#a lesson learned perhaps

They lost their cat to old age and little miss was distraught, so she gets a horse to cheer her up. Best daddy ever?

Meanwhile:

"Daddy where my horsey? Waaaahhhhh!" Little brother wants one too.

Daddy and uncle try to explain that he's too little to have a horse, but he has a counter argument!

"A pony then!"

And:

Little cousin is also feeling aggrieved, "How comes I no get horsey either?"

"Gimme a break! I'm your uncle, ask your own daddy to get you a horse kid!"

So it seems the consensus that within the fandom is that the existence of other lands (since Jalala’s introduction) suggests the possibility of there being more Sheepfolk elsewhere. Whether they are in other lands natively or seeking refuge is unclear in my mind but in the Lands of the Old Faith there seems to be a limited number of species that inhabit it (obvs this is due to the devs not being to put in Every Single Animal Ever), but in-verse I think it’s most likely due to the Lands of the Old Faith being cut off from the rest of the world (so says the Fanatic’s lore tablets).

If there are sheep elsewhere, I wonder if they have heard about the Lamb. Like, I wonder how fast news would travel from the Lands of the Old Faith to the outside continents—or if there is any news at all coming out. Plimbo actively trading at the port with outsiders suggests there would be an exchange of not only goods, but information. How muddied up this information is probably varies! What sort of rumors does the outside world hear…but anyways.

I wonder what the Outside Sheepfolk would think of the Lamb and what they’ve become. I headcanon them as largely pacifist semi-nomads / pastoralists, with the exception of Guardian societal roles (Sheep who are both physically strong but shrewd in civil affairs), so unnecessary violence is both vulgar and (religiously) discouraged. Would the Lamb too wonder how they would be viewed by outside Sheepfolk if they ever discovered they existed? Would they accept the Lamb into their communities after all they’ve heard? Would the Lamb, yet again, be alienated in this world? much 2 think about

One of the classes I'm taking is History of Early Civilization and I'm really looking forward to week four when our schedule says we'll be covering Mesopotamia and Judaism. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it will be good 😭

The funny thing is that we're also covering early xtianity and the schedule mentions that we'll need a copy of the Bible. Of which I don't have. So I'll have to use an online alternative. I used to have a copy, but as you can tell, I don't read it and don't particularly want to keep it

I'm really hoping I can get some work done today but the mouse in the wheel that powers my brain is not up and running so I think I may have to go for a walk, given that it's already 2:30pm this does not bode well for said work getting done but I'd rather take a nice walk and feel alert at least a little bit than sit at my desk for several hours feeling the slow dark slide down into the abyss while still not getting any work done and also probably developing a gnaaarly headache. Doesn't help that I'm kinda stuck for what to work on, cause I want to do this illustration project but it's Kicking my Ass still and I realized last night, while mopping about my seeming inability to build an audience, that hey, maybe if I try being more Vocal and Engaging with my Projects by say like.... Actually describing them and telling people details about them. I might attract a bit more attention? So now I kinda want to make some short kinda introduction thing for Dragon's Daughter but also I'm in like a Huge Stress-induced Depression Mud Pit and the thought of making promotional materials feels silly and pointless and like Who Cares? No One Is Interested, Has Ever Been Interested Or Will Become Interested so like.... Don't Bother? And that's Not True but like even if that Was true I should probably try anyway, even if just a little bit... It may have some affect like, who knows? So I think I should go for a walk to shake this stinkin thinkin out the ol' bitinkin by which I mean Brain. My tags got cut off so I'm adding them to the post instead

So maybe making a little introductory graphic will help Dragon's Daughter pick up some steam, maybe it'll drum up some interest and excitement and make people want to know about it and engage with it and be excited for it to come out, maybe it'll make people want to keep tabs on it or ask questions. Or maybe it won't. And my funny little slide show will settle gently like any other unique but functionally identical snowflake on the top of the pile. Unnoticed but as part of the larger whole of Art Posted On The Internet. Only really one way to find out. Though that doesn't make it feel any less silly and pointless to do anyways.. Just have to swallow that and try anyway.

my favorite aspect of trey & romana iii whom i portray is how genuinely cold she is underneath her otherwise very warm & charming exterior

when the unvossi ambassador reminds romana ii of the flowers he left her & says to leave them in her office for they will bloom for one hundred years & she'll have something to remember him by, she obliges, more specifically because it is her failure to adjust gallifrey's transduction barriers that result in his death (he isn't real, of course, but she doesn't know that at the time). romana iii pointedly tells narvin to get rid of those flowers the second that office becomes her own

her second incarnation is an inverse of her third, with a very cold, calculated & potentially ruthless exterior whose emotional core is quite untreated, she dares not show anybody how she feels for fear that it may be used against her, as it was on etra prime, as it is on gallifrey, she is always guarding herself. with leela & narvin being the very few exceptions to the rule. romana iii is more honest with her feelings, more open to embrace the people she cares for, the people she considers friends, but it's a manufactured sense of closeness & understanding to be used against them whenever it suits her

she is a product of gallifrey, born neither out of recklessness or vanity but as a concession to the high council, of a promise to regenerate should she be elected president when her second self couldn't any longer. someone suited to lead gallifrey into a golden age of progress, apt at playing the time lords at their own game where her prior self struggled to hold onto power

"Setting your daily usage limit higher is cheating" well did you consider I miss the people in my phone

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

The thing that sucks about knowing the context for a popular ship redraw meme or incorrect quote is watching people be so so incorrect about it and just having to sit there, gripping your thigh, reminding yourself of your values

My personal problem is the quote from "Everything Everywhere All At Once": "In another life I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"

Because every day EVERY DAY even with ships I love, I watch people use it as a "Oh my god isn't it so tragic that these two characters are forced to suffer the horrors or to be ripped apart when in their heart of hearts they want to be living domestically and doing laundry and taxes?"

And I have to sit there and think "No no you don't get it! That line wasn't the tragedy of the characters not having a better life where they can just be together. It's a different kind of tragedy! The main character didn't like her normal Chinese immigrant life of running a laundromat and dealing with taxes and her family in the USA. Once she learned about all of these different worlds, she began to feel even more like her current life was one that she didn't want. In fact, this life where the guy said that popular line was one where she chose not to go to the USA with him to build a life and love together and became a famous actress instead. She has been thinking about how her husband truly held her down and stifled her life. How if she hadn’t chosen him she wouldn't have had to deal with him and her life would be better and more exciting. And so she's talking to this alternate version of her husband who never became her husband, and she starts making a case for why this is the best outcome. After all, who would want to live in a laundromat and do taxes when she can be a movie star and have anyone she wants? And this is when he tells her that that life that she rejects, that she feels is lowly and one that no one would want, is something that he wants. He doesn't care that she's a famous actress now, he would have loved to just live a simple life with her, even if it was hard and taxing. And this moment in the movie is so so many things (things I'm not even doing justice to here), but it is also a major moment that highlights the disparity in these two characters (even if one isn't her og husband) and their desires.

The main character feels trapped in her life and that she never lived up to her potential. Her husband truly would want to be with her simply because of the bits where it isn't exciting. Even if they're poor and suffer hardship and do things considered simple and lowly, he would still like that life with her.

So yes every time I see this meme my brain screams "get out of here with your blorbos in an au who tragically can't live normally and domestically. Bring in your blorbos who love(d) each other and are messy and are on the verge of divorce and want different things in life, who have to make a choice in what to do about it. Give me your "person who feels trapped in this small life and wanted bigger and better things who lowkey resents the other who is just supporting them" x "person who understands this life isn't always easy or glamorous but is glad that they get to do it every day with this person, who would choose a life of love with them no matter what"

it took me 200 years but I finally understand why there are no new Electro Visions given out...

[littlewitchbee]

okay so I restarted my first bg3 character because I feel like I missed a lot of stuff on my first go around and I just... I love Gale so much 🥲

[cogentranting]

One interesting thing in Timeless is that at different points all the main characters (or at least the trio and Flynn. I don't know about Jiya precisely) have as their driving motivation this idea of doing absolutely anything to protect/save someone they love. And they range in how far they go with that, but they all at least push boundaries. And in every case the show takes this sympathetic but firm stance of saying no, that's not it. The impulse is good. It is good that you love so fiercely and want to protect this person. But it can't be at all costs. And it shows the harm done when that love is allowed to justify crossing lines and disregarding others.

Instead that impulse gets channeled rightly into courage, and acceptance, and giving of yourseld sacrifically.
