both are kind of terrible and genuinely fucked up people!!!
meenah is…a lot to process. she’s )(IC sans years of manipulation and becoming a bloodthirsty quasi immortal empress with the galaxy at her clawtips. she could become a killer queen, but in her reality, soft and sweet beforus, she decided to say fuck it, ignore responsibility, and fuck off to the moon. would she have overthrown feferi if she tried? absolutely. but that’s fodder–meenah never grew up, never grew past her own selfishness (or should i say shellfishness LOL), and never moved forward. eons spent in isolation didn’t help, either, and she’s not exactly tragic or comedic? she’s just a fucking weirdo with fish puns and genocidal tendencies that she can’t exactly act on. all bark and no bite.
aranea on the other hand is cool, composed, articulate. unlike meenah, who’s in your face with her bluntness (and like. general ability to never sugarcoat things that actually need a gentle touch), she tries to be your friend, to get on your side. she wants to be liked, because fond memories are better than no memories at all. and yet! that quest for relevance is sourced in anything but genuine kindness.
aranea, in another life, becomes a cold and calculating saboteur. she sails the seas, ransacks the innocent, and rapes someone as an act of foreplay with her boyfriend. she is hunted down, she mindcontrols an entire gallery of people to kill someone (and presumably themselves, to eschew witness accounts). she starts a revolution out of boredom and because she wants some dick. like…there’s nothing really positive about marquise spinneret mindfang. she does everything for personal gain and has no regard for other’s lives. she writes about her conquests, because she wants to be remembered. and she is, by a little girl with no other adult to turn to.
tl;dr: meenah is chaotic but a dumbass! aranea is calculated chaos!
im about to start working as a grader and one of the rules is to not give a 69 on a test. my directions say to look at it again to see where i can give partial credit or take points away because a 68 or 70 would be fine. this is incredible
this is why scantron tests are good actually, the robots don’t know, the robots will make that kids damn day
We got into a debate in class the other day about Harry and Ginny as an endgame ship (long story, art school is weird) and my teacher made a super good point saying something like
“He didn’t just marry Ginny; he married into the Weasley family. They’ve been his real family for so long that it’s a natural conclusion to his arc.”
Which, like, FUCK, but also conjures the frankly breathtaking mental image of Harry proposing the idea one night at dinner and the ensuing fistfight over which one of the Weasley kids gets to marry him.
Harry: haha so I was thinking about how weird marriage is earlier?? Like, if I married one of you I’d legally be part of the Weasley family by law???? How strange is that???
George, already conjuring a ring: Well all you had to do was ask, Harry
Percy, fighting in the only way he knows how: I can get us the best tax benefits
Charlie, also fighting in the only way he knows how but completely certain he’s going to win:
Ron: nO ONE IS MARRYING MY BEST MATE
Ginny, already rolling up her sleeves: I’ll fight you for him Ronald
This image, though.
The family that fights over Harry stays with Harry.
Was the record to take five steps or did he take more than five steps?
Previous record was five steps I believe
Do did he take more?
I feel like we’re ignoring the obvious question of “why the crap did some whacky bastard try carry a 1,430 lbs. log in the first place?”
Also the previous record was three steps (again why?) and our “Mountain that Rides” made it a full five steps
Because he could
So…. in doing some reading, I’m more in awe.
The “world record” actually comes from an Icelandic viking legend in which Orm Storulfsson carried the mast of a ship (with the same specifications as the log that Hafthor lifted) for three steps. According to legend, 50 men lifted the mast onto Orm’s back. He took three steps. After the third step, his back was broken and he was never again the same.
So it isn’t like he broke a world record that was set 50 years ago or something. This was a legend from 1000 years ago.
That header photo doesn’t do the dragon justice. (For shame!). Here’s NASA’s own photo:

THE TIME HAS COME
C-can we come back to the hole in the sun bit
Relax guys.
A coronal hole isn’t really a hole in the sun. It’s more a magnetic gap in the sun’s atmosphere that allows high-speed solar wind gusts to sometimes blow in our direction making impressive auroras and messing with satellites and power lines on the ground.
Can someone explain to me why Detroit Become Human was a bad game/story?
the whole slavery subtext was too on the nose and horribly executed. Forced love plots and several tropes that david cage uses in all his games. I think the only cageism that wasnt used was unexplained supernatural and an attempted sexual assault in an apartment. The story itself requires us to believe that humans (who were born in the 90s and 2000s) would be racist against robots similar to how conservatives are racist against immigrants even though in large, our generation knows that nobody is stealing our jobs, companies are just doing everything they can to screw people over and cut corners. Basically its just another shitty david cage game. a solid idea but piss poor execution
OH also i completely forgot to mention it but the whole twist of alice being an android is such a bullshit twist because in the beginning, shes fucking eating and also her not being human completely invalidates karas whole plotline. Its literally a twist that people predicted as joke predictions. you know, the ones that are so stupid that they would never happen.
One final thing; the gaping plothole that is everyone trying to get to canada because canada banned robots so its less likely theyre going to get caught when deviant. BUT the big problem that jericho is suffering is that they are running out of parts and fuel and are falling apart. And the big fucking plothole is that why are so many robots having an underground railroad to canada when canada would have NO maintenance stuff for robots!? they would fall apart even faster than in jericho because at least in jericho they scavenge parts from the junkyards and steal from the stores.
I keep hearing that David Cage sucks. A few have explained in in the post but why does he? I played both Heavy Rain and Detroit and found them to be ok enough games.
His ideas are predictable and and has a habit of reusing the same scenes like a girl about to be sexual lyrics assaulted in her studio apartment (indigo prophecy, heavy rain, beyond two souls) or needlessly complex supernatural bullshit (IP, HR, B2S) and is generally a dick. He literally put himself into the IP tutorial as himself, he completely dropped the entire reason for Ethan blacking out in HR (originally scotty would have formed a psychic link with him while he was in a coma) and in B2S, the choices literally do not matter. At all. No matter how hard you try to choose the worst choices the same thing happens. To his credit, DBH WAS his best game. Though the majority of it is because of the actors
