- spamming likes is okay!
- i post about serious topics and themes sometimes (particularly ones that show up in hugo vlad's story), and am very open about mental health. everything is sfw (unless otherwise stated and hidden behind something), but generally my posts are geared towards adults.
- just a small warning, i sometimes struggle to tag content warnings consistently. i try my best, but ye.
Yeah I said something similar yesterday but we can NOT let what happened to Renee Good cloud what happened to everyone else at the hands of these SS Demons!!!
Because we can’t disregard one person if we’re for human rights!
The above screenshot reads:
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. And like Renee Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y'all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims. (Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com)
The second screenshot above reads:
Renee Nicole Good wasn't the first killed by ICE... In 2025, ICE murdered: Silverio Villegas Gonzalez Carlos Roberto Montoya Valdez Genry Ruiz Guillén Serawit Gezahagn Dejane Maksym Chernyak Juan Alexis Tineo-Martinez Brayan Garzón-Rayo Nhon Ngoc Nguyen Marie Ange Blaise Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado Jesus Molina-Veya Johnny Noviello Isidro Pérez Tien Xuan Phan Chaofeng Ge Lorenzo Antonio Batrez Vargas Oscar Rascon Duarte Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Miguel Ángel García Medina Johnny Noviello Santos Banegas Reyes Ismael Ayala-Uribe Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Miguel Ángel García Medina Huabing Xie Leo Cruz-Silva Hasan Ali Moh’D Saleh Josué Castro Rivera Gabriel Garcia Aviles Kai Yin Wong Francisco Gaspar-Andrés Pete Sumalo Montejo Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani Jean Wilson Brutus Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir Delvin Francisco Rodriguez Nenko Stanev Gantchev In 2026, ICE has murdered 2 people: Keith Porter [New years eve 2025] Renee Nicole Good -From the ICE_Raids Community on Reddit

hsr & wuwa really make me conversely appreciate zzz's physics and character animations. they're so much more dynamic, realistic, lively. the expressions, the way the eyes move (rather than staying completely still like in hsr), how the clothes fit/move on the body (separately from it).
hsr's animations are soooooo so stiff in comparison. and the clothes are mostly connected to the 3d models themselves— meaning that, for instance, what should be tight fabric stretches as a character's chest rises and falls. it just looks weird and lazy.
and while zzz's jiggle physics are uh, too much sometimes, at least they make more sense than the characters in wuwa & hsr, whose breasts move up and down when the character is completely stationary... 😭. (maybe zzz is guilty of this somewhat too, but there's just a notable difference. ykwim)
im playing hsr myself for the first time. i just reached amphoreus. however, i kept up with the main story ever since 3.0 (by watching people's playthroughs)— meaning i've seen all of amphoreus. i was very invested in the lore, so i know the truth about everything. that being said,
it being a virtual space is already noticeable. how could one woman split into 3(+) alternate versions of herself? it's exactly like the tingyuns in penacony, or wonweek. this shouldn't be possible normally.
answering past me's questions about penacony from before i played hsr myself:
1) do robin and firefly actually die.... what
nope. they're simply transferred from the regular dreamscape to the primordial dreamscape by a memory zone meme called "Death", which is actually named "Dormancy". and in reality, they are safe and sound.
2) what was the thing about robin losing her voice?
the harmony in the dream was discordant. it was affected by traces of the order. thus, her voice (harmony) was affected
3) why did robin stay in penacony or whatever? was she stuck in the dream bc she was dead or smth?
no. she was alive, it's just that sunday was demoted as the oak family head, and robin was appointed in his stead. that's why she stayed and sunday was able to leave with the express.
akivili fell/died/went missing during the swarm disaster, ena did the same, the harmony absorbed the order, the swarm disaster sparked a war among the aeons, and the harmony was revealed to be spreading the stellarons.
with harmony's ties to the trailblaze... what if xipe also absorbed akivili? (making them their third face?) idk, just a thought. the express crew's will and bond in penacony was so strong it even drew xipe's gaze, and mikhail's legacy ended up kinda representing harmony? despite being the trailblaze.
edit: although, tbh, ive wondered for agood bit if the propagation became their 3rd face. idk though.
I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

"but when exactly did we enter the simulation [inside papago hollow]?" hun. hun. if all hollows are like a simulated environment, where you can even die and take physical damage, affecting you after you leave them... then what could that mean? after all, you don't sustain injuries after leaving the HIA's VR simulations.
well! maybe!!, just maybe, you've been in one big simulation all along. maybe your world, "new eridu", has actually been overtaken by the honkai Hollow and has fallen into the Sea of Quanta Ether, and is therefore now a bubble world. one where, within it, a simulation called Life is running. and they're simulating hollow disasters on purpose in order to get humanity to figure out how to overcome them. essentially doing exactly what the honkai does to begin with: forcing humanity to evolve, or sink into the abyss.
new eridu is a simulation, it's actually all one big "hollow", and the hollows in it are just the source code becoming corrupted. but it's an intentional corruption— a test.
phaethon is the one doing the simulation. it's possible that they're the only one even alive in it, and everyone else is just a memory, an ether construct of a person who once was.
it's all literally a game, and the "hollow" that is new eridu is...life. phaethon's directive is to guide people through the hollow, to find a way out of it— to guide them both through hollows and through life.
to navigate it, both hollows and life, they need a massive amount of "observation data"— for the hollow of life, this is memories. the video archive, the signals they search for and store in their archive/workbench. with enough data, they can plug it into the maze-solving algorithm, which i think must be literally embedded into phaethon via their connection to the HDD.
their goal is to finish the game after having accomplished the objective: find a way out of the hollow. it's to reach the endgame, the truth. and if they haven't helped humanity overcome the hollow by that point, if they ~crash the chariot~ again so to speak, then the game resets and they repeat it until they succeed. the endgame, the truth, is in the center of hollow zero.
(oh, and i believe the "truth" is death. probably that everyone is actually dead, and the hollow of new eridu is therefore essentially an afterlife. that's why the exaltists are so hellbent on achieving spiritual immortality and disregarding life.)
