favorite part of talos principle??????

I procrastinated forever on this ask, sorry. The answer’s kinda sad. But it’s also, like, deeply true and important to me as a person, so.

My mom died at the end of 2013, concluding a truly impressive any% cancer speedrun. Less than 90 days from first symptoms to last. I loved her a lot. It was a bad time.

2014 was the worst year of my life. I became convinced that human consciousness (or at least, my own human consciousness) was not an inherent good. Not an inherent bad, either, just… the nature of the human brain is to want to continue existing, and to be incapable of continuing to exist. It’s not a system that’s designed to function without pain. It’s not a system that’s designed. Consciousness hurts. Being a conscious, physical creature in an unpredictable physical world that has no obligation to make coherent narrative sense hurts.

(I miss my mom. It’s a problem with no solution.)

And then there was this video game. And it had this guy (gender neutral) in it. And this guy was like: you’re so right, bestie. Making sense of existence? That’s a loser’s game. Can’t even get to I think, therefore I am without coming up against some truly gnarly logical conundrums—almost enough to make you wanna invent a big invisible sky-friend who gives you all the answers and reassures you that you’re important and good, right? But that’s stupid. You don’t want to be stupid, do you? You want to be smart. Like me. Smart means you’re better than the people who need happy little answers to all their silly little questions. You don’t need them. You don’t need anybody. That’s the great thing about nothing—it’s so beautifully consistent! When nothing means anything, there are no contradictions. Trying to understand your place in the cosmos—asking the question “I exist; what should I do with that fact?” and expecting to arrive at an actual, functional answer—is a sucker’s game. The only winning move is not to play.

I can’t really explain what it felt like to see my own feelings repeated back to me so clearly, so accurately, and at such length—and for my reaction to my own worldview to be seething fucking hatred. When I started playing The Talos Principle, I was a pessimistic nihilist. I did not perceive myself changing into something different until I was screaming at my keyboard FUCK YOU, my existence has meaning because I CHOOSE to imbue it with meaning and I do not FUCKING CARE if it doesn’t make sense, some things are more important than being flawlessly logically correct and ME HAVING A REASON TO LIVE is ONE OF THEM

(when your internal logic answer to Why should I stay alive? starts out as My life is a precious gift given to me by God and it is not mine to throw away, and then your understanding of the world changes in a way that no longer incorporates an ontologically-existent God, sometimes you wind up with: Why should I stay alive? Answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And that answer really only works as long as nothing terrible happens. It does not hold up well under stress. When you take god away you do have to put something else in its place, and it’s not easy to find something else that can hold up under the weight.)

Like… it would be an oversimplification to say that The Talos Principle made me want to live again. But it wouldn’t be too much of an oversimplification to say TTP forced me to acknowledge that I didn’t currently have a good reason to want to live, and that felt bad, and I owed it to myself to fix it. And that if I could hate this fucking asshole librarian so so much (because he was me), and still feel so much compassion for him by the end of the game, then maybe I could figure out how to feel compassion for myself, too.

Also I really like the puzzles where the solution is to zwoop around all over the place with fans, those are my favorite

#the talos principle #milton library assistant #this is part of the reason I took an extended break from TTP2 #it was bringing up complicated feelings #that are probably worth exploring! but are difficult nonetheless #it’s not the fault of the game that it’s inextricably tied up with how I learned to survive my mother’s death #but that’s what the game means for me and when TTP2 started talking more explicitly about death #it got a little heavier than I was ready to deal with #I will return to it for sure #but not right now #I’m not emotionally ready #(ugh that sounds so fucking weird but it’s also true)

thoughts on Crow's character being reduced into Uldren-but-not-quite? I'm not happy with these past few weeks of dialogue, I feel like suddenly everyone treats Crow as just the guy that did those horrible things, and this week he's also taking responsibility for those actions *he did not take*. sure, his corpse did it, but wasn't a whole year of storyline based around the fact that Crow and Uldren are separate persons? why is every other character acting like none of that ever happened?

I don't think he's really being blamed for those things, it's more that he now has those memories and reacts to them in a distinctly Crow way. He's the type to take the responsibility for those things, even though it wasn't really him, but he remembers it all so in his mind, it's his problem.

It's actually a fairly complicated issue that is unique to Crow: how should Guardians who fully remember their past behave? Crow decided to make amends for things that his "past self" did, even though it's not him, because he remembers it so vividly and it bothers him. This doesn't mean that other people are pushing it on him; they're clearly not. Petra has numerous lines where she tells him that nothing Uldren did is on him, and so do other people. So I'm pretty sure they're not acting like it didn't happen, given that everyone is often reassuring him that he's not being blamed for Uldren.

But for Crow, he remembers doing those things. He didn't do them, but he remembers them and it bothers him. It's probably exceptionally difficult to think of yourself as not that guy when you have that guy's life in your head. I don't think people often consider how this must feel for Crow. He wasn't just told what Uldren did. He was given the full package directly into his head. Uldren's deeds aren't stories to Crow, they're effectively his life. A life of a stranger, but his life nonetheless.

Obviously, they could've gone with not giving him his memories back. But since they did, I think that Crow's behaviour (especially given how compassionate he is) makes sense. He remembers those things as his own, even though they're not his own, but he feels like he should be making amends for them. I think that's the crucial part of his arc; he knows what Uldren did, he acknowledges that it wasn't him, he KNOWS it wasn't him, but nobody else will make those amends and nobody else is working to fix those wrongs, so he feels responsible to do it.

That doesn't mean that the story is suddenly about Crow = Uldren; it's not. It's about Crow's choice. Crow isn't Uldren, but he's choosing not to ignore their connection even if he would be completely accepted if he did ignore it. I think that's what gives Crow's story an element worth exploring.

#destiny 2 #crow #ask #obviously the crucial part here is the narrative decision to give him back his memories #given that they did i think this is a story in this setting worth exploring #how would guardians behave if they had complete and full knowledge of who they were in the past?#we have ana who only learned through stories and documents but doesn't actually remember her own life #and crow is the one who actually fully remembers everything #it's an interesting parallel #but obviously they could've also gone with not giving crow his memories back. i'm not sure what his arc would've looked like then

Proof of Concept (Kaveh/gn!Reader)

So, I read his story leaks, had a legitimate weep over this stupid, beatiful man, then set everything to the side for a moment to crank this out. Originally it was meant to be "ha ha silly dramatics" and then it very quickly evolved into "let's explore kaveh's deep-seated abandonment issues and his skewed perception of his self-worth".

anyway, enjoy, expect more kaveh.

AO3 Link

Kaveh/gn!Reader 3,847 Words - SFW Hurt/Comfort, spiraling internal monologues about self-worth in a relationship, slight codependency, resolved angst, Kaveh cries but never in front of anyone and you can't change my mind.

Kaveh owes more to you than Dori ever could have conjured up as a debt to keep him in shackles. Yet you don’t hold him down, you don’t demand constant recompense. In fact, you never make mention at all that the betterment of his life and mental health stems from you and you alone.

When he moved out of Alhaitham’s home and into yours, Alhaitham had a rare show of concern that to any other onlooker might have been mistaken for cruelty or unnecessary jabs. But Kaveh is well aware of Alhaitham’s thought processes, loathe as he is to admit it, and understands that Alhaitham’s question isn’t posed out of malice, but of a subtle concern for someone that had once been his friend, and now exists in a nebulous in-between.

Are you sure it’s wise to place so much stock in them? Your trust has been misplaced before, don’t put it in the wrong place again.

Perhaps on another day, Kaveh might’ve nearly spit in Alhaitham’s face for questioning both his and your integrity. But there’s something bittersweet about standing in the doorway of this home with the knowledge that it might be his last time here as a resident. Quietly, he shuts the door rather than leaves, and asks, “It must look pathetic, doesn’t it?”

“Unbelievably so, but I figured you wouldn’t welcome such an observation.”

“But you still feel the need to make it.” Kaveh’s back thuds against the door as he leans on it, the last bag of his belongings falling to the tiled floor. “I’ve always done what I think is right. Even at the detriment to myself. So tell me, Alhaitham, what would you have me do?”

“That’s not for me to decide. You and I both know that our ways of thinking are very different.” Alhaitham could have been more roundabout in calling Kaveh an idiot, but the blond appreciates Alhaitham’s candor tonight, nonetheless. “I’m just saying, don’t be blinded by your feelings to the point of tripping into yet another difficult situation. I’m under no obligation to help you again.”

No obligation, but he probably would anyway.

“Well, I won’t haunt your humble doorstep again, in that case.”

Kaveh wouldn’t dream of asking outright, he’d simply be sitting at the breakfast table one morning with red-rimmed eyes and a despondency that Alhaitham would pointedly ignore. They’d fall into the usual routine, and Alhaitham would call back into the house to remind Kaveh of the rent that’s been overdue since the first month Kaveh moved in.

Yes, Kaveh knows his attachment is pathetic. But a lifetime of transient relationships from the most mundane scholar down to his own parents - one more permanent than the other - leaves him with an emptiness in his chest that he’s relished and nurtured up until the very moment you came along and filled it so easily.

Your home is empty when he returns to it later that night. If you’d been here and asked, he’d have told you the trust that he took the long way home to clear his head. And then you’d ask if he spoke with Alhaitham before leaving. Kaveh would say yes, and you’d ask no more questions because if anyone understood the weird, hot-and-cold friendship of antagonism he shares with the Scribe, it would be you.

But you aren’t home, and these questions aren’t exchanged, because he’d been adamant he finish bringing over the last few bits of his belongings while you were still out working. I don’t want to trouble you, Kaveh all but whined when you offered to call out of work for the day, for something that would only take an hour or so at most.

Though, his little detour cost him the majority of that hour, but it’s fine. You weren’t home, you don’t notice the pinched expression on his face as he places the last of his tools in the spare bedroom you offered him to use as his office space. Much more roomy than the corner Alhaitham had afforded him, with a spacious desk you let him pick out himself, because this was his space, in the home you now share.

If requested, he’d drop to his knees before the Dendro Archon herself and profess his love for you. Thoughts of grand exclamations of his affections danced through his mind between memorized ratios for concrete and recollected dimensions of a particular building he’s been commissioned to renovate.

None of those had come to fruition. One morning, when he stayed over at this very house, in the very bed across the hall, you’d rolled over and cracked your eyes open before murmuring your love for him at the time of day when honesty at its most raw. And he’d taken you into his arms all over again, clutching you to his chest and stubbornly refusing to let you go lest you see the tears welling in his eyes.

Kaveh doesn’t cry in front of you, nor anyone else. Bottling it up is just easier. Then he can unpack things later, and truly feel the crushing weight of everything when he’s the only one that will suffer the consequences. He’s the only one that deserves to suffer through them.

It had been a long time since someone claimed any sort of affection for him, platonic or otherwise. At least in any way that felt clear and true. Sure, his mother sends letters from Fontaine, and she closes them with an obligatory sentence about how she loves her son, tucked between sentences about her new husband and how she’s found happiness again.

Why couldn’t it have been in a place I could be, too? He wonders later at night, but then he feels you shift in his arms in the darkness of the room and doesn’t mind so much anymore. If he’d followed her to Fontaine, he never would’ve made friends with Tighnari, who never would have introduced him to you, who never would have allowed him to love with all he has.

Kaveh’s heart had to learn to beat in new ways, to accommodate the affection you provide him, and the room he’s been given to exercise such muscles.

One by one, he places tools on his desk and aligns them carefully according to his muscle memory. In the midst of a bout of inspiration, little time can be wasted on lifting his eyes to find the right pencil, the right scale, the right template. It’s in the midst of a focus similar to that he doesn’t hear the front door open, or quiet steps down the short hallway.

But the corner of his eyes catch you standing in the doorway, watching him quietly with an unreadable expression. When Kaveh gives you his full attention, your mouth blooms into a familiar smile as you step into the room. “Everything go okay? Sorry I couldn’t be around to help.”

“There wasn’t much to help with.” Kaveh waves a hand, swatting away your apologies that are unwarranted. “Besides, I don’t want to-”

“-be trouble, I know.” An exasperated look crosses your face, just for a second. Kaveh’s heart clenches - he’s not fond of seeing anything on your face that isn’t happiness. He’s yet to reach the end of your patience, but everyone has a limit. It takes only one single brick for a load bearing wall to crumble. Tonight especially, he’s come to realize that the structure of his wellbeing has been carefully crafted around you as its foundation.

Kaveh is snapped out of his thoughts as you take his hand in your own. Like surfacing from a still pool of water he hadn’t realized he’d been drowning in, Kaveh takes a sharp breath and looks at you with a smooth mix of astonishment and gratitude. The exasperation is gone, and in its place is worry. “Are you alright? Are you having second thoughts?”

“Never.” Kaveh says a little too forcefully, a little too vehement. It’s not himself he needs to convince of his adamancy for this being a good decision; he could never regret sharing a home with you and building it further. It’s you, who is suddenly looking concerned. Kaveh takes your other hand as well, his fingers lacing with yours until they’re pressed palm-to-palm. “Just silly thoughts in my head that have been plaguing me all day. Nothing for you to worry about, dear, I just need to shake them off.”

“If you’re sure…” You’re not convinced. But you don’t push, and he won’t reveal a thing until he’s ready. He only hopes that his hand won’t be forced in the form of begging you to put up with him a little longer rather than cast him to the side. Swallowing hard, he pushes those thoughts away with vicious force. You’re not leaving him, he’s done nothing wrong, the two of you are in love-

Again, he’s drawn from his head by your fingers squeezing his own comfortingly. “Then, I’ll believe you. I’m gonna make dinner, anything you want in particular? Sounds like you’ve had a hard day.”

“I’m fine with whatever’s easy for you. I’m going to be in here a little longer getting things set up, if you don’t need help.”

A shrug, a quiet agreement, and your lips pressed to his cheek saying more words than you’ve let free verbally. All he needs to do is call your name, and you’d turn right back around and listen to what’s laying heavily on his mind. But how does it go about telling you that what sits on his shoulders with the most weight is the prospect of you growing tired of him, of you realizing that there might be another out there that offers more for you than he could ever hope to?

So, Kaveh lets you go and turns back to his drafting table. Muscle memory or not, he’s realized he’s placed his tools in the wrong order anyway.

---

Kaveh expected things to feel different.

He’s not disappointed - no, he’s actually rather happy about it all. Living with you had been something he fretted over for months before you were the one to bring it up. To be in your presence constantly was a gift for him, and you expressed the same sentiment, but there’s always a part of him gnawing away at his resolve.

Perhaps you’re just being nice, or you don’t feel the need to tell him outright that maybe he’s a little too loud at night while working on scale models. Maybe you don’t find it necessary to reveal your annoyances when Kaveh forgets to wash his coffee cup before leaving in the morning, or when he wakes up before you and rams his shin on the edge of the bed because he doesn’t want to turn any lights on to disturb you.

You’re disturbed anyway, but your smile is nothing but sweet and sympathetic as he stands on one leg and clutches his shin and tries to bite back his swears of both pain and frustration at himself. Honestly, it’s been weeks, he should be used to the layout even before moving in, when he stayed here often enough that it seemed the natural next step.

When he brings up his apologies for all those made-up grievances - his loud tendencies, his infrequent scatterbrained memory in times of hurry, the growing bruise on his shin - you’re purely confused at it all.

“I’m sorry for being so loud the other night.”

“Were you loud? Ah, Alhaitham mentioned something like that. He gave me these little squishy things to put in my ears so I can still sleep, see?”

And that’s one worry that slips away from him with only a few words from you. You’d never been upset in the first place.

“I’ll try to remember to do my dishes before I leave.”

“Oh, your cup? I make myself breakfast and have to do my own dishes anyway. It’s okay if you leave it, I’ll get it for you.”

He still feels a little guilty when he sets the mug next to the sink, and decides on a happy medium where he rinses it out at least. There, now they both can be satisfied with the outcome, he tells himself as he stomps down the doubt beginning to creep in once more.

As you sit with him in the bathroom after his incident with the side of the bed and his shin, you make him sit on the counter so you can observe the growing bruise. Your fingers poke and prod, and while he hisses in discomfort a few times, you’re satisfied that it at least isn’t broken in any way. “You’ll make a full recovery, my good patient.”

“So no amputations? Thank goodness, what a relief.” Kaveh’s head rolls back to really emphasize his appreciation for keeping all his limbs, and also to hide the way his cheeks flush pink and his nerves creep to the surface. You’re not normally awake at this hour, yet here you are kneeling in front of him as you return from the kitchen with an ice pack.

The chill of it pressing to his skin makes him inhale sharply, and your laughter fills the bathroom as you look far too mischievous for that to have been a mistake. “Guess you didn’t hear my warning. Whoops!”

Kaveh knows damn well you hadn’t said a word. Lost in thoughts or not, he’s got enough presence of mind to keep an iota of attention on you - Kaveh is always watching, always on the lookout for your moods, always worried that this next minor slip-up will be the one to make you realize it’s easier to disentangle yourself from him.

Almost everyone else does.

But things fall into a rhythm as he settles into the home you now share with him. Kaveh forgets his keys once, and the next time he finds a spare key tucked into the eaves of the house without a word of admonishment on your part. You come home late from work one evening and he’s made your favorite dinner and washed up the dishes.

And a new project is breaking ground and requiring him to be out later than usual, more often than not. By the time he gets home, you’re fast asleep, leftovers in the fridge for him if he’s hungry. Even if he isn’t, he eats them anyway, if only because you put the effort into thinking of him. Kaveh only hopes you hadn’t been waiting up for him.

Tentatively, he closes the bedroom door and leans on it. You’re curled around his pillow, your face buried in the fabric as you fell asleep while inhaling his scent. His heart clenches, panic creeping in at the thought of you going to bed alone and pining for him while he was miles away working.

Kaveh should have been here. He should have been firm that he wasn’t going to stay late at the site, so he could return home to his partner and ensure that they’re happy, and laughing, and not lonely in the slightest. Precedence should’ve been given to you, because you’ve always given it to him. He’s been unbelievably selfish and self-centered, and only realized it when it was just a little too-

“Kaveh…?” Your voice breaks through, mired with your leftover sleep as you break from a dream and look at him through cracked eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Everything, he wants to say, and it’s my fault.

The light catches on his jaw as he chews his cheek, and your eyes zero in from across the room. A nervous tick, something he does when he’s stalling for time and thinking of an answer that he thinks is going to be the most diplomatic. Yet he’s never needed to be that way with you, he’s supposed, and under your scrutiny he quietly cracks.

The bed dips under him as he disrobes and climbs beneath the sheets. Rather than push you out of his space meant for him to sleep in, he simply winds himself into the empty spaces left amongst your limbs until his chest is pressed to your back in a perfect curve. Nowhere ever feels as right as when he’s pressed against you. The only time his heart feels as if it’s beating at a proper tempo is when it’s perfectly matching yours.

And the thought of losing this, of having ruined things with thoughtless actions makes his lungs feel too shallow to pull in a full breath of air. They shudder with the effort, stinging just as much as his eyes as he buries his face into the crook of your neck and hopes to every Archon listening that you don’t feel the dampness on your skin from his overwhelming feelings.

Kaveh flinches as your hand comes to rest on his forearm winding around your waist. The tips of your fingers trace along his skin, along silvery scars you’ve memorized from that accident so long ago that had been so detrimental to him mentally, rather than physically. Beneath the pads of your fingers, they’re less obtrusive, even after years of smoothing via the passage of time.

Biting his tongue, Kaveh holds his breath to avoid the quake of his body as it attempts to breathe in and then let it all out in a harsh sob. You don’t need this, you don’t need to know why he’s desolate, even if it’s because of you. Desperately, he wants to keep you close, to show that he can do better if you’ll only give him another chance, and another, and another…

“Kaveh, darling, why are you crying?” Your voice has more clarity now; you hadn’t gone back to sleep after he took you into his arms. Kaveh should’ve figured that, and he self-admonishes that it would be awfully difficult to remain asleep if your lover was clinging to you and wetting your skin with their tears.

How does he begin to tell you what he’s feeling? Of all the seminars and lectures he’d been to during his time in the Akademiya, a fair few of them began with a question for the audience. It’s as good a tactic as any, and he pulls away to wet his lips and grimace at the salt gathered there from his tears. Quietly, he poses the question, “Are you going to leave me?”

Anyone else would have responded with an outburst. A demand to explain what he’s talking about, how he’s come to that conclusion, why they’re being accused of that. But a quiet sigh leaves you as your fingers continue their trail along the skin of his arms. It’s not a denial, not at first, and his breath starts to pick up before you adeptly calm him with only a few words.

“I knew something was going on in that pretty head of yours.” You don’t turn to look at him, affording him a bit of privacy when you could’ve easily looked him in the eye and put him on the spot. Kaveh leans heavily against you, burying his face in your neck once more to take in whatever comfort he can glean from you before you let him down. It would only be your right, of course.

Your hand stops, instead wrapping around his wrist, to pull it from your body. When his hand is freed, you lace your fingers together and squeeze hard. The sharp sting makes him inhale, clears his thoughts for just a moment so he can fully listen as you say, “I’ll never leave you, Kaveh. But I need you to tell me what brought this one on.”

The wording is precise; this isn’t the first time. It can be attributed to a myriad of things, but they all can be boiled down to their base level of definition. “I don’t deserve you.”

“Says who? You?” It’s a bit biting, but that’s what he needs right now, he knows. Softness lets him slip away, lets him dig deep into his woes and wrap them tightly to the point of strangulation. Only a firm hand is enough to keep him grounded in the moment, to keep him listening to what you have to say. “Kaveh, there’s only one person who gets to decide who deserves me, and that’s me. And there’s no one else that I’d rather love than you. I’m not going to leave you, even if you want me to. You’re stuck with me.”

Stuck. As if you were the burden, not the one in this relationship that shoulders the majority of burdens. Kaveh lets out a quivering sigh, one that breezes across your skin amongst the wetness left there, chilling to the point of goosebumps. “I love you. I just feel like I don’t give you everything that you need, or deserve. The entire world is just out of my grasp.”

“I feel rather fulfilled without the whole world, thank you.” Sass seeps through, your fingers tightening around his own briefly before you shift back further against him. The gesture emphasizes your adamancy as you say rather plainly, “Excess is just that. I don’t need anything more than what you’re already giving me - your love, and companionship. Seeing you happy is all I want, Kaveh. Are you happy with me?”

“Unbelievably so, that’s why I’m terrified that you’re not. It would be so easy for you to just… cut loose and count your losses-”

“Easy for whom? Certainly not for me, because losing you would be something I’d never fully recover from.” The hand not holding his reaches up to tangle in his hair for a moment, fingers pushing hair behind his ear in a blind, clumsy movement that he leans into on instinct. Your voice is lower and even as you remind him of a simple fact that he often overlooks in his moments of weakness. “I love you. You mean everything to me.”

The tension in his shoulders eases, the tightness of his jaw loosens so he can feel the ache of his teeth from the pressure. He hadn’t realized how tightly he’d been wound until you deftly untangle him with so little effort. The tremble of his voice is unmistakable as a fresh wave of tears come, this time in relief. “I love you, too. So much that it hurts. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“Probably the same as me, which is ‘be a disaster’. We’re better together, Kaveh. There’s nothing you could do that would make me love you any less.”

A sharp whoosh of air leaves you as his arms suddenly wind tight, abandoning your hand in favor of simply clinging to you with all the strength he can muster.

Kaveh expected things to feel different. And they do, bit by bit. It’s a work in progress, a first draft, a proof of concept as the two of you build toward something safe and wonderful. In the morning, he’ll drink his coffee and hold your words close enough that the heat and pressure will burn them into the fibers of his beating heart, meant only for you.

What do you like exploring the most when you write Patrochilles fics? What about them makes you WANT to get them on paper.

Ever since getting this ask, I've had Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs stuck in my head, hah. The refrain goes "they don't love you like I love you." That's probably the short of it.

When I read the Iliad, there was a horrible introduction that basically said Achilles was an arrogant sociopath who didn't love anyone, least of all Patroclus, who he only saw as an extension of his own ego. His grief over Pat's death? No, that was just the temper tantrum of a man who was insulted that his servant was killed because that indicates a weakness on Achilles' part or something. Idk. It was dumb.

I read other scholarly interpretations trying to figure out why the book I read was so different from the one they were talking about, and I eventually landed on "they just don't know him like I do."

Now I think that's true for everyone when it comes to characters. Achilles as you understand him is going to be different than Achilles as I understand him. But that first motivator to write him was partially just spite. They don't get him? That's fine. I do.

So that's Achilles. As for Patroclus, I got hooked on Hades!Pat. I loved his VA, I loved his saltiness, his depression, his little quips. Iliad Patroclus has the best trash talk of the entire book, which is a feat because he doesn't have all that many lines. His kills in the Iliad are also some of the most brutally described, and he has more than twice as many as Diomedes in his one short escapade. So he's witty, but clearly driven to keep up with Achilles when it comes to fighting, and described by everyone in the Iliad as well-liked and gentle.

When I think about the Iliad and Achilles, I hear my thoughts in Patroclus's salty voice.

And as for what I like exploring most, that's a tough one. I feel like my fics have all explored different things. Gold was a fluffy getting together story. ATG was an exploration of how two people who love each other can nonetheless fall apart, and what it looks like to pick yourself up from a codependent relationship like that. That one PWP was just like "what happens when I listen to too much fallout boy." Idk what Sunset is. A hate letter to winter? A study in trying to rationalize loving ancient Greek warriors? It's sure not the comedy I thought it was at the start.

While I don't think Achilles is particularly unlovable, I do think loving Achilles would be a challenge, even for his friends. I think loving any demigod would be, or anyone with a Fate. In writing Patroclus, I often think about what draws them together and what keeps them together, over and over again despite the very real challenges. Achilles is well aware that he's the difficult one in the relationship, but that also leaves room for blind spots when it comes to Patroclus.

That tension between them--Patroclus as ordinary and Achilles the extraordinary, Achilles who chooses their course and Patroclus who has to decide if it's worth it, Patroclus spending ten years of his life waiting for Achilles' fate to catch up to him, and then Pat being the thing that drives him to his death in the end--there is a lot of angst and fluff that can be explored.

Obligatory New Year's Post (Probably Cringey)

This time last year, I was ready to embrace 2022 having had the most difficult year of my life. Bold of me to assume it was magically going to get better just because everyone had to buy a new wall calendar! Because - spoiler alert! - it did not.

2022 was a difficult year for me to say the least. It has also been the most transformative.

When I was at my emotional lowest (which I will not get into publicly), I decided to make a more significant investment in myself; I needed a couple of update patches installed and wasn't going to wait around for that to happen. I've always known myself to get whatever I needed rather than wait for the "right time" or for someone else to do me a favor, so why shouldn't I extend that attitude to the bigger picture? I ended up doing a number of things for the very first time in 2022.

I wore a crop top and leggings in public - but not at the same time, lol. I have always been self-conscious about my body, but at the ripe age of 40, I figured… fuck it. Me and my flabs are a team.

I traveled to and explored a new city by myself. I'm picking a better city, next time, but solo travel is kind of nice.

I went to a concert solo and danced with abandon the entire night.

I got a visible tattoo. The start of a sleeve?? Perhaps.

I officiated a wedding (my sister's). The ceremony was cut short by a thunderstorm, which was a bummer, but hey. They said, "I do"!

I visited the west coast for the first time. It was an impulsive decision to join a friend of mine; I am not the type to randomly hop on a plane, but I'm so glad I did it.

I gave out my number. He never called, but who even is this bold eligible bachelorette over here??

I went axe throwing. The exactly 0% Nordic DNA was evident. I'm going again this week, nonetheless.

I stood on a glass floor 500+ feet in the air. Did I cry? A little. Did it take a few tries? Very yes. But I did it!

I became much more open about being Autistic.

I got back into yoga. Ended up dropping 15 lbs after only making that change. Weird, but I'll take it.

I also got back into houseplants. It's… become a problem.

I climbed onto the roof of a building in the dead of night with my friends. A bunch of 30-40somethings acting like naughty college kids - hell yeah.

I operated a mechanical dog that was probably worth more than my annual salary.

I guest-hosted a podcast (TMBP Episode 200!)

I made several new friends, and I've strengthened a number of my existing relationships - and these people, the VIPs of my life, have been so precious to me. My social life has popped off.

This is a non-exhaustive list that I may or may not add to as I remember things. Things haven't been perfect; I made a lot of mistakes, I didn't always make wise decisions, and I still have a number of personal issues to unpack this year, but I don't consider any of these to be setbacks; they give me direction on what I should do next. I hope to continue on this generally-upward trend and make 2023 a better year than the previous 2-3 have been.

...go, team! I don't know how to end this. ❤️

Eight Tips for some sort of Successful Sale involving Your Used Boat

It's a lot less difficult to buy your own boat than to be able to sell it. I assume that's why a person see a lot more content articles and books concerning buying a boat than about promoting one. To promote your boat will take time, money, persistence, and choosing the best purchaser. Having to promote your boat first, before upgrading to another boat, can put pressure and get frustrating.

If you make a decision to sell your boat yourself, conduct your homework. Search the web for vessels just like yours using the same features, model, and 12 months. Look at employed boat magazines. Exactly what are these boats selling for? What issue are they in? Where are that they located? Draught beer appearing sold privately or perhaps through a yacht broker?

Yacht broker agents can perform more analysis through various internet sites and books this kind of as ABOS? Water Blue Book, BUCï¿½ Used Boat Selling price Guide, and PowerBoat Guide. These books give them an idea of a boat's current value. Typically the websites each uses may tell them exactly what a particular boat people paid in the prior.

Timing will be everything, and charges your boat correctly is what will help it be noticed, then sold, quickly.

3. Take pictures

Boaters love searching at photographs of boats and their parts-the more, the higher. Consider about the types of photos a person like looking with.

On sailboats, take photos involving the companion way, mainsail, and mast. If you could get pictures associated with your boat from your water and/or images of your boat within the water aside from docks, of which will be even better.

Next, acquire inside photos. Just before you do, help to make sure the inside your boat is in good appearance and clean, and this everything you're not necessarily selling with the particular boat beyond the particular way. In some other words, or else marketing that flat display screen TV in your beauty salon, don't have it in your images. Take photos associated with the electronics, in advance cabin, engine room, engines, heads, galley, salon, state rooms, v-berth, and so forth You will also need images of the helm, fly bridge, associate, and mate helm seats. If typically the boat is upon the hard, consider photos of the propellers, rudder, and/or keel.

Take general photos, not present close-ups. Again, search at other vessels for sale and see which of their very own photos you want to look at-guaranteed, your potential buyers will like them also.

4. Market

Where you place your advertisement will determine how much information the content is. Nevertheless, the more parts you can spot your ad, typically the better are your own chances that it will always be seen.

These include Craigslist.org. org, BoatBoss. contendo, and AdPost. apresentando, to name a new few. Other sites advertise no fee, but actually will actually demand you near $350 up front. Therefore , make sure you read the good print first before positioning your boat ad online. Used boat magazines remain the good way to go, but avoid limit you to ultimately simply them. They are harder to update using price changes, pictures, etc.

Your ad should include a full description of your boat, the range of hours on the engine and power generator, as well while dates and records on any key rebuilds. Is https://boatsforsalecumbria.co.uk/ or even raw cool? You could reveal any weaknesses the boat may have, how long you've owned the boat, and, most importantly, why you're offering it.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Review | Mining Machine Shop

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 shows up with flawless timing - perhaps somewhat late - as the best designs cards continue to get increasingly costly. Also, in light of the fact that GPUs continue to sell out even the not many that are sensibly evaluated haven't precisely been worth the sticker price.

Nonetheless, with the RTX 3050, you're not getting a lot of lower execution than the following up Nvidia's setup, the RTX 3060. The RTX 3050 has no issue hitting 60 fps in any 1080p game you toss at it, however it could begin to battle in the most requesting rounds of the age - think Cyberpunk 2077.

While that all sounds great, it's difficult to overlook how much costs have changed age on-age. While a sticker price of AED 1,129 probably won't appear to be high when you're accustomed to seeing designs cards at AED at least 3,000 nowadays, it's still fundamentally more costly than xx50 cards of the past. For example, the GTX 1050 Ti sent off at $139, and the GTX 1650 sent off at just $149.

Thus, probable because of a continuous silicon deficiency that is seeing processing costs rise emphatically across the business, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 is almost twofold the value of its last-age kin.

That extraordinary cost increment accompanies an enormous expansion in execution. Nonetheless, individuals that were expecting to see a designs card at real spending plan costs should continue to stand by - or go to the pre-owned market. We simply trust the RTX 4000 series has something more financial plan cordial, accepting the lack eases up any time soon.

Cost and accessibility

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 is accessible now, beginning at AED 1,129 with costs going up from that point for further developed outsider sheets. We don't know what the reseller's exchange circumstance will resemble once the sheets become accessible, however assuming it's in any way similar to the RTX 3060, there may not be numerous illustrations cards accessible at that beginning cost - rather costs could begin to climb.

For example, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3050 Eagle OC 8G we're exploring here is a fundamental rendition of the designs card. On the off chance that you need something with extravagant RGB lighting and overclocking-accommodating cooling arrangements, you must spend a lot more.

Nvidia isn't making a Founders Edition of the GeForce RTX 3050 - very much as it didn't with the RTX 3060 - which is the significant explanation that designs cards at the low finish of the evaluating scale for this GPU will be unimaginably interesting. Ideally, as the RTX 3050 won't be generally excellent for crypto mining, it won't see huge cost increments after discharge. The truth will come out eventually with that one.

Highlights and chipset

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, very much like the remainder of the RTX 3000 series, is based on Nvidia's Ampere center. In past send-offs in this setup, the upgrades Nvidia made to this center over the last-gen Turing center offered an immense gen-on-gen expansion in execution - both for beam following and standard rasterization.

What's more, the GeForce RTX 3050 is the same. On account of the more modest assembling cycle of Nvidia Ampere, Team Green had the option to fit additional Streaming Multiprocessors without expanding the size of the kick the bucket, up to 20 from 14 on the GTX 1650. Nvidia had the option to actually twofold FP32 centers on every SM, giving the RTX 3050 2,560 CUDA centers, up from 892 on the GTX 1650. This implies it's much more impressive - on paper.

With this expansion in SMs, there's obviously an expansion in power expected to drive the RTX 3050 - however not however much we thought. TGP has simply expanded to 130W over the 75W TGP of the GTX 1650. That implies that the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT consumes way less power, yet as we'll see later, it brings about a significant misfortune in execution.

This is likewise the first xx50 card that is got Nvidia's full RTX include set. This implies this GPU gets both RT centers and Tensor centers, so it's equipped for beam following and DLSS. Both the GTX 1650 and the GTX 1650 Super got barred from these elements in the last age, so it's good to see them advance toward a 'financial plan' illustrations card - particularly DLSS. More current games that help these elements will get a fair lift in execution and quality, so it's a decent component to see even on the low-end RTX GPUs.

Fortunately, Nvidia likewise increased the VRAM on the RTX 3050 to 8GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit transport with 224 GB/s of data transmission. It's not the quickest memory of this age, but rather it ought to keep this designs card battling at 1080p for a surprisingly long time.

Since while it's cool that a reasonable designs card has beam following, that is not the fundamental draw here. DLSS will be undeniably more important for people purchasing this designs card, as it will support execution essentially without affecting visual quality much. It's not free presentation essentially - and you will see a quality drop on Performance Mode, for example - however it extends what the RTX 3050 will be equipped for at 1080p.

You additionally gain admittance to other Nvidia RTX tech, too. Nvidia Reflex will be nothing to joke about for this designs card specifically, as the presentation level it offers is as of now ideal for esports. Nvidia Reflex will upgrade the esports experience further by eliminating input slack. This component is beginning to show up in different games as well - it was declared for God of War at CES 2022, for example - and keeping in mind that it could be pleasant for a solitary player title, it's particularly decent for multiplayer games like Fortnite or Counter-Strike.
