"I'm only criticizing the people who are lazy on purpose" is just not the reassurance people think it is when nearly every disabled person has been accused of not really being disabled and just being lazy on purpose

really difficult to convey to some people that you are absolutely allowed to dislike a character, but you should also pay attention to and understand why the POC character or woman is disproportionately targeted by fandom (for, often, innocuous reasons)

My take for the day is that the straight romance novel "evil annoying mean-girl fashionable shrew who is trying to get the male love interest" and the slash fiction "canon female love interest turned evil shrew who is trying to get her canon male love interest" are exactly the same type of misogyny.

[elumish]

At the same time, straight romance novel "sycophantic female best friend whose main characterization is being not quite as good at anything as the main character and being there to cheerlead the main character's romantic and/or other pursuits" and slash fiction "canon female love interest or other female character turned overly invested sassy best friend who is primarily there to cheerlead or orchestrate the main character's romantic relationship" are exactly the same type of misogyny.

[elumish]

On the other hand, straight romance novel "I'm the only girl around because no other girl has been *special* enough to make it" and slash fiction "there are no women" are different types of misogyny.

[elumish]

Anyway neither fanfiction nor original fiction inherently have any sort of special misogyny or lack thereof, and both spaces have a lot of opportunities to work on writing women better.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

i genuinely wasn't prepared for og zandik to be dead like i had it in the back of my mind as a possibility but i guess i thought he would've at least found a way to upload his brain into the cloud or something. but no he died at 85, lived a normal human lifespan and died of normal natural causes, and everything since then has been this bizarre house of mirrors. all him but not quite, eerily eternal, cannibalizing his still-warm corpse for scientific insight and then carrying on his legacy for the next four hundred years. but if what they did with it was exactly what he would do we have no way of knowing. we get to know him refracted through a prism, through these versions of himself half-clone half-creation, but we will never know the real him. not fully. this man this monster he lived a human life and died a human death. as finite as anyone else and as much as the segments stretch the concept of "self" they know they are not him. fucked upppppp

i was trying to gather all the references to nabu malikata wearing a veil and covering her eyes (as you do) but now i’m starting to suspect that it might be a metaphor for her using the abyss to hide herself from the heavenly principles as she refused to meet the same fate as the other angels.

(and thank you @sailor-rurouni for pointing out this line in nicole’s character story 4, which def makes it sound like she managed to slip through the cracks for a little while without giving up her power)

“exhaust every effort” leaves it wide open to interpretation on just how far she might have gone to protect herself, especially with these lines in flower of paradise lost:

i don’t necessarily think she liked doing this, and she created the khvarena with the intent for her to dispel the abyss during the cataclysm. (just a random side note but her separating a pure shard of her power from herself to combat abyssal contamination reminds me of how rukkhadevata broke off the purest branch of irminsul to create nahida)

anyways she probably only intended to use the abyss to hide herself for as long as possible until she could come up with a way to defy celestia, which ended up being her imparting her knowledge on king deshret. (it kinda sounds like she thought he could become a descender?)

with all that being said, this line about shame and sorrow could align with her regret for possibly being the one to bring the abyss into sumeru:

especially since the nightingale in question is most likely rukkhadevata, who warned nabu malikata when they first met not to try to defy the heavenly principles:

and the final piece of this (which might be veering into red string territory so that’s why i put it at the end) is the color purple. it’s so often associated with the abyss, abyssal energy, abyssal corruption, etc etc.

nabu malikata wore an amethyst crown, the original padisarahs were said to be a beautiful purple that even rukkhadevata couldn’t replicate, the flowers around bayt al-sukr are a pinkish purple, and the veiled (!) figure wearing the amethyst crown in the tcg card is covered in purple.
