"♩♫♪♪♫," says Rocky.
So we’re up to chapter 32. I think there are 16 left. Might be a gap between the last chapter and the posting of the next story, as it is doctorate-levels of complicated, trying to wrestle it into shape. It’s resisting.
Anyway. If y’all wanna read chapter 32, go here. If you want to start at the beginning, then go here.
I also have a Phantom teddybear to give away. Reblogs, likes, and comments here count as entries, as well as comments on AO3. Tagging it “The Belgian Masquerade” will also help.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more scared of posting my writing. Starting to be afraid I won’t post the whole thing. Maybe I’ll pull it down and rewrite. I always thought posting a big thing would be a great feeling of accomplishment. Turns out it isn’t. It’s just a loooooooot more words to rethink and to doubt and to consider potential disasters and mistakes. Fuck.
Hi.
So it’s been a while.
I’ve reverted to my old original fandom. And for the first time in my life, I finished a thing of size. I’m posting it weekly on AO3. Probably to the disappointment of many.
My original fandom: Phantom. No, not the awful movie. The stage version. Michael Crawford, Ramin Karimloo, or Ben Lewis, even. But someone who can sing.
It started as an exercise, playing in Flora Gray’s playground of The Better Man. It now has two sequels in process.
I don’t write in chapters. So the chunks posted are hefty.
Welcome to The Belgian Masquerade.
How I feel like everytime when I post some art
thank
*sobs incoherently*
Someone added it!!!! Thank you!!!!!
<3 <3 <3

I’ve decided that all bats fall somewhere on this horrid little graph I’ve devised. Here are some prime examples of the various Creature Varieties found in nature.
I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.
I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.
Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.
Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.
Are there any other particularly egregious examples?
This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:
It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).
This book can be downloaded for free on Researchgate, posted there by the author himself:
The Biology of Human Survival: Life and Death in Extreme Environments
When you write a book like American Gods you make friends with your doctor and ask him lots of questions about surviving Wisconsin Winters, plunges into cold water and the like.
The chandelier rises one last time.
Well now I DEFINITELY need to learn Icelandic.
What.
I don’t need to learn Icelandic cuz they say right there “Powers of Darkness” is an English translation, and I want to be part of the grift where the English translation has been changed *again*.

embroidered a severely underrated mcelroy quote
I didn’t see this on here so I guess I have to do everything myself
Oh God, I have hurt myself laughing at McElroys too much tonight. I may die. I love that little shit Festo.
hi! i genuinely cannot get over griffin’s fucking vocal inflection in this sentence! this entire audio clip haunts me!!
Friends it is our responsibility to vote! I want Donald laughed off the stage when he sees the numbers we turn out in. It’s time for us to cement him in history as a nobody who failed his country
If you don't show up to vote, they've already won. Please vote, so "my vote won't make a difference" doesn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It definitely won't count if you don't even try to use it.
"my vote won't make a difference" is an idea that was put into your head by someone who didn't want you to vote.
VOTE LOCAL TOO! VOTE OFTEN! Get him out, ABSOLUTELY, but without people up and down the legislative chain, he couldn't have done near as much damage as he has/is going to.

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her “10″ there, and so is like, well, I’m conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors don’t take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)
So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of “nothing” to “how I’d imagine it’d feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fire”.
I hate reposting stuff, but I’ll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, here’s a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I can’t embed images in a chat or an ask.
This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.
Pain Scale transcription:
10 - I am in bed and I can’t move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.
9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.
8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.
7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.
6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.
5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.
4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.
3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.
2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.
1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.
0 - I have no pain.
It’s also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how “bad” any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly.
For example, if someone asked me how much pain I’m in at any given time, I’d say hardly any, and yet I’m apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day.
There’s also a similarly useful “Fatigue Scale”
I haven’t been below a 5 on this scale for 4 years
Here’s the fatigue scale
Fatigue scale image desc:
10: can barely move; can’t talk
9: can barely move; can talk
8: can move, but can’t do much more than watch TV
7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously
6: can do work on my computer lying in bed
5: can get around the house, but definitely couldn’t go out
4: can run a light errand
3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy
2: can do three or more activities in a single day
1: going clubbing!
See also the Mental Health Pain Scale by Graceful Patient:
Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:
MILD
1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. You’re probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!
2 - You’re a bit frustrated or disappointed, but you’re easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.
3 - Things are bothering you, but you’re coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.
MODERATE
4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.
5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.
6 - You can’t do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.
SEVERE
7 - You’re avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.
8 - You can’t hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.
9 - You’re at a critical point. You aren’t functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.
10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You can’t imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.
These are so important! SO SO IMPORTANT SHARE THIS AND SAVE IT TO SHOW YOUR DOCTORS!
