the draw of arranged marriage AUs to me is really the way the dubcon of it all binds them together. neither of them have a choice in being here, something else is foisting this upon them whether that’s their parents or the political situation around them or expectation or something else, but the point is that they don’t get that one choice. so they have to make a choice somewhere else, that now that they’re here, they’re going to make it work. they’re each other’s only allies, in this cage built around them. they may have been coerced into swearing to stand by each other through anything, but they did swear.

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

My daughters. I love them so much

[byjove]

cats love to randomly behave like they’ve just quantum leap’ed into their body and they’ve never seen any of this shit before

[loreleyfromouterspace]

I love how when Rocky brings up his "mate" Grace goes into woke inclusive teacher mode and doesn't assume their gender by choosing a gender neutral name etc. because he understands that gender and relationships work differently with Eridians but when he first meets Rocky he's like 🫵 that's a little guy right there!!! My rock man!!

”This portrayal of a marginalized group was wrong then and is wrong now” and “This portrayal of a marginalized group was very progressive for the time period and paved the way for more representation while likely limited by factors outside of the creator’s control” are two statements that can and should ABSOLUTELY coexist and be kept in mind when interacting with older media

[lemonylemus]

Great example

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah I know that the amulet is cursed but by the nature of it being cursed I also can’t get rid of it. Gets back in my pocket somehow after I throw it into the ocean again. You understand.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Oh no yeah I’m completely corrupted by this thing. Being self aware about it doesn’t really stop the process. I mean you spend your whole life thinking “surely I wouldn’t be corrupted by the amulet” and then the next thing you know you’re undead and eating souls to keep living. What? Oh yeah I just died like last week. My flesh probably won’t start rotting off my bones for a few years yet.

Anyways this has been a nice chat. It gets lonely in here only talking to the amulet. Well, I’m gonna consume your immortal soul now.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Oh, quick note. If my happenstance you survive my second boss phase and kill me, don’t put the amulet in your pocket. I mean unless you wanna take over this tower. The amulet always brings you back to the tower eventually. And like I said, being self aware about the corruption doesn’t really stop it.

Anyways I’m getting hungry. Time for you to die or whatever.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Do I feel bad about this? I mean, not really? I can’t stop doing it. God knows I tried. And if I can’t stop doing it, what’s the point of feeling bad? Who does that help?

If you’re about to try to appeal to my humanity or something it won’t work. It never does. Also if you keep trying to delay this eventually you’re gonna find yourself talking to the amulet and not me and the amulet is far less polite about all of this than I am.

I mean you still have your free will. More than I do anyways, and you chose to come in here to try to destroy the amulet. You probably think you’re immune to doing evil things to keep surviving. I thought I was too, but look at me now. A lich. Floating around an old tower. It was quite a process to become a lich you know. I had to do some pretty fucked up things to get this gig.

It’s not all bad though, once you get used to it. Once you decide to stop feeling bad about being hungry for souls and the irresistible desire for immortality you discover that you have a lot of time on your hands. I’ve gotten a lot of reading done recently and torturing adventurers can be pretty fun once you get used to it.

Stop struggling against those chains. What’s that? Oh yeah the amulet says I should carve your still beating heart out and eat it now and that sounds pretty fun so anyways, nice meeting you. Goodbye.

I keep saying alles ist in Ordnung but the truth is that alles ist nicht in Ordnung, alles hasn't been in Ordnung for a long time, and if I'm being honest I can't remember the last time alles oder irgendetwas in Ordnung waren in this goddamn place
