KINGERS WIFE!!!
In celebration of the third episode of the amazing digital circus coming out, I’m posting these old sketches. I did these back when episode two came out. I am so ecstatic that they talked about kingers wife. She was literally my favorite theory, i sooooo glad she’s canon.

This description of Queenie in the glossary of the eidolon is pretty funny, considering.
#the eidolon#the tarot sequence#i knew about it ahead of reading this book but honestly this was so pleasing honestly#i know after the first book came out a lot of people were like… ‘hey and why is one of the only women in this book a housekeeper who lives#to serve the MCs?#and he’s added more women since but she’s still been in the background. continuing to have no purpose but Incomprehensible Housekeeper#(how do two broke guys who live in half a house afford a housekeeper? how did they decide this was a good financial decision?)#and well… now were finally finding out why :)#‘oh that’s queenie. she’s been with us forever. don’t worry about it don’t think about it :)’

Hi Queenie! My other question is how did you realise that Josh, Sam, Chris and Ashley were the characters you wanted to focus on in The Almosts? :))
well hey again!!!! ;)c
oh, i wish i had some sort of deep, meaningful answer for you here. i wish i could say that i saw some sort of potential in them. that the symbolism compelled me. that the character dynamics drew me in and that i knew from the instant they interacted on-screen i wouldn't be able to let them go.................................
but in all honesty, focusing on them really came down to two factors: (1) i was very, VERY intrigued by josh's prank affecting chris, ashley, and sam more than the others and wanted to dive into why that might've been, and (2) uh...i...i project on those four.
a lot.
asdlkfjslkdjflsdjf hahahahahahaha fr tho, at the end of the day, the almosts BECAME the almosts due in large part to how much of my own issues and foibles i saw in them. getting to go character by character and say "well, you get my anxiety, and you get my obsession with awful movies, and you get all the rest of my terrible coping mechanisms, and you get my deep, irrepressible need to talk at the worst possible moments, now RECONCILE ALL OF THAT" was incredibly therapeutic 🤣
i love the other ud kids too, PLEASE don't get me wrong, but i see...so much less of myself in them. and for that reason, i think it would've been a lot harder to flesh out such an emotional narrative from their points of view!
#galaxyrainbowcat#asks#the almosts#queenie rambles about supermassive#hehehehehehe aw man i cant even tell you how much delight this gave me today ty! <3#any day i get to ramble about t(a) is a good day in my book

So, for your interpretation of Queenie, what do you think she was like when she started going bonkers? What was it like between her and Kinger?
I think, to better describe and interpret her personality she’s an extremely independent individual.
Before she started to lose it, she was likely very straightforward too, not in like a bitch way? But in a “I can handle myself, I don’t need anyone doing things for me.” I still think she was kind, nice to people if they were nice to her but she could be a little judgemental at times. The type to judge a book by its cover but she wouldn’t voice it unless she deemed necessary.
Now with Kinger, I like to imagine Kinger fell, and he fell hard. Queenie however, she fell, and she was was in immense denial. I like to think they were both older of course, adults and single and not in relationships at their age for different reasons. Queenies case is that she was too independent, thought she didn’t need a partner and that ultimately made her lonely and miss out on relationships. It also is the reason they just seem so hard for her until Kinger came along.
Idk, to sum up how I perceive their relationship- picture them bickering over who’s going to open the door for one another.
#I saw a tiktok where a couple arrived at a restaurant and then booked it#racing to get to the door first and they were fighting over it lmfao#I think that’s them#kinger wants to do things for her#Queenie doesn’t like things being done for her and she wants to hold it for him#you get the idea#tadc#the amazing digital circus#kinger#tadc kinger#queenie#tadc queenie

Have been listening to 『なんか IWAKAN!』, which is a Japanese gender studies/queer podcast recently, both with an eye on a course I'm designing for next semester and as some chill listening practice for me, so this morning at 8:30 am I was jumpscared by them suddenly starting to talk about クワロマンティック (quoiromantic).
It's interesting listening, for anyone who happens to speak Japanese. One of the really striking things about it for me was how little they seemed to associate quoiromantic with ace or aro communities. Part of that is probably demographic--of the four people on this episode, one said they were probably ace and the other three are not--but it does mean that the conversation goes in different directions than a lot of the wtfromantic/quoiromantic conversations I have seen in Anglophone communities. For example, they spend a lot of time talking about how quoiromantic is helpful because many of them never thought about the difference between romantic and sexual orientation--but quoiromantic in Anglophone communities is often a pushback against romantic orientation. (Also, a lot of the examples that the regular presenters bring up would, in Anglophone ace communities, often tend to be classed as mismatched romantic and sexual orientations, e.g. a gay man having strong non-sexual attraction to a female friend or a straight woman having strong non-sexual attraction to a female friend.) There's also discussion of polyamory and alternative family/relationship structures, romantic friendship, the assumption that two people who have the possibility of being attracted to each other will always wind up dating, and S関係 (S relationships). It is really interesting to see a lot of conversations that I've seen primarily in ace communities being picked up and lauded as useful by larger queer spaces...but (at least in this case) being sort of divorced from a lot of their history and context. But, then again, it's a 40-minute podcast that's a supplement to a special issue of their magazine and an in-person event they were running, so they probably couldn't cover all possible topics. (Also I personally know most of the coiners and popularizers of wtfromantic/quoiromantic, so I may have...more knowledge...than is normal...)
(Also very charming when the guest speaker is like, "oh, can I swear on this show, do you have to bleep it out" and then upon getting confirmation that swearing is okay, going, "WHAT THE FUCK ロマンティック.")
#a post??? from Queenie???? in the year 2023??? what miracle is this#I don't remember what any of my tags are on this blog#asexuality in Japan#was that a tag???? I don't know.#quoiromantic#wtfromantic#anyway I have to go finish a book review and also check a proposal utilizing my research so. back to my slumbers

Falling in love with characters who die is one of the best parts of experiencing a story. It's visceral. You care because they matter.
What is so much worse is falling in love with characters who don't die-- but change, fundamentally. The ghost of the character you love haunts the narrative, but it's not them, and it never will be again.
#i'm re-reading The Locked Tomb and i'm back in The Big Feels#i'm so fucked up about Gideon Nav that I can't handle it#spent all of HtN without Gideon but also kind of not really#then we get her back just to lose her again at the beginning of NtN#then we get Kiriona -- i sobbed the first time i read it and didn't pick the book up for days#don't even get me started on Paul#personal#queenie's void thoughts

"Queenie, herself again, took hold of Maddie’s hand and squeezed it tightly. She walked all the way back across the airfield without letting it go. Maddie closed her eyes and flew again in the ethereal, pale green light. She knew she would never let it go."

Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she’s constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places…including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth. As Queenie careens from one questionable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, “What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be?”—all of the questions today’s woman must face in a world trying to answer them for her.
