I really enjoy how independent the honey badgers are of each other. When both Bad and Pangi were asked if they were to die for each other - they replied that it "depends on the situation" rather then it being an immediately 'yes'. When Ros admits that she would die for the Kingdom, Pangi immediately whispers to Bad that "This is a cult."

In Pangi's perspective, Ros dying for the kingdom is something cult-like. It's not unreasonable to see or understand why Pangi thinks that. However, to Ros, her dying for the kingdom makes sense. The kingdom is her family. She wants to protect them and she's extremely loyal to them - so of course, she's willing to die for them without any hesitation. (Placing aside her insecurities about her own worth to the kingdom and herself) Pangi expressing that he believes the kingdom of fools is a cult because of Ros being so willing to die for them- also demonstrates something about himself. Which is that, Pangi can't understand Ros' line of thinking with the yellow kingdom because it is not something that Pangi can understand within his own faction. This is not me saying that Pangi doesn't care about the honey badgers. Of course, he does! He's the one that came up with the name, he's the one who made the banners, he's the one who took away the yellow kingdom's honey for the sake of being a honey badger. He adores the faction title and his own identity to it - however, Pangi is free from his own faction. So, lemme try to explain. There is only two people in the honey badgers (in terms of activity on the server) - Bad and Pangi. Bad and Pangi are not co-dependent on each other. Bad does not feel the need to protect Pangi. Unless, he's directly asked for help, and then he will because they're still teammates. Pangi does not feel the need to protect Bad either. Despite being the only ones in the honey badgers, they both feel free in a sense. Pangi has his own base somewhere else, and so does Bad. Pangi and Bad are not as connected as the yellow kingdom are. But, that doesn't mean they don't get along. Pangi has referred to Bad before as a fun uncle, and Bad has mentioned before that Pangi is awesome. They share plenty in common - they love gossip, causing chaos, being paranoid together, and they enjoy setting up traps. Bad even supports Pangi in what Pangi wants to do. Though, they're able to still be individuals on their own. (Excluding Pangi and Pili's co-dependent relationship since this post was just meant to be about Pangi and Bad). If someone attacks Bad, that does not mean that Pangi has immediate conflict with that person. Same with Bad! If someone attacks Pangi - then, that doesn't mean Bad instantly has conflict with that person either. Though, Pangi has pride about being a honey badger, he doesn't make it the sole reason for everything he does. He's free to do whatever he wants for himself, and Bad is the same in that reasoning. Then there's Bad, and he isn't strictly loyal to his faction. Bad is willing to encourage others to trap or kill Pangi. Other faction members would not do this to who they view as someone as their own. However, this is again, because the view of faction that both Bad and Pangi carry, isn't them tied down to each other - at least, in terms of how the other factions operate with their members. If Bad were to pass away, Pangi would be sad though he wouldn't destroy the world over it (while he would for Pili) and the same goes for Bad, vice versa. They aren't fully committed to each other, though they still care about one another to a degree. Maybe it's just not as high as other's degree of care as other factions would about their members. But, that doesn't mean it's non-existent. Bad has mentioned before that if a draft were to happen, then he wouldn't pick Pangi first. Other faction members would probably interpret this as Bad not caring about Pangi, but it's actually the opposite. He wouldn't pick Pangi because he does care about him, he wants Pangi to have fun being in a different faction. It does also convey that Bad doesn't view Pangi as someone being tied down as a honey badger - he sees him as an individual who doesn't need to be in the faction for the sake of Pangi being an original member.

The thing is that Provider's first verse after the intro is SO straightforward:

I want to delineate That the last time we were around Each other I felt myself hesitate But I know I would not now My lover (🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺)

He's making DAMN SURE they know what he's on about. Which is a wild contrast against how he used to address his past (?) lover(s). Sleep Token's lyrics are always laced with something else between the lines - it's his staple at this point. Saying one thing, meaning another. Baring your fangs while exposing your throat.

But not here. He's saying exactly what he wants with his full chest. And in comparison with past songs, we get so see these feelings are not only wholly reciprocated, but also initiated by his lover as well.

Cause you've been hitting my phone so hard I found it Breathing through a tube in the ICU Yeah, I see you

When you look at me like that, got me falling right back

"falling right back" as in, they're both looking at each other and falling in love simultaneously. No more yearning for a future that will never be, for someone that won't give him the love he deserves. "You're the only game that I like to loose" vs "I made loving you a bloodsport, I can't win. So let's play".

And really, this whole section is corny, is silly, is cheesy. Sure, absolutely. Incredibly subpar to what we're used to seeing from him, absolutely. But they are so fun. So light.

That's the thing that really gets me - there's a levity to it that seems to stem from this relationship/ love. He doesn't really care if he looks dumb, he's in love! We're all fools in love!! Like a massive weight has lifted off his shoulders and he has a newfound courage armouring his words.

And then-

And your fingers Foxtrot on my skin, I'm Going under this time I can give you what you want

☹️

And our bodies converse like old friends Exchanging the years in silence With something unsaid on both ends Surely we know the difference

☹️

Who says that. Who says that. Who tf is saying that. WHO SAYS THAT. How can you say anything bad about Provider when THIS is the chorus. What is wrong with him.

I wanna be a provider Garner you with silk like a spider Roll or die, you bet, I'm a rider Your outer shell, your secret insider

Man is ALL IN. And we knew he's the type to, but he IS. ALL IN. No caveats, no ifs or buts. No hesitation. He's HERE, he's standing in front of you with an extended hand and an open heart and he IS. NOT. LEAVING. HELLO. WHO SAYS THAT. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS. Sick and twisted behaviour.

If macden were to actually happen I'd want it to happen in a way that it's not actually happening. Like, the joke was that Mac was gay and didn't know it. That Mac and Dennis were/are in a committed open relationship without knowing it. That Dennis is very obviously ignoring some blaring signs, but doesnt know it. That's been the joke with their identites and relationship through the whole show.

Mac is gay, someone points it out, he gets weird about it, then represses the shit outta it and pretends like thats not what it is. They're in a relationship, someone points it out, they get weird for a bit, but they repress repress repress so they can still do what they're doing without having to actually deal with it. That's the joke right?

So if macden were to go cannon it'd have to be "subtle", like, to them. It would be very very obvious to literally everyone else. Thats the joke. A scheme - that was purely their own ideas, no one pushed them into it - got them sleeping in the same bed. Out of his own want, Dennis vibrated Macs ass with remote anal beads. For months. If it happens, a scheme is gonna get them to kiss and a scheme is gonna get them to fuck. And it looks like it'll be their own damn fault too.

Exposing the Honey Influencer Scam

YouTube creater MegaLag has just put out a video revealing several facets of how the "free" browser extension Honey has been scamming influencers, affiliates, and consumers across the Internet and it's not even the whole story.

TL;DW

0.5. Honey is absolutely stealing consumer data.

1. Honey replaces any affiliate link with their own so Honey gets the commission from the retailer instead of the actual referrer. (Even if no coupon codes are found, any click on a Honey pop-up replaces affiliate information)

2. Retailers who are partnered with Honey get to control what coupons codes are used by the extension, so even if better coupon codes exist, consumers won't go looking for them.

3. It is heavily implied, and going to be expanded upon in a follow-up video, that taking affiliate's commissions is not even the only way Honey is stealing from their own partners.

If a product is free, you are the product.

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

Dorian Pavus is a what now??

pls I’ve been laughing over this since yesterday. imagine if there was a special dialogue trigger for romanced Dorian like:

Inquisitor: Dorian Pavus is an old friend. He filled me in.

Harding: Old friend, huh? That’s a funny way of saying—

Inquisitor: AHEM. Morrigan has told me what you’ve accomplished since taking over for Varric…

big fan of this

[roguelov]

If I were to do a kinktober with the list I created below, who would you want to see with what? Of course I’ll do Dream, possibly some Hob, and anyone else from sandman but I was thinking of doing some one piece so what characters from there? I was thinking Law, Corazon, maybe Sanji or Zoro or even Robin. Thoughts?

You can even suggest other fandoms if you want! I just want to get some ideas flowing

Honestly these are not completely set in stone so if you want to see any other kinks feel free to share! This was just a randomized list that I narrowed down

Restraints

Hand Kink

Doggy

Double Penetration

Vanilla/Slow and Soft

Voice Kink

Window/Balcony sex

Piercings

Cunnilingus

Cockwarming

Y'know someone's probably waxed poetic about this already but it's on my mind so I'm gonna do it again.

When it comes to encouraging people to learn about native plants and habitat and involving themselves and their yards in the wider ecosystem, you gotta meet them where they're at.

And maybe that means they won't go as far into it as you are or would like them to in your wildest dreams. But even small steps count towards the bigger picture and I think we need to appreciate that more.

An example from my own life is my mom and the current gardening project we're working on. We're planning out the garden beds in the front of the yard by the mailbox--my mom's previous plantings for the most part haven't worked out, so I'm taking a crack at it.

I'm a pollinator gardening enthusiast who cares more about attracting as many butterflies bees and hummingbirds as possible than keeping things 'neat' and 'tidy'. However, not only do we live in an HOA neighborhood (though not as intense as some other stories I've heard), but I know my mother--an interior designer who has a deeply vested care for making sure the exterior of the house looks as Nice as possible.

We're still getting a pollinator garden in the front though. How? I'm meeting her where she's at, I'm making some concessions, she's making some concessions, but ultimately we're making something that works for the both of us. She doesn't want the plants too tall and messy? We'll trim them back in fall and winter--the insects can use the backyard garden to nest in. She doesn't want things too wild and bushy and weedy? We'll add a nice mulch to the beds, keep things a bit spaced out until they grow in to their larger sizes. She doesn't know the latin names for the plants I'm asking for, let alone how to pronounce them to ask for them at a garden center? That's fine, I don't know the Latin names for most things anyways, let's just use common names.

Does she care that the garden will attract butterflies and hummingbirds? Not intrinsically--she sees it as more of a bonus, if anything. She just cares about what color everything will be and if it'll be easy to maintain. The fact that they're native plants barely registers as a plus side to her. And honestly? That is fine.

If I approached this problem with a hardheaded attitude on how I wanted it to be just as wild and free as my backyard garden? There wouldn't be any native plants in the front beds. It's not like I didn't teach my mom things, but I didn't lecture her like she was lesser just for not knowing or caring as much about native gardening as I do. And that, ultimately, made her more open to the idea than she would've been if I looked down on her like I've seen too many people do to others.

Not everyone is going to develop a deeply seated care about native plants and Latin names and I don't think it's reasonable to expect that. Meet people where they're at and you just might get a lot more done. Meet people where they're at and you just might find they'll get excited enough to learn more--but if they don't want to learn more, that is fine.

We can't expect everyone on the globe to suddenly become plant experts rattling off Latin names left and right and professionally ID'ing native and invasive plants. In the same way we wouldn't expect everyone to suddenly learn the ins and outs of learning code, or how to synthesize medicines, or how to properly build a house. And that is fine. Because we can lean on those who do know when these things come up.

I lost track of where this was going but. Y'know????

every single winter i return to ye olde faithful trope of older provider man who makes himself at home in your life and takes care of you enough that you can overlook that he’s just a smidge overbearing about it
