#every time a song from their Joint Playlist comes on i go fucking feral #the betrayal the refusal to Let Go the haunting the persisting love the renunciation the resentment the abandonment the resignation #the overwhelming desire to do good vs the fear of admitting you were wrong vs the two people you love most tearing each other apart #AGHHHHH FUCK FUCK FUCK IM SUDDENLY DEEP IN THE ORIGINAL SAUCE #five seconds i was Normal. scribbling welcome home #then One Of The Songs Came On and now im losing my fucking marbles #perceived betrayals leading to real betrayals.... #going too far and now its too late you're Committed you cant go back #he came to you thinking he could make you understand and you could work together to make things Better #and instead you ripped his heart out and left it bleeding on the floor for everyone to see #THEY MAKE ME MORE INSANE THAN LITERALLY ANYTHING #absolutely unprompted #the oc Unwellness comes and goes in waves but its the only true constant obsession with my life #god those three... my dearest darling Trio.... how old are they turning this year? #is it year eight of having them? year nine? #one of the two is for sure how long ive had My Specialest Boy Light Of My Life The Reason I Am Still Alive #the other two came after... maybe only mere months after but he was the first and he is just. i love him so fucking much #he is so so personal to me. he has a permanent place carved out in my chest #he sleeps on my ribs <3 #the other day i was reminiscing about his development over the years. his changes his different Versions #and fuck... he's really changed with me huh?? #his past selves are echoes of my own self over the years #like he is Very different from me but at the same time. i created him with little pieces of myself sewn in #we hold the same views the same beliefs. im not him and hes not me but we're Kindred yk yk #i think i need to go listen to his playlist.... how long is it now... let me check... 15 hours 13 mins... 228 songs... #my gay 5'2 powerhouse of a guy. him <3 #maybe 'them' too he's played fast and loose with gender over the years. holy shit wait #his development echoes mine... i characterized him as 'fucks with gender norms' long before i realized my own gender fuckery #god damn. i love him even more now. i didnt think that was possible. im going to cry. hes so important to me #he has been with me through my worst years... and will be with me through all the hard times to come <3

In the “billy parents the girls” au, I wonder how Sam and Billy would react to Tara being attacked by ghostface? Like one overprotective and “slightly” unstable family member wasn’t enough.

Somebody knows.

That's his first thought. Maybe he should have known something would happen on the 20th anniversary. He never thought it would come back to him. After all, there was a 'Ghostface attack' just five years prior, and it was all about Sidney. Why wouldn't it continue to be all about Sidney? Billy's dead after all.

He should have moved out of Woodsboro. It's always been risky, staying. But this was his home, and by the time he'd given up entertaining the thought of revenge against Sidney, he'd put down roots. He'd thought about moving a few years ago, when the last attacks happened and the police started sniffing around for information, but the girls had friends here, and Sam's never quite treated him the same since she learnt the truth. She would never have agreed to leave.

So here he is, staring Deputy Judy Hicks right in the face, unrecognised. God these people must be stupid, to look him right in the eyes and still not see him. He manages to talk his way back into the house with a well-placed quip about the absence of their good Sheriff and a reminder that his 14-year-old daughter, her own son's friend, who was attacked, is going to need some comforts of home and her inhaler.

He pauses to take in the murder scene on the way. He memorises the pattern of blood soaked into the living room carpet, the outline of his little girl, the kitchen knife abandoned on the floor. His own knife. They used his own knife on his daughter. When he finds out who did this, he's going to make them pay.

He packs a bag, he packs Tara's essentials, a change of clothes for Sam and the teddy bear she denies sleeping with. He heads for his own room to get some things, and that's when he learns somebody really does know.

Because Billy is scrawled across his bedroom wall in red.

Red is all he sees.

#/mp #ask box #Billy Loomis #AU: the past in the present #the tags tag #I love making baby Tara be attacked. it's so tragic. #the urge to make Sidney Ghostface here is astronomical lmao #anyway what are the logistics of there being two Mr Carpenters in Woodsboro technically and both have been seen being a father to Sam? Idk. #Billy's like 'Christina had a type what can I say'. Her husband left because he discovered the truth and he got to step up. #God I have so many thoughts about where this could go now actually #Like say it WAS Sidney. Who couldn't take knowing Billy was out there still. After everything she just couldn't take it. #She was never going to kill the girl. She just wanted to injure her. Scare her. Get Billy's attention. #But the girl fought back with unexpected ferocity. Things got out of hand. Billy uncovers her in the end and finally gets his revenge. #Gale and Dewey are distraught. Gale investigates. She discovered the truth. Billy Loomis is alive. She reveals it to the world. #Billy finally gets arrested. Tara doesn't take the reveal well. #Sam is old enough to take custody of her sister. She does her best. It isn't good enough. They both spiral. #Just a few years later her sister gets attacked AGAIN. This time it's so much worse. #Her injuries are so much more severe and the perpetrators were people they loved. It wasn't even about Billy this time. #It was about some fucking movie. #Sam moves them to New York after that. But everyone knows who they are. The daughters of a serial killer. With a body count of their own. #There's just no escape.

today i am thinking about how cerrit would have known the instant that both laerryn and loquatius died, laerryn when the telepathic bond dropped and loquatius when the talisman turned to ash in his hand

#and he knew of course #they were still alive when he left them but all three of them knew the two of them wouldn't make it #so he knew that was how it would end #but he knew the moment it happened #the exact moment he became the last surviving member of the ring of brass #and he alone in the world #knows which of them died first #or if they went out together #and idk that's got me feeling real emo today #critical role #exu calamity #cerrit agrupnin #laerryn coramar-seelie #loquatius seelie #this post brought to you by: #i read the description of the pact of the talisman and found out that it turns to ash when the warlock dies #cat talks

well my dryer did that cool thing where it takes 3 hours and then still leaves most of my clothes slightly damp. so i have to wear my slightly-too-small coat from middle school today

#its okay one of my cats absolutely loves this thing im sure hell be happy i used it again so it smells like me again #i had to pull it out a year or two ago for a surprise concert over thanksgiving break #(2 of the 4 cellos couldn't do it suddenly and if they lost enough string players they weren't going to use any of them #so my parents were like um hey want to earn some money. so then i had to learn the music in like 3 days) #and then i left it out after the concert and this cat decided it was his new favorite sleeping spot for a while #which is funny to me because the last time i had used it up to that point he wasn't even alive yet

having kara zor-el thoughts today about her getting out of her ship, and she does not yet know what she is doing so years after she was supposed to. she is trying to focus not on what she's lost, but what she still has, and her first thought is "kal can't sleep without a lullaby, i need to find him and sing him to sleep, he must be so scared and alone" because she is scared, she is alone, she wants nothing more than for someone to sing her to sleep, but it will never happen again, and if she amounts to anything now that the future she was supposed to have is gone, she will do it for her little cousin, who will never even know krypton if not for her

but her cousin is not the little baby she used to babysit, he is a grown adult, older than kara is, and she wonders how the people who took care of him got him to sleep without knowing the kryptonian lullabies he was used to (how will she sleep now?), how quickly kal adapted to the lullabies of earth instead (did he forget the sound of his home entirely?), or who she would have to sing to sleep now that kal-el doesn't need her (who can she ever share with? will she forget, too?)

#yes i'm reposting this off my twt so what #anyway you can assume i am always internally screaming about kara zor-el. i have SO many thoughts about her #the fact that she was created as a joke and her creators (also as a joke) had clark put her in an orphanage- #is of course a moment of 'hehe haha look how ridiculous silver age comics were' #but it also unintentionally sets the mood for her entire character because the one person she knew leaving kryptop she could still have #is now forever lost to her and the version of him she meets is someone else. they are isolated from each other #there's of course a lot of exploration of clark's guilt and hope and disappointment and everything else about krypton #but i'm so much more interested in kara's. she left believing she had to keep her home alive on another planet and share it with others #and she arrives to a world completely different. she meets clark and loses her family all over again because he is her family but he isn't #and there have been attempts to explore this isolation but imo they always feel just so quick and kinda cheap #this is something that will always be a problem for them. this will always stand between them because they are essentially two foreigners #to e/o. but they are also family. and it's a sliding scale which side of the equation they fall to on any given day but it will persist #running circles around my room thinking about kara idk #superman #supergirl #supers #kara zor-el #ń txt

,,,,cyrus and river probably wouldve killed eachother if fawn wasnt there during the robbery fight huh

#IM SORRY BUT LIKE #i keep thinking about how it was fawn giving up #reaching out to cyrus to beg him to let them die with company #that was the catalyst to him finding out they were alive #but i dont think??? that would happen with river???? out of stubbornness and that sweet sweet revenge scar #if river was alone. if those two were just left to fight. i dont think that fight would end until one of them ends up dead #imagine being cyrus and finding out that you for /certain/ killed your little brother without knowing it #god imagine being River and having to tell fawn what he just did #um. yeah sorry yall. i still have worms in the brain about how fucked up cyrus and rivers relationship is in the becker au #cyrus becker(s) #nmoc: river becker #keeping up with the beckers #pulp speaks

Cannot sleep :/

#just pav things #lying awake here with Inigo meta thoughts #specifically the nuances of why he never intervened when Archie and Dism were fighting #He is torn between these two ideas of reality— whether Archie is dead or alive. That is true. #But eventually the latter idea takes more of a foothold; which is just a recipe for mental disarray #It’s a break from the comfortable cycle of self-hatred and destruction. So this new thought has to be counteracted to maintain inertia #So as I understand it he’s now caught on those lingering feelings of abandonment that Archie has left him with. and he is Not Happy. #Because just as he interpreted himself as being a replacement for Dism #He’s interpreting Archie and his little motley crew as a further refusal to move on from the past #And because Inigo acts on impulse (as seen best with the 💥 arm getting blown off) he’s using that momentary anger #to distract himself from the core issue as he lashes out ✨ #He’s kind of a hypocrite that one. Stresses the importance of embracing unpleasant memories as a fundamental part of your character #(To the point of berating Idyllia for going the total memory wipe route instead) #but he is ALSO an escapist at heart. Neither of them want their definition of pain so they both have terrible routines to try avoiding it ✌ #I’m sorry if this made no sense Dolphin I will probably do a retake with more braincells in the next few days #You know I’ve been analysing the design of this kindergarten in sydney for VCD #It’s called Nubo. Now I’ve always had a fondness for Scandinavian aesthetics but this is PEAK #So I went down a research rabbit hole and I came out of it with a clear concept for what Amonea Montessori School should feel like! #It’s this sort of cross-concept between stereotypical Australian architecture and hygge #Those oak panels and muted colours and glass everywhere #And I can carry through to an overall unique visual identity for Amonea #After all Byrgir should feel similarly detached from Earth in it’s own subtle ways #Tapping more into solarpunk and that overall comforting feeling for Amonea in particular~ #I’m so happy :D

have snf kissed? i want to say yes BUT they’re both too stubborn to admit they want to kiss so they’re literally edging themselves w pulling away at the last second and now they’re too far in to just go for it knowing that the one who actually leans in first is gonna get absolutely terrored by the other for “losing”

omg i can totally see that happening! both of them too afraid to initiate things out of fear of being teased into oblivion. cause they would!

"aw babe, you had a crush on me? embarrassing" type beat

#snf #order up #i can imagine them eventually kissing but just denying it the entire time #“ew did you kiss me?” “no” “don't do it again” “i wouldn't kiss you if we were the only two left alive” #🍟

🔥 whatever you like

Thanks!

So, there's been a few articles in the past decade or so that express distaste at the comparison of Princess Diana & AB (and a fair amount of umbrage in misc comments on social media at any parallels being drawn whatsoever, generally, I'm not gonna lie, from C/oA stans...Catherine was the Princess of Wales, Catherine was the one that was popular and beloved by the people, I think these are the broader strokes they believe should be associated with her more...that Catherine was the older of the pair does not seem to matter, that Catherine was, like Camilla, the one that knew 'the prince' the longest doesn't matter, because Camilla was Other Woman and AB was Other Woman, and as such they were both hated by the public, they will never see past any other elements of the story/stereotypes than those, esp. because ultimately they believe all the animus directed at both of those women was/is entirely deserved and justified);

But what's interesting is it's not even so much on the grounds that there are always pitfalls in sanctifying people in general, it's generally pearl-clutching about how Diana deserves sanctification, deserves every possible iteration to be made of her life, and AB does not...the answer to the 'moral quandary' presented in the The Times' BSR review, "Anne Boleyn is being rebooted — but was the tragic Tudor queen a whore and a witch or the Princess Diana of the Tudor age?" by Alison W/eir was basically that she wasn't a whore or a witch, but again, her oh-the-humanity answer of "she wasn't a very nice person" and deserved her "unpopularity in her own time", and was so far from Princess Di, woe to those that popularize AB, somehow she omits herself from that list, how stupid they are to ever believe otherwise, etc

The implication of the above is more what's funny to me... she shouldn't be treated as Princess Diana, because Anne 'had a mean streak' (using "words as one would not address to a dog", from a source no less than above reproach than that of an ex-flame)... but, Diana didn't? The woman who pushed her stepmother down a flight of stairs? The woman who confronted her children's nanny with an entirely personal, private (and leaked, to her belief, although it was later revealed it was another doctoring by Bashir) medical document? Diana was sanctified because she died tragically; if she were still alive today, she would almost certainly be "cancelled"; famous (women, particularly...they are generally judged more harshly) people have been cancelled for much less.

And then we have author Vanora Bennett, who did compare them, but not favorably, and rather misogynistically (to other women, as well):

[Anne] didn’t have the knack for self-reinvention that has brought modern celebrities such as Victoria Beckham long-term success, or the tight-lipped compliance that saw Kate Middleton claim her prize after eight years of waiting for Prince William to propose.

If anything, Anne reminds me more of Princess Diana – both of them charming and glamorous, yet unable to maintain smooth relations with the royals around them; manipulative and sometimes vindictive, yet posthumously elevated to icons of victimhood; dying too soon and leaving young children to cope with their tragic legacy.

Unfortunately this assessment has also been given academic gloss, but luckily this has mainly been limited to GW Bernard's asinine, quasi-profound remark that since Diana had sex outside of her marriage, AB probably did, too.

Idk, I've honestly just been thinking about this because I've been thinking about fan reactions as I watch The Crown, puzzled by how Peter Morgan is so good at writing those royals, but so bad at writing these royals...

Because, really, I think there are elements of both Camilla and Diana's stories in AB's? On the surface level, you have ebullient, charismatic, cheated on by her husband, husband dated her sister 1st, (honestly, never not going to be a weird thing, it must have been borne out of...I suppose, both the utterly limited society of 'acceptable' people to interact with for those of extreme wealth and the entitlement and belief you're above such provincial concerns as ‘That's Weird’), which is probably what led to that being motif in the Kristen Stewart as Diana movie.

And then, Anne was unpopular, but it was said basically, that...those who knew her, loved her, and those that didn't were, at the least, captivated by her despite themselves.

How much of her contemporary slander was from people that had only ever glimpsed her? I think we forget that when we forget how late the sixth-finger and other misc. deformities were alleged. 'Goggle-eyed whore' is the mark of someone who saw her from enough of an distance that the only feature of note was those infamous, large eyes.

Often people confuse charisma with popularity, very often they go together but they are not interchangeable, not synonymous. Charisma can only take effect within intimate contexts. As such, it's true that Anne had one but not so much the other.

Who knows how she might have fared, popularity-wise, if she'd had the powers of radio, TV, etc at her disposal...they're creative reimaginings out of her control/remit, but she has those now and seems to have done better on that front in immortality than she did in mortality/life.

What we have basically is two elements -- "royal mistress" and "threatening the image of the monarchy", and maybe even a little “marrying for love [when royal]”. These are all broad narrative stripes that are seen as “scandalous”, all seen as disruptive, against status quo, so they are always going to inspire creators. At the end of the day, the hand-wringing over that inspiration rings ... insipid? Naiive? Take your pick.

like idk. i miss seeing content from s.igne (though i respect gab wholeheartedly). i miss fanart from my favorite artists. i miss older eras of j.se at times (and yes, there were older eras, the way people pretended he Never Changed is just weird). i miss old anti designs. i miss the old fic trends. i miss having a very active fandom (though i am so happy to see the new arrivals) and i miss seeing him interact with fans the way he did on tumblr back in the day. i miss the way i used to interact with some of the blogs here before i decided to fuckin,,, wage holy war and make enemies out of them (joking, but i have seen sides to some of these people that i wish i could tear out of my memory). i miss feeling confident that i could trust the good intentions of people here and even the big man himself (not god. that makes sean sound like god. you know what i mean). i miss when some of you weren't so fucking bitter which is funny because i'm the bitterest bitch alive. idk. i don't think it's bad to miss any of these things because i'm not going to be an ass and act like it's anybody's fault. i'm not going to be bothered by gab for being happy because i'm glad she is happy, and i'm not going to get bothered by sean taking a reasonable step back from this hellsite when people were cruel to him, and i'm not going to get mad at trends for changing because that is how time works. but i do miss things and i know its cringe and parasocial and perhaps even problematic but i hate having to pretend like i never have Any feelings about the past lest i break a hypothetical rule of what is the Normal level of attachment to an online community. okay. i think i'm done now.

#one of my favorite writers left because they couldn't deal anymore and one of my favorite writers turned out to have shit views and one of #my favorite writers left because of something that was partly my fault and one of my favorite writers stopped writing because of two of the #others and one of my favorite writers hurt someone i love over and over and over and one of my favorite writers left because they were the #someone i love. two of the big names hate queer folk that don't align with their ideals and half the artists left for twitter or for dead. #the man himself left because criticism always becomes cruelty and people lie to make themselves feel good. #the editors all turned their accounts private and my favorite told me on livestream that i was good and starting somewhere but then forgot #my name. and i thought maybe i was the bitter one but then i look at some of the other people who have been here so long and wonder why #they even bother anymore because they care more about complaining with everything j.ack does than anyone who actually enjoys his stuff. #and you know i poked fun at *** for a lot of things. some deserved some not. and one of them was the fact that she compared fandom #to warfare. and yes that's still silly i don't think it's a fair comparison but i do know that she wasn't fully wrong. #when you've been here for a long time and ive Been here for a long time you start to get really used to names and faces #and the change can be like waking up to a new wallpaper in your room. not a bad one just a new one. #i don't want to pretend that this fandom is just a silly little hobby for me when lets be honest i know some of yalls personal lives a #little too dearly for that. ive loved people here ive lost people here the first person who showed me this place fucking DIED and i still #lose it sometimes over the fact that he would have loved jameson so much and we couldve been closer friends had he stayed alive a few more #years. so yeah. sorry for being fucking cringy or whatever but there have been times where i've felt like im on a sinking ship watching #everybody else row away and i refuse to go. so like. cool. cool. im glad things are good again but i never really got to process the bad #things.

[marklikely]

i really do wonder if we'll see the end of the mcu soon though cause the quality of the movies has undeniably been getting worse, and ive noticed a lot of casual fans (which is what most people i know are, including myself, at least a few years ago when i would have actually considered myself a fan at all) are completely uninvested in phase 4 and havent really liked any of the movies lately. plus with how fast theyre pushing them out, overexposure could lead to a huge backlash soon

#when i say soon i mean like within 10 years because the disney project plans stretch out so far into the future #i mean idk we might get a big collapse that cancels a ton of future projects like with star wars but i doubt it #avpost #but idk i think mcu backlash is definitely a lot more common now than it was five or six years ago #but then again i think of how like all they had to do was get people from the raimi trilogy to stand on screen #and that was enough to get a ton of people to consider nwh to be great even though it sucks #not that thats necessarily proof that the movies are gonna survive either since a lot of people also didnt like nwh #i dont know it just feels like every release is either middling reviews or extremely mixed reviews. only those two options #plus they all get like almost no hype and excitement and then they leave the conversation so fast #people were talking about infinity war for MONTHS before release. like IN DEPTH talk. big major hype. #and then after it came out people were speculating and writing theories the ENTIRE time until endgame #nobody is talking about doctor strange 2 anymore and that was like two months ago #in two weeks or less nobody will be talking about love and thunder anymore im sure #nobody even noticed eternals. nobody talks about shang chi or black widow. #even the shows like the only one that left any sort of impact was wandavision. #the rest just like. air. and i dont ever see them come up in conversation or online after like the first couple episodes #(keeping in mind that im sure the most hardcore of fans are invested but im talking abt the general population) #(which is like. probably more important cause you cant keep a project this big alive on a specific fanbase alone)

[biillys]

crazy that billys dead and the only time both him and max were on screen together and interacting was when max was hallucinating him yet this season really really hit the they're SIBLINGS vibe so hard. the amount of times max was doing something on screen and i was like oh you know billy's her brother like you know

#not even the way she dressed and used music to cope even tho they are extremely. Billy Vibes #but more in the way she was like. handling life post billy post neil drunk mom etc #pushing everyone away #also the hellfires shirt scene w dustin and max being sarcastic #wait. when the cop called her mean #okay i say all this not to be like. make out that max is billy or whatever like max is her own person #w her own personality and strength etc #im saying that there was just a lot of moments this season where i was like they were important parts of each others lives for so long #and max seems more comfortable w letting that through now. probably due to the tragic circumstances #that hes not around to bitch at her for stealing his jacket or shitty attitude #its late im wording this wrong #anyway! cant wait for season five where we can all go oh hes HER brother. #cant wait for him to pull some max level shit. #cant wait for the various different groups and parties to be like. head in hands Theres Two Of Them 😢 #maybe also tragically happening becos if max doesnt help his memory survive like if she doesnt keep his name alive #then who will #basically BASICALLY if someone in s4 said to her 'oh you remind me of him' #whether it be positive or negative. probably negative lbr. #she'd feel fucked up about it but mainly proud but like in a twisted way #cos in her own words. ever since he left things have been a disaster. and she hasnt really been handling it all that well #her coping mechanisms are maybe leaving little to be desired #homes turned to shit #and billys gone. and max understands him more than ever #and she can't even tell him. commiserate with him. ask him why. #okay i literally need sleep none of this makes sense im so sorry #m #text

i never fault fic writers for not updating regularly because i'm like normal but there's this one fic i started reading about three years ago that i loathe the author for because i started it because the description read "the fic is done i'll post a chapter once a week :)" and then they just. stopped at week four. and i never got over it it's been three years and eight days

#i don't actually loathe them. #it's just #only one chapter left #WHY why would you say everything was already written if it wasn't #like i don't care i probably would have forgotten about the fic by now if it hadn't been for that #i just hated being lied to #i remember since it was right at the start of covid i was like oh maybe they died (it's not funny) #but they didn't. they're still alive #post the last chapter i thought it was done #i really just don't get it #maybe they reread it and didn't like it anymore #but like😭😭😭😭 #in other news ​two fics i started reading more than a year ago that hadn't been updated 365+ days were updated very recently #IN 365+ days #you win some you lose some #i still read fics that aren't completed because i like taking risks #and also again. i don't really care i have other fics that haven't been updated in 2+ years and i'm like oh well #it's just that THEY SAID IT WAS DONE #and like i say: brf slt

Sorry to talk about my own writing so much but man. There sure is some early installment weirdness (tm) in the first chapter of wires crossed. You can tell there were a lot of details I hadn't worked out... everyone's personality is a little off, especially Cindy; it's vaguely implied that all of Lyra's bandmates know about her death and resurrection rather than just Neil; and most contradictory of all, it's implied that Lyra doesn't have any family apart from Tucker, which in later chapters would prove to be not true even a little bit

#the first two are more excusable because a) people's personalities are changeable and b) the others DO know about her accident #and that she ''almost'' died. so you could read it as them thinking about that #but the family detail is just. incorrect #yeah lyra's parents don't understand her very well and she isn't super close to her aunt and uncle anymore either #but they're all still alive and living in the same town as her. her parents JUST GAVE HER A KITTEN #and here she is being like yeah im basically an orphan probably #it's very funny in retrospect honestly. i didn't need to include that detail i could have just been like #oh she doesn't feel like sending the holidays with her parents because they don't get her. which is what wound up being the case #rather than implying that tucker is the only family she has left. if that were the case their dynamic would be WILDLY different #wires crossed

But it was weird that Sonic was there tho

#I love realizing That at the end I had turned myself despite being the only survivor #That was cool and I actually kinda want to go more in depth #So like it started out with me vibing with an f/o fishing and playing with a dog in the water #He left and the reaper invasion started?!?!
