Alien
Beam me up anywhere, so I might remember. Away from this pixilated galaxy. Away from the obscurity of stars’ shrieking rasps. How we drifted apart is not on gravity.Our grating language, both eyes speaking candidly of nothingness,truncated signals to send us off to the day, icy hands holding us as a divided one. Yet we paid no mind.This is how our world fell silent. The light in my window is…

What if I woke up one day and stopped being entranced and invested in goalies? Would be less depressed and more emotionally available? No, for I would still have the memories of sorrow and sadness, and the scars of heartbreak...

charlos? really? they don’t even like each other. sorry i can’t support you on this one
Anon you misunderstand me. I’m not compelled by them play-acting at besties in Ferrari PR videos. I’m compelled by Carlos enacting every inter-teammate warfare tactic known in the sport and Charles seeing it as foreplay.

I think Destiny really just wants to edit his Book, but there are- for that reason- NO WRITING UTENSILS in the Garden of Forking Ways.
..
Desire when Destiny visits: Well, hello, big brother! Is there anything you desire that I can get to make your visit more pleasurable?
Destiny: I desire a pen.
Desire: ... Srsly? :/
...
Dream: Destiny, it has been some time since you've visited my realm. Is something wrong?
Destiny:...
Dream:...
Destiny: You know... a pen would be a dream come true for me.
Dream: (-'_'-) Not this again.
....
Despair: Back again, brother?
Destiny: Yes.
Despair:... Is it about the pens?
Destiny: .... I think you know the answer to that.
...
(Delirium frolicking with electric butterflies while Destiny stands next to her.)
Destiny: Delirium. Apple.
Delirium: PEN!?

I was just ambushed within the turbulent halls of my own mind by some headcanons about rye ingellvar's childhood that did 15000000 points of psychic damage to me and my heart personally and also made me almost sure of how I want to play it all at the end (very very differently from how I imagined going in!). some 'oh holy fuck this changes everything' rocking my own world bullshit going on in my neurons right now I'm reeling
#I'm sorry to say that despite what I expected I think the dread wolf might be going down violently on my first run???#not because *I* love solas any less but because of who rye is and some of the twists I know happen down the line#which does make for a neat thing b/c I meant to play the crow I'm going with second as initially incredibly hostile#and then growing to feel for him and redeeming him at the end.#so if rye starts out very reasonable and sympathetic and then is brought to 'haha. no. fuck you forever for that in particular' at the end#...a pleasing cosmic symmetry in it I must admit. perfect and also makes me feel a bit sick#I'll try to put together something coherent eventually but for now#it's sort of a 'my name is ellaryen ingellvar you killed the guy#that my brain went 'close enough welcome back beloved and much missed deceased father figure' over. prepare to despair and die'#I think just the killing part might not have done it but everything that comes after? rye is a chill guy until he finally decides#that enough is fucking *enough*. and that was the most enough of all time for them#it also explains rye's accent (one of his primary caregivers growing up was a dwarf)! so many birds with one stone here#also I am so fucking sad now and I did it entirely to myself. I love fiction I love games (embarassingly genuine)#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#oc: ellaryen ingellvar#thank god that the romanced solas playthrough is the second one tho that does make things less dire haha#adaar would have given it the good old college try to get solas to change his mind right to the end I think#but even his capable hands and politician's mind could not hold back the sheer beware the fury of a patient man storm#that is about to hit solas for the shit he just pulled. I think rye and solas are -- as it turns out -- TOO alike in many ways#...solas buddy I'm so sorry I'll come back for you on the second playthrough and make it right I swear fhsak#it's just that a second dead dwarf dad has joined the chat to haunt the narrative (and this time it's fucking personal frfr)#it's almost scary how quick I've gotten attached to my rook tho. I've waited A DECADE to save this bald elf man from himself#and then rye shows up with steel in his normally kind eyes going 'no. I want that fucker *dead*'. and I just go anything for you babyboy#I'll see what we can do. unspeakable stuff

I've thought a lot about the several thousand year old gnome druid we met who was just bitter and jaded and had spent most of those millennia sitting in one place not doing anything in particular except mourning her tiefling wife who'd died millennia ago, and how disgusted and infuriated with her melliwyk is, personally but also as a gnome herself-- and I'm thinking about it again like. honestly I think it goes beyond general cultural values; that level of willful ongoing stagnation and joyless nihilism is probably completely seriously a gnomish sin
#melliwyk-- viciously and also meaning it from the bottom of her heart: you might as well just be dead.#zhartook- a baby druid who has inherited tana's sort of cosmic role- came away from that meeting with existential dread#melliwyk's just SPITTING FIRE angry about it. what a WASTE. what a WASTE of a LIFE.#I'll be lucky to get a few CENTURIES and it won't be enough to squeeze as much LIVING out of life as possible!#other people are lucky to get even just a handful of decades!#and YOU!! who ought to KNOW BETTER!! don't even have A HOBBY?? you're sitting here talking about how POINTLESS EVERYTHING IS???#you married a tiefling and act like outliving your loved ones is uniquely tragic for you? like you wouldn't have done that anyway??#... ah I got possessed by mel's anger for a sec there gfkjhgfd. point is I think the real core of the most important gnome values#is that being alive and being a part of the world is a gift that you're meant to delight in and make the most of#it's your PURPOSE to seek joy and fun! it's your PURPOSE to INTERACT with the world creatively and inquisitively!#there's something almost blasphemous about PERMANENTLY and WHOLLY surrendering to despair#something heretical about talking confidently about how little anything matters and so there's no point in caring#tana's probably got turbo depression but her own hot take was just 'yeah kids this is what being alive this long does to you lol'#and mel is like. no I think you're just really fucking bad at it. like are you aware people are still writing new books#my OCs#melliwyk#gnome stuff

On Despair of the Endless:
Tumblr media
Desire: Here my darling, look what I have got for you. Mortals to love and admire you. To praise your name and sing songs in your honour. To dedicate their miserable little lives to serving you. You need never lack for attention or affirmation again.
Despair:......
Two Years Later:
Tumblr media
Despair: Thank you Desire, their anguish was delectable.
Desire: That's not quite what I........I'm glad you enjoyed them my twin.

“You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.” ― Carl Sagan, Contact

with the square enix tweet about a ffxiii remake i do not think any final fantasy title needs an actual remake when the old graphics are genuinely just fine but the lost trilogy of games (xii, xiii, xv) that were made when square enix was going through some dramatics under unfavourable circumstances, like xiii being made before the in game engine could render full maps, having boosted upgrades for new consoles and pc where they add in extra missions or lore would be fine and a good way to restore the prestige of the final fantasy line of games.
ffix and ffv could also have a remake because both games are very light hearted and a more stylized artstyle could do a lot to draw in younger gamers or allow family play

You know that kind of crying you do where you’re just making that shivering, huffing breath on the edge of noise? Yeah. I’ve watched this game twice and that ending goes right through me sharper every time. It’s beautiful and it’s painful. If you can’t play the game this fellow did an excellent job keeping me company while he played.

#today i had a pianist during a rehearsal go “wow your voice you just have so much natural talent i mean some people really work for years—”#and i kinda snapped#and i was polite but also i unloaded the entire story of the last thirteen years in the cosmic joke that is my life#this lady got thirteen years of trauma in a twenty minute speed run#she Learned Things today about existential despair and the societal clusterfuck that is the Trans Experience#and how that intersects in the classical singing world in an incredibly challenging and fucked up way#and how i went from scooting under the door into a voice program with seven lessons under me#and then three years later proceeded to fling myself into a testosterone fueled vocal puberty in the midst of a professional singing degree#and lost the respect and support of most of the vocal and choir faculty because everyone thought i was committing professional suicide#if it werent for my own voice teacher (who at some point became the mother figure I'd never had) keeping me afloat i would not be here#i have c-ptsd from the shit i went through in the choir department#i had to drop out of school for a semester because my body just folded under the stress#i started getting migraines severe enough i was hospitalized twice with stroke-like symptoms#two weeks ago i had a former teacher from the early days deadname me in front of our colleagues#she tried to play it off as no big deal and it just reminded me no matter how successful i become in this field#no matter how much work i put in to overcome my past#its always going to come back and find me through people who refuse to learn respect#and somehow! im still here! im making a living in the field i trained for#how many people in my generation in the arts degree sector can say that?? by some metrics i am thriving but jesus goddamn#i clawed and fought and bit and dragged myself to where i am right now and had to find my voice TWICE and the worst part is#she meant well#the pianist i mean#and i was polite when i told my story but it was so important to me that she understood#no amount of talent would have gotten me here without sleepless nights and long hours and blood and sweat and tears and you know what#maybe i am a better person for it but dont compliment me by implying i have some inherent gift from a god i dont even believe in#dont tell me your god put me in this place to teach other people compassion#i didnt brush the door of death as many times as i did for the sake of someone else's enlightenment#its been a long 13 years. hell its been a long 2023. in the last eleven months ive had a fundamental upheaval#of everything i thought i knew and understood about myself#so yea im standing at the gate to hell looking the devil in the eye. try me bitch. ive endured worse.

#theres this feeling i get sometimes. i find it very hard to articulate. its part despair and part awe. dispair at how beautiful the world is#all those intricate little process coming together to organize the chaos. i dont kno y i feel it so deeply or y it hurts so much#because its just. no matters what horrible things r going on in the world. ur body is this miraculous collection of chemicals and reactions#mobile containers of water with a history that spirals back billions of years. and you can hear and see and experience and reflect#and when you die the world goes on spinning without you. if we as humans destroyed this planet past the part of our ability to inhabit it#it wouldnt even matter. there would be continued life past humanity. cosmically we r tiny and insignificant and we dont matter#but were beautiful and wonderful and infinity complex and knowing that leaves me in agony. because i want to kno everything right now but#mind is too small and i walk around with the disorientation of someone whos just been hit in thr face ans i cant focus enough to read#cant make the words make sense and i cant justify the time it would take to try. so i sit on my deck. in the sun. crying as i think about#how the light hit the grass in my front yard the last time i was home. how the cliffs in the backyard are ringed with red lines of iron#separated out as the water leached through the sandstone. how every avaliable surface is stained green as organisms reach upward toward#the sun. and its beautiful and i dont kno y im crying. maybe its bc i cant just throw everything aside and chase that feeling. im not#allowed to feel it. im not allowed to talk abt it in the way i want. bc im afraid no one cares as much as me in the same way. bc when i#talk abt what i study its obscure and academic and so far from what most ppl think abt that they get intimidated and dont try to understand#so i just try not to talk abt it. or maybe im just afraid. bc i have my 1st TA meeting tomorrow and i meet with my new advisor friday#and im worried and im afraid i wont b able to do this in a way that doesnt make me feel like im dying. bc i like to b busy and i like having#a strict schedule but if u throw me that knife im going to stab myself with it bc i dont kno how wield it as a tool without hurting myself#sure ill get the job done. but at what cost? whatever. ill try to b better this time. try to hold tight to the wonder. but that feels like#reaching out into forever. knowing ill never make contact. not knowing what im reaching for.#the closest approximation to the feeling i can find is that scene in the terror. where go0dsir is asking if god is there. any god. and it#doesnt matter bc he can see god in the landscape. in an environment that's so harsh and barren that its killing him slowly in the worst of#ways and its beautiful. its still beautiful to him. there is wonder here. and im wasting my time laying in a dark room crying bc i put#myself into a container so constrictive that the surface snaps and i come spilling out as an angry liquid. smearing away into nothing#unrelated

Before they left for Ultima Thule, Ptolemy, Liios's younger brother, told him calmly it was going to be fine because if they were going into a nest made of pure dynamis, then in theory it would be a battle of will. And Liios was Freaking Out because he was a scientist and how could we counter something we cannot quantify?!
Ptolemy said, "Do you remember, when we were younger, you used to agitate an older student so much that he came down with a fever because no matter how thorough or clever his rebuttals, you would simply say, 'No you are wrong'?"
"Why are you bringing that up? I did apologize," Liios replied.
"Because you've always been the same person. You have gotten better and wiser on compromises, but the hills you choose to die on are littered with the bodies of those who think they can defeat your conviction with something as trifling as 'facts'," Ptolemy said. "It is more puzzling to me why you're worried about dynamis all of a sudden when you've outlived an innumerable amount of stupid arguments by simply saying 'I don't care, I'm right.'"
"But that's not the same as going to face a creature made of pure despair!"
"But is she, my brother? Was she made of despair, or had she simply fallen to it? You yourself told me of the hope her creator put into her, when he sent her to the stars. If she was a creature made and not born, isn't it possible that the core of her hasn't changed, after all these millennia? Even at the bottom of the Sea of Souls, Amon struggled with the nihilism he had apparently arrived at."
Ptolemy told Liios, "The reasonable, rational choice when it came to me would have been for you to let me die there in our homeland, and bury me, and grieve, and move on. Yet you severed yourself from our home, went against everything you had ever known, to carry me away for the chance that something or someone could save me.
"I wouldn't have hated you, if you had not taken me away to Old Sharlayan. In death I would have been beyond pain, beyond suffering. But in life I am greater and so are you. We were afforded the chance to meet better people, become better people ourselves. You seem to forget, but you saved more lives than you give yourself credit for." Ptolemy looked at him. "Now, setting forth to save everyone, is it even possible for you to fail?"
No. Of course not.
"I want to ask you something, beg you for something," Ptolemy said.
"Of course. Anything," Liios replied.
"I want to live. I want this star to live on, and you to come back to me."
"Yes, I can do that," Liios said.
"And on the way home, please make the Loporrits map the stars for me. This might be the one and only chance we get of being able to see the universe this close up."
"Yes."
"Will my request suffice as a protective charm, for the road?"
"It's a grocery list."
"It is not. But if you want to call it that, fine, be sure to grab some stellar rock samples for me, too. And cuttings of any plants you think might survive the journey."
(It was a GREAT charm for the road.)
