[utterqueerdisasterthesimp]

introducing the latest emotion

timesick: like homesick, feeling as though you are in the wrong time, and wanting to be able to relive a certain point in time again

[birrdies]

HWLLO I LOVE TIMESICKNESS SO MUCH AND I CANNOG STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU THANK YOU FOREVER !!!!!

i am soo glad (: I didn't think much about the fic after I finished it tbh but the longer it's been since I grow more and more fond of it. Think it might be one of my favorites I've done tbh so I love seeing new people discover it every once in a while :')) thank you for reading!

it feels so weird seeing a colored picture of an older time.

because when you see a black & white picture, you brain tends to dismiss it as abstraction because of the lack of colors. it obviously doesn't look like reality.

but when you see a really old color picture, you brain can't dismiss it and has to accept it's real. and suddently, you get an idea of how that time looked like, was like.

and you realise it's so different from right now, yet not how you expected it. and then you try to imagine what it would be like living then, walking amonst those buildings, seeing those people dressed in those clothes. and it feels eerie, like homesickness for an era (yours rn).

and the "worse" (it's not bad, really) is that it's gonna keep getting worse... like, i imagine at some point there's gonna be as much time between then and the invention of colored pictures than now and the middle ages, and it would feel FUCKING weird to vividly picture yourself in the middle ages ;w;

I just realized there has been accidental foreshadowing of Bad killing Ros since she came back from The Null. Bad talked with Foolish about their concerns with Ros, Aimsey and Pangi and they both agreed if they don't improve they may have to try killing them to fix them. They agreed that killing would be the last resort but they couldn't rule it out. Bad and Foolish both did try various methods to try and bring Ros's memories back and cure her timesickness but none of it worked. Killing Ros was always the last resort to try and help her. Bad even told Joe Broski Prime that Ros was never the same after The Null and part of why he killed her was that he hoped this would finally fix her timesickness. Bad didn't plan to kill Ros but when she came to him fully set on dying he already knew this may have been the outcome from the start. He did his best to help her in his own ways and even at the end he still tried to ask her if this is what she really wanted. Ros knew what she was doing when she asked Bad of all people to kill her. She knew he was one of the only people who would be willing to kill her and she was right. Bad didn't want to and tried to avoid it but he has been willing to for awhile.

Do you think Ros reminded him of when he slowly died from radiation poisoning from a nuclear explosion? The way he got more and more lost and forgetful? The way he tried to hide that anything was wrong? The way he would deny anyone who wanted to help him? The way he died alone in a field with no one around? I think I really do understand why he was willing to kill her even if he didn't want to.

So far I've managed to explain pretty much all technology to Marcus (timesick Roman legionary who's crashing on my couch) by just telling him "An engineer made it, there are cogs and mirrors inside" and he just accepts that most of the time but I tried to show him some vine compilations and he got so scared. Spent all day hiding in the cupboards muttering about "daemons chanting barbarous names."

‘It’s the time sickness. It bends and stretches my body on the time scale. At the moment I’m feeling very energetic because things are going very quickly. Soon I’ll get tired again.’ They explain.

They laugh a little bit. ‘And you do certainly have an… energising presence.’ They add, with a joking tone.

Dr Worm continues to enjoy the pets, making satisfied humming noises every now and then.

The brave Clint Eastwood is a legend at Hill Valley and around !

When he's alone, and homesick, or especially timesick, Marty wears his Nike shoes.

Allegra and Cisco for the character bingo👀

Allegra Garcia:

She’s cool. Her powers are cool too, and so is her superhero name (Wavelength, I think it was?). I wish I had more to say about her, but honestly I didn’t get attached to most of the new characters 😅 her story did start off very intriguing, with her being a former inmate who had to turn her life around, and the story with her cousin Esperanza was interesting too, and her powers are cool, but…aside from that, she didn’t really strike me in any particular way.

Especially since she doesn’t have much to do after that except be Iris’s mentee…which was a messy arc on its own tbh—somewhat effective, but not as much as I think the writers wanted, especially since iirc Allegra is the de facto head while Iris is timesick or on her babymoon with Barry? That struck me as premature, because the show establishes her as a strong reporter and hero, but not a strong leader as much imo

(I also don’t like that she was the one to defeat Thawne, but that’s on the writers, not her)

Cisco Ramon:

I love him so very much 🥰 he’s incredible, underrated and nerfed by the show…and as I’ve said in the past, he never should’ve given up his powers (or, if he did, the show should’ve properly explained why and not tried to undo it lazily with “Mecha-Vibe”).

Also also, the fandom is generally pretty positive towards him now, but…the way they turned on him in s3 when he dared to be rightfully mad at Barry…*heavy sigh* also I once saw a video titled “Cisco being SB’s child for x minutes”*, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. Literally wtf. Cisco is their age you weirdos.

*I don’t remember how many minutes it was, and ofc the ship name is censored

send me a character (or multiple) and I’ll fill out the bingo!

ros forgot about the explosion. ouhhh the timesickness

[theonehitwonder]

the thing about Jayce and Viktor is that I would be SO on board with what they’re doing with them. I would be their BIGGEST fans. Except. The thing is. These aren’t original characters. These aren’t Arcane’s, they already existed with a story of their own and it bears almost no resemblance to what they’re doing. Viktor isn’t making himself into the Herald, he’s being used as a skin puppet for the Hexcore. Jayce is not taking a moral stance against Viktor, he’s timesick and taking shots in the dark. And that is fun! I would be okay with that! But it isn’t Jayce and Viktor and I can’t help but feel like this won’t bode well for the game versions.

[ihopeucomehomesoon]

maybe timesick? like you miss a certain period in your life while you were there

i was thinking that lately i might miss who i used to be or my younger self…even though i felt more existential and in my head, a little bit of existentialism may be necessary to generate a sense of self. lately i feel detached and uninterested so im a bit homesick for the self if that makes sense

EMMALEEN: ‘The Sun Will Still Shine When You Die’

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

As regulars know, we feature a lot of heavy music in these pages. Sometimes heaviness shows up in the least expected places. Would you believe in a banjo? EMMALEEN will make a believer out of you.

Her new album 'The Sun Will Still Shine When You Die' (2023) is beautifully bluesy music with notes of melancholy and sorrow, but also hope and peace. Music for a cloudy day, if you will, and we're getting right into them now. Emmaleen's haunting, oaken voice is warm, hearty, and strangely soothing, even while singing sad songs about sad situations. It is, after all, witchy blues and Gothic folk. I call it downright enchanting.

There's a macabre air to songs like the swampy "Timesickness." I envision long, lonely days and nights spent on 19th century prairies waiting for loved ones, waiting for the weather to change, and plenty of time to stew on the grim reality of things.

The eleventh hour is here The world is over run and underpaid

The smart instrumentation makes each song captivating, whether brisk and up-tempo or slow and unhurried (those bass drum drops on the opening "Wailing Trees"). The recording captures the experience with great clarity and presence. I felt as if she could have been playing my piano across the room during the dark, dreamy "Ballad in Blues."

I really appreciated the "Interlude," with its spontaneous singing and spontaneous noises from the band. When "Forever and Ever" started immediately following, I was all ears. Story time! Emmaleen convinces you of every verse, painting a word picture that is vivid and easy to sympathize with. In the most amazing and unexpected way, the mood changes to a bluesy country folk that transports us to a time before all the sound and fury of this present age.

"Sun and Moon" follows and it's a bouncy, pleasant number, with the bass drum rejoining us for moments. You can feel your cares starting to lift. By the final song, "Lullaby For Lonely Nights," you can really float away. True to its name, it is gentle and reassuring, starting with banjo and voice and then appropriately timed appearances by the harmonica, bass, bass drum, piano, and guitar.

The Sun Will Still Shine When You Die is recommended for fans of Tom Waits, Jim White, Odetta, Karen Dalton, Son House, Diamanda Galas, 16 Horsepower, and Billie Holiday. And if some of those names are new to you (as they were to me), it presents an opportunity to explore a genre that still finds power and relevance in our busy, sick, and haggard world. Emmaleen has tapped into one of the powers innate in all of us, and that is the outlet of song, giving release to our burdens and expression to our joys. Out in digital format on October 20th (pre-order here).

Give ear...

LISTEN: Emmaleen - 'The Sun Will Still Shine When You Die'

SOME BUZZ

Born in 1991 in Namibia, Emmaleen Tomalin is a force to be reckoned with in the world of independent music. As a solo artist, she has crafted a unique and enchanting niche in the realm of witchy blues and gothic folk. Following the success of her debut album 'Songs from the Unseen, the Unsaid and the Unborn' in 2022, Tomalin has continued to captivate audiences with her evocative storytelling and haunting melodies.

In February 2023, Tomalin unveiled 'The Other Side,' a mesmerizing recording from 2015 that showcases the artist's early mastery of her craft. This release served as a tantalizing prelude to her upcoming full-length album, 'The Sun will Still Shine When You Die,' scheduled to be released on October 20, 2023.

The journey into the shadows continues with the release of the first three singles from the upcoming album. 'Wailing Trees,' 'Sister Sister,' and 'Timesickness' were unveiled in August and September 2023, giving fans a taste of the ethereal landscapes and mystical narratives that await them. These singles set the stage for an immersive experience that transcends conventional musical boundaries.

'The Sun will Still Shine When You Die' promises to be an inner journey into the realms of magic realism and spiritual introspection. Emmaleen's time-traveling witchy blues and gothic folk songs transport listeners into another dimension, where bone-chilling moments coexist with raw vulnerability. The album's slow pace, haunting vocals, resonator guitar, banjo, and sparse percussion create a sonic tapestry that is as unique as it is bewitching.

Recorded and engineered by Ruan Vos (Sonic Nursery) the recording process took four days - nine hours a day of live recording and overdubbing. All songs were recorded live with guitar, banjo or piano and vocals in two to four takes. Emmaleen wrote the bass lines during the recording process on acoustic bass. The percussion was improvised with handmade instruments and a kick drum.

Being the only guest musician, Lliezel Ellick performed cello on 'Wailing Trees'. It was Emmaleen’s intention to keep the music as clean and natural sounding as possible with an analogue 'hands on' approach. The process still allowed room for spontaneous creativity in the moment.

Emmaleen chose to record very quickly to capture a small window in time of focused energy. “If I became too self-aware my performance would suffer - having a tight deadline gave me no time to think and forced me to feel my way through. We purposely left in certain sounds we liked such as; clearing my throat or the sound of my shoes shuffling. This being part of the music and the nature of live recording.” She comments.

The album serves as the next chapter in Tomalin's artistic evolution, an amalgamation of old styles giving birth to something both timeless and fresh. In a deliberate departure from instant consumer culture, 'The Sun Will Still Shine When You Die' invites audiences to embrace the deliberate and savor the nuances of a musical journey that defies the ordinary.

Brace yourselves for a musical experience that transcends the ordinary and takes you on a spellbinding adventure.

re:re: billy (720363409685741568) and jimmy (720331442297700352):

booster here! yeah uh, the JL gives up on people once they can't perform to their cookiecutter standards anymore. they pretend they dont, but they'll stop looking at you as their equal and more n more like a failure, just for expressing your humanity in too ugly a way.

my mental health deteriorated after ted died for a combo of reasons, mainly grief, isolation, and timesickness. travelling thru the multiverse showed me my own death a dozen times over, lifetimes i would have lived, worlds i wish i could have shared with ted, the JL, ANYONE - but i couldnt share it. i had nobody who'd believe me anyway. and the actual act of jumpin around in spacetime leaves microabrasions on ur brain, turns out

so when i'd go 'home' to the people who refused to see the real me and tried to take on hero stuff in the present, it was hard to care. my life felt like a sick dream. i lost whatever qualities batman was proud of. id forget the timeline i was in and go into battle unprepared af. so i left the JL before they could vote me out n cruised the timeline full-time. i couldnt stand to hear the no that was coming.

i remember you, question - not sure which timeline(s) i met you, but i regret not hanging out with you more. ableism is p unavoidable in discussions about me too. + i admire you, shazam - you rule, but im glad you never joined up. the JL woulda chopped your confidence to bits. you're both heroes, aight?

-your pal, booster gold!
