Thinking about (my version of) Alastor's mother, one of the more than a dozen children of a freed slave and a Choctaw woman, growing up in the miserable conditions of the Indian Territory where her people were forced to, eventually growing up and escaping south in a way that felt like returning home despite the dangers. Trying to pass on the traditions that her own parents taught her to her son while also being intimately aware that the only way he could survive was by hiding everything that made their family what it was.

Sometimes, I kick myself for not playing Curse of Darkness when it came out, maybe together with ShTH. I think that 10 yo me would have loved it to death, between the ID system and the goofy humor, even if I sucked major ass at videogames back then, and nowadays it feels like it’s so hard to find good fan content of the game, between the purges that logically would have happened in 17 years and the popularity of the show. It could have been the perfect childhood comfort game for me, you know?
Then my mind gets flooded with the horrifying mental image of young, innocent Bee, in her grandma’s house at Christmas’ Eve, setting up the PS2 to check it, surrounded by her parents and relatives, and getting greeted by this wonderful character in the very first cutscene:
maybe. maybe it’s best that I waited so long. i don’t think 10 yo me would have appreciated the finer details of this game :V

The surgery DID go well I’m certainly in more pain than when I got my tubes removed but it was a seamless and fun experience and literally everyone there every doctor, nurse, orderly, etc. was a delight they were so kind to me and fun to be around they loved my music and tattoos and were so comforting the one time something went wrong! Also I think it’s funny that it’s just gone I was there for only 5 1/2 hours and then I just got to go home without a uterus lmao. They asked if I was nervous a few times and I was like no I trust you guys I like this hospital I want this thing out of me and I’m feeling great I love getting surgery I find it interesting! 💜✨
