Thinking about a lot of things but mainly of how Terry Pratchett writes tiredness.
(Which means I’m mainly thinking of Sam Vimes. Which is normal.)
But he gets it so right.
The feeling behind your eyeballs. Stealing time from your future self with coffee, and, when the coffee doesn’t work anymore, going on sheer bloody mindedness because you cannot stop, you can’t. Not being sure when you last had real sleep. The strange state of mind you land in where you should absolutely not be tested because everything’s on a hair trigger, and things feel like they’re moving through treacle and your ability to make decisions feels shot to hell so you can only hope that you’re making the right choices.
Not Terry Pratchett’s words, if course, but I can’t get to my bookshelf at the moment, and, if I could, I’m not sure that I can read anymore.
I’m tired, is what I’m getting at.
And Terry Pratchett writes the whole spectrum of being human so brilliantly, but, damn, how he nails down being tired.

When you say 'I am constantly thinking about death' I just hope it's a morbid fascination and interest in the topic, and not the desire to die. I hope it's because you think bones are cool and maybe you want to get into Vulture Culture, and not thinking of ending your life.
I hope you know that you are valued. People love you and this world would be a much less beautiful place without you in it. I hope it's not suicidal thoughts and I hope you just want to show off your bone collection, or your hoard of preserved creatures in jars.
I hope you don't think of leaving yet. I hope the reason it's constantly on your mind is because you long for your moots to be by your side, helping you reconstruct critters from a pile of bone you found wherever you got them.
It's not really morbid fascination, but thoughts I'm forced to have? I don't like these thoughts and I'm only thinking them when I'm at a really low place. More often than not, I am very happy to be alive and witness the word around me!! I love my family and art and strangers online and the sky and the clouds and a fun video game with a whole fandom around two of it's characters! These thoughts are suicidal and scary to me. I feel them very strongly and there are times I want to crash my car! But I won't! Because I know I don't want to in the long run! I love being alive and I have a very strong desire to be alive and seek help instead of leaving. I think these are more like intrusive thoughts! And they hit at my weakest moments which makes them feel real, but they aren't! I'm staying right here for as long as I can! I wanna make it to 100!
Thank you for your concern! ❤️❤️❤️

Okay a thought entered my head and it has not left so here I am.
I don’t really know much about the Batfam-lore. From what I understand Alfred is British right? So it’s safe to assume that his family is also British. My question now is: where is Allie from? Is she also British? Will she someday speak with the same level of poshness as Alfred just for shits and giggles? Please! I must know! D:
(my batman lore is rusty and not comics-based, though i have since done some wikipedia readings on the comics to brush up lol) yes, Alfred is English! used to be an actor, also used to be in MI5, acc to my searches.
Allie is not English. my parsing of their familial relationship: her maternal grandmother was Alfred's sister, married out and moved to the US. Allie is from...Philly... (i'm seat-of-my-pantsing this as ultimately it doesn't matter except she's from not-Gotham, and from the east coast. i like Philly for her. she has the vibe. so mote it be.)
sadly, she will not have a posh accent, though she's a good mimic if she wants to make a joke.
a lot of her family situation is going to be not-discussed within the fic, she just got a normal shitty hand dealt to her. no superheroes or villains elsewhere in her family tree to pop up later tho i promise.

Damn I MISS KNK SO BADDDDD I still can’t believe they put out their best work after their company tanked and left them drifting 😭. Shows the insane amount of talent they have, I guess, but it’s a shame they don’t really have the resources to do music anymore. Plus Seoham left 😭😭
seoham AND heejun have left 😭😭😭 literally they were one of THE most talented third gen flops they had wild choreography and insane vocals i'm so mad that both their companies were useless. like the fact that seoham left his contract immediately got tapped to do a bl that turned into one of the most successful korean bls of all time and they couldn't even capitalize on that to generate some buzz for the group???? head in hands. not that semantic error actually unflopped dkz but it unflopped them enough and that's what matters
