It's her btw:
Tumblr media
I don't collect figures anime/game/comic or otherwise bc of the price point. I collect dolls so this is out of my range knowledge. But I did some research on figures beforehand and decided at almost 3am that She was worth it. She is a 1/8th by MYETHOS set to release in 2025 i believe? At least that is what the Crunchyroll listing had.
I don't play the game she is from or whatever I just think she's pretty.
But I am having ... Regret bc of price point and other personal guilt of buying something for myself. So I am asking for the aid of the pixels of Tumblrs. Thank you in advance <3

[ 📹 The martyred bodies of 8 civilians are bid farewell by their families at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, following an overnight bombing of a residential home in the city by the Israeli occupation forces. 📈 An infographic summarizes facts and figures on the ongoing Nakba on its 74th Anniversary. When, in 1948, nearly 134'000 Palestinian civilians were murdered by Zionists and around 1 million displaced out of a population at the time of approximately 1.4 million. The ethnic cleansing never really stopped, but took on new forms over the decades and continues to this day in the form of the current genocide in Gaza. More info found in #source1 . ]
🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨
DAY 221: 74TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NAKBA, UN VEHICLE TARGETED, OCCUPATION BOMBING MURDERS ENTIRE PALESTINIAN FAMILIES
On the 221st day of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed 8 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of 82 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, and wounding at least 234 others.
It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.
This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.
Today, on the 74th anniversary of the Nakba, the Catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinian people when the Zionist entity established itself through the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the native population of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Starting in 1948, and continuing to this day, the Palestinian National Council released a statement commemorating the horrors of the Nakba that began on this day 74 years ago.
The National Council states that the Nakba resulted in the forced displacement of 800'000 Palestinians, out of the 1.4 million citizens living on the land that was stolen from them at gunpoint, and which eventually came to create the modern-day occupied territories of the Israeli entity.
According to the National Council, the Israeli occupation "controlled 774 towns and villages, and destroyed 531 Palestinian towns and villages during the Nakba. The atrocities of the Zionist forces also included more than 70 massacres in which more than 15 thousand Palestinians were martyred."
Since then, a sort of slow-rolling Nakba has continued, despite the Palestinian population doubling more than 10 times since 1948, while more than 100'000 Palestinians have been murdered by the Israeli occupation since the Nakba, and more 1 million detentions of Palestinians have occured since that time.
The National Council also points to the expansion of Israeli settlements, sites and military outposts in the occupied West Bank, which totalled 471 by 2020, of which, 151 were Israeli colonial settlements, and 26 inhabited outposts.
The Israeli occupation continues to confiscate more Palestinian lands, using the classification system created by the Oslo Accords to justify the continued expansion of the Israeli entity, while settler attacks continue on a daily basis.
You can read more about the historical and ongoing Nakba by clicking #source1 at the bottom of this post.
Back in the Gaza Strip, today marks the 8th day of the Israeli occupation army's operations in the Rafah Governate, in the southern Gaza Strip, where Israeli Merkava tanks and other armored vehicles penetrated Salah al-Din Street, east of the Rafah Governate.
According to local reporting, occupation armored vehicles penetrated west of the Rafah Crossing, which remained closed for the 8th consecutive day, blocking any and all humanitarian or medical aid and supplies from reaching the Gaza Strip.
This forces starvation on the Palestinian population, while the sick and wounded are prevented from exiting the enclave to receive treatment outside Gaza's collapsing healthcare system.
According to the report, Zionist occupation tanks and armored vehicles entered West of the Rafah crossing in what appeared to be an attempted incursion across the border with Egypt.
In separate movements, Merkava tanks were seen entering George Street through the Al-Salam neighborhood, as occupation artillery shelling targeted the area.
Israeli artillery also targeted the Brazil neighborhood, as well as the Al-Tanour neighborhood surrounding the Al-Najjar Hospital and Khirbet al-Adas, where the Israeli occupation shelled the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, resulting in a fire and destroying the building.
The same reporting states that Zionist tanks, armored vehicles and air forces expanded their bombing and artillery shelling campaign into central Rafah, targeting the Al-Awda roundabout, as well as the Al-Shaboura and Yabna Refugee Camps, the most densely populated areas in the city.
According to the United Nations, over 350'000 Palestinians have been displaced from the Rafah area, most of whom were displaced from other areas of Gaza after being forced to flee from Israeli military operations in various axis.
At the start of the Israeli entity's ground operations in Rafah, more than 1.4 million Palestinians had been crammed into the city of Rafah, which had a pre-war population of around 175'000 people.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation's ongoing bombing and shelling targeted various sectors of the Gaza Strip; north, south, east and west, slaughtering entire families and destroying countless Palestinian homes and businesses.
In the middle of the night, occupation warplanes targeted a 3-story residential home belonging to the Karaja family, south of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, mass murdering 14 Palestinian civilians, including several children, and wounding a number of others. Updated reports say the death toll has since increased to 18.
According to the Central Committee in Rafah, as a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing invasion and bombardment of the Rafah Governate, all healthcare centers in the east and central neighborhoods of Rafah City have been evacuated under threat of the occupation army's bombardment.
As a result of the occupation's continuous artillery shelling targeting the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), in the Khirbet al-Adas neighborhood, north of Rafah, the building eventually caught fire and was destroyed.
The crimes of the Israeli occupation continued when Zionist fighter jets bombed a civilian's house in the Bakr Land area, west of Gaza City, while a separate bombing targeted Beit Lahia, in the northwest of the Palestinian enclave, and also continued pummeling the Jabalia Refugee Camp, in the northern Strip.
The war crimes of the Israeli occupation continued when an IOF air raid targeted the Tal al-Zaatar area, as well as the School square in the Jabalia Camp, while local paramedic crews were unable to reach the sites due to the continued bombardment of the area.
Following those crimes, the Zionist occupation army shelled several residential areas of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, after which, local civil defense and paramedic personnel were able to recover the bodies three martyred civilians and transported 9 wounded Palestinians to nearby hospitals.
Similarly, occupation air forces bombed a gathering of civilians in the vicinity of the Salah al-Din Gate, south of the city of Rafah, killing at least one civilian and wounding a number of others, while further Zionist jets bombarded the Al-Salam, Al-Geneina, Al-Tanour, and Brazil neighborhoods of the city.
Continued bombing of the Nuseirat and Al-Bureij Refugee Camps, in the central Gaza Strip, similarly resulted in the deaths of another 6 civilians.
Additionally, the Zionist army vastly escalated its ground operations in the Jabalia Camp, storming 6 displacement shelters housing homeless civilians, during which the occupation army arrested hundreds of Palestinians, executing dozens more and displacing thousands, forcing families to leave Jabalia for western Gaza while under continuous bombardment.
Further air raids by occupation aircraft resulted in the destruction of more than 100 homes in the Jabalia area.
IOF warplanes also bombed a residential home belonging to the Masoud family on Al-Nuzha Street in Jabalia al-Balad, north of Gaza, while another house belonging to the Abdel Rahman family was bombed in the Jabalia Refugee Camp, opposite the Al-Faluja School, killing a child and wounding several others.
At the same time, Zionist aircraft bombed another Palestinian home belonging to the Al-Safadi family on Old Gaza Street in Jabalia, killing and wounding a number of civilians, while yet another bombing of a home in Beit Lahiya killed three Palestinians and wounded several children.
Occupation forces have also penetrated the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City for the 5th day, while occupation D9 armored bulldozers destroyed the southern wall of the Al-Sabra medical clinic and also destroyed the power network and several water tanks.
Zionist fighter jets further bombed a residential house in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of central Gaza City.
In yet another horrific war crime, the Israeli occupation army targeted a clearly marked United Nations vehicle carrying personnel belonging to the World Health Organization (WHO), killing the Palestinian driver and one WHO employee, and wounding two others, one critically.
Gaza faces further catastrophe as yet another Palestinian hospital, the European Gaza Hospital in this case, has lost electricity generation due to running out of fuel, a result of the continued closure of the Rafah and Kerem Shalom border crossings.
Meanwhile, IOF warplanes bombed a school in the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of four Palestinians who were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, while occupation artillery shelling hammered neighborhoods north of the Camp, killing at least four others.
As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among the local population has risen to exceed 35'173 Palestinians killed, including over 15'000 children and 10'000 women, while another 79'061 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

about me: a writeblr re-re-re-introduction
Hello! My old pinned post is officially over a year old and makes me cringe whenever I'm on my blog, so it's time to freshen things up again!
me
I'm Teri, I'm smack dab in the middle of my 20s and figuring out life. My writing is pretty exclusively original stuff, a lot of novels and a lot of fantasy, but I play around with various genres in short stories. Sort of a jack-of-all-trades in regards to hobbies - aside from writing, there's anything from baking to drawing with my ancient art tablet to cross-stitch to playing music to rambling around the patch of woods near my house to watching long-form D&D let's plays.
my goals
I recognize that every time I post something like this, it's with the intention of finally becoming as active on writeblr as I was during the pandemic. I also recognize I've never quite managed that.
So here are some more general goals to get me through 2024:
Finish my 2nd draft of Beyond Alder Creek
Write as cringey and brutally honest as I never allowed myself to as a teenager.
Speaking of, a large reading/writing goal of mine is to go back through every NaNo draft I've ever written (I've participated since 2011). So aside from just reading that and likely turning it into a whole spectacle on here for people's amusement, generally just survive reading through the writing from 8th grade. Stay tuned for more on that in the coming weeks lol
Finally, I have a general goal every year of reaching 100K words, between writing and editing and the like, but I'd happily be a little looser with that goal if it meant getting through others.
And now, without further ado:
my writing
Before I get specifically into WIPs, a general overview of the kind of writing you can expect from me:
As I said, I'm a fantasy nerd. I love worldbuilding, both on a large scale (nations and cultures and political relationships) and a small scale (a magic shop in an otherwise contemporary setting).
There's not a lot of romance in my writing, but there Are a lot of transformational relationships and codependency. Friendships, siblings, guardians, general ride-or-dies.
Thought experiments. I've been trying to catch and indulge more in my 'wait, what if?' ideas. Sometimes, that's fun little snippets of silly ideas, sometimes it's a majorly emotionally heavy scene for a story I'll never write. Sometimes, it's coming up with ideas to 'combine genres'. It's all about expanding the range.
wips*
Beyond Alder Creek /// draft 2 /// tag: bac
Winnie Pewitt has never believed in the fae. That is, until her little brother disappears, and she stumbles upon a faerie ring on the edge of town. Inside, a man seemingly carved from gold suggests that he knows who took the boy. With everyone else around their hometown accepting her brother's fate as certainty, Winnie takes it upon herself to craft the perfect deal and enter the realm of the fae with her new companion in tow.
The Lies in the Legend /// draft 1 /// tag: litl
The fictional autobiography of an elven noblewoman who rose rapidly in station and influence from an unremarkable youth to a diplomatic powerhouse. Spanning centuries during the prime of her life, Lady Ghislaine Agassi charts the course of her career and reputation, and highlights the dangers of making myths out of our idols.
*Though these are my primary WIPs, I have a page that covers various other WIPs and projects that I've brought up over the past few years.
I think that about covers everything! As always, I can't make any promises about how the year will wind up and where it takes us. But I will say, I've actually been writing recently, and yk I'm just gonna ride that high.
And for fun, here's some random facts about me:
fun facts
I have degrees in psychology and music!
I've lived across three continents, but currently live in upstate New York for whatever reason lol
The animals I've ridden on the back of include: horse, pony, elephant, and ostrich. The horse was my least favorite. By far.
I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes a couple months after Covid landed stateside (in May 2020) and am Always ready to talk someone's ear off about it.
The first story I ever wrote was on PowerPoint and was about war breaking out between humans and aliens that had taken refuge on Earth after their planet was destroyed. I was 8. There was a Lot of Clipart involved.
I've never been published, but I once secretly planned out, wrote, edited, and self-printed a couple copies of a novel about my best friends and our college apartment. They received it for Christmas last year and loved it (or at least were kind enough to tell me they did)!

If I ever finish my book, its subtitle will be "A Paranoid Reading of Homestuck" I think. Describes both form and content
Mobster Kingpin (whose bust is depicted by a mosaic of urban murals, who lords over the dollhouse world the heros inhabit) is located, like many of Hussie's villains, along the 4th wall, and his career of moonshinery seems related to a characterization of perception as the distillation of the perceived objects' essence -- Roxy's orange pumpkins give way to Dirk's orange soda, as one of the little ways their early relationship s premised upon a division between simplicity and abstraction. In Homestuck abstraction kills the simple (RIP Jaspers), and Dirk becomes a Daunting Text when he "sucks the fun out of shit. like a turd hungry dracula" -- a phraseology that returns us to the liquid conception of essence and points us to Kanaya, "rainbow drinker" being among other things a euphemism for the eyeball, which takes in color -- and insofar as troll reproduction is vaguely judicial in tone, the drones holding their buckets like scales, the Mother Grub seems posed in part as yet another threatening paradigm of viewership, demanding of you your essence. The earliest instance of this is in act 1: John's allusion to being allergic to the scorn of the peanut gallery is followed by a commercial for Hi-C Ectocooler -- a weirdly obtuse seeding of Her Imperious Condescension, whose character is downstream of a more general racialization of the 4th wall. Act 1 drags the sylladex into the fear of abstraction, first by having the narration express apprehension toward alien lingo like "captchalogue", and again when John drops the cat-killer, causing his arms (both fake and real) to be locked away in a box. Right? Right.
Dave shouts/throws his NINJA SWORD at a sticky fingered crow (crows would later, in a dream, act as Dave's personal 4th walls) and implicitly hurls an N WORD at a black figure, contributing to the comic's general air of racialized paranoia. A stupid pun, yes. Prior to this incident, there was a collision in Dave's hash map between NINJA SWORD and JUICE which, given the pejorative status of the former, suggested the latter might be an implicit JEWS. A stupid pun, yes. But as point 1 indicate, we actually have a pretty broad pattern of paranoia surrounding "juice"
The first time I became aware of possible antisemitism in Homestuck was a scene where Jack Noir commands all the Felt to get in the oven -- a couple readers wondered if it were a coincidence that the page had been published on Holocaust Remembrance Day, like a sort of hostile spin on the Christmas alchemy binges, or the New Years ball-drops at Jade and Jane's towers. With point 1 in mind in strikes me as curious that the (tentative) archetypally antisemitic archetype of the story would be the locking away of "juice" in a container, here invoked by the genocidal antisemitism of the Nazis. Likewise the way Lord English's manic glare often resolves into an 88 -- a number twice invoking the 8th letter of the alphabet H and thereby Heil Hitler -- would be consistent with the eye's general depiction as that which distills "juice". I had some anons wondering if the hints that the Mother Grub collects the blood of Alternia's children amounted to a blood libel smear, and I still don't know tbh, but we've apparently problematized rainbow drinking from another angle, so cheers to that
That the hostility towards abstraction might be among Homestuck's ciphers for antisemitism casts a different light on John's sharp rejection of psychoanalytic paradigms and "psycho-babblery"...? Like Freud is being invoked partly for his Jewishness... and that Freud's widely considered indefensible is utilized to let the antisemitic antiintellectualism pass through smoothly, I guess...

Kaiju Week in Review (November 27-December 3, 2022)
Tumblr media
Netflix released the Norwegian blockbuster Troll on Thursday. It's decent. I'm glad that original creature features can still exist, but unfortunately there's not much to set this one apart from the pack besides the novel setting and monster. Readers of this column will have no trouble predicting nearly every story beat. Props for including a cute hacker (and the wacky operation shown above... trolls hate church bells, you see).
Tumblr media
IDW finally published Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Gigan, which was originally supposed to come out on May 25 with a different artist. I'd say it's my second-favorite of the series, after the King Ghidorah issue. The premise—the Nebulans upload fighting techniques from gamers around the world into Gigan and sic him on Seattle—was always going to be a winner, and it actually does something with its period setting. Great action, and I'm delighted the Nebulans finally came back in a big way.
Tumblr media
The Colorado-based toy company Titanic Creations has licensed Gorgo, and they've got big plans for the Irish Godzilla. The DopePope sculpt above will be the basis for a super-articulated figure; announced alongside it were a graphic novel that follows the 1961 film and (more tentatively) an animated film! The comic is due in 2024 and will be set in the same universe's that the company's original kaiju inhabit. Now they just need a bawdy novelization of the new film to complete the Gorgo hat trick.
Tumblr media
Student-run Studio Mujaku has a short in the works, titled Midnight the Era, which will combine tokusatsu and hand-drawn animation. Fascinating premise—in a world where nuclear weapons are replacing human-controlled kaiju as deterrents, one of Japan's kaiju decides to resist its decommissioning. The storyboards and teaser trailer look lovely too. One scary caveat, from the SciFi Japan article: "Unlike many student works, MIDNIGHT THE ERA will not be released on YouTube. Instead, it is scheduled to premiere at the Summer 2023 Comiket comic convention in Tokyo. DVDs of the film will also be sold at Studio Mujaku's booth during the convention." So this might end up being one of those kaiju shorts that'll be nigh-impossible to see in the West unless you go to G-Fest (if that).
youtube
Godziban dropped another mostly-filler episode which recaps season 1, though it does start with a short scene of Rodan teaching Radon to fly. They're really testing Wikizilla's color-coding abilities with all these segments!
Tumblr media
Radon is also getting a Bandai Movie Monster Series figure later this month, alongside the Godziban Anguirus. Images not to scale; I'd expect Radon to be about the size of the Minilla and Little figures.
In other Godzilla toy news, Playmates VPs of Marketing John Stelzner and Pat Linden went on the Adventures in Collecting Podcast and revealed some of the company's plans for the line. Offerings next year will include Baragon (not sure which one) and a new Titan Tech figure. They'll also be making more figures of MonsterVerse kaiju from before Godzilla vs. Kong, are working on a line for the fifth MonsterVerse film, and have their sights set on Hedorah and Biollante for the classic line.
I'll close with a reminder that Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time will be playing in U.S. theaters on the 6th, 8th, and 11th. My semester also ends on the 11th, so I'm in crunch mode now, but I'm still hoping to carve out the time to see it.

It is time. I bring to you images of the Aniplex 1/8th scale Kalim figure I have (I apologize that the lighting in my room is dogshit.)

Bonus pic of where he hangs with Riddle and Azul. (No, Azul isn't holding his contract. I have to keep it in a tiny case or my cats will knock it around. I have learned that the hard way.)
Tumblr media
;w; I'm so happy to have him in the collection now. Kalim my angel, my darling, my sweet boy. 💕

Decklist Contraption - Holiday Special!
Warning: Long post
*inhales*
*clears throat*
*pushes up glasses*
*adjusts bunch of plushies- uh- ahem.*
Season's greasons, Duelists! A very merry Zarcmas to all!!
(Oh God it's the 8th time now what the fuck-)
Today I present you a very silly, very convoluted, veeeeery sacky decklist in the spirit of the holidays. Ever wondered how it'd feel like to end the duel before it begins? Well, you're in luck, because I have one such method of highly fluctuating consistency!
Introducing.... Tricksturbance Strategy Turbo!
Tumblr media
The premise is very simple, in spite of all the variables. You need to go first, punt Z-ARC into the Pendulum zone, and set down either (or both) of Trickstar Reincarnation and Disturbance Strategy, all before your opponent's main phase.
Every card in the deck plays a part in that (to the best of its barely coherent ability)- and that's what I'll be detailing below!
Main Deck (40 cards):
1x Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon: Just fodder for Celestial Soul, really.
3x Supreme King Gate Magician: The main playmaker on the Z-ARC side of the combo; he can search out either of the two Souls to get you to your dragon overlord.
2-3x Supreme King Gate Zero: A pendulum scale for Gate Magician's self-summoning effect, nothing more, nothing less. Ratio interchangeable with Darkwurm. Oh, speaking of...
2-3x Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm: Self-summoning little guy that searches Gate Magician or Gate Zero, in case you didn't open with both.
2x Cup of Ace: Card advantage. RNG-dependent, but oh well.
3x Dragon Shrine: Mill Darkwurm, summon Darkwurm from grave, profit.
1x Upstart Goblin: Card advantage again.
1x Foolish Burial: Darkwurm mill. Again.
3x Pot of Prosperity: More card advantage, with the added bonus of potentially jackpotting a missing combo piece.
3x Wings of Light: Universal Supreme King searcher (have you noticed how that side keeps searching itself? Yeah it's still janky as fuck. Somehow.)
3x Trickstar Reincarnation: Key card #1! Basically resets your opponent's hand (and can revive a Trickstar, but that's irrelevant here.)
3x Oops!: Self-destruction button. Pops 1 of your own monsters, which is A Lot more useful than it looks on the surface.
3x Trap Tracks: Great role consolidator, and arguably the lynchpin of this deck. Pops 1 monster, sets 1 trap from the deck- precisely what you need to pull off the combo. It does have antisynergy with Trap Trick, though, so do watch out for that.
1x Soul of The Supreme Celestial King: First (and better, and costlier) choice of your two gateways to Z-ARC. If the opponent somehow interrupts your silly goofy combo, you can spring this on them midway through their own combo, and..... uhhh.... pray for a win by beatdown. Lmao.
3x Disturbance Strategy: Key card #2!! Alternate option to Reincarnation, resets your opponent's hand via shuffling instead of banishing their starter opening.
2x Trap Trick: Worse Trap Tracks, but useful in a jiffy. Gets you to Oops, Reincarnation, Disturbance, or one of the two Souls. Whichever it is you're missing. Again, do beware this can't tutor Trap Tracks (or you won't be able to resolve more Traps for the turn).
3x Soul of The Supreme King: One good ol' Z-ARC at the small cost of, uh, half your LP. This isn't half as bad as it looks, trust me- it's actually more reliable than its Celestial counterpart, since it doesn't need Gate Magician to stay on field.
Extra Deck (15 cards):
Up to 9x Dimension Dragons (or variants), as fodder for Gate Magician and Celestial Soul.
3x Flex spots where you put whatever, because empty ED spots lowkey look bad.
3x Supreme King Z-ARC: Key card #3!!! The star of this hotpot of cards, widely known for board wipes... and significantly less so for his Pendulum effects. This is why you need a self-destruct button, by the way.....
...Figured out the combo yet?
Steps:
1) Go first. If you go second, then what are you even doing? Magic your way into it, idk (I did say this was of highly fluctuating consistency).
2) Cycle through the bajillion searches and draws in your deck to end on 1 each of Z-ARC (or a way to summon him at the start of turn 2), a way to destroy him (Oops or Trap Tracks), a hand reset (Reincarnation or Disturbance- or Trap Trick, if you can't get to either), by the end of turn 1. If Trap Tracks was your choice of pop, this excuses not having a hand reset because you can just dig it out from the Deck.
3) Turn 2 begins. In the draw phase, flip your pop. This gets Z-ARC to the Pendulum zone, and from there you proceed to the standby phase.
4) In said phase, flip up the hand reset so your opponent has to redraw a hand. This is where Z-ARC's second Pendulum effect triggers... and promptly destroys the new hand they just drew.
Yes.
Every single card of it.
Congratulations; they can't start a thing now, and will either quit on the spot or... watch you tickle them with battle damage?
(Sometimes they can still play, but kicking off a combo from the GY is something special to just a few decks. Besides, the sight of their hand going POOF! is still priceless, even if it doesn't win you the game then and there.)
Aaaand there you have it! Results are pretty much guaranteed to be atrocious, but hey, it's still a fun experience to pull off at times!! Here's your cookie for sticking around, by the way- have fun dueling, and happy holidays!
(shhhhh it's still the 25th in some places-)

There are (at least) two views in the longstanding debate about why people tend to get more conservative as they get older. One is that people tend to accumulate more wealth and become more invested in the status quo. The other is that the people don't change; the issue set does.
As a n=1 study (of an admittedly imperfect sample, since I have never voted for a Republican and never will), I am 45 and have a six-figure income, yet I continue to believe in redistributive taxation, including raising my own tax rate. On the other hand, I find the view-set to my left (to avoid generating heat rather than light, I am trying to avoid using the word "woke" here) characterized by a strong form of standpoint epistemology, etc. to be illiberal and alienating. I'm also not a socialist and extremely bothered by the trend of believers in a mixed economy with a stong safety net calling themselves that (which used to be a slur used by Republicans), which seems to be bleeding into actually absorbing some terrible Marxist economics.
To the extent that these views have become more common over my lifetime, on a US scale of L0---------------100R, I've probably gone from being somewhere around the 8th percentile to the 20% of US politics. But I didn't get any more conservative! The political landscape moved -- something not equivalent to saying that other people got more liberal, because far leftists aren't liberal.

some Maelgwn concepting. rn the species name for what he is is Alsijah but that's a key smash name I came up with before putting the goldfish and octopus in the blender with the wolf. Woranpi maybe? (wo)lf, o(ran)da, octo(pi)
+ an Erasyl for scale, I realize making him 1/16th or 1/8th that thing would probably make him less Human, but instead of like. accounting for that I've just decided he and his brother are seven feet tall and that's it.
Anyways Maelgwn does wear clothes and walk on two legs a good portion of the time but that's for later me to figure out.
