past dm with daniel getting his memories back in reverse after he's turned... or actually maybe just the awful shit first— the terror of being chased, the frustration and misery and delirium, the ugly screaming fights, the wanting to be free of armand's hold on him. only the horror and the running away and the addiction. daniel chases his maker for answers, and out of anger and curiosity; each time he catches up their meetings get longer before armand inevitably flees, and daniel wants to be close to him, the desire getting stronger and stronger with every encounter. then the sweeter memories start to drip through.

whatever they had was always fucked up in numerous ways, of course it was, but it wasn't always completely terrible. daniel gradually remembers nights on the couch together watching films, feeling safe walking the streets with him, playful arguments and philosophical debates so involved they lost track of time, the weight of a locket around his neck, the spring breeze on an island, hot blood in his mouth, cool hands on his skin, being held down and held close, welcoming the fangs against his throat, bodies tangled together. "beloved." how badly daniel wanted it all to last forever; immortality by armand's side.

and that fucks him up worse than the terror armand inflicted upon him and the erasure of all those years of his life; the violations of his mind and body. he knows he once fell in love with something so awful, so evil. and now, joined by an unbreakable thread, knowing everything's armand's done to him and to others, spending so much time trying to figure him out, daniel is afraid it's happening again

anyway the tusken massacre cannot be a genocide because anakin lacks the necessary mens rea, which would have been killing the encampment with the intent of systematically eliminating all or a substantial part of tusken raiders as a whole on the basis of their race or ethnicity, whereas his actual mens rea is to kill all the perpetrators and bystanders involved in his mother's torture and death

you cannot use his speech afterwards to prove mens rea as mens rea and actus reus must be contemporaneous. his speech, again, demonstrates an intent to kill *all* of the people residing in the place his mother was tortured and killed, not *all* tuskens, a very important distinction

genocide is a very serious term referring to a very specific type of generally state sanctioned crime against a particular group of people to eliminate them

Love the first four portrait-style reveals we get in Act 4.

I find it very interesting that the first four we see interacting with the humans are all Prospit Dreamers.

Something something, had the foresight to take part in this trolling campaign?

What I like about Rockman.exe is that. they push the notion that Netto is the wild card between the two so much, right, like he's the classic loud, reckless kid who jumps out of windows and runs into radiation on purpose. so, next to the sweet and mild-mannered Rockman, he's gotta be the crazy one of the two, right?

Except at every turn, Rockman proves time and again to be WAY more susceptible to unhinged behavior than Netto could ever be

And to his credit, the stuff with Dark Rockman and the Cybeast forms were caused by external factors, even if it still adds to a narrative pattern that I'm very invested in. But the part in the manga where he tears a navi apart with his bare hands was 100% pure Rockman rage, and Netto has to be the one to tell him not to give in to it while he's strangling his evil double in the background

The best way I can think to explain it is that Netto is a consistent level of insane across the board regardless of the situation, while Rockman switches rapidly between the extremes of being Actually Normal and needing to be physically restrained to stop his bloodlust. And truly, who else is doing it like them

I have made a crucial discovery

bella DOES drink water (at least when she wakes up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth and a headache)

our healthy glowing goddess Isabella Marie Swan!!! drinking water to get rid of a headache instead of taking tylenol.

thoughts on Crow's character being reduced into Uldren-but-not-quite? I'm not happy with these past few weeks of dialogue, I feel like suddenly everyone treats Crow as just the guy that did those horrible things, and this week he's also taking responsibility for those actions *he did not take*. sure, his corpse did it, but wasn't a whole year of storyline based around the fact that Crow and Uldren are separate persons? why is every other character acting like none of that ever happened?

I don't think he's really being blamed for those things, it's more that he now has those memories and reacts to them in a distinctly Crow way. He's the type to take the responsibility for those things, even though it wasn't really him, but he remembers it all so in his mind, it's his problem.

It's actually a fairly complicated issue that is unique to Crow: how should Guardians who fully remember their past behave? Crow decided to make amends for things that his "past self" did, even though it's not him, because he remembers it so vividly and it bothers him. This doesn't mean that other people are pushing it on him; they're clearly not. Petra has numerous lines where she tells him that nothing Uldren did is on him, and so do other people. So I'm pretty sure they're not acting like it didn't happen, given that everyone is often reassuring him that he's not being blamed for Uldren.

But for Crow, he remembers doing those things. He didn't do them, but he remembers them and it bothers him. It's probably exceptionally difficult to think of yourself as not that guy when you have that guy's life in your head. I don't think people often consider how this must feel for Crow. He wasn't just told what Uldren did. He was given the full package directly into his head. Uldren's deeds aren't stories to Crow, they're effectively his life. A life of a stranger, but his life nonetheless.

Obviously, they could've gone with not giving him his memories back. But since they did, I think that Crow's behaviour (especially given how compassionate he is) makes sense. He remembers those things as his own, even though they're not his own, but he feels like he should be making amends for them. I think that's the crucial part of his arc; he knows what Uldren did, he acknowledges that it wasn't him, he KNOWS it wasn't him, but nobody else will make those amends and nobody else is working to fix those wrongs, so he feels responsible to do it.

That doesn't mean that the story is suddenly about Crow = Uldren; it's not. It's about Crow's choice. Crow isn't Uldren, but he's choosing not to ignore their connection even if he would be completely accepted if he did ignore it. I think that's what gives Crow's story an element worth exploring.

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

About MDZS and who is its narrator

It just occurred to me why there might be a wide-spread confusion in the fandom about who narrates Mo Dao Zu Shi.

Astute readers have been banging pots and pans from the roofs telling everyone that it is told in a 3rd person omniscient POV, with many instances where we're being made aware of the thoughts and feelings of other characters, and happenings for which Wei WuXian was absent.

Yet, the confusion persists (in large part because this is how Internet works, the posts repeating that confusion and analysing the text from this postulate get more notes, are seen by more people) and I think I know why.

The thing is, a 3rd person omniscient POV might evoke a narrator whose voice is clearly felt, is firmly outside of the narrative, and should take us through multiple points of views most of the time, I guess? But MDZS's narrator is very discreet, understated. Hence people can more easily miss that they're being addressed by it and not hearing about some character's thoughts. Moreover, it might confuse people, I suppose, that a 3rd person omniscient narrator could still have a limited POV. Here, the narrator does choose to focus on Wei WuXian most of the time, and deliberately leaves out key POVs like Lan WangJi's, in order to draw the reader in, maintain suspense, unfold the story and events a certain way, and afford us the occasion of reading many things between the lines.

I reckon that's where the confusion stems from. It's not because it is omniscient that it won't be deliberately narrow. That's the only way to tell a compelling story, by following a key character most of the time, and only telling us what we need to know for maximum impact upon reveals. And since Wei WuXian is uniquely focused on Lan WangJi (me too, to be honest), and Lan WangJi's is the most guarded POV of the story because this is a romance, and he's the love interest, I guess this contributes to the overall impression that we are only in Wei WuXian's head.

But we aren't, and a lot of the times we are also left to infer Wei WuXian's feelings as well.

One of the lines that I find funniest in the book that illustrate this, is when we follow Jiang Cheng going up the Burial Mounds (and we do follow him, we're not with Wei WuXian waiting for him at the top), and A-Yuan clings to his leg and we're told the child is very loveable, but "unfortunately, Jiang Cheng had no love in him at all" (quoting the Exiled translation from memory). That's the narrator adressing us, not what Wei WuXian thinks, and certainly not how Jiang Cheng would frame himself in his own mind.

We do follow Lan WangJi sometimes, like during the Lotus pods extra and when he encounters Wei WuXian in Yunmeng and is being given flowers by his ghost girls. But if I'm not mistaken, even then we're not privy to his thoughts. This boy is too cute! He's so shy and reserved! I find it delightful that we can read him between the lines in this way.

also I had a breakthrough today that I had in fact overthought a Specific Problem to Death and that I had created a monster in my own mind and that’s why it felt like I was being eaten alive every time I tried to solve it.
