Sami seemed to strike a big nerve with Jey last night

Real big fan of robots and monsters and aliens btw in case u couldn't tell.

And a trope I Hate is forced humanization, in general. If a non human character is supposed to become connected to humankind, then fine. It's not atrocious on it's own. I don't care.

What I do care about is when they're belittled for not being "human enough" in a "weird way". Like, yeah, maybe the alien that doesn't celebrate birthdays is strange to the protagonist. They don't have to call them out on it. The alien doesn't have to be seen at the end celebrating their birthday to solidify how human they've become.

If you want it to happen have it happen gradually. Have them become curious about it, and find out they actually like the customs they're not used to yet. Aliens finding pleasure in a playground, monsters enjoying food they'd never gotten to taste before, and robots discovering they genuinely like watching TV. Whatever!

Just work around their differences, make it be gradual, and not born from the main, human cast making fun of them or pointing out how weird they are for not liking X thing. And for the love of god, don't make "Becoming Human uwu" the center of their story. It's so... Heartbreaking. Bleak, even.

hi. saint spell luca michaelides. you agree.

prev snippet

___

“I called Bobby, by the way.” he changes the subject again before Eddie can respond and deny that he’s pouting now, which he definitely is, lower lip pushed forward in the most adorable way. Eddie just sighs, which turns into a cough.

“What for?” he manages to croak out.

“To tell him you’re sick and can’t go to work tomorrow.” Buck moves towards the medicine cabinet and pulls out some cough drops, placing them on the table in front of Eddie. “Like I said I would. Don’t argue, you’re staying home and getting better.”

“Ugh, fine.” Eddie responds with less fight than Buck expected. Maybe he’s slowly starting to admit he is, in fact, sick. Or maybe just really wants to finally talk, and is trying to speed it up. Either way, Buck’s not complaining. “But you’re going to work?”

“Yeah, why wouldn’t I?” Buck turns away to check on the soup again, gets a spoon to try it.

“So you’re gonna leave me here all alone?” Eddie sighs dramatically, and Buck chuckles again. 

“You’ll live. I’ll come here straight after. And-” he turns back towards Eddie. “I’m gonna stay the night and get Christopher to school tomorrow, too. Just so you can rest and really recover. Don’t fight me on this, you won’t win this one.” he says, half-teasing, and sees Eddie’s face melt into gratitude and so much love, now full on display, likely also tired of hiding it.

“You can stay forever.” he says so earnestly it takes Buck’s breath away. He wants nothing more than to stay here forever, in Eddie’s home, by Eddie’s side, with him and Christopher, the two halves of his heart.

Existing is hard, I’m tired of this shit.

Ken immediately shielding this complete stranger when he sees a "scary unmarked black truck car" pull up. My goddamn sweetheart.

Both have the same energy. No I shall not elaborate any further.

"Buck? Come back to bed." "I forgot to get my meds yesterday, of course I did so I haven't been able to sleep at all in the last 24 hours. I'm exhausted but my mind won't fucking turn off. Stupid pharmacy not being open after 5 PM. Fuck," he curses. Eddie squeezes his hand and replies softly, "We'll go pick them up before our flight. In the meantime, let me scratch your back and sing you a song." Buck nods and it feels like his heart is going to combust. He climbs back into bed and sighs in relief when Eddie begins to gently scratch his back. "Just focus on my words, okay?" Eddie starts to sing a Spanish lullaby Buck vaguely recognizes and he drifts into sleep before the song ends. Eddie falls asleep soon after with a smile resting on his face. They end up both dreaming of how it'd be like to be together as if they don't already act like they're dating.

yes the 8 strength jokes are funny but on the other hand the ones in bg3 with 8 strength are a wizard who self isolated in a tower for a year, a vampire spawn rogue consistently underfed by his master, and a warlock who I assume was more durance trained than for pure strength and who has definitely been banking more on his eldritch powers for the last seven odd years so like. yeah.

fanfiction writers just love taking out that eye huh?

I really want Phil first stream back on the qsmp after his character getting kidnapped to be on friday :) for a single and very selfish reason:

I have the day off from work this friday :)

Introducing people to vampire the masquerade feels the same as taking your friends to your slightly bigoted grandparents house. The food itself is good, just ignore the conversation happening over dinner.

Despite not knowing if he was still drunk, Josh was left with a passed out Billy in his arms.
