was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

i refuse to play chess with this dog. im like why did i even play chess with the dog back then i thought a fair amount of us collectively decided that we weren’t doing that anymore. and yet the dog is seated at the chessboard always and you still see people playing chess with it and losing and actually sometimes winning but in like. increasingly weird and unproductive ways. like at what cost

I think what kills me the most about the “Gemma is destined to die” crowd is that they’ve broached that writing possibility as if it’s something to celebrate instead of, like, deeply troubling and racist. (I know it’s because they don’t give a fuck about Gemma or if the show is racist as long as she’s out of the picture, but it’s kinda blowing my mind how much of a foothold that position has gotten without much pushback until recently.)

YEAH exactly like I'm still trying to figure out how killing off a woc in service of a man's arc in 2025 is good and intelligent writing when there are so many more things they could do with Gemma's character. They seem to have gone way too hard on the Eurydice/Orpheus analogy and think now she HAS to die. But yeah, like you said, it's not even about that, they just really want her dead because of their ship.

Not to mention, Gemma isn't simply Eurydice here, she's also been compared to Persephone. And do know what happened to Persephone? She came back.

Considering article XII of the OST, would Mark Watney actually be a space pirate? He's not even using a foreign governments stuff, so does the OST even apply? Is he breaking any laws at all?

for context, this question is about this scene from The Martian:

“I’ve been thinking about laws on Mars. There’s an international treaty saying that no country can lay claim to anything that’s not on Earth. By another treaty if you’re not in any country’s territory, maritime law aplies. So Mars is international waters. Now, NASA is an American non-military organization, it owns the Hab. But the second I walk outside I’m in international waters. So Here’s the cool part. I’m about to leave for the Schiaparelli Crater where I’m going to commandeer the Ares IV lander. Nobody explicitly gave me permission to do this, and they can’t until on board the Ares IV. So I’m going to be taking a craft over in international waters without permission, which by definition… makes me a pirate. Mark Watney: Space Pirate.”

any i have to disappoint - mark is not a space pirate. first of all, i don't know where this man got the idea that maritime law applies to outer space. that is simply not true - while general law applies in outer space (Art III OST), the law of the sea (UNCLOS) clearly regulates, well, the sea. which space is not! what he is kind of right about is that there is an exclusion of appropriation of celestial bodies (Art II OST) - but he is not appropriating a celestial bodies, he is entering a space object which belongs to the USA, which you can own even in space, and belongs to you forever even if you never interact with it again (Art VIII OST). now, he does not have permission to interact with the object, which would technically be a violation of the USA's right to jurisdiction and control. ...but he is ALSO under the jurisdiction and control of the USA as a NASA astronaut, and international law necessarily requires the involvement of multiple jurisdictions/states to be applicable, so this is a non-issue under international space law and a labour law question more than anything. sorry mark.

most utena fans are juri coded. like we all get so serious and angry about poll drama because we just want someone to believe in miracles (recognise utena’s merits as one of the greatest works of art ever made) and know our feelings (let utena win something for once). but the rest of the world is sooooooooo shiori coded. Sad

i think as far as "analog" horror games go the ones i found i really like are amanda the adventurer and home safety hotline because they are actually interesting for utilizing fey folklore as a basis for the horror and not just like cryptids or creepypastas or whatever. like YES now this shit is fucking good!!! now we're cooking with gas!!!!
