On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.
Bonus:
#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks#hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature#ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual#isat spoilers#isat#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#sifloop#THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#lucabyteart#RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete#they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot

*Reverses your Christmas*
A gift from @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are to all of you :) we really wanted the boys to get along for once, and what better occasion than Christmas? anything to make the Edwins happy!
#dbda#dead boy detectives#payneland#reverse verse#palasaki#only a little tho#christmas#the rv boys usually go to church on christmas tho charles only does so to be supportive/a menace#the kfc joke is a japanese thing#both edwins love the lights and the whole process of decorating#charles and edwin have been waiting decades to make the chorb joke#luckily it landed!#the crystal are used to spending the season either on boring dinners with their parents or alone#they get a lot of presents tho#charles likes to check on his parents on christmas though he doesn't remember them being this calm when he was alive#i was going to make a joke about crystal being visited by three ghosts (niko edwin and charles) because a christmas carol is my favorite#christmas story but if i got distracted that would get a plot#so i decided to leave it#don't worry the charles will probably go back to hating each other after this#merry crisis everyone

Fit: Oh yeah, the great outdoors! All we need is a can of beans, and we'll have a good time.
Phil: There's two empty seats, I can't remember what– who they're for though. [Snorts then leans off-screen and laughs]
Fit: [Slowly realizes what Phil said] ...No. No. No. No! No! NO! WE ARE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT NOW! WE ARE NOT DOING THIS, PHIL. Ok? We are not doing this.
Sneeg: Do you wanna talk about it...?
Phil: [Continues laughing]
Fit: No man, this- this man thinks trauma is funny. He thinks trauma is funny– He thinks interpersonal emotional trauma is funny! Yeah, we're all laughing, Phil. We're all laughing. Yeah– [Monotone voice] "Hahaha! So funny." So funny. So funny.
Sneeg: Alright, bro. Why don't you go–
Fit: Gaslight girlboss, right? Yeah, that's what we do, that's what we do.
Phil: Oh my god– [Exhales and laughs] That tickled me, that was a good one. Uh, right–
#Philza#FitMC#Sneegsnag#JoeSMP#QSMP#(Implied / mentioned)#Fit#Sneeg#Phil#Joe SMP#Honestly if he'd killed Phil for this I don't think any of us would blame him for this#I'm glad this server has a bounty system so I can pull out my wallet and be like ''Guards; kill this clown''#/hj#He's SUCH a bastard#Didn't have a chance to post this yesterday sorry#Edited#I saw someone say they thought he was referring to Missa / Pac but honestly I think he was talking about the Eggs#could go either way though#TBH I think cubito Phil knows damn well what he's talking about and remembers everything#He's just the embodiment of that ''Sometimes I can still hear his voice'' / '' I'm not dead!'' meme

Do you guys want to know the thing that pisses me off about Inquisition the most? If you play your cards right (have Alistair stay a warden and side with the mages instead of the templars) You can have Alistair and Fiona both at Skyhold at the exact same time and there's not a single interaction between the two of them. Which from Alistair's perspective is stupid because Fiona is a grey warden who's been cured of the blight and from Fiona's perspective is frustrating because she is his mother and she knows she's his mother
“Oh I shouldn’t talk to him because his father asked me not let him know he’s my son” Girly Maric’s dead and you have agency over your life. Get your ass to the courtyard and at least introduce yourself as the cured warden??????
#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#alistair theirin#grand enchanter fiona#I remember just looking at her !!!!!!!!!#girly pop he's in the courtyard right now don't ask me how he's doing go over there!#also Leliana doesn't talk to him either GIRL WHAT ARE **YOU** DOING

I am a good person. I am a powerful person, I don't believe in evil. I think that evil is an idea created by others to avoid dealing with their own nature. I understand my own nature, good and evil have nothing to do with it.

Crawling out of burnout one loop at a time
Yes still trying to get them to be mobian- Nothing to do with the fact I have been playing Sonic Adventure 2 for the first time and I just finished Sonic Adventure 1, that would never happen
Don't think I'll put sonic in the tags
And lastly, somethings about their fight. Forcibly changing loop from an Fossa to an Swallow feels so mean but I remember reading that in some mitologies birds make the milky way (or something like that. Don't trust me with 100% sureness! I don't remember things that well, lmao)
#isat#in stars and time#pipposketchdump#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat spoilers#isat loop#in stars and time spoilers#They're both Fossas!#Yes the little fellas from madagascar (why they're there in references)#I don't remember the name of their family but they're not canines and they aren't felines either!#They also only exist in madagascar. Found it a funny little thing to put#To two people that are the only proof that an entire island existed.#I beleive king would be a leemur (?) or a fossa too#keeping at the “animals from madagascar” motif for those of the forgotten island

Man, it's cool and all if you see a metaphor for marginalisation in the monstrous, and if you want the power fantasy of 'what if you could just eat anybody who threatened you/pissed you off'. Me too.
However, as soon as you start saying 'no, these monsters are a 1:1 on Specific Marginalised Group, and you have to treat them in the fiction like they are directly representative of real human members of the marginalised group', BUT you also, in the fiction, make them hurt/kill/eat humans? And then try to shame me, your audience, for noticing or engaging with the bit where they kill people, because you made them directly representative of a real-world marginalised group? You have lost me, and also, I think, the plot.
#hear yourself. for the love of whatever you cherish.#'but they only kill bigots so ACTUALLY they're the GOOD GUYS -' your metaphor of monstrosity is entirely premised on the question of#'what if what you went around righteously killing; believing your actions to be justified;#were actually people and it was not in fact righteous or justified to just kill them'#'what if the world isn't neatly split into 'good guys' and 'bad guys'#who gets to decide who or what is 'bad'? because that's the original problem of monstrosity-as-metaphor-for-marginalisation#(if as a creator you say 'oh my intention with this was X' cool!#if instead you go with something like. well.#'well in this setting monsters are so rare it doesn't matter that they kill people and you'd have to be a homicidal sadistic psychopath >#< to hunt them; but sure I guess if you want to play a Bad Person' well I might have#but if you're going to explicitly judge me for wanting to engage with the moral question of 'how justified is this and who would do it#versus how justified are these monsters if they do have to harm or kill people to continue to exist'#then maybe I just don't want to play your game at all)#anyway I'm sick to death of poor uwu cozy vampires who are SO marginalised so I'm not Allowed to care about all the people they murder#it being fucked up is what's fun about it! do all the other shit but let me take the murders seriously!#and inb4 someone accuses me of being a bigot for saying 'actually I don't think you get a free pass to kill and eat people if you're gay'#remember when the CW's famously reactionary and conservative Supernatural tried to just gloss over the part where every time its heroes >#< killed a demon with a magic knife it also killed the person the demon was possessing#and say 'oh no it's fine we don't care about those killings; they don't matter; don't bother caring about them either'#but they were doing it to glorify exactly the kind of people that these 'monster as metaphor' stories are trying to cast as expendable?#I have other examples that are like. real dramas. but That Paranormal Show is the one that's in the same niche that I'm talking about here#it feels more insidious when it comes through a fantasy show where there are monsters involved#so you can say 'no it's not real so it doesn't matter'#but then ALL of it is equally not real. and vampires are not actually an oppressed group. because they don't exist.#you can say 'these vampires are a metaphor for an oppressed group so this fiction matters in real life'#or you can say 'don't care about the murders because they weren't actually real'#but you can't say both and then get mad at ME for treating the murders as seriously as the vampires#let me engage with your premise and don't waste my fucking time#or just set your fluff in the Sesame Street universe where vampires drink cherry Kool-Aid and help kids learn to count

Do you ever think about how Shen Yuan was completely valid for his reaction to PIDW?
If you've ever wondered how Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua might've experienced PIDW (whether writing, reading, living it.. etc) just watch Supernatural.
I was watching some Supernatural episodes and I just realized this is our real life PIDW, we have like 15 seasons?? (Literally nobody else I know have even watched or finished the series except for me. My family & friends thinks I'm delusional for watching this very long trainwreck)
Plot? Is so long and rich that I genuinely discover new things every time I decide to rewatch ANY of the seasons... Everytime I discover I forgot some pretty major events. but sometimes it's also lowkey bad writing and we have BIG plot holes that nobody addresses even after the show ends.
World building? Magnificent. If not for the new cool creatures (new wives) added left and right never to be mentioned again.
The main wives_ ahem, creatures..(Castiel, ALL the angels, Lucifer, Gabriel, "the prophet"... you see what I mean..?) were really cool and powerful at first until they got lost somewhere in the plot.
As for Characters? Don't get me wrong I love my boys, but you have to admit Sam and Dean were ridiculously overpowered. They killed every single being under the sun (HOW did the universe in Supernatural not collapse??? You cannot convince me all that messing around did NOT cause some catastrophic power imbalance in creation Itself!!) including themselves like an unreasonable amount of times and just came back to life completely fine after and kept walking.
Honestly OG Luo Binghe could only dream of reaching that level of plot armor. No wonder my guy Shen Yuan was pissed.
#svsss#PIDW is Supernatural#supernatural is PIDW#supernatural#scum villains self saving system#luo binghe#shen yuan#shang qinghua#i just realized#this is how SY felt#we are all like SY and SQH in a way#and then the protagonist just dies at the end#SY was right#That was my exact reaction to Supernatural's finale#6666 chapters is nothing#try 15 seasons#you know who is also valid? SQH.#no wonder my guy couldn't remember the plot to save his life#I wouldn't either#isn't it funny that he's also the “prophet” in his own novel#didn't we have THE literal freaking antichrist at some point....??#What happened to that guy? I Don't remember him ever being mentioned again

[ID: Panels from chapter 101 of the Natsume's Book of Friends manga. Natsume thanks Natori and Matoba for coming to rescue him and Nyanko-sensei. Natori's serious but unsurprised expression remains unchanged over three panels. Matoba's lips are slightly parted, and in the second panel he says, "Huh…?" /end ID]
the contrast in reactions between natori and matoba...matoba and his little taken aback "what the hell am i supposed to do with this bid for human connection" face that i hold so dear. idk what's going on with natori exactly but my guess is he's just. really scared for natsume. he must have been, to have gone to get matoba. natsume doesn't get natori's affectionately indulgent look until after the danger has passed. natori's gotta get his game face on.
#matoba gets a couple of affectionately indulgent looks from natori though. at least two#once when natori is telling natsume that matoba always liked cats (he's talking to natsume but looking at matoba)#and once when natori shows up to save matoba's ass and says 'i was trying to help actually'#WE GET IT. YOU CARE HIM.#natsume's book of friends#natsume yuujinchou#natori shuuichi#matoba seiji#my posts#homura cats arc#f#but i don't think 'game face' is quite right either...natori's game face looks more determined. eyebrows drawn down#this is just such a stoic face. i can't really figure out what he's thinking here#i actually pulled out these panels to talk about matoba but i got distracted by natori. and others before me have already made#some very good posts collecting instances of matoba reacting this way. i just couldn't remember if these panels were included

i still think that percy should have remembered sally instead of annabeth in son of neptune. don't get me wrong, I like percabeth too and i understand that they had a deep relationship or whatever.
but come on, sally literally put up with gabe for percy, you know the kind of courage that would have required? especially after what she went through previously? she was always the one constant in his life and she should have been acknowledged (grover too should have had a larger role in hoo but that's a whole seperate rant)
look I'm not saying that annabeth isn't important, she is a very big part of percy's life... but sally should have been remembered
#and don't even get me started on that judo flip in moa I could rant about that too#pjo#hoo#son of neptune#sally jackson#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#grover underwood#scheduled post#rr crit#come on rick you could have done better in EVERYTHING#it's not like the annabeth thing was important to the plot either but sally should have been acknowledged#at least jason remembering thalia makes sense#him remembering annabeth was just a way to remember chb which he could have remembered bc of sally too

is lyney the first character who actually is at a disadvantage in rainy weather. first character from the water nation is the first character in the game who doesn't like rain
#lyney#lynette#freminet#genshin impact#2023#fanart#lynette is a second fontaine character for purposes of this accessment bc it's funnier like this#i guess lyney likes rain until lvl 60 because free vaporize is still nice and all#but how many people are going to use him under level 60#is level 60 the a4 one?? i don't remember#vaporize lyney holding hands with vaporize nilou: who cares about reading all those passives am i right#i'm personally building him physical either way for funsies so meta be damned
