if baldur's gate 3 had come out a little over a decade ago, there'd be no escaping the dark urge tributes made in windows movie maker set to animal i have become and monster by skillet. yet there is not a single gmv i have come across set to these songs? the edge economy is in fucking shambles.

Okay, something inspired by a John character analysis because it hurt me to the depths of my soul: John is "a funny guy" and he's "nice", but he ultimately got so desensitized and disconnected from his emotions by everything going to shit and everyone dying before his very eyes all the time that his emotional response to things that matter is neutral at best and fake as fuck at worst. It's not like he doesn't care about people, but it's easier for him to sever all ties with everyone rather than process that maybe he's not doing so well all alone, maybe he's hurt and yes, his friends might have someone more important in their lives to be there for him, but it's also not their job, and he's not asking for help, so he pretends that everything's fine and he doesn't need any help, he might even believe that.

Dirk on the other hand comes off as cold and calculating, or at least he's trying very hard to seem like some unfeeling ringleader pulling the strings, but he cares so much, he's passionate despite trying to dismiss his own interests as "irony" sometimes and he loves his friends so much he kills himself for them, he falls hard because he has no frame of reference to what being loved even supposed to feel like and gets heartbroken easily because of it. Dirk gets too attached to people because of his isolated upbringing and he wants the best for them even when no one asks, even when he's wrong about what "the best" actually is.

Point is, Dirk has a lot of love to give and John deserves to receive a lot of love after everything he's gone through, but they're equally bad at properly expressing feelings and receiving them, so It obviously wouldn't be a smooth sailing. It's a meeting of unstoppable force in Dirk and an immovable object in John, but the point when they meet might be the balance between Dirk's "too much" care and John's "too little" care, and they can teach each other how to hold onto and let go respectively.

the way we've puritanicalized fiction is so fucked

i read a dark!fic last night where both characters were TAGGED as dark![character] and the dark part was that...one character was taking photos of the other while he was sleeping and the other character thought it was kind of sexy

#[Old voice] back in my day dark!fics meant they cannibalized each other at the end #okay grandma let's get you to bed #you barely even see dark fics in fandoms anymore #you don't see freaks writing unhinged serial killer aus like you used to 😔 #anyway good morning it's 8am

[torterragarden]

Even when I go directly into Kitana's tag most of the posts end up being about one of the guys who has a crush on her or it's about Mileena. Or it's AI art

I was once a treehouse I lived in a cake but I never solved the way the orange slayed the rake I was only three years dead but I told the tale and now listen little child to the safety rail. Did you ever see a llama kiss a llama on the llama llama’s llama tastes of llama llama llama duck.

it genuinely is funny that people think the "oh isaac newton is hot for sure, oh hey apparently this is who i am now" is about the doctor being queer instead of the doctor just saying shit out loud with his actual mouth now

because yeah it's been over fifteen years, but i haven't forgotten how we lost our god damn minds over "tell rose... oh she knows" when man goes down a hole to meet apparently satan

"i'm burning up a sun, just to say goodbye... so i suppose, if it's my last chance to say it, i..." CAN'T EVEN GET THE WORDS OUT TO THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE

the doctor not saying shit out loud was like our collective primary agony for years on end. the children may not remember, but i do.

I know it's like "okay grandma" whenever I get nostalgic for LJ fandom. But since I'm working on a fic I started in the comments of someone's LJ, I've been thinking about how much I miss comment fic. I don't think any other platform has been able to replicate the LJ style comment fic fest or kink meme. Because you need nested comment threads to do it. And the community too, of course. We were more centralized then. I know people still have prompt fests and things, but there was just something about that comment space that really felt like a play space to me. It was so easy to share ideas and little bits of writing with each other in this casual way. And you didn't need to know the person who left the prompt, or to put your name on a fill if you didn't want to. It was just a free for all community playtime.

For me personally, it was also a great way to short-circuit the avoidance/anxiety stuff that makes writing so fraught for me. Because prompts are like puzzles. Hey, brain! We love puzzles! And look, you can write whatever. It's not a book or a real fic. It's not even a post, it's just a comment! Just start writing, you don't need to know where this is going! It's comment fic. It doesn't have to have a middle or an end. We're just playing. It's fun! And people would egg you on and leave you comments on your comment fic. And your brain would be like... Oh, it IS fun! Here's more. I have more. And before you knew it, you'd be like... Hey look, brain! I tricked you into writing 8K words! You're writing a whole fic! It's a real story! And now you have to figure out the middle and the end and all the real story things. Now comes the hard part and the slogging. But guess what, you're in too deep to back out now!

Inevitably I would write 15-20K fics pretty much every time I wrote comment fic. And I don't think trojan horsing yourself into writing 15K fics is necessarily the intended purpose of comment fic. Many people, some would say most, were able to write comment fic in a couple comments in a self-contained way. And there is something beautiful about how much can be fit into the bite size of a comment. But I do miss having that low pressure way to launch myself at an idea in a space that really felt like playtime.

unhinged darlingzane posting immediately after waking up nothing to see here

what if thomas seine aka tom zane in room 665 is the "real" tom zane, the one who cut out dark barb's heart and then fucked off to a baby universe where they could be happy together? or, maybe in his universe, he isn't that zane at all?

what if that hasn't happened yet as of aw2 because linear time means fucking nothing in the dark place? or maybe it has! maybe there are as many tom zanes as there are universes, and sometimes he's a poet, or a diver, or a filmmaker, and some have had certain experiences and some have not, or have yet to, or maybe even never will. who's to say?

i wish we knew more about the real jakala who drowned in the lake, like the specifics of her role as tom's muse. did she help him refine his art as the house of dreams poems sometimes suggest? did she, perhaps, help put them through iterations, help stress-test his concepts, within the bounds of which he could wildly improvise?

it would help a couple looking to achieve their goal of crafting a baby universe if someone had a good grasp of the theoretical underpinnings behind the cosmology of it all, a well-developed interpretation of many worlds. wouldn't it?

(i imagine it might also help if you could somehow have a master of many worlds in your back pocket for that.)

funny thing about the existence of infinitely many worlds is that it implies the existence of infinitely many permutations of people, roles, archetypes, story beats. maybe in one world you lose your darling to the lake while she's diving for the treasure you spoke of and you have to make a world where you can rest, or be together, or at least start over. maybe there are other worlds where the skeleton of events and people involved are very similar; it's just the flesh that looks a little different.

maybe.

there are A Lot of factors around me feeling increasingly Nothing around/ about christmastime over the last several years but one of them is undeniably the fact that it's, like, 45 outside and is forecasted to remain so for the majority of the month

#it snowed here for a couple of days at the very end of november and it's AMAZING how much that affected my perspective?? #me: christmas doesn't start until december! hard line!! #[beautiful photogenic snowfall on november 26th or whenever it was] oh hey actually christmas is right now I just decided #should have put the tree up! should have decorated!! should have started the christmas music and pinned the feeling down while I could!! #because it's GONE now!! we're an entire calendar week into december and I'm still like '... oh yeah christmas is coming. I guess' #it's hard to even get into the mindset of shopping for gifts or making christmas cards because it doesn't feel real #'december used to be cold' 'okay grandma let's get you to bed' #christmas haters DNI I miss having a month of joy in the midst of Depression Season fuck off #about me
