[raptorrobot]

so in subnautica the picture frame item lets you display photos that you take ingame but i discovered the folder in the game files that stores those photos and you can just put whatever the fuck images you want in there and it'll appear ingame

#subnautica #discovery that made me giggle a lot #it was a moment of 'hold on surely there's a folder where these are that i can just put stupid images into' #lo and behold

The research notes on distilling dunamancy found in Brenattos apothecary are so interesting actually. It’s not outright stated who’s notes they are, but with a retrospective lens it’s quite clear that they’re Ludinus’. There are fragments there about his musings on some of Trent’s protégées showing proficiency with early dunamancy, that he is planning to incorporate it into his own skill sets to aid him in his pursuits, and he records how it seems the Kryn have been quote unquote “learning to bend and break the threads of destiny for hundreds of years. Be this truth, I cannot imagine the Raven Queen looks down upon them favorably either, though the thought brings a laugh to my lips.”

#I am going to be honest: I assumed he was aware of dunamancy for MUCH longer than this #but the way its stated implies this was a fairly new discovery #like i was aware that essek giving over the beacons had consequences™️ #but I suppose i had not considered it to its full extent before now #why did i think ludinus knew about dunamacy for ages because apparently NOT #also the bit about the raven queen at the end just made me laugh. he’s such as shithead lol #yes another c2 rewatch #cr2e48 #also what’s the EITHER at the end there?? what the beef with TRQ??? does she hate you specifically?? #i want the hot goss I want to know what he vanguard wear the symbol of TRQ I want to know why HER #otohan used to worship her. ludinus has beef with her. the vanguard wear her symbol #they marbelized HER champion #what the FUCK is up with that

The Resistance squatted in abandoned buildings. They were squatters.

Before I show the panels that show they used abandoned buildings, I just want to be logical about this for a moment.

It doesn't make much sense to assume these guys - looking around jump-into-university age (18-26) - could afford to make underground bunkers and metal-plated halls all across Japan, for their base. They wouldn't have the time, resources, or even support from others to make these places.

Where do they find the metal to hammer in? The posts? The knowledge of actually building tunnels or buildings from scratch without them falling apart?

Other than that, having a single stationary base (above-ground, for example), is not going to survive. All For One's supporters fight anyone who opposes him without him needing to say anything.

AFO rules Japan right now. Everyone is wary of each other. Look at how Bruce describes it as "the harshest era";

As All For One's supporters attack his opposers of their own will, and supporters don't even realize they're on his side, the Resistance has to constantly be on the move. They can't really trust anyone.

They can't have stationary bases, nor can they afford ANYTHING to make them. They would've been caught immediately trying to do a big project like that, especially if they needed supplies to do so from someone who likely works for AFO, even without knowing.

Japan was in economic and social turmoil. They can't trust the market to keep going and grocery stores to be open. Look at how Japan is with All For One and Tomura; people band together and stores are looted.

Money is obsolete. Society is divided between humans and "monsters" (Ability-users). You can't trust anyone because anyone could be his pawn. Time is running up as his control spreads everyday. Resources are being looted left and right. It's too dangerous to go outside alone. Even if you have a stun gun, what does that mean against Ability-users?

So what do they do with their limited resources? Trying to hide from the big guy? What "bases" do they have?

They hunker down in abandoned places that already exist and, again, are abandoned. No one's going to come looking for them in places that people have run from and left behind. Because these places are literally just that: places no one wants anymore.

You hide a tree in a forest. You don't make a big, special base somewhere that says "I am here!", and they don't have the resources or time to burrow underground or build that.

Hide in an abandoned building among many others. There's not many people in abandoned places, if they happen to be there at all. The Resistance isn't going to be found in the deserted buildings, but they still have to keep moving, because someone might be trailing them.

When they take Yoichi from the vault,

They're in a house. The couch is ripped, the mug is cracked, and so is the wall, with a questionable stain in the background. There are signs of fighting and abandonment, but it works.

Houses have food. Houses have clothes. Houses have beds. It's enough to sit in for a bit and heat up some water.

Not everyone packed their things and run. Some people just had to RUN. And when some places are full-on abandoned from an exodus, the Resistance is definitely gonna find some stuff there in the new "safe area".

Look below at where Kudo and Bruce hole up after Yoichi's death. No one's outside, there's a destroyed car, and there's some smoke further up the road.

The hospital/clinic room Bruce uses is ripped apart and unsanitary, but it's still the best they can do. I think that houses and a hospital would be their best bet for survival/using as a base; resources, lodging, and some sort of safety exist there. Especially in a hospital, which would have backup generators, a camera system, and even a PA system. Hospitals have to accommodate for lots of people (food, space, lodging), and have a lot of medical equipment they can use.

Basically what I'm saying is: the Resistance likely doesn't have a permanent base. They don't have the resources or enough safety to make their own. They squat in abandoned places and move constantly, because nowhere is safe, but they can't just waltz in public and declare where they are; they have to hide in plain sight while they bide their time. In the meantime, the places they use would have to be resourceful, or they're using what they have on their backs. The manga already shows them using a house and a hospital room.

#cuz im seeing people talk about how the Resistance definitely made big fortified bases above ground and underground #and had strongholds everywhere or in one place but #where do they get the budget and time to make them? #we clearly see them hunkering down in an abandoned hospital and yoichi in some guys house #when yoichi is talking about his brother and AFOs own memory plays at the same time so theyre side-by-side #yoichi looks like he got a bit of a trim methinks #anywhoo I think bruce has a medical education or something along those lines because he knows how to run a hospital computer #and blood tests enough to detect factors. thatd have to be something recently discovered or his own discovery #since abilities just started then #bnha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #spoilers #bruce #kudo #yoichi shigaraki #the resistance #afo #ofa #all for one #one for all #one for all users #dude not to offend but bruce and kudo dont look older than 30. they look like theyre 27 at best #bruce looks older than kudo which is why my guess is 27 being the oldest but really #id put kudo at 24 at the oldest. they look young and wouldnt have the resources to make buildings #nevermind the education or money or anything #anyway thats just my age guess of them #i think theyre about - if not /the/ - the same age #people talking about their base makes me pause because i just think: what base? #edit: THE RESISTANCE IS NOT THEIR NAME. THEY HAVE NO NAME?

"You have to let them. Find that person who seems farthest from you and reach for them. Reach for them. Let them guide you." I don't know if I've mentioned before, but I've just realized (again), that the reason Spock went after Chapel so hard is not only cause she's a good friend, but from his perspective, Chapel, who's the "complete opposite" of himself (Sung in the musical episode), he may have seen her as the person that was the "farthest" from him, in personality and mind.

And obviously, later in life, he actually finds it with Jim.

#Where No Man Has Gone Before and Then Some #star trek #spirk #jim kirk #spock #I do love how they made a whole quote for spirk <3 #I still haven't watched discovery tho lmao #but this makes even more sense why he kinda jumps on the chapel bandwagon #like - hear me out guys... he's just not that into her 🤷‍♀️ #I honestly don't think shes all that into him either - cause she straight up got engaged with korby #for my heart - just drop the chapel romance snw - its getting old #kirk and spock are literally soulmates - I need more of them in season 3

Everyone says that Leon is the only one with braincells in the group, but you guys are forgetting his official intro when he literally told renowned magic despiser Uther Pendragon about the lovely druids who rescued him from death

#he’s like I owe them my life :) :) #then why are you dooming them idiot #just say you made a miraculous discovery and be done with it #bbc Merlin #sir Leon

Ancient Greece Byler?

Most of Ancient Greece was gay I think

Technically, yes- Greece was pretty gay (and a little problematic, but oh well)

I was such an ancient Greece nerd as a kid, so this was really, really fun!

I need someone who’ll take me on the McDonald’s Parthenon Date

#byler #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #Ancient Greece byler #history with byler #will is the most famous philosopher #And it’s all just gibberish #I can’t believe Mike had a divine intervention on his quest of self-discovery #You’re the spart #Bc he’s spartan #I’m so funny haha #No that was actually the worst joke I’ve ever made

[dreamsrunfaster]

god i love watching old discovery. every season is pitch-perfect to the moment it was released. it met us in our grimdark misery and said hold my hand and it led us to the 32nd century.

#masterful writing #i'm just obsessed with each little foothold it carved out #i remember the first episode of disco s2 gave me whiplash bc it was so much brighter #season 3 did the same #and here we are #st dsc #star trek #star trek discovery #s5e4 made me nostalgic #look i know people have said s1 and s2 are too dark and i couldn't agree more #but they met us where we were

OK MORE ANALYSIS

towards the start of trimax, we get this little bit here. aka Meryl's birthday, & ALSO when there are official sightings of Vash reappearing. so we can assume that Wolfwood finds Vash again in February (ish) of 0113

this. the beginning of the end. happens on July 21st of 0114, the exact ten year anniversary of the July Incident (July 21st of 0104)

and Vash & Knives' birthday.

which that's a whole big can of worms that's gonna have me needing to run through my fic again for dates bc i didnt realize it was Literally exactly 10 years passed between then and now.

but MORE IMPORTANTLY...

when you think about the dates. between february 0113 and july 0114, that's 17 months. Vash spent 7 ish months on the arc (maybe 8, sometimes they say 8)

this means that Vash and Wolfwood traveled together for a total of about 10 months, give or take.

ten months, largely just the two of them.

i think i need to sit down lmao

#speculation nation #i say as if i am not already sitting #fanny reads trigun #fanny's trigun analysis #trigun #vashwood #TANGENTIALLY... #trigun spoilers/ #JUST... #the time they spend together is so indefinitely defined in trimax. we just dont get that much detail. #but this? this is a definite spread of dates. could be a little longer & could be a little shorter. Depending. #but approximately 10 months of traveling together. god. #sometimes you spend 10 months with someone and they completely rewrite your perceptions of life #your moral systems even! the way you LOVE!!!! #oh this was a very good thing for me to actually register lmfao bc Man this is some very good food here #i was running under the vague assumption that July Incident to start of manga was 6 years. then 2 years between jeneora & trimax start #then 8 ish months Plus a little to 9 years. but obviously that was imperfect. there are a few more months in there to get it to 10. #which jeneora happened in october of 0110. so if we assume a perfect 6 years passed then the manga starts july 0110. #that's 3 months then spent traveling with meryl and milly. give or take a little. #hmmmhmhmhm this is VERY good for fic timeline reasons. very very good. i have made some very important discoveries today. #also for any1 seeing this in the tag im mostly doing research for my own fanfic writing lol but i wanted to share it generally #bc these r good details for anyone to know. & not everyone has the patience to go looking for them. #SO here U go. some more details analysis. this time with Dates. yup.

it’s so scary and so freeing to just be a person.

#the discovery and fulfillment of my curiosity as I go #trying to scientific observational field researcher my way through discovering #What Existence Includes #while I’m in this state to experience it #it’s like being back to my very youngest days before I started learning the major rules #when I was just sensation and experience and curiosity #making sense / making an ongoing story of the world and time itself as it flies past #personal #cult escapee #katie.txt #past me: thank you thank you thank you for holding on through the nightmare. thank you for riding out the huge world-ending pain. thank you #it was worth it it was worth it #of course it isn’t perfect but I SAID it’d be better within a few years didn’t I? #you signed up for this you made the commitment when you knew. #you tried allowing yourself to trust yourself again for the first time since age 7 or so. #you knew you couldn’t hold it all up front for that long if you were gonna survive transplanting yourself like an organ. #you knew you’d be giving up a lot. and you did it anyway because you were brave and you cared that much about how very very little you #deserved better for her world #and here you are. and here we are. #you told the therapist ‘of course not!!!’ so instantaneously and so full of belief. so dead sure on deep reflex that you could NEVER #trust yourself in a million years because even if the supernatural surveillance state wasn’t real and you didn’t have innate evilness #just from the Doctrine Is Saying So #where was I going with this. I’m typing tags on mobile and it’s religious for me but it’s also impossible as a ui #anyway my POINT WAS: it is so hard and so scary but it’s like walking into the world of Sesame Street for real. #you were right. it IS good to be alive. the whole thing all the way through is a bewildering baffling marvel. you’re ok to be delighted #about it and marvel at how wild it is that there’s so much about it all and so many things to see and think and meet and feel and do during #our spans of time #no matter what came before or what might come next #what a goddam marvel of it all. ain’t it just the strangest thing of all that we’re alive. what a marvel. what an absolutely magnificent hit #existence is an absolute absurdity

was debating on whether I should post this or not but I spent so much time on it...🍎 I've been studying the death note art style, and for me studying an art style just means drawing myself as practice 💀

#this was made to be my new pfp but I got too attached to my near pfp so I just made it my header instead lol #I was very pleasantly surprised to find some people asking about it!! thank you fr!! #I didn't post it originally just cause I didn't think anyone would care much whether I did or didn't so ty for asking 🫶🫶 #what do I put in the tags HAHAHA #death note #death note manga #death note art #fanart #anime #self insert #oc #original character #<<< technically lol #elle draws #this is basically just a redraw btw of that one official art of light except I changed the scythe to a notebook because I am lazy #I actually really like how the hands are rendered in DN it was one of the pleasant discoveries I made that I'll be absorbing into my style #I have an anime artstyle one too but I haven't finished that yet #there are some parts where I sort of gave up on following the style tbh like hair in DN is so stringy you see every single strand #alas I am lazy (2)
