my media white whale remains the polskie radio broadcast from wednesday april 18th 1934 where stefania delivered a lecture entitled "[the] dangerous liaisons of literature & film" & she discussed bruno schulz's cinematic prose, lost forever because the nazis destroyed it
This Is What They* Took From Us
*the nazis when they torched the prewar polskie radio archives

favorite details from the old old 2020 first draft of liaison:
- dante never attends the academy like he's just a farm boy
- quinn and caspian both thinking dante is hot and telling enzo that right to his face
- dante's name randomly becoming noah for two lines. who the fuck is noah?
- someone sending caspian an anonymous letter basically telling him to kill himself and alistair's like "well? did you deserve it?"
- the courier getting bored of dante talking and interrupting him
- dante telling caspian to fuck off?
- enzo calling alistair stupid
- implications that enzo wants to fuck caspian that are interrupted by dante because he asks a question that was posed like two minutes ago in caspian's story
- tavares is a pretty boy

Hey just wanted to say thanks for the follow earlier! I was shocked to find another 25+ TF2 fan on here ^^ sorry I like to stay on anon till I’m more comfortable but, I must say this blog looks very interesting!! Love the idea of adding new folks and I can’t wait to see more about Retriever and Assassin (sorry if I got that wrong, lol) Plus it’s nice to see some new folks on the block for the TF2 community :) (btw love the art!!! It’s so pretty 😍)

Aaaa~ Thanks so much! And yeah, I'm a little late to the game (literally, haha!) I used to see the animations and memes all over my feeds, but my brain actually latched on earlier this year!
And I plan to share more of em, the problem is balancing work and this (plus I'm about to be moving apartments, whew...) But I've wanted to share the two OCs I've developed (and likely the few NPC OCs I'll make knowing me) for a while outside my friend group on discord, so I'm excited!!

@tarnishedxknight - continued from here
You foolish, foolish elleth.
Oh, how selfish was she to wish him to stay. To stay with her. He was the Knight Captain of Dalmasca. His duties could not be ignored or set aside, even if for a brief time. He was not even of her kingdom, and she was there to aid in a time of war. It was his duty to fight, as was her duty to make sure the bloodshed did not extend to the borders of Middle-earth. Her feelings did not matter, she knew, and... yet...
In truth, Faegalad had thought herself broken. That she was incapable of loving another, regardless of how many times she attempted to kindle that spark. And... it bothered her more than she cared to admit.
But, Basch had changed that. She had not been expecting it nor had she been searching, but... falling for him had been natural. Had felt right. Even if her heart had taken affection for an Edan. Someone she... knew she may not be able to have then, and let alone someone who could sail with her into the Undying Lands. One who... she would only share a finite amount of time with.
That risk, in her mind, would have been worth it, if Basch was not of a differing kingdom - separated by great distance in both land and sea. She could not leave her kingdom, but nor could he. They had obligations and loyalties sworn to their people, and ones that could not be broken. She was a fool to even entertain the fantasy that things could ever be different. That their paths were not meant to be separate, regardless of what their hearts desired.
Though, to hear he had so willingly volunteered to go to Nabradia... had stirred an unfamiliar panic. His selflessness and willingness to fight to protect his kingdom and people were traits she admired, so she could expect no different an outcome, but... it still scared her. Because it brought her closer to losing him. His mortality would one day take him from her, regardless of how or when or why, yet... a small part of her wanted to cling to the childish hope they could have time together. Somehow, even if after the war. And for him to go to the frontlines of it all...
Faegalad was forced then to acknowledge the truth. The pain of her affections. It was then, she knew, she may have no other chance to tell him, even if she could not sway his mind. And it was then, she also knew, he may not even feel the same. That she would make herself a fool to him if her affections were unrequited.
And, oh, how his admission should have been a joyous thing to hear. That he loved her just the same. But the reality of it was not so easily dismissed, and she only felt her heart ache something terrible as he spoke of her smile, and of his fellow kingdom. She could not fault him for that. Not when she had been so willing to venture to and remain there in Dalmasca to do what she could to help - to send request for aid to her own kingdom at a moment's notice. To satisfy the itch to go and fight in a war that had yet spread to her own kingdom.
"The rest of the day," Faegalad echoed quietly. A bittersweet knowledge that she was unsure how to take. But... one she wanted to take, nonetheless. If it meant even getting a small amount of time with Basch, to pretend even if just for a few hours that they could have something together, it would be well worth it. Their fates would not be permanently twined, even with the Valar smiling upon them, and... despite the pain and fear it brought, it was something she was willing to bear.
"I... would like that." She offered a small smile - doing her best to ignore the ache in her heart. "To spend any time with you, I will take." Even despite her mind already telling her she should have held her tongue. Even despite her heart growing heavier than she felt she could bear. "I... apologize for my timing."

yesterday I was obviously v confused in the hospital because they kept telling me to get back into bed stop leaving my room and kept confusing nurses and doctors for people I knew and telling them stuff that was unrelated like I barely knew where I was (I also only remember fragmentary details). when I was discharged I literally couldn’t understand what was going on so I think I was told multiple times until finally the nurse shouted at me to leave. I don’t remember how I got home, I don’t remember what time it was. I know I must have walked. I just remember coming to at around 8.30-9pm and being in my bedroom and not even knowing if I had been to hospital or not I literally couldn’t remember. I was still feeling v confused at this point. anyway I left my phone at the hospital and now I may have to buy a new one bc g-d knows there’s a low chance of me getting that back and what’s worse is I don’t have cloud photos on so I just lost hundreds of photos that are really precious to me so 👍
