tbh my latest biggest theory for why HoO and onwards is such a dramatic drop in quality and consistency is just. Rick stopped making teaching guides.

Like, the Lightning Thief teacher's guide is SUPER in-depth with even stuff like sources about middle grade child psychology and exact specifications of where he's applying that, explaining what different character's goals/motivations are, their dynamics with each other and their environments, etc etc. Even specifying which specific myths certain plot elements are supposed to reference or be about.

That stuff just doesn't exist for later books. There's activity guides and smaller, significantly more simple teacher guides for later books but they don't go into anywhere NEAR the same level of depth. The TLT one is a full lesson plan that breaks down the book at every level and explains what's going on and more or less why Rick did that. The others are all basically just glossaries of terminology and some simple question guides.

And they didn't even use the TLT teacher's guide for the Disney+ show because they clearly aren't adhering to any of what's discussed in that breakdown of the book.

By creating a teaching guide alongside writing the actual book, that's forcing you to document what you're doing, why, your sources, and information about your characters and the story they're in. It's like an even more in-depth version of a series bible. But that's lacking for later books (and etc) and it shows because that level of thought and depth and attention just isn't there anymore.

Retconned Wardi firearms- a basic handgun, a highly decorative ceremonial handgun (belonging to Faiza), and a lance-gun.

Gun tech has officially been nerfed down to hand cannons (press F) (this has been a long time coming but I'd been fallacy of sunk costs-ing myself out of retconning).

Handguns are held similarly to a shotgun, with the butt pressed into the user's shoulder, one hand gripping under the barrel, and the other free to ignite the gunpowder. These represent the most advanced firearms in contemporary usage, both in make and in their use of uniform iron projectiles built to match the gun's bore for greater range and efficiency. Lance-guns are the more basal form, usually larger and mounted with the pole held over the shoulder, and are most effectively used by two people (one to hold and aim, one to light the gunpowder).

The spread of firearms is currently mostly limited to the Eastern Inner Seaway peoples (with some additional distribution via overland trade), and actual manufacture of hand cannons and gunpowder at Significant scale is limited to the region's core powers.

The reason for this limited spread is partially due to specific elements of the technology's history. Gunpowder was first synthesized by Burri alchemists and considered to be the discovery of the legendary divine weapon + solar fire of the deity Inanariya, and its formula (along with techniques for ideally refining its components) remained a closely guarded state secret. It was used predominantly in priestly contexts to generate flame and explosive sounds (in conjunction with earlier practices of generating multicolored flames with use of other chemicals), then integrated into combustible weaponry in the forms of fire lances, which would eventually develop into early handcannons.

The treatment of gunpowder as a guarded sacred or semi-sacred substance continued with Wardi adoption, where knowledge of its making is considered a closed rite. It's name (inya tsatsul or just tsatsul, a derived adoption of the Burri iñazatsūya) still reflects a divine solar association (the Burri word means 'sun's thunder', the Wardi 'inya' invokes the sun, 'tsatsul' is an adapted loanword and has no meaning independent of the substance itself), though its priestly use is now predominantly associated with the firearm'ed Odonii (rather than priests of the solar Face Inyamache). The composition of gunpowder can no longer be regarded as a Secret by any means, though efforts to obscure the methods of its creation are still moderately successful and has kept knowledge of gunpowder manufacture more limited than the total sphere of firearm usage itself.

The actual strongest limiting factor of firearm usage is the rarity of natural saltpeter deposits necessary for making gunpowder. The practice of actively producing saltpeter via nitraries has not been developed anywhere in the setting, and all is instead obtained via natural sources. These sources are rare and limited within the current spread of firearm technology, and result in gunpowder being a limited and expensive substance to produce. The weapons themselves are also very expensive to manufacture (a good quality steel SWORD is far too material-cost prohibitive for most people to own), particularly high quality firearms designed for use with standardized ammunition.

These guns are also very basal, and logistical difficulties in their use (weight, very slow loading and firing speed, high visibility, Relatively low reach and accuracy) along with the restrictive cost of production has kept firearms far from rendering conventional weaponry, armor, and projectiles obsolete (even within the societies that have access to them). They are still, however, very devastating in use within their contemporary context, particularly in that high quality guns have a longer range than the best arrow-based projectiles, and utterly negate most contemporary forms of armor at close range.

there's just this increasingly unpleasant vibe on this website i think where a pretty decent number of people will ostensibly self id feminists while still being really desperate at all times to find acceptable women they can hate and make fun of without reservation. both celebrities and normal strangers. and it's like, why. at the end of all things what is the point of taking the tenth 22 year old in a row whose influence stops and ends at a viral microblogging post where she's wrong about something and circulate it context-free declaring 'feminism is over' besides feeling better about yourself and your beliefs and your public speech acts

Eventually. Eventually I will manage to Actually Listen to dndads. In the meantime could I perchance get a doodle of some soft sasharcies 👉👈

Get You The Moon

“You are- you are the reason why I’m still hanging on.” Dick felt his heart skip a beat. “W-what?” He stuttered out, foot dangling in the doorway, back turned to his father. “You are the reason I’m still alive. Why my head is still above water. Why I’m still standing.” Dick slowly lowered his foot, turning back. He had planned to storm out. Had planned to tell Alfred “sorry but I can’t eat dinner tonight because i can’t stand to look at bruce rn, ill stop by again in a month and we can try again”. Because Bruce was just… so infuriating. But then he went and said what he did. “Why?” Dick breathed, scanning his father. Bruce looked so defeated, shoulders slumped forward, head hung, eyes closed, hair disheveled. He clearly had expected Dick to walk out. Had clearly expected himself to mess up. Bruce didn't open his eyes, as though he didn't want to watch Dick leave again if he said something wrong. “Because you were my shoulder to cry on. You made me laugh when I was losing my mind. You helped me to fight my demons. And you love me-... loved me, when I wasn't feeling it.” Dick couldn't breathe. Bruce finally opened his eyes, lifting his head. He seemed genuinely surprised when he spotted Dick still in the room. Something inside Dick broke for his father, no matter how much he resented the man for some things. “I love you Dickie. So much. If you wanted it, I’d find a way to get you the moon.” he laughed humorlessly. “If death was coming for you, I’d give my life for you.” Dick felt something tingling down his throat, though it certainly wasn't air. Bruce stood, achingly slow, and turned away. “You are the reason why I’m still here.” he whispered quietly.
