Rugsnatcher appears in a haze of hissing hydro-helium, staff in hand. Her gaze is more steady, more focused, than Rosie has ever seen it. She clashes against a security guard with a saber as if wood and bone cannot be cut, blocks her at her hilt, forces her to change her grip on her weapon and pause long enough to be swept aside at her knees. Rugsy leaves her and keeps running. Her wild jangly laughter keeps no secrets. It’s a taste of everything she’s ever dreamed of. Not what she was made for, but what she was born for.

This bit (in “Painting the Roses Red”) is probably the first canon intimation--now at a point of things where she’s found her footing in Bell Town--of something that I want to REALLY sink some teeth into in parts of vol. 2 and especially in vol. 3, that Rugsy has this thing she sees in herself and that other people see in her of being a Destined Warrior, this sense that everything she’s been through in her life so far was leading up to the fight for liberation. Not to be painfully pretentious on main but like, thinking about leftist literary theory and critique plus stories that make me personally feel things and why they make me feel things...I want to ask this question, does she have a destiny, and sort of complicate it and problematize it (SC is a very anti-chosen-one narrative, but saying a person has a particular niche in the broader struggle they were always meant to fill is different from saying they’re a sole savior) while still creating these moments that charge the blood. Because I think the idea of having a destiny can really mess a person up, but it also has been behind people who have inspired millions (usually younger people--I think of Joan of Arc and Julia Butterfly Hill first when I think of destiny-driven historical heroes) so clearly it means something to us, as human beings, and maybe people don’t “get it” until they see it or feel it for themselves. Like Lux, Rugsy’s arc includes a lot of wrestling with The Legend vs the person, but I think this scene really shows why The Legend isn’t entirely negative.

Uhhh.....wait a second wtf....so Cheryl and Jason Blossom are twins, right? Jason faked his death on the fourth of July, before his sophomore year, which usually the birthday cut-off for going into the next grade is in August, so he couldn't be 16, making him 15. Jason drove him and Cheryl to Sweet Water River. Since he's most likely 15, he would maybe have his permit. With a permit, you can only drive with another licenced driver. Cheryl is his twin sister so she couldn't have been a licenced driver. Jason Blossom was driving illegally.

So...how did Eurus lock up Mycroft in her cell when her cell didn’t have any glass?

#HighThoughts

its truly hard to tell if you like someone sometimes. like do you like them just because they like you? or is it cuz you like the way they treat you? or is it cuz they make you happy? why do we like someone? do you think its cuz we think we can get something out of it? are we that selfish? or are we that arrogant that we think we will make their lives better? theres no right answer i guess. everyone kinda decides for themselves what feels right for them. 

im scared im being selfish. im scared of not hurting myself but hurting someone else, at least for the moment. I want to explore this and Im not sure it could work but i think its okay that I go with the flow and just see where this takes me. im allowed to be happy too right? i want to figure this out. i wish i could see the future and see whats the best path to take but i guess i shouldnt dwell on things that are impossible.

Ughhh

Anytime I complement somebody and they get all supper happy and nice, I actually start to *shake* or *shiver* bc I'm actually so scared and nervous about someone being happy towards me. Like, I love making people's days and all. But sometimes I just over think the GOOD things too. Me: *oh god they are actually happy and being really nice to me for being nice to them and I'm so not used to it that I don't even know how to react so I'm just going to shiver out all my excitement and adrenaline out of my body omg why do I feel so wired right now I probably look lost or stupid* "okay have a nice day thanks!" .....yay? :S
