Hi Tumblr. New video dropped. It's an important one, but ya boy had to talk his shit and nearly cry on camera like three times.

Not my first rodeo, if you were around in 2016, you already know how I get down. But there are a lot of new faces around since then and I would feel fraudulent if I didn't speak from the the heart on recent events and how it will impact all corners of our community.

I know it's painful and scary. To have a path to progress laid for you only to be kicked off a regressive cliff fueled by petulant fools clinging to their false ideal of normality. Of morality. I can only imagine the terror. The families betraying your best interests because eggs and gas cost too much, all for vague promises of solutions and potentially disastrous policies. Unsure if your neighbors and colleagues think you're subhuman.

Fuck that.

Our leadership has failed us. If they lack the wit and intellect to undo the fools stood across from us, they need to get out of the way. We cannot have our whole democracy undone by grifters and juvenile men whose sole purpose is to seek glory in the eyes of boys.

Anyway. I'm pissed, tired, and getting back to work.

Here is your Big Fat Hero- Cailtyn 'defender' post

I somehow get that you think Caitlyn went too far, but so did the fandom. A lot of you talk about her as a 'dictator' and compare her use of The Grey to make her sound like Hitler, it seems people forget that she purposely used it only on her targets, not on civilians or all of Zaun. In fact, she even did a bit of a favor for Zaunites in the long term.

So let’s start analyzing the important aspects in a somewhat objective way. (Don’t mind my profile picture—I promise I'll try to be objective… or maybe not, who knows?)

EVEN after her mother died, Caitlyn still tried to protect the innocent in Zaun and tried to convincing the council not to start an invasion.

She even disagreed with Vi’s opinion on using the gauntlet (Hextech as a weapon), which we saw when she discussed it with Jayce.

This was her last scene before the attack on the memorial.

After that, we can clearly see how much it affected her; it fueled her anger (Good job, Ambessa—a true politician! No wonder Mel learned from her - except she is using it for better reasons). Yet, her anger wasn’t directed at civilians or all of Zaun.

Even then, she managed to call off the invasion, which she didn’t support in the first place. And after the attack, Vi talked her down in just two minutes—a point that hasn’t gotten enough credit, especially since it was her mother’s memorial.

This scene is also telling: there’s a storm brewing inside her, and while she wants to do the right thing, like protecting innocents from war, events escalate too quickly for her to reason through them and find a solution alone. Vi staying as her only remaining pillar in all this madness.

But yeah, her anger hasn’t faded just jet, but with Vi, they found an alternative—morally gray, but still better than risking a massacre between Zaun and Piltover.

And this is what they did. In the clip at the beginning of Episode 3, we see that they targeted ONLY gang members, not civilians in Zaun. I need to mention this a few times because there's already a misconception that Caitlyn and Vi are targeting or harming civilians.

But if you look at every frame, you’ll only see them going after gang members responsible for suffering and exploitation—Margot's and Chross's gangs, for example.

Oh, and let’s not forget, these were the people Isha was running from in the first place. A children!

So, Overall, this is just a continuation of what Vi tried to do in Season 1, but now with Caitlyn instead of Jayce (or alone).

So why does Caitlyn get all the blame?

As I see it, these actions were not hers alone; Vi was part of it too. In fact, this was Vi’s original plan (except the Jinx part, of course).

So, the point of my post is this: Yes, Caitlyn is heading in a bad direction, and killing—even gang members— with gas isn’t a good thing. But at this point, she and Vi haven’t harmed innocents. Despite how it looks, at least these actions prevent more innocent children, like Isha, from being harmed. Another question is where things will go now that Caitlyn has pushed Vi away (which I think was her only truly wrong action in Act 1).

Now Ambessa has taken Vi's place (in meaning of influence, not in any other way you little pervert) , and rather than calming her, Ambessa will fuel Caitlyn’s anger, grief, and self-hatred even more.

Oh my god, I love this scene. You can see the micro-expression on Ambessa's face, how satisfied she is, knowing how good she’s pulling the strings so far.

But I think we all feel that this match is far from over.

I also leave this here:

In the end, though, I believe that Caitlyn, no matter who’s currently influencing her, will have to decide her own path and who she truly is—without relying on anyone else. Even if we love her with Vi, this is something she needs to figure out ALONE.

Anyway, I might have written more in detail if Tumblr didn’t have a 10-image/post limit. Maybe I’ll make another post about the things I left out or would have expanded on.

If you had the Power of Editorial for one decision in the DC writers room and one decision only, what would you push?

gnome my friend i have to imagine you would not have asked if you were not prepared for the possibility of a very long answer!!

ok look look look so before i answer this you have to understand that jokes are one of the most important things to me in the world, especially jokes that are also something true and genuine and meaningful because those things are not mutually exclusive and often when put together can make something extraordinary. like the barbie movie you understand

the short answer: make Connor Hawke aromantic so a Green Arrow can be a Green Aro

the long answer!! i've talked a bit about my feelings regarding aro/ace representation in media and especially fanfiction before, so i'll try to keep this brief, but the thing i want to bring up here is that there is not a lot of aro/ace rep that can be explicitly confirmed within the media the characters are from. maybe it wouldn't be in character, or they don't have the word aromantic in the setting and let's be real a character saying they don't want to date is unfortunately still going to be regarded as being only aromantic coded, if that. Connor is already explicitly asexual, so (quick disclaimer that i haven't read a lot of his more recent stuff) it's already believable that he both 1. knows the term aromantic, and 2. would use that as a word to describe himself if he was.

moving on, Green Aro is probably one of the best missed out puns of all time i'm literally foaming at the mouth thinking about it, but it's also a pun that is genuinely meaningful. first of all, the aro/arrow wordplay isn't new, and the joke is a reference to and acknowledgement of aromantic community and history.

second, in terms of character relevance, i'll start with showing you something I found funny: last year for pride month, dc universe infinite (the terrible official dc comic reading platform) did a little pride round up. Connor was in there! i ended up taking this screenshot and sending it to my friends because the text cut off is hilarious:

like haha yeah celebrate dc pride. this guys got daddy issues. but for real, he has daddy issues!! he was getting bullied and getting into fights and the brilliant solution that he ended up going with to resolve all that was to go to a MONASTARY for the reason of HIS DAD WENT THERE. like my guy became a whole entire monk because his daddy issues were so bad. anyways, he continues to deal with his daddy issues by taking up the green arrow mantle after ollie dies the first time. and we all know about chuck dixon's habit of writing characters with such an insane agenda that he ends up unintentionally making them undeniably queer, connor is such a massive offender that he gets asked if he's gay genuinely so many times. like actually so many times. eventually i plan to make a full list of exactly how many times and also rank them because that would be funny for me, but its so many times.

anyways, he gets asked if he's gay because of his disinterest in women, which is a trait that im pretty sure multiple characters including connor himself bring up with regards to how that makes him different from his father. oliver queen is, or at least has been, canonically a womanizer. he slept around enough before he became ga that he didn't recognize connors mom when she told him he was pregnant, and he cheated on dinah which is crazy why would anyone cheat on dinah, and his relationship with dinah is such a long running and significant relationship in dc history. he is undeniably both romantic and sexual, while connor has brief relationship with a ghost which is. look that's just so aroace to me i dont know what to tell you. (im ignoring shado on purpose thats a whole other conversation)

being aromantic often means feeling pressure in some kind of way to find or want a romantic relationship. a lot of the time this pressure will come from family or friends telling you to find a relationship or being in relationships themselves. The entire world at large often puts pressure on people to have this great and grand and sweeping love story, whether people are inspired by fictional stories or real life examples. for connor, looking up to his father with his grand and sweeping love story, i mean like. to me this sounds like an amazing pressure pot for comphet.

so, to me, the green aro joke has a deeper and more specific meaning for connors character: it's about how he wants to emulate his father, and it's about how he's different from his father. It's about how there aren't a lot of examples of happy aromantic endings, and it's about the struggle to forge our own happy endings without those examples, and it's about how even though it might be difficult to find them, happy aromantic endings exist. and it's also a joke that makes me laugh.

anyways, thanks for reading all that!! and thank you for giving me the excuse to ramble about my guy!!! :DDD

Rambling about the twst novel

I'm most likely going to be all over the place with my thoughts, to make you aware.

I enjoyed the novel, I see why people like Yuya. At first, I was annoying at him not standing up for himself, not saying he should have fought, just defend himself. However, after reading how he purposely avoided people to not face conflict, my annoyance instantly vanished and understood he doesn't hate conflict, he's terrified by it.

I believe wholeheartedly he has trauma related to fighting in any form, and while continuing towards the novel, I was purposely looking for any sentence to support that theory. His reaction to seeing a fight is a possible trauma response, and as he talks about his past, it's most likely he doesn't remember what caused his hidden trauma and just writes it off as just disliking it.

I see why this Yuu was chosen to be the novel Yuu because of how the school works, a school filled with arrogant and hot headed students vs a student avoiding fights at cost. These students will teach Yuya you can't avoid conflict forever, you will eventually have to face it and reaction to it without cowering or running away. And Yuya will teach the students to solve problems without flying off the handle and think about a solution in a less violent way.

I love Ace apologizing to Yuya for being a jerk and explaining why he acted the way he did which fair. You busted your ass into a school that's almost impossible to enter, and suddenly a magicless human gets in without issue. And another I loved, he understood Yuya's anxious towards fighting and told Yuya to not push himself for Ace's benefit.

The ghosts' participation in the story, explaining what Yuya needs to know and helping the duo by cleaning the school with them or getting the Heartshackle food, watching Yuya and Grim build a friendship with the ghosts.

I like the changes to the storyline (Ace wanting a snack instead of missing dinner, talking to Trey outside instead of the library), and how it flows. You follow behind Yuya's day to day and him learning about the world he found himself in.

Riddle, the boy will pop a blood vein at any damn minute from how pissed he gets. His aggression towards Yuya in the Mirror Chamber, like boy, calm down. And Crowley, you must you gas Yuya up as this outstanding mage, like calm down as well. He's not wrong because Yuya is most likely going to save everyone in the end, but don't tell everyone that right out the gate.

Not going to lie, when Trey told the group about what Riddle's favorite color, I think it was going to say "I don't know" or "I have to ask my mother." But "my mother told I should like green for it's good for my eye sight," made it worse.

Describing the overblot I enjoyed, the blot dripping down and transforming whatever it touched, and the phantom emerging from the overbloter's back.

The sentence on the phantom lifting Riddle up, describing it as lifting up a newborn baby was funny.

Riddle's past made me get more angry with his mother, just give the boy a normal childhood. I believe the education and diet was correct in his mother's actions, but she failed when came to his emotional growth and mental health/maturity.

Children need strictness and freedom. Children need structure and boundaries, but also need space to grow on their own and figure out who they want to be. She didn't even let him have his own favorite color!?!? He's a human being! He's his own person! He's not a cookie cutter! He's not a littler size of his mother!

I honestly want Riddle and his mother to have a healthy relationship. I want him to stand up to her and tell her what she did wrong and have her reflect on her actions and learn to be better moving forward. Riddle's still young, there's plenty of time for her to realize the pain she caused and become better.

But if she can't, I want Riddle to be brave enough to cut content with her because that's a serious risk. When Riddle has a kid, there's a chance his mother will become a great grandmother, maybe doing things she didn't do with Riddle.

However, there's also the chance she will push the same childhood Riddle had onto his kid. She may demand her son to follow in her parenting style, pushing him to harm his kid like she did to him, or even ignoring his authority of a parent and trying to force him to give the kid to her became he doesn't know to raise a child properly.

From how controlling she is, getting immediately angry at her son for making a single request instead of calmly telling him no. Like, is she offended he has his own desires?

"I never asked about the strawberry tart again" and "I learned if I break a rule, even fun will be taken away." Those lines broke my heart. A child shouldn't be scared to ask for something, to have their desires forced to never be expressed.

And yeah, Riddle left the house which could have been dangerous, so he needs a punishment, but the tiny hope of a normal childhood, normalcy, shouldn't have been taken away from him and taught his desires for normalcy was something bad.

It hurts to see how trapped he was, to never be allowed to be his own person, to decide what he wants and what he believes is right.

During the past part, I was remembering the phase, "strict parents make rebellious children." Riddle always followed his mother's demands and never stepped out of line, however, he did rebel against her. He stepped out of that window willingly and did it more than once. He wanted a strawberry tart and he did get it, by going behind her back.

Yeah, he never rebelled against her again, but he still did it which proves the phrase correct.

I love the novel, the difference it had between itself and the game, the slow growth of the characters, the in-depth explanations on Riddle's past. I'm enjoyed i chose the novel, I couldn't stop reading until I finally reached the ed.

Obscure Character Showdown FINALE

[image ID: the first image is of image is of No Significant Harassment, a shadowy figure standing behind a sleeping pink-red, fox-like creature. their green hands seem to be holding up the floating creature. the second image is of Granger, a girl with green eyes and short, wavy or curly black hair. in her hair is a red hat or ribbon. she's wearing a black turtleneck sweater, blue overalls, and a green coat. end ID]

No Significant Harassment

[NSH has beaten Akama (The Idiot (1951)), Libby Day (Dark Places), Sally Swing (Betty Boop), Shrimp (The Upturned), Oopsy Bear (Care Bears (2007 series)), Hikaru (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu), and Diggory Graves (Hello from the Hallowoods)] They're just a silly little guy. A jokester. Significant harassment if you will. Anyway, a more in depth run down: They're a city sized supercomputer built by a Buddhist adjacent society to figure out how to transcend the 'Great Cycle' (semi-metaphorical cycle of death and rebirth) in a safer way than the previous method (submerging oneself in the 'void sea' which is a mysterious golden liquid that dissolves whatever it touches). Despite being built for this express purpose NSH never really shows a pressing interest in ascension, even cracking jokes about those who are still looking for a solution. Whether this is due to indifference, dislike of, or humor to cope with being unable to ascend is not clear and really up to interpretation. Example: NSH: I wish them super good luck in that endeavor. How is it going to happen? Have the overseers gnaw through bedrock until their entire can crashes down in the void sea? BSM: Please be respectful when speaking of the Void Sea. Grey Wind, where did you hear this? CW: I really shouldn't say. He's going to attempt some sort of breeding program. Thought you might want to know. NSH: Haha with the slimers, lizards and etceteras? Surely the answer was in a lizard skull all along! He's very flippant, but does care very intensely for those close to him. NSH: Moon? It's me again. NSH: I do not know if you are receiving these. Please signal in any way you can. NSH: I need to talk to you. I need to know you're okay. NSH: … NSH: Its difficult for us to assist you over this distance. NSH: Even more difficult for us to do anything in the midst of these tantrums. NSH: Were going to try everything that we can. NSH: Just hold on a little longer. (Context for previous convo: They genetically engineered a super organism of a slugcat (the species you play as in Rain World) to help reset his coworker/sibling after her collapse and restart her systems. He was so desperate to fix her that he accidentally messed up the slugcat's (Hunter) genetic code and as a result it became riddle with the Rot (relatively similar to aggressive cancer) :( which parallels his other coworker/siblings condition who also has the rot. ) He canonically uses he/they pronouns too! Nonbinary swag! NSH has major internet troll vibes. He has sent a data pearl of "something distasteful" to his neighbors on several(?) occasions and causes chaos. If he had access to the wider internet he'd probably be an influencer So…yeah! Vote NSH this website likes the allure of heavy machinery and stuff like that so… there you go. Kind of a blorbo. End post.

Granger

[Granger has beaten Chopfyt (Oz), Wolfman (Darkwood), Gaap Goemon (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), Forest Friend (Gris), Turnip (Chicory: A Colorful Tale), Gary (Faith the Unholy Trinity), and Stag Malinay (Krystar First Fragment)] so granger is the main character of the indie game "NeverHome" Chapter one, which is only $1 on Steam, is called NeverHome: Hall of Apathy. if ur a fan of young protags being put in RPG maker horror games, then this is the game for you!! so granger is just that… she wakes up to find herself in a strange, hostile world. she, along with the friends she makes, must solve the various puzzles before them while creatures are out to kill them… and along the way they can uncover the secrets of these never ending halls… her dynamics with the cast is also super fun… each character gets their moment or moments with granger. and what's so cute is that there's unique art for each pair that highlights the fact you cant get through these halls alone!! she also has her own theme song!! here!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vwtmIj5cw it's called cyclical tragedy AND HERE IS AN ANALYSIS OF THE THEME!! MUSIC THEORY!!! written by my good friend @HIEMIOLA "cyclical tragedy" embodies the protagonist, granger, through the music theory behind the track and ties itself back into the main track as well. to begin with an overview of the track, the key is D minor and hte time signature is 3/4. the piece begins with a broken minor third starting from the tonic. that is, it begins on the main note and moves along the main chord, D to F. the next set of notes are C to E, which is shifted down a step. the phrase repeats again, this time D to F, then G to E, which is an inverse movement from the original sequence. even in this first part, we could tell that the protagonist begins from square 1 with a simple pattern, then tries it again when it works. however, the inverse breaks that expectation of repetition, thus showing the diverse variations of solutions she comes up with using just the tools she has (the two notes moving in thirds). just like the game, she is given a handful of objects as well as a knife to defend herself and solve the mysteries of the world she exists in. with her creative uses of the items given to her, she continues on her way through the plot. we will keep moving. the melody begins. true to the title of the track, the melody cycles around the same beginning note, D, that she always returns to at her square 1. this is a nod to the save states she is allowed to keep to make sure that we the players don't lose the game, but it also references the health bar that appears as a circle around her avatar. the melody, mapped out, is also moving in an up-down wave movement across the sheet music. granger is creative with the knife she has and the quest items she obtains throughout the story, but she is not entirely reckless. rather, she knows when it is time to return to the safe rooms to rest. to time her returns requires skill because she must run to cover without being caught by varying her path so the enemies don't corner her as she tries to return to the room. most of the time, she is successful, shown through the consistent return to the beginning note. let's keep going. i would like to turn your attention to the main theme briefly. in the bass notes, you can hear arpeggios and outlined chords. this makes up the bulk of the accompaniment in the main game theme. [mod note: the rest of the essay, and some more propaganda, is continued under a cut because tumblr will not process more text than this in an indent. sorry to split it up, please continue below for the rest of the essay and additional propaganda (including art) !]

the third variation of granger's theme also has arpeggiated chords in the accompaniment while the melody features broken chords. at this stage, the pattern switches to eigth notes instead of the quarter notes at first. with greater movement and heightened senses, she runs throughout world and befriends other people, thus interacting further with the environment. while she isn't exactly someone we would call open, she is respectful to the people she first meets and has no problems with asking them for help when she needs it. because of her openness to working together, she speeds up her progress by asking for aid at obstacles that would be too difficult for her to overcome on her own, such as asking a teammate to break things, move things, or reach into smaller holes. fusing the main theme elements with her own theme marks this step as the inciting incident that sets her on the path to escape from this world. we'll continue.

continuing the same part, we hear some secondary fifths. i'm not entirely sure if this is what you call it, but it is a nod to the parallel key, D major. depending on what theory class you take, this could also be considered the other half of the key. i dont know how else to describe it, but i digress. these are glimpses to different dialogue options she could take, glimpses to a different key or a different ending. because this game only has one chapter ending so far, we are unsure of what other paths granger will end up in; we only know that there are certainly other endings she will experience, only to begin the cycle again when the save state is loaded for players to reach another ending. both A major and G major are chords that signify different choices that may lead her elsewhere only for her to return back to the tonic or main note, D. despite this, she keeps going, as will we.

at the midpoint of the track, we see a quick shift in patterns. instead of upward leaps in the notes, the melody falls in stepwise motion. true to the plot, this is another turning point of the game when she is forced to make a choice: continue or stop. after facing the spoiler event, her once determined personality is challenged as she struggles to keep herself and her team together. despite being the headstrong protagonist who spearheaded solutions, even now she finds herself doubting and taking smaller steps, smaller risks.

even after all of this, she rises to the challenge as the melody returns to its beginning sequence. true to a protagonist she gets up again despite the events that transpired and keeps her team moving in their lowest points. the thirds return as she finds more objects to solve more puzzles to open more rooms to save more friends. this repeating part of the track only solidifies her resolve as the piece ends with a broken chord in the main key, her key, of D minor. despite everything that transpired, she stayed true to herself."

the game is also so, so charming with the art, music, and story made by the same person… its so clearly loved and full of passion!! i love listening to the game's ost on occassion!! since it's all on youtube!

ok one last thing thing!! on may 8th, the game hit 100 downloads (on both steam and itch.io). you can see the creator of the game celebrate that with this lovely drawing of granger: https://twitter.com/NeverHome_Game/status/1655761270694633472

so at most, only a bit over 100 people have played the game… id like to say that makes it obscure!!

anyways granger and neverhome!! we love to see our protagonists put in horrific situations and isn't she super cute with a lil bow on her head? she is my daughter…

Control your boyfriend, Morales!

Stealth mission!

Miguel whispers through intercom: Alright, I need everyone to be quiet! This anomaly is very dangerous when it wakes up! -every Spider-hero being extra quiet- So we need to use this chance to capture it.

Gwen whispers: Got it.

Pavtri nodded: yes, sir.

Peter, Jess and Ben quiet voice: Right.

Miles low soft voice: Ok.

The group slowly crept close to the anomaly monster sleeping in an abandon building. Ben almost tripped until Jess caught him. They all sigh with relief when Miguel got close to slowly put the net around. All sweating bullets until they can sigh in relief-

BOOM!

Spider-punk comes into the scene blasting off music!: OI! WHATS TAKING SO LONG! I THOUGH YA'LL WERE DEAD!

The anomaly woke up with red eyes being super pissed off. Miles quickly went over to his boyfriend with a whisper tone: Bae! Shhh, be quiet!

Hobie shouting: HUH! WHAT? LUV, I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I'M PLAYING THIS SWEET RIFT! WHAT'S WRONG!

Miles waves his arms in panic as he quickly tries to hush his boyfriend: Hobie, shh! The monster... it doesn't like-

Hobie spotted the anomaly: THERE IT IS! Come on, luv. Let's go get it! Oh, look- -he bumps into some abandon metal can, probably a homeless person used it for fire, and it made loud crashing sound- OPPS SORRY GUYS!

Gwen and Pavtri groans at their punker friend. Miguel glares at him, then saw the anomaly quickly went to attack him: AH! CONTROL YOUR BOYFRIEND, MORALES! -he shouted in anger-

The anomaly was able to multiple into mini versions and attack with its electric body! Ben: Ohh, so that's why we can't wake them up!

Hobie looks at the monsters running around: Oh, sooo dats why.... -he grins under his mask-

Miles shook his head with one hand on his head being slightly annoyed: Bae... -then noticed the little monsters jumping around using their electric bodies to stunned some of the Spider-gang- I told you-

Hobie chuckles being the devious type, he put one arm around his Sunflower's shoulders: It's Anarchy, luv! Nothing should ever be easy for Spider-heroes.

Miles frowns under his mask: You did that on purpose!

Hobie: Dats for leaving me out of the mission! -he chuckles at Miguel trying to round them up!- Pure chaos! I love it!

Miles sighs: Bae, what if this thing releases poisonous gas and I caught wind of it and die!

Hobie hums: But it didn't and I would've taken you out of here before you even know it! -One of the mini monsters came by the punker and bite him having to use it's electric shock- OW! -it felt like painful pinches and zaps-

Miles: That's what you get! -crossing his arms at his boyfriend's pettiness and karma-

Hobie frowns under his mask: SUNFLOWER!

The lil electric monster hissed at him before jumping over to Miles, with one big hop landing in his arms. Miles without a thought caught the anomaly and saw the electric shock didn't work on him. Miles: Oh! It doesn't hurt me! hah, they're kinda cute. -seeing how the little anomaly didn't feel threaten, it nap into Miles arms. He pet it seeing how soft and the electric sparks wraps around his hands as he absorb it.- Huh, looks like we found a solution to this...

Hobie whines: Sunflower! I'm in pain!

Miles saw the mini monsters going over his punker to zap him. It seems they were mad at him for waking them up. Miles hums: Karma is a bitch, bae...

Hobie quickly tries to get away: LUV! -he whines-

Miles: Remember, pure Anarchy! You gotta love it.

Hobie: Your so cruel, Sunflower!

"The Antidote Is Ethanol" …or more specifically, it is "Beer; The Goddam Staff Of Life"...

As promised, here’s a more thorough discussion on the symbolism around ethanol. This is an updated version of this post, and I first wrote about ethanol after FTWD 4x16 aired back in 2019, read that post here.

In TOWL 1x4 "What We", we saw Rick and Michonne escape in a yellow car loaded with ethanol. I knew the symbolism was the same that had been explored back in season 4 of FTWD, and I knew the ethanol in the back of Richonne's car represented a sort of "cure" or "resolution", it represented a way to restore and rebuild society.

In FTWD 4x16 "I Lose Myself", we saw Martha, the villain of the season, try to kill Morgan and company by poisoning their water with antifreeze:

Antifreeze will in some cases contain methanol, and the antidote to methanol poisoning is simply "ethanol", which, according to Morgan Jones, is just a fancy word for alcohol:

I’ve always said that the spin-offs of TWDU provide an excellent insight into how the symbolism is meant to be interpreted, because where symbolism can be intentionally vague and ambiguous on the main show, the spin-offs function as literal blueprints on how to interpret it. And basically the entire back half of season 4 of FTWD was all about ethanol, or more specifically, beer…

I feel pretty certain that "beer" was the single most uttered word of the entire season…

You get the picture. Season 4B of FTWD was the Season of the Beer! The entire back half revolved around the many excellent properties of beer. And after some time, we started to see what TPTB were trying to communicate with all these beer references. It became clear that they were using it as a metaphor for restoring and rebuilding society:

Basically, beer is the...

There you go. It's the goddam staff of life!

It's a diet staple! A prerequisite for living.

It represents life and the living. And it is resurrection symbolism.

In short, the season was all about Morgan and company deciding their purpose in life was to help others. The villain of the season, Martha, did not agree with this approach. She believed helping others made them week, and her solution was to kill everyone so they could be strong in death rather than weak in life. These are themes we see everywhere in TWDU, strong versus weak, life versus death. Martha represented death, and everything she said and did was associated with death and dying.

When she poisoned their water with antifreeze containing methanol, that in itself was a reference to a scene from TWD 4x4 Indifference, where we saw Bob and Daryl come across some walkers in a gas station. They had comitted suicide by drinking antifreeze, so "antifreeze" and "methanol" was already established as symbolism representing death all the way back in TWD season 4, which incidently is the season when Beth had her very first "ethanol" drink ever...

In fact, I dare say the entire storyline of Beth suddenly craving alcohol (ethanol) for the first time ever was specifically written to provide a counter point to the death symbolism around the antifreeze/methanol introduced in 4x4 Indifference. And that's why they had her reference the side-effects of bad moonshine (containing methanol) in 4x12 Still, such as blindness (and death). Her newfound enthusiasm over alcohol (ethanol) was meant as a contrast to the death symbolism around antifreeze/methanol from 4x4.

Because, the opposite/antidote to all of Martha's death and destruction, was "ethanol".

And for TD, this is massively interesting, because we all vividly remember this scene from 4x12 Still:

What Beth is referring to here, is that moonshine can contain methanol when it's not produced under optimally controlled circumstances, and it can certainly make you go blind (a well known side effect of methanol poisoning), that is if it doesn't kill you first. And much like bad moonshine, antifreeze sometimes contains methanol.

Methanol represents death, but the antidote is ethanol, which obviously represents life. Beth referenced the methanol/antifreeze/death symbolism, before she drank the literal antidote, ethanol/alcohol. That's some solid resurrection symbolism if you ask me. Beth knew what was good for her. She needed a drink, a real drink, one with ethanol, and she went out and got it. Girl knows how to stay alive!

We've seen how beer represents resurrection before, such as in TWD 2x4 Cherokee Rose. The Cherokee Rose is a resurrection symbol, and in 2x4 Daryl paired it with an empty beer bottle, meant to give Carol hope and strenght. However, the resurrection symbolism of it didn't apply to Sophia, it was reserved for a different "lost" girl, which I discussed in more detail here.

We also saw it in FTWD 4x13 Blackjack, when Luciana meets the badly injured trucker Polar Bear. His last dying wish is a cold beer, and Luciana manages to find him one. As a token of gratitude, he gifts her his notebooks, in which he has details on where he has left ample supplies along the roads, supplies that will help countless people survive. After he is dead, Luciana buries him and places a beer bottle on his grave.

The beer bottle is in this case synonomous with the cross (representing resurrection) that are typically used on grave markers. The beer bottle on Polar Bear's grave is also synonomous with the Cherokee Rose Daryl placed on Carol's empty grave back in season 3, also outlined in the post I linked to above.

So yeah! The ethanol in Rick and Michonne's yellow truck comes with a rich context in TWDU, and it most certainly represents "the antidote", or a "cure" if you will.

Cheers!

(Side note: The symbolism around "beer" is also closely linked to Beth through the North Star/Polaris/Compass/navigation theme, and by extension the “bear” symbolism (through Ursa Major and Ursa Minor/Great Bear and Little Bear) which I have discussed in many posts through the years, such as here, here, here and here)

[goatsludge]

The "FDE A2" Project taught me a lot about what I wanted to get out of a "General Purpose" AR, so in my usual fashion, I've once again started another upper build -

Everything so far:

BCM M4 Flat Top 'DEMO' Upper

JSE Surplus Teardrop FA

Magpul Enhanced Ejection Port Cover

Badger Creek Ordnance Gen.3 Ambi Charging Handle, Tan

Centurion Midlength 14.5" CHF/CL Lightweight Profile Barrel w/ Tabbed/Pinned Gas Block

Forward Controls Design 3P15 Flash Hider w/ Thread Protector

Geissele Mk8 Super Modular Rail, 13.5", DDC

SIG Romeo5 w/ Scalarworks 1.93" LEAP/01 Mount (belongs to @bureau-of-mines, borrowing it for a quick pic cause I think it looks better on this build than my EOTech)

EvolutionGear IS-EG NGAL

Surefire M640DF Scout Pro w/ Z-Bolt Dual Function Tailcap, Tan (will likely change this to an M640V later)

Somogear Knock-off Modbutton Lite Switches

Magpul Wire Control Kit, FDE

Edgar Sherman Designs Sling (AOR-1) w/ BCM 1" QD Swivel

The philosophy is that this build won't be as optimized for night vision/suppressor use as the 11.5", but it's set up to readily accommodate it. I want a rifle that pushes out a little further day or night but remains light and maneuverable.

Basically a walmart great value URG-I.

Since I now have the rail estate for it, I moved my light to the inboard side of the gun - this allows more of the beam to shine straight ahead of me and plus I can now access the clicky button on the tailcap with my thumb without having to rotate the entire gun out of aim.

Why have the modbutton if I can reach the tailcap now? Redundancies, my child; should the somo modbutton ever go bad, I have a backup solution. Same reason the laser has a fire button on top, but I'm using a modbutton with that as well.

On top of all this, having the modbutton cables protruding in towards me helps further shield them from potential wear and abrasion.

Things to be added later:

BCM Gunfighter Vertical Foregrip, Mod.3 (MLOK), FDE (should hopefully get it later this week)

Aimpoint T2 Micro (or another SIG Romeo 5. I'm not made of money lol)

KAK K-Spec Enhanced BCG, Downward Venting, NP3 Finish (if they ever restock...)

Surefire M640 Body w/ KM2-C Head (to let me transplant the M640DF body/head to the FDE A2 build and have a positive shutoff for this build)

Suppressor of some form or another (goal is a YHM T3 Turbo, but we'll see what I get)

[acceleracers-baby]

Acceleracers HC’s! Road Trip Roles! Metal Maniac Edition!

Metal Maniacs

(Taro Kitano, Tork Maddox, Monkey McClurg, Porkchop Riggs, Mark Wylde)

+Bonus Round

(Doctor Tezla & Lani Tam)

Metal Maniacs

Taro Kitano - Taro is the mediator and is in charge of making sure the group is alive by the time they get to their destination. I love the Maniacs, but these idiots will pick a fight over the stupidest shit. Obviously they’re all friends, they’re welded, but when Porkchop starts snoring like a buzzsaw, and Wylde starts kicking his seat to get him to stop, someone HAS to step in. That’s why he’s also in charge of discreetly picking the seating arrangement. Before every trip he strategically packs everyone’s stuff in the van to where they basically have assigned seats if they want to easily reach their bags.

Tork Maddox - One of the drivers but due to his role as leader, he’s also in charge of planning the trip. Whether or not that plan is actually carried out exactly as written is anyone’s guess really. No matter what happens, he seems to always have a solution for it though. No gas station for miles and their tanks running low? Good thing he’s got one of those extra gas cans filled up. Someone (Wylde) in the back is getting cranky cause they haven’t eaten? Good thing he packed extra sandwiches because he knows how his guys get. Let it also be known that Tork WILL stop if he sees someone having car troubles and he thinks that they can help.

Monkey McClurg - Like Shirako, I feel like Monkey’s roll is pretty obvious. He’s the mechanic!!! Before every road trip, Monkey is elbow deep in whatever van like vehicle they’ve decided to fix up and make their own. From oil changes to tune ups, this guy is ON IT. Nevermind the fact that his tool bag takes up at least half a seat… Luckily, he’s a pretty scrawny guy so it doesn’t bother him too much. Even when he’s not working on the van he’s thinking of ways to make it better. Monkey is also the main guy Tork shoves forward when they stop to help a stranded driver. He’ll grumble about it, but he really does enjoy helping people out. Especially if the people they’re helping are attractive.

Porkchop Riggs - Porkchop is driver number two! Him and Tork switch off anytime the other needs a break. If it’s an overnighter, he’s usually on the night shift because of his aforementioned buzzsaw like snoring. Porkchop can sleep through a lot so when the musics on and the windows are rolled down you can almost tune him out in the daytime. His secondary job is planning their stops. I like to think that either Mama Chop or Papa Chop (or both) were truckers so this man has all the insider information on what stops to take and which are better left in the rear view mirror. He has never missed with his roadside diner selections either.

Mark Wylde - Road rage connoisseur. You ever have that friend that flips off asshole drivers for you? That’s Markie. It’s his favorite source of entertainment on long drives. He may not be the one driving, but he’ll be yelling out the window at people like he is. He is a classic shit starter. I love Mark to death, but genuinely, he will argue with anyone about anything. When he’s not being a little shit, however, he is an excellent source of endless entertainment. He’s somehow always able to keep a conversation going, and between his endless sarcasm and witty comebacks, it’s never dull.

Bonus Round

Doctor Tezla - Doctor Tezla travels with one person and one person alone…or should I say robot? No matter what, he’s always got his emotional support Gig with him. It also helps that Gig can simply connect to whatever car they take and essentially autopilot it all the way to their destination so that Tezla can continue working or catch up on some much needed sleep. Sometimes Gig will purposely make Tezla a decaf cup of coffee for the road so he’s more likely to pass out halfway through the drive.

Lani Tam - Okay so I may have lied… Doctor Tezla USED to only travel with Gig, but now that Lani has taken up a role at the Acceledrome, he’s hesitantly extended an invitation to her as well. Mainly because when they’re on the verge of a breakthrough, he doesn’t want lack of communication to be the reason he couldn’t reach the Accelerons quicker. Lani sorta loves autopilot Gig too- especially when Tezla inevitably passes out from prolonged sleep deprivation and she can catch up on reading or even do a little crochet. Lani is also the type to pick up souvenirs from wherever their destination is. It’s like Christmas when she gets back because she’s just handing out keychains, shot glasses, and T-shirts from wherever they visited.

Task Force Blue Seven: Deacon

First of three short Lancer fics I wrote as part of a campaign that never got started.

. . . . . 

First, there is the pain. You don’t like the pain. Still, you have been trained to push past it. 

Trained by whom? There’s history, your history, but it’s fuzzy.

You can feel the light shining through your eyelids. Heavy as they are, you open them. 

The room is steel-grey and lit by harsh fluorescent lighting. 

You see two people looming over the bed where you are currently lying. One is a man, greying, wiry and thin. The other is a woman, young, covered in freckles, dark red hair like dry blood buzzed close to her head. 

They’re talking to each other, and although you understand the individual words they are saying (contingency, mass casualties, interest) the deeper meaning is beyond your grasp. 

One of them, the older man, places a hand on your chest as if in reassurance. He looks down and sees your open eyes. 

He gasps in shock and calls out. To you, or to someone else, you don’t know. Strength exhausted, you return to oblivion. 

. . . . . 

Your dreams are an orgy of violence. 

You are a lancer, your mech strapped into a zero-gravity transport along with ten others. The faces of your squadmates are visible on your screens. Two of them are familiar to you: the old man and younger woman. She’s Worm. The old man — Romulus, his name — is the leader. The rest are vague, blurry. The bay doors on the transport open, and you are launched into a hole in the side of a ship. You remember the ship’s name:

[THE CARNAL ENLIGHTENMENT]

Your mechs are small, purpose-built for engaging in the tight corridors of spaceships. The ship’s crew is surprisingly well armed, but there is little they can do as you cleave a trail of destruction. 

Then, you notice one of your squadmates’ feeds has gone dark. Then two more in quick succession. A scream from a fourth and then they’re gone too. 

Something has gone wrong. This was supposed to be easy. They were supposed to be unarmed. A private research vessel. You begin to run in the direction of where your comrades were. You hear a scream…

Then you see the monster. A being, a creature of flesh and blood, and yet impossible in size. Formless except for an enormous mouth. It’s… disturbingly human. Pink lips, and teeth the size and shape of tombstones. 

It has your comrade’s mech in its mouth. Its jaws clamp down and bisect them, swallowing a head, arm and most of the torso. 

Another screen goes dark, but not immediately. You see the life leave their agonized face, hear the scream gurgle to a conclusion. 

You run, but even your mechanized legs are unable to outpace the monster. You feel a cartilaginous tendril snag your leg, and down you go. You feel your bones twist and snap—.

 . . . . . 

You wake up to the feeling of an electric current running through your body like needles in your blood. 

“Good, you’re awake.”

There’s a woman, older, well-dressed, smiling almost imperceptibly.”

“Welcome back, Contractor 903.”

She leans down and gives you a cursory examination. 

“I’m here to inform you that per your contract with Seraphim Tactical Solutions, you have incurred a substantial debt due to extensive flash-cloning, surgical interventions and robotic limb replacement procedures. In addition, the loss of expensive hardware due to an unsanctioned retreat is a violation of your terms and conditions. You have been found responsible for the liquidation of all of your fellow contractors, and the subsequent loss of their hardware.”

You don’t understand. She talks too fast, but her words seem… wrong?

“No…” you manage to croak out. “There were… two others. The…” 

The woman clucks her tongue. 

“You’re mistaken, Contractor 903,” she says. “And you would do well not to repeat any of those slanderous words again, lest you incur additional infractions. You are the sole survivor. There was no monster. Your operation was compromised by an explosion releasing hallucinogenic gas into the ship. Everyone except for you died. And now you have to recoup those losses. Luckily, we have just the solution. An experimental surgery that you signed off on as collateral for any significant debts. Welcome to the Nephilim Program, Deacon. And congratulations. We’re going to make you very useful.” 

She looks over your shoulder at someone else. When she speaks again, her tone is flat and grim. 

“Put him under again.” She says. “I want him combat-ready before we reach the Grieber system.” 

You want to scream, but your mouth is no longer your own. Oblivion swallows you whole. Your final thought is the realization that you never mentioned a monster to the woman.

What is main things to clean a kitchen?

Keeping your kitchen clean is essential for maintaining a healthy and pleasant cooking environment. Regular cleaning not only ensures that your kitchen remains hygienic but also helps prevent the buildup of grime, which can lead to unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. To efficiently clean your kitchen, it's important to focus on several key areas and use the right tools and techniques. This guide will walk you through the main tasks involved in kitchen cleaning, offering tips and answering common questions to help you maintain a spotless kitchen.

What is the Necessary Things You Need In The Kitchen

Counters and Surfaces: Start by clearing off all countertops, including any small appliances, utensils, and food items. Use a kitchen cleaner or a mix of mild soap and water to wipe down surfaces. Pay attention to areas around the sink, stove, and backsplash where spills and splatters can accumulate.

Sink: The sink often harbors bacteria and food particles. Scrub the sink with a non-abrasive cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. For a sparkling finish, you can also use a solution of vinegar and water. Don’t forget to clean the faucet and handles, as these are frequently touched areas.

Stovetop: Remove burner grates and knobs if you have a gas stove. Soak them in soapy water and scrub away any grease or residue. For electric stoves, wipe down the surface with a suitable cleaner, ensuring you don’t use excessive moisture that could damage electrical components.

Oven: Clean the interior of the oven periodically to avoid the buildup of burnt food and grease. Use an oven cleaner or a homemade paste of baking soda and water. For self-cleaning ovens, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to activate the cleaning cycle.

Refrigerator: Empty the refrigerator and discard any expired or unwanted food. Wipe down shelves and drawers with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Clean the exterior and handles with an all-purpose cleaner.

Flooring: Sweep or vacuum the kitchen floor to remove crumbs and debris. Mop the floor using a cleaner suitable for your flooring type (tile, laminate, etc.). Make sure to rinse the mop frequently to avoid spreading dirt around.

Garbage and Recycling: Regularly empty the trash and recycling bins to prevent odors and bacterial growth. Clean the bins themselves with soap and water to remove any residual grime.

Small Appliances: Wipe down small appliances like toasters, microwaves, and coffee makers. For appliances with removable parts, such as toaster trays or microwave turntables, wash them separately.

Frequently Asked Question

How often should I clean my kitchen?

It’s best to do a quick clean daily—wipe down surfaces, wash dishes, and sweep the floor. A more thorough cleaning should be done weekly, including scrubbing the sink, stovetop, and refrigerator. Monthly or quarterly, address deep cleaning tasks like oven cleaning and organizing cabinets.

What’s the best way to clean greasy kitchen cabinets?

To clean greasy cabinets, use a mixture of warm water and dish soap. For stubborn grease, add a bit of baking soda to the solution. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge, and wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.

How do I get rid of odors in my garbage disposal?

To eliminate odors, grind up lemon peels or ice cubes in the disposal. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, letting it sit for a few minutes before running water through the disposal.

Can I use bleach to clean my kitchen?

While bleach is effective for disinfecting, it’s often too harsh for regular kitchen cleaning. Use it sparingly and always dilute it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For routine cleaning, stick to milder cleaners to avoid damaging surfaces.

What’s the best way to clean stainless steel appliances?

To clean stainless steel appliances, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar. Wipe in the direction of the grain and dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaks and water spots.

Conclusion

A clean kitchen is the cornerstone of a healthy and enjoyable cooking experience. By regularly addressing key areas such as countertops, sinks, stovetops, and floors, and utilizing the right cleaning tools and techniques, you can maintain a space that is not only visually appealing but also hygienic. Remember that consistency is key—daily tidying, weekly deep cleaning, and periodic maintenance will keep your kitchen in top shape. By incorporating these practices into your routine and addressing common questions and concerns, you'll ensure that your kitchen remains a safe, efficient, and pleasant place to prepare meals. Happy cleaning!

Round 6

[image ID: the first image is of Hikaru, a boy with white hair, wearing a short sleeve button up shirt, tucked into dark pants, and carrying a backpack. he's holding up 2 fingers in a peace sign. the second image is of No Significant Harassment, a shadowy figure standing behind a sleeping pink-red, fox-like creature. their green hands seem to be holding up the floating creature. end ID]

Hikaru

technically he isnt the real hikaru, hes a strange melty fractal creature that cant be fully perceived that took over the original hikaru's body after he died in the mountains [additional propaganda 1]

No Significant Harassment

They're just a silly little guy. A jokester. Significant harassment if you will. Anyway, a more in depth run down: They're a city sized supercomputer built by a Buddhist adjacent society to figure out how to transcend the 'Great Cycle' (semi-metaphorical cycle of death and rebirth) in a safer way than the previous method (submerging oneself in the 'void sea' which is a mysterious golden liquid that dissolves whatever it touches). Despite being built for this express purpose NSH never really shows a pressing interest in ascension, even cracking jokes about those who are still looking for a solution. Whether this is due to indifference, dislike of, or humor to cope with being unable to ascend is not clear and really up to interpretation. Example: NSH: I wish them super good luck in that endeavor. How is it going to happen? Have the overseers gnaw through bedrock until their entire can crashes down in the void sea? BSM: Please be respectful when speaking of the Void Sea. Grey Wind, where did you hear this? CW: I really shouldn't say. He's going to attempt some sort of breeding program. Thought you might want to know. NSH: Haha with the slimers, lizards and etceteras? Surely the answer was in a lizard skull all along! He's very flippant, but does care very intensely for those close to him. NSH: Moon? It's me again. NSH: I do not know if you are receiving these. Please signal in any way you can. NSH: I need to talk to you. I need to know you're okay. NSH: … NSH: Its difficult for us to assist you over this distance. NSH: Even more difficult for us to do anything in the midst of these tantrums. NSH: Were going to try everything that we can. NSH: Just hold on a little longer. (Context for previous convo: They genetically engineered a super organism of a slugcat (the species you play as in Rain World) to help reset his coworker/sibling after her collapse and restart her systems. He was so desperate to fix her that he accidentally messed up the slugcat's (Hunter) genetic code and as a result it became riddle with the Rot (relatively similar to aggressive cancer) :( which parallels his other coworker/siblings condition who also has the rot. ) He canonically uses he/they pronouns too! Nonbinary swag! NSH has major internet troll vibes. He has sent a data pearl of "something distasteful" to his neighbors on several(?) occasions and causes chaos. If he had access to the wider internet he'd probably be an influencer So…yeah! Vote NSH this website likes the allure of heavy machinery and stuff like that so… there you go. Kind of a blorbo. End post.

Rue Gay-Lussac

Sunday 12 May

The rue Gay-Lussac still carries the scars of the ‘night of the barricades’. Burnt out cars line the pavement, their carcasses a dirty grey under the missing paint. The cobbles, cleared from the middle of the road, lie in huge mounds on either side. A vague smell of tear gas still lingers in the air.

At the junction with the rue des Ursulines lies a building site, its wire mesh fence breached in several places. From here came material for at least a dozen barricades: planks, wheelbarrows, metal drums, steel girders, cement mixers, blocks of stone. The site also yielded a pneumatic drill. The students couldn’t use it, of course — not until a passing building worker showed them how, perhaps the first worker actively to support the student revolt. Once broken. the road surface provided cobbles, soon put to a variety of uses. All that is already history.

People are walking up and down the street, as if trying to convince themselves that it really happened. They aren’t students. The students themselves know what happened and why it happened. They aren’t local inhabitants either, The local inhabitants saw what happened, the viciousness of the CRS charges, the assaults on the wounded, the attacks on innocent bystanders, the unleashed fury of the state machine against those who had challenged it. The people in the streets are the ordinary people of Paris, people from neighbouring districts, horrified at what they have heard over the radio or read in their papers and who have come for a walk on a fine Sunday morning to see for themselves. They are talking in small clusters with the inhabitants of the rue Gay-Lussac. The Revolution, having for a week held the university and the streets of the Latin Quarter, is beginning to take hold of the minds of men.

On Friday 3 May the CRS had paid their historic visit to the forborne. They had been invited in by Paul Roche, Hector of Paris University. The Rector had almost certainly acted in connivance with Alain Peyrefitte, Minister of Education, if not with the Elysee itself. Many students had been arrested, beaten up, and several were summarily convicted.

The unbelievable — yet thoroughly predictable — ineptitude of this bureaucratic ‘solution’ to the ‘problem’ of student discontent triggered off a chain reaction. It provided the pent-up anger, resentment and frustration of tens of thousands of young people with both a reason for further action and with an attainable objective. The students, evicted from the university, took to the street, demanding the liberation of their comrades, the reopening of their faculties, the withdrawal of the cops.

Layers upon layers of new people were soon drawn into the struggle. The student union (UNEF) and the union representing university teaching staff (SNESUP) called for an unlimited strike. For a week the students held their ground, in ever bigger and more militant street demonstrations. On Tuesday 7 May 50,000 students and teachers marched through the streets behind a single banner: ‘Vive La Commune’, and sang the Internationals at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, at the Arc de Triomphe. On Friday 10 May students and teachers decided to occupy the Latin Quarter en masse. They felt they had more right to be there than the police, for whom barracks were provided elsewhere. The cohesion and sense of purpose of the demonstrators terrified the Establishment. Power couldn’t be allowed to lie with this rabble, who had even had the audacity to erect barricades.

Another inept gesture was needed. Another administrative reflex duly materialised. Fouchet (Minister Of the interior) and Joxe (Deputy Prime Minister) ordered Grimaud (Superintendent of the Paris police) to clear the streets. The order was confirmed in writing, doubtless to be preserved for posterity as an example of what not to do in certain situations. The CRS charged...clearing the rue Gay-Lussac and opening the doors to the second phase of the Revolution.

In the rue Gay-Lussac and in adjoining streets, the battle-scarred wails carry a dual message. They bear testimony to the incredible courage of those who held the area for several hours against a deluge of tear gas, phosphorous grenades and repeated charges of club-swinging CRS. But they also show something of what the defenders were striving for...

Mural propaganda is an integral part of the revolutionary Paris of May 1968. It has become a mass activity, part and parcel of the Revolution’s method of. self-expression. The walls of, the Latin Quarter are the depository of a new rationality, no longer confined to books, but democratically displayed at street level and made available to all. The trivial and the profound, the traditional and the esoteric, rub shoulders in this new fraternity, rapidly breaking down the rigid barriers and compartments in people’s minds. ‘Désobéir d’abord: alors écris sur les murs (Loi du 10 Mai 1968)’ reads an obviously recent inscription, clearly setting the tone. ‘Si tout le people faisait comme nous’ (if everybody acted like us...) wistfully dreams another in joyful anticipation, l think, rather than in any spirit of self-satisfied substitutionary. Most of the slogans are straightforward, correct and fairly orthodox: ‘Libérez nos camarades’ ; ‘Fouchet, Grimaud, démission’; ‘A bàs l’Etat policier’; ‘Grève Générale fundi’; ‘Travailleurs, étudiants, soldaires’; ‘Vive les Conseils Ouvriers’. Other slogans reflect the new concerns: ‘La publicity te manipule’; ‘Examens = hiérarchie’; ‘L’art est mort, ne consommes pas son cadavre’; ‘A bàs la society de consummation” ‘Debout les damnes de Nanterre . The slogan ‘Baisses-toi et broute’(Bend your head and chew the cud) is obviously aimed at those whose minds are still full of traditional preoccupations. ‘Centre Ia fermentation groupusculaire�� moans a large scarlet inscription. This one is really out of touch. For everywhere there is a profusion of pasted up posters and journals; V’oix Ouvrière, Avant-Garde and Revoltes (for the Trotskyisls), Servir Ie Peuple and Humanity Nouvelle (for the devotees of Chairman Mao), Le Libertaire (for the Anarchists), Tribune Socialiste (for the PSU), Even odd copies of l’Humanité are pasted up. It is difficult to read them, so covered are they with critical comments.

On a hoarding, I see a large advertisement for a new brand of cheese; a child biting into an enormous sandwich. ‘C’est bon Ie fromage So-and-so’ runs the patter. Someone has covered the last few words with red paint. The poster reads ‘C’est bon la Revolution’. People pass by, look, and smile.

I talk to my companion, a man of about 45, an ‘old’ revolutionary. We discuss the tremendous possibilities now opening up. He suddenly turns towards me and comes out with a memorable phrase:“To think one had to have kids and wait 20 years to see all this...” We talk to others in the street, to young and old, to the ‘political’ and the ‘unpolitical’, to people at all levels of understanding and commitment. Everyone is prepared to talk — in fact everyone wants to. They all seem remarkably articulate. We find no-one prepared to defend the actions of the administration. The ‘critics’ fall into two main groups’.

The ‘progressive’ university teachers, the Communists, and a number of students see the main root of the student ‘crisis’ in the backwardness of the university in relation to society’s current needs, in the quantitative inadequacy of the tuition provided, in the semi-feudal attitudes of some professors, and in the general insufficiency of job opportunities. They see the University as unadapted to the modern world. The remedy for them is adaptation: a modernising reform which would sweep away the cobwebs, provide more teachers, better lecture theatres, a bigger educational budget, perhaps a more liberal attitude on the campus and, at the end of it all, an assured job.

The rebels (which include some but by no means all of the ‘old’ revolutionaries) see this concern with adapting the university to modern society as something of a diversion. For it is modern society itself which they reject. They consider bourgeois life trivial and mediocre, repressive and repressed. They have no yearning (but only contempt) for the administrative and managerial careers it holds out for them. They are not seeking integration into adult society. On the contrary, they are seeking a chance radically to contest its adulteration. The driving force of their revolt is their own alienation, the meaninglessness of life under modern bureaucratic capitalism. It is certainly not a purely economic deterioration in their standard of living.

It is no accident that the ‘revolution’ started in the Nanterre faculties of Sociology and Psychology. The students saw that the sociology they were being taught was a means of controlling and manipulating society, not a means of understanding it in order to change it. In the process they’ discovered revolutionary sociology. They rejected the niche allocated to them in the great bureaucratic pyramid, that of ‘experts’ in the service of a technocratic Establishment, specialists of the ‘human factor’ in the modern industrial equation. In the process they discovered the importance of the working class. The amazing thing is that, at least among the active layers of the students, these ‘sectarians’ suddenly seem to have become the majority’, surely the best definition of any revolution.

The two types of ‘criticism’ of the modern French educational system do not neutralism one another. On the contrary, each creates its own kind of problems for the University authorities and for the officials at the Ministry of Education. The real point is that one kind of criticism what one might call the quantitative one — could in time be coped with by modern bourgeois society’. The other — the qualitative one — never. This is what gives it its revolutionary potential. The ‘trouble with the University’, for the powers that be, isn’t that money can’t be found for more teachers. It can. The ‘trouble’ is that the University is full of students — and that the heads of the students are full of revolutionary ideas.

Among those we speak to there is a deep awareness that the problem cannot be solved in the Latin Quarter, that isolation of the revolt in a student ‘ghetto’ (even an ‘autonomous’ one) would spell defeat. They realise that the salvation of the movement lies in its extension to other sectors of the population. But here wide differences appear. When some talk of the importance of the working class it is as a substitute for getting on with any kind of struggle themselves, an excuse for denigrating the students’ struggle and ‘adventurist’. Yet it is precisely because of its unparalleled militancy that the students’ action has established that direct Action works, has begun to influence the younger workers and to rattle the established organizations. Other students realise the relationship of these struggles more clearly. We will find them later at Censier (see page 31 ), animating the ‘worker-student’ action committees, But enough, for the time being, about the Latin Quarter. The movement has already spread beyond its narrow confines.
