I rarely post texts here, but I'm grossly sobbing on and off over Jeremiah Green's passing. I've loved Modest Mouse since 2004 and this just caused me to break down and cry instantly. I never cry over celebrities. This is the first time.

Okay, so did we all just collectively forget one of the last scenes in Eclipse? Because during my reread I was like, wait a minute, huh?
So we all know that Edward is all "I give up the conditions; I want this to be done your way," and it's all cute and nice, because Edward is finally admitting that Bella deserves more agency in her life and such.
BUT, did we forget that my man Edward (yeah, the 100 year old virgin, Edward) tried to have SEGS with Bella right then and there IN THE MEADOW?!?!
"He put his finger to my lips. 'Don't worry, Bella, love. I haven't forgotten the rest of your demands.' His hands were in my hair, his lips moving softly-but very seriously-against mine, before I realized what he was saying. What he was doing" ... "I tried to clear my head, to find a way to speak. He rolled gently, pressing me into the cool grass. Oh, never mind! my less noble side exulted. My head was full of the sweetness of his breath. No, no, no, I argued with myself. I shook my head, and his mouth moved to my neck, giving me a chance to breathe. 'Stop, Edward. Wait." My voice was as weak as my will. ... "Why?" he asked again, his voice low and rough. "I love you. I want you. Right now." -Eclipse, chapter 27
Like...I am scandalized. And then Bella "monster fucker" Swan has to be the one to stop him, because she's had a character arc and wants to do things responsibly before she's turned (because she's finally realized all she's leaving behind). Hello??? Am I the only one who forgot about this?? And that's not even the whole passage. It's much longer. I urge you to go read it. (It's pg. 617 in my copy lmao) I cannot be the only person who forgot that this happened.

[“Almost from my first few weeks, registering, discerning, and observing seemed to represent the only moral form of self-defense available to me, the only way to save the inner core of my decency before these portions were ripped away. And that’s really it, that’s all that has powered my career—such as it is—since. I’m not particularly talented, I’m not really special: I’m just highly motivated. I am, for want of a better word, haunted.
It’s certainly true that I’ve studied. It’s also true that I read a ton, and when I come across an essay or a novel that impacts me emotionally or intellectually, I work to deconstruct the text to try to get a view of its internal mechanics. But that’s all just method. If you don’t have a fire inside you raging to be released, you are never going to last in this game. You need to know this early on: becoming a prison writer, learning how to accurately speak truth to power and how to report from the depths of these little totalitarian fiefdoms embedded within the larger body politic, you are entering into a sort of reverse Faustian bargain. You may, if you stick with it long enough, find some regard in the eyes of posterity. In the meantime, the administration is going to seriously mess up your life. You will catch cases. You will attract the attention of the wardens. You may do time in seg for it, as I have. If you don’t have your motivations and expectations properly calibrated, you will flame out, exactly like most of the writers I’ve known over the years. If this isn’t a passion, if it’s not something you feel to be as necessary to survival as breathing, none of this will seem worth the trouble. And it won’t be.”]
Thomas Bartlett Whitaker, from The Price of Remaining Human, from The Sentences That Create Us: Crafting A Writer’s Life In Prison, by PEN America and edited by Caits Meissner, 2022

Another book review/recommendation :)
The song of Achilles(Madeline Miller)
So this is a very popular book but I still would like to speak on it. It honestly left me in tears. Left me empty. Omg. So it follows Patroclus, Achilles lover. And I mean the writing is just so beautiful, I have never cried while reading a segs scene yet here we are. This is a book that is worth reading. It all war, love, drama, fighting, death, & H E A R T A C H E. It’s beautiful and tragic 10/10

okay! That’s the last of what I drew this year. I seemed to have stopped around May 31st 2022. I think that’s when I began having trouble with Photoshop on my laptop. Hopefully soon I can find a compatible older version and install it so I can get back to drawing. Huge thank you to those that followed, liked, reblogged!! ^^

I missed what happened to tpc here
Disclaimer: speak with my own country language
Fr, tpc bakal cancel selamanya?
Gak habis pikir, dulu masalah quadragonx yang ngambil hak Brittany yang bikin canon cerita Brittany cuma sampe episode 5 dan dia yang lanjutin cerita tpc hingga dia menghilang dan malah gak lanjut(lu kalo gak bisa gak usah claim bngst), breabear yang malah bikin video animasi tpc nge seg gak jelas, ditambah report dan suspend akun fans tpc yang bikin dub, translate sama memes, hingga tahun ini pula Brittany gak jadi lanjut lagi cuma gegara tag doang
Lu masalah sama tag? Cuma ditambahin jsab di belakang doang kok marah, coba lu misal bikin cerita fanfic sendiri dari suatu game/anime/film/series trus pake hastag, di hastag ternyata nama cerita nya ada yg sama dan udah kepake, trus solusinya apa? Y TaMbAhIn nama game/series/film/anime di belakang, auto cuma ada cerita kamu kan di situ dan orang tau itu ada cerita buatan elu dari game/anime/film/series, ngerti kan guna nya apa
Dongo banget 👉🤓👈
Yaudah gw bingung mau bicara apa lagi, pokoknya gw menghilang lagi, mohon maaf baru tau beberapa hari yang lalu, saya undur diri, byee

Some more fics of mine - standalones (well, a few are part of a series but are currently the only entry so I'm putting them here):
of legacies and lies - Jack Thompson's granddaughter Alex, a SHIELD agent, deals with the aftermath of the HYDRA reveal while trying to get back home. Meanwhile her grandparents try and make sure she isn't made into a scapegoat by the authorities.
a god's reflection - a rewritten Loki oneshot set between Thor 1 and Thor 2 as he reflects on his actions on Midgard.
when one door closes (another opens) - Brianna Thawne, the Cobalt Blue of Earth-4 and its 22nd Century, joins her world's Legends after she stops Kate Allen from changing time, an action which caused a rift in Team Flash and left Brianna ostracised.
now we have (the freedom to choose) - Legends of Tomorrow AU, where Carter realises that now he's finally free of the cycle, maybe he doesn't have to be with Kendra.
you've always been (a part of me) - Krypton Post-Canon AU, set decades after the show, where Seg is hit with the reminder of his husband's mortality and doesn't deal with it well
speak (and i'll listen) - MonWinn oneshot, set post the Music Meister, in which Winn stresses out and Mon-El comforts him
to new beginnings - Westhallen New Year's Resolution fic for Polyam Shipping Day in January 2022
doubt (and the bonds of love) - when Mon-El becomes distant, Winn can't figure out why until Kara points out that he's not the only insecure one in the relationship
the future (is ours) - a Flash AU where Iris is the Flash and Barry and Eddie are the ones dating. Eobard has been defeated and everyone's made it out the other side...but Eddie fears for his relationship after finding out Barry and Iris were meant to be together...
right here (is where i'm meant to be) - fluffy, lazy morning Segdam oneshot
to live and rise (and hope again) - focuses on Eliana Kent, the daughter of Clark Kent and Lana Lang from another universe, who was forced to flee her own world with thousands of others after draconian anti-alien measures were enforced. Settling on Earth-38 with her adoptive aunts, Eliana doesn't expect anything drastic to happen...until the rest of her powers start setting in...
Ambiguity - FFN import, written for Stupid Mario Bros and a Mr L centric fic as he fights to fight his host body's brother
the truth (long overdue) - Spider-Man 2 AU where Peter goes back to explain everything to Harry and unknowingly averts tragedy later down the line
one night changes nothing (except when it changes everything) - Krypton fic where Seg and Adam sleep together one night early in S1 but Adam figures nothing's gonna change, because it's not like Seg of all people would return his feelings (hint: he's wrong)
remaining steadfast (accepting your purpose) - Robin of Sherwood S3 AU where Robert of Huntingdon stays the first time around, nervous as he is about stepping into the shoes of a hero
true friendship (becomes stronger over time) - Link & Saria post OOT (child timeline), where an older Link goes to talk to his best friend after feeling out of place recently
we have time (to start over) - X-Men 3 AU where Jean lived and brought Scott back, and now he's trying to figure out why Logan is acting so strange around him (it's the guilt)
i love you (let me show it) - Segdam fic where Seg proposes to Adam out of the blue
i will stand by you (i will help you through) - Angel & Riley friendship fic, in which Angel doesn't act like a dick in 4x20, instead recognising Riley as a young man in pain, and this has a massive effect on things
discussions and coffee (at three am) - Legends AU where Henry Heywood lived and is now a Legend alongside his grandson

“Character A and Character B broke up, but now they meet at a Christmas party.” With roope hintz please 🤍
When Esa had invited you to his Christmas party you declined.
He insisted, claiming that Clara just wouldn’t be happy if you didn’t come.
“Esa, no I can’t-“
“You can! You absolutely can! You are saying no”
You told him you would think about it but you didn’t have time to think before Clara had text you saying she was so happy you’d decided to come.
Clara had been most heartbroken when you and Roope split up. It was hard moving to a new country, trying to learn a new language and fitting in with the other wags.
When you began dating Roope you’d taken it upon yourself to learn Finnish which you used to speak to Clara, Esa, Miro and Joel too. They all felt a little bit more relaxed around you.
She spent the following weeks glaring and throwing around Finnish swears at him.
When the day came around for the party you were late. On purpose. You didn’t want to be a focus, you wanted to slip in and be unnoticed see the Lindell’s and go.
That idea was launched out of the window when you arrived and Tyler yelled across the room “She hath arrived!”
You laughed “Segs, how much eggnog have you drank?”
His eyes went wide “Can sober me not be excited to see you?! But… just a little bit”
You shimmied out of his hug and found your way to the couch where Esa and Clara were sat. Her eyes light up when she sees you.
“You came!”
“Of course, Hauskaa joulua!” merry christmas
She beamed “oh I miss you so much, come see Astrid she’s getting so big you’re missing it all!”
Esa handed off the baby to you, the little girl had you wrapped around her finger. Not quite wanting to let go.
Parents were grateful, Clara and Esa used that as an excuse to go mingle. You happily walked around with the baby saying hello to people.
Subconsciously, you looked for him
He wasn’t anywhere to be seen.
Maybe he was with a new girl? On a date? He didn’t want to come because he knew you would be there?
That thought was slowly disrupted when Astrid began crying.
You knew where her bottle was so instead of finding Clara you did it yourself.
The kitchen was empty, just you and Astrid. The room was silent bar her little sucking sounds.
You were swaying her, in an attempt to get her to sleep. Spinning around and around abruptly stopping when someone in the door cleared their throat.
“Jesus! You scared me!”
He chuckled “Nice dance moves”
“Don’t sneak up on someone holding a baby!”
“I didn’t sneak up on you, you weren’t paying attention” you rolled your eyes at that one.
It was then it settled in that you were in the same room, he was standing in front of you.
“How have you been?”
You sighed “Roope we don’t have to-“
“I just wanted to know how you’ve been, Miro said you hadn’t been going for your weekly coffee lately”
“Yeah well I don’t need to learn Finnish anymore, I mean I only did it for you”
You hadn’t meant to snap, it just came out.
“Kulta…”
You put your hand up to stop him “No, please don’t-“
“Please just let me explain myself”
“I don’t want to hear it Roo, the time is gone please just leave it”
You walked past him but he caught your elbow, your eyes rising to meet his “Kulta.. please”
His voice was broken, he was broken.
You reluctantly nodded “Okay, speak”
He let out a deep breath “I was scared, okay? And I know that’s silly but you were learning Finnish, you were doing things for the team, my family? It was a lot and I was scared! I loved you, I still love you! I was nervous I couldn’t give you what you deserve-“
“Don’t you think I was the one to make that decision?! That I had a say in our life?”
He nodded, meekly “you should have, I was wrong and I know now I made the wrong decision I regret it! I’ve waited so long for the time I see you again”
Your breath caught in your throat “Roo..”
“Please, please Kulta tell me you still love me too. That I didn’t screw it all up” his hand reached up to your cheek, thumb brushing away a tear rolling down your cheek.
“I still love you and I shouldn’t but I do. Fuck, Roope I can’t do this all again you broke my heart”
“And i will never ever make that mistake again”
Your lip quirked in a smile, he leaned down and kissed you quick.
“Minä rakastan sinua” i love You
“Say it again” you mumbled, having missed the words.
“Minä rakastan sinua”
You smiled, happy tears now rushing down your cheeks.
The happy moment was ruined when Clara announced “It’s a Christmas miracle!”
Most of the team was stood watching what had just happened, you blushed in embarrassment.
Roope shrugged while Esa took his daughter from your arms “Let me just take this little cock block back”
You laughed “I think a thank you actually goes to Astrid, this was all her”
Roope smiled, leaning over to his god-daughter “kiitos pikku pupu” thank you little bunny
The rest of the night you weren’t found far from Roope. His hands always had to be on you.
“I just got you back, I’m not letting go anytime soon”

I kinda want to figure out exactly what aro community terms/movements would be like in Norwegian.
off the top of my head there's
loveless
lovequeer
heartless
loveloose
amatopunk
relationship anarchy
I don't have a full idea of all these terms, I do think loveless and lovequeer probably are the most used ones. And I've seen people use loveless to mean different things (both not using love to describe yourself/your experiences and the seemingly basic idea that love doesn't make you human/isn't the whole point)
one thing here is that as a Norwegian I've only heard of this idea that "love is what makes you human" through aro communities. I assume it's a U.S. thing, but feel free to correct me if that's inaccurate.
In Norwegian one very relevant things on the topic of these communities, particularly relationship anarchy is that the word for boyfriend/girlfriend/enbyfriend is "kjæreste" which directly translates to "dearest", which may have some implications (I don't know that most people think about it, but one can see it). At least it's gender neutral.
I'll translate some more relationship, romantic and other arguably relevant terms for y'all.
forhold: relationship (any type, pretty much same usage as English afaik)
vennskap: friendship (venn -skap)
venn: friend
vennine: friends who are girls (mainly used by older folks, definitely in use)
kamerat: friends who are boys (same as previous)
klassekamerat: classmate. Uses boy version for people of all genders. usage is just like in English.
platonisk: platonic. I think it's taken from English. used a bit more rarely than in English.
type: slang for boyfriend. (also used as slang meaning "for example"/"such as")
dame: slang for girlfriend (also means lady/woman).
kjæreste: partner/gf/bf/nbf etc. literally means "dearest".
kj: abbreviation for "kjæreste", sometimes pronounced like K.J.
kjære deg: literally "dear you", sometimes said when trying to calm someone down. doesn't imply anything about a relationship, can even be used in a demeaning way. Can be used with partners too.
kjære: dear. like in English.
å holde noen kjær: caring about someone. includes romance, doesn't necessarily imply it. implies closeness (e.g. familial, platonic)
ektemann/mann: husband. literally means real + man. might have some implications on masculinity
kone: wife
kjærlighet: love (noun).
forelskelse/å forelske seg i noen: falling in love/to fall in love with someone. (for-elske)
å elske: to love, used about anything really, can be said platonically, carries more weight than liking something or someone
å like: to like, not really used about people in the same way as you would say you're "forelsket" in/with them. otherwise like English.
friendzone: friendzone is used as slang.
I guess I could add familial terms too, since I'm bored:
mor: mother
mamma: mom/mommy
far: father
Pappa: dad/daddy
søster: sister
bror: brother/bro
broder: bro (also used in religious context I think)
søsken: siblings (plural). you can technically say "et søsken", but it's not used much
mormor: maternal grandmother (mother's mother)
morfar: maternal grandfather (mother's father)
farmor: paternal grandmother (father's mother)
farfar: paternal grandfather (father's father)
bestemor: grandmother (usually used in place of either mormor or farmor depending on family)
bestefar: grandfather (same as previous)
kusine: girl cousin
fetter: boy cousin
tante: aunt
onkel: uncle
I'm not even trying the rest, idk what "søskenbarn", "niese" or "third cousin twice removed" means.
obviously language may be different different places in Norway and this is just what I could think of. Also, I've not lived anywhere English speaking just so that's said.
To be clear this is all Bokmål, there are some differences in Nynorsk (e.g. syster), but I think you can use most if not all these (excluding slang) there too.
