the chandelier glimmered over the heads of the council and the hunter in a myriad of various colors, casting crystalline reflections onto the inset ceiling and ornately papered walls. the shadows cast in the corners of the room flicker in sync with the candles above, claiming their part of the wall then rapidly retreating back into themselves, scampering in terror from the golden light and causing the room to pulsate rhythmically.

it all looks so viscerally alive, the hunter thought as he glanced around, lifting his embellished glass goblet of what looked to be the finest of wine. he’d lift the cup to his lips, feeling the oddly warm and thick liquid run down his throat, leaving in its wake a strange, acidic burning. the wine tastes metallic and tangy, and he runs his tongue delicately over his lips and sighing softly with content listening as the council spoke amongst themselves.

the hunter takes another sip of the piquant liquid but this time the burn is more severe but comforting. he gently places his glass down against the clothed table and his gaze meets his boss’s gaze—his eyes glimmer menacingly beneath the candlelight like shards of black glass, and he smiles softly. eyes closed.

“are you enjoying yourself, choso?” he asks, his tone honey-sweet, with a tinge of seriousness as he raises his glass in his ringed hand, motioning towards choso.

the hunter returns a smile, delicately clinking his glass to the boss’s, and quickly cast his gaze down onto the plushly carpeted floor. the boss hasn’t moved; choso could feel his stare burning into his skin as he awaits a simple peep from his lips.

“what do you want?” the hunter rasps, tugging at the black collar that connected to his suit jacket, folding it outward then running his hands over the crimson red tie that was almost the same color as the thick liquid that sat stiffly in his glass.

“you know what i want,” a smile spreads onto kenjaku’s lips. slowly, his eyes open again revealing those black shards that once again glimmered under the light above the table. “your job is to find the host and kill her. simple as that. it shouldn’t be hard for a skilled curse like yourself, hm? listen; you do this job and i’ll give you a bunch of cash to set you on your way.”

“i don’t care about money. money isn’t my issue here, nor is it my goal.” choso’s eyes narrowed into slits, his violet irises sparkling like a pair of amethysts. the dark rings under his eyes giving those purple orbs a natural glow to them. “where’s the plasma host?”

“so eager,” kenjaku crooned. “the girl resides in the palace under the emperor’s care. you leave tonight. i shouldn’t have to tell you how to do the rest of your job you’ve done this for the while now.”

“right.” choso leaned back in the chair, uncrossing his legs and spreading them a bit as he did and took the embellished glass with him. “i’ll make sure it hurts too.”

“for someone so distant and calm, you definitely have a sadistic streak.” kenjaku chuckled. “you’re maltalent. you’d rather see a young girl fall for your pleasure than for her to survive and live a happy life, hm? your daddy would be so proud of you. are you sure money isn’t your goal, hunter or are you trying to prove something?”

“what would i be trying to prove, father?”

a silence fell over the room. kenjaku smirked and sipped the coccineous drink. smacking his lips, the corners of his mouth twitched upward, forcing a smile. “i’ve went under many names during my lifetime and many hateful ones from you but i never would’ve thought that you’d call me that.”

“answer me.” choso spoke with barred teeth, lowering his brows. kenjaku scoffed. the candles blink collectively, and when they return, it is with less fervor than before—the room is ever so slightly darker, and the revelation is filling each and every person’s veins with an ever-rising sense of harsh seriousness.

suddenly, it’s become hotter also, as if the entire room were ablaze, and the witnesses felt as if they could melt any minute from the smolder of both the hunter and kenjaku’s gazes like a frail wax doll. choso could feel his body start to tingle a bit, a faint buzzing that starts at the bridge of his nose where a black mark—his blood mark rests upon, but soon washes over his entire being like a tsunami, consuming all his sober thoughts.

choso rose up from his seat with trembling hands fueled with anger clashing with his immense cursed energy, hoping to force an answer from kenjaku, but just then the man speaks.

“prove your worth.” kenjaku said with that same sly smile. choso could only narrow his eyes at the other as he stood there with his nails digging into the cloth on the table. “don’t you think you’ve done enough without getting any validation? you just live a constant life of misery and death—its almost pointless for you to live, correct?”

“you imply that my life means nothing unless i’m given orders? do i owe you something? my worth, my freedom? the only thing i owe you…the only thing you deserve is being sent back to jigoku where you belong and returning the torture you’ve forced me to endure back to you.” choso kept his teeth barred and his hands gripping onto the cloth. kenjaku could only laugh, sipping his drink once again.

“so hostile and filled with hate.” the man giggled. “i was only taunting you. playful banter, of course. but this is why you’re perfect for the job i’ve chosen for you. you’re so blinded by your personal motives, that you’ll bend to make sure your desires are fulfilled.”

“i told my brothers i’d side with you,” choso murmured. “the future you painted was more suited for us…but that’s all. but when my job is finished…i’ll kill you.”

“i can’t wait to see the day.” kenjaku hummed. the tension finally simmered down a bit and choso lowered himself slowly back into the seat. “listen to me, hunter. you’re gonna do your job and do it right. if the bitch isn’t dead in a weeks time, i’ll just do it myself and both you and your brothers will perish, got it?”

choso could only glare at kenjaku but he nodded. once again, the hunter rose from his seat and began to head for the double doors that were a few feet away from the long table they sat at, still holding his glass.

“oh and choso,” kenjaku called. “remember to play nice with your target—you don’t wanna scare her, do you?”

“i know what i’m doing.” choso’s deep voice echoed throughout the room as he took his leave.

the hunter’s black dress shoe heels clicked as he exited the dining area, his figure fading into the shadows of the next room over, the double doors slamming dramatically behind him. the wind blew gently through the spiky buns of the hunter’s raven black hair that glistened like leather against the moonlight and the deep mazarine sky. choso sauntered away from the temple, his fingers delicately wrapped around the base of the glass.

“under the emperor’s care, huh?”

shards of glass scattered onto the ground and blood painted the cobblestone walkway just in front of his feet, iron corrupted the air. the hunter glanced behind him, eyeing the shut doors that he recently exited and a deep sigh escaped him before he once again, disappeared into the darkness.

dear vector prime, is there a version of evac from the idw1 continuity? was he a knight of cybertron like live action incarnation?

Dear Evac Evaluator,

No, the Evac of that universe was not a member of the Knights of Cybertron. In fact, he bore a great resemblance to the Evac that I came to know during my time searching for the Cyber Planet Keys alongside Optimus Prime and the Autobots, transforming into a blue and yellow rescue helicopter. He was one of the many who called for reforms and the end of Functionism alongside Megatron and his followers. However, he was disgusted when the planet erupted into war, and ultimately left Cybertron with many of his fellow Cybertronians, under the leadership of Metalhawk. Upon the war’s conclusion, he returned to Cybertron with his fellows, but was among the few who did not support Starscream as leader, as he remembered living as one of the Seeker’s constituents prior to the war. He survived the various crises which befell Cybertron, including the coming of Unicron, and came to settle down on Earth, where he ultimately partnered with the United States Coast Guard as part of a cultural exchange between the United States and Little Cybertron.

I do, however, know of another incarnation of Evac who served as a Cybertronian Knight. A young warrior from a technorganic Cybertron who possessed both helicopter and assault buggy modes, Evac's skill as a swordsman saw him recruited by Knight Commander Ginrai into his elite order of Cybertron's defenders. Noble, idealistic and selfless to a fault, Evac's personality clashed heavily with his fellow recruit, the grim and pragmatic Crosswise… which is why everyone was confused when Alpha Trizer advised that they be partnered together on an ongoing basis. However, the sage's wisdom proved itself as Evac and Crosswise came to appreciate each others' philosophies as complimentary, not opposed; these days, the duo are known as some of the finest combatants in the galaxy, Crosswise's sonic disruptors and Evac's rotor-blade working in concert to bring evildoers everywhere to justice.

Psychology Part 2: Seto Kaiba

This would cover mainly what i observed within myself as someone who grew up with a doctrine equivalent (Sort of because my parents perpetuated the abuse and none of the is dead so it has it differences here) to that of his.

I shall call this part the invisible scars… because i saw how many argued the possibility of Seto Kaiba having scars due to the physical abuse he received… let me assure you that he doesnt… how you may ask? Because rich people whenever they abuse their children they would make sure that the physical scar shows for a long time in the most hidden places of the body but not permanently.

You can clearly note that Seto Kaiba had what looks like a dog’s collar and Gozaburo was carrying a stick? (not sure what to even call it) to torture him with it. However… he would look completely normal when taken to events along with Mokuba… the point is the abuse would hurt so bad… in a mental level. It is meant to torture the child. Make him lose his mind trying to understand why the torture is directed towards said child and while the concept started in his mind the moment he was abandoned it is safe to say that it only accentuated in Gozaburo’s care.

It means that Seto Kaiba as a child was (and i did too) in constant survival mode. Constant physical and emotional suffering perhaps beyond the capacity of understanding of others. He was a ‘father’ to his brother… a protector who took the pain to shield a sibling. A child that mourned his parent’s death. A spiteful kid who saw betrayal at it’s finest and how even the closest relatives can turn against you for a little bit of cash and a helpless little boy being abused in the most twisted ways… so if Seto Kaiba has scars trust that it was in the heart and mind. Never body wise.

PS: please like and comment if you want me to continue… (This is very emotional for me as well Free therapy is guess? I hesitated a lot to post more..) but thank you for reading…

This starts out as a post about one specific Daniel Kitson article, then it goes into a John Oliver article, then it just becomes a post about the crossover between Daniel Kitson and John Oliver. Click the link if you want to read that.

Every once in a while, I’ll come across something on the internet that is so relevant to my interests, it leaves me shocked that I have managed to miss it in my previous scourings of the internet for things that are relevant to my interests. For example: this article, from The Times, London (archived version here).

Sometimes I think I’ve already found all the articles about Daniel Kitson that are on the internet – finding this for the first time today confirms that I hadn’t even found all the articles by Daniel Kitson. Which is a rare thing to find, but not completely impossible, there are a few others. Hadn’t seen this one before, though.

It's from July 2003, and it's Daniel Kitson's "survival guide" to the Edinburgh Festival. At least, it's supposed to be. I assume what happened is The Times asked Daniel Kitson to write a survival guide to the Edinburgh Festival, and because he had not yet become quite as determined as he is today to never let anyone find out he exists, he said yes.

I'm going to go through it a bit at a time, starting from this first paragraph:

HISTORICALLY, survival guides are bastions for lazy thinking, shoddy writing and bad comedy. Articles about Edinburgh in particular abound with advice revolving largely around deep-fried foodstuffs, the hills, the penny black and everything else that is pretty much utterly irrelevant. I obviously consider myself way above such tawdry concerns of the hack and therefore will clumsily attempt to do a little more than telling you to avoid street theatre, of which I enjoy a certain proportion, and criticising students handing out flyers, which I think is a reasonable and vital part of the process of selling a show.

I quoted that one just because I like that last sentence. I haven't been to Edinburgh before, but I have been to a lot of folk festivals, and I've been handed a lot of flyers. So I know it can get annoying, but I don't think it's quite annoying enough to warrant how much people make fun of it, especially given that most people handing out flyers are just struggling artists trying to sell their show. I try to be understanding about anyone trying to sell their show, we wouldn't have an arts industry at all if people couldn't do that. I don't complain when people plug something on a podcast, for example. Hypocritically, I do tend to assume that anyone who has ever unironically said the words "like and subscribe" has never said anything of value in their entire life. But flyers are fine. If someone hands you a flyer, even if you've already had a lot and it's annoying, just be respectful and try to be out of their sight before you conscientiously put it in a recycling bin.

So, before I go father in this post, I should say that possibly one of ways in which I have most taken fandom too far is the folder on my computer called “Kitson and Oliver”. It started last year sometime, when I was first getting into Daniel Kitson, and told @lastweeksshirttonight that I’d keep track of every time Kitson mentioned John Oliver in one of his radio shows, so I could share the bits that are relevant to their interests. It snowballed from there, and now I have quite a comprehensive collection of every time I’ve ever seen or heard or read those two telling stories about each other, or rare instances of them being recorded actually doing things together. So of course, I hoped this article would give me more things to add to that collection. And it delivered by the second paragraph:

My perennial Edinburgh flatmate, John Oliver, and I have a plan to get us through this year’s festival unscathed. In previous years our main mode of escape has been PlayStation football. Controlling tiny sporting men into the early hours is the finest way to end any day. Particularly a day that has been dominated by reading reviews, avoiding people, sitting on the lavatory and performing. It becomes tricky only when the tiny sporting men cease to do your bidding and light begins to spill through the curtains, sparking a frantic rush to get into bed before the impending dawn can go full blown. In both 2001 and 2002 computer football was augmented with supporting struts of insular pleasure. Two years ago when I was in the throes of my first solo Edinburgh show and John was enjoying the relatively stress and inspiration-free environment of a package show, we found comfort in lists. In sticking big sheets of paper and back-to-front posters on the walls of our lurid sitting room — as much to hide the shocking pink that lay beneath as to form a canvas. However, once the paper was fixed in place we wrote lists. The lists could be anything: “People we hate”, “Comedians who are s***”, “People who need to shut up”. There was not a massive amount of generosity of spirit emanating from these tallies. It really helped us, though. Not much is more comforting than getting in after a particularly pointless exercise in crowd control, picking up a felt tip and writing “the audience” under the heading “People who need to shut up”, making your way to the PlayStation, switching it on, picking up a controller and settling in. Last year John and I were both performing solo shows. John had left the nursery pool of the Comedy Zone and was finding the wide open waters of solo performing a little choppy. I, of course, had a bigger boat than John, a boat I wasn’t sure I wanted to be in and a boat whose course I seemed unable to control. The point being that we were s****ing a lot. An awful lot. Once more the PlayStation was unpacked and controllers passed out. Once more the tiny sprinting footballers calmed us. Last year, however, rather than writing lists, we made juice. Watermelon, pineapple, apple, orange, strawberry, any combination you can think of. Getting home after a performance that has made you forget why you ever thought your show was remotely watchable is made so much easier when waiting in the fridge is watermelon and strawberry juice less than three hours old. After pouring a glass and picking up a controller you feel that you may actually be the future of comedy once more.

I would pay too much money for a picture of some of those lists. Though I think I do, actually, have some idea of what might have been on them. If I may take a detour at this point, John Oliver wrote his own article just a few weeks later (archived version here). That's almost a companion to this article, just because they were written so close together, both about their experience of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, circa 2003. Though John Oliver's article focuses a bit more on the comedy than on the video games and strawberry juice.

I'm going to quote a few parts of John Oliver's article, that seem relevant because they discuss overlapping experiences, and/or tell us some things that were presumably on John Oliver's lists called "People who need to shut up":

AS I WRITE THIS, by a sick twist of fate, Jim Davidson is performing standup on BBC One, and the thing that is making me want to throw myself out of the window is that this will be some people’s only experience of stand-up. He’s telling a joke in which an Australian man hits a woman. The audience is laughing. Now he’s saying something casually racist. They’re still laughing. Make it stop, please. Think of the children. I’m at the Edinburgh Festival, sitting in my flat overlooking a building site and some teenagers setting fire to a bicycle. Feel the spirit of the Fringe.

...

The interesting thing this year is not just that lots of “political comedians” are here, but that other comedians are commenting on politics far more. The main reason is the war, and the fact that in times of such party-political apathy, millions have hit the streets in marches ranging from stopping war on people to continuing war on foxes — all over two weekends. And the rise of political comment in stand-up has to be a good thing, right? Well, that depends on how it is being done, and whether it contains the question “Have we got any Americans in?” That perennial comedic question used to trigger off lazy comedy: “Anyone notice how fat Americans are?” “How about their lack of irony?” If you like this kind of thing, that’s fine — except that it isn’t, and you’re an idiot.

...

My favourite political comedy comes from a more whimsical background. Armando Iannucci (The Day Today, Saturday Night Armistice) has always done ridiculous satire better than anyone; The Onion website regularly manages aggressive political comedy dressed up as nonsense (their post-September 11 edition was outstanding), and Andy Zaltzman has developed a great political stand-up that is both true and stupid. There does also seem to be a growth in comedy that is broadly about social politics. Daniel Kitson’s show last year had a lot to say about how awful the world is becoming. David O’Doherty regularly produces outstanding shows with jokes from the heart. His stories appeal to how we live our life and how we view the world. The Dinks this year in Edinburgh are a three-man team of articulate clowns who weave together an elaborate political metaphor while jumping around in weird costumes.

...

But people are attempting to move away from the kind of comedy that changes the words to pop songs to insinuate that Ann Widdecombe is a bit ugly. Attacking the cosmetics is pointless. It’s distracting and it’s lazy. George Bush says stupid things, but the entire system behind him is raping the world. And Jim Davidson is still on my TV. Go and see Rob Newman, Andy Zaltzman, David O’Docherty, The Dinks, and, if you’ve still got time, me. We’ll kick our truth for you people, while trying not to.

John Oliver in 2003, everyone. Telling you exactly what he does and does not like. Also spelling David O'Doherty's name wrong, spelling it the way British people pronounce it, which is not the correct way to spell it or pronounce it. But it's cool that he gave him that respect of going on a list of comedians who have something substantial to say, even if most of his material isn't overtly political. He's done some overtly political stuff in the last ten years or so, but I don't think he had any by 2003. (I've just realized, @lastweeksshirttonight, I'm not sure I've ever sent you that second article before, you should definitely read it, and so should all the other people on the John Oliver side of Tumblr, the whole thing's very interesting).

Okay, back to the Kitson article, that doesn't spend as much time naming the things he hates, but does tell us about writing it on walls with John Oliver.

Sport in general is important to our experience of Edinburgh. Aerobie (flying rings), mini-golf and always, like a calming hand on your shoulder, football. Kick-about matches on the meadows are often hastily convened on days when there is slightly more blue than cloud. People surprise you in these makeshift games, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Generally people are pleasantly surprised by my quick feet and are often let down by John failing to deliver on his flashes of early promise. David O’Doherty, a man with a head seemingly too large for his body, is a phenomenal player, while Danny Bhoy, with a normally proportioned head to torso ratio, has a game that seemingly consists only of pace and ineffective touches of flair. Russell Howard, a great new comedian, is the most naturally gifted footballer I’ve seen but has a propensity to be distracted by food, while Andy Zaltzman remains stoic and determinedly old-fashioned as a defender.

Love this, thank you, Daniel. As I've said before, my favourite type of celebrity gossip in the whole world is gossip about which comedians are best at playing football. So thank you for the scouting report.

Nish Kumar once said that he thinks you can connect everyone's comedy to the way they play football, like how his football playing is inconsistent and he's often on the left wing. Does that apply here? David O'Doherty does have an entire song about having legs that are too short for his body. Danny Bhoy... look, he seems like a nice guy and I think the comedy he does is good for people who like that sort of thing and I don't want to be a dick about this, but I did watch three of his DVDs, and "a game that seemingly consists only of pace and ineffective touches of flair" is not a bad description of that those DVDs were like. Naturally gifted but plagued by the tragic flaw of being too easily distracted is a strong description of Russell Howard's comedic career. And "stoic and determinedly old fashioned" very much describes the style of Andy Zaltzman's obscure and resolutely wordplay-based comedy, if not its content.

While I'm at this, a picture of their lineup that I'm almost sure is from the 2003 Melbourne Comedy Festival, so just a few months before those articles. Look at my favourite type of celebrity gossip:

Actually, now that I look at it, this only features three people who were mentioned in Kitson's article: Danny Bhoy, David O'Doherty, and Kitson himself. Also featuring Dave Gorman, Dan Antopolski, Glenn Wool, Jason Byrne, Adam Hills, Charlie Pickering, and Noel Fielding. A picture that's just always worth throwing in, while I'm documenting 2003.

For the past two years John and I have employed a policy of avoidance (people, parties, agents) and indulgence (computer football, real football, waffles) and it has served us well. This year, however, we are ready for Edinburgh. Not ready in the sense of having a finished show. Not ready in the sense of psychologically prepared for the brief and utterly disproportionate amount of media coverage. But ready in the sense of having tracked down and bought every film we can think of that contains slow-motion sporting triumph over adversity, ideally backed by some manner of stirring music. Edinburgh cannot hurt us now. Negative reviews cannot upset us. Low audience numbers will cause us no concern. Walk-outs will be welcomed. All because the boys in Escape to Victory put up with more than we can ever imagine. It began last year with the stirring Remember the Titans (a film of such perfection that John momentarily forgot about his impending financial loss) and is continued this year with the futile courage of Tin Cup, the once-hip jive talk of White Men Can’t Jump, the documentaries When We Were Kings and Hoop Dreams, both ready to lift us from the depths to the very pinnacle of human courage. Field of Dreams, Chariots of Fire, Rocky, they are all coming to our aid. Like half-forgotten friends returning in the final reel to save the heroes from insurmountable odds. You play sporting footage in slow motion, put music behind it that makes you shiver, and you have a film I will pay money to own.

I love this bit of that article, because it's the first time I've actually seen Daniel Kitson acknowledge a connection I had previously made, that he and John Oliver both talk about how much they love dramatic sports moments set to dramatic music. My Kitson + Oliver folder actually contains a compilation I made a while ago, of Daniel Kitson and John Oliver, in separate stand-up shows, talking about the same phenomenon:

I figured this must mean they'd first come up with this interest together, but I really enjoy seeing Kitson actually tell us the origin of it. That's one of the first things that hugely endeared Daniel Kitson to me, by the way. Fucking right, dramatic sporting moments set to dramatic music are the most emotionally effective things in the world. I love that shit, I've pretty much dedicated my entire life to them.

I've now quoted literally the entire Kitson article besides the last paragraph (though not the entire Oliver article, people should go read that one), so I may as well throw in the ending:

This then is the plan: a juicer, a PlayStation, a football, waffles and paninis, little men doing as they are told, a glass full of juice and a scene of sporting courage ready in the DVD player. Come to me now, Edinburgh, and bring your slings and arrows, your potshots, your misguided ambition and your insularity. Bring it all and do your worst for I am prepared. I am ready.

That is a man who was fucking ready for the raging battle he was going to do with a large plastic cow almost exactly one month later. Going in with that attitude, it's no wonder they did so well.

...You knew that was where this post was going, right? I can't write a post about Daniel Kitson and John Oliver at Edinburgh in 2003 without going back to that stupid fucking cow video.

I find the crossover between Daniel Kitson and John Oliver fascinating (hence the folder). They do such different types of comedy (broadly, Oliver being extremely political and Kitson being extremely personal), but with so many fundamental similarities. Big things, like a similar worldview, full of frustration at individuals and reveling in petty complaints and emphasis on the importance of compassion and obsession with acknowledging everything that happens everywhere and separation between vulgarity and meanness. And smaller, more specific things, like they’ve both got rants against the Santa Claus Day parade and in favour of dramatic music over dramatic sporting events, they’ve both got material about how much they love swearing and about how much they hate people who swear in front of children.

And they both fit into this middle space between nerd and jock that I really like, though that one’s less specific to them and seems to be a defining feature of (almost) the entire Chocolate Milk Gang, which may be one little part of why I like the entire Chocolate Milk Gang so much. I’ve heard Kitson, Oliver, and Zaltzman and O’Doherty all do bits, separately from each other and in different years, about how they were more interested in being professional athletes than professional comedians. Gavin Osborn’s got a whole song about it. Apparently, what I look for in a favourite comedian (or comedy adjacent musician) is it’s nice if they have at least some familiarity with the middle of the Venn diagram between massive nerd and person obsessed with sports.

Most of the stuff in my Kitson + Oliver folder are clips of them talking about each other, because they’ve very rarely actually recorded stuff together. They’ve repeatedly described each other as best friends, but never actually worked with each other, which makes sense as what they did was so different. As far as I can see, there are only a few instances of them being recorded together.

One is when Daniel Kitson featured, playing the role of God (a little on the nose, arguably), in the Zaltzman and Oliver sketch at their reunion gig in Edinburgh 2011:

youtube

Then there's this shit from Daniel Kitson's radio show Trifle, in August 2020:

That clip absolutely killed me when I first heard it. It came from right near the end of the run, so Kitson was already very much in my head. I'd read the spoilers before I'd even started listening to that radio show, so I knew it would turn out to not be real, and still, as I got to the end, I got more and more confused and tried to find answers to more and more questions. "Wait... what the fuck did you... were you ever anywhere? Were you even outside that other time? Was that bird sound real or was that a special effect? Was every moment of it scripted? Have you ever even owned a camper van? Is Tim Key a real person?"

So I'm already totally drawn into that mystery, at the same time Daniel Kitson is hitting some emotional resonance buttons pretty fucking hard, maybe not quite as hard as dramatic sporting moments set to dramatic music, but pretty close. You know, some stuff about things lost during the pandemic, and then things lost during your whole life, things that used to matter to you and are gone now, things you lose track of and are never quite the same even if they come back, and then he hits you with that John Oliver clip, which I believe had me actually saying "Go fuck yourself, Kitson," to my phone. By which I meant absolutely nobody should be allowed to hit you this hard with a supposedly unscripted radio show about nothing. "The thing you miss is the future you once had." Fuck you.

And that bit was scripted, meaning he specifically wrote a script where all his friends call him to say they’re worried about him and want him to come home and stop being stupid, except John Oliver, who calls to say he fully supports his harebrained scheme and thinks he should keep having this spontaneous adventure. And it’s not like Kitson regularly brings in John Oliver on things like this, he specifically brought in John Oliver on that one thing where he needed one character to be the voice of “Just go have an adventure, don’t worry about responsibilities and consequences”. And then you think about how much of Daniel Kitson’s early material was about love for adventure and spontaneously doing things in the middle of the night, and how much of his later comedy is about being sad that life loses adventure as you get old and your friends move away and have families.

Anyway. Anyway. I did not mean for this post to get quite so dramatic. Can I bring the tone to one a bit more lighthearted? Because here's a rare video of Kitson and Oliver together, it hardly counts because you don't even see them, but you can just barely tell they're both there:

Dunking Eugene Mirman in a dunk tank outside a gig at the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival in 2010. The video only shows Mirman falling, but you can hear Kitson's distinctive giggle, and you can hear John Oliver mutter something like "Ooh, that one was...". And if you don't believe me that they were both just on the other side of that camera, here's a picture taken by a camera that was facing them while they threw:

Here's a YouTube video where you can see them both. From the Honourable Men of Art show at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. John Oliver was supposed to be part of that show in person, but about six weeks before the festival started, he informed his friends that he was moving to America to work on The Daily Show, instead of, in the words of Andy Zaltzman, “Coming to Edinburgh to talk to twenty-five people a day in a darkened room.” So they got him on a live video linkup some nights, and here are 22 lovely seconds of it.

youtube

And finally, here is, to the very best of my knowledge, the only other instance of Daniel Kitson and John Oliver doing anything together that got recorded and put out there for the public to find:

I told you it would come back to that. It always comes back that. And it turns out that Daniel Kitson did tell us, going into that festival, that he was ready for anything. He wasn't kidding.

For the favs asks:

03. favorite daedric artifact?

10. favorite hold? (the rift, the pale, etc.)

13. favorite in-game food drink? would you eat / drink it in real life?

03. Favorite daedric artifact?

Oh gosh golly woo that’s a toughie for me. Tbh this may very well be a lame answer but I’ve found that Azura’s star is very useful. I never get the black star though because betraying Azura feels illegal.

10. Favorite hold?

Ngl I love most places in Skyrim, except maybe the swamps surrounding morthal… although admittedly I do enjoy the mystical nature of it from time to time. It’s like melancholic beauty (which tends to be in a lot of places in Skyrim). My most favorite would probably be the rift (which is such a basic answer, sorry!). Although I do always get the Dawnstar homestead and think it’s beautiful how the snow meets with the golden plains of Whiterun.

13. Favorite in-game food/drink?

Cooked goldfish 😍 lol just kidding. A glass of the finest Colovian Brandy with a cooked beef, side of baked potatoes. And with dessert it’s gotta be apple pie and a jug of milk. I don’t necessarily have a favorite food in Skyrim, however I do play on survival mode so I cook/buy a lot of food and find that seared slaughterfish and cooked salmon (that you can buy in the market in solitude/come across a lot of salt and raw fish in riften) is really helpful because you can get a lot of it and it’ll last a while. And of course a couple of vegetable soups too. Although I wouldn’t really like to eat them irl lol.

https://archive.org/details/Simulations1983/mode/2up

If we were able to take as the finest allegory of simulation the Borges tale where the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory (but where the decline of the Empire sees this map become frayed and finally ruined, a few shreds still discernible in the deserts — the metaphysical beauty of this ruined abstraction, bearing witness to an Imperial pride and rotting like a carcass, returning to the substance of the soil, rather as an aging double ends up being confused with the real thing) — then this fable has come full circle for us, and now has nothing but the discrete charm of second- order simulacra. Abstraction today is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or a substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor survives it. Henceforth, it is the map that precedes the territory — PRECESSION OF SIMULACRA— it is the map that engenders the territory and if we were to revive the fable today, it would be the territory whose shreds are slowly rotting across the map. It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges subsist here and there, in the deserts which are no longer those of the Empire, but our own. The desert of the real itself.

41 and 44 for the hard mode oc asks for Tyr :)

>: ) hard mode oc asks! I wrote you another book, but I don't think that'll surprise anyone anymore, lmao.

41. Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

Almost always that he has to work for it. From a young operative who wanted to prove himself based on merits, to the now seasoned operative who's low-key trying to put together what life should be or mean outside of fighting the war, Tyr's always believed in working for things - in both more "positive" and "negative" lights.

While he possibly hasn't admitted it in words to anyone, there's definitely a part of him that seeks some sort of vague sense of atonement for life as Cipher Nine, on his worse days, and simply to do something good for a change with his skills, on his better ones. He's the type that's absolutely liable to run himself into the ground trying to seek this ill-defined and nebulous goal. It's not quite that he makes the final conclusion that he deserves how hard things can be, but he also does very little to rebuke the overall line of thought when he's elbow deep in yet another hairy situation with the house betting against him. Especially when tackling an operation, he lives in the moment - he's likely to grit his teeth, dig in, and put his head down to drive forward into the wind until the job's done because the stakes very rarely favor failure and the Minister didn't raise no quitter lkdfnasldf.

On a slightly (ergh, probably not by much, F) lighter note, I could also boil down one of his gripes with the Sith into this basic format - he's met and had to work around far too many that feel that deserve and sense of entitlement simply for what they are. And at his most vehement on that almost life-long developed grudge, he truly believes the Empire as it is isn't worth fighting for because it will never admit to that much change. The new Dark Council can wear whatever veneer of pleasantness they want, he'll still always see the governing body that was eager to kill him for the audacity to do his job to protect the Empire (y'know, that place where they all lived, together even!).

44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say "I love you?" Can they say it without meaning it?

Not to entirely rehash the small book I may have written in your dms (I am so sorry x,D), but Tyr as Cipher Nine survives on adaptability. 'Nine' is as much a cover or mask to be worn and traded out as 'the Red Blade' or the nameless, reckless scourge of Belsavis that dared to test the Republic's finest security measures. Who 'Nine' is depends on what he needs to achieve goals. He might be almost cocky and overconfident to sell a ruse on Tatooine, or he may absolutely tell a target or the associate of one something like "I love you," if it furthers the goals of the mission. So, short answer, not difficult enough that it stops him and he's absolutely said it without meaning it.

It is not something he'd ever say to Theron without meaning every last word. It probably surprised him how easy it was to say and mean it when he first fell for Theron. It's something I have purposefully robbed him of ever getting to say, explicitly, to Shara. Tyr will say whatever gets the job done most effectively, whatever he needs to say as Nine, but Tyr, given an opportunity, won't say what he doesn't mean.

But Dot! What about our theoretical scenario where he doesn't tell Theron where the hell he's going!!?? And it goes, predictably, wrong (and he knew it could or would, that bastard)??!! I hear you ask!! That's, unfortunately, where Tyr very rarely being able to completely disconnect from 'Nine' steps in and makes everything a big, complicated mess just like the rest of his life akdfnldsaf. 'Nine' in the Alliance era, especially as Commander, is sort of a framework protocol to tackle who he needs to be as 'Commander of the Alliance.' It's been an increasingly rare occasion, probably since the incident with the Dominators and confronting Jadus, where there isn't some sort of overlap between who Tyr needs to be for his work and who he is as his own values and goals. Which still leaves us with a Tyr who would, as much as it kills me and I want to smack him with a pool noodle over the head about it, pull off something like the Nathema arc given the chance because Tyr will fight tooth and nail for the few people that have come to mean everything to him. If that means Nine gets the job done by whatever means necessary, then so be it. That's the price he'll pay for being the Cipher that outlived Imperial Intelligence.

I remember sitting through Chapter 1 on my most recent replay and thinking, damn, these are his choices. 'Nine' was a tool that offered him authority to act on his own ideals, when appropriate - take out a terror cell while still trying, where it won't compromise the mission, to minimize Imperial causalities, let a scared contact run and try to start over (because you never will), etc. Chapter 2's interesting to think of through this lens because both sides are, in essence, asking him to 'play' the part of Cipher Nine - so he does. And there's also... everything else in that Chapter that makes picking apart his desires from the mission's so, so complex.

At the end of the day, Tyr as Nine will still make compromises, get the blood on his own hands, if it's for the cause he believes in. If one less person has to go through it because he was able to stand his ground, that's worth it. And that's how we ended up with Tyr as Legate, double agent for the Republic SIS.

Trauma truly happens in your favor, never for your failure.

Learning how to do the healing work to unfreeze repressed feelings and process through the stored pain of your ancient wounds will absolutely unleash your most special powers, grandest gifts and wisest self. This profound practice to purify your Heartset is also a sovereign act of self-love. Because you’re making yourself into a healthier, happier and freer human.

Unlocking and displacing past trauma isn’t a pastime for the weak. It sure isn’t flaky, irrelevant and a waste of time. Actually, it’s the pursuit of wise warriors. And genuine world-builders. Doing this healing is the finest way to ensure the rest of your life is successful and joyful and peaceful.

Dealing with your buried hurts and dissolving your suppressed emotions is so very practical and spectacularly relevant to a world-class life that soars, serves and knows its highest strength. This is the work that will magnify your prosperity, maximize performance and amplify your optimism. It really will, even if it seems like it won’t.

Deep emotional clearing practice will make you far more creative, because trauma deforms the brain and working through your ancient wounding optimizes your cognition. Interesting, right? The stress of difficult events pushed down into your subconscious causes major perceptive blocks, stunts the full release of neurotransmitters (such as dopamine and serotonin) that are essential to peak artistry, and actually reduces the ideal connection between the right and left hemispheres of your brain. Release the past pain, anger, sadness, guilt, shame and regret that you’ve been carrying like an albatross around your neck and you’ll begin to awaken the possibility that was previously hidden from your view.

Heartset healing will also guarantee that you unleash your fullest vitality. Holding on to trauma consumes a great deal of energy and natural inspiration. One of the results of ignoring what I call “accumulated scarring” is that you pretty much live in a state of limbic hijack, when the survival brain of the limbic system monopolizes your thinking and puts you into “fight, flight or freeze” mode. You lose the ability to rationally manage any threat (real or perceived) as your prefrontal cortex (the seat of higher thinking) is taken over by the amygdala, the less evolved and more primitive part of your brain.

Stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol are released and emotions such as fear, anxiety and anger are ignited. Note that the more severe the wounding of the past, the more intense will be the present-day response when an old wound is activated. You can always tell the size of your trauma (or someone else’s) by the degree of the overreaction. If it’s hysterical, it’s historical.

The spouse who rages over spilled milk has regressed to an earlier age and is living out the smothered pain of the past. The boss who abuses employees and sabotages business associates is simply revealing the weight of their own baggage. The motorist who stops their car and threatens a fistfight because they think you cut them off is being driven by the Field of Hurt I mentioned earlier, made up of all the invisible collected trauma they allowed to remain at their core.

I once sat next to a senior executive on an airplane who asked me to move from my assigned seat because he said he preferred it. When I said I’d like to stay where I was, he began kicking my briefcase. And promised he’d “take care of me” when we landed. Such is the result of failing to work through and let go of emotional injury. Healing your Heartset wounds will ensure that you no longer lash out at people who did not mistreat you. And bleed on people who did not cut you.

Working through your micro-trauma and any macro-trauma will also increase the quality of your health beautifully. Trauma and the daily stress response it hardwires into your system make crisis-oriented living your default, which in turn reduces your immunity and increases inflammation, making you more susceptible to life-threatening conditions such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer. Process through your emotional pain and you restructure the architecture of your Heartset to produce less toxicity and more of the wonderful neurochemistry that will improve your physicality. And extend your longevity.

As you optimize your emotional life, you’ll see a clear elevation of your happiness, gratefulness and capacity to feel versus intellectualize the miracles of life. Trauma causes a human being to disassociate from their body and run their days as an intellectual machine. Before I started doing this healing work myself, I’d think about the spectacle of a sunrise and reason about the gorgeousness of a piece of art rather than feel it—and inhabit it. Re-engaging your Heartset and reactivating your feelings, I promise you, is a completely different way of existing.

You begin to use your mind for those pursuits that the mind is good for. And you open your heart and fully experience the pleasure of everything else in your life.

What I’m really suggesting is that frozen trauma causes a human being to shut down intimacy with their emotional aliveness and retreat inside their head. This is done out of protection. We flee from our feelings as a trauma response because we don’t wish to relive old pain when it is freshly triggered by a current event.

So we set up a series of escapes and detours designed to avoid our emotions, such as overwork or drugs or too much alcohol. Or online addictions and social media distractions. We begin to live our lives as attention seekers versus magic workers. And we wonder why we never feel the intense happiness we hear is part of the human path.

Many people, on encountering difficulty or tragedy, end up with PTS (Post-Traumatic Stress). Yet if we exercise our wisdom and make difficult choices, each of us has the ability to exploit setbacks for the benefit of personal transformation. Struggle can actually be used for PTG: Post-Traumatic Growth. Just look at the greatest men and women of the world. The Nelson Mandelas and the Mother Teresas and the Mahatma Gandhis and the MLKs. Each of these advanced souls had one thing in common: they suffered far more than what is ordinary, but rather than allowing the hardship to tear them apart, they leveraged it to remake them. To build them up. To remember their highest moral virtue and their greatest spiritual merits. To convert devastating pain into unusual power.
