yes, it is dan's cologne! i think it's actually his aftershave, but the police misidentified it. you can see rorschach apply it (and then presumably steal it) when he sneaks into daniel's bedroom in chapter 4. Nostalgia being dan's cologne/aftershave is one of the recurring motifs in the comic

god what a weird little dude. peak behavior.

and yes nostalgia (both figurative and literal) is a prominent motif in watchmen in general, although I only noticed Dan's use of it during his arc with Laurie... I mean who can forget the dialogue in the final chapter lmfao. "dan you smell great what is that" "DEODORANT"

Laurie also has a bottle, which she smashes Manhattan's glass house with. there's a scene where Rorschach is putting on his gloves; an ad for nostalgia can be seen in the background. Sally has one. I think Jacobi had one too somewhere, which is why I thought Ror looted it. idk if Hollis is ever shown to have one but his entire story is built on the feeling of nostalgia. his memoirs contain some excellent passages on how this feeling originated from the US participation in WW2, how it was nurtured by the Cold and later Vietnam war, and how it contributed to the cult of superhero. nearly all of the crimebusters are in love with an image of the past and it's poisoning them like a fashionable uranium watch. in this essay I will-

ahem sorry I derailed this. I'm going wild over this detail. I think how it predicts Dan and Ror getting back together (as a team). How it ties into Ror's obsession with apocalypse, his belief being that humanity has no future. How in the first chapters Dan asks 'where did the good times go' but it's actually Ror who can't let go of the past... anon, I need to fucking lie down.

#im so sorry I'm just overwhelmed #the depth #the symbolism #kissing you on both cheeks anon you are everything #anon ask #bullying rorschach #meta #watchmen

Sigh.

I already have too many hyperfixations. Too many.

I just KNOW the MINUTE I watch the new Interview with a Vampire show I'm gonna be obsessed and I cant. Do. That. To. Myself. Again.

WHY IS 2022 SUCH A GOOD YEAR FOR FANDOM SHOWS AND GAY SHIT??

WE USED TO HAVE NOTHING BUT THE SCRAPS THAT SUPERNATURAL THREW AT US WHO SOLD THEIR SOUL FOR THIS?

#I'm not actually complaining #i am so amazed at the FEAST of good fandom shows this year #and next year is looking even better #what with GO2 #OFMD2 #WWDITS5 #god its like getting showered with awesome content after an actual decade of crap #sorry but spn sherlock and even doctor who just had NOTHING on what we got right now #we are truly blessed #but my brain can only focus on one thing at a time and im already overwhelmed!

*fast breathing* TWINS?!!!

IS IT TWINS?!!!

"My dear, why would it be twins? I only cast a spell that forms a singular child, no more or less!"

"Unless something happened that made you change your influence."

"Nah ah, my beloved! I wouldn't have wanted it any other way: one child is quite fine!"

"Oh cut the shit. I'm being serious. A single child wouldn't be developing this quickly with a demonic pregnancy and you know it. You have more knowledge about this topic than I do, so I need you to realize this."

"I took a test to figure out what we're having. You think this is all fun and games, don't you? Well newsflash."

"It's twins. Your. Twins."

Now Alastor doesn't know how to act...this is a joke. Just a farce and nothing more! He knew they were immersed in their roles when the time rolled around, so he laughed it off.

"Oh ho ho, my dear! Good one: my oh my, you always have such a lovely sense of humor."

"...are you kidding me?! You seriously think this is a joke?! I'm being genuine here! We only planned to have one kid, not two at the same time! Why aren't you getting that?!"

Okay, they definitely weren't acting. It was noticeable because how they were tearing up right in front of him. The first time in a while that they genuinely started crying, and it was concerning to Alastor.

"I am not ready for twins, Al! But I can't just abandon them like I was when I was born: I refuse to fail these two! The problem is how the hell are we going to pull this off?! On top of that, I'm going to look huge during this!"

Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit. This was a genuine reaction and fear coming from them, and Alastor felt his heart practically getting shredded into two. Their tears were something that spiked his nerves, and by God he was going to comfort and calm them down. This was not his intention, and he needed to let them know that.

"Double Trouble: my love, I need you to take a breath for me, alright? We are not going to fail them. We will not abandon them. And while you will get bigger, it doesn't diminish how stunning you are. Alright?"

"...alright...I'm sorry, Al..."

"Don't ever be sorry, darling. I love you. And we'll get through this...we're having two children: more to love, you know? And rest assured, I promise you..."

"I won't leave you for a minute. I swear on my afterlife."

//BONUS//:

"YOU CALLED IT?!"

"I WAS JOKING, I DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO ACTUALLY HAVE TWINS!!!"

Hey Uncle Nina! I hope this doesn't sound rude, but why aren't you on AO3 anymore? I miss you :(

hi, anon! no this is not rude at all -- that is a very valid question! plus, it can be really confusing and disheartening when an author that you follow on ao3 randomly stops posting! i totally, totally get it! <3 :')

but for me, at least, posting my updates onto ao3 got suuuper stressful and unpleasant. like literally shredded my mental health.

but this!!! this is Fun for me <3 :) there's just somethin abt tumblr, idk.

i was holding myself to all these standards on ao3, stressing myself the fuck out...& i know i'm not supposed to delete the asks i respond to, but its nice that if i feel that compulsion, i can delete stuff/edit it without it being this big, gigantic thing i'm tampering w/.

...because an ask disappearing when i'm anxious is a bummer, but me deleting Entire Chapters and possibly entire fanfictions because of panic attacks i got...due largely in part to the ungodly Stress i incurred while writing them? not cute.

also, it was a little different when style/sp was super popular on ao3 and there were new fanfics/updates for stories everyday so when you posted something, it was very low stakes and if you just gave the tags a couple hours, your fic could be washed away onto page 2/3...

...but ohHHHHH my god its so SLOW right now!!! that i shit you not updates are sitting on the front page for like multiple days??? which is nice for people that want exposure ( and deserve it tbh! ) but a large part of the ao3 posting stress was me...watching my fic get views and not get kudosed or commented on so...if i was updating rn, i would be in hell. and i'm already in hell 25/8 doing my damn job.

which! i'm a working lady! i'm very busy and stressed! running a tumblr blog is waaaay less stressful than constantly updating a fanfiction tbh. and whats more? this is stress relieving for me. <333

i enjoy this little community of people who like my content on tumblr. its less vulnerable than a03 and way less aggressive than twitter. fr. you guys are super nice to me on here and i never feel stressed or pressured ever to post stuff. <33 its really fun for me to be able to answer really super specific questions about my fanfic for people who are actively seeking out that information! like its very...curated.

and its very specific in terms of my fanfics/ncuniverse stuff, but its nice for me because i can post a variety of diff content! like i can post up my little para things, snippets of dialogue, be silly and goofy in my ask memes, but also really serious in my ask memes, i can be in depth or mysterious, sad, funny, happy, really weird like idk you guys, i really enjoy the freedom i have on here to...create without limits? ig

it feels like i can give you a shit ton of information in different mediums without having to update my fanfics, like, idk, i guess its probably not as exciting to see my ask meme answers as it is to get fanfic updates, but i try to make them like little updates, yknow? it was also really annoying to have to keep you guys in the dark abt stuff in my fics/ideas i have bc i...havent updated, so now its like!! i can tell you stuff again which!!! AAAA!!! makes me so happy omg

but yeah, sorry for the sudden switch. sorry for not really writing but...this is much better for me. i feel a lot safer and comfortable doing this. i like answering my ask memes...i like talking to yall. in terms of my fanfics, i'm not entirely sure what that means...like if i'm going to update on ao3 or if i'm gonna just post experimental updates or pieces of my fics on here? if i'm just gonna tell all my stories thru elaborate answers to ur questions...

idk! IDK! and thats okay. i am having fun and i hope you have fun. thats all that matters. <3

-uncle nina in her healing idgaf era

#sorry tldr #ao3 was stressful #i dont like twitter #i like tumblr i like doing my asks i like answering ur specific questions and idk i feel like we built a lovely community on here #where like u guys ask me stuff u wanna know and i tell u idk i feel like we are having a little book club i like it here #i like that i can like make ooc posts like hey guys what do we think about the style yuri? when im off 3 ciders #or that i can in depth describe scenes to you through the hc asks and you get that info but in a less stressful and formal way #than it would be if i had to write that up as a para #but then the freedom to write para things or long form stuff or even just dialogue and post that to a group of people who are excited 4 it #like theres just so much possibility and its very low stakes #if i get overwhelmed answering the big ask memes i can take a break w/o consequence or do less serious asks #i can shoot you guys ideas and also talk about my life in a safe place where i feel supported #i can drop you guys experimental stuff i'm worried about and have it received by people who will be kind to me abt it in ways i am not ofte #with myself idk like this blog seriously saved my life a little #and i am very happy here and i love you guys and i love my stupid tumblr abt my stupid au style fics with the best readers in the world #i hope people are okay with me being a tumblr primary ff retired for now girlie i'm sorry if thats upsetting but i also try to keep it cute #on here like i feel like we can just do so much more like this and i can talk to you guys and be so specific idk i love this sm

Anyone else go through each work day with a feeling of crushing defeat and despair that you try to drown out with caffeine and fast paced movement, cause there's an abundance of calls and not enough people to take care of them? And so it's just an overwhelming cycle of being a little numb and a little devastated over being unable to run a system that was never set up to succeed in the first place

#sorry that got real... Real y'all #I'm just feelinf very stressed and overwhelmed with my job and other life stuff but my job specifically #and if anyone will ask the job im referring to is healthcare #and more specifically being a fill in sup for a horrendously understaffed hospital housekeeping dept #i feel like I'm drowning under the weight of too much responsibility #and my head feels like its going yo literally split open like it hurts so bad #hmmm vent ////#heavy topic ?

being sick is so expensive dude, it's not even just the missing work, but on top of random meds and food you have to buy cause it's all you can eat the groceries you bought the day BEFORE you got sick for a week just end up fucking going bad so even when you're finally well enough to function it's just. more purchases that shouldn't have been necessary.

brb revenge fighting my stupid body behind a denny's.

#the gall of food tbh #complaining on main again im sorry but i just had to throw out so much food and im sad #SO MUCH u know like. half a gallon of milk and half a chicken breast. life ending.#im sleepy and petty ok #good news the weird cake i bought for christmas is fine #because it's like 75% sugar #had to throw out like three servings of soup i made last week too cause it was too complicated for my stupid body #i AM feeling better #for the record #just tired and overwhelmed cause i decided to check these things immediately after waking up #we dont get paid til the third either lmao i'm going to get dinged late for my car payment cause im a dumbass #really gonna regret taking monday off no matter how dying i was #rambletag #i don't want to go to the stooooore but i jhst threw away like. most of what i was gonna eat this weekend.

Okay I'm home now and i can fully and freely type. Anyway mild spoilers for into the spiderverse i guess?

❌❌❌

Anyway uh. Yeah it... It was a tiny bit of a disappointment. It didn't do it for me at all. I feel like this movie is more of an art exhibit and i mean that as a fucking insult. Like sure the animation fucks my ears are ringing and my head aches horribly (that's on me for thinking i can be autistic and watch this on theaters) but like, the story man? It just so much (DEROGATORY).

It commits the sin a lot of spiderman movies make and that is that it bit more than it could chew. Not because they're bad at handling a complex story, but because they tried to juggle like 5 at once. And that never fucking works (my ear is still ringing and it hurts I'm in pain rn -_+ just wanted y'all to know)

Like it introduced SO FUCKING MUCH and it all was cool yeah! Just like electro was cool, and Harry, and Gwen, and captain Stacy. You know what in trying to fucking say? There's only so much you can do in 2 hours and you can just throw all you have all at once at the viewer because all you'll do is leave them disappointed wanting for more of that.

I feel like a baby. They show me this cool thing but nuh uh! Enough of that! Here's this new cool thing! But nuh uh! Enough of that- and so on. Like there were so many cool characters and ideas and concepts and shit but it could barely balance it all. YOU KNOW HOW BAD I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF THE SPOT?! HE BARELY WAS HERE!

It's like, you cannot fucking make a whole movie as the introduction to your next movie. That just sucks. You're setting yourself up for failure.

Like I'm just so upset bc it was full of amaizing things but it didn't fucking deliver in any of them!!!! And God don't get me started on the references. I think this was one of the worst ways to fill your movie with references. Like at least let me fucking process what I'm seeing if you are gonna waste so much time here, but also just... Don't make it so fucking blatant.

Like man i... This was a very experimental spiderman movie which i appreciate in a way but... It's not what I was expecting. To me, personally, it was disappointing. And also not designed at ALL to watch on cinemas. I think that last bit is just a fact.

I'm just kinda sad man. Like i loved Miles and Gwen's drama and i loved Miguel but I also wanted to see more of, you know, THE WHOLE FUCKING NEW CAST AND THE NEW FUCKING VILLAIN THEY INTRODUCED BUT SHOWED ONLY FOR LIKE 2-3 SEGMENTS MAX???????

LIKE HANDS ON HEAD EMOJI WHAT WERE THEY DOINGGGGG 😭😭😭😭
