The Archivist
I saw somebody else drew this but I’ve had it in my gallery ever since I started tma so I thought I’d bless you
[EDIT: FINALLY FOUND THE ARTIST FOR THIS. @time-woods ]
I am, in fact, very normal about this podcast (:
TMA is something I’ve never seen coming. The rapid 180 degree changes, the whiplash from which hits you hard, makes you fall out of your seat and stare in the middle of the wall, wondering “..what just happened..”
Never have I ever been so inspired, driven by something so invigorating, so potent in its way of conveying emotions.
So many days have been met with lost eyes, absolutely aghast at what I just listened to. So many nights and unwise decisions to listen to one more episode, just one, and then dozing off with the first glimpses of dawn
I regret nothing. Not the tears, not the pain, not the time. TMA, thank you for introducing me to the part of me I didn’t know I had.
And close-ups!!
Unless you hit me in the face with a brick that says “I’m flirting with you,” I’m most likely just gonna think you’re being nice.
I am not usually a very physically affectionate person, even with close friends. I think I am mostly scared to push any boundaries or make people uncomfortable so unless someone initiates a hug or something, I never dare. But I do imagine that when Clive comes back, my best friend returned from the dead, no matter the complicated circumstances I would run to hug him tight.
Overall, how would react if a usually non-affectionate MC were to suddenly be all over him after his return?
your oversized puppy :3
Honestly he'd just stand there, his brain would short circuit on the spot.😭
Whatever reason he had for coming there? poof, gone. Memory lane? what is that. The truth he yaps about all the time? no one cares.
What matters is: you're being affectionate. You're. being affectionate. He doesn't even care about the humiliating overwhelmed squeak he just let out.
That's it- no thoughts, no words, just pure overload, you managed to break him.
ALSO! Don't worry about it much anon, you deserve affection, truly. It's nice of you to worry about boundaries but if you want to be affectionate with someone it's okay to ask if they're comfortable with it first to be sure. You don't have to deprive yourself, just communicate, hugs and love (platonic or not) can be such a beautiful thing when consent is mutual so dw!! (hope it makes sense☹️)
