Hello there Thompson, Timber, and Canturbury fans.

[conshirtoe]

I love my little niche:) I’m so glad I found it. It’s small but expansive and I’m excited to learn more about it everyday!

Why should you watch 'The Expanse'? This scene alone:

So my raggedy ass wrote a novel length longfic with Star Wars and The Expanse, in a somewhat pithy attempt to get some folks interested in this amazing show. I even threw in some quick one-shot pieces too. *

But you know what? This battle scene, from one of the first episodes, should sell you on the show itself rather then my story of Ryan-from-Accounting banging Camina Drummer's giggly nerd cousin and the shenanigans that followed.

Strap in, mi beratnas, it's gonna get wild.

Donnager Battle (youtube.com)

The Martian ship, The Donnager, is sleek, futuristic, and its crew is in neat uniforms. But their cadence is calm, easy, even as torpedoes are firing at them. It's like they're going for a grocery run to Trader Joe's, they know what they're doing.

We get to see all different parts of the massive ship, from the brig to the bridge, to say nothing of the crisp graphics and efficient weapons systems. The Martian Navy knows WTF it's doing in a way that is grounded and believable.

How CALM Captain Yao is! Strolling around with her coffee and checking in on her crew as they're firing off missiles and bullets. It's a Tuesday for her. Love seeing this.

The different lightening and the reactions of the captured Canturbury crew let us immediately know they're form different places, with former Martian pilot Alex Kamal knowing EXACTLY what's going on when he hears missiles firing.

THE SUBDUED SOUNDS IN SPACE.

Quick shot of the magboots, keeping the crew member on their feet even as they're in battle.

Effective use of storytelling with an effective use of accurate engineering. We know shit's hitting the ceiling because power is being diverted, and suddenly, gravity is lost, and everyone is starting to float.

The Donnager is a major Martian warship...but that doesn't mean the hulls are impenetrable. Flying debris can take someone out in seconds, seen at 4:45.

SEATBELTS SAVING THE DAY BECAUSE PHYSICS.

Jim Holden has the excuse to grab that gun and escape...but he goes for the downed Martian marine instead to check on him and help out. Confirmed, homeboy was going to be the Himbo Hero of this show.

Trust me, folks...it gets even better after this!

“The Church may have weakened in its effects upon individuals and communities, especially for those who live in large cities, where there is less community life or community pressure. Yet within the Church the emphasis upon male supremacy continues to exist. It is written into the very canons and sacred literature upon which the male religions were built. As Eva Figes so aptly comments, "The church may be dying on its feet, but it will cling to the last to the male exclusiveness which was its raison d'être in the first place."

Yet the memory of the ancient female religion—the Queen of Heaven, the priestesses, the sacred sexual customs—still lingers on in the memory of some of the men who control the Church even today. In The Times (London) on 23 May 1973, an article ap-peared, headed ‘Priestesses, a shift to pagan creeds.’ Once again the ordination of women in the male-controlled church set off the reaction. According to The Times religious affairs correspondent:

A warning that the admission of women to the priesthood in the Church of England would be a subtle shift towards the old pagan religions was given by the Bishop of Exeter, Dr. Mortimer, to the convocation of Canturbury yesterday.

In the old nature religions, he declared, priestesses were common—‘and we all know the kinds of religions they were and are.’ The church has too often adapted to changing conditions in the past, and had to be doubly careful ‘in a sex obsessed culture.’”

picked up something other than iwtv to distract myself from the pain > went for canterbury tales > opened to the physician's tale out of habit bc its my favorite > remembered the physician's tale is about a daughter unjustly tried by a corrupt judge who begs her father to spare her life and then he kills her because he doesn't love her and protect her in the way she needs > put canturbury tales away

ok well I gave my mother an example of the types of conversations that take place in this game and the type of deranged random facts these people have at the top of their heads In Detail. and my mother responded by telling me the prelude to the canturbury tales in middle english. so maybe somebody does talk like this.

btw i started the ass slap puzzle game and i am very quickly learning that if somebody brought me to an escape room id sprawl out onto the floor and cry for the entirety of the time allotted

Rakaia Gorge, Aotearoa New Zealand, looking back on our trip from 2019. On the edge of a milky blue river, the future unclear. The light is reflected off glacial sediment and the surface seems to bulge with the texture of tiny eddies. . . . . . #aotearoanewzealand #eddies #river #newzealand #rakaiagorge #latergram #bluewater #glacial #glacier #southisland #canturbury @docgovtnz #travel #instaphoto #photooftheday #milkywater #glacialriver (at Rakaia Gorge, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXw0vg9ITA-/?utm_medium=tumblr

no actually we're talking about this now can we address how this is the funnest thing to say ever like every single line feels so good in your mouth and like this was written when no one thought that english could be a beautiful language so all poetry and literature was written in like latin or whatever but nah he was like "im gonna write this whole epic in my language" and he did and now its so classic and sure lots of it is vulgar that isn't a sin but. ugh. whan that aprill with his shoures soote the droghte of march hath perced to the roote am i right
