a ribbon of something that popped into my head: when the Tree/Smith is telling the story of the Brothers & says that "balance is not two forces eternally fighting, it's an ecosystem" could that be taken as the narrative actively judging the Brothers for the role they ended up taking on in Remnant? by that I mean, being judged for viewing themselves as above all the other things on Remnant, for isolating themselves from the societies they created and not being A Part of Things. they weren't a part of remnant's ecosystem. never seeing themselves as owing these people anything. this adds a whole new layer to Dark being happy that someone was worshipping him. It wasn't Dark's choice to be that way. It was Light's. this was a fight they'd been having for eons. perhaps Dark obliterated humanity because he was tiring of that battle. imagine how exhausting it would be to have empathy for thousands, millions, and have someone in your ear telling you that they're worthless? if I had to listen to that for an innumerable amount of years I'd probably want them gone eventually too. just so I didn't have to suffer the pain. but he didn't destroy the Grimm. his creations. only the thing he and Light made together.
whatever new world the brothers went to next, I hope Dark's okay. this feels more and more like familial abuse on a cosmic scale by the day.
hey you know what’s really great and also hysterical. about ‘balance is an ecosystem.’
‘the two brothers’ describes the god of darkness as the creator of:
1. the moon.
2. mountains.
3. deserts.
4. storms.
5. volcanoes.
6. earthquakes.
7. the continents as they exist today (he breaks his brother’s supercontinent apart.)
light is vexed by all of this because he considers these things to be ruinous—he accuses dark of spoiling their creation.
but
it means
that the god of darkness created the tides. plate tectonics. weather. eco-diversity. ALL ESSENTIAL NATURAL PROCESSES WITHOUT WHICH LIFE AS WE KNOW IT LIKELY COULD NOT EXIST.
dark is the reason remnant is habitable, not by divine fiat but genuinely a habitable planet. if the mythical division of responsibility is accurate (and i’m inclined to think it is, because it’s written so strongly in light’s favor and if light saw any value in these things he would absolutely have claimed credit for them regardless of whether that was true), then that implies the god of darkness Deliberately redesigned remnant into a world that could survive and thrive without divine intervention.
the god of light made a world by fiat—a world like the ever after, which needed divine agents to tend it—and the god of darkness “spoiled” it. by remaking it into a world that DIDN’T NEED THEM. a world that could only exist in its natural equilibrium, not balanced by force or calculation.
dark understood the assignment. the tree guided the brothers to an empty canvas to learn the true meaning of balance. an ecosystem. a living breathing thing that cannot be planned, only found. light doesn’t get it—light still conceives of himself as the designer, the ruler, the arbiter of balance, and he hates his brother because his brother proved the lie.
what happens to afterans when they lose sight of their purpose? they go home. they ascend. they are renewed and become themselves anew. the tree left the door open for the brothers to return when they were ready.
dark made a world that did not need gods. he made humans and yearned for their attention; in ‘the two brothers’ humans are said to be dark’s favorite creation. he delights in them. and in the lost fable we see that desire playing out through his empathy for salem, his desire to reciprocate, and his cruel retaliation when light convinces him that she lied. and then that cruelty escalates far beyond what either brother could have imagined. dark slaughters humanity—the same tyrannical violence he refused to countenance for eons, destroying the creation he loved best.
does it not naturally follow that he would go home? return to the tree, reflect on his mistakes, and come back as something new? something closer to what he wanted to be when he was still himself, before he let his brother’s warped perspective twist his own?
something, perhaps, less powerful but a little closer to human?
in ‘the two brothers’ a lonely dragon divides himself into two warring halves. we now have hard confirmation that this is only myth, not the true origin of the brothers, and its relevancy to the narrative is purely symbolic.
there are also four very humanlike spirits chained up in those relics, and of the two we’ve met both of them palpably LOATHE ozma but delight in the ingenuity of other humans. and the grimm are drawn to the relics (“something to do with their origins”).
and the spirit of knowledge strains so hard against ozpin’s framing of the narrative that salem’s rightness shines through it like a goddamned lighthouse.
(also ‘gather these magical artifacts and combine them together to bring my dead loved one back to life’ is a pretty fucking standard fantasy grief-gone-wrong trope; if dark ascended and left light behind… like eternal conflict or no, they’re brothers. twins. they have always been together and—because destruction came first—light has never known existence without dark. what would it DO to him if dark ascended and he could not?)

k-peasants asked: An actual prompt this time! I know you're busy and have plenty of things to write yet, take your time. Soo I was thinking that maybe companions (and Maxson) horribly failing at confessing to Sole. Like for example they could clear out some Raiders, companion is impressed, tries to confess BAM Sole gets fucking decked by random raider they didn't kill. I feel like you could get pretty creative with that one. Like deathclaws, something exploding, just settlers running in, other companions interrupting etc.
Then comes the second portion of this request. No, I didn't intent to kill Sole on a regular basis; it was a one-shot deal with Deacon……….. (but maybe…) Anyway, for the time being, I'll give you in the
Part 2
Hancock / Preston / Strong (Yeah, Strong… not sure why… felt like it)
(Part 1 : Danse, Deacon, Nick Valentine)
(Part 3 : X6-88 alone because of a bug)
(Part 4 : Gage, MacCready, Piper)
(Part 5 : Cait, Curie, Codsworth, Dogmeat, Elder Maxson)
Hancock : Thirty years. Thirty years of solitude. Thirty years have passed since he was able to free himself from a toxic relationship that nearly ruined what little good existed in him.
Thirty years of being content with himself alone, consuming others as if they were chems, of feeling extremely alone in the midst of his sorry heart.
He gets a swift of Jet.
Today marks thirty years.
He sighs deeply. Fahrenheit stares at him with curiosity.
"A problem?"
"Outside this one?" With a wave of his hand, he shows himself. "Nope."
His daughter doesn't insist. He's in that mood... a mood she'd rather not fuel. When he sinks in this way, there is nothing in the world that can lift him.
"Hello in there!" a voice from outside the room says.
Hancock immediately straightens up, his eyes bright, as Sole walks into the living room.
"Well, well, well, if it ain't my Sunshine in the flesh."
Nothing other than the Sole Survivor can light him up. Fahr rises from her couch with a gentle smile.
"Um, I'll go on my rounds, I'll leave you."
Sole waves as she walks by, and Hancock gives her a chin sign. He, in turn, stands to greet the newcomers.
"Well now, to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence?"
"I was passing by and couldn't help but come and say hello to my favourite mayor."
"Nah, there be nary a choice to discuss in the neighboring vicinity."
"Kelly's not bad in Somerville."
Hancock smiles as Sole laughs. They sit on the couch, and the ghoul offers his companion a mentat.
"No thanks, I'm trying to stop."
"Hmph. Pray tell, how fares it in your realm?"
"Quiet. The Castle is well-kept. Hartfield does an excellent job managing the squads, Rony is fantastic at instructing the rookies, and Preston is simply brilliant at keeping an eye on the entire Commonwealth."
"You bestows all the credit upon others whilst granting but a trifling amount to their esteemed General."
Sole sighs slightly, their gaze lost in the nothingness.
"The General is a little tired these days so my colonel and my lieutenants have the lion's share of the job."
Hancock moves gently, almost nervously, his arm around his friend's shoulders.
"Require a modicum of respite, do we?"
"Why do you suppose I came to you? I always feel so much better when you're by my side."
Hancock smiles and would blush if his skin would let it. He clears his throat, trying to keep himself in control, but his tone is far from confident.
"I'd be willin' to do anythin' to put ya at ease," he admits, realizing after how unusual it sounds. "Well, what I mean is—
"You'd drug my drink if I had one," Sole chuckles. "I know."
"Nah, not in the slightest."
The mayor sighs, trying to find more appropriate words to explain himself. He should have done it years ago. And the time has come.
"What I'm trying to say is that—
The living room door swings open, revealing an obviously irate Fahrenheit.
"Mutants attack! Three spotters have already been killed!"
Sole rushes onto their legs, grabbing their weapon. Hancock follows, although a little less enthusiastically.
"Eh, when duty beckons, we must heed its call."
Preston : The linens are being stretched out on the recycled mattress that Sole fashioned for Cait's bed, which is set up in her room of the news appartements. According to Sole, this is the final edifice that she constructed at Sanctuary, and these sheets symbolize the consecration of her town.
"What if more people come?"
"We will begin to consider the possibility of cleaning up Concord. There is no longer a single space available for anyone at Sanctuary.
"What if couples have children."
"Do not tamper with my words, Preston. You are aware of what I am referring to..."
The colonel is unable to contain his laughter. It's true that he was having a great time at the expense of Sole. The reason for this is that he is well aware of the fact that Sole asserts today that Sanctuary is completely finished, but that they will come tomorrow with a new project that might be a house, apartment, bunker, or anything else.
As Sole is leaning over to replace a cushion, Preston places the sheet on top of the pillow, and their hands lightly brush against each other as they should on such an occasion. He laughs shyly, and his General looks up, inquisitive about what is going on.
"What's that?"
The poor man, who was swelled and wondering what to do with his skin, responded quickly, "Nothing."
Sole gives a little chuckle, and their eyes appear to light up as if they have suddenly grasped something that is quite obvious.
"Preston, my dearest friend." Taking a seat on the bed, they pat the mattress next to them. "Is there anything you'd like to talk to me about?"
The Colonel embodies a desire to pass away. His foolish chuckle has not gone unnoticed by the General, and he is now perfectly capable of dying out of shame. He knows exactly where Sole wants to go. However, after the wine has been drawn, it required to be drink. In order to do so, he sits down next to Sole.
"I'll tell you the truth, and after that, I'll ask you—
 "HOW DARE YOU SIT IN MY BED?" Cait cries out as hurling her bags onto the ground while hoisting a baseball bat over her shoulder.
"Woh!" yells out Sole in an effort to calm her down. "We just putted the sheets on the bed!"
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"
Cait chases Preston and Sole while making threats, and they run away without waiting for a second warning while giggling.
Strong (seriously, I think I’m crazy) : Sole wipes their mouth after basically consuming their opponent's heart as Strong suggested —what would they do to finally gain the respect of the super-mutant— and the so-called super-mutant is noticeably impressed. 
"Puny Human now understands. Human must capture valor of great warrior who died fighting."
"But it's still cannibalism."
"What problem?"
Sole furrows their brow. Cannibalism is highly common in the realm of these massive monsters. It comes as naturally to Strong as eating a puppy. Anyway, he's already done with the Gunner's carcass.
"If not, do you have another way to celebrate a victory?"
"Eat defeated, drink, sing."
"Sing?"
Strong casts a bored gaze upon Sole, and they hope they won't have to take a punch for their attitude, but it was too unbelievable.
"Strong good singer. Mighty voice."
"I would love to hear Strong sing a song of victory then."
The super-mutant smiles a little. Sole wonders if they made a mistake. A deathclaw would smile like that before devouring a pray. Strong, on the other hand, bursts through a series of borborygmas and discordant sounds. They resist to cover their ears with their hands and eventually opt to join the sound calamity.
Strong appears to be quite happy.
"Great tiny human. Capable of singing ancestral song."
"Ancestral? I thought you were created by the Institute."
"Ancestral," the monster adds with a smile still stretch on his face. "Strong like Puny Human, very honorable little human," Strong is pleased, "and uh—
"Look, Strong! Some Gunners appear to have survived our raid over there! Let's go kill them!"
For the first time of his life, Strong is upset to finds out that he is returning to battle, but Sole pays little mind to their green companion. They've already armed themselves and are ready to take out the soulless mercenaries.

20 questions for fic writers
alright @emonydeborah said hey there's a thing and i say yes (ages later)
1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 6
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 28,070
3. What fandoms do you write for? Honestly, whatever's catching my fancy in that moment. Of the things I've posted, The Librarians is the only fandom that I've ever even posted more than one fic for.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Raising Harry (Harry Potter/Underworld) Where Selene comes across Harry playing at the park alone at night and decides that the best idea is to sorta adopt him.
Never Say He Isn't Grateful (Agent Carter/Captain America) Howard realizes he owes Peggy big time and the best way for him to repay her is to go rescue Steve.
5 Times Ezekiel Called Eve Mum and the Time They Made it Official (The Librarians) 5+1 what it says on the tin.
Second Time Around (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) Coulson went in on the Bahrain mission, May died. Oneshot re-write of the first episode that I considered expanding and have actually written other chapters for but... 🤷‍♀️
How Apep got Ezekiel Grounded for the Rest of his Natural Life (The Librarians) Season 3 Finale in the same universe as the previous Librarians fic that has a second chapter I have yet to write...
5. Do you respond to comments? I certainly try to. I'm not the best at it, but I love getting to have a conversation with anyone who likes the same things I do.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Heh probably I'm Not Your Mother but even then it's a) not really all that angsty and b) mostly that I dropped a mean bomb on characters and then ran away because I have no idea what else to do with it.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? ...everything else? Look, canon is already regularly very mean to characters. I am here to live in my happy little fantasies where everything works out.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Not hate per se but I'd left up an unfinished multi-chapter fic at one point and someone commented that I was the reason they'd lost faith in authors with unfinished works and is maybe more responsible for me not posting any of the myriad of things I have on my computer than I want to admit.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Nah. I write more family than relationship stuff, really.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Yes. Uh... it's not posted, but maybe the Harry Potter/Song of the Lioness that I hashed out at one point.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Don't think so.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?  Don't think so.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Ha! @emonydeborah and I spitball all the time (it's wonderful) and she absolutely gets credit if that parent trap fic ever gets finished, but I don't think I'm up to the group project that would be co-writting a fic.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? the Enterprise NCC-1701 dash nothing! All jokes aside, it genuinely is the only ship I go back to on a regular basis.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Uh... honestly, I don't know that I'll ever finish half the things in my WIP folder.
16. What are your writing strengths? Probably dialogue. I feel I'm pretty good at getting the character's literal voice down.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Anything happening around the dialogue. In my head these people are always moving around and doing things, but it always feels so clunky if I try to put that onto a page.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Maybe an individual word or two for a curse or endearment. I know enough Spanish I'd probably be comfortable writing in it. But that'd be about it.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Uh.... Star Trek? One sec, must check files. Yeah, pretty sure it was a short TOS thing. Hmm might need to take a look at that again, clean it up, repost...
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Posted? Probably Ezekiel calling Eve mum. Not posted? Nah, actually, don't know that there is one that's not posted.
.... @the-redhead-in-a-dress and @sun-lit-roses did you do it yet, did you do it? I wanna see 😁

Recently I've made some interesting and surprising findings about mor that seem lesser known in the fandom (or maybe I just don't dig deep enough) Also I accidentally hit ctrl z while almost finishing up the post that I spent the past hour or so typing and it deleted most of what I've typed......... with tears I retyped everything again SIGH (resulting in me not proofreading any of this) 1. So I remember seeing somewhere that says mor has both Mozart and Salieri's compositions, which I thought it was false because it's all Mozart as far as I know. Until one day I actually looked at the credit a bit closer and found this:
Tumblr media
This is the music that plays before victime de ma victoire. Mozart wrote fortepiano variations at 17 years old of Salieri's aria, so they really just used Mozart's version of Salieri's piece from one of his most popular operas???? It made me kind of mad but also this felt like a meta commentary considering it's associated with victime de ma victoire scene. It's a self aware song where Salieri is regretting, trying to come to terms of what he's done, and 'predicting' his failure. It serves as a commentary of the whole Mozart and Salieri matter beyond the scope of the show and ends in "J'ai perdu pour l'Histoire (I lost for history)." In this case it does feel like Salieri is being pushed aside in one of the worst possible ways, and I really wish some of his music could have made their ways into the musical properly. 2. I found a Playbill article talking about mor being in the middle of being adapted into English for Broadway in 2012...... which honestly I'm really glad it failed because I don't have faith that it'd be good. There's already the example of tdv, and the way they talk about it just doesn't seem... great, such as “bring shape and focus to the musical for American audiences” and "When the French write musicals, a lot of their songs are written like pop singles placed contiguous to each other, while on Broadway, it's necessary to have a storyline and a semblance of relationship.” Pop French musical isn't everyone's cup of tea and that's of course normal but the way it sounds like they're going to really Americanize it and rewrite it majorly and by storyline and relationship I take they mean needing musical motifs, reprises, and such. Just makes me feel they should just write a whole new musical?? And maybe it's just me but the tone sounds a little patronizing too? Though I do wish they could have released the cd and dvd in North America just because I'm Canadain lol Also curious if there was a time staging mor in Quebec would have been viable. 3. I spend too much of my time watching mor clips, but I've somehow never looked at performances pre proshot until recently. There were a few changes in the ~2 month (if my memory serves) between premiere and first proshot made to vivre a en crever that surprised me. First 2 screenshots from this video, and the rest from this one.
Tumblr media
First of all, no handshake at on se reverra???? It's giving 2 bros chilling in the hot tub 5 feet apart cuz they're not gay
Tumblr media
This is a little hard to see but Salieri is kneeling beside the wall as Mozart departs and it had me screaming ;; I know Laurent did kneel but I didn't know it was a thing in the French tour. This video gives a sliiiightly clearer silhouette of him kneeling but he's also blocked by Cavalieri.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Constanze running up to grab Mozart and refuse to let him go really had me by surprise and it's so heart breaking ;;;; I've been debating whether I like this better or the one that they ended up using where she just reaches out to him from the bed, because it kind of changes the tone of the scene.
Anyway thanks for reading if you've gotten this far. There's so many analysis posts I'd like to do but I simply don't have the energy to.... but if anyone wants to talk about analysis I'm more than happy to ramble lol

I have many thoughts and theories about ATSV
Spoilers below
I've seen a lot of people theorizing that Miguel invented the canon events in his mind to cope with the loss of his family, which I can 1000% see that being what happened butI have my own theory and it is a little different.
Theory #1: We know from the end credit scene in Into the Spiderverse Miguel went to several other dimensions in general and then he obviously had to recruit. During this he saw a fuck ton of similar yet slightly different events that continually happened to each spider person, thus sparking the idea of canon events. Pretty much all of these canon events take place after, during, or as a result of a Spider fight. Given the number of Spider villains with ties to Alchemax, which is known to in pretty much every universe have unstable black matter that stated in Into the Spiderverse could consume Brooklyn into a black hole. It's probably not far of a stretch that when a universe is destroyed it's because something went wrong at Alchemax. Pavitr's universe started to collapse after and where Alchemax went down. I'd bet that every missed canon event was during or after a fight that resulted in Alchemax malfunctioning and Miguel just read into those events too much because it meant that he was not alone in his suffering. The canon event that would lead to the universe he went to collapsing isn't adding up, this could be why and he's clinging to the canon events theory to cope with all that he's lost as Spider-Man because it means he's not that alone. Maybe he even realized it was Alchemax causing the destruction but he can't let go of the canon events theory because he feels guilty that he didn't save that universe
Theory #2: It has nothing to do with canon events and more about the plot. I think it's gonna be less about Spot and Jeff than it will be about the Spider people having to side with Miguel or Miles and their own moral dilemmas. The cause or truthfulness of the canon events will definitely be revealed, and the Spiders on the wrong side of that, which will most likely be Miguel's side will have to cope with that and choose if they still want to even be apart of the Spiderverse. Though what it comes down to for Miguel could go two ways
He's forced to realize he was wrong and he helps Miles defeat Spot and save his father though intensely more convoluted and angsty, I'm tired so you get no details.
Dude has like a whole motherfucking mental break what this means I don't know I'm tired and losing my train of thought
Ultimately, I think Miguel will take part in beating Spot
Theory #3: They break the 4th wall
I had more but I forgot them, if I remember any I will update this.

It's too hot tonight. Please send ice cream.
At least I'm guaranteed more cool Livio and Wolfwood panels. For now.
Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for TriMax Vol. 9, Chapters 3-4 below.
Chapter 3: LR
Aww, Miss Melanie is doing what she can for the kids despite the situation.
They know the situation is bad, though. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for.
I'd bet Miss Melanie is faster than people would guess. And I'd bet the kids know it, even if they forget from time to time, because they've been on the receiving end of it.
Wolfwood sure left an impression on the orphanage if they're still asking for him all these years later.
I'm just... gonna savor this panel.
Tumblr media
Also, I can't help but wonder with the way the text is placed. Like... it's Miss Melanie speaking, but with Wolfwood in the foreground looking wistful and in a precarious situation, I find myself wondering if he's thinking something similar, but about Vash.
I'm honestly a bit surprised Livio's giving Wolfwood the smoke break. Surprised, but glad, since Wolfwood's taking full advantage of it. He's in no rush to try and take down Livio. There's nothing he's going to savor in this fight.
Livio backstory!!! I like the part where he apparently sees Wolfwood as trustworthy enough for it. Or... possibly dead enough for it.
This is no place for a tired, lost, and frightened child.
Razloooooooooo
Gods, my boy needs a hamburger or something. He's way too skinny here.
Tumblr media
It would be somewhat upsetting to continually find letters in your own pocket with no concept of where they came from.
Heh, someone means business.
Iiiits Razlo. Hi, there, buddy... The R to Livio's L. Bold move when the Japanese language doesn't distinguish the two.
"I've been silenced." That sounds... involuntary.
Looks like the smoke break's over.
Livio's smiling, but we don't get to see his full expression. Just the skull mask.
Tumblr media
Livio with them high kicks. Even Wolfwood looks impressed.
Tumblr media
Ugh, no killing Livio, Wolfwood! Not allowed!
Chapter 4: At the Verge of Death
Oof, that was a good, clean shot, looks like.
The mercs aren't happy. They're just now realizing their place in the order of things here.
Dude, headshot like that?? Wolfwood...
Ok, this is interesting, 'cause it implies he expects Livio to get back up despite getting shot in the head.
Tumblr media
Chapel's too happy about this, the sick fuck.
Stampede Spoilers: It's interesting that they kinda gave this emotional beat to Legato in Stampede. Like, they seem to be writing out Chapel anyway, what with wrapping Eye of Michael more tightly under Knives/Conrad, and Legato's the obvious choice for someone who would get a kick out of the sadism of it all. Plus, of course, it allows that nice parallel language that he uses about not understanding the value of a love between brothers in Stampede. (I'm still not over that line. It's just *chef's kiss*. I hope anime-onlys get a chance to appreciate it after season 2. I hope it makes them twitch as much as it makes me twitch.)
Ah, here are the Eye of Michael guys. These are separate from the mercs. I get it. Not sure they'll stand much of a chance if Livio's down for the count.
Uhhh... maybe we need to forget what I just said about Livio being "down for the count."
You know, Bungo Stray Dogs has an interesting episode about what happens when you continually return individuals from the verge of death like that....
Oof, Wolfwood....
Ugh, this does not look good.
Tumblr media
Did Livio just try to kabedon Wolfwood with his foot??
Livio's having thoughts. Common, buddy. You can figure this out.
How to Take Your Medicine Like a Badass: A Guide by Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Tumblr media
Speaking of, he's gonna run out of it fast at this rate. Somehow I doubt Eye of Michael's gonna be open-handed with giving him more.
A:LKAJD:LAKJD:LAJDL:FH: I have too many feels about this panel. The genuine fear in Wolfwood's face as he embraces Livio to pull a move he's not sure is the right one out of pure desperation. Someone save them.
Tumblr media
FRACK! That's all the time I have for this tonight. That's... fine. That's ok. No need to rush. No need to rush....

Sibling Rivalry - Legacy
There is quite a lot of sibling content in Legacy DLC, as opposed to MotA or the late basegame, and there is correspondingly more approval-locked sibling dialogue. See #sibling rivalry for more. This post contains all the approval-specific sibling dialogue in Legacy with the exception of the Malcolm's Will sidequest, which will be posted separately for length.
Banter - Legacy (Warden Bethany)
Bethany: No, I suppose not. Attack from the dark, no warning. I see enough of that.
[friendly]
Bethany: It's not what I would have chosen, this life, but given everything else we've lost…
Bethany: Well, you do this for a few years, you learn not to take second chances for granted.
[rival]
Bethany: Thanks to… this life.
Blue Hawke: I'm sorry. I couldn't lose you, and I did anyway.
Bethany: The way of this world, I think.
Purple Hawke: You'd have less to say about it if you were, you know, dead.
Bethany: Sometimes I wonder.
Red Hawke: You'd still rather be dead?
Bethany: I am dead. It's just… taking its time.
---
Bethany: That corruption… that's what I was saved from.
[friendly]
Bethany: You wouldn't have let it go that far, though. You'd have done anything.
Blue Hawke: It shouldn't have been necessary.
Bethany: Maybe. But thanks.
Purple Hawke: No worries, everything is dandy now.
Bethany: Oh, quite.
Red Hawke: And I would again.
Bethany: I know.
[rival]
Bethany: If you call it saved, anyway.
Blue Hawke: I prefer it over the alternative.
Purple Hawke: A much nicer word than "dead."
Red Hawke: I do, and you should too.
---
Fenris: You must hate the darkspawn, after what they did to your home.
Bethany: I have a lot of hate, but it's not so focused. It's… deeper for a Warden.
[friendly]
Bethany: It's been a struggle to let that go.
Fenris: But you have?
Bethany: Let's call it a work in progress.
[rival]
Bethany: Some days you just have to work with what you have.
Fenris: Does that help? Accepting it like that?
Bethany: I'll let you know when I know.
Banter - Legacy (Warden Carver)
Carver: Mother shouldn't have to deal with this. I give her enough to worry about.
Hawke: Hard to call this your fault.
Carver: Trouble follows our name, I guess. The price of potential.
[friendly]
Carver: We Wardens will eventually save the world, and you… well, I'm sure you'll amount to something.
Blue Hawke: That's the plan.
Purple Hawke: Trying hard, brother.
Red Hawke: Right. Funny.
[rival]
Carver: At least you stay close to home. Must be nice.
Blue Hawke: I don't think you know what I do.
Carver: Maybe that's best.
Purple Hawke: Oh yes, bon-bons and peppermints until I am absolutely stuffed.
Carver: All right, I didn't mean it like that.
Red Hawke: What's that supposed to mean?
Carver: I, er, nothing. Nothing. Let's just figure this out.
---
[friendly, act 2]
Carver: The corruption of that… man, that's how bad it can get? Never thought I'd see it myself.
[any, act 3]
Carver: The corruption of that… man. I've been a Warden how long, and I've never seen anything like that.
Carver: I guess that's why I'm still alive. To stop that.
Blue Hawke: I don't envy you the job.
Carver: The attacks that brought me here were almost a welcome diversion. A normal assault with a normal enemy.
Carver: I should have known, really. Nothing normal about us.
Purple Hawke: And dumb luck. That's the other reason you're alive.
Carver: (Laughs.) Credit where due, I suppose.
Red Hawke: First things first, Warden.
Carver: Right. You, then everything else. Got it.
---
[rival, act 2]
Carver: That… man, and how corrupted he is? Remember that. That's what I'm fighting for.
Hawke: Like you volunteered. Is that the story now?
Carver: And what was so inspiring about buying our way out of Lowtown? At least I'm chasing something.
Blue Hawke: It is appreciated.
Carver: You're damn right it is.
Blue Hawke: Then we agree.
Carver: Well… good.
Blue Hawke: Good.
Purple Hawke: I'll arrange a "thanking queue" when we're back in Kirkwall.
Carver: Sure, make fun of the end of the world.
Purple Hawke: Best time for it, I'd think.
Red Hawke: Besides my coattail?
Carver: You're an ass. / Charming as ever, Sister.
Banter - Legacy (Templar Carver)
Fenris: You must hate the darkspawn, after what they did to your home.
Carver: Absolutely. And the magic that brought them to this world.
Fenris: Then we're agreed on something.
[friendly]
Blue Hawke: I'm not sure that's healthy.
Carver: (Laughs.) For me or him?
Purple Hawke: Tempered by an understanding that not all mages bear responsibility, right?
Carver: Yes, yes, reason rules over all.
Red Hawke: "Magic" or "mages?"
Carver: There are exceptions. Occasionally.
[rival]
Blue Hawke: I'm not sure that's healthy.
Carver: For mages, definitely not.
Purple Hawke: Tempered by an understanding that not all mages bear responsibility, right?
Carver: Oh, stow it.
Red Hawke: "Magic" or "mages?"
Carver: Depends on the mage, doesn't it?
End of DLC - Legacy (Warden/Circle Bethany)
Blue Hawke: [Hard work never gets easier.] He did what he had to, just like all of us.
Bethany: And I owe him so much. Both him and Mother.
Bethany: I wish...
[friendly]
Bethany: Well, perhaps it doesn't matter.
Bethany: Thank you for taking care of everything, [Sister/Brother].
[rival]
Bethany: Well, it doesn't matter what I wish.
Bethany: Take care, [Sister/Brother].
---
Purple Hawke: [Trouble and Hawkes go together.] The alternative being quiet lives as maids and stableboys.
Bethany: An idea not without charm.
Bethany: But you're right, being "normal" would have required wholly different parents, and I wouldn't want that.
[friendly]
Bethany: Thank you for taking care of everything, [Sister/Brother].
[rival]
Bethany: Some things, however… Goodbye, [Sister/Brother].
---
[circle Bethany]
Red Hawke: [This wasn't just about mages.] This was about finding a new life, not keeping secrets to his own "kind."
Bethany: Maybe. But I see so much of him in what I'm learning now. It makes me wonder what he truly wanted.
Bethany: It certainly makes me wonder what I want. I don't expect you to understand.
[friendly]
Bethany: Thank you for taking care of everything, [Sister/Brother].
[rival]
Bethany: I have to go, [Sister/Brother]. Give everyone my best.
---
[warden Bethany]
Red Hawke: [Still bitter? Grow up.] Look, I know it's been hard, but would you really rather be dead?
Bethany: You don't know. And if the Maker has mercy, you never will.
[any]
Bethany: I have to go, [Sister/Brother]. Give everyone my best.
(See Carver's section below for Leandra's reactions - the "friendly" version usually plays for Bethany. The "rival" version plays with the red Hawke dialogue selection, for rival Circle Beth or any Warden Beth.)
End of DLC - Legacy (Warden/Templar Carver)
[friendly]
Carver: I think… I think it'll be all right, you know? Not real soon, mind you.
Hawke: (Laughs.) I suppose it will. Not real soon.
Carver: Take care, [Sister/Brother].
[Leandra alive]
Leandra: You are not so different. Not beneath. I see so much of Malcolm in you both.
[Leandra dead]
Ghost of Leandra past: Malcolm would be happy you two aren't at each other's throats. Not all the time.
---
[rival]
Carver: So back to the way things are.
Hawke: Seems that way.
Carver: Right.
Carver: [Sister/Brother]... (Sighs). Never mind.
[Leandra alive]
Leandra: You two… fighting just makes it harder to see what we have. Malcolm risked so much. We shouldn't waste the chances he gave us.
[Leandra dead]
Ghost of Leandra past: You know Malcolm wouldn't want you two to fight. He sacrificed so we'd have a life free to choose, not always agree.

15/1/24 Fact or Fiction
Statement #1: Despite RAW having a great 2023, you still enjoyed watching Dynamite more this year. FACT - For the simple reason that Dynamite is more readily available, as I can just plonk myself on the sofa and switch on ITV4...as long as the snooker or the darts hasn't overrun again, while WWE tends to involve a trip to WatchWrestling. That being said, 2023 was certainly not one of Dynamite's banner years as they spent a sizeable chunk of the year trying to lock into a groove, but only really managed it when the Continental Classic took centre stage and allowed things to be tweaked around it without being in the glare of the audience's gaze, while in comparison Raw has been more consistent
Statement #2: Seth Rollins has had a lame duck reign as RAW World Heavyweight Champion since he has been on the same brand the whole time with Cody Rhodes, who beat him in 3 straight PPV matches in 2022 but never got a shot at that title in 2023. FICTION - The only way you can call Rollins' run "lame duck" is if the bar has raised significantly from the reigns which set the definition of lame duck in stone such as Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger or Jinder Mahal. As Riollins' reign can't be compared to any of those, as he doesn't lose all non-title matches nor is he a jobber elevated to champion in the hopes of selling some house show tickets in Iowa, calling him a "lame duck" is getting a bit too Nostalgia Critic for my liking
Statement #3: Commercial breaks during good TV wrestling matches are necessary and can be used creatively to improve the viewing experience. FICTION - Commercial breaks during matches routinely interrupt the flow and take you out of a match regardless of quality. While this isn't as bad as a commercial break in the middle of a three-minute match, where between 1/4 and 1/3 of the match is lost due to appeasing our corporate overlords, it's still the equivalent of being unable to watch the credits for a film as they've been squeezed into a postage stamp-sized space in the corner of the screen and sped up
Statement #4: Christian Cage was the MVP of AEW in 2023. FACT - While his promo and character work immediately puts Christian into the conversation for AEW MVP of 2023, what puts him over the top of guys like Samoa Joe, Mox, FTR or Orange Cassidy is the fact that he has done the impossible and revived the TNT title after a couple of years of it having its lustre tarnished by things such as the Sammy/Cody/interim/Sammy/Scorpio Sky/Sammy/Scorpio Sky hot potatoing for late 2021-early 2022 or Wardlow's eighteen month holding pattern both with and without the belt, and if one guy can undo so much damage on their own that makes them MVP
Statement #5: Since you gave a lot of scores of 8 or higher to RAW and Dynamite in 2023, if that trend continues in 2024 then the numerical scoring system itself should be changed. FICTION - Oh god, imagine if the scoring system was changed and Raw/Dynamite/Impact started getting 7/10 on the reg. Can't imagine it? Okay, well what you need to do is watch Event Horizon and skip to the scene where the original crew's last transmission is descrambled, and that's what will happen if an episode of SmackDown which ends with a lengthy Bloodline segment gets a 6.5/10
Statement #6: If you could only watch one weekly pro-wrestling show in 2024, you would rather it featured Adam “Edge” Copeland than CM Punk. FACT - ...though this is mainly down to pedantry, because Copeland is far more likely to actually be a regular face on the weekly wrestling show while Punk has already missed a few episodes of Raw since his return, which means I would actually be watching a show with the guy I expect to be there. If it were peak Punk who was guaranteed to be there three weeks out of four? I'd absolutely pick the show which Punk was on, but the Punk who is on some weeks and never mentioned others who has been missing the spark in his promos? That's why I go for the show with the guy who is far more likely to be there
Statement #7: Samoa Joe was the wrong person to take the AEW Championship from MJF. FICTION - While the most obvious guy to take the belt off the back of the Devil storyline was Adam Cole, what with him being The Devil and everything, Joe was certainly a good choice to end MJF's reign as he's been a strong and consistent onscreen presence in AEW all year (and reportedly also a strong and consistent presence backstage at Wembley...) and it certainly makes sense for him to hold the belt while also allowing AEW to reorientate their uppercard. Are there other names who could have been better calls or benefitted more? Absolutely, and that list has Swerve Strickland's name on it three or four times, but more importantly the list of potential people who would be the Xavier or Jerry Lynn in the history of the AEW title certainly does not have Joe's name on it
Statement #8: You liked the reveal of Adam Cole as “Devil” at the end of Worlds End.  FACT - While Cole was the most likely culprit for the longest time, and there were several moments foreshadowing it going back to the build to All In, that underlines how the most obvious choice is more often than not the right choice and only a swerve-obsessed doofus would have thought otherwise. More than anything else, there was a sense of relief when Cole was revealed, given the very real fears it might have been Jack Perry under the mask, especially as some of the moments were practically threatening the viewers with that possibility

'Cause if I was a man, I'd be Daron Blaaand
Tumblr media
That's right, call me the man, because the last time I posted in here was while I was doing my punishment for coming in dead last for the inaugural season of Blood, Sweat, and Beers. But these are new times, times during which the leading receiver in the NFL is Taylor Swift (receiver of attention, that is), and times of the broken down and defeated becoming the UNdeafeated... well, not really, but you now what I mean.
With only 2 weeks left in the Fantasy regular season (whaaaat), let's take a look at the terrifically average teams of Blood, Sweat, and Beers, and break down how most are still playoff contenders. Now, some of you may have that tiny Jim Mora voice in your head that's saying 'Playoffs?! Don't talk about playoffs! You kidding me? Playoffs?!', but consider this - 75% of teams in this league are still in the running to win the Golden Goat and its accompanying $350 cash prize, and that is wild.
Amon a roll (Ali) - Playing a QB, WR pair from the same NFL team is always a risk, and it seems to be paying off for Coach Ali this season. With the Herbert Allen duo, and additionally Dr. Sir Christian McCaffrey, his highness (I believe he has earned this title), Amon a roll has been able to consistently put up some of the highest single-game scores this season. However, this team faces an upHILL battle playing the highly successful Hanna conference to close out the regular season.
Highway to Hill (Jake) - Remember when Coach Jake reasonably drafted Joe Burrow who got a fat contract then laid a giant disgusting goose egg all over the beginning of Highway to Hill's season? Doesn't matter now though, because like his TE Travis Kelce, Coach Jake has shot for the stars and has snagged several strong performers throughout this season, keeping him a playoff contender. Does Highway to Hill make the playoffs? I say yes, so long as Taylor Swift attends the Chief's games the next 2 weeks.
Fields of Dreams (Lexi) - The reigning champ team finds themselves in playoff contention once again, which is not surprising, considering how Coach Lexi is a jack of all trades who excels at all she does. However, she is currently last place in the Hanna conference, and that mostert. Fields of Dreams' season will get a bit spicier at the end though, when they face the current champ, Amon a roll, with most of their team on bye week.
The Friendzone (Jack) - With 3 of the original The Friendzone starters on IR, this team must get credit for its resiliency. Similar to Amon a roll, The Friendzone is a phoenix that has risen from the ashes of last season. But this phoenix of a team has also been without life during several matchups this season, and any falters in performance in the upcoming weeks could cause The Friendzone to be friend-zoned into last place before they know it. Is the friend zone an actual place, and do mayonnaise bears live there? Coach Jack may find out.
When Life Gives You Evans (Steven) - When Life Gives you Evans, or literally when your wife (inadvertently) gives you Evans, you think you would play him to defeat your spouse with their former player. But Coach Steven did not play Evans and lost because of it, and now he must continue to Chase the waterfalls that are the playoffs, because his team is the first on the outside looking in.
Dallas wears Prada (Niki) - Dallas wears Prada sports a high-end name, but this team has put up points-for that are in the bottom half of teams' performances for this season. That being said, this team had 4 games determined by 5 points or less, and could easily have 2 more wins than their record shows. All jokes aside, Coach Niki can still kick and scream her way into the playoffs, but she is going to have a bad time if she plays her 54839574932 Cowboys players against the Eagles next week.
Rookie of the Year (Jenna) - Within a league full of near 0.500 teams, these bottom 2 teams are unfortunately the only ones guaranteed to not make the playoffs. Although Coach Jenna smartly picked up C.J. Stroud later in the season, this team struggled with overall performance from Week 1, particular consistency with the quarterback, and was never quite able to find its footing. There is a silver lining, though - Rookie of the Year ends its season playing against 2 teams that are currently ranked in the bottom half of the league. Coach Jenna may still be able to dodge The Punishment.
Duuuval of the Lights (Alyson) - Although this team name makes me the happiest, the team itself makes me the saddest :( Duuuval of the Lights currently LEADS in least amount of points-for and has the TOP losing record, therefore is currently the MOST-FAVORED contender for last place. Although Coach Niki's biases towards Dallas have seemed to generally favor her, Coach Alyson's bias towards keeping Trevor Lawrence with the Jax Jags seemed to keep her team from ever reaching greatness, particularly in the QB position. In order to NOT be stuck with the punishment, Duuuval of the Lights will have to pull off their first win in the Florida girls conference, but hey, at least it's the weakest one. :)
And now, before we go... Call me AWS Next Gen Stats, because here are some random stats that no one asked for to prove superiority in things that don't matter. You're welcome!
Girls v Boys (win percentage average): 0.450 vs 0.583 UT v FL v NV (win percentage average): 0.583 v 0.361 v 0.583 Gerner conference (v other Gerner): Tied 1-1 Hanna conference (v other Hanna): Tied 1-1 Florida girl conference (v other Florida girls): - Rookie of the Year (Jenna) 2-0 - Dallas wears Prada (Niki) 1-2 - Duuuval of the Lights (Alyson) 0-2 Utah conference (v other Utah folk) - The Friendzone (Jack) 2-1 - Amon a roll (Ali) 2-2 - When Life Gives You Evans (Steven) 1-2 Bow twins (v each other): Amon a roll (Ali) 1-0, Dallas wears Prada (Niki) 0-1 Parents v degenerates (win percentage average): 0.583 v 0.472 (setting your lineup must be a distraction from raising your children, we get it) Highest single-game score: The Friendzone (Jack), 186.6 Lowest single-game score (you suck): Also The Friendzone (Jack), 59.86
Go forth, my fantasy friends. May the best team win, and for the love of God, Niki, please continue to put all of your faith in the Dallas Cowboys, because it seems to be working out, at least for them.
P.S. Sorry not sorry for all the Taylor Swift references. It's her world, and us and the NFL are just living in it.

every so often I remember recycle rex and become angry.
For the uninformed, Recycle Rex was a short film released in 1993 by Disney in order to teach kids the beauty of recycling. Seems benign right? NO. I hate this movie. It somehow crams hours of displeasure into 12 minutes. I am going to be complaining for a while. Link to a video where you can watch it
Let's start with the opening credits (yes seriously). The very first title card is just a mess, like they had all this space and only have 5 fucking words. And why is the 'and' so far away from the CDoC name? Why even have the two sponsoring companies on different title cards? If you had just didn't have the 'and' taking up 12 miles of space, you could just conense them into one slide! How hard is this guys?! You fucked up the first thing the audience sees besides the huge Disney Logo! come on man.
Anyway we see the titular Rex and while I could make fun of the character designs, it did come out in 1993 so I will spare them. Actually, this paragraph will be dedicated to things I either like or will not be criticizing. The Voice Acting is whatever, I won't be covering. The music is all around okay (with one MAJOR exception). There is 1 "enjoyable" (read: not annoying) character. That's it, I'll be complaining about most other things.
Let's start with the opening montage of people throwing away "recyclable goods." At least that's what I assume was happening, I have no idea what the pink nightmare face was. This is alright, showing how our characters start the movie and how they don't recycle like they should yet. My only problem is that all the backgrounds are just white, they aren't anywhere interesting. They exist in a void, devoid of recycling. It just weirds me out, I feel like they could have done literally anything for a background and they would've been fine.
This is also where we get introduced to our cast of main characters. Rex is bland because of course he is. The pink one is the girl. The Red one is a nerd, while not even being too smart. He just carries a book around and acts like having the thing makes him smart. I want to beat the arelle pteranadon with a bat covered with knives. The other two are background extras.
Then two twins walk up to them. I said I wouldn't criticize the voice actors, and that is as much I will say about these twins. Actually I changed my mind. The rest of the cast are just dicks to them for no reason and I feel bad for them. Well, with their voices not really. They also have no bearing on the plot and any one of the main cast could be lowered down to their position and I don't think anything would be lost.
Then a big guy comes and starts dumping trash because there's no where else for it to go. The characters have repeatedly called this wide green texture beautiful, and sure I guess it kinda looks like grass. The kids try to stop him and he can't. I'd ridicule the plot but it's for 9 year olds. I actually kind of like the next moment, girl says they'll take the trash back to the idiots who threw it out, and she picks up the thing she threw out in that montage earlier. Actually kind of good storytelling, and the extent of my praise for this... thing.
Then nerd character nerds nerdily (he checks his book). The book is actually useless, so maybe he is actually smart. Green guy reuses the shit they threw out and makes, something. Props to the guy I guess. Nerd speaks faux french because that means intelligence. Sure whatever, I don't care about him enough to keep thinking about him.
The next bit is a criticism of capitalism, so points there. Disney has fallen since making this, as low as it already is. Basically just the kids discussing how to not produce so much trash. Arelle Pteranadon realises that she should REDUCE the amount of And, we get our first lesson. Girl says she'll buy a refill for her shampoo so she doesn't have to buy a new bottle! She then says she'll REUSE it instead of throwing it away. Wow, 2 of the 3 R's! The movie actually performs it's job! And they're worked in naturally instead of being plopped into the story without regard! I hope the trend continues for the last R!
Cut to the twins doing something. Then a sunflower lectures them on how there's only so much left in the world and we need to stop using it. Understandably placed, inoffensively delivered, let's move on. The sunflower is pretty cool though, he calls himself a precious resource which is the funniest thing in this.
Cut back to Rex moping about not being able to do anything to help. The others come back and discuss what they learned. Then they start arguing because Conflict. Then Rex starts dicking around with his bottle and sees the recycle symbol, then just happens to see a recycling sign. Randomly. Without it being visible in any previous shot. Out of nowhere. Because why continue to reveal the R's slowly, the main character just finds one. Also immediately after finding the sign and learning what Recycling is, Rex says that he always knew throwing trash away was bad, which like, bro... why'd you act so surprised at the begin- whatever. I have more important things to complain about.
And then, IT starts. The musical number. I. HATE. This motherfucking crime that Disney commited. Disney took, one of the greatest mediums of storytelling and threw it away, in the story about recycling. They did not even try. I hate this song. It's big band in that it has horns, but all the horns do is play unisons. You have, ALL OF THESE BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENTS, and YOU HAVE THEM PLAY ONLY IN UNISONS. It's also so generic, like come on guys. This instrumentation is so unengaging. The main melody (when Rex sings Recycle, Reduce, Reuse) is annoying, it's just a whole step repeated twice. The bass line is the only thing that sounds like any thought was put into it.
The lyrics to this song infuriate me on a deep level. So we all know the 3 R's Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. SO WHY THE FUCK DOES REX SAY RECYCLE, REDUCE REUSE!?!?!? COME ON MAN. The whole point of the 3 R's are to give you the most important R first, REDUCE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REDUCE YOUR INTAKE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. You recue your plastic intake, reuse any plastic you do use, and then recycle it at the end of it's lifespan. These bastards at disney took this perfectly designed mantra and tossed it to the curb. There's also the shitty rap that has no sense of flow, the entire song suffers from a lack of metrical knowledge. I just hate this song on a fundamental level.
The Lyrics don't even do anything interesting, they just repeat ad nauseum to "Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, and close the loop." Like that's it, there's a couple verses where Rex sings about recycling in general but it isn't engaging, useful, or anything. It's just 2 minutes and 23 seconds of bashing you over the head with the least interesting way of communicating recycling to you.
Like come on, you even integrated the 3 R's in the right order, Reduce is first when that fucking pteranadon opens a treat with a lot of packaging, Reuse comes when Girl realises her bottle is refillable, and Rex just finds the Recycle Sign. The structure of the short film does a good job at introducing the 3 R's in their order of importance, but the song they wrote just throws it all out the window. This song annoys me on so many levels, and is the inspiration of this entire essay.
The sunflower shows up again, that's fun :)
This film has haunted me since I first saw it. The first title card drove me nuts and I was so annoyed by it. Then the rest of the film just kind of happens and it's whatever, I wasn't expecting much from this film for 9 year olds, but that song. That song destroys any goodwill I had for this film. The film would be forgettable nonsense for me if not for that damn song. That damn song reminds me of the film, so I go back and hate watch it every few months or so. It lives rent free in my head and I need to contend with the fact that I will be lying on my deathbed and there is a good chance that my final thoughts will be remembering this.

I.
November, 2017.
Worst month of my life, so far.
I wouldn't find out until the seventh, though.
It was a Tuesday. I took violin on Tuesdays.
It became a super fun day of the week for me, honestly. It was the only day of the week either of my parents got off early enough for me to leave school when it actually let out, not several hours after. Up to this point, my dad had been the one to take the day off to pick me up. We always made such a day out of it. His side of the family was made up of New York Italians, second generation citizens, after his grandparents immigrated to the US. Pinochle, a card game that not many people in the Southeast aren't too aware of, was much more popular up north. It became a Tuesday favorite of ours. Sometimes, he would pick up a pepperoni pizza for lunch and save me some for when we got home. I'd have my first slice of pizza, he would have an extra with me, and we'd get the cards out. I remember pissing him off so bad if I'd win. I'd always get runs, or four of a kind, or even worse double pinochle. But it was funny, we would laugh about it. I didn't have a good poker face, but there was nothing he could do about it by the time I saw the cards I had. If he lost too much, he would insist on puling out the blue-colored deck of cards, as opposed to the red we were using, as if the red cards were somehow against him. It became such a pleasant, albeit short lived tradition of ours, and something I still miss at times to this day. No matter who I share this wonderful little card game with, it's just never quite as fun, quite as competitive, quite as playful. It is one of the more pleasant things I lost with him.
I didn't realize that the week prior would be my last time relishing in this tradition, or maybe I would've breathed the air in deeper, I would've laughed a little harder.
After cards, he, almost always accompanied by my mother, would take me to dinner, then to attend my weekly violin lesson. It was about a thirty minute drive, one I found entertaining. It was a great chance to talk and bond with my family, something that up until about half a year prior, I never had the privilege to have.
I was a freshman in high school. I was in Spanish I, fulfilling the foreign language credit required by the state I live in. It was nothing special. End of the day. I was getting antsy as it was. I had an easy time in the class, and had already finished my work for the period. I was pulling my phone out of my bag every few minutes just to check the time.
2:57.
3:08.
3:14.
Hannah.
That's strange, why is my sister calling me? I'm sure it was an accident, she knows I have school.
She hangs up soon after, confirming what I had thought.
But she texts back a minute or so after.
"I'm picking you up."
Why?
"Dad's in the hospital."
Well, that's strange. But I'm sure he's okay. He's not that old.
So she did. I trudged through the post-final-bell crowd as quickly as I could, hoping to get to the hospital to see what the fuss was about. As I walked outside to find my car, my eyes glazed over hers, my brain still hoping I would see his first. I climbed into her car, throwing my book bag in first on the floorboard, then following in. On my tongue sat a slew of questions I had gathered in the last sixteen minutes of my school day. Like, what happened? When did it happen? How bad is it? Is he, god forbid, dying? Certainly not, but I felt I should ask, perhaps as more of an absurd dark joke that she would laugh at and assure me otherwise. But, to my dismay and shock, all she could say was, "I don't know."
Well, what do you mean you don't know? Surely you know he's not dying, right?
Well, she hoped he wasn't, but she didn't know.
We drove to the hospital, which by some act of god, was very near my high school.
In some time, of which the length and activity is a blur to present-day me, we met my mom in the emergency room. We didn't wait too long to be seen by a doctor, though in a room with a few chairs; four chairs facing one to be exact. And, distressingly, three boxes of tissues. And, more distressingly, a chaplain.
My father, as told by the doctor, was found in our home, after asphyxiating. He was still conscious, he had called 911. What is asphyxiation? It is when the lungs fill with fluids from the body, effectively drowning the patient. Well, that isn't too bad, right? When they got there, he was conscious. Right? I'm sure they had it under control. They did! They performed CPR for 45 minutes. He had completely coded for about 30 minutes total while in the ambulance. But he was breathing now!
No, said the doctor, because when someone exists for thirty minutes without receiving oxygen, their organs swell. Which would be fine mostly, except the brain, arguably the most important organ, is encased by non-malleable bone that will crush it as it expands.
And we won't know, the doctor continues, until after they have medically dropped his body temperature for twenty-four hours, to prevent further swelling and promote a shrinking of his already swollen organs. Then, they will run all their little tests to see. As he put it, if he is actually fine, it could be days, weeks, months, hell, even years before he's found a quality of life similar to what he had before. If ever.
Well, what are the chances of things? Will he die? Will he live? What are some likelihoods if he's alive in there?
The range of conditions, the doctor finished solemnly, could be anywhere from temporary amnesia, to death.
Well, that was a pretty wide range. Maybe we had a chance. Still, the lump in my throat threated to choke me - no it didn't, that was a poor choice of thoughts - and there was still grief to be had, even if at the time, we all thought we would wheel him out of the ER as he looked around with a confused, amnesia-induced wonder.
If he may, the chaplain stepped forward, he would like to lead a prayer.
At that age, I had already faced my doubts on the religion front. But I knew people didn't pray so pleadingly, so longingly, over a heart-warming, positive, ideal situation. They prayed like this when tragedy struck, when someone receives a cancer diagnosis, when someone gets in a car accident, when you are a chaplain and you are in a hospital room designed not for treatment of a patient, but for the delivery of bad news, and there is a mother and her two children nervously eyeing the boxes of tissues surrounding them, wondering who will reach for theirs first.
Everyone kept their eyes closed during his prayer. It was well spoken, it wished for our well being, for our strength, for "His will" to be done in my father's life.
That was when tears fell. At "His will."
"His will" means that, no, he can't promise he will live. But believing there is some big, great reason for his death, may help you through this time. And it didn't. He still wasn't here. It was Tuesday, and I should've been winning at fucking Pinochle, while the worst thing happening should've been the threat of the blue deck of cards being used to carefully, methodically, plan the demise of my winning streak. We should've been staring at the clock, thinking we could fit just one more game in before we had to leave for dinner and violin.
Instead, we were being pulled from the menacing, bland, sterile hospital room, so the next family could hear all about how their beloved father, mother, sister, brother, was dying, and the chaplain could say his next pitiful prayer.
~~~
First real post. Thank you for reading, if you're out there.

// Spider-Man No Way Home spoilers
I will never stop at this point
Peter G: You know, some people are like slinkies
Peter G: They don't do very much, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs :)
Peter M: What the fuck
Peter H: Have you done this before?
Peter G: Well, Peter 1, it's like if you read the script you come better prepared.
Peter M: That's not what we do in the US, we don't read things.
Peter H: I don't read, Peter 3.
Peter H: It's locked. You got a lock pick?
Peter M: Yeah-
Peter G: *kicks in the door*
Peter H: HELP! I TOLD PETER 2 I'D COOK DINNER TONIGHT BUT I CAN'T COOK!
Peter G, pouring milk directly into the cereal bag: And you thought I could help?
Peter M: I like to think of myself as a semi responsible adult here.
Peter H: Peter 3 is 70% of your impulse control and you know this Peter 2.
Peter G: I feel like Peter 2 is the more responsible one of us two though.
Peter M: We are both 70% of each others' impulse control.
Peter G: Just two lil beasts in pinwheel hats spinning on the merry-go-round at dangerous velocities, holding each other’s hands so the other doesn’t fall off.
*Peter H dies in a game with ships*
Peter M: This ship is no longer a ship of love, it's a ship of vengeance, a gavel of justice against all that is wrong in the world, showing no mercy, as no mercy was shown to us.
Peter M: The spark of love will now fuel the fires of destructive glory as I wage my war across the world with righteous fury.
Peter G: Legend has it that Peter H still haunts the ship, stealing my fucking drinks.
Peter H: Of course I do.
Peter M: I hope you have an explanation for this.
Peter H: We have three actually-
Peter G: Pick your favorite.
Peter M: Peter 1 got into a fight.
Peter G: That’s bad.
Peter G:
Peter G: Did he win?
Peter G: Where are my fucking keys?
Peter M: Peter 3, Peter 1 is around, can you say it a little nicer?
Peter G: May I ascertain the whereabouts of my FUCKING KEYS?!
Peter M: Guess what number I’m thinking of.
Peter H: 420?
Peter M: No, that’s really immature of you. Someone else guess, and please take this seriously.
Peter G: 69.
Peter M: Yeah it was 69.
Peter G: *pitches an idea*
Peter M: Huh, there might be something here!
Peter H, under his breath: Yeah, a lawsuit.
Peter H: Who wants to make fifty bucks?
Peter G: How?
Peter H: I need someone to take the fall.
Peter G: What did you do?
Peter H: I can't tell you. Yes or no, no questions asked.
Peter M, from the other room: Oh my god.
Peter H: ...
Peter M: OH MY GOD!
Peter G: Make it a hundred.
Peter H: Deal.
Peter M: Peter 3, what did I tell you about lying?
Peter G, looking down: ...That it only works on Peter 1.
Peter H: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Peter 2?
Peter M: No.
Peter G: I do.
Peter H: I know, Peter.
Peter G: I’m sad.
Peter H: I know, Peter.
Peter H: Peter 2, what does IDK, ILY, and TTYL mean?
Peter M: I don’t know, I love you, talk to you later.
Peter H: Alright, I love you too, I'll ask Peter 3.
Peter M: Wait- Peter, no-
Peter G: Who knew getting in trouble would be so impossible?
Peter M: I gotta give you credit, Peter 1. You make it look easy.
Peter H: Years of practice.
Peter M: Peter 1 won’t wake up, what do I do?
Peter G: Did you try kicking him?
Peter M: Yes.
Peter G: I’m out of ideas.
Peter H: Dr. Strange gonna kill me.
Peter M: No, he'll probably make me do it.
Peter H: If you water water, it grows.
Peter M: ...What.
Peter G: He's got a point.
Peter H: But what about Peter 2?
Peter G: Don't worry about him.
Peter G: I once watched him fall down 5 flights of stairs, stand up, and keep eating his hotdog like nothing happened.
Peter M: *double checking supplies in the boat* Compass. CB radio. Sunscreen.
Peter H: Hot dog costumes!
Peter M: I’m sorry, what?
Peter H: You know, in case we get lost at sea, and one of us, probably Peter 3, goes mad with hunger, we’ll put these on. Peter 3 hates hot dogs, so he probably won’t eat us.
Peter M: Are you saying that Peter 3 would rather eat us than hot dogs?
Peter G: I do hate hot dogs.
Peter M: Are you drunk?
Peter G: Only on the spirit of Christmas!
Peter H: And the spirit of whisky.
Peter M to Peter H: First rule of battle, little one... don’t ever let them know where you are.
Peter G, shooting out of frame: WHOO-HOO! I’M RIGHT HERE! I’M RIGHT HERE! YOU WANT SOME O’ ME?! YEAH YOU DO! COME ON! COME ON! AAAAAH! Whoo-hoo!
Peter M: 'Course, there’re other schools of thought.
Peter H: Can we go out to get icecream?
Peter G: Did you ask Peter 2?
Peter H: He said no.
Peter G: Then why did you ask me?
Peter H: He's not the boss of you.
Peter G, internally: It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap.
Peter H: How do you do that?
Peter G: I'm fearless.
Peter M: I saw you run from bees yesterday. You flailed around and tripped over a chair. It was both hysterical and sad.
Peter G: I'm mostly fearless.
Peter H: I'm not that gullible!
Peter M: Peter, you literally ate the wax from a babybel.
Peter H: PETER 3 TOLD ME IT WAS EDIBLE!
Peter H & Peter G:*Playing video games*
Peter M: You guys woke up at 5:30 in the morning just to play games?
Peter H: *silence*
Peter G: *silence*
Peter M, finally figuring it out: ...You two never went to sleep, did you?
Peter H & Peter G in shame: Yeah...
Peter H: How are we supposed to put a tracker the size of a penny on Peter 3 without him noticing?
Peter M: Hey, Peter 3, I bet you 5 bucks that you can't swallow this penny.
Peter G: *takes and swallows tracker* Pay up, loser.
Peter H: ...
Peter H: Dinosaurs aren't extinct. I mean, Peter 2 is walking in this room.
Peter G: *wheeze*
Peter M: I’m telling you, my team is competent.
Peter H, rushing in: Peter! Peter 3 tried to make pasta in the coffee pot and now it's broken!
Peter G: I apologize for saying 'fuck' in front of Peter 1.
Peter M: You just said it again.
Peter H:
Peter G: I am not a role model.
Peter H: What's the signal when something goes wrong?
Peter G: We yell, 'oh shit.'
Peter M: ...That'll work.

Hi! If you're still up to it - 😂😭🎖️☕☀️ for the ask game :> couldn't choose just 1-2, sorry ❤️*
ah!!! bless bestie you have sent so many in i love it thank you <3 sorry for the delay i needed to pull up the post to look at what all these emojis meant again
😂 What’s the funniest comment someone has left on a fic of yours?
ok um i think genuinely people who leave comments are the best in the world and also peak humor and i love the comments that respond to my end notes in the same way i think comments in general on time & tide (first chapter excluded) have been hilarious
but i gotta give credit to this one poor user who i guess got lost and found my beauty and the beast fic after it was finished and read the first chapter when i'd posted it and they asked if this had to be read as obi-wan/anakin or if it could be read platonically, because that's how they read the first chapter and they thought i'd just added the ship tag and they didn't like obikin 😭 they were very polite about it so i went to reply but i guess they deleted the comment when they scrolled to the bottom of the fic and found the epilogue where obi-wan and anakin had sex 😭 this just takes top funny comment for me because. i mean. how did they find it. how did they think a platonic beauty and the beast would work. idk. idk. i hope they're doing well <3
😭 Have you ever made yourself cry writing a fic?
nope! i can't even make myself cry chopping up onions we're bottling up emotions like pros here
🏅 What is the fic you’re most proud of?
oo! ok there's a few and i feel like i always mention the same ones for these questions so i think i'm going to go with the hades&persephone au here because it was really fun to write, i love non-sequential storytelling, and i love the idea that obi-wan may have been sorta tricked by anakin into becoming his consort, he still loves him enough that he stays. can't wait to actually get started on the sequel lol
☕️ Do you drink anything when you write? Coffee, tea, alcohol, etc?
on my days off if im just waking up and trying to write, i'll go get a coffee to help me wake up or help me focus!! at night (and sometimes late afternoon), it's definitely alcohol. definitely, definitely alcohol. especially for the sex scenes.
annnnnd someone else asked the sun emoji, so i'm not going to answer that here because this is already so long (i ramble)
(send me an emoji from this list)
