Spoilers for Chapter 2, Episode 2 of Candela Obscura below. You know the drill.

One of the things I really liked about this episode is how Spenser played with the structure of a typical CO episode. Maybe that's a weird thing to talk about, it's not like we've had this series for that long and we've had the Circle of Needle and Thread for even less time. But there is an expected rhythm in games and media like this: an inciting incident happens, the team is called together to get the details of their mission, and they begin an investigation. This time we got the first step (the horrible thing happening to innocent people), followed by a long RP session where we caught up with where everyone is and the players got to flesh out their characters' lives and world. And while that was all really interesting, it also established the feeling of things not being quite right, of being unsettled and not knowing where the story was going because it wasn't following the pattern. And just when we seemed to get back on track with step 2 (receiving their mission), Nathaniel was attack by something pretending to be their Lightkeeper in their chapter house where they're supposed to be safe.

It's a clever, subtle structural choice on Spenser's part to generate a feeling of unease among the players and the audience. I suppose it shouldn't have been so surprising since he played with the structure in a different way in Chapter 2, Episode 1, where we got the inciting incident only to immediately be thrown into meeting the circle while they're in the middle of a completely separate mission.

It's just a fun choice that adds to the atmosphere generated by the setting, the costumes, the set, and Spenser's style of narration/GMing to make something I absolutely love.

Got Calvinball'd by @kanerallels and @singswan-springswan, so here's a bit of the TLC/Rebels AU I started writing this morning instead of just rambling about the plot idea like I was supposed to *side eyes my bad impulse control*

Sabine yelped in surprise as a blur of orange vaulted over her table, and a voice hissed “Please don’t tell them I’m here!” It didn’t take long to figure out who the “them” was, because a second later, three angry boys shoved through the marketplace, looking around. One of them approached her stall, and the kid who’d thrown himself over the countertop crouched as low as he could, so the guy couldn’t see him over the table. Sabine didn’t like bullies. And those boys looked like bullies to her. “Can I help you?” Sabine asked. The guy glared at her. “I said,” Sabine repeated, standing, meaningfully resting her hand on a wrench. “Can I help you?” He scowled and stormed off without a word, and Sabine sat back down and then swiveled in her chair to look at the kid and demand answers. And Sabine froze. He was dressed in casual clothes, but they couldn’t disguise him from her. The net connection in her mind whirled, flashing up lines of information in her bionic eyes as her brain put the pieces together. Ezra Bridger. Age—15. Royalty. Orphan. Under the guardianship of the Prince Regent up until his 18th birthday— She realized with a jolt that he was staring right back at her, and she gulped down her disappointment as she wondered what she’d done to give herself away. Maybe one of her sleeves had ridden up when she stood, revealing a glint of metal wrists. Or maybe he’d somehow already heard about the cyborg mechanic in the marketplace. Or maybe— Still staring goggle-eyed at her, he grinned and whispered a breathless, “Hey.” Or maybe, Sabine realized, a little bit relieved and a little bit amused, he just thought she was cute.

Your bio says that you sew! What is your niche for sewing?

Do you make costumes, or quilt, or embroider, or cross-stitch... Or maybe you're like me, and hand-sew with all the finesse of a horror movie monster?

What are you most proud of making?

Oh boy, questions!

I don't sew very frequently, but when I do it's usually clothes! And very often it's for a Halloween costume, lol. I'm alright at hand sewing (put generously,) but I very much prefer machine sewing.

I have a huge pile of unfinished projects (because of course lol), but I was very pleased with myself when I finished a mock-up of the Tactician's coat from the game Fire Emblem Awakening! I took a bunch of pictures, took it apart to use the pieces as a pattern for the actual coat, and then never finished the coat itself, lol. I also made a coat for an Edward Elric cosplay in high school, the one time I went to a convention, but I used a bathrobe pattern (very different shape at the shoulder-arm join) and accidentally stitched everything with half the seam allowance it should have had because I was rushing it the day before and was also tired, LMAO. It's super comfy tho, and I still wear it sometimes just for fun!

I did make a quilt once, when I was young, as part of a 4H sewing thing, and it turned out alright aside from the fact that I had forgotten to buy fabric to back it with and had to use whatever the teacher had on hand because it was, once again, being finished the day before the deadline, lmao.

I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I feel like I tend to gravitate more towards crafting things with a specific purpose behind it (coat for costume, pointy hat to wear in winter, dress for a friend), so I tend toward wearables more than things that are meant to just be displayed or left laying around on things. (Yes I know quilts can be very nice when used on beds but I already have perfectly good bed things and wouldn't trust a quilt I made not to fall apart when I kick it to a billion pieces in my sleep, lol).

I've dabbled in cross-stitching before (it's like pixel art!) but I don't think I have the patience for embroidery 😅

#hmmm now I need a tag for when I answer an ask #how about... #woe! answers be upon ye

continuation to this post

alternatively, i could slow it down to time drive with the first row of swords (and a possible second row)

however, that would leave me vulnerable to urizen's spells, unless I sdt trick out of it or manage to exploit drive's i-frames with the time slowdown more consistently. it's also very slow. (yup, drive seems to have i-frames. it doesn't seem very consistent though?)

which one do you guys think is better?

so i got inspired by @iamalittlebb who is doing a "saving for malleus" journey and decided i wanted to record my journey (even though i already started and im saving for idia).

i've been saving up since the last part of chapter five was released. i have about 120 (5 ten-fold keys, 20 singles, and about 50 from gems) draws for idia, which is enough to full the ssr gauge. i would've had more ten-fold keys but, i missed a birthday and leona was too tempting to pass up. luckily he loves me enough to come home in one ten draw so i didn't have to worrying too much about that.

(A dream for you as a writer). And I’ll try to tonight 😭💚 and you’re absolutely welcome, I’m glad it’s motivating because as I said I really do stand by it!! And I’m also glad that it made you happy, because that’s exactly how I felt last night discovering your blog and your fics! 💚 Really?! That’s fantastic you do!! And omg?!?!? I’m looking forward to it, I know it’ll be absolutely delightful and I’m super excited for this surprise 🥰 you’re welcome my lovely!! I’ll make sure I get some sleep later kfdskkdkf but ily too💝

The dream based bois! Note: They are actually black and not gray, I just didn’t feel like going through all the effort.

They might look pretty weak but I highly recommend NOT pissing them off...

Cause they WILL fuck you up.

Now onto the story stuff!

So using some aspects of the dream to make an actual plot, Sonic and Tails are investigating some castle ruins that Amy went to explore but then never came back.

They begin to look around while staying within close range of each other when strange things start to happen. As of writing this I’m not sure what, but I do know that Sonic and Tails get separated.

Upon getting separated, Tails actually manages to find Amy! But something is off about her. She’s acting strange. Giggling can be heard from her direction and upon getting close enough she attacks Tails.

Tails manages to escape but he doesn’t get away unscathed. He’s really beat up, exhausted, and scared. He tries his best not to pass out but eventually he passes out from exhaustion and an unknown corruption that lays within the ruins begin to engulf him.

Meanwhile, Sonic has been frantically looking for Tails. The place is obviously dangerous and his brotherly instincts are kicking in hardcore.

But no matter how hard he looks he just can’t find Tails and it’s slowly driving him crazy! And then despite the fact he hasn’t been backtracking, Sonic begins to swear that he’s been looking into the same rooms over and over. What is happening...?

Eventually he slows down a bit to make sure he’s not imagining it and yup, he’s been going in some weird infinite loop. 

He tries everything he can think of to get it to stop, including spin dashing into the wall, but no luck. It seems likes he really is trapped. This obviously frustrates him immensely. How’s he supposed to find Tails if he can’t get out of this dumb infinitely looping hallway?!

Eventually he gives up and begrudgingly lays in a random bed in one of the rooms. He lays there for a while, frustration evident. He keeps rolling back and forth on the bed trying to think of something, ANYTHING, to get him out.

What even is this place? Why is this happening? Are Tails and Amy trapped like he is?

Anger begins to boil within Sonic as the corruption starts to infect and influence him. He doesn’t even realize his quills darkening, too distracted by lashing out.

Eventually something causes him to hurt his eye and eventually he passes out from the exhaustion, the corruption finally overtaking him. And it morphs him.

State of the Blog 8.1.2022

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

The good news is that after months of feeling burned out and uninspired, I finally feel like posting and writing again.

The bad(?) news is that it probably won’t be much about either Magia Record or When They Cry.

That’s right, it’s time for this blog to take another sudden and random swerve in direction! But first, consider this post a farewell and postmortem to my feelings on the aforementioned fandoms, and an update on what to look forward to from this space in the near future.

tl;dr: friendship ended with MagiReco and WTC. now The Locked Tomb is my best friend. This is your warning to follow/unfollow accordingly!

.

As is probably evident from my half-year+ disappearance, I’m extremely not in the mood to engage with When They Cry stuff. Last year’s new mangas taking any queer SatoRika interpretations out back and shooting them dead (ow, right in the headcanon!) was the end. And that turned out to be the final nail in what was already a well-built coffin.

After the disappointment and frustrations of Higurashi SotsuGou being capped off with my worst queerbaiting fears coming true, I just… I just couldn’t any more. I saw the rest of the fandom engaging with the new material, and I wanted no part in it. I realized that thinking about WTC was making me miserable, and I have so many better things to do than rain on other people’s parades. Seriously, if you’re still enjoying the fandom, more power to you! But I don’t see myself coming back for a long, long time. If ever.

Without love, it cannot be seen. And I no longer have that love, so there is no point in my looking.

My only regret is not finishing my fic, Cat Got Her Tongue. I was quite close to finishing Chapter 7, and I might still try to do that one day. I also still have the very extensive plot outline, which I might polish up and post here at some point, just for the sake of closure.

But as much as it sucks to say it: consider CGHT officially abandoned.

I’m also not particularly enthused to post about MagiReco either, sorry. I eventually did watch the last four episodes of the anime, and I’ve put up my thoughts on them in this post. But while the anime sure was Something, that something wasn’t enough to grab me back. I’ve even stopped playing the game itself. My feelings on MagiReco aren’t quite as bitter as Higurashi, but, well, I’d already been disappointed in it for a very long while. Now I’ve finally run out of patience and impossible hopes.

So what will this tumblr be moving forward?

Well... few months ago, my procrastination and avoidance of anything WTC or MagiReco-related morphed into aimless wandering through an assortment of many different things - cosplaying Rozen Maiden in FFXIV, playing lots of Touhou-inspired D&D, and catching up on a few books with Actual Queer Characters that I’d had recommended to me - wondering if perhaps something might stand out and plant the seeds of a new obsession.

As it turned out, The Locked Tomb series struck just the right nerve! The whole “lesbian necromancers in space” tagline already had my Attention, but somehow no one had told me they were also mystery/psychological thriller novels! Like hi, hello, yes, that is precisely my jam.

I hope you all like the disaster lesbians as much as I do, because I will not be shutting up about them any time soon.

So yeah, to reiterate: this blog will be shifting gears again, and if you’re only here for WTC and/or MagiReco analysis, this is your warning to unfollow.

And you choose to stick around, prepare for skeletons!

.

Now, the existing TLT books technically came out two years ago, but as everyone knows, time is an illusion during the pandemic and therefore doesn’t count. As such, I’ve decided to dig through the entire Locked Tomb tags on both AO3 and tumblr in chronological order, a thing that is both reasonable to want and possible to achieve.

In fact, I was initially planning to finish all of that before posting any of my own analysis or fics (because I do so hate the feeling of failing to do my fandom homework), but at my current progress rate, it will be months and months before I’m fully caught up. And Nona the Ninth is coming out in September, oh my!

So, for the time being, I’ll still be fairly quiet while in the process of devouring and incorporating a new fandom into my brain, and I probably won’t have much to say about all the Nona spoilers and hype while they’re relevant. 

But I won’t be completely on hiatus either. I’ll be putting up giant reblog queues occasionally, and maybe sprinkling in some of my own posts that I feel most confident about. I apologize in advance if they’re things that have been discussed before! As far my adventures in time travel are concerned, I’m living in December 2020 right now~
