I only missed the last part
The last scene was incomplete
I want to see you
‘Maybe,’ you said; that cruel dream
Tears up my heart
A supporting actor’s love

Just now, I learned my lesson
Can you still remember
That season?
So painful it was beautiful

Like a hypnotist act
My lips were moving
I really want to see you
There’s just the usual loneliness
In this sentimental story
A supporting actor’s love

I could easily erase myself away
But I’m still
Tied up in your garden
Just howling like a dog

Just now, I learned my lesson
Can you still remember
That season?
So painful it was beautiful

I’m still
Tied up in your garden
Like a dog

@bajax I remember coming across the song that inspired me to redesign f0x and make the Mekka universe. Spotify had decided to autoplay some related tracks and landed me on this

@bajax I'm fiddling around with f0x's backstory a bit. But I want it to be slice of life if it were about a group of savvy criminals in a post-apocalyptic setting with futuristic tech n' 00's nostalgia. f0x's design is done basically, with a robotic left arm that she lost due to being haunted by a yako which gave her the cwd/rabies-ish disease that made her a criminal anyway.

@bajax I don't want to go the corpo bad guys route, pretty much because it represents reality and has therefore been done 100+10 times. I think its plot motivation is going to be something really stupid and mundane, but because it's set in a not-so usual world it'll become odd naturally. It's the world where I keep all my darlings.

@f0x so you looking to make something more episodic or character driven rather than having any kind of an overarching antagonist?

@bajax yeah. Definitely a character driven story. Arette "3lli3" L'Antima is some winged girl who fell from a floating island during a thunderstorm, having had both of her legs replaced by f0x's mad scientist friend who helped upgrade her arm, Roan Smythe n' such.

@bajax oh i forgot to tie that thought up. Basically her arc is she needs to return to the floating island without being seen as a winged lass because obviously that'd draw attention to her otherwise secret-only-found-in-legends countryside.

@f0x sounds a lot like a setting I used to have... but it was more inspired by works in the vein of biomega and Blame! That kind of cyberpunk gritty detail and gaudiness is top tier

@bajax I miss "engineer porn". I need more realistic machinery in art in general.

@bajax @f0x ever seen old school botanist etc drawings of the specimens they were studying? You used to have to learn to draw because you weren't just taking pictures of absolutely everything

@pwm @f0x yeah there's some kind of odd aura to those old illustrations. something that makes them seem more-real-than-real if that makes any sense (I'm extremely fucking high rn lol)

@pwm @bajax @f0x

I would suggest that learning to draw is still very useful in physics and chemistry although one need not draw with as much detail as people used to back in the past

@pwm @f0x @shortstories vulnerable narcissism-- somehow I expected more you to be more a madonna-helper complex from you

@bajax @f0x @shortstories you mean madonna-whore complex?
Also no, most things are not that complex once you break them into their constituent parts. I've only recently reached this hypothesis/theory and am still figuring out what to do about it.

@bajax @f0x @shortstories I'm trying not to reach any grim conclusions about my relationship to women. Realizations about the self have been plenty grim as is without throwing that into the mix

@ForbiddenDreamer @bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories the mirror dimension is parallel and does not intersect. Whatever is there cannot be, and whatever is here must.

@bajax @Doll @f0x @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer It doesn't but it's geometric: the normal line from one to the other intersects at an analogous point as it is orthogonal to both

@ForbiddenDreamer @bajax @pwm @Doll @shortstories You're right, my bad. When you post it's generally good advice to either not look or think about it too much.

@bajax @pwm @Doll @f0x @shortstories @ForbiddenDreamer the scene is rendered twice and stencil masked to create the illusion of reflection
