the raven paradox was discovered by Carl Gustav Hempel in the 1940s, which was before the invention of Sonic the Hedgehog, which is why Sonic is not USUALLY included in the description of this paradox.  But good news: Carl died in 1997, and the first Sonic game came out in 1991, so it's NOT IMPOSSIBLE that this towering figure in logical empiricism both knew and enjoyed playing the Sega Genesis adventures of Sonic D. Hedgehog

✨ It all returns to nothing. ✨ It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. ✨ It all returns to nothing. ✨ I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down. ✨

I don't like talking about my IRL struggles very often, but it's been nearly a year now since I started having these mystery health issues with still no diagnosis. I keep losing more of myself each passing day, and it's hard not to feel like I'm at the brink. Consider this vent art, I guess. Trying to express my pain with Homelander, lol. Link to the song "Komm, Susser Tod" for anyone who hasn't heard it.

Okay so which genesis arcs are the best for a beginner? I'm fond of selling england by the pound and the lamb lies down on broadway but what are the official Arcs?

Hoooooooooo boy! Where do I even begin?

Well the thing about Genesis is that it's a very long-running anime series. So long that it has actually been rebooted TWICE; once in '77 at the start of the ...And Then There Were Three... arc and again in '97 with the Calling All Stations arc which didn't last very long due to the fans not liking the new main character who replaced Phil Collins.

Since you already enjoyed Selling England and The Lamb (two of the best arcs in anime HISTORY <3) I would certainly recommend most of the earlier episodes since they share an extremely similar vibe. Largely due to Peter Gabriel being a very compelling main character (and of course the supporting cast having absolutely INCREDIBLE character development), but these arcs were basically the stepping stones to the musical genius of what came after. I especially LOVE Foxtrot, but Nursery Cryme and Trespass are also certified bangers!

As for their first arc, From Genesis to Revelation, I honestly wouldn't recommend it since it was clearly just a pilot to get the series off the ground and isn't nearly as interesting as the seasons to follow. Not to mention that it's basically non-canon anyway.

I would also highly recommend the two arcs that immediately followed: A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering.

Those two were kinda infamous at the time since most fans were still losing their minds over the shocking plot twist of PG leaving the show and weren't ready to accept Phil as the new MC yet, but after Peter's own spin-off series was well-established most fans tend to rank these as some of the best of all of Genesis. Just as prog rock as the previous arcs, and having a very calming and whimsical beauty to them imo.

After Steve Hackett's melancholy exit at the end of the Seconds Out live album special (before permanently moving over to his own still-developing spin-off series) the show basically began changing over from the prog to the pop rock genre. I don't dislike the direction the series took per say, it's just not really my thing compared to their prog rock output and so I don't have much to say about it.

Admittedly I'm only really familiar with three of the arcs from that era. I can certainly recommend both Duke and the self-titled Genesis arc if you're curious what their pop era is like, though fair warning that there's this one episode from the self-titled arc called "Illegal Alien" that's really racist and cringe and the only bad part of that season.

On this episode of: “Oh, So that’s how screwed we are!”

“Satanic” Edge-Lord: I wonder what the original [Matthew 7:12], Yiddish scripture meant. This is all translated so wrongly.

Me: It's Leviticus 19 and it was written in HEBREW. Yiddish ([a] "bridge" language of German and Hebrew) was created centuries after the expulsion of Ashkenazi Jews from Judea.

“Satanic” Edge-Lord: I thought Yiddish came before Hebrew? Interesting.

Me: [Externally patient] No…

Also me:

i really do think they should commit to a cindy burman redemption arc btw

[dissidiacloudstrife]

uh well i, it sure isn't edited and probably not what you meant (as in more where you probably wanted genesis to see jenovaroth with the avalanche Crew:tm: and not by himself), However, the Idea

It wasn't that Genesis couldn't believe Sephiroth couldn't become like this. It's that he Knew in his soul, his best friend wouldn't become like this. He also knows despite everything, in the end, despite what he's done, Sephiroth wouldn't kill him, not like this.

There would be anger, and retribution, and it would be silent. That was Sephiroth's ways. This was not silent, this was a drowning loud voice overcoming his friend. This was a windswept deafening cry. The worst thing, is Genesis couldn't tell who's was who's in it when he listened.

He looks up, the stars in the sky already in a slow moving supernova, seeing that horrible smile on his old friends face. Genesis' sword, razing with fire materia already, tightly held in his hand as he stared. Both waiting. The land split and separating between their fight. It felt so cold here. He couldn't keep up, not with this.

There was something so desperately wrong between them now.

"Sephiroth!" Genesis cried, "How many seconds do we have?" He gritted his teeth after, his breath coming out freezing.

Whatever he said, seemed to amuse this version of his friend, "For you? None." He spoke, eyes grinning as he flew down, Masamune slashing at the already dodging red head. "I've already told you. Rot would be too good for you now, Genesis."

The landing was rough on his body, even with whatever the Goddess did to him, this place was draining him, and fast. Genesis brought Rapier up, the heat from the blade giving him so much needed warmth as he waited again, watching his old friend turn around to face him again.

"No, you did not. I would rot, and I have and continue to do so, even the Goddess cannot help me here." He admitted, seeing Sephiroth's eye track him.

The edge around them began to rumble, as the supernova in the distance began to light up, less reds, purples and blues, and the lightness of a rift between space. Sephiroth made a mirthless laugh.

"We could have been together, with Mother. You brought me to her, after all."

The scream that Genesis pulled from his throat echoed in the empty area, fire erupting from his hand as he jumped the threshold back to the bait. Sephiroth easily held up Masamune to Rapier, smirking all the while as his eyes traced over his friend's raging face.

It was freezing as the fire raged around them, licking at their bodies, but never touching, he couldn't understand why his hand couldn't touch whatever twisted version of Sephiroth this was.

And then he moved his arm, and Genesis was slammed back into the ground, dozens of feet away.

He groaned, barely able to roll out of the way of Masamune's plunge. His fire burned brighter around him, despite not consciously activating the materia anymore.

"Where is he, where's the real Sephiroth. And not just the understudy." Genesis huffed, gauging any reaction he could get from this other. All he got was glee from his eyes.

Genesis tsked his teeth to himself, and flashed his wing out. "While this dance was fun with you, I prefer someone who knows what they're doing." He floated up, and quickly exited into the strange, strong pastel lights of the rift.

i want someone to write a fanfic about the whole "two sephiroth's" theory (one is a Jenova puppet and one is the actual Sephiroth who's still sane) where Genesis comes back and meets jenovaroth and IMMEDIATELY knows something is incredibly Wrong. he spends the entire fic chasing him away/fighting/running from jenovaroth while desperately trying to find the real sephiroth

Zack Fair has a really fascinating relationship with killing where a lot of the rest of the cast doesn't. He fights people as well as monsters and gradually stops being able to differentiate the two. He helps clear out beasties and ghoulies but he also intros the game with a massive attack on a foreign nation just to shore up corporate interests and for a good chunk of the game places those two activities in the same spot in his mind. One of his side projects at work is quashing the last remnants of rebellion in said occupied country and rooting out the spies in their resistance, at which point he hands them over to his bosses to be interrogated and presumably tortured. But if he comes face to face with the same people in a combat scenario, he won't kill them, because he views their desire to see themselves free as an honorable trait. Then he turns around and attacks hordes of people who defected Shinra. He uses the blunt side of his sword, not to spare lives, but because he doesn't want to damage the sharp edge.

Wutai forces and Genesis clones have a different categorization to him, something he can mentally label as "other". But after Nibelhiem, your primary enemy type becomes other Shinra soldiers. Just after Zack has had his realizations that the monsters he was wiping out share a haunting amount of basic building blocks with his coworkers. And with himself.

Actually, let's pause. Zack is the only character we see have any sort of acceptance of being Jenova-ed. Every other character is unwilling and usually not even a conscious being yet, but Zack A) knows what is being done to him, and B) openly states he wants those monstrous traits for himself. "Those wings / I want them too." Up to this point, every other character has equated being Jenova-ed to being baser, to being subhuman, but Zack at the very beginning tried to convince Angeal that it meant freedom. Power to do what you want.

Zack Fair willingly and with open arms embraced being made less than human because he thought it would give him the strength to break out of captivity.

So he busts out, and the first thing he's greeted with it a horde of enemies that he knows are human, has worked and talked with, and are in fact the same shape and type of person as Cloud. Just a couple cutscenes ago, these were his coworkers.

The easiest way to get through them is to set them on fire and blow up the munitions they're carrying on their person.

(It's such a beautiful demystifying of the elemental system. I love it.)

Oh also, you're on a time limit, so you gotta kill all these guys fast, because they're trying to go for the weak spot, Cloud, who can't fight and is getting dragged away.

After that, the next thing Zack does is find a gun and start taking long ranged killshots.

There's a tangible feeling of a lesson being learned.

Zack is (I think?) the only SOLDIER we ever see use a gun. It's worth noting that even the most fallen of SOLDIERs stick to their flashy blades and their weird swordfights. Other characters even comment how bizarre it is, but ffvii also runs on that fantasy world logic where if you just Get Good enough, swords are just as good as guns if not better. Guns are the lower, more primitive weapon, fit for grunts and hitmen but not elite fighters.

(I could also go into detail on how some of the SOLDIERS weapon are sold as bespoke merch in world, and basically another tool in the toolbox of how to sell these flesh and blood men as mythologized products. But we don't have time to unpack all of that.)

For Zack, we know that his sword is even a symbol of honorable combat and a legacy of trying to do the right thing. Zack picking up a gun is basically debasing himself to being just another man in the field. And it's a sniper rifle. The weapon guaranteed to get him as little contact with his opponent as possible and does not even give them a chance to fight back. But it's whatever gets the job done.

Zack starts the game as someone who kills people, but it's hand-waved aside the same way it is for most everyone else, only for him to bite that awareness apple like five minutes before it becomes absolutely vital he survive at all costs. Zack becomes aware that he's on a slippery slope and due to circumstances has to start sprinting. Over the course of the game, we watch as Zack Fair goes from being someone who kills people to a killer.

I've never actually sat down and read the Quran in order before. I didn't realize it got so legalistic so fast. The Torah and the New Testament like to give you some mythology first; a good solid Genesis.

The Quran hits divorce law by the second surah. I can see the logic there. You wanna give people the the dogma that's gonna be most immediately relevant to their actual lives. There's a wonderful empathy there.

I've just had a fun concept idea

Episode of The Big Bang theory where Sheldon is introduced to an elderly couple, and their house has a bunch of Star Trek merch, decor and paraphenalia. He believes its the husband's collection and tries many time, with laughing track galore, to strike conversation with him about it. Only, it isn't the husband's collection, he's big into woodworking or smth, and then the elderly lady reveals herself as the fan and a fandom founder.

Way back in the 70s, she was a fanzine editor and convention organizer type.

She introduces him to fanzines and shows pictures of convention she and her friends organized, along with fandom history, like the letters sent to Paramount to get S3 done. He is sceptical of Fanfiction, having for so long loved canon, but suggesting that people can fix inconsistency and add even more stories through it, he finds he likes it. Namely, she argues with "Well, why would a teenage Spock undergo Pon Farr on Genesis..." and he completes with "WHEN HIS FIRST WAS AT 34 IN AMOK TIME- omg you're right and we can fix that!"

Seeing these fics in the fanzine, he asks her how it began.

"And you started writing this because you desired Spock?! Physically?!" And the lady goes "Well a lot of us really did see the appeal... tall, not a red blooded male, with a mind and such kindness. I still do as a matter of fact!"

Sheldon faints, exclaiming about how Spock wouldn't do that, and she has to fan him with a fanzine. *insert laughing track here*

When he comes to, they talk further, and she asks: "So, if you agree that Spock would not do that with women, do you accept the Premise?" And Sheldon is puzzled, but the sense of secrecy is instantly appealing to him.

She brings out another zine, and introduces him to K/S.

At first he needs convincing but with a t'hy'la thrown in (he gets to go "OMG a reference to the novelisation of Star Trek the Motion Picture by Gene Roddenberry) and logical arguments, citing examples of women Spock refused to engage in relations with in favour of his captain (Leila, Zarabeth, T'Pring), before bringing in the spirk logic about mutual devotion and you got him won over.

Maybe she asks him if he woulf destroy the Enterprise for one of his friends and Sheldon goes "Absolutly not! How could I do that to such a ship! That's far too great a sacrifice- Omg captain Kirk IS in love with Spock!"

They talk about fanfiction more, and she speaks about all the types and genres, the more romantic, the more mature and explicit, and about how you can find or create whatever suits your tastes, and finishes with:

"We lived vicariously through Captain Kirk and Spock, or sometimes just really enjoyed reading about how they got together, or lore of their lives and adventures. They are a beautiful pair and really opened the door for creating about their worlds" We get a little *awww* from the crowd track.

Later we see him on Livejournal or smth looking for Generations fix-it and Sheldon is officially hyperfixating on Spirk.
