#Informal Inquiries (Asks)

[yloiseconeillants]

How do they compare to each other's exes? Are they the same "type" or an upgrade/something different? (For Ariadne!)

everyone is doing great in the age of paradise and there's certainly nothing fucky going on here

#there is several novellas worth of information i could use to answer this question but i hope this is enough #thank you for the ask and i am directing all further inquiries to my inbox #azem tag #ariadne #erasmos #icarus #panthea #timoria #minthe #kytheon #daedalus

Happy Headcanons

You ever see a response to a post that is so inflamed and self contradictory that it’s like

#ra speaks #personal #started posting on my Blood Pressure blog to get the adrenaline going this week and by god it worked #but also this response was so. reactionary and confusing it’s like. i know it’s all in bad faith #and any attempt on my part to appeal to logic and pick apart their response with calm and respectful inquiry and information #will likely only be met with further raving and ranting #but also like. maybe it wouldn’t? probably would. but it might not! #like I don’t think any literate person would read my post and then their response and wholeheartedly agree with that response #because of how unhinged and transparently bad faith it was. so I don’t feel the need to further clarify myself. #but who knows! maybe they’ll obsess over a response I never give them for the next week while I forget this ever happened #the worst part is like the last paragraph was coherent and like. yes the nature of these supernatural beings is fixed and part of #a greater purpose. that’s why there’s no mythology surrounding flexibility in these fixed purposes? like yes that’s correct #why is everything you say before this point incoherent raging? #so I am tempted to try and appeal to that logic. but maybe I won’t. who knows. #not gonna block them unless they show up to be annoying it’s nice to know tumblr still have unhinged reactionaries who exist only to rant #context: #i made a blog just to say things that will make some people mad #because this is my happy blog not my stress blog do not ask about the Blood Pressure blog it exists to give me adrenaline boosts #when I get to comfortable and happy with my life bc sometimes you gotta self Sabatoge to live a little <3

This is a developing news story and may be updated as more information is obtained. If you value such information, please support this Substack.

On Dec. 1, a woman immolated herself with a Palestinian flag outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.

Now, according to the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, the woman — referred to in their report as “Jane Doe” — is alive and “in stable condition” at Grady Memorial Hospital, where she has been since the immolation.

After repeated requests for her name, the department stated to this reporter in an email that it “does not disclose the identities of victims”. Repeated inquiries to Grady, which is a public hospital, went unanswered. The hospital houses the Walter L. Ingram Burn Center.

“Jane Doe” is 27.

When asked if they had made any comment to tell the public that she was still alive this entire time, the official at Atlanta Fire Rescue Department said they “shared the last updated with local media via email on 12/21/23. The release stated: ‘The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition. The security guard, who attempted to assist the burn victim, has been released from the hospital.’” Several internet searches on that quote produce no results. This would also indicate that "Jane Doe" went from critical to stable condition without public notice. 

Aaron Bushnell immolated himself at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, explaining “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and shouting “Free Palestine!” repeatedly as he burned alive. So, his case — unlike many other self-immolations including Gregory Levey, Raymond Moules, Timothy T. Brown, Malachi Ritscher and others — has received some attention. Thus, “Jane Doe” being ignored fits with the usual pattern. Bushnell is the exception — probably because he livestreamed it. See “Ignoring Immolators Lulls the Society to Sleep.”

As Bushnell was burning himself alive, an officer pointed a gun at him, barking orders as if he constituted a threat. A security guard, Michael Harris, sustained injuries working to rescue “Jane Doe” — but there were similarities, where she was actually viewed as a potential threat.

At one point, the police report for “Jane Doe” refers to it as being a case of “arson”.

Much of the media coverage and general discussion of her self-immolation in December focused on if she had done damage. The Atlanta Police Chief said: “We believe this building remains safe, and we do not see any threat here.” The Israeli government released a statement: “It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way.”

Police records indicate that they obtained a search warrant and entered an apartment they believed to be associated with “Jane Doe” — initially using a drone:

The drone was able to relay information as to the layout and the belongings inside. After it was deemed "safe" entry was made with bomb technicians. While clearing the apartment no improvised explosive devices were located.

The police report also noted:

During the search a Quran was found in the bedroom along with a [sic] Arabic dictionary and a Hebrew dictionary. The bedroom bookshelf contained books related to fiction and fantasy. A "Drug use for grown ups" book was on the bookshelf as well. Two journals were seized from the bedroom. A thumbdrive was seized from the bedroom as well. A laptop computer was seized from the kitchen counter. A copy of the search warrant was left in the living room of the apartment. The front door [of] the apartment was secured before law enforcement left the premises.

When pressed for more information in compliance with an Open Records Request under Georgia law, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department claimed: “There is an ongoing and active investigation for the incident in question, which is why the only releasable information has been shared via the incident report. Investigative documentation is not available for release until the investigation is closed.”

Hi this is the same person who asked how reserves work, I have another question :) I looked around and I didn't see this mentioned anywhere but I want to know how the timeline works here since the games take place over a lot of time and 5 is several decades after 4 ?

hi again!!! feel free to ask as many questions as you want!! i like answering them.

that is a good one too, i'm surprised i forgot to actually mention it anywhere. So basically, here's how the timeline works:

It doesn't.

(Okay, it DOES, but that's the best way I can think of for how to put this). Effectively, we're... handwaving it? But not handwaving it, exactly -- the timeline still very much exists, and each game exists at its own time across the many decades RF spans, but it's something that doesn't really matter unless you want it to. Think of it like how there's an official drama CD track of all the protagonists across the series interacting: they can, so they do! Everyone can interact across the forum or, if they get the chance, in person, so they do! Why not!

Of course, people can actually go into timeline stuff if they want to write it out and explore and how the people they're interacting with are different from how they know them (ex. RF2-era Cecilia interacting with any RF1 characters, or Doug and / or Margaret from RF4 interacting with RF5 ones, or anything involving the DSCs considering. the DSCs. and also how Porcoline, Bianca, & Electra are around the same age group when you put the timeline together, etc.!)

But for the sake of what's ultimately a casual group: it doesn't matter unless you want it to. ty for the question! <3

I am not the asshole, and I think this whole thing is stupid, but I was promised that if I sent my side of things to this blog I could pick the hotel for our honeymoon, and I am marrying a man who once tried to take me BACKPACKING of all things, so this ask has become a necessity. In light of that:

AITA (I'm NOT) for planning the seating for our wedding in a logical way?

I got engaged in June, apparently in part because of my partner writing in to this blog (I don't know how to find or link to his posts, but I'm the man who got the cat to bite him, if that rings any bells?). At any rate, for the past ten weeks, I've been in the beginning stages of planning our wedding with my fiance, whom I have been secretly attempting to remove from the planning process as much as possible. I have ALREADY been given a list of his must-haves, and I AM incorporating as many of them as our budget allows. This has NOTHING to do with the emotional side of the event, and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that this is an idiot with no real planning experience or taste who thinks he knows more than me.

For the most part, this has worked very well. I'm the one who's been collating all the contact information for things, so I just replaced all the emails for the tacky companies with false addresses, responded to his inquiries as the companies to say the date was already booked or the price was outside our budget, and let him filter his way to the ones I DO like on his own. I also made a fuss about being "willing to compromise" on the few things he's picked I'm completely fine with in the hopes I can use it to make him compromise later, and have been humming portions of the songs I want on the playlist in the hopes he'll think he came up with the idea to include them himself.

None of this is the real problem. The PROBLEM is that he is deliberately ruining my seating chart, by moving our horrible friend's seat when I'm not looking.

The man in question dated both of us at one point in our VERY early 20s (both ended BADLY), is generally the messiest person we know, and will almost certainly get sloppy drunk and try to make a speech IF he does make an appearance. I'm banking on the fact that he won't, because he's also ridiculously wealthy, and will almost certainly send us some very lavish gift in lieu of coming.

He is SUPPOSED to be sitting beside my fiances aunt, at the same table as his grandmother, his work friend, and her girlfriend, because all four of these women are stone cold terrors who I believe are more than capable of keeping him in line on the slim chance he does come. My fiance INSISTS they won't be able to have any fun if they're running interference all night, and keeps moving him to sit at the head table instead. You know, where WE are. I finally caught him switching the label magnets on my planning board last night, and confronted him.

I tried leveraging how much I've been compromising already, that he's almost certainly going to RSVP no, and that I shouldn't have to deal with him on our big night. My fiance said he knew about all the fake emailing and such, and told me, and I QUOTE: "Look, the mind game shit was hot when it was just about the colour scheme or whatever, but I actually care about this. So you can suffer with everybody else, or you can do the normal thing and not invite a guy you hate to our wedding, you weirdo."

I said that if I did that, it would take out half his groomsmen, he called me an asshole and said I should go explain this to "literally any rational adult" so they could tell me I was in the wrong, and now here we are.

Would you recommend calling my fiance's bluff, since he doesn't want the man sitting near us either? Or should I focus on ensuring he'll turn down the invitation no matter what, so the matter of where he WON'T be sitting can be a moot point?

What are these acronyms?

A Blank Canvas appears! It is openly dumping all the dumplings from one of the tupperwares into its mouth, the sesame tofu one in fact. Well, the stealing of food not belonging to it is probably just business as normal for it. The smoke that is coming out from the sides of its head however is not. The BC doesn't seem to be too bothered by it though.

The remaining tupperware containers are left neatly stacked on top of one another, two containing leek and egg, two containing chives and mushrooms, and one containing sesame tofu.

The BC is noticeably eyeing the second case of sesame tofu but eventually settles for eating the tupperware the first one came in.

A handwritten note is attached to the pile of containers. A corner of the note is noticeably burnt. "There are dumplings here. Two have leek and egg, two have chives and mushrooms, and I am pretty sure you only have 1 sesame tofu now if the way Potato keeps smelling more and more of sesame when it came home is any indication. I hope you have a happy lunar new year or equivalent for Eorzea with its strange moon. - Chi"

Erna spots the BC's arrival and regards it with a raised eyebrow. She's not too bothered about the blatant food theft, though the smoke does seem like a potential cause for concern? No? Alright then, as long as you're okay.

She kneels down and accepts the containers, taking quick stock as she reads the note. She chuckles to herself and glances at Potato. "You like sesame, huh? Well, guess I'll have to make sure I keep some in stock for the next time you happen to come 'round."

She holds up a finger to tell them to wait and goes into her apartment's kitchen to scrounge up an appropriate snack reward for the little courier. She ends up coming back with some homemade dango.

"Here ya go, a little 'payment' for your time. Enjoy!"

As for the dumplings themselves, she'll likely end up sharing them with some of the other Scions. Because hey, the Heavensturn cheer deserves to be spread around, right?

[[ physical touch!

Love Languages

does your muse like being hugged?

((Yes! With an asterisk.

Lenar's very picky about touch. From the people he loves and trusts? Hug him as much as you want. Anyone who doesn't meet those requirements? Fuck off or he'll hit you.))

where could someone touch your muse to calm them down?

((A hug from someone he trusts would most likely do the job. Either around the shoulders or around the chest. Any lower and it starts to just get awkward and also leaves him with more of an opportunity to wriggle free lmao))

is there anywhere on your muse’s body they want to be touched most?

((Well there are certainly some places that he would like one very particular person to touch LMFAO))

does your muse find themselves subconsciously seeking out physical contact? ( ie. reaching for s/o’s hand without realizing it )

((Oh all the time. He seeks out physical contact with his loved ones almost out of habit. If he doesn't have anything else to do, he can and will seek someone out and just. Lean against them. If he's just hanging out with someone he likes? Somehow he'll find himself touching them, whether that's by laying on them or leaning against them or holding hands or some other gesture. By the end of this hangout he WILL be in physical contact with you.))

Skeptical? UFOs

Some Healthy Skepticism

Well. I've a sneaking suspicion that most things that are called UFOs are probably far more identifiable than people think. The ones who go on and on about them being "aliens" from another star are probably the least likely to listen to reason, though.

"Read to me"

Send "Read to me" for the mun to grab a book and have the muse read a random part of it to your muse.

The revived trainer is trying his best to voice the characters with how he believes they would sound

"Listen, Hurley... Solane is in wa-a-a-ay over her head. That's why we're here!" Magnus Burnsides, the human fighter, gets Caben best attempt at a gruff voice.

"That's all well and good, but, like, who even are y'all" Hurley is given a somewhat feminine voice along with Caben's best attempt at a Unoven accent

"All we can tell is: we're good guys who are trying to help. We have experience with this kind of stuff!"

"And we are really, really good at our jobs." Taako, the eleven wizard, gets a bit of a higher pitched voice

"Look, it's.... complicated."

"Maybe it's time to "get in the zone"..."

"What?" Merle Highchurch, the Dwarf cleric, gets an elderly sounding voice due to the big bushy white beard and just other traits that he seems to have.

"Maybe she needs to 'zone' out. Since she's having trouble telling us the 'truth'...?"

"Oohhh!!... Sorry I'm not following."

Caben had also been describing every panel to Emmet to the best of his ability, while some of the humor may go over his head he is enjoying the story as well as the art. There's apparently something called a podcast that tells the story as well so maybe once all the comics have come out he'll listen to it.

(( The book is The Adventure Zone; Petals to the Metal. The part where Merle tells some thugs that god is going to run them over with a train isn't in this version I don't think. ))

#phantasmal child (phantump) #emmetrain #verse; human once again #inquiry mail (asks) #(( I have a very limited number of books in my dorm so I choose the book I think he'd actually read. )) #(( Anyway I hope Emmet enjoys a story about a giant jellyfish eating information and causing memories of it to turn to static. )) #(( Also a pair of very important twins ))

How Ratio handles his reckless partner during a mission

I wrote this as a character study to better understand and illustrate how he treats people he respects and trusts (*´꒳`*)

So fluffiest fluff ever; in Ratio’s standards ofc

Please tell me if you guys want a part 2 of this ٩( ᐛ )و

Part Two ψ(｀∇´)ψ - Part Three (о´∀`о)

Support me on Ko-fi ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

“I often wonder how does the IPC’s HR department handles the recruitment process,” he sighs as he walks towards your body slumped to the floor as a result of your trademarked clumsiness

He stood there beside you waiting for you to sprung back to life like you usually do “How rude, for your information I aced my test,” you huff as you dust off your hands

“Is that so ?,” he replies candidly, he continues to leave you behind without much thought, he knows you possess some qualities that’s befitting for a investor but still you’re too clumsy and reckless at times

Hence why the higher ups assign him as your supervisor or so to speak, he acknowledges your lack of experience as well as your potential that’s why he agreed to be your supervisor

But he didn’t sign up to be your babysitter….

“Wait up would ya?,” you whine as you quickly jog to be by his side

He tilted his head to the side, studying you from afar to assess any damages on your body from the fall earlier “Time awaits for no one,”

“Please do think before anything else, stop making a fool out yourself while representing the IPC,” he continues his statement as he paced himself to be slightly slower for you to catch up

You huff feeling a little bit dejected by his statement but it’s the truth and from this past year of working beside him, you knew he always have your best interest at heart, well even though most of the times he verbally bullies you

“Yes yes of course Mr. Ratio,” you smile as you walk beside him, you notice that he slowed down his pace earlier, it made you smile to know that behind that rude demeanour he does care a lot

He steal a glance at your expression before resuming to look at the road ahead, he can’t help but to feel comfort in knowing that you didn’t seem to take his words to heart

He always finds it hard to express his truth towards others because to be frank the truth hurts, yet the pain itself is a important element to achieve improvement, pain used as a motivation of sorts

Most people deemed his truthful nature to be harmful yet you’re astoundingly adept in his true nature, you easily read between the lines and see his objective clearly

“Can I ask you something ?,” his sudden inquiry surprises you, it is usually you who do the asking, you deem this as a pleasant surprise

“Sure go ahead,” you reply casually while masking your excitement, he rarely does this so you’re ecstatic

“I know you’re both emotionally and intellectually intelligent, but I can’t seem to grasp why you’re so reckless at times,” he smiles as he ask this question, he’s mostly likely to remember a gamble you took a few weeks ago

Well granted you almost lose your life by gambling your life away in a literal sense to gain a dictator’s trust towards the IPC, but at least you won

Ever since that stunt, Ratio seems to respect you more although afterwards he berated your gamble for two hours straight

“Audaces fortuna iuvat,” you reply as you stare at his face, his merely scoffs as he took notice of the philosophy behind your statement

In a sudden trance he leans down towards your face, ardently reading through your flustered expression caused by the sudden close proximity “Fortune favours the bold, that’s very true to yourself,” his voice deepens as it is drenched in sultriness

Well this is an uncharted territory between you both-

He then leans back towards his previous position, smirking as he relish in your dumbstruck expression, he gently strokes your hair as a sign of acknowledgement something you didn’t knew you enjoyed before

“Now then we should get going, our next meeting is due in approximately 13 minutes,” he stated as he retracts his hand away and leaves you behind yet again but this time speechless and flustered

“H-hey !, what was that about ?,” you huff as you try to catch up with him, not knowing that he’s currently blushing himself underneath that cold exterior of his

“What have I done..” he mutters as he covers his face with his alabaster head
