#like i don't

Kind've a part 2 to the last post: this is definitely something people have already said, and I'd wager it was done with authorial intent unlike the memory motif stuff, but I like to think that Azalin's castle in Darkon is called Castle Avernus because Darkon is his personal hell.

Counterpoint to my own thought, you could also argue that it has nothing to do with the other Avernus of DnD, and has more to do with the actual origins of the word as being the ancient name given to a volcanic crater thought to be the entrance to the underworld in ancient Rome, especially given the apparent detail of birds not being able to fly over its adjoining lake without dying due to noxious fumes, because "most birds can't fly around here without perishing" is a trait Castle Avernus shares. Also, now that I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure some part of the second gazetteers book makes mention of in-world rumors that the castle sits atop the entrance to something? I think that's a thing? Anyway, the "King of the Dead" gets a castle named after the entrance to the underworld, makes sense.

However... both? Both meanings can be true at the same time, I think.

Yasuke would be SO upset with his research being used as a foundation for Neo World, though.

Yasuke's entire purpose in going into neurology was to help people regain memories, to fight what is implied to be early onset Alzheimer's (from which his mother is implied to have died). His entire thing is about helping people to remember and maintain the memories their mind wants them to lose.

(In this case, the implication that this was used to help the survivors regain their missing memories is on point.)

But the idea that his research would be used to literally strip people of their memories to make them live new lives and then rewrite over those memories is such an affront to his research. It is the exact opposite of what his research was for.

And he would hate both it and everyone who used it for that purpose.

Vulcan teen on Vulcan [tiktok] saying "I have just lost track of my father in the grocery store." The camera turns to show the viewers the grocery store in which almost every single older middle-aged man has a bowlcut and long robes. Camera turns back to show the teen's face which is expressionless and yet communicates all it needs to.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.
