Chapter 4: A Matter of Trust is here!!

Elrond and Celebrimbor discuss the night they had together. Elrond continues to learn new things. Celebrimbor frets a lot about the upcoming game. They're very cute and domestic <3

Enjoy enjoy! I will be responding to comments soon!

The only reason some “kid’s books” are called kid’s books is cause the trauma the twelve year old went through is never properly addressed.

Remembering that the Blue Knight technically had shape-shifting capabilities and I'm a little sad that we can't have that in more recent Astro Boy media.

Hell... I wouldn't even mind if they actually addressed the psychological and body horror aspects on the Blue Knight's part.

how do you need to be touched?

gently.

you need to be held as though you're going to break. you need someone to trace your scars like cracks in a wall, crumbling. their touch is almost painful; you've been without it for too long, without someone to hold you. but, you cannot bring yourself to pull away.

Been hammering and clattering away at a proper story-based project of sorts for a couple months now, and the vast majority of it is still a hot mess worthy of powering the worst nuclear reactor in existence. It kicked me down a certain type of radioactive rabbit hole, and while my brain has produced a lot of nonsense central to the tale of Broken Arrows and Half-Lives, the most comprehensible is this poem.

“Pinnacle”

This place is a message. Pay attention to it!

This is the pinnacle. This is the peak. The top of the mountain of possibility.

Here stands the edge of the great peninsula, where the waters start to rise to the mountains.

This is no place of honor. This is no place of greatness. Nothing worthy of glory is commemorated here. This place is hated and abhorred.

Here stands a place of comedy and tragedy, a place of contradictions.

Know the names of Mendeleev, Fermi, Rutherford, Seaborg, Oganessian.

Know of Berkley, Livermore, Dubna, Darmstadt, Riken.

Know of Los Alamos and Bikini Atoll.

Know of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Know of Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Know of what was. And is. And will be. And could be. And never can be.

For that is what I am.

Some may know me as the star Wormwood, he who poisons waters.

I am not him. But his name is my name.

I stole lives. I gave lives. I am a contradiction.

I am the Pinnacle. The Hydra. The Dragon.

Fear me, for I am the Devil.

Love me, for I am the Light-Bringer.

Hear my voice. I call. I beckon. My words here do linger.

Come to me, in your droves and your masses.

For in saecula saeculorum, I shall call, and you, in your numbers great, in your fear and fascination, shall answer.

losing everything I had, everything my personality consisted of for years. is that what aging is, isn't it? losing yourself to the machine constructed to strip you of any sense of life you can find and make you surrender to then exploit you until you're all drained and leave you to die all alone in the pile of ashes of what you once was??

last night we were too tired to think about writing so instead we went on astrophysics wikipedia to attempt to decode what electron-degenerate and neutron-degenerate matter is. cozy in my bed shouting about neutronium.

Up at 10:30 PM to try and catch some meteors, I think it's the wrong time and the wrong sky in my area to see any with my eyes. But what absolute joy, unadulterated wonder and openness to the natural world. I adore the earth and the stars and galaxy.

Those are my siblings up there, twinkling and burning and shing. I love them so so much. Infinitely yours, mine, everyone's, and never to be anyone's. These stars really have me feeling everything all at once, I feel comforted and loved even knowing there are some odd 110 meteors burning up in the atmosphere at every hour.

I can't wait for the summer to be out in the open in shorts and blanket on grass and so incredibly warm, too warm and not even close to how hot the stars are. And maybe that's the closest I will ever get to them in this body and maybe it's close enough.

Elrond and Celebrimbor talk about boundaries. Elrond learns several new things. Celebrimbor makes a suggestion.

Enjoy! :)

Those reddit posts did use a lot of words just to say "I have no imagination" or "I'm okay with being the mediocre scientist that bullies the Einstein-level brilliant mind on their biopic by mocking their 'wild baseless theories'" smh

people on the worldbuilding reddit will be like "for an animal to become sapient and form a civilization it would need to live on land, possess a large brain, and have limbs that are able to manipulate objects, proving that a humanoid body is simply the best and most likely shape for any technologically advanced alien" and not realize they're describing a parrot

Oof it’s been a while, but I’m still around. Mostly on Twitter and that’s here and there. Decided to just do a quick post and reblog some posts I lived but haves reblogged yet. On mobile so excuse any funky layouts if you see them. Might hop on my laptop and fix stuff up.

First off, my B-day is today! We’ll do something over the weekend but I just cooked some Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken and bacon. Sorry no pictures, I was hungry and the stove was a mess.

I did get this figure from my brother yesterday and the incense sticks from my cousins today. Also not pictured, three sets of PJ’s mom bought me (forgot to bring up the bag to my room when taking pictures) and some cash. I’ll be popping some popcorn and finally start watching PLUTO.

As for my scanning, I hope to start up Megamix Vol.2 before the month ends. I did scan a Kirby doujinshi but the author asked me to taking it down so I did. No Astro Boy/Atom the beginning scans are in the works and sadly PLUTO didn’t inspire anyone to draw any old man yaoi (that I’m aware of anyway).

Other hobbies, I’m want to get back into playing Sonic Frontiers mainly but I’ll have to fix my Tv stand back in order to do that. I’ve started reading The Drops of God and it’s pretty good so far! Also want to catch up on Saint Young Men but baby steps here.

Hm that’s all I can really rant about rn. I’ll be going on a reblogging spree eventually so I apologize in advance to all 5 (or more) followers I have. Lol

Let me assign you an aesthetic word

supernova

a supernova is a large explosion that takes place at the end of a star's life cycle. it's big, bright and beautiful, although quite sad. if you got this result, i wanna tell you that even if trauma still haunts you- even if you have scars, either on your skin or on your soul, you're still wonderful. you still shine, you're the most incredible work of art in the entire universe. give yourself more credit for all the stuff you've gone through, okay? i'm gonna speak for everyone and thank you for letting us be part of your life.

girl (neutral) help; I started thinking about betelgeuse (the supergiant star) and now I can't stop thinking about space.
