What is your actual opinion on the infamous Caucasian joke?

Understood= the outside context to the joke itself (the fandom quarrelling between whether the hs kids were white or bipoc)

Good taste= was the joke in good taste? was it poking fun at people being racist towards bipoc headcanons or was it punching down on people who just wanted to see characters that aren't white?

Funny= obviously, is the joke even funny? this can range from a mild exhale from the nose to uncontrollable laughter

(worldbuilding) thinking more about how "dungeons" actually work on a thematic level in fairytale au and i'm jiving with the idea of them as pockets of reality straining under moral complexity which eventually corrode into unambiguous Evil to fight off that "infection", if that makes any sense. thistle sets himself apart from that by locking away the arbiter and freezing his world (hence the stillness, compared to canon GK still being shown to have things like nighttime) to prevent any further corruption. it works because he isn't entirely self-motivated—his intentions are just as much selfless as they are selfish and the world just can't cope with that internal contradiction

I am very wary of concepts of being able to hear deities and other entities. Between how I was raised and being a system, it's just something that I struggle with the concepts of personally.

That said I have had experiences of "hearing" things from Loki and I am sort of learning to sus out his communication from things like system communication and those things.

Today I think is a fabulous example of that.

I have had two dreams in which Loki has made appearances in about as many weeks and I kind of knew there was something to these dreams because he was the only person in the dream that I could never fully see. He's been encouraging me to work on my intuition, so I just rolled on the assumption that that was him in my dreams just making himself known, just to let me know that he was there.

So these kinds of concepts have been on my mind lately and have brought up a lot of contemplation about where does caution end and fear begin. Now I am not at all afraid of Loki, I do have concerns about other things pretending to be him or just...y'know, ✨️ religious delusions✨️.

So that kind of sets the stage for what just happened today. I was piddling on tiktok and pouting about my painting that didn't go the way I wanted. When I remember I haven't eaten much today so I open the pantry and get the sense of "Hey, maybe have an apple".

Now I assumed this was Loki for a few reasons. 1) it wasn't "Let's have an apple" as it would have been in my own thoughts or system communication and 2) the video I was listening to was about him and that tends to catch his attention (2.5 I had been thinking about the aforementioned communication thing).

So I grab my apple and as I reach for the cutting board I get an image of the last time I had an apple with cinnamon and sugar, now this I did think was system communication. We have aphasia so images can be easier than words. And as I agree to cinnamon on my apple the video which is now talking about offerings to Loki mentions apples and cinnamon as some of his favorite things.

The snort and giggle I heard over my shoulder when I just came to a complete and total stop.

I also want to clarify, I like tajin or peanut butter on my apples. I never put the cinnamon sugar mix on my apples till someone (I thought in the system) asked to try it last week.

So anyway I think the reason things about clairaudience keeps coming up on my various fyps despite my scrolling is because Loki has been trying to get my attention.

DMC5 is definitely a cool and fun game but I feel like it really goes out of its way to make it harder to learn how to actually play it

I mentioned on stream last night the part where there's moves like Nero's Max Act that want you to time things but it doesn't actually give you any indication of the timing (so aside from learning the timing itself you also have to figure out when the appropriate time is through...trial and error? I guess?)

But with Dante in particular with all his different weapons it's got a thing where most of the various movesets have moves with similar functions that all have different inputs

Like. You start with Nero and he's got a gap-closer on forward + X and a launcher on back + X, then in the air you have your normal air combo and back + X becomes a ground slam, so you're like "ah, I see, this is my elevation-change input"

Then you get Dante with Devil Sword Sparda and on the ground it's the same, all well and good, but then in the air your only X input is a ground slam and your air combo is on Y (but only when you're in Swordmaster). Alright fair enough I suppose this is a different character let's try his other weapons.

His second weapon, Balrog, still has a gap-closer on forward + X, and back + X is - a mode change. Which then has a launcher on forward + X. And when you're in the air punch mode has the air combo on X and a ground slam on Y, but kick mode has the air combo on Y and a ground slam on X why are these different.

You unlock Cavaliere and it changes it up again where back + Y is a launcher, and back + X in midair actually goes further up instead of down... I haven't got the fourth weapon yet so we'll have to see what shenanigans that one pulls.

Do you believe the whole ‘the term core is harmful’ thing? And where can i learn more about it?

essentially, "core" comes from the outdated idea that people with DID / OSDD had one "original" part. since the theory of structural dissociation has become the mainstream, science acknowledges that there is no "original," and instead a personality that never fully integrated. most researchers use "host," or "part in executive control most often." in terms of sources, I'd just look into the theory of structural dissociation. idk. i'm tired and i do not have links.

but tl;dr, "core" is outdated and does not properly explain how systems work. there is no "original."

endos DNI this ain't for you. ik u lot are allergic to science.

[lmaster37]

When you were a child, you entered the temples of Stars and swore your life away.

Twelve long years you spent in Wiagsun, bringing offerings to Meissa, offering worship to Itonda, worshipping without cease Nenque and Tonatiuh. Your devotion you gave to Alcor: the fainter twin, overshadowed by luminous Mizar, ever steadfast and loyal.

Alcor was that which guided your hands as you healed your first scraped knees—which guided your mouth as it spoke prayers and gave thanks—which sealed closed flesh and replenished blood, strengthened bone, coaxed tissue.

It was merely the physical you could heal, of course, but it was enough. For twelve years, it was enough.

When the thirteenth spring of your life in Wiagsun drew to a close, Alcor's chosen Arundhati came to you and laid upon you a holy charge, and not a week passed ere the party of taskfolk arrived and received you into their number.

They were an eccentric bunch, but Alcor had acted well to place you with them. Wiagsun had begun to stifle rather than embrace you; now, you travelled the breadth of the continent. Here you were not a foundling or an acolyte. Here you were Starsworn.

---

Of course, removed from the temples, your skills no longer sufficed.

It was Lífthrasir's death which first revealed your lack; physical survival you easily ensured, but he could no longer tread the path to Hoddmímis, erasing centuries of mastery in an instant. In the end, it was a hordeling that felled him.

Anansewa was abandoned by her colony as her thread was severed. Yosoji's prayers for guidance went unanswered and he withered away.

In the end, it was only you and Occia. Wiagsun had long since fallen before the onslaught; the gods had retreated to the Temple of Vesta, cowering within as Occia alone stood guard.

Her death, at least, came quick. The last Vestal did not see the flame extinguished: it was only when you gently shut her eyes, hunched over her body becoming still, that Vesta's hearth grew cold.

And then, you were alone.

For the first time in fifteen years, you are alone.

---

Behind you, Vesta's temple gives in at last, yielding with a sigh of grinding stone and shattered glass. You're glad that this, at least, dies quietly. You are tired of screams.

Unthinkingly, your heart stretches itself towards Alcor, and finds—

Nothing.

The gods had fled to Vesta's temple. There is nothing left to believe in.

So nothing you must embrace.

---

The sky above the onslaught is emptied.

All the Stars have gone. The Sun set hours ago; no Moon ever rose.

You, too, are emptied. You reach, again, desperately, for the god you've loved for fifteen years—you howl your wrath into the black night—and nothing answers.

Its silence is deafening as it curls around your ribs. You are emptied: you become more empty still. It is the absence of warmth—the failure of light—your faith collapsing inward.

No sound escapes you as you struggle to your feet, leaving behind the ruins of all. It matters not that your shattered legs ought not to carry you, nor that the blackness set before you is absolute.

Your hatred fails you. Instead, you become hunger.

---

You tear through them with absent claw, drink down blood, bite out throats, silence screams.

You have no need for sight. Hunger drives you forward, devouring all that remains.

It is not revenge that you seek, of course. Your ribcage is a hollow thing. You are hunger made manifest: your heart was first to go.

It does not matter that, before you were hunger, you disdained the onslaught. They are all that still is.

You are the starving of the world.

---

And the world is empty, and becoming emptier, and still you are hunger.

Nothing remains but the emptiness of you.

You turn your teeth upon yourself—

You, devouring, are consumed—

And the world is empty.

You were the healer—the last light of your party. But now your final ally dies in your arms, and there’s no one left to save. The enemy jeers, calling you useless. You look up, eyes hollow and black. The light is gone. The Void answers. You're no longer a cleric. You're something far worse.
