genuinely i think it's important for adults, especially in the plague times, to play pretend in our day-to-day lives. when i rub my back down with tiger balm so i can sleep without pain, i imagine i am a valiant knight tending to an old injury i received from a dragon. when i go to the store to pick up eggs and milk, i am a lone cowboy riding into town on a mission. when i turn my collar up against the wind i am a femme fatale who's killed 4 husbands and is scoping out a 5th. when i stomp around in the snow i am a doomed polar explorer. if being a little bit silly about my walk to the pharmacy helps me remember that life can be full of joy and whimsy, then so be it.

Hello hello!!! I just put this in some of my tags, but realized it might be so much better as its own post- I'm still around, reading a bunch of amazing writing on here, and fighting my way through finals and some goofy health things!! 💜✨

I'm so very sorry if there's something you're still waiting on from me- if there's a thread you'd like to pick back up, or a reply that I'm behind on, please don't be scared to let me know!! 🥺 I'll move it to the top of my drafts and get it out as soon as I can for you! (And if talking about fun things with our muses tickles your fancy more, I'm always down!! 🥺)

This is apropos of nothing, but in my headcanon Sebastian does eventually move out of the chantry to live in the Hawke estate

I can see why he doesn’t in canon — disregarding that he’s severely underutilized in the game and they simply didn’t bother giving him that option (like how he can’t comfort Hawke after All That Remains, he can’t be kidnapped in Best Served Cold, etc), I can see him wanting to remain close to Elthina, since he’s concerned about her safety.

That said, if the game had more time/if the devs gave a shit about Best Boy Choir Boy, I can see a rivalmanced Sebastian having a conversation with Hawke about moving in. Maybe he feels guilty that he’s taking a room that could go to another chantry brother/sister, and Hawke makes the offer.

A friendmanced Sebastian would probably remain in the chantry anyway, unless Hawke brings it up and asks reeeeeeally nicely.

Nothing better than when you brainstorm a whole new angle on a story that opens up a wide vista of possibilities and turns a blocked idea into something that could become a complete and satisfying narrative.

Nothing worse than when you write those new ideas down and discover it's still nowhere near enough to write a whole story.

Sometimes I think about royai and want to eat drywall

goth kerenian's kiss each others eyelids in greeting. btw.

I feel like getting railed might exacerbate any feelings of dizziness or nausea, at least if it's any good. Have you been missing your meds?

omg?? rude of u to figure that out so much faster than i did???? it took me about 6 hours from waking up to realise that was what had happened!!

Guh the world's in my brain r Wilding rn. (Lots of yapping under the cut and also a wip with like? Body horror I gues???? Idk how to describe it she's got mushrooms growing out of her)

There's a universe that's like super duper similar to poppy playtime but also too different from poppy playtime to just be an au or something so like. What do I call it??? The resets that go on there r wild tho my little dragon guy is STRUGGLING I think.

And wonderland is as always ig. The body horror and ?gore?? Maybe? Is thriving over there as usual. Aaron is struggling I think he got put on meds idk if that's gonna get reset or not tho

That one universe idk how to describe is also crazy. Shroomies cult has expanded there and one of the villains has become a member so. Mushroom infected bug? I guess??? The heros r going thru it also but the vigilantes are actually really chill rn they're living their best life ig. Need to get back to them tho they haven't got any attention in a long time. Actually wait that might be why they're chill rn ermmm..

The ancients are SHOCKINGLY chill I think their world is paused for the time being but idk how to unpause it so... whoopsy

Dragon adventures universe is confusing. I think shroomie might be trying to get there too but not too sure. I think she needs to focus on ascending that one villain guy from the heroverse or whatever before she can focus on another but it is concerning :(

And idk what the FUCK the gods or phoenixes are up to but?? Get back here???? Where did they go?? That's a lie ik where they are but only maybe. What are they even up to tho what r they doing 😭 😭 WHY DOES ORION KEEP VANISHING

Also shroomie wip 😈😈

Will finish it tmrw cuz I'm sooo eepy also don't believe the time it says that's a lie I just keep the canvas open for too long sighh

I said “yeah that’s what they do to me at work, they lock me in the basement and then toss little miniDVs and other obsolete digital storage media down to me” and he said “that sounds kinda sad” and then I said “no it’s great it’s how I get enrichment in my enclosure” and then he made out with me sloppy style so I’m happy to report love is real guys

ok wait speaking of crushes. i cannot stop daydreaming about Girl I Am Crushing On it’s been so long since i’ve had genuine feelings i don’t know how to handle it anymore

accidentally got up later than intended today because of a Vivid Daydream, but tbh it is perfectly okay, because it allowed me to see! deer!!

My mom called me at 5pm while I was at work and left me a minute long voice-mail of the most pathetic sounding "I love you, I miss you, I have short term memory problems and that's why I forgot I promised to take you to the water park that one time, also I'm not together with [shitty boyfriend] anymore so Talk to me maybe?"

And I'm just like. She was obviously looking at the letter I wrote to her a few years back, where I outlined where I stood with everything. & in the letter I said so long as she stays with her shitty boyfriend I can't have a relationship with her

So she says she's not with him anymore. But it's only been a few weeks. She's had times where she's "broken up" with him before, only to end up back together again.

I'm not hopeful. Genuinely, her attachment to me is a nuisance. My life is better without her, and yet there's this woman who insists she loves me (she doesn't know the first thing about me) and begs me to talk to her (she's never cared to ask me anything about myself if I don't freely offer the information).

And of course she does this at 5 pm on a Wednesday while I'm at work. I don't have her number saved so I was just like "? Who tf is calling me?" And just ignored it bc I was busy making 7 fucking XL mocha lattes bc I was At Work & I only just now checked the voice-mail, 7 hours later.

A part of me wonders if she deserves another chance. If she truly has broken up with him, I feel like it's in part a plea for me to talk with her again. And some part of me still does feel like I'm indebted to her or smth

But I'm not lol. She didn't raise me. My dad raised me. And before that, my grandparents and sister raised me. Only when I was too small to remember it did my mom actually raise me. And 4 years I can't even remember when I'm Twenty Six? It doesn't mean much of anything.

Maybe it's heartless to not want to give her a chance. But she's only ever brought annoyance and discomfort into my life. She's the embodiment of everything I hate in myself. A carbon copy of my own mental illness, except unchecked and untreated. She has no self awareness & is far too conceited and self-pitying. She's just plain unpleasant to be around, Mommy Issues aside.

I haven't talked to her in over a year. I was potentially willing to make an exception for Xmas or mother's day, but she didn't even try. She's living out her life as a shell of a woman daydreaming of a reality that Does Not Exist.

I'm not her sweet little daughter, and I haven't been for a long time.

You reap what you sow.

saw a post (meant to be a community inside joke / light-hearted, so not to take as a resource at all, but that still got stuck in my mind) earlier which implied that thinking romantic love was friendship + sexual attraction was an alloaro experience and like..... i relate to that a lot but i personally don’t resonate with the split attraction model much (i feel like it’s not always clear enough to describe an experience and can become too vague by being hyperspecific, if this makes sense?) and i don’t recognize myself in the ‘allosexual aromantic’ descriptor specifically either. isn’t that feeling of also being best friends with your partner just a common experience? like i read a lot of queer people in general talking about this....
