I haven’t watched it in a while but Zuko and Toph actually should’ve had the life-changing field trip because I really needed her to find out that his biggest problem is a father that demanded his children be the best benders around and kind of envy that, and then I needed him to find out that her biggest problem is parents that believed her to be helpless and wanted to love and protect her anyway and just totally flip out.

#I always felt bad for them. If I found out that my 12-year-old (blind or not) was living a dangerous double life I would also lose my mind #We didn’t really get to see them at their best #They kind of had the “okay you’re grounded FOREVER” moment that a lot of parents would have under those circumstances #and then she hit the road before the knowledge could sink in #I mean I’m sure she had reason to think that they’d still be overprotective if they knew how self-sufficient she was #but that theory was never actually tested #It doesn’t bug me the show’s about dumb kids acting like dumb kids so of course she takes it for granted they’ll never get her and runs off #with people who do #but then you have a whole adult audience watching it and acting like they’re as bad as Ozai pardon me what #Anyway. Missed opportunity! HUGE

my boyfriend asks me a reasonable question of a personal nature. I sigh deeply and tell him I cannot possibly explain how I think and feel on the matter unless I give him a very condensed theology lecture first. he listens, and then asks if that is really how I look at the world. I assure him that yes, it really is. I wait for him to think it’s stupid or inhuman or overdramatic. I ask some probing questions. he actually thinks it’s comforting, or romantic. I wait for him to ask derisively why I have to make everything about God. instead he exclaims how amazing it is that my relationship with him is allowed to be a part of my love for God.

#me explaining my views on Providence. vocation. theology of marriage. #and like iii think that stuff’s romantic. #but I am both a cradle catholic and a Masters holder so I am Theology Georg an outlier and should not be counted!!!! #I don’t expect random twenty-something dudes raised with very little religion to take to this stuff so easily! #I tell you what when the seed falls on good ground? you know it. you’re like holy SHIT that is some good ground #I will still not be elaborating at this time

“it’s so sad you can’t save karlach” you absolutely CAN save karlach and i have a paper to write about why nobody thinks you can

#bg3 spoilers #SHES HAPPY. SHE IS LITERALLY HAPPY TO BE A MIND FLAYER. SHE SAYS TO YOU ‘THIS IS INSANE BUT I FEEL CRAZY LUCKY RN’. #she doesn’t want to do it ! but if she does she’s VERY HAPPY WITH THE TRADEOFF! #bg3 snuck one of the most interesting thought-provoking Meditations On Beauty I’ve ever seen into their viddy game and I am CHEWING on it. #there’s obviously plenty to say about this relative to tav and the other characters as well #and the player’s inherent reluctance to take what is MECHANICALLY nothing but a boost #on the grounds that it will slightly alter their appearance #And like how (and whether!) we justify that as being what our characters would do etc etc yada yada #but it is LITERALLY lifesaving for karlach. The only other options for her are death or going back to a place #that she considers worse than death. #it’s a choice that she would have made happily if she knew going in that it would switch off her engine! #she is nothing but relieved if you talk to her afterwards! she looks radically different but she is the same person! #and YET as a player . Even knowing all of that!! it still sort of feels like losing her #and there’s REALLY something juicy there about how we think about appearance #and the nature of the self etc #also it’s definitely not that deep but I could say something about her appearance rework from EA #and how her being a conventionally ‘attractive’ character plays into this #like honestly? If it was laezel in the same situation I think we’d all be reacting very differently! #and I include myself in that! Through that whole scene I was going WOW this feels like such a hard choice #And at the same time looking at myself like holy shit you’re SO in the beauty complex soup! #anyways. Much to think about. Mind flayer karlach is adorable also. #Rhi talks

kuai liang and bi-han are such parallels of kitana and mileena in the way their siblinghood is presented: bad vs good. but it's purely bad vs. good and barley has any nuance provided

#you can read into kitana and mileena relationship and can see how kitana acts so much more like the older sibling #how mileena is under a lot more pressure of being the eldest and kitana having to act as the middle ground for sindel and mileena #but it’s also ONLY good and you don’t see conflict between the two #and then you have bi-han and kuai liang where it’s just hard to read what’s going on #nothing is provided besides they are destined to be enemies because of their titles as sub-zero and scorpion #it’s ONLY bad and you are unable to see any kind of brotherhood between the two #talking; #dialogue offers bits and pieces of conflict or bond but it’s still confusing to read and you’re still unable to really understand it

Look, I don’t like a number of things Biden has done and will do.

However, I am not naive enough to think that there is an alternative.

Any vote that is not for Biden IS a vote for Trump. That includes votes that are NOT cast.

People who refuse to vote or write in someone else or vote third party WILL be the reason Trump gets elected.

We already lost Roe because Trump got his faves in. There’s potentially more judges to be replaced in the near future.

You really wanna fuck around and find out?

#I hate that we are here #that this is what our country has devolved to #but if you think not voting because they both suck isn’t going to have a shit outcome #you’re wrong #if you think not voting will give you the moral high ground #you’re very wrong #if you think we will stop funding Israel’s genocide #with trump in office #still very wrong #if you think gay marriage is safe #so fucking wrong #yeah they both suck #but this is so much bigger than them

I’m currently binging the 87 series, and I just gotta say you got their personalities PERFECT, especially dialogue-wise

AAA THANK YOUUUUUU!!!

#oh I’m so happy you think that #and I hope you’re enjoying 87!! always get so hype when people check it out #it’s funny because I do /worry/ about how I write the 87 boys in my fic because it is different than how I’d write them in something based #like purely off their own show #like I’m still hoping to capture what they’re /like/ absolutely but I am wanting them to feel a little more grounded #so it’s a /relief/ to hear they still feel like themselves despite that AHA #sorry for rambling so much it the tags it’s just that every time I get a compliment on dialogue I briefly become the happiest person ever HA #for future reference AU

Based on your last post how do you think the cult would have turned out and what do you think would be different if the seeds had the chance to heal from their trauma?

So, let’s imagine this is a perfect world in which they’ve managed to completely heal and put their traumatic pasts behind them. Let’s also consider the Voice is still real and asked Joseph to save at least 3,000 souls from the Collapse because I want to keep the prophetic and supernatural aspect of the story (and also justify the cult’s existence). But, since the Seeds finally have a chance to get better in this AU, let’s also say the Voice didn’t ask them to do anything violent; I don’t want it to ruin everything!

I’m going to start with Faith because… would she even be in the Project? If she had had access to professional help, she could have overcome her drug addiction and regained a taste for life without joining a cult. Maybe she wouldn’t even have come to Hope County to “detox”, as some NPCs say. I also imagine she would still be best friends with Tracey, who would have healed too. It’s a bit unclear which Faith created the Bliss and the Angels but, in this scenario, I don’t think the cult would need them anyway because they wouldn’t brainwash or torture anyone.

While I can see Jacob still training people in case they need to survive in harsh conditions or defend themselves, he wouldn’t “cull the herd” or experiment on living creatures anymore. No more sacrifices, no more conditioning, no more trials, no more brainwashing, no more Judges; just a group of people getting ready for the apocalypse. I guess he could still teach them how to use weapons because it seems everyone owns and shoots guns in Hope County anyway, at least for hunting. I think the Whitetail Militia existed before Eden’s Gate arrived (but was a bit different), so I guess it wouldn’t be considered abnormal for cultists to have a small army too; its members just wouldn’t terrorize the rest of the county. Actually, since we know Eli helped Jacob design and build bunkers, maybe they would still be “friends” and the Whitetails would be part of the cult.

John could still be The Baptist, people could still need to be Cleansed before joining the Project, and maybe he would hear their Confessions too, but because he wouldn’t have such an unhealthy relationship with sin and pain anymore, he wouldn’t make others suffer, psychologically and physically. No more tattoos, no more cutting people’s skin out, and maybe no more “Power of Yes”, either, since this obsession also came from his adoptive parents’ torture. I hope he also wouldn’t have such a fragile ego and a constant need for validation anymore, so he wouldn’t want to impress Joseph all the time or need his approval to convince himself he’s worth something as a person.

Finally, while Joseph would still hear the Voice in this scenario, he wouldn’t have sacrificed his daughter because “God” wouldn’t have asked him to do it. She would have died in the hospital shortly after her mother’s accident… or she would still be alive, and maybe he would have never created “Faith Seed” for this reason! His family members could still be his Heralds, and the cult would have built bunkers and started stockpiling food and supplies, but they wouldn’t have lost so many potential converts in Jacob’s trials, so they probably would already have enough followers. Because they would also look less “weird” and scary, I suppose more people would have wanted to join them, too. And they would still have John’s money, so they could have used it to buy enough food and supplies instead of brutally stealing everything during the Reaping! Maybe the rules (no alcohol, no drugs, no fornication) would still apply because Eden’s Gate remains a religious group, but I suppose cultists wouldn’t be so aggressively obsessed with “sin”.

Now, I don’t know what the Deputy’s role in the prophecy would be. In this perfect world, they would have no reason to arrest Joseph, so that wouldn’t trigger the Collapse and the Reaping (which, maybe, wouldn’t even be necessary). I suppose they could still join the Project and be saved, though, and so could everyone else in Hope County.

I’m aware this is a very idealized scenario but, if the Voice still existed and the Seeds had totally healed from their traumatic pasts, I think that’s what Eden’s Gate could look like. They would still be preppers and technically a cult, but a surprisingly (and, I suppose, unrealistically) wholesome one.

Lisa walking into the treehouse this year to tell her story like “I came up with this in therapy:”

#they implied somewhere that the Treehouse of Horror is still the Simpsons telling stories in the treehouse and I hold that close to my heart #anyway I think Lisa threw in Maggie at the end to make her happy and Marge went “that was great honey!! You’re grounded for a year” #then they’re like why didn’t you ground her when she told you about slicing Rod in half or sticking a meat hook #through Nelson’s head? and she’s like “well I wanted to hear the end” #then they’ve grounded all the kids (Bart for cheering every death) and Marge is like “uh I’m out of ideas. What if everyone was you” #and Homer’s like that’d be great and Marge is like “what if /I/ was you?!?!” and Homer’s like that’d be great #The Simpsons

Ah, you see, Tanuki-san, my friend said it's bad manners to refer to an ANBU by their name...

Well, my chakra control is decent, I guess. But I went to Hound-san because my movements need more precision! Especially with kunai and shuriken...

-sighs-

I considered going to Gai-san, but he's a lot more... Intimidating...

Precise certainly is one word to use for him… I’m an assassination specialist, with a focus on poisons. But that’s probably not the precision you’d want. More stealth based than anything.

I don’t blame you for avoiding Gai. He was on my genin team. He’s always been a bit much. If it’s taijutsu based precision, talk to a Hyuuga. At least into becoming a sparing partner. Their entire style is based around hitting tiny spots on the human body with laser precision and lightning speed. You’ll get some real good practice in even just sparring with them.

#I can’t really teach you much besides poisons #but I’ll tell you one thing #It doesn’t matter how fast you are #or strong #or what eyes you have #if I stick you with what I’ve got in my right thigh holster right now you’re still desd before you hit the ground #it’s a brutal way to fight but it’s suited me well for climbing the ranks #genma shiranui #shiranui genma #tokubetsu jonins shenanigans #anbu shenanigans

fucking RIP to the Sussur Dagger that I lost forever at the very end of act 2 😭

#truly fucking devastated about this one lads I loved that thing #it was the ambush as you’re leaving to Baldur’s Gate #my weapons got knocked out of my hands #I managed to pick up my short sword but for whatever reason I had issues picking the dagger up in combat #so I just told myself I’d grab it after…… #but it’s like goddamn invisible on the ground and I just totally forgot about it #wasn’t until I was fighting in the astral prism that I realized I was still unarmed and then it hit me. just wanted to die right there. #I couldn’t reload a save because I haven’t cleared my save files so I’ve been overwriting them #pls tell me I can find a cooler dagger in act 3. give me some consolation. anyone. 😭

Can Twitter finally just fucking implode I am so sick of hearing about that stupid ass website

#I also just fucking hate it and want it to die anyways #I’ve always hated it due to the insane influence it got in the publishing industry that makes it damn near impossible for some ppl to get #published or involved in the industry at all #like if you’re not on Twitter 24/7 or don’t have the right Twitter connections you literally cannot land a publishing deal el oh el #it was also the shift of so many writers having to do MOST of the marketing for their books rather than the publishing houses #which was ridiculous #like I dunno I literally don’t have the time/energy/socialization or networking skills to try and land an agent via the right fucking tweet #and I think it’s fucking stupid that that was a thing that started happening at all #ppl shouldn’t be pitching fucking books on TWITTER writers shouldn’t have to be public figures on Twitter for the sake of marketing #so I hate that stupid app and want it to fucking die so that new part of the industry goes down with it #like that is actually the main reason for my indescribable rage for Twitter #I hope it dies. and I hope I can stop reading shit about Elon musk for like two fucking minutes #also y’all sound fucking stupid with your ‘Elon is actually THIS dumb’ shit #because like yeah obviously he’s an idiot don’t get me wrong #but he’s not accidentally running Twitter into the ground just because he’s stupid #he’s deliberately trying to kill it because he never wanted to buy in the first place and wants it to become a write off #like yeah he’s still goddamn dumb but he’s NOT doing all this to try and make Twitter profitable el oh el #anyways. I’ll be quiet now y’all are just being annoying about this #kaz rambles
