Ever think about how Siffrin probably had to do a good bit of hunting for his own meat while he was living alone roughing it. And most likely had to get pretty crabbing good at it for survival's sake, both cooking it for himself and selling it. And how they probably applied this skill while traveling with the party too. And how this skill was most certainly taken away from them when they lost their eye. And how this would be yet another thing Siffrin would heavily internalize and blame themself for. Stupid useless Siffrin who can't even provide for himself or his family anymore. Ough.
#bat chatter#isat#in stars and time#“well if he can fight sadnesses just fine half blind then couldn't he also do the same with animals?”#fair point. however.#i think it would be a little different since sadnesses are hostile and tend to stay in close range#as opposed to like#a deer or rabbit or something that's actively trying to escape

daredevil stuff started going to shit when people became more interested in the intersection between his religion and his superheroics as opposed to the intersections between his superheroics, his blindness and his legal career.
#daredevil#like. idk.#the way people now talk about matt like#it's so crazy that he's a CATHOLIC but he dresses as a DEVIL and BEATS PEOPLE UP#as opposed to like#matt murdock is a blind lawyer and a superhero and these two personas are vital to his main goal of helping people#which isn't to say matt's ALWAYS been a lawyer but idk there's a clear difference in his portrayal#the key thread of the bendis run is that lying about not being daredevil is unethical practice as a lawyer#despite the fact that his identity being out is DANGEROUS to him and those he loves#whereas now people seem to think that him being daredevil is unethical as a CATHOLIC

i like to watch people play dead space in part bc i get to see little things in the game that i never would have thought to check myself, like as it turns out, isaac can be knocked down in the remake but it's just to account for what happens if you decide to stand like right in front of the door that the brute breaks down on the bridge for whatever reason
#maybe there's some other places ive missed but that might be the only ?? time isaac can be knocked down as a result of player action#as opposed to like#scripted bits like the drag tentacles or the valor crashing#dead space

ok so i think that my favourite fantasy subgenre is The Inherent Tragedy Of Being Born Into Royalty. which mostly means that i like to read about gay princes but with some nuance
#ethically i am opposed to monarchies and empires. i think being born into a royal bloodline is inherently traumatising#which makes for the juiciest tastiest drama in stories obviously#either you become a bad ruler and people will suffer at your feet. or you become a good ruler and you no longer belong to yourself#how much will you sacrifice at the altar of your ideals?#It Compels Me. Narratively#also books like the goblin emperor have a big autism appeal in like. the court had a lot of nonsensical rules and you have to mask so much#apparently i am such a parody of myself that whenever im like. i have a drawing of my current blorbo#my friend immediately assumes it's a prince based on their vibes#IT'S NOT ALWAYS A PRINCE... SOMETIMES IT'S THE EMPEROR'S SECRETARY.... OR A DEMON WHO'S A KNIGHT.............. I CAN BE DIVERSE#anyway im currently reading the hands of the emperor AND a prince4prince web novel. that's the vibes rn

Would like to say you can absolutely develop diabetes regardless if you have a good diet or not
#speaking as a person whose coworkers were shocked i developed t2 when i eat mainly healthy food#my main diet pre diagnosis was the same except i eat even less pasta#and i limit a regular sugary latte to once a month now#as opposed to like#monday friday treat#which was approved by my pcp

i just think it's important to understand that love is not the antithesis of horror in fact it's often the catalyst
#🐉#those takes that were like 'horror is about love actually' as if it was a revalation. they are not diametrically opposing concepts!!!#i dont personally think horror is 'about love' btw but in many cases its a component part

hero/villain showdown but one of them has a spontaneous medical emergency and the battle gets put on hold while their archnemesis drives them to Urgent Care
#it should be like. a hernia. or diverticulitis#something intestinal for maximum Awkward Scenario#and the entire car ride alternates between awkward silence and the driver lecturing their nemesis on the importance of regular check-ups#this is funnier if the hero is the one having the hernia tbh. but both options are Very Good#want to emphasize that it is a 'medical emergency ' that is clearly not extreme enough for the emergency room#and the sidekick/henchperson gets stuck in traffic so the hero/villain stays for moral support#they spend 8 hours in the waiting room playing Uno (it devolves into a screaming match)#at the end of the ordeal one of them vows to burn the hospital to the ground with their laser eye powers#and it's Not The One You Think#oh oh oh! ALTERNATIVELY:#it's an allergic reaction; one of them accidentally poisoned the other by using like. soybean derivative in a tranquilizer dart#emphasis on *accidentally*. yes they were technically fighting but That Wasn't Supposed To Happen#so now they're obligated to take responsibility and Stay In The Waiting Room#(can't decide if it's funnier if it's the hero or the villain stuck in this situation)#(probably the villain)#“why didn't you TELL me you were allergic to soybeans???”#“um because you would use it against me in combat?”#“as opposed to NOT telling me! which has worked out fantastic for you!!!”#villain being genuinely offended bc they have a biochemistry degree and have invented literally dozens of untraceable poisons#they have the scientific skill to poison their favorite jackass in hundreds of ways#(and have done so before! in admittedly non-fatal outcomes but that was by design okay)#but it's “dangerous” to do them the simple curtesy of informing them about a SOY ALLERGY????#above all else they consider themself a scientist#and they're LIVID that their favorite (reluctant) test subject lied about their medical history#“technically i didn't LIE--#“I read you the questionnaire! the very first time i held u hostage i READ YOU THE QUESTIONNAIRE!!!”#“...the what now”#“the MEDI--holy shit you weren't even paying attention were you#i had you bound and gagged over an ACTUAL BUBBLING ACID PIT and you couldn't even be bothered to--#“--so i was obviously a bit BUSY at that moment! I'm sorry i ignored your VILLAINOUS MONOLOGUING while the BLOOD WAS RUSHING TO MY HEAD but

I love when Gotham treats the bats as respected heroes solidly in the moral good most of the time
And then the entire rest of the world views them as unhinged dubiously moral vigilantes barely held back by the superhero community that trusts them for some inexplicable reason
And they don’t present themselves any differently Gotham just has such a skewed sense of good and normal that the bats seem pretty sane and reasonable
#the rest of the world can’t understand the gothamite belief because they refuse to get near that cursed brutalist hellscape of a city#and I do include all of the bats btw Gotham is not opposed to knocking heads (into a duffel bag) when necessary#batfamily#batfam#batfam headcanons#batman#bruce wayne#barbara gordon#dick grayson#jason todd#Cassandra Cain#stephanie brown#Tim drake#duke thomas#damian wayne#I know I said all of the bats and I meant it but I’m typing out all thirty six of their names so just imagine they’re here#like how we imagine their coping skills and healthy communication

we've GOTTA collectively start writing Will as freakier i'm sorry. he willingly chose to not only date a Hades kid but to date the CREEPIER Hades kid. the one he watched killed multiple people. the one who has a habit of stalking people. the one everyone is fully convinced is cursed and/or evil. Will CHOSE THAT LIFE. Will is INTO THAT.
if you're not writing Will as daydreaming about a Morticia & Gomez Addams romance where they flirt in the camp morgue and Nico is actively trying to sacrifice him to dark spirits while in actuality Nico the magic the gathering nerd is mildly concerned why Will is so enthusiastic about showing off his bones and specimens collection to Nico (not that he's grossed out, it's just weird for somebody who's not him to be doing that) then you are missing out!!!!! make Will weirder!!!!
#pjo#riordanverse#will solace#solangelo#between Nico and Will i think Will is more likely to try tasting mystery blood#like Will would do it regularly and with intention. nico is not completely opposed but its far and few between for him#he's not seeking it out. Will meanwhile is honing his ability to taste the difference between blood types

recently, Israel sent down hellfire missiles near a hospital in Gaza, which are missiles that explode into blades that slam down and cut through anything in their way. (link)

There is a video of a man with his legs newly amputated, screaming in a pool of his own blood. I won’t share the video, because it made me vomit into a toilet, but either trust me it exists or go look for it yourselves.
There is another video of a young girl, crying silently after her legs were blown off in an explosion. She explains tonelessly to the camera man that she doesn’t want fake legs because they’ll just remind her of her real ones. She is 13. (link)
A hospital is told to evacuate and they do, all the while waving white flags in a show of surrender. The IDF shoot at them anyway. (link)

Meanwhile in Israel - they begin to enforce one of the most draconian anti-free-speech laws in history.



1.link | 2.link | 3.link
Israel also claims to be the “only democracy in the Middle East”.
Israel has bombed hospitals, fishing boats, schools, refugee camps, power sources, water tanks, evacuation routes. They have killed 80% of Palestinian journalists, they have killed 100 UN workers, they have murdered over 4,000 children in 34 days. Because of the lack of food and water, Palestinians have begun to die from starvation, cholera.
If you still support Israel after all this, I believe you’re completely lost. Utterly without any humanity. Nothing could ever excuse this.
In Australia, there is an ongoing list of protests planned, as well as a permanent camp out being set up in Naarm/Melbourne to block Israeli transport company ZIM from shipping weapons. Congressional staffers in the US are finally being gotten through to - in spite of their rampant greed and long-suffering inhumanity, even they can recognise when their phones won't stop ringing with people saying flat out they'll never vote for them again.
Find resources to help Palestine globally at Ceasefiretoday.com
#I just have no words#how can you heal this kind of inhumanity#and I know Israel does not represent the interests of all Jewish people. I know there are Israelis who oppose the genocide full heartedly.#i honestly try to see israel as an entity separate from judaism as a whole bc every anti-zionist jew ive seen in protest denounces it.#says it goes against all the values they hold#and the power that jews who stand against this genocide have#ill just be forever grateful to their bravery to stand against these horrors even though it could alienate them from their peers.#even though i know now israel tries to integrate itself as much as it can in the jewish identity.#how they affirm that netanyahu does NOT speak for them#but the circles everyone keeps running in talking about whether or not israel IS committing genocide (it is)#or whether its committing war crimes (it is and many times over)#how worldleaders wont even say the word ceasefire like its fucking cursed#i feel like we're all being collectively gaslit#I just can’t comprehend all this suffering and having the power to stop it and not DOING ANYTHING#israel#gaza#free palestine#palestine

i love comparing pokédex entries for the same mon between different games bc almost all of them will be very brief, matter-of-fact, purely scientific without any first person pronouns or personal information about the author. and then you get to the legends arceus entries and laventon’s writing stuff like ‘ngl i still don’t understand this species’ ‘i tried petting this pokémon once and it bit me’ ‘i live in fear of this thing’ ‘man i miss galar. who said that’
#pokémon#legends arceus#pla#pokémon legends arceus#pokemon legends arceus#out of all the professors he’s one of the most human#like you can tell it’s him scribbling down notes#he really is studying this stuff#as opposed to simply like giving you an app that’s already connected to an existing worldwide database or w/e#like this is a man experiencing this for the first time#hall of fame i guess#pokeposting

#American politics#Biden harris#Jumblr#kamala harris#kamala 2024#us politics#election 2024#2025#israel palestine conflict#pro palestine#Like yes things are not ideal politics is complicated. That’s why you vote for the BEST AVAILABLE OPTION RIGHT NOW#I can already tell what some of the braindead takes are gonna be like “we were just using out votes to oppose facismmmmm”#Omg well if deMoCrAts haven’t been silent for 7 yearsssss#The amount of arrogance you have to have to have these sort of takes as you take the freedom of minorities and women hostage#The republicans won’t be silent for 7 years. They’ll be actively campaigning for your blood. Hope that’s better.#Keep reassuring each other that you did the right thing. Keep patting yourselves on the back. Hope it’s all worth it.#Yes protest but goddamn use some COMMON SENSE????#And ANOTHER THING why wasn’t the rights of women an acceptable enough reason to ENSURE orange man doesn’t take office??#The way that some people can be this selfish and unable to care about others if it doesn’t immediately benefit them#the sad thing is I know this won’t change their minds or attitudes they will continue to blame everyone else and take zero accountability#No matter how you feel about Kamala nothing you say will convince me that letting trump win is a better alternative. NOTHING.

i'm one hundred percent certain that after percy and annabeth made out underwater. and he wanted to make their relationship official. the question was not "will you be my girlfriend?" but "can i be your boyfriend?" i don't care what the canon says. percy gave annabeth the space to take the lead in the relationship. because after a lifetime of being abandoned by everyone she dared to care for. and then watching her on the brink of a panic attack at the thought of losing him the last four years. he wanted to honor a new beginning between them by follow her lead and moving at her pace.
#i will not accept another answer#(i'm easily persuaded)#i don't care what the canon says#(unless it was exactly this in which case that was good story writing)#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#pjo headcanon#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#percabeth headcanon#percabeth fluff#percabeth cute#percabeth romantic#percabeth rant#but in all seriousness#he for sure did this#not bc annabeth is a controlling partner like percabeth-opposers claim she is#but bc she is a girl who experiences love the same way the moon feeds off the suns reflection#never knowing truth warmth#only it's echo#and percy intends to make her feel like she's his entire world#like she's the reason the sun shines so brightly#so fuck off
