Computer skills need to be part of law school. 80% of the law students and baby lawyers I meet don't know about directory trees, can't check file sizes and formats and thus can't figure out why they can't email the 1.2GB ISO to opposing counsel and can't open it on their iPhone, are absolutely helpless when the evidence requires them to download a codec to view it, think they need to install AVG Antivirus, etc etc. Does law school think they're all going to have admin staff to handle this shit for them the moment they pass the bar? Malpractice factory.

Pen's Song-Story Writing Challenge Extravaganza Submission!

@alilbatwrites your song was "The Law" by Reach, here is a snippet based on that!!

When Hero got back to the league from saving the city, they had expected celebration, or at least a thank-you. What they got instead was… eye-opening to say the least. They opened the doors to a bunch of stone-faced, enhanced superiors.

“Uh…what?” Hero asked, confused, “did I cause collateral damage again? I thought I was careful this time!”

“It isn’t that, Hero,” Superhero started.

“You took Supervillain down in under two minutes,” another super stated.

“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” Hero joked.

When they received no response, Hero faltered.

“It…it’s not a bad thing, right?”

“Hero, you know our League is here to keep the nation’s peace,” Superhero said, “and to eliminate security risks.”

“Well, yeah, I’d day I did pretty good out there,” Hero said, “so why do you all seem upset?”

The sound of footsteps behind them made Hero’s head turn. Two league agents put a hand on each of Hero’s shoulders.

“Superhero,” Hero asked nervously, turning back to face their superior, “what’s going on?”

“We took a risk letting you roam free with your powers of energy manipulation,” Superhero said, “your abilities have grown to an incredible strength, and now the risks outweigh the benefits. I’m sorry, Hero.”

As Superhero spoke, one of the agents jammed the end of a needle into Hero’s neck. Hero cried out in pain, feeling ice flood their veins.

“So that’s it- you’re just going to get rid of me because I’m too good at my job!?” Hero asked desperately, feeling their limbs turn to lead.

“Your powers will only increase exponentially from here,” another league member said, “if we don’t contain you now, we’ll never be able to stop you if you become a threat.”

Hero tried to wrench themselves from the agents’ grips, but they held them fast. Hero’s knees buckled just as a wheelchair with padded restraints came into view.

“Take them down to Containment Level 3,” Superhero ordered.

“N-no,” Hero slurred.

Hero felt themselves be lifted into the wheelchair. Straps tightened across their body just as their vision began to fade. Their head sank down into their chest as the drug sucked them under.

…

When Hero awoke next, they thought maybe the events from earlier were just a bad dream. Maybe Supervillain had defeated them, and they would wake up in the med bay with Superhero by their bedside. Hero opened their eyes to a stark white room. They looked down at their form and found that they had been stuffed in some kind of straight-jacket suit, the buckles going all the way down to their ankles. Hero jerked upright, trying and failing to free themselves. They tried to call on their power, but their movements were sluggish, and their energy barely materialized.

Hero fought back the tears that brimmed in their eyes. They had figured if they ever did get captured, it would be by some criminal, never by their own team, the people they fought beside every day. Now their team- their family- had them drugged up and restrained in a cell just like those criminals they had been taught to fight. When they couldn’t fight them any longer, Hero let the tears fall with a choked sob.

“Hey,” a voice echoed.

Hero looked up, sniffling. The door opened, revealing a league agent.

“What do you want?” Hero asked bitterly.

“Seriously?” the league member demanded indignantly, “I come all this way to save you and-oh. Right. The outfit.”

The league member unbuttoned their uniform to reveal a familiar, dark suit underneath.

“Villain?” Hero asked in disbelief.

“Duh,” Villain said, “saw what you did out there with Supervillain. That was pret-ty impressive. But I knew your precious league wouldn’t like it. So here I am.”

Hero remembered the stories Superhero had told them about Villain, how they had abandoned the league years ago. They remembered the late-night, rooftop conversations with Villain, about how the league wasn’t what they seemed.

“Are you going to say, ‘I told you so’?” Hero asked dejectedly.

“Nah, you’ve been punished enough,” Villain said, “come on, let’s get you out of here.”

Villain worked to free Hero from their restraints. They pulled out a syringe filled with liquid.

“This is gonna counteract the junk they’ve pumped in your system,” Villain said, “the car’s outside waiting. We can be out of the city limits in an hour… unless you’d like to torch this place first?”

Hero shook their head, holding their arm out for Villain to administer the antidote.

“I just wanna go,” Hero said.

“I gotcha,” Villain said, helping them up, “leave the torching to me then.”

…

Villain drove off, Hero in the passenger seat, the league base ablaze behind them.

Quick revisit of Damara

The official translation slightly undersells how crass she is: 白痴雌犬 (hakuchi-mesuinu) is reported in the transcript as 'bitch idiot' but seems to map more closely to 'retarded bitch'.

Her invitation 'please get stoned with me' uses the kanji for throwing stones (投石, touseki), affirming the SBaHJ joke that uses weed as shorthand for the violent punishment of transgression... is the idea that insofar as they're operating within homophobic rhetoric, a gay sexual solicitation is understood as suicidal?

I wonder if Meenah telling Damara to cut out that 'amateur noise' is code for 'baby talk' -- in condescending reference to Damara's (implicitly Hysterical) babble and/or in reference to the implicit longing for/mourning of infants in the dialogue (eg 'i want to feel my nipples between your teeth' addresses a lost baby, in addition to Meenah)

the word Damara uses to describe herself as jealous (嫉妬, shitto) is itself built on sexist descriptions of women as hysterical and uniquely competitive... kanji breakdown found here. On an ideographic level, the word's radical sequences of woman/arrow-sickness and woman/stone both seem to resonate with the scene's depiction of dysphoria (arrows are phallic) and with earlier depictions of looming execution (stoning) terrorizing sexual deviants... Local lawyer Latula threatening to kill Damara if she approaches Mituna (who here represents the child/self) is in tune with this

Winding back a moment: since the word for nipple breaks down to breast-neck (乳首, chi-kubi), reading Damara solicitation as "I want to feel my /neck/ between your teeth" would place her desire in alignment with the Rufioh-Horuss breakup, which splits a bloody stump (Rufioh's hair) from a penis-face (Horuss's emoji). "Please bite my dick/head off" simultaneously reinforces the section's undercurrents of dysphoria and the sense that gender confirmation entails death? And I suppose superimposing the original intimation of "Please bite my boob off" would keep the transgender cardinality ambiguous -- one bit of utility for the comic's persistent milk/semen conflation

When practicing law, it's important that you leave all retainers spread haphazardly across your entire conference room. This includes both blank forms and those signed by clients. Be sure to include the ones with cryptic annotations that PROBABLY contain client information*. It is crucial you remember to do this lest you put your entire career, and those of everyone you've ever loved**, in jeopardy.

*It's also important that your annotations both be written with a leaky pen you held between your feet to ensure illegibility AND that you devise your own personal ever shifting shorthand which you never disclose to anyone. If a casual observer, law partner, secretary, or offspring is able to parse it you'll have to start over

**Not limited to those in the legal profession or those you were associated with during your legal career

I have an abundant amount of money.  I can pay all of my bills on time and I have extra to save.  I’d like to help people in need around me, or deserving.  I have plenty of money so I can share.  I can easily take care of my family because I have plenty of money.  I am smart with my money and I have more than enough.

Mama Lux’s reaction to Crescent x Palette

[ilikethecolorredsstuff]

My game is taking too long to start so I've been looking at this picture for a while now and I have to rant abt it now

So the statue is OBV abt the justice lady

Blind and holding a knife because justice doesn't let wealth and power affect her judgment

So she is blind towards them. She holds that justice thing to simbolise all being equal to the law, But things that we can find here and not the irl one Is that she looks like the FL so we can assume that the FL represents justice in the story and it would make sence with her character Aka the blindfold

And since the snake is the only living thing with her we can safely say it represents the environment she is in more specifically the law feild that is trying to unblind her towards power and wealth, But the cracks of the statue are not at all because of the snake so we can say that her environment is but a mild inconvenience to her that goes unnoticed infront of the actual thing that is causing harm to the unfazed justice.

What's causing harm is herself because it looks like the statue is fading from the inside and so what could this mean???

Her sence of justice is dazed by something that comes from the inside.... Her empathy.

Now the reason why I'm saying her empathy is gazing her idea of justice is because of the cracks placements.

There's one at the top of her arm that holds the sword, But she is clearly still holding onto it, So what it means is that she will grip the power and wealth when needed to serve justice or in this case the new sense of justice

However the balance thingy is held by only the hand but the arm is long gone, And it could mean that the idea of it is still there but not like it used to so we are letting go of what doesn't serve us in the law. (Because the balance thingy is the law)

There's also cracks in her blindfolds, But only at the ends of it, Meaning that it will be gone soon and that justice won't be an unchangeable thing.... AKA no binary type of morality and justice.

We can also see some faint cracks in the cloth she is wearing, And all I can think of abt that is that this new transformation will leave justice (or the FL) naked and vulnerable.

End of rant

Still waiting for the game to start
