Things I've Learned from Modding
I can't believe I've been modding for nearly a year! It's been a crazy adventure and I've learned a ton and met some wonderful people. So here's a list of the things I've learned from modding (with a massive grain of salt). If you ever thought about making a mod, be warned!!
Mods are like chocolate or tattoos, you can’t make just one.
Why just have a simple dialogue mod when you can have events, quests, purchasable items, custom maps, custom sprites
??
Polygamy mods HATE other mods, with a never ending, fiery passion and cause eternal code migraines.
Players think their headcanon is actual canon. And they will inform you of this fact.
Some players will hate your mod. They have an undeniable obligation to tell you they uninstalled it.
No matter how many configuration options you have, it is never enough!
That wonderful and detailed description you wrote will be read by virtually NO ONE.
The players who ask the questions are the ones who did not read the wonderful description.
Minor visual glitches are life-threatening and will be reported as bugs.
If you do anything that does not match a popular sprite mod, you will be accused of NPC death, destruction, and mayhem.
You might spend hours on an incredible event with amazing dialogue and intricate animations, then never hear anything about it. 
If there is one single typo, you WILL hear about it. From multiple people. (I do appreciate these reports tbh)
Rude people will be rude because that's they way they are and for no other reason. Ignore them.
Why do I keep making mods?
I love imagining a story, writing it, coding it, and seeing it come to life.
Wonderful comments from players who enjoyed the mod make it worthwhile! (I am not worthy!!)
So I can live in a fantasy land of my choosing.
I love the power of code and learning how to make things happen.
So I will keep making and updating mods, even though no one reads the description. (Please read the descriptions, I'm begging you!)

đŸȘž 🔼 🍅 đŸ§ș 🍯 đŸŒ± The Farmer & The Wizard
Tumblr media
❊ SUMMARY ❊
You need a change, a big one. When your estranged grandfather passes away and bequeaths you his farm in a little town just south of the middle of nowhere, you take it as the sign you needed to make a change instead of waiting for one.
The farm, while having fallen into a state of disrepair, is just the thing to cure your modern-world ailments. The people are kind and always ready to offer help, if a bit unusual. They have old superstitions, a haunted community center, and a resident wizard. Spoiler alert: those last two on the list take some getting used to.
Yes, things are different here but you have a sneaking suspicion that the slow pace and a certain alchemical practitioner are going to remind you that sometimes, all you need is time and a little bit of magic.
THIS SCROLL WAS LAST UPDATED: 6/1/24
Tumblr media
❊ STATS ❊
Pairing: Wizard!Gojo Satoru x Farmer!Reader
Rating: M for Mature, 18+ only minors do not interact
Warnings: Fantasy/Stardew Valley violence, sexual content, angst (maybe like just a tiny lil bit)
Tags: Stardew Valley AU, strangers to friends to lovers, red thread of fate, soulmates (kinda) eventual smut, fluff focused, canon divergent, more tags to come (literally am too excited, I need to get this masterlist post out in the world lol)
Projected Word Count: 100K
Author’s Note: In unsurprising news, I have still been in the trenches with my Stardew Valley hyperfixation. Then, along comes this lovely PC Gojo mod and the fate of this fic was sealed. It's going to be inspired a touch by that mod (which I will link below, full credit to that amazing modder) and will heavily follow a standard Stardew Valley play through timeline. I'm a lil nervous to write Gojo since he doesn't fall neatly into the character type I normally am drawn to but I have WRITING HANDS (like jazz hands but for writers :P ) and so I'm adding another fic to my WIPs list.
Important Note: This fic is part of this blog's contribution to the @ficsforgaza initiative!

Last Photo & Song
NO CHEATING: You’re starring in a movie with the last person saved in your camera roll and the last song you listened to is the title. Who/what is it?
Thanks @burntheedges @quicksilvermad and @magpiepills for tagging me in this (several days ago, I’m sorry I’m so slow!).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alright, so I’ve finally finished watching season 3 of The Bad Batch, and I may have developed a teensy little crush on Crosshair because I guess I can’t resist a bad-boy redemption arc. Din is still my One True Love, of course, but Crosshair has carved out his own little smutty corner in my brain, so I’ve been saving gifs of him smouldering sexily, and this is the latest. [I didn’t make a note of the creator, but whoever is responsible for this 3-second miracle, thank you đŸ™đŸ»]
Hmm
 me and Crosshair in a movie called Just Give Me a Reason. Based on the lyrics, I’m gonna say my character has to help him overcome his guilt and trauma about everything that happened to him, and in turn, he helps me with some of my own emotional baggage

Just give me a reason, just a little bit’s enough Just a second, we’re not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again It’s in the stars, it’s been written in the scars on our hearts That we’re not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again
Maybe it’s set on Pabu after season 3 finishes, and I’m a surgeon/modder who comes to the island with my own bitter story of loss and regret. Keen to help his brother’s recovery, Hunter asks me to make Crosshair a prosthetic hand, except Crosshair refuses at first. Then he and I slowly build a rapport, and he eventually consents to the mod. I start working on it, and we get closer and closer while helping one another through our respective emotional traumas. There’ll be some kind of angst/disaster, of course, and the requisite third-act conflict/crisis, but it’ll all resolve itself – probably thanks to Omega, who is more mature than her brothers.
Depending on the movie’s rating, there are two possible endings. (1) When Crosshair’s new hand is finally ready, there’s a tastefully shot sex scene where he puts it to good use and proves he can translate his marksman’s steady reflexes and pinpoint accuracy into other enjoyable pursuits 😏. Or (2) The third-act conflict/crisis results in the new hand being a no-go, but there’s a sweet ending wherein I convince Crosshair he’s just as loveable with only one hand.
If I wrote for Crosshair, this could totally be a fic. But Din fic ideas pull the strings in this brain, so this’ll have to remain just a gif and an idea!

I’ve tried to include a few Clone fans in my tags in an effort to spread this game beyond just the Pedro fandom (sorry if y’all aren’t into tag games, but it’s nice to be included, I hope?)

31 Days of Dragon Age: Day 02
Oct 02 - Favorite Origins romance
[prompt list]
Tumblr media
Morrigan, my beloved.
The year is 2011, and I am 17 years old, coming off the high of binging Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. I am a very closeted lil baby gay, and now a diehard Bioware fan because they made a game that let me be a butch af action hero lady who gets the girl in the end.
So I decide to check out some other Bioware games. I start with Dragon age, and the first thing I do is look up the romances to make sure this game will also let me kiss girls as a girl. And I am met with both excitement, and disappointment. Because I see that Lelianna will be my romance option, but I know the moment I lay eyes on Morrigan that SHE is the goth girlfriend for me.
Of course she's straight.
Devastating, but thankfully I am saved by modders. The first thing I do before I even start the game for the first time is install a mod that will let me romance Morrigan as a female warden.
I had a great time. She was everything I hopped. Morrigan is a complicated woman and her romance is messy, full of potential for angst and longing. I love that shit. I also headcannoned that she and my warden were able to have the old god baby together via the power of blood magic.
Seeing Kieran in DAI was so bittersweet, because I could not, unfortunately, import a lesbian blood magic old god baby world state via the keep, and so my Warden and Morrigan's love went unacknowledged.
Now, the year is 2024. Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been announced, and I start a new playthrough of the series in anticipation. I decide I want to make some choices I've never made before, but one choice I can't resist making again is romancing Morrigan. And I want DAI to respect our relationship this time, so I make a male warden. And he's trans, because I've been through a bit of a gender thing, and I can't help but see an opportunity to rework my old blood magic lesbian baby headcannon in to a blood magic transition headcannon.
I guess this was just an overly long way of saying 'I'm queer and I love Morrigan and I think blood magic rituals have great potential for queer wish fulfillment'.

🟹 Then n' Now - High Voltage edition ⚡
Yoinking @arcandoria's idea and making one of those before/after post focused on the babies💛 motivated by AND motivating @elvenbeard to do the same đŸ˜ŒđŸ€
This will be both a VP and Modding journey 👉
▶ December 2020
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "No mods, we die VP like men!"
AKA open up PhotoMode and get as close as you can to your fav, playing with angles while getting the camera stucks in the surrounding 80% of the time and trying to make the characters look at each others in a "natural" way 👀
▶ early 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "I learned how to app swap and I cannot be stopped"
I got into modding because/thanks to Mitch đŸ€  and the first thing I did was to .app swap him into all of the romance scenes đŸ˜©đŸ€ My BIG MODDER GOAL back then was to have Him and Valentin in the panzer scene, meaning I needed to find a way to:
Swap Valentin into Panam's place
Swap Mitch into V/Player's place
Unlock the camera / have a true free-roam experience
and also remove all of the HUD and green filter
I was just a tiny dude with Big Dreams 👀
▶ first half 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "I can change clothes now! AKA OOC-fest"
Ugh. JHGFHJGHFJ
Looking back at some of the stuff I did before legit gives me so much icks now 💀 the joy and freedom of being a simp with fresh modding power, you just Do Stuff because You Can! Who cares if the character turns extremly OOC, right? keeping them for the memories đŸ€­
▶ first half 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "ReShade? What's a ReShade"
My first month of playing around with Reshade! Everything was way too saturated, too bright or too dark- but it was new and exciting! Experimenting with more swapping, more photomode-posing đŸ€
▶ July 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "the Modding High"
Camera unlocks, Player Replacer, FixSwaps, Bi River trick, Blur Remover, Facial expressions for V, Swap to Everyone... my peak as a modder still to this day ngl
I achieved all I ever wanted, did the mods I needed to be able to smooch Mitch and have my canon panzer scene 🧡 (cannot showcase it here on Tumblr for hornyjail reason)
The "bi river" trick was involving CyberCat, an old save editor software that allowed you to swap V presets! You had to launch the romance scene with River as a fem V, then save at the start of it using the "Save Anytime" mod, edit your save file by swapping in your Male V preset, and Voila~ you had a Masc V in the River scene :D
▶ August 2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "Custom poses Fever"
...and the first true love kisses!
Searching and modding your first poses swaps, then spawning the blorbos in game, timing the expressions and animation correctly and... having them "kiss for real" for the first time đŸ„șđŸ˜© ouugghh IT HITS! It hits so good!
From there, the rest of 2021 was focused on playing around with custom poses and exploring my own canon; giving new canon-compliant appearances to Mitch and Valentin, doing VP comics... also exploring some AUs and doing special occasion outfits, like Halloween!
▶ 2022
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "I can create my own story"
I focused a lot on my own canon in 2022, via comics and photoset exploring what happens to both Mitch and Valentin's respective past and shared future together
Modding was also a big part of the year! There wasn't any big breakthrough other than the scenerid extract for custom poses, which allowed me to finally use the amazing tender animations from the Judy scene in my boys tent đŸ€­
▶ 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media
━ "Still here"
There will always be new exciting way of exploring and creating content for my babes- the knowledge of custom made poses allowing us for even more angst, tenderness, passion!
and I'm looking forward to it all đŸ„ș🧡
Those years's been a whole creative journey~ and it's thanks to those two, my blorbos, my beloved stinkies, that I'm the modder and photographer that I am now!
Who knows where they'll take me next 💛😊

Leven als een monoliet
Natuurlijk gaat alles gewoon door als je je vertrouwde leven voor twee maanden verruilt voor een heel andere wereld. Hier geen appartementengebouwen rondom, maar zicht op een hoge heuvel waar vier ezels grazen, hier geen kwekkende kauwtjes, maar de koekoek, en als ik rechts uit mijn slaapkamerraam kijk zie ik de besneeuwde bergtoppen van de Pyreneeën. De dood bereikt mij ook hier, zo blijkt. En nieuw leven.
Vorig voorjaar, weer op een andere plek, kwamen er ook twee berichten, een doodstijding en de aankondiging van nieuw leven. Dat waren berichten die in de pas liepen met het leven zelf. Dit jaar een soortgelijk paar, maar de ene is wrang en de andere wringt. Iemand is na enkele dagen dood gevonden en iemand wil opnieuw geboren worden door van geslacht te veranderen. De een is een oude vriendin, de ander een kleinkind. De een wilde ooit boeddhistisch non worden. De hergeboorte van het kleinkind zal nog lang op zich laten wachten.
Mijn vriendschap met de gevonden vrouw was een soort door het leven gearrangeerde vriendschap, tegen wil en dank soms, en toch een van bijna veertig jaar. Zij, kunstenaar, was een van de meest complexe personen die ik gekend heb. Vriend R, die haar af en toe bij ons tegenkwam, bekende een verborgen deel van hemzelf in haar te herkennen, maar wel 'de getemde versie van haar'. Haar levenswijze boezemde hem angst in, als een '(existentieel) gevreesde duisternis'. Zij herkende op haar beurt iets in hem.
Ik bedacht dat zij van zichzelf een soort monoliet had gemaakt. Monoliet: een staande steen die zich losmaakt uit de omgeving. 'Monos' kan ook 'eenzaam' betekenen, leer ik. Maar dat steen-zijn klopt toch niet. Zij omwikkelde een mogelijk harde kern (bezat zij die?) met een steeds dikker wordend lichaam, met orakeltaal en spotternij in een wonderlijk Nederlands, en met kleren als wapperende lappen. Ze rookte stevig, dronk stevig, was heel spaarzaam met vriendelijkheid en nog spaarzamer met openheid. Naar mij kon zij genereus zijn – soms.
Misschien een monoliet van modder dan, handgevormd, samengeperst op eigen kracht, gedroogd door het leven, en een die vervolgens weer verkruimelt. Ik ga me geen voorstelling maken van haar laatste dagen en uren.
Ik ben hier heel dichtbij het sterven van iemand anders geweest. Ik las 'Het archief' van Thomas Heerma van Vos. In de laatste paar indrukwekkende hoofdstukken volg ik Pierre, de hoofdpersoon, die mee voor zijn stervende vader zorgt. Helemaal aan het einde, als er amper kracht over is gebleven, zegt de vader: 'Ik zou... Ik zou zo graag nog een keer verliefd worden. [–] Op een plek, een boek, een baan, een mens, een verhaal, een tijdschrift, een redactie, íets'. Ook hij was bij leven vaak een monoliet. Hij werd voor even zacht.

De auto draait, de wereld slaat dicht, Maar Teddy, jij springt, vastberaden, licht. Zazou, mijn roep door het water, jij hoort, Met één ruk, haal ik je eruit, geen angst die ons stoort.
Door de modder, door het koude water, We staan, we vechten, sterker dan later. Geen val, geen draai, niets houdt ons tegen, Samen overwinnen, dit leven, dit leven geven.
Dankbaar, niet voor de angst die we voelden, Maar voor de kracht die ons bindt, voor wat we bedoelen. Teddy en Zazou, jullie en ik, We zijn hier, we zijn sterk, we blijven in het licht.

BAM!! Daar is opeens een herbeleving, voor het eerst sinds 3 jaar. Het klopte niet helemaal maar voed wel mijn angst.
Mijn fundament voelt als modder, mijn muren voelen als papier en mijn brein trilt in mijn schedel . De angst jaagt als een intercity door mijn lijf en het voelt alsof er 3 zakken zand op mijn borst drukken

Elden Ring, das gefeierte Open-World-Spiel von FromSoftware, wurde durch einen Mod neu interpretiert, der ein Horror-Element einfĂŒhrt, das an die Weeping Angels aus "Doctor Who" erinnert. Der Mod, benannt "Sinister Statues", ist die neueste Schöpfung des Modders Dasaav, welcher auch fĂŒr den First-Person-Mod fĂŒr Elden Ring bekannt ist. https://youtu.be/5Kb9fdDd0YM Im "Sinister Statues" Mod stĂ¶ĂŸt man auf eine einzigartige und haarstrĂ€ubende Herausforderung. Jeder Gegner im Spiel, von den gewöhnlichen Feinden bis zu den mĂ€chtigen Bossen und sogar die Tierwelt, wird zu einer regungslosen Statue, sobald er ins Blickfeld des Spielers gerĂ€t. Dieser Mechanismus ist direkt von den Weeping Angels inspiriert, einer furchterregenden Kreatur aus der beliebten TV-Serie "Doctor Who." Die Weeping Angels sind Statuen, die sich nur bewegen, wenn sie nicht beobachtet werden, einschließlich in dem Moment, in dem man blinzelt. Das Spielerlebnis in dem "Sinister Statues" Mod wird durch diesen neuen Mechanismus dramatisch verĂ€ndert. WĂ€hrend des Kampfes oder wenn ein Feind den Spieler bemerkt, beginnt die Spielfigur in regelmĂ€ĂŸigen AbstĂ€nden zu blinzeln. Diese Blinzelmechanik fĂŒgt dem Kampf eine strategische Ebene hinzu. Spieler haben eine gewisse Kontrolle ĂŒber das Blinzeln: Indem sie die Interaktionstaste gedrĂŒckt halten, welche die Gegenstandstasche öffnet, können sie das Blinzeln vorĂŒbergehend stoppen. LĂ€sst man die Taste zu frĂŒh los, wird ein Blinzeln ausgelöst und der Timer zurĂŒckgesetzt, was es den Spielern ermöglicht, die Sichtbarkeit ihrer Feinde strategisch zu steuern. Die Kombination des "Sinister Statues" Mods mit dem First-Person-Mod intensiviert das Elden Ring-Erlebnis weiter und verwandelt es in ein Horror-Spiel. Diese Kombination fordert nicht nur die Kampffertigkeiten der Spielenden heraus, sondern auch ihre NervenstĂ€rke sowie die FĂ€higkeit, mit Angst und Spannung umzugehen. Der "Sinister Statues" Mod steht exemplarisch fĂŒr die KreativitĂ€t und Innovation innerhalb der Elden Ring-Community, die Spieler fesselt, wĂ€hrend sie auf die nĂ€chste Erweiterung des Spiels warten. Der Mod, zusammen mit verschiedenen Streamer-Herausforderungen, hebt die vielfĂ€ltigen Wege hervor, wie die Community das Spiel erweitert und neu interpretiert und ihm so neue Ebenen in seiner reichen und weitlĂ€ufigen Welt hinzufĂŒgt.

someone talk to me abt the modder kids and Fennec bonding over their cybernetics, its making me feel somft and angsty bc I imagine the kids' mods are similar to Fennec's in that they're from injuries but they made the decision to mod and could live without them (mostly) whereas Boba took that choice from Fennec (not maliciously) and she has no choice but to live with it bc she's too stubborn to kill.herself when she's perfectly functional

New Vegas is sick as hell, I regret my angst ridden teenage self attributing so much disdain to it because I was
A: Stupid (I was young)
B: Annoyed at faction fanboys because I find all the factions to be too gray (at best) to directly support, at least to fanboy degrees where you pretend they are The Best
while also (even then) finding them all extremely interesting and fuckin' cool to explore
Double the stupid too because I was 100% a fanboy of 3 and let fanboys of factions in NV annoy me, fanboy on fanboy violence.
C: Hated the fucking orange tint the game has. I still fucking hate that god damn tint, if I wanted to feel like my head was in the dirt I'd dig a hole and plant myself. Thank you, modders.
I basically played it to completion, collected all the stuff, did every quest and unmarked event (just like I did in 3) then got annoyed when I heard people say it was perfect because younger me couldn't comprehend it being perfect without a perfect ending being achievable. Also I heard one too many people say the NCR are Pure And Good And Just and I got spiteful to the bureaucrat faction and let that taint yet more of my already blurred interpretation of the game.
ANYWAYS, NV good. I gotta take random shots to both put down my past negativity and just say how good it is.
It's got my favorite DLC in anything ever, Dead Money. It's got some of my favorite party members of all time with Veronica and Arcade (and possibly my least favorite in all of gaming, Boone :)), it's got the ballistic fists which even when the game came out were some of my favorite new toys to play with in the Bethesda engine- a melee weapon that cheats the stupid melee system by just exploding on the enemy when you land a hit, noice.
It's got a metric ton of good, fun, witty, or just interesting writing- and some duds but there's a lot to sweep through. It's got build diversity, it lets speech and barter flourish more than I recall any prior Fallout game doing which is impressive on its own because they honestly could have matched the choice variety of the classics and been fine, but they went nuts with it- or as nuts as can be expected with the deal they struck with Bethesda for time-scale.
It's fun and good :)
And you can kick the NCR dude off the dam with your best friend (and future robot overlord) Yes Man :)

Krim
 gecamoufleerde angst verzamelt zich
aan beide kanten van een ingebeelde lijn
 bevelen ratelen voorwaarts
een volksverhuizing van laarzen
van rupsbanden van stalen pijpen die nonchalant naar het westen wijzen
 verwonderd om de stilte stoppen we
een sprinkhaan in het gras
bijna onzichtbaar in deze grasvlakte van bloed
wat doe ik hier in godsnaam
waarom ben ik gevolgd in dit onbegrijpend staal
 ik ben een periscoop
mijn wereld een vizier
ik zie die avond op de Krim
de zee niet zwart maar hel blauw als je ogen
je spieren een gespannen zoutvlakte
 vooruit nooit achteruit
woel ik me dichter naar jou
zaai ik je ledematen op deze kaart
mijn ogen leeg als naakte huizen
 aan het einde van de dag
in platgedrukte vaalbruine kleren
modder tussen mijn tanden
vind ik jou stuk voor stuk
stel ik je opnieuw samen als een pointillistische god
 ik wou alleen maar bij jou zijn mijn vriend
in dit land van ongevoelige bedden

~They paused.~ Huh. I guess M!As and commands are comparable? Commands seem a lot more rigid, but this is the first Universe like this I've seen in a looong while, so I'm not entirely sure what you guys are capable of. ~They let out a small, amused sound.~ I guess we'll find out. Foreshadowing was right. Enjoy the peace, it's downhill from here. Unless your Mun decides to be forgiving, I suppose. Doubtful, they're a little angst goblin. Most Muns are. (/hj /lh)
((*goblin noises* >:)
She narrowed her eyes. “You’re fuckin’ modders aren’t you.” She had heard the stories about them, users who could change the rules of the world itself. Apparently they were behind the creature she was hunting, and most of the weird things in the world. She had never actually met a modder though, no one she met ever had. (Except for maybe Ferris, but he hadn’t commented on it.) She didn’t even really think they existed at first. But apparently one was standing right in front of her. Joy.

(....)
Net voor ik wakker werd, liep ik op een dun koord over de grens tussen slapen en nadenken, en had ik een halve droom waarin ik in het gras lag en jij in het water stond. Toch waren we dichtbij elkaar. We hadden het over God; over hoe onze relatie met Hem als de nacht was; hoe het altijd overging, maar nooit Ă©cht. Hij kwam altijd terug, was altijd ergens. Ons geloof was zoals je in het water stond, half onder- en half bovenwater. Jij zei: ‘’ik zal psalmen over je schrijven’’.
Het witte licht van de zon schilderde onze huid goud. Ik herinner me de warmte, vooral de warmte, en jij die verscheen en verdween en hoe ik twijfelde of alles echt was. Je noemde me Gideon.
Het water glinsterde en de wereld was lichtgroen. Ik zei: ‘’jij wil nooit iets voelen.’’ Ik wilde het papier in ons lichaam uitvouwen en de tekst herlezen en opzeggen als Spreuken. We moesten drijven in ons gevoel, heel veel inademen en heel veel uitademen, ons verdriet leren glimlachen. Jij zei: ‘’met het ene verdriet is beter te leven dan met het andere.’’
Je brandde altijd. Niet uit woede, maar uit angst. ‘’Er kan zoveel gebeuren,’’ zei je en ik zei: ‘’dat is niet altijd negatief.’’ En jij bracht me bilzekruid, lichtgeel als een kuiken, en je zei: ‘’het is vernoemd naar de God van het leven, maar ook de God van de dood’’, en ik zei: ‘’hoe toepasselijk’’.
Jij verscheen en verdween en mijn ruggengraat werd zacht, licht, ik was van water. Ik dacht aan wetenschap, aan onderzoeken, aan de radio uit elkaar halen om de muziek te vinden. Ik denk dat ik overstroomde en toen weer mens werd.
‘’Jij wil niet voelen,’’ zei ik en in het echt zou je iets zeggen van: ‘’voelen is voor gelukkige mensen’’ maar nu zei je: ‘’vandaag wel’’. En het regende en jouw wimpers plakten samen. Je zei: ‘’liefde is als lopend vuur.’’
Toen ik wakker werd, van het koord viel en in de werkelijkheid terechtkwam, voelde ik de zon nog steeds, warm als koorts. Ik dacht aan je, aan hoe jij verscheen en verdween, hoe jij een waanbeeld was, hoe jij nooit wilde voelen en daar wel, hoe mooi het is om teder te kunnen zijn. Ik dacht aan je met mededogen in mijn keel als tranen. Gemis als modder om mijn hart.
Gisteren mengde ik geroosterde aubergines met een saus van tijm en gember en het rook naar je. De juiste geur kan het missen doen ontsteken, wist je dat. Maar ik was verder gegaan met mijn dag. Had koffie gezet, een gedicht geschreven over de bomen in de ogen van een meisje dat ik niet ken, zodat een jongen die ik niet ken dat aan haar kon geven met Valentijnsdag. Hij betaalde me. Een soort creatieve prostitutie. Ik was naar buiten gegaan. De lucht was grijs, maar de huizen waren donkerbruin en de woonkamers brandden met oranje licht en ik dacht: dat is onze zon, deze winter, dit jaar, hier in Amsterdam.
Ik weet niet of je zal antwoorden. Je antwoordt altijd maar ik weet het nooit zeker. Ik zal moeten vertrouwen. Noem me maar Gideon.
