#but at the end of the day i like to think ppl come back to a few scenes sometimes

[bloo0o0]

(I don’t normally post on social media let alone tumblr but I need a place to document this so it doesn’t leave my brain) I know a lot of ppl have speculated as to if Rhonda’s body was actually the skeleton or are confused about how police couldn’t find her body but I think people are ignoring the emotional purpose of that scene for Rhonda. I think that after she found out Maddie isn’t actually dead, that she has a body and a life to go back to, she got angry and sad because she doesn’t.

She’s been dead for 60 years and has no way of knowing what happened to her body bc she’s been trapped in that school. I think police did find her body (bc like she was murdered in the middle of the school day and I doubt Mr.Manfredo could’ve hid it without anyone seeing) but she doesn’t know if she was cremated, buried, donated to science, for all she knows her body could’ve been used to create a scientific breakthrough but she’ll never know. Even if they somehow didn’t find it, it’s been rotten and decomposed for decades. Everyone she ever knew is probably dead or is on the brink of death. She has no dorm waiting for her at Berkeley. She is estranged from not only her body but the life she had and was going to have. And she’s bitter and sad!!

I think people ignore that she was one of the first ghosts there. She died in 63’ (abt 5 years after Janet and Mr.Martin?) and she didn’t seem particularly close to them. Even when she was alive she didn’t really have anyone except her guidance counselor who ended up grooming and killing her and her best friend who she thought blamed her for her own death for like 50 years. Because of this she pushes everyone away and feels extremely lonely (bc this is how she has learned she is meant to be bc it keeps her safest). I mean hell when she did try and branch out she was groomed and betrayed AGAIN. Even when dead her teachers moved on fast (and couldn’t bring themselves to talk bad about her murderer) and her classmates mocked her.

Then here comes Maddie. She is likable and connects with everyone easily. (Not saying Maddie has had it easy by any means this is just from Rhonda’s perspective) and now she has a body to go back to. A life and family and friends she gets to be with again. And Rhonda is still wasting away. So she is projecting on that skeleton bc she wants to feel closer to her body. Because if she’s closer to her body she’s becomes more tangible, is closer to the living.

Reading the Iliad, Book 19 thoughts

This is my first time ever reading it and I know next to nothing abt greek mythology so if I interpret anything wrong by all means pls correct me

Im reading the Robert Fagles translation

Achilles and Agamemnon were acting really damn lame in this book

Thetis meets up with Achilles and lays his new armor at his feet. Achilles is face down still crying over Patroclus's body.

"He's gone bro 😐 get up" - Thetis

This armor is so divine and shit mortal men can't look at it for too long be it glistens so bright

So now Achilles is all set to head into battle

but Achilles doesn't want to leave Pat's body bc he fears that worms, and flies, and all that will defile his corpse

Thetis tells her son, to not worry about that bc she will make sure no decomposition sets in and Pat could lie there for a year and his body would still be fresh

Achilles calls a meeting between the men in the camp

All the important ppl show up. They're like all injured tho

Achilles starts talking to Agamemnon abt how their fight was really stupid and how he wishes Artemis had struck Briseis down with an arrow the day he stormed Lyrnessus.....

Just die already, Achilles.

Because it was so obviously her fault and not the actions of the childish men who now control her entire life😀

Achilles you got an arrow coming your way too my friend

So Agamemnon (Yk the one who really started it all and later took responsibility for to) says "Yeah the gods really robbed us of our senses for a moment there😕."

FOR 19 BOOKS????

LITERALLY BLAMING EVERYONE BUT THEMSELVES

JOJO HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?

And he STILL gives Achilles all the shit he offered him in book 9

Odysseus gets up in front of everyone and pitches to the idea that Agamemnon swear an oath to the gods and to everyone else that he never raped Briseis.

Odysseus, I would think you would fucking hate oaths considering the last oath you suggested everyone make

Achilles really wants to go fuck up the Trojans like NOW so he basically says "No one eats until we avenge Patroclus😡"

But Ody tells Achilles that they all should eat so they can have the energy to fight in the first place and runs off to grab Achilles' gifts

One gift being Briseis herself

Agamemnon swears the oath. (His ass was probably lying)

The meeting ends and everyone goes back to their tents

Once Achilles and Birseis enter his tent, Birseis see that Patroclus dropped like a fucking fly

She begins to cry and beat at her chest. Somewhere in the middle of all that she says "Patroclus, you never let me mourn my husband and brothers when Achilles murdered them and you promised to make Achilles marry me. You were always so kind🥺."

I GUESS NO ONE TOLD HER??

Anyway girl don't cry, one of your oppressors is dead. Celebrate.

Agamemnon, Nestor, Menelaus, Odysseus, Idomeneus, and Phoenix are still trying to get Achilles to eat be he refuses out of mourning for Patroclus.

Achilles laments that Patroclus would always serve them a meal but now he can't anymore.

oh....😭

Achilles has such a way of making you hate him all the while feeling bad for him.

He says that even should he learn of his own father's death (Peleus), the pain would still not compare to what he feels for Patroclus's death

THEN Achilles says that Patroclus was supposed to get Neoptolemus and bring him back to Achilles' homeland and show him all his wealth.

Achilles literally had a whole life planned out for his loved ones after he was gone.

How much time did he spend preparing Patroclus for a life without him only for Pat to die first😭

Cut to Athena and Zeus. He asks "Hello? don't you like Achilles or whatever🤨 why are you letting him suffer?"

Athena goes down and instills nector and ambrosia within him to stave off the hunger.

I shit you not the fucking horses start talking.

As Achilles is preparing for battle he starts talking to the damn horses.

"Ok, you guys really dropped the ball last time. You need to make sure your charioteer actually comes back alive this time. Remember how you left Patroclus?" - Achilles

LMAOOO the blame game just won't fucking stop.

And to horse go "Achilles ur going to die soon by the way."

Achilles is no phased and just says that he already knows all of that.

They go into battle.

The end

Mind ranking the sneezes of the Lookism characters? Like from "cute kitten sneezes" up to "monster truck crash sneezes" and the inbetweens? 👁👄👁

HELL YEAH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SHIT LIKE THIS

let's start with my baby Jinrang

Jinny sneeze like a dad, loud ass sneeze that breaks the sound barrier and the laws of physics. The surroundings definitely vibrate and shake as if the gods above have been angered but turns out it's just Jinrang sneezing. He also converts his sneezes to coughs bc sneezing is for lil bitches. Yall can call him metro cus that sneeze be booming.

Sneeze volume - 200/10

Damage - 10/10

Side effects of the sneeze- a tsunami comes into Busan bc of the pressure of the sneeze.

My other baby - Vasco

Vassy sneezes as if he doesn't even know that he's gonna sneeze.

The sound is... Inconsistent to say the least. You never know if it's gonna sound like an hentai Character or a chainsmoker, though he doesn't smoke. A little bit of spit comes out (he can spit on me all he wants).

Sneeze volume - depends, changes from time to time

Damage - non, except some spit

Side effect- some perv tries to approach him bc they think he's a girl bc of his hair and hentai sneeze.

The itch in my loins- Goo Kim

THIS BITCH, he squeks. He literally fucking squeks but he has the decency of covering his mouth atleast. He also has the UNDECENCY of sneezing on PEOPLE (Gun) he wants to annoy.

This fucker sprays out spit like a windex bottle. He also looks like he's abt to orgasm when he sneezes.

Volume - depends on how much he wants to annoy gun

Damage- the only damage his sneezes assure are on the mental health of people.

Side effect- Fuckers gets jumped by gun for sneezing on him than lands himself in the hospital.

America's (and my) favorite tool- Gun Park

He doesn't sneeze, he doesn't want to lose his aura. (He sneezes like a cat)

Volume- 2/10

Damage - only to his aura

Side effect- none

MY HOOCHIE DADDY- Samuel Seo

A very normal sneeze actually, but his tits bounce when he does sneeze. So instead of covering his mouth and nose, Bro just holds his tits so that they don't recoil.

Volume- normal, 4/10

Damage - only to his bra

Side effect - the same perv that tried to touch Vasco tried to fondle his tits before his ass got sent to the hospital. Goo and the perv defo ended up in the same room.

Call him discount Gojo cus he got 5 eyes - Vin Jin

I'm gonna be so honest, he Shits himself a little everytime he sneezes bcs of the pressure. If you're lucky then only a fart will come out. If you're fucked like me, you're gonna get a shart.

Call him Thor cus most of the time the thunder comes before the hail💀

Volume- 7/10

Damage - only to your sense of smell

Side effects- you and everyone in his vincinity need to wear a hazmat suit.

My precious kimchi- Jake kim

He's a nice boy but man the recoil of that azz is just.... *starts lubing up my strap*

He covers his mouth and is very respectful too. The volume is normal too.

Volume - 5/10

Damage - only to the ppl (Drake) who have a bbl

Side effect - ppl keep staring at his ass and crash into an oncoming truck and die. Spot dead.

Also the perv gets a stroke and dies in the hospital bc they can't fathom the thought of not being able to fondle that ass.

ALSO baby got back starts playing whenever he sneezes. It's like his "Daddys home".

Me whenever I see lookism men.

Also Ik it's not that good but I tried my best😭 also i started writing it the moment my classes ended. I had classes for 4 hrs straight. 😭😭

Thanks to my pretty baby, the person who asked this, it actually made my day❤️💐

[flowerakatsuka]

gay ppl @ a summer festival, what will they do??

[0xeyedaisy]

Aw man...

[gu6chan]

Not to be dramatic and point fingers but why is it that the worst people with no respect towards art or anything that doesn't involve mindless consumption for "the lore" always have to be drakengard 3 and nier fans. like i don't even try to look and search for things to complain about regarding them but somehow every stupid fucking thing in this fanbase comes back to them

[northern-passage]

Genuine thought as a fellow trans dude, I’ve seen a lot of (obviously non-serious) questions on other blogs about characters’ genitals such as “how does it look like?” and similar, and I think we all know & understand that such questions are extremely inappropriate to ask and (I hope) no one would actually go around asking these questions irl. Idk, I think we should treat trans characters just like cis ones, without any special “precautions”, so to normalise them and not make cis people treat them like fragile boxes, a thing which happens to a lot of us irl. Hope this doesn’t come off as an attack or anything lol.

no worries, i didn't take this as an attack at all. i actually agree with you, that's why i mentioned feeling conflicted about it and also mentioned that i've changed my stance on how i felt about handling Noel and Clementine in game and in explicit intimate scenes.

however, for me the problem comes from the fact that people... don't ask these kinds of questions about cis characters? i suppose people do get cheeky "who is the biggest 🤪" asks but i would hardly compare the two. to be a bit crude, no one is going to be asking if a cis character has a dick or not, or "what does it look like". of course it's natural for people to be curious, and i honestly encourage the open discussion and am happy to see trans bodies being talked about more in a positive way, but not everyone is going to be comfortable with it due to the inescapable transphobia online and in the community. sending me that kind of ask is like sending out an invitation for a debate or a discussion that i don't necessarily want to have. i also just don't think people should default to asking a random IF author on tumblr dot com to describe what bottom growth looks like.

and with most of these asks typically coming from someone who is anonymous, i have no way of truly knowing what the tone is, what their intentions are or why this is being asked - is it another trans person? or maybe someone who is just genuinely curious? or, more likely in my experience, is it someone who is going to immediately follow up this message with something transphobic after i answer? do i want to roll the dice and find out?

so while i agree with what you're saying, it's important to consider the context and the reality we live in. the IF community is not kind to trans people or trans characters. and as a trans person, my first priority is protecting myself and my mental health. so what i mean when i say "precautions," is that those precautions are for me, because i've had to deal with transphobic harassment here for years now, and i try to mitigate it as much as i can. it's also for my personal comfort - again, to be blunt, i'm simply just not comfortable discussing a trans character's genitals with anonymous strangers on the internet. it makes me feel vulnerable.

also i do want to say i didn't mean for any of that to come across as a dig at other authors - if you're comfortable answering those kinds of questions, that's really only something you can decide for yourself. like i said, this is just coming from my own experiences in IF and for my own personal comfort - i have previously talked a lot about trans stuff and gender and sexuality here, when i'm feeling up to it, but it is something that is very draining for me and can also be very upsetting.

basically: i do agree that it's important not to other trans characters or treat them any differently than cis characters, but i also think there are ways to do it that don't require me answering invasive questions or questions that i don't feel comfortable with as a real life trans person, you know what i mean?

[itsalwaysdark]

its so embarassing likee. going to talk abt a feeling you have but you already know ppl will be like Oh that sounds like depression lol and its like. well yes . i know . trust me i am so aware i am depressed . but its still like a thing ive been thinking abt and wanting to talk abt but ik itll just be like Ok hun 👍. idk idk what response i would want tho ig FNFNFNF

[britneyshakespeare]

without doubt one of the worst things about bratz dolls is that you cannot display them without shoes bc they look weird as fuck. stumpy ass bitches

[wildflowercryptid]

honestly, i think the idea of red stepping out of the spotlight and settling down into a quiet life is a fun outcome for them. dude just wants to rest, let them be a househusband or something.

[phagodyke]

yeah I'm not gonna talk abt it am I...

[loumauve]

I snapped today at work, and by snapped I mean I politely commented on a help desk ticket by summing up an mess of an (type of) issue that's come up for at least the fourth time in the 2+ months I've been managing user accounts, and asked the person responsible to fix it (himself for once) because last time I fixed his mess-up it took me two whole days to work out the details with at least four other colleagues from different departments and I really don't want to do it again. there's other shit that needs doing, I've been working 10+ hour days for most of this week already, so I need to cut down not add on more.

(good thing tho - at least we managed to fix the issue where the dataset of a newer employee got mixed up with another one of the same name and therefore wasn't able to apply for any of the access/accounts she needed. technically not entirely my area but it does impact us not being allowed to create an account for her so I figured I might as well track that issue down. took three days and at least three other people, but hey - it should all work out now. yay for that)

[arolesbianism]

Guys why is rain world so good (<- rewatched some scenes and teared up on all of them)

[toestalucia]

guy whos gonna feel like a fraud whenever they end up supporting someone to move on

[dbphantom]

you know if you guys voted for stretch armstrong i probably would have shut up a lot sooner tonight

[crimeronan]

entering the kind of depression era wherein posts encouraging people to think of nice things in their lives make me start crying because i can't think of anything except for things that also just make me hate myself (ie: my family is very nice to me about how i'm too fucking useless to do my job or chores or errands or anything other than lay in bed). probably i will end up logging outta this blog if this continues for much longer because i don't really like who i am currently nor do i have the capacity to pretend to be anything else anymore and i'd prefer to post on this blog when i can actually, like, perform personhood adequately. if i do vanish in the coming days you can assume i'm taking a normal sabbatical unless papika or faewaren post that i'm dead/hospitalized/whatever. peace and love genuinely thanks for all the support ✌️💕👍
