Have you and could you do a thought on jason chart? He and cass are my faves

The Feelings About Jason Todd Alignment Chart

Cass, Dick, and Tim versions. This is VERY contestable, Jason's canon history is inconsistent so a lot of these are subject to preferred runs/personal interpretation. So, as usual, open to change!

all the tme intersex people i used to know suddenly jumping on the newest transmisogynistic bandwagon and immediately spewing all the same “ur just overreacting, you call everything transmisogyny, stop being hysterical!!!” bullshit really puts into perspective how the intersex community on here gained any traction to begin with, y’all are not immune to pulling the same bullshit perisex people do and you’re calling the intersex transfems arguing against you perisex??? just to let afabs pretend to be us so you have that idealized quiet trans woman again, like i’m sorry but this is a strawman on par with “white trans woman” nothing has changed and at some point you need to realize that your conception of what these terms mean just doesn’t reflect their actual rhetorical use in real conversations about queerness

⚠️ALERT: SHERLOCK HOLMES DOESN'T ONLY DEDUCE!!!⚠️

Despite the fact that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle refers to his methods as "observation and deduction," Sherlock Holmes actually used a variety of deduction, induction, and abduction!

Merriam Webster uses a very clever soup analogy to explain these three!

"Deductive reasoning, or deduction, is making an inference based on widely accepted facts or premises. If a beverage is defined as "drinkable through a straw," one could use deduction to determine soup to be a beverage. Inductive reasoning, or induction, is making an inference based on an observation, and often an observation of a sample. You can induce that the soup is tasty if you observe all of your friends happily consuming it. Abductive reasoning, or abduction, is making a probable conclusion from what you know. If you see an abandoned bowl of hot soup on the table, you can use abduction to conclude the owner of the soup is likely returning soon."

Throughout the Canon, Holmes uses a mix of all of these methods. It's probably because these terms weren't as well known in the Victorian era. It is a common misconception to refer to any sort of inference as a deduction, but there are actually other types of inferences.

So yes, Sherlock Holmes does use deductive reasoning, but not all of his "deductions" are really that!

There's something so incredibly wholesome about Ace encouraging someone to live for themselves because he's been (or is still, depending on how you look at it) in their position before.

Ace might not think that he's loved, too entrenched in his father's legacy and what other people have told him when he was younger, but even when he believes that blood relation isn't something that can be chosen, what's important is that you become something great beyond blood or titles, that the path that you go on is what you choose for yourself.

Yamato saying that Ace taught him the meaning of life might as well be literal. It's the exact thing he needed to hear from someone who knows what it's like to live a life shadowed by their father's presence.

It’s crazy how expendable all the crew members were to the Pony Express.

A 30% chance that your shipment would be lost. Cargo and crew are inseparable if we are to believe the shitty layout of the Tulpar. People use it because it’s cheap. The labor is cheap. The lives are cheap.

They are all relatively easy to forget about. It’s implied Anya and Curly don’t have many friends or much family to be concerned about them back home. She mentions nothing and no one to fall back on and he feels like wasted his life with the company. Jimmy probably only has Curly, otherwise people wouldn’t care or ask. Of course Daisuke and Swansea have family’s but Swansea thinks poorly of his and Daisuke’s poorly of him. All people in the companies eyes that wouldn’t stir up too much trouble if they became part of the 30%.

It makes it so much sadder because that ladder they were climbing was so small and shitty. There were rungs, ranks, but even the highest was barely off the ground. Jimmy wanted to reach the top of something that was brutally cut off and knocked everyone else off just to not see it.

Friendly reminder that Steve didn't 'leave Tony to die' in Siberia. He fled to protect Bucky’s life (who Tony was trying to kill). It literally isn't Steve's job at that point to get Tony out of Siberia do you just expect him to shove them both on a plane together??

Also Tony wasn't left to die or freeze in Siberia because T’CHALLA IS RIGHT THERE. You really think T’Challa left with Zemo and didn't grab Tony too???

Anyway, please enjoy this PSA.

the little details and subtleties in this show go so hard like this scene for instance, when rodrigo said he's glad that juan was born and finally giving cesare a brother, juan immediately turns to cesare with an anticipatory gaze, expecting acknowledgment or perhaps even a heartwarming moment. but instead, cesare goes to pat gioffre’s head, leaving juan disheartened as he turns his head down feeling ignored at a time when he sought connection...

every time I see a non-elezen player describe duskwights as primarily defined by having dark skin, I kind of wince

because no actually, not every elezen with a dark skin color is a duskwight! carvallain and jannequinard are wildwoods! marcechamp, from tailfeather? wildwood. lucianne from the archers guild? wildwood.

and sure, there are a couple of prominent duskwight characters with darker skin- grinnaux (who is technically a modified wildwood with the duskwight version of face 1’s scars) and foulques. but. it’s a weird misconception to have when characters like liavinne, shale, jandelaine, mother miounne, and ysayle exist.

and when the character creation can be accessed by anyone to check this. the only playable race in ffxiv that is divided into clans with dark and light skin colors is viera. elezen have the same range of options as miqo’te! but somehow I never see keepers of the moon described as being distinct from seekers in terms of skin color in the same way as elezen.

like do you know how much the ‘oooh snap it’s marluxia he’s evil!’ ‘wait no that’s his sister!’ ‘who’s the traitor??? who’s the impostor??? murder mystery!!!’ ‘ven is vanitas!’ ‘wait no!’ ‘the player is xehanort!’ works do for khux? even years after the fact, knowing the truth, looking back through fandom history to see what people used to think at each point in time is SO fun. i kept those kinds of things in my mind the whole time while watching even despite knowing better

AND I MET THE CHANGE GOD TOO. OKAY. COOL OKAY

I do kind of think the idea of Tugger & Misto having 'a rivalry' is a little silly but there is something to be said about, like, one-sided antagonism. Because I can't really believe The Guy Who Sings A Seven Minute Love Ballad has any genuine dislike for Misto, but Misto, who is often characterized as being sneaky/mischievous, initiating this relationship with Tugger that's mostly based on playful antagonism & Tugger going along with it mostly just bc he likes Misto makes a lot of sense to me. I'm just reminded of this bit from the London production and how thrilled Tugger looked when Misto didn't mess with him. And also there's something about the idea of Misto going 'haha Tugger you suck' and Tugger shooting back 'well YOOOOOoooooouuuUUU,,, looked lovelier in this lighting last night than you do tonight. SO TAKE THAT'.

it is healing to come onto this blog and see basic respect for diasbility after being in other corners of the fandom and reading the words “snowkit could never be a warrior because he wouldnt know what anything is. he wouldnt even know what a clan is because nobody could explain it to him” said in full seriousness

Im..... That statement is so ableist I cannot even imagine the worldview you'd need to have in order to come up with that.

They really think the only way anyone learns anything is through verbal-speaking-words-noises? No one has ever observed something before? Not even once?

This is beyond touching grass, this person just fell out of the fucking Jurassic Period when all they had was ferns and stegosaurs.

I just...

OH YES. I remember my first day of Society Lessons as a hearing person, where the everything was explained to me. Via Audiobook. FIRST they spoke and said, "you are standing on the ground." It was a life changing revelation, and the world began to spin.

But it did not stop.

THEN they said, "there are fingers on your hands." The sensation of flesh and bone crackling into existence is indescribable, but I did not yet know pain, until they told me, "that hurts." I began screaming immediately.

And yet... it continued.

They explained so much. Chairs. Tables. Walls. The sky. Frogs. Ionizing radiation. Breathing. I was told all of it, in one sitting, and only then did I understand. Only when my ears were bursting with normal hearing knowledges, did they begin... my final test.

A strange wall-chair-finger emerged from the sky-of-the-wall, stood on the ground several times, until it was in front of me. A second one came behind it, this one slimmer. The audiobook gave these things names;

Human. Father. Mother. Door. Walking. It was completely impossible to know what these things were until that very moment.

I watch a human dip a hook into water and produce a fish, and I recall my Society Lessons where they called that "fishing." I am decked in the face by a nefarious hooligan, and I have only the audiobook to thank when I know I have been "punched" by a "bad guy." It was only the magic of verbal-speaking-words-noise that made me understand that there are "other people" and that they "do stuff."

Sometimes, even, in "groups."

Before the Society Lessons Audiobook, I knew nothing. I was pure, innocent, uncorrupted by concepts such as "parents" and "door." I am grateful every day that there is no such concept as "being shown things" or "simple logical reasoning" or "looking."

Blessed be those amongst us who escape the horrors of the Society Lessons Audiobook. I pray that you never learn what anything is. Be free! Free as a bird, which also knows nothing and famously cannot learn. 🤗

DEAF/HOH FOLLOWERS I'm losing my mind do you want me to bump a 'Hearing Disabilities Herb Guide' to the top of my priorities? Something you can use to bludgeon whackadoodles like that. This is ridiculous

Obviously not a MEDICINE guide but like; common causes of hearing disability in clan cats. Accommodations for hearing loss vs congenital deafness. Actual difficulties of not having that sense Clan-by-Clan. Debunking of misconceptions like... not being able to learn APPARENTLY.

Okay so. Apparently the copyright stuff is just. Standard copyright law shit. Nothing much different from any other company. My main issue tbh is like.... this is a webtoon, alright. Not some billion dollar corporation protecting their little precious property (which would still be absurd, but I digress)

If other projects, bigger than them, don't really give a damn about fan merch or commissions being made of their characters, then why should they. A niche indie webtoon. It's absurd

Uhhh something Something headcanon the pizzaplex staff are given little trivia note cards about the company and the 80's in general to recite to guests as they tour the place or something, but the thing about these note cards is that they're full of the most inaccurate info ever, and freddy'll overhear them sometimes and literally have to stop in his tracks to compute what was just said like

Staff: "And here we have Glamrock beauty salon! Where you can get personally styled by Roxy herself! Fun fact, shoulder pads were all the rage in the 80s! Everyone was wearing them, along with their bright neon t-shirts and legwarmers!"

Glamfred: "......I remember we wore more t-shirts and jeans, actually"

Staff: "......?"

GF: "uH.....I mean--I am sure there were some shoulder pads..!"
