I'm so interested about why Vincent and Marilyn are so similar and about what in their biographies haunt you.

first and most prominently: marilyn died when she was 36 and vincent died when he was 37. both of their deaths were considered suicides largely because in the immediate aftermath, men with specific vendettas were the first to write about them. for marilyn, that was norman mailer who had beef with marilyn's husband arthur miller. for vincent that was irving stone, who wanted, idk, profit i guess.

both deaths are likely to have been murders. for vincent, it's all but proven; his murderer confessed shortly before his death, but people are more eager to believe vincent was suicidal and perpetuate the "suffering = art" myth. i'm still researching marilyn's death, but it fell in a long line of assassinations of high profile leftists, and she was 1) married to arthur miller, who was constantly being hounded by the fbi for his ties to the communist party, 2) a political activist and vocal supporter of civil rights, and 3) she was "close" (sleeping with) with JFK and RFK, who were also assassinated.

both marilyn and vincent suffered from psychotic illnesses greatly worsened by substance abuse. for marilyn, that was barbiturates and sleeping meds. for vincent, absinthe. he also had a psychiatric form of syphilis and ate a lot of lead paint. both were institutionalized.

both marilyn and vincent were eager for (and driven by) widespread acclaim, and had an unwavering belief they would achieve it. unlike vincent, though, marilyn achieved her fame in life while vincent died before he could see it. you could argue that he's famous *because* he died. it's not like he was the first or best impressionist painter. his work was only accessible and his story was sad. his sister in law johanna also diligently kept all of his correspondence, so we have an excellent record of his life through the letters he sent his brother theo.

both marilyn and vincent wanted to achieve success for feats akin to, but different from, what they became iconic for. marilyn wanted to be taken seriously as an actress, not just seen as a brainless sex idol, but she died shortly after filming the Misfits which is arguably her best performance. vincent liked painting portraits, not landscapes, but he was fucking awful at it, and his brother theo told him repeatedly, hey why don't you do more of those pretty landscapes, to which vincent doubled down on portraiture, spending what little money he had paying random townspeople to sit for him.

both marilyn and vincent were raised in environments that prepared them for their future careers. marilyn grew up in california and was raised mostly by her mother's friend gladys, who groomed her into becoming the next jean harlow, which is exactly what happened. vincent's uncle got him a job at goupil, an art store, and so even though vincent was a talented writer, he was surrounded by art so that's what he did. his brother theo also worked at goupil and became a prominent art dealer. after theo's death, his wife johanna used those connections to put vincent's work into the world. i'm pointing this out not to diminish either of their accomplishments but to connect part of the reason they were so dead certain about their eventual lasting fame.

both marilyn and vincent have become commercial byproducts. you can find marilyn's likeness on products all around the world. you can find vincent's paintings on any item you can think of. their presence is so ingrained in society that i bet many of us can't identify when we first came into contact with their cultural presence. they enter our lives by osmosis.

both were extremely sensitive and emotionally distraught. both had tenuous relationships with their mothers. both had a family history of psychotic disorders that historians seem very eager to dismiss. both had religious backgrounds that deeply influenced their self-perspectives. both loved literature. both were deeply insecure despite the aforementioned professional certainty. both were lonely; marilyn had a series of husbands who mistreated and abused her, and many people find comfort in believing vincent had theo, but in truth, theo was simply the only one who didn't firmly cut vincent out of his life. i do believe theo loved vincent, but i also believe vincent pushed theo to his limit a number of times, and for his own health, theo had to push him away. after vincent's death, theo went mad with grief and died soon after.

to me, vincent's story is more haunting than marilyn's, because his murder is all but proven and its motives can be reasonably speculated about. vincent was notoriously heckled and bullied by kids wherever he went, because he was very overtly unwell and eccentric. a boy obsessed with american westerns shot him with a pea shooter, and although we don't know the exact circumstances of the shooting, i think it can be reasonably ascertained that he didn't shoot himself, although that's what he claimed in order to protect the boy from punishment, and also because he chose not to be treated.

but marilyn's great tragedy is that her addictions were basically forced on her. everyone in her life had a personal stake in her success, so they kept plying her with pills to help with her anxiety. everyone in her life was manipulating her in some way. i'm also personally interested in the fact she was a sex icon who notoriously had a lot of sex with a lot of people but all evidence points to her being asexual. obviously i can't put a label on her, but she's quoted many times saying she had no interest in sex. the caveat here is that there are no truly reliable sources on this front, not even her, because she often said whatever she thought people wanted to hear, even if it was an outright lie. she has some personal writing, though, which is possibly the only real insight we have, but i'm still combing through all of that.

i don't quite have my thoughts in order about why i'm so drawn to both of them. i guess the short answer is that i'm curious about the turns their lives took, how they were (mis)perceived, and the distance between their real selves and the work they left behind. society is so eager to believe they were people who suffered for erroneous reasons--they were talented, special, exceptional, and therefore tortured by their own unique gifts--and very few people seem to recognize that their deaths, regardless of the actual causes, are still the result of the way they were treated.

[ Chamber x Viper ]

Part-13

[ Gilded Gold and Harmless Poison ]

She was in his mercy. They were both on the dirty floor contining their buisness.

For the duration of their journey, they didn't reach home base but they were tipping past third base. His rough calloused hands knew what they were doing, and his perfectly timed ear-nibbling was the bane of her existence. He was quite handsy when Viper gave he consent, they slipped under a few layers of clothing a few times and performed what. Could be called magic. But as it was about to reach the crescendo– they passed the 40th floor– and he stopped.

"Aww~ Mes excuses Mon amour, it seems our stop is nearing." He whispered into her ear. Much to her disapointment. "But I do promise a bit more later on~." His throat rumbled.

He stole a small peck on her cheek as he equipped his Gass mask.

They both straightend themselves as they got ready. Vincent noticed her footing was quite uneasy and assisted her up. Viper just glared, it was much more a cute scowl to Vincent now. "This is your all doing." she mumbled, her ears witha shade of pink.

He chuckled. "Oh dearie~ you have no idea what I can do just yet."

***

Francois had almost lost his voice. These engineer he brought along were all useless. Life support was still on, but ventilation and the air conditioning have not. They short circuited. Probably from an EMP.

The guards have stopped their armors because eof the heat and wer eon the ground heaving from dehydration.

Until he thought it couldn't get worse– the three elevators opened. "Finally! Some help... Form out... Side?" He trialed off.

The three elevators were smoking with a thick fog. Until the guard came into contact with it, it seemed Harmless.

"It's tear gas!!!" Someone croaked in between coughs and sniffles. The guards surrounding them immdially rushed for their helmets. With their backs turned, they were easy pickings.

Bullets rained from the centre elevator as Vincent and Viper excited it.

Francois retreated into a dark corner as his guard dropped dleft and right. "Is he really the black mailer?" A feminine voice asked. Francois turned around to see Vincent removing his gas mask. "I'm not so sure–"

Francois opened his mouth. "Vincent! I'm you fathe—"

Ptew!

A bullet casing fell on the tiled ground. "—but he's dead now." he said, lending Sabine his arm.

Sarcastically playing along, She looked around in the room. It was a shit show. A dead blackmailer, over 200 tons of radiante hidden away in the middle of Santa Fe city– Viper thanked whichever Deity existed that this was Brimstone's mess to clean up.

***

They had long since separated from their hold and were looking around a clearly devastated base. In the distance was an attack helicopter already ready to leave.

None was waving with the speed of lighting. "Cmon! Hurry! The cops are already head here!"

Viper and Vincent arrived infornt of the helicopter. "Well Viper, that was a good chat." Vincent chuckled. "Take care everyone." He gave a soft smile and a two-finger salute. Viper gave a nod before boarding the helicopter.

Vincent watched them as they left and he escaped to the trees.

***

Phoenix was clearly pumped up, unlike his exhausted friends. "Man I can't wait till I get my own gun." He hummed.

"Shut up... 예쁜 소년 (pretty boy) ..." Jett slapped him on the shoulder, half-sleep and tired. Her head fell on the shoulder she just slapped. "Dang. I guess your tired huh?" He chuckled softly, putting his jacket over her.

Not a few minute later, he felt liquid pool on his shoulder. "G-Guys! S-she's drooling!" He tried to hold his laughter, taking a picture. "Also ew."

Yoru from across him scoffed, rolling his eyes. "At least the lady on your shoulder is drooling– mine's snoring."

Skye was indeed snoring, albeit slightly. Killjoy was giggling like a maniac, not long before Yoru threw that remark, Skye started to drool. "You jinxed yourself!"

You grumbled something bad in japanese. "Flower girl owes me a new jacket."

Brimstone was already brewing a non-fraternization lecture for those four, when he noticed a small mark on Viper's ear. Looking at her neck, there was a litter of hickies just by her collar. He will just pretend he didnt notice, she's responsible, not much of a concern.

His headache on how to fix the 200 tons of radianite underneath that compound was starting already.

Sova looked at the window. Now what? He proved his worth and he patched his mistake, it won't ever disappear but he did redeem himself. He can only with the best for Vincent, as he drifted to sleep unto sage's shoulder.

***

A month passed, the radianite issue has been handled by the government, Kingdom had been disbanded and like a thousand trials were held for the criminals of Kingdom. It was fun at first, but it got boring not too long after.

So Brimstone decided to hold a team dinner. In the now famous [ Harmless Poison ] restaurant. Ironically, he got Valentino's contact a few days ago and asked if he could reserve the restaurant.

Valentino was overjoyed and wanted it host it free of charge. Brimstone tried to argue–emphasis on tried– but Valentino shut him down by hanging up. All he could do now is to get the Valorant Agent's to France in semi-formal outfits.

***

In the restaurant, all nineteen agents were enjoying the self-service buffet prepared by Valentino and God can the man cook.

There was Japanese food, Chinese food, German food, Spanish food, turkish– all of the team's favorites were present. They all loved the food. Desert and alcoholic beverages were served after.

Sage raised her hand. "Uhm Valentino, aren't you uncomfortable with us eating this much food?" She was drunk, she's a lightweight, even for radiants.

He just smirked and waves it off. "I'm quite familiar as to radiants having large appetites."

Everyone turned to Viper, who just sipped her wine. "he's a radiant too."

They all gasped. "Really?!"

Neon jumped from her seat. A cool dude and a radiant? That's cooler. "What's your ability?"

Viper and Vincent smirked at each other. Valentino switched out his glasses and removed his contacts.

They were all shocked and struggling for words. Sova guffawed holding a whole bottle of vodka. "You're all idiots if you haven't noticed the similarities– ha! hahaha!— " and he fell of chair, still laughing.

Viper and Vincent laughed alongside him. Comtoher was just speechless and Brimstone just chugged his beer to digest this and the food he just ate.

Vincent then took a tray of champagne bottles from the back of the counter. "I also forgot to mention why we are celebrating, isn't that right, Chérie?"

They looked at Viper for an answer. She just sighed. "What my fiance is trying to say is— we're engaged." she answered, caressing the emerald ring on her left ring finger.

They all lost their shit. Sova was still laughing.

The End!

A/N: this was fun writing.

6, 9, 13, 20 please :D

6. Have you ever experienced anything supernatural?

I have! My school was built in the 1600s and it was a huge part of my country’s history, so it is pretty much filled with ghosts. I wish I had more stories to share (I stayed half a night once but nothing happened sadly), but I can tell you that I was spooked once. I was sitting at the classroom and it has this huge window leading to the rest of the school, and one day I felt like someone was staring at me from the window, which wasn’t uncommon, since the principal or the teachers do that all the time, so I paid it no mind. I caught the silhouette moving from the corner of my eye, and when I turned, I managed to catch the glimpse of a shadow walking out of the window. A shadow. Literally. The rest of the hallway, from what I could see, was completely empty, so I assume that’s what I saw. It was sooo scary/exciting at the same time!

9. What is your favorite kind of literature?

Non-fiction! Three of my top five books (In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi and The Armies of the Night by Norman Mailer) are non-fiction and I suppose that’s the genre I enjoy the most. I love how the authors take real situations and turn them into pieces of art -which was pretty much my whole motivation to study Journalism in the first place-, so beyond the fact the stories captivate me, they have a deeper emotional level, for they’ve even influenced my life decisions so far.

13. What’s your favorite scent?

Oh my god I don’t if we’re talking about perfumes or in general but by far my favorite scent is the scent of freshly brewed coffee. It’s just one of those smells which brings me comfort no matter the situation, I love it!

20. What is your dream job? 

To travel around the world writing and telling stories. I want to know, to learn, to experience different cultures, and to document that knowledge would be my biggest joy

Thank you so, so much for asking lovely! :D

Ask me a very invasive question! :3

[lyannawatson]

Counting down to season 3 by watching an episode every night. Better than an advent calendar! ;) So some random thoughts from yesterday’s episode 1. Warning: this is far longer than I meant it to be!

Marcy was so sweet :( 

I’m trying to remember to check all the death scenes - I’m sure there’s one or two where the director shouldn’t have known exactly when the host was going to die. Also, someone pointed out that the recorded time of death and the countdown clock could actually be different times - countdown being when the host is replaced with a traveler rather than their original death. I’d completely missed that so I’m seeing whether that changes anything.

Marcy’s: no clocks to check the time for Marcy but she’s on CCTV so obviously the director would know exactly for her. (And being distracted by Marcy being Marcy “that’s mine” :D I love how strong her and Carly are - all the female characters actually)

Trevor’s: recorded time of death is 11:06 and the clock behind them seems to match that. I’m guessing at least one person in the crowd was filming the fight so no problems with his TELL.

Philip’s: I swear there’s a clock that says it’s 12:something which doesn’t fit with his recorded death (11:35). I’ll admit to watching with my hands over my eyes though - I’m squeamish when it comes to needles. I don’t see how they knew when he was going to inject either. (And aww Philip - I wonder whether he’d have been better at the not-saving-people thing if he hadn’t had to let people die right from the start.)

Carly’s: can’t see any clocks to check when she dies. I can’t remember exactly what was going to happen though? I think Traveler 3465 says she was going to try and shoot Jeff but he overpowered her? If she actually shot a gun then I guess one of the neighbours could have heard and noticed the time? (I feel pretty bad for ignoring the original characters, watching them before their deaths makes me want to see more of them - “it’s baby food. He’s a baby, Jeff”)

Mac’s: I’m assuming he actually dies after he should have since Trevor stops him from falling. Then they keep him in the right place so he can be taken over so no problems there.

The ruok scene! I love Trevor 😂

Carly trying to look after her new son. I’d love to know how children grow up in the future ‘cause she definitely didn’t know any! (You’d think that would have been part of her training though)

David reminding Marcy that he can’t be her boyfriend is even better having actually seen that conversation in season 2.

And Marcy wondering what on earth is going on throughout the conversation is hilarious. “You just went home? Oh, kiddo, are you okay? Does it hurt?” She’s so confused.

“That’s cold, Philip” Don’t make him feel worse! And it’s even worse considering it’s Gower that says it :(

“Sure you don’t want to call your parents instead?” So that sounds like his parents are powerful enough to make a possible manslaughter charge disappear (they also managed to hide his drug use in the original timeline), I wonder if they’ll ever appear in person. And how Philip would react to them...

More of Marcy being bewildered by David 😂 and I hadn’t noticed before, but I can see why David doesn’t realise until she starts reading. She’s so confused by him that she keeps stumbling over what she’s saying. (That and “the naked thing”)

Oh God, Rene and Trevor... it’s so awkward, yet hilarious. I do wonder why Trevor doesn’t just break up with her though. I suppose it helps him with his protocol 5 but technically wouldn’t the timeline be more similar to the original if she wasn’t with him?

Marcy’s backstory. I know they probably had no idea they were going to add Vincent in there until season 2 but I like trying to make it all fit. So supposedly she lived in an institution until she was 18 when it was then shut down. David’s been her caseworker since her release.  In season 2, David guesses she’s 25 and says he checked but couldn’t find any record of her at the hospital she worked/was a patient at. Obviously Vincent got rid of those records, so he could also have added the ones from the institution. And perhaps everyone assumed she’d been moved to the hospital after the institution and they’d just lost the records? The release David talks about could actually be her release from the institution. Or he decided she was younger than he originally thought, the hospital was something she’s made up (since there’s no record of it), so he thinks she’s about 19 now. I need to check but I think Delaney says something about the blonde not being older than 20 - David’s just bad with ages ;) Though that doesn’t explain how she manages to become an x-ray technician (I think?) later on... help?

Philip and Ray do make me laugh. Was Ray planned so Philip could use him to get out of trouble? I’m still not sure what the technicality was that got him out (unless it was money?). Ray being a gambler was pretty lucky if it wasn’t planned. I love Philip using attorney-client privilege to tell him he’s a time traveler. And Ray just abandoning him to Gower later on. I hope we get more of Ray in season 3. He should be all over trying to get information from Philip.

Philip's lottery numbers are Trevor, Mac and his Traveler numbers (1, 15, 33, 26, 34, 68) plus 69 which is half of Marcy’s. I wonder which one wasn’t a winning number.

Mac telling Gower that Philip will be all Gower's tomorrow is rather ironic considering Philip will actually “belong” to Mac/3468 by then.

Marcy started kissing David to shut him up pretty quickly, didn’t she? I thought it took a few episodes.

I often see people complaining about Carly and her story line. I don't know why – watching her beat Jeff up is wonderful. Especially when she steals his car at the same time.

Gower didn't deserve to die! He was so nice in a grumpy grandfather kind of way :( It makes me miss the large fandoms where for every idea you have, there’s already dozens of fanfic on it. Imagine if he somehow survived, especially after Philip tells him all about choosing hosts. He could have been someone who actually cared about Philip outside of the team! This is actually the scene that made me start properly watching the show, I was only half paying attention before. Then Gower’s death (seriously, two people dying on Philip within two days. Both of which he could have saved but wasn’t allowed to - no wonder he struggles with it!) and Philip’s reaction = me hooked!

Original Mac was funny, for all that I’ve grown to love the stressed team leader I do miss the original version a bit. “Well, that’s a federal offence, Mr Mailer.” “Is it?” “No, I’m kidding” 😂

I love them all explaining to him what’s going on just before he dies. He obviously thinks they’re insane (I love his face expressions throughout it. I actually feel a bit mean for how much I enjoy how confused he is right before he dies) but it was a good way to keep him in the right place (and explain to the viewers how everything worked too).

Only 23 days to go until season 3!

However, that set may be based on a future Japanese set. We are also getting a special 25th anniversary set later this year that we know nothing about.

Each Eevee Heroes booster box contains 30 packs of cards Each pack contains 5 cards All cards in this booster box are Japanese Booster boxes are unopened & will arrive in original factory seal.

Eevee will also be on the booster pack, but since it’s not getting a Pokemon V in this set, it’s hidden in the background.Įevee Heroes will boast a high number of special art cards. Umbreon and Sylveon will be most prominent. My first box, ordering 1 box at a time did come in a bubble mailer. My box was good enough that I felt it warranted ordering a 2nd. The booster pack’s artwork will feature all eight Eeveelutions. Please note this item's price may vary, we are carefully following the Japanese market price to offer you the best price possible. The hits in this box were comparable to the Evolving Skies box I opened with all of the hits being the eeveelution V, Vmax, Full Art, and Alt arts I love in Evolving Skies. This is to appeal to fans who don’t play the actual TCG.
