I just came back home from a weekend trip to Bergamo, and I really loved the city. It was small enough to be visitable in two days, the architecture was beautiful, and although it was really hot I had an overall good time! I will be definitely be posting more pictures in the next few days, but I particularly like this one so I wanted to give it its own little post. I am very much tired after two days made up of a lot of walking, and I am still living with zero plans of what I should be doing, but to be fair I do not feel like I have recovered from my burn out yet. Feelings of guilt for not being productive have started making their way to my brain, but I am doing my best to be rational and not give into them. Starting to journal again would definitely be helpful, but I have yet to find the strenght to build the habit back up again.

#i really like how this picture turned out but i don't like posting pics without some sort of entry #this is after all my online journal or smt like that #anyway i have a coupld book reviews coming up in the week and some more travel pics #studyblr #studyinspo #student life #travelling #architecture #italy #painting #painted ceiling #art #travel pic #journaling #mine #personal #the---hermit

Tumblr has been a wealth of inspiration. One of my motivations for starting my own line of journals is because of what I am inspired by on Tumblr. The people I follow have the most uplifting, thought-provoking posts and I greatly appreciate how this platform has indirectly and directly supported my journey to move out of the states of heartache, disappointment, despair, depression, trauma-response thinking, and more.

My journey has been heartbreaking and to see someone post something that seems to understand the depth of feeling I feel at that moment is like someone throwing you a much-needed lifeline.

I know many of us gripe about the toxicity of social media but I truly feel like my tribe live here on this platform. May you receive the same relief and comfort of knowing there are those who think, feel, and ponder the things you do.

more angst

crick had a journal that he'd write in daily. one day temenos found it while searching for clues in flamechurch and read it. the last entry written was about temenos.

"I met the Inquisitor today. He was odd, yet I found myself drawn to his every word. I find myself watching his movements closely, hanging on every little thing he says. I am unsure of why Inquisitor Temenos has such an effect on me, but I am not against it."

temenis discovered that crick's favourite flower was a lily, so now whenever he sees lillies in flamechurch he wants to cry (<- he has a pot of lillies in his house in the windowsill that he takes vigilant care of)

GOD DONT HIT ME WITH THE FLOWR SYMBOLISM… TAKING CARE OF ONE OF THE LAST CONNECTIONS HE HAS TO HIM… SOBBING CRYING BASHING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL ETC

#crick’s lil journal entry…..#he’s too pure for this world #temenos mistral #crick wellsley #knightlight #asks #octopath traveler ii spoilers #octopath traveler 2 spoilers

6. Unravel (part 1 of 2) - The Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe

Keeper: 1035

Date: Viridian 8, year 9402

Temperature: 18℃

Weather: rainy, with dark clouds

It took me a bit of fidgeting before successfully turning on the lighthouse's main light; I was distracted by the thought of my blanket, now ruined after many years of proud service.

It was an accident: as I stood up from my chair, I didn't notice the blanket getting caught up in its legs, and now the thread is unravelling at the edges.

I knew I had to crochet more than one blanket; I have been using the same one for years, and I'm fond of the memories tied to it. It's been a loyal companion during many cold days.

Since it's a quiet, rainy night, I thought I might have time to fix it, except I couldn't find my old wool thread anymore. I'll have to procure more somehow, but for tonight, I decided to give up.

Now, staring outside, I can see threads of lightning forming through the clouds; they look like a net, or even a blanket, unravelling just like mine.

I can feel the energy of that thread warping the space around me. The ground is shaking, is it an earthquake?

I can't remember anymore, what was I thinking, what was I doing here? Was there a yesterday, is there a tomorrow? When is now?

~~~

*Time warps*

This is a playthrough of a solo TTRPG called The Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe, by lostwaysclub.

What the Notes Didn't Say (Partitio Yellowil x Ori)

Partitio and Ori spend time in a room at Papp's house. (1100 words)

Giga-turbo Octopath Traveler 2 endgame spoilers ahead!

-----

Ochette had been nice enough to delay her journey home from Toto'haha for another week when Partitio came to her with the request.

"I need yer help to track someone down. Last anybody saw of them was the apothecary's hut in Crackridge."

She'd also been nice enough not to ask too many questions. Even though she knew.

He'd also been lucky enough to catch Castti before she she boarded her ship back to the Eastern Continent. And a good thing. The hunch that the person he was looking for would need treatment proved to be right on the money.

Papp, thankfully, had been willing to let him and the apothecary in carrying a girl in a bloodied shirt and scrivener's cap without asking questions. His dad knew enough to trust him.

And that's where he had been for the past four days, by her bedside whenever Castti wasn't seeing to her treatment. "The desert climate can be especially harsh for those with wounds that severe. We're lucky Ochette found her when she did."

"But she's not dyin', is she?" Partitio chewed on a stick of cinnamon, a nervous habit he had picked up lately.

"I've done what I can, and the apothecary who treated the initial knife wound was skilled." Castti's expression was neutral. "It was a deep wound and a near-fatal amount of blood loss. If all goes well, she'll wake up and be fine. However, I do insist she be watched at all times. The commotion from the other day has settled down, but there's still no telling how she'll react to the situation when she wakes up. And stable condition doesn't mean she can just walk right out of here. She'll need to get plenty of bed rest."

"Thank ye, Castti." Partito scratched his chin, staring down at Ori's unconscious body on the bed. "I know yer best is the best there is. Nothin' left to do now but wait."

Castti was out shopping for herbs when her patient first showed signs of stirring.

…

Ori's eyelids began to flutter. Which was weird, since she was deceased. Why was the cold, nocturnal abyss of death so dazzlingly bright? And scorchingly, sizzlingly hot and tingly? The first thing she saw was a familiar face, a man in a wide-brimmed hat with a smile. That uniquely warm, special, one-of-a-kind smile that always seemed to buzz around in the back of her head like a mosquito with a drum set.

At least, it had before she had spilled her own blood to extinguish the sacred flame. She had been supposed to spill all of it. So why was it daytime. Unless…

"Ah… Partitio…?" This was bad. An atrocious, abominable turn of events!

Her attempts to leap backwards and out of bed were thwarted by the fact that every muscle below her neck didn't seem to want to do more than continue resting on the creaky box-spring mattress.

"Heheh, mornin' Ori." He clasped his hands together. "Gonna want to settle down, though. Castti says ya shouldn't be walkin' around for another week or three."

She blushed, not knowing how to respond. "Oh, gods, this is embarrassing. Am I going to have to write my own headline? 'Wayward Scrivener Waylaid in Desert'? Oh, no, that'll never sell. Maybe if-"

"-Whoa there, newsie." The smile went off his face. Which meant the honest merchant was about to hit on a less chipper topic. "Let's lay that actin' aside here." He pulled out a sheaf of papers from the pocket of his worn yellow overcoat. Even old and battle-worn as it was, it still looked drastically dashing on the dapper deal-maker. "Good to see yer still with us. You should know, I've read yer notes. Didn't try to, but they were lyin' all over the place and somebody had to put 'em back in order."

"Or no, shoot. That's a lie." He lifted up his hat and sheepishly scratched the back of his head. This man had access to a naturally adorable depth of charm, a level of which Ori's fake plucky scrivener persona had only scratched the surface of. "I wanted to know why."

"Partitio…" She had been afraid, terrified before. When watching her village be slaughtered before her eyes. When Harvey's arrogance had threatened their whole gods-damned plan. When the point of her knife had first pierced her own stomach. "You read… You read my notes?" This was different. And somehow substantially worse.

"Yeah. Thing is, they didn't tell me why. Not really." He stared her in the eye. Face close, intense. "You see, I have a talent for judgin' people. Seein' what they're all about. I feel like I know you. These notes tell me what you did. But they don't tell me why you tore 'em out of yer notebook, scattered in a trail on the way to that extinguished brazier. Osvald went through 'em right quick and they helped him put a lotta stuff together. Why would someone who spent years working for that and guardin' information tighter'n any lockbox give up the game like that?"

"They don't tell me why ya helped me out when I was tryin' to get that mall up and runnin'. And they sure as gods don't tell me what you're feeling now." His eyes were pure, shining beads. An ocean of sympathy she had no right to be swimming in. "Can I ask ya that?"

She was frozen. This was utterly, unconditionally unexpected. "I… I…" Her voice cracked. "I'm so scared." Why was she crying? She'd been in scuffles, had interviews that went way worse than this. What did she have to cry over?

"I see." He nodded slightly. "I don't understand what you did. I don't. But I want to know. But more'n any of that, I wanna forgive ya'. Now, ya lil' pen wizard, what is it you want?"

"I… sob" She was breaking. She had already perished, once, but now the walls inside her, walls she had built up for decades, walls her brother had taught her to keep perfectly maintained, were crumbling. She wanted, she really wanted, "I want to…live. I want to be alive, but… But I've done a terrible thing. So many horrible things so many people. Is, is it okay for me to want that?" It was wrong, she had to be wrong. And he was going to laugh at her. But she had about as much luck stopping as she would have had catching a greased octopuff with her bare hands. "I wanna LIVE! WhaaaAHHH!!" Bawling was something she could never recall doing before today. Odd.

"That's it. That's all right, now." And then he was putting his arms around her, lifting her up slightly. "So long as you wanna live, I'm in yer corner."

She cried, screamed it out in his arms until her throat was sore, until there were no more words. At some point, she fell back to sleep, and could dimly feel him lowering her back down onto the creaky old mattress. The last thing she felt before drifting off, exhausted but very much alive, was the grip of his palm on hers.

~End~

It’s been several weeks since I started watching Nosferatu, and I finally picked it up last night since I now have a knitting project suitably mindless that I can do without having to look at it and can watch the movie in peace. I’ve finished the third act, and I have to say, this is honestly really faithful to Dracula. Since it’s never been a secret that Nosferatu is heavily inspired by Dracula (read: an unauthorized adaption), I’m going to assign Dracula names to the roles characters play in the story rather than use their actual names most of the time.

The character combinations are interesting, but make a lot of sense given the large cast of characters in the book. I haven’t gotten far enough for most of the secondary characters to be a major presence, but I’ve read that they’re mostly absent, so the focus remains mostly on the Jonathan and Mina figures.

One of the biggest changes so far is that Mr. Hawkins and Renfield are combined into Knock, a now-malicious solicitor secretly in kahoots with the Count.

Narratively speaking, this actually makes a more of sense than it might sound at first. Mr. Hawkins is mostly a plot device in the original story, not really a character, and given the restraints of a silent film, it would be rather challenging to establish why and how the Count wants to visit England. When you strip down the conversations from the captivity portion of the novel, you’re left with the challenge of how to convey the Count’s desire or to establish how exactly he made arrangements with a foreign solicitor, so giving him an agent abroad is a pretty economical way to convey that. Then, when the Count is travelling, using Knock as a Renfield-figure and thrall of the Count serves to heighten the tension, and while the “the life is in the blood” speeches are a little less mysterious, they do pair very well with the back-and-forth between the not-Demeter and not-Van Helsing teaching a botany class about carnivorous plants.

The major downside of that choice is that it removes much of the nuance present in the books regarding the characters under the Count’s sway. Renfield and Seward’s back and forth about the nature of sanity is so far completely absent, and I expect this will be the case through the movie, going off of the visual language’s cartoonishly malicious depiction of Knock. Renfield’s humanity is really just not shown, and while Knock’s gleeful manner while eating bugs is quite similar to Renfield’s manner in the book, I highly doubt the element of resistance will show up.

Still, overall, this feels like a simplification rather than a warping of the story. Unfortunately, it’s a simplification that results in a caricature of mental illness, and yet I don’t think it’s a fundamental misreading of the story, unlike Drac/Mina pairings.

The second major change so far is that Mina and Lucy’s role have been combined into one, and given their similar narrative roles as vulnerable and beloved targets, this makes a lot of sense. Now, the Mina-figure is the sleepwalker. There is a slight change in that the prophetic dreams start earlier, but it also serves to emphasize her connection with Jonathan without the letter and journal devices. It also establishes her vulnerability early on, pretty much as soon as we realize that Jonathan is in peril, which is an effective way to convey the peril of Lucy-Mina without diary entries and serves to jump-start the middle act of the story (which I admittedly found rather slow during Dracula Daily)

In a related vein, there’s another convenience change that’s either big or small depending on what you view as an important theme. In Dracula, the Count seems primarily interested in England, and his later vendetta is the result of his predatory nature, not the driving motivation. In Nosferatu, that’s flipped, and his primary motivation to leave his castle is to track down not-Mina. He presumably did first send for a solicitor, though, so the motivation isn’t absent, it’s just less developed.

Apart from character changes, the biggest other change is that the Count spreads plague rather than just killing or turning characters. So far, it doesn’t feel fundamentally different from the book, but I don’t know yet if it will have larger plot implications down the line.

I will say, though, that the time period is always waiting a little bit uncomfortably at the back of my mind. It came out in 1922, and there’s just so much going on in the Weimar Republic at this time. It’s a culturally wild time. I don’t know a lot about this film, or its make, or how it was received, so I’m just left with vague implications about the various changes and how they would be received. What does it suggest that he spreads a plague? What does his increased focus on preying on Mina mean? What are the implications of the fact that he has an apparently willing agent abroad, or that Renfield is only a slavish caricature, totally devoted to the count?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, but they’re always looming somewhere as I watch.

#dracula daily #nosferatu #i initially was confused by why he was travelling by boat before realizing i'm conflating germany and the weimar republic #and forgetting about different territorial boundaries #then i also wondered whether or not the plague device diminished the effectiveness of the captain's sacrifice—why was he tying himself up?#i think i would not understand why he's doing it if i wasn't already familiar with dracula #still though i really loved those scenes #which i guess makes sense. the demeter passages were one of my favorite parts of Dracula Daily #however i will say that watching the captain and mate throw the corpse of their crewmate overboard was visually effective #in a way that i think the fearful journal entries would not have been able to translate directly to film #and i think one of the most impactful changes made by the chronological format (she says having only read it that way)#because for me the slow terrifying countdown was one of the most ominous parts of the book #because i was both concerned for the crew of the demeter but also worried about the main characters #if they survive and make it that's terrible; if they don't it's a tragedy #and since as a modern reader i already kind of know that dracula is a vampire and bad news #i don't think that the unravelling the mystery of the abandoned ship would have led to any real dread #i may not have known much about Dracula but as a modern reader i do know that the count's a vampire and that means bad news #(okay more accurate to say until her dream)#I have to say: epistolary to silent film might be one of the widest gulfs to jump (with maybe only ballet being further?)#because your ability to use words is very limited and an epistolary is all about the words #the thing they do have in common is the need to distill things down to their essence #because the conceit of the epistolary requires you to at least believe the characters are recounting what happened #so you can't get TOO detailed or verbose without an explanation for how their memory is so good or they don't get fatigued #and when they recount things they're really summarizing what happened. so they have to pick what matters most #and with a silent film you're trying to convey emotions without verbal/speaking people's primary form of communication #so body language is exaggerated and you are very limited in how much you can use words #and have to boil things down to their essentials

Tuve la oportunidad de viajar a Europa para conocer e ir a eventos.

Paseando por Amsterdam me hizo reflexionar lo bonito que puede ser allá fuera, en referencia a la aceptación por la diversidad. Una que vive en un país donde el odio y repudio a la comunidad trans es alarmantemente alto, donde a diario se escuchan h0micidi0s a causa de la identidad de una persona, entre otras cosas horribles; Estar en un espacio seguro me dio esperanza y paz. Me recuerda que se debe seguir adelante para llegar a vivir y estar plena, fomentando la inclusión. Habrá muchos retos por delante, que daré lo mejor de mí para llegar a mis objetivos.

We weren’t put on this Earth to waste our lives away breaking our backs in search of money. We weren’t made to chase worldly pleasures. Or to collect material things. Or even to get the highest of academic degrees and the most prestigious careers.

We were put in this Dunya to worship Allah. To obey him; to pray and fast and be humble and build healthy Muslim families and spread the word of Allah and give to the poor and visit the sick and advise those who are lost. And to hold onto the Quran and Sunnah with everything we’ve got.

#muslim writers #muslim reminder #islamic reminders #muslim journal #journal entry #we travel light #i think about this every day #our priorities need reevaluating

Does Val still have a master/mechanic? I saw you hint at it in the last doodles

His creator is unfortunately deceased

#Infinity Drive #i guess his basic backstory versus what his backstory would be in Pokemon are the same #his creator-- Professor Maurice-- attempted to create the perfect robot boyfriend for himself #but his work was consistently delayed/sabotaged #so Valerie came to life just after Maurice was murdered and never got to know him directly #he learned about Maurice through years and years of video diaries and journal entries #Maurice's final wish was that Valerie go out and experience life to the fullest in his honor #so Valerie travels the world learning about humanity to feel closer to his deceased master #significantly more tragic compared to his original backstory lmao #I'll have to repost the snippet i wrote about it #but yeah #Valerie is a super advanced android who possesses what's called the #which allows him to learn and develop rather than having base code that can't grow beyond its limits #but because he's recently come online his social skills are..... lacking #but that's the beauty of traveling the world to learn about humanity! (and Pokemon)
