Lot's of great gems in this video.

But what caught my attention was the section where he mentioned the gene-seed tax.

First of, the sheer logistics of this is mind-boggling.

The records you would need to keep would have to be absolutely immaculate.

Like, you'd need to be up to date on every single active loyalist chapter (also the renegade and chaos one too, just for good measure -gene seed can be labgrown but if you get the opportunity to get your hands on more, you'd better well take ).

Have fun tracking all of the fleet based chapters.

Also, astartes are a limited resource as is. I can't imagine they would be able to spare brothers to deliver their taxes to the mechanicus.

Rather, I imagine there would be tax-collectors.

A special branch of the mechanicus dedicated solely to the task of collecting and delivering the precious geneseed to the gene vaults on holy mars itself.

Dangerous work for sure. The perils inherent to space travel, piracy wether by human, choas or alien or other intersted parties who would love nothing more then to get their hands on this precious resource.

Likely they would also face the outright hostility or at a minimum the suspicion of the chapters themselves. (They can gain insight into the workings of a chapter and can be on the lookout for, say potential signs of corruption of the chapter, in addition to making certain, that the geneseed they are to collect has not been tampered with)

Where a chapter of sufficient esteem might refuse the inquisition, they might think twice before spurning the tax collectors and thus earning the ire of the mechanicus.

A devision of this branch would be dedicated to the tracking and hunting of renegade and traitor chapters.

Whilst there would undoubtedly be a bounty set on those chapters, this devision would have a versted interst in making certain, that parties in the possession of illegally acquired geneseed, would be inclined to sell the geneseed to the mechanicus over other intersted parties.

The Beatles interviewed in 1964, London airport after returning from Paris, France

PAUL: Wilder stuff I think, we- we stuck in a wilder number y’know… to finish off with-

JOHN: [mutters] ‘Gone With The Wind’

PAUL: [Instantly looks at John] ‘Gone With The Wind’ [laughs]

INTERVIEWER: They go for the Elvis Presley type of stuff though do they? I mean do they go for the rock and roll stuff?

PAUL: I think so yeah, a bit more. I might- [Paul stutters and John’s head snaps up] It depended really who was in… upon… [misspeaks and looks down at John as if he wants him to tell him what to say] depended upon who was in [John and Paul both laugh looking at each other] I- I can’t speak. Speaking French so much, you see

INTERVIEWER: What?

PAUL: *imitates French*

[John smiles and turns his whole body towards Paul]

INTERVIEWER: You’ve brushed up your French, have you?

PAUL: Nah, kidding I can’t speak a word of it.

INTERVIEWER: You still can’t speak a word?

PAUL: No… [Suddenly looks down at John] John’s… very good-

JOHN: *imitates French*

PAUL: Je- Bonsoir and all that sort of stuff very- oh he’s very good.

———————

NOW. I might be going crazy- but it sounds like John says something like ‘je vous veux’ (I want you) or ‘je vous aime’ (I love you) when he ‘speaks French’, although his pronunciation still has a prominent Scouse accent to it.

As with most clips, the audio quality is very poor and it’s very faint but anything is possible when these two are involved… If anyone speaks French please tell me if I’m onto something or if I’m going crazy lol

Adds a new layer to the ‘My Cheri’ home recording of John……

All the French aside, Paul is soooo obvious this whole interview. He interacts with John every chance he gets- that moment when he misspeaks and instantly looks at John so they’re both in on the joke- I mean come on…

ft. more neck content because you guys asked so nicely

i know i shouldnt dwell on stupid opinions like this but a while ago i saw someone complain that Applin was a boring concept bc its just a worm in an apple and i was FLOORED. this iirc was in response to smth about gen 1 designs being boring as well

its not just a worm its a Wyrm its a pun. that is a concept. maybe you don't like it personally but to say its objectively bad is certainly Something. not every pokemon has to be based on a myth or something else fantastical to be a good concept. you Need "boring" pokemon for the dex to feel complete, if Everything is Cool then nothing is actually cool

"gamefreak is running out of ideas" yeah there's a billion fish pokemon but they're all actually very different to each other, lanturn is an anglerfish and lumineon is a butterfly fish. say what you will abt gamefreak rn its probably warranted but imo the one thing they still do right 100% of the time is unique concepts for each pokemon. the execution can be debated but the fundamentals are always there

Not to mention there s so much to critique about infinikki, namely how Clunky everything feels. The menus arent responsive at all, jt takes a full 3 seconds to open and close somethin, the esc key doesnt work on All pages just Some of them, the movement is slow and jumping onto things is fiddly, but somehow nikki is also very floaty and jumping with her isnt v satisfying. Kinda sucks for a platforming game huh?

There s other smaller things like abilities bein region locked for no good reason, the sound design in cutscenes (and general tbh) being lacking to put it in the kindest of words, the weird sorting system in the wardrobe + styling battle screen (so why exactly arent you showing me the latest aquired clothes/ the highest rated item for the particular filter i put on?? Its ur only job??? Also y does the eureka screen not have a filter for style types like sexy elegant sweet etc?? I hate the score calculator of eurekas but i ll stop)

[phoenix-is-the-hottest-thing]

What is the 'captainverse' shit? I always just ignored it tbh but I have seen many incels justify shipping the canon lesbians with men because 'captain is canonically male so all valks are bi' when as far as I can tell captain is canonically not fucking real as the only captain of the hyperion ever mentioned is Himeko.

Hmmm so I'd like to avoid being overly negative. I'll answer you, but watch your tone in the future.

Captainverse was a storyline that spanned a ton of events over multiple years. It concluded last year or so with one final fluffy event after all the drama. The Captainverse storyline isn't relevant to the main story of Hi3 but happens in the Sea of Quanta, so it would be "real" in that sense.

Bronie AKA Haxxor Bunny (has an expy in Honkai Star Rail named Silver Wolf, which you may be familiar with) appears briefly in the Moon Arc, and one of Misteln's Stigmata children seemed to hail from her world. There's also suspicious wish-granting devices in the sea that may or may not link back to Sa's shenanigans, but we don't have proof of that (plus those were written long before Sa was).

The main character of the Captainverse is an ex high-ranking Schicksal captain hailing from an alternate world to the Main Story's, referred to only as... "Captain". There's also another recurring person named "Ferryman" who turned out to be a hopeless version of Captain due to some time shenanigans. He has his own Hyperion, separate from the one in canon. I think his original backstory was being sent on some mission by Otto in the Sea? He was originally designed as a self-insert but later became his own character.

Captainverse has ship tease with some girls, but there's also plenty of girls who show zero romantic interest in the Captain, so you've been told a generalization. The main "ships" with the Captain are two Theresas who aren't actually called Theresa: the vampire Luna and the immortal tactician Kongming. Captain saved their lives at great cost to himself... the fireworks...

Many of these stories are quite well-told and may bring you to tears TuT

Oh, Captainverse actually has its fair share of sapphics. If you like that, it's a shame you never gave it a chance. For example, Kasumi (amnesiac Sakura with extra steps) and a Kallen from a different world found each other in Captainverse and seem well on their way to find the happy ending they never got in the main story due to things such as "dying". Kasumi's origin story event was also a direct result of Kallen being in love with Sakura...

@sacron1143 knows the most about actual Captainverse lore, so best to ask there if you're genuinely curious. Don't bother if you're gonna be a hater though. There's also this document but I'm not sure it's fully up to date.

I hope that gave you sufficient context! That said, I think you're better off just ignoring what the people you don't agree with do for fun. Clearly, neither of you are arguing in good faith to begin with.

we should write cookies i miss pure vanilla cookie

ㅤㅤ❝ What an honor to meet the founder of the grounds I'm stepping on, from an objective perspective, your kingdom is nothing short of a marvelous haven for research. Despite the eccentricities of your citizens and my explicitly differing views, I would not be here if these claims of mine were not true. To what deserves it, praise should be rightfully given. To that, you have my sincere appraisal; yet to think that out of everyone, you would make your appearance shown to the one who holds you with the biggest scepticism.... Pardon my chuckle, but something tells me that the world must truly be in dire conditions for a white magic wielder to seek an audience with a 'blasphemer' such as myself. However, it is precisely why I've dedicated so many years to my magic. By all means, my pursuit of knowledge holds no selfish intentions, and those who search for it are all equally enlightened to take a sip from it if that is what they wish. Be it gods, demigods, or mere cookies humans. By all means, I'm honored to be of service. ❞

Ebonsong Lore of the Day - Day 6

For all that his nature implies, Hircine rarely begets demiprinces. On the rare occasions he does, he tends to prefer to be involved in their upbringing in some way or another, so that he can influence them toward his domain.

My mountain dew flavored alpaca friend, PLEASE tell me Míchéal and Sparrow are related. Feral mechanic and a feral bird, let the 141 quake in their spit shined boots.

Sadly, no. :( Míchéal and Sparrow are not related. Sparrow is not only an American soldier who ends up being transferred over to be a pilot for Task Force 141 during missions that require it, but she's also an only child who grew up in a small town in a pretty 'red neck' part of America. Sparrow gives off the vibes of having grown up around a lot of siblings tho. That's because of how closely knit her community was within her small home town, and the fact that she did have a good handful of cousins.
