#this is why Quentin is relatable to me

[fixated-on-something]

Something something the feeling that I’ll never experience true love because that would involve me going on a perilous quest with someone and forming an indescribable bond with them during our travels and then risking my life to save them but being narrowly plucked from the jaws of death and pulled into their embrace, realising at last how we both feel…

Date of interview: XX/XX/XXX

Time of interview: 1200

Interviewer: Quentin

Interviewee: Cookie Morris

[ TRANSCRIPT ]

INTERVIEWER: Please state your name and occupation for the tape. INTERVIEWEE: My name is Cookie Morris, I work as an IT and ICT teacher at Raven Brooks Middle School. INTERVIEWER: When did you start living in Raven Brooks? From your accent, I can tell you aren't exactly from around here. INTERVIEWEE: I don't see how that information would be very relevant. Aren't you here to ask me about the missing residents? INTERVIEWER: Well, yes, but I thought- INTERVIEWEE: I don't know anything about them. How many other people have you tried to ask about this? INTERVIEWER: Not too many... let's, maybe... change the subject. May I ask you about your relations with Theodore Peterson? I heard word from some other residents of you two being quite close for a while, and then abruptly becoming distant. What's up with that? INTERVIEWEE: [No response] INTERVIEWER: Cookie? You okay? INTERVIEWEE: Yeah, yeah, I just... [Pause] We were friends for a few years. I used to, um, sort out his cable when it acted up. His wife and I were quite close, too. Such a lovely woman. I miss her. INTERVIEWER: I can imagine you would. Do you think that the... incident affected your friendship with Peterson? INTERVIEWEE: It did. In fact, it affected every aspect of his life, I'd say. Everything seemed to get worse and worse for the poor man. You know about what happened to his kids, don't you? INTERVIEWER: Yes, I do. INTERVIEWEE: Mmm, a terrible shame. Still haven't been found. [Pause] After they went missing, he became a recluse. Rarely spoke to anyone or left the house, he had me worried for a long while. INTERVIEWER: Is that what ended your friendship? INTERVIEWEE: No, no. Something else happened. INTERVIEWER: Would you be alright to talk about it? INTERVIEWEE: Yeah, yeah I'm good to talk about it, uh. I went round his house with a cake - home-baked - to sort of convince him to let me in. It took a little bit of talking before he let me inside his house so we could chat and catch up, but he eventually did let me in. The house was very cluttered, it looked like he became a hoarder, which isn't uncommon when in mourning. INTERVIEWER: What happened after he let you in? INTERVIEWEE: I went into his sitting room, and he went to the kitchen to cut the cake and make some tea. Standard guest catering. As I went into the sitting room, I noticed a key on one of his chairs. Most rooms in the house were locked - I saw that when I went in - so it wasn't something I thought to pay much attention to. That is, of course, until I heard... a noise. It sounded like screaming, and someone clawing at a door. I took the key and went to investigate, the sound was coming from his basement door. Then- INTERVIEWER: He heard it too, didn't he? He must have come to investigate the noise as well, and then... then what happened? INTERVIEWEE: I tried to unlock the lock on the basement door. The voice that was screaming sounded familiar to me, I had to get whoever was in there out. Unfortunately, I had the wrong key. Before I could go to find another one, Peterson grabbed me. He pinned me against the door by my collar, I'd never seen him so aggressive, so angry. I don't know how long he had me there for, but he came to his senses at some point and let go of me. I remember running out of there without hesitation, I didn't look back even once. I just ran home. INTERVIEWER: Oh, God, that's terrible. Did you inform the police of what happened? INTERVIEWEE: Of course I did. I told Officer Leslie, he told me he'd do something about it, then never did. Actually, on the topic of Leslie, he isn't someone you should put your trust into - the same could be said for the majority of this town. INTERVIEWER: Really? Why- INTERVIEWEE: You shouldn't publish this interview. I'm sure that you've heard of the cult by now, haven't you? If you publish this, they might start targeting you, or worse - me. Same goes for if Theo gets his hands on it. Can you leave now? I have work I need to start on.

Child Champion gang rise up!

Also PLEASE tell me about your Pokemon S/I I've been meaning to send an ask for more info for a WHILE I just keep forgetting give me ALL the details prettiest of pleases <3

HELL YEAH! It’s under the cut because I wrote a Lot. It’s kinda out of order, but hopefully it still makes sense. It’s mostly backstory and character relations.

My little guy is Quentin. He was born in Unova. He’s the grandson of Drayden, the brother of Iris and (later) Drayton.

As a very young child, he got sent over to Kanto for a year to learn from Lance and people who Lance knew. (He frequently left Quentin with Agatha, which is why she’s like a grandmother to him.) While there, he met Blue. An instant sort of dislike spread within him. He very much hates people who are obsessed with acting like they’re better than everyone else.

When they met again later, after Blue learned humility and became a gym leader, they became much closer, and eventually started dating. Neither of their little kid selves would have guessed that LMAO. Some years after that, Blue was visiting Unova for the PWT, and excited to see his bf again because they had barely been able to see each other in person since then, and let me just say that he was TERRIFIED when he found out that Kyurem froze Opelucid City, the place where Quentin lived and promised Blue that he’d be if he wanted to come visit once he got there. Like straight up petrified. He felt so useless, and Quentin wasn’t picking up his phone since service was down. Fun emotional ship stuff. Quentin was okay, though. He was out there soloing Team Plasma grunts to help give Rosa more time.

His Dragonite was a Dratini given to him by the elder in the Dragon’s Den after Lance invited him in. His Haxorus was an egg given to him by Drayden (and the son of Drayden’s own Haxorus). His Samurott was an Oshawott given to him by Professor Juniper.

This is something like what his team looked something like when he started his Unova journey, because he’d been catching and training Pokémon for a while under Drayden.

He also has a fun blue-ish purple-ish letterman jacket that he wears. It has a Dragonite on the back. (I like to think of it like an anime ahoge that changes with emotions, like the picture is a sad Dragonite when he’s sad and a cheerful Dragonite when he’s happy. I’m not sure if I’ll make this canon or not, but I think that the idea is really fun.)

He became champion at a pretty young age, having beaten Iris, but it was a really close battle. They’re pretty evenly matched.

He loves to visit every region that he can, and has caught a bunch of Pokémon. (He filled the entire Paldea dex, and flexes the shiny charm that he got from Jacq to anyone who’ll look at it.)

When Red and Blue went to Alola for the Battle Tree, he’s like “Blue Oak. We are married. You are bringing me on your interregional trip. I don’t care if you’ll be working. You can spend all of the time that you’re NOT working kissing me!!!” and so Blue brings him even though Blue likes the weather warm and the heat makes Quentin miserable.

Blue also keeps the AC really cold at night because Quentin can’t sleep without a bunch of blankets but overheats easily.

As for his personality, he’s a hopeless romantic. Clings pretty tightly to whoever he knows the best in situations. Socially awkward. Fairly cheerful, unless he’s annoyed or tired (which is pretty frequently), in which case he’s more sarcastic and irritable. He’s also pretty hotheaded and easily riled up.

Mosaic Haiku, Chapter 15

This chapter of Mosaic Haiku is dedicated to exploring the theme "Warm Up" for the 2024 micro Magicians fanworks challenge hosted by @magiciansfanworksextravaganza "The 'warm up' theme could include vibes that are warm, cozy, related to winter, being hot (in any sense of that word), warming up or preparing for a big event, just starting out in something like magic, or any spin you’d like to put on it!"—Warm Up, Dec. 1-7, 2024

--------Mosaic Haiku Intro--------------

Welcome! I'm writing a series of haiku about the Mosaic! Disclaimer, I don't own any of these images (they're from the TV series adapted from Lev Grossman's series, The Magicians, which aired on SyFy). I'm just writing about them, ekphrastic style (seeing the image is an important reference when reading the poem, so I wanted to group them together). To read more about the project, the form, my author's notes (including a few more haiku), and to eventually see the paintings and drawings I'm making of these scenes (often with greater visibility/lighting or other small changes), please visit the page for this chapter at AO3 (link below). Note: I'm slowly making the art, so please stay tuned for that as each piece is done! Either way, I hope you'll enjoy these reflections on the best episode of TV (The Magicians, Season 3, Episode 5, “A Life in the Day”) and my favorite ship, Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh!

We're best friends. That's why we work, why I waited, why we'll be happy here.

Had to go slowly: stakes too high. It's you, it's me: can't risk losing this.

Went to Fillory, fell in love with my best friend. A life worth living.

Fires smoldered all year: be careful; seize your moment. Torches. It’s go time.

* * *

Will you be mine when— —We go home? —Find the beauty of all life? —Right now?

* * *

“Are you cold, honey?” Wrap me up all night: arms, legs. You’re the best blanket.

* * *

Warm summer evenings: nights under the stars, our quilt soft as I love you

-------------------------------

Eliot

“What are you doing?” My heart breaks with yours: brave Q, love of my life—twice.

I acted so cold. Inside, heart I buried deep raged against the light.

The pain of waking: everything’s so real it hurts; such beauty brings tears.

Thaw melts my façade. It’s not spring: more like the fires of hell: I ran away

From a heart so dear. Dared not admit what I’d lost: warmth of home. Love. You.

You’re the lighthouse: love shining from your face. I need that door back to you.

You smiled, asking me. Sunny, soft, such warmth. A kiss wakes love burning bright.

Door creaks, leaking light. Can't leave you; but I must, to find you. My heart melts.

-------------------------------

Sizzling. Smoking hot. Your touch so warm we ignite. Hot as hell, baby.

-------------------------------

Eliot: The Quest Begins

The Great Cock takes time to say Q and I belong: two parts of one whole.

My life’s warming up; not just king: man with a heart, and it goes with Q’s.

-------------------------------

This airplane’s purring! Engines warmed up, we lift off, soaring on joy, love.

So much laughter: it's not tedium, just sameness with purpose: this quest,

Our lives together. Tile-game serves as canvas For our love. Big win.

Best part of each day: teasing, playing between tiles, this warmth between us.

-------------------

First step of the quest through the clock, do you feel it? Magic! It's starting!

World feels fresh and new: it's all possible, even fairy-tale romance.

Warmth surging through us: touch the magic, touch me: your embrace warm, tender.

We leap with our hearts: seize your partner, celebrate with this soul-deep hug.

[stop-watches-and-sorcerers]

Thanks for answering my ask before....If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, what are your top 7 (or top 10) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series/etc) and your top 10 favorite (fictional) characters from any media? Why do you love them all? Sorry if you've answered this questions before......

I love this question, thank you for asking!! I will talk forever about my favorite things!! The descriptions are going to be short because if I go too much into why I love the media/characters I would literally be talking forever.

Favorite media (in no particular order):

The Magicians (tv show) - I have not read the books but the TV show is just very well done imo. A lot of things change season to season and it does not follow the typical formula that I'm used to which makes it very interesting.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (tv show) - Truly one of my favorite shows of all time. I honestly don't think I can summarize what makes it so good; you just have to watch it.

His Dark Material (book series) - This is about the book series. The movie is bad; the HBO TV series adaptation is decent. The writing is what makes the book series stand out for me; it's phenomenal and has cemented it as probably my favorite book series of all time. It's beautiful and tragic and I'm a sucker for biblical themes. I wouldn't recommend reading unless you're okay with a little sacrilege.

Lord of the Rings (book series/movies) - I'm mainly talking about the movies. The books are great too but for me it's a rare instance of the movies being as good or possibly better than the books. Amazing casting, costuming, scenery, cinematography, and practical effects!! They still hold up 20 years later as some of the best movies of all time.

The Left Hand of Darkness (book) - I read this recently and it became one of my favorite books. It's a sci-fi book about an envoy who visits a planet that is always cold and the people there have no gender. I'm not gonna say much more about it but I really cannot recommend this enough; it stayed with me in a way that not many things have.

Trigun (manga/anime) - I still haven't read the manga (i'm going to) and I've heard that the manga knocks the anime out of the park, which is impressive because the anime is one of the most moving things I've ever seen (both the 98' and 23' adaptations). It's very character driven and it very quickly became on of my favorites of all time.

Avatar the Last Airbender (tv show) - the OG series is one of the best shows I've ever watched. I know it's for kids, but it is truly an almost perfect show to me.

My Hero Academia (manga/anime) - I'm biased because this is my current hyperfixation but I've become very attached to the characters and I think it's a really interesting look at society and the way it elevates some people and breaks down others.

Favorite characters (in no particular order):

Buffy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - She's just… character of all time. She works so fucking hard and goes through so much and she can barely hold on but she still just keeps fucking going. See the season 2 finale "Bargaining part 2" for a full understanding of why I love her.

Vash the Stampede (Trigun) - He's so old and isolated and has gone through so much but he still has so much faith and hope and love and peace. His ideology has flaws but he is just so good at his core and I love him.

Quentin Coldwater (The Magicians) - He's so fucking depressed and sad and he wants to be good at things but he's just not as good as he wants to be but he still tries and people still love him because of/despite it. God I fucking love him (I relate to him a little too much).

Nico Di Angelo (Percy Jackson) - He has a lot of darkness in him and is scared of it but still keeps trying to be good and you know what? He's succeeding. I love him.

Bakugou Katsuki (My Hero Academia) - He has extreme anger issues and starts as a huge asshole but betters himself because he can't stand to be that way anymore and I really respect that.

Natalie (Yellowjackets) - She's a fucking mess in the real world but extremely helpful in the wilderness. Something about her needing to be useful and handling it very poorly when she's back in a situation where she can't be just really speaks to me.

Adora (She-Ra) - Much like Buffy, she works so fucking hard and is literally the chosen one against her will and she still stands up and fights no matter what.

Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who) - I think I'm biased on this one because I watched David Tennant act his ass off at a formative age, but man. Once again, characters who are very lonely/isolated but still try their best to help people who won't get it and won't thank them just really get to me.

Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - An extremely complicated character. I think the main thing that draws me to him is that he kind of breaks the rules regarding vampires/vampire souls within the Buffy universe.

Zuko (Avatar the Last Airbender) - Best redeption arc of all time. Idk what else to say.

Merlin (Merlin) - I think this is number 11 but I have to include him. I've never seen a better example of someone whose moral compass is exclusively being loyalty to one person. He disregards everything else. His entire existence is solely devoted to Arthur and the realm and also Colin Morgan's acting is extremely compelling to me.

[mirchloe]

quick (incomplete) list of trans headcanons btw! first ones that come to my head.

phoebe is nonbinary! she doesn't have much of a leaning, but prefers she/her pronouns. some days, she does lean toward casual masculine presentation. binds when she's a teen, not so much when she's older. she has to roll her eyes whenever quentin comes up to her shaking his head all, "can't believe you're copying me" because he settled on his gender as nonbinary first. (it's in good fun! he's just ribbing his bestie. pronouns are whatever, call him anything, though he does have his days where he has his preferences.)

norma and lizzie aren't cis. norma is a trans girl, and lizzie is just outside the gender binary. she doesn't care about labeling herself. it's kind of like with quentin, but he's more in a chill vibe, and lizzie likes making herself look really genderweird with whatever pronouns she's feeling that day. norma is strictly she/her tho.

franke is also a trans girl! she always related more to girls when she was younger and didn't get why. she always just thought girls were awesome! then, she learned she could be a girl, and that's history. she's butch when she's an adult.

trans woman hollis is also so real, so true. gotta thank double fine for uploading the alpha footage of pitror and inspiring this headcanon.

benny is a trans guy! like franke, he had a tendency to look up more to guys. figured he might as well be a guy, too! guys are tough! he does have a tendency to put down girls when he's a kid, which isn't great. he grows out of it and does feel a bit bad, trying to smooth it over.

[belespritbooks]

My first read of 2024! (well the first book I’ve finished, anyway.)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ + 1/2

Thoughts:

Mixed bag. Structure wise, this book was a very interesting read. I read this book for one of my classes, and we briefly touched upon how Faulkner's writing in this work seems to be much more geared towards showing off his literary skills. And in my opinion, I think this was the driving force of the novel rather than the message. To me, as a book worm, nerd, and student of literature, of course literary skill is impressive and important in great literary works, but I find that the most impactful books are ones that you put down and are truly moved by the story or the language. This book I was simply quite confused.

I'll explain why I feel this way for a few reasons: first the structure. The book being split into different parts with different narration (and different narrative styles) was, stylistically, very intriguing and impressive. Readers encountered Benjy's unique lens of the world, which didn't provide us much context or structure. This could either completely repel readers, or intrigue them further by the mystery Faulkner sets up. We are then introduced to Quentin's section, which I'll get into detail for in a second. The narration here is slightly less confusing, but because of his unique character, it is still quite broken and confusing. In Jason's section, the narration is much more clear and we're provided more context for the Compson's family relations, such as Caddy's daughter, Quentin, living with Jason and their mother. On pages 212 to 214, we're also given insight on the terrible way Jason treats his sister, as well as her crumbling life: begging for contact with her daughter, and begging for some money. Finally in the last section, readers are provided with a third-person omniscient narrator (and the writing in this section was GORGEOUS). Because there were four distinct types of narration, it seems to me Faulker was more focused on style than the message. Of course there was an important message, but because the style was so insanely confusing at times, I'm not sure how much of the message readers truly receive by the end of the book. Which is the beauty of literature: some books are so incredibly written it takes three or four reads to truly understand the point. But for me, since two sections of this book had incredibly difficult narrative styles, I'm not even sure how much I grasped of the plot or the family dynamic, never mind the meaning behind these relations. It was almost so stylistically impressive that it's just too frustrating to understand.

Though I would like to add: the different narration styles had a point: Faulkner was trying to express the same idea or feeling in each section, with four different methods of writing. In interviews, he shared that he saw this book as a failure; saying he was never truly able to get his message across, no matter which narrative style he chose. That is the beauty of this novel: Faulkner deliberately demonstrates the limits of language. My favorite example of this is the church sermon at the end of the novel, from pages 292-296. On page 292, Faulkner describes the church to look like a painting: “the whole scene was as flat and without perspective as a painted cardboard set upon the ultimate edge of the flat earth…” These descriptions of the scene as painted signify how Faulkner’s words on the page are flat and two dimensional. During the sermon, the preacher barely says anything, but the church goers have a transcendental experience just being in the room: experience allows one to transcend language itself. The only way to truly grasp human truths is to transcend language itself; it limits us, whereas experience frees us. The preacher seems to communicate to the crowd through empathy and emotion rather than words. It is the spaces in between the words where the emotion is felt, where the meaning is given to the crowd, just like in literature. The greatest authors know how to infuse meaning into a page, in between the words, not having to state it in their language.

To touch upon Faulkner's writing style: it is quite beautiful. I really loved Quentin's section now that I understand it better. His narration is confusing and patchy due to his deteriorating mental health and him grappling with past memories he cannot get out of his head. In class, I could not get away from pages 150 and 151, which is dialogue Quentin is remembering from the past before he left for Harvard. Here is just a snippet:

"hes crossed all the oceans all around the world...

do you love him

her hand came out I didnt move it fumbled down my arm and she held my hand flat against her chest her heart thudding

no no

did he make you then he made you do it"

The dialogue not having any quotations, punctuation, or pointing out who is speaking, represents Quentin's scrambled thoughts as this scene is from a long time ago: when remembering specific conversations years after, its almost impossible to remember exact words and phrases. That is why it feels so scrambled. Also significant is that this long period of dialogue pops up right in the middle of Quentin's present storyline, and when readers jump back to the present, we've missed Quentin being in a fight, because we were caught up in his past thoughts overtaking him.

Also, I chose this part of the dialogue to discuss how Quentin refused to believe Caddy had lost her virginity and instead made up a narrative in his head that she was raped. Quentin's feelings represent the values of the old South; he didn't want to believe Caddy had become impure before marriage or that a young woman was freely making sexual choices. Therefore, he wanted to believe he could protect her virginity by saying she was raped and "killing" her rapist. I could talk about Quentin's section forever: it was my favorite part.

However, it was still so confusing. I had actually thought Caddy was raped until we discussed it in class, because we are so trapped in his head in the book, and his narration is so broken with no explanation. Such as how he would frequently break his present narration (in the beginning of his section) and reflect on a memory in italics of him telling his father he had committed incest with Caddy. This was a made-up story to again excuse Caddy becoming impure in Quentin's eyes, but I wouldn't have put that together on my own, and likely not through a second time reading.

My story

Tw: everything

Tw

When I was born I was the product of a rape and also that of a poor mother!  That being said I was not wanted to begin with  in life!  As the first two years of my life would play out I would lost my innocence in the most painful way possible, through actual violence and torture!   But know buy just anyone but by mujahadeen the actual predecessor of Al-Qaeda, sounds far fetched?  No, because at the very time I was born up until I was adopted I was in a terrorist infest country and warzone!   There was no intelligence or airport security to be had! One of tormentor I was able to Identify through a night mare I had!    Some of the torture I went through was waterboarding, stress position, sleep deprivation, and isolation to pure pain in the worst way imaginable!  I would you more about this but it would be triggering for you!  And this continues for two years two months.

Also I heard other kids being hurt and also hearing AK fire and IEDs go off almost every fucking hour!  

I remember that food was scarce and that I would've starved anyway, which is sad to say!  

This aided in my fear of the dark as-well as the Herculean pain tolerance that I would have in the coming 30 some odd years in my life! Though the beginnning of my life was morbid and grousome!  It got worse as the people in the orphanage also started stealing my stuff, yet another torture tactic.....but this time it was mental torture!  As you can see I was born in a shit land that was hostile to girls, women and females as well as the Roma!

I only discovered the force sex and rap of women in my country when I was with my brother Bryan, more about him latter as he contributed to my trauma!  People this days are like oh my god thank god your no like a Quentin Tarantino character especially Oren Ishii!  And unfortunately I am able to relate to Oren and her copious amounts of trauma too!  Also it does not help that  I was bother Eurasian and Indo-European (Roma which is another way of saying Eurasian).  The only white I have in me is Chechen and Bosnian as well as Romanian!    This will not be the first time that I would lost innocence nor the virginities, not just sexual but in other way too!  I will get them later! 

When I was adopted my brain took another shift and I was traumatized again by having a new set of humans and a new country to live in, still to this day I have to tell my self that I was safe and that I still am!   But the fuckery would not end there, as my first triggering memory was fucking daycare!   The shit excuse so my parents can drink all day and not have to deal with me!   The repercussions were this that I ended up being a hellion as a kid. As this was the first shit memory I had in Canada!  That being said I found my self with the same damn dangerous but this time they were make believe, but it was so real at the time!  But at the end of the day my parents had to deal with a very pissed of peach~ me!  I was told I was horrible and bad and that I was the devils child whenever I left day care!  If that was so bad why did not my difficult parents just leave me at the security checkpoint or at customs as I would  have benefited from that!

When I was born I was the product of a rape and also that of a poor mother!  That being said I was not wanted to begin with  in life!  As the first two years of my life would play out I would lost my innocence in the most painful way possible, through actual violence and torture!   But know buy just anyone but by mujahadeen the actual predecessor of Al-Qaeda, sounds far fetched?  No, because at the very time I was born up until I was adopted I was in a terrorist infest country and warzone!   There was no intelligence or airport security to be had! One of tormentor I was able to Identify through a night mare I had!    Some of the torture I went through was waterboarding, stress position, sleep deprivation, and isolation to pure pain in the worst way imaginable!  I would you more about this but it would be triggering for you!  And this continues for two years two months.

Also I heard other kids being hurt and also hearing AK fire and IEDs go off almost every fucking hour!  

I remember that food was scarce and that I would've starved anyway, which is sad to say!  

This aided in my fear of the dark as-well as the Herculean pain tolerance that I would have in the coming 30 some odd years in my life!

I wasn't always afraid of balloons. There was a time in my life when I was able to enjoy the fucking things for the first time in my life until that one fucker ended up popping that fucker would be one balloon out of many and would cause a chain reaction and caused me to have a freak out. That was the first time I ever had a flashback other than when I was in preschool/daycare that being said it wasn't very easy to abandon my favourite toy but I had to do it. That noise was just a troll you've heard the song bang bang that awful sound bang bang my baby shot down Well that was basically a bang bang that awful sound and it wasn't exactly a sound that I enjoyed I remember if I heard it again that I was going to cry like a bastard which I did in grade 3 when I went to a cruise in the Greek Isles and they had balloons all over the place. I remember that I started crying every time one fucker popped after another! That was a real shit show. I think that was when my mother started to drink and realize that her daughter was not normal. That being said, I was not very impressed with her behaviour demonizing me for having a phobia that was caused by obviously deep trauma that should've been dealt with a long time ago, but it was not. They refused to take me seriously or take me to therapy. That was only gonna come out when I was about 35 years of age. They're being said I was not very happy about travelling but I really couldn't stand fucking balloons for example, the popping sounds I remember my mother said you are not gonna get what you wanted because of your stupidity that was kind of something I could not help myself with at the time, but he was calling it stupidity

Because she was drunk and shitfaced! I think she may have said a lot of things over the years over balloons that she may have regretted if he ever regretted these things that being said, I was not very impressed with my coping mechanism with balloons, which was to hide in a corner, and hope for the best.  I was literally petrified of these things of steel to this day. Why am I petrified because they sound like the goddamn AK-47 and the fucking IDs that were going off around my orphanage/hospital, which was not exactly my cup of tea when I was a baby it was a wonder I was playing with a damn thing to begin with!

That being said, I was not a very big balloon fan and then there was balloon animals. I learned about in grade 6 where one kid made a balloon animals and it made this horrendous popping sound that you could hear a mile away oh God that was terrible.

As I was trying to get away from that area where the balloon animal was going to explode, I couldn't get out of the school fast enough and heard this horrendous crack popping sound that was got awful. I couldn't help but want to cry and I did and that's when people started to call me Stupid names more on that later on but anyways, I couldn't handle the sound of the fucking sound the popping!

This was one of many demons I would have in my life and would have to face whether I liked it or not cause I had to deal with it come hell or Highwater I remember few months ago I had to go to a friends birthday party and was filled with balloons and 13 of those fuckers kept popping! it was a wonder I didn't hurt someone intentionally because I was like I can't handle this. The balloons are gonna pop and they did and I was going insane. Trying to dance with my boyfriend was a pain in the years because every time I try to dance with the crack, a balloon popped, so that being said, I was not exactly tickled being at this birthday party I thought the birthday party was gonna be fine and then it was an adult thing and that there was no balloons boy fuck or wrong! it turned out there was more goblins or children there that I didn't want to deal with and they were popping the balloons on purpose and it was as if they can smell the fear kids can smell fear. Remember that if you ever have PTSD like me or PTSD, and you end up having a fear of these little shits under the age 18 And under will end up, destroying your mental health on purpose because they know! 

Just like they knew when I was about Larry that I was not fond of balloons that they were going to pop them. I remember a lot of things like popping and stomping on all this one's my favourite stomping on fucking bags and whatever else like juice boxes or even small balloons just to see me act out like an asshole! That was not my favourite cup of tea in school, and it was always going to have repercussions where I was going to be more traumatized from the fucking intentional popping or bursting a balloons bags or even juice boxes it was kind of disturbing to tell you the truth of these these kids would do that and still do that to this day is like holy Christ I just wanna cover my ears just thinking about it......

As one friend had mentioned five years ago kids can be anatomy pieces which I'm not gonna be mentioning on here!  That being said yes, kids are anatomy pieces. They are not exactly the nicest ones they grow out of the age of three once they hit four 218 years old they jackasses in my opinion I don't like to say that, but when it comes to balloons, they will pop them on purpose, I remember that was one of the declining moments of my mental health this year was this fucking party!   I cannot obviously handle balloons popping at my ear! It was deafening.

OPINIONS ON GRAVITY FALLS

OK SINCE YOU ASKED I WILL ANSWER WITHOUT GIVING SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2!! Because I know you've not seen it yet. Not sure how much of this is opinions and how much is just rambles though.

First, context, Gravity Falls is a show I have been obsessed with since it came out. I own a copy of Journal 3 and Dipper's hat and can't wait to get the Book of Bill when it comes out. So my opinions are gonna be biased!!

The greatest episode of Gravity Falls and my favourite of all time is S2Ep4: Sock Opera (watch the episode and you'll understand why, though please watch the rest of that season too haha). No further questions needed, it speaks for itself in every second of that episode.

My favourite episode from Series 1 would have to be either Legend of the Gobblewonker or Dreamscaperers. Both are fun to watch and have sweet endings and notes to it, as well as incredible comedy and great pacing. They hit so good every time.

Boyz Crazy is one of my least favourite episodes because it reminds me of primary school where everyone was feral about One Direction and I just didn't get it at all, but I still find it hilarious.

Most of my least favourite episodes involve some kind of romance subplot - thats not to say all romance centric episodes are bad, I just find it less interesting to me when it turns out Mabel's new crush is Regular Guy (Normal Man) and not five gnomes in a hoodie. Or oh look Dipper is crushing on Wendy, what's new? Its probably because I never really related to it.

My favourite character is Grunkle Stan. He's funny and a weird old man, as Mabel eloquently puts it. He's gruff, sweaty, wrinkled, and a bit of an asshole. And he cares so much for his family. He tries and thats what counts. Also his absolute lack of shame about cash - like in Double Dipper where he launches himself at that dollar bill - and conning and scamming tourists out of their money is so hilarious to me. Grunkle Stan is dear to my heart and will always be my favourite character.

Pacifica is another one of my favourite characters! She gets a fair bit more character development in the second series, and I still find myself laughing at every interaction the Pines family has with her when I rewatch the show - she's hilarious in every sense of the word. Her growth as a person is really nice to watch.

If I met Tambry irl I think I would inevitably punch her, I cannot lie, she frustrates me too much

Bill Cipher my beloved <3 (you'll see why when he shows up again in season 2)

I have rewatched this show many times since it came out and I firmly believe that so many of the jokes still hold up to this day. It shaped my sense of humour greatly. And the best bit about being older is that now I get all the jokes I didn't get as a kid!!!

My favourite running joke is Guy Who Married A Woodpecker!! He just shows up every now and again and we see a snapshot of his failing marriage and I love him.

The pool guy is objectively and unironically one of the funniest people alive. As is Quentin Trembley, 8½th President of the United States, who also absolutely shaped my personality and humour.

Certain episodes in the later half of Series 2 tone wise feel like they should have been at the start of the series or in Series 1, and the series does suffer for it in my opinion. Of course its a kids show, you don't want it to get too dark, but I feel like some parts of that series just felt inconsistent to the rest of it. Of course the rest of that series is absolutely stellar in my opinion, most of my favourite episodes are in that series, so its swings and roundabouts I suppose.

The Wendy crush is nothing short of frustrating to me every time I see it. Had to reiterate this, and I get that people don't get over crushes quickly, but especially in Series 2 it frustrates me. tbh I probably had a crush on Wendy too as a kid I cannot lie.

The ending is so sweet to me and makes me want to cry or actually cry every time, not just for nostalgia, but because it hits me hard and emotional in so many different ways. No spoilers yet!

And ending it with a really strong opinion here, you should watch Series 2 (a shameless suggestion, I don't regret it)

[loodgack]

now that the year is ending, let's take a look at, how I wrote the relationship between HN characters in the past 5 years.

the funny thing is, everyone has different relationships and I really like writing these and experimenting. separating storylines and creating new ones. maybe because I'm a writer!

***

🍓Neighbor and Nicky(Player) OPTION 1: lovers. this is entirely crack ship and headcanons based, it has little to nothing to do with any canon. if I had to put it short, then it's the sassy Neighbor from the early era and the Player character. not nicky for sure. the way the original fandom wrote them. usually the "I chase my prey in a big house, because he keeps breaking in, we're addicted to each other because we're both lonely, and I catch him" base plot. nothing more, people often read too much into it. I have quite a few au's (my first ever au, where Nicky was a journalist, other au's where Nicky takes the role of prealpha player entirely, but I still call him Nicky because yes. The return is a strong exception from all of these, that's my only AU, which is based on the final storyline of HN and happens when the act 3 opening happens. that's the only AU I have, where Nicky is actually Nicky from the og HN game. it was actually hard to write it)

🍓Neighbor and Nicky(Player) OPTION 2: this is an entirely separated option and universe from the first one. would say even, that the characters are entirely different, and my writings show it. it strongly connects to the beta3 family storyline. Nicky is obviously not Nicky here either, because during that storyline, Player was different. I can separate stories and relationships and characters, because so could the HN canon and I'm no different from it; however, Nicky is strongly headcanon based here too, because we don't know his actual personality in beta3. this second option shows the same bodies, with different souls; they're a family. they're related, they don't like each other but a generational trauma connects them. (examples are The kri origins and a few more unreleased AU's, in which they're blood related. I wrote only a few, despite I really like the beta3 storyline.) this option obviously focuses on them as a family, and how they're trying to put their differences aside to function as one, just like in the beta 3 storyline. option 1 and 2 never connect, but I think it's needless to say it.

🍓Smith and HGQuentin: allies. I think in all of my au's, these two are either allies, friends, or a couple. but allies for sure. I'm aware that Smith and Quentin wasn't going to have the best relationship in the canon, that's partly why Smentin exists to begin with. smith is a loner on purpose and Quentin is just an unlucky, loveable loner. in the AS rewritten plot, Quentin is simply on Smiths side, but there are AU's in which these two aren't the center of attention, there it's up to the reader to decide things. but they're allies for sure.

🍓HGQuentin and Neighbor: I mean the HG Quentin here, because I separate Quentins as well. I think I have one HG au, where they're strangers, everywhere else, they're the way Ike Gershowitz and Theodore were in the books. a brother-like relationship, which is trust based "you can always count on me" type. best friends since childhood, but they never argue, because you can't argue with a sweetheart like Quentin.

🍓Smith and Bea: they dislike each other.

🍓Smith and Neighbor: they hate each other. so much, you can't leave them in the same room, because one would murder another. in the Kri origins, Smith and Neighbor are forced to get along, because Smith and Quentin are together and Neighbor and Quentin are like brothers.

🍓Quentin and Beatrix: siblings. or have a sibling-like relationship. it doesn't mean that Bea doesn't look down on Quentin or doesn't find him weird, but I strongly keep the sibling thing, ever since they were introduced. AND MY OH MY!✨

🍓Beatrix and Neighbor: platonic. this one is a very interesting thing to write and think about. I can't see them as a couple with sexual stuff(this doesn't mean that I'll never try writing an au), but in general, I can strongly see them having a thing for each other vice versa. Neighbor is strong and hot af, and Bea wants to hold onto strong men and bond with them. she avoids the hints (Neighbor would surely nonstop flirt with her) but is thankful for the man's loyalty.

🍓Nicky and Smith: they interact in exactly one story so far, and it's the Kri origins. Nicky/Player is an adult there too. they seem to be fine with each other, both of them knowing that Neighbor is just something else. but it's nothing special. would say, they're neutral.

🍓journalist!Quentin and Neighbor: they dislike each other. Quentin's relationship with others is kinda the same as HG Quentin's. despite I think that Norman Darby was HN2 Quentin at some early point, I usually separate Darby and include him as different character.

🍓journalist!Quentin and Smith: enemies to lovers. not exactly, but in short, maybe that's the most fitting sentence. they're rivals, enemies, they don't have the chemistry that HGQuentin and Smith absolutely has in HG. and I can turn them into allies/lovers, but it's much harder to do so. journalist is nowhere as innocent as HGQ was. I have one more interesting headcanon, which is that Gerda and Beatrix had a fight, and Gerda ended up killing her. that's how she owns Imbir now.

that's all for now.

Smoking Causes Coughing (2022, Fumer fait tousser)

Smoking Causes Coughing is a french film with an absurdist story, inspired by power rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and general vintage american TV aesthetics, while camera, color and acting wise you can still say it's an european film. It's got an ironic, unnattached, mindless tone that is rare for me to find in french cinema. It overall doesn't make much sense while at the same time it's able to show a certain life consciousness, which it approaches in a satirical kind of dark comedic way. While the stories, individually, look devoid of real content, I think the whole movie really aims to express, in a hyperbolized way, the normality of wasting time, the lack of humanity, the relation between showing happiness over being happy. Why would you have to wear a pre-historical magical helmet to notice that the people you keep around you are wrong for you? Or an aunt who isn't worried the least about her nephew who gets turn to shreds by a shredding machine but instead worries about having to take him to dinner with his mom. In the end, if the world was really to go to an end, the Tobacco Force would have spent their last few hours alive, ironically bumming on cigarettes, looking anxiously at a defective robot repeating the same words in a loop. Maybe the most obvious giveaway of the movie's conscious character is the story of the child: honest, short and straight-forward in its message, just as children usually are, probably the only one meant to be taken literally and giving away another hint on the deeper character of the film. All in all, it's just how it resonated with me. Besides that, it's only my second Quentin Dupieux watch, but with the first one having been Reality, i feel like this was under a similar existencial ceilling. Life is full of all these wonderful things, but when your soul is lost it might as well just be a long burning cigarette that you smoke for instant and fleeting relieve. And it causes coughing.

Why Quentin Is This Radstag's Main In Dead By Daylight!

Do you remember when we had Goblin Quentin? Back before his facial rework? I miss Goblin Quentin. He looked like a guy who was on uppers for years on end as his in game lore said he was. Though CW Quentin here is good looking enough I guess. Remembering how people treated Quentin players, and mocked Quentin's look and stuff...I found a lot of parallels between Quentin and radstags so...Quentin main! Though my circumstances are different I can definitely relate to not wanting to fall asleep cause of what may happen. I hope i can find fellow furs to play some casual Dead By Daylight with. Are you a furry who plays DBD? Let me know! Maybe we can play a few games together. I warn you now though while I am not bad at the game I am also not exceptionally great. I don't take the game super seriously, I just want to have fun.

[porcelain-pines]

I am very interested in the person wearing their dead sister's face please tell me about her. Anything, but also why is she eating animal carcasses raw and wearing her dead sister's face specifically please.

The person who wears the skin mask for the most part is Quentin, he’s actually Rosie’s younger brother, and Rosie was the one who was eating the carcass.

(Tw CSA mention) Quentin has this mask because… well, its a lot lol, but basically rosie groomed and manipulated him from a young age and most of all drilled very strange and extreme religious beliefs (specifically Christianity related) into his head. I kinda went over them in a previous ask. She was terrible to him, pretty much ruined any chance he had at a normal future growing up, and relentlessly abused him emotionally, physically and sexually, but even after she died he still believed everything she had told him.

After her death, he began killing and skinning women from the surrounding area that had features similar to hers. His goal was to cut off these features, dry them, and sew them together into a mask that looked like her in an attempt to bring her back. As you can see, he was eventually successful, and although he may have started killing for that purpose he didn’t stop when he was finished, too addicted to the feeling of power he got. Especially after spiraling and getting severely addicted to cocaine, Quentin’s self control was practically nonexistent.

what’s it like making a soundtrack for a tabletop podcast you’re on, where you’re not the GM?

how it generally works is:

for character themes, I go to the player in question (if it isn't me) and I go "okay I'm gonna try and hit such and such vibes and include such and such samples from your eidolon's namesake." and then I do that and I show them the draft and if they like it and Luke likes it I go ahead. this is in some ways "the easy part" (because a character leitmotif is a more specific vibe than just A Tone) and in some ways "the hard part" (...because a character leitmotif is a more specific vibe than just A Tone)

for non-character themes it's basically just. Luke is like "okay I need motifs for X Y and Z" and then I do those and he gives me feedback as the draft progresses.

in either case, I like to fool around with leitmotif whenever possible - I really got wacky with this in season two, with various themes that reflected or drew on each other -- e.g. "Familiarity," which adds elements of Quentin and Virginia's themes to a remix of Chili's theme -- mixing multiple samples together into one song, etc.

other than that it's pretty much the same as any other commission but there's A Lot More of it because of the scale of the project. I'd say it's comparable to making the entire soundtrack for a mid-sized indie game.

the one thing that I'd say is Very Different about making a soundtrack vs. making a single song is that I have to keep in mind how the songs will sound in relation to each other. so far the biggest challenge on that front has been Ska; it's very easy to create different vibes within a genre as broad as "pop" or "rock," and Disco is a really broad and wobbly category in some ways (esp. if you factor in stuff like italo-disco or funk or house and early techno), but it can be tricky to create a song that's "ska enough" without hitting a lot of similar beats. eventually I just went "well whatever I'll just use a pretty broad definition" which is why you get stuff like Naomi's theme, which is... well it's definitely got elements of rock and elements of reggae but I dunno if it's what most people would think of when they hear the word "ska" lol.

all that being said: it's fun as hell. I love working on music and it's really cool figuring out how all this stuff fits together, how I'm going to craft a lot of different vibes while also making it all feel suitable as character themes, you know? thank you music.

Oh my god is 2023 and I have seen a lot of delulus this year I will list yall a bunch
