My backtags
Iris tag-in
Chishiya tag-in
TO-DO
bringing fire finn energy to my tags this evening. get hardcore about this.
starfaring: we need a new thread. i will get a starter up for adoption today!
I'm thinking maybe I come up with an NPC-style thing for the first few tags, then have Finn come in later?
Maybe I write a starter that covers a handwaved series of events that Finn has contacted Itachi like 'you need to get me out of here please, i got busted' and we start with Itachi + Bones arriving? I can play an orphanage lady haha
Nice!
If anyone else wants any starters + if you want me to hit up your starters, let me know. I've basically slept on this whole log and I want to fix it.
There have been some times in the Em + Sam house this month. 
We keep trading bad days.
We keep trading bad days.
derkins: def gonna hit your starter!
dw about it... i havent touched an rp in days 
how is the baby doing? 
currently [ car honk sounds ] and hopefully will be for the rest of the night
i have been thinking about the little nugget and also you, the big nugget
weh ty friend 
They are good!
They are SO good
love this roboman
I think those are good places to wrap up! They packed all the feelings in there.
THEY SURE DID
Natasha - this is gonna kill me
and with that... empty inbox??? FIRST TIME IN MONTHS????
probably not months, but it feels like months
the woodshed energy carried me through
You are very strong!
thank you friend
Starter for Bones & Itachi - BackAgain and starfaring please forgive me deciding to roleplay an annoying phone tree LOL
I think you can start with them just arriving in the administration building! I'll just NPC a little adoption coordinator to make it a little more fun until Finn can get into the mix.
Lmfaooooooo
i'm being extra today
Iris Starter - let me know if this works derkins LMAO
I know we talked loosely about doing orphanage stuff with them, but I can change if we want a different flavor! I was imagining maybe Iris just got processed and put in the same sleeping quarters as Finn + saw Finn's name on one of the beds & asked another boy where he was + is now being a gremlin at him
just standard fare for the two of them
Chishiya Starter - stealth orphan mode activate
to do list cleared, inbox empty. feeling good tonight, lads.
A2 - he's trying very hard.
i love him
where can i bottle some of this max productivity for myself
and hes not wrong she just wants her friends back
she deserves it okay
nereids: idk but if you find out, let me know, this never happens to me
i love them sfm
we can wrap it there!!!
i need them to meet in the flesh and metal
me too, VERY much
Ziggy - WE'VE GOT A KISS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
TWO KISSES
simpledog i hate them
derkins I am so dumb, I remembered way too late that you said you weren't doing orphanage things. I'm going to keep the starter as is in case you want to run with it, but I am drafting a new direction to edit it to if you want to change!
ummmmmmmm i can see if i can find a reason for him to be there but if you have a new idea lmk? where is finn staying when he gets out of the orphanage?
derkins: no, let me edit! I've got a million ideas for these two.
ok!! sorry 
do not apologize, I should've edited when I realized!
shows me for doing tags at 2AM
i literally already like this one so much more 
im so proud of u tho... leeches some of that productivity from you--
and thank you so much, i feel like i'm caught up mentally for the first time in ages
tracks thread..... LMAOOOOO
Chishiya - just a little cool cover story
Minimus - continued immortality talks
Jake - JUST OVER A MONTH LATER.....
Me writing this tag like ‘you’re both about to induct this man into your family’
Yzak - continuing to be kind of snippy 
Newt - Finn second guessing his tattoo plans
Ryunosuke - making fun of Kazuma....how times have changed...
Joric - good sword talk, but also...more than that??
Itachi - emotional about these two
Natasha - spilling his guts to her, it's wrecking me
He's hers now. She's never letting this child go.
stop i'm gonna cry
Natasha - are they gonna do it, are they gonna talk about Martin
I'm living for it
Yzak - GRUMPY! BABY!
Natasha - Finn over here like “And that’s how I lost my arm........the first time”
How does everything Finn tells Natasha make his life seem worse?
He’s had a very challenging couple of years, okay 
Yeah, he sure has
I've been working through Adventure Time slowly and I think I know how weird it is, then Finn says something and I'm like...
I'm not prepared
I think the thing that is hard to prepare for, is how like....little one off episodes and jokes from early on, eventually become dominos for these increasingly BIG plot points and you often don’t realise the connections until is all happening, three seasons later
WHICH ALSO MAKES IT TRICKY TO....EXPLAIN ANYTHING....SUCCINCTLY
I haven’t even dipped a toe into Finn growing his arm back and losing it again 
I'M NOT OKAY. THIS THREAD IS SO SAD.
He's gonna get a hug before this is over. Even if he's injured.
SaroSaron: please... i need the trifecta of finn's found family giving him hugs
Finn loves and hug and honestly, HE NEEDS IT
Also, speaking of dominos, I can’t believe I stumbled ass backwards into one of my own dominoes that involve Finn’s regret
Rubbing my little hands together
LMAO I KNOW
martin really is
the catalyst
going to see him kind of kicks off every bad thing that happens to finn
for like, a year
things were already going kinda bad for him before that, but they were of his own making
in terms of 'this child getting ground up in the mill' it's all post-martin
Literally NOTHING positive comes out of meeting Martin
NOTHING
But lots of bad stuff does
wait is his dads name martin mertens...
Sure is
One of many terrible things about him
the burning urge to give that man a swirly 
LMFAO that image gets me every time......
derkins: he deserves an old fashioned bullying
I'm so glad Finn is finally getting to talk about his dad even a little 
I feel like Finn doesnt think of stuff with his dad of even being worth talking about, especially when there are so many bigger things going on
this nat thread accidentally ended up being perfect because very gently gave him an opportunity to talk without there being any expectation, but also isn't like, trading war stories
because I feel like if Finn heard half the bad dad stories on this crew (Even JAKE'S bad dad story which he still doesnt know!!) he'd kind of sweep it under the rug
Noooooooo
It’s so true but also Finn No
His constant downplaying of the shit that happens to him is so IC but also breaks my heart
ME TOO
I mean Martin's biggest sin is so mundane, and it's just, he doesnt love Finn
HE HAS BIGGER SINS OKAY, but yeah that’s. Kind of the source of it all. The original sin, if you will
He just doesn’t love or even like his son 
LMAO YEAH I GUESS THAT WHAT I MEAN, ITS MORE THE SOURCE
still determined to get this talk 
I feel like that's a more challenging thing for a seventeen year old to talk about than the myriad of like actual concrete THINGS that happen. And has a greater impact on Finn's internal self worth and image than literally almost anything else he experiences??
Absolutely. I think it is the thing that ultimately has fucked him up the most. Like, he’s got plenty of other assorted traumas, but his several season depressive episode feels directly triggered by good ol’ Martin
derkins: YES well now that someone's finally gotten their foot in the door he might start to be less of a clam about it
I need to see Iris and Finn talk about their terrible mom and dad respectively 
I will eat that thread alive
lmfao like
its funny how quickly the infirmary thread became LETS MAKE IRIS FEEL BETTER
me like hang on this is about finn's self worth issues 
stuffs iris back in a box i will turn this car back around
Finn is so good at that
He throws out reversals and trap cards
Finn's entire self worth is tied up in how he can help other people
but yes let them explore the differences and similarities of being unloved by a parent and loved by one as an extension of themselves
but on the flipside he is so needy for acceptance he will let you use him if it means you'll stay 
so he will reverse uno this... mark my words...
LMAO
they're playing with with a deck of only reverse uno cards
reverse unos and draw 24s
Unrelated but SaroSaron I was looking for another thread and landed on this one again Captcha Check
The amount I love I have for Finn + Natasha knows no bounds. This thread is so good, especially in hindsight of how close they’ve come 
safelybeds: I love that thread!
It’s so so good!!
the back to back of this wrecks me
“I could fill a graveyard with all the people I’ve been” is such a killer line
This whole thread has such Astral Plane vibes, I look forward to you getting to that episode.
