#Can You Tell?

[biancadoes1]

Am I missing something?

Every time I open X people are saying to “be prepared for a 💣” when it comes to N & L.

Possibly out of the loop but is there any context?

HERE'S SOME TOUGH FUCKING LOVE ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

It's a tarot thing yet again.

They're convinced we're going to get another bomb. They also keep pushing the date back on said bomb.

Truthfully it just feels like we're waiting for something that might not ever come. It's making people feel anxious.

Here's the thing - paying attention to any of this drama surrounding irrelevant people is only going to prolong the bullshit. I'm really beginning to think some of you enjoy the chaos bombs more than you enjoy anything Nicola or Luke do, say, or crumb for us in the fandom.

I'm going to say it AGAIN, and this is not directed solely at you anon but everyone.

STOP. GIVING. ATTENTION.

I need everyone to fully understand what I'm saying.

These people THRIVE off attention. That's why we're almost to the end of November and this fucking shit is still going on. The spiraling, the back and forth, etc.

Aren't y'all tired? Or you just like to be miserable? You do realize that they're fucking with people, right? Because the way some of you react is down right fucking childish and they probably sit there and laugh behind their burner accounts that I KNOW are on every social media site.

Please. Learn to control your emotions. Some of you are way too damn old to even be spiraling about anything let alone some unemployed 20 somethings spending precious minutes of their lives taking the piss out of a fandom.

Gosh, I have no idea how I'm going to put this into words but I'm gonna try my best.

I have a lot of feelings about Jimmy's canary status and such.

For four seasons he has been the first out, he's the canary. He signals the start of the end and for four seasons that was very true. And Jimmy hated it. He hated being out first everytime. Everyone around him either pitied him or made fun of him for being out first and Jimmy started to hate himself for how bad he was at the game.

And then came Secret Life.

As we all know, he wasn't the first out. And he was ecstatic. Even after dying second not ten minutes later, he cared more about the fact that he wasn't out first. He claimed the curse was broken and now we continue to see this into Wild Life.

Now, where am I going with this?

I think the Watchers are doing this on purpose.

There has always been something about Jimmy that the Watchers have clung on to. And up until this point, I thought the Watchers despised him. I mean, being the one cursed to always be out first, to be the one that warns your friends of their deaths, that's not fun. That's straight up torture.

But now, I don't think they despise him. I think they see to use him.

Think about it! The Watchers, for four seasons, have pummeled Jimmy's self confidence into the ground. Has made everyone see him as a loser. He started getting hopeless, started feeling like nothing was ever going to change.

And then it did change, in Secret Life, and he wasn't out first. Now, being out second is really not any better but it wasn't about that. Jimmy was starting to feel like, maybe he could actually do this! Maybe he could even win.

And then session 3 of Wild Life happened.

The Watchers did this on purpose. They gave him hope by not being out first in Secret Life and then let things get crazy in session 3 of Wild Life for Jimmy. Jimmy had it pretty bad in session 3 and I know a lot of us didn't have a lot of hope for him after that. Of course, session 4 went a different way than we were all expecting but again, that kind of plays into things.

The Watchers have torn Jimmy down, given him a little hope, and then tore him down again. And they did this to get Jimmy right where they wanted him.

Because Jimmy, before session 5, prayed to the Watchers. He asked them, begged them to please not let him be out first. To please let the canary curse well and truly die.

And they answered.

And Jimmy wasn't out first.

And now Jimmy is putty in their hands.

I love edging as much as the next guy but my problem is that as soon as it's put into play I get so desperate and needy to cum almost immediately that I only last like 3 times before breaking down and begging but I think it'd be fixed if someone just tied me down and edged me for as long as they specifically want to with no regard to my own pleasure, only doing it to take enjoyment from how I squirm and shake and shoot big scary threats as if I wouldn't do anything to finally cum like a dumb depraved mutt

Or alternatively you could gag me so I can't protest and just keep going until you're content !

There's a bonus noise I'll make if you throw in a bit of overstim after (if) you finally let me cum too :3

Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

I saw a post abt this the other day but it's been eating me up inside so I gotta get it in writing. Plus it was in meme format when I saw it so I wanna make sure the gravity of this particular thing is out there somewhere bc I said so.

Annabeth was under the impression for most of her life that she had to earn love and respect from those around her. First from her father after he remarried, and she had to earn his attention back from his wife and kids. Then once she got to camp, she had to earn the admiration of the other campers, her siblings, Chiron and Mr. D, and basically everyone but Luke (because she earned his and Thalia's respect by simply surviving so long after running away). AND THEN she had to earn Athena's respect. That was the ultimate reward in her opinion, because that's kinda what I imagine they teach at camp: "You have to earn the respect of the gods to get them to look at you, let alone respect or, heaven forbid, love you." It's fucked up but its true. It's one of the first things Luke tells Percy upon his arrival. It's how you get claimed, earn a quest, and get all these things that Camp deems so important.

And then Annabeth meets Percy.

Percy, who, despite having his own traumas and tough road to hoe, still knows the feeling of an unconditionally loving home and person. He never had to earn Sally's love. She loved him despite him getting kicked out of school every year, despite him being stubborn and kinda an ass sometimes. She loved him despite his own view of himself. She shoved all that aside and loved her son because THATS HOW PARENTING WORKS.

And then you shove these two little kids together who've had wildly different backgrounds and I bet you'd get some interesting conversations (although they aren't shown a lot in the book or the show). Like Annabeth having to explain all the shit she's done to get her mother's attention and Percy being like "well damn."

And then he starts to notice that she applies this to other relationships too. She starts doing certain things that Percy notices as trying to gain his respect and it gets worse as they get closer and he finally has to be like "hey, you know I like you, right? like you don't have to prove yourself to me" and Annabeth has whiplash because she's never not had to earn love.

It just makes their relationship so much better to me.

Friends, I finished a thing…

[thoughts-rambles]

Sharing your troubles with Mammon was a comfort you could always indulge yourself in. He may be impulsive, and stupid, and greedy, but trust that the one thing he'll always do right is help you. He'd move the three realms to see your smile and hear your laugh, so don't even think about trying to hide your problems from him.

Stay with the man who would hold you in his arms and wipe away the stray tears that manage to fall- threatening to hurt anyone or anything that could've hurt you. Jumping in to save you as soon as he knows anything's wrong, he'd ask what happened and promise he'd do anything to fix it. And the problems he couldn't just punch away or fix? He'd make sure you'd laugh off and forget, gladly making a fool of himself if it'd make you happy. The man that, if all else fails, would be more than glad to simply sit down with you in a comfortable silence until your whatever troubles you becomes more manageable.

So how could you resist staying a while to get things off your chest?
