Deanna is the fridged wife from the tragic backstory of your good ole adventurer, and they meet in frigid wastes. Except this time, it's her story, and coping with the decisions made by this person, to return what was lost to this world, though she was at peace. And, yet, she came at his call.

The setting, the word choice, everything feels painfully symbolic and I really can only applaud the whole thing.

#rainy rambles #critical role #cr spoilers #deanna leimert #deanna #head in hands #literally so how about this time it's the story about the story device #aabria iyengar #i admire you so much #maybe next time the adventurer should hit up talk to the dead service first before promise fulfilling #ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE MOVED ON #WHAT ARE YOU BRINGING HER BACK TO? AN ECHO OF LIFE SHE WAS MEANT TO LIVE?!

:{ A video file is embedded. [Location Unavailable], Aspertia. 12/11/23 5:15pm. }:

Twilight has begun to settle heavy in the sky over the nightlight house, a cold breeze running along the planks and rustling the pumpkaboo hanging lights still weakly flickering along the awning, never quite taken down from last season. Small flakes of snow reflect the lavender light as they drift downwards, casting a strange quietness to the scene.

Two figures can be seen leaning against the back porch railing, a couple feet apart, but with a familiar enough air to them. The shorter figure is easily recognized as Amy themselves, white lab coat pulled around them and brown hair blowing in the breeze. The taller man however is entirely unfamiliar, long blue hair and a mask of freckles surrounding his brown eyes, and distinctly a deep purple bruise around one eye. There a friendly air about him as he gestures with the cigarette in his hand.

"Yeah sure I can do that, but what do you want with it? I mean besides the obvious thing of course. What interest does some discontinued TM hold for you, hm?" There seems to be a real curiosity in it, though if its about the request itself or the person in front of him is unclear.

Amy hums tunelessly and takes a drag of their own smoke before replying. "Ah well- if things go well it'll be helpful for a side project I was hoping to work on, but that depends on my ability to get some old tech working and that isn't exactly my strong suit." They laugh lightly, glancing over at the taller man.

This seems to spark some interest in the man, a slight tilt of the head as he leans in slightly. "Oh? Would you mind if I took a look? I've been told I'm pretty good at things like that. Good with my hands you know." There's a humor in the words, and he ends the sentence with a wink.

This does make Amy laugh a bit, "So I've heard. I've been told the same you know, just that wires and such was never my forte'." Amy hums a moment, seeming to consider something for a moment before continuing. "What do you think is the most secure place in this house?"

The man pauses, thinking. "Hm? Oh that would be the computer room, easily.. Why?"

"I bet you 1000₽ that I can get in there in under a minute." Amy's smirk is met by a sudden grin from the taller man who takes one last drag from his cigarette before putting it out in a nearby ashtray.

"You're on, Wild Days."

very nice people in comments/bookmarks responding to me being insane in the author's comments of my fics: i hope op is doing well UwU

op: <3 hours of sleep, refreshing the EHR to see if the guy she coded for 30 minutes last night is still alive, just ate half a pint of icecream, going back to work in 4 hours and somehow still writhing in guilt for not putting out a fanfic chapter in >1 month

#he did live. i'm. very surprised #i think the issue is that that automatic CPR device kept sliding to his right so we were not getting adequate cardiac contact #because when we switched back to manual compressions around min 20 we started getting monomorphic VT and a shockable rhythm #got pulses back pretty soon after. and he's relatively neurologically intact. #it was a little weird because he is a cardiogenic shock pt who has no further treatment options and i was literally about to call it #i'm just curious because i think it was a cardiac event. of some sort. in-stent thrombosis maybe? but he's already s/p PCIx3 #he had a PE earlier in the hospitalization but it was teeny tiny and his RV looked ok-ish on echo #certainly not bad enough to be in 4-pressor shock #maybe just good old VF/VT due to severe heart failure and myocardial injury resulting in ischemia to the electrical system #anna you might say #you literally complain EVERY TIME you're on night shift. #you know you're like... voluntarily doing this to yourself right? #....... :( #what is my life if not constant self-flagellation? #ok i'm gonna go lay down will keep you updated with what the dude's cath shows

hello! i’m sorry that i was gone for so long. it’s literally almost been a year since i even touched this site. every day i saw notifications from here, but couldn’t work up the will to really open tumblr again or even reach out to the people that supported me the most. i’m sorry for continually promising to return just to disappear for an even longer period of time. my motivation and mental health has finally recovered enough for me to finally return. i hope you’ve all been well and i wish the best for all of you. i’m slowly starting to draw again and will hopefully be able to whip up some things that i’ve been planning on for over a year now. thank you for your patience and understanding. this time i mean it.

#i’m very sorry everyone #undertale #it’s been a trying year #i really missed tumblr #i’ve literally had all the classic posts on my mind on repeat for the past few months #i’ve been going over the things from fellow creators i had saved in discord or on my devices constantly bc of how much i missed this place #thank you for all your support #your patience and kindness will finally pay off #i swear and i mean it wholeheartedly this time #i’m also working on pieces i promised other creators so long ago #you all mean the world to me and im so happy to be back #i’ll return to fanart soon enough and i have so much in mind for this year #i love you all so genuinely #thank you to everyone #especially my dearests on discord who’ve really given me the motivation to continue #huge shoutout to hyper my sunshine for all the months that they’ve supported me through #literally there for me in my darkest hours #also giant shoutout to gi and echo on discord who really brighten my day #also to the coolest boodle for constantly reminding me that there are people who still care through using my server #im back and better than ever #enough with the sappy stuff though! #im here to hopefully bring joy to your lives for all the happiness you brought to mine #thank you all so much

this interaction is killing me. thank you len for bringing up bad memories and making toya sad for no fucking reason like literally this was so unprompted. we love an insensitive 12 year old

#SBFKJDFJSKFKDJFKJKDHFKJSKFDJGKDJGKDJGKFBGLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #oh yeah! i remember that one! :D #though it does kinda play into the idea i've had that like. SEKAI is built on emotions so sometimes like #the virtual singers will reflect the bad ones too. it's more likely to come from miku rin and len since they're all the youngest but like #going into your SEKAI while you feel like shit Can be counterproductive. most of the time you'll receive comfort but sometimes . #the virtual singers will (unintentionally) play off of your bad feelings and digging deeper into the wounds instead of soothing them #like len reminding toya of the time he and akito almost fell out of each other's lives and he almost went back to classical music #for NO REASON #or like. a hypothetical scenario for you: #mizuki: *in the empty sekai talking about their plans to organize a hangout with the rest of n25* #rin: why are you bothering when you're so sure they'll hate you someday. wouldn't it be less painful to cut all your ties now. #mizuki: H #and in my akitoya fic that's what miku did with akito for like 2 seconds #LIKE IT'S NOT A MALICIOUS THING they're just kind of echoing the emotions and thoughts they sense from the kids #because they Know it needs to be addressed but they don't know how to do it like. delicately. #it's why in most of the SEKAIs one of the Older virtual singers is present #as funny as miku therapy is she's still 16. she doesn't know what the hell she's doing. #left to their own devices she and rin and len would make everything 18385948595845958x worse 👍🏾

For the WIP game, F Trio thing? :3c Also naming your files with the first letter(s) of the fandom is a neat way to organize~

Thank you!! This file is a little Frankenstein project combining a few other drafts together. I have a lot of thoughts about the RGB trio's first meeting -- I started writing them out in So Be It, but I made the mistake of planning too much and overwhelming myself, effectively killing the fic 😔 I have some draft fragments in that doc of their first meeting, lots of scattered Lukas notes here and there, (and uhhhhh some scenes buried in self insert writing too adfggh). My plan is to piece them all together to one coherent story about the trio, and I've started in a fresh doc to write the intro so I didn't get distracted:

There are no friends in war. Lukas had known this from a young age, and he knew it now. 

You may gain allies who share in your cause. You find yourself loyal to superiors, or looking after subordinates. You stand side-by-side with some in the heat of battle. You risk your life with others. But you call none friends. Looking closely, you share little but your cause. You are bound by duty to one another, and it can truly be a binding. You may fight alongside others, but when the adrenaline of war always subsides – and it always subsides eventually – you have nothing in common but the blood on your hands. 

Lukas certainly knew about the latter. The last battle left him scrubbing the stains from his arms, glad the red was undetectable in his already dark clothing. Still without a proper set of armor, his exposed skin was stained up the forearms, reaching to his elbows.

#fe echoes #fe lukas #thank you so much!! #lol unfortunately the titles are like that because im a Google Docs User -_- #i just bounce around personal/library devices so often that it helps to edit things there #and keeping them alphabetized but still in order (without hiding them in folders) helped me a lot haha! #and yeah... im sad how much planning went into So be it only to make me not want to touch it :( #but i have a lot of content floating around that i want to use to write at least one more chapter :') #im realizing i used a very different narrative voice for fe than ive been using lately... i miss it... #gotta figure our how to get back to it >:3

I do think platonic betrayal is a deeply underexplored and fascinating narrative

#echos personal rambles #holiday star is very very good is what this post is about btw #but also just. in media in general there is something SO INTERESTING about friends turning against each other #especially cause in platonic relationships a lot of stuff is just. so much more undefined #like two people can both think of each other as friends but have entirely different #perceptions of their closeness or obligations to each other #in a way where parsing what even counts as a 'betrayal' can be so messy #though. honestly i personally CANNOT consume too many toxic friendship narratives cause they can get triggering for me #sometimes really well written ones exist (which is why holistar is my favorite game ever) #but sometimes they just. hurt. #platonic storylines just hit harder idk! #like i can interact with romance media the same way i do with like... sci-fi. #i dont feel romantic attraction so it is a fun little narrative device for me #whereas platonic storylines actually fully suck me into the story and hurt me #which means that they can be very very good and impactful for me #but also if theyre handled in certain ways they can mess me up a little

I HAVE GOTTEN THE MICROPHONE TO WORK!!

#it hasn't been working #and i've checked like everything #but i finally found a fiddly thing in the system by clicking on a nesting doll of device settings that were all labelled device settings #and found where it was automatically muting itself for some random reason #anyway i now have super bad echo and the sensitivity is ridiculous but i'm too nervous to mess with it lest i get muted again #so the telehealth is just gonna have to deal with being able to hear me breath from three feet away from my laptop #also there's like a full on 5 second delay #but whatever #it's working #ALSO WOW IS IT WEIRD TO HEAR MYSELF COME OUT OF A SPEAKER #i have not actually heard a recording of my voice since i started T and my voice dropped and WOW I SOUND DIFFERENT

@auroradicit sent: "But that’s life. One minute you’re on top of the world, the next minute some secretary’s running you over with a lawn mower." Because if you're gonna tag Theia you get to deal with her

"Okay," Rhys says coolly, "I know that's, like, Hyperion standard" -- with the caveat that Hyperion's a company where the CEO would send you out the airlock for talking out of turn at a work meeting -- "but that can't be the norm... everywhere.

"Or, well, I don't want it to be the norm. It won't be the norm with me." He pinches the bridge of his nose. "...hopefully. A lawn mower?

"That's unnecessarily graphic."

20 minutes ago i was complaining to no one in my apartment about my old DM in college who was obsessed with asian girls and girl groups and was creepy towards me, a half-chinese girl. there was no one there to hear this rant. i haven't told anyone about that experience.

my tumblr "for you" dash is now full of images of asian girls and girl groups. what the actual fuck

#i do not have amazon echo or any other listening devices #is something listening through my webcam? my phone? #genuinely unsettled right now #cw: orientalism #cw: asian fetishization

Echo Frame: Moving Alexa into my glasses.

 Due to cervical stenosis (Spinal Cord compression)  I partially lost the use of my right arm (my good hand), Although the post-surgery recovery is a long and arduous process, I have retained barely sufficient functionality to hold on to my job, so let’s talk about my favorite subject: gadgets.

         Being an amazon fanboy has certain setbacks, one of which is being, literally surrounded by Alexa. She is in my phone, TV, earbuds,  Bluetooth Speaker, Tablets 0 and a bluetooth speaker + tablet crossover, (Echo Show), so do I need to move Alexa into my glasses? Absolutely!

 Echo Frame is basically a glasses frame combined with Bluetooth earbuds that connects to a smartphone, Bose also released their own version of Smart Frames that reportedly produces better sound quality, but it has neither Alexa nor the deep 70% price cut on Amazon Prime Day, so sound quality  be damned, I work for a non-profit; which, incidentally is probably why Alexa wouldn’t marry me, but I digress!

 The advantage of an Echo Frame is that it eliminates the need for a set of separate earbuds. After fitting it with prescription lenses, the Echo Frame has turned into the best pair of glasses I have owned and I have been wearing glasses for 40 years, I have been wearing it since October this year and have not broken it yet,  so it’s fairly durable.

 The downside is being a glasses frame, there’s not a lot of real estate devoted to batteries. It only lasts for 8-12 hours per charge, on the other hand it only takes 1 hour for a full charge. Nonetheless I guess having lost partial use of my right hand, combining a pair of glasses with Bluetooth earbuds does make my life a little easier.
