This has probably been discussed to death before ... but what is the symbolism behind Envy having his Ouroboros tattoo on his thigh and Wrath on his eye?
It probably has, though tbh I've never really read any theories/meta about it.
I think some of the places are symbolically related in some way to the sin (Lust's on her cleavage, Gluttony's on his tongue), but I ALSO think that a bit of it is that every homunculus needed one in a visually distinct place and you're going to run out of places that have some kind of symbolic meaning.
I think Envy's is mostly a visual/aesthetic choice. The placement ties into their outfit design and is unique to them, but doesn't really have any deeper meaning (at least, that I can read into it.)
With Wrath, I think it's both unique AND makes for a fun visual reveal when we first see King Bradley's eyepatch removed.
I'm sure someone COULD read something more meaningful into it, but I honestly don't. I think it's more about visuals/the cool reveal.
But interesting question! Thanks for asking! :) If anyone else has some other thoughts, let me know

What do you think is John's most human trait 🌝
Arthur. Absolutely Arthur.
I tried to think of a more nuanced answer but the rough definition of humanity was staring me in the face as well as Arthur's emotional turmoil.
(Also I'm so sorry I took so long to answer this. I wanted to have a little think over to answer this question, but then I forgot about it for a bit. oops.)

Btw some time ago i got into a discussion with one guy about what humanity means. And he said something along the lines of 'humanity is kindness and empathy'. And like, I guess? But it's not only for humans! Our empathy and kindness are the same as other animals! We're not special!

thinking about the arkham series again and how i actually just adore that 3 games are about arkham as a philosophical concept and an entity, as an answer to "what should be done to criminals" and a powerbase. and how it reflects the beliefs of those who created it.
then arkham dies in City. the idea of arkham comes to its natural, intended, solution. bombed to ash, the problem it was built to solve barely impacted in the long run. a failure of its whole philosphy.
Then Knight rolls around and in marches in jason, arkhams final victim and the only remaining shard of it, the symbol on his chest and arkham in his name. and he brings his own whole philosphy to it all, a much more personal and visceral thing.

I personally enjoy fight club because it’s very interesting to watch the physical and mental self destruction of person trying to find a purpose in life when they don’t desire the typical traditional american ideal life. To see the descent into delusion.

I have been trying for days to find a topic for the "paper" I need to turn in for this Philosophy of History course on Friday, and I got nothing.
I so intensely dislike this subject you cannot imagine.

Sometimes I find a YouTube video recommended to me and I'll like the idea of it but something will bother me, but it feels wrong to really hate the video for it. In this scenario, the video was about the infantilization of women. And like nothing said was really wrong but it just felt odd to make it a woman issue, the things mentioned. Things like people using phrases like adulting because it's a digestible way for millennials (in this case that's what she was referring to and the studies she references uses) to approach being an adult because things like finances and milestones are harder to hit now.
This lines up. I fully do think that the growing lack of ownership and wages not reflecting the growing price of living has caused a phenomena like this, but I kept considering how this isn't just a woman issue. If this is happening it's affecting literally every young adult - adult alive in the west right now. But like the premise and title is about women so who am I to be bugged by it.
Y'know? It isn't like the YouTuber is really obligated to talk about men going through similar mindsets.

tbh the best part of being part of a family that knows no chill is that I just had a philosophical discussion on whether or not chatgpt understands humans with a professional in AI and a psychology phd/phd student duo and even managed to throw in my two cents from the second year linguistics student perspective
what I'm trying to say is that we're all maxxing our skills in One Thing
which makes for Great discussions where we all have just Soo much to contribute
