#though he probably already goes to it

[leavememorieshere]

I made a Bobby Shaw [Bobby Wilson = Trevor Wilson] playlist because why not?

The Playlist mainly takes place after the 1995 death of Luke, Reggie, and Alex, so the playlist is kind of angsty,

just like how I like the characters I’m obsessed with.

[loquarocoeur]

I feel like charles definitely had a breakdown when it was revealed earlier this year that max really struggled with his vision after the Silverstone crash

Oh yeah obviously. Tears probably. Max had to awkwardly pet him like um schat that was three years ago, I'm fine, meanwhile Charles is there sobbing, like what do you mean you couldn't see, I almost lost you and Max is like bitch did you didn't even like me back then and Charles is like that is so not the point, Leo and Roscoe are not going to be friends, still crying, Max still petting going like.. what?

Analyzing my own feelings re: Willy v Way

I've been asking myself recently why I hate Way so much but can develop a kind of love-hate mentality toward Willy. And I think it boils down to motive.

Realistically speaking, I do wholeheartedly hate Willy. It's part of why I want him to suffer so badly. But I never found myself deeply obsessed with Way like I do with Willy. And I've realized it's because Way's motives are fundamentally mis-aligned with his actions.

He's a villain who believes all negative action is excusable for the sake of a positive outcome. If it gets Tony off his and Babe's backs, nothing is off-limits. We're supposed to sympathize with him over that, and I can't deny that a small part of me does. But there are some things I simply can't overlook for the sake of intention. Sexual assault is one of those things. And admittedly, the scene with Way was deeply reminiscent of something I myself have experienced in my real life, so it threw me for a bit of a loop and was extremely difficult to look passed in relation to the totality of his character.

But beyond that little hint of compassion, we can also recognize that no amount of harm to Babe is worth the end result of getting Tony to leave them alone. Way sees himself as one of the Good Guys because he's willing to go to extreme lengths to escape their current burden. But his actions do not beget those of a man who's morals and ethics are in the right place. Therefore, his motivation does not allign with his actions.

Willy, on the other hand, is very straight-forward. He knows without a shadow of a doubt he is commiting "Bad Guy" actions to achieve a "Bad Guy" goal. He is actively working with and for Tony's interests with a clear goal of knowingly causing harm to another person.

He is under no delusion that his actions are justified or morally sound. This is not a "the ends justify the means" situation, this is a "if I don't do this guy's bidding, I die. And what I want more than to remain morally pure is survival. So I will do what it takes — justifiable or not — to survive." His actions align with his motives. Sure he came at Babe trying to butter him up, and but his actions clearly told a different story. Lying about his intentions =/= misaligned motives, at least in this instance.

I hate Way for convincing himself that hurting Babe was an act of mercy. I hate him for believing his actions would always be viewed as Wholely Good as long as the result got Babe what he wanted. I hate him for thinking that his love for Babe outweighed any and every other possible thing in Babe's life. I hate him because he claimed to care about Babe and still put him in situations that caused him iminent danger, while believing that he was in the right.

Willy knows his actions are wrong and wholely rainted by Tony's evil intentions. And at this point in the story, he's no longer trying to convince Babe or anyone else otherwise. He's just crazy and fucked up and he cares more about his own life than anyone else's.

Thats real. Thats honest. I like an honest villain. I hate a villain who thinks their reasons justify their actions and outweigh the harm they're causing, because they're always so cowardly about their villainy. Way is case-in-point here. He's so afraid of his owm choices he stalls and stalls and convinces himself he deserves Babe and has earned the rught to his feelings and is entitled to Babe's body, to decide what will be done to Babe's body because it will — in Way's eyes — save him from a worse fate.

Willy was never here because he wanted anything to do with Babe. He doesn't care what happens to him. He doesn't care what happens to Charlie. All he wants is to secure his own survival, and if that means hurting other people he'll do it. He's not a coward.

And I think thats why I can hate Way and never want to look at or have anything to do with him again. Because this wasn't just an Evil Villain Doing Evil Villain Things. This was an Evil Villain who believes his villany is justified so long as he has Good Guy Motives.

But I can hate Willy and want to pick him apart and understand him and find out why he's Like That and where he actually came from. Because he is evil with intention. He knows where he stands and chooses to remain there.

also i do still love the idea of swapping claire and leon's re2 scenarios but i cannot help but think that the scene with sherry and chief irons would have been a LOTTT worse with leon instead of claire

Pomefiore Character Songs and Associations

Finally getting this part posted! since Tumblr ate my post the first time... I love this website ((:

We now move onto the most historical dorm - Pomefiore. The three characters here are some of the most dramatic, all in different ways from each other. But what music may connect with the three most tenacious people on campus?

Notes: Every song is from my liked songs playlist (so feel free to judge me for my taste, haha!) and I only allowed myself to use an artist once for this project. There is also some strong language and mature themes in some of the songs, so be aware if you choose to listen to them. I’ve included: - A song that represents them - A song they’d listen to - and (for some) an additional song, depending on the character and circumstance

The full Spotify playlist for ALL songs and characters is linked at the end of the post.

Heartslabyul | Savanaclaw | Octavinelle | Scarabia | Ignihyde | Diasomnia

Vil Schoenheit

Represented by: Rock Me, Amadeus - Falco

I was a little apprehensive about using this song for Vil. While it does fit his character and vibes, it is a little bit... suggestive. Putting that aside, Vil is (at least most of) this song. He's a superstar, popular, dramatic ("has flair!"), and everyone finds him to be beautiful and perfect, despite his flaws. And he does have flaws, which he doesn't want to address. I also headcanon that he has Austrian / German ancestry (or whatever the Twisted Wonderland equivalent is).

Listens to: Jackie and Wilson - Hozier

Again, I don't know why, but I believe Vil would listen to Hozier.  Vil would probably like the atmosphere created in Hozier's music.  And he'd appreciate Hozier's vocal tone and colour. I can't explain it further, but I think he'd really, really like it!

Epel Felmier

Represented by: Autotheist - Baby Bugs

Epel has some struggles with who he is. He's trying to figure out who he is within his personality, appearance, and identity. He feels a lot of pressures from others trying to shape who he is, how he looks, how he acts, and what he thinks. He's trying to find a place for himself, and he is angry about not having found it yet.

Listens to: That Turbulent Uneasy Feeling - D.O.A.

Epel would like fast-paced, aggressive music, that he can just feel. I think he would especially enjoy songs that criticize the mainstream social norms that he feels stifled by - hardcore punk would be his go-to genre. I can imagine him listening to this in his room after fighting with Vil... again. This song also represents his character well, actually!

Rook Hunt

Represented by: Prince Charming - Adam & the Ants

Rook is flamboyant. He is theatrical. And he, above almost all else, supports others in becoming their most beautiful selves. As such, the message of the song reflects Rook's motivations and thoughts. Additionally, the theatricality and subtle notes of violence of the group mirrors Rook's character beautifully. (Rook would also without a doubt listen to this, and other songs by Adam and the Ants. He is simply too dramatic not to!)

Listens to: Goodbye & Hello - Tim Buckley

Rook would simply adore the poetry of this song, and in fact, most of Tim Buckley's music. He would spend time listening, absorbing, and analyzing the lyrics, music, and history of the song. It also has an almost... historical, European-esque(?) feel to the instrumentation and musical lines that would highly appeal to him.

Bonus - Also listens to: All I Ask of You (Phantom of the Opera)

One of Rook's hobbies is going to theatre productions, and he would have just loved the grandeur and the tragedy and the heart of The Phantom of the Opera. I'm certain that he would consider "All I ask of You" to be an absolutely beautiful declaration of love and commitment, and would likely be one of his favourite musical theatre pieces.

re: drive, do what you did with your sister when y'all went to Texas but alone?

when i drove from San Francisco to essentially Vancouver on my way to Alaska, it was literally like every other road trip except i had to call all the shots. which was stressful af since this wasnt a For Fun trip so i asked for a buddy on my way back down

oh!! you can bring like a plushie and take photos of it in places :3 that is your travel buddy

ah!! yeah, see, the biggest problem is that my sister did most of the planning for that trip skdhfskdg

it is,,, mmmmm,,, well part of it is that i'm going to be flying instead of driving! since it's a 30hr drive :') which is Fine and Okay except i have to go through 2 of the busiest US airports by myself with next-to-no experience :'))) i may or may not be very nervous about that lmao

but other than that it's also gonna be a longer trip! im going for about a week (probably, i know i'll be leaving saturday but idk what day i want to return home yet) whereas my trip to texas with my sister was 3 days, as was my trip with my other sister when we went to california! (<- that was also my only airport/plane experience thus far) so im gonna have more time there to actually Do Things as opposed to just... Day 1. Arriving, Day 2. Doing the Single Thing, and then Day 3. Leaving

that said though, a travel buddy actually sounds like a very good thing for me to bring!! ive done similar things on big family road trips where we would stop to remember to take photos, though those were more of Us than anything else, but i think it would be a nice way to remember to actually TAKE photos!! as well as helping me actually stay calm enough to figure things out :)

[an-extrodinary-blog-for-el-topo]

Apart from Le Chevre obviously, who's your favourite? Faculty included 👀

(when was this sent like 2 days ago lol someone help me already)

(btw.)

(I forgot what to say lol btw my air conditioning is not working so I'm a bit nuts rn lol ha 😋)

Who told you I play favorites..I don't have favourites.. I like all the people I've met..

I mean..if I was forced I would go with Black Sheep but then again I can't because Black Sheep isn't Black Sheep anymore and Black Sheep is Carmen SanDiego now..

Then I could say Crackle, but Crackle's favourite is Black Sheep and Ehm..I don't like playing favourites.. didn't I already say that..

I don't play favorites with the faculty either..Though if I would have to pick it be Dr. Bellum.. most of the instructors don't really care about our needs and whatnot, just because we're adults doesn't mean we aren't teens..and from what I heard, teens have necessities.

Dr. Bellum did the same but at least she could relate to our pain in a way.. though I wonder how she knows what we go through everyday on the island and why..and she's very amusing outside of working hours for her..I could consider her telling Ms. Countess Cleo how some students should start dating amusing..?

Well ehm..that is it..I guess so.

👋

-p.s: Le Chèvre isn't my favourite either even with his role in my life, but that's mainly because I know him way more personally than others..so no, he's not either. :3

[afniel]

AH I REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY EARLIER but it's kind of stupid, lmao.

So my partner is getting into brewing beer and I got them a Tilt, which is a Bluetooth hydrometer. It measures specific gravity and temperature, which are things you want to know so that you don't kill your yeast or whatever. Except the sensor's Bluetooth range is super short, and it basically runs via a phone app, and the temperature we're logging currently is the crawlspace, accessible via the staircase closet. So they were like, wait, what do we do about this, because I can't leave my phone in the closet, that's my alarm clock.

In a kind of ridiculous turn of life imitating art, I was like, hold up, I got just the thing right at my desk. Bam. Old phone. We just needed to scrounge up a charger because the battery is so dead that after charging just enough to power on it claimed it was at 53% (to be fair to it, there is a very real chance that it's correct, and it just holds no charge at this point so the capacity is just THAT low) and now it lives in the closet logging sensor data.

And I was like, you know...didn't I just solve a major story detail with a much larger version of this...yeah, no, this is all vaguely familiar somehow, power supply issues and all. Kind of cool that the concept works though. Kind of weird that it came up at all?

We are not gonna talk about the fact that I still have at least two more ancient-ass phones in a drawer where that came from because look, man, sometimes you just need a camera/mic/mini computer with Bluetooth and wifi that fits in a pocket, and people just get rid of these things, but not me. I actually could build a shitty security system out of them if I was reaaaally inclined. I mean. I'm not. But it's technically possible.

For real though, If I pick up any stupid maker projects I still high-key am thinking about slapping Bluetooth into a necomimi headset and running that through an Arduino and learning to code just enough to let me skip songs/change the volume on Spotify with my brain, because it's entirely doable, and I mean yeah I could do that on my phone remotely too, but that's not funny, now, is it. I'm just not sure it's $350+ of parts funny. Kind of a big investment just to prove the point that haha look I am the extremely ADHD type of lazy where I would rather solve a problem via the most convoluted and complicated Rube-Goldberg type ass machine way possible rather than just perform a single simple action.

YEAH I'VE BEEN THIS SCATTERED ALL DAY AND I REALLY SHOULD GO TO BED SHOULDN'T I. I started playing Satisfactory. Mistakes were made. I'm going to dream about conveyor belts again and I did it to myself...

[astro-b-o-y-d]

So out of all the letters/numbers/symbols/etc I still need for Mabel's font, I only need to find about six. One I know I could probably find in one of the books I have and the rest could PROBABLY be fudged if I'm unable to find them.

So I'll likely get to work on actually making her font over the next few days.

[a-person-on-the-internet]

After reading the notes:

I get the idea that jimmy experiencing A Consequence For His Actions sounds like it would be a good ending AU, but… let’s be honest this wouldn’t fix anything. It’ll make it worse.

What if...

What would happen if they had changed places?...

[tentakrool]

some facts about robert prevost (leo xiv) that i think are important to know:

while he was born in chicago, he has spent the vast majority of his life outside of america. he went to rome at a young age, then spent most of his priesthood in peru

pope leo xiii was well known for his interest in social justice -- the fact that prevost chose this name may show that he also nurses an interest

he was one of pope francis' closest advisors

he's described as being balanced in terms of his outlook, but has progressive views on some specific issues, including migrants and poverty

he is relatively young -- we will probably have pope leo xiv for a long time

quote from CBS article: "While Prevost is seen overall as a centrist, on some key social issues he's viewed as progressive. He has long embraced marginalized groups, a lot like Francis, who championed migrants and the poor."

another quote: "Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church." -Robert Barron, bishop of a diocese in Minnesota

so while it does leave a bad taste in the mouth to have an american pope at this time, he is definitely not the kind of pope trump will like, nor will the conservative base. while he probably won't catapult the church into a lot of uncharted territory, he does look as if he will at the very least continue and support the work francis laid the groundwork for

additional information:

apparently he is involved in sexual assault coverups -- not fantastic, but to be honest the entire catholic church is so incredibly guilty of this it's not surprising

robert prevost has tweeted five times since joining twitter. one of those tweets was telling jd vance he does not understand love

updating information: "He didn't cover up those cases though. It seems like he opened the investigation in the case of the two women who were abused and encouraged them to go to the police, and then the investigation was closed by someone higher up than him afterwards. With the priest who abused kids, yes he let the abuser live at the priory—under supervision, which given that abusers have to live SOMEWHERE I'm glad that it was somewhere he was being observed. (In any case when the USCCB revised the rules two years later to be stricter, the abuser was moved somewhere else; Prevost was just following regulations as they existed at the time.) As for the accusations Sodalitum has made against him, Sodalitum themselves were dissolved last year for having a shitton of sexual abuse going on in their group, and since Prevost was part of shutting them down they hate his guts; any accusations they've made against him are extremely sus at best." this information seems reliable, but needs evidence attached to it. it is public knowledge that Sodalitum were dissolved (by Pope Francis).

even more information:

robert prevost was a high-ranking augustinian -- this order is notoriously pro-immigrant, pro-environment, and anti-materialism to the point of criticising capitalism

i already mentioned that the previous pope leo was something of a social activist. specifically, pope leo xiii specifically championed worker's rights

update: since taking the papal seat leo xiv (prevost) has specifically called out ai as a threat to the world and its workers, comparing leo xiii’s campaign for laborers to his own dedication to addressing this growing concern

[pnsge]

one day i'll get the courage to say the words i want part 2: return of jafaar
