Ed Byrne: Tragedy Plus Time at Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh review - grief has inspired his best ever show
"Onstage Byrne is clearly fired up by emotion. The script is exquisitely crafted, with early lightweight asides taking on a heavier significance later. There is never a dull moment...With Tragedy Plus Time Byrne has hit new heights. A fitting showcase for Ed, a fitting tribute for Paul."

Something I wonder about Simon and Betty's relationship is how long they were together before the whole crown ordeal. But they were engaged, you say. My aunt (in)famously met my uncle and had a ring on her finger in 8 weeks. We've seen that both Betty and Simon were both weird outcasts, crazy determined and a pinch insane. I would not be surprised if they decided they'd met their one true love and got engaged super quick.
My point being, Betty's shifting to revolve around Simon and Simon's rose colored glasses of their relationship feels very much like New Love. They're people who love each other and love being a couple but still haven't quite figured out how to coexist together, as two people in a partnership. I feel like if they'd known each other longer, lived together longer, some of the issues we're seeing would have probably self resolved.
I don't think their relationship is toxic nor is it totally perfect. It's two lonely, most likely neurodivergent people in a relatively early relationship still figuring out how it works. Everything that happened afterwards: the crown, the seperation, the time travel, the magic/madness/sadness just exemplified issues they had both as individuals and as a couple.
#fionna and cake#fionna and cake spoilers#simon petrikov#betty grof#in the tags its either#'oh they're toxic' or 'owo literal soulmates'#but i think its both more simple and yet more complicated#its struck me from the very start that they were eternally engaged#they never got to be married they're still stuck at this in between milestone#plus the way they act/talk around one another it HAS that new relationship vibe#If i were to guess they were each other's first romantic relationship#they loved so hard but they didnt really understand how it worked (mood)#if tehy'd had time and space like normal people yeah I think they'd have been fine#unfortunately all manner of bs got in the way and they never got to resolve some of these issues#it doesnt make one right over the other it just adds another layer of tragedy to their story#they only had time to get to know each other -to really feel understood- before it was taken away#Artists call betty 'simons wife#but its soooo important to me that they never made it that far#a flower that was plucked before it had a chance to bloom#anyway just my thoughts#petrigrov forever

I pray that for every "Lichdom is actually Emmrich's bad ending" I see I get a beautiful fucked up lich Emmrich fanfic in return <3
#people absolutely cannot handle it when there is anything more grey than a bad tm and a good tm ending#neither of his endings are bad or good they both require tragedy and they both help him come to terms with death 😭#i cant take people going BUT HE IS ESCAPING HIS FEAR WITH IMMORTALITY anymore#did you play the fucking game#he literally has to risk dying to become a Lich. there is no guarantee it'll work whatsoever. that's the whole point#PLUS he has to let Manfred go#interpret that it's his bad ending for any reason you like EXCEPT that one. you just didn't care to listen to the dialogue 😭#anyway shoutout to this game for being the first game ever to make me care about a romance#I'm ususally disinterested to get annoyed about most romance scenes that don't include spicyness or character development#so many times romance feels so fucking unnecessary. because I'm aromantic. but friends with benefits isn't an option in games#no i have to date ugh#Emmrich though. I felt that. I thought it was cute. And I was even somewhat flustered and emotional about him. <3 best old man#and now it's time to play with that glamour >:)

Who is your fav walking dead character also besides Clem x violet what other walking dead ships do you like?
clem easy shes been my fave since S1 for personal reasons i really connected with her 😭 her going through so much and still getting her happy ending is so important to me. tired and depressed characters getting their happy endings means everything to me 🥺
im not really a "shipper" and the only canon romantic relationship im invested in is violentine. others are fine or cute enough i dont have any Strong opinions on any of them. vinerva is the first time ive ever been invested in a divorce tho. yeaaas girls break up with each other 🥳 !!!
#vi close second fave but clem will always be number 1 easy#even tho i love other characters clem and vi are just near and dear to me :') my beloveds#vinerva is so tragic thats why i love it. minnie is committed to her own downfall. vi has to stop mourning her and blaming herself#to let go and embrace the love thats been around her this whole time. maybe even let herself fall in love again. and to fight for it#like the whole Point of their relationship to me is that it ends in tragedy (twice). and violet moves on. becoming a stronger person#plus it Was confirmed by kent their relationship was unequal im glad vi moved on and was able to find an equal love w clem instead#(who Also just wants a partner she can rely on. and she CAN rely on vi 😭 theyre perfect)#RAAA I LOVE VIOLET RAAAA my beloved 😭 and i love minnie as the tragic character she is#the clem vi minnie dynamic will go hard forever#twdg#replies with lexi#incognito

It’s my birthday
#I always feel conflicted about my birthday#but the past few years I’ve tried to celebrate it more#and even tell people when it is lol#but it’s hard for me too#cause I’ve historically had a lot of tragedy around my birthday#and losing Zero last week really hit me hard#plus some other things in my personal al life that makes me nervous about getting older and the passage of time#but I’m still gonna try

What are some ttrpg's on your game wish list? Ones that you'd want to play or plan to play (or maybe don't have time to). also as a side note your love for ttrpg's fills me with a lot of joy and reminds me why they're so special! : )
Inevitable: COWBOY KNIGHTS TRAGEDY this is number one i wanna play this so bad with a crew who will watch a few anti-westerns and arthurian films beforehand and fully commit to the tragedy aspect (big bold decisions if you know it ends in tragedy!) oh my god this specific flavor of game appeals to me a little too specifically
some kind of horror game. VTM, Curse of Strahd, Shadow of the Demon Lord, Call of Cthulhu, whatever lends itself to horror well. the horror genre is one of my favorites and i would so be down to play some good horror!!
MASKS as a PC!
and always more dnd.
uhhh I'm sure there would be other things but I don't know many ttrpgs off the top of my head. quite like ttrpgs. would very much like to play more. especially with a group of artists who will post dodoles and songs that remind them of characters and talk about them throughout the week and do psychological deep dives and theorize about the story and themes and and and
#ask biji#ttrpgs#i wanna play something with some Consequences Mechanics#or mechanics that spur the players/characters into bold choices!!#if yall have ttrpgs you like please recommend them to me#i wanna play more things so i can grab all the things i like from them#can you do good horror in dnd? does horror not require a little more of a sense of powerlessness?#i think horror ttrpgs need more consequence mechanics maybe#artist groups are great but i realize i am also biased because all the rp groups i made in the past had an artist lean#everyone in my dnd group draws and it's a huge plus yum yum yum#maybe it's because the extra time spent drawing characters that leads to more intensity?? i dunno but i think that's my problem/gift haha#oh and on Inevitable i don't think committing to the tragedy means it's all sad and dower all the time#it should be fun and funny but you know. the inevitable... yeah#i just want some cowboys to have philosophical conversations around a campfire and getting their clothes stolen while bathing in the river

#this year just feels weird. im selfishly not saying ~rawr so awful or tragic#because there are things ive achieved this year that im proud of and that were long due#im so happy i did that masters course and im so glad i landed a job that pays well even though its torture on my nerveous system#my mind is forever free from academic guilt and pressure#and i can afford things that nourish my soul and body when they werent accessible before#so this is the firm acknowledgment of the fact that im lucky and have an objectively good life#part of which i was given and nice parts i actually worked my ass off for#and for the first time in my life im at a stage where its all … freestyle?? lmao like ok girl you did the things now find new things to do#and theres none hehehe just human connections that are harder to build than a cv or a thesis defense and doesnt only depend#on the effort i put in#but also on how the stars and planets are moving or idk#plus i just remembered how my sister told me that the reason why i kept procrastinating on my diploma was bc it was an excuse to not grow u#and now the universe is kicking my ass all year to make me realize that i need to change and grow and build a life i could settle in#because this bitch!!!! took 3 of my 4 closest friends and made them move countries and get married or in one case just simply get over me#and not to make everything about me but its how humans work okay so ofc im internalizing a lot of other tragedies as new signs#from the universe screaming at me#to get away from the parasocial bonds that give me so much joy but also affect me too much#like LAUGH AT ME all you want but ive been wanting to see ts live since 2009#and the only thing that kept me up in exam season at 4am was me and my friend sending outfit inspos to each other#like its silly i know but when that show got cancelled and i was hysterical i kneew the lesson was to grow up and stop investing so much#into lovely but also relatively short moments of my life#because i should be able to#look forward to other things after graduating than the eras tour but i WASNT okay#and i dont have to elaborate on how liam’s passing has been affecting me/us so i wont#but fuck that was a cruel reminder - to make things about me again- that though i can talk about this with friends on my phone#until my retina burns out or melts or idk what retinas do#i still dont have ANYONE in my phsyical proximity who would understand this pain and thats partially on me#and then my 85+yr old grandma got covid AGAIN for the 3rd time and my god she got better but in case i forgot she wont be with me forever#and i reached the tag limit so thats it anyway weird year very weird dont know what it wants from me#to the void

on may 16th, 2011, baby writer fuchsiamae (17!) came off anon for the first time, to post ch1 of a fic called "defrosting."
afaik this was the first cave/glados fic. around 5k words total, still on ffn. it was my first attempt at a multichapter, the longest thing I'd ever written at the time, and I was so proud of it. for a while.
then I grew past those baby writer skills and was embarrassed by its quality, but I could never let go of the concept. I knew it deserved to be done better. "glados finds cave johnson in cryo" burrowed into my brain like a fucking prion, and every year or two I'd try to write it again, and every time I'd fail without getting very far. until this time.
thirteen goddamn years later:
the complete rough draft of this fic is over 80k words.
the complete first draft of act 1 (of 5) is 30k words. which, terrifyingly, is double its length in the rough.
the first edit of ch1 (7k words) should be ready for my beta readers later today.
I'm not going to rush myself (or my extremely patient betas), so I don't have a release date, but I'm thinking a month or so would be a reasonable expectation.
and I've finally settled on a title:
Tragedy + Time
#endless cavedos bullshit#tragedy+time#a title tag! look at that!#still not 100% decided on “+” vs “plus” but i think i prefer the look of it

Life is Strange 2 fan (me) who heavily favours the Redemption ending because I’m obsessed with horrendously unfair things happening to my favourite characters…
#I am not immune to that bittersweet ‘the time we lost’ vibe#like look at my favs…#Shadow the Hedgehog…Lelouch vi Britannia…Epsilon…#and Sean Diaz#we got a lotta tragedy#plus I love mad time skips and the idea of the post-release 15 years later timeline is so interesting#Life is Strange 2

Unfortunately even if ai bros dont target your style by name, if its in the dataset with certain tags (even just ‘fantasy character’) it could still be used 😢
I just hate AI so much 😭 like fine, I’m a hobbyist, in theory it doesn’t affect me much. But the way it targets people’s careers is just wrong. Just another way to exploit creatives who never had it easy to begin with. Not to mention the environmental effects.
#replies#not art#I’m just tired#how did we go from nft scam to ai this quickly#can’t even catch a break#not to mention all the other tragedies happening in the world at the same time#plus layoffs and crisis#fun time#just sending lots of love to everyone affected

if i want to write anything historical I'm so obcessive about the details. like 'omg i can't set this story in ancient Rome. what if I get some detail about Roman fashion wrong? it would be so embarassing!'
Meanwhile Shakespeare was like 'Julius Caesar's violent seizure of power and subsequent rule by force? haven't heard of it. my little meow meow would never.'
#list. i love the play julius caesar. but uh. it is.... not very historical#julius caesar is shakespeare's problematic fave lol#no but also it's super interesting bc the play was written in a society that wasn't a democracy so also their view of those historical#events was very different than ours would be. it's actually super fascinating.#plus of course there were censors in that time so shakespeare wasn't gonna write something saying 'yeah murdering someone just bc he wanted#to be a king was honorable.' tho i do genuinely think the play is also due to his views being impacted by the societal context he lived in#and not just censorship#still one of my favorite plays tho. to be clear.#the tragedy of julius caesar#Shakespeare#random musings

man does anyone else just constantly forget neji died?? i was rewatching the war arc and got to it like HUH OH YEAH like i remember shikaku and inoichi more than him because i just didn’t like the writing for his and repressed it too much so now whenever i see any reference to it my brain blue screens for like 20 seconds straight
#it simply does not compute#like don’t get me wrong im into tragedy and well written character deaths ALWAYS get me#but idk i just thought neji was a poor choice if you HAD to kill one of the konoha twelve off#not that i WANTED any of them to die but i do think someone else would have been a better option#or killing off more than one would have balanced it better#and then it was also just how it was crammed between all the other big events so we had to rush past it#shout out to the fillers always knowing naruto deaths aren’t striking hard enough and giving the dead characters more significance lol#can always tell someone is about to die when the fillers start giving them all the meaningful moments rip#idk though even the folllow up grieving and references just didn’t add enough#plus how it kind of just contradicted the main goal of the series idk#i just don’t like it so my brain is just like what death???#probably would stick better if i ever rewatched post war or if i watched boruto though#but i dont so i continue to relive the ‘wtf why :/‘ every time i remember it lol#naruto shippuden spoilers#naruto spoilers#?????#does anyone need that tag???#idk i added it in case

okay im 6 episodes into fellow travelers and damn this really is a WHOLE different thing than the book. like they kept a FEW of the same characters and like some of the very most basic foundations of it but d a m n they changed SO much
#im honestly kinda disappointed?#like i wish it were closer to the book#also theres not nearly enough mary in this smh#but yeah they like. did not get the dynamic between hawk and tim right.#its weird in the show. it feels like they got it backwards#like in the book tim is very much the one that is obsessed for lack of better word with hawk#and hawk is very blase about it and tries to play it cool and not show his emotions/feelings about their relationship#but in the show it feels like hawk is the one thats obsessed with tim#also lucy has a WAY bigger way EARLIER role in the show than in the book and im not a fan tbh#i thought she seemed sort of sweet in the book and like understanding in a way. but show lucy is very much neither of those things lol#also the whole aids storyline..... that.... Does Not exist in the book#like they actually make it a point to say that tim DIDNT have aids#so like to add that into the show and to make it a BIG storyline in it too.... also not a fan#plus the way they have hawk like visiting and heping tim when in the book he literally Does Not see tim again before he dies#i feel like that just kinda takes away some of the tragicness of the books ending!!#its obviously a different kind of tragedy in the show but yeah idk it hit harder in the book i feel like#also i am enjoying this b plot of the writer dude and the drag queen but that was defs not in the book#also tim NEVER met hawks children ever so it feels very weird to see him like. spending time with hawks son??#fellow travelers#mack reacts
