“but if you didnt read aftg for the sports or the romance what did you read it for” is such a good question. unfortunately i am weird and mean and i read it because i like reading about people who are also weird and mean

Thinking about it now, (I forgot….) but were Sasuke and Naruto purposely placed on the same team for the sole purpose of using Sasuke as a tool to control the kyuubi right from the very beginning…? To further place surveillance over Naruto’s life so that they’d be able to keep him on a chain whenever he leaves the village for missions and so on. That’s so ugly…

thinking about the economic divide in the outsiders again. sigh.

I am never going to get the motivation to watch squid game 2 but TRANS PERSON REPRESENTATION IN KOREAN MEDIA??? Let's goooo!! I have now genuinely seen that happen TWICE in a kdrama and I would never have even dreamed of being able to say that when I was younger

you read one jorge luis borges story and you're like "what the heck just happened, i feel like i almost understand something but im not all the way there. maybe the next one will make it clearer" and then you read another jorge luis borges story and you go "wait wait there was a secret civilisation of immortals doing what" but he doesn't tell you more than what exists on the scant pages you were given so you read a third jorge luis borges story because after all they're really only a few pages each and they do entice you so for reasons you cant immediately put your finger on, and a fourth jorge luis borges story and a fifth and sixth and so on until you feel like the world is a labyrinth that you can only glimpse the truth at the centre of and you're twisting and twining your way through hidden corridors and half-glimpsed mythologies and histories and the world is a wondrous (oftentimes in a terrifying way) place with magic and wisdom and stories that could assail you at any moment if you just open your eyes to them.

and you still think that you almost understand something so you go back and read the first jorge luis borges story again, but also you know that you understand everything you're meant to, because after all one can never know everything that the wondrous labyrinths of the world, one can only experience them.

EDIT: also they sound like what a dream feels like

So the Seraphim only take orders from certain people they've been programmed to follow (namely the Vegapunks and the Gorosei), but also they do take orders from individuals who possess an authority chip. Between that and the knowledge that the Seraphim are cyborgs, it makes me wonder...

Like, do they have somekinda control chip installed somewhere in their bodies (brain, spine?) that acts as the thing that forces them to follow orders and not act (too much) on their own will? 'Cause would the existence of an authority chip, a thing that essentially "sends out orders", not also imply the existence of something that recieves the order (like other than their brain) and forcibly puts it into motion? Something similar to whatever visual scanner+database combo Vegapunk installed into Kuma that allowed him to instantly recognize certain people and whether or not they were enemies or allies to him (at least as far as the WG thinks)

'Cause if so, like. I wonder. Could you remove that chip and basically free the Seraphim from being just borderline-mindless flesh robots?

In that scenario... what would they become?

Because, like, we don't know how much Free Will the Seraphim even have, how developed their minds are? Are/would they be fully functional human beings (if immature because they're still kids) who have just had half their mind essentially turned off so they don't think about anything else except following orders? If you freed them from the WG's control would they be able to live and function freely just like Stussy's clone can? But when being under that kind of control is all they've ever known, would they know how to function? Like what do you do, where do you go, who do you become? Who are you to begin with, does that even matter? What about your relation to the person you were cloned from, what does that mean? Are you doomed (🐊🦩🦇) or expected (🦈🐻��🦅) to become just like the person you were cloned from? Do you even want that? What will having that kind of freedom to do and become whatever you want even mean to someone who has never known what it means to even want something for themselves?

(But also, depending on who you were cloned from, would people even trust you enough to allow you go free and live your own life, or would you be deemed a threat by simply existing because you are the clone of a horrible, heinous person?) (Of course, we know existing is not a crime, and no one is born into this world a criminal. But we also know the World of One Piece does not always think this kindly)

Made another spindle. It's very small. Also very irregular and lumpy due to the wood (I wanted the raised brown lines to stay and erred on the side of caution in how much I cut away...but that did lead to a very irregular spindle).

It also wanted to crumble as I carved, so pretty much all the fine tuning I just did by sanding it, which helps to compress the fibers down as well as remove material without crumbling or splintering.

It really came to life when I oiled it. Probably will be best after a few good coats and some time. My woodburning kit seems to be totally gone, which is a bummer. So I'm not woodburning anymore.

Spins well. Obviously being so tiny and light it was always going to be a fine spinning spindle, but effortless thread from an unprepped piece of fleece is pretty indicative as well. I seem to find myself carving mostly thread spindles at the moment. They're always so small and light in the hand, they remind me of holding baby birds.

Actually the Original Plan was for Buffy to end in Season 5, but sinister External Forces [the production company that made it and Buffy's creator and showrunner] randomly stopped that from happening [by engaging in a protracted and very public bidding war over which network would host future seasons of the show while Season 5 was still being written, which WB lost and UPN won, as a result of which the production company earned significantly more money than they had for previous seasons].

Going to restaurants with my mother is a valid form of torture. She is allergic to asking the server questions so she'll ask me instead like I fucking work there. "Can I get this well done?" Most likely. "What does this taste like?" Dunno, never had it. "Why does this cost more than this?" Because the owner hates you personally omfg shut up.

I set up a light trap in my yard to try and attract a lady friend for one of my two male rhino beetles but I found another male instead.. so I guess I have three male rhino beetles now! I’ve given him some beetle jelly to snack on in his temporary home and he seems to be enjoying it :]
