some people are so funny like “this disqualification means nothing, he's still the winner” honey, it means Everything. you can choose what you believe in but to say it with your whole chest that the underweight car didn't help him in anyway throughout the race is just being ignorant. penalties are penalties, rules are rules. that's how this sport goes. we accepted it with other drivers before, accept it now. there's only one truth here, lewis hamilton won spa.

also stop taking it out on lewis who has the right to celebrate because he's the legal winner. of course he was not excited before because he felt like this was his race and the team failed him, but that didn't mean he had ill-wishes towards your driver. take it out on mercedes who messed up the car's weight (don't even say it's sabotage because THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP) which consequently fucked up this mercedes 1-2

September is almost here!!

I have a few things coming next month for all of you!;) First of all the return of my Wisptober list for the October drawing challenge! (I missed doing it last year so much omg) As well as art for a certain collab I have been working on for 2 years now! And maybe I should do some books and manga for fall recommendation every couple of days too? (I do them once in a while on my twitter but I can't remember if I posted about all my faves here!)

Dreams the only sane one thank god 🙏🙏 everyone slaying tho

Anyway- Where/how is Cross doin 👀

- ALT - BILL: HA! HA! HA! BILL: He's doing bury nice! BILL: Don't worry about him at all! BILL: He's having a grave time with his AU!!

- IDK - Two things, for those who figured it out (not saying what happened, you must think!!!), I planned this WAYYY before Jakei made her trans-coded cross announcement and I felt super bad about it considering what happens. And the other thing is I decided to use that announcement to research some sad stuff about what trans, enby, agender, etc people go through in other places besides my own (my town is sorta safe for non cis people) and decided to implement those onto this AU Cross (my other AU SOPV, Cross is living his best life)

For future TW's when we get to Cross/The past: Body(Or gender Or Identity) Dysphoria, Abuse of drugs(I mean... who isn't in this blog?), and Bill(Also, someone just asked about Bill and hoo boy.... Bill is NOT a nice person in this AU(i will go more in depth on that ask than in my pinned) (I mean, sense when was Bill ever nice?))

The ingredients matter, or it won't heal at all. But the magic and intent of the crafter can make them better. (aka I wish you could take lessons from villagers in later games in place of the dang skill bread)

you have another version of you out there arguably living a life just as difficult as yours, if not more, that you can talk to at literally Any Time! and they're You so you basically already have half a convo down anytime you decide to pop on over via a portal

1610 and 42 stepping out of their respective portals side-by-side just to stroll out of an alleyway like nothin happened just going:

1610: LOUD SIGH

42: rough day too huh?

1610, brushing debris off of his shoulder: yeeep. another run-in with the rhino. again.

42: you didn't lock his dumb ass up like, last month? how'd he get out?

1610: don't know, don't care. so done with this week, i just wanna... i dunno. hibernate til spring 😮‍💨

42: man, what a mood.

1610: what happened to you? you look like you had a rougher day than me!

42, covered in visible bruises and cuts along with his bandages: mannnn... rougher week more like. well... rougher life. but. anyways.

they both nod at each other in Understanding

Thinking about your "Rachel bashing og greek myths" post, methinks she believed herself to be making greek culture a favor similarly to the author of The Phantom of Manhattan, the unofficial sequel to The Phantom of the Opera

In the preface, the author begins by saying that Phantom, unlike Frankenstein or Dracula, barely made a dent in world culture until Andrew Lloyd Webber came along to make the musical, which he considers the "true" version even tho like...it wouldn't exist without the novel! He bashes Gaston Leroux and basically states that his attempt at writing failed miserably and it's like DUDE, again, the musical and your problematic sequel wouldn't even exist without it, and just because it was bigger in France than in the usa it doesn't mean it had zero impact in culture

But of COURSE unless it's usa-approved then it doesn't count and isn't worth anything *sarcasm*

PHENOMENAL point, FANTASTIC point, absolutely true and correct

i can't be a total dick and say this is an issue solely created and implemented by rachel, because we've seen non-western cultures and religions absolutely whitewashed to hell and back - like, people have been drawing jesus of the bible as white for centuries when he was a middle eastern palestinian jewish man, and good god look what the west has done to the religions of india, china, and japan. but it's the way these kinds of stories drip with a sort of smugness in removing the original culture, in depicting it as backwards and broken.

rachel wants to claim she's making a feminist retelling, but the original myth was already feminist. ancient greece didn't pretend their society was not fiercely male dominated and patriarchal, and hades stealing persephone was absolutely in line with the traditional myths - the twist is that demeter wins. demeter punishes the male gods who stole her daughter, and the ferocity of her rage and grief forces hades and zeus to give in. if persephone hadn't eaten the pomegrante seeds, she wouldn't be in the underworld at all! this is a story that is so clearly a triumph for the mothers and daughters of ancient greece, of many worlds over, because it depicted explicitly that a mother's love was more powerful than even the gods. and rachel pisses all over that.

literally even going beyond that, looking at the society that is olympus and the underworld - all the technology they use, all the innovations they have. who exactly is making these??? where exactly is the material coming from??? you can handwave away most of the inventions by saying it's magic, but we've seen demeter talk about algebra, which was invented in the ninth century by a muslim scholar from persia. in speedrunning to this so called perfect modernized world, rachel actually erases the cultural offerings and developments of dozens of other ancient worlds, and kind of just gives the credit to the underworld, which is run by a slave driver.

persephone constantly bemoans the dullness of the mortal realm, and prefers to literally lounge around doing nothing, when the mortal realm is inventing the olympic games, the democratic forum, FOOTBALL. you have thousands of things to show the gods involved in - largely because the gods were the patrons!!! why do we never see zeus looking over the olympic games??? they happen in his sanctuary!!!

like the disdain rachel has for ancient greece is insane. she can't even bother to research the food typical of the time period, seeing as she writes persephone being looked down on for being vegetarian when vegetables were a key and staple diet of ancient greece. one could argue that a vast majority of ancient greece were vegetarian by general habit. she's baking cheesecake and french desserts and having fast food and carrot cake and maybe - maybe - she'll mention baklava. the ancient greeks are FAMOUS for their art, but we sure wouldn't know that from lore olympus. the only character who even references ancient greek music is apollo, with his lyre, and that's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

and this is not to say that an adaption has to follow the ancient text to a t - that's just not feasible and no one is expected to do so. but there's really something to how rachel does dismiss or ignore the canonical importance of so many of these stories to replace them with a western interpretation. even the therapy speak is grating. in episode 227, when persephone is talking about the concept of virginity, she's absolutely correct in pointing out how that's largely a social construct - but in light of the world she lives in and the world she helps control, the same idea could have been reached through means other than americanized psych talk.

so often, people will look back at the ancient world and think we are morally superior because we do not have the same views, or we have seemingly "developed." that is a view i abhor, because it removes the very act of learning and developing and understanding. rachel really talked big about how removing the incest of ancient greece made the story better, but incidentally, she managed to also take out the feminism, and literally the entire lgbt culture of ancient greece. apollo was even considered the patron of homosexuality! he was called to bless same-sex unions! zeus had DOZENS of male lovers; ares, hephestus, and hermes had known male relationships, and several of the ancient heroes and gods of greek mythology were described in terms we would refer to as transgender in modern times.

if rachel had gone "i'm writing a love story that's originally inspired by the myth of persephone and hades but it's very much modern and removed from the myths" that would be one thing, and i would not be bristling at that; myths have inspired countless stories over the centuries and will continue to do so for centuries to come. the problem is rachel wants to claim a rooting in these myths with zero understanding of how they work or why they work, and absolutely lets her contempt for the ancients shine through in every single aspect of her comic. it's gross and it's petty and she deserves none of the self-appointed "mythology expert" she's given herself.

[foreverrhapsody]

we're two(? 3?) episodes away from the mid-season finale

there are 4+ other main characters/actors on the show that also need their screentime

Timothy Jimothy Minear-othy has admitted he doesn't plan the individual character beats that far out

he probably hasn't started planning in depth for the 2nd half of the season yet (or maybe they're just starting that process now) which means they haven't secured non-main actors for those eps yet so Lou can't say he's appearing in any further episodes

there are still 10+ episodes left in the season and honestly unless there something happened behind the scenes with Lou or with the network to cause a hard stop to the storyline, I can't see this being dropped purely BECAUSE there has been such care taken up until now (and if something did happen, well, that's that.)

I had something else to say, but I forgot it. Will edit back in if I remember.

OH, I remember! If I was a showrunner and had a new pair that the audience loved and I was writing The Big Drama Show, I'd put them through the wringer too

Mr. Minear-othy might be reading the Facebook comments and cackling at the response to part 1 of his Grand BuckTommy Plan

(I could totally be wrong! This could really be a long-term setup for That Other Pairing! Maybe Mr. Minear was feeling bitter towards ALL 911 fans and Buck will never date another man ever!! Who knows!?!?)

"John whips his head around. Or tries to.

The world spins violently with the movement, and even the cane isn't enough to save him. He's had plenty of tumbles, especially during the first two years of his recovery, so he knows there's nothing he can do to prevent it now. Not when his head will be wobbling for the next few minutes.

Suddenly, he's surrounded by thick arms that hold him up and press him into a solid chest. His cane hits the wood floor with a clatter as his head continues to spin...

He swallows and doesn't look up as he curls his hand into Simon's hoodie and says, "Ye cannae startle me like tha', Simon. I'll fall."

Simon lets out a heavy breath that rustles through Johnny's loose hair. "Sorry."

"Ye didnae know."

"Shoulda, though."

John shrugs, unwilling to argue the truth."
