You of all people should realize that sometimes motivations for behavior can be more complex and mysterious than tracing them back to one single childhood experience.

the thing about danny and apollinaire’s relationship that is vital to understanding burn the stars is that making those two fall in love was the worst thing i could’ve done to either of them

#the thing is that they are not unstoppable force meets immovable object they r unstoppable force #meets unstoppable force and they are gonna BLOW EACH OTHER UP #collision disastrous enough to birth a new sun lol #girl who has to control everything all of the time (trauma response) and girl who thinks she should be able to do whatever she wants #forever and ever and ever (also a trauma response) #and then they. well i shant say. #danny and apollinaire realizing the other person has become an inextricable part of their life: OH GOD OH FUCK OH NO PLEASE PLEASE NO #<- especially danny theyre so upset. just when you think your at your lowest you wanna fuck a ginger. anyways. #wip: burn the stars

[drunk-poets-society]

Kinda blows my mind sometimes when people don’t understand that there really is no wrong way to analyse media.

Everyone looks at things differently, and any personal interpretations are heavily influenced by the self, and one’s own life experiences that have shaped them.

No two people deal with problems the same way. Although a basic understanding of what the author was trying to convey is important, in media of an ambiguous nature it is up for interpretation because such is the nature of ambiguity.

Of course, reading comprehension and background knowledge is very important in literary analyses, which is why media analyses are grouped into distinct sections, that is; a completely neutral perspective, in which one draws the analysis around the stencils of societal values, which may not always be morally correct, but is completely detached from humanity, I.e., existing solely as a concept which is to be applied, much like concepts of mathematics.

And then there’s the reader’s own interpretation which is heavily biased and influenced by personal experiences. Whence one draws parallels with one’s life, and other forms of media consumed, concepts of personal favour, etc.

in this section of literary analysis, there is no wrong interpretation as it draws from personal interests. This is also, the kind of analysis we see most on the internet, or just discussing media with people in real life. It’s tainted heavily with personal biases, which are sometimes believed to be factual by people, sometimes almost to the point of genuine hatred of others that do not agree with them.

Thus we see the phenomena of name-calling and other things. The belief that one’s personal interpretation is the only correct one, and the rest of them are all wrong.

Sometimes the inability to acknowledge the fact that everyone is different, and will thus have different interpretations of media, leads to immense psychological distress, which can simply be avoided by not engaging in debates in an uncivil manner.

That’s why I don’t try to change people’s minds about my favourite pieces of media, my interpretation is my own, and though it might overlap and share many of its points with others, they relate to me in a different way. The nature of humanity is such that each experience is so alarmingly universal yet so painfully unique.

#bah idk lol it’s just. I’ve been thinking about this #whenever I see people being like ‘this interpretation is clearly WRONG you are WRONG’ like your opinion will obviously seem right to you #but I guess picking up fights with others you barely know is an intrinsic part of human nature #just because someone said something about something because let’s face it none of our opinions are our own #and never have been. we got them from people who got them from people who got it from people who- you get the point #but I just don’t get how people have the energy to argue with others like you know that the other person is just as insistent on their #belief as you are in yours. it’s an unstoppable force meets immovable object situation #sure you can engage in discussions you should most of all be willing to learn. most importantly learn to see things from other people’s #perspective and you’ll realise that the world isn’t black&white its always gray and nothing is completely good or completely bad. of course #there are things that exist on the extreme ends of the spectrum but most of everything is in the gray area. and you can’t change someone’s #core beliefs no matter what if you’re standoffish it’s just a matter of intellectual exchange the willingness to learn etc I’m rambling now #idk if this makes sense. eh. whatever. #text #media analysis #literary analysis #whatever whatever #I Wonder if anyone will read this

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐄: 𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐀𝐘

“I want something that says I’m sorry he’s dead… but not that sorry. He was a dog and you loved him more than you loved me. Can you do a bunch that says that?”

You’re stuck between laughing and sighing, looking through your inventory for subtle grief flowers, whatever those may be. The last customer of the day is always bound to be the hardest, a cheating boyfriend who needs forgiveness, an uncertain last moment gift, occasional odder ones that would go straight into the stories kept to gossip at your friends from an otherwise untuburlent life. You give the woman violets and start loading your company pickup truck as she leaves.

“What’s the job?” Dina from the store next door asks, helping with your boxes of potted flower arrangements, wiling the sweat off her forehead as she does so, the usual bright smile plastered across her face in a familiar warmth you have grown to adore.

“Another wedding, rich people really do love their spring engagements” You chuckle, tossing them out in the back of the truck, hands on your waist with an audible breath as you stand finally facing Dina into your focus.

“Nice couple?”

“Haven’t met them, it’s all about the mother in law” Dina rolls her eyes at that but silently agrees, her own distaste of weddings being duo to her on and off boyfriend’s mother aswell.

“Hey, me and Jesse are going out later, wanna come with after your ceremony?” You nod happily at her, her surprise being caught off guard making you laugh as you climb onto the front seat, hands ready on the steering wheel, you exchange a few more pleasentries and promises before you are truly on your way, feeling uncomfortably underdressed already by the pantsuit you barely had time to put on nearly stained by dirt around the heels.

You stare around the venue’s outdoors as some well dressed men come pick up your arrangements and spread them across the place, it doesn’t take long before you spot who you assume to be the groom amongst some family members well spread out. Staring briefly down your clothes and running your fingers through your hair to tame it pretty you walk towards him, arm extended forwards for a handshake.

“Are you Owen, the groom?”

He nods uncertainly, taking your hand and his as a little girl tugs on his suit, excessively calling out his name in effervescent curiosity only known to an eight year old girl, bubbly in all her existence, you smile down at the child, nearly distracted.

“Hi, I’m y/n, I did your flowers”

“Well I wouldn’t know a nice flower from a poke in the eye, but I’m sure they are lovely, yeah, thank you!” The girl wouldn’t stop as he spoke, the words Owen Owen Owen please still echoing.

“Owen I have a question, please!”

“Not now, Olivia!” His mother scolded but the guy still smiled warmly, kneeling down to her height level in good familiar fashion and asked her what it was, bright eyes becoming brighter.

“Owen, what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?”

“It never happens” You chime in istinctively, regretting it the second you do so as all eyes fall on you, yet you continue for the sake of the child’s curiosity “If there's a thing that can't be stopped... it's not possible for there to be something else which can't be moved, and vice versa. They can't both exist. You see, it's a trick question… is the answer.”

“Can she sit with me?” Olivia asks enthusiastically making you laugh as she grabs onto your hands and bombards you with new questions, like why is the alphabet in that order.

“Flower girl is hot” Ellie speaks to Owen as you are out of sight, his hand coming up to his face to press against his temple as he sighs looking back at you utterly entertained by his sister “I got a vibe from her, she’s a lesbian for sure, you think she’s into me?”

“I think she didn’t even look at you” Owen points out.

“Yeah, well, by the end of this she’ll be into me”

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.

Abby takes a deep sigh. She’s ready, she thinks, grasping onto her father’s arm while the song echoes her through the aisle. It has been a long time since she has had all eyes on her in this manner and it wasn’t exactly a comfortable feeling as it once felt, uncertain whether to look straight towards her future husband, at the ground to not trip, or towards her guests. She glances at Owen for a moment, his smile brightly unfaltered and immediately regretted it with a weird feeling in her stomach. She turns to the guests then, smiling around at familiar faces and finally, she sees you, and you see her. You see her. You see her, she feels.

Something else replaces the anxiety in her stomach, and it feels oddly like the fluttering wings of a butterfly. Her heart speeds up and her palms get sweaty, rubbing against the white fabric of her dress, she’s self conscious in a different way, a raw way. Her smile sends you shivers. The moment passes sooner than it began as her steps quicken towards Owen. She can’t shake the feeling something has changed. A divide.

my stand in ep 4 thoughts, feelings, etc

WOW WA WE WAA THAT SURE WAS AN EPISODE HUH - happy to report i went back through the episode slowly this week and took notes and really tried to gather everything i wanted to say (but i will inevitably forget something)

🌸 ok disclaimers because i have a lot of them for this particular episode 🌸

i'm just a silly guy on the internet, i'm not an expert in mental health, psychology, body language, whatever. most days i can't even take care of myself. i'm just saying things recreationally.

PLEASE do not put novel spoilers in my replies, reblogs, or tags without a warning notice. i've got an itchy blocking finger for it these days.

i am treating ming and joe and everyone involved in this show as if they were real life human beings. ming was not born some mustache twirling villain sent from hell to make joe miserable. joe is not some pure angel descended from the clouds to do no wrong. everyone in this show exhibits very human behavior and that can be distressing under certain circumstances. i'm just going to comment on them as humans. i'm not interested in a round table discussion on why a character is irredeemable, the scum of the earth, etc. i'm just putting my thoughts out there and you can take them or leave them.

🌸 alright yucky disclaimer time over 🌸

the episode really just picks us back up where everything left off - and yet joe still made ming breakfast, and ming isn't stupid (well right now at least,) he knows something is off.

i am confused why tong needs to get married on this specific day. and like bro how fast are you getting married? relax. the whole thing is just unstoppable force (trajectory of this producers career) meets immovable object (tong's fuckass stubbornness) and the collateral damage is massive.

and then there's the question of did joe ever want to play a lead? or did he let his impulsiveness and hurt put a target on his back? (only emphasized by the fact that everyone assumed joe would turn down the role)

i DO apologize for all my doubt surrounding wut. he, ja, and may are the only people in this show with any god damn sense. maybe jojo and yim. we'll see.

getting into the confrontation at joe's work, i really don't think it's that surprising when we keep in mind ming genuinely has no fucking clue what is going on. all he knows is joe woke up, was acting weird, didn't come home, and then told him to pack up his shit and leave with ZERO explanation. like, joe's completely in the right, but i'd also be confused as fuck. (i wouldn't go to someone's work about it but, y'know, we know ming acts in extremes.)

and to me this is where it really became obvious that joe has always been able to overpower ming, to get away from him, as we have seen joe's physical prowess, we've seen what he's capable of, but he never uses his body to move ming away from him - that's not who joe is, he's not someone that would put his hands on another person like that. it's just another way ming and joe are the direct antithesis of each other.

it's my thought that the argument escalates because ming is used to getting everything he wants - except for tong, and now joe. when joe begins to push him away and deny him his substitution for tong i think ming lashes out in his hurt with a thought of "it's happening again, why doesn't anyone want me?"

i will say while i do believe sol has good intentions for the most part his white knighting is getting a little irksome. while convenient, it just shows how much he's still hovering and laying in wait for a chance with joe - he, too, is not respecting joe's wishes. no is a complete sentence, sol.

and then things continue back at home and joe finally, finally throws ming's words back at him: if i'm so terrible to be with, if you're so great, why are you wasting your time with me?

and ming doesn't have an answer. what ming DOES have is another back embrace, arms wrapped around joe as he asks "don't you love me anymore?" but is he asking joe or tong?

"although i'm not as good as tong" even now joe's rampant self worth issues are still at play but at least he finally knows he's worth more than whatever this is.

then the phone rings and to me, ming looks skittish. he looks shaken. he's never seen joe so angry and he's scared and as the call progresses that fear morphs into rage when sol calls joe. and the thing is, regardless of who played the main role, ming was never going to be happy. it was either going to be joe or tong playing opposite sol and neither of those things would have been acceptable.

and then i said, out loud, in my quiet office: OH! and promptly lost my shit in the group chat.

ming doesn't look wholly present after his act of violence. his face is vacant, like he isn't completely seeing or grasping what he's just done. i get the impression that ming isn't mentally well; stress and fear and anger have a way of making people do really fucking stupid things and as these things happen you risk falling into the sunk cost fallacy - you've already gone this far, you can't stop now - which all aligns with the obsessive behavior we've seen from ming in the past.

as joe wakes up and they talk once again joe doesn't blame ming, he blames himself for not seeing the writing on the walls even though it was written in invisible ink.

"all these times we were together did you ever love me?"

"you can't tell?"

again, so much of the blame and emotional responsibility of their situationship is put on joe and ming refuses to communicate any of his feelings, perhaps because he doesn't know how to after repressing everything for so long.

WE DIDN'T GET HOT KINKY CHAINED UP SEX THOUGH, WHY DOES GOD HATE ME SPECIFICALLY

but the way joe looks at ming as they linger there in the wake of joe's request looks like a goodbye, the way his eyes soak in every detail of ming's face. despite all of this and the nightmare it has turned into he did love ming, perhaps still does, and he does have some of those good memories he was so desperate to keep.

though like.. joe.... maybe we could consider a different career path??? instead of just jumping to risking our lives? like sure food service sucks, cashiering sucks, etc. but you aren't in danger of falling off any cliffs, you know? and let's be real, he could just go into modeling with those looks.

it's my impression that when ming calls joe he looks haggard, like he's lost numerous nights of sleep (and we really don't know how much time has passed) but either way it does seem like he's at least done some amount of reflecting. his voice comes across soft, subdued, and sincere.

and after everything, back in the present, we see ming. he's still in the apartment, desperately calling joe's name all these years later, still unable to sleep and waiting for joe to come home just like he asked him to years ago.

maybe ming never wanted to enter the entertainment industry before, but he has now. perhaps it was never for the attention or the money, maybe he chose to promote those watches because it was a reminder of the gift from joe. and maybe this job, in this specific industry, is the closest he can feel to joe now. and maybe with new influence and connections ming can find out why he was never able to tell joe he loved him before he lost him.

WHO KNOWS, NOT ME, CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT THO

#bunn meta #my stand in #my stand in the series #usersasa #clairedaring #i can never find a good place to mention it but in like ep 1 ming knows how joe takes his coffee #after just like 1 day with him so like ming IS paying attention and DOES care for joe #as we see reinforced with his little gifts and the way he went shopping with him and stuff #the things ming does to show his love and care are very blink and you'll miss it #and it's hard for me to squeeze in my thoughts on that between everything else going on

If you're still doing headcanon requests, what about a Wally x workaholic perfectionist?

Love your writing and whenever you have the time I'd love to see what you think of this :)

ahhh thank you sweet and precious anon!!! 🥰 oooh now this one is hitting home...i'm guessing you are a workaholic perfectionist yourself? you may have guessed from the outpouring of fanworks i've made both for Welcome Home in general that i also fit into this category 🙈 thank you for this cathartic writing opportunity!

Wally Darling x Workaholic, Perfectionist Reader headcanons

💖 it's your passion which draws Wally to you in the first place. an easy-going, less-thoughts-in-the-head-than-most sort of fellow, Wally prefers to take life at a leisurely pace - but all of that is thrown out of the window when he meets you. you're so full of verve, forever jotting down notes or scribbling sketches in your notebooks, or coming up with grand ideas for outings and events. in fact, when the two of you first meet Wally says very little at all: he's quite content to sit with his chin cradled in his palm, gazing whilst you infodump about your latest obsession and the countless related projects you're going to create. Wally feels that you're an unstoppable force, and he's an immovable object...but he's so excited to be in the presence of such a tour de force of enthusiasm 🔥

💖 however, Wally doesn't always understand why your work makes you so upset. Wally understands the concept of a job - after all, his good friend Howdy Pillar has a fantastic job, working at the bugdega! but the kind of work typical of the Neighbourhood is much less structured and capitalism-driven, and the laxness of this system gives you severe anxiety. Wally grows concerned when he notices you staying up later and later, hunched over your desk and crumpling up endless sheets of paper. when the darkness shifts into a burgeoning dawn, a fuzzy hand grips your wrist, stilling it against your desk. "You don't need to have one perfect idea," Wally says, picking up and uncrumpling one of your discarded sheets. "You just need to enjoy having ideas in the first place!"

💖 eventually, Wally realises that your perfectionistic, workaholic tendencies aren't going away - so he compromises. on more than one occasion when you've passed out on the couch surrounded by half-read books, you've awoken to find your shoulders draped with Wally's soft cardigan. but some days are so stressful that no amount of cosy fabric will calm you down. when days where you're driven to distraction and frazzled by tasks read their heads, Wally likes to play a game of his own invention: something he calls Puppet Time. if Wally senses you're about to have a breakdown, he will announce, "it's Puppet Time!" and launch himself right into your arms. once contact is established, Wally will go completely limp, meaning there's nothing you can do but drop whatever you're holding and grab Wally before he hits the ground. no matter how stressed you are, this never fails to make you burst into laughter, and you're always much more receptive to a rest afterwards. Wally will continue his boneless routine even as you swing him up over your shoulders, giving him a free ride to a different room for a well-deserved break ✨

haha, this was a seriously fun one!! i hope you know you deserve to rest when you need it, anon. take care 🥰

[the-last-thread-of-my-sanity]

It honestly makes sense to me for Armin and Annie to have an awkward little crush on each other in their cadet days, and I think it’s because they are both kind of incapable of normal flirting.

Not of being sharp-witted or sarcastic- because they both are- but there are so many instances where someone is talking to them and they just take whatever they are saying totally literally.

Armin is so earnest in everything he says and assumes the same in other people- in a lot of conversations with Jean he misses the joke (relatable honestly). And Annie on the other hand is dead-pan and serious in everything she says, even when she is joking. So, I feel like all of their conversations occurred because most people would hear something Annie would say and be like “Oh, wow, what a bitch,” and Armin would just be like “Sure, and also another thing..” because he’s an excessive yapper who doesn’t pick up on conversational subtext sometimes.

And it becomes an unstoppable force (Armin) meets an immovable object (Annie) and eventually she just lets her guard down and keeps talking to him.

As full of tension as it is, I always think about in Stohess when they are walking with Eren and Mikasa and Annie is poking holes in his plan and straight up calling it stupid and Armin just backs it up with more reasoning without even getting offended or flustered and this look passes between Eren and Mikasa like ‘are they flirting right now?’ Because yes, actually, they are- but in a way only the two of them ever could.

Which is why I think their conversation on the boat is so adorable because it’s the first time either of them have tried to beat around the bush in a conversation and it’s so uncomfortable for two people just used to stating verbatim whatever they’re thinking.

In short, I think the way they communicate with each other is adorable and so unique to them, and it makes sense in the end that Armin would understand Annie in a way that no one else does.

#armin artlert #annie leonhardt #armin x annie #aruannie #aruani #cadet aruani #am i sort of implying that both of them are slightly neurodivergent #yes yes i am #you don’t have to agree but like… there’s a case for it is all I’m sayin

[svtskneecaps]

oh yet another good purgatory moment i rediscovered earlier today, and i'm willing to bet i said something about this when it first happened, but day 3 i believe when tubbo came to bolas spawn and was chatting with foolish and asked to borrow their enchanting table and foolish was dodging the FUCK out of the question and refusing to clarify if they even had an enchanting table, meanwhile tubbo's noticing the evasions and calling them out

like foolish goes "idek how to make an enchanting table" and tubbo goes "so you do have one, but you didn't make it" and foolish goes "well i didn't SAY that" and they go back and forth and then foolish goes "listen i don't see an enchanting table in [the hole in the wall that is the bolas base]" and philza like stifles a giggle bc he has the enchanting table in his inventory rn and foolish def knows it

like the fucking mental chess that they're both playing like a fucking unstoppable force vs immovable object type beat. trickster meets trickster. every time i see that conversation i want to take notes holy shit. a dishonest person who never tells lies meets a guy who knows his tactics and unlike badboyhalo doesn't join the dance but smashes through the wall like a goddamn sledgehammer. i LOVE THAT SHIT it was like that time tubbo went circles around cucurucho the first time they met or whatever. amazing. 10/10

i'm also thinking about this now bc i noticed jaiden doing it too, on day 4 during all the spawnkilling (yes i watched that vod again lmfao it's too good not to). like when pierre is taking her over to the green base and she stops herself when saying "it's time for my revenge on green team" and corrects it to "my revenge on elquackity", and when bbh came back to red spawn to escort her safely to her body after she quickwarped via punching a whale, she didn't say outright that she was going to take him to her base when she started walking, just implied it and then took off.

like goddamn. i love that shit. i eat that shit up. i love when characters are tricky and manipulative. bbh and foolish talking in extended metaphors is an absolute feast for me.

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory #i'd get quotes but it's like 5 am oops #stayed up too late watching that vod it's just the coolest fucking shit #i will not apologize lmao #shut up vic #block game brainrot #oh i'll reply to this post w time stamps when it's not 5 am btw

[the-writing-mobster]

Why do you ship Sans x Frisk? As a person who ships them myself, what do you see in them, like about them? Personality traits, situations, tropes etc, anything that comes to mind, what makes you enjoy them and continue to breathe life to them?

Honestly, for me, personally? There's no satisfying answer for this because it just kind of clicked. They're the same height and they look good together aesthetically. I ultimately ship Sans with a human. Frisk is The Human (idc about what sticklers consider canon, canon is honestly dead to me, but whatever)

Hold on... Let me pull a better reason out of my ass real quick.

The Official "Why Mob Ships Frans" Explanation:

✨ In Game Pacifist Route:

His mystery, his unattainability (Frisk can flirt with everyone but him, which could mean many things, but I think it's cute if it's like a super flirtatious person that can't seem to function around the person they actually want), the outings he takes Frisk on just to chat. The fact he seems to trust Frisk with sensitive information? The little pranks.

💔 In Game Geno Route:

The neverending fight to the death. The "I'm onto your tricks" The judge vs the Executioner dynamic. Unstoppable force meets immovable object.

Aaaaannnnnnd, reeeaaaallllly, I started shipping Frans because of Underfell. It just makes even *more* sense with Underfell because Sans is such a... I consider him the most romantic of all Sanses? Weird and twisted romance, of course, but still. Hence why the main content on my page is Underfell related (I'm starting to branch out though, aren't we all proud?? Haha)

So yeah. There's your answer.

#why Mob ships Frans #why frans? #frans #frisk x sans #ask and answer #the be all end all of why frans explanations #i don't wanna hear any other arguments #there's no real answer to this though for me because it's genuinely all vibes tbh #mob talks #mob answers #thank you for the ask! #undertale #sans x frisk

[amaesama]

this is so fucking specific so i understand if you don’t wanna do this but ..

could i req smth about the pastas (particularly toby, ben, and ej) with a super cuddly, affectionate s/o, who’s also prone to getting hurt easily because of a genetic disorder?

i bruise from basically nothing and i’m more prone to breaking bones, which isn’t smth you want when surrounded by serial killers, but GOD i wanna cuddle them so bad. unstoppable force meets immovable object

I- LOVE THIS IDEA??? SO MUCH?? I’m extremely anaemic and I also bruise very easily, I know my condition might not be the same as yours but I think this is a really interesting idea oml. Also I don’t write romantically for BEN so his section is altered just a bit, sorry for the inconvenience:(

Characters: Ticci Toby, Eyeless Jack, BEN Drowned, Jeff the Killer (I thought he’d suit this so I added him)

Ticci Toby

Toby himself has a long list of diagnoses so when you first tell him about your condition he’s like ‘omg we should make a club.’ Why? I don’t know but it’s cute of him.

However he quickly learns that his Tourette’s and your disorder are not a very good match, something he first learns when you pounce on him for a hug and his motor tics makes him slap your arm and you’re like ‘:( owie’ and a massive bruise ends up forming.

Ever since then he’s very cautious when he touches you as he is very aware of how destructive some of his motor tics can be, and you’re like ‘no it’s ok, it’s not your fault :(‘ but the poor guy will still feel awful.

In the end you’re not gonna leave him because of something he has no control over and he’s not gonna let his Tourette’s stop you from loving each other. He tries to suppress them as much as possible but you just know how uncomfortable he will be when he stops so you try your best to stop him doing that. Sometimes he can feel his tics coming so he will tell you to make a bit of distance from him, which you’ve decided is the best way to keep the both of you safe.

BEN Drowned

BEN is a trickster at heart, and when he hears that there’s someone around who shouldn’t be pranked because of how fragile they are he’s like ‘yeah sure whatever’ and just brushes it off.

HOWEVER when he tries to spook you this one time in your room by pulling some poltergeist shit and throwing stuff around and you get really hurt when he lobbed a teddy bear at you a bit too hard he’s like 👁️👄👁️

Although he adores the look of anger and shock whenever he pranks someone, something about actually causing you damage just makes him so uncomfortable. He will leave you alone for a bit, and when you ask him why he’s like ‘yeah you’re no fun to mess with >:(‘ which is a total lie he just doesn’t want to hurt you.

From now on he looks out for you to makes sure you don’t end up hurting yourself somehow, and if you point this out to him he’ll play dumb and pretend like he had no clue what you’re talking about.

Eyeless Jack

Part of Jack already knows about your disorder and wants to learn more about it with you helping him out; he has a passion for medicine and biology so he’ll try his best to chemically reduce the chances of you breaking bones or injuring yourself.

The other part of him is inhabited by a demon that is very stronk and could kill a man without breaking a sweat. This means that any affection of any kind makes him very on edge, and when one wants to cuddle and relax one should not be on edge.

So when you pull him into his room and make him flop on his bed cuz you feel like hugging him he’s like 🧍‍♂️cuz you can squeeze him as hard as you want (‘actually maybe not too hard, Y/N if you strain your arms too much you might pull something out of place - can you loosen your grip a bit please?’) and he won’t break, but there’s no way in hell he’s gonna bear hug you anytime soon.

Also have you seen his nails?? The guys got straight up talons on his fingers and what if he accidentally brushes your arm or something? Nope, he has to wear gloves. Big oven gloves. He doesn’t care if they’re awkward to wear, your safety is his priority.

Jeff the Killer

Pfffff lmao you’re weak.

This dickhead finds it HILARIOUS, he will make fun of you all the time, being like ‘oop be careful walking down the stairs, grandma, you might get a splinter’ or something dumb like that.

Absolutely zero remorse.

And then you get into a relationship with him (god knows how) and he has a sudden moment of realisation of how serious your condition is, which is very sobering.

He will totally threaten anyone if they’re holding anything he deems as heavy to not come near you, and if you pass someone in a corridor he’ll stand between you and them in case they try anything.

Turns into one of those protective mothers who puts nappies and duct tape on all sharp corners in the house, and if you point it out to him he’ll be like

‘Umm.. no?? That’s for me, I don’t give a shit about you bumping into things.’

He’s a liar.

do you like THIEVES? are you a hardcore Leverage fan? somebody who watches Ocean's 11 - or Ocean's 8 - and think 'wish that were me'? do you want to eat Neal Caffrey up with a spoon? do you think the British Museum should give back all their stolen art?

boy, do I have the book for you!

PORTRAIT OF A THIEF by GRACE D. LI

This was how things began: Boston on the cusp of fall, the Sackler Museum robbed of 23 pieces of priceless Chinese art. Even in this back room, dust catching the slant of golden, late-afternoon light, Will could hear the sirens. They sounded like a promise.

Will Chen, a Chinese American art history student at Harvard, has spent most of his life learning about the West - its art, its culture, all that it has taken and called its own. He believes art belongs with its creators, so when a Chinese corporation offers him a (highly illegal) chance to reclaim five priceless sculptures, it's surprisingly easy to say yes.

Will's crew, fellow students chosen out of his boundless optimism for their skills and loyalty, aren't exactly experienced criminals. Irene is a public policy major at Duke who can talk her way out of anything; Daniel is pre-med with steady hands and dreams of being a surgeon. Lily is an engineering student who races cars in her spare time; and Will is relying on Alex, an MIT dropout turned software engineer, to hack her way in and out of each museum they must rob.

Each student has their own complicated relationship with China and the identities they've cultivated as Chinese Americans, but one thing soon becomes certain: they won't say no.

Because if they succeed? They earn an unfathomable ten million each, and a chance to make history. If they fail, they lose everything...and the West wins again.

WHAT YOU GET

pretentious af college students (mostly Will) who think they can get whatever they want (mostly Irene (but also Will))

STREET RACES. do you like Fast & Furious? good

complicated feelings about everything but especially, like, lesbians having complicated feelings about other lesbians who then fall in love (Irene and Alex)

FOUND FAMILY. the real treasure is the friendships we made along the way, and like, maybe also the relationships we repaired along the way

healing through stealing (Daniel (and Lily (and Alex (and Daniel's dad and Will and Irene and—))))

ART

discussions of identity, colonialism (and colonised art), art repatriation, the immigrant experience, class,

THEFT. so much theft. THIEVES BEING THIEVES.

immovable object ("girls have broken themselves trying to change him"!boy by which I mean Will because of course it's Will) meets unstoppable force (Lily)

did I say healing? I think I meant stealing. no healing. no stealing. no—

anyway everyone should read this book

I wrote a thing. I don't really know what this is honestly. Kind of angst I guess? Mostly just spewing words and rambles and projecting onto Mountain.

Mountain

Strong, steadfast. Stoic and immovable like stone and the roots of Sequoia trees. The immovable object that meets the unstoppable force.

The solid foundation of the pack. The protector and the provider. Dependable, ever-present Mountain.

Every morning he rises to a full day of back breaking work. Overseeing the other abbey earth ghouls, tending the gardens and the orchards that supply the kitchens and feed the abbey. Tending the beehives and listening to the bees as they tell him what areas of the grounds require more of his love and attention.

As the seasons change Mountain is there; pruning trees, cutting and carrying firewood for the abbeys MANY fireplaces, harvesting and helping preserve the fruits of his labors for the winter.

Mountain wills his medicinal garden to grow, and spends painstaking hours harvesting, drying, and preserving herbs for the infirmary.

Mountain does all of this and more with a humble air and a gratitude for the happiness, health, and safety of his pack and church.

Never faltering, never complaining.

When a member of his pack is in need, he is there. When Dew wakes from a nightmare Mountain is there with a hug and a soothing backrub, watching over his beloved mate as he sleeps; a protector and guardian angel over the ghoul he cherishes most dear. When Rain runs out of herbs and salts to put in his baths, a jar appears on his bathroom counter with a waterlily cutting next to it. When Aether and Cumulus run out of their special tea blends that they love to start their mornings with, they find new sachets in their individual cupboards with a small note saying that they are loved. Mountain is there, in the apothecary section of his greenhouse creating the comforts that each of his beloved ghouls and ghoulettes cherish so much.

He proudly shoulders the responsibility of being the backbone of the pack and of the band. The steady, ever-pounding heartbeat that carries Papa's music and his Lord in Hell's message to those that need to hear it.

When Papa calls, when siblings and ghouls alike seek him out for help in whatever task they have he simply nods his head, smiles, and goes to work.

From the sibling who cannot reach a book on the high shelves in the library, to the kit on the ground with a scraped knee and tears in its eyes, to Imperator herself.

Faithful, caring, devoted Mountain.

But they don't see.

They don't see the strain in Mountain's broad shoulders; the burden of responsibility thrust upon them. They don't see him breathless and fatigued, wiping sweat and loose tendrils of soft chestnut hair away from his face as he shoulders his load of fruit tree branches, of firewood, or fresh produce and grains under the baking sun. They don't see him slowly make his way down the stairs from the ghouls' den in the morning, the ache in his joints and back present from yesterday's work. They don't see him wince at night as he lowers himself to his bed to remove his boots after a long day of taking care of his family, fingers gingerly gripping the laces as he tries to avoid touching the blisters on his hands. They don't see the empty jar of soothing, anti-inflammatory herbs because he gave the last of his prepared supply to someone more in need than he.

Mountain doesn't let them see.

Mountain takes pride in the happiness of his family and his papa. He quietly revels in the beauty of the grounds he is charged with caring for, with the gardens and the orchards that provide for the most important beings in his life.

Breaking himself down every night and building himself back up every morning.

All for them.

But for them, Mountain can always carry more.

Is it selfish to take pleasure in watching his family and his Abbey enjoy the fruits of his labors? Perhaps, but it's okay.

For his pack, his Papa, his family, Mountain would fight God and the archangels. They are his. And he is theirs.

Protector, provider, and guardian.
