nothing has hammered home that teaching is a skill (often deliberately cultivated, non-intuitive, something you have to exercise like a muscle) quite like my father trying to educate his children about investing. He knows so much about the stock market, can analyze an ETF or mutual fund at a glance, has a suggested portfolio breakdown etched on his bones........yet bristles any time we ask him for more guidance than "broad commentary regurgitating general principles." It's unfortunate.

Hey, Sage... I hope you have some time to spare. Truthless Recluse wants to talk to you.

*Gives Truthless Recluse a thumbs up and a pat on the head before hopping out of a window to give them space.*

- Egg Anon

t: ...goodbye..

f: ...

t: ....

why must you be like this. You let the words of others get to your head? That's not what the virtue of knowledge should be, you shouldn't cast aside your wisdom for insecurity. You know better than th-

f: YOU DON'T KNOW ME!

t: don't yell at me. Don't be a fool sage, *gently caresses sage's cheek* I may not know much about you but what I do know, is you're casting aside your truth for comforting lies. Lies will only hurt you in the long run. You can't see them and accept them as loving. You may not ever become that monster however the path you're on now will only force fates hand to be true. I gave up on the truth but you don't need to. Deceit, truth.

*backs up*

None of that matters but what does is who you are deep down, you are sage. A kind hearted loving figure of academia, the face and founder of many magics and even a teacher of such. Do not look me in the eyes and tell me that doesn't matter. It's not the life you chose but you choose to continue it. You fear failure, yes? Well you're failing yourself right now being some needless sad sap over the words of a single cookie that you took a liking to because of your own selfish jealously and crave for love.

This isn't how you get it. You be you. You aren't being you, you're being violent and sad. I like the you that's true to himself not some version burdened by words.

i told you I would accept you even if you became a beast, I lost love for the cookies and this world but I'll make an exception for you.

...

I care about you. I've grown to care. Because you remind me of who I was, a happier time for me.

I forgot that feeling..

f: .....

...I.. don't get it..

t: what do you not get? What is there to get, why I care? Why anyone would care about you? Don't pull that on me.. you deserve to be cared about. *Puts hand on sages shoulder*

f: ...ghk..i..mph.. *shakes head* no..

t: no? You don't think you do?

f: *shivering* ...i....

t: *noticing sage is trying to not cry* ...*sighs* do not avoid your emotions. I will not judge you..you are not what the beast says .

f: I AM THAT'S THE ISSUE.. HES RIGHT.

t: ....

f: how can I call myself a teacher when I cry more than my students and I've taught Kindergarteners!!

t: .....why yes, he's not wrong. That's just who you are. You're emotional but that's fine. You'll learn to control your emotions one day but doesn't everyone still have growing up to do...don't be coy or act insolent. Cry. I plead you.

bottling it up will only make you feel worse. Let your emotions free.

Don't. Be like me.

Do not ever be like me. Lose your emotions because you casted them aside.

You casted aside everything you stand for because of a failure and loss of yourself and someone you cared for. apathy isn't great. You feel no more burdens but you feel nothing.

cry.

I will be here.

f: .....

*hic*.. *sniffle* ..n..no I c..

t: *brings sage into a hug* cry. *Gently rubbing his back and running his hands through sage's starry yet milky hair* I'm sorry. I know I can't fix what's been done but I'm sorry. You hold so much pain in your heart and you're damaged but I can help pick up the pieces.. maybe I'll pick up my own if I'm lucky....

f: *crying*

t: I'll help you and you'll help me. Okay?..

..friend..

f: f-friend....?

thinking about the fragment of mythal's spirit finding flemeth. 'she was betrayed as I was betrayed'. morrigan confirming the version of flemeth's history that saw her living in poverty, sold by her husband to a lord who desired her. the parallels to the warden city elf origin. morrigan telling us it's easy to imagine how flemeth and mythal related to one another. 'betrayed by those sworn to love her'. mythals murder at the hands of her fellow gods, the figures that were her husband and children in dalish legends. 'mens hearts hold shadows darker than any tainted creature'. mythal being a fragment of who she was, split from herself, lost, and she 'clawed and crawled her way through the ages' to a woman betrayed and wounded and left for dead locked in the dark.

thinking about what that moment might've been like for both of them. flemeth lifting her head to a spirit reaching out to her. the fragment of mythal finding a place to rest in a soul that resonated with her. 'your grief must come later... in the dark shadows before you take vengeance, as my mother once said'. did flemeth mean mythal, when she spoke of her mother? was that something mythal said to flemeth in the moments before they became one? 'duty must come now'. duty to the world? flemeth carried mythal through the ages, nudging history when required, aiding and preparing the world for a reckoning she knew would come. 'considering what the world has done to me, I have already done more than it deserves'. the moments in history that could be read as mythal attempting to mend a world she helped to break, and wanting to protect the world that formed from what was broken from being destroyed all over again. she couldn't have done that without flemeth, who had no hand in breaking the world to begin with.

'i am but an old woman, whom the world has largely forgotten'. thedas as we know it wouldn't be there without flemeth. she was murdered, and solas painted her as an elf because he saw her as no more than a vessel for his oldest friend, and refused to acknowledge that he was murdering her too, because she was just a fragment. they'd lived for centuries as one person. kieran mentions that he feels lonely without the old god soul. it must've been lonely, watching and guiding the world as she did. maybe she doesn't hide that shes an old woman because of how the years might've weighed on her. 'regret is something I know well'. mythals regrets are never spoken of, because we never get the chance to hear them. would one of them have been burdening a mortal in such a way? or is that not something she could regret, because of how she came to her in the first place?

'regret that she would never see me again'. maybe it is a little jarring for players to hear morrigan speak of flemeth without all the vitriol we've come to expect. to hear something like sadness when we know what their relationship is like. but we saw flemeth's face when morrigan told her that she would not be like her, in her instant defence of kieran. it's been ten years since morrigan absorbed flemeth and mythals combined memories. she knows everything she's done and everything she's suffered, and how she might've felt about it all. all those regrets. sometimes we don't have to forgive the people who've hurt us to understand them. sometimes we love them despite it all.

When your oldest brother dies on a religious crusade just as you feared he would and your father refuses to deal with his grief just as he refused to deal with it when your mother died (you were a baby btw) and then again when your other brother left home (because your dad was impossible to live with) and in spite of feeling entirely abandoned by your dad you use your newfound higher status to put yourself out on a limb in order to downgrade his punishment and that of your close friend despite grieving their involvement with the queen who led your brother to his death but instead of your father acknowledging your pain and your attempts to do what you believe will bring justice he lashes out at you by comparing your current position to the horrific way your mother died…just Eärien things

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has agreed to pay $25 million to settle a lawsuit filed by former U.S. President Donald Trump over the suspension of his accounts following the January 6 Capitol riots. Trump sued Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2021, claiming political bias.

The settlement, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, allocates $22 million toward Trump’s presidential library and the rest to legal costs. While Meta will not admit wrongdoing, the move marks a turning point in Trump’s relationship with the tech giant. Meanwhile, Meta continues to make waves in AI, defending its $65 billion investment strategy amid rising competition from Chinese AI firms.

because leah looks closer to book annabeth than alexandria daddario

because book annabeth has a deep tan

because mixed families exist

because you don’t have to be biologically related to someone to be their cousin

because annabeth is never explicitly called white

because melanesian people exist

because there’s this one scene in tbol where percy is obsessing over how good annabeths curls look and it would be sooo cute if leah wore her natural hair in that season

BECAUSE LEAH IS A DAMN GOOD ACTRESS AND I WOULDNT WANT ANYONE ELSE PLAYING ANNABETH

edit: ALSO BECAUSE IN THE ORIGINAL PERSEUS MYTH ANDROMEDA IS A SUB SAHARAN AFRICAN PRINCESS, ANNABETH IS PERCYS ANDROMEDA - sorry i’m crying now (added this bc i don’t see andromeda getting portrayed correctly a lot)

tf1 megs is like. guy who is absolutely 100% convinced the system works and any pain it brings him is temporary until he grindset hustle cultures his way to a comfortable position. venerates megatronus because he is the stated fav prime of iacon's top dog, the guy who made the system work best for him. he feels personally betrayed when that system turns out not to work as he thought it did. he is not rewarded for his hard work and loyalty and belief, and then when he lashes out in a fit of anger he IS rewarded for it by the system set up by starscream and the high guard. so he leans hard into that so he doesn't have to think about everything else. and then that anger is what kills his bestie. so he triples down on it so he doesn't have to feel any of his other feelings. there is ideology there but it's not quite conscious yet. mostly what we see is a guy have the worst possible day of his life and react in ways just precisely wrong enough to keep the avalanche going.

most 23 years old megs of all time. my perfect little lad. i'm patting his stupid bucket head with so much love in my heart.

tf1 elita is incredibly similar to him but you don't see her ripping people in half for it. and that is because: she is not the central character of the film. and also because: her belief in the system doesn't rely on a single person. and she's had a smaller betrayal to get her used to the taste before the larger one. i'm patting her on the head too.
