the twenty-one minutes I spend here- all downtime. nothing more.

COR LACUS (latin): "HEART" + "LAKE". you know, i never came to terms with their loss. in the days that followed, i became obsessed with an idea: that the beach is real and they are on it. i would induce cardiac arrest, three minutes at a time, and search for them. day, after day, after day. [...] it is said that everyone's beach is different. so what if everyone's afterlife is different too? i find the thought terrifying.

✒️ ┋ ❝ That's one word for it, ❞ he replies wryly, equal parts annoyed and amused. Deep down, he knows it is unfair to feel frustration, but it doesn't stop it from taking root in his chest, quite the same way that knowing jealousy is illogical doesn't stop it from blooming like weeds in a garden.

Jay is a man of the present, of the here-and-now, and he detests when a moment is ruptured— when the now is forced into the maybe-one-day, the present bullied into a held breath. It isn't Heartman's fault, but he has to blame something.

❝ Never you mind, ❞ he replies, waving him off with a brief sigh, that sharp, studious mind already shifting onto the pragmatics, ❝ did you find anything this time? ❞

Asked knowing full well that the likelihood is low, and yet he's inviting conversation; a chance for his cinephile associate to translate the pictures in his head into real spoken language should he take the opportunity.

❝ ...what is it like? Your Beach? ❞

When he began this routine, Heartman did not expect to stay in the land of the living for so long. It wasn't a plan he put much thought in, but he's already put so much else into it that he can't stop now. His studies have consumed him; ten years ago, he really didn't mind that thought so much. Now, as the chiral network expands and his studies reach stagnation, he wonders what he would've done if he knew he'd still be breathing by the end of it. Heartman bites his tongue as he admits: "No... nothing new."

But he logs the trip anyways, because it's what he's been doing for the past ten years, and if he doesn't then he'll never know if a grand breakthrough is really that or just more of the same.

"My beach is... vast, quite spacious. One could walk for miles and still feel stuck in the same place," he says, as though Jay would ever visit it. "I've yet to find another beach quite like it. Not the vastness, many people have vast beaches." Heartman brings both his hands up, as if to mimic the spaces of the beach. "I liken it to a coronary bypass. My beach is the donor blood vessel, allowing passage from one beach to another. The utility of such a phenomenon is quite understudied given that the only one to use it as such so far is none other than me."

I don't put enough emphasis on the fact rhat heartman is (at least a little) narcissistic and egotistical, particularly when it comes to his area of study. It doesn't help that he's the lead beach scientist either. Before that, he was so sure it was solely his high intellect that got him his job at Bridges (it was really his DOOMs and he filled a niche). While he does occasionally get challenged on his findings + conclusions, he has an air of "I'm the smartest in the room, I'm always thinking of new shit" that surrounds him. His years spent studying the beach and reaching a stagnating point humbled his ass greatly.

[corlacus]

Just watched Fear X (2003) and I understand why it flopped hard but also. Harry's motives relate so well to Heartman I can't help but think that it may have contributed to his initial character inspiration. He's not searching for revenge or retribution, he's searching for closure and company.

nwr going around all "yeah rygos and i had SEX in the BACK OF HIS CAR and we made a movie baby <3 her name is Drive (2011) <3" when what actually happened was he failed to pitch the movie to rygos (because he was sick and high off meds and incoherent the whole time), asked rygos to drive him home (because he actually doesn't know how to drive and lowk even if he did I wouldn't trust him to in that state), then cried when he put music on the radio and proceeded to make even less sense.

sender offers receiver their jacket when the night gets cold!

HE SHIVERS, watching over the tar lake as they wait for the buoys to return with the samples. It's not especially cold out today, but it is a little chilly when the wind blows past. Heartman regrets not packing a thicker coat when they came down here, on account of his condition. Having only been recently revived, his blood is still getting around to the rest of his body. When Millie offers her jacket, he curiously peers over at her. "Hm?"

He thought she'd said something, but instead she was holding her jacket to him. The wind doesn't seem to be affecting her much, so he accepts. "Thank you," he says, wrapping it over his shoulders, pointing a thumbs up in her direction. [❤ +100 LIKES RECEIVED FROM HEARTMAN] "Awfully cold out here today..." And yet, oddly peaceful. He hasn't come out of his lab in a long while; even without his condition, he wouldn't feel all that safe without a trusted companion. This trip for the data samples allegedly lost in the tar lake serves two purposes: to expand their research, and to stretch their legs. Smart Drugs can't do it all for them.

"What do you hope to find in those samples? Must be of more immediate use to you than me, if I had to guess." It's small talk; no matter what one finds, it will somehow be relevant to the other. Heartman's research may be specialized to the beach, but that doesn't mean he's tethered to it exclusively.

god give me strength to stop looking at media illiterate opinions about a movie they haven't seen yet because it's not even out yet

[corlacus]

Anyways. Here's my top recs for NWR works in which something bad happens to a woman or the woman is bad or both:

The Neon Demon (2016) - a mostly-female cast, so it's mostly women who do all the evil stuff </3

Pusher 2 (2004) - a main plot point is Charlotte and how she treats her newborn (which is not great, mind you!)

Copenhagen Cowboy (2023) - the first episode starts with the female lead being exploited by a bunch of women.

What's very fascinating to me about heartman and his kinks or bdsm in general is the fact that he often jumps into something new without being properly prepared for it. This is a habit of his that he's had for a long time, and sometimes it works out, but other times it doesn't. He loves the idea of a lot of different things that would certainly overwhelm him in practice, so any partner should be willing and able to tell him no or be able to put a brake on things until he's calmed down (especially because he's pretty stubborn about stopping). He's the sub asking his dom to shoot him with a gun.
