i think my favorite thing about the anime's new art style is the fact that they gave rin a pomeranian tail
#they added so much floof just because they could#everyone keeps complaining about the new art style and i think it's undeserved!!#i will say my favorite art style over all was the kyoto arc but there's still improvements!#his flames look so much better. shiemi definitely looks better#everyone's eyes look really pretty and considering how. eyes are a big plot point it makes sense#and rin DOES look more accurate to the manga's current art style. so it doesn't match the chapters it's portraying as well but#it will when they catch up#and sure there's some wonky moments because the animation team did say they were rushed (who's surprised)#but does anyone not remember how wonky some of season 1 looks#it looks very wonky a lot of times#anyway that's my ted talk#fox post (ooc)

I like to imagine NarĂŸil was made by Curvo with Telchar alongside Angrist. Curvo kept Angrist while Nelyo was gifted NarĂŸil - Nar coming from the word Anar, meaning the sun, and ĂŸil coming from the word IĂŸil, meaning the moon. A sword of duality.
That sword was carried into the NĂrnaeth Arnoediad, Doriath, Sirion, and hundreds of skirmishes in between. Maedhros used it to shed blood one last time for the Silmarilli before taking his own life. Maglor made sure it reached Elros, who Maedhros had half-jokingly said would get the sword should something happen to him, before Maglor himself disappeared from the narrative.
NarĂŸil was passed through Elros' true heirs until Elendil. When he fell, IĂŸildur took up the shards. He swung, and he thought he saw a flash of russet hair, a copper circlet, glowing silver eyes.
Ăauron's finger fell.
Like, I'm sure Tolkien would make Narsil a sword that belongs to good guys and stuff, but the idea of Narsil being Maedhros sword (maybe even made by FĂ«anor himself) makes me so rabid.
Like, Elros taking the sword that caused so much pain, that belongs to someone he both loves and hates, and makes it into part of his own kingdom for the purpose of good.
That sword being then broken by Sauron and finally used to defeat him in its brokenness (something, something, the redemption in battle that Mae never gets, something, something, symbolism).
And its shard then reforged into Anduril.
Flame of the West.

I know we often associate the canary with Sam, but I think Collin was the canary.
From the start he was singing the dangers of the job, trying to warn off everyone else. He tried to warn them, to save everyone by destroying the servers.
In the end, no one paid any mind to his voice until it was gone and he was dead. He died caged in the thing he tried so hard to escape, like a canary taking its last breath deep below the ground caged by the rocky walls that would spell its doom no matter how hard it sang.
#you know sometimes miners would grow attached to the birds and try to save them?#yeah thatâs Alice and Colin#except Alice made her choice#and it wasnât to save the bird#anyways thank you for listening to my Ted talk#tma#the magnus protocol#tmagp#tmagp epilogue

To me, the best embodiment of modern capitalism is in the phrase "please hold, we are experiencing higher than usual call volume". I know it's a lie. You know it's a lie. But you still hear that line every time you call, regardless of the day or time, because it shifts the blame. It tries to prompt you to blame the other callers instead of asking, "Hey, why are they deliberately understaffing their call centers and making it so difficult to get help?" It takes a failing caused by a deliberate, profit-focused management choice, and turns it into a problem with the people using the system, rather than one with the system itself. And that pattern, to me, is the epitome of the modern corporate system.
#today in reliabledragon complains about call centers#I know this isn't that deep or anything#but like#this wording is a choice#and this pattern just shows up in so many places#it's infuriating#to see how effectively systems can shift the blame for their failures onto the actions of the people participating in them#anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk#my posts

hopeless time loop. the way out isnât to save everyone. the way out isnât to save even one person. the way out isnât to change anything. the way out is accepting how it happened the first time is how it always will be. thatâs how you acted, thatâs how they acted, thatâs how you would have acted every time if you werenât given the curse of hindsight. the way out is accepting you canât fix the past; you can only forgive yourself for it.
#there's this game i love called little hope that plays with these ideas (though not with a time loop)#i do love time loops narratives that explore how a person is confronted with their life and their choices#when forced to live the same day over and over again#and i LOVE time loops that try to reverse mistakes made and lives lost#but to see a character put themselves through loops upon loops upon loops#trying to rectify past mistakes (especially in the case where people died) only to be confronted with the reality it isn't working#and even in a loop where they save everyone the loop just resets#because the universe is essentially saying 'no that isn't how it happened and you know that's not how it happened'#it compels me!#i feel similarly about time travel where time 'fights back'#like this idea that there is a central timeline that time does not like being diverted from#so it will try to course correct itself#you save lincoln from an assassination only for him to die in a train crash#it's a cool way to confront the idea of fate#anyway all tragedies are hopeless time loops thank you for coming to my ted talk#a shout into the void#1k#5k#10k

aaa games: we have some of the most CUTTING EDGE character customization options for you!! you can't make them fat tho, only cause we'd have to design more clothing models and adjust the animation for them and we just don't have the resources for that haha you understand right. that's totally the only reason we don't let you do that. anyways which of these 6 cocks would you like your character to have
#im noticing a pattern sfdjkfsdjkl#this isn't about just one game in particular but i did just start bg3 so that one's fresh in my mind#cyberpunk2077 also did it#please don't start a debate on this silly vent post im begging you im just a lil guy#fatphobia#aaa games#aaa game industry#getting to choose the genitals is all well and good but like. priorities maybe?#anyway this has been my ted talk. back to playing abs mcgee we go

I swear to god, every time I read "your bladder and bowels empty when you die," I feel like curb stomping a kitten.
No.
Your muscles stop working. If you're actively contracting a sphincter muscle to hold in your urine or feces while you're alive, then yeah, some portion is probably gonna come on out to party once that muscle stops contracting.
If not? What the hell do you think is going to force them out? Most people cannot defecate on command on a good day, using all of their abdominal muscles (for real, tho, ask the makers of Ex-lax and Metamucil). If those abdominal muscles aren't working and there is no pressure built up from actively holding it in? lolNO
Maybe a little drizzle. A little poozle. A little drippy drip.
The foretold excremental explosion is not going to happen unless you JUMP ON THE DECEASED'S BELLY. Good luck with that.
Source: I working in a fucking anatomy lab and have spent too many hours of my life trying to prevent poop explosions and siphoning bladders dry with turkey basters to keep entertaining this nonsense.
#actual helpful writing tips#anatomy and physiology are hard#because it's all everyday shit#pun intended#but we rarely think too deeply on it#cuz it's full of shit#anyway I blame South Park for popularizing this#But the time for it to die was yesterday#Thank you for coming to my TED talk

You are everything I aspire to be
If parenting has taught me anything, it is the importance of getting down on your hands and knees and teaching not just facts, but love and enthusiasm for the natural world.
This is my son Q and me. I have dozens of photos like this by now, even though he is just two years old.
Every chance I get, I will kneel down with him and show him the little creatures all around us. Especially when they are frogs. He loves frogs for some reason. No idea why.
It is important that we all see this together. It is beautiful. It is magnificent. We are here. It is improbable to the highest degree. It is fleeting, but it is everything we get. And we can get so, so much of it. If we just get our faces into it and really absorb it.
So that's what l'm trying to do here, I guess. Get all of you to join me in the reeds. And I am so happy to have so many of you along for the journey.
#tumblr#lifestyle#advice#life#nature#animals#answers by mark#anon#anonymous#yes the tumblr scientist named his child Q what of it#also you should not aspire to be me#or like me#at all#I am a hot mess#totally chaotic and extremely stressed#months behind on my emails#and badly overcommitted#but of course when all you see are cute frogs I understand why you would feel that way anon#just letting you know that I am struggling just as much as the next person#though of course as a very privileged person it is substantially different than most#my troubles are largely of my own making#anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk
