There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true it can pierce the veil between life and death. Conjuring spirits from the past and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they call them firekeepers. And in West Africa they're called griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities, but it also attracts evil.

I know I've made some variation of this post like three times in the last few years but I'll stop making it when it stops being revelant: Fiction can introduce political ideas to people, but exclusively engaging with fiction (especially mass market fiction) is not enough to develop any sort of solid political outlook, no matter how niceys and leftist the messaging and authorial intent behind this fiction is. If you actually care about discussing politics in any serious capacity then at some point you're going to have to bite the bullet and read some non-fiction literature about it.

A lot of people have to get better about this (I know I have to improve on this, and it's something I'm working to remedy). It's fine to *not* have taken this step yet, but if you're not aware that that's a step that needs to be eventually taken you're going to walk into a conversation about imperialism citing a cartoon like it's ability to handle Deep and Mature Topics™ makes it equivalent to actual theory and you're gonna embarrass yourself.

my question for bg3 players is if you got isekai'd into the game, as you are now, would your tav be at all invested in your survival? i know for a fact my tav would like me enough to assure mine but i'm afraid that might involve putting me on a dog tie out at camp for the duration of the entire game.

Missy’s outfits

Missy is a huge fan of Gyaru fashion, with some inspiration from Y2K McBling! She goes all over town to every thriftstore to find the best fits. There are just two examples from her huge closet!

Gyaru-inspired makeup will often be a part of her daily look, matching her eyeshadow to her outfit.

can't stop thinking about how Remmick had a black eye after fleeing the Choctaw vampire hunters. Forget stakes and holy water and garlic; they were just straight up beating his ass
