpetrator trauma is a thing and he's got so so much of it. to me the many many times he's doubled down on his worldview and the extremes he's gone to to convince himself he was right all along indicates that he can't allow himself to think too hard about what he actually did. if he was right, he doesn't have to think about it. dream deserved it, simple as. but as plushie, especially post reveal plushie, he has no power over dream to reinforce that worldview. and that's really fucking hard. because he's no longer playing a role in which his ideas are constantly reaffirmed, persuading himself is much harder. especially since he's seeing dream just. act like a guy. sure, he and punz constantly discuss things that make sams skin crawl, and dream spends an hour considering cutting Sam open to see if he's missing some vital creeper organ, and that helps PLENTY with persuading Sam he was right. but he also sees dream just. goof off with punz. make shitty grilled cheese sandwiches. kick punz out of the lab so he can sit down and dip bandage after bandage in lingering regen potions to wrap around his most painful scars. he sees dream cry about his bad leg, and sam gets taken care of. dream gives good pets and with animals his touch is gentle. dreams multidimensional. he's not purely evil, because something purely evil wouldn't hypothesize about what creepers might like for comfort just to keep Sam from panicking in his cell. and if dreams not purely evil... then is what Sam did... even justifiable? no, what is he thinking of course it was- only dreams trying to feed him another treat and Sam's stomach turns.

if he does let himself feel any guilt at all, it would be crushing. it would literally be too much. he can't feel it without sacrificing his last shreds of sanity. I think, if his perspective on dream starts to change, to cope with that, his whole personality would have to flip. think about it. he built himself around the person of the warden, and the wardens relationship to the prisoner. if what he defined himself by was wrong, then he was wrong, a bad person. and he's always been a good person. always. which means- he either has to keep denying that he was wrong. or find a way to be right again in these new circumstances. there are a few limiting factors to what he even Can be. namely, he can't hurt dream or punz, he can't try to escape, he can't be the warden ever again. he has to assume his proper role in this new dynamic. maybe as someone who's... repented? saved? who would never be wrong again. he hates how it feels to be a bad person. he Needs to be a good one. in what ways can he be right and good now? what could he possibly do to make sure he stays that way? this will take him a while to figure out, but I feel like, when he does come to a conclusion, whatever it might be, he'll throw himself head first into building that new person of himself.

“You live here?” 

“You’re moving in here?” 

Since the boxes started to pile up the doorstep, Jungkook was wondering all day who’d be occupying the room next to him. It’s a corner room, which made Jungkook doubly jealous because they had a great view of the city. Who knew his new neighbor would be the bobbing bunny who’d chase him in childhood (and all the way to adulthood, apparently.) 

Conversely, you’re also shocked. Your parents checked out this place, and said nothing about Jungkook also living here. Then again, not mentioning it may be the point.

It’s the start of a new semester, and you haven’t talked to Jungkook since that whole Christmas fiasco. You avoided Jungkook for the rest of the holiday, refusing to let him play with you like this. No matter how big your crush may be, you have dignity and five minutes of fondling will not change that. 

“Yeah, finally picked a graduate school.” you drop your last box on top of the pile, “this was the only school my family could compromise on.” 

“Congrats,” his eyes flicker over to the boxes, stacked higher than you, “you need help moving in?” 

You weren’t about to refuse free labor, so you open your door and let him set up. Jungkook knows your tastes, years and years of study groups having you and your friend visiting each other’s rooms up until high school. He color-codes your closet for you, diligently making sure to avoid your delicates and unmentionables. The frames are put up at straight angles, not a corner out of place. While the apartment is small and old, it’ll be your new home for the next year. You’re excited. 

“Still needs that touch,” Jungkook holds his hand out like a frame, going over the blank nooks and crannies of your apartment, “something’s missing.” 

Jungkook sees things you don’t see. You heard one Sunday lunch that Jungkook’s studying to be an architect. To you, whatever’s missing in this apartment is miniscule, even nonexistent. 

You think the missing thing is him, although Jungkook doesn’t know it. He’s poking and prodding around, moving small furniture to different corners and then surveying the corners. Jungkook is the bit of home you’ll get when you’re tired and stressed over work. Maybe you two can be study buddies, or get lunch together on campus. The thought has you warm, wondering if Jungkook will be able to see you anything other than a childhood friend turned pretty. 

“I won’t be bringing much here,” you say reluctantly, running your fingers over the polished kitchen counter, “I still have to go home for church every weekend.” 

Jungkook’s eyes quirk at the revelation that you can’t stay in the city due to hometown obligations, and within reason. Jungkook doesn’t go back every weekend, yet your family expects you to. It was the compromise when you decided to go to graduate school here. 

“Well, not this weekend though right?” Jungkook rocks on his heels, black toe socks rubbing against the dark hardwood floor as he meets you behind the counter, “since your parents think you’ll be too busy unpacking?” 

“Maybe?” you throw the question right back at him, unsure of where he’s going with this. 

“There’s a party at my friend’s house Saturday night. There could be some classmates in your major, meet some new friends?” 

Jungkook’s inviting you to a party. Jungkook’s going to take you to a party to help you make new friends and socialize with people other than your nosy uncles and aunts. You don’t even have to answer, the adoration on your face evident. Jungkook will introduce you to people, show you off, get you drinks. 

(Maybe he’ll even kiss you goodnight.) 

You shake that thought off quickly, knowing that kind of desire will get you in trouble. You need to take things slowly if you have any chance of being with Jungkook. Going to the party as friends will be more than enough. 

He tucks his finger under your chin, forcing you to look at him. There’s nothing romantic about the action, no matter how you spin it around. Your eyes are perpetually glued to the floor, painfully meek, “I’ll pick you up at eight.” 

“She’s so weird!” 

You stiffen at the exclamation, clutching your red plastic cup with both hands as you lean against the wall that connects the kitchen to the hallway. They can’t see you if you act like a wallflower, so you hold your breath and wait for the blow. 

“C’mon, church girls are like that,” that’s Park Jimin’s voice, the first friend Jungkook introduced you to when you walked in the house. His voice sounds kind through the R&B music blasting through the flat screen television, yet it still rubs you the wrong way that he refers to you as a “church girl.” Jimin’s no better than the girl who’s talking about you. 

“But Jungkook isn’t like that,” It’s Nayeon that starts this, and it saddens you slightly because you wanted to be her friend. She was all smiles and sweet stares when Jungkook was by your side, but you suppose none of that kindness was directed towards you. “He’s cool. She dresses like a fifties school teacher and has barely said ten words all evening! I don’t know what Jungkook was thinking.” 

Speaking of, where is Jungkook now? It’s been twenty minutes since you’ve last seen him. Twenty minutes of taking sips at a haphazardly mixed drink and twiddling your fingers as you try to insert yourself into a puzzle that you’re not cut into. 

“Besides,” Nayeon’s voice twinkles through the room, clear as day, “He only invited her out of pity. I’m pretty sure he’s fucking Jungyeon in the bathroom right now.” 

Bile rises though your throat like rain in a well, threatening to spill over and embarrass you further. Your fingers crush the plastic slightly, curling and bending at your whim. 

To torture yourself further, you take slow steps towards the bathroom. What you hear has tears spilling over your eyes. Jungkook’s heady voice, a girl’s soft cries that penetrate through the walls and into your ears. It’s not the sex that gets you upset, nor Jungkook’s desire to leave you for another girl. 

You’re not a charity case, you’re not an object to be pitied. You’re not a sheltered church girl. Sure, Jungkook may not feel that way. Yet Jungkook put you in an environment where others are typecasting you, making you feel like you don’t fit in. Jungkook didn’t even warn you when he ditched, a common courtesy that you know for a fact friends do for each other, even though this is your first real college party.

When you bolt out of there and drive home, you don’t go to your apartment. You set the GPS to take you straight home, back to your tiny town. You begin your recovery process early Sunday morning. 

A scalding hot shower, to scrape away the smell of alcohol on your body. 

You spend early morning cleaning the storage room and the classrooms, scrubbing away until everything’s shining. 

You pray and apologize for the pleasure and pain—for giving into temptation on Christmas Day and the toppling results of that. 

Once you get home, you spend a pretty penny on decorating your apartment. Clashing art pieces—anime posters, random florals, a cat mug. Things that you like, things to make yourself happy. 

These are steps in the right direction. You need a cleanse. Specifically a cleanse for Jeon Jungkook.

Okay so maybe you've already thought about this but I've been crying over it for a couple days now and I feel like you're the one to share this with: John had to baptize Sarah and the whole time pretend he wasn't her real dad and just picturing that ceremony and the pile he probably collapsed into when he returned to the rectory afterwards is just *clenches fists* 😭

You know I don’t think there’s a single person in this entire fandom that hasn’t thought about this- and yet it still hurts so bad because I have a thought I don’t think I’ve seen talked about quite as much about this…

There is a DISTINCT possibility that John didn’t even fucking KNOW up until Sarah’s baptism that she was his. I mean I don’t think it’s an irresponsibility thing on Millie’s part or anything. I mean it’s safe to assume that George was back full time on the island by the point Millie has Sarah bc lmao I don’t think Millie could’ve had such an easy time taking the priest’s secret love child thing to George’s grave if she had known right off the bat- or if the timeline wasn’t tight enough for some reasonable doubt about whose baby this was. And who knows whether Millie got to the mainland in time to deliver at a hospital or how long she would’ve been bedridden on the island afterwards. And according to google (lmao) babies typically get baptized 3 months after birth- so like at what point might Millie have been up and about enough to tell him the news? Because I mean I assume she probably figured it all out when Sarah came out with a dark tuft of dark brown/black hair - unlike hers or George’s (not like she can go get her dna tested anyway without it being super suspicious- and I mean Sarah looks an awful lot like John anyway like it’s not hard to see if you know)

So then imagine his surprise when he’s set to baptize Millie’s baby. Only to hold her and get a little look from Millie- and then see the jet black tuft of hair on her head and know. Right then and there all of a fucking sudden he knows- after probably months of turning over the possibility in his mind and not knowing and being scared of this exact thing probably (woohoo because yes the love wasn’t a sin but ain’t no way the catholic guilt over committing a cardinal fucking sin isn’t gonna put the fear of god in you while you wait for 9 months to see if there are actual consequences of it). I don’t think he could hold back from crying then and there. Because in spite of all the said catholic guilt she’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen and he loves her instantly- and he’s about as far away from feeling guilty about his sinning as he’ll ever be. And yeah, he plays it off like “I’m sorry she’s just so beautiful” which everyone takes to mean like just the usual “you have a beautiful baby” thing, but Millie knows the truth and starts crying too. Like… how much weight that baptism has after that. Because he’s looking at this little girl- his little girl, and he already knows she’s completely free of sin- there’s hardly any point to baptize her at all… but he washes her forehead not for her sake but for his. His sins shouldn’t have to be hers- he knows that as a father (and boy does fatherhood in general just fit him like a glove)… but he must know on some level that he can’t be her father. At least not now. And he’ll spend the rest of his life hoping and praying that he could but… She shouldn’t have to have this sin on her. So he washes her of his sins, and hands her back to Millie, and it’s done. His brush with real fatherhood is done. And no my friend there’s no way he’s not having a full on breakdown with lots of communion wine in the rectory after that. I fucking am just putting all this down after ruminating about it for like 4 months. Happy fucking Friday.

I really wanna talk about the parent child relationships in Midnight Mass

I’m not sure if I’m good at writing this sorta Meta but here goes nothing. Very many spoilers follow.

Let’s start with the adults: 

First we have Erin who suffered so much at the hands of her mother and later because of her mother’s abuse. We don’t get much detailed info on Peggy Greene but from what we can gather she was a lot like Beverly Keane, who seemed to idolize her (though that probably got easier for her after Peggy was gone), in her self-righteous over-pious manner. She just happened to be Beverly with an alcohol problem and a daughter who she could take all her anger at life for not working out her way for God loving her just the same as everybody else out. The dove scene is really such a good scene. But Erin was stronger than her mother, stronger than the abuse that was about to repeat itself and when she found out that she would have a child of her own she left and tried her best to give her kid a better life than the one she had. And she found the strength I think with the help of the same God her mother most likely used as legitimation for her abuse (don’t get me wrong I believe it was Erin’s own strength but she also clearly found something in religion that helped her gather it) and it helped her to carve out a path for herself and her unborn child.  

Sarah’s relationship to her parents is such an interesting one because we get to see the end of it. The man who she believed to be her father has been dead for a long while and her mother is suffering through the late stages of dementia. And Sarah showed up for it. As a doctor she most likely knew what would be happening as soon as Mildred started to show the first symptombs but she wasn’t going to leave her mother. That kind of care for an elderly parent shows something that is proven in Mildred’s character time and time again: She is a very devoted parent and the love between mother and daughter flows both ways in every scene they are in together, after the birth of her daughter her world turned around Sarah and she loved her with all she had. There are a few scenes that show that Mildred’s understanding of the duty she felt towards her family came from the old values of her time. She wouldn’t have taken off with John and their child not for a lack of love but because in those times, in catholism still at least where I’m from, you can’t just marry a priest. You can’t just have a child with a priest eventhough you’re married and then fuck off with him. As a woman, as a wife and mother you have to stand with your husband, stand with your child and you have to stop running after fantasies I’m sure Mildred had. I’m saying this all from her perspective btw, I don’t necessarily think running away with John, in the way he wished to, would have been good for Sarah but honesty might have been and her old fashioned values were also what kept her from being truly honest with her daughter.  To John on the other hand Sarah is a fantasy, a dream he couldn’t reach. His daughter, his baby, so close and yet so far away getting to watch her grow into an adult but never being able to really be her father as in her Dad instead of her priest. And it’s painful to him, he clearly loved Mildred, loved Sarah but he was also kinda selfish in his love that in the end took Sarah away. At first he isolated his child by starring at her giving her the creeps and the feeling that she had done something wrong that he knew she was gay and dissaproved and then he took it upon himself to ‘cure’ Mildred in the same way he was. Sarah wanted to take care of her mother wanted to be there for her in those final months and John decided it was up to him to give Mildred a youth potion to make it so she’d never die. And with that he took away from Sarah what is without doubt a hard but for many people a very important last part of the relationship between child and parent. John was a complicated man and would maybe have been a great Dad he certainly showed a lot of fatherly love for his altar boys but he couldn’t have the family in the way he fantasized about and in the end it was that fantasy that made him act the way he did.   

Riley Flynn causes his parents a lot of pain. Him killing that girl in the beginning, his alcoholism, him simply not liking the place, the home they build for themselves through hard work causes the Annie and Ed so much pain and financial loss and you can see how tired they are, how much guilt they feel for failing their son. Ed calls out his own guilt and says that he doesn’t belive it could be Annie’s fault because ‘your mother’s a saint’ but what I truly love about Annie and Ed Flynn is that they both aren’t saints. As a mother Annie is very much overprotective and suffocating, wanting to keep her children on crocket island and hating the notion that they might leave her, even though she is kind and sweet and loving. And while Ed seems rather checked out as a father but he is the more honest parent, never talking down to Riley and telling him as it is, telling him about the pain he caused him while also admitting to the guilt he feels. The Flynns are flawed people even in their religious practice (I think the way Annie speaks about Ali showing up at church when Hassan seemed to be nothing but nice to her spoke very loudly to the fact that Annie is rather misguided sometimes) but they are good people at the core of it and their parenting might have been part of Riley’s way into alcoholism but it wasn’t only them. There were things they couldn’t change and things they had no influence over like his heart being broken by Erin running away, the sort of people he went out on parties with and so many other things...  Yes, they may have shaped their son in a way that made him vulnerable to addiction and the party scene of the stock and tech market and brought him to the point where he killed a child but it doesn’t happen through parenting alone and they also shaped him in the good ways. Him not losing himself when Pruitt changes him, him being brave enough to warn Erin, him standing up for what he believes in those things were also shaped by Ed and Annie. They are one of the best example of flawed but good hearted Christians I have seen in recent media and their portrayal was one of the most heartbreaking ones. 

Now the kids: 

Let’s start with Leeza. Little Leeza Scarborough who before it comes to her wonder gets treated with pity and overprotectiveness from her parents and the island community at large. Leeza was injured by Joe Collie transforming him into the island’s villain and her into the ever present victim.  What happened to her is without a doubt horrible and I understand why Wade and Dolly started to become these overprotective parents, why they were so easily sucked in to John’s and Bev’s scheme. Their little girl was almost taken from them eventhough Wade is the mayor, one of the most powerful people on the island he had no influence over what happened to Leeza even was the one who took her out that day and what followed the accident was as we can gather from their conversation with Sarah a lot of pain and financial burden though they say they would have done it all over for Leeza. In fact a lot of places in crockett island are wheelchair accesible and I am sure that Wade as mayor made it so (I can’t really imagine that a small place like the island was very inclusive though I may be wrong).  After Leeza is healed they don’t want to question in don’t want to think about what might have been the cause for it. In fact they stop questioning anything after that point, after Leeza walks again they are completely vulnerable to Bev’s manipulation and them letting that happen, them just going along with everything, Wade protecting John after he kills Joe long after Leeza forgave him and with her forgiveness send Joe on a better path is what in the end makes them lose her. Because Leeza isn’t that little victim who needs pity and help, she is a strong minded, strong willed young woman with a lot of wit who similar to Erin finds strength in her faith but in a way that isn’t devotion without question and when the Easter vigil is held she doesn’t follow her parents eventhough she loves them deeply. She forgives them I think, because that’s what Leeza’s character is about in it’s core but her parents were two of the instigators behind what happened on the island, without Wade’s protection John and Bev couldn’t have come as far as they did and they put their trust in them because they loved their daughter so much they didn’t stop to question if maybe what made Leeza walk again was also a bad thing. 

Ali and Hassan don’t have it easy and I as a white person really can’t speak much on the racism and religious discrimination they face.  I can say this I think: The first line spoken about Ali before we even really get to look at him is “You didn’t invite Aladin” and already sets us up for what both of them know: They are the outsiders. Not only because they just moved to the island but also because in their faith they are different from their peers and religion can often be a community building event for people before it is anything else. Ali starts balming his father a little for that, for not trying to fit in more with the community, for moving after his mother’s death and then not trying to be closer to the people around them and for the pain all the pain the two of them went through before Crockett island. It isn’t oly peer pressure though of course that brings Ali to St Patrick’s. Sure, Ali wanted to be part of the community but also desperately wanted to believe that there was a devine power who could if he just did it (it meaning faith) the right way he might find a way to avoid the pain of his parents. Hassan knew that and he warned him that that wasn’t how it worked. Hassan was a protective Dad and maybe he overdid it from time to time but his worries were never without reason, his need to keep his son safe from a world that hated him for a crime that happened when he wasn’t even born yet never unfounded and him wanting to make sure his kid kept the memory of his mother alive never anything but the wish of a griefing man and loving father. In the end when they pray together there is peace in them. They face their ends with the dignity Ali’s mother would have wished for and they face it as father and son. While Beverly the true religious terrorist of the story burns away without it. 

Warren is the youngest Flynn and it is never directly stated yet omnipresent that his coming of age happens in the shadow of his older brother’s mistake.  Annie warns him away from drinking when he goes out he in fact doesn’t drink. He never drinks because of what his brother did.  Warren would have been 12 when Riley killed that girl and so he would have seen and felt what his brother’s actions did to his parents fully without being yet old enough to maybe see the nuance.  Annie and Ed probably try to right the wrong they believe to have done in parenting Riley with Warren and that’s a lot for a kid. I do think it’s pretty usual that parents of multiple children especially when there’s a larger age gap try to do better with the younger children, but that isn’t fair is it?  Warren is his own person not a second chance to do it over.  And yet seemingly he does what is asked of him. He’s alter boy, he’s charming and helpful and sweet, he doesn’t drink (even when he does smoke pot) and he helps his father where he can with his work.  But in the end he feels guilty because he thinks he wasn’t enough and says at that last dinner he would have been different if he had known he wouldn’t see his family again. But Leeza is right they know and they love him and Warren deserved to not be perfect all the time. 

Littlefoot saved Erin and Erin payed her back with all the love she had. She was never born but she gave her mother the strength and willpower to leave.  In her speech to Joe Leeza said he reached through time and took things from her she didn’t even know she had yet.When Erin left her husband she reached through time and saved Littlefoot from a childhood like hers and when John gave Erin the angel’s vampire’s blood he reached through time and took away her child, a child who would have been loved and cared for. A child with an amazing mother and probably a great step-dad.  Littlefoot’s story is tragic because she never got one.

In that intro to psych post I feel like Marius and Luke would get in a fistfight with the professor, Cynthia will make the professor cry, and artem will have a mental breakdown- ghost

irt nxx boys in ur intro to philosophy class

hi ghost! hi anon!!!

ghost im assuming u mean philosophy (because the boys in an intro to psych class is a WHOLE OTHER DISCUSSION) and dkjfbkkJBKJ

irt to ghost's ask:

marius and luke get into a fistfight with each other because any time morality or goodness is brought up, luke is always in the vaguely catholic camp of "IT HAS TO BENEFIT OTHERS, THERE ARE NO GREY AREAS. GUILT IS A REQUIREMENT, HOW ELSE ARE WE GOING TO KNOW THAT WE MUST BE BETTER?" while marius would believe "guilt is valid and does have merit in identifying things to work on, but the lack of it doesnt mean ur bad and can never improve. get therapy, babe. also, everything is grey areas!!" and nobody will be able to tear them apart except for mc who comes in with a roll of newspaper, thwacking them on the head until they behave

EDIT: OH I MISREAD. GHOST, I THOUGHT U SAID MARIUS AND LUKE WILL HAVE A FISTFIGHT WITH EACH OTHER. U SAID WITH THE PROFESSOR KJFBKGJKG. okay, luke wouldnt, hard stop. hes too nice for that, hes only punching the professor if they made mc cry or if theyve done a heinous crime. marius also wouldnt, not because hes nice, but because he'd MUCH rather enjoy watching the prof steadily get more and more frustrated. the prof wants to punch him. and hes daring them to.

artem is sitting there with his head in his hands because if theres no correct or incorrect answers, WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO???? HOW DOES HE NAVIGATE A WORLD WHERE NOTHING IS A FAILURE?????? his answer, for now, is that He is the failure.

i assume ur autocorrect turned "vyn" into "Cynthia" and that made me laugh for a good 5 minutes. vynthia richter would not make the professor cry, i think, but he will be sent out to think about what hes done. his input is intelligent and valuable! but jesus christ, lighten up, will you?

irt to anon's ask:

forgive me, it's been a few years since ive been in college so i may be wrong but my understanding of postmodernism is that it is the rejection of the widely accepted definitions, the rejection of the Grand Narratives that modernism before it had put into place. theres something very rigid about modernism, something that does fit artem's own rigidity, but....not quite?

because i think artem's shtick isnt so much disliking the avoidance of definition, more so that i see artem as somebody who sees the world (or more accurately, his actions and life and personality) as something that needs to be Correct and Successful. which, in itself, is a definition, ur right! but idk, it's not that he wants everything to be defined, he just wants so badly and so desperately to be what is Correct in the situations and relationships that he pursues in life.

like, even when he's picking TOMATOES [SR Fixated On You] he searches for the Most Correct Tomato, the one that is the Pinnacle Of What A Correct Tomato Is Supposed To Be.

it's funny, actually. in artem's quest to embody what he thinks is the Correct answer for things, what hes doing is actually creating his own unattainable definition of Correct. artem wing's brain is literally working so fucking hard to make his own life more difficult for him LMAOOOO.

sidenote: when i write luke, i always use the words "good / bad" whereas with artem, i always use the words "correct / incorrect" or "wrong / right." ive mentioned this before in past posts, but i see luke's whole thing being morality while artem's whole thing is something more "empirical" which, like, lol because artem, honeypie, theres gonna be a LOT of things with no empirical answers. luke and artem are two sides of the same coin actually, both of them tend to see the world in black and white. i just make them use a different language, based on their personality in canon.

can you believe how much thought im putting into these otome men? i feel deranged everyday

I want to marry Casey 💍 unlike SOME people, I'd like to put a ring on it ❤

If this is directed at me, I'll come down there and beat you to death. If it's directed at Kaiden, then yeah Kaiden. Where's Beck's ring?

Casey is down to clown when it comes to marriage. Make an honest woman put of him. *slaps his back* This bad boy can fit so much catholic guilt about not being married already in him.

[gcnnerpaxton]

bri again making a terrible decision. do i need a fourth? no.......... bt here we are anyway. after this i promise im done fr a while bt :/ i lov this lil bitch so here we are........ give this a like if u wld b Down to Clown w him aka plot!

「axel auriant & cismale」⇾ paxton , gunner, the senior radcliffe student’s records show that he is a leo and 22 years old. he is studying film, living off campus and can be loyal, resilient, anxious & indifferent. when i see him i am reminded of curling up in bed for days in a hello kitty comfort shirt, the click of a camera shutter & hand-me-down’s two sizes too big.

pinterest is HERE.

TW’S FOR ABUSE, VIOLENCE, MISSING CHILD, KIDNAPPING, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA BELOW!

stats.

name: gunner brick paxton.

age: twenty-two.

gender identity: cis-male.

pronouns: he/him.

sexuality: demisexual.

birthday: july 31, 1998.

star sign: leo.

myers-briggs: istj.

year of study: senior.

major: film.

occupation: librarian.

place of birth: laramie, wyoming.

religion: catholic (non-practicing).

background.

neen jst brought in gunner’s older brother so fr those who read elias’ bio u kno tht gunner is the middle paxton child w eli being the oldest n then they have wyatt who is the youngest!!

they lived at the top of a hill in a trailer in a trailer park neighbourhood in laramie, wyoming so to say the least that fucking sucked for everyone involved

the trailer was so small that all 3 boys ended up sharing a room, gunner and wyatt sharing a bunk bed bc they cldnt fit 3 beds into one room it really was every childs nightmare bt they quickly grew used to it tbh

gunner was always more of an artsy child than invested in sports - though he does enjoy baseball and continued even to this day after their dad made him join SOMETHING in middle school - so he never rly earned their father’s respect, but he was always close with his mom since they had the same calm temperament

DEPRESSION/ANXIETY TW - he also gained a list of mental health issues that their mom had as well, including social anxiety and major depressive disorder - DEPRESSION/ANXIETY TW END

VIOLENCE/ABUSE TW - their father always encouraged pretty volatile behaviour and it caused a lot of physical fights and arguments between the brothers when their dad told them the best way to get over it was to start hurting until someone tapped out, it was just a chaotic and pretty abusive household but no one knew and their mom definitely wasn’t going to say anything about it to their dad - VIOLENCE/ABUSE TW END

MISSING CHILD/KIDNAPPING TW - wyatt went missing on a weekend that their parents were gone because of a trip they won, and things just got worse from there

ANXIETY/DEPRESSION TW - high school was really rough for gunner, his anxiety grew worse as time went on that no one found wyatt, their dad grew more hostile towards them, and their mom just grew sicker, it was rare that she would ever leave her room and if she did it was in fits of random energy where she would do something spontaneous and completely unnecessary to their house as a way of coping - MISSING CHILD/KIDNAPPING/ANXIETY/DEPRESSION TW END

the two years that gunner was at home after elias finally left for school were basically torture and as soon as he could, he was falling his brother’s footsteps in getting out of wyoming to go to school at radcliffe

INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA TW -  things are far better now that they’re out of their home situation, but gunner’s going through some more things personally now; the paxton’s were raised in an incredibly religious household, and he’s got some classic Catholic Guilt going on upon realizing that he’s not jst attracted to women n he avoided talking abt it forever/stayed in the closet fr far too long bt he’s sort of come out now in his own way even tho he does still get a bit nervous talking abt it rly - INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA TW END

he’s also ‘dealing’ rn which is frankly funny to think abt bc this man is abt as threatening as a care bear bt money is tight between him and eli all things considering, and with the amount of meds he’s on, plus incredibly frequent doctor’s visits, needing to pay for extra epi-pens, inhalers, etcs. bills add up so he’s cutting back his meds n selling wht he can spare which is . so unhealthy bt thts life in corporate america baybee!

details.

is literally allergic to everything. grass, cats, most fruits, milk, most nuts, bees, latex, probably more i cnt even keep up w them its pathetic

u can catch him n eli strutting around campus w matching epipen holders tht he got them fr eli’s 16th bday JKSDNGKLHSDGLK

if things cldnt get worse he also has quite intense asthma so he carries an inhaler with him at all times

n to make matters even WORSE he frequently has dizzy spells n bad memory problems bc of all the concussions he’s suffered from (about 8-9 at this point) as well as consistent migraines that can b literally debilitating sometimes

awkward n jst a bit of a Weirdo to b frank like if it weren’t fr eli he wld probably have one (1) friend he jst cnt converse w ppl

didnt have any friends in high school so took the time to teach himself rly weird things, knows a fuck ton of magic tricks, can yodel, juggle, solve a rubix cube with his eyes closed in under 2 minutes, just extremely weird and specific things

can honestly b a bit mean/barbaric to ppl he’s not close w/doesn’t kno has told ppl to their face before he doesn’t enjoy talking to them bc he has no concept of social constructs/norms

loves 2 film random things at parties, makes him feel more comfortable at them n he makes short films of them all after

update about his summer away: ended up heading to nyc fr a film internship n actually had a rly good time??? fr once?? jst had a rly nice summer fling after being a bit heartbroken throughout the school year it was jst a rly necessary n fulfilling summer fr him king of getting wht he finally deserves

this also led him to b like . oh maybe i’m Not broken bc he doesn’t realize........... demisexuality is a thing n wld get rly awkward during hookups a lot if hes jst not 100% comfortable w the person so now he thinks hes like a one man machine who actually has some Self Esteem n thinks he can have Sexual Relations all day every day (he cannot)

connections.

ppl who buy off him?? probs wld have to kno him some way hes too scared to sell to Random randoms KJSHDGKLHSDLG

other film majors :-)

some friends………. hes awkward bt he means well…………

a mans he wld Risk It All fr (aka a guy tht gunner actually has a crush on n is Extra Awkward probs a lil mean to bc hes still New to That)

ppl he has a crush on/unrequited crushes either way wtvr floats ur boat

some enemies tbh much like elias he has a temper n he tends to blow up rarely bt it happens n when it does it actually can b quite scary JKSHDGLHSDG

a muse….. mayhaps?? someone he always wants in his film projects

awkward past hook ups maybe some current ones teehee

anything Ur Heart Desires

You try to pray, of course you do.

Symbrock Holiday Exchange Masterlist! (Fics)

Thanks for @lokianawinchester​ for running the show! I wanted to compile a masterlist of the 38 works on AO3. All authors are anonymous until the 31st. Remember to leaves kudos and comments! ♥

--

❄ venom's winter fun times checklist (G) Summary: Venom's first winter experience. 

❄ Cards On The Table (G) Summary: Eddie needs to tell Anne the truth about Venom, that he survived. He needs to tell her - but he's not quite sure how. ------- “You’re not Tan France, you can’t tell me what to wear,” Eddie had complained while Venom made him try on every thing in his closet and walk up and down the room like a model. “I don’t know what’s wrong with the first outfit I picked.” It was a polo neck. “What’s wrong with that?” You are not a polo neck gay, Eddie. Please burn it.

❄ "catholic guilt" is the name of our christmas album (T) Summary; we want to understand you. but we… "we" as in me, want to do this with us, "us" as in you and me.

or.

venom tries to understand their first christmas by looking at eddie's.

❄ What Big Teeth You Have! (The Better to Save You With) (T) Summary: Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear sentient alien goo.

❄ Bad Boy (M) Summary: With a frustrated huff Venom switched on the television, maybe he could learn something interesting and let his mind wander off his dumb, reckless host.

“.. have been a naughty boy, not following the rules? You need to be punished for your behaviour.”

❄ Wearable Boyfriend (One Size Fits All) (T) Sometimes the worst thing that happens is that you have to get out of bed in the morning...

❄ Hung (Up) (M) Eddie's got a hang-up about his dick. The symbiote is a little hung up about it, too.

❄ Xenopathology (G) "Uh-huh," Eddie says. "Sounds like a cold, to me."

"Sounds like you know nothing of symbiote biology," Venom snarks back.

❄ No Brakes (M) After the explosion at the Life Foundation, Eddie tries to get back to his life. But something is missing.

An illustrated pinch-hit for the Symbrock Holiday Exchange. Happy holidays Kairu_KitsuneO! I hope you enjoy :)

❄ A Brilliant Display (G) Eddie and Venom navigate human social patterns. Also discussion of Peacocks.

❄ Dreams and Nightmares (T)    At night, Eddie is haunted by his failures in life. Venom, his eternally loving partner, is there to soothe him.

❄ Holo is Stored in the Symbiote (G) You know what would make this even better? 

Venom asks, every time they finish painting Eddie's nails.

Eddie takes a breath and lets it out. "A holo tac--"

A HOLO TACO.

And then Venom slathers as much glitter as they possibly can over whatever design they'd just finished, until his nails are practically a disco ball. But Venom's right. Holo *does* make everything look better.

❄ Test Drive (E)

He feels the skin under his hands shift, and he knows it’s Venom messing around. He looks down at his chest, he watches as his pecs get bigger, fuller.

“Venom. Did you give me boobs?”

“I wanted to see what all the fuss was about,”

❄ Inconvenient Epiphany (T) Eddie has a startling realization at an inconvenient time.

Or, Eddie learns to jump.

❄ Penguins Videos and Cooking Shows (G) Eddie is really bad at keeping Venom's presence a secret, and Anne and Dan now have both one (1) human disaster and one (1) alien disaster to keep an eye on.

❄ Strange Food Cravings (T) Eddie has some food cravings he never had before... that's probably nothing serious, right?

❄ Consuming (E) "You're going to fix this," Eddie said, and if his voice was accusing, that was entirely understandable considering Venom had broken down his suppressants.

❄ Holiday Cheer (G) Eddie is feeling down during the Holidays, Venom wants to just make him feel better

❄ I love Wearing You (M) Anne invites Eddie out to a formal event, forcing Venom to shift himself into a suit that fits the occasion. But what if making a pretty suit to match his boyfriend is a bit harder than expected.

❄ Dolores Park (E) Venom wants an ice cream, but he's been bad, so Eddie doesn't want to give him such a tasty treat. Maybe he can find something else to eat instead.

❄ Christmas Gift (M) Venom wants to surprise Eddie with a gift. He loves both of them.

❄ Comfort Measures (T) Eddie has nightmares of losing Venom.

❄ Blacks and browns (E) They get captured and they blame it on each other, but that doesn't change the facts that they were careless. Carlton Drake makes an appearance and starts to explain things and maybe get some (work-related) shit done. It's interrupted by Eddie's boner. Carlton is amused, Eddie's ashamed, and Venom is curious. They have a bit of fun.

❄ A Night On The Town (G) “It's nice to see you all dressed up, ” Dan notes, holding Eddie an arms-length away and taking in the pale buttoned-up shirt tucked into slim-cut trousers. “We were scared you'd show up in sneakers and sweats.”“Terrified is a better word,” Anne adds on the end of a gentle laugh.

❄ Not a cold, really (G) Well, how could it be a cold? Venom is an alien. Alien or not though, Eddie has to figure out how to help his symbiote

❄ This Is Way Too Much Pressure, It's Breaking My Heart (M) Eddie doesn't like Christmas. Venom sets out to, if not to change his mind, at least distract him for a little while.

❄ I'm Only What You Make Me (T) Eddie can't run fast enough to escape herself. 

❄ The Black and White Parade (T) After receiving word from a friend of a friend of a sort-of-maybe friend of a former workmate, Tony investigates the remains of the Life Foundation.

Apparently hitchhiking isn't just a human activity.

❄ Cake (G) Eddie hates days like today. Venom knows exactly how to fix it!

❄ Efficiency (E) Eddie introduces Venom to the concept of delayed gratification.

❄ The closest thing to a perfect man (is made of gingerbread) (T) Christmas has never been tastier.

❄ Living In a Dream, It’s Just You and Me (G) “You’re the best, love,” Eddie sighs happily and reaches up to pet Venom’s head.

“You say that every morning.” Venom leans into the touch anyways.

Eddie chuckles and kisses his other’s head fondly. “And I mean it every time.”

❄ Possession (E) You’re mine. Venom pressed that phrase so firmly into Eddie’s consciousness that he jolted.

“Oh, boy. What’s your alter ego saying?” Dana said with both concern and amusement.

Eddie opened his mouth to blather some jokey excuse, but Venom pushed their deep, gravelly voice out, “Eddie is mine!” Black lines bulged out of Eddie’s skin like veins.

❄ The weights you drag along (and the ones I carry for you) (T) Christmas had a tendency to to dig up old feelings and old memories, a rising and confusing pile of emotions that Eddie had to sort through to get an enjoyable experience out of the holiday. It's easier to do so, when you have someone with you;

(Or: Eddie and Venom talk while sitting on the kitchen floor at 5am)

❄ On Top of the World (G) Eddie and V have worked alongside Peter Parker a few times since they've been in NY, but both parties have made sure to keep their identities a secret--they only know each other as Venom and Spider-Man. That is, at least, until Venom and Eddie happen to stumble across a familiar smelling teen on a rooftop at 5am.

❄ Warm me up (E) It's a chilly winter day and Eddie and Venom come home to a cold apartment. Lucky for Eddie, Venom is happy to warm him up. One thing leads to another and things heat up.

❄ I'll be Buried Here with You (M) It's easy to die. Easy to close your eyes and sleep forever. It's so much harder to be the one left behind.

So, so much harder than Eddie could have imagined.

❄ Kiss under a Parasite (T) This is Venom's first Christmas dinner celebrated with Eddie at Anne and Dan’s place. And their first Mistletoe Kiss.
