I can't get over how human Simon was. He apologised for his outbursts, even when punching the sub at one point, he repeatedly apologised for the radiation in the exact same way like he was still reeling from the shock of that information. Whenever the oxygen ticked down you can see a new wave of horror washing over him that he needs to take a second to cope with. When Ava gives him the login details he stumbles on remembering control-shift-9 never mind the password she rattled out.

They managed to present a man with a dark past and anger issues who is also not a monster. He is a human being desperate to survive and nobody even knows his name anymore. The closest thing he had to a family he resents but still obviously misses terribly as he clings to that pendant and shakes.

And Ava. Ava too. She's in an impossible situation. She doesn't want more humans to die. She has no idea how much damage radiation has done to her. This man, who she thought was a heartless killer, is begging and pleading and apologising like a child and it's getting increasingly harder to lie to him that he's going to be ok. Her screaming and begging that this is bigger than him is so achingly desperate I can still feel it, humanity is almost entirely gone. I fully believe that she hates this as well, all of it, but if she doesn't follow orders and take calculated risks then what else is there to keep her tethered and sane? What else can she cling to? They're almost entirely alone in an empty universe. She needs this hope.

I need ppl to realize that even if you are also disabled, using the r slur as an insult towards another person who is neurodivergent or otherwise disabled is ableism, actually

some person: “ugh ur such an r-slur for not knowing x”

another person: “that’s ableist”

some person: “no, I’m neurodivergent, it’s okay when I say it cuz I’m reclaiming xo stop being a hater”

no??? you are using it to degrade someone, that’s like, most definitely using it in an ableist way, not ‘reclaiming’ it.

The more I think about the debates people have about Natlan’s technology, the more insane it actually sounds cause like…

These two guns get produced by the thousands but people are pressed that one very intelligent woman figured out how to build a single flaming motorcycle, turntables, and a magical flying gun.

You know what probably would’ve been helpful in 5.1 during the night war?

Natlan had hot air balloons and human grit. Not to mention, still relies on a torch system to know if people make it back home cause ya know, street lights aren’t a thing there.

It needs to be studied how a couple of Xilonen’s inventions broke so many players minds into thinking Natlan is greater than or equal to the technological progress of nations with robots that patrol 24/7 and actual artillery. Also let’s not forget…

A completely autonomous puppet that was built centuries ago used the power of a nation’s intranet, scholars, and science to build a mechanized god body that not only worked, but was deemed by another god to be legit. But we drew the line at a flaming motorcycle made with ancient tech.

Does it look a little silly? Yeah. Is it any crazier than Raiden Shoguns second phase? No. That thing doesn’t even have a gnosis. Ei built that monster just cause she could!

Shogun: Come on, Ei. Nobody actually believes that Sara is in love with me.

Ei, to The Squad: Raise your hand if you think that Sara is helplessly in love with Shogun.

*Everyone raises their hand*

Shogun: Sara, put your hand down.

hate what people did to the dead dove tag

[vulturevanity]

mothers and fuckers of the jury. "Dead dove: do not eat" is a label on a bag in the fridge. It means "the content of this bag is exactly what is labeled". It does not mean "trigger warning uhhh something". In fact, it means the exact opposite of "trigger warning uhhh something", because you use it with other tags. You write a fucked up fic with extreme violence and gore, you tag it as "extreme violence", "gore" and you tag it with "dead dove: do not eat". You write a fic with emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation, you tag it with "emotional abuse", "gaslighting" and "dead dove: do not eat". You write a fic with your extremely niche kink that appeals to like 3 other people and may skeeve out the rest of the fandom, you tag that with your kink and "dead dove: do not eat". It's so people know you really mean the content warnings.

It's NOT a catch-all term for "uhhh this may be fucked idk". TAG YOUR SHIT GENEROUSLY.

The meetings in the new Archon Quest feel like a gathering of introverts. Most of these people either avoid socializing or only do so for business purposes. You have Albedo who lives on a frozen mountain, Mini Durin who just became human and has no idea what he is doing, Dainsleif who has not interacted with this many people in 500 years, Nefer who would rather be anywhere else but there, Flins who hangs out in a haunted graveyard every day & night, Jahoda who has never had a single friend until recently, Columbina who hid in a cave alone for many years, Lauma & Varka who actually know how to socialize since they are leaders, and the Traveler who lets Paimon do the talking most of the time. What a group.

hanahaki disease in the Neath would be actually so fucked, wouldn't it? like there's absolutely no way it wouldn't be some kind of horrific invention of Hell, commissioned by the Masters to force more love stories for the Bazaar

at the very least though, I think a Kataleptic Toxicology expert could treat it, given that a major domain of KataTox is the ability to manipulate abstract things like emotion and identity as if they were physical substances. poison is in the dose - a skilled KataTox expert could probably make a medicine that treats the disease by killing the romantic feelings themselves. though I'm pretty sure the Masters would Not be pleased with this - "I took meds and they helped me get over my crush" is hardly a Grand Story Of Tragic Love(tm), after all

(and ofc it's doubly fucked if you can trigger the disease with moon-milk-induced infatuation. absolutely horrible way to assassinate someone, temporarily or permanently (because I'm pretty sure having plants grow in your lungs would eventually fuck you up badly enough to send you to the Far Shore))

anyway I have an ES pitch,

THE SELFCEST BRACKET IS ON! AND I NEED YOUR HELP

Get excited gamers, I’ve decided that I am in fact going to move forward with the hoyoverse selfcest bracket. I’m hoping to get to a full 32 ships to pit against each other, but I’m coming up a little short. If y’all have any favorite selfcest ships (especially rarepairs that maybe I wouldn’t have considered at first), please drop them in the comments or tags!

I specifically need more pairings from genshin and ZZZ, as I’m less familiar with those games than the Honkais. But Honkai loves selfcest so I’m happy to hear other pairings from those games too XD and screw it, I don’t know a damn thing about Tears of Themis, but if they have selfcest there too I’m more than happy to include those pairings as well!

I’m so looking forward to this bracket, pls tell all your friends and mutuals (:

I do really think that the use of ChatGPT and genAI by students highlights the fundamental flaw of our education system focusing almost entirely on grades and test scores rather than generating curiosity and inquiry, which produces individuals who fundamentally do not understand that the purpose of an assignment is meant to be to learn *how* to do something, not simply to produce a product you can turn in to get an A+

Happy indigenous peoples day!

i get that people are more comfortable with defined rules and structure but i also think queer people lost when they started resorting to dictionary definitions for what labels mean

[crescairis]

the queer umbrella is meant to deviate from the norm of rigid boxes and definitions and to decide that lesbian means Only this, bi means Only this, etc, is directly contradicting what queer means. each and every label is going to have a unique meaning to the person using it and that is how it's supposed to be. if you're not comfortable with that...sorry?

[crescairis]

basically if someone tries to tell you you're using a label wrong:

no you're not

eat them

[crescairis]

[image description: a set of tumblr tags from @/elinaline, reading: "#there is a way to use a label wrong actually; #its when you force it on someone else". end image description.]

this is the only answer i'll accept thank u everyone for your participation <3

[starschizo]

the older i get the more i start hating that "traumadumping" is seen as a toxic behaviour when its actually a blatant sign that that person is struggling.

like idk about you but if my friend or aquaintance starts textwalling me on discord about their family abusing them as a child or something, my first thought isnt "ugh this is so inconsiderate of them. toxic" its "oh no i think my friend is having emotional flashbacks :(" regardless of if i have the energy to engage with them about it at the time.

[starschizo]

this isnt even getting into how minorities are often treated as though theyre "traumadumping" just for talking about their lived experiences in a deeply bigoted society. specifically thinking of disabled people at the moment but i feel its also applicable to most other oppressed groups.
