My posts

I’ve been working on a Silent Hill 2 remake commentary (in tandem with @idoherty451) as I slowly play a practice run through the game. As I keep saying, but in case you haven’t heard: I have never played a video game before. I started out stuck in the parking lot begging James to pick up the map, but now I have video of my skill-and-strategy practice with Pyramid Head. If you’re familiar with the game, I have currently just finished playing Toluca Prison in the dark, because I am a brave little toaster, and I am now moving into the Labyrinth. 

(I post things on Patreon first, if you’d like to be on the mailing list for things like that and also Weekend Links, but any gameplay video will be public for copyright reasons.)

Why I'm defiantly focusing on a video game instead of current events.

Also, I have been sick and very mad about it, but my throat is recovering now.

This is a bit of a mega-linkspam because it’s been a very long time since I’ve been well enough to do regular posts (my herniated disc is doing better now, thank you), and we’ve got a good 4-5 weeks of material in 2025 alone.

Manic Manul : Sal Malvina, below the law

[unknown-lifeform]

Ok so I get an update to this:

Zoro definitely has a scary dog daemon - like a Rottie or a pitbull or something. One of those absolute brick shithouse of a dog, that also has the capacity of turning into the neediest whiniest baby when around humans they love. That is I feel a very good representation of Roronoa "I knew this weird rubber kid for a week and I would die for him" Zoro

Sanji get a heron of some kind. It's connected to water, which is nice for him. Long legs, also nice. They are also both extremely majestic and deeply dumb looking animals depending on what angle you look at them

Franky gets a beaver for obvious carpenter reasons

Not a Strawhat but Law should totally have a manul. Fluffy kitty. 10/10 would attach itself to your face and claw it off. The perfect creature to express the many emotions Law has to go through when dealing with the Strawhats. Bepo has one (1) challenger for fluffiest creature in this submarine and that is Law's daemon

Talk to us about the OP daemon au please? 👀

Tbh I haven't a lot to say yet because it's literally just starting to take root into my brain so I haven't decided on a lot of things yet

I did read a fic where Devil Fruit users who ate a Devil Fruit before their daemon settled got the classic magic user has bird daemon trope and it's definitely nice. I can see Robin with a corvid to cover the bird quota, intelligent critter quota, and creepy quota all at once. Absolutely no clue of what I'd give Luffy tho, I'm not that knowledgeable about birds so I'd have to do research

Not too sure about the others either. I think in a way it would be funny for Usopp to have a big scary spider? Both because it's funny to give the scaredy cat character a scary daemon, and because Usopp is a) crafty and b) an expert when it comes to using natural resources to make ammo. As for Nami, maybe one of those small monkeys that you always see in pirate media. It's pirate-y, and it's a good parallel to Nami being very handy (y'know, maps) while also having a mischievous association. That's about as far as my current ideas go

Absolutely no clue how to handle Brook lmao

That being said I think the Strawhats in general should be a bunch of weirdos who don't care at all about rules and freely touch each other's daemon because of found family. It doesn't have to be romantic they're just Nakama TM and that allows you to cuddle with other people's daemons. I think it would be pretty sweet. Especially if we have, say, the more emotionally controlled characters like Zoro have the cuddliest daemon who is always getting ear scritches from someone

[havoc-warband]

as soon as i learn how to draw charr i am going to have such a good time pitting my Shiverpeaks-charr-population-Floofy-Gene-heir Vikaros against Ascalonian born-and-bred Tavryn. vik is one step away from manul cat levels of fluff. tav is so shorthair you wonder if she millimeter-trims her whole body. if it is warm, tav will be comfy as hell while vik suffers in as little armor as he can get away with. cold weather? tav is bundled the Fuck Up and vik is out and about like it’s room temperature. vik’s tail is fluffier than hers, but not by that much, just noticably. she is perfectly camouflaged her eternally fall-themed homelands. vikaros is invisible in snowy woodlands. (not counting armor here obviously, my dearest blueberry eyesore)

i have not been tavryn posting enough; she’s an interesting character, especially when putting her next to Vik. for one she is lawful good, but the practical execution of that in the High Legions as basically second-in-command of a warband means that she is not exactly on the Morally Good Side always. she does things Correctly according to the current paradigm. if the rest of the warband unilaterally decides on something slightly Lawfully Grey that they’re certain will turn out fine/better in the end, she’s the last to join in. her mental framework of duty, obligation and law is strong, and so the band really knows they’ll be fine if she agrees to whatever shenanigans they’re up to now.

she is not immune to wavering, though - when she does, and she trips over herself, it’s Severe and takes a while to get back up. after Claw Island, when Vikaros dragged them out of the High Legions snarling and brandishing his weapons at everyone who even seemed inclined to get in his way, she did not protest at the time, but afterwards, she needed a good few weeks to properly readjust herself, which the others had much less issue with. she’s solid and slow and steady. but she has trust in her Legionnaire/Captain, and that will always be her source of trust in her own decisions, too. moral compass outsourced, but only a little bit.

NHRC Chief: Government needs to tell what it has done to end the menace of manual scavenging

Expressing serious concern over the continuance of manual scavenging in the country, Mr. Justice H.L. Dattu, Chairperson, NHRC said that the Government needs to tell what it has done to end this menace. Merely putting laws in place will not to be suffice; the ground realties need to change. He was inaugurating the NHRC’s ‘Open fourum discussion on the issues and challenges of manual scavenging and human rights at the Commission’s premisies in New Delhi on 24th May’19

Justice Dattu said that even after the intervention of the Supreme Court in the matter, it appears that the laws to eradicate manual scavenging are lying on the table and may remain so unless implemented proactively. It’s a curse on society that we continue to hear about the deaths of people while cleaning sewage without protective gear, which amounts to violation of human rights. We hear about such incidents happening in the National Capital, imagine what will be the situation in the other parts of the country. The Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of 34 such incidents in the recent past. The NHRC Chairperson said that this menace should have ended long back by adopting some system as in developed countries.

Ms. Nilam Sawhney, Secretary, Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment said that the eradication of manual scavenging remains very high on the priority of the Government. Several programmes, policies and welfare measures, including the legislative and programmitic interventions, have been introduced and are being implemented to achieve the desired results.

She said that as per 2018 survey, there are 173 districts in the country where the problem of manual scavenging still continues. 34,749 manual scavengers have been identified so far. Uttar Pradesh tops the list with 16663 followed by Maharashtra with 6387 manual scavengers. Efforts are on to identify the manual scavengers for their rehabilation through skill development and financial assistance. Identification of dry latrines and their replacement with proper toilets is an ongoing exercise. The Railways have upgraded more than 55 thousand coaches with bio toilets so that human excreta does not fall on the tracks. 464 workshops have been conducted in various Municipalties for awarness about the laws on eradication of the manual scavenging and welfare measures for the rehabilation of manual scavengers. The focus is on shifting hazardous cleaning to mechanized cleaning.

Mr. Jaideep Govind, Secretary General, NHRC said that no doubt work is being done to address the issue but a lot needs to be done to eradicate the manual scavenging and open defecation. Many open defecation free villages are returing to older ways; availability of water remains a concern. The Minsitires need to own up the lot of problems to help them find solutions thereof. He expected that they will proacticevely and timely send the requisite reports to the NHRC as well as the compliance reports.

Many important suggestions emerged during the discussions, some of which are as follows:

Ensure strict compliance of the legal provisons to eradicate manual scavenging;

Increase the amount of scholarship for the children of manul scavenger upto Rs 5000 per month;

Disclose data on the number of manual scavengers in every part of the country proactively;

Make it compulsory that only those will be engaged for the job for cleaning, who are trained for the job and registerd;

Conduct survey and an audit on the incidents of deaths while cleaning sewage/ drainage to know the causes and suggestions for remedial measures;

Release data on the people got scholarship and rehabilataed;

Prepare a safety gear a kit and provise it to the municipalities which can give it to to people involved inb the job of cleaning;

Besides the NHRC Members, Mr. Justice P.C.Pant, Mrs. Jyotika Kalra, the other participants included Mr. Arun Bakora, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Ms. Yogita Swaroop, Economic Advisor, Ministry of Socila Justice and Empowerment Mrs. Deepa Bajwa, Director General, Defence Estates, Mr. V.

More Manul Law

“Mugiwara-nya—!”

He is so mad and so fluffy. And, no one else in the lil au thing is a cat. Nothing other than Law & his backstory changes. Which leads to very funny scenes in Sabaody where it’s like. a huge guy, a deceptively small guy, and a fuckin. chonky floofball. shittalking each other.

[bombsareforbabies]

I just think that Pallas Cats/Manuls are the most fitting cat for Law to be. Got spotty foreheads, grumpy golden eyes, tear tracks down the cheeks, and look so fed up but resigned with manhandling. And fluffy, did I mention fluffy?

But also imagine seeing a 3 billion beri bounty and it’s for a fuckin cat.

[bombsareforbabies]

Even more manul law, because I have given up on denying the floofiness has taken over my life

Y’all ever see those videos where a manul kneads biscuits into their tails before settling down on ‘em? Law does this and yet acts like he isn’t the cutest lil pirate on the grandline.

[bombsareforbabies]

I think if trafalgar law was a cat, he’d be a Pallas Cat/Manul. Very fluffy, very grumpy. Eternally pissed off looking, weird and skrunkly, and yet can have the biggest wettest saddest eyes and wet paper bag in a rainstorm aura too.

Also, they have spots on their heads and golden eyes which fits.

And, this gif has me thinking of Dressrosa Law. Carried around like a handbag, unhappy yet resigned to his fate:
