Thinking about the Plants and Vash and how he brings them back from being in their red, dying state and uses his energy to do so--

Considering that it's shown in the last two episodes (the ion cannon being a good example) that Vash is really good with programming knowledge and gave Knives what he needed in order to crash the ships, I bet what Vash is doing is he's reprogramming the Plants to be stable in the desert environment.

Brad and Luida do comment on how they might not like the environment before Vash saves his first Plant (and his eyebrows darken in the process). They may be using more energy than required in order to keep their humans alive, and as a result it burns them out and they can't replenish that energy to keep the ships going.

It could explain why Vash uses up some of his own energy in the process of communicating with them, and why they turn back to blue afterwards. He's using his energy to "input" new code that they need in order to survive, because he's been out in that environment and knows what they need to adapt.

Although, I don't know if he's had to revisit Plants, and as an extension of that, whether or not the programming sticks. That could be something we learn in future episodes, or leave up in the air as a fan theory something-or-other.

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

If you get the Redwall cookbook (and yes it's a thing! I have a copy!), Brian Jaques wrote in the forward that all the fantasy books he read as a kid talked about knights going on grand adventures, then going and having a feast afterwards without saying what they were eating.

As a kid who had to ration food in his childhood (cause War rations were A Thing), he wanted to know what sorts of delicious meals the characters were eating! So he put a ton of detail into the feasts at Redwall so that his readers knew exactly what the characters were feasting on.

(The cookbook is vegetarian-friendly if people want to try to make a Redwall feast of their own -- the only recipes that have anything close to meat would be a soup and a salad made by the otters, because they include shrimp. The recipes are also really simple to put together!)

guys I had this realization the other day that Redwall works really well for reading aloud, and kinda half-remembered something about the author reading to kids? So I looked it up to see if I had made a connection.

And it turns out, yes, actually, because he read aloud to kids at a school for the blind. But all the books they gave him to read were depressing. So he wrote Redwall, a story about heroism and courage and making it through struggles, and filled it with so many sensory, visual details so he could give them something better and I just-- that's so wholesome-- help

Give me Dusts that will curl up on top of people like a cat.

Give me Inks who give surprise hugs to his friends.

Give me Ink and Error pulling eachother along by the scarfs.

Give me the gang curling up on Nightmare’s tendrils when he’s not paying attention.

Give me Dream learning about the different meanings behind touch after he breaks out of stone.

Give me Gaster’s who are almost too scared to embrace Sans and Papyrus incase getting out of the void was a dream, and Papyrus accidentally sending him to the floor with his enthusiastic hug.

Give me Undyines randomly carrying their Alphys around.

Give me Frisks who press their forehead onto people (Sans’s back, Papyrus’s thigh, Toriel and Asgore’s arm, Alphy’s side, Undyne hip) and lean on them.

Give me Frisks who randomly lean on people, almost falling over because Chara is a ghost and incapable of being my leaned on.

Give me Dust laying his head on Killer’s lap when Killer gets twitchy, because what’s he gonna do, move Dust?

Give me Ink who uses hand holding like a recalibration test after he goes blank.

Give me hand holding and head pats and hugs and cuddle piles.
