Everytime ao3 is down I'm reminded of two things:

One is that humans have and always will love telling stories, and they will continue to do so even if there is no benefit to telling these stories, but simply because we love creating things

The other is that a concerning amount of people use fanfiction as a form of escapism and we should probably look into that

Whoever decided that shooting explosives into the sky was "fun" should just..... stop

Tell me more about my favorite ladyyyyyyyy Marilyn pleaseeeesee

Marilyn!!

Dr. Marilyn Celeste, the resident medical professional in the town of Calico .

Do not be fooled though, she does not a brain cell either despite having a medical degree.

Marilyn first got into medicine because she's intersex and living in the Victorian era so there's like no information about what's going on and certainly even less that she would have access to.

So she thought that since she can pass fairly well as a man she might as well try going to medical school as one to avoid suspicion/ just have an easier time, and Maybe find more information there or do her own research.

She didn't find any answers, but she Did find a genuine love of medicine! Marilyn is really good at her job she just sometimes gets really excited about something and (in true Victorian doctor fashion) losses and sense of ethics.

Eventually she meets Virgil and they probably bond over gender shenanigans or something, she helps him with his medical stuff, he gets used as her guinea pig. Ya know the usual.

At some point Marilyn helps this one lady (a character I am still very much working on) kill her horrible husband and later ends up marrying that lady.

I have yet to figure out why she went west or where she came from, I am open to ideas.

I think Marilyn...... should get married

Don’t talk to me about the comparison between season 1 and the last episode of the Penumbra Podcast.

I’m unwell.

I can't find a good ribbon/string to lace up the corset I'm working on so I've decided to weave one

[thelavenderinkcap]

Instead of using the term partners or something like that I think Virgil and Jerry would call each other their "quip"

Ok for context I wrote this laying in bed with a migraine, feeling vaguely nauseous, and waiting for my mom to come home with ice cream

Wouldn't it be nice to exist as a fungus, to be an unknowable being, traveling blindly through the dirt in many directions at once, existing as something so powerful and mysterious, and yet a large majority of creatures don't even realize you exist, then suddenly one day you decide to be seen, are you safe, poisonous, just wanting to mess with the brains and body's of other living things, who knows, but just as quickly you're gone, you're back to traveling the dirt, unseen and unknown

A bug went in my ear, I got it out but I'm upset

[thelavenderinkcap]

ok cheers to @ephemeralgalaxies for bringing this HEARTBREAKING FUCKING PIECE OF INFORMATION TO MY ATTENTION.

HOLD THE FUCK UP.

HE'S TRYING TO TEAR A SHOCK NET. WITH HIS BARE FUCKING HANDS. BECAUSE HE CAN'T LOSE JUNO. HE CAN'T.

HE'S IN PAIN. HE'S GETTING SHOCKED TOO. REMEMBER THE PAIN JUNO DESCRIBED WHEN HE GOT SHOCKED? STRONG ENOUGH TO KNOCK HIM OUT, TO CUT THE RUBY IN HALF?

THAT'S WHAT NUREYEV IS TOUCHING. THAT'S WHAT HE'S FUCKING GRABBING WITH HIS BARE HANDS.

AND HE'S IN PAIN. BUT HE KEEPS PULLING.

HE KEEPS PULLING.

HE KEEPS PULLING.

AND HE DOESN'T LET GO UNTIL JUNO TELLS HIM TO.

Repressing your emotions is not fun and it can be a very difficult habit to break, however practically being kicked out at 17 is making me very glad I have that skill at the moment 🫠

[thelavenderinkcap]

it's Easter so I keep seeing posts mentioning Peter and the tomb and nearly every time, I fall for it thinking it's a Juno Steel post and try to understand what part of s1 is being referenced there, save me
