it is so strange to go to the grocery store and realize that 65 percent of the people there just hate me and will always hate me. i mean it’s not like i didn’t know before. but i don’t think people in blue states will ever understand that level of sheer hopelessness and total demoralization and i wouldn’t wish it on them. if you love or even just know a southerner please realize that we can hear what you’re saying about us and it’s not just one wall of bigots here. people are already talking about refusing aid to states like texas and florida in the case of another natural disaster and i am begging you to realize that we fucking live here too.

a short comic based off of a thought the end of advent children gave me - what if once in a while aerith could, for a short time, communicate via phones? it's a bit of a stretch idea but i thought it'd be cute!

do you think bill finn knows about the hundreds of thousands of mentally ill teenagers who think about his silly music 24/7 without end

Something's coming... 👀

The Hunter's Elegy. Deadname ghosts and name necromancy in a dystopian future. A private detective novel full of cover-ups, cults, and penance. #acab

Starring discredited cold case documentary maker Reese Keyes and his justifiably egotistical new boss, private investigator Hunt Cheroneau, who's having him record their every arrogant word while the two of them solve a case that cuts far far deeper than either of them are prepared for.

-

The extremely visceral cover art there is by the very talented @morggo. Go check out their work! It's sick as hell!

You smiled and it was the most beautiful thing that I'd ever seen And you apologized Then you covered your mouth 'Cause you're insecure about your crooked teeth But can I just say this? I'm kinda glad that you never got braces 'Cause I like your smile just the way it is

"Then a youth, his brows wreathed in chaste laurel, appeared in my dream to set foot in my home. No previous age of men saw anything more beautiful than he, nor was that a human work of art. His unshorn locks flowed down his slender neck and his myrrh-scented hair dripped with Syrian dew. His radiance was such as Latona’s daughter the Moon displays, and rosy was the colour on his snow-white body, as a maiden first escorted to her young husband with blushing face dyes her tender cheeks, and as when girls entwine amaranthus with white lilies and as shining apples grow red in autumn.

The hem of his cloak seemed to play about his ankles (for this was the garment on his shining body). A work of rare art, gleaming with tortoiseshell and gold, a melodious lyre hung on his left side. This he played when first he came with an ivory plectrum and gave forth auspicious songs from his tuneful lips."

dislyte circa 2022: ollie and zora both realize the error of their ways when someone they care about is endangered, but they still continue on with their principal effort to bring their respective attackers to justice, so players that haven’t played their events can still understand their core motivations

dislyte circa 2023: the nature of anna’s existence is left ambiguous; the reader knows she was consumed by the estero tsunami at 14, but it’s unclear what exactly the adult anna is- a sentinel projection of the miracle, a figment of norah’s imagination, or something else entirely

dislyte circa 2024: li ling fucking killed himself in the chaos miracle and nakia remade his body from scratch. there are two li lings now. fuck you

what are some of your favorite acting moments in the x files?

i may do a proper full list sometime in the future but one thing that i think about every single day of my life is mulder being scripted to cry in the beginning of memento mori and duchovny saying that a lot of actors “try to feel” but people don’t go through life trying to feel, they go through life trying not to feel. “we go through life trying not to cry.” and so he plays it as completely composed, “but struggling,” and it defines an arc.

because if scully tells mulder that she’s got incurable cancer and she is going to die and he says “i refuse to believe that” while crying, it projects to the audience that he already does. why break down over something you don’t think is going to happen? he says “i refuse to believe that” with a straight face, and eventually gets her to acquiesce and admit something that she knows isn’t true, that goes against literally everything in her as a scientist and a doctor and someone whose job is to tell him the truth, and says that maybe they’ll find a cure for her death sentence.

she meets him where he is, and they stay there, and every scene that follows that decision is so haunted by it. they don’t talk about it, they don’t accept it, she’s dying alone and he doesn’t believe.

there’s this really palpable and intense repression that i’ve written about in the past, that comes with the fact that they’re both lying. he does know what’s happening. he is completely capable of understanding. she does not think that he can save her. they both go through it alone, because of that initial refusal, and it doesn’t work if he reacts to that diagnosis with tears.
