[sneez]

more of my oc tervis (any pronouns), the creepiest most miserable little weirdo in town. which is saying something [id under cut]

/ ID: four digital drawings.

The first image is a series of drawings of Tervis on a paper-textured background. A heading at the top reads 'Tervis (Humble)'. One is a coloured headshot of Tervis looking to the left; they have a gaunt face, short receding hair, a scar bisecting their lip and right eyebrow, greyish skin, and are wearing a red shawl around their neck. An arrow pointing at their right eye reads 'one blue eye (mostly blind)'; another arrow pointing at their left eye reads 'one brown eye'. They have a serious, hostile expression. The second drawing is an uncoloured full-body sketch of Tervis. Next to this is the same drawing but coloured and with more polished lineart. Tervis is a thin, hunched figure wearing a long, dark brown robe, a greyish bag on their back, and a red shawl around their head and neck. They are barefoot, and are leaning on a walking staff with both hands. An arrow pointing to the walking staff reads 'needed for walking, useful for hitting'. Tied to the belt around their waist are several long scrolls of paper with writing on them. An arrow pointing to the scrolls reads ''blessings' they paste on infected houses'. Tervis is looking warily out at the viewer from beneath their eyebrows. An arrow pointing to their head reads 'scar from getting hit in the face with a brick (also knocked out a tooth)'. Alongside these drawings are a series of bullet points giving information about Tervis. These read:

   indeterminate age, indeterminate gender

   religious fanatic (unclear which religion)

   lives alone somewhere in the steppe

   dislikes everyone but is nicer to children than anyone else

   has every disease

The second image is a fake screenshot from the video game Pathologic. Tervis is looking out at the viewer; the background shows scenery from the steppe. The text on screen reads:

CHANGELING: I still don’t see what you could have done that would make you personally responsible for this plague. TERVIS: Responsible… no, not merely responsible! This is my plague, cast upon my head alone. I am the originator; my sin is at the root of all. I have ventured into the town. I have seen the canker there. No matter how many houses I bless, my sickness sinks deeper. The rotted limb is the death of the body… Surely you understand me. You are a healer, are you not? CHANGELING: What is it that you are asking me to do? TERVIS: Let me be the lamb, worker of miracles! My blood shall wet the earth, and bright flowers shall grow… My putrefaction will provide the soil within which new life will burgeon, pure and free of sin and decay. Let it be done. I am ready. My failing flesh is but little sacrifice; in death my weakness will be my strength. Soon these torments will be at an end.

Below are two dialogue options:

You’re insane!

What makes you so sure your death would solve anything?

The third image is a fake screenshot from the video game Pathologic 2. Tervis is looking out at the viewer, and has been painted in semi-realistic style. The text on screen reads:

Tervis: Why do you force me to live? Damn you! Your cure is poison to me. Now I shall never be blessed. You should have left me to bleed.

Below are three dialogue options:

Don’t be absurd. I wasn’t going to watch you die.

What makes you think you deserve suffering?

I wish I had.

At the bottom of the image is a line of dialogue which Tervis has just spoken:

The air is foul. There is rot in this place. The stench of corruption shall be – what was it? What was it? The stench of corruption shall be… swept aside…

The fourth image is a coloured scene depicting Tervis and Clara. They are central in the composition; around them is the steppe, which has been rendered in a loose, painterly style. Tervis is kneeling, their walking staff cast aside, and are reaching out their hands to Clara in a desperate, pleading gesture. They are crying, their face contorted in an expression of agonised ecstasy. Clara stands beside them, one hand reaching out, the other held above Tervis’s head as though about to touch their brow. She has a solemn, pained expression. Behind her head, a break in the dark clouds gives the impression that she is haloed by sunlight; rays of the same light fall onto Tervis, illuminating their face and red robe. End ID. /

#artwork #pathologic #tervis!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D #sorry i know ive already posted that fake p2 screenshot i just wanted to keep all my tervis images in one place. please forgive me #i am having. So Much Fun. i would explode and die for tervis shes the worst i adore her #making fake screenshots is so enjoyable i love trying to match the fonts and copying all the little ui details it's so fun highly recommend #i have a lot of tervis lore which i am still developing but hopefully these drawings give you some idea of his character #hes just a mess really. hes got every imaginable problem #that last drawing is her getting sacrificed in the humble ending. she is SO happy about it #also if you didnt see my last post tervis was originally a warhammer 40k oc (which he still is ive just made a bonus pathologic tervis now) #but ive tried to keep a lot of 40k stuff in her design like the blessing scrolls and the uh. Posture #that's also my reasoning for why nobody knows what his religion is. the watsonian explanation is they are just spouting incomprehensible #disjointed passages from some obscure scripture which nobody can identify (and who would want to try really. tervis is not good company) #but the doylist explanation is that it's literally just the cult mechanicus. just ignore all the references to the weakness of the flesh and #the glory of the machine it will all be fine nothing weird here at all #anyway :-) i could talk about tervis forever but i will stop now #i hope you are all well my dear friends! i am on holiday now wahoo #i am also aware that i have several messages to answer which i will do very soon i am so sorry for being so slow as usual #i love you all i am giving you individual kisses on your individual heads. mwah

My dear followers and mutuals!

As I drove back home after the holidays yesterday, I was thinking about New Year's Resolutions and the "fun resolutions" post that's been going around for a while, and I decided:

I don't listen to enough music.

So I'm going to listen to (at least) one full album a week for the rest of the year.

Thus, I have a favour to ask:

If you would like to, please recommend me an album (or two) that you love!

I will add it to my list and listen to it when the time comes!

I am very open to different genres and eras, so anything goes!

#i am compiling a list and am happy to share it when the recommendations stop #and i'll tag stuff about this #2024 album challenge #i'm not sure whether I'll do album-by-album reactions on here or if that will feel too much like homework #and discourage me from actually listening to them in the first place #but I'll definitely put the list of recommendations here and give occasional updates of ones that I really like #op

I'm on my S1 OFMD rewatch before I dive back into S2, and I'm only now realizing something.

So, we can pretty much all agree that Ed's transformation into the Kraken by the end of Episode 10 (and leading into 2x01) is an intense one, especially considering he's only known Stede for a few weeks. (I know the descent into detached violence is primarily egged on by Izzy, but for all intents and purposes, the pivotal trigger is Stede leaving Ed.)

Here's the thing though. Ed's depression and subsequent spiral into the Kraken isn't just about Stede the person. It's about all the things Stede represents.

Sure, Ed's fallen hard for Stede. And for any of us who have gone through a particularly hard-hitting breakup (or been ghosted by someone we really liked), we can easily understand the deep heartache. But there's so much more to it than just Ed's feelings for him.

When we first meet Ed in Episode 4, he's already at wit's end. He's fed up with life and searching for a new purpose. He's already reached legendary status as Blackbeard, so of course the question is: what's next? He even toys with the idea of dying ("Haven't done that before, have I?"), and actively acknowledges that his physical presence on a ship has become obsolete. Just the name and flag alone instil the fear of God into other sailors/pirates. And at this point in Season 1, it doesn't even seem like Ed's super keen on pillaging and plundering, except for when he and his crew get to go into teaching mode when they're showing Stede's crew how to raid. But even that scene goes to show that he only enjoys it when there's some larger purpose at play.

Ed wants to be known for more than the reputation that's currently out in the world. ("Is this what they think I look like? Fucking viking vampire clown with.... nine guns all over him?" & "I'm a ghost. There's no chaos, there's no drama, there's no fuckin' life!")

He's itching to be more than this. He doesn't want to be a ghost, or the "shell of a man" that Izzy later accuses him of being.

And Stede—Stede is the person who sees something more in him. Who allows him to be softer and sillier. A human; not the larger-than-life Mad Devil Pyrate Blackbeard. Ed feels seen, perhaps for the first time in his life. And he proceeds to spend a glorious, genuinely happy few weeks with Stede.

So then cut to 1x10 when Ed's staring into the flame of the candle, eating marmalade in his blanket fort and crying while wrapped in Stede's robe. He sees everything he's lost. He was on the cusp of something new, a chance to break free from the Blackbeard persona - but it was ripped away in an instant, ripped away before he even had a real chance to explore this path.

He desperately wanted to distance himself from Blackbeard, from the Kraken, and thought Stede was his ticket to this happier future. One filled with excitement (and warmth, and good food, and possibly even orgasms). Ed told Stede that the last few weeks were the most fun he'd had in ages, years, maybe ever. And now it's all gone; and he's mourning the loss of that hope.

Where does he go from here?

#thankfully we know the answer #and it's to a GOOD HAPPY PLACE WITH STEDE BY HIS SIDE #s2 is really recontextualizing a lot of s1 for me #I highly recommend a rewatch of the whole series #ofmd meta #our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd season 1 #edward teach #blackbeard #ed teach #ofmd #ofmd thoughts #ofmd analysis

I think the invader zim fandom had the right idea in the tags it used because it literally separated romance dynamics and friendship dynamics. Like for examples: ZADR means it's zim and dib romance. Easy to block and quick way to know the intensions of a piece. Then you have ZADF which is Zim and Dib Friendship. Fantasic, emmaculate, makes things 10x easier for me. But it doesn't stop there because then you have ZADE which is Zim and Dib Enemies. LIKE NO OTHER FANDOM USES TAGS LIKE THIS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIG BRAIN CAPACITY OF THIS KIND OF TAGGING IN FANDOM? Super easy to understand the intent of the art, makes it easy to avoid what you don't want to see, and allows you to easily search for what you do want to see.

Idk in a time where people don't exactly tag other relationships and will sometimes not tag shipping either it's just nice to look back on the IZ fandom and see such a robust tagging system used by basically the entire fandom.

#text #yes tumblr started recommending me IZ posts and im happy with how easily the fandom works are to navigate #as a romance averse aroace it is a breath of fresh air #this tagging was in place way back during the shows run too iirc #so im glad it never changed :) #anyways i want to watch IZ again lol. #that show was unhinged

When I think about Kacchan dying all alone without the people he loves most around to be with him or emotionally support him I want to throw up. This is the most traumatic and heartbreaking death I’ve ever gone through in a fiction. Even if he comes back from this, I’m never going to be the same. I am changed…

#more of my tears translated to words #bakudeku #Bnha 362 #I swear I want to get over this but my brain won’t let me #😭 #let’s talk about something happy in the tags #I’ve been watching black butler lately and I’m really into it #ciel/Sebastian dynamic can be so aromantic in a way #they’re very sweet #he’s so gentle with him #actually… am I jealous??? probably lol #but yeah they’re cute I recommend the show #I’m watching it in the manga intended watch order bc I heard the anime was all over the place #hopefully that works out #okay be strong everyone! #kana writes

I love the concept of a champagne lounge its like what if a place was cool

#if ur in the denver area i highly highly highly recommend corridor 44 its cheap if you go for happy hour #one of my favorite places on earth !

[television-overload]

just started watching txf (on s1e6 or e7 i believe?) and i'm already so jazzed about it!! anyway 36 for the ask game :)

So exciting! You're in for a treat. Season 2 is sooooo good, and obviously they're already absolutely insane in season 1. I was watching entire seasons in 2 days sometimes a year ago when I first watched it (not healthy 😅). There's a reason I waited until I graduated to start the show. I knew it would suck me in hard-core.

My fic will definitely have spoilers for later seasons, but here's a spoiler-free snippet from section 36!

Mulder has been a saint ever since they got here—ever since they began this process, really.

Send me an ask with a random number between 1 and 40 and I'll give you a sentence from that section on my MSR adoption fic document

#the rate at which i consumed x files fanfic after finishing the series was astronomical #happy to point you in the direction of x files fanfic resources when the time comes #in a 30 year span the fans have amassed quite a volume of fanfic and there are so many places to find it! #and a lot of great fic rec lists out there or blogs i suggest you follow #word of caution: stuff won't really be tagged as spoilers bc it's such an old show #so be careful on tumblr especially because the lovely gifsets will get you #i recommend muting some terms like character names and then the standard “txf” “msr” (mulder-scully romance) and “x files” #txf #msr #x files #askbox #msr adoption fic #msr adoption fic ask game

Read -> Reading -> To-Read

An inside look at what's on librarian Beth's shelf lately:

Read: Happy Place by Emily Henry

I'm at the point that Emily Henry is on my list of to-read anytime she has a new book come out! Full of sweet and hilarious scenarios, her books are must-reads for those enjoying a quirky romance with lots of feels. Happy Place did not let me down!

Reading: The Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan

I just started this one which was recommended to me by a co-worker and is set in Tipperary, Ireland, so clearly it belonged on my TBR list!

To Read: I Swear Politics is Messier than my Minivan by Katie Porter

I don't know anything about Representative Katie Porter but the title got me. As a minivan driver and someone who tries to be civically-minded, this seems like it will be a humorous but realistic look at what goes on in Congress by someone who is "one of us."

So one of my ex’s who was a republican when we broke up a super long time ago and ceased contacting each other now goes by it/it’s and is nonbinary openly. 👀

#I love how it’s like everyone I date either becomes not cis or their closest partner does or is questioning for both or either #I have a t4t track record at this point #I was tempted to message it but I don’t want to seem like a creep yknow??? #also it ghosted & lied to me all #those years ago too but ppl change and I wouldn’t go in wanting a relationship like we had or even something close I guess I’d just wanna #say hi and hope things are going good??? #instagram recommends old contacts sometimes it’s really weird actually but yeah idk I just don’t wanna come off as creepy #I’m happy for it though if it’s in a better place yknow? #mine #op

Fanfic recommendation

DARKNESS WITHIN THE SUN by Tinker_Tomato

Felix finds himself feeling sick for several days unknown to the the big storm approaching his life, he neglects his illness as casual flu and goes on with his idol work, until one eventful Christmas eve when all of the stray kids are suppose to sit near their Christmas tree and exchange gift laugh and enjoy, instead they are wheeling their lovely freckled member to the emergency room of hospital.

I swear im not crying, you are...

If u want hurt or comfort, this is your story. It's filled with all the feels and m totally here for it. I needed something like this totally unreasonable, both fluffy n sad n yooo this, was it. I had no idea i loved Chanlix that much. I swear my favourite ship is Hyunho or Minchan, but this!!!!!
