Rambles about Lucas Sinclair 😔

Tw: Racism mention

Recently I heard from my Professor about a discourse going on Twitter about a PhD thesis titled "Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose" by Amelia Louks, a Cambridge scholar.

To be simple, the thesis is about olfactory oppression. To quote "Olfactory oppression itself is a form of discrimination based on body odour, or smell of an individual".It is also expanded to oppressed communities at large, of course.

So, anyway, I'm not at all well versed in this topic, and I could be wrong. I don't know but it just reminded me of…

Okay, that is in Stranger Things season 2, Mike, Max and Lucas looks for Dart in the dumpster, and it is Lucas who gets into the dumpster and actually looks for him where the other characters stand outside, ready to attack if Lucas finds him.

So, right after Lucas jumps out of the dumpster, Max comments "you stink" and goes to the opposite side and stands near Dustin. I just thought, Why Lucas? Why not Max? Considering Max would have probably winced at the thought of getting into the dumpster, we have Mike, who previously had shown a lot more enthusiasm about finding Dart. So why not him? Maybe Mike bickered, leading Lucas to get into the dumpster, or simply it could have also been Lucas who agreed to do this first.

Moving on, later in the episode we have Lumax arguing about Max being treated poorly by the boys. So when Max leaves she comments “you still stink by the way” again. (Lucas smells his clothes afterwards), Which follows with Billy's Racist remarks; first he glares at Lucas as he walks away. Second, he questions Max about what she was doing with him and why she looks upset, then he continues.. by saying, and I quote, “There are certain types of people in this world that you stay away from, that kid Max… that Kid is one of them, Stay away from him you hear me? Stay away.”

What made me write this was how right after Max comments “you still stink btw”(which can be looked as an implied Racist remark), The next scene cuts to Billy throwing explicit Racist remarks at Lucas.

I'm not at all implying Max is a Racist Just thinking maybe it was intentional. Intentional by the writers, not saying max was being Intentional. Also, I didn't read the thesis entirely, only the Abstract, and I think it is mostly to do with Body Odour and Individual smells rather than someone stinking because they jumped into the dumpster. Just thought this was Interesting and I know this is a very sensitive topic. I feel like I'm just rambling at this point. Love Lucas Sinclair sooooo much(mwah mwah).

Someone telling you they’re going to call you with news around mid morning and then it being the afternoon and you still haven’t received the call should be considered psychological warfare

[wishfulsketching]

it has only now clicked in my head that my facial features are somewhat similar to Silco's. I feel a *little* better about my weak chin, thank you. It's been a reaaally rough spot for my self-esteem

Looking like "you" will always be more attractive than being ""conventionally attractive"", in my opinion.

I have a fucked up eye (in a boring way, tho. Just a mild case of "lazy eye" that still makes me super super insecure) and lemme tell ya, Silco being the King of Fucked Up Eye is making me happy~

I looove love Silco's whole mouth/chin situation, I am obsessed. You sharing those features mean you absolutely have your fans

[polarmoon]

i wrote up some of my opinions on the rereleases but it was quite long so im leaving it in the drafts but as a summary:

we as a community should want accessibility, and we should not be tearing down people who do not have the time/digital literacy/ability to set up abandonware video games and are excited to have a chance to play them. but also EA is evil and very frequently incompetent so we should also not be putting our faith in the hands of the multi billion dollar corporation who do not care about us or the fun we have to handle these titles with care

At the risk of setting off a bomb in the Aaravos and Leola fandoms, I do wonder if we ever talk about how--if Aaravos's description of his daughter is accurate--she would probably hate what he's become in her absence.

Ivy was sure that if heaven existed, this is what it would be.

The small campfire that Henry had built crackled in front of them. They were both far away from any sort of civilization, with nothing but trees and mountains surrounding them.

From this spot, Ivy could even see the Milky Way, since the light pollution that normally clouded it from sight was gone. It was gorgeous, and they could never get tired of the view.

Ivy pulls the fleece blanket wrapped around their shoulders closer, the cold mountain air biting against their skin. They’re grateful that Henry has an arm wrapped around you, as he always seemed to radiate warmth.

Henry had suggested getting out of town for a few days. Ride up to the mountains on your houses and camp out under the stars. Ivy had happily agreed, packing up the necessities and the horses to head out on his favorite trail and camping spot.

“It's so quiet out here,” Ivy murmurs, turning to rest their chin on Henry's shoulder, studying his features like it's the first time they’d seen him.

“It will not be for long if you keep looking at me like that,” he replies, giving Ivy a boyish grin. They push away from him and gently smack him on the shoulder, causing a soft laugh to rise from his frame.

Ivy shakes their head in disappointment and huffs before assuming their previous position. “I saw a raccoon on our way up here. I think they’d be cute to have as a pet.”

Henry stiffens and looks over at his wife. “A raccoon,” he repeats. “You want a raccoon as a pet?”

Ivy shrugs. “Probably not, but it’s cute in theory. Plus, I think it’s illegal to own one here anyway.”

Henry relaxes at that, now understanding that this was simply one of the many random thoughts they voiced to him daily. He had become used to them over the 3 years they’d been together, though some of them still gave him pause.

They sit together in silence again, watching the fire crackle and the smoke rise. As Henry begins to feel Ivy leaning more heavily into him, he speaks up again.

“You are getting tired, aren’t you,” he observes, and at his words Ivy buries their face into the crook of his neck.

“No,” they lie, as the yawn that immediately follows gives them away. Henry can’t help but smile and goes to place a kiss to the top of their head. Ivy makes a small noise at the gesture and tries to bury their face deeper into Henry’s shirt.

They slowly pull their head up to face him, and Henry can just barely notice tears pricking the corner of Ivy’s eyes. Though their eyes tended to water and the smoke from the fire had made it more prominent, he could tell that these were tears from genuine emotion. He’s startled, as just a second ago they were making jokes and seemed to be in a good mood.

Ivy doesn’t give him a chance to ask what’s wrong. “I don’t know how I got so lucky to have you,” they confess, and Henry can’t help but soften as he listens.

“Ivy…” he begins but trails off as they hurriedly scramble onto his lap, clinging to him even more tightly. He wraps his arms around them instinctively and turns downward to place a kiss to the top of their head.

“I just love you a lot,” they whisper against the flannel of his shirt. Henry can’t help but allow himself another small kiss against Ivy’s hair before coaxing their face up from where they had burrowed into the crook of his shoulder.

He cradles their face with his free hand, feeling how the Wyoming wind had made Ivy’s cheek cold to the touch. They look at him with wet and wide eyes, though a small smile still graces their lips.

“I love you, too,” Henry reassures them, before placing a kiss on their forehead. Ivy snuggles back into him, this time their face buried in his chest.

The wind picks up once more, blowing smoke in Henry’s direction. It makes his eyes sting and water, so he buries his face in Ivy’s hair, breathing in the fading scent of their shampoo.

Obligatory RP Blog intro post

(Warning: Contains Spoilers for the end of 2.1 and 2.2 and was initially created before 2.2)

———

Making a drink is a sensory skill. In dreams, creating fizzy concoctions requires adding a bit of your mood. Heavier if you're troubled, a touch sweeter if you're in high spirits... It's not just about mixing beverages. It's about mixing the experiences of life.

Gallagher's the name, I'm one of the local "Hounds" around here. Step into Penacony, the Land of Dreams, Nameless one.

Tired? Just find a place to sit and rest for a while. Let’s have a talk and I’ll mix something up for you.

But a few words of advice…

Don’t get lost in dreams, and not everything’s as it seems.

Guidelines, Key, Tags and Notes from the mod:

Guidelines:

-Fellow RP Blogs are allowed, uh hiii Star Rail RP community

-This is my first RP Blog after like a year or so (previous ones just died) so I may be rusty so apologies for that -Using tonetags would be appreciated, not required but appreciated, especially if you say something that could come off as rude but you don’t mean it in that tone, the mod can’t read tone through text.

-SFW only please, Suggestive themes are allowed with a warning however

-Gore’s on the table though, but only if the meme gets involved, or you somehow get a good reason for it, I don’t think Gallagher would just maul you out of nowhere- However since this takes place in the dreamscape blood will be described as water and that’s all that’s gonna spill out-

-Shipping is allowed, I’ll allow any ship unless it’s pr*ship or with Sunday, with the former it’s obvious on why I wouldn’t, gross. You’ll get hit on the offense side of Gallagher’s Ultimate if you try that.

But on Galladay it’s simply cause I’m just not super comfortable with Gallagher x Sunday-

But yeah, as long as you’re follow the shipping rules the sky’s the limit, especially since I see Gallagher as bi

-Mod uses the CDT Timezone and is in education, but otherwise doesn’t have a life, and also has adhd with rapid changing hyperfixations so answer times can range from a minute to over a week

-Anything related to, but not limited to, racism, homophobia/transphobia, sexism, ableism, etc. Is not allowed here.

I’m serious if you come into the askbox with that you’ll get the “Dog” after you:

-Anons are welcome, you can even have a custom tag if you use a sign off and show up enough

-Magic Anons are allowed however only one can be active at a time and they have a 2-5 ask cooldown depending on what the effects where

-You can technically also ask the Meme on this blog, but don’t expect it to say anything other then *STABS YOU STABS YOU STABS YOU STABS YO

Key:

“ “ (Just plain text): Dialogue

“ “ (Same as above but in bold)/“ “ (Purple bold text): (what’s used is dependent on what’s exactly being said) Dialogue where Gallagher puts on his Reaper Robe

(The text for that was originally red however I changed it to purple for two reasons: Reason one being in the lore Acheron uses Red text sometimes and I think it’d be weird if I interacted with an Acheron and she also used red text,

and I changed it to purple specifically cause it matches Sleepie)

“* *” (Asterisks around text): Action/Movement

“// //“ (Two slashes around text): OOC/Mod talking

-This will include headcanons, if it wasn’t obvious from the “I see Gally as Bi” comment

-It could possibly get OOC at times while I’m in character, I made the blog before 2.2, but I’m trying to stick to the character as well as I can, and if 2.2 changes his character again I’ll attempt to pull something to fit with that

-Mod will refer to himself ether as “The Mod” or “Mod Werewolf”

[bi-writes]

there’s always a period of anxiousness whenever i post something new

[skyheld]

anxiety brain is how i used to think if i sent positivity to someone and they didn't respond as soon as they were online, that had to mean they Secretly Hated Me and if i ever got a response it would be a strong worded message about why they didn't want that positivity from me and i was a bad person for sending it

on the other hand if i did anything else online before responding to positivity obviously that was very rude very wrong positivity instantly revoked

and then i found out some of you just like to hoard it in your inboxes and i was like oh. that makes sense too i guess
