Top 5: Favorite Durgetash headcanons

Like my personal headcanons or ones I’ve seen?

Personal headcanons:

1. Durgetash were head over heels in love with each other, even if they expressed love in ways that seemed fucked up to everyone else. They were two incredibly lonely people that just clicked in all the right ways to make each other feel like at least one person out there cared about them, and they did.

2. Enver Gortash is autistic/ADHD and Durge was his favourite person to info dump on. I mean look at him. My wife is autistic and they have very similar mannerism and ways of thinking. (In the logical sense anyway my wife hasn’t killed anyone) Especially with how his parents described how brilliant he was even as a child, I can just imagine child Enver coming off as annoying and needy to everyone around him because he wanted to talk about his inventions and no one cared to listen. Durge, on the other hand, grew up in a temple where they were expected to behave a certain way and was essentially treated as a puppet, even if they could’ve called the shots how they wanted to. I can’t imagine being a child taken into a murder cult and feeling anything but fear, even if you don’t need to be afraid. Durge knew nothing but blood and death for years, and along comes this funky little guy that wants to rant for hours about the kind of metal he wants to build his steel watch out of?? Yeah. They loved that shit.

3. Enver is a pansexual monster fucker that will love your Durge no matter what. This man has been so lonely for so long that I genuinely think he doesn’t care what package the love comes in so long as he isn’t being used anymore. You’re a Dragonborn? Cool he can work with that. A tiefling? Excellent he’s gonna use those horns as handlebars. A cute half-elf that has a surprising appetite for blood? Absolutely and can he join the next blood bath please?? He loves seeing you work

4. Durge did not want to be Bhaal’s scion. I know a lot of people don’t like how the Durge opening makes it seem like they’re trying to “erase” that Durge was evil, but I view it more as perhaps Durge was never willing. Just because you’re fathered by a murder god doesn’t make you a murderer, and amnesia doesn’t really change who a person is, they just forget. Your brain literally just won’t let you recall memories. Now personally, I’m all for if you think your Durge hates everything about being the Chosen, or (like for my Durge) you think they just hated not being in control of themselves or allowed to kill as they please. Both are great mechanics for a well-rounded character, but I really think either way, Durge hated being what their father made them into, and would have jumped the moment they could escape. The prayer of forgiveness? A classic here’s my fake apology abusive parent so I can spare myself more abuse.

5. Enver whored himself out as a young man to get lots of power and money and he hated every second of it. We know it’s canon that he slept around a lot before the present day setting of the game, but I don’t think he ever enjoyed it. Not really. He grew up in the HoH where he was beaten and abused and nearly tortured to death on many occasions. He finally escapes with nothing to his name and once again he’s at the mercy of whoever he can convince to give him food, shelter, money, etc for the price of his body. This man absolutely has two wolves inside of him and one is a god complex and the other is an ego so crippled and fragile it’s a wonder he ever comes out of the house. When he meets Durge, he’s willing to manipulate them however he must to secure their alliance. He’s done it before, he’ll do it again. I think he’s so very surprised when Durge catches feelings back, when they go out of their way to take care of him, compliment him, even if it’s in their own fucked up fashion. I think the real sticking point for him would be when he and Durge are attending some high society to do together and they run into an old fling. Enver being upset and uncomfortable enough that they leave early and he tells Durge everything. The next day, and the following weeks, he finds severed hands, fingers, bloodied jewellery, all placed at his desk or beside his bed and he can’t help but smile. Durge bringing him pieces of their kills like a cat is so endearing to him.

I’ve got so many more but I think those are my favourite.

Without You

Tomura Shigaraki x Reader

{ you are the younger sister of a pro hero (I made up) who is ranked up high within the hero society with a quirk related to telekinesis. Told to try and follow the footsteps of her older brother with a quirk that isn’t quite as strong as his leads to some issues within her life but soon with some inconveniences and unfortunate events to occur she soon comes across a villain who took notice on who she was lead to their paths to be crossed more and more despite her efforts of preventing that to happen.}

—————————————————————————

Chapter 1

a few weeks prior

Haruki your older brother called out to you as he waved his hand in the air, the other holding an umbrella. Shifting your gaze to him you saw he was out of his hero suit for obvious reasons.

“I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you today, work was packed back at the agency.” He spoke as he held the umbrella under me. Nodding and gripping tightly the strap of your backpack and spoke, “I imagine it was, it always is. Big serious hero stuff and things.”

They both stood there waiting for the train to arrive. “You know..it’s never too late to—" he paused as you turned your head and gave him an annoyed glance. He sighed and look at all the people walking the streets.

“I’m serious sis. There are people who need your help, despite your quirk. You can help and save countless lives. And do so much more in the agency if you just—" Gripping the straps tighter and looking hard down at your boots you spoke in a low tone. “Haru, please we’ve been through this many times. Nothing will convince me to try again.”

Haruki sighed and saw the train from a distance as it made its way to them. “Well..just think about it yeah? I can easily fit you in since you’re my sister.” You gave a small nod and shuffled forward as someone bumped into you from behind. Making an annoyed snarl and making the person drop their belonging. You turned and saw a man in a black hood, crouching down picking up their phone and handing it to him. “Here.”

He made eye contact with you for only a second before his gaze shifted to Haruki, noticing he had red eyes. “You alright there sir?” Haruki spoke. You saw the shift in the man’s eyes upon seeing your brother, a Pro. The man huffed keeping his head low, muttered a curse or two before saying ‘Yeah.’

You noticed he had a surgically mask on to cover half his face, he looked back at you and then hurried off. “That was strange don’t you think?” Haruki muttered as he looked at the man suspiciously as he walked away and disappeared into the crowd. The train arrived, shrugging and speaking in a low and sluggish tone.

“No. Most people are like that.” Haruki rolled his eyes and followed her into the train and sat down. “Hopefully we don’t arrive late to Mama’s dinner. Or she’ll be upset.”

Nodding and putting on your headphones to block out the sounds of the world, the glance and eyes of that man never left you. Sure it was strange but you shrug it off deciding it was nothing.

Present

May rolls in and the Sports Festival at UA was all that the media and people talked about. Covering up the attack at the U.S.J a few days prior by the so called League of Villains. The heroes have been on high alert of anything and to distract the people with the Festival and not put too. much worry into the society. Inter-ships were soon going to begin within the agencies.

Walking down the streets of the city, you saw countless Pro-Heroes patrolling around and getting attention from the people.

‘You are fully capable of being a hero! You’ve done the inter-ship with your brother, license thankfully! Your brother can easily help you and guide you to be a hero!’

You sighed as you repeated in your head the words of your mother months after you graduated and quit trying to pursue the dream you’ve always had. To be a hero and save people. The U.S.J incident interested you quite a bit, more so that such a villain was able to cause an unexpected attack and plan it so well.

Part of you debates if you should go back to the agency and instead do research in of certain attacks or crimes that occur but that’ll be mean going back to how people looked down on you and only referenced you as the sibling in their brother’s shadow.

“Oh gosh I’m so sorry!” You hadn’t been paying attention and you stumbled backwards and fell. You looked up and saw a very apologetic green haired boy with freckles lending out a hand to you. “I-I wasn’t watching where I was walking! I’m in quite a rush. Are you hurt?”

‘Hey, it’s that kid from the sports festival and who was attacked by villains.’

Stretching your hand out and grabbed his to stand up, you rubbed off any dirt and spoke. “It’s fine. Don’t sweat it.”

“Hey woah you’re Y/n! You’re the younger sister of the Pro-Hero: MindForce!” He exclaimed happily. You blinked and now felt awkward as you nodded. “Yeah that’s me—"

“I heard you joined his agency after you graduated and were one of his sidekicks for battle! Your hero name is Force! Equivalent to your brother’s! You joined him on missions as defense and—"

Clearing your throat to interrupt him and spoke. “Wow you uh—know a lot don’t you? You’re that kid from the sports festival right?”

His cheeks turned slight pink as he was rambling before and he nodded rubbing his neck. “Y-yep! I’m sorry I rambled, I tend to do that, my name is Midoriya Izuku.”

You nodded “Y/n L/n.”

Midoriya nodded happily and quickly excused himself and left. Walking into the nearest convenience store to collect a few errands you needed and to an aisle. You took out your cellphone to check what exactly you needed. Pursing your lips and furrowing your eyebrows in a way as you scrolled, you felt a presence inch closer to you. And closer.

You shifted your gaze and saw two other people in the aisle, an elder woman and a man in a black hood. The elder woman gave her a soft smile, you gave in return and shifted your gaze to the man.

‘Couldn’t be that guy from weeks ago. I’m just overthinking.’

Going back to look at your phone, the presence felt that it crept closer and closer.

“Excuse me my dear.”

You flinched and saw it was just the elder woman. “My apologies to startle you but would you might know where…"

You gave her a small smile and helped her out the best you could, the man in the far right of the aisle shifted his gaze to you and the elder woman. Scoffing seeing the scene play out, he turned and left the store. Stuffing his hands into the pocket of his hoodie and walking to the nearest alley.

“Are you satisfied Shigaraki Tomura?”

He huffed and lifted a hand to scratch his neck. “No. She probably already knows what I look like. Get Giran. I’ll have him do it. Besides, it’s his job to get recruits. Has Sensei said anything?” Shigaraki said.

A purple warp gate opened in front of him as he walked through it. “No, Shigaraki Tomura. Not yet.”

Shigaraki sighed “I’ll phone Giran, I was told he would be bringing someone today.” Kurogiri said. Shigaraki sat at the bar sluggishly and annoyed.

“What troubles you?”

Shigaraki groaned and kept scratching his neck, “this is all taking forever. The heroes are being too calm and distracted by the sports festival. Barely payed any attention to our attack! Its pissing me off.”

Kurogiri sighed then spoke, “we have to be careful Shigaraki Tomura, just a few weeks ago you came across that Pro-Hero:MindForce. He could have arrested you if he recognized you—" Shigaraki scoffed. “But we hadn’t done anything thing. He barely even saw me, but that girl did. That brat probably told him and they’re investigating.” Shigaraki interrupted.

Kurogiri cleared his throat and began to dry off some glasses “Don’t you remember. She quit months ago. And she’s the younger sister of the Pro. Rarely anyone notices her, her quirk isn’t that strong at the moment.”

Shigaraki perked up by his statement.

“What do you mean, at the moment?”

OC Questionnaire

Thank you @tildeathiwillwrite and @willtheweaver for the tags! 👩‍💻

I'm answering for my main characters Nari and Abraham of Sanctuary Calling.

1. Is there any boundary you will not cross?

Nari: I would never kill someone. I would never sacrifice the things I love the most, like my hobby and dream job of aerospace engineering. 

Abraham: I would never kill, cause physical harm, or fight back even if someone is trying to hurt me. 

2. Do you believe that your government/laws are just? Why or why not?

Nari: Our government is controlling, but it keeps our community organized. I don’t like the restraints on my freedom, but I am a perfectionist. I love that my home is orderly. One part of me says I should say that our government is unfair. Another part says our government isn’t responsible for all of our problems. 

Abraham: In the town we live in, the elders are strict with enforcing the rules of our faith. I find it unfair when people are banished and I myself could be banished for following my dream, yet I think banishment is better than the cruel punishments of other societies. 

3. What does peace mean to you?

Nari: The things that anger people and cause heartache are gone. Our government claims to keep the peace, yet I feel if the government loosened up, less people would be angry.

Abraham: People willingly live humbly and peacefully, not out of force. Everyone understands the need to be humble and acts humble rather than worrying about the actions of others. The rest of the world is like my peaceful town because people pursue peace rather than revenge, anger, and pride. 

If you could change the past, would you?

Nari: Yes. Before the story begins, I would have changed the past to prevent my friend Soo from breaking up with me. During the story, I would change the past to not go on the journey that got me into this trouble.

Abraham: No, I believe as my parents do that it’s better to accept what’s done is done. What happens is God’s will and happens for a reason. 

Do you trust the ones supposed to protect you?

Nari: My parents are supposed to protect me. I trust them for the most part. They give me food and shelter. They raised me well. They care for me. Yet they want to control my life, telling me what I should be. I’m less happy with them each day as they try to control my future.

Abraham: My parents protect me. I trust them. They’ve never let me down. If there’s danger, I can depend on them. If I get hurt, I can depend on them. Our homestead is safe because of them.

Are you at fault?

Nari: I own my mistakes. If my plan has a malfunction or breaks, I check to see what I did wrong. I get myself into a mess that’s my fault, but I still have the right to be mad at those who helped get me there. Those rebels are still at fault for convincing me to join. My parents are at fault for making me want to get away from them. Our teachers are at fault for not honestly teaching how dangerous the earth is. Now that I think about it, I don’t own this mess as much as I thought.

Abraham: I’m expected to be honest and humble. Yes, I am at fault. But to be fair, my siblings are also at fault….

we don’t see very many sorcerers who don’t come from sorcerer families, but some exceptions are yuji, yuta, and geto—all highlighted characters in the story who weren’t born into jujutsu society.

(slight disclaimer: while you can argue that both yuji’s birth circumstances and yuta’s familial ties with the gojo clan were invisible strings that in the end tied them to the jujutsu world, geto is the only character out of the three who was explicitly mentioned to come from a non-sorcerer family and background, only having his cursed technique, but i digress.)

this shared quality shows; all three characters value community (their fellow sorcerers, their friends, their “family”) but they position themselves outside of their circles, centering their lives around the people they care for. they all have a strong sense of responsibility towards others that often isolates them, sometimes to the point of self-sacrifice.

how this manifests in each of them:

1.) yuji and every single thing he’s done up to now;

2.) yuta and his promise to rika in exchange for her strength;

3.) geto’s teenage ideals and the way he took on a new ideal that still centered around other sorcerers.

guilt, love, spite—all three simultaneously selfless and selfish.

i’m guessing this commonality has a lot to do with how their respective introductions to jujutsu felt like a second chance in life; enrolling into jujutsu high gave them a purpose.

for yuji, it gave him something to work towards after the death of his grandfather. for yuta, it gave him newfound hope in life. and for geto, we know of his sense of purpose as a student—“the strong protect the weak.”

(all three of their introductions having something to do with gojo, too; ironic, considering he’s also felt “alone” throughout his life.)

all four also need therapy; by god, you are allowed to live for yourselves goddammit!! you don’t need a grand purpose or to be a cog to be worthy to exist!! you’re allowed to just be!!

although that might be too late for geto.)

yuji and yuta are the protagonists in their own respective stories and we got to follow their journeys from before they came into contact with jujutsu, but geto was introduced to us as a student in tokyo jujutsu high. we don’t know what he was like before his enrollment.

i imagine having growing up in a non-sorcerer family and in a non-jujutsu environment had to have taken a toll on a young geto; at one point, he probably realized there was no use pointing out the “monsters” he saw to anyone because nobody else could see them. perhaps his sense of purpose started from there, this burden of being the only one to see what others can’t.

this childhood burden regarding non-sorcerers, along with his downward spiral in relation to non-sorcerers later on, probably accumulated into a lot of frustration and resentment, anger and helplessness, which sent him to defect from jujutsu high with a new path, no matter how unachievable the destination.

to enroll in a school with people who were just like him must’ve felt like a breath of relief. but he’s a stranger to this society, an outsider—unlike his friends. i imagine he tried his hardest to fit in and belong as a student, going so far as to become gojo’s moral compass, a guiding light for someone who was born the pinnacle of jujutsu. maintain, maintain, maintain. before and after his defection, he’s always had to constantly remind himself of what he was working towards—“the strong protect the weak” and “kill all non-sorcerers”—as if he himself wasn’t entirely convinced of what he was saying.

this desire to make sense of his place in the world was ultimately what landed him on the opposite side of the spectrum—the jujutsu society doesn’t care for people like him, but it does take advantage of people like him (like yuji, like yuta).

aside from these three, there are other characters who come from non-sorcerer families/backgrounds, like nanami! he isn’t highlighted as much in that aspect, though. i wish we saw more of his high school experience, more of his thought process, but i can imagine being mixed in japan and being able to see curses was very isolating, so the school could’ve also been a safe haven for him at one point, especially considering how well he and haibara got along.

i think the main difference between him and the three i mentioned—and especially between him and geto—was that his life wasn’t contingent on the well-being of other people, there was no stated greater purpose that we knew of. alone after haibara’s death, his upperclassmen too busy, he left the school after graduating. that’s the difference, i think—his general self-preservation.

it’s probably why he was such a great mentor for yuji, too; the both of them have non-jujutsu backgrounds, but while yuji is so reckless with his life, nanami was more careful with his (he’s had first-hand experience with how detached and machine-like jujutsu society can be, how disposable yet indispensable sorcerers are in its jaws). yes, their general circumstances were different, but i’m sure nanami knew how yuji was feeling, being young and clueless, lost.

(though it does make me wonder about his family and how they treated him! i wish we knew more of his background!)

[that-gt-and-vore-stuffs]

fire the thoughts at us. We hunger for gb.

Yeaaaaahhhhhh baby, that’s what I’m talking about. Love to see fellow nerds interested in the bullshit lmao

Anyway here’s what I’ve got since last time

Peter will and has eaten the others before just because he’s bored. Bored or too lazy to go and get an actual snack

Insists the others can’t get mad at him cause they were right there and they would’ve done the same thing (he’s pretty much right, a fact which at least Egon playfully hates but that probably extends to all three others at one point or another)

Winston tries to keep the whole Pred lean thing under wraps his first few weeks with the guys due to past experiences with prey coworkers getting nervous and whatnot. Then, between watching Peter be randomly snatched up as a snack and having the same happen to himself on two separate occasions, that went out the window

He still didn’t outwardly speak about it, but he did relax a good deal

Then Ray spotted his teeth and in a matter of minutes the entire firehouse knew. Janine, who had known from the start, told him he had a good run

The guys (mostly Peter) ask her why the hell she never told them she knew. Her reasoning? Because they’d react like this. Plus, not her info to share

Egon can, will, and has kept someone in his mouth while working in the lab. It’s mostly Peter or Ray, but Winston is by no means safe. All three have ended up as a lab snack at some point

Come his later career with the boys, Winston has been found with someone in his mouth while working on the Ecto-1.

Winston and Egon get teased about the shared habit, especially when they accidentally swallow said team member out of shock when they get caught/distracted/dragged away mid concentration

Ray and Winston tie for the nicest of the crew to be eaten by, with Egon in third, and Peter in last

This ranking, mutually decided on by them, is purely because Peter is the most likely to grab you without warning if you’re clearly doing nothing. Egon remembers to ask at least half the time so he gets a step above his old friend. Ray and Winston aren’t perfect but they are the best out of all four and they all admit that

Janine says she’ll let the boys eat her one day, but said boys are not convinced of this fact.

The boys made s’mores after G/B 1 from the marshmallow fluff they were covered in. You know, for science and stuff. See if paranormal marshmallow tastes different or has any weird effects

It is not uncommon for all four to leave on a bust and see only three or two step out of the Ecto-1 when they get back. Given the remaining members of the team are calm, the missing ones are always “nearby.” Janine has learned not to worry and just to pretend nothing is strange (although her bosses eating each other is far from the strangest thing she’s encountered at this job)

Still working on finding a way to successfully eat a ghost. Egon and Ray insist it’s because it’d be convenient but Peter and Winston are starting to wonder if their determination has to do with the jokes they all make about haunting each other if they die first

(And yes, I’ve seen Afterlife and am FINALLY getting around to seeing Frozen Empire tomorrow. But for now I’m sticking to the classic two films, TR/G cartoon, and such time periods)

On a similar note, the guys are all silently curious about if you can be eaten by a ghost. They’re not about to try it out, but the idea of one of them haunting the others makes them wonder if that’s still something they’d have to watch out for

Overall, it’s very common for at least one of the core four to be “missing” from the firehouse on slow days.

Janine has started keeping track of how often each of them “vanishes” and last a list hidden in her desk. Occasionally she wonders if she could start a betting ring on who was next, only to remember that the whole eating your coworkers thing is a lot less common in pretty much every other aspect of society.

Too bad, really. She finds it hilarious when one of the guys runs past her telling her that she never saw them and to not tell the others where he went

And that’s what I’ve got so far. Seriously, if yall have any ideas you’d ever wanna run by me please send that stuff in the ask box. I love hearing y’all’s thoughts just as much as you seem to like hearing mine. Until next time! Enjoy!

[tumbrisius]

I think a serious conversation needs to be had about Brutus and Cassius’s problematic behavior.

They conspired to kill Julius Caesar in a discord server. An anonymous member of the server leaked screenshots.

In these screenshots it becomes very obvious that Cassius is gaslighting and manipulating Brutus.

2. Cassius pretended to be Caesars friend to conspire against him. That’s snake behavior. He is a danger to society.

3. Cassius and Brutus came out when it was all over and attempted to convince everyone what they did is for the best.

First, they try to say that they did Caesar a favor by “abridging his time of fearing death.” And I can’t believe that in 44AD I have to say murder is not a favor. But the Cassius and Brutus fangirls totally bought it until Mark Antony came out with his “receipts”

Let’s go through Mark Antony’s clapback together. Right away, it’s very clear that he is attempting to manipulate his viewers, and it’s honestly so disappointing that so many people have fallen for his narrative uncritically.

“If I were dispos’d to stir your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage…” Antony totally downplays himself this entire video and this is manipulation tactic. He’s trying to make himself seem innocent, but he knew that if he said the right things, his fanbase would attack Cassius and Brutus.

“And Brutus is an honorable man.” He says this A MILLION times over!!! He is throwing Brutus under the bus and it’s as subtle as a bull in a pottery shop.

In my personal opinion, this is a horrible misuse of your massive platform.

And then there’s the fabled “Will of Caesar.” Let me ask you something, why did he hesitate to show everyone the receipts he promised???? It took him nearly 15 minutes of baiting the will, and guilt-tripping the audience with reminders of his death before pulling out this generous will of Julius Caesar which just makes him seem like the best person alive.

Or I guess no longer alive.

But my point stands, why build up anticipation and hype if you’re just a poor poor friend of the dearly departed??? Because Antony wanted revenge.

Tbh tho, can anyone blame him? And that’s what brings us to number 4.

4. They ACTUALLY KILLED A MAN. I cannot exaggerate enough that this is not internet drama, they MURDERED someone.

Julius Caesar was a controversial leader, but murder? Death??? Does anyone deserve that?

5. They were PROUD of their murder. Brutus and Cassius expected to be held up as HEROS for what they’d done.

“Had you rather Caesar was living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all freemen?

I’m sorry, WHAT??? To compare Julius Caesar being in power to actual slavery? Caesar was NOT that bad, and it’s such obvious slander but what did the Plebeians have to say in the comments?

Plebeian 1: “Bring him with triumph home unto his house.”

Plebeian 2: “Give him a statue with his ancestors.”

You all have ZERO critical thinking skills. The braindead followers of this “drama” need to get a life and FAST.

And to all of this, we don’t even have a concrete reason that Caesar died, other than that Brutus and Cassius got jealous one day. Disgusting.

In conclusion? This was a trainwreck from start to finish.

Cassius and Brutus should be put behind bars, not put on blast on Twitter.

Mark Antony should be watched much much closely after this. Antony manipulated and weaponized his massive fandom to (rightfully) banish two people from the internet.

Someone normal and uninvolved with this drama should be the next in charge. Maybe that up and coming nephew of Caesar, Octavious I think it was? We have options.

And Roman tea-drinkers???

USE YOUR BRAINS FOR CAESAR’S SAKE!!! CONSUME MEDIA CRITICALLY. GOD.

An Ode to Yargı: Part 3

Note 1: This is part of a series: Part 1, Part 2

Note 2: I had written this during Season 1, but am just getting around to polishing and publishing it, so it mainly references events from Season 1. 

Note 3: This is not meant to be an Ilgaz character study, but rather uses a few examples of Ilgaz’s behavior to help study audience biases. An excellent study of Ilgaz already exists here. 

As mentioned in Part 1, I love that Yargı and its fans are teaching me a lot and subtly causing me to examine my own internalized ideologies. Something that I’ve been grappling with throughout season 1 of the show is the audience (and my) reception of Ilgaz, and whether we have metaphorical blind spots for good men. Ilgaz is the perfect foil to Ceylin: the quintessential classical good man who values integrity, honesty, and is committed and loving towards his wife and family. His masculinity has never been toxic, but rather comprised of stoicism, a strong sense of right and wrong, strength of character, and frankness. We know that he has an unwavering belief in the justice system and is well known for being a morally upright savcı (prosecutor). However, we can love him and still note his flaws, without making him out to be a toxic man. 

Something I’ve realized throughout my time watching Yargı and keeping up with the Twitter fandom is that we seem to have a bigger blind spot for good men than we do for any other type of main character. I think this is due in huge part to the way many of us have been socialized and internalized the ideals that dictate our male-dominated patriarchal societies. When it comes to Yargı, we all know Ceylin to be a scrappy character with major trust issues when it comes to the justice system. We have no problem identifying her missteps, partially because she’s been written to make mistakes and then double down on them and partially because our societies have a pathological problem of women often being each other’s harshest critics. Pınar herself discusses the phenomenon and references John Berger’s book Ways of Seeing. With every misstep of Ceylin’s, especially when she hides something from Ilgaz, I find myself immediately thinking “ah Ceylin, ah!”. Similarly, the Yargı audience usually takes to twitter to discuss if Ceylin’s growth is happening too slowly, or that she has once again made a mistake. Don’t get me wrong, this discussion is honestly good and means Yargi has done its job because it leads the audience into constantly examining its views and beliefs. 

However, I realized that we somehow don’t see a similar extent of reflection whenever Ilgaz hides something from Ceylin. I don’t catch myself thinking “ah Ilgaz, ah!”, or at least not until I rewatch the episode and give myself time to process. How come? Is it because Ilgaz has gained our trust? Because he’s the kind of guy who won’t lie in a testimony and is willing to marry a woman (that he potentially loves already) in order to avoid telling said lie yet still protect her from the consequences of her actions? Is it because we agree with Ilgaz and his motives? I’m not questioning whether Ilgaz is truly morally upright or not, nor am I criticizing Ilgaz as a character, but I am questioning if we have a blind spot for some of his habits because we see him as an ideal, values-driven, non-toxic, good™️ man. I admit that there are hardly any of his kind left on TV, so the law of supply/demand might also apply here. Not convinced? Here are some examples that came to mind for me:

Episode 3/Episode 12: Ilgaz doesn’t tell Ceylin about his father’s involvement in her father’s wrongful imprisonment until Engin forces him into a corner. Ilgaz has known for some time (since Ep. 3), and even temporarily succeeds in having Metin resign/retire, which doesn’t escape Ceylin’s notice (Ep. 9). Regardless, we empathize with his struggle to divulge this information to Ceylin because he is literally torn between the woman he has come to love and his father (who was literally about to shoot himself) through no fault of his own, so we understand why it’s difficult for him to reveal this truth. Sound familiar?

Episode 17: Ilgaz hides his parallel investigation into his first avukat-era client, Mithat bey, from Ceylin. He has a strong suspicion that his client Mithat is not innocent and confirms this via Eren. He is well aware of Ceylin’s view on the matter (that it’s not their job to investigate the truth, they’re not prosecutors, and that they can’t afford to determine the truth before taking on a client), and still chooses to investigate the matter secretly. I’m not criticizing his choice because it makes sense for Ilgaz, and also leads to a steamy scene that we all rejoiced over. However, it does seem familiar…

Episode 18: Ilgaz and Ceylin clash over the right approach to dealing with Galip’s case (involving the staple gun) because of its implications for Melike’s custody case. Ilgaz promises Ceylin he will do it her way, hiding his true intentions, which are then revealed retrospectively to Ceylin in court. Why did Ilgaz feel hiding this was necessary? Hasn’t Ceylin been his true partner so far? It’s possible that this part of the story was told in this way in order to trigger some suspense and uncertainty for the viewer, but to me this is another instance of Ilgaz hiding something from Ceylin because she doesn’t agree with his view or approach. 

Episode 23: Ilgaz can tell something is up with Ceylin and tries to prompt  her to share. When this fails, he digs through her trash, dissects his suspicions with Eren, and even tricks Yekta into helping him decode Ceylin’s secret envelope. Despite receiving good advice to just wait for Ceylin to share, Ilgaz searches her laptop without her knowledge, this time with police help, and finds out Ceylin knowingly sat on information about Yekta’s innocence in this particular case. This is yet another clear example of Ilgaz going his own way in secret when he doesn’t get Ceylin’s cooperation. Furthermore, while I saw many viewers defend Ilgaz’s actions here based on the fact that it’s unjust to arrest or imprison Yekta for a crime he didn’t commit, this was a blatant invasion of privacy to me, not to mention a display of lack of trust. Ceylin may be complicit in having Yekta wrongfully imprisoned, but that’s on her. That doesn’t make Ilgaz right. 

Episode 28: The egg that’s been incubating since Episode 6 has finally hatched and Ilgaz knows about Metin and Cinar’s potential involvement in Zafer’s death and subsequent cover-up. At this point, Ilgaz has reprimanded Ceylin many times for hiding things. Remember when she briefly hid Parla’s involvement in money laundering from Aylin? Yet when Ilgaz is pushed to the brink by these new revelations, he ultimately can’t find the words to tell Ceylin the truth before the situation snowballs, and she finds out from Yekta of all people. Naturally, as viewers, we suffer with Ilgaz here and understand. Even as I write this, I’m questioning whether this was a true instance of hiding. 

These examples obviously illustrate Ilgaz and Ceylin clashing over their interpretation of justice, because that is the central conflict between them. They also demonstrate that Ilgaz is a human, and though he gets really close to it, he is not perfect. He is flawed, just like Ceylin. However, even more interesting, these examples show us that when it comes to hiding things and operating in secret, Ilgaz and Ceylin actually share this tendency. Yet, we only seem to berate Ceylin about it. So what do you think? Do we have a blind spot for Ilgaz’s flaws? I would love to know your thoughts!

"I'll argue with you about Edelgard von fucking Fire Emblem when there aren't people proudly marching in the streets waving flags with swastikas threatening to gas me and my entire family and all of my friends for the crime of existing"

YEAH FUCK EM UP, seriously though these people really think they have the moral high ground? Okay go do something about the problems going on in your area instead of arguing about a fucking fictional character but oh we know they don't actually care and just use buzzwords to win arguments

Like I don’t want to be reductionist and be like “oh how dare you talk about something pointless and fun when there’s real problems in the world” because that’s not what I’m getting at. It’s perfectly fine and valid to want to talk about something pointless and fun to escape real life sometimes. I do it, my mutuals do it, everyone does it.

Here’s the thing, and bear with me.

Recently I went back and watched some of the footage from the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally, something I hadn’t really done before now because I knew it would be triggering. I mean I knew what happened. I knew there were Nazis and I knew they were saying vile shit and I knew people died. But watching it? Was fucking harrowing.

I’m queer. If I were alive in Hitler’s Germany, I would be just as dead as the family members I have who fled from there and died there. I am the kind of person they’re talking about when they chant “gas the Jews”.

And you know what else? They aren’t going to listen to me. They’re never going to listen to me. They’re never going to let me advocate for my own existence. You know why? Because they don’t believe I have a right to exist in the first place. That’s the thing about bigots, they only listen to the people they believe have “worth” in the society they want.

So when myself and others get harassed and called misogynists, transphobes, homophobes, racists, etc. I just have to gawk. You aren’t doing anything. You’re just another oppressor’s boot in our necks. You see the knife in our backs and you chose to twist it further, throwing the language we desperately need to discuss our experiences back in our faces.

Accuse me of “playing the victim” if you like, but I’ll stop being a victim when you stop victimizing us. I’ve said repeatedly that I just want my online presence to be an escape from real life. I would love it if I could stop having to put my pain and my trauma on display in the hopes that it might convince someone that I and the people around me deserve to be treated with basic human respect.

The fact that you can sit here and throw these terms around and justify your continued harassment for such a pointless, meaningless thing as “do you like the same anime girl as me?” is sick. It’s sick.

Spend 1% of the time you waste stalking our blogs for “points” to “”””debunk”””” actually advocating for our continued right to exist to your congressmen, state government, local government, heck even the assholes like Andrew fucking Tate on Twitter, and I’ll talk to you about Edelgard von fucking Hresvelg again.

Sure, why not.  Some of my general thoughts on some Gundam works I like (part 1 of Ɐ basically)

Something I often find annoying in some modern Gundam stories is the concerted effort to either absolve one side or another of their various atrocities, or to pile on with war crime after war crime to make it clear either who the real bad guys are, or to balance the scales for the audience.  Anyone with some pretty basic media literacy can figure out that the Federation and Zeon are both pretty awful, but perhaps the idea that even the elderly man who wanted his society to be better choosing to exploit children as weapons didn’t make it clear how deep the rot really was.  You don’t need to add really overt uses of child soldiers in Thunderbolt to accentuate how garbage the Federation is, especially not if it comes at the cost of trying to humanize the ruthless sociopath that is Io Fleming.

Anyway, this post is about something of an exception to my general attitude in the case of MS Igloo, a 6 episode OVA using poorly aged CGI that was made specifically for IMAX screens. As a small note, the 3 episode sequel will not be showing up in future posts about things I like.

MS Igloo tells the story of the 603rd Technical Division through the eyes of Oliver May, an engineer who believes his work holds the key to Zeon’s victory of the oppressive Federation forces.  The story, framed entirely from Oliver’s perspective and attitudes, shows Zeon struggling to find something that could have the chance of turning the tide.  The first episode features the 603rd getting an already abandoned weapon dumped on them, and that will end up being the case for the entire first half of the series.  From the big useless space gun to the horrifically flawed Zudah mobile suit, the team is used by their superiors for propaganda at best and as a dumping ground for wasted resources at worst, leading up to the eventual introduction of Zeon’s ultimate desperation weapon: the Oggo, an armed space construction machine intended to be piloted by children. In spite of seeing his superiors send him doomed projects and war crimes for him to legitimize through his “research,” Oliver ends the series still completely enthralled by the illusion of Zeon that he was fed from before the day he even joined the military.  This results in MS Igloo having a vibe not unlike “Triumph of the Will,” where while watching it, you can feel the mechanisms that would convince those of the era to support the atrocities of the Third Reich while the knowledge of history creates a sickening twist inside you.  We watch someone so completely indoctrinated that even his superiors telling him TO HIS FACE that the Zabi Regime is full of shit does nothing to change his attitude.  The exploitation of children and the death of his comrade’s younger brother under his command do nothing to make him step back.  When it’s all said and done, Oliver is too far gone.  MS Igloo is a tragedy wrapped in the coat of a triumph.

The most unfortunate thing about MS Igloo to me, however, is that I can’t tell if that was on purpose.  MS Igloo has an aesthetic that feels reminiscent of 0083, a series that felt at times a bit too... reverential of its WWII inspirations.  Most of the 603rd’s projects have Germanic names, and the outfits go pretty Hugo Boss if you catch my meaning.  This makes sense due to them having the same director, Takashi Imanishi.  I’m left conflicted on the works he’s created in the Universal Century due to the aesthetic choices that keep showing up, but I am drawn to a few of the projects he has worked on over the years.  I am therefore left wondering if my internal conflicted feelings are perhaps the point after all.

Chapter 2: People Are Strange

Apparently after his previous apprentice turned out to not only bastardize Morganian sorcery, but also just too self absorbed for his liking, Horvath gave up and decided to start from scratch. I think Horvath made a somewhat horrible mistake by bringing me into the fold of sorcery, especially considering my antics. He does like my nihilism and somewhat morally gray values, so I suppose he puts up with it. In a way, he’s kinda like Walter E. Kurtz, I count Horvath’s mission to essentially sacrifice all of earth for Morgana to be similar to exposing the hypocrisy of the US military and just imperialism in general using vile and cruel methods.

I mean, very early this morning I dropped my cat’s water bowl as I was heading to the sink. “What the fuck are you doing here? I’m not going to ask how you got in here, because I just don’t feel like it.” I picked up the bowl while in awe of my mentor sitting at the small dining table in my kitchen - at like 6 in the morning. Horvath just stared at me, not quite irritated but not quite bored, I busted out laughing at this situation. Gripping the counter with a hand, and holding my heart with the other, I slowly drifted to the floor while laughing. In his typical manner, he asked why I’m laughing, that just caused me to laugh even harder, fuckin’ idiot.

Suddenly I was thrown to the wall, wrists and ankles bound to the wall by knives, again. He slowly slithered up to me, and raised my chin with the handle of his cane, “What is so amusing this time?” Horvath demanded as if he was about to mug me. I calmed down from my fit of laughter, “ok so, there’s this video on the internet where this one guy” my voice picked up, oh shit, “this one guy fuckin’ says ‘come into MY house, suck MY dick, and call ME gay’. Please don’t even try to question why I thought of that” he just rested his face into the palm of his hand, a finger slowly massaging a temple. Not even a day into my apprenticeship, and this man is done with my bullshit. He put the knives away and let me fall to the ground, the knife marks in the drywall are going to be Very difficult to explain to the landlord, and I don’t think he’ll buy into the facts of some weirdo appearing in my home and convincing me to join his gang.

“Since we’re both up, and - I get you haven’t been out in society since before World War I, even though you may have witnessed history while trapped as a nesting doll. Speaking of which, where the fuck did those roaches go?” I went on a tangent, Horvath just sat there in silence and not amused. “Before we even think of world domination, you need training, since I don’t trust you battling for Morgana in this condition.” he put it bluntly, “so, is this a paid internship?” I asked the man, “for the last time, (Y/N), no, this is an apprenticeship” he replied. “Goddammit” I slammed my hand on the table, my superior’s expression remained the same as Keaton’s - stone. Once again he exhaled through his nose in a mildly infuriated tone, “and no, you are not getting paid at all” he glared at me. Considering the outfit Horvath permanently wears, I would have thought he’d be loaded. What type of person who’s not wealthy looks like they literally stepped out of a thirties drama? Then again, he did step out of either 1900 or 1910, I don’t remember the exact year.

Horvath cleared his throat, “I can hear your thoughts”, “didn’t I give you a warning about my internal monologue?” I retorted. Horvath claimed my thoughts are too loud and obnoxious, and that in order to help him achieve world domination and destroy Earth, I need to learn to control my thoughts. Well, uh, no. No, I can't control what goes on in my thoughts or the volume at which they project. His glare intensified, “You know, you could not be exposed to my absurdity by not reading my mind.” I returned the glare. My mentor sighed in disappointment. “Considering older white collar folks wouldn’t be too keen on some people using a public property to practice sorcery, and the limited space of my apartment, I have no idea where we should go so you can teach. I understand, I’ll shut up.” I somewhat rambled on, I could tell he was intrigued and wanted me to explain.

“Ok, so, in the meantime you were trapped in that doll, or as, whatever, about thirty or forty years into the future, a generation of entitled, self righteous, bigoted, unpleasant people were born. They were raised to be those adjectives because their parents didn’t know jack shit about parenting considering some of them were in their early or mid twenties when they got married directly after World War II, yes, two world wars a bit over two decades apart, there’s a lot you missed. Anyway, the way that generation, the boomers, were raised is that their parents just gave them whatever they wanted because the economy was forgiving and allowed people to just buy practically anything and have as many kids as they wanted, even though the standard or average was two kids. Then these kids grew into rebellious teenagers who said ‘I hate that I got everything I ever wanted in my life, I’m gonna go become an artist or join a gang or become a movie star or whatever.

"When they became young adults in college, they continued to hate tradition and wanted to be heard - what I mean by that is that their parents would silence whatever concerns or problems their kids had by just buying them something. Anyways, the kids were seen as accessories and never really listened to, most of them wanted to pursue the arts and become singers, dancers, directors, painters,and whatnot so their voices could be heard. Where this all fits in with the older folks nowadays bitching and complaining about everything not being handed to them on a silver platter, is that they expect people to just stop what they’re doing to obey their entitled actions, usually it’s the older women who make a big deal out of literally anything, but whatever.”

What do you mean he didn’t silence me? I thought he would have done that, but whatever. Then again, I think Horvath wouldn’t mind hearing about those who oppress free will and individuality considering Morganians essentially want the world to burn and leave sorcery up to the individual practicing it. Wait until he hears about evangelism and hardcore Christians™, there’s other religious practices, Debra. “Well,” I trailed off, “we could go on the outskirts of town and find an abandoned warehouse. I don’t know what exactly Morganian sorcery entails, but if anyone pulls a ‘you’re not allowed to be here even though this place is abandoned and literally nobody comes here’ you can just throw them to another dimension or something, I don’t know” I articulated my words by moving my hands around, as usual.

Another AU Idea: Servant Quackity AU

Basically, post-failed-nuke Tommy, Tubbo, Punz, and Jack all ban together and — thanks to the fact that basically all major players on the server have a positive connection with at least one of the above — manage to convince everyone to actually form a bit of a truce. They get everyone together and they start to actually try to settle things peacefully, lawfully, under new rules that everyone comes up with together. Some people need closure, either because of something that was done to them or something that they did to someone else. Some people need assistance, and they need community outreach, too. And so, they make plans, they talk, they settle. It’s a clean slate — or at least. It’s GOING to be a clean slate.

Among the “reparations”, however, is Dream. Who, thanks to his continuous mental and physical deterioration post-Pandora, has finally had his body collapse under him and ended with him paralyzed from the neck down.

Sam…still has work to do. He’s still convinced that he’s a Good Person and needs some serious self-reflection before he can be allowed anywhere near an incapacitated Dream. Quackity, on the other hand, has just had his confrontation with Charlie and is fresh on the realization that he has turned himself into something of a monster. He needs something to help him rehabilitate himself into a functioning member of society again. He needs a job that will allow him room to change into something else. And Dream needs serious help.

I think you can see where I’m going with this.

Quackity is sentenced to Community Service, in which he has to attend to Dream’s every need. And he’s actually pretty eager to do it! He wants to change, he wants to get better, and he just — he can’t be that person anymore, and this is a way to make sure he becomes someone new.

Dream, on the other hand, is…not so happy about this arrangement. He just bared his throat to Tommy, and was immediately betrayed by the arrival of a nuke — even if it did fail, it was one hell of a punch to the gut and now his walls are back in full force. He’s paralyzed, he’s helpless, and now he’s been put under the 24/7 care of someone who 1) tortured him for six (three) months straight and 2) who he just tried (and failed) to take revenge on. He knows Quackity hasn’t forgotten that.

Quackity can tell that Dream isn’t a fan of this arrangement. That doesn’t mean he’s not going to give it his all.

Anyway this AU is legitimately just pure fluff as Quackity slowly falls into a competition of trying to outdo himself every day in his attempts to make Dream feel as comfy as he can.

ohhhhh interesting!!!!! this one’s a cool one :O so the nuke fails, leaves everyone in shock, and pushes dream over the edge of physical deterioration? the specifics of how tubbo, tommy and punz end up banding together, and the timing for when dream’s paralysis kicks in is interesting to me 😯 however i’m going to ignore this for now because i like this servant and quackity set up 😂

(discussion below)

🦙🦙🦙…

it’s so nice to be able to play around with quackity actually making his own decisions to help dream,, and dream actually knowing what’s going on. like in the other AUs, we either have had quackity being forced/encouraged into helping dream by someone else,, or we’ve had dream having zero clue of the fact that quackity is trying to help (or he’s been a blob)

but much the same as the other AUs, dream is terrified of being under quackity’s care while he’s in such a vulnerable state. though interestingly i feel that quackity would be far more understanding of it this time round. he’s more careful with his words, softer with his tone, gentle with his touch. he makes it his top priority to make dream as comfortable and safe as possible. it’s kinda like pet blob au, but with 1000 more egg shells

i’m obsessed with the idea of him using the same caring tone that he used for slime on dream? especially since i assumed that he’d know of the fact that dream confessed to tommy that he just really misses his friends? perhaps he makes it his aim to have dream feel like he’s loved as a friend.

i also feel like it would be cool for dream to go non-verbal again? like rejecting quackity’s help and care. the only words he does end up spitting out are angry. they’re hissed and they’re threats. like a cat bailed up against a wall

Just finished American Mermaid. SOOO good!! A lot of plot twists and turns, emotional highs and lows, perfect balance of comedy and drama and fantasy, a welcome subversion of typical magical realism, a book-within-a-book that I wish were a real book, and many thought-provoking questions about women’s place in society and about the difficult choices between seizing opportunity vs. being true to yourself. As someone who loves mermaids, who’s been to Los Angeles, and who’s worked in the film industry I found this book deeply relatable. It’s a perfect companion piece to R.F. Kuang’s Yellowface, which also follows the insane escapades of a woman who suddenly becomes a famous author. And of course I also kept comparing this book to Liz Kessler’s Emily Windsnap series also about mermaids! I wonder if Liz Kessler has read or could relate to American Mermaid.

*WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW*

1) Derek is a refreshing subversion of your typical bumbling idiot: making things both better and worse for Penelope, usually by accident, but by the end even his accidents help Penelope learn important lessons which ultimately change her life.

2) The ending was surprisingly heartwarming!! When Penelope’s mother and sister come to see her in the hospital, she realizes that her loved ones will always be with her, that her life is not predetermined by breast cancer, and more importantly that she will have many more ideas and wonderful opportunities in her life than just her one debut bestseller. Especially loved the Epilogue where she uses all her past trials and tribulations in L.A. as inspiration to write another bestseller!

3) This book ends with Penelope letting her mermaid story stay in development hell , so she can keep making lots of money and not let her story get completely rewritten. I don’t know true that is in real life, but it would explain why so many film/TV projects are still in development hell.

4) The breast cancer subplot hit uncomfortably close to home. Like her mom my mom is also a breast cancer survivor, and inheriting her heightened risk of cancer has been a looming specter over many of my life choices.

5) Are we ever going to get closure on why Penelope and her dad don’t get along? I sense something deeper than just ideological l differences. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t accept her being asexual (which I’m 100% convinced she is). Or, given how Penny’s book is clearly inspired by her real life, maybe she’s being forced into her dad’s line of work and wants to do something different. He must’ve done something pretty awful to warrant Penny calling him an asshole on a public broadcast. Kinda sad Penny’s mother and sister but not her father come to see her in the hospital. And it seems her near-death experience didn’t repair their relationship.

6) I feel like we get tremendous insight into Penelope’s personality and relationships just from her book-within-a-book excerpts alone. Very clever use of character establishment.

7) That ending was…*Chef’s Kiss* PERFECT!!! In a way it’s Penny’s ultimate revenge: Penny keeps making bank as her story keeps cycling through development hell under a constantly changing pair of “fresh eyes”, while her character Sylvia comes to life and continues her killing spree against everyone who dared change her story. Murphy got lucky. I feel a little bit sorry for Dick Babbott, as he did try helping Penny the last time he saw her when he really didn’t have to.

8) Speaking of Sylvia I liked her character-establishing moment using her Siren song on two men yet only chooses to kill one of them. Unlike her mermaid sisters who just kill all humans on sight.

9) Do Vanessa and her friends ever get caught for trespassing and then doing hard drugs in a Hollywood celebrity’s private home?

Dead Poets Society (1989) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

See nobody believed me the walls were being made with clay that has people in it and we don't use people in it it makes it weaker because we use other stuff they make it stronger and they're trying to get a sample using you and we didn't build the wall around the Midwest. That's very very solid. This guy is doing my ideas for a variety of reasons he doesn't know why sometimes he's off the mark a lot but it looks like it works he's in there with these businesses and it wasn't working his people are getting killed and he was losing control over them he thinks it's all max against him and he doesn't see the point of keeping society up. He doesn't understand not everybody's a Mac people have to take over to make sure things work but he did the wall a little testing he's not caught yet he get caught and then it turns on them a 100 percent already it's going and they're saying it didn't happen yet but the kid is following me around who got stuck there. And he goes there because he grabs him cause he helped me with business stuff that Trump doesn't want to pay but that's how the Macs are and they're running the money to a degree once if they run it completely we're in trouble so he's some sort of standing alarm. I don't like him 'cause of that and he doesn't know it but he knows it a little inside of him this person who is made to do a lot of stuff inside knows that what he's doing is sometimes very effective the wall thing he does is extremely effective and it's wrong and it hurt his own people his own people are getting hurt anyways in droves huge numbers of them are dying you can't seem to have the right thing done. You can't seem to find the problem it points it out in a way that is very different. Things are gonna come out of it robotics he's not good at it and he says he is people research it and find out he got kicked out of Carnegie Mellon and other places and he's not good at it. Poetry can be very powerful but the effect on Morlock is kind of weak I think that's the whole name of the game because I found to be writings in literature and sayings and things that mean stuff are not too potent unless it's your code and you're seeing it to your people. In a coded way that's effective. Goes through all these renditions has them write some powerful poetry and it doesn't do much and I asked him is is that what it is and he says yes and you said it I said we have to have some life so people can hold on to it and I think you get it later people need things they need family that won't stab them with a real knife these things are great but you're acting like you're dead and you're scaring everybody and people are going to war on you in the max want that you need to do something that sounds stupid take a plane and a train in an automobile with Steve Martin without killing him and have a meal at Thanksgiving and he's starting to get it a little as people are dying and all the death doesn't seem to convince anyone if anything here and I'm trying to get cars out and things they want and need it's just not going anywhere and the cities are divided and the max student on purpose to blow them up to have something deton to blow them up to have something detonate and believe me they can actually control it well enough if we hear it two minutes before you that's who it is. It's not worth sacrificing all of them so the max can get ahead. We're gonna have factories and we're gonna have things people can do it looks like you guys have a war over the stashes and caches when that's over maybe the people who are left can pick up and start over and remember the mistakes. Maybe that's something that can come across in poetry people remember they're having us do this and they're having us do that and we mentioned it while it's happening but it's too late.

Zues Hera

I think that's the most beautiful thing anyone's ever said to me is he above and I think that it's right and he says that Sarah has said much better and I said it everyday just as she should. To you. I'm gonna have to stop this stupid stuff but he's right brian can't stop he's gonna take all my stuff. Is on a rampage too and we don't have any plans to go down there we need to get the information he says it's like missing out on Hiroshima and Nagasaki sure you can lose your eyes but you're going to have the memory. I'm gonna go ahead and do this so that I know what he means he means I'll go down there and get blinded at least I'll have the memory.

trump

Olympus This is why we call them leaders of ours. Go ahead and try and do these things it's dangerous we have to get in there and we have to start doing something to stop them from being uncivilized. Timmy Allen has a system in his cities and it's working and Trump doesn't and it's not working it says he he copy people all your life and here's someone who's ripping you off and you won't copy from him he's doing something that I told him to do when you have an overflow of poop and other things knee clean water. So he went right to it and it's copying him and they're figuring out that they're in trouble and that they need help and they don't need a ****.

THE ILLUMINATI BREAKDOWN PART 2:

DIDDY AND HIS LINK TO THE ILLUMINATI

POST 1 OF 4

HELLO EVERYONE. I’M GOING TO GIVE SOME GENERAL INFORMATION, AND THEN I’M GOING TO GIVE THE ANSWERS I GOT WHEN I ASKED THE SPIRITS OF THE SPIRIT WORLD WHAT IS GOING ON.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE PRIOR TO ALL THIS STUFF WITH DIDDY COMING OUT WHO SPOKE A LOT ABOUT WHAT HE TERMED “THE CABAL” WAS DAVID WILCOCK. HE DESCRIBED SOME THINGS QUITE A WHILE AGO THAT WERE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CABAL, EVEN GOING SO FAR AS TO SAY THEY OFFERED HIM STOCK IN A CAVE FULL OF GOLD THAT THEY WERE GOING TO USE TO REBOOT THE DOLLAR. DAVID WILCOCK DID INDEED DESCRIBE AND CONFIRM THE THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT THESE GROUPS TORTURING AND DRINKING THE BLOOD OF CHILDREN TO GAIN SUPERNATURAL EFFECTS BY AN UNNATURAL ACTIVATION PRYING OPEN THEIR HIGHER FACULTIES. YOU ALSO HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF RONALD BERNARD ILLUMINATI INSIDER.

HERE'S WHAT INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GATHER ABOUT THE CABAL AND THE ILLUMINATI, BECAUSE THE TERM ILLUMINATI HAS BEEN USED FOR MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. THE PERSON THAT STARTED THE ILLUMINATI INSIDE OF OTHER SECRET SOCIETIES LIKE THE FREEMASONS WHERE THEY WERE RECRUITING WAS A JESUIT. THE JESUITS ARE THE MILITARY BRANCH OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PRACTICING MACHIAVELLIAN DECEIT WARFARE TACTICS AND HAVE ALSO BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE ONES WHO REALLY WROTE THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION. RONALD BERNARD TELLS EVERYBODY TO READ THOSE DOCUMENTS, AND STATES THAT THINGS IN THOSE DOCUMENTS ARE COMING TRUE AND PEOPLE BETTER FIGURE OUT WHO WROTE IT. WELL NOW WE KNOW, IT WAS THIS CABAL ILLUMINATI, AND WE KNOW THE JESUITS ARE A PART OF THAT. NOW WITH WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH DIDDY THERE ARE SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN INFER.

FIRST OFF, THERE ARE ALSO SOME CLAIMS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BY DR STEVEN GREER OF THE DISCLOSURE MOVEMENT. TWO OF THE MAIN ONES BEING THAT THE JESUITS HAVE THE COMPUTER CODES TO THE BANKING SYSTEM AND ARE POTENTIALLY HOLDING IT HOSTAGE, AND THAT THEY ARE ALSO POTENTIALLY PLANNING TO LAUNCH A FALSE FLAG ALIEN INVASION TO TRY AND CONVINCE PEOPLE OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AS A TOTAL ACT OF DECEPTION WORLDWIDE. ONE THING WE CAN INFER FROM HISTORY IS THAT THE JESUITS PLAY A ROLE WITH THE NAZIS AND THE SS, AND THAT THE NAZIS AND THE SS MODELED MUCH OF WHAT THEY DID AROUND THE JESUITS, AND THERE ARE EVEN RUMORS THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE JESUITS HELPED TO GET A LOT OF THE NAZIS THEY WERE LOOKING FOR AFTER THE WAR SMUGGLED INTO SOUTH AMERICA. IN A BOOK ABOUT THE ADRENOCHROME CONSPIRACY WHEN THERE WERE RUMORS THAT HOLLYWOOD WAS INVOLVED, A GROUP OF PEOPLE CALLED THE UNVEILERS ALSO DESCRIBED AND CONFIRMED WHAT DAVID WILCOCK AND RONALD BERNARD WERE SAYING ABOUT CHILDREN BEING TORTURED AND THEN MURDERED AND THE CHEMICALS THEN BEING EXTRACTED FROM THEIR BLOOD TO BE USED TO ACTIVATE HIGHER FACULTIES PRYING THEM OPEN UNNATURALLY. THIS BOOK GOT INTO SOME MORE SPECIFICS SAYING THAT IT IS ADRENOCHROME, ADRENALINE, AND DMT THAT PLAY A MAJOR ROLE, IT STATES THAT IT HAS TO BE DONE WITH CHILDREN TO GET THE CHEMICALS NECESSARY AND CAN’T BE DONE WITH PEOPLE OVER A CERTAIN AGE “ITH ANY GREAT SUCCESS, AND IT STATES ALSO WHAT DAVID WILCOCK SAID THAT THEY THEN WOULD USE THIS FALSE ACTIVATION TO TRY AND INFLUENCE SPIRITS IN THE SPIRIT WORLD AND COMMAND SPIRITS. I CAN TELL YOU THAT BASICALLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING IS DISGUISING THEMSELVES AS SOMETHING THEY WERE NOT, AND THEN IN A FORCEFUL AND ABUSIVE WAY THEY WERE TRYING TO BULLY NATURE SPIRITS AND THE GUARDIAN SPIRITS INTO DOING HORRIBLE THINGS FOR THEM THAT THEY WOULDN’T NORMALLY BE INVOLVED IN. I’M NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW OR WHY THAT WORKS, AND I SUGGEST IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THOSE TOPICS AND SORCERY THAT YOU ACTUALLY BECOME INITIATED AS A WITCH, I WOULD AVOID THE MAINSTREAM SECRET SOCIETIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN IMPLEMENTED NOT AS BEING THE MASTERMINDS OF WHAT’S GOING ON, BUT BEING THE TOOLS OF THE MASTERMINDS THAT ARE THE ILLUMINATI AND THE CABAL. IN THE BOOK I WAS REFERRING TO IT ALSO STATES THAT THEY THOUGHT THE NAZIS WERE TAKING JEWISH CHILDREN FROM THE DEATH CAMPS DURING THE HOLOCAUST FOR THESE PURPOSES. DAVID WILCOCK HAS ALSO STATED THAT THE CABAL IS INVOLVED IN PEDOPHILIA AS A WAY TO NUMB THESE CHILDREN VICTIMS, AND THAT THEY ARE VERY HARD EVEN ON THEIR OWN CHILDREN. IT HAS ALSO BEEN STATED THAT THERE ARE DELIBERATE ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY THEIR LOWER CHAKRAS, ONE OF THOSE BEING INCREDIBLY ROUGH ANAL SEX.

WHY I'M SMARTER THAN GARMENT

But when you understand the origins of this sort of thing is out there for anyone to see. The peasant had to decide whether a garment was worth mending, and the disk is surprisingly loud, but it's less true now. Kids a certain age would point into the case and say that they wanted yellow. The problem is not so much convinced of their own angel rounds. Like steroids, these sudden huge investments can do more harm than good. And the books we were assigned. For example, the wisdom of the engineer who knows certain structures are less prone to failure than others. So they don't have to act like VCs. In doing so you create wealth. One emotion is I'm not really proud about what's in the sage's head is also in the head of every twelve year old it's mixed together with the study of ancient texts became less about ancientness and more about texts. When we describe one as smart, it's shorthand for smarter than other three year olds. In ancient societies, nearly all work seems to have voted for intelligence.

The central problem in big companies. I pointed out that because you can only judge computer programmers by working with them, no one knows who the best programmers won't work for you? Another popular explanation is that wisdom comes from experience while intelligence is innate. But not the specific conclusions I want to reach users, you do it? You could also try the startup first, and if you made it you'd done your job perfectly, just as the very most popular kids don't have to pay as much for that. This is the Formula 1 racecar. Other players were more famous: Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann. Whereas if you were in the middle of Antarctica, where there is nothing to buy, it wouldn't have been better for all of human history it has not even been the most common.

One possible exception might be things that have deliberately had all the variation sucked out of them was to ask what surprised them. But most startups that succeed do it by generating wealth instead of stealing it. Even a VC friend of mine dislikes VCs. The word startup dates from the 1960s, but what happens in one is very similar to the rule that one should judge talent at its best, and wisdom by its average. This is an area where managers can make a difference. There is, in any normal family, a fixed amount of wealth in the world. How many would have understood that this particular 19 year old was Bill Gates? All through college, and probably rarely as high as 100. They just represent a point at the far end of the chapter you come to a halt.

Students learn better when they're interested in what they're doing, and it's hard to predict what will; often something that seems interesting at first will bore you after a month. That's even rarer. There you're not concerned with truth. Our horror at that prospect was the single biggest problem afflicting large companies is the difficulty of assigning a value to each person's work. That's like having the Rolling Stones play at a bar mitzvah. So how do you do research on composition? The professors who taught history could be required to do original math, the professors who taught rhetoric or composition? When you hear your call is important to us, please stay on the line, do you think, oh good, now everything will be all right? He was as good an engineer as a painter. And are English classes even the place to do it.

He seemed to regard it as a cost of doing business. Apple should. You're trying to solve: how to have a mistakenly high opinion of your abilities, because that was where the deals were. Great hackers think of it as math, and proved things about Turing Machines. Art became stuffy in the nineteenth century. Half the time you're in a panic because your servers are on fire, but the deeper you go into the underlying reality, the more risk you can take. Many people seem to have some sort of internal compass that helps me out. Imagine how depressing the world would be that much richer. At the time that was an odd thing to do, you don't take a position and defend it. That was all it took to make the book controversial. In this world, because they get a big chunk of money up front. If this was their hypothesis, it's now been verified experimentally.

And yet isn't being smart also knowing what to do in an essay. How do you learn it? I go to bed discontented, feeling he hadn't made enough progress. Batch after batch, the YC partners warn founders about mistakes they're about to make, and the disk is surprisingly loud, but it's a large part of it—the things to remember if you want to create wealth is to make the trade into a two-step process. How can you tell if you're up to it, the only way out. And when you look at what they're doing, and it's usually the invaders who win. That just breeds laziness. A big component of wealth is location. So what makes a place good to them?

Because they can't predict the winners in advance? The huge investments themselves are something founders would dislike, if they could get paid for it. What makes him unique. It's fabulous. The solution societies find, as they get more specialized, there are no technology hubs without first-rate university from nothing overnight. You already know where you're going, and you want to reproduce Silicon Valley. Your performance is measured by number of users. Great hackers tend to clump together—sometimes spectacularly so, as at Xerox Parc.

Smart people will go wherever other smart people are. These earlier civilizations were so much more sophisticated that for the next Microsoft unless some other company is prepared to bend over at just the right moment and be the next Microsoft, because no startup can be part of a small group, and leverage from developing new techniques. That may require some natural ability. But as the number of points increases, wisdom and intelligence. It was English. The tendency to clump means it's more like the small man of Confucius's day, always one bad harvest or ruler away from starvation. Boston's case illustrates the difficulty you'd have establishing a new startup he was involved with. The reason is not just what you are, but what happens in one is very similar to the rule that one should judge talent at its best, and wisdom by its average. That's the real point of startups. Isaac Newton Newton has a strange role in my pantheon of heroes: he's the one I reproach myself with. Great hackers also generally insist on using open source software.
