honestly feel like you can't fully understand why the nhl functions the way it does unless you have an in-depth understanding of american conservatism specifically. like. the nhl is run by a collection of people who function on conservative nostalgia, purposeful obtuseness, and a direct opposition to progressivism. they're the type of american traditionalists who think that we should go back to the good old days when people respected their elders and didn't think too hard about things like civil rights or what equity actually means. they believe in a homogenous culture of assimilation and obedience, and they rely on the people within that culture to perpetuate it via mutual surveillance. it's what the wealthy white american right has always been, especially since wwii and the cold war after it. and it's what the nhl has always been. it's a culture that is determined to keep itself locked away in the 1980s while the world around it evolves, and as it grows farther removed from the world it exists in, the more reactionary it gets. it's fucking. every 70 year old republican senator who refuses to step down until they keel over dead in congress. that's it. that's all.
So I've been playing Echoes of the Eye for a while now, and I still have a lot to discover but as the resident furry/monsterfucker I have to say, I'd 100% kiss the owl people. They're tall and scary, which honestly would be enough for me, but also they're weirdly polite and make some banging tunes. They look like they're very soft to the touch, and like they're great huggers. Overall 10/10 creatures
actually my favorite thing about Merlin and Toast is how in one of the later episodes Merlin actually does yank Toast off of Cas when Toast attacks her for no reason, however in episode six he doesn't intervene when Toast attacks Cas after the face mask thing, SO we can say with certainty that Merlin will only try(keyword: try) to stop Toast from attacking someone if it's unjustified, and that if it IS justified he will absolutely stand back and refuse to intervene while his feral pregnant uh...girlfriend? partner?? weird roommate with benefits??? kicks the shit out someone, even if that someone is one of his younger siblings
(and that leads into my other favorite thing about them, that he is incredibly supportive of her kicking the shit out of people and will, in fact, go to battle alongside her if the situation calls for it)

[VD: Transformers Earthspark clip of the Malto's (The human father, 2 human kids and two bot kids), Bumblebee and Optimus meeting the three new terran transformers (each unique in size and shape, but still in their protoforms, which have more nondescript soft shaped details, in white, metal grey, and glowing blue).
full transcribe below
The Malto's emerging from a collasped cave. Bee walks over them, kneeling, reaching out: Oh thank Primus your alright.
Mo Malto (the human daughter), clinging to her Dad's (Alex) side: Mr. Optimus, we... we lost the emberstone.
Optimus makes a sorrowful expression, Bee nods in understanding. They both gasp as the three new terrans pop out from under the cave's rubble.
Optimus, joyful: But look at all you've gained!
Bee: More terrans!
Optimus goes on one knee to be at better height to greet them: Welcome, young ones. I am Optimus Prime. It warms my spark to meet you. What are you're names?
The terrans all look at each other and shrug.
Robby Malto (the human son) looks to the flashing cyber sleeve on his hand: She's... Hashtag!
The largest of the terrans crouches in front of him, excitedly. She has a visor: [Gasp] You're right! Oh, I didn't have a word for my name, just a feeling!
The shortest and chunkiest of the terrans gestures nervously with his hands: Well, what am I called?
Mo, gasping, walking forward: His name is Jawbreaker! (She takes on of his fingers in both her hands) My favourite candy!
Jawbreaker, softly squelling: Really?!
The remaining terran, tall and narrow, bows theactrically: And I am Nightshade! It is a delight and a surprise to mean you all!
Alex, solemnly: Not all of us, [picking up a name tag reading "Malto"] Mandroid still has Dottie.
All four of his children come in to hug him. Jawbreaker, looks around, upset and clutches his head: [Noise of upset] How do we make the bad feelings go away?
Roddy: We have to save Mom and Megatron.
Twitch Malto (bot daughter), shaking her head: Mandroid is no joke. We barely escaped last time we met him, (nervous gesture, upset tone) and only because... Mom saved us.
Nightshade steps forward: We don't know this "Mom"... [Places a hand to their chest] but we feel your love for her burning through our hearts.
Hashtag, steps forward and points to her chest with a thumb: We want to help!
Jawbreaker, stepping forward, timid: If you'll let us?
All the Malto's smile, touched. Mo runs forward and jumps into Jawbreaker's hands. He catches her and brings her up to hug.
Mo, resting her cheek and hand on his chest plate, looking up: Thank you.
