memory exercise 001: lovers on the beach

The goal of this exercise is to figure out which part of the memory is worth preserving. Sometimes we find ourselves too attached to the negative, painful, or discomforting aspects of a moment and build an entire world around those feelings. Using photos, video, audio, and ephemera to reconstruct an experience that may have otherwise been clouded in my mind.

This trip, for example, was sorta stressful before we reached the beach, but none of that matters now. The feeling of a silver lining carried us through and that’s the feeling I choose to hold on to. I smiled the whole time while editing.

f.f.: Early morning in the fall,

f.f.: warm sunlight bright through the car windows.

f.f.: Warm in the car but cold outside

f.f.: his car.

f.f.: How should I know how old I am?

f.f.: I've got my legs kicked up in an unnatural

but comfortable position

f.f.: and I'm humming along to the radio.

f.f.: I was told to be here, but that's not why I'm here.

f.f.: I was at the doctor's office

f.f.: but soon I'll be in town.

f.f.: The rushing of the road under the wheels,

wind in my ears, radio static.

f.f.: He's driving. His car, remember?

f.f.: There are trees, outside. Brown leaves.

Orange lighting.

f.f.: The grey dashboard, hard and soft, the window.

f.f.: Everything rushes by, a head rush.

f.f.: He is stable, still. Focused on driving.

f.f.: The back seat feels more empty than usual.

f.f.: He keeps his car clean.

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

I don't play destiny anymore but this was a very important piece I wanted to redraw. I will always be fond of my silly interpretation even if it's not correct or canon

up late bc i keep thinking ab adlerbell and how bell is this vehicle of and for adler’s pain…….. like literally in the sense that all of bell’s memories and trauma of vietnam is imprinted onto them by adler, but also based on adler’s own memories of vietnam, how bell’s trauma and pain isn’t only theirs but adler’s too- that the two are not bound by the false camaraderie bell believes they share but instead bound by suffering, borne of adler’s. bell’s pain IS HIS pain.

and like,, does he know what bell dreams about when they wake screaming in the middle of the night?? does he share those same dreams too?? does he ever listen to bell talk about vietnam and feel, in a way nobody else possibly can, understood?? or does he feel angry, that they carry his trauma and his pain as though it were their own?? or envious, that the pain they feel isn’t even real, and that they were, for a time, spared of the horrors he endured?? or does he feel some sick satisfaction in knowing that the pain they feel is his?? that his enemy feels what he feels?? that they are bound and locked together, nearly sanctified in joint suffering??

does he care?? does he care????? i need to sit down,,,,,

The list of health benefits that come along with regular exercise may have grown with a new study uncovering a link between staying active and the size of parts of the brain responsible for memory and learning capabilities. Even better, the exercise doesn't have to be overly intense or prolonged to have brain boosting effects, according to the experts behind the study. The team included researchers from the Pacific Neuroscience Institute Brain Health Center (PBHC) at Providence Saint John's Health Center and Washington University in St. Louis.

Highkey scared to post this, but. Guys is it underage if I'm 16 and she's only lived for an hour or so

@thunder-threnodies morgan can definitely try!!!

the scoundrel REALLY doesn't take well to dream intrusions. they don't take well to any amount of messing with their mind, but. well. dreams are perhaps the thing that irritates them most of all. any amount of scoundrel dream diving would have to be quick, delicate, and most definitely behind their back- and they will notice regardless, and they will hold a grudge for the rest of their stupidly long batty life about it.

as for the actual contents of those dreams, well...

when they first achieved their ambition, the scoundrel used to dream of flower fields and starry skies. as time has gone on, this dream has. Distorted, somewhat.

the flowers have become wilder. the grass has become twisted and tangled amidst thorns and thickets. the stars have started blinking in and out of existence. ice has started creeping up along the edges of her mind, like a memory she just. can't quite get rid of.

(there's a certain city in the distance. he always tries not to look at it. he always fails.)

it's oddly peaceful, once you get past the frost and the foliage. the scoundrel usually sits at the valley's heart, surrounded by a web of dahlias and daisies. her exact dreams vary wildly, but no matter what, he always plays them out at the center, like the entire dreamscape is just a stage for that night's particular performance. there's always a chance to step away and go further into the field, if he wills it. he never seems to realize it's an option in the first place.

when her mind is kind, and quiet, she does have normal nights. simple time spent with her paramours. joyous days as a beast, hanging upside down and snacking on fruit and bugs to her heart's content. simply existing as she wills it.

but. well. most of her plays aren't that. most of her plays can only be best described as nightmares. her entire dreamscape is essentially one big fancy backdrop to that.

most often the play is a memory. a small mistake she made, a social interaction she floundered. sometimes it's a surgical appointment with her coworkers. sometimes it's an argument with someone he's never gotten over. sometimes it's performing open heart surgery on someone wearing her own face. sometimes it's a monkey and a single bronze fruit, never eaten.

sometimes it's a corpse pinning him against the ground and screaming, wailing, begging for the answer as to why he's done what he's done.

other times her dream-performance is more... esoteric. flocks of bats he can't quite recognize. a mirror he can't quite look through. a star commanding him to put a leash around his neck, which he obeys with utmost gratitude.

he tends to prefer those nights. they hit less closer to home.

for all of his power in parabola, he gets lost in his own dreams... Very Very Very Easily. it's probably part of why he's so protective over them. being seen completely enveloped in a torment nexus your own mind made up isn't exactly stellar for one's image. having her dreams exposed and sifted through is Deeply Unpleasant to the scoundrel. it means she's vulnerable. open. human.

and her mind can't imagine anything more terrifying than that.

The real reason the Doctor knew Mel was dead was because she didn't mention carrot juice once.
