Does anyone else remember all your greatest obsessions like eras? Like if someone is telling you about an event and you remember what were you obsessed with at the time?
I think I remember my obsessions since 1st grade and maybe before that

Rewatching Crimson Peak & Things of Focus and Notice:
As a child at her mothers funeral, Edith wears butterfly/moth earrings
Is the pen her father gifts her the one she later uses to stab Lucille? He describes the importance of having “The right tool for the job,” is that foreshadowing for gifting her the tool to begin her escape from Crimson Peak?
Is Edith wearing a butterfly hair clip when she dances the waltz with Thomas?
Lucille’s iconic crimson red gown is so detailed, so beautiful. It represents the skeletal ghosts with its spinal column along the back, crimson peak itself in color, the carapace of a bug on the sleeves and structure, and the upper bodice has trim that blooms outward (present similarly in her blue gown) but is bisected by buttons…creating a familiar shape…a moth?
The candle they hold during the waltz is held at the same level Edith holds her iconic candelabra, a subtle parallel
The trim on the collar of Lucille’s black dress references the spikes and trims of gothic architecture - which is very heavily featured in Allerdale Hall
Lucille says that: “At home we only have Black moths, formidable creatures but they lack beauty.” Knowing the parallel between her and moths, it implies that she sees herself as a survivor and powerful, but something no longer beautiful because of it
Lucille places the butterfly she holds directly into the ants, an action that’s brutal but quick. Is it foreshadowing to her execution of Edith’s death? Something quick for such a beautiful thing, done by her hand?
The LOOK Lucille gives Thomas when they realize Edith’s father knows their past. THE LOOK (JESSICA CHASTAIN YOUR ACTING)
“You seem the more collected one my dear” Lucille is called this. She always holds the mission undetered in her mind, as opposed to Thomas who seems more easily swayed by emotions
When Thomas breaks Edith’s heart by ripping apart her book. He says: “What do you dream of? A kind man? A pure soul to be redeemed? A wounded bird to be nourished?” He is telling her exactly what he is. None of those things, none of the dreams she has built of him in her mind. Not with a past and life such as his.
The significance of gramophones and wax cylinders: it is what plays when Edith’s father is murdered, it is also what saves her from meeting the same fate
I want to know more about Lucille!! Her character is so rich, so so complex, she needs more screen time!!
Need a prop replica of the ring NOW
[the house] “is a privilege we were born into, one we can never relinquish” METAPHOR ALERT METAPHOR ALERT metaphor for the cycles of abuse and trauma they could not break
HOW THE FRICK did I MISS the fact that Thomas’ workshop is in the attic when that was where him and Lucille were locked up as children. SO MANY IMPORTANT SCENES HAPPEN THERE. So many significant to their past we never see, so many ghosts not visible but are so real and present to have caused this
The trail of smoke like red essence that emanates from the ghosts as they walk, like they are still bleeding
Lucille’s hair looks black in darker lighting, but a dark brunette in others. It’s provides a black, dark shroud when she’s in America, and catches more light when she’s in Allerdale Hall
“I like to think she can see us from up there. I don’t want her to miss a single thing we do.” UM MA’AM
“…in time, everything will be right” LUCILLE QUEEN OF FINAL OMINOUS STATEMENTS IN SCENES
The amount I WISH to explore this set. To pry apart each detail and pick apart each piece, so much of it had to be handcrafted pieces for the movie or vintage pieces sourced for it. LET ME IN
THE LIGHTING MUAH
The ghost in the hallway has a rope dragging behind her…is this a gory detail, or an allusion to how she may have died (if not by poison)?
The ghost in Edith’s dream is pointing, though it is never shown to what. Is it to the exit, her warning to leave as all the other ghosts try to do?
The children’s laughter after the presumed scream of their mother’s ghost as she is stabbed, is it just for creepy effect, or did Lucille and Thomas actually laugh after they murdered her?
The scar on Lucille’s lip? Never noticed it before!
Not the first time I’ve noticed it, but the act of her clutching hot steaming food with her bare hands is chilling every single time
Were the bodies of Thomas’s wives left in the vats of clay? I don’t know HOW I didn’t make that connection before, originally i thought it was merely for creepy effect.
Many people villainize Lucille and try to make Thomas out to be solely a victim. But as stated in the wax cylinder, he was fueled by his desire to pay for and make his machine. Him and Lucille are both complacent in using their victims money for their own gain
We need to bring Chatelaine’s back into fashion. That is all.
The scrape of the spoon over the porcelain cup, it screeches and is a subtle way that shows Lucille act of caring has a harshness to it, an unpleasant sound resulting from an otherwise pleasant action: tending to Edith
Such an interesting camera choice to have the camera focus in a circular inwards and outwards
also also Lucille has a temple scar on her forehead?
The small amount of glee Lucille takes saying Edith “thought [she] was a writer” as she throws the pages to her novel in the fire.
The absolute deadpan, matter-of-fact-ness Lucille has to Edith when she signs the papers “you have nothing to live for” & “mercy killings.” This is a familiar repeated cycle
“Sign your name! Sign your bloody name!” Bloody is not just for emphasis. Edith’s name is soon to be nothing but blood
Lucille’s night gown sleeves as she flies down the stairs in pursuit - like a moths wings fluttering towards its prey
Lucille and Edith fought each other with bare feet on the stone and in the snow
Lucille is the only one of the two who knows how to start Thomas’s machine, because she was the one who witnessed it working
It is only the stab wound on Thomas’ face that bleeds and smokes when he is a ghost, perhaps because it is the wound that bears his betrayal by Lucille, reminiscent of tears of his lingering pain
Edith now has a facial scar, gifted to her by Lucille, who bore ones of her own. It is a passage, a continuing of the cycle, but it is its finale. It is Edith’s souvenir from Lucille, who took her own souvenir (her hair) from the other like a prize
#a very exhaustive list from my most recent rewatch of one of MY FAVORITE MOVIES#crimson peak#many many thoughts#lucille sharpe#edith cushing#thomas sharpe#cissarambles

I do really love fics where it's clear that other than being skilled at combat and incredibly smart and obviously sosososo fucking good with money ningguang could also be like. Liyues next top model if she weren't the tianquan. Yelan wants her. Ganyu wants her. Keqing wants her. Yanfei wants her. All of her secretaries want her. Ningguang can't go two feet without finding a lesbian doing heart eyes. And she knows but she is also soso head over heels for known pirate king captain beidou of the crux who is admittedly very cool but also distinctly a criminal. Like women with these high-power government jobs are practically throwing themselves at her feet and she's like no. I do want the woman who killed the fucking sea monster. Only I can know how to file taxes. She has to have at least 1 million mora in government debt. And most importantly. I need someone who can save the pieces of my house that fell in the ocean.

Creation word list PART 1
(link to part two)
Niki's QSMP stream - Thursday, January 18th, 2024 :
"We are not done yet." x3 (He says this as soon as he sees Niki for the second time)
"Take me to shells." x2
"Shells."
"Shells now."
"Small little shells."
"Main shells."
"Your shell." (Speaking to Niki)
"Pancake shell." (Still speaking to Niki, now talking about Em)
"Friend for now."
"Please." (Was told the eggs were in an area he couldn't access/wasn't allowed in)
"Make right for my wrong."
"To the shells."
"You-you, are-are; shellkeeper." (Longer pause between the second 'are' and 'shellkeeper')
"You-you, are-are, shellkeeper." (Talking to/about Niki)
"Good news."
"Where is shells now?"
"Disappointed." (Was told, again, he couldn't see them)
"Keeper, I am; disappointed."
"Keeper, I am disappointed in you."
"It will be okay."
"It would be okay." x3
"We would be okay."
"You would be okay." x2
"The shells would be okay." (Is he trying to convince her??)
"Why are you worried?"
"Must point." (After being asked why he wanted to see the eggs in the first place (strange little power seen before, whoever he points at seems to disconnect) )
"Must point again."
"Fear not shellkeeper, it is safe."
"Here, there, everywhere."
"Here; there; everywhere." (Much longer pauses)
"Thank you dear shellkeeper."
"Shellkeeper, why?" (After being laughed at briefly)
"I thought; friend, no?"
"You do not seem sure." (After Niki assured him that they were friends)
"I can point at you if needed, keeper." (Unsure if this is a threat or an offer)
"Why?" (After being told by Niki that she would get nervous/upset if he did)
"I will be fine, what are you?" x2
"Promise me, dear keeper." (After Niki assured him she was fine as well)
"I will be fine, you will be fine."
"Shells please." x4
"Sick." (After being denied access to the eggs AGAIN)
"Sick you will be." x2
"I will not hurt you."
"Never." x2 (After being asked if he would hurt the eggs)
"Good news." (After being asked why he was here)
"Very good news."
"Only one very." (Correcting Niki)
"Please quote me correctly."
"Forgiven." (After Niki said sorry)
"Chunk." (After being asked where he was from, the word itself most likely referring to the Tubchunk)
"Unimportant." x3 (He was asked a multitude of questions, "are you from the tubchunk", "do you know tubbo", "are you tubbo", "is this what tubbos been working on", so I'm unsure which ones he's answering to)
"Unimportant." (I would usually group this with the one above considering they're the same word within a short span of time, but this one was spoken right after Niki asked what he wanted to do with the eggs)
"Unimportant."
"I am important." x2
"Why must you hurt me? Why must you hate me? Why must you? Do I need this? Is this for me? Do I need pain? Am I important?" (After he couldn't find a way to the eggs)
"We are not done yet." (Now talking to Empanada, who warped to them)
"Shell." x3 (Still talking to Em)
"Shell, I must share news." x2
"Are you important?" (Asking Em)
"Shell, are you important?"
"In everything?" (After being told that Em is important to her friends and family)
"What is everything to you?"
"So you are important?"
"This is good." (After being given an "I guess so" from Em in response to his previous question)
"I wish one day to be important like you are."
"Important." x4 (After being told he is important. The last two "important"s are said strangely, so I'm not sure if he's saying "I important" or just "important")
"I point out." x4
"I point now."
"Please be pointed at." (He says this just before pointing at and disconnecting Em)
"Thank you shellkeeper."
"In 60 seconds." (After being asked to bring Em back)
"Are you important, shellkeeper?"
"Perfect." (After Niki tells him she thinks everyone is important, after saying this he would bring Em back)
"Are to/too/two are important./?" (It's very hard to decipher what he says here, so I'm unsure if this is a statement or a question or otherwise)
"Thank you." (After Em tells him that the Morning Crew and Sunny loves him (she didn't know he wasn't Tubbo at the time))
"I am so pleased."
"What is king?" x3 (After Em calls him king)
"Need a home." (After Niki asked him if there was anything he wanted/needed)
"For important."
"Please do not talk of; creator." (After Em asks if he's Tubbo or someone else)
"Shell." x2 (Trying to get Em's attention)
"Do not tell creator." (Creator = Tubbo)
"Outside must not; be on here." (Unsure whether or not he says "be on here" or "beyond here")
"Creator will not be mad, just will have to start over."
"When start over, I end." (I assume it's either like a full reset and then completely remaking the code, or a factory reset that wipes any memories or anything else)
"I end forever."
"I am important."
"I do not want to end."
"Let's go somewhere." (He says this before he starts walking off)
"Not finished; I struggle." (I assume he's referring to himself being most likely 'incomplete')
"The jump, keeper." (After Niki asks what he struggles with)
"You, keeper."
"I struggle with jump."
"Must not wet." (He says this after he sees a river, so I assume he's a robot of some kind)
"No fear but scar."
"Indeed." (After being asked by Niki if the water hurts him)
"Indeed." (Repeated after Niki asks him if he knows where he's going)
"It hurts; my feet." (After he sits down on the beach and his feet are dangling in the water)
"Indeed." (Confirming he feels better after Niki places scaffolding under his feet so they aren't touching the water anymore)
"You are sick?"
"I could tell." (Niki was sick during this and he says this after she confirms that she is sick. Also I hope she feels better soon <33)
"I said you would become sick."
"No, I just knew." (After Niki asks if he got her sick)
"Unimportant." (After being asked how he knew)
"Creator; and shells." (After being asked what is important)
"Only one is not." (Talking about the eggs)
"Unimportant." (He was asked two different questions before he answered, so I'm not sure which one he was answering to, "which shell isn't important?" or "are you here to protect the eggs?")
"The shell that is not." (Niki asks him again, "which shell isn't important", and he seems to dodge the question)
"I do." (When asked if he knows the name of the egg that isn't important)
"No." (When asked if he could give Niki the name of the egg)
"Must not." (When he was asked why he can't give the name)
"Priority of protection is private." (When he was asked again why he couldn't give the name)
"Some come first, some come after."
"Creator says the list must not release."
"Unimportant." (When asked if he is here to protect the eggs)
"To some." (After Niki said "I think it's very important")
"Purpose." (After being asked if it is unimportant to him)
"Please do not ask of the list."
"Feelings will hurt if so."
"Shell feelings." (After Niki asked for clarification on who's feelings, insinuating the list is private partially because the eggs might get upset if they find out who's first and/or last)
"Yes." x14 (Said very, VERY fast and in quick succession in response to Niki asking him if there was any way she could help)
"Unable to agree."
"Yes." x14 (Said very fast again when asked if there was a conflict)
"One is equal to one, shell does not equal shell."

Me, faced with a shiny new story idea: Save it for the Inklings Challenge, save it for the Inklings Challenge, please save it for the Inklings Challenge, I'm begging you please save it for the Inklings Challenge
#adventures in writing#the idea engine is warming up#by now i've got a certain sense of what kind of stories i generate for the inklings challenge#mash up one of the genres with another work or genre and create some half-baked world#the most recent is: the boxcar children as a portal fantasy#older sister and middle brother and younger sister the oldest no more than eleven or twelve#fantasy world royalty who flee from danger (probably an evil usurping uncle who wants to kill them like it's the aristocats)#and stumble into our world#and have to have all sorts of orphan adventures as they figure out how to survive#scrounging for supplies#setting up housekeeping in the woods or in some kind of abandoned building#figuring out our world and making friends#which they're going to need once the evil uncle's forces come after them#it would be so so middle grade and so derivative and such cheesy earnest fun#telling you about it now because it's the type of story idea that loses its luster in 24 hours#and i'll probably never write it#but also it can go on an inklings list and who knows#maybe three days before the deadline this one will pop up as a viable option for this year

I love writing how tos and lists. For decades I’ve posted various guides, breakdowns, and long lists about things all over the internet.
Now in 2024 as I write out another bullet pointed list I wonder if sometimes people think I write like Chat GPT.
Then I remember that Open AI data scraped Reddit and other platforms to make Chat GPT.
And I look at my Reddit Comment Karma score, and I wonder if Chat GPT talks like me.
#chat gpt#that Reddit score doesn’t even cover everything I just got tired of making accounts for each topic I wanted to infodump on#I’ve never used Chat GPT but I’ve been informed that my lists did make it in to its database and for a super niche subject it spat out#a mangled form of my opinion#which was very bizarre to witness tbh#especially because it was from like 2009 and I remembered where I was when I was writing my hyperfixated organized word vomit#anyways this is inspired by my most recent grout post where I was very intentionally Overly Colloquial because I didn’t want to sound like#a chat gpt faker#I genuinely know things about grout off the top of my head#this is ARTISINAL bullet points HANDCRAFTED by a soulful human who just had to douse everything in bleach

i'm trying to work through some of my video game backlog before i play new games and theres two big titles im planning on getting in september, so
#truly the most random collection of games#listen my backlog is. large#i COULD just try to knock out a bunch of short games (i have their HLTB times listed for that very purpose)#and i SHOULD just play whatever feels the most exciting to me as that's kinda the point of gaming#but instead. here's 12 random titles chosen from the upper portion of my lists#i actually just beat one game yesterday and i have a different (short) game already downloaded onto my laptop to play#but i got a bunch of 3DS games recently and i dont want to blow through them all immediately but#it's exciting to have those as options as well#AAI1+2 comes out in three weeks that should be enough time to beat even the longest title on this list#echoes of wisdom comes out three weeks after that so again. time to squeeze some more in#polls

I can't tell if books are getting worse or if I've just grown too picky. I've always been an avid reader but I've been so disappointed with books over the last year.
#I primarily read books by indie authors and try to give them a lot of grace because I see how difficult self publishing is#but most of the books I've read in recent months are just downright BAD#it's so frustrating when authors don't know their own characters and make them do things that are ooc#and authors have taken to tagging CW and TW lists for their books#something they clearly took from fanfic communities#so why are they so fucking bad at tagging the content in their stories#I'm so irritated#I just want to read a really good book or series that emotionally mentally and sexually pulls me in#but every book I have read in recent months has just been so fucking disappointing#/rant#will probably delete later because I might just be feeling over dramatic right now#but I don't have anywhere else to vent about this

An overly long analysis on who got turned into ink creatures and who’s just a copy
So like many people I have conflicting feelings about the reveal in Dark Revival that some people in the studio are just recreations of their real world counterparts and are not the actual people. I think it’s safe to say a lot of it reeks of retconning to avoid the implications of all these people going missing and being trapped in the cycle indefinitely. And a weird attempt to redeem Joey.
However, there is still a ton of evidence that some of the people we encounter in the studio are in fact the real deal. Mainly because of the damn books. So let’s go over who’s real and who’s not!
1. Twisted Alice
Thank god for clear fucking storytelling. Without a doubt, Twisted Alice is the real Susie Campbell.
Don’t believe me? Let’s go over the evidence. Thankfully, it’s actually in the game itself, in one audiolog;
"I know how much this part means to ya, Susie. Alice means a lot to me too. Gosh, all of my characters do! In fact, I'll let you in on a little secret. I too really believe my characters are more than just drawings. They're alive. They're part of us. And I want people to know them as well as I do. I want people to be able to shake their hands, spend an afternoon with 'em. Love them. Susie, I'll be straight with you. I'm putting together a small project... a little ceremony if you will. If it works, a lot of dreams will come true. And I want you to be a part of it. ...I want you to bring Alice to life once again. What do ya say?"
And if you still don’t believe me, let’s refer to another one of Joey Drew’s audio logs from the same chapter;
"Listen Tommy, I know you boys over at Gent are doing your best, but I'm paying for living attractions, not weird abominations! Whatever that grinning thing was I saw wandering around your office, you better keep it locked up tight! I realize it was a first attempt but imagine if the press caught sight of it! Might scare off investors! And in response to your previous memo: If you claim that your failures are because these things are soulless, then, damn it, we'll get them a soul! After all, I own thousands of them!"
With both of these audio logs in mind, what else could Joey have been planning but to literally make Susie into Alice Angel? For the cherry on top, Alice also recalls many of Susie’s memories throughout Chapter 3 and even directly refers to herself as Susie.
I also want us to keep these audio logs in mind because these confirm that Joey had to have taken human souls from his employees, even if its not as many as we thought.
2. Tom and Allison Angel
Yes, I’m putting these two together. Their characters are pretty closely tied so if one’s real it’s likely the other is. And unfortunately, that is not the case.
Both Tom and Allison are copies.
This is actually something that can be deduced from the first game. In Joey’s house, we get a corkboard of basically three confirmed survivors. Wally Franks, Thomas Connor, and Allison Connor née Pendle. They all politely rejected Joey’s attempts to “reconnect.” This, sidenote, is also partially why I can’t be too mad at the reveal that some people in the studio aren’t the real deal. It was already set up as a real possibility.
On top of that, the memory of Joey in Dark Revival outright confirms that Allison Angel is just based off the real Allison, and not actually her.
So as disappointing as it may be, these two are fakes.
3. Buddy Boris
If you’re only familiar with the games, you might be surprised by this, but real.
In the book, Dreams Come to Life, we are introduced to the character Daniel “Buddy” Lewik. Now spoilers for the book, but he becomes the perfect Boris. This is outright confirmed. We see it happen, and Buddy tells us outright this is the case.
“Now I'm not really Buddy anymore. I am also Boris. Descending deeper into this world of ageing, yellowing madness.”
Case closed.
This book is also some of the most explicit confirmation that at least some of the studio employees entered the Cycle.
4. Sammy Lawrence
REAL. I will not hear anything else!
Alright, let’s revisit Dreams Come to Life, because aside from providing the origin story for our favorite Boris it also clearly illustrates the transformation of Sammy from stressed music director to unhinged prophet.
In the book, an ink pipe bursts and Sammy gets covered in the gunk. Buddy helps him clean up, however some had already gotten into Sammy’s mouth, and he got addicted to it. From there, Sammy’s behavior gets increasingly strange, and he begins drinking the ink whenever he can. Most tellingly, he begins to worship the Ink Demon. He then disappears, in actuality hiding.
Skipping ahead a bit, Buddy is captured alongside another character named Richie. Enter Sammy, now completely transformed into his Lost One-esque appearance. A visual confirmation that Sammy Lawrence became the prophet.
After this point, things get a bit blurry. Sammy is knocked out when Dot comes to rescue Buddy. However, he is not confirmed as dead- at least for good, and in all likelihood survived and entered the Cycle.
5. The Projectionist
Like Sammy and Buddy, Norman’s fate is mostly confirmed via Dreams Come to Life. Thankfully for my time and sanity, his confirmation is a bit simpler.
Norman’s fate is quite abrupt. By the time Buddy and Dot last see him, he’s already dead. Admittedly, my understanding gets fuzzy from here. Joey confirms that his soul was meant to be used, but that he was infected by the ink so there’s very little soul left to use.
I’m not entirely sure what that’s trying to tell us, but I think it is trying to say that Norman did become the Projectionist. Mainly because Joey says there’s little soul left, not that the soul is unusable. It would also leave a pretty loose thread for the Projectionist’s existence if he is not Norman.
On top of this, the achievement you get if you kill the Projectionist in chapter 3 is “Norman’s Fate.” A pretty strong indicator that the Projectionist is actually Norman.
6. Jack Fain
Jack’s status is actually a little hard to determine. There’s nothing that outright confirms he entered the Cycle and nothing that outright confirms he didn’t.
Personally, I think it would not only be a little random for Joey to make a fake Jack Fain, but a fake Jack Fain that’s a searcher of all things. As such, I’m going to conclude that this is the real Jack Fain, for now.
7. Bertrum Piedmont
Again, there’s little confirming either way, but there is a little more detail to suggest that this is the real Bertrum, so I think I’m also going to go with “real Bertrum until proven otherwise.”
8. Henry Stein
This one hurts, but... Fake. I believe at one point in development, this was the real Henry, but unfortunately Dark Revival pretty explicitly confirms that this Henry is just a copy, and there isn’t enough evidence to pull from the first game that proves that’s a lie beyond nitpicking about throwaway lines.
9. Honorable Mentions
We also have two other characters with undetermined fates. Grant Cohen and Lacie Benton. We know they are dead, but have yet to come across a confirmed encounter with them in the studio. There are also numerous characters in the Dark Revival with little confirmation either way.
Conclusion
So to wrap up.
Real: Twisted Alice, Buddy Boris, Sammy Lawrence, and The Projectionist Fake: Allison Angel, Tom, and Henry Technically Unknown but Presumed Real: Bertrum Piedmont and Jack Fain
In conclusion, these games give me a headache. Bye.
#the tism got me#it wouldn't let me rest until I finished this list#anyway I was referencing most of the book info from summaries online#so if you guys know any info that completely contradicts what I have please contribute#Bendy and the Ink Machine#BATIM#Bendy and the Dark Revival#BATDR#Bendy#I am not tagging all these characters#my post#also I wrote this back when Dark Revival was the most recent game#so I'm running with the assumption that Secrets of the Machine doesn't actually reveal that many secrets

actually if goncharov were real it would never live up to the standards the insane tumblrinas have built it up to be. there is a triangle of homoeroticism, political commentary, and inevitably tragic in which any live, real adaptation would only conceivably be able to achieve two of to their fullest extent. added on to the fact that this is a film that supposedly is filmed and takes place in the seventies makes the possibility of it truly containing all aspects of what we have made it out to be even more far fetched. however, tumblr has been able to spin gold on far more real and disappointing media than goncharov through its analyses of media such as supernatural, sherlock, and a secret third piece of media that the subsequent creation and analyses of the ‘greatest mafia movie of all time�� goncharov is simply a natural step that tumblr as an ecosystem is willing to take. in this essay i will,
#goncharov#unreality#peach stuff#goncharov 1973#someone accused me of being an english major (true) (god forbid women do anything) so this is also the natural step to take i suppose#anyway i do think i have a point in that we’re all already so used to performing in depth media analysis on media that simply. is bad. that#creating media from almost literally nothing and performing media analysis on it is just . i mean how can anyone be surprised#also before anyone says anything about it i didn’t mention doctor who in my list of bad media because well ive actually never seen#any episode in its entirety and i do know (as an english major) that science fiction is a fantastic way to deliver political commentary#ive also heard that the most recent season has been doing important work (at least from a meta standpoint) in gender politics#sherlock is. well. other iterations of sherlock holmes have certainly been better. and we all know supernatural is bad#i only listen ‘a secret third thing’ because traditionally it’s good to list three things to cite in your thesis. oldest trick etc#and anyway. that’s all my disclaimers. expect the essay never because im already overworked and underpaid<3

thinking abt when i was in iran before getting femto LASIK at this insanely good eye clinic and the receptionist, without looking up, was like if ur nervous take one of these and pointed to a candy bowl full of beta blockers
#i saw the same candy bowl on like several other receptionists' tables and didn't clock it was full of tablets#anyway Irans medical care is in fact actually insane. still reeling from the fact that i got femto lasik just by calling the eye doctor#asking if he has time tmrw and he was like...yeah sure ill pop into the clinic#and also another surgery that was done like 1 or 2 days after the consultation. this isn't to say they do a rushed job#bc they are phenomenal im just baffled abt the speed of it all. ig im used to the uk where u have like...2 yr long waiting list#but tbf there are a) less qualified ppl here and b) there is def s better work life balance for medics#compared to iran#anyways#also most receptionists were like. recently graduated doctors. so theyd be on their reception shift and then when they finish that they#go straight into the clinic offices and start treating patients etc it was so sleek and fast as a process#anyway i also heard the most horrifying stories there bc this was during the protests do ppl would also come in bc like#their eyes were fucked up by gas or being beaten by the police etc etc it was rly heartbreaking sometimes
