Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

Thinking about the symbolic weight of smoking in the TLT universe that comes to the fore in The Unwanted Guest -- the way it moves through from person to person: Pyrrha smoked, and Augustine wanted to impress her in all her stone cold fox MILF James Bond glory (and tbf who wouldn't) so he started too. and even though as far as he knows she's been gone for a myriad and is never coming back, he keeps the habit. Ianthe sees something in the hollowed-out Faberge eggshell of Augustine that resonates with her, all that gilded eloquent emptiness and disdain through the ages, so she picked it up from him to try to emulate it. She picked it up so hard that Palamedes -- the exact spiritual antithesis of the 'smoking! on a space station! what a powermove' ennui Ianthe so admired -- spontaneously unnerded enough to even known how to, simply from a sort of contact contamination of the soul.

G1deon and Augustine sharing a jittery smoke after their near-Harrow experience during soup night, and it's the closest thing to any real sense of brotherhood that remains between them. Pyrrha going ten thousand years dying both literally and for a smoke (and then Camilla sold her fucking cigarettes (for a third of what they were worth, probably Pyrrha's own good, and also more importantly grocery money). what an entirely haunted time to be alive etc.). Augustine and Mercy trading a cigarette back and forth in the middle of their collusion over the love and murder of god.

An act of small and measured self-destruction in the name of something a little bit like connection when you're stuck somewhere in yourself where love itself dares not or cannot tread (ritualized, transmissible)..........

Please tell me about art and media you know of that accurately captures the weirdness of dream logic and atmosphere and emotions... books and movies and video games and art and comics and YouTube stuff, whatever you want... you know, where it only makes sense on an intuitive level and falls apart when you try to explain it...

Why yes, I know about Dungeon Nights. Would I play it? Of course! Would I try to date Crow Mauler? ABSOLUTELY.

Why did I put Crow Mauler in a suit? HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO LOOK NICE.

There's always a danger of caring too much about a story, and then getting paralyzed by the need to do it justice, so it never gets written.

I've solved this problem in the past by writing stories so fast that I don't have time to get too invested, or writing stories that I'm not that attached to.

But maybe the trick is to love the story so much that I want to share it any way I can, even if it's imperfect. To feel that any version of this story is better than the story never getting written at all. To get out of my own way and stop worrying about what other people will think of my writing, or even what I think of my writing, and love the story for its own sake, love the readers enough to want to have the joy of sharing the story with them.

Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't. But so far it feels like a much better approach.

ns has the burnt part of his wings plucked or cut off every time he falls. ends up with less and less wing.

you people come up with such evil ideas i think

[katierosefun]

my cancelled-able trait from the queer community would be that i really apparently love messy endings. i love u happy endings and i also love u such sad, messy, ambiguous endings . . . i love u endings where u have this weird pit in the bottom of your stomach because you know that there's love here but u have no idea what to do with it and u just have to deal with the fact that someone is profoundly affecting your life and you're not gonna get closure from it anytime soon . . . i love u queer love stories where it's really just "u don't always get to see the sunshine and rainbows at the end of it . . . sometimes all that's left is just one big question mark and the quiet hope that they get their shit together" . . .

okay like the thing is that suicide jokes and such are probably not that bad or that big of a deal if you're not really suicidal but if you're For Real suicidal or have been before and are not doing well mentally and you keep making them and start finding comfort in the thought you could kill yourself if you wanted to. be careful

Sad Domino Twin Stuff

I haven't posted a whole lot on here recently but it's because I've not had much to discuss. My rewatch of TBB ground to a halt after 1x1 because of uni stuff getting in the way (I'll get round to it eventually).

But to fill the time, here's a depressing hypothetical Tales-of-the-Jedi-style episode I came up with about the Domino Twins! Because I'm nothing if not a consistent source of chaos and misery :)

Gonna tag @saturn-sends-hugs and @phis-writing for funsies but they might both hate me after this <3

Okay, so imagine this:

The episode opens and we're on Kamino, with Echo and Fives in an empty bunk room talking about an upcoming mission. Echo's feeling particularly nervous about this mission (cue an "I've got a bad feeling about this" reference) but Fives reassures him that it's going to be fine. They got through Rishi and the attack on Kamino, they can get out of this mission okay (throw in a little bit of sibling banter as Fives tries to get Echo to relax a bit). Echo finally loosens up and Fives states that they need to get moving before Rex has to come and find them because "Jedi Master Piell isn't going to rescue himself". (Don't think it isn't going to get worse from here. It will). The scene ends with the door closing on them as they leave the barracks.

The setting doesn't change. Instead, the next scene starts with the same door opening, but rather than both twins, it's just Fives, shoulders slumped and helmet on. He sits down on one of the beds and clenches his fists. After a few moments he takes his helmet off, staring at the design, tears in his eyes, lump in his throat. In a sudden burst of anger he flings his helmet across the room and puts his head in his hands. This is how Rex finds him, sat on the bed, sobbing. We spend a few moments with Rex and Fives as the Captain sits next to him and tries to comfort his brother (and himself). This would be a good chance to throw in some dialogue about them reminiscing: Rex picking up the twins on Rishi, their promotion to ARC troopers etc.

Rex then pulls Fives into a hug before we cut to a close up of Rex's face (just his face, nothing else. This is going to be relevant in a few seconds). Heartbroken and cradling his brother, Rex simply says "I'm sorry" and closes his eyes. And then when he opens them again he says "I'm so sorry, Echo". We zoom back out, but instead of hugging Fives, he's hugging the other twin.

Same room, same position, but we've jumped forward in time to after Echo's rescue. Instead of apologising to Fives, the captain is now apologising to Echo, having just told him what happened to his brother. Eventually, they get up to leave and the episode ends with the door closing on them the same way that it closed on the Domino Twins earlier on in the episode.

So uh... have fun with this I guess! Or yell at me. That tends to happen when I bring up sad Domino Twin stuff :)

When I tell you that this has been floating around in my head for a while... For months (months!) it has kept coming back to me. But now I've finally written it down and you all get to share in my misery with me! <3
