the authentic 2011 indie kid playlist

"real 2011 pandora radio recreation: the songs that always played on my hypercurated matt and kim radio, is this it radio, and pumped up kicks radio a.k.a. the authentic 2009-2012 indie kid playlist (ft. my actual authentic 2011 facebook profile pic)"

including full liner notes (typed out below the cut for readability):

- for @justrustandstardust <3

Daylight - Matt and Kim: one of the most iconic songs of my teenage years. I feel like me and Michael based our life off this song. Matt and Kim is one of the bases for the radio stations I picked for this playlist (the ones I listened to constantly). There will be more Matt and Kim on this playlist, but not enough. You really should listen to this whole album (this will not be the last time I say this)

Kids - MGMT: everyone knows electric feel. I picked the underrated classics I was obsessed with after I loved electric feel

Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: a staple. so silly, but so iconic

Midnight City - M83: the first of the songs that I only listened to on Pandora & never learned the names/artists. also, became car commercial songs. banger

Is This It - The Strokes: you simply must listen to this album. half of it is on the playlist, but still you must. This album is the second base of a radio station.

Automatic Stop - The Strokes: listen, there's gonna be a lot of Strokes on this playlist. I fell in love with them listening to this radio station.

Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second - STRFKR: the second of the Pandora exclusives. why is it named that? so iconin

Float On - Modest Mouse: as classic as classics get

Hard to Explain - The Strokes: I found this album at the library and picked it up based on the album art alone. this was back when I got all my music from the library & burned cds onto my computer to make mix cds, listen in windows media player, or upload to my ipod nano

Flourescent Adolescent - Arctic Monkeys: we're in the pre "AM" era! their back catalog is so fucking good, and this is one of the best examples of that. I love this song

Soma - The Strokes: it's gonna be a lot of Strokes. trust me, it's authentic to the experience

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand: ICONIC BANGER.

Breezeblocks - alt-J: (so groovy) another Pandora exclusive. mainstay on the channel. like these songs would play every 30 mins & I loved it

Lessons Learned - Matt and Kim: it was so impossible to pick from this album it's all so good. let it turn your love into a coming of age movie

Sleeping Lessons - The Shins: The SHINS bro THE SHINS. every indie movie had the Shins on their soundtrack. They're so good.

Here (In Your Arms) - Hellogoodbye: listen I didn't want to pick their most popular song but it's so definitive I had to. I saw them live like 4 times. This album is so important to me. All my love songs for my 13 yr old relationship came from this album

Crystalised - The xx: not a listening session would go by that I wouldn't hear this song

All My Friends - LCD Sound System: he's so good

Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend: THIS ALBUM IS SUMMER 2011. it was one of 2 or 3 go to CDs in my first car. I listened to it over and over and over again. it always brings me back to my ugly brown 2001 Chevy Malibu outside Michael's house, or driving down to the lake. I seriously couldn't pick songs from this album it's all one big song to me. formative. what else can i say.

Time to Pretend - MGMT: I'm feeling rough I'm feeling wrong in the time of my life. underrated classic

Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club: the opening to this song gets me so hype! I know you'll like this song

Dragon Queen - Yeah Yeah Yeahs: you know Heads Will Roll but did you know this underrated banger? they're awesome, their other songs should get more attention

All I Want - LCD Sound System: he's just really good idk

That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings: we were obsessed with them. this song was everywhere

Story Problem - The Envy Corps: for the longest time I didn't know any names to Envy Corps songs because I mostly listened to them live, on a mix cd, or someone else was playing them. so i always got surprised by each song like, oh! I love this one! to be honest I still don't know the titles lol but every song is so damn iconic. at the concerts they would split the audience in half and have half of us do the "dada dada dadada da da da" part and the other half do the "oooooh wa oh wa oh" so you were singing your part throught the end of the song while they played. it was so magical <3

All Time Lows - Hellogoodbye: underrated banger. this album is like the definitive electronic indie sound of the mid-aughts

Somebody Told Me - The Killers: incredible song, incredible band. mainstay. they're so much more than Mr. Brightside

(starting the list over bc of tumblr's character limits. add 50)

Reptilia - The Strokes

Someday - The Strokes

Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes: listen, this is accurate to how often they would play on that station. just Strokes back to back. and I loved it. their discography is just that deep. they don't miss.

Fell In Love With a Girl - The White Stripes: had to get some Whte Stripes in here. had to.

New Slang - The Shins: this song and Caring Is Creepy just, so iconic. they're so good

The World At Large - Modest Mouse: gonna float on maybe would you understand. ah ah ah ah ah ah aah (dashboard by modest mouse should also be on here but i couldn't find a spot for it :( played all the time) my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth <3<3<3

Black Balloon - The Kills: does anyone remember the kills? I wanted to be them so bad. this was the era of iconic indie duos (ting tings, matt & kim, white stripes, she & him...)

When Did Your Heart Go Missing - Rooney: one hit wonders, my beloved

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You - Black Kids: I'm convinced no one listened to this song but us. that's not true, and thank god cuase it's such a bop but we felt like we were in on a secret or something. the true 2010 hipster experience lol

Kid Gloves - The Envy Corps: I would literally put this song on a t work and walk around like I was a manic pixie dream girl in an indie movie. unironically amazing song tho (listen to the ep)

Henrietta - The Fratellis: there should have been four more of their songs on here. broke my heart to cut them

Phantom Limb - The Shins: I don't think I've said listen to the album on this one yet. the way this song just vibrates in you

Naive - The Kooks: another underrepresented band. She Moves In Her Own Way, Ooh La, Seaside!? all staples. I mean... if you need another album to listen to... im just sayin

Finer Feelings - Spoon: a bop. fun song <3

Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys: this was my first Arctic Monkeys song <3<3<3 forever. the coda is everything. god I love this song

Such Great Heights - Iron & Wine: listen, the original song by The Postal Service is so so so good and we listened to it just as much as this cover. this cover had us in a chokehold. go listen to the original tho. and the whole Postal Service album I promise it's so fundamental

Janglin - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: the last of the three iconic ES&TMZs songs. This is like the progenitor of Stomp Clap corporate indie. everyone wanted to be them

Tighten Up - The Black Keys: the opening base notes on this song make me go feral. there should be way more Black Keys on here but if you have to pick one this is an easy choice.

Last Nite - The Strokes: the most iconic Strokes song. try not to scraem the first words. you can't. Last Night!

Australia - The Shins: time to put ear covers on! just makes me smile :)

All These Things That I've Done - The Killers: got us screaming "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" (are we human or are we dancers is also the killers. icons of the era)

Two Weeks In Hawaii - Hellogoodbye: I felt so bad when your mom caught us eating ice cream in your room at three in the morning. the best parts of my adolescence consolidated in this incredible song. the first of this type of album closing song to deeply affect me (followed by only in dreams by weezer in college). coming back to this album was part of me coming out of my depression last summer. my inner child just lives here, and I love her so much <3

A Certain Romance - Artctic Monkeys: I don't know, this song just gives me warm feelings. I know every shape of this song. I'm pretty sure it's about how America is a cultural wasteland lol. over there there's friends of mine, what can I say I've known em for a long long time, and it might over step the line, but you just cannot get angry in the same way, no not in the same way.

Daylight Outro (Remix) - Matt and Kim: back where we started. thx for listening <3

Sonet of a Singularity

Context before reading

- Nobody here is supposed to have a name in this chapter

- This world is inspired from various time periods, but cars and complex electricity doesnt exist yet other than lightbulbs somehow.

- The style of clothing choices and surroundings and such are inspired by the Renaissance period, classical things, and a few other inspirations

"Sir, its been an hour." An older female voice said outside the room said through the thick white and gold patterned doors, voice being muffled but still audble to the figure inside. The maid stood outside waiting for a response and after a moment of silence and shuffling that could be heared, a young male voice called back.

CHAPTER 1 - Downfall

It was not often that there was any events being held, especially when the people questioned your families leadership. This time was different. Loud 'Ratatat' of a rhythmical knock to the chamber door was met with a loud grumble from within.

"Right, thank you! ... I'll be out in 30, do let them know if you can." The voice trailed off in volume as it spoke, and the asistant walked off.

Soon after within the chamber, a thin figure would pull himself half groggily from silk sheets. The only lighting in the room was dim lights that came out from the windows and from underneath the door. Slipping out, the figure went over and flicked on the lights, flinching and slightly recoiling at the sudden bright light. He would eventually adjust, now more awake. A mirror was by the door, in which he inspected himself briefly. The ruffled dark ginger hair that bordered on the color brown, tangled in a mass from the nap. A daily a pain really. The dark gray blue eyes that bordered on silver didn't do much to complament his look, nor did the faint freckles from the very minimal sun exposure his parents let him have. He paced over to the wardrobe.

Tonight was the night they were going to announce to the people that his unloving parents that he oh-so dispised wanted to marry him to someone he didn't know nor cared about, for their own wealth and gain. It made him feel sick in disgust just thinking about it. So tonight he had his own plans instead.

The Prince put on his more casual and what he had considered to be bland clothes; a white shirt with a small v cut at the neck that was tied up with string, whilst the cuffs of the sleeves held tight to the body but the rest hung down. And his pair of archery pants, tight to the body but plenty of movement available with it. He stopped and looked in the mirror and thought it may still be too flashy to blend in and grabbed a black cloak from the closet that his family gave to him for a funeral when he refused to change into black. He popped on his shoes which had been in the closet behind the mirror. Afterwards the Prince went to his window and peered at the drop below. It was not high enough to break any bones if he jumped, but he could definitely get hurt, so he cautiously prepared to jump before hearing a knock on his door, in which he pulled himself back and hesitantly responded.

"Yes? What is it?" The Prince could hear angry yelling down the hall from behind the doors from voices your unfamiliar with as he said that. Nonetheless, your family's maid seemed to be calm about it.

"Your mother wishes you to hurry up, the crowed is getting impaGH-" her voice was cut short with a loud thud that pushed against the bedroom door with angry voices and loud footsteps being heared from what he knew was the hall. The Prince took it as a sign to run.

He would land on his feet and throw on the cloak, rushing to get away from his lifelong prison and hopefully be able to dip and blend into the crowed as soon as he found a main town. He would follow the railing of the back door of the mansion that would usually be covered in guards but currently lacked any, and ran across the courtyard. The courtyard was covered in plants that had been maintained to cover everything in a particular way, some bushes cut into animals. He eventually slipped past the bush and climbed over the metal fence with some effort.

Making it onto the street, he walked away towards the city, only to be met with a bothering sight. The balcony in which the royal money-brained bastard parental figures would make announcements on to the people was flooded with townsfolk, and you could tell from the people passing you with random but dangerous items, heading the same direction: the castlhe'll. The prine saw a mother with a knife, leading two children under the age of 6 that each held unlit torches. The people where revolting, and he could only assume that everyone, even the servents that barely got paid themselves would have gotten into the crossfire. The prince could only pause and stare in disbelief? sorrow? Guilt? He didn't know for the swirling unsettling jumble of emotions made him turn and walk quickly into town. The faster he could get to the train station or get a horse, the faster he can escape from this hell.

He held his cloak tight as he moved down the streets of houses, some newly renovated while most old and being warn down, moss and missing tiles from the roofs of most houses. He almost passed by a shop familiar to him, but made himself stop and decided to enter. The prince adjusted his cloak's hood to make sure his face was hidden from any costumers that may also stop by, however the shop owner he knew. It was the family of his archery teacher, particularly ran by a girl around his age and her mom. Sometimes he and the girl would do training together, and they were good rivals. He was extremely grateful that his teacher had convinced his parents, who never let him go outside on a sunny day, let him learn archery to begin with.

Realizing that he had been reminiscing for too long, his focus readjusted to process that he had been staring at a collection of various chandeliers that hung from the ceiling in front of shelves of different assorted items that stood at the front of the store. He walks down the isle to the cashier to see it was his friend, and waved.

"Hello! Do you need any... wait a minute.." she leaned forward onto the counter and peered into the Princes eyes, in which upon sudden realization she went wide eyed gasped "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!?!!"

The Prince sighed and almost responded before the door opened with a telltale ring, in which the girl looked at him, looked at the direction of the door, and hopped off the counter, going around the register to the Princes side.

"Yes, we have plenty of antique masks, they should be down this isle if you could follow me?" She played off her shock and he could only assume that she wanted him to protect his identity. He followed, the steps of the other costumer making him admittedly nervous.

She brought him up to the isle and grabbed a white mask with two dots overlapping where the nose should be, top one teal while the bottom spot as a dark turquoise. She handed the mask to him, as it was surprisingly soft in his hands, white rope attached to each side of the face to tie behind the head. She than suddenly grabbed the Prince by the hood and yanked him down to her level, whispering to him in his face.

" Once you get out of town, never come back. Do not look for me or return here again. " She quietly hissed a him as he nodded, than stepped back and put back on her fake charade "Why don't you try it on! See if it fits before you buy it yeah?" She winked.

He nod and put it on, tying the mask tightly behind his head as it was comfortable enough, though the visibility was a bit bad.

" Good yeah?" His friend said "If you like to pay for it here you can! No need to walk to the area back there since I'm right here anyways." She waited a few seconds in silence with you, the footsteps were on the other side of the isle. "Excellent, this'll do! Thank you for shopping with us!" You took that as a cue to leave, walking towards the entrance, only peeking a passing glance at the person before the figure lunged at him.

He only felt pain for a few seconds, being shoved against a mirror, and a loud pop that came afterwards.

He felt only a little pain before the world cut black

And yet he refused to die

--End of chapter 1--

End note

This is my first tike writing stuff like this in a while, so any corrections you notice that may be needed, feel free to lmk.

This chapter was supposed to be short, and for those who know my ocs, this is the reminant that caused the creation of Wake.

For those who know nothing about my ocs, it's better if I don't spoil anything until I write it, but this tory will have so many arcs down the line its not even funny.

"This story revolves around the event of the lowest point in my life and my experiences during those times."

It all started in the third month of the year 2020 when the Philippines is starting its first COVID-19 lockdown. At the time it didn’t really bother me when the schools were shut down, because at that time I thought “nice ka walay klase”. My peers and I were very happy because all of our pending tasks to be passed during our class were canceled and we were sent home because of the nationwide lockdown, meaning we have more time to relax and enjoy our stay at home. During that time I have a relationship with someone that is still going strong and we continued it during the lockdown without knowing that a storm is brewing and is making its way like a wrecking ball. 3 months have passed and all the stress of staying in the house is appearing, even though there isn’t a main stressor at that time only the sound of *bang* *bang* *bang* *ratatat* of my parent’s mouth and the only thing I know that is bothering me is the thought of being alone without the presence of my friends around me. June, this is the start of my trip down the ladder and into the start of my lowest point. Things started going sideways between me and my relationship, like all relationships, there is a certain point in time that your conversation will start getting cold and you feel like it wasn’t like before, and ours wasn’t different. Our conversation was always cut short and I feel like we were just making excuses not to talk to each other by saying we got up late or that we did something and were just busy. My problems started to pile up and with the upcoming of her birthday, things weren’t going any better.

Two weeks in July before her birthday I already started racking my brain and shaking it round and round in search of a birthday gift along with the thought that I was still here and is ready to fix our problems. I didn’t ask her what she wants because we still weren’t going along well and I was afraid to ask, I was thinking of a necklace with a hidden message while wearing it but I settled for a cake and balloons because she mentioned that she isn’t preparing food for her birthday.

The day came, and carrying my gifts and the gifts I am carrying I stood outside their house waiting for her. She was surprised when she opened their gates and I was glad because it was a long time since she was happy together with me. When I came home our conversation went well and it was starting to look like we were back, a big sigh of relief was released knowing that I fix it somehow. But boy was I wrong. After our monthsary passed, that day we didn’t do anything special nor talked because she said she wasn’t feeling like it a surge of butterflies came fluttering in my stomach, and thought this isn’t going to end well. Sure enough a few days have passed we cut and separated ways because I couldn’t take it anymore I did not leave her and she did not leave me we just agreed together to cut ways.

The following days and months, I felt the weight of all my problems in my back, I felt that the days are just repeating. Days to hours, hours to minutes, and minutes to seconds. Things were blurry and dark I felt down always even with the company of my friends around me things weren’t going any better. But making a stupid mistake like that just can’t sit in my mind idly and I started talking again to her and her talking back to me like nothing had ever happened between us. January came in the new year of 2021, not gonna lie it was the worst new year I have ever celebrated because in that day it was supposed to be our anniversary we talked thing out but didn’t really made any mutual progress and it was just full of rubbish.

Days after that I just ignored her and kept my feelings to my self and myself to my feelings. But still I talked to her because we promised we would still be friends. We graduated and I decided to transfer schools without saying a proper goodbye. Things got even more worse for me because of the new environment in my new school and not to mention the pile of schoolwork I have to pass in each of the subjects. October in the year 2021, there was this show that I really loved named “arcane” based on one of my favorite video games called League of Legends and as a fan of this gold of a series I wanted to talk to someone about how great this show is but no one had watched it yet. And to my surprise, she was also watching the show and is a fan of the series. I quickly messaged her and shared our thoughts about it. Months passed we were still talking and thought to myself maybe this time we can get back together and fix things to the things they were. I maintained my presence till December that year because I was still hoping. A weight was lifted in my back. After Christmas, she started going cold again but I still maintained it until January 1 so that I can tell her again “that can we maybe fix this”. New year came, it was just like last year, full of rubbish. That day I started saying my goodbyes for real this time and I told her that I will not bother her again and that she can live easy now that she can’t cry because of me. January was a good month I started letting go slowly but surely even though there is still a new semester to survive I felt great knowing that I am moving on.

I was invited by my close girl-friend in my peers to her debut. And even though she was going to be there also, I am confident that I will be just fine. February 25 was the day of her debut and sure enough she was there but she was looking a little bit sad and down maybe it was because of the fact that I was also there but maybe I was just imagining things and that there is no way she is still thinking about me. When I got home after I fixed myself, I went straight to bed because it was an exhausting day. *Ting* A messenger message notification alarmed me just when I was preparing to go to sleep. I was surprised when I opened my phone because it was her who messaged me after 2 months. She said that she still got feelings for me I was flattered and don’t know what to say. I said, “what now?” she said “there is no what now”, she said that she just said she still likes me but has no plans on going to a relationship again. I was really confused but happy at the same time knowing that we can share our days again. Fast forward to September this year, 2022. I can’t help but question myself if this is the right thing to do, chase someone who has clearly no intentions of going into a relationship again but still likes me. Because in the past months it has been a wave of emotions and we were just repeating things again and again, over and over.

music recs bls. preferably nothin by straight men but based on ur entire vibe i dont think i have to worry abt that lol

ok firstly, please PLEASE listen to G.L.O.S.S., they only have one album but it FUCKS. (also i don't know Dyke Drama as well but its Sadie Switchblade from G.L.O.S.S.' solo work and the album I bought was really good) (EDITED TO ADD A READMORE BC HOLY SHIT)

also, basic queer punk hours here but Against Me! is always, always worth it. laura jane grace my hero and beloved

Neighborhood Brats is a female fronted punk band. Actually, Dirt Cult Records has a number of pretty cool artists - I can't speak to all their gender/sexualities but their music is good. Dan Padilla (the band not the man lmao), Needles//Pins, Dead Years, Postage and, Feral Trash. I can't remember if Dear Landlord and Shallow Cuts are with Dirt Cult (i dont THINK so) but I do know they overlap with Dan Padilla.

Fangbanger is a really cool pop-ish punk band, and I haven't been into real pop punk in a long time but I really like them. Troll 2 is kind of folk punk, and by the tone of this ask I think you'd like them. i have a few Propoghandi songs i like (thrash punk), if you like ska you like Streetlight Manifesto. The Muslims and Fea my roommate got me into and both are really cool punk bands - the muslims is a queer poc crunchy punk band and fea is a san antonio based latina all female band. Ramshackle Glory is an anarchist punk band. GOGOL BORDELLO HOW COULD I FORGET YOU romani punk band from lower east side manhattan. i had a Sainte Catherine's cd on repeat for like 4 months straight when i was a teenager and honestly i was so valid for that.

and of course theres always the ramones, the replacements, husker du, the minutemen, the dead kennedys, black flag, the menzingers, etc.

Leaving punk, I know I just commented on a post about basic music but i really do like Florence + The Machine. Rip. The Amazing Devil is a bit, like, well the dude from the Witcher is in it so that says something but sometimes I want a song I can soulfully and really awfully sing along to. My roommate got me into Gloryhammer, so like, if you want weird ass concept metal albums, there u go. i recently remembered Luca Turilli (also known as Rhapsody and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody) exists, i was OBSESSED with these metal songs as a kid. oingo boingo is weird. i also really like Trocadero (shut up shut upppp i know its the red vs blue band but they do have cool music let me live). be steadwell and Grace Petrie are very queer, if thats what youre after. Palehound is kinda indie but some of thier songs get stuck in my head really easily. Ratatat is an electronic band that fits nothing else in this post but. a vibe. i had an Unwoman phase as a kid after that Night Vale Weather.

some single songs i really like but know less about the artist, of scattered genres: Who Wears The Pants?? by Soko, My Gap Feels Weird by Superchunk, Numbers (I Can Only Count To Four) by Psychostick (hehehe), For an Old Kentucky Anarchist by The Orphans, Sober Intentions by Apes of the State, Coffee God and Cigarettes by Mischief Brew, I'm Against the Government by Defiance Ohio, You're Not The Only Bear I Fisted by Schmekel, Butch In The Streets by Tribe 8, Deep Love by Lady Lamb, Dark Days by Pup, Racing Stripes by Aesop Rock, Old Number Seven by The Devil Makes Three, I'm So Sick by Flyleaf, I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore by Lucy Dacus, Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo, Devil's Point by Wicked Shallows, TKO by Le Tigre, Transvestites Can Be Cannibals Too by Harley Poe, Providence by Poor Man's Poison, and Wildflowers by Gouge Away.

this was ABSOLUTELY more than you asked for but i thought about music and got really excited, im sorry. also again i dont know how many of these artists are cishet men but also like, i like them and IM neither cis nor het so

#m text #i could tag all these bands. im not going to.

Laughing at my insecurities

Day 37 - Dec 12th, 12.023

Another small post because I'm with a headache, since I didn't use my pomodoro timer, and now I'm tired.

It's not news that I have anxiety and insecurity, I mentioned it a lot in these posts, and it's obvious how it affects my life and productivity. Yesterday I had an attack because of all the thoughts and feelings that didn't got out of my mind, about how much I'm not spending time with people, how I wasted this year, how I didn't try hard enough and didn't do anything this year. I cried, a lot, and unfortunately worried my girlfriend which was in bed with me trying to give me comfort and someone to talk to.

That feelings passed, sometimes you just need to let it out for things to be better, and a lot of it I also thank my girlfriend for being with and supporting me even when seeing me in that state hurts a lot to her. I wanted to be better and have less of these attacks, but now that I'm in a somewhat new stage of my life and mind, things still hard.

So today, after all of that happening, I woke up and continued my day as usual, and one of the tasks for today was writing a script for a video that I need to do in the coming weeks. This video is something special to me, like this daily journal, and it always makes me reflect in myself a little while writing and making it. I needed to write something talking about how this year was and just an overview of it, somehow I was able to make it a little more upbeat, because being honest I learned a lot of things this year. And it kinda just placed me in a good mood.

After finishing the script, I close it and open my daily note to check the task's checkbox to mark it as done. And while seeing the note and thinking on what to do next, I look at this little heat calendar that I have of the year, showing much work I did in a day and how much I followed my routine (the brighter the green, the better):

...

.......

HOW THE FUCK THIS WAS A BAD YEAR?!?!?!?! This doesn't look like a bad one, THIS WASN'T A BAD YEAR!!

And immediately after that, I started to have a laugh attack and couldn't stop. Literally all that insecurity started to feel like a joke, I couldn't believe how much I actually worked this year and how much I was blinding myself.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!

How I could consider this a bad year?!?! Go fuck yourself Gustavo, my fucking god lol.

After seeing and showing to my girlfriend, she literally just sent me this:

---

That's it for today.

Also, as a little update, I didn't get the job that I applied yesterday.

Today's artists & creative things

Song: Abrasive - by Ratatat I don't know if it makes sense to recommend it again here, but for me, it does.

La Danse Macabre

Episode 20

Chapter Index

20-1: A Flight of Freedom (1)

Libel: .......

Arme: Libel! Libel!!! You're bleeding so much..!

Qual: ...Celestial.

Qual: I've disposed of the devil who was putting strange ideas into your head.

Qual: Let us return home. To our Ark.

Arme: .......

Qual: Why... Why do you not respond..?

Qual: Did we not spend most of our lives together?

Arme: Yes, we did... Until I turned fifteen, and your duty as my attendant ended, you were always by my side...

Qual: Exactly... I've watched over you from since you were an infant.

Qual: It was my duty to keep you safe. And...

Qual: I... I even consider myself your closest friend.

Arme: ......!

Qual: Only I can understand your loneliness! None can know you like I, after all the years I've spent with you...

Qual: Least of all some worm from the Surface, whose breeding and upbringing are nothing like ours..!

Arme: My friend..? Did you really just call yourself my friend..?

Qual: Yes, I--

Arme: Then... answer me. Qual, have you...

Arme: Have you ever called me by my name, even once?

Qual: Pardon..?

Arme: You think yourself my friend..?

Arme: There was never friendship in your eyes when you looked at me...

Qual: ......!

Arme: And I even wanted you to become my friend, all those years!

Qual: B-but...

Arme: .......

Qual: N-no..! Celesti--

Qual: ...Ah...

Arme: Hah... haha.

Arme: It's simply not possible, Qual. The people of the Ark don't even see me as a person.

Qual: .......

Arme: We can never be friends. Not for as long as that remains true.

Arme: Cura taught me many things, because I was so ignorant.

Arme: Fuga got angry with me, but it gave me a chance to argue with someone.

Arme: As for Libel... He called me Arme.

Arme: Do you understand, Qual..? He was the first person to ever use my name.

Qual: ........

Arme: Those three are the only people I consider friends. It has nothing to do with how long we've been together.

Qual: .....!!! Ah... Aaah...

Qual: So it was all... presumption on my part..? You never..?

Arme: Inside that white room in the church, I'd ponder my reason for being born.

Arme: I never found the answer, until I came down to the Surface.

Arme: If my existence truly is special, then I want to use my power to help my friends and their beloved home.

Qual: I... I...

Qual: I don't...

Qual: Aaaaaahhhh!!!

Arme: So, Qual--!

Qual: No... no! This has to be some kind of mistake...

Qual: Hahaha... Ahahahaha...

Arme: .......!

Qual: The Celestial would never call lowly Surface dwellers his friends...

Arme: You're just forcing your ideals on me, Qual!!!

Qual: ...SILENCE!!!

[Clang]

Qual: !!!

Libel: ...I got woken up by all your yelling.

Arme: Libel..!

Qual: ...How many times!?

Qual: How many times are you going to get in my WAY!!!

[Clang]

Libel: ......!

[Ratatat]

Schau: That's enough.

20-2: A Flight of Freedom (2)

Libel: Tsk..!

Qual: Schau...

Schau: While you were talking, we blocked every possible exit from here.

Schau: Game over.

Libel: .......

Schau: Libel, was it?

Schau: To tell you the truth, I don’t give a damn about the Celestial or the Surface. Just the thought of having to get any more involved in this annoys me.

Schau: And it looks like our newly appointed vice commander won't stop until you're dead.

Schau: Your very existence is a thorn in my side. Just die already.

Libel: ...Arme, are you ready?

Arme: Yes. Though I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Arme: I trust you.

Libel: ...You're the best.

Schau: !?

Libel: Hold on to me as hard as you can, Arme!

Arme: I will!

Schau: It's no use. The only thing over there is the cliff... wait, don't tell me!?

Qual: S-stop! Libel!

Qual: Schau! Shoot him!

Schau: That's the... plan!

[Bang]

Libel: Ugh..!

Schau: Tsk! Missed the head!

Libel: I'm gonna jump, Arme!!!

Arme: Hahaha! I'm so scared! And yet..!

Arme: Do it, Libel!!!

Qual: Stop... Stop it...

Qual: Don't take the Celestial from me..!

Qual: STOOOOP!!!

Libel: Aaaaargh!!!

- - - -

Cura: I wonder if they managed to get away...

Cura: ......! Coff... coff...

Cura: Huh? Blood..? What's going on here..?

- - - -

Fuga: No... help... It hurts... it hurts..!

Fuga: ......! ...Just a dream..?

Fuga: Ah... Why, why..?

Fuga: Why didn't you save me... Libel..?

Fuga: Aaaaaahhhh!!!

- - - -

Reue: ...I see. Thanks for letting me know.

Reue: Okay. Leave cleaning up to your subordinates and come back to the Ark.

Leiden: Commander Reue. Who was that? Schau?

Reue: Yep. He was just reporting back.

Reue: The Celestial is missing. He fell from a cliff, and could even be presumed dead.

Leiden: Hmm.

Leiden: So it's over.

Reue: Yeah, sure is. This is what you get when you start throwing tantrums.

Reue: Qual is to be confined indefinitely.

20-3: Time Moves Once Again

Misericorde: Qual failed and the Celestial is missing...

Misericorde: I see. How very interesting...

[Door opens]

Misericorde: No changes...

Misericorde: He should remain alive, as the transfer has yet to occur.

Misericorde: The Celestial, sullied...

Misericorde: Perhaps 'tis time for a shift in plans.

- - - -

Eternea: I see... so you've chosen the Surface in the end.

Eternea: Heh, perhaps even I ought to ready myself.

Eternea: ...Arme.

- - - -

Vida: ...Hey. What do you guys think?

Vida: What should I do? How can I repay you? What do you want from me..?

Vida: ...Our numbers are going down. We can't stop it.

[Whooosh]

Vida: .......

Vida: I see... Figures...

Vida: It's been a long time coming.

Vida: This way, we'll be able to grant Placer's wish. We'll take all his pain and send it back...

Vida: ...We'll take the skies.

Vida: Prepare to get crushed, Ark.

- - - -

???: Kabane! Over here, come quickly!

Kabane: ...What?

???: This! Look at this!!!

Kabane: Corpses... It's awful rare for anything from the Surface to end up here.

???: This is much, much rarer. You might want to sit down for this.

???: They're still alive... if barely.

Kabane: ...I see.

Kabane: ......!

Kabane: Konoe. I think you're the one who might want to sit down for this one.

Kabane: This smaller one is a Celestial.

Konoe: What? Whaaaat!?

Konoe: That's... Even rarer than rare...

Konoe: Kuon!!!

Kuon: ...Yes. I feel it already.

Kuon: It appears we're still to continue...

Kuon: This dance of death.

- - - -

Libel and Arme are swept into the vast Underground, where they meet three young men; Kabane, Kuon, and Konoe.

They claim to know the truth about the world and the Celestial.

"Kabane doesn't want you to make the same mistake..."

To be continued in Part 2...

Once again, congrats on the 700 followers!!! I truly am glad to see you on my dash every time ❤ I hope you have a good day and stay safe! Much love to you, friend 😊

🎼 Wildcat by Ratatat + Eddie Diaz (I'm lowkey obsessed with the song, and ... well, the character goes without saying, I think)

Thank you so much! Now I'm not sure what you were thinking for the song, but this is what it inspired. Don't know why my brain heard it and thought videogames and chill mood, but here we are. Love the song btw.

Throwback to a Simpler Time. 643 words. Gen. ao3

It was a very relaxed, lazy weekend morning. Eddie decided he wasn’t getting dressed, that he would just use the day to chill with his son. He missed the days when he himself was a kid, or even a teenager, and he didn’t have to do anything on weekends. He could just sit around with food and play videogames. Hopefully, Christopher would be down for that today.

He put on some of the music he used to listen to back then and started on breakfast. Waffles were the thing for such a day, he thought. He had finished preparing them and set them on the living room’s coffee table, along with a variety of topping choices, not so subtly putting the fruits at the forefront in the hopes of getting Christopher to take some, even if he then buried them under whipped cream and chocolate hazelnut spread.

He was just setting up the old Nintendo console he’d lucked out and found at a garage sale a few weeks ago, when his son finally came out of his room and joined him. Christopher blinked in confusion at the sight of his dad in leopard print pyjama bottoms and an old t-shirt, pretty on theme with Christopher’s own tiger pyjamas.

“What’s going on, dad? Why are you still in your PJs? Is something wrong?”

“No, buddy, nothing’s wrong. I just thought we could have a lazy day, like I used to when I was your age. If you’re in.”

“There are waffles? Of course I’m in.”

He seemed to look around as though looking for someone else, and Eddie understood immediately why.

“No one else is here, Chris. I used batter that Buck had left in the fridge for us. I can use a waffle iron without there being a disaster, you know.”

They sat on the floor to be more level with the table and Eddie put on Super Mario Bros, a classic. He let Christopher go first, the way he would always do with his sisters. He preferred playing as Luigi anyway. When Christopher accidentally fell into a hole at the start of the third level, still not used to the controls of an unfamiliar game, it became Eddie’s turn. And since the game switched turns only when the player died, it remained Eddie’s turn long enough for Christopher to eat, while he himself was getting hungry.

“You skipped worlds? No fair, I didn’t know you could do that,” Christopher commented, with a mouth full of waffle.

“You wanted to go first. And when I tried to tell you about the hidden extra life, you told me you didn’t want my help. I listened to you.”

“I’m the kid, you’re supposed to help anyway!”

“Doesn’t matter now, you’re catching up already. Look at you, at the third world’s castle after taking the long way there.”

“Easy to catch up with someone who keeps jumping into fire, or right into a hole.”

“Hey, I am very good at this game. Your aunts kept getting angry because I wouldn’t die and it was never their turn quick enough. I’m just a little rusty.”

Christopher laughed in his usual contagious way, leading Eddie to join in. They kept playing all morning, the outside world forgotten as Eddie watched his son discover the pleasures of his childhood. It was a fun thing to share, and he really enjoyed the slight competitiveness.

They ended up ordering pizza for lunch and continued playing, moving on to Super Mario Bros 3, where they had to work a little more as a team and make decisions together about where they were going. It was fun to relax and have fun just the two of them for once. It felt as though they never had enough of those moments. Hopefully, as Christopher grew older, they could keep on doing things like this.
