If Russia cannot participate in Eurovision because of the war, Israel also shouldn't be able to participate.
I know this is controversial, but I said what I said.

I am going to try and hide at the convention. So a 3D printed copper symbol to the seekers at the convention who manage to pierce my copper cloud and recognise my cosplay.

Apologies for being a bit quiet. My brother is very sick and I’ve been at the hospital or otherwise distracted by conversations about palliative care. I’m a little bit muddled at the moment, and not entirely fit for polite company. Please bear with me.

I've seen many posts, and video essays, and what have you about how harmful it is for stories with disabled characters to "cure" them at some point of the story, or as their conclusion.
And I understand, I totally understand the reason why it is. We are a complete person with and without our disabilities, we do not need to be cured to be loved and understood. And society needs to learn that once and for all.
But as a disabled person myself... That is a kind of fantasy I relish in, sometimes. Not when it's a gift, or something easy, because I know that a path to recovery is anything but a walk in the park. I cannot really connect with those, and they anger me in a way. No, I'm talking about something like what Viktor does in Arcane.
He is fucking willing to awaken the void to be able to run and walk again, to save himself. And fuck if that doesn't resonate with me.
I am very aware that in the text, this is framed as a bad thing. It costs the life of a person, and there is no justification for that. I know that it is meant to represent an obsession with a future that cannot be, and how that is killing him, transforming him into something he is not.
But that boat scene is just... He runs, against the boats in the background, winning the race, for the first time in who knows how long, perhaps for the first time ever. A masterful parallelism with that scene with him as a child, when he couldn't keep up with his toy boat. The scream, the catharsis of being able to finally do it... The obsession with more that comes afterwards.
Fucking hell, I wish more stories would do that.
I know that ultimately this is framed as a bad thing, that he shouldn't be doing that. Probably the story would want him to accept reality and wait, patiently, for his inevitable demise. Probably, that's what the story thinks is the moral thing to do. Afterall, I am aware that in the original League of Legends lore Viktor is a villain. I know we probably aren't meant to sympathize with him.
But I cannot look at him and not see a part of myself in that struggle.

HOUSE!
There is a photo mode, but... there's no ability to pan up or down, which is very frustrating from a framing standpoint, nor lighting options. Or I'm just spoiled by gpose. BUT! House get, and commencing saving up for more rooms! You appear to be able to choose where new rooms are built, which is neat! I've already extended my plot in anticipation hah

Quick personal update. I’ve been recently bereaved (like yesterday) and whilst I’m trying to keep a stiff upper lip and just get on with things, I might be a bit slow or inconsistent with interacting for a little while. Please accept my apologies for being uncharacteristically subdued. I won’t go into unnecessary personal details, as I don’t want to bring anyone down, but it’s been pretty grim.
