#this came out of left field

[eighthmelody]

Nonou is everything that Orochimaru is not.

She is warm and caring. She is ‘mother’ to countless children, selfless and nurturing. Yakushi Nonou sees a child on the streets and sees a soul in need; she sees someone who wants to be wanted and wants them in-return without any strings attached.

Nonou gives without expecting anything in-return, and that’s what makes her a better person than Orochimaru.

But she’s everything that he doesn’t want to be. People like Nonou have a life-span, and no matter how many children grow in the light of her motherly love, she will ,in time, pass-on and be forgotten.

Orochimaru is charming and magnetic, but it’s all a ruse, a tool to draw people in. He takes the concept of family and weaponizes it for his own benefit.

He sees a child on the streets and sees a pliable soul who can be worked between his fingers as easily as clay. He sees someone who wants to be wanted and wants them for everything they have to offer him.

He sows only for the promise of reaping, and that’s why he’ll last for all time.

Everyone: "Unova had a bunch of references to it recently and we had gen 4 games not long ago, next mainline game is gonna be in Unova!"

Also Everyone: "Gen 2 would be up for a new game soon after Let's Go did Kanto, and the whole Pokemon Present was FILLED with Johto related stuff. Next game will be Johto!"

Gamefreak:

[thatqueerbat]

catching up on docs streams, and he's talking about religion/spirituality and how it guides people's beliefs etc. he mentions how (generally) people like to be outraged by things [that dont affect them], like who other people are, and then immediately says 'if you're lgbtq you'll know what im talking about'

and i absolutely do. and its so wild to me how he just. drops that in. then starts talking about how it shouldn't matter who you are, how you can still do be incredibly religious and respect queer people, that the most important thing is that your beliefs don't hurt other people. how you should respect pronouns, that being 'indoctrinated' into being queer isn't a thing.

all whilst he's mining for diamonds using a freaking mega tunnel bore. like its any other conversation you might have

which it certainly is, for me. but a 40 something cishet man? not your standard casual conversation topic, not usually. and even though i already knew he was a supportive guy, hearing a conversation like this outside of an explicitly queer space, unprompted by a queer person. just solidifies what kind of person he is. and gives me faith that even outside of queer specific spaces, important conversations are happening, its not just us protesting and yelling into the wind, no one giving a shit. and its happening in some pretty unexpected places. which id say is pretty neat. its nice to have some hope for a change.

(all that to say, this is a docm77 stan household)

#i wasn't expecting to ramble so much oops #half the chat is being incredibly supportive. a chunk are being absolute shitheads. but hes not taking their shit #unexpected queer convo setting off more emotions than ive felt in a while kinda came out of left field #but its just. so nice. hearing this guy who isn't queer and definitely doesn't have an extremely noticeably queer audience #casually talking about this. mentioning my community. saying how people should just respect us and move on with their lives #entirely out of nowhere #hermitcraft #hermitcraft season 10 #docm77 #queer rights

Headcanons for Mark, Jonah, and Adam and an S/O who has a bunch of vita carnis Mimics as "helpers."

What would the three of them think of someone who can somehow "tame" these things and just keeps them around as house pets? They just hang out in their home and on their little plot of land (that I'd imagine is isolated because people moved tf away when the rumors started spreading) and keep any threats away. Reader doesn't actively do anything to sate their diet though. Although they aren't opposed to the Mimics stomping out any would-be troublemakers or those who piss them off... They still get their food themselves but use reader's home as a place of refuge.

Maybe the way the three of them meet their S/O was finding out that Alternates were being warded off from there. Idk, I haven't had a chance to get fully invested in MC but the idea just sounds really interesting. Also, I have the mental image of a Mimic putting away the dishes and someone's immediate reaction is screaming "What the FUCK is that?!?!" And just getting this whole explanation of what it is and that this one and all the others are friendly despite it needing to be reminded that the human in front of them is not food.

I LOVE that mental image you described. Mimics just doing chores and human things, only to see an actual human look at them absolutely HORRIFIED

........

Mark

He was relieved to get away from the Alternate-populated Mandela County for a while.

But when you answer the door while preparing dinner, you called out for James (one of the male Mimics you named) to stay in the kitchen...

Without realizing how extremely suspicious that sounded until you saw the look on Mark's face. "Who's James?"

"Oh! He's uh...can you wait here while I-?"

"Is he your new roommate or something?" He jumps to conclusions immediately, thinking you're cheating on him as you never told him you lived with another person.

In anger he storms past you to confront this "James" you were apparently being so secretive about....

Before you could stop him, he sees the Mimic and freaks out, causing it to drop the plate it was holding and screams right back at him.

You're quick to disperse the situation before it becomes a bloodbath, but by then it's too late. Mark was thoroughly traumatized.

When you mentioned living with creatures who kept the local Alternate population out of your town..he didn't think they'd be be skinless humans.

He locked himself in your bathroom, trying to stave off a panic attack as he recites his prayers, convinced there was "evil" hanging over your house.

Eventually he lets you in and you help him calm down, reassuring him that wasn't the case at all before explaining the Mimics and their role in your household, answering whatever questions he had (which were a LOT).

"Even if they're not demons....why would God make something like that?"

"Maybe..it's the same reason he made the platypus."

"......that's not the same, s/o."

"I know, I'm just trying to help."

Jonah

He's made jokes about the Mimics before.

But he didn't think they were real living and breathing creatures you were coexisting with.

He swears he was smoking something when he saw one wearing your clothes and sweeping the floor with a broom like any ordinary person would.

At first he tries to be chill about it as to not freak you out..

Until he goes into your pantry for a snack and finds shelves with jars filled to the brim with Crawl sticks.

As well as a Mimic curled up on the highest shelf, asleep.

Next thing you know, Jonah's dry heaving over the nearest trash can.

"Babe for the love of GOD please tell me that I'm on some weird ass trip because I can't handle this rn"

"...well maybe if you didn't brush off my research, you wouldn't be as scared." You pat his back before glaring at the Mimic who was just seconds away from lunging at your boyfriend at his most vulnerable moment.

"Jonah, sweetie..rule number one is to never turn your back on a Mimic unless you're running away from it." You make him turn around to face it, and they stare at each other before it eventually calms down and leaves.

Even after you explained how you "tamed" the Mimics, he's too scared to leave your side or be alone in the same room with one.

Their permanent smiles and wide eyes just...give him the chills. Even if they're just staring with curiosity, he always insists it's a look of hunger.

They are aware he's dating you and will playfully threaten to eat him, but never actually go through with it bc you'd probably kick them out and leave them without food.

Adam

(gonna make this post-Catalyst)

He's having a tough time keeping the relationship alive and coping with being an Alternate--a secret he only recently shared with you.

Despite him being the first one you've ever encountered, you're not all that afraid. Just surprised.

You confess to having your own secret to share, taking him to your home where you could talk about it more.

He keeps asking how you could trust him with anything when he looked like a hideous monster. But you reassured him he'll understand soon enough.

After you arrive, he sees the Crawl trees behind your house, but thinks nothing of it until you bring him inside.

You whistle and a Baby Mimic comes skittering towards you on all fours, climbing onto you like a koala bear before you turn back to your boyfriend, smiling.

It takes him a second to connect the dots. "....wait, that's a....Vita Carnis...i-it's a real thing??"

"They've always have been."

"Wow, this is...one hell of a secret. D-Does..that Mimic know what I am?"

"The adults can usually tell, but this little bugger thinks you're tasty food." You scratch the baby Mimic's chin, hearing it coo sweetly as it nibbled on your jacket strings. "But you see why I'm not scared of you? Because I've made peace with these "hideous monsters", just like I've made peace with what you told me."

He tears up at your sweet and kind words, though he listens as you introduce him to the "helpers" of your household aka the adult Mimics who wore your clothing and were doing different tasks.

They all kinda stared at Adam as he awkwardly greeted them, but didn't do anything more.

It's strangely comforting that they perceive him as a human.

At the same time, he feels lucky to not look appetizing to them.

is Coral Island good? What popular game(s) is it like?

I’ve really been enjoying it! The characters are cute and charming, the animals are nice and rotund like they’re meant to be in a farming sim, and there’s plenty to do to keep me from getting bored. I’m in late fall of my first year.

I’ve been loosely following the development of this game since they first announced the kickstarter and well before they had an early access. I feel like they were probably forced to release it earlier than intended bc while it is very fun and playable there are things that aren’t 100% polished / finished. Which is a shame, but it’s still very playable as is. The devs have big plans for 2024 too and I’m hopeful they’ll deliver on that. They’ve followed through on all the other things they’ve promised so far.

And in terms of what games it’s similar to it’s a farming sim, so the obvious answer is Stardew Valley if you’re talking recent games. And if you’re a long time farming sim fan then it’s similar to the old Harvest Moon games. I would say it reminds me a lot of Magical Melody just because of how big the world feels and how much there is to do.

Also there’s a marine biologist that blushes and can’t look you in the eyes when you give him a gift so that’s a huge bonus

If there's one thing that's really shocked me since I started my conversion into Judaism, it's the staggering amount of antisemitism on the left. I knew it was there, and I knew it was harmful, but I never expected it to be so insidious. There are so many things that went over my head, or things I shrugged off because hey, it wasn't affecting me.

Now whenever I'm on a leftie forum, I feel like I'm the sole spokesman arguing for the humanity of the Jewish people. I have to deal with all the casual ignorance of people who know nothing of the culture talking about how they're not antisemitic, but....

But this whole "chosen people" thing makes me uncomfortable even though I don't know what it means

But all religion is evil, and they need to stop clinging to stupid and antiquated traditions

But just say you hate Israel if you don't want to be spammed with the Palestinian flag every time you speak Hebrew

But I'm going to misquote and misinterpret this part of the Tanakh to own the Christians

But admit that you're privileged and rich and don't actually experience bigotry anymore

I'm not even Jewish! I don't have the authority to speak on these issues because it's not my culture yet- but I never thought I'd be met with so much open hostility and scorn when I tried. Judaism only has a place on the left insofar as it's funny and palletable and disdainful of all those bad Jews who don't assimilate in the right ways. As soon as you step out of line, Judaism is just spicy Christianity, and deserving of the same derision as its oppressor.

And I know that everything I've said has been said before in better ways, but I'm just so exhausted by being treated like the scum of the earth by people I thought I could help educate. I had no clue it was this bad.

#jumblr #jewish #antisemitism #i'm a minority in other ways and i've always been treated with respect by the left so this came completely out of left field #no pun intended

what I love is that Owens made it clear to El from the beginning that the literal entire world is at stake, and she voidsdropped Nancy's whole apocalypse prophecy including a specific mention of the entire Wheeler family meeting some horrific fate, and yet El never frames this plan as anything but "protect Max." not "save the world" or "save Hawkins" or "save Mike". just Protect Max.
