vox machina AND mighty nein newbie discord! 18+ only.
Link here. It’s open to anyone 18+ at any point in CR/TLOVM/TMN! We’re making spaces for discussion for people at various points in the series and campaigns. So you’re welcome, wherever you are.
Feel free to stop by whether you’re new to Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein or are old hat!
I want to be very clear on this. You can be out drinking with your friends on Friday night and dead on Sunday because of meningitis. Does that sound a little specific? Guess why I have such a specific scenario in mind.
And getting vaccinated is an easy way to prevent that. There is no medical reason to stop recommending that vaccine. There's no new study that shows that it's unsafe, there's no replacement that's better. This is literally the government making its citizenry less safe for no reason.
This is the most accurate vaccine schedule as laid out by the AAP, who have stated that they think JFKjr is bullshit: 
If you have a kid, either download this or print it and confirm with your pediatrician that this is what you want to follow.

If there are still people who believe that Aziraphale's original motivation was to "change heaven" and "do the right thing" (like save the earth), and that he really wanted to return to heaven... AZIRAPHALE SAID THE OPPOSITE WITH HIS OWN FUCKING MOUTH.
There's no subtext, he's literally saying that he doesn't want to return!
Actually, if you think about it that way, this scene is really strong. In terms of Aziraphale's development as a character. He literally told METATRON to his FACE that he did not want to return to heaven because there would be no earthly joys that were dear to him (not literally coffee, because he does not drink coffee, but coffee symbolizes freedom + earthly joys to which he is attached). He openly admitted it in front of METATRON.
And before that, he told Metatron, "There's no point in discussing anything. I've already made my position clear." Oh, my brave, incredible angel...
He only gave in when it came to Crowley and his safety.
I hate how the ending completely forgot about Aziraphale's original motivation - to protect Crowley. Aziraphale didn't realize that the second coming was coming until he entered the elevator. Before that, his motivation was to protect Crowley at all costs until they could figure out what was going on. Yes, the news about the second coming played a role in his motivation - he couldn't let the planet burn down. But that wasn't his original motivation.
This bothers me so much too because I see people making the point that Aiziraphale want back to heaven to stop the second coming and protect humanity and no, no he didn't.
That's the oh shit moment when the Metatron says 'we call it the second coming' and we and Aziraphale realize we're up shit creek without a paddle, the paddle being Crowley because they have successfully been split up by the higher ups because hey they caused this powerful miracle and thwarted Armageddon last time now we've made sure that won't happen yay new end times.
I even watched the s2 ending again just to make sure I was remembering it right and ugh my heart our poor angel and demon.
I can see Aziraphale rationalizing his choice the whole way. With his still strained connection for wanting to do good with familiar dynamics. From the lockdown video of no we can't just be together it would break all the rules, to him still wanting to tell Crowley about his good deeds without having to do reports to heaven.
And I can see why he thinks he could make a difference too the supreme archangel fucking Gabriel just left after all why wouldn't change be possible?
Of course Gabriel left in spite of the system not because of it.
It all seems like it's going to be fine he and Crowley are going to be together where hell could never reach Crowley again. And of course heaven won't do anything because he'll be in charge.
Unfortunately saying to Crowley we could both be angels again doing good is probably the worst thing he could possibly have said right behind I forgive you after the kiss.
What Crowley hears is you were better as an angel and heaven made a mistake now we can fix it by making you as you should be and putting you back in the abusive enviornment that led you to fall in the first place.
And Crowley of course wants nothing to do with any of it and wants an us away from the whole toxic disaster that is both hell and heaven.
The irony that they both wanted the same thing. For them to be safe together and they never realize it.
Sure Aziraphale gets I went back to protect everything including us because you taught me to be brave and stand up, which makes no sense our angel had been brave since Eden and the flaming sword. And we don't even get to linger on Aziraphale calling them an us.
Crowley says point blank "does that include choosing heaven over me?"
And Aziraphale never gets to say I chose heaven for you Crowley, to keep you safe and nothing else.
S3 never lets us have the catharsis from the S2 finale and I hate it.
I agree with absolutely everything. And I swear to God, Satan, whoever, I thought when Aziraphale said "I chose heaven because of you," he meant he wanted to protect Crowley after realizing Metatron might know too much. More accurately, he probably already knew (after all, he saw Crowley lounging in a chair in Aziraphale's bookstore), but the fact that Metatron mentioned it right after Aziraphale refused to come back again suggests that the bastard was up to something, and if the angel hadn't gone after him, something might have happened to Crowley. And Aziraphale also knew that both heaven and hell were now aware that he and Crowley had been harboring Gabriel, and that for this they could be threatened, if not with erasure from the book of life, then at least with something no less, so to speak, unpleasant.
You should have seen my disappointment when he continued that sentence with "you taught me what it means to be brave and to stand up for what I believe."
Still in awe that Shadowgast actually happened and that we got to watch it unfold. From the honeypot to Caleb sweeping Essek into his hug with Veth during their brainstorming session, to the forehead kiss on the boat, to Eiselcross again and again and again... these two absolutely closed individuals for whom genuine care and affection were only ever drawn out of them by the most sunshine-y people on earth (Jester Lavorre) who manage to make a space for love that's all their own, drawn even from a well they thought was empty??? Whaaaaat the hell man. I'm going to cry.
Happy Pride Month!!! 🌈💕🌼✨
A popular antidepressant is being recalled because it may contain elevated levels of a cancer-causing substance.
Click the link! The drug treats several things, including fibromyalgia.

Thousands of bottles of Duloxetine delayed-release capsules are being voluntarily recalled by Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. The pills are commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, and fibromyalgia, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
i think about “ham and bean” on the daily
liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
I don't have time for a whole post but I'm VERY interested in what the timeline looks like between the cave near Deastok being disturbed/mined of the crystal caused by the sealing of the Whispered One back in history and Delilah Briarwood being contacted by him.
I have a strong suspicion that the crystal location being disturbed allowed the Whispered One to be heard/have influence back on the material plane in some small way again. Maybe the Briarwood comic will shed some light.
bullshit sensor attuned to that twin frequency
Still a WIP but I saw that ballroom scene and RAN to do a Leyendecker study because are you kidding me???
The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.
Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"
The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.
Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
THIS IS OPEN TO COMMENT UNTIL JULY 13, 2026
This is all very bad and horrible, but I want to be clear that it’s worse and more sweeping than just eliminating trans research.
This torches everything. And I do mean everything.
A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):
ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives
allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason
preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies
requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.
What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.
Please, if you only ever write one public comment, this is the one to do.
Bringing back this guide to writing an effective public comment. This gives you the basics you need to know, what you need to include, a basic outline you can follow, etc.
Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:
"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"
But also, if possible, don't stop at writing a comment. Don't stop at calling your representatives. You should ideally be talking to people in your community about this and organizing resistance on-the-ground; there is a good chance people are already doing that even if you aren't hearing about it.
Like they said- get the noise up. The administration has tried lots of ways to ban being transgender, and they've always failed. Make sure to tell community members and ask them to pass the word as well.
Don't let fear or feeling doomed stop you. If you're overwhelmed that's okay, but take a break, take a breath, talk to someone about how you're feeling, and continue.
We've beaten them before and we'll beat them again.
For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.
Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.
Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.
