#group project from hell

[torpublishinggroup]

“Two is for discipline, heedless of trial; Three for the gleam of a jewel or a smile; Four for fidelity, facing ahead; Five for tradition and debts to the dead; Six for the truth over solace in lies; Seven for beauty that blossoms and dies; Eight for salvation no matter the cost; Nine for the Tomb, and for all that was lost.”

why'd he spent EIGHT MINUTES of our total twelve across TWO SLIDES

what is your fucking aversion to emails.

'oh they won't see it' 'oh they see so many emails they won't reply to ours' what the fuck do you think the purpose of a management branch is.

OUR PROGRAMMER DELETED OUR PROJECT GITHUB TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DEADLINE???? We have a few nearly done versions but. Aa. Esp bcus he was the main one doing stuff ? Anyway. I can’t access it so i have no way to add my shit to the project. Giggling running through field tearing the land asunder ect. So fun.

the radiant emperor series may be a buddy comedy, but it is also the worst group project ever. zhu and ouyang spend most of both books working towards the same goal in very different ways. a fraction of this is actually spent working together. ouyang fucks off halfway through hwdtw to do the thing they agreed to HIS way. they attempt to kill each other several times.

as yet unsent modern au but its just that judith coronabeth and camilla have a group project for an undergrad poli sci class. comparable levels of torture to being held in captivity.

I just donated to the archive for the first time and I'm weirdly excited about it??? I did some babysitting over the weekend and it's really not much like I think about 6 USD (but in my defence I'm in NZ so it was 10ish for me) and anyway bi buck went cannon today and I submitted a uni assignment this evening so maybe I was just riding the high but it was an impulsive decision I feel really good about!!

thrilled to present this context-free snippet from a forthcoming piece of short fiction featuring our best pal and also the gal we're all frightened of and/or pathetically smitten with

[pepprs]

prefacing this by saying im fine and its whatever and im mostly numb to it. but it kinda fucking sucks that being gaslit about my own sexuality leads to… doubting my own sexuality lol!

what frustrates me with a lot of the takes on jod is that they keep trying to flatten him into just a remorseless megalomaniac, and it feels like such a … self-interested interpretation? because the point of jod is that he knows that, how, and why all the things he did were wrong, and the entire time he’s been jod, he’s felt the emotional turmoil of that — but he keeps making excuses for himself.

you don’t need to excuse an action you think is actually good and correct. he knows he’s done bad things, but he thinks he had good reasons or at least the circumstances were such that no one could blame him. and that’s what his nona chapters are — his confession. he saw himself in harrow, so he thinks she’ll agree with him, and he wants her to know what he did and then tell him ‘it’s okay, i understand why you did it, you did the best you could’ because he knows he’s done atrocious things and believes there can be no forgiveness.

all he can do under that belief is double down and hope to be excused, so of course that’s what he does. owning up to his own actions would involve admitting he did something wrong, and if forgiveness is impossible, then there’s no coming back from that, and even if nobody can impose external consequences or punishment on him, he’d feel it internally and punish himself with guilt. because his moral compass is actually working fine, he’s just convinced himself that it’s okay he isn’t actually going north because 10,000 years ago, someone made him so angry that all the needles looked red.

which, ime, tracks much better with how real people behave than the classic villain act. most people know what they’re doing is wrong on some level, they just feel like they have a good enough reason to flaunt that moral rule in that instance. they’re not right. they’re excused.
