when i was in middle school i started dating this weird guy from the math team because i thought i needed to have a boyfriend and he was one of two guys in the school didn’t bully me (the other was my little cousin) but when we had our “first date” on a school field trip, he told me he couldn’t hold my hand because a bat had gotten into his room and bit him and given him rabies and he didn’t want to give it to me. we couldn’t touch each other. we “dated” for like 2 months but we basically just hung out at coldstone at the mall and talked about how much we hated everyone else. he told me he was dying of rabies so he needed me to feed him ice cream to keep up his strength and that it was because of me that he had lasted this long and that i had to write down his life story (i used to carry around one of those glittery diaries with a lock where i wrote free verse about my depression) so that his brilliant mind would not be forgotten after his death. eventually he told me that we had to stop seeing each other bc he didn’t want me to have to watch my boyfriend die, and i got pissed at him for doubting my loyalty (also some other kids had started throwing sticks at us when we hung out) so that was the end for us but then he got caught making bombs in his basement and accidentally blew up some other guy’s hand and he got expelled from high school. i found out that other stuff when we ran into each other during the SATs. he was lying about the rabies, obviously.

ok but jokes aside a bait troll really can be literally dangling right in front of your eyes and y’all will still fall for it won’t you

[id: a photoset. six photos of avia patrexes. she’s wearing a black harness bra, a green canvas-lookin jacket, a short flowered ruffled skirt, sheer black thigh-highs with thick lacy cuffs, and shiny black heels.
1. avia faces to the left, jacket on but open. the image shows from her forehead to just below her neck but both the straps and her collarbone tattoo are visible. her bright red lipstick makes her mouth, open just enough to see her tongue against her front teeth, the focal point of the image. she has a labret, which i either hadn’t previously noticed or had forgotten.
2. this photo is neck-to-thigh, looking up. avia’s jacket is now off and tied around her waist. the tops of her thigh-highs are visible, coming up to just below the hem of her skirt. one arm rests on her waist, while the other hangs down at her thigh, in front of the camera, holding an open pocket knife (the k n i f e)
3. knees down, from the side. this photo shows the heels and socks, and emphasizes calves and ankles. importantly for perspective, the camera is at roughly floor elevation
4. face! avia faces the camera, wearing her big round burgundy glasses with little white flowers along the tops of the rims. her hair is mostly pulled back but the sides drape gracefully down. as with 1, her collarbone tattoo and bra straps are visible and as with 1, her lipstick is a striking accent to the rest of the colors in the photo. her mouth is closed
5. as 4, but avia has reached up and pulled her glasses down, holding them by one earpiece against the side of her neck. her mouth is very slightly open. her eyes are very grey and i cant stop looking at this photo.
6. i believe this photo is the same as 2; if it’s not, i’ve missed something. Similar to 2, but her shoulders and elbow are turned more forward; it’s 2 but Directed At The Viewer Now
the set as a whole is arranged 2×3, so the bright red of her lipstick zig-zags from top to bottom, offset by knife-calves-knife. the lighting and colors (and the photos themselves i think) are soft but not warm, not aggressive but not… not passive, to be sure.
end id i guess]

i have a lot more feelings but i can’t parse them and definitely can’t separate my internal stuff from description? i feel theres more to be said here but this id is already way less concrete/definite/professional than i feel it ought to be so im gonna leave it here
[Image: two men clasping hands. One of them has Mildred Hubble from the Worst Witch edited over his face. Two pictures of Harry Potter are crossed out in green at the bottom. Text reads: Friendship ended with Harry Potter. Now The Worst Witch is my best friend.]
[id: the new dr who logo–the words “doctor who” in all caps in a thin sans-serif font, in gold, with a horizontal line through the stem of the “d” and the horizontal line of the “h” cutting through the final “o”. the logo is centered above gently sloping hills, the silhouette of the thirteenth doctor standing off to the left, and the tardis off to the right. end id]
“Doctor it looks as though you’ve just taped a piece of plastic that says ‘DANGER’ over a s-”
“THIS IS ANCIENT TIMELORD TECHNOLOGY. HOW DARE YOU.”
[ID: a black and white screencap from The Daleks depicting a hand pointing at what appears to be a weight scale with a rectangular piece of plastic taped to it reading “DANGER.” The dialogue reads “But look at the needle! It’s past the danger point.”]
