@pantslessoptimism sent: "Write me a starter where..." Anne questions why soph is *still* ‘under the weather.’ mwhahahah

      “Girl, you threw up again?” Though Anne posed it as a question, there was no guessing it; she’d heard every heave from the next room. Sophie seemed to have had this stomach bug on and off for a week, going on two. Either she was sick with something more serious—or it was something else. If she was a betting woman, she would’ve put money down on something else. 

     But she decided to give Sophie the benefit of a doubt. 

     She passed her sick friend a damp washcloth, her eyebrows bunched together with thought and concern. “I’m gonna say something—and don’t be getting pissed at me because of it—but you’ve been sick too long for comfort. It’s time to head to the doc office. C’mon. Get up and put your pants on.”

me and my mate eli invented a cheesy high school sports movie au on twitter where kipperilly multiclasses into barbarian in freshman year and gets an outlet for her rage and then joins the bloodrush team with mary ann and has an epic sports rivalry with fabian and gorgug.

this is from when their bickering escalates into an actual fistfight on the field and they lose a Big Game and gorthalax forces them to do chores to Bond. and then later a monster attacks them to make sure they bond

imagine this: love as self-destruction.

is emotional self-harm a thing? because sometimes that’s what i think i was doing when it all went down.

at the time, i was so depressed, so full of self-loathing. i didn’t want to die, not quite, but i wanted to self-destruct.

i knew doing that shit with him was gonna traumatize me, but i didn’t care. i not only didn’t care, i actively craved it. i WANTED it to hurt me. i WANTED to be ruined.

i knew exactly how much it was gonna leave me bleeding, tear me apart, turn the knife inside me, etc…i knew and yet i did it anyways.

the truth is, i wasn’t stupid. i wasn’t even naïve. i just hated myself.

sometimes i really do wonder if that’s any better. i don’t think it is.

a (poor) attempt was made.

thanks for the idea, @stabbystabbyvax3!

this recent thread made me think - ryuji totally would try and stand outside during a thunder storm to see if something happens!

currently losing my marbles over how something supernatural was being set up in pandora and tva with the exploration of how david was a vampire and could see ghosts, and pandora encountered the spirit in the scarecrow, and armand could see auras but none of it was really explained or developed into an overarching plot for VC

Hello! Thanks for following me! If you didn’t know, I was actually one of the first ones to actually search for the musical back in 2018, when I saw The Lost Media Wiki page about it! I was absolutely obsessed with it for 2 years, and I listened to the Broadway bootleg plus found out about the Russian performances on YouTube! I totally agree with your recent post about Ann not being a motherly character, In my opinion she’s like a crazy older sister type

Woah! That's so cool! I'm happy its not too controversial of an opinion, I only found it a year or so ago, but Its awesome to hear from people who were there from the begining. I intend to make a follow up post but if I have someones attention I might Yap a bit.

There's no doubt that Ann wants to be maternal, and in some instances, she can be. But it's far from the “I know what I'm doing things will be okay” kind and there are different kinds of maternal relationships (not even poppa is that kind of maternal because the characters in this show have so much depth and humanity) that I won't get into but yeah she feels much more like the oldest sibling who is sort of parentified and has no actual idea of what to do but pretends to anyway, she’s like a child playing mom.

I'm sure I'm running off the rails a bit but In her actual song the words “I don't know, who do I think I am” (at least the demo and ESPIA versions have that) it's in the text that she's just as clueless and has afraid as everyone else and she even doubts herself in the doll hospital. I feel like I came off as brash saying she's not maternal earlier, I don't view her as maternal, but she very much can be read that way, and it's a powerful reading to portray a motherly character as afraid and clinging by a thread

I just want people to remember she's a person too and she’s just as scared as Marcella, and Andy, and Baby.

@audaciious sent: ❝ who would i be to judge you?❞ (To Anne Buckler from Myrina)

     “Well, you’d be a person.” And over the years, Anne had learned that everyone made judgments—some just more than others. “Guess that depends on the judgment just what kinda person you’d be.” She paused for a moment, a serious look on her face, as she regarded her. Making her own judgments, her own assessments.

     “It don’t matter a whole lot to me what people think, or judge me to be. They’re usually wrong anyway.”

continued.

she wants to snap at @sharpsuite; what kind of advice is that? does the woman really think breathing never crossed her mind? however, her chest is too tight to get any words out, and as she finds herself following the advice ━━ in for four seconds, out for another four ━━, her once erratic breathing begins to slow down. though she's far from calm, soon she doesn't feel like she's on the brink of passing out anymore. it's probably the best she could hope for.

" no, i ... i don't think so. " patricia looks down at herself just to make sure, but finds no injuries other than a few scrapes on her skin. she was one of the lucky ones. she doesn't know how many others survived the game, and she's afraid of finding out.

" what the fuck was that? i don't━ " her heart feels like it'll jump right out of her chest, so she focuses on breathing again. it's her first time in tokyo; a work trip that wasn't supposed to last longer than a weekend, maybe a few extra days to explore the city if she could take the time for it. suddenly, she was sucked into whatever this nightmare of a world is. " i don't understand. "

I finally did it, I asked someone on reddit WHY they think Indara faked her own death in the first episode. Because I don't see any evidence of it and idk I just don't get the sense they'd throw out that much of a curve-ball without any foreshadowing? I feel like she'd definitely be coming up more. They almost never mention her except in the list of targets/the bit where Jecki is arresting Mae. But this theory keeps popping up and it's on my list of 'things that would tank the ending for me' if she turned out to have faked her death in some bizarre 5D chess match that hasn't been telegraphed in any way in the text. It's definitely way more foreshadowed that one or more of the witches is alive (see: 'my mother could do that' from last episode).

I get too wanting more Jedi Master Carrie-Anne Moss, but I think she's really just going to be in the second flashback episode and I'll take what I can get even if that ends up being a combined total of like 20 minutes of screentime XD
