Love seeing discourse like “we should stop people from writing about inappropriate or problematic subjects.” Like cool. So you’re gonna fight with human nature itself. Good luck with that.
#if something has happened humans are gonna tell a story about it#if something hasn’t happened humans are gonna tell a story about it#if it’s the wildest shit you’ve ever imagined anyone coming up with#humans are gonna tell a story about it#that’s what we do here#we tell stories about weird shit

I like to think in the P.E au that Anya and Curly specifically get haunted hard by Jimmy's weird reality crossing guilt manifested.
It's targeting them because Jimmy's guilt grows more around them. The idea of him acting and playing nice despite what he did. It's like a buffet that allows it to pick from their plates.
Anya sees this stagnant version of her, blood from her mouth, clutching her stomach with a bottle of pills in her other hand. She's talking about not being heard, a pixel, relief from a burden. She tries to ask a question and it's never the right one. She's not understanding but in a way, she's getting that this version of her is in pain. She tries to help, extends a hand and asks how she can help, stop it. She stares and there's utter despair and disappointment in her eyes.
What did you do?
Curly sees this burnt mangled thing. But he can't call it that. Even with no skin and chipping teeth, covered in sullied bandages and smelling of death overdue, he can see his face. He can recognized that eye, he stares at it a lot in the mirror, usually a second one is attached but he digresses. They are just watching, staring and unmoving. He asks himself what happened, how can he help and his own retched mangled voice comes out from a empty maw.
I told you.
They have no idea what it really means. They don't know who to tell. Flashes of a life they don't know or maybe a future they haven't lived yet. Perhaps they treat it as their own minds trying to tell them something. They bare that burden themselves and that alone makes it heavier. Plumper. More appetizing to the guilt causing it.
Tragically that guilt is not their own.
#refining the au and the crew cant see the entity always but pretty much its always felt sort of like a mind over matter debacle#it is like the code scanner sections where only jimmy sees it but it can kinda interact with things to an extent like a force of negative#energy jimmy cant just outright tell them cause theyll just think he's insane but he can't ignore it cause he can't ignore the guilt anymor#anya and curly are its biggest targets as it is relatively easy for him to rectify the issues with Swansea and Daisuke vs the internalized#problems he has with Anya and Curly and its sort of about him no longer becoming that person he was in that future cause its the same#timeline but like divergence he was sent back with something awful and the story is less about forgiveness and more about repenting#hes still weird and an asshole he is being tormented but no one else gets seriously hurt so bittersweet#its like a fix-it but like imagine getting put into a perfect world with all the knowledge of ur fuck ups and now being haunted by the#guilt you will do the same shit again because you already have and having to prove you arent that person but then you also prove you didnt#ever have to be that person so you damn yourself even more like this doesn't end happy for Jimmy like ill tell you that but he'll actually#learn something so yeah thats somethting but everyone is still a little worse after this but can move on happily#the demons are tormenting each other by blaming them for Jimmy's actions invertedly cause while its not her fault anya in the reg timeline#def wondered if she stayed silent if this all wouldve happened even though it really isnt her fault and Curly knew deep down how bad Jimmy#was how bad he was to him and he likely told himself Jimmy would be the end of him and a lot of other but was so beaten down he couldnt go#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#anya mouthwashing#nurse anya#jimmy mouthwashing#pe au#thinking of calling it pestilent equine au? that sound good? we like P.E is just the short funny name for it?

that stupid comicbook.com article and also fan response in general to the companion romance situation annoys me so bad for the sole reason that everyone acts like the only people in the game are the pc and playable companions
#mine#dragon age#so many people use dorian as justification and like. you know we could have non romanceable characters who are gay#where’s the people using cassandra as evidence for why this is good actually#‘it limits the types of stories you can tell’ with THOSE specific characters. however there are probably others#i’ll admit i thought it was bizarre that they made every companion romanceable. i hate to make this comparison bc i know everyone has been#saying they’re similar when they’re really not. but that specifically feels like some baldurs gate shit#but like. think of leliana in inquisition. joker in mass effect. etc. characters whose story develops even if they’re not going on missions#it’s just this weird video game conception that sexuality only exists for romanceable characters#(or i should say. people assume every NPC is heterosexual by default. until proven otherwise by a romance arc)#but like. everyone uses the dorian example. his conflict with his homophobic father happens regardless of whether you romance him#it’s not tied to the fact that he’s romanceable. y’all just see sexuality as only relevant when you personally can or cannot smash#idk if the lighthouse will be populated now that we know it’s in the fade but theoretically we’ll have allies#and some of those allies. may identify as something other than cishet#or other than pansexual if that’s the problem but grow up. pansexual characters are not cheap and not lesser#playersexuality is a concept so gamer bros can pretend their companions are straight#because if they don’t interact with dorian and sera they can pretend everyone is straight in this game#here’s the thing like. i can understand the disappointment that every character is romanceable bc. sigh. gaider does make a good point#but that’s not what’s going on here. people are upset the companions are explicitly pan and the game is Woke#and they might try to spin it as ‘b but what about dorian’s arc in a game like this’ when once again#there may be other characters. who are not companions. who we spend time with#varric and solas are literally in all of the stuff we’ve and neither of them are playable#come ON

i sit with my saint sebastian medallion clutched in my hand like a lifeline because i’m normal
#contemplating going to sleep with it clutched in my hands. for comfort. because i’m normal#anxious about leaving the house without it most days 👍 because i’m normal 🫡#valentine notes#‘oh saint sebastian is the basic saint’ you are NOT like me. except you are. because i’m normal.#<— pisses me off i didn’t spend my entire childhood being fixated on that guy independent of any outside influence to be called basic for it#‘oh he’s the basic saint’ i want you to sit in a catholic church and read his story over and over again for years and come back and tell me#that you aren’t preoccupied with him an unhealthy amount. sorry that my chosen saint is sick as fuck that’s not my fault#i’ll start getting weird about saint florian or some shit. saint valentine even.#start venerating the mother mary. if we want to talk about basic.#anyway

I want a horror game set in Germany where you travel from one Kaff to the other via train and experience people's traumas
#moo i say#liiiisten it's perfect#germany has some spooky places#liiiisten this country is fucked up#not talking about the war parts I don't think a single person would be able to handle telling a story about the crimes with respect#but the other shit#the big holes we have the weird cities#so many hiking paths where you could die

#legit though part of why i often find myself more interested in m/f ships is two-fold#a) they still have women in them and b) m/f ships are allowed to be. well. fucked up for lack of a better word#like my god there were people losing their shit about shadowzel and saying it was wrong to ship it#when frankly it's a very tame example enemies to lovers even though we like to joke about ''toxic yuri''#but there's fuckin discourse about it because istg there's this weird attitude that f/f ships need to be Pure or whatever the fuck??#have y'all ever known lesbians irl??? wlw are every bit as screwed up as everybody else#and yes positive rep is important but i think queer women ESPECIALLY should be allowed to tell the stories they want to tell#without members of their own community jumping down their throats and telling them they're morally bankrupt#because their ship isn't all soft sunshine and rainbows and equal power dynamics and Correct Thinking On The Issues#maybe policing and shaming real queer women for ''glorifying abuse'' or whatever the fuck#(when most of the time they aren't even doing that!!!!)#is the actual negative impact here

Oh this explains exactly why I hated Mean Girls:
Because jesus christ NO!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT o_O;;;
My family moved around a lot so I transferred schools a lot lol, often in the middle of the school year too. Thanks to that I experienced a wide variety of social dynamics. In the worst, most hierarchic and 'kill or be killed' schools, I was a weirdo outsider, sometimes with literally no friends (which was fine; I knew that wouldn't last forever, bc we were probably going to move again in a couple years). In other schools where there was much less hierarchy and performance, and much more solidarity and camaraderie, I had a lot of friends and was part of many social groups.
Is your school, workplace, family etc. shit? Well, it's not like that everywhere!
You don't have to ruin your life, sell your soul or abandon all morals trying to 'fit in' when the system is shit.
YOU CAN RESIST THE SYSTEM.
#honestly#this kind of reasoning is just making up excuses for your horrible behaviour#'no but everyone else was doing it!!!!'#'we only did it to protect ourselves!!!!!^1'#'we did it because we desired to be accepted!!!!'#fuck off#that's what people holding up other fascist systems tell themselves too#lol#peer pressure is one of the most pathetic things in the world#and cause for so much stupid and horrible shit#oh and 'look!!! in this fictional story EVERYONE is mean! even the home schooled kid and the kids who really want to be kind!!!'#'so that's exactly how it works in real life too!! because the story wasn't made up or influenced at all by an author or anything!!!!'#(lol sorry for the rant ig but i've been mainlining dan and phil for the last few months)#(and dan talks a lot about his horrible school experiences which has made me think a lot about weird school experiences too :( )

We are all Montiel right now.
That's what we heard as he prepared to kick the final penalty.
His mom says she never watches and he's never missed one so far. She used to play futbol for Laferrere and worked as a cleaner.
Gonzalo has an old tatoo of three stars, but it's not destiny. It's for his friends who died in a shooting. His grandfather was shot too, when he was 7. He sold fruit from a cart drawn by a horse.
Those were phased out, now people push huge carts themselves.
When he was 10 he made River's junior team. It was a 2.5hr trip each way with two connections in public transport. He eventually made the trip on his own. By 12 the family decided that he should live at River's boarding for young players.
It's less than 40km, but that's what happens when decades of latam shit mean one fifth of the population live in one huge metro area.
He has 10 titles already and jumped into a trashcan after the final 🤣
#schools don't produce athletes here or have weight training rooms like in 🇺🇸#it's easier to get into med school than making it to the leagues#most med schools are free and you just need to have your highschool diploma .#but then you are IN med school and the horror begins#this isn't about resilience or working hard#just that if we dont tell their stories other ppl put their weird shit on us#esto es argentina#argentina nt#fifa world cup 2022

#alison speaks?#to be deleted probably#not to like be weird about things people are already pretty weird about#but like beyond the absolute turn of ‘aCTUALLY this dude we liked for the past six years was a VILLIAN in her story’#it’s the fact that some people have an audacity to look at the relationship they were in for six years#and go ‘yknow what? it was all just so she could get here. it was all about the healing’ and granted yeah#good people can help you be better. a safe person and a safe place can allow yourself the time and safety it takes to grow and heal#but honest to goodness they did NOT commit to their six year long relationships and endure all their hardships#he did NOT support her during some of the worst moments in her career#just for y’all to reduce him to some stepping stone in her story#to view him as if the whole universe revolves around her like#like imo he deserved way fucking better#and honestly unless the relationship ended in a way that i really really really could not believe it did#it’s pretty fucking shitty that he had to put up with all the shit he got from the internet after the split went public#it’s pretty fucking shitty that y’all act like she can’t really do wrong in a relationship#that y’all STILL are unable to see it as anything other than sure humans make mistakes but men are absolutely terrible#like the need to analyze the fuck out of a song yall call deep and sad and so telling#that really just sounds like ‘why couldn’t you read my mind?’ makes me want to YELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL#anyways that’s enough and maybe the last thing i’ll say#bc honestly if the current relationship ends up not lasting (not that i wish that on them#don’t get me wrong) but like if it doesn’t? just wait for everyone to come up with all the reasons why#this guy who brought her back and made her so happy and blah blah blah was ACTUALLY? a shitty guy the whole time#okay yeah that’s all that’s it#i think the reason this makes me so angry is bc y’all would not tolerate this if the situations/reactions were reversed#and honestly the amount of disrespect for a relationship that did not go burning down in flames between two people together for six years#that shared a life and a home … to get this disrespect i just….#i wish healing and happiness and growth for both of them#but damn

Sometimes I think I must consume media wrong because I don't remember The Lottery by Shirley Jackson fucking me up
Like sure I read it and was like 'wait hang on, what- oh dear.' but I didn't have the 'Dude That Was So Fucked Up I Am Fundamentally Changed As A Person' experience everyone else apparently had
And that ain't a flex btw this ain't a "oh I can read the most fucked up stuff and feel NOTHING" kinda bullshit I just. Wasn't that deeply affected lmao
#but also i got a B in English Literature A Level so I must be doing somethin right lmao#smol speaks#im trying to think why it didnt really mess with me. it wasnt a 'shocking twist' it's Where The Story Went to me#then again i dont remember many specifics from when i was younger. hell i barely remember the last week. i do know we read it though#i dont remember what conclusions i reached or what we even discussed. however i CAN think of a story that did affect me as a kid:#Lola Rose by Jacqueline Wilson. I read it in primary school and have reread it multiple times. i felt such a connection with Lola Rose#she was so similar to me even though we also had differences (her fear and hatred of sharks vs my love of them) (though her fear made sense#i dont think ive ever empathized with a character so much. and that book introduced me to the concept of abusive parents i think.#the idea of a parent who didnt simply love you but sometimes went about it wrong or made mistakes. but one who *actively* hurt their family#rereading that book again as an adult is heartbreaking ESPECIALLY the 'Voice of Doom' sections which *holy fuck i relate to*. there's such#dread and fear in that book but luckily there is hope and joy!! but God above the shit that girl deals with. anyway maybe reading a story#about a weird festival that ends with a stoning doesnt hit as hard when youve read about a girl seeing the bruises on her mother's chest#in the bath and having to tell her 5 year old brother they ran away from Dad because he hurt Mum and his response is 'but she deserves it'#abuse mention#better tag that huh. yeah sorry i put half the post in the tags again GOD i should make an actual Lola Rose post

Y'know I didn't know how we'd get a 2010s creepypasta resurgence but I wasn't expecting it to be in the form of Friday Night Funkin' mods
#musings#like i knew sonic.exe was still around because at this point he's evolved into this weird thing that exists beyond the original story#and people are making actually good shit with him now#but all the classics are being brought back into relevance within this niche sphere of content#as far as i know it's primarily kids who are into it#good for them tbh i'm glad they get a share in my own memories of the internet#but it's WEIRD#personally i preferred stuff like the mario 64 iceberg#where instead of bringing back the old stuff people make new stuff in a similar style that fits better with modern standards#like most video game creepypastas are bad#but they were bad in execution rather than concept#i think we can make better ones now#though i do admit i have a fondness for some of the better pokemon ones because those are kinda fun#and because i'm just biased#but lemme tell you it was strange to find out there's a lost silver remake and see the youtube comments on it are about fnf#probably better kids' horror than fnaf at this point lol

You know when you realize your childhood was actually worse than you thought?
#my mom's catholic but my dad is agnostic and manipulated me and my sister into loving science and now we are both unable to believe in any#he didnt promote imagination at all#he taught me enough to be bored through the entirety of kindergarten and first grade while i was in preschool#no one bothered to find a solution for the fact that i was not sleeping ever#whenever i cried my dad would say it was fake#roald dahl books. holy shit the roald dahl books.#no one found it concerning that i was writing stories about children living alone on the streets#according to a poem i wrote people were using physical violence against me in first grade#they were also bullying me for liking mickey mouse#i played a game called pregnant triangles#i was hyperfixated on graveyards#i was also hyperfixated on science and the country of scotland#when i was 2 my grandparents gave me an adult level book of greek myths#i could read it when i was 3#i hyperfixated on it and read the entire book every day#like. my childhood was. weird#oh also i have lived in 7 houses#oh yeah!! and i had a condition that hugely fucked up my digestive system#my dad kept telling me to not hide it#but he would yell at me because of it#and i was so embarrased#once i had an allergic reaction and he decided that the reason i was washing myself off in the shower was because of the digestive thing#so he yelled at me#im allergic to the literal sun and my parents always send me to outdoor summer camps

im genuinely serious when i say the murder of sonic the hedgehog is one of the best things to come out of modern sonic
#I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LETTING SONIC STUFF BRANCH OUT AND BE SILLY AND WEIRD AND NON CANON AGAIN IM SO HAPPY#i know its ''just'' an april fools joke but like#i really think it reflects on the current outlook of sonic as a whole that instead of some self-deprecating joke about the franchise on#april fools - they instead released a lovingly crafted visual novel game that takes all the characters 100% seriously (not that they dont#have jokes but yknow what i mean. mean jokes about their existence)#and tells an actual story and is fun to play and has gorgeous art#like we wouldnt have gotten this shit in like 2015 or something thats for sure#serena.txt
