listened to part 1 of threshold oh my god im so excited for the rest of this series.

john’s description of faroe?? faroe offering to put a word in to show arthur the stars?? god that made me so emotional. but those lighter noises have me so nervous for what’s about to hit them. still can’t wait though!

also im happy to get some more physical description of faroe and arthur so i can work on my designs for them…

as i’ve seen others touch on before, i think it would’ve been a very interesting and thematically relevant twist for secretive plotter to have been a woman, or at least someone who isn’t concerned with keeping up a strictly masculine presentation.

this is a version of yjh that has escaped the narrative through sheer willpower, a version that has finally gained the time to reflect on who they are outside of the cycle of the story. this opportunity to reflect was not given to yjh throughout twsa, as he was written into a specific role as its protagonist and made to follow the accompanying script for over a thousand regressions.

before becoming secretive plotter, he’d had little room to consider any options outside of the role of this masculine figure that he’d been written to portray. he’s reached his full potential as a transcendent: going beyond human (and/or constellation) abilities and beyond the narrative alike. it’d be rather fitting for him to have breached past the confines of his masculinity as well.

furthermore, the novel mentions he had complicated feelings about his form as punisher, although it isn’t really delved into. i think it would’ve been fascinating if we had gotten more insight into that. also there’s that one comment regarding punisher that’s along the lines of “she looked more like yjh than yjh himself”, if i remember correctly. there’s so much that could be explored here!!

whenever i listen to tourniquet by evanescence i think about jarthur. in general but also specifically the end of part 20 + coda. the lyrics work so well as what i imagine would’ve been arthur’s state of mind then (“my god” being about john, of course). i have like a whole animatic of this in my head…

favorite word?

oh thats hard. maybe “indubitably”. it’s a very fun word to say!

[cyan0type]

i need to stop thinking of animatic ideas (or just project ideas in general) when im in the middle of working on one. rn im thinking about a john-centric animatic to hurt by nin…

these lyrics in particular come to mind:

I wear this crown of shit

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here
