That moment when Runt from JRWI Wonderlust suddenly becomes way too relatable and it causes you to remember something that happened to you 7 or 8 years ago-
Context under cut, tw/cw for bullying, manipulation, and a toxic relationship if you want to know the context
This was something that happened in 6th grade, which was obviously a long time ago for me now, but that scene with Runt yelling at WD for lying made me remember this moment that I had nearly forgotten about. Again, this happened a while ago, so bear with me because I may not remember all the details.
There was this boy I had been friends with since elementary school, his name was Nic. He was in my last two classes of the day in 6th grade, which were history and math. In my history class, he treated me like a friend, because I was his friend, and for some time in my math class, he treated me like a friend then too.
However, my math teacher switched up the seating arrangements and had me sit next to a girl, with Nic and another boy behind me. The girl and the boy didn't treat me very well. They were both bullies to me and would say horrible things about me whenever they got the chance. And Nic joined them. He was suddenly not my friend anymore, but also still was at the same time.
That shit hurt, especially since I hadn't done anything to anyone. The biggest thing that the girl and boy would tell me is that my breath smells or I smell in general. And that hurt, because no matter how hard I tried, it was never enough to get them to stop and I felt trapped. I don't remember if I ended up moving seats to get away from them or if I put up with it until the teacher changed the seating chart again.
It was genuinely the most confusing experience for me because outside of math class, Nic was still my childhood friend, until we stepped foot in math class. It was so frustrating and confusing and to this day, I still don't understand why he did that to me. I haven't spoken to him or seen him since high school, and I didn't really talk to him during high school either. But yeah.
God, middle school was such a shitty time for me.

Small spoilers for Riptide episodes 105 and 106, go watch it so you don't get spoiled :3
So, I'm on episode 106 of Riptide (was not expecting the fanfic opening of Queen x Alasse, but it was very cute). I just wanna talk about the scene in episode 105 where they're going through the spider webs because I kid you not, I was so stressed while watching it, no joke.
I was messaging my friend, telling her about how stressed the scene was (yes, it was my co-writer for the Life Series AU), I had the get some food to eat, partly because I forgot to eat dinner, but mostly because I bite when I get stressed and I swear, I need a chew tool istg-
Anyways, it's almost 5 in the morning, good night
Jrwi Wonderlust, But plot twist,
Troy is actually a robot made by his father
And nobody knows except him, his father, and maybe a select few
Or maybe everyone knows.
Everyone’s favorite mascot. Their shining star. A perfect symbol of their city. Of their sled races. Of their victories. An idol. An image.
But underground doesn’t know. Blink and Runt? They wouldn’t know. Why would they?
Troy’s not gonna say anything.
The people above won’t say anything, because honestly? Sometimes they forget. They don’t think about it. Don’t need to, because everyone knows anyways.
And Troy bleeds. Why would he not be human?
Except he’s not. Except it’s just safety measures. Lessening impact. Easy to see on snow if something goes wrong and easy to locate.
End of the Hall // Generation Loss: The Social Experiments.
I feel like Gillion definitely has AuDHD, same with Runt. I also like to think that Pinch and Doppler are like older brothers to Runt (I know they're cousins), since Runt doesn't have any siblings. Runt and Troy also act like siblings to each other because they're only children (as far as I'm aware, it's just never mentioned if Troy has siblings)
Just something cute a fluffy :3
!
Updated notes for episode 10, holy shit I cannot wait to see what happens next
STOP, THIS FITS SO WELL!! OH MY GOD, THIS IS INCREDIBLE, I WILL SCREAM
This is ANCIENT. I never finished it in time (it was planned for Valentine's day last year, and then I lost motivation... )
I kinda still like some of the shots and the way I edited the audio, but man, I would change SO much now. I worked super hard on the finished parts back then, so I thought I'd share IT half-finished, why not :D
Song is Ruthlessness from Epic the musical
Genuinely, I love getting my friends into my hyperfixations, it's so much fun. I got my friend Birdie into Epic The Musical today and she loved it! We even started planning a story we'll be writing together! I also got Luna into Riptide and Wonderlust and it's fun seeing her reactions to Riptide because I'm so much further ahead compared to her.
It makes me happy to see my friends enjoy things that I enjoy and it's just such a good feeling. I love making people happy so much, it's such a good feeling to be the reason someone smiles. Alright, gonna go back to binging, good night
Fennu was never a fan of mirrors, but that disdain for mirrors heightened after Charlie's death. Because every time she looked into a mirror, all she saw was her deceased twin sister staring back at her.
I genuinely enjoyed making this, I have had Dragontale on my mind a lot recently. I was thinking a lot about what Fennu's opinion on mirrors would be, especially since she and Charlie are identical twins (for the most part), and I felt that it would make sense that she doesn't like mirrors because all she would see in the reflection is Charlie. I love traumatizing my OCs :3
Time Taken: 1 hour and 23 minutes
Characters Used (from left to right): Charlie Anderson (they/she) and Fennu Anderson (she/rose)
Apps Used: Gacha Nebula and Ibis Paint X
Hope you like it!!

"Why can't you get it through your thick skull? I don't love you. I don't even know what love is."
I WAS ROLEPLAYING A SCENARIO AND I SPAT THAT OUT I FUCKING LOVE THAT LINE SO MUCH, HOLY SHIT. IT'S SO BADASS, LIKE WHAT?!
The character is talking to their mother, who abandoned them, btw. That's all you're getting. God, I love writing an AroAce character who doesn't even know what true love, romantic, platonic, familial, or any of it is. It's perfect for angst :D
