#sorry this was VIVID in my mind

“Hello,” said the jelly. “Will you be my friend?”

Something I think about a whole bunch is how in Nocturne, the event that first really tells us how Toya and Harumichi’s relationship is, Toya mentions how classically trained musicians find it hard to switch to other music genres, such as jazz, due to how jazz relies a lot of improvisation and freedom of expression whereas classical is meant to be followed very strictly, and playing the songs exactly how the composer intended.

Obviously during this event, he confronts his dad, and the arguments at home die down more, however, as we know from Concerto, the guilt of running away from classical still eats away at him.

During the event he is able to talk with his dad and not only remember how many good memories he has from his past alongside the bad, but he is somewhat relieved of that guilt by being reminded that him running doesn’t have to define his past. Being told this allows him to finally make a song he deems worthy for VBS to sing during RAD BLAST.

So for the Concerto comm to be a more jazzy song, it makes the whole event feel so much more impactful. The song itself shows us just how far Toya has come in his development and his growth from when he used to do classical, and how he was able to break through that “classical mindset” he mentions during Nocturne.

If you think about it like that, RAD DOGS having piano and violin in its instrumental feels more impactful too (to me at least). From repurposing those instruments for a song closer to one’s VBS would sing to being able to break into the genre he once thought to be too difficult.

into the deep end - 30k T orufrey fic, focusing on memory trauma, disability, and romance.

the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the other.

for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.

the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.

but they were never whole to begin with, were they?

qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.

olly says nothing.

Someone made eyes on my "Thiollier and St. Trina from Elden Ring make me think of tsams blorbos" post and it's been vaguely marinating in my brain so I wanna elaborate LOL

I think the closest characters to these two is probably Lord Lunar and Servant Eclipse, with Lord Lunar being St. Trina and Servant Eclipse being Thiollier. Another comparison to this vibe is Null and The Atlas from No Mans Sky, but if none of these words mean anything to you, I'm essentially saying: The vibe presented here is someone who utterly worships a being of make greater importance than themselves, but this higher entity seemingly doesn't care for them, or at least just doesn't want to "talk" to them specifically.

A notable component too, though, is that the higher entity doesn't speak in a typical way. St. Trina only speaks after you've fallen into an "eternal slumber" and The Atlas can only eldritch madness beam someone into maybe comprehending its feelings. The characters that worship them either never hear their voice or are abruptly unable to contact them in some way, which very much upsets them due to how deeply they worship the being.

So the vibe with Lord Lunar and Servant Eclipse here would be something like... vague hand motions. A Lord Lunar whose body has been broken down to near nothingness from the star. Pieces of broken plastic and frayed wires and useless components float where they used to be, held only in place by the will of the star still keeping the "outline" of their form. They cannot move. They cannot speak.

And Servant Eclipse who keeps his servant role, who still kneels at their immobile body, who doesn't ever stray far from their side because what else is he meant to do? There is no one else. It's just them, and he will sit there until the last of the floor underneath them finally crumbles away to the natural decay of the universe. He will speak to them, and they cannot speak back. He knows why they can't, but he'll still demand it of them—he isn't even sure if he remembers their voice anymore. The silence afterwards feels louder.

And maybe Lunar still speaks in other ways like The Atlas does—maybe the wind will blow a little harder or maybe the temperature will change a little or maybe something about the visible star power shifts and ripples, vaguely aware of their surroundings and Eclipse beside them—but it's just as likely that Lunar is too battered to even do that. Honestly, I'm more fond of the idea of them both just laying down in the grass, side-by-side, staring at the sky as a world-eater rumbles beneath them and takes away the last bit of ground they had, and that's that. Yea it's lowkey depressing as hell but I like it a lot okay..........

So on anon because i dont want you to feel pressured to answer if you dont want to. From a person who has also be around abuse that revolved around slamming doors and being the loudest one in an argument, i completely understand and i still jump at loud noises. The only thing that has helped me get over jumping at everything was literally just laughing at myself when someone would scare me (obvs not on purpose) and if it was a loud sound out of nowhere (ie like a pallet dropping. Was around those alot at work too) i took a second to just like check in on myself and either mentally or verbally reassure myself that i was safe. Its easier said than done. With the loud sound in public, I would also find someone that i deemed "safe" and then gauge their reactions as well to basically reassure myself that i was indeed safe. I hope this helps.

I think I’m definitely gonna try the reassurance thing, when it happens I usually jump and get tense and it throws my mind off and I want to leave the area immediately, which is just a whole annoying trip of reactions and emotions I try to pass off as not happening either. but I am gonna try some self talk/reassurance, idk why that hasn’t crossed my mind before bc that usually does help when I struggle with other things as well but I’ll try to remember next time it happens. thank you very much

my biggest dissonance is how robert de niro in once upon a time in america actually looks like young carlo (but more handsome than carlo) but noodles character is nothing like him like max is a certifed carlo core. he would do everything max did
