Alright I'm sick of the vagueposting because apparently some of you can't talk about how they really feel to people. You know, like adults.

First point. If you actually think I purposely plagiarised a fic idea, honestly just block me and fuck off so I never have to see you again. I've put far too much mental and emotional energy into this fandom to be disrespected like that, especially to then have my character attacked in such a ironically sly way on a public forum. Coming from people who have previously admonished others for vagueposting, that's pretty fucking hypocritical. I don't care enough to try to fix any sort of relationship I had with the person, since they made it pretty clear what they thought of me.

I'm a generally good person and I'm not going to let some random on the internet tell me otherwise.

In the interest of clearing up the plagiarism allegation whatever the fuck that's about, I'll say that I've never actually read the so-called plagiarised fic, and barely interacted with any public posts about it's conception. I actually do not want to, especially since I have many, many ideas and headcanons for Azkaban and HP/HL in general having been a Wizarding World fan for literally most of my life and that's what I'm interested in writing about. I don't tend to crowdsource my ideas and rarely post about what I'm writing about. As far as I can tell the only crossover is Azkaban and a degree of angst, and if that's actually it then you need to re-evaluate why the hell you're even in a fandom.

Amazingly since we're drawing on common source material there will no doubt be overlap. I'm also not going to wait months for the other fic to be finished because...why? It's not a fucking competition. If you must know, mine was loosely based on an idea I had for Garrinis which also involved Azkaban and a dark MC, which I had last Summer.

There's been so much drama in this fandom lately it's quite honestly ridiculous, and nobody seems to be able to talk to anyone else without public bashing. If you don't like what someone else is doing or saying, shutup and move on or talk to them. An incredible concept, I know. I had a disagreement a couple of weeks ago, I talked to the person, and we're totally fine and she's one of my favourite people in this fandom.

I'm aware this post might just crash and burn my reputation as much as the bullshit allegations but you know what I do not care anymore. Yes I'm aware that I'm not exactly helping with this post but my god I'm just angry and some things just need saying. I don't make a habit of doing stuff like this and am generally quite nonconfrontational.

Sometimes I do wonder why I'm still here and have concluded that it's probably a sunk cost fallacy, yet I'm here because I'm stubborn and despite all this shit I still love the characters enough to want to tell stories about them. Writing brings (brought) me a lot of joy, and I've finally decided to try doing it 'properly' but my god this toxicity needs to stop because this is exactly what stifles creativity, drives people away and kills fandoms.

#ok bye

Interview

Shannon: So let me get things straight...

Shannon: You graduated from Tastyville High around five years ago, correct?

Mindy: Oh my gosh, that was five years ago already? Geez, that means I'm already getting old. I don’t have any white hairs, do I?

Shannon: Uhh...no? I don't think so. But that's not really important. I just need to ask you a few simple questions about your high school. It won't take longer than a few minutes.

Mindy: Oh, totally! I can give you aaaaalll the juicy gossip. I was friends with, like, everyone so I know everyone's dirty secrets! Don't tell anyone I told you any of this, though. Soooo...what do you wanna hear. Crushes? Breakups? HEARTBREAK??

Shannon: Well, we don't really write about gossip at Nowtime News, but uh...thank you for the offer?

Shannon: All I need you to do is look through this year book photo and name all the people you see, alright?

Mindy: Oh. My. Gosh! This brings back so many old memories!

Mindy: I remember this like it was yesterday! There’s actually a whole story behind this photo, y’know?

Mindy: So basically Sue and Timm were having this huge fight because Timm is so nonconfrontational and a pussy about everything and it was kinda like creating this huge rift in the friend group and then people were taking sides and stuff like Cecilia thought Sue was being too harsh on Timm but then Indigo totally agreed with Sue but then Mary thought Sue was being too harsh but she didn't really wanna say anything cause she had this massive obvious crush on her at the time and-

Shannon: MINDY!! Like I said, I don't write about gossip! I just need to know if you know them or not!!

Mindy: Ok geeeeez, sorry!!

Mindy: Yeah, so like, that's me, that's Indigo, Timm, Cecilia, Sue, Mary, James, Connor, and...

Mindy: Uh...

Shannon: What? What is it?

Mindy: That's...uhhhmmm...uh. Gosh, I know everyone, how come I don't remember this guy's name?

Mindy: Wait, wait, don't tell me, it's on the tip of my tongue! Ok...that's....Wesley? No. William? It starts with a w, right? Am I close?

Shannon: ...Not even remotely

Mindy: No wait I totally got this! It was an f name, right? Ferdinand? Francisco? Wait...was it Finley? Yes, that's totally it, isn't it? He looks like a Finley!

Shannon: Mindy, do you know the guy or are you just guessing random names??

Mindy: Sigh...ok. I don't know him. I think I vaguely remember seeing him around, but...that's it.

Shannon: Are you sure? Is there really no information you can give me about him?

Mindy: Well...I guess there is one thing...

Mindy: I never spoke to him, but whenever I switched classes, we'd pass each other occasionally on the way to seventh period

Mindy: And sometimes, I'd look back at him. And he'd look back at me.

Mindy: He had this creepy vacant stare. Like he wasn't really there at all.

Mindy: Or maybe his glasses were just really fogged up, or something.

Mindy: But uh, apart from that, nothing else really comes to mind. Sorry!

Shannon: ...Hm. Interesting.

Shannon: Well, alright. I think that's all I needed to know. Thank you, Mindy.

Mindy: Awww, you have to go already? But I didn't even get to tell you about the time that Sue broke a guy's nose because he looked at Mary weird! Or the time that-

Shannon: Oh wow! Look at the time! So much important reporter stuff I have to do. Which is very urgent and needs to be taken care of immediately. Okbyethanks.

Just as I suspected...no friends, no connections, nothing. It lines up with the testimonies of everyone else I interviewed, but that's what makes it all the more puzzling. Why do all of the personal anecdotes of his life completely contradict all the evidence I've come across? If he's lying about certain aspects of his past, is it possible that he's lying about more things as well? And most importantly, what is he getting out of this? Are these simple white lies, or do they conceal a more sinister truth that he doesn't want me to uncover?

Whoever you are "Moe"...I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

Can I ask for fo4 companions react to a normally nonconfrontational sole give the most bone chilling disturbing threat to someone who just insulted the companion?

I let people walk all over me but if someone hurt my friends I would have no problem going to prison

I am also exactly like this! So this was really fun to write. Thanks for the ask I enjoyed it.

Sole when threatened: Scared baby

Sole when companion is threatened: ANGRY MODE

Warning: Language, swearing, threats, threats of violence/death. Also it's a long post so I put it under a read more.

Cait: She had never known someone as sweet and kind hearted as Sole. Cait never thought someone like that could care about her, yet here Sole was being Cait’s best friend. Cait treasured Sole’s friendship because she had never been treated so kindly before. Sole treats Cait like a good person and it makes Cait feel special. Cait would absolutely kill anyone who tried to hurt Sole. She never expected Sole to do the same but she was fine with that. The pair were travelling through and particularly rough area and Cait was being cautious, she didn’t want any harm to come to Sole. They passed by a group of raiders, one of them yelling out to the pair.

“Hey, why not come play with the big boys. I bet we would be a lot more fun than that whore.” The raider laughed. Cait was used to the words; she had been called worse. She expected to just walk past, but Sole stopped and stamped over to the raider.

“How dare you call her that. Say something like that again and I’ll rip your tongue out and make you eat it.” Sole snarled. The raider’s smile dropped. He nodded shamefully, turning his head away from Sole. Sole then turned back to Cait with a smile and spoke in a sweet voice. “Shall we go?”

Cait stared dumbfounded at Sole; her jaw wide open. She didn’t think it was possible but Sole just officially became the greatest person in existence. She never expected Sole to stand up for her. But having Sole threaten a raider for her, it made Cait so incredibly happy. They now treasured their friendship even more. Cait then began to laugh, wrapping an arm around Sole and taking them away.

“You are amazing. Let’s go get a drink to celebrate our friendship and how amazing you are.”

Curie: She knew there were some people in the world who did not like robots or synths. She understood their reservations but she always tried to ease their fear and discomfort by showing them she is friendly and meant no harm. Sometimes this would bring people around to like her, but others just hated her more. She never let this deject her. Curie would continue to be her pleasant self no matter what. She appreciated Sole because they were the same as her. They were always so kind to everyone, even the meaner people. Sole would always try to calm situations, never wanting to fight and Curie thought this was very mature of Sole. Though Curie did feel bad if this meant Sole got injured because someone wanted to fight when Sole didn’t want to. Curie told Sole that it was ok to fight if it meant protecting themselves. But Sole would just brush it off.

In an attempt to ease people into liking synths Curie tried to act as a medic in settlements. She would bring a smile and a first aid kit and help any of the residents that were injured, many of them were often grateful. One particular settlement Curie found a farmer who had injured his hands in his farming equipment. She knelt beside the man.

“May I take a look monsieur? I’m sure I can get it patched up.” Curie smiled sweetly.

“Get away from me synth, I don’t want your stinking help. I’d rather lose the hand than let you touch me.” The man snapped. Curie felt disheartened but knew she shouldn’t take it too personally. Sole grabbed the farmers hand, squeezing the injured area and making the man yell in pain. They then pulled out a large knife from their side.

“I can arrange that. Let me cut it off for you.” Sole grinned mischievously, about to swing the knife.

“No please. Don’t” The man begged.

“Then let Curie help you, and I swear if you make any nasty comments about her, I’ll start chopping all your body pieces off until there’s nothing left.” Sole dropped the man’s arm after he agreed. He gave his arm to Curie and allowed her to patch him up. Curie could not help but smile. She didn’t think the threats were necessary, the man was already injured and scared. However, she thankful that Sole stood up for her. It felt nice to have someone on her side who trusted her skills and kindness even though she was a synth. Sole saw Curie as just a normal person, and that is what Curie liked most about Sole.

“You did not have to do that.” Curie said, she wanted to scold Sole for being too harsh, but she couldn’t. Sole was protecting Curie, and Curie could not scold Sole for that.

“I know, but I wanted to.” Sole shrugged. Curie was glad that Sole felt so strongly about Curie that they would threaten anyone for her. It made Curie feel special, even if threatening was not the best way to do things. She would not say anything for now, as Curie was happy to have a friend like Sole. But Curie would say something if the threats became too much of a bad habit.

Codsworth: He’s the type to worry more about what others think about him than the other synths or robotics. Codsworth was made to please his masters and make a comfortable living environment. If someone dislikes him for some reason, he feels as though he has failed in his job. So, often even if he shouldn’t, he feels bad when other members of the commonwealth are rude to him. When Sole came back, he felt so much better because his actual master/mistress had returned. Now as long as Sole was happy Codsworth did not worry about what other people said, he only needed to know that Sole thought he was doing a good job.

Codsworth liked to help around the settlement Sole had built, it made him feel useful. Sole never asked for his help, wanting to give him a break. But Codsworth would do work because he enjoyed it and it helped Sole. Sometimes he would help the other settlement members but they were not his priority. One particular day Sole actually did ask Codsworth to do something, and he was going to put all of his time and energy on making the task perfect.

“Hey bot, you need to do this for me.” A resident demanded, wanting Codsworth to do the work for them.

“My apologies but I’m a little busy at the moment, perhaps I can assist you later.”

“You better do it now, you useless piece of trash.” Then man then threw a can at Codsworth, the drink bouncing off his head and making his hat fall off. Sole appeared, as if the sound had summoned them. Sole picked up the can and threw it, hitting the resident square in the face.

“Apologize to Codsworth, then get out of our sight before I force that can down your throat.”

“I-I’m sorry.” The resident stammered, holding his nose.

“Now get out of here.” Sole snapped. The resident hastily moved away. “Are you alright Codsworth?” Sole asked picking up his hat and placing it carefully back onto his head.

“Quite alright, you did not have to defend me, I should have assisted the man.”

“No Codsworth. Don’t you ever help that man. You are a good Mr Handy, but an even better friend and I’m not going to let anyone treat you like less than a person. Understand?”

“But-”

“No buts. You deserve to be treated with respect and nothing less. If someone bothers you, tell me and I’ll deal with them.”

Sole had always treated Codsworth like a member of the family. But hearing them now, talking about him being a good friend and how he should be treated with respect. It felt like Sole was treating him like a real person. And it made him emotional. He really treasured Sole, and having them in his life made him the happiest he could ever be.

“Thank you, Sir/Mum.”

Dogmeat: Dogmeat was cautious of people, since there were a lot out there that wanted to hurt him. But he did try to give some people a chance. He gave Sole a chance and it was the best choice, Sole quickly became Dogmeats best friend and he’d do anything to protect them. The pair traveled to a settlement, and while Sole was talking Dogmeat had a sniff around. He came to a particular person who smelled like food. Dogmeat sniffed at the man’s feet.

“Get away from me mutt.” The man snapped kicking Dogmeat away. Dogmeat yelped, then started to snarl. Sole stormed over, grabbing the man’s leg and pulling it hard so the man fell onto his back. Sole held the man’s leg and stared into his eyes.

“You kick him again and I’m going to cut your legs off. Understand?” Sole snarled.

“Yes.” Sole then threw the man’s leg down and patted Dogmeat.

“Good boy.” Sole pet him more before leading Dogmeat away. Dogmeat did not like the interaction with the man, but he liked Sole’s pets and was happy to be leaving with them.

Deacon: He knew there were some people out there that didn’t like him. But he could not care less. He never worried about what anyone thought of him and just lived his life the way he wanted. When Sole entered his life, it was nice to have someone that viewed him so positively, he appreciated their friendship. Sole tended to get pushed over by other people, but Deacon was more than happy to be the one to stand up for Sole and be there to protect them. He didn’t need Sole being the tough guy. As long as Sole treated Deacon well, and was Deacon’s friend then he would be the one to stand up against the assholes.

The pair wondered through Goodneighbor, wanting to rest and get a drink. Inside The Third Rail, was a loud rowdy bunch of raiders getting drunk. Deacon knew right away they would be a problem, but he was prepared to defend Sole’s honor at the drop of a hat. He began trying to think of threats that might get them off their backs incase they wanted a fight.

“Hey you.” One raider called out to Sole. Deacon prepared himself, ready to protect Sole. “What are you doing with that coward huh? Guy’s too scared of the world to even keep the same face. Why not come hang out with some real men?”

Of course, the raiders were being cruel to Deacon. He sighed, and laughed it off since he didn’t care what they had to say. He thought Sole would just awkwardly laugh along with him. He was surprised when Sole marched right over to the raider who spoke. Sole gripped the man’s ear tightly pulling it up almost tearing it off.

“Deacon’s more of a man than you ever will be. And if you say something like that again then I’m going to cut off your junk and throw it to the ghouls, we’ll see how much of a man you are without it.” Sole then released the ear and walked away. The raider and his men quickly scurrying off.

Sole sat at the bar beside Deacon, ordering drinks for the both of them. Deacon sat in silence for a moment, stunned. He had never seen or heard Sole act like that, for a second he thought they may have been possessed.

“You’re terrifying. I promise to never get on your bad side.” Deacon laughed, though with a hint of seriousness. He was grateful that Sole stood up for him, but now he was starting to worry what Sole would do to him on the off chance he ever upset him.

“Don’t worry Deacon, you’re my good friend and I would never hurt you.” Sole smiled cheerfully.

“Good to know.” He was a little disturbed by how quickly they turned on then off the threatening mode. But he tried to push it aside and just enjoy the time with his friend. He was glad to know that Sole has his back.

Danse: If someone made a nasty comment to Danse he would always defend himself. Or if someone picked a fight with him, he would always fight back and win. This way the way to survive in this cruel world and what he was used to. Danse liked Sole and he thought of them as a good fighter, but he was very disappointed by the fact that Sole would never stand up for themselves. If someone spoke rudely to them, Sole would take it and allow the nasty comments. Often Danse would be the one to stand up for Sole, it bothered him because he felt as though Sole should be braver and not take the comments. He thought it made Sole soft. Yet they would always get the job done and they could hold their own in a fight so he let it go. He’d never been in a situation where someone insulted Danse around Sole, but he expected Sole would do nothing and that was something he could live with.

Sole and Danse were walking through the commonwealth minding their own business when they walked past a group of minutemen.

“Get out of here brotherhood, we don’t need scum like you around here.” One of the members spat. Danse was about to make a similar comment, but Sole spoke up before he could. Sole pulled out their pistol and shot right next to the members head hitting a wall behind them.

“You say something like that again and the next shot won’t miss.”

“What the hell is wrong with you?” The member complained.

“What’s wrong with you asshole? We are just walking past you doing nothing and you just have to be a dick, what is that about? Keep your thoughts to yourself or do you want me to sew your mouth shut?” Sole snapped.

The minuteman was silent, just staring at Sole.

“That’s what I thought. Come on Danse, these idiots are bringing my mood down.” Sole walked away with Danse in tow.

Danse was in complete shock, he never thought Sole could say something like that. It took him a few minutes to really comprehend the situation, but afterwards he just smiled.

“You alright?” Sole asked.

“I’m great.” Danse was proud of Sole for finally standing up for someone. He was no longer worried about Sole being soft, he could see now that they were more than capable of handling themselves and their friends. He was also tempted to set up a test to see if this was a one-time thing or if Sole would continue to threaten people if they bothered Danse.

Hancock: Sole accepted a job that took the pair of them into a vault. Hancock generally liked to stay away from vault dwellers because they had a less than friendly view on ghouls. But he wasn’t going to leave Sole to go in alone. Sole was a sweetheart, and he hated the idea that someone inside the vault might try to take advantage of Sole’s good nature. The dirty looks happened immediately, but Hancock was used to it. Sole finished the quest and they were on their way out. Hancock was thinking they might get out with just a few looks. But he was wrong.

“Thank God that thing is leaving. It was starting to make the place smell.” Hancock was trying to think of a snarky line to snap back, but he didn’t have time. Sole spun around glaring at the man who said it.

“I think you’ve got a nose problem, maybe I should break it and fix it for you. In fact, why don’t I ‘fix’ the rest of your face for you.” Sole then cracked their knuckles taking a step towards the man.

“Get away from me.” The man complained, turning and hastily running away.

“Run back to your mummy so she can teach you some manners.” Sole then turned back to Hancock and in a calm voice spoke. “Let’s get out of this hellhole.” Hancock was stunned. He never expected his little cinnamon roll sweetheart had such a threatening side. He loved it, and it made him respect Sole even more.

“Yeah, let’s get out of this dump sunshine.” He smiled. “You know if you want to come back and teach him a lesson, I’ll hold him down while you take the hits.” Hancock laughed. Sole laughed with him.

“I don’t want to get you in trouble Hancock.”

“I’d die for you I hope you know that.” Hancock threw it out so casually.

“And I’d kill for you. Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure a death claw might be finding its way into his room later.” Hancock liked that. He liked that a lot. He’s going to take Sole home and give them a number of gifts in gratitude for being such an unbelievably amazing person.

MacCready: He’d had run ins with people who didn’t like him, including a group of bandits that Sole helped him take care of. MacCready knew no matter what he’d come across people that wouldn’t like him and he was fine with it. Not everyone loved each other it was just the way of the world. He just liked to do his own thing and not worry about other people. Sole was different. They cared what everyone thought and tried to please everyone. MacCready watched someone insult Sole for no reason, and Sole apologized to them. It infuriated him. He would constantly tell Sole to stand up for themselves and fight back, but Sole would explain it just wasn’t in their nature. MacCready often thought that Sole might not last long in the commonwealth, their good nature always getting taken advantage of. That’s why he swore to stick by them. Sole was good to him, so he would do everything in his power to keep them safe. If someone wanted to fight Sole, then MacCready would take the hit.

The pair were resting up in The Third Rail, getting a quick drink before heading out again. Three raiders came storming in and spotted the pair sitting at a table, they immediately headed over. Sole’s face grew worried for a second, hoping they wouldn’t get into a fight. MacCready was ready to throw hands if the raiders upset Sole.

“You little rat. You think you can walk through our turf? We should string you up and use you as target practice, it’s the only thing you’re good for.” The leader of the trio yelled at MacCready, roughly poking his chest. MacCready was about to say a cheesy joke when Sole stood from their chair and forcefully shoved the raider to the floor.

“Just you try it bitch. You lay one finger on him and bite it off. You try and hurt him and I’ll rip your arms off and shove them up your ass.” Sole panted heavily, rage seething off of them. With the raider on the floor Sole easily towered over them, Sole puffed out their chest showing off an intimidating stance.

“Yeah alright. I-I was just playing, but yeah, I won’t touch him.” The two other raiders helped the third off the floor and they all scurried away.

Sole sat back down and downed the rest of their drink. MacCready stared at them with disbelief. He never thought he would hear something like that come from Sole’s mouth. He tried to think of something clever to say, but nothing could come to mind.

“Sole.” He started. Sole looked up at him and just smiled.

“You okay friend?” Sole asked.

“I’m more than okay. I’m amazed. You are just amazing.” MacCready blurted out. Sole laughed. “I’m proud of you for standing up to them. Now you should do it when someone says stuff like that to you.”

“Nah, I’m not as important as you.”

“You are the most important person in the world dammit.” MacCready cursed then realized he did, but let it go. Because he meant what he said. Sole was so good to him already, and now they’ve shown that they would fight for him, just like he would for them. It made him happy; it made him speechless. It made him want to protect Sole even more, he didn’t deserve their friendship but somehow, he got it. And he was never going to let it go.

Piper: She had just finished her latest newspaper, and was canvasing Diamond city giving it to the residents. Sole decided to help and was following Piper around handing out the papers as Piper explained her latest discovery.

“See here, I’ve unveiled the truth of Diamonds cities dark-”

“Will you shut up bitch, no one cares.” Exclaimed an unpleasant resident. Piper was about to retort back, but Sole jumped in front of her.

“Your eyes seem to be defective, why don’t I pluck them out of their sockets maybe then you’ll see you’re just a rude ass dick.” The residents face flushed red. Sole poked their chest, making the resident step backwards. “You dare talk to Piper like that again and the next thing in her paper is your obituary.” The resident nodded then scurried away. Sole turned around and smiled at Piper.

“Where else should we put these?” Sole asked.

Piper was shocked. She never expected such threats to come from Sole’s mouth. She wasn’t quite sure it was real, maybe she was dreaming. Piper pinched herself, but no she was not dreaming, Sole really did say that.

“You continue to surprise me blue. I never new you had such a protective side to you.” She patted Sole’s back. “Come on, let’s head home and relax for a little while. I want to know exactly where you’ve been hiding this other side of you.” She always knew that Sole had her back, but now she really knew Sole would not let anything happen to Piper. And that made her feel so much safer.

Preston: Preston was a good hearted, kind natured person and always helped everyone he could. Other than raiders he had never come across someone that disliked him. And with raiders, it wasn’t personal it was just because they wanted his belongings. After meeting Sole he helped them build up a settlement, he took charge of it while Sole was gone and welcomed everyone that Sole sent his way. Finally, he met one person that disliked him. Sole brought a new member to the settlement introducing them to Preston, at first everything was fine and Preston got along well with the resident. However, it became quite clear that the resident had a crush on Sole. And when Sole spent more time with Preston than the resident, the resident grew angry. Preston tried to be pleasant to the resident, but it was clear they were jealous of and did not like Preston. He tried to just ignore it and do his job of protecting the settlement.

One particular day Sole came back after a few weeks and greeted Preston first. The resident witnessed it and their anger quickly became apparent.

“Why even bother with him? He’s pathetic, I could do a much better job at running this place Sole, we should just get rid of him.” The resident exclaimed. Preston was worried that Sole might not know what to do. Sole was the type of person to try and resolve struggles, but would get upset if caught in the crossfire of situations like this. Preston tried to say something, but paused when Sole raised their hand.

“Run.”

“What?”

“Run from this settlement and never come back, if you do, I’m going to bury your body where no one will ever find it.” Sole spoke with such a calm yet fierce tone, their face showing no emotion. The resident paused for a few seconds, but then realized Sole was serious, and quickly took off running.

“Wasn’t he your friend?” Preston asked.

“He’s not my friend. You are my friend Preston and if anyone bothers you, they can get lost.” Sole smiled sweetly at Preston. He felt a little bad for the resident, but he also felt happy that Sole would stand up for him, even if it meant kicking out other members of the community. He was grateful for all Sole was giving him, their friendship was something Preston treasured most of all. Sole was showing Preston they truly cared about him, more than other people and this made his heart swell. He was a little scared of Sole’s threat, wondering if they were truly capable of such a thing. But the sentiment of the threat was what he was going to focus on.

Valentine: Nick had come across many people who loudly voiced their dislike for him, and he had become quite good at making snide remarks right back at them. He even kept some of his best comebacks in a little book so he could laugh about it with his secretary. The remarks used to bother him when he was new, but after so many years he became accustomed to it and they tended to just slide right off. Other times he would just completely ignore the remarks and he was fine with that. After meeting Sole he was appreciative of how kind they were to him, they always praised him and gave him pleasant comments. It was a nice change to the negative ones and is what made Nick want to hang around Sole so much. That and the fact that Sole was just good company.

Sole had to take a trip into a vault because they heard a distressed call coming from one. Nick knew instantly that he was going to get commented on, but he was not going to let Sole go in alone. Sole was very kind, but occasionally a pushover. Nick wanted to be with Sole so he could give them back up incase a vault dweller became a little too hostile towards Sole. They had barely walked in the door when one of the vault residents spotted Nick.

“God what is that thing doing in here? Is it here to snatch me?” The resident complained. Nick had been thinking of comebacks before he entered so he quickly tried to pick the perfect one. However Sole jumped in before he could.

“Why would we want to snatch you? You’re nothing but a pathetic coward hiding in a vault. The only thing we’d want to use you for is to throw you to a deathclaw in order to save ourselves. You know what Nick let’s get out of here and maybe we’ll just seal the door shut on this asshole hopefully he’ll suffocate in here.” Sole spat and turned walking away and leaving the resident stunned. Nick gladly followed behind. He never knew Sole could say such a things, it was quite astonishing.

“You still manage to surprise me pal.” Valentine laughed. Sole laughed with him.

“We are too good for those people; they don’t deserve our help.”

“There’s a lot of people that don’t deserve you Sole, you’re too good for everyone.” Nick complimented, and he meant it. He saw Sole as a good person, but an even better friend and this just solidified his opinion. Sole being able to ignore a quest and defend Nick’s honor. That showed him that Sole really appreciated his companionship and it made him happy. Nick pulled out a small notebook and began writing.

“I’m going to have to add that to the list of great comebacks.”

Strong: He doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him. Strong knows he is strong and a good fighter, that was the only thing he cares about. He was used to the remarks and looks, so when he entered a settlement with Sole, he already expected it. Sole had been helping the settlement to rebuild, taking quests quite frequently though it was before Strong joined them. This was the first time Strong had come to the settlement with Sole. Sole thought nothing of it and entered the settlement talking to the residents. Sole chatted happily giving them supplies they desperately needed. Strong tailed behind Sole, slowly sauntering over to them and the residents of the settlement. A woman of the settlement spotted Strong, her face twisting in disgust.

“God, get that freak away from here.” She exclaimed.

Sole immediately stopped talking, their smile dropping from their face. Sole faced the woman, speaking to her in a cold low voice.

“Say something like that again and I’ll burn this settlement to the ground.” The woman freaked out, running to her home, Sole’s eyes boring into the back of her head. Sole turned their attention to the other residents around them. “This is my friend Strong, he’s with me and if anyone has a problem with that then you can fend for yourselves.” The residents nodded and forced smiles at Strong.

Strong was greatly impressed. He knew Sole was a good fighter, but now he’d seen a new side to them and it entertained him. Being honest he would have liked to see Sole burn a settlement down, however he knew that would be the wrong thing to do. So, he settled for the threat.

“Strong like human more. Human good to strong.”

“Of course, buddy. You’re my friend.” Sole cheered as they left the settlement.

X6-88: He would occasionally think about what people thought about him. But the only people’s opinions he cared about was father or the scientists at the institute. If it was someone in the commonwealth then he did not care what they thought about him, as he thought their lives and opinions were less important to him. He knew Sole was less like that. Sole was the type of person to please everyone to keep them happy. He knew Sole would try anything to be nice and make sure people liked them even rolling over and taking verbal lashing if someone thought Sole was wrong. It slightly bothered X6 as he didn’t think Sole should care, he told Sole they should stand up for themselves. Yet Sole would always laugh and say they were ok.

Sole took X6 to Diamond city, as they had to talk briefly with one of the residents. X6 wasn’t keen on the idea, knowing the reputation synths have inside the city. Yet he followed them in and tried to keep close to Sole not wanting to cause them trouble by disturbing the residents. They got in and spoke to the quest giver with ease, making their way out in quick time. X6 thought they may make it out without a scene. Unfortunately, a resident caught sight of X6 and recognized the institute apparel.

“Ugh, you’re walking around with a snatcher? Those things kill people you know, you should just ditch it or better yet put it out of its misery.” The man spat. X6 was expecting Sole to apologize and quickly usher him out of the city. He prepared to leave, but was surprised when Sole stopped and stepped close to the man.

“Yeah, I know. Who do you think taught him? Do you know the best way to make someone disappear without a trace? Because I do. Do you know how to cut someone up without making them lose too much blood? Because I do. Maybe you’d like to be my next subject, I can use your body to show him how to cut through bones with ease.” Sole sneered, snarling their teeth at the man. The residents face whitened and he quickly backed away from Sole muttering curse words under his breath.

“People scare so easily.” Sole laughed. “Shall we go?”

X6 was impressed and immensely proud of Sole for standing up to someone. He smiled, glad that Sole was his friend.

“I appreciate you standing up for me. Though you didn’t need to.”

“I do. That’s what friends are for.”

“I feel as though you may have compromised yourself and cut off a reliable source in this city.” X6 said.

“If this city is full of people like him, then I don’t want any part of it.” Sole exclaimed. X6 didn’t think it was necessary to cut off an entire city, especially as it does occasionally have it’s uses. However, he appreciated the sentiment, he’d never had someone stand up for him before. It was an interesting experience but he enjoyed it. It shone a new light over Sole that he hadn’t seen before. A great and protective friend. Sole might not be confrontational all the time, but now X6 knew Sole would be there for him when it mattered most and that was what he needed in a friend.

If you do not like what other people like, then this is not a reason to insult them.

You must distinguish the real world from fiction. If you can't do that, can you stop using social media, please? Why can't you just NOT watch posts tagged "Beluz" if you're so easily hurt by drawings?

Do you really want so badly to draw other people's attention to the fact that you do not like something that they like? Or do you think that if you insult them, then something will change?

Just don't interact with people whose content you don't like. Do yourself and them a favor

hey bucko, you seem to be lacking some braincells, so let me shed some light on that dark, empty brain of yours! 🙂

see, this is how the internet functions, bud! i make an opinion post on things i find that really grind my gears, as most people do on social media! before said post, i did not actively seek out any beluz posts. in fact, i have done my damn best to avoid them. a beluz supporter came on MY post, basically begging for attention at that rate.

you see, champ, what you dont seem to understand is that fiction bleeds into reality very often! take that one slenderman case, for example. yknow the one. that was caused by, you guessed it, fiction!

i do not actively engage with beluz shippers, i am primarily nonconfrontational! but theres a difference when someone who tries to defend it comes forward, clinging on to the mindset that 'fiction is fiction', which can be correct in some cases! when someone uses silly headcanons for a character that doesnt actively harm anyone, fiction is fiction! its a character, usually headcanons come from a form of projection in most cases.

however, bringing in pedophilia into the mix is when shit gets weird. y'see, pedophilia in all forms is wrong, something everyone is taught at a young age. common sense, right? when you take a young character and try to ship them with a much older, mature character, its obviously not right. everyone is aware of this.

fiction is just the projection of reality. i mean, realistically, if you saw a young girl dating an older man, you would be disgusted, wouldnt you? so why is it different within fiction? ill answer it for you, because people believe they can hide behind the face of fiction to condone their disgusting actions. pedophilia is pedophilia, regardless! see, get this, according to the Section 1466A of Title 18, United State Code, it's illegal for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to transfer or distribute visual representations, such as drawings, cartoons, or paintings that appear to depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and are deemed obscene.

and that's just in america. it is ALSO illegal in the UK and Canada and many more countries! fiction does affect reality. many insults are warranted here in this situation, because news flash, pedophiles and those who encourage pedophilia are disgusting!

please get a grip, hope this helped, buckaroo! <33

#i had to dumb it down for you #youre welcome #youre all freaks #beluz #toh #the owl house #anti beluz #valid argument #but unfortunately #pipebomb

fiddleford mcgucket for the ask game?

Oooooh, thank you!!!!!

favorite thing about them least favorite thing about them favorite line brOTP OTP nOTP random headcanon unpopular opinion song i associate with them favorite picture of them

Favorite thing about them: Fiddleford's got such manic energy! He just drank the alien milk in the Journal! He tried to hit the hide behind with a banjo! He just likes makin' shit, even if it has no use or is dangerous! He's a big ball of jitter and PURE rabid ambition.

Least favorite thing: Hirsch said in the DVD commentary and in a stream that McGucket is nonconfrontational, more of a follower, and that this is why he didn't do more to stop the portal. This frustrates me to no end, and I am FULL of thoughts on it.

Favorite line: "Remember what happened to Icarus..." OR "When Gravity Falls and Earth Becomes Sky, Fear the Beast With Just One Eye"

brOTP: If Myserty Trio was canon? Stan and Fiddleford. But also Ford and Fidds being best friends makes me so happy.

OTP: Ford and Fidds being lovers also makes me so happy

random headcanon: I feel like Fiddleford knew about Bill, even if Ford never says it in the journal. I think Ford just didn't know. fanfiction exploring this kind of became less common after J3 when there was no indication that Fiddleford met Bill, but Fiddleford having an experience with Bord??? It gives me goosebumps.

unpopular opinion: I feel like a lot of people like to make Fiddleford the "common sense" one out of Ford and Fiddleford, or that Fiddleford was the more "domestic" of the two. Like Ford would go do something dangerous and reckless and also he'd burn the kitchen down trying to cook, and then Fiddleford would shake his head and go "well, might as well cook dinner and prepare some bandages for that scallywag for when he comes back tsk tsk tsk." No, I think they both *thought* they were the Common Sense one, but neither of them were, and that the shack was more of a science frat house, just accumulating a mess, while they were both working there. It's like when Fidds drank the Space Milk and Ford was in the journal like "oh my god i cant believe he did that." I read that like "I can't believe YOU didn't." So yeah, I'm not a personal fan of "common sense househusband" readings of him. I also disagree with people who are like "Fiddleford did nothing wrong uwu" - if he knew the apocalypse was coming but didn't do more than just erase his mind, I would say that's not correct. BUT I don't think he's unsympathetic or a bad person. I think it makes him complicated. And I think him being complicated is another one of my favorite parts of him.

Song I associate with him: "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

favorite picture of them:

#thank you for sending!#fiddleford mcgucket

Sober - Eddie Munson

Chapter 5 - Rebound

Masterlist

You might ask why is there a gif of Steve in this chapter and not our beloved Eddie? Well the answer dear readers is because Steve finally makes his debut in the story!!

"Y'know I just do not understand why you don't just get on the damn phone and yell at him to get his ass back to Hawkins." Marguerite sighed sipping at her lemonade

"Johnathan is different. And I don't want to upset him by doing that. Besides there's always Spring break." Nancy said

"You're so nonconfrontational it makes me physically ill." Marguerite groaned

"Who's nonconfrontational?" A voice asked

Fred Benson welcomed himself to the table by loudly setting his tray down. A year ago, Marguerite didn't even know who Fred was but now she found him sitting next to her every day at lunch. He was an interesting boy a little jumpy though. Billy would've made fun of her for even looking at a boy like Fred Benson. Marguerite wondered what Billy would've said about her sitting and talking with him everyday.

"Nancy says Johnathan isn't coming to Hawkins during winter break." She explained

"Oh. Well that's alright I guess." Fred shrugged

"Y'know you're really clueless about relationships Fredward." Marguerite smiled

"I am not. I'm sure Nancy's Johnathan issues will be fine." He said straightening his glasses

"Whatever. I'm gonna run to the bathroom quickly." She excused herself.

Marguerite spent the rest of the day hiding red eyes from her teachers and dozing while they talked about whatever they seemed important. Immediately after school she found Robin and followed her to Steve's car.

"Those eyes look pretty red, Marguerite..." Robin said

"It's not even that bad." Marguerite dismissed

"Really let's see what Steve has to say?" Robin bargained

They reached the car and found Max already sitting in the backseat, headphones on with music playing.

"Jesus you look like shit, Marguerite." Steve said

"You can't just say that to pretty girls, Steve." Marguerite said as she slipped into the passenger seat.

"Who said I was talking to a pretty girl?" Steve teased

"You. You said it like...a million times when you were mine. Like that one time after we-"

"Okay that's enough about what you and Steve have done!" Robin cut her off

"I was just gonna say after we watched Terminator!" Marguerite exclaimed

Robin shook her head as Steve pulled out of the parking lot ignoring the way her friend was giggling in the front seat.

"You and I both know that's not what you were gonna say." Steve shook his head

°°°

"So you hung out with Eddie Munson last night and then fell asleep in his room?!" Robin practically screamed

"Yeah...it's really no big deal. Nothing happened I did find out he used to have his head shaved though." Marguerite replied

"Uh it is a big deal. You can't use Munson as your rebound from me. That's a huge step down." Steve pointed out

"Steve stop pretending you're some untouchable God." Robin groaned

"Yeah you literally are best friends with a 15 year old." Marguerite laughed

"You like Henderson just as much as I do." Steve shook his head

"Yeah but you're like some dad figure to him little Stevie." Robin said

"Mmm I was thinking more like mom figure." Marguerite interjected.

"I'm not a mom figure to Henderson." Steve said

"You literally drove him to that middle school dance. Plus you literally gave him girl and hair advice." Marguerite pointed out

She had been walking with them along those train tracks while they looked for Dart. Steve had admitted to his hair secrets being sponsored by Farrah Fawcett herself. And then she had to listen to Steve talk about lions and agression.

"Whatever, Marguerite." Steve said turning away from the girls and continuing to stack VHS tapes.

Family Video was quiet on a Thursday afternoon. Business didn't really ramp up until the weekend began and everyone had time to screw around. Marguerite didn't actually work at the movie rental place, she hadn't had a job since Starcourt had closed. Instead she just hung with Steve and Robin as they organized tapes and avoided Keith and his strange attempts to ask her out.

"What if we just caught a movie this Friday?" Keith asked munching on those cheese curls

"Nope. I got plans." Marguerite said not looking up from her book

"Plans? Plans with who?" Steve asked

"None of your business Steve." Marguerite sighed

"Betcha its with Eddie!" Robin yelled from the back of the store

"It is not with Eddie." Marguerite glared

No Eddie in this chapter sorry everyone :( but on the Bright side he will be back next chapter. I hope you are enjoying so far.

As someone who also has a muppet lover, I feel like you get a lot of flack for no reason :(

Me and my muppet lover (his name is flimsel) have a very happy relationship, but I feel like so many people see it as a joke. I don’t understand why people are so fucked up…

Why do they think it’s wrong?

Do you have any advice for dealing with these hurtful people? I’m very nonconfrontational and I get nervous when they question me and flimsel

Unfortunately, often the only way to get hateful people off your back is to be confrontational. When people treat me and Kermit's relationship as a joke, I let them know I am not someone to be fucked with and show them my full rage. This scares them off generally.

My advice? Tell them you are going "Joker Mode" (or whatever your equivalent is). This way, they know to take you seriously and stop making fun of you.

@ the anon asking about whether a specific blogger is reliable:

I completely understand the question. But in general I don't answer things that involve someone who is currently active online, unless they are a present danger to people in the community. By present danger I mean the last time I stuck my nose in was with someone who was abusing several people in the DID community and bragging about it while also sharing peoples' private information to others. This has to do with several factors: 1) as a brown person I get much more frequently called aggressive for even mild disputes, which has happened multiple times for stuff that is as little and nonconfrontational as "stopped talking to someone," so I pick what I speak out against, 2) because I know the nature of this site and its tendency to harass people and I'm not gonna be part of that even if purely by accident, 3) because I prefer to handle things privately, one on one, if there is a serious issue rather than airing it all out, and 4) because for the most part I am very unaware of individual people in the DID community--I don't follow the tags and I get most of my DID Community News from either friends who tell me things or because something got recommended to me. For example for the specific person you asked about, I am actually aware of who they are, only because they've been around for years, but I do not keep up with them or read basically any of their stuff.

The most I will say to you here is this: if you are asking me, then it seems like you don't think they are reliable or at least doubt that they are. I would ask yourself what makes you uncomfortable, but also to trust your gut. It's good to wrestle with your own discomfort and reasons why you might be uncomfortable with someone that could be bias, but it is still a good idea to listen to yourself. Whether you turn out to be "correct" or not, you should have your own back in these matters.

#I like gossip but only funny things...IMO if it's serious it needs to be discussed and attempted to be resolved privately first #before it goes and gets aired out #and if you DO air things out it should be for a good reason #I think there have only been two instances where I talked about someone who still exists online on this blog...I might be wrong but I think #one was the abusive shitstain I mentioned and the other was dissociadid #like I talked about TIND but Kat's had TIND archived for a bit and already had it archived by then #but yeah point being I don't really talk about other people on here #now privately I can and do warn people more often about specific users but that's not the same as putting them on blast to get harassed etc #.log

Oh no baby Gabriel asking if Mig's been bad and thats why he's being taken away... I bet someone (George) must have told them at least one if they were bad or misbehaved they'd be taken away... and then Conchata saying it's because Mig is good at the wrong things... I bet that gave Gabriel a complex, can't be bad but also can't be good at the wrong things (but you don't know what the wrong things are). Thinking if thats why Gabriel is so different from Mig, not just in what they studied/career but also how they act and how they treated other people, because Gabriel can't be like Miguel because thats the wrong thing.

i am...so late to replying to this im sorry fskjdfhkjds

and no i agree, i think having to live with the reminder of what it looks like (and the fact it's a thing that EXISTS) when your mother decides one of her children is just a lost cause really would've fucked Gabriel up. Especially considering he's grown up into a big people pleaser who actively runs away from having hard conversations about how people in his life have hurt him (or even when he's just hurt by something innocuous like Kasey offhandedly saying she thinks Spiderman is hot lmao)

I personally get the vibe Gabriel is just genuinely different to Miguel in personality but the influences in his life that specifically rewarded nonconfrontation and people pleasing really did a number on him

#on the point about george instiling the threat of being taken away. i wouldnt be surprised if he DID dip into those threats but i also feel #like i have to acknowledge we dont see any textual reference to that being the case #george esp seemed to really just ignore gabriel because miguel was the 'genius' he could bargain off for more company clout #and imo at least part of conchata's favouritism for gabriel wouldve been rooted in her caring for someone george essentially kind of #abandoned #ask games #anon

hi all, just want to do a big update as my final semester started this week.

i'm currently not enthusiastic because our neighbor (can't tell if it's downstairs or to our right but now i have a feeling it's downstairs) has an unregistered, untrained dog who has been barking for the past several days and it's driving my bf and i insane. it's barking right now and i've been calling the complex every day i hear it just to add to my complaint. they've been saying they'll send someone down to check it out, knock around and ask about it i guess and i'm assuming they've been doing that but it's just frustrating, i wish it were more invasive or strict? like i don't necessarily want the owners to have to give up the dog or move out but i also know whatever the repercussion calls for is not my responsibility, they as tenants agreed that if they have a pet that it should be registered properly and not disturb their neighbors' globe of sound. that's not too much to ask so if they can't do even that then they kinda deserve the consequence of a noise complaint or an unregistered animal. but at the same time i assume the dog must be in some level of unease to be barking this much so i feel kinda bad for it. it doesn't seem like a "i'm all alone" bark it sounds like a "squirrel!" bark.

ANYWAYS. i want to talk about how my classes have been going. I'm taking 6 classes: thrive, intro to expressive art therapy, intro to family, intro to sociology, video game narrative, and identity and culture in franco film. I'm also taking a masterclass for the heartsupport network which is a nonprofit mental health program centered around metal music as catharsis. i'm also a part of a club called active minds which is another mental health program. so i'm extremely busy and am technically on hiatus on the traumasurvivorshelpingsurvivors blog until i can find moments of stillness.

thrive is a 7 week class that's barely a class (in fact, it isn't the only one). this is about student wellbeing. the only homework is really to set an intention for the week (it meets once a week) that's practical and promotes a healthier lifestyle, as well as documenting self care routines throughout the rest of the week. i'm so glad to say i made 4 new friends in this class already, which is really unlike me as i'm naturally introverted and scared to break silence, but i felt comfortable enough in that space to have conversations, which also created a domino effect where the people i said hello to said hello to other students. at the end of class i asked for us to exchange information which also inspired them to do the same amongst each other, so i'm really happy about that.

intro to sociology is surprisingly spicy so far despite not even starting the material. the professor is one of the most inclusive professors i've ever had, as she talked about how pronouns are important and even listed it/its and xe/xyr as valid pronouns. as a lecture hall i honestly felt a little scared when she said that? because as i found out in today's class, not everyone "agrees" with that. err... yeah, today we had conversations with each other about what we could bring to the class and i grouped up with this one guy who said he likes to be the devil's advocate and went on to say how he thinks blm, pro choicers, and the lgbt community are too sensitive, and also talked about the second amendment. not sure why he unloaded that on me as i don't feel like i look like someone who would agree with any of that but at the same time i'm nonconfrontational so i was being agreeable to avoid escalation.

culture and identity in franco film was not what i originally signed up for. i originally signed up for national cinema, and this is a class im taking with my bf. turns out it's french cinema, which is fine, but i was just confused. it seems fun so far, we're currently watching a comedy called le visiteurs which is like monty python's holy grail.

i just had intro to expressive art therapy for the first time today. it seems really cool, it's more of actual therapy than a class about therapy, if that makes sense. we're to bring things to class like crayons, markers, gel pens, colored pencils, as well as tissues because the professor stressed that it can get so emotional that usually everyone cries at least once. we listened to a song and did a mandala (i participated but it wasn't really a mandala, just a doodle within the circle) that was supposed to represent us. this one also feels like a non-class which i'm happy about.

video game narrative seems interesting, it's an async class which is usually really bad for me but i'm also taking this with my bf, and the professor i've met before and is super nice so those are some advantages. plus there are actual due dates which is usually not the case for async classes, usually they just say everything's due at the end of the semester which is really bad for my procrastination. but what's really cool about this class is that part of our homework is to play video games and record us playing them (which can include streaming). so another non-class, although we do have some brief articles and reflections sprinkled throughout.

intro to family is also interesting so far, this is another once/week class and so far it seems to be about the different kinds of families like arranged marriages, monogamy, polygamy, polyamory, divorce, separated, repaired divorce or separations, and really just the complexities of a family. one of our big projects is to create a genogram (family tree) which is a daunting task as i'm fortunate to have quite a large family with a lot of information dating back to great great great grandparents. it's interesting to observe visually how my dad's family is disproportionately larger than my mom's, how two of my family members (not blood related thank god) have passed from cancer, and other things. it's giving what remains of edith finch.

i think that's all of them?

i just hope that i can keep my momentum this semester because i CANNOT afford to fail. CANNOT. it's a big pressure but i'm just trying to hype myself up to step up to the plate.

if you read this far you're a real one, hope you're having a wonderful day, thank you for reading all of that.

Hey! Sorry if this seems out of the blue, I'm aware you've pretty much moved on from OnS it seems, so it may be weird to receive an ask about it in 2022. But anyway. I just thought you should know that i still regularly think about Follow Your Instincts. It's one of my favorite fics of all time because of how you portray abo dynamics and mikayuu. This isn't me like bugging you to update or anything, i want to make that very clear. i just felt i needed to share how much your writing has stuck with me because i was going through your mikayuu tag tonight and it made me sentimental and shit... anyway, i haven't been on tumblr in forever but whenever i do come back on i see posts from you and it makes me remember how much your blog and your writing meant to me back when OnS was my main interest. I'm glad to see you're still writing! You had such a deep understanding for the OnS cast and im sure that is still an enthralling part of your writing even now in other fandoms! I don't know if i've ever left a comment on FYI but i probably should when i go back and reread it sometime soon lol.. I hope you're having a good day!! 💕💕💕

Haha yeah, ONS is one of the few fandoms that I've moved out of with no intention of ever going back, unfortunately. A mixture of it being one of the most hostile fanbases I've ever been in + the way the story turned just completely killed my interest in it, even if I am still very fond of Mika, Yuu, Shinoa and the squad. Which is kind of sad, because I met some of my very dear friends in that fandom and FYI gave me a massive boost in confidence in my writing, but alas, things change. I don't think anything will stop me from writing, but being in a supportive and generally nonconfrontational fandom such as Hollow Knight vastly improved my desire to produce content for it, while ONS was a constant headache to deal with, despite my deep love for the series and the fun I had writing for it

I do very much appreciate this ask though, anon! It means a lot to me- part of the reason why I've had it sitting in my inbox for so long is honestly just because it was nice to look at. Tysm for stopping by and telling me how much you enjoy my storytelling- it really does mean a lot :)

#anon #reply #ons #i havent used that tag in ages...its been 84 years #dunno what to do with fyi tbh but i dont wanna abandon it #even if it still is my most viewed fic and im kinda bummed about it #(i started it when i was 16 and am now 23. im better at writing now!!)#(look at my new work!!)#but anyways

Rant below

I am if you can’t tell extremely nonconfrontational — if I’m out in a situation where I know I can’t reason with someone or won’t ever be able to reason with someone, or if I know it’ll be a losing battle and just worse if I try to speak my piece, I just leave. And I burn the bridges behind me so that I can’t get a “Hey why did you (x)” from other people presumably asked to message me. Not only do I ask to please not message me on the behalf of others (unless it is extremely important) especially if I blocked that individual because it will just bother me depending on context because (if I haven’t blocked you) I would rather people tell me things themselves and I most likely have that person blocked for a reason. Could be anything from they were weird about a character I like to something as serious as being some sort of major league shithead. If any of that makes sense.

I’m a very on my own terms person and I will do anything to keep control of a situation for myself because when I’m out of control of myself it usually isn’t pretty. So I eliminate the risk for anything horrible happening or something being blown out of proportion happening by cutting off any and every outlet that I can consider a risk to this control. usually I don’t block people on discord — I just unfriend them and make sure we aren’t sharing any servers (if so, I turn off “allow messages from server members” from the server we share if it’s a server like one for emotes or whatever) and let discord do all the rest.

Tumblr though I may softblock people just to quick-remove them from my followers+following circle. I still do however hardblock liberally lmao.

So anyways rant over I needed to articulate this before it bothered me to being wide awake again lmao

i think about you sometimes !!

messing with my typing quirks b/c maybe it’ll be fun for you to figure out who this is , like a silly form of enrichment , but i do think about you and how you’ve introduced me to things before i see them again , sometimes years later ! i got a song on my recommended that you sent a link to before and i checked to see if you actually had and you did ! i got a silly video about spacehey too and i can’t find the message but i’m 99.9% sure you showed it to me ! i wonder about your mind and your art and your writing but lately i’ve rarely talked to anyone at all , so there’s the excuse for not reaching out . i’ve been going about just keeping to myself . i don’t know if we’ll ever talk again , but you’re in my thoughts .

i hope you’re doing well !!

if youre who i believe youve done an endearingly poor job of changing up your writing style but i respect the effort! this is an interesting way to reach out, feels rather like talking to a ghost. but i guess youre right that i could only respond to something so nonconfrontational. as is.

im doing the thing right now where i read a lot of one book and like to talk with a similar formality. (it doesnt come through well but it reads the same in my mind.) it's no less than a collective of 3000 pages of careful intricate slowburn of a god-on-earth emperor and his competent secretary. they work to reform the 99 generations of poor government, the emperor one day gets to be himself again. there's a beautiful drapery of court pleasantries and fealty as a guise for their deep feelings. not that i am sure i have so many feelings (though the book skirts a perfect line of the aroace spectrum i enjoy) but maybe you can see why myself, avoidant and indirect, can enjoy it.

im glad you are excited by things i share, and that i was right they might be something in your own radar! my dear maliha used to do that for me in middleschool and it always tickled me when something came back to me a year later.

i also wonder on the writing and art of yourself and the entire lot of our class. i miss very badly being able to glance to either side and see something internal laid out next to me. i dont do so much, except my smileys when i feel aggravated and my easy doodles in book margins. but i have plans to do some studies. your pieces which included ambient sound were among my favorites (assuming you are, of course, you)

i dont hang out with anyone except my coowrkers, except holidays when the full force of several social lives drains me. had to call out of work for how tired it made me. i hope that you do still have people you could hang out with even if you dont. and i am still gravely sorry i cannot so enthusiastically be. sometimes it is easier when you know for certain someone is not willing to peer into your heart and soul but instead just enjoy company. any more makes my head spin.

much love, whether ive guessed who or not, to you! from my writing and my art and my thoughts.once dear to me i do not at all forget, which i think i already told you.

The Ghost #128: Diversions

#128: Diversions

Summary (serial): Kuthumae's a highly trained mercenary captain who's pulled off the impossible (and the extremely improbable) many times. It's had its costs; on the last mission, while he pulled off the impossible job and got his team home alive, he got stuck between dimensions, in a plane outside the normal flow of time. There he met a girl - because if one person can be stuck there, why not two? Rina is the sheltered-yet-traumatized daughter of a noble family on an entirely different world from Kuth; a world of goddesses and wishes, imprisoned in that dimension so that she may never realize the full extent of her powers. Not that she's likely to; she volunteered to be put there. When the two meet, they each prove the key to the other's freedom - and we'd say they hold the keys to each other's hearts, but frankly when it comes to People, we're talking about a pair of dumbasses here.

Summary (this arc): In an unprecedented bargain, the worlds of Arsu and Andeliin have exchanged the services of dozens if not hundreds of Specialists for ownership of the Tyrant of Andeliin's former flagship - a ship that can cross the layers of reality. Or at least it could, before the Tyrant was turned into a lake of glass and Sif blew a very large hole straight through its alien engines. But no big, right? They just have to figure out how it crosses the layers, how its engines work, and fix all the damage somehow. Right? Oh, and then figure out how to steer it. And - wait. Which way would 'home' be, if you have to walk it instead of jump?

Rating: Mature (violence, language)

Warnings: This chapter discusses things like long-term torture. The 2019 Master Linkpost is here. The 2020 Master Linkpost is here. The 2021 Master Linkpost is here. The 2022 Master Linkpost is here.

New reader? Don't love in medias res? Begin here! (Or head to the grand masterpost and pick a likely arc!)

This week:

Kuth and Rina manage to utterly fail at communication. On the other hand, the new Enforcers prove very effective at it. Rina, looking for something nonconfrontational, instead finds a sign that the city is indeed recovering.
