Watching a good number of the Texas MAGA folk I know now cope with the fact that the administration they voted for and the routine voting of right wing politicians who deny climate change and climate sciences has directly impacted the tragedy that is happening in Kerrville and surrounding areas. Here's the thing. A lot of people are going to say "Don't politicize their deaths" regarding the victims of this flooding event. They'll cry foul and tell you not to politicize such a tragedy. And they're full of shit. This is exactly the type of event that should be politicized and analyzed as to what government actions and inactions directly contributed to such an event. I know a bunch of climatologists throughout the South and Midwest and you know what they talk about consistently? That they're ignored by their state politicians and legislature when they tell them something like this will occur.
Just like it did in Nebraska back 2019, the governments of the surrounding states were directly informed for years by climatologists that it would be a when and not an if regarding a massive flooding event. Every single governor was informed or there was an attempt made to inform them (and they actively would avoid those meetings and exchanges).
The Midwest saw massive flooding damage in 2019 and only a few towns had any reprieve. Why? Because their city councils and politicians had listened to the experts and made the necessary changes over time. Being prepared for climate change induced extreme weather events requires preparation and implementing changes over the course of years that will pay off in the long run.
Unfortunately a lot of politicians only exist in the here and now and under reactionary conditions.
This Texas Flooding disaster is a mix of politicians not listening, denying any such event could occur, making cuts to the programs and technologies that prepare for such things (because climate science is a liberal conspiracy), and not wanting to make changes that may be "unpopular" (but beneficial in the long run).
What is going to happen is there will be a lot of them saying how they either couldn't have been prepared for such an event or that they did all they could. They will then offer aid and assistance, help the families and business effected, but they will not listen to any of the experts and implement the necessary changes to make sure this doesn't happen again. Because to them this is a fluke weather event and not the compounding effect of science denial and incompetency.
Now I'm sitting here waiting for DMORT to activate me and my colleagues so we can go down and help, and I can't help but be fucking pissed.
#us politics#us climate disaster#Texas Flooding#Being a death expert means dealing with horrific shit#But being an ecologist as well means I know what political incompetency led to this#If you've voted for climate science denying politicians for years this is the direct effect of your actions#These are also the type of Trump voters who support local queer and progressive ideals but their actual voting politics contradict them#They think their small local community action offsets the sweeping state and nation wide damaging policies they vote for

What if a scholar fell in love with a gleaner and they were both nature nerds?
Back on my Rhalaville bs. They would be the best buddies for a hike if you need info about a cool bug or plant. That is, if you want to activate the unskippable cutscene. Plants are Rhala's special interest.
#Y'rhala#Erenville#Rhalaville#Since Rhala's canon is as a Scion in EW+ and not the WoL himself#I imagine Rhala got more close with Erenville#by being sent with him on natural requisitions in Tural#experts in flora and fauna being ideal for such things#Plus Erenville's familiarity with Tural#Thus the crush turned into full-on#'Okay yeah I really do like him'#Also side note;#I absolutely LOVE the wildflowers in upper Kozama'uka#They're beautiful#Anyway#that's enough catposting out of me#Time for bed

considering how strong the tale of two cities seems to have influenced tid, it’ll be fascinating to see the similarities between twp and (presumably) le morte d’arthur, because cc tends to know her shit when it comes to classics. livvy is strongly guinevere to me, and kit morgan le fay, which i guess makes ty merlin. ash is like, lowkey king arthur. but it’ll be interesting to see who she decides to parallel who
#dru is much harder to decide bc my heart says she’s like. gawain or one of the other knights. for some reason.#twp#the wicked powers#kit herondale#ty blackthorn#livvy blackthorn#dru blackthorn#ash morgenstern#i’m not an arthurian expert and also every tale is their like. own thing#so it depends on which story she takes stuff from? but i’d presume it’s le mort d’arthur by malory#i can see guinevere dru and king arthur ash HOWEVER i dont think that fits as well#if dru was guinevere ash would be lancelot. bc she actually likes him. arthur & gwen were more political & ‘ideal marriage’ than loving#(morgan le fay started out as a healer & she and merlin have had mad historical affairs. they’re both magic users)#(morgan is sometimes equated to the lady of the lake and sometimes not.)#(my healer kit agenda is still going strong 👍 but also morgan is written as more evil/trickstery as time went on)

I keep seeing people react to Severance posts exploring the autonomy issues inherent to two people sharing a physical form with "what the FUCK is Severance about????" etc. etc. as if they have never encountered the concept of bodysharing before. is that not a pretty well-established trope/story element. have people simply never heard of bodysharing. when you have two guys but they have to take turns with the body. c'mon i know you all saw venom.
#did i just spend too much time with like yugioh and fullmetal alchemist that im having an xkcd ''experts overestimate'' moment#surely everyone knows about the trope when you got two guys and they have to share a body.#and maybe they hate each other. or fall in love. or finally unify their consciousnesses. ideally as homoerotically as possible

i am a firm believer in that akasha is marius' mother figure and their relationship is intentionally meant to parallel him and his human mother
#imho its not a long shot to consider akasharius/marikasha (idk) psuedoincest either#i should probably write an analysis longpost about it but still the signs are there in canon. marius was groomed to be the god of the grove#whos alternatively called “the lover of the [great] mother” as well. a little bit of a given that their relationship is blurry to#the human (our) eyes even if its simply because they are vampires and fundamentally are not restrained by our own ideas and labels to thing#but marius really did love akasha as a mother (or perhaps his concept of one) as a goddess/deity and as an object/project of his#as for akasha well. cant say im an expert on our (former) queen of the damned but in-turn she loved marius as a servant. never a son as he#mightve wished for her to. this is to say that while akasha didnt see marius as her son she definitely hit the spot on his mommy issues™#obv she didnt love marius enough to Not leave him immediately for lestat lol but emphasis on the “servant” part of “loved him as a servant”#this is demonstrated by the fact eudoxia enthusiastically offers to replace marius as twmbks keeper but akasha is like lmfao hell no#and makes the choice to retain marius instead. because tbh he IS the ideal... (trying to find synonyms for servant) ... lackey??? for twmbk#dare i say marius saying that he used to lay against akashas breast to “listen to her heart” and “try fathoming her thoughts” reminds me of#skin-to-skin (head-to-chest) contact between a parent and their child (baby) so theres that too#anyway this has more text than the og post alone so ill shut up for now... do we see the vision???#ive slept like 2 hours be kind if my english isnt the best rn#xndead rambles#xndead father of lies#marius de romanus#akasha#the vampire chronicles#tvc#cw incest

"Among their complaints [in 1460, the Yorkists] specifically blamed the earls of Wiltshire and Shrewsbury and Viscount Beaumont for ‘stirring’ the king [Henry VI] to hold a parliament at Coventry that would attaint them and for keeping them from the king’s presence and likely mercy, asserting that this was done against [the king's] will. To this they added the charge that these evil counselors were also tyrannizing other true men* without the king’s knowledge. Such claims of malfeasance obliquely raised the question of Henry’s fitness as a king, for how could he be deemed competent if such things happened without his knowledge and against his wishes? They also tied in rumors circulating somewhat earlier in the southern counties and likely to have originated in Calais that Henry was really ‘good and gracious Lord to the [Yorkists] since, it was alleged, he had not known of or assented to their attainders. On 11 June the king was compelled to issue a proclamation stating that they were indeed traitors and that assertions to the contrary were to be ignored."
— Helen Maurer, Margaret of Anjou: "Queenship and Power in Late Medieval England
Three things that we can surmise from this:
We know where the "Henry was an innocent helpless king being controlled and manipulated by his Evil™ advisors" rhetoric came from**.
The Yorkists were deliberately trying to downplay Henry VI's actual role and involvement in politics and the Wars of the Roses. They cast him as a "statue of a king", blamed all royal policies and decisions on others*** (claiming that Henry wasn't even aware of them), and framed themselves as righteous and misunderstood counselors who remained loyal to the crown. We should keep this in mind when we look at chronicles' comments of Henry's alleged passivity and the so-called "role reversal" between him and Margaret.
Henry VI's actual agency and involvement is nevertheless proven by his own actions. We know what he thought of the Yorkists, and we know he took the effort to publicly counter their claims through a proclamation of his own. That speaks louder than the politically motivated narrative of his enemies, don't you think?
*There was some truth to these criticisms. For example, Wiltshire (ie: one of the men named in the pamphlet) was reportedly involved in a horrible situation in June which included hangings and imprisonments for tax resistance in Newbury. The best propagandists always contain a degree of truth, etc. **I've seen some theories on why Margaret of Anjou wasn't mentioned in these pamphlets alongside the others even though she was clearly being vilified during that time as well, and honestly, I think those speculations are mostly unnecessary. Margaret was absent because it was regarded as very unseemly to target queens in such an officially public manner. We see a similar situation a decade later: Elizabeth Woodville was vilified and her whole family - popularly and administratively known as "the queen's kin" - was disparaged in Warwick and Clarence's pamphlets. This would have inevitably associated her with their official complaints far more than Margaret had been, but she was also not directly mentioned. It was simply not considered appropriate. ***This narrative was begun by the Duke of York & Warwick and was - demonstrably - already widespread by the end of 1460. When Edward IV came to power, there seems to have been a slight shift in how he spoke of Henry (he referred to Henry as their "great enemy and adversary"; his envoys were clearly willing to acknowledge Henry's role in Lancastrian resistance to Yorkist rule; etc), but he nevertheless continued the former narrative for the most part. I think this was because 1) it was already well-established and widespread by his father, and 2) downplaying Henry's authority would have served to emphasize Edward's own kingship, which was probably advantageous for a usurper whose deposed rival was still alive and out of reach. In some sense, the Lancastrians did the same thing with their own propaganda across the 1460s, which was clearly not as effective in terms of garnering support and is too long to get into right now, but was still very relevant when it came to emphasizing their own right to the throne while disparaging the Yorkists' claim.
#henry vi#my post#wars of the roses#margaret of anjou#Look I’m not trying to argue that Henry VI was secretly some kind of Perfect King™ whose only misfortune was to be targeted by the Yorkists#That is...obviously pushing it and obviously not true#Henry was very imperfect; he did make lots of errors and haphazard/unpopular decisions; and he did ultimately lose/concede defeat#in both the Hundred Years War and the subsequent Wars of the Roses.#He was also clearly less effective than his predecessor and successor (who unfortunately happened to be his father and usurper respectively#and that comparison will always affect our view of his kingship. It's inevitable and in some sense understandable.#But it's hardly fair to simply accept and parrot the Yorkist narrative of him being a “puppet of a king”.#Henry *did* have agency and he was demonstrably involved in the events around him#From sponsoring alchemists to issuing proclamations to participating in trials against the Yorkists (described in the 1459 attainder)#We also know that he was involved in administration though it seems as though he was being heavily advised/handheld by his councilors#That may be the grain of truth which the Yorkists' image of him was based on.#But regardless of Henry's aptitude he was clearly *involved* in ruling#Just like he was involved in plots against Yorkist rule in the early 1460s before he was captured.#And he did have some successes! For example in 1456 he travelled to Chester and seems to have been responsible#for reconciling Nicholas ap Gruffyd & his sons to the crown and granting them a general pardon.#Bizarrely Ralph Griffiths has credited Margaret for this even though there is literally no evidence that she was involved.#We don't even know if she travelled with Henry and the patent rolls offering the pardon never mention her.#Griffiths seems to have simply assumed that it was Margaret's doing because of 1) his own assumption that she was entirely in control#while Henry was entirely passive and 2) because it (temporarily) worked against Yorkist interests.#It's quite frustrating because this one of the most probable examples we have of Henry's own participation in ruling in the late 1450s#But as usual his involvement is ignored :/#Also all things considered:#The verdict on Henry's kingship may not have been so damning if his rule hadn't been opposed or if the Lancastrians had won the war?#Imo it's doubtful he would be remembered very well (his policies re the HYW and the economic problems of that time were hardly ideal)#but I think it's unlikely that he would have been remembered as a 'failed king' / antithesis of ideal kingship either#Does this make sense? (Henry VI experts please chime in because I am decidedly not one lol)

they either need to let me analyse kick samples more often or hide them from me bc for whatever reason the moment they end up in my hands i find shit never seen before
#lily talks#today on “excuse me i'm stuck identifying this species”#“i have never seen that in 15 years of studying this stream”#cue 20 min discussion with several experts LMAO#same shit happened last time i did this and found something so small my professor couldn't believe i saw it with my bare eyes lol#today the hypothesis is that i found a newly hatched polyclad flatworm#looked like a pulsating blob with veins#also my opinion stands:#my ideal job would be to just sit there and sift through these samples all day#(i'll leave the identification to someone else)#it's like meditation to me#so relaxing

Everyone sleeps on the suppository
#els.txt#this is not a joke either. the suppository is a medical godsend#they’re ideal for people who can’t swallow because of nausea vomiting or are too young etc#and absorption is directly through the mucus membrane rather than going through the whole digestive tract#like it’s not the ideal choice for all medicines right#but it is good for a lot of them. probably more than we (non experts) realize

The real tragedy with Jaeha to me, outside of the recent events, is his realization that he's losing his usefulness for yona, and even starts to chain her down. I think. This is all in my head for now truly but I'm like,, damn he sure is taking the L a lot recently! so I pray this will be adressed later on but you know at the beginning of the castle arc when he tells Yona hey I told you I was your legs :) and she rejects him, because she can't risk it. Like, Yona wasn't in the wrong here, it's just that Yona in the castle arc was entering a battle that has no need for the dragons' powers. People in the castle arent chained literally, they're chained by their duties and the isolation that comes with having more power and information. That distance is not something that can be crossed literally by flying away. But anyway it was still painful for both of them, Jaeha quickly connects the dots and understands the reason behind that, but that only makes him more willing to find a way to help.
Then he is deployed in Kin Province, and as he realizes that Hak is fighting there he makes it his new goal to bring him to Suwon, only to fail to save him from the flooding, as he sees him be engulfed in that wave under his very eyes, and can't find any trace of him for days after it happens. Losing Hak is devastating enough given how much he cares for him, but it adds to the hypothetical feeling that he failed and his leg couldn't bring him to Hak in time.
But it's fine, his presence alone is enough, he is loved and he's like a big brother to Yona, if she needs comfort, because hell this is about hak obviously she will be devastated, he can comfort her...and then Yona hides her sorrow from him and confides to Suwon of all people instead. Sure breaking down in front of Suwon wasn't her intent at all, but she still did in the end. Yona used to cry and confides to Jaeha before (like in the Sei forts arc when she failed to protect Lili), so why? And how not to be jealous of Suwon that seems to have a bond with her that even death and betrayal will never completely break?
He plays an important role in the battle against Kai, so sure, at least his powers still have some use and raises the moral of the troops as well, but now these same powers causes terror instead.
And before that he got captured, again, and as much as Yona defied our expectations and showed her development with a cycle of similar events but a better outcome and way of dealing with it (ie: kidnapping scenario), that is not the case for the dragons. Yona had complete control over her capture, it was her plan, and she could free herself with her own power. Yona is moving ahead of them, never intending to leave them behind, but she doesn't depend on their powers at all anymore.
So really, what does Jaeha have left at this point? Now Yona is the one who has to save him from his own powers! Jaeha who refused to join Yona at first because he didn't want to be chained down by destiny and a prophecy is now the one chained her down oh the irony of it all...
It's no surprise that Jaeha would decide to leave the ddhhb for good, his legs literally can't bring him to them anymore and worse he risks to hurt them, no matter how much he wants to come home, to them, he just can't. He can't be what Garou was to him and selfishly weights them down.
Since the beginning of the castle arc he sees again and again that Yona and Hak are doing fine without him. If Yona is in a pitch or needs comfort there are other people she can seek out. Jaeha wanted to help Hak reach Suwon and in the end he did it all on his own (Just to be clear Hak could obviously not have emotionally done it without Jaeha's support). The encampment arc ended up being resolved by everyone but the dragons, the story in general is at a point where their utility reached their limit, so what now?
The crimson illness is very tied to the mental state of those who have it, worsening when they're under stress and emotional turmoil, so I don't think it's too farfetched to theorize it might be the same for the dragons now. Kija is able to resist it because he has always been the most strong willed and stable of them. So yeah tbh more than Jaeha dying to me I think it's more him isolating himself to protect yona&co and he's not done done for. for now. I don't think he's lying about reaching the end of his lifespan etc(it's the same word as the end of an object's useful life in japanese btw.) but anyway oh well. All that to say I don't think he's dead and this is very much the occasion to finally break the connection the dragons have with their tragic fate and their powers that bring far more bad than good. What Jaeha needs is the reassurance that he is needed and that this does not depend on his powers at all.
#akayona thoughts#akayona246#akayonaspoilers#jaeha#lumen rants#i didnt want to talk about c246 at first but oops#rare time i barely mention suwon. enjoy.#tbh im not really a jaeha expert so if im wrong feel free to correct me...#squeezing him like a dishrag . that guy has so many issues like#kusanagi LOVES to torture him more than anyone else tbh#the entire deal w the dragons everytime is so against him and his ideals specifically lmao#like losing his freedom in every possible way#yeah being with the ddhhb is his freedom#except that he would still bound to them even if he didn't love them. and it's deeply fucked up#I probably see angst where there isn't.

As a bit of a Mario Maker-er and Super Mario World romhacker, I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is that has me so bored of official traditional Mario games even though I clearly like Mario, and I think I might be getting closer to figuring it out, and what I'm thinking about seems to be core to the standard-versus-kaizo divide as well. It comes up a lot when making stuff.
Powerups. Namely, the fact that powerups are both your abilities and your extra hits at the same time. Most Mario powerups beyond the basic shroom are big gamechangers that affect how you deal with enemies and sometimes even how you move around the level, or let you interact with things that you otherwise just straight up can't, and they can sometimes be brought in from other levels to allow for new approaches.
But... you can lose them by getting hit.
Which means every level has to be beatable without them. Which means there can't be levels based around mastering how to use them, or that contain dangers balanced around you having them. You can't have flight focused courses requiring acrobatics that non-flight powerups can't pull off, or combat gauntlets balanced around you having fireballs and stuff, or whatever. They have to all be clearable by small Mario. They have to default to Dudes on Ledges and Platforms at Random Heights level design to be safe. Even if that means you can completely trivialize the setups they were trying to do with aforementioned dudes on ledges and platforms' placements by shooting at and flying over them. They also have to design all the platforming to have enough wiggle room that small or big Mario can both make all the necessary maneuvers.
What if you played a Mario level, or even game, that just assumed you had a grappling hook, could not be beaten without learning how to use it, and didn't take it away from you or make you shrink when you got hit, and powerups were just HP? That's what romhackers get to play around with.
Mario powerups to me are like... a momentum system that makes it faster to trivially blast through levels you're having an easy time with because you beat them before and need to get back to where you died... in a series that has not sent you back to the start on a game over in over 30 years.
#level design#super mario world#mario maker#idk what to even tag this just musing aloud about game design stuff don't take me as an expert#it really seems like something has been left in by habit it would be better off without and the mario-64-like games know this already#so many fan levels only give you mushrooms and that's it but that's not the ideal solution either#frogs and raccoons and cats and capes and fireballs are fun

finally caved and watched the rival sock symbolism video and i. i think i get what hes trying to do but he doesnt actually understand how character design works
#like im not an expert on this but#ideally you want your audience to be able to tell what a characters deal is at a glance#and i dont know about you but my first thoughts looking at someones socks isnt how 'pure/impure' of heart they are#like when i first saw sonokos design i didnt think#“oh she has short grey socks that means she has both good and evil in her heart”#i thought “oh shorter socks are more practical and the grey color is to fit her more muted color palette”
