For instance, it only appears for a few sentences (their meaning explained if needed), otherwise the fic is english. I'm just curious (once again).
And no, I don't exactly mean the more known languages, I mean the more obscure ones.

there's this weird phenomenon that happens in academia and some arts careers and stuff where people who are in them seem very reluctant to give advice to people outside them or how to get there, and this is read as elitism and not wanting to help others, but actually 90% of the time it's the people inside being so fucking burned out and disillusioned by their careers that they don't feel they can responsibly give other people advice on how to sell their souls. but they also know if they say "don't do it, it'll suck", the people they're talking to won't listen, because they were once that person, and people told them, and they didn't listen. so they just don't say anything. and they grimly witness other people jumping through the same hoops they jumped through, or trying to, and they feel they cannot in good conscience help drag the hoops down to ground level because when you get through them, the other side is worse. but. this is not how it looks from the outside

metaphor
i think she’s cheating on me with lady death
maybe i’ll be enough if i hold my breath
if i turn blue, it’s all for you
i don’t mean to cause no extra stress
wish i could worry bout this less
but i’m scared you’ll leave with lady death
and i’ll never beat her
‘cos i know that the peace she promises you is sweeter
than anything i’ll ever give,
just a sweet word repeater
just hoping if i’m positive enough, i’ll defeat her
and i’m competing for attention
i’m trying to ignore the tension
and every time i even mention intentions of our reinvention
she’s showing up to co-sign my bad decisions
i hope you listen ‘cos i
i think you’re cheating on me with lady death
maybe i’ll be enough if i hold my breath
if i turn blue, it’s all for you
i don’t mean to cause no extra stress
wish i could worry bout this less
but i’m scared you’ll leave with lady death

The different religions are the variations of shippers
I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but in my head, it makes a lot of sense. Sorry it's so long, and for the bad english, it's not my first, or second, language
I'M NOT SAYING THAT ALL PEOPLE WHO PRACTISE THESE RELIGIONS ARE LIKE THIS OR SHIP THESE SHIPS, IT'S JUST FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
Christianity (both catolicism and orthodoxy) - the people who ship the straight canon ship of the series. On every type of platform, you can find at least one person who roots for them and actively supports and defends it. Most of these types of people are very offended when someone doesn't ship it and starts to A. Start defending its honore stating that since it's canon, it's the only valid ship. Or B. Threaten the person who doesn't ship it. Anyone who has something bad to say about this ship is deemed a hater and is ostracized from the community. Because the ship has a lot of shippers, some interpret the ship in other ways, which creates tension inside the community, so generally, there are two sides of the ship, with different fancanons and interpretations.
Muslimness- people who ship the "problematic" ship. The ship isn't actually problematic and can be very wholesome if you look at the actual story, but someone at some point did something problematic with these characters or was just a very vocal shipper who did something bad (like that comic of Childe and Ganyu) and now every person who even barely supports it is deemed problematical and a bad person. Receive unreserved hate and are attacked a lot for something they didn't do.
Buddhism ( I don't know a lot about buddhism, so I'm sorry if I get it wrong)- people who ship the side pairing. They are just along for the ride, and even though they don't get as much screen time and attention from the fan base, as the main ship. They just enjoy it as it is, creat fanart and other things in peace, and generally don't get in a lot of debates even when people attack them.
Paganism - the multi-shippers. They don't understand the need for ship wars and drama surrounding one ship becoming canon while another doesn't. In both scenarios, a ship they like gets attention, so a win-win situation. Some do have OTPs and are even happier when they become canon or get attention, but aren't super sad if they don't. Over all they just enjoy creating fan art , but sometimes someone will start attacking them for "betraying" one ship for another and accusing them of all sorts of things, like liking pro-ships or other problematic ships. In some cases, it may be true, but generally, it's total bullsh*t.
Atheists - people who don't ship. They either don't get the need for romance or just don't see the appeal in it. They may get attacked for this, but they honestly couldn't care less for ships. Some are very rude and say stuff to people who do support ships, canon or not, that it's pointless and disgusting to ship fictional characters and a lot of other mean stuff.
Old religions/small religions - people who ship the rare pairs. Not a lot of content, but they appreciate every piece. Some ships are more popular than others, of course, but are generally pretty obscure with a lot of fanon interpretations to make up for the lack of it in canon. Some of the more popular ships will try to erase any content the ship does have or twist it to make it problematic, platonic, or centred around their ship.
Not sure for the other religions or types of shippers, if you have any thoughts or corrections please say them without insults.
This post came by when I was explaining what being a pagan means to a frien, and I used being a multi-shipper as a comparison, and it spiralled from there.
Yes, I am pagan, but I was raised as an orthodoxy christian, so I'm sorry if I got anything wrong for the other religions.

Personally I think Ody already knew Eury opened the wind bag, initially bc there's just something about his tone and the way Ody cut him off in the beginning of Puppeteer that felt... deliberate? But it's also mirrored in Scylla and Mutiny
It's just a little thing in Scylla but when Eury first tries to confess in Puppeteer Ody gives him a task instead "go check out the island" vs "light up six torches" instead of talking about it, like he's avoiding it
But more prominently is "whatever you have to say can wait some more of this I'm sure" sounds to me like "don't tell me. If you don't tell me we can pretend I don't know and I don't have to do anything about it. Lie to me (by omission)" vs Eury's "tell me you did not know that would happen" and "then you have forced my hand" while said in anger can also totally be ready similarly. I've already seen others talk about how he was basically begging Ody to lie to him so like, "lie to me so I don't have to do anything about it" again
(whether or not Eury would've been able to play along, assuming he did want that, I don't know, and ig we'll never know)
Also Ody's total lack of reaction. Sure Scylla had "leaving them feeling betrayed" but having it said out loud could still sting. It could also be a "I thought we had a deal to not talking about that" type betrayal.
Anyway many thoughts head full

DP x DC Prompt: The Watchlist
Batman has a watchlist. A list that contains every individual who could become a rouge and a contingency plan for if they did.
And while they, his children, often make fun of his paranoia and him for having it, they totally understand why he did. They lived in Gotham, for Christ's sake. Where everyone’s just a pin drop away from being the city’s next big villain, forcing the bats to scratch their heads while playing cat and mouse with a sicko for a good few weeks. And while they won’t admit it, the list has helped them a few times.
But that won’t stop them from making fun of any of the list’s new developments. Because you see, there was a new list. And it wasn’t just a watchlist. No, no, no. It was The Watchlist.
It was a new development after he and Robin went on an out-of-state mission to investigate some town in bum fuck nowhere Illinois. And it was under some pretty tight security as well, so they were expecting something good, like mad scientists or evil mayors. Not profiles of the kids who lived in the town. And while there were a few metas and vigilantes that made the list interesting, by the end of it all they just seemed to be teenagers.
Until they saw Damian. They hadn’t seen him since he came back from the mission with B. He looked tired. Like ‘Tim hasn’t slept in a week and is surviving on just coffee beans’ tired.
“Ah, I see you all have found it. Good. A few of them will be arriving next week as they’re a part of Gotham Academy’s student exchange program. At least three of them will be staying in the manor with us. Father will need you all to be on standby and to be ready for any possible scenario. Please, for the love of all that is good, do not encourage them in any way, shape, or form. And please do not dismiss them either. The outcome of doing that will be much worse. Is there more that I should add? Yes. Will I? No, because you won’t understand. Not until you've seen what I have.”
The demon child sighed, then looked them dead in the eyes. “Godspeed to us all.” Then walked away.
Okay, they were scared now.
