Song of the day, not anon this time, because I think that has become quite pointless…. On my Own by Ashes Remain. And yes, you have become the one and only person listening to me screaming about songs that remind me of Thoschei/The Master, so I’m almost sorry! …Almost.

There’s gotta be another way out
I’ve been stuck in a cage with my doubt
I’ve tried forever getting out on my own
But every time I do this my way
I get caught in the lies of the enemy

I lay my troubles down
I’m ready for you now
Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now

Everyday by myself I’m breaking down
I don’t wanna fight alone anymore

Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God I need a hope I can’t deny
In the end I’m realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own

Every little thing that I’ve known
Is every thing I need to let go
You’re so much bigger than the world I have made
So I surrender my soul
I’m reaching out for your hope
I lay my weapons down
I’m ready for you now

Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I’m breaking down
I don’t wanna fight alone anymore
Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God I need a hope I can’t deny
In the end I’m realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own

I don’t wanna be incomplete
I remember what you said to me
I don’t have to fight alone

Bring me out
Come and find me in the dark now
Everyday by myself I’m breaking down
I don’t wanna fight alone anymore

Bring me out
From the prison of my own pride
My God I need a hope I can’t deny
In the end I’m realizing
I was never meant to fight on my own

This is VERY much Koschei to Theta, yes? At least it completely fulfills my headcanons about Simm!Master in Series Four and especially Series Ten.

Schur loved not only the central thesis of “What We Owe to Each Other” but also the book’s title. “It assumes
that we owe things to each other,” he told me. “It starts from that
place. It’s not like: Do we owe anything to each other? It’s like: Given
that we owe things to each other, let’s try to figure out what they
are. It’s a very quietly subversive idea.”

It is, in a way, deeply un-American — an
affront to our central mythology of individual rights, self-interest and
the sanctity of the free market. As an over-the-top avatar of all our
worst impulses, Eleanor is severely allergic to any notion of community.
And yet her salvation will turn out to depend on the people around her,
all of whom will in turn depend on her. What makes us good, Chidi tells
her, is “our bonds to other people and our innate desire to treat them
with dignity.”

//ALSO I HECKIN VOTED Y’ALL.Voted today. Even though a poll worker became very belligerent and tried to refuse us paper ballots, which we very politely, calmly requested, because we were uncomfortable with the electronic system. She shouted at us in an attempt to intimidate us, very agitatedly accused the news of sensationalizing the reality of voter suppression, claimed we were “insulting” her personally by making our request, and called my mom an “as_hole.” Yes, really.  In a nice, suburban neighborhood, this heated exchange took place.  And we are White Anglo-Saxon Protestants so imagine what would have happened if we had been POC, or people of the Muslim faith, or any other minority, who walked into that office.

Please join me in voting. Your vote matters; if it didn’t, then the bullies wouldn’t try so hard to take it away.

//Anyway I compulsively write roguish white male characters not because I don’t love female and poc characters and am not a feminist, but honestly because I have abandonment issues, because my dad hates my mom and takes it out on her by trying to form like this weird “alliance” with me like “we’re so great and your mother is dumb” and this is part of why I regularly, legitimately want to die :)))))) Any time I hear a voice in my head saying I’m insufficient in any way, it’s my dad’s voice.

And I’m trying to exorcize that immense awful scar on my heart–that he gave me when I was four years old and he walked out on us after having multiple extramarital affairs–by writing men who are bad in some way but ultimately can change and be redeemed.

So yeah. I’m the cliched overachieving female child of divorce with daddy issues. Sorry.  I’m a cliche and my writing is not as special as people keep saying it is, but I swear it’s for a reason.

As a nonbinary pan (which sounds weird putting it that way, but I’m both pansexual and panromantic, so, y’know, whatevs), genderqueer is absolutely acceptable. The only time you would ever need to question whether or not it’s not is if you’re using it in the same way you’d use the n-word (spoiler: news anchors can say queer on live tv, but can not say the n-word; that should tell you everything you need to know).

//Doesn’t sound weird <333 your ID is yours.  Also thanks for the further reassurance luv <333
