Also like … I was getting exhausted just looking at Viren. So in the nicest possible way: I hope he stays dead. The man needs his peace.

God, of COURSE the reaction to “Anyone can wear the mask” is “but not everyone will accept that.” And Miles internalizing the heartbreak of that kind of rejection from what he considered (hoped) to be HIS people leads to him understanding the next step is to reject the system that says he doesn’t belong.

Do we like the idea of Fingon with his hair braided like that:

And then, after he dies, Maedhros starts braiding his own hair like this with Fingon’s ribbon:

Do we like this idea?

What I love about Dungeon Meshi is that it says “eat, or be eaten,” but not as in “survival of the fittest.” “Eat, or be eaten,” because there is no third choice—every day of your life, one or the other will happen. If you choose not to eat, you will be eaten. Eating is a mandatory part of being alive. The failure to acknowledge this makes you weak, guarantees that you will fail—as seen with Shuro, as seen with Thistle.

“Eat, or be eaten,” because “living things take other lives as sustenance, and no one is exempt.” If you eat—if you are a living thing—you will be eaten one day. Whether it's to literally be killed and eaten for your flesh, or decomposed down to the bone—violently or painlessly, quickly or slowly, you will be eaten and turned into sustenance for other living things. A dead body is always consumed as food, and there is no meaningful distinction between the two. The only way to avoid it is to have never been born at all.

“Eat, or be eaten,” because “eating is a privilege of the living.” And isn’t that incredible? To be a living thing is to have the privilege of eating. To have the ability to eat is a boon, an honour, a birthright. It is the unique, universe-given gift and right of all living things. It is synonymous with being alive—to live is to eat. To eat is to be eaten. We are eaten because we eat, we die because we were born, and the privilege of eating is earned through the inevitability of our deaths. The two cannot be separated. 

“Eat, or be eaten,” because “eating is a privilege of the living” and the reason why a mortal man could topple the personification of infinity—it cannot die, therefore it is not alive, yet it chose to eat. But to eat at all is to become a thing that can be eaten—choosing to take means you will have things taken from you in the same manner. The moment that Laios accepted this—after killing his sister with his own hands—was the moment the Winged Lion had already lost.

Dungeon Meshi is far from the first story to say, “memento mori.” But it takes the inevitability of death—a concept too distant and philosophical to grip the average person—and reframes it within the act of eating. Makes it visceral by using a universal part of daily life, a routine that every living thing is intimately familiar with. 

“Remember that you will die,” it says, but furthermore, “remember that your future death is a prerequisite for the food you are able to eat now—remember that other things die so that you can eat, remember that you will die to feed something else, and that there is no other alternative. There is no way to stop this. To take is to have things taken from you. To eat is to be eaten one day. There is nothing kind or cruel about this—it just is, and you must be the one to understand it and bring meaning to your own existence.

In light of all this, why wouldn't you choose to live as deliciously as possible?”

working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything

Do you ever think about Anthony's guilt? Because I do. As he ran through the compartments of the never ending train, do you think he thought about the day he'd gotten his son an engine instead of a car? Do you think he remembered the fateful day when he answered his son's questions and shut down his son's fears (what was his name? He can't remember his own son's name), tried desperately to ignore the panic lacing his voice as he showed him (he didn't tell him. He mustn't tell anyone) the hole in the wall?

Do you think he regrets the evening he boarded up the hole and called it a day, refusing to acknowledge and investigate what was clearly making his son uneasy? Do you think he regrets letting him sleep in his own room that night, with the voices ensnaring him slowly? Does he blame himself for unwittingly dooming his little boy?

This is an Anthony appreciation post because he dove through the portal that had swallowed his son without a thought. Because he broke the fundamental rules of this twisted dimension in order to save his now-nameless child. Because he looked an eldritch entity of unimaginable power in the eye and was ready to fight him with his bare hands. All because he refused let himself lose his son a second time.

M. Márquez & Honda—Something in the Orange

Marc Màrquez and Honda ended their 11 year long journey of incredible highs and inevitable lows, having won 6 premiere class world-championships, 5 triple crowns, 59 victories, 101 podiums and 64 poles together.

The end of an era has come. 🤍

How does Bauhauzzo react when Huzzle shows up with a living Click Clack?

Huzzle almost immediately went to Bauhauzzo in the au, actually! He's busy trying to slow the advancement of the rift (just as a precaution, it'd be fine without him- but to err on the side of caution is a good idea, he thinks.) He responds pretty calmly, all being considered.

I also thinks he tries to offer his perspective to his sibling to calm it down a little bit. Loss has been one of the most reoccurring themes in history, a chorus of "If only"s and "what ifs" everyone experiences after all. bonus sillies:

The fact that One Piece has CONTINUOUSLY done character death fakeouts to the point where when someone dies you EXPECT them to turn around and say oh actually haha I survived jk lol not dead. But it’s all just a setup. They’re doing this to me on purpose so that when someone ACTUALLY dies for realsies and STAYS dead it is going to Hurt. And I am not Ready for that,

two builds from creative as well

interior practice + a funky house that is also a functional survival base ( admittedly tho made out of very late-game materials )

Seeing people say that we never see the Doctor and Ruby talking for more than 30 seconds makes me think 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble has just clouded their memories because the first four episodes of this era are almost nothing but the Doctor and Ruby talking and bonding.

Yeah, the Doctor-lite episodes meant we haven't had as much lately, but so many are going on as there's been none at all, as if every episode before 73 Yards was like Rogue where they were mostly separated in their own plotlines.
