I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

[caspercryptid]

If someone is doing things that don't make Sense, try to understand that it is entirely possible that their brain is probably under an enormous weight and fracturing under the pressure. People who have been stabbed will sometimes talk a circle around the fact that they've been stabbed because stress and shock prevent you from recognizing the distress you are in and what you need to do to seek help for it. PTSD will do this also. You will find yourself repeatedly jamming a bag of frozen fruit into the same spot in the freezer where it doesn't fit and keeps falling, over and over and over, focused on nothing but that bag. You will decide that a beanbag chair is 10000% necessary to your life. You will lose your entire shit because you stubbed your toe on a table and that means the whole setup of your furniture is wrong. These are largely harmless examples. People under strain will also hurt themselves and others. Cornered animals bite. And it doesn't heal the bite to go "Hey, are you okay?" But it might get you to an animal that stops biting, so you can start to heal. And before you had an animal that bit, you probably had an animal that kept doing shit you didn't understand as stress signals

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

what's your favorite of these sword-related actions/plot devices... 🎤

gifting someone a sword (especially as significant gesture e.g. betrothal gift)

drawing someone else's sword from the scabbard suddenly and without permission

using someone else's sword as a way to remember them after they've passed

you're not worthy of me drawing my sword/it's almost always left in the scabbard

sword with some measure of sentience e.g. ability to jostle/laugh/purr

emotionally significant "may I please borrow your sword" moment

plot-significant sword name change

Remaining time: 2 days 22 hours

[recapitulation]

me, holding Aloy/Kotallo in my hand: I just think they’re neat

Also I like that Kotallo wears little booty shorts under his armor :)

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
