@ghostlycoze @crows-junk-pile thank you for the asks and your interest in my au!!!

I think the most depressing thing that’s happened in my life over the past couple of months is watching an otherwise intelligent friend descend into paranoia and conspiracy. maybe ex friend now, because I don’t feel all that inclined to talk to him these days, but it’s still sad to be a bystander to this who can’t help even if you try to intervene.

Guys how did we cycle back to mean-spirited or passive-aggressive comments on fanworks not only being normalized but also as something people should accept lying down for literally any reason? If I wanted unnecessary concrit, I’d go read passive aggressive sticky notes left on the office fridge. It is rude to randomly critique or downright insult someone’s hard work done out of love for a fandom, actually!

Smallest little pnf!! :D

This is from a very self-indulgent au that I've only hinted at in tags, it's an irl au were the only different is that Punz is a euplerian!

I read 500 pages today. Five hundred.

What is wrong with me, why do I do this. Why can't I just enjoy books at a normal pace?

the blog turned 6 months old yesterday, and one thing hasn't changed in my head in this 6 months: I still think there is no point in it, like genuinely tumblr is not a place for a blog if you like G0dr!ck / are a creator for him

Does Steve have the best redemption arc in TV, or does he simply have the loudest?

thesis: for all that it's weird about things like food and elitism and government secrecy, sharlayan must be at least kind of normal about sex and relationships or otherwise people wouldn't be constantly being like "HEY warrior of light did you know alphinaud GOT IT ON at the studium??"

antithesis: due to extratextual restraints, no one close to the player can be either confirmed or denied to even have romantic tension in-universe with anyone else. both y'shtola/runar and thancred/urianger are examples of dynamics that are affected by this, where the parties can only be repeatedly indicated by the story to be Nebulously Close to each other because everyone in the story close to the WoL must be able to be in a relationship with anyone and no one. thancred is even suggested to have stopped having casual hookups at some point since ARR, in part because urianger dunks on him about it. read by itself and not as an expression of extra-textual restraints, this suggests the party, almost all culturally sharlayan, are kind of weird about relationships.

synthesis: because sharlayan is literally just a giant college town and basically everyone works for the university-government, its people have arrived at a cultural double standard on this point. while as a cultural and political matter, sharlayan sexual and romantic norms are more or less do what you want, live and let live, as a professional matter you gotta have that shit on lock once you get your archon mark. it's necessary to keep every single matter of state and society from descending into an avenue for grad student cohort incestuous bullshit. you can still court and love and marry and hook up with whoever, no one cares, but you must keep it to yourself. your juvenile relationship drama will not imperil my grant application!

Oh? You’re worried about being accused of being a bigot? Did you complete the anti-discrimination training that was 30 minutes long? No? You thought it was stupid and too much work? Interesting, interesting…

I realized why Zionists treat accurate reporting on Israel's war crimes as an existential threat.

Because I have never once heard a Zionist bring up crimes, real or fabricated, committed by Palestinians, except in the context of justifying violence. Palestinians in Gaza are "victims" of Hamas, so it's really for their own good that Israel placed them under blockade for sixteen years. Hamas killed some people in Israel, so everyone in Gaza is a target. A child in the West Bank definitely stabbed a settler for no reason, and was certainly not coerced into a confession, so Palestinian prisoners in Israeli military prisons deserve to be tortured and starved and denied medical care and sexually abused.

The idea that we could be talking about Israel's war crimes, from Deir Yassin in '48 to Deir al-Balah this morning, not because we want a justification to commit mass murder but simply because we want the crimes to stop, just doesn't fit the Zionist paradigm.

My favorite part of YVOREGL/TerriByte is that every character is at least two characters. Alpha is 3 people, maybe more, sometimes they're all the same person. Sometimes characters become indistinguishable from one another. Sometimes a single character becomes 4 of them. I think Theta is 9 people max if you count them right.

I watched 1966's Gambit and found out there was a 2012 remake but honestly the only changes to the original Gambit I would want are to make Nicole actually Asian, have her fall in love with Shabhandar, and wipe clean the uncomfortable veneer of imperialism over the top of it

there are only so many times I can see the same wrong post on my dash before I start regretting not sharing the corrected version
