#so it's just serendipity

[caligvlasaqvarivm]

Serendipity should be required viewing material before anyone tries to analyze Homestuck; not only is John Cusack a universal constant, but the themes and vibes of Serendipity are so fundamentally woven into Homestuck's DNA that several of Serendipity's thesises and conversations could be lifted directly from one to the other.

In particular, the way Serendipity utilizes coincidence and circumstantially simultaneous events in order to suggest - nay, decree - that the two leads belong together, is highly reminiscent of the way Hussie uses foreshadowing, and not just for romantic couples. It's also a major window into the ultimate stance Homestuck takes with regard to romance, fate, and destiny, and also more specifically, a really good look at Karkat's own personal philosophies of romance. There's a running theme in his movies of meeting someone that perfectly matches your freak, someone you don't ever need to compromise yourself around, who brings out the best in you.

Also, some of yall need to watch a shitty romcom every once in a while and develop some emotions

It's been a week since I got back from Tokyo, and I'm still disappointed by the Kingdom Hearts Ichiban Kuji. It was supposed to start the 31st of May, the day I was flying home. But I checked like a dozen participating 7/11 stores before I went to the airport, and none of them had started it yet. Sigh...

As a silver lining, I did find a 7/11 that had those chocolate wafers out early, so I grabbed a few.

Came with that Missing Link pre-registration and everything. Wonder what's going on with that... And while I'm showing stuff off, here's the other KH merch I bought in my limited time!

u did not hear this from me but au where kimchay meet a few years later in life, when Chay is a rising musician who joins a tv competition in the hopes of making his mainstream break and Wik has made such a huge impact in the music industry that he's invited to mentor and judge said competition!!!!!! Chay's confidence is shaky at the start but HEY GUESS WHO SAVES HIM AND GIVES HIM A CHANCE AT THE LAST MOMENT AND BECOMES HIS MENTOR?

hey if anyone in my neighbourhood saw me walk the same path over and over again for 2 hours, it's because the characters in my phone were in imminent danger. one is a frog who could not be hit but also consistently rolled 3s. one i'm listening to in two campaigns, at complementary narrative points, and rolled both a nat 1 and 20 on death saves. one is played by emily axford, so. and one was murph as terrifying as i've ever heard him, a treat for a self-proclaimed murph girlie. i could not be trusted with tasks such as crossing the street. does that make sense.

Impressive action heroes! So cool and dashing and daring! (From he/re, meme still open ♥)

huge phase rn dw about it but

Forbidden Family Odyssey AU

featuring: Eugene as Odysseus

Most specifically I think it'd be funny to put Eugene through The Horrors for 10 years (imprisonment) and then The Trials for another 10 years (trying to get back home)

I'd imagine ?? In this AU, Gavus managed to escape the invasion with the kids (or one of the kids... haven't decided yet) while Eugene was captured, splitting the family apart for 10 years. Then Eugene breaks out (whether or not with his own wit or with the aid of the kids) and spends another 10 years struggling to get home to his family.

All the while he's chased by Conrad, avoiding the Esperia vs. Hypogean War, and trying to figure out where the hell Gavus and the kids even are at the moment.

No, because I'm not over processing "Now & Then" and freaking out about what a perfect epilogue it is for the Beatles, but also what a perfect homage it is to John & Paul's friendship. And how much it feels like destiny.

The words "Now & Then" have so many strange ties to these boys. Because:

-> John's last words to Paul (during a meeting that no one could expect was their last) were: "think about me every now & then old friend".

-> John was murdered in December 1980. In February of 1981 a friend of Paul's - fellow musician Carl Perkins spent a week with him, participating in a recording of a song for his album. To thank him and Linda for their hospitality during the time, the night before he was meant to leave, Carl sat down and spontaneously wrote them a song titled "My Old Friend". He played it to them the next morning and Paul started crying and had to leave to gather himself. Linda McCartney then assured Carl it was okay and thanked him for helping Paul, because he had problems facing his emotions about the attack before that. And then she stopped and asked him "but how did you know?" and Carl had no idea what she meant. She explained that the only people who knew what John's last words to Paul were was her and Paul himself. And then she revealed what those words were. Carl had no idea, but he ended up accidentally including them in that song.

The chorus of that song went as follows:

My old friend, Thanks for inviting me in My old friend, May this goodbye never mean the end And if we never meet again this side of life In a little while, over yonder, Where it’s peace and quiet My old friend, Won’t you think about me every now and then

Paul then insisted on recording that song with Carl Perkins, which they did - and recalling that story later Carl said that Paul felt like that song was sent to him by John through Carl.

-> By now we all know the story of how this "new" Beatles song came to be - After John's death, Yoko found a demo tape of songs he never completed, that she then handed over to Paul so that him, George & Ringo could record the last new Beatles songs in 1995 as part of an anthology that was being released. (they wanted to record new material, but had promised never to do so without all the members included. So using these demos was the only way).

There's lots of places that claim the tape with the demos had "For Paul" written on it by John - but admittedly, I haven't actually seen a source quoted. Still - the fact that one of the songs on that last demo of new material they ever got from John was titled with some of the last words he ever said to his best friend? The lyrics of that song being what they are? Come on.

(It very much also just felt like a song for Paul to me. With how complex that relationship was - how intense all the emotions were - through love and diss tracks to still calling each other best friends while they weren't on good terms. Missing each other).

Then - destiny working the way it did, not allowing them to record that one track in 1995 because of the awful quality. Making it so that it was their actual last song in 2023. Because only now did the technology allow for seperating those vocals and fixing them up so that they can actually be used.

Like are you kidding me??? It was that one. The one that felt most special.

-> Bonus fact. The back of the record sleeve has a photo of a special art piece on it - from George Harrison's collection. One that provides another serendipitous moment in connection to these words:

And I'm just supposed to be alright with all of this?????????

Meet the MC!

i forgot about this lmao but we have some facts about the player character!! i think these were originally a separate teaser and bio post but whatever, this is MY sideblog.

Meet Tsubasa Fujimoto*, a 19-year old university student with a practical, hard-working nature who has been thrown into a new, unwanted life filled with supernatural phenomena.

During a weekend visit your mother revealed to you your true nature as a homunculus – an artificial human made through alchemy – and you have been wondering if you truly exist ever since. Your new sorceress powers are overwhelming and undesired, but you are determined to gain control of them.

*name is changeable.

Here’s some facts about our MC, Tsubasa Fujimoto:

She likes practicality and logic

She’s a closet shoujo and otome fan and loves reading

She enjoys roller coasters and extreme rides in general.

She likes the quiet and the sound of rain.

She enjoys Takumi’s detective stories, Hikaru’s ancient tales of Japan, Shou’s jokes and hearing about Shinji’s spirit encounters.

So, you don't know what a homunculus is? Here’s a little info on them for you:

It is exceedingly rare that a homunculus is ever successfully created, as it is an extremely complex and dangerous process. Because of this there have only been a few of them ever created. Homunculi are alchemically created artificial humans. More often than not they are a physical and biological copy of their creator, although it is not completely uncommon for the alchemist to attempt to recreate a dead loved one. Because of the low success rate of creating homunculi, not much is known about their nature. It is unknown if they harbor any additional abilities or traits outside of the person they were meant to represent. - An excerpt from Professor Sapienti’s book: Beyond Humanity
