your recent post about Alex’s pain threshold reminded me of when he had a black eye, maybe being a naughty boy

you mean when this happened?? because yeahhhhh. i’d totally forgotten about this but now i’m thinking ALL kinds of thoughts. i mean, it was the era of lyrics like “to my knees you do promote me/i’m pinned down by the dark” and “the blood in your bruise” and many, many more… (but then again, it could have had a totally non-sexual cause too. who knows, but it’s sure fun to speculate 👀)

It's wip wednesday and for once, I actually have something legitimately Cool(tm) to share

Shit's had me on the end of my tether lately but I've been able to channel a little energy into Virtual Ground's pilot rewrite and I genuinely think this is gonna be the one. This is a small excerpt of a re-written conversation but I'm pretty pleased with the vibe.

OB: You’re back early.

S: I cut the trip short.

S: In fact I just got off the phone with the police.

S: Mr. Tan has given his statement and the cops are considering pressing charges against you.

OB: For what??

S: Aggravated assault.

OB: Are you kidding me? I saved his life!

S: That’s not how he sees it.

S: O’Byrne did you do something to him?

OB: What kind of a stupid fucking question is that, Sam?

He stares at her for a moment before holding up the paper, reading from it.

S: The assailant was described as a tall caucasian woman with long brunette hair–

OB: Yeah that really narrows it down–

S: And she had a hole in her neck with a cord coming out of it.

Obyrne reaches up to touch the side of her neck, where the patch is as she stares at Sam now, slightly scared

S: Sound like anyone you know?

She’s silent in response.

S: He also filed an official complaint against your conduct when you approached him, against his wishes, at the hospital. The words ‘derranged’ and ‘sick joke’ keep coming up. So do you waste your time telling everyone who’s ever experienced something weird and strange that they’ve somehow crossed through into an alternate plane of reality, and they’re the new man from Taured?

OB: He deserved to know what's going on.

S: Jesus he *just* got out of surgery, for christs sake O’Byrne would it kill you to take things a little big seriously for once?

OB: Ok look I’ll admit, its a working theory, but I’ve got evidence–

S: Oh right, yeah of course, the autopsy that never happened.

OB: … What?

S: You know I even called the place and they said there was nothing scheduled that day and as far as I can tell, Roy Tan is very much alive and well. I never received a fax, and I spent far too long chasing up yet another thing you put me onto that in the end, doesn’t exist – So do me a favour. Quit wasting his and my time, and get me a report that I can actually send back to Canberra that won’t get me fired. 

S: It’s hard enough cleaning up after you as it is.

Sam goes to leave, moving past O’Byrne. She looks disgruntled, still touching her neck.

S: And you never answered my question.

She drops her lit cigarette on the ground, crushing it under her foot to extinguish it.

OB: I think I know who did.

sometimes I do go a little crazy thinking about other characters time in the desert otherworld besides Carlos and Kevin. Dana was one of the first to be trapped there and explore it. Lauren was forced to wander it- dehydrated and starving- for years before finding Desert Bluffs Too. everyone out there with their own little pieces of otherworld trauma

posting art is so awkward because i am really anal about balancing text posts to photo posts and ordering them in a way thats pleasing but then sometimes i just drop my weird art in the middle. its like if you dropped a brick in the middle of an intricately organised pebble pattern

Do y'all ever just.... have too many activities you love??

Like, I cant dance AND sew a shirt from scratch AND read fun books AND do grad research/reading (which is fun for me, idk if that's normal) all in the same day!

Sometimes, I wish I had six clones of myself to do all the things.

(The other option is to manage my time better or delay some things to a time where I can properly dedicate attention to each thing. But, don't wanna. Too many shiny things)

Alas, the vast quantities of human desires and the very limited scope of human ability.

"Do you really think that?"

When Satsuki looked up at Sorawo to ask this, best believe my heart skipped a beat too.

Satsuki truly is an alpha woman.

With my glasses off at work, I can't even see the keyboard for the register's computer ten inches away, let alone drive.

I once lost my glasses and had to drop EVERYTHING, go to the optometrist, and get re-tested and a new pair. It completely drained what little savings I had (about $200) and kept me from being able to repair my own car for months. Just to exist. The kicker? The eye doctor I worked with tweaked the price by applying a 50% off coupon. My glasses, just regular nearsighted prescription glasses with anti glare so my migraines wouldn't get so bad, plain black plastic frames, would have been around $450 after tax.

So yeah having a VISION IMPAIRMENT is a disability. Who knew.

Made the mistake of bringing up that needing glasses is a disability on tiktok and people got real mad.

“You can fix it with glasses” yeah, cuz they’re a disability aid? But like, I still have to pay 160 bucks to use my own fucking eyes?

Like, by definition, if your eyes do not work without aid, you have a disability to see.

Having a disability doesn’t automatically put you in what people consider the “disabled” category, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is in fact, a disability.

my favorite type of interaction (sarcastic) has to be the. "oh I actually read what you said" over something I talked about a while ago and it's like.......... giving that type of energy when a girl is buying something for herself and the bf goes "oh but I was thinking of getting this for you"

Like.... Thanks for letting me know now, after I assumed, after no interactions or any indication of engagement, that you actually read something..........?
