Green Dreams

[celendiar]

highkey in love with the idea that when it comes to their relationship, charles and edwin are the complete opposites of their usual behaviour.

charles, normally with zero impulse control or patience, is so so so careful and attentive with edwin, concerned about doing it all just right, spending hours planning their dates and content to take it all slow

meanwhile edwin, normally prim and proper and patient and self-disciplined, has repressed his wants and needs and feelings for 100+ years and now that he no longer has to?? he has no fucks left to give and will kiss charles senseless whenever he damn well wants to

[pandorem]

Love the fact that literally every single person I have watched Dead Boy Detectives with or seen watch it start Edwin’s confession with “NOW?!?!? WAIT TIL YOU’RE SAFE!!!!!” and then almost immediately pivot to “oh, of course you had to do this now and leave the last of your self doubts and internalized homophobia in hell, I’m so sorry King, carry on”.

[coloursflyaway]

The thing that gets me about Charles' response to Edwin's confession is that that is not a man saying no, that is a man saying "I love you the most in every other aspect of my life. Give me time to find out if, maybe, I can love you the most in this one, too."

They are so mystery gang coded, someone get these kids a dog

[callme-cjv]

edwin would 100% die from reading niko's manga collection.

[groceryshoppingwithaghost]

what if I was slowly dying of internal bleeding and hypothermia and you stayed with me and read to me. Because you know I'm dying and you don't want me to be alone and scared (like you were). And what if I chose You, instead of heaven?

They said “this is Edwin. He’s a repressed gay Edwardian teen who was ritually sacrificed by the guy who had a crush on him. His super power is he gets tortured so good even Despair thinks he’s neat.”

Then they threw him at tumblr like a wedding bouquet

Only friends has ended last week. I don't usually write reviews, but this series left some STRONG impressions.

Disclaimer: Everything below is a personal opinion. No shade or disrespect towards people with differing thoughts on the matter. Let's agree to disagree :)

So...I wanted to like the finale, but it left serious mixed feelings.

I get it, 12 episodes, and 7 main characters. Something had to give, but still...felt like a lot of interesting plot points were dropped, rushed, or discarded entirely (would have liked to see more of TopMew chemistry and romance, would have liked to learn more about Sand and his dad) but for me, that's not the biggest pet peeve.

The biggest wtf part for me turned out to be the characters.

Mew turned out to be a judgemental asshole with some serious holier then though vibes. Turned from feelings neutral about him to being annoyed.

Top...meh. Felt nothing for him at the start, feel about the same towards the end. Shame. Maybe just not my type of character.

Cheum and April are barely there. April is a prop. Cheum is a judgemental asshole, that likes to play the group mom, when in reality, she is anything but. Pretends to be more important, than she actually is. Sad. (Her refusal to call her brother out for falsely accusing a person of SA and failing to recognise her mistake was the final straw).

Ray...complex character. Initially was very invested in his development, but he kinda regresses back in the last two episodes in my opinion. The scene in the pool left me fuming. Why talk to your boyfriend, like an adult, when you can emotionally jerk him around with his ex there two, right? Peak emotional growth. Sorry, I didn't find it cute or sexy. Uncomfortable as hell.

Sand started out as my favorite character. Still is, but last two episodes dampened my excitement a little bit. There is a difference between being empathetic and forgiving towards the person you love and then there is letting them walk all over you. Sand has walked the line perfectly between the two, but episode 11 and 12 said f that. Dignity? We don't know her. Yeah...I didn't find that line 'I'm a dog, but at least my master loves me' cute either. Your 'master' seems to love you while you're good, and when that stops being the case...well. Case in point, the pool scene. It's just... I would have liked to see him fight this 'battle' with Boeing himself and not let Ray 'handle' it. It would have been a pretty big step for him towards realizing his worth. But alas...

They were cute at the end, and I enjoyed those happy scenes, but... It was a sweetness with a sour aftertaste.

Boston has started out as an annoying, but entertaining agent of chaos, and then turned out to be one of the most sympathetic characters in the entire show that got dealt a shitty hand and then was turned into a scape goat and conveniently shuffled out of the finale. So, what have we learned? That slut shaming is okay, because it is not narratively punished in any way and if you're an asshole and a 'slut', then suffer, bitch! Recorded without consent while having sex? Accused of SA? Well, you have your own promiscuity to blame. No apologies necessary, kindly f off to New York now. Yeah... that was wild.

Nick's whole personality revolved around Boston, and as he left the narrative, Nick also mysteriously disappeared. It was nice, that he was the only one to truly understand Boston, but writers never ran with it completely, so...meh.

Anyway, final thoughts. A wild ride! Worth watching at least once. It had some really powerful moments, amazing acting from EVERYONE and chemistry for days. But also had moments that left a pretty bad taste in my mouth. Very polarizing but definitely memorable. 7/10.

ECLIPSE INCORRECT QUOTES

because that’s when you know im obsessed with it

(disclaimer: I meant to do this literally two weeks ago but I didn’t think I had enough but I stopped for a bit and my adhd brain promptly forgot about it for a week and then remembered and then forgot for another week, and honestly i meant to actually make this for like a month before that but i didnt actually start finding the quotes until two weeks ago, but it’s fine I’m here now)

Akk: Ayan is a little bitch.  Wat: Why?  Akk: Number one, he’s little. Number two, he’s a bitch.

(episode 1-3 core)

—- —-

Namo: The floor is lava!  Kan: *helps Thua onto the counter*  Akk: *kicks Wat off the sofa*  Ayan: *lays on the floor*  Namo: ...Are you okay?  Ayan: No. 

(im 80% certain this is a deleted scene from the beach episodes)

—- —-

*Akk and Ayan are planning to break in somewhere*  Akk: We need to distract the guards.  Ayan: Right.  Akk: What are we gonna do?  Ayan: I'm gonna break their elbows while you poke their eyes.  Akk:  Ayan:  Akk: Deal.

Akk: I'm going to take a shower, I'll be right back.  Ayan: Why are you telling me this, I don't care.  Ayan, right after Akk leaves the room: I miss him already.

—- —-

Akk: Fuck capitalism. It's a rigged system that keeps us poor and it isn't fair. You shouldn't need to work three jobs to afford basic necessities.  Akk, playing Monopoly: Sorry, if you wanted to win you should have tried not being poor. 

—- —-

Akk: I fell—  Aye: From heaven?  Akk: No, I literally fell—  Aye: In love with me the moment you saw me?  Akk: MY ARM IS BROKEN!  Aye: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest. 

—- —-

Aye: Are we fighting or flirting?  Akk: I'm pinning you against a wall with my hand around your neck-  Aye: Your point?

—- —-

Thua: I want to kiss you.  Kan, not paying attention: What?  Thua: I said if you die, I wont miss you. 

(its okay thua, he's not ignoring you, he has adhd. just kiss him, he'll be happy, trust me)

—- —-

Kan: And now for a gay update with Akk and Aye.  Akk: Getting gayer.  Kan: Thank you, Akk. 

—- —-

Wat: So… I’ve seen you’ve been spending a lot of time with Thua recently.  Kan: No, Wat, it's not what it looks like, I swear.  Wat: Oh really? So no reason for me to be jealous?  Kan: No! You’re the only one for me.  Wat: Is that so?  Kan: I promise! Thua and I are just dating, okay? He’s my boyfriend.  Wat: So there are no best-friends-feelings involved?  Kan: You are still my one and only best friend! He’s just the love of my life, nothing more!  Wat: But I’m still the platonic love of your life, right?  Kan: Of course bro!  Wat: Bro...  Thua: What the- 

—- —-

*at 3am*  Kan: *runs into Akk’s room and turns on the light* Wake up sleepyhead!  Akk: *wakes up* Dude!  Kan: *cackles*  Aye: *sits up from where he was sleeping behind Akk: *What the fuck, Kan? Kan: *jaw drops* Wait WHAT- 

(the original vine is now playing over and over in my head and its probably my favourite vine and its literally them and i love it so much gerjdhgbrh)

—- —-

Kan: This totally sucks, man.  Akk: This is horrible.  Kan: Yeah, I know, I mean look at everything the curse did to those rulebreakers today.  Akk: No, it’s not that, it’s Aye. Akk: It’s just like, I can’t get him out of my head and every time I look at him I have these pains in my chest, and I just know it’s his fault, that bitch! 

(AVPM QUOTE LETS GOOO and yes it is perfection and is exactly canon i take no criticism)

—- —-

Kan: Did Thua just tell me he loved me for the first time?  Akk: Yeah, he did.  Kan: And did I just do finger guns back?  Akk: Yeah, you did. 

(oh you sweet sweet maybe-bisexual man)

—- —-

Aye: *finds a note* Hmm, whats this?  Kan: Hey, that's mine! *tries to grab it*  Aye: Aww, it's a love note for Thua?  Kan: No-  Aye: *opens it*  Aye:  Kan:  Aye: I can't read this. 

(is it because the contents are too explicit to read or because kan's handwriting is awful? you decide)

—- —-

Kan: So are you gonna explain how the hell you crashed my car?  Akk: Well we were driving and there was a deer in the road, so I said "Aye, deer!"  Kan: ...And what did you say?  Aye: ..."Yes, Honey?" 

—- —-

Kan: I love you.  Thua: I love you too. I've waited so long to hear you say that.  *Kan and Thua kiss passionately*  Wat, to Akk: You owe me 20 dollars. 

(HES BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS AND THEY FINALLY DID IT. IMAGINE THE VICTORIOUS FEELING WAT FELT IN THAT MOMENT. NOT TO MENTION THE JOY AT HIS SHIP FINALLY GETTING TOGETHER. BRO IS AS PHENOMENAL AS TIW AND I LOVE HIM SO FREAKING MUCH (someone write a crossover fic where tiw and wat get together and plot their ships' getting together. if someone has already written this, please tell me)

—- —-

Kan: Time sensitive question how flirt boy.  Akk: Throw rocks at he.  Aye: Hot Dogs.  Wat: Kill him.  Kan: Thanks guys. 

—- —-

Kan, trying to sound happy: *about Aye and Thua* They’d make a cute couple, huh? Akk, holding back tears: They certainly are standing next to each other. 

(first few episodes core. specifically when aye is whispering in thua's ear and theyre both just standing to the side watching it happen and completely unaware that this means they are gay and in love with one of them)

—- —-

Thua: I'm so happy, I could kiss you!  Kan: Um...Neat.  *later*  Kan, lying face down on their bed: I said "Neat," Akk. Who the fuck says neat these days? It's not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I'm fucking stupid.  Akk, reading a book: Don't beat yourself up too much, Kan. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Aye confessed his love for me?  Kan: Didn't you thank him?  Akk: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked him. 

—- —-

Kan: How is the most beautiful person in the world?  Thua: *blushing* I—  Aye, butting into the conversation: Akk is perfect, thanks for asking. 

—- —-

Wat: Do you love Kan?  Thua: Yeah, I do.  Wat: Akk! I told you I knew it! You owe me 100 baht!  Akk: We all love Kan. You should've asked if he was IN love with him.  Thua: I thought that was implied.  Akk: ...  Wat: ...  Thua, looking straight at Akk: Congrats Wat, you just won 100 baht. 

—- —-

Akk: Are you trying to seduce me?  Aye: Why, are you seducible? 

—- —-

Aye: Jail is no fun. I’ll tell you that much.  Wat: Oh, you’ve been?  Aye: Once. In Monopoly. 

—- —-

Wat: When I was a kid, Kan told me that the paper strip that’s in the chocolate kisses were edible and I ate them with the chocolate for a year.  Teacher Sani: They are!  Wat: FOR REAL?  Sani: No! Why did you fall for it again? 

—- —-

Thua, on a random band name generator: Oooo! They Might Be Depressed Horses! That about sums up my friend group. 

—- —-

Akk: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.  Ayan: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both. 

—- —-

Ayan: Hey, Akk, what do you think it would be like if we had kids?  Akk: What would it be like? Inconvenient, mostly.  Ayan: No, I mean, what would they be like, the kids? You ever think about it?  Akk: Can't really say I have.  Ayan: You know, for someone as eccentric as yourself, you can be boring as fuck sometimes.  Akk: Sorry, Aye. For what it's worth, I'm picturing them now. A boy and a girl. Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody. 

—- —-

Ayan: Talk dirty to me, baby~  Akk: The dishes.  Ayan: Wh-  Akk: They’ve been there for 4 days and it’s your turn to wash them. You still haven’t cleaned them and I have asked you to do so several times. 

—- —-

Ayan: My hands are cold.  Akk: Here, let me hold them.  Ayan: My lips are cold too. Akk: *covers Ayan's mouth with his hand* 

—- —-

Akk: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake.  Ayan: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear.  Akk: ...  Akk: You mean ring bearER, right?  Ayan: ...  Akk: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding. 

—- —-

Ayan: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.  Akk: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit. 

—- —-

Akk: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy.  Ayan: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep.  Akk: I said within reason, Ayan. How about I murder that guy?  Ayan: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't?  Akk: Well, duh. What kind of question is that? 

—- —-

Ayan: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.  Akk: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.  Ayan: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??  Akk: Is it working? 

—- —-

Akk: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.  Ayan: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.  Akk: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??  Ayan: Is it working? 

—- —-

and now, for my personal favourite...

Ayan: Akk is playing hard to get.  Ayan: Little does he know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of. 

—- —-

that's all for now, but i promise, i will be back

[mortalityplays]

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.

word of honor x stardust 2007 crossover anyone? based on this twitter thread of mine: [link] which you can read for context if you’re unfamiliar with stardust

(…to be continued? 👀)

[moved-to-korrigantsionnach-deac]

I want a story about a king whose son is prophesied to kill him so the king is like “whatever what am I supposed to do, kill my own kid wtf is wrong with you” so he just raises him as normal, doesn’t even tell him about the prophecy, and instead of some convoluted twist of events that leads to the king’s murder the son grows up and when the king is very old and dying and in excruciating pain the kid is just like alright I'mma put him out of his misery.

[femonologue]

The king’s son becomes the new king, and is prophesied to defeat evil and bring an age of prosperity. His generals and knights all crack their knuckles but he pretty much ignores them and focuses on strengthening the infrastructure of his kingdom. Forty years later he is old and sick but still hearing his subjects’ grievances, and a general’s like “how will you defeat the prophesied evil now? You’re old and weak.” Another visitor, a teenager fresh out of the kingdom’s public education system, looks at the general like he is an ignoramus. The king eradicated poverty, housed the homeless, taught the ignorant, ended class exploitation by abolishing the nobility and imprisoning the corrupt, and established a highly respected guild of doctors that recently figured out how to cure the plague. There are no brigands because there is enough wealth for everyone to live comfortably; hiding in the woods and taking trinkets from people simply doesn’t make any sense for anyone but the desperate, and the people are not desperate. Evil is a weed, explains the teenager. It grows in cracked roads and crumbling houses and forgotten corners, rooted in indifference and watered by suffering. But the king demands that broken things be mended and suffering people be made well.

No evil lives in this kingdom, says the teenager. It starved to death before I was born.

Every once in a while, when I’m feeling down, I go and look at the notes on this post and they make me feel a lot better. This is the energy I want to carry into 2018.

Are you doing the prompts? So can I ask one?

❝This pathetic little self-pity part you got going on isn’t going to keep me away.❞

P S: still in love with your works, you know?

A/N: this is a prompt sent in months ago and I’ve just never gotten around to filling it. Seems poignant to do it now. Anon, I’m sorry it took me a hot minute to do it but I reckon the universe was saving this for the right rainy day.

If this comforts you, readers, then I’m glad ❤️

“This pathetic little self-pity party you got going on isn’t going to keep me away.”

Sitting in the dark, Zishu hears the slow, heavy drag of a body sliding down the other side of the locked door. He grips the cloth of his pants, hugging his knees to his chest, trying hard to breathe through the ache and the burn of tears that would not stop flowing.

It hurts.

There’s a buzzing in his ears and his head feels like it could split apart at any moment. Zishu feels all cried out and yet, there is still something left in this unending grief. Helplessness courses through his veins. Rage too, at the injustices. Was it perhaps childish to think so? Was there a purpose to this?

As the darkest whispers begin to curl itself around him again, the gentle voice of his Lao Wen calls him, muffled only by the wood and lock that parts them.

“Ah Xu, I’m not going anywhere.”

“Ah Xu, I’m here.”

Yes, Zishu thinks to himself, he’s here. And all he has to do is open the door for him.

He uncurls from himself, straightening limbs and pushing himself up to his feet. Slowly, with every movement like swimming through molasses, he breathes through the salt of his tears; pulling air into his aching lungs, heart pumping, blinking through the heat on his cheeks.

The lock was easy to undo.

Light from the hallway floods through the darkness and it takes him a moment to adjust. But a moment is enough for his Lao Wen to pull him into the warmest embrace and for him to sink into the comfort and strength of his beloved.

“There you are,” Lao Wen murmurs against the shell of his ear. The sting of new tears prickle at the corners of his eyes and Zishu turns his face to hide away into the soft smell of their detergent on Lao Wen’s clothes and the strong arms wrapped around him.

Zishu relaxes. The tension unspooling in him as a broad hand comes to cup at his nape, fingers playing at his hair.

Here I am found, Zishu thinks. Here I will be.
