── “Chekhov's gun (Чеховское ружьё): a dramatic principle that suggests that details within a story or play will contribute to the overall narrative.”

The story of when the wicked witch of the haunted forest goes on a hunt, bringing with her a rifle that is bound to go off. (AKA Celine's nights in the DAMIEN-loop when ex-husband hunting season was announced. ────────── Revenge is always predestined, a necessary heartbeat. If it is a good story, it must be fulfilled, because every good story is a promise kept, like ‘till death do us part’ or ‘I’ll protect you’.

“How many light bulbs would it take to replace the stars?” “I've thought it over. My answer is that I don't need any. You don't have to replace the stars. Form a different constellation with them, cover one of your eyes and watch them suddenly jump to a new place. But replace them completely? (...) We wouldn't be ourselves then.”

A body immersed in fluid loses weight by an amount equal to that of the fluid displaced.

── date of publication: 2026-02-08 ── No, I haven't been able to watch the movie yet. Yes, this is me coping with it, also manifesting screenings in this hellhole. Hence the title's language.

Three winters arose the night when an eight-year-old boy (who shouldn’t have been eight anymore) wound up at the House of the Hearth, welcomed by the orphans and Father’s warm hospitality. Three winters arose; and flames. “Then what's the point of fairy tales?” / “To question them.” “She should have burn it all to the ground.”

── date of publication: 2026-06-01 ── My first Genshin fic, yippie! In light of this, please bear with me if it’s still a bit rough around the edges here and there. I came up with the idea last December, and then the canon proved me right on a few points. (And also made me depressed and cry, but I'm okay now, it's never Dottover!)

── Service announcement: I tried to finish my first ever Genshin Impact fic before the 6.6 update drops, because it's mainly about a Dottore segment and burning stuff. So relevant.

Then today's preload happened, and I'm already bawling my eyes out before 8am. I'm really not sure I'll be able to finish writing this in the near future.

Oh well. Here, have a snippet. And send me hugs.

Until midnight, until three in the morning, until nine in the morning seven minutes count down. So, so many grains of sand. Two things are essential for creation. One is time, the other is a name. “Memento,” Mori called out timidly, as one would recall a dawning memory.  “Mori!” Memento nodded, their eyes shining.

── When you think you're finally out of the mental hell paved with imposter syndrome, semi-burnout and self-sabotage, and you manage to gather just enough focus and a sprinkle energy and the necessary courage to sit down and write at least one of your silly little ideas, lalala...

That is when life kicks you back into the everyday grinder, and all work-related issues find you at once. Of course.

Scene behind the scenes: one of Mark's costume accessories is a ring on his little finger. Of course, like everything else in the actor's world, that ring has its own story. ────────── “I won't thank you, darling, I’m better than that.” He looks once more at the ring on his pinky. “All I can offer you is this.” He presses a tender kiss onto the ruby. “Fuck you.” So soft, so sincere, like a wedding vow.
