I’m gonna be so upset if the show makes it so that house is fully purposefully responsible for the world ending, because it doesn’t make sense and clashes with his character.

Part of the thing about House is, he’s sentimental to a fault about the old world and Vegas. He’s somewhat tragic, because despite the reality in front of him, he keeps trying to build back “old vegas” and unable to accept the new. He makes the workers speak in old world lingo. He lets the other casinos operate of their own accord, because he misses how old Vegas was *also* corrupt. He preserves the face and voice of his dead lover, in hopes it’ll keep him company like she once did. He makes mister new vegas play old songs of the prewar world. He’s isolated himself to his very own little snowglobe of what vegas used to be, and he’s the only one in that little bubble. He is trying to rebuild this dream of nostalgia and yearning for what came before, and it never works.

It’s like a terminal homesickness, almost. He can never ever return to that time— he can never *ever* go back home. Why would someone so banal about recreating what was, have any interest in purposefully destroying the entire world? Even without his other motivations, money and power (which also wouldn’t be benefitted at all if he ended the world on purpose) I think his sentimentality is enough for him to not want to burn the entire planet. He’s the fakest IDGAFer of all time when it comes to the old world. The writers just want an easy antagonist, on the level of comically evil like the enclave, and if they go this direction, it’s gonna come at the price of making house inherently out of character

I keep revisiting this post as I find it possibly the best and a succinct description of who Mr. House is as a character. I mean, this analysis can't be possibly clearer with the snowglobe motif.

"I enjoy them. There's something about a little diorama set inside a glass dome that I find pleasing."

Mr. House has a collection of little models of the Old World inside domes and kept clean, proper, and preserved. New Vegas is a snowglobe, sealed from the contamination of the New World with Pre-War nostalgia. A diorama of the world he left behind and the life he can never return to.

Anyways, perfect analysis, kudos and good job!

I love how it doesn't matter what expedition it is.

They all turn into excited kids when they meet penguins.

The Penguin: GIANTS! no way! I’m gonna wave at them THEY WAVED BACK! Holy Shit they’re dancing with me! My Wife is never gonna believe this OMG I got to dance with a Giant today so cool.

The Humans: Penguin! No way! I’m gonna wave at it IT WAVED BACK! Holy Shit it’s flapping with me! I got to play with a Penguin today; so cool.

where's the joy and whimsy guy? Have they found this one yet?

Joy and whimsy detected! This post is joyful and whimsical!

Who am I to deny a penguin some joy and whimsy 🐧

Mr. Beast is such a fascinating public figure cause he's the only one who's willing to outright say stuff like how his success came at the cost of his joy and human passions but when you look him in the eyes it's clear that he doesn't consider this a bad thing

Actually I'm not sure you can detect any core beliefs or emotions or even the will to live on Mr. Beast's face, but that's exactly the point. He appears completely content with being a brand instead of a human being

my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.

And that wasn't done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad's ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.

Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going "They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way" "They didn't clean... Like at ALL"

Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. "It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets" Jake that's what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.

On my dad's boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They're grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that's what every boat was doing.

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

It’s a reminder, I guess, that they’re coming for all of us. The fash and the white supremacists will not make nice distinctions between the queers when they put us up against the wall. There is no gatekeeping, no label-policing, no purity-purging and no assimilation that any of us can do that will save us. They want us dead, and while they’ll start with whoever is most vulnerable at any given time, they’ll get around to all of us eventually.

Queer solidarity means all of us because the fash are coming for all of us.

All Dividers are Feds. Stand united or die separately.

ANYONE who is trying to divide our community is a fucking Fed. That includes other queers who like to argue about who is and isn’t “allowed” in our community.
