Cryogenic sleep messed up Warren's memories, but it is so cruel that those about his childhood trauma feel more real and true to him:

While he is more uncertain about the credibility of those memories that hold a more positive experience:

I will laugh so hard if it turns out that John is making a sincere effort at being a decent parent and it's such an awful outcome for Gideon that I feel like it's plausible. He's giving off such man who thinks of himself as a good guy confronted with oops baby vibes.

I'm on new meds now and they're ...working, but one thing no one mentioned to me is that finding medication that works awakens the Anger.

Why can't periods be, like, a choice? Or like a little warning? Or something you can turn on and off?

I don't want children and am a massive virgin, why would I want a period? To let me know that I'm not pregnant? I ALREADY KNOW THAT (I'm also queer so I could easily and probably date someone without a pp)

And I definitely don't want it to have children.

On that same note, shouldn't they start a bit later too? What do you mean a 13 year old can give birth? Nop. Let the body be at least... 22?

You know what, until I see a body, until I have visual and verbal confirmation David Kostyk is dead. I will not believe it. This world is going to have a Corpse witch and Jurda Parem, if neither of those things go on a resurrection spree I will have a fucking melt down.

I love how Gerald was trying to keep Shadow from spoiling anything about the future meanwhile literally everything Shadow says and does around Maria is the biggest death flag ever

Are the Ruby Red Trilogy and Maxton Hall similar in many ways?

No, not really.

So why has reading Save Me/Maxton Hall made me nostalgic for Ruby Red?

There are days that I love my job and days where I loathe it entirely. Today is one of those days

The true meaning behind FNAF princess quest

[stellarglowsquiiiid]

Parkour Civilization 1 is about how capitalism incentives the people living within it to keep moving up its ranks (even though it’s functionally impossible to do so), believing they’ll be safe if they just get a bit richer, only to be in a situation that’s even more difficult to maintain. How one bad fall can cost you everything, and how it’s much easier for the rich to avoid making that fall.

Parkour Civilization 2 is about getting betrayed by queercoded bitches (you are parkour Jesus Christ).

They overreacted a bit. Just a wee bit.

Part 2

[egophiliac]

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

what do you mean jennifer saunder's shrek 2 cover of Holding Out for a Hero didn't play over the entirety of dressrosa arc

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.
