when you're the only person who keeps living through the time loop, the people around you cease to be people and become mere characters. your treatment of them doesn't matter because they're not real and they won't remember. the only way to give anything meaning is to end the loop; their actions don't affect the loop and therefore are meaningless. you're the only one who has the ability to change the future, so anything you do in service of that goal is justified.

but. kim dojka looks at yoo joonghyuk and says no, actually, these characters are people. whether they remember or not is beside the point because they are real right now. and you don't give your life meaning by achieving some accomplishment that retroactively makes everything that came before worth it - you give your life meaning in the living of it.

#'meaning' isn't a reward you get for clearing a scenario...it's something you actively create every day as you make a life #kim dokja: it's WORTH IT! i know it's worth it because we are making it worth it!!!!! #ohhhhh waoaohhohh getting a transmission to my brain...suddenly feeling the urge to rewatch palm springs (2020) #time loop fiction is sooo fucking potent like ok you can read about this person who alone out of everyone has agency #thereby alienating them from all their fellow creatures...but watch out #orv #time travel #agency #existentialism #kdj #yjh #omniscient reader's viewpoint #my posts #f #also the fact that it's kim dokja - the 'reader' - who's creating meaning...sorry excuse me. there is something in my eye. #and this is coming from the guy who is very much committed to reaching the end of the scenarios! that is very much his goal #and what he's working toward. but the meantime is not something to get through. it's life and he's choosing to live it #he's like maybe this is fiction maybe we're all characters but it doesn't matter because the story is real to the people living it #his whole thing is that he refuses the idea that the story is unchangeable. he refuses the lack of agency #he's like well i will just make my own story. i will make my own meaning #and if there's some author out there that i'm the character of well good luck keeping up with me. mwah

I think a minor but valuable strength of Candela Obscura's chapter 2 is that it's run by the game designer who then proceeds to kill multiple characters from the Quickstart Guide and wreck several locations as well. Particularly given that Rowan and Spenser talked about wanting to leave room in the world for GMs to make a story for their table, this feels apt.

#this is also very true of the egtw and c2 like. if you've been running a wildemount game since 2020 #and your ludinus's goals are very different than the one in CR canon? valid. canon diverges around 2x50 iirc anyway #candela obscura spoilers #candela obscura

How many people from the USA know that the big liberal foreign policy issue of 1978 through the early 80s was the unjust invasion of Cambodia by Vietnam to topple the champion of the people, Pol Pot?

After two and a half years in power, the Khmer Rouge was overthrown by the Vietnamese on Christmas Day, 1978. In the months and years that followed, the US and China and their allies, notably the Thatcher government, backed Pol Pot in exile in Thailand. He was the enemy of their enemy: Vietnam, whose liberation of Cambodia could never be recognised because it had come from the wrong side of the cold war. For the Americans, now backing Beijing against Moscow, there was also a score to be settled for their humiliation on the rooftops of Saigon.

My favorite opening line in a book remains, "The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault." (Especially funny considering the protagonist previously WAS responsible for setting buildings on fire).

But this opener in The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home now ranks a close second for me. Poor Craig. 😂

#Welcome to Night Vale #the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home #I'm like 8 or so chapters in and it's REALLY good which I'm not surprised about since the podcast is amazing but STILL #the descriptions are strange but beautiful in that unique Night Vale way #and I've already marked multiple lines that are writing goals because damn this is gorgeous and tragic and lovely and odd #also seeing some personality similarities between Jane and The Faceless Old Woman which is REALLY cool #I was honestly so inspired by WTNV when I started listening in 2020 and it absolutely inspired me when I restarted TRT in 2021 #so being able to SEE the writing and how the book is constructed is super neat!

1) what's been your favorite breakaway challenge gimmick from past all stars? 2) what's the best snack you ever had at a ballpark? and/or at a hockey rink? 3) what do you think nick cicek's goal song should be if the cuda ever supported fun and enjoyment at hockey games?

oh these are juicy! sorry to nick cicek for how much i'm about roast him

i don't think i ever really recovered from maggie and becs showing me the jakub voráček breakaway challenge feat. johnny hockey in the middle of the pandemic. like. what do i even do with that. voráček is just slinging that little man around like a rag doll. "he did for the bit" he did it bc every man in the nhl has at one point or another found johnny hockey the perfect size for hugging and that was voráček's chance for to hug im.

gosh i have only been to five ballparks ever in my life and three of those were in the bay area...i like that the cubs give you your mid-game sundae in a little helmet. that's fun. i mean you're never going to get better than the grandpa selling churros at the san jose giants ballpark, like that's always going to be my favorite, but i do find the wrigley field helmet sundae delightful and have on more than one occasion put the helmet on my dog.

i haven't trusted nick cicek's taste in music ever since he said his pregame hype music was 50 cent's "in da club." girl were you even alive when that song came out my god. oh no i just checked he was three whole years old. oh no help. i really don't trust him NOT to choose "like a g6" by far east movement, so i'm choosing for him based on vibes. since his vibe this year seems to be eldest daughter slash grandpa and he's staring down the barrel of the gun of the end of his entry level contract, i'm choosing two wartime favorites: "jumpin jive" by cab calloway or "sing, sing, sing" by benny goodman. we will never hear them. on pride night, he changes it to the andrews sisters' "beat me daddy, eight to the bar" to be funny and predictably scores his one whole goal of the season, an ot gwg. i would laugh so hard i start crying and would have to go stand in the hallway to calm down. the world (me, raptured with joy to another plane of existence, and henry thrun, psychosexually paralyzed with anxiety) would never be the same

#when i write my cuda wwii postwar au then you will all see.... #also while i was deep diving through spotify for the perfect song for cheech i realized #william eklund's goal song if he weren't a coward would be the 2020 rerecord of ''potential breakup song'' by aly & aj #also that someone needs to play and painstakingly explain ''ghost ride it'' by mistah f.a.b. to raski bc i think it would change things #it would introduce several new opportunities for injuries on the cuda. but i think it would be good for morale overall #thank you for this ask. perfect way to end the day! #cage replies #tausendsorgen #bb cuda

wait. did i really not make an appreciation post for the Thought Process going on on these pages??

#again. its like watching your dumb fuck of an orange cat son finally get his turn with the Brain Cell. look at him go. im so proud of him. #baby's first thoughts!! #man we really dont get to see him think much. especially That rationally. #like. what else do we have. narrating of his timeline changes and the processing of almost erasing himself by the dumbest action ever which #is like. the exact opposite of whats going on in dfp. + explaining his death-rebirth thing + 'private tour' in rs but those are neutral #'he can fly... look up' *insane cheering like im a man in a sports bar watching his team strike on goal* #eobard thawne #reverse flash #professor zoom #the flash #tales from the dark multiverse: flashpoint (2020)
