Same DTI anon... in Ethan’s defense I just want to say: you made him do those horrible things. He's an innocent in all of this.
Hey - it was all plausible. lol But there was growth all around, and in my mind - that's what it's all about! :)
Thanks again.

It occurs to me that, as an American, I probably won’t get to watch the last Ghosts episode ever on Christmas. And I’m kind of ok with not seeing it for a while. I got my Button House archives book, so I feel like I have something to look forward to still.

Anyone else ever have problems prioritizing what to clean/organize?
Like, my room will be a mess and I need to clean it but then for the next hour I’ll be organizing my folders in my computer and going through my photos and shit like that.

The OBELISK Cometh
Gentle Readers,
The Time has Come. We endeavour, in Light of Crushing Defeats and Curious Happenings, to build a Respectable TWO-TONNE OBELISK. It is a Grave and Crucial Task, to be Sure. It is not to be Undertaken Lightly; We must proceed with Great Caution to ensure the TWO-TONNE OBELISK does all it is Meant to do, Insofar as it will Soothe my Pains at the Hands of the Fraudulent Secret Book-seller.
#mimetics#that's right i am giving you a chance to DELAY the inevitability of the obelisk.#this action will have consequences*#*i have not considered the consequences.

What's the deal with DTI anyway??
Lol Newcomers are like WTF is going on here? lol
DTI, or Delaying the Inevitable, was a LONG series I wrote when I first came to the fandom. It was an Ethan x Casey x Tobias triangle that became a bit controversial because (spoilers below)
I had Casey end up with Tobias. lol Ethan stans were displeased and I got aaa lllooottt of hate anons at the time. Back then, I cared, today I am like 🤷🏻♀️.
My initial plan was to write 3 endings, one where she chose Ethan, one where she chose Tobias, and one where she moved away from Boston, leaving both men behind. But as the story progressed, I realized having her take Ethan back after what transpired in the story did not make sense for my character, but more importantly, I got a ton of anons from women who either left or were considering leaving emotionally abusive relationships thanking me for writing the story. I was also (HORRIFYING) getting anons saying Ethan could do anything and Casey should forgive him because he was “damaged.” In the year of our Lord 2024?! (Well it was 2021 then, but same thing.) 😂 yeah, the feminist, girl power chick in me was like oh fuck no.
I am very proud of the story because all the main characters went throw growth, change, and came out better on the other side… but Casey picked Tobias. And some people are still not happy. lol
Again, 2021 Elsa was all… I am so sorry!
2024 Elsa is all, oh well. 😂
Honestly, I am just shocked that it is still thought of 3 years later. I am kind of proud of that.
Oh, and for the record, I am not an Ethan hater at all. The fandom’s BS Ethan discourse has soured me a bit, but I don’t hate Ethan. I think he is an incredibly complex character and, handled correctly, makes a great LI and for delicious storytelling. But in DTI, he crossed too big a line and he was not ending up w the girl. I said what I said. lol

Your captor finishes the meal you made her, and instructs you to clean the dishes. She lazily gestures with the taser in her hand, her weapon of choice, toward the sink. You stand up and start collecting her dishes, bringing them back to the sink. She doesn’t move from her seat. Stepping close to her makes you nervous, but she just watches you calmly. You turn on the water and pick up a plate to start washing it, and-
You feel her footstep behind you, and before you can startle, her left arm is around your chest, groping you, and you feel the hard plastic of the taser jamming sharply into your hip. You tense up and grip the plate tightly, frozen in place.
Softly in your ear, she says “Go ahead and start cleaning now, little love.”
“Please don’t tase me right now…”
“Mmm, why’s that?” She shifts a little, nestling you in her arms a bit tighter.
“I don’t want to drop a plate, and the taser might make me.” You try not to show any fear that might entice her to hurt you.
Her voice immediately drops to a stern, harsh tone, much louder but still just as close to your ear. “If you break one of my dishes, I will fucking kill you.” She grabs you much tighter, and you hear and feel the taser’s safety click off. You make a barely contained whine and twitch as if she really had pressed the button.
You speak in a much higher, more whimpering voice, taking quick shallow breaths. “Well then, please don’t tase me, because I don’t want to die-” You gulp and take a few more quick breaths, and try to shift your voice to a less pitiful and more “nervously trying to appear as best buds with someone who wants you dead” tone. “I don’t think you want me to die either- right? You want to keep me around and not have me get all gross and rotten- plus I couldn’t do chores for you if I was dead, and if you kept me around after that, I’d be another chore for you, right? Like, keeping my corpse-” the thought of yourself as a corpse, and the fact that you’re talking about it as a very real possibility stops you in your tracks for a moment. You gulp again. “Like keeping my corpse from getting messy, or spraying perfume on it for the smell, or… Stuff like that…” Your voice is shaky. Your head hangs down. You don’t dare look back at her face, because the tear rolling down yours would have her excited and pushing you to the floor, plate be damned. You wait for a response.
“Eh, I guess you’ve convinced me. Carry on.” She doesn’t turn the safety back on. Your hand shakes as you reach for the dish soap, and you start scrubbing the plate in your hand. It’s finished and you move to put it on the drying rack, but freeze for just a moment, thinking fast. If the only reason she’s not tasing you is because you’ll drop a dish, what happens when you aren’t holding one? Time resumes, and you grab another dirty dish before putting the clean plate down. Did she just exhale? Was she thinking the same thing as you?
You’ve repeated the process a few more times, with her hand on you the whole time and without ever forgetting about the taser. Now you’re holding a plate with just silverware left to wash. Nobody cares about dropped silverware, you probably shouldn’t put down this plate. You figure out a way to hold the silverware with the plate hand, and scrub it with the other, and you repeat this process for the rest of the silverware. You figure whatever ran off the silverware might have dirtied the plate again, so you wash it once more. You hope she lets go and finds something else to do now that your task is done. You still hold the last plate as everything else is drying.
“Okay, I finished…”
“Thank you, darling,” she says with a squeeze from her hand. “Go ahead and put down the plate now.”
You don’t move. She says again, in that same sweet tone, “Go on.”
“I can’t…”
“How come, little lady?” Saccharine. She has to have been thinking the same thing as you this whole time. No point in playing a game at this point.
“I know what happens when I put it down…”
“Aww, I’m sure you do, clever doll.” Her voice loses some of its comforting sweetness. “Put it down.”
“Please-”
Her voice switches all the way again. “Put it down. Now.”
You reluctantly slide the plate between the bars of the drying rack. You shut your eyes tight. You bring your arms back to your body, wrapped around your own stomach, comforting and bracing yourself.
#princncess writing#this isn’t gender neutral btw reader gets called “lady”#considered writing the scene where she either tases you or lets go without doing anything#but i think that this being the end point is best#because the important part isn’t really about what happens at the end#the story isn’t about that#it’s about that fear and desperately delaying the inevitable

the main difference between dick and tim is that dick believes in bruce as the man who took him in and passed on his moral beliefs and values to him, while tim believes in batman as a concept and idea
#dick: bruce raised me! he's a good man but wearing the cowl is like a burden that broke him!#if i become batman then the curse will pass to me too :\#meanwhile tim: batman is the great protector of gotham but bruce is only human#and when he's broken. he turns batman into something dirty and bad#all we can do for him is delay the inevitable moment when he goes down#(only dick and cass are able to wear the mantle because they're perfect🥰🥰🥰)#also i'm broken too ;) and jason. and jean-paul. and *snorts* damian#dick grayson#tim drake#dick & tim#bruce wayne

ed: "let's go slow"
fandom, probably right: the boys are being healthy and communicating well
me, lover of drama: nah Ed's just fucked up by what Mary said that once the mystery and spark is gone all that's left is resentment and fury so he's trying to draw it out bc some part of him still believes stede will leave again and prove once and for all that he is eternally unloveable
#our flag means death#our flag means death spoilers#ofmd#ofmd spoilers#do i actually think this is where the show is going? no#do i sort of wish it was? yeah kinda#moreso something i hope fic explores#ed desperately trying not to fuck stede#in the hopes it will further delay their inevitable decay as a couple#i do not believe edward teach could accurately assess a healthy boundary to save his life#gentlebeard
