Whenever I see someone refer to "Victorian era-" for places outside the UK I'm tempted to start saying shit like "Han Dynasty era Rome", "Soviet era Australia" etc

Shout out to whichever editor saw Murph’s soft ass face when Emily was talking about Marya being scared of taking the wheel and said enhance….. yeah it’s going in

okay so the the zephyr crew has:

a very disney princess esque bright eyed transfemme who is just the most precious

a guy who's rowdiness speaks to him like a venom symbiote and also has no straight explanation for any of his behavior

an octagenarian gunslinger who joined a pack of coyotes after his divorce and who's first words when he was introduced were "dribble a little piss"

a (not great) toysmith with a haunted past and a slavic accent

a 6 foot tall butch with a sick prosthetic arm and just the most wet cat of a husband

and a famous author who's novels fell off after the fourth or fifth one

truly the adventuring party of all time

I have yet to see anyone talking about Wealwell's playing card moment in episode 2--and look, I know it was a bit, okay? But it's Dimension 20, where bits are virtually indistinguishable from serious canon, and the only two things Wealwell has done to affect the plot so far are:

Tell the successful lie that gets them access to the ship

Throw a playing card with such prodigious finesse that he explodes a steampunk plane.

I'm just saying I think it'd be so funny if he continues to be pathetic and wildly competent in equal measure.

Longspot Gotch: Maxwell, I want you to go evict this couple and their son and possibly get shot dead while you do it.

Some guy: actually, they have a daughter.

Longspot Gotch: Ah, I hadn't heard, good for her! Maxwell, I want you to go evict this couple and their daughter and possibly get shot dead while you do it.

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right
