Malevolent ep 21, “The Unconquerable” Music Timestamps
John: You Call It Madness (I Call It Love) (Russ Columbo, 1932)
Arthur: Faroes Song, Faroes Lullaby (Original pieces by Harlan Guthrie)
Reminiscent: Category for all piano pieces that are not Faroes Song or Faroes Lullaby
Ep 21, “The Unconquerable”
Addison
-2:12 “Reminiscent”
The meeting is reminiscent to the first episode. Arthur tries to play along, but he gives in and tells the Entity he knows what he is. The Entity is skeptical, but Arthur tries to explain anyway
-3:34 “Faroes Song”
It’s light, slow and airy.
Arthur explains everything to the Entity. He tries telling him that he wanted to be so much more than the Kinf, to be human. He calls him John, and the Entity is confused. He laughs, and says the game is up.
-5:39 “Reminiscent”
Arthur finds his leg is fine. He realizes Katne did it on purpose to ensure he lives. He curses at the Entity for calling him friend. He is pissed.
-6:21 “Faroes Lullaby”
Arthur talks about Lilly. How John could forget who brought him humanity, had changed him. The Entity tries to threaten Arthur. It does not work.
-7:24 “Reminiscent”
Arthur is unfazed by the Entities threats. He threatens to send the Entity back to the Dark World, saying that the Glass of Cana can send him back. This is a lie. The Entity finally complies with Arthur and tells him what he sees.
-8:04 “Reminiscent”
The Entity describes their surroundings, notably a rifle mounted on the wall.
-10:42 “Reminiscent”
Arthur jumped the gun, tried to make the Entity remember anything, to no evail. This isn’t John. “You’re just Yellow” Arthur says. Yellow tells hom to send him back, but Arthur says he can’t, because he owes his friend to try and save him. Yellow says they owe each other nothing, that he’s a prisoner trapped in Arthur’s eyes. Since Yellow remembers nothing, Arthur says he’ll send Yellow back after he hels him find Anna Stanczyk.
Arthur says he was foolish to think Yellow was anything but a monster.
Yellow says Arthur is nothing but a mortal.
-14:22 “Reminiscent”
Yellow asks what happened to Arthurs hand, and he tells him about the forest. The wood looks like dark bone. Yellow asks if it hurts, and laughs when Artur says he would like that.
-14:55 “Faroes Song”
As Arthur changes, Yellow points out he is thin. Artur says he was nearly starved to death, and Yellow says that sounds like something he’d do. Yellow asks condescendingly if Arthur really beat him, and Arthur says he’d do it again.
-17:02 “Reminiscent”
Arthur says John used to be more appreciative of “this aspect of the job.” Yellow calls him weak, but Arthur says he was the farthest thing from it. He says weakness isn’t wishing to be mortal or enjoying life, but to think power makes you more valuable. Yellow says Arthur has the power to send him back, making Arthur valuable.
17:29 “Faroes Song” begins.
Arthur says power is not making him valuable, thats Yellow needing something of him, needing a mere mortal.
Yellow calls his logic stretched. He says his power makes him valuable, not who he is or his capability. He says he only needs him because of what he can do for him.
Arthur asls if weakness is needing someone for no other reason than who they are, and Yellow answers yes.
Arthur says that’s what happened to John, and Yellow calls him weak.
Arthur asks Yellow if he wonders why John yearned for humanity, and Yellow says it was because he had no other options.
Arthur says the fact that Yellow doesn’t question himself shows how limited he is compared to John.
Arthur says John is a better person than Yellow ever could be. Yellow points out that Arthur doesn’t question his own beliefs.
-19:05 “Reminiscent”
Jack Larsons name is on the paper. Yellow says the illegible handwriting is sad and pathetic. Arthur asks if he pities him, and Yellow denies.
-22:28 “Reminiscent”
Arthur is annoyed at how hard Yellow tries to win over every argument. He calls him a petulant child being told no for the first time. Arthur says, the first time around, he was scared, and thats what Yellow wants again, so hes saying things in hoping they stick to hold over his head. He tells him to just do the smart thing and work with him, and that gods shoudln’t care about arguing with a mortal.
-24:39 “Reminiscent”
They find a lamp in the storm, still hot. The snow beside is trampled, as if fallen on and then running. The tracks lead deeper into the forest. Where they stop, blood paints the snow, as if the person was dragged.
-27:12 “Reminiscent”
They fight over the fact that Yellow hardly remembers being the King. Arthur says he chpse this life, that he was helping Yellow. Yellow says Arthur imprisoned him. Before they can argue more, wolves enter the scene.
-28:44 “Faroes Song”
Airy, slow and light.
Arthur says he may be being unreasonable and unable to see Yellows perspective. Arthur says he did what he did for their frienship, and that it was easy to take away the parts of John he hated, especially when he hurt him. Yellows representation reminds him of the pain from both John and the King, but he says he may not be being fair. He apologizes.
Yellow is confused.
Arthur says he doesn’t know what Yellow knows or if he’s truthful, but he did force him here.
-30:28 “Reminiscent”
They come across a tavern, the Red Right Hand, three dead wolves hung by their feet at the front of the building.
-36:46 “Literal Hell”
A man in the tavern hits the piano. This cannot even be classified as playing it. After a moment, he actually begins to play an eerie tune as the rest of the tavern bangs on the tables.
The song speeds up as the people of the tavern dance.
Arthur begins to laugh, and the people begin looking at him. He begins to spiral as if being poisoined. The Bartender says there is a room upstairs, bed and bath for a dollar.
Yellow tells him they can’t sleep here, but Arthur makes his way to go anyway.
-42:30 “Reminiscent”
Yellow is at a loss for words from seeing the dancing. Watching people move without reason, simply to express. Arthur asks if he likes music, and Yellow says sure. Arthur says he played music, Yellow doesn’t care. Arthur says he knows, but he can hope he will. Yellow says humans hope so much, wasting so much on it, and that is why they are weak.
Arthur says hope is what gives people strength. Hope is about having the will to press on.
44:14 “Faroes Song”
Arthur recites a poem.
It goes as is:
“Out of the night that covers me.
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.”
Yellow asks if he wrote it, and Arthur answers no, someone more human than he, did.
Yellow asks why he shared it, and Arthur answers because its beautiful, it makes him feel strong. Yellow tells Arthur to sleep off the sick feeling. As Arthur yawns, Yellow says
“This, too, shall pass.”

I feel like Shen Jiu was a "robes with necklines up to the chin, five thousand layers" sort of dresser for sure for any number of choose your tragic backstory reasons (scars, social armor etc) though my headcanon is this man MUST have had wild nerve damage—on top of what childhood malnutrition will do to you, whatever went down at Qiu Manor plus all his Qi deviations have to have toasted his nervous system. Which also means toasted thermoregulation! An icicle of a man
All of this is lead up to say I do think a lot about the mass hysteria that must have resulted the first time Shen Yuan got to commission new robes for himself as SQQ. Since he didn't know why the maiden aunt aesthetic I'm sure he chose robes that showed his NECK. Possibly some collarbone. Do you think Yue Qingyuan fainted

soapghost circus au
ghost’s an extreme motorcycle stunt performer - globe of death, riding on his back wheel along tightropes, that sort of thing
soap’s a fire breather/dancer. he’s a roaming performer; he just finds empty spaces or bored people and starts twirling
he pretends not to notice the way he always wanders towards a certain tent every night to watch a certain masked daredevil defy gravity. he thinks he's slick and that ghost won't notice him in the crowd, completely forgetting that he's carrying something that happens to be on fire
ghost couldn't miss him if he tried
one day off, soap's trialing fire whips; he loves the loud crack and the way the flame licks through the air and maybe he's a little too impatient to practice with non flaming whips first, even though he's never used one before
he's covered in soot and fine welts where the tip of the whip keeps flicking back up at him, cutting through his shirt and stinging his skin but he doesn't let that stop him. it starts to stick to him, damp with sweat and blood and he's quick to strip it off; throwing it to the side to keep practicing
when soap finally gets a few good cracks in a row and breaks to celebrate, he almost jumps out of his skin when he sees the masked rider leaning against a trailer watching him
of all the times he's wanted ghost to talk to him, this is not one of them
he wanted to impress him, dance for him with his flaming batons and be mesmerised by his fluidity and skill
not catch him filthy and struggling with something as basic as a whip
he's ready for ghost to ream him out for not having control over the whip - he's known throughout the circuit for expecting utter perfection in his routines - but when ghost finally does speak, it's only to ask if he's done for the day
soap falters for a moment. he wanted to get some consistency with the whip before he stopped, but he's starting to feel the hours of practice; muscles aching and skin blistered with minor burns
he says he is and ghost pushes off the trailer, nodding his head to make soap follow. he brings him back to his trailer and tells him to clean up then takes out his personal med kit to treat the grazes on soap's skin
soap's shocked; for all that he loves to watch ghost perform, they've never really talked before
part of why he joined the circus was so he wouldn't be a burden on anyone, the oldest in a family with too many mouths to feed and not even time to nurture, and here he is taking up ghost's valuable practice time be he wasn't good enough to handle his own discipline. he tries to brush him off, downplaying the burns and tries to leave before half them can be treated but ghost just glares and orders him to sit back down
ghost does expect perfection from himself but it isn’t out of any malice or ego; it's bc he knows if he isn't perfect, he could very easily die. he’s picked a dangerous profession and he gives it the respect it deserves. there isn't any shame in being a novice or failing at something; he thinks there's a lot of beauty in having the courage to get back up again and again
so every day he watches soap practice and bullies him into his trailer to put him back together bc he knows he won't do it by himself
and every night soap wanders over to ghost's section of the fair grounds, in awe of his skill and wishing he could be worthy of the care he gives him

it really annoys me that during Astarion's confession scene there isn't a dialogue option to just say "I knew you were dishonest from the beginning" there are multiple shocked/surprised responses and that's especially ridiculous given the fact that he is now even more fake sounding than he was in early access.

i know i've posted before about how against the idea of women (because marvel's full of cowards and doesn't want to have that conversation) telepaths being romantically/sexually attracted to scott summers i have been.
and while I know the actual intent behind this pattern on marvel's end and still disagree with that for obvious reasons, ...
In a vacuum? It makes sense.
Most xmen characters express what they're about on the surface, and there aren't too many layers hidden underneath. I can imagine telepaths in the world of marvel getting quickly bored by the people in that world not having anything more to offer than what's out front. Then you have a character like scott, who is designed to be deeply introspective anti-surface-read. A character the audience only gets the full picture of (/learns to appreciate) if the medium allows that glimpse into what's going on below the carefully controlled outer shell. That must be fascinating for a telepath (especially in marvel where you don't have many characters strictly adhering to this design). Not only that, it would take a telepath, or someone who is privy to what's going on below the surface (like, a non-telepath who is trusted enough for scott to open up to) to appreciate the full breadth of this character. So of COURSE the ones who react positively to the idea of scott summers would be those who know there's a lot of unseen shit going on there. It makes sense.

Having demand avoidance in a medical setting is literally hell. Like, patient autonomy is already absolute ass. It's only made worse when doctors CONSISTENTLY tell you what to do and act like you HAVE to do it instead of consulting with you first like normal fucking people.
#also “”“”medical necessity“”“” is NOT an excuse here.#ive been to plenty of doctors that thoroughly discuss a range/timeline of treatment and explain it IN DETAIL before saying “thats what i-#-recommend“ instead of just going ”okay were gonna do this. im gonna explain the prep to you a mile a minute and if you have any follow up-#-questions im just gonna repeat part of my spiel with no clarification. and if i cant answer your questions too bad :)“#not to mention how many doctors just force you to do things that WILL NEVER WORK#like one therapist tried forcing me to do emdr when i was only IN HER TOWN for the summer and i had no internet access when i was at college#im pretty sure emdr takes several weeks to work and i did not have that kind of time available to me. i couldnt just drop out bc of ptsd.#also the number of times ive had to decline an ESI is stupid. I've already had 2! they didn't work! i had a bad reaction to the meds!#why am i being forced to do it again?#also back surgery. i cant do that because i am a white trash rural kid and our home (which we built ourselves) CANNOT be accessible enough#for spinal surgery recovery. but i went to the surgeon and he was like “thats valid! and also surgery literally wouldnt help you so idk why-#-they sent you here.“ : l It's cool to be right all the time lol#its like. no wonder i developed medical demand avoidance after so much traumatizing and malpracticy bullshit in my life#demand avoidance#medical demand avoidance#chronic illness burnout#chronic illness#chronic pain#medical tw#ptsd#disability#medical neglect#medical trauma#vent#this might be too personal. if i do delete it ill have it rb'd on my boar-deer-whitetrashbutterfly blog first#idk i just havent really been able to find anyone else talking about this specific effect of being chronically ill/disabled.

Six Sentence Someday
Tagged by @orime-stories thank you!
Despite what it looks like, I am in fact ocasionally still writing, I just tend to word vomit about my current obsession and then never finish it.^^° So yeah, my last game that I finished was Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest and it made me go insane, so have a part of my 1k monologue that I wrote for a potential time travel fix it. It is only 5 sentences because 6 would have been awkward, but if I ever get to it again you'll get a lot more.
"They ordered me to kill you but I couldn't do it. I would have ruined everything because I looked at you and remembered cherry blossoms and warm nights. I remembered off key lullabies and larger hands than mine on my back. I couldn't do it. And I think when you looked at me you knew that."
Gonna tag @adraveins and @stylishanachronism if you have anything you'd like to share.^^

90s run PAD has this rlly annoying trend where he very often write a female character being in love w miguel and suddenly her entire character shrinks down to the scope of what drama this provokes and it's near continually in service to the narratives of men (Gabriel and Miguel interpersonal drama for example). even when there are actually interesting things to be mined from this angle like w lyla its like. this is a pattern w you dude.
#my GOD we lost kasey nash in the wars skdfhjkdshfkjs#like. it sucked. the fact she goes from a revolutionary to primarily a wedge between gabri and miguel SUCKS.#for some reason its like folks pretend PAD also literally wasnt writing the kronom arc where character assasination is happening#left and right to prop up dana as a martry. when like he was literally just writing that.#like im sorry i love the 90s run too and i have a lot of sympathy for the strain the team wouldve been under while corp bullshit was#exploding above their heads but like. the fact PAD appears to like. just not be fucking bothered to explain what#danas thought processes are flipping from one belief to a wildly opposing one is just bad and tbh LAZY writing#and this is happening dozens of issues before the worst irl circumstances for the team even cropped up#tunes talks critical#can u tell im on my period lmao#tunes talks 2099#like even regarding xina. i think she escapes the worst of this writing treatment from PAD but like. the fact that the dimension PRIMARILY#explored in the text w her is around her relationship w miguel is honestly really disappointing. i LIKE that dimension yes but there is so#much more to explore with her! does she have friends outside of miguel (and if not does this tie into her apparent isolation from alchemax)#how does xina operate as a relatively independant and implied self employed individual in this world of corp monopolies#she CARES about the truth and fighting back against false narratives spun to consolidate power and profit so how does this extend into her#normal life? does she know about downtown when education wise this seems to be something utterly ommitted? what does she think about it?#what kind of hope did she hold regarding angela's work?#if she believes miguel to still work at alchemax why is this not a point of conflict between them? does she fear losing him? did she give#up trying? etc etc etc there are SO many compelling dimensions to explore w her and the text keeps them#largely sublimated to background details in the art. or what we can interpret as sublimated conflicts the characters dont want to address#but in terms of what is in the TEXT i want more. i want more as someone who really loves this fucking thing lmao

usually I just do thumbnails in a sketchbook, like real rough shit and then I take a quick picture and set it in a digital canvas and jump to drawing, but lately I've been going 'nah, we gotta go a little bit further. let's do some real inking, as a treat,' since I've been doing some Real Inking in my sketchbook and want to see if I can emulate it digitally
however I found a perfect tiny sketchbook that is a reduced size for the digital comic canvas I use, so we're like. drawing real backgrounds. laying out the dialogue placement. thinking about scene props. drawing. fucking stairs. going outside and taking reference photos of stuff. augh.

when I was in 8th grade I had the same teacher for physics and geometry and he was like one of those dudes who always wanted to be one of the cool kids but never was so now he got to be the cool teacher that all the cool kids loved so he would like straight up bully the weird kids (me and my friends lol ✌️) and I thought it was wack as hell that a grown ass man was calling my friend, a 13 year old girl, stupid in front of the whole class for asking a fucking question so I constantly told him to back off and would get in full on screaming matches with the man about why he was not allowed to treat us like that (at one point I basically told him that if he ever made my friend cry again I would not rest until his teaching license was revoked lol) and it got to the point where he was like. actually for real beefing with me during class and in the hallways when he saw me and sometimes after school
anyway I just wanna say first of all fuck you Mr. Glasson, second of all what kind of like 28 y/o man has a fr beef with a fucking 13 year old. I literally wore a cloak to school. he was having beef with a child with pink hair, in a cloak. can you fucking imagine jsbdksbdndmdbnd
#one time i was early for class and i was in like the advanced program so most of us had the majority of our core clases together#so we were all talking abt the history honework due later today and i told my friend that i had made drawings for my answers#and showed her and my other friends and then my other classmates wanted to see so they were like passing it around#then like literally the second the bell rang‚ right as it was being handed back to me to be put away‚ he snatched it out of my fucking hand#and ripped part of it and crumpled it up and threw it in the fucking trash!#and fucking said 'class has started no other work is allowed'#which was bullshit because he used to help the jocky kids with their fucking other classes homework during class so fuck him#anyway i was really upset because i had worked really hard on it and i was afraid i would get a 0 on the assignment#then after class this kid that was one of the cool kids who had like never talked to me in any sort of kind way before#walked up to me and gave me the assignment back#he had dug it out of the trash (glasson actually made sure to put it under food that was in there :))#and hed wiped it off and smoothed it out and taped it back together#and he couldnt really meet my eyes but as he handed it to me he said 'im sorry. that was really messed up. you didnt deserve that' and left#it still stands out to me as an unbelievably kind gesture#shout out to horned (his last name)#oh and another time id finished literally all my class work and my homework and id helped my friend finish hers#and there was like 20 minutes of class left to i decided to practice my circular gallifreyan and the mother fucker did the exact same thing#bitch what did you want me to do? i completed my work and then did your fucking job for you and helped my friends#should i have stared at a wall????#FUCK you mr glasson i hope ur wife left u#also i stole his personal copy of his favorite book AND a textbook AND a graphing calculator#bc he told us once he had to pay for them out of his own pocket and they were really expensive ❤️#i also did manage to kick him in the shin once and stomp on his foot another time without getting in trouble#amd i always wondered why he didnt have me suspended#but now im p sure it was to cover his own ass because he had 2 classes of witnesses who'd seen him say nasty shit to me#as well as an entire hallway of teachers who once heard us fucking screaming at each other#that was the time i threatened to get his license revoked ❤️❤️
