deadlines. why. i just wanna cry to songs and art and books. i want to listen to my comfort traveling in a fantasy land playlist i just made. why must i do coursework. i just want to sit in the sun and be. i just want to make my little cup of tea in the morning and listen to my little podcasts and make my little lunches and smile as i fall asleep to my little daydreams. why must i be stressed. this is a scam.

@levi0sanotleviosAa much like tubbo and ranboo, i’m sure—it was just so sudden, i thought he was going to pull a Chekhov’s gun with the lava, but not like that, that was messy and clumsy and brutal, and apparently it’s gonna get proper angsty later in the script, which scares me a bit ngl (:
