I still wonder…

Like. Seb’s document said he broke out while he was being transported

where was he being transported *to?*

Were they just changing where he was contained in the Blacksite? Doubtful given he was still given free enough reign to work on equipment during that time- he probably could’ve just moved himself, maybe with guards

Was he going to another site entirely? It’s implied Urbanshade has multiple sites even if Hadal is one of the main ones-

Were they going to sell him off? I mean- Urbanshade has a history of putting anomalies up for auction, both the Limited Time Imaginary Friend document and the Abstract Art files mention them selling off anomalies they don’t have a use for that aren’t something worth Neutralizing (or the other way around, too useless to sell), we know there’s other companies out there who’d probably have Use for a giant mutant- likely things that wouldn’t be good for him either like some kind of military use/Rich Weirdo Collector type stuff also

Did he even know? He waited 10 years to enact his plan- was it just the first chance he got, or did something happen?

i think cheese has rubbed off his "wanting to see prideful men get cucked"-ness onto me, because ratio being </3 at darling yap yap yapping at aventurine (i would in fact yap yap yap at aventurine if he gave me two seconds to ramble) is extremely hilarious

DOUBLY funny if darling is yap yap yapping at aventurine bc ratio nitpicked too much at what they were saying and they just went :/

ratio the moment he hears darling's name leave aventurine's mouth (he's heard enough yapping)

forget every "so tell us about dial-a-song" question in tmbg interviews, I still want to hear an elaboration of the vibe report where flansburgh's like "john linnell does not believe there should be music in films" and he goes "that's true :)" and they just move on

algerian trans women arent able to compete in women sports at all, but yeah its makes no sense to call khelif tme. youre so fucking smart.

(this is a response to this post) i see you don't believe that i'm quoting one of the trans women in my life about that, which is your prerogative. it's also your right to miss my point entirely both about the ways this alienates intersex people and about the rigidity of a binary that comes down to the same shrinking circles terfs draw when they try to quantify what a woman is (speak up for women, the most organised nz group, have now submitted on the human rights act suggesting that all babies be karyotyped at birth and the results be public, bc they can't establish any other definition they agree on. absolutely fucking nobody, not even their christian or conspiracist allies, agrees with them on this one.)

but you don't have to take my word for it! when i was at that consultation with the nz law commission, i was in a room with many other intersex and trans people, including trans athletes and trans women like lexie matheson who consult on trans inclusion in sports at a high national level. i don't think there's a single person in that room who did not name what was happening to khelif as we spoke as transmisogyny, who did not speak of her as part of a group with whom we all shared something.

at the end of the day, prison abolition informs all of my politics. i believe that we must look clearly and carefully at harm and distinguish it from discomfort or disagreement, and identify its structural sources and true perpetrators. i believe that to build a better future we must be capable of imagining one. i believe that we can build a world where suffering is not the metric by which we determine value or punishment or righteousness. i believe that we can build a world where we centre and uplift those who are most hurt, in every arena — black and brown trans women, here; in some of my other work, it's incarcerated intellectually disabled people, or asian migrant sex workers affected by section 19, the list goes on — without then pitting them against other people who share some of the same story and will benefit from the same deconstruction of the systems that hold them down. i believe we can build a world in which asab doesn't affect so much of your life by beginning that work now.

there's a politics of scarcity — you have it better than me, so we have nothing in common. i saw it all the time in brothels, the idea that the new girl is taking money out of your kids' mouths. the viciousness with which people who are struggling are so ready to abandon solidarity. is it so hard to demand better for everyone? to think less about the ways we're alone and more about the ways we're together?

maybe it is. i know that well enough as a prison abolitionist. people get scared. they swing at shadows, they swing at anyone who seems to be suffering less, they — we, i should say, i am certainly not immune — get blindingly jealous of people who seem to have it easier. that's grief! that's grief for the easier life that we deserve. and we get to mourn, and take that time to feel it, and then we can choose if we want to keep working hand in hand with each other toward a world where that grief is dwarfed by the promise of the future.

i always find it deeply irritating when people are criticising something i agree sucks and raise something i also think sucks as an example of 'how to do it right'. like i think you missed what i hated about it

He'd have expected pressed flora, or the gluing in with horse collagen or beeswax of an excerpt. . .but turning the pages had revealed a different medium altogether: a painting, the canvas frayed at the edges were it was torn in two and glued onto the paper. Looking at it for longer would make the assumption there were more pieces to the portrait, but its artist had removed them for what purposes he could not understand.

Oil paints, perhaps the ones they'd perused in Solitude, and natural pigments from charcoal and minerals, perhaps their own or perhaps from their time in Winterhold, blended to create the warm ambers and golds of skin, and hair, and jewelry, making up portraiture of themself. Their stylizations were intact as they were with pencil, but these struck as true studies; where their usual work was romanticized concepts of the company they've encountered, this looked much more like the effort between a muse and a mirror.

Fearful of the oil on his skin ruining the preservation of it, he made a conscious effort to not reach his fingers to touch the ambiently-cooled texture of paint, but oh, how dearly he wished to. He supposed he had them, blood and flesh, in the most favorable way, but something about the affection put into the reflection of the person he's so inconceivably tried to convince to care for themselves - yes, he supposed the draw had made sense.

. . .but the earring, painted warmly with ochre on the left, resembled that of the one they'd displayed during their time in Morthal and Labyrinthian: dangling chains and golden beads hugging peridot charms, a balancing vase that. . .carried cassia and cinnamon.

I know it's said that going into too much detail and focusing on the minute in your writing will make your work tiring and bore the reader - to that, I say: I write how I think, and I'm a detail-oriented person, so I find this true to life. Real life isn't only the most important parts, nor is it all we remember; write how you wish and don't feel like you have to adhere to strict rules for your art.

Following that theme, I had done portraiture of Blóðhundr only to not love how the final product looked - but separating the painting into different pieces was what I needed to do so. This will serve me better for the storytelling, anyway, so benefits all around.

I'm a simple dyke, I see two women characters who meet with one having unspoken animosity against the other and immediately want them to scissor about it.......

maybe controversial but sometimes i miss the dan and phil oversaturation™ era...like obviously I LOVE the current era and im so glad they're happy and confident and feel free to be themselves but i sometimes miss when they were like everywhere. like the collabs, the radio show, the awards livestreams...it was truly a cultural moment you had to be there
