"I don't need you to talk me down. I've already made up my mind. And I am. Sick of it." Is something that Icarus said today during lore, at the end. They were inside their house, glaring at quixis and their insistence to just keep *helping.* Icarus is sick of all of this, the fighting, quixis, *everything.* and they've made up their mind - they're not going to try any more. (but how many times have they said that already? How many times have they said they're not going to try only to try try try again? How many times are they going to try after this, because some part of them doesn't care who tells it, they just want to be *good* and loved so desperately. How many more times are they going to say they're done and they've made up their mind only to change and not stick to their word?) But, it's the first part of that sentence that I think is interesting. "I don't need you to talk me down." They don't phrase it like they're in too deep and quixis is trying to talk them out of it, they don't phrase it like they're hurting and hurting and hurting and quixis is trying to help - no. No Icarus phrases this like they're on the edge of a cliff about to step off and fall and quixis is trying to tell them to step back and see the bigger, whole picture of what would happen if they did. They don't phrase it like they're in too deep, Icarus phrases it like they're about to fall, and fall so so far. And quixis is trying to tell them to step back, tell them to see the bigger picture, to tell or call someone for *help.* Sure, Icarus is in too deep, but at the same time they manage to stand atop something too tall and too high, about to fall the furthest they have in a long long time.

Maybourne's Stunt
a mini fic by mushroom
unintentionally, but this is the fic that tells you Nymph's planet designation!
Jack groaned when he walked into general Hammond's office to see colonel Harry Maybourne standing there.
"always happy to see you, Maybourne." Jack greeted sarcastically, voice dripping with disdain.
Maybourne thrust a piece of paper towards Jack, which he snatched away and glanced over.
"a transfer order? for what?"
Hammond looked furious, which wasn't a good sign. Maybourne stood up straighter, an air of self-importance wafting off of him like a tangible stench.
"I'm to take that alien you found on P3X-483 to the Groom Lake Facility immediately."
Jack blinked. "P3X...?"
Hammond sighed, and shook his head like he didn't want to clarify. "His orders are for Nymph."
That made Jack angry.
"Maybourne, there is no way in hell I'm letting you take away my kid to experiment on her!"
"She's not your kid, colonel!" Maybourne retorted.
at this point, Jack was seconds away from beating him senseless. "I have perfectly forged paperwork saying she is!"
"gentlemen, let's take a second before we do anything we might regret." Hammond gave a look to both of them, trying to get them under control. Jack paced around the room.
"trust me, general, I'm not going to regret anything I'd do to that man."
Maybourne scoffed, but a glare from Jack made him realise that he wasn't joking.
"call the president, tell him it must be a mistake!" Jack slammed his hands on the general's desk, getting more angry the more he thought of what would happen to Nymph if Maybourne were allowed to take her. no, she was definitely better off in Cheyenne mountain with him and his team. they were her family, and he wasn't going to let anything happen to her.
as Hammond picked up the red phone, Jack stormed out to inform Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c about the crap that the disgrace of a colonel was trying to pull.
~ • ~ • ~
"sir, he can't be allowed to take her! it's not right!"
Sam was almost near tears. Daniel wrinkled his nose like he had smelled something foul, and Teal'c looked ready to kill the man.
"I know, Carter, I'm not gonna let him take her. she's our kid, she belongs with us." Jack was scowling, and pacing around Sam's lab.
"if general Hammond can't reach the president - which he hasn't been able to do in a while - how are we going to stop Maybourne?" Daniel asked.
"I don't know, Daniel, but we'll think of something! we always think of something!"
Sam flinched a little at Jack's sudden raise in volume, which made him lower his arms back to his sides and take a breath.
"I don't know how we're going to get her out of this, sir. when Teal’c was infected with those bugs, he ran away; and the Tollan went to the Nox. we need to keep her with us, and the only way to do that is to somehow get those orders rescinded. if the general can't reach the president, or worse can't get him to agree to let her stay, I don't know what else we can do." Sam went to wipe away a tear, and at that moment Nymph walked into the lab, holding her stuffed toy.
"what's going on?" Nymph asked, looking worried. she glanced back and forth at all their faces, growing more concerned as she looked.
"come here, baby," Sam sniffled, holding her arms out in a beckoning manner. Nymph floated over and crawled into Sam's lap, looking up at her tear-stained eyes.
Sam took a deep breath. "a man is trying to take you away, because his team wants to study you. we see you as the wonderful little girl you are, but he and his team will only see you as something that came through the stargate."
"but uncle Teal'c came through the stargate, too!" Nymph exclaimed, pointing at Teal'c.
"yeah, and this man tried to take uncle Teal'c away, too, but we stopped him. and we're going to try our best and stop him from taking you away."
"I will not allow harm to come to you, Nymph," Teal'c said reassuringly. Nymph just held on tighter to Sam. Hammond's voice over the intercom summoned SG-1 to the command room, and Sam simply stood up and carried Nymph with her.
Maybourne was waiting impatiently in stargate command, next to Hammond and in full witness of several SGC personnel when the team walked in.
"finally. I have my orders, colonel. I have to take her with me." Maybourne looked almost proud of himself, which made Jack feel sick.
Nymph read Maybourne, and his motives and morality made her heart sink. as she hid behind Sam, she burst into tears. her wails echoed in the cramped space, and everyone promptly turned to look at Maybourne with the fury of a thousand suns. five separate SFs rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward threateningly. Teal'c simply took one step to close the space between him and Maybourne, his towering physique and freezing glare being all the threat he needed. Jack looked ready to charge. Sam and Daniel were trying their best to calm the cries, but very little information of what could happen, their reassurances fell short.
Hammond was heavily considering letting this wall of protective, angry military men descend on Maybourne, but at the very last minute barked out an order to stand down.
"now listen closely, colonel Maybourne, because I wouldn't lose any sleep over letting them tear you to pieces." Hammond growled, his voice low and furious. "I simply have no desire to file all that paperwork. now take your transfer order, shove it in the garbage, and get the hell out of my base! if you try a stunt like this again, I'll have you thrown out."
Jack turned to walk away, but before anyone could stop him he promptly decked Maybourne in the face.
"no regrets," he said, shaking the hand that punched Maybourne, who ran out of the room with a glare and a really bad bruise.
"you know I'm going to have to court martial you for this, right?" Hammond sighed, a secret gleam of pride in his eye. an SF raised his hand and spoke up.
"court martial him for what, sir? I didn't see anything."
"I didn't see anything, either," a technician added.
"I don't think you'll find anything of note on the security feed, either, sir," Walter Harriman piped up. "unfortunately, the footage of the last two minutes seems to be corrupted beyond repair."
Jack shrugged, and Hammond shook his head with a smile.
"you're a little too lucky, colonel."
"I'm sure I have no idea what you mean, sir." Jack smiled.
"so I don't have to go away?" Nymph asked, worried.
Sam grinned, and picked her up. "nope, you're stuck here with us!"
Nymph smiled wide enough to show her pointed teeth, and her heterochromatic eyes sparkled with glee as she hugged Sam tighter.

Do… other countries not have this? Which country are you from???
My Mexican ass is getting delivered hot bread, corn on a cup, mops and brooms, icecream, tacos, tamales, gas, water, tortas, the guy who buys ur broken fridges….
All of them with their own special jingle, right to my front porch.
Yall should level up
Food trucks should operate like ice cream trucks. I want to hear a fun Spanish jingle coming down the street and then walk ten steps from my front door to get tacos.

Chappell Roan really was like "I won't endorse Harris because of the continuing genocide and the fact that the Democrats aren't protecting trans people. I am voting for Harris but won't endorse. You should expect more from your politicians and that's what I want before I endorse anyone" and got absolutely insane amounts of hatred and vitriol for that not only normal, but morally righteous take. And then because of aforementioned insane amounts of hate had to cancel shows due to mental health and then got MORE HATE. Like wow! Starting to think you don't want principled and authentic celebrities, don't care about women's feelings, and don't understand how mental illness affects people! It will entirely be entitled fans fault if she steps back forever from releasing music

feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.
information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:
Hurricane Milton is shaping up to be the third strongest hurricane ever recorded.
Make sure you have an evacuation plan if the order is given or if you've already been told to leave.
there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters
Prepare/secure your home
Find your nearest shelter and be prepared to leave
If you want to stay in the loop about the hurricane, WESH 2 News has ongoing coverage ad-free on YouTube.
General resources/information:
Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!
Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!

'wah wah everywhere is falling to the right wing the whole world is doomed' literally like 6 months ago we were talking about how there was a trend in countries getting rid of their right wing governments. poland at the end of last year, france voted in a unified centre left/left alliance, even the UK finally got rid of the tories after 15 years (right wing splitting be damned, it still happened). outside of europe, bangladesh removed a dictator in like 2 seconds, india may have reelected their Evil Guy but on a DISTINCTLY reduced majority, theres been queer rights successes in thailand, with gay marriage set to be legal by 2025, and thereve been positive court cases on it in japan. and this is just stuff i vaguely remember hearing about. im sure theres more if you care to look for anything aside from more reasons to make yourself miserable
the US has a distinct effect on everyone, so this won't be fun for anyone (least of all its population. sorry guys), and there ARE a lot of people sliding into right wing extremism, but presenting this like its an unchallenged worldwide phenomenon is inaccurate, its damagingly bleak, and all it does is encourage despair and apathy. you DO have political power, and you shouldnt forget that just because of bad election results and the media's desperation to make you lose hope
