#i was in ICELAND!

[quaranmine]

Yesterday was wild because I've never been in a situation in my life where I'm just driving normally down the highway heading to the airport and then off to the left of the road you can just casually see a volcano erupting

So funny watching reply guys talking about Elon on twitter "Oh everyone is out to get Elon right now" yes because he's easy to get! And he does it in public! People keep painting tunnels on the wall and we all watch him run into them at full speed.

You could roll a golden apple on the floor in front of him labelled "The smartest" and even if the thing was so obviously radioactive it's clicking like a fucking Geiger counter, he would have that shit crammed in his mouth in actual seconds because he has literally infinite hubris and in my opinion the world's most obscene public humiliation kink

Okey I want to ramble about The Country under cut

Obviously we don’t know much about anything, but thing we do have is the saying “The universe leads, you follow,” which is interesting to say the least.

For one it seems to be connected to Wish Craft, specifically an effort to not try to break wishes, an example being trying to say The Country’s name can straight up kill you if you try hard enough. A smaller case of this can be seen when trying to regift Mirabelle the bow from the pretty lady. Since she already has the bow, the logic of the loop starts to break and it begins to hurt her. It only stops when Siffrin grabs the bow and gives it to her so that it can continue as normal. Don’t go against the flow of what’s happening or else you can accidentally break a wish and get hurt.

There’s another example of them taking precautions with Wish Craft with the book in the room with the orrery. If you look at it in act 5 you find out it’s a children’s cautionary tale about wishing certain wishes. This is really telling, Wish Craft is essential for the society of The Country but they also had cultural habits to try to minimize its danger. They teach their kids to not wish too big and let things happen without challenge, or else it might get messy.

This kinda highlights the flipped side of all this, which is that this isn’t the greatest mentality to teach people. The Universe saying can essentially be translated to mean “just let things happen and don’t challenge them.” A lot of Siffrin’s problems are reinforced by him making sure to not ‘interrupt anything’, in fact it inadvertently worked against his wish. They can’t ask if the rest of the party wants to continue traveling, it will happen if it does. In my mind it’s kinda like the ends justify the means, the culture makes it so Wish Craft is less likely to backfire, but at the expense of the citizens’ mental health.

Which is really funny considering it did not work
