mangoball archives

(follow up to this post)

so since twitter is collapsing, the search for a good mangoball backup led me to this project by @this-glittering-world and. it is absolutely fantastic. it's a full mangoball recreation in html, including the christmas special and author's notes. there's dark mode and light mode and even the option to read it as a chat fic without all the twitter styling?? not to mention it's just a well designed site? i'm very impressed.

imo, this is the best backup of mangoball right now and it deserves much more attention. check it out:

the other archive I want to direct attention to is the one on thread reader. this is slightly less reliable because if the thread gets deleted or if twitter goes down it'll stop working, but it works for now. also it looks like you can save the threads as PDFs for a couple bucks which is handy. here are the links to the og and the christmas special:

We've had Eldritch Horror Jolene and "The singer is in love with Jolene" but I just saw this youtube comment suggesting Jolene is a personification of death and I'm absolutely floored by it.

Like holy shit. "Flaming locks of auburn hair" just being literally flames, "Emerald eyes" being an unearthly green glow. The "ivory skin" line referring to the paleness of bloodless skin or even bleached bone, and yet Jolene is still spoken of as having haunting, enticing beauty, like a sort of angelic figure. The husband "talking about her in his sleep" meaning he's delirious with fever and keeps talking like he knows he's going to die. Of course the narrator can't compete with, or do anything about, a literal force of nature.

eventually one has to come to terms with the fact that "conceive of myself as a person capable of tackling difficult things" is an achievable goal toward which one can take concrete steps whereas "have things be easy" is Not
