My piece for the Memento Mori Zine!

I had a lot of fun joining the project and seeing so many other beautiful illustrations from fans. Thank you so much to @curseofsergei for organizing and managing such a cool initiative from start to finish! :)

Okay, ow.

I don't think I actually talked about the videos besides the coffin. And there is a lot to say about personal experience and relation to what it means to me individually, or what was actually supposed to be meant here.

But simply, it just hurts. The anniversary truly snuck up on almost everyone. Everything seems so far away until it's actually here. But time doesn't wait for you to be ready. You either are or aren't. And you have to deal with that.

Memento Mori, Unus Annus.

THE X FILES X FALL OUT BOY ↳ Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes and Memento Mori (4.14)

[pridoo]

Best moment of this fall was hands down when I took my uni class to a print house for an excursion and was greeted by three old men with same names (not joking) and they looked around and said well, I suppose this is everyone in the group except....the teacher....

And I stood there next to them like hello🧍yes I look like a child to you yet I teach a university class. Yes this makes you Old™. children are teaching uni classes and you're a dinosaur

DEPECHE MODE - My Favourite Stranger (The Tonight Show)

[tinknevertalks]

Y'know, I think the end of Never Again fundamentally changed a part of me as a writer... Hmm, maybe not so much changed me but helped make my angst writing angstier.

This shot, and how this scene (and episode) ended? Yes. Like, it's not a happy ending, doesn't even feel like a satisfying ending. The camera just pulls away. And looking at it now, the desk (work) is between them and that empty chair has the ghost of Something or Someone, and it's just... It's complete but not whole. They're together again but not unified. He doesn't understand because, fundamentally, he can't. Not from want of trying either.

And the lighting? He's the one lit up and she's in darkness. How often has it been the other way around? He turns to her because she's his beacon - The answers are there. You just have to know where to look - but at that moment she's just a tired of life, confused, human being.

Fuck I love this show.

These playlists are gonna make me cry, I can't, they're so bad...

Don't you dare try to gaslight me, Victor would NOT listen to Will Wood, leave him out out this...

Like, for actual characterization, this one had it, a lot of these songs are actually on our own Frankenstein playlist...

Heavy on HAD...

Oscorp was...interesting. That might be the nicest word Niamh could offer for the longest time. Between seeing in the news the kinds of work it did, seeing the souls of those who were effected occasionally by the work, and also seeing the genuine good it was capable of. The company was easily as complex as an actual, living person and she decided to wander the halls to actually get a look at what was inside of it. Not that she could really do much about any of it, but she was curious. And the city seemed to be at ease, at least in terms of the things that she tended to deal with, so she went exploring.

Rather than rise through the floors on her own and pass through, she opted to ride the elevator. A chance to play the part of the living even as she kept herself hidden and invisable to their eye. Or so she thought, because Harry Osborn was most definitely staring at her. Not through her to whatever may be behind her on the wall of the elevator, some kind of safety message if Niamh remembered right. But at her. Which was...telling.

A small handful of the living could see or sense her with that kind of ease. And if the young man wasn't a medium, that meant he was far too close to death despite his appearance of health. That didn't make the situation any less unexpected or awkward either. Because she was certainly not dressed as an employee there and was probably somewhere that she shouldn't be. By the company's standards, anyways, "....good afternoon."

By all of the Old Gods, Niamh hoped the young man didn't also see the specter of a cat floating at her side, Sioda staring back at him with blank eyes.

Phases of growth of an internet user in fandom, circa 2024

0-10 yrs - if you're on the internet it's either your parent(s) posting pics of you to facebook or you're watching youtube kids with less supervision than you actually need 'cos there are some weird as shit channels out there labeled 'for kids'. 11-12 - somehow they gave you a smartphone but you're very busy watching minecraft or roblox youtube channels and video-chatting your friends and you're probably into Pokemon. 13-16 - You are convinced only fellow teens your age belong on the internet sharing memes, because this is literally where ALL your peers are. What do you MEAN there are older people here on [social media site] that you can actually interact with?? Ew! 17-18 - The weight of IRL expectations is slowly crushing your creative spirit but you persevere. Time to apply to college. 19-20 - The end of your life is nigh. Also you're in college now trying to be an adult. What is happening?? You can vote now???? 21-24 - College, graduation, and discovering the wonderful surprises awaiting you in the economy earlier generations have left you (right now? it's shit. sorry.) You're still here doing what you enjoy. But are you letting your life slip away between your fingers? 25-29 - The 13-16 yr olds react like they're amazed at you for being on the internet but this is where you have your audience/friends/ways to talk about your favorite shows, which you STILL HAVE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Your biggest fear is hitting 30 and having nothing to show for it but you've been making a lot of adulting mistakes and learning from those mistakes in a big way. It really stings when teenagers scream in astonishment that you're over 25. 30-39 - Now the gap between you and the 13-16 yr olds is bigger than ever but you look at them and see your past self and oof...but they deserve that chance to learn and grow just like you. And now you also know they will experience what you have: the neverending weird looks from whoever is currently 13-16. Such is the curse of aging. You may have a kid or two yourself by now, too. It doesn't bother you as much when you see polls asking about what age you are as a fanfic writer. Your twenties were miserable but it's getting better now that you kinda know what you're doing. The only drawback is the random aches and pains. Hey you! Quit shrimping! I see that! You're gonna regret it! 40+ (and I do mean the plus) - You were here before all these damn kids. How dare they try to cite the Deep Magic at you, you were there when it was written (the Deep Magic: the first Star Trek fanfic ever posted on the internet). You witness the very real loss of knowledge and wisdom of the internet that seemed like it had been around just ten years ago, as no one knows to even look for the history of anything. The landscape has really changed, but you're still here doing what you enjoy. Only difference is you can see the big picture now. When someone pulls out the famous 'do you know what this old tech is' pop quiz, you get excited when you see something familiar.

Apparently there was a lot of refugees still here from Unus Annus over 4 years ago huh, honestly one of the few times I cried due to youtube, their project was cool and I don't think anything can replace it
