Thinking about that time I had a patient who woke up after a brain biopsy, and, still in the OR, asked me if he could listen to System of a Down. We were on hold with the recovery area waiting for a bed, and so I played Lonely Day on the speakers ON REPEAT for 35 min (to the chagrin of all the OR staff.) The best part was, this dude was just sitting up in the stretcher head banging and rocking out, totally in the zone. Me and you, bud.

christ we're almost at 200 followers. I shouldn't really be surprised that this blog has gained popularity due to system communities often being found online and especially on tumblr
and yet I am surprised, because this blog started as a very silly thing and we're not the kind of people to extend reach as far as possible
don't really know what to say except thanks for sticking around, and thanks to those who send in asks and help keep the blog going :]

Eiden think it's some sort of golem. Or just some kind of giant made that just happens to be made of clay. It doesn't really make any difference what to call it if it's going to squash him.
The rocky terrain would be a pain in the ass to run so it's great that he's got wings but that thing is cutting it dangerously close, so when he spots the small crevice in the rock leading down to cave system it's either that or getting grabbed by the golem.
The fall is narrow and steep, forcing Eiden clench his teeth as he descends down nature's hell slide, made entirely out of rock and dust. He can see the giant finger attempting to fit down after him but ultimately gets stuck. The opening down this hole is so narrow is practically tossing Eiden, making it hard to spread his wings that feel like they're getting pretty tattered against the walls. Small rocks and dry mud falls after him in his fall that seems endless.
As the vertical tunnel opens into bigger area Eiden soon finds he still can't spread his wings properly. Quick glance in the back shows him it's crinkled, almost like paper, unable to hold weight. Eiden can only press his eyes shut, brace him to the fall against the cold hard ground.
---- only for it not to come.
Sure he lands on something but the fall seems to be cushioned by something. Slowly Eiden's eyes peer open as he turns to look at what he landed on.
" Eh... Uh. Huh?! "
It's been a while from the last time he saw the forest guardian and this... This... is some timing. No warning, no nothing. He thought he'd be happy and sure there's that relief but ultimately he completely doesn't know how to face him all in sudden like this, like he didn't embarrass himself the last time. The best thing he can do is to mumble out a weak greeting:
"…..h-hi.... "

I know copyright and intellectual property is bullshit, but how do I tell that to someone who's convinced that it protects small artists?
tell them about bill mantlo, creator of rocket racoon, whose brother has to start gofundmes to pay his medical bills while marvel makes millions off that character's merch. or to gary friedrich, creator of ghost rider, who sued marvel for using the character at a point where it should have returned to him, lost, and was then counter-sued for selling merch including sketches for fans at conventions. or alan moore, who vowed to never work with DC again after he was screwed out of owning watchmen. or the archetypal examples of this phenomenon, jack kirby (co-creator of iron man, captain america, ant-man, the hulk, and a fuckton more characters) who of course was also screwed out of any ownership, or jerry siegel and joe shuster, who spent decades fighting over the copyright to superman, a character they created and sold for $130 as desperate struggling artists and who then went on to make millions for DC comics.
or if they're not a comics fan, why not talk to them about robert kurvitz, head writer of disco elysium, who through an extremely suspect purchase lost the rights to the world of elysium, representing his life's creative work. or to hideo kojima, who was forced out of konami, keeping absolutely no rights to his iconic metal gear franchise, and had his demo for Silent Hills made into fucking vaporware that nobody can download anymore!
or about the time that disney used threats of legal action to put a stop to such nefarious infringement of their copright as 'being painted on the walls of a daycare' or 'being put on a child's gravestone'.
the thing about copyright is that it has to be enforced in court. a 'small artist' -- even ones who are independently successful and considerably wealthy -- can simply not afford to fight a protracted legal battle while paying top legal talent. disney and marvel and any other big media company, however, can fight as many legal battles as they want for as long and have the legal fees be a drop in the bucket. companies that can afford lawyers and can afford to, if it really comes down to it, lose a lawsuit -- that is, companies with millions of dollars to spare -- are simply above copyright law. this is not a bug--this is a feature. this is the system working as designed.
