#but he is a good man deep down

Daniel: How do you want your coffee?

Carl, after beating some guy to death but not before the guy pleaded, saying he has a family at home: Black, like my soul.

Daniel:

Daniel: Carl, your soul is a latte.

Sometimes I think “God, I am just like Ed” and then I start putting him on a pedestal and make big paragraphs to say that he never did anything wrong in his life and how he’s actually just a very soft person that is hurting deep inside and needs a forehead kiss and then I look in the mirror and realize that I am in fact Stede Bonnet.

Do yourself a favor and take a seat for this one fam 👍

I fell upon a point The axis of the spectrum To bathe in abstract joy Or die without direction

Determined steps we take But please, for goodness sake We’re not gonna make it out alive

I sit for wasted days and toil in desperation To weep beneath a sky of fractured indication Let faith lead you down But please, for goodness sake We’re not alive; we’re just getting older

I would help you, but I can’t Seems that time got the upper hand To live yet never understand Is there a purpose?

But you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders

But you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Do we) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Deserve this) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Do we) And you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders (Deserve this)

Live by the subordinate belief That we are more than this we live By the subordinate belief That we are more than this we live

Okay so you guys are just gonna have to trust me on this one. This came from an(other) anon source since the link on Way Back Machine is dead. This was published to Ves's YouTube channel on July 15, 2012. The description said something along the lines of this (basing it off memory, it's very loose):

I wrote this song about the idea that humans have evolved beyond our means. We suffer implications due to our sentience and awareness of our world, which leads us to questions we cannot answer. Animals are programmed to fear death but they probably aren't aware of its inevitability, where humans most certainly are, but are totally powerless to stop it.

Update on this song as of December 2023:

Two different Anons provided me with more background info. The first screenshot is the original description that Ves had (he also worded things in a much better and more Vessel way than I did lol). The second screenshot is copy+paste text from the lyrics portion below the description. I updated the lyrics to reflect the text.

[kaitaiga]

thinking about Damien and Daniel again n crying

their stupid matching stick-and-poke tattoos they got when they were drunk

their silly tiktok account they ran where they posted literally anything and everything prior to army life (+ Dan’s constant wheezing over damo doing stupid shit) hell they probably even had a small YouTube channel they made when they were 12

the times dan had to carry damien back to his apartment when he got blackout drunk and took care of him, scolding him just like his Indonesian mother

dan who somehow knew all of the answers to damo’s questions and problems as well as getting Damo’s life back on track

the time damien helped set up dan’s entire marriage proposal spot to his girlfriend. he was probably more excited than daniel himself. he was even set to be best man but that day never came

and so on

this makes me wanna write about them in a fic again😔

[obeymeow]

nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context

[not-poignant]

Pia, I read chapter 65 of UtB (I caved, I was going to wait) and now I am. So angry. With Temsen. Like so angry !! (I'm feeling the dystopia in dystopian universe) (if I had an emoji that's laughing and ugly crying at the same time, it'd go here) Now if you hadn't repeatedly told others to take breaks from reading then I don't think I would've recognised I needed one myself, so. Thank you. I think I am. Practicing a new coping skill, now. *vibrates like thermally agitated molecules*

Hi anon!

Yes! Taking breaks when you need them is very good. :D

I know exactly what chapter you're talking about without looking, because it was a divisive chapter (it's the Domestic Violence chapter where Temsen gives Efnisien a 'come to Jesus' talk re: telling him to cut out his abusive behaviour, because he is being abusive), but the timing is difficult and painful.

Efnisien does need the talk, and does get something very valuable from it (to the point that even 30 chapters later, he's still thinking about it when he needs to feel stronger and more purposeful), but I remember when writing the author's note that the chapter would be quite divisive re: people being upset at Temsen.

The irony is that it's actually one of the better things Temsen's ever done. Efnisien is domestically violent and does slip into abusive behaviours - and domestically abusive behaviours - very easily. Just because that's all he's known, doesn't mean it should be accepted or condoned or allowed. Temsen's talk is one of self-responsibility, and the importance of owning your own actions, even when things are incredibly hard. And the timing of the talk is terrible, but the talk itself is vital.

There's no world where it's excusable to become abusive to a partner just because you don't want to communicate something in actual words. And while even Gary is angry at Temsen for the timing of that talk, Efnisien himself is grateful for it and uses it to become stronger within himself. Because that talk acknowledges Efnisien's capacity for power and self-responsibility after a lifetime of people assuming he's powerless or not capable of taking responsibility for himself.

To me, it's actually one of the least dystopian chapters, but it is a distressing one, especially if you're feeling for Efnisien and therefore feel his actions are excusable (which they aren't, even with all the sympathy in the world. Destroying someone's beloved objects simply to torture them because that's easier than talking is domestic violence, and Hillview would be a pretty poor place indeed if they encouraged or supported that behaviour.)

Reba McClane: I drew a freak

Will Graham: You didn't draw a freak. You drew a man with a freak on his back. There is nothing wrong with you.

Reba McClane: The blind attract them.

Will Graham: Not just the blind.
