Put me out of my misery, I can only find solace in sleep

#counterparts #counterparts wither #the difference between hell and home #Spotify

[piercethewolves]

One by one

I watched them leave me behind like living debris

Fortunately, I know that I'm not worth it

In my purest form, I was never good enough for anyone

Why did I think that this time it'd be different?

I am not fit to walk among you

But I don't want to end my life

And just know that if I knew of any common ground

I'd leave here now

And I would find a home that I could die in

Just to say I tried to rest in peace

I'm scratching at my skin to take my mind

Off the absence we've created

The lines blur together like the veins in my arms

And I wish I wasn't so alone

You are the difference between hell and home

they were sick for this. i think

#personally. #ive been ruminating on e6 so much and every single aspect of it feels like a stone in my chest!!!!!! i love them all so much!!! #and i dont agree with the theories that skeen decided to betray them when nemik died i think he was going to do it all along #and i think it's extremely unclear on purpose whether he really truly cared about nemik or whether it was just a performance #but personally. personally. i think he did care about nemik so much #and he was still going to betray him #cuz the difference between cassian and skeen was that cass can't betray the people he loves. can't sell em out #not for money not for his own safety. cant even sell out people he's known for three days #i do very much agree with the post about skeen and nemik being like cassian's shadow selves and that's why they both had to die #but also just fucking hell. MY BOY!!!!!!!! BRING HIM HOME!!!!!!!! #I MISS HIM SO FUCKING MUCH #andor #skeen #nemik #skemik

#ordinary courage — makoto #work has been in a word: exhausting. i'm on my feet this past week so much i'm drained as hell once i get back home and i just play vidya.. #but i've been listening to welcome to the black parade and!! it still is absolutely a makoto song!! #except the 'i don't care' part Makoto CARES and he cares VERY MUCH and this is his whole thing!! he cares a lot about others!! #if your muse is makoto's friend i hope that they know they are extremely important to him!! #we'll see what i can get to today though. i don't think there's any heavy lifting going on for a bit so i hopefully won't be so exhausted #all the time. optimism!! #makoto IS a hero btw he's just not a hero in the sense that he's a great man he is a hero in that he is a BRAVE man!!!! #(and also Makoto will always see himself as just an ordinary person and tends to be pretty self-deprecating) #i love the difference between eiyuu (英雄/great man) and yuusha (勇者/brave man) in Japanese guys it's so cool #I LOVE LANGUAGE SO MUCH

it is 4am so whatever but. that poll about game PCs becoming OCs ur rly into blew up my whole spot. i was SUCH an OC hater from ages 13-19 for no reason, i just had this superiority complex like “why would u make a character without it being for a story (or ttrpg). just to have a doll to play with? i, a Storyteller, know the only worthy context in which to Make a Guy is in an original story that shapes them and is shaped by them in turn. STOP having fun.” i made OCs but i was SO scrupulous and bothered about having them be attached to original short stories i wrote

and then around 19 i started writing mass effect fic with shep/liara in a no reapers AU, in my spiral notebooks for class. i still have this somewhere, just a sheaf of paper i hand-numbered so i know there was a good 30-some pages of this fic, and mentally i was still going “my shep is a character in the context of a story still. im not weird. this isn’t weird.” and having OCs period isn’t weird but i was so worried

and then like… it must have been 2014. that was dragon age: inquisition and fallout 4 the same year. blew the damn doors off my joint. i only wrote one thing for da:i but i wrote ASSLOADS for f4. (my pet theory there being that da:i had enough compelling story content that i just wanted to fill in the edges, whereas f4’s story sucked so bad i couldnt help but try rehabilitating it with three different OCs and, i just counted, 45 pages of fic.)

in the years since as ive replayed things and let go of that weird teenage hangup, ive written so much. and its i would say 80% unposted. its just been for me. but i can say 100% that it made me enjoy the games more to bring that much story into it. i just checked my folders and ive written something about an OC for almost everything in that poll, with my lone wanderer of fallout ruling the roost at 20k words for his detailed outline and written story. add also pokemon to that list, for whatever reason. (the big pieces are for swsh and im putting that down to the f4 phenomenon again bc boy even for a pokemon game, those games are story light.) and im not fucked up about any of it. EXCEPT

EXCEPT

todd’s terrible trick. where he made a game so bad, but i was able to make such a huge, thick woman with the CHEF origin, that i put 20 hrs and this many words into the utter lack of game that is starfield

im so glad i 1) did not pay for it and 2) stopped playing, bc that game turned into such a nothing burger that if my usual decent base game story to fanfic ratio held, i would even now be 200 pages deep in a doorstopper novel about this space chef’s rich internal life

#i would be dead in the ground and it would be todds fault #THANK YOU LARIAN FOR MY LIFE #the stark difference between writing quality as i tried to play bg3 and starfield at the same time saved my life #i may be in astarion hell rn but as u can see there are worse hells to call home #dot txt #long post

have you killed yourself. will you kill yourself when wil you kill yourself

#this post dedicated to rhe girl on the serving staff who referred to the liberty lane (memory care) patients as 'a bunch of fucking rworded #dementia idiots' bc one of them asked if they could have cheerios instead of frootloops. and also said that liberty patients are #'too rworded to be able to tell the difference (between cheerios and frootloops)' #like go fucking worj at mcdonalds. same job. why are you working in the fucking senior home if you hate elderly ppl. specifically Incredibl #y vulnerable elder ppl. #especialy bc TWO of our liberty lane patients passed away over the weekend its like. you are going to hell when you die and brother? im #gonna walk you there 👍

man the alliance generals in ag are just so fun and good natured

this guy's out here ready to celebrate for gm/the end of the war and he's celebrating with his whole gang

drinks and cheers and happy alliance soldiers!!!

#DCB Three Hopes Run #love their positive vibes in this route. the way they see the end of the war in sight #and are like hell yeah let's party and be friends. if this were houses it'd be vw too but like #since it's the opposite in gw and it's super tense and uncertain it makes ag the only good vibes route #and i love when they have positive things to say like this that aren't about hurting others #it feels so powerful coming from the alliance side too who didn't have much contact with gm/the church/etc #and the way he says ''reclaimed'' is the difference between ag and the other routes in hopes #bc in those ones they're the ones attacking. they're not reclaiming but instead claiming #in sb they claimed and then reclaimed ig? in a way? but it's still taking from someone else first #this guy is happy to have gm back to its rightful residents. like. good for him #good for him being happy to have a place's rightful residents back at home and being happy for the war to end

the whole max and mike’s lives being foils of each other’s is so insane to me bc its like. for mike max is a representation of everything that could have happened to him if his mom left his dad earlier on (and what can still happen when you look at the way things are between them) and for max mike is a representation of everything that she could have had growing up if her mom hadn’t decided to leave her dad as fast as she did

#there is no way they don’t resent each other for it just a little bit. no fucking way sorry #mike knows max grew up with a shittier home life but still wishes his mom had the guts to do the same her mom did and left his dad bc #at the end of the day there is a little bit of bitterness towards both his parents for not making their relationship work out specifically #towards his dad bc his mom is actually involved in his life and did try to pretend that everything was normal when it wasnt which directly #ties into his desperate attempts to make his relationship with el seem normal to both of them when its not bc theyve both never been normal #they dont even know what normal really IS which also ties in to his very deep fear that the two of them will end up like his parents and so #meday he’ll become his dad and he doesn’t know which one is more terrifying so instead he blocks it all out in True Mike Wheeler FashionTM #and just keeps wishing that his mom left his dad because maybe if there was a distance between them when he was growing up maybe things wou #ldve been different maybe he wouldnt be this much like his dad #max on the other hand LOVES her dad they had one of those relationships where he wasn’t neglectful but wasn’t a great parent either but she #still loves him for trying and while her mom did try she gave up after a while while her dad didn’t. that was the real dealbreaker for max #and while after all this time she keeps saying im going to run away to cali and im going to live with my dad. but its not just the need to #see someone who cared for her the most during her early years its also the childish hope that her mom will notice that shes missing anf #come looking for her and that maybe when her parents finally meet again they can reconcile and get back together bc that is really all shes #ever wanted in her life since she was a kid and she feels bad for it bc she knows that her mom and dad’s relationship was never supposed to #last but she still wishes and wishes which is why that little bit of bitterness against mike will never fall away no matter how irrational #it is bc its like. his parents dont love each other but are still together for their kids. why couldnt my parents do the same? was i not en #ough reason for them? and this ties into her breaking up with lucas over and over again bc shes seen her parents and how they never fought #for each other and shes afraid that somewhere along the line her relationship with lucas will turn out the exact same and hell leave her so #its better to just leave now before it gets serious then later when it will hurt too much but lucas keeps coming back for her which makes #her realize that maybe it doesnt have to be like that maybe they wont be like her parents #anyway this is incoherent as fuck but shane mandej voice IVE CONNECTED THE DOTS #mike wheeler #max mayfield #stranger things
