[plumadesatada]

just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct late 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.

and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text

and we were all like "no WAY"

but we selected the text, and yes!!!

the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse

a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about

it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.

I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!! UPDATE HERE

Charles died trying to protect a Pakistani boy from a hate crime. Charles, a half Indian person, died- like fuck I'm so emotional about this.

"I mean I'm half Indian, why am I so different?"

Listen. Given the history of the IndoPak conflict, we aren't talking about the subtle implications of this line enough. Not only did Charles look at this kid and see himself in him, he tackled the xenophobia at face value—no strings attached, no connotations, history be damned. And what undoes me even more is that he believed that boy was no different from him and therefore did not deserve to be treated that way. He never once showed any regret for doing what he did. And that is so so telling of Charles, in a much deeper sense than we might realise at first.

Charles was always a protector through and through. He died for it. And even after, no matter who it was, he never stopped being a protector. But in that moment specifically, that act of immigrant solidarity?? It was like... an entire lifetime of history classes and unending geopolitical strife and debates about who deserves to live and who doesn't just flashed before my eyes when Charles took one look at him and went "Oh fuck no. I'm no different. We're in this together and I'm not leaving you alone". I cannot stress enough how much that healed me :')))

I had this linked elsewhere but I'm just going to post it here, this is my proof that Weird Barbie used to be Gloria's 1992 Totally Hair Barbie 🤔

I feel like it's old news that the kid who played with Weird Barbie too hard is Gloria cuz of the Scrabble tiles on the pole spelling her name (also that first convo they have in the weird house lol)

As for Weird Barbie being Totally Hair Barbie, the timing works out--Gloria would have been a young child in 1992 when Totally Hair Barbie came out. Plus in the same shot as the Scrabble tiles, you can see that the doll that becomes Weird Barbie has super long, crimped hair (hard to see without HD) which was like Totally Hair Barbie's whole thing LOL

That's kinda proof enough but when you look at Gloria's doll's face, the makeup, brows, top+bottom lashes, and eye sparkle placement all match up with Totally Hair Barbie, plus you can see how the doll's bangs are oriented the same. Also removable earrings!

Bonus fun fact #1, the yellow thing around Gloria's doll's neck + the pink dress on her leg are from the 1994 Ruffle Fun Barbie outfit:

Bonus fun fact #2, the actual doll that the child actor is playing with is not the original 1992 Totally Hair Barbie but the 25-year anniversary reproduction from 2017. You can tell because the repro has white underwear while the original had nude blobs (x)

OK I'm done. I had to put all this info somewhere to release myself of this burden

I think its very funny that throughout most of Marcel’s trial, Childe was just sat there in the audience probably bored out of his fucking mind

All he probably wanted was a fight LMAOO
