#being a skeptical practitioner of whatever kind of mysticism is always weird bc both the Woos and Materialists get mad at you for saying#''it's not magic''#or rather that magic isn't mystical#the woos get mad at you for poking holes in their magical thinking and the materialists get mad at you for#what i can only imagine is ''doing stupid shit for no reason'' from their perspective#like if you're doing it they at least want you to believe in it lol#the commonality here being that both sides seem to be of the opinion that “magic” and science are not only necessarily separate#but necessarily opposed#and this i feel is a false dichotomy especially when for most of himan history these two things have been two sides of the same coin#the spiritual and the material and the magical are all just different ingredients in the soup of human experience#you can imho play with and use belief as a tool and something that can be....taken on and off like a hat#depending on which soup ingredient you are dealing with on that particular day#like i don't believe in astrology but when i am engaging with and learning about astrology i absolutely believe in astrology#it's make believe. it's play. you hold the idea as real and you let it go again once you're in a context where it's no longer useful.#i get why this approach is frustrating i just think it's one of the only ways#you can remain open to all these different facets of experience

As my following grows and as I meet more and more people who have rats, had rats, know someone who has/had rats, and love rats...
increasingly I wonder if/when a day will come... a day that I'll express rat enjoyment to someone and they'll enthusiastically ask me if I've heard of This Funnie Little Rodent Blog they like, figuring I may already know it or will enjoy it if not...
and it's.. my blog... and then I have to come out as popular Rat Tumblr blogger that they follow and now know IRL.......
#/lh#I'm saying this like it's some big deal but I'm just exaggerating for comedic effect adjfgsbkdfj#no idea what the likelihood on that looks like. based on statistics of people estimating statistics? probably likelier than we all think#anyway that time I posted a survey for a university research project here and you all wound up comprising 2/3 of our sample was so funny#I had to actually say in an academic research paper that one possible flaw in our study#was bias that may result from 2/3 the sample having come from a niche and extremely specific demographic of people#due to the fact that they flocked in from One Of The Researchers' Substantial Online Following Centered Around A Particular Theme#And Selected Specifically To Have Only A Certain Kind Of Person On It Via Boundaries And Blocking#literally you all made up 98/150 respondents (but that's assuming all digital responses were from y'all-- we had 52 paper responses)#ah but the research symposium was the best. in the paper I was able to remain that generic about it#but at the research symposium. well it's a glorified science fair. so participants have their own stations set up and observers tour them#as the participants speak to their audience; directly providing a summary and then answering any questions#some of the audience/observers are faculty and most are fellow students#so real scholarly scientific types yeah? so they had questions. thoughtful questions#long story short I confessed to numerous listeners throughout the day that the sample's bizarre gender ratio is probably my fault#around 57% women; 21% nonbinary adults; 17% men-- an unusual proportion#so I had to academically tell my professors... underclassmen..... my classmates....... acquaintances.... foes..........#... that I'm big famous in Rat#and it was so. djkjSBCJXHQKRIGAJFSHF

The scene where Jo vehemently refuses to go and bother Aunt Meg and the crew starts chanting "Food...Food! FOOD!"
I really do believe that if nothing else Severen would be charmed by and thrive around their near-constant vibe of chaos
#More Twisterverse thoughts floating around up there in the ole noggin#“WOW look at this group of misfits running around the backroads of Oklahoma it'd be a real shame if I ✨changed the course of their lives✨”#It's a 2 for 1 deal he gets Jo AND acquires some really weird stepkids he gets to be a bad influence on#Coming at Bill like: “No fuck you they're mine now! Finder's fuckin' keepers! 😡”#but be real if Severen rocked up with one turned person Jesse would be pissed#let alone NINE of the most unserious motherfuckers ever AND they chase tornadoes for vibes and science???#Jesse's kicking Severen out of the family for that one 😔#Into the Twisterverse

Any future that doesn't involve Radek & Rodney together, makes no sense to me.
And I don't mean romantically, ship who you want to ship this is about finding someone who totally gets you. Someone who not only handles your BS, calls you out on it, but can understand and match your level of intelligence.
Someone who can add to it.
I mean, being a genius is an integral part of Rodney's personality, and finding a person who can truly follow along with that brain of his is harder than winning the lottery. (Rodney would even do the math.)
Absolutely no way Rodney's going to let that go, at least not for long. I believe if he did, it would be a noticeable hole in his life, and once he noticed why the hole is there (let's be honest, he may not realize it at first,) he'd be bringing Radek back into his orbit immediately.
He'd pretend it wasn't his idea. But it wouldn't matter.
Radek would know.
#Sam is def as or more intelligent than Rodney#But she doesn't get him#Not the way Radek does#most people don't#He doesn't need to dumb things down for Radek and in many cases even explain himself at all#just imagine how relieving that must be for someone like him#he already gets annoyed by stupidity#and yeah they have their bickering and competitiveness about them#let's be real though#bickering and competitiveness is just a part of the package deal when it comes to Rodney#But it is also important when it comes to furthering science - collaboration warrants discourse#Rodney could be nicer about it#but Radek just brushes it off#tells him he's wrong#or makes it very obvious he's annoyed#VERY obvious#he knows Rodney needs that#he's well versed in Rodney#he knows he has flaws#so does Radek#don't we all?#and despite Rodney's flaws he has accepted him for who he really is#I love that about him#especially since Rodney is not used to that#which is why I am so happy they found each other#twotalestalks#sga#stargate atlantis#radek zelenka#rodney mckay

youtube
Can't add the exact timestamp (it's at the end) but they just??? Jump off screen???? Do they not die???
My general consensus with this fight is that it's just extra content and... in-between canonicity. They don't show up in the credits (in a scene) regardless if you kill them or not, and the pupils are alive(?) or possibly some other ones are alive as they could just look similar/be reused sprites
long speculation under the cut
Fitzroy is lore for sure which contradicts some of the implications about trancending that we get but like. Royal is kind of a dumbass AND is being told all of this from mother/one concern. There's multiple implications of the "ancestors" (both isi and Him followers) coming from somewhere else/resetting the planet and leaving instructions/tech for their respective people to use. Fitzroy seems to fit in the between stage before the concern has studied the tech, but AFTER the Ancestors arrived/reset the planet. In The Tower and the Bastion there are images of famous earth landmarks (taj mahal, new York, pyramids I think) implying that some sort of Earth was destroyed/minerals drained (more connections to the themes about environmentalism) and that humanity was "reset". RIGHT BUT CANONICITY. Fitzroy is more lore... If u want him to be. The true past of humanity is still foggy ESPECIALLY with conflicting views from Him followers and the Isi. The concern claims to have longer records of history, and has aforementioned images, but they shape it to their beliefs and leave out certain parts intentionally as well as only educate people deemed more faithful (concern staff) and censor/mysticize parts for the common folk and ESPECIALLY city one residents. Cough cough 'merica haha but not really I doubt he was thinking about Americans specifically. This is more likely a commentary on religion specifically they larger ones and how they shape societies views and history! (Remember when we used B.C?) I'm not going to say this is an effective commentary or a scathing remark on Christianity (I believe that Christianity is used as a reference as it's the poster child to westerners for what "religion" is. He probably intended for this to be about religion as a whole but like. Come on. It's definitely Christianity with a few changes to make it a "generic religion" especially with the focus on punishment and ascension to a "good place". They also use sin/sinners a few times but that may be for familiarity especially since he had a whole npc for explaining terminology) that aside. Canonicity. Again. The history behind the Starworm followers vs the Isi is intentionally left a mystery! Fitzroy and Leticia are real as fuck (if u think they're canon) and provide some ideas for what actually happened in history but who knows! I should get back to my conversation I got distracted haha.
#text that should be about royal#iconoclasts#lore speculation#mothers corners#Youtube#long post#analysis#(?)#also feel free to reply my ideas are very foundational especially on the religion part :-P but I have a lot of thoughts on xtianity#Being seen as “what religion is”. Especially when not every culture uses the “good place bad place” idea#Or the nobility of suffering Or Or the focus on punishment and atonement#I do think elro is telling the truth with what they teach the lower class so I may use him as a point of reference in the future#He's also a really funny and interesting character. I also completely understand why people don't like him#I'm sorry for not having other examples but he is literally Walter fucking white#Oh my God for Halloween I should draw him in that costume. I have an old sketch of him as reanimator actually#I'm too shy to show it tho hehe... Also the only connection is “science” and “crazy syringe!”#Also by calling him funny I mean his actions are. I like how he gives up on his religion immediately...#Definitely only because it affected him personally (penance) but he probably wasn't that devout#If a follower anyways. Especially with Robin helping out. “Lol it won't get me!” >Wife and daughter die#A lot of his actions are absolutely caused by grief and I really like how he's written. I like the themes of grief!#He's absolutely an asshole tho ESPECIALLY to mina actually honestly to any woman in his life#Teegan get with a real man. Fuck that guy. Also counting grey as a woman in this instance. Woman in a lesbian way not as a gender#Teegan is the only person who survived elro besides robin#themes#Teegan has her shit TOGETHER. I saw her and Gustavo talking in the credits I hope they become good friends :-)#robin survived elro and like he won't try to protect/control her anymore but... God...#elro#(mentioned) (also I might talk about him in the future I really like how iconoclasts deals w grief)

After spending some brain cells that I'll never get back, I've finally nailed down my character type: the “dumb” ones that people write off as comedic relief, but have tons of depth to them if you just... glance at them for more than a second.
#Galo's 'dumb' and claims to be such; but works on advanced machinery and studies historical aspects that bring him interest#and is able to recite them without so much as a stutter. He knows how to use whatever without much instruction and knows whenever he can or#can't handle something. He knows when to stop; and knows when to tell someone else to; too.#Kanji is 'dumb' but knows how to crochet / knit / etc.; and is quick to think up an answer [he was the first person to suggest#the group put on their glasses in the real world once the fog appeared].#Chie is 'dumb' but knows the names of several moves and studies them accordingly; not sitting down until she gets them perfect. She also ha#a lot of emotional maturity that shows up in dire times.#Kaito is 'dumb' but knows a lot about science and of course the stars; the galaxy. Although Shuichi tends to lead the trial he does come up#with some proposals here and then that actually hold a surprising amount of evidence toward them being accurate and/or close to it.#BLAH BLAH BLAH I'll zip it now! I'll reply to DMs in a bit; goodnight folks.#ooc.#Thank you for dealing with my ramblings. <3

Every day I mourn the fact that none of my family and friends give a single shit abt oni lore, I don't wanna keep repeating shit I've already said before on here but every now and then I just remember the horrors™ and nearly explode not being able to scream abt it again
#rat rambles#oni posting#just everytime I think abt olivia's 1500 cycle onwards logs I want to start biting things#shes soooo fucked up and tragic and she doesnt get any closure and she never will and I LOVE it#I fucking love her so much she rewired my brain so hard shes like one of The blorbos of all time#damn you klei you rly know how to make characters that destroy me beyond repair (hi carter twins)#I still find it fun imagining olivia and jackie interacting with the dont starve cast even if they wouldn't like most of them#I have lightly changed my mind on one dynamic tho#I still think that jackie would be stressed out by all the kiddos and would at least dislike them. but.#I do think she could end up kind of getting along with walter#like look at me. she was probably just like him as a kid. she would hate him for it but they could also talk for hours.#hed start sharing fun facts abt his bug collection and jackie would start lecturing him abt ants or whatever and hed think shes so cool#I think olivia still wouldn't like him tho but that's purely because hed probably stress her out#same with the rest of the kiddos I think if you put webber in the room with the two of them theyd both have a breakdown#not because hes a spider solely because hes a little boy who probably just asked them if he can have icecream#and wendy and abby would just be a situation of them not knowing how to talk to kids let alone depressed kids#oh and theyd probably also be stressed out by wurt for basic they dont know how to deal with kids reasons#rly the two would just hang out with wickerbottom and no one else if they could help it#except wanda they'd bother her non stop to the point shed start avoiding them lol#you see Im sure plenty of the cast wouldnt like olivia and jackie either because of just how much they wouldn't take magic as an answer#not that theyd be like no that cant be real cause thatd be magic theyd more likely start sciencing out the mechanics of all the magic stuff#in practical terms while also refusing to call it magic#and worst of all knowing them theyd probably get results because fuck man they brute forced their way into time travel (sort of) so why not#so itd just be maxwell being soooo pissed as the two somehow manage to replicate his spells without the codex#dont let them meet wagstaff then itd rly be jover

while i am also put off by the insistence to at all times use the most inflammatory, insulting, and condescending language towards anybody who disagrees with their fringe beliefs, the primary reason i just cannot engage with T/ERF bullshit even for the sake of trying to break down why they believe the things they do is the utter and complete lack of unbiased sources. seriously, every single time its like, transwomenareevil.com and every article is talking about a crime some random trans woman committed using the most libelous language possible. they legitimately read like a list of crimes read out before a mob before someone is shot in the head. no statistics, not even unbiased analysis of anecdotal examples, the vast majority of scientific articles they do attempt to cite, usually regarding medical transition, are meta analysis that do not actually support their claims if you, yknow, fucking read them (as always its 'more data needed'). it's all based on kneejerk disgust reactions or fear stemming from personal trauma. not the kind of thing im inclined to humor as a basis for how i want to conduct my life or what laws i want passed. and the entire time they're all convinced they're the only real feminists and the rest of us are idiots who have never heard of systematic oppression before.
#like where is the harm reduction where is the utilitarianism...#its all like one hypothetical person could be hypothetically hurt#lets go hurt a lot of very real people over it instead#i will humor a lot of opinions i think are genuinely stupid. antivax prolife antisemitic bullshit etc etc#kinda have to living where i do#and without fail people are usually just misinformed.#with t/erf stuff though? its like they're deliberately choosing to ignore actual science#i don't know how to engage w these people#its always the most bad faith reading of whatever you say followed by a bunch of bad sources you have to individually pick apart#i think its kinda the result of them thinking their beliefs are about intellectual superiority vs moral#which is what i usually deal with#bc people concerned with moral superiority will generally listen to facts and arguments presented#ppl who wanna feel super smart will not#and theres also a false dichotomy of like#be a r/dfem or be an MRA that i dislike#like nah im just an intersectional feminist#bc im trans and jewish and any other form of feminism usually ends up hurting me or my people#even Marxist feminism even tho i generally like it has some flaws in how it tends to handle religious women

I hate it when a book is fascinating and I have to stop reading to do things like being a reasonable adult who work 🙄
#misc#I'm reading the dark forest#second book of the remembrance of earth's past trilogy by liu cixin#and it's crazyyyyyyyyy#it's so much better than the first one#i mean i loved the first one but the real suspense only start once you know what's gonna happen#and it's such an interesting way to narrate something that is in fact one of the main trope of sci-fi#but instead of having the thing happening and dealing with the aftermath#you have the whole humanity getting ready and evolving precisely cause they know what's gonna happen#sorry don't want to say what is the thing in case somebody wants to read the three body problem#and it's worth all the complicated science stuff honestly#only downside of this book is that it is written... by a man#and it shows#and i want to punch the hell out of Luo Ji lmfao#but the story is so good#i really live for anticipation#must be why i don't watch any tv shows anymore with their drop all season#it killed what i love most about story#waiting and internally screaming w#anyway this trilogy so far is really good#from where i am#if i had to resume I'd say it's a timeless scifi plot with a totally unconditional way to approach it#the write like a man is worth being ignored (or like tried)#also the writer is chinese#and sometimes i can see how the approach of some stuff would have been different if it was written by an American author#anyway gotta cook#more reading before bed

Love atheist communities that hate Christianity but reproduce every single issue Christianity has right down to the racism, wild misogyny, and of all fuckin things evangelizing atheism by sending religious people rude ass 'gotcha' type reactionary content to like idk, recruit people to atheism the way Certian Brands of Christian recruit literally anyone to their religion.
Like yes this atheism is what I see a lot of white men participating in, but like how dense do you have to be to only ditch the GOD part of religion and nothing else while claiming you're intellectually superior to religious folks like a great many incredibly talented and smart people in various sciences weren't religious?
#winters ramblings#its so funny that the so called 'skeptic' communities on youtube and reddit claimed ti be SOOOOO skeptical of things#but never took a fuckin second to check their misogyny or racism and badically applied shite christian values to everything they do#but think they arent doing that because they openly denounce god. like bestie youre doing ALL the same shit i have a problem with#in teligious spaces except you have the balls to claim youre inherently smarter and more intellectual#which is why youre SO SMART you cant figure out how to be a halfway decent human being#like its so funny when i see athiests like this around where it feels like religion is the only thing they felt held them back#and not in the ways PoC queer people and women deal with- THEIR athiesm is usually rooted in#'christians told me i was black because i have the curse of ham and thats fucking racist as shit' or some other discrimination event#plus your average religious truama and in my case just a lack of desire to participate in religion and also no belief in it#but then you have white dudes whove never had a real problem in their life doing all the same shit as them Nasty Christians they rail on#without a H I N T of the irony while also wondering why it is that their spaces seem so... homogeneous lmao#almost like women PoC and queer people know all you did was reject the GOD bit not any of the underlying discrimination tendencies#no need for them to unpack that i guess because theyre Very Smart Skeptics they dont seem to think#that they believe just as much dumb shit as any religious or non religious folks out there except theyre insufferable about it#also the nonsense of science being inherently opposed to religion like tell me you know nothing about the history of science#without saying you have NO IDEA what youre talking about. so much science was trying to understand gods creations#science and god arent diametrically opposed to each other and in fact went hand in hand for a long time#not as much any more but ill bet a huge number of scientists are still religious because being smart#doesnt mean youre an athiest like HELLO youre not smarter than anyone for not believing in god#the same way you arent smarter or better FOR believing in god lmao

Girlie has never read the Bible if she legitimately believes this lol. Like babe did you forget that part of the Fall/Curse is that childbirth is painful? Like the Bible is very explicit about childbirth being painful. Like this might legitimately be the worst possible thing to claim God made painless. Every other painful physical process is just like oh common sense would mean you would know it's painful so we won't directly talk about the pain, except childbirth which God specifically is like guys this is going to hurt.
#real tho like my christian profs were talking about how science is used to help deal with the effects of the fall#and the example they gave is epidurals for childbirth helping with the pain. like christian scholars are going yeah childbirth#is painful as all hell unless you've got medical assistance. i legitimately dont know where this is coming from.#3 explanations: 1) she is a troll and is trying to get people to yell at her online for whatever reason#2) she has never actually read the bible but only listened to other people talk about their views on christianity and whatnot#and thus has formed completely incorrect beliefs about the bible that is purely just like stuff people say on facebook.#3) she HAS read the bible and is NOT a troll but believes in a heresy that claims all of the fall is undone if you believe in Jesus#you know that cs lewis quote about how Jesus was either liar lunatic or lord? well she's troll ignorant or heretic#another heresy she could be into is that the curse of painful childbirth is just for like eve or non christian women? like as punishment for#eating the fruit? but again that's a heresy (any theology that specifically punishes women for the fall is gonna be heretical tbh)
