@electricmeatorchestra presumably, if someone were using a digital menstrual calendar and realized that (1) they were pregnant, (2) they wished to terminate said pregnancy, and (3) they lived in a state where this was not allowed (as, for example, under a law where this would always be prosecuted as fetal homicide), this data could and WOULD be pulled for the sake of their prosecution. the data being unreliable, on the other hand, would serve to the defendant's defense through the impeachment/unreliability of the data itself. for lack of a more eloquent way of putting it, if you have to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt, a history of people fucking with the data DEFINITELY casts some doubt on this lynchpin evidence, does it not?

[homunculus-argument]

There was this guy in the 1800s - I can't remember his name, but his name is recorded somewhere - who honestly argued that if given the choice between a beautiful woman and a heron, deep down in their most earnest true heart, every man would rather fuck the heron. And he got mad when people denied this, continuing to deny this what he had decided must be an universal truth, instead of praising him for being the only one who was brave enough to finally say it out loud. Like he really thought that every single person telling him "Jesse what the hell are you talking about" was not only denying him, but denying themselves their true desires and perpetuating the apparently massive cultural lie that herons aren't fuckable.

Anyway what I'm saying here is that every once in a while whenever you find yourself in a situation where nobody else is willing to agree with something that you consider the most obvious truth, take a moment to meditate on the possibility that perhaps they do mean what they say, and perhaps they are right. Maybe nobody else but you wants to fuck the heron.

Wei Wuxian BECOMES Wei Wuxian

So basically wwx starts to look a bit different

Not a big change at first but he starts to grow a bit taller

Everyone just blames it on a late growth spurt or something

A lot of the Lan disciples don’t really notice a lot changing since Wei Ying visits often (except for the juniors lol, they’re always checking to see when they’ll be taller than wwx)

But then some start noticing his facial features changing a little bit

They become more defined and more clear cut

Wwx doesn’t quite notice this until one day Lan Qiren spots him out of the corner of his eye and immediately enters a defensive fight posture

Odd, but not a lot to worry about. Wwx figures Lan Qiren read too many rules and was now hallucinating

Anyway, one day Wwx decides to begin training his body more, to make sure he stays fit because all of the juniors are very close to leaving him in the dust

So he begins lifting more weights, doing more headstands, practices a tiny bit with his sword

This becomes a small hobby and he soon begins to see the fruits of his labor

In fact, he finally notices how much mxy’s body has changed

It’s taller, stronger, and, dare he say, even more handsome than before

Some other odd occurrences are that sometimes when he meets up with lwj, his husband pauses for a second before refocusing on wwx (wwx blames these mini heart attacks as his husband being so in love with him lmao)

But it isn’t until after about a year of these changes that a very weird thing happened

When he and the Lan juniors were saying goodbye to Jin Ling after a night hunt, JC had shown up to collect his nephew (He’d heard the prey was particularly strong and wanted to make sure A-Ling was okay but he would rather break his own legs than admit that)

But the moment he sees Wwx, he completely freezes

Because, no matter how he sees it, that is no longer Wwx in mxy’s body

That’s Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, the one who promised him to be the Twin Prides of Yunmeng, his brother

That’s the exact face of the brother he killed

Wei Wuxian’s body is exactly the same, whether it be height, strength, facial features, or that stupid smile

Poor Jin Ling is basically dragged by his collar at the speed of light so that JC doesn’t have to look at that face anymore

Now, lwj is very surprised by this turn of events but has somehow fallen even more in love? Like, his hot crush from when he was 16 is back and absolutely jacked? His poor little gay heart might explode lol

Wei Wuxian also realizes that teasing Lan Wangji is the SMALLEST bit easier

For example, one night Wei Wuxian says a flirty line and Lan Wangji just…. needs a moment- to compose himself…. Because…. Holy fuck, you know? (Unfortunately for lwj, he can try all he wants but he’ll never be able to counter against wwx during these moments)

Lan Zhan with pink cheeks and ears when he gets flustered

And when the juniors finally find out this is what the YILING PATRIARCH looked like, they can’t help but think that the cultivation world’s fear might’ve been based on less nonsense than they originally thought

This man looks like he could snap your neck like a fucking cracker

Whenever Sizhui sees him now he can’t help but feel the urge to run towards him at top speeds (Obviously he represses this urge but he can’t stop giving wwx the biggest hugs he can)

Wwx’s wen scar also begins to morph on his skin so he and Lwj have the world’s weirdest matching married couple scars anyone has seen

Wwx loves going out to drink liquor in his past most frequented shops because a shit ton of the shop owners knew him from way back (cue the “you’re really back????? I thought you were dead for good?????” And wwx’s just like “GIVE ME 10 JUGS OF WINE AND I’LL PROVE TO YOU IT’S ME”)

His golden core has also returned to how it was before, which gives him the chance to cultivate the “proper way” and he’s got the opportunity to reach lwj’s level, if not higher

But the juniors are hardly intimidated by this because they know wwx

He might look different, but he’s the same guy who helped them with homework, hunting, and cooking (eh, cooking is debatable. He improved their tolerance for sure tho. Before, they couldn’t even walk into the kitchen if he was making spicy cuisine. Now, they can cut onions while he’s destroying the kitchen so that’s improvement) (still can’t eat it though, unless you want sobbing juniors with red faces while wwx consoles them with glasses of milk)

But if some random person has the audacity to humiliate the ducklings?

Hohohohohohoho, Wei Wuxian shows up right behind them (where did he even come from? No one knows) and can just go, “Say that again.” It FEELS like there is NOTHING stopping him from ripping their tongue out. He could shame the person into never wanting to come out of a cave again……… but mainly he spooks them away and then takes the kids to get chicken wings

Basically, Wei Wuxian BECOMES Wei Wuxian again (still a dork though)

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

2021 is almost over and Galavant is still criminally underrated

[ponyoisms]

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

[thepointlessmasterpiece]

I think that this is known as “delayed decoding” in literary analysis. The term was coined by Ian Watt in the ‘70s, don’t remember the exact year, to describe a technique used by Joseph Conrad in Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness, but a lot of writers picked it up. It’s basically what you described: you present a detailed image but don’t make its moral and psychological relevance obvious. You give facts but not their meaning, not until later, and the revelation can come directly from the characters who suddenly realize what they have observed or it can also be left in the text, to be understood by the reader. You can see why Modernists loved it!

[the-final-sif]

So, some facts to consider:

-> Katsuki Bakugou sweats nitroglycerin from his palms

-> He sweats a lot of it, particularly when in combat/excising (see: the giant bracers he can fill on his arms).

-> Quirks often have negative side effects on their users, usually related to not being immune to some element of the quirk ex: being able to create fire but not being fireproof.

-> Nitroglycerin is used medicinally as a strong vasodilator (lowers blood pressure).

-> Nitroglycerin can lower blood pressure dangerously even at low dosages.

-> While people can build up some immunity to it over time, high exposure like Katsuki would have would still be dangerous. Unless his body had some sort of counter.

-> There’s lots of ways a body could raise blood pressure. One of them? Stress.

-> Stress (adrenaline and cortisol) can significantly raise blood pressure and do so fairly quickly.

My conclusion? Katsuki having No Chill Ever is actually his body’s way of keeping his blood pressure even. He’s constantly at 99/100 stress level for everything because of this. It’s why he does everything so intensely, he’s got near max levels of Adrenaline in him at all times.

Now whether or not this is canon or what canon intended is up in the air, but it’s now my personal canon. Ideal results of this:

-> Katsuki’s stress levels are discovered when he and his classmates/maybe teachers are exposed to a fear/panic quirk that shoots your adrenaline and cortisol through the roof. His classmates are sent into a panicked frenzy, running around and hiding. His teachers are either also panicked or just barely holding on to rational thought through many years of practice. Katsuki…. is just fine? Mostly he’s confused as to what the hell is wrong with everyone else. Whoever they’re fighting isn’t actually that tough without their quirk, so Katsuki takes ‘em down. Everyone is put through medical to determine what happened and why Katsuki wasn’t effected. They discover the quirk didn’t work because like, the quirk is made to take someone from 5-10% stress to a sudden 90-95%. Katsuki has a resting 96.7% or something. The extra 3.3% doesn’t change much.

-> They try to put him on anti-anxiety meds or something to help. He starts to calm down for the first time in his life which lasts all of 5 minutes before he passes out and almost fucking dies from the blood pressure drop.

-> “So you’re telling me being calm for once in my life literally almost fucking killed me?”

“Basically, yeah.”

“Hang on, I need to call my mom. I have an argument to win.”

[homunculus-argument]

Hey, if you have no choice but to infodump, always use characters, never the narrator to tell things to the reader.

This way, if you got something wrong and someone points it out later, you can argue that this character in particular was lying/misremembering/was ignorant of the exact details. You, the author, obviously knew what the real facts were all along.

Where’s the weird Doctor Who fact to round this out?

[kazokuhouou]

There’s a non-canon mockumentary called Doctor Who: Lust in Space in which actors from the classic series try to determine if Doctor Who is sexist.

(Look, you asked.)

I did ask, and now the trifecta is complete.
