Just like a person, the Town is a process. It's movement. In this town, people can make the impossible, for it is a machine. A border-breaking machine.

pathologic fest day ten: abandoned world

Here goes the second theme of the patho fest - "Commemorate"

I got inspired by this post

Im genuinely not sure how to feel about that part of pathologic, it's obviously meant to be delved into and analyzed heavily but- if I were an all powerful cosmic entity malicious enough to smack an already suffering world with a plague like the sand pest, I too would disguise myself as a small child playing in their backyard, for the specific purpose of sending some whiney bachelor into an existential crisis. For the funny, not his funny but y'know

Supernatural fandom really needs to use the phrase TPTB when did that fall out of favour?!

You already KNOW Peter smells like The Powers That Be came down, and personally granted him a little bathtub just so he wouldn't have a green aura with flies around him.

There are a lot of changes that Pathologic 2 made that I don't like, but one change I do really like it that Clara is bald. Partially because I think it's cool that it symbolizes both religious devotion and illness, but mostly because it supports my headcanon that she's a Barbie doll that Measly and Thrush gave a bad haircut to.

Hope envisages its future and then acts as if that future is now irresistible, thus helping to create the reality for which it longs. The future is not closed. . . Even a small number of people, firmly committed to the new inevitability on which they have fixed their imaginations, can decisively affect the shape the future takes.
