#Earth vs Space

[nonasbirthday]

If you were going to make a character that was the soul of planet earth in a human body you might think to make her motherly. Wise. Forgiving. Mother Earth cares for us, she provides, right? But Tamsyn Muir wrote Nona the Ninth and said YES planet earth is loving but also she is SO SO ANGRY and HURTING. And actually she cannot care for others right now she needs to be cared FOR.

Also she wants to eat pencils and she thinks flowers are sexy.

#I just think that the very specific ways the 'mother earth' thing is followed vs. the ways it is inverted are very interesting #she's beautiful and monstrous. she's desperate for a champion. she's hurt. she's powerful. she's not ready to forgive. #she needs to be loved. she needs to be cared for before she can heal #i try to tell people about TLT and it's like well it's about necromancers and identity and forgiveness and CLIMATE CHANGE #it's about imperialism and stagnation and homestuck references #but more than anything it's about gay space juggalos #but the climate change piece is definitely there you know. #nona the ninth #the locked tomb #alecto tlt #nonasbirthday #sticking this on the fridge

Honestly knowing how All For One is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he kept Yoichi’s body on ice somewhere for the past 100+ years,

winter soldierize your weak little brother so he can be STRONG and OBEDIENT.

#bnha #shigaraki yoichi #shih's art #asks #anon #afo: what a shame i could never make you mine! #(because yoichi demanded that he'd rather be turned to ash #and scattered to the winds before being buried #in a lightless solitary space beneath the earth #; though he's been AWFUL quiet these past shigafo vs deku chapters)

It’s interesting to see how G-Witch flips the traditional Gundam dynamic of space vs. earth, with people from earth being the economically exploited underclass while space is (seen as) the domain of the ultra-wealthy. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is in response to increasing discussions of space colonization specifically among the wealthy, particularly men like Musk.

#alex.txt #g witch #gundam the witch from mercury #classic u.c. space vs. earth is a diaspora of economic refugees #while space vs. earth in g witch is the wealthy fleeing the polluted world they brought about (while continuing to squeeze profit from it) #it also feels a tad asimov but that might just be my asimov obsession speaking

Broke: Atsushi Vs Akutagawa

Woke: Fyodor Vs Dazaj

H Y P E R W O K E: Nikolai Vs Chuuya

I said what I said.

#i have nothing against sskk #but tjere are much better rivalries in the series #i want a nikolai vs chuuya #just imagine #nikolai with his space altering ability vs chuuya and his gravity defying ability #it's going to ve so epic #and the fact that they could either be besties or worst enemies #like chuuya could think nikolai was the most annoying poece of shit on earth #or pity him because he thinks nikolai is getting looped into Fyodor's bs like how he is for dazai #nakahara chuuya #nikolai gogol #fyodor dostoevsky #dazai osamu #shin soukoku #sskk #akutagawa ryuunosuke #nakajima atsushi

I desperately need to talk about it but its just where am i beginning here

#i have notes and i have lists and i have drawings like everywhere #listen now that ive written down Space a bit- him being a more serious person helps with Eclipse and Lunar in this au vs Earth's #im gonna try getting some stuff together here to explain a bit moree

The Doctor: So you intend to hold the universe to ransom.

The Master: Doctor... why don't you come in with me. we're both Timelords. We're both renegades. We could be masters of the galaxy. Think of it Doctor. Absolute power -- power for good, ah, you could reign benevolently. You could end war, suffering, disease. We could save the universe.

The Doctor: No. Absolute power is evil!

The Master: Consider carefully doctor. I'm offering you a half-share in the universe. You must see reason, Doctor.

The Doctor: No. I will not join you in your absurd dreams of a galactic conquest!

The Master: Why? why? Look at this: Look at all those planetary system, Doctor. we could rule them all!

The Doctor: What for? what's the point?

The Master: The point is that one must rule or serve, that's a basic law of life. why do you hesitate Doctor? surely it's not loyalty to the Timelords, who exiled you on one insignificant planet.

The Doctor: You'll never understand, will you? I want to see the universe, not rule it!

The Master: Then I'm very sorry, Doctor...

#the doctor #the master #doctor who #classic!who #c0lony in space #it's so so fascinating that this push and pull between them was there from the beginning #sure the master tries to kill them occasionally but it's different for timelords #their whole take on morality (an mortality) when they're together is so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #and see again: timelord attitudes towards earth vs the doctor's affection for it (and for humans)

i know doctor who has never been Perfect, and i love capaldi, i love twelve, but christ alive its a hard watch sometimes

#toy txt post #they just made him so egregiously and blatantly RACIST? like to the point where im like was this like? an on purpose characterization #choice that i just strongly disagree with? or like? is it a consequence of the writers trying to be less racist by including more #characters of color but failing by not checking their own implicit biases so now not only is the doctor racist but like. egregiously so bc #theres so many more opportunities for him to be racist? like just #and if youre sitting here like hes not!!! how dare you: pay attention to the difference in how he treats characters of color vs white chars #he hates soldiers. okay fine thats been fairly consistent. okay but 12 RLY hates them. he hates them so much he cant stand Claras bf Danny #who should be the doctors like ideal soldier bc he was a soldier who didnt want to be anymore and just wants to chill and do good in the #world and for ppl to be safe so hes just a nice math teacher and the doctor calls him stupid and treats him as if hes fucking rambo? but #the doctor is largely fine with: kate lethbridge stewart? hes fine with ogood who may not be a soldier in her own right but shes actively #participating in UNIT as a scientist in a way thats way more ~soldiery~ than anything Danny is doing? and like they clearly wanted that to #be a point of tension to point out the doctors hypocrisy of how the doctor is like a high ranking officer/general whatever #and like thats fine and fair to point out but it just sucks that they do all that and dont seem ti realize how fuckijg racist they wrote #him? he was fucking besties with winston goddamn churchill but he refuses whatshername. journey blue? as a companion bc #shes a soldier. well bro you could make her not a soldier by removing her from the fucking battlefield maybe instead of getting morally #outraged about it? not to mention noticing how when he goes from '900 yrs of space and time and ive never met anyone who wasnt important' #wandering around being fine with UNIT apparently declaring him dictator of earth in emergencies (HELLO?) but dont worry he'll let us know #he disapproves by picking some random UNIT guy to be a really condescending asshole to. pay no attention to the fact that this UNIT #guy happens to be another character of color. ~the 12th doctor is too faceblind you cant call him racist~ well for a guy who cant tell #humans apart from sontarans his accidentaly racism beam is off the charts. its crazy. god #god i wish he'd gotten written better than this #when they do write him good they write him good. but godddddddd its so #doctor who

Blown away by what a bad boring boss fight singularity is lmao

Severely unimpressive, not hard so much as annoying occasionally, mostly pretty easy gameplay-wise in fact, and like. You're absolutely crushing his ass before the cutscene starts and goes "whoops Bayonetta is dying now I guess"

Like him being able to break out of witch time isn't that impressive but it's treated like oh my god Bayonetta is completely wowed and unable to respond now like she can't dodge bullets fighting Jeanne, whom witch time doesn't work on.

Like compared to Jeanne Balder Jubileus Loptr and even Luka it's...a lame boss fight! He's serving nothing! And this is the boss to end all bosses that Bayonetta can't beat. 3 Bayonettas can't beat. A guy who throws swords at you and dumps sludge everywhere.

#as if Bayonetta even needs to walk #I get it. She did the do o ia on two demons. Blasted him to space. Flew to space. Fought him in space. #Knocked him back down to earth. Fell down to earth herself and hit the statue of liberty. #she's tired. His only notable ability is being able to infinitely heal until he doesn't. Something something Buddhism I guess. #unstoppable force vs immovable object that just has to last until she's tired herself out. #it's fucking lame.

“From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner.

How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate.

Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.

To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

Night in the Woods and Pathologic 2 are literally the same game, beyond a few superficial contrasts in presentation there isn’t a single difference.

#this is a vaguepost @ my sister #it is a joke but also if you try to challenge this statement i WILL defend it #*ahem* in this game you play as someone returning to their small town after having left for college (which they did not complete) #the character is honestly great. sarcastic little shit who might stab you but has a heart of gold and is a hero of the people. #the town is a part of you but you're also separate. your home feels like it changed but maybe you're the one who's different. #the town itself is a character. the autumnal atmosphere is not only beautiful but also perfectly ties in with the story's themes of change #the central conflict to the setting of course being the tensions between the past/tradition and the future/progress #drastic measures are employed in order to fight back against all the inevitabilities of industrialization involving ancient powers that be #and you're left to unravel its secrets and address it in just under two weeks before more people get killed #the game is set around 12 days plus a prologue and an epilogue #anyway. you arrive in town and go to your parents house and get in touch with three childhood friends. nothing is the same as when you left. #day 1 will also slap you in the face with a murder mystery but it's far too early for the full scope of the story to be revealed #in the following few days you get to explore the town and choose which npc's to spend time with #the game is designed so that you never have the time to do everything. many events will be locked forever if you don't do them on given days #your character is brash and possibly even violent but still finds themself mentoring kids and showing kindness to strangers #you also talk with a number of older more engrained members of the community and learn about the town's history and spirituality from them #there's a stark contrast between the full and bustling streets vs the abundance of abandoned spaces and empty buildings #you'll also discover that your dreams are packed with meaning and symbolism and will sometimes even see you commune with supernatural forces #tensions will rise as you uncover more and more pieces of the mystery. this ultimately culminates in a journey into the earth below the town #your character visits the magical pit that resides there where you learn the final truths of the story and can finally put it all together #you make a fateful choice in hopes of saving the town and the game ends allowing you to wander it one last time to see the results #you can take your time and when you're ready to end the game you return to a stage you've visited so often for your final goodbyes #of course the similarities don't end there. the weather. the rats. earth/sky dichotomies. the discussions of labor movements. #the church conspicuously lacking any christian iconography. the giant animals as a representation of god but also not. the color palettes. #the human characters who look like stylized dogs and birds. the empty theater. man i could go on forever. #they even each have a side story where you play as a traveling scholar trying to unravel the secrets that lie beyond the veil of death #if i were a games youtuber i would make this into a 20 minute video with spliced footage from both games #for those who don't get the joke nitw has the coziest vibes my side of gaming despite its inherent sadness and patho2 is a survival horror
