Good morning. But friendly reminder that my Bruce doesn't follow the DC comic code of no killing. Kill your fascists. Kill your abusers. Kill your rapists. Punitive justice enforced by a centuries old system held up by some old white guys you've never met isn't the only valid form of justice and justice in its purest sense is what bats is fighting for.

#with that said #pls dont kill in front of him #Hes just an itth bitty baby #happy 🌈#violence isnt the only way for systemic Change but it sure does help!#𝙸𝙳 : [ text post . ]

Since my last history related poll was fun, and the perception of time periods is fascinating....

(if you reblog and add tags, I'd also like to know where you usually study or read about)

Edit: for those who wanted more specific divisions of earlier periods: I wanted to add more but there are only so many slots allowed on a Tumblr poll.

#histblr #i skewed this towards the time periods where historians call themselves “modernists” intentionally #with that said #debating what modernity is and when it starts is a favorite activity of historians #there is no consensus

The them, the lil fellas, now in coffee shop AU C:

Some ✨lore✨ under the cut

Minilla was adopted by Gojira when Minya was a baby still. He wishes he could hang out around his dad more often. Minya likes to "help" his father cook on weekends tho (when Goji gets everything done so Biollante can just heat up their food) and watch Masterchef.

Suko was abandoned when he was a toddler and has little to no memory of how his mother looked like, but still has some hope of finding his parents again. He really look out to when Kong visits the orphanage and he sees him nearly as a hero. Besides Kong, he's very close the orphanage's old janitor, Joshua (Gnarled Fingers).

He's eventually adopted by Kong and Goji and he thinks Goji's scars are the coolest thing ever.

the power going out at Joker Out's concert today because of the weather, the crowd continuing the song when they couldn't, Bojan leading a prayer for the electricity to come back on, then Joker Out improvising and essentially doing an acoustic concert with Kris' guitar and one working microphone (??) while the crowd provides the backing vocals

is truly one of the most inspiring, heartwarming things I've seen lately. It's silly and it's "just a concert" and there's bigger problems in the world and whatnot but.... just the sheer joy, unity, and perseverance exhibited by everyone there. JO not cancelling the concert when they very well could've just given up and said "welp, nothing we can do." The crowd supporting them and lifting them up and being understanding and sticking around instead of going home, even though it was probably wet and cold and dark and miserable. Everything about it seems utterly magical and I'm a little sad this wasn't the concert I got to go to.

#joker out #with that said #zicka kartuzija get your stage setup together

EUCLID ANALYSIS.

Told you guys it was coming, didn't I? I apologise that this has taken a bit longer than expected, my mental health hit me like a bullet train, but I do hope it's sufficient.

Part one -> You're already here!

Part two -> Line by line analysis part 1

Part three -> Line by line analysis part 2

Part four -> Musical/intrumental notes

Part five -> The Night in Sleep Token

Part six -> Conclusion

Please note this is a general analysis. Although I do go into theories, both my own and others, this is just general thoughts. Also note when I speak of Vessel, I mean Vessel as a character, not the person, unless I specifically state so.

Tagline: @rilllvri @a-s-levynn @fivewholeminutes @euclidsvessel @tonguetyd @moonchild-in-blue @kkarmatic @branches-in-a-flood

+ Some people were worried about spam liking/reblogging the last time I did one of these big analysis posts, and I want to say please don't worry about that! I get happy when I see the same users pop up liking and reblogging my work, because it means you're interested in this enough to go through the whole thing. Feel completely free to add your own thoughts, correct any errors I've made etc. As per usual, my DMs are completely open to anybody wanting to discuss ST <3

Let's start off with the basics. ‘Euclid’ is the anglicised version of the Greek name Eukleídes (Εὐκλείδης), mainly known via the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, who is seen as the ‘father of geometry’, and most famous for his work on symmetry. Its general definition is something or someone who is renowned and or glorious (A) and the lesser known definition is something that is a copy of the same (B) (taken from Euclid’s ideas on symmetry), which we’ll come back to in a bit.

However, there is another Euclid in history that we’ll be referencing; Euclid of Megara. This Euclid, similar to our mathematician, was an ancient Greek Socratic (having been a pupil of Socrates) philosopher. I’ll be taking part of a text out of his Wikipedia article since his ideas have been explained thoroughly there.

(we'll be coming back to him soon)

First off, this is an incredibly interesting choice of name for a song. Outside of someone's maths and philosophy class, this name doesn't exist to most, so the fact it's been chosen at all is intriguing.

Vessel has shown time and time again he enjoys sometimes elaborate references in his art, an example being chemistry and biology in TPWBYT (most notable would probably be ‘Telomeres’), so, I think it would be easy to say that, whether it be a reference to Euclid the Mathematician or Euclid the philosopher, that said reference is understood and intended by Vessel.

So, let's start with our mathematician, shall we?

What I find interesting about Euclid of Alexandria is that his life and existence outside of his work on geometry is almost completely unknown. There's almost nothing known of him, as a person, other than where he spent half of his career (Alexandria; Egypt, hence his title), where he may have studied (Platonic academy) and a general idea of when he lived (around 300BC). What is known about this insanely famous man who created the foundations of symmetry is incredibly barebones. People take Euclid at face value for his work, just like Vessel (both as an artist, and a character).

Further, we, as listeners, don't have much of an understanding of who Vessel is other than being a mouthpiece of a deity known as Sleep, someone once human now grasping at the threads of humanity and someone sharing some of his struggles in life (both with Sleep and unknown people). Like Euclid, he is barebones, we take him at face value; a vessel. He is both a mouthpiece for Sleep, a mouthpiece for his own emotions (obviously) and a mouthpiece for us. His experiences transcend being just his, due to his anonymity, therefore allowing us to connect and express our own experiences. It's music for the sake of music; expression.

Now, having talked through Euclid as a person, it's time to talk about Euclid and his symmetry. Symmetry in shapes is 'reflections, rotations, translations, and combinations of these basic operations. Under an isometric transformation, a geometric object is said to be symmetric if, after transformation, the object is indistinguishable from the object before the transformation- a copy of the same’. So, of course, this means shapes like squares, rectangles, parallelograms and circles. Circles are a representation of infinity, wholeness, unity and loops. What does Euclid do? Loop itself (starts and ends with B major, which also happens to be the same chord that TNDNBTG starts with), and loops the three albums together, musically and lyrically.

Now, onto Euclid of Megara.

Euclid was born in Megara, Athens and was a follower of Socrates (sneaking into Athens to hear him speak, and he was also present during his death). He is most known for his philosophy that good is the knowledge of simply being and that the opposite of good does not exist, aka evil. The Good is described to be a perfect, eternal, and changeless Form, existing outside space and time. A form of Heaven without a God.

This idea could be linked lore-wise with Sleep Token; Sleep could, in a way, be The Good literally. Bliss. Further, with the idea that there is no actual opposite of good, then how can anything be bad? How can Sleep, as a deity, have bad intentions if there is no actual evil?

So far, with these two notable figures in mind, we can perceive Euclid as one of two ways (and there are more ways to come). Euclid can be seen as quite literally being a form of symmetry; a parallel that Vessel lays his life on because it brings all of the produced albums, all of his stories, together. Or, we can think of Euclid as Vessel. This brings me to @euclidsvessel's post on their theory on Euclid; what if Euclid was Vessel’s name before he became a vessel?

The theory that Euclid could be Vessel’s old name is not only extremely insightful, but very plausible as well. They explained their points very well in their original post, and I don't want to repeat what they’ve already said, so I do implore you to go read that! It's not detrimental to needing to understand this post, but I highly recommend it. Despite this, I am here to both support their argument and bring my own comparison. Take a look at the cover art for Euclid:

Let me repeat the lesser-known definition of Euclid; a copy of the same. A clone. A replacement. Held in the right hand is the decapitated head of Vessel's old (2nd gen.) mask. Specifically, the one that covers his mouth; the version that relinquishes the most amount of humanity. The album art is a representation of change portrayed in a symbolically gory way. Beheading, depending on the era you’re working from, symbolises both vengeance as well as a form of purification. By cutting off the head, you remove any ‘unholy’ thoughts. It's also among one of the most horrific and humiliating ways of killing someone (since it was typically done publicly, and sometimes the heads were placed on spikes of battlements as a warning).

Furthermore, there's a theory that's popped up a couple of times, lore-wise, that Vessel is not the first person to be turned into a vessel of Sleep, and he certainly won't be the last. So, considering the literal album art illustrates a replacement of Vessel, I’d say that theory is pretty much confirmed. In conclusion, the album art can either be interpreted as how Vessel will eventually be discarded and replaced by another vessel, or how Vessel himself will change, for better or for worse; clawing out of his own skin to become “someone new”.

So, to compare the idea of Euclid being Vessel’s old name, and to create the third perception of what or rather, who, Euclid is, what if Euclid will be the eventual replacement for Vessel?

#I would like to mention that the idea of a 'Euclid class object's floated around Reddit theories for Euclid as well #said objects are 'anomalies that are either insufficiently understood or inherently unpredictable'#I didn't include this because it's from SCP and I thought it highly unlikely that it could be a refrence to that #but then again; a lot of the lyrics refrence hardware and un-understandable things so I thought I'd say something about it #masaive thank you to Nine for spurring me on to continue writing this and eventually post it with their theory post #just a very big thank you to everybody on ST Tumblr who post any analysis bits because you all inspire me #with that said #I hope these will be interesting for you all <3 #sleep token #st #mel's rambles #euclid #euclid sleep token #sleep token analysis #vessel #vessel sleep token #tmbte #sleep token tmbte #hiding in here that I felt a bit like Hamilton writing these #'John Jay got sick after writing five...James Madison wrote twenty nine...Hamilton wrote the oTHER FIFTY ONE'#apologies to anybody who reads that lmao

PSA for tomorrow’s episode

I know a bunch of y’all (myself included) are really hopeful that we’ll get some Bees in the next episode, and there’s a lot of people monitoring CRWBY’s liking activity to corroborate these theories. But WHATEVER happens guys, if we don’t get Bees despite the hype, or something we didn’t particularly want happens, please please please do not harass CRWBY or start firing out ‘Queerbaiting’, these guys are excited for us to see the work they’ve spent 2 years working on.

And for anyone who’s already on the same page with the above, we all know RWDE will be right there waiting to jump on the opportunity, just ignore any anti-BB and anti-RWBY antagonists that try baiting folk into Queerbaiting and RWDE discourse. (And tbh if we do see what we want to see, it might be worth muting Anons for a minute cos we know they’ll be extra sore). No matter the timing, it won’t make the ship any less valid - the Bees are sealed and delivered.

We’ll have our moment, regardless of whether it happens tomorrow or not, so let’s enjoy the journey. ❤️🌈

#bumbleby #rwby #crwby #with that said #canons at the ready

What is your perspective on the Afghan-Soviet war

It's such a misleading term. It wasn't the Afghan-Soviet war. It was more like a bunch of splintered western/pakistani-backed tribal islamist groups who wished to establish an Islamic emirate under the doctrine of Pakhtunwali vs. the Soviet-backed government.

#with that said #it wasn't the best but it is much better than anything we have right now

So about Frye's recent Splatfest victory...even in the beginning, playing on her team felt different from usual, and I had a suspicion about it... And after reading a tweet about the Autobots vs. Decepticons Splatfest from way back when, the suspicion grew stronger. And after seeing the final results, the suspicion was basically confirmed: The one factor in these lopsided Splatfests that's gone largely overlooked is how well each theme attracts older vs. younger players.

For many sets of themes, like the food themes, this isn't as noticeable. Everyone likes food, so the stats are gonna be muddier. But for more philosophical themes like the one we just had, I think the contrast was strong enough to actually affect the results. 'Save the World' (as it was localized pretty much everywhere outside of Japan) is a VERY kid-oriented option, especially compared to the other two choices. What child wants to do the Same Ol' thing at the end of the world?? How many kids even have a concept of what a 'Bucket List' is (and even if they do, would they recognize the phrase)...?

This would explain why Team Big Man, which usually either matches Team Frye or wins outright, did so poorly this time around...their performance was likely dragged down by an aggressively younger player pool.

It would ALSO explain why the Splatoon developers' obvious attempts to give Frye the most attractive themes kept backfiring: crowd-pleasers tend to attract kids. ^^; Meanwhile, Big Man and Shiver would have older player pools thanks to their more niche options, and end up winning more of the matches anyway.

If they really wanted to hand Frye an easy win after her year-long losing streak, rather than thinking along the lines of "Moldy Shoelace vs. 10-CARAT DIAMOND vs. Piece of Lint", they should have been trying stuff more like "New Club vs. New Apartment vs. New School". Y'know, make sure Frye's theme is something adults specifically can relate to, in order to attract older players (and thus, more experienced players) to her team.

#with that said #i wonder how the splatfests are gonna go from now on #i noticed this one was pretty well balanced- I only had ONE mirror match #hopefully they can keep this up #splatoon 3 #splatfest

I submitted a two part ask a while back, not sure exactly when but I think maybe early Feb? It was to do with limb weakness and mobility as the result of a stroke. It hasn't been answered, and I was wondering if Tumblr ate it and I should resubmit? I wanted to check first though, in case it was still being worked on, or will not be answered at all, so that I don't spam you

Hi! We got it, but I'm unfortunately not very confident in my current ability to answer it in full*, so I'm waiting for other mods who are more knowledgeable than me to weigh in.

*the only parts I'm confident is in that: 1) yes, both a cane (or a crutch) and a brace would be reasonable aids for a hemiplegic character (you might want to check out AFOs as well), 2) a wrist brace would help, but it's not a cure all - the finger strength and dexterity would still be affected, and 3) mental fatigue would probably make symptoms worse, possibly to the point of having to need some other mobility aids (like a wheelchair). If her speech or other non-mobility functions are affected, mental fatigue will play a role in them as well.

Sorry for not being able to help more - if you're fine with that, I can publish the original asks for the community/follower input so maybe you can get your questions answered that way!

Mod Sasza

#mod sasza #surreptitioussunflower #with that said #i don't see anything that would be an immediate 'this is wrong' in your original ask. as someone with only second-hand experience it sounds #reasonable.#but again I'm not an expert. sorry
