sometimes I have to stop myself from posting shit like "who made replacing a bike chain so erotic" because I remember the number of people who see my posts and I have to take a step back and reconsider my choices. sometimes I have to hide my true and sincere thoughts in a post about how I'm not posting them because it is funnier this way
whatever. it's just reaching between all its delicate parts to wrench out its guts with lots of sweating and straining. while it's upside down and immobilised. and then it's just taking the slick and shiny new chain and feeding it gently through gears and between metal before pulling it taut until the derailleur is extended and the chain clicks into place and can no longer be removed. I; think I'm bicycle. I mean bisexual

Fuck Meyer-Briggs whatever typology. This INTFP shit is only for redditors up their own asses to substitute for a personality. Use my new typology instead!
Roy Mustang really spends the whole series fancying himself being in some sort of Usurper Rivalship with Bradley only for Bradley's interactions with Mustang to be, "Okay Mustang sit in that office chair while I evil-monologue at you. Do it again. Okay now go away I have to go fight tanks with my swords and then get slaughtered by a holy man of the people I genocided, which will leave my dictator chair wide open."
And then Mustang doesn't even get the dictator chair.
#truly bradley has such contempt for mustang it's very funny#and part of this contempt is rooted in the fact that like. they're both puppets. they're not technically opposed#mustang is wrong when he thinks bradley is his nemesis#bradley's nemesis is indeed scar#not just bc bradley genocided his people#but because bradley is 'wrath' and wrath is scar's fatal flaw that he must overcome#(wow i should write a fic about thisOH WAIT-)#you'd think this means Father is mustang's nemesis.#WRONG AGAIN!#father is hohenheim's nemesis - obviously.#then who is mustang's nemesis? is it truth?#no! truth is ed's nemesis.#mustang's nemesis is: GRUMMAN!#and grumman fucking wins by a landslide#AS FORETOLD by their original chess game where grumman obliterated him#thank you and goodnight - via @parkersgeorg
Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.
If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.
I am hoping that this is some sort of exaggeration or oversimplification because this is just blatant erasure of a major element of Greek culture and replaced by a more Christian version and I want to bang my head into a wall. Thatās not what xenia is, and you just erased a major part of the Odyssey.
@watchanddream Sure! This got a bit lengthier than I intended, but I wanted to try and be thorough.
Put far too simply, xenia is the practice of hospitality, but it's also a ritual and in a sense a contract between guest and host. When a stranger arrives at your doorstep, you're expected to feed them and give them a gift as the host. Typically, you're not even supposed to ask them their name until they've finished their meal. Once you've done this as the host, the guest is now expected to share stories and information about themselves, and not burden you or your household. Typically, people focus on how hosts violate xenia, but guests can also violate xenia.
This is called a guest-friendship, and once it's established, you are expected to offer the same to your host should they ever visit. It's a ritual of hospitality, yes, but it's also used to establish alliances and can be passed down through generations. For example, in the Iliad, when Glaucus and Diomedes discover that their grandparents were guest-friends, they decide not to fight, but rather exchange armor.
Theoxeny is a common story you see in myth where a god (typically Zeus) disguises themselves as a mortal and requests to be hosted by someone. Should the host follow the rules of xenia, they'll be rewarded, but if they fail, they'll be punished or killed.
This is important to the Odyssey, as it comes up multiple times, but in particular, the cyclops, and the suitors. In both these instances, Odysseus arrives disguised and gives a false name, the practices of xenia are failed, and Odysseus reveals himself and punishes the one that failed to follow xenia. The suitors in particular fail xenia, as they both fail as hosts, AND as guests, for burdening Odysseus's household.
Xenia being treated as the golden rule comes across to me like a Christian reinterpretation, as while many Greek philosophers did have something similar to the golden rule, those were philosophers, and the idea that it's a religious command from a god seems much more in line with a Christian idea of where the rule comes from. (Note, I'm aware that other religions had something similar, even as a command from a god, but I highly doubt Nolan is drawing inspiration from those instances)
i get why mikey can seem so docile and like reserved/waiting for instructions.
imagine having anal retentive gerard as your only playtime partner. god the horror.
a 10 year old menace shouting āyouāre playing hoth wrong. you could never enter a tauntaun in that position the torso is too small in the z direction. and also youāre not shivering enoughā in 20 degree weather. like okay why donāt You tell me what to do and iāll do it jesus christ.
this is also why mikey like. never breaks on stage when gerard is having a theater girl moment. like yes we laugh at š«¶. but pay attention to mikey when gerard is up to some post mama acting like he is stone faced and locked in and thatās because gerard has drilled into him that this is not just a game do you want to do this for real or not. because iām not playing if youāre gonna laugh iām going inside
okay if this breaks containment I think my asian grandparents would be proud of this post being my legacy. but for their sake i must clarify my personal stance. NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE AT ALL
