Wait if all the journal 3 pages were restored after Weirdmageddon why does Bill’s book insist there were still missing pages that just conveniently happened to pertain to his incredibly sad backstory and concepts brought up earlier in that same book

Withering Lotus Flower

深深深情幾許 如果一刀能夠化作兩段 • 就讓一切在這地方 鬆綁 • 峯已回 路已轉 此情何苦枉斷腸 • 愛是沒有人能夠解開的兩難

How deep are the deepest feelings if they can be cut clean? • Let's just let everything loose here • The Peak is behind, the path has taken a turn, why should we remain heart broken by these feelings • Love is a dilemma no one can solve

okay, SO although this account is based on a heavily canon-divergent and reworked version of mister bloom, there are some thing's that he says in the comics that i think are REALLY accurate to blamore's way of thinking and/or something that he'd say because he does have this mindset that gotham is past the point of saving... so it would be better to just raze it all to the ground. BUT in such a way that will make it seem like a revolutionary because it preaches that it wants a 'better life' for all gothamites + that they should rise up and TAKE what they want, though he is in fact turning people against each other in the process and killing people because some people don't survive consuming a seed at all... and the ones who do STILL tend to die later. so this is the biggest panel that i think still relates to it:

as well as this one, because blamore really DOES sometimes believe in his own hubris that he is a savior and someone who will bring a new beginning to gotham that everyone needs. except no one will be there to enjoy it besides maybe him and a few others, so his logic is beyond flawed. though i truly do believe that the immense amount of stress he was put under combined with actually dying for about three minutes made something snap in blamore... though, that doesn't excuse his actions or anything he does, of course. i'm just saying that it may do a good job of pretending like it's okay a good amount of the time, but it is SO angry and full of resentment towards humanity in reality. because blamore spent what was about eight years of his life studying to help people and years actually doing so as well, but in his point of view, it didn't seem to help. especially after blamore's father got shot.

on loml why do you think she specifically wrote "i'm combing through the BRAIDS of lies" like why use a hair metaphor here idgi

Braids isn’t literally referring to hair (which I don’t think is what you meant) but it’s the idea that she’s untangling all the lies she’s been told. It’s because all the lies are interwoven with each other.

The imagery to me is also giving that the lies were so plentiful that they created a strong grip, not unlike the way ropes are braided to create a stronger hold to wrap around something.

So when she’s metaphorically combing through the braids of lies, she’s trying to untangle the truth of what happened to her from the lies the person told her.

Also, my own interpretation is that the lies are braided because they’re not just the one person’s; several subjects on the album conned her to varying degrees, intentionally or not, and she’s untangling the loss of dreams from all of the empty promises.

Don’t know if any of this makes sense 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s one of my favourite lines on the album though because it’s so evocative.

Was doing some thinking today and realized that one of the reasons I'm really drawn to Kieran is because he's a rare example of a character that's shy (and usually good-hearted) but still has some rougher edges to him.

I feel like all too often shy characters are shoved into being portrayed as either "smol bean who would never hurt anyone and just wants friends uwu" or "brooding loner who snaps at people to cover up the fact they don't actually know how to socialize" with not a lot of wiggle room in between. While I can and do enjoy characters that (arguably) fall into those respective categories, they're a bit reductive in the sense that things are very rarely that black and white in reality. Even the kindest people have a limit to what they can tolerate. They have bad days or respond poorly to events around them that cause them stress. And the same can be said in reverse as well—point being, people are multifaceted and don't always behave as predictably as we'd like to think.

And I think Kieran reflects that dichotomy perfectly. When we first meet him, he's meek, timid, and relies heavily on his more brash and forceful older sister to help him navigate social situations where he would otherwise lose out on something valuable because he's too afraid to come forward and ask for what he wants (like how she has to ask the player to battle him on his behalf). He's often quick to cower whenever she starts to get heated, but he's also not afraid to point out when he thinks she's wrong and sometimes even gets sassy with her himself. He's undeniably sweet and gentle and shows eagerness to make friends with the player, but he becomes much more curt when he notices we're lying to him about Ogerpon. The rest of the Teal Mask storyline shows him fluctuating even further—yelling at Carmine and the player for keeping secrets from him, punching things in fits of anger...then backpedaling and apologizing for the trouble he caused a few scenes later. Spreading the truth about Ogerpon to everyone in the village to help make her happy...then selfishly demanding a battle to see who's worthy of being her Trainer when she has already clearly chosen the player.

After being lied to and suffering repeated losses at our hands (including the Pokemon he's idolized all his life choosing us over him), he leans even more heavily into his bitter side during the Indigo Disk—being cold and ruthless to pretty much everyone around him, but at the end of the day it's primarily overcompensation for what he perceives as his own personal weakness (because he's still just a kid trying to be taken seriously). He's shown to drop the act on multiple occasions—most notably when he's caught off guard by our appearance at Blueberry Academy and at a few points during the Area Zero expedition. He antagonizes the player up until the moment of his defeat and tries to catch and use Terapagos in a last-ditch moment of desperation that ends up going horribly wrong, but after everything resolves he's quick to admit his mistakes and asks the player for forgiveness and if they can still be friends. After the epilogue he's mostly back to his old self, but still seems to get worked up when provoked (e.g. when he yells at Drayton for refusing to stop calling him "ex-Champ" in one of their League Club Room interactions).

And I think this varied and sometimes contradictory behavior is precisely why Kieran is such a cohesive and believable character—because it shows how even kind, well-meaning people may have a hidden darker side that can show itself under the right circumstances. How they might let their insecurities get the better of them. How a shy, timid kid might not have the experience to know how to deal with sudden feelings of frustration and/or jealousy that are far too strong to keep to himself, so he lashes out as a result. How despite all this he remains kind, sensitive and loving at his core and shows willingness to learn from his mistakes. And that is what makes him so compelling to me.

What are you on about? Who's Faust? Are you good, Will?

Will looked horribly startled for a second, the flood of panic rolling down his spine and making his hands clutch each other, whiteknuckling his own fingers in an attempt to keep them still. Had he been imagining him again...? Another hallucination tormenting him with the near presence of someone who'd left a hole of their shape in his soul? God.... He couldn't keep doing this, not again. They couldn't see him could they. He was alone again, completely and utterly. Never had been anything but it seemed. "I-.... Don't want to talk about it," He said eventually, voice wobbly and eyes glossy, hands letting go to rub over his face.

is it that one scene from the show that you reference and can’t find or has it been from a fanfic the whole time.

[majorshatterandhare]

I’m thinking about how the Mechs use energy, because they do things and live and therefore they *must* use energy, that’s how physics (and biology) work.

I had the idea that they are always absolutely frigid to the touch because they suck in heat from the environment like an endothermic chemical reaction.

NEW MUSE ADDITIONS

i've already mentioned this before but given i've now caught up, it's time for the official announcement of THREE NEW MUSES from hsr-

G.ALLAGHER

multiple people assigned this muse to me on looks alone before we even knew anything about him, so i had a space ready for him a long time ago. hyv really out here giving me all the dogboys, huh-

DR. RATIO

aka, charlie is a terrible influence and convinced me i'll write a good ratio so........... i gave in to the temptation. and, let's be real, he's also my kind of character-

L.UOCHA

this guy is on the PRIVATE LIST and not the main roster - meaning you'll have to ask for him as i won't offer him out initially (once we've discussed / built dynamics, i'll throw him at you whenever it feels right, however). he'll also be rather selective until i do some research / find his voice. but i just.... this guy fascinates me.
