[jimlingss]

two years!! :D it’s been two years since my final curtain call and seven years since Jimlingss began! Seven years!!! Now that’s a crazy yet meaningful number!

Hello to everyone reading this message :D hopefully you remember me (it’s ok if you don’t) and for those who care, hopefully this is a treat! just a quick update on my life — I successfully completed my first year of law school and what a whirlwind it’s been. 

I’ve had so many ups and downs in the past year and I honestly feel like I’ve changed a lot. like evolved from pichu to pikachu. It was my first time moving away from home, away from my parents, and making so many friends. it’s been 20% bitter and 80% sweet. overall, I feel like I’ve learnt so much about myself and became a lot more stable in who I am.

school is hard but completely manageable. luckily, I don’t think my choice was wrong. there are days I quite enjoy what I’m learning. I got 2 years left in the game. soon (hopefully) I’ll be making the big bucks $$$ and I’ll be able to fund my sugar baby dreams (except I’ll also be my own sugar mommy). Although my dating life is as stale as always with 0 movement, I’ve become close with a handful of folks that I hold dearly to my heart. guess I’m in my friendship arc hahahaha

funny enough, I actually came back to this blog out of my own volition 2 weeks ago and re-read some of my stories. I feel so nostalgic. some of my stories really slap ngl. anyway, I really miss creative writing so much. Fortunately, there’s a few extracurriculars at school that allow me to write creatively so it’s somewhat of an outlet for me. it’s not fully satisfying but it’s something!!

I regularly come back to tumblr to check messages and do plagiarism checks lol. Speaking of which, I’ll take this time to answer some messages in my inbox.

unfortunately, i don’t have any socials that anyone can follow me on. my socials are pretty private and only the people who i’m close to, I follow and vice versa. but no worries because I will always come back to this blog to do a yearly update so you’ll hear from me! I will satiate your curiosity if you’re every curious about what I’m up to!!

for anyone who ever messages me compliments to my stories and/or missing my presence, no worries, I read them all :) your messages and feedback is never lost! it’s very sweet and always warms my heart.

if you can’t reach my masterlist, it’s here lol

I’ve kind of fallen off my fic reading game so if you ask me if I know a specific fic, I won’t be much of help unfortunately ://

if my fics ever help you through hard times, then I’m super glad!!! life can undoubtably be downright terrible. life can really really suck (understatement). but I think it’s comforting to know that everyone at some point thinks the same. it’s a universal sentiment - and in that, you’re not alone.

anyway, that’s it for now! you’ll hear from me again!

I’ll be back! And I hope you will too! :>

Audio Drama Sunday - 14th Jan ✨

Oh, friends, I have had a shit week but these listens have definitely gone some way to making it bearable. Happy Audio Drama Sunday 🎧

👻 @tellnotalespod oh how I love you and how I have missed you!! It seems that some time has passed since the end of S1 and Leo has OBVIOUSLY made absolutely stellar choices in the meantime. Nothing is better for one’s mental health than isolation and trusting the slimiest creature on god’s green earth. 

🦀 @thesiltverses (37) my beloved Silt Verses have returned with a frankly exceptional HOUR long episode filled with so many things to scream about that I don’t even know where to start. Val’s revelation that extreme power can also be used to bring people joy is VERY interesting indeed. They were never going to be able to control her, but I doubt it even more now. And PAIGE stepping up!! Part of me really wants a Val vs Paige stand off but most of me wants to protect Paige at all costs… I am loving the music choices this episode and the scene with the telephone calls was so good! Also, PLEASE stop foreshadowing Carpenter’s death, I am going ‘lalalalalala I can’t hear you!!’

🧳 I listened to episode 8 of Travelling Light by @monstrousproductions after a night shift and the hazy tiredness only served to make it even more transcendentally beautiful. I adore the blossoming friendships aboard the Tola, especially between the Traveller and Óli 😭🌌

👁️ @malevolentcast (39) I love it when you can *feel* that an episode is gearing up to a season finale, a few little loose strands tied up here and there but one BIG problem looming for the finale. I NEED to remember to not listen to this show when I’m emotionally compromised in any way because I found myself bloody sobbing as Marie was talking about her son. I should know that Malevolent is going to play dirty with my emotions. 

🏛 @the-mistholme-museum ENDLESS okay I don’t want to ruin this for anyone who hasn’t listened yet but !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!

🐬 @patterspod P Files brought creative levity into our lives with the tale of Professor Fantabulum. I’m honestly a huge fan of the idea of creative genius as a torch passed on to the people who you inspire

🌨️ @thewhitevault (5) Oh I just don’t trust this guy at all. . . everything he says is so perfectly plausible that there’s just obviously something wrong with him. My friend pointed out that the family meeting mentioned surveyors . . . . .  Now S has been killed by something . . . . I just adore the way The White Vault slowly ramps up the cosmic kind of horror but you’re so distracted by all the other scary human shit going on that your brain is primed and ready to be terrified by the obviously fictional stuff by the time it happens. It’s such clever writing!! 

❤️‍🔥 The Love Talker (6) Ah, now, Ren…. Just because you *can* do something, doesn’t meant necessarily mean that you should… you feel me? Some of the anatomical descriptions in this episode made me want to vomit a little. It’s so awful, I need to know what happens next!!

🏢 @somewhereohio (S2E5) I’m absolutely living for these scenes with Green and Sterling. Are they squishing my heart into pieces? Yes. Do I feel sick to my stomach thinking about the impossibility of trying to perfect and control the one you love? Yes. Can I have more, please? 

🍾 I finished season 1 of @ameliapodcast and what an absolute DELIGHT that ending was!! What an absolutely masterful raising of the stakes at just the right moment in time to keep the listener absolutely hooked. I hope Tara and Lily come back one day, they were so much fun and I think will be even more fun as free agents! 

🌫️ @souloperatorpod dropped this week and the first episode is very intriguing indeed! I think I need to relisten without any distractions if I want to stand a chance of collecting all the threads of red string I’m going to need for this show! I really love the theme music and am very excited for more! 

♦️ The Grotto continues to be an absolutely WILD delight. I caved and listened to two episodes this week but it’s okay because I still have ep 4 in my back pocket. I love the music, the sound design, the fact that it is literally impossible to work out what the hell is going to happen next. Go listen to The Grotto!! 

Thanks to everyone making art - it makes things better 💓 I’m so excited for @camlannpod next week!!

Warframe Shower Thoughts on Time Travel

Since Warframe's new storyline is delving more into time travel, it's rather interesting that the narrative has already answered the question/plot hole of "Why don't we just time travel over and over again until we get it right?"

It's not that we can't. As far as we know, we're planning to travel back to 1999 again and just not be late, this time. The Palimpsest of Spacetime outright says that events can be rewritten, though traces of the original will persist, and accordingly we're pretty comfortable with saving Golden Cradles in the Undercroft on a regular basis.

So we clearly can.

Why don't we do it more often?

It's because, as the Drifter learns in The Duviri Paradox, constantly resetting the Spiral to get everything right is a trap that leaves them stagnant, stuck, spinning inside their little wheel.

I mean, there's a lot of people in this System who would benefit from a second chance, be it the Kavor, that Syndicate hostage we failed to save, that Solaris who got hauled off for brainshelving, and so on. Eudico has a ton of guilt over her many failures. Konzu remembers people who are still lost to their Narmer veils. Shouldn't we want to fix everything, since we kind of can?

So why don't we?

It's because, as the Operator learns in The New War, getting trapped in a recursive timeline means they have to re-experience all the bad bits too and, worse, while they're stuck in the past they're losing the war in the present with dire consequences for the people they love.

Warframe's take on recursive and infinite time travel loops doesn't necessarily need technobabble to explain plot holes like "Why don't Operator/Drifter just use time travel to undo every bad event?" It's enough that both visions of its main characters have in-character reasons to think "That's not always the best idea."

Kind of a neat little twist to DE's storytelling.

I talk about Victor and Eli a lot but like. I wanna take a minute to talk about Stell. Mostly bc I'm thinking of my fic rn and how helpless he is to his situation despite being the director of EON. He's supposed to be in charge of the entire operation and yet there are constantly things he either has no knowledge of or no control over. And that's So interesting to me

I don’t care about consistent scaling with how amazing the spacewalk and skyboxes are.

not sure if this makes any sense but i’ve noticed that the triforce is not there at all in botw/totk era (is it even mentioned??) and yet, the symbol is still present, in people’s clothes, the royal family crest thingy, even link’s archaic tunic and zelda’s zonai era dress has its pattern somewhere, so overall the image is there but the concept itself is missing, what is the significance of this?

my personal theory, backed somewhat by evidence from both botw and totk, is that the triforce as a concept has been lost to time beyond the symbol. I believe that sonia and rauru are the "first king and queen of hyrule" in that they are the founders of hyrule as we see it in botw, but NOT the originators of hyrule as a kingdom across ALL games (more on that here.) with this in mind, and knowing that botw is at least 10k years removed from the last cycle, i think it's likely that by the time sonia and rauru built their hyrule, the triforce was a legend that had lost much of its meaning, and thus it wasn't enshrined in the new kingdom's legend and passed down. sonia and rauru may have known the symbol as something that denoted great power, but they clearly have no idea of its real ritual significance. in botw, zelda knows it as the symbol of the royal family, which i think is likely what sonia and rauru know it to be as well and that's why it appears in sonia's tattoos and throughout botw and totk. they took a symbol that they understood to mean power and godliness and used it as a symbol of their new kingdom and their ideals, without fully understanding the actual history behind it.

in terms of like. where the triforce ACTUALLY is i think it's likely that the physical object is fragmented and stuck to the souls of the hero, princess, and monster respectively a la oot by the time botw comes around, since zelda's sealing power manifests as a triforce symbol on her right hand which seems to be an obvious oot callback. (her mother supposedly had the same power, so it's possible the wisdom piece has just been jumping from princess to princess for thousands of years lmao.) if it's been fragmented like this for generations, since sonia and rauru's time or even long before, it wouldn't be surprising for knowledge of the triforce as an object to be lost to time, with only the symbol and vague references to sacred power remaining.
