#and that should resolve itself

Hey y'all, I know I've kind of dropped off the face of the map crafting-wise this last week or so, but I have been tapering off of the hydrocortisone I'd been on for a while. Long term, it will be better for me, but short term, standing is not my friend right now. I stood up today and my heart rate/blood pressure got weird enough I felt it in my nose that felt so weird I'll be fine, the side effects are unpleasant but not dangerous, but crafting is taking more spoons than I have most days. I am getting better though! And my blood pressure hasn't been low, so even without this medication I am doing better than I was before going on this medication. I'm not entirely sure like...why???? But it's a good thing!

Even though Liam’s whole misogynistic joke thing is obviously supposed to not be taken all that seriously and just as a running gag, (a running gag that makes a lot of people including myself uncomfortable and that I would rather ignore but still), I think that if Rosy decides to redeem Henry and Liam it’d be hilarious if to make Liam less problematic for the redemption, they made him have character development but it’s 100% offscreen.

But not in ret-con way where it’s not even acknowledged, no no no. Instead someone would say something low-key sexist and Liam would interject like “Woah, that’s not cool man”. And there’s just a beat of silence as the other guys look at him in confusion. And even Henry is like “…What?” but the scene moves on before anyone can ask further questions. And from then on it just happens repeatedly, but every time someone tries to ask what the fuck happened to him he gets cut off before he can elaborate. And so everyone in-universe is just getting increasingly more surprised and puzzled as he does it around more and more characters without elaborating. Sean says to Zander that he thought Zander described this Liam guy a lot differently and Zander, who has completely given up on figuring this out, just dejectedly says that he did, has no fucking clue what happened, and probably never will.

Idk, just a silly idea I came up with because it lets Liam keep his whole ladies’ man archetype, but the comedy comes from the subversion of that archetype and the absurdity of his heel-turn rather than…whatever he has going on now.

I feel like tumblr should know that last night, in my dream (where I was some kind of thief/agent character), I was given a quest by the Chocolate Guy (Amaury Guichon) to save a mall full of people from The Void. Unclear what powers he had, since he was also trapped in the mall-void, but apparently he was the one who summoned me. He was making a large, round chocolate sculpture, but I didn't get to see what it was

not to. Return There. but. I am compelled to burn my wings against the bright light until the end of times, so.

I think that if Totk Ganondorf was ever meant to be a criticism of imperialism, it's a pretty incomplete one without Rauru taken into account.

While Ganon is very representative of the "conquest" aspect as a Strongman Fascist who reveres strength and the violent part of the initial domination, he has no concrete plans of enforcement and structure down the line, no way to preserve his flimsy grip on power (the game makes a point to tell us he doesn't care for survivors and he doesn't ever seem eager to preserve any kind of infrastructure). Rauru --who somehow couldn't "come to the aid" of Hyrule without crowning himself king about it-- isn't about the conquest or the violence, but Hyrule is nothing if not an extremely well oiled system with a centralized religion, coin, language, history, legends and social class self-replicating since the literal beginning of times.

The *very long sigh* imperialism thing isn't about making one of these two egotistical weirdos more righteous than the other: it's about acknowledging the parallels, even if the game itself throws hissy fits at the mere suggestion Ganondorf and Rauru are two characters who are begging to be compared (and even make vague strides that they should be during cutscenes, though they are not super specific and immediatey dissolve into a little puddle of nothing, I'll give you that willingly), because if Ganondorf represents stage 1: the conquest... then Rauru should represent stage 2: the consolidation.

And the fact that the game is desperate to refute that these two kingly idiots adhere to the same fundamental system of governance (and the one who's deeply into the concept of centralization and automation and leveling of culture and repression of literal identity through the liberal use of masks not being the chaotic dramaqueen on his edgy unicorn giggling to himself about awkward murder scenes) feels like pretty offputting denial --because, truly, what is so scary about noticing the similarities? Wouldn't it be enriching and worth the conversation?

What are we so afraid of?

everyone be proud of me for setting boundaries at work. today i was having an issue with something and was talking to my supervisor about what to do and he was like well you could give it another six hours. so i said well that would be 10 PM. that didnt seem to strike him as immediate reason not to do that so i said quote "honestly im not going to be here at 10 PM so lets operate on the assumption that is not going to be a feasible approach to this problem."

been chewing on my Yukiko SLink thoughts for literal weeks and while I’m torn on a lot of elements, I think my biggest Thing about its central conflict is the way Yukiko is never actually afforded an opportunity open up about and to work through her feelings about taking over the inn with said community.

Like, big Sherlock Holmes fan, me, but the thing about Sherlock Holmes is that even within the confines of the stories all those little details don't add up to the solution of the mystery. You can't read Holmes's analysis of some guy's calluses and know how the story ends. The information necessary to put the puzzle together unfolds apace with the plot, and it's only in retrospect that the details of how it all fit together mean something. Holmes even says as much to Watson at one point; he is able to tell what Watson is thinking about from the expression on his face and when Watson is impressed he takes him backwards through a string of deductions and when he's finished Watson agrees with him that yes, now it's been explained it is absurdly simple. The brilliance of Sherlock Holmes is a trick of framing.

Grabs you by the shoulders HUMMINGBIRD SALAMANDER BY JEFF VANDERMEER AND Y/N BY ESTHER YI ARE REALLY JUST THE SAME TYPE OF STORY IN DIFFERENT FONTS. THE RECKLESS AND RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF AN IDEAL, OF AN IDEA, OF A FRAGMENT OR A FIGMENT OF A PERSON WHO YOU SO EARNESTLY BELIEVE YOU KNOW. EVEN AS IT DESTROYS YOU. EVEN AS IT TEARS YOUR LIFE APART. AN ALMOST RELIGIOUS ZEAL FOR AN IDOL. THE SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE OF THAT IDOL LEAVING MANY BROKEN OR OTHERWISE CHANGED IRREVERSIBLY. AN IMAGINATION OF AN IDYLLIC REALITY. UNRELIABILITY OF THOUGHT, OF MEMORY. A WOMAN REALIZING SHE NEVER LOVED THOSE WHO WERE CLOSE TO HER AS SOON AS SHE STARTS TO LOVE A CONCEPT. LOVING THE IDEA OF LOVING AN IDEA. DO YOU UNDERSTAND

"why did gotham knights use jacob kane instead of william cobb?? gotta make everything about batman smh"

normally id agree that less stuff should be about batman but like. that would tie the story to dick and make it a nightwing focused plot. which. isnt a good move for a game that wanted to have 4 main characters and was deliberately trying to avoid having any character be the "right" one to play as.

i'm gonna be real a lot of the complaints & takes from the bg3 fanbase have been hilariously stupid and hypocritical as fuck lately. like be real.

Nowins will choke. he will not get p4 in the drivers championship and he will let aston martin pass mclaren again for p4 in the constructors championship. he is meant to be the more experienced driver but he bottled so many opportunities this year. there will be nobody else to blame for his failures. he let himself and his team down. it is time for him to take some blame.

How did you know it was my birthday and all I really needed to top it off was a good giggle? 🧡

You know its bad when Im having nocturnal asthma attacks.

Weirdness update: I am still very slightly itchy, but not to the point where I felt the need to take medicine a second time today. I think it may be done, and my body just needs to finish processing. If I still feel anything in the morning I might take one more Allegra, but I think this week of random hives is finally over! May it never happen again!

[87foxeninaboxen]

All this stress over the new update (Aventurine-adjacent obviously) has me feeling so sick PLEASE...Please just let him be 10000000% happy and safe with zero question ONCE
