"Marcille hates all of Laios' freak traits but loves them in Falin" is honestly a really good joke but... you guys do know it's a joke right?
It's such a funny one I honestly find it impossible to get mad at even when people mistake it for an actual truth about the characters but JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR
THIS is how marcille reacts when Falin is predictably just as enthusiastic about eating monsters as her brother was.
That is not the face of a woman who thinks this trait is lovely and endearing as long as it's exhibited by the girl she loves. That is the face of a woman who is taking 7d8 psychic damage and yet knows deep in her heart she won't like Falin any less for it.
The way young Marcille reacts to Falin eating berries Marcille can't recognize but Falin knows are safe is pretty similar to how she reacts to eating monsters years later, albeit with more fear than disgust. The difference in her relationships with Laios and Falin isn't just that she's attracted to Falin, it's because the Touden siblings, while similar, are in fact different people. Not just genderswaps of each other.
Also, I think you all already know this, but just to say it: she doesn't actually hate Laios for any of his freak tendencies either. He's one of her best friends. She's just a lot quicker to be outwardly exasperated with him while she's quieter about it with Falin.

Before she was Prime Minister, Sanna Marin (SDP) criticised a PM for promoting a business his family was linked to. But now she plans to speak at a start-up conference alongside a head of her husband's company.
Helsingin Sanomat (siirryt toiseen palveluun) reports that Prime Minister Sanna Marin (SDP) will speak at the annual start-up conference Slush in Helsinki with a representative from her husband's private equity firm.
Marin is set to discuss the role of governments in creating an environment for innovation at the November event. The premier will be interviewed by Christian Miele, a general partner at Headline—the firm at which Marin's husband Markus Räikkönen is currently employed.
In an email, the PM told news agency STT that she intends to focus on European strategic autonomy from a technological perspective in her speech.
"I haven't considered it problematic to participate in the discussion, because the themes in it are general and the same ones that I have talked about on numerous other occasions. We are still evaluating participation from a conflict of interest point of view and will discuss the matter with the Chancellor of Justice," Marin wrote in her email.
The PM did not answer how she wound up participating in the event or whether she sees a conflict of interest in offering visibility to her spouse's workplace. Marin said that she discussed participation with her husband and that she has previously met Miele.
In January 2017, many media outlets reported that the state had promoted the Oulu-based Chempolis biotech firm, through investment by majority state-owned energy company Fortum. At the time, then-Prime Minister Juha Sipilä's (Centre) children owned shares in the company.
Marin, still an MP at the time, took to Twitter to react to the situation.
"Every day it seems more and more that Sipilä is not in politics to promote the interests of our country, but those of his inner circle," Marin tweeted in 2017.
Threat maker "harmless"
In an update on Thursday's violent threat made against the Eastern Uusimaa District Court, Iltalehti (siirryt toiseen palveluun) reported that police detained the individual behind the threat.
"The person has been spoken to and found to be harmless. The individual that made the threat has no connections to gang activity," the Eastern Uusimaa police confirmed in a tweet.
According to police, the threat was received by the court in an email on Wednesday night, and concerned the trial of rapper Milan Jaff, who was sentenced in the spring to 10 years in prison for several violent crimes and now faces further charges.
The proceedings of the criminal case will continue in court on Friday and next week.
Police have made a threat assessment related to the proceedings and special security arrangements will continue in place.
According to Timo Heikkinen from the district court's office, threats to the court are exceptional, though there was such an incident in December of 2021.
"These don't happen every year," Heikkinen confirmed.
Dip in demand
Oulu-based media outlet Kaleva (siirryt toiseen palveluun)reported that consumers are using far less electricity compared to a year ago.
In August, the availability of gas in Europe weakened significantly due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, forcing the price of electricity to skyrocket.
Now, electricity use has decreased by almost 14 percent since last year.
"The decrease is so large that it cannot be explained simply by temperatures or economic cycles," Finnish Energy (ET) CEO Jukka Leskelä told Kaleva.
In September, electricity consumption in Finland was the same as it was in June, when electricity consumption typically drops as it is bright and warm.
"Electricity users have done a lot to reduce electricity use and ease the increase in their electricity bills," Leskelä added.
In addition, the net import of electricity fell by 70 percent since last September.
The drop in imported electricity has been possible because domestic demand has decreased, while at the same time there is more domestic production. More wind power is constantly being produced and the nuclear reactor Olkiluoto 3 is set to start regular electricity production in December.

In order to turn a very embarrassing moment of my life into something funny have this stupid Timbern au:
The Drakes are alive so Tim is still on track for being the heir of D.I. but is interning at W.E. for the summer because Bruce offered a position
Bernard has been interning at W.E. as well, for volunteering hours
The both work in a small, newer branch of W.E. that focuses on cultivating more information about Gotham’s history
Bernard’s there because it's the most teen focused thing and Tim’s there because he wants to figure where exactly the Lazarus pit is under Gotham so he can mess with Ra’s
They are currently stationed at an old house that was made into a museum which is managed by Wayne Enterprises, but since most of it is a museum there are only a few rooms to actually work, however it being a teen thing it’s very much choose your own hours so that prevents too many people from being there at once
Tim, who doesn’t want someone to come in a see the fact that he’s already finished cataloging all of the 2023 Donations to the museum and is instead using the time to further research the numerous curses in Gotham and/or watch Demon Slayer, is very happy about this fact and only comes at either the earliest or latest times so he gets a room to himself and only has to pretend to be going through boxes when someone checks on him
Bernard immediately messes up Tim’s plan
He’s always there- morning, night, even when Tim changes up his schedule
And no matter how many how many empty rooms there might be he always finds Tim and sits with him, even the time Tim tried to hide in the attic under the guise of organizing a couple boxes up there
Being the paranoid idiot that he is Tim assume that Bernard is a from the League of Assassins and enacts a 46-step plan to figure out what he’s planning (read: stalks him) and in the course of it ends up falling in love
Meanwhile on Bernard’s side, the first week of the internship he walked into the room Tim was in and wanted to be friends with the cute boy
The reason that he kept finding Tim was that he was talking to Dick Grayson, his gymnastics instructor, and Dick had realized that the boy in question was his honorary little brother and told Bernard that “Timmy’s shy, you just have to break down his walls to get to know him” and tells him when Tim’s going to the museum
Dick is well aware of what Tim thinks the situation is because he’s the one Tim rants to, but he thinks it’s funny and will make for a great story to tell at their wedding
