You are a deity newly ascended. Your predecessor has perished, and their domain (now yours) is in shambles. Instead of repairing it first, you went down to the world and did the dirty practical work instead of the grandiose, aloof things other deities do.

Spacetime 'Crystals' Could Collapse Into Tiny Black Holes, Wild Paper Explains

Right on the brink of black hole formation, spacetime can get downright peculiar.

Right on the brink of black hole formation, spacetime can get downright peculiar. This is where familiar physics can become unnervingly strange, and understanding how cosmic processes play out often requires more esoteric math and creative solutions. Now, physicists have mathematically described, for the first time, a quirk of spacetime geometry at the black hole formation threshold.

The thing about radical kindness (or any kindness, for that matter) is that there are going to be times when someone or something makes you regret it. There are going to be times when you show someone empathy and grace that they don't "deserve". There are going to be times when someone takes that kindness and uses it against you. The world doesn't magically transform into a perfect place when you decide to choose kindness and people will take advantage of it. People will continue to be shitty.

But the thing is...that's not a flaw of kindness. That's not a you problem. That's a them problem. People who are happy with themselves and their lives don't go out of their way to misuse someone's kindness or grace. The "normal" response to kindness or empathy is not to find a way to exploit it. People who are happy with themselves don't look for ways to hurt people for no reason. Kindness will never be the problem. No matter what some shitty person decides to do with it. It should go without saying not to be a doormat, yes. Don't allow people to treat you badly just for the sake of being kind. But also don't let shitty people make you bitter because of how they treated you when you were kind.

People will make you regret being unkind too and that one usually hurts a lot more

Revolutionary Girl Utena AU

Skids finds the strength to confront his past through kindness, and in the end, becomes someone who wants to protect that kindness in return. Through his patience, empathy, and quiet understanding, Rung helps Skids learn how to understand and accept himself. That gentleness gives Skids the courage to finally face the parts of himself he once tried to run from.

And once he gains that courage, what he wants to protect is no longer some grand ideal — it’s Rung himself, and the quiet kind of kindness that keeps caring for everyone else while rarely being cared for in return.

Also I do think Rung has a little bit of Anthy Himemiya-esque hidden slyness to him ^^

He jolts awake with a painful, full-body twitch, disoriented and still somewhat caught within dreams.

…

…Oh, he is going to purge his tanks.

Time to frantically untangle himself from the berth and scuttle to the washrack.

Most of the silly faces i made of Roddy in the comic, which I realize is like 80% of Roddy excluding the 3 first pages, its in a chronological order, man i have... drawn Roddy so much now i have lost count, not a singular flirty face in these

honestly makes me very satisfied to see my faces really started to get fixed once i started on this comic

"I think they're hoping you'll give them snacks, honestly." Look at them. Begging with their optics. Greedy things.

"We can't possibly have snacks now. It's just about evening fuel, they'll ruin their appetites."

Rung tips his helm, considering.

"I've seen that expression before. Hm..."

"I suppose, living in an old temple..."

"It explains why I keep finding Sweeps in the corners."

Good rule of thumb is the more people of different backgrounds you know, the harder it becomes to dehumanize them, so its a really good thing to meet people from different backgrounds, and anyone telling you that people from x culture or y country you really shouldnt interact with probably dont have your best interest in mind
