Um actually I have something more to say about Kabru and Mithrun’s similarities and relationship.

I think a lot abt how it’s shown a few times how elven culture relies heavily on non-natural ways of doing things, and it’s interesting especially how like our main cast repeats multiple times the three steps to living a long and healthy life. Meanwhile the canaries, the elves, don’t necessarily recognize that stuff as important as it is. I think specifically of the example of Mithrun explaining to Kabru that he has to have medication or a spell otherwise he can’t sleep, to which Kabru tucks him in and gives him a massage which knocks him out cold. His dependency on other methods to fight off insomnia were kinda just in his head, he hadn’t tried anything else. I mean prior to joining the canaries he was fully restrained 90% of the time so ofc a servant would just come in and place a spell for him to sleep every night. And he was like that for years. And then Cithis just replaced all his caretaker servants, then it became her job to make sure he took a pill or listened to her bells every night. I think there’s something there about how there’s a list of stuff Mithrun wasn’t allowed to be around and when he gets separated from the canaries he encounters all of that since Kabru doesn’t know to “protect” Mithrun or restrain him so severely. And it’s interesting because Mithrun doesn’t even seem to have issues with the things, like ofc top on the list was he wasn’t supposed to see goats or sheep. One of the first things he and Kabru eat is barometz. Its something to me that Kabru, who has also suffered so much, takes Mithrun into this dungeon and he has to face head on what’s been bothering him, he has to look his trauma in the eyes. And eat it. He cannot move on until he sees it, understands it, and finally starts talking about himself (“the last desire I had left wasn’t revenge, I wanted the demon to finish me off” “I was scraps left on the plate […] I guess vegetable scraps have their uses too”)

It just seems to me like a more vague and overarching way we see the elven cultural mindset hold him back from properly healing, I don’t think Kabru knew what he was doing at all but the fact of the matter is no one was filtering Mithrun’s view of the world anymore. And while Mithrun believed that didn’t matter to him, nothing mattered, it still made a difference. He was still on the path to moving on, and properly healing, even though he didn’t quite recognize that.

im not pleased today with the results of the votes to the european parliament in my home country, czechia, but im feeling hopeful as there's been a big rise of seats for the socdems and for the left, as well as the greens.

i couldn't vote this weekend as im still 17 but i think it's amazing we didn't have to pick between the lesser evils anymore, i feel a bright future ahead and hoping for more european countries to follow.

don't give up on voting, it's the most we can do at the moment, it's not futile.

stay informed and inform those around you.

[ask-shane]

Hey, Shane! I am going through an extremely difficult period of my life right now, and there is not (and never has been) a person who could cheer me up. For this reason, I have a strong desire to support someone who is cooking in the same pot of shit as me. Therefore... I wish you to cope with all your problems, and I believe that you will succeed. You're much cooler than you think you are. I am very sorry that I am not able to physically help you for real, but just know that there are those in this world who are ready to support you. Everyone in this world deserves love and understanding (yes, yes, you deserve it 100 percent) Mentally I send you all my inner warmth that I have left... heh. (Sorry for lousy English, it's not my native language) p.s Look what a cool chicken!!

hey… that all means more than you think. looks like we're both not thriving right now, but if it means anything to you, i think you've got a heart of gold. the world needs more people like you. stay strong and take care of yourself, alright? i'll be thinking about ya.

and thanks for the chicken. i’ll hug it later for you.

This blog is so funny, thank you for running it! I hope it doesn't impact your mental health too badly to be directly seeking out posts like the ones you find, though I imagine having the humor to deal with it helps. I'm not Jewish yet, but I am a conversion student, and the amount of awfulness I've seen from people I thought were my friends... man. I've seen some of the posts on this blog out in the wild and it's so much better to see them here where they're being laughed at. (I know that I'm not really one of the people they're targeting, not yet - but I can't help feeling kinship with the tribe and that extends to this as well, and it also makes me wonder if they'll really care that I haven't been through the mikvah yet when they make their attacks, so... yeah. I appreciate it.)

NO BINGO! squares found!

I saw this trend on TikTok where "It's not just a girl harmonizing with her fan..." And then I suddenly thought of Thena😭

It's not just a girl harmonizing with her fan. It's the sound of the air on Gilgamesh's funeral, all silence, them watching Thena, if she's gonna get triggered now that his presence is gone, now that she couldn't feel him.

It's not just a girl harmonizing with her fan. It's Thena standing on the riving, holding Gilgamesh's remain one last time.

It's not just a girl harmonizing with her fan. It's Thena immediately believing that it's Gilgamesh's she's talking but it's Kro, the way she smiled hearing his voice and giving her hand out for him.

It's not just a girl harmonizing with her fan. It's Thena walking out of the cave after she killed the creature who killed her protector, her heart, her love.

It's not just a girl harmonizing with her fan. It's Thena seeing the world fall apart as a new celestial merges and she's ready to be gone, to start over and to be with Gilgamesh again.

I swear that scene when she walked out of the cave, the way she closed her eyes, I knew that she accepted the fact that they cannot win. But she's ready to be taken and to die because she knows she will be with Gilgamesh again on another planet.

Okay no but this take is exquisite.

It's the way Thena sits with Gilgamesh in the forest, spooked by the newness, the strange smells and sounds. And he sits with her, assures her that of course she is the Thena they still know.

It's how Thena shouts for Ikaris despite their contention because Gilgamesh is hurt, and she doesn't know what else to do. She smiles at him and says "hey" because that's what they do. She holds his hand, and only once he's gone do her tears start to take over, dragging her head down to his chest.

Thena watching the fire blaze for his funeral pyre in an event none of them are every truly prepared for: the death of their own. She holds his remains preciously, cradles them to her. And all the while she has this look on her face, blank and haunted.

Did the others worry about her state of mind. Did they watch her drag herself to shore, dress soaking and her feet dragging on the shore pebbles. Did they see the look on her face and step aside, afraid to do anything else?

She smiles so freely when that thing says "Thena, it's me, Gilgamesh". she smiles and tilts her head and holds her hand out. And she remains in that daze until he strokes her cheek. Her eyes clear because that touch isn't right. It's not the same, it's not his, it's not him. And she knows it. She hears him say to remember, because Gil is still in there, fighting from the inside to protect her even now.

Thena knowing they have lost but accepting that her war is one (an amazing take). She closes her eyes and accepts her fate because she can be with her Gilgamesh again. Because they would do this again, on any planet. And when that is not what happens, she honours his last wishes: she remembers.

i get 'random checked' (definitely not random) at TSA every time and i know the only reason is so they can scrutinize my IN THE PACKAGE insulin and insulin delivery methods, once making me miss a flight and once trying to discard MY FUCKING INSULIN PEN. it's so ridiculous :( wishing us all the strength and ease we need for travelling forever ♡

that's so awful ugh. ableds like to treat us as a monkey in the circus they can ask to clap on command. i have been to the US only once and i'm pretty sure what the TSA does should be counted as sexual harassment

[asexualconfessions]

Hi, I'm sorry for my English, I'm not native.

I'm an asexual trans guy. I'm stricly ace, most of the time I'm indifferent concerning sex (like I don't want it but I'm not repulsed) and sometimes I'm repulsed but it's rare. And I don't have a libido at all.

And I'm afraid to take T because I'm afraid it will have an effect on my hornyness (is that a word ?) and I really really don't want that...

And I feel a little bit guilty to think that...

I would like to share the tale of the Gay Incident I had recently where when I told someone that I’d never been kissed before they said that they were going to bring their black lipstick the next time we hung out and I have not known peace since

"no longer will you remain unkissed - not on my watch. get KISSED. silly 🙄"

Girls don’t want to work. Girls want to write the most incomprehensible fic, filled with obscure metaphors and symbolism that make sense only if you’re their author.
