Thaniel was my friend also. I played with him, grew up while he stayed the same. He made me who I am today, and then he was ripped away from me, same as for you. But you need not be alone any longer. You need not invent friends. Thaniel is back. He is waiting for you.

The trumpets bring the angels, but they never came, and no one let them in 'cause they didn't know my name. I know I keep my feelings so tucked away, just another day spent hoping we don't fall apart- So drop a bomb on all the things we dreamed about

#i am my own muse fucking. song of all time. my god #like these lyrics are so. the bridge is SOO??? lets twist the knife like we did last summer. i need to kill myself! #txt #fob #fall out boy #so much (for) stardust #i am my own muse #p: 100

"He waited for the moment when he felt it was right. He wanted to do it for years really. I think it’s out of envy and anger. But I don't think it was something that he particularly enjoyed doing it. He didn't want to talk anymore because he knew Juan could change his mind. It was hard for Cesare to kill his brother." ― François Arnaud.

#:( #david oakes: “juan apologizes to his brother and gives his heart to him and he still gets stabbed and thrown off a bridge.” #“if cesare had listened to what juan was saying...he wouldn't have gone through with the act of killing his little brother” #i just love how both david and françois agree on the same thing...interesting #that being said...i just think it's so hypocritical how he said that they're borgias and they never forgive- #then 5 mins later he was begging for rodrigo to grant him his forgiveness like hello?? #those final words “we're borgias. we never forgive” right after juan openly forgave cesare ... the last words juan ever heard #that's so cruel rip especially when juan's character core is how he struggles from insecurities and if he's a true borgia or not #it saddens me how juan was so cheerful and fun-loving the he slowly spiraled into darkness by everyone's treatment of him #and this part is so cold because cesare is suppposed to be the older brother you know? but oh well #juan borgia #david oakes #cesare borgia #the borgias #theborgiasedit #periodedits #perioddramaedit #juan and cesare #by jen

#for context. a few weeks back i was playing on a fast respawn 2fort server #mostly because i just wanted to just. hang out somewhere without any real serious gameplay happening #that said. for the first few hours i was playing on there. was mostly playing gunslinger engineer and detonator pyro #and we had a good push up into their base but were stuck just at the entrance. with a heavy hold from the enemy team #but after a while. i just kinda got bored and wanted to just fuck about with the taunts and loadouts i had #first thing i did was play pyro and do the cheers taunt before getting on my bike and swerving a bunch as i drove #but i dont think anyone could tell thats what i was doing #so after a bit i just changed to scout. and started just riding my skateboard #(i also did the drinking and riding bit a few times but i eventually just ended up skateboarding around) #(one bit being me on the top of the bridge. doing the cheers taunt. getting on my board. and then skating off the bridge and killbinding) #so at some point. i kept getting stuck in place for some reason. like speficially on bumpy ground or... in the air #and the moment i got stuck in the air (for 30+ seconds mind you) i was just like ''my quantum board technique'' #and from there. i just acted as if i was playing the newest Pro Skater game #saying stuff like ''i have to do manual ollie combo for 150000000 points'' #or like ''i have to find grindrails on this level'' #eventually found my way into the sewers and said something like ''IVE FOUND THE HALF PIPES'' #before saying like ''man they really screwed up the physics since the last game'' #a soldier on the other team was trying to find me the whole time saying ''wheres tony hawk'' #specifically because he had a tony hawk avatar. and i only realized after he said something about it #anyway. after all that i skateboarded into a minisentry and died #and my last message was supposed to be ''my combo has ended'' but i ended up typing 'bombo' #and it made me laugh SO hard i couldnt backspace. and added on with ''my sweet bombo'' #and then i left because i had nothing more to do there. my bombo had ended and i had to move on.

on reflection, i think there's a symmetry to, say, doctors who are willing to refer patients to osteopaths or other ""holistic"" healthcare providers and the susceptibility of engineers to certain kinds of crankdom (of the "i-disproved-relativity-in-my-garage" type). both are forms of scientific training of a sort, but they're heavily outcome-focused and not theoretically focused. in large part, this is good! you do not as a doctor need to have a robust theoretical defense of every treatment you provide to patients, and it would be impossible to do so, because medicine is a huge and complicated subject. you do not, as an engineer, need to have a subtle grasp of theoretical physics to build a bridge; you just need to know what the latest developments in bridge-building are.

but it means in both cases you can have people who are skilled in their field, or who even excel, but who don't understand very well why certain techniques work. and in the case of alt medicine, where there has been considerable work to try to obfuscate or deceive people on how shaky the theoretical basis for their techniques are (stuff that literally if you remember your high-school physics and biology at all will make you go, "wait, there is no plausible mechanism for this, that's not how any of this works"), doctors who do not have time to read studies on RCT trials of every type of medicine they have ever heard of will blithely recommend stuff to patients that's actually complete horseshit, especially if the culture around them has been normalizing that woo as part of "holistic" therapy for the last hundred years, spurred on by alternative medicine practitioners and a public with a fear of needles and ~chemicals~ that medical practitioners have not done enough to allay.

it does not help that medicine only emerged very recently from being about 99% bullshit. like maybe at the end of the 19th century at best medicine was starting to be put on a broad-based empirical and theoretical footing--before that it's truly insane the stuff that wasn't just considered perfectly normal medical practice, but was considered serious Science. i mean, this is why we developed double-blind studies in the first place--because theoretical explanations of medical treatments are still necessarily often secondary to the process of finding ones that actually work, so we need really robust mechanisms to avoid confirmation bias or outright charlatanry. and while mainstream medicine is far from perfect in this respect, "alternative medicine" is all far, far worse.

#imagine if bridge-building was still trial and error half the time #like medieval cathedral building #that's probably not very fair to medicine #like we've gotten so much better in just the last seventy years #at targeted medical research #but still sometimes we develop new treatments #and we're like 'idk why this works but i'm pretty sure it does' #psychology still feels like it's full of individual practitioners with idiosyncratic theories #inventing therapies in an ad-hoc way #like ye olde 19th century doctors #but psychology is still theoretically very weak #so that kinda makes sense to me

literally just realised that "william the gonnagle", terry pratchett's scottish bard character who defeats his enemies by reciting poetry at them, is a reference to "william mcgonagall", often hailed as the worst poet in the english language (or indeed any language). it has taken me a full two decades to understand this joke. discworld truly is the gift that never stops giving

#i must have read the wee free men upwards of twenty times and never got it #and then last week i was reading 'the tay bridge disaster' (mcgonagall's most famous Bad Poem) and i was like. hang on. OH FUCK.

Honestly, your comics about the Emperor have really helped me parse my own complicated feelings about him. Because like, it's not as if I didn't want to trust him and find that good in him. There were times when I felt like I could see it. But as I played more, I just felt like that trust wasn't truly reciprocated.

Anyway, apologies for the rambling. Your art and comics are awesome, and Greygold is great.

I've been trying to think how to respond to this because I can RELATE but in a - beyond constructively sophisticated sounding words- way huar.

Because without -ANY- kind of hindsight, Zip Zilch NADA, this game is really REALLY good (OH SO GOOD) at portraying the Emperor as a very complicated and extremely-hard-to-trust character.

You are absolutely valid in feeling conflicted and confused with all the uncertain-in-between inner conflicts for this dingus of a squid.

Unlike Greygold, I, too, was absolutely struggling to find some form of strong evidence, validation, reassurance, SOMETHING FOOL-PROOF, to fully trust this illithid during the entire playthrough.

If it weren't for the bloodhound hunting need to find all that is lore in this game, BOY WOULD IT HAVE ALMOST BEEN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TRUST THIS SQUID AT ALL for me. Those lil sneaky paper trail crumbs of 'emps just doing it's best' are what gave me enough hope to trust in spite of the overwhelming counter-lore, doubts, and Emps' terrible tact continuously just NOT HELPING IT'S CASE.

but Trust. Trust is, I suppose, the key theme for this squid. Classic 'ultimately down to your core values on what you would do with the most trust-issue-y morally grey squid to ever squid this damn squid game'.

Or as friggin' Withers likes to say: What is the value of one life to you? (friggin' Withers, man)

#BUT AYE YOU'RE VALID AND RAMBLINGS ARE APPRECIATED AND ENJOYED AND I AM ALWAYS HUMBLED TO BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO THEM #I JUST WISH I COULD GIVE BETTER SOUNDING WISDOM OR VALIDATION BACK AHA #ANYWAY I'm glad you like the comics and greygold and I wish you best of luck with the squid-dingus YOU ARE TOO KIND #There truly was no easy obvious comforting answer to know if the emperor was chill or not. #sometimes forging friendships takes more than managing approval and disapproval #Sometimes you're gonna have to stubbornly fight tooth and nail and flip every last furniture to fortify that friendship #SOMETIMES YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO BUILD THE ENTIRE BRIDGE YOURSELF INSTEAD OF MEETING HALF WAY WITH SOME DINGUS FRIENDSHIPS #IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THEY'RE WORTH IT

Do you have a favorite Elvis song? Or an album?👀👀

Why oh why would you ask me such an impossible question !

If you're twisting my arm.......... I'd say American Trilogy. The last minute of his 'Aloha' rendition of it never fails to give me chills. There really is no word to describe it other than EPIC.

#his truth is maaaaaarching ooooooooon #trashtalk #anonymous #Honorable Mentions : Bridge Over Troubled Water and How Great Thou Art (the 70s version) #Fans who think he peaked in the 50s are kidding themselves #His voice matured into something so beautiful and POWERFUL. Especially by the 70s #Like even his last (documented) 1977 concert...where he's swaying on his feet...delirious...basically dying onstage...he sounds incredible. #The music within his heart remained unscathed by the physical and mental strain he was enduring daily by that point #and I think that's beautiful ( if not very bittersweet ) #we watched Christmas at Graceland so forgive me if I'm deep in my Elvis Feels tonight lol #On a lighter note : I thought Posty totally killed Devil In Disguise #I LOL'd when he leapt into the pool ( I feel like that was totally unplanned. But how are you Not going to dive into the Graceland pool )

Me @ Vessel:

Please play The Apparition live dude. That would be so fun and sexy of you bro. What a silly fun idea haha. It's not like I'm obsessed or anything. Please Mr. Token, I'm on my hands and knees. I'll be so normal about it, I swear.

#right there on my ST top 5 #everytime i get destroyed by THAT chorus #Vessel saying “my dear” like that does things to me you don't get understand #and i just KNOW the Vesselettes would absolutely smash that little bridge between the chorus and the last “so let's make (...)” #i need it real bad #sleep token

I love that minato just yeets tori at the problem, no context, no warning, nothing. 😂

you think you learning hiraishin automatically gets you an s-rank and a flle onsight order? WRONG it just gets you yeeted at so many problems

#if it weren't kakashi and/or naruto minato would have just been like 'tough shit' and ordered them home #(WELL if it had been a bunch of OTHER baby genin he would have nice about it) #but how could he possibly tell his son no you can't help the bridge guy :( what kind of parent doesnt teach their kid 2 help #and then he was like 'but they need another adult. who can i send last minute that i don't need for something else. I KNOW' #minato: hey you thrive under chaos with vague directions #tori: (paying for her convenience store lunch) um wtf? #reborn au

[beanghostprincess]

if you like ling and greed the most… have you perhaps considered… shipping greedling? 👀

Bold of you to assume I don't ship whatever the fuck Greed x Ling x Ed have going on at the same time

#there is just something about the 'dude that takes over your body that turns out is extremely lonely and just wants love' trope #believe me i ship them believe me very hard #greed was too hot to die it's a loss for the bisexual community (the bisexual community being ling and ed) #ed saying he knows ling is in there. ed telling greed to become allies. dude be pulling both he doesn't even think about it huh #greed is just so gay for these two i can't even put it into words maybe what he truly needed were friends and 2 boyfriends #and ling is so in love with them too like look me in the eyes and tell me his last scene with greed wasn't extremely romantic #jumping off a bridge honestly these three live in my mind rent free #fmab #greedling #edling #edgreed #?? i am guessing that's the ship name i am new here okay
