I ... I don't like girls.
followups etc..(based on anthology previews again) i feel insane atmmmm
what if your name was ryland grace and you had like one friend that you got dinner with once a week (at the same time at the same restaurant in the same booth where you order the same exact thing every week btw) (btw you live on a huge fuckoff big boat now and your phone is 10000 years old so you probably have to message her on a public computer that you share with 384747392664 naval officers and scientists and hr reps and security team members and government officials and whoever else. using fuckinnnnn facebook messenger or whatever. if you're still in touch at all) and that was the only meaningful positive not solely work-related social interaction you really had aside from the gaggle of middle schoolers you teach and maybe the occasional staff lounge chat. and your peers all find you grating or standoffish or childish and you're someone everyone has to "get used to" and you keep putting your foot in your mouth when you're having important conversations and many people in your new (boat) home do actually like you or find you maybe. endearingly strange but almost no one is actually properly close to you. and then the people you HAVE grown to trust deeply over the last few YEARS you've been working closely with one another yeah man they've been making life-altering decisions for you behind your back that they're saying are for your own benefit and the greater good. is that cool or what. and also you very literally have no life outside of your work and you have strong emotional responses to everything and you can't shut the fuck up about star trek or all the cool fun facts you know and you keep getting so absorbed in exciting science things that you forget to sleep for several days on end without even realizing it and the first person you really truly connect with for real this time is an alien from actual outer space that communicates atypically (for reason of he is an alien.) and you help save all of humanity but you still feel more at home the day you leave humanity behind forever than you ever did when you were living among other human beings. what then man. what then huh
Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.
What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.
What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...
What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..
Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself
Maybe it's my aroace-spec ass but in this fandom especially, when I say I "ship" something, I'm more so saying I enjoy the characters' dynamic. Aaaaaand that dynamic is pretty often not romantic or sexual in my mind.
We have got to tell kids about discharge in basic sex ed man. Sure finding some suspicious white/clear Slime in your underwear isn't as automatically alarming as finding blood but it's still pretty fuckin weird
STRAIGHT UP there is a darkness inside of me and i literally can’t stop it from devouring me and every fucign thing around me waaaaait nevermind nevermind. I felt a cramp lol. ok nevermind it’s fine actually we’ll be fine
soooo something happened with my hot water heater and also probably my pipes while i was gone, so my basement is flooded, and now i'm gonna have. a mystery probably thousands of repairs. and until i do that. i have. no running water.
i am going to go to bed crying, and i expect to wake up the same way.
i am not having. a good time.
