Sometimes, I think everything is hopeless and terrible.
And sometimes I see crowds of people looking up at the sky, tears in their eyes, marveling about how miraculous it is to be alive to see what we're seeing, and I remember that we are worth saving after all

Since coming out of the hospital and learning of the spy, Vincent has been more vigilant of his surroundings. He felt uneasy that someone might still be following him...even in another country. After resting he was a bit more alert, so just to be cautious, he asked Jay if he had any hats to wear to hide his face, especially in the busy town centre.
Some paintings in the building caught Renee's attention and she took some photos. One stood out in particular. It had a plane statue and she could see some people in the background. Armed with weapons.
Transcript:
Renee: Jay do you know what these paintings are of?
Jay: These are of Chestnut Ridge and the plane one…I dunno. Maybe the next town? Or made up?
Renee: Oasis Springs doesn't look like that. I wonder if that's Strangerville.

On my miracle day propaganda again because who else is imagining what would happen if nobody could die and exploring the subsequent global fallout in a way which is both chilling to the core but also so incredibly believable. Antibiotic resistance, disease spread, food shortages, living in a body which has been exploded into pieces. New meanings of life and death under these conditions. What do we owe the dead? What, if anything, do the dead owe the living?
Covid demonstrated the rampant ableism easily deployed and excused in society already - and miracle day explores this to a horrific (and horrifically believable!) extreme. How quick are we to alienate people into new categories of outcasts - and what about when those people are your family, friends, neighbours? How far from reality is the return of concentration camps, and how willing would the general modern population be to turn a blind eye?
Yeah it’s got too many Americans and sunny beaches but it frustrates me how many people point blank refuse to watch it. If it was a standalone series completely separate from torchwood I’m convinced it would have had a much better reception.

i cannot fucking overstate how much i love fcg’s reasoning for helping the gods btw. they don’t want to save them because they believe in them, though they do—they want to save them because, deep down, the purpose they’ve always had, always wanted to have, is to help. he wants to save the gods because they’ve asked for his help, and in turn, he believes that they’ll be able to help more people across exandria. he believes that if he helps, the gods will pay that favor back and help others too. and i just. dear god i love that. fcg recklessly and relentlessly chooses kindness and seems to have come back even more determined to do so after their detour in wildemount and i absolutely cannot wait to see it

imagine for a moment. A world where sunny came out like 15 years earlier. exactly the same show but macdennis was born in the world of fanzines and newletters so all the fanart of them boning each other is done in the weird photorealistic pencil drawn style you get in old fashioned zines and such. where the faces are always nearly there. but not quite right bc they didnt have google images
think about it man!!!!!!!!!! we used to be a real country

It's going to be a long time until I return to making skins if at all, between my health, classwork, and other hobbies that also demand use of my hands (which are complainy bastards) however i do have multiple skin ideas kicking around in my brain and i'll be real with you, most of them just come back to the fact that i am Very Gay and want to present my beloved with Shiny Gifts

feels weird to not have much to post, i feel like i basically disappeared off social media compared to how i used to post but. there is simultaneously so much going on (things that are boring/heavy and not fun to post about) and nothing at all going on (i have not been able to play anything very much and havent been watching anything besides random documentaries i stumble across), leading to me having nothing to say lmao
i did finally write down a bunch of hypixel worldbuilding headcanon junk instead of having it only be word-of-mouth between me and ark lol. only 1700 words, i can do better 👍 it was literally only about admin magic, what exactly it means to "hack," what a server is, and limbo kjgfhk. i might make a big post about the limbo section one day :]
