You know what, I figured out why we're having so many errors in Destiny 2 now. It's because with the addition of Micah-10, we've finally reached a critical mass of women with drop dead gorgeous voices, and the game simply can't handle it anymore. It's like Telesto. Too powerful. If they'd actually put Ikora Rey in a rendered cutscene for more than 5 seconds it would have shut down the servers for good

i like them together....

Kinda got a love/hate relationship with the history of K/S because it's like. Can I please have a queer discussion about this 1960s television show without it being reduced to "shipper discourse". I thought Spock and Kirk were homo long before I knew that their characters spawned a fanfiction counterculture. The bisexual dude who wrote the episode that really kick-started the movement didn't know it was going to coalesce into the fan phenomenon that it did, he was just writing what he knew how to write best: the repression of burning male desire, and two dudes doing homoerotic shit. Can I just talk about the repressed burning male desire please, and the implications of a gay angle to Kirk and Spock's story, without it being referred to as shipper discourse. Can I do that. Does this make sense

Where have you been?

This week's @galladrabbles prompt by @gallabitch73, "Where have you been?"

Word Count: 100

----

"Where have you been?!" Ian asked, as he pulled the front door open. "It's 3:30am I was about to call…" He stopped when he saw the state of his husband.

Mickey walked forward, soaked, mud covering him from head to toe.

"What the hell happened to you??"

Mickey was in a daze as he plopped down on the couch, not caring about the mess.

"Mickey, Jesus talk to me!"

"Cartel. Tried to bury me. I dug myself out."

Ian sat stunned as he began touching Mickey everywhere to make sure he was okay.

"Are we in danger here?"

"Yes."

In Chapter 88, when All Might confronts the League, Shigaraki makes yet another declaration to destroy:

Viz translates it as "Justice this and peace that... All these vague things have kept a lid on our society's filthy underbelly... we're smashing through, through... And to do that, we're removing you from the picture, All Might."

The bolded ("kept a lid", "we're smashing through") is what's highlighted in red in the panel above. 'Futa' translates to lid/cover; 'bukkowasu' translates to destroy, a word that Shigaraki is fond of.

At this moment in time in the story, Shigaraki does not have his memories back yet. But he knows that he's dissatisfied with the world, that he and villains have been ignored and hidden away by society; and he seeks to destroy that cover.

In Chapter 281, with all his memories back, what Shigaraki seeks remains the same, though he's able to articulate it much clearer:

Viz translates this speech as "For generations… you pretended not to see those you couldn't protect… and swept their pain under the rug."

It's correct, though a more literal translation would be: "The things you couldn't protect, you pretended not to see... put a lid over their pain."

And, of course, a few pages later, Shigaraki vows to destroy all of this - Heroes, the system they've built, the society it's housed in. It's still his goal, as he states in Chapter 379, when he broke out of AFO's control, and in Chapter 410, when he tells Deku he'll sink the entire country.

In latest Chapter 412, "destroying the lid" is brought up again, though this time by Deku, as he thinks back to exactly what Shigaraki was saying back in Jaku about Heroes ignoring pain of unsaved victims:

Lit. translation: "That lid, until it's destroyed, I won't stop striking at it." The same words Shigaraki uses.

The scanlation has rendered it as "shredding the rug," which is correct and trying to match with the Viz translation, but I think that loses the slight nuance in this thread of "destroying the lid/cover" that can be traced all the way back to Chapter 88.

-

It sounds a bit like Deku and Shigaraki are actually on the same page now? Getting rid of the cover that hides the failures of Hero Society is all well and good, but what would it entail? Shigaraki has decided it means getting rid of everything. Obviously that's bad. I wonder what Deku would propose instead.

hii, i am so curious about what you thought of tdp s7

Hi! I haven't engaged with tdp material since S4 on purpose, since I've learned I don't do well being a creator in fandoms whose canon is so actively updating. I'll binge all of tdp and catch up on everything eventually, but it might be a while, and I'd like to ask for strictly no spoilers for anything since S4 until then! I'm great at avoiding spoilers on my own but if people send them to me I can't really avoid that :P

(thank you for being so spoiler free in your ask btw, appreciate it!)

-->And then it was back home around 10 PM! Where they were greeted by Shock, herself back from her off-lot adventures for the day. :p I had Alice give the kitty some pets while Smiler went to scavenge the trash piles she’d created from her earlier attempts to repair the turbines for parts and Victor Repairioed the remaining turbines and one busted water collector. Smiler then got put on recycling duty (recycling all the various bits of trash in everyone’s inventories, the eggs they forgot to put in the fridge, some of the muckleberries and morel mushrooms in the household inventory, and a fancy Crystal Creations square shelving unit that I apparently forgot to delete out of the household inventory earlier) while Alice serenaded Victor. This put him very much in the mood, so I sent them upstairs to have a little woo and hoo while Smiler got put back to work on making their new Servo buddy (they’re up to the torso!). I ended up ending the playsession with Victor taking a post-woohoo pee while Alice decided to mop up the puddles outside because, again, Erratic (though hilariously, it started raining again on their lot the moment she decided to do so) –

-->But, before I left the save file entirely, I took a moment to hit Manage Worlds and visit Newcrest – then popped into the Gallery and looked up Petey Plays It’s user ID. Because in-game, the gang was up to Fall Monday, aka Spookfest – and out-of-game, my next playsession fell on 7/7/2024 – aka the Valicer Anniversary! So I wanted the session to revolve around the gang having a group date – and because of the holiday, I wanted an appropriate place for them to go. So I swung by Petey’s to grab his Haunted Museum lot from the “better museums” video of his I watched a little while ago! :D I plopped it down in Newcrest and vowed to give it a bit of a spit-shine before their date (as parts of the museum felt a little empty to me) –

But that you will be seeing next update. ;) Or, well, if you want a teaser, you can always go back and look at this post. XD Either way, Spookfest Valicer Group Date next time! Hope you're looking forward to it!

been feeling mixed on some of my friends recently

[demirose-colored-glasses]

Skye did nothing wrong. They're all neck deep in a lot of emotions. Grief can messy even when it seems like the people are estranged.
