#i have miles to go before i sleep

[blood-teeth]

#popped up on my fyp and I just - #tell me if there's a way home #like I’m missing something #I can’t FIND IT #it’s out there somewhere I must keep going #I have miles to go before I sleep

[im-very-sorry]

i genuinely love rhetorical devices and shit so much. as like a kid i was always like ugh this is so annoying but now i read a poem and half of it is repetition and i feel it in my fucking CORE

#let the curtains be blue!! #god damnit #i have miles to go before i sleep #rhetorical devices #repetition #i love it okay #its beautiful #repetition is nothing if not the human experience #it is everything ive ever felt #the entire spectrum of human emotion and then some #im going crazy #im gnawing at the iron bars of my enclosure #this life is a cycle SHoW ME ItS GUTS

#not too mourn but to comprehend #like wow i love this guy so much . he's so fucked up i just want to shake him repeatedly #swear that man is holding himself together by sheer will power and a poem #miles to go before i sleep....yeah buddy you have no idea. eldritch horrors favourite mortal to fuck with over here #malevolent #arthur lester

Quoth the raven: my field of fucks is barren.

#raven #quoth the raven #photography #I don’t know what to tag this as #this is a wholly unserious post #I’m very very tired and I have much to do #many miles to go before I sleep #and this is making me laugh so #anyway #irl the raven was chatting with me when I copied their calls #and then it popped up and down for a second #it was super cute

I'm so mad that I'm burning out right before the end. I'm almost done, but I'm struggling to care at all about the research; even though its cool stuff and I know I'd be excited about it in another life. But I just don't have the energy to self-drive for anything any more, and research is nothing but self-motivated.

wild friday night baby i am getting into bed at 10pm

#i’m so tired. walked five miles at work today and was there for almost ten hours #i haven’t packed or anything so i also need to make sure i have enough time to get ready before i pick up my car #but no rush though i guess my sister doesn’t need to be picked up from the train station until almost 5pm #and it’ll only take like two and a half hours to get there. so really i have a lot of spare time after i go to the car place #but i’m so sleep im going to bed #chatpost

Bradley's a real sunset bitch and Jake's a real sunrise ho, and nope, I won't elaborate any further.

#hangster #sereshaw #jake hangman seresin #bradley rooster bradshaw #jk sure I will #Jake loves a good sunset too especially with Bradley by his side and a cold beer and the waves hitting the shore #but the early morning is his time - he's up and halfway through a five mile run before Bradley is even conscious most days #because growing up that was almost the only time it wasn't unbearably hot for a run and it was his solace away from his loud family #and now it's just part of his routine (and Bradley being in bed all sleep rumpled and groggy and then following him into the shower doesn't #and Bradley loves a good sunset because his parents loved a good sunset #and growing up his mom would take him out to the ocean just in time for the sunset - no matter how long a day she'd had - #when she needed to feel close to his dad again #it was the last place she asked to go before she was too ill to leave the house (Bradley wrapped his arm around her waist and supported her #and now every sunset reminds him of her and his dad - but mostly the memories are happy now #and Jake helps make sure of that #Bradley has lost count of how many times Jake's sandy fingers have cupped his cheek for a sunset kiss

tbh it's really always bothered me a bit that they never actually get into the consequences of misusing the magatama. sure, sure, they say your soul shatters, and like, yeah that's ominous and all, but what does it mean? obviously we never get to see that in-game but i've been thinking about it a lot and i would like to present these thoughts because oh boy there are a lot of them. long post under cut but it's a fun little au as well

alright so before getting into it all, obviously there are some things we're aiming to explain, in some sense, with this.

for one: what is a soul, even? most depictions of souls portray them as the very essence of one's self, as the "culmination of your being" or as some similar nebulous expression of an entire person. but... well, if a soul was the entirety of a person, what would that soul shattering entail? it would just kill them. which is a valid reading i guess but not very fun to mess around with and is also a reading that comes with some... troubling implications.

most notably, the meter on how close you are to that breaking point while using the magatama is the same meter as your penalties in court. not just in the asset used, which wouldn't be worth bringing up, but in the sense that once the magatama is introduced, that same value that meter is held at is shared between court trials and the magatama. before the introduction of the magatama, that meter refilled automatically between trials, each trial starting with it completely full, but after the introduction of the magatama, it was only ever refilled by successfully breaking psyche-locks. this is concerning, because it implies a direct connection between phoenix's soul and his performance in court, which probably wasn't intended but is very fun to mess around with and i love the idea of your soul being tied to your passions. however i don't love the idea of him Straight Up Dying if he does too poorly in court so. uh, no insta-death for soul shattering. anyways this whole side tangent never comes up again. thumbs up emoji.

anyways, if a soul shattering doesn't entail simply death, and if a soul isn't just someone's essence or personality or whatever, well, what is it? well, one compelling answer is that it's merely a container. it holds someone's essence or being or personality, but it itself is not that.

thus i present:

Soul Shatter AU

a soul is just a container. one that holds everything in. someone's passions, ambitions, personality.

someone's secrets.

if it were to shatter... without a container, everything would come spilling out. whoever was involved would be unable to keep anything contained within themself. sure, their physical self might be enough to hold in some of the more ambiguous, nebulous aspects of their "self", but it would prove rather difficult to hide something with nothing there to keep it hidden inside.

a fitting punishment, really, for abusing the power to reveal what others have kept hidden.

the fun part, of course, is what comes next. who's used the magatama? who's had the chance to fall to such a fate?

off the top of my head i can think of two people. phoenix wright and miles edgeworth. (i think mia used one too? my friend says she did but i haven't gotten to that part yet i'm only on the third game)

and both of them, despite their focus on finding the truth, are very ironically prone to hiding things themselves. their feelings, their troubles, their emotions.

what if we opened them up a little?

#ace attorney #gyakuten saiban #ace attorney au #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #mia fey #(i barely mentioned her but shhshsh she can be relevant i just don't know enough about her yet) #soul shatter au #i think about this instead of sleeping #like imagine you're in court and your lawyer objects to something and the prosecutor is like ''ok well what's your evidence'' #and your lawyer is like ''um. hold on i have something here i can use for this probably'' #and you of course then ask ''man do you even know what you're doing?'' #and he just says ''i really don't have a plan here but this usually works just trust me'' #the idea of holding them to 100% complete honesty is really funny to me #benefits of this au: whoever you choose to soul shatter gets therapy #it's really funny in a narumitsu context as well because it's only a matter of time before one of them just Has to admit their feelings #like the idea of one of them just talking and the other going ''i want to kiss you so badly'' ''what'' ''NOTHING.'' #etc etc. more things you can do with this but i can't make my tag rambles too long

What do y’all think would have happened if Miguel had actually found a dimension where his daughter had become a version of Spider-girl after his alternative self died?

#like its after the universe he traveled too collapses and he sees the pain on her face from finding him dead #and he see himself dying and giving the stereotypical uncle ben or captain speach to her #and can then understand how miles couldn't want to experience that cause despite all his morals and beliefs in that moment he wanted to pop #in and comfort that version of his girl despite the damage it could do #bro what if thats a scene in btsv like them going through a like b version of that earth #and Miguel have a heroic bsod before being like go save him to miles #i love what if and speculations #miguel o'hara #ATSV #across the spiderverse #atsv spoilers #im going to sleep

So back in the day in 7th grade our English teacher had the Gifted Kids in his class make read The Outsiders and then he wanted us to make a short movie based on it and all four of us (there were only four in our grade in the program) has to contribute. I was big into making AMVs at the time so I knew basic video editing and in an effort to not make a fool of myself I front of the other three who were all in the popular crowd I volunteered to edit it. Anyway I never heard of any plans to make this fucker until I came into class one day to see it being played and my name in the credits. I got an A for work I didn’t do because the other kids didn’t like me enough to work with me. I wasn’t even upset i was excluded that’s the easiest A I’ve ever gotten

#mine #that was the year I got bored enough to write essays for other people for free too #and i took AR tests for anyone who was about to come up short #that English teacher fucking HATED me Lmfaoo #I remember one assignment was that we had to do a book report #but for some fucking reason the gifted kids had to memorize and recite the entire snowy road poem #and I was shit at it and didn’t want to so I did a book report for a girl I barely knew because she hadn’t read one and I helped her #present it and everything and the teacher went ‘yes hmm hmm I’m sure you both read that #but cheese you still have to receipt your poem.’ #so I ended up doing twice the work for no fucking reason #I do still have that poem memorized #and the older I get the more I feel the ‘miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep’ tattooed on me #I don’t remember if I put the words ‘want to get’ in that sentence whoops #but I am also still bitter
