―chapter VII: March 1995, The Totality of Partial Impressions
BBC Merlin Reverse Bang
Can't with word describe how grateful I have been for @s0mmerspr0ssen [ao3] who's been my assigned partner and writer during @bbcmerlin-reversebang. Last year and beginning of this has been a mess, rendering me quite incapable of keeping any form of online presence (or staying consistent in communication) yet she's been the most patient, kind and inspiring collaborator. You all will love the fic she's written. Which just so happens to be THIS BEAUTY RIGHT HERE.
Wasn't all that sure I'd be able to do this, but I really wanted to try and while I'm not yet in a spot where I can confidently say I'm back it felt immensely good indulging in this fandom again as well as bouncing ideas with another creative mind.
Everything I've seen posted from this revbang looks amazing; this fandom truly holds so much talent. Thank you to the ones behind this event, to S0mmer's for being incredible and I hope ya'll will find some enjoyment in my art!
Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?
Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.
Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.
Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?
Eurovision is the absolute easiest thing in the world to boycott. It's not food owned by one of 5 food conglomerates. It's not tech that corporations have made essential. There's no "support the devs" logic to be even considered. It's literally just noise that is forgotten in a week.
This year it's noise that will be forgotten in a week that is actively supporting one state that's committing genocide to another state they're actively suppressing any discussion about.
