Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”
i keep thinking about logos trans moment like theres really no argument to be had about it. you can't argue it's just that male banshees are rare and he's not transgender he literally says all banshees are supposed to be female. and it's not like this is a banshee cultural matriarchy thing or something where they just pretend to the outside that they're all women for whatever reason because he's literally lord of the banshees as a man, and his family loves him too that new robot operator from the CN stream is a singing robot banshee they sent him so he wont be lonely at rhodes. and it's not the reverse that only men can be lord of banshees or some shit either because his mom was the previous lord and again there aren't supposed to be any male banshees anyway. and it's a throwaway line, they could've just made him say any variation of "no, male banshees are just rare" or just not bring it up at all, but instead they literally pause the conversation to have logos look at the camera and go "by the way, it's true my biological traits at birth would lead me to be categorised as female" and then you go back to dealing with the horrors and he continues being a man.
i've been obsessing over wiš'adel's floating drone gun things?? especially with the sticker sets out now like are these guys sentient? she's pissing them off. they're pissing her off. where the fuck did she get them
you may be thinking "now, why this as a collab? what does arknights and dungeon meshi have in common?" and the answer is twofold:
An extremely political narrative delving into how conflict is fueled by natural disasters forcing people to meet at the intersection of race, class, and oppression
canonically autistic strategists as lead character
Hi! As someone newer to ak, I would actually really love a “rawest Ak lines” list if u don’t mind sharing!
Okay so if I *did* run this, I would have to crowdsource some, because I haven't read everything, and I don't always remember to update my document when I do read shit. So my list is extremely biased, extremely incomplete, and very all over the fucking place. Do not take this as a comprehensive list, but rather just some of my favorites:
Patriot: "Rhodes Island. I will advance." A classic. A legend. A salsa that everyone at the table can enjoy.
Rosmontis: "You didn't want to die alone. You want to be remembered by me, and live on within me. But no. I came here just to watch you die. And now, I've forgotten you."
Eblana: "You'll remember me, shapeshifter. Your long and refractory memory will have chapters that belong to me." (not the official translation but I'm using this one because it goes SOOOO much harder)
Andoain: "I would rather be the torch that burns by the feet of those who are freezing to death. Even if its flame will soon be extinguished."
In game boss description text for Kristen Wright: Egotist. Betrayer. Seeker. Loner. Pioneer. Goodnight, Terra.
and of course, Woodrow: "May this bullet forgive what my heart cannot."
and then of course, Stultifera Navis, which has so many it was basically a contest to see who got the coolest line before the event ended. I have literally 8 lines in my notes document, my favorites being:
Irene: "You have not sinned in any way. The Holy Scriptures do not even mention your existence. Right now it is only I, as an Iberian, who is handing down this verdict. The scourge of the seas must be wiped out. You have no right to live. In the name of Iberia."
Carmen: “You, and your pathetic ideas, will be buried in Iberia. Before your last breath, be sure to pass on our thunderous roar to your kin. ‘The sea faces an ancient enemy called civilization, one you stand no chance of overcoming.'”
Captain Alfonso: “Remember this well, Irene! Return to land and sing the praises of Alfonso's feats! The last monster that Alfonso slew... was himself!”
Ulpianus: “If you care about the word of God, then so be it. The Seaborn are not gods, nor are their forefathers. I have seen how your gods die, their screams coursing through the currents, their flesh and blood smeared across abyssal ravines.”
I think for the sake of the hypothetical bracket, I'd probably want to limit it to one line per event before the entire thing is consumed entirely by just Stultifera Navis
