THIRTY-ONE DAYS OF GHOST ⛧ DAY ONE

first song you heard — Mary On A Cross

September 1969; Papa Nihil and the beginning of the Ghost Project take to the stage at the Whiskey a Go Go club in Los Angeles, under the watchful eye of Sister Imperator. Fifty-three years later, in Tampa, Florida, Papa Emeritus the Fourth performs Mary On A Cross, unaware that he is singing the story of his parents—and that of himself.

COMMUTE TIME SHOULD COUNT AS TIME ON THE CLOCK.

IF A JOB SENT YOU SOMEWHERE TO PICK UP A THING OR ATTEND A CONFERENCE, THE TRAVEL TIME WOULD (CONVENTIONALLY) COUNT AS WORKING, BECAUSE YOU ARE TRAVELING SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF WORK. ERGO, TIME SPENT COMMUTING TO AND FROM THE WORKPLACE SHOULD LIKEWISE COUNT AS WORK TIME.

Medical misogyny is. Fucking unreal.

For years, my sister has been having these problems that every doctor she's seen has claimed are 'panic attacks due to your anxiety'. The symptoms have been serious and frightening enough that they felt they had to do SOMETHING, so for more than twelve years they have put her on psych med after psych med, sent her to what felt like every variety of therapy out there, suggested fucking- calming aromatherapy sachets. Experimental meds! They tried her out on stuff that they're like 'We have yet to see how patients under sixteen react to this, but it could potentially help you, so let's try, shall we?' And when things inevitably went badly, she said that months later, she'd see advertisements for the meds on tv suddenly listing the side effects she'd gone to the ER for. The ones that the doctors had apparently never seen before.

Years of medication. Spent all of high school alternating between fuzzy thoughts, sleepingwalking through life like a zombie and having intense bad-reaction-to-medication breakdowns. Her classmates would be angry at her for things that she literally could not remember because some of the things the doctors gave her would just erase chunks of time. Over a decade of therapy. Nothing has EVER worked. No matter what they gave her, she just kept having these strange and terrifying episodes, complete with intense, uncontrollable physical reactions that they insisted stemmed from her anxiety, and that would stop when they finally found the right psych med, or when she just tried hard enough in therapy.

...and it turns out, this whole time she had an untreated seizure disorder.

They never. In all the time she's asked for help. Bothered to check if it was a physical problem. Because they saw 'female' and heard 'anxiety' and decided it was all in her head.

I am just. At a loss for words.

Hey little gay people in my phone, can you wish me good luck for tomorrow?

[ajastu]

ive been replaying da2 right. and it made me think about why datv feels a bit different to the previous games in the franchise in regards to, like, how messy it gets (different but not in a bad way this is not a crit post)

This is also not like, a deep analysis tm or anything, im literally just writing this bcs i cant fall asleep but LONG STORY SHORT.

1. Your PC is not someone Important

2. Your involvement with the Politics Tm is not as extensive

In origins, you have to go around n convince people to help you fight the blight, while ALSO dealing with the whole Loghain situation. the warden is literally one of TWO people who can get the job done. kind of integral!

da2, of course, deals with the mess that is Kirkwall, with its rising tensions and inevitable tragedy, with Hawke becoming Important to the city, with all the bullshit that entails. (and also it unfolds over the course of, like, what, 10 years?)

Dai... youre literally made to be the head of a religious organization with a lot of power and influence. You aren't given a choice, u have to be the chosen one now.

Datv? Rook isnt really all that imporrant. They aren't even high up in the ranks of whatever faction you choose for them. They werent even supposed to be in charge in the first place.

They also dont have to convince most of their allies to help with fighting the gods (aside from the wardens, ofc), because everyone understands the stakes. Of course, you help them out and all that, but they are Already your allies, they would be fighting this battle anyway.

Rook isn't a chosen one. theyre not a champion, they're not the only person who can do the job. They just.. happened to land in the role of the leader. Solas connection is a bonus, as is the dagger, but again. Not exactly irreplaceable. (the treviso/minrathous choice comes to mind here. it took me two playthrus to understand Why exactly Rooks presence made a difference, because like... theyre just a Guy. what does it matter where they go? but it wasnt Rook who made the difference. it was the dagger)

So, the focus is less on politics and more on building a reliable team, a community. Theyre not choosing stuff like who will become the new archon, or who is supposed to be the first talon, or whatever else. That just simply isn't their role.

Theyre just here to try to kill two blighted gods and not die in the process, ideally.

Theyre not important. The team is. And they are an integral part of that, but again, not THE chosen one. Their role could be fulfilled by different people, which cant exactly be said about the warden, or Hawke, or inquisitor.

and idk, i think thats fun. very stressed-employee-trying-to-meet-deadlines kind of vibes. someone please make them go take a nap

edit: ok ive been informed u Can choose the next archon if u save minrathous but my point still stands. rooks involvement in stuff like this is Minimal compared to the previous three protags

terrible influence is the most accurate show name ever bc why was i cooking dinner and seriously considering if i would be able to get to the oslo show tomorrow and then back home the same day

I felt so seen when I first read pjo and it mentioned Annabeth’s arachnophobia. I used to have so many nightmares when I was younger (probably started when I was around five or six), I would wake up in the middle of the night and be so terrified of moving because I thought there were spiders all over my bed. The shadows on my popcorn ceiling looked like spider figures and I remember just laying there sweating and not making a sound because I thought it would attract the spiders I guess? It was routine for me to shout for my mom—poor her, she would be woken at 2 in the morning like thrice a week— and she’d always shake my sheets and lay with me until I feel asleep. She would also take me to sleep with her and my dad in their massive bed (who was I to say no to the invitation?) and it got to the point where I was embarrassed that I couldn’t sleep a whole night without someone. Occasionally, I still have these nightmares about spiders and I just turn on a light, go to the bathroom, come back, and pretend it never happened.

Idk, just thinking about that. I kind of had forgotten about those nightmares but I don’t play when I see spiders because I know it means I’m going to dream about them.

Afternoon Blue

You can be both gentle, and relentless. Soothing, and unforgiving, whether that's towards yourself, or others. You're someone who is considered a natural born leader, and you tend to take that title in pride, although there are times when you wish that you wouldn't have to always be the one who makes the decisions [more in IF 'verses than RP, tyvm]. The pressure that you've lived with so far has settled heavily onto your shoulders, and even though you've learned to live with it, you can't help but wonder what it would be like to share that burden with someone else, for once [Never in their life ... well. hm.]. People have always placed their expectations on you, and you always rise to the task- regardless of whether you think you can really do it, or not. Its led to you having some unfair expectations of others- after all, who are they to be so far behind? Who are they to sit and rest, when you must do all this work? You have to learn to let others take some of that burden from you, you have to learn to rest. The only thing truly stopping yourself from resting now, is you.

You'll have to let go of it someday, you know that, don't you? Don't be afraid of that. It's something that has to happen, [DOES IT THOUGH??] just as troubles will be forgiven, actions will be remembered, and just as the time will pass regardless of whether you are taking a step forward, or back. You've got a strong personality, and I admire you for that, along with your lack of hesitation [eh, i suppose] when finding an answer for yourself and for what you want to do. Knowing what you want in life is very important, and although it's good that you know that, it's also important to consider what other people want in life, too [DOES HE THOUGH? jk .... other people want him to LIVE and he's got no time for that]. You're bright, and you're fiery, and emotions are something that you feel a bit too much of sometimes, but I understand. Don't lose yourself in the path of moving forward, or you'll end up right back at the start. [I worry about Andy losing himself to the past ... but I can see it.]
