when the august sun sets on us

- no tags, just word vomit

-song pairing : eight by iu & suga

“so are you happy now?

finally happy now, are you?”

because here I am, in the way and state things have left me; feeling like I’ve lost everything. I am drowning and suffocating on the feeling of nothing like a fool.

it’s cruel the way things and people slip through fingers the way sand does, coming and leaving without so much another goodbye and persistent hellos. like a sick joke I hate waking up in fear of realizing something else beside me has left before I am ready to let go of it. flowers, people, time- forever feels like a second, things that are drawn in frames and hung up on walls can be washed away by indifference like sand castles, and I have forfeited the love I have given them.

once everything has passed and the sun sets, all that is left are dilapidated, worn-out memories, ones that I am running though and chasing back.

is there still a place for us? a place beyond centuries and before aeons that we can still dance under the orange sun and not carry our burdens like shadows behind us? perhaps an island, or a home, or our own little nebula where the definitions of us will never change? where I will always be me and you will always be you.

I am afraid more than I am excited, our promised eternity is being stripped away from us, we are fading away and pooling in places we cannot see. Once I was a child, so eager to reach for your familiarity and intertwine our fingers together. Once I did not know the weight of traumas and monsters and nightmares had. Now I am facing the repercussions.

I am still cutting out the worn parts of me and replacing them with new layers, ones I am fashioning out of my own skin and bones. I am signing my name off on letters before the ink has dried, I am mourning unripe memories.

This is not a goodbye to everything that I used to be and will be. This is the realization that everything is a story plot that repeats like a broken record with a different character each and every time. This is my final plea before I truly let go of everything, for everything to please stay by my side a little longer, even if just for a moment.

We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz

Title: We Were Never here Author: Andrea Bartz Series: N/A Number of Pages: 305 Genre: Psychological Thriller Publisher: Random House Publishing Date of Original Publication: August 3, 2023 ISBN: 978-1984820488

I hit a lull. Step dad passed on June 26th and I became uninterested in reading. This book didn’t help. Honestly, I thought the storyline seemed really interesting. We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz is a fictional psychological thriller about two friends who travel and end up murdering people. Sounded interesting. But the second half of the book I just couldn’t get into. But I finally finished it.

The story line is interesting. Emily and her friend Kristen are friends from college. They decide to spend their savings travelling around the world together. But after two murders they return to the United States and aim to not get caught. But one of them discovers that the other has more than two suspicious deaths in their past. How can their friendship last and how can they not get caught?

The overall story had an interesting plot. The first half of the book was interesting with the changes in settings, learning the characters, and of the murders.

The last half of the book is where it went downhill. The main characters are very weak in their own ways and the story became horribly predictable at every page turn. Was looking for a great ending but didn’t really get it. One bit of action at the end that was slightly surprising but also not. The story overall became unrealistic. Needed more action, stronger characters, and a more believable ending.

★★ Honestly I wouldn’t recommend. There’s much better psychological thrillers out there.

You know what? Happy Disability Month to those who were disabled by accident. Cars, skis, ice, sand, rocks, horses, just plain bad luck. Broken bones and backs that never heal. Shoulders that can't lift or move right. Wrists that don't turn. Hands that can't grasp. Brains that don't work right anymore. Legs that don't move anymore and eyes that won't recover.

The shame, the blame, the frustration, the wishful thinking that tears you apart. The beauty of small victories and simple kindness. The community you build. Reshaping a life with no warning. Mourning for the person you once were. Joyfully embracing the person you now are. Happy Disability Month to you too (even if you aren't ready to use that word yet)

#disability #disability month #i love that we celebrate disability month but i never see anything about actually physical accident disabilities on here #and irl most disabled ppl i know were hurt in an accident or event #it's most of the population tbh and thats why weve got to stand up for each other #bc we all end up here one way or another #community support #disability community

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz

This book wasn't for me. I've read too many thrillers for this one to have any effect on me: the pacing felt slow, the protagonist didn't seem to have a clue about almost anything, and I wasn't compelled enough to care about the story or the characters.

If you are more of a novel reader who likes a bit of murder in your reads, you may enjoy this one, but if you're into thrillers, I'd give this a pass.

Ghosts’ Larry Rickard Explains Why They Chose the Captain’s First Name

Photo: Monumental,Guido Mandozzi

It couldn’t be a joke. That was one rule laid down by the Ghosts creators when it came to choosing a first name for Willbond’s character. Until series five, the WWII ghost had been known only as The Captain – a mystery seized upon by fans of the show.

“It was the question we got asked more than anything. His name,” actor and writer Larry Rickard tells Den of Geek. “Once we got to series three, you could see that we were deliberately cutting away and deliberately avoiding it. We were fuelling the fire because we knew at some point we’d tell them.”

In “Carpe Diem”, the episode written by Rickard and Ben Willbond that finally reveals The Captain’s death story, they did tell us. After years of guessing, clue-spotting and debate, Ghosts revealed that The Captain’s first name is James. At the same time, we also learned that James’ colleague Lieutenant Havers’ first name was Anthony.

The ordinariness of those two names, says Rickard, is the point.

“The only thing we were really clear about is that we didn’t want one of those names that only exists in tellyland. It shouldn’t be ‘Cormoran’ or ‘Endeavour’. They should just be some men’s names and they’re important to them. The point was that they were everyday.”

Choosing first names for The Captain and Havers was a long process not unlike naming a baby, Rickard agrees. “It almost comes down to looking at the faces of the characters and saying, what’s right?”

“We talked for ages. For a long time I kept thinking ‘Duncan and James’, and then I was like ah no! That would have turned it into a gag and been awful!” Inescapably in the minds of a certain generation, Duncan James is a member of noughties boyband Blue. “Maybe with Anthony I was thinking of Anthony Costa!” Rickard says in mock horror, referencing another member of the band.

Lieutenant Havers wasn’t just The Captain’s second in command while stationed at Button House; he was also the man James loved. Because homosexuality was criminalised in England during James’ lifetime, he was forced to hide his feelings for Anthony from society, and to some extent even from himself.

In “Carpe Diem”, the ghosts (mistakenly) prepare for the last day of their afterlives, prompting The Captain to finally tell his story. Though not explicit about his sexual identity, the others understand and accept what he tells them – and led by Lady Button, all agree that he’s a brave man.

Getting the balance right of what The Captain does and doesn’t say was key to the episode. “It wasn’t just a personal choice of his to go ‘I’m going to remain in the closet’,” explains Rickard. “There wasn’t an option there to explore the things that either of them felt. That couldn’t be done back then – there are so many stories which have come out since the War about the dangers of doing that.

“We wanted to tell his personal story but also try to ensure that there was a level at which you understood why they couldn’t be open, that even in this moment where he’s finally telling the other ghosts his story, he never comes out and says it overtly because that would be too much for him as a character from that time.

“He says enough for them to know, and enough for him to feel unburdened but it’s in the fact that they’re using their first names which militarily they would never have done, and in the literal passing of the baton”.

The baton is a bonus reveal when fans learned that The Captain’s military stick wasn’t a memento of his career, but of Havers. As James suffers a fatal heart attack during a VE day celebration at Button House, Anthony rushes to his side and the stick passes from one to the other as they share a moment of tragic understanding.

“From really early on, we had the idea that anything you’re holding [when you die] stays with you. So it wasn’t just your clothes you were wearing, we had the stuff with Thomas’ letter reappearing in his pocket and so on. And the assumption being that it was something The Captain couldn’t put down, it felt so nice to be able to say it was something he didn’t want to put down.”

Rickard lists “Carpe Diem”, co-written with Ben Willbond, among his series five highlights. He’s pleased with the end result, praises Willbond’s performance, and loved being on set to see Button House dressed for the 1940s. He’s particularly pleased that a checklist of moments they wanted to land with the audience all managed to be included. “Normally something’s fallen by the wayside just because of the way TV’s made, it’s always imperfect or it’s slightly rushed, but it feels like it’s all there.”

Rickard and Willbond also knew by this point in the show’s lifetime, that they could trust Ghosts fans to pick up on small details. “Nothing is missed,” he says. “Early on, you’re always thinking, is that going to get across? But once we got to series five, there are little tiny things within corners of shots and you know that’s going to be spotted. Particularly in that very short exchange between Havers and the Captain. We worried less about the minutiae of it because you go, that’s going to be rewound and rewatched, nothing will be missed.”

The team were also grateful they’d resisted the temptation to tell The Captain’s story sooner. “We’d talked about it every series since series two, whether or not now was the time, but because he’s such a hard and starchy character in a lot of ways you needed the time to understand his softer side I think before you had that final honest beat from him.”

“What a ridiculously normal name to have so much weight put on it for five years,” laughs Rickard fondly. “Good old James.”
