#Fragile Environment

[cavettrobert]

Noam Chomsky (AI Facsimile) highlights the need for a shift in values to sustain future generations!

[liones-s]

a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up

This. Always this.

He’s not mentally “unhealthy” just because he is emotional in the media pen, and being emotional in the media pen is not an example of mental health advocacy.

Do we as a community agree on the fact that Linus Baker and Aziraphale are basically the same person or it's just me

Echoes of Melting Giants: A Journey through Fragile Landscapes

In the heart of the Alps, where glaciers once stood proud, the scars of climate change are unmistakable. Journey through Val di Sole to Passo del Tonale, where history and nature intertwine. The remnants of the White War echo in a sensory museum within a cave, while the sight of retreating glaciers and makeshift tarps highlight humanity’s struggle against environmental degradation. This poignant narrative urges a reflection on our role in preserving these fragile landscapes for future generations.

i keep thinking of the path to the hidden folk and how insane the entire journey is. it plays on so many (personal) fears of mine; the dark, caves (we are not gonna talk abt the luray caverns vacation) and just what in the hell could be down there, feeling alone, isolated, disoriented ect ect.

everything about it was terrifying and intense and so beautifully done. every single one of your senses is instantly on high alert from start to finish and i love love love how “you are nothing without your sword” hits not only senua but the player as well. it brings me right back to the shard trails in the first game and how senua / you just had to push through to the other side.

not to mention the music, the flashes in the dark as you’re coming face to face with your own nightmares, and way those things move … every other enemy in the game really seems to have a set way of fighting but for some reason these little fuckers grapple and dodge and move in a way that reminds me how senua fights and THAT creeped me out. it was like … fighting yourself and in essence…i guess you really are.

This is just kvetching into the void but I periodically see posts on this here internet and website essentially trying to police the terms people use for their own art, ie "you can't call something a doodle if it looks finished (to me)" or "stop doing sketchbook flips that are finished pieces, it's supposed to be doodles and wips in a sketchbook!" and usually there's a reason given about these things setting an unrealistic standard either for other artists, or non-artists, and these irritate the piss out of me every time I fear.

Your 'finished piece' might BE someone's low effort doodle, that's just life sometimes! This is fine! It need not reflect on you!

Similarly, the sketchbook is the medium. Whether it's showcase of completed works or practice sketches is irrelevant. They are showing their sketchbook.

Much of this moaning is indirectly shot at people who are full-time artists, if not professionals, posting online. Are you under the impression their grasp of art terminology is just flat out wrong? Or is it just broader than you would like?

I can't take the fear of unrealistic expectations seriously, sorry. People are very ignorant, yes, but the cure is never a dumbing down of the topic, nor trying in vain to universalize it.

This all kind of wraps into how social media turns people sharing their art into this cut throat arms race, how divorced people become from means of actually learning their craft in that sort of environment, and the, to be blunt, sour grapes that grow from all of this. Sincerely, I just encourage people to worry less about other artists minding their business and focus more on personal growth. Maybe let yourself get inspired! And then we'll both win, because I will see less incessant whining out in the wild!

Ciel would be more traumatized by the Parisian subway than the entire Green Arc

you're so right i don't think he would survive the RER A. nope. that's too much for him.

[funnyscienceman]

saw some bullshit today so i dared myself to list every male-male non-romantic relationship (that i know of) in league

disclaimer i have not read all of runeterra lore so half of this is osmosis

Braum - Yasuo (RK rest point convos)

Braum - Pyke (RK, "you could never be on the list")

Darius - Draven (they're brothers)

J4 - Xin Zhao

J4 - Garen (shared a couple scenes in Lux comic + most of their screentime in Mageseeker was the two of them sulking about their loved ones being magic)

Master Yi - Wukong

Braum - Maokai (RK, maokai gives braum a cure for his people)

Nasus - Renekton (they're brothers pt 2)

Rengar - Graves (graves keeps referring to rengar as "my buddy rango")

Thresh - Viego (thresh 'helped' viego revive his wife, and also it's impossible to ship viego with anyone because he will not stop simping over said wife)

Vladimir - Viego (i'm pretty sure they're related?)

Warwick - Singed (listen i love monsterfucker singed as much as the next fella but in terms of canon singed remorselessly ruined ww's life lmfao)

Yone - Yasuo (they're brothers pt 3)

Xerath - Azir (although i personally think there's estranged mlm potential there so ymmv)

Heimerdinger - Ziggs (jinx comic + hextech mayhem, they've worked together)

Singed - Heimerdinger (Arcane, "love and legacy are the sacrifices we make for progress, it's why i parted ways with heimerdinger")

Nasus - Azir (i'm like 80% sure they're on speaking terms)

Shen - Zed (so i've heard, but i've also heard they could be read as exes so ymmv)

eighteen. now. actual 1000% confirmed mlm ships

Twisted Fate - Graves (you literally just need to read everything on their respective universe pages, even before Bombolini they were canon as fuck)

ships that COULD be

Udyr - Lee Sin (udyr voice lines)

Viktor - Jayce (bios + parallel short stories + Arcane)

Ekko - Ezreal (pulsefire short story)

…

now isn't that interesting.

           I think the thing I've emphasized when speaking about Sayuri’s storyline is that she isn’t just an angry woman. It should never be summed down to purely female rage (it's an element of the story, yes!), there should be the other sides of her that are taken into account, the unwanted daughter, the noblewoman who does not back down, her business ventures, along with the desire to be a mother. She is someone loved, loathed, respected, strongly disliked, a paradox of so many titles. It’s a brief moment of unhinged violence she takes in, where every bit of grief cannot be contained, as she demonstrates in various arcs she knows how utterly confined her life is. It could be argued selfishly playing dead was wrong of her, though, Sayuri’s life was ripped away from her hands before it ever began. There would be no argument, she would either become that of greatest because that is what a Kobayashi does, even if it required a sacrifice. Godhood doesn’t even scathe her, she finds it all terribly exhausting, but these are duties one must attend to, she will not hear any protest. Every flame dwindles, Sayuri does eventually, trying to understand the broken fragments of her life. Her end is somewhat a nod to how she is first introduced, a quiet woman that’s greatest pride is the small cafe she runs, every cup of coffee made with utmost love. Fading away into obscurity where one even questions her authenticity or was she just another myth?
