#bc I have vague ideas for Both

I keep thinking about Garlean technology versus Eorzean but this time I'm specifically on the medical sciences bc like.
We don't hear it often but Eorzea is still using the 4 humors. They have magical healing so it makes sense their understanding of biology and medicine is stunted (and then you add on the sheer destruction that comes from the calamities that often basically has everyone clawing their way back from literally nothing. I expect we only have so much of Allag left bc they had a tendency to launch shit into the sky.) Like i'm sure there are some scientifically minded people that want/do biology research in Eorzea, but I feel like there are societal rules against, like, autopsies and such much like irl societies have/had. And as far as I know, there is no evidence of surgery in eorzea in canon
On the other hand we see Garlemald and we know surgery exists bc of some of the modifications to bosses (looking at you SB.) We know they must have a comprehensive grasp of medicine to have been half as prosperous as an Empire. We see far too many old garlean men for me to believe it's all luck and genetics. I don't think they rival today's medicine, mind, but I think they know what an antibiotic is, you know?
What i'm saying is, these two practices have their benefits both but I imagine they can also treat completely different things. Like of course there's overlap but imagine Garlean medicine finding the cure to the Creeping Death? They give Eorzea the ability to triage so deep stabbings aren't necessarily fatal bc magic can't close the wound? What about magically assissted surgery? Makes it 100% survival rates bc the boost? What if we marry the two?

Maybe it’s time for Kara to try this gauntlet instead of Supergirl.

one thing i'm really really fascinated by is the fact that everyone in the modern pokemon world seems to consider the deities a power source, nothing more. the games generally imply that knowledge of the legendaries has been lost to time and legend and only preserved by a select few who keep to the Ancient Ways but i don't really think that sounds likely. i think they might be common knowledge people just don't seem to. conceptualize them as greater than in the way that we generally think of them. "this is a divine force that underpins reality and has been worshipped since antiquity" is not a thing that seems to have any problem coexisting with "i'm going to put this thing in an engine and make it my tool." and it's very frequently the baddies doing this which maybe weakens the point a little but very rarely is the point of contention with the bad guys "hey you shouldn't do that to god" that's kind of like, never the part of their thing that people object to. it's always their motives, never their methods. when the Good Guy (local ten year old) catches god and makes it their new partner, nobody has a problem with it! and people joke about this but i'm saying it might imply a way deeper facet of society than people give it credit for.
and is this maybe trying to force the round peg of pokemon legendaries into the square hole of actual religion. very possibly! the games aside from pla certainly seem only very occasionally interested in treating these creatures as gods or godlike or worshipped in any way, and far more often just want to treat them as regular pokemon But Stronger. so it's maybe not reasonable to try and say these entities are deities. but the problem is they are! it's not like this isn't supported textually, it's just... not a part of canon that canon is actually interested in. dialga, palkia, the lake trio, kyogre, groudon—these things are gods. canon can mince words and call them legendaries and "worshipped as deities maybe sometimes" but when you get to the point where you're discussing something that represents a fundamental force governing reality and/or can end the world on a whim then idc what you call it. that's a god.
but the problem is that they are gods and also pokemon, they're both simultaneously. and people in the pokemon world seem to have worked this out, and have had the collective realization that the gods are truly not exempt from their own rules. they can be captured, they can be subjugated, they can be used. this also ties back in with the whole anarchism discussion obviously but it's just the fact that like. it goes way deeper than everyone being fine with the ten year old putting the lord of time in a ball. the entire world operates on the premise of "eat your gods."
does that like... contradict worship? can you be faithful to something knowing it's been used as a tool?

HHHNNNNNNGGGGGGGG the Red Dwarf laughing track thing has consumed my brain now.
I've seen many people cover it already so I won't say much, but damn.
What if they could hear it? Who would be the most fucked over to hear it? [I mean Rimmer obviously but the others would be devastated too]

saw a video about 2 player ttrpgs and one of them was like "this one's about a pretend marriage" and i was like oh? and i looked it up on itch (eyes on the prize, fyi) and it's 50% as of right now and i was like OH? and i bought it immediately & ive read most of it and i am a big fan. and i KNOW that i have friends who would have fun playing it (it's a 2 player or 4 player game; the 4 player variant has 2 fake couples) but asking them is going to be so cringe. yeah we're gonna make up people and pretend to be them and then pretend to pretend to get married and the characters when they start their pretending they're gonna be like "oh we don't have any romantic feelings towards each other this is strictly plot" but then (get this) they will start to develop real feelings for each other. and we're gonna act it out together and pretend to be them but don't worry! we have no romantic feelings towards one another. this is strictly plot. when WE (irl) pretend to be in love it's actually platonic, unlike the people who we are pretending to be to each other. so do you have like 2-5 hours you wanna dedicate to that next week
and the worst part is that's 100% what i want. like i have roleplayed romance before with friends it is literally not a big deal because the whole point of roleplay is that the character ISN'T you. but with a fake relationship the crushing weight of dramatic irony hovers behind me
#i do want to play it though it seems fun. i actually think it would be more fun to do the 4 player variant#just bc like. to me fake dating is all about the audience. the way you act alone vs in public#it's about the drama. the show. having other people to bounce of off in rp i think benefits that#eh. im overthinking it i'll get over myself & bring it up. i at least wanna talk about it to people even if we don't intend to play it#i also kinda think you could use the game as more of a writing prompt than a roleplaying game if you wanted?#like. ideally you're still have 2 or 4 people who have a character they mainly control#and you'd like. co-write a story by hashing out responses to each card (which is the main game mechanic) & writing it down#but you would lose some of the imo more like... silly (affectionate) parts of the game?#because some of it is really about the improvisational aspect of both ttrpgs and the fake dating trope#but i still think it would be really fun. and i have done a lot of text-based roleplay before#so i am biased towards it just in general.#i also think you could probs play with 3 players with slight bending of the rules and in and out of game acceptance of polya relationships#esp because the setting is like. vaguely period piece fantasy nobility. you go to fancy parties and shit#i feel like those people had very complicated love lives i think a throuple would be fine#also We Are Playing Pretend#good idea generator#unrelated but did wtf when did they update the post editor the tags are so ugly LOL

OK so I have an inkling of an idea for a trigun ficlet. A one-shot, really. Not really any plot, but I just have the urge to write my own interpretation of Weird Plant Shit. Like for how much ppl tag this stuff as xeno, most of it's honestly pretty tame. Which kinda makes sense, considering a lot of this is being based off of the plants in stampede, which While uncanny are not NEARLY the amount of inherent horror of the plants in the manga. There's some FREAKY shit going on there. So like. You know. What if I took more inspiration from That for Vash's freaky shit?
#speculation nation#YES this is for a smut idea. dont judge me#ive never posted smut b4 bc ive exclusively been writing akeshu & theyre teenagers#im not interested in writing smut of teenagers#but i have my interests 😭 and i am an undeniable monster fucker. we been knew.#just. vague idea. ppl have run with the plant idea. & id wanna too. but in a different sort of way.#thinking more. venus fly trap kind of situation. NOT easily translatable to human biology#the kinds of shit that may trip even the most adventurous man up. but we all know he would take it in stride in the end.#idfk so much of the allure of this pairing to me is the inherent inhuman nature of vash's physical form. and how that manifests everywhere#the human and the angel. for all that entails.#i dont have an idea for an actual story for these characters yet. my brain is spinning them but it hasnt come up with that yet#but a lil smth self indulgent to just play around with Fun Ideas? i reaaally wanna go for it.#we'll see if i end up writing this. & if i end up posting it.#im both somehow Very solidly kinky and VERY solidly shy about it. aka why i barely post about that kind of stuff.#face in my hands just talking about this here. who knows how i'd fare with posting it.#but if i go thru the trouble of writing it you BET id go thru the trouble of posting it#and you B E T itd be angsty. the inherent longing and unsaid words. what am i if not an unrepentant angst writer lol#thoughts & ideas r spinning. i will have a merry little time.#uhm. do i need to tag this as anything. is this too tmi? i dont even know#WELL if u read the word 'xeno' and keep reading that's on U. sorry#here just in case if ppl r worried i will tag this as#tmi/#sorry lol

That Jack Russell vid is how I imagine Loop talks about Siffrin to ppl post-game. Like, "Oh yes, Siffrin! my sibling I've known about since he was the size of a boot. Sometimes we'd let him run around the fields near our house until he fell over yknow~?" (Also did I ever send u that kingdom hearts isat essay I have Siffrin's memory but without the excuse of magic bullshit so I genuinelydon't remember)
LMAO oh god yeah they would do that...... i feel like postgame Loop would be a menace to poor Sif's already silly reputation
and yea u did!!!! ive just been holding off on answering it both bc a friend (who also likes kh) is playing isat rn and i dont wanna spoil them on anything :3 and bc i need time to form a proper response to all of that xksbkdbsks

PLEASE GOD MORE PAYPIG STUFF OH MY GOD 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
AHAHA <333 YES ABSOLUTELY I LOVE WRITING PAYPIG JR STUFF
NSFT OBVIOUSLY, MINORS DNI
OH theres. so much stuff so I'll try to pick a few that I didn't do last time!!
EHEHE <333
There's literally no way he wouldn't go full Sugar Daddy and give you a monthly allowance
LIKE JUST,, seeing that little Dip in his bank account at the first of every month does SOMETHING to him. There's something that hits him in a special kind of way, thinking about how tightly you've got him around your finger
TBH?? just keep upping it. From a few thousand to a few hundred thousand. Keep asking him to the number higher and higher. Why would you even look at him for less than a 100,000 a month?
you’re gonna hear an audible groan in the back of his throat. Just this <333 fantastically helpless little noise. 
I also have no doubt in my mind that he'd be into Degradation so feel absolutely free to shame him for folding so easily after!! Grab this man by the chin and hum and how ‘pathetic he’s being - can’t even hold out for five minutes?’
WHEN I SAY GREEDY I MEAN BE GREEDY.
Right after he finishes getting dressed, grab him by his tie and take the Stickpin/Lapel Pin right out.
If you wear earrings? Keep that hold of his tie when you turn to face the mirror, and gently slip em into place in your ear.
WATCH HIM GULP WATCH THAT STIFF LITTLE NOD OF SUBMISSION. <333 HAVE FUN WITH IT THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER.
In the same vein, stealing his clothes? Esp the super fancy, custom suits he gets imported from like,, Parisian Boutiques?? <333
something about you. taking ownership of smth that was HIS + seeing you in HIS clothing. being so nonchalant about it. <333 he’s gonna be such a mess like come ON
Other misc delights include : 
buying a new car with his money, dragging him into the backseat by his tie and riding the soul out of him.
While he’s fucking you, say he’s only allowed to cum if he writes you a clean, legible check. If he messes up, tear it in half, up the sum, and tell him to write it again. His hands are shaky enough as is <3 give it 10 minutes he’ll be incoherent.
Using his money to buy some super expensive custom necklace/bracelet/choker with either his family crest engraved, or just straight up ‘JRs’ <33333333 oh boye
EHEHE <33 I adore Paypig JR stuff he’s,, such a delight. LMK IF YOU HAD SMTH ELSE IN MIND <3333

grumbling sigh. no thoughts. just the tragedy of yves today actually. despite finding out his whole identity is a lie and he's been lying to himself abt everything actually, he was so normal today. he nearly decided to fuck shit up just to get the final pieces of the worldkiller mech, but last minute decided to show up at elias's door at like 2 am and was like "heeeeyyyyyy sorry i didnt respond to your messages for a few days. you wanna help me with something lollll teehee :3"
and honestly? it was good. it was good for him. he needed that. its going to be crash and burn after this babeeeyyyyy

i think im in love with amadeus! can you tell us more about them?
Tumblr media
amadeus is a little weird, they're an oc with a (vaguely written) self-contained story, and also a fan character whenever i feel the devil take me over, so the details about them are almost intentionally open-ended because they adapt as necessary to whatever situation i put them in. That all being said, when Amadeus is just floating around there untethered inside my imagination, they still have some consistent details I could probably stitch together for you.
Amadeus is based on being a personified wishing star, so are just space themed in general with other concepts mixed in for fun, like a lot of alien lifeform tropes and having some android traits, most to do with their microphone (they’re 100% deaf without it, in practical function its a magical and convoluted hearing aid that their voice also comes out, all of that only when it’s connected. They are narrated by Jack Black.), but I wouldn’t call them inhuman. I also bounce between gender-neutral and masculine pronouns for them, I don’t think either are incorrect.
In any given situation, I always imagine Amadeus as "not from wherever they are currently located". Generally speaking, they're always from space, somewhere within our galaxy, though not anywhere in specific. Literally just not from here.
Tumblr media
They also change colors based on YOUR mood if its intense enough, you know like a mood ring. Positive energy really gasses them up so they try to be the guy that makes you smile and feel your best.
Tumblr media
When they aren't being adapted to fit another narrative, I imagine Amadeus was once in a band as the lead vocalist until it broke up, and now they're a solo rock star who tours around the milky way performing for other extraterrestrial societies. They love being a performer and making music for other people, because music is what makes people daydream, it's a motivator in the pursuit of your goals, and it's universal. The feeling of people wanting to achieve and reaching for their goals is essential energy to Amadeus as a sort of wishing star, so they don't want to stop making their art despite knowing full well that they, themselves, work best as part of a group and wanting to be in a band again. They're going through MASSIVE burnout as a result of overworking themselves, but aren't ready or willing to admit that yet.
They get forced into a situation that makes them take a break after getting stranded on an earthish planet and end up meeting their mutual pining interest at the same time. their name is informally Glendale, the concept of time and function of Death in a Terry Pratchett kind of way. They’ve also got their own shit going on too, but the two of them are healing together.
