#you'd be right

[magnoliasandarson]

what if Bruce made it?

What if Bruce got there, made it to that warehouse in Ethiopia a minute faster. What if he carried Jason's bloodied and broken body out of there, holding his fingers to his pulse point, frantically begging coms for backup. What if his fingers kept slipping off of Jason's wrist because of all the blood. What if Bruce made it to the Batplane, what if they both made it half way back to Gotham-

and Jason's heart still stopped beating.

"Nearby, a collection of the island’s residents, both mundane and supernatural, gathered at the teahouse for lunch under the guise of discussing the floral arrangements for the upcoming May Ball. But the true purpose of their early luncheon was to catch a glimpse of the new Guard Captain, rumored to have pointy ears, sharp fangs, and a fearsome set of claws that could tear a man apart.

For a populace well acquainted with vampires, this was less a point of concern, and secondary to the reports that he was tall, ruggedly handsome—and as far as the frantically churning rumor-mills of the island could yet determine, romantically unattached."

I think I would actually kill for a Zelda game from Ganon’s perspective that’s all about holding hyrule accountable and fighting against colonialism n all that but Nintendo is excessively cringe

I'm literally holding zero hopes for that, or even any kind of exploration of Hyrule as less than an idealistic perfect place, but I completely agree that it would be dope to get at least some degree of reframing.

I actually held my hopes up for TotK to... sort of account for that? Like I assumed the name "Tears of the Kingdom" meant that accountability was obviously going to be a major part of the story and the world. Honestly everything pointed towards that: humanizing the shapeless threat from BotW and giving it a human shape with history and motivations (or just with big pecs yes I suppose that's good enough sure whatever), the fact that the characters are trying to figure out how to rebuild their broken kindgom, if at all, the archeology motif as a way to question the past...

I genuinely do not understand why they called the game Tears of the Kingdom. The tears, all Zelda's (because she is the kingdom, apparently???), are a skippable questline you don't actually have to complete, showing you a story that barely even qualifies as a tragedy let alone an exploration of the kingdom's origins and/or mistakes. Thematically it's completely meaningless as a title, and it's such a potent reflection on the fact that this game is fundamentally disjointed and uses cheap melodrama to pretend it has point while actually having... basically nothing to say

#asks #totk critical #totk #ganondorf #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war... #thanks for the ask!! #if you think I'm getting meaner towards totk as time goes on #you'd be right #tears of the kingdom stands for... hey sometimes royalty get sad because people are mean to them for no reason :( #ever thought about that :(

Writing Family Web Daily: Day 13

Content Warning for vague description of surgery and injury (idk if it's necessary but i'm adding it b/c yeah, it's there.)

-

Donnie paused his efforts as Leo quickly stepped over April to stand next to the bed.

“There. I’m here. Now lay back down before you hurt yourself,” Leo pointed at the bed with a frown.

Donnie watched him for a long moment before snatching the pointing hand in his and laying back down, making sure his brother couldn’t leave. His sides stung now, telling him he really shouldn’t have pulled that stunt, but it had gotten Leo to stop sulking so he really didn’t care at the moment.

“Seriously?” Leo asked with a sigh, looking down at his captured hand.

“Can’t leave now,” Donnie said smugly.

“Just go back to sleep. You need rest,” Leo said, going to sit on the spare mattress like he normally would. But this wasn’t normal. And Donnie didn’t want him to start sulking again just in a different spot. He was exhausted too and Donnie knew he wouldn’t so much as lay down right now unless he made him.

Donnie pulled at his arm, ignoring his half formed protests until Leo was finally laying next to him. He made a face as he settled on his side, seemingly trying to take up as little room as possible so he couldn’t accidentally hurt Donnie.

“What happened with the surgery?” Donnie asked once they were settled. Donnie needed the facts before he could even attempt to fix Leo’s stupidity.

“Nothing. It went fine,” Leo said after a pause.

“Considering I was unconscious for it, I don't know what that means,” Donnie shot back.

“I fixed it. There were no further complications.”

“Then do me the favor of walking me through the process.”

Leo groaned, glaring at the pillow as he tugged at one of the loose strings.

“We sedated you with your tranquilizer,” he began quietly. “Once you were unconscious, I marked where the cuts would need to be made and…did…it. With your impossibly sharp scalpels. I don’t even know where you got those things. WHat are they even made of? Because that’s not normal to steal.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Donnie brushed aside. Leo chuckled lightly at it. “What else?”

“Not much. Removing the affected bits relieved the pressure on your new arms effectively reliving much of the pain it was causing,” Leo explained. He paused for a moment before continuing tentatively. “They, uh, don’t have skin at the moment. The bleeding stopped pretty quick but we’ll still have to be careful until it has a chance to grow in. Change the bandages whenever they get slightly dirty or wet, make sure they don’t stick to the limbs…”

Leo must have caught sight of the disgusted look on Donnie’s face because he stopped.

“You asked,” Leo said with a shrug.

“No, skin?” Donnie asked. Leo nodded. “That is both disgusting yet scientifically intriguing.” 

“Yeah, we can figure out why all that is later,” Leo said dismissively.

“How big are they?”

“Hard to say? They were still kinda condensed from the pressure they were under when I wrapped them,” Leo stated. “But, maybe an inch or two? They aren’t much bigger than a finger at the moment.”

“Fascinating,” Donnie said, eyeing the gauze wrapped around his torso for the first time. There was, in fact, for little bits wrapped so thoroughly in gauze that Donnie had no way of telling where the limbs actually began. Each had been immobilized by several bits of medical tape as if they were going to just up and leave if they hadn’t been taped down.

Donnie wondered briefly if he’d be able to move them already if not for Leo’s bandages. Further testing would be required.

“We thought taping them down would be safer over all,” Leo explained, “Just so you don’t accidentally catch them with your elbow or something. They’re probably going to be pretty fragile until they finish growing in, so you’re going to have to be careful.”

“But of course. I am the definition of careful,” Donnie stated. Leo snorted.

“Yeah, and I'm the definition of subtle.”

Donnie elbowed him in the arm, getting another chuckle in response.

“Regardless,” Donnie continued, shooting Leo a glare, “There is much I'll have to study and record. Growth rate, range of mobility, the rate in which i become accustomed to moving them-”

“All things you can work on later,” Leo interrupted, “after you’ve slept and not immediately upon waking up from surgery. Theoretically, you should wait until you’ve healed from said surgery but I doubt you will so I'm just not going to bother.”

Leo was making that face again, the guilty face that told Donnie he was thinking dumdum things again.

Right, that’s why Donnie wanted him over here. Curse science for being such a lovely distraction!

“Thank you,” Donnie said, trying his best to make it sound like he meant it. Because he did and he needed Leo to know that. So he stopped being dumb.

Leo started briefly, blinking wide eyed at Donnie.

“I am aware that doing this was…uncomfortable and upsetting for you,” Donnie continued slowly, picking his words carefully. He didn’t want there to be any miscommunications between then right now. Not about this. “I shouldn’t have asked you to do that. If i had been thinking more clearly I wouldn’t have.”

“I was fine-” leo tried to argue. But Donnie didn’t give him much of a chance to do so.

“No, you weren’t. I don’t need to be Dr. Feelings to know that,” Donnie said. “You hate percieving yourself as the cause of your pain, even if that is to help us. You can’t deny it. I still remember when we were six and you put antiseptic on a cut for the first time. You cried more than Mikey did, and Mikey was the one with the scrape.”

“I…” Leo hesitated, taking a breath before continuing. “I managed.”

“You shouldn’t have had to,” Donnie pointed out.

“We didn’t have much of a choice,” Leo whispered. “You were in so much pain…we didn’t have the time.”

“I know,” Donnie stated. “You shouldn’t have had to do it. But I’m…I’m glad you did. So, once again, thank you.”

“Stop thanking me for hurting you,” Leo muttered, eyes locked on his pillow again.

“I’m not thanking you for hurting me,” Donnie said with a sigh. “I’m thanking you for helping me. I’d still be in an immense amount of pain if you hadn’t. Instead i am not. So stop being dumb and accept my verbal gratitude. You may never hear it again.”

When Leo didn’t answer, Donnie spoke again. Time to bring out the big guns, apparently.

“Stop or i’m going to tell Mikey you’re blaming yourself for being a good medic again, and you’ll have to have a session with Dr. Feelings. And probably a referral to Dr. Delicate Touch.”

“April’s right, you’re definitely the evil twin,” Leo stated, glaring at Don, though the expression itself held no heat.

“If i’m evil now, imagine what will happen once i finally get my hands on uranium,” Donnie stated with a smirk. Leo smiled, his expression tired.

“Yeah, remind me never to let you put uranium on the birthday present list,” Leo stated.

“You never let me shine,” Donnie said dramatically, getting a playful shove for his efforts. Good. He was glad Leo was going to stop treating Donnie like a glass statue he could break apart by sneezing.

“Go to sleep, Dee.”

“Only if you do,” Donnie countered. “You need rest as much as i do at this moment.”

“Fine, but only because this is the first time i’ve gotten the chance to sleep on my own bed in like five days,” Leo said, shifting enough so he was laying more on his plastron than his side. “Even if i do have to share it with your sprawling but.”

“Excuse you. I am not the one that had to have guard rails on their bed until they were nine because they kept rolling out of bed during the night,” Donnie answered back.

“You did too.”

“I was on the top bunk, Leo. Father wouldn’t let me sleep on the top bunk unless there were railings,” Donnie stated. “You were on the bottom bunk and, thus, have no excuse.”

“My point still stands.”

“Look, I'm glad you’re both better,” April’s voice sounded from the spare mattress below them. “But i sware on pizza supreme that if you two don’t stop bickering, I will use the tranquilizer gun on the both of you.”

“Sorry April!” The twins chorused. April grumbled in the silence that followed.

It was quiet for a few minutes, Donnie starting to doze off when Leo spoke again.

“Thanks, Dee Dee,” Leo whispered. Donnie smiled, not bothering to open his eyes back up.

“Don’t worry bout it, Lilo,” Donnie mumbled back.

A Walk in Chiaroscuro unnecessary update:

I found the problem!! I’ve been trying to find out where did my latest writers block come from and I finally found it! I’m so happy! I want to write again. Had to re-write the outline for the next 3 chapters but it flows better and there’s less unnecessary conflict obstructing the narrative (and there’s sad boy in the rain).

also: Happy birthday to me! also also: there will be a chapter next week!! Huzzah!

#if you think I'm re-writing the outline every chapter #you'd be right #not really but I do make it detailed enough #that change need to occur before writing the chapter proper #awic unnecessary update

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

Israel doesn't want to repopulate Gaza, you loveable dummy

Seriously, find one Israeli on this site who'll say otherwise. And no, quoting Ben Gvir doesn't count (assuming you even know who that is) anymore than quoting, say, Rudy Giuliani would count for anything, even though he supposedly spoke for the president of the USA for a time.

Hamas has 136 hostages. Including women, and actual literal babies, assuming they're still alive, that is. This could all have ended weeks ago if they'd fucking returned them. Israeli society would physically march on Benjamin Netanyahu's home and remove him in a coup if the hostages were returned tonight. But as long as they have Israeli people, and are unwilling to negotiate their return, that's an ongoing war crime. Is Israel evil for being a bull in a China shop trying to get back a "mere" 136 innocent civilians? Maybe. But Hamas started this and they can end it, they just don't want to. Please, justify that.

Hello, since you asked for one Israeli, here, I'll give you multiple statements:

Hundreds of activists at an Ashdod gathering in late November called for the reestablishing of Jewish settlements. “Let it be known that you support the appeal to renew Jewish settlement throughout all of the Gaza Strip. The nation is waiting for you”— Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council.

Israel “should fully occupy the Gaza Strip”— Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party.

An Israeli real estate firm pushes to build settlements for Israelis in Gaza. “Wake up, a beach house is not a dream” reads the ad.

Israeli Knesset member Limor Son Har Melech posted a video of herself in a boat with other settlers off the coast of Gaza. “Settlement in every part of the Gaza Strip … A large, extensive settlement without fear, without hesitation, without humiliation. This land is the land that the creator of the world gave to us.”

Israeli Settler, Daniella Weiss says Palestinians who live in Gaza, have no right to stay in Gaza.

An Israeli soldier saying that Israelis should start “investing” in Khan Younis.

Also why would the words of Ben Gvir not count? He is an elected minister, his words hold weight and they expose Israel’s clear intent to make Gaza inhabitable for Palestinians so that Israelis could settle in there— by destroying the infrastructures, making the health system collapse entirely, bombing entire residential neighborhood, Israel is trying to ensure that Palestinians wouldn't be able to return back to their land, because there is nothing livable left there.

And I'm glad you bring up all of this ending if the hostages were returned— Hamas tried to strike up a deal for the return of ALL the hostages, in exchange of the release of all Palestinian prisoners. Israel refused. You know why? Because this has never been about hostages and their safety for Israel.

There is a reason why Israel shot its own hostages when it mistook them for Palestinian civilians, waving a white cloth. There is a reason why the IDF called to shoot indiscriminately on Oct. 7, knowing that it could kill some of the hostages too. Because Israel wants to kill Palestinians, to "thin out its population" (or maybe we shouldn't take into account the says and actions of Netanyahu too ://). This is why it targets schools and mosques and hospitals and ambulances and refugee camps. Israel knows that if it does get all its hostages back, then there would be nothing to “justify” its genocide in Gaza (although, as UN Secretary-General said : "Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is beyond words")

Israel is the only reason why the hostages aren't fred yet. THEY are unwilling to negotiate the return because they don't want to stop this genocide. What good is a five days ceasefire only for the bombings to return? Do you even realize how psychologically traumatizing it is to have a countdown of when your massacre would resume? The only acceptable deal is for Israel to establish a permanent ceasefire, something that it refuses to do. The only one to blame is Israel.

And you say Israelis would instigate a coup to oust Netanyahu, that's nice, then what? Will you return the land to its rightful people? Will you give back Palestinians their rights unequivocally? Will you call for the dismantlement of Israel that was built on massacres? The reason why Israelis are angry at Netanyahu is rooted in the unresolved hostage situation. Just because you don't support Netanyahu doesn't mean that you aren't a zionist who finds the murder of more than twenty thousands Palestinians justifiable. A young girl had her leg amputated with no anesthesia on the kitchen counter of her home and you talk about “Israel being a bull in a China shop”? You consider the targeted attacks on civilians as careless actions by Israel? It actually astonishes me how inhumane some of you can be.

And here is what Dr. Refaat, who was targeted and murdered by the IDF btw, had to say about this matter:

Whether it's Netanyahu or someone else, it does not matter because Israel as a whole is an occupation, one built on the bloodshed of palestinians.

And it is funny how you choose to distort history whichever way you like it, to regard October 7th as an isolated instance that happened out of the blue. Hamas didn't start anything, Hamas was created in response to the indiscriminate and careless shooting of palestinian civilians in the first Intifada, that was decades ago. October 7th was a resistance to an ongoing colonization, Israel started this when it displaced and murdered palestinians on 1948. None of this would've happened if Israel did not colonize Palestine. It has been 100 days of this ongoing genocide, wake up and stop deluding yourself into a reality where Israel is the victim.

#dismissing Ben Gvir's statements #(yes i know who it is thank you for your concern) #then diluting this genocide into a mere matter of “hamas should return the hostages” #it must feel nice to change up the narrative so you'd be able to sleep nicely at night #and not take into account the statements that disturb you #but thanks for thinking im loveable! you are right on that point #maybe there is still hope left for you then #free palestine #palestine #gaza #free gaza
