We got daddy issues

Daddy issues

Chaos junkie

Mommy issues

More daddy issues

Obnoxious asshole issues

Then you… you seem kind of weirdly self-actualised

people will say religion oppresses women because they cannot comprehend a woman being liberated without being sexualized. They don’t understand the idea of a woman finding freedom outside of men’s desire for her, instead of leaning into it.

A woman veiling or wearing a hijab or mitpahat, or any kind of modesty, isn’t men oppressing her, it’s her finding value and freedom in God, not men. God sees the inherent value of her outside of what she can give to men.

Stop telling women they are oppressed by their religion.

You knew Pootie wouldn't like it. Yeah, of course I did. But you knew that too, right? You're always three steps ahead.

Unrelated (really, unrelated), but it's interesting that there is a conception that the Greek Gods (as in the Olympians and such) are considered the heritage of our current Western culture, when they never remained as static and "canonical" as most Greek mythology fans seem to believe. During the Hellenistic period, as Greek culture spread through Alexander's conquests and Greek colonizations the gods and their importance varied. It's really interesting that as big empires with multicultural populations (Hellenistic Egypt, the Romans) arose, there also arose "universal" gods, like Serapis and the spread of Hellenic philosophy. And then with the Romans who weren't exactly Hellenistic, but they continued these dynamics with the Interpretatio Graeca, mystery cults, the interaction with Zoroastrian beliefs. And of course, the rise of Christianity at the end of this period.

And I'm not saying this in the "the Romans were tolerant" sense, but as how religion evolved and adapted as empires spread.

Of course, I'm mostly talking in a religious sense here, as in people actually worshipping the gods. In the sense that they are "myths" and fables, that could be another way of looking at them, but that mostly, I think, dates from the interest on Grecorroman culture from the Renaissance onwards. The Middle Ages weren't as influenced by Hellenism.

Seward: Why on Earth are you laughing? After a funeral?

Van Helsing, monologuing: Ah, you don't comprehend, friend John. See, when King Laugh finds good corn--

Seward, sticking fingers in ears: Never mind-- forget it! I can't hear you! La la la la la!

Van Helsing is like that weird uncle that doesn't know how to tell a story without spending ten minutes walking around the point

What was garak like as castellan? (ps your art is 💞💕❤️❤️💕💞💕❤️💕💞💕)

OOHOHO GARAK AS CASTELLAN....

I think his time in the Federation has, despite his best efforts, affected his outlook on politics. He's a wary centrist now, as if Cardassia has the luxury of political discourse not related to basic sustenance.... trying to delicately excise the most distasteful parts of the prior totalitarian regime while still supporting the structures that keep people alive.

I don't think there's a way to be a well-liked leader after an annihilative disaster, honestly. Garak's not an exception. He's NOT a popular Castellan, but he WAS the least bad choice immediately on hand, and he's adept at securing badly needed aid from Federated interests. He can be very persuasive and diplomatic, and he circumvents or cuts through the bureaucratic and political obstacles that would've trapped less canny men. He's in power during the setting of the foundation of the Cardassian economic miracle and he stalwartly weathers years of vicious criticism and assassination attempts (that he easily evades). As soon as he retires his approval rating goes from like 15% to 80%. He's the Grandfather of Cardassia, their mercurial constant, their deviously bitchy figurehead who can hold his own against any rival leader. The wily old regnar who raised a generation of hungry utopian statesmen. A Castellan to be privately eviscerated and publicly saluted.

Mostly he's just trying to go home at some point during the night to quietly whisper 'good-night' to his kids and husband, though

Tw for gore and medical talk

So we (probably) know that Alastor died from a gunshot wound to the head, and that hunting dogs may or may not have been involved right?

But we don't know the details

See a lot of people assume that a bullet to the head = instant death but in fact we really only need certain parts of the brain to live. Those parts are mostly located at the lower back of the head, far away from the frontal lobe

So consider with me, Alastor is shot straight on in the forehead with a .22 hunting rifle, the bullet enters his head and either bounces around in his skull, turning his brain to paste

Or

It exits somewhere through the parietal bones or upper occipital, leaving him alive if rather scrambled. Intracranial pressure increasing as he bleeds into his brain.

Alastor then slowly loses consciousness on the forest floor as a pack of snarling hunting dogs closes in around him, sealing their bared teeth as his final memory

For added angst, he lives a while even after losing consciousness

He is brought to his mother, who holds his hand as he takes his last stuttering agonal breaths, completely oblivious to the fact that she's by his side

Profs Sallow et Sallow

So I... did something...

I asked ChatGPT to create an image of Mr. & Mrs. Sallow by extrapolating features based on images of their children (Seb & Anne) & dear old Uncle Solomon.

Hoooooooooooo boy! I love it.

Please Scream with me!!!

These are the pics I gave it

this is what it gave me for their Mom whom I will now and forever call Isla Aveline "Ava" Sallow nee Adair

then I asked for the dad but had to supplement with some AI images of Seb. These ones

and it gave me this gem… please ignore the line down the middle… Idk why it's there I tried to get rid of it but i'm no good at shopping and I just.... Mr. Sallow... whom will now forever be known as Gavriel "Arie" Abraham Sallow. Also, he probably goes "Bram" as another nickname... at least... in my head he does.

I am speechless!!!!

Bonus image!!!

Younger Solomon as ChatGPT thinks he probably looked
