Why Is It Always "you Have An Infestation" And "oh My God Why Are You Covered In Lesions" And Never "how

why is it always "you have an infestation" and "oh my god why are you covered in lesions" and never "how is the wasp's nest in your attic? is it nice? does it thrum with life and malice? does it sing that you are beautiful, that you are a home, that you can be fully consumed by what loves you?"

ok you know what? gwen assuming sam did something fucked up in order to consider joining the OIAR has got to be projection. she snaps back when he asks her why she joined and I just have to believe the reasons for each one of them joining aren't too savory. also, gwen doesn't want to talk about why she joins but she wants to climb the ladder? she Definitely is looking for something and that is Not a job. honestly maybe the non-puppeted by jonah version of elias bouchard might have burned down at the institute? might be a thing there???

"if i wanted to clear the canvas, i would have used turpentine." the gasp i gusped. these lines! keep killing it! (no pun intended)

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

Ah yes, my favorite Magnus Archives antagonists such as:

Chain smoking anglerfish

Worms who commit identity theft

Delivery men who canonically look exactly like delivery men

Man who is also a maze

Woman who is also a maze who ate man who was also a maze

Hey, wasn't your coworker shorter yesterday?

Body builder who... Well, take a guess

Old man who just really fucking loves heights

Diversity win! Arsonist serial killer who serves a god of destruction has a lesbian crush on her God's Messiah

Homophobic vase (I couldn't leave out the homophobic vase)

Honestly are we sure that's not just a really big pig?

What if your shitty manager tricked you into the thrall of a dark god?

Man who just wants to die alone

The circus is in town! Oh no!

Woman who sees absolutely no downside to extinguishing the sun

Have you heard this new band? Their music is to die for!

Being Asexual is something I have yet to fully come to terms with, and describing it is difficult.

I have the desire for a relationship. This is not fulled by sexual or romantic desire, but is instead fulled but the need to love someone to the fullest extent. I don’t need someone to love me but I need someone to love. I have so much to give, so much understanding, patience, and want to care for someone.

I would not mind a kiss or a romantic love and label. But those I talk to seem so different.

They have so much fueled desire and passion that later can become love. But I have so much love in my heart to give that if someone came along and understood me I would blossom with a blinding, warm passion. Not fire hot desire, nor sexy, but instead comfort and safety.
