[10] Chapter 16 Review Syndicate: The Memory Index

I still think about Julian R. Vaca’s YA novel The Memory Index, and I have it on my list to read the sequel as soon as I can. Vaca’s novel is great for those who want to experience the time period of Stranger Things combined with a dystopian world like 1984. Cover of The Memory Index As I write in the review, “Filled to the brim with nostalgic references to popular 80s entertainment — think…

when the downward spiral arc hits a little too close to home... siffrin hitting the counter for the millionth time and just sitting down on the floor for a bit and not explaining anything. i felt that

#sometimes floor time is simply the last bulwark between you and a complete break from sanity #act 4 in general should NOT be as intensely relatable as it is but #at least it's mostly 'haha me from high school' rather than 'me rn'#however the fact that i also have memory issues is making the relatibility index rather lethal #in stars and time #isat #aphelion.txt #this blog is an isat liveblog temporarily apparently #i haven't written anything all week i just keep playing isat.#i stayed up til 1am last night. rip #siffrin

something bad did indeed happen to that man. spent abt 25 minutes trying to find a better picture of that one (1) offical piece with his eyes open that wasnt compressed or tiny

#library of ruina #yan library of ruina #getting comfortable doodling some objects and mannequin shapes for very obvious reasons. i read the keypage story and now it has a grip on #my brain. wanting to go ahead and plan it out and then draw the mangled memory and nightmare that replays behind the eyelids in the darknes #it was cool to see the reason confirmed from my speculation. twas indeed another reason of blocking out present pain with closing of eyes #considering they made angela have a plot important reason for doing so it would only make sense for another to have a reason for it as well #well. after having a prominent part inside the thumb/index story line. its just going to be yapping about yan now i think #let me add a spoiler tag i suppose? vauge but just incase i dont want to be an asshole. even if most already have played rhe game #library of ruina spoilers #lor spoilers #i really liked the typewritter effect over the voice after distortion. especially so when the effect finishes before the actual garbled voi #does. it makes it feel as if it were being read out after it being written down rather than of own words or volition. along with the text #upon the screen during the fight being just prescripts rather than anything relating to the man himself like the other instances with such #text had been. paired w the name of distorted yan being untranslated to keep the intent of the name being unreadable or not understandable #more into the idea of stripping away of the self or any sense of a self. not personal and not even him anymore. the following of a goal for #the goal for it is given and there isnt any hope of having the ability to not do such a thing. people yearn for a reason and something to d #and for it to be given to them to not hold responsibility nor have to do their own choices anymore. once a crushing weight weighs down #inside the face of an absolute cruelty that is perpetuated and that crushed the dreams or even desires having them be but nothing how can #one move on? it was really nice to see at the end of the fight. its easier to just say such things than to actually do them. even if the ac #ions dont even feel as if they are ones own or that there isnt any say in the matter having to endure all the pain for seemingly nothing it #still is pain. that feeling inside is still real. it still happened. regardless of the circumstances that brought them about #the thumb/index or just fingers seem to be an exaggerated to the extreme showcase of how the colletivist mindset in an unhealthy manner #could be exhibited. the thumb with its hierarchy and absoluteness and the demand for respect along with its strict layers of showing who is #below and who is above. the ability to have power over those underneath . the participation inside of it and the already brought up yearnin #to be apart of a group and to have a title and position inside of a group and of power and even a desire like from pete to join one iirc #the index being of the cruel perpetuating cycle of pain people inflict upon one another a behavior beaten and upkept by the systems as they #drift and desire to live. which causes them to partcipate in that cycle out of necessity. cruel acts upon another in order to live and seei #a need to go ahead and do such things for if they dont they die and another will just do the same to them. social sciences talk and rolands #talks abt how the city opperates reinforce that fact. the index and prescripts are really just a show inside that extreme manner and in a #more literal sense of that. it was really cool to read it..

"starts with the same letter it ends with" is a kind of evil geogrid category. so far i only have argentina

#i'm sure i'm missing some obvious one but i do these things from memory so #though the ones that make me the most annoyed are the corruption index/hdi scores. i'm bad at guessing those...#.txt

Not what I meant to work on today, but it turned out better than I imagined! Anyway, fun little poster for chapter two of Triangulum...

...which won't be out for several weeks, haha. In the meantime, go on over to the chapter index and check out the prologue~! And get ready for chapter 1 to drop next Tuesday!

#Hayley Speaks #Gravity Falls #Stanley Pines #Stanford Pines #My Art #Not gonna tag Bill because the one in the background is more representative of bad memories than anything #But here's still chilling back there in the tank if you squint~!#Anyway art's a fun way to keep the fic promo going without reblogging the chapter index B)

// WONG KAR-WAI

He does not direct time. He seduces it.

Wong Kar-Wai doesn’t make films. He writes letters the camera never sends.

His work is postcards from a heartbeat you forgot to return.

Each frame arrives late, smudged with perfume, wrapped in plastic rain, and held together with longing.

He is the poet laureate of delay.

The minister of missed chances.

The architect of smoky hallways, half-turned glances, and monologues that hum under your skin.

When others tried to conquer cinema, he made it ache.

When others chased plot, he chased rhythm.

His stories don’t move forward—they drift, loop, pause, like dancers who never touch but still sweat.

ONE FILM TO CHEW:

In the Mood for Love (2000)

It’s not just a love story—it’s a séance.

Silences stretch like wet silk. Rain is a character. A noodle is a ritual. The wall is a wound.

Watch it late. Watch it alone. Watch it again, just to miss what you didn’t miss the first time.

[ FLAVOR INDEX ]

TASTE: Black tea, lipstick, unspoken apologies

TEXTURE: Damp velvet, cigarette burn, memory foam

SOUND: A whisper through wallpaper. Nat King Cole from another room.

COLOR: Plum red, gold dust, static green

AFTERTASTE: Time lost. Time looped. Time dressed in silk and never looking back.

CINÈCHEW

// WRAPPED IN PLUM SILK & STATIC BY THE INVISIBLE LOLLIPOP CO.

for any given observational post i obsessive-compulsively second-guess if i have done the thing being described even if it's something i observe and don't like.

#indexed post #but well dissociation memory etc. but its fine i can contradict myself and make mistakes online

Fixation so bad I'm dming my old lab partner like we need to talk about the crystallography of soul mirrors NOW.

#I feel im onto something here bc soul mirrors would have crystallography because they would have a refractive index so im guessing how the #anima bounces off the responsive angles within the crystline structure would cause the memory #Meaning like a disk you could fuck with a soul mirror if your scratched it #Fysh Talks

Excel test tomorrow. The last excel test was easy enough (probably the easiest test so far: but that might be because I’d done the two word tests before and some things repeat) but this more advanced one I’m a bit more nervous about. At least my notes and print outs should guide me. I know where vaguely to flick to if I need to look them up.

#Memories of school return #polka blabs #I think I need to not look at it but pivottables don’t come naturally to me so it’ll probably be on test haha #Also don’t see point of index function honestly but /shrug

Sidenote the microtrend of posts where op spells out the name of a piracy site by highlighting letters in a passage has got to be the one that annoys me the most. 1 loose lips sinks ships 2 corny and hamfisted 3 hard to read 4 I have coloured text turned off on my phone so it doesnt look like anything and the only way I can tell is bcos a post abt piracy is being rlly corny and hamfisted 5 less opportunities for me to be the cool piracy guy. Anyway I'm not an expert but like DM me

#would make up a post of like. piracy skills that arent just indexes of links. but its entirely muscle memory by now id b bad at expkaining #:(

father grimaldi: forgive me, lord, for i have sinned. constantine: — understatement of the bloody century, that is. father grimaldi: the chapel is closed to the public! who are you? how did you get in here . . .? constantine: did you know vatican city has the highest per-capita crime rate of any nation state in the world? i'd have thought a touch of breaking and entering's pretty much par for the course around here.

so #1, an undeniable slay.

#2, how long do we think he was sitting in the confessional booth waiting for the guy to wake up from ellie's fake vision quest. like an hour? checking his light, practicing his Big Reveal Pose TM? he probably brought a book with him and just shoved it underneath the seat cushion when it was time to show off.

#3, knowing how intensely he studied & continues to study in order to teach himself magic at such an absurdly advanced level without any teachers to formally guide him? and how that level of dedication would absolutely carry over into researching a mark / making sure he had every corner of a confidence scheme nailed down pat? i like to imagine that the day before this meeting was spent with his severely under-caffeinated ass parked at a public library computer, squinting at articles for 'most important things to know about vatican city before you travel' or 'top 10 little-known facts about vatican city' and using the back of his boarding pass to take notes on what would be the best throwaway line to blow off all the usual questions with.

also, he probably woke up still in his travel clothes less than two hours before this scene and had to hustle to get suited up in time for his Dramatic Apparition. the demon blood was boiling so bad in that chapel that it was giving him a killer migraine. he didn't get breakfast so his stomach was growling the ENTIRE time. but all that meant was he had plenty of room to eat UP the runway and that's EXACTLY what the fuck he did.i'm

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#always torn in half between 'john is a freaky little weirdo who just Knows Things and Picks Up Vibes and it usually works for him'#and 'john is the most Normal Dude in the whole london occult scene he just works w/ magic like a grad student prepping for finals week'#and you know what? the answer is always 'Both. Both is good.'#also on the one hand i'm truly obsessed with the idea of john just?? Always having a bunch of weird trivia available w/ his eidetic memory #like he read about the apostolic palace once in a book when he was with the peace convoy and his brain latched onto it forever #and it just Happens to become convenient later on and this happens VERY often and no one ever really knows how he does it #but there is a real real charm in considering that he's still Just A Guy beneath all the layers of false confidence and mysticism #still someone who had to work to get to where he is now and who will always have to work to Maintain as well #i like the mental image of him pacing around his temporary digs with index cards and drilling all the necessary details for the scam #or him and ellie getting blasted the night before and dramatically playing out their Big Final Confrontation to iron out all the beats #you just Know they were laughing til they cried workshopping shit like 'MY OLD ADVERSARY! WE MEET AGAIN!' and 'DO YOUR WORST HELLSPAWN!'#still trying to keep straight faces the day of the fake fight while drastically improvising to try and throw each other off their game #idk!!! i always enjoy the Strange and Off-Putting things about him but all of the Really Really Human stuff is also just. so so precious #we always get to see The Myth The Legend as shaped by the errors of The Man. but especially in later years actually SEEING The Man gets rar #all this to say that for every perfectly executed and properly horrifying loom out of the shadows with a glimmer of his freaky glowing eyes #there is always at LEAST half an hour or more practicing angles + expressions + mood lighting in the mirror going on behind the scenes #and that is very very special to me!!!!#( headcanons. ) I'M JUST LIKE THE BASTARDS I'VE HATED ALL ME LIFE.#( visage. ) AND I'M A BASTARD.#sched.

At 128kb each, a 5x5x20 stack like this does, in fact, equal out to sixty four of God's own megabytes.

#Why the fuck do you have 500 ps1 memory cards #There HAS to be an adapter for that these days #Also this is more like 60mb after you consider the 8kb per cartridge reserved for indexing
