Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

one of the things that continues to strike me on reread is how much the character of Darcy, and Austen through him, finds Mr. Bennet dead. And how much Elizabeth, in growing and changing and discarding her past blindness, has to move past her way of seeing her father and thus of seeing reality, because the two are connected! Darcy’s letter exposes her father’s flaws to Elizabeth in a way she’d never been able to see before. Most especially the way his laziness and neglect of his own gifts have hurt his family and that ultimately he doesn’t. care. Not enough to change. It literally says that she comes home from Hunsford and tries to laugh at her sisters’ and mother’s folly (the way she used to; the way her father has taught her to by example for her whole life) and she can’t anymore! It sticks in her throat. She is grieved by the failures that she sees in him, all the more so because she IS his favorite and she loves him! And the thing about Mr. Bennet is he never changes. The Lydia/wickham situation exposes to him sharply his own conduct and the consequences and he feels it! Because he is neither stupid nor unfeeling. But he, like everyone, has free will. And he chooses not to change when the opportunity presents itself. He even jokes about how quickly his feeling bad will pass and how soon everything will go back to normal, to his laziness and his selfishness. He is set in his ways and he serves as a contrast to Elizabeth’s personal journey because he embodies a version of a person she could have become and was in danger of becoming if her only goal at all times was to laugh at and judge people from the sidelines.

y'know, most of us are saying this or that about "Bells Hells choosing to release Predathos to remove the gods from Exandria," but — and admittedly my memory might be shaky on this one due to East Coast time — Bells Hells hasn't even gotten that far yet, as far as I remember

like, at minimum it seems that people are FEELING that the Hells haven't even made a decision about whether they even want to let Predathos out or not, or what they want to do about the gods. they were in the process of trying to ask Predathos what it wanted to do and whether it was possible to convince it to go back where it came from without bothering anyone at all. the current situation is more at "Predathos is trying to grab you and use you as a host, what are you doing" without making a clear choice about the implications of the results of resisting or not resisting

we're still in a bit of a not having made a choice yet either way about Predathos's intent to escape or what that would mean for the gods or the state of Exandria, we're not even at the moment of unfolding in text whether Imogen intends for this to be a way to control Predathos to guide it toward another end, whether she is making this as an active choice to try to contain it and prevent it from escaping, whether she is making this as an active choice to aid it, whether she is simply giving in as a resignation to what she feels is inevitable fate

a choice has been made to not resist being taken up by Predathos, but there... hasn't been a clear choice at all so far about the actual narrative question of what to do with Predathos and the gods, like, that's still something that remains undecided on by the party, they hadn't even made a decision yet when the reaching and grabbing happened, so like, yeah

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

I'm always a little confused by people saying they want to see Force groups other than the Jedi (and not like, in addition to the Jedi, what people often mean is INSTEAD of) because like...

A. This is Star Wars, the story of Jedi, if you're not here for Jedi, why are you even here?

B. Most other Force groups are just Jedi-lite (or sith-lite when dark siders), they don't really have all that radical or different views from the Jedi, usually it's just differing traditions

(And before anyone says it, no to any "both sides of the Force/don't use the dark or light", insert Han tfa gif here, you're either a dark side group or a light side group, that's just how it works, hence Jedi-lite/sith-lite)

C. Speaking of traditions, most non-Jedi force groups (aside from dark side ones) are just Boring

The reason we almost exclusively focus on Jedi is they're one of the only non dark side groups that actually goes out and does things, diplomacy, crimefighting, peacekeeping, etc are aspects of the Jedi most Force groups just don't partake in, at best they're active in their localities but for the most part other Force groups are content to simply watch as the galaxy happens while remaining uninvolved

I was considering memory pain after that one ask yesterday, and it was two in the morning, and my hand slipped. Cleaned up my ramblings into a real thing. Have a scene in an AU of your AU.
