I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

In 1952, an abandoned shrine was found in the Wakayama prefecture of rural Japan. This temple, known as Rabu Shrine (羅父神宮), appeared in old Edo period maps, but was incorrectly believed to have burned down a century prior. The government undertook a survey, identifying signs of occupation dating as late as the 1920s. The following documents, including a set of postcards and manuscripts written by the young priest Sōkū (桑空), were recovered at the site:

ル祀ミ育神蟲テニ宮神父羅 (At Rabu Shrine, the insect God is raised and worshipped.)

“O Spirits, why must you test our faith so? The Child Shinchū has absorbed one more of us today, yet she will not transform into a God. The elder priest Tōji says we must keep waiting. That the Child still hungers. That the more she takes in, the more divine she will become. And yet, nineteen people has she taken into itself and her shell will not harden. She only grows larger, hungrier.”

ム慰ヲ神キナケワイニ弦管ガモド侶僧ノ宮神父羅 (The Priests at Rabu Shrine soothe the young God with music.) Priest Sōkū pictured left.

“The older faithful of the shrine still remember the elder siblings of Shinchū, and how simple it was to help them grow. A single soul would often suffice, and the union would transform them into beautiful Gods in the shape of scarabs, butterflies, and bees. Yet the Child refuses her ascension, and our numbers dwindle. Her Father does not guide us, blind as he is in his old age. I fear that life is fading beneath his shell, and his spirit readies to depart.”

神ルケ生ノメタガラ我テニ宮神父羅 (Rabu Shrine's Sacred Father, a God living amongst us.)

“Many of the faithful have left the shrine. They feel fear in their hearts that they will be chosen next, absorbed into the Child fruitlessly; they feel anger towards the young God who will not grow, all the while taking their loved ones. They say the disappearances will cause suspicion, that someone will discover the secret of our shrine and, filled with envy, will kill Shinchū’s young siblings, who are yet unready to ascend.”

リ侍チ育ニカヤ健デ池産ノ宮神父羅ハ子ノ神 (The God Children grow healthy in the Rabu Shrine purification pond.)

“There are only three of us left. Those who lost their faith have reneged their vows and left the temple. The rest of us, who remain devout in our worship, have continued uniting with the Child to no avail. Today, it was Tōji’s turn to read his fortune in the Omikuji, and he was awarded the Great Blessing of becoming one with the Child. But he would not accept it. He attempted to flee, leaving his Omikuji tied in the temple lest fate follow him. It took the three of us to bring him back and force him within Shinchū’s soft shell. We pray he may be the last. The faithful need hope to come back.”

羅父神社の羅父神はきみを御子と共に神になるやう選ばれき 共に生ける神となり御子のうちいづるほどわたりはきみを崇拝せむ (GREAT BLESSING: The Sacred Father of Rabu Shrine has chosen you to become a God with His Child. Together, you will become a Living God and live an eternal blissful life, and the people of Rabu Shrine will worship your new name.)

“I am the last one here. Day after day, the Omikuji spares me of the Great Blessing. I feel weary, and my faith is fading. Is the Shinchū really the God they promised? Or is she a demon, using our faith to trick us into feeding her? The Father has stopped moving, and her younger siblings grow weak without our care. I have found myself alone with her. Watching after her does not comfort me as it once did. I have decided to read only one more Omikuji. Let my fate be decided.”

At the time of its discovery, most of the shrine had fallen into ruin as the wooden beams rotted in the humid climate. A single structure was still standing, containing some of the temple’s statues and treasures. Today, only these documents and several photos from the 1952 survey remain.

Another Project Hail Mary post? You bet. This time is me rambling about the stuff i've seen people say about Eridians

"Aw but eridians would be so horrified at how violent and evil humans are"

Eridian history is as complex and varied as human's (canon), there's kind eridians and violent ones, greedy ones, selfless ones, monstruous ones you can't even mention their names in polite company and heroes that have carried their people foward.

For every human killing their own kin for resources, there's an eridian who has torn their own kin apart for fun

For every human who dedicates their life to helping people, there's an eridian who did the same.

Be creative, folks! Make your rocks evil!!

"Eridians don't feel any sexual drive because they just lay eggs next to each other. They must find humanity so disgusting."

That is also mating, folks!! Frogs, fish, etc, also literally just lay their genetic material next to each other, and a few will fight to the death in order to do it. Basically all species have an instinct to reproduce; its a very risky and energy consuming task, there's gotta be a strong drive urging them to do it otherwise they just. Won't. And then go extinct.

Humans aren't gross for being intimate, that's just the catholicism speaking.

"Eridians must get so annoyed at the sheer amount of specific requirements Grace needs to survive"

Their eating habits include:

- finding the specific prey animal with the nutrients you are specifically needing rn

- hunting it down, then tearing it apart with your hands piece by piece

- cracking your carapace in half (exposing you to Every Pathogen), shove said food into your stomach, hurry to seal the wound before you die

- passing out for several hours, completely helpless.

Grace just bites anything edible and swallows, body does the rest.

For every gram of B12 and Vitamin C Grace needs, theres an eridian sick because they couldn't get enough mercury.

Also the life of their planet is so sensitive to enviroment changes, a couple degrees temp drop was devastating (also canon). For an animal that has no carapace and takes damage from EVERYTHING, humans are pretty resilient.

"Eridians scientists would experiment on Grace unethically/Erid would kick Grace out"

My fella. My sibling in everything but blood. Listen to me.

If an intelligent alien came to earth after saving us from certain doom, the scientific community would host a fight pit in order to select the team who will care for/interact with this alien.

Does the alien need more food? Cool the temperature down? Does it need me to sacrifice my kidney to it? Hell, have BOTH my kidneys, have my WHOLE ARM, so long as I get to write about its phisiology.

AND its a scientist alien and wants to study me back???? It'd be the peak of my whole career, id die happy.

If anyone even thinks of sending this thing back to space before it wants to, i'd start biting people.

getting characters into world-endingly intense codependent queerplatonic relationships is literally what life is all about. it is literally what we were put here on this earth to do

[eraserheadadult]

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

[eraserheadadult]

our house was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods so when i decided i didnt want to wear dresses anymore if we were going to some event & my parents insisted i had to wear a dress i would just go hide in the woods. was so committed i almost made us miss a flight once bc my mom packed a dress in my suitcase

i only promised to stop doing this if my parents got me formal boys clothes to wear which eventually they did. i don't feel bad about resorting to violence bc i asked politely and they said no. proud of 10 yr old me for evil annoying lesbian behavior

[the-prophesied-disco-gay]

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

"They're a bad boss/ruler" "They didn't mean to cause harm" "They're just a bully" "They have trauma!" "They were scared" "They're a victim too" "They're a jerk" Awn look who can't say ABUSIVE.

If anyone thinks abusive = irredeemable, that's on them, not me.

If anyone thinks that victims cannot also perpetuate the cycle of abuse and be abusive themselve, that's on them, not me.

If anyone thinks that just because a character doesn't intend to cause harm so that negates all the abuse, that's on them, not me.

Treating the word "abusive" as taboo and reserving it only for extreme, irredeemable, and unforgivable cases, or cartoonishly evil characters, actually hinders victims and makes it harder for people to recognize abuse. It normalizes abusive behavior instead of fostering an awareness that certain things and actions are bad and wrong.
