Jean Moreau be like Neil Josten was supposed to be my best friend and I consider that loss to be one of the worst things that ever happened to me. He's one of the select few who I trust to take me and my problems seriously and make good on his promises to me. Unfortunately he is also the fucking antichrist and everything he does is calibrated to spike my blood pressure.

I don’t know if you all realize how often I think about @02511213942 ‘s art and specifically the “Aaron and Neil were friends first” lol. Neil brought snacks for the study session

(I do know there’s a fic about the topic out there as well but I.. don’t read fic much so 025’s was my intro the au train of thought and I fell in love with it. Andrew’s throwback memory is their art from the above linked post and the whole thing is worth seeing again even if you’ve already seen it 😂💕)

Anyway Aaron, new counterargument: what if Neil brought Andrew a little treat tho

As someone who has just finished TSC, has invested far too much of their being into this series, and can’t find anything about this on the internet, does anyone know if TSC is it for Jean’s post-Raven story or if we’re going to get another book sometime in the future?

I feel like there was a lot left unsaid (for me especially with Jeremy’s family) in TSC but it also didn’t really set up much for future books.

I really just need to know if it should get my hopes up or not. I’m already going book hangover after speed-demoning TSC in two days on top of finals.

Just thinking about how Jean Moreau is one of the best backliners in Class I exy but I don’t think anyone has even seen his peek potential yet

Just thinking about how Neil is able to match Riko at every turn with his speed at the Final Raven v Foxes match and he catches Riko by surprise since Riko is not expecting Neil in top form as when Neil was at the nest he only got on the court after being beat and his physical condition only got worse as the weeks progressed.

So just thinking that about how Jean has never played an Exy game not in pain. He is one of the best even while always playing in pain somewhere on his body. So I can’t wait to see Jean realize what he can do when he finally gets to play when he’s not in pain.

And for everyone to realize that they’ve seen Jean Moreau play but they haven’t seen Jean Moreau play

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

The thing that gets me about Wymack is that he doesn't actually have to bribe Andrew into playing. Wymack already holds three very valuable bargaining chips: Andrew, Nicky and Aaron's free college education.

You see, Andrew doesn't give a shit about himself or if he gets kicked off the team and loses his scholarship. But what he does care about is keeping his promises and keeping his family together, and he can't do that if he and his family have to drop out. Plus, Nicky would be crushed, and Aaron would never forgive him for costing him his one shot at becoming a doctor.

So he needs Wymack, and he needs his family to stay on the team. Thus, it would be very easy for Wymack to use that as leverage to make Andrew play properly. Hell, Andrew probably even expected him to at one point.

And yet, Wymack never once cashes that in.

He doesn't, because doing so would be a betrayal of the fragile trust he's built with Andrew. It would be a power play, further proof for Andrew that older adults only want to take advantage and use him. Proof that Wymack cares more about winning than he does his players. Proof that Wymack isn't who he says he is.

Instead, Wymack plays Andrew's game. He lets Andrew extort him for alcohol and favors in exchange for saving their asses in the goalbox. He lets Andrew think he's getting one up on his coach. In the end, he lets Andrew find his own reasons to play on his own time.

Magic and Ty in TWP

I'm excited for so many things in TWP but what I'm most excited to see is Ty Blackthorn grow as a character. Specifically, Ty and his magic. I think it's safe to assume that TWP is going to be heavy on the magic side of things since we have everything going on with Faerie, the after-affects of necromancy, and the TWP gang's obvious affinity for Shadow Markets.

Let's talk about Ty and magic for a second:

In QOAD Kit said that Ty drew a better spell circle (pentagram? sorry I can't remember the exact word used) than his dad, whose an actual magician.

Ragnor was absolutely taken aback when he found out Ty (with the help of Kit, of course) had completed everything on his list. Like, those set of tasks was specifically designed by a powerful warlock not to be completable. And yet, Ty did.

Now, I don't know anything about magic, but I would say necromancy is definitely not something a teenager without much experience doing magic could just pick up. Yet again, Ty did.

Ty did all of that in the span of one book! Imagine how much more powerful he's going to be after a few years at the Scholomance, a place with access to so much specialized knowledge and the Spiral Labyrinth's archives (if I'm not mistaken, which I definitely could be).

Another thing to note: remember at the end of the short story The Land I Lost where Alec and Magnus adopt Rafe. Magnus talks about how they could train Rafe to be a magician and teach Max some shadowhunter moves. With Alec as the new consul I think this really signals a coming acceptance of shadowhunters using magic (not necromancy of course, but regular magic). I feel like this could really tie into Ty's story in TWP.

My whole point is that Ty is definitely a powerful shadowhunter and I really hope he's given the opportunity to shine at his fullest potential. I'm so excited to see who he becomes throughout TWP!! I would love to hear other peoples' thoughts on this :)

The use of white phosphorous in Palestine is so calculated and insidious because not only does it cause horrific, usually fatal burns but its residue in the envionrment can cause illness, birth defects, and cancers for generations afterward. Look at the Twitter account Fallujah Birth Defects (graphic) which documents defects and abnormalities so rare most medical journals don't have them. White phosphorous was dropped in Fallujah in 2004 and it's still killing Iraqi babies. What do you think it's going to do to the survivors of the Palestinian genocide.

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.
