Fic Rec: Ripples and Currents of Memory - Pre Game Theory, Augus, Fae Tales

Have you ever wanted to read a really awesome interstitial about how Augus went from completely unstable villain in the Shadows and Light universe, to someone who was very nearly sane again by the time Gwyn began visiting him in his cell in Game Theory?

DarkMK has written an awesome fic called Ripples and Currents of Memory that explores Augus’ six months in the cell before Gwyn came, and you should all go read it. :D

idk, for me ‘girls and monsters’ is about taking back space that i gave up. it’s like a way to be grotesque - to be vocal and colourful and enthusiastic about something which isn’t pretty and polite. and maybe there’s a phenomenon of leaning into something to sort of over-correct. but i don’t mind a little over-correcting if it helps me get out of this smaller person suit i decided sometime while i was growing up that i needed to fit into.

it’s not news to anyone i know but female desire and female fantasy and especially that which is seen as grotesque or morally wrong in some way is very much an attempt to start expressing again and, in doing so, to take back power. i think of myself as someone who makes efforts to communicate clearly and generously. but i’m aware that there’s parts of myself that i’ve been holding back for years. i don’t even know what they are anymore (not consciously at least) because part of holding them back is about disguising and hiding them from myself (even though for so long i thought i was the kind of person who was incapable of doing that). if you really accepted those parts then you’d be able to look at them. and if you could look at them then you would express them.

so maybe it’s messy and unsettling. but it’s like we’ve come to value messiness as the closest thing we have to release. as a way of trying to be ourselves again. our full selves. i don’t quite know how to do that right now. it’s okay though. 

you don’t have to figure everything out. (not directly related i know but that sentiment always reminds me of charmed life and how everything just sort of figures itself out at the end without cat having to critically address every individual problem facing him - all of which are symptoms, i suppose, rather than the true conflict). 

you just have to keep letting little parts of you get bigger and bigger; hold back less and less.

love how every time i see some of my dad's friends (all into music, my dad was in a few bands back in the day), they always talk about music

usually what instruments i can play/want to play

and I (being a quick learner) go "i'm pretty good at ukulele, did piano for a year or two a while ago and am learning guitar though i'm not too serious abt it"

and they all go "yep, you're your dad's kid."

same with my mum's friends and going "hows school" and i flex how i got 6s-8s in yr 9 (if you know british grading you know thats weirdly good bc yr 9s are meant to get 3s-5s) and they go "yep, you're your mum's kid"

On today's post about something everyone knows but I have to keep repeating anyway: grief sucks. It's about a year and a half since my friend passed and it will still randomly hit me real bad

Just in case you can see the internet from wherever you are, bubs: I miss you. Also get out of the internet honestly, it's not good for you, go haunt some people
