Being able to see flickers of happier versions of yourself from different timelines while you're going through hell is an... interesting experience.

Might write or make something from this idea. Idk.

[ziyahisontheinternetagain]

I am sad and offended that there are only three fics with Matilda Wormwood and the X men. Does no one else see the vision?? 😭😭

[valtsv]

it's rotten work, but without the rot nothing can grow

[valtsv]

it's rotten work but decay is an essential part of the cycle of death and rebirth

[ziyahisontheinternetagain]

This goes into the list as well

[problemnyatic]

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

[beeezah]

OP i hope its okay to reblog with your additions bc they are good

[problemnyatic]

not only is it okay, I think i'd like that very much, thank you.

[ziyahisontheinternetagain]

The dead does not remember.

That's the living's job.

That's why spirits are the way they are.

They don't remember why they died or how they lived.

All they know is that they're dead.

All they know is their anger

"It gets better" Everyone says

And I wonder if they truly believe their words

"It gets better" The poet says,

Her voice strained from forcing out melodies when the people asked her for more than she can give, and earning less than what can feed her for a week.

"It gets better" The soldier says,

His body bruised and burned from wars that are not his. His face tired from battles that see no end in sight.

"It gets better" The king says,

Days before he was beheaded by his own people that he loves dearly. Despite the chaos, his expression calm as if he's at peace with what's to come.

"It gets better" I say.

Even tho I believed more that the sky is green more than the words that came out of my mouth.

I am not as well spoken as a poet,

I am not as strong as a soldier,

Nor am I as wise as a king.

And if none of them believed their words, how can I?

"It doesn't get better"

Those words are uttered by the town's lunatic. Their jumbled mind clearing for a short moment, but enough to try and comfort the chaos in mine.

"It doesn't get better"

They repeat, seeing the confusion clear in my eyes.

"We're the ones who grew stronger"

They offer me a smile, odd but genuine

"It's true! It rained stones a week ago. Smaller than pebbles, but stones nonetheless! Then it happened again a few days after! This time bigger! The stones grows in size everytime it rains nowdays, it's quite concerning. We can try to avoid it, yes, but we can't avoid it forever now, can we? No, no, no. There are days where that's not an option. Sometimes we need to brave the rain despite the bruises it gives us. It hurts, yes, but it's better than never leaving your house. Besides! It doesn't always rain. Sometime the sun clears up again and the frogs on the trees will bark again. We should cherish those moments. Sometimes we're too fixated on the rain that we forget to smell the fishes. Such a shame, such a shame. Would you like to smell mine?" They pull out a fish from under their hat and offer me to smell it

"Uh... no...no thank you" I politely decline. I expect them to be offended but instead they just shrug and put the fish away with a smile "Oh well, more for me. Oh! But do remember what I just told you! Don't be so focused on the rain and stones. You'll miss out on the chance to talk with the ducks if you do." The lunatic walked away with a pep in their step. As insane as they are, their words gave me an odd sense of comfort.

What if the secrets of the universe/future is out there but it's written on wattpad with multiple typos and grammar errors with no paragraph spacing?

[quaranmine]

as my final thought before i go to bed and then disappear off tumblr for the whole day tomorrow in order to avoid limited life spoilers, i leave you with something about watcher grian in the traffic series.

specifically, this ask from martyn regarding watchers feeding on negative energy.

i'm not focusing on the feeding aspect so much as i am about how martyn says "[grian's] chaotic / mischievous nature actually takes the edge off for a lot of players. Helping them revel in the twists and turns, adopting a more 'the games the game' mindset actually sours the soup so to speak." this is in reference to the watchers feeding on negative energy, and implying that grian disrupts that by trying to make people have fun.

and somehow. THIS HAS JUST BEEN SITTING IN MY MIND FOR DAYS. it's the way that grian isn't, at least at this point, able to break them out of the games, but he is able to cause the watchers annoyance and disrupt their plans. it also dovetails very nicely between the rp "this is a death game loop everyone is trapped in" and the irl "this is a game the creators choose to participate in."

it's a death game but grian's there, smile on his face and pain behind his eyes, trying to coax everyone into having as much of a good time as they can instead.

we also tend to view a lot of grian's more....violent and chaotic incidents in the traffic series as a flaw or negative trait when we do more serious-readings of the series. but this concept, and martyn's wording of "helping [the players] revel in the twists and turns of the game" really imply otherwise. sure, grian kills gleefully and takes a lot of joy in causing trouble, but he is far from the only one. if everyone is encouraged to have fun making traps and scheming, giving in to some of these worse desires--and they are and they do--then they're actively going against the watcher's expected outcomes. they all die in the end, either way. if they can take some fun from dropping tnt minecarts on each other, then at least they died AND pissed off the watchers right?

idk idk it's the tiny bit of control over a hopeless situation that's getting me with this. martyn notes that grian is consistently been an annoyance to the watchers and they haven't been able to stop him, but grian is also clearly unable to stop the death games. (of course the meta reason is the CCs like making them, but from an rp standpoint he would gave ended it by now if it were an easy task.) it's like a stand-off. he can keep causing them problems. they can keep the games going. he can't break everyone out of the games, but he can ensure the games don't go the way they want them to. the players in the games don't have much control over their situation, but if they can find some fun in not taking it so seriously, then that's just a tiny bit more control that they have.

so it's just....a watcher!grian doing the best he can in a bad situation. finding a bright spot in it and trying to make others enjoy it too. and thus the traffic series is goofy and silly, filled with laughter that covers and undercurrent of despair.

grian and scar laughed while they fought in the cactus ring in 3rd life, remember?

[ziyahisontheinternetagain]

This is canon. None of you can convince me otherwise
