Today on petty academic feuds: Frog has been raising her baby Amaro and thought it would be funny to sit where Erenville was going to pass by so that he'd see her weird bird and have to stop and have a headache about it.
She tells him to wait right there and spends several hundred gil of her own money on teleporting to the Crystarium to grab a book about Amaro rearing and run back.
He holds it like she just gave him the Voynich Manuscript and told him it was science.

me: hermes is a painfully accurate example of how some ways of defending yourself against certain kinds of insidious emotional abuse, gaslighting, ableism, and therapy speak can warp you into a person whose learned helplessness and lack of perspective can result in doing really shitty things, and who passes that abuse along in different forms (hi meteion) + lashes out in disproportionate ways + can be deeply hypocritical.
me: as a disabled person in a society where our systemic mass murder via pressure into government-sanctioned suicide is on the rise, the ancients' society is beyond fucking upsetting to me. i have zero sympathy for anything to do with them pre-apocalypse except for the effects of living in that system.
me: that said, they are a good opportunity to remind oneself that there are children in that burning building; that a society being fucked does not mean they deserve to be wiped out; and that that does not mitigate the harm they do, nor mean that its victims are not allowed to be angry or resist it, including the victims inside it.
me, booboo the fool: oh, this youtube essay about hermes looks interesting--

Knowledge and Religion
“Be religious, my son; Religion is lofty philosophy. Without philosophy there is no lofty religion. He who instructs himself concerning the universe, its laws and its principles, its beginning and its end, gives thanks for all things to the Creator, as to a gracious father, a good protector, a faithful teacher. This is religion and by means of it we know where truth is, and what it is. Knowledge increases religion. For when once the soul imprisoned in the body, has lifted itself to the perception of the real Good and of Truth, she cannot again fall back.”
— Hermes Trismegistus, The Virgin of the World

If I tell him to do something while they're out at the same time and give him a treat for it you can bet she's going to suddenly appear and start copying whatever he's doing to get treats too

the thing w hermes and charon (eyrie’s azem) is that the two of them were close. close enough to share their struggles and their strife. being so close to death, grief and the struggles of existence charon understood hermes internal strife. how much life is worth; they understood what life meant.
charon was never quick to use creation magicks, especially not creating living beings. they cared not for the creation of life, but it’s endings. dignity, honor—the price of creation. maybe if they weren’t so occupied with their duties, or not as isolated as Hermes was, they might have taken the same road as him. but for all their understanding and their closeness, they couldn’t stop hermes

Ive been rewatching the Justice League 2001 animated series cause its been a while since I watched it. and the bit were luthor finds out he has a blood disease from kryptonite was something I had forgotten about. I was listening to music when a full idea tapped at me.
tw: terminal illness discussion
preface, in my chilly batson au lex luthor and mirror master, sam scudder are friends.
anywho, I was thinking how that scenario would play out. I would edit it a bit, that the same experiment with kripotnite in his youth that caused him to loose his hair also gave him the underlying disease that was not caught till recently (this way it can be his fault but also not from carrying a radioactive rock in his pocket that he should have been keeping in a case om gosh luthor you idiot)
it would be fairly similar to the show where he cant really accept it at first. But Superman is not the one trying to comfort him, its an actual friend. Luthor tries to solve it because that's what he does, but he also is less focused on revenge against superman for 'causing' this. He eventually settles into focusing on legacy and grows further withdrawn. He spends more and more time with the rogues as he finds a replacement. He finds it hard to see a world without him in it, but he finds that he does not want to be forgotten if he can not save himself.
there is a lot of late night crisis's of realizing that he is dying. and coming to terms with that.
he strikes me as the type to keep working and running the parts of the company that he can, because work makes him happy. But he also spends a lot of his final days playing chess. He sees some of his words of advice impacting the younger rogues and wonders if that is what it means to be immortal. To influence the future beyond his own life by speaking into the lives of those younger than him.
he leaves a lot of his anti-superman gear to the rogues. Just in case. He never did much trust superman not to snap or get fully mind controlled one day. and he trusts the rogues more than most of the other villains he has worked with.
anyways. i was listening to:
