WHERE: South Station WHO: Tricky (@backmaskcd)
"So you got a new masochist thing going on or this the last person who going to deck you," DJ questioned. He had his feet kicked up onto the desk and was looking at Tricky curiously. Getting up and going to the mini fridge he pulled out a can of juice and handed it to Tricky. "Hold it to your face, still got a bit of a shiner there. Least it makes you look rugged, your modeling career still intact."

DJ actually laughed, "Shit remind me to charge by the minute next time," he said giving Tricky a small shake from the shoulders. "It's always easier outside looking in, you know? Trust me eventually I'ma come around to you asking for to figure some shit out and you'll give me an obvious answer."
"Shit I could cut in front of him no issue, still got both knees going for me," he quipped. Nodding he gave a half grin at Tricky, "This your way of calling me an angel? Careful, you're getting close to flirting and then Dahlia really have your hide." He was fully grinning now, slightly buzzed from their drinks and shots, though happy that Tricky seemed at least a little lighter than he'd come in looking.
Tricky paused to consider DJ's words. He made a point that he hadn't considered before. There was a careful line between the things he blew up and the things he didn't. "Well fuck, DJ, I think you finally gave me that breakthrough people tell me to see a therapist for," Tricky exhaled slowly, head still reeling. He was upset about his fight with James because he wanted him around. He wanted to cause a little disruption, but this was too far, and he was miserable; and it had been a very long time since he regret ruining something just to try to feel anything but empty and numb.
"I think you'd have to get in line after Mal," Tricky chuckled a little, grabbing DJ's shoulder in thanks. "I can't say I blame Dahlia for wanting to protect the kids; I was just in my wallowing hole. I really do feel like the skies just opened up and one of those biblically accurate fucks came down to slap me across the face. I do want to be around you. You're good."

Kitty Being Constructed.
#nunodoll terry cat..... not made of terry LOL im using some linen weave from an old busted t shirt rn#mostly as a mockup to learn how to do this thang. but im liking my lumpy cat#out of terry it'd be a lot more forgiving because of the pile. altho im glad i did a mockup because im learning a lot#1) i forgot to press the middle seams in the head before sewing the back and front together and i shoulda LOL#2) the original pattern probably either stuffs the tail before sewing it in and forgot to mention OR uses the terry pile as a faux stuffing#i just stuffed it since i had no pile LOL and 3) mayhaps runo was using a knit terry?#most toweling i find is woven but theres some things in the pattern that are really tricky without a TINY bit of give#like not a lot of stretch but like a liiiiittle bit. it looks like theyre using a weave but its so low resolution so i dunno <3#maybe even a weave with a little more give? because the inner ears and legs are smaller intentionally#but its a little tricky to do with this linen kjfsdhjlkfsdfd i also shoulda uses a lighter pen to trace it and also probably lighter thread#cause red thread behind slightly translucent blue makes those seams a little muddy. my laziness in never switching out bobbin threads has#finally caught up to me HGKJDSKFDSJHdsa but its fun! i gotta finish up adding seams and a face to the head and then sew da head on#(thats what the blue thread it for. i remembered to at least use it for the finishing touches LOL)#and then i shall have a silly lumpy kitty. hee hee

why are most sci fi fans the most idiotic and ignorant debate bros. a book called "Three Body Problem" has nothing to do with queerness? it has nothing to say about gender binaries and sexuality? not even imply? oh i see it's just a sci fi show. oh so adding queer characters is pushing an agenda. oh adding queer characters is pushing a WESTERN agenda! really!
i dont know how to tell you that a show adapted for a Netflix/American audience called "3 Body Problem" is 1) inevitably going to become a little bit more Americanized, but also 2) saying something about QUEERNESS as well as POC, you know, the most marginalized communities in America. If the characters in the trilogy aren't explicitly queer, don't you think the show is trying to say something about QUEER ASIANS when they DO write them to be queer??
off topic for a sec but stay with me: the issues with American politics and ideology is that it's so binary and strict. creating a third "body" of/to control is not the solution. the path to improving America is to look outward. for example, Chinese philosophies of yin and yang, give and take, wholeness of the self, etc. The American government's obsession with surveillance and controlling your feelings, thoughts, identity (Catholicism) is disrupted by Buddhist philosophy of meditation: calm concentration, harm no living creature, whatever is in your own head when you meditate is up to you, no thought you think is inherently bad.
so how is the story NOT about queerness and marginalized people? the first episode shows a half white, half Chinese woman kill herself before immediately cutting to a white woman singing on a stage, "I kissed a girl and I liked it." That juxtaposition is deliberate film-making dude!!! it's on PURPOSE!!! why is the asian woman at the bottom of a lake while the white woman gets to dance on stage? why is the asian woman silent and dead while the white woman gets to sing and live?
People who don't fit into the binaries, like queer people and mixed race people, are threatened by the world that says, "You shouldn't be here. You don't fit in. There isn't space for you." When these non-binary (as in, not fitting into binaries) characters hear that "God" is coming, that the Judgment Day is coming, it feels like the world is ending, they're gonna be the first to be killed, and it's best to just get it over with. Really similar to how queers, disabled people, poc often react when fascists rise to power. the showrunners are not doing this on accident!!!??
lastly. including queer characters in a story that was originally written in Chinese is not disrespectful to the work or to Chinese culture, because guess what!! there are queer people all over China too!!
#i really hope this doesn't sound like i'm defending Netflix.#i am trying to get copies of the books in english but so tricky :(#three body problem#3 body problem#i saw a reddit thread about the representation of Asian male sexuality in the show snd just. almost lost my mind#i do understand the sexlsss Asian male stereotype like Believe me i fucking do. that's not what was haopeninggg#and you know what. sometimes Male sexuality is not the focus. the show was about WOMEN IN STEM. WOMEN!!!!!!!#& very strange to assume that 2 characters had sex when they kissed and the scene ended & then#say 'they turned their socialist solidarity into just sex!' 🤨#人#meta#& like. pls dont assume i missed the point of the plot as well. i get it ok..#matrices

*thinking about the villains' tragic fates*
You know, their routes never really talk too much about their fates and how it effects them mentally. Or how the MC feels about it, and dealing with the fear and angst of it with the slight exception of William's route
*eyes widen*
... I think I know what the sequels are gonna be about
#I am scared both because it will be angsty and because they might not do this and mess up the sequels#from what I can tell Ikemen sequels can be pretty hard to do right#partly because the playerbase has over a year to imagine their own post-route and get attached to that#and because added onto an already finished story can be difficult without potentially accidentally undoing the efforts of the characters#I haven't read a lot of ikemen sequels so I could be wrong#but Ikevil doesn’t have this problem so much because it feels like there are some loose threads left with their relationship and character#not enough that it leaves you unsatisfied but enough that you could definitely expand upon it#I guess the tricky thing then would be expanding upon it in a way that people like#but for me I noticed some of the routes don't feel like one full finished story in terms of their relationship#it feels like the beginning of something#specifically I get that feeling for Liam's and Harrison's route#like the story ends with them getting together because we spent the whole story getting to know each other and learning their backstory#but it still feels like there's stuff to untangle and figure out in a relationship with them#I just hope that some of the sequels will be more slow paced#and whatever Crown mission going on is only meant to enhance the character journey like in Elbert's route#instead of being the main source of drama#but it could depend with the character and what type of story a sequel for them would be best for#like William's sequel being more action-packed and stakes while Liam's is more soft#I feel like that would fit them#thank you for coming to my ted talk#...in the tags#ikevil#ikemen villains#ikemen series

also we are at the halfway point and like, nothing substantial has happened
#text post#we still haven't met the blonde lady either!#this is similar to s2 pacing problems#i feel like haolin has these really grand ideas and knows that he wants to get from point a to b#but has no idea how to like satisfyingly write the in between#so a lot of it ends up feeling like filler#idk just my opinion#it's...a tricky thing to balance#bc like if you want to make a story so plot heavy and filled with all these threads which may i remind you season 1 was NOT doing at all an#who knows if that was the plan all along or not#but anyway#if that's what you wanna do!!#it's not like filler DOESN'T have its place#it absolutely can be used to flesh out the world and characters etc etc#but that...doesn't feel like what's going on rn#it just doesn't feel like any of this was thought out#like steins;gate for example also spent a lot of time just chilling with its characters and exploring the dynamics and stuff#but like...all of that became relevant later iirc#whateverrrrr just me thinking thoughts#can't wait for next week! looks like some more plot to chew on

But the surest sign that his confession had been good was, he knew, the amendment of his life
— I have amended my life, have I not? he asked himself
A Sinner at the crossroads between faith and revolution, only to find that he believes in neither option. It is your job Manager, to make him come to a conclusion in what he believes in before things get too unsightly. Do not concern yourself with his poetics on the clock, as trying to understand them will consume too much paid work time.
It's bloomsday! Have a Sinner based on Stephen instead because a Sinner based on Bloom would just be Outis but Irish and I already did that. Or, What if Sinclair had more Catholic guilt and also the guilt of not following in his father's self destructive footsteps against the British The Wing that seized control of his District and disenfranchised them?
#limbus Company#lcb OC#Simultaneously the easiest and hardest text to make a sinner of#There's tons of symbolism and obvious threads but a lot of it is tied up in christian and cultural concepts that are tricky to translate#also his dumb hat being one of his mortal sins is actually textually canon Joyce is a very serious author

#To be clear that last post is not an attempt to guilt trip anyone.#I am aware that the nature of my girlie is tricky to accommodate. And I do have SO much fun with the fluff and the jokes#I just also REALLY love the gore and violence more than majority RP threads would imply. XD#OutofÉljúðnir

🛸💫For a moment I knew cosmic love…💫🛸
#taylor swift#down bad#Payton crafts#I don’t know why but when I do brick stitch on my own projects it comes out wonky#but following a pattern someone else made? no problem!#wanted the words to look like they were getting abducted#the metallic thread was a bit tricky to work with it kept knotting up on me#I think I know my strategy for doing brick stitch going forward though#as always ignore the pet fur it’s inescapable

god that post is right i'm not doing enough to make my top gun fanfiction Uncomfortably Aware of the fact that everyone involved was probably deployed in iraq. need to finally do all that research that i've been putting off.
#some of the problem is that the characters involved#can't possibly have interrogated their motivations and come to a moral conclusion#because if they had they would have led incredibly different lives!#the related problem to that problem#is that the facade these characters live under#is the one that so many americans are unwilling to interrogate#and that most of my readers will thus take at face value#obviously there's a way to do it and i want to find that way#it's just...a tricky needle to thread at my skill level#to instill discomfort in my readers....highest possible achievement

closed starter for @exmcrtis (sutton) location: tricky's house
He had needed about a week to really process the information Addison gave him. A daughter? It seemed unlikely, but for some woman to remember and name him as the father? Especially after his conversation with Anika, why would someone fabricate a story with a missing person? He was still conflicted, but he could only delay the inevitable for so long.
He had asked Addison to go get her and bring her here for a talk. He wasn't even sure what they'd have to talk about, but she wanted to see him, and he owed her at least that much.
"Hey Trick," Addison let themselves into the house, followed by Sutton. "I can hang around a bit, if you two want me to. I'm usually pretty good at mediating conversations." The comment was aimed at Sutton, but Tricky himself shrugged, standing up.
"Hi," his own body felt awkward as he extended a hand to the girl who was supposed to be his daughter. "I, uh. I'm Tricky."
