Little things about the mechs:

Ashes doesn't breathe. Not really: their metal lungs do their job, but there's no rise and fall of the chest, no inhale or exhale.

Brian's heart still beats. It's faint, but in a quiet moment, the dull thump thumping of it echos through his metal body.

In contrast, Jonny's mechanical heart ticks, ever so slightly. It's rare he sits still or quiet enough for others to notice, but even as he lies dead, there's that little clicking noise.

Yes, Nastya's blood is cold, but it's also heavy. Unless she's making an effort, her steps are louder than they should be. She can't jump as high as the others, either.

Ivy often feels like she's running a fever. Her brain, constantly running, makes her forehead warm to the touch.

Tim has a very wide peripheral vision. He can practically see behind him without turning his head - sneaking up on him is no small feat.

When standing, Raphaella leans forward, in order to compensate for the weight of the large wings on her back. As such, her posture often gives the impression of a bird about to take flight, and it's hard to be sure when she's about to dart off.

The Toy Soldier has a habit of adopting habits and mannerisms from people it meets. This is, for the most part, unconscious; it subtley alters its performance as its perception of what Being Real shifts moment by moment.

The joints in Marius' arm bend and turn more than they should. He sometimes accidentally flings his arm open wider than he intends, hitting what-or who-ever is next to him.

Enjoy the little things. 🎶

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

'fairies dont exist' WRONG❗❗cyerce elegans

the 'what if you played it a little risky' post literally Changed my life but i cant fujkign find it in my blog because its. a tiktok screenshot

hate when you find a character whose so infuriatingly Your Type that its embarrassing like yeahg no one is gonna be surprised when i announce this is my new Guy Of The Month

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

a lot of YA and fantasy stuff has always been a little cringe and silly but at least it used to be cringe from the heart instead of designed in a lab to get teens on tiktok to use a certain sentence from it

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

we'll do fine.

my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

There's no such thing as overpreparing for love.

Happy (late) Rarijack Valentine's.
