All the incidents that were to be so you could be you

Our wassail is made of the elderberry bough / And so my good neighbors we'll drink unto thou / Besides all on earth, you have apples in store / Pray let us come in for it's cold by the door...

[have put the good-quality file of this up for pay-what-you-want on ye olde ko-fi in case you want to print this out and use it for its intended purpose. send it to your grandma. send it to your friends. send it to bernard cornwell on facebook. if you want.]

laudna might be horrifically corrupted by an endlessly evil and manipulative presence but she does have a fair fucking point and i wish someone in the party explicitly stood up for that. it's inappropriate to assume that the people around you will be comfortable with you wielding the blade that they lost their life by, or watched their love die by. just because you died by it and your love died by it and you still want to use it to strengthen yourself and for poetic justice doesn't mean that everyone with that experience will be able to stomach it, let alone support it

and laudna especially, plunged into darkstone for what felt like a lifetime because of it and struggling for weeks on end to come to terms with how she was changed by it. the implied trauma olympics of "that sword is orym's to do with what he wants" is so invalidating to the complicated, messy, scary, ugly experiences and feelings that laudna (and fearne) has attached to it. it doesn't matter the body count of loved ones felled by the thing, it only matters how each person is affected by it

one of these days i'm writing some kind of essay about lost media and humanity's need to solve loose ends. people only care about it because its lost. people only know its lost because somebody cared about it. it's such an achingly beautiful concept. it's such a horrifying fate. it's about mortality and the traitor that is memory and about love. its about the human spirit and a new kind of folklore. all forms of media preservation are a race against the deprecation and physical decomposition of their storage medium. i hope there's a heaven for art.

slowly. crawling back online. the laptop I'm borrowing has a funny quirk where if the temperatures get too cold, it won't turn back on. I spent five days trying to frakenstein it back to life before finding a forum where someone had the same problem, and then spent a day. uh. warming it back up to a state where it would turn on, which was extremely harrowing. as someone who grew up working with computers: warming one up goes against every instinct that I have.

anyway. hello. technology. gotta love it!

I MISS SR1/SR2 I JUST WANNA GO BACK TO STILWATERRR

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

been very busy with the holidays, so i'm just now getting to compiling and editing the best moments of s5 list. my big takeaways so far are:

1. redux arc is always going to be That Bitch (the best and most great of arcs, forever and ever, amen)

2. walter skinner... we don't deserve you...

3. bill scully is not That Bitch, which is a phrase used in a positive context, but A Bitch (an awful man, an evil individual, just a diabolical guy)

feeling some serious temptation with this year's At the Front Black Friday sale

there are two kinds of products for which, I have come to learn, I am a desperate slut

a good piece of outdoor fabric useful for protection from the elements, especially if it's waterproof

and a good bag or box for storage

this year the U.S. raincoat is on sale (bought it)

and this aviator kit bag, too, is on sale, and it's possible I will buy it

I have a Bundeswehr surplus bag that is a riff on this design and it's magnificent. This one being in a USAAC pattern is highly tempting. It has two brass zippers and note that button-over section that closes over where the zippers meet. This specific pattern is one that I would characterize as "tasteful fantasy," in that the handle straps are made of parachute harness webbing, which was not used at the time but could have been. But the fact that it's parachute harness webbing. You know?
