AO3 IS IN TROUBLE IF CALIFORNIAN AGE VERIFICATION LAW PASSES

An upcoming Age verification bill centered in California will be voted on Monday-- And as always,instead of actually protecting kids, it will lead to more online censorship and privacy risks, as it will force websites hosting to verify their users age by sending their ID, your browser history would be linked to it. if you live California, call your reps and tell them to oppose the bill AB3080 as it highly unconstitutional.

They also deem LGBT content harmful to minors, as well as mentions of weapons and tobacco, putting them on the same level as NSFW content.

Since AO3 headquarters reside in California, much like Reddit, Twitter,Discord and Youtube (and others) who knows how bad the effects would be. Instead of just effecting Californians (even then its concerning.) the effects would be US or even worldwide. VPNs wont help.

Please take actions here (a script is included to help you) https://www.defendonlineprivacy.com/ca/action.php

Find your rep here https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

You can also send faxes using this https://faxzero.com/

If you don't live in California, please talk about this,tag your friends and urge others to take actions, make posts and tweets using the hashtags AB3080 and NoOnAB3080

Just finished 2.2 and OH MAN the Persona 5 flashbacks were really strong with this one.

Also among all the emotions this quest gave, gotta say the most entertaining bits were hearing Misha call 'Death'/'Dormancy' Sleepie and him and Gallagher basically treating it like one big overly excitable dog (as a dog owner I really feel that, noticing a theme here, Compassie, Clockie, Sleepie...), Blade just being 'Aeons I wish that were me' to Firefly's assignment, Argenti's and Boothill's entire existence in this patch, one of the memories I'll hold closest to my heart will probably be rolling up to the final battle with a team made up of Ratio, Aventurine, Luocha and Trailblazer, and getting to hit Sunday with a train multiple times.

#the funniest part to me in between my tears looking back on it #is that Luocha didn't even need to be on the team #because Aventurine was CARRYING shield wise #him and Ratio throwing chalk and chips on him every two turns and Trailblazer dealing the final blow just seems fitting #Luocha was just there for the drama which is in character lol #anyway how we feeling about 2.2 folks?#because it will take awhile for me to recover #hsr #honkai star rail #also one of my few no damage and no heal runs which is a surprise #hsr 2.2 #honkai star rail 2.2

So.

Houseki no Kuni finally ended and I am the farthest thing from okay between being hit by Penacony and that practically back to back.

So to avoid dealing with my emotions about it because I have way too many assignments due and instead think of crossover possibilities that will probably never happen.

Like a meeting of Phos and Aventurine in the Nihility in between Phos' journey through space and time. Either with Phos' as themselves or as their new existence as a comet, brightening up his road as he makes his journey through Nihility, maybe as a pick me up if he ever loses sight of the destination. Or Ratio's day as he waits for Aventurine to make his way back, a dazzling, shining ray of light where all dreams in Penacony are artificial and carefully controlled, when there isn't any predictions for meteor showers or the like in the Penacony of reality, something beautiful that he can tell Aventurine about later after he comes back to him.

Or he'll tell him about this young person with a hair like jewels who told him that, if it's really important to him, no matter the pain of waiting or of things left unsaid or of anything truly changing, that he should wait anyway. They only meet once and he would have intended to wait anyway, but it's a nice reminder to have.

Who knows maybe I'll write that out one day.

#honkai star rail #houseki no kuni crossover #kinda #I dunno I'm tired and my brain is taking the line of “Phos will as Phos does continue to travel space and time #shining brightly all the while.“#and “Your other fragments went off to see a new galaxy I bet they've turned into a big comet by now”#“You think so? I hope they can brighten up someone's day.”#and running with it to cope #if I had a nickel for any time I got attached to a character whose name or existence correlated to a green jewel #who went through the horrors of existence all while being 'blessed' for it in some manner #i'd have two nickels #which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice right?#and the darn visions always show up when I'm trying to nap #golden ratio #aventio #ratiorine #raturine #I can also see Phosphylite's comet brightening up the day of many other Star Rail characters #I don't know if this is anything folks I'm going back to napping now

I don't know WHY, but for some reason I've had a vision of a Golden Ratio Slay the Princess AU.

I genuinely don't know why, maybe it's because of Ratio's owl motif and one of 2.1 quests being named A Cat Among Pigeons (in reference to Agatha Christie and possibly Aventurine's role) and then later owning three black cakecats even if he's mostly associated with peacocks? Maybe it's because I somehow associate Aventurine's many masks and personas we see over the time we know him with the Shifting Mound's many perspectives and how both her and him are so confident their respective foil won't kill or betray them at the end of everything (and are even fine with it if it does happen), how both the Princess and Aventurine always, always fight for freedom and are denied it until the very end of their story when they finally are granted a true escape through their own efforts and an outside force be it through being show the way or death? How they're both connected to a being so much larger than them but have no say over it (the Princess being seen as only a part/perspective of the Shifting Mound even if she can be found at her heart, Aventurine was blessed by Gaiathra Triclops and ultimately none of that did them any good).

Or maybe it's because I can practically hear this line from the Princess coming out of Aventurine's mouth to Ratio the more close he is to knowing who the real Aventurine is after I woke up in a cold sweat from a nap to write this out:

"Have you figured out what you want to do yet, or are you going to keep trying to find a center that doesn't exist?"

(The Princess saying this about herself and how she's the heart of the Shifting Mound and hasn't really been herself or stopped playing a role through the entirety of the game, but in this context Aventurine saying that there is no 'Kakavasha' or 'No.35' or even 'Aventurine' anymore, just the many masks he wears even though he admits to himself he hasn't changed)

I have no idea if this is anything though or if it would fit their characters at all though. Maybe it's just a silly vision I'll write out one day, maybe not.

#aventio #golden ratio #ratiorine #raturine #slay the princess au #slay the princess spoilers #is this anything?#I dunno folks I'm tired I have several coding assignments to do and a deadline has slowly been approaching my location #haven't had the time to analyze these two as much as I'd like #I just know I had a vision while trying to nap about Aventurine during his time as No.35 as The Witch from Slay the Princess #and then later as himself fulfilling the place of the Thorn with Ratio as the Slayer #and then suddenly blacked out and had this all written out #I also have no idea why but I have a feeling the Princess and the Long Quiet would both like Aventurine. Just a hunch tho #as if the poor guy isn't the favorite/bears the gaze of one too many deities already #also the thought of Ratio as a owl person thing trying to figure out what's going on in the Construct and arguing with the Narrator #over his view on death is insanely funny to me

Dan Heng once Dan Feng once Yubie Honkai Star Rail 🤝 Phosphophylite "Phos" Houseki No Kuni

Ship of Theseus themes, Samsara themes, "How much of me is what I was made of and how much of me is my experiences", not really being the person you once were, Haunted by The Horrors™ of their existence, Memory Related Issues, several Buddhist themes attached to them.

I shall not elaborate at this time due to sleep deprivation.

Yoo Joonghyuk Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint 🤝Elster Signalis 🤝 Akemi Homura Puella Magi Madoka Magica 🤝 Yingxing/Ren/Blade Honkai Star Rail

Being willing to do everything in their power and to refuse death time and time again and going through unthinkable and unspeakable suffering and The Horrors™ while losing themselves (likely, though not a requirement) to keep the One Promise they made to the one they cared for most, even if it means killing them at least once in the process, actually it will most likely involve killing them once in the process. Being so unreasonably devoted and committed to their goals.

MLM and WLW solidarity at it's finest.

#They're all just a different flavor of “I miss my wife” and in this essay I will- *shot*#yoo joonghyuk #elster #blade honkai #yingxing #ren #technically Xingyue/Renheng #technically Dokhyuk #and definitely Elster x Arianne #Do Not Entrust a Magpie with a Quill after 21:00 PM #technically madohomu #Akemi Homura #respect to them all for commiting though #renheng

I don't know why, but something (aka the sleep deprivation) tells me that the inherent tragedy of Xingyue and Renheng by itself is so Iron Lotus/Fly My Wings by Mili coded, I mean maybe not one to one but just look at these lyrics:

"Despite our promises, here I am following your steps"

"As your unchanging reality dampens my sleeve-

You kissed them off from the vibers of my handkerchief-

I am fire! Burn those who dare to care for me

And my fuel are memories, fuel are memories of you-

They perish with the heat, perish with the heat!

So I can

Move

On

Flower of Iron

Shriveled up to hide the imposter in me-

"Hey, why did you leave? Why did you leave?"

Don't let those words out of me

Imposter's about to speak." -(So darn Blade/Renheng coded, heck the entire song is in a way and yes I am also counting the Key Ingredient version)

"You're doing what you love

Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough?

A genius, perfect job

Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough?

Again and again-

You locked me down

I locked me down

We staked me to the ground

...

The soil gave me warmth

Please die, little dreams

Kill the camelias in me

Wouldn't it be easier to give in?

Why are these hands chasing dreams out of my reach?

Is my thirst for normalcy odd?

Fly, perfect wings!

Where have you been hiding?

Bring me to the mind that got us started

Fly, perfect wings!

Show them who I can be

For the one last time, if you will

That's all." (Really Dan Heng/Renheng coded too, start can technically be Dan Feng's perspective, then switches to Dan Heng)

I think we can also throw Vermeil in Gold here too (immortal falling in love with a mortal no matter how doomed it is, loathing themselves and their circumstances because were they literally anyone else then maybe, just maybe it could have worked out, plus the "I'm your preserved flower" and "they want to see just the beautiful parts", really Dan Feng coded, I can write essays on that guy and Xingyue and Renheng but I doubt anyone would he down for that).

Idk, might just be me.

#renheng #renheng thoughts and headcanons #A Magpie Shouldn't Be Given a Quill After 21:00 PM #xingyue #makes me half tempted to write ngl
