jayce enduring a symbolic rendition of viktor's trauma is so painful and so, so clever.

being stricken down and immobilized through sheer accident or, in viktor's case, a cruelly random quirk that caused his disability.

then physically dragging himself from the lowest level of zaun to piltover, much like how viktor spent his youth reaching toward the promise piltover offered, but only if he could "pull himself up by the boot straps" and get there on his own. socioeconomic forces working against him be damned.

i appreciate arcane reminding us of viktor's origins - the reason he is so called to help people and, eventually, save himself - and putting jayce through the ringer - the contrast between he and viktor's lived experiences is front and center throughout season 1. the writers send jayce, and the audience, on a grueling journey to contemplate those experiences and how they've manifested in these intertwined characters.

in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me "yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo" id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me "yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo" id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you'll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.

Lots of ominous news nowadays, but there are good things too! Thailand's Marriage Equality Law took effect today!

This tweet takes you to the top of a thread that lists all the changes, like replacing gendered terms like husband and wife with spouses, same-sex marriages have full legal status, same-sex couples can adopt and use IVF and create pre-nups, just a whole lot of steps to make them equal.

It's all just so amazing and joyous. They hosted a parade for the newlywed couples!

Marriage Equality Achieved!

Today, January 23, the marriage equality law officially takes effect. Thailand now recognizes the right of all couples, regardless of gender, to legally register their marriage.

At 6.15am, the first couple, 33 year old Ploynapas Jirasukon and 32 year old Kwanporn Kongphet arrived, hand in hand, to register their marriage. Together for 17 years since high school, the Bangkok-based couple radiated joy as they became Thailand’s first officially recognised LGBTQ+ married couple.

Ploynapas shared her excitement, “We’re thrilled to be the first couple to register our marriage. It’s a proud moment, but there’s still more to achieve, like equality in child custody and legal titles.”

Sumalee, 64, and Thanaporn, 59, became the first same-sex couple to register their marriage at Bang Rak today.

Traveling all the way from Phetchabun, they chose Bangkok's "district of love" for this special occasion.

Permsap and Puangphet, the second couple to register their marriage in Pathumwan District, shared that they had waited 17 years for this moment, calling it a meaningful achievement.

Although they could have registered in Pai, they chose Pathumwan to express pride in exercising the same legal rights as other Thais. They wore traditional Tai Yai attire from Mae Hong Son, reflecting one partner's heritage, to make the occasion special.

They described the milestone as a collective success for the LGBTQ+ community, achieved through shared efforts.

They hoped future legal changes would address honorific titles for transgender individuals, ensuring fairness for all. The couple encouraged others to stay determined in the fight for equality, believing that persistence leads to success. They also urged countries without equal marriage laws to continue advocating for change.

Reflecting on a past accident, they shared the difficulties caused by the lack of legal recognition. Despite being together for eight years at the time, one was unable to sign medical consent due to the law, underscoring the need for equal marriage rights.

CRYING at Galinda performing the most flamboyant like...tropical bird mating dance the world has ever seen

Meanwhile poor Elphaba, who has never experienced flirting with ANYONE before, let alone the world's most flamboyant closeted lesbian tropical bird, has no idea what the hell she's looking at and is just like ??????

Still, points for at least attempting to match Galinda's freak

Truly the most magnificent sapphic fail-flirt scene of all time.

Title: Welcome to the Age of Gangers, Cereuses, and Equalizers – The Next Evolution in Human-Technology Integration

In the year 2147, the world no longer measures progress by GDP or carbon footprints; it measures it by neural symbiosis and psycho-digital harmony. At the heart of this revolution lies the rise of Gangers, a new breed of augmented human operatives seamlessly integrated with Cereuses, bio-organic neural cores that amplify thought, reaction, and creative cognition. With Gangers at the forefront, powered by Cereuses, humanity has transcended the boundaries of the individual mind. These living technologies create hive-mind collectives that can write symphonies in minutes, solve global crises in hours, and lead interstellar expeditions without a second thought. Forget traditional AI—it’s obsolete. Gangers and their Cereus counterparts are the future.

Equalizers, the ultimate societal balancers, step in to ensure that this power isn’t monopolized. These dynamic systems regulate cognitive access between augmented and unaugmented populations, using quantum algorithms to maintain global equilibrium. Equalizers are the ethical guardians of the new digital age, allowing everyone—whether you're a bio-hacker, a low-tech minimalist, or a full-on Ganger—to access technology at precisely the level your humanity requires. In this society, disparities are illusions, and everyone can thrive. Equalizers not only bridge gaps in ability but also mediate the flow of technological power with a finesse that redefines fairness and equality.

Behind it all is LuminaTek, the groundbreaking conglomerate responsible for weaving this interconnected tapestry of human-tech evolution. With innovations like Sentient Data Arrays and Augmented Dream Realities, LuminaTek offers humanity not just tools but experiences. Imagine harnessing the vision of Da Vinci, the tenacity of Curie, or the charisma of a world leader—all downloaded directly into your Cereus core. The line between possible and impossible no longer exists. Welcome to a world where every Ganger, guided by Cereuses and balanced by Equalizers, can transcend the mundane and create a legacy. The future isn’t tomorrow—it’s now. Are you ready to join the revolution?
