i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.
the way ppl have designated cuddling as a purely romantic thing and is weird outside of that context has done widespread damage to our pack animal nature
“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.

looking at the little fragile scraps of your life, trying to arrange them into the fabric of dragonfly wings. you'd rather be icarus, right? that's why you cry at the hymn. you want so badly out of this tower - good lord. you'd burn just for the chance for it.
something similar happens during part 28!
there’s a part where kayne yells at john and every time i hear it, it sounds like arthur. arthur sounds like kayne as he’s lost in grief as kayne sounds like arthur in billowing anger.
I know this is simply because Malevolent is all voiced by Harlan, but I've rewinded this part in Part 49 maybe 5 times. Right after John reads the letter. Arthur's laugh sounds just like Kayne's.
It's so specific because I thought it was an accident but this isn't what Arthur's laugh sounds like, he has a warmer laugh, he holds it in his nose and resonance, even when it's an uncontained manic laugh like the ones in the faerie ring, those are still usually more of a chest sound. Kayne's is in the back of his throat and less controlled.
It doesn't nessecarily mean anything, but it is really cool to hear a bit of Kayne in Arthur's voice when he's so utterly lost with grief for himself.
yeah i use this pro gamer technique called "hitting every single button frantically with my little raccoon hands until something happens" you probably wouldn't get it it's really advanced
