I swear, no one in my story gets threats of hospitalization and/or imminent demise levelled at them quite as often as Heinrich.

one thing about frank furter and elizabeth sparkle is that they do NOT play around when it comes to their homunculus creations that they harbor complicated feelings towards.

I had these weird recurring dreams I had in middle school that I mostly forgot but kept using as fuel for melodramatic daydreams where I was a secret agent slowly dying by poisoning or just me, a kid, dying slowly of brain cancer and it took me like most of a year to figure out that the reason all those angsty middle schooler daydream scenarios I was playing out in my head in the car or in bed at night had a strange edge of deja vu to them because they'd started out as barely remembered dreams. I think it clicked when I was sitting in an airport waiting to board a redeye flight to visit family. there's a certain feeling about sitting in an airport when it's dark out and you're tired. everything is a little bit off. it's a liminal space by definition but as a kid it has a strange melancholy to it that somehow I felt like I'd felt before, and it scared me. it wouldn't get out of my head. I didn't know it them but I was about to spend that entire trip, nearly two weeks, locked in that strange melancholy deja vu darkness. and the thing is that a part of me enjoyed it. was compelled by it. I was scared but it wasn't in a bad way. I called it bad dreams because I didn't have any other words to explain why it made me nervously excited to daydream my own death. it was a feeling of mystery, almost, and bittersweet. but the sweet in that word comes at the end. it was melancholy and I felt like I'd been there before and would die in that feeling. but I always wanted to know more about it. always wondered about the strange recurring dreams and imaginary worlds they sparked. there was always something fascinating about those to me. it always struck something in my emotions that nothing else really can.

and that's what listening to Circa Survive feels like to me

What's the extent of the conflict between Kvothe and Argar?

To be honest it's a complex relationship to explore. I'd say it could be boiled down to Kvothe needing a softer father figure, but honestly there's a lot of generational trauma involved as well. I'll try to summarize it the best I can

TL;DR: Strict traumatized father raises an approval seeking asshole

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Argar left his home at a young age after humans violated him as a kid. He was unable to endure the fact his own father did nothing to stop it from happening, so now he has crippling, untreated PTSD, fight or flight and constant suffocating anxiety.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Kvothe was concieved in a loveless marriage (Ryder scored the love of his life and married someone else out of misery) Since Kvothe came out as a boy, he had big expectations for him. Argar wanted him to grow strong and be able to cope or protect himself. He feared he couldn't be around all the time to protect Kvothe so he was really strict and hard on him, always forcing the kid to perform at his absolute peak.

Kvothe became a perfectionist but he's now a stuck up, self-loathing asshole who has no clue how to be gentle or kind to others or not constantly criticize everyone else like his father would do to him.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

As mentioned in a previous ask, Kvothe was pouched and Argar, unlike his own father, actually did something nasty about it and he was detained. Enough time passed that Kvothe realized that he isn't in constant misery when his father isn't around.

So Kvothe's inability to open up about his feelings led him to alcohol abuse, nicotine and self harm addiction, and a good amount of Depressive/suicidal Black metal (Like Father like Son, eh?). Kvothe became uncontrollable and Argar just disengaged in utter shame that he isn't any better than his own father, letting his son wallow in his misery in a completely dysfunctional household, without love or comfort and having no energy to raise his daughter either.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Now it's just arguing between them, Kvothe still seeking Argar's approval who absolutely loves his son with all of his heart but unable to express it. The conflict that led to them both being scarred was about Argar wanting to get Kvothe help by putting him in a psych ward or some rehabilitation program, and Kvothe absolutely refusing it. Physical altercations are kinda common between them but it's nothing too serious. Argar diffuses it by just not doing anything and letting Kvothe exhaust himself.

And now in the midst of the hardcore angst, I'll just leave these stupid bonuses here

Sasuke is Out! Sasuke is Doing things! What will Sasuke do?! I have no idea!!! I've never gotten this far in the story before, so I have no idea how things are going from here!!!! But Sasuke is Loose!!!!!!

Quoting this post to myself as I see Sasuke walking around and doing things. I haven't seen this guy do anything in like a hundred episodes. It's so exciting

[99probalos]

beach episode!

[like-wuatafauq]

Not to sound off-putting... however, the number of times I've had sex can probably be counted on both of my hands...and that was a very long time ago, and because of that, I fear that not only am i gonna go feral the next time it happens but also something much much much worse. Attached.

[anonprotagging]

paulo's interludes are so angsty though someone needs to sit down and have a talk with this moody little teenager (even though literally everyone has been trying) because jfc he loses like ONE battle and decides to base his whole personality around that. valid, but what a little worm to read about 🙄🙄🙄

[hihopelessromantics]

BOOM. FANFICTION

We have a dead OC haunting the narrative, we have absolutely soul crushing whump, we have hurt/comfort and a little sprinkle of hurt again at the end! What's not to love!

HELL YEAH! Another entry to the 7-rats-in-a-trenchcoat holy war cinematic universe!!!! Today is a gooood day

when I saw the mail icon I was like I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED YEAAAAAAA

today... is an even better day because we got more Saorise... I'm gonna cry.

You know, I didn't recognize that the "dead oc" was her until I saw her actual name, because in my mind she's still alive and running around as a vital part of the ten commandments. I haven't done anything but gently put her in the background of the daydreams with a cookie of her choice yet, because knowing she was Zeldris's only friend on top of being her own lovable self and now learning that she was a like sister to them both- my HEART 😭

i cannot touch that yet. it is holy. but one day, if I have your approval, I swear I'll make her a happy ending. bc that's what I've been doing since I was little for tragic narratives (Cough, cough, Darkstalker Legends, if you know you know) and now's as good a time as any to step up my game. just the prospect gives my heart the zoomies

me when a writer I love makes an oc and gives them the good angst: 👀 is mine to love? to cherish? to make fictional happy endings for? fictional happy endings that don't exist for the characters that don't exist, that are wonderful and die a horrible undeserved death that fits the themes and story so well my heart is screaming?

oh... so THIS is where that sketch is from...

can you tell I can't write tragedies but enjoy the themes and execution of them so much that I religiously read and corrupt them anyway? yeah 😍

[risingsunresistance]

i lied so hard on that old post of ppl saying they'd never been through this before and asking if it gets better and i talked about edd and said it does get better. i was 11 and did not process what happened and moved on and thought that i had "accepted it," now im 21 and actually realize what's going on and it is NOT getting better

[istherewifiinhell]

You know the things with working with young ppl who dont want to take their breaks and stuff cause they dont 'need' them. And someone will point out actually thats to everyone detriment. Lol. Well. Imagine that person has had the job longer than youve been alive.

Happy STS!! Could you share a fun fact, line, or character detail you really like but you think is quite subtle? - @trixierosewrites

Happy STS!!

I have never written anything subtle in my life <3

but maybe that's because I'm the dumbass writing it so I know what's there

but wait ok so, I shared a piece - what, a couple weeks ago now? - about Setareh who is an NPC in my dnd campaign and like. ok so that's just a short thing and doesn't have all of the context but essentially if my players were focusing they could, perhaps, tell that

Set already knew Aewyth before being in the cell

no one was particularly fussed when they broke him out and went on their merry way

he knew things that, considering they hadn't met him before, he shouldn't have known

also then Bituin rocks back up (and Citlali, when they met her) just. knowing things that he certainly shouldn't have known that they did traipsing around with Set

and part of this is on me! I am very bad at visual description and setting in stuff on the fly when I am telling the story rather than writing it, so I didn't start to mention the similarities this set of characters have in terms of like. I think they have the same eyes & other tells.

but like. I gave them this so;

 (Setareh is crowing, telling Aewyth that he’d told her so, that he’d seen this coming, that she should have listened like Aszaccixl had. She ignores him, as she’s probably right to do. This must look strange (he wonders, briefly, if he should depart and find Aszaccixl, and explain things, but this – this is so much more interesting)).  It is Carric, at this point, who speaks up with Aelfswild’s name, and Setareh crows even more because he knew it, he told her-  Aewyth shoots him a glare and he quietens, still grinning. She offers them a squad of men, just as soon as they return from… damage control, to take to Aelfswild’s base of operations, but they persuade her that perhaps it would be best if they went alone, so they didn’t arouse suspicion.

n ok that was the novelisation after the session, but I mentioned it in game as well lmao

But yeah. big fan of characters knowing things they ought not to, y'know?

I’ve noticed that people are very bad at seeing gray. Very, very bad. They’ll see gray and they’ll call it something else, anything but what it is
