Waystation Requiem tonight!

My voice is cartoonish in a new fresh way as my cold has morphed my cockney victorian child voice into something else.

In Rumors section, A bunch of edits to the Library secrets rumor did occur. Also Ivory has now fought 100 bandits, and with her mind or some shit. Thanks Alexis.

Knightly has good perception and caught Ivory trying to eavesdrop. 4th years keep changing subjects.

While riding in a bus for the first time- Ivory learned how to thumb wrestle from Ed.

Celestine and other first years are planning a holiday get together and gift exchange. Ivory keeps doing sneaky things. Bought Thieves Tools. Lavinia is looking for her lost wedding ring set at antique store.

Christopher really is so very 18 [why he 18 though]; and doesn't want to be called Mister. Please do not call him mister. Just drop the mister please. His yellow tiefling boyfriend is in the store and I am 👀👀👀

I'm extremely here for the Alexis Celestine conversations >:3c More Alexis lore thank you!!!! Apparently she hadent been socialized at all growing up? Only knew her dad??? And she has a cool dark ominous bird scar/mark (PHEONIX!?)

Professor Mala (sp?) Is being a little sus (planning to disappear into backroom for 20 minutes) and Christopher reacted weirdly, and bless Miguel is going to eavesdrop >:))))

Petrichor: I'm forever grateful you are not me. Uzara and I were just so similar, I often expect those around me are falling to the same demons. That is absolutely on me, forgetting that not everyone is like me and her.

Trying something called rambling about my dnd characters here like I would on twitter

I'm finishing up rereading the Great Gatsby for an annotated version for a friend. And - let's face it- most of it is me lamenting over my OC Petrichor who is basically just if Gatsby were a better simp and actually more of a murderer about it.

Petrichor KNEW F. Scott Fitzgerald. He approached him a couple times and eventually it did end with bloodying the fucker up.

And yeah- It was mostly the disrespect toward women that did it, but the fact that Petrichor felt both called out and misrepresented in "The Great Gatsby" surely had some hand in it too.

And January 2021 Petrichor learns the Great Gatsby is in the public domain, and in one last FUCK YOU to Francis, Petrichor decides to do a little indulgent rewrite for therapy's sake.

But yeah, Men being super shitty to women on principle and it causing all the problems in the Great Gatsby,

I can see it being in Petrichor's remake it's extremely women's rights to the point that any man is just so grateful for even the worst treatment. Women shouldnt have to be subservient perfect little wives to be cherished and cared for. They shouldnt be trapped and toyed with, and made to suffer for men's follies and obsessions.

Marital and romantic belonging as well as secrecy are absolutely something that haunts Petrichor so he'd not do completely away with the concept - but I do think there's going to be more to it than, a woman can't love two men, the two men would never allow it.

To top it all off, I do think Petrichor is going to lean into the Eyes of Dr T J Eckleberg being more of an eldritch presence upon the world. Because fixations but also the belief that an old god might be hovering in interest over human trauma and suffering is just tantalizing on its own.
