trigger warning: This au is based off the godzilla universe (specifically minus one). I focus on the aftermath of graphic disaster scenarios, so I suggest to skip if you're not in the mood!

He stumbles in the second act.

Prisms of light scatter in Wenhan’s peripherals as he stares down at the stage floor. Red and gold pom poms and strings of glass beads hit against rouged cheeks, gouging out small trails the way careless brushes of fingertips do. The sweat curtaining his skin becomes seamless pearls blending into white face paint.

The orchestra continues on, drowning out murmurs in the audience. They’re trained to recover from falls and mistakes like any other performer. Punishment from directors and sponsors is always more severe than a split second of humiliation. He could be up and into the next sequence within a heartbeat.

But he’d caught himself on stinging hands and knees. Motionless until the throb of the fall is a numb pulse and his tongue curls dry to the roof of his mouth. Frozen in place as ribbon dancers and masked figures in loose hanfu move around him. The slightest tremor caresses his open palms.

A guttural screech from a violin in the pit raises Wenhan’s head. Stage lights flood his eyes as he searches blindly in the audience. Dancers to his left hit the floor as the stage sways with a thundering crack and shrieks puncture the air from all sides. A layer of white dust rains down against a fleeing crowd, blanketing colorful costumes in splintered fragments. The ceiling above the audience collapses first, throwing up toxic clouds. Wenhan stumbles to his feet as his lungs shudder to breathe, pressing a sleeve to his mouth and nose as he shoves hesitant crew to the emergency exit backstage.

Wenhan watches as a beam of overhead lights crashes down onto fleeing bodies. Snapped metal groans above from the weight of the collapsed ceiling. Shattered glass pops under his feet as he stumbles back to escape the gush of water from gutted pipes in the walls and stripped live wire. The low whine of twisted metal above ends with a sudden snap. The debris in his throat chokes him more than the pain of his legs pinned beneath steel beams.

He stares up at the open sky now painted in smoke and filled with the clamor of emergency sirens. A shaking hand grasps weakly at his shoulder, and he doesn’t recognize the face smeared in blood and dust to his left. A body smashed beneath slates of plaster and metal.

Wenhan stares up at the sky, holding that hand in his until fingers no longer tremble and everything is still.

February 23, 2008

The WPC (West Pacific Coalition) was formally established after an unprecedented attack killed thousands in Shanghai during lunar new year celebrations. This international security effort is recognized by the governing bodies of China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Curated teams of military personnel and emergency responders are deployed based on high risk scenarios regardless of nationality to prevent further loss of human life and destabilization of global society.

–

Tiles bleed cold underneath knees tucked in front of an empty hole in the wall meant to house a cross. Two weeks ago, the wood had been needed to repair the roof due to a small quake’s aftershocks. Now, no one wanted to make time to properly dress the space for anyone to pray, or mourn, or curse. Rebuilding Busan’s port communities took every willing pair of military hands. Any spare unwilling ones were busy burying the dead or clinging to a warm body, leaving no room to beg God for favors.

Yet, it’s a quiet space, even if mostly abandoned. Away from shuffling bodies of overworked soldiers and unfamiliar faces.

Taeil stares down at the spray of grey and white now dusting his army fatigues.

“Does that work?”

The man perched over him reminds Taeil of a bird. Every feature of his is sharp. The way each angle meets the next throws shadows under dark lashes and glaring cheekbones. Simultaneously jarring and soft. The way you wouldn’t expect a row of feathers next to talons. Even the accented Korean on the other man’s tongue feels pointed. Calculated. Almost too precise to be comfortable.

“What…” Before Taeil realizes his reply is more of an exhale than an answer. “--does what work?”

The other man pauses, but the amused twitch of his lips lingers. He mirrors Taeil’s kneel, leaning a little awkwardly to the left instead of straight. His right leg isn’t fully tucked under his thigh. The way he presses his hands together is enunciated, as if he’s trying to overcompensate for his role in a silent film. He crosses himself, gesturing wordlessly to the sky.

Stunned silence is the weight on Taeil’s bottom lip as his mouth opens, before the gnashing of teeth beheads words dying to form. His eyes fall on the burning end of the other’s cigarette, as if he’s watching the dying ember of his own annoyance. Taeil exhales through his nose and nods his head at the smoke. “--does that work for you?”

“Only when I don’t have anything better to put in my mouth.”

“Asshole.”

“Close, but it wouldn't be my first choice.”

Taeil starts to stand, tempted to shoulder check the stranger on his way up. Rationality was never his first choice. He was always chastised for emotionally charged decisions during training. Prolonging this conversation would likely end with his fists bruised and both of them bloody. It was the first week in this base. A reputation built on nothing couldn’t be used as leverage, no matter how good he thinks that sharp nose would look broken.

“It was an honest question. Do you ever get what you ask for?”

Curled fists open and close at his sides before he turns towards the door without answering. A much larger figure fills the frame, blocking Taeil’s exit. Dark eyes glance over a familiar wrinkled face. Taeil’s posture goes rigid. He bows his head to the senior officer.

“Ah, I see you two met.” There’s the threat of a reprimanding edge, though it seems directed at the soldier behind Taeil. “Private Yoo, this is Private Li, a pilot from Shanghai.”

Private Li was now standing as if the casual collapse of limbs on the floor had been snapped upward by a pulled string. He still leans into his left side, as if he can’t wait to drop the salute once no one’s watching. Both men meet eyes, but this time neither of them are smiling.

“Your new partner.”

–

Wenhan tears away flyers from the front door of the barracks. The images are grainy pixels enlarged sloppily to fit its new frame of cheap computer paper. But the painted features of the subject are clear enough even from a distance.

“What a waste. You look so pretty, ge–”

Wenhan tosses shreds of paper at the face crinkled with laughter to his left. The mandarin that rolls off his tongue is an effortless shift.

“Then you can tape it together and jack off later.”

“Shit, hey– hey, hey,” Hong shields his face and steps out of the way of an elbow aimed at his gut. “It wasn’t me. You know who thinks pulling this shit is funny.”

Even if the construction of this military camp had been congested to a rural corner in the city, their barracks only had four bunks. Compared to other soldiers forced to sweat and curse during the summer in a room with 18 other men.

Wenhan’s busy emptying a shelf of one of his roommates, tossing the best snack wrappers a guaranteed death payroll could buy onto the empty bunk next to it.

“You met him, right? Did you ask why he was transferred here? What's he like?”

What comes to mind first is the silhouette of a stranger’s back. One man on his knees in an empty room already abandoned by the hands that built it.

Wenhan blinks. A dimple forms between his brows. He smooths a thumb over his forehead as if it would iron out the mental crease.

“Ask him yourself.”

Wenhan gains the uncomfortable weight of Hong’s arm across his shoulders and leans away from the warm breath on the back of his ear. Hong doesn’t even whisper, confident in the disguise of their native language.

“I heard he volunteered for a suicide mission.”

Wenhan pauses. Considering superiors kept information to themselves until mistakes rose the death toll. It wasn’t so unbelievable they would consider going on the offensive before signs of an attack in the east sea. But Hong was overzealous, often inflating the truth with his desire for grandeur.

“I also heard he killed someone, so it was either that, or prison time.”

The mandarin comes from neither of the men, but from behind. Fluent as if it flowed from the memory of a native. He shoves his shoulder into Hong, watching the other dramatically collapse as if he’d sniped him. Taeil stands in the open doorway, wearing neither a smile or a frown. Hong still carries enough shame to apologize, while Wenhan feels the corners of his lips curve up.

Taeil doesn’t seem offended enough to start a fight as he walks further in, prompting Hong to throw an arm around his shoulders and continue rattling off in Mandarin.

“It’s always a suicide mission. Even if it’s true– just makes you stupid like the rest of us.”

Wenhan starts to roll up one hem of his pants as Hong interrogates the other soldier. He presses fingertips into skin, where his kneecap meets the solid metal of his calf, massaging tiny circles into the joint.

Taeil’s attention lingers on the flash of silver jutting out where one would expect to see flesh. Wenhan could recognize pity in anyone's face. But the look Taeil casts at his prosthetic is devoid of surprise or even embarrassment for having been caught staring. Maybe more like a stranger in a museum. One who could only be voyeur to a past they could never live inside of or understand. Every glance strangely intense despite the impossible distance.

But without pity.

“Pretty sexy, isn’t it.” Wenhan kicks his heel against the solid concrete floor. “My eyes are up here.”

“I was looking at your third eye.”

Taeil catches the extra set of blankets Wenhan throws without missing a beat.

–

No one enjoys the nightwatch at Taejongdae.

Wenhan prefers the weight of briny air on his tongue to the suffocating anticipation of everyone at the military base. He’s empty handed for his shift, with nothing but the weight of a buzzing comm system strapped to his side and the soft glow of the lighthouse glancing over dark waters below. Weapons wouldn’t save anyone on the ground. Time was all they ever had as a counter strike.

He walks the length of the highest cliff’s paved trail, roped in by steel fences peppered with rust. Other soldiers stationed on the southern tip of the city are wandering shadows in the night. There’s no one close enough to hear him as he hums the beginning of a melancholic note. No one around to complain as his voice rises in volume, competing against the claw of the ocean’s wind and lick of waves against carved rocks.

Then he’s twisting on his heel, grasping the butterfly knife hidden at his side. Golden light from the silent carousel of the lighthouse spills over Taeil’s face, lighting curious dark eyes and outlining the soft slopes of his cheeks. His open palms face outward to Wenhan in surrender.

“Are you a fucking idiot?”

Taeil steps closer, dropping his hands as he falls into Wenhan’s retreating pace. The only reply is the soft tone of Taeil’s singing, off key and unsure as he repeats the last line of the song Wenhan hadn’t finished.

“If you can sing like that, why are you out here?”

Wenhan carries on in silence. The lighthouse careens over black sea water.

“I wasn’t asking god for something.”

He turns back to Taeil. The abrupt stop has them breaths apart. He can see the dark circles pressed under both the man’s eyes. Chapped lips sealed thin. A small mole marks the corner of a tense mouth.

“I was cursing him, actually. For giving me the grim reaper as a partner.”

The tense curl of Taeil’s mouth softens. The coil of anticipation is gone, as if a switch had been flipped. The entire man’s body relaxes. On the cusp of revealing something more, but pulling back. He sighs like a tired old dog and raises his hands to the heavens.

It’s not the first time other soldiers warned new recruits about Wenhan’s reputation as an indirect death sentence. Some would even request to transfer before he’d meet them face to face. No one wanted to disprove potential mythology.

“Idiot.” He barely speaks above the sound of the ocean. But Taeil hears him, kicking up rocks and dust at Wenhan’s heels as they continue up the slope. He sings in broken Mandarin at Wenhan's back.

But his eyes are trained on glints of silver and white bobbing in the black churn. The glow of the lighthouse sculpts the distant shapes into what looks like overturned buoys. He stands still, staring into the sea as if he could will away the sight of dead fish rising to the surface. Taeil calls his name, but the roar of white noise drowns out any thought or instinct.

His comm device revives with a series of orders in Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog. Sighting along Taejongdae. Prepare for immediate impact.

Wenhan’s collar digs into his neck as Taeil forces him into a run. White dead bellies of fish are swallowed by a rising dark form. The lighthouse fights to glow around the massive shadow, illuminating pulsing coils of scarred flesh. An aching roar ruptures the air before the tower collapses into a wave of dust and shattered stone. The ground becomes sand beneath their steps seconds after warning alarms fill the air.

Taeil shoves Wenhan forward with desperate violence as the cliff beneath their steps crumbles. He turns back once his feet meet the solid safety of grass and arms of trees, lunging to grasp at Taeil falling into empty air. Fingers lock around Taeil’s wrist. Wenhan bites into his tongue, tasting the rush of blood and feeling the hot burn of torn muscle as he fights against the other man’s dead weight hanging over the cliff.

Taeil’s fingernails carve bloody trails down wenhan’s arm as he struggles for a strong grip. His body drags against the ground, slowly inching over the edge.

Not again.

His arms are shaking, tips of fingers pulsing numb.

Not again.

rambling text post (suicide mention, in a past/recounting context) (sudden lore drop)

I’m 26 and I’ve had two friends who killed themselves. Completely unrelated. 7 years apart. We weren’t close, but they were important to me. They were named David and Dave. They were both talented artist-writer-poets who died on the 14th of an early month. They were passionate about theater and politics, and they had ostentatious middle names honoring historical figures.

I know suicide intimately, not because of my own depression, but because there's more empirical evidence for suicide's role in creating me than God's. I'm close to my grandma, who'd raised one of her younger brothers, a genius who ended up violently killing himself in his early 20’s. It’s still a big shameful open secret contributing to our family’s collective trauma. Then my grandpa (the same grandma’s husband) tried to kill himself when my mom was 9; that was one of the reasons why they migrated to Singapore. So suicide has changed the trajectory of my existence before I actually existed.

I'm hypersensitive but the funny thing is, I tend to handle death pretty well, even sudden death. I don't mean 'well' in the sense of, like, Getting a Good Grade in Grieving. I mean the general enormity of loss doesn't stagger me and that's good because it lets me help the people grieving harder. I’ve lost friends, family, and pets. I was sad each time and mourned. Yet before Dave, the 'hardest' I'd ever grieved was over a pest rat caught in a cage, who was taken away by a freak meeting with an exterminator before my dad could release it in a jungle to get eaten by a snake. Make of that what you will.

When David died in early 2016, I was in a long depressive-sometimes-manic-generally-overall-miserable episode. Most of our friends had just started college, and a lot of us had major mental health issues. I'd isolated myself but I think we felt the loss in an amplified way because of that shared struggle and anxiety. I learned about David's explicit political motivations through his dad's memorial blog. I wailed after a semi-uncomfortable outing because I clumsily brought it up, and a comparatively stable longtime friend said they wanted to "remember the good" about David. I felt that David would've wanted to be accepted for 'the bad'. I wasn't even 20 yet.

Right before Dave died last year, I was the happiest I’d been in a long time, and I'd been pretty stable for years. I was writing a lot. I was recording videos and teaching myself to edit. I was excited for the future and amassing unprecedented peace with the past. I’d just watched Our Flag and it rewired my brain chemistry, so I was getting these epiphanies like "you have experienced love and belonging (you were just too traumatized and self-loathing to realize)", "a big chunk of your life is ahead of you", "you aren't unknowable and unlovable"...and then suddenly someone who made me feel known and loved, whom I'd known and loved, was gone for reasons I'll never understand.

Of course it also reminded me of the guilt and trauma surrounding David. I mean, they had the same name. I used to visit Dave's blog and think "haha that's funny, I knew a similar David! Good thing this one is alive!!" and maybe I'd think something about Goliath. I don't know.

I didn't process Dave's death properly because my family had emergency roof repairs on the day I found out. I had to ''staycation'' with my highly anxious, unwell mother and our highly anxious dogs, requiring a lot of movement and logistics. It rained the whole week. I had my period, which is near-debilitating. My parents were really kind about the situation, I love my dogs, but there was nothing we could do. My mom has a (consensually taken) video of a concerned Bonbon circling me 30+ times while I cried on a swivel chair. I tried to write to meet deadlines and all of my stories became about death or loss and they were bad but not interestingly terrible.

I've waited this long in the post to mention I've had past suicide ideation and periods where I just didn't want to live. It hasn’t been a Problem since I was 18. (A whole 8 years ago!) I get better every year. I'm firmly in a place where I know I want to stick around. I don't just 'not want to die', I want to live; I would be pissed if I couldn't. Still. I’m surprised at how hard it is to find suicide bereavement resources for people who are also suicidal. Weird, right? Nobody talks about the shell-shocked survivor’s guilt. Nobody talks about the multifaceted jealousy. Nobody talks about the part where, if people around us are mirrors, what can you conclude when a mirror somehow smashes itself?

David and Dave were both always nice to me. I mean it when I say they made me feel loved and seen, in a special way I've rarely felt. I only knew them a little yet what little I had meant so much. But David was demanding and hypercritical of his loved ones. Dave got into a lot of internet fights and discourse, some justified or funny, some uncomfortable or imo wrong. All humans are complex but they categorically weren’t just ‘sweet kids’. They didn't get to mature or learn. I know for a fact that I would've disappointed them if we'd been closer; maybe I already did. The reality isn’t always this complicated, right? Maybe? I assume? I honestly don’t know what a ‘typical’ suicide is like, because I haven’t personally known a suicide victim who wasn’t a confrontational Marxist with very strong opinions about theater. And I'd prefer not to know a variety. Jesus.

Eventually, I told my therapist about David and Dave. I said it was hard knowing that friends with my intensity of emotion had killed themselves. She said I was different from them because I'm a girl (lmao) and because I'm "not angry". I accepted it at the time, since fighting isn't a crucial part of my personality, but I got angry after thinking about it. Because I'm not so different when it counts; because I'm the kind of person who'd grieve a friend's suicide by complaining it was wasteful, ill-timed, and/or politically incoherent. I hope they would've appreciated being challenged. It's the best I can do for them now.

David hated Singapore and reportedly viewed America as a better option; he wanted to live in New York City. Dave lived in New York and viewed America as the ultimate evil. They would've deeply understood each other in many regards, but also gotten into a fistfight about Western imperialism. I'm the only person connecting them. What do I do with that? It feels like eldritch knowledge. Because of my upbringing and brain, it’s cognitively impossible for me to say it’s just a freak coincidence. I feel like I'm one of Job's sole surviving servants. I think there was A Reason, but that Reason is recursive; it’s just so I would know.

Two years ago, that Marvel TV quote kept getting passed around. "What is grief but love persevering?" Oh, fuck that. What's that supposed to mean for me? I didn't feel intense grief for the family/friends/pets I've lost, even at the very moment, so I don't really love them? I feel intense grief for one random rat and friends I held at arms' length, so I must love them the most, even when I resent them or planned to let the rat die displaced in the wild anyway? I can never separate Dave and David from each other, or from me. I’m going to be dragging this around for the rest of my life. I live in a carcass.

Underwater Cables: 23rd August 2023

This was the third day of the Shared Summer School Programme between Singapore, Zurich and Trondheim. We had a workshop by Bani Haykal who introduced us to the concept of World-Repairing. We were prompted to think of our favourite word and why. I had chosen the word "treacherous" as I used often. The reason it was my favourite word was due to the fact that it often suggests a type of risk and has connotations of danger in the situation or whatever that I am describing. Lemuel then interjected while discussing this word with "Anything worth doing will always have a risk."

We were then asked to choose two words that we are unfamiliar with and find out their origin and etymology. Lemuel and I decided to give each other two words to search. I gave him 'clandestine' and 'tumultuous' while he gave me 'misanthrope' and 'ennui'.

Learning Point 1: It is interesting how the words that we use or give to somebody often can paint a larger picture of who we are as a person. With the words that Lemuel had given me, he embodied being a misanthrope that is ennui. While the words I gave painted me as someone who valued secrecy and revolution (with a hint of violence).

With our convergence with Zurich and Trondheim, we had a brief afternoon exercise (morning for the other two locations) to translate feelings of power, confidence, intuition, etc through our body.

Then we started with Mohammed's acting workshop. As there was a bit of a mix up with yesterday's sitting arrangement, Lemuel and I decided to swap our stories. We were supposed to act out without making the point to obvious. Mohammed had a ton of instructions and we were all visibly struggling to follow along in Singapore as well as Zurich, that we had to clarify multiple times.

For the first part of the acting workshop, we were supposed to act out the stories that we were given. I was given the character Hannah who lived in Iceland, works as an archaeologist, cycles to work and has a habit of biting her nails. The setting: it was a snowy day and her cat, Sai, was sitting by the window as she leaves for work on her bicycle. She was cycling to her office just went she smelled something that made her cycle to a dig site to find a ring. She was supposed to meet someone named Andrew at that place.

Learning Point 2: I had never acted before, which made me feel really uncomfortable to act in front of such a large number of people and people who were at different locations as well. I had never acted before, so my actions were definitely more on the meek side and I was unsure if my actions translated what my mind was thinking of. It was definitely a little displacing to try a different medium to express myself.

For the second part of the acting workshop, we were made to have a twin to write a story with their characters individually. Karolyna and I were paired up and she had the idea for us to speak in our mother tongues. She spoke in Polish while I spoke in Chinese. We were having a 6 way dialogue with two from Trondheim and two from Zurich.

Learning Point 3: I really regret speaking in my Mother Tongue as it was not part of my character's backstory and it made connecting with people from other locations much harder. Although it was a pretty funny experience watching all of us act out quirky but I felt that I could have had a better opportunity getting to know them more if I had spoken in English.
