like any good library, it will leave you with more questions than answers. (that way you keep reading.) questions like, “who really slipped me this note?” or “has that man always been right handed?” and even still, “where have they misplaced my hatbox now?”    —   or alternatively titled, a stay at the hotel denouement.

#so my mom's wake thing was today and that was a lot. not in an emotional sense but in a im standing here talking for 3hrs #to ppl i dont kno or barely kno. ya kno? but it was good bc so many ppl showed up to talk abt her #so many people. my mom made a huge impact on the school system. so many ppl relied on her. she encouraged at least 2 ppl to get their #master. for one person to specilize in helping the dyslexic after her experience advocating for 3 dyslexic daughters. she wrote and was #awarded a 10000 dollar grant for special needs and intervention curriculum. which will affect so many lives. #everyone loved her. she's gonna get a track meet named after her and a scholarship created in her honor. #she was an amazing person and she affected a lot of lives and im glad she was my mom. and she raised at least one jem in my littlest #sister who is so sweet and is a great teacher. god but there was some weird stuff too. were pretty sure her old boss was in love with her. #and there were some weird comments abt her being a strong woman or this woman doing so much and its like hm y do i detect a note of sexism #y not say she was an amazing person? y the surprise? weird comments about how pretty i looked. which yes i looked great lol. my funeral fit #was cute. we did bright colors bc it was a celebration not a dower event. and im sure it was ment well but it was a lil weird. and then #everyone was telling my grandma what a great job she did raising my mom and like god fuck off she didn't do jack. my mom was great despite #her terrible mother. ugh. but altogether it was good that everyone was able to express their love for her. it was def a day that was for #them mostly. i mean partly for us but mostly for them. none of us even cried. ay but we have 2 more parties in her honor #bc everyone loved her so much we have to do one in her hometown too. plus a personal friends get together. ugh. im so tired #i wish i wasnt the most awkward. eye contact avoidant person in the room but like ya kno. what can ya do? #unrelated

Sometimes it’s okay to not be happy with what you make, especially when it’s something new.

#my art #traditional art #ough I will say it outright i know these pieces should’ve been and COULDVE been better if I’d had more time #I don’t usually work with traditional stuff and these were for an event. anyway!!! it’s okay!!! what that means #is that I have so much more to learn!!! #and also even though they’re not great it was fun to play with mediums. I’m going to do it more often bc that’s how I’ll improve #I’ve always wanted to get good at painting and humans so this is a good jumping off point #anyway tldr what this means is that I might be posting more varied things that aren’t as good in the future #but I’m gonna be brave anyway #sorry for venting a little!!!

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

#It's so funny but as a historian I will genuinely defend 'The Tudors' to the death even with all its problems #Because it did was so few other Tudor shows/movies/media have ever done #And that is: it focused on things BEYOND just Henry and his wives. #Yes Henry was the focal point which makes SENSE but that's just it: #HENRY was the focal point. Most other Tudor media pieces have one of the wives (usually Catherine/Anne) as the focus and doesn't delve muc #Into the history or what was happening in England beyond the King's Great Matter. #The Tudors went ALL out. Yes they didn't get everything right but the fact that they tried and spotlighted so many other #Historical characters and events? The Pilgrimage of Grace? Actually LOOKING at the religious issues even if they weren't always accurate? #(Like with Aske for example. BUT AT LEAST THEY INCLUDED ROBERT ASKE like good lord it's like other Tudor media forgets everything else) #Focusing on Cromwell but also the Seymour brothers? The politics behind Henry? Even Brandon as annoying as his storylines could get. #Even smaller characters like Tallis and Gardiner and other Reformation and Counter-Reformation figures. #The fact that they featured the Reformation and Counter-Reformation AT ALL let alone tried to dive into the complexities of England's #religious crises. The burning of Anne Askew even? People having to navigate England's increasingly unstable religious situations? #The series hit its peak after the CoA/Anne stuff was over imho. Yes Cranmer and Norfolk annoyingly vanished despite being major figures in #the R/CR and they combined Mary and Margaret but god the Tudors did SO MUCH that NO OTHER PIECE OF TUDORS MEDIA has EVER DONE. #It looked BEYOND Henry BEYOND his wives and tried to paint a comprehensive pictur of a deeply troubling and divisive time in English histor #And it did so without demonising one side and it was just so good for so many reasons that I forgive its errors because damn did they TRY. #Tried in a way no one else ever has (no Wulf Hall did not I'm sorry) #(Wulf Hall was just the same old stereotypes rehashed and branded as something 'original' because it was from Cromwell's POV but again. #Same old stereotypes. Nothing actually original about anything else.) #The Tudors is so underrated for what it tried to do and what it achieved and I am reaching the tag limit but UGH god. Amazing. #Not even getting into how wonderful they were with Mary Tudor/Mary I herself and showing figures around her #Because that would be another tag essay considering the subject of my thesis. #Flawed but wonderful. #text #chey.txt

How long do you think it took for the other first years to realize that Megumi is literally Gojo’s boy? I can’t ever imagine them getting an answer out of Megumi (he absolutely can and will summon Mohoraga to make sure he’ll take this truth to the grave) but on the other hand we have Gojo broadcasting to the world his blatant favoritism of Megumi ahahaha

ooooh that's an excellent question. It was definitely well after yuuji died and came back to life, so more than a month at least. By the time Yuuji officially comes back to life, Kugisaki's already started teasing megumi about Gojo's obvious favoritism of him. Yuuji quickly hops on board with it.

I think the other first years initially assume that Gojo's just the kind to play favorites with students or is partial to megumi because he was originally the only first year in Gojo's class or something. Megumi isn't about to tell them that Gojo raised him, so he just brushes it off whenever they start to tease him.

The second years, however, had Megumi as Gojo's son built into their introduction. It's so long been foundational to how they think of him that they just assume everyone knows. They're the ones to rat him out.

(nobara, taking the piss: and there's gojo playing favorites again. it's completely unfair.

Yuuji, immediately on the same bullshit as her: completely

Nobara: what do you have that we don't fushiguro

Panda, overhearing this: ... I mean it's kind of obvious, right?

Megumi, knows the jig is up: *takes off for the door*

Panda: I mean yeah Megumi's Gojo's favorite. He's his son. didn't you know?

Nobara: :o

Yuuji: :o

Nobara: he's his fucking wha--hey, get back here!

Yuuji, Climbing On Top Of Him: Why don't you tell us anything about your life?????)

#sea glass gardens #gojo's insufferable when he finds out megumi didn't tell them gojo raised him #like he knew all along of course #but it's about artistry of shaming your kid #he has to make it an Event #He's all shock and awe and tearful lamentations because his little boy didn't tell his friends about how gojo singlehandedly raised him fro #infancy. he nursed megumi. he /labored/ to give him a good life #megumi thinks he knows damn well that he adopted him at age 5 and that there was absolutely no nursing involved #he's in agony. worst possible way of this coming out. great job team. even more painful than he thought it would be.

the pokemas story with the family battle event is so fascinating to me because it never clicked to me that each person has their own "style" in battling and it can be hard to synchronize with each other as a team.... despite being family

#i know lusamine is a disaster of a mom but i really appreciate the gladion and lillie interactions since i felt that it was lacking in the- #- actual games. i didnt even know gladion was the older brother and i just assumed they were twins #i really liked seeing the other teams and their familial connections #lance and clair are nice to see. funny cousins #wallace and lisia made my heart so warm like i can tell wallace is such a great uncle to lisia #koga and janine... yeahhh love that for them #brendan and norman is nice too (plus norman talking to lusamine and understanding her issues) #gladion is really cool in this entire event tbh #~ rambling #pokemas hours #i think jaide e. and ethan would have the best coordination even if they contrast each other. they complement each other in a good way #however jaide stone and gold is kinda the opposite because jaide is. such a lawful neutral and gold is such a chaotic evil kid #how is that gonna work... /j also the fact that jaide stone sucks at battling so SFJHFSASJKF #stone family battle except jaide keeps apologizing for messing up but ruby and steven keeps reassuring (and theyre p good at battling)

Went to a really cool Japanese culture festival yesterday -- I wasn't sure if it would lean more towards serious culture or weeb territory, but it ended up a pretty even mix of both 😂

It was a really good time hanging out with some super nice new people and trying out a local event! I even got a little Sayori charm as well as earrings that look a lot like Mappi's ;--;

#bones' coworkers invited us and hermit-me was a little nervous to try something new with new people #but the event was huge and really cool! they had a bunch of booths and performers #and the food was good :3 #they went in full cosplay and there were a bunch of other cosplayers around that interacted #i got a pic with miku ;---; #it was my first event like it and only made me reallllly want to go to a con/cosplay even more #it was such a good experience #and!! sayori!!! #as much as that game Wrecked me itll hold a real special place in my heart because i got to know my pals and had a great time #and now i can carry her around with me :3 #the seller laughed when i ordered her that whenever someone requests a monika shes legally obligated to ask 'just monika?' #and my mappi earrings!!!! #i never get dressed up on my birthday (i always wanna just chill) #but im seriously considering wearing my fancy pink dress with earrings that day.... ill be just like her fr.... #rose rambles

with the disclaimer that I don't know all the context since I haven't read it, how WAS he supposed to handle a contagious illness in a society that doesn't have any form of masks or sanitation? Temporarily quarantining contagiously sick cats away from healthy ones just seems like a completely different and much more reasonable thing than kicking out cats permanently for a disability because they would be a "burden".

@halogenwarrior

Ok, going with you having no context for this, he wasn't suggesting a 'temporary quarantine' for sick cats. There is already a quarantine, with only the medics approaching the sick. Following everyone having a Hearty Chuckle that Clear Sky 'cares about other people' now by saying we're "all in it together," Clear Sky shares his full plan;

He nonsensically believes that no sick prey is living in the burnt part of his woods and the fire "cleansed it", so all of the healthy cats will abandon the sick to die in their camps and come live on his territory and 'wait it out.'

His plan is that all the cats who become sick will die. It's not quarantine in the sense that they will 'help the sick but keep a distance', he is essentially suggesting a reverse leper colony where everyone who displays symptoms gets kicked out to fend for themselves.

And, in the past, illness was always part of his talking points for throwing cats out of his clan. It was why he tried to throw Frost out, where he would die alone. I went back to Thunder Rising to grab the passage,

This is after he shoves Thunder's face into it and tells him to lick it.

So, it's wholly inappropriate, imo, that Thunder essentially does a little eye roll and a cutesy sigh at this suggestion. "Ohh that's my dad and his ruthless streak." His dad has historically been a monster towards the sick and infirm when they "stop being useful" with this rhetoric. Burdens, disease, weakness. In this moment, he is proposing that they do to an unknown number of cats exactly what he commanded Thunder do to Frost.

Additionally, at this point in time, they don't know how the illness spreads. They're guessing that it's via contact with sick prey, and using leaves as rudimentary tissues/gloves. Clear Sky DOES know, though, these two things;

One Eye knows how it spreads and is not telling.

Many of his cats have been exposed.

He has no idea which cats have been exposed, or how many, or even how long it takes between infection and first symptoms. All they DO know is that symptoms are rapid onset and debilitating. By the time you know a cat is sick, they're covered in sores, have a bloated stomach, and are unable to hunt for themselves. The only thing that is for sure is that turning them out is a death sentence.

And yet he is confused at the idea that Thunder has an objection about leaving Morning Whisker, Wind Runner's kitten who isn't older than a month or two, alone to die.

The solution that the groups eventually come up with is that the clans will remain isolated from each other as to not spread illness, though it doesn't seem to work because infected prey still moves around freely.

Also note that the first time Clear Sky actually gives a damn about an infected person is when Jagged Peak's pregnant wife catches it (After Jagged Peak 'proves' he's useful now by leading a medicine-seeking patrol thanks to Gray Wing). Wind Runner's an "ex-rogue," a group Clear Sky has disdain for, and he doesn't think to have compassion about her baby.

So to answer your question directly, he was 'supposed' to handle it the way the Moor cats did and were, with some basic safety precautions. Not regress to trying to use the illness to get all the cats into a single Clan in his own territory where he could continue to throw "useless/dangerously ill/disabled" out into the wilderness "where the maggots will find them".

#tw medical gore #It's worse than I mentioned but I was trying to be brief about it #Because if I dove into every little thing that is SHOCKINGLY bad about Clear Sky I wouldn't be able to get through the book #I swear im trying to be charitable about the fact his first suggestion was just... #''Kill your sick friends and children and join a brand new camp in MY territory'' #''I totally won't assert myself as your leader and make you throw out your friends and family For The Greater Good this time'' #''I've been thinking it's a great idea to gather all of the cats in one spot as a contagious illness ravages the forest'' #''Don't worry we won't get sick because we'll leave all the weak people behind'' #You can think about this for more than 30 seconds and see it fall apart #So isn't it very very convenient that his ''i've been Thinking'' idea involves consolidating power under HIMSELF??? AGAIN????? #At *best* he is so stupid he is inventing a superspreader event #At minimum his plan involves killing a LOT of people via abandonment #And at worst it's actually just another ploy to gain power. But I have to rule that out even though it's the most interesting idea #Because it's Clear Sky Redemption Arc Time and the writers are dead set on not letting him be an interesting character

i need fgo to acknowledge servants horses more

#achilles isn't enough i need to know how each servant is around their horse(s) #i think that duryodhana has two main steeds and would have a hard time controlling them for when he's being petulant #highest ranking older mare (12-16) + her offspring (4-8) the older one would have a stubborn and calm temperament who doesn't respect duryo #and her daughter would have the same kind of chill but would be more playful and curious. dur is talking with his brothers & she trots over #starts nuzzling and sniffing his clothes because she's bored. duryo keeps talking but starts petting her #i also think duryodhana has instinctively good balance and he's good at multitasking so showmanship-like riding comes to him easily #but he's shit at all horse maintenance. especially hoof care; he's convinced his girls are going to kick him and doesn't want to even try i #but he wants good care for his horses so he watches over the servants tending to them. bossy yet incompetent duryodhana 🥰 #we know georgios is a good owner but i think he likes rein maintenance & spends a fair amount of time making sure bayards armor is spotless #lalter gives out snacks more easily than her counterpart (going after the wild hunt takes energy! llamrei is a good girl!) #percival is great with horses in general and he enjoys taking care of them and will help out any other knights if they're having trouble #ashvatthaman is (un)surprisingly really good with young stallions. he's not afraid of them at all and will scold them for their mean deeds #horse tries to eat his clothes or nibble his hair and he's like. oi stop that you bastard. and the horse listens (will eat his hair later) #prince of lanling is very thorough with horses getting enough feed and water and will make sure they're well rested #arjuna is like. the main character of a horse movie. he's emotionally sensitive with them & bonds with horses easily (who sense his worries #works really really hard to be good at riding and wants to leave no room for mistakes. really aware of his posture at all times #we had dogy event please give me hors event... horses cute and underrated<-most biased man talking
