What if Bennett is the Pyro Dragon Sovereign successor? Like I believe he was found and saved by an adventurer when he was surrounded by flames. But what if those flames came from him? Or something... It's just so curious why he has so much unluckiness. 🤔🤔🤔

Aight theory time for genshin!!! Spoilers for Chenyu Vale lore and world quests.

So I finished the main world quest inChenyu Vale yesterday and explored parts of it today. Here are my theories centered around the Herblord and Changsheng.

First off disclaimers and take this with a grain of salt.

Now in the world quest Fujin (Carp Adepti) asked for your help in regards to the soil and water in Chenyu Vale. During the quest you will learn about her, Lingyuan the Suanni beast, and Herblord a white snake. During the quest Herblord is not referred to any other names so we do not know who she is. Or do we?

In Baizhu's story quest cutscene there was a doctor who once went to Chenyu Vake in search of the Herblord and found only a white snake who gave him a contract. That snake turned out to be Changsheng. Herblord is someone who is famed when it came to medicine and so is Changsheng, it was also said during Baizhu SQ that Changsheng was once very powerful and yet her memories were not as good as it once was. So the theory here is that Changsheng = Herblord.

There are many points that also supports this theory.

During exploration I came across notes that is written by Herblord and her personality is quite like Changsheng's

In the world quest you will come across a mural of Fujin and Herblord with Herblord having a similar appearance to Changsheng

Xiao seems to know who Changsheng is and wants to say something to her during Baizhu SQ. This aligns with the fact that during the Archon war Fujin and Changsheng are serving another God who is an enemy of Rex Lapis.

But I do have another theory. It is that Changsheng is not Herblord but rather, someone who is FROM her. The basis of that theory is this convo with Lingyuan.

I believe that IF Changsheng is not Herblord then she is the one referenced by Lingyuan here.

And that's it. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk and hope my mental health good luck because I am losing my mind in Chenyu Vale.

Just saw the PJO ep 7 and I love the bit with Sally and of course the one with Poseidon. It's a great ep. BUT here's the thing and don't attack me for thinking this but here are some things I didn't like.

1. Underworld feels so empty... I don't know why but they could've done more to the visuals.

2. Charon. Charon in his suit complaining about his pay. That's one of the things that I was waiting for and to see it gone is just 😮‍💨

3. Hades.

Now yeah I know people love the way they characterise him here but I don't. I just... I guess I just fell in love with his character in the books and to see it scrapped like that almost made me want to cry. The way that he was so imposing in the books, the way he made Percy think that yes this is a God with capital G. The way Hades from the books reiterated that he doesn't WANT another war because Underworld is already overpopulated. Plus I think Hades' personality is one of the major issues between him and Nico. I'm really sorry for those that like this version of him but I just prefer book Hades.

#percy jackon and the olympians #hades pjo #sigh #I already have a lot of things I don't like in the series #but I know most of it is because of time #but hades personality change... #yeah it's great #but compared to book hades? #nope

Ok so Will knows this trick of how to delay his voice. He learnt it from Micheal, and practiced till he got it right.

Everyone thinks it’s super cool and he’s pretty proud of it

So one day, he did this to mess with Nico. And Nico was shooketh™️.

Like:

Did my boyfriend just lag?

Will taught him that later on.

I may be a big Baizhu fan but it is exactly because of me being a big fan that I think Hoyo definitely should have waited until this year's lantern rite to release him. He did not deserve the treatment he got on his release.

No relevance to the current patch other than his story quest.

Running with a very popular character.

Release was just after HSR debuted.

Sumeru focused patch and the other patches before that.

If he released today he would've fit in so nicely😭 he's from Chenyu Vale, Changsheng lore in Chenyu Vale, Liyue lantern rite etc.

My boy deserve more after all the things he went through before. The allegations, the drama, the comparisons, let my boy rest ffs.

There's this one time a classmate of mine suddenly asked me what topic I chose for an assignment and what's my progress since we need to pass it on that day.

Cue me panicking because 'wtf that was today!?' but instead of admitting that I'm a procrastinating bitch I said 'oh yeah that I'm like halfway through' and she said 'really?' then proceeded to ask more details which I just bullshitted.

It was a fucking miracle how I wasn't found out. God the things I do just to make it seem I'm not a complete failure.

the fact that Israel can precisely target ONE apartment in an entire residential block in BEIRUT to kill two hamas leaders, proves once again that they CHOSE to carpet-bomb Gaza and murder 31.000 Palestinians to "defend themselves" against Hamas. Israel CHOSE to kill civilians, they CHOSE to bomb every hospital, every school, every refugee camp, every residential block. israel does NOTHING to spare the lives of palestinians, they want to thin out the population of gaza so they'd be able to settle their citizens there.

this is a genocide it's an ethnical cleansing PLEASE WAKE UP don't stop talking about Palestine it is not a trend, people are still dying, Israel has no plan to stop if WE don't force it to, through public pressure and protesting and boycotting. it's the least we can do.

You know what's kinda funny and really interesting? All of the Archons so far as well as the Archon quests all have the theme of freedom.

Mondstadt - Freeing Dvalin from the Abyss clutches as well as freeing him from his duties.

Liyue - Zhongli being freed from thousand years of duty as well as the people of Liyue having the freedom and autonomy as a nation without an archon.

Inazuma - The people of Inazuma being freed from the Raiden Shogun's oppresive pursuit of eternity as well as Ei's freedom from her grief.

Sumeru - Freeing Nahida from the sages as well as freeing Wanderer from the shackles of his past that is holding him back.

Fontaine - Furina finally being free of the mask she has to don for five hundred years as well as the people of Fontaine being freed from their sins.

It's quite interesting 🤔 and who is the God of Freedom? Hm? 🤔 That's fucking right its Venti. You know the archon who's not under NDA that we can definitely ask for Celestia crumbs, the archon who who helped Vanessa who later ascendes to Celestia, the archon who up till now still has no second story quest, the archon who houses some of the most lore important characters like Kaeya, Albedo and Alice, the archon who presides over Mondstadt where a statue is placed saying gateway to Celestia, the archon whose statue is turned fucking upside down, the archon who seems to know more than he lets on, the archon who said he knows the ballads of the past, present and future.

Yeah that Venti. Heh this is why he's my favourite.

#venti #genshin impact #i love him #Venti reveal thy secrets!!!!

Oh yeah I cried during throughout the whole genshin 4.2 archon quest.

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

The absolute silence today is gut wrenching. Leaflets were dropped on the west bank telling palistinians to go to Jordan. Last time they told them to go south and they got bombed. Everything about Palestine has suddenly dropped off trending and we know that staff has been suppressing the tags #free palestine and #palestine. Now its has to be every single tag that was trending, because i just simply do not believe we stopped talking about it over night. I feel so hopeless about this shit but the only thing we can do rn is to not stop talking. We have to stop trying to bury our heads in the sand and keep posting as if it was normal because its not normal. Palestinians don't get a break from the horror, the least we can do for them is to make sure their suffering isn't silent.

A journalist stationed at a Gaza hospital who has been able to make a call via his Turkish sim:

"We’re in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have no idea what’s happening. There’s no connection, no Wi-Fi, no reporters. We’re cut off from everything.. People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner. The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on. You can’t reach anyone, even if they’re only 500 meters away. Ambulances and medics are begging reporters to let them know which streets are getting bombarded to go rescue the victims but the reporters themselves don’t know where anything is happening [because of the connection loss]. We are trying to report the news but we have no idea what’s happening.”

i know the nyt regularly edits and rewrites headlines post-publication but it's kind of wild that the basically one (1) good op-ed i've seen them publish in ages that was getting really widely shared was renamed from "Why Must Palestinians Audition For Your Empathy?" to much more vague and defanged "The Palestine Double Standard." like. come on.

anyways.

(link to the archived page with the original headline)

The task of the Palestinian is to be palatable or to be condemned. The task of the Palestinian, we’ve seen in the past two weeks, is to audition for empathy and compassion. To prove that we deserve it. To earn it.

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve watched Palestinian activists, lawyers, professors get baited and interrupted on air, if not silenced altogether. They are being made to sing for the supper of airtime and fair coverage. They are begging reporters to do the most basic tasks of their job. At the same time, Palestinians fleeing from bombs have been misidentified. Even when under attack, they must be costumed as another people to elicit humanity. Even in death, they cannot rest — Palestinians are being buried in mass graves or in old graves dug up to make room, and still there is not enough space.

If that weren’t enough, Palestinian slaughter is too often presented ahistorically, untethered to reality: It is not attributed to real steel and missiles, to occupation, to policy. To earn compassion for their dead, Palestinians must first prove their innocence. The real problem with condemnation is the quiet, sly tenor of the questions that accompany it: Palestinians are presumed violent — and deserving of violence — until proved otherwise. Their deaths are presumed defensible until proved otherwise. What is the word of a Palestinian against a machinery that investigates itself, that absolves itself of accused crimes? What is it against a government whose representatives have referred to Palestinians as “human animals” and “wild beasts”? When a well-suited man can say brazenly and unflinchingly that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people?

It is, of course, a remarkably effective strategy. A slaughter isn’t a slaughter if those being slaughtered are at fault, if they’ve been quietly and effectively dehumanized — in the media, through policy — for years. If nobody is a civilian, nobody can be a victim.

…

Take it from a writer: There is nothing like the tedium of trying to come up with analogies. There is something humiliating in trying to earn solidarity. I keep seeing infographics desperately trying to appeal to American audiences. Imagine most of the population of Manhattan being told to evacuate in 24 hours. Imagine the president of [ ] going on NBC and saying all [ ] people are [ ].Look! Here’s a strip on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea. That’s Gaza. It is about the same size as Philadelphia. Or multiply the entire population of Las Vegas by three.

This is demoralizing work, to have to speak constantly in the vernacular of tragedies and atrocities, to say: Look, look. Remember?That other suffering that was eventually deemed unacceptable? Let me hold it up to this one. Let me show you proportion. Let me earn your outrage. Absent that, let me earn your memory. Please.

…

Here’s another thing I know as a writer and psychologist: It matters where you start a narrative. In addiction work, you call this playing the tape. Diasporically or not, being Palestinian is the quintessential disrupter: It messes with a curated, modified tape. We exist, and our existence presents an existential affront. As long as we exist, we challenge several falsehoods, not the least of which is that, for some, we never existed at all. That decades ago, a country was born in the delicious, glittering expanse of nothingness — a birthright, something due. Our very existence challenges a formidable, militarized narrative.

But the days of the Palestine exception are numbered. Palestine is increasingly becoming the litmus test for true liberatory practice.

In the meantime, Palestinians continue to be cast paradoxically — both terror and invisible, both people who never existed and people who cannot return.

Imagine being such a pest, such an obstacle. Or: Imagine being so powerful.

and let the history books name joe biden, rishi sunak, justin trudeau, emmanuel macron, ursula von der leyen and every other world leader who did not step in to prevent the genocide of palestine as cold-blooded murderers. may they face a shred of the immeasurable pain and suffering they allowed to be committed against 2.2. million innocent lives.
