house md wildest show on earth. a main character outright assassinates a known dictator, a moment that would be the very beginning or the mid-series crisis in any other show - an act which creates a power vacuum in a foreign nation already filled with child soldiers and genocide, and it's literally only brought up again throughout the season because that guy's wife divorces him over it. and occasionally to explore his relationship with who he is as a person and a catholic after having deliberately taken a life for what he calculates as the greater good, but mostly it's about his divorce

#i no longer think wilson is the most divorced guy ever #sure he's been divorced more TIMES than chase #but the things he's been divorced OVER are way more normal #it is so nuts like . chase. bobbie. rob. bobert. what happened next. in the country i mean #like the president is dead. does his regime crack down extra hard on the ethnic cleansing?#does the power vacuum give the opposition a chance to step in?#how much of what the president said about the people he's wiping out having been in a similar dictatorship in the past is true?#does the nation descend into civil war? is the president's death the excuse the us or england or whoever is waiting for to step in #and assume ad hoc governance thus destabilizing the region even more?#all because one guy in one hospital decided the math was in favor of his killing a guy if that guy was going to order more killings?#absolutely NEVER explored. yeah do no harm and the morals we share with our partners are important #but christ alive. the aftermath of the assassination could be a whole show in and of itself and im pretty sure it just never comes up #house is a show #house md #q

kon coming home one day: yo who tf is that

tim: this is my new brother

9yo dick, sitting on Tim's lap, eating spam masubi: hi. want to kill tony zucco with me?

kon: ... sure?

You know I had to google how big a 9 year old is and I still think I made dick too small but whatever lmao.

#doodles #reverse robins AU #I wanna tell you the spam musubi is unlocking memories #my dad grew up in Hawaii so he would make us a lot of Hawaiian food #I remember after he had his stroke he made me musubis and ramen #and I sat next to him and listened to him talk and I remember not understanding anything he was saying #he was talking about the history of Kansas and the civil war and it was genuinely just nonsense but I was so happy he was alive #I was…maybe 4th grad when this happened?#idk #I wish I could eat musubi with my dad again

I love my weird little mountain town for many reasons, but a good example is that there's a woman who walks her dog by my house every day wearing a variety of 17th century dress and bonnet garb, and I legitimately don't know if that's because she's an actor at the Shakespeare center working on a play set in that era, or if she's a reenactor at the 17th century German living history settlement/farm in town, or if she just relaxes in that style of clothing every day for the pure pleasure of it.

#because each of these options are just as likely as the next #our former city councilman would dress up as General Grant from the Civil War a lot just for personal enrichment reasons #actually our Trump-supporting town mayor got ousted over circumstances involving costumes too #she was dressed as a teapot and got into a public political altercation with a woman dressed as a cat #that was at least halloween though

"...you could never have a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!"

Okay but like. What if Thor had died? Not by fratricide, what if he'd just died? Because there's no other siblings (officially...) and even if there was if Odin wants to skip an heir he'd have to think up a reason or admit to literally centuries of lying to everyone, and it's not impossible that both Odin and Thor could die at the same time so like... they actually could have had a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard. And there doesn't seem to have been any plan to avoid that so...

#and even if it all came out the next in line's probably Cousin Whoever and if Cousin Whoever is not instantly popular his subjects are gonna #be thinking #'well okay that prince was secretly blue but he grew up here and we're used to him and most importantly he is NOT King Cousin'#'Whoever. would he be up for a violent overthrow of King Whoever do you think? let's call him up and suggest that eh?'#basically i now realise that Odin's Shit Plan potentially leads to civil war in TWO kingdoms and that's... honestly sort of impressive.#'why did he lie?' demanded loki. 'idk i think he just kind of... forgot?' answered frigga (who had also been lying but shhh...)#mcu tag i guess #thor (2011)

running through plot ideas for The Next Big Fic in a "well everyone ELSE did this ten years ago but I haven't done it yet" *shows up ten years late with Starbucks* kind of way

#morning is up after home wraps which still won't be for a while (10-20K)#the three most likely options for The Next Big Fic are #(1) SHIELDRA AU (goes AU from IM1; hydra took over shield before steve came out of the ice essentially catws in phase 1)#(2) reaches (the alternate universe from horizon which is looking like a 'thanos attacks asgard and earth in phase 1' with complications)#(3) stevenat deaging (essentially a cacw au without the actual civil war part)#outlier for either the horizon sequel (nine realms politics and asgardian family drama plus how horrifically traumatized steve is)#or the yonder sequel (removing the infinity stones from the timeline severely screws up the multiverse and now it's the avengers' problem)#(reaches was originally intended to be PART of the yonder sequel lol)#but I AM expecting to finish morning before any of that because it's only got like 4-5 chapters left #though as always: no promises #adventures in accountability

People will often say, 'If you could be with Lincoln for dinner, what would you want to ask him? What would be the unanswered question?' And I know I should be asking him, 'OK, suppose you had not been killed, how would you have dealt with the South? How would you have dealt with Reconstruction and all the controversies that arose?' But I know that if I really had him for dinner one night, I would simply ask him, 'Tell me a story, Mr. Lincoln.' Because then I would see him coming alive. He laughed so hard when he told one of his funny stories, his eyes would twinkle. And then I'd know that the Lincoln I knew -- who was somehow able in the worst days of the war to dispel the anxiety of his Cabinet members by his humor and his life-affirming sense of storytelling -- then I’d know I would have seen him alive.

-Doris Kearns Goodwin, Presidential Episode 16

This was where I had to stop the Lincoln episode at the end of my commute, and as I pulled into the parking lot I said to myself, "Wow, that's lovely." A little schmaltzy, perhaps, but I think it gets to the core of why people study history. Sure, there's the intellectual impulse to analyze and understand events with the benefit of hindsight, but deep down, the heart of historical study is a desire to connect with people. To bridge the gulf of time and space and get to know people despite the fact that they lived in a completely different century.

History's not just dry lists of dates and names and theories. It's people. It's personalities. It's quirks and memories and stories. It's knowing that a historical figure isn't just a face on a monument, or a source of information, but a guy who can tell really funny stories. And I wanted to share this quote because it really understands the humanity of history in a way I rarely see expressed.

#history is awesome #presidential talk #i had this woman's lincoln book rented on libby #cuz the library happened to have it and i thought i recognized her name from podcast ep descriptions #with no real intention of ever listening to it but now i may just have to give it a try #it's crazy how i keep thinking 'this era of history's so interesting i don't think i want to move forward in the podcast'#but then i hit the next ep and it fires me up to find out what's next #i thought the lincoln ep would be relatively boring but they take an interesting angle with it #and after all the buildup to pre-civil-war #i'm now desperate to see how they can possibly build things back up now that they finally broke apart #look at me treating american history as if it's a tv show #(of course i know the broad outlines but i'm specifically not refreshing my memory on later details to avoid 'spoilers')#anyway i didn't want to make the main point of the post about catholic things #but i do want to mention here in the tags that this approach to history #is one of the greatest proofs we have of the communion of saints #we have a drive to connect with each other despite coming from different times #we are timeless beings caught up in the flow of time #enough rambles time to post

Civil War's world is confusing. New York is regularly getting bombed by IEDs but four star hotels are open. DC is a war zone but the successionists are California and Texas. Cars are being abandoned on the side of the road but wifi is somewhat a thing. The NYT doesn't exist but there's dozens of American journalists with jobs AND INTERNS.

I understand the world doesn't immediately end during civil wars but if they wanted to tell the story of Jan 6ers vs the they/them army, why not have it set in Oregon where there are a lot of far leftist and far rightists together? With that state being really the only one that's messed up. Are Texans flying drones across Appalachia? If we can have an iron dome over Israel I feel like we could keep DC stable, much less the CULTURAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

#civil war movie #Ig we already had a civil war and the feds just beating the shit out of successionists so hard they still haven't fully recovered #isn't super provocative but likeeee #like if this happened it would be more like a larger scale Waco and not the East coast getting power outages occasionally #even if the West was going to fuck shit up WYOMING HAS NUKES KISS YOUR EAST COAST ASS GOODBYE #Handmaid's Tale had a way better geographical lore where the NE is the imperial core Texas is an independent state #with the central US being separated with no clear occupation or alliance as like a no man's land #that makes more sense than people begging for water in one scene and Kristen Stewart bathing in the next

Tag drop: Guizhong (don't mind me re-dropping this with the fixed ones, shh)

#guizhong. [ many things only seem to surface beneath the moon's poignant glow. wherever its light shines; the heart is wont to follow. ]#guizhong: ic. [ wherever her spirit may be among the countless grains of sand and specks of dust between the harbor and the mountains. ]#guizhong: countenance. [ and because they are afraid; they try so hard to become more intelligent. this i understand. ]#guizhong: introspection. [ although she did not live to see the splendid sights of today: she was as much a hero as any other. ]#guizhong: meta. [ her manuscripts lie unfinished in her abode. the blank pages give cause for contemplation on what might have been. ]#guizhong: little notes. [ she always sought to make everyone happy and one must say: she had quite the gift for it. ]#guizhong: wishes. [ it took a treasure hunt just to preserve the commandments that were once the lifeblood of a whole civilization. ]#guizhong: etc. [ we think of human life as like a lantern that's lit one minute and extinguished the next. but are we adepti so different?#guizhong: mortals. [ at their full potential; they could be her equal. a human who has as much to teach an adeptus as to learn from them. ]#guizhong: guili plains. [ as guizhong once said: “it takes every blade of grass and every flower to make a homeland.” ]#guizhong: liyue. [ perhaps she will look at the liyue of today and steal a smile when she sees the prosperous land that it has become. ]#guizhong: realm of clouds. [ a voyage to a sanguine sky. ]#guizhong: mechanical arts. [ in one's heart; i knew that she was indeed the superior talent in the mechanical arts. ]#guizhong: glaze lilies. [ they were far more abundant back then. the entire fields would appear to the eye as a veritable sea of flowers. ]#guizhong: adepti. [ until the moon set and the sun rose. and only then would the banquet finally come to an end. ]#guizhong: morax. [ whoever it was that revered her so much was very clever indeed. ]#guizhong: guili. [ with shortness of breath; i will explain the infinite. and how rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist. ] delusiona #guizhong: marchosius. [ who would dare snub the stove god and his wondrous creations? at the sight: we would all drop any argument. ]#guizhong: streetward rambler. [ it almost felt like she was back again. sitting right there on the stone stool next to me; chatting away. ]#guizhong: cloud retainer. [ we each had our ideals; and neither one of us would yield to the other. ]#guizhong: skybracer. [ to who lived by the mountain; he was their savior. they thought higher of him than they thought of the lord of geo.#guizhong: osial. [ she would disrupt the silence around them with a hum; as if to sing along to the harmony of water. was this his song? ]#guizhong: sea gazer. [ he was quite the braggart when it came to those collectibles he was so fond of; he always loved to show them off. ]#guizhong: ganyu. [ if we planted flowers in the guili plains; do you think that one day we'd be able to recreate the sea of glaze lilies? ]#guizhong: v. descension. [ she descended whose dominion was over dust; and whose reach shrouded the skies for thousands of miles around. ]#guizhong: v. guili assembly. [ it's great to have it back but i want to go back to the world. and start with guili plains. ]#guizhong: v. archon war. [ they fought upon the plains; where black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered. ]#guizhong: v. present. [ all wrapped up in a city that has existed for many moons to date. all these things: they are why people chase it. ]#guizhong: inquiries. [ hmph. she always had a way with words. ]

#still not over the insane george orwell post that got reblogged onto my dash yesterday #i unfollowed the person who reblogged it #because either A) theyre a tankie or B) their criticial thinking skills are sub-fucking-zero #like 1) the OP of that post was just copying Hakims awful video on Orwell #2) to read animal farm and come out of it with the interpretation that Orwell was saying that the animals and hence the proletariat in the #USSR were just innately unintelligent shows a reading comprehension so bad its not even like piss poor. its piss impoverished #3) if a post is like ''also look X said Y Bad Thing'' without providing any of the context as to where that quote comes from theyre likely #being deliberately mishonest. it is easy to take someone out if context to make it look like they were saying something they werent which is #exactly what the OP of that post was doing. they took one sentence of Orwells writing on the nazis and Hitler to make it look like Orwell #thought Hitler was a swell guy when actually Orwells writing was about the dangers of charismatic tyrants like Hitler and their rhetoric #the entire thing was about how Hitler was able to amass such power and popularity and use that to his advantage #not every despot is so easy to pick out as dangerous or so easy to detest. hitler was hardly the first charismatic tyrant in history #OP also conveniently left out the fact that like the next sentence is orwell being like yeah no i would fucking kill this man which wow #thats a glaring omission. imagine if people decided to look up what OP was refetencing to verify irs veracity #4) OP does not mention that Orwell fought in La Guerra Civil alongside communists and socialists and anarchists etc.#he fought against the nationalists. he took a bullet to the neck during the fight. he was very much against francisco franco and his fascist #regime who were allied with Hitler and the Nazis #mentioning orwells participation in the spanish civil war really undercuts any of those arguments #5) you know who was actually allied with Hitler and Nazi Germany? STALIN #at the beginning of WWII the soviet union and nazi germany were in alliance. stalin and hitler did not have fundamental ideological #differences. if hitler had not betrayed stalin the soviet union would not have joined the allied powers #your uwu anti-fascist communist idol joseph fucking stalin was joseph fucking stalin. he was a fascist dictator whose actions deliberately #caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. he like vladimir lenin before him did not care for the ideals of marx #marxism leninism is a meaningless political ideology #the soviet union was not a communist paradise. neither stalin not lenin cared about the proletariat #i said this in my tag ramble yesterday but if you want to see a leader who actually followed marxist ideals go look up thomas sankara #im just rambling in the tags today to get out the lingering frustration i have

I'm as sceptical of Tom Brevoort's X-Men reboot as everyone else, but can't we wait until the issues or out or we at least know who the creators are before denouncing it as a total dumpsters fire?

I get the concern. Brevoort's record at Marvel is inconsistent at best. He oversaw Hickman's FF and Avengers, Ryan North's FF, Ewing's Ultimates, Gillen and Ribić's Eternals, and events like Secret Wars and Judgement Day. He also oversaw Slott on FF, Aaron on Avengers, and events like Civil War II and Secret Empire.

But as patchy as that record is, I'm just counting my lucky stars that it wasn't Nick Lowe taking over.

#x-men #marvel #tom brevoort #fantastic four #avengers #ultimates #secret wars #judgement day #civil war ii #secret empire #i am expecting some back to basics nostalgia driven relaunch #something to lure in old and new readers alike who weren't sold on the krakoa era #which i'm sure the higher ups want when they get ready to kick off whatever the next live action film will be #but i don't think it will erase that era completely #best case for me is they keep ewing around and just leave him alone to cook #i wish they'd kept gillen as well but he's clearly done after this and moving back to creator owned stuff #not at all fussed if percy or duggan never write again #but really need a diverse team #the x-office became far too male dominated by the time fall kicked of

on a personal level, no, reading “problematic” media wont like, change your moral compass

but i do feel like maybe! we could discuss uhhhh the history of racist fiction in america and the way it’s added to the overall self mythology of america and the way white people think about and interact with Black people to this day

rather than making 500 “haha people who think fiction affects reality are so stupid” posts

#i am getting so tired of ‘oh you think fiction affects reality?? i guess you kill people if you ever read about a murderer #no bitch i just have studied american history #i’ve studied gone with the wind and fucking birth of a nation #and yes there were other areas where those narrative of the civil war were being pushed (textbooks & confederate statues & etc.)#BUT LIKE. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE WHITE SUPREMACY IS BEING ADVANCED RIGHT NOW. AND ALSO FUCKING ALWAYS.#it drives me crazy because i feel like at first ‘problematic’ was used to refer to like #racist or homophobic or sexist depictions #and now it’s been reduced to ‘oh poor baby doesnt know not to murder people unless the author says it’s bad’ like bro shut up #even aside from the historical examples #think about all the cop shows that have completely altered most people’s idea of the police away from what the actual job is #making them into action heroes (and demonizing the internal review people like. what)#increasing the perception of danger and decreasing the respect for ‘going by the book’ aka obeying rhe fucking law and respecting people’s #constitutional rights #i know i should know better than to hope for nuance on this app #but i swear the next self righteous ‘people who think fiction affects reality are so stupid’ post is getting blocked #it’s not about your personal media consumption it’s about the stories we as a society tell ourselves and each other repeatedly!#and even if you personally aren’t susceptible to those messages you should be aware of when you’re supporting them #mary emma talks
