#the exact options too

[bandichree]

Comprehensive color chart for The Season of Radiance! Included is a accessibility guide with written descriptions for each dye option for anyone who may need it (colorblind, etc). Alt text included in the images!

Each color was color-picked from a screenshot of the Rainbow Trousers shirt portion during daytime lighting for accuracy and consistency.

Hope this helps, have fun dyeing!

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

Crucify Him

Sharing one of the more powerful quotes from this current chapter of The Nazi Seizure of Power: The Experience of a Single German Town, 1922-1945.

The situation, where even heroism was denied the men of the democratic Left, came about in no small part because of the failure of the Social Democrats to understand the nature of Nazism. Just as their basic premise in the years before Hitler came to power was the erroneous assumption that the Nazis were essentially Putsch-ists who could not possibly attract a mass following, so their basic premise after Hitler came to power was the equally erroneous assumption that his would be a government similar to the others of the Weimar period.

The most eloquent document on this was the set of instructions sent out to SPD Locals in District Hanover on March 23, 1933. It was filled with instructions about sending for handbooks on Socialist policy in communal affairs and filling out questionnaires; in short, carrying on business as usual. The only reference to the phenomenon of Nazism was contained in paragraph seven;

Will the election of our village and town representatives be approved? That is a question which is repeatedly being asked. The question is unanswerable because we do not know what this government will do. However, in any case, we must, now as always, select trustworthy comrades as village representatives wherever we have a majority. Should they later not be sworn in, then we will take a position on this. Under no circumstances should we value any of our rights cheaply.

This at a time when SPD leaders were having their houses searched in the middle of the night for weapons! This when the officers of the Reichsbanner were being herded into jail by Storm troopers, beaten in the prisons across Germany, cast into Nazi concentration camps! The SPD, the only defenders of democracy in Germany, the men who should have been gathering guns and calling the general strike, or at least developing an underground with passwords, false names, and other paraphernalia of effective covert resistance, were instead being urged to keep the party files in order, to avoid bookkeeping errors, and above all to purchase the latest pamphlet on parliamentary tactics in village councils.

If the central offices of the SPD did not know “what this government will do,” the local socialist leaders in Northeim soon found out.

(the book goes on to describe the experiences of five Northeim Social Democrats over multiple pages of raids, imprisonment, misery, and persecution)

Post-PG AU where everyone survives (including Faquarl), but Nat still gets hospitalised because he got the whole Glass Palace falling on him and Kitty still suffers from the trip to the Other Place, so her and Bart take usual visits to the hospital merely everyday (Bart says it's because Kitty still needs assistance with her walking but he also just wants to watch If Nat wouldn't die from the runny nose or something, human are quite fragille, your know). Except one day Kitty and Nathaniel unitedly agree Bartimaeus has been on Earth for a bit too long (and Nat cannot elaborate, he was the one too keep him here for the 2+ years and he KNOWS it was the worst thing he's ever done in this situation) so they have to let him go for a while.

Bartimaeus does not want to leave his baldy injured humans unattended (he doesn't put it this way but no one cares), so he ask...Faquarl. And oh, this is the biggest nightmare ever, but, hey. Why not¹. He goes like "Listen, you have just kinda made a spirit revolution, almost destroyed London (I agree this is a rathole, but you were supposed to give it a dignity, as every great jinnie including myself), almost killed my friend a really good acquaintance of mine, almost murdered my master and me in my most glorious self (this one hurt, by the way). So, If maybe I can ask you by a little flavour, after which I won't give you anything at all and absolutely nothing would change, except maybe I will hate you one point one percent less. Deal?

And, before Faquarl can disagree, he starts unpacking the whole list of stuff he'll supposed to do for the next two weeks.

"Look after John sleeping normally, because he's a pain in the ass and he will not, be free to tell Kitty puch him with a stick If nedeed, maybe cook them something normal (maybe eggs) (mankind has been going progressively worse when it comes to food and I know you know that, the hospital food is particularly made of plastic.) Also John wouldn't drink coffee unless there's absolutely zero sugar in it, what a sensitive child, do not allow him to drink coffee under any circumstances. He knows damn well the doctors forbade him from doing so. Kitty should not walk more than two hours a day (and a walk from a hospital to her apartment is already about half an hour), she's also supposed to have some kind of support for standing as well, she will say she's able to manage everything alone and as much as I tend to believe her, no. No she's not, unless it would lead her to the position of the unfortunate idiot for the rest of her life. Johh, on the other side is not supposed to walk at all no matter what he thinks of himself and...no I don't love humans at all, what made you think so????"

(¹There was a lot of reasons "why not", actually, but I'm afraid If I start listing them all humans will ban me from existence for beating every possible word count).

did they seriously put a feature on roku tvs that detects when you're watching something on a dvd and gives you a popup telling you when the show/movie can be watched on a streaming service instead ... begone foul demon

Third is gonna show up and be responsible for taking the shady uncle down. I know he doesn't seem to be the type to be packing, but he's gonna redeem himself from the first timeline. Trai tried to kill San, and killed Wad in the process, due to his jealously. This time he's gonna save San, and everyone's, life because he just wants Vee happy, even if it's not with him.

And then he can meet Tao or Ju, or both, and live happily ever after.

i loooooooooooove listening to madonna's 'frozen' and thinking about jiang cheng, because first it's like "you waste your time with hate and regret you're broken when your heart's not open" and "love is a bird she needs to fly let all the hurt inside of you die" and oh yeah, that's that Good Jiang Cheng Shit, but then the song's "you" is complemented by an "i" and now suddenly this narrative is interpersonal and the mind turns to the logistics of it all. how would this situation arise? who would even be saying this to jiang cheng? what on earth could possibly have happened that jiang cheng finds himself being told by someone that "if i could melt your heart we'd never be apart"? and all of the options are so so so so good:

first up, the obvious: demon-siren-ghost lady. i'm not up on my chinese mythology enough to know what the appropriate option would be, but there definitely is one. cultures love coming up with evil monster women who lure innocent, horny men to their untimely demise. and jiang cheng's one of the guys in this world who deals with that kind of shit. and now he's done fucked up and gotten himself ensnared or whatever. perhaps he needs to be rescued. perhaps he just rolls his eyes and goes "yeah tell me something i don't know" and zidians his way out of it no sweat. like i said, the obvious option. but still. You Love To Ponder It.

second option, and perhaps the most in keeping with the tone of the song: some poor, unfortunate woman who's been sent by some guy somewhere to Seduce sandu shengshou for nefarious political purposes of some kind. she's being paid a lot of money. she's very good at this. she's.........pretty desperate at this point. like, seducing jiang wanyin, the proud, fearsome, ambitious, and super repressed head of the yunmeng jiang feels like it should be totally doable if you come at it with the right mindset and tools, and she definitely has the right mindset and tools, but here she is, in jiang cheng's bedroom, throwing everything she's got at this guy and he's giving her nothing. it is deeply painful for everyone involved and i am having a great time.

and then there's my favourite option: jiang cheng's recurring psychosexual nightmare. every night jiang cheng lies down, closes his eyes, and, baby, it is all happening here. we've got wen qing and jiang yanli. we've got wei wuxian and his mom. we've got every auntie and matchmaker who's ever sniffed contemptuously at him and declared him unmarriable. we've got qin su. we've got jin zixuan. hell, we've got jin guangyao, lan xichen, and nie mingjue along for the ride as well, i mean, who hasn't felt some kind of way about those three, amirite? like the gang is all here (jiang fengmian excepted, of course), all rolled into a dazzlingly horrible chimera flashing from facet to facet to facet pleading with him to bend even as it tells him he's broken. and then every day he wakes up, drenched in sweat, and has to get up and receive fantasy ancient china emails. truly the kind of soul-crushingly horrendous but delicious bullshit that makes jiang cheng one of the all-time blorbo greats.

what a song. what a guy. yeah i'll put that baby on repeat for hours and rotate between these three scenarios in hideous glee. god i love being alive.

something to be said abt a foster pleading for anyone to adopt their extremely sweet and playful disabled tabby cat for over a year with absolute Crickets in response vs us making one post at 8pm with a frankly very poorly taken photo of a cute no-personality fluffy white kitten we have (who's not even been here 3 days!) and we have 45 comments within the hour and three of our adoption people with their phones blowing up

prev anon and i'm going to say again: they can campaign and/or register green to get green on the ballot in their state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_party_and_independent_candidates_for_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election

if you feel like it's useless then work for a different option.

im interested if someone knows more about this process bc i actually didnt even know that they wouldnt show the 3rd party options in all states & its really nice to know that there is sth people can do about it but im curious what exact actions they should take in that case. but i do agree that ultimately if ppl want change then theyll need to work for it somehow, ppl should stop accepting this awful sophie's choice situation and do sth about it instead of reinforcing it with the voter shaming

[sol-flo]

also kinda sad i don't breast boobily more often because i know exactly the kind of cup that fits me perfectly and have nothing to do with this knowledge. many such cases

genuinely feel like a baffled alien when i read posts about how 90s-00s media was all made for the love of the craft, with not a care about profitability, and how the budget for famously expensive tv shows was in fact thruppence ha'penny and the fancy CGI effects were somehow intended to look shit because wheeeeeee people just enjoyed things back then!
