#If someone proves me wrong

[the-simple-creature]

I've had an epiphany.

J (post-DDification) has done nothing good.

Please prove me wrong, I'm begging.

The most she has ever done is be a power point presentation for "CYN's" orders and watch over Tessa's ship.

I have no sources and zero recollection of where I read this, but there is a speculation that the first written mention of finnish (or finnic) peoples' existence, and that of the traditional dog breed finnish spitz, kind of loop around to support each other. It was from some Ancient Roman history, one of those "I heard this from a drunk sailor who heard it from another drunk sailor and who am I to dispute such a reliable source" historians writing down everything that is known about the known world.

It was just one random offhand side-clause mentioning that when you go far out enough into the north, there are wild people living in there, who have red dogs. And the circular logic here is that finns live in the north, the finnish spitz is a red dog, and since it must have been finns, the dogs must have been early finnish spitz. And since finnish spitz is the dog of the finns, therefore the northmen with the red dogs must have been finnish.

critical role fandom please remember that fearne calloway and dorian storm are very close friends too and that she isn't just there to wingman a romantic relationship for him and otherwise never interact with him or have him acknowledge her existence challenge

So now that everyone’s back on Hunger Games, I pose a question that has festered within me since middle school.

Do we really believe that Katniss was like, romantically interested in Gale or Peeta or like…anyone?

Did no one else get the vibes that she just fell into the “romance” because it was what she felt was “normal”. At the end she was just like “Well he’s here all the time. And he’s nice and he knows my past. I guess he’s my dude.”

I always got the impression that she was so deep in “fight or flight mode” it took all she had just to allow herself friends, and then all of them wanted to date her and she was like, “I guess I do care about you. That can be love.”

I fully believe we haven't seen mk truly lose it on anyone yet--no not even when he fought azure or the curse--mk has always had control over what he's doing outside of accidental fumbles when hes first learning how to use his powers and I'd say he's almost more deadly when he's angry because so far being mad hasn't made him crazy or wild or out of control so far as I've observed being mad has only made him more focused

Referencing the old aliens rumor for this, the part that always stuck out to me where Sycamore and Lysandre were meant to be the same person, it feels like it could have lead to a lot of funny art and memes. (Plus, PerfectWorld would have even more chaotic energy as a ship than it already does 😂)

If you want to read the full thing, here it is, it's a really long read, but there are some similarities to later games like SM with the extraterrestrial plot (and kinda the possession aspect too with Nihilego, who funnily enough is an alien space Rock) and SwSh with the Gym Leaders having a sports theme 😂😅

Edit: the Teraleak has finally debunked this rumor after 10 years. Shame, I was kind of hoping for it to be true, despite always having my doubts. Still tho, lots of cool story ideas that were fun to play with.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY, THE NEXT BOOK 7 UPDATE FOR THE JP SERVER IS SET FOR MARCH 1ST.

HOW WE FEELIN LADS!?!?!

AHHHHHHHH NOOO I'M NOT READY, I thought we'd be getting the fourth anniversary first and then Sebek's birthday and then maybe some more episode 7, I didn't -- I didn't think it'd be Friday --

oh god and they're rerunning the story cards, they didn't say this was the final part but it feels like...maybe the penultimate chapter? could the end of episode 7 finally be looming in the distance?! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO

[torchstelechos]

Still on my "there is no way Isabeau has dated anyone before Siffrin" propaganda.

Y'all, this man didn't confess until the literal world was about to end via his crush losing their mind over him leaving, and his entire friend quest moment was him talking about how his past self wasn't liked. This man has never dated ANYONE in his life, he is winging it just as much as Siffrin is

you can always tell when someone doesn't have maga men in their life and god it makes me angry.. "if you're nice and compassionate you can be the one woman that makes them realize women aren't mean!" my mom bent over backwards for my dad for 25 fucking years he has plenty of other women kissing his ass and it never changed anything. do you really think that before being radicalized they never knew a single kind woman? they were never friends with a nice girl? alt-right men's problem with women isn't just that they've experienced too many mean women and they need to be shown that women can be nice, it's that they think women are inferior and don't deserve rights and don't understand anything so you can do what you want with them. and it takes a lot more than being nice to show someone that you aren't inferior. this isn't a case of being nice even when it's hard for the sake of deradicalization, it's about spending every fucking interaction with someone trying to get them to see you as a human being with value and a functioning intellect while they just laugh and show you that's never going to happen.

i cannot stress this enough: random women are not just going out and Being Mean to men. ur average guy interacts with plenty of women throughout his life- close women amongst their friends and family, casual interactions etc. most people don't start out being shunned by women, they start out being treated as NORMAL. & when they show their disrespect in normal society, it isn't tolerated, but when they go to alt-right spaces (which they're pushed towards online) they're told they're allowed to be as horrible as they want with no consequences because they're entitled to everything. it isn't "women aren't welcoming and the alt-right is so friendly so i'll become alt-right," it's "women don't let me disrespect them and the alt-right tells me fuck them, do whatever you want, you're entitled to it all" and why would you choose the group where you have to be a normal accountable person when there's a group that will reward you for being a shithead who gives no fucks?

the alt-right can afford to be more friendly and welcoming because they can allow bigotry. this can't work the same way for progressive spaces because we can be as kind & welcoming as possible but at the end of the day we have lines where we have to say "this behavior/speech isn't allowed in this space," and for certain people, that just can't win against a space where you can be as nasty as you want. these posts always end with a disclaimer saying "of course being kind doesnt mean you need to tolerate their bigotries" but what they don't realize and what drives me crazy is that women not tolerating bigotry IS the "women are mean" that radicalized them in the first place. they perceive you pushing back on any bigotry or bullshit as you being a meanie and treating them like they're ontologically evil. the 'kindness' they need to be deradicalized is you letting them walk all over you.

idk what the answer is to deradicalizing them and im sure relationships are part of it but you can be as kind as you want and all it will do is destroy you ime. i cant stand to see people (who have never even successfully deradicalized any man by being nice btw they always speak in hypotheticals and not from experience) double down on telling women to do things that will see no results and only hurt them, especially when any woman who has tried can tell you exactly how it went

[iloveacronix]

Mmm I've been rewatching hands of time again. For like the millionth time, and something just came up to me. So you know how Krux and Acronix go back in time to win against the alliance and all? And then when they threaten to kill everyone, Wu yields and the future changes? Does that mean that there is like, a 'timeline' where Krux and Acronix actually kill the elemental masters and rule Ninjago? Because I mean, the rest of the ninja team saw how the future changes, that means that the 40 years from the time twins' perspective already happened, meaning that not even Kai and Nya were able to stop them during those 40 years and had to be stuck in that time until they grew older(unless they also got killed). You know what I mean??? Probably not but it's the thought that counts. I've been thinking a lot about this, and Ninjago itself doesn't help bc time is a complex subject in it plus the whole time travel thing didn't really make sense to me- so... Is it possible that in a different timeline or something, Krux and Acronix manage to kill all the masters and are just chilling as emperors? Or am I just stupidly obsessed with the time twins(yes)
