No. Not that I ever saw. Although the effect of making it look like Louis looks a bit suspect to me. However, that’s Djay Buddha. He’s a friend of Harry’s, so I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if Louis took the photo.
june 21st. day 2 of the strange short Tally Marks logs.
fun fact: the unfunny jokester voice was, of course, added with the Fifth Draft (which first added Attacheds to the story), and I stuck with it in all later drafts for these logs because. well, it's kind of heady, not something I'd ever had the opportunity (or, been asked) to explain.
but it's something like an iteration on totheark. a really dry two-step joke, in some ways-- "god, what if we suddenly got totheark responses out of nowhere? god, what if totheark just really wanted to tell some bad jokes?" there is, like, a tiny bit more depth to it than that, having to do with 1) who this jokester voice is, and 2) an engagement with a conflict Rapture is very interested in in the long-term, the conflict of horror and comedy (which are really synonymous) versus drama. this jokester voice is not a terribly deep engagement with that conflict, but it was important to me, when reconsidering this long Internet Fic as a physical object (a Book), to thread in some variations on the theme in places that otherwise were in need of a bit more density. (see: textual spatiality, as opposed to temporality. a joycean concept.)
you can discard the Theory stuff here, it's fine. it's all really just about the strange sequence of reactions I wanted the reader to have, including a specific headspace of confusion. act 1 is visceral and rather basic, by choice. the relevance of all the Theory stuff will wait for later.
The way Brad is now on everything what comes of Harry like in that video of DJayBuddha🤦♀️ infuriates me to the point that.. this is my eye at the moment 🤪
My eye popped out of its socket yeah 😮💨
Ugh. I’m very glad I only saw the cropped version. I guess we’re supposed to forget we could see someone who looked very much like Louis in the reflection of DJ Buddha’s glasses the last time H saw him. 🙃
