Weiss Schnee from The Dark Forest AU!!!!

In this AU The Schnees are a very high status-borderline royalty-family, so very fancy outfits. This look is just one of several for Weiss in the story~

"this is an inaccurate adaptation" okay but is it good "this didn't happen in the book" does it make sense in the context of the new work though "they totally changed the plot" and is the new one good or bad "it's completely different" not what I asked "they changed all the stuff I like" then I get why you wouldn't be into it but I'm asking about its own artistic merits "this character is meant to be blonde" I couldn't give less of a fuck

As someone in WI, this whole region is awful so please be careful friends! (7/16/2026)

Please put on your N95s. The same ones used for covid will filter particulate pollution. I lived in a city with yearly winter pollution levels like this. If you can pay for it, you might as well get an indoor air filter to sleep in.

[garbage-empress]

If you can't afford a proper air purifier or can't find one in stock, these are sometimes cheaper to build:

Make sure you get the best rated furnace filters you can. If getting all those is too expensive, even one of those furnace filters taped tightly to a box fan (to force the air through the filters so it doesn't come in through the cracks) can help pretty substantially in a small room.

“It’s easy to assume”: someone’s misconception is about to be amiably corrected

“It’s tempting to assume”: someone’s assumption is about to be criticized

“It’s comforting to assume”: someone’s assumption is going to be read for filth

@21st-century-minutiae something for your blog?

[21st-century-minutiae]

The above is explaining three semantically similar statements with different connotations, in decreasing order of prevalence. In the early twenty-first century, native English speakers would understand the connotations implicitly, and would not need the detailed explanation of the above, which draws from the pattern.

In all cases, these statements serve as the prologue to some correction for a mistaken assumption, as explained above.

In the first case, the word "easy" is used to emphasize that the mistake is common, natural, and understandable, and that there is no shame for being mistaken on the given matter of topic. This is a very common turn of phrase.

In the second case, the word "tempting" is used to emphasize that the mistake is born out of some desirable motive. The biases that caused one to form the mistaken assumption as potentially sympathetic to the corrector. This is an less common, but known, turn of phrase, implying a harsher critique.

In the third case, the word "comforting" is used to emphasize that that the only reason someone is making an assumption is because they are coddling their own biases, even though any attempt at thinking things through would prove it irrational. It is the equivalent of accusing someone of sticking their head in the sand, like an allegorical ostrich. "Read for filth" is an idiomatic expression meaning to offer full, unfiltered criticism of something, ripping it apart. This is even less common to use, but the point would be understood as being a prelude to the harshest criticism of the three.

nona and pash funniest dynamic of all time. what if you were a perfect killing machine groomed by a violent insurgency organisation from birth with a very concrete and all-consuming hatred of your government and their species which has been drilled into you by everyone you know and care for your whole life. and then a member of said species shows up on your doorstep and despite the fact that you keep telling her how repulsive and inherently evil she is she won’t stop looking at you with these big dreamy lovesick googoo eyes

do you think vader kept ahsoka’s lightsaber until the end. do you think he had nightmares about his padawan that wasn’t his padawan going down with that ship. (she was his padawan, he was sure the clones wouldn’t best her. he was right) do you think he saw her trapped in that mangled wreckage, calling for anakin to save her. do you think he had troopers search what was left of that venator for days, looking for her body. do you think he was relieved or disappointed when they didn’t find anything. do you think he kept her saber locked in a box in a safe place on mustafar. do you think he brought it out on the nights when the pain and the nightmares were too much. (i don’t know you anymore. anakin, you’re breaking my heart. you were my brother, anakin! i loved you.) do you think he ever thought about the fact that of the few people he cared about most, she was the only one that didn’t know of his fall to the dark side. do you think after he learned she was alive he brought her saber out and repaired and polished it. (why? it’s not like she would take it back even if she saw him again. but it made him feel a little like anakin, just for a moment.) do you think after malachor he couldn’t get himself to get rid of it but he also couldn’t stand looking at it. (i won’t leave you. not this time, she said. but she did.)
