So I was just watching old the x factor videos from the last season that I followed (2014) anyways I was a huge Stereo Kicks fan (& also liked Only the Young) and since I was watching their first perfomance together, a recomendetion apeared called best boy band perfomances in the x factor and I got curious bc I follow a couple of them and thought they we're all underrated (except 1D of course)

And I was like mad bc why have I never heard from Unwritten Rule & United Vibe like... Unwritten Rule was so good and being honest I think they got robbed on that finale, like the girls were good too but they were better

But then OH MY GOD

NOW WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD ABOUT RAK-SU

HELLO?

The clip that was on the video was their audition

So I googled them and of course they won but WHY havent I seen or heard anything from them, like they're the first and only boyband to win the x factor and they did so by perfoming sick ass original songs like

HELLO???? WHY ARENT YOU HYPING THIS GUYS MORE WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM

anyways Ive been obsessed w them, listening their songs on repeat since yesterday

Today at Finnish facts, this is for all the writers in the crowd! Love you so much: Here are my favourite Finnish pet names (in alphabetical order)

Aarre = Treasure Halinalle = Huggy bear (Care bear) Kullanmuru = Golden crumb (sweetie) Kullannuppu = Gold nugget (Golden bud) Kulta = Gold (Precious) Kultaseni = My little gold Kultsi = Gold (slang for Kulta) Murmeli = Marmot (cute) Muru = Crumb (sugar, sweet) Rakas/Armas = Beloved Rakkaani = My love (beloved) Raksu = Love (slang for Rakas) Pupu = Bunny (cute) Söpö = Cutie Sulo = Beautiful, graceful Also, to anyone curious, Finns don't usually say "I love you," (Minä rakastan sinua), we say "Rakastan sinua," ((I) love you) or "Olet rakas," (You are loved (by me)) because in Finnish the conjugation of the verb tells the subject❤️

Hope this helps!

Anyways I turned my laptop on for this exact purpose.

Lets talk about the time Martha Wells explicitly advocates for eugenics!!!!

Yes you're getting all the surrounding paragraphs too.

Please fucking take careful note: The character being reffered to here as "it" and "the kethel" does not fucking use it/its pronouns. They're being refered to as an it to degrade them.

We literally do not know what pronouns they actually use, because Martha Wells cannot stand the idea of characters ever asking eachother that kind of question, even when she's going out of her way to have the protagonist switch between using he/him or it/its for the person depending on how violently he wants to murder them at the moment!!!!

We literally never even get to learn what this character's actual name is because they're never treated enough like a person for anyone to ask. Their people are the ones eugenics is being proposed against.

Bramble snarled at the unfairness of it. “That’s not our fault.”

“It is not your fault. But it is certainly due to the Fell’s lack of understanding of Raksura,” Delin said. He looked down the deck toward the kethel, who had moved up to the mid portion of the wind-ship. It sat back against the cabin wall with its head tilted up and its eyes closed, apparently enjoying the sun. “Do the Fell practice controlled breeding, as the Raksura do?”

That got Rorra’s and Kalam’s startled attention. Rorra said, “The Raksura do what?”

Delin explained, “When Arbora mate in order to breed, it is only with a great deal of consideration of their lineages and what traits they wish the offspring to have, and if they wish to produce Arbora or warriors. They try to anticipate what the court will require anywhere from twenty to forty turns in the future, since maturity rates for Arbora and Aeriat are different. There are no clutches created without careful planning.”

“He’s right,” Niran said with a sigh. “The teachers talked a great deal about their bloodlines and prospective clutches when I was there. In exhaustive detail.”

Moon had never thought of it in those terms, but he knew that was what Raksuran courts did. Indigo Cloud was breeding for survival, Opal Night breeding for war.

Chime said, sourly, “Sometimes it doesn’t work out the way you plan, no matter how well you’ve taken everything into account.”

Bramble nodded in resignation. “We ended up with way too many Arbora for a while, and not enough warriors.” She looked up at Moon. “Or consorts.” After a moment, she added hesitantly, keeping her voice low, “I know you weren’t serious when you said—”

“I was serious,” Moon told her. “If you want.” He couldn’t remember if Bramble was one of the Arbora who had said she meant to try for a clutch later this turn. “If you don’t want a clutch—”

“I do.” Bramble bounced happily and squeezed his arm.

Rorra was saying slowly, “I’m still not sure I understand—” Kalam looked baffled and dismayed.

Delin smiled. “Sex that is not for procreation is a different matter, and done only to please the participants.”

Niran added, “That matches what I observed.” Rorra and Kalam turned to stare at him. Niran kept his expression carefully blank.

Moon said, “I don’t understand.” Chime, drawing breath to speak, broke off to stare at him in astonishment. Moon said impatiently, “No, I understand all that, but I don’t understand what it has to do with the Fell.”

“Oh, right.” Chime turned to Delin. “I’m not sure if the Fell plan their breeding like we do. I don’t think anyone knows. We know the progenitors breed with the rulers, but the dakti and kethel aren’t fertile. Or at least that’s what the mentors have always believed.” He frowned. “If the Fell don’t exchange rulers between flights . . . No, they must, or it wouldn’t work. I guess we could ask our kethel.”

Niran grimaced. “I’m not sure I want to be there when you do. Grandfather, what are you getting at?”

Delin said, “So the Fell’s controlled breeding, if they practice it at all, would be a simple affair. Whereas a Raksuran court’s controlled breeding is an elaborate weaving, all the threads considered and carefully placed by both the queens and the Arbora, with new thread judiciously spun from other courts as needed.”

Bramble stirred and said, “That would be a lovely drawing, if you knew more about weaving.”

“I’ve seen weaving done,” Delin protested to her. He made a gesture toward Shade, who leaned on the rail, listening with an expression almost as confused as Moon’s. “Fell and Raksura are two different species who share the same common ancestor. Yet Raksura are experts at breeding for beneficial traits, for the good of the whole court.” He shrugged. “If the Raksura had a way to manipulate the breeding of the Fell by some trickery, to add new bloodlines, they could turn the rulers and the progenitors into something else, more like the Fellborn queen, or like Shade. They could allow the kethel and dakti independent thought and let them develop naturally. Left to their own devices, the kethel and dakti might become more like the Arbora, able to provide and create, with no need to steal and destroy other species. No need to kill and consume each other in times when no other prey is available, or when the progenitor wishes to reduce their number. They would be ruled not by a progenitor with absolute control, but a being more like a Raksuran queen or consort, for whom the welfare of each member of the flight is of primary importance.”

Then Shade hissed in startled fury. Moon snapped around to look, shifting in mid-motion.

Kethel stood beside the cabin, having approached in total silence. It stared at Delin, its gaze fixed but lacking the predatory glint that would have sent Moon for its throat. It said, “How? How would this be done?”

Everyone had tensed. In his peripheral vision, Moon saw Kalam touch the belt of the fire weapon slung across his back, as if making certain it was still there. Rorra put both hands on the deck, ready to shove herself upright. Niran carefully didn’t look toward Diar, who stood in the steering cabin and had just picked up the fire weapon stored there. Shade had shifted and coiled himself around the railing, ready to strike.

Then Moon spotted Stone atop the steering cabin, sitting just at its edge.

Moon didn’t think the kethel meant to attack, but it was a relief to see Stone nearby.

Delin was the only one who seemed undisturbed. Watching the kethel thoughtfully, he said, “I cannot say. It is only a theory. And would of course require the cooperation of many Fell.”

Kethel took this in, its large brow furrowing, apparently oblivious to the reaction it had caused. It said, “But not progenitors.” Moon wasn’t sure what was stranger, that it had been so excited by the prospect or that it appeared to be getting depressed as it considered the more practical aspects of it.

Delin lifted his brows. “You think there is no progenitor who would cooperate?”

“No.” It shook its head slowly, reluctantly dismissing the idea. It looked around at all of them finally. Then it said defensively, “We changed. And it was better for kethel and dakti.”

And we're also just acting like the Fell only go out of their way to terrorize and eat senitnet people because they have no choice, as though this planet isn't completely overrunn with nonsentient prey animals of all shapes and sizes everywhere you look.

We're supposed to cheer when Delin, the most beloeved, wisest character in the whole series, suggests the Raksura start enacting literal eugenics on the Fell to make them stop being the inherently evil flying orcs. And while this is happening they're also fucking downplaying and justifying their crimes against sentient life by pretending they just have no choice but to eat people like they couldn't just take five steps through any fucking forest and find prey animals enough to feed everyone for years.

These are the same Evil Black Flying Orcs™ who can only become good if a literal child who has some Good Moral Raksuran Genes™ teaches them to have morals.

God damn it can't watch s2 of TOH without the finnish dub just popping into my brain... RAKSU BATAATTI

My brain finds this absolutely hilarious

[k2rbesv6is]

mäletad see talv

kui tulin Tapalt

nägite mind linnas trammis

selle väikse poisiga

siis oli Teele paksus vammis

seletab mu naabripoiss

ise tundes veidi häbi

öeldud kommentaari üle

nüüd Teelega ta vist ei lävi

kommentaariks aga oli

oled läinud paksuks

rong jõudnud aga rõõmsalt Rakke

ja poiss ja Teele ikka raksus
