I hope Fyodor is actually dead because I started thinking about how Nikolai would react to finding out that this death was yet another one of Fyodor's plans and I feel unwell.
i’m still thinking this through but i don’t think cori ever really held any resentment for hydaelyn. like yes being hydaelyn’s chosen is a burden that they have had varying feelings about being given from “im glad it’s me because i want to help” to “why was it me when i can’t even save my loved ones” to “im glad it’s me so that no one else has to do it” and maybe it was unfair but i don’t think they’ve ever resented hydaelyn for it. and they’ve never truly wanted it to be someone else.
"Some days I wake up and think, what if I'm not as great as I thought I was? What if all this time people have been lying to my face while laughing at my behind my back."
She turned to look at him desperately searching his face for a confirmation of her fears.
"I think I'd rather die than be imperfect."
With each sentence her breathing had becomes more labored. He couldn't risk Ansi facing an asthma attack while undergoing a crash.
"Sisi where's your inhaler?"
"What if I'm not perfect?"
She ignored him and continued on with her delusions.
"What if all this time it's just been dumb luck? What if all these years that I've spent slaving away to be who I am now were meaningless."
He was spiraling now. There wasn't much that Hobie could say to get through to him at this point. He could only sit and ride through storm.
Also a small detail, but I love that the movies build up on each other--I didn’t realize that the guy Kraglin was working with was the dispatcher that Drax yanked out to call Ronan back on Knowhere. And even amongst the Knowhere residents, there are a lot of familiar faces, not necessarily just Cosmo and the Broker, that appeared previously.
I just think it’s cool, it makes Knowhere feel like a real place that the Guardians were building as both an HQ and a home.
For the creative brainworms that won't morph into gpose or fic, this is your invitation to just ramble about any creative idea that you have rn! I'm suffering from the same Affliction TM so I wanna offer some help lmao
ty nero! i hope we can both overcome our Affliction soon 😭
i've been going back and forth in my brain between a couple things. one is affair au which i've talked about too much for what little i have written aklsdjfsd and the other is the TA romance AU, a modern AU where shtola is a young university professor and cori becomes her TA. and. there's romance lmao. i started writing it a bit the other day because i have in my mind like a montage of scenes from the semester where cori is shtola's student and their building friendship/dynamic that leads to shtola asking cori to be her TA/cori offering to be it. but the sentences were not flowing and for some reason in my mind i have to do that before i can start writing any other scenes from it even though that really doesn't make any sense LMAO
also still want to write the corishtola first kiss and i think i might try to gpose it today and see if that sparks anything lol
today i started down a spiral of "oh my god im a college dropout im never gonna succeed if i go back" and then i remembered i applied for and got all my financial aid and scholarships without help, dropped out after six failed classes and was forced to drop out my third semester, and paid for all my tuition myself, all before i turned 16 years old
