"oh the loki in the series isn't the same as the one in infinity war because he got several movies-worth of character development scrapped. the tva version is all the way back from avengers 1, that's why."

ok but have you considered that maybe that doesn't even make sense for avengers 1 loki.?

for a long while when I'd visit my relatives on the chesapeake for a brief respite from the hells of home life, there was an odd beat-up little cardboard box sitting amid the plastic-cased ds games in the gamestop I'd always visit (rarely to actually get anything)

finally, one time before the journey back to hell, i actually had a scattering of bills in my pocket. after looking around at the shelves of shovelware (i didnt have enough for any of the proper titles like mario or pokemon), i finally decided to bring the story to a close and give the ragged little box a home

it was Sola-to-Robo, one of the rarest ds games ever published, possibly the most technically advanced engine ever devised on the system, and among the most unique and emotional experiences I'd ever encountered in a video game (which is saying something considering I'd already all but lost emotion by that point)

i barely remember it anymore, but for the time it became my favorite standalone game of all time (although it technically is part of a series, succeeding the PS1's equally obscure Tail Concerto)

I still dream of returning to it and seeing just how well it holds up from a more experienced point of view

the one thing i do remember is that it had and still has by far the most beautiful and powerful opening song of any game ive ever encountered, which is saying something considering the hundreds out there! it's up there with Atelier Meruru's Cadena

also the fact that when you beat the game, after the credits it goes "chapter 2" and there's an entire sequel within the game. altogether both parts are probably not longer than any other rpg, but on the original ds where full 3d action rpgs were resource intensive and typically limited in scope, it was mindblowing

also it apparently had like undefeatable copy-protection and to this day still requires a modified rom to emulate or even run on original hardware without a card?

anyways.... remarkable game. i was shocked to find that it's one of the most sought after titles on the system. in rarities ive personally enountered it's second probably only to Retro Game Challenge, which I encountered at regular price once in the late 2010s but didnt have the money for at the time... that's my "one that got away"

TEN THOUSAND GODDAMN WORDS IN AND IM FINALLY GETTING TO THE HAND SYMBOLISM. FUCK THIS

[pizzapizzadickz]

I often times find myself wondering when interacting with people "am I doing this right?'"

It used to be even more often, I probably was really anxious about it back then. Now... not so much? I still find myself worrying a bit. And especially trying to find the correct "answer" or action to say or do. But. It's not really by any fault of my own. It's just what's expected of me in social situations doesn't always come naturally. So I'm awkward. But idk. While I'll always probably try to find the right answer for things, I'm a bit less worried than I used to be. And I suppose that's something good in a way.

My brain is. Goop. Running at about quarter speed right now. It's a little bit embarrassing, actually.

pondering my orb

[cascadianights]

Holding out my heart

A friend told me the other day

I was holding out joy and warmth,

Fun and the fruits of my garden,

Offering them to you freely.

It's the story of us.

I offer myself again and again

Knowing! Knowing you will balk!

Knowing you will let me fall

Again and again and again.

You offer yourself,

On your terms.

In your space.

In your time.

You offer yourself in small moments

Rambles in between the masks

A smile that fills my entire chest with warmth.

You offer yourself with

Asterisks

With warnings not to get too attached,

Not to expect too much

Not to expect... anything.

You call at 3am when you're exhausted of all other company,

You stay up all night talking on the couch,

You're still talking and smiling and wanting me to stay even as I leave after 24 hours together.

It was always that way,

10 hour shifts together, followed by hours watching the sunrise on the back of your car.

Staying out hiking and watching the stars so long the rising sun lights the way home.

There was a time you felt like home.

It drives me crazy how easily you felt that way again.

But

You offer yourself with fear,

With the certainty that everyone leaves and therefore no one is worth your commitment.

So when the choice is presented,

You always choose to run.

You always run.

You

Always

Run.

I offer myself, I offer my heart,

I offer my garden and my affection and my time.

I offer myself

And you run

And I fall

Again and again.
