the terror a novel by dan simmons is. Bad. but i do think it was worth reading personally to experience the goodsir medical malpractice extended director's cut, peglar being gay and homophobic while gossiping with bridgens about mr hickey, and every time crozier described fitzjames like he was in a call someone a faggot without actually calling them a faggot competition

#🐉#why are you as a man so obsessed with that mans lisp 🤨#also the carnivale chapter. that rocked.#the terror #like i cannot emphasize enough that overall it fucking sucks #because it honestly feels like the author is delighted every time he gets an opportunity to break out the period typical bigotry #not to mention the attitude towards women in general... eugh #but the unintentionally funny moments and occasional snapshots of good writing buried in there do exist unfortunately

If I Should Stay

Trigger warning: period-typical homophobia and associated slurs

Part 1 | . . . | Part 37 | Part 38 | Part 39

Allison smiles at Eddie as they listen to Steve bicker with Dustin. Eddie glances at her, sees her smiling, and looks… disgusted. “God,” he says with a sneer, “you thought we were serious? That we’re some fags? You thought you could have your picture-perfect little dream life, didn’t you?”

Allison feels fear tingle down her spine. She gets off the counter and makes her way around the island, angling it between her and Eddie, letting her get close to the sliding doors that lead to the backyard.

Just then Steve comes back in, and Allison pleads with her eyes. “Steve? Bubba?”

“Sorry, Allison,” he says, though he doesn’t sound sorry. “You thought we’d accept you being a dyke?”

He and Eddie begin to laugh, and as tears prick at her eyelids, she feels behind herself for the door, throws it open, and steps outside.

Except she’s not outside. She can feel herself calming down slightly as she recognizes the hallway: it’s the one on the way to Cassidy’s room. “Cass?” She calls timidly, wiping her eyes. “Cassie?” She opens the oh-so-familiar door and freezes in the entryway. It’s not Cassidy’s room; it’s a room she’s never seen before. It looks like a meeting room. Her father is at one end of a long table, her mother just to his right. Steve’s to his left, with Eddie to his left, and Cassidy is on her mother’s right. The rest of the table is filled with friends and acquaintances from school, all staring at her, judging her.

She takes a step back. “Daddy?” She asks, like she’s five years old again.

Richard Harrington sighs. “Honestly, Allison, I thought we raised you better than this. Your mother and I didn’t raise you to throw your life away like a prostitute.”

“Dad, I love her,” she pleads.

Cassidy scoffs. “Do you? When you forgot my birthday? When you got me earrings for our anniversary? When you keep dragging your feet about everything?”

Allison gapes. “I- I didn’t- we celebrated later,” she tries weakly. “You said you loved the earrings. And I’m- I’m not trying to drag my feet-”

“Allison,” Cynthia Harrington says, spreading her hands. “We just want what’s best for you, darling. Come with us.”

The rest of the table starts murmuring, with us, come, come with us, and Allison’s heart kickstarts in her chest before she runs out of the room.

She ends up on a cursed-looking landscape, with dead earth and red sky, sticky vines and prehistoric-looking beasts.

She sees a clump of dead trees and sprints towards them, hiding in between them as best she can.

“Allison?” She hears, and her heart thumps in her chest, but how can she be sure?

“Alli? Baby?”

She turns around to see Cassidy trapped under a fallen tree, and she gasps. “How’d you get here?”

“Please,” Cassidy groans, tears tracing down her cheeks. “Please help me, baby, it’s on my ankle, I think it’s broken-”

“Cassie,” Alli sobs, falling to her knees next to her. “I’ve got you, okay? I’ve got you.” She does her best to lift one end of the log off of Cassidy, enough so Cassidy can wiggle out. When she’s out, Allison drops the log and wraps Cassidy in a hug. “Baby,” she whispers. “Baby, I’m so scared.”

“I know you are, sweetheart,” Cassidy says, but it’s not Cassidy, and Allison steps back and looks up with a gasp.

“W-what- who- who are you?”

His face contorts into a sickly grin. “I have many names,” he says, raising his arms as if to embrace her again. She eyes him distrustfully. “None of them will make any difference to you, though, since you’ll be dead before you can use them.”

She pivots on her heel and runs, ignores everything she can that isn’t her feet pounding on the dead earth. She suddenly hears a bit of music, which is so unlike anything she’d experienced in this place that she instinctively turns to it. It sounds almost like Steve.

“Darling, you got to let me know,” the voice sings, “should I stay or should I go? If you say that you are mine, I’ll be here till the end of time. So you got to let me know, should I stay or should I go?” Then the voice starts speaking. “C’mon, Al,” it murmurs. “You gotta fight, please. I just got you back, c’mon, I can’t lose you again. Not this soon. I won’t let him have you, Al, but you’ve gotta fight too.”

He starts the next line, and she suddenly sees something like a portal in front of her. As she gets closer, she can see herself, floating off the ground, eyes rolled back in her head. Steve’s standing on the counter, trying to reach her ear to speak. “Bubba,” she murmurs, running as fast as she can. Something tells her to look behind her, but she knows it’ll cost her speed, so she doesn’t, just runs to the portal and jumps through, back into her body.

Decided my proposal for a We Are Series ghostship is Beer and Kleun. They could make a very chill couple.

#they might seem boring as a concept but that is why i love the idea of them getting together #imagine with me:#we all agree beer deserves good things #through his his screentime kluen was shown to be a green flag but he had a crush on the wrong person to have a crush on #so beer and kluen meet again independent of the group similarly to the beer and peem interaction #beer makes a comment on kluen disappearing after the volunteer camp and kluen awkwardly says he joined to hit on peem and beer sympathizes #they eat together and talk about the volunteer camp further and beer comments on how jealous phum was of kluen #kluen is in disbelief phumpeem aren't together yet and beer laughs #they have a good time and exchange numbers so periodically in the show beer would be on his phone giving kluen live updates #the two resonate over having braincells and meet up for lunch more and more frequently as tan and phum are enraptured #eventually mick catches them together and jokes he feels like he is third-wheeling a date #beer and kluen both say it is not a date and mick makes a face before going back to his video games #mick is so absorbed in his video games he doesnt witness beer and kluen agree to try and go on an actual date right in front of him #cue we are series typical nonsense as the cast keeps catching beer and kluen on dates without realizing they are on a date #until beer shows up with kluen to a gathering and reintroduces him as his boyfriend #everyone is surprised they got together so quick and beer has to explain to them not every relationship is a bl #then beerkluen becomes everyones relationship counselors because they hold the sacred braincells #at some point phum asks beer how he feels about kluens former crush on peem and beer stresses it was a former crush and relatively minor #and phum realizes he was really shitty and unreasonable to kluen and apologizes and they become friends #just the ghostship of beerkluen #we are the series #we are series #beerkluen #fuck it ill make it a tag

my relationship with the mountain goats album i've been listening to for three and a half months straight is on a level you could never understand

#this is about Protein Source of the Future...Now! please do not derail #once and awhile i switch it out for a different CD but i can only listen to anything else two times through at most #and then it's back to the good old standard #the songs are just so... comfy????#and almost every one is massively emotionally satisfying over and over #although the funny thing is that even now i could probably only confidently name around half of them?#75% at best #bc my car's CD player doesn't know how to properly read the CD #so the songs are just listed as numbered tracks #but yeah this album and i have been through some SHIT #it has gotten me through such a stressful period in my life and continues to do so #and i am so so grateful #probably not the typical mountain goats album one would say that about but oh well!#the mountain goats #tmg

Next I should go through all the Emily Dickinson movies. Loved Wild Nights with Emily, hated A Quiet Passion, expect everything else to fall on a spectrum between those two poles

#They made a mumblecore Emily Dickinson biopic and it's like #First of all formally speaking it dates itself almost instantaneously to this indie cinema moment between 2004 and 2017 #Second of all the casting was just. Not done well #Which is too bad! I wanted to like Cynthia Nixon in the role!#It also suffers from 2010s Didactic Dialogue #Where characters in historical settings object strenuously to period-typical sexism or racism using 2010s language + logic #And it feels like an aside to the audience that breaks the fourth wall just to insult your intelligence #You're being told to support this character because they chafe against the constraints + prejudices of their time #And are therefore more comfortable for a modern viewer to identify with #Also it can't decide whether to be self-consciously anachronistic or not

im sure im not the only one to notice the similarities between dr facilier from the princess and the frog and alastor LMAO

#theres the time period the setting and the magic and the fact that they're both villains/villainous #the fact that they both have shadow sidekicks and other funky minions #the fashion is quite similar too and that just made me realise i forgot to add the feather on dr faciliers hat gahdammit #the colour scheme (at least half of it; in that the magic is green)#tho that could just be atttributed to the fact that most disney villains typically have a green and or purple colour scheme #need i say more #corporate need you to find the difference between these two; spoiler: there is none #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel fanart #hazbin alastor #dr facilier

i know i've been very culty on here about period underwear and reusable period products in general whenever i've brought up the topic in the last year or so but i mean it sincerely. i have never spent my money on a product that just simply improved my life so much. game-changing isn't even the beginning of it. i look forward to how much better my periods are now since i no longer have to depend on gross disposables. period underwear is the shit

#the best thing is it doesn't even feel wet. it doesn't even feel wet #like when you're a kid and you're new at it and all you can think about is how much you dont wanna be on your period anymore #and how much you wanna go back to just wearing your underwear like a normal day #with period underwear. you're just wearing underwear. and it DOES feel like a normal day #menstruation cw #other than y'know you're continuously bleeding and maybe you have cramps or whatever #other than having a kinda swimsuity texture (cant think of a better way to describe it) it just feels like underwear #it's JUST underwear #tales from diana #i mean im not even on my period rn although i am getting closer to it #i just bought ordered some new stuff and once this comes in. i'll be disposable-pad free forever #like i could cry about that #including some cloth pads (ive never tried them before)#i figured i could keep one or two of those in my purse or whatever for emergencies #the ONLY (and i mean only) inconvenient thing about period underwear is that it's much less convenient to just change or put on in public #on light or moderate days for me at least they can last the whole day. on heavy days it's good to change every 12 hours #and i can typically depend on doing that at home #but if i have a cloth pad for emergencies then i never have to rely on a disposable EVEN IN THE CASE that my period comes unexpectedly.#i mean it like i'm genuinely excited about this #i have only mentioned it a handful of times to friends in the year-plus that i bought that first pair of thinx #but i would literally buy any of my friends who menstruate a pair or a pack if they asked #like im very passionate about what a life improvement it has been #why do you think i'm always vag-angelizing about it these days?

So, I've got this KafHoshi fic I'm working on and it's starting to turn into a, like, 5 + 1 scenarios kinda fic in the vaguest sense of the situation. Which means I need to come up with senarios about Hoshina falling head over heels for Kafka and I listened to Super Massive Black Hole by Muse, immediately followed by Landmines by Sum 41 and all I could think about for a day was a situation where Kafka had a "Homer learns the bass" moment in his teens and his mom or cousin or something was cleaning out an old storage container and sent him his old bass guitar.

Not to overindulge, but basically my mind wouldn't let go of the image of Kafka singing SMBH, but in his Kaiju voice, which then morphed into Iharu begging on hands and knees asking if Kafka could learn the bass line to Landmines and be the bass to his lead guitar and play the song on his birthday in front of the Third Division with him.

And THEN my brain was like....

"Ok, but a Saturday morning cartoon about A rock band getting mystical guitars that transform them into humanoid Kaijus with super powers so now they fight crime just because and they have to keep the identity a secret from the police and Dollar Store Iharu leads the team and in the first episode show starts off with the band needing a new bass player so they start tryouts and a Kafka-like character shows up and the whole team isn't impressed with him until he starts playing an absolute sick riff and they let him join and DS Iharu's dad is the band's manager and he's a shit dad but he knows about he Kaiju Guitars/private hero identity thing (Cuz' he's the one networking the media to help keep it a secret) and there's a side plot about Kafka the Bass player becoming DS Iharu'd Better Dad and Reno's there too, but he's the "No enthusiasm" Guitar seller that sold them their mystic guitars and he had no idea about what the guitars do and the team rope him in once he and the rest find out KnockOff Reno had been chosen to help the people that became bestowed with the Kaiju Guitars and now KnockOff Reno is the team's Guy-In-The-Chair and HE gets his OWN character arc and him and Dollar Store Iharu start to fall in love and then you find out that Kafka had a secret love child that he didn't know about and then spend a season off screen fighting for custody and I've given this way too much thought already but doesn't it sound REALLY COOL because I could see it becoming one of those cult classic shows that were only made to sell toys, but it became one of the few that managed to transcend beyond that..."

It's never going to happen. but I do agree with myself.

#All because I wanted Kaiju mouthed Kafka to serenade Hoshina #My brain's usually like this so I'm not surprised this is in the back logs of my head now.#like this gives me either 6teen/Symbionic Titan/Motorcity animation vibes. leaning toward Motorcity.#fic is STILL not getting worked on.#but now I have more material for it.#It just sounds like the typical Made For KIds formula that inadvertently ages like fine wine #and as you become an adult and watch it again you notice the deep and complex themes that it had #and you appreciate it more because of it and it makes you miss that period of time where Kid shows didn't shy away from pulling punches.#I grew up on self imposed Avatar/Daria reruns every summer vacation does it show?#kaiju no. 8 #kafka hibino #soshiro hoshina #kafhoshi #kn8 #hoshikaf #kaiju no 8 #The image of 1)#Iharu headbanging to Landmines #and 2)#Kafka and Iharu standing Back to Back while shredding on guitars #haven't left my mind for two days now.#Its the last song anyone thinks of that's head banging worthy #I do it every time/ worry about me if I don't

I'm seeing a theme here, Baum...

The President [of France] touched a bell and gave an order to his servant. Then he turned to Rob and said, wonderingly: "You are a boy!" "That's true, Mr. President," was the answer; "but an American boy, you must remember. That makes a big difference, I assure you."

The Master Key, 1901

The Princess looked at her more closely. "Tell me," she resumed, "are you of royal blood?" "Better than that, ma'am," said Dorothy. "I came from Kansas."

Ozma of Oz, 1907

"Our father, the Revered and Resplendent Royal Ruler of the Blues, has made you our slave," asserted Indigo, with a yawn. "But he can't," objected [Trot]. "I'm some Royal an' Rapturous an' Ridic'lous myself, an' I won't allow any cheap Boolooroo to order me 'round." "Are you of royal birth?" asked Azure, seeming surprised. "Royal! Why, I'm an American, Snubnoses, and if there's anything royaler than an American I'd like to know what it is."

Sky Island, 1912

#period-typical rhetoric of course #but the self-confidence and indifference to rank or title of his young protagonists is a distinctive feature of his fantasy #his stories are VERY American in a genre that was at the time dominated by European writers #which made these books pretty innovative in their day

my list of hyper-fixations is like a refined gentleman of great affluence.

Linen

Chinese silks (mostly guandong silk)

fountain pens + inks

art history

handmade watercolors

film cameras

long wool coats

#i really don't get too caught up in media stuff for the most part #its like oh yeah i'll enjoy this thing and get inspired by it but typically i wouldnt say im like focused on it #there was a period of time where i was like dedicated to learning as much about linen as i could and i would say that was hyperfocused #and not just an interest

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!

#i think it's particularly maddening bc we have seen characters be able to understand civillian matt is like. more than just Blind Man.#i am always highly aware of period typical writing and can remember the context etc etc but sometimes.#sometimes it truly. truly does drive me up the wall. especially when other characters have been capable of not being That Level #of infantalizing. again foggy still isn't much better in a lot of respects he is just as capable of and has been as infantilizing #and insulting as karen has been. for sure. on multiple occassions. no questions asked. but i dont think he does it to the extent karen does #as in we dont see it on page just as much. it's just a bit less. so we see karen focus on it far more. to an almost exaggerated extent #part of that is the romance plot of ohhh i cannot possibly love a blind man while foggy is matt;s best friend of many years #so of course it will be in the way of the stan lee and old romance comics schools of writing that this goes down and is written like this.#of course we see her focus on it a touch more in a different way bc she's still getting to know matt and hasnt witnessed him #for about like a decade(? they met in undergrad right?) function on his own the way foggy has. but jesus christ man. good god.#at a certain point even with the period time context it does just still leave a bad taste. at certain points it becomes less eye roll #and far more maddening and hard to push down. bc it is gross. no matter what time period it is.#again. both of them are pretty disrespectful towards matt about it at this point even if mostly in their inner monologues or dialogues #with each other and not super to matt's face about it every time. but still. sometimes karen drives me far more crazy about it than foggy.#becase at least foggy can in fact recognize every now and then. matt is a perfectly capable grown man who can function and thrive.#and is someone who lives independently but also can know how to get assistance when needed.#while karen at this point has never really once given matt the benefit of that assumption despite witnessing his capabilities.#because even with his act of trying to fit the image ppl have of him. he still functions within that! and shows he can do things!#and ask for help when he needs it! even within his act of making himself smaller and quieter for others.#he's still like. adult man who lives his life. and does stuff on his own time.#i cant really speak about matt on any more deeper level than that in regards to his disabilities. i am not disabled.#i only speak as a reader and someone watching what these characters do and have proven to be able to do and how they act.#so i can only talk about karen and foggy's behaviors and attitudes in that regard.#and also as a person with like. basic understanding of other ppl living their lives. that all ppl live their own damn lives however it is #like most ppl on planet earth.#i apologize if any of my wording here is bad or if i dont talk on it well as none of this in the real world stuff is my lived experience #and you are free to go hey. incorrect. think about that or word that differently.#ok i promise im done now it's just. EUGH. UGH!!!!!#static.soundz

you know i must have been bone-tired when this part of the herb brides lore didn't come to my mind when i discussed how the Kin fundamentally differs from the cultures it is inspired by um There Is The Human Sacrifice part. like it's an important part of pathologic 2 that you are doing human, or anthropomorphic (if you want to see the Herb Brides as closer to spirits, which comes with its own set of problematics regarding how to approach their oppression) sacrifice. it's an important part of pathologic 2 that you kill a woman, as part of the journey and in direct resonance with you ritualistically killing cattle earlier, and she offers herself to you with cultural and religious significance.

human sacrifices have been done across the globe for millennia, but i cannot, for the life of me, find any source at all that mentions the Buryats (since that was the discussion point) partaking in human sacrifices by the turn of the 19th-early 20th century (or even anything past the 16th). every single source mentioning offerings and sacrifices i've read mentions animals, things such as milk and vodka, and often both at once. would love to read anything about these rituals if papers exist, but i'm personally drawing a blank.

the Kin has Obvious and very Visible influences but it also differs from specific (in this discussion's case, the Buryats) or wider (here, turkic/mongolic as a whole) cultures from the area by so many pieces, big and small, that i wouldn't have enough appendages on my whole body to count them all. and sister. i have plenty of appendages.

#i AM reading a paper that mentions the human sacrifices at Mongol burials where people (typically servants or family) would be sacrificed #to accompany the dead; as well as the Shor practice of sacrificing women/girls (replaced apparently quickly by sacrificing ducks)#but those seem pretty old [the Mongol part mentions the 13th century] & like. nothing about the buryats in that time period #i'm like 85% sure i saw in the beginning of being into patho someone saying how equating the Kin; who practice human sacrifices [& others]#to correlate/be meant to represent Real Life ethnicities is insulting because They Don't Do That.#and like. everythingggg that touches upon representation/appreciation/appropriation/theft is subjective and #informed my how much leeway you're willing to give the creators so that's like #bro i'm just reading PDFs #also just found out the discussion of ''The Kin Is Obviously Inspired But Not Meant To Represent [x]'' is over 2yrs old. we're still at it.#as anon said. ''unless you're tolkien; coming up with a whole fictional language is hard''.#anyways appendage time. stuff that differs just out of the top of my head:#everything relating to the religion which is almost a complete inverse of buryat tengrist/shamanic faith + don't get me started on buddhism #the clothes. the homes. the creation myths; beyond the apparition of Clay; which is present in so many cultures on earth #no swan ancestor. no lake worship. no sky/heavens. no tens of named hierarchical deities. NO BURBOT! no hats. no hats (burts into tears)#NO HORSES? ON THE EURASIAN STEPPE?#the belief that earth mustn't be cut is so buryat. i'm sure i've read it. no idea if it is also in other mongolic peoples but buryat it is.#also a bull-ancestor/bull totem. that exists in buryat tribes; but they also have a bunchhhhh of other sacred animals (including. swans.#also horses. there's this [charm?] made out of horse hair there is)#neigh (blabbers)#i'm realizin how crazy i sound repeating shit that has been said 2yrs ago but like someone already mentioned the human sacrifice.#someone already mentioned the clothes. someone already mentioned the yurts/gers. someone already mentioned the religion #like i'm just. repeating stuff. and yet. give it up for year 2

Summary:

May 1744

He wriggles his toes, feeling his environment. He quickly realises how much his surroundings are constricted, his legs are tightly bound and he is being cradled in someone’s arms. He opens his eyes and sees a woman leaning over him and realises she must be the one holding them. She’s humming softly with a warm and happy smile. He can see that her skin is clammy and there are bruises under her eyes, the eyes that are amber, golden-brown as well as smoky topaz, but that doesn’t dim her smile as she gazes upon the person in her arms. She’s white and her brown hair surrounds her face in messy curls.
