hii, do you know where can I download the documentary in good quality? I can’t find a link anywhere and YouTube wouldn’t let me download it above 720p :/

Honestly, i screenrecorded it, none of my usual sites were giving me a hd version, and since it was in 4k on youtube i was taking it personally and ended up just recording, so i don't know where you could download it, sorry.

But if anyone out there managed to download it and wants to share how you did it, please tell me.

This is a very random question, but do you have any idea what shipping costs for figures looks like on amiami’s website? I have only ordered a plushie from there, and the note about expensive shipping on the Junao and Karna figures scares me. Especially since the Karna one says it has to be shipped separately for some reason.

I'm not really sure, in all honestly. Most of my other figures I bought off amazon (dont do this) or second hand from suruguya so I don't really have experience knowing what a normal shipping price is. I think Karna has to ship separately because of the size and shape of his cape though, if you were wondering about that.

Looking at the Gilgamesh figure also made by the same company that costs about the same as the Karna one that was also sold on Amiami though, I think we can assume that the shipping would be about the same as that. Although it doesnt actually indicate how much that is unless i start to check it out and i really dont want to do that TAT

if anyone does know though feel free to chime in

I'm not really sure on this one tbh. The concept of increased supernatural activity during Samhain is of course Irish, as is the concept of a magical mist or cloaks hiding supernatural beings.

But I believe the idea of there being a worldwide veil between this world and the other is a modern perception which I don't think is exclusively irish, faint memories in the back of brain tell me this was a victorian conception but I'll need to try and find a source on that.

To give a bit of context to what we're on about I will quote Morgan Daimlers book on Manannán Mac Lir:

"Féth Fíadha – Possibly the same thing as Manannán’s magical cloak [see below] but in a more general sense. Understood to be either a magical mist or else a magical cloak or garment that disguises both the Tuatha De Danann and some druids from mortal sight. Manannán taught the féth fíadha to the Tuatha De Danann when they retreated into the sidhe so that they could pass unseen when they travelled in the mortal world. Some sources would seem to make this a tangible, wearable object, for example, in stories like the Altram Tige Dá Medar we see a person’s ability to be concealed by the Féth Fíadha failing when a garment described as a veil is lost. In other cases, however, the Féth Fíadha is clearly described as a spoken charm or prayer, such as we see in Saint Patrick’s lorica. MacKillop compares it directly to the ceó druídechta, the druid’s fog and suggests the name means ‘lord’s fog’ from féth, fog or mist, and fíada, lord or master (MacKillop, 1998)."

The féth fiadha seems to more often be a concealment done on a personal or local level to get them through our world rather than a world or country spanning semi permeable membrane. While the veil and thinning of the veil would be a pretty common thing to say in the modern supernatural lexicon, the relationship this has with the individual veils of irish myth are not known to me. Though I do think this is a valid reading of what we know of the Féth fiadha but not the only one.

In my personal opinion I don't think using veils between whatever dimensions you believe in your personal cosmology is harmful in of itself. To conceive of an "astral" realm separated from this one by a semi permeable membrane, I feel is valid and relatively harmless with no real issuss of appropriation. What I think op is touching on though is that when this veil in your cosmology suddenly is effected by irish festival days like Samhain then ya that's a whole can of worms of implications, most of which aren't great.

So in short no not really. I will have to do some research to try and find where this english language concept of the "the veil" is from.

EDIT: From what I have researched the term seems to have been brought into popular use on celtiic spheres by Alwyn D. Rees and his brother. The framing of their work suggests that their intended use was at best pan-celtic.

friendly reminder that the whole of Samhain is an Irish concept but especially the "thinning of the veil" is also a strictly Irish concept. not celtic, not new age, not wiccan. the veil itself was called Féth Fíada which iirc translates to "mist knower" or "mist possessor". it was the famous mist that the Tuatha Dé Danann used to conceal themselves from human eyes. the veil isn't just the barrier between the "physical and astral planes", it's the barrier between the physical world and specifically the Irish supernatural world.

Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”

Headcanon: Chilchuck and his Bad Takes on Literature

i think chilchuck would be like my mom in the sense that he wouldnt like sad stories. dont get me wrong, cautionary tales? absolutely fine. they serve a purpose to him which is to tell people "dont be an idiot and do this or else something bad will happen"

generally sad or angsty stories though? no point to him, and in his perspective its really confusing how people just read things that make them sad. like whats the use of reading something if its just gonna make you sad. whats the lesson? its not even real so it doesnt help anyone.

whats the point in making yourself cry when you could just avoid that entirely by not reading it at all?

but the one of the biggest reasons why sad stories exist is to let you release all the built up grief in you. to send you something to let out all your emotions in a healthy way. catharsis. empathy.

even when i dont relate to the tragic experiences in some stories, several ones ive read have lead me to realize that im in a bad situation or that im following in the footsteps of the character suffering. its like a wake up call.

and making yourself cry isnt inherently a bad thing. if crying allows you to let go of building pressure and tension in you then thats good!

but chil wouldnt see that. of course he wouldnt, hes avoidant of most situations that would allow him to release emotion, and fearful of letting his mature (read: repressed) persona slip.

hes someone that runs away to quick comforts and distractions at the earliest sign of issue. hes already been in too many horrifying situations, dealing with another is a pain. and he knows denying everything and refusing to look at the situation doesnt help, but it definitely provides a quick and easy happiness in the comfort of ignorance.

because of this, reading something made to make one empathize with and confront these bad emotions is defeating the point of his cowering. if he faces his issues, even if only through the perspective of a story, he'd have to deal with acknowledging that things are bad and need fixing, and he'd feel terrible and guilty in the moment - which of course is the worst thing that could happen to a person (his thought, not mine).

which is why i find the concept of him being/becoming a tragedy himself at the same time as this headcanon soooo interesting. imagine the irony of him bashing on the protagonists of tragic stories for acting on emotion and impulse rather than logic, when he himself has fallen victim to irrational thinking while in grief.

cause... thats what people do when they grieve. they lash out, make bad decisions, ruin themselves, ruin others.

for a tragedy to be prevented, the protagonists would have to change fundamental parts of themselves, and act perfectly rational when under extreme stress. and chilchuck holds himself to these kinds of unrealistic standards because he unwittingly believes he can handle it all.

he cant, obviously. we see it for ourselves in his relationship with his wife. they were doomed from the beginning by chils already-established avoidance and lack of emotional vulnerabiltiy (and whatever else his wife had going on).

this is all just to say that if you told him about orpheus and eurydice, he'd probably be one of those idiots trying to point out the "plot hole" that he couldve "just not looked back" and "just trusted her"

i dont understand. whats the point in reading tragedies? the protagonist is stupid, anyways. why would you take bitter medicine? why subject yourself to that?

i think its just a bad story.

God i need more movie robotnik angst! Like my man is prime angst material and theres just not enough for him!

Need him to be sobbing, and crying, and haveing a mental breakdown.

Especially when it involves stone, since it forces him to let his walls down, and bear his soul to the other man wether he likes it or not. Which could really offer some interesting developments in their relationship.

I can see movie eggman being very antsy after he has a mental break down infront of stone, since he's primarily waiting for the other to either take advantage of him or leave him. Since thats probobly what he's experienced in relationships up till now (with the whole trust issues thing.)

Infact, i'd say he gets so antsy that he becomes a self fulfilling profocy. Being so pent up, and not beliveing stone has anything but maliciouse intent twards him now, he lashes out at the other. Saying some real horrible shit in an attempt to push him away before stone can hurt him.

He ends up secretly regretting it after the fact. He tries to convince himself that its better this way, or that he doesn't care, or that he likes hurting the other, in attempt to cover up that guilt, but he knows deep down that its just not true. Even so, that doesnt stop him from returning back to old habbits to cope with being in a very unframiliar situation: aka him being a dick. Maybe not directly to stone this time, but by avoiding him. He isn't really angry at stone, more so angry at himself, but he doesnt have the emotional intelligence to recognize that. So he tries to put up walls. In his mind hes gotten far to attached to stone and needs to cut the other man out before he has a one up over him, or uses robotniks emotions against him. But robotnik just cant do it. He cant force himself to get rid of stone, he cant force himself to just fire the man, because stone is the only person who takes care of robotnik.

Now, robotnik doesnt think that stone genuinlly cares for him, he doesnt think anyone is capable of that, but stone does give him attention. Attention, that he despretly seeks and searches for. Infact, stone has probobly cared for robotnik, more than anyone else before. Which isnt a high bar, since robotnik isn't exactly a likeable person, but its still a very big thing for a robotnnik. Because in his whole life, stone is one of the very few people who has cared about him somewhat, and managed to stick around him for this long without gwtting tired of his bulshit. And as someone who has been longing and desperate for attention their entire life, who craves it, robotnik just cant give stone up. Regardless of if stone huets him or not, because he doesn't think he'll find anyone else who will care for him as much as stone does.

Of course, he never acknowledges this, because to him, saying that he needs the agent on such a deep level is admitting to being weak. Since he's supposed to be untouchable (and perfect.) And he much less has enough emotional intelligence to understand this, so he puts up walls instead, in the hopes that stone will do it for him. That stone, just like everyone else, will get sick of his bullshit and leave. (He doesnt really want this in reality. But because he's in such an unframilar situation, hes resorting back to old habbits and lashing out to feel more incontrol. Because theres nothing robotnik hates more, than not being in control, because in his mind, if hes not incontrol then he's going to get hurt.)

Thankfully for robotnik though, stone is crazy and refuses to leave. He might have before robotnik had the mental breakdown, since he didnt belive the doctor genuinlly cared about him before then, but after the mental breakdown, he knows that the doctor cares about him more than he's letting on. So he refuses to leave, because he knows somethings up with the doctor, and he's not going until its fixed. Careing more about robotniks wellbeing than his own, (regardless of how unhealthy it is.)

This confuses to robotnik till no end, and sets his mind down another spiral. Because normally, your mean to people and they leave, but stone isn't doing that...... why? Thats the part that catches robotnik up the most: the why. In robotniks mind, he's an asshole, he knows he is, he plays into it sometimes, and thusly he thinks nobody can care about him. That because he's a horrible person, and because, in his mind, he'll never be anything but one, its simply impossible for anyone to care, much less love him. So he doesnt think stone is capable of loveing him. Which begs the question of why stone is staying.

If stone doesn't love him, and has every reason to leave him right now outside of the pay, why stay? Does he want revenge? Does he have a card up his sleeve? Is he trying to take robotnik down? Is that why he's been more nosey lately?

All of those are questions floating in robotniks head. His trust issues takeing his anxiety twards the issue and going wild. Which naturally sends robotnik down a paranoid spyral.

All of this, culminates in another argument. Stone demanding to know whats wrong, and robotnik eventually slipping up in the moment, and admiting that he thinks stone hates him, and is trying to sabatouge him.

The agent vehemently goes against this motion, claiming he would never tries that, and that he doesn't hate robotnik. Of course, due to his trust issues, robotnik doesnt buy it. Combating this with the "facts" he has gathered thus far. Asking why stone would stay with him otherwise if it wasn't to gain something.

Another thing the agent opposes, stuttering over his words to avoid saying the obviouse, but just enough to hopefully convince robotnik when he says he cares. Though robotnik keeps pushing back, still not buyinh it.

And exaughsted, stone just screams out rhe truth in the hopes that it will get through the others thick skull. Admiting that he loves robotnik, and thats why he stays, because he cares about him dammit!

This leaves robotnik floored, he doesn't belive it at first, can't fathom the thought of someone actually being in love with someone like him outside of what he can give them (relationships arw transactional in his mind,) but hes putting up a lot less ressistancdñe than before. And while he doesnt want ot admit it, logically speaking, it would explain t a lot of things.

Eventually robotnik does something slightly emotionally intelligent for once in his damn life, and asks for a moment, (he doesnt say its to prosess his emotions, but its deffinetly implied,) and he asks stone to leave.

This obviously leaves the other anxiouse, wondering if he did something wrong in admiting his feelings, but he complies. Thr two on their own to process everything..

They end up haveing a conversation about it later once they've calmed down, (something stone had to initiate,) and it ends up being productive! The two of them planning a path forward for the both of them (with no romance by robotniks request) and they begin to work on things.. very slowly yes, and with a lot of cognitive disonence on robotniks part (he still cant admit that he cares, much less loces stone yet, even if he does,) but its progress and stone is satisfied with it.

Anyhow, sorry i went on a ramble, my thoughts decided to just go this way lol. Regardless, my point still stands, robotnik is a very deep and interesting character, and deserves to ve explored more. And also deserves a hell of a lot more angst.

Thank you for listening to my bullshit.
