I'm so exited to have posted the VERY LAST CHAPTER of a an Army Days story I started posting on Jan 1, 2022! Huge shoutout to everybody who helped brainstom anything for this ever, and to the people who definitely helped me out with specific plot points or beta reading (@the-itzy-bitzy-spider @nativestarwrites @impossiblepluto @saplesss-tree).
--
Sergeant Alvarez lowers himself into the chair next to Jack’s. “How’s your nerd?”
Jack shrugs. “Dunno. Ain’t heard nothing since they took him to surgery.” He turns Mac's little red knife over in his hands. It’s coated in a thick film of red dust, as if it’s spent a month laying on the ground outside. It’s only been a few hours since he watched Mac put it in his vest pocket when they were gearing up that morning.
“You think he’ll lose the foot?” Alvarez asks after they sit in silence for a couple minutes.
Jack shrugs again. “Dunno,” he says again. “It didn’t look so bad but you know. Can’t ever tell what damage is under the skin.” He clears his throat, as if that will clear up the thickness of the guilt that lays over him like a blanket. He doesn’t want to think about the trip back from the bomb site to the FOB. He doesn’t want to relive that again ever, even if, objectively, there are worse things that can happen to a man than surgical amputation.
Mac’s going to live. Jack needs to focus on that part. It’s good. He’s kept that much of his promise.
Jack keeps the red knife clutched tight in one fist while he ducks his head and rubs one hand over his short hair. “Worse things happen,” he repeats, out loud this time. It doesn’t sound much more convincing to hear the words spoken.
“They’ll ship him back home. Out of your hair.”
“Yeah,” Jack agrees. Losing a leg is a bad way to earn a discharge, but there it is. They won’t keep Mac here with an injury that requires extensive recovery.
The thought of Mac getting out of Afghanistan ought to make Jack happy. Kid shouldn’t have been here in the first place. He’s out of place: too stubborn, too pacifist, too damn much of an idealist. Won’t pick up a gun to save his own life, which is a pretty bullshit attitude for somebody who signed himself up for the one activity in which a person is required to carry a firearm and expected to use it regularly.
The idea of Mac going home just makes Jack sad. It isn’t just that he’s seen how much of a struggle it will be to reintegrate into civilian life, and doubly so while dealing with limb loss, although he has. It isn’t just that he feels responsible for everything that happened to Mac, although he does. It’s more that the idea of sending the kid home and never seeing him again fills Jack with a sense of loss...

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...
#Definitely not going to be able to stick with it just due to like... being realistic about my energy levels and etc. ESPECIALLY as we#enter the Evil Summer and it becomes hot all the time. But... one can attempt.. at least...#I'm also a very slow writer since I tend to re-read and edit while I write. and only move onto the next section once what I'm writing#seems okay. Which is easy for visual novel type stuff. since ''sections'' of a conversation are more clearly marked (like if you#have a menu option with 5 different dialogue choices. finish the character's response for choice 1 before moving onto 2. etc.)#Especially since when I'm done with a whole quest I always follow it up by playing through it and picking every option and making sure it#actually all works okay and etc. So I am already going to see it all a second time. Then I can go back and reorder a few words or remove#certain sentences that don't sound natural when I read them out loud (I always read it all outloud to myself since it is... just peple#talking.. it should sound like natural dialogue in their voice. etc). But my ''first draft'' is kind of not as first drafty since I pause t#edit a lot as I go along. So it also takes longer probably than it would take other people who I think treat a first draft as more#of a loose guideline or something. AANYWAY...#80F in my bedroom right now again... huzzah... I did end up finishing and recording that sims build video before the heat wave (or is#it really a heat wave if it's just summer..?? lol) came in.. but now... augh.. the editing... plus the costume photos and all else... Much#to do as always.. Often such a long todo list.. a giant scroll hung upon the walls of the evil hermit wizard tower..#Anyhow.. I hope I can finish getting ready for bed early in time to reward myself with a game of tripeaks solitaire whilst I snack on#cheddar cheese and some of those preserved artichokes in a jar. hrgm... I actually have nasturtiums (ultimate best flower) on the#deck again this year but I had to move them all into a corner today because the leaves were getting burnt by the sun lol.. Also am now more#cautiously weaving through social media to ignore all dragon age news. NOT bc of spoilers (I actually love spoilers/literally never play#any game until there's full guides on it I can read to plan my entire playthrough based on knowing exactly what I want to happen lol + mods#and etc.) but just because I'm so busy with my ownprojects I simply do not have the brainspace to dedicate... Yes I love to think#about elves and fictional universe lore. but no.. I pretend I do not see it. Does not exist to me actually. ghgj.. OHH also took som#cool pictures of flowers in the garden section of a store and I wanted to do like.. character designs based on the colors of the flowers o#something. but that might just be another unnecessary project to add to the pile.. I want to commit to the daunting task of dyeing my#hair again some time.. hrm.. this is all of the updates I can think of. As if a bunch of random tags make up for never posting anything for#weeks on end lol.. alas.. too warm to think properly I suppose.. .. I neeeeeed a long lost relative to leave me some million dollar#estate in their will so I can have the resources to move to a colder climate or something ..augh#.. but for now.. I shall toil away in my little wizard tower trying to write 2000 something words a day whilst sweating and such ghbj

Yeah... I remember seeing the architectural design majors at my uni having this breakdown each semester...
#love in the air#lita#rain#scriptwriting was the only course within my major famous for making people openly cry#because the professor would eviscerate you with her feedback#not to be mean; but she would look at the feedback you'd already been given by your classmates over and over throughout the course#and if you still hadn't fixed issues she'd really stab into them and rip you apart#she liked me though- i followed the syllabus due dates and no one else did#meaning day 1 i already had a treatment ready by the first class#and even though she told me the syllabus schedule didn't need to be followed; i chose to follow it#because it kept me a week ahead or so#So when I finished each 200+ page draft of my script I was finishing it a week early#which let me focus on other exams in other classes and manage my workload more easily#the only time scriptwriting made me cry was when i spent 6 hours typing draft 6 of a 214 page feature and my computer crashed#erased the whole thing#i'd been typing up the script based on hand notes i'd written on my previous draft so it was easy to recreate#but redoing it took 8 hours since my hands were so tired#but that wasn't the classes fault; that was my fault#i did really well in the class; you just can't take feedback personally and a lot of writers really struggle with that#i've lost so many friends because they claim to be writers who take feedback seriously#and then it turns out they're little bitches about it and throw tantrums after begging me to give them feedback#so now I will not give a friend feedback on anything they write#for the record- the way i was trained is not to be cruel or mean#you literally just go through it like 'here is what I had issues with as a viewer and here are some ideas on how to easily fix that'#always offer a solution#and for every complaint you have to give a complementt#so i'm not out there like gordon ramsey ripping into people; it's very gentle and kind#except when i gave M her round 6 feedback on her script and she STILL insisted Mt Everest was 3 billion years old in her story#AT EVERY STAGE OF THIS SCRIPT I REMINDED YOU IT IS AROUND 30 MILLION YEARS OLD GET IT THROUGH YOUR-

Aloy, Burning Shores edition
#horizon forbidden west#hfw#hfw photomode#hfw burning shores#aloy#hello yes i've finally finished the dlc#only took me a million years#mostly thanks to photomode#that i finished at all is due to the fact that i promised my gf to just play without taking pics for once#which admittedly i failed at because i still took some pics#but considerably less#23 over three full sessions of multiple hours each is a new record#usually it'd be five times that number or even more#i might take some more horus pics the next time i have a go at it#but frankly i was just too terrified to do much until the last stage of the fight#man did they capture the feeling of dread these thing are supposed to evoke well#and this was just one. piloted by a dude with the combined ego of five surgeons#not even fully operational#terrifying to imagine what they were like during the faro plague#when they were ai-operated and mass-producing machines like a capitalist's wet dream

just reflecting today on the 7th poured drink tonight and recalling how when i was venting to my co-workers about yesterday and the panic attack i had and all that, she mentioned how I needed more help when I was drowning and i swear to you the immediate thing that came to mind when she said that was alan wake
#i haven't really made many drowning gifs have i#also i feel bad cause like. god#this is so stupid and convoluted and part of the guilt i'm carrying right now#our customer service department ended up being the straw that broke my back and made me have that panic attack/meltdown yesterday#and i try#i TRY SO HARD to have some empathy towards them cause i mean#they're the ones getting basically abused by our customers#and it hurts so much to me that i can't be more help#and specifically the situation yesterday was me having to jump in and finish something that idk took me all of ten minutes to do#after i asked for some forklift assistance that took maybe like half an hour#but i had asked my employees to get that done *last week* and they couldn't do it#and the poor customer service rep had to escalate it to the director of sales which she flaunted in myf ace#and i felt terrible when i snapped and said 'ok i'll drop everything i'm doing to help you'#when i did legit have a million other things i needed to do#i'm honest to god tempted to rate myself as unsuccessful this year just cause like#i've been having to do my own employee's jobs which is also my fault for maybe not being firm like i need to be#but anyway her saying how i was drowning of course made me think of alan which honestly made me feel a little better#cause i mean it's like nick right#if alan could get out of the dark place even though it took him 13 years maybe i can too#and also inspiring in the way that like. alan needed help and i probably need help too#i've gone to therapy twice once in person and once online and like nick it's just...#not my thing#but something both therapists seemed to concur upon was that my support system isn't the best and i also need to work on myself#and love myself and lmao that's soooooo much easier said than done#but anyway i'm sorry i should get a real diary or somethin but#something about the formatting of tagging like this is weirdly comforting

I just remembered the other really funny thing about portal 2 that i don’t know if it really gets mentioned which is i’m fairly certain that if you were to play the game for the first time with no prior knowledge and without subtitles on to label the speakers you wouldn’t know what anyone’s name is. because absolutely no characters say their own or anyone else’s name until about halfway through. Like all these things happen and like 2/3rds of the main cast literally do not know each other by name it’s quite silly
#mypost#i keep wanting to play portal 2 again ive gotten the urge to replay it like once a week for the past month but i havent gone through with it#the problem is im just bad at the puzzles. i would finish the easy ones at the start and then get stuck for 1 million years#despite having literally beaten the game before. It took me a long time that first time. Sorry

#just an observation bc im avoiding working on stuff but i draw a lot and post basically everything i draw thst gets finished#and its v funny to me how u can tell how out of focus i was based on the quality of the drawing#or like when i post something and its like ok some of that was good but u def gave up halfway thru one of those lol#inconsistency i funny like that. its also funny to me that now a days i get comments like COLORS!!!#which is funny bc i notoriously haaaaaate coloring. like i will sit around whining and complaining when im home with my parents bc i dont#wanna color. its just so easy to fuck things up when u draw traditionally and it takes a million years so its a big ask lol#but i guess i dont hate is so much right now bc i kinda just slap whatever colors i want together like fuck it we ball#and thats kinda fun. reckless i suppose#its agony when u wanna try to do shadows and lights tho. like finding references ugh#or wanting to draw big ideas but then its like oh god its gonna take so long and if i dont do it all in one sitting i might die#im a lil better abt thst now bc it would b impossible but in my head i still hate it#ugh. all i wanna do is draw. theres another universe where i went to art school. or just like took art classes. and i wanna say id b happier#but thats def a lie XD i like learning too much and i dont have the attention span to hardcore learn genetics outside an academic#environment. and i got way too excited abt exploring the genetic traits of my cyano species#like i can make genetics trees for traits and look for. fuck. i forgot the word. how tf did i forget the word. oh god. horizontal gene#transfer. jesus christ its like theres a hole in my brain. well. i guess i did get only like 4hrs sleep. ugh im rambling.#i need to finish getting ready for Monday so i dont have to tomorrow and ill have time to draw. prob wont stop me feeling nauseous abt#teaching tho. OH FUCK. i just remembered i have a new office space now to decorate. fuck i need to hang up pictures and stuff#what would b the funniest way to put narut0 on my deskspace? idk ill have to think abt it. oh god im not ready#my head is like a handbell. one of the big ones when u ring it and it hits soft and u can feel the vibrations. someones wrung my head lol#unrelated

what did I do today? oh you know. went through and looked at how long my fics have taken to write. and then made a graph. obviously
#I looked at my published works from pre-2019 also but obviously decided not to include them in this#largely because I don't know for sure when I started them because I was doing some handwriting#also I didn't look at all my wips because there are a million of them#but I wanted to include the oldest (within the 2019-present frame) and the ones that are likely to get finished soon#god what a spectacular waste of time but I did find it interesting#writing tag#in case anyone is curious - the shortest time for any of these was in a tender trouble which I wrote in four days#followed by both eyes closed which took about 12#and obviously the longest would be the two black sails fics I started almost five years ago#there are some other things from other fandoms I started earlier but the likelihood of those ever getting finished is. low#average for my published works is roughly nine months. feels about right. closest thing to birthing a baby I'll ever do lmao

#really getting fucking tired of tumblr not compressing my file itself. like it ruins the quality but it wont#automatically resize my massive fucking files!? gotta do it myself?? ugh. the lack of usability across all social media platforms is just#getting so hard to stomach anymore. nothing is functional. people get their accounts removed for no logical reason. im exhausted.#and yet i still want all my shit in a collective place -_-#ugh.do you ever look at something and are like. holy shit i painted this.damn. unfortunately it doesnt happen very often but when it does?#almost always my vent boy. why. why is that?why cant i paint anything half decent except this emo boy with a mullet?whatever. also. kinda#random but.not actually random. related actually.idk if this is just me but like. sometimes there are Articles in ur living space that just#exist. like u just accept they exist even tho u have no recollection of attaining them. im talkin clothes specifically rn. like i have this#aqua-green robe with blue trim that ive had as far back as i can recall...except i cant for the life of me remember where it came from! its#almost like it spawned in my closet one day.i just. accept it.like. dont get me wrong. it cozy. its quite physically held up for decades.#i wear it all the damn time. but ive no mortal clue how it got here. ive no memory of receiving it.also ngl i had way too much fun renderin#his beard.like u cant tell bc i apply about a million overlay layers and filters respectively to my finished works. ultimately covering up#hours + hours worth of finely rendered details each drawn individually by hand. deeming my efforts useless in the end bc i cover it up but.#trust me. i took some time with that beard.beard gang beard gang.mullet beard gang.dirty smelly mullet beard man. hello yes my name is#80 y/o who is 32/33 years old. how are you today? im personally doing terrible.good talk. WHAT CAN I SAY i just think the emo grown ass man#with boatloads of physical AND emotional trauma is neat. MY HANDS LOOK LIKE THIS SO HIS DONT HAVE TO *camera pans to a fucked up little set#of discolored claws skin translucent as alll hell. no muscle.atrophied beyond repair. also a bit of dirt is caked under the brittle + ridge#unhealthy nails. cuts and scraped take approx 3 months to heal bc the nerve functioning is That Bad*.#botdbs#fk#on a final note. I drew these about a week ago. I was literally only listening to cheeseburger in paradise the whole time.
