I love my new life and job in Colorado….. but I still wonder every day what life would have been like if I had ended up in the Navy :/

One thing I love about Fig's school arc is that it counters a lot of the utopic teen ideas about how high school and being a teenager "should" work.
Teachers trust your abilities enough to let you do whatever you want? Swaps classes mid-way through the semester in JUNIOR YEAR, pretty much ensuring that she won't be able to get the full benefits of any of the classes she is taking/has taken.
Parents/Guardians that don't prioritize or even really care about academics? If no one cares she has very little reason to actually try, let alone learn good study habits or try to plan for the future.
Get to pursue your passion and live your dream life as a rockstar? That's a full-time job hun, people build their entire lives around something you're trying to squeeze between night classes and solving mysteries. I hope you aren't feeling too tired, you need to write that album we already paid you for.
Idk, I just think it's fun to see all the ways having no rules or supervision can be just as detrimental to a child as having too many.

People can complain about """playersexual""" (ew) characters all they want, and yeah sure it would be better rep if characters were explicitly gay or bisexual and not just "whatever", but like
The amount of especially gay men I've seen talk about how happy they are to finally get to have gay romances w character like Wyll and Gale who have these extremely romantic and tooth-achingly sweet romances more than makes up for any surface level of representation we often get from a lot of explicitly xyz character imo
Like you can very obviously have a Hallmark™ romance for any character regardless of orientation, but there is a tendency to only give those to straight romances, in addition to making it like "9 straight characters and 2 gay ones" where the gays ones have less effort and content to them. So I honestly prefer this option where it's just an ambiguous mess until they figure out how to be less weird about orientation locked romances in general

Does anyone have a cool headcanon for why the Fortemps heraldry is on the jewellery you get from Dusk Vigil/The Vault? :D
(Like boringly, they only made 1 type for NPCs then handed it over to us via dungeon loot, and also made sure we get it from the dungeon right before Events. I'm talking, elaborate Ishgardian politics headcanon lore here)

regarding the genocide song contest:
various past eurovision contestants are campaigning for the removal of israel and some national finalists are now choosing to boycott. olly alexander, who will rep the uk, condemned the palestinian genocide and was subsequently attacked by israeli media (in a blatant rule violation the ebu did nothing about)
slovenian broadcaster rtvslo is purportedly trying to negotiate the removal of israel
1000 artists from host country sweden are preparing to send an open letter to the ebu to ban israel; the swedish left wing has also called for israel to be removed immediately
iceland is officially threatening to boycott eurovision pending the removal of israel
word on the street is that if iceland does compete, it will send palestinian artist bashar murad who is openly anti-israel and has collabed with previous icelandic reps hatari, aka the guys who did this back in 2019
iceland is now leading in the odds whereas israel has been steadily dropping, suggesting that the bookies are aware israel is becoming increasingly unpopular
lastly, in a move so ridiculous i'm beginning to suspect eurovision is a figment of our collective imagination, israel is seemingly gearing up to enter eden golan, a moscow-based russian singer. while russia is still banned for terrorism.
if you're european: please contact your participating broadcaster and demand for the removal of israel, or try to contact your nation's selected artist to put pressure on the broadcaster. if you're swedish, please try contacting svt or authorities with security concerns regarding the inclusion of israel. if israel does enter eden golan, complain about her selection and ties to russia. and absolutely DO NOT vote on, watch or promote this show if israel does end up competing.
