Section 12. Of the Doctrine of our Priests
[Table of Contents]
The teachings of the Circles can be summed up in a simple statement: “Attend to your Configuration.”
Whether political, religious, or moral, every lesson the Circles teach us has the goal of improving the Configuration, or physical shape, of individuals and society at large, with special importance placed on the Configuration of Circles, which is the most important goal of all.
The Circles are to be praised for how well they’ve suppressed the ancient lies that convinced men to waste their time and energy laboring under the false belief that someone’s behavior was shaped through free will, effort, training, encouragement, praise, or anything else except Configuration.
It was Pantocyclus, the hero mentioned before now as the one who ended the Color Revolt, who first convinced mankind that Configuration is what makes the man – that if, for example, you were born an Isosceles with two Irregular sides, it’s guaranteed you would go down the wrong path in life unless you got them evened out.
This would require a visit to the Isosceles Hospital, or, if you were an Equillateral Triangle or Square, or even a Polygon, if you were born with any Irregularity, you must be brought to one of the Regular Hospitals to be cured. Otherwise, you would inevitably die in the State Prison, or by the sharp angle of the State Executioner.
Pantocyclus declared that every social problem, from the smallest misbehaviors to the most outrageously violent crimes, was caused by physical Irregularity of the body, which could be caused by anything from bumping into someone in a crowd, or not exercising enough, or exercising too much, or even just a sudden change of temperature.
This Illustrious Philosopher concluded from this idea that good behavior deserves no praise, and bad behavior deserves no blame. Why should you praise, for example, the work ethic of a Square lawyer who works hard to defend his clients, when you should instead be admiring the perfect precision of his right angles?
Why should you blame a lying, thieving Isosceles, when instead you should be hating the incurable Irregularity of his sides?
In theory, this doctrine is unquestionable. But in practice, it has some drawbacks.
When dealing with an Isosceles, if the lowlife argues that he can’t stop himself from stealing because of his Irregularity, the judge likewise has no choice but to sentence him to death, because nothing can fix the behavior of the Isosceles, and the case is closed.
But when dealing with your own misbehaving children, when the penalty of death is out of the question, Configuration Theory can make parenting very awkward.
Several times I’ve found myself backed into a metaphorical corner when one of my Hexagonal Grandsons, who is misbehaving, blames his refusal to do what he’s told on a sudden change of temperature that was just too much for his young Perimeter.
He argues that instead of blaming him for something he can’t control, I should be helping him strengthen his Configuration, which, he argues, would be helped along by giving him all of his favorite treats.
When this happens, I can’t argue with him without violating the ruling of the Circles, but I also can’t just give into his demands without question.
Personally, I’ve decided to assume that a good scolding and time out has a positive, and strengthening effect on my Grandsons’ Configuration, though I do have to admit I don’t have any physical proof of this.
But I’m not the only one who uses this loophole to avoid violating the doctrine – I’ve seen many of even the highest Circles, when they are Judges in law courts, placing praise and blame on Regular and Irregular Figures. And in their homes, I’ve seen first hand how, when scolding their own children, they speak of “right” and “wrong” just as passionately as if they believed these words represented real things that a human Figure could choose between.
By constantly enforcing their policy of making Configuration the ultimate goal in every mind, the Circles have reversed the rules that you Spacelanders apply to your own family relationships.
Your children are taught to honor your parents, but with us, after the Circles, a man is taught to honor first his Grandson, if he has one, or his Son if he doesn’t.
But let me make it clear that by “honor” I do not mean “indulge” or “spoil”, but to make them the best they can be. The Circles teach us that the duty of fathers is to always give advantages to their offspring before themselves, which helps increase the status of not only their direct descendants, but the whole State as well.
The weak point in the system of the Circles – if a humble Square may be so bold – seems to me, to be in how they conduct their relationships with Women.
Because reducing the number of Irregular births is such a top priority for the good of Society, it is a logical to conclude that a Woman who has any Irregularity in her ancestry should be considered an unfit partner for anyone who wants his Sons to have increased social mobility through an increase of Regular sides.
Now, Irregularity in Males is a simple matter of measurement, but because all Women are straight, and as far as the eye can see, Regular, one has to figure out another method to measure what I call their “invisible” or “potential” Irregularities that might be passed down onto their offspring.
The State has taken care of this by recording carefully-kept pedigrees showing the family history of all those registered. Without a certified pedigree, a Woman is not allowed to marry.
Now, you might assume that a Circle – proud of his ancestry, and ambitious for descendants, one of whom might even become the Chief Circle some day – would be more careful than any other man to make sure he chooses the wife who will produce the best Sons for him, with no stain of Irregularity in her history.
But you would be wrong.
The care taken to choose a pure-bred Regular wife seems to grow lazier as one rises higher in the social scale.
Nothing could ever convince an aspiring Isosceles, who hopes to produce an Equilateral Son, to take a wife who has ever had a single Irregular member registered in her family tree.
But a Square or Pentagon, who is confidant that his family is on the fast-track to higher status, won’t even bother asking any further back than the five-hundredth generation.
A Hexagon or Decagon is even more careless with his potential wife’s pedigree.
And a Circle has been known to purposefully marry a Woman whose Great-Grandfather was Irregular, all because of the attractive quality of her reflected light, or because of the charm of her deeper voice, something that we Flatlanders find, maybe even more than you do, “an excellent thing in a Woman”.
As you might expect, these badly-judged marriages result in either no offspring at all, offspring who are blatantly Irregular, or who have outright reduced in the number of sides. But none of these disastrous results have ever stopped anyone.
The loss of a few sides in a highly-developed Polygon is easy to dismiss, and is sometimes compensated for by one of those miraculously successful operations from the Neo-Therapeutic Gymnasium which I described earlier. And the Circles are much too willing to submit to infertility as a natural Law of the superior development to do anything to fix it.
But, if this evil is not stopped, the so far slow destruction of the Circular class could accelerate, and the day might come, sooner than anyone expects, when our race will no longer be able to produce a Chief Circle, and Flatland as we know it will be destroyed.
I’m aware of another danger that should be warned against, though with this one I have no easy solutions to offer, and this one is also on the subject of our relationships with Women.
About three hundred years ago, the Chief Circle decided that, because women are lacking in Reason, but have an over abundance of Emotion, they would no longer be treated as rational, and would no longer receive any education.
The consequence of this declaration was that women were no longer taught to read or write, and weren’t even taught enough basic Arithmetic to count the number of sides on their husband or sons. It was inevitable that each following generation would lack more and more intellectual power, and this rule of female non-education still continues to this day.
My fear is that, though made with the best intentions, this policy goes too far, and harms us of the Male Sex.
Because with things the way they are now, we Males have to lead an exhausting bi-lingual and, please don’t think I am exaggerating, bi-mental existence.
With Women, we speak of “love”, “duty”, “right”, “wrong”, “pity”, “hope”, and other completely irrational, emotional concepts which do not actually exist. We pretend these things are real for the sole purpose of controlling Feminine Outbursts.
But among ourselves, and in our books, we have an entirely different vocabulary, and, I might almost say, language. “Love” becomes “the anticipation of benefits”. “Duty” becomes “necessity” or “fitness”, and so on and so forth.
More importantly, when we are among Women, we use language that implies absolute worship for their Sex, and they fully believe that the Chief Circle Himself is less important to us than they are.
But behind their backs, they are both thought of and spoken of, by all except the very young, as little better than, to quote, “mindless organisms".
The matters of Religion are also spoken of completely differently when we are in the Women’s chambers than when we are outside.
My humble fear is that this double training, in both language as well as thought, places too much of a burden upon the young Males, especially when they reach their third year, when they are first removed from the care of their mothers.
They must entirely unlearn their first way of thinking to make way for the new language of science, but then they still have to speak in the old language when in the presence of their Mothers and Nurses and Sisters.
Already I think that children today struggle more to understand basic mathematics than our ancestors did three hundred years ago.
Not to mention the danger that would arise if a Woman ever manages to learn how to read, and tells the rest of her Sex what she’s found in just a single popular book, or the possibility that an very young Male might reveal to his Mother the secrets of the logical language, either by accident, or purposeful disobedience.
Based on the simple fact that the current policies make Men less intelligent, I humbly ask that the highest Authorities rethink the laws forbidding Female education.

"Teacher's Plea to Quash FIR Under POCSO Act Rejected: Court Emphasizes Need for Thorough Investigation"
The High Court dismissed the petition praying for the quashing of the FIR.
The Court noted that the complaint is more than horrendous, for the reason that the petitioner is a teacher; being a teacher it is indecorous on the part of the petitioner to have allegedly shot the videos and taken pictures of girl children at the time when they are changing their dress, the alleged offence is unpardonable, albeit prima facie. If this cannot become a crime, it is ununderstandable as to what else can be. It is for the petitioner to come out clean in a full blown trial, as any entertainment of the petition at this juncture, at the stage of registration of crime, would be putting a premium on the illegal activities of the petitioner/ teacher.
Background:
Muniyappa was employed as a drawing teacher at Morarji Desai Residential School. On December 15, 2023, the Joint Director of the Social Welfare Department received a complaint through the control room, alleging that Muniyappa had recorded videos and taken photographs of minor girls at the school while they were changing clothes. This led to the registration of FIR No. 209/2023 under Section 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act by the Masthi Police Station.
Legal Issue
Whether the FIR against Muniyappa under Section 12 of the POCSO Act should be quashed on the grounds of procedural irregularities and alleged malice.
Argument of the Parties
Petitioner's Argument
The investigation began unlawfully before the FIR was registered, violating legal procedures.
The complaint was motivated by personal vendetta because Muniyappa had earlier reported the misuse of school children for cleaning water and sewerage tanks.
The complaint contained corrections, indicating that it was fabricated to malign Muniyappa.
Respondents (State of Karnataka and the Joint Director, Social Welfare Department):
Muniyappa's actions constituted a clear offense under Section 12 of the POCSO Act.
The evidence, including videos and photographs on the seized mobile phones, confirmed the allegations.
The Petitioner-Muniyappa was not cooperating with the investigation, as he refused to unlock one of his mobile phones, which likely contained incriminating evidence.
Muniyappa recorded inappropriate videos and took photographs of the girls, which was substantiated by evidence from his mobile devices.
Court's Observation
The court noted the procedural concerns raised by Muniyappa but emphasized the seriousness of the allegations under the POCSO Act and the need for a thorough investigation to determine the truth.
It examined the sequence of events, including the timing of the complaint, the seizure of the mobile phones, and the registration of the FIR. The court considered the arguments regarding the tampering of the complaint and the handling of electronic evidence.
The court was cautious in considering the petitioner's argument about the complaint being fabricated, given the sensitive nature of the allegations involving minor students.

All the final lines of each part of every Hunger Games book
THG:
Part I:
“Because . . . because . . . she came here with me.”
Part II:
Before I can stop myself, I call out Peeta’s name.
Part III:
I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.
CF:
Part I:
It’s my mockingjay.
Part II:
This is no place for a girl on fire.
Part III:
“Katniss, there is no District Twelve.”
MJ:
Part I:
And his blood as it splatters the tiles.
Part II:
That I’m of more use to her dead than alive.
Part III:
I tell him, “Real.”
#thg#the hunger games#catching fire#mockingjay#peeta mellark#katniss everdeen#gale hawthorne#thg book comb#curious that 5/9 of these involve peeta#and he's not just mentioned in passing#from his revelation of love to him being tortured to katniss's feeling about him#he's KEY he's CENTRAL he's THE DRIVING FORCE THAT USHERS IN THE NEXT SECTION OF THE BOOK#over to gale#poor guy is in one (1) final line#and even then he's just relating news to katniss#the subject is the destruction of district 12 (her home)#it's a heavy and jarring line because of what d12 means to katniss#NOT because of gale himself#and NOT because of anything to do with their relationship#also interesting that the only characters/players these ending lines focus on are:#peeta (x5)#coin#snow (implied)#and the rebellion#never prim or gale or anyone else#although I know they have several CHAPTER endings all to themselves#so this is NOT to say that a character's presence (or lack thereof) in these particular final lines#is directly related to their importance to the plot#(see: snow)#HOWEVER

you can really tell the different audience demographics of Lifesteal vs Hermitcraft by the comment sections because the average spokeishere or whatever comment is like “LIKE THIS if you are a real Spoke fan!!! ❤️👊😎 if this comment gets 100 LIKES ill tell my mom to subscribe 🤪 who else is watching in 2028❓❓😂” whilst the average ethoslab comment is like “my wife is giving birth but this is more important”
#this is no hate to either lifesteal or hermitcraft im a fan of both. i just find the contrast between comment sections funny#its kinda wild being in both communities as an older teenager#like sometimes ill watch a lifesteal video and then glance at the comments and its like. woah. you guys are so young#especially squiddo videos…#like woah you are all children. im glad 12 year olds are watching squiddo though shes so fucking funny they got good taste#watching squiddo videos the same way adults were watching horrible histories because its funnier than any comedy show aimed at adults#<- fun fact for you. they started broadcasting horrible histories in the evenings because it had so many adult fans because its so funny#like sorry but squiddo is consistently the funniest content creator i watch beyond even mcyt like. actually nobody doing it like them#sorry to tommy or any other mcyt tryna get into comedy your bits will never come close to squiddo#also the ethoslab one isnt ironic i very much imagine one of those 30yo software developers in love with etho to have typed that#hermitcraft#lifesteal smp#mcyt#locus fandom time#this one may flop but i cant stop thinking about this

here i am again thinking about how different tranches of the Dr. Who fandom rate each Doctor's different stories relative to each other. last year (or so) i did a big post analysing @adventure-showdown 's poll of the Tumblr fandom as it compared to the DWM reader's poll. there i examined the overlap of those two groups of fans' top- and bottom-rated stories for each Doctor. it was enlightening!
here i'm gonna further that analysis, with data from tardis.guide. i'm taking this data as of February 1, 2025 - clearly not exactly contemporary with the earlier data sets, but i suspect there will be some interesting trends. i made Venn diagrams. let's dive in.
First Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The Time Meddler (top) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: The Romans (top), The Smugglers (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Dalek Invasion of Earth (top), The Web Planet (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Edge of Destruction (top), The Crusade, The Savages (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: Galaxy 4 (bottom) Just DWM: The Daleks' Masterplan (top), The Sensorites, The Space Museum (bottom)
In 1's top and bottom three, there's only one story that all three sources agree should be at one of these extremes: The Time Meddler is in the top three. I'm disappointed to see Galaxy 4 in Tardis Guide's bottom three, the novelisation was an early and important piece of Doctor Who for me. But it's tough with a mostly-missing serial.
Second Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The War Games (top), The Dominators, The Space Pirates (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: The Mind Robber, The Enemy of the World (top), The Krotons (bottom) Just DWM: The Power of the Daleks, Tomb of the Cybermen (top) The Underwater Menace (bottom)
There is a bit more broad consensus on 2 than on 1. All three sources agree that The War Games is in the top tier, and The Dominators and The Space Pirates are at the bottom. Then, the Tardis Guide user base seems to follow Tumblr's inclinations, ranking The Mind Robber and The Enemy of the World at the top and The Krotons at the bottom (another important novelisation for a younger version of this writer, but alas).
Third Doctor
All agree: The Green Death (top), The Mutants (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Death to the Daleks (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Spearhead from Space, Inferno (top), The Monster of Peladon (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Dæmons, The Three Doctors (top), Planet of the Daleks (bottom) Just DWM: The Time Monster (bottom)
Every Doctor has at least one story that all three sources agree is either at the top or the bottom, and I think that's great! It gives me a sense of a broader view of the fandom's tastes. For 3, it's no surprise that The Green Death is unanimously top-three material and The Mutants bottom-three (though, again, I'm realising I have some anti-mainstream opinions about some of these earlier "bad" serials" - I really liked The Mutants!). Tardis Guide's userbase breaks m ore in the DWM readership's favour regarding most of the rest of the rankings, with Spearhead and Inferno at the top and The Monster of Peladon at the bottom from both of those sources.
Fourth Doctor's top/bottom four
All agree: City of Death, Genesis of the Daleks (top), Underworld, The Power of Kroll (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Revenge of the Cybermen (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Meglos (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: Robots of Death (top) Just Tumblr: The Horror of Fang Rock (top), Nightmare of Eden (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The Seeds of Doom, Shada (top) Just DWM: Pyramids of Mars (top), The Horns of Nimon (bottom)
It's our first full Venn diagram! There's at least one item populating each section! And it's no surprise with the number of stories this guy has. I don't know what to make of the fact that Tardis Guide lists Shada alongside all of 4's regular TV stories - different methodologies for different folks, i guess. (Psst, there's only one other full Venn in this post - can you guess which Doctor it is?)
Fifth Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The Caves of Androzani (top), Time-Flight (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Enlightenment (top) Tardis Guide/DWM: Earthshock (top), The King's Demons, Warriors of the Deep (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: The Five Doctors (top) Just Tumblr: Four to Doomsday, The Awakening (bottom)
There is fairly broad agreement with 5's best and worst. It seems Tumblr is the fly in the ointment here, with our particular dislike of Four to Doomsday and The Awakening. However, all can agree that The Caves of Androzani is great and Time-Flight is less great.
Sixth Doctor
All agree: Vengeance on Varos (top), Timelash, The Twin Dilemma (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Revelation of the Daleks (top) Just Tumblr: Mark of the Rani, Trial of a Time Lord (top), The Ultimate Evil (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The Mysterious Planet (top), Mindwarp (bottom) Just DWM: The Two Doctors (top), Attack of the Cybermen (bottom)
6 is probably the most problematic to do this sort of analysis for, because each of the three sources' methodologies differ such that each treats Trial differently: adventure-showdown's Tumblr poll listed Trial as a unit and each individual part separately, Tardis Guide just lists the individual parts, and DWM just listed the full season as one story. A mess. But a delightful mess, just like Sixie himself.
Seventh Doctor
All agree: Survival, Remembrance of the Daleks (top), Delta and the Bannermen, Time and the Rani (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Silver Nemesis (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Curse of Fenric (top) Just Tumblr: The Happiness Patrol (top) Just DWM: Paradise Towers (bottom)
7's run shows the most cohesion yet, with all three sources agreeing on 2/3 of each of the top and bottom stories in his run. Then it's just a matter of whether you prefer pink TARDISes or wet vampires.
Eighth Doctor
I won't attempt to make a Venn for 8, but I will sum up how his top 10 audio dramas overlap.
Both Agree: The Chimes of Midnight, Scherzo, Solitaire, To the Death, The Red Lady Just Tumblr: Caerdroia, The Natural History of Fear, Zagreus, Storm Warning, The Silver Turk Just Tardis Guide: Albie's Angels, Absent Friends, Lucie Miller, Palindrome - Part 1, Day of the Master - Part 2
A very neat 5/5/5 split here! I can see a definite bias towards 8/Charlie and the Divergent arc in Tumblr's top, whereas the Tardis Guide userbase seems to prefer 8/Liv/Helen and 8/Lucie, and I'm surprised and delighted to see a story from the Eighth Doctor's Time War series!
I may as well do the novels too, one second... Okay, here's how each source ranked their top 5 8DAs.
Both Agree: Alien Bodies, Unnatural History Just Tumblr: Interference, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, The Adventuress of Henrietta Street Just Tardis Guide: The Year of Intelligent Tigers, Vampire Science, Seeing I
Okay back to the TV show.
Ninth Doctor
All agree: Dalek, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways (top), Aliens of London/World War Three, The Long Game (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: Boom Town (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The Unquiet Dead (bottom)
I had to make the Venn diagram squishier, that's how much cohesion there is in these three sources' opinions on 9's run! You'll recall that DWM and the Tumblr poll completely agreed on his top and bottom three. The Tardis Guide userbase throws a bit of a wrench in, declaring their dislike of The Unquiet Dead over Boom Town, though I'll note that the latter is fourth from the bottom in the Tardis Guide rankings. I'm really interested in the broad consensus that seems to have formed around 9's stories - they practically don't move in the DWM reader rankings over the past decade plus. I'm curious to see if anything will be re-evaluated in the future.
Tenth Doctor's top/bottom four
All agree: Blink, Midnight, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead (top), The Idiot's Lantern, The Lazarus Experiment (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Meglos (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: Love & Monsters, Fear Her (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Fires of Pompeii (top), The Next Doctor, The Shakespeare Code (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: Turn Left (top) Just DWM: Human Nature/The Family of Blood (top)
While I find the broad agreement around 9 fascinating, I'm equally fascinated by the divergence around 10. This analysis shows that people are inclined to believe that no more than one of the following stories belongs in his top 4: The Fires of Pompeii, Turn Left, and Human Nature/The Family of Blood. Not to say that they're interchangeable, but I think which one you pick can say a lot!
Eleventh Doctor's top/bottom four:
All agree: The Eleventh Hour, Vincent and the Doctor (top), The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Victory of the Daleks (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Day of the Doctor (top), Nightmare in Silver (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang (top) Just Tumblr: The Doctor's Wife (top), The Crimson Horror, Night Terrors (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The God Complex (top) Just DWM: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, The Curse of the Black Spot (bottom)
*airhorns* It's our second full Venn diagram! Much like 4, 11 has a lot to choose from and a really wide range of vibe throughout his run. He also has some stupidly long story titles, which are not very highly rated across the board (perhaps there's a correlation? make another graph!). Of note: the Eleventh Doctor is the only incarnation whose first and last stories are both ranked at the top by at least one of the sources (in this case, DWM and Tardis Guide) - except for the Second Doctor, to whom DWM also grants this distinguished position. I just think it's neat! [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE: it's been pointed out that Day is not 11's last story FML. i always forget about Name [2nd Edit: TIME OF THE DOCTOR]. perhaps there's a reason it's not included in the above diagram.]
Twelfth Doctor's top/bottom four
All agree: Heaven Sent, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, Mummy on the Orient Express (top), Sleep No More, Kill the Moon, In the Forest of the Night (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: The Husbands of River Song (top) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Woman Who Lived (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Lie of the Land (bottom) Just DWM: Flatline (top)
More agreement than 10, less than 9. I like that the three unanimously agreed top stories of the top four are each from different series: Mummy, Heaven Sent, and WEAT/TDF. Also I really need to rewatch Sleep No More - could it be as bad as I remember?
Thirteenth Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos, Orphan 55 (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Demons of the Punjab (top) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Haunting of Villa Diodati (top), Legend of the Sea Devils (bottom) Just Tumblr: Eve of the Daleks, Spyfall (top), The Vanquishers (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: Village of the Angels (top) Just DWM: Fugitive of the Judoon, The Power of the Doctor (top)
And last but not least, 13. It's tough for everyone to come together and say which episodes of hers we all liked, but it's very easy to point at and judge Ranskoor Av Kolos and Orphan 55. I think when the dust has settled a bit more, Demons and Haunting will be more universally praised as the highlights of her run, but opinions are still quite spread out at the moment.
I hope you enjoyed this meta-analysis as much as i enjoyed making a bunch of silly Venn diagrams.
#doctor who#venn diagrams#tardis guide#edited a copy-paste typo in 12's section#and another in 11's as well as a factual error fml#can you tell how much i pay attention to Matt Smith's era?

Fit: Pac– this isn't you, you're just– I know you're all happy and stuff, and this medicine is making you feel good, but it's not reality. It's not reality.
Pac: [Shouting] And what is reality, Fit?! What is reality?! The reality that we have is like, just wait until the Eggs show up, or just wait for something to happen! I'm cool with my medicine, you know? I'm cool with Cucurucho helping me! It's making me feel way more better! So that's the reality for me, you know. Reality is the thing that you accept, so I'm accepting this as my reality. [He sighs, then says in a quieter voice] Sorry, Fit. Sorry, I just– sorry. I didn't mean to scream at you, sorry.
Fit: No, listen Pac– you need help. I know you– do you even remember why you took this medicine in the first place?
Pac: [In a quiet voice] 'Cuz I didn't have any other choice, you know. I was hopeless. It was my only choice, to use the medicine. That's all. [In a quieter voice, starting to mumble] That's why I'm gonna- I'm gonna still- gonna use it.
Fit: Look Pac–
Pac: –until I forget what happened, and that's it! That's what I'm going to do.
Fit: I know you're still in there somewhere, Pac. I know you still remember everything. I need you to remember.
Pac: [Mumbled] ...I will remember– I won't– I don't want to, I don't want to. I just want to- to build my home alone, ok Fit? I'm- I'm sorry.
#QSMP#Pactw#FitMC#Hideduo#Fitpac#...sorta#Fit#Pac#Risus Arc#September 12 2023#As a Pac viewer the Risus arc was so rough#but this specific interaction#this specific conversation broke me#this is only a section from the fully conversation (which I've already posted. I didn't realize this part was missing until now)#This entire conversation I can visualize so clearly in my mind as if it's an animated sequence#Pac's nervous fidgets. The dark circles under his eyes. all of it#agh....#I wasn't sure where to fit it in the transcript but#Fit exhales like he's trying to remind himself to stay calm and it drives me crazy

#for those wondering yes this post is influenced by hoyoverse but whatever. its genericized okay#i find it very interesting how split this poll is! I'm dividing gravity/time into 2 equal sections though because i honestly fucked up w tht#given 11-12 options the avg perfect split should be around 8 and 9% each.#didn't expect nature and electricity to be so popular#or vanilla extract tbh

#remembering that one time i was 12#and my mom signed me up for a competition hosted by fucking harvard without telling me#about shopee's business plans#and what they could do to profit or sth#and i balled by eyes out crying bc i couldn't understand anything (neither could my teacher at school)#and mom wouldn't help me#so i cried some more#and she yelled at me bc she already put in money#ig now history is repeating itself#cuz my mom is telling me how she wasted her money on me for ielts#because i couldn't understand a single thing in the reading section (pt 3)#because the topic was fucking finance (AGAIN) and i could comprehend what it was saying#i just didn't understand what it meant#same thing went for a stephen hawking book once#discussed theories i haven't even touched about in schools#i dont think 13 year olds are supposed to be forced to consume medias about finance and politics and academics all the time#i mean im 13#im taking ielts soon#thats 3 years earlier than the minimum#which is 16#likehonestly#i dont wanna do this#anymore

Will the poison drip through? (1. x, 2. x, 3. x, 4. x, 5. x, 6. x)
#i think the vibe of this one came out more positive than i intended. i do not think they will overcome ahkjdshfdl#this should be a portent of DOOM !#just all that history and weight a pressure and narratize bearing down on you and your teammate before hes even your teammate...#couldnt fit it obv but honarary section goes to oxleybom being like LMAOOO NO pecco doesnt want marc on his team#from like 3 months ago. my divas.#motogp#callie speaks#can you all hear me. do you understand me.#anways it’s like half past midnight i got possessed when the clock struck 12. forgive tag typos.
