ngl i've been kinda surprised by the lack of veilguard stuff i've seen on my dash since it released - i've very thoroughly given up on it, but even ppl who seemed hyped about it have largely just... not been posting abt veilguard at all.

then i looked in the da critical tag and, uh, yeah. i can understand why. it's not an actively bad game, but it sounds to be very... shallow and mcu-ified? i'll admit i had basically given up on veilguard, but i did kinda want bioware to prove me wrong. not that i would've bought it anyway given the way they've treated their company veterans. it's just such a shame.

i've been dying for a poll option ever since i saw my followers' answers to that text post from february 2022 asking people whether they pronounce beloved as "be-lov-ed" or "be-loved". many people were emphatic about only using one option, and many others use both but were not always able to articulate when they use 2 syllables vs. 3. so out of the goodness of my heart and my insatiable lust for knowledge i have gone through the notes on that post and written down some likely contenders! you're welcome!!!!

BEFORE YOU ANSWER! think about how you would pronounce beloved in the following syntactic contexts:

noun, talking directly to the beloved: hey there beloved

noun, talking about rather than to the beloved: my beloved lives in a pineapple under the sea

adjective in a noun phrase: my beloved x lives in a pineapple under the sea

verb participle: x is beloved by y

okay poll time! there are no wrong answers!! and apologies in advance if i didn't capture your truth, i only had 10 options and life is a rich tapestry!!

Considering the. Ahem. Ways this year has gone, I've not been thinking about it all that much, but. I did start this year with the motto of Year Of Unfucking My Life. With a few goals involved in that.

I got an official adhd diagnosis, as well as a diagnosis for PCOS. Other diagnoses in progress. Gotten adhd meds and birth control to regulate periods. I've gone back to school and I'm keeping up with it better than ever before. I've even been working on practicing driving, something I've been largely neglecting since I first got my driving permit, um... 11 years ago...

I just need to actually Get my license. And I need to get it before the end of the year. If I can accomplish that, then I'll say the Year Of Unfucking My Life was successful.

I know I’ve made other posts talking about or alluding to this but like. obviously there are like the old hollywood movies in the sort of dyke subtext canon (all about eve, rebecca, johnny guitar, etc) but like. there are so many movies that like 10 people have seen but I have such a clear gay vision or interpretation for it. most of them aren’t even GOOD. and yet!!

like the great lie is the one that haunts me the most (or the women but I think that one is kind of different for me perhaps bc I’ve already talked about it here a lot or perhaps bc I think of it as being more well known and watched than I think it actually is? actually it’s probably that I think it is an overall good and well executed and entertaining movie which isn’t really true of most of these tbh). but I also think a lot about like when ladies meet, or old acquaintance, or sadie mckee, or the shining hour, or the model and the marriage broker, or a woman’s secret, or the bigamist, or craig’s wife, or born to be bad, or separate tables, or even dark victory to a degree. others too certainly those are just the ones that come to mind. for half of these it’s not even like oh these women are gay together it’s just like hey I think she’s a lesbian. and I’m right. but my genius will never be fully appreciated in my day unfortunately.

MCFLY JULY ‘24 ⸺ 「 14 / 31 * JENNIFER'S PORCH SWING 」

Lone Pine Timeline

Marty leans back, his lips spread wide in a grin as the porch swing rocks underneath them. It’s a perfect day—almost too perfect—the kind that just invites disaster, because when the weather is nice, the sun is a brilliant blue as far as the eye can see, and the birds nearby are singing their own joyful song, as if they’re just as happy to be free of the shackles of high school as they are, something must go wrong.

It’s Murphy’s Law, after all, and he knows all-too-painfully well that there’s something to that law.

He’s making progress—or at least he thinks he is. Right now, he’s smiling—something that even just four months ago felt impossible at times—filled with hope for the future despite the still-foreign land he’s been teleported to. High school, Strickland, they’re all things of the past and even back in his time, he and Jen have been eagerly awaiting the day they said good-bye to that hellhole. They’re one step closer to their lives together, to the kids, to their gorgeous house in Hilldale and a future he won’t screw up, not this time.

Maybe he’ll never be their Marty, not in the way their loving stares and easy laughs and multitude of family albums’ worth of memories that he’s still slightly envious of the other Marty over hope he is—think he is—but he’s learning. If that means fusing himself with this shadowy version that only exists in memories so he can believe that he belongs—

—or at least be allowed to stay here—

—then he will, no matter how difficult it is.

Maybe he doesn’t remember the trips to Disneyland, the block parties his father would coordinate for the ‘big’ holidays that everyone in Lyon Estates turned up to—remember the year Dad got the dunk tank and was so confident everyone’s aim would suck that he volunteered to go in it himself?—or all their little family traditions that everyone, even Jen, seemed to know and reminisce fondly over, but he’s learned how to pretend.

Bit-by-bit he’s learned how to make the smiles look a little less forced to stop worrying his mother, to stop Linda’s scrutinising stares and avoid the awkward conversations, to stop Dave from pulling him aside in confidence to tell him he can talk to him—about anything—to stop his Dad from sneaking around, trying to rope Doc and Clara into his plans to help because I’m just worried about you, son.

He pads his fractured heart with ideals and memories that, to him, will only be stories, using them to shield the truth—a reality only he and Doc seem to remember—and all its aches and pains and scars from prying and smothering eyes alike. From the people who would just try and say he’s crazy, send him to a shrink and give him a couple of pills and say it’ll all get better.

“Don’t forget your parents are throwing us that huge graduation party in a couple weeks,” Jen says, smiling as she leans up against his shoulder.

She’s watching, he knows, ever observant, even if she doesn’t understand. She’s tried, and the fact that she has makes him fall even more in love with her—sometimes I don’t think I deserve her—especially on those days where he was ready to crawl out of his skin when it all threatened to crush him from the inside out.

Marty wraps one arm around her shoulder, still wearing a smile although it’s faded at the edges, and brushes his thumb against the faded wood of the swing, remembering that one night everything came rushing to the surface and Jen stayed there with him for hours, the most comforting presence he could have possibly asked for.

Their memories didn’t line up exactly, but she was still Jen, and he needed that desperately.

He only wishes he could have been the one to give Jen all those wonderful memories he keeps hearing about.

But isn’t that what the future’s for? Doc even said—

“Marty?”

“Yeah?” He blinks, looking over and nearly slamming his nose into the top of her head. “Sorry—how could I forget? It’s all Mom and Dad have been talking about since March. I think he was serious when he was talking about inviting all of Hill Valley.”

“He’s just proud of you, you know that.”

Honestly though I think it’s really a bad sign when I look at Shin Tsukimi and literally feel like he’s a self insert 😩

Another batch or Mr. Puzzles quick sketches. I kept forgetting to draw his side pocket in the last couple ones. Random character featured in the little comic-ish Live Interview is some version of doodlesona. Can’t guarantee the dialogue will be believable/sound in character for Puzzles because honestly I’m still working on understanding his talking style and when he sarcastically jokes around or when he chooses to be serious and drop performance act. But in the off chance you wanna read it goes from left to right with reading

Thinking again about my plans for Vash and Knives in ITNL

Which I can't really get into the specifics for How I'm going to do things w/o going into spoiler territory. But I Do have Vash & Knives tagged on the fic for a reason. I set up in the first chapter that Vash is determined to try to save Knives too.

Which. That choice, as well as the entire basis for all of this, depends so much on that final fight in trimax. The one that was literally a scene away from where ITNL Vash went back in time. His mentality just a hair's width away from that...

At the end of trimax, there was reconciliation, however brief and incomplete it was. In ITNL, my question to myself was How could I induce that again? Under different circumstances, How Else could we get there? And that is the long-game in ITNL.

There's a part of me that definitely would like to do Kagurabachi fics but it's still too early to do so (at the time of this post, we're 19 chapters in) when events are focusing on the now (re: post-Sojo fallout, the Rakuzaichi auction and the Sazanami family plus Hakuri) and the worldbuilding is spoken of and hinted at but is still in the process of laying down its foundations.
