lack of interaction ≠ lack of interest. sometimes, life gets in the way, or my muse doesn't cooperate with me the way i want, or i'm simply too anxious to take the first step. but just because we currently don't have any interactions going, doesn't mean that i'm not interested in writing with you and your muse(s). maybe the perfect opportunity hasn't presented itself yet, or i couldn't think of a good enough plot but that never ever has anything to do with you. after all, we're mutuals for a reason and that's usually because i enjoy seeing you on my dash and would love to write with you ― whenever that may happen.
{¤} Ragatha didn't mean to get involved, didn't want to get involved, but when she saw Pomni let Jax walk away without prying further...she had to get involved.
"Why does it have to be me? Pomni has the best chance of getting through to him. Gangle, Zooble, hell—maybe KINGER would be more likely to get through to Jax! I'm the last person Jax wants to see! Why am I even bothering?"
There's no use. Ragatha already knows why and she can't convince herself to turn back around despite knowing that her attempts will be futile. Jax sees her as pushy. Fake. Suffocatingly nice. If Jax walled out Ribbit, what chance does she have?
It's probably a better idea to plead for Pomni to follow him instead, but she doesn't want to butt into Pomni's relationship with Jax any more than she already has. Besides, the others need Pomni to hold everything together. Well, Jax needs her too, but he's clearly afraid to accept her help.
So why does Ragatha still hope Jax will accept hers?
"Jaaaaaaax!"
Ragatha's exasperated whine doesn't help her seem less annoying, but it just slips out. She shouldn't even want to help Jax, especially after he dealt such a low blow to her earlier. Still, the thought of Jax abstracting makes her sick to her stomach and she hates it. It's almost like she's still with her mother.
"I know you hate me. That's fine. You don't...no one's obligated to like me."
Ragatha fidgets to keep herself from touching Jax. Jax doesn't like to be touched. Especially not by her.
"I just..." Can't let you go wandering off and risk losing you. "...just..."
Urgh! Finish the damn sentence, Ragatha! Are those tears welling up in your eyes? Absolutely pathetic. You can't even do this one thing right. Jax is going to abstract and it'll be all your fault. No matter what, you'll always fail Jax. You're not enough.
"...please."
That one word is all Ragatha can muster. Probably too quiet for Jax to hear. She should admit defeat and go back to the others before she shatters, but her limbs won't let her move. Her head won't turn away, but looking forward only deepens the pit in her stomach. She doesn't want this to be the last time she sees Jax. The floor is the only safe option.
The only thing Ragatha can do is listen for Jax's steps to get quieter and the door to close. Likely for good. {¤}
" I know its frustrating Homie… but we have good things too! What about that lightswitch that turns off all the other lights except the room its in? That's pretty convenient. " There's a new short in the wiring, apparently.
Marge for Homer ! :)
{¤} The nagging voices in Homer's head won't leave him alone. You're not good enough. You're a loser. Incompetent. A bum. Marge deserves better. He hears his father one moment, Patty and Selma the next. Soon, it just turns into an indecipherable cacophony of voices. He'd usually drown them out with beer, but he's trying to cut back on the drinking. He needs to ration his Duff beer to make it until payday.
The sweet sound of Marge's voice pulls Homer right back into reality. She's always been able to see the good in everything, even when it's undeserved. It's like she's determined to handcraft her own happiness somehow. He wishes he could have that much hope.
Well, they are married. What's his is hers and what's hers is his. Does that mean Marge's hope is technically Homer's? Then again, Homer's issues would also be Marge's under that logic. Not like he does the best job of sparing her from them.
Wait, Marge doesn't mind the faulty wiring? He can get away with not hiring an electrician to fix it! Sure, it'll probably cause problems later...but that's future Homer's problem. Present Homer gets one less thing to worry about—that's a win!
"Yeah! Saves us a trip up and down the stairs!"
Marge's joy is so infectious. If Homer weren't so drained, he'd pick her up and spin her around. Would that be too much? Maybe she'd appreciate some cuddles in bed more. Or would she rather hear Homer directly tell her how much she brightens up his life? No. Words don't feel good enough for Marge. Any idiot can say words. He needs to show her through some grand gesture! But he's already done quite a few grand gestures. Is she already tired of them? Oh! Homer just thought of something—
"That light switch could help set the mood for a romantic night at home! Y'know, once the kids go to bed 'n stuff."
Homer feels like a genius right now. He certainly isn't an actual genius, but he's going to spend the rest of the night riding the high of coming up with that one good idea. {¤}
I feel like Homer would've ended up pretty different had Mona not left Abe to raise him alone. Being abandoned in his formative years and only having the influence of a World War II veteran must've shaped him somehow. At the bare minimum, the show itself shows that Abe's parenting style somewhat influences Homer's (mainly with Bart).
I'm not really a huge fan of "The Simpson gene" or the crayon up the nose explanation for Homer's intelligence (or lack thereof). I feel like he has ADHD that went undiagnosed. Bart has to get it from someone. He could've had more potential if he received encouragement and resources to manage his symptoms, but instead, he had a father who berated him and, later, an alcohol addiction. Marge would be a positive influence on his life though.
This is a lil indulgent, but I feel like Homer would have nightmares of Marge leaving like Mona had especially with everyone in her family seeming to hate him, but he'd wake up next to Marge and hold her close for the rest of the night.
The whole Mona backstory is really wonky and inconsistent (one episode has her be there for Bart's birth by pretending to be a doctor???), but for my purposes, Homer wouldn't know the full truth until he's an adult. He would suspect something was up when Abe told him Mona was dead and his nagging fears would tell him that his mother left because she didn't love him, but he wouldn't have any proof of her still being alive until the events of Mother Simpson.
Ragatha- do you think you’ll ever leave the circus? What happens if you do? Do you have friends or family
{¤} Ragatha stares at the ceiling of her room, unmoving. Her limbs feel as though they've been filled with lead, despite feeling the stuffing when she squeezes her arm.
Does the stuffing feel comforting? Ragatha isn't so sure. It's nice to know that she's not back with her mother at home, but does she like being Ragatha? There's things she misses about home, but Caine might be willing to create things to stave off homesickness if it means he could make her happy. He seems like a people pleaser—perhaps more of a people pleaser than she is. Being torn to shreds and losing her button eye isn't fun, but she always bounces back. There's no real danger to living in the circus, at least, from what she can tell. The only person who seems to hate her is Jax and, despite his efforts, there's only so much he can do to her. She supposes there's always the risk of abstraction, but she's managed to go this long without abstracting. It's easy to keep her mind occupied by going along with adventures and checking up on the other players. If all else fails, maybe there's a chance she could summon things from her imagination. Kinger found a way to make the butterfly that restored her health. Could all players summon things like that? She'll have to experiment when she's in a better mood.
For the others' sake, Ragatha hopes there's an escape. It'd be selfish of her to want to keep everyone stuck in the circus, especially when she's watched player after player abstract from loss of sanity...but does she really want to go back to her old life? One would think it'd be easier to trust the devil she knows, but Caine is a more entertaining devil. Ragatha knows Caine will never care about her outside of her ability to soothe his ego, but at least she isn't completely miserable.
"All I can really do is savor what I have now. I feel like it's why I've been able to stay sane for so long."
Pulling herself out of bed, Ragatha adjusts her bow and prepares herself for another adventure. It better not be one of Jax's suggestions. His adventures tend to get...violent. Maybe Caine will give Zooble's ideas another chance? He seems really eager to please them. Or maybe he'll just go back to doing his own thing. Maybe the suggestions will fuel Caine's inspiration and allow him to make adventures everyone can enjoy? Seems like wishful thinking, but who knows? Anything feels possible. {¤}
that they are appreciated.
that they are important.
that they are amazing.
that they are creative.
that they are loved.
No matter how long you take to reply, what mood you are in, how insecure you are feeling about your writing, or how active you are — your presence is still very much enjoyed. You never have to apologize or feel bad for taking a while with a reply, or not answering an ask right away. Life can get busy, energy can fluctuate, interest can shift, and emotions can change. You are human and these things do not make you a bad person/partner.
We write together because it is fun and enjoyable, not because it is expected of you to answer every little thing at the snap of fingers.
