If Luo Binghe had died at the end of PIDW (and Airplane had properly finished the story before his own sudden and unexpected demise), how much do you think that would change Shen Yuan's attitude after losing his shit over it and then transmigrating into Shen Qingqiu?
So much of SV only really happens because Shen Yuan is comfortable in his certainty that the world at least won't let Luo Binghe, even if he suffers. Eventually he realizes that he can't really stand letting Luo Binghe suffering either, but part of how he compartmentalizes his no-win scenarios with the System (like the Abyss) is that, well, Binghe will be fine in the long run. He'll conquer the world, win all the ladies, live in sprawling palaces, ascend to untold heights of power, and reach a point where no one can ever threaten him again because he's just too strong to be threatened.
But if the story ended with Luo Binghe's destruction, all that would go out of the window, wouldn't it?
The idea that the world would ultimately see Luo Binghe safe would vanish. Now, it's just that Luo Binghe gets to live until his death is deemed poignant enough. What if something Shen Qingqiu does makes that point arrive sooner? But also, it's gotta be possible for him to thwart Luo Binghe's canonical death, and he wouldn't accept otherwise.
He'd be so stressed out.

Solar geoengineering is climate engineering rooted in tech hype. It is not something climate scientists are pushing, indeed, many are pushing against leaning on these hopium fantasies, especially since they appear to be hyped to help industry delay doing anything else.8 It also seems that climate deniers are starting conspiracy theories to assert that “cloud seeding” is to blame as a cause of torrential rains that cause flooding, rather than climate change itself.
Many references to “climate engineering” are actually a part of climate denial & disinfo narratives.
When media attempts to both-sides coverage of climate engineering disinfo, they walk right into the hands of controlled opposition, led up the garden path by tech hype decoys.
https://chloehumbert.substack.com/p/climate-engineering-part-of-climate-denial
It may appear superficially that “two sides” of an issue have been represented, but in reality it winds up meshing together things like cloud seeding, solar geoengineering, and conspiracy theories about chemtrails, and then calling all that “rooted in conspiracy theory and climate science” when what they’re really talking about is a right-wing crackpot insurrectionist who is pushing nonsense legislation, and fanciful and flawed climate engineering concepts rooted in tech hype. It seems poised to smear climate activists, experts, and officials, who call for regulation of reckless tech hype solutions as rooted in conspiracy theory the same as election deniers and crackpots.

why craig are take over world
essay by me (craig)
As much as Craig may seem like a simple doodle of a cat, his potential for world domination should not be underestimated. Despite his crude appearance, Craig embodies the essence of adaptability and resilience, traits that are essential for any aspiring ruler.
Firstly, Craig's simplicity works to his advantage. Underestimation is a powerful tool in warfare, and many would dismiss Craig as inconsequential. However, this oversight allows Craig to operate in the shadows, biding his time until the perfect moment to strike.
Secondly, Craig's lack of defined features makes him a versatile symbol. He can represent anything from innocence to cunning, depending on the narrative spun around him. This ambiguity allows Craig to appeal to a wide range of followers, from disillusioned citizens seeking change to opportunistic power-seekers.
Thirdly, Craig's handwritten signature adds a personal touch to his endeavors. In a world increasingly dominated by digital signatures and impersonal interactions, Craig's handwritten mark harkens back to a simpler time, fostering a sense of nostalgia and authenticity among his followers.
In conclusion, Craig may appear unassuming at first glance, but beneath his simplistic exterior lies the potential for world domination. Through adaptability, versatility, and a personal touch, Craig has the tools necessary to rally followers and reshape the world in his image. Beware the power of Craig, for his ascent to global dominance may be closer than we think.

sorry (not sorry) for abt to make ur jason sad hours longer 😔 www(.)tumblr(.)com/dizaryswrites/726489826907570176/utrh-jason-is-an-angry-son-lashing-out-at-every
ohh i have mixed feelings on this one. esp bc depictions of willis have varied from what i know of him? like, sometimes hes an irredeemable abuser and other times he's just a guy trying his best but not being able to bc of the systems in place. like i don't remember there being any implication that jasons dad was abusive in his original story (been a while since ive read it so dont quote me on that), just that he wasn't around bc yknow. in prison. my impression of him is generally "absentee father but not by choice". not that readings of him as abusive are wrong but i'm not sure i see it as such a clear cut thing.
as for henchmen. thats so. jason is such a "means to the end" kind of guy to me. like a "killing the head guy causes new problems, killing his lackeys makes him easier to control" type deal. jason is incredibly strategic in what he does which is why he can be such a pest to the people around him and why he's intimidating in the first place.
one of those posts that feel like a "well i was with you for the first half" bc the allusion to chess is spot on, jason IS a strategist, its the dad bits that threw me off. I do think it's a valid interpretation, it's just not one I find personally compelling. esp bc the idea that hes killing henchmen to kill his father over and over again feels like it takes away from the previously mentioned strategy aspect of what he does.
again, I don't doubt that there's canon stories somewhere that i've missed that have willis as an abusive husband, and I think in that context that interpretation probably makes sense. but I'm just not that familiar with those versions. I also just personally find jason's story much more compelling with the version of willis that wasn't abusive or good, just gone. missing out on almost all of jason's life, missing his wife's death, sitting in a prison cell because he was desperate to get by.
TLDR: it's not contradicting canon or anything from what i can tell, i just don't like it and i think it makes the rest of jason's character more... boring.

@anothercrisis I had to make a separate post for this.

Think about it. Think about Price.
Price who grew up always wanting to be a knight at the palace.
Price who became best friends with the princess when he finally started working there.
Price who may or may not have helped her sneak out from boring ass royal balls and stuff to the first tavern they found just to take a break when the stuffy atmosphere inside the palace got too much.
Price who pretended not to notice when Laswell kept insisting on going to a particular tavern for "no particular reason" and totally not because she was head over heels for the cute bartender.
Price who became Captain of the Guard as soon as Laswell took the crown even though maybe he was still tad too young.
Price who desperately wanted to keep up to everyone's expectations of him and always had a sense of righteousness that was a bit too strong.
Price who searched high and low, knocking on every single door and messaging all their allies for their best doctors, who searched every inch of the kingdom and then searched it twice more to be sure looking for the flower, not only to save the Queen but to save his best friend.
Price who definitely didn't cry actual real tears of joy when she was okay in the end, shut up you'll ruin his reputation.
Price who definitely didn't cry actual real tears of joy when they asked him his opinion on naming the prince after him, I said shut up you'll ruin his reputation.
Price who beats himself up day in and day out for not waking up in time that fateful night. Maybe if he'd stayed guard himself, maybe if he didn't sleep so heavily, maybe if this, maybe if that.
Price who gives up his place and doesn't step foot in the palace again, ridden with guilt.
Price who, a twenty-something years later, whilst having a drink at the Snuggly Duckling sees a young man walk in that has a solid seventy feet of gold fucking hair.
Price who doesn't say anything yet, because fuck he knows man, maybe there's more blokes out there with sun magic, but makes it his new life mission to make sure that boy will see the damned lights.
Price who is hastily informed by a fucking horse (he has long ago stopped asking questions at this point) that Ghost has been captured and gathers the best men he knows rushing to the palace (where of course he knows every single secret passage by heart) to sneak in and get him out.

// remember when the legion epilogue came out and revealed azerite and shaw gave the azerite piece to anduin, who inexplicably had no gloves on and when it touched his bare hands he reacted so viscerally everyone thought theorized that the azerite was going to corrupt everyone and then that absolutely wasn't the case at all
