i miss you, and the summers have returned.

What if the entire reason the Neverseen was formed and the reason they keep committing acts of violence is and was only to prompt the Black Swan into acting?

Like what if they knew that the world would never respond to a group like the Black Swan trying to fix it because they couldn’t see that there was anything to fix? The only reason the council agreed to work with the black swan and began to see their mistakes in the first place is because the violence the Neverseen did highlighted everything, and gave the council a reason to trust the group trying to fix it.

I mean you hear them rambling about how they “want the same things” and “need to be violent to save the world” and honestly? They were right. None of the good that the Black Swan has provided so far would’ve come if the Neverseen hadn’t caused the problems and gave them something to fight against. So what if it was intentional? And they’re still continuing their plans in order to prompt the world into changing even more for the better, forcing them to fix their problems and to truly think through good solutions.

This is even better if it’s revealed in the end that the Black Swan and Neverseen were working together.

Also, I don’t believe Gisela followed this bigger plan, and instead used the Neverseen to propel herself to her victories. Maybe she started out with them, but strew from the path.

but after a few days, Rocky knocks on Grace’s door and behind him is a container nearly overflowing with the hundreds of glasses he’s made. there is every style Grace could possibly think of, and a few of Rocky’s own designs, all with clear xenonite lenses. what follows is hours of trying on frames and finding the most accurate lenses and joyful shenanigans, and Grace fondly thinks of the day they were trying to find a good voice for Rocky.

Yesterday I saw a mother with a baby carriage, being followed by a girl of about 4-6 years old on a bicycle. The kid started ringing her bike bell like RING RING RING RING RING RING RING, and the mother turned to look behind them to see whether they were being followed by a cyclist who desperately needs to pass them for the sake of everyone's safety.

And the little girl - who just rang the goddamn bell herself 5 seconds ago - also turned to look.

me and my brother later had a small discussion about whether that could happen randomly (conclusion: no, he probably had to file papers or something) and whether daniel should now be referred to as dad’s ex-husband (conclusion: yes but only to see the face he’ll make) but at no point did we find it like... alarming? the world is big and weird. we were used to it.
