“It’s still no professional league in South Africa, hopes that that will change. But there is pay equity between the men’s national team and the women’s national team. First time that has happened by a major African soccer country.”

Your interpretation of Hector talking with Bauhauzzo post-game (if you can see that happening) would be neat!!

oh the horrors of knowing no one can fix the problem except for you

One of these days I need to write an actual essay-style meta on how much Outer Wilds is a game about grief. It's not just that it depicts a lot of loss - it intentionally tells such a wide range of stories about how people and communities handle a loss, in all the different forms that can take, and all the different consequences that can have.

There's the Nomai, losing contact with the rest of their culture and each other, and coping with their loneliness and mourning in the little out-of-the-way journal entries and big scientific projects alike we see in their texts.

There's the Hearthian village grieving Feldspar, and the range of ways we see them and their disappearance talked about: a temporary setback, a death, an ascent into legend, or just the empty, missing space where a friend used to be.

There's the devastation of the owlks, compelled to bet the existence and comfort of their very home on an objective that later betrayed them, and reacting in anger and abject sorrow once they realized what they'd done, and in fear of the somehow even greater loss the Eye promised.

There's Gabbro, aware of the loops and the supernova and maintaining a calm that often rides the line between peace and forced apathy - because there's just nothing they can do to stop it, and on some level they already know that, and have either grieved it already, or are deciding simply to avoid that grief indefinitely.

And then, of course, there's the hatchling. Faced with the slow unfolding of final, utter loss, at the very beginning of their career. I will never get over that, how much grief was forced into their young brain to be processed, how much they had to come to terms with something no one is supposed to be able to handle, even if they have infinite time and space to do it.

Outer Wilds takes all this grief, and paints it on a backdrop of spinning planets and glittering distant supernovae. It never shies away from the reality of how bleak and heavy it all is, but it leans so much into the beauty of it, too. In order to lose you first must have loved. There is so much to love about this world, about its planets and its people, past and present. It deserves an essay. It seems I can't even post quickly about how much it means to me, without almost writing one.

Another day Another Spar. The first one is partly a gift to @/tadporridge, (Who watched me draw the whole thing,) and partly pure self indulgence. Feldspar paid a visit to Hatchy n Goss at the 0G cave and let Hatchy wear the helmet. Second is part of my updated headcanon Feldspar ref, Feat.. Blindspar. ::) Partially inspired by dialogue and partially inspired by the situation they're in : and also : I can do what I want.

i think grian's whole fishing Thing this season is like the best example ever about how yes-anding things and going with The Bit is such an essential part of hermitcraft. like you KNOW this man did not have "build a cod dungeon shrine for the enchanted book gods" on his S10 plans but here we are,

Keiko dropping Yoshi and Molly off at Kira's for babysitting one night, and not noticing that she gave Kira a kiss goodbye until Molly brings it up to her a few days later, when dropping the kids off again.

"Mommy, you forgot Auntie Nerys!"

"Molly, what do you mean, sweetheart?"

"You forgot her kiss goodbye! You gave Yoshi and me our kisses, but you forgot Auntie Nerys's!"

cue a realization™

doodling and reminiscing about things

still think so often about the scene where geo is telling sora he doesn't know his parents bc he got abandoned or w/e and sora was like "damn, wish that were me." Absolute queen of not reading the room

[mrsoharaa]

Heavily making out with an intent, greedy Barou on your shared couch (with him laid out comfortably beneath you) and he just gets soo into it, so reeled by the sweet lingering taste of your essence on his tongue, that he grabs you by the back of your neck to deepen the heated, breathy intoxicating exchange of entangled tongues and shorten breaths. Heftily grumbles out steep vibrating growls against your slick sweetness, thick fingers entangling and weaving deep into your scalp, pushing you further and further. ♡
