WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
Love it when video games are just
Here's the thing I keep trying to articulate and possibly failing: I don't actually mind characters who are terrible people. I have enjoyed many. What I mind is characters who are terrible people while the narrative keeps trying to say that they are wonderful, often contradicting what the narrative shows us, with no self awareness
cool board 2
My least favorite non-romance trope in media is Life force as a non-renewable resource.
Youâve got all these stories where one character dies so another does magic/science shenanigans to transfer their life force into the dead loved one, and this always ends up with the previously dead loved one being perfectly fine and dandy while the previously alive one is dead.
Or those times where the hero âshaves off a few years of their lifespanâ to do some heroic thing.
Or that one time a billion-year-old alien saved Captain John Sheridan but only gave him enough life force to last some forty two years or so.
Like⌠no. Thatâs not how life works.
Life isnât some finite resource that you use up until it runs out.
Itâs finite, sure, but to a certain extent itâs also self-perpetuating, fueled by food and water and oxygen and love, to be stopped only by an outside force or by oneâs own cells dying or rebelling against itself.
You hear all these true stories about people waking up from comas and surviving near-death experiences and ding-dong-ditching Death with medical care, hope, and time. And fictional stories try to tell me that Life is a finite resource that you can take out the cosmic equivalent of a payday loan on? Call J.G. Wentworth 8-7-7 LIFE NOW? Save the world and get the girl for the low, low price of dying ten years early, 2-for-1 deal, order now?
No! thatâs not how life works! Give me a fictional story where life is more like a car battery that recharges with the turning from the tires. Sure, it can get old, and sure it can die, but if you have the proper tools and a willing friend or a kind stranger, you can jump-start it back to life and with the proper medical attention to take care of whatever caused the death to happen, keep the wheels turning long enough for the battery to stand on its own two feet.
And maybe that person will never be quite the same again. Maybe the Life force donor will need life support for a while too. Maybe neither of them will ever be quite as strong as before.
But theyâre both alive.
And thatâs what matters, in the end.

Iâve seen this post a bunch and never once did I consider a scenario where it wasnât about a woman.
hey. Wanna hear something funny

An Interview with Richard Siken
By popular demand: He eat a Wawamelon
my apologies to all the Gasters I didnât include here but very much wanted to
please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.
you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.
first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.
now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:
in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.
and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.
and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.
it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:
⢠infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.
⢠youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.
⢠only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.
⢠manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.
⢠journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.
⢠even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.
and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.
what i'm asking:
if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.
if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.
india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.
we can still save her. but only loudly.
reblog. share. don't scroll past.
i don't really like it when western mythological terms are applied haphazardly to essentially unrelated ideas. this is a completely lost battle but a lĂłng is really not a dragon, it is its own thing with only surface level similarities
i especially dislike many works that try to fold all sorts of different mythologies into a single consistent schema because they tend to heavily privilege western conceptions in doing so- see 'dragonology' books twisting basically every mythical reptilian under the sun into the mould of 'a species of dragon', implicitly centring the beowulf-style firebreather as the default from which all other mythologies derive, or basically anything that does worldwide vampire bloodlines
relatedly a qĂlĂn is not a unicorn, a fènghuĂĄng is not a phoenix, and a jiÄngshÄŤ is not a vampire, and it can impede understanding when they're approached from the standpoint of being the 'chinese version' of these concepts from western myth
the problem with writing fantasy is that i have to constantly stop myself from having people say "jesus fucking christ." jesus didn't exist here dammit. i need a fake swear that means the same thing i think
I saw this tiktok on twitter and I just had to đ
@matzahball
For a second I didnât realize it meant âhighâ as in a stonerâI thought âHigh Geologistâ was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

I always gotta reblog the High Geologist once in a while.
I love this too much.
