If i was Hesero Nelaran I would be so mad at Setheris. Your beloved husband gets banished from court because he got into a tussle with another court buerecrat, and hes sent to the ass end of nowhere to rot to take care of the Emperor's most hated son, and you spend a decade constantly petitioning to have him returned to court, and then, the luckiest thing ever happens. Not only is the Emperor dead, the new Emperor is that kid that your husband has been taking care of, and by all logic he should think of Setheris as a sort of father figure. Not only is your husband coming back, its almost certain that he will soon be catapulted to the highest levels of government, you two are set for life baby.

It takes a while for him to properly meet with you two, makes sense he's very busy. Eventually you get your audience, and hes a very nice young man, gets a bit flustered at you maybe, but hes very polite and everything seems great. Then he refuses to have any audience with your husband for ages, and gives him a relatively minor post UNDER your husband's hated enemy that prevents him from currying any Imperial favor. Then, your husbands enemy launches a full blown coup against the Emperor, and your husband is arrested due to working for him, not great, but Erdrehasivar almost certainly knows that your honorable husband would refuse to join with Chavar, not just for personal spite, but also for moral considerations. Heck, its a rough patch, but perhaps with Chavar out of the way Setheris has a shot at some more influential office again?

Then the Emperor tells you, while youre begging to have him released, that your dipshit husband spent the last ten years beating him and subjecting him to pointless cruelties. The seemingly shoddy treatment your husband has received thus far is suddenly revealed to be surprisingly generous for a hormonal teenager who has suddenly been given near absolute power. What should've been a First Class Meal Ticket for the rest of your political lives is now going to result at best in some far away functionary position with no real influence. I would've killed him.

#the goblin emperor #I just finished it and yeah I bet she had some WORDS after that meeting #WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU ABUSED A KID FOR 10 YEARS #the thing I think that adds insult to injury for #for Hesero here is that her husband absolutely KNOWS why he’s been given the job he has and how he treated Maia #and instead of telling her he has kept her entirely in the dark #like he could have told her the truth and saved her at least some retrospective horror about how she engaged with Maia #but no he decided to let his wife continue to believe he was who she wanted him to be and thought he would get away with it #I think that’s why he was shaking in the last scene we see him: he’s realized that lie has come crumbling down #and while he is aware Maia can kill him with a word I think he’s absolutely petrified of his wife #who now knows he’s a monster who let her embarrass herself to a man who could kill them both with a word #anyway divorce is legal in this universe girl

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

thesaltofcarthage

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

OK lads but. Why is the r slur coming back. It's 2026. Why am I hearing so many of The Youth use this word liberally and at whim. Do you need me to ground you. Do I need to sit you on the naughty step. Do you need me to strap you into the Learning Chair and deliver a 4 hour lecture about the history of the r slur, ableism, and why using that word is neither big nor cool. Or do you just need me to punch you in the mouth.

It's not coming back. It never left. The only difference is more self proclaimed neurodivergent people are trying to justify using it online because they are "reclaiming" it. Despite the fact that it was never theirs to reclaim to begin with.

That's not true. Many people have added comments to this post along the lines of 'lol it never left', and I understand the urge to be flippant, but I think it's actually very disingenuous to pretend that we're not seeing a vast increase in its usage. It may not have disappeared completely, but I, An Old, went a solid 15 years without hearing it even once, and now I see it fairly consistently online and have heard it used IRL on multiple occasions. At no point in these real life instances was it used in an (ill-advised) attempt at reclaiming it; it was a solid 'that thing is r------- and it sucks' derogatory context. I think we're burying our heads in the sand about the potentially troubling reasons for its resurgence when we pretend that this has been the case all along. It absolutely hasn't.

#oh it’s def returned #I def hasn’t left form some circles but I would say in the early 2000s it was heard pretty regurally #then it went to mostly unacceptable except in certain circles #and now it’s back to common insult which SUCKS #ableism

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

fucking-relax

oh, Sisyphus! i got you

Grace, explaining how humans evolved: yeah so basically we evolved to be persistance predators where we would just slowly walk towards our prey and track it until it got so tired it couldn't fight back or run away and then we killed it :)

Rocky, who is an Eridian, an AMBUSH predator, who can't see light and so cannot track things the way humans can, and that doesn't have a lot of stamina and literally won't be able to wake up once they fall asleep: grace what the fuck statement--
