Keeping the Score....or NOT!

In East Texas last weekend, we enjoyed playing cards with Larry and Staci. I think it was a test to see if Carl could measure up to their card-playing skills. They found out quickly (and so did I), that Carl is a pro when he schooled us on some added features of Spades! Larry was the scorekeeper. Staci and Carl teamed up; Larry and I were a team. The first night, Staci and Carl beat us big-time.…

*Throws shitty photoshop edit to the Void*

She pulls the sheet she’s kept covering the outline of the wolf and dragon off for the final time. It unsettled her before Solas explained what it was, and since then her feelings haven’t changed. Solas’ final piece is a sketch of desperation and despair. The story it tells and the reason he created it only serves to upset her. If she could wipe it off the wall she would.

But she can’t… no more than she can take Solas’ path from him.

She steps toward the mural and places her spirit hand against the plaster. She pushes against the wall and lets her concentration fall, allowing her hand to phase through. She summons veilfire, and the wall erupts in blue-green flame, radiating from her wrist. The plaster colors and cracks. Pieces of it fall away.

When she pulls back her arm, a handprint remains, cracked through the fingers and palm and wreathed in smoky flame. Her mark stands between the wolf and the dragon - between Solas and his mistakes - exactly where it should be. Solas’ final mural finally takes its place among the others - a testament to Inquisitor Lavellan and her deeds.

Good or bad, the world will see her stand before him, and history will record the rest.

Do you think Giratina noticed Cynthia in the Distortion World and saw Volo in her? Do you think she knows about him. Do you think that's why she lets you catch it instead of catching it herself 👀

i ooouh i uh i for sure at least headcanon that giratina can like psychically communicate with humans a bit cus i think we’ve seen other legendaries do that right? yeah it would be really really cool if giratina said at least something to cynthia or at least something cryptic and out of context. like hey you look somewhat familiar. that kid you’re with looks REALLY familiar. that would be amazing

…oh good, Devin, I see you spent Gotham Knights #20-21 making the racism around Dick’s adoption worse on TWO further angles.

(This set I did already know about) (I hate it here)

Ok while I attempt to forget this whole plotline, let us instead enjoy this particular panel and the hilarious suggestion that No Man’s Land was “forced cessation”.

Forced cession, you say? THAT LAND WAS NEVER CEDED. (Sorry, knee jerk habit there)

Ok time to consult Blackstone’s Commentaries as to the correct legal system and land ownership of Gotham.

If the United States did cede Gotham, who was it ceded to? The remaining inhabitants? The gangs and criminals it imprisoned inside? In that case, if it was ceded, the USA could not simply resume the land by executive order, but yet they did. Suspicious. The inhabitants have grounds to now sue the US government for stealing their clearly established connection to the land (Cobblepot (No. 2) incoming) AND for overruling the existing legal system on their illegal return (Dent v United States to adjudicate on whether any changes or charges under the NML legal system should be upheld. Legality of the Dent v Gordon trial is at stake!!)

Now can we instead call No Man’s Land ‘desert and uncultivated’ and consider whether ownership passed by settlement? No, and let’s all say “thank you Pamela Isley”, as Robinson Park demonstrably was cultivated land supporting the islands. It was not desert. The US does not have grounds to simply resettle Gotham. The existing inhabitants were civilised, despite any allegations or slurs by the US Government to the contrary when they blew the bridges.

The final consideration is whether ownership of Gotham as of 31 December 1999 was now held by the Blue Boys via right of conquest, given you can’t unilaterally uncede land and No Man’s Land did involve intra-community warfare of the local inhabitant, with the Blue Boys and the Bat holding the largest share of the land in the final days. Does the GC ex-PD hold title to Gotham by conquest and did THEY then cede the land back to the US? Also potentially Gotham held multiple overlapping contradictory legal systems given Penguin and Two-Face’s territories not observing US law. Given the compromises made by the Blue Boys could they be considered to have enacted additional local laws that now need to be distinguished from the outside US largely system? Is vigilantism now legal in Gotham?

In this essay I will…

I’m rewatching Wander Over Yonder and, say what you will about s2 (which yes, has a LOT of problems, mainly with Dominator, some aspects of Wander and Hater/their slight flanderization, and the arguably failed attempt at a serialized narrative) but it still has a lot of solid episodes in this season - with one of the ones I appreciate the most being ��The Black Cube”.

In addition to how well it balances a fairly serious story with a decent amount of good jokes (“He spent so much time working on sick burns that he never learned to swim!” asdfghjkl) and probably one of the best songs/instrumental scores of the series, I mainly just appreciate the episode for its lesson/theme - not just on how important it is to be empathetic towards people, but on how it’s OKAY to feel sad and frustrated.

How many times have you heard someone say “it’s not so bad, try to look on the bright side” or “having a positive attitude will help you feel better”? As important as it is to try and remain optimistic, sometimes the best thing you can do - both for yourself and for others - is to acknowledge that things are sucky and that it’s valid to feel sad and frustrated. To know that you’re allowed to let out your negative emotions in a healthy way AND to let others know that you’ll support them even when they “freak out”. It’s only when we properly acknowledge and accept our feelings that we’re able to start to move past them.

I can’t say it’s my absolute favorite ep, as there are other eps with either more laughs, a better story or are just more enjoyable all around, but I still can’t help but rank The Black Cube in my top 10 at the very least.

“Did not record the deed”

“Pointed his gun at a lamp behind his friend, planning to shoot it as a prank”

“____ sold the land to x. ____ turned around and sold the same land to y”

“Consented to the search”

“Does not make an objection”

“Decided to go into neighbors unlocked car to borrow something without asking”

“Did not have authorization to buy tires. The agent buys tires…”

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.

You know what, guys? You're right.

The tales of Garth's children do sound like they were the mythology from pre-Pact Reach, with the "founders" being the original gods of the region, later adapted to make them not gods but mortal heroes like so many mythologies in our world.

I mean, we have the fertility god + king of the gods + dying-and-rising god + primordial teacher (Garth), the divine twins (Harlon and Herndon), the golden apple (Rowan Gold-Tree), the little people (Children of the Forest), the trickster (Florys the Fox), the horned deity (Bors the Breaker) and more.

Heck, for all we know the original nobles were priests of a specific deity before the Pact was made and they adopted the Old Gods from the Children of the Forest. Of course, some names were forgotten like the "king of the bees" or the lover and "rich rival" from Rowan's tale.

Im actually really sad that I didn’t like Wicked that much… I just didn’t really care about any of the characters outside of Glinda and Elphaba + i wasnt a huge fan of most of the dialogue & the way the ending played out
