[goldpilot22]

kinda experimental thing that didn't quite turn out how I wanted but still looks pretty cool

I don’t know guys I was told Dune Messiah would be boring but so far I’m having a BLAST. Teenage Alia is iconic, half the scenes are Chani and Irulan snipping at each other while Alia chills and instigates. There’s a pompous fishman floating in orange liquid and a resurrected hot guy who’s there to seduce people apparently. Paul is just moping in a corner. This is great.

something something "wolf-kissed" is such a perfect epithet for eivor not just because it's a descriptor for the wolf bite, but because it sounds badass while "kissed" implies some degree of tenderness, and in combination those two things kind of perfectly encapsulate eivor's character in this essay i will

The Halliwells are sort of 'what if Sam and Dean were more normal about each other because they aren't doomed by the narrative to be in a horror show, stuck in a cycle of endless hopeless paranoid tragedy'.

They're the model for The Most Normal I Think They Are Ever Capable Of Being (living in a house together where their SOs get disrespected because only Siblings Get Votes)

Right down to 'younger sibling gets demon bf/gf, older sibling gets angel bf'

your honor I love them

We got together one night in the kitchen. And like… it was beef again, so we felt bad, man, but at least none of us were vegan. The meat couldn’t go off because I was there. There was a lot of it, but we had a lot of people who needed a feed. We sat there with the window cracked so G—could hear us while he manned the barbie, which in the dark gets unwholesome as hell, and we ate off paper plates, and I told them… I told them, ‘This is it! We were put here to save the planet. We’re going to save the planet! We’re not going to let them run away, we’re going to fix this!’

And they were all, “YEAH, JOHN!”, because they were my friends and they loved me. But, because they were also dicks and most of them had multiple tertiary degrees, they were also like, ‘How though.’

Guys I’m not too proud to admit it; I would, in a heartbeat, give up all of Alecto the Ninth and all resolution of the real plot of TLT in exchange for getting a whole book about the OG lyctor gang hfskjdfhadkjfhasd it’s my toxic trait. very fortunate that this is not an issue left in my hands tbh, I would have hurt myself as well as everyone else in my hunger. there is just something deeply broken in my brain that I look at the people already doomed by the narrative to destroy themselves and each other in the most horrific ways and who made all the wrong decisions and kept fucking up again and again over thousands of years and my eyes fill with tears and I'm like '...I love them all so much'

In 1648, a group of Russian townsmen intercepted Tsar Alexei during his return from pilgrimage to Trinity-St Sergei Monastery. They wished to provide him a petition, bringing attention to the "powerful people" who "by their destructiveness and greed are formenting trouble between You, the sovereign, and the whole land." Tsar Alexei had them arrested.

"The Tsar is good but his boyars are bad" is a Russian proverb with a long history, going back to at least Ivan the Terrible. The 1905 Revolution was precipitated by Father Gapon leading a march of petitioners, adorned with Orthodox icons and portraits of the Tsar, to deliver a list of asks to Tsar Nicholas II. They were fired upon by the Imperial Guard, well over a hundred killed and a thousand injured. Father Gapon was heard to exclaim:

There is no God any longer. There is no Tsar.

The tradition continued in Soviet times, with millions of letters being penned to Stalin in a desperate attempt to bring his attention to the abuses by commissars and communist officials. Stalin happily leaned into the idea of a "Good Tsar", and in his article Dizzy with Success he blamed issues of collectivisation on "overzealous" "comrades" and "socialisers." Shortly afterwards, Stalin doubled down on forcible collectivisation leading to millions of deaths.

Now we come to Putin, also cultivating an image of himself as the Good Tsar. Letter petitions updated for the 21st century. As the situation on the front deteriorates, and Russian insurgents wreak havoc in Belgorod, Viktor Kalugon, 65, wonders:

“I hope our forces will not allow the Fascists to enter here. As long as we have Putin, nobody will be able to take Russia. If only he could deal with the generals.”
