I’m an 07’er. But your blog makes me nostalgic but your PROFILE PICTURE. That book has never left me. In a bad way. It traumatized me, so badly… idk if you’ve ever read these 2 but the “Teacher from the black lagoon” series and the book” Chrysanthemum”, are like core traumatic events for me
Yuuup, you are not the first to tell me that Stripes traumatized you. It was kind of like Baby's First Body Horror book lol.
As for the other two though, they look VERY familiar. I think I saw em on bookshelves but I don't think I ever read them.

Anyone else who read these books get traumatized by em?

Ghoul Squad: Upgraded
Hey, everyone! Sparky, here. I'm happy to announce that Ghoul Squad is getting a reboot. Some stuff will still be the same.
Alya = Mummy
Alix = Werewolf
Rose = Frankenstein
Juleka = Vampire
Mylene = Phantom of the Opera.
However, Marinette will not be a normal witch and Kagami is not a ghost. Here's the new additions to the squad.
Marinette = Grim Reaper
Chloe = Wicked Witch (Though she is on the side of good)
Sabrina = Invisible Woman
Lila = Demon
Kagami = Headless Horsewoman
Ondine = Creature from the Black Lagoon!
Lila and Chloe are good guys like everyone else, and we still have the teachers (and Giselle as the witches) and Adrien still becomes a Halloween themed hero albeit a Scarecrow. However this time, more boys are helping the Ghoul Squad.
Marc = Gargoyle/Human Hybrid
Ivan = King Kong/Human Hybrid
Kim = Godzilla/Human Hybrid
Max = Martian
Nathaniel = Mothra/Human Hybrid
Nino = Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde Hybrid
Jesse = Son of La Llorona
Stay tuned for more details! @artzychic27 @msweebyness

good luck rituals (old and new)
(My prompt for this years RSCandyHearts by @goodboylupin was "superstar". While I'm not sure if this is what the box of candy hearts had in mind when it was chosen, this is what I came up with and I immensely enjoyed writing it. For those of you who are unfamiliar, here is short YT clip of the "superstar" reference...
otherwise.
enjoy
xoxo)
-
Remus’s back was pressed firmly against the cool brick of backstage as he listened to the stand-up comic start to wrap up their set. Ending their ten-minute slot with a joke about travel size snacks, that was yielding little response from the audience. Though, Remus wasn’t sure if it was the material (well, not entirely sure) or the lack of audience, having refused to peek around the corner of the wings to look out into the eyes of strangers. Instead, he kept his eyes closed, and he took a breath to try to calm his nerves and the heartbeat he could feel in his fingertips. Trying to remember this is what he had been working for and dreaming about.
All the time spent busking on street corners.
Working a stupid office job making photocopies and answering phones despite how often his voice cracked.
All the time spent practicing in tiny apartments and recording on his ancient computer in coat closets to avoid upsetting his neighbors with the dulcet sounds of improvisational jazz on an alto saxophone.
Time and energy and he had finally landed himself a slot at the Black Lagoon Lounge.
Well.
An unofficial slot on a night reserved for amateurs, that was unpaid, but he had auditioned and one someone over. He was talented enough to be standing backstage, waiting for his name to be announced by the host; for the lights to dim.
Waiting for his own ten minutes in the spotlight.
He was sweating already, thin turtleneck sticking to his skin as he exhaled through his mouth before he put his saxophone down on the piano bench backstage, hearing his old music teachers voices in the back of his mind screaming bloody murder as he did so.
You’ve been nervous before, Lupin. You’ll be nervous again, and you can still do this.
He swallowed and tilted his head back to stair up at the rafters. A mess of narrow catwalks and railings.
“I can do this,” Remus whispered to himself before placing his hands underneath his armpits, fingers applying pressure against his ribcage just so. “I can do this,” he repeated, pulling his fingers out and bringing them to his nose, inhaling deeply.
At least he didn’t smell.
Clean sweat.
Clean set.
“Let’s hear it one more time for Florence!” The host exclaimed, clapping into the microphone on stage. “Now this next one, I think you will really like…”
Remus picked up his saxophone and clipped it to the lanyard around his neck. His mother had knitted a pad for the back of it, bright magenta and yellow resting just below brown curls.
“All the way from Detroit…”
Inhale.
“Please welcome--Remus Lupin, his saxophone called Moony, and jazz.”
Remus snorted at the introduction, exchanging a weak smile with the Host—a man with messy jet back hair and round glasses, in purple plaid pants—as he walked onto the stage. He waited for the lights to dim slightly, blinking out into the lounge.
It wasn’t exactly the roar of the crowd.
A drunk at the back of the bar, slumped over on a stool.
A few staff pretending to be super busy, making scenes of taking a single plate left behind back to the kitchen.
The odd couple making out over their table, second drinks forgotten, in favor of touches and giggles and tongues.
And then there was him.
Remus already suffered from incurable dry mouth, having taken the route of soaking his reeds before playing, learning the hard way that he simply couldn’t conjure enough moisture on his own. His mother always said he lost everything sweating about the small stuff. But this man blinking back at him in the audience caused every drop of moisture Remus had left on this tongue to evaporate.
“H-h-i—” Remus started, his voice cracking, somehow able to turn a one syllable word into three. An impressive skill and he felt his face flush, looking down at the microphone to avoid the stare of him. “I uh, will…spare everyone here tonight a fumbled introduction, I’m not great with talking… just…I think I’ll just play, if that’s alright.”
A small chuckle.
That was the roar.
Remus made quick work of test notes.
Making sure his fingers remembered how to move.
And that his lungs remembered how to breath.
And that is mind and heart loved how it felt to be the center of attention for once for all the right reasons, watching out of his peripherals as the couple stopped making out and the staff slowed their paces as he played.
Remus went to the bar after his set, his saxophone in its case beside him, fiddling with the flimsy red straw in his whiskey and coke. He smiled to himself.
I don’t know what I just listened to, but I’m pretty sure I liked it, The Host had said after Remus exited the stage to the sound of cheers and a whistle.
“I liked your set,” came a voice and Remus looked away from floating ice cubes in his glass to see leather trousers sitting next to him at the bar stool.
“Uh, thanks.”
“I liked your audition tape too.”
“Tape?” Remus asked, panicked and finally looking up at the face that he knew belonged to black trousers. The one with the eyes he had avoided his entire set. The one with the cheekbones and the long, black curly hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail like something out of Vogue. The one who whistled at the end of his slot.
“Sirius Black—I own this place. I couldn’t make it to the auditions, but I did have them recorded…” He trailed off, with a lopsided grin, signaling the bartender. “I knew you were a good bet.” Remus nearly choked on his whiskey, and he sat up straighter on his bar stool unconsciously and Sirius laughed, “Relax, relax. I just said I liked it.”
“And I’ve forgotten every word except for thank you, and I’m…pretty sure I need to impress you further.”
Sirius laughed softly—that was the roar he heard earlier, this man— “Impress me? I just work here.”
“I’m told its part of playing the game…”
“Well, my philosophy has always been let your craft play the game for you…”
“You’re a musician?”
Another bark of laughter, and Sirius took two tattooed fingers and fished the cherry out of the top of his drink, “No, just a Lounge owner, I’m afraid.”
“Then of course you don’t know about the games. I’ve been at this for years and its always the people in charge you need to impress…”
“And you haven’t?”
“My music and…me…we’re an acquired taste, it seems.”
Sirius grinned, that cocky-lopsided one he saw earlier somewhere at his five-minute mark in his set, the one that definitely didn’t make him flush and definitely didn’t make him tongue tied now, “Lucky you then.”
“Wh-y’s,” another crack in his vocal cord, elongating syllables, “that?” Remus quickly picked up his drink and took a large gulp.
“I have a refined palette.” Sirius shrugged, “But—”
“But?”
“I have to ask what you were doing before you played.”
“Oh, I just work a stupid office job. Signatures and…filing.”
“No, backstage before you went on."
“W-What?”
“I went to go ask my brother about something, he's the annoying one with the headset running around back there, and saw you…you know…smelling your hands. Good luck ritual?”
“Oh god,” Remus smacked his hand against his forehead, “I’ll buy you a drink if you pretend you didn’t see.”
“I drink for free.”
“…Hot wings then?” Sirius laughed again and Remus winced, running his hand down his face, “I will give you the ten I made in tips tonight."
"Keep your money."
"You saw...?"
“I didn’t.”
“…Thanks.”
“I’ll just have to wait and see if you do it again next week. Find out eventually. This will be fun."
“Next week?”
“Refined palette.” Sirius said, picking up his pink drink and standing off the barstool, “You’ll get a call Monday.”
“I could kiss you.”
“Slow down there, superstar.” Sirius winked and made his way back to the center of the Lounge where he was sitting when Remus had first seen him to watch the rest of the acts.
--
Remus stood in front of the entrance of the Black Lagoon Lounge, phone stretched out in his hand, and his saxophone in the other as he pasted on a goofy grin and snapped a photo.
We’re still here! Another Saturday! Will send the recording as always.
A year ago, Remus felt lucky to have a 10-minute slot for amateur night.
And then he felt lucky to have a half hour slot to open on Saturday nights.
And then—now—he couldn’t believe his name was the one on the marquee.
TONIGHT: REMUS LUPIN, MOONY, AND....JAZZ
He waved to the security team as he walked in through the double doors, and down the stairs through black velvet curtains. He wasn’t on for another two hours but could smell the smoke and hear the soothing vocals of the singer who opened for his own opener.
It was the same every Saturday, and entirely different at the same time.
A routine he could rely on with familiar faces. The staff. The Host. The doors and his dressing room, now filled with his favorite brand of cigarettes and cards from people who had stumbled by the lounge and heard him play.
He kept his mother’s neck cushion on his lanyard.
He kept his reeds in a cup of water.
Some things didn’t change.
But now he played to full rooms. An actual crowd, the sound of cutlery clinking together accompanying his sets. Regulars who sat in the front every week and put twenties into a hat he left on the stage.
Sirius.
Who stood in the back, leaning against the bar with his long curly hair swept to the side and his array of leather clothing and whistled every time.
Every week for a year
And Sirius went from handsome man who made intense eye contact in a nearly empty lounge To Lounge owner.
To Man He Needed to Impress
To Friend
To Boyfriend.
There was a knock at the door, the backstage manager, who Remus had learned was Sirius’s brother, popping his head in to signal it was getting closer to show time.
Remus still carried his own saxophone backstage with him, not trusting anyone else to set it up just right and the way he liked it.
Remus still got nervous, like it was the first night all over again. Reveling in the sensation of his heartbeat hammering a rhythm of its own.
He inhaled deeply and closed his eyes, placing his hands underneath his armpits, and applying light pressure.
“You have been nervous before, and you will be nervous again,” Remus whispered to himself, “And you can do this.”
“You can do this,” came a second voice and Remus opened his eyes, unable to stop himself from smiling at the sight of Sirius in front of him. The toes of their shoes were touching, and Remus sometimes wished he could spend the evening counting eyelashes on grey eyes instead of counting out beats in his head.
Lucky that there was time for both, knowing Saturdays ended with Your Place or Mine? And absent touches on freckles and scars and tattoos and ribcages and hipbones.
Sirius looked at him expectantly, “Go ahead and finish…bad luck if you don’t.”
Remus shook his head but brought his fingers to the base of his nose and inhaled deeply anyway. It was bad luck if he didn’t finish the ritual.
“Still the weirdest fucking thing I’ve ever seen….” Sirius said.
“Ever?”
“Definitely.”
“Well, I have a second good luck ritual now too and its bad luck not to finish it…” Remus teased, and Sirius laughed, bringing a hand up to Remus’s chin and tilting it upward before kissing him softly.
“Good luck, superstar.”

How about horror au teachers?
honestly, i can see it working.
these ideas are not official, i'm just running them off the top of my head.
doren as a werewolf. sydney already talks about the rumors of him being a werewolf. but maybe this is too easy.
mason as a creature from the black lagoon. don't think i need to explain myself. mayhaps shape of water but turn it into a more traditional horror setup.
winter...witch...or even a witch hunter. something along those lines you know.
sirris could be a mad scientist type but i feel like that's way too simple and easy. like i could do a seth brundle deal. but it's so obvious? and i wanna challenge myself when it comes to these hcs especially as someone who really loves horror.
leighton...slasher probably? maybe? idk what would fit our lovely pervy headteacher.
i made sydney a demon so making river a demon seems so obvious. but i'm not opposed to it. but in all honesty, slasher might work. especially because the slasher genre is so heavily rooted in upholding conservative values. definitely could give off pearl vibes (as in pearl from x, one of my favorites movies ever).

Anime characters have this like fundamental unsettling nature to them to me it's like these weird plastic things trying to convince you they're human. like that one anime vampire girl with the plaid skirt. or like any character from one of those shows about a group of schoolgirls like k on or bocchi or whatever. Not unilaterally it depends on the like style or whatever. but like 80 percent of that shit just feels wrong especially now, it smells like burning plastic. It feels caustic to the spirit. Exceptions are lucky star and touhou characters and shit that is wacky and cool and stylized like great teacher onizuka or like. Where its deliberately dehumanized characters like black lagoon or eva. Otherwise its just like. These creatures are embodiments of industry, closer to a factory made product than anything warm and solid.

For the book asks: 1, 8, 19?
book you’ve reread the most times?
Hmm, fuck. That's a great question. Barring children's books, it's probably Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. When I was younger, my grandmother would take me to the bookstore every time I visited her (she lived in another state so I saw her a couple of times a year) and I was allowed to always pick out one book. I got that one when I was about 14? It was my first time reading anything like that, where nothing was wholly black and white and the POV shifted to the character you previously assumed was the villain, only to realize that they were perfectly human with their own hopes, dreams, aches, miseries, and desires. It really floored me. I still love it.
8. what is the first book you remember reading yourself?
Ever? God, I have no idea. I remember reading a children's picture book of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi in kindergarten, but that was with my class (and I have extremely vivid memories of sitting on a blue tarp in the middle of that classroom, the Waipahu breeze coming through the open door, and my crush's knee pressed up against mine while we read the book). I remember that around first grade, I really loved The Magic School Bus, The Teacher From The Black Lagoon, and as I got a little older, Sideways Stories From Wayside School, but I truly can't tell you the first book I remember reading. For adult books though, the first one I ever read by myself was What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day by Pearl Cleage, which I read when I was about 12 and snuck off my mom's bookshelf because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be reading it. I pretty much fell in love with lit fiction after that and read a lot of it. My mom and I have bonded over that book, which was really amazing one to stumble on at that young age, as it centers on an HIV+ positive woman beginning a relationship and falling in love and stresses respect and enthusiastic consent in a beautiful way.
19. most disliked popular books?
YEAH BABY I'M A HATER.
Straight up, I gotta confess that I loathed This Is How You Lose The Time War, as I choked on the purple prose and lack of character development. I think that, if it had been marketed as a sort of prose poem, I would have liked it more, and I am genuinely very glad for the author that the book has recently had a spike in popularity. I also can't stand Love In The Time of Cholera, Prozac Nation, and literally anything by Ayn Rand, which I unfortunately read both We the Living and half of Atlas Shrugged because an old boyfriend worshipped her. (I was 18 and had no idea how fucked up she - or he - was, but damn that opened my eyes.) I also loathe Love You Forever, which I sold a bunch of when I worked at a bookstore and found really creepy.
Also, no hate to Neil Gaiman, but I find it very difficult to get into most of his books, though I did love Good Omens, but I think that there was enough of Pratchett in it to work for me. I've just accepted that Gaiman writes for an audience that isn't me, though he's lovely online.
[Wanna ask me book questions? Please do! I love to talk shit.]

🥇 My 2023 anime awards! ✨
Hello! Since we're slowly approaching the end of 2023, I wanted to give awards to the animes I've watched this year, just like I did in 2021 and 2022!
Before we start off, I want to clarify two things. Firstly, this list contains animes I've watched this year, not necessarily animes that have aired this year (though there are some of those, too). Secondly, these are my opinions, which you may disagree with. Please be sure to stay respectful. With that said, let's begin!
First anime watched this year: My Hero Academia
I began 2023 with the well-known MHA. I doubt it requires an introduction, as it is one of the most famous animes out there, but I wanted to say that, even if it has some lows (especially in S5), it remains a great anime that deserves the recognition it gets.
Last anime watched this year: Ao Haru Ride
I actually finished watching this one today. It was a pretty good ride (pun intended), though it did leave me a little disappointed. Still, it makes for a good romance/character study show, which I recommend.
Worst anime watched this year: Abunai Sisters: Koko & Mika
Do not watch this sh*t. Or, you can, to have a laugh. It is evident in my mind that this anime is the worst one in existence. Nothing in this piece of garbage is done even remotely correctly, so save yourself the trouble.
"Honorable" mentions: (A Girl & Her Guard Dog, Ex-Arm, Call of the Night)
Prettiest anime watched this year: Oshi No Ko
If there's one thing I can't take away from Oshi No Ko, it's how beautiful it looks. We were all hooked on the art and animation from the first second, which then stuck. The character design, in particular, is breathtaking.
Honorable mentions: Demon Slayer S3, Insomniacs After School, Call of the Night
Best plot in an anime watched this year: Monster
It has aged like fine wine. Monster has many qualities, but its plot is the first one that comes to mind. It is the near-perfect combo of suspense, adventure, and psychology. It perfectly fits with the art style and the characters, too! A great gem!
Honorable mentions: Hunter x Hunter, Code Geass, Black Lagoon
Best action scene in an anime watched this year: Netero vs. Meruem (Hunter x Hunter)
I did not hesitate for even a second when choosing the winner for this category. Of all the scenes that make HxH such a unique experience, this one stood out the most. It is the climax of one of the best arcs in Shonen history, executed perfectly. I have shivers just thinking about it!
Honorable mentions: All Might vs. All for One (My Hero Academia), The Final Confrontation (Attack on Titan Finale), Sukuna vs. Jogo (Jujutsu Kaisen S2)
Best romance in an anime watched this year: Fuyutsuki-san & Himuro-kun (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague)
I'll deal with these two in more length later in this post, but I absolutely adored Fuyutsuki and Himuro's relationship. Everything about them made me a silly, blushing mess. They're straightforward characters when you think about it, but perhaps it's part of what makes them such great characters in my mind. I love them!!
Honorable mentions: Miyo & Kiyoka (My Happy Marriage), Tomo & Jun (Tomo-chan is a Girl!), Ganta & Isaki (Insomniacs After School)
Funniest anime watched this year: Great Teacher Onizuka
GTO's a classic and for all the right reasons. You cannot stop yourself from laughing at Onizuka's antics. Nonetheless, GTO remains more than a mere comedy. It's this mix of humor and seriousness that makes the funny scenes even funnier.
Honorable mentions: Buddy Daddies, Nodame Cantabile, Spy x Family S2
Saddest anime watched this year: Hunter x Hunter
Thinking that HxH is a childish show based on the first few episodes alone is a grave mistake. This adventure is a rollercoaster of emotions, and a few scenes, in particular, come to mind that will most likely make you tear up. Even if it can be painful at the moment, these events are part of what makes this show legendary!
Honorable mentions: Oshi No Ko, Attack on Titan Finale, Code Geass
Best opening in an anime watched this year: History Maker (Yuri!!! On ICE)
This anime is well-known for many things, but its opening theme is cruelly underrated! It fits the show to a T and is so catchy and fun to listen to! I've undoubtedly listened to it dozens of times during the year, and it's one of my favorites overall! Kudos to Dean Fujioka for such a masterpiece!
Honorable mentions: Venus Line (Birdie Wing: Golf Girls Story), Idol (Oshi No Ko), VORTEX (Link Click S2)
Best ending in an anime watched this year: Tokyo et Paris (Nodame Cantabile)
Such a fantastic song for such an underappreciated show! It has definitely gone off the radar due to being from a relatively unknown anime, but I loved this theme from the first time I listened to it! It's not the style of music I typically listen to, but it makes a great change of pace, and it totally fits with the ambiance of the anime!
Honorable mentions: Mephisto (Oshi No Ko), yurukuru love (Tomo-chan is a Girl!), Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night)
Best scene in an anime watched this year: Hunter x Hunter
I'm not gonna be able to go in-depth about this scene due to risks of spoilers, but fans of the show probably know what scene I'm referring to here. I'll just say that it punctuated a fantastic moment in the story and closed an arc in the most remarkable of ways. Truly splendid.
Honorable mentions: Oshi No Ko, Attack on Titan Finale, My Hero Academia
Worst character in an anime watched this year: Koko & Mika Abunai (Abunai Sisters)
They're pieces of cr*p, in short. I don't even want to talk about them since their whole existence is a mistake and should be avoided at all costs. See, flawed characters can have redeeming features. Not only do they have none, they're enough to worsen the whole industry.
Honorable mentions: Miyabi Aizawa (GTO), Minami Uezono (Ex-Arm), Mikio Tanuki (A Girl & Her Guard Dog)
Best character in an anime watched this year: Fuyutsuki-san (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague)
I kinda went over why I love her so much in an earlier category, but I just want to reiterate: she makes me happy. The thought of her (but also of Himuro) is enough to make me smile. Whether it's her voice, her design, her personality, her bonds with the others... Everything about her is so excellent; I can't help but love her. She'll go unnoticed because she is from a show that's not so popular, but that doesn't make her any less fantastic.
Honorable mentions: Himuro-kun (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague), Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass), Eren Yaeger (Attack on Titan)
Best anime watched this year: The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague
I think it was somewhat predictable, thanks to the huge amounts of praise I gave the show earlier, but this award, probably the most important, has gotta go to this anime. It also aired this year! Tuesdays were days I was looking forward to last winter for this show alone, and it definitely helped me get through tough times. You probably will hear very little about it as it's not a big production, but it had everything I watch anime for: the music, the art, the cast, the relationships, the cute moments... I even bought the manga to know the rest of the story, which I usually never do! Hopefully, we get a second season someday, though I'm slightly worried. In any case, if you're into cute workplace romances, I can't help but recommend this anime a million times. You won't regret it.
Honorable mentions: Hunter x Hunter, Perfect Blue, Insomniacs After School
Overall, 2023's been another excellent year of anime, whether for me or the community as a whole. We got a ton of fantastic shows and great sequels. I'm personally looking forward to more of the same next year, with great names either airing or coming back!
To conclude this post, here are my yearly tierlists for the opening themes, the main characters, and the shows themselves. I managed to fill them quite a bit this year, as well! Thanks a lot for reading, and I hope you all have a great New Year's Eve!

I'm into drama, dark like perfect blue, mahou shoujo, but i also really into action
action and drama alongside dark huh?
your lie in april
steins gate
Gate
toradora
kaichou wa maid sama
angel beats
ookami-san
death parade
elfen lied
owari no seraph (still mad there’s no 3rd season)
magi
akame ga kill
black rock shooter (only has 5 episodes and one ova if i’m remembering correctly but it’s sooo good. the op is a song sung by hatsune miku, the vocaloid)
claymore (but the anime rushed the ending so i recommend watching the anime first and then continuing the manga from the last few episodes)
plastic memories
golden time (has cute domestic fluff as well)
berserk (the 90’s anime and the 3 movies are pretty good. but if you wish to keep going then read the manga from the very beginning. ngl it’s a very dark manga/anime. realistic but also very dark fantasy. only start berserk if you have a strong gut)
great teacher onizuka (modern, crack, fluff, angst. everything packed into one. very good and underrated manga/anime)
monster (leans into the seinen side a bit as well. mostly famous due to the perfectly written antagonist)
good night pun pun
gangsta
black lagoon (i think the manga is still continuing. highly recommend watching it on english dub)
panty and stocking with garterbelt (a crack, very american anime. absolutely love it ngl. also recommend watching it on english dub as well)
jormungand (has a similar tone to black lagoon and gangsta. the main ost slaps)
baccano!
cowboy bebop (absolute classic. the op jazz song is just 😚🤌. green bird ost is melancholic. slaps too tbh)
samurai champloo
vinland saga (considered one of the big 3’s of seinen manga/anime alongside berserk)
vagabond (kinda on hiatus rn. the third one of the big 3’s of seinen manga/anime)
and that’s about it. holy this turned long

It's intersting how when I read The Catcher In The Rhe in high school my teacher kind of skimmed over the fact Sallinger had PTSD but that is so intrinsic to the story. Sure, it's a coming of age story and one of the main themes is growing up (and the fear of it), but it's also a story about healing from a traumatic event. Your average teenager doesn't end up in a psychiatrist hospital. Of course a veteran would write a story about someone trying to hold onto childhood naïveté. The age of enlistment is eighteen.
Take the Ducks, for example. The symbolize innocence in the sense of going from childhood to adulthood. So the question of where they go when the lagoon freezes over is basically "what happens when you grow up? Does it happen all at once? Does somebody explain to you how to do it?" And when he finds the lagoon is only half frozen, the answer is that growing up is a process. It's half frozen, half not. Like his hair is half black and half white.
But when Holden talks to Horwitz about it, the question is "what happens to someone who goes through a traumatic event?" When he asks if someone in a truck comes and takes them, or if they just fly away he's asking whether someone's gonna come fix him or if he needs to do it on his own (the answer is neither and both).
The cab driver doesn't know shit about Holden and thinks he's just askng weird questions. But when he said it's "tougher for the fish" it's the same old "others have it worse." He goes on, that the fish are stuck inside the "goddamn ice". But that's just nature, it's just how life is. People suffer, men go to war and your little brothers get ill and die. But "if you was a fish, Mother Nature's take care of you, wouldn't she?" Life is difficult but everyone makes it. So why can't Holden just move on and let things fix themselves?

tagged by @ruinaaa
tag 9 people you wanna get to know better!
last song: electric funeral by black sabbath lmao, unless you count the Splatoon soundtrack I'm currently experiencing while Eliza plays salmon run with random gay ppl on discord
last show: uhh either godspeed you! black emperor or lu lagoon / pictoria vark, can't remember which was more recent, both were a could of months ago
currently watching: riverdale, pretty little liars, various video game playthroughs, random music theory videos and guitar pedal reviews
currently reading: uhh . blogs lmao. the b*ble. wikipedia. the news. the documentation for this python package wrapping access to some apis that I've been using to make an automated build process for work, where non-tech content ppl (i.e. teachers/education researchers) can update level content in a spreadsheet for a literacy game and then click a button to deploy it to the cacheable web app,, as a way to move away from the current process where the content person messages me to let me know there are changes and I have to go run some scripts and manually build a new version and get it posted lol
current obsession: I'm finishing recording an album by myself which requires being obsessed with my own music tbh, recent events are making me wanna revisit the late career works of my favorite mathematician (rip), and I've been really into looking at bugs on the ground. the are so many of them and they're very small. also I'm always obsessed with pickle, the parrot who lives with us and sits on my shoulder several hours a day
tagging: uhh as always I'm the worst at this part and I'm just gonna say if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged
