Kalina is the most interesting character to me because of all she has going on…

she is Cassandra’s familiar, she is simultaneously a pet and a friend and a servant and a family to a goddexx that is simultaneously her owner and friend and creator and parent and her god and reason to be—Kalina’s relationship to Cassandra is hard to put a name or label on (since what does being a familiar even mean?) but the bottomline is that this cat loves her deity enough to put everything and everyone on the line for her…

And adding in that she is a child of divorce. So to speak. I am extremely normal and haven’t been driven mad by the detail that baby itty bitty kitty Kalina was at Cassandra’s wedding to Ankarna and is remembered to have been toddling after her as she walked down the aisle…

Kalina will be the death of me /lh

#fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year #kalina #oh my god and the fact Kalina was there at that wedding—there at the period of time where Ankarna was alive and still a known god and not #presumed dead… this makes the Sylvairean Heresy even WORSE of a life event for Kalina and Cassandra… #the existence of baby kalina implies that Cassandra *raised* Kalina… and the fact they were married means that Kalina wouldn’t have been #raised by only Cassandra but *also* Ankarna. #you are Kalina and one of your parents just was killed by your uncle—their domains were too alike—and you can never talk about them again. #you can never speak their name—share in their memory—the only place they exist is quietly in your memories that must go unspoken due to #Oblivata Mori. And there’s nothing you can do about it… #And then the followers and clerics of your remaining parent start trying to kill her—being mislead by the followers of your goddexx’ sister #Cassandra is the only family Kalina has left—and Kalina’s sentience leds me to think she agreed to become a Curse #kalina let herself be unmade and changed to keep Cassandra alive… and even as the shell of herself—a familiar once but now a living plague— #is so deeply loyal and only interested in what is to the benefit of her *everything*… even if they are currently a Walking Corpse. #Kalina dislike Kristen so much because Kristen is just not being a good cleric and is in the precarious spot of being Cassandra’s only #follower… but ultimately won’t harm or attack Kristen—killing herself first—because Kristen is the only one keeping Cassandra uncorrupted. #yeah im crazy about the relationship and history between a cat familiar and her witch goddess and the layers of their relationship

naruto as a whole is a fucking mess and i say thisas somebody whos read the entireseries 3 times over. “naruto is going to change the system! haha teehee never mind hes not doing anytning about the child soldiers and slave castes and the genocides.” “sasuke can be upset at his brother for committing a genocide but actually genocide against an oppressed bloodline is good if theyre getting uppity and its sanctioned by the government and also have a genetic predisposition to be evil so he should just get over it and be okay with it” “sakura needs to stop obsessing over a guy whos not even interested and become strong for her own sake. actually shes a housewife now”

kishimoto im going to blow you up with my mind

YOU GET IT

For real though I think what they did with Sasuke's arc was one of the most baffling fucking things I've ever seen. "Actually. Your brother who carried out a genocide loved you :( he only put you in the Torment Nexus for several days because uhhh he wanted you to hate him and not find out about the government who ordered it. Everything he ever did was actually to protect you. And Uchihas are actually kinda rotten anyway so it's good an entire GROUP OF PEOPLE died. Don't think about any babies or children who were also slaughtered btw uhh nope all of them were bad."

Sasuke: "Yes I understand. I will now rule the world through fear. Actually nvm Naruto won our fight so, my philosophy is gone now."

Thank goodness that Evil Sasuke killed the three Bad Government Officials before that point, though. We had this whole theme going about toxic structures, cycles of abuse, and how oppressive regimes can propagate themselves even when a leader is well-meaning... but, like, Naruto REALLY wants to be Hokage, so actually if you just kill these Three Bad Governors it's gonna be fine.

There is no need for systemic change. Slave castes and child soldiers are fine. It's ok as long as the president is blonde :)

#It also bothers me unreasonably. And HAS bothered me since I was like 15. That in the final-- #--scene where sasuke finally lets Naruto Into His Heart he goes off about how they were both just Lonely Children Looking for Love #Like... no!! No actually! Sasuke's WHOLE THING was that EVERYONE was praising him as a prodigy #But that he was pushing away everyone around him because his brother put him in the fucjing torment nexus #It would have been more appropriate to talk about how THEYVE BOTH BEEN MADE INTO WEAPONS #For Naruto to realize (now that he is Useful to his war-obsessed society) that Sasuke was also undergoing a sort of dehumanization #It should be through THEIR GROWTH AS PEOPLE that they finally have a deeper understanding of each other #THEY DID NOT HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN #THATS THE POINT. THEY BECAME FRIENDS IN SPITE OF IT #iM FLIPPING TABLES #They had the opposite problem as each other but through self-imposed ostracization and proving one's 'worth' *NOW* THEY GET IT #But we cant do that bc you'd have to admit that Sasuke hada fucking point and wasnt just wrong the whole time #And that this system is ROTTEN and that Naruto shouldn't become Hokage but DESTROY THE POSITION #because dictators choosing dictators IS BAD. #They should have changed the government to democracy and then Sakura wins the first free election #Because she's actually deeply connected with the people of the fire nation especially outside of the capital city #For like her humanitarian work during the timeskip #And for being the disciple of Tsunade who was a respected leader #And then have a cute moment where Naruto and her banter about it. That she fulfilled HIS dream lmaoo #And also let the three of them be friends im beggign OTL #She gets over her crush on him and theyre just friends #Animeposting #I shouldn't have mentioned sakura now im yelling about naruto on the cat blog

The theory that it's Future!Emmet who's possessing emmet means that Future!Emmet got so off rails that he no longer ACTS like himself : he lost himself completely, not even his own brother recognize him. He can pretend, he can act, but there's always something in his manerisms that just isnt right, something he lost that he can never perfect, that Ingo will always notice

haha this is emotionally devastating :)

#can you believe if this was actually true like your brother is missing for years wrecking you emotionally and mentally as you try to #find him not knowing that it’s impossible to do so and so you just spend your time chasing dead end leads and trying to keep yourself sane #and the finally you actually do find him but he’s dead he’s dead he’s been dead for years #so you decide to fight fate and grab it by the neck and go back in time to prevent this from ever happening and it works! you find him!!! #but you can’t #even enjoy it because you’re not HIS brother just as he is not yours #but you’re still desperate to pretend that he is bc the thought of being alone again is terrifying #emmet has always had ingo so when he actually loses him a part of himself was lost with him #a two car train decoupled #his brothers dissaperance changed him so much at a fundamental level #he’s become so twisted that his ‘joking’ with ingo and him actually causing his brother pain is something amusing to him #like a sibling trying to make the other upset for laughs #it’s funny isn’t it brother! #he can’t see that this is killing ingo hurting him deeply bc he’s so fucking deranged #I love it #possession au #ask #angst

Here’s the thing about Daniel Jackson and the way he presents himself to other people: first, at some point in his life, he figured out that if you use the right tone of voice and blink innocently enough you can say anything and still get people to think of you as harmless. Second, at some point in his tenure at the SGC, he stopped caring whether or not people thought he was harmless.

#i mean we all know he's deeply deeply chaotic under that mild-mannered polish #he doesn't even really HIDE it #but i will also maintain that daniel's changes in demeanor over the years have a lot less to do with changes in HIM and more in his context #he is a) in a place where he has status and security and the confidence to maintain a position openly and not camouflage himself #and b) on the frontlines of a war where ducking his head and pretending to play nice is more trouble than its worth #so he just becomes more and more Openly Annoying because why not? :P #(and it STILL takes people by surprise when he's a menace. fools.) #stargate sg-1 #daniel jackson #in this house we love and support daniel being rude and curt and generally Not Nice when the occasion calls for it #let him be himself

Occasionally we debate on illustrating random bits from our Discord PMs that we find really funny but then we remember that we're, like, the physical embodiment of the "ace that makes sex jokes" stereotype and phrases like "iterator dick discourse" would both be remarkably difficult to illustrate and probably require us drawing something at least somewhat NSFW (we do not particularly care to learn how to draw this)

#we speak #realistically it would just require more specific tinkering w what we choose to include but we still think the dickscourse is funny #it's the image of a bunch of ancient monks gathering around to very seriously debate decisions with the upcoming iterator project #and then the whiteboard is just like. “ITERATORS: dick or no?” #(vital context: we got hung up on the semantics of people giving their iterators actual genitals in smut) #(as the existence of that on the puppet implies that someone had to design and manufacture and ship that shit for the finished iterator) #(and the general aura of the ancients instantly catapults this to fucking hilarious because it implies job titles like “dick director”) #(and work emails about iterator pipe written in the exact same cadence as all of the ancient correspondence we see in-game) #we dont think a lot of people designing iterators really Get the sheer amount of semantics and construction and effort and PEOPLE #that go into a project of the iterator's scale #especially when hundreds of them have been constructed! theres gonna be a whole ass trail of design changes and iterations! #youre gonna have hundreds of years of iterators being designed and technology coming into fashion and out of fashion #and things being integrated and things becoming obsolete and things being more or less practical as time goes on! #you cant really say that All Iterators have a trait because the sheer scale and timeframe theyre built on means thats near impossible #our windows 95 writing computer has different construction and deeply different design to a laptop from 2023 #despite them technically being the same type of technology #you expect tech developed hundreds of years apart to be The Same? absolutely not. theres gonna be eight trillion weird design quirks #accumulated both in the construction process and in the continued design refinement and improvement stage #...which is to say that you can and should write what u want but if youre gonna include pleasure inducing wires then we want like #a 40k word essay on how this got into the design how it wound up in future designs what function the wires perform that makes them Like Tha #and so on and so forth #we admire the confidence and ingenuity of the people who want to fuck the robots but we cannot get into their fantasies with good conscienc #we live in the same house as an engineer who manages largescale construction and we also know too much about designing technology #...we should segment these tags into a separate post or something. we've gone WAY off-topic.

"love should be warm... but to you, it's become a form of punishment"

#SO RAWWWWW #something about him being an orphan... something about him having killed for vengeance at a young age... #i don't know it feels like a more personal line than just speaking out of his beliefs on justice #he definitely knows what it's like to be hurt by people who should have loved you and left alone and uncared for #but more than any lack of sympathy he could feel for that man he genuinely hopes he changes for the little girl's sake and i think that's #a subtle way to show who he is and who he has become?! idk not coherent but i liked the trailer a lot #i'm excited to find out more about him through his quest #one of my favourite genres of genshin characters really is deeply traumatised cryo user and i think that's beautiful 😂 #wrio 🤝 shenhe 🤝 kaeya = everything to me #but like can we talk about wrio being silly and warm and actually easy to talk to and how he doesn't hide the way he feels? #because it's so easy to close yourself after you go through those types of hard experiences but it's genuinely refreshing to see how #bright he is even if he can come across as cold like the little girl said we know that's not his demeanour #the fact he so openly admits he had a bad childhood and isn't able to trust people without any shame?? refreshing #i think he's just so easy to relate to and he feels incredibly dynamic as a character #i love him sm #genshin leaks #< because i talk about the voice lines and that hasn't been released yet

A Star Trek Novel called “Pocket Full of Lies” really has NO business going so hard.

#IMPORTANT NOTE: I only read Star Trek Novels as they pertain to Tuvok #so I have no idea about how the novel reads overall #but the Tuvok storyline????? Damn. DAMN dude. #what if you were suffering from a loss that affected and changed you so deeply that even those closest to you no longer recognized you? #and that change is symbolized and mirrored through this alternate reality version of your best friend who in YOUR universe also no longer #understands you...could never understand you...but THIS version of her is familiar. You can share each other's pain. You understand one #another in a way no one else does. And what if your inner grief/turmoil #was symbolized again in this alternate timeline by a constant war that's been raging f #for thousands of years with no end in sight no matter how hard you fight. The fighting in the end means nothing. The violence means nothing. #The death means nothing bc when you die another will take its place. #'His death was meaningless like this is meaningless' you think initially only to find that NO! It's the holding on to the PAIN that's #meaningless. It's the SUFFERING that's meaningless. #Tuvok being sent to convince ALT Janeway to give herself up to Starfleet but being unable to do so because he sympathizes and empathizes #with her...because (on another level) she isn't ready to give up the war (the suffering grief) and neither is he because to them the war #and the pain has BECOME the people they're grieving (Elieth & Daughter) so to give up feeling pain is to give up feeling love #but that isn't TRUE!!! and we see that in how Tuvok actually rebukes the affections and concerns of those attempting to reach out to him #and offer love...in reality this 'protection' or 'vigilance' is unhealthy and closes them off from healing and love. Bad coping mechanism. #Initially Tuvok pushes away everyone he comes across but through helping Janeway he helps himself and is finally able to take steps towards #acceptance in the purging of his anger on Dayne (Alt Janeway's husband who willfully allowed her daughter to die) #and we can see this in his outlook on how to move forward. In the beginning he's like 'I will never heal from this and I'll just live the #rest of my life never feeling safe or at peace.' <- defining and living his life according to the pain he's suffered #but in the end he has a more hopeful outlook...he sees that there are people around who want to be there for him and that he wants to lean #on...maybe forgiveness doesn't mean literally forgiving those who caused you to suffer but instead finally letting go of that suffering #and living according to joy...friendship..two hands clasped together. love. #novel experiences #Tuvok #Janeway #st voyager #oh ALSO the fact that Janeway always manages to survive being turned from a good thing to a very bittersweet thing for Tuvok bc his own #son was not so lucky...-chefs kiss-

I swear I do understand the themes and symbolism of this book I DO understand that she's not just going crazy about the roach I understand that she's actually going crazy because in her house that she modelled to be a reflection of herself, plain yet ostentatious, palatable, she found a room that was so unlike the rest in its oppressive, dry ugliness (she found that her personality can actually be so repulsive to anyone who isn't one of the peers she wants to be palatable for), and in this ugly room she found a roach (her own selfish humanity), an animal so repulsive to her, and in a moment of panic she killed it. And now she is trying to understand what has become of her, will she be fundamentally changed by this act? But you see. It's fun to blorbopost. My guy who is very homoerotic about this guy he hates is the same as this woman having a crisis over a roach, and here is one billion screenshots to prove it.

#pleading to the ghost of mrs lispector. i DO understand your work maam. i swear. I'm just being silly. #hm i should make an original post tag #g.h.posting #the thing is. he's not just homoerotic guy. he's guy who has something deeply wrong with him and he knows it. #he's guy who has an identity crisis per decade. guy who needs to fundamentally change but refuses to let go of his old self. #you'd think he could've had this change of heart and redeemed himself at any point but no. #he needs to be at a breaking point for this change to become possible. but things never align just right for it to happen. #so he never truly changes. he clings to the shell of his old self instead of outgrowing it and reshaping himself.

To me ideal kidnap situation would Kevin and Neil (in a semi non violent aiming for the ramson scenario). Neil who has actual torture experience and does not shut up vs Kevin who is trying to get a good grade at being kidnapped. The kidnappers will be lucky if the police arrives before Andrew does.

i adore you people i truly do where else am i going to get an ask that starts so earnestly with “to me the ideal kidnap situation is…” SERIOUSLY. i feel like anyone who has motivation to kidnap kevin would probably not have it to kidnap neil just because the way i see it who kevin’s at risk of getting kidnapped by is stalkers or raven cultists (either fans or athletes themselves) who would ultimately not really care much for neil. BUT after neil’s dad kicks the bucket and neil tells the fbi everything he knows i do think neil would be put under an IMMENSE target for being a tattletale, and that would be a genuine concern of the moriyamas because his death would be an investment lost

to me the ideal (and funniest) situation is someone trying to kidnap neil and accidentally taking kevin along without recognizing him. can you imagine? you’re here for some fucked up kid of the butcher who put your entire livelihood as a criminal in danger and you happen to accidentally take a FAMOUS ATHLETE along. you were already wrong thinking no one would notice neil’s disappearance and now you have to deal with kevin day’s face blasted on the news everywhere because he went missing. like it’s seriously ridiculous. i think this kidnapper would probably just kill them and be done with it if i’m honest but since we’re having fun i will say that this person will dream of carcerary life if they ever encounter andrew minyard. kevin and neil get saved by moriyama agents eventually but kevin is never getting out of his house again

#i cant stress this enough being kidnapped has got to be one of kevins biggest fears #because its not just being Taken Away its being Locked Away its being stripped bare of any and all external help its having no one else to #lean on #do you get it. #yes kevin already has been human trafficked once but a second time would really mess him up #i sincerely believe any fics where kevin gets kidnapped need to be followed by 28293 therapy scenes because he’s never living that doen #like he would become so paranoid and so afraid and so genuinely obsessive about never allowing it to happen again #AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE A GOOD TIME HONESTLY #but would i read such a fic? yes. of course #i wanna see neil being like its okay andrew it was normal and no one got hurt Really bad :) #while kevin is like. in the medical sense of shock. making plans in his head to change his entire life #around having this never happening again if he can help it #i want to see kevin agoraphobic and terrified and deeply obsessive. For my funnies #asks #kevin #neil

I've been playing the new cotl update and I generally like it but god do I fucking hate like all of the balance changes just let things be strong man

#rat rambles #like Im ok with the dice relics getting nerfed because they were pretty rediculous before #but making them fragile relics is absolutely terrible and unacceptable #I dont wanna be mean abt it but like time and time again theyve nerfed things way too fucking hard and only some of them get unfucked #like I am not even slightly exaggerating when I say this one change has made all of the dice the worst relics in the game #making them a one time use just completely fucked up the balance of them especially when theres other relics that are also deeply powerful #for getting health And are good damage dealers #it also showcases that they do not understand just how bad most of the fragile relics already are #like genuinely I am baffled by this decision its been making this update so much harder to enjoy #also apparently they massively lowered the level cap which? sucks so fucking bad? #like there's ways to let things be strong without being overpowered #like literally just make it harder to level up followers as they get to the stupid high levels thatd be a much better way to go about it #because lemme tell you its obnoxious to go out of your way to pour that much attention into a follower but rewarding #and for the dice and similarly broken relics just add an extra slow charge speed #you can throw kalamars ear into that pile too along with the bomb one since it's never worth picking up as a fragile relic #like I do genuinely like this new update and what it adds so far its just that the actual yknow gameplay got a smidge bit worse #and since I like the combat in this game any negative changes on it hit much harder than most quality of life stuff #also for the actual new content I do like it but I do hope this is the last big content update at least for a while #I worry abt the game becoming too crowded with mechanics to the point it stops feeling like a coherent game #and to be clear in my personal opinion this update is already bluring the lines of those fronts #again I do genuinely rly like this update it just makes me worry abt the future of this game #I hope if they do make another larger update they focus more on expanding upon already existing mechanics instead of making new ones #like I think sin could rly use more things to do with it #like with how many ways there are to generate it its strange that almost all of the things you do with it are cosmetic #although tbf I havent been dungeoning much today so maybe theres some hidden stuff to use sin for there lol #also one huge thing that Im confused by is the choice to put the sewing building on the first tier of the inspiration tree #cause it uses silk. aka the stuff from the last dungeon most players unlock #I feel like itd be more appropriate to put it as an ofbranch of the housing tree #so basically my review of this update is that its fun and I like the new mechanics but they do feel a bit half baked #and Im not a fan of the balance changes and Im also not a fan of the gun but thats more of a me problem

maybe I should

#i kinda want to meet with him again before im too busy again.... #one more time to feel connected rather than isolated #i tried... i did talk to people and try to connect but... it feels like no one ever hears me #i get responses but no questions back #i hate always having to do all the work in everything.. sometimes i wish someone else would for a change #i dont like having to make all of the effort... #i hate that once i start it becomes expected #and if i stop or ask for change im 'being mean' and it hurts #is it really so much to ask for someone to want too? #it makes me feel like people only put up with me... only placate me #maybe its true.. it has been in the past #i dont think they cared about me.. im not sure she did either anymore #i just... make myself useful and sometimes i wonder if that's the only reason im kept around #because of kind words and gifts and my willingness to play mom and therapist and fill whatever need #what if thats all im good for? #i love giving gifts. i love putting in effort. i love showing how deeply i care. i love talking to people. i do. #but i hate that its always my 'job' my 'responsiblility' #and if i ask for any reciprocity im in the wrong.. im too much work or im just straight up wrong and 'what do you mean i totally do? youre #just needy and crazy' #im so tired.... #i wish it were also seen as what it is rather than it becoming expected.. #its a gift not an obligation.. i want people to appreciate what i do rather than expect it.. #at least hes not like that.. not really #hopefully i can meet with him this weekend

How am I supposed to explain to people who say things like "Taylor Swift is a mediocre songwriter" why they're wrong when lines like "i'm a soldier who's returning half her weight" are in fact a cliche metaphor repackaged as a direct reference to her eating disorder manifesting after being groomed and abused by two older men and the reason why swifties call her the songwriter of a generation is not because she creates unique metaphors- a concept that does not exist in reality- but rather how she uses well known tropes and metaphors to apply them to specific and deeply personal stories about her life in a way that can be universally applied to women, and perhaps other genders, but women specifically.

And also, it's the truth. Eating disorders are war with your brain and she was half her weight at the worst part of her recovery. Like is it a tired metaphor if it's just the damn truth?

#taylor swift #lyric analysis #not like other girlism has rotted your brain unfortunately babes #everything is a tired old metaphor because nothing is original #that's not the point #you're missing the fucking point #the point is taylor is able to use tired old metaphors in fresh and deeply vulnerable ways that make her listeners feel heard and seen #especially white women who are abused by white men #which is all of us #i just wish she would be more honest about why she's so powerful because she could really radicalize a bunch of white women into becoming #socialist anarchists if she was just fucking honest about why she's so powerful and why white women love her specifically #she makes white women feel heard in their abuse experienced by white men #and that's a powerful tool that she could use to change the course of the world if she was a little bit more brave #but i digress #holding white men accountable is taylor's super power and that's why she gets a lot of backlash #she said dating john and jake caused her to develop an extreme eating disorder to the point where she is a soldier returning half her weigh #like is it a metaphor if it's the fucking truth #an eating disorder is a war with your own brain #she did return half her weight she was a 00 but naturally a size 6 according to her own words #that is literally a different of like almost a hundred pounds #00 in america is very small #she is 5 10 by bmi standards she was probably like 100-125 and that's half her weight #she should be like 180-200 pounds because she's a big girl

the thing about vriska is that she has no idea how to feel genuine remorse or contriteness or how to display these sorts of feelings (+a genuine intention to change) to others.

the other thing about vriska is that she's 13 and grew up on hellmurderplanet

#she is like. very quick to be like. #wow ok i am just the biggest villain in the world and eeeeeveryone hates me forever and it cant be fixed!!! #but like. girl you killed someone. and you think its funny. #but also like. x2 everyone else also does that to like. feed their lusus and other bonkers shit. #so no wonder her brain didnt know how to form in the ole thinkpan #like she is very. catastrophizes because if she is The Worst she doesnt have to confront the prospect of change #(she is like eridan in this way but eridan is more annoying about it) #she is also genuinely distressed about how everyone hates her! but she doesnt know how to fix it #and she was kind of manipulated into doing the stuff that made everyone hate her #and she is altogether just. backed into a corner. so much so that she backs herself into the corner even more #cuz she doesnt really know anywhere else to be #and as soon as someone acts like she isnt in the corner(kanaya; aradia) or just has fresh eyes on her cuz they never met(john) #she doesnt know how to handle it. she either does an acrobatic pirouette off the handle. or like. becomes deeply flushed
