one line in trimax that's always stuck with me is from chapter 65, right after wolfwood's death. when vash is sticking the punisher by his grave and he says "it was part of his life". that phrasing is so interesting to me. the neutrality of it is one thing that gets me, i think. it was part of his life. for better or worse, whatever it was, the punisher was wolfwood's.

It's pretty easy to think that the punisher might represent violence, the eye of michael, the role of assassin that was forced onto wolfwood, the loss of childhood. but it's not really presented that way, not overtly anyways. we never see wolfwood shun the punisher, he's not conflicted by his use of it. he never considers abandoning it for some other weapon. it's his weapon. he doesn't discard it when he eventually decides to take a more vash-like approach and actually let people live. he pretty easily accepts it as his own, a tool he can use. (to be fair, at least part of that is probably because the punisher is a very good gun.)

the punisher can still represent the harsher aspects of wolfwood's character, the violence he's committed, that he's capable of. that's an important part of his life! and the idea of it as representative of his violent adolescence, childhood that was stripped away, goes along with this - it's literally a cross to bear. but besides showing his past as a burden, i think of the punisher as being a cross of responsibility. when you have a gun you have power, agency - you have a responsibility to make a choice. that's what wolfwood tells vash in chapter 4.

the ability to take a life, the burden of it, is literally his cross to bear. that ability - and that responsibility - was given to him by the eom, literally in terms of the gun, and in terms of his skills. but the eye doesn't think twice about killing people. for them it's not really a choice, a responsibility, it's just a given. but wolfwood can't accept that. he's constantly considering the choices he makes.

so the punisher isn't only a symbol of the eye of michael, of the path that he was forced onto. it's also a way of expressing autonomy. the eye gave wolfwood the gun, but he decides how to use it and what it means. for much of the story wolfwood struggles to decide what to do, he's a very conflicted character. but eventually he resolves to use it against chapel, against knives, to help vash, and protect the orphanage. the gun gives him agency.

so the punisher was part of his life. it was the tool that he used to commit acts of violence, acts that he was forced into, but also the tool he used to break free.

it's heavy for vash, too. he's not exempt from that idea, the idea of responsibility. as wolfwood said much earlier in the story, vash has always been able to sidestep the question of "what do i choose?", because he's only ever given himself one option - everybody lives. and he's always succeeded. but as wolfwood says, "the day will come when you'll have to choose". one day, it's not going to work.

and of course the story progresses, the stakes ramp up, and vash learns more, goes through more, and is pushed to his limits. i think by this point, by wolfwood's death, and maybe because of it, vash has realized that he might have to make that difficult choice in the near future. that's one reason why he wants to "do him proud". he has a lot of reasons to say this of course - to not let wolfwood's sacrifice go to waste, for example. but if we're thinking of the cross as responsibility, then vash is saying he doesn't want to forget the lessons he learned because of wolfwood. wolfwood has always grappled with responsibility, with what the right thing to do is. and the right thing is often not easy. vash hopes that when the times comes for him to make a choice, he'll make a good one, one that does right by wolfwood's memory.

#trigun #trigun maximum #vash the stampede #trigun meta #trigun analysis #i have another post in my drafts abt wolfwood and autonomy so theres some stuff im not getting into but stay tuned #i hope this makes sense...the whole it was part of his life thing...it gets me for some reason #this is just me trying to articulate why #hopefully what im saying isnt too obvious and is actually insightful #this whole post was inspired by one of my art history classes #we were talking abt some of betye saars works and my prof mentioned the idea of weapons as symbolic of power and agency #so ofc i had to apply that to trigun #at that point i was only thinking of the punisher as 'eom = bad' but that just didnt feel right #so then guns...agency...it all came together #seems obvious in hindsight but i just didnt realize #too hung up on guns as violence and violence is bad #but obviously it's more than that #.lieii #.lieii txt #nicholas d. wolfwood #i just realized how long this post is uh sorry guys #i may have repeated myself too much with this one hopefully it's still legible #take a shot everytime i use the word agency or choice in this post #trimax spoilers

this is what would happen if manuel ever came out to dante probably like 10 mins later

#he would mass text the whole school american shows style #no but let's get serious for a sec in tags #the show has a massive problem with outing throughout both seasons #but i am glad they kinda acknowledged that with simone telling mimmo it isn't right #and that he wanted to be the one to tell him so hopefully this will get touched on in the next episode #it is borderline horrific and irresponsible to show outing queer people as something not as serious idgaf if it's a rai show or whatever #not to mention how badly treated simone is by ofc ernesto and the other boys who beat him up but also dante #who is more concerned abt ernesto than his own son srsly wtf was that knee tap hug your child??? #ugh he is seriously one of my least favorite characters even if he is an entertaining character #rant = over #un professore #un professore 2 #dante balestra #simone balestra #manuel ferro #simone x manuel #simuel #un prof

[ulircursed]

Five months (?) ago…

Each crash of waves against the docks sent a fresh jolt of anxiety through his core, and yet Andrei forced himself to take step after step closer to his destination. Truthfully, the mere thought of being on a ship once more was nauseating to consider, and yet…

One more step. Another. The waves roared their warning. Another step.

He had to do this. The familiar, unfriendly faces roaming the halls of the monastery had increased, as of late, a neverending reminder of the reality he lived in. He’d once attempted to lull himself into believing there was peace for him in this land, an understanding with his family, in a land where duty did not bid him to make the choices he did.

How foolish. There was no escaping the past.

(He’d wanted to remain in the illusion.)

That was not the problem. The problem was – nails bit painfully into the flesh of his palms, until he shook himself out of the memory of Edain, weakened, lying against her cot, looking up at him with a fondness he should’ve lost claim to the moment that decision had ever entered his mind. He hadn’t dared ask what she would’ve chosen, if he hadn’t attempted to take the choice from her entirely. He had a feeling he knew what the answer would be.

Another mistake, false heir.

Andrei reached the docks, legs steering defiantly towards the ship bound for his destination even as every exhale through gritted teeth became painful. Here he was, attempting to fix a mistake. Returning to the place he had come from. A feat that, if the word of so many he’d spoken to could be trusted, was entirely possible, even with the obviously different circumstances that had brought each of them here.

He wasn’t certain what year he would be returning to. Asking would get him nowhere, and… if he didn’t know, then perhaps he’d allow himself to hope that he could truly get that chance. If, by some divine will, he could travel against the flow of time, perhaps he could rectify at least one single mistake in his life. Even just one, among countless.

(Lady Sister. Father. Yngvi.)

And even if he could not… even if all he’d managed was to be thrown into the future, the one from whence Patricia came…

There was at least one he’d failed in that time too, was there not? One without a mark, born and discarded in the foolish pursuit of some proof of his worth.

He could attempt to fix that mistake as well.

The plank leading to the ship creaked and swayed in the breeze, enough to hide the tremble in Andrei’s steps.

Focus. This had to be done. He reached out for balance as he stepped onto the ship.

The world dissolved.

The point of no return

Pain, a familiar, haunting echo, descended upon him the moment he opened his eyes. A dark sky above, no moon or stars in sight. His heartbeat was slowing, each thrum accompanied by the distinctly unpleasant feeling of his lifeblood leaking into the earth below.

Movement, at the edge of his vision, and then, a face –

Ah.

His eyes slip shut, life escaping too fast for surprise to register.

…Or perhaps he shouldn’t have been surprised. He didn’t deserve a second chance, anyway.

(Though. He’d forgotten the expression on Brigid’s face when she’d looked upon his dying form. At least, at least, he’d been able to see it again.)

Then, nothing.

Present day

Nothing, except the feeling of resignation as Andrei’s eyes open to the now-familiar landscape, at the foot of the path leading towards the monastery looming in the distance. Of course.

There is no turning back time, nor rectifying his mistakes. To believe otherwise is merely a fool's wish.

(He still wanted–)

A trembling hand finds its grip around polished wood – Andrei looks down. His Brave Bow. It hadn't been with him last time, the thought dimly registers in his mind. His wounds don't hurt nearly as much either.

Blessings, perhaps, or just another grim reminder. That there is no other place for him, anymore.

He takes a step, then another.

A return, to where he belongs.

#➵ taking the reins (drabble) #local bow man returns! i immediately gift him with a bad time #only the best for my boy ofc #this is read like something of a fever dream #for context my ic reasoning for his departure is guilt over the horrible choice he made during kke so thank u prof python #for making him see reason (???) and make better choices (no)

What is the difference between a religion and a cult?

honestly how accepted they are by society

#but don't take my answer too seriously i do not study religion and cults and do not actually know how sociologists or academics of religion #go about defining these things #i know a touch on how sociologists understand religion thru durkheim and marx but im geninuely not the one to ask sorry #like if u want a serious answer i only can speak more on classical ideas of religion not necessarily how its understood today :( #i wanted to take a soc of religion class but he stopped teaching it my prof would probably know 😭 hes area is soc of religion lmao #but ofc im sure psychologists may have different and interesting answers for you too

this is an old article and maybe old news to some but it’s very interesting in terms of examining the history of the us-israel relationship and how they’ve been working together to terrorize people for forever….

#my prof mentioned this in class yesterday and it’s something that i knew vaguely about #but hadn’t looked into too much at the time #but it’s interesting and horrifying to look back on it now esp with how this has been going on for so long #and the atrocities by israel mentioned in the article have been public knowledge for a long time #with widespread ramifications but people are still finding ways to justify their state #and ofc the atrocities by the us and the way that they’ve been walking hand in hand for a longggg time #idk how people can deny that both the us and israel are horrific colonial states if they look at it as a pattern . but ofc they still bend #over backwards to justify both #and the relationship that they have with each other as mutually beneficial arms of imperialism

Having a masterpost of information go viral is a little like being in customer service in terms contending with illiteracy and the level of sheer infuriation.

Please for the love of all that is holy, go in the notes of a post before reblogging it. It is the most rudimentary form of accountability check there is. All the answers to your questions and updates and counter-arguments/info is right there in the reply section, usually within a few replies of both the oldest and newest. And especially reblog masterlists and information posts from the source because they're constantly being fact-checked, edited and updated. This is the peer-review website. Look at the reviews of your goddamn peers.

#i'm sorry but it's been five fucking months of this and that thing took a LOT of work #every time i see the oldest most unvetted version that I took down within like a day still doing the rounds i lose years of my life #it's not really my fault. the first list was just a cut and paste of my decolonial prof's google doc. ofc i trusted her #now i fucking do not. it took until now to realize she's a neoliberal-ass respectability politicking NRI idiot just like the rest of them #i trust like. three israelis to actually be anti zionists. and barely any westerners or whites #so yeah that list is basically me removing and replacing sources and losing all my faith in humanity on a daily basis. it is v e t t e d #and people can't so much as take a look at the replies. aaaaaaaaarrgghhhh #anyway just listen to palestinians #knee of huss #anti zionist #free palestine

cuiviénen ot3 hcs

For @skaelds primarily (add ur own!) with special mention for @elentarial

Main what ifs: Fëanor had two dads; or, Elwë escapes Nan Elmoth and reaches Valinor again.

Before Oromë found the Eldar, the elves already had quite the society and culture by Cuiviénen. They grouped themselves according to their 'tribe' or kindred, and headed by the very first of the Unbegotten. Their central government was a council consisting of the Unbegotten, which decided things on a majority vote.

Imin liked to think himself the leader of everybody else, but then he got lost in the dark when he went foraging for some mushrooms and was replaced in the council with his son and daughter-in-law. (There were some stories that said Imin's companions specifically left him to be taken; he had become such an unpopular leader at some point in time).

Elves could take a maximum of two spouses during their very early days; they mated early and begot as many children as they could, to stabilize their numbers against the disappearances and fell creatures that hunted them outside of their settlements.

Many elves though, still chose to have one spouse only, and had as many children as they could from said spouse.

No elf forced themselves on another elf who was already wed.

The courtship was primitive; en elf brought gifts of use to his/her intended spouse (food or hunting implements, cloth for clothing, implements for building homes), and if the intended partner was interested enough, then they sought out a private place and moment and laid together. If the Bond held, then they were wed; if not, they were not meant to be together.

Children was the primary objective of wedding others.

An elven couple could have up to six children per pair; a full family with two spouses could have a maximum of twelve children.

Finwë was the third child of his parents. He had two other older siblings who got lost in the dark.

Elwë was the eldest of his three siblings. He was from the second spouse of his mother. All the children of his mother's first spouse (and the first spouse) stayed in Cuiviénen and became Avari.

Miriel was the fourth daughter in a brood of six, born with a frail hröa, but with great talent in the making of fine things, be they delicate, primitive jewelry or embroidering cloths.

Finwë was a very popular elf and had droves of suitors. One of the strongest candidates for his coveted choice (being a direct descendant of the Noldor's ancestors, Tatä and Tatië) was an elleth who gave him a year's worth of harvest (with honeycombs) and an ellon who gave him two goats.

However Finwë chose to pursue Elwë instead. Elwë rejected him at first (since reproduction was the primary aim of the elves at that time).

Finwë, who had also been eyeing Miriel for some time (she was his childhood friend alongside Elwe and the three of them grew up together), weds her first.

It is Miriel who convinced Elwe to accept Finwe and her suit for his hand.

Their homestead was Elwe's place by the lakeside. He provided for them through fishing and hunting, while Finwe provided by raising crops, foraging and hunting. Miriel tended the homestead and wove cloths and offered her delicate handiwork to repair things.

Because of Miriel's unusually frail hröa, the three of them refrained from begetting children at that time.

Oromë finds the Eldar.

Unsure what to do with their 'strange' society in addition to legitimate concerns about the elves, Oromë consults the Valar sitting at Mahanaxar, and it is decided to bring them into Aman.

Ingwe, Finwe and Elwe were chosen as ambassadors. Miriel was entrusted to Elwe's brothers Olwe and Elmo to be watched over by them while they were away.

Finwe wanted the promise of Valinor not so much for himself and Elwe, but for Miriel. Both had hoped that in the Undying Lands, Miriel could find renewed strength and purpose.

The Great Journey begins.

Many elves, especially the First Ones, refuse the summons, instead choosing the dangerous way of life in the Hither Lands than the too-good-to-be-true promise of Valinor.

Elwe is a very vocal leader against Orome's frequent departures, and insisted the Vala leave behind some measure of security for the Eldar. This is why the five Maiar guardians (including Melian, Olorin and Curumo) are sent to accompany the Eldar during the great journey.

Manwe was greatly disturbed by what Orome told him about the primitive Eldarin culture. It was determined by the Valar to formulate certain societal rules in order to pre-empt potential chaos in Valinor with regard to some of the elves' way of life.

Because the Teleri were the greater number of people and prone to distraction and dawdling, Finwe, Elwe and Miriel had to decide to split up. The Noldor and Vanyar go ahead first while Elwe and his brothers wrangle their people.

Melian attempts to enchant Elwe in Nan Elmoth. Elwe, already having doubts because of Orome's frequent departures, manages to evade her sorcery and escapes the forest. He is still delayed by a hundred years, however.

The Teleri finally cross the Great Sea. This time, Osse attempts to delay Elwe. Elwe is more insistent about his refusal and wants nothing else but to rejoin Finwe and Miriel.

Osse, wrathful at being rejected, sinks Elwe's boat.

Elwe is the only elf to have swam all the way across the Great Sea and reached Tol Eressea as a half-elf, half-kelp creature.

The Teleri stay mainly at Eressea, with Avallone as their capital. Alqualonde is nothing more than an important port town to trade with the Noldor and Vanyar.

Elwe abdicates to Olwe and Olwe becomes the sole ruler of the Teleri.

Elwe rejoins Finwe and Miriel in Tirion.

Feanor is born, but Miriel still gets tired of living.

Friction between Elwe and Finwe, because Finwe desires greatly to remarry for more children. Elwe tries his hardest to support along Feanor and Finwe both.

Finwe eventually remarries to Indis, but with Elwe's caveat that she take their unusual family as they are found.
