It’s Just Geese

my roommate hates me my adjectives are beradished and jugheadesque

[unheardoracle]

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is mostly a character study. In my head, this becomes StatNick, but I didn't tag it because it's just not relevant to what I actually wrote.

Revolutionary idea: imagine [character I like] with [disability I have]. More people should get on this!

a ton of people have unexpectedly followed me over the last 2 days so here is my rent-lowering gunshot:

the american south is the most racially diverse and poorest region of the united states, and any political sentiment that treats the south is stupid or expendable is inherently racist and classist. a lot of y'all are racist and classist. the south is also the heart of american culture. argue with a wall. you cannot deny that everybody in the entire world does not emulate artists from atlanta. there is vested interest in keeping the south poor and uneducated BECAUSE this is the most racially diverse region in this country. if you actually give a fuck about progress, you would fight for the south, not mock us.

people are always saying “they have should be at the club” about characters who would immediately have a panic attack if even put in the general vicinity of one

staring at the dessert menu and twirling my hair and going "should I be baaaaddd" until the autistic girl I'm eating with says "there is nothing bad about eating dessert. it is a morally neutral action"

dog i love left of the dial so much .the juxtaposition of season 3 being about losing your humanity in the pursuit of knowledge and power and fitting into a place you never expected to fit into and left of the dial being about regaining part of that humanity through the power of human (or partially human) connection and community and how love can really actually change the world in spite of all the existential dread happening . also how road trips are a love language shut the fuck up i'm breaking all of my fingers and toes and ripping my hair out screaming

[stopitlight]

when nicholas carries static man, and finally notices how much humanity he has left, my heart breaks a little. statnick is so special to me, and i think im going to cry about it again right this second

archive 81 making their morally gray gay ritualist/sorcerer with an eldritch boyfriend a cane user was so smart on their part. they made him cool as shit by doing that

[evilcatrat]

God. something about how Nicholas and Chris survive and win thanks to people. to each other. to their friends to their GRANDFATHERS friend. something about how michael wanted to use his sons body to live again. alone. he wanted to live forever alone. just. something about all this. connections and threads and just. random people random connections and it keeps them Alive. michael waters was killed by his kids. Chris and Nicholas kept each other alive. I'm just. God im going insane

i am a vassal and you are my lord. i have sworn to serve you and you have sworn to protect me. this is an expression of mutual care and support but also of mutual threat.

i am a good weapon, a strong weapon, and i am more than capable of any destruction you could ever wish to inflict. i am helpless but to obey any order you could ever wish to give; i swore an oath.

you could wield me against targets i don't want to harm for ends i don't want to pursue. but so too did you swear an oath, and so too are you helpless but to protect me. remember that a shield is meant to be moved into the path of an enemy sword and struck. it would be easy to find an enemy sword.

it was smarter for us to be allies than enemies. our vows are knives we hold against the other's throat, and still this bond keeps us safe from each other. what is trust if not giving someone the ability to destroy you in the confidence that they will not use it?

an attack dog can be a beloved companion. just remember that its teeth would know no difference between your enemy's flesh and yours.

I either need a more experienced fic writer or the confidence to write it myself, but:

A81 fanfiction where Nicholas needs a bone from the Paris catacombs as a ritual component. I’ve had so many thoughts about this today.

[pyromechanical]

one thing i love abt the statnick dynamic is that looking at the normal human guy in his late 20s and the horrifying non-euclidean being made of static and teeth, youd never guess which of them is highly experienced in the occult, and which of them had to explain pokemon to the other

I never really realize how American I am until I’m trying to eat dinner at 6:00 and no one else is eating.

[quietwingsinthesky]

we’re so lucky that gilgamesh survived and is a banger. can you imagine if we found the oldest written human story ever recorded and it sucked balls.

being gay is just consuming every single piece of horror media available
