Road to Branson

I’ll never forget the Road to Branson. 

We took it in the Bus. The bright green bus that my stepfather had bought. The bright green bus with the buckets and the hoses and the shower curtain rooms. The horrible forty foot cage that we lived in. The bus with me and him and my mother and my siblings and our cats and our dogs and our turtle. All eleven of us in a snot green bus on the Road to Branson.

I’ll never forget the hills. I’ll never forget the belly aching climbs up nearly vertical inclines and the fear that we’d fall on our back. I’ll never forget the swooping of the buzzards in my gut as we descended from the tops of them. I’ll never forget the way my mother’s rocking chair bobbled and shook and slid. I’ll never forget the roaring of the engine as my stepfather forced the poor Snot Rocket to do the impossible on the Road to Brason. 

Up and down and Up and down, swerving around tight corners. From the windows on the side, peeking behind the hand stitched curtains clumsily hung, I remember seeing down the side of a drop. I remember vividly imagining going over the side and dying. Dying in a horrible, fiery death from within the snot green bus with our cats and our dogs and our turtle on the Road to Branson.

I remember the rock walls and the undressed Christmas trees that sat atop them. The thick and colorful lines that God had drawn in crayon across the sides that rose above the road below. The oranges and the reds and the grays and the browns. I remember it, because it was something other than the sprawling nothingness of the rest of the Midwest. The bubbles in my ears were a constant reminder that I was in an unfamiliar place. The rising and falling on the Road to Brason.

We went and left and came again, over and over and over. It’s right in the middle, in the middle of the churches we worked at in New York and California. In the middle of Florida and Washington. In the middle of the great emptiness that is the Midwest. When I close my eyes, I can see it perfectly. The drop offs and the tight corners and the looming walls and the freezing cold frosting breaths of a midwestern winter without heating and our turtle paddling gently along the rocky path from his perch atop the four foot speaker that my stepfather absolutely had to have on the Road to Branson.

The boiling cauldron of excitement that brewed inside my chest bubbled over with the addition of that one cheese factory we’d always visit. I’d know we were close when the forest of billboards arose from the horizon, broadcasting shows and caves and rides. Passing the ocean of trees that stretched out further than the sky, imagining the entire thing swallowing me whole. The ziplines and the towers and that one random roller coaster, beckoning us closer with smiling frozen faces.

Frozen faces keeping eternal watch over the Road to Branson.

the confetti for a not guilty verdict is actually the funniest fucking thing about ace attorney

it’s like they inherently know their system is fucked to the to the extent that they’ve got the celebration confetti at the ready when they don’t wrongfully incarcerate someone

edgeworth never lost a trial until he faced phoenix wright so the confetti goes off and he’s probably like what the fuck ppfthh pffth phhh that last bit is him spitting the confetti out of his mouth

#ace attorney #glitter conspiracy solved the world’s largest buyer of glitter is the japanafornia legal system #since this post is now getting notes I will specify I am aware that it’s gumshoe throwing the confetti according to the official comic #I just think it’s much funnier that the actual game implies it’s a feature of the court room #and explain how apollo gets confetti then #I gotta commit to the bit

Obsessed with lovers and piners calling the object of their affections their best friend. Like yessss blur the lines between platonic and romantic love. show how important they are to you in a multifaceted way. Cover up your feelings with another kind of love that is just as true. One type of love does not negate the other and but tragedy can rip both out from under you single handedly, and it will hurt so much more that way. Losing a friend and a lover. Gaining both and not needing any labels for what they are. Using labels but having it be so much more than a title. Were they friends before they were lovers? Or were they lovers whose friendship grew inside of their love? Unclear! Who cares!

#any time one side of the pairing pulls out the best friend card I am immediately on the floor #they can be side by side! they can be distinct! it doesn't have to be explained! #they did this in the new nimona movie and i crumpled #call me arospec and biased but holy shit this is my bread and butter #nimona #goldenheart #good omens #ineffable husbands #she ra #catradora #ace attorney #narumitsu #they ARE best friends. they are also lovers. are you listening to me. #should i tag queerplatonic here? that's definitely part of this too #clefadrylcorner talks a lot

The real reason Oda had to get rid of her was not for plot convenience, but bc she would have kicked everyone’s ass. (Source: trust me bro)

#Art block auggh but must draw pretty lady aauugghh #also fr thought you mean to tell me this lady with the D. in her name wasn’t out here being an absolute menace #like I feel like she and Roger had to be in the same wavelength of fuckass crazy like cmon now #Rouge and Roger backstory when? (I am delusional) #also her being portrayed as this saintly dead mother figure feels very strange to me. boo to women being killed for plot convenience🍅🍅 #also I really tried to draw her similar to how I draw ace bc he is literally a mammas boy #copy and paste of his mom with his dads hair #AGGGHH I NEED MORE OF HERR #AND IF I CANT HAVE MORE I WILL MAKE MORE💥💥 #art #digital art #my art #fanart #drawing #digital illustration #one piece #portgas d ace #portgas d rouge #rouge #op #one piece fanart

i loeve you phoenix wright ace attorney trilogy

#aa #ace attorney #this was significantly harder to do than the dgs one on account of the trilogy has more than 10 cases #but we stay silly <3 #the aa4 is coming..... later . i am a little tired of this format after doing two of these back to back 😭

[kilometresrufflefuck]

me: so u see apollo's objection theme starts out with the melody following the same beat as the rhythm track in the background, unlike phoenix's objection themes, which are all very distinctively syncopated all the way through. but as apollo's theme progresses the melody gradually gets more out of sync with the background rhythm track. this shows that while phoenix's style is unconventional and "off-beat" from the start, apollo starts out trying to do his job by the book but eventually finds that the most effective way to seek justice is to be a little unconventional and not just follow the beaten track because u can't win by following the rules in a broken system. do u understand. he's finding his voice. making himself heard against the background. it's symbolism

HI WHAT WOULD THERAPY BE LIKE FOR APOLLO JUSTICE

DOES HE TELL THEM ABOUT THE MAGIC BRACELET. DOES HE TELL THEM THAT HE'S A HUMAN LIE DETECTOR AND THAT IT'S KINDA REALLY FUCKING WITH HIS RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE IN EVERY INTERACTION APOLLO IS AWARE OF THE CHANCE THEY MAY LIE TO HIS FACE

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL

#ace attorney #apollo justice #I am a firm believer that Apollo Justice does not have the health insurance to support therapy but IMAGINE

[ale-arro]

been going a little bit insane about this sentence from Ace by Angela Chen for the past week

#replace this with any other type of significant relationship too #also! this book actually rules btw i really recommend it #i didnt read it when it first cane out bc i was like. well i am already pretty familiar with asexuality and not rly interested in 101 stuff #but it turns out it doesnt feel 101-y at all its a super awesome piece of queer theory and also chen has Good opinions #and not weird watered down ones that i am sometimes wary of in aspec communities (frankly especially ace ones) #i think maybe if more people approached asexuality the way chen does (including and maybe even especially ace people) #i would be more inclined to still ID as ace #but anyways! #aro #aromantic #<- tag selections that reflect how i personally engage with this quote #also #described in alt text #also also #j tag #:/ #aro media

the greeks believed that our souls were split in half so we have to find our missing pieces. but i feel full. my soul is complete. aromanticism allows the soul to stay together
