It's been rotating in my brain for a while, so I decided to compile my thoughts about the parallels between anaxa and sunday in terms of the way their writing, personality and themes align with one another. At this point, I don't believe this is coincidental.
Anaxa sees reason and emotion as coexisting concepts instead of opposing ends. he rejects himself but he doesn't reject his humanity. he rejects his life but doesn't reject his personhood. he debatably has more faith in his students than he does in himself, because he puts so much trust in them to continue his work. to question everything. to forsake everything. to prove everything he can because he has nothing to lose. he guards his theories with his life because its literally all he has left. and i just like how antideterministic it is. they're doomed but he proves its not humanity being doomed by the gods, its humanity's ability to both doom and save itself.
the parallels between sunday and anaxa are best summed up by these two quotes from their respective trailers:
sunday: knowing there were no gods who could save people unconditionally. to change anything, you can only rely on yourself.
anaxa: gods, decry it as blasphemy - if that is all you can do [...] we alone are the true gods of this world.
How can they believe there's such a thing as a god after all they've lost? A line that particularly stuck out to me in anaxa's stories was cerces's goading of anaxa, asking him if he prayed to the titans upon seeing his hometown ruined and his sister dead. It disclosed a deeper, more personal sentiment anaxa has towards the titans than a mere desire to erase their existence. For anaxa, forsaking the gods means to wrestle control back to humanity's hands, to his hands, in the face of an uncontrollably tragic fate.
In this sense, both anaxa and sunday must deal with a desire for control, doing so by getting their respective gods out of the equation. I think Sunday's words at the grand theatre are incredibly important to this point, and indicate just how similar (if, of course, different circumstantially) their characters and arcs are:
Sunday: My desire is not to resurrect a fallen Aeon, or become one myself... my sole objective is to create a paradise free from Aeons, where the Order ensures the dignity and happiness of all humanity. A paradise exclusive to us human beings".
Sunday, for all his religious theming and imagery, wishes to forsake the gods in favour of an order of safety, to be the sole person remaining awake to guard the dreaming. I think it's very interesting that thematically, anaxa is framed as chaotic, wishing to disrupt the status quo, a perceived opposite to sunday, who in fact shares many more similarities with his mindset than you'd imagine. They both want to liberate mankind from the gods, so their fates won't be inextricably tied to the gods' whims, having grown disillusioned with them. Here however, the stark difference in their methods comes into play: while sunday's desire for humanity's happiness is regrettably robbing it of agency, anaxa's desire for humanity to gain its agency back is knowingly robbing them of their faiths.
Sunday doesn't have faith in humanity's ability to overcome hardships, and in order to be their protector, he decided to usurp the role of a god - he saw horrors so severe, that he felt he had to shoulder their protection for himself. Sunday operates by his sense of anxiety which inadvertently disclosed his lack of faith, taking things into his own hands to ensure they will go as well as possible - he can ensure the success and happiness of humanity only if he takes the burden upon himself and sees it through with his own hands. He feels only he can, or really must, be the responsible person who can shoulder the burden of protecting humanity, which inadvertently strips them of agency. Meanwhile, anaxa's entire thesis is based on his own disillusionment with the gods and faith in humanity, that his plan and eventual usurping of the titan position was in service of proving humanity's agency over the titans by their being identical beings. Anaxa has so much faith in humanity, to the point of disregarding his life and physical existence and completely trusting his students to continue what he can't finish. The blasphemer is driven by faith in humanity, while the believer is driven by distrusting the gods.
To their respective ends, they both decide to pose themselves as antagonists in the eyes of the public in order to ascend to a higher position at the expense of their own lives and well being. They're both themed and viewed as performers of sorts (depicted in stage settings, the performer and the conductor), which on the surface level, epitomise sunday as an organizer, a puppeteering figure, a follower of Order, and anaxa as the wild stage performer, a soliloquy giver, disrupting the audience's understandings of the world into chaos. I contend, however, that the complete opposite is true, making these parallels all the more compelling. Sunday's performance is entirely puppeteered and driven by his sense of anxiety, desperation, and an urge to escape reality, not being able to withstand its horrors - the order hides personal chaos. On the other side of the coin, anaxa's performance is the epitome of calculated, an argument and theory decades in the making, meant to be his final proof so he can leave the world that pained him behind to his students to nourish and give a final sacrifice for his equivalent exchange - the chaos hides personal order.
These two opposing ideas disclose the paralleling approaches anaxa and sunday take in regards to their ideals, and their differences in mental fortitude and personality. Anaxa is very self assured that his method will lead to his desired outcomes, marches entirely to the beat of his own drum, passing his thoughts to his cherished students and trusting them to continue what he doesn't believe he can survive to accomplish. Sunday, on the other hand, is defined by his insecurity, being surrounded by the hostile environment of the family, the younger figure thrust into a position of power through manipulation, and being forced to conform to it. Anaxa's figure is that of a teacher, an authority, while Sunday was inherently stuck in the position of a novice political figure, forced to sway according to the authorities around him.
Probably one of the most dominant aspects paralleling anaxa to sunday is both of their incredibly meaningful and impactful bonds they share with their sisters. While in sunday's case his bond takes central stage and in anaxa's stage we can only infer based on the little that is mentioned about it, I think it is no less significant to a thorough understanding of his character and motivations.
In both cases, two young siblings are left to fend off for themselves as their parents either die at the hands of war (sunday and robin) or decide to abandon their children (anaxa and his sister). And as such, they're each other's most meaningful connections in the world. Sunday owes robin his dream of a utopia, her ever supporter because her happiness is his, cementing his dedicating his life for the sake of others. In a similar vein, anaxa owes his sister his education, his access to knowledge, to experiments, to what is going to shape his life ambitions. However, I think what ties these characters further together is this sense of debt towards their sisters, in a way that feeds their selflessness and becomes their central means to achieve their goals.
Anaxa, in what I can infer from his character stories, genuinely views his life as disposable after his sister's death. His philosophical emphasis on equivalent exchange is, in large part, a reflection of his guilt towards his sister and her sacrifice - allowing him to study at the grove, at the expense of her own life the moment he left. In order for him to be worthy of her sacrifice - or the exchange to be equivalent - he must give away everything in order to achieve his goal. He must continuously chip away at his body, and his spirit, while insisting on retaining his heart and person, in order to make her death have meaning, for the rules of the world to make sense.
They're both so riddled with guilt, to the point it becomes their driving force. Both of their most significant human connections were to their sisters, feeling such an intense amount of debt towards both of them, that this sense of owing encourages them to keep chipping away at themselves in a subconscious effort to live up to both of their sister's "sacrifices" (robin's is more metaphorical). The kindness they received makes them eager to sacrifice more and more of themselves, creating a core of guilt that serves as their motivation to keep losing themselves for their grander goal.
The following portion of anaxa's 'chrysos' volume drew more parallels between the two in a way I can only interpret as being intentional, at the foremost through the use of the songbird motif. While sunday's charmony dove allegory bears no need to repeat, and I could write about it for hours, the following quote by anaxa is meaningful:
anaxa: I once carved a songbird that miraculously flapped its wings and took to the sky, though it circled five times at low altitude before falling...
As it is explicitly told, sunday's turning point in his life and ideology was finding the charmony dove and having to confront the moral dilemma, a choice he viewed to be between freedom and security. His anxiety began to take root, as he had to watch the bird he nursed back to health attempt to fly again, and watch it plummet to its death, cementing in his minds that the weak, those he cherishes, are better kept secure than free. Ironically, he doesn't realise that he himself is stuck in such a cage, terrified of flying, and how his thought process ends up straining his relationship with the same person he so wishes to protect.
I don't think it's coincidental that anaxa chooses to emphasize the fact that the bird he manifested into life, also met its death a short amount of time after it was created by his hands. They're both left unsatisfied - they both must strive to do better, to either preserve life (sunday) or to create life (anaxa), so long as they can make sense of death. Both of these incidents end up solidifying and crystallizing their worldviews: they must sacrifice more of themselves in order to achieve their dreams. Be it a boundless utopia in sunday's case - posing himself as the sole guarding figure who shelters humanity from the terrors of existence regardless of the gods; or achieving transcendence and reaching an absolute truth in anaxa's case - by, similarly, posing himself as the one who must chip away at himself in order to prove, and give meaning, to humanity's existence regardless of the gods.
And perhaps most tragically, eventually, both sunday and anaxa were forced to sacrifice a part of themslves and lose the things they were most scared of losing. Anaxa, who was willing to sacrifice his physical well being, is forced to sacrifice his imprints on history and theory, sacrificing others memories of him, his legacy, his achievements. Sunday, whose drive for the betterment of others arose first and foremost from how much he cherished his only family, had to sacrifice his connection to her, the person closest to him, so he could protect her - they are torn apart, while ever present in each others' minds.
Something about these two, and their relationship to faith, the gods, their families, and worldviews, is deeply compelling in its similarity. They should meet up.

i love seeing the love that au creators have for the og undertale,,,,,, like you can see it in the way that SAS balances the pacing and characterization of og undertale with horrortale's themes and story direction!!!! you can see it in the several tweets calvateyla has just rambling about sans and undertale its so amazing and heartwarming to me 😭😭😭 like that's how i know that these aus were made with love and care for the creativity of the og game and added onto it with their own creativity ITS SO SWEET!!!! ITS SO SWEET!!!!!!
#i dont even care that much for og undertale anyways but i can recognize peak when i see peak#i didnt mention rahafwabas or killer yet because i've yet to look at any of his canon content for my archiving :3#(when i archive his shit ILL ALSO DO MY KILLER ANALYSIS ALONGSIDE IT!!!! HOPEFULLY XP)#but anyways i think this also adds onto why i love so much how the mtt are all continuation aus of sans undertale too#i know their aus are more than this simplification but if you simplify the mtt to BAREBONES (haha pun)#all the mtt are are just 3(well 5 but idk about the missing dusttale creators) people's different takes on 'sans but bad'#AND NO i dont think each are done well. all of them have their own reasons as to why they act so different from sans but also so similarly#and i love that. in each of the mtt you can see what makes them a SANS continuation#but also what makes them a sans CONTINUATION#you can see the connection to og undertale that the creators made sure to put the effort into keeping#but also the distinct difference and special touch of their own ideas!!!! which i love 💙💜❤️💙💜❤️💙💜❤️#i think it's most obvious with horror since horrortale is VERY MUCH SO a massive fucking parallel to undertale#but its also clear with dust and there's also parts of this connection in killer too#uaghahahahaha i love creativity i love the mtt i have so much respect for their creators theyre literally my biggest idols and inspirations#tricule rant

"Empty Calories"
I'm sure most people have heard of this term. It's most often used for carbohydrates, but I've also seen it applied to "sauces and oils" and almost all processed store bought food.
It has never made sense to me and i want everyone who reads this post to know that it is indeed a nonsensical term.
Now the first reaction to it from me is "Empty of what?" The answer to that is usually "nutrients". Nutrients being restricted to the nutrient group of choice of the person using the term, often vitamins and minerals.
Don't get me wrong, vitamins and minerals are great and many people don't get quite enough of them. But the people saying this type of thing tend to have overreacted and could usually benefit from some moderation, specifically the fact that you don't need to intake 3000% of your daily requirement of vitamins and minerals in every single meal. I am exaggerating that number for emphasis but only slightly. Plus most vitamins and minerals are water soluble so your body can't store them in large quantities. You just piss them out if you eat more than your body can use or store at the moment. And for the fat soluble ones: with the still widespread movement of a low or no fat diet people can't even absorb fat soluble vitamins properly so it doesn't matter how many they might eat.
Looking closer at the underlying logic that lies behind the usage of the term empty calories, it tends to be a fear of calories. Maybe they have progressed from trying not to eat anything at all but need a justification for what they allow themselves to eat, maybe they are trying to intensely maximise every single food intake for health benefits via vitamins or protein or whatever it is.
Whatever the specific logic is, the conclusion is usually that calories need a valid reason to be allowed inside their body.
So, what even is the point of calories? Do they need a justification for existence other than what they already bring to the table? (pun intended)
The point of calories is, of course, energy. And since taking in energy and building blocks for your body is sort of how we keep our bodies going to do the whole being alive thing, I don't see how "energy" by itself isn't already a valuable property for food to have.
To get into more specific examples: what is empty about carbohydrates? First of all, they often also contain a number of vitamins, minerals and protein as well. But secondly, they contain easily accessible energy. Which is of course a sin under the doctrine that energy is bad for you, but also makes this inaccurate on a definitional basis.
Food contains micro and macro nutrients. Micro nutrients we don't need a large quantity of, such as vitamins, minerals, etc. Macro nutrients are bigger quantity wise, and are carbs, fat and protein. And we do indeed need all three groups to keep up our body. Plus fibre but we usually can't absorb those nor are we supposed to, they're for the digestive tract.
When people say that carbs are "empty calories" it always confuses me. Empty of what? Empty of nutrients? They're literally one of the three macro nutrients. Empty of purpose? They have easily accessible energy. Empty of micro nutrients? Often not even, plus we don't need to consume our entire daily requirement of those with every meal. Side note, one of the purposes of food is enjoyment and the big bad scary sugar can certainly be useful for that.
One of the main applications of the term "empty calories" is processed food. Or specifically, (highly) processed store bought food (as opposed to the food processed at home i suppose).
And i agree that a lot of, especially highly processed, store bought food doesn't contain much micro nutrients and is maximised to be tasty (although that isn't bad, per se; pleasure isn't evil). But people also sometimes underestimate the nutritional contents of not instagram-photogenic store bought food (for example many frozen vegetables contain more vitamins and secondary plant substances than fresh vegetables who had a long way behind them). And while balance is important and yes, a lot of people don't could use some less highly processed food in that balance, one could, if one really cares about the topic, for example work to increase knowledge of home cooking skills and gardening. It is perfectly fine to get energy and macro nutrients from highly processed food. Because again, we won't wither like a petulant flower when we don't get all of our daily requirement of vitamins and minerals in every single meal. It is also completely normal to spread that intake not evenly over every day but in bursts, as we are evolved to. I am not a big fan of the current food industry, but demonising "empty" calories doesn't help change that industry or how it contributes to climate change and human rights violations and exploitation. Directly doing activism to reform the food industry might.
"But that is not how our ancestors lived and ate" first of all are you sure? Did you get that info from someone with cited credible sources and historical/archaeological research into diet and agriculture and common recipes 100 300 5000 years ago? Or from someone who sells a free pdf detailing how you can start your clean eating journey if you comment "course"? A lot of historical recipes were maximised to be tasty, to be high energy, or to use food that could be stored long term. They did have knowledge and skills about what they were doing but it wasn't some arcane mystical teachings that will bring us salvation cure you of all your issues.
Second of all yeah it's different. We are living in different times and we have a way higher population world wide that just can't be fed the same way anymore. Industrialisation has people in cities and a small number of people specialised in agriculture with big machines. This doesn't mean there aren't things that could do with some improvement in that system, but it's just different, not evil. Maybe learn about the fast food places and renter based apartment blocks in ancient rome 2000 years ago and realise that this is not some unprecedented thing, and you won't be easily influenced by people invoking a magical pure past to sell their stuff and get engagement on social media.
Im conclusion: what are empty calories? Usually all foods/food components that don't contain the specific group of nutrients, nutrients that the person making that claim has decided are valid as a justification for allowing calories into their body.
While actually, those calories aren't empty, they contain calories. And usually in high concentration, which is mighty helpful for taking in enough energy to keep staying alive, and the result of our ancestors working hard towards making food more nutrient and energy dense and hopefully also more tasty, so it may keep them alive with less effort. And isn't it marvellous that we now have such foods available to us?
I recommend anyone invested in the topic to get some available science education about the chemical base for what our food is made of, the biological processes in digestion, and what parts of the body all the various food components get used in. It's very helpful in learning to decipher what the health bloggers and "nutrition experts" are talking about and if they're just trying to sell you something.
Don't just believe my post either, google my claims. Read some more about the ones that interest or upset you the most.
#own post#empty calories#clean eating#i am also thinking about that post about the south American food scientists a few thousand years ago working hard to create the potato#the second last paragraph is especially relevant if the promised result seems just a little too good and the person promoting it is#unwilling to go into any details about how exactly it works. and appeals to your “common sense” and uses simplified evidence#i see so many scam artists or people who were successfully indoctrinated by those scam artists and now make content themselves who were just#unsure and overwhelmed with the available information and the million possible issues and worried about their health#it breaks my heart because they're being used as revenue and receptacles for ideology while being promised help and guidance

it’s tragicomic being into a version of Electra usually reduced to “Mettaton Train” but for absolute “trains have faces on Sodor becauae everyone has lead poisoning”-tier bizarre extrapolated reasons. Few understand just how tragic yet meaningful an electric train being 40+ and just slapping new paint on to make up for low budget is in the face of Amtrak history. Being incredibly outdated is sad rather than laughable when rail electrification is still actually futuristic in most of the US. Being a bitchy drag queen is much more unique and interesting as a reflection of annoying transit advocates, who are usually male but described in negative “feminine” ways. None of this depth could have been intended because any Brit who knew this much about trains would be an insufferable fountain of transit politics posts, which Mykal is absolutely not
(with this context Electra also goes from ~self-centered and superficial and terrible~ to “desperately compensating for decades of. Invisibility and negative PR and way too nice to the neoliberals and private railroads that have made their life hell since the 80s”)
#anyways never compare my depiction of electra to mettaton or i will mentally bite you because my inspirations are so much older#i don’t completely hate the idea of electra as a bad boss but i’ve very bleh on that direction vs based on actual 70s-80s celebrities#this is a weirdly common problem for a lot of similar characters where i like their canon portrayal for very different reasons than most#and am blah on most fan content as a result#hilariously true of electra where most of the earlier actors were great for wildly varying reasons but i don’t mesh with 90% of fanon#I’ll always maintain that some mix of MJ and Prince is the best way to simplify Electra because people give them the right nuance#the messiness and paranoia and some mix of being weird and childish or deliberately challenging is very train accurate#(I can go either way in terms of which you want to lean towards. They were rivals and very different but both are an accurate basis)

mentioned i made psychonauts ocs. here is my guy. he has different skills and different colored psi energy depending on "how he's acting/feeling", or at least that's how he says it.
Hes a janitor. Nothing too big.

companies, governments, and ISPs have been tracking pirated content/sites/programs since the peak days of irc and niche password locked forums and other more private/niche/small/quiet means of sharing pirated content. i promise you that they already know about whatever torrent or direct download or streaming site, or program or emulator that you're thinking of. if you could find it, a company's marketing and legal teams sure can. and if it's so private even seasoned pirates cannot find it, then it defeats the purpose AND the company with way more resources than you can still probably find it. come on now.
my point is, posting about piracy sites and programs simply existing is Not gonna get them taken down. trust me, they already know they exist. the reason multiple have been taken down in the past few years and caused a huge ruckus is because of two main factors:
firstly, people are pirating now more than ever. this was inevitable because of covid and shit economic reasons mainly. this isn't a bad thing on it's own and it rules actually. everyone should pirate. however, companies' greed is also higher now more than ever. this was inevitable because capitalism has always had a finite lifespan with a predictably bad ending. to the point, companies want to treat pirating as "sales lost" to an increasing degree. believe it or not this did not used to be as much of a thing. it was more useful for them to treat pirating as a way to gauge interest and potential sales in their product. companies still do this...on top of now actively trying to shut down pirating sites. because the economy is different, and now people can't just buy the thing once they have the money, because they're never gonna get that money living paycheck to paycheck. so company greed and the economy are the main factors here. this point is (largely if not mostly) why sites like archive are at risk.
secondly, people are posting about specific products you can get from these sites and programs. and not just any people: the creators of the sites and programs?! this is one of the most reckless things you could do cause it gives legal teams the exact excuse they need to finally shut something down. because, see! they aren't just hosting files, and they aren't just OUR files, they're also doing it ON PURPOSE!! sites and emulators have the flimsy excuse of "well we aren't the ones putting your stuff here, we're just an innocent little file sharing service" and "well i'm not the one making a rom of your game i just made a cool little thing that could run any rom file for pure and educational purposes." but as soon as that paper thin excuse gets torn it is no holds barred. this point is (mostly) why emulators like yuzu and media accumulators like tachiyomi got taken down (and why they can be remade so long as they keep mention of specific IP out of their goddamn mouths).
there's other factors of course and i guess you could argue that cumulative posting about like. zlib or rarbg or dolphin put them at more risk, but it is negligible compared to the two points above so long as tens of thousands of people weren't posting about using those things for a single specific product.
TL;DR: posting about a piracy site/program isn't gonna get you or them in any more trouble or alert the authorities (they have been alerted. for decades.) or whatever. just don't mention anything specific and you're fine (even then this is mostly an issue if the creator/host does it). and if you don't want to mention names but still want to share a link, point new people in the direction of r/piracy.
#ky speaks#i am VERY MUCH simplifying here yes yes there are more factors yes we still shouldnt shout from the rooftops or @nintendo#also the reason its a big deal is cause theyre bigger sites hosting a load of vital content#smaller piracy sites get taken down and mirrored (or not rip) ALLLLLL THE TIMEEE#like literally weekly basis lmao
