on the Iliad, the Trojan Wars
The Literature Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained, James Canton
a tale of two heroes
Achilles is the professional soldier, with few family ties, and Hector the reluctant but fierce fighter, defending home and family rather than honour.
Their characteristics and situations are metaphors for the contrasting values of society and those of the individual, and those of duty and responsibility compared with loyalty and love.
Neither side is wholly right or wrong, but in this war one must emerge victorious.
leave a little kindness

The Essence of Japanese Education: Lessons from School Performances
What a School Performance Reveals About Japanese Education By Ema Ryan Yamazaki What truly defines the essence of being “Japanese”? For me, the answer lies in the invaluable lessons we learn during our formative years in elementary school. From as young as six, children in Japan are entrusted with responsibilities that foster a sense of community; they are tasked with cleaning their own…

"Judiciary Intervenes: Petitioner’s Trust Activities Deemed Harmful to Public Morality"
In a surprising legal twist, the Madras High Court recently dismissed petitions challenging police actions and charges against an individual. The court’s decision was based on compelling evidence that pointed to serious offenses, including the potential exploitation of a minor. Notably, the petitioner had sought protection to run a brothel, a request that raised eyebrows in legal circles.
The court’s reasoning emphasized the need to maintain the reputation of advocates in society. It urged the Bar Council to enroll only graduates from reputable law colleges, highlighting the importance of legal education and ethical conduct.
As part of its ruling, the court demanded that the petitioner provide proof of enrollment and educational qualifications. This case serves as a stark reminder that legal actions can have far-reaching consequences, and the judiciary remains vigilant in upholding justice.
Raja Murrugan v. The SP Nagercoil Kanyakumari District & 2 others
Crl. Pet. 9399/2024 & WP 13963/2024
Before Madras High Court
Heard by Hon'ble Mr. Justice B. Pugalendhi J
The petitioner, Raja Murrugan, filed two petitions: a criminal original petition for quashing the FIR lodged against him alleging false accusations and harassment by the police, and a writ petition seeking protection for his trust, "Friends For Ever Trust," which provides services including consensual sexual activities.
Facts:
The petitioner claims to be the founder of "Friends For Ever Trust," registered under Reg.No.147 of 2022, promoting adult recreation and related activities, including oil baths and consensual sex services.
On 17.02.2024, the police searched the trust premises, arrested the petitioner, and registered a case under various sections of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The petitioner was arrested and later released on bail. He alleges that the case was orchestrated by his ex-wife using a minor girl to frame him.
Legal Issue: Whether the activities conducted by the petitioner's trust constitute legal consensual services or illegal activities under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and POCSO Act.
Points of Arguments
Petitioner's arguments- The petitioner vigorously defended actions as consensual and well within the bounds of privacy. The petitioner submitted that the activities of the "Friends For Ever Trust" were lawful and did not constitute a criminal offense.
Consensual and Legal: The petitioner maintained that the activities involved consenting adults and were conducted within a framework of trust. He argued that these private interactions should not be subject to state interference or criminalization.
Privacy Rights: Citing the Indian Constitution’s recognition of the Right to Privacy, the petitioner contended that their personal liberty included the freedom to make choices—specifically, engaging in consensual activities with other adults. He argued that the state’s actions is an infringement on his fundamental right.
False Complaint Allegations: The petitioner further claimed that the police action stemmed from a false complaint orchestrated by his ex-wife. He challenged the legitimacy of the charges and emphasized the need for a fair investigation.
Consensual Nature of Activities: The petitioner asserted that the trust provided a platform for consenting adults to engage in relationships and activities of their choice. He argued that since all activities were consensual and among adults, they fell within the realm of personal freedom and should not be criminalized.
Absence of Illegal Actions: The petitioner maintained that there was no evidence of illegal actions, exploitation, or coercion in the trust's activities. He emphasized that the trust was not involved in any activities that could be classified as criminal under Indian law, such as trafficking, forced labor, or any other form of exploitation.
Argument of the State
Legitimate Investigation: The State justified initiating the investigation based on credible information pointing to potential illegal activities within the “Friends For Ever Trust.”
Concerns of Illegality: Despite the trust’s claims of operating within legal bounds, serious concerns arose. Allegations hinted at activities that might breach Indian laws, including immoral trafficking or exploitation.
Public Interest and Protection: The State underscored its duty to safeguard the public interest and prevent harm to societal morals. The investigation aimed to shield vulnerable individuals and maintain order.
Criminal Proceedings Justified: Filing the FIR and pursuing criminal proceedings were grounded in prima facie evidence gathered during the investigation. Authorities acted to uphold the law.
No Fundamental Rights Violation: The State refuted any infringement on the petitioner’s fundamental rights. Privacy and personal liberty, they argued, don’t shield illegal activities or actions contrary to public welfare.
Court's Observation
The court expressed shock at the petitioner's claim of running a brothel under the guise of a trust and his purported status as an advocate. The allegations involved immoral trafficking and potential exploitation of women under the guise of running a charitable trust, which is a serious offense. The nature of the allegations, if proven true, could indicate severe misconduct and abuse of trust, as well as violations of legal and moral standards.
The court noted the discrepancies in the petitioner's statements and the seriousness of the allegations involving a minor.
The court emphasized the need for maintaining moral sanctity and preventing exploitation under the guise of consensual activities.
The court was concerned about the actual activities carried out by the "Friends For Ever Trust." Although the trust was purported to be involved in charitable activities, there were serious allegations suggesting that the trust's operations may have included illegal activities. The court likely found it disturbing that such activities could be taking place under the cover of a charitable organization, which generally enjoys a certain level of public trust and immunity.
The court was shocked by the implications of the case for public morality and the enforcement of laws protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation. The potential involvement of a trust in illegal activities, especially one that may exploit vulnerable women, raises significant concerns about the protection of societal values and the effectiveness of law enforcement.

The Great Indian Paradox: When Sixes Outscore Sacrifices
**Introduction:**In the grand Indian theater, where cricket bats swing mightier than the swords of justice, and the glitz of Bollywood overshadows the grit of the border, we find ourselves in a saga of ironic contrasts. Welcome to the land where celluloid heroes are worshipped, and real heroes often forgotten, where a sixer can fetch millions, but a soldier’s sacrifice struggles for a headline.…

"My family s0ld me to the industry when I was 14 years old and when ever wanted to complaîn, they never listened cuz all they cared about was the money. When I was with Diddy, I saw and did things which no kid should ever do nor see." Justin Bieber
"It was hard for me being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn to. Everyone turnęd their backs on me, even my own family because all they wanted was the money. I saw things which any kid shouldn't see, and I did things which any kid shouldn't do because I had no choice.
What I went through in this industry, I don't wîsh that upon anybody. There are things in the industry that people don't wanna talk about because it'll reveal things which shouldn't be revealed. It's just so sîck because no one is willing to take the rîsk and say it. I've just decided to distance myself from this industry and heal cuz I'm still hũrt."

"why couldn't shuro have just been honest about what he felt with laios and falin it's not that hard" are you. are you White
#dungeon meshi#shuro#toshiro nakamoto#look you can hate him for other things but this is very clearly a case of cultures (& personalities influenced by these cultures) clashing#shuro is japanese/east asian-coded and laios is european white boy#i am not japanese but i also come from a collectivistic society#pakikisama is a filipino value both prized and abhorred#it relies heavily on being able to read social cues and prior knowledge of societal norms#shuro being from a different country/culture is important to his character#his repressed nature is meant to contrast with laios' open one like that's the point#they both had similar upbringings but different coping mechanisms#shuro explicitly admits that he's jealous of laios being able to live life sincerely#anyway the point is they were operating on different expectations entirely and neither had healthy enough communication skills#to hash things out before they got too bad#re his attraction to falin i personally believe he unfortunately mpdg-ed her#she represented something new & different. a fresh drink of water for his parched repressed self#alas not meant to be#i'll be honest the way ryoko kui handles both fantasy & regular racism in dm is more miss than hit for me#i don't doubt that a lot of the shuro hate is based off of marcille's pov of him#marcille famously racist 😭#characters' racist views don't often get (too) challenged#practically everyone is casually racist at some point#anyway. again if you're gonna hate shuro at least hate him for being complicit in human trafficking & slavery#he couldn't help falling for the wrong woman goddamn 😭#calemonsito notes#edit: upon further reflection i take back what i said about toshiro mpdg-ing falin!#i'm sorry toshiro 😭

It's so weird and messed up to me how society puts marriage on this pedestal as something we must aspire for as part of growing up, and how it's literally treated as something folks in committed long term relationships have to do in order to be "truly committed" or "truly serious" or "truly longterm".
Like why does a relationship have to have a legal contract involved that is sanctioned by and dissolvable only by the law to be considered valid and true?? Why do folks have to enter a legal commitment contract to be considered "actually truly for-reals serious" long term partners? Goverment's really gotta be in our business in order for us to be seen as fully adults or for partnerships to be seen as fully valid? Hell no!! You kidding me?? Society so weird for that fr 😭
No hate to anyone ofc, but the way marriage is largely considered an expectation for people and for partnered relationships is so weird and damaging.
#random vent#the amount of crap I gave myself for so long for being hesitant about the idea of getting married and how the idea of it gave me anxiety...#but I felt I NEEDED to do it eventually in order to be “truly never alone in adulthood” or “truly committed/in partnership with someone”#it took me years into adulthood to realize I can actually choose not to abide by societal expectations like this#and how a person's or a partnering relationship's value shouldn't be dependent on any ritual or contract or whatever#you can do whatever you want forever and nobody and no societal norm gets to determine the value of any part of you or your life#aro#aromantic#ace#asexual#aroace#romance ambivalent#marriage-averse#amatonormativity SUCKS😭

Life can be hard, Really hard. We all carry so much stress on our shoulders and in our hearts. The world can seem so cold and uncaring but when things get dark and you're feeling super stressed, that you just don't measure up. When you're thinking about those riches you don't have or that car, the fancy house or super-model physique or whatever else society has told you you should be chasing after- stop. Turn down that noise. Take a deep breath or two. Listen to professor Pinkie spell it out for ya, Eternal Courtship style.
Big love to the original inspiration for this li'l list of good things to focus on in this amazing thing we call life.

It’s still just so funny how badly leftists want to manifest JK Rowling’s downfall into existence. They keep trying to convince themselves and each other that this lady not supporting men in dresses being granted access to women’s abuse shelters has made her and her work irrelevant in the eyes of the general public, as if Hogwarts Legacy didn’t make tons of money, people aren’t visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in droves, kids aren’t still checking out the Harry Potter books from the library en masse in every school I’ve worked at, there hasn’t been an HBO adaptation announced, etc. It’s almost like most people in the real world still like JK Rowling and her stuff and don’t actually care about the trans crap, lol.

The regular pat video is making me realize being a mobile games fan is an inherently different experience from being a main games fan
#I find the video genuinely interesting so I'm willing to endure it but. I really do not enjoy the mobile game slander#It just speaks of an unwillingness to engage or give goodwill to me#Like hey. I find skuld plenty interesting. I think her friendship with Player and ephemer is cool#And I like that she has repeated canon parallels to ava. That she was chosen to be a leader. That she strived for inter-union peace#Maybe out of all the union leaders she's got the least current focus but. I feel regular pat is deliberately not engaging with her#And that makes me sad. Give her some credit beyond “she might be subject x” huh?#Don't get me started on the dark road slander.#I know it's not the best game and the story suffered cuts but his attitude feels unjustly dismissive#Baldr is an interesting villain and im glad he made top 100 despite the repeated digs!!!#I think a character that examines societal pressure & mental health and mass violence is pretty interesting and topical!#Especially considering the ramifications his actions had on Eraqus and Xehanort!#And perhaps you could conceptualize the value he has to the story if you gave the mobile games a chance :3#Rant over im not even done with the video yet I just needed to be pissy for a second

Regarding the whole "Fandom Is An Escape, so why should I have to care this much about misogyny/racism/ableism/transphobia/etc." thing. Idk about the rest of you, but it gets kind of hard for me to "escape" when I keep seeing people say the same vile things about characters who share aspects of my identity that I hear all the time in real life.
#gotta say: it doesn't make me feel any better getting ignored/disparaged on account of my gender irl and then seeing every fictional woman#also get ignored/disparaged when there is no material difference between her and popular male characters other than her gender#how do I escape from irl misogyny if y'all keep willfully ignoring and flinging gendered insults at 99% (<-lowball estimate) of#female characters? how do I put aside the ableism I face in real life when y'all discuss disabled/mentally ill characters in the most#absolutely out-of-pocket way? how do I forget about biphobia when the 'arguments' you make 'for fun' about bisexual characters#in fiction sound EXACTLY the same as the things people say about my bisexuality outside of the internet/fan culture?#and then obviously this gets compounded if you are trying to even simply EXIST in fandom as a poc or a trans person or an intersection of#any or all these varying identities/life experiences#like yes caring about fictional characters is not the same as caring about real people OBVIOUSLY I can't BELIEVE I have to keep clarifying#that. and at the same time!! because multiple things can be true at the same time!!!! engaging in behavior that enforces pre-ingrained#societal biases and prejudices!!!!!!!! does not help dismantle those biases and prejudices!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a real-world way that DOES#involve caring about actual people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#it's also. interesting. when people go on & on about how some newest show about thin cis white (male) gays is So Important & Revolutionary#So We Must Do Everything To Keep It Relevant And Visible and then act this way about women/poc/trans people/disabled people/fat people#in media. so like. you DO agree that seeing a variety of life experiences represented in fiction is beneficial. you DO believe in the#value of depicting marginalized people. interesting that that only seems to apply to a VERY narrow and specific category of marginalization#(ugh remember when I talked about this and someone called me a straight person good times)

My personal take on Teru’s parents is that they got sucked up into the same “awareness of The Narrative but it’s the wrong narrative” problem that their son did. They believe that Teru’s powers make him special. They make him a different class of being. And his parents are just normal humans, so there’s nothing they could have done to help him. They’re just normal humans, so it was too dangerous for them to stay. They’re just normal humans, and he’s The Protagonist, so obviously he’ll be fine by himself!
I find this a lot more compelling, because while their actions are obviously still awful, it’s the sort of thing that would make sense in a different story. In a story that did see espers as different and special and better (like most stories with superpowers!), a protagonist wanting to keep his non-powered family safe and far away would be the right decision. A protagonist taking on adult responsibilities and adult levels of independence at a young age is just a slightly tragic but inevitable consequence of his Special, Unique status. It would be consistent with the themes of the show: the Hanazawas can abandon their son and still whole-heartedly believe that they’re doing the right thing because they see Teru as a Protagonist, not as a person.
But this is Mob Psycho, and it knows just how stupid that is.
And this is why they need Reigen Arataka, Normal Man, Avatar Of Mundane Reality, to smack their heads together and point out that this is a child and they have a responsibility and him having psychic powers doesn’t change any of that!
#mp100#also reflective of the treatment that autistic kids who are really good at specific societally-valued tasks get#not the literal abandonment#but the idea that if this kid is so good at Important Things than they don't need to be treated like the child they are#mob meta

still haven't moved on from zane in this episode (aka I hit tag limit again and am unhappy about it)
#alek insanity#not gonna main tag this but prepare for a tiny rant#home is actually really good zane characterization and its super cool to me how it holds up to this day#s1 characterization is very specific to me because the behaviors displayed by the ninja there (mostly) isnt bc thats how they really are but#its due to societal pressure. cole originally being more 'stone faced tough guy' -> 'down to earth' -> 'really sensible easy to talk to guy'#is because hes always been a sensitive guy... but he felt he couldnt express that true version of himself. thats the whole thing behind his#true potential. jay going from s1 -> s6 -> now is less of societal pressure and more teenager figuring himself out but it still applies. ish#seeing how much the ninja have changed or grown from then to now is amazing because back then they all wore masks. they didnt know each#other all that well. but theyve gained that comfortability with each other and also have grown and matured as people#some seasons / eps characterization for certain people im not a fan of (lloyds random misogyny arc in s13) but i mean the overall trend here#and then there is zane. zane in home was pretty dead on to how he behaves now (at least... when it comes to his faults?) and i dont want to#say people skim over that but i am the sf proclaimed n1 s1e2 fan and overthink every scene. zane's early characterization is some of my fav#for him period. he also goes through a ton of traumatic stuff and a ton of bad writing bouts but why he acts so 'weird' or 'distant' has#always been a thread sewn in. he changed so much he stayed the same in a way... if that makes sense. -> ohhh the ninja get mail and he#doesnt? oh he has no family? he quite literally walks away from that situation. oh the ninja are yelling in his face and asking whats wrong#with him? he literally walks away from that situation. he says its to follow the falcon but seeing how he apologized to them by not only#baking a ton of pies (cough... the food fight is what led to him leaving at first) but he also found them a whole entire new house.#zane is unable to truly value what he does for others. insert him in s11 saying he 'tried' to fufill his goal of protecting others.#everything he has ever done still isnt good enough. then the ninja tried to apologize and he didnt really... let them.#that one post about characters putting on facades and that facade being how people really see them. even in fandom. thats zane to me#the guy who lies about being upset and avoids his problems ran away after being yelled at? and he said he wasnt really mad? that is a lie!!#him being a ~360 when it comes to his character development is neat to me because he never hid behind a mask in the same way the others did#cole wanting to seem tough vs being really soft? kai wanting approval so bad he starts being selfish? kai isnt selfish usually!#he is self centered but that is a whole different thing. just wanting to fit in and breaking free of that. zane's true potential came in the#form of 'i finally know why i am not normal' instead of 'i will be my true self'. zane never pretended to not be weird#(instert book) states he literally didnt know why people got mad at him. he just existed and it was 'wrong'. the mask he hid behind was#avoidance. he was pretty open about how he actually was (most of the time). when he was upset he would audibly sigh and walk away lol#but for him saying he wasnt upset / saddened by the ninja... it felt like a moment of selflessness. if that makes sense. he blamed himself#for the monestary burning down. so he didnt deserve the apologies (ish) in the virtues of spinjitzu zane is shown as the generous one iirc#he puts the needs of others over his own. he will bear whatever burden he needs if others are happy. at that same time he doesnt allow
