Oh no now I have Golden Mercy stuff stuck in my head

Well… idk if I’ve shared this before but this song is kind of the theme for the story because the entire album is heavily influencing my writing

#good ganondorf #if only I could parse out a plot #Like I have a general overview but #Ugh idk #I love the idea of this story but pulling it off is another matter #I struggle a TON with breath of the sky which is frustrating #And I don’t want to start a WIP that’s gonna attract a bit of attention and then just leave it for months

i love anthologies. anthologies are so sexy

#in an alternate world where im an english lit major the norton anthology of english lit is my bible #it's by no means an exhaustive overview but i really love how everything is in its neat timeline #and you get a general vibe for how literature was back then as opposed to just going in blind. u see how everything influences everything #a major (maybe a bit irrational?) fear i have is i come out of a book w superficial understanding #and while that has contributed to unfortunate reading slumps i do also like this trait of me #where i am actually focused on giving a book/period of time the respect it deserves vs just reading it flippantly #i like doing my silly little pre-read of a period of time/author before jumping into it #i don't do pre-reads for everything but there are books where i find it necessary to prime my brain for absorbing them #and anthologies are good for that #and they're also a good resource for investigating authors whose vibe sits right w u. #or for knowing the general quaintessential authors of a certain genre of lit #i also love poetry anthologies #the commentary comparing/contrasting certain authors is also rly interesting to me . ok i'll shut up now #p

thank fuck i don't have a job because i don't have any fucking idea how my mum would have been cared for during the last four months

#''nurses over everyday?'' you'd be surprised by how much this isnt how the medical system works #so i think in the timeline where i have a job my mum would've been hospital bound instead. gosh #everybody in our life keeps being surprised that nurses dont come over everyday. like no they don't do that #its me its 99& me you guys. the nurses come twice a week for medical equipment reasons and a general overview #anyways we wouldn't want medical people every single day anyways that'd be annoying and tiring #the way things are is annoying and tiring too but for different reasons. its not in a The Social Drain Of Having Visitors Every Single Day #like can you imagine? ugh

I love reading the studies on potential existence beyond or outside of the body. I hate how much some of those books drone on before getting to the point.

#rant #1 hit me up if you want book names #2 i read one about research on existence after death. but a philosopher wrote it :/ #so despite mentionung studies he just ranted about his philosphical proof. which fine... convince another philosopher i guess :/ #but as a philosophical arguement i found it Annoying and not as useful to me the reader as a #more scientist structured discussion of the research would have been. #meanwhile theres some great books featuring equations. so Mathematical proofs for a concious universe #but 1 book spends 400 pages on experiments (cool but i wouldve liked math FIRST) then 100 pages of math and explanation #another book has math only and its 90 pages and probably my favorite theory on how the universe works #then theres an overview of experiements book. in soviet union #but its from an american tourist writer :/ so at least 60% of the text is stupid tourist Description bullshit #i dont want an Exagerated journal of adventures bitch. i want to hear what the research and outcomes and equations and evidence is!!!! #and youtube lectures? a lot of good ones on ted talks and some university youtube lectures #but theyre for general audiences so they often avoid mentioning the math (since the audience wouldnt necessarily Get the mathematical theory #) which annoys me because I WANT TO SEE THEIR MATHEMATICAL THEORY #i want them to SPECIFY WHICH OF THE BOOKS THEY WROTE IS MATHEMATICAL OR PHYSICS HEAVY IN DESCRIBING THIS STUFF #i can read physics. let me!!!! let me look at ur fucking theory so i can form a better opinion on it!!!

I would love to know more about Megatron adopting Unicron it sounds like shenanigans waiting to happen.

Heck yeah! :D

Warning: some of this, be it character development or worldbuilding, won't make sense because timelines 5 and 6 haven't come to fruition yet. Bear with me, ok?

So, a bit of quick backstory: the 11 Acolytes of Cybertron (chosen ones of the gods, each responsible for tending one of the temples dedicated to the Primes), the Saint (an elected Acolyte recognized by the entire pantheon and all the other Acolytes as a pure-sparked servant of the gods who has done an immeasurable amount of good for Cybertron), and Alpha Trion went on a venture to deal with Unicron before he rose (according to the prophecy) and killed him to preserve the future. This really didn't sit well with the Saint, as the Covenant says that all lives are precious regardless of their origin

Soon after returning to Cybertron, Saint Megatronus (yes he's the saint, no I'm not sorry. It makes sense in this timeline I promise) wakes in the middle of the night with his spark racing and full of adrenaline. He's only ever felt like this once before; he knows someone needs help. He runs out into the middle of the night, instinct driving him.

On the other side, Unicron's reincarnation has just been born, and there's something very Off about him. His creators take one look at him and are so repulsed by their newborn son that they cast him out. They dump him into the Rust Sea, intent to let the corrosive gas and liquid eat him alive, melt him down into nothingness.

Megatronus fishes him out, and the poor thing is a mess; plating warped and covered in burns, holes in his outer plating and on his face, little optics stuck shut. The infant is less than a couple megacycles old, and can do nothing but cry helplessly. His sparkpulse is frightfully weak and Megatronus has no medical supplies on hand; if the poor thing doesn't get medical attention asap, he'll surely perish.

He rushes the little one to the best medic he knows: Panacea, Acolyte of Alchemist Prime. As he's being worked on the acid finally eats through the sparkling’s plating and he begins to sluggishly bleed. His blood isn't blue tho, it's undeniably a rich purple. As are his optics when he manages to open them. His energon burns his caretakers when it touches them, causing their mesh to pop and sizzle, paint beginning to peel. They were both present when Unicron was snuffed, so it doesn't take long for them to figure it out.

Deep down, they already know what's about to happen.

He's just a baby. An innocent newborn who has already been punished so terribly in his short, short life. They can't just... they can't just abandon him. If this really is the second Unicron, precautions will have to be taken, but Megatronus can't just leave a newborn infant to be abused and killed. It's unthinkable. Killing Unicron back then felt so very wrong, and he swears to never think of it as a good thing. But he's been given a chance to atone for what he did; this sparkling is helpless and all alone, he needs someone to take care of him

He takes the sparkling home with him, swearing to treat him with all the love he does his other children. He hides the baby away and raises him in secret. It feels cruel, but he knows the people of Cybertron would be far crueller. If word ever got out that the Chaos Bringer, God of Destruction, the anti-spark himself, had been reborn, people would call for his head. He'd be harrassed and followed and hated his entire life, and Megatronus wants to spare him from that. He really is a cute baby, and seems no different from any other sparkling. There's no guarantee he won't grow up to be another destructive god, but Megatronus promises to make this second chance count.

#there's a general overview!! i hope you enjoyed #unicron reborn au #i have so many fun ideas for this #like home life for the little one. family dynamics. the day he inevitably learns who he is/was #send me more asks about this pwease 👉👈 #hindsight au #technically

I got tagged by @vogelmeister to put my playlist on shuffle and list the first 10 songs and I can do that while studying! (hopefully)

Death by a Thousand Cuts - Live from Paris by Taylor Swift (It feels appropriate to start with this ngl)

Hello Goodbye by The Beatles (A bit of a whiplash after the previous tbh)

Blank Space by Taylor Swift (Can't believe I got Taylor Swift twice already, that is not statistically accurate)

Tout l'Universe by Gjon's Tears (Forgot this song was in my playlist)

Bring on the Monsters from The Lightning Thief Musical (heck yeah! BRING ON THE MONSTERS BRING ON THE MONSTERS BRING ON THE REAL WORLD)

It's Quiet Uptown from Hamilton (a way to ruin the mood)

Show Yourself from Frozen II (I was obsessed with this song in early 2020)

Highway to Hell by AC/DC (ehmm that's another mood change)

Okay by this point I had been reshuffling too much (see the tags) to call this a genuine shuffle, because like at what point is it Spotify's algorithm fucking with me and at what point is it my own disbelief in the chance of getting 3 musical songs in a row, so I'm redoing it with a random number generator and no reshuffling any more:

More Than a Feeling by Boston (this was in the Inside Out trailer and I loved the song so much back then)

Waving Through a Window from Dear Evan Hansen (I know, but it's a good song)

Arcade by Duncan Laurence (we actually won Eurovision with this, unbelievable)

Defying Gravity from Wicked (forever sad I can't sing this + that I didn't see Wicked when it played here) (also fun fact the random number generator picked this one twice but I felt it was fair to reshuffle that, as we're looking for 10 songs)

Dream by Imagine Dragons (the story of how I found this song is kinda embarrassing so not gonna share that here, I like the song though)

Ålderdomshemmet by Miss Li (Swedish!!! And I like Miss Li, this song is cute)

Alla gör slut by Felicia Takman (More Swedish? More likely than I thought)

10 Years by Daði Freyr (This was robbed at Eurovision 2021)

First Burn, a different version of Burn from Hamilton (I was OBSESSED when this came out and it is still really good)

The Schuyler Sisters from Hamilton (ANGELICAAA Peggy ELIIIIZA!)

Not tagging anyone because I'm burned out from my rage at Spotify, but feel free to do this and say I tagged you

#tag game #music #about me #the truth: number 4 was another taylor swift song but I went like: nope and first played a few songs from another playlist before reshuffli #like there needs to remain space for other songs #after that I decided to reshuffle for every song #this does mean I removed Arcade because that was originally coming up after tout l'universe but like that was only proof to me #that the shuffle sucks because 2 eurovision songs in a row? #I hate that there's no K3 here >:[ #y'know I will do it again with a random number generator #than I know it is not influenced by an algorithm #still no K3 I got a K3 song at the 17th number #could have been a number earlier because that was a song in the middle of 10 K3 songs but the random number generator picked exactly #the one non K3 song there #do I think this is a good overview of my taste? No but it isn't glaringly being influenced by an algorithm so it's better

Tell us about your novel

So at least at the moment, the working title is "Whispered Silence". The title should hopefully apply to both the cold case murder mystery and to the slow-burn romance subplot. I made this little logo thing for it, to help set the vibes because if I am anything apparently, it is an aesthetic bitch

More under the cut because I have gone on into.... a fair amount of detail

I mentioned in the tags of the post mentioning that I have this project, it's an occult small town murder mystery. So it's set in a world that's very very similar to ours, with the exception that magic is very much real (and I've recently sort of finalized how the magic system works and am now figuring out all the little details for spells I want to be using in the novel). Magic is a force that everyone has the ability to use, but not everyone chooses to apply themselves to the study of it- so many people can do magic without even knowing it (although this magic would be simple small/weak spells). Magic is a learned skill, and no two practitioners will do the same kind of spell the same way, which allows for strong regional variations and variations in how these spells will manifest. Magic also has strong limitations based on real world occult theory that allows for the murder mystery plot to not just be as simple as "oh let's do some divination and ask the universe who the murderer is" because.... that's just boring and also the murder wouldn't be unsolved if that was possible lol. Ghosts and spirits are also very much real in this universe (much like they are in ours) and the two victims of our "villain" will be haunting the novel in several ways throughout the course of the narrative.

It takes place in the fictional small town of Pierce Point, Maine which is both a historic tourist town and a fishing town. The historic district of the town (as is the case with most historic districts) is where the more affluent of town live. Class is definitely a huge factor in the novel, and part of the novel will be exploring the ineptitude of the police when it comes to murder particularly when class (and gender) is factored into the crime. Part of why I'm so invested in sort of exploring the ways in which small town police routinely fail victims and their families in this novel is because my family has had an unsolved murder that was ignored by police despite obvious signs of foul play, so I'm unfortunately quite familiar with the reality of this kind of situation and how it effects families.

Our murderess is a rich elderly white woman named Margaret "Molly" Clarke and the goal with her is to make her nuanced and give her understandable motives that will make readers think of their moms, grandmothers, and great grandmothers…and her narrative really sort of explores themes of generational trauma and of the ways in which women have to change themselves in order to successfully navigate the patriarchy and how class intersects with this. I'm sort of drawing inspiration from a bunch of different historical women who navigated the white upper-class world while also bringing in the more small town politics energy that I'm used to to bring her character to life. And I'm hoping that despite telling you she's the murderess, that when it's read you won't really see it coming.

Much like any good fantasy/occult novel there are mentor figures- in this project our mentor figures are an elderly gay couple named Aiken and Joshua who have been together for decades. They're also upper-class and influential in the town but have a very different outlook that Margaret and a more precarious social standing. Aiken and Joshua have a very interesting role as far as the actual unraveling of the mystery goes and I don't want to spoil anything. But I'm also doing a lot of research for them, looking at queer archives and oral history projects to make sure I'm getting their voices as accurate as I can. They're some of my favorite characters in the project and definitely some of the most complex (they've also been a fan favorite since I first imagine the project 3 years ago now and everyone I talk to about them loves them).

The main four characters who actually go about solving the mystery are young professionals in their mid-twenties all of whom are bisexual disasters (affectionate).

Serfina is from a small town in West Virginia and is a recent transplant to Pierce Point when the novel begins. She becomes close friends with Hank and June (who grew up in Pierce Point and have been best friends since first grade), and Sammy who grew up in Portland, ME but met Hank in college and moved to Pierce Point for work. Sammy and June work at the same company, while Serfina and Hank work at the local museum with Molly as their boss.

Together the four of them, largely in an attempt to bring Hank some closure, start to look into the unsolved death of Hank's father some twenty years prior. Of the four of them, Serfina is the only one who's ever studied magic, but her magic is hyper-regional to Appalachia and not at all the kind that would lend itself to a murder investigation, and the other three don't understand magic and it's very much got like Scooby-gang energy with lots of red-herrings and shenanigans, and general 20-somethings stupidity.

There's obviously a lot of details I'm leaving out, and a lot of things I haven't fully fleshed out yet. But this is the gist of it.

Thanks for asking!

#keep accidentally typing 'mudery' when I go to type murder mystery lmao #but yeah this is the gist of it #I have like all of the relevant background info solidified and a few character interactions planned out #but like as far as the novel itself I don't even know how to start it let alone like how the plot is going to transpire despite having a #general overview #but yeah! this is whispered silence #or at least a fair bit of what I have of it so far!

i would literally Pay Someone to create an organized tagging system for this blog

#it has to be both comprehensive and simple. ease of use is PARAMOUNT or i will just forget to do it #also want to make a blog that’s like. just an archive of my (and other ppls) Good theories and meta. and have like. posts linking to my #Greatest Hits and Must Reads and stuff like that #as well as like. little overviews of my general theories. #i want this so bad. i want to be organized so fucking bad. i dream of organization i wish i was fucking neat

[midwesternorcprincess]

can finally relax for a minute (not long) and am comfy enough in bed to rub my legs together like a happy little cricket (why is this the human comfy response), gonna look at my weird remote locations on Google earth until I fall asleep

#i am saving them all up #maybe i will post my fav gems someday #i think i know more than most about geography #like a LOT more #and have a solid general overview of the regions of earth and what their deal is #but i am finding new places all the time i didn't know shit about #personal

Nearly at the end of bayonetta and honestly whoever green lit that missile/Jeanne final fight chapter -

#Like I'd seen all the boss fights and the general plot overview and the lore and of course the hitless stuff #That did not prepare me for the 1:30 hour SLOG without a save point that was that chapter ToT #Like I'd just come from the barge angel boss fight man give me a break 😭 #And I had to fight that stupid spinning four fingers guy again. HATE HIM. HATE HATE HATE. #And I died sooooo many times to Jeanne too which fair enough!!! #But I was so wired and tired even before we got to the fight because of the STUPID long missile sequence!! #Literally half that time would have got the message across. Why did it need to last that long?????? Ten minutes straight?? #Never mind how many times I died there at had to restart the whole thing :') #If I quit at Jeanne I'd have to do that again. No thank you!!!!!!! #Literally had to pause the game put the controller down and lie down mid fight I was sick of it #My fingers were genuinely sore q-q #There's a very small sweet spot where the slog repays in triumph and relief and then past that you're just glad it's over #That chapter passed that point somewhere back in the first missile phase FOR REAL #And to make things worse I'd used up all my healing items in the missile phase so I had to do the ENTIRETY of Jeanne ITEMLESS #It would have gone better if I'd ever been able to really practice my combos. I wish you could go into that loading area at will #The technique try zone doesn't count because it doesn't have that list along the side and the book you have to memorise and hope you know #When you do it right #Lmao the game loads too fast now!! #Anyway that was absolutely awful. You can really tell that game came out so long ago it would not have flown now #In fact I can't think of many games that still use stuff like save points it's all just save in settings and autosave areas #Definitely one progression for the better XD #Outside of awful chapter lengths I'm having a FANTASTIC time I'm definitely going to replay many other chapters #bayonetta #Bayonetta chapter

all the memes about the grimace shake are NOT over exaggerating this is just how it felt. i can still feel the hole it left in my stomach

#genuinely sort of tasted like acid and not the drug kind . car battery type beat #now. is this is a general overview of how it tastes?? i have no fucking idea #i got the shake from the shadiest mcdonalds this side of town so for all i know they couldve put car acid in there. my fault
