OKAY OKAY jayvik post-canon thread fic. TW: preg, suicidal ideation

Viktor wakes up at the top of the Hexgates next to a sleeping Jayce. It’s a day after the battle. He looks mostly human. Everything hits him at once—the shock of being alive, the guilt, his power and its loss, and Jayce. 1/?

PART THREE of the jayvik thread fic because part two was getting so long it was stressing me out. Again, tags for trans Jayce, cis Viktor, mentions of unplanned pregnancy, miscarriage scare. This is the final part!!

Dear artists, it's hard avoiding wondering if what we do is irrelevant or an insult when it's harsh, scary, dangerous & violent out there, but one thing is always true as stone: someone will need what you do, someone won't, & you won't know the difference. Err on the side of hope. Create if u can.

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube.
In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson.

I am leisurely making my way through Ursula Le Guin’s “Always Coming Home” and I came across a poem I just have to share.

The ending especially slaps.

ARTISTS

Written on a white plaster wall in the workroom of the Oak Society in Telina-na.

What do they do,
the singers, tale-writers, dancers, painters, shapers, makers?
They go there with empty hands, into the gap between.
They come back with things in their hands.
They go silent and come back with words, with tunes.
They go into confusion and come back with patterns.
They go limping and weeping, ugly and frightened, and come back with the wings of the redwing hawk, the eyes of the mountain lion.
That is where they live, where they get their breath: there, in the gap between, the empty place.
Where do the mysterious artists live?
There, in the gap between.
Their hands are the hinge.
No one else can breathe there.
They are beyond praise.
The ordinary artists
use patience, passion, skill, work and returning to work, judgment, proportion, intellect, purpose,
indifference, obstinacy, delight in tools, delight, and with these as their way they approach the gap, the hub, approaching in circles, in gyres, like the buzzard, looking down, watching, like the coyote, watching.
They look to the center, they turn on the center, they describe the center, though they cannot live there.
They deserve praise.
There are people who call themselves artists who compete with each other for praise.
They think the center is a stuffed gut, and that shitting is working.
They are what the buzzard and the coyote ate for breakfast yesterday.

@brunodias.bsky.social

many people are asking "how do I get ready for pathologic 3". there are many possible starting points, but I suggest the following playing order:

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Pale Fire
The hbomb video about Pathologic 2
2-3 hours scrolling an archive of april 2020 tweets
Pathologic: The Marble Nest
A no-commentary let's play of Pathologic Classic HD (Changeling route only)
Bulgakov's /Heart of a Dog/
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead again
Pathologic 2

i forgot #pathologic 3 is releasing tmw...?! reposting old 2023 art for the occasion

An illustration of Daniil Dankovsky from Pathologic, sitting with a worried face, looking at a Shmowder. The illustration style heavily utilises textured brushes and bold red and blue colours.
