Whenever you mention Machete having a stiletto, my brain always first assumes you're talking about the shoe and the imagery of Machete always wearing them to serve as self defense will infinitely amuse me

He's been practicing his high kicks.

Could I use your art (specifically the one looking at the main pelican town area from above) as my desktop background? It is SO serene and soothing to me. I adore it

Alright, the jack in the box is wound, and the coherence is coming to me. Halsin and the dryad, I was talking about his response if the PC indicates that he is most comfortable after a supper large enough to induce hibernation:

"Mindless gorging...? No, that is not right. I did not realize you thought that of me."

And why this keeps catching in my mind is not necessarily what he says, but how he says it (so I am commending Dave Jones' voice acting here). The rest of Halsin's responses to incorrect answers are generally even toned and corrective; firm, usually, but not inherently overly emotional. Much like a teacher correcting a student. But this one...he sounds genuinely surprised and taken aback that the PC would even suggest that. The "no, that is not right" is even firmer on its heels. And the last part...the last part, his voice is smaller. Less forward. I would not go so far as to suggest hurt, but it is approaching that territory. It comes so fast after his firm no, that it almost sounds like something that slipped by accident. Like something that was meant to be muttered under the breath, but it slipped from him because the surprise was so organic.

Alone, it doesn't mean too much. It's a slight offense to an obviously nonfactual statement. And that's likely all it is. I'm about to read too deep into this, I am aware.

But combined with the other things spread throughout Halsin's dialogue, particularly the implication that he is otherwise used to people making commentary on his physical appearance or the physicality of his being, it suggests an extra layer of hurt. An extra layer of: "I did not expect this from you, of all people." Not quite a betrayal, but approaching one.

What makes it particularly catching, is that one of the things you are able to wrench (and I say wrench because getting Halsin to share mundane personal details about himself is a production - and it makes *sense* it's a production if a. We keep in mind that Halsin himself doesn't seem all too sure who he is beyond his preoccupation - which elves are prone to but Halsin also just has...a lot on his plate that have evidently stunted his identity formation - to the point where he even claims he was forgetting who he was, and b. If he is used to questions concerning himself and his experience leading into questions regarding his sex life or his physical activities, see: the companion banter with Wyll and Karlach, he likely...doesn't really keep ready details about himself personally on tap anymore. He's so unused to people being interested in Halsin, that he's taken aback when they are. It becomes the "In the moment, I forget everything and anything I like to do for fun" mentality - no one really cares about what I like to do anyway - if you will. He even goes so far as to joking that the PC may be a doppelganger because *why else would they want to know these things*) out of Halsin when you ask him about himself is that he has a sweet tooth. That he likes honey, and people find that amusing. He chuckles, but his face falls, evidently prepping for the PC to make a similar comment (and he attempts to beat you to the joke about that, though a PC can still call that "on the nose" to which he responds that there is little point in denying oneself if it doesn't hurt anybody - indulging isn't a bad thing). If the PC instead chooses that he should pay little attention to what others think, he gives that infamous: "sometimes I think people look at me and imagine my feelings can't be hurt" line. Which implies - regardless of whether he verbalizes it or not - things in this thread hurt his feelings. Comments or assumptions about his body and his person hurt his feelings. He won't say it, but they do. The PC is likely aware of this by this point in the relationship.

Halsin does not otherwise bring up eating or food to any level of significance or directness - the sweet tooth comment was the only time (you could assume outside of canon interactions that they've had other conversations between them and that perhaps this was brought up, but we are going to base this solely in what Halsin reveals in canon). He brings up hibernation, but specifically the sleeping part of it. Nothing else.

So, the PC then potentially goes ahead and makes an assumption of him during the dryad. How'd they arrive at this conclusion, as it obviously surprises Halsin that they did? It reads, very much, that the PC is making this assumption based on the comment about his sweet tooth, his comment on indulgence, and his physicality (note: the ha ha bear and hibernation thing almost seems like an afterthought - Halsin latches *very* quickly onto the "mindless gorging" part). All things that he has shown very evident discomfort (which is ironic because the question is when he feels most comfortable) or hesitance towards (he claims there is nothing wrong with indulgence, but never seems to indulge himself beyond sex, if that. Gee, what does that remind you of?)

Halsin entrusted this individual with this information, as frivolous as it was, potentially revealed that it hurts his feelings when people make assumptions of him, and this individual then went used that information and made the assuming connection: "So, this is a big man. He said he liked sugar, so he must like to eat and indulge. It must be his favourite thing to do because look at him." I am going to essentially ignore everything else I could have possibly heard, and make a bear hibernation joke that has nothing to do with sleeping being a comfort, but emphasize the eating part.

So, yeah, he's a little taken aback - incredulous, you might say. A little hurt. Resigned, almost. Because at that point, you can make a very logical assumption that Halsin came to a very quick snap realization that perhaps this person was not so different from the others as he thought. That it always eventually comes back to that. What else was he expecting? When has it ever been any different for him?

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #does this make sense i don't think it does but it's like...jumping from a - z based on assumption and you know what they say about that #note: this isn't actually this deep i am just making it this deep - also yes i'm aware it probably means none of this #i have a degree in bullshit #but this is also why halsin should have had a legitimate bear like build of a body #i understand why he didn't - but this is *verbatim* what fat individuals receive as assumptions on their person #*all the time* that oh you must overindulge yourself you must eat a lot you must you MUST #and in that thread of thought of halsin's relationship with his body #there's also something to say when halsin says 'my ears are all yours...any part of me is yours should you wish it' #because he *begins* by offering his sympathy and understanding...but follows it up with 'but if i am more valuable to you in this way #then that's fine too - i'm used to that' #almost parallels (inadvertently) astarion's: #'i think i'll enjoy having halsin around not for his wit or wisdom he'll just make an excellent shield if we're attacked' #he's self aware #and in regards to how halsin sees his body as a separate entity - a. body dysmorphia and b. i don't think he truly does #halsin claims he sees his body as a vessel to serve nature and wrinkles his nose at vanity - but i feel there is enough old hurt in him #that this can never be true of him even is he so desperately wishes it was #does he have a level of confidence in himself? obviously he does - but it is marred - it's an exchange #there's always going to be that little voice in the back

The Wise Woman

1 Every wise woman buildeth her house, but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. 2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD, but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him. 3 The mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise shall preserve him. 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase comes by the strength of the ox. 5 A faithful witness will not lie, but a false witness will utter lies. 6 A scorner seeketh wisdom and findeth it not, but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. 7 Go from the presence of a foolish man when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is to be deceived. 9 Fools mock at sin, but among the righteous there is favor. 10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness, and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.

11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown, but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 15 The simple believeth every word, but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil, but the fool rageth and is confident. 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly, and a man of wicked devices is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 19 The evil bow before the good, the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 20 The poor is hated even by his own neighbor, but the rich hath many friends.

21 He that despiseth his neighbor sinneth, but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. 22 Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. 23 In all labor there is profit, but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. 24 The crown of the wise is their riches, but the foolishness of fools is folly. 25 A truthful witness delivereth souls, but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. 26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence, and His children shall have a place of refuge. 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death. 28 In a multitude of people is the honor of the king, but the lack of people is the destruction of the prince. 29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding, but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. 30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh, but envy is the rottenness of the bones.

31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker, but he that honoreth Him hath mercy on the poor. 32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness, but the righteous hath hope in his death. 33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding, but that which is innermost in fools is made known. 34 Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. 35 The king's favor is toward a wise servant, but his wrath is against him that causeth shame. — Proverbs 14 | Third Millennium Bible (TMB) Third Millennium Bible, New Authorized Version, Copyright 1998 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc.

Why are the notes on that post so hostile? I made a suggestion, I didn't commit a war crime! It's not as if anyone has found a perfect way to fund all of this stuff, I just wanted to find a solution agreeable to everyone.

The reasons why you in general and this idea of yours in particular get so much hostility are, notably:

Your views on trans people, especially trans women, are not as positive as you seem to believe, and you spread both insulting and harmful ideas.

Your idea of what the human body can do seems driven and primarily informed by fantasies and fetish plots, which offers a target of ridicule and bewilderment. Human milk won't ever be able to repay surgeries - or replace cow dairy, aphrodisiacs do not exist, and if they did you'd be using chemically-induced distress as a compliance method.

When the first and second points co-occur it also specifically gives the reader an acute awareness of how fetish and trans women inherently meld together in your mind, which is damning.

You are suggesting indentured servitude with debt/debt relief as both carrot and stick, plus "let's ensure compliance with chastity devices and chemicals" as a supposedly humane alternative to... debt. That's not only not agreeable, it's monstrous.

You're both-sidesing "trans people should be forbidden from transition" with "trans people's healthcare should be publicly funded". Considering the group stating the first idea is simultaneously advocating against trans people's every right and the group stating the second rarely if ever considers their own healthcare conceptually separate from everyone else's, you're really pitting and both-sidesing the opinion derived from "genocide is good" vs. the one derived from "healthcare is a human right". Ultimately, you're reducing a situation where both exist as "a political kerfuffle" to be solved with induced lactation and stuff you find in sex shops. See again points 1 to 3.

The "swiftly privatised" thing is at worst a mayonnaise-and-wonderbread deal and at best Thatcherite. Aside from the fact for-profit private organisations treat their figurative cash cows, and in the case of your idea literal cash cows, much less humanely than state-led... consider how wrong must one go that their ideas are at best Thatcherite.

On top of all else, there appears to be some great misapprehension of how economics work. Even if you did produce enough human milk to stock the shelves in every store, there simply isn't the demand.

This pattern of bad models of what people want, rank disregard for consent in fetishy scenarios, outlandish unworkable ideas that you insist are not porn plots but only seem logical with smut goggles and a stiff drink, and generally displeasing approaches to sensitive political issues that, in real life, affect people's lives, earned you at first a mocking nickname then widespread scorn. It should alarm you that the current situation is not a special event but rather the accumulation of a sentiment over a repeated pattern.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2)

One treasure of the Orthodox Church is that each one of us works together in the Body of Christ when we worship. The name for our most important activity is the Divine Liturgy, "liturgy" meaning "the work of the people."

A priest cannot serve the Liturgy alone. He must have others to worship with him communally. Unlike in many Western churches, an Orthodox Christian priest faces the same direction as the congregation. All the people, clergy and laity alike, are engaged together in serving the Liturgy. We believe that this worship is a small taste of the worship continually happening in heaven. For a few moments, we join in with the great cloud of witnesses who worship God together.

When I entered the church pictured here, I was struck by the beautiful depiction of the great cloud of witnesses along the back wall of the nave. They too face east with the people, reminding us of this ongoing worship and our place in it.
