something about aa4 is very... truman show, and i like it. everybody knows what the fuck is going on except apollo. phoenix knows what's going on, kristoph knows what's going on, trucy knows what's going on, klavier knows what's going on, ema knows what's going on. apollo is the only one who has no idea what the fuck is going on until the end. the others are just smacking him around the court like a hockey puck. he's like their tennis ball. they speak of him and speak through him and speak for him. they use him as a shield and a sounding board. they use him for his peculiar skill and then talk over him. it's such an interesting dynamic.

and, god. the only reason apollo falls into all of this shit is the fact that he just happened to work for a lawyer who kills people. apollo you could've worked for grossberg. i think he's still in business right??

anyone else fan of wolf 359? anyone else remember that episode where they get into the whole story of that old crew getting copied by the aliens and then the captain blowing up the ship so the aliens could never make it back to earth? funny how that episode was called theta scenario, wasnt it? funny coincidence

yeah. did anyone else also not remember the names of those copied crew members until they checked the script just now because uhhh

i mean it means nothing but it's weird that it happened twice right

#what are the chances #theyre not zero. clearly. theyre probably not uncommon names #theyre both probably pretty standard scifi plots in scifi genres like it's not THAT weird in the grand scheme of things but #what! #im just glad zhang isnt a doctor who name too rn #it isnt right?

If I had a nickel for every time an actual play show ended a campaign with an episode title “Heart of the World” I’d only have 2 nickels but it’s weird it happened twice.

milex and 'white nights' by dostoevsky

if you love milex do not, for the love of god and the well-being of your mental health, read 'white nights' - i am crushed and utterly inconsolable, and the fact that this whole story fits so well with the lyrics of 'killing the joke' and 'the meeting place' and the la cigale performance has me wanting to cry until tomorrow, and i can't keep all these thoughts to myself.

for those that don't know, it is the story of a man who meets a girl and falls in love with her; unfortunately, the girl is in love with someone else and is waiting for him to come back to her; and in the end, she returns to her lover, but wants to remain friends with our nameless character.

the two characters meet during the night, always in the same place - 'but I want to see you tonight'

the man can't sleep, he is too excited about their next night when they'll meet again; he even goes back to their meeting place on his own: - 'he struggles to sleep at night and during the day/he's worried she's waiting in his dreams/to drag him back to the meeting place/his love had left him there' - 'he's crying out from the meeting place/he's stranded himself there'

things taking a wrong turn is indicated by grey and gloomy weather, rain and dark clouds - 'cause the clocks count down and we're in for bad weather'

the man confesses his love to the girl, despite knowing that she can't love him, knowing that what he is going to say "is all nonsense, all impossible, all stupid! I know that this can never be, but I cannot be silent" - 'why do I always have to go killing the joke?'

the man has been lonely all his life and has been unsuccessful with women, but despite his loneliness and despair, he manages to make the girl laugh multiple times - 'but I, I live a lonely life / but I, I know I'm a funny guy'

at the end, she writes him a letter, asking him to forgive her for leaving him - 'her voice still echoes/ I'm sorry I met you, darling, I'm sorry I've left you'

nastenka's lover has been away for a year, but before he went, he promised her that when he comes back, he'll marry her. but when he does comes back, he doesn't go to her and the girl begins to doubt his love for her - this is when how our character finds her. in her misery, she wants our narrator to come live with her and tells him that she will love him; but after discussing their plans, her lover turns up - and tell me that this does not remind you of la cigale:

"Come along! Look at the sky, Nastenka. Look! To-morrow it will be a lovely day; what a blue sky, what a moon! Look; that yellow cloud is covering it now, look, look! No, it has passed by. Look, look!"

But Nastenka did not look at the cloud; she stood mute as though turned to stone; a minute later she huddled timidly close up to me. Her hand trembled in my hand; I looked at her. She pressed still more closely to me.

At that moment a young man passed by us. He suddenly stopped, looked at us intently, and then again took a few steps on. My heart began throbbing.

"Who is it, Nastenka?" I said in an undertone.

"It's he," she answered in a whisper, huddling up to me, still more closely, still more tremulously.... I could hardly stand on my feet.

"Nastenka, Nastenka! It's you!" I heard a voice behind us and at the same moment the young man took several steps towards us.

My God, how she cried out! How she started! How she tore herself out of my arms and rushed to meet him! I stood and looked at them, utterly crushed. But she had hardly given him her hand, had hardly flung herself into his arms, when she turned to me again, was beside me again in a flash, and before I knew where I was she threw both arms round my neck and gave me a warm, tender kiss. Then, without saying a word to me, she rushed back to him again, took his hand, and drew him after her.

I stood a long time looking after them. At last the two vanished from my sight."

and despite all this, the man is not angry with her; the last thing he'd do is hurt her in any way; he wishes her to be happy - and realises, that all his life, he's only been truly happy during these nights with her:

"my god, a whole moment of happiness! is that too little for the whole of a man's life?"

which hits even harder if we read the epigraph of the story:

"Or was his destiny from the start

To be but just one moment

Near your heart?" (Ivan Turgenev)

#i am so unwell #i really bought a book with like 20 stories from dostoevsky but randomly decided to read this one for no good reason #i didn't even know what it was about #and the fact that i can relate to this because very similar things happened to me too is making things even worse #maybe the reason why i feel this close connection with miles is because we go through the same shit #like i can't make this up #we both love our best friend of the same sex who gives us false hope then fucks off with someone who has the same #name as one of our parent #what are the chances #and i'm not even gonna mention all our other similarities bcs no one gaf and it's not even the point #miles kane #alex turner #milex #tlsp #the last shadow puppets #fyodor dostoevsky #white nights #the meeting place #killing the joke #la cigale #milex and
