This is apropos of this recent atrocity (dated 17 September 2024):

Al Jazeera is saying that the pagers in the Israeli attack were indeed packed with 20g of explosives and were imported into Lebanese territory five months ago, and Axios says that the decision was made by the Israeli state to detonate the pagers a week ago.

An AOT Rant for a Freshly Finished Season 4, Part 1 Watcher

Alright, it seems like this has become a habit of mine when I can’t seem to expel something from my mind - so here I am, with yet another rant at the end of a devastating arc of story that has drawn me in, probably a bit too much, as per usual - oops! Time to set the tone and listen to the saddest songs from Attack on Titan that literally rip me to pieces now that we’re all the way in season 4! :’D

So big spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t caught up on the Attack on Titan anime! Here’s your chance, turn back now or forever hold your peace!

...

......

.........

Alright, we are definitely going to start at the end of season three because um what the ACTUAL fuck? Did NOT expect some “this is the actual world and you’re just ignorant and underdeveloped” bs. I have too many feelings surrounding this and I definitely want to focus on a season 4 rant more than a season three and prior rant (I should really just a start live streaming this clearly!) but one of many feelings is just shock? Also OUR SWEET BABY ANGELS GOT TO SEE THE SEA but it felt... so sad, like this was a turning point? Like even though they saw the ocean and Armin was just so overcome with joy that he got to experience this with his best friends, I felt so sad :c And it felt very much like so much bullshit had happened that Eren really couldn’t bring himself to even enjoy that moment - WHICH CRUSHES MY SOUL *wheeze* SOMEONE GIVE THIS POOR BOY A HUG-

Buuuut this is about season 4, so we’ll continue with that. Honestly, really wasn’t a big fan of the first chunk of season 4. I was thinking about how much I really couldn’t care less about Marley and all their stupid, ass-hattish bullshit that they put my poor babies through - WE DIDN’T NEED TO LOSE PETRA OR ERWIN BECAUSE MARLEY HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST ELDIANS ALRIGHT YOU GUYS SUCK - so when they came at me with all this fucking bratty Eldian-raised-Marlian crap, I was NOT happy about it. Not a fan of Gabi, didn’t care about the other kids either, really, and I especially wasn’t a fan of the other titans (which...slowly changed, in some ways). It just all had such a bitter taste in my mouth after everything that happened in the previous seasons. Though I admit they did a good job of making me soft for characters I didn’t care for, like I feel terrible for how oppressed the Eldians in Marley are and I get that they don’t have a choice in most of it but it was just a weird place for me. Falco is really a saving grace character in that arc for me.

Also 1000% knew it was Eren as soon as he spoke / appeared. I really was thinking the whole time that he was there on a mission from the Scouts and he kept saying things about his family and I was like oh shit they done infiltrated, they ‘bout to get wrecked. And when shit hit the fan and everything started devolving I had to say - and God I am definitely not proud of it - but like this is how it felt to them in Shiganshina? But simultaneously I felt like a trash can because it just wasn’t like Eren to go so wholeheartedly ape-shit on innocents. (Again, it was a weird time for me - but I guess that was the point x.x) Something felt really weird about the whole thing.

AND BOY WAS I RIGHT BECAUSE WHEN LEVI KICKED HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD I ALMOST SCREAMED - talk about a blindside? I wasn’t expecting him to have gone completely AWOL and start acting on his own!

Won’t lie though... >.>

THIS MAN CAN KICK ME AROUND ANY DAY MY GOD I LOVE LEVI-

AND FUCKING SASHA DUDE IMMEDIATELY CEMEMNTED MY ANNOYANCE AND HATRED FOR GABI - WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY FUELING MY LOVE FOR FALCO BECAUSE HE FUCKING GETS IT, VIOLENCE IS NOT THE KEY

She deserved better, and I will never recover from her death. *Scout Salute*

ALSE WHAT THE SEVEN HELLS IS GOING ON IN ZEKE’S HEAD, SLKDOIRJFEORIJ I WAS SCREAMING OMFG

Anyway, lets fast forward to the last three episodes or I’ll talk for hours and hours. When Eren just straight up showed up in the room with Mikasa and Armin and Gabi in the third to last episode I was like:

BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL HE LOOKING DAMN FINE

SIR DO NOT LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, THAT’S LEVI’S JOB.

Second, WHERE DID YOU EVEN COME FROM- AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!

And here is when I really started spiraling because I was like no its gonna be fine because he’s finally going to get to explain himself and tell Armin, HIS BEST FRIEND, and Mikasa, HIS LITERAL PROTECTOR WAIFU LOVER, why he’s going nuts and acting like a sociopath, and everything’s going to be fine and it’s all going to make sense, and his reasoning will be sound and he and Zeke are actually going to help the Eldians take down Marley and save all the Eldians that are stuck in internment-

BUT OH NO THAT ISN’T WHAT THE HELL WE GET. INSTEAD WE GET PAIN. AND SORROW. AND DEPRESSION. AND MY FUCKING HEART LITERALLY BROKE IN HALF-

MY WHOLE FUCKING HEART ABSOLUTELY SHATTERED BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN MY OTP FOR THIS WHOLE ASS ANIME AND I CANNOT FUNCTION IN A WORLD IN WHICH EREN TRULY HATES MIKASA

AND IF THIS WASN’T BAD ENOUGH THE FUCKING LAST TIME I SEE LEVI, MY HUSBAND, IS GETTING BLOWN TO BITS- *SCREAMS*

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, EVERYTHING IS UNACCEPTABLE!

There are only a few things in this world I cannot handle. Losing my favorite character in a horrible way - I still have hope that Levi is okay, though, he’s an Ackerman after all and I’m fairly certain he’ll survive...I hope so anyway or it’ll be one less reason to finish this anime x_x

Another is taking one of my favorite characters and TURNING THEM AGAINST THE PROTAGS - ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A PROTAG THAT IS BEING TURNED AND TWISTED AGAINST THOSE WHO WERE ONCE HIS/HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS-

HOW CAN YOU HAVE A WHOLESOME ANIME OPENING WITH THEIR CHILDHOOD FRIENDSHIP AND ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILD UP AND THEN FUCKING WRECK ME WITH THAT BULLSHIT IN EPISODE 73 YOU SADISTS-

And so, as a coping method, I have invented a theory :’) Because that is how I must cope for the next two months. You manga readers keep quiet and let me dream, by the way! No confirmation or declines on here! ;P

*jumps into the rabbit hole*

So, Eren, whilst he was living among the Marlians, continuously kept mentioning his family and how he doesn’t think he can face them anymore, and yada yada. And despite everything, the scouts showed up and they were there for him even though they didn’t think it wise. He also made a great point while he was being held captive that at any point, he could break out but he didn’t - very well could have been because he was waiting for the right time, but again, I can hope that he really didn’t want to hurt anyone.

Which leads me to the fact that he HASN’T hurt anyone, not anyone he considered family, friends, or allies - not physically anyway :’) - He very easily could have slaughtered them all and after gaining the support of all the Military he really doesn’t have much standing in his way. So he still cares?

Something else that really, really rubs me the wrong way about this whole thing is how much most of this goes against what Eren believed for so long. Like why the seven hells would Eren want to just slaughter the entire Eldian internment district? Bro, those are your peeps being held captive, they aren’t your enemies! I understand the Marlians, definitely understand that, but the Eldians who’ve done nothing but be oppressed for the last century or so?

Definitely not Eren’s style. And his conversation with Reiner sort of proves that. He talks about how he and Reiner are the same. We see a certain amount of humanity in Eren here, in the beginning of the season while he’s in Marley and that humanity seems near nonexistent when he returns to Eldia/Pardis. It just makes me think that it’s for show even more. His wording is also interesting. “I’ll keep moving forward until I exterminate the enemy.” But what IS the enemy, who is it that he wants to exterminate? The wording conflicts with Zeke’s plan that he’s supposedly going along with because in basically sterilizing all Eldians, is he really “exterminating an enemy?” Just seems a little fishy to me.

On top of all of that, there’s the fact that he has literally done nothing up to this point to show any sort of hatred or resentment towards Mikasa. Nothing but kindness. Nothing but the same amount of devotion she has shown him, Ackerman instinct be damned. It CAN’T be as black and white as what was stated in that episode.

I’m thinking (and hoping and praying to every god in existence because I really just can’t imagine the end of this anime/manga without a redemption arc for Eren) that it’s all a farce, and that he’s acting the way he is because he actually disagrees with Zeke but the only way he can actually accomplish his real goal is to play into Zeke’s hand. It seems so seriously impossible - improbable and frankly unbelievable - that the two people who he loved and cared for most in the whole world mean nothing to him anymore. I think he’s trying to martyr himself. I think that Eren is trying to make himself the villain so that when he inevitably dies (really hope not but I don’t see this ending any other way T.T) the world will see Eldians as a people who overthrew the king and wish for nothing more than peace in the wake of a tyrant.

Honestly, that theory hurts my heart, too, but I really just want to see the good in people. Maybe it makes me naïve. But I have to see the good in people, even fictional people, or I feel like there is no hope. 

[toopunktofuck]

also this might be a little tin-foil hattish but I’ve come to the conclusion the USA has a vested interest in suppressing research on currently known substances for the treatment PTSD. I’m sure it really, REALLY would not go over well with veterans, especially veterans who have dedicated their life after service to protesting the military industrial complex, if it was revealed that medications that have existed since the 1950s and 1960s could be viable, effective, and relatively safe treatments for PTSD. There are NO controlled studies into the medication I take despite one case report outlining a man in his 60s who went into complete remission from PTSD *and alcoholism* after decades of suffering. It very much logically makes sense that anticonvulsants with mood stabilization action could help immensely, however all the research is into newer drug classes. Hmmmmmm.

why is Canada planning to offer medical assistance in dying for PTSD before bothering to do any research on literally any drugs that may help instead

ever since I started the new med I’ve been looking into research re: medication and even polypharmacy for PTSD and there is basically next to no research into anything besides SSRIs. One of the drugs the fucking veterans association of America recommends for PTSD is straight up BANNED IN AMERICA for being hepatotoxic which is especially not great for a population that often has comorbid substance abuse issues.

But medical assistance in dying. Yeah sure. That’s totally the solution instead of researching medications used for other conditions that cause mood dysregulation and doing actual controlled studies on the effective drugs reported in case reports on medicating PTSD.

that's not just a dis to hiddleston either, marvel hair & makeup's been real hit or miss with most of the mcu cast, and for as much money's been spent, a LOT of the wigs, toupees, and hairpieces have all been very party city hair-hattish, hemsworth had the bleached brows moment, etc., but they just didn't really ever have a solid hit with loki yet until recently, and hopefully they let it stick.

[askthemadhatter]

Can I call you Hat?

If I may cite something I once said, from the very beginnings of the blog:

‘What’s in a name?’ Either would do– they’re quite interchangeable! Though, sometimes I feel more Jervish than Hattish. And contrariwise, sometimes I feel more Hattish than Jervish. People change so frequently, becoming many things at once, it can be hard to keep up with it all! So, if it would be your fancy, feel free to call me anything you like– just so long as it isn’t rude, mind you.

Hat, I believe, would fall under that, yes. What matters is intent, in which I feel there is nothing harmful from the name.

[quickchangeartist]

Continual ALMSIVI/Tribunal Temple/general Morrowind bits and pieces, a miscellaneous assortment in no particular order, part one of infinity:

Ayem, as a name, sounds like a fond and familiar sigh from someone who’s very content.

I feel like whether you pronounce Sil as ‘sill’ (like windowsill) or ‘seal’ (like hermetically seal) might say a lot about whether you see Sotha Sil as a visionary or a hermit, and also could say a lot about you in general.

Vehk is a name that is impossible to say correctly without smiling just a tiny bit. With Vivec you have to smile a little bit twice, but less obviously. This feels like something they’d note as purposeful.

There’s room to draw comparisons between St. Roris the Martyr and Sir Thomas More, albeit broad ones.

Someone once remarked that it can be argued that Vivec ‘fucked their way to divinity’ and I have not gone a single day without marvelling at that phrase.

While the Waiting Door of a household can be anything from a humble shelf to an entire room, there’s little said on household shrines to greater and lesser saints, let alone the varieties of local and minor/household saints not granted broader acknowledgement in Temple shrines. In the absence of evidence either way, I would like to posit that these take the form of small hanging artworks painted or burned into wood, with a small right-angled shelf part attached for the holding of candles or upright incense burners.

Balmora had a citywide riot over steep Imperial taxation on local liquors and the Empire’s associated market-flooding with cheap imported brandy. No one talks about this. I really wish people would talk about this. People died.

Shou sugi ban, the Japanese technique of preserving wood via careful burning and oiling, lends itself very well to worldbuilding re: Dunmeri carpentry. Considering the general scarcity of workable wood, it would make sense that preservation and protection from damage (like a wayward fireball from a nearby argument) would be rather important.

I spend a lot of time wondering what became of the Buoyant Armigers, and how the disappearance of Vivec hit them. I hope some are still alive, clustered together somewhere far away from anywhere the Reclamations Temple can reach.

I like the idea of Vivec and Sotha Sil having long talks about the nature of the universe.

I also like the idea of them sending each other gifts. Sotha Sil sends Vivec a gilded device that’s essentially a speech-to-text typewriter. Vivec writes Sotha Sil a poem made in an unusual jumble of meters which, when counted out correctly, reveals a series of numerical codes.

I am also completely convinced that Vivec likes ‘helping’ with experiments while Sotha Sil isn’t paying enough attention to them. Seht needs a little whimsy inflicted upon him every now and then.

Almalexia gives the very distinct sense of being deeply self-critical, which she externalises into need for her worshippers’ adulations. I think this could be something she has in common with Vivec. I wonder if they bonded over this as mortals.

I have Several Thoughts about Almalexia, Vivec and Nerevar, and almost all of them are wildly heretical at best and tinfoil hattish at worst, and likely need their own post

last batch of objtober stuff!! woopie!!!!

[glass-closet]

In your post about cute J2 stories, it has a coffee shop story from an old Tumblr blog called pennyshipswincest. At some point, someone at the gossip com pointed out that there's no coffee shop near the SPN studio where this story could've taken place. Penny later admitted that all of her hattish J2 posts were totally fake and made up, and she admitted she was trolling fandom in an effort to make fun of hats and also make them look crazy. She's since deleted her blog.

Anon 2: I remember the Pisces thing. It’s the con report by who got autograph on Megan’s picture book for her newborn nephew. I believe it’s true story and if memory serves the sources wasn’t anon. It’s so cute story, isn’t it?

Hello, dear anons!

Anon 1, thank you for coming forward with your memories about this user. I hadn’t looked into it any further. Sometimes I’m just saving things that pique my interest and don’t really focus on them, because as cute as some of these stories are, they hold no particular weight regarding my opinion on J2. However, if something is known to be fake, it gets the boot. I removed this screenie from my post now! Thanks again for letting me know. :) I’d rather not have anything that’s known to be false on my blog.

Anon 2, I remember reading the whole thing as well, but I have no idea whose post it was. I find it curious that Jared is interested in and knowledgeable about horoscopes! It’s as though everything that reminds him of Jensen is enough to make him go soft and gooey inside… Not that I blame him. A really cute story indeed!

Thank you both for your messages! I hope your weekends are going fabulously. 

[mrtwistersballoons]

Common sense if you think about it. The former shows that you have learned that what you did was messed up, where as the latter is condescending (read "ass-hattish") toward the individual that was affected. Own up to your mistakes. It's healthier that way.

Word of advice from a man who has made this mistake

“I’m sorry for doing something shitty” goes a lot farther than “I’m sorry if I made you feel shitty”

[j2littleshits-blog]

@maspwinj2

Don’t feel sorry about it I’m already half awake so no problem lol. If everyday some hat fellas can bring me hat talks I don’t need to struggle with my bed before work anymore! Great plan😂

So that Jess I first thought about, was a tinhat who had continued to chat with TAW via twitter DM back in 2014/15 sth. She both did asked him for J2 stuff and personal chitchat with TAW. Later on she attended a SPN con but offended Jensen with her pose request. Maybe it was too shippy, or even overly hattish, which I can’t remember well. She had explained on her blog. She was utterly upset and cried in the con. Later on she received so much hate and deleted her blog(or changed the URL?)

Anyone can back me up with this? I’m really bad at remembering slight details and I don’t have a hat blog back in those days. Now I regret I made this blog so late lol.

Flirting

I have never been good at flirting. There was too much risk, and it was completely unpredictable. For someone who loves control as much as I do, flirting is about as threatening as jumping out of an airplane high above the clouds. 

I had no game, everyone said so. My seduction techniques included puns, self-deprecating humor, and random facts about historical topics no one cared about. Hell, what’s sexy about that? Nothing, I know. But it was all I had. 

To be honest, I hated small talk, and flirting is basically the Olympics of small talk. I had seen people in bars fight for the gold, classmates win a bronze, and a a whole team cheering on the guy who got the phone number. I was the one watching at home, wondering how they developed the skills to get there.

My form of flirting, after so many failed attempts, was to just give small looks and glances in the hopes that the other person noticed and made the first move.The success rates were 0 and counting.

So when she returned my gaze and smiled, I didn’t know what to do. I hadn’t ever made it that far before! I decided to smile back, and returned to the teacher evaluation form we were forced to fill out. It was probably just her being nice. I told myself. 

Minutes later, after giving Mrs. Hattish my sealed evaluation, I exited the classroom and pressed the button for the elevator to take me back down to earth. As the door opened, she appeared at my side. “How do you know so much about the moon landing?”

[lih67]

For the Anon Ask

I got an anon asking me why I tagged my Danneel post of her selling FBBC merc at the nolacon as #j2fencesitter. For some reason I can't post my answer.

I like to keep anything to do with D, Gino, and the Grauls and the FBBC under one tag. Since I do give what hats say about this situation some consideration I used that tag. So is D and Gino selling FBBC merc at nolacon specifically hattish? Maybe. Maybe not. Idk right now. Its easy for me to remember if I need to pull up that post again though.

[askthemadhatter]

Hey!! I think you're really cool I like you a lot Maybe we can hang out or something ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ah! That would be a lovely change of pace! Arkham does accept visitation: friends and relations, you know. Supervised, but I suppose one must ‘like what they get’ in these sort of cases.

…If it isn’t too much trouble to request, I would also appreciate a good cuppa with the visit. Please and thank you. As you can imagine, tea is rather hard to come by.

‘What’s in a name?’ Either would do– they’re quite interchangeable! Though, sometimes I feel more Jervish than Hattish. And contrariwise, sometimes I feel more Hattish than Jervish. People change so frequently, becoming many things at once, it can be hard to keep up with it all! So, if it would be your fancy, feel free to call me anything you like– just so long as it isn’t rude, mind you.
