"George did not move, or think, or hope, lulled into numbness by the premonition of disaster. The clock would tick on, past eleven, past twelve, and then Mrs. Cary would call down gently over the banister--beyond that he saw only tomorrow and despair."
- THE SENSIBLE THING // All The Sad Young Men by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"the novel as an effective instruments about a century old Ā  Ā  in this time novelists have uncovered perhaps a twentieth of the terrible truth about peopleĀ  Ā  the reason is, you cant write a novel from what you knowĀ  Ā  you have to have felt it, & those who feel what the world is really like are soon in madhouses - its intolerable."

Did I combine my major grade art project with my hyperfixation again by putting a quote from Tone Deaf by @lemonisnthere as my inspirational quote? Yes, yes I did. Was it worth it? Yes, absolutely. Is it a masterpiece? Clearly.

Still thinking about none houses left grief, and while I understand where people are coming from, "it took me out of the world" is just... Really not a relevant criticism here. Like, that line is SUPPOSED to be jarring. It is supposed to be kind of darkly funny, but the point isnt for you to laugh. Its not trying to be a punchline. The point of that line IS to "take you out of the world" because the point is that *this world isn't what you thought it was.*

Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.
My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.
We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!
You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.
Voting matters. The parties are not the same.
And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!
And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.
And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.

Lily: Does anyone know why James and Regulus are sitting back to back holding hands?
Barty: They got in a pretty bad fight, Reg is mad at Potter.
Lily: Okay but why the hand holding then?
Remus: James got scared that Regulus doesn't love him anymore, so that's their solution until they calm down.

Angela Orosco Silent Hill 2
#in anticipation of the incoming remake#i tried my best to imitate the SH font but#silent hill#silent hill 2#angela#angela orosco#theme of laura (reprise)#i've said it before but in spite of its occasionally clunky diction i think silent hill 2 is an unusually emotionally intelligent game#for any year and still today but especially so for where gaming storytelling was in 2001#and for as many pitfalls a story like hers could've dipped into i think it particularly shines through with how they treated angela#not just choosing to depict victimhood as something that can be ugly and fractious and open quote ā€œdifficultā€ but then this#actively rebuffing james for trying to be a white knight and dressing him down for it too#ā€œi know you mean well and want to help but this isn't a simple problem"#ā€œand it's really hurtful and a bit insulting that you act like you canā€#the switching to a first person view turning it into an address to the player as well#maybe even old videogame tropes too#ā€œthis isn't some princess in a castle kind of situation dude this is more serious than thatā€#it felt like a very deliberate statement about the depth and severity of a trauma like this#and in doing so showing it so much respect#then angela just leaves#and you never see her again#i really don't think it was to imply that it consumed her i think it was to underline what was just said#this isn't your problem to fix#this is where your part in this story ends#there's some strength in that
