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

Here’s the mean gills made out of perler beads in the style of stardew valley characters

The Owl House was cancelled

That is something you guys need to remember. This show was cancelled. There was so much content that we were supposed to get but didn't because a few Disney execs decided that their best show since Gravity Falls wasn’t good enough to keep on their platform.

You have to understand, Dana didn't want this. We were supposed to have more. We were supposed to see how Hooty and Eda met, Caleb when he was alive, Darius's mentor, the Hagside kids, Manny, more Gus centered episodes, the Bat Queen's holder, more of Raine and Eda's relationship, etc.

But because only a few Disney execs decided that this show was too gay… oh, sorry “wasn't their brand'' they cancelled it.

You absolutely have the right to be mad. But do not direct that hatred to Dana or The Owl House. Disney is your enemy.

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.

I wish real life academia was more like The Magnus Archives because I'd much rather face otherworldly evils than have my research blocked by INFINITE PAYWALLS. Jonathan Sims might've suffered immensely and nearly ended the world but at least he didn't have to cite inaccessible sources.

Didn’t know how to add the video and couldn’t capture with just a screenshot lmao also apologies for the poor quality

a lot of things about this are funny to me:

1. This being his first tweet since December 13th

2. Why is he saying this. Like same but did he feel so strongly about wanting to walk in a snowy pine forest that he simply must tweet about it. Cozy cottagecore tangotek

3. The previous tweet in question is Ladies and Gentlement. Suck It GTWScar
