in the midst of processing the newest episode, a theory came to me: i think the director is an immortal. my bets on her being the immortal of pride or heresy.

or (and i talked abt this w my irl friend who's also obsessed with ttp) the director could be athena herself. it would fit with the greek mythology vibe of it all. and athena is known for choosing her heroes (think odysseus) and planning things out, like how the director approached elijah specifically to join the epo and then years later, jason gets put on his team. coincidence? i think not. and it would be another ✨delicious✨ parallel if jason had a literal goddess backing him up (not helping, just kinda there) and heaven had literally turned their back on elijah.

either way, the director knows absolutely more than anyone & is playing 4D chess at epo hq 😭

this isn't the first time @cerbykerby had an idea that i've impulsively drawn... rest of the comic under the cut!

Imagine you're in a car with your brother and you keep telling him "slow down, you're going too fast" and he insists "I've got it under control!" And then he hits someone and you get out of the car and find out it's your sister. Your brother goes crazy from guilt and starts running over people left and right until you have to kill him to make sure no one else dies. Then years later he comes back to life and his boyfriend reveals oh guess what fuckhead. The reason he had to drive recklessly everywhere? Because he gave his legs to you in a secret operation you didnt know about. That's mdzs from Jiang Cheng's pov

i think this might be the entire novel

if you've been hearing less about gaza lately, it's because most of the journalists are dead. hassan eslayeh, who was murdered yesterday in his hospital bed by israel, had 351 videos archived on tiktokgenocide.com (an online archive of israeli atrocities i recommend you browse). this single journalist alone had contributed 351 videos. the same database lists that 252 journalists have been killed in gaza since october 7th. the cpj's archive of journalists killed is 178. they have a more conservative and less accurate estimate since they have less information on those media workers who work with local outlets.

regardless of the exact number, the number of journalists killed is so high that it is markedly affecting the footage and documentation we have coming out of gaza now. let me prove it to you: 70 people were killed today, May 14th 2025. did you know that?

y'all know that whole left-brained/right-brained thing is fake right? and the "brain fully develops at age 25" thing? and the "we only use 10% of our brains" thing? yeah they're all complete horseshit please yell at anyone who says them

We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective
