A cobweb in the attic gathers dust... But a cobweb in the outdoors gathers dewdrops that scintillate in the sun. Get out. Find your hope. Read the Earth. It is an extraordinary book: full color, stereo sound, wonderful aromas, the wind. It is an extraordinary planet. —David Brower

Azran Legacy (Parker’s Version)

[SCENE: The underground cave where the girl is frozen]

Professor Sycamore (PS): Imagine, Professor Layton. This girl could unlock ALL of the secrets of the Azran society- you yourself are the one who proved of the Azran’s existence in the first place and I myself am a preeminent scholar in the field. Together, we would uncover the greatest archeologist discovery of all time!

Professor Layton (PL): *is silent, his hand up to his mouth as he thinks*

PS: You seem uncertain… Why, we would be legends!

PL: Yes… but have you considered the cost?

PS: I assure you, money is of no object. Not when on the edge of something so… so enormous!

PL: I speak not of money. Have you considered the cost?

PS: …I don’t understand.

PL: Yes, I proved the existence of the Azrans… but I wish I hadn’t. The price I paid was too high. I lost something I could never recover.

PS: Yes, I heard about your friend. But… he was found to be alive and well, was he not?

PL: He’s changed. And even that aside, what about the years I lost, blaming myself? Every tear I brushed away for him? Every night I woke up in a cold sweat, desperately reaching for a phantom? And for what? Fame? Glory? Money? In the time since I’ve earned enough of all three. Enough to know that the pain I suffered, and the wounds that eventually turned to scars that I will have to carry with me permanently and no amount of prestige or paycheck can give me back that childhood innocence or erase the years of suffering. No, Professor Sycamore. I want nothing to do with the Azran’s legacy. It is a curse, not a gift, and I would advise you to abandon it as well, until you find your obsession has left you with nothing left to lose.

[PROFESSOR LAYTON turns away, EMMY and LUKE in tow]

PS: You’re nothing but a coward! Running away, the second you get close to something big!

PL: *stops, but doesn’t turn, merely pulling his hat down over his eyes* No. I’m a gentleman. And a true gentleman always knows when it’s time to go.

[They all leave, though EMMY turns and gives PROFESSOR SYCAMORE a one finger salute before they go]

Why do Priests read so much Sherlock Holmes?

Well he keeps talking about Elementary so it has to show up eventually right?

Several listings of it are up on the Internet Archive :)

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

US followers, you need to deny Trump the presidency at all costs.

There’s a lot more work to do on top of voting but you need to get out and vote against him.

Here’s how to check your voter registration status.

[inkbotkowalski]

Baffled by the people on this hellsite genuinely thinking that Trump will stop sending bombs for genocide(s). The whole fucking world depends on the USA not becoming more fascist. People will get murdered in droves regardless; but less so if you vote for the Shit Light party instead of the Full On Shit party. jfc. Go vote. Maybe read up on Project 2025 while you're at it.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

The Jamil Viper decision tree when he is (most unfortunately) caught off guard (please disregard the fact that he does in fact have a hood in the "object nearby" branch. he is simply panicked.)

Kim Kitsuragi is a fascinating character because there's not that much fun or interesting or compelling about him. And yet somehow over the course of playing Disco Elysium the game rewires your fucking brain around him. He's the middest man you've ever seen in both appearance and personality but at some point he says something kind to you or something critical of you and you feel like you just got hit by a truck and you need his approval like you need oxygen and like how tf did this happen. what are you

caterina's datamined character description calling her korean-italian and early lucanis designs having him look east asian . i'll just do everything myself i guess

assorted thoughts: caterina is fully 'korean' or whatever the thedas equivalent would be in this design, and clawed her way to the top of the crow food chain after years of work. their armor is something caterina forcibly incorporated to distinguish house dellamorte from the other crows, and a symbol of their status because they get it custom made or imported. of course race-equivalents do not really exist in thedas or this world but i also will never forget how gaider just implied (east) asian people don't exist in thedas because it just so happens that there are no asians on the continent of thedas (guy who forgot about boats) . explode and die. there's not the same kind of discrimination as exists irl ofc (and the dellamortes are actually treated fine, much better than a mage or elf) but a level of xenophobia against foreigners from a different continent. illario looks the least like her, and passes for being fully antivan, which changes how he is recieved by the other crows.

and sorry if the korean is bad please actually let me know if it's horribly translated i relied on google translate . if you are one of ten asian dragon age fans feel free to talk to me at any given moment.
