"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something

take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)

the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it

but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first

comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now

please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection

Can’t wait to see Azune’s daddy issues materialize into a deeply complex crush on the rebellious older king of the neighboring country.

just to add even more delight to that final azune roll, I'd like to remind everyone that he has a +6 to persuasion, which would combine with the +11 bonus and nat 20 to mean he rolled a whopping 37 on the persuasion check overall.

fanfic that I like

fanfic that is none of my business

It looks like Wicander is locked in to be at the Schemers Table for the next round, seeing as Yanessa doesn't intend to let him out of her sight.

So, barring any big reveals of Wick's true allegiances (which no one who isn't in on it has working evidence to prove them), I don't think he's got much push to sneak back out of Dol-Makjar and burn his bridges in a way Yanessa cannot fail to clock after his successful lie. And even if Yanessa did let/send Wick out of Dol-Makjar, I think you could only openly send Azune with Wick and Tyranny, which would also be a bit out of left field for a new table arc to be done so immediately when we've already got some big threads to follow, unless it's headed the same way.

However, I would say that Tyranny is not locked for Schemers.

As the proven competent Aspirant demon sister, I could see Yanessa sending Tyranny to "hunt" down Kattigan and/or Teor, tie up those loose ends and/or gather more information about their goals for Yanessa, allowing Tyranny to join whatever table either one is at without too much fuss.

Whether or not Tyranny would want or be willing to take such a job and be separated from Wick remains to be seen. If she doesn't want to help where she's not at Wick's side, I don't think she'd be completely prevented from trying to talk Yanessa into keeping her on task protecting Wicander.

im up to wick's talk with yanessa and god im loving the complete like. inverted parallels here between wick's relationship with his family and occtis' relationship with his family

both families are directly saying "you were a failure and i've finally found a use for you so you are never escaping us there is no choice in the matter", but as ever, tachonis go about things by killing first and just doing what they like now you metaphysically have no choice in the matter, and halovar have a whole creepy-in-how-bright-and-pleasant-it-is sermon about forgiveness, but they are the exact. same. thing.

and like these houses have been inverted parallels of each other since their inception! but god it's fun to see in this context specifically

I was already losing it at Brennan’s rendition of a theater director, but “Remember the people coming tomorrow to watch this are priests, subtlety is not your friend!” made me laugh so hard I had to pause the video.
