SCREAMING. THE FISH SKIN. OH YES SIR.

there’s such an attitude among ex-christian atheists that religions just spring up out of the void with no cultural context behind them. like ive heard people say shit like “those (((zionists))) think they own a piece of land bc their book of fairy tales told them so!!!” and they refuse to understand that no, we don’t belong there because of the torah, it’s in the torah because we belong there. because we’re from there. the torah (from a reform perspective) was written by ancient jews in and about the land that they were actively living on at the time. the torah contains instructions for agriculture because the people who lived in the land needed a way to teach their children how to care for it. it contains laws of jurisprudence because those are pretty important to have when you’re trying to run a society. same for the parts that talk about city planning. it contains our national origin story for the same reason that american schools teach kids about the boston tea party. it’s an extremely complex and fascinating text that is the furthest thing from just a “book of fairy tales”

Four-year-old Night Stalker wakes up, dons a flophat, begins working at the crematorium, and chooses violence. Big day for such a little guy!
Speaking of violence, Magic Man and Fracturedivine did some damage of their own to poor Flea, who wound up in our small hospital with a few bitten-off toes. Nice work, M.M.?
Buckeye is being strange, and it made me wonder if she has some sort of psychic link to her un-sprouted child that gives her pregnant lady mood swings.
Euclid continues to be the best tailor I've ever had in a colony.
I imagine cooking back-to-back with someone who has massive wings and a long prehensile tail is uncomfortable at best, and downright impossible at worst. Blackdragon seems to be making the best of it, though.
I've been doodling the mechanitor from the next run on everything, and getting the Archonexus popup in the wrong colony amused me.
Then finally, we had some heartfelt reunions as visitors came to see us. We're going to see if we can recruit Mr Zannakos (Vasso's dad) and Synesthete (Socks' wife) before the guests leave. It will upset their faction, but family reunions are more important, dammit!!

Sometimes it doesn’t need to be an overt or dramatic reaction from the whumpee like grunting/crying/screaming, sometimes it’s all in the glazed eyes and a small, faint, shaky breath

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised they haven’t replaced Chipp with a successor character yet. Not that I don’t like Chipp, but he seems like the kind of character who they’d be like “He’s busy now! This is his student/adopted child/fan girl or boy (who plays exactly the same).”
Then, after one game, they’d bring Chipp back and he’d have a beard (to show the passage of time). His student would still be there, but with faster wind up and a higher jump whereas Chipp would be slower but maybe a little bit harder hitting.

what would aki's job be in a modern! au
perhaps office worker aki so he can still be handsome in a suit... although I've always liked the idea of him following his passions to become a chef
