The math just adds up!
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#marcille donato#farcille#I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath.#not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first.#I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*.#Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about.#I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/#Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight -#The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room!#Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

Huh
Interesting
I was watching Kengineer's 3rd solo playthrough episode last night when this quote from the Lotus popped up during the Once Awake quest, and it got me thinking about 1999.
1999 is when the Infestation pretty much shows up for the first time (at least as far as we know), which places the Radiation Wars after 1999 (of course).
...but how long after?
Now idk how old this Lotus quote is and whether it's in the devs' minds at all, but imagine that the Radiation Wars are directly after 1999, sparked by this recent apocolyptic infestation spreading all of a sudden.
Imagine the 1999 quest ends with nuclear armageddon, perhaps even on New Year's. We make that final New Year's kiss (or not), knowing that the people here are doomed to die (though they were probably doomed to die to the helminth strain inside them at some point anyways).
I imagine in this scenario that for the sake of replayable 1999 gameplay (and maybe even the opportunity to change romance routes) that this time fragment of 1999 we find ourselves in repeats indefinitely, always ending in the beginning of the Radiation Wars.
would be pretty funny i think
#not me just really really curious about these radiation wars since i first found out about them years ago lol#i kind of doubt they would actually do this but then again who knows#like imagine how baller of a move that would be#now i think we should still keep from experiencing the radiation wars in their entirety because that would ruin some of the magnitude of it#in this hypothetical timeline placement we would only see the very beginning of the radiation wars as we can imagine how it goes from there#ok brainworm thoughts over phew#warframe#warframe speculation#warframe lore#rambling

Also, I've seen several people reading about the cut marks to his jaw and expressing a belief that Fitzjames' fellow men consumed his face.
From what I know about survival/disaster cannibalism though, it seems more likely to me that they wouldn't have done so. I've read in the past that in many cases like this, those doing the butchering often remove and discard body parts like heads, hands, and feet first because they're most indicative of humanity.
Essentially, it's much easier to avoid facing the reality of what you're doing if what's before you looks as little like a human and as much like plain haunch of meat as possible.
#Like you're already having to eat your friend#Having to look him square in the face while you do so is just orders of magnitude worse#The more easily you can pretend he's just a chunk of steak the better#Just another observation anyway#I am by no means an expert but that was my first thought reading the article#James Fitzjames#Franklin Expedition#History#Historic Context#Archaeology#Survival/Disaster Cannibalism

I forget who in bookclub mentioned this (pls call yourself out and I'll @ you with credit in this post), but someone pointed out that we don't know if anyone knows what Meryl went through. What she knows. Wolfwood has a conversation with her earlier, but it's just about what Vash is, probably clueless as to their shared memories. Vash doesn't give any hints he has any idea what she's witnessed--he's so fearful of what he is and what he's capable of, it's possible he doesn't know what his powers are. Eventually, at the very earliest, it's seven months from now before we see her admit aloud what she's seen. And, hell. With how much Wolfwood and Vash tuck away and don't talk about, why would she feel like she could talk about it?
And yet, despite all that. Despite having trauma unlike anything she's ever known in her life before. Despite having trauma that no human should have to bear. Despite not being sure what to even do with that, with herself, with Vash (who she's seen witness and commit unspeakable horrors!). She still chooses kindness. She still chooses love and peace. She still chooses Vash.
We see a lot of people handle their trauma in really shitty ways in this story; in many ways, it's a story deeply about trauma. And Meryl, isolated and afraid and with this pain fresh within her, doesn't turn away from what she knows is good and worth saving on this hellhole planet. And, idk, I think that's beautiful, and I love her for it.
#Trigun#TrigunBookclub#Trigun Meta#Listen the jokes about being traumatized by chicken Vash are HILARIOUS#But my girl is handling this so well considering#And beautifully#She shouldn't HAVE to bear it#But she shows that you CAN#Regardless of whether you deserve what happened to you (no one ever does)#And how much fear and pain comes with it#I feel like the magnitude of this was lost on my first readthrough#And it's not perfect#BUT#I SAID WHAT I SAID AND I MEANT IT

i like to think yujin sat susato down one day and said “since youre a girl people are going to treat you differently, and you won’t be allowed to do the same things as boys. and some people are going to try to hurt you. so im going to teach you how to judo flip a man twice my size and weight. this is my friend jigoku”
#susato mikotoba#yujin mikotoba#i think when yujin came home he had really realized the magnitude of the role he had been put in#the role of being a father to a girl who is painfully like him#so of course the first step is making sure she knows that nobody can ever tell her she’s not good enough without getting their ass beat

Orym and Ashton are totally right. On the idea of preparing to say goodbye. Sure, it may be a scary thing to confront, but now is the time to look at what they're going into realistically. A god eater + alien army + Ludinus is quite possibly the most dangerous thing that Exandria will face, and who knows what could happen to Ruidus once it's released from its prison. Not even mentioning all the other factors that could come into play
It will be interesting to see if Orym follows his own advice!
#critical role#cr spoilers#c3e110#i am still watching so no spoilers past the first hour of the ep please#and yes im definitely eyeing orym on following through with saying his goodbyes#man the tension and dread in this episode is prevalent#i love it and hate it#and on one last note its okay to stay positive about it#i just think a little bit of realism is important for the magnitude of this mission

a love that feels as easy as breathing.
#I wrote that in a journal entry a few months ago#but I think I’m just now realizing the magnitude of that#I said it out loud for the first time#and it was in that moment I realized I was gasping for air before#feeling suffocated#and smothered#I didn’t think feeling free would feel this calm#it’s so beautiful#and necessary#I’ll remember this feeling forever#even if we aren’t meant to be for that long#so thank you#for simply showing me this exists#that this is possible#& I am deserving of it#<3

legitimately insane how to some people, "we should wipe out this ethnic group that we've violently constrained to a ghetto because they're just genetically more violent and dangerous" is a reasonable and justifiable statement but it's Nazi Rhetoric to say something like, "it's bad that Israeli civilians are being killed but acknowledging that as tragic includes acknowledging that the almost daily state-sanctioned murder of civilians by the Israeli government is also tragic and unacceptable"
btw guys speaking of Nazi shit - can we check in, alongside what's been done to Palestinians in the last 75 years, what's the Israeli government's take on the Azerbaijani government's newest round of ethnic cleansing of Armenians? oh are the Israeli government's actions maybe not determined by Jewish identity, but by a commitment to colonial supremacy which puts them on the same page as other violently genocidal states like Azerbaijan, the US, and the UK? god can you Even Imagine?
(framing speaking against Israeli war crimes as inherently antisemitic requires understanding the Israeli state as representing all Jewish people, when it doesn't even represent all Israelis.
framing Israeli war crimes as synonymous with Jewish identity is pretty fucked up if we're being honest. I don't think that controlling water and power and movement for a captive population and shooting children dead for throwing stones is an inherent value of Judaism, any more than I think the torture carried out at Guantanamo Bay is an inherent value of Christianity - in both cases they're atrocities carried out by a far right genocidal government using religious identity as a shield.
Calling statements like "Israel is committing genocide against the people it's displaced" inherently antisemitic is doing more to further the idea that all Jewish people are associated with Israel than saying "the Israeli government is doing war crimes," which is a statement of fact about a country that exists and does war crimes. Is criticism of Israel as a nation often used as cover for antisemitism? Absolutely. Does that mean the Israeli government isn't doing literal war crimes repeatedly, on record, while talking publicly about scrubbing an ethnic group off the map? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well in the last 48 hours they've definitely cut off water and power to almost 600,000 civilians and allegedly used white phosphorus against civilians so in an extremely factual and unambiguous way yeah man those are Literal War Crimes whoever does them.)
#red said#sorry man saying 'it's bad to do genocide and war crimes' doesn't actually mean 'I'm happy when Jewish people die'#it means 'there is a context to Palestinian militants attacking Israelis which involves Palestinians being killed wounded or imprisoned#very nearly every day by the Israeli state and settlers. so no you can't treat a Palestinian attack on Israel as an unprecedented tragedy#without also recognising that Israeli forces have repeatedly visited attacks of similar magnitude on Palestine which is ALSO tragic#as well as the regular state-sanctioned murder of over 200 Palestinians in the 9 months BEFORE the Palestinian attack on Saturday#It means 'Palestinian lives don't matter less than Israeli lives' not 'Israeli lives don't matter'#this week is literally the FIRST TIME SINCE RECORDS BEGAN that more Israeli lives have been lost than Palestinian#bc for every year since 2000 orders of magnitude more palestinians than Israelis have been killed in this war#you don't get to say 'it's only bad when X ethnic group is killed it's GOOD to kill Y ethnic group' then accuse OTHERS of genocide apologis#it is legitimately a tragedy for Israeli civilians to be killed and wounded en masse. the people are not the nation.#but it's not less of a tragedy for Palestinians to have been killed and wounded en masse week after week for decades.#and when peaceful protest gets you shot and bombed and acting against the military gets you shot and bombed#and just existing doing nothing at all gets you shot and bombed. living near someone accused of terrorism. looking for your fucking cat.#when you're getting shot and bombed daily whatever you do. it's not surprising that sometimes people move to violence against civilians.#because as people from Gaza have said. better to die fighting for survival than die on your knees waiting.#which like. I'm not making a moral judgement one way or the other bc i am intrinsically disgusted by mass killing. as we all should be.#and this might be the movement which liberates Palestine and it might be the excuse which allows Israel to finish Palestine#and either way hundreds of people are dead on both sides and however you slice it that's a fucking tragedy#but we cannot. treat it as if Hamas' strike began the violence. and ignore the 200+ Palestinians killed by the IDF this year beforehand#Palestinian lives matter as much as Israeli lives. 700 Israeli citizens dead is a tragedy. 600 Palestinians dead is a tragedy.#and if you lay out the numbers from this weekend alone you can pretend that Israelis are getting decimated by Palestine.#but to do that you have to ignore the facts that for every 1 Israeli killed in the past decade 3 Palestinians die.#and that Israeli deaths happen in occasional outbursts of violence while Palestinian deaths happen every week#whether or not Hamas or any other Palestinian faction initiates violence

i'm seeing three times as many people bitching in the tag about the very idea that someone might not like this breed than i see people actually expressing unambiguous dislike for this breed
#the preemptive counter-bitchers are consistently orders of magnitude meaner and more uncharitable about it too#like i'm convinced at this point these people just have these counter-bitches ready to go on launch regardless of actual reception#it's starting to feel like they just fill out a generic “what moral failing can i accuse the potential idea of dislikers of” template#and post it as soon as the thing's out whether or not anyone actually complains much less the way they accuse people of#these people are getting to the point that even when it's about something i unambiguously *like* i still have to resist the urge#to comment “fr staff aren't gonna fuck you bro”#there's like 11 different posts all insisting that the only reason anyone could dislike the new breed is fatphobia#meanwhile i scrolled down the entire tag and found like 2. maybe 3 people that even mentioned it in the same post as disliking the breed#before anyone gets ideas i'm generally-neutral-to-appreciative of the attempt at moldbreaking on the breed#and am completely indifferent the weight of dragons. the only thing i care about is if the design is original and interesting#a vast majority of the dislike posts i've seen so far have been in the vein of “nah man this one's just not for me” or “too maggot”#or “i hoped for an eldritch horror”. and there's not that many of these dislike posts in general. especially compared to normal.#meanwhile the counter-bitching has all been like “YOU'RE ALL JUST GREEDY UNPLEASABLE ENTITLED WHINY BABY FATPHOBES DIE MAD”#it's like this every time and i feel like it takes less and less to get people going like this every time#it almost feels like they get angrier faster the *less* anyone actually complains in the first place#a behavior pattern i'm well versed in from experience with my mother#and they always seem to get angriest at the most mild polite complaint posters rather than any of the actually questionable ones#like they'll ignore someone spouting clear fatphobia to go fling bigotry accusations at someone who just said “eh i kinda hoped for scary”#they also consistently have a bad case of “fr players are a monolith who all ask for the same things”-brain#i don't know what it is that makes it so fr players are so insecure about liking anything that the possible existence of anyone who doesnt#makes them feel like they're being directly attacked#flight rising#i suspect it's downstream of a similar kind of “we know if we don't get what we want we lose our chance because the devs are fickle” thing#to the fundamental flaw that doomed the minecraft mob votes

see now we have to talk abt when ik gets older and she dosent wanna spend as much time w her dad anymore….lucifer will understand but you KNOW his heart broke in two
the especial tragedy is that lucifer's perspective of time is super different to ours what with his massive lifespan, so from his pov he had way too little time with his little kid before she was already declaring herself too old to be carried around and fussed over like before
i think everyone would have the same problem, like they get it but why why whyyy do humans have to grow up so fast
#answering asks#anon asks#dad in the devildom#she'd have a precocious phase from like 10-13 where she insists she's grown up and independent and doesn't need coddling anymore#not in an abrasive way or anything she just kind of starts avoiding it#everyone else is in mourning for the entirety of said phase#she'd have been been a super cuddly little kid too so it's extra devastating#she does mellow out and start enjoying being spoiled again eventually#being surrounded by super ancient and powerful beings is probably what made her go through that phase in the first place#even if she doesn't quite understand the magnitude of their differences in lifespan she can sense it all the same#and - not wanting to be left behind - she insists that she can catch up#a problem all iks have no matter the au is that they try to grow up too fast#and in most cases - including classic jtta - she succeeds

personally i feel like it's not hard at all to denounce a genocidal regime even if you are living within said genocidal regime. in fact id even argue sometimes, when able, it's your responsibility to do so and have a voice for those that are being oppressed by (both within and outside of) the genocidal regime and therefore unable to safely speak up themselves. im native to the country i live in but i would denounce and have denounced them in a heartbeat for the horrific crimes they've committed and assisted in. because i am not my country's government/military/political force. i might not have a voice with massive sway, but i still have a voice.
#might delete this but i saw a post that....kind of irked me#the privileges/rights i personally have in the usa are by no means the best but i recognize when i can use my voice#and perhaps there's a more nuanced way to say all this but this is just what first came to mind#you cannot turn a blind eye to genocide of any magnitude anywhere because you don't want to get involved or whatever tf your reason is.#silence is quite literally compliance here#that's just how i feel about it all#free palestine#free sudan#free congo#free indigenous peoples#free all oppressed peoples#because none of us are free until all of us are free#c.txt

I am sufferingggggggggg i am reading (well, listening to the audiobook of) the stormlight archive for the first time and it is making me FEEL THINGS to the point where I feel the need to write FIC ABOUT IT (which is something i basically never do) and I'm trying to write a scene that takes place just after a canon event and I want to finish this little AU conversation before I continue on because I KNOOOOOW it's not going to actually go this way in canon so I want to live in my little AU for a bit. I know myself. I know that once I hear how the story actually goes, I'll lose motivation to finish writing my little what if scene. But also, this audiobook has been my go-to bedtime story for a while now, and I wanna hear what happens next and also go to sleep ;-;
#its 2am im so tired i wanna sleep#but first i must write a story#this is a greek torment of the same magnitude as that of sisyphys#what did i do to deserve such a fate

in yet another cruel twist of fate, early-type galaxies are actually the ones that have mostly old stars while late-type galaxies are the ones with more young stars
