This isn't a very put-together thought, but I'm rotating in my mind the concepts of like. Seth & Raph having demon and angel imagery, that Raph specifically contributed to (idk if in-universe he's trying to give Seth devil imagery, but he did rip Seth's scarf on purpose which gives him the devil tail look so at least from a meta perspective he's doing it). And then Verity calling Seth "Devil" as an affectionate or at least neutral nickname. I don't have anything more coherent but it's something
NO YEAH THERE'S. SOMETHING. Something about being demonized and made to feel like you're never going to be good enough and you're inherently evil, and something about taking something evil and turning it into something mundane or even affectionate

like i'd tell you (harborcoat)
i've wished before and again,
among us this game
another wished against us,
left us to fall, like we were fools to the tide,
i've always known the way back home;
left these touches to disaster to the past
they'd rather remember me than know.
let lists go with the wind
it blows among us with such force,
how do you not lose yourself in it?
i never knew how powerful these things
i knew were,
let me go.
i'd love to tell you what i know
we'd peer into sights unseen
and movements that dont make any sense,
aloft like we were merely segments
of a much larger whole,
i'd love to see it.
let lists blow in the wind
they are endless and gone,
let these winds blow
like mere cartography among a specific precision,
like i'd know.
i can go further than this.
and with a whim im gone again
let these demons delve,
i'll speak alone.
never to see this again like it were transient,
a memento mori left for us to remember
entire lives,
i'd love to see em again
leave it among us at the ford like we were the whispers;
on the wind speaking the tongues aloft
"i'll die seeing it's importance"
a familial curse bent forward like a compass.
'no way will it encompass us'
'i know just where we are…'
i left these feathers among the whispered long
ive seen it come and go like the everment of the ocean,
like the very spokes these worlds spin upon
i've seen em and they aren't quite the marvel,
like we spoke
they are not what you think,
it is a space meant for you to fill it in-as-you-go
'let it speak through you'
i'd rather understand these unfathomable silences
in between us like fires spent being thrown against the horizon every day and ignites the fucking Sun.
let it go.
maybe you just weren't meant to know.
(12-30-23—Hello again. I am rethinking my entire existence, but don't worry about me. We got this!
ive risen along these pieces of twelve
like we saw the whole treasure peaked
among us, we'll let go of it to be sure
that we can't be touched,
how far did we go, anyway?
i'll never be able to know.)

literally so embarrassing to have someone go "i don't go here" or "what's this from?" on my art and it's a rarepair/crackship that is in no way representative of the source material... and i have to be like. well you see, the rest of the restaurant's menu is not like this. i'm doing my own thing eating black olives right out of the can in the back-of-house. whether or not you want me to throw you a can, you have to understand that's not what they serve out front

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.
Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

My brother-in-law has a Thing where he gives me increasingly rare copies of The Bee Movie and it’s long since gone from “Goofy running gag” to “I don’t know how much money he’s willing to commit to this bit and it Scares Me.”
Where the fuck can we go from here

CDC finally fuckin' recommended the new COVID boosters for everyone in the US. letting my american followers who don't check the news know because i've been turned away for wanting to get an extra booster & now won't be anymore & it's Lovely. most americans are not going to get these and are going to grumble about them, which sucks as far as spread goes - but DOES mean u can schedule with ur local pharmacy sooner rather than later. please do so. ur immunocompromised friends and ur own body will thank u.
