Foggy Glasses - Prelude

The time before the start of the morning can be a haunting thing. No words, no sounds, no light, just the hollowness of existence itself. It could be scary, but Mist tried to see it as something beautiful. Well, he would be thinking of it as something beautiful if he weren't nervously getting himself ready for school. A tie of the hair, a brush of the teeth, a putting of glasses and a change of clothes, everything perfectly ready for him to start out at the Kimoru Institute of Technology. This could be great for him, he thought, he could get a great job after it and the prospect of studying for five whole years to be a chemist excited Mist immensely. As he left his room, he noticed the other door on the floor was closed, leading him to calmly go there and hover for a second before knocking on the door. There was no answer. "Cloud, I'm sorry for this, but it has to be done", Mist thought, as he loudly slammed the door open and yelled: — Cloud Microscope Argentum, it is five in the morning, why are you still not awake?! — He knew exactly why he wasn't awake, but Mist had to keep up this facade while he was home. — Come on, Mist, my classes only start next week! — Cloud yawned, barely opening his eyes. — Please, Cloud, you know how mom and dad get if you wake up late. — Mist whispered, a look of mild worry on his eyes. — Okay, okay, I'll get up and catch up on my required reading, that okay? — That's perfect. - Mist said as he kissed his little brother on the forehead.

This is some pretty old writing, I think from like May or something? You can tell from Cloud being an Actual Character, poor kid barely has any content as of late lol. Anyways, this is the very start of Mist's story! It takes place in the very first day of class at the KIT, a few weeks before the actual story, and I wanted to post it to show a different facet of Mist's personality, I know he can seem abrasive but it's a bit more complicated than that :]

Ballad of the fox

[brother-emperors]

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

I love the college of winterhold. everyone there is casually deranged and there's like an alarming number of students and staff who threaten you immediately when they meet you. it's always one of the first questlines I do. which makes it even funnier when you get made the arch-mage of the college. I'm level 12 and got through this questline knowing exactly 3 spells. what do you mean you want me to lead the college. this school CANNOT be an accredited institution

Maybe it’s because I just spent the last four days watching my sister’s toddlers while mildly sleep deprived, but I gotta say Peri has PEAK “childfree young adult who was the youngest person in their family naively volunteers to watch recalcitrant child assuming they’d automatically be The Cool Adult Relative only to realize they have no idea how to balance being indulgent with being responsible and gets overwhelmed within five minutes” energy
