aksnskajdhskanjs WONDERFUL QUESTION AND THANK YOU THIS TOOK DAYS TO WRITE BUT IT WAS NICE TO BE REASSURED THAT I DO STILL LOVE HER (AND HER GIRLFRIENDS, BY PROXY).

quick psa below for anyone who follows me for overwatch; otherwise, you can skip to the blue text & read more for sym gushing

im gonna preface this by saying my knowledge of overwatch ends in about mid to late 2019, which is right around the time i finally and miserably acknowledged that i could no longer play sym in the game because i could not adjust to sym 3.0. (for context, when blizz announced her 3.0 rework in 2018, i crawled under my desk and cried; there are pictures). while i also played rein and lucio, my real joy was playing sym and once i could no longer do that, i basically stopped playing. i’m not good at fps. there’s a lot going on. i scream a lot. i cannot aim. overwatch remains my first and only fps. i just couldn’t handle letting my friends down as a bad support-turned-dps as i cannot aim (even though they insisted i did not let them down) plus eventually a lot of other folks stopped playing, i got busy, blizzard continued to suck ass, etc. sym 3.0 was a personal death knell for my SI in overwatch

SO the last thing i read was the bastet short story and the last new chara i cared about was baptiste. i got soured on the fandom and the shipping base and crawled out of it into a perfectly happy ot3 isolation bubble. i say all this NOT to sound unhappy about this question, but to set up for the single boundary that i MUST enforce when it comes to overwatch:

i do not want to know anything about ovw post 2019!

this may sound harsh but i don’t care about overwatch lore anymore!this is simply to prevent my brain from just absolutely self-imploding. i have a clear and complete outline for the take to the skies series and i only care about that series (and the demons/witch au) and a few other things that ive written; i do not want to corrupt that. i’ve heard whispers about sym lore updates and im simply not engaging with that. i don’t need to know nor do i want to! thank you, good night! i’m content to willingly live in denial.

you see, my satya “symmetra” vaswani lives safe and sound in my brain. blizz can’t touch her.

satya vaswani, also known as symmetra to her teammates and also her enemies, is a character near and dear to my heart! i knew nothing about her until i stumbled upon the fact that she was intentionally written as autistic. this was at a time in my life where i had recently discovered i was too, in a fun (not) series of events, and so i latched on immediately, not to mention when i started playing her, i found a niche and became a rather successful sym (which to me means being helpful, getting kills, STAYING ON THE FUCKING POINT, and not getting in the way). i don’t remember what my hours ended up being on her but im pretty sure it was well over 100 and since the servers are gone??? i’ll never know? im not downloading ovw 2 to find out. it’s probably on my old blog. GAH. im not here to be be salty about blizz.

SATYA.

satya, much like nora, is a side[ish] character that i have taken every scrap of canon lore and extrapolated to the stratosphere. i acknowledge that i have surpassed canon and inserted my own, especially when it comes to her childhood.

that being said

here’s canon:

After she was identified as one of the few capable of becoming a light-bending architech, young Satya Vaswani was plucked from extreme poverty and placed in the care of Vishkar’s architech academy, never to return home. Isolated and lonely in her new life, Satya immersed herself in her education and training. She quickly grasped the applications of the technology and was one of the top students in her class. Satya approached hard-light manipulation differently than her peers, with their more procedural, mechanical constructions, instead weaving her constructs in the motions of the traditional dance of her homeland.

and then i, to recap practical ghosts to some extent, made it worse. she was singled out for a scholarship by the vishkar academies who intentionally sought out young kids with high compatibility with hard light tech. she has an older brother aditya and a younger brother krishna and her mom karishma. her father died when she was three; she is, at the time of pick up, eight.

she’s taken away to the fledgling vishkar town of utopaea where she atends the prestigious vishkar dawn academy boarding school. fairly quickly she takes to HL. it just makes sense to her and she loves it! never mind that she’s without her support net for the first time ever. higher up staff order her teachers to excuse her ‘problematic’ behaviour because they don’t wan to damage the prodigy in the making. her mother fights to have satya come home regularly and succeeds in making sure she gets to visit. the higher up staff even court these wishes, hoping that karishma will see the good in vishkar’s training and ABA therapy but satya’s mom sees her daughter’s personality changes and misery and the way she talks about her autism now, the bullying she receives from both adults and students, the way she only seems to focus on architecture. she doesn’t like it one bit. and after four years of this back and forth fight between vishkar execs and karishma over the 'budding jewel’ of vishkar, karishma finally finds another school closer to home and begins to make moves to take satya out of vishkar academy at the end of the school year.

in response, vishkar ensures that satya has no family left to go home to. they also make sure that not only it looks like an accident but a specific architectural failure that galvanizes satya’s single track minded drive to make the world a better place in which no one ever loses their family to a building collapse again. she becomes a ward of vishkar through a series of legal dominos vishkar had in place; she’s only twelve. she never finds out that vishkar is the one who killed her family (except for in this little riff i did on twitter that may or may not load). ALSO funny that i named it indomitable, bc i didn’t know what rwby was when i wrote that XD. anyways i have all my tweets downloaded but it’s not that important.

practical ghosts is a fun narrative because it’s told completely outside of satya through documents about her (with the exception of three little chapters at the end, only one of which is from her POV) it’s my fave of my satya vent fics. PG is in line with on the run from tomorrow and thursday’s daughter’s genre of 'no one asked me to go this deep with canon plausible backstory but i did anyway!’

satya NOW though. she comes to the watchpoint, essentially surrendering her vishkar insider info in return for asylum, and proceeds to have the meltdown of a lifetime the second no eyes are on her. she throws herself into discovering how much of her life is a lie (her first comic, where she begins wondering, inspires much of this, as it obvs happens before; while i have read her 2020 comic, i don’t use it at all except to smile because it did not contradict my HCs or if it did i ignored it; i was made vaguely aware against my will that she has history with LW but again, i don’t care)

she’s sassy, she’s deadpan, she’s devoted, she’s practical. she loves dance and cooking and all forms of gymnastics, skating, and ribbon arts. she’ll take you to task for doing stupid shit and explain how you should fix it in the same breath. she’s ruthless when it comes to making other’s take care of themselves. she’s harder on herself than anyone else dares to be. she likes birds. she likes making new ways to stim that aren’t obvious. she has reclaimed her arm and her relationship with it. she’s done an absolutely stellar job of reinventing herself in the wake of everything she’s done and been involved with. she’s taken all of vishkar’s tech and made it better and more accessible. she prefers rebuilding missions more than combat ones. she loves drinking tea with ana. mei was her first human friend outside of vishkar; athena was her first friend at the watchpoint. her and lucio actually get along fine eventually. she is fearlessly devoted to those she loves. she’s an early riser and early sleeper. she still cries sometimes when she allows herself to stim unhindered. she is a huge fucking demiace lesbian. she doesn’t give a fuck about gender. she wears heels so she can discretely toe-walk and dresses because they’re easy to move in. she can and will talk your ear off about her special interests but only if she loves you.

NONE OF THIS IS CANON

last i checked in canon, and based on voicelines, satya hasn’t even LEFT vishkar. she’s just doubting. she’s still there under their thumb and i mean sure yeah that’s fine but that was the great of overwatch HUGE sandbox, no plot, WOMEN, and oh my gods an autistic woman of color with the most wonderful voice and voice actor ever (hi ms bhimani i hope you’re having a LOVELY day)

i took to sym because i wanted a more hopeful future for myself and i am awaaaaaaaare ive projected on her very hard but i gotta admit the fact that i turn 28 (her age) this year might have actually just made me grin like an idiot because oh my god i could NOT imagine that when i first got into overwatch in early 2017. jesus fuck i was twenty, i could barely see past my own nose. i REMEMBER tho, being like heeheehoohoo one day i’ll be satya’s age that’ll be wild. complete hypothetical. ANYWAYS

i don’t think im really answering the question here.

haven’t even got to my favorite fuckin head canon. i SCREAAAAAAMED SO LOUD when i realized this. fuckiing rip to my friends bc i was in game and i was playing with a skin i had just unlocked and i noticed something incredible-

satya has a prosthetic left arm. she has two skins though where she looks more like she’s wearing a school uniform. i think they’re called architech and utopaea? but hey. hey. hey you know what she doesn’t have in those skins?

her prosthetic.

SO. my second saddest and most favorite headcanon is that as an 18th birthday gift, when satya technically became an adult and thus could leave vishkar, vishkar offered her a choice. to quote 'nothing here to run from’:

Just shy of her Academy graduation ceremony, an offer was made to officially cement her place in the Vishkar Corporation.
“We only offer to the best and the brightest, Satya,” Sanjay had said, grasping her left hand in his right. “Wouldn’t you love to be the perfect architech, ready to change the world at a moment’s notice?”
By the time she was eighteen, Symmetra only had room for perfection.

BECAUSE YEAH

i heavily headcanon vishkar to be just as bad as talon, since they are heavily intertwined. i would not put it past them.

so yeah, heavy heavy heavy disclaimer that i love satya 'symmetra’ vaswani a normal amount but due to the inherent need to extrapolate a million things from a game that initially had three rubber bands and a paper clip worth of lore for her, i humbly recognize that the version of her that i love does only live in my head. and im okay with that!!!! but i love her canon self too, otherwise i would have never gone so feral about her to write over like 100k of her being loved, growing, living and learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gods i need to write her again.

also she has the best skins in the fucking gaaaaaaame she’s so pretty and i am GAY

UCSF today: all is holding steady! They didn’t do growth measurements but all dopplers are normal still, hearts beating away, active babies. The fluid around A decreased slightly (it’s still high and out of normal range but going in the right direction) (it was 11+ and now 10.1, I think); the fluid around B increased to 6. Normal is 2-8. My cervix looks good and no signs of pre-term labor as of now. Week by week!

I am not complaining (or maybe I am but I don’t mean it) but getting into/out of the city is a major headache. Coming from where we live, we have to drive all the way through the city to get to the hospital. There is no easy way and it’s traffic-y and people-y and cutthroat. Even riding passenger is stressful. It makes for a long day no matter what. I dropped the girls off at 7:45, home around 8, on the road by 8:15 and checked in to my appointment just before 10 (zero stops).

Ultrasound from 10:15-11:30 ish - including letting an intern scan and practice dopplers. Straight up to meet the MFM to go over the scans/numbers. We left around 12:30. We did stop for a late lunch around 1:30 in Corte Madera and I waddled inside right at 3pm.

It didn’t help that I was up at 4:45 working for several hours. I worked all day from my phone and then cleaned up a few things this afternoon. It was a super slow email day and I am really caught up on my projects.

Maya’s 504 was at 3:15 so I cut it close but it worked out perfectly actually. It was super short because she’s doing really well and we don’t need to make any changes to the plan. Her teachers all said that they see a difference in terms of focus/organization/follow-through with the meds. Maya says she feels it too. I have noticed zero change to her personality or core “Maya-ness”; no sleep or appetite issues or even changes. Everything has been positive and subtle. I am glad we went in this direction. Her grades are beautifully average, lol. Everyone loves her but obvi I love her the most. Happy to check that off my to-do list and delete the emails relating to the meeting.

My dad came through and drove all the way over, picked up the girls from school, got them fro-yo, had a dance off & then had to get back on the road to make it to his late afternoon commitment or meeting or whatever he has tonight. The girls had not made much progress on the very reasonable list I left for them but luckily I wasn’t home late so I could nag them through it. They both finished their homework, put away laundry & walked up and bought themselves burritos for dinner. I am still full from my late® lunch - which was delicious! I had a beet salad and the Asian lettuce wraps. Plus so much bread because Cheesecake Factory demands it.

Tomorrow Cora has a field trip that she is really excited about. I seriously cannot believe how close it is to the end of the school year; it really snuck up on me. 2.5 weeks!!! So freaking proud of them and me for pulling a rabbit out of a hat this year. They missed barely a school, maybe a day or two each total, have zero tardies, participated in all of the things, projects turned in. We’re limping to the end but we’re doing it.

Busy weekend incoming, in 3-2-1…

Tomorrow is looming - it feels like a big day but there have been a lot of “big” days in the last almost 3 weeks. I feel like I am prepared for either outcome, as best as I can be. I am a realist, through and through, but even I let myself get excited and comfortable with the idea of having twins - everything up to 20 weeks was textbook smooth (minus the culturing of the amnio for one twin, but that wasn’t alarming, just annoying).

We have to leave for the city super early - it’s going to be an incredibly long day with a lot of tests and then info to take in and consider. I have next week to think about things (if there isn’t an immediate direction). I really don’t want to have a lot to consider - I want a shining light guiding me to one side or the other. It’s ironic, in a way.

When Roe fell, I pulled the plug on my plans to move to TN because I saw the writing on the wall and I did not feel it was fair to my daughters to move them to a state I knew would be restrictive or prohibitive and control their bodies and choices to a degree that made me physically ill. I lost a substantial amount of money and it fractured my friendship (again) with my oldest friend. I am sure there was judgement from many. And yet - here I am, in a situation where I am so thankful to have access to choice. To evaluate and make a decision that is best for me, for my living children and also my unborn children. Even the possibility of making these choices is agonizing and it’s a position I never envisioned for myself. It really has lit a fire in me to fight harder for abortion rights and access for all. Such a heavy, important topic and I won’t be ashamed of any choice I make. I know it is being made with love and careful consideration, and I truly believe I am not in the minority by a long shot with that at the core of decision making.

Oof.

This week has felt pretty normal, all of this aside. Cora had soccer practice x2 + I stayed and chatted with other parents and truly enjoyed sitting in the sunshine and watching her. I got my eyebrows waxed and a haircut. I had my annual eye checkup. Work hummed along, quite busy but very manageable. I did school drop-off all 4 days and split pickups with Nate. We did not go out to eat at all, thanks mostly to Nate’s parents sending over lots of food. I caught up on a few lingering tasks. I generally feel like it was a “good” week. I needed it.

My dad and his wife are tapped to handle kid duty tomorrow. I have their schedule written out as per usual - school drop-off and pickup, Maya to an ortho appointment and Cora’s second to last soccer game (luckily it’s a local one!) + dinner. I hope we aren’t home too late but who knows with the amount of appointments we have stacked and city traffic, which always sucks and even more so on a Friday.

Next week could obviously go a couple of different ways. I have a busy calendar at work, a dental cleaning + my regular OB appointment. Maya has at least 3 flag football commitments and I have no idea about Cora’s soccer schedule. The spring season will be technically over but her coach seems to practice relentlessly regardless. I have Maya’s annual 504 meeting. Maya has another Bar Mitzvah next Saturday. Hopefully life doesn’t get derailed by heartbreak.

It’s hard to fathom that I have only been in this TTTS/pregnancy complications Hell for just under 2 weeks - feels like a lifetime and yesterday. The 20 week ultrasound, when it was diagnosed, felt totally normal for the first hour+. The tech had been focusing on Baby A, who was measuring perfectly on track and had plenty of fluid. I could tell toward the end of though she had noticed that there was something off (too much fluid). She moved to Baby B and things got weirdly quiet and tense and I just knew it was SOMETHING.

Our MFM rushed in and did some scans and said, “It looks like there’s some twin to twin happening”. Because B didn’t have a visible bladder, it was already at least Stage 2. Before we left the office she was on the phone with UCSF.

Everything moved in slow-mo and on fast forward from there. I got a call that night from UCSF, scheduling me for a day of scans and tests that Wednesday. Tuesday I had to figure out what to do with the girls - my dad and his wife were set to fly out to Boston for two weeks but canceled their flight and drove over Wednesday AM. They stayed in Airbnbs around here until that Monday, which was extremely helpful. They did all of the kid shuffling Wednesday through Monday. It is the most time they’ve ever spent with the girls and was actually really good for them and the girls. Because they had this trip planned, they had already cleared their calendars so it worked out in that sense.

I had extreme anxiety about the surgery itself - I have an anterior placenta, which I thought would be a good thing but actually made it more complicated. Luckily, they were able to access it and had visibility but getting the right angle was really painful. I was sort of in a twilight state but I felt that part and ouch. I am 8 days out now and the soreness is gone and I think the imminent risks of infection or water breakage are over, which is a relief. Now it’s just a matter of seeing if the babies can rally and equalize, and if there was any damage done while everything was (is?) so unbalanced between them. Especially looking at noticeable brain damage (fetal MRIs will be able to show anything severe) and heart issues with Baby A. Plus if B doesn’t have the right amount of fluid he won’t develop normally - they need adequate fluid to move (+ get stronger/grow) and practice breathing, which will mean his lungs won’t develop properly. It’s a lot to take in.

Preterm labor and birth was always a concern with twins but now the risk is heightened. Most people who have this surgery, when it is successful, deliver within 10 weeks. I was almost 21 weeks when I had it… 31 weekers would not be great news but it’s not worst case. Anything before 28 weeks is pretty risky for complications (though of course plenty of preemies born before 28 weeks are perfectly fine but these babies are already fighting an uphill battle). Viability is 24 weeks, technically.

I feel slightly more comfortable the last day or so - could mean the fluid is more even? Maybe A’s over abundance is being absorbed? This could happen, per UCSF. I think I have felt both move more, which would be a positive, but it is really hard to say for sure. Having an anterior placenta makes it harder to feel them. B moving more could mean he has more fluid and is doing what he should be doing.

ANYWAY, I can only wait and see, which is horrible.

I’ve been leaning on Nate to do a lot of the driving and shuffling this week. I did school drop-offs in the AM but only pickup 1x. I did zero soccer practices for Cora. I did take Maya to her flag football game Thursday and Cora to her soccer game this AM, both of which I wanted to do (Nate could have done both). My sister came up Wednesday when I was at UCSF and did the school pickup and after school runaround and then took the girls to dinner. It’s all super helpful but I miss normal life.

Next week Cora has at least three soccer practices and her final two games - I will miss her game Friday evening, sadly, but will be there for the last one Saturday. UCSF said Friday will be an all day affair - we have to be in the city at 9AM so my dad and his wife will be here bright & early to do school drop-off, then pickup, Maya’s ortho appointment and Cora’s game. The show must go on.

TO TASTE THE STARS

chapter 5

𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 | 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞

I’d love to have cohesive thoughts about Varian and his character at large, but every time I see him my brain blanks out and just goes “hehe, small” so that’s unfortunately impossible

No but have y'all ever though how TharnType is bearable and gets this love ONLY because of Gulf and Mew’s acting??

It is their acting that bought a not even half-baked dumpster fire that not only bought the characters to life but EVEN saved it.

Like Type’s attraction on finding a homosexual man as he developed the notion that all homosexuals are abusive and when he talks about the abuse and when his nightamares about it(not just bad but harmful writing, Mame), coming to terms with the attraction- at least on a physical levek initially and then emotional one, his possessiveness and jealousy over Tharn that he knows is unwarranted, how he breaks up when we can see he is still in love too but trying to hide that from Tharn, his fear to marry Tharn, how he looses it at his boss, how he deals with Fiat as a patient (before tying up- seriously Mame?? You thought a character who was tied to chair and abused would do that to other person- yeah if you showed him as an asshole without compassion , maybe i would believe his action with Fiat but no you didn’t - you wrote him someone with compassion who is just shy and doesn’t know how to show it, the scene he tells Techno that Tar isn’t lying about being gang r***d), how he tells Tharn that he wants to marry him but after he gets ordained, how he feels insecure about how he looks after getting out of monkhood and the wedding.

And even Mew (no I am not going to discuss in detail of how Tharn forced to have sex as a minor with his senior and that being saturatory rape was glossed over like, you know- no big deal, how he deals with his homophobic roommate (sexual assualt not counted- and neither the the narrative - hey at least he didn’t rape you not counted), how he is confused why the hell he cares for someone who clearly hates his community, how he feels guilty and concerned after hearing about Type’s history of abuse, how he takes care of him through nightmare, how him crying over break up and when they get together makes us cry too or when he thought Type cheated with Fiat on him (that is so so fucking dumb, mame and to attempt to write it by saying something similar happened in his parent’s past- bad writing again) how he understands when Type wants to get ordained wait he also did understand when Type went to hook up with other girl but still he hasn’t always respected Type’s choices or even taken them into consideration (like when in season 1 he assualted him when drunk and asleep so the question of choice didn’t come, how he forcefully gave him a blow job him, how he didn’t understand why Type didn’t want to marry) and how he goes back to him all apologetic and the happiness when Type takes him back.

I cannot.

Type was a character - that you want to hate but can’t because you understand where he comes from and want to protect him- and all this was left unexplored.

Tharn was, I assume was meant to be written as a shitty dude in reality but whom you can’t hate because he is a legit sunshine and has nice intentions even if he doesn’t act accordingly.

Like if it wasn’t their acting- I wouldn’t feel half of what I feel for their characters.

(also this was only supposed to talk about their acting but i shouldn’t be surprised mame’s bad writing also was a huge part of the post)

Happy to have helped!

I kept asking any doctor I could find about this all my life, but they always just shrugged and ordered an audiology assessment for me, which didn’t tell me anything. I thought I was the only one who had this problem, for decades. Then I found it online and was so relieved to know it had a name and it wasn’t just me!

I find that wearing Flare Audio Calm ear plugs makes the episode conclude sooner, and if I catch it early enough to put them in before it starts, they can keep it at bay. It’s triggered by being around noise or loudness, and also by being tired. Best $20 I ever spent!

I absolutely LOVE Type ONLY wearing Tharn’s tank tops for bed. If that is not the biggest I love you, idk what it.

今だけ贅沢。
幸せな時間💗
いつか2人にも食べさせたい。
