THE TERROR ▸ 1.03 the ladder

Trying to inflict psychic damage to a tumblr user is like trying to irradiate a cockroach, like it can be done, but the lethal dose is not safe for humans either

[gomezaddamsofficial]

Besides the point, but you could always try physical damage?

You’re right Gomez, bring me the flail

What is the cost of lies? It’s not that we’ll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all. What can we do then? What else is left but to abandon even the hope of truth and content ourselves instead with stories? In these stories, it doesn’t matter who the heroes are. All we want to know is: “Who is to blame?”

“I know death is the fascinating snake under the leaves, sliding and sliding; I know the heart loves him too, can’t turn away, can’t break the spell. Everything wants to enter the slow thickness, aches to be peaceful finally and at any cost. Wants to be stone.”

— Mary Oliver, “Members of the Tribe,” from Dream Work

thinking abt how fucked up steam engine boiler explosions can look. theyre just pipes under there

gives me the idea of a ghost/monster engine that looks normal, albeit a bit battered, only to swing their smokebox door open and a myriad of pipes come bursting out like fucked up tentacles

You are allowed to grieve the person you could have been if life had been gentler with you.

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

Alpine, CA

Built in 1979

"The Davidson Residence designed by architect Robert Thiele and artist James Hubbell, and hand-built by the homeowners, is one of only a handful of structures to see the designers' (as Earth Form Builder) visions fully realized. Singular in its vision and execution, the home is as much a respite from urbanity as a chapel to the surrounding native flora and seasonal stream."
