I haven’t taken like. a real vacation since 2021 unless you count the road trip I did with my ex which I don’t because of all the problems with me at that time. What if I just did the mind palace Mexico roadtrip like drive all the way from ny state to guadalajara. I do love to drive places in my car sometimes
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
The key to writing rictor and shatterstar as toxic codependent yuri is to realize that neither of them will ever be able to fully believe that the other truly loves them (rictor because he’s too insecure and ‘star because he’ll never feel like he can trust his interpretation of rictor’s actions. Due to his nature. man who acts the most sure in his actions and statements has the most doubt about them. You know how it is) but they each believe they will never find anyone they want more than the first person they ever did so they keep getting back together. like. they each believe this is as good as it’s going to get. and I have two ideas for an ending (one good one and the other evil) so if I write this I’m leaving it ambiguous which actually happens. probably by writing two canon “epilogues” that spell out the alternate endings and and coexist with each other as equal possibilities in the canon
thinking about rictor and star visiting ric's hometown in mexico from the pov of people who knew him growing up and his family. like you went to school with the kid of the local gunrunner. halfway through high school he fucks off for several years and then just shows back up one day with a random white boy in tow and they stop a robbery and just dip. or like, you're ric's mom and he brings this seven foot tall slightly unnerving boy home with him and is just like. yeah his name is shatterstar. he's american. he's my best friend. no further questions. said boy has swords and he makes an unnerving amount of eye contact and has an accent you can't identify but he speaks excellent spanish. and you feed them and they leave and then spend the next several months systematically dismantling your family's gunrunning operation. then he and your son disappear. insane.
or. I can construct a persona but it’s not charming or cool in fact it’s somewhat worse than my real self but it gets things done you feel me
I think my problem fundamentally is I think in general the way people attract each other both romantically and platonically is by constructing a persona that's cool enough that other people will want to hang out with you and the people you get close with are the ones who you feel like you'd like to shed the persona around but my problem is I can't construct a persona that's cool at all. What you see is what you get you know. I have to be what I am because its the only way I know how to be
