tbh Riza is one of the few female characters where I don't mind that she has the whole "only one with the braincell" thing going on and that's bcs Mustang is a fucking dumbass and she will literally go anywhere and do just about anything with him, and also he's her emotional support dumbass and several times it is shown that she can barely fucking hold it together when he's not around, up to and including straight up admitting she'd rather die than be in a world without him
like you think Mustang would never be able to get anything done without Riza but baybee it's a fucking two way street she needs him just as bad

I can FEEL my brain plotting another fic at the back of my mind and I’m not pleased about it
This is the downside of having a brain that’s constantly processing, analyzing, and solving things, with or without my consent (or conscious effort). Entire fics will suddenly just unfold inside my mind, fully plotted and ready to go — that my brain has somehow managed to compose behind my back — and my only choices are to write them down or ignore them.
Or, as I explained it to my friend:
I sometimes feel like my brain is a dog that comes in from the outside with something poking out of its mouth and I have to go: "What is that? Where did you get that? Give it here!"
And then the dog proceeds to barf up an entire dissertation on my rug.
Brain, no.

3. Painkillers
@sicktember
Set some time after Fao's Accident, and this
Fao’s most recent surgery had only been yesterday. They’d apparently been finally happy enough with everything else to make an attempt on his hip fixation. They’d explained the risks, that he was young and they didn’t want to do a full replacement just yet. They had other options, they explained, but that there was always the risk that they’d fail and they’d need to replace the joint anyway. Tired and overwhelmed already, Fao had agreed. He didn’t want a replacement, not if they could help it.  
Apparently the surgery had gone very well, the fracture reduced and the screws and plate inserted. He’d been okay yesterday, having had a nerve block during surgery for pain control. Now it was well and truly wearing off, and didn’t he know it. He’d hardly slept that night, as the pain crept in, and now it was spreading down his entire leg. His hip, his knee, his ankle and his foot were all agony. He couldn’t move it, the pain just infinitely worse, even from just twitching his toes. Everything else hurt, too. His shoulder was agony, his ribs burned, and the incision across his chest pulled with every breath. He’d been so tense, every panted breath agony, that his jaw was hurting too now, spreading right up into his head. It felt like someone had a vice on his skull.  
He’d finally caved and asked for painkillers around 2 am. The nurse had promised him she’d get some, and then promptly disappeared. He must have pressed his buzzer four or five times after that, asking for something, anything. But each time it was “oh I’ll go and ask” or “sorry I can’t get controlled drugs” or “I did ask but I’m not sure what’s happened”. He was sick of it. Absolutely sick of it all. 
Finally, the shift changed, and he still hadn’t had any medication. He felt horrendous, his head spinning and every breath worse than the one before. He hated himself for doing it, but he reached for his buzzer again, pressing it. By this point he was close to tears, trying to hold in each stuttering breath to stop it completely tipping him over the edge. 
He knew Sheila would be in soon. She usually always was, but he was desperate for her not to see him like this. He’d already put her through enough, she didn’t need this too. She couldn’t see him in this state. Nor could any of the family. His breath caught and shuddered and before he knew it he was sobbing, which only served to make the pain worse. He couldn’t do this any more, he needed something. Just because he was stoic and quiet didn’t mean he wasn’t in pain. Did he have to break just to get something? 
One of the nurses finally pushed open his door, tutting at the state of him. "Oh, Major. What's happened? You were doing so well with it yesterday."
"They…they didn't give me any pain relief." He managed between sobs. "I kept asking an' asking. Since 2am, ‘ve been askin’."
"Bless. Let me go check for you, okay? I'll be right back."
Fao's heart sank again. It was just another excuse, and he didn't know how much more he could take. Each breath was agony and he almost wished each one to be his last, just anything to stop the pain. He lay sobbing to himself, his mind starting to spiral as the pain overwhelmed him. He was just a burden to them, to his family. They were going to see him like this, all broken and bruised, unable to breathe with the pain. He'd be no conversation, have no patience for their lighthearted chatter, and they didn’t deserve it. Maybe if he could reach the side of the bed, he could do something, anything to end it, to make it better for them. He turned his head to look, his face still wet with tears. If he could just -
"Right, Major. Here we go. I've got some pain relief for you, okay? And you're due some more fluids too." She returned to his side, gently patting his arm. "We'll get you sorted, don't you worry."
Fao didn't say anything, but watched her sort his line out and flush it. She was nice enough, one of the better ones, and he trusted her. The fact she'd managed to get him some relief was a miracle in Fao's eyes. 
"It might make you feel a little dizzy, a bit woozy, but I suppose you know all this, eh?" She chatted away to him as she slowly pushed the drugs. "There we go, we'll keep on top of that pain now, yeah? Got it written for every few hours, not just when you ask. You lot are a stubborn bunch at times. I suppose it comes in handy-"
Fao had stopped paying attention at some point, the room spinning as usual. Eyes closed, the room stayed slightly more still, but he didn't have the option to keep them open. The drugs were dragging him down, and he let them. He gave a heavy sigh in relief, a small hum in gratitude. His shoulders slumped and the tension drained out of him. His nurse was still chatting away as she finished giving the meds and started to hang the fluids. With her using his line in his good arm, he struggled to rub his eyes with his bad arm. He winced, sniffing to himself. He tried to focus on what she was saying, knew she was making an effort to try and cheer him up. Even with the medication making his thoughts slow and syrupy, he forced himself to listen, managing to crack his eyes open. 
“Oh, back with us, are you? I know I ramble, but I didn’t know I was that boring.” She said lightly, squeezing his good shoulder. “Here, I’ll bet that makes it worse. I’ll help you get washed and dressed? Wash that face, get rid of those tears. I can help you have a shave, if you want? I’m sure you’ll feel better for it. Your mum will be in soon, and she’ll skin us alive if she finds out we’ve not looked after you right. And I think the physios will want to be in to see you soon. Shall I try and put them off until the afternoon? Give you some time first?”
Fao finally managed to take a deep breath. It still hurt, and it shuddered as he exhaled, but he managed it. Slowly, he nodded. “Please. Please to everythin’. But I need time, ‘ve not slept. An hour, please. Jus’ to sleep.” Now the pain had finally started to ebb, he could feel sleep creeping up on him. An hour to sleep, and then he’d be alright. 
“Of course. You’ve got your buzzer. I’ll be right here if you need me, alright? And I’m going to speak to someone about last night. They can’t treat you like that.”
Fao was quiet for a long time, slipping into sleep just for a moment. 
“Thank you… I-I mean it.”

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".
it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.
do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.
but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.
do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).
you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.
walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.
no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.
do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."
you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.
there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.
i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.
he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

I'm not the first to mention this, but one bit that I thought was really clever in Steven Universe is the ways in which the show subtly justifies the cartoonism of the principle cast always wearing the same outfit for ease-of-animation purposes. The gems are a gimme in that they're all hardlight-projections, and even before that's solidified as a plot point they're otherworldly and superheroic enough that you don't really think to question it. But Steven canonically just owns hundreds and hundreds of those star shirts, which are leftover merchandise from his father's fizzled-out career as a rock star. Into which you can read a whole bunch of other stuff if you really want to, right? And I do want to. It's reflective of Greg's misplaced optimism that he got hundreds of those made in the first place, and it's a benign but visible example of how Steven's life is shaped by the knock-on effects of decisions his parents made before he was even alive. He's got his mother's superpowers and he's wearing his father's shirts.

Headcanon where after so many arguments between the batkids and Bruce over his paranoia and complete disregard for his kids privacy, the entire family had compromised with (in the healthiest way possible) downloading life360 on their phones and that's how they all keep track of each other.
Now Bruce knew that this is mostly for his benefit and is supposed to be a healthy alternative for his unhealthy paranoia and helicopter parenting, but what he wasn't expecting was for his kids to start keeping track of him.
He's putting gas in his car and Dick calls him because apparently Dick has been watching him drive around on the app? And Bruce is currently at a gas station thats right around the corner from a Taco Bell and now Dick wants him to get food for everyone since he's already there.
He's driving home from a meeting and Steph calls him because her and Duke were shopping in the area and wants to know if he can pick them up, when he asks how she knew he was on the same street, he gets a "Oh I just like to stalk everyone on the app for funsies." as an answer.
Jason calls him and he can barely get out a hello before Jason cuts him off, "Bruce why the fuck is your phone battery on 5%, charge your damn phone" which completely stuns him because why does he know that. He clears his throat before answering. "Jason, what?"
"Everyone can see each others phone batteries on '360, now charge your phone." Is all he gets before Jason hangs up on him.

She remade her, she held her bones in her hands and put each piece back together. Only to have to carry on without her.
Everything she did, she did for Falin
~
Inspired by The Locked Tomb and Howls Moving Castle, and also how hot these two look in these outfits/forms. This will be a future print for cons this year.
