“I guess that's why we feel the need to hide away and protect ourselves. So we put on a mask. It's not hard to understand why. What's hard is knowing that sometimes... the mask is who you really are.”

My boy, there was a time people called me the "Executioner". Or was that my axe? No matter, heads will roll all the same!

tagged by @hereticaas -- thank you!

make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. see which character is everyone's favourite.

okay so I have zero chill on EpisodeSevenWeekendEve and i'm going to kind of bend the rules here. they're five different characters, but they're all the same character--kind of. is he my fav characters of all time? HE IS/ARE TONIGHT, FRIENDS.

which lestat is your favorite lestat: lestat as recounted by louis, lestat as written about in claudia's diaries, lestat as relayed by armand, louis's 1940s dreamstat hallucinations, or the real lestat, whom we have yet to meet televised as of 21 june 2024?

(no sixth opt-out/nuanced/all-of-the-above/none-of-the-above option, you are brutally forced to choose)

if you are reading this, I am tagging *you* to do a five favs poll, too

Nothing compares to the feeling when things click in place and the planets align and you finally figure out how to properly use a character so you get to see them absolutely wreck enemies like a proud parent

Outfit swap between two of my favorite characters!

They both go through something that changes them physically and mentally (Phoenix losing his badge and Ingo getting sent to Hisui), they both radiate middle age dad vibes despite only being in their 30s (Ingo is unconfirmed but that's my headcanon so whatever), they're both helpful to the player character of the games their in (Phoenix less so), and they both give me gender envy.

I love both of these characters so much and I love thinking about all the changes they went through and how they managed to move on and make new lives, and I really look up to them for that especially during a time when a lot is going on in my life. And sure, they can dress is raggy coats and hoodies and whatever, but they look good doing it and I wanna emulate their vibes, y'know! Anyway, just a lot of words for my self-indulgent drawing 💙🖤

ignore everything i said back in late may/early june. i was hypomanic and, consequently, unreasonably angry for most of that time. 👍👍👍

just remembered, had a nightmare last night about one of my coworkers quitting out of the blue. I was so distraught it woke me up several hours before my alarm

(putting my brain in a chokehold) ARE YOU GETTING TOO ATTACHED TO RANDOM PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU THE TINIEST AMOUNT OF POSITIVE ATTENTION AGAIN? STOP THAT!!!

made the dumbas mistake of thinking it would be fun to hang upside down on the couch for a few seconds, forgetting the wise words of my old chiropractor ("dont do that") and its been an hour and a half since then and i still feel nauseous and dizzy

how do you find wilderness years books in the states? i keep looking for VNAs and EDAs in my local used book stores and they’re really hard to come across if you’re not in the UK (and i live in a big city). do you have any tips?

Alas geography is in my favor here -- the oldest independent science fiction bookstore in the United States is here in the Twin Cities, and they have a lot of used paperbacks along with their newer novels, including said VNAs. It's the only place I've ever come across Wilderness Years books, with the exception of the one or two that got reprinted for the 50th anniversary.

They do technically have a website (that, like I would expect from a sci-fi bookstore founded in 1974 and mostly run by one guy, looks like it dates to about the 90s) but the only used books they have cataloged for purchase there are autographed copies. That said, there is an email address on the site, so if you're feeling particularly determined, you could maybe inquire about what they have in stock?

I wish I had better tips, but living in a pair of cities with a long, strong history of supporting independent booksellers is the best one I've got. Uncle Hugo's is absolutely beloved here in part because it's such a rarity, and has things you can't find many other places. If your own city has any places specializing in sci-fi media, you might have some luck -- I imagine many of them also probably sell used books, though maybe not all. If not, seeking one out when you're visiting a city that does have one is never a bad idea!
