"information gleaned: none" is by far one of the funniest aspects of inquire/scrutinize. congratulations you've learned absolutely nothing

[taffy-glitch]

For anonymous questions:

1) Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?

2) any favorite books?

3) what genres of game do you like best?

oooohohoho

I love both..... but I am more on the cat person side. Dogs are more likely to scare me a little unfortunately

Hard to choose, if only cuz I don't do the most reading.... It may be predictable of me but. I do love The Murderbot Diaries. Though not sure if that counts since it's a series. I've also got a soft spot for some of the stuff I loved as a kid, like the Secret Series..... though I obviously haven't read it in a while. Anddddd in terms of nonfiction, I've been recommending basically everyone to read Ace by Angela Chen (or listen to the audiobook. that's what I did. Also what I did for Murderbot)

OK OK SO my top picks are basically always 1. RPGs 2. Puzzle/mystery games 3. Rhythm games. Not necessarily in that order. I love stories in games I like figuring things out (though I am not necessarily good at it) and. of course. i LOVE to jam out.

Becoming a PS2 survival horror collector is honestly much more of an investment than I thought

my terrible, terrible son.... meet nicholas glurbonym sterlington ii

in january of 2019, 16-year-old me decided to make a long furby. i was inspired to do so by @strange-aeons, so his middle name pays homage to thursday plurbonym boyporridge's naming convention (plurbonym for plaid furby, glurbonym for glamorous furby). the rest of his name is inspired by an absolutely unbearable gay diva my mom knew in high school (and trust me..... my son lives up to his namesake....)

i'd been reluctant to post him up to this point because i have zero good or even recent photos of the lad, but he is such a prominent figure in my lore that i needed to put him out there. he's the first furby i've ever owned, and back when i first made him i would use him in class projects or bring him to school and he would circulate between several friends of mine throughout the day. i was straight up known as 'the furby girl' to a good number of other students because of him. what a wild time.

anyway, as we approach his sixth birthday next month, i'm thinking of finally making him a more glamorous cloak or fixing up the terrible job i did making him in the first place lol. the snob has been deprived of attention for so long, i've gotta make it up to him somehow!!

Thoughts on the Alicent x Aegon Scene in 2x04:

Aegon realizes he has no words of wisdom and zero contributions to offer his small council and sits there, listening to his councilors make all his decisions for him. It unnerves him.

Alicent is absent from the small council yet again. Is she in Viserys’ /the King’s rooms searching for crumbs of confirmation that Viserys cared for her and her children, or is she seeking the history books so that SHE might become a more informed and wiser ruler? Has she finally accepted that they are headed to war and that she needs to sharpen her political acumen?

Her sudden interest in the histories parallels Rhaenyra in 2x02 perusing the documents available at her library. Once again, the two heads of the factions mirror each other in their quest for wisdom and their attempt to make informed decisions for the good of their side before all hell breaks loose.

Alicent is dealing with the aftermath of her abortion as is evident from her need to steady herself and her teetering walk. Has she so much become like Larys in her ambitions and disposition?

“What thoughts would you have?” Alicent speaks her mind and doesn’t hide behind words anymore. She smirks at Aegon’s naïveté. Aegon is upset for not being taken seriously just like Alicent is upset for not being in a position where she can make meaningful decisions. However, Alicent understands that to become a significant contributor she needs to cultivate her mind and further develop her political skills. This necessity eludes Aegon. It makes her laugh because he doesn't see the worth in seeking his own advancement and pressing on to maturity ever since he's been crowned King.

“I ruled in your father's absence.” Alicent recognizes that she ruled ON HER OWN when Viserys was sick. Especially now that she’s embraced the high stakes and weightiness of their position, she wants to resume a more active role in the realm’s governance: “You should humbly be seeking OUR opinions and counsel.” Alicent tells Aegon that he needs to be observant and obedient to make studied and wise decisions.

“In the hope you might become half the king your father was.” She never hoped that Aegon, with his disinterest in history and his distaste for learning, would make a good king just as Viserys wasn’t a great king. Yet, she continues, if Aegon lets the most studied minds rule in his stead, he will compensate for his incompetence, like Viserys. Being compared to his father makes Aegon, once again, feel lacking and redundant.

“You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on that throne.” Alicent wants Aegon to take on her heaviest weight on his shoulders, that of proving all her sacrifices worthwhile. She wants him to affirm her expectations of him and become that pawn that she and Otto thought would be easy to manipulate. The same pawn that she had been all these years.

“What would you have me do mother?” Aegon genuinely looks for his mother’s approval and guidance. He wants to please her and yet fails to grasp how he’s always been her political gasp for air, her passageway into a world of greater power. He doesn’t have to do anything for Alicent to achieve this.

“Nothing.” Aegon has always been dispensable. His father didn’t need an heir. His mother required an heir but now has no use for an impetuous and unruly King. The realm doesn’t need an Aegon II who speaks his mind because there will always be a member in his council who will make better decisions than him. No one has a use for his personality, his psyche, or his world, but no one has shown it before because he is the King. Alicent is the only person who dares to hit him in the face with the bitter truth: his sole existence ever since birth was to sit on that throne so that she might secure her family’s lives and her own ambitions.

Aegon, on whom his mother projects her own fears and insecurities and whose broken soul mirrors Alicent's unyoked and distorted pieces within herself, inherits Alicent's frustration with the system and the world he's born into. He responds to that condemnation the only way he knows how:

He rides Sunfyre to battle and to his—almost—death.

It's his own duty and sacrifice.

The price to pay for being born the unwanted, essential, and disposable Targaryen King, all at the same time.

Alan Turing & Will Byers: How Will's Happy Ending is Foreshadowed by His "Historical Heroes" Project...

Wait, I just realized that the Alan Turing reference goes deeper than just Will's admiration for a gay historical figure by basically juxtaposing against Will's likely trajectory in S5 to show that he will have a happy ending!

I mean, I've basically had zero doubts that Will will be surviving S5 since S4 came out. It just makes no sense for what his character has been building up to; in fact, this post by our resident lawyer goes into detail about how the Duffer brothers have been setting up a happy ending for Will since S1. Specifically, his conversation with Joyce in S3 where he says he's "not going to fall in love", and then the Duffers' own admission that Will is going to come into his own as a hero and a protector after four seasons of being the protected one of the friend group.

But I never realized how Alan Turing's legacy has been juxtaposed against Will's heroic setup in S4.

So if you somehow don't know the tragic story of Alan Turing's life yet, he significantly expediated the British Enigma code-breaking efforts during World War II with his machine the Bombe and went on to help create the modern computer in his post-war career, only to be arrested and chemically c*strated for being gay by the British government. He died soon afterwards via ingested cyanide.

Will gives his historical heroes presentation on Turing in S4, clearly understanding the persecution that Turing faced in his life and relating it to his own sense of alienation.

This, to me, feeds right back into his own (understandably) pessimistic views about his likelihood of having love/a relationship in S3.

Here's this accomplished, intelligent, selfless, heroic gay man who was condemned by his own country after helping to save it from the brink of collapse. This is likely how Will views himself; that, if it ever came down to it, he'd probably have to sacrifice his own life to save his world and never even receive any love or recognition for it. It makes a lot of sense that Will would gravitate to the tragedy of Turing's life, especially given the fact that he was ready to sacrifice himself for the good of humanity in S2.

But it also shows exactly why Will needs a happy ending. If there's one thing that Stranger Things excels at, it's breaking the mold; we see this in Nancy's unconventional relationship, Lukas and Max's interracial coupling, Steve's redemption (and likely lack of partnership by S5), Rovickie's romance, El being the unlikely hero of Hawkins.

Everything points to the fact that Will will be rewarded for his bravery and heroism, and get his happy ending with his boyfriend after saving the world. Will is not going to be another Alan Turing. He can have it all, which is everything that Will deserves.
