#i know theres the strike

[grumpycarmilla]

wow. i didn’t think it would be an actual announcement. but lol

i had my reservations about the whole “saved” thing because it’s so strange that he (dean) hasn’t at least outlined his intentions for the trilogy (same cast and crew or clean slate). sort of right now sounds like that’s intentional.

The difference between a strike and a boycott is the focus of what is being withheald

In a strike the supply is being withheald because the workers aren’t producing whatever it is.  It works by having the masses demand what the companies cannot produce and therefore, if the company wants to continue providing whatever it is in order to continue making money, they have to listen to worker demands

In a boycott the demand is being withheald because the masses aren’t buying or engaging with whatever it is.  It works because companies, obviously, need to actually sell things in order to function.  The point is to make the company change something about a product in order to appeal to the masses again

That’s why you shouldn’t boycott when a strike is on (unless the union says so) because it kind of cancels out the strike.  If there is no demand then witholding supply is meaningless - again, unless the union says so, since that means they factored it into their industrial action plan and believe it would be beneficial

I know people want to help but the reaction to call for a boycott whenever there’s a strike just kind of...... doesn’t

fascinated by the implied fennec-ventress-phee friend group in tbb. even more interesting (funny) when you add boba in there during the tbobf era.

Oh also! Because Mu Qing gets too much shit thrown at him.

The way he's the first to show up after Xie Lian gets put under house arrest in order to heal his arm! Like he's here for the drama, but he cares!!! Both him and Feng Xin show up to help Xie Lian out in their absolutely terrible disguises at the beginning! Both of them immediately try to track him down and rescue him after hua Cheng kidnaps/rescues him! He cares! He's just not nice about it, and I think a lot of y'all have problems with people who care about the main character but aren't soft about it. Just because he's a bit of a dick doesn't mean he's a bad guy! Like a lot of his behavior is stuff that we see in Hua Cheng, and y'all don't have a problem with it since it's directed at other characters!Like of course it makes sense that Xie Lian doesn't trust him, because you know, the trauma core. But like, God does Mu Qing deserve a proper apology from both Xie Lian and Feng Xin about the way they've treated him over the years. It fucking sucks to have people assume bad intentions just because you're not palatable.

we give garp a lot of (rightly deserved) shit but unironically like 90% of the criticisms towards him i see not only ignore the wider worldbuilding context of one piece but also don't acknowledge how sengoku is like the worst friend ever

trying to get into tolkien lore is such a headfuck its unbelievable. ainur and valar are two different things, elbereth gilthoniel and varda are the same lady - everyone and everything has at least 3 names cos different languages and I’m still not clear who spoke what one. I read one chapter and then have to go on an hourlong research deep dive to understand what I just read. tolkiengateway.net save me. save me tolkiengateway.net

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?

(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)

Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:

if you've heard of the tree law thing going around where universal chopped up the trees wga was picketing under so they'd have no shade they also blocked off the sidewalks which is extremely dangerous for any pedestrians

here's a petition to construct k-rails to allow for a safe, temporary pedestrian lane

here's where that's linked on wgawest's linktree

I have not posted any of my analysis to reddit yet and I think I might just post it and ghost it. I've already spent too much time looking at other people's threads on there to feel any way good about interacting with folks.

I already went in an added the "I know you're going to bring this up let me save you the time" section which is exclusively touching on the frequent topics of:

"well what about the fingerprint nostrum and finger mimics? He is clearly just a crackpot"

And

"it's definitely some weird elaborate sacrifice to Metyr thing"
