Ben knows that eventually they will realize he is useless and devour him. But in the meantime, life is for the living...

Which for him means until the next Eclipse of the Hidden Moon of Agnoch in 2026 according to the secret texts, so, live it up until then.

So like, anyone had any juicy takes on the states relationship with México's states, Canada's provinces or maybe even Australia's states?

Cause honestly, it would be refreshing to see the states talk to other personifications OUTSIDE their country but probably never gonna happen, but doesn't mean we can't make hcs or theories of it.

i checked ao3 and did a google search and on the fandom end, Meanwhile In Australia seems pretty empty 😭it needs to be adopted. The world to know about 70% problematically toxic otp goodness of NSW/TAS and the slight enemies to lovers in cool hats vibe of South Africa/South Australia.

....

Okay Vivi you know what to do.

We have a civic duty to adopt the silly little Aussie states and make up ridiculous amounts of detailed fanon lore.

I was in a research talk this week with a researcher who is doing some stuff related to grocery retailers, and he mentioned -- off the record and anecdotally so of course I'm telling all of you here -- that the major grocery chains (Coles and Woolies, as above) have shareholders who saw ridiculous record profits during the lockdowns here, and now they won't let profits fall back down. They need that little bar on the graph to continue to increase, if not as dramatically, rather than allowing the more realistic regression to the mean, the decrease in profits and return to a steady state.

The farmers are on record saying "we're not charging the retailers more than we were a few years ago". The cost of food hasn't increased. The cost of groceries have because the shareholders' greed is endless.

Activists in Tasmania have stuck up more honest promo stickers inside Coles & Woolworths stores, the two dominant supermarket chains in Australia.

Fiona and Cake spoilers seriously

(Something I noticed abt Betty and Simons relationship)

I love Betty and Simon’s relationship, I think their back story is so cute and romantic and all that lovely stuff don’t get me wrong.

But there’s this under tone of Betty constantly giving things up for Simon and we don’t really talk about it a lot???

Like, Betty let Simon have his moment with the artifact and the pubic, she also doesn’t go to her trip in favor of going on an expedition with Simon. Then when she goes to leave again she stays for Simon.

Even Fiona is like “you went with her on the bus?” And Simon just looks all confused like “what? No, why would I do that?” Like- hello???

Then after that she gave up her entire life and mind to get Simon back to the point where she literally says “I don’t know who I am without him anymore.” And that just sucks! Since the beginning Betty has been the one giving up the most, her mind, her own possible career, and it’s a story of love of course and it’s very sweet but it’s also a story of sacrifice.

Their love wasn’t a perfect solution, it was already sort of imbalanced when it started and I lowkey love how we see those cracks even before they’re together.

Again, I love their relationship and I think it’s sweet. I just think we should talk about Betty’s side more, especially when she tells a story of what most women do in relationships, sacrifice.

very much enjoying the post tmagp cultural exchange as every british listener unloads their intense and assorted blobby-related trauma for the international audience to enjoy

#hear me out: we should send more people west to balance it out#so it doesn't tip over#sure its mostly desert north of Perth#but it's nice and could stay nice if they don't spread to close to the coast
