#not sure where to put that in the ID

[disasterhimbo]

[ID 1: a twitter thread by MedKits101 (@MedKits101) dated August 22, 2024. It says,

“re ‘leftists are gonna cost Harris the election’: If a politician recognizes that a voting bloc is significant enough to potentially cost them an election, and fully ignores their demands and then loses, that's kinda on that politician, no? That person is just bad at their job.

“Like, regardless of their personal convictions on the matter, if a republican chose to ignore single issue abortion voters, who make up a huge chunk of their base, and then lost, most people would correctly call that politician an idiot for not at least lying to placate them.

“You don't get to say leftist are a powerful enough force to cost you the contest while also simultaneously ignoring them and/or telling them to ‘grow up.’ You win votes by making concessions to voters. If you fail to do that, then you have failed at being a viable candidate.

“You can criticize leftists for their tactics on the matter, and for not holding their nose and voting because trump would be worse, those are fair things to call attention to. But to place the blame for a Harris failure at their feet, rather than at the feet of the campaign who fails to court them, knowing the potential costs, is simply foolish. That's not how politics works in the US, it's never worked that way.

“You win peoples votes by telling them you'll do things they want. Even if you're just lying, you still make the gesture. Failure to do that is a failure of the party and candidate, full stop.”

ID 2: tumblr tags that say, “Americans are so fucking bad at electoralism. Threatening to cost politicians elections if they don’t do what you want is [all caps] the point of a fucking election!”

End IDs.]

Hello, Spamton!

How's life? Also, do you have any opinions on the Addisons? (Pink, blue, orange, and yellow)

If so, what do you think of them?

On that mark about 'Behave'...

Raven possible, I know not her anger and words, but...

'You fucking dog!' as she's moving to cut down an enemy.

How would that go 😊

Price is gone HDJSJDHSH that man will be staring at her in mild surprise before he excuses himself to fix something between his legs HDHDHS

Great question about her anger, *cracks knuckles* yap below

See the way I write Raven is she’s someone who rarely gives in to anger, part of it is the training she’s got and the tolerance she built up for things that would piss most people off (ya standard operative/soldier stuff). It’s not that she doesn’t feel the anger though, she does, often in full force, but she’s better at compartmentalized it, shoving it into a box and slamming it into the back of her head where it can’t interfere with her focus.

But the thing about that kind of control is that it doesn’t make the anger go away. It builds and builds, and when the right (or unfortunate) situation or person pushes her too far, that box will break.

It starts small, changes in her body language that is almost hard to describe but not impossible to miss, like her eyes turning sharper and cold. There’s no shouting, no dramatic screaming, just this….heavy, ice-cold intensity that kinda makes you go “ah shit I fucked up”

The next is if she gives a verbal warning, you’re basically 80% fucked. It’s quiet but it’s packed with weight. A few words, just baaaarely restrained, enough to put the fear of God into anyone who was stupid enough to cross her.

When she’s fully snapped, her anger isn’t chaotic, it’s quite the opposite. Somehow it’s precise and sharp, because when she was brooding before she breaks she was already calculating “a few” ways to “deal” with the unfortunate dickhead. She was just waiting for an excuse to do it. She’ll aim for damage, not ending, she’ll make sure they regret everything with whatever pain she inflicted which will carry on for days, depending on how fucked the person is.

“You fucking dog”

yeah, I can picture her spewing that in a way like she’s smacking a mosquito away like a nuisance.

Can’t really blame Price for going bonkers since this is Raven that is well, Raven, and it’s as feral as it is controlled. A primal instinct? To be proud and mesmerized by the sheer display of force that is usually contained. There’s just this glint in her eyes that really makes Price goes “damn that’s my wife” XD

Raven: *obliterates someone for speaking ill of Price*

Price: well mark me down as scared and horny-

Okay actually but what colour are Fizz's fingers. I want to say they're naturally black and he puts something on it, because in Oops, when he gets a new arm it has black fingers as opposed to the white fingers on the other side.

He wakes up with black hands,

and spends most of the day with white fingers.

For some reason, though, while singing, his fingers go black for one shot.

Earlier, in Ozzie's, his hands are pure black, but the knuckles are pink.

(The rings around his arms go in and out in this episode, but some of it might just be perspective.)

Well, at least mostly -- there's exactly one shot where his fingers are coloured differently, and it's right after he and Asmodeus but into the song.

In this shot, at least, it seems to be mainly for contrast, which makes total sense.

In Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special, though?

His fingers are all over the place.

It starts with the standard of his fingers all black, which I'm guessing is the standard for him.

Throughout the competition, they mostly stay that way, save for the pie competition, which seems to be a whole costume so I can give it a pass.

But then...Two Minutes Notice.

It starts off with Fizz in black, as seems to be standard for him.

Once he starts tearing his clothes off, though, they seem to...change.

Then he sings his fun song, and at the end of the first verse, we get this shot,

which immediately transitions into this shot.

This one is just particularly egregious because of the juxtaposition. It's the same thing from different angles, and it just has me transfixed.

It's mostly white fingers for the rest of the scene, with a few exceptions,

but it's mostly white fingers for the rest of the episode.

In the new trailer, he seems to have gone back to black full-time.

This isn't even bothering to get into his scarring, which seems to change with every appearance, but at least that I understand. That's splotches around a place we don't normally see, but the thing is, the fingers could have an in-universe explanation beyond simple animation errors. Like he probably does have both arms as options or something, I could buy that! But what is happening.

My paired down list of spirit work and death magic. (Obviously this is what works for me and I'm kind of a picky person when I aquire written work)

Physical Media:

Cunning Words: A Grimoire of Tales and Magic by Marshall WSL (This one I pre-ordered and haven't gotten through the whole text but it's a good read. It incorporates the art of story telling with distinct spells and magic. I think it's very unique but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want something with flavor)

Riding the Bones by the three little sisters (this one is an anthology of particular practices from different walks of life pertaining to death and transition. I've only read a few of the stories but for what it's worth I think its good insight)

Botanical Curses and Poisons by Fez Inkwright (I only list this because it's always good to know what's good and bad for you. Know what can kill you and you can probably avoid it)

The Bones Fall in A Spiral by Mortellus (again I've mentioned this before but I think this is a good work for someone getting into the field and needs someone that's direct and experienced in what they do. One of my favorites.

Consorting with Spirits by Jason Miller (I feel like this is a staple of the craft and while I personally don't connect with the material it works and it has some good points)

Metamorphosis by Ovid (I think it's always necessary to deal with primary texts. Go with the classics. Ovid has a beautiful way of writing and you get to really understand the stories and myths that spirits of the dead living etc are connected to and if you do any deity work I highly recommend it.)

Of Blood and Bone by Kate Freuler (I have mixed views on this one. some of the stuff is informative and it provides some good spells, but it lacks transparency and depth. I find Mortellus book far more student minded.)

The complete language of flowers by S. Theresa Dietz (if you work with the dead, deities, spirits or hey plant spirits. Chances are you've come across Victorian flower language. I use this book as a reference guide for symbolism/folklore/ and as a way to connecting with spirits)

Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes (hey no library is complete without an encyclopedia. I personally like this one because it's very indepth without being too overwhelming. Not sure where to go? Just pick up this book and you can do more indepth research later. It's what it's there for. Reference guides are one of my favorites.)

Okay that's it for my physical media.

I also have a list of digital copies I keep.

Morbid Magic by Tomàs Prower (I think if you buy any book from this collection buy this one. It gives you an over all guide of most death practices around the world)

Historical:

Death, Dissection and the Destitute by Ruth Richardson

The Work of the Dead by Thomas W. Laqueur.

(I list these because they are a good source guide to how we treated the dead and spirits in the past. It's always important we learn from those that came before us.)

Greek Customs: (if you're going to do any type of work with Greek chthonic deities I suggest these three articles/books. I'm not saying its mandatory but these are very helpful guides to understanding ancient thought and how to bring them into today.)

Burial Customs, The Afterlife and the Pollution of Death in ancient Greece by Francois Pieter Retief and Louise Cilliers (free on research gate)

Underworld Gods in Ancient Greek Religion Death and Reciprocity by Ellie Mackin Roberts

Inner Purity and Pollution in Greek Religion Volume 1 by Andrej Petrovic and Ivana Petrovic (this one's my personal favorite)

[laauranenn]

no hate but what's the appeal of suosaku ship ? Why is it the most popular ship on ao3 and on Twitter their fanarts have many likes...😬

I just don't understand why is it popular and loved in the fandom when most suo character panels are about him being protective and caring towards nirei . Sakura and suo barely have meaningful dynamic!

I don't actually know why they're so popular! I'm not the biggest suosaku shipper myself. They're cute, but not my first choice.

If I were to guess, it could be something about how Suo teases Sakura? Maybe? But if I'm honest, I don't fully see it either!

I don't know if I'd exactly say that they don't have a meaningful dynamic, but Suo definitely has been helping keep Nirei out of trouble! Though I think that also kind of includes Sakura in the few fights I can think of? Suo helps by covering for Nirei, so Sakura can fight freely.

But then again, that's more about them as a trio rather than individual relationships..

As for popularity? I think that's just how fandoms work. Suosaku just was the ship that hit it off, I guess! I was also a little surprised at its popularity! Can't say much about the Twitter fanart since I don't use Twitter., But that could also be a case of popular artists liking the ship and it gaining popularity that way!

(Total guess though, I'm not on Twitter at all, I avoid it even.)

I was more surprised by Togame and Sakura being paired together, to be honest. I see Choji and Togame as a pair rather than Togame and Sakura!

I just rewatched moonknight and your audios are literally the only thing keeping me alive in that somewhat dead fandom THANK YOU 😭😭🙏

accidentally thought about the perception of IBS in our current culture and got so angry. like idk maybe it's better than the zero i heard about the condition growing up (despite suffering with it since before I can remember) but the whole ibs as a meme Thing where its like this thing hot people have that makes u shit urself a bit after coffee on an empty stomach is not iitttt. This stuff was disabling to me my whole childhood + into adulthood. I was in pain and discomfort everyday. I avoided social events because of it. especially anything overnight. The condition itself combined w how my parents tried to treat it are some of the biggest reasons I have a fucked uo relationship to food. I literally NEVER told any of my friends about it until it was already (relatively) under control. And it was never diagnosed even tho I was taken to the doctor about it multiple times including as a really little kid. what the fuck. I genuinely think back on the physical symptoms I used to experience daily and the mental toll it took on me, and the way I associated my body with like. dirt and poor hygeine. and idk how I managed. it was (and still is) so damaging and it was relentless. and if i talk now about like my dietary restrictions or whatever so many people will just be like 'oh lol all the lactose intolerant people I know still drink milk'

guess what I've been fixating on

[designernishiki]

kiryu sitting haruka down for a really important talk and looking nervous but deeply serious about it and when he finally speaks he gives an honest and vulnerable admission that upon much self reflection, as unlikely as it may seem, as shocking as it may come, he is, in fact, gay, and he hopes this doesn’t make her feel any distress or discomfort in-part due to the implication that he likely didn’t have romantic feelings for her mom, he did care very very much for her regardless of labels, and so on and so on. and she lets him give this lengthy emotional confession that goes on for like twenty minutes before he finally goes dead silent anxiously anticipating her response. and she’s just like. uncle kaz I really appreciate you opening up to me like this and I’m really proud of you for accepting yourself for who you are. but me and every other kid at morning glory figured this out like 10 years ago
