"Dinosaurs lived sixty five million years ago. What is left of them is fossilized in the rocks, and it is in the rock that real scientists make real discoveries. Now what John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less."

day 10 - dusk

Ajisai knew hunger; it'd been a dull aching thing in her belly that, left unfed, grew teeth and claws. Ajisai knew hunger and so she hated Yuhelmeric. Only a man of faith would be so foolish as to listen for an eikon that never answers while his men begged for their lives. And when they'd tried to save themselves, what did he do? He killed them, slaughtered them like animals, and served them to the survivors. Savage, indeed.

As embarrassing as it is to admit, Astarion's pick up lines would work on me but only because I have zero experience being flirted with and he's literally so gorgeous I wouldn't even be able to pay attention to half of what he's saying.

He'd be giving his whole goofy ass cringey "our collective ecstasy" bs and I'd just be hearing white noise in my head from my brain short-circuiting.

There are plenty of shows I don't watch because I'm just not interested. But on the other hand, there are also a lot of shows I don't watch because I know I'd get way too into them, and I just don't have the time

PJO: we need to recognize the value of the minor gods. The Olympians are important, sure, but the minor gods do a lot of work in maintaining and assisting the pantheon, have their own kids and deserve to be seen and valued just as much

HoO: Back at it again with Olympian-only nonsense!

saturday, august 12 day 6: Benji getting hurt on a mission because of something Ethan does (direct or in-direct); Benji having to assure Ethan he’s not blaming him (@benthan-week-forever)

They were on a mission. They were on a mission and Ethan made a mistake. They were on a mission and Ethan made a mistake that caused Benji to get injured. He blamed himself. Of course he did. He couldn't help but feel responsible for everything, despite knowing deep down that it wasn't entirely his fault; that he couldn't be in control 100% of the time. But that didn't stop him from feeling guilty. It manifested in several ways (but it was always the same):

Guilt: He was consumed by it; blaming himself for the injury that befell Benji. He believed that he should have been more careful, more vigilant, and that his actions had directly led to Benji's harm. This guilt weighed heavily on him, causing him to question his abilities and judgment as an agent - as a partner.

Self-doubt: The incident shook his confidence in himself - in his decisions. He began to doubt his skills and capabilities, wondering if he was truly fit for the dangerous world they inhabited. He questioned whether he deserved to have someone like Benji in his life, fearing that he would only bring harm to those he cared about.

Emotional turmoil: His self-blame and guilt created a whirlwind of emotions within him. He felt a mix of anger, sadness, and frustration, directed mostly towards himself. The thought of losing Benji, the person he loved the most, intensified these emotions, making it difficult for him to find solace or peace of mind.

Overprotectiveness: In the aftermath of the incident, he became overly protective of Benji. He was afraid to let him out of his sight, fearing that any harm that might befall him would be his fault once again. It stemmed from his desire to shield his lover from any further danger and to make amends for what had happened.

But this was not about him. This was about Benji. Benji - the love of his life - bleeding, bruising, hurting. Ethan was patching him up, trying to make him as comfortable as possible. Benji looked up at the older one, his eyes filled with love and tenderness, sensing the brunette's inner struggle - the viciouis circle of Ethan blaming himself over what happened (because he always did; carrying the weight of this world on his shoulders).

"It's not your fault, Ethan," he said, his voice soft and reassuring. "These things happen, and we can't always control them."

Ethan looked at the blonde, his heart filled with gratitude and love. He knew that Benji was right - in a way - but he just couldn't help feeling responsible for what had happened.

"I'm sorry, Benji," he said, his voice filled with regret. "I should have been more careful. It's my fault that-"

Benji reached out and took Ethan's hand, squeezing it gently.

"You did everything you could, Ethan," he said, his voice filled with compassion. "You're a great partner, and I wouldn't want anyone else by my side."

Ethan felt a wave of relief wash over him, knowing that Benji didn't blame him for what had happened (he never did). He leaned in closer, his hand still carefully holding Benji's bruised one.

"I love you, Benji," he whispered.

Benji smiled, his eyes sparkling with love. "I love you too, Ethan," he replied, his voice filled with tenderness.

As they lay there, cuddled in bed together, their love giving them strength and comfort. They knew that they were meant to be together, and they were grateful for every moment they had.

yk i probably should have gotten my stomach pumped a few(?) hours ago but i passed out instead and now im making myself chicken nuggets and if that's not a sign that god is playing me like a kazoo then idk what is

I need to reread the comics again to have specific arguments/evidence for this, but like

I feel a bit like I could've been sympathetic to the way other Cybertronian colonies view Cybertron, if it weren't for the fact that at least several of them (as in, ones that get notable dialogue/screen time) are so low-key self-righteous?

Like, idk... there's a lot of criticism of Cybertronians because they're so "warlike" and how their obsession with violence and vengeance is just dragging the whole galaxy down with them, but uh. The Autobot-Decepticon war was basically a product of societal ills bubbling over for like 6 million years beforehand and then finally boiling over into a 4 million year war that lasted as long as it did because the people involved had immense social/psychological trauma from being "raised" in an oppressive society.

So when the colonists come in being all 'omg you people are so violent and uncivilized why don't you just like, stop fighting' it kind of pissed me off a little bit as a reader/person like. Idk the colonists really came into this society of people full of massive amounts of trauma where even before the war society was super oppressive and no one has any experience of living "normal" lives unaffected by violence and bigotry. And the colonists were like "ummm wow why don't you guys just??? stop fighting???." Like idk it wasn't EVERY SINGLE MOMENT, in fact I think that when it was played for laughs it's quite a funny "fridge horror" type element. It was just annoying because like.... IDK???? It's just really annoying to watch a bunch of people who lived relatively sheltered lives on their own planets come to a different planet full of traumatized people and be like "omg why are you people so fucked up" IDK BRO MAYBE BECAUSE THEIR SOCIETY WAS OPPRESSIVE AND THEY LIVED THROUGH A LIFELONG WAR???

It also doesn't help that the colonies were literally founded based on imperialism and conquest so like, it's fucking rich to hear colonists scolding Cybertronians for their violence ruining the whole galaxy while literally sitting on planets that their Primes colonized from others. The hypocrisy of this is briefly mentioned in Unicron (literally the FINAL STORY OF THE SERIES) but like, that's basically the only time Cybertronian characters are given a reprieve of sympathy from other characters in universe and it's so tiresome.

I've talked to other people who didn't like the colonists and thought they basically (narratively speaking) existed just to shit on the existing characters, and it's actually really easy for me to sympathize with/outright agree with that assessment of the story considering how much of exRID/OP seems to be preoccupied with "Cybertron/the Primes/Optimus sucks" with very few reprieves for anything positive happening and even fewer chances for characters to get to explain themselves and experience a little bit of justice? Like, as the audience, it's just very frustrating to see the characters you spent hundreds of issues keeping up with get shit on by a bunch of "literally-who"s and then not really get a chance to ever defend themselves, either by literally defending themselves in conversation or having some sort of narrative thing happening that vindicates them at least symbolically
