Yes, this is the true ending 🌱

"lying is wrong" what evangelical nonsense is this???

per anon’s request, i present to you THE best version of beatrice’s monologue in much ado about nothing. i thought about cropping this but decided this scene must be watched in its full glory

This is what an evil boop looks like.

I absolutely think adults, especially parents, ascribe manipulative intent to children when they shouldn't and it's absolutely a problem but it's always kind of funny to me when people go online and proclaim that children are incapable of manipulation. When I was three I asked my mom to get my older sibling their favorite candy bar at the grocery story because I knew she'd get me mine too as a reward for being thoughtful and that was way more likely to succeed than if I just asked for a candy bar for me. And it worked. Children scheme at a developmentally appropriate level the trick is not assuming children scheme at an adult level.

i think i'm okay with any pronouns however the ones you choose to refer to me with will effect the ending you get so make sure to read the guide if you're trying to unlock all of them

HIGH ON STANDARDS LOW ON SKILL. CREATIVE PROCESS MAKE YOU ILL

loudly going "YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE GOOD" to myself to ward off the memory of every embarrassing thing i've ever done

It me. Mildly domesticated but longing for the outdoors.

I’ve seen a lot of videos going around of urban-dwelling critters coming to humans for help with various problems, ranging from boxes stuck on their heads to young trapped down a storm drain, and it’s gotten me to thinking:

On the one hand, it’s kind of fascinating that they know to do that.

On the other hand, setting any questions of how this sort of behaviour must have arisen aside for the nonce, does it ever strike you how weird it is that we’ve got a whole collection of prey species whose basic problem-solving script ends with the step “if all else fails, go bother one of the local apex predators and maybe they’ll fix the problem for no reason”?

:( I didn't catch that first read. Man, Jod really is just lies on lies.

Jod promising Harrow that her conception by genocide is no one's business:

Jod a few months later casually mentioning it to a room of people including his worst enemy:

In a way that implies Augustine and Mercy at least have already been told? That's just rude.

When will it be my turn?! 😫

Anolis Aquaticus (By: Lindsey Swierk)

I'm convinced if I suddenly gained the ability to swim like this it would fix all my problems. Just imagine...staying in my own (swimming) lane, vibing with my emotional support watermelon and putting in minimal effort. Perfection.

Maybe for Jod to finally die, he has to stop being loved by Alecto?

Hold on. Hold on. Noticing a pattern.

Jod said when they were shutting down the cryo project, the bodies that didn't rot were the ones that he personally said goodbye to, the ones he loved.

Jod cannot die, has not been able to die in ten thousand years. Alecto assures him, "I still love y—" .

The cavaliers of Lyctors, as evidenced by Naberius and Gideon, their bodies don't rot.

Tamsyn Muir assured us, regarding Alecto, we have not begun to see the horrors of love.

Eels have a mouth with teeth inside of their mouth with teeth, and I still wanna pet that dog!

I know this sounds like the deranged ramblings of a senile old man but I swear it used to be possible to look up information on the internet

when spiders put their little pedipalps together

“I don’t know what my goals are, no. Thanks for asking.”

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

a non-selective plan for the resurgence of fic commissions

Seems like a fun/insanely frustrating thing to try if I end up stuck in the past :D Can't wait to be swabbing syphilitic coochies--for science!

I can understand how "modern person thrown into the past gets by pretending to be a healer/doctor" is as surprisingly common of a trope as it is. I mean I'm fluent enough at bullshitting to be pretty sure I could pull it off to impersonate a doctor in any time pre-1800s. If I have no idea what something is or how to treat it, I could just get the opinion of the other whatever-passes-as-medical-professionals around, but if their suggestions sound like bullshit I'm not doing it. And I'll beat the shit out of anyone suggesting bloodletting or mercury. With my healing stick. I've tied little bells on it, that jingle comically with every smack.

The awesome curative powers of my healing stick come from two separate sources: Placebo, and me using it to beat anyone trying to give my patients mercury.

Have you REALLY lost your scissors if you aren't walking around making scissor motions with your fingers in an attempt to lure them back out?

my millennial exhaustion with having to create an account that includes my email, phone number, and even my bloody birthday on some data-scraper website just to make an appointment for something as trivial as a haircut + my millennial fear and loathing of telephone conversations = I am now walking into businesses to make appointments in person.

when they told me I would eventually turn into my mother, this is not what I thought they meant.

coworkers under 35 love me for my cowboy bebop jacket, coworkers over 35 love me for my cd player, management loves me for my mental illness-fueled punctuality. everyone feels vaguely wary of me for my overall poor impression of acting like a human

anyone else ever wish they could lie down harder? Like, I'm already horizonal, but I need more horizonal. I need to be absorbed by the floor. I think that would fix me

*somewhat spoilers for Scavengers Reign ahead*

Almost finished with Scavengers Reign, but I don't think I'm going to finish it. I'm...just not really getting why people were so hype over it. Which is kinda sad--I was cautiously optimistic about the promise of good environmental and creature design, which it *does* deliver. And to be fair to the show (and its fans,) my sticking point is that I'm not a fan of "life-is-hard, people are shitty, that's reality" style fiction/storytelling. I want pure escapism and hope--hope that I don't have to narratively pay for with a buncha grim dark feels first. :/

The soundtrack was also generally too tension-ramping for me to enjoy and they didn't really break any new ground on sound-mixing/Foley for the beasts/enviro. (I'm like... "distorted violin bow on something," "tiger rumble," "bull gator mixed with tiger" the whole time. They did get some nice pap paps for the mush patting, tho. 5/5 mushrooms, I would also pap those fungi.)

I just...want the creatures and biological focus of Nausicaä, & Mushishi, & Scavengers Reign without all the attendant storytelling sadness, like can we do that? Can I finally have that some day? (Without the insipidity of shows like Pokemon?) /lu

Dungeon Meshi comes the closest, I think, but the environmental storytelling there is kinda flaccid comparatively. Not a lot of creatures/plants exist on-screen except for the featured ones of the episode, and there are certainly no exotic biomes.

Times like this I think...maybe I'm just too autistic. Oh well.

This planet & its biota were prob the closest I've gotten to getting what I want to see, I just can't take the sad storytelling vibes long enough to enjoy it.

I'd even go so far as to say...everyone should have access to university libraries, always. Information is power.

actually i think graduates of a university should have access to the library databases forever and ever amen
