well, here's the update to this post:

i finished it at 3am and cried a whole bunch. and not just about the story (which was very good, very tragic, and also very gay) but also the history behind the book and how it shouldn't even exist. i'll be posting a full analysis soon, Though it may take longer than I'd like (I'll be starting my first year as a teacher on Thursday). for now, i'll leave yall with these excerpts.

"...there’s something star-crossed about these two. There is a deep connection there, but the turmoil, war and politics of this world are pretty intent on pulling them away from each other." - Joey Batey (x)

Yeah...

Just so you know, if you're a guy with a 3 syllable name that begins with "R", and you so happen to experience a strong case of love at first sight for someone that sort of happens to be named "Juliet" or "Julian", you might find yourself facing a few obstacles getting in the way of your relationship.

Just saying!

A pirate raid decided to try their luck at hijacking our Ecthuctu-given ship, but Pro had it handled.

This is the tried-and-true "T'au Kapow" method. Socks was there in case melee backup was needed, but Pro is too good a shot to let anybody get past.

Then Baby Bluegum became Child Bluegum, and she's very cute— with blonde hair, for some reason. Not sure which side of the family that particular trait comes from, but it's very pretty so we won't question it.

Baby Revenant also grew up into Child Revenant, and he's too cute for words. I think, of all four Babalbil-Mossler kids, he looks the most like Duchess so far. It's probably the "ω" mouth.

This made me laugh. Imagine going, "We need someone to help us broker peace. Hmm... Oh! I know! How about the cAnNiBaL tOrTuRe CuLt down the road? They'd be perfect!"

Anyway, after I finished laughing, I sent Duchess to help out. She has level 20 social skill, and I thought we might as well. Both factions still hate us, but they went from -100 to -40 and -56, so whatever Duchess did worked.

"Romeo & Juilet and Macbeth are bad plays because the characters make poor decisions that lead to their downfall."

Friend, those plays are tragedies I.E the 'characters making poor decisions that lead to their downfall' genre. Do you get mad when there's slashing in a slasher flick?

Was telling my mom about Lorna Courtney's department from & Juliet on Broadway and she was like "Wait is that the one with the actors changing as the characters age?"

The Notebook. She was confusing & Juliet with The Notebook Musical.

Interviewer: And lyrically what is Only Ones Who Know about?

Alex: Oh that were just, so... me and me friend John McClure were once in town--this is like, it’s very old that song, I’ve had that probably when we were recording the first album but um... no, in fact, probably a little bit after. I think it must’ve been just when, like, uni term had started back or whatever, and there were like these two--this lass and this lad in town, like on a Sunday night. And they were, like, asking for directions or somewhere to go about or whatever, and I don’t know, I just sorta... they looked like they didn’t quite know each other, almost like they’d been bound together, probably had the room next door to each other in the halls or...

Interviewer: Yeah yeah

Nick: And you’ve been following them

Alex: So I followed them! For six months after that. No, but like, I don’t know, but I got that impression from them and I thought... and then I kinda daydreamed about it and that...

Interviewer: And the results are here in this song

Okay there are at least two fics in which Orion Pax is the son of a noble family and gets sparked up by Megatronus and his family are all assholes. I'm glad people are enjoying them!

I just want Orion Pax, son of a noble family, sparking up Megatronus and despite all the protests of his family, doing all he can to take care of his new little family.

I've read at least one of those fics, and i riff off of it in plotlines a lot! (I think I've talked about my "Optimus is half Camian" plotline a few times?)

Hhahahah yes. He's way so protective of his big boyfriend turned conjunx he married under the bleachers on the sly
