A report just came out from a Palestinian hostage saying he was strapped with bombs and sent into a Hamas tunnel, with Israel prepared to blow the tunnel up with his body if fighters were found inside and yet people are still making the “Hamas uses human shields” arguments that have been confirmed to be a myth with no supporting evidence

What I think is so important to learning how to truly appreciate life is learning how to appreciate the creatures and things we've categorized as "disgusting" or "gross."
When I learned to appreciate wasps, I realized how much they just... don't really care about anything, and they're not trying to be an asshole because they're uniquely cruel. If they have any wants, it is to live. Why would I punish that when I also want to live?
This isn't to say you need to fall in love with the creepy crawlies that stalk this world or to love what you cannot, but to recognize that in their arrangement of atoms, they are trying to persevere, and in the end... aren't we all?

The way Brennan played Jack at the end of his talk with Timothy, idk, something something about a boy too clever and too ambitious who was never taken serious, always chased away for his tricks and schemes that were his ways to survive in an unkind land. A Jack who grew up without two loving dads, without Tim who would have found delight in his every trick and scheme, who would've thought him clever, who would have taught him to not run himself ragged for the approval of those who do not know him because all the approval he needed was at home with a father who would always be on his side regardless of guilt or blame. Still too clever, too ambitious for his own sake? Sure, but a Jack who would've died trying to bring fortune to his humble home, not caught in the frontlines of a war of his own making, miserable and angry.
Idk man

Hi there! I love D so much and their route is just <3<3<3. HOWEVER, My crown is not the type to suck up to the nobles, and they seem to be the ones really "preventing" (for lack of a better word) the relationship between D and the Crown... will being a crown that prioritizes the people over the nobility hinder the relationship between D and the Crown? Especially considering the events in ch 11 💀
If anything, it's the opposite!
Like, the nobles and the court and all the social rules attached to being the Crown is definitely an obstacle, but that doesn't change D's feelings for the Crown at all. Those are external circumstances that neither of them can change - and, if anything, a Crown that prioritizes the people will further win D's admiration and strengthen their bond as a result.
If your Crown starts veering into directions that prioritize or enable the noble class of Arsur at the cost of its citizens, however? Now that's a problem, because that's fully within the Crown's control, and something D disagrees with immensely. Pretty much flying into the core of everything they believe and the principles they hold, pretty much.
Each of the LIs already have had opinions on what the Crown has decided in their official capacity as a ruler (such as the choice you make in CH5 regarding the assassination attempt), but they just haven't been very vocal about it yet because the decisions have been smaller scale, less consequential, or without any overt moral slant. It hasn't impacted the relationship much at all yet.
But the further along the story we get, the greater the consequences of political decisions the Crown will have to make, and the more the LIs will have to say about it.
A romancers, for example, have already gotten a preview of this in CH11 if they made a certain choice that drew A's anger...
So, be prepared for that!!
