Redemption arc not because you did something bad but because of the years you spent not doing something good

When the thing the character needs to be redeemed from is passivity >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Brothers of the Head (2005) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Barry Howe/Tom Howe Additional Tags: Conjoined Twins, Twins, Twincest, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Sibling Incest, Hand Jobs, Anal Sex, Unhealthy Relationships

Notes: There's a level of dubious consent and coercion in this story, but it doesn't feel like it fits neatly into an archive warning. Summary:

Tom and Barry Howe are conjoined twins, until they undergo a surgical procedure that separates them.

“I made Robbie promise, if you ever came back, if you ever visited…”

“I made her promise too. How come she kept her one to you and not to me?”

“Guess she loves me more.”

Tom sidles up next to his right, where he always was until two and a half years back, takes his arm, tries to move him, but Barry refuses to budge, to turn and look.

“Let go.”

“Where’ve you been, Barry?” Tom asks, quiet, so only Barry could hear even if the room wasn’t empty save for the two of them.

They weren’t lying when they said that as an adult you have to fight for your life to practice your hobbies

They also weren’t lying when they said that when you fail to do so your soul shrivels up inside your body and dies

I remember reading a post thread of advice on how to realistically write dialogue for characters who aren't fluent in a language, in which someone confidently criticised the scene in Star Trek Deep Space Nine where Nog says "The beach is transparent" (instead of "the coast is clear"), claiming it was unrealistic because nobody learning English as a secondary language would make that mistake. I didn't really think anything of it at the time, but I've found while hosting international students that it's actually fairly accurate. I've had someone tell me they go to "secret school" when they meant "private school", for example, or been greeted with "good today" instead of "good day". I think any English speaker who learns a second language does it, too – if you don't know the correct word, you reach for the closest word possible and hope you'll get your meaning across, no matter what language you're speaking. It's also quite likely that words get mixed up because their meanings have overlap (see private -> secret), and if you haven't grown up navigating those nuances it's hard to remember them WHILE ALSO speaking a language you don't use every day. In a similar vein, an English speaker speaking French might use "mademoiselle" to refer to an older woman in the same way they would use "Miss" in English*, even though mademoiselle has different connotations in French language and culture. So while "the beach is transparent" is probably not realistic in that it was played up for comedy, the concept underpinning it is certainly plausible.

*this was a mistake I and other classmates often made in French class because our school was big on referring to teachers as "miss" or "sir", so we tended to default to "mademoiselle" because it's translated as "miss", but it actually operates a bit differently!

Just once I would like to be able to sit down and write without ending up in the most obscure Google deep dive on like the security ranking metrics of safes or details on Russian Orthodox funeral processions or polaroid camera models with a self timer function that existed in 2015. Just one time.

think that everyone has their own personal theme in life

[notesbyash]

every nolan film is about time. it winds its way through his filmography; it is fractured in memento, distorted in inception, expanded in interstellar, reversed in tenet.

every hopper painting is about stillness. it is found in every brushstroke; at dusk in automat, at dawn in morning sun, at noon in office in a small city, at night in nighthawks.

i have a friend who orbits ideas of power, another who delights in the prosaic and the plain. one weaves around systems and structures, another returns always to wonder at the sea.

there are other elements of course - our lives cannot be measured by single concepts no matter how large they may be - but time and again i think we return to the things that fascinate, the things that intrigue, the things we cannot quite tear ourselves away from. the themes of our lives.
