There is absolutely a platonic explanation for that

When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.

phantomrose96

people killed: 0

direct orders of "you really really need to kill this guy" ignored: 1

ongoing murders being committed by Ed's own friends/colleagues that Ed got in the way of to specifically stop that murder from happening: 2

God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.

it's very frustrating seeing otherwise well-structured posts about media literacy and critical thinking bookended with statements about "nowadays", "nobody has literacy anymore", "this generation is so anti-intellectual", and the like, unquestioningly falling into better past fallacies.

Do we really think the 80s and its Satanic Panic were better at critical thinking? what about the 40s? the Victorian era? societies have always had problems with critical thinking and literacy, because most societies have dealt with propaganda, corrupt leadership, difficulty providing education (due to poverty or discrimination or other issues), and/or people who resist critical thinking (due to privilege or circumstance or what have you). we can criticize media trends without pulling a "well back in the GOOD OLD DAYS" about it.

Hey so like there's no way the word Rocky uses for Adrien actually translates to "mate" right. Like he is for sure saying "partner" and Grace is being a freak about it for literally no reason

#project hail mary #phm #ryland grace #rocky phm #WHY would it be mate. Grace translating it as wife would make sense in a stupid heteronormative way #mate is crazy. grace explain yourself statement

It's just that "surprisingly sophisticated understanding of magical theory due to all the Lurking" Gennady remains so incredibly funny. I hope he's out here leaning over student papers whispering "you're wrong about thaumaturgic resonance" in their ears like an auriga telling Caesar he's mortal. Important to me is that he doesn't know this is at all menacing he's being helpful

#the cursebreakers #madaleine nakamura #gennady richter #he's so special to me #it's just that being one of adrien's students 🤝 being one of caleb widogast's students #confused but ride or die by week two #but somewhat afraid it's gonna be die

i've always wondered what human speech would look like visually in the POV of eridians in the same way eridian speech is written as music notes in the book and my favorite version of it i've seen in fics is when words are written as phonetics in rocky's POV :-) oh and also that one post about rocky and grace figuring out random words they can say in the other's language

Can't believe there's no fic for The Cursebreakers series (Madaleine Nakamura) on ao3. You guys had ONE job

#the cursebreakers #please..... it's about my son with every disorder and his emotional support 19 year old..........#he gets a boyfriend in book two and you fuckers have written NO horny fic about it #the emotional support 19 year old has an off brand daemon why are we sleeping on this #it was made for me in a laboratory

Do Eridians know they are different colours. I bet Grace's alien kids love finding out what colour they are. It means absolutely nothing to them but they're like :O :O

penny-anna

Some of them think he's making this whole 'colour' thing up to mess with them and try to catch him out by asking again on a different day to prove he's just saying random noises but he's like you are still blue buddy and they're like :O :O

penny-anna

Like if we met an alien species who had extra senses & they said that some humans felt spingly and some humans felt spoingly I bet we'd all want to know if we were spingly or spoingly humans

#project hail mary #in a similar vein I bet the kids have sound based strategies to get away with misbehaving #like there's a spot in the room where the accoustics mean you can do the equivalent of hiding your phone under the desk or whatever #and every time he has to be like bud. I can see you.#and they're like :O!!!!!

"Assumed to not have any natural predators besides their juveniles" is a statement that's most definitely supposed to be taken as "the babies were of more edible sizes than the adults", but for one horrific second made me worry if there was somehow a species whose carnivorous youth actively hunted the herbivorous adults🥲
