since the clans have no war-specific code and are also always at war, this makes every crime a war crime. Disobeying your leader? Halfclan relationships? Eating before you fed meemaw? That's all treason, baybee!
well now we have to start discussing the definition of a war. now obviously, a state doesn't have to declare a war to be at war. but war crimes are part of the law of war which involves declaring war, so can they be at war without declaring it?

OKAY so what ive been thinking about for ages is ctommy and being soft vs quiet . because i feel like it's one of those things in his fandom characterisation that sparks the most debate and in my opinion theres a huge difference between the two but i keep seeing people mix them together.
ctommy is soft but he's not quiet, and to disregard either of those things is what makes him less believable in fanworks imo
because on one hand, of course he's not quiet, that's the most obvious and i think one of the most commonly accepted qualms that we have with general fan interpretations of him. he doesn't just lie down and take shit, he's always committed to being an annoying shit, he's straight up rude so often, and even just. vocally. man's loud as fuck. i think that's pretty easy to establish .
but then what i find is that sometimes we veer into the other opposite, by completely denying that ctommy is also very soft sometimes. and by this i don't mean he turns into strawberry shortcake or starts being polite or whatever, but it's the fact that he's not just crass and rude. he's very considerate a lot of the time, he just shows it. uh. in his Own Way let's say. he cares for animals so so much, he's always so apologetic when he thinks he's hurt one of them, for fuck's sake he sung to the FLOWERS. he's very soft with nature, with things he's attached to, with things he perceives as weaker than him and needing protection.
the complexity of ctommy and what makes him so hard to grasp is that he's loud, he's brash, he is NOT a perfect quiet victim who suffers in silence, he asks for help, he's rude, he steals stuff, he's annoying as shit; but he's also soft, and incredibly empathetic, and he has no shame in showing that softness for animals or nature or his friends.
ctommy, and this is very much because cctommy himself acts like that a lot, is constantly vacillating between someone with the maturity of a thirteen year old boy who shouts and swears and pretends not to give a shit, and a boy who will stop everything he's doing to look at the sky or a flower or an animal (which does contrast his stereotypical rude teenager persona, because lots of aforementioned thirteen year old boys Would be embarrassed or whatever to do that).
he does BOTH. he's not just quiet and nice and sad and lonely; but he's not just rude and loud and """uncaring""" (if there is one thing ctommy is not i think we can all agree its UNCARING).
and i think this is why a lot of debates around "woobifying" ctommy (who remembers the july 2021 trenches . the butterfly clips.) tend to point any ctommy design that portrays him as soft, cozy, or even leaning into his feminine side as the be-all end-all of reducing his character.
in reality i think that misses the mark a bit because while there IS something to be said for sure about people turning ctommy into Blonde Anime Child #249824 and stripping him of his Very Vibrant character, i don't think that putting him in butterfly clips and skirts erases him in the same way. i think he could very much lean into that kind of thing . as long as he's still flipping off the camera we're all good
TLDR : fans strip ctommy of his loud-and-annoying persona but in avoiding that some forget that he's a character who's not afraid to be soft
#this isn't like. angry or anything btw. there are lots of things that make me angry about fan characterisations but not this#this is more like a general discussion of what i find interesting PLEASE add on!!!#like this is not discourse Lets not get mad peace and love we are all subjects to mischaracterisation and me the first like everyone else❤️#tommyinnit#c!tommy#mcyt#alex.rambles.txt

i've already made posts about this so many times but every time the raven queen's ascension gets brought up and its talked about like she did it for immortality or purely for power it makes me go a little insane because the story of her being a follower of the god of death before her and taking his place specifically because he didn't respect death is one of the best things about her lore in my opinion. that one of the biggest differences between her and those who failed attempts at ascension is that she did because of faith and not to spite it.
#critical role#the raven queen#i do fully understand that theres no reason for most of the characters to know this btw#and that given how wizards in the age of arcanum were. it Makes Sense to assume that#but something within me compels me to bring this up as often as possible.#and also dont get me wrong. she absolutely is still an example of extreme wizard hubris.#now i do absolutely think there are fascinating discussions that could be had about the implications of this reasoning#but the idea that she did it for selfish reasons of immortality or such and not out of her own faith and respect of death and the dead#i just love her okay!!!

so this is what ive gathered so far about the advantages and disadvantages of each team
GREEN NINJAS
Advantages:
PVP strong, various bases for each member, spawn in jungle biome, Etoiles
Disadvantages:
Every member for themself, fewer consistent players, ElQuackity, many conflicting leader personalities
SOULFIRE
Advantages:
Dedicated farming/resource team, consistent players, tactical when theyre on the same page, BBH
Disadvantages:
Spawn point in icy wasteland, uncoordinated game plans, uncoordinated timing, cat hits them with a frying pan :/, overconfidence, BBH
BOLAS ROJAS
Advantages:
Fuck it we ball, coordinated team efforts, coordinated timing into the late night, safe zone close to Center, good communication, Carre
Disadvantages:
Not overall pvp heavy, spawn point pretty much universally known, go through mountain to get to center
(please feel free to add more! i watch mostly BBH, but have also been watching foolish, cellbit, philza, tina, rivers, and bagi)
**edit: beds just didn't work in general, red also goes through mountain to get to Center
#qsmp#qsmp purgatory#more discussion in the reblogs!#all of this is in good faith btw!#let's continue the good faith in any comments ^_^#i would love more information on green ninjas especially

I legitimately think about padawan Dooku saying “every Jedi is a child his parents decided they could live without” to Yoda at least five times a week and I go insane about it every single time
#bc like!!!! that’s sort of the crux of it isn’t it!!!!!#‘I wonder sometimes if that is what drives us; that first abandonment#we have a lot to prove’#like are you JOKING ME#how is the entire thesis of the prequels arc just thrown away in some off brand legends novel#I feel like this is a real linchpin in the prequels era that nobody really seems to acknowledge#I would also argue this is the main point of the acolyte#the fact that the Jedi all come from somewhere#they all have parents and families and people that gave them away#whether it was for a good reason or not is almost irrelevant#it’s almost worse to think that the parents did love their kids and missed them and wanted them#we talk a lot about how the Jedi aren’t baby snatchers but what we’ve failed to discuss is the fact that#even if they aren’t (they aren’t) that does not magically make the inherent trauma of abandonment just. go away#star wars#star wars the clone wars#the acolyte#star wars prequels#this will get discussed in the ties that bind btw#like. a LOT

Any life series team up you'd like to see? With all the lists going around I thought I'd ask
i don't really have a 'dream game' when it comes to alliances and stuff because there's just a bunch of dynamics i like/want to see more of, so take this mish mash of a few alliances i'd think would be neat
with etho, there's a few people I'd fucking love for him to team up with, mostly Jim, Ren, Mumbo, BigB, Scar, Gem, or Skizz. If any of those guys team up with him, i will be a very happy ethogirl. OR actually if he doesn't end up allying with someone at all—the evil part of me is very interested in what could have happened in secret life had Cleo stuck with the heart foundation and Etho had no alliance off in his little corner of the map.
#the first two were discussed in the wip purge discord server btw i forgot who brought them up but i love them so much#nics rambles#trafficblr#life series#ethoslab#asks#anon#also im realising the second red one is just a chunk of the red army. they were good together okay.

Welp its over for ikemen 2007 anime dante. Goodbye. So long, your google image results. I will miss you and cherish every frame i have left before April 2025.
The time has come, my handsome devil.
#listen im still really excited for the dmc anime but the more i see of teaser and footage it just feels. off.#he seems a little too energetic for dante standards and im still not a fan of his design#netflix dante looks like the idea of how people who havent played the games see dante#like ‘hmmm. dante? white hair/red jacket/parted fringe—‘ WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE I REALIZE THATS HIS HAIR HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME#ITS TOO SHORT!!!!! HIS HAIR AT LEAST REACHES HIS CHIN!!!#ok ok seriously though. I’d be perfectly fine with this Dante.#if I didn’t knew damn well netflix dante will overshadow a lot of how people that havent played the games will interperate dante.#listen the games are hard and not everyone is willing to sit through a hours of gameplay footage and cutscenes#this will be a lot of casual people’s first actual look into the franchise. i know damn well the discourse is approaching provoking dark cl#btw i’d love to see any disagreements and discussions because i am curious#devil may cry anime#dmc anime 2007#devil may cry#dante sparda

if you're smiling you're vapid or flirty or vain or contrite or insipid or a massive bitch or coy or cunning and if you've relaxed and are just watching-back, you're enigmatic or mysterious or sexy or a massive bitch or coy or cunning and if you're frowning you're hysterical or overwrought or the voice of your people or hard to please or a massive bitch or
and you stand there reading the little plaque next to pictures of people who aren't really like you because they're rich and they wear satin but they are like you because they had to watch other people paint their pictures without getting to paint them by themselves and you think about the fact that something like 80% of "fine art" on the walls is only made by white men and how so many of these pictures are of white women and how many are of naked women and how many are of bloodshed, and how the women are all looking at you and watching you and there are so many discussions about what kind of a person is she
but she isn't in this painting, is she, she's watching like a ghost behind you, saying a man told my story and you know what that's like because her facial expression defines her personality (what if she was just happy? what if she was holding back a sneeze? what if she is a kind person who relaxes into a frown when she's not focusing?) and on trains and in public if you hunch too much or let your "resting bitch face" show (it means you're not-smiling. you don't even have to be frowning. you know people who think they have "resting bitch face" and really mean they don't look delicate and pretty when they're relaxing; their facial expression isn't even intimidating it just isn't lovely) like congratulations that's your whole personhood
oh it's lovely to be in art circles and of course you've had some similar conversations because you do your homework but when you point out that maybe it doesn't actually matter if the mona lisa is smiling, that maybe we need to look at something other than her lips - people tell you that you just don't get it, so maybe you don't, but your skin crawls because you picture someone taking a picture of you and saying is she coy? is she clever? what do we see? and you think. well, i'm hungry, and stressed, and i've got those rent bills incoming
and it's not like you can say it doesn't happen with men because of course there are conversations about it but you've noticed that a man with a blank face is empowered or showing leadership skills or calm or even kind - that he gets good attributes faster for less effort - and it's not like you're even a professional in these circles but it still feels like you're trying to express something very akin to - if you were one of us, you'd need no explanation for it because you can look at a picture of these women and something in your heart rings and something else in the back of your mind says - this isn't for everyone, this is only for us and you know that no matter what you do or say about dehumanization and how we are people at the end of the day and how not every woman who smiles at you lies on a spectrum of "flirting" or "devoid of wit" - no matter what you do, they're not going to get it.
#whatever this is#i love discussing art btw#i just have noticed a very specific pattern about this#that men in paintings are Powerful#where as a woman looking at the artist without any specific expression is ''enigmatic'' like bro she's just chillin

Favorite character from Greek mythology + favorite myth from Greek mythology?
Favorite characters
I'll turn this into a tag game : @margaretkart @dootznbootz @sarafangirlart @aliciavance4228 @katerinaaqu @hermesmoly @go-rocksquadsfan @sanska @vint-knight .
And @anon (you can give your answer in another ask 😉).
So, I have a loooooooot of faves. This list is long.
Here are mine :
Nobody. Yeah, in reality, I hate mythology and just pretend I like it. Or I just love making puns about my favorite lying war criminal. Who didn't cheat btw.
Penelope. These two are soulmates, no ifs or buts. I always found her underrated and @dootznbootz 's ramblings on her confirm that. Cunning and sassy half-naiad queen.
"The delian twins", as I like to call them. Idk I really love their multifaceted natures of protectors and deadly huntress/inflictor of illnesses (with an affinity towards plague). And their familial bond is precious. And I like them both equally, even though I talk about Apollo a bit more ig.
Leto. She's precious. They're always ready to defend each other. Like when Apollo and Artemis killed Niobe's kids because she was disrespectful to Leto. Or when Leto came in to save her son from being thrown in Tartarus by Zeus. Or when baby Artemis helped her mother deliver her brother. She fought for her children and now they fight for her.
Hestia. Too bad there isn't more about her because I relate a lot to the concept of chilling at home and staying away from drama.
Ariadne. Because of her family's tragic history, her healing from it with Dionysus (in most versions) and overall, she's great. Also, it's funny how Theseus wanted to marry a child of Zeus but his ex girlfriend actually succeeded 😂. Speaking of her family tragedy...
Asterius. I bet most adaptation authors don't know who I am referring to 🤣. He's a man-eating monster, yes, but he grew up isolated, trapped and unloved. I feel so bad for him.
Perseus. The GOAT. Partly thanks to @sarafangirlart. I already liked him since I always knew he wanted to save his mother, but he genuinely grew on me since I read her posts. That and when I learned of his war against Dionysus. Extremely underrated story.
Athena. Idk I don't think I need to elaborate on why she's cool.
Hades. In retellings, I often hate him because he's either woobified or made into "Greek Satan" (at least in Disney he's fun), but he's genuinely cool in mythology. Morally gray Hades save me.
Hermes. From birth, he was always a little trickster. I love how many functions he has (messenger of the gods, god of merchants, thieves, communication, also a psychopomp btw). A very energetic and helpful god.
Asclepius. I think I should make a post explaining why he's great because, yeah, I don't talk much about him even though there are things to say (yeah it's because I did a lot of research on him).
And... finally... Dionysus 🤣. Of course he made it in this list. I dedicated a whole essay series about this god, come on !
Honorable mentions : Hector, Andromache, Menelaus, Demeter, Telemachus, Hephaestus, Hippolytus, Danae, Ares and many others.
Favorite myths/plays/poems
I already answered that but can't find the post. So I'll do it again, with some new answers in mind. Basically "the myths with the characters on the list".
It's either because they're that compelling or just hilarious.
The homeric cycle. Ok, an easy one.
The Bacchae by Euripides (mandatory reading if you want to understand Dionysus imo. No excuses).
The frogs by Aristophanes. Because it's funny.
Asclepius' story. Seriously I'll elaborate on it one day.
Hermes' birth story. Him stealing Apollo's cows and Apollo getting mad at his scallywag of a brother 🤣🤣. And then just him winning Apollo over with the lyre.
Pirithous and Theseus getting their asses stuck on a chair (yes this is my title for this story). I love to mock these two, especially Pirithous because... give this man a Darwin award please. No thoughts and no survival instincts in his brain 😂.
Orpheus and Eurydice. Simple but powerful.
The Argonautica. Aka a huge crossover. Seeing more interactions between all these heroes would be awesome (especially if we take every version into account 👀. So many faces...). It's funny how I love the Argonautica but never talk about Jason himself 🤣🤣. The embodiment of the protagonist who's less interesting than the other characters.
Perseus' war against Dionysus. A potential retelling about this myth would go so hard !! Especially since we could get a scary Dionysus. Hopefully it doesn't get ruined :(
Edit : some English mistakes I had to correct.
#greek mythology#greek myth discussion#ask#maybe i don't talk that much about Asclepius because he's not disrespected in adaptations#he's inexistent most of the time and that's a shame. which is why I chose to write up something about him btw#and since i love to complain... 🤣 that's why i'm watching Kaos now. Lots of complaining material#not a reblog
