with microsoft forcing windows 10 into obsolescence in less than a year i predict the internet and modern technology will become unbearable for me to use within a couple of years. like i grew up in an era where you paid $60 for a piece of software and it was yours forever and you didn't need to be logged in to use it, didn't have a keylogger piping your data straight to microsoft, google, and various other shadow entities, and didn't even need an internet connection to enjoy a fully functional PC. linux is still free but it's a pain in the ass to use. idk. do you understand

I’m sick. My throat hurts so much. So I’m going to partially blame the sickness for how unhinged I’ve felt a couple times in the past few days. I avoided whatever Murble had for two weeks and then my brother got here and got sick within a couple days and I was really starting to feel it creep in about 3 days ago. Yesterday I realized that the past two weeks had been such a whirlwind that of course I was still feeling bad. A 20 minute nap isn’t going to cure exhaustion. So I mostly made myself sit around yesterday,

I finished putting ornaments on my trees. My brother did some with me while AuntAbides and my dad watched, I tend to keep my stuff up until sometime in February so there was no rush. I watched the Furiosa movie and some other stuff. And I went to bed at my ~normal~ time of about 8:30.

Pagecount: Over 900

(page 886-902)

With 17 pages, 11/22/2009 is the longest Homestuck update by number of pages to date. It contains not one but TWO huge story developments: the ominous planet and the Peregrine Mendicant.

Ominous Planet

Just as WV told us, the ominous planet is bright purple and lies ‘beyond an impenetrable veil of darkness’ (p.704/886).

Dad is here!! I think a lot of the sudden character transitions in Homestuck actually make sense – we went from John thinking about going into his dad’s room, over to Dad himself. He barely appeared in Act 2, getting kidnapped by the imps at the start and breaking out of his trick handcuffs at the end, and now he easily bests them. Clowning is a physically demanding pursuit so Dad must be well in shape beneath the business clothes, because he launches one imp right through the wall.

We also meet an imp security guard (?) who’s wearing similar but more intricate harlequin gear.

They’re watching Dad fight the imps and somehow also watching John battle the ogres, through a pair of windows similar in design to ‘one of [Jade’s] GRANDPA'S more mysterious inventions’ (p.790), the freestanding window on Jade’s gadget table. There is apparently no end to the number of people watching John.

He looks kind of familiar. On page 833, we’re introduced to the full Midnight Crew as the sky switches from blue to bright purple. And comparing these face shapes and designs side by side, these two characters feel like they could have something to do with each other. They’re both really angry, as Spades Slick’s answer to everything is violence, and this new guy refers to the other imps, John and Dad, or both as ‘graveyard stuffers’ (p.891). It’s the only text we get in relation to the character. The narrator apparently has nothing to add and no witty comment on that thought of theirs. There’s then a quick cut where seeing the next page title ‘You are now…’ suggests that we’re about to become this guy, but we instead suddenly become-

Peregrine Mendicant

THE MAIL HAS ARRIVED. Mail, packages and deliveries are a recurring motif – there have been several important colorful packages, several envelopes containing discs, and now there is a letter to Dr. David Brinner, ATTN: SERIOUS BUSINESS. Serious Business is of course the messaging client that Dad uses to keep in touch with his troupe, and we just returned to Dad in the story, so is this finally the moment that wellPressedAttire or officeurchin1280 take their starring role in the narrative? It’s definitely a person in John’s neighborhood but not Dad himself, as we’ve seen the insides of the Egbert mailbox.

PM’s mail based tirade (p.894-896) is of course reminiscent of WV’s mayoral calling (p.686) and PM’s adoption of the hat is just like WV making their sash. So there’s something to say about these chess pieces arriving at these Skaian bunkers and immediately adopting an institution of society as critically important. Both PM and WV’s monologues read as very idealistic, imagining these overly simplistic societies that function like textbook diagrams, as though they know about these things from books similar to WV’s Human Etiquette tome and have never been part of an actual human society. Comparing the two, WV’s monologue feels more peaceful, as it’s focused on everyone getting along, mutual respect, civility and a kind leader. PM talks of soldiers, a crusade, defenders and hope among the ashes; it’s far more violent and adventurous, and feels more grounded in harsh realities even while it maybe overestimates the mail’s capability.

Which is not to criticize the mail or PM’s speech, because I think they’re both great. I agree that mail is very important, highly underappreciated, and I think it’s beautiful to explore an empty wasteland and to think ‘if there are any people left here, I need to make sure they can communicate with each other’.

Looking stylish in their new hat, PM loads their terminal and tries to greet Jade the same way WV commanded John. Jade is already covered by a lot of green static, but it appears to be snowing where she is, with flakes and drifts behind her. Which is weird in itself, because Jade is close enough to the equator that a quick search suggests it wouldn’t snow in her area no matter the time of year, especially not with the geothermal power near her house. But it gets weirder, because when John resisted a command he just felt frustrated and got a headache as he tried to ignore a weird voice in his head. When Jade resists a command, she apparently blows up the command station with lightning that she transmits through time and space. Yet another way that Jade is weirder and more powerful than the other characters.

> PM: Sacrifice yourself to save the mail.

vierapril day 24--fear

"it wasn't until alisaie fell in the ghimlyt dark--when they were carrying her body back to the forward camp, and further still to the rising stones--when the fear truly set in. when the loneliness rose up to fill the gaps where the scions used to be, and the crushing weight of it settled in.

ok ok and ill address what i was seeing on my dash before i realized i had to watch it quickly before i got any more spoilers, i love the evil morty parallels but i dont really think its foreshadowing anything particularly new, i think from nearly the beginning of the show weve been shown that our morty has that capability within him

[ghostpebble]

thinking about that time in history class where i didn't know the answer to a question asking something like "who was the man that did blah blah blah in blah blah blah" so i just said fuck it, wrote "john" because all guys back then were named john, and turned it in

and i got it right

notion reveal, my liege? :)

wowee haven’t done a notion update in yonks.. i have been using it a bit more these past few months (had my to do list on minimalist app era) so good timing! my setup has definitely simplified over the years so if this was just an update request, here u go, otherwise my notion log tag for prev more in depth setups :-)

1) this is my weekly layout, only page i use rly, obviously have heavily removed a lot of details into a template style so i don’t dox my entire life lol. there’s also a next week toggle under prev week, but the phone screen only covers that much in the screenshot

2) poetry archive my beloved.. the short story/reading sections are barren don’t even have a page for this year.. Christ.. but poetry archive keeps ticking along <3 love her dearly

ok

[moralessweasel]

I got summer lu woh (wowee i got something) but like his ougi is just him rescuing a child and then attacking so the imagery that he has to be like “hold up guys a childs drowning” in the middle of battle is hilarious. This is further making me laugh because at 10 of his unique stacks he then double ougis every time so he has to save TWO KIDS. How many kids are saved in my long solo battles that take like 60 turns to clear who knows.
