and dont get me started on bullshit elements with no opposite like ice, sand, magma, poison, or whatever the fuck quinessence is

Listen, I know that as a writer and game designer that element systems are both cliche and fake-deep, but I cant help but obsess over them, and let me tell you: the lack of symmetry in these system drives me up a fucking wall.

[ftafp]

of course, if you add air, you cant fit it in without breaking symmetry or introducing bullshit at least one bullshit interaction

like yeah, I know wuxing is very pretty and all, but its fake symmetry. you cant have earth but not air. also, earth beats water? really?

I just learned about spiny rats and they just look exactly like that sounds

so we're at checks notes people being snatched off the strees, marines illegally deployed to a US city, leader of DHS saying she's there to 'liberate' it from the local government(with no obvious end date, essentially an occupation), a sitting US congresswoman indicted for doing oversight, and a sitting senator tackled for trying to ask a question. They've arrested judges, mayors and threatened to arrest governors.

oh and trump is making hateful speeches to cheering us troops and is getting a wasteful military parade next week.

We're so far past the rubicon its not visible in the rear view mirror

cant celebrate gay pride today.. too seepy. gonna celebrate gay sloth instead

No, it's not your responsibility. but like... neither is tipping. neither is giving a dollar to the homeless. neither is boycotting little mrs "wizards shit on the floor". You don't do it because it's your responsibility, you do it because the people who ARE responsible for solve these problems are intentionally trying to make them worse.

And make no mistake these are jobs that NEED to be done, because if nobody does them, we're looking at at least another 50 years of nazidom. Bear in mind that if you're the same age or older than them—particularly if you're queer, bipoc, or in possession of a uterus—that's probably longer than you can expect to be alive.

So, the question stands: do you want to help stop this now, or do you want to let them keep going and see if this all blows over?

See, the thing about young men being brainwashed into a mysogynistic transphobic nazi cult is that unless you're deprogramming them faster than they're being reprogrammed, the numbers aren't really going to stop going up.

For all the flak homestuck gets due to its jarring shifts in tone, there's something utterly fascinating about the way it uses scene transitions during its more dramatic flash animations.

Oftentimes, when a piece of media has multiple action scenes occurring simultaneously, especially across large distances, those scenes are independent. When the camera switches away from one, it's simply taking advantage of a lull in activity to check in on what's going on elsewhere. In homestuck's case however, the scenes are entangled with each other, and when the focus shifts between them it's often chasing the path traced by an exchange of plot points, even across different universes and timelines.

The effect is most noticeable in Cascade, Jade: Enter, and Unite/Synchronize. One small event that happens in one scene immediate results in a game-changing and often catastrophic impact in another. This zig-zagging flow of the action means that when the story builds excitement it doesn't kill its own momentum by moving the spotlight. Each scene shift expands the previous one, and doesn't stop expanding until you reach the climactic end of the flash.

What's frustrating about the Musk and Trump thing is that. Like.

It's a distraction.

Trump cancelling the subsidies to electric cars was a campaign promise. That was basically announced months ago, I think Musk just didn't expect Trump to go through with it

And Musk saying Trump is in the Epstein files, is like. We knew. The files are everyone that Epstein associated with, and Trump has photos with the guy. We all knew.

I mean, it's a lot of flash, but to me it does feel like a bit of a nothingburger?

It feels like a distraction.

Even if the emotions are genuine, Trump might be getting encouragement to blow up the relationship so that people are distracted from the many real problems of the Big Beautiful Bill. And also so that the Left feels like there's momentum on Damaging The Right As A Cohesive Block.

So we're distracted, instead of:

Noticing how many Republicans are saying "I wouldn't have voted yes if I'd actually read the BBB"

Paying attention to the new travel ban

Recognizing that this isn't really moving anything

Calling our senators about the insanely stupid tax breaks in the BBB

And any number of other government actions that are shaping up to have real and lasting impacts on us

Made from the parts of dead draculas sewn together by his father, Count Victor Moreau, Jekyl was a well-spoked and eloquent young man with a promising future as a mad scientist. Despite a thirst for blood and skin that burst into flame under direct sunlight, Jekyl persevered, and ended up graduating from Miskatonic University with a PhD in Mad Science, which he paid for courtesy of a most dangerous game scholarship. The whole thing was looking to be an inspiring story of overcoming handicaps in the face of adversity, but then a swamp thing attacked.

Surviving his vicious mauling, Jekyl was infected with an insidious disease that causes him to transform every night when the moon is full into a murderous wolfman named Mr. Orlock. Cursed to burn beneath the sun and kill beneath the moon, the only way Jekyl could find to live his life was to wrap himself head to toe in bandages like a mummy of old.

Theorizing that it would allow hostile rays to pass through him without harm, Jekyl has now on a quest to build a time machine in hopes that the people of the future will know a way to turn him into the invisible man. Little does he know that his actions could result in a war of the worlds

Fun fact: according to some of the old myths, the greek god Hephæstus, the lord of invention and craftsmanship, was waited on by a retainer of golden fembots who served as repository for all his divine knowledge.

Now, given that

Hepheastus was just as horny as any any greek deity

He was considered so unfuckably ugly that within seconds of giving birth to him Hera decided it wasnt too late for her to have an abortion.

He is the only known deity to qualify for the Most Divorced Man In The Universe award.

It stands to reason that one of them would have been his secretarywife. With that in mind, I propose that their relationship would have looked something like this:
