28 47 77

(ask game: send me a number between 1-101 and i’ll give you my favorite lyric from that song on my spotify wrapped)

24 - call them brothers (regina spektor ft. only son)

chip at the bricks and fill up your pockets with the pieces of the wall that you stole

47 - me and my husband (mitski)

and all of my memories and all of the things i have seen will be gone with my eyes with my body with me

77 - fireworks (mitski)

and one warm summer night i'll hear fireworks outside and i'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry

#badly representative selection except for the fact there are 2 songs by one artist (my autism) #the two going first make me feel so mainstream. so gauche. alas they are on a lot of playlists and are also good songs #mothposting #ask game #rosenthral

i hope you're happy, because you managed to make EVERYONE cry

that is such a sad idea! like, knowing how the only cordy that has the memories of the host still has some gaps there and there means that vi may end up forgetting things. what would be worse is that she may forget some things she did together with the team. even worse: maybe the cordy will also forget things which, you know, is BAD in a way. like, it may end up forgetting more important things.

tho, this really shows how she's also kind. like yeah, she uses bravado and anger to deal with her emotions, but that doesn't mean she's completely bad! she's just a teen after all (which also makes the situation sadder, since of course everyone would assume that she is lying; she's just a child! no one really believes a child, they are easy to manipulate. like, she is NOT lying but nobody believes her. the fact that she ends up in such a bad situation is horrible, since no child should fear the people that were close to her. of course she can't see the queen like a kind being anymore; she doesn't understand that she KNOWS. she KNOWS what she's saying, so of course vi would feel betrayed; no one takes her seriously)

tbh i also really like how you made crow be the one who helps them in escaping. it's a nice touch, considering that the team comments on how she seems to be overworked. she could have easily overheard the discussion (since it's a tattle) which was a sign for her that hey, someone cares a little for her.

(btw, you're working on a fic? that's awesome! also sorry for this whole dump! i'm very interested) - mothposts (i'm on mobile so i can't send an ask from my account)

Good! If I had to cry so did everyone else!!!!

on the memory thing: :)

Yeah nobody ever believes kids or teenagers about anything, I remember how much that pissed me off as a kid. I never could understand why I would have to explain myself about w/e, if the adult in question had already made up their mind, but was just hearing me out "to be fair" or some bs.

which as an adult now, there is a degree of "oh this is teenage emotions/oh yeah they're a teen. teens just be like that." Teenagers are very emotional, they lash out A Lot.

The teenage years are when you start learning all sorts of shit. You learn that adults don't actaully know everything, they probably don't know much more than you. Teenagers are really getting into the concept their own personal morals and ethics, every single small issue seems huge to them! This is the first time they're dealing with stuff in a context more complex than "following the rules is good, otherwise is bad."

anyway, kids aren't stupid. adults just tend to get up their own asses so much that they forget kids are just inexperienced people. Have you ever heard of baby powder effect? i think its called?

it's the concept that someone who changed your diapers is never going to take you seriously. anyone who knew you when you were just a baby are never going to see you as fully functioning adult, and worse, as an adult of equal standing. I'm sure that when you are the mother of your entire kingdom, you might have a problem with listening to your subjects.

Yes with crow it's also that she is the assistant to the head scientist. you don't see someone you know play card with occasionally get vivisected and just, go on with your day.

i have Thoughts on Kabbu and Jaune :)

Yes! the fic i'm working on is actually just fleshing out these concepts! I'm just adding narration, concrete series of events, and slighter better drawings. I already have seven chapters outlined lol.

#y'all are gonna get a pavlonian response to me going :) #i already wrote most of ch 1 #but it need editing and also i think i'm gonna change it from 3rd person to second. #partially cause i think that second person really brings emotions and thought to the forefront of the story #and partially cause i just kept slipping into second person and wasting time correcting myself lol. #chit chat #ask #long post #mkb au

#it's not long but it's also the first original story i've finished in years so. #feel pretty solid about it :) i dont know but at least the scifi/fantasy magazine will have at least one submission #mothposting

[franzmasc]

someday i'm going to write that fic that's just an anthology of investigations era weirdgirl couple kisses they'll be like vignettes it will be so good

#said weirdgirls are maya ema franziska and kay #i just think they all kiss a little especially around that time in their lives #i need to play some of investigations first though #also i need practice writing tangible romance scenes instead of just introspective character work in the context of ships #mothposting

in theory the tordotcom monthly free ebook is great. it's sick. i love being able to get new releases and classics alike and to own them and have them in an easily navigated format! but in practice i use the library so heavily i always have to allot time to my library books to not run out of time and i never ever read my tor books

#all the time i make posts that would make someone go wow the average #age of this site is getting older #but no i'm just an autistic teen #i love <3 books i love <3 libraries #mothposting #like tor gave me the murderbot first book + 2 others in february #but i have to finish lolita and i have like water for chocolate checked out :( 3 weeks left to finish both
