For archive purposes: March, 2013

If he has one driving goal in his film career, it's to participate in a project that leaves a lasting impression. "Ultimately what I'd like to do is leave behind a movie that's a piece of art," he says. "One movie out of however many I make that influences or has an impact or someone holds up in the future as a piece of art. That's the ultimate goal."

Chaos. Blackness. Then a pair of inconceivably blue eyes burst open, filling the screen. This is how most audiences were first introduced to Cillian Murphy three and a half years ago, when the Irish actor erupted onto the scene in the post-apocalyptic sleeper hit 28 Days Later. As Jim, a bike courier who awakens from a coma after London has been wiped out by a deadly infection, the largely unknown 24-year-old found himself as the lead in Danny Boyle's poetically terrifying film. As the audience surrogate, Murphy's face telegraphed all the confusion, innocence, and wonder we would expect of a hero-in-the-making who is realizing he might very well be the last man on earth.

After the success of 28 Days Later, a career in Hollywood films was inevitable. It's not just that Murphy looks as though his face were sculpted from marble, topped off by those aforementioned stunning eyes. As he showed in 28 Days Later and subsequent films such as Girl With a Pearl Earring and Intermission, he was a chameleonic performer, a character actor trapped in a leading man's bone structure. In 2005 he found himself starring in two blockbuster hits in which he played characters that couldn't be further from the well-intentioned Jim. As Dr. Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow, Murphy's silky smooth calmness was put to villainous use in Batman Begins. He followed that with a turn as Jackson Rippner, a mysterious stranger who traps hotel manager Lisa (Rachel McAdams) into an assassination plot in Wes Craven's Red Eye. While both films were unabashedly popcorn entertainment, each transcended its genre with stellar casting and sharp direction.

After these back-to-back successes, it seemed there was only one logical step for the newly minted star. So Murphy shaved his legs, plucked his eyebrows, and gamely jumped into the role of Patrick "Kitten" Braden, the transvestite orphan whose adventures with cabaret singing, prostitution, and the Irish Republican Army don't even begin to sum up the strange and delightful world of Neil Jordan's Breakfast on Pluto (opening in limited release Nov. 18). Written by Jordan and Patrick McCabe, on whose 1998 novel the film is based, Pluto is a loopy journey featuring Murphy in a bravura performance as the needy heroine who spends her life looking since he first auditioned for it four years ago. Jordan couldn't get the film financed at the time, but he never forgot Murphy--largely because the actor wouldn't let him. "I did a test with Cillian and several young Irish actors to see: Was the role even playable?" says Jordan. "Cillian was not well-known at all but gave a blistering performance. Problem was, after that he would never let it go. Every time we met, he'd ask, 'When do we start shooting?'"

Murphy got his wish in 2004, when Jordan got the money and jumped right into a 10-week shoot. It was sudden, but Murphy took it in stride.

Early Stages

In person Murphy speaks softly, his voice heavy with his native accent--one that has rarely been captured on film, as he frequently adopts English or American accents for roles. He speaks in simple, sparse terms of how he came to acting.Born and raised in Cork, Ireland, Murphy grew up on a diet of American TV and was interested in movies and music. At age 20 he was playing in a band, and he saw a play at the Corcadorca Theatre Company in his hometown. "I went up and knocked on the door of the theatre and said, 'Listen, if you have any parts in any plays coming up, let me know,'" he recalls. "And the guy said, 'There's this play called Disco Pigs. Come in for an audition.' I went in and got the part, and that was it, really."He may make landing the job sound easy, but anyone who saw the 2001 film adaptation of Disco Pigs can attest it was more than luck that got Murphy cast. As the violent and unpredictable Pig, pathologically devoted to his lifelong friend Runt, Murphy is a force of nature we can't take our eyes off of. Still, he admits that at times he felt out of his league. "I was going to go back to playing in a band; I was just acting as a laugh," he says. "But it didn't transpire like that. I don't think I realized it was a career until recently. But I don't enjoy anything as much as I enjoy acting. I never got a kick out of anything as much as I get out of acting when it's going well. You build up a real hunger for it."

For the next three years he worked in theatre, learning on the job while performing in such classics as The Seagull and Much Ado About Nothing. "I think that's the best place to learn as actor," he observes. "I consider it my training ground. I was very lucky to work with a lot of great directors and great plays. I went from smaller parts onstage to bigger parts onstage, then smaller parts in movies to bigger parts in movies. It was a very organic way to do it."

He landed his first agent, Richard Cook at The Lisa Richards Agency, when Cook saw him onstage in Disco Pigs; he remains with the agent to this day. Murphy has a Los Angeles agent, Darren Statt at United Talent Agency, whom he says "saw an audition tape I did for a movie and took me on based on that--which is actually quite unusual." He also has a London representative, Lou Coulson with The Lou Coulson Agency. As Murphy began landing various film and television roles, he had to adjust to auditioning regularly. "It took me awhile to realize auditioning is a different skill than acting," he says. "They're entirely unrelated skills. Just because you're a good actor, it doesn't mean you'll be good in a room with a director. I had to learn to audition."

It was the film version of Disco Pigs that caught Boyle's eye when he was casting for 28 Days Later. Surprisingly, Murphy's newcomer status worked in his favor. "We thought that it was more appropriate for the film that it should not be a star vehicle," says Boyle. "Rather, it should be a community of people we cast as equals." Boyle also felt Murphy displayed an innocent quality that would endear Jim to the audience. "The feeling of a child who is forced to become a man and, by the end of the film, be almost primal, I thought Cillian had that," Boyle reasons. Murphy rewarded his director's trust with a searing performance, taking Jim from wide-eyed youth to fierce protector in the space of 108 minutes. "I've been lucky to have support from great people like Danny," Murphy raves. "He let me carry 28 Days Later. But, ultimately, if you don't produce in the work, you won't get hired. You're only as good as your last job."

Armed with this knowledge, Murphy was selective about his projects after the success of 28 Days Later. "I'm aware of the system and how certain doors open when a film does well," he says. "A lot more people started taking meetings with me. And people began to pronounce my name correctly, that's always been a good yardstick for me." Although most people probably know by now, the correct pronunciation is "kill-ee-un."

Being Bad

Murphy claims he would have been perfectly happy to continue doing theatre the rest of his life; indeed, when he speaks of performing onstage, it's with a low-key but palpable passion. But he is also practical. "If there's an opportunity to do a good film with a good director, you've got to take it," he muses. "You'd be foolish not to. And if a bit of momentum builds up, you have to stick with it."

He has collaborated with some of the most prestigious directors working today, from Anthony Minghella in Cold Mountain to Ken Loach in the upcoming The Wind That Shakes the Barley. Yet he insists there's no deliberate strategy to his career. "I want to do different things and keep myself interested and keep improving," he remarks. "Wherever that takes me, I don't know. There's no plan--it's all out of your control anyway. The only thing I've ever insisted upon is diversity. Every role you take, you have to be afraid that you can't do it. Otherwise, there's no point in doing it." The primary factors that draw him to projects are the script and the director. "It's got to be a good script to start with," he says. "If it's a bad director, they can make the script mediocre pretty fast. But the combination of a good director and good script--that's the ultimate. And I can't believe how lucky I've been to have both."

When it came to auditioning for Batman Begins, Murphy didn't look at it as a blockbuster franchise that would raise his salary quote--he saw it as an opportunity to play a well-crafted character and work with director Christopher Nolan. "I would do any movie with Chris Nolan," he says. "It was a good script and a great part. I had so much fun." Nolan originally brought Murphy in to read for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. "I saw Cillian in 28 Days Later and was struck by the extraordinary intensity of his performance," says Nolan. "We tested him for Batman, and his presence just leapt off the screen. Everyone who saw it got very excited about the idea of casting him as Scarecrow. He has a fantastic ability to project interior passions with a power that can be by turns either chilling or seductive."

As Scarecrow, Murphy proved a hero is only as interesting as his nemesis, and his cool confidence was enthralling--just listen to the way he draws out "Batman" as two words in a cruel taunt.He brought that same dangerous appeal to Red Eye, a film in which his Rippner is more or less played as the romantic leading man--until he reveals he's a stone-cold killer. "I was very careful not to come at that character as the bad guy," he explains.

"He's been chosen for his job because he has access to this charisma and approachability. For him to be revealed too quickly would be pointless." Murphy also enjoyed being the heavy, a nice respite from saving the world in 28 Days Later. "It's fun to be the bad guy," he notes. "I thought it was a great role. Just because he turned out to be bad, it didn't represent any more or less fun than playing [Jim]. It's still a great range there to convey."Murphy also wants to make it clear that playing back-to-back villains was a fluke of distribution. "I did get very frustrated with the question, 'Why are you playing the bad guys this summer?'" he says. "I guess it's an easy in. I've made 10 feature films and played two bad guys. I think anyone who's seen the rest of my work will realize that's not what I specialize in at all."

Men Are From Pluto

If Murphy had any concerns about being pigeonholed, he certainly confounded expectations as Kitten in Breakfast on Pluto. "That role was a gift," he insists. "To work with Neil, who's a living legend--he's amazing." To prepare for the role, Murphy reread the book and talked extensively with McCabe, who was frequently on-set. "The book is a masterpiece but not always conducive to the screen, and the film has to be cinematic," Murphy notes. "I used a lot of the episodes in the book that aren't in the movie as my own research." Aware that the role was "completely transformative," he also spent a lot of time getting down Kitten's gestures and movements. "It's a long process," he says. "The physical side wasn't too hard; that's just grooming, really. The clothes and hair and eyebrows--anybody can do that. It was getting the voice and the walk and the physicality." Murphy went so far as to hit London nightclubs in drag. "It's important to do that. How much of it you use or not in the end is irrelevant," he says. "It's just important to have a reference point."

While the sight of Murphy in skirts and wigs is frequently funny, his sensitive and sweet portrayal elevates the film and engages the audience in Kitten's struggles. He is boosted by a top-notch supporting cast that includes Stephen Rea as a sad-eyed suitor, his Batman co-star Liam Neeson as a priest, and his 28 Days Later co-star Brendan Gleeson as a drunken theme-park character. It's a giddy, charming work Murphy aptly describes as "an unexpected fairy-tale disco fantasy."Murphy says he can talk about Pluto "until the cows come home," a bold statement considering that he confesses to an aversion to interviews. "I don't particularly like interviews or having my picture taken," he says, somewhat apologetically. "I don't mind it as a character, just not as myself. I don't like the perceived celebrity of it. I'm not about to become a personality or go on talk shows to entertain people as me, as Cillian." He points out he has never done a talk show in his life--mention Regis and Kelly and he pauses for a moment before replying, "I don't know who those people are."Of course, with his profile on the rise, Murphy admits he has given serious thought to how to maintain a healthy career without having his private life exposed to the world. He even discussed the topic with Batman co-star Christian Bale, whom he praises as "the best Batman" and a dedicated actor. "I actually asked his advice because you don't see him in the papers," says Murphy. "He pretty much told me, 'Don't behave like a celebrity, and you won't get treated like one.' I guess if you don't go out to a lot of parties and fall down, people don't take photographs of you."

Accent on Talent

Murphy recently wrapped Sunshine, a sci-fi adventure that reunites him with director Boyle in which he is once again saving the world-this time from a dying sun. Surprisingly--considering that Boyle gave the actor his biggest break--he still had to audition for the role. "I kind of wanted to," he says with a shrug. "That's what we do; we're actors. I don't understand this thing about actors who won't read for parts. I wanted to show him I could do it. I'm playing an American, and the movies hadn't come out yet where I'm American, so I think he wanted to see me do it." Murphy notes that early in his career he encountered resistance when auditioning for American roles. "They would hear me speak and say, 'Jesus, there's no way,'" he recalls. "But once you do it well, people accept it. And after a while it becomes second nature. That's why I think actors should never be limited by their background. This is what we do: We dress up and put on voices. So people should never be afraid to cast someone because of their accent."

Murphy isn't sure what he'll do next. He mentions taking a break, having worked steadily for the last few years. He'd also love to get back to theatre and tackle some of the great roles. Point out that a website erroneously reported that he has played Hamlet and he seems wistful. "No, I wish. I'd love to," he says. "I hope they said I did a good job." He also

acknowledges the differences between film and the stage. "Obviously, it's different vocally. If you're playing to an auditorium of 1,100 people, you've got to magnify the performance," he says. "For me, film acting is when you can see what the actor's thinking. Theatre acting, you've got to get up to the gods and let them know what's going on." Murphy doesn't mind returning to small theatres-he might even prefer it. "Disco Pigs was always in tiny little sweatboxes," he notes. "As the play got more popular and moved to bigger houses, I think it lost some of its allure. I remember doing Disco Pigs in its first incarnation and turning and getting sweat all over the front row. It was so visceral and dirty and sweaty. Then, when you start playing to bigger auditoriums, it's not as sexy."

may or may not have been apparent, but i've been replaying fe13 for the past two weeks during my uh, very limited free time. originally played it around 2013-2014, and so i don't recall much other than a very specific incident in the first act (which will be under the cut for spoilers!)

one thing that i've been doing differently is playing with all of the first gen units as much as i could! it was very much unlike EO where there's a wider space for player interpretation, since these characters are like, prepackaged with their own personalities! and given to us to play around with. admittedly it's taking a lot of effort + i'm going through the game much slower than i would with only one party (i.e. how i first played it & how i play EO), but a part of me feels a bit happier seeing these guys run around and interact with one another. [for context, i turned off the 3d sections so i mostly see them as little pixel children]

another thing that's influenced by my personal life is that i found myself loving the first gen a lot?! they remind me of my friends very much, especially given that my two main friend groups are currently merging while slowly absorbing other friends of friends into the circle. even though i feel really disconnected and often disagree with the game's main plot, i'm kind of happy that the shepherds kept me going.

[the drawback of this is that i'm reluctant to pair them even with the gay awakening mod. and even then, i don't feel as excited to start getting the children units anyway <:") in my head, they're like other guilds encountered in EO]

i get into spoilers now, and it's a lot more disjointed and ranty from here on out.

OK SO.... EMMERYN.

I have mentioned it in a past post but EMMERYN, I NEED TO TALK ABOUT EMMERYN.

this lady has been haunting me for the past near-decade. i recall playing chapters 9-11 in quick succession before, but i don't really understand why i kept remembering her when i literally forgot most of the conflict save for the very last chapter of the game. is it trauma? is it something else? i don't know!

tbh apart from feeling as though stp kind of felt a bit similar to the themes of fe13's last arc, i started replaying because I wanted to see what was up with my brain holding onto Emm. and after ch9, i feel a lot more upset at the direction the story took than i feel closure. sure, i understand where she was coming from. her pacifism is admirable AND she managed to protect both ylisse and her siblings, but man. it doesn't feel right that they killed her.

maybe it's just my stance as a writer coloring my view, but personally i don't like killing off characters because that writes them off of the plot. like real life, they can't do much anymore cuz they're dead (unless they're a ghostie, but to me that doesn't count as real death since they can still be an active force in the story). emm could have still survived; the writers could still proceed with the rest of the story with minor tweaks.

another thing that bothers me is her final speech toward the plegians. my wife noted that the "freeing from the cycle of pain" could have been strengthened if she denounced her father's war, especially since ylisse and plegia haven't explicitly made amends in the past 15 years. her country was the one that harmed theirs, and while it wasn't her who did that, it's like taking accountability as a ruler and recognising the harm done by her predecessor. and "see now that one selfless act has the power to change the world" is just... there's something about it but for me it's not hitting good. maybe i'll think about it more and return to it when i have the words, but for now it's up there in my mind.

the way emmeryn is handled also kind of extends my feelings toward the main conflict as a whole. maybe it's because of recent events too, but ooooh it doesn't feel like it's handled all that well. my wife knows how much i've complained about the dissonance between the actual political and human conflict and uh, the writing. like the ylisse-plegia conflict is so interesting but then it isn't as reflected or as utilised effectively in the way that the chapter scripts are written ToT one funny thing i could think of would be enemies saying "screw u, ur king screwed us over 15 years ago" and chrom could be like "?!?!? that was 15 years ago!" and he would get the response of "STILL." which isn't a very well-written exchange but it does kinda reflect the conflict a bit better imo.

idk! i'm trying to cope with "this is very camp" but it does not feel very camp. it's melodramatic yes but it's not camp ToT

#bleats #fe13 #this is mostly for my personal safekeeping #u dun have to read it cuz it's LONG #i don't know tho but also it's because i don't really delve into the fe fandom #but like shepherds with karaoke screaming sessions #and talking about little mundane things with fervor #and ruining each others' humor with stupid inside jokes #the supports do tap into this but the thing is that it's one-on-one #which makes me like imagine scenarios when a support is happening then someone else like joins in the convo #or when supports are tied to each other (which in-game would be more work for the developers)#recently i was reading gaius' supports and he asks olivia to taste the pies he makes #and he suggested to libra that libra should make sweets for the kids #idk there's sumn there!!!#gaius u can try to make pies for the kids AND steal the other sweets for yourself #or alternatively gaius could mention that plan to olivia and then libra is within earshot #so he turns to the two of them with the most incredulous look like “????”#emmeryn

8 and 12 for the Guild Wars ask game!

Thank you for the ask! :D

8. Do you have any items you keep in your characters’ inventory for purely sentimental reasons?

Since I got a couple of 8s, let's move on to bank.

Or better not, because I basically keep everything that could be unique. That one drop you only need for a collection and can sell or delete? You bet I still have it. "Click to gain karma" drawings of children from the event back in 2013. Yup. I have issues.

Some items I love for no particular reason are the amulet Call of the Wild, which was the first ascended item I bought (luckily there's no gear grind, so it's still as valuable 10 years later), one of almost every color of lucky rabbit's paws (I AM MISSING GREEN AND THEY REMOVED THE VENDOR *sobs*), a "Cipher Ring" and an "Awakened Soul" which I got roughly around the time I was playing Pillars of Eternity 😂, "Charr-Nip" and "Old Tom's Vital Readings (He's Dead)" which dropped for a collection when killing Old Tom.

12. Is there anything that has been removed from the game that you miss or are particularly nostalgic about?

I'm a bit salty about the legendary wardrobe/skill templates. On the one hand, it's great: Once you unlock a legendary item, every char can use it simultaneously. I'll never have to buy a single piece of armor again. Incredible.

On the other hand, for weapons that sucks, because the moment you unequip it and it's not used in another template, the customization is gone: Runes and infusions drop out, stats reset, skin is gone. That's no monetary loss, but if I quickly wanna swap to a different weapon to use a skill and swap out the wrong one, I can spend 1 min reassembling my gear 😂

Quick weapon swap was common in dungeons: pull out that hammer to blast, and that warhorn to speed up, back to sword. So now despite having those "everyone can use them" legendary weapons... I don't use any of them, but buy the lower rarity ones instead. All that wasted money 😭

And even worse, you have two gear template slots. Now if that sword you just swapped out for warhorn is also used in the second template, it does not drop back into inventory (which is, in theory, great, because you save up to 16 slots by not having to drag a full gear set around!), so I cannot reequip it quickly.

It's not a problem if you use the gear templates for completely separate things - heal and damage, condi and power - but that also sucks, because you use food and enhancements with each build, which $$$, and they don't get swapped along but have to be overwritten each time, so it's more practical to make two completely different chars so you don't have to throw a gold at it after every second fight.

That's probably a lot of words someone not playing the game won't quite get, sorry 😅

#salad-ask #boldnightmarishreverbs #it's me i'm the oc #it's better and it's worse and I guess I'm just sitting on my lawn shouting about the good old days

This shows Naegi and the rest of the 78th class started school in 2014. Which means the 77th class started school in 2013. The game doesn’t make it clear but if they’re all high school freshmen, then they’re all 15 bc that’s when you start high school in Japan. If we take “HPA only scouts students who were already enrolled in high school” as “students have to complete at least a year of high school before going to HPA,” then they’re at most in their second year of high school before coming to HPA. Since Japanese high school is only for 3 years and we see at least two different years of students in DR3. (Class 77 aka the SDR2 cast and class 76 aka the one with Ruruka, Seiko, and that guy whose name I forgot) That makes the students 16 at most when they start school, with the exception of Hagakure, who is 21.

Anyway my point is class 78 was born in 1998-1999. And class 77 was born in 1997-1998. The last of the 90s kids. And also older than me. These guys watched Naruto AND Shippuden as it aired. Fujisaki watched Code Geass and it awakened something in him. Celeste watched Ouran High School Host Club and it awakened something in HER. Togami watched Death Note and kinned Light Yagami.

Also this means Trigger Happy Havoc took place in 2016. The 78th class spent a year in HPA going to normal school and a year in hiding after the tragedy before Junko started the killing game. This also means the tragedy happened in 2015. I blame FNAF for this. Junko played FNAF and also maybe listened to Hamilton and decided thats enough civilization for now. Mukuro did the same but then she played Undertale as well so she wasn’t as into the apocalypse as she could have been.

It's ME AGAIN

The link not dying in the forest ask.

So I've got another question going on:

The four Beasts

Vah Ruta : princess Ruto

Vah Rudania: Darunia

Vah Naboris: Naboru

Vah Medoh: Medli

We all know this right?

BUT

Why Medoh?

How do they know a sage in the Wind Era?

I personally think botw plays after the child Era because when zelda blessed Link in that memory, she mentioned the hero of twilight so its kind of logical that botw comes after the child Era, no?

So how are they aware of the sage Medli if she's In a whole different Timeline

... And it kind of doesn't make sense for me if botw shares two timeliness at once bc huh??

How can you be in one Timeline and know what's going on in the other are you a God???

Or do you think nintendo had no idea what to name Revalis Beast 💀

Granted, I wouldn't know a name fitting for a bird beast either.

The other 3 make sense because these are the sages of Oot, the core of all timelines.

Side rant: in Goron city, they have a large stone Darmani ingraved - Darmani is a Goron in Majoras Mask, which comes after oot, the child era

In Zoras domain, they have big glowing walls that mention Princess Ruto

In Rito village they play the song of Dragon roost Island (so there's kind of a connection there)

And Gerudo Village has a mountain named Naboru but that's kinda weak I think

I've got so much going on my head, I'm obsessed with zelda theories I tell you

Well actually there's references to all three timelines in BotW. As you mentioned there's a lot of references to the child timeline in BotW.

You can see the Twili Mirror my Lurelin Village (if memory serves me correct) and there's also Majora's Mask (I don't know if that's DLC or not).

And yet, as mentioned before, the island names are still the same even in BotW. People have been able to pi point where exactly Wind Waker took place and it helps that those point on the map are also some of the highest elevated areas in all my Hyrule.

But! For the downfall timeline, there's actually a lot of references to Link's Awakening as well. But wait! Koholint was an island in a dream. How it can be references in reality?

Well there was Gaponga Swamp and Mabe Village (as fully seen in Age of Calamity, even if it's fully destroyed in BotW) and there's even Koholint Rock. For the names ot be carried on, there would have to have been someone who named them, right? Someone who did so purposefully with the knowledge that the name existed to begin with.

Personally, I think it was the Link of that adventure that renamed a few placces to keep the memory of Koholint alive. But that brings us to your other point.

More timeline in one place? Whaaaatt.

Here me out. This is where The Theory kicks in.

Now, anyone who's played Hyrule Warriors (2013) knows that the game is not only not canon but within the game there was a sorceress outside of the timelines that was supposed to watch over them. That being said, then she got corrupted by power, there were multiple portals that opened which caused Link and Zelda (ad company) to travel through worlds and timelines.

Warrior (the Link from that game) ends up meeting Midna and Ghirahim. Along with Ruto and Daruk. In the DCL he even meets Wind, Tetra, the King of Red Lions, Skullkid, Young Link along with Ravio and Marin.

Here's my personal pitch to why it should be considered canon.

It would then make sense as to why there's so many references to all three timelines in BotW.

Somewhere in trying to fix the problem of all these portals and send everyone to their respective homes, it would have been the merge needed to put everything in the same timeline again. Or at least keep it that way since they would have all ended up in the same era anyway.

This would put Warrior under, Hyrule, Twilight and Wind but before Wild in terms of who came before who in the timelines we have.

He's not canon so it doesn't count. >:( But I think that would be a simple solution to why all three very distinct histories seemed appeared in the same place when they should have very different outcomes.

#pinky replies #those are just my two cents anyway #I think if they made Warrior's game canon is would fix that issue #in my heart of hearts i see it as history #but until then- i wonder if there's going to be another reason that nintendo comes up with #because it's heavily implied that the three timelines no longer exist #but they haven't given any clue to why that might be #I'll have to wait until TotK to see if anything changes

How did you and lysandre get together?

on october 20th 2013, i was visiting my sister's old place (she's moved since then.) at the time i was playing pokémon x but i was really enjoying the game so i was taking my sweet time with it, catching as much as i could in each route before moving on, exploring every corner, talking to every npc etc. so i'd just reached the anistar city gym, and once i beat that obviously i got lysandre's call. so then i went to do all of that and entered an altered state of being in the process

and then ofc i killed him.

well i didn't really kill him honestly it was mostly him doing it but you know. anyway i couldn't even begin to explain to you why this unlocked some part of my brain that desperately latched on to evil french man from baby game but it did and now i'm like this

i've actually been drawing art celebrating our years of marriage since 2020 when i caught a shiny wooloo and drew this bc 7 years anniversaries are associated with wool here

(the wooloo is actually called NocesdeLaine lmfao)

last year was poppies but i've kept the drawing private (just for personal reasons) however this year is faience ... i guess i could have shiny hunted for polteageist 😭 not really in the mood lately tho

sorry for going on a tangent but yeah beating team flare is really what awakened my obsession for him when we first met i was just like "haha funny obviously evil guy he's fun" (please know that before him i literally hadn't cared about any pokémon game characters except eusine in heart gold and like steven stone when i was 10-11) and i joked about shipping him with sycamore post-café lysandre scene but i had NO idea what would happen to my brain cells because of this fucking game

#la réponse d #ftr i do not identify as a self-shipper at all i would say i'm actually closer to a kinnie honestly but #i do like calling him 'my wife' and celebrating our anniversary i just think it's fun #blorbo

I've been thinking about names lately. More specifically I've been thinking about names in relation to myself and my kintypes. Of the three that I have, only one has a name. Actually, that side of me has multiple names.

My first awakening was in 2013, when I was 21. I'd had feelings on "otherness" and unbelonging since early childhood, accompanied by the persistent feeling that my current life was in someway unreal. However I had no words to describe these experiences until someone I followed on my old tumblr blog began identifying as otherkin. Then everything clicked into place. I sometimes wonder what became of them, if they're still in the community somewhere under a different name. Cringe culture was strong on tumblr, and the otherkin community was being lambasted pretty severely. Forums where the chosen gathering places for most fringe communities at the time, and it was on kinmunity that I first began interacting with other alterhumans.

At first I called myself monster, then spirit, then deity; refining my label as more memories and noema came to me. None of these labels really described what I am. They fit like a too tight pair of jeans. They were generally the correct shape, but they made me uncomfortable. I've now finally discovered my correct label. The one that people knew my kind as in my other life.

Umbra.

It fits like a finely tailored suit. When I think of the word there is a sense of rightness, familiarity.

Even before I discovered the name of my kind I knew my own personal names. I have many. Iosef, Le'f'forn, Yoshida, Yolanda, two others that shall not be written or spoken. Whichever one is in use depends on the time, place, people, and context.

In my almost 10 years in the community I've never spoken much about being an Umbra. Initially there was the fear of being ridiculed by outsiders. Then there was the fear of rejection from the community. When I joined there was a strong culture of grilling, of proving that you were a "serious" otherkin, not a "wishkin" or "fluffy". Having clear memories and noema was looked down upon harshly, especially if you were not therian or theriomythic. In the early days of my community involvement I would edit, or entirely omit, memories and parts of myself that I believed would attract ire from established community members. Perhaps one day I will write more of my memories and noema of being an Umbra, and explain what it actually is. Or maybe I'll continue keeping it to myself. Who knows.

My second awakening was, I believe, sometime in 2016/17. The catalyst for this was playing Dragon Age: Inquisition for the first time. Playing as a Qunari put into perspective some experiences and feelings that I had that didn't fit with being an Umbra. I did write a short essay about it, I'll have to see if I can find it again.

As a Qunari I don't have a name. Or, I suppose, it's just my human name. Although being a Qunari counts as being fictionkin, I don't really feel any connection the world that Dragon Age is set in. I guess this identity is what people would call "psychological". I have no memories or noema of living a life as a Qunari, but I am a Qunari now in my mind. I have phantom shifts and whatever it is when your mental image of yourself matches your kintype (I can never keep up with new terms these days -_-). There really isn't much to say about my being a Qunari. It just is.

My final awakening occurred sometime in 2020 (I think), when I began obsessing over mannequins after watching Vinny play Hypnagogia. This obsession solidified into an identity. Much like with being a Qunari, as a mannequin I have no name. However, unlike with my Qunari identity I feel that not even my human name should be used to refer to myself as a mannequin. I am truly nameless. Metal and plastic, an object needs no name.

I often imagine myself as a mannequin in my daily life. I am not unliving or immobile. I can move and think, but I cannot feel. This is the life of a sentient (sapient) mannequin. My identity as a mannequin is perhaps slightly unhinged, as anything born of obsession is bound to be, but it is now an undeniable part of myself.

Ghost, 28, Tacoma, WA

"I mostly lurk and like/reblog pictures and art."

Fast Facts: How long have you been a fan?: 9+ years Did you get to see MCR live before this tour?: Yes, I saw them before the breakup in 2013 How many shows on this tour did you attend in total?: 1 Favorite album: I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love Show experience out of 10: 10 Did you cry at your show?: Yes

Which date of the tour did you attend? 10/03/22, Tacoma Dome, Tacoma, WA

When did you get your tickets for your show? Was it a struggle, or were they easy to grab? I got my tickets a few months before, resale on ticketmaster. They were easy but I had to make a decision quick cause the prices were skyrocketing for anything good.

Did you attend with anyone else? Solo

What did you wear? A three cheers shirt, black and red plaid red pants with those suspenders that I just let hang down, doc martens, red and black nail polish, red eye shadow and of COURSE eyeliner specifically with the smudger to give it the authentic 2006 feeling. Even dyed my hair black for it.

Where were your seats? Not in the pit, but on the floor! Section 9, close enough to see the stage but hard to make out the details.

What was your favorite song(s) from the setlist they played at your show? Mama and Vampires Will Never Hurt You

What song were you most hoping to hear? Did you get to hear it? Kill All Your Friends, unfortunately no. But I'm glad it was played on the tour no matter what!

What was your favorite moment from the show? When the crowd parted in a way where I could see the stage and Mikey Way was standing there perfectly framed between all these people in the distance, spotlight on him, holding his hand up towards the crowd. It stood out so much I almost started crying.

What was the most unexpected moment from the show? Gerard Way coming out in the Team Edward shirt for the Double Vampire encore. Being in Washington it felt like both a gift and a troll.

Did you snag any merch? What pieces? TOO MUCH. I got the swarm flag, the beanie hat, the boy zone shirt, the one shirt with the faded demolition lovers, one set of pins, the mikey way mystery shirt and the TYFTV tote bag.

Many fans describe seeing MCR live as feeling like coming home. Did you experience anything like that at your show? Absolutely. The moment where the band goes quiet while the whole arena's singing along to Famous Last Words, you can almost feel everyone's light around you, and it feels incredible and safe.

If you could change one thing about your show experience, what would it be? That I should've brought water with me after getting there so early in the day. And that I wish they played more from Bullets, but VWNHY makes up for the lack of it.

Has your perspective or opinion about the band changed since seeing them on this tour? If so, in what way? I don't think my opinion has changed, but this whole tour has re-awakened the beast that my spotify wrapped will never recover from.

What advice would you give to people seeing My Chemical Romance in the future? Bring water and snacks if you arrive early! Especially if it says it's gonna be hot out! Don't make my mistakes!

Anything we didn't ask that you feel obliged to share or talk about? This is impossible for me to prove but I had a dream of Gerard Way waving around a trans flag two nights before it actually happened. The same show where he walked out as a ghost which has been my online nickname for ages. It's surely a WILD coincidence but I'm going to incorporate into my beliefs that I simply had a brief psychic connection with Gerard Way.

Thanks, Ghost! He can be found at ghost_n_ghoul on Twitter.

——— BASICS !

(PEN)NAME: Iggy

PRONOUNS: they/them

ZODIAC SIGN: virgo

SINGLE / TAKEN: single

——— THREE FACTS !

i’m a mostly femme presenting enby, partially due to being pretty ambiguous to gender binary overall, and the rest is just that a like putting on makeup and frocks. I fully believe I would feel the same way if I were amab.

i’ve never beat a Pokemon game, which is only on my mind because I just started playing HeartGold (on an emulator shhhhhhhh, I like older video games but the industry is really allergic to preservation).

I started drinking tea instead of coffee over the past year, loose leaf only. I have two tea pots, one a basic bitch glass one, the other a small ceramic pot with an owl painted on it.

——— EXPERIENCE !

PLATFORMS USED: tumblr and Discord. Used to RP on Skype, too, and maaaaaany moons ago I played tabletop Vampire: The Masquerade. With dice and everything.

HOW LONG? Been RPing on tumblr since 2013, baybee.

——— MUSE PREFERENCE !

GENDER: Ehhhh....The scales might tip a little closer to male characters, but I’m fine with females.

LEAST FAVOURITE FACE(S): Okay, so this is prolly gonna come off as fiddly and particular, but I don’t have so much an issue with a single face claim, but more the issue of how ones with iconic roles are used. For example, say you want to use Harrison Ford as a face claim. Great, brilliant, he’s got a great face, he contributed to my sexual awakening. When you’re choosing icons, maybe don’t use caps from Star Wars or Indiana Jones, because frankly, you can tell me you chose him for your character, regardless or if they’re OC or canon, and I see Han Solo in your reply, it’s going to pull me out of it, I’m sorry. I wouldn’t call it a dealbreaker, but it just irritates me.

MULTI OR SINGLE: I do it all baby, but I’ll admit the activity is a bit slow on my multi.

——— FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT ! ♡

FLUFF: Big fan, can’t get enough.

ANGST: i like it but I prefer it with a partner I’m in open communication with, I’ve found that otherwise it becomes tragic back story Olympics and I just find that exhausting.

SMUT: i’ll write it with the right partner, you know if we hit it off. I will not write it with someone I have not talked to out of character. I tend to write it mostly on Discord because tumblr’s cuts don’t thread proper anymore. It’s fucking broken and the don’t seem willing or able to fix it. Now I’ll thread it without a cut but I do sometimes feel a bit guilty because I know people don’t always want to see it regardless of how well it’s written. Blame the years and years of slut shaming nonsense that I’ve experienced as an erotica writer in fandom. oh you lot wanna read it but god forbid you respect the person that writes it, no I’m not bitter.

PLOT / MEMES: Bit of both?

stolen from: @mystictricks

tagging: steal from me~

About Me:

Have been playing SSO since 2013 and I have 2 accounts:

Kelly Friendknight (Lifetime) on Spring Star who started my journey with the game but became my side account.

Saga Opalheart (Lifetime) on Carrot Cove, my now main account which I made in 2022 after I wanted to start the game fresh.

Aside from SSO I also play:

Life Makeover | SuitU | HP Magic Awakened | Unsolved

The Sims 4 | Genshin Impact (both occasionally)

Some tidbits about me...

Mainly an SSO blog-thingy, but other stuff may mix in.

Has a love-hate relationship with a good amount of the media I consume. (*is a wannabe critic)

I edit things a lot due to typos & to fill in or remove info, so don't be surprised if my posts look a bit different compared to when I first post them.

Overthinker, may or may not have social anxiety & ADHD.

I don't know how to be a properly functioning adult. Pls help.

Socially Inept™ so I can guarantee that ~90% of all the things I put here come across way more crude than I want them to, so please bare with me because I genuinely am trying my best to be as thorough and tactful as possible!

Since english is not my native language, I might not understand things wholly and can read things completely wrong, so I apologize in advance.

And most importantly:

Since I have horrid people skills, I may not answer if you comment/reblog on my posts due to either feeling too awkward (and the acceptable time window to reply has since passed) or I simply don't know how to reply in the first place, but know that I see, read & appreciate absolutely everything & anything that I get on this account! <3 (unless it's anything negative, ofc lol)

P.S: If anyone is interested, I also have a page for my SSOC Saga on the sso-ocs fandom wiki which you can find here. It's mostly a work-in-progress, so if anyone wants to give pointers on how to make it better I'm all ears!

Bonus Ep Recap: Spooky Season

Hello all. Rina and I share our picks for Spooky Season. These are not in rank order, ya'll.

Millie’s List The Stuff (1985) written and directed by Larry Cohen This movie is chock full of super fun satire. Way ahead of its time - it digs into the stronghold of viral marketing; our obsession with food and our want to fill the void w/a sweet treat, corporations selling their souls to make a buck. Well done Mr. Cohen. Also, if you have Michael Moriarity in your movie it’s gonna be a banger. 1 million corns up. Elvira Mistress of the Dark (1988) Directed by James Signorelli Written by Cassandra Peterson (Elvira, herself), John Paragon, and Sam Egan This movie is right up there with Beetlejuice for me but doesn’t get the same love. It has a lot of the same funny scary energy. Some really great jump scares, gooey monsters, and family drama. Not to mention Elvira is iconic - strong, beautiful and hilarious with some classic ditz. Gotta love her. Also 1 million corns up. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) Directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui Written by Joss Whedon This movie was life changing. Not only was it all the spooky things I love but I was introduced to one of the greatest female superheroes ever. I love the show but this movie has a special place in my heart. I love the early 90’s campiness of it. The love and reverence paid to the valley girl archetype and there’s some really classic Paul Ruebens post-Pee Wee that’s just the best. Rautger Hauer is both menacing and hilarious. All the corns. Babadook (2014); written and directed by Jennifer Kent Ok, like legit I haven’t been this scared since The Ring. I couldn’t sleep for days/maybe weeks after this movie. If you’re afraid of the dark - which I am - this is going to hit you like nothing else. Also, it’s also a “real” movie w/proper themes. It’s a wonderful play on the parent child relationship, especially parents w/neurodiverse kiddos. Amazing. All the corns, as well. The Color out of Space (2019); story by HG Wells directed by Richard Stanley You’ve already heard me talk about my love of this movie. It’s just great. Really gross. Really irreverent. Very scary. It has a lot to say and I’m here for it. You can never go wrong with a Nicholas Cage film. He sells the whole thing. All the corns facing up.

Rina’s List I was initially thinking of the quintessential fall horror movies that remind you of Halloween and the harvest and things like that. For that vibe, my list looked like this: Halloween, Sleepy Hollow, Pumpkinhead, Children of the Corn, Wicker Man. The Pale Blue Eye (2022) would be an honorable mention here (but ultimately a letdown). But I didn’t really feel like my heart was in that list. Although I fucking love Sleepy Hollow, and I definitely watched the Pumpkinhead series too much as a kid (shoutout to it ALWAYS being on on SciFi channel), what I really like to watch when the leaves start to turn and the days start to get shorter are movies that have a classic spooky vibe. What I mean by that is like movies that are foggy, and the character is basically alone. Maybe there’s a cool old creaky mansion (no longer in its prime/spendor), or a remote cabin. There are definitely scenes of the protagonist walking through a crunchy yard, or sparse, foggy woods.

With that in mind, here's my list of (fairly recent?) movie recs for the remainder of the Spooky Szn, in no particular order: The Witch (2015) - Robert Eggers’ full-length writer/directorial debut (sticking to our writer/director theme accidentally?) Also known as the V-Vitch. Maybe the ultimate harvest season, New England, spooky tale? It’s got it all: the unforgiving, remote wilderness; crops failing mysteriously; heavy religious overtones; creepy (and annoying) twins; virginal teen daughter; “is mommy crazy?”; goat. “Similar but different” bonus pick: Stoker (2013); also coming-of-age, teen girl story? The Awakening (2011) This movie is moody as hell! Fog; beautiful manicured grounds; cronchy piles of leaves; spooky boarding school; hollywood hunk Dominic West taking a bath; creepy lil kids; ominous warning from an old lady character; ghost hunting! “Similar but different” bonus pick: The Others (2001); also a story about a woman with a husband who went to (a different) war and wants to protect children? Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) I like this version over the 1973 original – it's a whole different vibe. This one is more, “parents not listening to the kid,” and the original is more, “is mommy crazy?” This one is set at a beautiful, old, Rhode Island mansion. Spooky groundskeeper; precocious little girl; new stepmom vying for approval; preoccupied dad; things going missing; things going bump in the night. “Similar but different” bonus pick: Silent House (2011); also a story where a woman is fixing up an old house to sell it? Deerskin (2019) Guy buys a deerskin jacket and goes off the rails. It was way too much money and he threw in a camcorder. “Similar but different” bonus pick: Creep Crimson Peak (2015) Gorgeous movie, saturated with color. The costumes, the house, the mysterious family secret. A little bit more of a late autumn/early winter movie but it fits the mood.“Similar but different” bonus picks: The Haunting (controversial hot/bad take: I prefer the 1999 over the 1963); also a movie set at a beautiful, haunted house with a dark and dangerous past?

Honorable mention: Not a Movie → The Haunting of Hill House Dishonorable mention: Sucked and was bad → The Lodge We asked ChatGPT to participate, as well. Here's what it said:

Then we were like - hit us w/a bonus.

Nailed it. Honestly, these are all just good. For any season. So, happy watching!
