[A package arrives]

[The attached note reads]

"Hello there, it is quite irritating that this is all I can do for now, however, enclosed in this box is

My dear Lady Rosceline's favourite coffee blend

Lady Ren's favourite tea blend

Their mother's favourite tea set (she is going to be livid)

I wish you freedom and good fortune,

There are always outliers,

None are free till all are free,

Marceline [CALLSIGN: FALSEHOOD]

P.S. Turns out, you can strip most of a GMS Chomolungma down to something that'll weld pretty easy to a hardsuit

P.P.S. I can provide a personalised "stats sheet" for such a creation, should you wish

P.P.P.S. The sheet will involve multiple NHPs, we aren't necessary to the "build", but, as I said, personalised

I have struggled with how to answer this.

I have never been given a gift like this before, did you know that? This set seems handmade, the coffee and tea fresh and rich smelling. It speaks to me of great luxury, unlike what we find here on Sanjak.

It makes me wonder your motivations in sending such a gift, though I don't know you. Are you seeking to endear me to your employers? To get such a package past the blockade is difficult, and a thing that is done with great expense.

If that is the case then I'd have to refuse, of course, and send it back. My issue with them is not personal, my support cannot be bought. It is rather ideological, an issue I have with the fact of their status, and the violence that must be done to maintain it. With what I have heard of the state of the house you serve, this violence is a thing you must be aware of keenly. You'd understand, then, that my problem is the hierarchy, and the clinging to a status that necessitates the superiority of some over others: one that always carries the potential for abuse, and has few outlets for rectifying that abuse.

(You've said to me before that you do enjoy serving, which I understand: but there is a difference between the choice to serve and the compulsion. Between a compact between lovers and a legal distinction that binds regardless of actual consent.)

I'd reiterate, in that instance, that kindness doesn't matter beside the fact of status, and if this is an offering as one would give to the Passions for forgiveness of a transgression I can only refuse, for I have no capacity to forgive such a thing and, even if I did, I feel I can only forgive an abuse that isn't still ongoing. (In that way I am quite forgiving indeed: one of my good friends is a former noble that has given up her old titles. Let me know if yours does too and I'll be happy to learn the Crosslandic ruleset for kapkat.)

However, if this is only a kindness you seek to do then I'll accept it in that spirit. I am not wanting for the heirlooms of deposed nobles, and will likely return the set anyway when the opportunity next strikes. I have a sneaking feeling that it might be involved in some petty scheme of nobles primarily invested in annoying one another that I wish to have no involvement with, but you can consider it a possession of yours. Share it with your fellows, I'm certain you deserve it.

As for the frame, I've said before that we lack the need for firepower, and we have limited support capacity for NHPs, but let me know if you wish for me to print you here anyway. You'll find little presence of NHPro here; Union keeps their hands off us for now, and if you would like the safe haven, I am happy to offer it.

This might be a controversial take, but l don't think Eve deserves or should get a redemption arc.

One thing about the "mutuals can ask for pics" type of post is it feels like theres no way to not sound like a dweeb asking, "Erm, is this where the cock pics are", they may not cost money but the real price is finding a normal way to ask that isn't "Re: Your post where you offered mutuals hole pics"

It's weird being simultaneously jewish and non-jewish at the exact same time. Because to non-jews, I am jewish. They see someone like me, and they don't typically care about the intricacies of jewish thought and law - they only see a jew, and they react accordingly. This isn't malicious on their end, I think, it's just a consequence of not being jewish or having people close to you who are. But to jews, they know that I'm not jewish yet, correctly so I may add, and I'm treated as such.

I'm not complaining about being treated as jewish or not being treated as jewish, but I'm saying it's a weird tug-of-war where I simultaneously am and am not. I don't compromise on where I am visibly associated with jews, and as a consequence, I'm treated as a jew for good and bad. I want that, though. Even when I have been terrified of being visibly associated with jews, I wouldn't abandon it.

I like it when the fandom engages with Chuuya drinking problematically or Akutagawa smoking despite his lung disease or Fyodor indulging his gambling addiction.

Asagiri can't explore the same, there's a censorship regime in Japan for manga aimed at certain ages. But even if he doesn't care to, fan works should be transformative and exploratory; and fan works that do so while engaging with the source material and its themes like humanity and contradiction and culpability are even more golden for doing so.

The urge to lacquer fiction in performative didactism and aversion to moral turpitude is self cannibalizing.

i think there is something very nice about ships that are "traumatized guy that hates himself" x "himself but from the not-all-too-distant past who isnt as messed up because of some sort of stressful event"

also this is totally about classicsci because im thinking of them a lot. its self care really. and also literally. its just not-edgy scifell which i like a lot about them. its "oh boy you havent dealt with even half the stress ive gone through. im gonna take this as a chance to make sure you dont go through what i did cause i now have a second chance to prevent bad things (ie gaster falling into the core) from happening that all this time ive blamed myself for. and then we kiss about it a lot for comfort idk." ive got ideas about them

theyre kinda like classicgeno (do they even have a ship name) now that i think about it. geno x classic x sci poly when. and theyre also kinda like classicdust too. i think i might have issues regarding my love for the trope of "guy loving a less messed up version of himself in the way he was not able to be loved and in the process working through his own issues and healing from his trauma". i may have a lot of issues actually
