CHRONICLE ZERO, 30/7 - 6/8

(if any of the IRL dates are wrong by a day, blame it on my timezone being very different)

Okay! So! I'm just going to keep somewhat up to date by doing these in chunks! Yeah! Most of these are just initial thoughts and commentary, but that's to be expected. Anyways-

(long post, you know the deal) (isn't Tumblr supposed to shrink long posts anyways?) (I've seen it on other posts but not mine)(weird)

Dated July 30th 19XX

I've previously covered this, so here's a link to that.

Although as an add-on to it, I should mention that I am leaning away from the tape idea now (as cool as it was,) as some of the posts were a bit- too visual? Such as using arrows, the misspellings, and crossing out words. I've heard from people that it could be a journal, a typewriter, a pink pricess digital diary-

All of which would make 100% sense, absolutely.

-------------

The Poll (same day)

The poll! This will be another interactive, it seems. The options were just saying Hello in various ways. Didn't seem to affect or interact with the next batch of writing so likely it's one of those "keep trying, at some point it will work and get through!" features. (Ask blog Chronos go!!)

"Hello?" won, if anyone's interested-

-------------

August 4th (irl date, assuming it matches)

So, it's een eight months since some kind of event. (It was December 4th if so). It's hard to forget aforementioned event, although they wish "they could stop keeping time as much as they do." It's interesting phrasing for sure.

"been through hell and back since then" (awww Chronos....)

'yoXX you'd think I would get used to the looks, the glaXX (glances?), The phrXX (uh.. phrases?) the REMARKS, the notes. But they don't understand. "

Show them? Make them understand? Make them think about how their actions affecting Chronos and family? Who is them? By itself I was thinking that "they" are the GIC's, hense the inability to communicate. But with the stuff from before it could also just be the general populace being all "ooh something happened to those guys let's all STARE AT THEM AND WHISPER." Which isn't great either, or easily stoppable. Small town vibes too.

Then the list of good things, like "my family" and "my dog", including an individual named Jay (likely the "she' mentioned before) and another entry that is crossed out. (Also I'm worried that uh, everyone on this list isnt going to get out this well-)

Bad things: Unforgettable. But not a lot of information given to us just yet-

Chronos is also coming around to how useful/helpful the Chronicles are

And if anyone's curious, this is what was notable on December 4th last year:

(Photo sourced from @generationlossupdates with the following Id: [Id- a tweet from Generation Loss, it says "2" with a image attached to the tweet, the image is the logo, looks hand painted and bloody. - end id] )

I'm currently under the assumption it's just coincidence, but I'll give it to you all anyway.

-------------

Second Poll, Same Day:

Another poll, also with a just question mark for the text. The options are "Who?" And "What?". I think it's asking what we want to know more about in the Chronicles, the characters? Or the world? (Well idk for What, what can mean a lot of things)

These polls feel eerily similar to the early gamey interactions in TSE, with the first one being a little bit of a dud and not wholly consequential, whilst the second leads to more more information about the area, and kinda controls what the character says and does. (In this case, what they write about next for our information)

Choose your own adventure book style, ya know

"Who?" won, so let's see if this is backed up in the next lot.

-------------

August 5th

J (presumably, Jay) suggested Chronos log their "Wild dreams" the past few days. there's another X cross out in the word "another" (anohtX) but this time, only one. The first one is misspelt so could be simply just crossing out (quite literally) the misspelling.

(Damn Chronos just like me fr fr)

So... Kinda info about the characters??? In terms of the Who/What from before? It's not as strong of a link as I would like it to be but it's all good-

-------------

D1: (Same Day)

(a dream discription, one of a number to come)

Standing in field of an unidentified plant, under a red sky. Weird terrain, felt like the ssky was curving upward. The sun was gone. (gnX)

Walking, trying to find something, not presently remembered. Then they started to sink, and they fell into a Chasm, a created, almost geometric yet unstable cave. Smooth white rock or concrete walls. Shifted and changed as they went deeper, until they saw "it". (Whatever it is, they didn't want to see it.) Dream be forcing them to see it though.

Then they're back in the field.

Stay tuned for Zero looks up Dream Interpretation and pretends to know what they're doing! (Cause I'm 100% sure it will be a long one, so different post)

-------------

August 6th

(aka the funny post that made GLRanboo jokingly ask if I was Chronos/Chronicle, bc of the screaming about work thing-)

Damn guys I think they don't like their work or their manager. One could interpret the million years old thing as just another word for "old geezer" but wouldn't it be funny if he actually was a million years old-

Anyways, I'm going to hazard a guess that what they sell is something technology related. Anyways, we don't like the manager here, how dare they not give any respect to Chronos.

XX update: another two XX's on the word making (he's maXX), and then another four at the end of a lot of exclamation marks.

Moving on, Chronos showed their dream to Jay, who suggested that's to do with a cycle and being forced to relive stuff (RELIVE THINGS YOU SAY-)

As for the snacking comment- I have no idea if that actually has anyy correlation to what you dream. More J lore about liking the crazy and supernatural, but what I find interesting is the three different ratios Chronos gives. Like, yeah okay man we get it you wanna be right, I'm sure you are I'm sure-

50/50, 60/40, 70/30. Just constantly increasing your chances at winning, I see u-

So, we have got a little bit of lore building! Real cool real cool.

(I feel it in my bones that MatPat would mention all over the rewriting and changing and the three different ratios, but in that case he'd be absolutely horrified if he saw my old school books-)

#gen loss #generation loss #chronicle 0 #tangled tape #zero thoughts #yoooo so this is cool #gonna use Chronicle 0 as the tag for this now #i still cant get over the zero thing like plz #maybe at some point i'll just accept defeat #but ya gotta admit #Chronos or even Chronicle is so much better in terms of uniqueness #im calling myself out #but yeah

While we're on the subject of Persuasion, I want to mention that I think no one should be allowed to make YA retellings of that book. "I'm twenty-seven and running into the guy I broke a betrothal with at nineteen" is in no way comparable to "I'm eighteen and running into the boyfriend I dumped at sixteen." Persuasion's arc requires maturity. Time for both the leads to grow. You can't get that with teenagers.

#persuasion #jane austen #books #i say this as i have a ya retelling on my library pile #but that's cuz it's set in trinidad and counts for my world tour #(and i gotta admit that having anne's family run a hotel is a sharp adaptation choice)

i know this may just be my indulgence. but i do think osamu and iwaizumi would get along so well

#reinas.inretrograde #there’s this thought in my head where iwaizumi is telling him how he has a friend in america who wants an onigiri miya to open there #because he brought some of his onigiri as an airplane snack and whatever he didn’t finish. he gave to you.#and then iwaizumi adds ‘and for some reason. they also think you’re hot.’#this is an additional surprise to the information iwaizumi already dropped. but it’s an even more pleasant one and despite trying to remain #unreadable. a smile tugs at his lips. and iwaizumi notices. the man must immediately point it out.#‘oh shit. you actually like that?’ and osamu is easy to quip back. ‘like it’s so bad to be flattered #iwa-san? ain’t everyone gotta be repressed like ya!’#osamu isn’t able to dodge the jab iwaizumi throws at him. his tactic much more calculated than atsumu’s aimless barrage. ‘im not repressed #im just…’ ‘private?’ osamu finishes for him. iwaizumi turns his face away from the honesty. never been one to look at his feelings in the #eyes. osamu gets it. so he just nods his head while discretely trying to rub away the blooming pain on his bicep.#there’s still that playful negging that iwaizumi will never admit to enjoying. but osamu has a reserved personality that allows iwa to open #just enough and close the conversation before it gets too far #to me! this is real to me!! doesn’t have to be real for you

[ID: A mostly uncolored comic of Jon and Martin on a gray background. Martin is a tall, fat, white man with shoulder length hair pulled into a ponytail, scruffy facial hair, freckles, a tooth gap, body hair, and round glasses. He is wearing small earrings, a t-shirt, sweatpants, and socks. Jon is a shorter, thin Arab man with long curly dark hair with lighter streaks pulled into a low bun over his shoulder, a full beard and mustache, and his skin is covered in various scars. He's wearing a long-sleeved shirt and half-moon glasses and his lower half is covered by a blanket.

Jon is sitting on a couch, humming and drawing in a sketchbook as Martin walks by, curious, and leans over the back of the couch.

Martin: What are you drawing?

Jon jumps and holds his sketchbook to his chest, blushing.

Jon: Err... Martin: Can I see? Jon: It's not finished...

Martin sits on the couch and Jon turns away with sparkling eyes.

Martin: That's okay! Jon: Mmmm.... Martin: Please~? Jon: ... Alright.

Jon shows the sketchbook.

Jon: It's still in the ugly phase....

The drawing is a work in progress of Martin wearing white drapery, holding the bottom up to expose his legs while his other arm is raised by his head, with more drapery hanging over his arm. His chest is partly exposed, his hair is undone, and his expression is soft, looking down and to the side. His freckles and body hair haven't been drawn yet, but he is partially colored in with red bits for his hair, blue shadows on the drapery, blush and skin tone partly rendered, and a golden background.

Martin stares at it, awestruck, blushing with his mouth hanging open as Jon presents it with his eyes closed. A note says Martin is having "many thoughts, head full". He looks at Jon with the same expression. The final panel shows his head drawn massively as he yells, gesturing at the sketchbook. His text is in all caps.

Martin: That's the ugly phase?! Jon: I-I mean it's far from finis- Martin: Jon.

end ID]

i think jon is an artist and the beholding beams all kinds of art knowledge into his brain at the safehouse to help him out with that. i think he uses these powers to express his love for his boyfriend by drawing him a lot in increasingly flattering ways and he's a lil shy about it

also i am VERY tempted to like. finish jon's drawing some time because like. it turned out better than i was intending to make it aklsjdhajdh

edit: i finished it. full version of jon's drawing of martin HERE

#fg's art #the magnus archives #tma #martin blackwood #jonathan sims #jonmartin #jmart #teaholding #its a cute shipname ya gotta admit #bare chest #artistic nudity #girl help #ask to tag #also i hope that id is okay #also also IGNORE missing details i did that half on purpose for comedic purposes HAVE A NICE DAY
