#we’re just really close!

[lilyharvord]

It’s all: “you could have been my red queen” this and “thief/obviously” that, but WHEN are we going to talk about: “I thought of you in the end, I saw your face in the water.”????? HMMM?! When? When are we going to talk about this?

#red queen #glass sword #kings cage #war storm #marecal #are we really going ignore the most romantic declaration of love ever made by a stupid YA male?? #are we just going to ignore the implications?! #this was the moment I KNEW marecal was end game #no other YA male could ever #like ever come close to this line #my jaw DROPPED #I was even more in love with him #and I’m convince it was the reason mare said eh fuck it and stayed that night #we’re just all going to keep on ignore this line and I hate that #like who do you know in YA that has so casually thrown out the more gut wrenching love declaration?!? #none of them #so get off my bois ass #he was 22 and in LOVE #cal calore #mare barrow

tbh “people hear about legitimate dream fuckups and it colors their worldview to exaggerate and misconstrue harm in everything he does” is just the opposite side of the coin to “fans hear about dream being legitimately fucked over and treated badly and it raises their defenses to react to every perceived slight like a personal betrayal” literally nobody is capable of being normal about that man

#bella talks #while the former is worse on twitter i think the latter is worse here #because we’re so close knit and self contained so one person getting (maybe reasonably) upset about something #can spiral into the whole dash dooming #and i’m not saying it’s never warranted— while the q hate spiraled a little out of control i think it was mostly proportional #but then we also get things like karl dropping the panel #(in fairness from what *i* saw it wasn’t as bad as how i see people acting but maybe my dash is just well curated #and i have a higher tolerance for d.tblr shenanigans than most people i think) #like i really don’t mind if people get a little rowdy LMAO it doesn’t bother me but it does make the overall environment more toxic

the fact that doctors can just Recommend Weight Loss with no instructions beyond ‘eat healthier/less’ is actually insane to me, i lost weight on purpose ONCE and it took me like 6 years to recover a semi-normal relationship with food and hunger

#uhh #disordered eating cw #just in case #mumbling #like jfc i know i’m not the first to say it and my experience is relatively SO tame #but it STILL fucked with my head for YEARS #and most people don’t go nearly that long between weight loss attempts at all for basically their whole lives!!!!! #and we’re so blasé about it like yeah just eat less to lose weight #and so few people talk about the really weird shit that phase of my life taught me even though they seem like pretty universal things #like when you lose weight deliberately by denying yourself food you get COLD #you get cold and you get in your head and you get sad it’s like being less alive #the times i’ve lost weight/recomped on accident (by doing smth that makes me move more‚ getting better sleep etc) #it’s been WARM #burn hotter move freer feel happier #and also the way hunger feels when you’ve been denying yourself food for an extended time is NOT the same as baseline hunger #it’s actually kind of wild that we use the same word to describe both feelings like that shit is NOT the same #that shit is not ‘being really hungry’ it’s a fuckin. blood curse or some shit you feel straight up unhinged #and i should disclaim here i am not talking large amounts of weight #i’ve fluctuated over i think a 20lb range max since reaching close to my adult height and that’s a guesstimate #but even in my relatively unremarkable little experiences here the way deliberate weight loss fucked with my brain is absurd to me #i’m fine now have been for years but seriously thinking back on it the fact that this is routine medical advice. unreal

Things that have happened recently

#all in the past 2 weeks or so?! #just to recap #since we’re all thinking it lol #gotta love that nothing was going on for like 2 months #while t was really going through it filming a reality reno show #and now that it’s over and she has time to spend with k again #this is what happens #almost like that means something… #staring into the camera like I’m on the office #just they seem to be really close business partners! #t&k

tbh when mitski said “you’re my best friend/now i’ve no one to tell/how i lost my best friend”

#my freshman year of college my best friend and I were both a wreck #and on opposite sides of the country #during winter break I made the decision to share certain information with their parents bc I was actively concerned for their safety #they were deeply upset about me betraying their trust like that and asked for a break in our friendship #(a few months later (which happened to be early March 2020. lol) they did shrooms and realized they wanted to talk to me again lmao) #(so we talked and cried and now we’re still best friends almost 4 years later) #and my birthday is in january so it fell right in the middle of the period we weren’t talking #and my friends at school actually put together a really lovely party and it remains to this day the best bday party ive had #(most of my bdays have been sad and shitty lol) #but i just remember being drunk in my friends dorm room with my friends all around me #it was the end of the night people were just kinda chatting in little groups or whatever #and i was lying on my friends bed just miserable bc all I could think about was how my best friend was supposed to be there too #bc my parents were going to fly them out for the weekend as a present #and obviously that just got dropped #and id been talking to my friends about it kind of but all I wanted was my actual best friend #I left them a very embarrassing drunk voicemail that THANK GOD they deleted without listening to #but it’s just. the quiet agony of being angry and sad and hurt because your person doesn’t want to be ur person anymore #and still wanting to talk to them about it. still needing them to comfort you and give you their advice and insights #i don’t want to talk to anyone else about it. they’re not you. #sigh. anyway. ive actually lost several close friends for various reasons ranging from reasonable to bullshit #and it always blindsides me how much I want to talk to THEM about it #so thanks mitski for expressing that so artfully #op

do we reckon ashton is gonna drop a single this month like he said?? or is he gonna wait til after boy is out then come in with his music, like they’re taking turns in the 5sos spotlight?

#ngl I kinda think he’s gonna wait and support Luke rn #which means we’re probably gonna get ai2 while nostalgia boy tour is on the go #like. just because it’s mid march and we’ve heard nothing. no release date or single name #but can I say I’m DYING TO hear the whole song of hey! hey! don’t you hide all your pain #willing to bet my ticket to Luke’s show it’s about the boys and everything they’ve gone through and how ash always ends up caring for them #not really. but if I’m wrong then I’ll buy whoever disagrees with me a ticket to closing night #and let you find your own way to brisbane #ashton irwin #5sos #5 seconds of summer #ai2 #luke hemmings #nfattne tour #boy ep

is it weird that the bells hells party dynamic might be my favourite

#text #i feel like every pairing combination packs an emotional punch #and they were thrown together in this fated kind of way #but they became a family so quickly and so earnestly #yes it is absolutely so much fun when there are party secrets that take 60 eps to come out #but man there’s something i adore about the openness they have #i just really love this campaign #i do love conflict and tension but i think given the amount of external trauma in c3 #having them be all cagey and closed off might be too much #idk it feels very vox machina but like we’re actually getting the picture from beginning to end #whereas in c2 the inner party conflict and secrets were juicy and fit the overall theme of the campaign #tmn wouldn’t be tmn without most of the party having huge secrets that take 60-80 eps to come out lmao

[inkykeiji]

Wait can we do something special when we hit 100 episodes

cause today is going to be the 98th episode (if we count 68 p2 as it’s own episode) so idk I was just thinking.

#I’m just saying we’re close #I could probably do an art thing for it #But idk i don’t really want to do it alone then I look weird. #I think that’ll be on April 11th #Dndads 100th episode #dndads #dungeons and daddies #dndaddies

lyrics: all my mistakes are a work of art / love letters aimed straight for the heart / should i let them / teach me how to fall apart / it gets better when you get on top and show me how it works / i could never be your kind of flirt / tell me that you’re falling out of love / cause i could never be your kind of drug / love me til the morning cause it hurts to be the one that’s headed for the / curb your appetite and drink your tea with herbs / helps if you just believe it does / tell me all your secrets and i’ll leave you in the morning / help me fight my demons and i’ll love you without warning / sick of sitting pretty in my pearls / thinking i could ever be your girl / do you even notice when i’m gone? / the thought of you, it keeps me up til dawn / waiting, wishing, wanting for your love / but don’t think i could ever be enough / to satisfy your raging taste for blood / but maybe that’s just the way we love / tell me all your secrets and i’ll leave you in the morning / help me fight my demons and i’ll love you without warning / i’ve been waiting so long for someone like you to come / i thought i’d found the answer to all of my lonely nights / coming down, have i reached the ground?have i reached the ground? have i reached the ground?

i’m obsessed with this song rn listening to it on repeat so just thought i’d share

#help me fight my demons and i’ll love you without warning!!!! #(unfortunately discovering a pattern in my ex’s life where he just kind of. delves for people’s traumas as a default #and he’s like a normal fucking well adjusted person with a good childhood. so it’s not like we’re even reciprocally trauma bonding it’s like #he just fucking GETS THE STORIES out of people. stupid fucking journalism major) #(disclaimer i LOVE journalism majors!!!! it’s a really admirable pursuit. it just makes me uncomfortable how he sees people as. content??) #so not ALL journalism majors. just ones who get close with you learn all your secrets and then break up with you when they’re tired of it #ANYWAY MOVING ON i’m just obsessed with this song in general. the lyrics are iconic i love the beat and it’s what i want to make music like #and it’s so beautiful and i love it so much #me. my post. mine. #music

[obstinaterixatrix]

ex-coworker was like ‘I don’t know what that intern was talking about when she said you came across as cold, I’ve always felt like you have a warm personality’ & I was like. well you’ve never seen me when I was pissed off lol

#my ramblings #saying this with full self-awareness: I can be a pretty cold & vindictive bastard #it just never shows up with her because 1) we’re not close enough where she’d see me at that kind of angry #2) her disposition is very… fuwafuwa… she’s really tall but I always forget because she never feels like she’s looking down on me #whereas I say outright ‘I like wearing heels so I can look down on people’ lol #plus she likes asking for my input on stuff so I feel heard a lot when I’m with her #and I tend to get prickly when I feel like what I say Just Doesn’t Matter #replace me with a mirror so you can talk to yourself. it’s clearly what you’re doing. #But The Intern Is With A Supervisor Who Is Much Better Suited To Her

“I suppose the story was that [John and I] were pretty close in the beginning when we were writing stuff together. We felt alot of sympathy for each other, although on a personal level, based on a lot of stuff that went down later, I obviously wasn’t that close to him. To me, he was a fella, and you don’t get that close to fellas. I felt very close to him, but from alot of what he said later, obviously, I was missing in the picture. But anyway, I felt very close to him then and when the Beatles started to feel the strain towards the last couple of years, it was getting to be a bit of a strain and we were drifting more apart. I think the kind of anchor that had held us together was still there.”

— Paul McCartney, Music Express, 1982

#my quotes #what a fucking MESS #he literally goes #yes we were close #but I guess based on the beatles breakup we weren’t actually close #well that’s just normal cause we’re fellas #but I actually did feel really close to him #but I guess it was all a lie based on what he said later #but I still felt very close to him #but we broke up #but we were still together #like holy FUCK the back and forth and internal contradiction here is INSANE #it’s almost as bad as that April 1970 rolling stone interview #where he literally says that he and john used to call each other and they never called each other in the same breath #anyways though #sometimes I actually doubt paul and john were that close and I think that paul has just been convincing himself otherwise since 1989ish #but quotes like this actually convince me otherwise #where paul 100% believed they were close but the breakup shattered this belief #and since he never understood why john left #he feels he has to retroactively conclude they weren’t close #but that’s a retroactive assessment #ANYWAY #the best paul interviews are from 1970-1971/1981-1984/1998-2001 #cause for some reason when something traumatic happens something switches in his brain and he forgets how to lie #this may be my favorite paul interview btw #paul mccartney #john lennon #the beatles #beatles

[compacflt]

i'm so curious: what's your favorite thing you've written? something that makes you nod and go, "yeah, that's it right there. i did that." just the best combination of words you've ever churned out in your personal opinion. it makes you proud just Thinking about it. could be a sentence, a paragraph, etc.

very cute ask anon, thank you. im going to assume for your benefit that you mean specifically my icemav writing—obviously I write outside of top gun and am very proud of that stuff but it wouldn’t make sense out of context.

There’s a lot of more recent stuff that I’m extremely extremely proud of on a technical level, but I’m prouder of this paragraph below on a deeper more existential level.

This paragraph was one of the first parts of WWGATTAI i ever wrote—august 12, i think, well before I had fully realized the characters’ voices or their attitudes towards life/each other; I only had about 5k written of what is now a 300k+ project (at the time of writing this paragraph i wanted it to be 10k max) and had no real outline, didn’t know who or what I was dealing with, hadnt seen TGM in two months, had done no research (so it’s not at all politically/militarily accurate or anything, why the FUCK is ice going to fucking GUAM)—and STILL this wound up being my favorite paragraph in the entire fucking series. not to suck my own dick or anything. I’m STILL so proud of this paragraph, 9 months and 275k+ words later, even though i Absolutely Would Not write it this way now.

#narrative distance both incredibly close and incredibly far #he’s trying to rationalize this whole situation and by extent the whole plot of his life #we’re inside his head as he tries to convince both Pete and himself of this huge huge lie #which is that leaving (right after he fucked their relationship and their best friend just died) is worth it for the navy’s sake #and it will make him a good man #in the masculine strong man leadership sense #and Pete (first name instead of last name; über vulnerable in the worst way because he’s crying yet doesn’t want to be seen crying) #counters all of this lie with—does it? does it really mean you’re a good man? it means you’re the weakest most subservient man i know #bending over backwards for the navy instead of your FAMILY #yeah i would absolutely not write this paragraph this way NOW but i am still so proud of what it represents in the story #& the very experimental 2nd person without quotation marks is i think done very well #at least for august 2022 me #some wording/phrasing/detail issues but other than that—a great paragraph! #again not to suck my own dick but you asked! #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #top gun #top gun maverick #top gun fanfiction #edts notes #asks #this is a terrible chapter in aggregate but it has some of the best diamond-in-the-rough moments in the whole series #ughhh the Pete this has nothing to do with Afghanistan; pete this has nothing to do with iraq etc line…. SOO good omg i love it sorry
