One of the lines that caught my eye in Emergence was "So tell me what you meant by 'living past your half life'?" In chemistry, a "half life" is the time it takes for a substance to decay to half of its original mass.
Further, half lives are also prominent in physics, specifically, nuclear physics. It has the same definition—amount of time taken for a nuclei to half itself—but is, as its name suggests, focused on how much useful energy is produced via the decomposition.
This also links in with the later lyrics of "space dust for your fuel rods." Fuel rods are used in the control of a nuclear decay reaction within a nuclear power plant. This could be interpreted as either Vessel's lack of autonomy, or Sleep losing dominion.
If it's anything to note, "space dust" can also be radioactive.
So, with this all in mind, living past a half life is, in its basics, working towards rot. Existing as a dead man walking and overtly aware that you are.
To me, this could be in reference to Sleep. It's been emphasised that, while Sleep is one of the oldest Gods, He is a forgotten one; kept alive by rituals and those who are beckoned by song to follow Him. Aka, kept alive and powerful by Vessel.
Sleep has long since lived past His so called "half life," and, in toe, He is, therefore "well versed in the afterlife."
While I don't think it works as well, mainly because I consider the majority of this song to be Vessel having a go at Sleep, instead of vice versa, this could be applied to Vessel as a mouthpiece, too, posing the question of; how long until your humanity disapears? How long does it take until you pass your half life, and begin to speak and see only that which bloodless and broken creatures do?
How long until you aren't even you anymore?
And, when that change happens, which it will, eventually, will you emerge and become "someone new," or stay as you were?
Look what I found out how to make‼️ I love em sm hehe.
Thought it was very important to share that i had my first canon event of crying in the shower while singing along to/listening to a/some song(s) the other night and it was to the newest Sleep Token songs. (Caramel and Damocles)
The fact that it was Sleep Token I first cried to singing in the shower feels very special and is certainly something i will never forget.
Gods, I love this band sm it hurts. 😭
*emerges from headphones covered in blood* the album's really good you should listen
As mentioned a couple posts back I'm working on a 'The Arcana' fanfic with Julian and the MC/your character, who is something like a vampire in this au.
Here is just a little look at one scene (which i'm initially writing it out in Google Docs on my computer cause I prefer it like that), the word count (which I get from Wattpad, though i will not be posting the story on there, I just have what i've written sf transferred over into a file there to see the word count lol), and how many pages i've got of the writing according to my Google Docs.
I've technically written and posted fanfic before, but, of the one that got posted, they never got finished and were, by me, eventually taken down when I revisited it a year later. BUT, this one will absolutely be posted on here and AO3 (curse pls spare me or at least give me the bare minimum) cause god damn it I wanna start getting my writing out there for once even if it's with a self indulgent fanfic first.
Anyways, hopefully SOME ppl with an equal love for TA, Julian, and vampires find this and are intrigued.
(Also I meant LOCKS not LOOKS in that one part 💀)
i am the god of the Gap or whatever vessel said
Something quick I made bc the second I saw that on Pinterest I immediately thought of the fic I’m writing. Which I might post on here and possibly AO3 because I need to get over my fear of the curse. /gen
Anyways, the fic is very self indulgent, but I’ll edit it so it’s not strictly about my specific character. That version I’ll have for myself.
Also, I would post TA related things in certain community’s relating to it, but since I’ve started the game a little over a year ago now, I’ve been trying my absolute darnest to avoid spoilers like the plague 🫠(Pun very intended). This is mostly because, well I don’t wanna be spoiled, but in more detail, I’ve been spoiled so much before when say, making a board for something on Pinterest or simply liking tiktoks of it. So uhm, yeah no sir, I’m not letting that happen with TA. I am getting the full experience, even if it results in me loosing my mind when I see it mentioned out in the wild as if it’s some niche thing when it rlly isn’t and indeed has a fandom.
So until I either finish the game or give in, simply posting them under their appropriate hashtags will have to suffice.
I don’t have as much as my TA ones clearly, but trust me I’ll be making more lol
RAJHHHHHH I LOVE THIS MAN AND HOW THIS TURNED OUTTT (3rd is reference photo)
A bunch of silly little edit I’ve made and posted on Pinterest I thought I’d share here as well. I also have some Obey Me! ones I’m gonna post after this.
so are we gonna talk about how mirror pieces around jinx’s face are literally in the form of warwick jaws ???? like omg ?????
