#or generalissimo

@becdecorbin Saw this caricature that I had saved on my phone for quite a while.

I think we both know what it reminds us of.

252 years ago, on a quiet Sunday, a boy was born, not in a fashionable 18th-century château but within the sombre walls of a fortress.

La Durbelière, with its moss-covered stones and silent moat, held the boy's first cries within its weathered 15th-century walls. This was a place of solid stone and ancient oaks, where the winds carried the scent of earth and the songs of the Poitevin countryside. This was a place where the laughter of the boy, his siblings and peasant children from the parish echoed alongside the thundering of hooves. This was a place where he grew wild and free, tracing paths through the tall grass and dreaming beneath the sheltering branches of trees that had seen so much.

This was a place where the boy would come to love his region and his people so deeply, so completely, that just 21 years later, he would give his life to protect them and everything they stood for.

the issue with the trolley problem has always been the lack of personal investment, which is how utilitarians like it. for some reason many people looove to imagine themselves "making tough decisions" (aka sacrificing hordes of innocents), as if that proves their moral superiority or something? it's very easy to push the big red button on countless faceless strangers. here's one for you. you wake up tied to a trolley track. you see on the other rail, which the trolley is heading toward, one hundred people also tied up. luckily, you're holding the button that will divert the trolley back to you. now what do you do?

of course, a lot of people will lie and say "i would sacrifice myself" but in action i guarantee that 99% of self professed utilitarians would not actually do so. not so easy to push that big red button when you're getting ground under the wheels, right?

Mom gave me Aperol/Campari once, and I haven't been able to get over it.

It's SO nasty, is like chewing tylenol

what is THE worst thing you've ever drank. all liquids acceptable. please tell me what it was, bonus points for why

[generalissimomayhem]

Idk why, but I feel these three must be related.

[generalissimomayhem]

I knew it could happen on inside buildings and houses because that's a bit obvious.

But on the outside? Nah, that sounds demonic.

do people who live in countries that don't have snow know about the snow silence? When you get a nice big dumping of fresh snow and you step outside into an infinitely harshly contrasted world and there's no sound because the snow absorbs it all? I believe it fits the traditional use of terrific both wonderful and incredible but also causing a great terror.

More PbP RPG OCs for a friend of mine.

Tried a few different things with the lighting and composition.

Hello and thank you for the ask!!

If I were to pick, I think the star and the rose best describe my guy Perilius!

(This is a small doodle I made on the spot. I promise he is not always naked haha)

Why it reminds me of them:

He is the Generalissimo of Meillandria. The star reminds me of his military role and the rose reminds me of how I named Meillandria after Meilland roses (papa meilland specifically. If he was clothed + colored you'd see the dark red)

Random fact about them:

He might be one of the most powerful people in the empire of Meillandria, but he's still squeamish with his food. He'll go out of his way to get a burger with no pickles.

[generalissimomayhem]

These two are (almost) the same to me stg

Well...

it's been more than a month since I, and all of us on the planet, have been bodily transported to the living hell of Trumpworld. I can't say that I'm used to it, since I doubt I ever will be, nor can I call this "the new normal," since it's anything but normal. Nonetheless, it is reality and I guess I'm finally recognizing that my utter revulsion with everyone and everything associated with it is just going to be the stuff of my daily life, not that I want to be a pessimist, forever...or at least fairly likely for whatever the duration of my life might be. Those of you not in the United States and who don't follow American news any more closely than you have to are probably blessedly unaware of the horrors being inflicted by the repugnant, crude, ignorant, vile, corrupt racist, sexist, utterly demented and severely ego-damaged emperor wannabe on those of us who currently have the misfortune of living under the regime of that sadly twisted freak and his co-monster, Elon Musk. I'll spare you a running list of the horrible, sociopathological things they're doing, all in the interest of further enriching themselves while at the same time destroying what little there ever was of a social safety net in this country and making the United States' already rapacious capitalism into such a virulent, unregulated form of an already outdated and destructive economic system that it will boggle the minds of even the most parasitic corporate parasites. All this is by way of saying that I guess I recognize what reality is and I'm not gonna change it one iota by only posting anti-fascist imagery. So, maybe I'll make an attempt to get back to something that's at least a little closer to my usual old posts, at least until one of the actions of His Imperial Highness, Generalissimo, Field Marshall, Dear Leader, Duce, President-for-Life and Defender of the Cult, Trump I, and his co-emperor, Elon the Barf-Inducing sets me off again. But that'll be tomorrow, because I've already exhausted myself just thinking about this catastrophe.

In our top story tonight: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

(I'm not attacking GRRM here. He's said not to expect it's done until he tells us it's done. This is just the media being shitty and forcing headlines.)

[generalissimomayhem]

As a catholic raised person (now a hardened agnostic), to me will always be WILD, when catholics get called out for idolatry and being called "worshippers" when you have shite like this happening in protestant churches (specially evangelical churches):

One of my favorite things about the difference between Protestant denominations and Catholicism is that Protestants made their whole thing being So Fucking Boring(tm) and normal that if you were raised around Protestants with little to no connection to the Catholic Church when you find out about all the saints and rituals and bones and shit it genuinely comes off as a little like...pagan isn't the right word exactly but you know what I mean? Like for my entire life good Christians sat on folding chairs in a beige basement eating shitty donuts from Albertsons and told me liking Pokemon and Halloween made me a sinner and then I go to see an old Catholic church and there's just like. A fucking ancient corpse in the room?? That everyone is praying over??? Like????? And THIS is actually the religion all the "Pokemon normalizes devil worship" guys originally came from several hundred years ago??????

It's wild okay. It's just wild.

You sometimes see 'Shogun' translated as 'Generalissimo' in popular English-language texts (mostly older ones, granted). And like, not even considering how accurate that is, in this day and age I just wonder if there are actually that many mono-lingual English speakers who know the meaning of generalissimo but not shogun.
