I want Miles 42 to be an absolute sweetheart and a dork just to mess with the fandom. Like heâs a bit aggressive towards Miles 1610 but like if your exact copy suddenly materialized in your home and went talking to your mom and uncle youâd be weirded out too. I want the whole fandom to sit down and see him be Dorkius McDorksman just to teach âem to stop stereotyping black boys.
toshiro is also autistic and clearly envies how much laios doesn't mask and is able to say whatever he's thinking outright (he literally says so after their fight). and he was raised as like a minor lord or whatever in feudal japan so he learned to mask early on and that combination of masking + raised in a high-context culture + being in a foreign land with different etiquette means that he'll go through herculean levels of discomfort to not upset any perceived group balance and only snaps when he's like three days away from dropping dead. which is also something he sees in falin btw and is a big reason why he's drawn to her. imo
the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belongings, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.
Discord has introduced microtransactions to make only specific users hear sound effects. Skype is back as a livestreaming platform. X is now marketing âtwitterâ as a paid-only private area to post in on X. There are clouds gathering above the field now. Thereâs an ache in your tooth when you eat something sweet, sharp and stabbing, but you put it off. The wind makes the puddles in the mud ripple after it rains. When you look out, you like to pretend they are deeper, deep enough to drown in. You wonder if youâd still be able to see just how big the cloud-heavy sky is as you fall beneath the surface. You wonder if youâd hear the first drops of rain. You wonder how the wind always seems to find you out there. The field is large, and it is cold outside. Come inside now. Itâs getting late.
you know sometimes I don't believe people who makes those "showing my pet places theyve never seen before" cuz wdym your dog has never seen the dishwasher before? what do you mean your cat has never seen the cupboard before? my dog regularly sticks her head into the dishwasher and licks the plates no matter how many times I scold her and make her sit in her house. I just feel like we're not being realistic here about where exactly our free-roaming animals have been. They have lives we don't know about
