The Biopunks (EARLY DRAFT, DON'T PUBLISH)
The sound of the bioalarm clock woke Marcos up. It was time to go to the bioclub. Marcos was a biopunk, which meant he had a cool tattoo that could read and modify genomes, but instead of having like cool superpowers he just made like fruit and weird flowers because superheroes are an imperialist fantasy and I don’t want to write about them.
Marcos washed his teeth with the biotoothpaste and ate biofruit he biomodded himself with his biotattoo on the local bioforge. He read the bionews in his biosmartphone and then went away. He went to the biotoilet which recycled his poop into more bioinfraestructure because that's how it is in the future. Marcos lived in a barrio made of container boxes because the world was fucked up because of The War and it was all the Argentine goverment could give him. He put on his Official AFA Argentine National Football Team jersey and went away.
Marco turned on his Yamaha™ Old School motorcycle. You should keep in mind that it’s weird that it uses gas because it’s The Future and nothing uses gas anymore because there was an Oil Crisis that created an Neo-Inca Civilization I'm not talking about here. But Marcos is relatable so he goes everywhere in motorcycle.
Buenos Aires was a cool city. It was very much buenosairean, with old buildings in the uhhh porteño style, and new buildings that looked like DNA and molecules and all that stuff I should be studying instead of writing this. The city was green with plants and everything was shiny… Except for the places that were fucked up by bioweapons and war that nobody should go into, so pretty much like today.
Helicopters that were ripped off Neon Genesis Evangelion or perhaps Half Life 2 flew over the city. They were part of the Genendarmería, the Argentine Genetic Police, which were asshole cops just like the gendarmería but with talking dogs. Their mission was to provide dramatic tension and show that behind all the wonders of technology this is a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by The War.
“Hmm, che the fact I live in a post-apocalyptic world is kind of a bajón” Marcos thought in Argentinean. He was Argentine by the way.
Marcos arrived at the Mariposa Tecnicolor bioclub. It was like a huge tree with buildings stuck on it, or a building with trees growing out of it, I don’t know. It was cool, but it had Seen Better Days.
Marina opened the door. She was reading a book. She was always reading a book. Paper books are a hipster thing in The Future but don't tell her.
"Olá, Marcos." she said in Brazilian (she's from Brazil)
Marcos smiled.
"What are you reading, Marina?" "Oh I'm reading Borges." Borges is an Argentine author. "Wouldn't you say this tree is kind of like a Borges story?" Marina said an awkward literary reference. "I sure would!" Marcos answered happily, because she was her crush. "In fact, it reminds me to a Julio Cortázar story!" Marcos said another awkward reference. "I like literary references!" Marina said. They also liked each other, because books. They didn't say it, because Sexual Tension.
They entered the tree. Inside there was a messy laboratory that I would describe in more detail but since I'm lazy think about it like some sort of art school classroom mixed with a cheap university biolaboratory all made in wood. In The Future, biological laboratories are biological, but not in the gross usual biopunk way, they are made of wood and look like trees, because trees are the best laboratories and can make drugs, you should know this if you're learned plant physiology.
Marcos friends were there. They were drinking mate, because this is set in Argentina. They were six in total, because Friends.
Then, a cyborg dolphin spoke:

I cannot logically explain this belief.
But I am 110 percent certain that Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp have had a threesome.

I'm looking through old drabbles* and. There's one where Wirt, Sara & some highschool kids try to summon a ghost with a copy of The Hobbit (hardcover, mind you), and some snippets of, quote, "Nature Poetry Riddled With Sorrow".
Noteworthy mention: These drabbles are all hand-written inside a journal held together by faith. And with handwriting that heavily implies most of this was written past midnight because a doctor could be jealous.

If you had told 13 year old me that I would be invested in music, both my violin and songwriting/producing, actually did a //sport// (that isn't intimidating, I love skiing AH) and *enjoyed it,* had a stable, loving relationship with all my family, and am settled in the outside appearance of who I am right now... Well. I don't know what she would do that girl was a fricken mess.
And I'm sure I could play this game ten years from now and also be shook... it's just. Sometimes I feel like there is an ever-present ticking behind me, which (news flash for everyone) there is, but being content is not the end of the world. I could go on for many many essays about how settling religion in my heart is just a struggle, and how balancing outside life and who I am is hella hard, but at the end of the day... I can be content in my life and still in crisis.
(there's a cut so I don't waste your scroll time lol)
This year has been... A lot. Around this time last year I was very severely SH-ing, and it was just a bad loop I was in. And I've experienced AMAZING things this summer, and been to places I can even process in hindsight. I've learnt balance, and figured out why my relationship with food is so hard, and how I need to start going about my eating life in light of that. But, a lot does not have to always be bad. I've learnt about parts of my mind (TALKING ABOUT YOU IRRATIONAL FEAR) that I didn't know I had. Also that I like rom-coms.
For every shitty moment that happened in this past year I can LITERALLY FEEL how much sharper my brain is now than before. LITERALLY FEEL IT. And I'm... yk, I'm not actually sure what emotion I'm feeling but I'm just overjoyed to be content.
No, I don't need to fit into a body type I don't have (yes, I do need to learn my triggers, and work with myself to get into a better physical state)
No, I cannot be neutral in my war against myself and a clash of worldviews that I somehow //know// will be beautiful someday.
Anyway.
There were 2 major deaths in the peripheral of my life last year, and I've both understood that grief and losing someone is hard, but it opens doors.
And of course, there is a ticking clock, and I need to be more aware of it in a not paranoid way.
SO.
this was gonna be a skiing appreciation post, but then it just became a year in review post.... So HEH ENJOY THE TEA FRIENDS
hugs hugs hugs!
<33
(P.S. I have the best big sister in the world. Everyone understand, sometime in May some not so great things happened online to my bestest greatest sister in the world, and I think if I don't say this i would have failed my public school training: there are people behind the usernames. Real people. So before you go calling someone some name, or even saying that they aren't a real fan, just think about it. After all, we aren't as important as we think we are.)
(P.P.S. I WAS GONNA SAY IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH THAT MY SISTER IS THE BEST AND I LOVE HER TO DEATH BUT I GOT DISTRACTED LOL. My sister is literally amazing. I love her so much. And I know the next... 3? (it's 2 and I know it but I'm tryna be hopeful) years are gonna be really different that the last however long we've been in this "we are besties and no one can stop us" phase. And I love you. LITERALLY SO MUCH. and you are gonna be a super duper duper duper good nurse. Cause your the super duper duper duper duperistist bestest greatest biggest sisterist everist. Love you @redpiperfox <33)
(P.P.P.S. would anyone read my year in reading reviews? I read books this year, and I wrote reviews on them and and and.... id love to share 🥺 TELL ME IF YOU'D READ IT PLEASE!!!)
(P.P.P.P.S. ok good night for real now)

Random Akari headcannons
I’m going to be Frank, I’m going to base this off how I played PLA having never played a pokemon game outside of Pokemone Tower Defense before in my life
Akari is not Dawn, she was created by Arceus to try and fix the relationship between people and pokemon in Hisui (the rest of the world was AS bad when it came to this because their local legendaries weren’t involving themselves in the matters of humans. Excluding Kyurem/ Reshiram and Zekrom. Those guys are the angsty teens of the legendaries; they never listen to Arceus or the others and do what they want.)
Akari wasn’t Arceus’ first creation made to address this problem, she was just the most successful.
Her arc phone is like Percy Jackson’s pen, it always returns to her pocket/satchel. Additionally it never gets damaged. She’s taken a sledgehammer to the damn thing in a fit of rage once and it didn’t do a thing.
i know by game mechanics that Akari’s right handed but I like to think that she writes this her left hand. that way she can regularly throw berries and lures to keep the pokemon distracted while she jots stuff down in the Pokédex
While Akari could spend weeks out in the wilds by herself, she tries to return to the closest base camp at least every other day so that Professor Laventon doesn’t worry too much.
She can’t die, when her body gets enough damage it goes into this sort of stasis where she basically just passes out and heals. When it’s ready, the closest person is drawn towards her. Kinda like they’re subconsiosly alerted that someone is injured and head over to where she is. This was how she was always “rescued” by the security corps.
Post-game, when Akari would get burnt out she would pretend to be kidnapped by the Misfortune Sisters, but in reality they just battle and hang out. She has been almost convinced to join them on several occasions, but her loyalty to Laventon and Cyllene was slightly stronger.
she also thinks it’s funny to give her “scary” pokemon silly names and her cutesy pokemon badass names. Her Samurott that could and would cut you down with no hesitation is named Buttons. Her Alpha Steelix is named Shoelace. Her Happiny that evolved into a beautiful Blissey? Bonecrusher.
The exceptions to this rule are her Bonsly and her Cherubi, who respectively (and affectionately) named Little Bastard and SonofaBitch. Yea this is due to their Pokédex entries being a pain in the ass to fill. No Professor Laventon didn’t approve of the name selection. Yes Rei agreed full-heartedly. Yes the pokemon love their names. (The pokemon also refuse to evolve on account of this)
while she doesn’t like being alone, Akari is INCREDIBLY independent. She had her own house and was basically free to do what she wanted as long as worked on the Pokédex for as long as she can remember. She likes having people to rely on, not people to smother her.
Her pokemon are all sluts, though she wasn’t really aware of that fact until she returned to the future and suddenly her room was being filled with unhatched pokemon eggs. (Wild pokemon in a consistently safe, warm environment with a reliable food source? Perfect place for a nest
if/when she goes to the present the “SEEK OUT ALL POKEMON” pops up her screen on the arc phone again and now she’s gotta do an INTERNATIONAL Pokédex. However, she decides that she gets to take her time on this one considering she’s been basically grinding everyday of her remembered life. As a result she ends up casually traveling A LOT once she’s adjusted to modern living

OK, but the weird thing about the LotR movies, well, one of the weird things. Weird good, not weird bad. Is that they paid off.
I mean... these days, you get a trilogy of anything, or multiple series of anything and the law of diminishing returns just goes to town 90% of the time. Sequels are often disappointing, trailers are misleading, people try to go bigger and better and make it bigger and worse instead. The more hype there is around something, the more difficult it is to deliver a satisfying and enjoyable product. And people were so hyped for LotR. I remember watching the trailer for The Fellowship of the Ring having not read the books and going 'Yes. That. Please.' Then I watched it and I had to read the books before the next film came out. And so many other people did the same that what had already been a highly anticipated film trilogy, became a global phenomenon.
There was so much excitement around The Two Towers and Return of the King and they delivered on it. You went in with high expectations and you came out satisfied and more than satisfied.
A lot of that has to do with the source material, yes. And I know that lots of book fans still to this day have arguments about what was left out etc. etc. But the overwhelming audience - even the die hard book fans - went into the audience really hyped and came out more hyped. And a lot of it has to do with how they filmed them all together and treated them more like one big film rather than three small instalments. BUT that doesn't make it any less of a miraculous event.
Imagine going to a sequel film today and not having a part of your mind think 'It won't be as good as the first one, but it'll probably still be fun'. And that's not even all the fault of film makers, because novelty is always going to excite our brains more than something we've seen before. We are made to love new things. The Lord of the Rings films capitalised on that, but then somehow managed to capitalise on our nostalgia with the next two films. I don't even know how.

Everyone talks about how cats try to train you by bringing you a dead mouse but about a month after I got my cat he literally waited for me to get home from work so I could have a heart attack when I got home from work at 10:00 at night because he killed a lizard and stood at my bedroom door. Waiting to show me a dead lizard
