#why is this dynamic so familiar?

[kiivg]

i think twelve and clara are starting to make sense to me but i don't think it's what moffat intended or how the ppl that like them see their dynamic

[mikesbasementbeets]

just realized all three boys' parents are standing behind them at will's funeral

these are clearly meant to be lucas' parents, who were then recast for s2, when they took on a more significant role. and mike's parents are behind him which means that these two people on screen right:

are meant to be dustin's parents

guys . please hear me out

I'm gonna be real I have no clue how I'd ever post Tiger crawl home, it's so atypical compared to the way I write now. Like new stories I'm so clearheaded about what parts characters serve in the narrative, I know what I want to say, even if it's something more freeform like my stuff with Leopard which is contained and has a purpose in my mind. Tiger Crawl home as a story and not just a headworld exists as years of script like snippets I can't post without feeling like I'm having a public vivisection. Like it's easy to write complex characters when you are Writing them with purpose.

Tiger Crawl home isn't like that, these guys are like an insane pseudo mirror of my life via the way of untreated mega mental illness and schemas and abused kid delusions ages 14 to 22. Like this is the kind of story that I feel like can only exist in some weird 62 hour long visual novel with zero payoff but it alters your life somehow. Saying it has arcs is generous, I will write 8 page half script half summaries about how Damian is avoidant of homes and owns virtually nothing, how they choose concrete basements to rest in because it reminds them of cages, and it's a reason to never become comfortable, and why, and how, and how it changes over time but stays the same and how it effects those around you to come and go like a stray cat, hissing, disappearing and purring and staying in the same breath. Obviously I'm being so self indulgent in combining all my passions in clothing, design, themes and creatures in here, I put plenty in here just because I think it's cool and fun but the writing itself only exists as like agonizingly slow crawls through suicide attempts and relationship dynamics that might not ever get to a truly healthy and clean place. It means the world to me, I don't know how to actually show it raw to anyone though.

idk how I developed the hc that Raine and Darius were briefly foster siblings in their last year of highschool. But I did. And now I think about it 24/7

[bravevolunteer]

idk when i made my movie verse i was trying to keep it as unobtrusive as possible since everything was so fresh but man….. thinking about all the mike afton theories where he wasn’t necessarily too young to remember anything related to that but his “memories” are just so unreliable due to trauma

reading fics and wishing you could offer your services as an editor in the comments. like please let me help you make this better. unfortunately no one wants unsolicited advice from strangers about the things they create for fun. tragic! unfathomable! heartbreaking!

Me: I'm fine about my autism now btw, like I've come to terms with my fixated interests, limited tolerances and social inabilities. The alienation it brings is not ideal but it's just a reality I've gotta deal with now that I know it's just a part of who I am. I mean, it's not like an awkward conversation is gonna ruin anyone's life, is it? We'll both move on from it eventually. This is fine!

Also me: physically unable to watch beyond the first word of the first question of The Assembly because oh my god what if someone says something awkward or controversial or someone can't make themselves understood people are gonna get mad and scream about it online and I will freeze up and be stuck in the backlash forever I don't know how to handle conflict AT ALL let's just hide in the corner behind the sofa instead wait what if I became a hermit actually yeah yeah yeah that sounds good let's do that

[kindacreepy-kindaugly]

I guess it feels so comfortable cause it reminds me of the way things were at their best

i love raydon so much i just adore the progression of their relationship throughout the series. how don admires ray and wants so so badly to be close to him and how ray wants to be close to don as well but constantly pushes him away because getting close to this hyperactive dork knowing he's going to die hurts way too much and he knows that if they did get close and don lived until his planned death date don would be absolutely devastated. so he simply continues to push him away because he thinks it's better for both of them, while don is hurt but just brushes it off as ray ‘being a downer’ because he doesnt know why he seems to be so distant!!

the apology in episode 6 being the first major breakthrough in their relationship and having don making one of the softest smiles in the series, he’s just SO happy to be making this progress with ray and its so touching. and how after that their relationship only gets better, to the point where don gets so overjoyed to see that ray is safe he tackles him, and even starts crying.

i just. love their relationship its so underrated i love the idea of don spending so long admiring ray from a distance and him finally being allowed to get close to him and actually get to know him and all that admiration slowly turning into genuine love, and ray experiencing these warm, soft feelings he never thought he'd live to feel and the weight of them all shocking him to his core, and shocking don too. i love the thought of these two boys who grew up desperately wanting to know each other but being unable to finally being given that chance and running with it, opening up about their insecurities and being soft and vulnerable and giving each other the pure adoration they both deserve <3

ilana on the other hand he will happily cover for her <3 ( ft. @uroborosymphony )

“Do you want a drink?” In hindsight, he realizes it’s a stupid question: she works at the Black Velvet Bar- why would she buy a drink there? That’s like a waiter ordering food at the restaurant they already work at. Still the offer is made and at this point, he can’t take it back. “I can cover for it.” An awkward pause as he glances at the stage she just sang on. “You…you sounded good- I liked it. Your song.”

💭 - about her childhood upbringing / family dynamics [ was her family the type to do holidays? ], did bri attend etiquette school?

𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓬𝓪𝓷𝓸𝓷𝓼 — send 💭 + a topic to receive a headcanon about said topic. ( accepting !! )

Nannies, an all-girls private school, and 24-hour security ensuring her safety against kidnapping or maiming by rival corps. The typical life of an elite corpo kid.

Born in London with a silver spoon in her mouth, Brianne Corinne Landry is the only child of Henry Landry, COO of Arasaka Bank EU, and Corinne Guyot, a wealthy French socialite and freelance interior designer. The couple was a mismatch of sorts. Sure, both came from wealthy backgrounds: the Landrys made their millions in international financial investing. Their London and Hong Kong-based firm survived the economic crashes by going exclusive with Arasaka in the 1980s and leaving HK before the plague. The Guyots built their empire in French real state. While Henry continued his father’s dedication to Arasaka, filing into corpo life, Corinne was more than content to enjoy the freedoms of wealth. They met while Henry was in Paris.

A father who unforgivingly worked long hours and a mother who was not fond of a life domestically caged in (and in London) made for an unhappy marriage. Corinne and Henry were divorced and Corinne moved back to Cannes, France. Brianne spent time between the two locations (London and Cannes) though was primarily raised by her grandmother in London. 

Growing up, any “quality” time spent with daddy dearest was on his day off or for an early nighttime tuck-in. He instead provided her with everything she needed to succeed (preferably in his footsteps at Arasaka). Besides her grandmother, nannies did their fair share of raising her, as did tutors and school. 

While the spitting image of her mother, Brianne is her father’s daughter in disposition. However, she is most akin to her grandmother in terms of her compassion and empathy. Paternal pressure aside (he was always the stricter parent), she felt compelled to make her father proud in her studies. There’s also an uncle, aunt, and cousin on her father’s side and a half-sister and stepmother who were all influences. Her grandmother always made sure Landry holidays were special (with all the trimmings one should expect). Her stepmother was also the same. On her mother’s side, the wealthy Guyots would celebrate together in grand style with a yearly retreat to the family-owned vineyard in Burgandy, France.

An idyllic childhood? Yes, when the basic necessities are hard to come by for the majority of the population. Reflective how the corpo elite is able to maintain their positions on top by having access to resources and education. Was it restrictive? Very. Set within the parameters of class, heavily guarded estates and school campuses, and expectations to succeed by whatever means necessary. That is, to use all your luxe resources to their advantage.

As far as etiquette school, her all-girls schools covered it. The best posture money could buy.
