hey guys, reminder that even if kosas makes it out of senate, it still has to go through the house and on top of that it must also go through another change in order for both house and senate to agree, then the president has to sign. all hope is not lost yet. kill the bill.

After a while all the Mechanisms forget who they were before. For many of them, all they have left are their songs, and none of them can remember how much is truth and how much is simply a story.
Tim only has the vaguest hints of memories of what it felt like to spend time with Bertie, a gentle hand brushing his hair from his face, a flutter inside his chest, but he can't even remember what Bertie looked like anymore.
Jonny can't remember what his father was like any more, though he is certain he killed him. While he remembers pulling the trigger in a flash of devastated rage, he can't remember where the bullet ended up. Did Jack ever exist? Or was he a representation of multiple people, or was the killing of Jack simply an expression of the themes of the story? Or maybe he can't face the truth of what really happened. Jonny claims One Eyed Jacks tells us how he got his mechanical heart but it doesn't, not really. Maybe there never was anyone else in the room with him and he shot himself, right through the heart, in a fit of maddened guilt and grief.
Brian will never ever forget the endless black and the terrible cold seeping deep into his bones, though he has long since forgotten what his own face used to look like.
Ashes knows their song must be dramatised since the song claims that their skin burned, but only their lungs were mechanised, so they must have died simply of smoke inhalation. They can also no longer remember if they really were a level-headed detective as they were in the song, or if they simply died in an arson attack gone wrong, and destroyed their whole world, along with everyone they ever cared about, over a mistake.
Raphaella has no song to hang onto, no story to tell, and her past is long since forgotten. Though the stench of the city feels far too familiar, and she flinches when the name Icarus is spoken, though she could not tell you why.

some viktors in czech and polish folk costume and a less specific miscellany from the past few months :-) i have to draw very very small with this pen which feels appropriate for him
[id: two pages of digital drawings done with a fine pixel brush. the first image is a series of coloured drawings of viktor standing in a variety of costumes. common articles across the outfits are puffy white shirts, colourful breeches, embroidered waistcoats, and decorative flowers. in each drawing viktor is smiling and leaning on his cane. the second image is a selection of drawings of viktor standing and sitting in various poses, looking generally cheerful. in one he is sitting next to barbie, who is smiling at him. the text beside it reads ‘Barbie (they are friends)’. end id.]

So my brain is having many thoughts- you get to receive them now
In every story there’s a villain and a hero.
The villain always has a reason behind their actions. They don’t just turn evil for no reason. This story just happens to have 3 different reasons for one person.
Uncontrollability
Revenge
Realisations
Our villain didn’t understand. Then they found them set back with revenge. Now they know it’s what they had to do all along
Why bother trying to fix everything when you were meant to do the opposite?
The hero in this story only did what he had to in order to fix their wrongdoings. Our hero focuses too much on others and not enough on himself.
Our hero was their brother.
In this story, the hero and villain were brothers.
Some referred to them as Icarus and Rae Morningstar.

I know I've already thrown my hat into the ring many times already, but if I may again - I think Icarus and Ulysses would be funny together. I don't necessarily think they'd be romantically together - or even really platonically - I just think they hang out, are best buds and very good friends because medical potion stuff, and maybe they kiss and make out about it sometimes. who's to say. (the hypothetical of ven dating both of them makes this significantly funnier - he just watches these two do what ever they're doing and cheers them on from the sidelines)
