Get car seats for my kids first.
She pointed a slender finger at Ivan, who stood at the center of a group of boys, their faces filled with admiration and envy. Ethan huffed in frustration but remained silent as he maneuvered Olivia through the crowd of students, eager to reach their respective locker rooms.
Stripping out of his regular clothes, Ethan quickly changed into his gym outfit before heading around the corner. But just as he turned the corner, he collided with Ivan, who seemed to be purposely blocking his path.
"Oops, my apologies, friend," Ivan said with a sly smile on his face, adding extra emphasis to the word "friend" that only served to further infuriate Ethan. "I didn't see you there."
Ethan clenched his jaw, barely able to contain his rising anger towards the cocky boy in front of him.
“Didn’t see you there either, friend,” Ethan spat out, ducking under Ivan’s arm and heading for the gym. He didn’t get too far when Ivan grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
“Don’t think I didn’t see you with that looney girl, friend,” Ivan simpered, his smile getting more smug with each word he spoke, “I can tell just by looking at her that she’s crazy.”
Ethan yanked his arm hard out of Ivan’s grip and took a few steps back.
“Look, you might be new here, so maybe you don’t understand the rules. The folks in this neighborhood are very protective of people like Luna. So I would suggest keeping your mouth shut before something happens that you aren’t going to like.”
Ivan’s eyebrows arched as he stepped in close to Ethan, who didn’t back away, just narrowed his eyes and didn’t break his gaze.
“I come from a very powerful family, friend, so maybe don’t threaten me with your talk.”
Ethan laughed loudly as he turned on his heel and walked away. Olivia’s family was also powerful and yet, almost no one saw her rubbing it in people’s faces. Ivan clearly didn’t know how this town worked.

sometimes you’re hit with a friendly realization that yes, life is good. you have your comfort characters and you have archive of our own. life is actually beautiful
Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.
I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.
Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
