Episode 8 Thoughts

Obsessed with the implementation of horror in Neverafter. Like, yes, obviously the creepy spiders, gore, cannibalism, etc. But that moment for Timothy of gazing into an abyss of ink, the dark and bottomless origin of creation itself, and having something stare back at you?? To be observed in such a way that you are instantaneously rendered into a fictitious state and grasp the frivolity of your own existence. It's utter meaninglessness fills you as vast as the oceans are wide. And something else, about the existential horror that must accompany the realization you are a mere cog in a wheel you cannot begin to comprehend, let alone have a hand in designing.

I don't know a lot about the philosophy of predeterminism, if that's what it's called, but there is a very unique, juicy genre of horror within this space that has to do with utter powerlessness, futility, and essentially all of your choices- all of them- being illusory.

So cruel too because our ragtag group of survivors have been trying so hard!! Jotting stories down and battling against the odds and banding together. People of decisive action because this world needs them to be. In a way, this idea of the authors stands in opposition. Or better yet, its reality nudges their deepest fears, whispering to them that maybe, just maybe, nothing they do ever mattered or will ever matter at all.

And to have your life, death, everything in between be nothing more than lines on a page thought up by someone else? That you aren't even as real as everything else?? That is its own special kind of horrific.

thinkign about how alone and unloved morty was for all his life and rick was the first time anyobdy ever put such an amount of intense attention and dependency onto him . and rick had a whole new family and losing them made him stop seeing the value in other people as a whole and morty was the one and first thing that woke him up

I’m having so much fun with the usage of pronouns in Quiet Throes you guys

I didn’t even intend for that to be such an important thing, and yet!

Anyways I finally have the Talk with KC down, now I just need to get the Mindscape Scene and what comes prior to it, might move some stuff around so it isn’t as cluttered as it is atm

It feels good to finally make progress =w=

Today I went on my first-ever date with another lady!

We met on the dating site H.E.R after chatting for over a month and though I was terrified of my 1st date as a bisexual woman, I'm also so, so very proud of myself for going thru with it.

Overall, my date was so very kind, attentive, funny, and pretty! She gave me a warm, tight hug when we met outside the burger joint; we chatted casually as we waited in line (she thought I was shy at first...and I was!!); she insisted I order first; she likes her iced tea sweet like I do.

She likes vanilla milkshakes with whipped cream and I like cheer-wine floats; she shared chicken wings with me and I shared french fries with her; when I teased her that she's nasty for liking bleu cheese dip, she unironically bought me hot pleasantly mild sauce for my fries and insisted it was mine; we both made each other burst out laughing with personal stories and anecdotes; we shared some minor pain with respect; she likes red and sportswear and I like pink and Barbie; she gave me an even bigger, tighter hug at the end of the date...the kind that makes my ribs hurt a little and makes my back feel squished.

Just the kind of hug I like.

She thinks I'm adorable as anything.

I'm not too sure where it's all going to go yet, but I cannot wait for our 2nd date to a movie next week! Gah!

thinking about how riz has things he wants to do and things he needs to do. like i don't think he'll hate his clubs but those are very much needs, he wouldn't be doing them if he could afford college. whereas helping his friends?? that's a WANT. he wants nothing more than to support his friends. and perhaps there might be some conflict later in regards to everything he's doing, but it's not because he's putting so much on his plate doing what he wants, it's cause he needs to all these extracurriculars too. like helping his friends is not getting in the way of his clubs, it's the clubs that are getting in the way of helping his friends. and now of course the helping his friends thing has turned into a need as well. he can't let up even if he wants to now.

that's how i feel abt it at least

[blackmosscupcakes]

I started listening to Worlds Beyond Number and it's so good. I listened to the preludes and I'm about halfway through episode 1 (and trying to figure out the best point to subscribe and listen to the Children's Adventure) and it's so different and immersive. Absolutely perfect cast and I knew it was going to be something special when I saw everyone on here losing it over the sound design and THEY WERE RIGHT.

Also just works as a very large reminder that I love Aabria Iyengar.

[a-tenno-called-prin]

I don't know why this is making me so emotional. Maybe trying to function on 3 hours sleep is contributing, but..she was my first. Five years ago, I stumbled my way into this breathing, vibrant world, and I chose her.

To see her like this, after so many emotions, stories and history. It's a little too much. With tears in my eyes, I welcome her home, once more.

Starting out, things going Exactly to plan, as expected (Patreon)

[oflgtfol]

i was talking to my therapist last week about how i'm kinda excited but also equally apprehensive about starting grad school this fall because yes, i so so desperately needed a gap year otherwise i think i literally would have killed myself and/or had a breakdown big enough to land me in the hospital, and even beyond that i just needed to figure out a more concrete plan of what i'm going to do with my life in general -- while all of that is true, and i'm glad i took the gap year for it, i'm also apprehensive because i genuinely feel like an entirely different person than i was even at this exact point in time last year, nevermind anything earlier than that. it's only been a single year of me being out of school but my life has changed so dramatically, mostly for the better, and my whole personality has flipped on its head, it's just going to be so fucking weird going back to the same school, the same campus, potentially seeing my old friends around. augh

[meringuejellyfish]

being into a work that is ongoing is a really interesting experience especially when its something like a manga/comic which takes a Long time (what an insane art form im always thinking about this) im waiting for the water to boil for my pasta im so hungry for dinner. Ok well by the time im posting this i ate like 40 minutes ago maybe an hour im so tired of eating dinners that do not have a side dish

[prismatoxic]

i am for sure approaching the finale of the first level in p5t, where the only spoiler i know about will happen, presumably. i've decided i'm going with ryuji. i fucking love yusuke with all my heart and soul, and i'm sure his version of whatever this plays out as is great, but...

well, pegoryu was my first p5 ship, and remains one of my faves. ryuji is special to me. if i can't have akechi for this then ryuji is equally good (but in a very different way).

...admittedly i also have no idea where or when or how the akechi & yoshizawa dlc comes into play. i bought it before i even started the game. i assume they're not just inserted into the main story or anything, but i kind of assumed they'd be available as just team units. i guess that could be right still; the whole first level is about re-assembling your team, so it'd probably be weird to just give you two free guys when the structure is about building up your power and strategy. so maybe after this part...?

i could look it up of course, but i haven't gone into a persona game blind since strikers, and it's more fun that way. i'm sure i'll figure it out.
