My parents had me very old, literally 40 and 44. Honestly, I’d go so far to say as this is selfishly old. They had me knowing I would be deal with aging and eventually dead parents at a pretty young age. And I’m forced to live with the fact that I won’t have my parents for very long.

Well…it just got much worse. One second, I was 17. My parents were 57 and 62. The next second, they‘re 62 and 67! My dad is going to be 70 when I’m fucking 20! Genuinely what am I supposed to do?! I mean I guess that it’s good that I blipped and they didn’t because I had a support system to come back to. It could have been much worse. But Thanos stole away five years with my parents, when those years were already in short supply. Fml.

It seems like all the time travel fics have either Anakin or Luke traveling back to the prequels. I definitely love those fics, but I’m interested in a fic where one or both of them instead travel back to a previous point in the original trilogy. Preferably ANH. And preferably they travel back from ROTJ, but if for example ESB Luke travels back to ANH I’m also chill with that. I just want time travel to be contained within the originals, no prequels. Has anybody seen something like this before?

Wtf is this. I’ve had a purple skin with butterflies for years, and all of the sudden my site changes to the “snow blue” skin. I didn’t choose this skin…

I genuinely believe that I have OCD. I’ve noticed multiple compulsions, and potentially some obsessions. But mainly compulsions. I am compelled to count my fingers probably at least fifty times a day, and I HAVE to do it. Like I can’t not. It doesn’t matter if I’m driving, just sitting around, on the toilet, I fucking have to do it. It’s genuinely horrible to deal with.

But…I’m more terrified of getting an OCD diagnosis than I am dealing with these symptoms. Because I just know if I get diagnosed, the doctors are going to try to pump me full of drugs that will fuck up my brain forever. I don’t want that, obviously. But I also don’t want these symptoms anymore. Are there any ways to help reduce symptoms without meds?

At the end of No Way Home, we see Peter studying for the GED. I assumed this was going to lead into a college arc, and the next trilogy would be him in college. Instead, obviously BND skipped four years in the future, so we never saw that happen. I was a little disappointed, but BND was so good I largely didn’t care. But BND makes it seem like he never went to college? He had an ESU hoodie, but he doesn’t even know where the library is. Which makes me think he was never a student. Why didn’t he go to college if he clearly wanted to?

Whether that’s through the Diary, he’s unconsciously doing it some other way, or he’s actually consciously doing it (although obviously that would have to be some very non-canon characterization). I don’t care. But I wasn’t able to find any like this by searching in the Heir of Slytherin Harry tag, and I am desperate for some.

Okay, hear me out on this one guys.

I’ve seen a lot of ideas for potential Midnight runs brought up, with a bunch of different horror sub-genres. But I haven’t seen Iron Man mentioned yet, or slasher horror.

Specifically, I’m thinking that Tony is the slasher. This could be a version of Tony without any empathy or care for others. Literally a psychopath. He’s bored of life, and wants a challenge. So, he turns to violence and murder. Instead of heroics, the Iron Man suit is used to hunt his victims down. The suit might not even be a high tech suit, instead being a more typical horror movie villain costume. It depends on if he’s a billionaire or not in this version. Either could work, I think. I just wanted to incorporate slasher horror into the Midnight universe, because it’s such a prominent genre. And Iron Man was the first character that came to mind.

Idk…this kinda seems too edgy, but the rest of the Midnight universe seems edgy as well 🤷🏼‍♀️

Her heartbeat sped up, her heart raced, her heart almost stopped, her heart rate spiked…

So many damn heart problems! I’m beginning to think my characters should get that checked out.

Oh, and breaths too. Her breath quickened, she held her breath, she let out a breath she didn’t even know she was holding…

What quirks like this can you just not stop putting in your writing?

Basically just the title. I’m really interested in an AU where Nathan actually cares about his son, even if it’s in a twisted way. He’s not necessarily a good father, but he would never try to kill Neil like he does in canon. Are there any fics like this?

Hey! I’m back with another cosplay question, lol. I think I’ve managed to find every part of the outfit…except the racquet. Technically I don’t need one, but it would be a cool prop. The problem is, actual lacrosse sticks are really expensive. Especially the goalie version (I’m going as Andrew). Is there a cheap version out there? Or if not, how did y’all DIY your racquets?

Spoilers ahead!

So, I just finished The King‘s Men. I loved it. I’m not sure whether this one or The Raven King is my favorite in the series. But I can’t help feel like the later events were a bit…rushed? Once Neil got kidnapped, I looked at the amount of pages left and my heart just sunk. I genuinely thought the Foxes weren’t going to make it to finals, because it didn’t seem like there was time for that. Then the kidnapping went by surprisingly fast. Obviously it couldn’t have lasted for too long, because Neil would have been irreversibly damaged. But I just expected a bit more meat. And that’s my main complaint with everything after the kidnapping: I wanted “a bit more meat.”

I know you can only describe Exy games in writing in so many before it gets boring, but I really expected more description for the last few games of the series. Especially the finals. And then there’s like NO content after the finals, just a short epilogue. I really did want a little bit more than that. To be fair, everything is resolved, which is more than I expected. Except…I guess we never hear the result of Aaron’s trial, right? And I feel like Neil‘s injuries should have still been impacting him during the games against USC and Edgar Allen, but whatever.

I don’t think the conclusion was bad, by any means! But imo, the book really would have benefited from at least 50 more pages.

I’ve been doing a bit of research into this, but not too much. Basically, I HATE communal bathrooms. I could never last a full year in communal bathrooms. Even staying in dorms for a week with communal bathrooms is torture. I’d like to specifically point out Weaver Hall as a dorm I’d rather stay in jail than live in. Jesus, fuck that dorm. I could barely handle it for the few nights I stayed there. Also, riding that elevator was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

Anyways, I would really prefer for the dorm to be included in the Florida Prepaid plan. But I know that limits my options a lot. I also would kill for a single, but know that’s basically impossible as a freshman.

What are going to be my best choices?

I’ve heard pretty horrible things about CLAS advising. Unfortunately, my desired major is in CLAS. My second choice major is CALS, and I’ve heard they have better advising, and they seem to have more opportunities. But I really do greatly prefer the CLAS major, and it would lend better to my future career. Is CLAS advising really that bad? And will I regret choosing the CLAS major instead of the CALS one? (I plan to minor in the CALS major btw)

I’m sick with what I think is a cold right now. I had a fever yesterday, but it went away today. But I still feel absolutely horrible. I wondered why, because my only symptom left is congestion. But then I realized my heart rate has been abnormally high the whole day. And standing up feels much worse than it usually does. I think the sickness might be exacerbating my POTS symptoms. Has this happened to anyone else before?

So, Ado actually went to a city only two hours away from me for her tour in 2025. But, at that time, I was a very casual fan who had only heard a few songs. And I had no clue the concert was happening. I only really got into Ado a few months later. Now, I know it’s going to be a while before she comes back for a full US tour. But does anybody have any predictions?

So I was in my living room, when I saw a board game I’ve never seen in my entire life before. My heart started to speed up, thinking maybe I had mini-shifted? Or my mom had just moved stuff around. I had to ask my dad to be sure.

My dad said “What do you mean? That’s always been there. We’ve played it before.” And I was like “WHAT?!” My heart was beating like crazy.

And then my mom said it’s been up in the attic for years, and she just brought it down. I still don’t remember playing it, but I guess bad memory strikes again 🫩
