#I can't even take that risk

[shrikeseams]

I really want to know what Thingol and Melian would have done if Luthien had been taken captive in Angband.

Not in like, a darkfic way. Not my jam.

but in a "What terms would Morgoth set?" way, and also, a "How far are Thingol and/or Melian willing to go to save their daughter vs their kingdom?" way, and also a "Would they even agree on that?" way.

Melian's actions once Thingol dies suggest that she's far more attached to her family than her nominal people/kingdom. Would she throw down the girdle for Luthien's sake?

Would Thingol ask her to?

#tolkien #san shoots the breeze #Luthien is so opaque to me I can't even decide if she knew that was a risk she was taking #if it occurred to her that she wasn't risking just her life but possibly all of doriath's safety #like she knew it was dangerous but did she think twice about the downstream effects?

I do have on thing to say about the fact that "one of the passengers is a 19 year old" for the Titan.

A 19 year old is still a "teenager" but that is a whole ass adult. That is an adult who has been an adult for a year and acting like he has no self agency to not make the choices he did is just ridiculous and I'm seeing *way* to many people on this site pretty much just infantalize him. 18 is *also* an adult. A new adult, but still an *adult*. If you are seriously in the mindset of "but that's a child still!" You need to step away from Tumblr and just think about how you view the various human stages of development.

19 year olds aren't kids. That man made that choice to go down there.

(also as a trans man who's rights are under attack and that people are using the argument of "kids can't consent" to get their foot in the door and then further take them away from literal adults, some under the argument of "well a lot of y'all are autistic and Don't Really Understand what's happening even though you're adults!!" This shit infuriates me. Stop infantilizing people!!! This may not be about my rights as a trans person but the issue of infantilizing literal adults is still the same!!!)

#titan #oceangate #the titanic #like it sucks people probably died but honestly i don't hold a ton of sympathy for these people. who are all ADULTS. #like they made the choices #they all signed the literal waivers knew to some extent the risk #and eithsr all adults have agency or none of us do. #just bc we make the choice not to read the full text of like phone legalese doesnt mean we arent able to if we take fhe extra time to do it #there is argument to be made that stuff Iikw that is needlessly overcomplicated and should be more thoroughly regulated but for corps #not on the “oh well pwople cant agree to phone contracts now bc they're too hard to understand :(” #like. do you see how ridiculous that sounds #and the titan waivers *woudlnt have been anywhere as complicated*. ive read risk of death is mentioned 3x on the first page alone. #can't quote ehere so it moght not be true but still. point being its a literal trip to rhe bottom of fhe ocean. #that alone carries inherent risks *i dont want to take even in the safest submarine*.

FYI if you're watching MasterChef Australia, the Sri Lankan Australian contestant Savi is a friend of mine and kind of a stealth idol because everything I seem to be online (a ball-busting, bombastic, proudly brown, unapologetically fat, sexy decolonizer lady) she actually is irl. It's funny because she was a few grades below me and found me intimidating when we were in school and now I'm the one perpetually in awe of her. Do watch if you can and root for her! She's a delight!

#it looks like she's really not taking down the heat level to cater to the white judges taste buds #which kinda thrills me because you should be able to handle heat if you're a judge on a chef contest #but i don't think even i would have had the stones to risk it for a televised competition #which tells you all you need to know about her lmao. and I get it bc Savi's food is an expression of herself the way my writing is of mine #'just because you can't handle it doesnt mean there's anything wrong with me' is fucking praxis #jealous bootlickers on lankan twitter are trying to start shit #being like 'yo didn't this woman say that Michelin stars are just white people opinions and don't mean anything?' #And? she's right??😂😂😂😂 #woman SAID what she SAID #masterchef australia #sri lanka #sri lankan cuisine #food culture #knee of huss

Tbh I have a lot of complicated feelings about the whole OceanGate thing and I'm not really a fan of how this is being treated as The Evergiven 2, but as it becomes more and more likely that the sub suffered a critical failure and imploded days ago my main thought is that visiting the Titanic's wreck should be in the same category as climbing Mt. Everest; a pointless, unfathomably dangerous, disrespectful excursion that should not be allowed, or at least regulated and reserved for experts who know what they're doing to conduct research and/or matinance.

I mean like at this point I don't even think the average person should know where Titanic is. What is the benefit? All it leads to is death and the disruption and/or potential destruction of a mass gravesite that also doubles as a unbelievably valuable historic artifact that will not be around forever. Why the hell are people just allowed to go down there?? We don't let people go rub their hands all over the Mona Lisa, and that wouldn't even kill anyone, why can billionaires just go tromping around in far more deadly and fragile locations, especially ones where hundreds of people have already died?

But yeah idk there's no real point in adding my input to the discussion and I kinda don't want to comment on it beyond this anyway, but the whole situation sucks and def makes it clear there are simply some things people should not be allowed to do no matter how much goddamn money they have.

#I just do not understand rich people's obsession with going to space and climbing everest and shit like that #you have so much money and the only thing you can think to do with it is get yourself killed for what?? #bragging rights??? #and we should jusy let you do this even if it's hella disrespectful or destroying things that should be preserved???? #I s2g Glass Onion was a fucking prophecy #also don't take this as me saying these people deserve to die I don't have a say in who lives and who dies #and I don't believe in the death penalty #I just am baffled at the lengths rich people will go to for bragging rights #it's like they really do believe the world should bend to their will #and they should be allowed to do whatever they want bcs they have money #and yeah they did have reason to believe this was safe I will not deny that at all #I don't think this is as much of a fuck around and find out thing as people say it is #even poor people put our lives at risk doing dumb shit sometimes #I just think it's like....idk there's a difference between going on a shoddy carnival ride #and thinking you have a right to go see the wreck of the titanic #idk anyway I'm rambling more than anything this is just infuriating and tragic and stupid and I hate it #but we can learn from it at least #and what we should learn is 'you can't just do whatever you want bcs you have money' #people shouldnt be allowed to just put themselves in these sorts of situations #oceangate #titanic #current events

#this probending oikawa au is looking like it would make a better fic than a comic #me @ myself: you have no time to write a long ass fic thats not even a comic for a character outside your primary fandom! you have so many #other projects! #also me....but...what if i did.... #ghajksks #something something pro bending where the events of haikyuu happened in a junior league so that i can follow canon but give oikawa a chance #to win #and he's going to have to face the fact that he's always holding himself back and saying he can't do something instead of taking a risk #which mirrors the fact that he's unable to risk his friendship with iwaizumi to tell him how he feels #i was an anime only watcher of haikyuu but now im trying to get some of the aoba josai #manga matches for my textual evidence... #comics would take too long to donthis idea fully...but drawing...and writing oikawa might be hard...but also...full length fics...

not to be dramatic but will I ever know peace

#will i???????? #i taught this boy to waltz. i taught this boy to communicate his emotions. i taught this boy to not be afraid of vulnerability and honesty. #not to take credit for it ALL but i DID teach him some things and i know because he sure as heck did not do those things before #maybe i should get a t shirt for this. i made it through heartbreak number 3 and all i got was this shirt #not to besmirch his good name but this boy hasn't got a CLUE y'all i can't even tell you #in the same conversation he essentially said yeah you're too old for me and im not attracted to you but if you were a few years younger i'd #consider it he also said. also you're really pretty you smell really good if you want someone to dance with i'm here #and there's this dress you wore before which you look really good in so you should wear it again! #and it has been a roller coaster ever since #genuinely has NOT got a single clue i can tell he was trying hard in that conversation to not freak out but MAN #at risk of sounding self righteous i don't think i deserved half the stuff that's happened since!

okay i'm going to be nicer to totk for real now *deletes most of my drafts*

#bwark #god i'm fucking trying to have some kind of epiphany here where i can have it all click and be like ''even if i have my problems i can still #get enjoyment out of it'' but this game makes it so damn difficult #''i can discuss the story'' wait nope can't. story sucks ass and butt #''what about the exploration? that was the best part of botw'' uh no can't do that when the surface is practically the same and there's no #substance to the sky or the depths #''gameplay?'' i don't like ultrahand. which sucks when that's 90% of the gameplay #i respect the work that must've gone into it and the creativity it's drawn from fans but making one gameplay aspect literally ALL YOU DO #runs the risk of alienating people who can't get behind #and sure other zelda games have their gimmicks but it's different #like take tp for example. i get that the wolf mechanic isn't for everyone. but aside from the early game twilight sections and a few sparse #puzzles in the later game you're never really forced to play as wolf so it doesn't overstay its welcome #god i just remembered that totk turned wolf link into meat chunks. another thing they took from us 😔 #actually on that genuinely why couldn't they just bring him back? #like you're reusing a ton of shit from botw anyway?? #which brings me back to my main point is that anything that isn't new is just. botw again #shrines are back but they're uglier. dungeons are the divine beasts but in a new coat of paint #why did they add more shrines to the game anyway? like you'd think they'd at least lower the number because fans didn't want them to return #the SINGULAR leg up i can think of id the bosses. yeah i love botw and i'll hold my hands up and say that a lot of the common complaints for #it don't bother me personally but yeah the blights absolutely sucked #divebombing colgera with the dragon roost theme playing was the closest thing that this game came to giving me an experience #okay i'll shut up now I'M GOING TO BE NICE EVEN IF IT KILLS ME

#i'm sure the people who this doesn't apply to are sick of me saying/posting about this #but it's just so annoying how i'll be happy about a milestone #until i realise i probably have to block a quarter of you😐 #just cause you don't even bother reading my pinned post or byf/rules #i know it's 'not that deep' for some of you and that's probably why you don't listen/care #but i'd rather not risk the consequences of someone 17- interacting with me/my smut #also to clarify #i use tumblr mobile almost exclusively and i can't block from sideblogs on here #so i'm only able to do so when i have access to desktop #and when i do have access i'm usually doing college work #so i've only just now gotten round to actually blocking people #still not done tho #cause there's genuinely a ridiculous number of you /pos /lh #and it's taking a while since i'm checking every single person #( ★ ) psa.

constantly gaslighting myself into believing that my chronic migraines aren't even that bad. until i get one again and it's actively the worst experience of my life.

#repeat the cycle etc etc #like yeah i spend at least 4 hours of most days sitting in a dark room with the only source of light being my yellow-screen computer #having to ignore the ringing in my ears + the throbbing in my temples. barely being able to get up without my vision spinning #not being able to handle an ounce of auditory stimulation. or the pressure of my noise-cancelling headphones on my head #feeling sick and running a borderline temperature that. does not feel anywhere under 38 degrees. whilst simultaneously shivering #can't even take anything but over the counter painkillers for them because my neurologist considers me 'at-risk' #blehk #but its not even 'that bad' right??? #it's fine though im coming down off this one. i can listen to music without actively wanting to gouge my eyeballs out with my fingers #chronic illness #? #gothihop speaks

I think that. the technology used to make secunits. could ethically be used to make ancillaries. if the unethical part of making ancillaries is overriding a nonconsenting sentient being's identity, and the unethical part of making secunits is creating for them a brain with an identity only to enslave them and subject them to an intolerable amount of stress and danger, then couldn't you use secunit fabrication technology to create a body intended for use as an ancillary and then hook it up to a ship without there ever being someone nonconsenting involved? I mean this is kind of just clones with more steps to be honest but. my point is, Breq & the fledgling government of the Republic of Two Systems should pull a heist on the corporation rim to steal secunit fabrication secrets and Murderbot should get involved because somehow it always gets involved. then after everyone's done shooting at people, it and Breq can watch a musical together even though it finds her humming annoying as hell. I'm just saying.

#thematically of course the idea is a mess. I am aware of that. rudely sidestepping anything either series wants to say about personhood. #but practically and for fic-that-I-will-not-write purposes it is intriguing #the murderbot diaries #imperial radch #I love breq with my entire heart but I can't convince myself that murderbot would come to like her much #even if it's good enough at tuning things out that the humming wouldn't bother it #she's too similar to it in terms of self-endangering risk taking #and there's a go-towards/go-away problem. #breq would be intrigued by meeting a new cousin and murderbot would be like that's nice leave me alone #it does not want to be involved in the creation of a new government. thanks.

Housemate is letting one of her rabbits walk around at night again :/

#girl he's cute but that means i gotta leave the lights on #i can guess she's not asleep because there's light in her room and her smart tv was still pinging my phone with the casting notif #but like. you can let your own pet rabbit wander around the house with your door closed! #he's your bunny! you didn't say anything about it! #not even talking about the risk for the lil guy because this is in spirit a student house #like i'm the only full time student but we're all at that student-ish age and living consequently #by which i mean there's lots of crap on the ground that doesn't get cleaned often #the bunny is not safe walking around. he isn't. also i keep almost tripping on him #and it stresses me the fuck out personally to have to keep the lights turned on all night across the house #just because jasper's out and rabbits don't have night vision and i don't want him to be alone in the dark #but also there are for real screws on the floor of the bathroom just hanging out #like. this is not a house that is safe for rabbits to roam free around. it just isn't #and she's filled the only shelf in the bathroom with more hygiene products than anyone else #and and and and. she's a shit housemate i won't miss her when i leave to go back home #man i can't wait for the day i am not sharing living space with her. i like my other housemates! #mostly because they pick up after themselves #and they're aware that when they make a mess they have to take care of it afterwards #she just kinda does stuff and then doesn't think about it #if she lived on her own i would not give a shit but it's impacting my day-to-day life as well! #ARGH #anyway #wow i have a ramble tag now #england adventures

[motherfuckingmaneater]

so you like tommary?

No. That is not a term I would use. I have enjoyed the idea of it and can get into it when its well written but i've so far only read one fic i've truly enjoyed and that didn't ship them at all. I am a sucker for time turning AUs in which any character (Harry in this case) is thrown back to another time.

However, in their instance, I don't enjoy when they're shipped/romantic because I just don't think Harry is or has anything special enough to warrant and evoke that kind of emotion or pull from Voldemort who is an otherwise incredibly emotionally closed off person.

Furthermore for the most part Tom/arry fans will very heavily shit on Bellatrix. Most of the time authors are like “ewwww no Voldemort didn’t love Bellatrix he just USED HER he’s not CAPABLE of love she was nothing more to him than his SLAVE” then write Voldemort becoming some kind of idiot obsessive love freak over Harry and have V fall so madly in love with him he changes his evil ways. That puts me off the authors and subsequently their fics, so it's unlikely i'll venture into it again.

I find it kind of repulsive as a ship to be perfectly honest, but I enjoy reading the non romantic or non smut ones and the ones where he heavily manipulates and abu/ses Harry. Unfortunately it's hard to find many of those.

#yes valid she was his slave and she loved being his slave but he definitely cared for her #you can't take that from his character #its not even a redeeming quality she's literally just as bad as him and probably made him even MORE dangerous at times #take for instance them in the atrium in ootp #he risks making himself known by stopping to get her #“over there! i saw him! he grabbed a woman and disapparated!” #didn't give a shit about any of his other DE's though did he #also as a final point i don't enjoy the romantic bellamort stories either for the most part #I think their romance is very macabre and unconventional #i think he tries to be sweet sometimes #but his way of being 'sweet' is by reanimating the corpse of her childhood cat bc she mentioned she missed it one time when she was drunk
