Checking up on his commission
#hate this guy. spoilers under tag cutoff#i fear i may have cooked with the tags. slash jay.#I've always imagined him with Particulars but I keep forgetting to draw them til like now#he speaks in lowercase to me. for reasons#I wanna know more about this untrustworthy bisexual but I also kinda wanna attack him every time he shows up#cant wait for the inevitable boss fight#fun fact: according to the dictionary 'nebulae' can refer to a clouded spot on the cornea that can cause defective vision#a limbus is 'the junction of the cornea and sclera in the eye'#so I think I speak for us all when I say WHAT THE FUCK MAN#what the hell was he on abt with Dante falling from the sky. and by sheep does he mean June 985 or?#if anyone wants to theorise on my post I'm all for it#limbus company#dante lcb#demian lcb#⏰🐍#unfortunately proud of that caption btw he really is just wanting his comm#HM WAIT BACK AGAIN#is the way the San was on about with leading the fallen nebulae home what causes J985?#as in - it is not people dying but them returning to their rightful place outside the City#with Purgatorio being the war 📘[i think] mentioned#is the doomsday Dante's head leading to the war? it typically refers to humanity's self destruction#or any globlal catastrophe#oh ok with PM is being sneaky again the Wiki page says it was inaugurated in June and guess when the MDE is#but generally things like nuclear war - AI and climate change are the main factors contributing to it#and we've already faced AI in the prev games via Angie so presumably one of the others will be the main force behind Dante's midnight#i personally like the nuclear angle given how Dante's head is already a clock#*BOMB. THEIR HEAD IS A BOMB THAT CAN BLOW UP#please do not write tags at night this was a bad idea

oh god ed reddit is having the “uwu anorexia isn’t rooted in fatphobia my mental illness is not abt you” talk again please god help me
fatphobia doesn’t mean “being a meanie to fat ppl” i’m begging you to use critical thinking skills for five seconds and apply what you know about literally any other form of oppression to this situation.
people’s point isn’t that you having anorexia makes them feel bad and therefore you’re a bad fatphobic person.
they’re pointing out how the deeply ingrained fatphobia our society upholds, from misconceptions about health to moralization of looks and weight, including yes being jerks to fat ppl’s faces bc they’re fat, is affecting what you think about your own looks, weight, health, body, clothes, eating habits, etc.
the logic isn’t “you became anorexic because you hate fat people so much you never wanted to be fat yourself (and that makes you a bad person)” it’s “fatphobia is a prism that transforms the root cause of your ed into disordered thoughts, behaviors, and patterns (and unlearning fatphobia will help you with recovery and harm-reduction)”
like. it’s not for no reason that anorexia is a disorder that disproportionatedly affects women. it’s not for no reason that there’s sky high comorbidity rates for eds and ocd. it’s not for no reason that people who need control in their lives so badly that they develop a mental disorder abt it get obssessed with being skinny and not with being a sumo. it’s not for no reason that ppl who feel the need to retract to childhood due to trauma envy things like being skinny light and frail, instead of being a tubby baby. it’s not for no reason that there is an incredibly common anorexic thought pattern (internal and self-directed, don’t make me say what i didn’t say) that associaties restriction and weight loss with moral goodness.
for each of these there IS a number of exceptions, but you can see case by case how the root cause (trauma, need for control, for self-destruction, growing up poor, whatever you think is “unrelated to fatphobia” basically) is processed through the prism of the fatphobic culture we’ve all been raised in. some people just, voluntarily or not, deal with those root causes in different way, which might or might not be healthy. but it’s a consequence of ambiant fatphobia that “i should starve and be skinny about it” is a statistically pretty common response to this distress.
the point isn’t “it’s fatphobic that you don’t deal with your neuroses in a body positive way uwu” the point is that no matter how cool you are with fat people on like, a personal level, you’ve been (like the rest of us) bombarded with fatphobic thought patterns your entire life basically, both directly fatphobic things and reactions to this fatphobia. maybe spoken to you directly, maybe not. maybe about you maybe about other people. you live in a society that places moral values into looks and health, and also pushes some deeply rooted falsehoods about how those things tie into each other. you have a disorder defined by obsessive behaviors. maybe, just maybe, deconstructing the logic that those obsessives behaviors are based upon will help you deal with this disorder. and recover or reduce harm.
basically, anorexia isn’t “getting skinny disorder” it’s “obsession disorder”, obsession with looking attractive, or pleasing your family, or going back to being a kid, or being healthy, or being fit, or being driven and capable, or being worth saving, or having your suffering known, or having control over something, or whatever. the fatphobia that is omnipresent (and i repeat, omnipresent, nobody is singling you out as a bad fatphobic meanie, or even talking about your behavior towards other people around you) in our society picks the direction in which many many people will express that disorder.
of course if you live in a society that tells you “being fat is morally bad” at every turn, when you start developping an obssessive pathological need to control things, without another factor weighting in, most people’s default reaction will be anorexia. food is a regular fixture of everybody’s life, everyone wants to be morally good, and even if we know/understand/believe to an extent the flaws of that “fat = bad” logic we know the world around us still believes it, and nobody wants to be treated like shit. we can think it’s stupid and fight against fatphobia and work to treat fat ppl better in our lives and support body positivity, but in any case, one always judges oneself on different metrics than they judge others, cuz we control our self-improvement. that’s natural. just it doesn’t mesh well with a pathologically obssessive need for control above self-preservation.
#ed tw#ana#notprojusttags#proana#ed#last year i got into an argument abt this that was so potent#it caused me to turn all my childhood attempts of having anorexia into actually having purging disorder#out of fucking spite#guess what you dicks from last year i have anorexia now i still think you're wrong#in an act of good faith i'll say i'm ready to admit that maybe it's just that my debating skills suck#maybe i'm just a shitty argumentative writer#maybe i didn't formulate things right and that's why people got the wrong idea#and that's not a maybe i was not considerate enough of causes of anorexia that aren't related to weight directly#like food insecurity as a child and whatnot#however#no matter how bad the delivery might've been#we're not working with a completely different dictionary here#i remember people actively arguing with things i literally said the opposite of#you can't chalk everyone and everything up to that but man some ppl were really not in a state to have this kind of discussion#come back after your omad#broadcasting my misery#discourse#vent#fatphobia#fatphobia tw

The thing with timelords is that yeahh theyre people but theyre also sort of complicated moving sculptures. or they all see themselves or function in some way as Projects as much as people. partially because doylistically, they... are.
#projects in the sense of something being put together for a particular aim. not projection#'a piece of planned work or activity that is completed over a period of time and intended to achieve a particular aim'#thank u cambridge dictionary online.#and like. i dont think that watsonianly as a character the master is a vanity project fsdgdfg that would be#mean and wrong and stupid to say. but the Entity Known As The Master is mostly another smaller entity- called a Person-#inside doing a weird vanity project.#the doctor is an endless work table with one million starts in different interests and directions. building the ultimate reinessance man. b#t theyre almost too easy to discuss.. they have more going on but#the THING is how most time lords are tied to The State as like a weird appendage. or are people which are trying to be thhe best#new innovation-y type of cog in the machine that is the state. and then theyre suprised theyre fucked up#this is actually prompted by a brax paragraph @i-am-become-a-name just posted from their brax reading project-#hes going 'everyone. act naturally' and then puts his feet on the table which. works but is the last brax thing ever#cuz braxiatel is the Project of Appearing To Be. often various types of normal things but mostly just. thats what he operates w#idk. idk. you get what im putting down?

I think that if you're going to be a hater, it's critical to admit when you're objectively wrong but you're still sticking to your guns and dreaming of a world in which you're not objectively wrong. "yeah I know this is correct, but I hate it so I'll be wrong until the world burns down around me" and other such dramaticisms. to celebrate those moments I give you this
#yes this is about me thinking em dashes are the ugliest fucking punctuation ever devised by man#i will use en dashes with a space on either side until i fucking die#whats merriam-webster gonna do? dictionary me to death? please

#maybe there wouldn't even BE fucking. bc old man#maybe it would be weird. maybe it would be awkward. well i would be prepared for that. the rest of you are weak and would perish#entirely unrelated to this post completely but i dont think we've talked enough about that sparks pill for You Know#what are the odds. of all the words in the dictionary#anyway posts i am making while dying from the heat as i sit my in cruddy stairwell before going inside#im just thinking thoughts. on the sweltering day

At the same time that fascistic propaganda across Europe upheld Hector as a perfect, noble soldier and Achilles as an insubordinate villain, the English verb "hector" (as in "he hectored me until I agreed to come in to work this weekend") came into use to mean harass, bully, badger.
While one source suggested this is because of how Hector urged his troops to keep fighting in the Iliad, with the meaning eventually getting warped over time, another claims that "rowdy street toughs" in 17th century London called themselves "Hectors," envisioning themselves as mighty, young warriors. Everyone else, obviously, saw them as annoying, violent assholes. And thus, while Hector's reputation continued to exceed what was represented in the surviving texts regarding the Trojan War, his name came to mean far worse than his behavior warranted.
#once again woke up with a thought#I am having a lot of trouble finding an actual source on this street gang thing#everyone is citing the same place#which is a fucking dictionary#which cites nothing#so like idk man#hector of troy#etymology#the iliad#on the other hand#hector coming to mean bullying your no good brother#would have been so fine by me#fucking love literally everything he says to Paris#actually found the source#and the book sounds so interesting#Hooligans by Pearson (1983)#a history of youth gangs in London I believe#might actually get it the writing looks fun

"each thing I learn about you just makes me want to know you more" <-text from my neighbor just now. i don't know what i'm winning at, but i'm definitely winning at something.
#he wants to go for a walk tomorrow so i can tell him about my favorite words from the french dictionary.#'do you do anything that's not dorky and interesting?' <-another direct quote#he said that before he knew about the dictionary. this was in response to learning i write crosswords#joke's on him though because now that he knows about the dictionary i think he's caught up on all the dorky & interesting stuff#i do feel like i'm really winning this acquaintanceship. not as a competition between him and me but rather#as a competition between this acquaintanceship and all other acquaintanceships i've had with other people#the trick is to not say anything about your hobbies for the first like. four interactions. then you start parceling them out one at a time.#it only works because we have so much other stuff to talk about. being neighbors.#like at no point have we had to do the awkward 'so what do you do for fun?' thing. so it's just when it comes up organically#anyway i'm enjoying this because i usually feel like i'm a VERY boring person#but i have just been nailing the pacing here. the suspense! keep em wanting more#myfirstname mylastname international man of mystery#also the other day we were talking and i said 'i told you about my mom's vibrator‚ right?' because i was sure i had told him that story#and he was like NO????? so basically he just thinks my life is about 5000% more interesting than it actually is#i'm fine with that though. if it means i get a walking buddy (who has a cat! and gives me fruit sometimes!!!) all the better#fuck it i will just make a tag for him#voisin de palier#now i need to find my first post about him from like 2018 when i was sooooo suspicious of him for absolutely no reason

I keep like, jokingly pitch Eternia to people who like Symphonia because they touch upon VERY similar themes, just in different ways, so I feel like Symphonia fans would enjoy Eternia, and then I remember the Orz Earrings in Eternia and suddenly get mad at Symphonia
What do you MEAN these two worlds have been split for THOUSANDS OF YEARS and have vastly different cultures and yet their language is the EXACT FUCKING SAME? What do you MEAN Lloyd doesn't look at Zelos like "homie, what the fuck are you saying to us?" And Sheena sighs and translates (bc I do believe Sheena would be proficient in both) and goes "he's saying he's gay" and Lloyd goes "oh wow I'm glad he came out to us" and Zelos just begs Sheena to translate what Lloyd said and she responds "he said you're gay" like what do you MEAN none of this happened? How the fuck does a world Run By the Church have the same slang ad a world Run By the Church Disguised as a Monarchy? WHAT DO YOU MEAN GENIS DOESNT FUCK WITH ZELOS BY CALLING HIM INSULTS IN SYLVARANTIAN AND TRANSLATING THEM TO COMPLIMENTS IN TETHE'ALLAN WHILE EVERYONE IS LIKE "zelos my dude he just called you a whore???" Where's this. What happened??? Wasted opportunity imo
#the fun part about eternia was No One Understanding Meredy for a bit#meredy: says a whole ass sentence#farah: i think she's lost#reid: no shit sherlock#then they have to go to their insufferable friend keele who is like. meredy slow the FUCK down im using a dictionary here#and meredy just Doesnt. so hes like 'fuck man i give up go ask someone else' so they get earrings to help#like it makes for some funny interactions!! language barrier fun!!#also you cant fucking tell me sylvarant and tethe'alla have the same fucking language down to each syllable#sure same root probably#but like. french and italian share the same latin root and fuck if i understand french#zelos speaking french to lloyd and lloyd being like 'o...oui?'#and its zelos saying some shit like 'youre a stupid little man who loves me. say yes if you disagree' and sheena smacks him#idk man i want this dynamic LOL

that doesn't..... alright
