Alright. I’m watching 1x11 and trying a new way of liveblogging. Which is just me writing random paragraphs. Enjoy.

A creature of magic mourning the loss of a creature of magic 😭

“Arthur is a hunter. It's in his blood. Whereas you are something entirely different.“ reminds me of “He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature.“ “You are wrong.” Especially with the way that Arthur then proves what is in his heart by the end of the episode, and how his ‘heart’ is shown to constantly guide him towards the ‘correct’ choice in s5 (e.g. “My heart says do anything I can to save Mordred.“)

“You've got a face like a wounded bear ever since we got back from that hunting trip." Arthur means bear. I have no idea what to do with this information.

The unicorn as a metaphor for those sorcerers who “do no harm” and thus Camelot serves no purpose in killing them. Especially since people like the Disir and Alator describe the purge as a “hunt”.

The drought serving as a parallel to the events that happened before the purge to Uther, in that Arthur sees all the harm that “magic” is doing to the land and his people, just like Uther witnesses Ygraine’s death. Arthur initially refuses to accept that what happens is caused by him, just like Uther does. But unlike Uther, Arthur is able to acknowledge his mistakes given time (it’s interesting how in the book adaptation of 1x02 merlin makes this comparison too)

“If it is magic, it's more powerful magic than I possess.“ So unicorn magic is more powerful than Merlin’s magic. Would dragon magic be more powerful too? Is that why Merlin couldn’t heal Arthur from the poison of Mordred’s sword tha was forged in a dragon’s breath?

Merlin not understanding hand signals is my life 😂💖

Ok I can literally draw so many parallels between Anhora and Arthur’s first conversation, and Nimueh and Uther’s conversation in 1x09. Especially from how both Arthur and Uther seem completely unable to understand how the ‘curse’ that happened to Ygraine and Camelot was technically their fault.

“And could you bear for your children to see you be executed?“ The way in which Arthur says this breaks my heart because he does understand the feeling of blaming himself for the loss of a parent, just like those hypothetical children would. This is highlighted more by the fact that Evan later plays on Arthur’s insecurities about being his father’s son.

“If you're tested again, you have a chance to end your people's suffering. I know you want that more than anything." Reminds me of what Bradley says about Arthur putting Camelot above everything, even his personal relationships. Compare this to Lancelot and Merlin, who’s “something that is more important than anything” is a person (or people, in the case of Lancelot).

I LOVE S1 MORGANA. S1 AND 2 MORGWEN WOULD HAVE MADE A PERFECT QUEEN DUO FIGHT ME.

Merlin’s face when Arthur says he’s going to the forest to seek Anhorra out 🥺 Also the way he looks back like he wants to see the exact moment Arthur figures out that he’s eating rat meat 🤣 Merlin’s sarcastic little nod. Arthur’s shit-eating grin. This is what I mean by sibling dynamics.

AND THEN THEY TURN ON MORGANA ASDJSAJASLDKKLDJSA. MERLIN. ARTHUR. NO 🤣🤣🤣

“The King must wonder if you are even his son.“ I absolutely do not like how Anhora chose to do the test with Evan here. I hate it. But it does prepare Arthur for a lot of things. It prepares him to do things his father normally would not do. It prepares him to ignore when people compare him to his father (not that it worked with Agravaine, but Arthur does eventually come around most of the time with Merlin’s help). I find it like a mini 5x03 in a way. Also the fact that Arthur doesn’t even try to defend himself by saying that the looter would have been executed by the law of the land anyway; because deep down he knows that reasoning is wrong. What needs to be changed currently is Arthur’s arrogance in regards to his honour, not his internal morals. He has already proven his internal morals with saving Mordred, laying down his life in 1x09, as well as rescuing Ealdor and his reaction to finding out Will was a sorcerer in 1x10. Right now, Arthur needs to be able to accept that he is wrong.

“Besides I would rather starve than beg my enemies for help! What of our kingdom's reputation? Have you no pride?” “I cannot think of my pride when our people go hungry. They're all I can think of.” I’m screaming over the fact that what ends up beating sense into Arthur is his love for his people. I want to cry. He loves his people so much that his battle cry is “for the love of Camelot” 😭❤️

“Very well. But if you'd caught the sorcerer, I would not have to. That's your responsibility! One day you will understand what it takes to be King!” One day, Uther, you’ll learn to blame yourself for other people’s suffering.

“My people are starving. Camelot is on the verge of collapse. And it is all my doing.“ IT DIDN’T EVEN TAKE ARTHUR A DAY TO LEARN THIS I WANT TO CRY 😭 FUCK YOU UTHER YOU DON’T DESERVE ARTHUR AT ALL. (also the fact that Arthur fiddles with Ygraine’s ring as he says this 😭❤️)

“I trust Arthur with my life” the fact that arthur proves that trust right both in this episode by drinking the goblet and in the previous episode by admitting that he “of course” would not kill Will despite thinking he was a sorcerer.

Why the hell does Anhora use a sword to cast the vine spell.

“I thought I told you to stay at home.” Every time Arthur calls Camelot ‘home’ for Merlin I 🥺

Are those carvings... horseshoes...? Making the shape of a heart....? I--

(Sorry guys. By this point it’s 200% certain that my shipper brain is going to take over. Please expect a lot of screaming)

“What kind of ridiculous test is that? What does that prove?” “What it proves is for you to decide.” Which means that by the end, Arthur realizes what this test proves. And he proves what is truly in his heart by sacrificing his life for merlin. Remember “To sacrifice his life to save Gwen’s... I can’t imagine any man loving me so much.” “I certainly can’t imagine that either” “That’s because you’re not like Merlin. He’s a lover” “Yeah? Maybe that’s because I haven’t found the right person to love”. Remember how in the book adaptation this episode, it says that Arthur proves that there is love in his heart by giving his life for Merlin? Remember “there was magic at the heart of Camelot”? Remember how in the book version Arthur doesn’t deny having love in his heart when Anhora says so when the Unicorn lives again, and instead turns his head to smile at Merlin--

“I’m glad you’re here, Merlin.” @thebookluvrr1816 More 1x11-finale parallels to scream about 😭 The book version describes Merlin’s surprise at this statement, and how he thought it was “ironic and unfair” that they understood each other "at the very moment that death was about to tear them apart.”

“No, I will drink it!” “As if I’d let you.” Someone stop these dollopheads from having a domestic about who will die for the other i beg

“You know me, Merlin. I never listen to you.” reminds me of “I’m the king Merlin, you can’t tell me what to do.” “I always have. I’m not going to change now.” Also, in the books Arthur actually says “farewell, Merlin” after this. Book Arthur is way more suave just saying.

HOW ARTHUR LOOKS INTO MERLIN’S EYES IN HIS FINAL MOMENTS UNTIL HE ISN’T PHYSICALLY ABLE TO ANYMORE. SOMEONE HELP ME 😭

“This was Arthur's test, not yours.“ idk but this reminds me of the fisher king saying “For this is not Arthur's quest, it is yours.“

“You've killed him! I was meant to protect him!” This is going to sound harsh but by this point I think Merlin was still putting Arthur’s destiny above Arthur himself. In the books, there’s a distinct difference in how he feels about Arthur’s death in this scene compared to 1x13 (I’m amazed at how fast his feelings changes, actually). Here, I feel like he focuses more on his own failure to protect Arthur as part of his destiny, but in 1x13, he says that the idea of destiny not being fulfilled was nothing compared to the idea of not being by Arthur’s side. I wonder what happens between this and 1x13 for Merlin’s feelings to change so much.

THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN STATED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE BUT “HE HAS PROVEN WHAT IS TRULY IN HIS HEART“ AS THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON MERLIN. PRODUCERS YOU AIN’T SNEAKY.

Merlin’s smile as he looks down at Arthur sleeping 🥺

Arthur looking at Uther’s hand on his shoulder as if he’s trying to identify a foreign object 🙂 I can never say this enough but fuck you Uther.

“When he who kills a unicorn proves himself to be pure of heart, the unicorn will live again.” this is a stretch but it reminds me of “when Albion’s need is greatest, Arthur will rise again.”

And that’s done! I have a small meta that ties the theme of Arthur and magic in this episode to the same themes in 1x10, but I might do it on a separate post since this one is already so long 😂

#bbc merlin #merlin meta #long post #1x11 #merthur? merthur #someone stop me from having 4 spirals every episode #this is why my chronological watches take me so long

My head’s hurting from work, so I’m going to type on here about the Marvel Comics February 2021 solicitations, for no reason, just to get my fingers moving about something besides whatever it is I do around here (?). (Does anyone know how to lawyer good?? Please send fried cheese).

Venom is looking for light that can pierce darkness, which they invented years ago-- it’s called “light.” That’s what light is, dummies.

There’s a comic character called Gwenom now... I guess that’s the Venom version of Gwen Stacey, a girl that Peter Parker killed when he threw one of his spunk-ropes at her legs at an inconvenient time. Spiderman: the relatable franchise!

Everybody’s fighting something called Knull this month. Knaaaah-I’m-good. Knothanks. Humor! Whee! Knull is actually the Korean version of a null-- if a null could be 12-15 beautiful, dancing hairless men, that would be the Marvel Universe’s greatest villain and art critic John Ruskin’s greatest contribution yet to popular culture. Just like I always said. (A fun thing on the internet is articles about Kpop stars balding, though, in case that got by you... kind of a fun topic...)

Black Panther is about Black Panther dealing with the “yearnings of his heart.” I sure hope this isn’t one of those “Obama wanted to sex up a leggy bisexual socialist” situations (a weird thing for Obama to be rambling about, but I mean, who among us, etc.).

They keep talking about a King in Black. Is that supposed to be a reboot of the King in Yellow? I guess black is cooler than yellow, for goths and what have you. Is this for the goths? Remember when goths were a huge genre in comics? “Life is a black flower in a cemetery, and when you open your mouth to scream, only the darkness can hear it. Anyways, here’s a comic book full of gags and laugh-em-ups.”-- Slave Labor Graphics, 1995-2005. Are those still a thing? Or are there comics now about whatever Generation Z does instead of being goth, like, I don’t know, watching people saying the n-word while playing videogames on twitch....? Are there comics in that genre?? I have no idea-- I don’t know their ways! The youths terrify me... (I spent like 2 minutes at lunch today looking at a Buzzfeed article about how a Tik Tok star vomited a snail and I had to stop because I felt blood coming out of my eyes... It got pretty J-Horror...)

“a mob of Knullified inmates” -- wordplay!

There’s a comic writer with the last name “Grønbekk“ now. I think that’d be neat, having a name that force people who write it to have to figure out how to do special characters on their keyboards for. I mean, it’d make filling in bubbles for the PSAT harder, and all, but when was the last time you took the PSAT? Last week??? During a pandemic?! In this economy? Aurora borealis???

I have a hard time pronouncing S.W.O.R.D. I keep wanting to pronounce the W. But I have an easy time not buying it! HEY-O!!! Proud of myself!

Oh right, they have Esad doing Eternals comics now. That’s like the biggest Kirby thing that I never liked very much, not including Golden Age stuff that I don’t really know. (I mean, there’s always some Golden Age comic about little kids at a ranch who are learning about their bodies or whatever, and who’s even read any of those except for your mom, judging by how much she knows about young men’s bodies). It felt like that was the one where he let the 70′s get to him. Or I don’t know-- the designs aren’t cool. The main guy, Blonde Man, he just has like a crotch-bib, and a bunch of badges he got from a Horseshoe Manufacturing Convention pinned to his plunging-neckline-for-men henley shirt, and like... It just wasn’t Kirby’s best day. (I mean, Kirby’s best day was probably when he murdered a bunch of sleeping Nazis that he came across in the woods who never knew what hit ‘em, but I mean, artistically). Yeah, yeah, the Celestials-- all the big weird Celestial shit-- sure, sure, I mean, yes, he was still Kirby. He was Kirby till the end. But. It’s just not stuff I’ve ever managed to get past like page 5 on... I’m sure Esad’s good or not or whatever, I like his work, but you know, I don’t feel any great like nostalgia or affection for that franchise, so. But there’s going to be a Kumail movie, so it’s like... the MCU’s getting into the Stuber business. I’ll end up seeing it and having to reevaluate eventually...

X-Men Legends, except the first legend up to bat is Fabian Nicieza. A finger goes down on a monkey’s paw somewhere.

X-Force. One of my nephews asked me what an X-Force was out of the blue the other day. I have no idea where he heard about it, but it was pretty worrisome stuff. Have you ever tried to explain what an X-Force is to a child? Not easy! “But you see then Rob Liefeld took over the New Mutants, but here’s the thing: Louise Simonson still had a great career on Superman, which I think shouldn’t go overlooked here”... I'm not great with kids...

“Cable gets together with his – ahem – intimate friend Domino.“

The Iron Man #6 solicitation is longer than the script to some of these comics. Calm it down, Alan Moore! It includes the phrase “With Hellcat on the psychological ropes” -- oh, the psychological ropes and what have you. Those ropes! You wouldn’t want people who are into the ropes in a tumblr way to get the wrong idea. (I’m not into the ropes-- I followed a girl on here who got into the ropes and it just... She seemed happy! I mean, I can’t judge it, but needing a merit badge in knots just to make out-- isn’t life hard enough?).

People in superhero comics are always struggling with their aunt’s sister and their uncle’s nephew. Boy, events are certainly happening to characters. Tensions are at an all-time high. Can things ever go back to how they once were???

There’s a sequel to Marvels except it’s called Marvel...? Kind of a reverse Alien, I guess. A copy of NFL Superpro is going to burst out of Kurt Busiek’s chest. RIP.

Are all of these characters on boats now??

“MARDI GRAS VARIANT COVER BY HUMBERTO RAMOS” Humberto Ramos is going to show us his tits for beads! Finally! Beads! Beads! Beads!

The new issue of Conan will be a “perfect jumping-on point”. You know: for people who worry that they wouldn’t be able to understand a fucking Conan comic without a helping hand. MENSA-types, scientists, philosophers, dreamers, rainbow-connectioners, and what have you. Aiming for that braniac crowd with a jumping on point for Conan, something that’ll help them see through the fog and really finally at last comprehend what’s going on. (Remember when Time Magazine called the Conan movie “Star Wars for psychopaths”...? Reviews for that first movie are a lot of fun).

The new Star Wars series is called the HIGH REPUBLIC. Yeaaaaaah man, George Washington grew that shit. You can make paper out of it. Star Wars knows what’s up. (You know that I was 1000% the “you can make paper out of it” guy for most of my life, you can guess that-- I'm not ashamed; the internet’s judged me too many times for it to hurt anymore!!!).

WATCHMEN PILOT

Okay... more spoilery impressions. I mentioned in my tags that I really didn’t like the Zach Snyder filmed version of WATCHMEN. The biggest reason is that it wallowed in the very same glossy veneer of super-heroes on film (the slo-mo fights, the over-indulgent set-pieces) that WATCHMEN made a point of dismantling. It also didn’t have the comicbook print primary color cynicism of WATCHMEN. I felt drained and sad after reading that book for the right reasons. WATCHMEN the movie, just felt like yet another superhero movie, that was trying to be “edgy” in a very shallow way. THIS however, does carry the same mood as the source material and big BONUS for continuing the story from the comic book ending, instead of the movie ending...

That’s what the raining “squids” were about, BTW. That alluded to the world still seeing after-effects of Veidt’s Apocalyptic monster.

And super-clever usage of Rorschach, this hyper-violent, mentally ill white man, who was physically small and unremarkable, but whose dark way of seeing the world, would believably be warped to be the mascot for white supremacists view of the other. Also, ALSO.... LOVE that this modern alt-universe made the cops the targets of white supremacy instead of it’s mainstream tool. OMG!!! Tulsa... The opening was as harrowing and heart-wrenching as it was disgusting, as it should be. I also noticed that the opening black couple had a darker-skinned woman than her husband, which is rare in media. Typically the woman is lighter in skintone than her romantic partner. The segue into the hip-hop track, being played on the radio by a member of the Kalvary (*whew!*) reminded me of Underground and just made me miss that show all over again. There is a sense of impending doom throughout this pilot. You can just feel that the other shoe will drop, and drop it did. Regina King as Sister Night!!!!!!! She is awesome and she is married to a black man. They got to make love(!) on onscreen and be sexy and loving in the mainstream (non-black) show, wow! This buff supportive man stays behind to protect the family while Sister Night goes and does her hero thing... Louis Gossett Jr. (LEGENDARY!) as the survivor of Tulsa (I think the baby he helped is gonna be key too, going forward) For the old Sleepies... Tom Mison and Sara Vickers as Mime and Marionette... You could see the little hints that something isn’t quite right mentally with them (presenting the horseshoe) and I look forward to seeing them slip into villainy. I saw a BUNCH of easter eggs in this that I’ll definitely have to rewatch. That battle on the cow pasture was disgusting and amazing. I’ve low-key stanned Tim Blake Nelson’s acting for a good while and I really like him so far in this. I like the conscious alt-world swap with the hill-billy, white good ole (cow)boy and I think Russian in the Red Scare, being the ones *fighting* white supremacy. It’s implied that one of the big alt-history directional shifts that effects events in this show is the “Redfordations” (like Obamacare), I assumed a liberal president actually gave reparations to black people and the cops helped protect/enforce it. And poor white resentment festered to the point where we see this Kalvary situation. It feels like this is being handled intelligently, in unexpected, but well-thought-out ways. And I hope it continues down that path. Oh! And Jeremy Irons is PERFECT casting for an older Ozymandias. I really want to know more about the alt-history fallout of Vietnam and why Angela Abar has white children.

It feels surreal and yet grounded in it’s reality. It’s topical (Trump and the rise of the alt-right in *our* reality) but not lazily so. So far, so good.

56: We continue, perhaps a bit later in the day than I might have liked.

Before we get started, I would just like to ponder something to myself: What is Dirk’s actual motivation? I had assumed that his decision to take over the narrative was just a result of the belief on his part that it was a natural part of his evolution, or that he was actually not doing it with a particular purpose in mind, but after Alt!Calliope accusing him of Megalomania became a thing, I guess I have to open up my mind to other possibilities. It could be that she has simply observed him exploiting the capacity he now has in order to heighten his control over others (as was the natural result, considering his personality), but it might actually be that there’s something more. If I had to guess, it would be that (based on his conversation with Rose, and the statement about reality becoming congealed) he desires to prevent everyone’s lives from losing relevance and fading into an empty heap of incomplete thoughts and useless garbage. That is to say: given the story was over, but in such a way that things were left unanswered, the story was incomplete, and the main characters were gods that would continue growing over time, it is conceivable that once Dirk reached the point where he could actually discern the narrative himself and saw that Hussie had essentially abandoned Homestuck (closing out the story in such a way that locked LE in canon and placed the early parts of Universe C/Earth 3′s timeline[s] outside of it), he had a crisis surrounding his existence as a fictional character, and wanted to take up Hussie’s role as a way to attempt the preservation of all of their lives, and the integrity of reality within their fictional (thus murky/fluid/malleable) world? Considering I know that Dirk is the first character with a “speaking” role in Homestuck^2, and that this is him writing a long letter (note: I am now reminding you all that I accidentally very slightly dipped into it before I realized that it was not the Homestuck Epilogue[s]), I guess... maybe he eventually succeeds? I mean, getting a continuation/spin-off would be one way to fulfill the “escape the destruction of Paradox Space by creating/traveling to a separate version of reality/world beyond its limitations” win condition that was one of the many possibilities that would mean the epilogue was satisfying in a narrative sense and not (entirely?) a Bad End. Given the fact it’s on a different site, which could further emphasize this achievement, if that is the correct interpretation/guess to make about the later events which I have not read yet... congratulations, horrible person/Unreliable Narrator for theoretically saving reality for a time? I don’t know. That all seems uncertain and possibly a bit of a stretch at this point, and I feel like I’m cheating for including that accidental viewing into my analysis for the work I’m presently navigating. I want to be honest with you all about my thoughts and experiences-- or at least as honest as I can be while ensuring that I don’t essentially post things stream-of-consciousness -style. I do have certain standards of plausibility and coherence that I hold myself to, after all. I want to keep this interesting and entertaining for you guys, just as it is for me. ... And finally, we get back to Terezi and John. I will not react to their entire page, this time-- or at least my intention is to not do so --but rather, only a half of it. That way this post won’t get as too terribly bloated. ***irony rimshot ahoy***

Uuuugggh! John, can’t you tell that you’re killing yourself?!?!?! Gah!

Tin of tobacco? What, is Dad a chewer? Certainly an int--- ooohhh, it’s pipe tobacco. I see. I wonder what sort of nutritional value there is in there. (Note: That’s two toxic substances she’s been eating for some reason.)

OH MY FRICKING GOSH!!! XD

Hmm. John presents an interesting question, just after this, with regards to her getting flavors from colors. Indeed, that is very much a form of synaesthesia. That said: Yeah, I know at least chewing tobacco can do that. Not sure about flakes of the smoking variety. I know that it can poison you to death if you eat too much of it.

Oh, hey, it seems that Terezi has probably noticed John’s confused+growing feelings for her. Neat. (And yeah, that’s what you get for talking with a Mind player. :P)

So great. So great.

... I am pretty sure it has been more than a few years. I guess the time in the Furthest Ring can be really fricking weird, though, and since Terezi said he wasn’t as old-seeming as she thought he would be, maybe the four of them somehow just got insanely lucky time-ways, which is... sortof ridiculous, considering Lord English’s time powers. I guess it’s like Clover’s caveat that luck only bends so far as to not counter things that could be considered either lucky or unlucky, or neither in great amounts? (Note: Clover’s defeat by Karkat happened because Clover thought it would be him “getting lucky” and falling into a Hearts, Stars, Horseshoes relationship with him. At the same time, it was unlucky because it was him being defeated. Thus, the power is shown to not only be weak against mediocre things like being hit with something that doesn’t hurt you [the only reason LE could get hit at all, probably, with the exception of his eventual critical sword wounds as the Green Sun Black Hole’s void influence grew], but also against things that could be described as either good or bad.) LE getting opponents that are not massively crazy from being held enclosed for trillions of years without connections to the outside world could be considered lucky insofar as he has been constantly desiring and looking for real challenges for ages upon ages, at least as far as I understand things. Obviously, there’s the collective wills of all who have every been oppressed by him, and the prophesy of the Ultimate Juju being used as a weapon against him after its use by him to be considered, as well, but I think that there can logically be many sources playing into these sorts of outcomes. But yeah, I guess maybe it was seemingly eons for everyone else, but that little pocket of the Furthest Ring inexplicably only suffered a few years’ passage~

Hey, you asked for her to get real with you! Don’t complain when her sincere reactions aren’t what you’d want! XD Also: They’re totally going to run into something important while they’re not paying attention, aren’t they?

Of course she’d put them on there. It was practically like using candy to bait a trap for a baby. NOW CLICK YOUR SHOES TOGETHER THREE TIMES AND GO HOME!!!

Sortof like the fight with LE, but you got lucky and pulled a Pyrrha out of your hat.

This should remind you of the fact that you can use your retcon powers to go save Vriska. WHY DIDN’T YOU THINK OF THIS EARLIER?!?!?!!! (Honestly, with his bleed+poison, it’s almost a miracle he’s thinking this straight, so I really don’t hold it against him, truthfully. ... And yeah, self-blinded “F1X TH1S” Justice Terezi Pyrope was so fricking amazing, it’s almost unbelievable.)

***suddenly feels like I got my heart torn out and bashed against a hard surface by a time travelling robot for not remembering [S] Terezi: Remem8er. merged her memories of the two sides of the Retcanon Timelines***

Gah. This... this hurts so much. ;~;

Huh. I thought for sure Caliborn’s circle drawing had “HUGE BITCH” in the center of it, and I was going to post that in relation to the Fat Vriska/Vriska being sucked into the black hole prophesy/foreshadowing, here, but it said, “FAT UGLY WHORE.” Still somewhat relevant, but not what I was remembering, and thus not quite so connected as I’d like. I guess there’s always her intro panel:

A Long Lost Love

Arthur Morgan x Female reader (1/?)

The start of my red dead 2 ‘fix-it’!

You and Arthur meet back up again after a failed relationship you had nine years ago, and decide to join the van der Linde gang again.

This is an edited version of my Arthur x OC version I’ve been posting on AO3

No warnings for this chapter

Requests are always welcome~

•

“Always yours, Y/N” You finished, lifting your pen from the paper as you took in a deep breath, staring at the words under the candle flame besides you.

You placed your hands on the wooden desk to stand up, folding the letter in half and putting it in your satchel. You exit the farmhouse you had lived in after getting seperated from Dutch’s gang 9 years ago, Arthur forcing you to stay behind when they went on what he assumed to be a suicide mission. You had always thought him and the rest of Dutch’s gang to be dead after that day, but hearing a few girls in the saloon talking about them a few days back, made you realise you had been living a lie these past nine years. You had to bring up the courage to actually write the letter you were now on your way to delivering to the post office, climbing on your horse; Florence to ride there. Your shaking hands handed over the letter to the courier, knowing damn well to not expect a reply but you would sure as hell give it a shot.

“I’ll try to get it there as soon as possible ma’am” “Thanks mister” You told the man with a short nod before walking out the post office.

Living on a farm as if you had a normal life just wasn’t your way of doing things, you had proved that in your time spent with Dutch. Valentine wasn’t exactly what you’d call an exciting town to live in either, the only rare event being an escaped cow at most.

You looked up at the moon that had illuminated the muddy streets below your horse, riding back to the farmhouse you had inherited from your parents.

You woke up early the next morning, tending to the other horses and sheep you kept at the farm. It was enough to make a small living and have decent food on the table, nothing exciting but at least you were still alive.

After finishing brushing your last horse you went back inside, the sun already starting to set again. You made yourself a cup of coffee and grabbed a book from the shelf, sitting down at the dining table to spent your night calmly reading, until a knock on the door interrupted your plans.

You looked at the pistol laying on the counter next to the door, always having to make sure it was there before opening it. You straightened out your long skirt and rolled up the sleeves of your blouse before walking to the door, opening it slightly to see who was dumb enough to knock at your door.

“I-I’m sorry it’s this late, but I ah.. I had to see you as soon as I received this letter” Arthur spoke as he stared at his feet. You quickly opened the door completely as you still had your pistol clutched in your right hand.

“I quite frankly didn’t expect you to actually show” You replied as you had the gun pointed at him, Arthur quickly backing up against the railing on the porch once he noticed the gun in your hand. You fired at the bottle sitting on a fence behind him, huffing at the man in front of you.

“You’d truly think I’d ask ya to come over only to shoot you?” “You’re still as good of a shot as I remember” Arthur spoke with a soft laugh as he lowered his hands again.

You sighed deeply as you looked up into his eyes, he had clearly gotten older, but still looked so much the same as when you were still together.

“Y/N, I- I don’t know where to start”

Arthur took off his hat and placed it on the railing, lowering his arms besides him as a sad expression formed on his face.

“That’s the only thing you have to say after abandoning me for nine years?” “I never abandoned you-!”

“Yeah yeah, I’ve already heard it, you were trying to protect me and all that bullcrap. Why didn’t you ever bother to search for me Arthur? I told you about this farm and I.. God, I never stopped waiting for you”

“I didn’t want you to get yourself killed over us fools, and back then you would do it in a heartbeat. I’d rather not have you but know you’re safe than having to bury you for being too brave again”

You felt your eyes burning as your fingernails dug deeper into the skin of your palm, shaking your head which made the tears roll down your cheeks.

“I didn’t ask you to come over here only for you to be making excuses Arthur” “I know Y/N, I goddamn know and had to live with it the past years” “So did I” You replied, making Arthur furrow his brows as he averted his gaze to the wooden planks of your porch.

“I just don’t know how to make it right goddammit. You know that if I could I would’ve ran away with you back then, god I still think about it time to time” “I never expected you to betray Dutch like that Arthur, I still don’t. But can’t you realize you made me do exactly that? I was as much of a member of the camp as you were. And I was young and dumb enough to blindly follow everything you told me to do like a fuckin’ lap dog”

“I’m coming with you, let me pack my bags” “Y/N-“ “Don’t even think about trying to stop me, it’s a wasted effort. Come in, it’s cold out” You stoically told him, a deep breath escaping Arthur as he followed you inside.

“I’ve been living in hell the past nine years, I’d rather die being with all of you tomorrow than live another 30 years on this goddamned farm Arthur” You spoke as you packed your guns and a few spare clothes, entering your bedroom to change into a pair of pants.

“There isn’t anything that I can do to stop you is there?” Arthur sighed as you entered the main room of the farmhouse again, a packed bag slung around your shoulder. You shook your head and walked past him to grab the keys from the wall, motioning your head for Arthur to walk out the front door, following behind him and locking it behind you.

“Can we head through town first? I want to give the keys to a good friend of mine” “‘Course, lead the way”

Arthur retrieved his hat and followed you to your horse, taking the bag from your hands so you could mount on easily. He secured it on the back of your saddle before walking over to his own, “Come on boy” He muttered, patting the horse before following you into town.

He looked at you entering the saloon, moving his horse forwards a bit to see you hugging what he assumed to be your friend, handing over the keys afterwards.

Arthur sighed as he ran his fingers over the scarred knuckles of his other hand, his mind racing wildly about seeing the love of his life again, the same woman he tried to forget about all these years, and there you were back in his life again in the matter of a day.

“Done, she deserves it more than any other person I know of” You spoke as you mounted your horse again, Arthur laughing at himself before riding up next to your.

“What?” “Nothing, just- just you” Arthur chuckled as he shook his head, signing for you to follow him. “Is the camp far away from here?” “What did Hosea call it again.. Horseshoe something”

“Horseshoe overlook? You guys are that close to town? Bold move of Dutch” “You said it”

You ran your fingers through Florence’s mane, making Arthur smile at you, you always cared for the horses when you all were done riding for the day. “Never lost your love for horses hm?” “Never will either, they’re such beautiful creatures”

Arthur told you you’d take the next left, riding up a muddy path in the forest before the tents came into your view. You slowed Florence down before coming to a complete halt, seeing that Dutch and Hosea had been expecting you. “I told you you wouldn’t be able to stop her!” Dutch’s amused voice sounded, Arthur grabbing your bag off your horse, wanting to help you off next but you were already running over to Dutch to hug him tightly.

“I’m so sorry I left” “Arthur didn’t give you a choice, it’s so good to see you” Dutch told you. Hosea pressed his hand on Arthur’s shoulder, the look on Hosea’s face already saying more than any words could.

“I’m glad to finally be back, and to see you as well Hosea” You continued with a broad smile plastered on your face, Hosea taking you into a tight hug. “You’ve grown quite a bit since we’ve last seen you” “Ain’t even been here for a minute and I’m already being insulted-“

“Y/N?!” Another familiar voice sounded, turning you head to see John walking over to you, taking you into a tight hug as well. “Hey there greasy cowboy”

“God it finally feels as if we’re complete again” Dutch spoke, his hand firm on your shoulder. “I’ll take your bag to my lodging, I can set up a bed for you there if that’s okay” Arthur softly spoke, you nodding your head in response. “Thanks”

“Everyone! We’re having a party tonight! There’s someone you all have to meet” Dutch yelled, a few heads popping out of tents since it was already dark out.

Dutch introduced you to the other gang members, as they sat by the campfire. Your gaze had wandered off to Arthur sitting alone on his bed, scribbling away in a notebook he apparently was still holding onto after all these years.

“She was the craziest out of all of us back then! Popped the poor man’s head off as if it was a melon” John spoke with a loud laugh, You shaking your head in embarrassment. “You’re giving me quite a reputation to uphold Marston” “I have no doubt you will”

“I think we should call it a night folks” “Thanks for being so welcoming, I promise I’ll make it worth something” You told the group, wishing everyone a goodnight.

“You’re not one to miss a good night of drinks”

Arthur huffed as he looked up at you, closing his notebook and laying it on a cupboard next to his bed. “I needed to clear my head, you have no idea what you do to me woman” He sighed as he let his the back of his head rest against the wagon of his lodging, as you sat down on the bed he had set up for you.

You took the hand he had resting on his knee into your own, staring at his scarred fingers, which made Arthur flinch slightly. He wanted nothing more than to hold you against him and tell you he’d never leave you again, but he would never even think about actually doing so.

“We should sleep, I’ll show you and the boys around Valentine tomorrow, heard there’s some good bounties at the sheriff's” You spoke as you took your hand off his, laying down on the unsturdy bed, your eyes focused on the night sky. It made you feel weirdly comfortable, sleeping out in the wilderness again like this.

This about that twitter empathy post that u wrote a paragraph in the tags on. I find it interesting u have that response with ur hyperempathy as i do as well but Ive considered myself having hypoempathy. Like my thought process is: “they are having x emotions but i wouldnt have x emotion in that situation i am confused? Oh, i must be right and they are wrong because there’s no way anyone can feel differently than me.” Do u think people on both “ends” of the empathy pole have similar reactions?

yes! horseshoe theory is bunk af but it has its moments esp in this situation!

it’s curious that you’d mention having that thought process because a lot of the hypoempathic people I know automatically correct for it - but also they’re older, in their late 20s/early 30s - so it’s maybe definitely a learned skill.

I think the entire empathy model has huge flaws because we take this very neutral trait - the ability to mirror other people’s emotions - and then ascribe moral meaning to it that it totally lacks? like there’s nothing about being hyperempathic that confers additional knowledge of people on me - quite the opposite, because I’m also autistic and depressed to the point of constant emotional numbness, making me hypoempathic as well. any decisions I make using the empathy route tend to be pretty bad, whereas if I use my empathy to connect to a situation and then work out solutions using compassion + knowledge that tends to work out better and be more clean and viable and trustworthy, you know?

also, there’s a critical threshold of empathy beyond which it becomes impossible. at it’s most basic level empathy is your ability to mirror other people’s emotions without consciously choosing to. (I see a person suffering and I wondering what would happen to me if I were in that situation, and then I have the choice of helping them or moving on because like...empathy is a mental/emotional response - it has fuckall to do with your actions. I could feel for someone and still walk away with little to no guilt - I have done this. whereas compassion is where my actual urge to help people comes in, because I want to ease their suffering.) but you can’t mirror everyone’s emotions, and in fact you’re more likely to mirror the emotions of people who are already similar to you. so of course your empathy has its limits, these dead ends beyond which you’re functionally hypoempathic but without the ability to correct for your lack of empathy.

am i making sense

one thing that helps me when I’m confronted with a thought process I can’t fathom is to consciously go ‘people are unique! this person has a mental process and experiences that led them to form a different view of the world from me. this is fine. there are many ways of looking at the world and mine is just one. this is another!’ and then i ask myself questions like can i learn from this / what other conclusions can i induce by briefly adopting this worldview according to what i know of it which is like...a process aided by my empathy but I don’t think limited to it. I’m not sure how something similar would work for hypoempaths, but I think in general it helps to reaffirm that neither of your worldviews are Factually Wrong (unless they are, which is a different game), just informed by different versions of events and then work from there.

also on the subject of the limitations of empathy - one thing I note over and over is that empathic people can fail miserably at jobs like journalism or medicine or social work (unless they figure out a way to turn their empathy tf down) because they become clogged up in the emotions and the way they see the world. whereas hypoempaths, when they apply themselves to that kind of thing, do really well. which is not something i have any data on so like don’t take my word for it lmao dkjghdfg.

anyway I’m very curious about your thoughts on these things as a hypoempath !! also in case u couldn’t tell i had big fun answering this ask haha

A Word on Struggles with the Good Folk: Protection

Most people interested in topics of ‘fantasy’ are familiar with the more standard protections against the Good Neighbors that have been popularized by fiction. Such protections, to name a few, are pockets full of oatmeal, the salting of thresholds and doorways (as well as making circles of salt), bells in some stories (usually the variations of certain folktales told after Christainization), inside-out clothing, and the well-known: cold iron (also iron horseshoes).

If these wards aren’t enough, which they usually are, you could always try appeasing them through offering (the types of which can vary from culture to culture). If that doesn’t work,as in the story of rumplestillskin, you could attempt learn the accountable Folk’s true name... which.. as it turns out.. is usually nearly impossible.

Thats not to say that there aren’t ways you could accomplish this. Perhaps you could challenge your... ‘new friend’.. to a game with the premise of winning their name; but that’s not really suggested as losing would put you in a situation many times worse than what you’re already probably dealing with.

So what now?

You aren’t willing to risk a game, or maybe there are too many folk to challenge. You’ve left out all manners of offerings: tobacco, cream, bread, money, and biscuits. You’ve put up the horseshoes, your bed is surrounded by salt, and there is enough oatmeal under your mattress to feed five people.

If you’re a witch then perhaps you’ve tried a few protections of your own invention. Perhaps you’ve made a few witch bottles. Perhaps you’ve sicced your familiars on the intruding parties.

For most people -for most cases- this at least should be enough.

But not for you.

Not this time.

In spite of all your efforts, every night your Goodly Neighbors come knocking at the windows, pulling your hair, hiding your keys and knocking down your curtains. You’ve done everything you can think of with no relief.

This is what happened to me.

I had the iron horseshoes, I had the salt, and I had inumerable other protections I will not mention for the sake of keeping their potency. Despite all this, they’d file into my room in large groups every night to taunt me, give me nightmares, and knock at my windows. They’d climb on my bed and under it. They’d tempt me to dance, and play me their music.

Nothing worked and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why. Was I a bad witch? Was there a certain step that I was forgetting? Was I just going crazy? Think of me however you like, but I was genuinely afraid.

Though the intrusions started off small, with time they grew, and the transgressions became more and more violent. It became harder for me to go outside at night, and I didn’t feel safe in my own home- in my own bed. I felt like I was in danger... at least.. that’s what all the conspiring events led me to believe. Bluntly, I became paranoid.

Of course, I was in danger. I was sleep deprived, I was frustrated, and I was frightened. Both my mental health and physicality were in decline. However, the true being at fault for my decline wasn’t actually them.. not directly.

It was myself.

I was the cause of my own defeat.

And the intrusions?

They were all just part of a grand ole’ game.

You see, If you have good protections up, and if you hold any sort of claim to the land you’re on, then the only power the Good Folk can hold over you is the power you give to them. That is- If you haven’t broken their laws, and you aren’t in debt, and you haven’t given up your true name to them, then the only real power they have is to convince you that you haven’t any.

Once they convince you that they have power over you in your own domain (despite the standard protections), then you relinquish some of that control. This works, not as an exchange of ownership, but because when something is rightfully (keep in mind their ‘laws’ are different from our own) in your possession it is your will that determines what happens with, to, and regarding that something. If they convince you that you’re in danger, then you will be because your will makes it so. If they convince you that you are out of control, then you will be because your will makes that so. When you acknowledge their illusion of power as real, it becomes so.

When host to their tomfoolery, the choice will always remain yours- reguardless of whether you’re aware that you’ve chosen.

If the choice truely isn’t yours, then you aren’t the host and what you claim ownership of isn’t yours to do so.

Though it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between places of their rule and your own, a good general rule of thumb is that when the Good Folk hold the power they won’t try so hard to convince you that you do not. They will simply do as they please. They may even try to imply (without directly stating) that the opposite is true. This can be an even more dangerous situation.

In my case, it’s not that the protections didn’t work. It’s that I wholeheartedly believed that they didn’t.

You have to recognize that YOU are in control of what is rightfully yours. And what is yours consists not only of literal ownership, but also what they directly acknowledge that you have. They must keep to their word to a T.

On that note, here is a little reminder: The Good Folk will never flat out lie. While I was dealing with this, they never once told me that I wasn’t in control. They allowed me to reach that conclusion on my own. Little by little I was allowing them to do more and more.

That is because I hold the power here, and it’s by my power that they can get through. When I realized that it was my power that allowed my Neighbor Folk to trouble me or not, they lost their hold over me. Though they will still try to convince me I am weak; try to knock me off balance- they can do nothing more than just that: try. Not with the things that are rightfully mine. Not with the places that I hold claim. And not with yours either.

By their laws.

Below is a rough sketch of one of the various Folk I’ve seen around. He doesn’t have multiple heads, it was a lot like having double vision. Seeing multiple versions of a single thing all at once.

Stop 2: Part 2: Saturday in Ocean City, MD

Saturday after Brent’s funeral had perfect weather. We loaded up the Jeeps and headed down to Assateague Island to drive on the beach. Brent loved staying on the West side of Ocean City. He’d always say, "There’s less riffraff out here.” It was true. The bars, restaurants and beaches had more of a local’s vibe and you wouldn’t get the shoobies and riffraff from the boardwalk. But he absolutely loved bringing the cars onto the OSV (Over Sand Vehicle) portion of the island to set up “camp” for the day. Assateague Island had also become my favorite beach over the years as well. This National Seashore is known for two things: 1. The beach that stretches from Maryland down into Virginia, and 2. The wild horses. That’s right. Wild horses graze, run, and walk all over your towels on the shore line. It’s really pretty and pretty annoying when you’re starving and all you want to do is eat your Wawa breakfast sandwich but can’t take it out until the horses move on. That happened to Brent and me last summer.

You see the horses all of the time. As you’re cruising on the winding drive through the wetlands to the beach they’ll be hanging out in the brush and on the shoulder. You may be unloading chairs from your vehicle in the parking lot and turn around to see one watching you. I’ve witnessed people not being able to get out of the bathroom because there are a couple of them hanging out by the door. It’s entertaining. Below is a still photo captured from a video of Brent’s. You might recall him telling you about this sight - He caught one of the horses cooling off in the bay one day when he was down with his buddy, Josh from Colorado. He was so proud of not only capturing but witnessing this moment.

As I was packing stickers for the weekend down at the beach, in my head I was going through the spots that were necessary to tag. The two obvious ones were Teasers at Sunset Grille and Assateague. I did question at first how the hell I was going to tag a sticker for Brent at his favorite beach. But by Saturday morning, I already knew where I wanted to place it before we even left the house for the day. Just like I did, you’d probably think it would be difficult to get a sticker up at a National Seashore that wouldn’t be considered vandalism, harming the environment, etc. Remember, this isn’t a beach with surfaces, a boardwalk or trash bins. It’s a straight up beach. I recalled there being a pipe by the air machine as you leave the island. It had always been covered in stickers. We caravanned on over and I drove the Cream Puff (Jared’s Jeep) up to the entrance as Ryan and his family followed. While Jared worked on letting air out of the tires, I threw on Brent’s Thrasher snapback and walked over to the other side to scout out a spot on the pipe with Amy.

Obviously, “Dean-A-Palooza Big Dawgs Last Meal” had already occupied the best spot on the pipe. I couldn’t argue with that sticker so I found a spot about half way down. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that some shmoe doesn’t come by and cover it up like they did to the “Fat Daddy” sticker. I will definitely be back to all of these locations to check up on them regardless. Ain’t nobody gonna treat #LiveLiveBrent like a Fat Daddy.

We spent a couple of hours at the beach. As soon as we got there, a dragon fly would not leave us alone. It settled and landed on Amy’s leg. She looked at me and asked, “You know what dragonflies mean, right?” I told her no and that I noticed this one wanted to hang out with us for some reason. She said, “They’re a sign of loved ones that passed.” I had no idea. I mentioned in my last post that I’ve heard different stories and signs of how a loved one is near but yeah...dragonflies are a thing. It hung around a little while longer and I noticed it fly into the passenger window of Jared’s Jeep. It landed on his hat and sunglasses and remained there until we left the beach hours later.

I spent some time alone out in the ocean that day. Tears were shed as I reflected and remembered spending hours out there with Brent in summers past. Floating. Chatting. Swimming in silence and taking it all in. But, on this day, the entire time I was out there, I felt completely and utterly calm. I’ve honestly felt this way for the last two weeks. I’m not sure why but I feel as if Brent has been giving me this sense of calmness and strength that I can’t quite explain. But then again, he always said I was one of the most even-keeled human beings he had ever met. He liked that about me but also would tell me it kept him guessing at times.

Jared was a couple of yards away in the ocean. I was so glad he came to the beach with us that day. Typically when we would go down to the beach houses, Brent and I would meet up with Kevin and Janelle who would also be down for several days at a time. We’d go out, get into a mess of shenanigans, always attend the annual Brewgrass Festival together and whatnot. But I had never had as much one-on-one time with Jared as I did this one weekend at the beach. I am so glad I did. He has such a positive and upbeat vibe to him. He made me laugh a lot that weekend. Brent adores his cousin. You know what? I do too.

Just for fun - this picture above is from last summer down at the beach on Assateague. At this point last year he had already started his treatment but we always made sure to make the best of those off days. We lotioned the hell out of one another that day. Brent also wore all of his UPF sun protecting clothing that summer. He flippin’ LOVED gear. He had gear for the beach, snow, mountains...everything. I think it’s safe to say we all know that about him and that he always had some of the nicest clothing when it came to being outside...okay, inside too. This was also the day the horses were trotting up and down the beach and the water was so blue! I don’t think I need to explain why this has become a favorite beach of mine anymore.

Speaking of favorites...this brings us to our final destination in OCMD: Teasers at Sunset Grille. Later Saturday night, Amy, Kevin, Jared and I headed over to “the horseshoe” which is a section of West Ocean City where several bars are located around the marina. Ps. If you want time away from the craziness of OCMD, definitely spend time over here. We stopped by Harborside for dinner and drinks. Harborside claims to be the home of the original fresh squeezed orange crush. Don’t know what an orange crush is? Pause right now, Google it, think, “That actually does sound really refreshing” and come back to continue reading. It’s a cocktail that is consumed regularly down in Ocean City. Anyway, this spot is almost always jamming and a good time with good tunes. We sweat straight through our clothes, slugged back some crushes and ordered some food. It was extremely humid that evening. It was so hot that Kevin had a Bud Light in hand. If you don’t know Kevin...he is THE beer connoisseur. He can probably talk about beer longer than a Phish set that includes "Tweezer” and not the reprise version half of you saw on the Baker’s Dozen Tour. If a brewery has a can release, the average person will buy one or a couple but Kevin and Janelle walk out with seven...cases. Sorry I need to pause and just that Brent has some awesome cousins. So yes, it was Bud Light hot that night.

Every bar and restaurant on the marina has a wonderful view. As we sat there, we stepped out on the deck in hopes for a sunset and some fresh air. But we actually had quite the view of a gloomy storm starting to approach us.

Before we got too comfortable watching the clouds roll in, we walked over to Teasers. Also, had Brent been sitting there with us he would’ve rattled off the type of clouds rolling in. I’m not sure if he did that with everyone. But there would be times we would be driving and I’d say something about the shapes of the clouds and I’d get a response, “WelI, those cool clouds are actually Cumulonimbus clouds, Aisling.” Those are definitely some of the things I will miss.

I honestly cannot recall a time where we went down to the beach and did not end up at Teasers at some point. I don’t think I can emphasize it enough - Brent loved everything about this place. The ambiance is just always on point. It’s an open air bar with a floating outdoor band stage out on the marina. I’ve actually ended up booking bands for some of my events from seeing them live at Teasers first. This place was also always great for a sunset. If Brent could, he would have had our wedding there. Ha, but I think it’s safe to say that any structured venue wouldn’t have been big enough for us. I mean, come on...you stood in that line that night. He was and still is a very loved individual.

As we sat down at the bar, I was again unsure where we would be able to throw a sticker up. I figured at the very least I could put it under the bar so it wouldn’t be taken down. But it turns out that there are stickers slapped up in a couple locations inside. I asked the bar tender for 3 minutes of his time, explained why we were there and asked permission to put a sticker up. The bartender saw the manager (actually I believe it was the owner) and told him what I was doing. I got up and stuck one right on the side of the cash register. It’s in plain sight where anyone on the left side of the bar could see it. This specific location was certainly the most important one on the trip and I know right now Brent is proud that I was able to get one up there for him. Actually, I take that back. He’s probably critiquing and saying I should’ve covered that one side of the cash register. Sorry, Uncle B.

As I was placing the sticker up, Jared got hold of the manager/owner. He told him where we were from, why we were there and why Teasers is such an important establishment to us. As I walked back to my seat on the other side of the bar Jared stopped me. The owner asked us to bring in a photo of Brent to be placed on the ceiling. I know that sounds awkward if you’ve never been to Teasers but inside of this dockside bar is a vaulted ceiling with different items on it. It’s like Billy Murphy’s Irish Saloon but...beachy fishing decor...in a sense. So the next time I’m down you bet a framed photo of Brent Patrick Evans will be hung in his favorite spot.

I’ve mentioned it before and I will mention it again, I am overwhelmed by the incredible support that I am oh so lucky to have. Thanks to Amy for being my personal photographer and beach bud for the weekend. As always, thank you to Brent’s family for such a special weekend down at their beach home.

Real Person FanFic: “Career Day”

**Summary: Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, and Charlie Sheen try to do penance by “inspiring” children at a career day**

**Adult Language**

Kanye West just didn’t know when to stop. This madness had been dragging on for ten minutes, and there was no sign of it stopping.

“You see, folks, what y’all really need to do is stop limiting yourselves. I can see it in your faces--you think I’m crazy. But, what you don’t understand is the seriousness, the gravity of your lives right now. There are things going on in space, even in the air, that we don’t quite understand. Chemical reactions are happening all around us, and we, ourselves, are chemical reactions. Don’t you see? Do you see what I’m sayin’?”

An eerie, hushed silence congealed the air in the room, all while a second grade class stared wide-eyed at Kanye. They looked at him half with shock, half with awe.

“No, they don’t understand what you’re sayin’, Kanye, man. No one does. Yer just freaking ‘em out,” Miley Cyrus scoffed from her tiny plastic chair at the horseshoe-shaped table that sat at the front of the classroom.

It was Career Day at Thurston Elementary, and the school board had recently offered to use its annual event as a chance to showcase “responsibility for one’s actions” to its students. The charter school was positioned right on the outskirts of Los Angeles, close enough to reach the city in under five minutes, but far enough away to have the luxury of avoiding the plethora of celebrity DUIs, strip clubs, and Crossfit gyms that added to the decadence of American culture.

As a preventative measure, the school offered spots in the career day to local celebrities who were in need of community service hours, asking if they would come talk to the students about how, despite mistakes, humans can still do a great deal of good in the world. The day that the ad for this was released online, the calls came pouring in. But, only the first four callers were accepted.

Kanye West had just been arrested for hijacking a daytime television interview, claiming that he was the second coming of Christ, and throwing a stage prop version of a surfboard (the Beach Boys had been interviewed before him) into the audience after someone in the crowd had yawned during his speech on how to prepare the best pancakes, and how that correlated with the fact that Christopher Walken had killed Jimmy Hoffa.

Miley Cyrus had just been arrested for aggravated DUI, position of the club drug Molly, and indecent exposure during the same vehicular escapade down Hollywood Boulevard. Charlie Sheen had just been arrested for turning his five-story mansion into a crackhouse/illegal S&M bar, and unknowingly letting in an undercover policeman.

For these three unbalanced individuals, Thurston Elementary’s ad made it seem like the stars were truly aligning for what they needed to right their wrongs. After being introduced first out of the trio, Kanye had immediately taken to one of his non-cohesive and manic rants that have become a staple.

“Man, whatever. These kids are lukewarm. They’re missing the damn point,” Kanye sputtered.

“There IS NO point, man. You think you’ve got this whole room lit, but you’re not doin’ shit,” Miley said with exasperation.

“Oh, you think you run this shit? Think about the position I’m in. First, I find out I’m paired up with Billy Ray “achy-breaky-eardrums” Cyrus’ fool of a daughter. Then, I find out I’m paired up with Mr. Screw-Loose over there.”

As Kanye finished his last venomous sentence, he gestured toward Charlie Sheen, who was standing in the corner by the craft supplies. Charlie’s eyes lit up for a brief moment, as he rifled through the box of various tools and materials. Then, upon holding up a bottle of glue, he eyed the “non-toxic” label, and rolled his eyes in disgust.

Charlie rattled off his response with rapid-fire, coke-induced speed. “You think I have a fuckin’ screw loose, man?! Take a look in the mirror. You go on rants about how much you love yourself and shit. Gimme a fuckin’ break, would you? Smoke some herb, man. Just chill out.”

“Maybe you’re the one who should chill out, Charlie. You could even wipe your nose while you’re at it,” Miley said with a cutting tone.

Charlie swiped at his nostrils nervously, trying to play off the act as nonchalant.

“HA!” Miley cried with glee. “Made you look, Joe Blow!”

“Shit! That one was pretty good!” cried Kanye, as he high-fived Miley.

Charlie rolled his eyes, and his shoulders shrunk with a small sense of indignance as he wandered back over to where the other two celebrities were sitting and standing.

“Um, excuse me, um...guests?” Miss Tanner, the second-grade teacher, half-inquired.

The dysfunctional trio had completely forgotten about the class of doorknob-height children seated in front of them, and the teacher who acted as their ringleader.

“Yeah, sorry, Teach. We kinda got off-track there for a sec. Can I go now?” asked Miley.

“Of course, Miss Cyrus. Please, after you,” said Miss Tanner, as she motioned with her hand back to the spot where Kanye had been pontificating to the class.

“Yo, I never said I was done,” said Kanye.

“We all decided for you,” said Miley snarkily.

“I have to side with the Malfoy-lookin’ chick on this one, Kanye,” Charlie said. “I haven’t seen a trainwreck this bad since my dad got into method acting for Apocalypse Now.”

“Fine! All of you want Miley? You can have her, yo. Just don’t let her near those Tonka truck toys over there; she’ll see the wrecking ball, and try to flash her titties or something,” said Kanye with frustration.

He put both of his palms up to the crowd of children, as if to absolve himself from whatever sins were about to take place once Miley took over.

As Miley stepped forward, Miss Tanner added, “And, um, Miss Cyrus, if you could...um...refrain from profanity, that would be ideal. I’m not casting any aspersions; just trying to keep it PG. Things have been going a wee bit off that track.”

“Oh, yeah, sure. PG is easy. I was Hannah Montana, actually. Did ya know that? That was my big break,” said Miley.

“I thought your “big break” was when Liam Hemsworth shattered your cervix,” said Charlie under his breath.

“Fuck you, Sheen. Don’t make us replace you with Ashton Kutcher,” Miley hissed.

“You fuckin’ bitch!” Charlie shouted with rage.

“LANGUAGE!” shrieked Miss Tanner.

“Sorry,” Miley and Charlie mumbled at the same time with infantile shame.

Miley looked over the class and smiled.

“Wow, all of you little pumpkins sure are really small,” she gushed. “You all remind me of myself when I was in the second grade. You’re all carefree and excited to grow up. I can--”

She was cut off by a little boy in the front row’s hand, which shot up like it was mechanized. He had soft brown curls that sat on his head like a mop, and was sporting a red shirt that read “Mr. Steal-Your-Girl,” which, in itself, was a sign that decadence and douchebaggery had already permeated into the school.

“Why are you even here?” the boy asked with a blank expression.

“Well,” Miley looked at the other adults for clues as to what she should say. “I...um...made some bad decisions, and I’m here to talk to you all about how--”

“My dad says you’re a washed-up floozy,” the little boy blurted out with a blank expression.

Laughter erupted from Charlie and Kanye, as they slapped their knees and nearly fell out of their seats. Miss Tanner buried her face in her hands. Miley just froze where she stood, with her mouth wide open.

The boy continued, “Yeah, he says your dad had a lousy career, and tried to exploit you for a TV show, so he could renew his relevance. But, then you started twerking and sticking your tongue out on stage and lighting up doobies at award shows. Then, it all went downhill, and blew up in the Country loser’s face.”

The boy was finished. He sat waiting for a reply to his regurgitation of what was, most likely, a parental tirade that he had overheard. Miss Tanner had given up and run out out of the room the moment that the boy had uttered the word “twerking.”

At this point, Miley was glaring at the little boy with a fiery gaze.

She tore into him, “You little fuckin’ twerp! Listen, kid, I don’t care how little you are, you can’t talk to me like that. What do you know about my life?! You’re like, what, three months old?!

“I’m seven,” the boy retorted.

“I could give a fuck!” screeched Miley.

“Jesus, he’s seven. Give the kid a break,” said Charlie.

“And what would you know about seven-year-olds, Sheen?!” Miley snapped. “Weren’t yours taken away?”

“She’s got a point, man,” said Kanye.

“Fuck off! You named your kid ‘North,’” barked Charlie. “Knock up another Kardashian, and pick another direction!”

“You know what? That shit’s too far,” Kanye began. “But, I’m not going to let you take control here, Charlie. See, that’s the difference between you and me--I know when to fold. You need some self-control. You just walk around with shit up your nose all the time, jonesing for a fight. There’s so much more to life. Like me, I’ve got my shoe line, my music, my disciples--I mean, fans. I’m trying to change the world’s brain chemistry. I’m like Mark Zuckerberg, but for bad-asses. You feel me? Get what I’m saying?”

“NO! No one gets what you’re saying! No one ever does! Even Ellen thought you were fucking mental!” shouted Charlie. “Fuck this shit, man. I gotta do a line. I can’t deal with this.”

Charlie began to pace in small circles and rub his temples. Kanye stood silent in shock, contemplating how Charlie could have said such heinous thing to him. After all, everyone loved him, he told himself. Miley was still livid with the little boy.

“Okay, kid--who’s seven--what’s your name?” asked Miley with wild eyes.

“My name’s Harvey Fletcher,” replied the boy.

“Alright, Harvey,” Miley began. “When you go home tonight, you know what I want you to do?”

“Should he watch the VMAs from a couple years back and see how his dad’s right?” Kanye asked with quiet venom.

Instead of looking back at Kanye, Miley simply stuck up her middle finger behind her back, and in his direction.

“I want you to tell your dad that he’s just a jealous, boring twat who works some lame desk jockey job to feed his snot-nosed kids, which I’m surprised he could even find his pecker to help make,” said Miley.

“Alright, that’s enough,” said Charlie. “The kid’s a prick, but back off.”

“You’re the prick!” screamed Harvey.

“Oh, shut the fuuuuck up. I’m on your side. Christ! Does anyone have any nose candy? Any at all? For real,” Charlie snapped.

“Why don’t all of you shut the fuck up?” asked Kanye.

Charlie and Miley stared at Kanye in bewilderment. He spoke often, but it was never normal dialogue. Kanye had his own way of speaking, which leant itself to propagating his self-centered and nonsensical dogma.

“We came here to talk to little kids about turning your life around after you’ve wrecked it,” Kanye bagan. “But, all we’re doin’ here is showing how we haven’t actually gotten ourselves together. We’re giving people like Harvey’s dad repeated reasons to make fun of us, so that his kid can repeat it back to people with that creepy-ass photographic memory he’s got.”

“I don’t have a photographic memory,” Harvey said frankly. “A photographic memory is when--”

“Okay, kid. Give it a rest. You’re out of the crossfire now. Just stay there,” Kanye warned.

“Yeah, I see what you mean,” Charlie said. “I always wonder to myself, ‘How does Emilio stay so clean in the public eye?’ But, then I look at what I’m doing, and it all kind of makes sense. He stays off of TMZ and all that other bullshit. He’s got himself together, unlike me.”

Charlie gave a hard sniff to clear his nasal passages and shrugged.

“Plus, he can always give John Hughes a ring. Jesus! Look at how many times that dude used the same actors! He just doesn’t know how to turn people away,” Miley said, completely missing the point.

Charlie closed his eyes and started rubbing his temples again. “That’s not what I mean,” he said warily.

“Sorry,” Miley offered. “I see that you guys are kinda on a roll here. Seems like you’ve both latched onto something.”

“We’ve been acting like lunatics. We’re on edge right now. But, it’s cool,” Kanye said hopefully. “We’ve got a second chance by coming here. We get to mold these little minds, and capitalize on our own faults to help ensure a better future for the youth of America. We’re just starting on a micro level.”

“That’s the smartest and most non-psychotic thing you’ve ever said,” said Miley, in shock.

“Yeah, I have my moments,” said Kanye.

Charlie looked hopeful, with a flash of glee in his eye. “Maybe, we can turn this thing around,” he said.

And, just at that very moment, Miss Tanner and five security guards came bursting through the door to the classroom at a high velocity.

“Woah, hey, guys--what’s going on here?” Charlie asked, his eye showing an intense level of fear.

“The three of you are out of here,” said the largest security guard.

“Seriously?!” Miley asked with shock. “Tanner, you called the elementary fuzz on us?”

“YOU’VE RUINED CAREER DAY! YOU’VE MADE A MOCKERY OF MY CLASSROOM, AND ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR!” Miss Tanner lamented with high level volume.

“Shit, and everyone thinks I’m the dramatic one,” mumbled Kanye.

And with that, the security guards attempted to take the three tabloid-infamous celebrities, and remove them from the classroom. However, this proved to be more difficult than anticipated.

For an overly-drugged middle-aged man, Charlie was actually quite quick with his reflexes. He attempted some sort of martial arts moves, as he evaded the initial grasps of the security guards. Maybe he did have tiger’s blood coursing through his veins, after all.

Kanye had taken up a position like Moses trying to part the Red Sea. He stood in a rigid and powerful position, his arm outstretched, with his palm facing his adversaries. Still, his God-like pose could not save him; he was tackled and removed from the classroom.

By the time the guards finally caught Charlie, he was on top of a bookcase, shouting about how “no one could ever force a wizard to do what he didn’t want to do.”

This entire time, Miley had been trying to distract the guards with her twerking, which she has been so famous for since she had been filmed grinding against Robin Thicke onstage during the VMAs of recent years. However, no one was impressed, aroused, or even slightly interested. The largest guard had simply picked her up with his meaty, gorilla-esque hands, and draped her over his shoulder like a child. “You’re gonna get the timeout that your dad never had the balls to give you,” the gorilla guard joked, as he walked out of the classroom with her. She was the last guest to be removed, as she pounded on the guards back like a feral beast.

“Cut it out!” the guard bellowed at her.

“I can’t stop, and I won’t stop!” Miley screamed back in reply.

And, with that, Thurston Elementary learned three different things:

1. These three celebrities were, indeed, dysfunctional as all hell, and there was no saving them now.

2. The children in the audience were all going to require extensive therapy to reduce the negative impact of this career day.

3. Kanye really does believe that he is a god.

Australian solar power at record high AAP 3 days ago Scott Barbour/Getty Images Solar panels are seen on the rooftop at AGL's new Docklands office. Australia is now generating enough solar power to fuel nearly all the households in Melbourne, new figures reveal. The Australian Photovoltaic Institute, with data from the Clean Energy Regulator, says the country has hit a new solar record, with Queensland leading the charge for energy generation. The figures show there are now 6GW of solar power installed across the country, enough to meet the electricity needs of 1.3 million households. "Solar power now makes up 11 per cent of our country's total electricity generation capacity with more solar added to the system in 2016 than any other fuel type," institute chair Renate Egan says in a statement. "To put 6GW into perspective, that is twice the capacity of Australia's largest coal-fired power station, Loy Yang in Victoria." The institute says solar power has become so popular in some towns and suburbs that households without it are in the minority, such as Baldvis in Western Australia and Elimbah in Queensland. Solar analyst Warwick Johnston, the managing director of SunWiz, says solar installation numbers rose quickly at the end of 2016 and the first quarter this year.
