Three yaks dance in Lhasa city (cr 情满拉萨,吉吉)(If you do not reside long-term in a high-altitude environment, please avoid intense physical activity at high altitudes, as it may trigger altitude sickness.)
i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”
The first attested cat in Japan was given to a young 9th century emperor and his diary about it includes such gems as 'I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.", "The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink.", "When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk." and "I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.” Basically posting about how his void is the best little void and so good at getting really round
It's always "stop harming yourself or we'll have to lock you up!!!" and never "what do you need to change to want to harm yourself less and how can we help you make some of these changes?" and that's why we're not getting anywhere
fun fact uncontacted peoples are not ignorant they are fully aware of the "outside world" and are CHOOSING not to have contact because they (rightly) feel it would add no value to their lives and place them in an exploited position. it's voluntary. they are isolated on purpose.
sentinelese people aren't like some ignorant noble savages, or actual savages who are all about warfare and killing (wildly racist take i see very often), they are literally regular ass fucking people who have seen the exploitation of their neighbors (other andamanese people) AND the massive disease outbreaks caused by contact, and decided they want no part in that. they are literally regular people choosing to survive. that's it.
glad that this is getting traction, but if you're saying things like "yeah, and they are right! modern society is a curse! they are living The Right Way and are more enlightened have better lives than us!" you are also the people i'm talking about. sorry. they are regular people living regular lives. please internalize this fact and stop exoticizing.
[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over
He's not lying on purpose to trick others, he genuinely believes it
Even said it to Ranma's face one time he happened to run into him
Got sent flying, he still says it
Shampoo, after getting over Ranma, thinks he's a fucking idiot and they haven't talked since
Ukyo stayed on friendly terms, on the other hand
Also thinks he's a fucking idiot though
Shinnosuke thinks back fondly to the little time he shared with Akane, too bad he never told her how he felt, but he was such a shy boy at the time
Ryoga's not delusional about taking Akane away from Ranma anymore, but still stutters when talking to her if they happen to meet
Akane still wonders why he seems to only to that with her
Kodachi doesn't even remember Ranma's face, she's haracrushed on over 500 guys after him before getting with the white lily
If prompted to recall "the martial artist with the pigtail from when she was 16" she'll eventually reply with "oh yes, he kept pestering me, some people really can't get a clue"
Ranma has grown and matured so he won't chase Kodachi around to reminder of the truth
He will however grumble "SHE was chasing ME" for the rest of the day
It is with great excitement that I announce that The Edge of the World is finally being updated after an extremely annoying break of a couple of months. But this won't simply be a chapter drop! OH NOOOO!!!
To make up for my absence, this update will come in THREE PARTS. (No, who am I kidding, the word count is exactly why this took so long.)
Here's what the schedule looks like!
Data Point: Maybe Life is Worth Living (2.7k) Seyka POV
DROPPING TONIGHT, MAY 28TH!!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO!!
Seeds of the Past: Part I (Aloy POV) (17k)
Dropping this Saturday, May 30th!
Seeds of the Past: Part II (Aloy POV) (13k)
Dropping Monday, June 1st!
Please don't ask me for a timezone. I'm just a poor sedan.
And that brings this update's total word count to a whopping……
TA-DAH‼️‼️‼️‼️
I'm not dropping them all AT ONCE because I'm still formatting everything for AO3, and I figured a break of a day or two would give these chapters some room to breathe. But they are thankfully, FINALLY, after one hell of an uphill battle, DONE.
I'd also like to thank Tori for her relentless support, drive, and kindness throughout the beta-reading process. I genuinely could not have done this without her. And also @medusas-left-tit, for the unwavering encouragement and support whenever I felt particularly stumped.
A big, big, BIG hug to all members of Seyloy Nation (and to you, the reader!) for making my life worth living. I love you all so much, and I'm incredibly thankful for the response this fic has received. It felt fitting to share this long update on the fic's one-year anniversary. I can't believe how far we've come, and I still have so much left to share. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you enjoy the read!
Let me get this right: TERFs complained that a trans woman was listed as a woman in Parliament, so Parliament officials removed the search-by-gender function on their website to avoid conflict… then TERFs blamed the trans woman for something she had nothing to do with?
Gotta be honest, I don't get why people are so mad about that Kylo Ren reveal.
Like, here's some edgy villain, a Darth Vader clone, you expect that when the mask drops there's something equally edgy, and then he takes off the mask and there's just a dude.
And I feel like this was one of the actually good things that movie did, showing how there's some literally who looking mf mythologizing the villain into a hero status and larping Old Times while missing the entire point of what was going on back then.
Totally fictional concept of course. I'm sure that it never happens in real life.
its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"
dreamt that i went to a car dealership and Light Yagami and L were there and I saw L first so I went "woah are you L death note?" and L went "L what?" and light went " L WHAT."
actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.
