#i just want that rush back. how it felt when i realized he wasn't gonna hurt me n he held me to his chest n stroked my back#just tryin to calm me down instead of demanding anythin#he called me pretty. maybe it's just cause he was fucking me but still. he hasn't said that in so damn long except when he hurts me#i......guess i can kinda see why i said i loved him. i was so high on all of it.#even though it was stupid as fuck n idk if it's even true but either way i shouldn't have said it.#i wanna point fingers n say he just lovebombed me so hard i wasn't thinkin straight but. i don't think he even did#i can usually spot it when he does cause he's sayin things that are so obviously fake. even if i usually just ignore that cause i like it#this was just. the kinda affection that'd be normal from someone who actually cares for you. which is why it's so treacherous.#cause now it's all i can fucking think about i need more i need him to kiss me like that i need him to look at me like that again#i set the trap myself n strolled right in#i just. i need that rush back. i was so happy for a brief moment there. happier than i've ever been i think#it didn't last long but maybe that's cause i panicked when i said what i said. maybe if i just stop pretendin stop tryin to fight it#sometimes i feel the opposite but rn it's really hard to convince myself it's not enough that he wants me back#he doesn't hurt me when i behave but. i've never been very good at that for very long#n he'll probably get tired of me soon too. he's just lonely n nostalgic about the way things were back home.#......still though. how do i stop wanting it. wanting him. how the fuck do i stop#spdrvent

Excerpt-- the“Breakup”
Surrounding context: (This is earlier in the story than I’ve been writing, though I’ve referenced it.)
Before this, Terran was assigned to kill Jesse Sutton, a PI that he discovered Raymond knew. Raymond was unable to convince him to back off the kill, because Terran was worried about Zachary discovering his true allegiance, already feeling like this was a test. Raymond gave Jesse a heads up, which caught Terran off-guard enough that Jesse was able to convince Terran to let him go. Terran’s still trying to figure out a cover story to give Zachary when Raymond shows up. He’s in a cafe, grabbing a coffee and looking over Jesse’s investigation.
Under the cut
I’d been on edge since I’d left Jesse’s, sure that someone was checking in on me. Jasmine, or someone else sent by Zacahry or Abigail or anyone else. Just because I hadn’t seen anyone I recognized didn’t mean someone was. 
So when my peripheral caught someone walking toward me, I was on edge. I didn't react, only slowly and as natural-looking as I could re-sorted the papers—to-be-destroyed on the bottom, to show Zachary in the middle, and notes on Jodi on top. Could be someone passing by, could be someone sneaking a glance, had to be safe. 
When the person slid into the seat across from me, I figured it must be Jasmine—very much her style to come up to me and sit down. But when I flicked my eyes up, it was someone else entirely—Raymond.
Of freaking course. It was good for me—I could relax about what I had in front of me—but just because he had approached me didn’t mean someone else wasn’t following me. To give Raymond some credit, he was disguised— he had a hat on with the brim low, covering much of his face and hair, a dark red scarf covering part of his face, and the glasses he usually wore were off, which did change his face considerably. 
Still, this was a public place. “We can’t be seen together,” I said, my eyes staying on the yellow note paper in front of me. 
“What did you do?” he asked. He spoke quietly, but I caught an edge of desperation there. I looked up. He was leaning forward, eager, nervous. Scared—he was scared I’d done it. He’d told Jesse to talk to me, but he was afraid it hadn’t worked. 
It felt too dangerous to say it aloud, especially here. I looked up, looked around. “Can we talk in private?”
“Did you?” he asked again.
He needed an answer. I gave the smallest shake of my head—unsure, suddenly, if the question was “did you kill him” or “did you let him go,” so I wasn’t sure if I was answering him—and said, “I can’t talk about this here.”
“Is there really a place no one will be listening?” he asked, but as set as his face was, he sighed. He held out a hand. “Ultimate privacy,” he said.
I stared at his hand. He’d implanted a thought before, yes, but that was different from showing him mine. But why was I being so cautious? It was Raymond. He knew the secrets. 
But I didn’t want to let him in completely. I didn’t want him to witness that scene from my perspective, in all my hesitation—what would he think of it?
“Or somewhere else, whatever,” Raymond said, starting to stand. “If there’s a place that’s safe—”
I reached over and took his hand. He looked at me, surprised, and then it closed around mine, giving me a squeeze. I watched him, nervous, waiting. 
Go ahead, what happened?
He could have just looked himself, pulled the memory to the front of my mind and watched it. Asking the question did that anyway, but he was waiting for my answer. 
I let him go. He left town, I’m going to find him but figure out how to fake his death then.
Raymond nodded, but he didn’t look less tense. He didn’t withdraw his hand yet, so while we had privacy, I added, It was risky for you to tell him I was coming. 
I wasn’t even sure if he’d hear it— I don't know how Nyp magic works, not really, and haven’t let any in other than him. But he must’ve, because he glared and dropped my hand. My wrist landed with a thud on the table and I stared at him, watching his eyebrows furrow in. 
Was he upset with me? I was so used to the opposite— me scolding him to stay hidden, him assuring me he was being careful. I was used to Mika’s anger, but on him it felt so foreign. Mika’s never bothered me, but Raymond being upset with me?
Had he really needed scolding there anyway? I stared at the papers in front of me, not to look at them but just to look anywhere else. After a moment of him glowering at the saltshaker, I said, aloud, “It’s a good thing you did, though,” I admitted, and then that got him to at least look at me. 
“Because you were going to do it,” he said, an edge in his voice. 
I didn’t want to have this conversation, here, aloud, but sometimes a response builds up and comes out anyway. “We talked about this. Last night, I thought you understood—I had to.”
“But you didn’t,” he said, stubbornly.
“I found an alternative, one that probably won’t work,” I snapped, realizing in a sudden rush just how shaky this plan was. I’d had to sound confident with Jesse, even faked myself out, but this was so unpredictable. So many ways for it to go wrong, for us to get caught. I hadn’t even told the first lie yet. “We have to be more careful than ever—”
Raymond leaned forward, setting his hands on the table. His voice was hushed, but sharp.“You almost killed a friend of mine.”
I tried to stay calm. “I’m in a difficult—”
“I know,” he interrupted, in his normal volume. “And you’re very good at it. But if I hadn’t convinced Jesse that you were capable of being a decent person, you would’ve—done it, and you know what? That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Keep your voice down,” I scolded, automatically. 
He narrowed his eyes and I realized I probably shouldn’t be telling him what to do in that moment— even if he did need to be quiet. But he lowered his voice and chose his words carefully. “You almost did, and you intended to, because you were at risk. So I have to ask myself, if you’re willing to kill a friend of mine to keep your cover, can I really trust you?” His eyes dropped, staring hard at the table. “And maybe I shouldn’t.”
A vision flashed of him leaving, of him leaving and never getting to see him again. “Raymond—” I started to say, but there were people around, and I couldn’t say everything I wanted to, and he wasn’t going to reach over and let us talk through my head. 
How could I say, in that moment, how much I needed him? With the exception of this moment, I was safe around him. I was a better person around him, we both knew that. And maybe freeing him, and keeping the cover and helping his friends, maybe it was hard, but he was worth it. And maybe that was why he was upset anyway, but I couldn’t lose him because he was the reason I was taking the risk with Jesse. 
Raymond shook his head and stood up without looking at me, walking to the door.
I wasn’t going to let him leave— he left and I may never see him again. I pulled the papers together and clutched the file, hurrying after him. I caught his arm, searching for something to say, some way to apologize, but before I could find anything he twisted his arm around to hold mine. “Stop. Don’t follow me,” he said, then pulled away, running away.
It should’ve been easy to follow him, to at least know what direction he was going, but as soon as he turned away, it was like my mind forgot who he’d been, and I stared at the people fast-walking every which way and had no idea who I was looking for.
I took a deep breath. I’d lost him, and that feeling was bubbling up in me. I’d always known he’d come back, warned him against it, but taken comfort in knowing that he would, or at least that I could contact him but the contact card were gone— not that he’d respond anyway— and in all our time together, all our arguments and I’m sure, plenty of reasons to infuriate him, he’d never been mad at me before. Not like this.
His words echoed in my head. Could he really trust me, I would have done it… and it would have been so easy. Sure, once Jesse’d shown up it had gotten complicated, but that wasn’t Raymond’s point—my conflict had never been what Raymond wanted it to be. Maybe he was right. Maybe he deserved better than me, would be better off without me involved.
--
(So to answer Sleepy’s question, Raymond’s thoughts here are basically what he said about not being sure he can trust him. Raymond has been defending and forgiving Terran, and something he doesn’t say here is that when he told Jesse to try to talk Terran down, he knew it might not work and that he might be sending his friend to his death. That made Raymond realize that he was forgiving Terran way too much and he felt he needed to draw this line. Raymond’s not sure if he even should like Terran as much as he does, and certainly feels he’s cutting him too much slack, especially when Terran keeps telling him what to do.)
I call this the breakup because even though they’re not together rn I do think of this moment as kinda them breaking up and have referred to it as “When they broke up but not really”
Taglist: @sleepy-night-child @drippingmoon @puzzleddragon02 (you’ve read this scene already though) annnnnnnnd I’m going to superimpose @l-resonant-l to my taglist because I want you to read my stuff

*Spoilery review* 3/5
The lack of diversity in this book (all Sarah J Maas books) is becoming clearer and clearer in every book… I feel like I am starting to dislike Sarah J Maas even though I really enjoy her books - the lack of diversity/representation is killing me. The more we get through her books the clearer it becomes that she isn't going to insert representation (of any kind). From the wide range of characters with different personalities and ethnicities, it is so disappointing. Even A Court Of Silver Flames and House of Earth and blood (Crescent City #1) which are her most recent books. With all the comments and criticism she is getting I thought she would at least add a bit more representation BUT NO. Like usual Sarah J Maas style, she adds one gay character and one black character in Crescent City, and those were just side characters that will probably get killed off in the coming books. This hurts and is super problematic.
I wouldn't be bothered as much as I am rn if I wasn't black or part of the lgbtqia+ community. I would honestly love to see myself represented in Maas's books because she is such an amazing storyteller and knowing that someone you look up to so much actually supports the same things you do or will accept you in real life is the best feeling ever. Every page I turned in this book was a constant reminder of what Sarah believes in and it honestly hurt. A lot. I don't understand what would be so bad with adding a few characters that aren't just WHITE FEMALES with specific taste (white males with no flaws that are probably toxic) into a book that EVERYONE is going to be reading and not kill them off or be that side character that no one likes.
Aelin / Celaena
I loved Celaena and thought she was a super cool badass character in the first two books. But of course, the third book changed everything. I understood that Celaena had to change in order for the plot to work more but Aelin can't just forget about who she was, who she STILL is. I know it's supposed to be a kind of character growth when she's pushing Celaena away but GURL. You've been Celaena for more than 14 years, are you going to just push that out of the way? That sounds more like self-denial to me.. Talking about what's annoying is Aelin's ability to lie so easily every FREAKING MINUTE she is breathing. If she loves and cares about Rowan, Chaol, Aedion, and everyone else then why doesn't she just tell the truth. I get that Sarah uses this as a way to add suspense to the story but it's honestly too annoying, cuz in a way she is lying to us too. Why would I follow a character that is lying to my face and is so untrustworthy? That can be cool sometimes...when the character doesn’t do this EVERY SECOND. And then Aelin gets so offended when people lie to her, like when Elena lied about the fact that the King was still alive... I am now convinced that "Aelin'' might not even be her real name. Or maybe she's not really the Queen of Terrasen. Something else that was annoying was the relationship between Rowan and Aelin.
Rowan & Aelin
DON'T I JUST *HATE* IT WHEN EVERY MALE-FEMALE RELATIONSHIP BECOMES A ROMANCE? Like they were perfectly fine off as friends! Why did Sarah have to ruin this and start a romance!? This wouldn't be annoying if she didn't do this with every MALE. Like with Dorian, Chaol, and now Rowan. And don't even get me started on the toxic masculinity. Reading this from Rowan's point of view actually did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. IT'S MADE HIM TOO ANNOYING FOR ME TO BEAR.
Honestly, their relationship was like me watching Twilight all over again...
After all that negativity, I think we need some good things (thinking of that is very hard right now).
Well... I did enjoy reading about Dorian and Manon. Actually, they were the best part of this book. I enjoyed learning more about the witch clan/world in this book and Asterin. I honestly found more comfort and Manon and Dorian than I did in any of the other characters. So consider Aelin Galathynius off my list of favorite characters.
Overall
I still enjoyed this book, specifically the Manon, Dorian, and Lysandra chapters and I will be continuing the series because I really enjoyed the first three books + I already got myself the entire series (in a pack) 🤦
~Till Next Time!

Well I'm gonna do what I do best and self reflect to an insane amount. This is probably gonna be a long post so buckle up.
To be honest my behavior for nearly the past year now is concerning to say the least. There's this little voice in my head that just desperately wants to get more and more hurt, more and more traumatized. Why is that? At first glance the negative approach could be to say its some sort of masochistic behavior and any negative repercussions as a result of this behavior is deserved, but I don't really think thats the case.
Self sabotage is a characteristic that can be exhibited in many mentally ill people and I am no exception. I think this behavior, of seeking to be hurt by grown men on the internet is partially self sabotage.
And I remember when I first started this shit show, I just wanted attention. Sounds mean to say, but craving attention is something the human soul desperately wants. And I was starting to feel some sense of self beauty but I didn't feel as though anyone around me was appreciating it so I tried to get attention from grown men because being showered in compliments and attention felt so good when my whole life I've never gotten any of that.
I think there's more too it, though. Looking back my whole life it's almost as if I've wanted to get hurt. In books I liked to sit around with the pain the characters felt. And its almost like I wanted to get traumatized. I've heard that people with trauma that they don't acknowledge is trauma or think its bad enough to be traumatizing seek put worse forms of trauma, in order to feel that pain is valid. And I think that's part of my issue too.
I do have unaddressed and repressed childhood trauma. I was given unrestricted internet at a young age and was exposed to the horrors of the internet. Nothing like straight up porn, but a lot of suggestive content. And in general being exposed to that caused me a lot of catholic guilt as I was raised catholic. I remember feeling like knowing these things were my fault. Many days I felt so guilty that I would pray to god to let me not wake up in the morning.
As a child I also questioned my religion a lot, which i think was traumatic in itself. Religion is a big thing. And as a kid I had a big issue knowing reality from fiction. Heck I still do. I remember as a kid my friend telling me that we were all demigods and one day we were going to run away to camp half blood. That the percy jackson books were real. It sounds stupid now, but I processed that as real and it was so stressful for me.
And I remember being 12 coming out as trans and as a part of the lgbtq community to my parents. They didnt react well. They said I was confused. My mom said I was both too young and too old to know. I fought a lot with my mom. And in general have a lot of unhappy memories from then. I was outed multiple times in my life.
My relationship with my parents still isnt good. My mom has a tendency to be toxic. I hate that I have to stay in the closet around my family its so painful. Like a month ago I mentioned the lgbtq community for the first time in years, asking my mom her opinions on it and if it changed since 2017, and it turned into her yelling at me and making herself a victim. It really hurt. I forgot how much it hurt.
I don't really have much of a relationship with my dad. We barely talk. Hes very emotionally distant. When I'm at my dad's house I sort of fend for myself. Its the exact opposite at my moms house. She's overbearing and never leaves you alone. It's like going between to extremes.
And honestly I can't wait to move out. My mom and I have arguments a lot. But hey at least I have some relationship with her, I don't really have a relationship with my dad.
I remember one time this year, I was during the end of a school semester. I needed to catch up on work because after talking to my abuser for like 5 months and then unlocking him I was left in shambles and fell into a really bad depression to where my motivation for school just disapeared. Im still dealing with that tbh. Anyways I had to go to a online meeting to choose my classes and I didn't get to choose the classes I thought I would be able to, and that made me really upset. But after the meeting I had to go to do am act of kindness (I chose picking up litter at a graveyard cause i like graveyards) for my school project but I was still distraught. If I was given some time to myself I probably wouldve been able to go without issue, but my mom wanted to go immediately. We argued. And when I got there I refused to leave the car because I felt so much like shit. We argued more. It was the worst argument I ever had. She even swore at me. Which she's never done before. And she ended up playing victim again. She does that a lot I guess. And doesn't really listen to my feelings. Whenever I try to communicate about my feelings with her it turns into an argument and she makes it about herself. So yeah our relationship isn't the greatest. And I think having mommy and daddy issues is a trauma in itself. Ppl deserve to have happy healthy supportive families.
Oh right and another trauma I completely forgot (funny how that happens) is when I was 14 and admitted to a mental hospital because I tried to off myself. It was so surreal and they forced me to learn how to make eye contact with people cause apparently thats "how they know im doing ok". Which is kinda fucked considering the fact I recently realized I might be autistic. And eye contact is literally so painful for me. It especially was back then. Anyways the place itself wasnt too bad but the feeling of being trapped overall sucks and being disconnected from the rest of the world isnt fun either. Also I dissociate all the time but I especially dissociated hard thru the whole experience. And sort of made myself into the perfect patient, repeating all their bs and literally lying to myself to convince myself that I was ok so they would let me go. So that was kind of weird.
Anyways I know I have it better than others. And honestly sometimes it's hard to tell what exactly was traumatic in my childhood. I probably forgot and repressed other parts of it too and am forgetting things. But needless to say these unaddressed traumas didn't help my mental state. And i do think that's a big part of the voice in my head begging me to just get hurt more.
Overall my mental state is fucked, It's been really hard for me not to be taken advantage of by another internet pedo. Heck the only reason that isn't happening rn is because no ones dmed me yet. Also I unblocked my old abuser and we are talking again now so thats fun. It definitely doesnt help the cognitive dissonance in my brain of him being actually a nice and supportive dude. I think thats also a part of me wanting to get more traumatized. Since my abuser is a nice person that should counteract all the fucked up sexual things he said to me in the past right? I mean others have it worse, had worse abusers that were actively cruel. That's part of the bitch in my subconscious brain talking. It sucks tbh.
Anyways yeah I probably need therapy but I don't feel comfortable talking about this to my current counselor and honestly its really hard to say out loud. I can talk forever about it by writing it down but the moment I speak words from my dumbass mouth I break down in tears and can't do it. Plus idk, I'm scared if I say anything she'll have to tell my parents and that my phone might be taken away or I'll have less privacy and for a closeted queer where my only current life line is the internet and my online friends: that is a terrifying idea. Idk. I'm fucked basically.

Okay so I’m personally offended with myself for not having found you earlier? Like, YOURE AMAZING! Your writing is super awesome and I’m glad I finally did find you. Anyways, I was hoping I could request a 🔥 ship/HCs? For BBC Merlin, PJO/HOO, and ATLA (or LOK, whichever you’d prefer or is easier for you). I am bisexual so I’m down to be shipped with whatever gender (although I am kinda leaning towards men rn). I’m a Ravenclaw and my Myers-Brigg personality type is INFP-T. I’m kind of a nerd and I love learning new things. I tried to learn Latin at one point but it was while I was in school and I didn’t finish before the school year was up. I love reading, writing, singing, listening to music, watching movies and watching musicals. I also really love physical affection (both giving and receiving). I love any and all animals SO MUCH. I can be kinda silly sometimes but I know when to get serious. I love having fun with my friends but I also just love the days that I can just sit with them and relax. I’m pretty protective of the people I’m close to. I’m also kind of stubborn. I have a small obsession with dragons and kind of just mythical beings in general. I feel happy when I make others happy. I like helping people when I can. My main love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. If I were a bender in the ATLA/LOK universe, I would be an earth bender. I’m also a sucker for soulmate AUs, which you might have noticed when I was reblogging your stuff earlier. I think that’s all?? If you need anything else, just let me know! And thank you so much!!
PS: CONGRATS ON 2.5k
thank you for your kind words about my blog! i’m glad you like it here, lol. and, as always, disclaimer that it’s been a while since i’ve read pjo and so the headcanons might not be the best. bear with me.
Merlin:
I ship you with Gwen!
alright, i was debating between gwen and sir leon, but i 100% believe gwen is the perfect match-up for you - both of you are sweet and kind yet clever with the potential to be teasing, annoying idiots.
the two of you would get along famously, and you would be the sweetest, most supportive couple - literally everyone wants what you have, and i can’t blame them.
both of you are caring and love your friends dearly, you are the ultimate mom friends. you love to make everyone happy, and so both of you are always looking out for the other. 
furthermore, gwen would love to hear all about interests - she loves to hear you talk about your reading and writing, and she loves how you learn with such a fervor. learning something new is a great way to increase the quality of your life, and gwen loves to hear about what you’ve discovered - so much of her day is spent in routine, being a servant and all, so when you can tell her something good - something other than castle gossip, she loves it.
also, i have this headcanon that gwen can sing really well, so you know she loves music. she’ll sing in the early mornings, when the two of you are getting up before the sun itself, and it never fails to make you smile.
i think that both you and gwen have great versatility to your personality - you both can get very excited and giddy but then come back down to earth and be stable and strong. this is good because both of you can support the other in whatever situation you may be up against. 
furthermore, you are both witty and teasing. the two of you have a lot of ongoing banter that makes your otherwise monotonous days exciting and fun. you’re upbeat personalities bring joy to your lives, and that’s important.
also, the two of you would be very affectionate toward each other - gwen has no qualms with hugging you or holding your hand, so she is able to accept your affection and return it in a similar manner. and gwen is very good at giving sincere compliments! whenever she praises you, you can’t help but think it’s true.
also, modern! au gwen is an avid movie watcher, so the two of you have marathons together. gwen always brings the popcorn.
PJO/HOO:
I ship you with Travis Stoll!
okay, you cannot tell me that this pairing isn’t chaotic as hell.
you are the smarts to travis’ mischievousness, and the two of you bring a lot of fun to camp half-blood. you help travis and connor with their pranks, but you are also there to make sure that no one gets hurt, because a good prank is one that makes people laugh, but has minimal casualties. (ngl, chb is kind of glad that you and travis got together because the pranks are a lot safer now.)
i definitely think that travis would be the one to bring you out of your comfort zone, but he does it so earnestly, with only the best of intentions, so it’s hard to say no. the two of you go on adventures together and you have a lot of laughs.
the good thing is that you also bring a lot of calm and stability to the relationship - you are one of like two (2) people who can  get travis to just,,, chill with you. he likes to play videogames with you, so you hang out a lot in the hermes cabin, legs tangled together as you chill out. 
at your core, i think both of you are very determined people, and that’s what initially drew the two of you close together. you both have a fire in your hearts, and while that comes out in different ways, you’re both very ambitious and goal oriented people.
and you know that travis has the greatest taste in music - you are going to be introduced to some very interesting and cool songs. maybe he’ll nick a cd or two for both of you to listen to. and what’s cool about his music taste is that it’s adventurous and all over - he loves everything and so do you.
you both explore and learn about the world in different ways, and you are both incredibly knowledgeable in opposite ways, so when you put your heads together, the genius that comes forth is insane.
i imagine that the two of you hang out in the strawberry fields a lot. you listen to music or talk while walking through the fields, and then travis ends up stealing some of your strawberries and you end up chasing after him (damn his tall legs)
LOK:
I ship you with Mako!
this is the complete opposite of your previous ships, but stick with me for a minute
you are perfect for mako because you can be serious and stable, but at the same time, you can bring out his silly side. mako needs someone who can get down to the core of his being and pull out that happy, childish side of himself that he hasn’t found in a long time. he’s had to grow up fast, and he needs someone who is serious and sincere, but is also lighthearted and oh-so caring.
the two of you are so protective and caring about the ones you love - you’re like the parents of the group who are trying to wrangle your unruly children, and it’s a dynamic i am here for.
and when you encourage some of korra or asami’s wild plans, mako sighs, like “disappointed by not surprised.” but then you bring him to the side with a plan on how to make their optimistic plans more secure, and he’s like,,,, alright.
also, the banter the two of you would have is legendary. mako is known as the #done, sarcastic one, and he was not expecting you to come out with amazing wit, but here you are. the two of you have the best side commentary, and it’s almost a competition now. you’ve yet to get mako to laugh at your well-timed jokes (some of which are terribly corny), but he does crack a wry smile almost every time, so you know it’s only a matter of time.
also, convince me otherwise, but mako is a reader. he likes a lot of historical fiction, but also stories based off of legends, and the two of you will often spend your weekends inside, reading on the couch. he’ll make you lunch and then the two of you will talk about what you’ve read, sitting cross legged with your knees touching. mako is usually a little vague with the details on what he is reading, but what often happens is that he’ll have recommended the book you’re reading, so he’ll listen to you ramble about your favorite parts with a lovestruck smile on his face.
you definitely introduce mako to more music - he’s never been super into music, it was always more bolin’s thing, but he’ll listen with you. he has a few favorites, and you have to coax him into telling you what they are, but he’ll tell you anyway because he’s very much in love.
also! the two of you go to see bolin’s movers, and you whisper to each other throughout the show, making jokes and funny comments, and ngl, bolin gets a little concerned. mako should never enjoy himself so thoroughly, that only ever leads to disaster.
anyway, you would be great for mako because when you two hang out, you bring mako out of his shell, and he is always there to support and protect you, should anything go awry. 
i get big vibes of “the serious one is soft for the fluffy one” except both of you are the serious one and the fluffy one, depending on the moment, and you wildly fluctuate between the two.

Somersault (a fic following the events of 3x13)
Disclaimer: I’ve tried to make this as realistic as possible but I can’t really write narrative so here goes; also this is the first fanfic I’ve written djkfhsk
Word count: 2733
Chapter One - Apologise
Seven missed calls from TJ. My notifications show two messages from him:
“Cy, please pick up.”
“It’s not what you think, I swear!”
“He’s texting me again. What do I do?” I ask Buffy and Andi as I shuffle around some baby taters.
“Don’t text him back,” replies Andi.
“Yeah, he needs to feel how you feel,” Buffy adds on.
“But he said, ‘it’s not what you think’! What does he mean?”
Sure, I am undeniably upset that TJ bailed on me for some girl he’d known for, like, two minutes, but I still want to hear his explanation. It might put some things in perspective.
“Does it matter, what happened? He bailed on you. You counted on him and he did a costume with Kira,” started Andi.
“Who he met five seconds ago,” continued Buffy.
“And with the whole gun thing…” Andi trailed off.
“We’ve moved past that,” I said, “Something’s wrong, I can tell.”
“If you’re so sure, then confront him,” Buffy paused for a brief moment, “but we don’t think you should,”
“Yeah, Cyrus, we don’t want you to get hurt again. We don’t want TJ to become a ‘Jonah: Part Two’” Andi continued.
“What? That’s not how it is at all!” I probably wasn’t being very convincing. I really like TJ, and I wish I knew what was going on inside his head when he ditched our amazing costume- which he thought of- for a less-than-minimal effort basketball costume with She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.
Buffy’s phone rang. “I have to go. My mom is calling me home for dinner,”
“I should go, too. I’m meeting Amber. Apparently, I still need some more ‘rage relief’” said Andi.
I let out a fake chuckle as they leave The Spoon and unlock my phone. My thumbs hover over the keyboard on my chat with TJ. I have no idea what to say. Realising he’s online, I say the first thing that comes to my head. “What is it, then?” I type, instantly regretting how passive-aggressive that sounds. But almost immediately he replies, “It’s hard to explain over text. Meet me by the swings in ten?”
I say “Okay” and leave some cash on the table before leaving the diner.
By the time I reach the park TJ is already sitting on the swings, not swinging. He probably heard my footsteps because he suddenly looked my way.
“I’m sorry,” he starts, before I can even open my mouth, “I wasn’t thinking, and I shouldn’t have gone with Kira. Especially without telling you first.”
“So why did you do it?” I asked, still confused, “it was your idea to do the costume together in the first place!”
TJ sighed before asking, “Do you hate me?”
His eyes were filled with worry and he looked at me, hoping for a response. I look away. I start to turn on my heel to walk away. That was some explanation, I thought.
“Before you walk away, please, just give me a chance to explain,” I turn back to face TJ.
“Isn’t that why you called me here?” I replied, curter than I wanted, but it seemed to do the trick.
TJ sighs and stands up, “Kira came by after you left and asked me to do a costume with her,”
“I already know how this goes, TJ, I don’t need to hear it from you after having lived it last week,”
“Cyrus, please. Hear me out,”
I shrug and sit down on the swing next to his.
“Kira came by after you left and asked me if I wanted to do this ‘really cool’ costume with her. I told her that I was already doing one with you, but she wouldn’t let up. Then she asked me if I would rather do a costume with her or with you and—”
“And you picked her,”
“No, that’s not it! She said, ‘have fun with that’, and started walking away. I wanted to know what she meant, so I caught up to her,” TJ paused and took a deep breath before saying, “She has something on me. Something I thought I was fine with, but apparently, I’m not. And she told me she would tell people if I didn’t do the costume with her.”
I could feel my eyes involuntarily widen, “TJ, you know you can tell me anything. I’m—”
He turns away from me and looks straight ahead, “Honestly, of all people, I’m the most scared about telling you,” he started shaking. He fiddles with his fingers for a while before sitting back down beside me. He stares at the grass below his feet.
I could hear my heart beating out of my chest. Was he? There was no way. The biggest jock in the school could never be- it just doesn’t make sense.
“TJ?”
TJ looked up from the ground and into my eyes. As if it was even possible, my heart raced even faster. Was I really about to tell him? I wonder if TJ can tell how nervous I am. Not right now, I thought.
“Why didn’t you call?”
“I swear, I was going to, but I didn’t know what to say. I don’t know how to tell you what happened,”
“Well, I have something to tell you, too,”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,” I need to take a minute before I continue, “but you’re the one person I don’t know how to say it to, either,”
“I guess we both have stuff,” TJ shrugs, before looking back at the ground.
“I guess we do,” I reply, trying to deconstruct TJ’s countenance.
We swing in complete silence until TJ’s phone beeps.
“I have to go,” says TJ as he gets off the swing.
“Was that Kira?” I ask.
He began to say something, but I cut him off, “I get it.”
I start to walk away, but as I do so, he is all I can think of. I turn back to see TJ walking in the opposite direction, before carrying on with my journey home.
Chapter Two – Me Too
When I get home, I open the GHC group chat and begin to type:
Me: Don’t be mad, but I talked to TJ.
Andi: And?
Cyrus: He said Kira made him do the costume but idk anymore.
Buffy: He didn’t say why? I should’ve known Kira was behind this.
Cyrus: He said she has something on him, but he wouldn’t tell me what it was.
Buffy: TJ Kippen isn’t telling the truth? Shocking.
Andi: He still could have called.
Cyrus: He said he didn’t know what to say and he seemed genuine.
Buffy: Like when he used to say that I was right, just to get his way?
Andi: Have you spoken to him since then?
Cyrus: He keeps texting me saying he wants to explain but he never seems to have the words.
Cyrus: And sometimes, neither do I.
Buffy: What do you mean?
Cyrus: I almost told him. I almost said it. Luckily, I didn’t, or that would have been a big mistake.
Andi: You weren’t ready. It’s okay. He needs to sort himself out first, anyway. I don’t want you putting yourself in harm’s way.
Cyrus: I’m not, I promise.
Cyrus: I should go, it’s dinner time.
***
After dinner I check my phone. Ten messages from TJ:
TJ: are you still mad at me?
TJ: I understand if you are
TJ: I’d be mad at me too
TJ: but please talk to me
TJ: I just want to know if you’re okay
TJ: I know I haven’t been a good friend lately
TJ: I really want to tell you
TJ: I just don’t know how to say it
TJ: cyrus please say something
I hold my breath as I open the chat.
Me: I don’t know what I feel rn.
TJ: cyrus I want to talk to you
TJ: in person
Me: Idk, I’ve been kind of busy lately.
TJ: tell me when you’re free
Me: Ok.
***
The next day, Andi, Buffy and I walk side by side down the corridor of Jefferson Middle School. We part ways to get to our lockers. I see TJ standing by mine and stop in my tracks. I take a deep breath before continuing, not making any eye contact with him.
“I have something to tell you,” said TJ.
“If it’s about Kira again, I don’t want to hear it,” I open my locker and take out my books.
“It’s not. It’s about me,”
I shut my locker and stare at TJ.
“Kira found out—”
Really? I thought, “I should have known! Kira, Kira, Kira. You’ve barely known her a week and she’s all you can talk about! What does sh—”
“Cyrus, Kira found out that I like boys!” TJ shouts.
I don’t know what to say. TJ Kippen. Gay. Like me.
“You…” “Yeah,”
“You mean you’re—”
“Yes, I am.”
“TJ,” I began.
“I have to go,” TJ hurriedly walked away, panting and shaking. I watched as he did, dumbfounded.
I could barely concentrate the rest of the day. Andi and Buffy were constantly trying to bring me back down to Earth. I still don’t know how I feel about this. Happy? Relieved? For one, I was worried for TJ. God, I can’t believe Kira is that awful of a human being. At least I understand why he did what he did to me.
During lunch, I sat with Buffy and Andi, per usual.
“Did you see TJ today?” questioned Andi.
“I hope not. That boy is trouble,” I try to interrupt Buffy, but she continues, “And paired with Kira? I can’t even imagine,”
Oh, if only they knew.
I look at Andi and shake my head, “no”.
“He’ll come around. He always seems to,” Andi paused, “for you,”
I think I saw a little smirk across Andi’s face, but I’m not sure. Buffy kicks Andi under the table.
“Huh?” I say.
“Nothing, don’t worry,” replies Buffy.
And just like that, there goes the lunch bell.
As we walk out of the cafeteria, I catch a glimpse of TJ sitting alone, out of the corner of my eye. He sees me, too, and walks away as fast as he can. I hope he doesn’t think I’m homophobic, because I’m the exact opposite of that! Homo…philic? I thought to myself, making myself chuckle out loud, receiving strange looks from Andi and Buffy.
***
The day goes on. I’m still befuddled by TJ. I go home by myself (making up a half-hearted excuse for not going to The Spoon with the rest of the GHC) and collapse on my bed. I take out my phone and check my messages. Nothing from TJ. I open our chat and look through the messages before typing, “Hey, can we talk?”
TJ, as usual, responds within milliseconds, “At the park?”
“You know the place.”
This time we reach the park at the same time. We walk towards each other, hesitation in every step. I wriggle my hands in my pockets. I can feel them become sweatier by the second. When we meet, neither of us break the silence. TJ turns and we start walking in the same direction.
After a minute of silence, TJ says, monotonously, “I know what you’re going to say,”
“You do?” I ask.
“You’re going to say that I’m ‘too young’ and that I don’t know what I’m doing, or that it’s ‘just a phase’. But it’s not, Cyrus and—”
I really can’t have TJ, of all people, thinking I’m homophobic, “TJ, I was going to say that I’m proud of you. Because I am,”
“You are? Kira said—”
“What Kira said doesn’t matter,” that name leaves a bitter taste on my tongue, “You’re you. And no one else can tell you who that is,”
A faint smile appears across TJ’s face, forming wrinkles at the corners of his mouth. He is so cute, I think to myself.
“But that’s not all I wanted to say,” I guess there’s no time like the present, right?
“Oh?” I notice TJ’s smile fade.
I stop walking, TJ soon realises and stops, too.
“You know how you just said—”
“Yeah, I know” he interrupts me, afraid.
I take a deep breath before saying, “I am, too.”
“You are?” TJ’s eyebrows furrow.
Well, I don’t really hide it, but yes, I thought, “Just like you,” I half-smile and look TJ in the eyes. His beautiful, green eyes.
“Do Andi and Buffy know?”
“Yes,”
“And Jonah?”
“Him, too.”
“I see,” TJ’s expression doesn’t waiver, “when did you—”
“At my bar mitzvah… and at my grandmother’s shiva,”
“Is this what you wanted to tell me at the swings the other day?” asked TJ.
“Is this what you wanted to tell me at the swings the other day?”
We look at each other, visibly anxious but smiling, and continue our walk.
Does this mean I have a chance with TJ Kippen? There’s no way.
Chapter 3 – Confess
Over the weekend, I barely hung out with Andi and Buffy. Which I should have felt bad about, but I was too busy with TJ. We were together pretty much the whole weekend. He even slept over. But the whole time I wished we were “together” in another sense. I still walked to school with the rest of the GHC on Monday, however.
“You and TJ seem to be spending a lot more time together,” Andi states.
“Yeah, I thought you guys still hadn’t worked out the Costume Day thing,”
“You talked to him?” asks Andi.
“It’s complicated,” I reply, “I can’t tell you everything,”
“Cyrus, you can tell us anything, you know that,” says Buffy.
“I know, but it’s not my story to tell. What I can tell you is that… I told TJ,”
“You did? That’s great, Cy!” Andi practically starts jumping up and down, “What did he say?”
“Not much,”
“Oh,” says Buffy, disappointed. I could tell she kind of started to like TJ.
“No! That’s not bad! He didn’t mind. Like Jonah’s reaction, or lack thereof,”
“I guess Kira didn’t poison him after all,” says Andi.
Yeah, Kira.
The bell rang and we went to our classes. Buffy and Andi had the same class and didn’t bother to keep their conversation secret as I walked away.
“Do you think Cyrus likes TJ?” asks Buffy.
Am I that obvious? Gosh.
“Buffy! He’s still in earshot!”
I’m always in earshot- they’re so loud.
“Ok, ok!”
They wait for a few seconds before continuing, “Yes, I do. Does Cyrus know, though?”
“He has to! They’re his feelings,”
“Feelings are weird,”
“I’ll ask him after school,”
“Buffy?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t be harsh.”
They started talking about Jonah or something after this.
***
After school I checked my phone.
Buffy: So… TJ?
Cyrus: What about him?
Buffy: Do you like him?
Cyrus: Yeah. He apologized and we put all that stuff behind us.
Buffy: That’s good.
Buffy: So, do you like him?
Cyrus: I just told you.
Cyrus: What are you getting at?
Buffy: Oh, nothing. Just wondering if you like him.
Cyrus: Like him like what?
Buffy: Like… how you like Jonah?
Cyrus: I think so.
Buffy: This is great!
Cyrus: Why?
She didn’t reply.
***
I hear a knock at the door and rush to open it. It’s TJ. My heart starts beating at the speed of light. Are you allowed to call yourself whipped?
I let him in, and we go downstairs, to my game room. I get out the table tennis racquets and hand one to TJ, along with the ball. He looks… anxious.
“What’s wrong?” I ask.
TJ rolls the plastic ball in his hand, “I think I like you,” his shaking hands serve me the ball, but I let it bounce off the table.
“Me?” Me?
“Is there anyone else here?” TJ asked.
“I guess not,” I respond, unable to process what was just said. I pick up the ball from the ground and serve back. As it bounces across the net, I realise that I had to say it, “I think I like you, too.”
Once again, the ball bounced off the table.
“Me?”
“Do you see anyone else in the room?”
TJ lets out a nervous laugh and I do the same.
“What does this mean?” I ask.
“I don’t know,” he sighs, “I guess we’ll have to find out.”

posts about things with absolutely no introduction but it's because i was reminded of the topic the other day
this one's for those of us in the lifelong isolation no friends society, i know sometimes there's other people out there!! anyways i've been thinking about how like, personally, obviously, b/c idk how other ppl do it b/c we aren't friends with each other lol, its just a fuckin wild thing to deal with in part cuz its one of those answers to which there's not necessarily any Right Way to handle things or Answer or Solution or anything. isolation p much = more isolation and plus not having friends makes ppl less likely to socialize with you so that's rough; anyways yknow, the point is just oops you can't Choose to like, obtain a friend. u can try to get ppl interested but you can't control it beyond that, so, yknow
anyways what am i getting to? yeah so i've never had close friends in that i was never able to share personally honest things anyways for the longest time for a couple reasons, and also, people just didn't like me. the double whammy of "oh no its abuse" and "oh no you're lowkey socially ostracized by your peers from preschool on without end" is like, good luck to little me getting friends! i had sort-of friends in like a couple ppl who'd hang out with me regularly and on occasion we'd go to each others houses or smthing but it wasnt able to be like, the normal fun event it should. oh well. middle school was a little better and a little worse but i didnt keep up w ppl cuz i went to a different school later and its that situation where you're friends-ish Because you're at the same school right...smh...didnt thrive in college magically, but one essential thing was i was away from home more often than not so, that was real important ultimately. but anyways in the end i had like a handful of college friends-ish (accepted by other friends groups lol) and theres a couple of them i still talk to now and again
so like, yknow, friends, mostly friendly acquaintances, my siblings i'd classify as friendly acquaintances, i'm very glad about all of them really. just unfortunately i've only just started to have friendships that are like a decade old and the "longtime close" friendship is nonexistent b/c college is just four years and then you go other places, and i'm not at the heart of friend groups and not "good" at communication in other ways so its hard to keep in touch in ways. smh!!
funnily enough i'm also not good at internet stuff though it's been absolutely essential, god knows. that's why i'm able to talk to anyone rn!! but i can't do group chats and i only like approaching things "one on one" aka i don't like feeling like im in the midst of a group even outside group chats. if you get what i'm saying. like even back being in the small early mh fandom of like, three dozen ppl, in retrospect i didnt like having to be in the entire Group yknow. lemme just be over here. which is what i do now.
anyways for additional reasonsl, communicating has been trickier these past few years and for the most part its been kind of a situation where i wasn't necessarily going to get to talk to someone every day, though usually it'd maybe only be like, a gap of a day or two. and anyways, the thing is that, over the past ten years especially its started to be Distressing like wanting friends, not as much having them, and also having it be more obvious that there was some kind of deficiency keeping me from having (and having had) friends like other people did. not fun! but what i'm getting around to here, whats been wild, is just this like, decade-ish (or two decade-ish if you want) Personal Effort to just figure out how the fuck to stop having to feel like shit about it all the time right? then you're lonely AND stressed and probably self loathing also
so like yeah, the thing is that the other day something was going on about like, yknow, the idea of the longtime close friend with a steadfast presence in your life, and that's just always like, lfjdglmao what!!! sounds nice. i had a friend for a week in second grade and im not sure we ever spoke and then the teacher made us sit on opposite sides of the classroom and it was too embarrassing to be friends anymore. that's kinda close but lol for real......it's not only the lack of friends to tackle but also like, i don't assume to have friends in the future. it's something that like, i would obviously theoretically want, and be happy if it happened, but i can't say i hope for it, because that implies too much being expectant or whatever. and it's weird!! its a weird time just kind of presuming friendlessness until otherwise occurs. and it's not great, i'm definitely still unhappy about all this shit. its just that i've also like, been able to shave off how distressing the issue mightve been in earlier years yknow
like it sounds all depressing to say like, i've just had to be less emotionally invested in the whole thing, but it's kind of true. not by ignoring it or ignoring the feelings so much as like...just acknowledging that this is how it is and there's only so much i can do but not hating myself about it is a start. and yeah it's like "oh, feeling less, depressing" but also frankly when i decided also that its less horrible to be friendless than to feel stuck w crap ppl / ppl who you aren't too important to / etc, i figured that i'd also rather be friendless and just enjoy being myself than try to make myself easier to talk to. i'm not like intimidating or anything, i just can't hold a conversation. but i'm not very interested anymore in trying to convince ppl to like me, yknow, i'm out here, and if i'm ever going to have friends i'd like them to be people to like me For Who I Am, wipe tear. what i'm just saying is "a weird dumbass" b/c its just vague social weirdness that ppl don't necessarily like, loathe, but probably they'd rather talk to someone else. i'm not great at socializing stuff, like i said, hence social rejection since age 4
oh and i meant to say!! i've been able to turn up my emotions by turning down my investment in the idea of Needing To Always Be Trying To Make Friends b/c, as anyone might know, all i like to do is talk at great length about whatever weird, niche shit i'm into at any given point. and that's pretty much it. i'm not pretending to be deep by not really knowing how to do small talk. lmao you guys know what i'm talking about. and obviously not everybody is into Getting Enthusiastic or super focused on whatever weird thing at any point, and i'm not Into getting my passion all fired up and being brushed off or anything, so we can all avoid each other, and i get to continue entertaining myself
so that's a way i've been able to turn my feelings up actually lol.....dunno how to segue into it so i won't but it's also just like, not saying that i Truly Don't Care about not having friends, or that it doesn't hurt that i've had this relative friendless past and the futures looking bleak, b/c it does!! it's still distressing. but like, its turned down. the whole general issue can be a very Bitter one for sure!!!! and it has been in the past sometimes and like.....it's still there basically, i've just been able to turn down the volume a lot on a bunch of these shit feelings like "that's upsetting" or "i'm bitter about that" and just kind of calmly let it simmer back down b/c i'm sort more familiarish with what sets it off and more familiar with Dealing With It Always overall
no idea if i've made the point i was setting out for there. dealing with the No Friends Isolation Life society life is not fun but we're out here, sometimes. it continues to be not fun. "oh well," is an often relevant sentiment. c'est la vie. c'est ce que c'est? i think. and i think it's nice that after years and years of just like, struggling to figure this shit out myself, and probably feeling like shit most of the time, i've at least managed to go "shh" at some Bad Feelings. definitely still there. but this time it doesn't heap extra shittiness on top b/c of having to deal with the intensity of it and feel bad about that too etc etc. it's all weird! getting more familiar with dealing with some shit which is just, the way that it is in part because of bad luck and of course i'm jealous of everybody who does have friends. but oh well. b/c c'est la vie. im also glad for everybody who has friends, obv. it's all complicated!! which is just part of why this post exists. it has no real point, i'm just kinda going like, weird, huh? and kind of good, and kind of a bummer. oh well
also im aware this is a suddenly long, technically depressing post at like circa midnight for a lot of people, but basically this is just me in normal mood. sometimes it's depressing posts time out of nowhere, but i'm not especially depressed!! nighttime is just more of my Peak Hours. night owl 4 life. thanks
oh and ps. another thing i would think about (with more distress in the past, and like, no distress now) is that its also funny cuz, one thing i’ve generally had to do is be aware that it’s a bigger deal for you (me) to get a new Friend than it is for them to be getting you as a friend, b/c math says so. and so i’ve had to push myself to not be overly hopeful or invested in order to be both fair to them and myself. and nowadays that’s just kind of how i view the no-friends-ness of it all, like. i’m not mad that i’m not for some reason way closer to anybody i know. why would i be. and i don’t expect anybody to think like “oh my god we have to be Good Friends” because like. not in a self deprecating way but like, why would any random person want that. and i dont expect to be better friends with ppl im just casual friends with, which is great, cus like Friendly Acquaintances and other lite friendships are fantastic and im very grateful. but i am aware there’s plenty of reasons making it difficult to just like, pick up a Close Buddy and i’m not like “oh i demand one from somewhere, from some reason.” so what i am trying to say is that keeping my expectations honestly realistic is an effort to be fair to both other ppl and myself and i think it works. no friends!! we out here!!!!

every trans person living their truth and being open and loud about who they are past present & future. the worlds not particularly kind to us and our existence alone is considered a radical act, so its always given me hope to see others refusing to pretend to be someone they’re not in this environment and I’ll always have mad respect for that

i read manga and webcomics...ive always wanted to get into superhero comics but the amount of issues and different versions is ridiculous and makes it inaccessible 2 me 
69. what makes you the most angry?
i mean its hard to pinpoint what makes me angry the MOST...but a contender is definitely how some people feel free to treat others with cruelty and think its their god given right to deny or attack someones existence in some way, & how acts of kindness, even the most basic are branded as liberal bullshit or whatever....it goes against everything i was taught growing up
70. do you prefer to read on an electronic device or with a real book?

98. do you prefer the forest or the beach?
ive never been to the beach but i love her!!!
99. what is your favorite piece of advice that anyone has ever given you?
probably that you have to look at your accomplishments differently when you’re disabled or just struggling, to not be so down on yourself because its a fact that what might be a mole hill to someone else is a mountain to you and you have to judge yourself accordingly. Like maybe you weren’t able to clean the whole house, but washing the dishes and tidying your desk doesn’t usually get done but you did it. That that should be celebrated because while it would also feel good if you did more, you still did something and thats great all things considered.

104. do you keep a journal/diary?
nope...ive tried but i just cant keep up with it so i do the next best thing. shouting into the void on the internet to a bunch of strangers
105. do you believe in second chances?
depends on what you did the first time. Some people just don’t deserve taking that risk imo...but i can be a little guarded so maybe thats a bit too harsh
106. if you found a wallet full of money on the ground, what would you do?
turn it in, unless there was no identifying things in it & it was found somewhere kinda random. Then I’d maybe hold onto it unless my gut challenged that
107. do you believe that people are capable of change?
absolutely. i mean thats all we do throughout our lives is change and evolve...that being said I think extremely drastic changes are maybe not entirely impossible, but extremely rare, and the residue of the former self usually sticks around in some form
108. are you ticklish?
yes, dangerously so
109. have you ever been on a plane?
nope
110. do you have any piercings?
one day hopefully!
111. what fictional character do you wish was real?

112. do you have any tattoos?

117. who is the smartest person you know?
probably my friend jojo

lesbian tag game
thx for sending me this @redcladsheikah <3 all my lesbian friends should do this too, if you want uwu i’m too lazy to tag like 50 ppl hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh @lebians @tiedyked @talaxian @lesbian-mcelroy @ireallylikecameras 
1: did you ever think you were straight?
not really, i knew i liked girls even as a child. but i did go through multiple periods of trying to convince myself i was straight, needless to say it didn’t work out lol.
2: what’s your favorite element of gay culture?
our sense of humor! it’s amazing that we’re all so funny despite putting up with so much bullshit.
3: are you femme, butch, or neither?
femme! i’ve been looking into femme history lately, bcs the idea that femme is just an aesthetic is a misconception c:
4: do you prefer to date femmes or butches?
tbh every time i declare i have a type i immediately fall for someone that’s the complete opposite of that, so i have no idea. lately i’ve been wanting a goth gf, but i just developed a crush on a prep soooo i’m terrible at self-reflection. this bitch don’t know what she want.
5: what’s the worst part about being a lesbian?
the feeling that there’s a part of you that needs to be fixed, but you can’t do anything about it. it’s like seeing a picture on the wall that’s crooked, but it’s stuck like that and you can’t ever straighten it. or having a hair out of place that keeps sticking up no matter how much you try to gel it down.
6: what’s the best part of being a lesbian?
is women too obvious of an answer? girls are angels and i’d die for all of them
7: how long were you questioning for?
pretty much never, i guess. i had crushes on girls since kindergarten, then in 2nd grade i was told girls could only like boys, so i tried my best to be straight even though in my heart i knew i wasn’t. since i couldn’t make myself like boys, i kinda just ignored the idea of liking anyone at all until middle school, when i found out what the word “lesbian” means online. of course, all the stuff i found about lesbians called us disgusting perverts, so i went through many phases of calling myself literally anything else but a lesbian. i’ve only started using the word lesbian specifically in the last few years, especially since i joined an amazing discord group. i love them so much, they’ve helped me feel so proud of being a lesbian <3
8: what’s the most annoying thing straight people do?
exist. 
jk lmao, i’m honestly not annoyed by straight people, but i like making jokes as if i am. it’s hard to annoy me in general, i’ve got a high tolerance for that type of stuff. if i have to answer, i hate it when strangers (usually straight men) pry into my sex life, but i’m not really annoyed by that as much as i am creeped out.
9: what do you look for in a girl?
vampirism is my only requirement.
10: if you had to marry someone you know right now, who would you choose?
@lebians bcs i feel they’d be the most able to put up with my bullshit. everyone else would kill me on sight. if only @ireallylikecameras was still single, then when we got married we could put together our 50% employee discounts at BK and get infinite food for free, ending world hunger. i think that’s how it works, but also im gay and therefore bad at math.
11: do you have a crush right now?
does being in love count as a crush? if so, then i have three.
12: do you fall in love easily?
i crush easily, and i say i’m in love easily bcs i’m a leo (meaning i need to exaggerate to live), but actually feeling love? only once.
13: is there anyone in your life right now you think you’ll date in the future?
fingers crossed.
14: is there anyone you want to be kissing right now?
at the moment i’m feeling very touch repulsed, so no. but i also go through periods of feeling touch starved, and during those times i’d kiss pretty much anyone lmao.
15: do you think you’ve met your future wife yet?
i don’t know if i want to be married. i hate making commitments.
16: top, bottom, or vers?
i suspect i’m a bottom, but i’m also a virgin with no self awareness about what she wants or likes, so who really knows.
17: is there anyone you wish you could fuck right now?
still feeling touch repulsed, so no. also i have issues with actual real life sex. i always think i want to have sex, but when the situation becomes real, i feel disgusted by it and chicken out. i have no idea if this is some sort of asexuality or internalized lesbophobia. i should probably go to therapy lol.
18: rough or gentle?
rough, in theory. like i said, virgin who doesn’t know what she likes. but as a general rule, i don’t like slowness.
19: how many stereotypes do you fit into?
i’m fat, hairy, make lots of jokes about hating men (at least online, not in real life bcs i dont wanna get stabbed), i sometimes look like a guy,
20: what version of the lesbian flag do you like most? (butch, lipstick, original, etc.)
i like the femme one! i have it as my banner, it’s the lipstick lesbian flag without the lip print. the original flag was so fucking good, too bad it got taken by the terfs. the labrys is such a powerful image, and purple is a good color. also i saw a moon lesbian flag going around, that one is so good.
21: do you have a good gaydar?
hhhh i’d like to pretend i do but tbh i’m not very observant and straight up bad at reading people.
22: be honest, would you rather be straight?
yes and no. i’d rather have been born straight, because it would’ve saved me so much pain, but it’s a few years too late for that lol. if there was a magic pill that could make me straight today, i wouldn’t take it. i’ve been through so much as a lesbian, it means something to me now and i wouldn’t trade that for anything.
23: are you cis?
yep.
24: are you a sugar mommy or a sugar baby at heart?
hardcore sugar baby. my dream job is being an older woman’s trophy wife.
25: are you committed to someone at all right now emotionally?
hhhhhhhhhh unfortunately. i don’t want to be.
26: are you looking for a serious relationship currently?
yes, but i shouldn’t be. i don’t think i’m ready to be in one.
27: is there someone you’d like to be in a serious relationship in?
yes, but she’s straight and already married lmao. whoops.
28: do you want children?
no, i’m too selfish and irresponsible.
29: is your family accepting of your sexuality?
my mom and dad are, though they don’t take it very seriously. pretty sure they expect me to grow out of it one day. can’t blame them tho, i’m waiting for the same thing lmao. my extended family is huge, and their opinions range from being extremely homophobic to being gay themselves, but i’m interacting with them less and less as i get older.
30: how confident are you in your sexuality?
very confident, though i don’t want to be. i’m still secretly hoping one day i’ll see a guy i’m attracted to and he’ll fix me, but being realistic, i’m a huge fucking lesbian. women are enchanting.
31: are you polyamorous or monogamous?
monogamous. my insecure ass could not be poly hhhhhh.
32: what advice do you have for your 12 year old self?
be more selfish. you don’t have to put yourself second for the sake of others, especially at your age. nothing you do will matter in a decade, go fucking wild.
33: have you ever been to a gay bar?
nope. i want to go one day, but i have terrible social anxiety.
34: leather jackets or flannel?
both of those are really hot, but i’m gonna go with leather jacket.
35: describe your dream girlfriend
- vampire
- big tiddy goth gf
- nice personality or smthn
- uhhhhhhhhh tiddy
(ok but srsly, i can’t answer this question bcs i NEVER know what i want!! i always thought my type was THICC for sure, but all three of the ladies i have feelings for rn are pretty skinny and flat chested)
36: do you have any lesbian friends?
at least 50 lol.
37: what elements of gay culture do you actively participate in?
air, water, sometimes earth. never fire.
38: do you find straight people irritating?
nope, but i do find straight pda uncomfortable to look at. mostly bcs it reminds me of what i'm supposed to want. but i’d never tell a straight person that, obviously. i’m not rude.
39: would you rather adopt a kid or have a biological kid?
i’ll adopt a tortoise, and feed her any children that cross my path. but if i did ever have a child, i’d want it to be biologically mine and my wife’s. mostly bcs i’d want to know what it would look like, which is a selfish and stupid reason to have kids, and exactly why i’m not gonna lmao.
40: do you love yourself?
i’m a LEO (jokes aside, i don’t know. sometimes i do, sometimes i don’t. but i love myself more as time goes on. definitely more than i did than when i was a teen, at least.)

RWBY Volume 4 Episode 11
Almost every scene in episode 11 felt like it made sense and was well constructed. There were a few annoyances but overall I want to say it's the best episode of the season, which has been a mess so far. Is this the crew “getting the hang of it” or just a coincidence?
 Cinder and the evil crew
From episode 1, I was interested in seeing more of Cinder’s struggle so it’s interesting that she is still not fully recovered unlike some other characters in this show who arguably lost more. It made me wonder as to whether Ruby’s attack was just hard to recover from or if she was just tired from a lot training. Maybe the writer’s just forgot about her too.
Tumblr media
The viewer isn’t given any context as to how much effort has been expended, like “we’ve been at this for hours” or Yang’s “we’ve been at this for weeks” in episode 9. Not that it’s necessary to give that context, but it helps the viewer understand if Cinder is stronger because of the maiden’s power, still struggling to master it, or actually weaker because of Ruby’s ultimate attach and some weird inability to heal from it.
As small as it is, I’m really glad to see Cinder breathing heavily and struggling in the midst of a fight. Compare this scene with Team RNJR in Vol 4 Ep 6 when they fight Tyrian. We were supposed to believe RNJR was at their limits before Qrow came to save the day, but none of them showed any cosmetic damage or signs of exhaustion except for Ruby.
Tumblr media
Cinder seemed to be creeped out by Tyrian’s bloodlust or desire for torture. On the surface, this seems to be at odds with her past behavior in helping release Grimm on civilians. Maybe she just doesn’t like the torture part of it and prefers just to make the kill quick. But hasn’t she been dealing with these people for some time now? Tyrian can’t be the only one crazy in the group.
What would cause that kind of change in someone? Besides her defeat at the hands of Ruby, we haven’t seen Cinder in any kind of traumatic situation or any kind of questioning of her past actions. The defeat could’ve been traumatic and have triggered this existential crisis in her, but the viewer hasn’t seen any of those dots connected on screen.
I saw a comment theorize that in taking Amber's power, Cinder took part of her soul and that's become mixed with hers. I guess that's possible at this point but I hope there's some decent on-screen explanation if she does switch sides.
Even though I’m interested in where this leads, I’m okay with the lack of “evil” screen time this season. I think the other characters would’ve suffered even more if they had less screen time. After season 3 I was more immediately concerned with Team RWBY’s state despite the desire to know what Salem’s true plans are.
 Normal conversations with Yang and Tai
Tumblr media
The conversation in this episode feels normal. Normal in the sense that I can imagine this as a conversation between a daughter and her father in their situations. I’m glad this trend continued from episode 9. When Tai asks “Where are you going?” it feels like the most intimate question that has been asked all season. Blake’s dad does ask “What’s wrong? What did I say?” in Ep 8 and that similarly leads to a great moment. But it’s still unfortunately rare this volume.
My point being that I don’t think the question “How are you doing?” has been asked enough in this volume, the one where it needs to be asked of every character. Not in the casual greeting sense, but in “How are you grappling with the death of two friends and the general chaotic state of world affairs?”
Does it need to be asked when it’s clear these characters are either depressed or not dealing with their emotions in a positive manner? Yes, to show that these characters care about each other as friends. When Tai asks Yang to try the prosthetic arm on in episode 3, her response is “I’m not feeling too great right now.” Her father doesn’t take that opportunity to show any compassion or empathy to his daughter who has been moping around the house for 6 months. When I first saw that scene, I was convinced that Tai didn’t care at all and that seems to be the opposite of what the writers were aiming for.
Tumblr media
Similarly, no one on Team RNJR has asked each other how they are doing despite them being friends and it being clear they are still suffering inside. 
Tumblr media
Back in Volume 3, after Yang’s incident with Mercury and her disqualification, there’s a pretty good scene between the members of Team RWBY. 
Tumblr media
Immediately after that, Jaune asks the others if she’s doing okay. There’s at least some acknowledgement that they recognize she’s in pain and that that pain is a concern amongst those who know her. It doesn’t even matter that Jaune specifically hasn’t even had an extended onscreen conversation with Yang. But it’s a question that normal people ask each other when they see others hurting.
I kept hoping that they would address this issue and although there have been some improvements, it needs to be applied to all the characters.
 Weiss
Tumblr media
Ironwood and Weiss’s dad’s conversation was solid as well. This discussion adds more tension to the story and gives us some perspective on the state of chaos the world is really in. The small villages that RNJR passes through and the remote islands like Menagerie don’t do as good of a job at this, so the conversation was a nice way around that.
Weiss is probably the worst teammate when it comes to stealth, but it’s also Weiss, someone who has never had to “hide” in life so it fits with the character. I guess there was no stealth class at Beacon. I’m still not sure about the whole running away without ever speaking to her mother on screen. I guess it’s okay because Oscar, the farm boy, ran away without talking to his mother/aunt. Maybe Weiss hates her mother as much as her father-in-law. We’ll just never know.
 Blake
Tumblr media
I enjoyed Blake’s scenes as well. As sick as it sounds, I’m glad someone in this show isn’t fully recovered. It’s hard to tell if this one conversation has solved all her problems, which I’m hoping it hasn’t.
During the conversation, Sun complains about Blake pushing her friends out, but if you ask me, Sun needs to be pushed out sometimes. However, I’ll make an exception for him this time because for once the writers didn’t have him make any stupid jokes or patronizing lines, he just listened for once this volume.
Tumblr media
I did of course hate that they reused the same door joke from episode 9 for the same exact purpose of transitioning to another scene. It also served again to interrupt an emotional scene, this time between Sun and Blake, which ended up ruining the moment for me.
Last time they did this, I tried to be reasonable. I tried to understand their logic that maybe Sun “ran” into the door and that knocked it down. But it seems my reasoning was in vain. Why would Blake’s mother run into a door in her own house when she’s fully aware of how the doors function?
Why is this house so poorly built in the first place?
Maybe I shouldn’t even try to critique these jokes since there have been times in the past such as the Vol 2 opening food fight, Zwei in the mail, Ruby using taunting Zwei with a giant turkey on her scythe, etc., when physics/logic are played with to result in a punch line.
I think my main complaint is not that the joke is illogical but that it just comes at the wrong time, especially when solid emotional scenes have been sorely missing from this volume.
 RN and JR quickly reunited
Tumblr media
I understand the team broke up in the first place to “raise the stakes” and ramp up the tension. But after all of Ren’s protesting that there was no time and that it would take too long, the team met back up quite easily. Were Ren and Nora running just that fast? Was it only because Ruby and Jaune stayed in one place for such a long time? Maybe Ren was just making up excuses so he wouldn’t have to go through Kuroyuri and the two locations really weren’t that far apart.
I also wondered to myself how the Kuroyuri episode would’ve turned out if Ren and Nora faced their fears together and walked through the town with the rest of the team. People seemed to enjoy the episode as it was, so I’m not sure there’s a need for that. Maybe it would’ve made the episode even more emotional or it might’ve just not worked out.
 With one episode left, I expect the finale fight to be tough until Yang, Weiss, or someone else pops in from out of nowhere.

flower crown fairy lights daisies 1975 matte black nail polish pantone moodboard stars plants converse lace handwriting cactus sunrise oil paints overalls combat boots winged eyeliner pastel tattoos piercings bands messy bun cry baby grunge space white bed sheets old books beaches eyes 11:11 painting lightning thunder storms love clouds coffee marble
T H E N E V E R E N D I N G A S K (I wasn’t ignoring you, I’m gonna be honest, I forgot this was sitting in my drafts waiting to be completed aaaaa)
flower crown: when did you last sing to yourself? - A few minutes ago. I left my iPod in my co-worker’s car so I kinda have nothing better to do. All my favorite apps are on there.
fairy lights: if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything, what would you want to know? - Are alternate universes real and is there one where I am content and happy? (sorry to get depressing there bud but life just ain’t what I want it to be rn)
daisies: what is the greatest accomplishment of your life? - I haven’t experienced enough things to  really say I’ve accomplished anything. I guess getting a job and keeping it for as long as I have? Six months and counting.
1975: what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise? - Seeing a gif of a kitten walking over to a camera man and then proceeding to nap on him and walk all over his shoulders and sit on his head while he had to hold almost completely still.
matte: if you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? - This question as me depressed and low key anxious I don’t think I can answer it without crying sorry
black nail polish: do you have a bucket list? if so, what are the top three things? - Not really. I try to avoid really confronting my own mortality. Thinking about dying both scares and tempts me and it’s really weird and terrifying and no bueno. Gosh my answers seem so depressing I’m sorry bab aaAAAA
pantone: describe a person close to your life in detail. - I’m too lazy to describe anyone again but um my brother c’: Again. Heckie
moodboard: do you feel you had a happy childhood? - I suppose. I mean it definitely could have been better, but it’s not really on “tragic backstory” level so I guess yeah. I dunno how to answer this, in all honesty.
stars: when did you last cry in front of another person? - Earlier tonight
plants: pick a person to stargaze with you and explain why you picked them. - My friend Antonio. He’s weird but he loves space and it’s nice to hear how excited he gets talking about the stars and planets because he’s super passionate about it. I just like when my friends are happy ya know? So I know stargazing with my space buddy would be fun.
converse: would you ever have a deep conversation with a stranger and open up to them? - Honestly I have before. I don’t mean for it to, but sometimes the conversations just take that direction. I’m a big oversharer.
lace: when was your last 3am conversation with someone, and who were they to you? - fam I’m always up at 3am wym I stay talkin to ppl at 3am (for the record it’s usually my mom and/or brother)
handwriting: if you were about to die, and you could only say one more sentence to one person, what would you say and to whom? - Again, I can’t answer this without crying I’m sorry.
cactus: what is your opinion on brown eyes? - I have them and I love them why is this up for discussion why is this a question is there brown eye discourse???
sunrise: pick a quote and describe what it means to you personally. - “I don’t care what you think, as long as it’s about me.” …….. I really like attention. More seriously though, I like knowing that I’m real to other people. I know it sounds weird but sometimes I just like being reminded that I actually exist in other people’s lives and that I’m a real person???? Idk how to describe it but yeah. That line makes me think about that aspect of myself a lot.
oil paints: what would you title the autobiography of your life so far? - “Still Figuring It Out”
overalls: what would you do with one billion dollars? - cry because I can finally get my family out of our rough situation, spoil my mom and brother rotten, buy lots of pretty makeup, travel the world, and still have enough left over to live comfortably for the rest of my life without ever having to work again unless I want to to have something to do.
combat boots: are you a very forgiving person? do you like being this way? - I am. Sometimes too much for my own good. Sometimes I like it just cause it can help settle conflicts quicker and sometimes I don’t because not only do I let toxic people back into my life but it causes me to miss them and desperately want them back because I convince myself “it’s in the past, it wasn’t that bad, and they’ve probably changed so I should let it go”.
winged eyeliner: write a hundred word letter to your twelve year old self. - Dear Mikii,
First of all what a weird nick-name you dork. I’m Gabby. I’m still just as much of a dork so don’t feel bad. You’re going through a weird phase in your life right now. You’re confused and probably questioning who you are. That’s not really going to stop, but it gets better. It gets easier to deal with. Eventually you’ll work for your favorite pizza place and, while it’s stressful, you’ll make cool friends and you’ll make money, and nobody will be able to tell you what you can and can’t buy. It’ll be awesome. You got this
pastel: would you describe yourself as more punk or pastel? - I guess I lean closer to the punk side. It’s kind of funny because I have the soft cute personality that you’d think would fit on a pastel type person and honestly that’s my aesthetic but style wise, I usually go for darker colors and stuff. My brother is the polar opposite. Punk personality and pastel style.
tattoos: how do you feel about tattoos and piercings? explain. - Yes. Body art is yes. I love it and I want it. If you have tattoos and/or piercings I am 75% more likely to get some kind of crush on you.
piercings: do you wear a lot of makeup? why/why not? - yes, because I like it and it’s pretty.
bands: talk about a song/band/lyric that has affected your life in some way. - I dunno if this counts much, I had to think long and hard on this one, but Crossfire by Stephen makes me think a lot about current events and police brutality and the bombings in other countries and just a bunch of sad stuff that’s going on now which I know is the point but it makes me really think about the privilege I do have compared to those who face discrimination and oppression far more harshly than I ever will and I just heckin
heck
messy bun: the world is listening. pick one sentence you would tell them. - “Prince didn’t die for this.”
cry baby: list the concerts you have been to and talk about how they make you feel. - I’ve only ever been to one and it was a local band so
grunge: who in the world would you most like to receive a letter from and what would you want it to say? - Idk man probably my dad. Not gonna go in depth but I’ll say this. I’d want a large sum of money included and a 5 page long apology letter.
space: do you have a desk/workspace and how is it organised/not organised? - nope nothing is organized and I dont have a workspace
white bed sheets: what is your night time routine? - stay up til I physically cannot hold my eyes open anymore then fall asleep
old books: what’s one thing you don’t want your parents to know? - that I’m not Christian and that I have a um…. device. Of some sort.
beaches: if you had to dye your hair how would you dye/style it and why? - Keep it red / make it redder, probably some kind of undercut or side shave
eyes: pick five people to go on an excursion with you. who would you pick and where would you go/what would you do? - 1. Alin2. Mikey3. Kaylee4. Dom5. Rose
I’d take these nerds with me as I travel the globe and try new experiences, shop cool unique things, and just live my dream life with. I’d go to the ends of the earth with these precious babies.
11:11: name three wishes and why you wish for them. - (1) Wealth. I want to pay off my mother’s college debt, buy her a nice place to stay as well as somewhere for myself, buy my brother anything his little heart desires, donate to fundraisers and charities, live my dream life, etc. (2) Clear skin. I’m pretty confident in my body shape and all, but I can’t stand my skin. Especially everywhere that isn’t my face. My shoulders have it the worst. (3) Someone willing to date me who doesn’t live thousands of miles away would be lovely. I mean I can do long distance but I just crave physical affection ya know? I dunno man I’m just lonely.
painting: what is the best halloween costume you have ever put together? if none, make one up. - Well, last year I was a dead cowgirl. I used my day of the dead makeup and wore a flannel, jeans, boots, and a cowboy hat that I got from party city. Relatively simple, but it was still fun to see little kids’ reactions and everything at work.
lightning: what’s the worst thing you’ve ever done while drunk or high? - this implies I’ve gotten drunk or high before (I’ve been kind of tipsy before but otherwise I’m fucking lame and I don’t do that stuff)
thunder: what’s one thing you would never do for one million dollars? - kill somebody (there are a few exceptions but in general ya know?)
storms: you can only listen to one song for the rest of your life, or only see one person for the rest of your life. which and why? - both of these would drive me literally insane let’s not and say we did
love: have you ever fallen in love? describe what it feels like to realize you’re in love. - I think I have. I don't know. To me it's realizing the things I'd be willing to do for that person. Just wanting to make them happy. Wanting to spoil them, see them smile, hear their stupid jokes even if they aren't funny, see all the ugly or silly faces they make, and just loving everything about them. Overcoming my biggest insecurities and discomforts for them. Realizing that there are certain things I can only see myself doing with them. When I read those couple posts I think of them, even though it's been over a year since we've been together. Hearing a certain song or artist is tainted by thoughts of them, when nothing would come to mind before I got to know them. Filling spots in my mind and heart that for years had been left vacant. Realizing that despite how much they've hurt me, I'd gladly take them back if they asked. Feeling like it was the right love at the wrong time, even though it probably wasn't the right love at all. Falling in love to me is having them lurking around every corner of my mind, the darkest shadows, the deepest trenches, even when I'm not thinking of them, they're always there. Even when I'm not thinking about them, I somehow am. I don't know if this is love or obsession, admittedly. Maybe I just need help lol
clouds: if you’re a boy, would you ever rock black nail polish? if you’re a girl, would you ever rock really really short hair? - I’d rock both and look sexy while doing it
coffee: what’s your starbucks order, and who would you trust to order for you, if anyone? - I don’t go to starbucks enough to really say
marble: what is the most important thing to you in your life right now? - my family and getting us out of the tough situation we’re in right now
