Il problema dei ricordi non è che molti di essi inevitabilmente svaniscono, ma che la ripetuta rievocazione di quelli che si ricordano li trasforma in splendide e brillanti bugie.

"[…] but when will his existence stop only being an infinite succession of ordeals emerging from nowhere? (Never, maybe - each day maybe brought its minor challenges thrown to the mind and the character, until the rest finally provided by the deathbed. This sole thought made him overwhelmingly tired.)"

"two Laura Palmer analogs but one still walks around" you just expanded my mind about the Grundy plot. Laura Palmer Archie Andrews?
oh this is about my tags on this post from @riverdale-retread's archie-centric rewatch. which i am so excited about ❤️
anyway YEAH. jason is of course the dead laura of twin peaks original flavor - this is the on-the-nose lynch riff that everyone appreciates on its face when they start riverdale or read literally any review. A KID IS DEAD, ARCHIE and now it reflects on this whole town. laurajason is the symbol that kickstarts the show.
but we can't really Understand twin peaks (or riverdale) if we leave laura right there as a symbol. twin peaks doesn't leave laura there - she's dead and evaluated through her impression on others, yeah, but she's also extremely present as the franchise progresses in flashback and journal (and feature film and sequel series and supporting novels) as a living girl who was isolated within her picture-perfect-or-so-we-say community because of her grooming and sexual abuse and the support she never got.
she's a girl who became violent and strange to all the people who thought they knew her well. she's a girl who suffered some of the most extreme and graphic traumas of her series and had to keep moving, wondering all along if she was poisoning her friends and loved ones with her continued existence every day. and she tries to make it up with community service, but. you know.
that's archie! jason but alive. what if fire walk with me laura palmer was a boy.
#archie andrews#laura palmer#twin peaks#riverdale#twin peaks spoilers#extremely light ones. but if that's an issue for you#twin peaks itself plays with the idea of multiple lauras and multiple laura identity faces and relationship dynamics btw. sibling works#laura 🤝🏻 archie struggling with the disconnect between their image and their reality. and they can't talk about it#betty is another kind of laura btw but this simply isn't really a betty blog. or i would be posting a lot more about showtime dexter#speaking of riverdale intertextuality

Out of all your ocs which one would be most likely to win in a game of chess, which in a game of hide and seek and which in an actual fight? 😼
ok ive answered all of them and also included information as to why i chose that answer
Chess:
serious answer - Yelena Volkova. She probably doesn't know how to play chess being from the 1880's and all, but she probably picked it up after watching one game and then proceeded to dominate everyone else.
silly answer - Firefly because it keeps eating the pieces when they're opponent isn't looking.
Hide and seek:
Dexter OR Jack Tucker. Tucker is the only one serious enough about it to beat people away from his good hiding spot because he is the world's most competitive child. Dexter would probably complain about it the entire time and call it lame but still find a decent hiding spot and do surprisingly well. He would AT LEAST be in the top 2.
Actual fight:
I broke this one up into categories because depending on the rules I feel like a different character would win each time. For all of these except for the last one we're assuming no powers are being used (ie. no powers* for the guardians and no lycanthropy for the lycanthropes)
*this completely disqualifies Azrael and Lailah until the final category as their bodies are extensions of their powers. This also means we're assuming Ace/Ghost doesn't have the use of his wings. This was done because even without their "powers" they would absolutely body anyone in a fist fight.
best fighter (technique) - Alastair. He was trained into the royal guard since the moment he could walk, and is well-versed in both hand to hand and weapon combat. Even without the aid of Donaron enhancing his abilities he is a formidable fighter but he is also. like 13 years old. which is why i created the separate category for him because without the powers his bond gives him he can easily be overpowered by some of my other ocs.
wins the fight (bare hands) - This has gotta be Elijah. Working on the farm has built up some quite useful muscle! Other hard workers such as Elmer and Harry Dunnett just aren't as physically strong as he is, not even Roy Dunnett (in his prime of course, I don't think it would be hard to overpower a 60 something year old man). Of course i considered Omen for this as well, but at the end of the day, he's a cat.
wins the fight (weapons) - Now we know Alastair has trained with his sabres since a tot, and is very skilled, but he's no match for the quickest draw in the Wild West, Abigale Dunnett AKA Coyote. Coyote is of course never seen without her trusty revolver at her hip, and would catch anyone very off-guard.
wins the fight (powers included) - Surely it's gotta be Azrael or Lailah, right? WRONG. It's Saige/Jinx. Azrael and Lailah are both very physically strong, but Jinx's power is devastating. You know your done for when your opponents only power is to harm and destroy. She can't help it of course. They didn't choose it.
#I HAD THE WHOLE THING WRITTEN I WAS DOING IT AT WORK BUT THE DRAFT DIDNT SAVE#anyway i dont know if ive talked about a lot of these characters but pls ask me abt them if you wanna know more#oc: yelena volkova#oc: firefly#oc: dexter#oc: jack tucker#oc: azrael#oc: lailah#oc: elijah#oc: alastair + donaron#oc: emily/elmer dunnett#oc: harry dunnett#oc: coyote (abigale dunnett)#oc: saige/jinx#gremlin oc#shut up gremlin#oc: omen#the only ones i didnt mention are trixie. spectre. gremlin. daisy-may palmer. paris/fortune. kamakazi/seer.#i think thats it#oc: ace/ghost

36, taivan.
36 Banter/Flirting/Inside Jokes
"I'm sorry." Van cups a hand around her ear. "You want to give that to me again?"
"It's not that I don't think your job is hard," Taissa says smoothly. "It's just, y'know, pretty sedentary."
"Sedentary," Van repeats.
"Comparatively. Yeah. You're in a--" Tai motions with her hands: parallel vertical lines squared in by parallel horizontal ones. "Little box."
Van stares at her. Her cheeks are growing pink, her eyes wide. "Little. Box."
Taissa grins. "Come on. I'm out there sprinting my tits off, and you're--"
"Little. Box." Van is slowly shaking her head. She reaches out, grabbing Taissa's arm. "Okay, come on, get up."
Taissa's more than a little drunk. They both are, having wandered away from Homecoming to loiter on the field with a filched bottle of Jack between them. It's the flavor equivalent of getting karate-chopped in the throat, but so long as Van keeps nipping from the bottle, Taissa has no choice but to keep up.
No choice, too, but to totter to her feet and let Van haul her into goal.
"Not exactly dressed for it, am I?" Taissa twirls in place, letting her dress fan out around her legs. Van looks at her for a long time--eyes rooted to the sleek muscle of her thighs, Tai notices--before blinking rapidly. In trousers and a now much-wrinkled button down, Van at least can pretend she prepared for this turn of events.
And Tai can pretend she isn't appreciative of how well Van cleans up, how appealing she is with her collar open and her sleeves rolled above the elbows.
"Right," Van says. "Don't move from your little box."
She darts off into the dark. She's gone just long enough for Taissa to weigh the possibility that she has been abandoned, and then she's back, preceded by a clean soccer ball.
"Heads up!" is all the warning Tai gets before Van reels back and punts. The ball sails over Taissa's shoulder, thwapping into the net.
"That proves nothing!" Taissa calls back. She's glad she already kicked off her heels. Glad, too, for the bars of the goal, which she reaches for to ward off a wave of vertigo. Drunk. Yes. Very.
Still capable of grabbing the ball and tossing it over her head, though, watching it bounce a good measure down the field. Van gives chase, granting Taissa a convenient--and less than furtive--look at her ass in very nice pants as she sprints away.
"Okay, hotshot. Go again!" Van calls. Her ball-handling skills aren't quite up to Taissa's personal standards, but she isn't half-bad, either. For a drunk goalie, she's actually pretty--
The ball sails by again. Taissa lets out a sharp breath.
"What are we doing here?"
"Well," says Van cheerfully, "you're failing to protect your little box. And I'm kicking your ass."
Fuck it. "Switch," Taissa commands, and before Van can protest, dribbles the ball expertly out of the net. Van charges in, making as if to steal possession, and Taissa twists around her.
Van backpedals into goal. "Give it to me, Turner."
"In your dreams, Palmer." In her dreams, too, but Van doesn't ever need to know that. Doesn't need to know how much time Taissa's dedicated to watching her tend goal.
Doesn't need to know how the fluid grace with which she moves sits with Tai long after the game is over, her mind replaying the dexterity of Van's hands on an endless loop.
Van makes a come-on gesture with one of those hands now, grinning ear to ear. Taissa hitches her dress in one hand, freeing up her legs, and tears forward. She holds nothing back, caring little for the slide of her bare feet on the grass, and when she aims, it's for the high-left corner.
Van dives. Taissa's still moving, unable to stop her own drunken momentum. She crashes into the net, laughing hysterically, bowling Van into the grass.
"Cheating!" Van proclaims around giddy peals of her own amusement. "Fucking red card, ref! She's attacked the goalie!"
"The goalie deserved it!" Taissa cackles. The ball is nowhere to be found; she truly has no idea if she just scored on Van or not. All she knows is the dew-damp grass under her shins, and Van's body underneath her own. Van's braided hair over one shoulder, and Van's hand lighting on Taissa's hip.
"You're in my little box," Van says--not quite as sardonically as Taissa expects. Her eyes are flitting from Tai's eyes to her mouth, her smile achingly charming.
"You put me here," Taissa informs her. Van purses her lips thoughtfully.
"A prime-time goalie, you are not, lady."
Taissa can't argue that point. Nor can she bring herself to stand up. The world is still spinning around her, the only points of stability Van's sprawled legs and the heat of that one firm hand.
"I don't usually play drunk," Taissa tells her.
"Soccer?" Van asks. "Or...?"
She's leaning up, off her elbows. Taissa's breath catches, her body sinking down against her better judgment. Van's lips graze hers, and she finds herself bracing both hands against a soft jawline just to stay upright.
"Okay." Her lips move gently against Van's with every word. Her thumbs trace Van's cheekbones. The world is spinning, and Van's eyes gleam under the brilliant field lights. "Show me how a real goalie does it."
"It's not," Van says, grinning, hands bracketing Taissa's waist, "fucking sedentary."
