icon for the town of Ashburn, VA. I remember it as an endless map of townhouses (I once had a dream that as i walked around the square I used to live in, new houses kept revealing themselves, as if I was walking along a dimension I couldn't comprehend.).
I only learned that it was the data center capital of the world years after moving away. I also only realized a little bit ago why the sky felt so unnervingly open: there's no telephone poles! Everything's connected by underground cables.

the thing that Gets me about michael and ash’s relationship is that it is built on complete trust and almost perfect honesty. like for two people so deeply traumatised and hurt and with voq literally trying to kill michael and the impact that has on her, their relationship shouldn’t work. but it does because they have unshakeable faith in each other and (generally) don’t hide how they feel or what they’re struggling with and because they know exactly how much the other has been hurt and they always try to respond with empathy and patience. they are each others tether!!!!!!
