#but in her moments of clarity

[honeyfizzly]

Okay so this little tiny ittsy bitsy teaser got posted in the discord and like. Why is damsel frowning. She didn't even frown when she got STABBED just smiled and cried😭 how did we fuck up so bad that the damn damsel is going:(

#realistically its cause her one desire is to leave the cabin and in the new route were probably denying her that #damsel moment of clarity time #slay the princess #damsel

He gave me a sword, and I killed him with it.

#slay the princess #stp #stp the nightmare #slay the princess spoilers #scribbles #god. i could talk about her for so long. the nightmare and the moment of clarity are the best route(s?) in the world to me #it is reborn. worse. lonelier........ #the fact that the shifting mound describes her removing her mask as an act of vulnerability. can anyone hear me <- insane

girls did you know that um

fear is what pretends to protect us from loss. to fear death "protects" from losing a body. to fear ruin "protects" from losing status. to fear rejection "protects" from being known. but losing a body is contained within having a body. losing status is contained within having status. being known is contained within being conscious

#narrates #slay the princess #her entire speech here rules i LOVE everything with the nightmare. and with the moment of clarity

6. Comforting one another For broken and the moment of clarity, mayhaps? (specifically tmoc comforting broken) platonically.

6. Comforting one another

Wasn’t sure how to go about this one at first, but I think I managed something I’m happy with

In tandem with my last post about Heket I like to believe her wound was the worst and the most specific to her dominion because she probably defended the other bishops during the encounter the hardest and as such Narinder retaliated the most against her.

Also he just seems to dislike her the most and it makes sense since she effectively lords over life and him death.

#something Narinder is the most hostile towards Heket for no real reason and I’m gonna say they have weird sibling beef #in relation to shamura of wanted to be the oldest favorite cause Heket had shit on lock during Shamuras brainless arch #cause even shamuras injury gives them moments of clarity like Heket is completely ravaged in terms of her entire schitck as a crown barer #cotl the one who waits #cotl #heket cotl #cotl heket #cotl narinder #cult of the lamb

Heyooo so like do you think you could explain the Someya brothers relationship? It’s peaked my interest since the new songs with these two revolve around each other…

Yujiro and Koichirou aren’t related by blood, right? 🤔

Also, what do you think about the new songs that just came out?

Thank you so much for your time 💛💛 Happy New Years 💕

hi! happy new year~~!

this got kinda long so there’s a cut here for length sorry~~~

ngl i’m kindaaaaa fuzzy on the details about the someya bros’ relationship, but long story short, they’re stepbrothers (with koichiro spawning from the resident longleg tamagoro and yujiro being tae’s son, of course) who were kinda pitted against each other when it came to learning how to perform (kabuki) from tamagoro, because longleg’s gotta longleg ig.

then yujiro gets disinherited because the longleg’s still longlegging and koichiro takes to the kabuki stage by himself as the local “national treasure’s” sole heir. so, like, i’m guessing that the events surrounding yujiro’s disinherition may have led to their (frankly terrible) brotherly relationship of “an inferior older brother” and “a superior younger brother”?

though this dynamic carried on pretty much for as long as yujiro longed to perform on a kabuki stage, just like koichiro does (if we were to take the lxl movie’s word for it). then yujiro became an idol and started to work towards a different dream, breaking off from the path (kabuki) that he used to follow koichiro down, which i guess made koichiro start to see yujiro in a different light?

like, imagine you have a lifelong rival who strives for the same goals that you do. however, this rival of yours is less skilled than you, so you naturally grow to have a sense of superiority over your rival, taking satisfaction in crushing them while having full knowledge that they will never be able to beat you when it comes to your shared goals.

however, one day, your rival decides to aim for a different goal, completely ditching your shared goal and stuff, and they actually seem to be doing pretty well in their path to achieve their new goal. how would you feel?

because i get the feeling that koichiro’s initial response to that was to feel betrayed, in a “why are you running away (from kabuki)?” sense.

though, over time, koichiro seems to have gradually come to terms with yujiro’s idol activities, and their relationship naturally (albeit slowly) improved as the days passed, with them going on walks together and bickering with each other like brothers would. which, y’know, is cool of him in a way. he’s learning. he’s still kind of a brat, but he’s growing despite his past mistakes.

as for yujiro, well, he seems to have been looking out for koichiro in his own way from the very beginning? like, man chose not to go against koichiro’s mistreatment, opting to just lower his head and accept it instead.

was it an act of self-sacrifice to protect koichiro’s ego or something? heck, even in the lxl movie, he just took everything koichiro dished at him, and only fought back when koichiro dared to mock his bf aizo. which is. pretty unhealthy, yujiro bro. just tell him you have a proper brotherly love for him for goodness sake. your communication skills s u c k.

um. anyway.

tl;dr: stepbros made to learn kabuki because of their father. older bro gets disinherited, younger bro gets an attitude and mistreats older bro. this continues until older bro becomes an idol and begins to walk his own path. younger bro feels betrayed/annoyed at his older bro for “giving up” on kabuki. younger bro does eventually accept the fact that they have different dreams and supports older bro. seems like older bro has always been looking out for younger bro though, even though he doesn’t say it.

thoughhhhhh seriously, i’m not a someya expert or anything, i just like making fun of the longleg, so… if someone with a degree in someyaology could chime in, it’d be greatly appreciated~~~

as for the new songs, nagisa’s new song is the best of them all, no question. thanks for coming to my ted talk—

#real talk: i ​haven’t really had the chance to listen to the other new songs properly buttttttt #from the ones i heard nagisa’s is ✨top tier (maybe) ukulele action✨ and akarin’s is cute and you can hear her character development in it #hiyoko’s… uh… will have to depend on the inevitable mv. it’s failing my vibe check at the moment bc of its lyrics. but we shall see #um anyways!!! thanks for the question anon!!!!! i’m sorry if my answer falls short!!!!! #i’m not a someya expert i’m just a fan of making fun of the longleg i s w e a r r r r r r r #染BODY ONCE TOLD ME— #forgot my someya tag for a moment w h o o p s ehehehhehehehe #rereading this with the clarity of rest and. wow. character/relationship analyses really aren’t my thing huh… sorry~~~~~~~~~ #(still waiting on corrections from someya experts though s o bs im so sorry anon)

Something something the Moment of Clarity Chapter III only happens if you repeatedly refuse to make a choice. The consequences for refusing to either slay or save the Princess are that you lose all ability to make meaningful choices.

Something something while there are no wrong choices, not choosing at all is the only ‘wrong’ choice

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #spoilers #I REALLY like the moment of clarity chapter and suggest people try it cos it's interesting #From a narrative standpoint it's good #cos you refuse to choose and because of that you can't choose anymore #You have to go to the cabin but choose to leave her down there #Then in the Nightmara chapter #You have to again refuse to let her out #Either by throwing away the knife #Or by trying to run away when it's been made clear there is no escape

One year since Joan Didion’s death and I still remember how I gasped out loud in the kitchen when I was reading the news at breakfast & how my mother immediately asked if someone had died because that expression of immediate disbelief and grief could not be confounded for anything else, and how awed I was right after, that someone could be such a talented writer as to elicit that reaction from a complete stranger

#i don’t like to be overly sentimental about people i don’t know #but her writing made a blurry world come into focus #& she offered me that clarity in the exact moment I needed it the most #I’m also very sure I’ll be coming back to it throughout my life to help me make sense of it #or to at least have it as a companion as I attempt the uncovering myself

Trying to remember if kendall and shiv ever asked anything like this to logan while he was punishing them for "betrayal". I dont think they did because "it was all part of the game" and they had to play by his rules to win. Fucking figures that the one time someone actually said it out loud and questioned his rules, he'd keel over and die. Keep thinking about how having this leverage over his kids was Logan's life support, so it makes perfect sense that the second that leverage starts to lose meaning he'd die because he couldnt be with the ppl he loves without any kind of power over them.

#i dont want to say he traps anyone from leaving the cycle. #cause i feel like connor had a moment of clarity #and shiv is def going to talk abt the ugly parts of her marraige instead of leaving it to divorce lawyers #but uh. roman is definitely trapped and i think this is the second time this has happened and its. genuinely sick #succession

[parameddic]

imagine being hades/keeper of death/guider of souls/etc etc thematically in that box. the number of NO I HAVE TO GO BACK I CAN'T LEAVE THEMs. the amount of grief from the dead, as much as there's grief in the living. idk man

#grief tw #i wonder if rhys would arrive - in That Death verse - with a bang or with a whimper #thinking about. turned out with the knowledge of how he died. that he asked for it. and that's how it happened. #idk. fun thought experiment. your muse dies and has a moment of absolute clarity that that's what's just happened and they can't go back #something something. the only way out is On there is no Back #but do they. stand there. do they spend time wanting to go back. do they grieve before they move forward or do they barrel on #(do they get stuck and go nowhere at all waiting for someone they have left behind) #uhhhhhhh for tk's part he would eventually move on but i think his mum would have to be waiting for him #and he would be so so so so apologetic for making her wait. #and she would be so so so proud of him that he did.

i just saw the most beautiful act of love. gonna be sappy in the tags real quick :’)

#okay so some background: i work in a wellness center that has a good handful of medical services along with our other ones and one of the #medical services we offer is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?? <- in case you don't know what that is it's basically like a sleeping bag that we #zip you up in and give you a nasal canal with 90% oxygen and we pressurize the bag so it's similar to going up in an airplane. it's good fo #mental clarity and also for getting better sleep. like 1 hour in there is equivalent to 4 hours of REM sleep. super cool!! #also we use walkie-talkies to communicate with you since you're all sealed up in there and it takes like 10 minutes to pressurize up n down #however!! one of the other benefits is that it can help with symptoms of dementia. i've seen people with brain injuries come in before but #today was my first time seeing someone do it for dementia. and he brought his wife in with him for support #i just walked over and saw her sitting on the floor beside the chamber he was in and she was smiling and staring at him through the window #she was speaking into the walkie and laughing with him and i just. the idea of her wanting to be with him in these hard moments 🥺 #she's now reading a book but still sitting right there on the ground beside him. my nurse offered her a chair but she's not leaving his sid #i just i can't y'all i love love. #chelsea speaks
