au where phoenix is a motorbike/car racer or whatever and miles is an engineer

“okay bestie let me see those motors”

Them: You don't look queer.

Me: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me just get changed..

While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

V.8.0 will have the death ray for sure

Once again frustrated by how Difficult it is to do very basic tasks

so anyway I finished the baby dragon blanket.

this project took me easily over 100 hours to knit, plus 20ish hours to design and create the pattern itself. it's something like 200 stitches across and 250 rows long, with the backing knit directly onto the front panel. the baby I started this for has been born long enough that the parent has finished their parental leave and come back to work already (which I guess means I can easily hand it off after it's blocked?)

I broke the 'don't invent a new pattern for a gift' rule and paid the consequences. I could reasonably have done some research instead of just reinventing techniques, but I had fun and I think this turned out a solid 8/10 which is probably better than I had any right to expect under the circumstances.

Kinda meta but. Satosugu on both ends.

[ ID in ALT ]

Let me elaborate.

Teenagers SatoSugu is the cutest thing ever. They're the only one who are able to catch up with the other. They're the strongest together. They are pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly. They complete each other, they understand each other, they help each other and more importantly, they love each other. No one else can follow the path of Gojo Satoru and makes him feel human other than Suguru. No one else can bring a genuine smile on Geto Suguru's face and makes his life worth living fully other than Satoru. They're the epitome of young exorcists.

Adults Satosugu are the messiest divorced couple ever. Satoru cannot love without consuming entirely the person. Suguru cannot be saved because he's already gone too far. They are soulmates and cannot live without the other. They have been separated for years. They cannot kill each other, they cannot be with each other. They never forgot the other. Their breakup happened eons ago and they still consider the other as their one and only. And they make it everyone else's problem. Because Satoru wasn't able to burn Suguru's body, the Shibuya Incident happened. Because Suguru's memories of Satoru were so strong, Kenjaku was able to make his plan and seal the strongest sorcerer. Every one of their choices and words and actions was just an I love you so fucking loud that it doomed the universe to destruction.

The first days (part 1)

After the portal closed, they walked. They didn't really know where, it's not like either Kai or Bonzle had a map for this dimension, but they kept walking. Kai just hoped they wouldn't randomly meet with on of the forbidden five, or four, since one of them swapped places with Kai after all. He didn't like to admit his own weakness, but if the storys about them were true, then there was no way for Kai to beat the four or even just one of them on his own. Especially when he would probably need to protect Bonzle in a fight as well.

"Do you have a plan?", Bonzle asked, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Find a portal somehow, I guess. Or create a new one. Either way, we should check out how this place works. Aside from the random gravity rules."

Though, to call that a plan was probably to much. More like a general idea to get back to if the chance for it ever comes. Lloyd and the others would be able to deal with the one of the five that escaped, right? So they would be fine eventually, it was all that mattered.

But he wouldn't tell Bonzle that he basically gave up hope to get out of this place. Not after he just told her that 'Ninja never quit' and everything. Just like he never told Nya when they didn't have enough food for the two fo them, or couldn't afford her school materials, after telling her that he earned good money that month.

Lying wasn't very hard for Kai if it meant not making others worry. The situation may be vastly different, but he would adapt. Eventually.

A little voice in his head, honestly sounding a lot like his sister, tried screaming at him how this was one of his many bad habits he should get rid off. But ignoring that voice was another thing he just learned over the years.

He would just have to deal with this situation live gave him. He always did. One way or the other.

I never said, 'God made a mistake,' I said God made me the way I am, so I'd learn to love myself.

Books of 2023. THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY by Alix E. Harrow. Up next! Back on my Driscoll-adjacent reading vibes, to fuel the Driscoll-centric revising vibes (pictured in the background).

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

Just when you think Gundam has reached the bottom of the pain, there's another knock from somewhere below.

It was definitely the most intense episode in two seasons. Just a fact.

It's funny that just today, while minding my own business at work, I suddenly thought, what would Lauda's reaction be if he found out the truth and how would that happen and what do you think? You know…

Actually, poor Lauda got a double kick in the new episode (although we're not shown Petra's apparent death, but I think a black flag is flying over her).

But on the other hand, I think it's Petra's "What will you do if you stay alive?" question and her overwhelming desire to see Lauda again that will push Suletta to find Miorine. Because right now she's not trying to do anything. She is stuck in place. So she needed a push, and Petra was that push.

In addition, I think Suletta, who had no experience of socialization or any kind of relationship with her peers and was generally socially awkward, needed romantic advice, advice from someone as in love as she was, as well as to see it. She sees how Petra wants to be near Lauda no matter what, and she realizes that this is love. That's how I feel. And I want the same thing.

I hope she knows what to do now.

However, we don't have many episodes left and I'm afraid they left all the hard glass at the very end again so we can snack on them.

My treat.

Wimdy boi

I didn't forget about the patterns on his clothes until it was too late to fix it, not at all why would you ever think such a thing?

I am in a lot of pain. My whole family is. We don't know why, but we were just laughing and laughing until we literally passed out. We could barely breathe. Next thing we know, we're in the hospital.

My lungs are still burning. It feels like I drowned and got strangled in the water. I feel like a knife carved my face like a pumpkin. Me and my family are trying to figure out what happened, but it's hard, there's not a lot of us here-- it was just the three of us in that apartment, after all. But at least my sister wasn't here.

I still feel so tired. I'm exhausted. I'm cold and my bones feel sore and having my eyes closed and in the dark feels so much better than the alternative. This sucks. All I wanted to do was just have an evening with my uncle and mother. Was that too much to ask? I can feel my own blood. I'm so angry. I'm so upset. I want to cry and scream and curl up into a little ball.

I'm sorry if I'm appearing to be childish, I'm just very shaken. I hope we get answers. I'm petrified. I just want to go back to bed. I'll update if we figure out what's happening.

even duolingo has given up on me
