Controversial opinion. Feel free to yell at me, I don’t care.

Most people’s deaths should be respected. The loss of human life is sad. At the very least, that’s a viewpoint I hold.

But some people have caused so much suffering that I cannot respect them even in death and I don’t believe they deserve to be respected. Nobody should suddenly be pardoned of their crimes (literal or metaphorical) just because they have passed away.

@paradox-n-bedrock I have been ENABLED thank you

In the Temple-Doctor-Noble house, in France because “Hey you wanna go watch the Grammys at the Doctor’s? He messed with his TV and I’m fairly sure it taps directly into the cameras of whatever you’re watching,” Shaun is just pumped a great artist from ‘his�� era dropped a single for the first time in 30 years, and that single turned out to be a JAM. Donna, not particularly a music person, doesn’t really listen to the words until 2-3 plays later, but then it hits her. The Doctor hears it once and is immediately gutted (not that he lets it show while everyone’s busy jamming out to You May Be Right). The two of them spend the next day listening separately over and over like you do with a song that’s so good it hurts you, until they realize that the other is just as affected, and then listen to it together. Eventually they’re able to hear it and be normal about it. The Doctor and Shaun both goofily sing along. Between the three of them, it’s on a ridiculous level of repeat in the house. And it’s got a solidly pub-song feel so Wilf is all-in with the singalongs. By day three, Rose retracts her initial admittance that it’s a pretty good song, and declares if she hears it one more time she is going to kill them all.

The song is just so timely. It’s a song about being late, potentially even too late, to get back what you had and about hoping and pleading to be able to salvage it, and isn’t that just the Doctor-est thing ever??

Support for my “Cultivation knew Honor wouldn’t survive Todium and it’s part of her long term plan” theory: Lift told the Nightwatcher that her ask was to stay the same when everyone else changed. She meant that she doesn’t want to grow up, which obviously wasn’t granted, but now the Stormlight is gone and she is the only true remaining Radiant…

media made by addicts always has a certain je ne sais quoi that I can't quite describe but I feel like I have sixth sense for identifying. even when a work is in no way about substance use or compulsive behavior, there are just ways that authors treat subjects like guilt or secrets or self-control that make me go "hang on. You 🫵." and then when I check it always turns out that I'm right. it's even happened to me a few times, I'll make what I think is a generic tragedypost and people in the notes will say "op am I reading too much into this or are you. maybe. yknow. 👀"

I found myself in the unfortunate position of trying to explain to my normie coworkers the concept of a high fantasy ball

me: it’s like. you know. like a formal ball but more magical aesthetic. heavy on the flower crowns and long flowing robes. very ethereal

Coworkers: like Bridgeton?

me: kindaaaa but not really bound by a specific era of history….

coworkers: like game of thrones?

me (sweating): I mean. yeah that’s more dark fantasy, but there are events that definitely go that route. I’m thinking more…*gives up and shows them a video*

coworker: oh wow people are wearing fairy wings!

This is an appreciation post for a very specific niche in media: characters dying/having drama/going through shit and other characters hearing it over a radio/phone/comms unit. Especially over a comms unit.

The only example I can think of off the top of my head is Voltron: Legendary Defender which... I haven't watched it in years but I vividly remember characters actively suffering and other characters hearing it because the comms in their lions (ships) are connected to both each other and to the castle (mothership). Or, vice versa, a character suffering and hearing the other characters worried over the comms. Like the image of someone stuck in their cockpit with only auxiliary/backup lights on and the faint calls of concern from their teammates? I love it, it's so fun

idk I just think it's a really cool dramatic way to do that

In what way was Napoleon personally manipulative? (That is, outside of politics) And are there any anecdotes depicting it?

I just read an old book on google books called "Napoleon's Opera Glass." Its thesis is that Napoleon loved the theater and was theatrical himself. The author gives many examples of Napoleon's behavior where he's being an actor. This was not only with political figures.

I think Napoleon believed he had superior knowledge of people, that he could influence them very easily using different techniques: his charm, charisma, inspirational with the troops, his incredible memory for facts, by intense interrogations, disdain and contempt, lies, insults, or his anger. His charm was the most effective since it got some who hated him to change their views after meeting him in person. Other things like his anger only pissed people off and made them think of ways to use reverse psychology on him.

I think it was just Napoleon's nature to manipulate. He wasn't being evil. Manipulation is pretty common behavior.
