Flashy Reps

[human-taxidermy]

Hi! Here to say I’m glad to see your addition to my post! I added one myself but I think it got buried somehow. It was essentially hitting the nuance button and saying “it’s never okay to glorify actual medical abuse, and if you want to involve a character in zany experiments you should write it into the story that they consent.” I think it’s a topic with a lot of weight to it and many people get into really iffy territory really quickly, because they forget about the abuse against people in mental hospitals being like. A real thing and not invented for the Joker. If an artist reclaims a straitjacket-y design and recycles it to give their character freedom, or if the situation is consensual, like someone choosing to opt into some mad science, it’s a lot less gross, but just like anything that gets into human experiment territory, we have to remember to be respectful of the fact that real people have had their lives ruined by actual medical abuse. Sorry to yap! I’m just glad to find another mad science enjoyer who understands that this is a sensitive topic and we should put a proper amount of thought into what we romanticize.

Hallo and no it's okay to yap I love yap!

And yeah I totally agree with you. If your wanna create a mental illy oc or mad scientist character in general you don't have to make them hateful and deeply against humanity which is something I see alot in horror movies and ocs,they always create scientists like "human centipede" which is why you can see people gross out when other person talk about mad scientist DUE TO BAD MOVIE REPS

And even in kids movie I need see alot of sick mentally ill characters that actually have good REPS it's just straight up basic stuff

do you/ people in your circle do reps?

I do not. I know a girl who does but it’s a weird story, her husband once casually told my dad that he’s sick of how much she spends, so whenever she buys something, he replaces it with an exact rep without her knowledge and sells the original. He has a full dealer system figured out as well. But apart from her I can’t really think of anyone who does. The thing is, getting found out would be quite socially awkward - people would talk and share about it. In my circles, no one and their mother would take that chance and are not inclined towards it because why not just buy the real thing if you can?

.T.B.o.t.W. the enemy entry analysis

As always constructive feedback is welcome.

"On one side are the Great Houses, who might be considered the truely conservative forces of creation, occupying a position outside of normal time and attempting to maintain the status quo which has existed since the beginning of the Spiral Politics itself. But on the other side… who?". Elsewhere in the book were are told that: 1.The two sides oppose each other due to their very natures. 2.The Enemy is associated with Los from William Blake's mythology, the embodiement of human creativity and inspiration that opposes Urizen the embodiement of reason and law. 3.The Eye of Harmony which maintains the history meta framework is the enemy's prime target. It's fair to assume that the enemy opposes the Timelord's imposition of their history metaframework which it sees, (possibly to varying degrees for different reasons) as limiting. It's also stated that merely disabling the eye of Harmony supposedly leads to the destruction of all linear domains, (and thus cultures) that would mean that the reps as a whole were suicidialy devoted which doesn't come up anywhere else.

"expecting everyone to take the meaning as read". Possibly Timelord arrogance, (though partially justified given they defended the universe from at least Yssgaroth and the Racnoss albeit as the Book notes not entirely out of humanitarian reasons) but could also be valid if the destruction of all linear domains is the effect of the enemy's victory.

"Faraway Declaration, (only 35 years before the beginning of the War)". From their, (and the now presently linked posthumanity's) perspective the Timelords had 35 years to prepare. 35 years between The Faraway Declaration and Dronid/Destruction of Gallifrey 3, (Romana's).

"The enemy isn't a single species or even a distinct political faction". "though it has a leader, or at least a, "head" or, "founder" to focus on the leader would be pointless. The enemy is a process". Suggests that the enemy consists of two parts: a founder who became the coordinating leadership and the reps. It is pointless to focus on the leadership for the same reason that it's name is inadequate because it is the combination of the two parts together that makes it a threatening rival power not just the leadership alone, (however some references to the enemy seem to refer soley to the leadership). The process of opposing the Timelord's, "rule" of time and the imposition of history to varying degrees and different reasons.

"nor is it because the enemy has wiped it's name from history altogether, although that does seem like a viable war tactic". Suggests that the enemy's abilities include tempo-psychological warfare, (presumably with the Reps destroying any physical artifacts and computer records they came across while the leadership edited or erased records by some unknown possible innate method such as it did to Devonire's Kaiwair, "recording").

"To fully understand the nature of the enemy, it's vital to understand the context of it wich it exists. See also the: Churchill Index, Immaculata Formosii, the Gods of the ainu, Miss Hiroshima, Mohandassa, Sixth Wave Defections, S'tanim, and Violent Unknown Events". The missing entries by their nature and that they either directly relate to: the enemy, (ie: The Gods of the Ainu and S'tanim) and or their possible capabilities, (ie: Violent Unknown Events, Mohandassa, and Sixth Wave Defections).

I can't help but think I'm overlooking something obvious here.

Rey during Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in a nutshell.

I did like the idea of Palpatine having a secret heir, but it really shouldn’t have been Rey. Because it was a missed opportunity for Rey to be the first SW hero with 0 relation to past heroes. And it contradicts the series’ entire premise that anyone could use the Force.

Enjoy!

i wake up thirsty and i think of palestine. i go to the doctor’s office and i think of palestine. a sign in the corner of the waiting room says ‘this is a place of healing, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated’ and i think of palestine. they probably weren’t thinking of bombs and snipers and mass graves in parking lots. i call my parents and i think of palestine. i drive to the grocery store and i think of palestine. i look at the clear blue sky and i think of palestine. i put the dishes away and i think of palestine. i feed my cat and i think of palestine. i listen to music and i think of palestine. i read poetry and i think of palestine. i text my friends and i think of palestine. i think of palestine and i think of palestine and i think of palestine

People never seem to want to hang out at animal habitats. If they can’t see something immediately, they just leave. If you’re patient enough to stay, sometimes incredibly magical experiences happen. Like this one.

Those are California condors. Biggest wingspan in North America, incredibly endangered, and the only species with approval from USDA for emergency use of the poultry avian flu vaccine.

Towards the end of the day, once things got quiet, I sat down near where one was foraging and just hung out. Then… they noticed me.

I can only upload one video so I’m going with the one where I was showing them my glasses, since they kept trying to peck at my shoelaces and fingers and I wondered what else they'd be interested in.

They stayed there with me for at least five minutes, given the duration of video I took. Just chilling, watching me, interacting a little. It was just us - nobody else approached. Until eventually they chose to go do their own thing, and I sat there in awe for a while.

It’s worth it to wait, when you can.
