Anyway, actually reading the new chapter

Ye gods, everything is going to explode

Also, wracking my mind here-”Corpse that isn’t a corpse” in a lake in Salia. The Angel of Contrition that started one of the Crusades? 

I think so :D

Any opinions on the Warden of the West theory?

That it’s a Name? I’m not exactly convinced, but I could absolutely see it. Cordelia’s history so far already fits what you would expect of a heroic ruler (intervening to end a civil war in the interests of the common weal instead of a particular faction, a distaste for court politics and intrigue even as she’s forced t become quite good at them, etc), and if anything’s going to get a Heroic Ruler name, this sort of apocalypse certainly qualifies. 

Pretty curious what sort of aspects she ends up with, honestly. Something as straightforward as Rule seems a bit, well, tyrannical. 

I’m curious about this question wrt all Good ruler Names actually. What were Good Kings’ and Queens’ traditional aspects?

Here’s hope we find out :D

(Protect? Lead seems like something possible but not exactly Cordy’s thing. Convince or something? probably not Scheme lmao)

I could imagine Unite being one. For some others… maybe Inspire, Galvanise,  Identify,  Order,  Reject,  Uphold… Some of these work better with Cordy than others, but they’re all things I could see a ruler-Name having those as Aspects.

Oh nice, yeah!

I just thought that maybe something related to appearance, that would let them look good under any circumstances. Uhhh Groom? Freshen? Shine? Something like that. Mundane utility ftw.

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.

Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.

I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.

When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.

So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

poor people deserve things they want, too. it is unfair to expect poor people to only buy things they “need”.

My grandfather used to tell me: if you only have 20 kr left, you buy grocery for 10 kr and flowers for the other 10 kr because you need a reason to live as well.

This is a principle the labor movement has firmly grasped ever since the 19th century: the idea that poor people don’t deserve or need to have any of their immaterial needs met is one of capitalism’s most damaging pieces of bullshit. The “Bread and Roses” principle was famously articulated by American labor leader Rose Schneidermann and then turned into a poem by James Oppenheim in 1911. It quickly became a folk song; you can listen to Joan Baez singing it here:

Machines can get by on nothing but fuel; human beings cannot.

learning that most trees do not derive from a single lineage but actually only look and function superficially similarly due to convergent evolution is one of the most fucked up things i’ve ever learned and i will never be the same person as i was before i learned that

Oak trees are quite a bit more closely related to roses than they are to pine trees.

wow, what a gorgeous month to remember autism isn’t a disease and there’s no “cure for autism” and there shouldn’t have to be one just because allistic people can’t get the hell over themselves and realise other people experience the world differently and have different needs and require different accommodations. terrific.

autism is literally a neurological and development condition but ok sure yeah keep with the feel good platitudes, you absolute tit

There’s a strong difference between a “disease” and a “condition”, you absolute tit

Think of it this way. 83% of computers (laptop and desktop) use Windows. 13% use Mac. The vast majority of software is developed for windows, with another significant fraction developed for or adapted to mac, because that’s what most people use and it’s all most people understand.

Now imaging you’re one of the 1.4% of computers are running Linux. This doesn’t mean you’ve got a windows machine with a virus, it doesn’t mean your computer is broken, it doesn’t mean it needs to get replaced with a more common operating system. It’s not quite as good at some things most people take for granted, but it’s significantly better at a bunch of other things. But if you have a problem with your computer, the vast majority of people won’t have any idea what you’re talking about. They’ll give advice for how to deal with a similar issue on their own computer, and it will be worthless. The only people with any idea what you’re going through are going to be on linux forums. And you can mostly muddle through all the things everybody else can do with improvisation and lots of WINE, but it sure would be nice if the devs of that video game you were looking forward to would like, acknowledge the existence of your demographic.

Now imagine that on top of all that, the primary linux support system had been taken over by a bunch of assholes who’ve never so much as looked at a command prompt in their lives. but who have declared themselves the Voice of Linux Users and keep spending millions of dollars on campaigns “educating” everybody about how using linux makes you a fundamentally bad and stupid person so your laptop needs to be burned immediately to force you to get a correct computer.

i love that analogy so fucking much

As an IT person who uses linux and as a mother of one, possibly two autistic kids:

This is an excellent analogy.

“…And that’s what your holy men discuss, is it?” [asked Granny Weatherwax.]

“Not usually. There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment on the nature of sin. for example.” [answered Mightily Oats.]

“And what do they think? Against it, are they?”

“It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.”

“Nope.”

“Pardon?”

“There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

“It’s a lot more complicated than that–”

“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes–”

“But they starts with thinking about people as things…”

I hate shipwrecks in Minecraft bc they imply that there is/was some form of intelligent life in Minecraft before the player…… It’s clearly not villagers bc they can’t even build a village properly…… Who are these mysterious ship builders and where did they go…..

@halfaqueen your mind…….

actually the more i think ab it the more beautiful and lonely the world gets. i developed this interpretation after mineshafts where added but even before that, the temples buried by sand?  trapped caverns in jungles? even in other worlds, fortresses in hell itself now only guarded by skeletons? houses in the end only accessible by portal after defeating the dragon? all relics of a past race thats been mysteriously wiped. the villagers dont know perhaps, they see you and assume your one of them. different perhaps, your nose is much to short and face much to squished, your language garbled complexities they have yet to decode, but thats fine to them. you have things they want and they have things you want. perhaps they will one day, long after you get tired of this world, uncover those past relics as well. perhaps they will recognize the stories passed down, perhaps they will lament not trying to understand you, to find the missing pieces of the race before them now entirely gone.

or something like that. im v tired

Makes you wonder though… If you’re the last of this species, how did you survive? Did whatever radiation that mutated the monsters of this world mutate you, too? After all, you have the ability to respawn after death, and save and load versions of the world. Was this an ability everyone had, or is it new and specifically yours? How long will it take them to identify you as a deity - one who cannot die, who does not age, who comes and goes and tears down or builds up the world as they please…

And then you have to ask, are you a god? Perhaps not in adventure mode, of course, but in creative (and even survival), you kind of are.

In creative, there is no end to what you can summon destroy and do. You don’t need to eat or heal, you can fly, you can do anything. You can trade with the villagers and you can kill them in one hit, then spawn in more with an egg, of all things.

In survival, you’re more limited, forced to deal with objects that already exist or creating new ones by natural means. Still, though, you cannot die permanently, you can pick and choose what you want the world to remember, and you can work for days, weeks, or months without even looking at a bed. To the villagers, you are a god.

I don’t really know where I’m going with this, but it’s interesting to think about what you look like in Minecraft through an outside perspective. We, as players, hold a horrible and wonderful power in our hands that honestly doesn’t mean a thing, in real life or to us. But perhaps in another world, far off and unknown, it means everything.

@sociallyawkwardgriffon

But even in survival, you can just put on wings and learn to fly almost instantly. You can take ender pearls and learn to teleport as soon as you get them. You have all the powers of all the mobs who try to attack you and more. Even only with some decent armour and no potions, you can swim in lava for a few seconds, enough to save you most of the time. You can crush diamonds and shape them with your bare hands, carry 1.2 million tonnes of gold on your person and eat spider eyes and zombie flesh with only slight discomfort. There’s all the evidence needed and more to see that you’re definitely mutated and quite possibly an immortal.

And think about this, the civilization that existed before us has been to hell. How else do you explain horse armour and flint & steel in the nether fortress chests? They rode on horses into a land guarded by skeletons and large monsters that throw fireballs at you.
