god i am obsessed eith the tonal shift between ahlf life 1 and 2 in regard to the sense of success at ur accomplisments

in 1, nothing you do ever gives u a sense of success or accomplishment, u killed people, u killed aleins but u have so much more to do. its an empty feeling, oh u killed the tentacles? cool go down the hole, dog urself deeper into this mess. oh you killed the gargantua and turned on the railway? go down deeper into the water and blood deeper into the bowels of the beast you created of the facility. you kill the nihilanth and u look up at the fireworks knoeing you are going to die, you cannot escape the explosion and the mess youve created. ur pulled from the mess and you are told you have guranteed urself a future of killing and endless battles or a battle u can never win. mothing you do matter none of it is worth anything. you are cold and alone and soaked in blood and people are only getting more scared

but in 2 the mood shifts, the smallest battles give people hope for a future. you can kill even a few soldiers and even if you do have to go deeper, the people around you cheer, if only for a moment, theyre alive and breathing and so are you. so many things yo do youre asked to do them again and again and each time these people are excited, thwyre grasping for a semblance of hope til thwir nails bleed and they cheer becuz they are alive and in the sun and watching their breath freeze as they cheer in the cold air of the mountains. the grass is green and growing and its more life than uve seen since before you moved to the middle of a desert to work in a concrete prison far from the warmth of the sun where it bakes all that it touches.

do you think gordon feels the happiness of the rebels? feels a sense of accomolishment in even the smallest thing he does? is he satisfied or fullfilled for helpjng these people? can he feel the sun warm the skin of his face and the bite of eastern european chill on his nose the way the rebels do? does he relish in that he is alive still? is he coming back? or do you think he still feels dull as he sinks deeper and deeper into the recesses of his mind and the concrete cage of balck mesa where his old life died?

#judt thinking about how often citizens and rebels in half life 2 cheer at wven pulling down a sign ir killing a robot #and how joyous and gleeful they sound at the smallest accomplisment #compared to how the guards and scientists get more and more grim the longer the game goes on in half life 1 #things get worse and worse in both games in the forces they face but the world seems brighter in 2 #maybe its becuz things in hl1 can only get worse when ur in the middle of losing ur way of life #vs things can only get better when uve got nothing to lose and every small win is more than uve had for the last 20 years #but its still just so beautiful and tangible #and i love to think about how gordon fits into it all #hes a relic of a different time a different battle where nothing he did mattered #the whole time was a battle against a derivative of nihilism a foreshadow of torment to come from the combine #and he coukdnt win that battle withiur self destructung #is it a sign of whats to come #has he changed? will he change? cna he survuve or is he stuck in a loop of the same battle over and over again #killing himself with everylife he takes as punishment for dooming hjmanity #iwillspeakincessantly #sorry #thinking

Anyways, I declare this era as Steven Universe Fixation 2: More Fun, Less Bullshit

#the fandom is more peaceful finally #there's less people being noisy with takes i disagree with #my fics are going to get less traffic thus less chances of rude commenters #i am Not majorly active in any SU servers #i do Not have to deal with my ex friends #instead this is a happy and joyous time for creativity #like legit... i got seven pieces of art done in the past two weeks #and i've written over 5K words since the beginning of the year #it's been so nice to reconnect with old stories #and to start dreaming up new one-shots #i just feel like sometimes i need to grit my teeth and go 'it WILL be different this time' #bc there's nothing i'd hate more than to drag myself into the same patterns and let the same things bother me again #so nope! #we're going to be Better than that #we're going to block when things mildly annoy me #we're going to stop looking at youtube comments #we're going to stop looking through the tags #we're going to focus on creativity instead of comparing to others #so speaketh jen #jen rambles

Adorned by stars | Changing States

When he hits the I-70, Jeremiah slots George Michael’s Faith into his ’98 Accord and drives with the windows down. His mother would chide him for two reasons: a) he’s wasting fuel and b) it’s begun to storm. But he likes the way the wind shears through his hair like a nail breaking drywall and he likes the way spats of rain settle on his skin like constellations because on the road, he isn’t just a hand for someone else to hold, a body to handle, a man who looks at another man and fears how much of himself he’s lost in his reflection. No. On the road he is the sky, adorned by stars of his own making, relentless in his abundance, blinking in the absence of any other light.

A little Changing States aesthetic & excerpt!

i'm so normal about him i'm so normal i'm so normal i'm so-

#i can't wait to explain more about this project when I actually get into it #like there's no plot rn but the vibes are impeccable #BUT I DO HAVE A LOGLINE: after a whirlwind romance devastatingly ends #jeremiah moves back to his hometown in maryland for support #only to receive word there’s been a death in the family the day he's set to arrive. #“WHIRLWIND ROMANCE DEVASTATINGLY ENDS” YEAHHH BYEEE #harrison fucked this man up i'm MADDDDDD #you know that scene in BB where harrison's pissed off at the congregation and turns and goes DO ANY OF YOU WANT PITCHFORKS??? #the answer rn should be yes BECAUSE WE'RE HUNTING HIM FOR SPORT (quoting That Post) anyway let me be serious #CW: death/grief talk #like i said this is a little autofiction-y in the sense that last yr my family had a maryland trip planned and right before we left #there was a death in the family (I didn't know the person well but it affected my parents/grandparents/uncles a lot) #so what was a trip to just see family was a trip to go to a funeral #anyway I was thinking about those circumstances and what that's like (like packing funeral clothes when they weren't originally in the plan #and what that funeral was like/how interesting it is that times of grief are also times where family reuintes #as I saw people who wouldn't have ever met me or last met me when I was very little #it was also joyous in ways etc while also being incredibly sad to witness the grief anyway so I was drawn to write about that #because I think about that trip a LOT (I was getting back into SV at the time) #and that was the first time I'd been in MD in a long time (just like this is the first time Jeremiah's been in MD in a long time) #for me it was 4 years so maybe I'll make it a similar timeline for him! #anyway Jeremiah means so much to me ughhhh I’m so grateful I created him #changing states

"The you that appears in her life is not the illusion. It's really you, and it's the first person that ever looked at her and saw her for who she was and was kind."

I'm actually crying a little bit Fig and Ayda's relationship is so beautiful

#figayda #fig x ayda #fig faeth #ayda aguefort #fhsy #fantasy high sophomore year #it's about how sometimes you need someone else to see you before you can see yourself #and how terrifying that is #but how joyous it is when the person who really sees you for the first time loves who they see

[janiedean]

will get to all your lovely replies asap but for now let me get down the mood with my usual

fuck but i really do hate this month and everything it represents or better the fact that each single year it gets just more miserable

#i’m sorry fuck i wish i liked christmas i do #but i haven’t felt anything close to enjoyment of the period since what was it right ten exact years #every single fucking one of them it just got MORE fucking depressing #we dont talk about covid times because god i wish i could delete them from my existence #two years ago it was just depressing af #last year for a miracle it was halfway okay and hey managed to spend one with the grandmother for once #except she died three months later and this one it will be….. meh but the rest of the month has been a total nervewreck already #but of course EVERYWHERE around you is like JOYOUS TIME EVERYONE IS HAPPY SEASON OF MAGIC #as it is i’mma have to do half of the presents in january ffs #ah right forgot today was the anniversary of the other grandmother dying #and the entire first week is anniversary of 2020 nervous wreck of doom so hey that’s all fine #yeah that happened no i had no plans to mention it good luck to me wanting to move over that specific instance ig #i just wanna stop feeling stuck in being miserable until december 26th arrives and i can hope to get my shit under control the year after #yeah sorry for the pity party i’m just not feeling great whatsoever add feeling totally useless to the list and here we are #i’mma just go catch up on replies now just god now i feel like crap bc the moment i opened the app i just vomited out negativity g r e a t #personal for ts #janie rants

I think we can all use a little holiday season extra early this year.

#holidays #winter #holiday season #christmas #hanukkah #diwali #kwanzaa #yuletide #winter holidays #whatever you celebrate #I hope it’s a joyous time this year #the arcadia ledger

[forestofsprites]

yeah, no, i'm coping with winter fine. yeah, i'm loving the snow, loving the frost, loving the quiet atmosphere. hahha yeah no that countdown... that countdown on my phone??? the countdown to the exact date of when the swampy wetland will begin to thaw in march??? oh that is nothingat all . thought

#MARCH 23RD BABY IM WAITING FOR YOU <3 #this post makes perfect sense #i am not having a joyous time with winter and the swamp/wetland is my most autistically beloved place on the planet #it thaws starting march 23rd/24th every single year!! at least as of the past five years #and starting lotr 1 last night has severely kicked off my yearning to be rid of winter #apologies to winter lovers- i love her tranquility and i love painting snowy landscapes more than most anything- but #i need warmth. and buds. and sprouts. and spring peepers. and little fern curls. and all sorts #thoughts

[basilisk2000]

Eddie points at him with the mixing spoon. Clumps of unmixed hot chocolate power plop down to the tile. “I will carry you.” He can do it, too. Though the evidence of Eddie’s ability to carry him is a frankly traumatic selection of memories, hoo boy, it still gets the job done.

Unfortunately, this has not been getting better. If anything it’s been getting worse. At least in the beginning Steve was fantasizing about, like, Eddie’s thighs splayed across his own while riding him on the couch. Now he gets a boner at the thought of kissing him on the cheek before they leave the house to go run errands, separately.

It’s the way he stretches towards the moon when he yawns and his shirt rides up enough that Steve gets just a little peek at his stomach, at the trail of dark hair on his almost weirdly pale skin. That’s bad. The sight of his wrist bones is worse. Until relatively recently, Steve was unaware that this level of attraction could mean anything other than an astonishingly unhealthy degree of genuine pervertedness. Now, though. Now he just wants to ask Eddie to let him love him for the rest of their lives.

Lamely, he ends up just saying, “Yeah, sure. Sounds good.”

At a few minutes to midnight somebody turns the record player down and the volume on the TV back up. On CBS, the ball in Times Square starts making its wobbly red way down. Between them, Eddie flounders for Steve’s hand. He catches his palm between two pinched fingers. For a sick moment of hesitation Steve does not look at him, but instead over at Wayne and Lisa. Wayne is staring at the TV. Lisa is too, until she catches Steve looking, and then smiles wetly at him. 

Gladys Knight is singing on the screen in a silver-spangled ballroom when Steve takes Eddie’s hand. With fingers interlinked he pulls and Eddie slides down gracelessly off the arm of the couch towards him onto the edge of his lap. He can feel the heat of him through the sandwiched layers of their jeans. Where Steve’s skin is still pinprick cold from the walk to the store he burns. 

He leans up and presses his face into Eddie’s neck, stretching forward until he can feel the cold end of his nose bump against the place where the pulse buzzes and bumps under the softness of Eddie’s skin. He breathes there, warm and home. Eddie’s hand comes up behind him and Steve can feel him cradle the back of his head, palm huge and thumb slipping where he strokes his back and forward through the hat-squished snow-damp puff of Steve’s hair. Without really meaning to, he lets out a small squeak of a noise, pleased then immediately embarrassed, and when Steve can hear a rumble of laughter build in Eddie’s chest he retaliates by sucking a bite into his neck. 

Eddie groans, and pushes him away. Steve’s spit shines in the hollow of his throat. 

New Year’s 1986 into 1987, in Waterloo, WI.
