Susan Sontag, From A diary Entry featured In Reborn: Journals & Notebooks, 1947 - 1963

"died and came back wrong" nah, died and came back an entirely different guy. like actually, that's just some random other dude. where did you get him

Transparents for the chibis below! I'm going to put them separately in a rb chain.

Eiden and Dante first

I just noticed that if you find out the real meaning of Tequila Sunset while on a date with Lilienne and decide to reintroduce yourself as Harry (Disco Elysium spoilers incoming)…

She will call you Harry after the tribunal.

That is such a change from Idiot Doom Spiral, who expressly refuses to call us by our real name, even after we formally introduce ourselves.

In a way, then, I think Lilienne is our hope that we'll get better. A hope for a better future. Idiot Doom Spiral meanwhile, is the representation of what we were. What we can remain. What we can become, if we aren't careful.

And we can choose. We can tell people who we are. Harry, or Tequila Sunset, or we’re not really sure.

So though I must object to much of Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy's ideas, I have to agree with this:

Names can change the reading of a person.

They can change a person.

They can change us. Whether we try to reverse time, or end it, or push forward, despite everything.

Because remember: Our name means something.

It was meant to keep us safe.

@sea-arsonist some very rough elaboration on how 'baby need smoko' happened:

I have to make everything ok really fast

I wanna do a zine about Dante but it's just niche jokes about gym stuff

I have a friend who is very into sumo.

Trying to casually understand sumo is a little like trying to casually understand cricket. But I more or less get the basics just from watching tournaments with her.

But the one part of sumo that will always baffle me, even AFTER it was explained, is the giant macaron...

I legit thought these were photoshoped until I sat down and saw a match myself.

I am going to scream.

crabs are so gentle, they can be so kind. their claws? precise little things, so careful in the sand, so careful with food. they do what they must to live and wave their claws to express their joy to the world for giving so much to them, for giving such kindness to these creatures known as crabs. please be gentle to crabs
