When Kate and Vic start dating, do you think that means Kate eventually starts hanging out with Taylor and Courtney? I think it wouls be cute to see them bond and to see them talk about Vic!

yes! They got used to Kate tagging along with Victoria,

one time victoria and max went to some photography exhibit thingy they got lonely and asked kate to hang out with them

and they enjoyed some tea

they also look out for the two, one time vic and kate were having a makeout session inside the custodial room and court and tay guarded that sh!t like theyre cerberus

happy new years and also sorry about the rushed quality im in physical pain due to period

okay so I gotta say, I don’t believe the whole “vampires cannot make good art” thing. I just don’t buy it. Like, call me biased, but as a writer, I don’t think you could talk the way they do and not be good at least at writing. There’s no way.

(you are a challenge every sunset, Saint Louis)

(I had powers now, and decades of rage to process - and so it was both random and unfortunate the man picked that night to dabble in fuckery) (I mean are you kidding me, that line is MUSIC)

(THE NAME! The name, unuttered in our home for twenty-three years - said over and over, until it was pounding in my head like a hammer!)

As such: what I personally think is actually happening is something far more mundane. Picture this - you've just been turned. Vampirism has enhanced everything about you, so your senses are like 10 times more distracting, you're stronger, faster, you're murdering nightly, you're most likely born out of some sort of trauma, and on top of that you've got years to compound whatever issues you already had - which, surprise surprise, are also somehow more intense now, whodathunk, mainly because your senses/murder/immortality are fucking with them BIG. Seriously, think about it: how much would vampire senses exacerbate symptoms of ADHD or autism? Would the species change, the nocturnal lifestyle, the mind gift contribute to dissociation, psychosis, schizophrenia? Would the killings and the loss of community be a factor in the way your depression might develop - or religious scrupulosity? OCD?

It's not that vampires cannot make good art. It's just that it becomes supremely difficult to do so, especially given that they cannot take human medication/finding a nocturnal therapist would be a bitch even if you're modern/Louiiss mon cher what eez a coping mechanisme y'know. I am convinced with 100000% certainty that, given enough time and dedication a vampire could absolutely make good art again* - though, in all fairness, very few of the ones we know possess the patience. Mind gifts/vampire speed + strength/inherited riches tend to destroy that sort of skill real fast; still, though, it's not a curse. It's symptoms disease.

* It is also possible, just as it is for humans, to develop all sorts of technical skills and still lack the “eye” for art (cough Marius cough) - but in that case, maybe try music?.. start writing? Get into ASMR? you’ve got an eternity to fuck around. Do whatever.

The On1y One

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The On1y One (2024, Taiwan)

Director: Liu Kuang Hui

Writers: Wang Yu Chen & Liu Kuang Hui (based on the novel by Mu Su Li)

Mini-review:

Okay, why did nobody tell me the director of Your Name Engraved Herein had made a whole-ass gay drama? Just from that fact, I already knew I would love this. It certainly has more of a BL vibe compared to the movie, probably due to the source material, but it still manages to avoid basically all the toxic tropes and stereotypes. I really appreciate when these type of dramas take as much time as necessary to properly flesh out the characters and their bond, which is what you get here. People looking for constant romance will be disappointed, but the leads have fantastic chemistry, and seeing their development is exactly what makes it special. But truly, the characters are so relatable; the show uses them to make some beautiful reflections on life and youth. My biggest complaint is that the pace does get a bit too slow from time to time. Still, The On1y One is a gorgeously made drama and I definitely hope that second season happens.

This picks up right after the Bay ending - with Max standing over Chloe's coffin, remembering the week that never was.

Max's resolve is tested and she quickly starts wondering if she did the right thing after all.

This is darker, angrier and sadder than what I usually write. If you're in the mood to explore the darker themes of Life is Strange (and there are a lot of them - abuse, violence, drugs, corruption) as well as the more mystical elements of it (spirit animals, ghosts) then I invite you to read it. If you want something more wholesome, then I invite you to read my other fanfics. This fanfic does have a happy ending though, or at least what I consider to be a cathartic and happy ending.

The title is a reference to Chloe's diary entry about Max from BtS (the one about taking her back in a heartbeat).

SPOILER BELOW

Bay Max reverses her choice and becomes Bae Max.

Getting Uncomfortable With Staying Comfortable

God has gifted us to soar, but we have mostly limited ourselves to our comfort zone. God is calling us to get uncomfortable with staying comfortable by confronting the lies that have kept us trapped.

thoughts on samuel?

I think he's my favorite minor character!

I love the way he speaks in metaphors and seems to know a whole lot more than he's letting on. I wish he was used a bit more than he was because he seems to know a lot of Arcadia Bays secrets.

His quote of "Rachel Amber is a dragon made of diamonds." also lives in my mind rent free because it describes her so well.
