I think the most miserable writer experience is when I've written something in a haze of hyperfixation but then the fixation juice runs out before I finish the thing. this is however turned into the most delightful writer experience when some point later, maybe weeks, months or years down the line, I finally come back to the thing and manage to finish it, seeing where I've grown as a writer in the process <3
#there is also an additional facet to this which is#''i know this mess of notes; disorganised files; and cryptic inline comments that seem to be instructions for future self's editing#made sense at the time. but also what the FUCK was going on in my head.''#writeblr

Posting screenshots from The Raggy Dolls every day until ITV puts it on ITVX: Day 76:
#ok stupid theory time!!#so Princess is supposed to be a princess doll right#but she looks nothing like the others#(even IF she was a princess doll that got ruined she'd still share similarities with the others like having remnants of a blue dress)#so i have two ideas as to why that is:#theory 1:#she was meant to be a special edition#but the machine messed her up as we are led to believe#OR theory 2:#(which is my personal favourite)#she was never actually meant to be a princess doll at all#what she really is is a test sample for multiple fabrics#that just so happens to share the same base as a princess doll#it makes sense#her dress (while patchwork) is too neatly sewn to have been tore up by the machine#not to mention her hair is completely different to the other princess dolls#and her sharing the same basic body as the princess doll would explain why she was on the production line alongside them#so in a way#she's a bit like sad sack#another thing to add to this theory#is that her speaking voice is different from the other princess dolls#(probably because Neil put in more effort because she's a main character)#idk i thought of this at like 3am#the raggy dolls#princess

this relationship between the emperor and his favorite concubine is something else. because apparently she was his DAD'S concubine and she reminds him of his mom...he's like you're the only connection i have to my mother (presumably because she was friends with his mom, because they were concubines of the same guy, and because after his mom died she used to take care of him and make him the food his mom used to make him because she "loves children") and i'm sitting there like š¬ ok where are we going with this. then i get to the end of the show and discover they weren't going anywhere with it in particular. they were just like, we want this guy to have a mommy complex and we want you to know about it. okay. thanks i guess...
#i'm like is his mommy complex relevant? and they're like no š#like they didn't have any reason to make her that much older than him or to have her be one of his dad's concubines#it never becomes relevant#they could have left out that conversation in which they talked about her taking care of him as a kid and it wouldn't have affected anythin#and not that this show cares about relative time ('eight years ago' never makes any sense)#but it's also not to make ji shuran old enough to be ruoyao's mom or anything...li-fei is jsr's younger sister#if she had to be older than jsr then that would be one thing. but she isn't! she's younger!!#which also means 1) jsr is old enough to have a younger sister who's 2) old enough to be the former emperor's concubine#(as of at least eight years ago since we know it's at least that long since he died) and#3) the mommy figure of the current emperor who is currently an adult but was not an adult eight years ago even though#4) jsr has got to only be in her 30s based on sun-mama saying she's been with her since birth 'over 30 years ago'#the show is clearly not thinking about any of this though. they're just like 'wouldn't it be fun if the emperor was a lil messed up'#the double#incest cw#to be safe#because in a sense she is akin to his stepmom#my posts#it is kinda funny tho that the emperor went ok im going to imprint on this older sexually experienced woman who was married previously#and xiao heng went oh shit that sounds fun. me too#f

i was a reading a bit more on purgatory and purgatorius ignis (cleansing fire), which is a concept that existed even before the notion that purgatory itself was a third other-world domain, similar to heaven and hell, when i suddenly remembered dante's la divina commedia and decided to revisit the story a little. and i found something interesting as i was scrolling through the wikipedia page.
so, purgatory is the second part of la divina commedia, following inferno, and is an allegory telling of the climb of dante up the mount of purgatory, guided by the roman poet virgil. alegorically, purgatorio represents the penitent christian life (and christianity, as we know, is one of the core themes of fontaine's archon quests that arlecchino was a part of). while describing the climb dante focuses a lot on the nature of sin, examples of vice and virtue, as well as moral issues in politics and in the church. what's interesting, though, is that the poem posits the theory that all sins arise from love ā either perverted love directed towards others' harm, or deficient love, or the disordered or excessive love of good things.
why is this interesting, you ask? let me add here a few quotes before i contextualise it:
"she is a god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her" - dainsleif about the cryo archon, the tsaritsa
"her royal highness the tsaritsa is actually a gentle soul. too gentle, in fact, and that's why she had to harden herself. likewise, she declared war against the whole world only because she dreams of peace. and because she made an enemy of the world, i now have a friend in you." - childe about the tsaritsa
"everyone praises her for her kindness and benevolence, but they forget that love is also a form of sin. what if she's just trying to compensate for something?" - wanderer about the tsaritsa
the tsaritsa, the cryo archon and the person arlecchino is devoted to, is theorised and hinted multiples times to be the god of love. yes, the love that is said to be the origin of sin in la divina commedia. we can also draw parallels between the idea of perverted love talked about in the poem and the relationship between arlecchino and others, for instance the kids of the house of the hearth.
arlecchino's drip marketing including an excerpt where the scene goes from a gentle warm environment, seemingly mistaken as a loving family home full of innocent looking children, that quickly shifts into a somber and dark atmosphere under her authority - the children answering instantly, without hesitation and completely obedient -, is the perfect illustration of the duality within her character. there's an obvious exploitative and manipulative system making use of the house of the hearth and the orphans under its roof, where arlecchino (as the one running the orphanage) is the provider and the kids are brought up to be dependable and further dispatched as fatui soldiers when "potential" is recognised. and we can deduce that there's ways that their education is done from a very young age so it prevents or punishes any sort of dissent, something not hard to imagine when we know from freminet that arlecchino doesn't like when the kids cry or show emotional vulnerability, something she sees as weakness, for example. but if there's this dark side to her, there's also certain attitudes that demonstrate her care for the children or even her care for the world around her. arlecchino helping freminet get closure on his mother's death, the reformation of the house of the hearth (which we know used to have a much more punishitive and strict leader before arlecchino took over) or even her devotion and deep respect towards the tsaritsa are some examples of the way she shows care for other people. now, we can theorise that these good deeds directed towards the orphans under her care are very much purposeful to better manipulate them, but i think that's exactly what the notion of perverted love in la divina commedia tries to hint at.
besides this concept, there's something else that peaked my interest in dante's poem. dante pictures purgatory as an island at the antipodes of jerusalem, pushed up, in an otherwise empty sea, by the displacement caused by the fall of satan, which left him fixed at the central point of the earth. it's a cone-shaped island that has seven terraces on which souls are cleansed from the seven deadly sins or capital vices as they ascend. at the summit is the garden of eden, from where the souls, cleansed of evil tendencies and made perfect, are taken to heaven.
as we know, arlecchino is being introduced in fontaine, her homeland, and the idea of purgatory as an island in the sea leading its way to heaven caused by the fall of a sinful being sort of reminded me of remuria. remuria was the civilization in fontaine which directly preceded the previous hydro archon egeria's rule. its downfall occurred as a result of remus' attempt to avert its predicted destruction, and in particular, by his act of sharing his power and authority ā reserved only for gods ā with the four human harmosts he appointed to govern his cities. remuria eventually ended up being sunken into the abyss, devouring everything including the people and remus himself. we know there's still a region in fontaine's map that wasn't yet released, so how odd would it be that the last part to be revealed in fontaine might just be the land that was once sunken? after the little note about the samsara cycles near the tower of the narzissenkreuz ordo, which referenced a cycle called remuria, i would not be surprised at all. it's also particularly funny that fontaine is directly below celestia. yes, the floating island in the sky above teyvat which is the residence of the gods, the same gods that made remuria fall. as the contemporary philosophers of our time have said, that's sus!!!
i don't want to get too ahead of myself because i don't have a theory about what's going to happen or what role arlecchino will play exactly but i don't think it would be shocking if we got to know more about remuria during her release. and still in the purgatory idea, i think the angel of death (azreal) might be an interesting parallel to make with arlecchino. azrael's role is seen as benevolent, transporting souls after death. it fits perfectly well with the idea of purgatorius ignis, that signifies transformation. in different cultural and religious contexts, fire can also symbolize destruction renewal and even rebirth so i'm very very curious to see what arlecchino's story will be like.
#this is a very long one and it's not really a theory but i wanted to drop my thoughts because why not š#this + the idea of teyvat being inside a globe (either a domain or in the sea of nihility connecting with hsr) or the upside down theory#where the gods are actually trying to prevent 'enlightment' or are the equivalent to a demon realm which makes sense with the archon's name#would also be cool if arle ended up being a figure sort of like the grim reaper you know?#slightly different from the angel of death but similar enough concepts. [LEAKS ALERT] she's said to have scythe so that'd be freaking fun!!#does this make sense? i hope so. this was a bit of a mess but i just needed to write it somewhere before i forgot#if anyone reads this thank you so much for taking the time and sorry if it was actually really boring :3#arlecchino#genshin impact#genshin thoughts

smth ive been thinking of.. do other countries also do the person shaped signs on the side of the road where accidents have happened that say "they also had someone waiting for them at home" (hungarian has one third person pronoun its gender neutral)
is this just us. im sure it isnt. it must be like a european thing? or is it also in america
edit: actually lemme do a poll why not. i love polls
#on a lighter note.. when i was a kid and i saw a sign like that for the first time i could read fast enough to know what it said#*couldnt#and my brain just kind of tried to fill it in#so instead of 'Åt is hazavĆ”rtĆ”k' i read 'Åt is hazavĆ”gtĆ”k'#which kinda just means 'they were also messed up'š its like slang for messing someone up or destroying/killing them#SO IT STILL MADE SENSE TO ME BUT IT WAS SO MUCH MORE VIOLENT THAN THE ACTUAL SIGN AJSKSKSK#irlshaped

#got to the part in happy happy where Porky/Pokey asks to be friends again#and it's messing with me Hard#So much of his behavior finally makes sense#his room in thunder tower in mother 3#He just wanted to be friends again#and when Ness responded with silence#which he probably did because of how porky had been treating him#porky took it as a rejection and then promptly went off the deep end#went down and down the spiral track until#well#whatever happens next. i'm still playing earthbound#i like to think his behavior in mother 3 is all to make things ārightā again in his mind#maybe he started messing with time travel because he wanted to find a timeline where ness forgave him#but over time#he realized that it wouldn't work. and then his goal shifted from āmake ness forgive meā#to āprevent anyone from having what i'm not allowed to haveā#ie: a healthy relationship#earthbound#this could be totally inaccurate but. just my thoughts after seeing that scene for the first time

The Evil Dead (1981)
"Why have you disturbed our sleep, awakened us from our ancient slumber? You will die! Like the others before you, one by one, we will take you."
#the evil dead#1981#horror imagery#eye horror#gore tw#sam raimi#bruce campbell#ellen sandweiss#betsy baker#richard demanincor#theresa tilly#tom sullivan#joseph loduca#rob tapert#ted raimi#american cinema#video nasty#evil deadology#horror film#thus spake the people. evil dead won my poll on which horror franchise to work through nextā and somehow this was the one that I'd not seen#a single second of; the entire trilogy (and various follow ups) passed me by. i still felt like i was coming into this knowing it beat for#beat because of the inevitable cultural osmosis you get when a film is this influential and this popular; i knew the plotā i knew Ashā i#knew what to expect. what i didn't expect was quite how good this was. received wisdom had it that this was the rough first indie film that#was followed by betterā more polished instalments but i have to sayā taken on its own meritsā this is a hell of an achievement#it's immediately apparent both that this isn't just another DIY splatter nasty made to cash inā and that right from the get go Raimi was a#highly creative and fiercely original talent. there's no reasonā if making a cheapy gore filmā for Raimi to be shooting from behind the#swinging pendulum of a grandfather clockā or to include genuinely sweet character moments like Ash and Linda playing a cute game of#avoiding glances whilst he gives her the pendant (and so wonderfully and so darkly inverted laterā as her demonic form plays the same game#whilst he digs her grave). seriously messed up fx in placesā very real sense of dreadā absolutely phenomenal sound design#sometimes the classics are classics for a reason. an absolute masterclass in indie shock horror and a massively fun time

THATS A CROCODILE. UM#the only rendition of feraligatr art that i like is the sprite art from gold silver and crystal.

I don't consider Ramattra difficult to draw, just very time consuming due to all the details.
... Excluding his ELBOWS, of all things.
Try extending your own arm and twisting your wrist and then entire arm. How in God's name do those kinds of motions (or in my case, poses) translate to a robot arm without a ball joint at the elbow???? I swear whenever I pose my arms to get a better idea on where the elbow itself points, which side of the hand has the the thumb, etc etc, then translate the information onto him, 99% of the time he ends up with dislocated elbows...
#Borb's Garbage Dump#Overwatch#Ramattra#there's a lot of weird jank going on with the robots in this game#like this guy visibly BREATHES#which on paper is cute but nonsensical with his design in practice besides the obvious robots don't need oxygen thing#you could easily make the excuse the black material between the ribs is flexible#but the ribs themselves are supposed to be ARMOR... sturdy and inflexible to protect āvital organsā#how the hell are those solid metal bars able to extend and contract to show breathing???#how are his legs attached to the pelvis when there's literally nothing but air between the pelvis and each leg???#listen i get it ow character designers and animators are not like#robotics engineers that create irl machinery so they can get away with cartoon physics#but trying to draw his arms accurately to the concept art/in-game model with all the lil bits and pieces being properly aligned...#... relative to each other WITHOUT straight up twisting hard metal or messing up his elbows is damn near impossible#and i tear my hair out every time i try to make sense of them#yeah his hands are also a nightmare but spoiler alert all hands are annoying#there's no bloody reason for something as unassuming as ARMS to be this difficult to deal with anatomically#can you tell i get frustrated whenever i have to pose his arms and am currently venting lmao

I don't even go here much anymore but I need somewhere to throw my thoughts re: Emilie (Genshin Impact)
Yes, a lot of people have been upset or disappointed that she looks less interesting mostly in comparison to the many leaked concept arts of her, and I've definitely seen a couple colour/other edits on her which looked amazing. For me, the hair colour throws me off a bit and I have some Choice Words about her top but the green of her dress is such a deeply satisfying shade of green that reminds me of velvet, and I enjoy how her outfit, alongside Neuvilette's description and other people's voicelines, paint what feels to be a deliberately curated picture of her.
While we can't know for sure what decisions were involved that resulted in them settling on the current official design, the perception on her is so unnecessarily dampened because of that potential "what could have been" that we weren't meant to see in the first place. If anything, looking at the variety of concept arts leaked, it's at least reassuring that the artists have that skill and freedom to depict a character in so many creative ways.
honestly I'm more interested in seeing how Emilie is as a character - most of other character's voicelines about her are in regards to her business than of her (with the exception of Chevreuse) and she's a "forensic cleaner"? ESPECIALLY since she's probably going to be involved with the Burning Artifact set???There are a lot more layers here I really wish to see more people explore here instead of, well, everything else going on. I'm sitting here imagining situations involving Emilie, Chiori and Chevreuse potentially on a case, or interactions between her and Lisa/Sucrose/Albedo as a chemist (and god forbid what happens when she's put together near the Pyro Folk)
I don't know if I'll pull for her (if I do, it'll be predominantly based on her kit) but I like seeing how artists depict a character once their design is drip marketed on Twitter and it's a bit annoying seeing that the media tab there is just predominantly people talking about the concept art instead
#mine#emilie#genshin impact#emilie genshin#look okay#my entire point of this really was just that#That Woman Knows How To Hide A Body#and casting aside any Yandere Depictions for the moment which people will no doubt eventually want to mess around with sooner or later#she knows you're glad she's on your side instead#I could be entirely wrong on the ball here but my first impressions is that she feels mysterious/evasive#in the sense that her skills as a chemist and making perfumes and knowing flowers etc help deliberately mask who she actually is#god I can imagine her being able to master a disguise with her expertise#she also could just be smug/popular and that's all but my point is her being mysterious/closed opens up so much more flavours of depictions#that I want to see in art or ao3 or etc#her and Ying'er would be great friends#I just want people to stop talking about Emilie (what could have been) and start talking about Emilie (what she could be)#she fels like a combination of Ying'er / Yae Miko / Lisa to me#but given how Chiori with her no-nonsense can work with her#I imagine she probably can switch on/off her Professional Persona well#okay bye#time to go back to my hiatus and mild not-so-shitposting art of Emilie that I wanted to see others explore
