[love-3-crimes]

The glory of Him who moveth everything

Doth permeates the Universe, and shine

In one part more and in another less.

Within that heaven which most his light receives

Was I, and things beheld which to repeat

Nor knows, nor can, who from above descends;

Because in drawing near to its desire

Our intellect ingulphs itself so far,

That after it the memory cannot go.

Truly whatever of the holy realm

I had the power to treasure in my mind

Shall now become the subject of my song.

I used to really like this one poem, the Divine Comedy. It's a weird book (it's…basically bible fanfiction and a self insert story) but high school me thought the concepts were cool (i even bought a physical version!). The story follows the author, Dante, and his journey through hell (Inferno), purgatory (Purgatorio), and heaven (Paradiso). He also describes what happens to the souls in each area, from pure torture in the 9 circles of Inferno, to elation in Paradiso.

All that to say…Paradiso inspired me. Kinda? I've always wanted to do something with Dream (the song) and I was looking through the Divine Comedy a couple of days ago and thought it would be cool to combine concepts! Something about how Soul sees Whole as something to rise to, something he yearns to be, and how Paradiso represents a soul's ascent to their God.

The caption comes from Canto 1 of Paradiso, and it's Dante writing about how he can't even describe what he saw when he first went into Paradiso, as the concept of it was too powerful for human comprehension.

Idk, I just think that giving the HMS religious concepts is cool (in a sort of messed up way, you know?) and it’s something I think about a lot, even though I’m not religious anymore. 

#i have lots of thoughts #also you will never guess who i used as a reference for whole here #i am not seeing the pearly gates #i should also mention that paradiso is so much to take in that dante asks apollo for help in writing down what he sees #take that as you want #chonny jash #angelo tag #tw religious themes #i think

relistening to the second half of midst 2.16 for like the eighth time. feeling really unhinged about the fact that one of the first things saskia says to hieronymous is "i didn't expect to see you again ever." they're clearly friends and clearly close but she still at least on some level expected their different roles in their shared mission was going to keep them apart forever, or that it was going to get one or both of them killed before they got a chance to see each other again! and she had good reason to think that! she watched sherman be nearly killed in front of her during a raid! she herself was nearly arrested, and now knows her position's been exposed and the trust could come back for her any day! she only survived the tearror by luck! not to mention what we now know about the specter of nick and maggie fleit's murder hanging over both their heads!

and yet by the end of the conversation what she says is "maybe someday we won't have to pretend we don't know each other." it's "maybe" and it's "someday" and it's a little wry but still, she didn't expect to see him again ever and here they both are! it's the choosing to still have hope it's the choosing to believe in the possibility of the best outcome or to at least say out loud you do even if you can't quite get there internally. but it's also about having the friend to whom you can admit you honestly didn't think you'd make it this far because you know he's risking just as much as you are and is just as committed to it. UGH saskia del norma the woman you are....

#midst #midst podcast #midst spoilers #midst podcast spoilers #i just think it's really easy to make a character with her archetype Always Hopeful All The Time. and i think it's fun that she's NOT. #but also that she is! you know what i mean. #i am once again saying that i hope something bad happens to her before this podcast is over #third person you can't give me a girlie like this with these kind of themes and these kind of convictions and NOT let me see her in the #WORST circumstances possible.... #i guess the tearror was pretty bad. tbh. but i mean danger directly from the trust here #btw i think there's also really something to that hieronymous's 'maybe' in response to her at the end doesn't sound convinced #'hope's not a course of action is it?' :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

throughout the series of drake and josh it pretty consistently implies that josh nichols is a christian (josh peck is jewish) and in the finale of the series helen (played by yvette nicole brown, not jewish[?]) is portrayed as a practicing jew

#i dont have a problem w either of those things necessarily i just find it interesting #if i had to guess. drake and josh was a mainstream that didnt wanna touch on religion generally #but josh was kind of a dork and usually when josh's religious beliefs are implied it is in dorkish ways #such as praying and thanking the lord after he has his first kiss. #but since dan schneider is jewish perhaps he wanted to make helen have a jewish wedding in the finale? #not that there needs to be a reason. but u do notice occasional jewish-related jokes in d&j but none of them are what you could call #offensive. in good faith that is. 'eric is a pacifist' 'i thought he was jewish?' like come on #text post #i have been rewatching drake and josh recently and i have had so many thoughts #im almost done. i just have left that stupid dance episode that they premiered last for the stupid reason #of a special dance-themed premiere night in fall 2007. they premiered the third episode of icarly and a new zoey 101 on the same night #which i think is so stupid. they should've aired really big shrimp last. it messed w my understanding of the series at the time lol #i remember not really knowing that the show was ENDING. like i knew icarly was starting & miranda was doing that #i thought really big shrimp was like just another special like go hollywood. #and then like two days later they premiered the helicopter episode for some reason #and i was like why is drake not famous in this. he just had a number 1 song in a superbowl commercial #and then a month later the dance one. which. if anything is satisfying about that as a final episode it's just that #that unnamed girl from the blues brothers episode who is obsessed w drake shows up again and congratulates them #and the very final line of the series is 'who is she?' because. because really who IS she? #that's a funny enough throwback to wrap things up with i suppose #drake and josh wasn't a highly serialized show so i can see how they could air those after the intended finale and act like it didn't matte #but i have to tell you it did fuck with my brain a bit at the time. lol. i still think of those episodes as having 'happened' after #and on paramount plus those episodes are still placed after really big shrimp. the injustice #but thats kinda messy. what a weird way to end such an influential and popular sitcom #season 4 had a few lowpoints while still also having some VERY solid episodes. #idk. ill have to continue my series review another time im getting way too longwinded here #helen dubois is jewish

Oh also when I start dropping the Red White and Royal Blue book quotes expect a FLOOD I'm highlighting the fuck out of this book

#red white and royal blue #lb #okay so 1. its well written. sincerely. #2 it knows the GOAL of its story so in its own way its Plenty deep #in regard to a. romance. b believable lived in characters c hinted emotion and biased pov narration #d political commentary social commentary international commentary generational commentary family trauma commentary #e excellent at what seems to be its theme which is showing how to connect to people you see as different #and like. the way that ties into the core romance and ties into the leads individual family trauma and fharacter arcs #and the way f OUTSIDE the novel how that affects the reader #the novel expects all readers to connect to this democrat politicial loudmouth half mexican texan child of divorce #whos stubborn as hell and somewhat self centered and so Mean to a guy he barely actually knows (when novel starts) #and thrn of course Alex is asked by his life to Connect to Henry. and the readers even if they are a TON like alex #still will also find connecting to Henry a leap (after all most of us simply are NOT royalty and know no one who is #even if we know public social media figures. its not to rhe degree of the Fantastical levrl of Prince Henry #and i think partly the character is a prince rather than Old Money generally because it TAKES the point further #it makes it so unrelatable to nearly all readers. so it asks us and alex to be open and get to know someone we simply cant judge or guess #ok anyway my point 3. i fucking HATE writing advice and heres why #different authors who are GREAT tackle the challenge of writing wrll very different. theres somr advice to #avoid writing thought felt wonders etc type words. this novel does it. and i feel does it well #it keeps the pace snappy in a DENSE book that needs it. it helps create the biased unreliable pov narration of alex #by telljng us not what he Actually thought but what hes PRETENDING TO HIMSELF to acknowledge or not. #which is alsl how i use those words. and its a fun time when the character is lying to themselves and readers have to notice #and get to be in on it

yuri lowell:

#DCB Comments #keeping this off my tales blog/out of tags bc i know the heteronormatives will come for me LOL #with their heteronormative v3speria dub (yes the dub actually altered/watered down #his relationship with a man probably bc it was too undertoney for them and western media is allergic to that) #not pictured in this post: the way yuri is used in official artwork with other tales characters #and is often surrounded by men. or the comic of him admitting he's popular with guys #also not pictured: the way yuri's alts for gacha games often feature flynn's color coding #and/or both of their color coding mixed into his outfit or accessories #also not pictured: the way yuri's wedding outfit alt is flynn color coded #also not pictured: the way yuri's bouquet in the other picture of his first outfit on this post #is almost identical to flynn's ''joke weapon'' bouquet of roses in the game #also not pictured: the entire gacha game of rays (that's based off respective game canon). i can't explain that to you in just tags #also yes yuri has a metal corset in that fourth picture. i don't... know many men who wear a corset #and the only other one i know in this franchise is in fact also the other main m/m pairing in the franchise #i also don't know many manly straight men who the character designers dress and style like this #i just want you all to know. if you're looking for a non heteronormative man. yuri has you covered #just maybe not so much in the dub just ignore that LOL. also worth mentioning that #japan gets a L O T of extra yuri material thanks to gachas merch and other official side material #everything in this post is official artwork and the last one is from this year #it's merch up for pre-order for t@lfes so yes they're still playing with his hair LOL #and yes if you ever pick up his game i am here to advertise to you not to play the dub (even tho the text will still sometimes be wrong...) #i am in fact writing giant lengthy posts abt it on my tales blog so i will not explain to you here in these tags #but the dub sapped yuri of so much emotion to make him seem cool and edgy and more of a troll #instead of playful fun and silly and just a dork but who is emotional when it matters #woe is them to let yuri's voice shake with heartbreak when he's worried abt a man! #i bet the localizers didn't even realize the entire opening theme song was abt yuri and another man and their relationship #maybe one day i'll make a fun post with all of flynn's color coding slapped all over yuri #also i BET there's someone out there who will see this and be like ''she's reaching'' #yeah i guess the official gacha game is reaching then too with how it treats yuri and flynn the same as the franchise's canon het pairs

gotta get off the internet and only interact irl with people who were 30 before they got their shit together i cant keep doing it like this

#like this being. feeling like i have no future and nobody likes me #‘youre only 19’ only goes so far when i dont know any other fail 19 year olds #im not gonna be a damn dentist for sure but like. and ive said this a thousand times. what am i gonna do. i cant live a worthless nothing #life where i work a shitty job i hate. i have to like something #i hate my art. i hate my lack of creativity. my art is so bland i just dont think its in me anymore #i finished. and i hate it #i have other hobbies. i like to cross stitch. i like to sew. i like to paint. i like to make dolls. do you see the common theme here #i have a few more than that i technically could do but i cant create anymore and it kills me. i want to. i constantly want to but i cant #it doesnt help that even if i havw ideas i dont even want to do them #i was gonna draw some characters from a game i played when i was little but i just #didnt want to. at no point did it not feel like a chore #ill try to go to new mediums! its fun to mess around and then itll feel boring again and going back doesnt feel any better #idk. googling it is useless. ive tried all the things. for years. ive been TRYING to draw consistently and like. doodles are fine theyre fu #but theyre not what i want to do i want to make something im proud of. i drew almost every single day for like 2 years #and its not burnout bc its been like. 2 more years! and ive barely wanted to at all!!! #i want to be creative and i also want people to recognize it. different complaint but it sucks so bad #i feel like nobody likes me. still. nobody cares about what i do. nobody would care if i stopped #like except me but i can only support myself so far!!!! im so tired of it!!!! someone PLEASE be here for me and just say ‘hey i love this #drawing :)’ like you have no idea what that would do for me #not always. but yknow especially if its been a while. if you like it. if you dont like it :( idk. you should tell me that too i guess #yknow so i can have some confirmation so i dont feel like im crazy. idk. dont actually id never go online again. i would probably. well. #i dont like to say the words #simons spouting #vent :(

when i mention that i have the most individual MiA fics out of any author on AO3 i am not bragging. mostly i am sad about this. fic scene is very small, total of ~200 works in all languages

i am also always noting that the characters i'm likely to read/write about aren't the same ones as the characters most of the rest of the already-small fic reader and writer scene for The Hole Show is likely to read/write about. so the following results aren't news to me

but i hadn't thought to actually compare character tags for the whole fandom to character tags for my work, and the sheer disparity between 'tags of the fandom' and 'tags of the author who wrote the most individual fics in that fandom' is...funny lol. (left: MiA tag as a whole's most tagged characters; right: ebilfic's most tagged characters

#orphan hole tag #ebil writes #Now You See Why I Made Ye Olde Ganja Server. #also if this wasn't already clear from the numbers: #belaf and vueko would not actually place in the top ten characters if not for my fics #i checked what happens if you remove them and the next most tagged characters are Marulk and Original Character #a little surprised Faputa doesn't place in that situation? i was hoping she would #so i could be like. aww she took their place they'd be happy to give their places up for her #like this is interesting because faputa is a very popular character in fanart. but not for fic i guess #anyway whenever i reproach myself with 'don't complain that characters you like don't have more content -- make the content' #i'm like. well actually wait. i am Very Much already Making the Content to the tune of 'most prolific by fic count AO3 author in the fandom #and i'm not out here being a dick in any way to people who only like the other characters so it's fine. :v #rel.: i have a fear if i hosted an AO3 exchange it'd maybe just result in 'two thirds is people asking for and receiving Weird Rabbit Smut #( a decent amount of Nanachi's tag is Weird Rabbit Smut) #which i dont...uh...have any wish for Effort Put in By Me to facilitate. and hosting an exchange certainly involves Putting Effort. #it could perhaps be an exchange themed/centered on secondary characters or adult characters or season two characters or something

no one asked but the music in argenti's quest was driving insane for a while and i was wondering why only to realize that they both sound very ff13-esque.

"Cosmic Sacrifice for Love" sounds like "Giant's Fist" by Naoshi Mizuta

"A Gentleman's Fantasy"... I can't even pinpoint exactly which Masashi Hamauzu song it sounds like BUT IT USES A LOT OF SIMILAR HAMAUZU MOTIFS AND ITS REALLY GOOD LMAO just like listen to "Blinded by Light" :)

#I WAS WONDERING WHY I WAS FIXATED ON THESE SONGS IN PARTICULAR I CRACKED THE CASE #THE CASE IS I HAVE NEVER MOVED ON FROM THIS GAME #i would ask to leave but unfortunately ff13 owns my soul and i don't really want to take it back #no this is not a push to make people play ff13 what hahaha hahahahaahahahhahah #nah i just. i miss ff13. but whats new LAKSJDHLFADSKJHLKJH #like every other day ill go 'man i miss ff13' and do nothing about it. bc i really cant #i MEAN TECHNICALLY YES I CAN BC BY IMPULSE I DOWNLOADED THE GAME /AGAIN/ GUESS WHY GO ON LMAO #but yeah #no anyways if you do like those songs i recommend masashi hamauzu ^7^ he makes such good songs #im not too much of a fan of naoshi mizuta i think... but i mean some of the songs in ff13-2 are super good #most of the ost is a little. funky though #but he did also make promptos theme? home sweet home? i think? #bro that song makes me baaaawl its very very beautiful but thats bc i do really likethe sound of cello myeheh #no one asked for the ff13/hsr ramble yet here i am :) ✨✨✨✨ #i just thinkitd be funny if they looked into ff13 for inspiration for the ost 👀theyd get a + from me for that #i just wanted to share ff13 music. or. share. ff13 anything really. hi <3 #hahahaha now if they did a wittle more and pulled more hamauzu style songs for penacony ? eheheheh <3 i think i might have found my favorit #favorite place <3 i already kinda see the potential for it being to my liking BUT WE SHALL SEE #okay im done rambling HI !!! #snow plays hsr #... should i tag my ff13 rambles? #i guess lmao #snow plays ff13 #i feel like a different song sounds more like cosmic sacrifice for love but that was the first thing that came to mind probably bc #the only things that ever stick in my brain in ff13-2 is yaschas massif 10 af 😗😗

Top three moments from robocop 2 that make me think that frank miller accidentally made robocop trans

#i had a breakdown about this on twitter when I was watching this. but man. #okay remember that essay I was writing in my head I’ll sum it up here. so robocop 1 is all about well actually it’s a critique of capitalism #and the dangers of giving cooperations to much power and modern action movies and what have you. it’s a good movie. but it’s also about #robocop reclaiming his identity which is signified by 1. the fact that he spends the finale with the mask off to show that it is in fact #alex murphy doing this not robocop and 2. the way it ends is literally on the exchange of dialogue “what’s your name son’’ “Murphy’’ #it’s literally him reclaiming his identity. so if robocop 1 is about him and his rediscovering his humanity then it tracks that robocop 2 is #about how society reacts to that. and it does kind of. there’s a lot of like moments like this where murphy asserts his identity only to be #broken down by the people with positions of power over him - he’s not alex murphy he’s not even human he doesn’t even have rights. and like #they bring up his wife and kid in the first 15 minutes and you think okay so they’ll explore how this has effected them. how do they feel #about each other? it’s stated in the first movie that he remembers her but he doesn’t really feel for her I believe- something contradicted #in this movie by the fact that he apparently constantly drives by her house. so if it’s not love driving him then what is it? is it the #desire to have what he can never really get again? a normal life with his family? well guess what! they have him say to his wife alex murphy #is dead and not even what appears to remain of him is really left and she disappears from the movie #they do explore how he’s viewed by society somewhat but it’s mainly a juxtaposition of how his friends and coworkers see him vs ocp the corp #that created him and it’s basically like his friends acknowledge his personhood but in the eyes of the law and ocp he has no rights because #he’s not a person he’s a tool! and this gets taken to the extent where he is literally reprogrammed by ocp once he gets destroyed to be a #‘better’ tool for fighting crime and you think oh okay this is where this movie is going to go it’s an exploration of Murphy’s rights and #him dealing with these forced changes is going to be a big part of the movie and then no. it lasts for like ten minutes and then abruptly #ends when murphy risks wiping out all that remains of him to be free- an interesting idea that never gets brought up again because any #real continuation of the themes of the first half of the movie kind of stop and he practically disappears for 40 minutes and I think that’s #where my problems with robocop 2 really come in because like. it’s written by frank miller and another guy with a story by frank miller. #he’s not the most subtle man in the world and he certainly lacks capability of the deft political commentary of the first movie and it just #kind of becomes a less subtle rehashing of the old one. the lack of subtlety is apparent when one of the characters literally says the theme #of the movie to a bunch of reporters ‘we can’t let cooperations have this much power or they take away our rights’ which is true but that’s #what the first movie said FRANK. you have to come up with something new FRANK #and that’s why I liked the exploration of Murphy and his rights and his feelings because the first movie was about him like. learning that #he had them and coming to terms with it but now a year or so later what’s the situation? and the situation is that it’s the same. #it even ends on the exact same note as robocop!! murphy says to his partner ‘we’re only human’ which could have been impactful if murphy #ever truly doubted his identity- sure he can be convinced to say that he’s not but everytime he’s pressed about it he repeats that he IS #Alex murphy until he is literally forced not to! like there’s a scene where he has to literally be programmed to stop saying that he is alex

wot show is so obsessed with architecture and tbh i'm not mad about it???

#the number of like. elaborate little symmetrical rooms they have for things to happen in… #part of me is loling but part of me is like. you know what? they've got a theme. respect. #tvblogging #(also i'm just getting to 2x08 now and like. it IS funny being a show-only*) #[*ok technically i read like. two? three? of the books back in like 2020 or something but. they weren't Formative Texts of my Adolescence] #(bc i remember everybody on here was *freaking out* abt‚ i think‚ 2x07) #(and like. in retrospect i guess i understand what that was about! but i gotta admit it didn't quite have the same emotional weight for me) #(even though intellectually i understand it was supposed to) #(i mean i also think i like. often don't get that emotionally invested in romances i see onscreen?) #(not sure if that's fundamental to the medium for me or if it's because everything is so compressed) #(however i AM kinda thrilled abt this season's regendering of Uncommunicatively Angsting Blorbo vs Their Long-Suffering Support Person) #(also honestly i always really love when we don't have to do a whole performative abasing reconciliation situation) #(and someone's just like. look. our relationship is so much more deeply rooted than this one wobble. obviously i'll take you back.) #(i think honestly bc it's like. a confidence fantasy.) #(like you got SO much witcher fanfic where geralt had to‚ like‚ prostrate himself at jaskier's feet) #(to acknowledge the harm geralt had done him and how jaskier deserved so much better etc etc etc) #(and it just felt to me like the writers were really speaking to their own insecurities and what *they'd* personally need) #(bc that interaction would've thrown *them* into a tailspin so obviously it must've thrown jaskier into one) #(and like. that's valid or whatever‚ obviously! but like. sometimes don't you want to imagine what it's like to feel secure instead???) #(like 'actually i know i'm good‚ you know where to find me when you get over yourself and remember you know it too'?)

i think gera gera po should be used more in english yo-kai watch stuff. the anime only uses it for like half of season 1 and none of the english games have it as an opening-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #gera gera po gera gera po gera gera po gera gera po #sit back here's our story nate say hey yo no whisper go cracka-lacka-boom-boom #there's more yo-kai than taders in idaho like cheeksqueek and his popo #feel that there way down below fidgephant makes you need a quick commode #all this gera po turn back the clock yo and see what we can see #oh my lost friend who cares for him a home is what he so needs kids in this town they have family he wants that safety #with nightfall comes great danger and things go from strange to so much stranger #gera gera po gera gera po gera gera po gera gera (yeah) po #yea i like gera gera po. yo-kai watch (feat. swampy marsh) is also good #as are the opening themes for blasters n 3. i mean i've actually only heard go tomato red (or whatever it's called) and cheers! full of love #idk on. whatever the other two are for each. does moon rabbit crew's count when it's not in english- i mean i guess it does

also,, a not-quite-all-that-fun thing about being less than the avg weight is like... today in work I was on checkouts and the chair (so for reference... a cheap office chair) was too high but wouldn't lower with just my weight

(and I'm not gonna sacrifice my pride by asking someone to help... (unless it was my manager who called me a skinny Minnie 😎) )

SO instead I was stuck hunched over for like 5 hours today :) (only after my break at least) and it's been like Ouch

(I've been off like 6 hours at this point and my back still hurts)

#can you tell that I love brackets #English teachers hate me #also!! #the manager I thought that hated me #also the other coworker I thought that hated me #and the OTHER coworker I thought that hated me #(can u see a theme here) #don't seem to hate me #if you're reading these tags I'm so sorry lmao #but yeah!! I assumed (from them being regular humans with emotions) that they hated me #but they do not!! #slay #so yeah tbh I'm doing rather well I guess?? #love to all my moots that I haven't checked up on lately #sending love (aggressive >:) ) #If you've read this far... i do genuinely feel bad for only updating when I'm drinking anymore #unslay #she’s drinking more than only black coffee #me talking into the little hellsite (affectionate)
