Listen, I don’t even go here but this made me feel all my feelings

I DON’T GO HERE EITHER lol These are characters from a video game I not only didn’t play, but can’t really stand to watch the playthroughs of (sorry guys the voice actors are like– in a cardboard box seeing the script for the first time? and I am Not Wild about the graphics either), but– the king was assassinated, his bastard daughter was rescued by his former special forces commander, and this is the aftermath, and I know that much of the themes of the books and to an extent the games are about how leadership corrupts people and how horrible war is and how it destroys everything forever BUT

I just want an old soldier to be able to find some peace and use the bitter lessons he learned to make it a little easier on the next generation, maybe. I want to instead take away the lesson that even things that have been ruined aren’t necessarily irrevocably turned to evil, and that good things can grow from ruins, and that even a hard man who did hard and brutal war things can repent and redeem himself and do better. like… an ACTUAL redemption kind of deal, where you SEE what you did wrong and you LOOK AT IT and you make a CONSCIOUS choice to FIX what you can and DO BETTER.

Anyway I care because I do like the game that was a sequel to this one, and there’s a rich vein of characterization to tap into, but the sequel really missed out on like actually addressing anything the middle game brought up and anyway I want to fix it all. (Your picture was not posted)

i think people in the middle ages acutally did know how to make photorealistic drawings they just chose not to because it’s funnier to draw some fucked up creature

they actually did make photorealistic drawings things just looked different back then (Your picture was not posted)

made it to the farm, another 300-mile drive boringly down. i sang most of the way, i should practice singing anyway. for some reason i’m super into Gillian Welch’s cover of “I’ll Go On Downtown”, which isn’t like, germane to my life in any way nor is it particularly ideal for my range (it’s not not either), I just for some reason like it a lot. Oh I tell everybody I’ve nothin to hide while I keep the Devil locked deep down inside

Kiddo was in the creek when I arrived, so I unloaded the car and went down and looked and– I swear she’s grown another foot since I last saw her, she’s like six fuckign feet tall in the last two weeks, what the fuck. Rude, child, rude.

Did I brainstorm stuff in the car? Don’t remember. This last two weeks went by like it was somebody else. Oof.

I gotta get my shit together and remember who I am here. Don’t remember what i wanted to write here now. Doesn’t matter, probably. (Your picture was not posted)
