Jonathan Sims is Theseus' Ship
Jonathan Sims is Theseus' Ship. He's a question on how many pieces of someone can be carved out before there fundamentally different. A question of how many of those pieces can be replaced by something other, something he never asked for until he's not him anymore. At what point, in the slow, seasons-long degradation of himself does Jon give way to The Archivist? And by season 5, there is a very real threat that, by saving everything, Jon might tear all those new pieces out. That, in breaking wood and banished Eyes, the ship would be so full of holes that, no more question, it will sink.
#jonathan sims#jon sims#tma#the magnus archives#the eye#theseus' ship#i have so many thoughts#and so many feelings about this man#He and his boyfriend consume my every waking thought#doomed by the narrative#chosen by the age of 8 to become everything you fear#the slow trickle of the loss of himself#i've been reading Upton House period fanfic#if you couldn't tell#Upton in this analogy would be if all the replaced parts suddenly started breaking down#slowly#but far too fast

hulu was doing live coverage of the election until 2:00am, at which point my power randomly went out and when I reopened the hulu app on my tv the election coverage was replaced with
#us politics#I don't care if it was intentional or a coincidence or what that shit is funny as hell#I got like 3 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours#my closest friends are sleeping and don't know yet#we're going to dc a month from now on vacation and none of us expected this#I've been on twitter and it's crushing I see my friends in fear for their lives#I see the worst people in the world cheering for their own downfall because all they care about is someone else having it worse#like they'll douse the vulnerable among us with gasoline and pray for hellfire thinking they'll be safe#but the flames don't discriminate like they do and we're all going to burn#except for the wealthy and powerful of course they'll be polluting the solar system or dead from old age#and the only hell they'll ever know is the one millions upon millions of people eagerly built in their names#in the name of 'greatness'#(man I get really melodramatic when I haven't slept)#and I'm scared too I didn't think this was going to happen and I have no idea what the future holds anymore#and I know I'm privileged to be able to say this when people's lives are about to be destroyed but I think I'm more sad than anything#so disappointed that 70 million people voted for *that*#because it's completely unconscionable to anyone with a soul but somehow he's winning the popular vote for the first time???#what do you mean more people like him now than they did in 2016 and 2020#this genuinely feels like a nightmare are we really so far gone as a country??? as a society?????#that we would not only let a convicted felon (who was served a lawsuit ON ELECTION DAY) on the ballot#but that SEVENTY. MILLION. PEOPLE. would vote for him? to run the country??? to represent us on a global stage?????#*THAT'S* what we as a nation have chosen??? what the fuck is wrong with this country?????#why him indeed#and yet I still have hope#inexplicably

The look of awe bordering on disbelief that we can see on Lestat's face in this moment! He had asked Louis to 'nod his beautiful head' and say yes, but despite the confident, clearly rehearsed energy of his proposal, I think Lestat had an enormous amount of doubt and insecurity about whether or not Louis would actually accept it, and may have actually been anticipating a rejection.
Not only is Louis consenting to this, he is pulling Lestat in unprompted for a seal of physical affection that tells Lestat his intense feelings of love and devotion are reciprocated. From Lestat's face I very much get the feeling of, 'You're choosing me? You're choosing me? You really want me?'
#i also feel like this moment had Lestat doubling down on all his feelings for Louis like 'the man i've chosen is absolutely perfect'#'only the most perfect man in the world would respond to a proposal like this - in the way that he has responded to it'#'we were made for each other' etc etc#iwtv#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#yo mismo#yomismoiwtv

The reason why Markjez is better than Tomgreg is cos Tom got married to a woman and stayed married to her, meanwhile Mark got married to a woman (but only after almost jilting her at the wedding), then afterwards at the same wedding, he left in the bridal car with Jez and went back to living with him making 6 roasts a day and immediately going on to get a divorce and conceding to the idea that he and Jez would raise a baby together like gay dads.
#i've chosen to omit certain details#AHAHAHAHAA#I love Tomgreg so much it's insane#but I love Markjez more#markjez#peep show#who would win in a fight: Mark or Tom#the answer is so obviously Tom#mark corrigan#mark corrigan is the final boss of repressed gay man

just seen a post by a pre-op pre-hormones pre-everything trans woman complaining about ~evil cis bitches~ crossing the road at night when they see her and i was so so so certain it was a troll/fakepost/terf shitposting/etc but it was legit and all her friends were agreeing with her, and i'm like??? this is why cis women hate us lmao, you can't get mad if you're pre-everything and it's night time and a woman assumes you're a creep in the dark. why are the worst voices always the loudest
Why did you think this was appropriate to have sent to me instead of just... blocking her and moving on? Out of all the reasons I can think of for people to be transphobic, the thought of a trans woman being upset about feeling like she's treated like a perpetrator of a crime she isn't committing or thinking about committing doesn't cross my mind. Maybe she didn't express that frustration in a way you approve of (probably because you weren't what she was thinking about, she was probably thinking about how she was feeling), but that's where blocking her comes into play. You aren't required to view that person's post or entertain their friends, nor are you required to come into a stranger's inbox to vent about it. You don't have to dedicate time to that.
Oddly enough, I don't trust that you aren't a troll trying to stoke fires, especially through anon.
#ask#anon#transphobia#transphobia tw#transmisogyny tw#(just for the implication that if you 'dont pass' you are required to be okay with being 'treated like a man')#blog boundaries#part of me doubts that she even accused them of being ~evil cis bitches~ considering anon's vitriol towards this person#and that's assuming this is even a real problem. again i have a hard time trusting this and i hope it's obvious why#this is the first and last time i will be addressing this specifically. i'm actually not going to tolerate this#and i'm not going to tolerate being treated like a personal diary for people to air their grievances with trans women#over the years i've been recieving anons as unhinged as this about trans people and i've chosen to ignore them...#...and i'm reaching the point where i'm not tolerating it quietly and with grace#i'm frankly tired of how i'm being treated with this and how (fictional or not) trans people are thrown into other people's lives

such a nothing of a bitch but i just remembered when i asked the eds subreddit for advice going into my first gyno appointment asking about a hysterectomy and in it i mentioned that one of the reasons i didn't want to birth kids is that i'm severely disabled and wouldn't be able to take care of children how they need and deserve, and that's not even mentioning how pregnancy would wreck my already crippled body and someone like ignored the other reasons i mentioned (like dysphoria and a family history of cervical & uterine cancer and my sister having multiple miscarriages and Not Wanting To Be Pregnant) and was like "you really shouldn't correlate being disabled with being unable to take care of children" and it's like. yes i know that that is like a very serious and personal issue that is especially touchy for people with genetic disorders. however. that is not what i was saying. i was not making any generalizations. i know this because i have ocd and spent three days writing the post trying to make sure it covered all my bases and was as thoughtful and inclusive as i could be. actually i think they said the same thing about me mentioning dysphoria and how i shouldn't imply that trans men can't and don't want to be pregnant. and i was like. 😐 NOT. what i SAID.
#kal.dir#i think i should obsess less about making sure i have perfect wording because man. people really will go out of their way to like#take what you said personally and in bad faith.#minor also bitch and i know this is me speaking from a place of privilege (only existing after a decade and a half of therapy)#but it genuinely so fucking hurtful when people assume the worst of you. like that's one of the major reasons i've like#made the effort to tell my anxiety that it's being stupid and mean when it says that people are secretly mad at me or like#are talking about me negatively or like whatever. like it's just mean to assume people would be cruel to you on purpose.#and that makes it very hard for me to engage in a lot of like mentally ill spaces. like being ~recovering~ is a very like#odd position to be in. because like i just don't relate to a lot of mental illness memes anymore#like sorry no i don't think my friends secretly hate me. because that would be mean of them and my friends wouldn't do that.#and like. again. place of privilege with the therapy and having an actual chosen Family that loves and takes care of each other#it's just. bizarre.#i'm going to turn thirty next year living in a house with my family that we own. i get to live with my best friend for the rest of our lives

Oh boy, oh boy, I sure do have a lot of opinions about The Dark Lord. I, like many others, never found Dark's motives to seem to stem from any ideas of conquest or villainy. To me, it seemed as though Dark created the virabots for Chosen. They must have realized that Chosen was no longer happy destroying the internet, which was the very basis of their positive relationship, so of course Dark would try to come up with a solution to help their brother. Unfortunately, they severely misunderstood what the issue was, instead assuming that Chosen must be put off by their lack of impact. After all, humans carry on with their days by the masses, hardly even inconvenienced by the two's efforts. But then, Dark's gift fails, and their relationship with Chosen is further strained. They finally realize how broken the two's bond is when they see that Chosen has decided to fight alongside Alan, who up until this point, has been who Chosen hated most out of anyone in the world, to oppose Dark. This realization that they had once again lost an important connection forced Dark over the edge, and, well, you know how it ends.
#alan becker#animator vs animation#ava the chosen one#ava the dark lord#corvid creates#Man I've had this idea pinging around for awhile#I'm glad I finally finished lol#even if the timing's kinda off in some places#more animations are (hopefully) on the way#so long as my skills and motivation don't suddenly disappear again#the song is Sin Triangle by Sidney Gish btw

For some reason Simon's depiction of Macbeth seems like he would have had a manbun and I genuinely wonder about this all the time. Very modern clothes so it seems a contemporary remake and I'm so fascinated by it. They don't use the archaic pronouns but the structure of the speech remains very Shakespearian. The whole decision making process both in and out universe is genuinely interesting to me, because this issue came out around five years before Romeo + Juliet, so that wasn't something they were inspired by. Just so curious about this whole bit.
Wonder Man V2 #19
#brieuc.txt#wonder man#simon williams#I can understand what they were going for but I don't think I would have chosen this one for a Metaphorical Representation of Simon#or whatever it is they were going for#I'd go for like... The Tempest maybe (this is instinct its been forever since I've read it but forgiveness felt a core theme of WMV2)#ch: the man of wonders!

you made me laugh very hard thinking about max volume BASS-BOOSTED CARELESS WHISPER, thank you for that. please say more about this thorne i'm besotted
Aah, thank you kindly! ❤️ (watch me proceed to rant for about an hour about him lol)
As a quick summary, Tristan Thorne was born in Ferelden in roughly 9:13, in a village (that's more of a homestead rather than a true settlement) near Lothering- aaaand then promptly (kind of, sort of) died on the battlefield of Ostagar in defending his home when he was just 17 years old. Except luckily, he survived his injuries just long enough for the battle to settle, and curious spirits (Compassion, Courage, Hope, Loss, and others) to take notice, and begin pressing against the Veil.
It was a spirit of Purpose who was drawn to the dying boy's sheer determination to keep drawing breath, and touched his mind, saving his life in the process (through what some might consider a deal, though that opens up some unfortunate lines of discussion)(it's not a demon, I swear! .... maybe!) to allow the spirit to come and experience our world through his eyes.
Wandering the wilderness, dazed and disoriented and with the Blight in his veins (and a spirit invisible to all others riding piggyback), he was found an uncertain amount of time later (could have been days, weeks, or months even) by the arriving Orlesian Wardens somewhere near the Wilds, and was promptly recruited, as they thought him on death's door.
Tristan then took the Joining with remarkable ease (a curiosity the Wardens also noticed- really, it was almost as if the draught had no effect? But that's impossible, that could only happen if the sickly boy was somehow already a Warden without even knowing? He must just have remarkable constitution)(could it have had something to do with the curious herbal mixture he got from a local lady to calm his nerves the night before the battle? who knows), and fell naturally in line with the Warden teachings.
Fast forward roughly 22 years, he is now 39-40 years old, doesn't talk much about his life before beyond calling Ferelden his home, and is a decently respected Senior Warden with a secret not many have ever known of, on top of a bristly, brusque attitude that makes him difficult to get to know, and a propensity to head single-mindedly towards any goal (and flout rules in the process), as if drawn on a string.
He's also not great with people, has not had a relationship since that one time in his teens (in part because he's not sure how it all is supposed to work, but he's fairly sure you can't exactly open with "by the way, I'm kind of not sure if I'm even really alive" and have a romance start from there, or keep something like that a secret long), has quite a few scars that chronicle many blows that would have felled any fully mortal man (and many more tattoos that tell of the same), and likes to do embroidery in his spare time- by his claim to keep his fingers' fine motor skills from deteriorating, but also because of his secret affection for pretty things.
...... In a more meta sense, I made him because I wanted to toy with an undead/necromancer dynamic before release (and before learning about Spite, I thought possession would be a unique way of doing that- egg on my face lol), so Tristan is not exactly an abomination. Not really.
Nor is he a zombie in the traditional sense, or wholly separate from-, or even truly fused with Purpose, like we've seen among the companions before.
I think he... sits kind of in the eye of a three-way Venn diagram between Wynne, Cole, and Anders: he's someone kept alive partly by a spirit who is not just influencing the world from across the Veil and is fully present, but also isn't trying to exert control of the host body, OR a person of its own right, and rather acts more as a silent, approving passenger. They're not the same person or completely separate, and they're not in the same place, but also not apart. If that makes any sense.
I like to think that since Tristan and Purpose are very closely aligned in their goals and temperaments (and have been together longer than Tristan has lived on his own before, which gave them time to grow to trust one another), the separation between them is pretty much nonexistent- you can't draw a line of demarcation between them any more than you could separate yourself from your right hand.
This makes it somewhat difficult to tell whether they even have an impact on each other, whether it's him who was made more bullheaded by his connection with Purpose, if it was Purpose made more humane and compassionate by its decades in the world of the living, or if they just found each other by chance and ended up meshing and merging perfectly without much of a need for a conscious compromise.
I liked the idea of this remarkably close synergy between mortal and spirit being fascinating to Emmrich, and prompting a thorough study (both arcane and medical) of Tristan, which would sort of then turn into a more.... personal interest as well.
I've not yet gotten far past the prologue in that game yet, but I think it'll be very fun after finishing my very Emotionally And Conventionally Intelligent Ingellvar to explore this lonely, self-reliant, gruff man, and playing through his little gay crisis as he gets swept up by Emmrich's charm embarrassingly quickly.
It'll be really nice to roleplay as he discovers the Magic of Friendship, slowly becomes the third single dad of the group (only his children are basically everyone except for Emmrich and Davrin), and finally lose his v-card before he'd literally become the 40-year-old virgin.
.... i also found this after making that post, and it has been making me giggle for the past day- it sounds like you're outside his head and listening in to the sound escaping through Tristan's ear:
youtube
#squirrel plays datv#oc: tristan thorne#in the little time i've played of him i've chosen pretty much all the bottom dialogue options#and Neve balking at being told with no room for protest to go and rest up because she's injured will never not be funny to me#i almost felt the flashback to her dad playing behind her eyes#i really do love how of the “cishet white man” type; each of my three VG characters so far fulfill a different selection of components#Ver is cis; but not het; white; or a man (she's a brown bi woman)#Marcus is het; but mixed and nonbinary; so. neither cis nor white or quite a man#and Tristan is cis; white; and a man; but he's just learning that he's not actually het#idk it makes me smile
