#like bruh how can they enforce this

[comas-are-for-sleeping]

anti-boycotting laws?? girl read a history book im begging

[jadedwoman]

I hate when I try and look for tutorials on how to draw and it just so heavily devolves into stereotypes. Like bruh, no, women do not 'naturally arch their back" like that, that's literally just a hyper sexualized pose used by past artists to sexualize women. It just irritates me to hell and back to the point I'm genuinely considering never utilizing a guide that argues men and women will be fundamentally, not just cuz fuck that I'll make all my character GNC if I choose to, but also because it's often so stereotypical that even anatomically it makes no sense. It just always irritates me when people are like "sometimes you have to include those aspects so people get what a character is even if those are stereotypes" and I think it's bullshit because thats exactly how you propagate stereotypes further. If people interpret more pointy noses as more villainous (often due to old antisemitic depictions that made the association) that does not mean you should make all your villains have that. You can recognize stereotypes that people use a lot and decide to just, not fucking use them, instead of justifying it as fine to enforce stereotypes because "you gotta exaggerate" EXAGGERATE SOME OTHER PART, you're not limited to only exaggerating the parts with heavy histories of prejudice.

I want to write an LB6 Oberon x Gudako x PHH Vortigern story.

The other day, I told @erimies that I wanted to try my hand at writing a dark romance story.

I don't often write romance, and even when I do, I view it less as shipping and romance and more as the continuation of characterization. So, if I feel this is how this character would behave or potentially change in a certain direction, I would follow that logic to its conclusion no matter how I personally feel about it.

But the thing is... despite how Oberon Vortigern would like to portray himself, I don't personally think of him as a truly evil kind of character. You see it in the way he conducts himself in canon LB6. There was a lot of things he didn't have to do, but he did (like teaching young Castoria and giving her a short time of respite from her loneliness and ostracization).

There were also a lot of things he could have done were he truly evil, but he never did. I'm talking about his relationship with Riri during the early part of the Lostbelt. Almost every night in the early part of the story, they were alone with each other. Almost every night. Whether it was him climbing in through the window of her room in Mike's tavern, or when he sent Castoria away to gather woods or create a bounded field, leaving him to sit alone with Riri by the fireside. They didn't do anything. They just talked.

I don't think it's possible to overstate how emotionally vulnerable Riri was at that time before she met Mash again in Norwich. Someone as smart and socially savvy as Oberon should have been able to twist Riri's heart and mind like a pretzel in that situation. He might not have been able to pull the wools over her eyes for long, but he absolutely could have done devastating damage or primed her in a way that would benefit him more. I'm fairly sure there are some kinky hentai doujins out there that explored this very scenario. But the fact that Oberon never even tried spoke volume.

Then there's his wet sock of a fight at the end of LB6. Like, sir, can you be more half-assed in your big villain speech and fight?

Summer 2023 on JP server more or less cinched the deal. Oberon is just... a wet cat... and really really really (embarrassingly) down bad for Riri.

Hah!

My point is, I don't think regular Oberon cuts it for a truly dark romance kind of story. Not against someone whose heart is so resilient like Riri. So I thought of exploring the Vortigern side.

As it so happened, I acquired the novella Garden of Avalon, in which PHH Vortigern is featured as the villain.

Having read it, I... have thoughts. PHH Vortigern seems to exhibit the same kind of put-upon, enforced evil as LB Oberon. Again, his actions gave him away. He usurped his brother Uther's throne via violence... and yet let Uther go with his life and limbs fully in tact. And that's how we arrived at the canon Artoria, who is a dragon in human form... because Uther took one look at Vortigern's dragon aspect and thought. I would like me a big freakin gun just like that and he went on to do really skeevy-sounding human experimentation (via way of Merlin), resulting in Arotia....

...Bruh...

And people wonder why Artoria felt so inhuman as king... Well, if her purpose of existence was only to defeat Vortigern and never to succeed Uther as King, then it kinda makes sense, doesn't it?

Even when he was defeated, Vortigern still worried about the fate of the world and his own niece (in the usual tsundere snarky way).

Well, I guess Oberon really is an alternate version of PHH Vortigern. There's a good bit of similarities between them. Implied and not. In any case, that's where the PHH Vortigern x Riri comes in. Because I thought, there are things worth exploring here.

....

Nineveh 2461

... is the name I gave this story idea.

...

On the eve when the two brothers, splintered now in blood and heart, part from one another, the aggrieved people of Albion proclaim. 

We do not want to be fought over by either dragons or wyrms, for whichever one prevails, the little men will lose regardless. 

And so a plan is hatched alongside Uther’s dream to birth a dragon in human form. Is it not customary to proffer a greedy dragon with a virgin? A tribute shall be gifted to Vile King Vortigern, so that he would be sufficiently distracted and thus turn the worst of his evils from them. This shall be no ordinary virgin. Nothing that the Vile King himself could clutch from the populace. 

No. 

This one shall be crafted to specifications. A vessel shall be made. A ritual shall be enacted to call forth that which he desires but may not touch. 

One who can withstand his savagery. One whose burning hurt will endure even the Vile King’s frozen embrace. 

...

Ritsuka is summoned into a ‘vessel’ during the Arthurian cycle in PHH, singularity style!

Core story is a flip on the classical wicked dragon and imprisoned princess tale. 

An exploration of what book Vortigern means by a ‘dark paradise where humans cannot step foot on.’

It’s less that Ritsuka is imprisoned and more that she’s enjoying domestic life, taking care of cantankerous dragon man Vortigern.

This tragic, weirdly domestic romance is doomed because, regardless of how she feels, she has to resolve this singularity and return to Chaldea.

The climax is Ritsuka’s servants aiding the local Artoria and coming to her rescue. 

Oberon Vortigern is among the rescue team, spearheading it. 

Final battle involves Oberon Vortigern against himself. PHH Vortigern against a version of himself.

Yeah where the scenes where Navier just call Sovieshu as bullshit???

Like it's a huge lack that Navier didn't get scenes where she just boldly called her husband a whore or called him out on all of his bullshit cuz he did all of that with Rashta, I think that at least Navier should get a scene where it's "Are you sure you aren't just using this girl like a tool?" to Sovieshu about Rashta cuz it's pretty clear Sovieshu definitely has no good intentions with Rashta and Navier as a woman would realize that, it doesn't make her any less good if she's talking seriously about a random girl her husband brought home and definitely not at all about how this girl is just a mistress who stole her husband and who he cheated on her with, that's where I think can show us the mature part, the entire story, Navier never cares about Rashta cuz no matter what happens, Navier will always be the high blood gold spoon noble lady who always will be the Empress no matter which Empire she's in, this in hindsight may seem cool cuz she knows who she is but she's also ignoring how her husband was being a toxic abuser (Just because he didn't lay a hand on her doesn't mean what he did to her wasn't abuse) to Rashta and her attitude since the beginning just enforced that since a reason Rashta was brought in was so Sovieshu can make Navier jealous and fight for his love, which ofc feeds into his ego, while Navier didn't do this, it doesn make her a perfect innocent victim at all

A lot seem to think Navier's cold attitude towards the whole cheating thing is considered mature, but it's not much mature when she's basically ignoring everything Sovieshu did without saying anything considering how they're supposedly equals, idc if she says anything, Sovieshu would make her into the wrong and tryna act as though she's just being mean to Rashta, it would a completely different context if she says it out loud and straight: "It's not about Rashta, never about Rashta, your Majesty, I'm talking about you, Sovieshu, stop trying to make her your scapegoat, it is not her I'm angry at, you're not of no fault in this"

Like that would send a strong message, just because it's the man's fault doesn't mean 2 women have to fight or suffer for it, my memories on the manhwha is woozy, but I don't recollect much where Navier actually makes anything straight to Sovieshu about the glaring issue of their relationship: THEM, Rashta shouldn't be blamed at all for this couple's marital feud and they were married for about a decade too, why is Rashta the issue of their marriage even? Bruh Rashta basically tried to survive and it was Sovieshu's fault, he brought her in and somehow she's the one to blame cuz Sovieshu had issues with Navier? That bitch would have issues with her even if Rashta didn't fucking exist and any other poor girl would be the target for that, another Rashta even if Rashta doesn't exist

Both Sovieshu and Navier have their own faults in the miscommunication of their relationship that doomed it, blaming Rashta doesn't change it, this is why I hate the misunderstanding and miscommunication tropes in Fiction, they're done so poorly

If only 😔

They try to present Navier ignoring her husband's efforts to make her jealous as mature which isn't entirely a bad idea, don't just fall for his bullshit and all that but she ignores Sovieshu to the point of letting other people suffer for her husband's behavior.

[butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway]

Oh shit really?????

Ah, yeah, that sounds more like it.

Hang on tho, these are actually specific and measurable targets for fucking once! These are by no means an acceptable stopping point but they actually do make for a reasonable floor! I think 30 days is way too long at this point in the genocide, and this feels like the most generous possible opportunity to a nation that has actively spat in the face of the international courts for a year! But it's still a demonstrable and specific policy framework I can get behind.

Bruh in what goddamn world is 30 trucks anywhere near the 350 MINIMUM those stipulations demanded?

See, this keeps happening where because everyone is insisting on handling Israel's genocidal program with kid gloves and giving it all the benefit of the doubt possible, no one is actually holding them to account when they VISIBLY bulldoze past every red line set for them. I desperately need people to understand that even this is nothing, worse than nothing even, unless we actually hold our governments to their word on this. And the fucking PROBLEM is that they EXPLICITLY made this an unproveable and unenforceable thing. Because once elected, the next president be it Trump or Harris, is under no obligation to actually enforce this policy, and given how all previous "red line" boundaries have been handled we have no reason to trust their word. Which means it's up to us to make DAMN fucking sure that whoever sits in that office come Nov 5th knows nothing but the wrath of the masses, gets no rest and no peace and no fucking mercy, until the terms of this policy are enforced.

As always, I Do Not Care how you choose to put your conscience on paper in the ballot box come Nov, as long as you show up to the long term work after you've done it. Decide NOW how you will hold your next President to account for the genocide they are facilitating and participating in. Because they're ALL betting on you being too busy (mourning or celebrating) to remember that Biden made this promise.

[greenandhazy]

I keep getting recommended tweets about this webseries that the creator has decided to stop working on, in large part because fans are continuously commenting on/sending them questions about/sending them work for a non-canon ship (I think it’s the main character/villain?) that they seriously dislike. And from my read of their thread, they understand why people expect romance from the work but just cannot stand the idea and feel harassed by fans constantly bringing the ship to their attention…

…but the tweets that keep getting recommended to me are “you shouldn’t be shaming people, let them ship what they want to ship!”

Bruh. I get mildly annoyed enough when I see my NOTPs on my dash/twitter feed, but at least I can ignore it, mute it, and move on. If people were REGULARLY BRINGING THAT SHIT TO MY INBOX, I would rage-quit so fast, and that’s for fandom, let alone for my own work. I’m seeing soooo many tweets from people going “well how are they supposed to know you don’t like it when they share unsolicited headcanons in your DMs?”

Don’t contact creators about shipping if you don’t KNOW, for sure, proactively, that they want that! Learn some goddamn boundaries! “I can’t deal with fan behavior so I am exiting this space” is not someone policing your headcanons, it’s someone setting and enforcing their own boundaries!!

Conferences

Happy Birthdayyyy to meeeeee, so im making a weird story.

@nayafenix15

~~

Bridges was at a conference at the Vegas hotel, turns out he made friends with a guy who was also a higher rank with him and apparently he knew Bridges, and so they hit it off together.

Bridges lean into one of the windows and then jump a little when he felt something hit the windows.

“Pero la semilla” He said turning around and sees Billy.

Bridges opens the windows and Billy gets inside.

“Bruh, we been looking for you” Billy said getting inside the window.

“Billy.. this is a 7th floor, how are you here?” Bridges said.

“It was by accident but that doesn’t matter”

“It matters, you are on a conference and the weirdest thing no one has notice you came through to the window, you can’t be here. Let me take you out of here” Bridges said touching his shoulder.

Billy didn’t say anything, just follow Bridges lead as they both head to the door. A man from afar sees them and chases after then, he grabs Bridges arm and stops him from leaving.

“You leaving so soon, friend?” He grabs Bridges arm to which scares him and flinches it away, hiding it, the man still notice but rather not bring it up.

“Ah, sorry, but i had to take this one back, not sure how he got in, this is my Nephew” Bridges lies and the man smiles.

“Why are you-“ Billy gets hit by Bridges and stays quiet.

“Ah, what a lovely young man, he probably is going to grow up and be a fighter just like you”

“Oh no, he already is, he has been in combat before” Bridges said, Billy just watched the man, feeling a weird vibe from him.

“That’s very nice, [Redacted] can i have your number? You and your work experience can help us for our next meeting. You could teach more young kids about law enforcement, what do you say?” The man said, he smile unlike Bridges, he wasn’t happy.

“I’ll give it to you in a sec, I’ll be right back” Bridges said hurrying with Billy. Billy notice his grip has tightened on his shoulder

“What’s the matter? Why did you lie? Your hands” Billy asked him and pointed the hand.

“That guy, he said my name. I never told me him my name, we have to get out” Bridges said in a low tone, taking him to a table, where there was a towel, a bag that was open. Bridges went through his stuff.

“What” Billy said shocked.

“Billy, we need to leave. I brought my phone.. i cant find it” Bridges said taking out a phone.

“You have it, isn’t that the one?” Billy pointed out.

“No, i brought another one. Y’know how people have two phones one personal and another for business, i cant find the business one” Bridges said looking around for it.

“Did you go anywhere else? Before we met?” Billy asked Bridges, giving an ideas of where it could be.

“Bathroom, let’s go” Bridges said grabbing his bag and once again taking Billy with him with the same grip on his shoulder.

As they went to the bathroom, someone else follow them withou tthem notcing them.

“I was in here before you got inside of the window…” He said getting inside of a bathroom stall.

“Bridges!” Someone called, it was a woman, catching Bridges attention for the familiar voice.

“Hello?” Bridges said confuse.

“Bridges what the fuck” The woman said approaching him with mixed feelings. “Why did you came back!?”

“Sammy, how are you?”

“Bridges there no time for hellos you are wanted by 7 states, and 3 military branches” She said making Bridges face go pale

“Holy shit, what the fuck has happen”

“You seriously asking me? They are saying that you were involve on a riot that you cause, infiltration, a attacking and giving confidential information, these men are here cuz they were planning into hunting you”

“Im accuse of what!? You know im innocent right?” Bridges said shocked.

“Of course i do, i got your phone, but you have to get out” Sammy said showing him his phone, she threw it for him to catch it.

Bridges catches his phone, they al start talking on how to get out of this whole mess.

~~

“That should keep them occupied” 999 said, as the others kept themselves busy.

4840, 076, 2396, Allison, Naya, Ivan, and everyone else where trying to find Bridges, one is to keep him away for a surprise and two is to know where he was, he went missing for 5 hours.

“Now, we can plan a small surprise for him” 076 said.

“How do you remember it was his birthday?” 2396 asked 076.

“Before i killed all the agents of omega we had a birthday party for him, that same day the birthday boy was covered in cake and blood” 076 said.

“That’s a bit dark” Ivan said throwing his cigarettes on the floor.

“Yeah, not my proudest moment” 076 said.

“Well, no sad moments, if we tried making a birthday party there shouldn’t be sad moments” 2396 said.

“Yeah, so lets get to work” Naya said.

Everyone started to plan around, buying a small cake, some small gifts, and booking reservations to get for the small gathering. At 5pm, half of the things were done.

“We are all done” Allison said.

“I guess we can tell Billy or Bridges to come by now” 2396 said.

4840 used his phone to call them

“They are not picking up” Seth said.

“What do you mean they are not answering the phone” 076 said.

~~~

Bridges jumps out of a window with Billy who was clinging onto his arm now mutated arm and side, to protect himself from getting harm. They get in the rough ground, mostly Bridges hitting the ground, and preventing Billy to get hit. A few seconds pass, Bridges looked.

“Billy! Are you okey?” Bridges asked him, touching and moving him with his other hand.

“Yeah, im okey, but…” Billy pause to look at Bridges, covered in blood, glass, and looked at his mutated arm.

“Yeah.. don’t tell anyone” Bridges said in pain, noticing Billy looking at his arm, letting Billy go with his mutated hand and transform his arm into his old purple looking arm and hid it.

“Those that hurt you?” Billy asked him.

“Yeah, i barely tried to control it, i use painkillers, most of the time they work, but not all of the time.” Bridges said.

Billy only looked at the arm and Bridges looked away visible uncomfortable, hiding his arm from him.

“We should head back to the others and.. don’t tell anyone..” Bridges said and Billy just noddedz

Billy and Bridges came back, still holding his grip onto him, they were covered in blood although unbothered by it.

Billy guides Bridges to where the rest of the other were at, instead of taking a long way and hoping Bridges doesn’t notice it.

“Happy Birthday Bridges!” Everyone yelled, Bridges closed his ears from the noise.

“Wow, Billy i didn’t know it was your birthday” Bridges said.

“Are you deaf? We said Bridges no Billy” 4840 said.

“Oh my bad” Bridges said.

“But its not my birthday”

“Its October 14, you a Juggalo, don’t you remember you share birthday with Shaggy and the 076 incident was also on your birthday”

Bridges started thinking, his head was on the air.

Bridges and Billy looked at each other.

“Sooo…. Question. Where those agents trying to kill me stage or should we worry?”

“Agents?!” Allison yelled eyes wide open.

Then an explosion happen.

~~~

“Grandpa… what are you doing?” Asked Billy, slowly waking up and coughing up as he saw Bridges smoking.

“Protecting you, Silly” He responded with the Cigarette on his mouth.

“What” Billy said and he felt the heat of the fire behind him. He turns to see it, there were multiple people on the ground and a strange man in a suit, he was the source of the heat, this guy was floating, twisting his head.

“Bridges what’s going on?” Billy said looking back at Bridges he looked strange, he was glowing, but also visibly blurry, that’s the last thing he saw before passing out.

____

The end.

I might continue this or nah, this isn’t much canon, but oh well XD.

Happy birthday to me.

Season 2 and 3: The Winchester's and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Demon Deals

Season 2 rating: 9/10

Best episodes from S2: Simon Said, RoadKill, and AHBL I & II

Worst episode: Hollywood Babylon (Just boring)

Season 3 rating 6/10

Best Episodes from S3: No Rest for the Wicked and The Kids Are Alright

Worst episode: Red Sky at Morning (just boring)

Sterling K. Brown is amazing his role as Gordon Walker is great.

I wish the special children plot line lasted longer. I believe so much more could have been done with them.

Ellen and Jo are not the best written characters on a re-watch. I liked them first time but not anymore.

Love episodes with 'human' monsters

Law enforcement episodes are some of my favorites

Dean doesn't have the best mental health in season 1 but in season 2 and 3 he has really started to derail. Couldn't keep his father save and he might lose his brother to an undetermined future.

Sam does stupid shit when he is emotional especially when Dean is involved.

Bella Talbot is a Boss Bitch. I like her more this time around.

Ava is adorable even if she turns into a little serial killer. "I just helped steal some dead guy's confidential files! I'm awesome"

I want to know the story behind 'funky town' Did happen before Sam went to Stanford or when he started hunting with Dean again?

Honestly, Gordon acting like Dean wasn't gonna hunt his ass down for murdering Sam is hilarious

Sam always blames himself for situations out of his control. Makes me sad.

I'm pretty sure that the hotel in Playthings is an Antebellum home.

2.12 Everytime I watch Nightshifter, I can only think of this:

2.12 Dean is such a simple man :" I like him. He says okey-dokey." What a fuckin dork. I love him.

2.12 Sam is so exasperated and bitchy this episode

2.12 Victor Henriksen was short-lived. Would've have been nice for the boys to have an ally in the feds.

2.12 The ending is amazing

Sam continues to believed that he can't be saved

Jared Padalecki is amazing and terrifying in 2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign

2.14 Demons really be trying to make the boys divorce

2.14 The Jo scene is so uncomfortable and the actors did amazing job of portraying it

2.14 I literally read a fanfic where Dean was in the place of Jo. It was some good shit not gonna lie

2.14 I'm pretty sure Meg was shocked that Dean would literally help his brother get away with murder. What's one more crime?

2.14 I have to give it to Meg. She was really trying to get Dean to turn against Sam and kill him. Hell, if she stopped possessing Sam after using his body to kill Dean, Sam would have embraced his dark destiny

Poor Sam. Dean knows what Madison meant to him in more ways than one

Wish we saw more of the lawyer and Deacon from 2.19 Folsom Prison Blues

2.19 Dean having fun in prison and fitting is so well is such a vibe. Sam's being disturbed by it was amusing.

2.20 Even in a world where they were never hunters, Dean still becomes an alcoholic

2.20 Wincest fics having DJINN are my favorite. Good shit right there

2.20 Dean wants Sam to be happy but not at the expense of losing their relationship with one another. Bruh, that shit is depressing.

Aww! Sam is Azazel's favorite

Andy is me in AHBL

Sam flexing his leadership skills in cold oak. Feel like a proud momma

Sam's first death hits hard. The relief on his face when he sees Dean coming for him. The last thing before death he sees is Dean allowing him to let go safely. And Dean just holding onto his world with desperation as his soul dies along with Sam.

Sam finding out about Dean's deal is heartbreaking. He was taken from his brother by a demon, finds out about his demon, he was killed violently, and then he is resurrected only to find out his brother sold his soul. Poor Sammy.

I forgot how shocking Sam's descent into savagery is. Blood thirsty little giant. Don't blame him though. I would be pissed off to if I was stabbed in the back literally and metaphorically

John really climbed out of the bowels of hell, saved his boys, and yeeted to Heaven

Dean becoming catatonic after Sam's death is so sad; his entire world just ended. Family may not end in blood but he is sole survivor of his own blood

Jensen Ackles flexing his acting chops with his emotional scenes begging for his brother to be okay and then having a monologue over his corpse is so fuckin good. Makes me cry everytime.

Demons calling Sam the Boy King or any alternative will never not be cool but it will continue to be funny

I like episodes involving their childhood and baby Dean tried so hard for Sammy

I actually didn't care for blond Ruby the first time I watch the series but I like her more during the re-watch. She is awesome and snarky

As much as I like Bella, she is fuckin dumb for stealing the colt like what the hell man. She reaped what she sowed right there

I used to find mystery spot funny but is more depressing than anything. Sam was barely holding on to his sanity and his moral compass was derailing fast

The way Dean begins to become more unhinged as his deal grows closer made my heart hurt

Lilith poked a goddam bear torturing and killing Dean in front of Sam's face. Gotta give her props; she had fuckin balls considering Sam's future. Guess Lucy didn't give her the memo or just didn't care since he was stuck in the cage. Having Sam Winchester on your ass is probably worse than facing Dean. Unhinged Sammy is somethin else

[storiesofsvu]

Alright… season finale night! I am sat with my dinner and ready to GO!

I remember the promo for OG looking pretty good, so here’s hoping that sets the scene for tonight!

Okay, this starlet couple is giving taylor vibes… plus she says her fans can get a bit crazy and she’s had a stalker for years? Yeah… the writers are pulling from that here.. esp cause we already know the shooter was going for the DA so it's not like they're pulling from an actual case of the sports guy getting shot... lol

UGH I just remembered this is Kate’s last ep and now I’m sad (oh god I hope she doesn’t die…)

Man… if I’m ever a suspect I’m totally fucked cause I’m always just “uh.. I was at home… alone.” LOL.

Completely unrelated: I am freezing right now. WHY? It’s summer?! Its so warm outside!

Okay, I thought the find my phone app was only for apple? does android have a similar feature?

HOLY FUCK! SHAW IN THE WHITE TEE WITH THE VEST?! FUCK ME.

PLEASE! HE’S SO FUCKING HOT

“we’ll put eddie on the stand first thing tmr.” Yeah that bitch is gonna be dead.

Yup. Called it.

OHHkay, at least they mentioned a safehouse cause I was wondering why tf he wasn’t under protective custody

Can’t they just charge the guy for the murder of the sports dude and call it a day? Like, he’d go down for that for like what? 25 to life? (like, yeah I *get* *why* they want to prove that he was actually trying to kill the da, but like.. still)

OH MY GOD ESPECIALLY IF THERE’S SOME DEEP DARK SECRET HE HAS!!?? WTF??

Oh hot damn that is some fucking dirty laundry. And let me guess, her dad got the charges talked down….

Okay that wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been

THAT’S THE END OF THE EPISODE?!? DUDE.

Toronto:

Okay, that opening was actually pretty good and nearly hooked me in but I am making friendship bracelets and listening to swift as it plays so im not really paying attention. Lol.

Okay, affair. Sus.

LOL

My dumb ass saw a BTS pic of this opening scene and thought it was from a table read LOL.

“unknown subject” COME ON. You are not criminal minds guys!

K, im loving Velasco and Bruno being paired together, but it is just fueling this thurst…

What kind of person comes home to a dark apartment and doesn’t use their phone flashlight to get around?? Like, candles would not be my first instinct lol

“it’s our unsub” STOP IT! It’s been 25 years and you have always called them “perps” (yes, yes, I know it’s likely a common term among law enforcement –maybe?—but STILL). Like… on cm they have to explain the term to the locals, so this is just a CM fan on the writing team or something and I fucking hate it.

Velasco in yet another sweater that I am definitely stealing.

What happened to Lorraine Baxter? (that was her name, right?) did she step down after her husband died/was linked to a case? Cause I don’t think that was ever brought up but suddenly there’s a new person in her position?? (or was betty buckley just not available for this episode and they went lazy?)

OMG THE INSIDE OF A COURTROOM?? IT’S A MIRACLE.

Phoebe being out of town? Fin denied a beer from Velasco so he can go home and play video games all night.

Jfc. It’s been like 20 years since fin’s been shot. Ice out here earning his cheque this week.

KETO. LOL.

Bruh, olivia’s not gonna buy you fake ass story lol.

“if I say yes can I change the subject?” LOL.

Saw this in the promo and still fucking forgot it was going to happen.

WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY are we still back with Maddy?!?

All the fans want is some actual family/found family shit WITH THE SQUAD. I don’t know a SINGLE person who has been happy to see any of the times maddy’s come back?

OHHHHHH IM DYING

BENSLERS???!! HOW ARE Y’ALL FEELING ABOUT OLIVIA GIVING AWAY THE FUCKING COMPASS??!! LOOOOOLLLLL

Like, I’m not the person for that ship, but they really have just been bating y’all all fucking season and FOR THAT?!

Oh HOLY SHIT we were actually given a phone call?! Now THAT was unexpected. Like, I GET it, having M or Chris guest starring on the other show would be such a fucking hassle when they have their own shows to run but like, just a hint of them trying to at least repair their friendship now that he’s been back in nyc for what? Like 3?4? years now? And there’s been nothing?? (im likely leaning more into this and being frustrated about it because ive been watching 1.0 again and seeing their dynamic and just how close and in sync they were all the time, like, even 10 years of radio silence there’s gotta be something there. I do get that if one or both had romantic feelings that it would feel like a bigger betrayal that would complicate upon reunion, but like, at the very least have them be besties working diff units please?)

Okay, that episode wasn’t great. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. Definitely didn’t feel like a season finale…

OC time…

Eli’s gf has to be pregnant, there’s no other explanation imo

Okay now THIS feels like the start to a season finale!

I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!! I KNEW IT! LOOOL to Bernie just instantly knowing.

Family dinner sounds like a fantastic idea now that eli’s gf is knocked up and Elliot doesn’t know and joe’s running around being a literal criminal. I cannot wait to see this Bernie. (there’s no sarcasm there. I really hope it happens)

Does joe know/realize that elliot’s currently working this case? Like, that both of them could get killed when the fact that they’re brothers gets out? (okay we got through the commercial break, I forgot joe was all “I can be your informant” last ep! Goldfish brain!)

God I love Ayanna so much

Where are the rest of the stabler kids? Lol.

Eli out here seriously 100% following in elliots footsteps. Jeeze lol “family tradition” LOL yeah, having a kid right out of high school lololol

LOOOLL to jet starting to explain what a dm is to stabler lol

 Im pretty sure they’ve got vests on under their coats but I cant actually *see* any of them and that irks me and makes me nervous.

How is there only 5 minutes of this show left?! How are they ENDING a season like this?! Like this is an ongoing story, the main perp is still out there, on his way to CUBA and Joe is ON the plane with them…

Okay, OC was good, it felt like a season finale minus the Joe arc, I liked the summary of Elliot’s journey and how he’s been feeling and him visiting kathy’s grave at the end too to tell her about eli. Also love that he figured it out on his own that she was pregnant cause like.. dude had five kids, he’s bound to know pregnancy symptoms lol.

Honestly.. I think mothership was the best of the night!

Now we go back to season 3 and continue our rewatch over summer hiatus and pray to the gods that svu next season is better than the crap they’ve been feeding us.

Season 26 Wants:

-Curry & Sykes gone. (it doesn’t make sense for the politics/plot).

-Bruno to be upgraded to main cast

-A new female DETECTIVE who they’ll actually keep on for more than a season or two and we’ll get a good character arc out of her (bonus points for her being queer but we all know that’ll be the reason she disappears instantly) (also I don’t want her to be so fucking green. Make it so that she moved from another state/borough and has been working sex crimes for like, 5+ years already, someone that benson doesn’t need to babysit!)

-She could also be the sergeant if they move fin up to lieutenant and I think that’d be bad ass

-Rollins popping up more BUT, as Olivia’s friend, or a consult on a case with whatever her new job is

-More family/found family moments

-Maybe an actual court room scene once in a while, bring back some of our beloved defence attorneys and give Carisi something to DO for once

-Overall a bigger regular cast. S8/9 was PRIME for that kind of shit cause we had a captain, a sergeant, three to four detectives, an ADA, an ME, and a psychiatrist that were in basically every episode. I know that it’s likely a budget issue nowadays, but they could rotate through everyone LIKE THEY ARE DOING NOW, but with less people, it makes no sense. It made sense when there was such a larger cast cause it’d give one character an episode to show off and then they’d be gone or only have 1 line the next, they’re simply not utilizing the cast that they have right now and it’s fucking stupid and fucking sucks.

I think that’s all I’ve got for now lol. We’ll see…

A lot of y'all know I been obsessed with Rammellzee for a hot second now. I don't have the crazy obsession y'all have w/ Basqiuat, or Andy Warhol. But of that downtown scene, I reaaaally loved Haring as a yute dem and I really fucked with A. Charles just off seeing their work publicly all around me.

But once I found Ramm, it was another revelation. A convergence of a lot of shit I like wrapped in one enigmatic weirdo artist's ideas to pick apart and break down. Bruh, this nigga straddles genius and mental illness in a wild way. There's a touch of Rammellzee in MF DOOM.

One of the reasons I liked the young rapper Wiki when I found him in 2012, (outside of this video) is because him/his crew "Ratking" refers to "Letter Racers". I instantly thought, "yo, this kid is tapped in!".

Also, I'm guilty for really obsessing over late 80's and 90's era NYC culture. Y'all wasn't outside, but there's just something super ill about that downtown time/space that incubated so much of our culture from my hometown. Alex Corporan (of Supreme's OG crew) summed it thusly: "The ‘90s in NYC lands as the last of the epic, raw, untouchable, unstoppable, fearless times for life. You're unable to replicate the experience of what was happening in New York during this time. Skateboarding, music, nightlife, art, fashion... you name it! 2000-2004 held onto that energy for a bit, but from 1990-1999 you grew up real fast and experienced shit in light speed."

Anyways, NY Times did a piece I wanna hit y'all with. I sprinkled in some video/links/pics for razzle-dazzle. Long live Rammellzee! In the late nineteen-seventies, the sociologist Nathan Glazer had grown weary of riding New York’s graffiti-covered subways. The names of young vandals, who identified themselves as “writers” rather than as artists, were everywhere—inside, outside, sometimes stretching across multiple train cars. Glazer didn’t know who these writers were, or whether their transgressive spirit ever manifested itself in violent crimes, but that didn’t matter. The daily confrontation with graffiti suggested a city under siege. “The signs of official failure are everywhere,” he wrote in an influential 1979 essay. Graffiti, with its casual anarchy and cryptic syntax, offered glimpses into a “world of uncontrollable predators.” In the nineties, Glazer’s essay would help inspire the concept of “broken windows” policing—a theory that preserving the appearance of calm, orderly neighborhoods can foster peace and civility.

Graffiti has always had this kind of metaphorical power. It is somehow more than art or destruction (even though it is both), and it prompts awe or dread, depending on your tolerance for disorder. For every Glazer, there were romantics like Norman Mailer, who had written the text for a book of photographs elevating graffiti to the status of “faith.” From his perspective, graffiti forced the upper crust to reckon with the names and the fugitive dreams of a forgotten underclass: “You hit your name and maybe something in the whole scheme of the system gives a death rattle.”

Few people understood and internalized this power as deeply as the artist, rapper, and theoretician Rammellzee (which he styled as The ramm:ell:zee). He believed that his time in the train yards and the tunnels of New York gave him a vision for how to destroy and rebuild our world. He was born in 1960 and grew up in Far Rockaway, Queens. His birth name is a closely guarded secret; he legally changed it to his artistic tag in 1979. (He also insisted that The ramm:ell:zee was an “equation,” not a name.) Little is known about his youth, aside from passing aspirations to study dentistry (he was good with his hands) and to be a model (in a 1980 catalogue, he is identified as Mcrammellzee).

Ramm—as he became known—believed that language enforced discipline, and that whoever controlled it could steer people’s thoughts and imaginations. His hope wasn’t to replace English; he wanted to annihilate it from the inside out. His generation grew up after urban flight had devastated New York’s finances and infrastructure. Ramm channelled the chaos into a spectacular personal mythology, drawn from philology, astrophysics, and medieval history. He was obsessed with a story of Gothic monks whose lettering grew so ornate that the bishops found it unreadable and banned the technique. The monks’ work wasn’t so different from the increasingly abstract styles of graffiti writing, which turned a name into something mysterious and unrecognizable. Ramm developed a philosophy, Gothic Futurism, and an artistic approach that he called Ikonoklast Panzerism: “Ikonoklast” because he was a “symbol destroyer,” abolishing age-old standards of language and meaning; “Panzer” because this symbolic warfare involved arming all the letters of the alphabet, so that they might liberate themselves. He lived these ideas through his art and his music, and by being part of the hip-hop scene during its infancy.

In 1983, Rammellzee and a rapper named K-Rob went to visit the painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. Though Ramm and Basquiat were friends, they were also rivals. Ramm would later say that Basquiat wasn’t a “dream artist”—he didn’t so much radiate visions outward as take things in like a “sponge,” learning about genius from books. He and Ramm once bet on who could most convincingly parody the other’s work. (Ramm claimed not only that he won but that Basquiat’s art dealer, who wasn’t in on their ruse, told Basquiat that “his” work was the best he had ever done.)

That night, Basquiat invited Ramm and K-Rob to record a song he’d written. Ramm, who had rapped in the movie “Wild Style,” was already known for his unique nasal sneer. (He called it his “gangster duck” style.) The two men looked at Basquiat’s elementary rhymes, laughed, and tossed them in the trash. Instead, they made up their own lyrics—a brilliant, surreal tale of a kid (the earnest, bemused K-Rob) who’s on his way home and a hectoring pimp (Ramm) who tries to tempt him toward the dark side. Basquiat called the song “Beat Bop,” and paid for it to be produced; he painted the vinyl single’s cover art himself. The song was murky and strange, like a spiky funk jam slowed to a sinister crawl. In the background, someone tunes a violin. There’s so much echo and reverb on the track that it sounds like an attempt at time travel.

In the eighties, graffiti gained acceptance in the art world. Despite Ramm’s charisma, the intensity of his work and his stubborn, erratic personality kept him on the movement’s fringes. Where Basquiat and Keith Haring seemed shy showmen, Ramm came across as a nutty professor. His early paintings took inspiration from the psychedelia of comic books and science fantasy, with mazy train tracks running across cosmic reliefs. His palette was attuned to the era’s anxieties about nuclear war and nuclear waste. The colors were bright and garish, suggesting a box of neon highlighters run amok.

Rammellzee created and wore full-body suits of armor that he called “Garbage Gods.”

In the mid-eighties, he began rendering these ideas in 3-D. He made sculptures that evoked the fossilized remains of twentieth-century life: newspaper clippings, key rings, chain links, and other junk, floating in an epoxy ooze. The most remarkable works were his “Garbage Gods,” full-body suits of armor, some of which weighed more than a hundred pounds. They look like junk-yard Transformers doing samurai cosplay. His most famous character, the Gasholeer, was outfitted with a small flamethrower.

Ramm’s art, thought, and music are the subject of the exhibition “ramm∑llz∑∑: Racing for Thunder,” at Red Bull Arts New York.

Befitting the popular drink’s own sense of iconoclasm, “Racing” bathes in Ramm’s frenzied, free-associative, and occasionally overwhelming energy. There are his early canvases and sculptures, along with flyers, business cards, manifestos, and patent applications. A small theatre screens previously unseen videos of Ramm rapping at nightclubs. The most impressive part of the survey is a floor devoted to his “Garbage Gods” and “Letter Racers”—skateboards representing each letter of the alphabet, armed with makeshift rockets, screwdrivers, and blades.

Throughout the exhibition, you can hear moments from Ramm’s lectures on Gothic Futurism—a thrilling jumble of street-corner hustling and technical language, all “parsecs,” “integers,” “aerodynamics.” As I was examining a collection of hand-painted watches, I kept hearing Ramm pause as he reached the end of a long disquisition on ecological catastrophe and graffiti-as-warfare, and then bark, “Next slide!”

In early May, the Red Bull Music Festival staged a Ramm-inspired concert to mark the opening of the art show. Ramm had continued to make music after “Beat Bop,” never wavering from his philosophies, just declaring them against increasingly turbulent, industrial-sounding backdrops. The eclecticism of the bill spoke to his wandering ear, and ranged from the terse hardcore of Show Me the Body to the wise-ass raps of Wiki. K-Rob, wearing a T-shirt featuring a mushroom and the words “I’m a Fun Guy,” reprised his verse from “Beat Bop,” grinning the whole way through. Gio Escobar, the leader of the deft punk-jazz band Standing on the Corner, dedicated a song to a late friend. The departed are everywhere around us, he said, as a groove emerged from the band’s dubbed-out chaos. “And they’re waiting.”

As hip-hop and art changed, as graffiti vanished from New York’s trains and walls, Ramm delved further into his own private cosmos—namely, the enormous loft in Tribeca where he lived, which he called the Battle Station. His obscurity wasn’t a choice. In the early eighties, he offered to send the U.S. military some of the intelligence he had gathered for national defense. (It declined.) In 1985, he wrote an opera, “The Requiem of Gothic Futurism.” In the nineties, he tried to promote his ideas by producing a comic book and a board game. He thought that toy manufacturers might want to mass-produce his “Garbage Gods” models.

He was the first artist to collaborate with the streetwear brand Supreme.

There was a series of infomercial-like videos to seed interest in “Alpha’s Bet,” an epic movie that he hoped would finally resolve the narrative arc of his extended universe.

By the time Rammellzee died, in 2010, after a long illness, New York City had been completely remade by mayoral administrations that took broken-windows policing as gospel. The Battle Station became condos.

The Internet has made it easy to take what the culture provides you and rearrange it in some novel, cheeky way. It’s much more difficult to build an entirely new world—to abide by an ethical vision with a ferocity that requires you to break all the rules. I was surprised by how moved I felt standing underneath Ramm’s “Letter Racers” and studying the textures of the “Garbage Gods.” To see their meticulous handiwork up close was to believe that Ramm’s far-flung theories, his mashup of quantum physics and “slanguage,” made sense as an outsider’s survival strategy. I noticed all the discarded fragments of city life—bulbs and screws, a billiard ball, a doll’s head, old fan blades and turn-signal signs, visors stacked to look like pill bugs. His commitment was total. These are works of devotion.

This is where Ramm wanted to live—at the edge of comprehensibility, but in a way that invited others to wonder. Cities are filled with strangers who possess an unnerving energy, who hail us with stories, songs, and poems. Ramm was one of these. In an interview filmed in the aughts, Ramm sheds light on his everyday life. Sometimes, he says, he’ll be walking down the street or sitting at a bar, and people will just look at him. And sometimes they’ll come up to him and ask, “Who are you?” He’s explaining all this while wearing one of his “Garbage God” masks. You notice his paunch, the warm crackle of his voice at rest. “I’m just an average Joe,” he says, and he sounds like he believes it.

bruh i cant with my dads brain worms anymore i was having a conversation about a coworker of mine whos an ex park ranger that ended up quitting and how she was uncomfortable there bc at least one of her coworkers was a straight up outspoken nazi like as in he went to the charlottesville and everything and my dad butted in from theee other room (wasnt even talking to him) just to be like 'well that can happen in any workspace its not the parks departments fault :) she shouldnt have left over that' ok well surely you can understand why it is uniquely bad for the government to hire an outspoken nazi in a law enforcement position though. right. and why someone may be uncomfortable working in such an environment. please tell me you can at least understand this

[misteria247]

Oh shit I'd forgotten to talk about this-!

Okay so yesterday I'd finished volume seven of Lupin III from the TokyoPop publication and in a few chapters I was given something I never saw coming from Monkey Punch!

An origin story of how Lupin and Zenigata met! At least one of them.

The chapter names are:

Chapter 63: Collegial Damage

Chapter 64: Campus Strife

Chapter 65: A Course in Hypocrisy

Basically the chapter opens up with Lupin III trying to get into a prestigious college that's known to accept the best of the best. The only problem is that you need to get an acceptance letter from the school in order to get in. Which Lupin doesn't have, (however he gets in via the usual violent hijinks). It's during these three chapters that Lupin runs into Zenigata Koichi, a third year law student who's the sixth Zenigata to attend this college. Who also happens to be seeing Fujiko Mine romantically as well btw (but then again if you read the manga you'll come to realize that Monkey Punch just names most of his female protagonists Fujiko so she's probably not the same one we all know and love).

Anyways when Lupin first meets Zenigata he thinks that he's just some guy who thinks he's from a big shot family of policemen and other law enforcement workers. And then Lupin hears the name Zenigata and he basically goes-

"Oh shit he is a big shot in the infamous family name department well I'll be damned."

From that point on Lupin messes with Zenigata, and Zenigata just gets more and more frustrated with this thief. He can't stand how Lupin steals test papers and runs parties on campus and sneaks into the girls dormitories. Basically he thinks that Lupin's a menace and makes it his personal mission to get Lupin expelled from the college.

It's honestly super surreal to see that according to Monkey Punch, Lupin and Zenigata have known each other since college. And as soon as both of them meet they just know that they're gonna be seeing each other more often even after college. Like Zenigata has made it his mission to knock Lupin down a few pegs and Lupin has made it his mission to annoy the future inspector as much as he can. It was an instant connection in the rivalry department.

And honestly it just makes their relationship even funnier. Like basically this long ass rivalry/weird friendship/possible flirting that's been going on for the past 50 years. Had started because two college boys decided to be extremely petty towards each other and towards no one else.

Like bruh. 😂😭😂😭😂😭

>"His world was DEAD! He was desperate!"

>"Silver had no reason to be jaded"

People have this serious problem lately where they'll decide they like something, and thus it is completely above criticism and without flaw and anyone who has anything negative to say about it is just making stuff up. They won't acknowledge the story As Written, and instead will completely rewrite the story in their head into something better and start defending THAT instead.

Silver being desperate and yet naive because he lived in a miserable fire and brimstone hell world his entire life where he was taught to depend on other people to survive such to the point that he accepts the aid of others unquestioningly and would accept any solution no matter how unbelievable or morally duplicitous in order to save the world would indeed be a better way to present Silver's story. But that simply is NOT the story that was written in the game. The story did not do any of the leg work to establish those things whatsoever. YOU did the legwork in your own imagination, sweety. The game doesn't get credit for the story YOU wrote. (You as in That Person, not you aquillis)

And now they're getting all pissy at because we aren't accepting silver's story is good in 06 because "well when you ignore absolutely everything about the narrative as it was written and just make a bunch of shit up in your head it becomes super compelling" like bruh

Pretty much. This is why I tend to make sure I'm as accurate as can be, especially with the story aspects that don't make a whole lot of sense. So that way I myself wouldn't fall into the trap of that to make the story better. I even plan on rewatching 5D's at some point to help get a better grasp of the characters for a possible AU with the series going more games than cards.

As such, I don't appreciate it when people delude themselves into thinking that their 'headcanons' (more like 'The canon they enforce on others') are actually real, and try to force it upon me when I know that's wrong, cause the game/comic/whatever is telling me the exact opposite.

[hardtruthsfromsoftcats-blog]

This isn't always the case, but it sure seems to be true on a number of issues. The problem isn't that they want to discuss the problem, but that the insistence of a discussion is all that they have to offer. Be wary when you're trying to solve a problem and people are trying to slow you down.

This reared its head, in my opinion, in the AI community recently with the AGI letter. Here are a bunch of, shall we say, "machine learning influencers" (I can't believe that's a thing) insisting that we pause training something "more powerful" than GPT-4. And maybe that's a good idea! I think we are not, as a society, keeping up with the technology. But also, like, bruh, is that all you have to offer? I won't get into the details of why this was such a boneheaded petition from a pragmatic perspective, at least not in this post (How would you even verify it? What does it mean when the only organization that has something like GPT-4 isn't signing on? How would you enforce participation? etc. etc.). The point is, though, there are a number of things we could lobby for right now that would, through the policy, align the effects of AI tools with what society wants. But these talking heads have nothing to offer --- they simply punt the question back to you, the reader of their petition, pat each other on the back and declare victory.

No, I lied, it's worse than that, because when challenged, a lot of them dug in their heals and dogmatically pushed back. As just one example, Gary Marcus, the guy who simultaneously says that deep learning doesn't work but also that AGI is imminent and a threat to our society (??) went so far as to foist future blame of the end of the world on people that didn't sign the petition. As if that was going to solve the problem; I don't see him presenting real solutions.

(So as not to be the guy who complains and does nothing to help the problem, in an upcoming post I'll suggest a bunch of possible actions we could take to help improve the symbiosis of AI development and society.)

I've seen this phenomenon with a few other areas, like "we need to have a discussion about stem cells" or "gun control," or "CRISPR"; if you want to have a discussion then start the conversation, don't offload responsibility onto your peers.

Honestly, I think people are just too afraid of being wrong. But as long as you aren't dogmatic about it, you can always change your opinion. It's okay to be wrong! But take a stance, pick a side, make an argument, and be ready to change your opinion based on the other arguments brought before you. Only by taking a stance will you set the groundwork for discussion and actually have one. Otherwise, you'll just be distracting people from the top of the fence.

So apparently some folks are upset about the new krabby patty meal at Wendy’s bc apparently Stephen Hillenburg never wanted SpongeBob to sell fast food to kids? Which, I’ve had many SpongeBob toys from fast food in the last 25 years or whatever, so.

Also: the new meal is clearly for nostalgic adults like me. It doesn’t come with a toy and it’s an adult sized meal. So.

But moreover: bruh. Kids are gonna want to have fast food even if it doesn’t even come with a toy because it tastes good and for a lot of kids it’s a special treat.

Why are we teaching kids from a young age that food that tastes good is bad? Why are weirdos like Mayor Bloomberg or whatever so obsessed with who is drinking soda?

When I was in high school they replaced our soda machines with Snapple and Gatorade machines (which, I mean. Those aren’t exactly less sugar??)

I think we can and should teach kids and teens how to make choices for nutritious food without enforcing diet culture, Puritan fucking BS on them. Good god.

Genshin Fontaine spoilers and like what???

Ok so the Skirk part confused me like she’s childe’s master and her master owns the narwhal? And is connected to Rhindottir?

So I looked it up and what??? Childe was in the abysss??

Also Surtalogi is one of the sinners of Khaenri’ah ok everything is connected to that like Nicole said something about how to look in places where the gods gaze doesn’t fall for like a solution to the problem with the Fontaine prophecy which is very similar to something Dain said about Khaenri’ah iirc??? And the fact that Skirk showed up when we fought the whale thingy which is apparently from space?? I feel like all Teyvat was created by the heavily principles and they want their bidding done and unknown god enforces it. Skirk and the whale fall outside of that as does the abyss and side note??? I want to know more about the abyss like you can just learn stuff there? It it like a physical place or??? Why is it bad exactly? I mean the order wants to kill Teyvat people for no reason. I get the impression it wasn’t the archons but heavenly principals who destoyed Khaenri’ah the archons were just defending their countries including Rex, anyway. So yeah Khaen probably effed up but the intentions may not have been bad. People who seriously take HP side after Fontaine…bruh. Yes playing God is usually bad but also no one should have absolute authority over people. The punishment does not fit the crime imo. Like surely there were innocent people who didn’t need to be cursed right? Also same w the Fontanian I digress. Why wouldn’t the principles punish Focalours and not all the people? It’s nuts.

So yeah. Khaen effed up but so did the principles and some archons aren’t great. Point is that all of this is connected and it’s crazy I’m super invested. The story of this game is freaking insane. Not to mention the Fatui casually obtaining the gnoses like shits gonna hit the fan when the Fatui makes a new fake God is it gonna fight against the loom of fate or something or would they team up to destoyed Celestia? Also I’m against celestial but also against abyss order and Fatui and just want everyone to be happy 😭. I’m scared cuz eirher the game will say HP is right because they can’t all be bad guys right? But they are they really are! The abyss order is wrong for wanting to kill people. Also I get the impression the abyss is just an empty place like nothing and will slowly drain you or make you go mad idk and maybe the order thinks they can make it a perfect world but it’s just not realistic and they probably think human emotion is stupid oe soemthing headcanon lol but it makes sense. Idk.
