i love when a feedee is obviously a little dumb… like, awww you really couldn’t stop, could you?? no wonder you’re so big. did the thought to stop eating ever cross your mind, or did you just finish everything on your plate because that’s what you were always told to do? did you even realize your portion sizes were getting bigger, too? i bet you get a little mad when people point out how much you’re eating. of course it’s not your fault, you didn’t know any better..

stupid feedees that have to be told they’re out of control. they think they’re not even that big yet

honestly i think a lot of us should consider getting involved in local republican primaries and conventions and stuff to get less cartoonishly evil people into the party. i mean if we're stuck with a two-party system anyway, i feel like it'd be in our best interest to try and defang the worse party, instead of only pushing the vote-blue-no-matter-who angle that's been giving us so many pro-war candidates (or just plain incompetent ones). i mean like pushing from the inside to take face-eating leopard stuff off the platforms... we could potentially fumigate the republican party from the inside out if we really dug into it i think.

my extended family has a statistically above-average gay & trans proportion, and what i've gathered from talking to older/more conservative-leaning relatives is that there seems to be a strong and widespread desire to just see some politicians who will decrease/reprioritize the collection and spending of tax money and reeeeally don't like the way the republican party as an organization always tries to bundle that with attacking queer freedom... the same way i (and many of you i hope) hate the way the democratic party seems to have been bundling promises of various minority protections with drone strikes on the middle east. it would probably be worthwhile to find local politicians and movements that want to get the anti-queer stuff off of the local/county republican platforms before it can spread out to the state or national levels. i really believe the true frothing hatred of the biggest names is a vocal minority... like, in my experience, people in real life really are just like "how's it going man" more often than not. i think there's an untapped potential for a powerful bipartisan de-zealotification.

of course we should be doing the same for the left too, but i really don't think the solution for a two-party system is to just make it a one-party system instead by only showing up every two or four years to vote blue down the ballot and then stop thinking about it the rest of the time. no i don't have all the solutions or the perfect battleplan; this push would look different for every household in every city in america, because this country is so diverse and so are its issues... i just think we should be taking the shaka zulu approach of tackling the system from both sides instead of just throwing ourselves against the left flank only.

In all seriousness though, did you pull something? It'd definitely be easy enough, especially with all the hardware you have to move between locations. Eugh

rotating mark in my mind. said he prefers to be chasing instead of out in front, prefers to have his back against the wall, be put on the defensive instead of ever having the chance to go on the offensive…. he was the losing dog we were betting on all along. martyr complex goes crazy but i think he literally doesn’t know any other way to be

Saiguu is just sitting on a log in Chinju Forest after fighting some Abyssal monsters, She's not doing too well.

"..."

Saiguu silent sits there with her ears flat against her head, luckily or unluckily, She has fought them before so she's not too injured...just a few scrapes.

I think one of the (many) reasons I like Invincible so much is also part of why I love the Spiderverse films and certain other superhero media. It's not afraid to be a comic book. It doesn't reject what it doesn't like, it holds onto the stupid and the weird with just as much love as the cool bits.

It doesn't overly rely on using technology and science to explain everything, it doesn't take itself too seriously. Like, it's guys in spandex. That's the thing we love. Why would you try to take that away to become "high art" or whatever. Clones, multiverse, time travel, dumb names, bad quips. Those are all very integral (I mean I literally just described Spidey on accident) and taking them away because you don't like them is so dumb.

At this point, with the Night Springs DLC having come out and how i've felt about Jesse's chapter and Coffee World and the overall (under) usage of named NPCs from the AW2 canon, I keep thinking....

I feel the Cult of the Tree lost all its narrative purpose and emotional impact due to FBC involvement. The Cult and the Koskelas might have well been some random unnamed NPC Cult Leaders or heck, they might as well have been replaced by a sentient lamp and their relevance and impact and the outcome would've been the same. It could've been some other random murder case that would've attracted Saga and Casey's attention to BF for how little pay-off we got for the Cult arc. The final 'wrap-up' if you will, is totally missable and optional. At this point, nobody even cares anymore that the Cult were actual the good guys all along.

Even Remedy seems to have forgotten about the whole Cult arc and the Koskelas as characters and I feel the fandom even mirrors that in some waysthere

I know literally nobody cares about physics in a fantasy setting but i do. Let's talk about murr's notes from one of his cards.

Ok let's go

Constellations on the left, i wonder what he named them? And I'll assume planets orbiting on the right? Very interesting. What other astronomical objects are there besides earth and moon in mhyk world? I wanna know tell me

ATOMS! oh my gooood, i wonder how far atoms as a concept have already been explored. There's so much to them. This model (called the bohr model fyi) shows the very stererotypical way most people know an atom, with a nucleus in the middle and electrons orbiting it. It's not true! It's outdated. That's not what electrons do. What we know about electrons is that we don't know what they even exactly do. This isn't because science is lazy but because it is physically impossible to do so (see heisenberg uncertainty principle). Instead we have orbitals, which are 3d spaces and basically a guess at where the electrons are most probably likely to be at. Mr Hart do you know what an orbital is??? This is what orbitals look like btw

you gotta imagine like. All these shapes overlaying eachother btw. That's what an atom looks like. Kinda.

Now onto the next:

The way stuff is written down is convincing me differential equations potentially exist there. I feel the "!?" next to the cube there on a spiritual level, Muru. It's okay you'll survive it i'm sure.

Hmmm....a damped oscillation, i guess? Not much to say. It sure is a damped oscillation.

IS THAT A FUCKING POTENTIAL WELL (physics exam nightmare flashbacks)

Jokes aside, this is a potential well! (Or so is my guess). Again, this is not what irl looks like tho, outdated. This is what irl looks like:

Lennard jones potential!

And now. My question to Mr Hart is. Why is there a dashed line mirroring the diagramm??? What's that brother??? Anti mass??? Idk

There's something I appreciate about how Sy doesn’t get referred to as having a “real self” outside of how he acts under Wyvern. When he's low on Wyvern he doesn't think of it as being closer to his true personality. Conversely when he's full up on Wyvern he doesn't see his low-formula state as not his true self, he just sees it as himself without the sharpness he values. Even though Wyvern is obviously integral to his identity, its not treated as a measure of how "Sy" he is at any given moment. Its kind of refreshing given how that stuff is usually treated.

There's a persistent idea people often default to when discussing mental states: the idea of a true, integral personality that can be revealed or buried. You'll hear people say patients aren't themselves when depressed, that treatment brings them back to who they "really" are. A lot of our decisions on patient autonomy for those with mental or neurological disorders involve dismissing what people are saying in the moment for what their true self would want: "you only gave a DNR order because you were depressed," "you would want help getting better if you were in your right mind," etc. On the other side, Parkinson's patients will sometimes not take medication they have access to in order to avoid not feeling like themselves. Identity, mental health and psychiatric medications have a complicated relationship that so often gets boiled down to "this is making people lose who they are!" in genre fiction, so its pretty neat to see a more nuanced perspective on it.

birfday gift ideas

my baby brother turns 18 tomorrow (aw/ ew) and i have like 24 hours to come up with something if anything (i have till like the 30 it dont matter lol) but id like to ask anyway what yall think?

last year i gave him a keychain (twas a matching set of tanjiro and nezuko lol) but every year before its always been handmade cards (he surprised me with a cute gon keychain once it was sweet). anyway

i have lots of thread but very little time so out of all the options id say its my best shot bc watercolours are HARD and i cant draw anything outside of the same 2 blorbos i always do lmao

shopping for stuff isnt exactly feasible either (exams soon also im lazy) so id rather invest an hour or two for something thats going to collect dust on his desk so i can tell his future grandkids i was a good older sister whereas he would eat my food and make me walk uphill barefoot both ways everyday in the cold to go to the kitchen.
