"I had to see if you were worthy of my time," Gortash says, dark eyes piercing hers. "You are definitely worthy. You counted how much I've given you… A worthy investment indeed." (x)

J or K or V. or you know all 3 if you're feeling up to it please and thank you

I was going to answer all three of these, but I think I'm about to do enough damage with the one question.

K. What is the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?

Before TGM came out, I wrote this, which is a document titled TG2 heartbreak rewrite. I think this was after the first TGM trailer came out with the meeting with Cain (but before we knew who Cain was), and before we had proof of life for Ice. Obviously there is an angst warning here.

Ice is waiting for him outside the admiral's office. He's in his flight suit, as usual, looking trim and tan and beautiful.

"That went well," he says.

Maverick scrubs a hand over his face. "If I'm too old to get chewed out by the brass, I'm too old, period."

He walks down the sidewalk, and Ice falls in step beside him. "He's not wrong," Ice says. "You deserve a promotion."

"Shut up, Commander."

Ice's expression darkens, and Maverick feels a stab of pain to the chest, which he should have expected. Too low a blow. He lowers his head and walks quickly to his bike, weaving in and out through the people crowding the walk.

"Look, man, I'm sorry," he says, but when he looks up, Ice is gone.

*

Maverick's therapist: "Have you and Ice been spending a lot of time together?"

He shrugs. "The usual."

"Pete…"

"It's fine. It's fine."

"I'm not here to play couple's therapist to you and Ice. I want you to say it."

Maverick felt himself flush, and he felt himself get cold at the same time. "No. I don't want to."

"Pete. We've talked about this."

"I like it when he's around, okay? It's not—"

"Pete. Please."

He tried to ignore the way his chest tightened, the way his hands shook. "Iceman Kazansky is dead. He died June 27, 1993. His plane was shot down over Baghdad, and there were no survivors."

His therapist is saying something now. Maverick can't hear her over his own pulse. He can't hear her over a twenty-six-year-old phone call, Ice's sister speaking between sobs, "Tommy's dead, Maverick. I'm so sorry. I know how much—I know how much you loved him. How much he loved you. I'm so sorry."

"I'm cursed," Maverick says abruptly, cutting off whatever his therapist is saying.

"There's no such thing as curses, Pete. You're not cursed."

"Everyone I've ever loved has died. I'm radioactive. There's something poisonous about me—"

"Pete," she says evenly, "Ice's death is not your fault. Goose's death is not your fault. Your parents' deaths are not your fault."

"So what?" he says. "It's some kind of divine punishment? I—"

"It's nothing but bad luck, Pete. Soldiers die in wars. People get sick. It's just how the world works." She's quiet a moment, looking at him. Finally, "I think we should talk about medication again."

He laughs, but it's a sharp noise. "I gotta go, Doc."

"Pete—"

"I gotta go. You stop moving for too long, that's when they get you."

***

Maverick knows he's not crazy, but he also knows that crazy is relative. Most of what goes on in a war zone would be crazy anywhere else. It's just a matter of circumstance.

@supernotfunny not yet. Its not out until Friday. But the Patrick Show part of the Tidal Zone special (Shrinking Stars) leaked online along with the episode Fitz Patrick. I have them but I only watched Fitz Patrick because I'd rather wait until the Tidal Zone comes out to watch Shrinking Stars.

Still, its right there in front of me. I have it and its hard not to peak at it but I really want to waaait😭 its just 1 part of the special. I imagine all the episodes that make up the tidal zone are loosely connected with each other so it wouldn't make sense just to watch 1. Peeling off my face rn.

Menelaus rambles a lot about not only Helen, but also Hermione. About how she used to say Olive like "Olifs". How she lost her first tooth running too fast and running into a low branch while out with Helen. How he'd sometimes wake up to Hermione leaning over him and poking his face to say, "Dad, can we go see the horses?" even though it was barely daylight. How she was much nicer waking Helen and how he thinks Hermione did that on purpose because she found "dad's face funny". How her favorite color was every color.

And Odysseus listens.

And he thinks about how his son only had a few teeth coming in when he left, teething on everything. How he could only say one syllable with his babbles. How his son needed balance to stand but Odysseus was so proud that Telemachus was very good at rolling over. How his son loved pulling at his and Penelope's hair.

How his son would be talking, walking, maybe even lost his first tooth by now. And he doesn't even know if he'll ever know his son's favorite color.

#Hi get sad with me :D #Odysseus and Menelaus are the Bros™ to me. I love them. Both simps who love their family despite being different in personalities #You cannot tell me they didn't talk about this and how this was painful for both of them :')#To make myself feel better. I like the thought of Athena kind of keeping him up to date :'D as he's her pet you know?#okay so this next bit ain't angst but imagine Hermione just coming in staring in the dark with the classic:#“Mom. Dad. I frew up🥺”#scaring the shit outta both her poor parents. Yeah I know she had nurses with her most likely but it's cute and fun!!!#I'm sorry but that's so fucking funny to me. I think every Parent has experienced that I'm pretty sure.#odysseus #menelaus #tagamemnon #greek mythology #this'll probably flop but oh well xD My homies can get sad with me >:)#odyssey #the odyssey #telemachus #hermione #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #helen of sparta #penelope #odypen

Hello hello everybody! It is time for another months progress, and I am so excited to share with you, all the things I have gotten my grimy little gremlin hands on. First off, what we are all here for; writing. I have been on fire, to be honest! Last month I churned through the last of the first batch of erotica stories (there's 6 (!!!) of them on my patreon already) and set them up for publishing along with two more unseen ones- I'm still going over the logistics of where to publish for the best revenue (I know this sounds boring, but I have to make an income somehow, and hopefully find another audience as a smut writer on other platforms 💀 I love writing it so why not!), and I am making headway, learning the ins and outs of self publishing. On patreon, there are also two Q&A's that are written in a bit more fictional manner, in character: a more fun way than just writing answers straight up and down. I have enjoyed those so much! There's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned- honestly, I have to say, I'm really proud of my output on Patreon even though I have been really anxious about writing full time. It's going great! I have to thank my new friends and support-network on discord; you make this all worth it. I cannot express how fun it is to shoot the shit with you in vc, gaming together, or seeing your shenanigans in gen or your in depth theories (thanks for the brainworms!) or memes or staring longingly at the fanfic channel or drooling over your art (ouro related or not) or... Gah. You are just amazing people, and I will waste no opportunity in saying so. Thank you forever and ever and ever an-

When it comes to OUROBOROS, I am happy to announce that the next chapter is damn near done! I was halted because of the discovery that dashingdon is no longer supported by it's creator, and have been working on the twine version ever since, earlier than I expected- it's tough work, but I am so excited to make this an actual game made entirely by myself, and not submitting to a company that quite frankly leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is taking long to make because I want to make it mobile compatible from the start, which there isn't a lot of resources for. But I'm doing my best! The plan is that I will be posting the next chapter for Patreons in the coming month, and then treat you to a full twine release here on tumblr. I haven't made any rewrites when porting the twine build, but I would like to do that too... so we will see; this plan is not set in stone. I will just have to see how it evolves over the next month. Yes, beta-readers is still on the schedule, just holding off a little while while I wrap my head around this new coding landscape.

Other than that, I have been working on the set aesthetic for ouro, which has been really hard, a lot harder than I expected. You all know I am no wizard when it comes to graphic design, but I want to at least develop a set palette and imagery and portraits that is cohesive to the story. The work is ongoing, and I don't have much to say about it- even though it is taking a lot of my brain power. I'm hoping I can come to some kind of set and in depth conclusion that I am happy with before the twine release, because I want the game to feel like a treat to open up and play; a world to get lost in.

That's it! If you want to see weekly and more in depth dev-logs, you know where to go. I hope you have an amazing day or night, and we will see each other soon. xx

#OUROBOROS #ouroboros-if #interactive fiction #twine wip #progress report #dev log #I am SO sorry I haven't been around a lot to answer asks- there is so much work to be done and only so little of me to go around whuhuhuhu #send help lmfao. tuck me into your pocket. keep me safe!!!! I have no idea how people manage all this. But I promise and cross my heart I a #Doing My Best™#other things not mentioned: I have been going through The Stress with my doagy who injured her leg but today we finally took a full hike t #together- she really scared me with how much pain she was in but we made it through 😭 I cannot thank my patreon supporters enough because #your support is making me breathe easy about the upcoming vet bill. why are blood samples so expensive. wah #yeees yees im bursting with butterflies and rainbow emotions. but truly- I can't thank you enough #Onwards! We keep moving!I am so excited for all this-damn all the stress and the insecurities-I am Doing It!!! It is Happening! Wahoo!
