[containment] rp chatter & book quotes
BlueLias
bc you've noticed by now that i'll otherwise distribute them throughout everyones plurks lol
BlueLias
you're welcome to mute, i'll tag when it's anything important or refer u over here
BlueLias
on a sidenote, if anyone wants to, have my Goodreads:
Elyn
BlueLias
just perhaps give a warning before sending a friending there, so i know who u are. also fair warning that i read... a lot. like ~150 books per year
BlueLias
there'll also most likely show up spoilers up in here, albeit i try and keep them to a minimum. mostly for Sigruds books and given my current to-read pile very unlikely for anything published in the past year XD
BlueLias
ᴹᴼᴿᴳᴬᴺᴱ not too much around of him and Hild sadly

me when a man scares my frogs away
BlueLias

ᴹᴼᴿᴳᴬᴺᴱ
Would sig give miles safely advice
Usagi
frog scarer...
BlueLias
obv advice is going to be given!
BlueLias
easier to give it than to listen to any
Usagi
SIGRUD NO-
BlueLias
gotta make him friends to drag him out of the wilderness lol
Usagi
ye....
BlueLias
to the Annihilation pals, consider reading more of Vandermeer. Dead Astronauts got a cute blue fox

BlueLias
also Acceptance, the last book in the trilogy, got notes from the Lighthouse Keeper and his slow spiral into weird horror
BlueLias
tho Annihilation is of them all the one that at least got a somewhat linear, coherent plot. it goes decidedly more... lovecraftian (?) in others. meanings like the stars you only see out of the corner of your eyes

Usagi
BlueLias
and for some lighter reading, i can highly recommend his collection of weird horror short-stories
BlueLias
BlueLias
it has a whole lotta pages, but it shows the whole genre evolving, starting in 1908 till today
Usagi
ooo
ᴹᴼᴿᴳᴬᴺᴱ
I think sig giving advice to miles would be good considering he’s about to develop the obsession trait
BlueLias
giving advice on "surviving" is about the one thing he considers himself good at
BlueLias
for all that it'll be too honest on the bad parts
ᴹᴼᴿᴳᴬᴺᴱ
That’s fine and good maybe??

BlueLias
no trauma over Signe involved at all
Usagi

alan wake voice "oh mood"
BlueLias
did alan also go and brutally murder a bunch of innocents as reaction
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
well, they'd been turned into monsters but he has technically killed a bunch of innocent people and does often struggle with reality
BlueLias
nope, actual young soldiers who just happened to be there
BlueLias
it... mustve looked like a scene outa a horror movie. blood and gore everywhere. not that sigrud was all too aware of what he was doing
Ⓘⓝⓘⓣⓘⓐⓣⓘⓞⓝ
that would be a no then aha
Usagi
:']
Usagi
on the one hand im on the opposite side eof that muse scale on the other [reira voice] well you didn't kill a whole planet, so that's good :0
BlueLias
"abominably ravaged and mutilated" was the words used
Usagi
(Reira's canon ends with her- AND SHE WAS 7 MIND YOU, I STILL HATE ARC-V FOR THIS?? wow lets take a literal war victim child who just started developing a sense of identity and throw her into self sacrifice sure ok- but it ends with her basically locking a whole person-turned-eldritch monster into her soul and hitting 'Reset' to stop 'm)
Usagi
(THIS THING HAD KINDA ERADICATED HUMANITY ONCE BEFORE ALREADY SO, time to stop That)
Usagi
sometimes you get so angry at people you just Murder Everything
BlueLias
its a pattern with Sigrud, his reaction to grief is just... murder
BlueLias
not even anger, there's very little that can get him upset anymore
Usagi
u_u
BlueLias
and then just having to go on anyways bc something else needs fixing
Usagi
wuaaaaaagh
BlueLias
cue his current problem of not knowing what to do with peace and the idea of a normal future
Usagi
ooof I bet
BlueLias
Steven did something when he told him he could just get rid off the furniture if he doesnt know what to use it for XD
Usagi
fcvkMHNvjfhg oh my gosh
BlueLias
he has a table, two chairs and a bedroll on the ground, its fine
Usagi
sir,
Usagi
sir you need some plants i think
BlueLias
miles is painting his walls at least
ᴹᴼᴿᴳᴬᴺᴱ
its true
BlueLias
adorable kid got plenty of empty wall to work with
Usagi
:'0
BlueLias
i'm also bemused how Miles just skipped over the fact that to sigrud, winter means no sun for 2-4 months
Usagi
its fine, the north has it rough or smth
BlueLias

Usagi
bless him tbh,
Usagi
also me: this is what people think canadians are like but actually im a wuss sorry
Usagi
(i can't even drink :[ i have the rare unfortunate curse of an allergy...)
BlueLias
yeah, that was after he went diving after Urav the punisher in the frozen-over Solda. which, at almost a mile wide, he deemed "not big"
BlueLias
fully undressed too
Usagi
i amend my statement to 'not all canadians but probably my dad' which is alarming in hindsight
Usagi
(he did a Big Cold Swim and I am still in awe whenever I think of it)
BlueLias
my city has a tradition of new years eve swimming in the river, snow or not
