i watched 1464 / 218 for 2025

and my watchlist is now 344!

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam.

every three months he'll post and in the author's note there's some shit like "sorry this took a while, i got shot seven times :/" or "i know it's been a minute, i literally got hit by a bus and then stabbed in the leg, but i'm all good!" or sometimes ned would log in and post with a note "hey i'm a friend posting on the author's behalf, they're healing from severe hypothermia but promised an update, so here it is!"

and the fic just gets increasingly more popular for the author notes alone. a good handful of the comments are something along the lines of "i'm not even in the star wars fandom, i'm just here to see if the author is good" or "every update i cheer for another day the author gets to live at this point"

and any reader who is a native new yorker kind of pieces together that holy shit the author might be spider-man because the timeline adds up, and they just fully embrace it. spider-man will stop a robbery and the guy behind the counter will ask when the next chapter will be up. spider-man returns a stolen backpack to a girl and she'll tell him that he "really got poe's voice down so well, it's really impressive."

ned thinks it is hilarious. mj finds out about the fic from twitter, to peter's absolute horror, and changes peter's contact name to "friendly neighborhood ao3 author". but the worst thing to happen is after an avengers battle where peter took a pretty big hit and ends up in med-bay. and during a press conference, when someone asks how spider-man is healing, tony just drops "spidey won't be down for too long. the star wars fic will be updated within the week, probably."

The week is long.

spring break is a week long. it's the week where everything goes down and the world almost ends

The silver cat feeds –

vecna is the silver cat. he feeds on people's suffering when he haunts them and kills them. he absorbs their life force.

– when blue meets yellow in the west.

mike and will ARE blue and yellow, it's not debatable at this point. it's so specific that blue is MEETING yellow in the west, meaning yellow is already there. will is already in california, mike meets him there. also, vecna's first attack, or "feeding", was more or less the same day mike left for california.

A trip to china sounds nice –

russia and china are on the same side of the world and are both communist. one of my mutuals back in the day pointed out that this could also mean them going into the upside down. it's a gag that if you dig straight down in america you'll end up in china. dig straight down...into the upside down....

– if you tread lightly.

The Day Of The Long Breath

Those born on November 3 are fighters with the stamina and endurance to hang in there, no matter what. They are highly competitive, if not actually contesting others then striving for their own private achievements and goals. The idea of bettering their position or standing occurs naturally to them. Under pressure they are usually cool, although they often reserve an explosive power which others can palpably sense. A certain deadly calm descends on them in trying situations that does not bode well for their opponents. In executing attacks against foes, both men and women born on this day can be quite merciless.

November 3 people know how to wait. They do not like rushing anything they do, and generally believe that time is on their side. They may give others the impression that they are procrastinating, but remain focused on the precise moment to act. Therefore November 3 people rarely risk defeat due to impulsive or premature maneuvers. Their tactics can still take their opponents by surprise all right, but probably because of meticulous calculation rather than impulse or intuition.

Those born on this day indeed do not like to lose. Their mania to win out in life can cost them dearly when they are faced with bad fortune. As a matter of fact, a run of bad luck emotionally or financially can wipe out their moral reserves, leading to depressive and, in extreme cases, suicidal feelings. Thus. November 3 people are not only winners but also sufferers, and they can really get down into their suffering, clam up and let others know about it with one hollow-eyed look. On the other hand, when they are in a good mood (usually because things are going well for them) they can be extremely entertaining. On such highs they can even go off in a manic direction.

November 3 people's powers of concentration are usually excellent, as are their mental and physical development, but the expression of their feelings is often blocked. They may send up a wall against any probing of their inner thoughts and emotions, resisting most personal examination. Yet they can be quite sympathetic and empathic toward others, readily understanding their problems. Very deep people, those born on this day are nevertheless unlikely to fathom their own profundity.

Not only do November 3 people make bad enemies because of their physical presence and intelligent battle tactics, but also because of their satirical and sarcastic bent. They are quite capable of tearing an opponent to pieces verbally. November 3 people must learn to temper their aggressive side and to express their emotions in a more harmonious and flowing manner. Fighting their own intolerance as well learning to be more forgiving, accepting and open are crucial to their personal and spiritual development.

Strengths:

Persistent

Concentrated

Triumphant

Weaknesses:

Suffering

Procrastinating

Depressive

Advice

November 3 people must beware of their tendency to suffer and to control their emotions at all cost. This behavior can lead to all sons of psychological and physical problems. Psychologically, depression and self-destructive impulses are a threat. On the physical side, internal abdominal (particularly excretory) organs may be adversely affected, which in extreme cases can mean malignancies, kidney stones or ulcerative conditions. Most November 3 people love to eat, and may not be sufficiently concerned about their high fat, alcohol and protein intake until they suffer physical symptoms. Therefore, either their eating habits will have to be regulated in some manner, or they must balance their indulgences with a healthy dose of exercise.
