The fact I have that saved on Pinterest somewhere

HELLO HELLO!! TYSM FOR SLIDING IN HERE ❤️❤️❤️ yes!!! first time reading td3!!!! it's been wonderful because i've adored trc for 10 years and so to be able to read more in the universe feels both excitingly new and deeply familiar 🥹

during my original trc read, i didn't have strong feelings about declan but i didn't not like him. i adore ronan but ronan is also so opposite to me in almost every way that i never quite trusted his hatred of declan, or at least what that hatred implied about declan's character. but let's all blame niall lynch for the fact that in ronan thinks of his father more like a brother and friend and his actual brother as the father he should resent.

and then cdth declan pov chapters came along and absolutely bodied me lmao declan's experiences as a oldest sibling are obviously escalated to an extreme degree but as an oldest daughter myself i just want to hold him very tightly. particularly the way he represses his own emotions and hides the most interesting parts of his personality to be the safe and stable brother. really representing us oldest siblings who saw their family members with their mental health struggles and explosive emotions and general instability and thought well. i can't have any of that because if you're having a breakdown and i'm having a breakdown then who's driving the car instead i'll just have only the most neutral and safe emotions and no mental health issues whatsoever to keep my family as safe and sane as possible and i'm deciding this at the tender age of 12 and surely this will have no repercussions later in life.

BUT ON A LIGHTER NOTE i also just think declan is. incredibly funny and compelling as a character. he has never had a good day. his diet is coffee and antacids and his tummy hurts constantly. he tries so hard to be as uninteresting as possible but cannot resist a neat pair of shoes. good art makes him want to goddamn cry. he has a secret attic full of it. when he laughs a real, genuine laugh his first instinct is to turn his head like that'll hide it. he dated three fucking ashleys in a row. he cannot help himself from falling in love with dreams even though he's haunted by the constant threat of losing them. he has never belonged at home and never lived his life for himself. he curses his father for things that aren't even technically his fault but i think he should have been allowed to hit niall lynch with a bat anyway.

EEEEEEHEHEHE ty im glad u like her. heres another doodle i did of her and the rest of the club

ok, since i don't really know anyone irl who likes jackass, i'm asking y'all.

i've been a casual fan since 2021 and full-blown hyperfixated on jackass steadily since march 2024.

they're my comfort films/media, i love all the guys sm. them and this online community have brought me happiness and a feeling of belonging.

i've been debating a tattoo for a while but i'm unsure if i'll regret it. every single tattoo i have is a blatant or casual reference to some media i love.

for example, i wanted a South Park tattoo bad last year. i didn't get it, but if i did i wouldn't of regretted it. and i'm feeling the same way about jackass, as i will always love it.

It was like they were a family unit already; and if it wasn’t because of the way Buck’s eyes randomly went entirely black, and he’d disappear to go do whatever it was he was summoned for, Eddie would forget he had fallen completely in love with a literal demon.

Yay! And some excellent sentences too. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

And here are a few sentences in return…

Slowing inching forward each step a stab of pain through his body, Eddie watches Doug and Maddie Kendall face off against each other. There’s a confrontation coming and Eddie’s not sure Doug can see it. That feels right, an arrogant abusive bastard like him would never expect someone to fight back.

💕💜💕

I'm using this as an excuse to talk about cross-toothed perches they terrified me as a child
