Named for the first time I encountered an unreliable narrator and had a word to put to the phenomenon.---If you get commentary from @novanhistorian, that's me and I probably meant for it to go here. I'm not particularly adept at having a sideblog.

I’ve never in my life seen or been taught sentence structure like this. It seems incredibly interesting, though. Do any of my followers know anything about this or were taught this?

My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.
I once lived a peaceful life with simple dreams, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war tore through Gaza. I had to flee my home, leaving behind everything I knew, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.
The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.
I live in constant fear of judgment and violence. On top of this, I face extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.
Life has become a daily fight for survival.
Dear LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters around the world, I turn to you in my time of desperate need. I have no one else to ask for help. The world around me looks at me with disgust, and I can no longer bear this life. I am exhausted, broken, and alone. Please, I beg you, help me leave this place and find safety, dignity, and a chance to live as myself. I cannot survive here any longer. Your support is my only hope.
Every day, I fear for my life. But I refuse to give up. I want to live. Please, your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter how small, gives me hope for a better tomorrow.
Please Take Action Now‼️
GFM Donations Link Here 🍉🇵🇸
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
#IMPORTANT#I can't donate right now but I can and will share#unvetted but donation protected & seems by consensus to be unsuspicious#at 1.2k of 5.5k goal! please help if you can!

Translated the infamous Cassilda's song to Russian while preparing to run Impossible Landscapes. Everyone is welcome to use my translation if you like it.
О берег бьются облака, Два солнца прячутся в волнах, И тени все длинней в Каркозе.
Созвездий черных странный свет Мерцает странным лунам вслед, Но всех страннее мрак Каркозы.
Струится с неба песнь Гиад, Лохмотья Короля шуршат, Но тишина царит в Каркозе.
Мой голос нем, слова мертвы, Невыплаканных слез следы Засохнут навсегда в Каркозе.
#...so I assume you've seen the yellow sign?#(this is very cool! thank you for doing it!)#and good luck with impossible landscapes!#cassilda's song#the king in yellow (novel)#the king in yellow (play)

Just flat-out missed it this year. Happy belated birthday, my dear Louis.
I apparently don't understand the post scheduling
I tried to schedule one of the "people who celebrate fictional character birthdays" posts for the 19th (Louis Castaigne's birthday) and just trusted it to post like a chump, so here I am a few days late with this belated missive.
HAPPY 146TH BIRTHDAY LOUIS DE CALVADOS CASTAIGNE.
#louis de calvados castaigne#I love him. I have so many headcanons for him.#I think too much about his age. he emphatically doesn't and it causes a lot of his problems.#he's a forty-something man in his early twenties and both of those facts are correct. only the latter is acknowledged.

Every time I read Impossible Landscapes I'm caught entirely unprepared by the solid page of non-stop references to The Repairer of Reputations. I love it so much that I actually kind of want to bite the book.
Lou Castaigne x Connie Nelson in particular is sending me.
#impossible landscapes#finally putting this blog to its intended use: being a massive fucking KIY nerd#if anyone wants to go see this it's the example missions from Mr. Wilde and it's GREAT#I want to eat it. I don't /care/ if the book has teeth I want to /eat it./#delta green: impossible landscapes#the king in yellow#the repairer of reputations (short story)#the king in yellow (novel)#(tangentially)

Ooh man, I love your Crew of Light's first Christmas tags.
Can you imagine... Lucy died on the longest days of the year, when light fades and darkness starts to reign on land and on everyone's souls from losing her. Then a month after Dracula becomes ash the Crew of Light are there together on the longest night of the year and Christmas and near the dawn of a new year. Light starts to slowly but surely come back, as if Quincey made sure of it.
Context: Anon is referring to my tags* on this post... Anon I wanted to reply to this with a comic on Christmas but I took too long,,, consider it a post-Christmas gift:
*My tags: #im damn rusty on the loreTM rn but i do agree arthurll throw a fancy ass celebration and stuff as expected from the lordling #and then once thats done the real celebration of them meeting at the Harkers occurs where its more somber. i imagine the 1st christmas #postDracula is very somber. its barely been a month after all. no parties in the goldaming estate this year im afraid yes the new lord is #just so deeply in mourning isnt he devoted. sitting at the grave of his beloveds every week. hes still in his room now mediating i heard #just as the loneliness finallt gets to arthur hes greeted by a knock at the door. seward has come to find him—one look at his drawn face #is all it takes to know they were both mourning the same ppl. so they go. down to the harkers' where van helsing is alr waiting by the door #chiding them for their lateness ('didnt you receive my telegram' 'that seems to be a recurring problem yes') even as VH's hug warms them up #from their trek through the snow ('oh no we dont need a carriage dears enjoy your christmas'). they become warmer still sitting ard the #hearth with the Harkers similarly harggard yet brightening instantly as the group reunites... and as they exchange stories of the dead #it is as though they still walk amongst them their memory forever kept alive. if 2 ghostly presences watch from the doorway well. #do pardon them. they just missed their family so much.

The only games I play with any regularity are Cultist Simulator, Hollow Knight, and Sky: Children of the Light. I feel like that says something about me as a person but I can't quite tell what.
#for more detail:#hollow knight is great for something to do with my hands and eyes while listening to something else#sky used to be that but I kind of stopped using my ipad#cultsim is the only game I've ever found that engages every faculty at once and doesn't need something else#(everyone should go listen to the hollow knight ost though)

Unleash Your Imagination with Travelling At Night: A Dialogue-Driven CRPG
Travelling At Night is a 40hr dialogue-driven choices-matter CRPG game with its sights on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Weather Factory is at it again, bringing us another mind-bending title. Working to make its way onto Steam. Narrative specialist Weather Factory is back with their third game, Travelling At Night, a dialogue-driven, choices-matter CRPG for Linux. If you’re into deep stories and making big choice, this one’s going to hook you. Set in the mysterious world of Cultist Simulator and BOOK OF HOURS, this game promises over 40 hours of replayable, noir-inspired storytelling. It also skips combat entirely, focusing instead on rich dialogue and meaningful choices. Think of classics like Disco Elysium or Planescape: Torment — but with an eerie, mythic twist.
What’s the Story?
Travelling At Night takes place in the year 1948. Europe is still recovering from war, but the ruins aren’t just haunted by history. Myth has also taken hold. So cities are plagued by strange forces — leaf and amber storms, or worse. In this chaotic world, the US’s golden Incorporates face off in a cold war against the USSR’s star-touched Ministries. And you? You’re due to lead an occult carnival on a dangerous pilgrimage. Your goal in Travelling At Night? Uncover buried power that could shift the Cold War’s balance. Who gets that power is up to you. The Ministries, the Incorporates, or… maybe you’re due to keep it for yourself? But there’s more to your journey. Twelve years ago, you were hollowed out by the Worms under the world. You’ve returned, carrying something strange inside you. It’s not just your choices that will shape this journey — your past is also coming for you too.
Travelling At Night Key Features
Create Your Character Pick your path! Will you be an exorcist haunted by sorrow, a stage magician driven by hunger, or a physician fueled by curiosity?
Explore a Changed Europe Wander through myth-infused ruins, from seaside sanitariums to Alpine castles. Every stop is full of surprises — some breathtaking, others horrifying.
Build Your Skills Shape your character with 16 unique skills. Dignity helps doctors keep their cool, while Spivvery might be the only way to find food. And let’s not forget Skolekosophy — the study of things better left untouched.
Find and Use Memories Memories and signs aren’t just collectibles; they’re tools to grow your skills and passions in Travelling At Night. Unearth them in the ruins or dig them out in conversations with the bold, complex NPCs you meet.
No Combat, but Plenty of Danger After six years of war, there’s no need for more violence. But don’t think you’re safe — there are also fates worse than death waiting for the careless.
Endings That Matter What you do with the power you find changes everything. Will you sell it, protect it, or use it to forge a new path? Every decision leads to a unique ending.
So, if you’re ready to guide an occult carnival through a mythic, war-torn world, Travelling At Night is waiting for you. Wishlist the choices-matter CRPG on Steam now for Linux, Mac, and Windows PC!
#everyone expect me to go bonkers when this comes out.#I found out about it yesterday and have been vibrating on and off ever since.#<- person who has something like 300? hours on cultsim#and will probably do something similarly intense with book of hours whenever their life decides to stop going faster than they can run#travelling at night#secret histories

Dear generous supporters,
Please do not skip my story 🇵🇸🍉🚨
I am writing this with full hope to find people with kind hearts to help and support to regain my physical ability to walk and work again.
My name is Ahmed Al Yazji. I am 20 years old living in Gaza and in need for urgent medical treatment after being dangerously injured by a recent Israeli airstrike.
On Nov 11, 2023, I was at home staying peacefully with my family when an air strike hit the house causing severe damage to the building and serious injury to my neck.
The medical images show part of a rocket still present in my neck which according to the report will potentially cause me complete paralysis if not removed.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to do the needed surgery in Gaza due to lack of medical expertise, the damaged hospitals and equipment caused by the war.
Before the war, I was working and taking care of my family and being responsible for the financial expenses.
Now with my injury, I am not physically capable of working which has been causing extreme hardship to my family who is now facing inevitable hunger and escalating health issues.
I am running this fundraiser to ask for donations to help me do a neck surgery out of Gaza so that i can gain back my physical abilities to walk and work to feed my family. Part of the donations will be also used to maintain our house that was severely impacted by the strike.
With your power and your support I hope that I can rebuild my life again soon.
