[Lanfear to Rand] “Prophecy is no more than the sign of what people hope for. Fulfilling the Prophecies will only bind you to a path leading to Tarmon Gai’don and your death.”

sick and twisted that after three books spent resisting his fate + lanfear warning him that using the prophecies as a guide will only further seal rand’s fate in book 4, rand decides to go all in and starts meticulously ticking them off his list. willingly sealing his own fate.

#I love you rj’s take on prophecies!!! #rand you need some therapy desperately!!! #mr sanderson he is not resisting his fate. he’s running towards it 🤒 #text #wheel of time #rand al’thor #wot notes #rand enters the doorway ter’angreal AFTER this and asks the aelfinn whether there’s a way he can survive tarmon gai’don though… #the answer is not very helpful obviously :/ #does rand trust min’s prophecies more than min herself? discuss. #as a general rule he trusts nobody around him even when they try to help him - except the prophecies.

I HATE FANDOM WANK YALL ARE UNHINGED. VERY NEGATIVE BTW

#post (bad) was like 'adults need to take responsibility for what kids see online even publically posted fanwork' #it INCLUDED the sentence 'parents should monitor their kids internet more' and implied that people arbitrarily designated minors #dont have the impulse control to not look at content with warnings #all of this is not fucking true. children are people #and then every note arguing with the original post is like 'can we not have ONE SPACE without FUCKING minors... 😮‍💨' #'why is our responsibility to raise peoples kids for them' 'this implies that non kid friendly content shouldnt exist' #the last one is 100% true for the record but i think what yr getting at is that this random 'antishipper' on the internet #is responsible for like. sesta/fosta. no lmfao get real #and EVERY ONE OF THESE NOTES. is still fully accepting what the original post posits #that people arbitrarily designated minors are unable to resist barging into fan spaces #this is not true. kids are actually able to display the required self control in most cases #it doesnt come from a material condition of being a teenager. it sure as hell doesnt come from lack of brain development #people under 18 (age chosen by the government) are not easily impressed animals who just cant resist looking at triggering things #and then like. start whining about it because of their delicate constitution #the people you are talking about have every marker of 'adulthood' #theyre just a convenient pawn for yall to bitch at each other about shipping fictional characters #thats the only capacity that some people give a fuck about children in and it shows.

Katya was one of my time-traveler people before I had the concept of that. The precursor to what would eventually become that, basically.

In the oldest versions of my story, when I first decided to create a fictional race of people, they were just a modern invention, a result of an unethical genetics experiment. Some Russian scientist wanted to create a new, "superior" type of person that were hardier to harsh environmental conditions and immune to diseases. But these newly-created people end up being stigmatized in society (and eventually Russia decides to genocide them so they escape and move to other parts of the world), so naturally they formed an identity of their own. And a lot of them became scientists themselves and played a role in various things. There really wasn't much depth to them though because I was like 15 and the primary point of my story at the time was just coming up with batshit insane WW3 geopolitics.

#storyposting #although in one version of the story these people are like insanely powerful #like they basically take over Russia and form some new evil bullshit empire based on literally making normal humans extinct or whatever #(and Katya was obviously part of the resistance to this) #basically they were just really lame sci-fi villains for a while #there were so many versions of that story #like I can't even put in order which ideas came first. or details too specific. because it was so long ago. #all I have left are vague memories and any remnants of notes on it #usually in the form of descriptions on my character refs on deviantart #any actually written parts of the story or word document files are all gone unfortunately

do u ever speak too soon & immediately regret it.

#yes this is about the trade that just happened three minutes ago #clown shoes of prophecy in the tumblr tags #no i am not Doing Well #I THOUGHT I WAS GODDAMN SAFE FROM THE BRUINS #to be deleted but i am literally resisting the urge to screech like a feral animal in the gym right now i am being soooooo normal #WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME PERSONALLY SPECIFICALLY I’M GOING TO CRY INTO A HOLE I CAN’T DO THIS NARRATIVE IT’S ONLY DYLAN LEFT YOU TOOK HIM #i have to pretend to be normal :) i have to take an exam :) and function as a human being :) instead of crouching like a bug on the floor #and then i will come home and open up the notes app i made two (?) years ago that says ‘if tyler bertuzzi ever gets traded it’s-’ #& everyone will be suffering with me. sorry not sorry for the influx of sad bertuzzi posts that are coming like i have Such a relationship #with him as a player &i know he’s the worst but also it really sucks to watch every guy you thought was the core of ur team get traded away #purely narratively speaking in all bemoaning etc etc etc except for the part where we don’t have a gritty net front presence now & #who’s gonna be larks & lucas’ winger & i just cried about tyler in a fight the other day because mickey said ‘i’m sure he wants to protect #those hands but sometimes you can’t you gotta do it for the boys’ & i think mickey said ‘they’ as in the team wants him to not hurt his hand #again but he has to fight & if that isn’t also v much a part of the old gods detroit it was always tyler champion of blood & guts & giving #& regardless of hockey (EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS FOR DRAFT PICKS I HATE DRAFT PICKS WHAT ARE U GONNA DO WITH THOSE like at least if #it’s for a guy i could maybe learn to love him but you never remember who you traded to get those draft picks unless it’s narratively r #relevant later but right now it feels like it’s for nothing & i don’t want to learn to love some new guy in five years i miss tyler already) #anyway. ik full well this won’t cause me to actually finish tyler borzoituzzi bc i haven’t even properly started it but i can dream of spite

Hypothetically Heckling Hyperbolically

Scene: If Huey had been a couple years younger and able to overhear Ronny and Elmer’s peri-drowning conversation...

⁂

(TL;DR)

Ronny: Magic mirror of the sea, who is the unlikeliest to smile besides me?

Huey: Me.

Elmer: True that. Psyche! It’s me.

Ronny: Shit.

Elmer: Cope. I do. Anyway, you’re going to make Maiza smile, and you’re gonna like it. You’ll like it till you drop dead from smiling!

⁂

Ronny: Mortal, I can grant you power beyond your wildest dreams. Perfect immortality. Freezing time. Extreme farsightedness. Command over the human race. Money go brr. Anything. Anything! Think big. Bigger. BIGGER. Think deep.

“After thinking for a little while...”

Elmer: s m i l e

Ronny: Elaborate.

Elmer: Laugh from the bottom of your heart, at the top of your lungs, like you’re having fun, like you’re overjoyed. Woo me like one of your French girls, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, lips parted just so in the latest fashion of joie de vivre. Tell me how you smile, you who are called a demon, and what makes you really and truly happy.

Ronny: What? No. Who are you.

Huey: Addict. Smile Junkie. Joyster.

Ronny: Listen. Before you are two buttons. The red one can get you permanently clean on the spot. The blue one gets you a one-time BSOD except the :( is a :). Choose wisely.

Elmer: :)

Ronny:

Ronny: This is the most difficult, most challenging, most unfeasible wish ever asked of me. You ask for what is impossible now, nigh impossible in the near future, and forever the unlikeliest of the unlikely to occur.

Huey: Oh, God, don’t encourage him.

Elmer: so what I’m hearing is that there’s a chance

Huey: Elmer, remember when I asked you “would a man who had no personal experience with happy smiles be able to give them to others?” and you went ‘point taken?’ Think carefully.

Elmer: So, what you want to do, Ron, what you do in this sort of situations is you attach yourself to someone else in similar smileless straits, straits sans smiles to quote your French girls, and you make them your pet—pet project, yeah, and you just, you know, do what it takes until they give you a laugh right from the gut. Ron, I betcha anything you’ll be able to smile after that, I mean, we’re talking my tried and true methods here. And partner, if we reunite, smile then, because you owe me—I love ya, Ron, but I’ll find you, and you’d better be glad that you met me again. ‘I can smile now! How d’ya like them apples?!’ …I’ll even take a reason like that, so please, show me your smile.

Ronny: Methods?

Huey: His only one.

Ronny: Has it ever worked?

Huey: No.

Elmer: It worked on you.

Huey: You know which party he meant.

Elmer: Look, I was going to suggest that Ronny stick close to Maiza, what with the dead brother and other dead so-and-sos being a real bummer and all, but... I guess I could wish for Ronny to tag alone with me until I smile for real instead...

Ronny: Wait. Hold on. Wait, demon, there’s still time to change my wish—I hadn’t pressed it y—Maiza! I wish for Maiza! My mind is made up.

Elmer: Ah, you’ve chosen the blue button after all. I figured you would. 

Huey: Dare I ask why you didn’t wish for my smile?

Elmer: Well... When weighing my options, I like to choose the one that has the highest chance of succeeding.

Huey: So that’s why you didn’t wish for a genuine smile to call your own, Mr. Empty Ending?!

Elmer: Words can’t hurt me :). Not if I’m empty, right? You should try it sometime oh wait you are. What was that about failed methods, again? Cheer up! You know you want to you. You’ll never best me in the sans émotions racket, so you may as well give up and smile. Come on. Give up. Embrace failure. It’s futile to grieve the dead, but to be so delusional as to try and Lazarus-Frankenstein your wife when not even Ronny can? Move on. Smile for me like your French mother.

Ronny: Mortal, heed me as I literally drown out your words via an ocean of hurt.

Elmer: Huey’s mom :) would know  :) a thing or two about that :). Hey, Huey, look to your right, I think I can see Monica from here! Smile and wave!

Huey: The line is breaking up—sounds—gargling?—can’t hear—

Elmer: Remember, demon, that with but a smile you summon meeeee!

I was actually really disappointed this Independence Day. At the local "celebration," during the fireworks show, the music had so SO many problems, sure, but my biggest beef was how often "freedom" came up.

"They died for our freedom" "Freedom for everybody" and on and on and really? Freedom from what? *

We've already been trying so hard to give freedoms to everybody: freedom from systemic violence and racism. Freedom from abuse and poverty. Freedom to have equal access.

But this year it hit extra hard because we just had a big freedom taken away. At least half the people in the United States no longer have the freedom of bodily autonomy. They are no longer free to make their own choice about their own body.

Doesn't that just sit wrong? Our federal government up and said "We are giving state governments the right to decide how much you control your own body." It's... vile. I'm horrified. It doesn't matter how many states might go on to protect abortion access, as far as I'm concerned, because the highest judges in this country decided that our living, breathing bodies can be regulated.

Bodies should not be regulated.

Do I need to say that again?

BODIES SHOULD NOT BE REGULATED!

I've seen people on all sides go up and down the arguments of the fetus' bodily autonomy, but I mean like... a bundle of cells doesn't even have a brain yet. It cannot make choices. It cannot communicate. It can't even survive outside the parent body. I'm sorry, I really do hate extinguishing potential and opportunity, but this just isn't a solid argument.

Where a person can decide what happens to their body, they should not have a government interfering in that decision.

You don't usually get to decide if you're going to be in a car crash, or develop cancer, or have the world go to war around you. There are some things that are simply outside our personal control. If I could make the choice to end the war in Ukraine? Done. If I could make the choice to feed every hungry person? Fuckin done.

I can't do that. These are problems that involve more than my own body. I can't choose for someone else what they do with theirs, and my own one body is not enough to solve problems of that magnitude.

If only, am I right?

I'll admit to my privilege: I'm in a respectful and monogamous relationship with a partner who cannot get me pregnant, and on top of that I live in a pretty liberal state. I am unlikely to directly suffer the consequences of government interference.

But my daughter might. My friends might. I have family in several of those states with trigger laws, and they might.

This sucks. This sucks so much that I had to make a post about it, and even so I can barely find the words to describe just how much this sucks.

#freedom #roe vs. wade #reproductive rights #abortion access #body autonomy #government interference #resistance to recognizing rights is one thing #still sucks #but to take away a right? #When we've had generations with it? #Just gonna roll us back like a computer? #Windows 95 maybe? #also note #*freedom from communism/socialism/healthcare I guess #*freedom to be ruled by rich capitalists #* with heavily ironic quote marks around it

On May 19 Sgt. Michael Kunovich deemed him suspicious while outside the Super 8 motel parking lot. Aguilar Mendez was sitting down eating but started to walk away when the officer approached in his patrol vehicle. Kunovich began to question him, but Aguilar Mendez couldn't understand him or communicate well and repeated that he was sorry. That's when Kunovich decided to search him, and Aguilar Mendez resisted. Two other deputies arrived to assist in taking the 5-foot-4, 115-pound teen to the ground as Kunovich repeatedly stunned him with his taser, all seen on body-worn camera video. Aguilar Mendez can be heard screaming for his family and is seen trying to gain control of the taser as the officers note in the video. Toward the end of the 6-minute scuffle, the deputies saw that their handcuffed suspect had a small folding knife and disarmed him. Kunovich collapsed a short time later in medical distress and died at the hospital, the Sheriff's Office said. Aguilar Mendez, who came here from Guatemala, was staying with other farmworkers at the hotel. He is being detained without bail, which is the subject of another hearing as yet to be decided. (source)

I'm going to need you all to start spreading awareness about this case and sign the petition. I'm a 5'4 woman and I weigh more than him. He's only 18, indigenous and doesn't understand English nor Spanish really. I can't imagine how confused and scared he was. Tased 6 times and apologizing repeatedly and calling out for his family... he is not responsible for the police officer's death. The fact he's been held for 8 months without bail is disgusting.

Virgilio looks so small, sad and defeated in all of the images I've seen of him.
