#do i risk my anonymity?

[wobinbug]

Got all my work for the semester submitted!! 🥳

I'm hopeful for high grades, but I'm mostly happy to have some time to chill out. Basically all of my tutors have said I've exceeded their expectations, so it feels well-earned 😁

can i ask why ur getting the surgery? /gen curious /no hate

i am getting a bi(lateral)salp(ingectomy) bc i never want to be pregnant or be a parent!

Even if i do change my mind later about the parent thing (not super likely but things can change, sure) theres noooo shortage of single parents lmao

And even if I never End Up In The Circumstance(s) Where I COULD Become Pregnant in my life, I'd want the peace of mind anyway...

I've always felt disgusted that this is something my body is capable of. I want it to be MY body and not a site and vessel for potential tragedy in any direction. And I want it to be something permanent and not dependent on access to services/medicines or even laws!!! Dis is a gender affirming surgery for me honestly...

I think people should be offered mental health alternatives before considering tattoos. Piercings as well. Only someone who's sick in the head would consider altering their body in such a dangerous way. Even adults should be forced to go through a two year psych evaluation before they're even presented with the option to get any kind of facial piercing.

I mean the possibility of nerve damage alone. Anyone who would be willing to undergo the risk of full facial paralysis MUST be some kind of mentally ill pervert freak.

youre being satirical but what you dont know is "is getting a tattoo a form of self harm" was a discourse on radblr a few months ago, where some people agreed that therapy should be offered before people get tattoos or at least if theyre getting a lot of them

I have realized a very interesting thing about the relationship between tanguish and the hels witch is that is a place where everyone is running out of time he’s the one with long term consequences

I would argue many of them have long term consequences! But you're right Tanguish is definitely the one Going Through It with consequences right now. Mostly dealing with other people's but his are also thrown in there for good measure.

Definitely dipping into "the single immortal languishing at the mortality of others" vibes.

#as of right now im still not including the 9 Rings in my world building because they make no sense

Aww, that's too bad, but i get it. The 9 circles have a lot of fun story potential, but I can understand not wanting to try to incorporate something into your world building if it doesn't make sense to you. At the end of the day, you're the writer of these fics. So if something doesn't make sense to YOU, that's going to make it harder for you to convey it to your readers. Writing is hard, so you should do what you have to to make it less so while still being fun on your end.

But may I make a suggestion? How about you put a pin in this whole Circle thing and set it aside to mull over again later? I think I recall you mentioning that chapter three is going to go over Pentagram City world building stuff, so i can see why you might want to have some of this information hashed-out. But unless locations like Imp City are absolutely VITAL for this upcoming chapter, maybe put that off for later? Save that info for a future installment? Maybe all you need for everything to click into place is for another little lore tidbit to come your way, like with Andrealphus' palace?

I know I tend to get stuck on world building stuff too (ive tried my hand at DMing for my dnd group, believe me i know exactly how easy it is to get stuck on tiny world building details) The best thing to do when that happens to me is to step back for a bit and come back later with fresh eyes. Perhaps that'll help here too? If not, again, your the writer. Do what's right by you😁👍

The thing about world-building is that it is subject to change based on what fic I'm writing or what I need it to be. Even if I'm not including the 9 Circles in my base Hellaverse World Building, it's definitely something I'm keeping on the back-burner in case I do ever decide to incorporate it in a fic.

I'm not opposed to the 9 Circles being a thing, I just have a hard time making sense of it. There are a lot of ways to make it work, but so far, none of them work in a way that satisfies me. Fic 5 of Just Kiss Already will be the first deep-dive into the world-building I've concocted for the series, but most of that will be surrounding Cannibal Town and a specific punishment I came up for all the cannibals. It is Hell, afterall. It's meant to punish the wicked, and I like the idea that that comes with specific punishments for specific Sinners that's utilized in a way that punishes ALL Sinners.

I'm debating on whether I should make the world-building post for Cannibal Town now or wait until Fic 5 drops. It's one of my favorite headcanons because it explains how Hell kept the population under control until the Exterminations began (in somewhat recent years) and it gives me a lot of Alastor angst to work with, which is always a top my top priority.

sounds like your parents want to to stay with them at home sadge, is it possible for you to get into a good uni at a place where they can't find you and get a secret job there? from what you post youre likely smart enough to be able to get a scholarship and those usually cover the first year,

hm do you have any family you can go to for living expenses that won't immediately report back to your parents? like a grandma or an aunt or a cousin, or maybe your friends family?

Taking the other family members out of the way because- they wouldn't work. I don't think it's this tragic yet. They definitely don't want me to move out but they at least compromised enough with the "being sent to a monastery" thing, so, I'm pretty set as university and places to stay go? It's just food and utilities that are an issue. University doesn't cost much here but I definitely don't have the money to rent a place and campus-apartments look at your family's average salary to decide if you get a free place or not and my family's... decently well off. Enough that I wouldn't get a free scholarship.

If it comes to it I'll get a secret job because I'd rather not starve, and pray they don't find out? Something like that.

If Rhaenyra had accepted the Green's terms do you think peace is sustainable or would it have just delayed the inevitable war?

IF rhaenyra accepts the green's terms it would be delaying the inevitable. she might accept to keep the realm united for the coming long night and to keep her family safe, but many if not ALL of her supporters would not agree at all. beginning with daemon, the lords, and even jace if we take the deleted scene as canon. i don't think there would be conflict right away, daemon would not attack without rhaenyra's leave knowing their sons might be in danger.

i mean, i do think daemon is capable on going on a suicide mission to rescue baby aegon and viserys, but the cost might be too high. i'm not discarding any attempts at rescue though because that's actually the only thing that stays rhaenyra's hand AND daemon's, but this issue might turn contentious between the two and eventually split them under the pressure. which would mean that daemon has even less direction and support (murder suicide good ending). daemon IS the wildcard in this but predictable enough to know that his motivations, more than a crown for rhaenyra is to have their family again.

if none of this works and daemon doesn't manage to rescue the kids and rouse rhaenyra once again, the war is delayed to the next generation. we saw jace was not happy about rhaenyra's decision to be lenient with otto and to even think about accepting the green's peace terms. he would not act against her, he would want to please her more than anything, but the loss of status is a very dear one. from prince to mere lord of a nothing island. his mother lowered, joffrey left to claim what he can and his younger brothers hostages (luke, as always is pretty fine). and not only that, but feeling completely humiliated by people who were never ratified as heirs by the previous king.

i do think there could be something that jace might do in this situation, esp if there is support from the thwarted lords and daemon. methinks jace would not be so easily swayed back to claim the crown, but i do think it would be masked first as a rescue mission and then well... we don't have anything to hold us back why don't we invade? rhaenyra has the better claim yadda yadda and every piece of ideological justification. this i think might wait until rhaenyra's death (again, jace would not displease her in this way, she's his mom and lady) and that could mean and older more experienced jace or his children with baela. all this if aegon/alicent/otto/the council has not decided to eliminate the rest of the claimants quietly now that they hold the key.

honey just start a side blog to talk about those things if you want to talk about them 🧡

i know this is the obvious answer but believe it or not i simply have what you might call side blog related trauma lmfaooo isn’t the internet a wonderful place

[torgawl]

do you think part of the reason diluc still struggles with his resentment towards kaeya is because kaeya is more like what crepus wished diluc to be? crepus was so proud of diluc for his accomplishments as a knight and lived his dream through him as well and we know how much crepus' approval meant for diluc, more than any title or doing. i sometimes wonder if diluc feels hurt knowing that kaeya gets to live the equivalent to his past life as a knight as if nothing happened when he had to make sacrifices for his own peace of mind and sense of justice. i wonder if that's what pains him the most, not the fact kaeya ommited the truth about his past for so many years but having felt like he was the only one who cared to do something regarding his father's death and who showed any sense of uprightness when confronted with the knights' request to cover their mistake and negligence. i always think about how diluc might have felt like everything was a lie and his sense of betrayal. but maybe that didn't matter as much as having the support of his brother and someone he could share his pain with would have mattered. maybe the worst thing wasn't what kaeya did but what he didn't do; maybe it was never about his actions but the lack thereof.

Having worked in the veterinary field for 5 years, I have seen a lot, know a lot, and can confidently say: only assholes let their cat(s) roam outside in urban residential areas.

There's a cat who has started hanging around on my balcony at dusk, and listen... I want to find this cat's owner (assuming it has one and is not a stray) and politely punch them in the throat.

I love cats. I have two, and they are my children. I love cats more than anyone, which is exactly why I don't want your fucking cat on my balcony. I want you to keep your fucking cat where it belongs (unless it's on a leash or being actively monitored by you): inside.

Cats endanger local wildlife and ecosystems - they wreak havoc on songbirds (did I mention that my garden is planted to attract birds? because it is). Local wildlife and ecosystems also endanger cats - in my region, there are coyotes, bats (who carry rabies), parasites (fleas, ticks, roundworms, tapeworms), poisonous wild and ornamental plants (too many to list), not to mention human threats like oh, I don't know, cars. Plus, other free-roaming cats.

My cats are indoor only. They are indoor only for all the reasons above. I like to keep my balcony door open with the screen door closed during warm weather so that my cats (and I) can enjoy the sights and sounds of birds and fresh air, without them endangering the wildlife or being endangered themselves.

People who feel it's appropriate to put their own cat at risk and put songbirds and the local ecosystem at risk and infringe upon others' right to peacefully and safely enjoy their own property, only to turn around and make ignorant statements like "Cats will be cats! Mind your own business!"...

Those people are assholes, and they can kindly get fucked. Your business is my business now, bitch. Hope your poor cat doesn't get killed by a coyote, but let's be real...it probably will.

I'm just..very sad and pathetic today. Sad and pathetic hours.

[dihalect]

so. i am in a masters program in [computer science specialty]. we have an option to do a thesis in our final semester. and a friend of mine wants to do one. it's by far the best option for their academic career. they have an excellent idea for it, and a professor who's enthusiastic about advising it. the problem is, that professor is in the computer science department, not [computer science specialty]. and according to the current department chair, that's completely unheard of. absolutely can't have a non-[specialty]-department professor advise a [specialty] student. (never mind that the [computer science specialty] department is a part of the computer science department.)

thing is. current department chair simply does not like this friend, because of a bullshit academic disagreement. she DOES, however, like me. i have oodles of rapport with her. i have half a mind to ask her if i could do a thesis like the one my friend wants to, just to see how she responds.

hi! idk if ur into dsbm but if so do u have any recs outside of like lifelover lol that seems to be trendiest band within the genre and i was looking to get more acquainted with it ! i feel it deeply inspired the foundations single too, with gerard having been spotted wearing a leviathan t-shirt at one point i believe and following xasthur on ig, it wouldn’t come as a big surprise honestly

hi anon! sorry this took me a bit to get to- totally slipped off my radar.

i am really not personally familiar with dsbm, the two artists I've spun and enjoyed are limited to None and Kekht Arakh but overall it's not a sound i reach for/have a ton of knowledge about. ive heard good things about bethlehem! though theyre not entirely dsbm, just sort of foundational to its development.

but i agree with you about foundations here- the production and sound is honestly a huge soup of stuff, not any one thing. but that current preoccupation Gerard has with the like. one man black metal scene (he mentioned watching that omm doc which features both leviathan and xathur in a podcast but for the life of me can't remember where) totally factors in, especially in the cultivation of atmosphere in the static (similar technique for a different effect)

you can't go to the bathroom when you want ? :((

Previously I lived in a house with 1 bathroom and 5 people so it was always occupied or always an ordeal of someone hanging on the door as soon as I was in there- or opening it without knocking if I forgot to lock the door. I could only shower in the middle of the night and even then I risked someone needing to go and, while half of my family members were willing to go while someone is in the shower, I was not and so I would rapidly rinse my hair and wrap up in a towel and flee. Being the only person home was rare but a blessing and the level of freedom I am aspiring to when I finally have my own place.

Currently I live in a house with 1 bathroom, 3 people and 3 dogs. The 3 dogs are the bigger issue here as I don't handle them super well- two are untrained puppies who jump on me and bite me, and while I know it's normal puppy behavior, it's scary and hurts. I don't feel comfortable trying to train someone else's dog and especially not disciplining them, so I just try to ignore the dogs and keep my hands and face away from them. My housemates who own the dogs shout at them when they see them jumping and biting, which... Feels like shouting at me, since it is in my direction and I'm letting it happen. I also don't believe shouting at the dogs in any way helps deter them. The shouting stresses me out at best and triggers me at worst. I'm just trying to get from my room to the bathroom and I am being jumped on, bitten, barked at, and yelled at. ...so you might understand why I have to wait until I am in a sturdy enough mental place before making the trek, or wait until they are sleeping or have gone out somewhere.

So, like, no one is stopping me from going to the bathroom ever, there are just a lot of obstacles and my baseline anxiety sits too high to cope with All That a lot of the time. (I have on occasion resorted to things I am not proud of because I know dealing with the banging or the shouting just isn't something I'm going to be able to handle in the next couple hours)

But I have a plan and I'm working hard and eventually I will have my own place. Soon soon soon I will be able to have a whole little home where I am not hiding from anyone and I can cook whenever I want and shower whenever I want and walk around my home in peace. If all goes according to plan, which it never does but I can hope, 3-6 months. Then I can finally, finally, finally have my own space.

ngl i think ashton is treated the same as beau was. people laud their character development of becoming nicer when it's really a cover for "finally, they're not a hysterical angry bitch anymore!" which you can tell because a vast swath of post-campaign content assigns beau the role of "background lesbian". obviously ashton is not a woman nor a lesbian but i do remember people more or less ignored them until they started to be nicer, and thus more palatable and shippable with laudna or orym

yeah lol i mean i remember seeing so many "oh i like Ashton now???" posts in the tag in the last 15 or so eps, especially after their post-reunion sea change. which like on one hand, fine! i cannot blame anyone for not vibing with someone clearly meant to be caustic and offputting, both on a character creation level and also as an intentional front in-character, even if Ashton and i are similar enough that it's like, i do not think you'd like me in real life, or at least me from 5 years ago. and i think it's based and epic to like characters who suck so bad, and i think some people just refuse to engage further with a character who is unlikeable or overtly flawed, which is how we get people who stan the Only Sane Man Moral Compass Hero's Journey version of Orym. but i also get that there’s a difference between a character being unlikeable in a way that's appealing and a character being unlikeable in a way that one personally finds fucking unbearable. it's a noble and difficult goal to enjoy and analyze a character in the latter category (this is a grand experiment i'm trying with FCG), so like if ppl can't do it i prefer them not saying anything until they have something nice to say, i guess.

But with all that being said, there are still big obvious chunks of Ashton's story that ppl mostly ignore or brush over. Namely their recent antipathy towards the gods, interest in the primordials not just for backstory reasons but as a source of identity and meaning, and reclaiming of Hishari imagery. i think there's this assumption that the ideas and beliefs Ashton is embracing right now are a temporary stop to his real destination as like, Champion of the Luxon Who Thinks The Gods Are Alright? or at least, if not a response to where they think he's going, then one to where they want him to go, because they think the persepctives he's currently embracing are Inherently Bad and Incorrect and that the narrative should/will correct him. (shoutout to the post i saw that suggested Ashton's hero arc was a reaction to them realizing they did the wrong thing in Hearthdell but not wanting to admit it lol. amazingly bad post)
