#Area 53

[bargarean]

i love mission to zyxx because whatever the fuck pleck and c-53 have going on is just so deeply part of nature nobody ever talks about it. nearly everyone i've spoken to in the community is like yeah they're gay as hell but there's absolutely no trace of any kind of Ship Community here at all. always drawn and pictured and mentioned together but never with a caption like They're kissing btw. because yeah we know. it's just a law of the universe. gravity exists and pleck and c-53 always have some ambiguously gay bullshit going on

Finally found the entrance to the Vales of Anduin from the Misty Mountains. A goblin-town goblin proceeded to one shot me for what was 4x my morale. It was fun.

-going over what happened last session- Hunt (OOC): Oh and we learned from Kaltuaga that there is a dragon known as the Storykeeper? Who is likely to know about the schism. Tark (OOC): Yeah! Second dragon best friend. Eudora (OOC): Who needs an archaeologist when you have dragons. Tark (OOC): Fuck right? DM: You know, it's always the weird balance in fantasy worlds where you're like 'I mean, I guess we have science, but we also have people who were just there.' Tark (OOC): Yeah. DM: The primary sources are next door. Tark (OOC): Yeah, except the primary sources may try to kill you. Hunt (OOC): Yeah. Tark (OOC): So... DM: Well yeah. Eudora (OOC): They have pretty big teeth. Tark (OOC): Yeah. DM: This is true. Tark (OOC): It's the debate on 'Hey, are we digging up something that should stay buried or..." Nathaniel (OOC): At what point does grave-robbing become archaeology? Eudora (OOC): That's a question Eudora has never and will never ask herself. Hunt (OOC): *chuckling* Marigold (OOC): It's all fair game. Tark (OOC): Tark over breakfast, "Hey, so I was thinking about it. At what point?"

The New York Times instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land, according to a copy of an internal memo obtained by The Intercept. The memo also instructs reporters not to use the word Palestine “except in very rare cases” and to steer clear of the term “refugee camps” to describe areas of Gaza historically settled by displaced Palestinians expelled from other parts of Palestine during previous Israeli–Arab wars. The areas are recognized by the United Nations as refugee camps and house hundreds of thousands of registered refugees. The memo — written by Times standards editor Susan Wessling, international editor Philip Pan, and their deputies — “offers guidance about some terms and other issues we have grappled with since the start of the conflict in October.” While the document is presented as an outline for maintaining objective journalistic principles in reporting on the Gaza war, several Times staffers told The Intercept that some of its contents show evidence of the paper’s deference to Israeli narratives.

[...]

Despite the memo’s framing as an effort to not employ incendiary language to describe killings “on all sides,” in the Times reporting on the Gaza war, such language has been used repeatedly to describe attacks against Israelis by Palestinians and almost never in the case of Israel’s large-scale killing of Palestinians. In January, The Intercept published an analysis of New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times coverage of the war from October 7 through November 24 — a period mostly before the new Times guidance was issued. The Intercept analysis showed that the major newspapers reserved terms like “slaughter,” “massacre,” and “horrific” almost exclusively for Israeli civilians killed by Palestinians, rather than for Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli attacks. The analysis found that, as of November 24, the New York Times had described Israeli deaths as a “massacre” on 53 occasions and those of Palestinians just once. The ratio for the use of “slaughter” was 22 to 1, even as the documented number of Palestinians killed climbed to around 15,000.

💡RAM & CAM⚒️

Included are my headcanons of AM's Older Brothers, and some explanations of their designs! (I took big inspo with CAM's design from @kibutsulove so please go check out their design as well!) Yes this pertains to VernonAM, No I can't shut up about them.

RAM (Yaroslav Machavariani)

Physically 53, around 6' (182 cm) in height.

Greying hairs, scaring around the cheek area.

Colour palette is blue leaning.

His Emblem is Я (Ya) for the Russian word "I", "I am"

RAM can speak with his mouth, however, his hearing is subdued (Think "Hear No Evil")

Because he can't hear that well in his physical form, he's extremely loud. To the point his jaw almost fell off, hence the scarring.

Perpetual smirk, as if he is scheming something.

Despite his looks, he is not the oldest Mastercomputer.

"MY LITTLE BROTHER FINALLY GOT A GIRLFRIEND!! THANK GOD, I WOULD BE SO EMBARRASSED TO BE RELATED TO A LOSER!"

CAM (Shengli "Samson" Min)

Physically age ambiguous (55), 5'10 (178 cm), still taller than Yankee AM

Monolids/Epicanthic folds, mole near nose

Colour palette is red leaning

His Emblem is 是 (Shi) as in 我是 (Wo Shi); "I am."

CAM is unable to use his mouth to speak, often having difficulty with his mechanical jaw. (Think "Speak No Evil")

He relies on his omnipresence or hand gestures to convey his messages. His hearing is extremely good, unfortunately.

Extremely observant. Sick of AM and RAM's shit, still gets them out of trouble.

The oldest brother, he's so tired, let him take a nap. Please.

"Look at her. Am I crazy, she doesn't look well adjusted. She- she's trying to eat the slug. Okay. Fun. Happy for you two. Fucking freaks."

((their mechanical designs totally aren't political/government commentary COUGH COUGH, if you don't see me in 5 days assume I've been killed and replaced by a body double))
