#SIR you are Biased

[prestisssimo-tempestuoso]

“Spying is not the cleanest business,“ Tharkay said, perhaps reading his face.

Laurence shook his head sharply: he felt certain whatever might be distasteful in the work Tharkay did could have nothing to do with this kind of selfish treachery. “There can be no comparison,” he said, and then realized he had betrayed himself unintentionally.

Tharkay nodded a little, but did not speak directly to the subject. “The two are not unrelated, I am afraid,” he said only. “A man rarely will compromise himself without assistance.”

“That does not justify the act upon his side,“ Laurence said. “No man may be made a traitor without his consent.“

He could speak from experience; he had given his own consent, once. He could not understand the coarseness of spirit which could permit a man to do such a thing for money and not the bleakest imperative of honor.

Me playing Tears of the Kingdom: As much as I miss the champions, it makes sense they're not mentioned much. It's been a hundred years since they died. Even if they survived the Calamity, most of them would probably be dead at this point. The only exception being Mipha, who would have been the only one that would still be alive if she survived the calamity due to her age. The reason they're still remembered so much in Breath of the Wild is because the Divine Beasts, one of the last remaining connections to them, are still active and looming in Hyrule. Impa also said that their spirits feel uneasy knowing their task of defeating the Calamity wasn't done. They were at peace when the Calamity was defeated and passed on. They're not brought up from that point on because them and their era are over and can be laid to rest.

Also me playing Tears of the Kingdom: - holding back tears - Damn I miss the champions

#LIKE YEAH. I GET IT FROM A THEMATIC POINT. BUT FROM A 'SIR THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS' POINT. I AM ACHING #I love the sages in TotK! Don't get me wrong! #I mean look at my icon tee hee #But I've grown so attached to the champions their absence feels so off. I'm fifty-fifty on it #I wanna be clear: Big agree with people who say the Sheikah Shrines and tech being suddenly gone feels off #It's unexplained and feels far too significant to easily write off #I feel similar about the champions and how little they're mentioned in game #I don't think Zelda even has a single line of dialogue that mentions them. #She and Link lived through the calamity and knew them as friends #At least a tiny mention would have made sense since she does briefly talk about the Calamity with Sonia and Rauru #I guess it makes a little sense?? In regards to the developers wanting to be hush hush about BotW spoilers for newcomers #But the way they went about it is like they tried to forget it happened. It doesn't feel right. #This might also be my biased speaking cause the original sages? Cool and all #But they feel so hollow compared to the characters that the champions had #Anyways I am still VERY in love with TotK. It's consumed way too much of my time #But I also wanted to talk about this gripe dhdjfjejfjd #Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I'm sorry this is a whole wall of spilling #Anyways will I cope by remembering Age of Calamity is a thing despite how much it obliterates the timeline? #Dang right #Tears of the Kingdom #Breath of the Wild #TotK Spoilers #LoZ TotK #Loz BotW #BotW Champions #Long Post

You can’t make this shit up you click on an article about how hamas hostages were treated (for the sake of checking yourself on bias and with the intention to verify it with multiple sources) and the headline will be « return from the horrors of hamas » and then the text is actually « they treated me rather well just didn’t have much food and i was in danger due to Israeli airstrikes” You know the shit the government claims necessary to rescue them. This world is bullshit

#sam speaks #idk what to tw this #let me know if it needs one. #the buas im media reporting is staggerring. the lack kf context. the misleading headlines. the biased picking. #oh yikes i typed hamas in the search bar and ‘’free palestine from Hamas’’ came up how fucking disgusting liberation has to come from within #anyways did you know people are incredibly politically shortsighted and bad at grasping scopes of violence and bias #(just in case yeah october 7 was an atrocity it must be understood as retaliation against colonialism tho) #the nyt article about a very moderately left newspaper going ‘’youre just jealous israel is successful (at war crimes ? sir)’’ FROM A FORMER #EMPLOYEE talk about bias broke me #also wikipedia constantly listing israeli deaths before and continuously giving credit to baseless accusations of antisemitism towards any #thing palestinian or even sympathetic. or even not violently against. sigh #also did you know the uk ambassador’s most ‘’progressive’’ stance ? that israel needs to ‘’harness the economic potential of its arab #community too’’ #im turning into the joker

anyways. sir google can u tell me who is the character ever

Gilgamesh (from the epic). OG heartbreaking bromance. Pour one out for our man Enkidu, gone but not forgotten

#asks #It's been a while since I read that... #Close second place is Beowulf #You ever rip an arm off a monster and then go to fight a dragon ALONE at age 70?? Beowulf is basically Doomguy #Third place is Gawain but only because I'm biased and have 4 different translations of Sir Gawain & The Green Knight

[violetclarity]

filled with such rage at the current situation in palestine and the demoralizing spinelessness of us democratic politicians so my outlet for that (beyond calling my reps obvs, for all the FUCKING good it does) is knitting/crocheting as many hats as I can to donate to my local cooperative bookstore, for their winter-time "take what you need" area of warm clothing and food

I started two days ago and I've already finished one hat and have two more in progress

#palestine #i/p #I'm not an angry person but I got into a screaming argument with my father a few days ago #because he told me I should check where I'm getting my news because videos from palestine could be deep faked #sir!!! #YOU spend the past month watching endless videos of people reporting from ruined neighborhoods surrounded by bodies #and YOU tell me if you think they are /fake/ #he gets all of his news from a source that openly admits to being biased and yeah it's left leaning but that's not any better!! #anyway. my congressman sent me an auto-reply email that made steam come out of my ears & I hate everything rn #but I bought four balls of yarn for $12 today (sales) so there are so many hats in my future #concrete actions etc. or whatever

[teamsieben]

me when i see someone expressing dissent about a popular ship that i like: Oh no i am terrible for thinking these two fictional characters would be cute together It is such a terrible crime and i must be put to death for liking the popular ship that is popular

like. can people disagree with me without me contriving it to mean that im actually bad. for ONE second. is there a mental illness that this is a symptom of i need to pathologize my behavior stat

#this post is about davekat #im not gonna elaborate because i hate discourse for obvious reasons #i just #i dont think it 'doesnt fit their character arcs' or whatever #and maybe im biased. because my brain will be like 'gay people?!' at every crumb #sir this is literally homestuck it's easier to list characters that ARE straight #you dont need to hoard canon gayness like its bread in the great depression #anyway ill shut up now

[ofallthingsnasty]

No fr now I'm thinking about how different yanderes would treat you while sick... You know like the basement wife trio....

#nasty.talks #who is the basement wife trio? in my mind that's enji sir overhaul #but i am biased because they are my faves #aaaaand mainly because i think many bnha yanderes wouldn't even kidnap you :o seriously! #uuh yeah discussion for another day if you read this feel kithed

[seraphdreams]

Ma’am! I HATE TAKEMICHI. Like I only watch the anime so I don’t know if he gets better later on in the manga but bro he’s so annoying. And then the way the others treat him as if he’s so amazing ass person when he’s not pisses me off. He’s literally an idiot who does nothing but stop shit that needs to happen from happening. Like everytime takemichi gets his ass beat I literally be cheering the other people on. Like I don’t think he’s done anything smart in the two seasons that’s been on.

NO LITERALLY!! they’re all like “you’re our hero” and i’m sitting here confused wondering if we saw the same thing cause i just watched him get his ass beat then rely on mikey to finish the job. i feel like wakui tried to make michi like deku and failed terribly

#and then I HATE #maybe i’m biased #but the way they REPLACED BAJI SO QUICK WIRH MICHI #MADE ME FURIOUS #cause mind you he hasn’t even been dead two months and here comes chifuyu calling takemichi partner #AND GIVING MICHI BAJI’S SASH AND BAJI’S RANK #like sir did you grieve????? #seraph.replies! #tokyo revengers spoilers

Thanks for your post explaining the situation surrounding Mariusz quitting his job! You write: "As someone who lives in Wrocław and is a student at its Music Academy I can only tell you - he was... not much liked, to put it lightly, by the Big People". By all means, he was a celebrated opera singer in Europe and the USA. What made them dislike him so much?

oh goodness gracious, i really cant say, why would you even ask me that! im the last person who'd engage in such shameless gossiping!

sike lol

i never heard anyone say he was not a great artist. no one doubted that. people only questioned whether he was the right guy for the job, only having experience as a singer, a perfomer, no matter how renowned. or rather, the main issue was - how much, having no experience in the position he now occupied, he was earning. because that really was an insane (and i mean. INSANE) amount of money.

Ołdakowska getting the job of the director was also a pretty controversial thing, so automatically, people who weren't in favour of her winning, didn't also like Kwiecień since she was the one who chose him for the job.

then there was the issue of the changes Mariusz wanted to make. he was in favour of promoting young, new singers and hiring big names for guest performances, ergo, many of the singers who had already been hired full-time for years by the opera house in Wrocław stopped getting big roles etc. no roles - no money (or rather, very little money, the bare minimum actually). this, coupled with the amount Kwiecień was earning... well.

he and Ołdakowska also promised Big Things but sadly they both got the jobs in the beginning of 2020 and we all know what happened then, not much could actually be done when the entire world was more or less paralysed by the pandemic.

and yeah, that's more or less it. id say, tl;dr in the end it's always all about money. and some personal beef he may or may not have had with some people, i really can't say cause that's all i know.

#please remember that in the end we're all just sipping tea and gossiping here. i say what i know what ive heard. #but do take into account that i generally tend to Not Know Shit on many topics so. yknow. dont take my word for godsent truth #no matter how tempting it is 😇 having said that. #i personally know some young singers who worked with him and never heard them say a bad word about him #but then again #being a nice person doesnt magically erase other things that you fucked up #i stated my personal opinion on the issue with the changes he made that not everyone welcomed in the previous post #so i wont say a thing about that here #the money thing... look. he stated his price. someone had to agree to pay him that amount. they could have said 'no sir that's fucked up' #but they didnt. they hired him for that amount and it's not like. illegal or sth. the morality of it is a different thing altogether. #and ngl i am biased because ive been a huge fan of mariusz since i can remember. #but the truth is - i know if the same thing was done by eg n*trebko or someone i dont like id absolutely drag their ass through dirt #and say it's a scandal so. #thankfully its not my job to have an opinion about him as a person. all i know and care about is that he is an amazing artist. #a spectacular actor. a decent baritone. and it is to him that i owe a huge part of why i fell in love with opera in the first place so #there you have it #mariusz kwiecień #opera tag #gossips uwu
