#whale justice

I had to draw the mental image I got every time a story came out about whales attacking yachts.

Prompt 172

So the team might be a bit lost. And a bit in danger. And were separated but have at least fixed that. 

But it’s definitely not their fault right? After all, you can’t expect anything when fighting Klarion! But uh, there’s something big approaching through the green and floating things, like big enough to make waves, and no one wants to get anywhere close to whatever it is. 

Danny- newly molted into his adult ghost-form- just wants to say hello to his sort-of cousin’s friends, and would like to also get them away from the deep area of the Zone where the beings would not be afraid to nab a living being for a collection or two.

So lemme get this straight: Ishmael’s clearly unhealthy obsession with whales as evidenced by his infodumping 500 gazillion cetology factoids of questionable provenance is “cute” and “world literature”, but when I, Ahab —

Kind of want to see a panel or fic where the League shows up and helps Aquaman and Mera get a pod of stranded whales back into the sea. Between their powers and Aquaman's abilities, the whales actually make it to sea and survive.

Swimming with whale sharks is a touristic attraction in several places in the world, but you need to make sure their management is environmental friendly. Some places will dump pounds and pounds of dead krill in the waters to attract and keep the sharks around, then surround them with hundreds of tourists at once. These are not natural ways, and can be stressful and even harmful for the sharks!

— Are you sure Burke wants to buy Collinwood? — Yes, he said so. I'm just afraid it's only the beginning of what he wants.

Ahab glimpsing salvation and choosing to continue his path to certain damnation/destruction has me feeling all sorts of ways.

But pity there was none. For all his old age, and his one arm, and his blind eyes, he must die the death and be murdered, in order to light the gay bridals and other merry-makings of men, and also to illuminate the solemn churches that preach unconditional inoffensiveness by all to all.

I think the reason why Childe doesn’t have a vision story is not because he already has a delusion one, but because how he obtained his vision involves spoilers for the story. Specifically, I think it involves Childe learning some of celestias secrets. I have 4 main reasons for this

Hydro visions are typically given to people with a strong sense of justice or moral code.

The abyss absolutely has more information about Celestia in it, considering it and Celestia are enemies, and because we have seen members of the abyss order hunt for information on Celestia in game (ex: Lisa’s story quest)

Childe probably got his vision in the abyss

Childe is extremely loyal to the Tsaritsa because he believes it is the best future for all of Snezhnaya (stated in his trailer at the end where he voices over a letter sent to his sister Tonia) and the Tsaritsas goal appears to be gathering the gnoses to overthrow Celestia.

Where am I going with this? Well Childe in game has a very strong moral code and his own set of rules which he follows, at a glance this isn’t apparent (he seems very chaotic from the outside) but once you interact with him more you are made aware of this (also by moral code I don’t mean “good person” I mean he has a set of morals he strongly adheres to). For example, he will never try to harm innocent people or people he deems weaker than himself, respects anyone stronger than him even if he doesn’t like them, is extremely loyal to the Tsaritsa and will put her ambitions over his own feelings, treats his subordinates well and is polite to every stranger he meets regardless of if they are his enemy or not, goes out of his way to help children (photo event in inazuma), cares about his family to a point of embarrassing himself in front of his own troops, and probably more that I’m forgetting. However we don’t really have an explanation of where this behavior comes from, but when you put these pieces of information together it starts to make sense. Childe got his hydro vision in the abyss, which means he probably developed most of his moral code and rules OR his experiences in the abyss set up the foundations of that code. Continually, since hydro visions are also given to those with a strong sense of justice (and you know the whole “is this how justice is done in Fontaine?”) perhaps he witnessed one of Celestias injustices in the abyss.

What is think is that Childe learned what happened to khan’reia down there (I did not spell that right 😭) as well as some other information about Celestia which we aren’t privy to yet, and he was so horrified and disgusted that he got a vision from it, maybe even the fact than the abyss itself was horrifying is what caused him to hate Celestia (I forget if the abyss itself predates Celestia but the abyss order formed after khan’reias destruction. So this might be a “Jesus Christ these people are horrible and they horrible because of something YOU did”). Then, upon leaving the abyss he was put into the fatui by his parents and to satisfy his own bloodlust, but gained a loyalty to the Tsaritsa upon learning about her true motivations and became a harbinger.

nano day 5

total word count: 1781; 1424 towards main wip, 357 towards fic!

i finished the third scene of cryptids wip which is great but also it was kind of a drag to write :/ Not too happy with how it turned out but it’s a starting point. On the bright side, I’m officially 5k into the story! a little short if I’m trying to write 50k exclusively towards the novel, BUT i have 8k *overall* which *is* on track for the 50k ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but again, we’re not worrying about that (<— is starting to worry about it)

Unpopular opinion: there is no bloody fatphobia in The Whale and people need to chill the fuck out.

For starters, good luck finding a decent-sized pool of 600 lb actors of that gender, appearance, acting abilities, who fits the part on an intrinsic 'vibes' level, etc to choose from. How many 600 lb actors do you think are out there, and available? And more importantly, people gotta realize how hard it is to do anything when you have that much weight! And filmmaking is stressful. Add the rigors of filmmaking and being on set constantly, and you have a recipe for disaster. Literally a liability. The production might not even get approved because there's such a big chance of something going wrong.

The film didn't even make fun of fat people or stigmatize it. Charlie was fat because he was sad, not the other way around. But being fat also made him miserable in some ways. That's just what happens with a lot of morbidly obese people. It's not fun to be that fat. The movie takes the subject matter seriously and it doesn't glamorize it.

So like, people gotta stop. They're just losing their shit as soon as they hear the words 'fat suit' and ascribing a negative judgment to that, then trying to find things that are wrong, like, gasp, someone having a bad time because they're morbidly obese, even though the logic behind their anger doesn't check out and it wouldn't even be SAFE for the actor if they did find one. But sure, hire someone with genuine morbid obesity of that extent.

Maybe when they die of heart failure two weeks into shooting, people will eat their words.

And yes, morbid obesity is dangerous. You literally can't be 600 lbs and be functionally healthy! The pressure all that extra weight puts on your organs alone is dangerous, your skeleton doesn't change to accommodate anything, your body is constantly under stress. If anyone denies this, it's super, super obvious they're in denial of just how big of a problem morbid obesity is. That part isn't an opinion, it's physics, it's science, it's reality. There are autopsy videos of morbidly obese people who donated their bodies for science. They show all the effects and explain them for educations sake. Go watch a few. Or go read some studies.

https://gofund.me/f489e577 Hello, how are you? I hope you are well. I am Celine from Gaza. I started this campaign to raise money to help me rebuild my family's life after losing everything in Gaza😥. All that remains of our house is the rubble and our memories that have turned to ash💔. My family and I barely escaped with our lives, leaving behind everything we owned. Now, we are in Egypt, struggling to rebuild our lives from scratch. The war left us with nothing but the clothes we wear and the painful memories of what we lost. We need your help to find a safe place to live, to provide for our children, and to start over. With your support, we can restore our hope and rebuild our family's future. Please consider donating to our campaign🙏🏻. Your generosity can make a huge difference in our lives.🙌🏻❤️
