CRASHES THROUGH A BRICK WALL

HI HI IM ALIVE!!!! sorry for the relative radio silence on here ;v;

on the topic of that actually!!!! finally have a proper folie a deux au update for you!! though its slightly different than expected?

me and professional buddy and fellow au creator @cookiecaker decided to share a summary of the story we're making for the au beforehand since we'll be taking a whileeee to finish it,,, got a lot of life to live and horrors to create "-v-

after this though you mayyyy or may notttt see some out of order chapter drafts posted for the story as well,,, or atleast one? eh youll see ;Pc

ANYWAYS!!!! this is gonna take a while so lets get on with...

THE FOLIE À DEUX DOAI AU

a summary!!

or story pitch? idk-

(cookie please lemme know if i miss or improperly describe anything here feel free to correct me-)

PART 1

the first three chapters follow alex just after the end of volume 1 as theyre abducted by lankmann and confined to his asylum as a "patient." eventually they get sent to winfrey as food, but winfrey refuses to eat them. theyre left to die in room 66 by lankmann for a Long While, until eventually he gives up and just puts alex back in their room

while alone in confinement, alex starts noticing strange things happening... dark patches start appearing on their skin, they get random pains as if someone were kicking them, and they hear a voice... a much clearer voice than the ones they used to hear while working in the asylum, and it seemed to be able to read their thoughts. though they originally just assumed it was due to being part of their thoughts as well, they find that they start knowing things they had no way of knowing and never learned prior to being confined. when lankmann typically entered room 66, how long hes inside, certain areas of the asylum patients found that theyd never heard of before...

this "voice" managed to help alex find a way to escape, leading to them running away and moving to another, smaller town in eastridge than the one they originally lived in to avoid lankmann's pursuit

PART 2

[ ! tw for cannibalism. yes you heard me- ! ]

so after getting far away from the asylum, alex assumes that their hallucinations and weird symptoms of... Something would wear off, since subject 02 was no where near close enough to affect them

well uh. nope! theyre still there!!

so eventually alex figures out "oh shit that thing is in my head somehow" and is obviously quite concerned!!! to say the least!!!! but theyre also oddly comforted by the idea of having The Voice in their head, since now theyre not entirely alone while on the run and i mean it helped them escape so it cant be that bad?? either way theyre not exactly excited about the whole ordeal and theyre starting to look different and theyre really hungry all the time and its not fun

so! at some point (with winfreys suggestion) alex decides to run off to another town a bit farther away just to be safe. but Uh Oh theyre all out of food!! so theyre extremely hungry, forcing themself through it so they can get food when they arrive but. they see someone in the woods while walking

and for some reason that makes them even hungrier

they try to ignore it and keep walking but they cant

and the next thing they know

theyre looking down at a person

chewing off the flesh on their leg

covered in blood

even after regaining their senses they cant stop themself from eating. it tasted... so good... they were so hungry... they felt awful but it really did taste so s o g o o d .

in a haze, they discard the body, clean themself off and reach the next town. just after unpacking in an apartment, they collapse, flooded with the emotions they fought off on the way there

the next day, alex finally confronts winfrey (or winfreys voice rather-) about all their grievances and they eventually reach an understanding, as winfrey opens up about fearing the outside of the asylum despite longing to escape through alex, so they eventually agree to let winfrey pilot their body for a few days to get a feel for how the world has changed since the time winfrey had been free

in doing so, winfrey realizes how small and helpless humans are in comparison to them and how terrified the patients they devoured mustve been. this allows them to appreciate human life (specifically alex's) much more and want to escaped in their own body to join alex outside and introduce clyde to what they learned after finding it again

while piloting alexs body, winfrey is suddenly forced back into their own after lankmann inflicts enough pain to wake them from the dissociative state that piloting alex left them in. soon after this, winfrey overcomes the fear that was originally keeping them from escaping the facility and breaks out

PART 3

this section is a lot less figured out than the rest so uhh bear with me please ;v;

essentially this couple of chapters just follows alex and winfrey as they get used to life on the run, figuring out where to go from there and how they could potentially find clyde, along with just talking face to face and getting used to that. its a weird feeling talking to someone that you share thoughts with yknow? like talking to yourself but its... not... yourself...

around the start of this section winfrey also expresses that they feel drawn to feminity as a human concept, thus being referred to with they/she from this point on in the story!! transfem winfrey yippee!!! it just makes sense in our head idk-

PART 4

alex and winfrey start noticing news broadcasts and posters asking around for a "dark figure" lurking around, as well as warnings about alex being missing from lankmanns asylum. this fuels alex's paranoia, leading them to seeing lankmanns caretakers everywhere, feeling as if theyre being watched wherever they go... until eventually their home is ambushed and theyre taken back into lankmanns custody

alex is essentially used as bait to get winfrey to come save them from the asylum, since lankmann couldnt find a solid lead on where winfrey could be. alex tries to convince her not to fall for it, since they can both tell this is what lankmanns trying to do, but winfrey eventually caves and breaks back in to help alex, getting trapped inside once again

PART 5

depsite the circumstances, winfrey and alex do their best to stay determined and keep looking for a way out, but they dont make much progress. to make matters worse, lankmann tries "live feeding" patients to alex in the same way he did with winfrey due to realizing that alex has veldigun traits and assuming that theyd have the same appetite as her. this isnt the case, and eventually lankmann switches to dead patients as food for alex, which theyre forced to accept due to lacking any other options

both winfrey and alex are miserable in the situation, the helplessness sinking in fairly quickly as alexs body begins rejecting the growing veldigun portions of itself, decaying under the immense stress

during their final moments, winfrey pilots alexs body to allow an atleast somewhat peaceful death as their consciousness fades away, leaving winfrey alone to reflect on all that had happened...

...and thats the official end of the story!! i had like,, a hypothetical epilogue/alternate ending where lankmann forces a Mind Merge with winfrey somehow and then gets killed and she breaks out again but like. idk the logistics of that are iffy and i kinda prefer the more melancholy end for something like this ":]c

ANYHOW!!!! hope that was!!! something!!!! please feel free to ask questions or provide feedback or anything else im always happy to engage with my fellow freaks (affectionate) :]

ALSO IF YOU MAKE CONTENT BASED ON THIS AU LET ME KNOW I WILL DIE FOREVER alright thats it for real this time- stay safe broskissss BP

BAD BOY is a banger for every kpop listener, new and old! it’s so refreshing and reminded sooo many nctzens of older kpop songs, and they LOVED IT. the ANGELZ ate all of the vocals up, THEY ATE. this song was such a new concept for the girls and nct in general!

MONIQUE & LEIA really shined through this song, both for their vocals and their visuals/vibes matching this song SO WELL!

ALL NIGHT

styled from left to right — sabrina, monique, leia, sooyoung, nika

BSIDE OF THE YEAR!!! the angelz promoted this song at the end of their (short) promotions, and all night earned 2/6 of their wins for the album!!

the outfits for these stages? BEST OF THE BEST. nctzens wished that the promotions lasted longer, but our girls are BOOKED & BUSY.

NIKA & SABRINA were the OWNERSSS of this song,, all of the angels did so well but this duo just SERVEDD.

✮⋆˙ — HIGHLIGHTS

HELLOOOOO NEW MEMBER, SABRINA!!! sabrina’s first comeback w/ nct & the angelz 🥺. her debut came with mixed feelings - some fans wished it consisted of only the four girls, while other fans were SO hyped to see sabrina back on the stage. but no one could deny, sabrina def fit next to all of the girls!

the angelz welcomed sabrina w/ open arms, and it was so precious to see all of the girls get closer to sabrina as the promotions went on!

ALSO, this album the girls got to practically write this album all by themselves. they put in SO much hard work for this album, AND IT PAID OFF!! this album just fits them so well and everything makes sense, nctzens and nct WERE SO PROUD

they put their entire soul into this, they started working on this album literally the week WINGS promotions ended…they worked on it on planes, car rides, back stage, anywhere they could. the hard work paid off 🥺

thankfully, the girls had a BREAK from scandals…there was just some small concern (?)…but SM actually intervened and it was over with by the next morning ☺️

Harker & Dracula Pas De Deux

So in honor of today's daily entry, the infamous "I too can love" scene, I decided to take some time to gush about the equivalent moment in the Michael Pink Dracula ballet again. I'm linking a studio recording because I think it gives better close-ups of the dance, but if you want to see the actual stage performance, it's at at 30:20 here.

I know next to nothing of ballet terminology so going to try avoiding that as much as possible. Also not analyzing the dance itself as much as all the moments that feel like my heart is dying.

A couple of times (45s, 1:01) Dracula reaches out to touch Jonathan and then brings his hand to his own mouth, tasting him.

Every time Jonathan goes near the bed, the place where we hide from monsters, Dracula either gets on the bed itself or blocks him (the start of the dance, 3:25, 4:04, 4:26).

Dracula is continually grabbing Jonathan's throat and while he's doing that to hurt/terrorize/weaken/drag him around, it occurs to me that he's probably also feeling Jonathan's pulse each time (30s, 45s, 1:02, 2:00, 3:19, 4:14, 4:20).

Not entirely sure how to put this in words, but in both this and Dracula's later dances with Lucy, he doesn't interact with his partner as a partner. At 3:30, Jonathan lifts Dracula and it looks like the lifts I usually see in ballet: his hands are on Dracula's waist, he's holding him and supporting him with his hands. By contrast, when Dracula lifts Jonathan at 3:50, it's like he's not quite holding on and more using his wrists and arms to keep Jonathan in place. His dances with humans are full of moments like that, where he doesn't exactly hold on or taps them into place with his feet or pushes them out like he's spinning a top. He interacts as if they're objects.

Jonathan's movements become more coordinated with Dracula's overall as the dance goes on, but there are little moments throughout the whole thing where they're coordinated, like Jonathan is going in and out of his own consciousness. Even though they're completely in step with each other at the end, Jonathan is still screaming when Dracula goes to bite him, so I guess Dracula just thought it would entertaining to let him be aware of that.

In contrast, I'm pretty sure Lucy's dances are in step with Dracula at all times.

The first time Dracula takes Jonathan's hand at 1:26, he grabs Jonathan's wrist and Jonathan's hand is just limply dangling. The second time, at 3:04, Jonathan reaches up and holds on back.

At 2:15 I don't know what that movement is called but I think it's the equivalent of Dracula's lizard crawling but being done on a human body.

I love how at 2:40 Dracula just stands there and waits, because where else is Jonathan going to go?

Whatever that is that Dracula's doing at the start, it makes me think of a cat or a bird of prey preening around before it starts to strike.

Jonathan being shirtless as a highlight of both his humanity and vulnerability.

This has nothing to do with anything, I just thought it was cute: There's a guy in the background of the studio recording in a black tank top who I think must be Dracula's understudy because half the time Dracula moves the guy is subtly copying his motions.

In conclusion: Beautiful. Horrific. Erotic. Gay.

A Morgue With No Bodies

[This is a cutscene that would kick off the last act of the game.]

Leon falls through the trash shoot. His landing is rough and he rolls on the ground a bit. "Ugh," he groans. Swiftly standing up and dusting himself off he takes a look around. Today (yesterday??) Has been shit. After years of guilt and self pity he finaly felt good enough to put down the bottle, and face some of the sleeping dogs he let lie. IE his cousin Alex William's decades long missing persons case, and the sudden disappearence of his home town, Eastridge.

As it turns out the small town never disappeared! The local medical organization, however, had closed it off. With good and bad reasons. The good reason. A violent infection had spread resulting in extreamly powerful, and hungry, zombies. The bad reason? It was their fault. The disapearences, the infection, his missing cousin. Those tapes were not fun to find.

Standing up, Leon glanced around the room. Clothing, both clean and bloody, was left stroon about. Some in laundry carts, others wrapped in neatly labelled bags, paired with small files. Whoever was responsible for this room seemed to have left in a hurry. Picking up a discarded paper Leon took a look at it.

"Patient: [REDACTED]

Age: 34

Sex: F

Patient number: 66

Notes: Noisy. Uncooperative. Cries a lot. Has severe reactions to specimen 02's hallucinagenic effects. After her conversation with the rouge employee she has only became more of a problem. We can't keep her like this forever.

Status: TERMINATED"

'Terminated,' Huh...

Leon vigorously searches through the other files.

'Terminated'

'Terminated'

'Terminated'

'Terminated'

'Terminated'

'Terminated'

All of them were terminated. He placed the files down. Whiping a hand down his face he sighed. It was Umbrella all over again... it was Racoon City all over again. Then something caught his eye. A familier name. Hands shaking, he gently picked up and opened the folder.

"Patient: Alex Williams

Age: 30

Sex: Unlisted

Patient number: [REDACTED]

Notes: Former Employee. Caught snooping around on multiple occasions. Highly sensative to Specimen 02's effects. Their first meeting with 02 was unscheduled, but highly informative. Despite the horror of the situation Williams approached 02. 02 had no violent reaction. There was some sort of unspoken understanding between the two.

Then we whent to retrieve them. Thats when 02 became violent. Four caretakers were killed. Williams was left with the Specimen. Next time the doors were opened Williams was the one to attack. They bit one of our caretakers. The caretaker had to go home sick.

Status: TERMINATED."

'Terminated' Alex was 'terminated'

Leon leaned against the wall. Slowly sliding down, he sat on the floor. The file was attatched to a set of bagged clothes. Pulling them out Leon examined the old tattered jacket. It had that black goo one it, the same goo he saw on all the zombies. Reaching into a pocket he pulled out a crumpled set of glasses.

Leon felt his throat clog up with thick siliva, tears welled up in his eyes, he grit his teeth and pulled the worn items to his chest. Then he sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed, and then he wailed. An animalistic, heart-felt wail. He thought he was better, he thought everything was going to be ok. But here he was, curled up on the floor, in a morgue with no bodies.

02 novembre 2024

Aujourd’hui, une longue marche nous attend . Comme d’habitude nous prenons le petit déjeuner à base d’omelette et de thé noir pour moi , au lait pour Thierry accompagné de pancakes . Les sacs à dos sont prêts ainsi que nos deux gros sacs portés par Dépendra . Lui aussi est prêt . A peine , nous quittons Ayra que le voilà les quatre fers en l’air , je glisse sur des feuilles mortes. Plus de peur que de mal . Malgré tout en une fraction de seconde je me suis dit c’est fini . Ramji très vite m’a remis sur pieds , il m’a massé la cuisse droite … bref . Nous avons repris notre route . Légère montée pour accéder à un grand plateau, nous sommes à 3750 m d’altitude. Nous prenons quelques photos. Très belle vue sur Dhaulagari et L’Anapurna . Puis nous empruntons une descente en lacets très raides pour ne pas dire plus , bien évidemment avec l’épreuve du matin , j’avais très peur de recommencer mon exploit . Ramji a été à mes côtés durant toute la descente . Pour Thierry pas de difficulté . Nous atteignons une passerelle qui franchit la rivière Dichvang Khola . Ainsi nous atteignons l’autre rive . Peu après nous faisons une pose au Dhye shambala , endroit tenu par une famille composée de trois enfants . Nous sommes restés une petite heure . Après ce moment de repis , nous entamons une longue montée très raide qui durera une heure et demi . Ce fut difficile pour moi , Là aussi Thierry s’en est plutôt bien sorti . Les paysages sont magnifiques et les photos ne restituent pas leur grandiose beauté. Arrivés au col Dhichvang dont l’altitude est d’environ 4000 m nous faisons une courte halte pour nous récupérer. Nous descendons ensuite jusqu’à un plateau aride et très venteux sur lequel nous progressons sur une distance assez longue. Brusquement une nouvelle descente très verticale nous amène au village Tangye .(3340 m ) très beau village typique de la région , entouré de très belles parcelles de terre très bien cultivées . Ramji nous conduit à notre nouveau lodge et nous nous installons. Hotel Shambala .

Pendant que nous prenons notre repas, quelques jeunes, en vacance, ont pris place dans la salle où nous mangeons.

Les jeunes sont très tôt séparés de leurs parents durant plusieurs mois pour aller étudier à Pokhara.

Ils profitent des vacances pour retrouver leur famille et prendre part aux travaux des champs.

Un jeune membre d’une association passe pour récolter des fonds pour la préservation et dynamiser la région. Il explique à Ramji les enjeux et l’historique du village.

Notamment, Ramji nous décrit les rites funéraires pratiqués ici qui diffèrent de ceux de son village également de tradition bouddhique. Ainsi, alors que dans sa région on brûle les morts, qui ne sont jamais enterrés, ici, compte tenu du manque de bois, les défunts sont exposés dans un endroit près de la rivière où les vautours se chargent de les dévorer. C’est une pratique qui peut paraître barbare mais en fait elle reflète le rapport que les gens entretiennent avec la nature. Ici l’écologie n’est pas une idéologie.
