Map Wall: Map of Revachol
Revachol:
North Coast of La Caillou
“Shattered by the delta” of the Esperance
Series of river islands and distributaries
EAST REVACHOL
Le  Jardin
Stella Maris
Saint-Batiste (made up of suburbs, home of Saint-Batiste pharmaceutical company)
WEST REVACHOL
Couron
not Grand-Couron [district in jamrock] The Lower Middle Class (Possibly the district the GRIH/57th is in?)
Jamrock
Burnt out Quarter in the heart of jamrock
Faubourg
“Almost as bad” and much bigger than Jamrock 
Coal City
Poverty district
Martinaise
North of Jamrock Strip of coast next to the GRIH 1200m distance between bookstore and church
NOTES: Finding the factoid about the distance between the bookstore and the church is HUGE! It gives us more of a scale to the map. I need to track down the conversation sources but i still want to note that Couron and Grand-Couron are separate locations.
Map Wall - Several maps have been attached to a bulletin board hidden inside the alcove. They're held up by small pins. The board has come loose from one corner.
Map Wall - The maps look old and faded. Your eye catches a map of Insulinde, a map of Revachol, and a map of Martinaise.
You - Look at the map of Revachol.
Map Wall - The north coast of a verdant island is shattered by the delta of a river. It is the River Esperance. Countless bridges put the shards back together, connecting city blocks to river islands. *La Delta*, says a great, artificial heart in the centre, teeming with lifeforms and construction.
Map Wall - To the east, rolling hillsides: Le Jardin, Stella Maris, the suburbs of Saint-Batiste, swallowed up into the megacity. They sound *rich* to you. This is Revachol East.
You - And west of the river?
Map Wall - Couron. It's somewhere to live. Not bad. Then there's Jamrock -- it's *bad*. People shouldn't live there, but they do. Then Faubourg -- it's almost *as* bad and much larger. Then Coal City. It's the worst.
You - And Martinaise?
Map Wall - It's so small you can't even see it on the map. No... wait. There it is! North of Jamrock, the strip of coast next to the Greater Revachol Industrial Harbour. It looks downright despondent. It's almost Coal City, to be honest.
Shivers - No. Coal City is worse. A charred limb. Rain falls on its slick black streets. And then there's the Burnt-Out Quarter in the heart of Jamrock... is it cold in this bookstore, or is it just *you*?
Volition - No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.
Inland Empire - You feel you're *just* west of Coal City. Somewhere above Jamrock and close to Coal City.

i want to take a shower and have clean laundry and be free. but instead i have to read and takes notes for political science, take a quiz for political science, do an assignment for political science that requires watching a 50 minute video and making a chatgpt account???, and a midterm for my film class that has 6 sections will apparently take 2.5-3 HOURS to complete and must be done in one sitting... all due by sunday. it is friday night. all for the whole workload to reset monday.

SCREAMING AND CRYING AND PISSING AND BASHING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL
i was nostalgia lurking around my old circle i used to run with back in 2016 when i made my first yandere themed writing account and- so my old tumblr got terminated so most of my old writing has been lost to the tumblr sands of time (thank GOD) but i actually managed to find one of my ANCIENT posts that was in this style-
Tumblr media
and i stg i felt myself lose a solid half year from my life line in that one second
i just- MAAAANN this isn’t gonna make any sense to people who weren’t on fandom tumblr in the mid 2010s i used to see those posts EVERYWHERE, but i forgot all about them and then was reminded I WROTE ONE AND I WANNA FUCKING DIEEEEE

Anyone who doesn’t think fast food workers deserve to be paid more should be required to work a third shift weekend shift with a skeleton crew the night of a big concert while being one of the only places in town that’s open after midnight

i haven’t been posting as much lately or making anything because life is kind of hell right now and i’m just trying to drown it out with mindless video games (have been playing raft, the wandering village, and coral island nonstop for days)
hurricane ian left us without power for 2 weeks and internet for 3, i haven’t been able to go back to work because of how bad the internet has been, i’m kind of just down and depressed in general with everything. i am probably going to have to move sooner than planned so that’s just more stress and i really need to go through all of my shit and get rid of most of it before we move so it’s less expensive since it’s across the country but i have no motivation lmao.
lots of positive things are happening too — new kitten we found in a parking lot and took in is an angel, my job has been awesome about the issues from the hurricane, i’m def gonna be able to afford to move, testosterone has been really amazing to me, etc it just fucking sucks to keep living through major life events and this hurricane was fucking devastating to my hometown and many places that shaped my childhood. i hate florida as much as the next guy but nobody deserves to have their homes, businesses and entire lives just swept away like this. seeing all of the destruction around has been very humbling to say the least but more than that it just makes me want to get the fuck away from all of this more.

Weeks only just started, and I'm already having a bad one... I'm not sure how often I'll be online for the next couple of days. It all depends on if my mood keeps dropping.
If you want to plot some threads or ships for when my mind allows me to write, I can shoot you my discord <3
