#(Could he have been a professor

[peachducy]

he's been standing in front of this ice wall for like 6 days

[mueritos]

started a new job recently as a research assistant for a gay Latinx professor in my grad program, and while I definitely don't have the time to be doing my own research, working with this professor on his book projects has been so affirming and healing. i'm working on a book he hopes to publish soon that is full of interviews of gay and trans Latine men...and it is so fucking awesome. I feel so seen by the words I am reading, and I feel tears spring to my eyes looking at the photographs of these men. They look like family members, distant cousins, and family friends. They look so happy and full of confidence. I see myself in their eyes, recognizing the "fish" shape in our eyes that is so distinctly tied to Latines. One of the men in the book is a pup! And it is so beautiful seeing his smile as he holds his pup mask.

I have met very few queer latines. I don't know what it's like to have the tio or tia that has some secret aura to them, that "no se habla" vibes where everyone knows they're queer but just won't acknowledge it. Hell, this professor I'm working with is the first gay Latine man I've ever spoken to. I wish I had a community of gay Latines. I hope I am able to access that one day :)

"No. I got you."

I’ve already got dozens of Aus for PL so I may not delve into this fully, but I had an idea and I wanted to share so:

What if, instead of beating Hershel into a coma and ransacking his apartment, the government wanted to take a different action, one more permanent, not as far as murder but perhaps what could be considered much worse fate. Why hurt or kill him when they could use him for something else? They were trying to collect more participants for the Labyrinthia Project after all.

They send him to Labyrinthia, telling the Storyteller to ‘rewrite’ him under threat of closing the project entirely. With no other option, the Storyteller obeys, but gives Hershel quite an important and powerful role to compensate for his lack of a choice in the matter.

He becomes the Storyteller’s right hand, well respected and the only person with the Storyteller’s permission to wield magic in the open. The people of Labyrinthia are weary of him as a result.

Newton and Darklaw were extremely against Hershel being used against his will, but it wasn’t their decision to make, so they just tried to make Hershel feel welcome and helped him through the complete memory wipe and rewrite.

This is still a very basic concept, I’m coming up with details as I’m writing this down, but I wanted to share anyway.

Y'all... why does this give me intense nostalgia for a time I know I can never get back to?

Like... That's THE Pokémon song! The one you hear at the end of your journey. The one that makes you wanna go back to your mom and show her your Pokémon badges.

I really do love Pokémon lol. I love the games even though I hate battling. I'm actually in the process of trying to complete my Pokedex in Let's Go! Eevee, before I build my dream team for the Elite Four. I love my Eevee, I named her after my cat (as you do).

Idk... I'm tired, and in pain, and in my feelings about this song.

Speaking as an astronomer with an interest in science history:

#1 Isaac Newton was just LIKE THAT

#2 Isaac Newton and Edmond Halley (Maxwell Raynor) were very close friends so that has some potential implications.

I've been at one of the biggest conferences for my field over the past few days, and one of my old professors from undergrad was there. I hadn't approached him because he was always talking to people when I was wandering around, but he had also gone zipping past me multiple times when I was standing around and hadn't seemed to recognize me, so I figured that it had just been too long. Tonight I was hanging around with a group outside, waiting for their last few people to come out so we could head back to the main hotel. Since we were outside, I had my mask off. My old professor and his group came out, he glanced over- and immediately went "YOU!" and insisted that I join their group so I could catch him up on what I've been up to.

...apparently my mask just makes me completely unrecognizable.

He then proceeded to introduce me to his group of students as "a recent graduate of <their college>" and I had to tell him that it's been eight years, actually, and he had to take a couple minutes to recover from that.

(possibly funnier is the fact that on the first day of the conference, my advisor- who has seen me in a mask plenty of times, since I wear one on campus when I'm not in the grad space or outside- went tearing right by me (literally within two feet) (I think looking for check-in?) and evidently didn't notice. Ma'am, my old professor has the excuse of eight years and a mask, you saw me a week ago.)

After Azran Legacy Descole was left with a lot of clothes, personal items, and various souvenir trinkets left behind by the other former passengers of the Bostonious none of which was ever properly retrieved due to the groups sudden parting.

Rather than throwing it all out Descole has been trying to covertly return all items back to their original owners and because it’s Descole he’s probably returning the objects and whatnot in the most complicated way possible over a period of time.

Auroras stuff in particular remains safely stored in a box on the Bostonious.

i really am trying very hard to get better at not caring what people think of me but ummm. being rejected by my peers does still hurt a little!

I didn’t remember this particular plot point in Unwound Future, but… hoo boy am I having A LOT of feelings returning to it now, after playing Mystery Room, knowing that Alfendi went through very much of the same thing.

To socialise or not to socialise, that is the question.
