discord text log: Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:44 AM my Hot Take™️ is that the Thing He Did Wrong actually kind of has fuckall to do with "working too hard" or "not asking for help" or whatever the common interpretation is but the fact that, to-date, all of his relationships were so hollow and distant that lahafuckingbrea was walking around in his skin for weeks and NOBODY NOTICED like Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:44 AM UH HUH Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:44 AM NOBODY could tell Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:45 AM even minfillia Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:45 AM im sure there were a couple people that knew him well enough to tell he was acting odd or off in conversations but even then oh of course thancreds bullshitting me why would he talk to me honestly about anything Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:45 AM YEAH

discord text log pt. 2: Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:45 AM of course he's badly pretending to be thancred thats what thancred does Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:46 AM :playdead~2::playdead~2::playdead~2::playdead~2: GOD that's such a good fucking analysis Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:46 AM and honestly there probably werent even that many instances of that, just cause dude straightup ghosting everyone is! also extremely normal!! oh i havent seen thancred in a while WHO HAS Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:46 AM YEAH Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:46 AM so in that horrible insidious way part of the damage lahabrea was able to cause WAS his fault Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:47 AM :phoenixDespair: yeah... Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:47 AM for being a walking liablility in a way he was utterly blind to

third and final part of the discord text log: Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:47 AM and it's such a PAINFUL way Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:47 AM so focused on the sorts of survivalism and preparation he's used to and comfortable with and understands, that he doesnt even notice the gaping hole that is community interconnectedness and like to be entirely fair to him i dont get the feeling that possession is a super common or precedented danger that he SHOULD have been considering but like Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:49 AM yeah it's just that, unfortunately by the way he lived his life, he was just the best candidate for lahabrea to replace Valerian — 5/22/2024 2:49 AM :crycry~1: this is why i am frothing at the mouth for canon to make up its fucking mind about whether he was conscious for all that btw Yerja — 5/22/2024 2:49 AM not close enough to anyone, by his own design, for him to be properly missed YEAH ME TOO

*i maintain that THIS was the actual responsibility he holds for the disasters that unfolded in arr. not getting possessed in the first place, i genuinely don't think there's any way they couldve stopped an ascian determined to fuck around at that point. power imbalance too great

Working on WOL standees is always a very trust the process situation ;;

an illustration inspired by “the storm” by pierre auguste cot. it is amaris (a midlander teen girl) and alphinaud (a elezen teen boy) running through the forests of tural as a rainstorm comes in. they are laughing as they run, taking shelter under a large banana leaf

the original “the storm” by pierre auguste cot

“Both were laughing together in the shelter of this umbrella of their own invention.”

A colored comic. On the first panel you can see Asteria's back while she's happily drawing something on a t-shirt On the second panel Asteria's proudly showing her G'raha t-shirt to him while he's totally flushed -Look, I decided to design my own Raha t-shirt, what do you think?? Aren't you handsome on my style? On the last panel G'raha is grabbing Asteria's shoulder while trembling asking her: -W-will y-you marry mee...? But a confused Asteria answers: -But we're already married???

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

I was already down to waste a lot of time on this but i think umamusume might have awoken something in me. help.

Goddamn those grade 2 covering permission RNG were actually really good, I might not even need the other 5 to be good (i hope they are anyway)

Is this necessary? No, the achievement only requires pedigree 9, not perfect stats
But also I needed a brainless activity to fill the evening and I felt like being Extra

Okay starting over from scratch was kind of painful but it only took 14 coverings to get a near perfect bird the first generation and a couple others who are decent. Five more will be ready to check on tomorrow
Caramel Stardust, please give me decent offspring

only caught a glimpse of the emet-selch discourse and my opinion has always been this since day 1

イエイ！みんなお疲れさまでした！　:DD

Image of G'raha Tia in the Mistwake dungeon showing his red eyes having an uncommonly bright glow. My personal Warrior of Light, Lorna, is seen behind him, just peaking past his shoulder.

Got another great shot of G'raha Tia that shows just how freakishly bright and reflective his eyes are in certain lighting. I really feel like they don't play with how borderline bioluminescent his eyes are enough since it's such a cool detail. Especially post graphical update. #ffxiv #ff14

personally hoping it just gets bigger and fluffier. become orb. no legs (they're hidden) just a raging bonfire of floof.
alternately, if it must be on two legs

Sorry I could not deliver something better but here they are, the three starters! #pokemon

Leaving Kansas is really not a helpful solution, plz redirect attention and resources to KS community orgs that can provide immediate material support instead. Moving isn’t possible without valid ID and people need $ to fund just the id. Good place to start is acefoundationict.org , also see image
