can u imagine the utter chaos this site would have been in if the Suez Canal Ever Given thing had happened on the 5th November
imagine
when adulthood hits you in space with three children
truly think the ship stuck in the Suez Canal debacle is what we All needed. they say disasters really bring people together and here's one that doesn't actually involve the death of anyone. we just get to watch an absolute fuck up live and relish in it. i feel more alive than i have in a year. i feel god in that stuck ship tonight
the asexual representation situation is so dire we need ace rep that slays. we need an asexual character that uses her pussy to do nothing but serve CUNT.
Friend: “Have you seen [TV Show/Movie]?”
What I say: “I’ve seen bits and pieces of it, yeah!”
What I mean: “I’ve seen gifs”
I vaguely recall reading something about how the Greek’s made concrete(?) being unknown for so long. This real durable concrete and no one could make it.
Oh they had the recipe. They did have that! But it didn’t work.
Until someone used ocean water. They did not say it was ocean water because back then it was so obvious what you used, no one bothered noting it down.
I say this because I want everyone to consider this in regards to Wei Wuxian and the notes he left behind. Not only are they a chaotic mess – because he goes off on tangents about farming, Wen Qing being mean, A-Yuan being adorable, suddenly it’s all about Lan Wangji again wtf, and then there is the various doodles of both amazing art and insulting caricatures – Wei Wuxian only is writing for himself. He’s not making a cultivation manual, he’s making notes for himself, notes on his experiments, notes that tie into what he knows already. He’s personally improving his cultivation, not building a means to teach others.
So just imagine Xue Yang cursing as he tries to figure out why the ghost whistles – meant to either drive away or beckon ghosts, an improvement on the spirit-lure flags and meant specifically to help keep the Burial Mounds safe for the Wen Remnants – don’t work. He follows exactly what Wei Wuxian put down, makes them out of bamboo he carves himself and paints with the right characters in blood, and they still don’t work. Because to Wei Wuxian, living in the Burial Mounds it’s very obvious that he uses the bamboo that grows in the resentful energy rich Burial Mounds.
Or Jin Guangyao, trying to figure out how he made the Ghost General for the thousandth time and getting nowhere because no where does it specifically mention that part of it involved how Lan Wangji was there playing his guqin with spiritual energy and how that interacted in a fascinating fashion with the resentful energy to pull back Wen Ning’s mind after a lot of previous rituals and experiments. The closest it gets to noting that is the five page gush over Lan Wangji’s visit and the meal he shared with him alongside A-Yuan.
Mo Xuanyu keeps his position in Jin Sect in part because he can actually figure out a good chunk of Wei Wuxian’s notes and organize them into mostly useful forms. But even he sometimes struggles to figure out something left behind. Like the blood lock spell – that protects something from anyone who does not share your blood, something even more useful to Wei Wuxian as he’s an only child with no known living relatives – he tries multiple times, never getting it to work, and fails to realize the reason there is a doodle of the moon nearby is because it is the phase of the moon necessary for the ritual to work.
Just. Wei Wuxian, writing down personal experimentation notes, unknowingly driving the Jin Sect insane. And then when he returns he fails to understand what is the problem until Lan Wangji talks him through it and suddenly so much makes more sense.
Leo: Don’t panic, I’m in charge here.
Annabeth: THAT’S WHY WE’RE PANICKING!
Absolutely delighted about how Felony didn’t give any explanation for WHY Jacen would want to be a Jedi, WHY that was meant to be such a killer line, just absolutely no context about it whatsoever, not even Hera looking more than fondly amused that her kid wants to be a Jedi like Sabine, SINK OR SWIM IN THE NARRATIVE ON YOUR OWN, FILTHY CASUALS, HE IS NOT THROWING YOU A LIFE PRESERVER.
Sometimes when I think about these images, about Ezra’s high key instinct to protect Sabine when it came to her family and the Darksaber and Mandalore, I head canon that that’s the reason he gave her his lightsaber. And his home.
Not just because he trusted her to protect them.
But also because he wanted them to protect her.
Because he knew. He knew something bad was coming. I think he knew that no matter what path won out, Mandalore would always fall.
Sabine even said that nothing but grief had come to her family through the Darksaber.
And Ezra knew that he couldn’t stay and she couldn’t go, that he wouldn’t be there beside Sabine when it happened. So Ezra did the only thing he could do to protect her whether she decided to fight or hide.
He left pieces of himself behind.
And then when I think about that, those weren’t just pieces of Ezra. Being a Jedi and Lothal were two of the three the most important things to him. They were all of him actually. His whole life.
So he gave them to her. Because she was that secret third thing.
By giving both Lothal and his lightsaber to Sabine, Ezra effectively laid down his life to protect her in his absence. He went weaponless and alone into the unknown, leaving Lothal to her care, so that when the worst happened, Sabine would have a way to fight or fly. Both a sword and a shield. She would have a home when there wasn’t one to go back to. He basically pledged that, no matter what she chose, he would serve her until her song was written, even when he was marching far away. And I love that about him.
