#p 97

[scobbe]

Reading on early Christian asceticism and came across this gem:

“Most churches rejected the Jewish food laws which sometimes led to surprising exegesis: the Epistle of Barnabas apparently explained Mosaic prohibition on eating the weasel as a ban on oral sex.”

How we did not end up with “eating the weasel” as a euphemism I’ll never know.

I keep reminding myself that not everyone has read every possible githyanki/githzerai related source going back to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Fiend Folio. Not everyone has this level of Special Interest. Not everyone is actively trying to track down good hard copies of most of these books. Nor is anyone obligated to do so.

So here you go: I'm going to explain why "githzerai good/githyanki evil" is completely reductive, not in line with the lore, and would be ridiculous to add to BG3.

The githzerai are far, far, FAR from saints, and including them in BG3 would just muddy the waters further. They aren't just running around being the good to the githyanki's evil. And never have been. They've been chaotic neutral since the Fiend Folio, and they did not become Chaotic Good in the years since. In fact, I'd make the argument that, based on their canonical behavior right up to the present, "chaotic evil" would be an appropriate alignment.

Back in second-edition D&D, in the Planescape Book of Chaos, there's an entire section on a credible rumor that the githzerai are working on a ritual that will allow them to pull githyanki out of the Astral Plane into their city so they can "punish them for their evil." (Page 76, if you're curious.) Dragon magazine #306 (an official source), there's an article entitled "Killing Cousins." It details the gith-attala, or...cousin hunters, githzerai who specialize in hunting down and killing githyanki. They go after githyanki anywhere, but in particular strongholds on the Material Plane. As of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (again, official source), it's explicitly stated on page 305 that the githzerai are "always on the lookout for githyanki plots to foil and creches to exterminate."

If we encountered githzerai in BG3, the most likely place to do so would be outside the creche, planning an attack that would have targeted eggs, hatchlings, and children.

The githyanki aren't coming from a place of moral good. But neither are the githzerai. Simplifying it down to good vs evil does the entire story of the species a disservice.

[lycheelovescomics]

need people to pick up some modicum of critical thinking and wonder that maybe, it's possible, that the show is critiquing how it's always the same two men's dreams that come into conflict about how to move forward vs or with the rest of humanity ... and that maybe, just maybe, the answer could be (surprise!!) a secret third or even fourth option that doesn't include them?

because ororo did tell jean that they ought to believe not in a dream or for their gifts/powers... but in each other 👀

I hate to say it but a lot of the fucked up stuff in Berserk is what makes it good actually

#and i do not mean this in an edgelord way but just like #the darkness of the world makes the light parts shine harder in contrast #makes the struggle of the characters attempting to salvage their humanity and hope and relationships and happiness more impressive to watch #not to mention just how much of the worldbuilding and art style and themes are only able to be fully expressed #by including much of the more cruel and horrific and darker more imaginative stuff #i am thinking about this because of watching the berserk 97 anime btw #like im not sure i would even want to watch some of the worst parts of the berserk manga animated bc its hard to stomach #but ALSO seeing the story toned down and made a bit more run of the mill and tame and less fantastical and intense #isnt really doing it for me either? #definitely glad i was first introduced to it with the manga i just dont think any adaptation #will quite be able to compare #berserk #p

#800 - Funeral - Arcade Fire

Despite having been one of my biggest musical betrayals, starting with their fifth album and culminating in the revelation of Win Butler being a giant creep...this still holds up. One of the defining indie rock albums, a work that, had Butler's vocals been more confident, would have gotten a perfect score. As it stands, Pitchfork had it right.

97/100
