Saturday, I’ll walk for my Master’s degree in Secondary English Education. I actually finished in December, but decided I wanted to walk at the graduation. I had to have a little bit of Phryne with me, and this is what I came up with. I wonder if others have decorated grad caps with MFMM before?
(also, props to my 8-year-old daughter, who totally noticed that I used the MFMM font.)

WIP Whenever

Baldur's gate has had me in a chokehold since the full launch. Am I upset I had to change this since Astarion no longer has the conversation outside the tollhouse because they made a deal with Zariel? Yes. Did I make it work anyways? Yes.
"I've been waiting since the day we met. To have you. To taste you."
Phryne cocked her head to the side, arms crossed over her chest, one eyebrow quirked in skeptical amusement, considering the first time they met he'd tried to attack her with a dagger. "Really? You seemed to disapprove of a lot of my choices."
Astarion had the decency to look ashamed, red eyes glancing downward, a flicker of shock and vulnerability in his gaze--she'd been nothing but good to him and protective of him since they'd met and he had to admit he had been drawn to her like a moth to a flame. "In my experience, help was never freely given--there was always a catch, a price. To see that doesn't need to be the case makes me envious; you were right, you know. I had wished someone had been there to help me. Where was that sense of honor when I needed it? Why couldn't someone like you have been there instead of Cazador?"
He'd been in dire need of help when the gur had attacked him, but the help he'd gotten had enslaved him for two hundred years; Cazador taking advantage of his helpless state. Phryne was still suspicious of how convenient the whole thing was, but let it drop; there was no point in bringing it up again and making him defensive. Not when it was such a nice evening, and he was standing in front of her half naked.
I will tag you all back as well as @hunnybadgerv @foofyschmoofer @schoute @minilev @sinsbymanka @shretl @swaps55 @slothssassin @pookydraws @hazelestelle @eluvisen @liaorban-art @illusivesoul @briarfox13 @darth-salem-emperor-of-earth and anyone else who wants to play!

DID Series Review
Tumblr media
Facts -
Series name: Fractale
Run time: 2011-2011 (11 episodes)
Fiction or Nonfiction: Fiction
Was there a diagnosis of DID? Not explicitly, no
Was the person with DID presented as evil for having DID? No
Major Trigger warning list:
- Heavy Religious Themes (talk of purity and sin and all that)
-Incestuous Sexual Abuse (nonexplicit but heavily implied)
- mild Anime Bullshit (Awkward sexual themes and fanservice of minor characters that all anime seems to have some of)
- Gun violence, blood
- heavy themes of government control and gaslighting
- themes of people going ‘crazy’ and suicidal
- attempted sexual assault
- Clones being created and evaporated as a government experiment (is this a trigger? It might be)
- the implication of purposefully created DID via traumatic experiences
Subjective Review(this is how I felt about it) –
Personal triggering scale from 1 to 10 (1 being not triggering at all, 10 being a badly overwhelming experience that might cause personal harm): it goes from 1-8 for me because the implications are close to home and it did send me down a weird spiral every time I watched the last episode. There’s also some fairly violent scenes
Personal relatability scale from 1 to 10 (1 being unrelatable, 10 being OMG THAT’S ME!): 9
Personal avoidance scale from 1 to 10(1 being eager to get on with it, 10 being impossible to finish): 2
My interpretation of the media(Includes spoilers):
Fractale takes place in a futuristic society that relies entirely on the Fractale System, which is kind-of like the internet + VR capabilities. Most people use avatars, or named in this series Doppels to travel throughout the world while staying stationary themselves elsewhere(?). The logic of it all is both explained throughout the series and also very vague and hard to understand
The story follows Klaine as the male lead who doesn’t use the Fractale system, instead living in a rural little town on his own, away from his parents. He doesn’t seem to care about anyone or anything but collecting tech from the old world(which would be our modern society). His whole life is turned upside-down when our interesting female lead Phryne flies into his life, evidently on the run from rebels trying to capture her. Phryne hides with Klaine and leaves him the next morning with a little pendant; the key to the Fractale system.
Within the pendant is a little girl Doppel named Nessa, who seems to have a both physical and digital form and is full of energy and attachment feelings
Everything about this anime is unoriginal, based heavily on Castle in the Sky I’m guessing, as well as maybe Ready Player One(or maybe Sword Art Online? I can’t say because I haven’t seen that one though). But somehow, by taking these honestly better Ips and mashing them together, they’ve made this incredibly unoriginal and bland piece of art. I couldn’t find anything interesting about Klaine to even root for him really.
A lot of the series is focused around The System Bad But Also The Rebels Bad Because They Are Extreme. So the message is very blurry and poorly portrayed, especially when we have the ending that… Both Are Good Enough Anyway So We Didn’t Change Anything Actually Despite Many People Dying For Both Causes. It’s…. really ambiguous as to what the fuck all this was for? The anime was made with a lot of spite and hatred for the anime industry and you can just tell there’s not a lot of love put into it, unlike other series I’ve watched for these reviews.
Except.. For the portrayal of DID. Which is what we’re here for.
Maybe it’s because of how vague the whole anime is, but it lends enough room for the portrayal of DID to be fairly accurate, which can vary wildly from individual to individual as it is.
To explain shortly, Nessa, the key to the Fractale system, is a dissociated part of Phryne. In fact, that’s explicitly what she is, as revealed in the final episode.
1,000 years ago, when the Fractale System was created, they chose a girl to be the key to rebooting the whole system if it was ever needed, essentially making her God. God was a 16-year-old girl with DID, as a result of her father molesting her. It was within this split  that they based the whole Fractale system’s stability on.
Now Phyrne had been cloned thousands of times to replicate the original God, but to no avail. One of the clones had been raised by one of the temple’s men as her father. He did some beep boop research into the first Phryne and found out about the DID, so he.. Created DID within her by molesting her too. Thus she split Nessa, who took on a physical form in a Doppel.
Throughout the series, we see the two parts interact a little more over time, from Phryne being negligent and cold to this attachment, pure part of herself, them hating eachother and slowly coming to understand and love eachother in a very DID way that’s honestly quite beautiful.
All of this is vastly interesting and I’m so furious they didn’t focus more of the story on Phryne and Nessa!!!! So much was centered around the boring main character guy’s personal conflicts of am I A Rebel Or Not which ULTIMATELY DIDN’T EVEN MATTERRRR AAAAA
Overall, the execution of the anime was really poorly done and honestly boring, but I actually loved the concept of Phryne and Nessa and I really wish there was more of them and their relationship. I’ll go into the DID a little more in the rest of the review.
What they got Right in my opinion:
-          The cause of DID being childhood trauma, in this case incestuous sexual abuse
-          Nessa, although a ‘happy’ part, encapsulates Phryne’s needs for love and attachment, and since she’s dissociated off the whole (and therefore condensed, as parts tend to be), her needs and intense and her reactions are easily triggered
-          Phryne being in a lot of denial and inability to confront the fact that Nessa is part of her
-          Phryne explicitly dissociates multiple times(eyes go blurry and blank, she goes limp, she seemingly looses time and doesn’t have the full awareness of what may be happening)
-          Phryne is notably strong-willed and confident but fawns ‘for the greater good’
-          Nessa and Phrynes relationship can only be described as someone coming to love their younger self in such a… Parts way, you know? Like the accepting that you’re eachother and you also love yourself and eachother and ugh, it’s just beautiful
-          Nessa and Phryne integrate/fuse at the end, and it’s shown later that they’re now one complete person with traits from both of them, just no longer separate
-          Oh, the insecurity and feeling worthless and unlovable from trauma is palpable
-          While I thought the incestuous father was portrayed to be pretty over-the-top, I really appreciated how fucked up and not okay and creepy they portrayed it, rather than going more of one of those anime grey area ways you see sometimes. I feel like he was ridiculous, but you felt the weight of what he was doing reguardless
-          The portrayal of Nessa being a Doppel  really fits into the magic/technology system of the world, where people already tend to have a separation between soul and flesh. It felt like the DID naturally fit in
What they got Wrong in my opinion:
-          Klaine is boring as fuck why do we focus on his inner struggles when theres literally so much more to be focused on around him
-           I couldn’t think of any glaring issues with the DID representation otherwise. Since things are left fairly vague, there wasn’t anything in particularly ‘wrong’ that they latched onto as fact
Would I recommend this to someone with DID to watch?:  Uhhhhhhhhh maybe. I think Phryne and Nessa are somewhat worthwhile, but it can be triggering and otherwise really bland to watch. I’ll just give you a similar vague message as the anime does: sure, whatever

You know when Detective Inspector Jack Robinson ALWAYS has his hair perfectly slicked back? But when things get serious... his hair becomes attractively messy for some reason. You know what I mean?

Mr. Butler’s Phryne
Tumblr media
“Mr. Butler refilled his [Dr. John Wilson’s] glass. This friend of Miss Fisher’s was a war hero. He should have the best that the Fisher ménage had to offer. Who knew how many young men lived because of Dr. John Wilson? And nearly at the cost of himself. It was like Miss Fisher to think of a solution to a sniper in time to save a friend’s life. Bold but not really reckless.. Those ambulances had armoured sides.
Mr. Butler decided he should create another cocktail for her on the morrow. He would call it ‘Phryne’. Sour, certainly, with a lime juice base, perhaps, and... Cointreau? Cherry brandy? Noyau? This would require study.”
Like Mr. Butler, I like mixing and creating cocktails. And like Miss Fisher, I like sipping them, whilst lounging luxuriously. And Ava and I both adore the Melbournite sleuth dearly. In fact, on the very day we met --dear me, was it almost ten years ago?-- on a hot June day, she was watching an episode of the series, with the delightful Essie Davis playing the detective! Thus, it seemed only appropriate we began our (second) six months’ anniversary feast (delayed by a fortnight; but she wasn’t here a fortnight ago) last night with a couple of Mr. Butler’s Phryne!
Ingredients (serves 1): 
8 ice cubes
2 small, ripe limes
1 tablespoon Manuka Honey Syrup
2 teaspoons Cointreau
60 millilitres/2 fluid ounces (4 tablespoons) London Dry Gin
a dash Angostura bitters
Place ice cubes in a shaker.
Thoroughly squeeze the juice of both limes, and pour over the ice. Add Cointreau, Manuka Honey Syrup and Gin. Close shaker tightly, and shake energetically until well-chilled. 
Strain into a coupe glass and add a dash of Angostura bitters.
Repeat, serve your beloved, and toast to happiness with this beautifully sour Mr. Butler’s Phryne! Happy Friday!

I finally organized my Phryne Fisher books by “tv tie-in” and “art” covers. The only book I’m still missing in either format is Blood and Circuses. I’m getting closer to having a full set of both editions. I just wish my art cover ones were all the same size.
