Been a while, almost a whole month. Have been wrestling with chords and everything finally clicked earlier this week, leading to this. I am very proud with how this turned out, and with the PMD soundfont I managed to get over hangups in regards to mastering, orchestration, etc. It's like using the shitty paint in those big gallon jugs they have in elementary schools on printer instead of oil on canvas, which is what I needed.

MONDAY.
SPITE AS FUEL.
Wait so is the mandate of heaven and the divine right of kings the same kind of concept, or have I massively misunderstood one or the other?
divine right of kings: you can do whatever you want forever because you're god's specialest little boy!
mandate of heaven: do a good job ruling or god's gonna start sending hitmen
Ah, yeah, I see it now. This is the exact level of detail I needed of the key details of how to distinguish the two. Thank you.
i should have killed cullen off this fic when i had the chance
'don't kill cullen off, poppy' i told myself, foolishly 'you cant think of anyone to replace him, plus maybe it would add something interesting to see him deal with inquisitor meredith' i thought, without realizing i would have to actually write this man's pov.
Dungeon meshi is about taking care of yourself physically so you can be fucking insane at full capacity
they should invent a runny fried egg sandwich u can fuck
It literally already cums in your mouth, this the type of greed they talk about in the bible

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
OP the tags!!
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.
Local Australian man is fed fresh juices and smoked fish for first time- refuses to go back to beef jerky boat life
jake that first night when they served a freezer tray tv dinner and not an overflowing plate of fish that's probably going for conservatively like $40-$80 bucks a kilo but the guys decided Eh we'll catch more let's just fry it up:
“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”
‘ She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards’ is the greatest fucking sentence I have ever read.
THE ORIGINAL??
we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.
#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice
There are actual tears in my eyes rn can you believe people are this stupid and walk among us all the time
Hawke
“Love my bisexual disaster man/lady”
“Hawke is my favourite because DA2 lets them be personal. You’re not saving the world, you’re trying to keep your family alive”
“the game lets them be messy in a way that feels earned. they’re not a chosen one with a prophecy, they’re a refugee who keeps getting pulled deeper into kirkwall’s nonsense until they’re basically holding the city together. and you can play them as kind or ruthless or funny or exhausted and it all fits, because the setting actually pushes back. also the friendships in da2 hit different, hawke feels woven into people’s lives, not just traveling with them.”
“Hawke is my favorite protagonist because they feels so deeply embedded in the world around them. They have stakes, they have relationships, they have a strong sense of personality. These are things we lose out on when there is a self-insert protag. I love that despite enduring near constant grief and pain, they continue to do their best to protect the people around them and to make their home a safe place for their loved ones. Do they fuck up? Often. But they does the best they can with what they have, which is all any of us can try to do. I also love that they're such a massive himbo/herbo/thembo”
vs. Warden Tabris
“Tabris has the strongest hook in Origins for me. The game starts by showing you exactly how cruel the world is, and then hands you the power to survive it anyway.”
“Ferelden: treats elves like dirt Tabris: ok. noted.”
"“Like dogs, Shianni” is one of my favorite lines, possibly ever. It just goes so hard."
