The Master is such a unique case. Cause all of the shit writing accidentally blended to create awesome characterization for them.

1. Missy was another one of Moffat’s femme fatales, yet it worked cause that’s exactly how the Master would perform femininity. Missy goes hyper feminine with her style and presentation cause it’s all a performance to her.

2. Master’s plan in Power of the Doctor was clearly just Chibnal trying to make a flashy grand finally without thinking through why the Master would actually do any of it. But again it works perfectly cause the master is just dramatic like that. He would cosplay Rasputin just to have the winter palace for the weekend.

3. Simm’s Master getting resurrected in the end of time with a horcrux thing like he’s bloody Voldemort, feels like it should be lazy writing. And maybe it is, but it workssss cause the Master is crazy enough to pull something like that.

#I think ironically it inversely correlates to the Doctor Who Quality vs Budget graph. #I found this in my drafts from October. #the master #doctor who #probably doesn’t make sense but eh it makes. ease to me #dw #the doctor #this is my life now huh #thoschei #dhawan!master #missy #simm!master

Usopp officially smartest character on the show. Franky attempts to beat Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy awake (and why? Hitting people on the head makes them fall asleep generally but not in straw hat universe).

And then Usopp: THERES A HOT MASTER SWORDSMAN EATING MEAT

it works. Also he could’ve said three different things to each of them but I like that he combined everything into one sentence for efficiency.

And then poor chopper, shocked and horrified as usual: THESE GUYS ARE HOPELESS

#notice how badassness seems inversely correlated with competency #one piece #one piece usopp #black leg sanji #roronoa zoro #monkey d. luffy #cyborg franky

you know i must have been bone-tired when this part of the herb brides lore didn't come to my mind when i discussed how the Kin fundamentally differs from the cultures it is inspired by um There Is The Human Sacrifice part. like it's an important part of pathologic 2 that you are doing human, or anthropomorphic (if you want to see the Herb Brides as closer to spirits, which comes with its own set of problematics regarding how to approach their oppression) sacrifice. it's an important part of pathologic 2 that you kill a woman, as part of the journey and in direct resonance with you ritualistically killing cattle earlier, and she offers herself to you with cultural and religious significance.

human sacrifices have been done across the globe for millennia, but i cannot, for the life of me, find any source at all that mentions the Buryats (since that was the discussion point) partaking in human sacrifices by the turn of the 19th-early 20th century (or even anything past the 16th). every single source mentioning offerings and sacrifices i've read mentions animals, things such as milk and vodka, and often both at once. would love to read anything about these rituals if papers exist, but i'm personally drawing a blank.

the Kin has Obvious and very Visible influences but it also differs from specific (in this discussion's case, the Buryats) or wider (here, turkic/mongolic as a whole) cultures from the area by so many pieces, big and small, that i wouldn't have enough appendages on my whole body to count them all. and sister. i have plenty of appendages.

#i AM reading a paper that mentions the human sacrifices at Mongol burials where people (typically servants or family) would be sacrificed #to accompany the dead; as well as the Shor practice of sacrificing women/girls (replaced apparently quickly by sacrificing ducks) #but those seem pretty old [the Mongol part mentions the 13th century] & like. nothing about the buryats in that time period #i'm like 85% sure i saw in the beginning of being into patho someone saying how equating the Kin; who practice human sacrifices [& others] #to correlate/be meant to represent Real Life ethnicities is insulting because They Don't Do That. #and like. everythingggg that touches upon representation/appreciation/appropriation/theft is subjective and #informed my how much leeway you're willing to give the creators so that's like #bro i'm just reading PDFs #also just found out the discussion of ''The Kin Is Obviously Inspired But Not Meant To Represent [x]'' is over 2yrs old. we're still at it. #as anon said. ''unless you're tolkien; coming up with a whole fictional language is hard''. #anyways appendage time. stuff that differs just out of the top of my head: #everything relating to the religion which is almost a complete inverse of buryat tengrist/shamanic faith + don't get me started on buddhism #the clothes. the homes. the creation myths; beyond the apparition of Clay; which is present in so many cultures on earth #no swan ancestor. no lake worship. no sky/heavens. no tens of named hierarchical deities. NO BURBOT! no hats. no hats (burts into tears) #NO HORSES? ON THE EURASIAN STEPPE? #the belief that earth mustn't be cut is so buryat. i'm sure i've read it. no idea if it is also in other mongolic peoples but buryat it is. #also a bull-ancestor/bull totem. that exists in buryat tribes; but they also have a bunchhhhh of other sacred animals (including. swans. #also horses. there's this [charm?] made out of horse hair there is) #neigh (blabbers) #i'm realizin how crazy i sound repeating shit that has been said 2yrs ago but like someone already mentioned the human sacrifice. #someone already mentioned the clothes. someone already mentioned the yurts/gers. someone already mentioned the religion #like i'm just. repeating stuff. and yet. give it up for year 2

Pst, in case anyone wants more of an idea of what Restructuring (E, modern AU) is actually about, I've popped a summary that actually summarises under the read more.

Stede is disinherited and loses his job at the family business when he comes out. After searching for a place to rent, he ends up living in a disused doctor's office in Central London with a bunch of LGBT strangers in their thirties. The catch? They can all be evicted at any time.

Meanwhile, five minutes down the road, Ed lives alone with the millions he's made as an asset stripper. Following years of tearing apart restaurants and shops and selling their fineries to the highest bidder, he's looking to get out, but what does a man who specialises in destruction do in retirement?

Ed and Stede have a chance encounter and immediately make a connection, but there's a catch: Stede panics, lies and says he's wealthy, while Ed panics, lies and says he isn't. But there are people and places connecting the two - and driving them apart. Can they stop the past from destroying their future?

(Spoiler: obviously yes, this is a romcom)

#see this is why I don't write proper summaries #I'm having a blast writing this but there's absolutely an inverse correlation between hits and the amount of mummy issues in my stuff #But sadly Ed Teach having mummy issues is a hill I'm willing to die on #(And no I'm not projecting who said anything about projecting)

#wish I didn’t have to work full time bc so much of my time goes to that blerg #I like my job but it keeps me real busy #anyway tempted to compile all the drawings into a big image on a calendar to see how well weekends correlate with more detail lol #inverse problem.txt

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian have one of the healthiest relationships I've ever read in fiction despite their perceived power imbalance because of mutual respect - where mutual respect is defined as 1) a certain amount of self confidence in their own abilities and actions, 2) belief and trust in each others' abilities and actions, and 3) acceptance of each others' past actions. In this essay I will-

#hua cheng #xie lian #hualian #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #companion piece: how the strength of hua chengs devotion both off-sets the perceived power imbalance and inversely correlates to it

> "Some of you will call me sexist because I find most men to be intolerable and dumb as a rock! And to that, I say, I spiked the divorce rate on my own -- and do you know what goes down when the divorce rate goes up? Male mortality!"

> "It's true! Your wives has no choice but to poison you or have you die under mysterious circumstances! Now you're alive and in your divorced dad arc! Victims of divorce court should thank me! You could have been a victim of murder instead! But you weren't! You're welcome! I'm the number one ally to other men, jot that down!"

#hot takes with al (broadcast) #// canonically alastor gets along better with women and finds most men to be brutish and dumb or smth. it's true. #oh but yeah its also true that divorce and male mortality are inversely correlated. bc before women could leave their abusive husbands #they would just have to like... poison them and shit. so alexa is telling the truth about that but obviously him allegedly throwing dick #at anyone and everyone in the 1960's did not save any lives.

The better the tumblr post, the less notes it has

#there is an inverse correlation #like when I see a post reblogged on my dash with less than 50 notes #it’s like top tier quality #tumblr

technically the purple thing started back when cassie was a dormouse, so i probably should transform it so its a diff color bc she doesnt have much if any correlation to the original anymore besides the fighty and otherwise bs, but then... purple

#half the reason i made cassie and willy a dual muse is theyre both purple #tho in o/uat verse while cassie mostly wears purple if on her own. jefferson dresses her in blue #is there correlation to that and the fact her and alice are v v connected mentally in certain realms and #arguably the ches/hire c/at is the inverse side of her mind??? maybe #but also i do usually use blue tabby's for cassies cat form #but thats mostly bc there arent exactly real purple cats #until like the full like. a/mr style shift wherein fur gone lol #out.

Oof the telltale sign of me not liking a game, pulling up the map on a wiki so I don’t have to do the work

#living la vida valerie #game pref is inversely correlated to time spent on an external guide #the game isn’t even difficult i literally just don’t care #I actively withhold resources for games I like bc I want to play it to the fullest but I can’t be bothered here OTL
