How does one assess the impact of transitional justice mechanisms in post-genocide societies?

Transitional justice mechanisms play a crucial role in post-genocide societies by addressing past atrocities, promoting accountability, and fostering reconciliation. Assessing the impact of these mechanisms is essential to understand their effectiveness in healing divided communities and preventing future conflicts. This article explores how one can assess the impact of transitional justice…

“adrien wasn’t bothered by chloe’s behavior until it affected him” okay first of all it’s literally affected him since origins because it impacted the assumptions his classmates made about him but okay. i’ll grant that his disapproval of her has gotten harsher as it has hit him closer to the heart.

BUT i would like to offer an alternative perspective: this is the first time that adrien has seen chloe’s actions cause long term damage. while hawkmoth is at large, chloe’s actions usually lead to someone being akumatized - a big consequence, yes, but one where the damage is fixed with the toss of a lucky charm and some catharsis or opportunity for growth for the victim. yes, chloe hurts people and she’s mean and it’s wrong, and adrien never approves of how she treats people, but at the end of the day he’s willing to give her another chance after the day is saved. tomorrow is a new day full of possibilities and chloe can try again to be a good person, because the mess she made today was cleaned up.

this is the first time adrien has seen the way chloe’s actions continue to cause harm, months and years after the fact. this is the first chance he’s had to condemn her not for the abstract idea of how one should treat other people or the short term consequence of an akuma, but for causing lasting psychological harm to someone that doesn’t go away even after the akuma is defeated or they learn something about themselves or they get support and love from their friends. because even after all that, marinette still can’t take adrien’s hand. what chloe and kim did is burned into her psyche in a way she can’t easily heal from. and this is the first time adrien has really seen that, has seen that chloe isn’t just mean but causes lasting damage to people’s spirits. so i think yes, he reacts this way because it’s his girlfriend and it’s impacting his relationship with her, but he also reacts this way because he’s finally able to see the long term consequences of her actions in a concrete way.

#and i hope this will help him make some connections regarding how some other people’s cruelty can have long term effects #*cough cough* gabriel #and how maybe each missing dinner isn’t just an isolated instance of bad behavior that gabe can recover from #but something that has had a long term impact on adrien and his own ability to form relationships #please let him make that connection #miraculous ladybug #ml derision

One thing i like about the Happy handwavey ending for the specials is that like, we've done tradgedy. Been there done it to death.

S1-4 ended in all sorts of tradgedy. As pointed in the puppet show, s5-10 were alllllll about tradgedy, with the era's ending being an acceptance of it. Hell one of my personal issues with s11-13 is that it felt like they were rehashing tradgedy we'd already seen.

But I've been watching some 3rd & 4th Doctor era recently. They don't have any sad kicked puppy energy but still have such good stories! They're wanderer who knows who they are and enjoys the hell outta their messed up life! They have moments of seriousness and of tradgedy. But it doesn't overcast the narrative like it overwhelmingly has in NuWho. They were a much more static character and it worked!!

Yes the handwavey means to get that clean slate were a bit silly (i wish the episode had an extra 30 minutes run time to develop). But GOD we need a breath of fresh air from the constant trauma or it'll get repetitive and unimpactful

If 15 does end up having tragedy I'll be down for that too! But if not? It'll be a fun change of pace the show kinda desperately needs

#let the doctor!! be a silly!! guy in space sometimes!! #we can come back to the long term impacting tradgedy soon!! let him have to episode by episode tradgedy for a bit!! #doctor who #dw spoilers #15th doctor #ncuti gatwa #doctor who 60th anniversary #the giggle

#1) i just think thematically it wouldve been more impactful if there had been long term consequences of making that sacrifice to save falin #rather than it just being easily fixed. it kinda took some of the impact away #2) PHYSICALLY DISABLED LAIOS NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW #alex speaks #dungeon meshi #laios touden

You know I'm thinking about it, and I don't know if we're really considering the impacts of Malleus' actions on the people who are asleep enough. Obviously they have a right to be pissed, and some likely will be pissed, but I'm thinking of other responses too.

For example—imagine you got a taste of everything that you wanted out of life. The ideal world, where everything is going as planned and nothing seems wrong. You're not sick, let's say. Or you have lost loved ones back. Or your stress is non-existent.

Then you get wrenched out of that. Turns out that entire world was nothing but a dream/illusion, and there is no way for you to ever get that back again. Would that not emotionally decimate some people? Especially those seeing lost loved ones again, or other severely impactful life events. Like not only would it cause fury, but the absolute despair that Malleus' actions can cause that can likely turn into long standing mental health crisis in some individuals is absolutely mind boggling.

He's doing this because he thinks he's giving everyone a gift, when really, he's setting them up for some of the lowest pits they can fall into.

#twst spoilers #i just be rotating the long term impacts of his actions in my brain #not only on a broader societal spectrum but individually as well #like imagine seeing your deceased mother again or something #not everyone has the strength of character to come back from that #man this is an unintentional cruelty taken to a new level #malleus draconia #twst #twst analysis

Oddly enough, in terms of love languages, I don't think Diluc would have physical touch ranked at the bottom.

#genshin impact #diluc #diluc x reader #i'd think he got a lot of physical affection growing up? #so while he tries to keep a distance now i think he'd long for it again if he fell in love #and though he'd strive to be a gentleman i can see him forgetting himself from time to time #catching himself in the act #hurriedly pulling back #he'd crave it #in terms of ranking of the love languages off the top of my head........ #acts of service > gift giving > physical touch > quality time > words of affirmation #at least that's what my gut tells me without any research #some of those may need to trade places #hmmm maybe i'll do a love language ranking for various characters in my free time.... #no promises tho #imo there are two types of love languages: giving and receiving #for receiving physical touch would probably be ranked the highest

The Naked Time is genuinely so good. istg star trek original series is great to study if you want to write good stories...Episodes like this one provide positive examples to strive for. Meanwhile, there are plenty of miserably awkward episodes to watch as counter examples. TV show of all time

#star trek #st: tos #tos #the original series #the naked time #I need to watch TNG's Naked Time episode to compare them #cuz I remember not liking TNG's take on it at all... #or at least it felt dull. Very un-impactful #while the original episode hits HARRRD. #Something something The Naked Time holds itself to the standard of telling a complete story in and of itself (which makes it strong). #Perhaps TNG approaching their episode as a chance for long-term character building kind of screwed them... #but I must rewatch to be certain. #Hm! Fun franchise #my words #analysis

just got caught up with bob's burgers, and so far I'm enjoying season 14 much more than I expected to!

not to say I went into these new episodes assuming I wouldn't like them, but certainly the past few seasons (10–12 for sure) have fallen into a rut where like, there's a handful of episodes that are pretty solid, there's one or two that annoy me enough to skip over on any rewatch, and the majority are deeply neutral. the plots are just okay, the jokes are a little lacking, but the fundamental dynamics are still there, and I like those enough that bob's remains one of my go-to shows to have on in the background, even if I don't feel inspired or compelled enough to engage with the show the way I used to

but season 14 has been an unexpected departure (and actually, I think the back half of 13 as well) — it's funny, because I don't actually think the show is as funny as it used to be, but they're taking bigger swings with the plots in a way that's very rewarding to watch! I don't mind that there are fewer jokes, because I'm invested in the more emotional turns the show is taking

like—holy shit, "the amazing rudy"? a standout from start to finish. and I think a great example of what this season is doing in terms of its emotional arcs, and what I'm glad it's leaning into

I've felt very neutral toward bob's the past couple years, because it's felt so staid. there's an accepted level of consistency that bob's or any other animated sitcom maintains, and I get that, but I think the show really really struggled in its recent seasons with honoring that consistency, roughly maintaining the status quo, while also creating plots that were—and this sounds bad to say—but, plots that were interesting. there were a lot of low stakes, anticlimactic resolutions, unexciting premises—situations where there's not a lot of room for the writing to go, and not a lot for the characters to play off

but what I think this latest season is doing so well is leaning into its history, taking advantage of all the episodes of relationships and interactions and story they've developed to create setups that really fucking land! "the amazing rudy" is a phenomenal episode, but would it have hit as well in season 4 or 5, when we've only met rudy a handful of times? maybe, but I think it's so much more rewarding as this late series entry, when it can pay off all the previous mentions of rudy's home life, his relationship with his dad, his relationship with his—until this ep—unseen mom, his hobbies, his anxieties, his friendship with louise, the role the belchers play in his life—it's so good!!

this season is a couple eps shorter from the strike, but really hoping that the rest of the 14 and what's to come in 15 follows the trend, because it feels like the show is finally starting to figure out its voice and its footing again

#bob's burgers #like I did find the booger wall scene in 'bully-lieve it or not' literally nauseating BUT #the reveal that zeke once bullied a kid for having a lisp was a genuinely surprising and genuinely impactful moment! #and again. it's all about leveraging that history. we've seen over a decade of zeke and jj being ride or die friends #and because of all that established history the bullying reveal was that much more shocking #not to mention how it set up this look of genuine betrayal on jimmy jr.'s face. the show earned all the gravity it gave this moment! #it's great! it's so good!! also my god. don't get me started on fraud of the dead #I think a show that runs this long needs to reinvent itself every so often. because you have to #and I think bob's has struggled with having hit this plateau and floundering a little in terms of deciding on a new voice or direction #but this latest batch? this rules. i'm so into it #kayla for blacklist

Went through my kith and kin tag after that last post and once again lying on my floor thinking about. vex snarling at vax about his judgement being swayed by a pretty face-

(another person vax is brave enough to love, even if its dangerous. looking for the good and the kindness and the humanity among the darkness, trying to bring it forward, let vex experience it, even when it can leave him bleeding)-

and vax snarling at vex about her judgement being swayed by her desperation to be accepted-

(another time vex sees a way to secure safety and security and approval, which is safety and security, in a different form. for her, her and vax and trinket and everything she loves, safe in one place, where they can belong, they can stay)-

and. oogh.

Holding these twins in my hands. squishing them like playdough. one of them fights desperately to find the kindness and good and light even when its a fools errand. leaves himself open and hurt for a little bit of light. if it keeps vex safe, happier. one of them counting and calculating and running and cruel because the world demands it. keeps the counter going and going and does the hard things if it keeps vax whole, and okay. one close range and one long.

they'll hurt each other if it keeps the other whole. they'll gladly get hurt if it keeps the other safe. the world is harsh, and they are surviving. what the fuck. theyre such a fucked up pair. they love each other so much.

#critical role #vex'ahlia #twins meta #spar speaks #vax'ildan #every time i set out to write about just one of them it turns into both- not because they arent rich individual characters #but the kith and kin versions of themselves especially are so intentionally wrapped up in each other and the safety and wellbeing #of the other that even actions that are exclusivelt about them- for them- just them- are irrevocably impacted by their long term goals and #the way they have so inextricably tied their lives and their modes of operation around each other and its So Interesting to pick apart!!! #also because if i dive too deep into vex's desperation and her pose as a cage and a shield in one and the cruelty and regret and constant #calculation. or how easily vax bleeds for love- and how easily he loves. i will scream :) even their flaws are so tied to how used they are #to having the other at their back like vax knowing vex will keep that long term vision and vex being brusque and calculating with her charm #bc vax will probably actually like them. its not swt in stone ofc but theres a default there and it makes me. Yell. #anyway if i ever watch c1 ill probably explode. thats all. #the twins #vex meta #vax meta #my meta #ish #ok sleep time!!! :) #kith and kin

starting to realize that a few years down the line there's gonna be kids in their early teens online talking about how mlp infection aus were their first introduction to fandom/introduced them to their closest friends and stuff like that and when that day comes i'm going to be. so emotional

the way that debbie receives more hate in season 6 that carl does is wild to me… debbie gets pregnant and finds a way to figure out how to raise a baby all by herself and she’s the devil and carl is a racist drug and weapon dealer and he’s just seen as some cool alpha male type

#yes debbie was bad in season 6 #but carl was worse #debbie’s decisions impacted her in the long term but franny saved her #and carl’s actions should have continued to effect him #i only liked the white boy carl era when it was ending after what happened with nick #it’s just wild to me how people act like he didn’t disrespect fiona because that’s one of the things that made everybody hate debbie #because he DEFINITELY was disrespecting her constantly #shameless #debbie gallagher #carl gallagher #shameless season 6

mental heath stuff (not bad just candid)

dunno if i'll regret sharing this just yet, maybe i should have sat on it a little more until i knew exactly if i should share and how much, but parts of me really insist, and so i guess we're going for it

and i word that way because

months of exhausting processing has led me to conclude that I’m a system, so I’m still in the undertaking of cataloging an awful lot of shit into one rolodex. the kicker is i probably have been one for at least 20 years, but everyone got along so well and so cooperatively, like the most well harmonized combining mecha, that is oblivious to the fact it even is one. nobody even needed nametags in here.

…mostly. warning signs were there, it's just some of the issues that come from this sort of thing that did leak through, were hiding under other conditions that already cause similar complications. if you're familiar with the messier mental illnesses and all the ways they start to functionally melt at the edges and trade symptoms in odd places and our understanding of it all is still so half-formed, you'll probably get what i mean. hopefully people following me understand none of this crap works like it tends to get depicted in media

i'm schizophrenic and my mind is a fucking enigma anyway

anyway

then one "new" alter woke up last november in response to an acute straw breaking camel's back moment of abuse at home after enduring way too much for way too long, but the alter is not actually new, is technically one of the oldest, but she's been 'asleep' for like a decade and her point of origin is even older than that obviously this one was SO different and possessed SUCH a different headspace and set of tastes and desired behaviors, and subsequently threw equilibrium off so badly, all the components of the mecha suddenly realized they were components bc now the situation kind of required acknowledging that fact to proceed to even get starting fixing shit.

its like

"who is this weird one who broke everything" "no clue, you guys got any ideas?" "why would we have any ideas you don't, we're all us" "yeah like what do you even mean by You Guys?" "i think they're joking, like, because we're all copies of the same person, like the spongebob bit with the fine dining, they're asking themself rhetorically because it's funny…….. …….we are all the same person right. this is a metaphor. like the spongebob bit…… right….." "why are we not all immediately agreeing" "because before we could all reflexively say yes we realized we all had different definitions of The Same Person we are"

this is a gross oversimplification of course

this was a lot to process for pretty much all parts of me save one (incidentally, not the new one, the new one isn't shocked, but is a crybaby, so they didn't take Existing (Again) (2. Electric Boogaloo) very well. they do not take the prospect of 'going back to sleep' veryy either, though. so we're having to slightly redesign the mecha)

mostly through the worst of it, but among other problems we're still working to repair, this sleeper code alter caused a catastrophic system failure in the ventilation and even though everyone is mostly calmed down now, they can still smell everyone else's scented candles in their personal quarters, which is annoying when some of them have VERY different tastes in scents)

annoying, but not ruinous. fixing the AC is low priority compared to other things

like the pneumonic tube that used to let everyone hot potato information and memories from any time they were the one obliviously in the cockpit, we had a pretty damn good one, it was working so well we didn't know why we were even using it, and assumed its regular but manageable failings were just, natural, or because of some other factor affecting the tubes themselves or potato availability, and not considering most people do not have these potato tubes at all

yes i will probably make some kind of comic to conceptualize and visually externalize this i struggle to feel understood without doodles

also, while typing this post, specifically, tumblr did a fucky wucky, and when i realized i'd made an entire other post in the tags, i went to try to copy/paste them into the post but the nature of the fucky wucky prevented this. i'm really not in the mood to retype all that so it's just a screenshot now

#sporadic warbling #the good news the venn diagram between us all in terms of what we believe in and whats okay to do or not n shit mostly lines up #tho the scented candles thing is actually less trivial than it sounds / impacts QoL more than i'm willing to get into rn but we live #also the memory thing but my memory was bad before and after the fact #its taking so long to fix the potato pipes and i'm tired of manual potato delivery so i'm entering my Fuck the Potatoes era #like well kids i had a presentation prepared but the overhead's broken and i could make you do a worksheet instead #but why not let you just go play outside while the janitor and i fix the overhead. it's not fair the principle took away recess anyway.

I enjoy both genshin and honkai star rail but I feel like people vastly overestimate why hsr is more 'generous'. giving out a free 5 star is great but they would not have done that if the playerbase hadn't declined since it first launched. they're not just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. it's a business decision. and it worked on me, to an extent - i booted up hsr for the first time in months because I wanted dr ratio.

the reason genshin has always had pretty crappy rewards is because they can get away with it. the game blew up without them needing to be generous, so they aren't. I'd like them to give a free 5 star, and I think it's dumb as fuck that they don't have a standard banner character selector like hsr does (I'm coming up on 4 years with no jean), but the hsr devs don't do these things to be nice

while it does drive me mad that hsr has added so many good endgame combat modes while genshin never has, i think it's important to compare the relative effort that goes into both games. genshin requires way more investment. the combat system is far, far more complex and the development of the character animations is a lot more involved. the world design is also way more complex - hsr is nothing in comparison.

I do wish genshin would add proper endgame content, but there's enough going on in genshin that it's not essential. hsr does not have much going for it outside of combat. It's fun in short bursts, but it's never managed to get a grip on me like genshin did when i first played it

my interest in genshin has waned a lot, but that's mostly because I've got so many fucking characters now and my account is really highly invested. there's not the same incentive or need to improve, and I was always going to reach that point eventually. but I do think it's quite telling that genshin was so many people's first gacha game, because it shows that what drew most people to it was not the rewards. it was the features of the game itself. by contrast, I tend to stay interested in hsr only for as long as I'm pulling for characters and getting new stuff, so my enjoyment of the game is a lot shallower

they're fundamentally quite different games and there's a lot they could learn from each other. but I think a lot of people ignore that hsr isn't just....a nicer game with nicer devs or whatever. they're both predatory gachas, they're just relying on different tactics to get their players spending money

#it's the powercreep in hsr that puts me off in the long term #the fact that genshin finds creative ways to keep old characters relevant #or give them synergies with new units #makes a character feel like a good investment #whereas a lot of the time in hsr I'm like hmmm how long until my current dps is powercrept by the Next Great Thing #I fucking wish genshin would add a mode like pure fiction though #genshin impact #honkai star rail

i know that jesse armstrong is more than capable of knowing when to end a series but the way it was announced that season 4 is going to be the last one kind of made me feel like the whole process behind it is a bit sketchy. they only revealed that s4 is the last one only a month before the premiere, even after posting teaser trailers that never even hinted at the season being the last, and even the cast got the news only during the table read for the final episode. the promotion of season 4 has been disappointing especially when compared to season three. while the actors are not the ones writing the show, most of them have been very clear that they could have seen the show go on for another season and their disappointment over the show ending has been clear as day. while an ambiguous ending will be a very fitting end to succession and i am not against it, i am definitely wondering if the decision to finish with season 4 was something that developed during the filming process instead of it being a clear guideline throughout the creative process of season 4.

#succession #idk my biggest complaint is not telling the actors. like i get it that it might have impacted their performance but still #it is their job and definitely a big and meaningful project for all of them. and if they got to know only in january or something??? #at that point there was already teaser trailers coming out and basically no hints of the season being last. ofc i don't know what goes on #behind the scenes but personally i am a bit annoyed sdjhfdsf #i just keep remembering that one quote from jesse where he said that they're gonna keep going as long as it keeps being fun. huh. #maybe i'm just bitter because my favorite show is ending. but i am not a fan of how this season being last has been handled #but i am glad that at least the reviewers think the season is great and i am incredibly excited to see what happens!!! i just wish the #annoucement had given everyone more time to come to terms with the ending #also this has been bothering me for weeks now and i wanted to get this out of my system before the premiere. please enjoy
