Invisigal is a scumbag, plain and simple. And you know what? Likely no one would have a problem with that if the games narrative actually treated her like the scumbag she is

But that’s exactly the problem, it doesn’t. The games narrative treats her like a poor little meow meow who just can’t help it!! Why would you give her consequences for her actions?? She’s only 27 years old! You can put your dick in her instead! That’ll fix her! That’s what fixes all erratic out of line women! /s

You can do literally whatever you want with your fictional characters forever, this isn’t about “you just can’t handle complex female characters!!” It’s about good writing treating something as it is and calling a spade a spade. Invisigal is a disgusting and deplorable character, but for some reason (the writers fetishes) we’re supposed to just ignore that

"I wish we met sooner" is such a gentle sentiment. I love you so much I not only want you in my future, but in my past too. I want to have known you when we were small stupid kids, have held hands together as we played outside. I want to have stressed out over exams together, nudging a mug of still steaming hot chocolate against your elbow to get you to focus. I want to have told you I love you before I did anyone else. I want to have held you in my arms when all those sad memories you describe to me were still fresh wounds. I want my past to have been full of you, and full of meaningful memories with you. I want my past lives to have been spent with you, whether as two lovers, or two housecats cuddling by the fireplace on a snowy day, or two flowers that just happened to bloom on the same day, next to each other. I want to have consumed your existence and intertwined it with my own since my birth, never to be separated from you for a moment. I want to have loved you throughout it all, for all time.

I Love Completely Unsubstantiated Yet Canon-Plausible Minor NPC x Major Romanceable NPC Ships: Mass Effect edition

specifically I am thinking about how they were both on Horizon when the Collectors attacked, and how Traynor is duly unimpressed with the Alliance farting around instead of keeping her family and home colony safe, which has so much potential for conflict and drama with Daddy's Goodest Marine. then add in Ashley as a plausible "i'm probably bisexual but I have a job so idrc about that rn" type VS Traynor being a canonical "flagrantly seducing ur commanding officer is fine actually" type. I am also enchanted by both of them being very prissy bc the only thing better than 1 high maintenance woman is 2 high maintenance women. and finally of course the sacred principle of I Would Like To See It

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.

[headspace-hotel]

How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others? How much insight do they have into what their own emotions mean and are connected to? What are they focused on during the encounter? How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good

[ohnoitstbskyen]

What do they assume from context and what do they know from experience? What roles are they socially expected to play vs what roles do they think they are expected to play, vs what roles do they want to play vs what roles do they actually play?

If they at any point during the encounter have the thought or emotional impulse of "how would my partner describe this to one of their friends later?", what happens? What would it mean to them to be caught in the act by a stranger? A friend? An enemy? How would they relate to catching someone else in the act?

The answer to "How did these Ancient People do this????" is basically always

1. A lot of dudes. Just a ton of fucking people from beginning to end of the process.

2. Ancient people weren't stupid, they just figured shit out the same way we do: fuck around until you find out.

3. We're gonna plan this out and it's gonna take ten fucking years, and you will cope.

4. Sticks and string are surprisingly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, like moving stuff and making sure things are even and go in the spot you wanted to put them in!

5. I want to make this easier and more efficient to move. If I put this on the round thing and push, it will move. If I put this in water, it will move. If I get some animals and rope and have a whole bunch of them drag it, it will move. All of these things are a better option than one guy trying to pick the whole fucking thing up.

"I'm not calling the people who believe in this conspiracy theory racist" I am. They're racist. Maybe not out of malice, but the fact that they believe in this is in itself racist. These conspiracies are always about brown people. Machu Pichu, the Pyramids, Göbekli Tepe, Easter Island, it is ALWAYS POC. It's never the Parthenon, it's never the Colliseum, despite the fact that these were built around the same time as some of the other sites these conspiracy chucklefucks like to throw around, it's never something fucking European. It's always "primitive people" with "stone tools" and "no understanding of modern engineering" so "clearly someone must have taught them this or given them the technology because CLEARLY they were just too Primitive and Savage to figure it out themselves." Fuck off with that shit.

[lew-basnight]

It's never Stonehenge. It's never "they had enough slaves to brute-force Stonehenge" because that was the druids, who are basically blonde Atlanteans, and the druids-- about which we know virtually nothing-- are a perfect blank canvas on which white people can paint every prescient and brilliant development. Druids could do real magic, they travelled to the new world, they could fly and knew about the hollow earth and... (if I go any further I get into some nazi shit, coincidentally..)

An er doctor that wants to just lounge around does not make me feel confident as a patient

[prussianmemes]

how long and how many days a week do you think ER doctors work. i think they're right to want to just fucking chill. i want a well rested doctor treating me and not one who just pulled a 24 hour shift and then a 12 and another 12 before another 24, with only a few hours of legally mandated breaks inbetween.

[crazy-pages]

Yeah some of us want a 30-hour work week because we've read the experimental research trials. People aren't any less productive and they are happier and less stressed and feel less leisure time pressure.

It turns out that working 40 hours a week is just too much. Full stop, no ifs ands or buts. The tiredness and loss of focus it induces is enough that you're about 25% less productive per hour when you're on a 40-hour work week, and so the extra 10 hours a week cancels out. This effect is a little bit more pronounced for white collar work and a little bit less pronounced for blue collar work, but there's functionally not enough of a difference to care. And people who are working more than that actually become less productive in total.

The thing is that you don't immediately gain the benefits of being fully rested and focused by working less on just one day, or even one week. It can even take months to settle into the pattern of higher productivity per working hour, and that's frankly miraculously quick given that full burnout can take years to recover from. And during that transition you will be less immediately productive. Particularly for people who pride themselves on being hard workers and how much overtime they put in, the notion that working less can get just as much done can feel absurd and even insulting. Because it seems so painfully obvious that you get less done when you do less, and any experiences of being invited to do so feel like they back that up.

But it's true. We are all simply working more than we need to, pointlessly, to no benefit at all. It is an appallingly pointless waste of human life.

Shortened Work Weeks: What Studies Show

The results of several workplace surveys may defy expectations, but the data is clear: shortened work weeks can work for businesses and empl

[addamatic]

Also, I don’t actually care if someone is less productive working 30 hours a week or 20 hours a week. We do not need endless productivity and it’s bad for the earth and bad for people. We would be completely fine if everyone was half as productive. Literally we would be better off. It does not matter that a 30 hour work week is as productive as a 40 hour work week. Reject that framing!

[tbposting]

when i am going to the ER for something i want the doctor who sees me to be FUCKING WELL RESTED please

i want that motherfucker on his A-game. i want his ass alert and awake and with energy and attention span to spare. if i'm coming in with something that turns out to be serious, i don't want to end up dead on the floor because the doctor who saw me was on his third consecutive 20 hour shift and barely holding his brain together with spit and toothpaste

Controversial art take but there isn't a single Woody Allen movie worth a damn. You can go read the plot of every movie he's ever made and it's like "incel main character (who happens to look and act exactly like Woody Allen) gets sad because he is or isn't fucking some 19yo girl" and that's it. Loser men who can't date women over 21 circle jerk films. Lauded only by a room of fellow white male pedophiles clapping their hands and going "cinema! Cinema!"
