a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol#finn's ocs#finn's art#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

kind of considering printing off like three medical reports on how slowly increasing activity/exercise levels does not actually work for long covid chronic fatigue and just carrying them around in a duotang everywhere or something because I'm getting real tired of people telling me that I just need to slowly build up my tolerance to doing things again as if I haven't been trying that for over a year and getting nowhere and as if medical research hasn't already proven that it literally does not work like that for this type of disability 🥲

thing i wrote down about roxas in class today that i wanted to share: a lot of the time when he tries to articulate a feeling he uses something physical. like roxas has a kind of bad understanding of emotions so he links them to tangible changes or physical feelings.

I know I should just block (and not OPEN) tags and posts ab '24 but my brain is stupid and likes to be informed even if it makes me worse
#marquilla#im not even joking when i say this next election makes me wanna kms so bad. im fucking terrified and i feel like we already know what's#gonna happen. not bc people arent voting or organizing i mean bc of how far the right has gotten and how angry they are that a#dem won so theyre gonna show up in droves and it's like god i wish we could idk have some safegaurds in place??? like oh idk you#incite an insurrection you Can't run for president?? but also that wouldnt fully stop shit bc florida has its own neo nazi running and#theres more behind him in the wings. but like idk man i just get so fucking suicidal thinking ab the future#and my drs. are like well then dont look at the news??? 'i sure dont' mkay thats great (not) but um i CAN'T not watch bc i need to#be informed i need to know. and they're like well then stop worrying ab it til election day?? LIKE THAT HELPS#so i just dont bring it up. and i just spiral and have breakdowns in the shower and think ab making a will and shit yknow normal stuff#bc this is fine! just dont engage! stop worrying it's like a year away! it MIGHT get better! idk Join in your community then??#like yes yes thats a start but with what fucking energy when im bedbound most of the time im not working and that doesnt stop these fascist#s like me helping the community garden would be good for the community and probably my mental health in general BUT that doesnt deal with#the actual fear that makes me wanna Kermit#like it really fucking feels like all i can do is pray and hope god somehow intervenes (rapture anyone?) and that things do go well and#that the outright outspoken nzis don't win but like I really just wanna die man#i know the outcome more than likely will not directly affect my life bc im white. cis passing. and can go back in the closet regretfully#but like that doesnt reassure me any bc i have friends and loved ones and generally just give a shit ab other people and how this WILL#affect them directly and that terrifies me. it really feels like we cant ever have a moment to just exist yknow??#idk man i just wanna die bc im so scared haha how fun (: how normal (: this is fine. everything is fine.

Homestuck is so interesting because like...listen it's good. I will die on that goddamn hill. But there's different stadia to it. The first one being "wow I did not fucking understand any of that."
The second one is "oh okay I gave it another shot and things are falling together into this full circle of paradox space :)"
And the third one is when you comprehend Homestuck well enough to point out the flaws in its narrative. And there are a lot of flaws in the narrative (although technically subjective, the fandom kind of agrees that by the end of Act 6, things were getting...worse).

its impossible for vampire the masquerade to have a protagonist which i actually love when it comes to how it effects the storytelling of the lore but beckett does have protagonist syndrome. he wants to change the course of everything but the context of the world makes that agonizing to pursue, because that world is not meant for people who want to change things. it is exactly like trying to combat capitalism.

ren can't help but be mildly antagonistic to everyone even when he holds no genuine ill intent because he's most accustomed to those kinds of negative relationships send tweet.

It's funny stepping back into fandom spaces where most people are within my general age range or older after making so many younger friends in MiAbyss fandom* so when i go back to my old stomping grounds of LOGH or T&B or Star Trek or Vorkosiverse or the BJD hobby or just the whole entire SFF/genre fiction reader+writer sphere and it's like oh ok yeah. i'm not really thaaaaaaattttt humongously old i guess. because to be honest with you sometimes in other contexts i feel like the club penguin 18+ elderly penguin
*not to erase those of you in there who are older! it's just that something with MiA that was a brand new experience for me over the last year is that I sure did accumulate some treasured fandom friends a decade-ish younger than me and i feel somewhat protective of them slash occasionally ashamed of not being a more impressive role model or something but okay look you guys don't want a mentor you want a draw-er of shitposts and a writer-er of decentish fanfics and That I Can Do

i love being fictional but in real life actually. like my identity being inherently rooted in """fiction""" and yet boom here i am . a fictional creatura. an embodiment of having passed thru many existences that many would consider fictional. oooooooooooo the bleed between reality and fiction. anyway

am having the weirdest issue w/ this dvd i bought online, where like, it plays but the video is deeply fucked up and jerky/skipping therefore unsyncing it from the audio (which is fine). BUT. only on the xbox. i found one single solitary review saying it ended up working fine on a regular dvd player and lo and behold, tried it on my dad's laptop and it's true! How? Why? Who Fucking Knows! Now i gotta go dig our fucking oldass dvd player outta basement storage bc lord knows neither my new laptop nor my old laptop has one -_-
it's fuckin weird, tho, right? Like, there were other amazon reviews mentioning the issue but just the one about the xbox vs dvd drive thing, and there were def other ppl positively reviewing the dvd itself and not just the movie (they mentioned the extra features). i also kept finding one-off comments on various reddit threads that mention the issue but never any resolution. i even logged on to facebook (gag) on my computer and scrolled alllllll the way back to 2017/2018 on the movie's official fb page and again. just the occasional comment about the issue and like 1 single reply on 1 comment mentioning the xbox thing ://///

hc time: i think Alear is a little shit when they want to be. like they’re usually too nice to even contemplate a shred of assholery, but if you somehow piss them off then all bets are off. they are putting spiders in your socks because fuck you.
this ESPECIALLY applies to Past Alear. the tomato’s normally too tired/awkwardly nice to give ppl shit but give them something and they will take it and fucking RUN with it.

I’m so sorry I don’t mean to contribute to discourse when it’s already so toxic--people are allowed to be upset with what happened in ep 5 and even to drop the series entirely if they don’t like where it’s going--but I keep seeing even the most well-informed people saying Louis and Lestat have never had more than a minor/brief physical altercation and that’s factually untrue. In fact, I think I can pinpoint the exact scene from the book that this was supposed to be an adaptation of (bear with me):
I cannot tell you all that happened then. I cannot possibly recount it as it was. I remember heaving the lamp at Lestat; it smashed at his feet and the flames rose at once from the carpet. I had a torch then in my hands, a great tangle of sheet I’d pulled from the couch and ignited in the flames. But I was struggling with him before that, kicking and driving savagely at his great strength. And somewhere in the background were Claudia’s panicked screams. And the drapes of the windows blazed. I remember that his clothes reeked of kerosene and that he was at one point smacking wildly at the flames. He was clumsy, sick, unable to keep his balance; but when he had me in his grip, I even tore at his fingers with my teeth to get him off. [...] I remember rolling over and over with Lestat in the flames, feeling the suffocating heat in my face, seeing the flames above his back when I rolled under him. [Claudia attacks Lestat with a poker to help Louis escape his grip.]
What happened next then is not clear to me. I think I grabbed the poker from her and gave him one fine blow with it to the side of the head. I remember that he seemed unstoppable, invulnerable to the blows.
Now, GRANTED, this scene is supposed to take place AFTER the attempted murder, and maybe someone could argue that swamp!Lestat is not in his right mind here, but the fact remains that they do have a brutal fight that involves some pretty extreme violence. We don’t get any description of how injured Louis is afterward besides “scorched and aching” before it skips ahead, but as Lestat himself says one whole novel later: “Read between the lines.”
Is it more fucked up for Lestat to attack Louis the way he does in the show, without the prior provocation of an attempt on his life? UNDOUBTEDLY. OBVIOUSLY. YES. But him returning to the house and ambushing Louis and Claudia as he does in the book (it’s true Lestat doesn’t touch Claudia himself, but he doesn’t stop Antoine from attacking her) doesn’t exactly make him innocent, either.
Maybe I’m wrong and there’ll be an even BIGGER, even MORE VIOLENT scene after they try to kill him and he comes back in the show, but right now I’m assuming they just rearranged things so that this scene happened earlier. Whether that decision was a good one remains to be seen, and I’ll leave it at that for this post.
But yeah. TL;DR - saying Lestat and Louis have NO extremely violent fights in the book is untrue, though the one time it does happen is supposed to be later in the story. It’s still fucked up. Please be kind to people who don’t want to engage with the subject matter, regardless.

milgram is so complex it eats up my brain
#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚#⋯ ꒰ა milgram ໒꒱ *·˚#i have made many tldrs but ANYWAYS#he just i think needs to outright admit his responsibility in it then BOOM innocent fr#i think innocent might help him w that honestly. being voted guilty first time around and you can see hes being more yeah w#admitting that hes wrong. imo all this time he knew he was wrong (he's always shown regret. i think) even if it may not be obvious#<- still has to listen to drama audios but from the many info i've picked up i think that tracks! correct me if i'm wrong though#'are both sides losers?' and there's more instances where he's questioning his 'innocence' more#tbh it's possible he only fears the consequences. (ty lune also for sharing another idea <3) so that's the thing as well........#super complex. love milgram fr! imo fuuta is one of the most interesting. ngl all of them are really interesting#i REALLY need to check out the drama audios#hopefully it affirms what i believe though#iirc the va said that if you only see the mv you'd think he's guilty. glad that doesn't seem to be what is going on#but also idk if i'm 'glad' about that as well. hmm... fuuta is my favorite fr even if i love haruka and mikoto lots too#it's so complex aghhh milgram ily#i personally don't think he just fears the consequences but it's also actually likely. i don't want my bias to get in the way#'strong sense of justice' right? but would that be out of a want to actually help... or not#<- he and kotoko are similar in that regard i feel. but i do find it unfair that kotoko was innocent bcs she purposely#yk. went out and dirtied her hands. and ofc fuuta is yeah too and i don't know the full of it but he at least shows SOME#regret. even if it may not be out of the good of his heart. then again iirc his character description says hes a coward w a good heart.. hm
