#I'M THINKING

[angst-and-fajitas]

While musing on that post about Minecraft and the constant presence of portals and themes of escape, I found that I had come to an entirely different conclusion from the same information.

When I picture those unknown, long-gone ancient inhabitants of the Minecraft world that the game implies to have once populated the overworld, I don't get a sense of fear and the need to escape. Mostly, I get a sense of hunger and hubris.

Think about it. As the player, why do you build portals? Why do you go through them? Why do you burrow to the bottom of the world? Is it to get away from the creatures of the overworld, when the monsters and dangers you encounter once you leave that grassy surface are far worse? No. Every time you dig deeper into the universe, it becomes more dangerous. When you make that step, you make it from a need and longing to know what lies beyond. Assuming that those ancient people were beings like the player, why would they have been any different?

Why else would you plunge into fire or into void, if not to find what lies on the other side at any cost?

And yet, the dangers that the ancients found on the other side of every door they built were likely their undoing: netherrack and lava creep like a fungus out from the ruined remains of nether portals. Those who traveled to the End never came back to tell the tale, judging from the lack of loot and the cobwebs in the stronghold. And the Deep Dark..... Is that unknown portal in those ruined cities really an escape route from the skulk and the Warden, or yet another door greedily opened to a new plane, accidentally freeing new horrors that leech out and consume? Like the dwarves of Moria, did they delve too greedily and too deep?

As the player, if you could open that portal too, would it be to escape the Warden? Or would you brave the dark in spite of the Warden, just for the chance to see what lies beyond?

What calls to you? Is it fear of the world above, or is it the siren song of the abyss, drawing you ever deeper?

I think the game speaks for itself, after all:

#I'm Thinking #minecraft #emma talks #the deep dark #the wild update #i dunno it's hard to articulate but as someone who's been obsessed with escapism my entire life #there's a deep gulf between the idea of escaping from something and escaping to something #fear vs hunger #keys doors portals rifts exits thresholds. i am looking for them because i need More

Kyle consistently getting concerned whenever Cartman's crying or at the verge of tears cannot be spoken about enough. He wants to support him, he wants to help him. Kyle cares so much about him

#kyman #kyle broflovski #eric cartman #i'm thinking #i'm thinking of the way cartman's vulnerability is like kryptonite to kyle #he just can't reject it #he wants to be there for him #the duality of kyle is insane #he simultaneously wishes to defeat cartman while also wanting to nurture him #drives me nuts #NUTS IM SAYING #basu post

I've been tossing passing thoughts to Blackfoot's Reckoning, chewing on it. It dissatisifes me immsensely-- but how WOULD I fix it?

My problem is that he suddenly has this big one-time event and is said to be Fixed, Cured, now he's promising to Make Good Choices when we see in the narrative, over and over, that this wasn't true. For many years. He repeats the very mistakes (following a malicious actor) he said he would avoid, by name.

So... maybe the problem is, then, that this is a one-time event...?

What if he doesn't get all 9 lives at first, and has to prove himself to earn them?

Oh my goodness, the Steve Harrington brain rot is REAL. Imagine him being your brother’s best friend (or your best friend’s brother) but he’s got the hots for you. One night he stays over (or you stay at your friend’s house) and when everybody goes to bed, he finally gets to have his way with you. He just RUINS you for any other guy 🫠🫠🫠

oh god oh god oh god you just hit on one of my deepest darkest fantasies ok here we go

18+ MINORS DNI

the way i see it working out best is if it's brother's best friend!steve, mostly in terms of timing and location, right. he comes over to your house, he's hanging with your brother and if he stays the night, he's in the guest room. on the couch, at worst. very very easy to slip through the right wrong door and get into the right wrong bed

the first time it happens it's kind of like a dream come true bc come on, it's steve, and you've been in love with him since the first day your brother brought him home after a swim meet and you had to pretend not to be totally turned on by his chlorine scraggly hair drying in the sun.

you almost think it's a joke, really, when he walks into your room and shuts the door quietly, and you lean up on your elbows like, "hello sir??? the guest room is one door down??" and ofc steve just smiles at you and slips under your sheets without being invited, all, "I know :)" and he pulls you under him so quick and you think this must be a dream

but it's not bc he holds his hand over your mouth when he stuffs you full of his fingers, and shushes your little moans when he replaces them with his cock, because, "you don't want your brother to hear, do you? no, we don't want that, cos he'll never let me do this again. I wanna do this again, don't you?"

you do, bc he makes you come twice. it's steve for chrissake. but also he does shit just to get you to make more noise, like sucking on your clit so hard you have to bite your own hand to stop from making a sound. he makes it painfully good and blows your mind for what.

he's such a slut smdh

hey so um. erm. gl!ranboo's dead in a sense, yes, but we saw charlie die or at least be in a state he probably shouldn't have come back from at least twice. so... has anyone checked the body is still in the box?

or has showfall done what it always does and "recycled" him? maybe he will come back, just not as the ranboo we know...

#showfall seems to give its characters multiple alternative lives by killing reviving and rewiring them #are we confident their definition of “die” is the same as ours #i'm thinking #brought back wrong #ranboo #ranboolive #generation loss #genloss #generation loss spoilers #charlie slimecicle #gl!ranboo #genloss theory #ranboo live

I tend to think of Flint as Iliad Odysseus and Silver as Odyssey Odysseus. Sure, they’re the same person except they’re not really when you get down to it. The Odysseus of The Iliad is driven by practicality. His thoughts are on war and he will do horrible things to achieve his ends. He’s good at making speeches, but he’s giving speeches to hardens soldiers and survivors of war. They don’t always listen. He sneaks into enemy territory to kill soldiers in the night. In Hekeba, which is set during the Trojan war, he is the one the Greeks send to convince Hekeba to give up her daughter to be killed. His powers are in commanding others and military strategy.

The Odysseus of the The Odyssey is all about keeping himself safe and getting home. He will sleep with the people he needs to sleep with to survive. He will speak to strangers the way they want to be spoken to so they will feed him. He will stay quiet and bide his time when necessary and he will weave stories and rhetoric to reclaim his power. His goals are different, he’s a different person at a different point in his life. I think whoever Silver is, whatever happened to him before the events of Black Sails, the war has already happened to him. Unlike Flint, he really is looking for that place where he can lay down his oar and walk out of the story.

no bc can diavolos lie detector ass tell when someone's been lied to when they repeat the info back to him or can he only tell if someone's lying if they intend on lying and know that they're wrong

Cuz I'm thinkinggggg Solomon making Mc 100% sure that they're a demon or use a spell to make Mc a good liar so if Lucifer asked, they could lie effectively and he could pass the lie (what he thinks is truth) onto Diavolo
