Bright Stars and Light Shines

She/Her. I like to dabble in writing. Also a fandom-lover. I just love a good story. This page will really have anything that tickles my fancy. There is no order to it.

G'raha Tia vs Zenos

I wonder who would win a fan off between G'raha Tia and Zenos for the Warrior of Light.

Both are probably the two most knowledge about you in the entire star.

G'raha knows your exploits and legend by heart.

Zenos knows your techniques and fighting style by muscle memory.

G'raha literally sacrificed the future Source and broke metaphysical laws to time travel in order to bring you back from the dead and impressed an Ascian by reverse engineering three gods.

Zenos literally came back from the dead, killed his father, brought about the Final Days and released Zodiark as a backdrop for your fight, then traveled across the universe to save and fight you.

G'raha knows your soul from studying how to find you, and probably can recognize you instantly wherever.

Zenos knows the most about your body considering he literally stole it for a few hours to see how you existed.

They're even the classic 'Bad Boy vs Good Boy' trope.

I genuinely don't know who has more faith in the WoL. G'raha bet the Source and First on you and Zenos asked why you hadn't bodied the incarnation of extinction when he got there.

I need a fic of them fighting over who knows the WoL best.

do you guys ever like forget you're interested in something until you start engaging with it again and you go "oh wait i'm like crazy crazy about this yeah"

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.

[part-time-zombie]

Exactly! It's freaking annoying when I want to watch movies but I would have to subscribe to like 24 different services . Just to watch the shows that I like.

[someones-here-for-sure]

Oh and wouldn’t it be nice for cartoons? Just anything animated. I just wanna stream things without getting conned. Must I be cartoonless forever?

[tinypaperwindmill]

i like using streaming apps but there are waaaay too many and they're all stealing my data .i wish there was a secure and organized way to have millions of shows and movies available one one app. but alas. we've truly gone full circle back to cable + now it spies on you. its a real shame. i dont want to fill my device storage with tons of boring and stupid cash grabs.

I once had a landlord offhandedly mention that his mother had set this house on fire before. He and his wife lived on the first floor, and i rented the third.

Apparently his mom didn’t like his wife. So she set their house on fire. The house i was living in.

He assured me that everything was fine now and that this was years ago, just kinda laughed, smiled, and said ‘You know how moms are’

Yes. I know how moms are. I know how fucked up moms are as well. I have known many fucked up moms and fellow children of fucked up moms.

Attempted murder through arson is not typical mom behavior, even for a fucked up abusive mom

Oh, and his mother lived next door 🙃

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

There were two houses next door to each other, both owned by the same family. They had lived there for decades, and for my landlord it was also his childhood home. Each house had three floors that acted as separate units. Every unit in the two houses was occupied by members of the extended family— except for me. I was the oddball living in the attic of one of the houses.

This is the family dynamic i was tossed into

HOUSE ONE

1st floor— landlord and his wife

2nd floor— identical twin sister of landlord’s wife, occasionally children (not clear whose)

3rd floor— me ☺️

HOUSE TWO

1st floor— landlord’s mother, who previously set house 1 on fire

2nd floor— adult daughter of twin sister, her young kids, and current man (changes of man signified by throwing clothes out of window)

3rd floor— creepy brother of the twin sisters who is always outside working on his van

Yes, the rent was dirt cheap

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

The rent was so cheap that i usually paid in cash— ATM fees were about the same as money orders (and i didn’t have checks)

Then one day my landlord is in his truck, pulling out the driveway when he stops and asks

‘Hey— you haven’t been short on rent these last few months, have you?’

No… I had been paying in full, on time

To his wife. In cash

He wasn’t normally home when i would go to pay rent, so i would give it to her. Figured it was the same as giving it to him.

Turns out instead she was pocketing $100 off the top and telling him i was short each month.

And he knew it was happening. He just wanted to confirm.

‘Each month she makes it her little pay day! Well you know how wives are’

Sir, you need to reevaluate the women in your life because this level of stealing and attempted murder is not normal

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

“You know how moms/wives are” is a statistical error. Landlord Georg, whose wife and mother steal from and attempt to kill him, respectively, was a outlier and should not be counted

[aholefilledwithtwigs]

Additional fun fact! The reason he was hard to get a hold of? He worked a crazy schedule that always changed.

He was a hospital chef. Oh. And a wedding dj. He tried many, many times to hire me to help work dj events for him.

I would politely decline

This whole thing reads as at least a 30k notes post wdym it only has 130 notes

EARLY ON A BIG POST FOR ONCE

[problemnyatic]

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

[beeezah]

OP i hope its okay to reblog with your additions bc they are good

[problemnyatic]

not only is it okay, I think i'd like that very much, thank you.

[queer-disaster-academic]

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

[revenantscholar]

The skill can come back and it often does. It is not unusual for it skill recedes during stressful and painful times. Maybe you just need more stability/safety/kind people around you.

I have been through something similar a few times in my life with writing, yoga, studying...

Admittedly, my life is always financially and socially precarious, so my notion of stability currently just means "enough money to pay the rent and food for the next few months."

It is hard to hold onto anything when you have to fight for survival all the time, either materially or emotionally.

[queer-disaster-academic]

Wow, uh. Okay, I'm gonna need a minute to process "It is hard to hold onto anything when you have to fight for survival all the time...". You're genuinely rewiring my brain is we speak.

Thank you, this means a lot to hear. <3

[revenantscholar]

Thank you as well. We have to help each other in this hellscape whenever we can.

One of the worst feelings in the world: when you are just desperate, like claw-your-own-skin-off desperate, to create, but the only thing that even vaguely appeals to you to work on is a nebulous half-feeling that might be dreamily related to some half-formed notion of a concept. I must! Make! No thing! Only make!

[marypsue]

Everything is boring. All activity is meaningless. I understand why Sherlock Holmes did cocaine.

[carriecmoney]

You know when you're checking out a new fandom and you stumble across a writer/artist you loved in a previous fandom and it feels like running into a childhood friend at a bar

[carriecmoney]

Running into the arms of trusted ao3 handles in a new tag like an airport greeting

[apricops]

the narrative: *starts the third act by repeating a scene from the first act but now it has a totally different context*

me: ohoHOhohoHOHOhoHO

COWPOST RATING: INCORRECT

that is not one of those

[kestrelsandcentipedes]

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

[hopelessromanticghost]

I could write about how capitalism is ruining our society by privatizing everything, including self-expression and art, and, in this case, theatre, going so far that you not only have to pirate broadway shows but have to give them weird vague titles in order to keep them up on the internet, and the fact that this makes it so difficult to find these videos for people who don't have the needed knowledge about these tricks.

Or I could just laugh about the funny silly titles bootlegs get

Feel free to add more titles
