I get why people headcanon that Trucy would call Edgeworth "Uncle Miles" because it represents how close he is to Nick and Trucy and how he's basically part of the family etc. HOWEVER I cannot help but imagine the shock and horror of passersby who hear Trucy call one man "uncle" and one "daddy" as they watch Nick and Miles interact lovingly in public and come to the conclusion that Nick is openly cheating on his spouse with his spouse's brother.
#they're like “oh my god and he has a daughter... this affair must be tearing the family apart has he no shame”#I do in general like the idea of kids calling your friends uncle or aunt. Very it takes a village to raise a child#it's often a cultural thing to call everyone aunt and uncle too which i do in my family!#I just don't love it when the dad and friend-uncle are ambiguous lovers!!! But this is a lighthearted complaint. I jest#i don't think people would think they were brothers thank god but that would be equally unfortunate if not more so#I personally enjoy a Mr. Miles/ Miss Trucy dynamic where Miles is formal with her but kind of as a joke#and FOR HIM that is intimate and close bc usually he uses people's last names (he calls maya miss fey)#I don't think Edgeworth could ever be anything but Miles to Trucy idk#Not in a bad way! I just think like.... he's not her dad in the same way... he would be very stiff and awkward but care for her deeply#like i don't think he would ever be a very cuddly huggy kind of paternal figure for her.#he would do that dad thing where he's like oh you mentioned you like this candy I will by you a huge case of it#he would be like i heard you like magic so i watched a documentary on it so we can discuss it intellectually#He would stay up late to help her with her math homework#ace attorney#trucy wright#phoenix wright#miles edgeworth#dadnix#dadworth#narumitsu#i am a queerplatonic narumitsu truther but I am willing to let them be romantically in love when it's funny

People will hate on Snape for being mean and sarcastic with children but he was mean and sarcastic with everyone. He was just treating his students with the same respect he gave everyone else, if you think about it.
#tbh I'm really tired of Americans projecting their “anyone under 18 is a baby and must be infantilized” attitude onto nonAmerican characters#British teachers treat students like tiny adults#you can take issue with that but it's a cultural thing not something unique to a character you speficially don't like#British teachers also call students “Mr./Ms. ____” because again they treat children like tiny adults in a lot of ways#and tbh I think some of it reasonable. teenagers are still developing but treating them as people with responsibility for themselves#is a form of respecting their autonomy

So since mxtx has said that in novel canon nie huaisang is eventually going to end up being chief cultivator we can presume the headshaker thing, while based on his existing personality, was in fact an act and he is way more competent at his job than he's let on. And with Jin Guangyao dead and gone he has no reason to put on that act anymore.
Imagine being an Nie cultivator. Your flopppy incompetent sect leader comes home from traumatic events after it turns out his older brother's sworn brother- who's been over to your sect basically every other week for years now- is the one that killed said brother and you're fully prepared for tears and dramatics. And while you definitley don't like lianfang-zun since it just came out he killed your last (way more competent) sect leader he was sorta the one holding the sect together so you're bracing yourself for the worst, and instead he's... stoic? Paperwork is suddenly getting done well and on time without help. He's not wailing during negotiations anymore and you're getting actual good trade deals for the first time in over a decade. He answers questions now? With something other than "I don't know i don't know i really don't know!"
And even if you had none of the revelations wei wuxian had in guanyin temple, slowly the realization creeps up on you that all his earlier embarassing antics that cost your family their comfortable livelihoods and your sect their good name was on purpose. And from there it's not that hard to put two and two together. The rest of the cultivation world assumes the shock of jin guangyao's betrayal has finally forced the headshaker to grow up a little but you have worked side by side with him for a decade, probably even watched him grow up under his brother's rule. You know better.
How do you feel at that point? What can you even do? He's your sect leader. And he's finally doing his job, things are looking up, shouldn't you feel relieved? It' not like his incompetence really caused any deaths among the nie, just wiped out generational wealth and reputation that will take years and years to build back up. Is it really reasonable to only start hating someone for something when they've stopped doing it? Thereby proving that they were capable of stopping all along?
#mdzs#nie huaisang#mdzs meta#sort of?#oh the urge to write a fic from the pov of a nie cultivator oc feeling INCREDIBLY conflicted about nie huaisang#the absolute generational culture shock between the nies that grew up under lao nie and nmj who watched the sect decline in adulthood#the nies that grew up under flop era nhs and have only ever heard of their better days until things start improving again#and the ones that will be growing up under chief cultivator nhs who kind of can't imagine that he was ever THAT bad.#the rumours must be exaggerrated right?#like 13 years postcanon a 15 year old disciple a 27 year old cultivator and a sect elder are all gonna have DRAMATICALLY different opinions

to say people withholding their vote in America aren't 'pragmatic' enough is so dismissive. as a fellow European like idk what I would've done either if I was an American.
Otherwise I would be sorry to be dismissive but in this situation I think it is completely acceptable, if not necessary, to vote for the lesser evil. Voting is not about your inner true values, it is about society, and especially in the American setting where you essentially have only two options, you need to be able to make hard decisions. If you're seriously indicating that on the whole Harris is bad as Trump, you need to take a cold hard look at the reality of the matters at hand. Harris is not ideal, and it hurts to vote for her especially when you think about Gaza, but Trump is a fascist and his supporters in the Republican party are dangerous to democracy and human rights. This is not a situation where you get to opt out. Not voting is a vote for Trump.
#historically low citizen activity and apathy towards politics is poison for democracy#this is one of the reasons russia never became a democracy. the culture there generally believes that the people cannot affect the state#if you're lucky enough to vote. VOTE.#also i must add. anon says they're also european but i'm assuming the national security is not heavily dependent upon US protection#here in eastern europe where we share borders with russia it is essential that the threat of NATO is real#i cannot believe you have the gall to say you wouldn't have known what to do. there was only one option#and once again this is of course not the optimal state of things but it is the realistic one

Once again thinking about Jedi and Children - I don't think it would be unrealistic for babies being raised by trained force sensitives to cry WAY less than other kids. After all, crying is just asking for help, really. No need if your caretaker can pretty much peer into your mind to see exactly what you need. Unless the thing that's wrong is force bullshit the person can't control, in which case the baby basically has force induced colic, good luck.
For similar reasons, I bet one of the most common 'issues' in children given to the jedi creche early (before toddler age) is delayed speech development. They can communicate with their peers and caretakers just fine using space magic. Why bother with *scoff* words?
#star wars#jedi culture#sw headcanons#jedi#All the babies born after 066 are justified in having Force!colic#things must feel extremely Bad just generally#also the special powers jedi#baby mace with his lvl. 3000 migraine was also bad#The Force makes childcare simultaneously way easier and way harder at the same time

same anon, do not apologize about taking an excuse to rant because it was a very enjoyable read 👍 especially because i share similar frustration regarding the lack of lore on rivain and even less lore on the lords as a faction. My very first rook was a lord and it was honestly kind of a miserable playthrough roleplaying wise 😭 i think i only got like five faction related dialogue options throughout the ENTIRE game!!! That combined with rook acting like they dont know anything about their own factions or even their own nation was absolutely maddening… anyway whoops sorry for my own little rant
RIGHT.... you do not have to apologise either anon i am right there with you. the map surrounding rivain being so nothing is just insult to injury when 1) like you said, almost no dialogue choices, 2) jack all content because i was running around for 70 hours hoping to find decor related to them/finding none because there IS none/absolutely nothing in the lighthouse being customised as a result and 3) they have decided the only thing you get to say about being a lord is repeating their catchphrase like this shit is scooby doo
the art book also has some pages on the lords that gave me mixed feelings lol spread that i scanned under the cut
i really thought that they would lean into the "mix and match" thing especially because even when i was designing my rook pre release, i was trying to incorporate elements of this! i was looking at duncan's armor to try and patch together something that reflected rivain! but when the game comes out it's just. orientalist. and there's a bull on my crotch. even though the art book discusses this idea of the lords having patchwork armor that they've stolen or put together because they're so diverse. there's a few designs in here that i would have loved to see in the game with the more piratey longcoats and hats, and if they were going to draw inspiration i wish they'd looked more at mauritius and south india (kerala, tamil nadu) instead of . i'm not actually sure what the fuck they were doing here. my first thought when i saw the jewelry and design in game had been indigenous south american? but ofc the longer i looked the more i leaned away from that initial judgement and the more i got confused, and what little we know of rivain is obviously inspired by south asia (asha's maiden name being bahadur, bharv, hari, etc. but there's also mateo?) so i think it is the tried and true method white people looove to do where they mishmash cultures into one place and then get defensive when poc say "we aren't interchangable like that"
visually i think veilguard is so so successful in most cases with that consideration of shape language, colors, etc (though sometimes i think it goes too far. let the crows wear black again) but rivain/the lords is one of the weaker ones because i wish there was something specifically rivaini that tied it all together. like if dragons are found here (presumably. taash has a reputation as a dragon hunter. they would need to hunt dragons in rivain) then maybe scale armor as an identifier. or if rivain is known for pearl farming then it features more in their armor. or if the climate is hotter, so the fabric they wear would be linen and would actually cover more of their skin to avoid sunburn! or if they wear lots of blue, is that because they're a producer of that dye? just worldbuilding things like this completely ignored to make their main thing 'lots of gold and it should be revealing' and be weirdly racist/orientalist in the process.
#however i guess they did give me the chance to kill the templars involved in the dairsmund circle#or their. demons?#i think it is also a bit cool that these templars turned ironically into demons#lords of fortune#rivain#and re: mishmash thing. like i do think there's ways to do this#antiva as a concept makes me laugh. sure you can combine the romance languages (uh minus france) into one place i guess#and creating hybrid cultures while worldbuilding is not a new thing at all#but with these things every fucking fantasy writer in the world seems to make it racist on .'accident'#because they are always fucking doing shit with underrepresented AND already misrepresented cultures#and writers reveal their obvious biases. the qun has already been talked about by smarter people than me#and rivain's writing was already a bit like. hmm. and now it is also one of the latest victims. looolll.#not sure if this is vg critical. i am getting bitchy. its something i care about tho i am not brown for nothing#veilguard spoilers#answered#anonymous#ONCE AGAIN ANON. I MUST APOLOGISE FOR HOW THIS REPLY GOT AWAY FROM ME <3#BUT U HAVE OPENED THE PANDORAS BOX I HAVE BEEN TRYING NOT TO THINK ABOUT#BECAUSE I KNOW ANYTHING I MAKE UP ABOUT RIVAIN COULD BE CRUELLY TAKEN AWAY FROM ME!!!

old/unfinished explorations of freya's past through her garb as Leader of the Vanir & Queen of the Aesir.
#I just wanted to think about how she probably had to give up a lot of her Vanir sensibilities in asgard#forced to abandon the green & bronze of the Vanir and wear the blue & gold of the Aesir in change#how stifling it must have been for her to become a wife#i tried to incorporate some things she currently wears in her old Vanir garb#like she tried to reclaim her past and culture even though she was barred from it#i think i originally wanted to add more adornments to her vanir design?#but couldnt figure them out so. whatever#i do really love that picture of her with sparrows bite though shes my wife forever & ever#also peep the brisingr in her aesir design... cus she had baldur <3#god of war#gow#god of war 2018#gow 2018#freya#freya god of war#freya gow#god of war freya#gow freya#gowr#gow ragnarook#god of war ragnarok

post ep 5 - SPOILERS
okay okay okay i think billy yeeted them out of the road. we see jen clawing up from the dirt in trailer footage, i think billy just chucked em back to westview. i don't think he's quite there at murder yet, seeing his last conversation with agatha, which? slay king. as a witch and practicing pagan, love him. "no, not for me" you take that negative energy and turn it right on its fuckin head sweetheart. but also please for the love of the gods don't get carried away, don't commit murder, your father would probably have a stroke even if your mother would sit there yelling you're doing great sweetie!!
also i think the reason why rio wasn't there in the last scene was bc she was collecting alice's body. now i'm imagining her walking out, seeing billy standing there alone with lighting coming from his hands and a scarlet witch crown like
#agatha all along#agatha harkness#rio vidal#billy kaplan#WE GOT IM BOYS#WE GOT BILLY!!!#actually so happy about this#but please my gay son you must resist murder#remember the threefold law#not everyone believes in it#but it might be good to follow for now#witch#witchblr#there have been some things in the show which has made me go eEEHHHHH but overall so far#it doesn't feel like an outright insult#which is nice :)#mainly i wish they'd acknowledge that every witch practices differently#which i get is hard for a rigid story format#but it would still be cool if we could see more of the variety and different interpretations within each witch's craft#oh and it would also be cool if they somehow acknowledged that witchcraft and paganism are still very real cultural practices#anyways i still love this show#even if i burst out laughing when lilia divined the names of the coven because i have seen automatic writing done before and last i checked#nothing exploded#also can we please get kit connor as teddy altman#agatha all along spoilers#ALSO COULD THEY PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WICCA IS A REAL RELIGION AND NOT JUST SOME COOL NAME PLEASE AND THANK YOU LOL#if billy is wiccan#like religiously wiccan#that would be fuckin baller#i would be hella cool with him using that name then

Oh wait is it a toxic family when the father refuses to take accountability and instead blames the kids for his mistakes? And as a result the kids are unwillingly shoehorned into roles where one is the golden perfectionistic never allowed to criticise the family child, and the other is the black sheep difficult selfish disobedient child?
And the golden child is about to explode because he’s never allowed to have his own opinions and so when he feels real frustration at his father, he can’t land the blame there and so he’s conditioned to blame his sibling instead?
And the black sheep child just takes the criticism and the blame and learns to become overly defensive, because he’s learned no one will watch his back but himself, not even his sibling?
Oh wait it’s not a toxic family.
It’s Scuderia Ferrari
#take all the misplaced anger between Charlos and direct it at Fred Vasseur#may Charles and Carlos both realise this#look this post is parasocial and I take that#but it’s literally a toxic family dynamic#it’s a situation where each party becomes more and more entrenched because those patterns are the only way they can defend themselves#Charles is in a pattern where he thinks if you just respect what the team says it will all be okay#because it must be okay? right? right?#Carlos is in a pattern where he has lost all trust in the pit wall and needs to start strategising for himself#and almost seems to accept that Charles will come out of the car angry#and it’s all rooted in Fred Vasseur and the team’s absolute lack of accountability#how hard is it to say to your drivers ‘we messed up your strategy’#‘Carlos should not have been parallel to you on pit exit’#‘we should have pitted Carlos earlier’#but no. Ferrari won’t. and I know they haven’t because there’s not been a lick of accountability publicly#here’s the thing. I have my own opinions about whether Carlos or Charles’s reactions to media after the race were appropriate or not#but what I am convinced of is that those reactions of frustration and defensiveness come from this exact team culture#and the pattern reinforces itself again and again#charles leclerc#f1#carlos sainz#las vegas gp 2024

i've said this before and i'll say it again, the left fucked themselves over when they started using sociological frameworks and theory but not IRL discoursing (literal use of the word) with other folks about how to APPLY those frameworks. discussion is so central to the understand of sociology and how to apply larger concepts on the real world. it ALSO teaches folks the vital skill of being able to discourse in a way that doesn't like... focus on the individual and instead is ABOUT the discussion and the topics itself.
#i mean this so seriously you need to talk to people#it is insane how anti-sex the left has become while decrying the right like#babe you are wearing the same stripes#the kneejerk societally imposed response of 'sex impure' doesn't Go Away because you read a twitter thread you know#it jsut gets worded a different way#to create a moral high ground against a perceived enemy#and for the left that's so often the right and those entrenched in the conservatism which is actively and rn destroying the country#AND it is so often those perceived as different or deviant#deviant being the most reductive term#baby honey we're in a purity culture none of us are immune to propaganda#anyway i'm freak4freak but i still gotta check myself too#anyways#sorry#the state of things is deeply despairing but we must be together with folks and never stop giving a shit!#delete later
