your post-canon utah AU makes me want to eat drywall i love them so much 😭

they mean so much to me 😭💕

oughhhh I wish my thoughts about the au weren't so incoherent 99% of the time so that I could talk about it more

it's just so... the sheer size of the world is so much bigger than the smp. this world has billions of people. yet here they are, c!dream and c!wilbur, in some random town in utah. they're the only familiar face in this giant world. (technically there are other members of the smp in this world, but it's not like c!dream and c!wilbur know this).

they don't really talk about their shared history, but it still inhabits the space around them. c!wilbur wakes to cold sheets every morning, but it doesn't change the fact that c!dream sleeps in the same bed as him every night. c!wilbur hated the fact that there was such a blatant reminder of the smp in his house. he hated when c!dream left for a week. c!dream didn't initially want to stay with c!wilbur. but, as far as he knows, there's not another familiar face in this whole entire world.

c!wilbur is in therapy by time c!dream arrives. it takes months for him to even bring up the mere idea of c!dream trying therapy. they start leaning on each other. they start caring about each other. c!wilbur hates himself for how much he wants c!dream. c!dream just wants c!wilbur to wash away the pain he doesn't admit is there. c!wilbur is practically drowning in guilt when he looks at what c!dream's become. a part of c!dream resents c!wilbur. a part of c!wilbur resents c!dream. they don't talk about it until they do. eventually, eventually they try couple's group therapy.

things get better. then they get worse. and then they get so much better.

at some point, much later, c!dream looks at c!wilbur—once again complaining about the people who don't know how to use the traffic circle even though c!wilbur can't even drive—and he thinks, I love you. at some point, c!wilbur looks at c!dream—sweat causing his hair to stick to his forehead, swollen lips tugged into a smirk—and he thinks, I love you.

they want each other—they crave each other—and c!wilbur hates himself for it. then they care about each other, and it makes c!dream want to snarl and bare his teeth. then they love each other, and they realize that they love this soft, domestic epilogue that they stumbled into years ago.

it gets better. they heal. they don't talk about everything until they do, and then those hurts get better, too. and some days it still feels like they don't really deserve this peace they've found, but they love it anyway.

and they have friends. friends who give them christmas gifts and invite them to new year's parties. friends who laugh with them and bring them baked goods.

eventually they stumble across more people from the smp. it's not fine until it is. which is kinda the big thing with this au. it eventually gets better.

this is the only gecko species native to utah it looks like if you made a leopard gecko pointy instead of round. theyre also way smaller.

My Major suddenly attracted a lot of US-Americans this year so now half the major is students from the US and it's been a few months but I cannot get over how surreal an experience it was to go from having met maybe 2 Americans IRL in my life to unexpectedly being surrounded by TV Voice TM

I shall be writing letters to my state representatives this weekend because Moms for Liberty basically just told my public library system that they are the next book ban target, so uh wish me luck with that I guess

The pure cuddly joy of spending a cold Colorado morning sending Instagram cat reels back and forth with the love of your life because he's in Utah for the week and you're not

[mrsmarlasinger]

Where's the collaborative Google doc??? I need to see the list of temples because I think one of them is in my city

[twinktosterone]

maybe i should spend more time on instagram cause the algorithm handed me a reel from a local emo band that’s playing a house show that i can maybe go to

What does Cassie do if her hearing aids die?

“The batteries last pretty long, and I carry my charger on me usually so I don’t have to worry about that. Suppose if they died and I for some reason didn’t have my charger, then I'd have to lip read till I could get them charged. I’m not bad at it, but it's still pretty tough to do sometimes.”

Sometimes I browse queerstake just to see what mental gymnastics the queer Mormons are doing to justify staying in a church built on racism, homophobia, and the exploitation of women. It's usually a mistake.
