"I don't think one ever really stops learning. Particularly not in these circumstances." The once-Goddess says quietly, her expression caught somewhere between empathy for the man before her, and her own grief.
She remembers when loss was a raw, ugly thing which left gaping holes inside of her. It may have dulled to an ache over the centuries, but all it takes is the slightest nudge for the wounds to reopen; the slightest twist in the wrong direction for the stitches holding her psyche together to burst open again. Some days it can be anything as simple as the sound of children playing together, or the sight of a particular shade of green, which sends her reeling.
He has a long road ahead of him. And Sigyn knows - perhaps better than almost anyone - just how treacherous it can be.

"I'm not going to give you the empty promise I'm sure you've heard countless times already. It does not get easier. You will simply learn how to cope as best you can."

This family dinner is gonna fucking suck
#'ox-eyed' is a term I stole from Homer (along with 'dog faced')#In this cultural context the term is used to compliment brown eyes. Not just applied to brown eyes in general but to describe#someone's as uniquely pretty (usually with the implication of a soft or calm gaze). Applied more frequently to women than men.#I've gone over Ganmachen before but that one refers to the ox birth sign and is a mostly complimentary epithet for people who#have the associated traits. It literally means 'ox faced' but the mache/machen word for face doesn't refer to the anatomical face#rather some perceived essential/fundamental aspect of one's nature being their 'face'#There's a ton of other '-faced' epithets both in regards to birth signs and not#and adding the -machen suffix to a description of a person emphasizes the quality being described#Like calling someone 'brave-faced' would be a bigger compliment than just 'brave'- describes this bravery as fundamental to their being#(I don't write this kind out in-text though because the concept of 'faced as descriptive emphasis' doesn't work in english)#(I'd just say like 'very brave' or etc)#'braileig' is the term for a horse foal in the western Highlands dialect. This started as Brakul insulting Janeys with the descriptor#'little lost foal in a blizzard' (which more biting than it sounds- describes someone as pitifully helpless). Janeys was paying#more attention than he thought and had picked up enough to recognize that he was being called a horse baby. Brakul eventually#started using just 'braileig' as a nickname

Somehow that ongoing 1,500,000+ word The Beatles Paul McCartney x John Lennon fanfiction I read includes like the most absolute minuscule details of the Beatles lore, like tiny little things where I was like "that can't be real" but I looked it up and it was (IE a guy claiming to be Jesus Christ barging in on one of their recording sessions). But it does NOT include the apparently real group masturbation sessions
#Straight up learned so much abouyt The Beatles because like maybe 40% of that million plus word count was just like#a chronological recounting of Paul McCartneys actual life and like 30% of it is text from straight up actual real life interviews#placed into the fanfiction (except edited to confirm to the fanfic's Lore of Paul McCartney and John Lennon being life partners and#Lennon surviving his assassination and all of their love songs being about each other and Linda McCartney being Paul's#platonic bestfriend and surrogate Womb for their yaoi children)#Like I would 'fact check' out of curiosity and now I know way more about tge beatles than I ever wanted to#While the remaining 30% is the beautiful love story between Lennon and McCartney where they break up 30000 times and#also this fixation on Paul McCartney being repeatedly sexually assaulted throughout life including like a 12 chapter kidnapping arc#At one point they go to a museum and the fanfiction text has the first several sections of the wikipedia article for 'The Adoration of#the Mythic Lamb' pasted into it word for word.#The title is 'we can find our way somehow' and the author works that exact phrase into the text at least 30 times. I kept count#John and Paul would liek almost breakup and then when reuniting they'll be like 'but I know we can ALWAYS find our way somehow together'#also used 'kaleidoscope eyes' as a descriptor even more (think that counter got into the 40s) and constantly refers to erections as like#'it made his groin stir' 'his groin stirred' 'he felt a stirring in his groin'#You don't even understand. You don't understand. THe experience of reading all that. You don'tget it

The ones who load the dice, always say the toss is fair. (hadestown au)
Orion looked around, panic setting in. Is it true what they say? Is there truly no way to get his love back. That's he's too late? She's truly gone? He walked all this way, why? just to play the part of a pawn in the God's cruel game of chess?
He's out of his mind.
How did he so foolishly believe. Nothing changes and nothing will.
Orion understands now. They're all playing a fixed game. His role involves him getting beaten and betrayed.
He's blinded by guilt, regret and doubt.
And hope. A spark of hope still burns with-in him.
He sings his voice loud. He asks the walls. Is it true? what they say, is it true?
Pickaxes stop ringing. The ringing in his ears doesn't.
He turns to go, Ariel would be disappointed, he could never stand up right.
The answer to his question will never be heard. Not in this concrete jungle.
The workers hear his.
He realises the ones who deal the cards, are the ones who take the tricks.
He who says the words, is always the one to say they are the last.
The walls repeat his words. Standing up and listening.
He shouts his answer out. For he hears the workers now, no longer questioning them; but the wall they had been so desperately building. If they have the will, there's a way to break it down. He believes they are many, and those he questions are few. 
If it's true, he'll be on his way. After all, what can a few do against so many?

#Doodles#SCII#Damned#ZEX#The Captain#Mixed set! :D Lots of singular doodles - one-offs or ones that apply to a few different scenes#The kiss is random tho <3 I still haven't gotten to ZEX showing off his uniform to Zelnick! I want them to!!#Him seeing his Captain in his uniform was so lovely tho <3 I love Big Love and that was so <3 Hehe#Smooch ♥#ZEX does not eat enough ;; He eats like a bird and it's highly distressing#I actually wrote in my notes that I was surprised he wasn't hurting In The Same entry as when he was experiencing hunger pangs haha#It doesn't help that he tends to talk through meals rather than eat - he's so much more interested in making connections with humans!#As far as metaphors go - killing himself for the sake of trying to bridge that gap - I mean it's apt but ZEX please#I think it was while he was talking to Wally at one point that he framed the War in a very flippant light-hearted way which was funny to me#I don't think that's the descriptor most people would use haha#Swearing <3 <3 VUX terminology <3 <3#I want a VUX glossary of terms so badly hehe I've been slowly compiling a few here and there :3 Direct translation! The dream ♫#Him getting stressed enough to swear is very endearing haha ♪ What do you mean I'm endeared by everything he does don't be silly#The next one of me deeply enjoying when he's creepy is not proof of anything! Just because I Happen to also like that!!#I do really love when he's creepy tho agh <3 <3 The mental image of him as The Hunter - casually cornering and capturing his prey <3#In that instance he was interrupted pretty quickly but the setup was there!! And it was extremely good!!!#I love how huffy he gets as well haha ''All these humans interrupting my seduction attempts >O( ...Wait O|'' lol#And finally an exchange on the board between him and Scarecrow haha so many fun faces around!!#I love him being completely baffled by a non-mechanical construct it just short-circuits his brain haha ♥#He's so intelligent but there exists things unknowable!#The image of him tapping his pen is so Incredibly cute ah <3 Where did he learn such a thing! Does it translate from his VUX form to this ♪#Anything everything ♥ Learned or known! It's wonderful

The Two-Headed Calf
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

hey Tunes, do you know whats happening in the Miguel tag? I'm too afraid to check it out myself so thought I'll ask you.
essentially the atsv screenplay was released two or so days ago, which you can read in its entirety here, and there has been valid crirtique regarding the language utilised to describe Miguel within said screenplay, including allusions to bloodlust and the screenplay describing him as an animal twice I believe.
#insofar as my own personal thoughts this does really make me concerned that theres a real lack of consciousness to#emphasizing miguel's anger and the nature of his being in that he's half spider as primary tenets to his character#its deeply concerning to me that regardless of whether the authorial intent was more in vein of providing direction to animators#or was an attempt at shorthand for his emotional state to emphasize his threat AS an antagonist#that this kind of language pertaining to a moc wasnt examined more closely and that it wasnt something picked up upon throughout the#creative process (because lbr Lord + Miller + Callaham are notorious for creatively echoloating their way to the final product and even the#screenplay we HAVE has elements which never made it to the film that exists right now)#its concerning that this mindset on part of the creatives (esp in contrast to Spot as others have pointed out who doesnt contain the same#kinds of language descriptors) that this is something that appears to have been integrated carelessly and without consideration as to just.#the implications of always referring to a moc within bestial terms and characterising his emotions as such. and i think thats something#which is important to point out and criticise as part of the authorial intent (which is what i read the screenplay AS yknow)#but yeah tldr theres been a lot of issue taken with the language used there and i think its a very warranted point to make critique of#and its one i personally hope the creatives HEAR and reflect on. because theyve shown they can do so in regards to characters like Peni or#elements like getting the texture of Miles' hair wrong at first#ask games#anon

(Tw Matty Healy, Sexism) Gender based sexism is some guy saying they were emasclulated by the idea of dating you ten years ago and then coming back 8 years later out of nowhere and promising to have changed and promising babies and marriage and then ghosting after you openly and publicly commited to them and all their off color jokes. Matty Healy is a shit show of gender based sexism and weird hang ups about woman having success like geeze and I know Joe Alwyn wasn't a saint neither but at least he kept that shit to himself and didn't openly say
"But I didn’t make a big deal out of it myself. It’s not really anything to talk about, because if she wasn’t Taylor Swift we wouldn’t be talking about her.
“She wasn’t a big impact on my life. It’s just interesting to me how interested the world is about Taylor Swift.”
“And the reason I mention that is because if I had gone out with Taylor Swift I would’ve been, ‘F**king hell! I am NOT being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.’ You know, ‘F**K. THAT.’
“That’s also a man thing, a de-masculinating, emasculating thing.”
and then turn around, pretend to be prince charming and then peace out and get engaged to the next person they dated.
Fucking AMEN to that!! I think those quotes get directly at the core of why his betrayal was so rotten- he clearly got off on pursuing The Taylor Swift like a fucking big game trophy hunt, and the subsequent dropping her like a used Kleenex. Obviously I don’t know the man, but it seems to me that he was very much into degrading her, watching her bend over backwards to be with him, “tarnishing” her reputation, and then being the guy that broke The Taylor Swift’s heart. I can’t possibly understand all the nuance of trusting partners as an extremely famous diaristic songwriter, but I imagine that for him part of the thrill was knowing she was writing about him. (Side note: Which is why I respect her approach to writing about him in TTPD so much! She didn’t have to do that but she spoke honestly about her embarrassing situation and took the satisfaction away from him I guess) Idk it makes my skin crawl to even try to get in that guys head but somethign something intimacy of songwriting something exploiting emotional vulnerability. Maybe he didn’t do it on purpose, maybe he regrets it, maybe he’s not all bad, blah blah blah idk he just gives me the creeps and I don’t trust men’s motivations generally, especially when we have an enormous amount of data showing that this man gets off on women’s pain and trauma.
