And the road she'd roll,

Round the side of the mountain with nowhere to go.

But the heart we know, when it's lovin',

It's leanin' toward bein' alone.

Someday I'll find the mind to mend it,

And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet.

I’ve been thinking about this Chell design for the past couple of days so I wanted to draw it before I went to bed

#chell #portal 2 #portal #sad autistic woman #lonely sad #friend in space #friend in ground #all alone in the big scary world #naive falsehoods of freedom and self preservation will not save you from the harsh winters ahead Chell #there are no humans for 1000 miles #was it worth it?#for your ‘freedom’?

The way the Xianle trio answer the “two wanderers, one cup of water” dilemma is fascinating. Starting with Mu Qing and Feng Xin:

The Head Priest spoke, “Two walked the desert, about to die from thirst, and there was only one cup of water. The one who drinks lives, the one who doesn’t, dies. If you were a god, who would you give that cup of water to? - - Don’t speak yet, I’ll ask the other two and see how they answer.”

The last part of his words were directed to the two standing not too far behind. Mu Qing contemplated and responded cautiously, “May I ask who those two people are, what their natures are like, and what of their merits? A decision can only be made once all the details are known.”

Feng Xin on the other hand, answered, “I don’t know! Don’t ask me, tell them to decide amongst themselves!”

—Chapt. 68: To Ascend is Human; to Fall is Also Human (Part Three)

It may seem that Mu Qing and Feng Xin have given different answers, they are actually the same. Mu Qing says that the person who he’d give the water to is one who is found valuable in the eyes of societal hierarchy. Feng Xin says that he would give the water to whoever they decide on “amongst themselves,” which outsources the issue to the individuals to decide by which test they would choose to pick the winner, either by debate or fighting, etc. But both of these are still putting a set value on an individual’s life, indirectly saying that they believe there to be some objective value or morally neutral scenario that would make sacrificing someone’s life not only permissible but morally correct.

Xie Lian, on the other hand, has an entirely different, effortless response:

Xie Lian turned his head back and said in all seriousness, “Why are you guys laughing? I’m serious. If I was god, I would definitely give another cup.”

Feng Xin and Mu Qing accepted the premise that, despite being gods, they are limited. Xie Lian rebelled against this same assumption, because if he is a god, why shouldn’t he be able to procure just one more cup of water for just one individual on the verge of death by thirst? Why would a god not be able to save everyone he wants to? Guoshi gives an answer:

The Head Priest gently shook that cup of tea in his hand, and the tea swirled in the cup, as if alive. He continued, “All the fortunes in the world, good or bad, are limited. Just like this cup of water, there’s only so much. Once you’ve drunken your fill, there’d be no more left for others. If one receives more, the other must receive less. Throughout the ages, all conflicts are borne from the fact that there are many in this world, but only one cup of water, and no matter who it’s given to there’d be a good reason. You want to change fate? It’s difficult but not impossible. But if you change that child’s life, someone else’s life will also be changed, and more grudges shall be created. Once upon a time you said to just give another cup of water, just like today how you wanted to choose a third path. Your intention is to expand the source; a beautiful thought. But, I will tell you, it’s impossible.”

So tacitly, Guoshi also believes the same as Feng Xin and Mu Qing, that everything is finite and everyone is limited, even the gods. As the story goes on, we are given countless scenarios in which Xie Lian is limited as both a human crown prince, a beloved god, and a banished wanderer. However, he continues to stick with his answer that he would find a way to give two cups. How? Well, for all of Guoshi’s talk of the limits of resources in the world, neither he nor the other two ever took into account one thing: the god can give his own cup to the second thirsty person.

And as long as Xie Lian’s cup is flowing, he has something to give to save one more life.

#human reads tgcf: take 1.5 #human metas mxtx #ignoring for a moment the idea of sacrificing populations because of 'limited resources' being grounded in a eugenics falsehood #that we are limited in resources to begin with rather than a very small portion of humans being very VERY greedy and hoarding it #let's talk about how xie lian's answers to 'no there are limits' is:#then i'll give from my own pockets #'i'll disperse my fortune and wealth and strength #as long as it means one more person can live another day'#THAT is the kind of person xie lian is

(forgot to post this a day ago bc i fell asleep but whatever-) y'all i have spent like the last hour waiting for class to end and doing nothing while my (mostly male) classmates cause havoc and i didn't even notice the whole time what i drew on the top of my fingers- (cw..! hand reveal, mainly cause i wanna show y'all what is on ny hands bc I am too tried to draw it instead- besides I'm terrible when it comes to hands)

i had law hands except only my left hand says D E A T H while my right hand is written with letters that spell; H E A R T , and it kinda reminds me of the time when i was getting into one piece and was just finding out about law and i thought one of law's hands says "heart" instead of both hands being tatted with the word "death"

#thedemises; one piece #thedemises; my daily life #one piece #trafalgar law #trafalgar law's tattoos #hand reveal #i might use my own hands as reference actually #if i ever tried to draw law in a complex manner than simpler #i didn't notice it until a classmate said “death?” to me - looking directly at my hands #high school #school #im tired #i am /so/ tired #implied donquixote “corazón” rosinante #I honestly though law tattooed his right hand with the word “heart” bc itmakes sense with him & corazón's sweet platonic relationship #and how law saw corazón as someone he can trust and he tatted the word “heart” on his hand to feel some connection to cora #but cora-san was unfortunately taken away from him by doflamingo #btw i just realized i never call doflamingo “doffy” and if I do call him something else it'd be luffy's way of calling him - mingo #might start calling him “flam-ingo” bc flam means 1. “a falsehood; deception; or sham. 2. nonsense; drivel.”#idc what yoy say about doflamingo I hate him in my opinion #but you guys are apparently allergic to opinions of oneself

If only there was a way to combine the more nuanced Wind Waker Ganondorf with the horrific war criminals that we see in ToTK ans OoT. Cause if we’re being honest… Wind Waker Ganondorf isn’t this alltime active threat, but the tradoff is that we’ve gotten more from him other than just pure evil. Meanwhile ToTK and OoT Ganondorf are complete monsters, yet they’re easily the scariest takes on the guy because of the ongoing list of warcrimes under their belt, presence, and their constant activity. A perfect Ganondorf, if we’re being honest, might just have to merge those 3 portrayals of the character into one single nuanced, yet monstrous villain.

Yeah! I think there is 100% a way to do that. A good combination of drive and delusion and also maybe like 10% of something that makes you a liiittle uncomfortable as a player even though he should absolutely be stopped because he will just destroy everything otherwise... That sounds extremely doable to me! I even see how this could have been the case in TotK with very little changes.

But, in my opinion, TotK was just.... not that interested in Ganondorf, honestly? Beyond the cool gameplay opportunities he provides? I have tagged another post about that recently but I suspect Fujibayashi isn't really into Ganondorf as a character since he never appeared in any other game he directed (except occasionally as a Pig for like 2 seconds), and the closest take we ever got before TotK was Demise in SS, and we know how that affected the fandom's understanding of Ganondorf as a whole. It could absolutely be something else, this is 100% projection and speculation on my part, but I'm noooot sure he super gets why people resonated with the character, and that Ganondorf was put in TotK because Nintendo knew about how people were excited to see him again rather than because they actually had a great idea about what they wanted him to do here?

#asks #totk #totk critical #totk spoilers #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war...#ganondorf #thanks for the ask!!#I mean at LEAST he's still not into zelda kissing the earth about it every morning #that this very lame pop culture osmosis understanding of the chararacter is STILL just a falsehood #and people are happy to see him again!!! yay!!! and I'm happy as well!!#I just wish it didn't feel as hamfisted tbh

My pitbull is completely convinced that everyone at the weed dispensary is there specifically to say hi to him. People love him there so much (and he loves so much that they showed up today just for him) that today he attempted to become the store greeter and sat right at the door as people walked in.

And while queer stoners apparently love pitbulls, I had to pull him away - Romeo does NOT understand he is 80 pounds of muscle and teeth and therefore cannot lie in wait at the only entrance into a building, no matter his intentions. He is just stumped by it. After all, as far as he knows, he is an extremely tiny guy! Maybe even the tiniest! He may actually be TOO tiny! Perhaps that is why people fear him. They think he is a mouse, for no dog has ever been so smol, so miniscule. But fear not, everyone - it is only Romeo!

Alas, for every chihuahua that thinks it is a pitbull, there is a pitbull what thinks it is a chihuahua. But good news they both have anxiety!!!!

#original #doggos #pitbulls #pibbles #romeo #i am very careful with him i know people are scared of dogs very often and he is actually very well trained.#and frankly there is no judgment when folks are scared of - well of any dog - but especially of him #anti pitbull sentiment is based on falsehoods but wariness of large predator animals that could beat you in a fight is like. i get that.#he is a scary looking motherfucker. especially if you don't understand dog body language like... really well at times.#like it can be fairly obvious when a dog is happy but it is often not obvious when it is anxious. and a scared dog is a dangerous dog.#luckily romeo is a very friendly guy so mostly i just spend the time at the weed store getting complimented on my dog #and keeping him from saying hello to people and dogs who aren't interested in him #he loves like his namesake: with his whole being and in a way that is often wildly inconvenient for everyone involved #he had an insanely intense playful dog friend in our old city named Barbara. she was his Mercutio.#the world is his Juliet.#not art #see jack talk

There's a game that I play / There are rules I had to break / There's mistakes that I made / But I made them my way...

#em draws stuff #em is certainly not posting about bigglesworth #<- biggles containment tag which is a blatant falsehood #sorta a style study of my great-granddad but not very much #the good bigglesface remains elusive and evs is just drawn after the way subsequentibis draws revolver ocelot #like his pointy eyelash-y little face so I Borrow It :3 #caption lyrics are from 'this night' by black lab #and also the date in the signature is wrong... I drew this on the fourth. what was that about.

my absolute number 1 rule for not spreading misinformation and dogwhistles on the internet is if a post mentions a "they" and does not explicitly and clearly state who "they" are, you don't share it. unfortunately every day i see this rule broken. do better.

#'but i agree with everything else-'#yeah that's the point #it's not about blatant falsehoods #it's about shifting blame #from specific individuals and institutions #to an unspecified 'other' ready to be filled by whatever group is the most convenient scapegoat #and because that scapegoat is so often jews #yes this is #antisemitism
