24-312 Interdependence

, Interdependence “the idea that everything is connected to and depends on every other thing” We take some much of our day-to-day lives for granted…never realizing how much is reliant on our interdependence. For instance, if we want to grocery shopping…well, we need a grocery store…someone else had to create that, which involved all kinds of construction people, equipment and supplies…all…

As a reader one of my favorite things about steddie week so far is that throughout the day I see posts on my timeline indicating the time of day for the authors like ‘kicking off day two of steddie week!’ Or ‘in preparation for day two of steddie week tomorrow’ and so on and they hardly ever line up with my time of the day so I’ve got wonderful skilled talented friends all over the world writing stories that I get to read and spend the whole time like this emoji 🥰 and when I get done reading one I can scroll a little bit and I’ll find another it’s wonderful

When you deny yourself, you deny others too. When you deny a part of yourself, you deny that same part in others too. When you reject yourself you reject others too. When you judge yourself, you judge others too. When you don’t accept yourself, you don’t accept others either. The same goes the other way. Others are you and you are them in a way, if you hurt them, you hurt yourself, if you hurt yourself, you hurt them. We’re all connected. When anyone is in pain others are too and feel it. We are social animals, not single individuals all living separate from each other. The idea that we are is individualistic, white supremacist and colonial, it’s wrong and not true.

It’s not just about humans, we’re also all connected to the universe, to nature, to every plant and being.

So amazing!

Totally a Real Human Man and not an ancient avatar molded out of clay and imbued with the power of Truth.

The fact that people 30 years older than me have been Dead Poets Society fans- and some saw the queer coding like we do- makes me feel like a part of history in a way nothing else can

soap's whole deal being sniper and demolitions gets me going bc on the surface they sound so different but when you get into it, you realise it's bc soap's smart

sniping is all math; calculating distances and wind interference and bullet drop. something i think people overlook is he was listed as a sniper first so it can be implied that he's better at it than demolitions. he does more sniping in both campaigns than demolitions work; in capture or kill, ghost specifically calls on him to take down the aq snipers

and demolitions is math with a hit of chemistry; knowing what mixes with what, knowing how much to use, recognising environmental factors and adjusting accordingly. it's not just about the boom; so much work goes into contained/ planned explosions. especially when having enough power for a breacher charge and not bringing down the whole building is the difference between mission success and failure

the chemical bombs he makes in alone can't just be any old cleaners, they have to have the correct reaction to each other; he just knew off the top of his head what would mix with what to create what reaction. he would also potentially have to recognise them by sight/smell bc they would’ve been written in spanish

soap would also have to know architecture; recognising structural integrity and weak points so he knows exactly where to plant a charge to bring it down and how it'll come down

he has an incredible soldier's mind people just forget that bc he's sociable which itself is a skill

we know he tends to buck against orders he doesn't agree with like when he pushes back against ghost in capture or kill and shepherd when he tells them to release hassan

he gets closer to people and sees if he can trust them and that's when he follows them without question. really think about how he talks to alejandro and rudy; he asks about their home and alejandro's family and rudy's relationship with him. those aren't questions you ask a stranger after a few hours of knowing them. that's not even touching on his relationship with ghost

he also deliberately brings people of higher ranks down to his level; talking informally with ghost and giving him a shoulder punch, addressing alejandro (a colonel!!) by his first name and rudy by his nickname despite literally just meeting them. he personalises all of them and it’s in direct opposition to the reason most characters do that; it’s not due to insubordination or lack of respect, the more he respects and trusts someone, the more casual he is with them

he digs into people; he wants to know what makes them tick and that determines if he can one, trust them and two, follow their orders. once he decides that, he's the ultimate soldier; he bleeds loyalty which makes him vicious when that loyalty is taken for granted

he isn't naive or bubbly or insecure; he's an incredibly smart and aware soldier. he's aggressive and bloodthirsty and loyal and intuitive and i love him so much

how did we all collectively agree that if skk had rings, chuuya would wear his under his glove and dazai would wear his as a necklace

the skk hive mind is as strong as their bond atp

wweblr discussing jhea this week like

BUT NO YOURE COOKING

like there’s still so much strength in being vulnerable and accepting help/protection so you’re 100% right, this is still strong, capable, badass Rhea, she’s just getting a chance to let her walls down and be vulnerable and I love that 🥺

ill be real I think the appeal for jhea for me is that like. he’s not a man she has to mommy. he’s not a man who thinks she’s helpless and needs constant protecting. he’s her Equal, they’re Partners, they back each other up to make the other stronger

tbh I couldn’t for the life of me pick a color palette I liked And Render it so I gave up on color. Enjoy the half assery.

Tbh I’ve just been call it Ithacan Naga, but it’s objectively it’s a mix of snake, owl/bird, and human. So 🤷.

Tbh the wings are supposed to be white/gray-brown, cause owls & Hermes, while his scales are supposed to be an oscillating scale from sea green-blue to purple-tinted gray. Uhm. Evidently that sorta didn’t happen but also did. So.

The purple/grayer scales are gonna be more around with the feathers and wings.

Those fin colors are. Too blue and too bright but I love the colors themselves so they’re staying for now.

Uhm. That’s it for now, ig. I’m sorta on a timer rn and I’m tired so <3

The writing bit with this is still in the works (😭)

This 4th of July I’m stealing the patriotism euphoria that’s usually associated with assholes idolizing the worst attributes of this country because fuck ‘em I live here too and remembering the things this country actually got Right is an important exercise when trying to rally anyone to want to defend it in November SO putting my money where my mouth is I’ll start easy and say I really like National Parks!! It’s rad how many of them there are and how they’re actual set up to preserve some of the most beautiful wild areas in our country while still letting people visit to enjoy and experience nature!! (Less important but I love how they put national parks on the quarters I think that’s real fun)

Feel free to add on if something speaks to ya!
