#Faces That You Know

[blazichu]

Even though I've been posting other stuff, I have been working on Faces bit by bit. Part of what trips me up on it is that I kind of convince myself we're still in that phase that's super serious all the time, when we're firmly in the portion dedicated to recovery. We're allowed to be sweet and a little silly, now, because that's part of what recovery can look like.

Anyway, today's breakthrough culminated in this, which really does seem to illustrate the point.

I was trying to finish Faces That You Know up before we hit the one year mark, and I'm really sorry, but that wasn't in the cards. The idea of putting together a mini playlist had been on my mind for a little while, though, so I thought maybe I'd post that for the occasion.

This isn't a list that tells a story in and of itself; it's more what I listened to while writing, or what I associate with it after the fact.

Chapter 1:

We Were Here Together - Main Theme

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Eternal Oath

Chapters 1 & 2:

Bugsnax: Isle of the Bigsnax - The Space Between Worlds

Chapter 2 & 3:

The Zame - Emotion "An Unwavering Heart" Arrangement

Chapter 3:

Madeon ft. Dan Smith - La Lune (Instrumental)

Chapter 4 Sneak Peek too:

Porter Robinson - Everything Goes On (Instrumental)

Don't take that one at face hah value. Its story is unrelated, but the themes and general tone meshed well.

If you're all the way down here, thanks for indulging me! I'm hoping I can get the story finished up before too much longer, but I do have a tendency to get wrapped up in the details.

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

Guy who has wandered through the halls and corridors of your body not with any special kind of love but with the untold intimacy of a contractor assessing the damages and potentials voice: right, so the main issue here is that the body is currently a temple, okay, and what we want is for it to be a home, cause temples are pretty and all and occasionally nice to be in if you're into that sort of thing but very few people would actually want to live in one. So what we're gonna do first is you're gonna take a look at what's here, the carrying walls and windows and all that, and you're going to come up with something you'd actually like to be alive inside of, and it's going to be a lot of work and it's going to feel strange and stupid and embarrassing but you're still gonna do it, because otherwise this construction site is fucked. And maybe what you want to live in is a skatepark or an anime-themed cat cafe or an esoteric library that has a dildo section for some reason, so it might feel like it's a downgrade from a temple, but it's actually the opposite cause the main customer for a body is you and the main customer for a temple are templegoers and maybe higher powers of some kind, - i wouldn't know about those, they never hired me, - not the temple itself, which is what you are, right, cause the body/mind/soul separation doesn't actually do anything, so what you're gonna do is look at the current layout and dig out whatever hope and ability to want you have and come up with a blueprint, and then my boys can actually get to work. Oh, and you have got to change the windows, it's drafty as fuck in here.

The people against bows becoming a trendy fashion accessory has annoyed me sooo much lately. Saw a tiktok that was like “if you get uncomfortable with us saying wearing bows infantilizes women and supports the patriarchy, it just means you’re uncomfortable with us pointing out you’ve been engaging in a harmful trend/behavior 😌” aaaaaAAAAAAH people online are allergic to nuance

Listen, I love the "XL helps HC to see how beautiful he is" scenario as much as the next person... But I also see it like this.

I guess Chilchuck has brought us right back to 'adults who are short are child-coded and if you like them you're a pedophile' discourse huh

I need Battison to have a Robin.

I need him to carry around a little bundle of joy in his arms. I need him to risk his life saving him from the movie’s big bad. I need him to hold his tiny hands or cradle his tiny face. I need him to crack the smallest of smiles when Robin makes a pun.

I need him to walk into the penthouse, tired and anger and sad, and see his little Robin sprawled across the floor, giggling as his crayons draw him and Alfie and B—their little family.

I him to crawl out of the darkness with Robin. His Robin.
