thinking about how after the siphoning lab trial harrow says that the field was "vicious, much more so than Septimus communicated" and like. what was her goal there? if she was trying to get harrow out of the way and have gideon to herself was there a possibility that she would take gideon to john herself?? go to the mithraeum with gideon as her living breathing evidence for mercymorn augustine and g1deon???? bc if so i would love to read that fic that's all
#tlt#gtn#cytherea loveday#gideon the ninth#the locked tomb#mine#emily reread!#anyways i'm not going to write it because i can't do cytherea. but i know some of you out there can and i'm begging.#bc fr what if harrow straight up died in that there laboratory and gideon gave all her devotion to fake dulcinea septimus#how would god die in that universe

universal healthcare is not broken and anyone trying to convince you it is is delusional and a dckrider for big health insurance. yes there are wait times but waiting for care is Not the same as being denied care.
in america your physician prescribes care and an insurer can still cuck you out of it because someone across the continent who has never met you can say: doesn’t seem medically necessary. Leaving you to handle a bill that is wildly inflated by the same insurers that just denied you.
let me drill it through your head you can pay thousands a year in premiums and still end up sick and financially burdened for years by One incident. no insurance company is Avoiding going broke by denying claims. theyre doing it to profit off your misfortune and your illness. Because healthcare fundamentally does not cost the amount that they claim it to be.
#delete later#out of pocket rant#i hate these god awful takes on universal health care#and i hate this oh he killed a father#how many fathers do you think uhc let die be real with me#oh 8 billion is only 6% profit margin#bitch it could be 2 percent it could be a negative loss#this is me saying oh i resold a shoe for $60 after buying it for $50 when i also made it for 80 cents#i have been denied things like chest xrays and lung exams#i btw have had a chronic cough for 4+ years#in canada i got this done on the same fking day and results back within a month#there are indeed horror stories and on both sides of know ppl who died due to delayed diagnosis#and ppl who died bc they didnt even want the diagnosis it would have cost them too much#but robbing someone of the choice in my opinion is the worse of the two#putting someone in an impossible position like that is evil#this country love god so much better start praying u stay healthy bc thats the most important thing#also like those horror stories of wait times in the er#im gonna be real if u have severe stomach pain are actively bleeding heart attack or stroke#you will be seen asap#yes if unfortunately everyone around u that day decided to have a stroke or heart attack ur appendicitis will be punted down the line#this is a resource issue NOT a cost issue#this is a they also cut funding to nursing school and limited the number of ppl who can pursue medical degrees issue#not a we dont have privatized health care issue#bc ultimately u need a doctor to see u#not someones sister who is taking stabs at it#and every doctor is bound by the concept of time???#u still have to wait in america ur Charged for it also#and yall it doesn’t even have to be a Big incident#ur local urgent care might just be closed after 8pm and at 9pm u need stitches#or have severe stomach pains and just want it checked

No I want to talk about it I think right at the end the moment that logan decided he was going to sacrifice his self for wade’s friends, that wade had something someone to live for, he was ready to die because wade and his family needed him that’s what would make him an x-man and that’s the moment that I think wade realized and decided he couldn’t let this Wolverine die this Wolverine was a part of his family now and wade was going to save all of his family and that decision is when I think the loophole was set for matter and anti-matter to ‘coexist’
#deadpool 3#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool#I’m rambling#x-men#they’re literally BOTH the anchor being after that#obssessed#also can I just say#how fucked up it would have been if Logan didn’t make it#for him to find another family only to die without them again#no wonder he literally tore the door down#god imagine after that being displaced in a different universe a different timeline knowing no one#but the people that know you think your dead or the you they knew is#they’re alive maybe but they don’t know you and they’re not the same family you lost#I can’t imagine the disreality of it all I’d be astral projecting to the nearest bar too

to put a long story short: at the end of ffxiv's base game, literally Directly before the beginning of its first expansion (heavensward), there is a series of quests and story arcs that eventually snowball into an hour-long cutscene in which the entire thing comes to a head in the literal worst way possible. like, "the hero's plans all go horribly wrong and several major characters die onscreen, with others going missing (presumed dead), eventually culminating in the player character being framed for the murder of the leader of a nation-state and being Literally Forced To Flee The Country" wrong.
heavensward leads directly on from this plotline. you arrive at the major location of the expansion in the midst of seeking asylum whilst being a wanted criminal everywhere else in the world right now. it's like. A Whole Thing. the game makes such a big deal out of it all. the fandom does as well. and for good reason!! it's a really good moment!!!!!!
and then roughly 1/3rds of the way into heavensward you find out that literally none of it mattered. nobody important actually died, no changes were actually made to the status quo, and nothing comes of being literally kicked out of the country for (what is implied to be) several in-universe weeks, if not months. None Of It Mattered. None.
TLDR; the bloody banquet is a major, exciting, and very infamous twist that seems like it's going to segway into a MAJOR upheaval of the status quo and some really intriguing ramifications for the story as a whole... and then heavensward does away with literally all of that and practically writes the entire thing off as a waste of time.
you may be able to see why i'm so salty about it.
#also worth noting that the nation-state leader (who's death was The one you were framed for)#was assassinated specifically because she was trying to reform her country's merchantile incredibly corrupt leadership system#into a more bearable democracy that would give voice to the people instead of the greedy scumbags currently in power#one of the members of the syndicate (a group of rich people who at this point have more power than the sultana- her)#tried to kill her bc. well. obviously reformation would mean they wouldnt be in control anymore.#and so her supposed death is the big crux of the bloody banquet#and then. THEN. heavensward goes OUT OF ITS WAY to reveal she is not only ALIVE AND PERFECTLY FINE#(she got drugged with the classic fantasy eternal sleep that looks like death medication)#but that her plan for reformation was ACTIVELY STUPID. she DOESN'T GET TO DO IT. NOTHING ABOUT THE STATE OF UL'DAH CHANGES#THE GAME JUST TELLS YOU BETTER GUYS ARE IN CHARGE NOW AND EXPECTS YOU TO BE FINE WITH THAT?#AS THOUGH THE ORIGINAL PLAN TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM ENTIRELY WAS THE FLAWED PART OF THIS EQUATION?#god. i hate it so much. if you're not gonna change the status quo at least have the balls to kill off a character for christ's sake#i can rant abt it all day. it's just such a travesty on every level#yin-thoughts#ffxiv#also for the record ''bloody banquet'' is a fan term. the whole thing isnt called anything in-universe iirc#it's just a catchy title for an infamous sequence wherein people die at a banquet. you know how it be#it's just. god. something about it is just so utterly vile. the game all but looks nanamo (and to some extent the player) in the eyes#and goes How Dare You Try And Change The System. You're Stupid For Thinking This Could Work.#it feels so disingenuous and mean spirited and now the entire thing just leaves the worst possible taste in my mouth#and it SUCKS. because the bloody banquet scene itself is INCREDIBLE. but the way the game handles it after it happens is just#so bad!! it's so bad!!!! aughhhh it's so so so so so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!#the ffxiv writers are so in love with preserving the norm and so terrified of changing it up and/or killing off established characters#ive ranted abt it before and knowing myself i'll rant about it many a time again. it just sucks man#ffxiv crit

ok but i love the idea that the being is just an omnipotent small child thats playing a fun game, and simply doesnt comprehend the things its causing... im always a sucker for stuff like that
#.txt#darkwood#i used to have a furry oc universe where the universe itself was basically a child playing a game#n everytime it got bored the universe would just die n start again. akin to a child getting bored of a game n starting a fresh save file#but there were gods who were essentially doomed to go thru every new universe n the billions of years that each universe lasted#n no one could communicate with the universe itself they were just aware of how it worked bc of all the resets#watching darkwood longplays just made me think abt revisiting that concept jhjh

*eyeing yet another "Childe is a Christ figure" theory*
The human urge to sacrifice someone to solve their problems.
(I really hope that's what turns out to be the Fontainian 'sin' or maybe the original Enkanomiya sin even.
sacrificing a divine being so that they could keep their petty lives and not solve the problems they were responsible for. pretending that nothing happened
or maybe even that's what was wrong with Teyvat's creation)
#childe#tartaglia#fontaine#killing a god to become a god seems noble in comparison#it requires at least some measure of personal responsibility#you can see I have beef with a certain religion#but also I have faith in our boy and I hope he breaks that trope too#very tired of christian references#especially when they don't have depth#and also#in the‚ ahem‚ original it was not the sacrifice that did the trick#it was the god's forgiveness#transcending the unforgivable and making it unimportant#(ok. maybe I could tolerate a christian reference like that)#(since this guy does tend to make horrible things unimportant)#(but I would still very much prefer him to be a different kind of orphic story)#(no forgiveness‚ just cosmic indifference and some new knowledge about the universe)#(you have to die to learn certain things)#(that's how it has always been)

anyway today my m*ther (very rudely, if only in that she brought it up) asked 'you need to think about where you want to be when you're thirty' and I had to lie through my fucking teeth that I was too busy to answer that at the moment. how do I answer that. I'm not living to thirty I barely think I can make it beyond this year if something doesn't change drastically immediately and everything I want you have actively sabotaged in some way. or it's straight up impossible. man. when I'm thirty the best outcomes I see are being dead or far, far away from here. but I cannot tell you that. especially since every day that marches on that I am trapped in this prison that I'll admit I help keep myself locked in here! but every day that marches me closer to that guarantees my death
#oh but wouldn't death be such a comfort. it would. don't have to worry about anything#still thinking about that vision of my dead body. or the old premonition I had.#the thing is even if the impossible happens I'm going to die young whatever happens I'm just designed that way#especially when this was in the context of university like! I didn't want to be in university at all! I'm glad of some experiences#I've had because of it I'd have never gained some interests but dear god it's miserable and I hate it. I resent it so much#I've lost too many years of my short life to fulfil demands of other people and I am sick of it. but I don't know how to break free#every day I just hope that it happens because I don't know what else to do

Friendly reminder that being queer/LGBT ally/jewish/pro-semitism isn't, can't and shouldn't be used to justify and support ethnic cleansing, colonization and genocide. If you do think so then I don't want you to talk to me ever again 👉🚪
#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#free palestine#“BUT IF YOU LIVED THERE THEY'D KILL YOU” bitch people from my own country would rather see me dead for existing too#just because minorities are oppressed by their governments doesn't mean the citizens deserve to die#they're just weaponizing people sexualities and you are buying into their “noble” reasoning#“it is a war not a genocide” isn't it weird that the only side that is being censored for speaking about what's happening to them#are the Palestinians?#in pro palestine protests people don't yell death to Israel they yell they want freedom and ceasefire#if you think “from the river to the sea palestine will be free” is somehow the same as a (death) threat the problem is on you#and yes you can question Israel without being antisemitic. People can be jew and/or queer and be against them#this dehumanization shouldn't be answered with indifference or “they deserved it lol” BIG FUCK YOU#not sorry if this is how you find out what side I'm with. If talking about this makes you uncomfortable or offended feel free to unfollow m#tener que decir algo que debería ser universal y de sentido común me toca mucho los huevos#when I say I prefer to be drama free I mean about fandom discourse. Never about war crimes and violation of human rights#“if they don't want to get bombed just leave” THAT'S NOT THE SOLUTION THEY DESERVE TO LIVE IN THEIR LAND WITHOUT GETTING ATTACKED FOR IT#god dammit#I'll be back to being silly later but first I wanted to get this out of my chest#🍉

so because nick was able to almost raise lucifer from the empty, we really have to assume that anyone could do it. like all he had was some determination and a hammer, and he could have pulled it off. so. what im saying is that this leads us to assume that in-universe, dean just didnt feel like it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#im sorry im thinking about cas confession scene again and its so funny. its so funny. bro you KNOW how to get him out#its not that hard!! nick figured it out!!#there are literally no in-universe barriers to getting cas back out of the empty once he’s in there so!!!!#so we just kind of have to assume!!! that no one felt like doing it!!!#option 2: sam asked ‘hey what happened to cas’ and dean went ‘yeah he seemed like he wanted to sacrifice himself i think we should honor#his wishes’ and sam goes ‘???????? okay.’ and then they never talk about it again#option 3 is that cas is so embarrassed how poorly his confession went and that dean doesn’t feel that way about him that when sam & dean#DID try to get him out. he hid. probably behind uriel or something.#there is no option here where everyone tried their hardest to get cas out because if they DID he would be out. its literally not that hard.#this is even ignoring the fact that jack is god now even without that its just. something anyone can do. if they feel like it.#dean lets cas die and thinks of him like a pet they should bury in the front yard send post#we have him on record as saying he thinks of cas like a talking dog its not ooc. its practically canon.#spn#dean winchester#castiel spn

I’m better than the astronauts from the I.S.S. horror movie on amazon prime because I didn’t NEED to be blasted up a billion centimetres into orbit and see the planet turn to know that borders aren’t real and governments won’t save you and we просто нужно помнить о том, что нужно держаться вместе.
#LMAO if anyone can read that and it doesn’t say the movie quote just know I used the oxford university translate tool#ISS movie#THEY USED THE CANADARM TO TRY AND MURDER A DUDE#it was a fun movie but also. I thought you scientists were supposed to have a spiritual moment up there#crazy how your nationalism took hold so dang quick huh. I don’t buy it buddy!!!!!!!#y’all would have been suckin and fuckin in the glow of the nuclear blasts just thanking god you’re literally above it all rn#like. come on dude. but also yeah yeah nasa and all space programs are a function of their respective militaries#so I guess I’m just an idealist and the scientists up their are all also originally fighter pilots and marines yanno#also interesting how there was only Americans and Russians on the ISS. the story could have been way more intricate if like#there was also Indian and Chinese and Canadian astronauts there. they mentioned singing bowie and you KNOW that was my boy Chris Hadfield#that one guy who was like I HAVE TO GET BACK DOWN THERE AND SAVE MY DAUGHTERS aaaaugh my daughters he would have been sequestered so fast#they do not fuck around up there they are cold science man. yeah your daughters but dude we are floating in orbit rn chill tf out#do you really think people living in such extreme situations are going to half their manpower because ground control is sending secret text#not meeeee they would have a meeting and be like how can we all not die how can we go forward#anyway. yeah fun movie. 7/10.#amazon prime

the stories. that live in my head. unwritten. y'all have no idea
#little rock.txt#unless you've talked to me for long enough. but that's bcus i don't shut up#anyway. thinking about my unfinished cotl fanfic that i want to get around to at some point#about the lamb coping with being the last sheep by refusing to let their cultists stay dead#and how narinder - former god of death - would view them and their resurrection and their preachings of death#and another one that i had the beginnings of but lost at some point#(the latter being about how there is no such thing as a peaceful transfer of power#and how being the lamb in a story means you will die or become a wolf in your own right)#and also my whole oblivion story.#what if you were supposed to be a hero but you knew what was going to happen#and so you put off the inevitable. ran side quests. watched the world carry on peacefully#as peacefully as it can in the wake of the emperor's death -- but oh what will await them when you take the first step?#you become the leader of the fighter's guild and hope your job does not take you to the monastery you're avoiding#you watch a mage's guild burn and know the fires of oblivion will one day spread throughout the land#you make yourself a daedric prince in your own right and know it will not be enough to save him one day. that you will always fail.#that no matter what you do or who you save or who you become there will be a day everything crumbles and you will have to save what you can#the amulet of kings burns a hole in your pocket as you slaughter your siblings of the dark brotherhood#you bend the rules of the universe for immortality and yet there are things you cannot change. no matter how much you want to.

#just an observation bc im avoiding working on stuff but i draw a lot and post basically everything i draw thst gets finished#and its v funny to me how u can tell how out of focus i was based on the quality of the drawing#or like when i post something and its like ok some of that was good but u def gave up halfway thru one of those lol#inconsistency i funny like that. its also funny to me that now a days i get comments like COLORS!!!#which is funny bc i notoriously haaaaaate coloring. like i will sit around whining and complaining when im home with my parents bc i dont#wanna color. its just so easy to fuck things up when u draw traditionally and it takes a million years so its a big ask lol#but i guess i dont hate is so much right now bc i kinda just slap whatever colors i want together like fuck it we ball#and thats kinda fun. reckless i suppose#its agony when u wanna try to do shadows and lights tho. like finding references ugh#or wanting to draw big ideas but then its like oh god its gonna take so long and if i dont do it all in one sitting i might die#im a lil better abt thst now bc it would b impossible but in my head i still hate it#ugh. all i wanna do is draw. theres another universe where i went to art school. or just like took art classes. and i wanna say id b happier#but thats def a lie XD i like learning too much and i dont have the attention span to hardcore learn genetics outside an academic#environment. and i got way too excited abt exploring the genetic traits of my cyano species#like i can make genetics trees for traits and look for. fuck. i forgot the word. how tf did i forget the word. oh god. horizontal gene#transfer. jesus christ its like theres a hole in my brain. well. i guess i did get only like 4hrs sleep. ugh im rambling.#i need to finish getting ready for Monday so i dont have to tomorrow and ill have time to draw. prob wont stop me feeling nauseous abt#teaching tho. OH FUCK. i just remembered i have a new office space now to decorate. fuck i need to hang up pictures and stuff#what would b the funniest way to put narut0 on my deskspace? idk ill have to think abt it. oh god im not ready#my head is like a handbell. one of the big ones when u ring it and it hits soft and u can feel the vibrations. someones wrung my head lol#unrelated

YouTube yesterday: Hey btw The Longest Johns just released a song about Horatio Nelson's death.
Me: Cool, excuse me as I stare off into space and think about L'Manburgian soldiers' reaction to hearing about Kiril's dying to withering whenever I play the song.
#regicide au#like yes I know realistically Kiril would be a bit of a controversial figure in L'Manburg#his father (and ancestry in general tbh) represents centuries of colonialism and oppression#like ffs you can't just walk into a place like Pogtopia going 'hi I promise I'm a good Krafta'#when you've had to spend the past few years drastically unlearning all the colonialist propaganda you were fed as a child#anyway Artur is representative of continuing the oppression of an entire people no matter how hard you have to grind your boot on them#while Kiril represents the effort to at least make a start on fixing the mistakes of the past#with liberation in the hopes that will open the door for reparations etc#not that he ever expects to see that because he'll be dead from fratricide#(not to mention shit like that will take generations for the wounds to begin healing so no veteran of this war will live to see it either)#he still wants to do *something* as a way to work towards that better future though#a war of independence sure as fuck wasn't what he imagined but 'the universal language is violence' yada yada#it certainly seems to be Artur's universal language#and Kiril gains an even better image of himself as a general who is willing to fight and potentially die with his soldiers#those under his command absolutely have deep respect for him thanks to how he conducts himself#...and then the withered arrows start flying#people are going to end up talking about how he never let on he was hit himself#he simply visited the affected soldiers in the infirmary some of whom were doomed to die in one of the worst ways possible#then he was gone. just grabbed by his brother so he could be killed in Rayusel (or away from the public eye in general)#rumours are going to fly about all sorts of things pertaining to Kiril's final hours but one thing is for sure#there is going to be grief amongst the soldiers who loved him#'let him die in peace' ...yeah they really are going to hope that somehow he didn't suffer as much as a typical withering victim#god I am just shaking this song vigourously by its shoulders I swear

It's such a tiny innocuous thing that really doesn't matter, but I feel like calling duel monsters a children's card game (when it's fundamentally baked into everyday life, and your social existence is judged by what you play and how you play it so very intensely, for everyone in-universe) is an absolute injustice to what it is for that universe of people.
#marwospeaking#The following tags are a rant. please skip if you are not interested in reading a whole rant#to be clear. actual real life ygo sure. you can call that a children's card game (even if card game is just easier anyway)#but. in universe you Would Not call it a children's card game. not even sure you'd call it a game at that point#ygo worldbuilding fascinates on different levels. and to be honest this thought came to be via the abridged Shun compilation video#because he does mention children's card game (paraphrased) often earlier on in reference to in-universe duel monsters#but. for some people it literally defines if you die or not (Shun Was/Is In A War). for others it's your ticket to not go to jail because#you're too powerful to not be let off the hook (survival of the fittest kinda stuff really)#if you even dare not show up to a match. with crowds Equal To A Football/Soccer Championship. your family is in social ruins (Yusho)#these cards house spirits. and can be used for so many varied things between ending the world. starting the world. and coldblooded murder#and treating all of that as though its below a character. not because they're untouchable. but because of an age demographic#I feel misses a point about Arc V that I'm not sure I can quite articulate without sounding fully manic#in other series too! Synchro causes the world to end because it attracts some giant anti-synchro bois (meklords)#Numbers can either possess or take the form of someone's personal desires and feelings (Titanic Moth and Hope Harbinger are the same card)#(just different monsters because two different people used the exact card)#The God cards. the sacred beasts. the whole of GX's dimensional shenanigans and most definitely Yubel and Winged Kuriboh#Even in Vrains. which is very mild compared to the previous 3 installments. its still baked in their society. Its just aggregated#into cyberspace. That's not mentioning the Tortures that revolved around duelling to train AIs on children's brains so you could have..#.. cyber immortality. and then you choose to kill the AIs that you see as like children to you - mentioned directly to your biological son#ANYWAY. tldr. Having an in-universe character calling Duel Monsters a children's card game outside of DM specifically is a fundamental..#.. misunderstanding of how important it socially is in-universe. and it'd be much more understandable for someone whose life isn't dictated#by how well he can play it to say anything along the lines of 'its beneath me!!' than fuckign Kurosaki Shun are you kidding me.#We won't make an actual point at how the social lives of people don't seem to be solved by talking as much as duelling. no. we'll say..#.. its for children so we can point and laugh at how weird it is!! Buddy I Have Fallen Asleep.#in other news exploring the navigation of a world where talking out problems would be weird without a duel to communicate should be..#.. done way more often. This world is as anti-talk no jutsu as much as it is very pro-punch no jutsu.#arc v#< because part of this was inspired off of some of Shun's abridged lines early on
