if you are genuinely out there claiming that gale "succeeded" in everything he "wanted" by becoming a god and that's why it's a good ending for him, you truly are a testament to the slow and steady death of media literacy congrats lmao

#the entire boat scene in act iii beats you over the head that this is #perceived lack of self-worth and helplessness in the face of death and loss of faith #and indulging him in this is indulging means indulging his first impulse and instinct in response to #the first lifeline he sees for himself in years #unless you can be his lifeline instead #as a friend and as a lover #but that's all okay #it's totally okay for him to sacrifice everything including himself in a bid for power #because he still loves your tav sooo much when he ascends right #he loves them so much he couldn't contact them in six month to let them know he survived ascension lmao #jfc larian really crossed some wires bc the cutscene is pretty i can't #also if your bar for a happy ending for a character is if your tav gets a hug and some kissies while some nice music plays #then maybe you should be careful throwing words around like 'narrow-minded' and 'black/white' lol #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #fandom critical #tbd

People in Washington have belatedly been taking notice that Ukraine, a country with not much of a navy, has chased Putin's fleet out of much of the Black Sea. Things are relatively close to normal for Ukrainian grain exports which use shipping on that sea.

In the Black Sea, Ukraine forced the Russian fleet to retreat from the historic headquarters of Sevastopol in Crimea after hitting ships and key buildings repeatedly with drones and missiles. That was a personal blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who lauded the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014. The maritime success also opened a corridor for Ukraine to move grain shipments in defiance of Russia’s decision last summer to cancel an export deal, an economic and symbolic victory in the war. “Ukraine won in the Black Sea,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a trip to Washington last month. Zelensky has made the Black Sea victories a central part of his pitch to Western allies and supporters in the past couple of months — a sign of Ukrainian strength after the ground counteroffensive launched in June largely failed, delivering a stalemate on the frontlines of eastern Ukraine. “This is huge,” said Olga Lautman, nonresident senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis. “They literally shifted the balance in the Black Sea. … Besides practically reopening the Black Sea, they’ve taken out Russia’s navy and pushed them out for the most part. And the attacks continue.” Ukraine has maintained an edge in the waters of the Black Sea since the war began in February 2022 — and Kyiv does not have a naval force, let alone one the size of the Russian fleet. In the early days of the war, Ukraine secured its hold on Odesa, a Black Sea port city in southern Ukraine, and sunk the Russian flagship the Moskva. Ukrainian troops also liberated Snake Island, where defiant Ukrainian troops emerged famous for cursing at a Russian warship, in spring 2022. In August, Ukraine stepped up attacks on the Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol, a hub for the Russian navy since Moscow annexed Crimea, but which has historical importance for Russia going back to the 1700s. In September, one strike damaged the headquarters of the Russian navy in Sevastopol. That month also saw Ukrainian special forces retake oil platforms in the Black Sea from Russia years after Moscow first seized them. For the next two months, Ukraine kept assaulting Russian ships, leading to a full Russian naval retreat from Sevastopol and western Crimea. After the fall attacks, Zelensky hailed Ukrainian forces for “pushing the Russian navy out to the eastern part of the Black Sea,” saying they “totally changed” the situation in the maritime domain. “Russia can no longer use our sea to expand its aggression to other parts of the world,” Zelensky said in an Oct. 31 address, “Ukraine’s success in the battle for the Black Sea will go down in history books, although it’s not being discussed much today.”

It's become increasingly difficult for Russia to resupply its positions by sea. Last month Ukraine sunk a Russian ship loaded to the brim with munitions. This took place in Feodosia in occupied eastern Crimea which is only 100 km by road from Kerch where Ukraine damaged a bridge which connects occupied Ukraine to Russia.

Despite heavy and embarrassing losses, Putin will not give up his desire to conquer Ukraine unless he is forced to. Ukraine has been holding its own, but it needs help obtaining weapons and equipment. The GOP House of Representatives is holding up aid to Ukraine for its own political purposes. We need to contact our representatives and tell them to quit acting like Putin's agents on Capitol Hill.

Find out who your House member is.

Find Your Representative

Then contact him or her using the contact information given at the site. With Republicans, invoke the name of Ronald Reagan and insist that they quit supporting measures which help the Evil Empire. Be firm but polite.

Is there an actual reason why Chris's eyes change colour? They started off blue, then hazel/brown then back to blue again, his eyes are clearly brown Death Island which is set before RE8 but in RE8 his eyes are blue.

Why is it so difficult to be consistent with his eye colour?

#it's kinda bothering me like you'd think they'd be consistent with a main character's eye colour of all things #chris redfield #none of the other main characters have that problem (as far as I know)#well I suppose Wesker is on the same boat now #remake Wesker's eyes are green with orange edges #they're NOT hazel #hazel eyes are brown in the middle and green/blue on the outside #wesker is the opposite; his eyes are green in the middle and orange/brown on the outside #if his eyes ARE hazel then it's not the usual kind of hazel #unless he's wearing contact lenses to hide the fact that he's mutated and to lay low I don't know why they changed his eye colour :/#or he has chromatophores in his eyes and can change the colour of them at will???#or the virus he's infected with has reindeer dna in it or some shit #reindeer eyes change colour to the seasons; golden in the summer and blue in the winter

thinking abt splatoon 3 and it's kinda upsetting that they had this cool location of the splatlands and the reveal trailer made it a more apocalyptic setting with unique cultural backgrounds in splatsville idols and then just decide to spend the rest of S3 making more of an inkopolis presence

#i think theyre experimenting with the series a LOT with this game #because they cant make the next game cement a formula and get pokemon syndromed #so theyre testing the waters of how to make 4 feel really different in ways people will respond well to #and wrapping up inkopolis lore like squid sisters oth and salmon run/mr grizz #i LOVE the splatlands but i think they should make 4s location have 0 contact with any of the japan areas and take it somewhere else closeby #like an entire island over that requires a boat to travel and is too long for a bridge or subway

was anyone else low-key traumatized from Island of the Blue Dolphin?

#like she was alone on the island for AT LEAST a decade #she jumped off the boat because her brother was late 🥺#and she couldnt leave him #and her mum was still on it 🥲#and then two days later he was dead because of his impatience.#i would've killed myself #she only had contact with one other girl in those long long years #she stopped talkying the days and started tallying the months/moon cycles instead #and when someone FUNALLY FINALLY saved her #she got to the mainland.#and found out that her mothers ship was sunk and no one had even HEARD of them before #and no one truly knows what happened bc no one spoke her language and she tried to escape once and got halfway to the sister island but her #boat sprung a leak #im not crying over a book you are #island of the blue dolphins #i even own it #ozzy rambles #school #middle school

I recently ran into this girl I worked on a group project with last year and she seemed really happy to see me and it was really nice to see her and I really wish that I had asked her to study or hang out sometime because I'm trying to get to the point where I feel comfortable asking people that because I keep watching all these acquaintance-ships that are very friendly and in my mind I'm sort of hoping will turn into actual friendships pass by like there's two people graduating soon who I always hoped I might become friends with because we got along really well and they seemed like they might like to be friends so I kept hoping they would ask me to hang out or something which never happened and now I feel like I missed this opportunity because I think they probably would have been happy to hang out if I had asked, and I can't just keep feeling sad about having not much of a social life while not doing anything about it, but I genuinely cannot see myself asking someone to study together/hang out out loud anytime soon like it just feels completely terrifying and impossible and needy and weird and too much of a risk and also just not something that comes naturally at all

#I feel bad though that I didn't ask this one girl because she's a bit shy too and I kind of got the sense #last term that she wanted to maybe stay in contact and when I said in the group chat we could study together or something she agreed #so maybe she's in the same boat of hoping other people will say something idk #I do have a couple friends now which is super nice!! they both asked me to study with them #which made it easier #personal

thought i'd mess around and try drawing boat in a more accurate-to-reality way (aka how i'd probably draw him if i started watching him today)
