#what we have are mere facts

[sbnkalny]

“Now listen well to what I tell you,” said the hen-wife. “You have paid me faithfully and fully, and I am ready to keep my part of the bargain, too. Far and far enough from here, there lies a great dark lake, and the name of it is Lough Erne. Under its waters lives the King of the Fiborg race, a race that lives in the water most happily. There, in the King’s garden, grow three golden apples. In his stable stands a grand black steed. In his castle lies the puppy-hound Samur, and great are the magic powers of that hound. You must send Conn-eda to get these things for you, and to fetch them back within a year and a day and it ’s not a living being who can seek those things and not lose his life in the seeking, unless he has magic to help him.”

However, there has been dissension within the scientific community as to what truth they ADD up to.. I served you faithfully once, lord Nerevar, and you repaid me with it! Oh, yeah! do you get it now? Papa's got a brand new jerky joint down on south st Calld Georges Jerky. Where I put my Big stupid pill Case for MORONS who take idiot pills? I need something to the bottom of a Lake, and a Nord will never see It happen. For the honor And dignity of the dunmer race, and handed over our ancient land to the mongrel dogs of the Empire. The BODILESS Shall rule the world as a MILF fire hydrant, you open me up and I grow three more heads. In the villa of ormen stands a solitary candle. Why are Old wiccan textbooks like the peak of that mountain lies the sky tower. Early one morning shattering life in the face spread the dirt to populace yellow journal yellow journal set the stage name joh Yowza.

#ANSWER #DAY 7 #thatblucat #9TH #Can you say the Fifth Fleet's digilent efforts #we have learned much #what we have are mere facts #and not a single clue to what truth they add up to.. I hope i have served you faithfully once #Lord nerevar #and you repaid me with death. Apologies for the language that should always stand downwind of the balloon and the bottom of a lake #and a nord will never see the light at the end of psa. It was different when there were hills to look on; the affected dignity of the dunme #and HANDED over our ancient land to the mongrel dogs of the empire. How much should I grow three more heads. In the villa of ormen stands a #but it slipped away i run life in the face of god look like?

plain and simple i am not going to be able to remain in this fandom long-term if i have to keep putting disclaimers on every single one of my posts that say i don't condone dennis' bad, bad actions and that i am in fact aware he's got a history of sexual assault and dubious/nonconsent. the entire gang has done heinous shit. why is dennis the only one who needs to be treated like this? if some rando wants to post about how dennis is pookie pie that doesn't automatically mean they're blind to his crimes. every single member of the gang is a piece of shit. that's kind of the point.

draw dennis with cat ears who give a shit

#ada speaks #i'm not vagueing this is a constant thing ive experienced #i still have angry anons sitting in my askbox mad that i didn't explicitly condemn him last time i got into this #i'm really not a fan of the tension in the fandom the last few days #and like. i know its a hot button issue rn. everyone's going back and forth abt mac and dennis' SA #but this fandom genuinely does have an issue SPECIFICALLY MENTIONING things mac does to dennis and uwu-ifying them #when they are explicitly classified as SA in canon (which is an actual present issue i think needs to be addressed) #rather than like. just the mere MENTION of dennis outside of his SA is somehow condoning his actions #im sorry but i really do not feel the need to constantly talk about him assaulting women #everyone knows. everyone sees it. just bc i am dissecting other parts of his character does not mean i forgot he's a horrible person #it just means im trying to understand where he's coming from (which obviously does not change the facts.) #viewing dennis as a person with unresolved trauma stemming from elsewhere doesn't negate the damage he is doing to other people #he's not a real person where humanizing him does tangible damage #so i am going to continue to look into shit. when i talk about the CSA he went through it's not a justification. #but it does explain his actions in a character motivation type way which is what i am interested in #seeing what makes him tick #i think most people who follow me understand this by now. but i also don't think shit we see him do constantly in canon needs bringing up. #it's the subtle stuff that ties everything together and i want to put it all together to solve a puzzle

"In reality Richard III invented a Woodville scare as a screen for his own conspiracy"

-A.J Pollard, "Richard III and the Princes in the Tower"

#lmao #r*chard iii #my post #I think that's true for all usurpations and coups to an extent #but its 10x more applicable and accurate for Richard III #Not only because of the compressed length of time (a mere 3 months as opposed to years of back-and-forth tensions) #but also because ultimately one of the key reasons Richard could do what he did was because he did it from the heart of the political #institution (ie he was an internal threat rather than an external one) #and he was someone who was trusted and loved rather than mistrusted and hated. His betrayal was political but it also had far more personal #ramifications for everyone involved - most people simply did not expect it from him and cooperated with him precisely because of that #which enabled him to seize power before most people even realized what he was doing #And there's the fact that he actually did stage a conspiracy by accusing the Woodvilles of plotting to attack and ambush him #and produced weapons from his own war in Scotland as fake 'proof' - when in fact we know that HE deceived and ambushed THEM #there's also the (propagandic) lie that they usurped him from the position as Lord Protector when they certainly didn't #either Edward IV didn't appoint Richard Lord Protector meaning the Woodvilles denied him nothing #OR the council collectively chose to have a council rule during Edward V's minority rather than a Protector (something they were entirely #within their rights to do both socially and legally) #so claims that they wrongly defied Edward IV's last wishes or broke the law (which Mancini repeats in his account) must be seen as exactly #that - propagandic lies to vilify EW and her family #when in fact Richard was the one plotting a seizure of power - whether it was as Lord Protector or as King #(of course these are just two things - there's a whole laundry list of others) #so this is definitely applicable to him

i'm not tired, i'm exhausted

#my head is full of sooo many thoughts and i'm feeling way too many emotions right now #i struggled with my thesis today again after a few months break #yesterday a guy i'm kind of getting to know asked me a question that hit home when we were talking about the effects of past events #“'last time when cuddling and i gave you a kiss you tensed up completely for a sec. was that you being shy or being uncomfortable. ' #i didn't even realise it and now i'm feeling extremely anxious about my subconscious acting out when i am in fact feeling comfortable #background: he knows my history of unpleasant events concerning intimacy/sex and he's very mindful about it yet challenges me in a good way #but now i am a mixture of extreme exhaustion experiencing high levels of fondness and yet feeling extremely agitated #and having constant minor flashbacks and i really don't know what to do or how to merely exist in this moment now #not going to bother anyone with this and my thoughts as they are having a good time and that also goes for the pretty nice guy i mentioned #so i'm on my own in my own company #maybe some music crying and ice cream straight from the tub would help haha #thank you for taking your time to read this mess love you and have a nice morning day or night #literally no one cares emma

Not to be a jingfu on main, but it's so cute that Jing Yuan thought of Fu Xuan with those jelly beans

#me: the Xianzhou characters are all just coworkers #also me whenever anyone is shown to be fond and have intimate knowledge of some other character: awwww #Like Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan playing starchess and teasing each other or making a reference to things they like #or Jing Yuan talking about young Yukong #Quingque apparently disliking Fu Xuan but obviously that not being the case‚ knowing what she likes and how she thinks #Fu Xuan hiding that she has a sweet tooth but Jing Yuan and Quingque knowing it and teasing her for it #I don't know. There are a lot of instances of these small intimate details in the middle of what looks like a coworker relationship #Good coworkers‚ but coworkers nonetheless #And ironically it moves me so much? Even more so than Belobog. I've been told several times that Belobog seemed more tight. And I agree #In Belobog people were friends or family or companions but linked by something closer than mere coworkers with Wildfire #Even Sampo in the Underworld was strangely 'theirs'. He had the magenta colour of Wildfire and he was trusted to some extent #The Luofu characters don't have that. And yet the fragments of intimacy scattered through their interactions move me a lot #These are people who have known each other for centuries. Jing Yuan knows of Yukong's youth‚ its joy and grief #He knows Fu Xuan has a sweet tooth and teases her about her height. Quingque does too #Fu Xuan chastises both of them for being lazy but she knows they're smart and good at their job. She plays starchess with Jing Yuan #Quingque mocks Fu Xuan for being a workaholic but is very aware of the weight she carries both in her position and ideas about destiny #I won't mention Yanqing and Bailu because there is obviously more than a coworker bound when it comes to them #But yes I love the moments of intimate knowledge scattered through the Xianzhou‚ so telling of the fact that these people have known #each other for longer than several human lifetimes‚ and that perhaps they don't necessarily regard each other as more than their coworker #But perhaps that's enough in order for them to care. Perhaps in a lifetime over one thousand years the intimacy gained with a coworker #through several centuries is something beyond what we could understand in our decades lifespan #But also‚ perhaps‚ I don't know. Also‚ perhaps‚ the do care beyond coworkers in that strange line between work and friendship #Perhaps it's strange for Xianzhou natives to tell apart that kind of relationship after so much intimacy and knowledge through the years #And perhaps‚ once again‚ as it often happens for them‚ they think they'll always have enough time to tell; until they run out of it #They play chess together. Quingque can lose time because Fu Xuan can't stay mad if she brings her sweets. Are they just coworkers? #We play chess. I know what tea and sweets you like best. I brought them today since you would indulge me and play starchess with me #Thanks for playing with me‚ I'm running out of book puzzles. You keep divining my moves but I'll invent a fake story to distract you #Are we coworkers or something more like friends? Where is the line after so many years? #I talk too much but I love this charged nothingness haha I find it ironically so true to how many relationships in real life develop #And I find it so moving‚ that representation of this endearing smallness of everyday life. Of these small things is life made

OK we're done talking about spoilers now. Mad Rat Dead is fun because it's in the category of "things that, despite giving little to no indication on the cover that a specific subject is even present, handled it significantly better than a piece of media that specifically markets itself on Handling That One Subject". Despite not really marketing itself on the inevitability of death and figuring out how to live a life that you're happy to die with, it still works a damn good story on those terms, and you probably wouldn't guess just how well it works with those themes by initial presentation. Also, the soundtrack slaps.

#we speak #MRD and Spiritfarer are a lot more adjacent to each other theme-wise than you would really guess from the covers #also it stands out to us because we have another indie game that specifically marketed itself as being About Death And Death Positivity #and then fell flat on its face in the presentation and handling of those themes to the point that the whole game felt flat #MRD handling the same general themes with both more skill and more. tact? subtlety? really just sort of hammered it home #we've got stronger negativity bias than average so it Does help with memorability to be able to compare with something that sucks #MRD is very bold and up-front with its themes and it uses a relatively simple narrative structure to hammer things home #it doesn't get entirely into the complexities because that's not the sort of story it is #it's simple and snappy and confident with its premise and its writing #it knows what it's about and it doesn't see the point in beating about the bush #you don't come to MRD for an extended conversation you come to MRD for a fun story that is incredibly unapologetic about being itself #it is what it is. it wouldn't really fit in any other form. and being exactly itself is all that can really be asked of it #if you're looking for extended story and discussion and like. exploring this sort of inevitable death and closure in different forms #then spiritfarer is definitely the way to go #which is another game we will very much recommend #though there are parts of MRD that would be fun to explore they wouldn't fit with the story told #the lack of addressing them is not a flaw but merely a fact of what is being told #and exploring them extracanonically is merely giving the chance to tell a different story

Why does it feel like nowadays you have to have some sort of intense background check by some hidden council in order to be allowed in some maps? Not by skill but by opinions politically or not. (Even though that doesn’t usually matter??)

A lot of decisions are also usually face-value assumptions of others which is really rude.

I’ve seen participants say they’re uncomfortable with others but they haven’t even met each other or talked..? So it’s more like they don’t like them and want them out of the map. Even if the first complainer is problematic themselves.

so really it’s a race to who can be uncomfortable with the other first and “inform” the host first.

it’s like a territory dispute nowadays. Map drama is weird. Is it possible that people somehow followed the books clan life style so seriously? Lol.

i mean...i doubt people want to unknowingly work with a fascist or something

#i dont like the way this is worded #and the fact that you're saying this when #warriors is largely full of ppl with the most shitty beliefs #that even means they have awful political views #we have literal nazis in this fandom jsyk #like yes ppl should justhave fun with maps #but to say theyre wrong or trying to stir drama for merely... #not wanting to associate with a terrible person is. weird #theres nothing wrong w tht unless #its being used to spread false info #but someone merely warning a host that this person is racist isnt..bad #like what do you really mean when you say this #i hope youre normal #confession #text #anonymous

I want to open my mouth about gojo so bad. I want to talk about stupid scifi physics and math. i need someone validate me about the hc that prison realm is basically shrodingers box but instead of a cat its gojo

#gojo satoru #jjk #satoru gojo #touching grass #clearly nobody had thought about the fucked up fact that time not passing in the cube is basically the same thing as infinite time #because time was literally invented by human people to talk about how our body and surrounding changes relative to it #and if time is not passing for gojo it means he doesnt have to pee or breathe or anything. his heart would literally be stopped mid beat #the dude isnt breathin in there either. if you are breathing thats time happening to you #as bestie would say krill my dear shrimp gege didn't think that hard about it #there's no atmosphere in the prison realm. there's nothing. time and space is what makes up our reality if there's no time #gojo would have to be All Thoughts He could Ever have at once #because if he starts counting and keeping track of the number. that's time passing. he has nothing to anchor his consciousness to #do you understand how fucked up is as a sentence esp the fact that gojo isn't Paused. he is still Thinking #like if he was Paused then yeah that's time stopping because WE made TIME up. but if he could perceive that time isn't passing what the #fuck does that mean. #'so where does shrodingers box come into play silly shrimp' well. heh. superposition #gojo is in a state where he is both dead and alive in that box. and like if all versions of his consciousness exists at the same time he'd #to be fair that's not really how shrodingers box and superposition works but it sounds cool doesn't it. anyways. if he comes out of that #box perfectly intact without any repercussions i call that bs #gege u mentioned time being subjective when u said one minute in gojos mind is mere seconds. what the fuck would timelessness in gojos mind #be. its literally eternity. do you know how terrible solitary confinement is for a person and we are not mentioning complete #sensory deprivation #WHAT DOES #TIME DOESNT PASS MEAN #then again i tried to think of curse energy and reverse curse technique as entropy and reverse entropy so yeah #and entropy is also basically. intrinsically related to time #im so fucked in the head

trying to check out to see if i'll ever manage to get top surgery this year and. let's just say i thought the delay would be bigger but. the price is still always such a big ass problem i kinda wanna bash my head against a wall but. anyway

#living with 600/month and having no idea if i'll ever get a job after this semi-work that ends in march but. oh well!!! #already tried to calculate if i could ever save any money from the little time i get to work there but!!! only make me wanna cry #im afraid this will be another year w/o top surgery 😀 dying in the summer and wishing to rip my skin off. w/o the hope i'll at least #get a date some day. cos at this rate i have absolutely no hope ngl. #the whole organisation to get to one of the potential surgeon 2h away is already making me want to explode #i have absolutely no idea how i'll ever be able to pull this off. ever. i don't even know if we'll be able to stay in this flat by the end #of our contracts. so. yeah #i can't see past 4 months away how can i think i'll ever be able to start this thing going. trying to but i stay silly ing the situation but #!!!!! im so desperate i feel so drained and exhausted. the mere idea of summer makes me wanna kms i'm dreading going through it another year #smh. #absolutely no one gives a shit i shouldn't vent in da tags for the 1 day of the yea #but im suddenly hit with an enormous wave of despair that i know won't go away cos it's always on my mind #and seeing the facts once again that i'll prob never be able to afford it is not helpiiiinh #yes i live in france no not everything is paid by healthcare cos it's still considered as non vital </3333 #dental/ear/teeth problems started to get fully refundable (on specific little things) only a few years ago #so we're like decades of getting top surgery refunded 100% im afraid</3 #i shouldn't complain but then again what's the use of cool healthcare if we can't ever have access to a doctor. of any kind. #smh smh smh #rent over I'm sick of myself i'll shut up sorry

Did I just read a post about how carats and seventeen members hate seungcheol?

#seungcheol #svt #i follow some tag so more often than not posts by people i don't follow just pop up #and today this one person that we can't even call seventeen friends to coups because they are merely work buddie #and I'll give in to the fact that i don't know but about fandom behavior #but did we watch the same videos? the same anything regarding svt? #because that's the one thing i always noticed about seventeen how close they are #even before i started to really like them #and if someone thinks that because they tease the fuck out of each other means that don't love and care about each other #i have some news for you my friend #that's basically how man function #my friends tease each other to the point where if it were i would be in tears #but the second one of them has am issue small as it might be they're in it #what i just read was too absurd omg

right so i got my hair cut yesterday and mind you when im at uni my haircutting options are to get my one mate to do it (she's surprisingly good but can get very scissor happy) OR cut my own bangs in the sink with cuticle scissors at midnight while my automatic light turns off every five seconds. no that's not hyperspecifc what do you mean. anyway i got my hair cut yesterday and BY THE PROFESSIONAL HAIRDRESSER THAT DOES MY MUM AND SISTER'S HAIR. now this lady has been doing our hair for over a decade she's very chill she knows us very well i stress her out a lot bc every time i see her im like 'i want to [insert crazy hair idea here]' and she's like orrrr what if we didn't? BUT yesterday i was like i want my hair short again i hate that it's grown to touch my shoulders bc it curls weird. and what i was aiming for was literally just to replicate what my friend does for me back at uni where she just cuts it to my jaw and that's that nothing too complicated, BUT like i said this lady is a skilled professional AND she knows me in both a style sense and what she knows i'd like and in the sense of i really dont give a fuck about my hair so she knows she can have a lil fun with it, and basically long story short i have a wolf cut now

#it wasn't even on purpose i didn't actually realise what i was describing to her was a wolf cut until she was done #and i looked in the mirror like HEY THIS IS WHAT ALL THE HOT TIKTOK BISEXUALS HAVE #like you know how a wolf cut is a mix between a mullet and a shag cut? mine's like that except it's slightly more shag #until i push it behind my ears a lil in which case it's more mullet #im OBSESSED with it holy fuck #im gonna get styling stuff too bc i never normally do anything with my hair but this is something else #i look like a punk lesbian im obsessed #also my godmum is coming for tea soon and she's a butch lesbian so im hoping i get some sort of compliment from her #will keep you posted #mind i dont have much respect for her despite her being my Sole Female Queer Rep Irl because her politics are FUCKED #this woman voted brexit like okay babygirl set your own movement back then #but acknowledgement from the local butch is still acknowledgement from the local butch #and i am but a mere baby gay making grabby hands #fun fact i acc tried to get a shag cut from my uni friend but it was out of her skill level (obvs cause she's not trained lol) #BUT she's the super super innocent highly christian friend ive mentioned a couple times #and she very cheerfully went 'i love when you ask for a shag' and like. left it #and we just sat in silence while i waited for her to clock what she said and she just DIDNT #and i just said her name very slowly and went 'can you repeat that for me' #and she really loudly went 'OH MY GOD' it was so funny

[shirkers2018dirsanditan]

please ignore the mini meltdown i had over the critics choice awards. EEAO for BP and fraser for actor are exactly the kind of choices the critics choice would make in any normal year. but i do still stand by my notes on the SAG awards being a friendly show for both as well, and with wins, they could be a contender and a long distance spoiler respectively. with enough momentum, EEAO could vie for the underdog BP spot against banshees, and the underdog has won since moonlight’s 2017 win (excluding the covid year in 2021 in which a lot of the films were underdogs in general and maybe GDT’s the shape of water [2018] which was kind of schrodinger’s underdog).

#HOWEVERRRR #with the exception of the 2020 season’s juggernaut parasite #the underdog is typically the less popular film #it has less hype and makes less money #which is why its an underdog #what made parasite an underdog was the fact that it is an international film #more than anything #and it’s not a classical prestige drama/epic like 1917 was #which are usually the films that win best picture #EEAO made a lot of money and has a lot of hype and is backed by the darling studio of critics and film twitter (a24) #its only underdog quality is that its nonconventional and that it boasts a majority asian cast #so we’ll just have to see how it shapes out #also worth noting….besides 2021’s nomadland which swept pretty widely #the underdog BP winner has failed to win a best acting award #and also excluding the shape of water for reasons i just said #all the underdogs with the exception of green book i think have won best director or best screenplay #however shape of water did fail to win a best acting award #considering michelle yeoh and colin farrell are both early contenders for best acting awards….this might merely be incidental #banshees is ineligible for the WGA so that might hurt martin mcdonagh’s screenplay chances #but we shall see!

The way they talk of Iran's attack to Israel is so confusing btw.

One time they say alarmed it "was an unprecedented attack", but in the exact next moment they claim "Israel blocked 99% of the missiles", then they also reveal that Iran's attack clearly aimed military bases (must be such a surprise to the dumb boot lickers), then they yet share a theory that Iran may have drawn the attack in way to give Israel a chance evade it (WHY WOULD THEY DO IT???)

#Do you notice saying that last part just makes Israel look pathetic and Iran look reasonable? #I mean you would've realized that by the last six months as Israhell just proceeded its attacks with usa's weapons... #and by the simple fact Iran is merely reacting to Israhell's act to attack their embassy in Syria #but it all requires you to use your brain and we all know boot lickers refuse to do it #fuck israel #stop the genocide #deeply ashamed to know none of the tv stations around here will have the decency of condemn Israel #nor will almost all the politicians... apparently just Lula is willing to call the thing of what it is
