#not really lol

[vynnyal]

OK, fair warning to the few people I actually managed to convince to try the game??

Rain world does NOT play like hollow knight, and you'll get your butt kicked if you approach it like that.

It's really hard. Like, really hard. Instead of the game literally giving you abilities in the form of power-ups and damage buffs, the only abilities you gain is from what you learn and your own ingenuity. You're a rat from beginning to end. If you just beef your way through it, it's gonna suck and you're gonna be confused and frustrated all the time. But if you pay attention, take it slow, and learn how the ai works and how everything interacts with each other, you can consistently get through and dominate situations you thought were impossible to do so when you first began. Now get out there, kill some lizards, and bully some old computers!

#blabbing.txt #rainworld #rain world #art #rivulet #hunter #spoilers #not really lol #Other notes that I left out because I wanted it short and sweet: #There is movement tech out the ears in this game. And it's all there from the very beginning. Literally nothing has to be unlocked #If you learn how to do rolls and slides and boosts the game gets so fast and fun #And learning this stuff takes real work! The timing is REALLY tight on some of those moves #Battling enemies is it's whole separate skillset too. Like there are so many things you can do #So many ways to murder ✨✨✨✨ #Some of the best moments are times where you pull a 360 noscope on a cyan and send it tumbling through the air into the void #And doing your first slide-throw into a lizards underbelly #So risky but so rewarding #AND THIS IS ALL JUST THE BASE GAME! #The dlc is literally a mod that got so big the devs saw it and helped fund it #It adds so much to the game. Literally the mod devs asked themselves what crazy thing a slugcat could do #Coded it #And was like uhhh how does this fit into the lore #So that's how we got boomcat and Jesus Cat #I literally talked to one of the devs by chance (they're pretty active. You can just ask them stuff) and they admitted as such #It's great! gameplay first at its peak! #Anyways give the game a shot. If you want to Get Gud at a game rainworld is for you. It's a game entirely about skill #Not to mention... 400+ hours in and I'm still not done with the game #Prepare for the long haul

The Shredder telling his ninjas abt Lil Mikey: he has no rules. No boundaries. He doesn't flinch at torture, human trafficking, or genocide. He's not loyal to a flag or country or any set of ideals.

Rewatch Cars 2 and wow Francesco has a big crush on Lightning, huh?

I mean, he watches Lightning race before going to sleep?

Make a custom bumber sticker, just for Lightning (which is the equivalent of those word booty shorts, as I've seen many people depict it lol, sure taunt your "competitor" by having his name on your ass, very intimidating, Francie)

He gives off major bratty guy having a crush and does not know what to do with it, so he stick to acting mean to catch the crush's attention.

He's the "I hate Lightning McQueen" then hang up pictures of him in his bedroom meme

Tbh it's ok, Francesco. I have a crush in Lightning too, i mean look at him!

If he looks at me like this, I'd trip over my own feet

#lightning mcqueen #cars 2 #francesco bernoulli #Do I ship them? #not really lol #but Francesco having a crush on Lightning is so funny #i also like to bully him a bit #Francesco wants to kiss Lightning so bad it make him looks stupid #rambles

Fyodor will live theory

uhhh late theory

Let’s talk first about his resemblance and references to Christianity and Jesus.

This is obviously Fyodor, however the season in which these pics where from was the 4th season, in the episode 2. This was a great parallelism to Jesus before dying, a LOT of people watching and Jesus being on the cross, and with Fyodor it is the SAME, only difference being that 1- it was Fyodor instead of Jesus and 2- Fyodor has clothes (specifically of the prison).

Into the next similarity to Jesus and reference to Christianity

In this scene, he says the same thing Jesus did before dying in Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46.

Let’s also talk about how he thinks of himself as a ‘God-sent’ while Jesus is literally God-sent, and both Jesus and Fyodor are shown as somehow cruel or bad because of God (Jesus refused to heal someone, Jesus engaged in a long harangue against the scribes and pharisee and he also used a whip of braided cords and drove merchants and money lenders out of the outer courtyard of the temple. Fyodor does things that in other’s eyes can be considered as cruel or bad but in his eyes everything he does is good and in the name of God.)

Let’s go now to the theory itself why Fyodor is alive,

In this official art, Fyodor has his arm hidden and it’s the SAME arm where he got his hand hurt and the SAME arm that he was took away by Dazai.

Fyodor’s backstory still hasn’t been revealed, and in the chapter 111, he says that Dazai was his most formidable foe since that man, which could mean Fyodor getting a backstory finally.

In this scene, which is in the untold origins of the agency, Fyodor appears crucified in his prison clothes and with the wounds that he got in chapter 111 of the manga and episode 11 of s5, however he doesn’t appear without one of his arms, which was supposedly took away by Dazai.

In this scene, Fyodor’s arm got off a bit too easily, which shouldn’t be like that since even though he got crushed by a rock, it wouldn’t make sense for it to come off that easily.

Let’s also talk about his out of character things.

Fyodor chooses to not take the antidote before going into the helicopter, which is out of character asf because if he is going to die in less than 15 or even 10 minutes the most logical thing to do would be to take the antidote as fast as possible, not to go to the helicopter and take the antidote inside.

Let’s also talk about Chuuya’s acting, because even though Fyodor did look surprised, there is no way he actually fell for it, for this we have to go to the Ace vs Fyodor chapter.

Fyodor led Ace to believe that he had a space/consciousness controller ability, Fyodor memorized the scratches of each single card, which made him won, not to mention, he had seen how Ace was listening to his conversation with Karma, which is why he lied and he himself gave false information to the one who kidnapped him, and what was it all for? To get the secrets of the pm executives and even the boss himself. He even drove Ace to kill himself, which was a pm executive and also a very intelligent man. So, how could Fyodor fall for Chuuya’s act? Let’s go to why he probably didn’t believe Chuuya’s act.

First of all, Chuuya’s skin isn’t the same as the other vampires, let’s compare Chuuya’s skin to Akutagawa’s one.

See the difference? Even though in canon Chuuya is a good actor, there are different things, one being his costume for the act to the act itself, and let’s admit that the act itself wasn’t that great, he grabbed his hat under the water, he putted his hands on his waist when walking and even when not.

When Chuuya was walking Fyodor should have known that it wasn’t a vampire because he was using vampires to communicate to the exterior.

Dazai's reaction is also weird, the expression he has is definitely not one would have after defeating a enemy, his expression is unsure, doubtable, and even going out of his expression, the way he speaks isn't his usual self, and even chuuya notices

Having took all those facts he probably didn’t believe Chuuya’s act despite him supposedly being surprised when he saw Chuuya again, and I say supposedly because it could have been an act considering how he got sigma to believe his act.

Let’s also mention that Fyodor ‘commanded’ Chuuya to kill Dazai when there wasn’t really any need, because Fyodor could have just escaped after letting Sigma unconscious and let Dazai die from either the poison or just bled out, he knew that if Dazai got to touch Chuuya, Chuuya ‘wouldn’t’ be on Fyodor’s side anymore, which can actually mean that he knew Chuuya wasn’t a vampire, not to mention he looks VERY confident that Dazai would be dead.

So, what does this bring us to? Fyodor faked his death, but why and what other proves are there for this conclusion? His arm got off too easily and his ‘corpse’ was never shown AT ALL, Fyodor is a very smart man so there is absolutely NO WAY he is dead when 1- his backstory hasn’t been showed, 2-it would be very abrupt to kill Fyodor and lastly, 3- it wouldn’t make sense.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this theory

curated list of scholarly articles

i asked if people would like a curated list of scholarly articles i’ve read throughout my last year of university and the people (on instagram) said yes

these are largely discursive/conceptual readings because if i included my area study articles ... it would be really long

Post-colonialism

Denevan M. William. “THE “PRISTINE  MYTH ” REVISITED”

This is a critique of the narrative that the Americas prior to colonization was “virginal” and “untouched”. Such narrative contributes to the erasure of Indigenous presence in the region and falls into the idea of the “noble savage”. I really recommend this and think it can be applied to other parts of the world (Central Asia comes to mind for me, personally).

Nixon, Rob. “Environmentalism and Postcolonialism”

Recommend reading this with the Denevan article.

Oyěwùmí, Oyèrónkẹ́. “Colonizing Bodies and Minds: Gender and Colonialism”

A revelating piece on how colonization not only established a global hierarchy based on race but also made widespread the patriarchy. Utilizing the Yoruba as an example, Oyěwùmí describes the material consequences of these effects and the psychological ones. A good primer in understanding colonialism as both gendered and racialized. 

Sajed, Alina.“Fanon, Camus and the global colour line: colonial difference and the rise of decolonial horizons”

Sajed provides a comparative analysis of Albert Camus, an Algeria-born French philosopher (part of the settler population, essentially), and Frantz Fanon, an Afro-Martinican scholar, on their narratives surrounding the Algerian War of Independence. This comparison serves to highlight some of the “blind spots” of Camus’ framing – that being the titular “colonial difference” and its specificity of enacting violence.

Spivak, Gayatri. “Can the Sub-Altern Speak?”

A fundamental text within postcolonial studies that touch upon the need for intersectionality and nuance within academic discourse (particularly in regard to women and the disprivileged classes). This is an extremely difficult text, in my opinion, due to the amount of academic jargon – but its significance within the field and message makes attempting to read this worth it. 

Simon  Granovsky-Larsen   and  Larissa  Santos. “From the war on terror  to  a  war  on  territory: corporate counterinsurgency at the Escobal mine and the Dakota Access Pipeline”

A case study of two infamous examples of corporations utilizing violence in order to pursue their goals and how this method may become popularized amongst extractivist companies.

Global Health

Hickel, Jason. “The contradiction of the sustainable development goals: Growth versus ecology on a finite planet”

An illuminating critique not just of standard global health efforts but also of the myth of economic development. 

Moncrieff, Joanna “The Political Economy of the Mental Health System: A Marxist Analysis”

Provides an overview of the history and function of mental health asylums in early English society and how the medicalization/creation of mental health illnesses maintains yet reveals the limitations of capitalism. Highly recommend this reading, it is quite fascinating.

Muntaner, Carles, et al.“Precarious Employment Conditions, Exploitation, and Health in Two Global Regions: Latin America and the Caribbean and East Asia”

you guys get scared everytime a new female character is introduced and listen, i get it, i’ve been queerbaited one too many times myself, but you need to remember everything we have gotten BEFORE this came out... also we know he’s most likely interested in her because he .. recently... died??? he wants to better understand that. (also shes hot as fuck like cmon he has eyes) but seriously ... just think about all the content we’ve gotten since 6b aired... consider why the couch metaphor is going through until the very last scene buck has this season... it wouldn’t make sense to show us buck, being able to fall asleep right away on eddies couch, then questioning it himself (”how did i pass out so fast?) and then not have that come into play somehow. 

like it would not make sense for the entire couch metaphor to even EXIST just to give buck a love interest he’s just met.

again, i understand, we’re all a bit on edge and have been hurt too many times before, but this all is happening for a reason. there will be a conclusion to the whole couch of it all and it literally points nowhere else but buddie.

just breathe guys, we got this <3
