what do you mean by pajama week?

'pajama week' is a term coined by dnp in 2016 where they don't do any work/check emails/post regular content for an extended period. it started after the american leg of tatinof (x) but now we pretty much only use it in reference to the time between the holidays and the first upload of the new year (usually mid january...they use the term 'week' in the same way they use the word "daily" so its more like pajama 3 weeks)

pajama week is basically an understood silent agreement that dnp are gonna be mostly quiet and we're not going to ask for signs of life until they're ready to emerge from their cave

The screen shots that started it all...

I am taking the month of January off from social media/screen entertainment as a chance to recharge and reset. I'm always trying to spend less time on my computer, and it only ever results in me endlessly browsing and not engaging (because if I'm not liking, reblogging, commenting, etc, I'm not *really* here, right?), so this is going to be a time for me to step away entirely and ask myself what my purpose is on all the various sites, and how much/what sort of time I'm willing to give to it. (And also whether I'm engaging as Louise-the-person or E.L. Bates-the-author, because those roles get blurred a lot and that's not super healthy, either)

I also hope to get a significant amount of writing done during this time (I am also limiting my fiction reading for the month of January--something else I've been feeling the need to be more purposeful about but have not had the gumption to do anything toward that until now), so hopefully when I return in February it will be with both a new direction AND some new stories underway--or at least better progress on the old stories!

Before things got better, they momentarily got worse…

(Although more violent things happen or have happened in Far Cry 5, I felt this needed a Mature Community Label, just to be safe)

Chronologically, this is the first time my Deputy Taylor’s story (you know, the one I’ll never fully write) really diverges from canon. This is also the least pleasant thing that happened between her and the Baptist.

Context and explanation under the cut:

While John is busy taking Hudson back to her “room”, Taylor manages to grab a knife in his toolbox (with her teeth) and to cut the ropes around her wrists. She considers leaving the Confession room to go look for her colleague, as we do in the game, but she quickly realizes that not only has she no idea where Hudson is, but that trying to find her way through an unknown, presumably huge bunker filled with cultists also isn’t the best idea. Instead, since the chair is still intact in this scenario, she decides to sit down, hold the ropes around her wrists to make it look like she’s still tied up, and wait for John to arrive so she can ask him where Hudson is… and maybe tie him up and steal his key, while she’s at it.

When he comes back, he seems relieved that she’s still here, and he politely (but not without a hint of irony) thanks her for her patience. She tenses when his eyes linger on the ropes for a few seconds, but he then simply smiles at her and asks if she’s ready to Confess her sins. She shrugs and replies that she doesn’t really have a choice.

“Very well,” he says. “But before we begin…”

He comes closer and leans over her, placing his hands on the ropes around her wrists.

“…did you really think that I wouldn’t notice?”

At this point, he’s not smiling anymore. Feeling suddenly cornered and in danger, Taylor pushes him over using her feet and a fight ensues, during which they mostly try to subdue (and not kill) each other. He’s a more powerful opponent than she expected him to be, partly because he’s absolutely furious that she “betrayed” him, and anger makes him stronger. At one point, he even manages to overpower her and, in pure rage, puts his hands around her neck.

A few seconds later, the Deputy’s survival instinct will cause her to deal a powerful blow to the Baptist’s left cheek, effectively knocking him out.

Taylor was wearing a t-shirt when she woke up in the bunker, but it was ripped open by John, as it is in the game, and she lost what was left of it in the fight. She even briefly used it as a “weapon” to try to make him lose his balance. That said, I want to stress that this scene isn’t supposed to look sexy, and they were too busy fighting to really pay attention to that anyway. John also lost his glasses that day, as you can see on the right of the picture.

I don’t know if you noticed the bruises on Taylor’s neck, on her knuckles, and on John’s cheek here, but if you did, that explains them.

Later in the story, when their Wrath has considerably subsided and their relationship has positively evolved, they will get to talk about this incident again so they can move forward together. Acknowledging your past helps you build a better future.

Shadows of Fear: Did You Lock Up? (1.1, Thames, 1970)

"And they didn't make much mess?"

"No, not really. They forced that door. Smashed the cabinet, slashed a sofa. And kicked a hole in the bedroom door."

"Ah. Big mistake."

"What is?"

"Never lock inside doors. Anything you can to keep them out - but when they're in, let 'em get on with it."

"I'll remember."
