I think I need to relive the summers we would have power outages. Our parents were working, so it was just me and my siblings. Late enough to make the house dark, early enough to still be hot and sweaty. Poor so there's not really any food in the cabinets, and we couldn't open the fridge so the cold would stay in. And we'd all be a little delirious from it, saying every thought that came to mind, having pointless debates with our eyes closed because we were tired, laughing at every ridiculous thing we'd say. Laying or sitting in odd positions, maybe holding a flashlight if we had them. I couldn't describe these times in detail, my memory is too bad, but I think I need to relive it. I think it'd fix something in me.

thank you to every single fucking person on this god forsaken site that has ever posted your own art or writing. You really put a vulnerable, important part of yourself out in the open on the hellscape that is the internet and if that isnt an act of bravery and a labor of love I dont know what one is

I love the Martren thing because it was player agency in the face of gimmicks. Ren went through the superpowers session, lost Martyn, turned into him at the last second, then lost his superpowers. But lore-wise, he made it have an impact. Ren actually did something. The superpowers gimmick made him do something that allowed it to stretch beyond its intended life span (ie. its own session). Of course Ren will blatantly lore his way into that making sense. If he wants Martyn in the finale, he’ll just rewrite the story because he has player agency.

Ren has the improv ability to talk like Martren!Martyn half of the time and goes around making a deal out of it… then snails come back and he’s instantly distracted and reverts to normal Ren voice.

Ren reacted to the gimmick by owning it and roleplaying having control over it, like it’s an actual superpower that his character gained outside of fun buttons that the CC pressed. It was definitely a decision he made that fits in with his character arc and relationship arc with Martyn. The gimmicks were supposed to be temporary, but because he’s a storyteller, he tells the story of them having an effect on him. He’s telling us a story.

there's something in the fact that lizzie's death can never be uniquely hers. she is always stuck between two violent forces, never the reason for her own demise, and never going out on her own terms. always, always the middle-man.

first, it was for bdubs—for etho, too. for a promise made that she had nothing to do with. she died in a heartbeat—a confusing blur of screams and colour. she died so that bdubs could live, and her death was not hers, but his. it was his victory, his way out, and she got lost somewhere in the middle.

second, it was for joel—for his god-given task, and for his rivalry. she died alone, forever falling, carrying out a mission that she had nothing to do with. she died and jimmy lived, and once more her death was not her own. not hers, but his— his victory and his celebration, all while she continued to fall.

most recently, it was for jimmy— a mission, and a promise that he would be "taken out by [grian's] own hand," that she had nothing to do with. she died voiceless, unable to utter a final word, and grian cheered. not for her elimination, but for his. it had nothing to do with her, she just happened to be there.

forever cursed to die shouldering a burden that is not her own, always overshadowed by something greater.
