A Peaceful Moment

“you cheered for me,” grian told him, accused of him. scar looked down at the finger poking into his chest, then back at grian’s face. his eyebrows furrowed with his confusion. “during limited life. after you,” grian paused, swallowing down a sour taste in his mouth. “after i killed you, you cheered for me.”

“well, yeah,” scar said, grabbing some materials from his shulker box. scar didn’t know if it was because he had a castle to build or because he didn’t want grian to see his hands shaking. “if you win, i win, right?”

grian took a deep breath, shaking his head. “that wasn’t third life,” he said as if scar needed the reminder. “it wasn’t going to work like that.”

“i know,” scar smiled sadly. he looked back down at his shulker, before picking it back up, switching it between his hands so he had something to do.

there was a conflicted look on grian’s face. “then why did you do it?” he asked, and scar wished their hearts were still connected, that he could still feel grian’s pulse in his chest as much as his own.

“i guess i couldn’t help it,” scar said and grian ran a nervous hand through his hair. scar reached out and tugged on it, holding it so that grian couldn’t pull out his hair. grian gripped onto it like a lifeline.

Michigan Democrats have had a truly incredible afternoon: they're about to end the state's anti-union "right to work" law, repeal an abortion ban from 1931, enact universal background checks on gun sales, and pass an LGBTQ anti-discrimination law. All in the last 24 hours

The thrilling sequel

the best thing about the velma series is very literally nothing about the series itself, but the effect it’s having. multi generations of fans are coming out of hibernation and exposing themself as diehards to create new content dedicated to a group of mystery solving misfits that we all unanimously love

sorry just tearing up over the idea of multiple people using the pain-sharing spell. “with this spell declared, let the pain be shared,” except it’s said three, four, five times, the pain passed along and lessened each time. if we all hurt a little then no one of us has to hurt a lot.

the question of free will is a common one. i think everyone has contemplated it at oen point or another. when once put on the spot to explain my own view of it, i came up with the answer: "everyhting you do is a true, genuine choice. it's just that, because of the circumstances of the universe, you'd never pick anything else than what you ended up with". which might seem like a load of paradoxical nonsense, but to simplify it, let's go with a metaphor. you get to choose between two meals, one of which contains an ingredient you really don't like. you pick the other one - not because you had no choice, but because the circumstances are that you don't like the other and would never eat it. at least that's the closest i can get to explaining it

i think that, if i were an avatar, the web might be the most likely. i think it's the only one i'd ever give myself up to voluntarily, at least. the web is interestring, because it's presented as a lot more aware than all other entities, but, i mean, is it? does it really do any more than provide power to its avatars? it's tricky, but i honestly don't think the web has any more consciousness than any other entity. maybe the ability to make it apear like it does, but no true, actual thinking

annabelle is really interesting in that case, because she's sort of a driving force in this all. hell, even her own free will can be put into question, because i don't think there's anything that really implies she's exempt from the manipulations of the web. it's hard to know whether she's a proper instigator, or just the middle man between the web and the rest of the world. she's so well spoken and eloquent that you don't get that impression, but i think that very much could be the case

so i watched this tiktok trend...
