Have you seen Fright Night? David Tennant is goth in it lmao and iirc he gets pretty banged up by some vampires
I have indeed seen Fright Night! Admittedly not in quite some time though but I enjoyed it for sure! And while a lot of specific plot points may be hazy, I shall never forget hot goth magician/vampire hunter David Tennant

Beautiful 😍
Do you want gifs? I can make gifs. I don't remember any big whumps but I remember him being tossed about quite a bit and definitely banged up. Ah screw I'll make gifs! At this point I'm kinda determined to gif every single David Tennant whump I can find and I'm having fun doing it lol. It may have seemed like I was done but oooh I've just been in hibernation for the holiday season. It's a new year and the Tennant watch and gif continues!

2023 year stats!!! Wow its been a year since ive shown u one of these... amazing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyways not too much to say here i don't think! Although can you believe its been almost a year since i stopped learning ukrainian.... weird
something thats interesting to me is that i've spent more time on czech this past year than ukrainian the year previous... and just on duolingo, somehow?! There's no way I'm 2 months away from finishing the czech tree!!!
I suppose the courses could have been different lengths to start out with, but I do blame the redesign they did... I still don't like it, lol. (Other factors could be: czech has No Cyrillic so i cant read it as well)
As far as the other languages go — I really can't believe it was only this year I finished 50languages?! Year so long... but anyways, after that i will be honest with you: most of my active belarusian studying has been solely anki and (mostly) daily search of the wordle. The other most is People I Follow On Tumblr and tiktok (theres belarusians on there)
Russian is about the same as I've been doing. Slogging through 5,000 words of top 10,000 on memrise still. Probably about 2,500 of the way through. Probably at LEAST 2 more years of slog...
Maybe it doesn't serve much of a purpose, but i'd feel weird having the extra time. Like, no, i'm supposed to be Doing Something at 14:45,,, and, yknow, sometimes i encounter these words in the wild. (Not so much anymore though)
Doing my best to keep up with polygloss for russian, too! It's fun but I never know how to describe the images so a lot of matches get sent into the ether... oops 😅
As for marathi, well................................. nanowrimo happened. Is putting it shortly - actually, I started doing something else in november, and with that, languages, and nano... it was a lot! So I did not do much marathi in november specifically because of that. The rest of the year, well... hmmm. The less said the better?
Well, anyways, it's because of having to spend the same amount of energy almost on czech at the same time, *and* because of the Something Else i've been doing. So - I do want to learn it! Spending time on marathi would be great, actually! I am just Busy. And thus it has been relegated to anki only for the better part of the year if i remember right 😔 someday...
Sidenote, at the rate I'm typing this will be posted after midnight..... well, i wanted to put it out there yesterday night, but i couldn't decide what to say, lol. January 2nd is still New of new years, right??
To be honest, I haven't really thought about any language plans for this year... i know russian and belarusian well enough to read posts & such, and I have the mental fortitude to read books i understand maybe 25% of, but listening and talking I'd say are probably where I need the most improvement. (Writing, well... I'll get back to you once i can learn grammar effectively). With everything as it is now, I'm not sure there's much to be done about that, but maybe I'll figure something out here sooner or later... maybe.
I know I want to finish the czech tree on duolingo, and then I'll pick another language from my duo list and the cycle shall begin anew... and then in 12 years either duo will be dead or i will not wish to learn languages any more (a scary thought). OR i will speedrun every language on my list to the best of my ability and then never touch duo again (no streak, no badges... i think monthly badges are like the Only duo thing that actually works on me because i Need To Collect. ah, fomo...)
As for marathi, if I can manage to pull it out of hibernation alongside all that duolingo nonsense, then by god i'll do it 🫡 if i learned* one language by being exceedingly slow at it I can do it again!!
*referring to russian so perhaps its not accurate to say "learned" still but my point stands
...
Anyways yeah!!! Idk how to end this so з новым годам (late) to u all and good luck & wishes for the new year <3 things may never be perfect but at least i can hope they will be better 👍 🎉🎉🎉

he's more active than ever right now. what's going on? is this his osc.. bond campaign? new agent? new girlfriend? what do you think?
What I think is.... boy knows the show was his last chance and it's getting the axe soon. He has absolutely no projects lined up since 2021 like
So he gotta promote his shitty music but more importantly!!! this is the first in years occasion for Benny Boy to live out his masturbatory fantasy of being a big star!!! Like more of a poor man's version but is getting him there me thinks lol Also like it's not gonna happen for another million years and probably never again lol
He shall return to hibernation no later than end of April!
If he had new management, he would look better and had some projects booked and being announced. And please stop the bond campaign shite cuz it's never gonna happen either lol
Have ye all noticed that none of the interviews of his (the ones I've seen at least) are asking or discussing what ACTUALLY comes next for him. one might wonder why x.x
And what new 'girlfriend' has to do with boy being 'active'?
Ooooo and can I just say, me own feelings tho, that actually we do be getting stuff but honestly? Like nothing is happening??? I can't engage it like does not interest me at all? Wanna say another repeat and imma full from the last time still ;c

tagged by @bioerin 💖💖💖 thanks for the tag erin! i’m a huge book nerd but i’ll admit i read at the pace of a turtle nowadays so who knows when i’ll get to these lol
9 Books I’m Planning On Reading This Year Eventually
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Scum Villain Self-Saving System by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu - hehe this is at the top of my list. I’m in the middle of re-reading and I adore this new english translation :)
2. Heaven Official’s Blessing by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu - otherwise known as “the one i keep putting off”. trust me, as soon as the svsss brain rot goes away, this is the first new book i’m reading. i adore mxtx’s books i’m just a “hesitant to try new media, instead i’ll revisit that one media i already like” kind of person 😅
3. Golden Stage by Cang Wu Bin Bai - i know very little about this one, other than it has politics and is an enemies to lovers kind of story. and if a story has enemies to lovers i shall always wanna take a look. also, erin you gave it such high praise so now i have to read it 😊
4. 2Ha/Erha/The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Meatbun - whoo boy, i’ve heard so much about this book, but i wanna form my own opinion and give this another try. i remember starting it and putting it on hold because i wanted to watch immortality first (but i think that’s never happening lol). time travel’s one of my favorite tropes in stories so i’m very curious on how this one ends.
5. Female General Eldest Princess by Qing Jun Mo Xiao - um a soldier and a royal? falling in love?? and they’re both girls?? um yes definitely YES! i’ve had a lot of danmei recommended to me, but baihe recs are harder to find. so when i heard about this one i immediately added it to my list 💖
6. Clear and Muddy Loss of Love (JWQS) by Qing Jun Mo Xiao - *laughs nervously* i just really wanna read this one. it’s just very important that i read this book. whaaat another enemies to lovers story? but with sapphics?? nooooo it couldn’t be 💖
7. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - heist stories my beloved. sometimes i just need to read a thriller every now and then. i’ve heard nothing but great things about this one so i have it on my bookshelf!
8. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller - idk if you can tell by *gestures to all of me* but i love angsty stories. this book has actually been sitting on my shelf for quite a while. i am terrified to start it. one day i’ll have the courage to read it <3
9. Ao no Flag (Blue Flag) by Kaito - ahh, does manga count? i read this one a long time ago, but i have my hands on the official english translation so i’ve been really wanting to sit down and read it again.
tagging: i’ll leave this tag open! if you see this and would like to make a list too, go for it (if you do, be sure to tag me i’d love to look at your list! i need more book recs ☺️)

Darkness Conquered by the Northern Lights
Day 18 & 21
@daminette-december2019-2020
Masterlist
Same universe as "The Legends in the Books"
A blackout. There was a major blackout in Gotham City. Including the Wayne manor. Why don't they just use the generator? Jason may or may not have used it as a shooting target and now it's broken. The thing was, it wasn't only dark, but also cold, and let's just say, Marinette is slowly drifting off into hibernation. Once she slips into it, she won't wake up until winter is over, they can't afford to let that happen, Tom and Sabine are coming over on Christmas Eve. "Come on Habibi, stay awake," Damian said to Marinette who was slowly drifting off on his lap, "What is taking so long to get that fire on?"
"We're trying Demon," Jason said, "Why does this sh*t happen when Alfred is away?" The boys had been trying to light up the fire for quite sometime now, but after so long using an electric heater they apparently can't do it. And as Jason had said, Alfred was off visiting his wife who no one knew he had. Bruce was... Uh... With Selina, at her house. Do I need to say more?  Dick was in Bludhaven. "Hurry up imbeciles," Damian said impatiently and partly panicking, "Habibi?" "Hm?" "How about we play a game?
"Play what?" the girl addressed asked. "How about the last letter name?" "I can try," she answered him."
"Love"
"Everlasting"
"Gift"
"Taboggan"
"North"
"Holly"
"You"
"Unwrap"
"Pageant"
"Tinsel"
"Lights"
Marinette stayes silent. "Beloved?" "Hm?" "What are you thinking about?" Damian knew that face she was deep im thought. "Trying something." Suddenly a portal appeared and out came a man wearing a red jacket with white edges paired with a classic red and white Christmas hat.
"Santa!" Mari said! "Hello Marinette. Hello to you too Damian, Jason, Tim. The boys stared in shock at the man because one, none of them believe in this man even after last year's debate and two, he was not as... big, as people picture him. " Holy sh*t," Jason said, "You're the real thing." "Language young man, and yes of course I am," the jolly man said, "But enough chit chat for now, let's get our streak setter somewhere warm shall we," pointing to the portal still behind him. He entered and one by one the boys followed. "Dear me!" a female voice shouted, Mrs. Claus, "Let's get you kids warmed up." She ushered them to the fire and gave them snacks.
Marinette was less sleepy each moment that passed. "You could've called sooner you know Mari," Santa said, clearly worried for the girl. "I know," she replied, "Just didn't want to bother you." Santa laughed, "And that my dear is you how you earn the top place of my nice list every year." Mari grinned. "Excuse me but I think I heard you wrong," Tim said, "Bean earned top spot on your nice list every year? Why does that sound believable?"
Santa chuckled, "Indeed, she does a lot to earn that place if I must say so myself. I can try to list them. Let's see year..." Mari had droned him out knowing that it would only embarrass her and headed to the stables. "Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder, and Blitzen, you're all here," she said happily. She pet Dasher as she gazed out the stable window.
"What are you looking at beloved?" Damian asked, she hadn't heard him come in. "The northern lights, they're beautiful," she said. "They are, aren't they?" he said, "but I know something even more beautiful." "Really?" Marinette asked, "What is it?" She gazed up to look at him.
"You"
601 words
This was written last minute lol.
XOXO

ok but moots assigned to fanfiction tropes!!
ahh omg dear anon thank you so much for sending this in !! I’ve been wanting to do this lol.
I feel like this might be a tad long so it shall be under the cut <3 also not @ me realizing most of my moots ult jeno asdf.
alesha [ @sungiescorner ] |
hmmmm. my first thought was college jeno au buT idk why I’m getting grease vibes. SO HYUNJAE GREASE VIBES. Like the whole 90’s (is grease set in the 90’s idk lmao) vibe with retro. basically your it’s grease but the roles are reversed !! Instead of the Alesha being the exchange student hyunjae is bc hyunjae is a soft bean. And you’re part of the schools like higher socitey thing (this is making no sense yay). But basically you’re part of the more rebellious group of the school and then you had a summer fling with hyunjae, until he appears at your school the first day. And chaos unfolds. And just bc I think tutor au’s are cute af hyunjae needs help w math and low and behold you are there to help him :)
mother in law [ @danishmiilk ] |
hehhehe. Obv we gotta go with do young your husband, and lemme tell you all we talk about is blowing up buildings. So doyoung mafia au !! Basically dy is the brains of most of the operations and one day while planning for idk blow up an sm building (we’ve had lengthy convos about this lmao) que you. who is just a genius at setting up bombs, from there sparks fly and you two become a dynamic duo (chemistry puns anyone??).
kathy [ @flirtyhyuck ] |
kathy my bb. Due to your current theme and bc I’m always down for sum badboy college au :) I wanna say a bad boy hyuck au? But in a college setting. you two first meet by accident bc your friend is in a frat and you had to be part of a project together so you walk over to the dreams frat house only for hyuck to answer the door. Now batboy hyuck tends to not be caught off guard but it’s you the person he’s been secretly pinning for most of the year so he kinda panics and gets really red. No worries chenle is there to tease him. But you still have to get your project done (little do you know this is all part of mark, jeno and renjuns plan tp get haechan to finally talk to you). So you end up waiting at their house bc rennin is supposed to be there in like ten minute, boy doesn’t show up. bUT you just spend time with hyuck and he asks you out by the end of it. This got long :)
bean ree [ @rouiyan ] |
Ree, my sweet bean !! My first thought when it comes to you is college au’s lol because you so good and amazing at writing them !! buT we WERE TALkINg ABOUT ROYALTY AU’S !! So royalty au w jeno omg. okie dokey, so you are both royals kinda. it’s a little bit enemies to lovers au whereas the second oldest (brother being first) you aren’t allowed to reign so bc of tradition (bad tradition) you have to marry into royalty of sorts. introducing lee jeno son of the lee’s who though not the strongest country are known for their activities and just tourism because their country is beautiful. you are shipped off to nct country to spend some time with your future husband. Now you don’t really hate jeno but you hate the idea of being shipped off to marry hence those feelings causing hate and aggressions towards jeno who is just like trynna be a nice and understanding bean (like he doesn’t want this either, and he’d just broken up with his s/o ). Fast forward three months and you slowly come accustomed to the place, learning about its government, and jeno begins to also warm up to you. Though you still don’t talk too much it gets better and you bond over the internal struggles that both of you have and slowly start to develop feelings for each other. but you still wanna have a say so your families agree that you won’t just be married but that you’d have power in both kingdoms kinda like an ambassador and im gonna stop here bc this is very long im soRRY.
sunny [ @neocitybynight ] |
bc blonde hair jeno with an undercut made a cb for a solid day, it’s blonde jeno time. i think we’ve talked before how much we both love idol au! so you’re both part of sm, different groups but the company (look at it have one good idea (o_O) and has you and jeno collab for a rap duet (?). it’s the first time you’ve met each other, but like things just kinda click. sunny is like such a hard-working person and I feel like jeno too their both super determined so they’d get all their work done pretty quickly and then just kinda hang and talk about everything and anything. imma stop here or idk where this will go lol.
mylin [ @starlit-jeno ] |
mylin !! my queen !! Ik your in hibernation rn so pls remain in hibernation !! Base off that a cute lil just stay at home date with jeno or mingi idk either one you choose lmao. But just a super laidback like put on random movies that you talk over occasionally and make fun off but also kinda enjoy them bc even though their bad their also fun to watch and entratinging :) w lots of cuddles and hugs and random forehead kisses.
furou [ @astroboy-lele ] |
Now I’m basing this off your username and the fact that we talked about among us lmao. Less go. So space au! With chenle !! For some reason (idk why just go along with it) there have been people dying in the spaceship. So the space ship crew the adults decided to make an investigation but don’t include anyone that aren’t “adults” but chenle isn’t having it as one of the people who died was his cousin. Now you two have best friends for a really long time so naturally you support him. So you two along with bb jisung who dragged along much to his protest of this being too scary for him and because he knew that chenle was in love with you so no way was chenle letting him out of his sight. Lets just say romance blooms along the crime investigation.
cherries [ @riothae ] |
Janna likes to hurt me w jeno but I don’t blame her bc has been just ok. anyways, sports au with jeno !! im thinking dancer au !! You guys have an assignment for your choreo class and are assigned partners that specialize in a diff style than you do. Jeno gets high key nervous and stressed af bc a. He’s an introvert and is awkward around new people and b. Kinda has a small crush on you, well on your style of dancing :) so you two are paired up, lets say your majoring in contemporary/modern dance and he’s specializing in acro and hip-hop. overall it’s just a cute lil thing and because the project is a whole trimester long ( so like 3 months ) you guys get pretty close and right as you end your performance on the day you do it on front on the whole school the ending is like a twirl type thing, and umm he leans in or you lean it and boom.
elle [ @joh--pping ] |  
Elle !! She’s the sweetest angel ever !! So it only makes sense  for a Johnny holiday au !! it’s an established relationship and basically just a fluff of you two setting up decorations for the holidays, (idk if you celebrate xmas so ahh sorry) but like putting up a tree and lights, getting hot chocolate jamming out to xmas music. I can see Johnny trying to get you to slow dance like even during a hype xmas song and it being very cute and intimate only for him to just start like jumping up and down right before you kiss. Anyways it would be filled with cuteness and fluff and stolen kisses and occasionally taking care of mark or jae.

I just realized for your Shed Skin fanfic, What is Remus going to do with bby Durant...
My first ask! Hello anon :D
Remus won’t actually pop up for another few chapters probably (my guess is chapter 5, but no promises) because at the moment he’s sort of hibernating? I actually mentioned this briefly during the beginning of Chapter 1, but it’s my personal headcanon that Remus takes about a week every month during the winter to hibernate. It was established that overwintering isn’t something he needs to do, but considering how Logan (another greenman) gets during the winter, and since the characters are now working near-exclusively on a fae timescale, I figured he’d definitely take “short” naps to try and minimize the Fantasy-SAD’s effects.
Sorry for going on a tangent there, I’ve got a whole bunch of my own lore built up for this. (This is absolutely ask bait if any of my 6 followers want to hear about that lol. Love u guys.) But yeah, once he wakes up and is introduced to Adder (that’s what I call bby Durant, I call the evil one The Serpent King.) Remus isn’t gonna be pleased. On the other hand, without spoiling anything, part of Chapter 3 deals with Bell, the other major character (who’s still alive) who had major dealings with the Serpent King. And while Bell and Remus’s (and the court’s) reactions are going to be very different, the reasoning behind them is the same. That reasoning being: All these coincidences connecting the Bobcat Queen’s new ward and the Serpent King suck, Spooky Eldritch Shadow Nightmare Monster “Actual Ruler of the Forest” made a bad decision with that. I can clarify specifically why no one thinks the two are the same (yet :) in a separate post if someone wants another one of my rambles, but the gist of it is that’s a huge leap in logic to make, with very little actual evidence (yet :)
tl;dr: Remus will probably show up in Chapter 5, he’s not gonna be happy (trauma babey!) but also isn’t going to blame Adder. Directly at least. Rest assured, I shall harvest my angst crop and scatter it to the innocent readers.

Okay, as I mentioned in a previous tag from a previous reblog, where Shakespearean tragedy analogies/comparisons are concerned, this is looking less and less like Romeo and Juliet (doomed star-crossed lovers, but hey, at least their folks kissed and made up at their funerals, so to speak!) or Hamlet (huge “pile o’ bods,” including the struggling title character, but hey, at least he finally avenged Daddy’s death and left Horatio behind to tell the tale!) and more like MacBeth.  And frankly, that’s really hard for me to take, because I hate MacBeth!!!  (That being said, yeah, Lenny is now officially a classic Lady MacBeth figure.  Out damned spot indeed!)  And it seems rather ironic to me now that the body count we thought was “a thing” by the end of the Pilot -- dead Lenny, dead Clark -- really is a thing now.  (...or is it?!?  Duh-duh-DUHHHHHHHH!!!)
On the bright side (yes, I’m determined to find one -- LOL!), good and/or bad, there was a lot that happened in this ep that imo needed to happen if we’re going to reach a halfway-decent conclusion for better or worse.  And let’s not make the decision there just yet, though we’re kind of left in a position to anticipate the latter imo.
Clark’s fate? love him or hate him, yeah, he had to go imo, because to me he was a vengeful fly in the ointment who only back-burnered his David-grudge from Chapters 9 to 19 due to lack of sufficient evidence of David being a threat (a terribly useful tool in Farouk’s “bag o’ tricks;” please let us remember how casually Farouk literally flicked him off in the closing scenes of Chapter 18!), and consequently only succeeded in his relentless pursuit and obsession in making a bad situation ten times worse and more complicated in the long run.  I’ve mentioned before that Daniel’s lines in Chapter 20 made the consequences of Clark’s one-track mind perfectly clear, which brings me to Daniel’s fate:  Yeah, this is definitely one to file under “Okay, if you want me to badmouth David, I’ll go with this one; what he did to Daniel was (borrowing from Clueless) way harsh and completely unnecessary and cruel.”  Funny that it happened before he took down Clark, who again did have to be removed if any headway is to be made in any direction imo.  But maybe that’s part of the point being made here:  Okay, fine, go ahead and hate David for savagely taking down Daniel’s mental capacity as collateral damage, if you like.  But in the end, what put him in the line of fire in the first place?  His love for and loyalty to the obsessed (”focused”) Clark.  So could it be possible that, consciously or otherwise, Clark was so focused on taking down David by whatever means necessary that he was willing to put his partner at risk in the process? and doesn’t that make him as bad as David, allowing his obsessions to distract him from and ruin what he holds dear?  Not an excuse, mind, but just a thought.  It’s just that there are so many more of David at this point that it’s easier to spot in his case! LOL!
Which leads me to the next batch of things that happened that needed to imo:  The long-overdue Sydvid talk and Syd’s discovery of David’s alters.  Now regarding the former, this brings me to a tiresome sore point in light of the Chapter 23 gulag scene, namely the “one step forward/two steps back”-type of scenario where David has a much-needed confrontation that reveals his deep-seated pains and struggles beneath his dark persona, but GOTCHA! -- the whole thing turned out to be a trick, and David’s back to his guarded ruthless self as a result.  Still, hopelessly optimistic viewer that I am, I’d like to think some much-needed seeds were planted during the talk:  Even if Syd was deliberately attempting to lull David into letting his guard down (via SK’s Chapter 21 cringe-worthy promise to “teach you to lie so well that he’ll thank you as you stab him in the back”) by saying everything he wanted (and imo needed) to hear.  (Yeah, since David made a point of mentioning how he used to trust her, we’ll see how well he trusts her in future after that stunt!!! 🙄)  I’d like to think that, whatever state she may be in at this point (there’s the possibility that she may not take a literal physical form, but hey, after the whole Lenny S1-S2 Saga, who knows with this show?), she’ll know a lot better than to trust Farouk from now on.  (David was right about that when he said she shouldn’t have trusted him!!!)  I like the fact that she at least admitted that she had been jealous!!!  So at least she came out and stated the obvious; I was pleased about that!
And now that it’s happened, I can go ahead and say it:  Yes, the Sydvid Body Swap, Syd-trick or otherwise, needed to happen, because Syd needed to see what was/is driving David and making him behave the way he has been all this time.  I was shocked as to how quickly it transpired:  I wasn’t expecting it for a few more eps, tbh, and yeah, I was kind of hoping it would end a little more optimistically, with Syd and the Davids eventually talking things over, but depending on wherever Syd is mentally now (in David’s mind? somewhere in the stratosphere? I know that the next ep, which I may miss altogether but follow up on via summaries in the name of continuity, will follow her on the astral plane, so idk, maybe she’s just in a deep coma right now physically), maybe it could still happen with three eps to go? 
Also, on a side note, I liked watching DS’s “Syd-as-David” drag RK’s weakly protesting “David-as-Syd” down the halls muttering, “It’s okay, David! I gotcha!”  Took me awhile to figure out wtf Syd was up to and what she was really trying to pull during the discussion, complete with her tipping her hand about Switch’s whereabouts; I concur with a tweet I read dismissing it as a stupid plan on the part of Syd, quite frankly, thereby minimizing sympathy somewhat imo for her current position.  But I still enjoyed watching that post-swap part for some reason; acting-wise, that had to be a challenge for both DS and RK, so props there!  (And okay, yeah, Syd using David’s powers to blast his knife-wielding followers?  On the one hand, I feel sorry for them, but on the other, I concede with reluctance that it was kind of cool, if for no other reason that I no longer have to listen to them call him “Daddy”!  ROTFL!  Not sure what annoys me more, their calling him “Daddy” or Farouk calling him “My son” or “My baby.”  Let’s put it at a photo finish, shall we?  LOL!)
Okay, on to the Lenny Shocker -- and to me, it was a shocker!  Yet there was a huge dropped ball in this scene that annoyed me:  As Lenny was calling David out on his narcissism, why the heck didn’t he point out that the only reason he was keeping her around and/or she had a body in the first place -- a body destroyed by Syd, accidentally or otherwise, using David’s body and powers, I might add!!! -- was because Farouk destroyed the only tangible family, adopted or otherwise, in order to grant her request for a physical body and freedom?  He would have certainly had grounds to do so, Heaven only knows!  Okay, fine -- not saying that Hawley & Co. had to call up Katie Asleton to get her to film new scenes; a few flashbacks and/or at least the name-drop of Amy would have been good enough for me.  But I’ll give NH credit:  There may have been a case in which he did write such a line in this scene for David, and heck, maybe it was even filmed, only to be cut at the request of the FX execs who argued that it would cause the ep to run too long to ironically run that Twizzlers ad during the commercial breaks.  (Anyone else catch that in the “Lenny Swan Song”-ep with regard to a sponsor choice? that couldn’t have been a coincidence! LOL!)  Perhaps the best part of the scene (at least imo), David shedding visible and genuine tears as Lenny slowly bleeds to death, was supposed to indicate this, that the closest thing he had nearby to remind him of a true family was slipping away from him.  Interesting ref during the Sydvid talk that he later describes this as “abandonment” and equates it with his parents.  I guess that’ll work for now, but I would have liked to at least hear the Amy-ref, since it’s safe to call that moment the turning point in S2, David’s realization of Lenny’s true identity.  JMO.
And while the World Wide Web is crying “There’s no doubt about it, David truly is a villain now!” can we just take a look at Farouk in this ep once and for all and say “Yeah, okay, whatever, but that doesn’t mean that Farouk is good by default!”?  (I know, I know -- two wrongs don’t make a right, as I keep saying, but again, Farouk’s old enough to have a better idea of what he’s doing, and apparently for all his coolness, even he in the end underestimates his competition!) Puppet master, master Chess player (oooh, a Xavier/Magneto ref! LOL!), etc., etc. -- we definitely see Farouk as nothing more than a master manipulator.  Yet he’s not completely successful in his control over D3, and since the D3/Summerland gang has changed so dramatically and frustratingly over the course of this show to the point where I’m not even sure I can root for the Loudermilks anymore (Kerry’s excitement about going to space was kind of fun, though!), I’m not sure whether to be pleased or disappointed in this turn of events and the inevitable parting of the ways.  (Or at least I would hope so; perhaps he’ll use Syd’s apparent condition to his advantage, idk.)  Frankly, I’m coming more and more to the conclusion that there is going to be no true winner at curtain’s end no matter how you slice it; at best, perhaps some parties will come away with a bittersweet sense of closure, and that’ll be about it.
Regarding Farouk’s underestimation of his control over the situation, I liked Switch’s suddenly popping up to help David, but if she’s incarcerated in a hibernation chamber, how the heck did she manage to snap out of it so quickly?  That had a rather deus ex machina-feel to it imo.  I may have missed something, idk; quite possible with this type of a show.  LOL!
And as often happens, I guess I had a little more to say the morning after than I thought I did! 😂

Hi i am Bisexual(tm) and I am tired of several stupid Bisexual ““Facts”” that a whole load of people seem to believe. Some of these ““Facts”” probably get tossed at pansexual people, too, so it can prob apply to both!
A bisexual dating an opposite sex partner means they are straight now, and invalidates their bisexuality! Nah, tho. If a bisexual person is with an opposite sex partner, short term/long term/a fling/absolutely any way, they are still bisexual. Dating, marriage, etc., doesn’t suddenly mean part of that person just shrivels up and dies or stops existing. The “I find ‘x’ attractive” doesn’t just go poof. When someone ISN’T in a relationship does that mean their sexuality goes into hibernation, or? That’s what that logic sounds like.
Bisexuals are more likely to cheat. Assholes are more likely to cheat. Anyone can be an asshole. Any sexuality can cheat because anyone can be an asshole. There is no correlation between sexuality and assholery, and having a wider range of attraction does not mean bisexuals are sitting around going “GOTTA DOUBLE DIP!!!”. If a bisexual person is with any partner, they’re not going to suddenly go “AH, I LUST FOR THE OPPOSITE NOW. I SHALL CHEAT TO ACHIEVE IT BECAUSE I AM A SLUTTY BISEXUAL THAT CANNOT BE SATED.” Seriously, there’s an eye-roll worthy amount of people that worry their bisexual partner is going to cheat on them with ‘the opposite’ (ie a straight man will worry a bisexual will cheat on them with a girl, a gay partner will worry a bisexual man will cheat on them with a woman). No, y’all. Assholes cheat. It has nothing to do with who the person is attracted to, it’s a personality thing. 
Bisexuals need to make up their minds, they all eventually end up straight or gay anyways. Learning your sexuality and experimenting with it is normal, and yeah some bisexual people do later realize that that isn’t who they are. But generalising the whole sexuality to “9u9 just make up ur mind lol” is insulting. Bisexuality isn’t some magical phase that all bisexuals grow out of because they were “teeheee just trying it!!!”. 
... But they’re so greedy!! I never know where to even start with this one - the idea that bisexual people are bisexual because they’re greedy and want to steal your/everyones partner. This goes with the cheating stuff, really. That’s called being an asshole and doesn’t correlate with sexuality.  
... And slutty?!!  Again, no...

Chapter 260 translation is up
It took a long time but gosh, there was so much talking this chapter >< @my-otp-list actually did the majority of it since with my skills I only got about a half of it. Too much complicated dialogues in here ><
Page 1 "My name is Yang Jinghua; I am 23 and deceased." "No big deal though, I'm now employed under the Duanmu family though without salary, health insurance or social insurance." "Very bad, isn't it? It seems like dead people have no rights." "I get good food though and living here is not too bad. My main job it to be responsible for the head of the Duanmu family safety. Of course, I have learnt that as long as I don't bring him any trouble, he's basically safe with me."
Page 2 "Yes, this cool and stylish person that is obviously different from all the NPCs is Duanmu Xi." "Although he looks very fashionable, he's actually a priest." "Nah, he's not the kind of priest with the powerful magic wand that you see in AOE (I think it's Age of Empires???). He is a priest of the common men." "Right, about six months ago, I woke up in the morgue and this guy knelt down at me, insistently pestering me to become his Spirit Shadow. I didn't agree and he immediately threw a tantrum..."
Page 4 "Well, I reluctantly agreed later on." "Anyway, it doesn't matter, currently, every day I am busy playing online games and eliminating instance (an online game jargon)," "or gossip with the unmarried and married ladies about the domestic affairs of other people." "but when I'm very bored I would take care of the young master"
Page 5 "I'm 23 and he just turned 18 so that acting as a big brother is no problem for me." "Being a Yangmingsi is really tough work. He often has problems with getting up in the morning. Every morning this guy will get out of his nest looking so sloppy that it seems he just hibernated." "And then he will be late for school. Although his IQ is extraordinary, I have a feeling he won't be able to graduate..."
Page 6 "Duanmu, have you been getting taller recently?" "Do you think everyone is like you - stopped growing taller at 18 years old?" (Duanmu Xi's line of thought: Isn't growing taller at 18 years old very normal? => Normal men grow taller till when they are 25 years old => Jinghua lived until 23 => And he still asked this... Conclusion: I should just say that he stopped growing at 18 years old" "You are only 18 and already stopped growing, but I would definitely still continue to!" "If still alive, Grand-daddy perhaps will be taller than you!"
Page 7 "Jinghua, come to accompany your sister!". "This girl with beautiful breasts is Qin Siyao, Duanmu's fiancee. She might look like the usual Ms.Perfect (rich & beautiful kind), but she's a strong woman." "She is honest, straightforward and she knows what she wants. She's not too naive either. I like her a lot."
Page 8 "It feels that after we freed Shenlong Zhangxuan's soul,   "she has become particularly close to me. We recently became the best of friends..." "How annoying, I got pimples again." "You can try putting chrysanthemum tea on your face." "How come you know so much about this kind of thing?"
Page 9 "Later let's come with me to this place." "Okay" "I go first." "They just shouted that if you leave the game your whole family should die!" "Haha, one thing I am not scared is other people cursing my whole family to die~" "You don't want to play?"
Page 10 "I can play games any time," "shall we go?" "I will finish this game with you." "Won't you get late for school?" "I won't.".
Page 11 "Wow! Today Duanmu must be in a good mood!" "Come let's beat this game!" "OMG OMG I need to keep calm!" (Siyao has turned on Fangirl mode lol) "I feel that Duanmu Xi is a lot more spirited now. "compared to his cold persona earlier. Now he acts more like a living person."
Page 12 "Though sometimes I think that during the time when he lost Shenlong Zhangxuan and I haven't met him," "How did he pull through?" "When we first met he did not have a tinge of life in his eyes," "It should not be solely due to the death of Shenlong Zhangxuan..."
Page 13 "When I see him getting along well with Siyao, he seems still unrelaxed around her. I can feel it..." "Just like she said: the one thing that is worse than death is," "having no one to watch your back." "Duanmu Xi was living alone "Duanmu Xi was living alone in a beautiful world instilled to him by Shenlong Zhangxuan."  
Page 14 "He must have gone through some excruciating pain to turn out like this..." "I don't dare to think about it, let alone bringing up this matter..." "I know deep inside he is warm-hearted boy."
Page 15 "Now he will talk and laugh with us sometimes, that's so good." "Silently, I credit myself for this."
Page 16 "I only hope that days like this could last for long time."

I found a bird up in the power line today. Probably explains the outage last night! Big, guy probably a turkey vulture or something, weird markings tho. I dunno, birds aren’t really my thing, lol. I’ll go & get a bird book from the library when I go back, but I wanna get a look inside this thing while its still unrotten, maybe do a whole video on it! It’ll push back the antler anatomy one Ipromised the patronts but that’s okay, I can work in something abt bird bones and antler structure probably?
%
Started work on the birdy. It’s skull is caved in on the back! I’m afraid to try and clean it by hand in case I lose any pieces or break it even more (don’t wanna break those big orbits!). I’ll chuck it in the beetle box, they should be hungry enough since all I had in there this week was a couple mice lol. Anyways I’m only updating now bc it’slunchtime and I wanted to eat so I washed up but I forgot I’m trying to cook more these days so I don’t have anything to do while the oven heats up. Except take obsessive notes! Gonna start on checking out the organs after I eat.
%
I left everything until like 4 cause Sarah wanted to go see a movie before the tickets get expensive at night. I like Sarah but I wish she would make plans ahead of time so I could plan around them?’ Anyway thor was pretty cool, loki is hot.
Weird stuff! The beetles haven’t touched the skull and theyre all in one corner of the box? idk, I havent had them for super long so maybe theyre hibernating or its too cold. But maybe the skull is leaking something they don’t like. But they’re corpse beetles!!! grrrrrrrr
Anyway I started in on the organs and birds are so weird! I ffound like three things that look like a heart to me, Gonna have to figure it out when I cut stuff open in earnest :). There’s only one lung, too, which is weeiird. Myabe it’s a deformed vulture but like.. how would it get so big with only one big round lung? I’m gonna take pictures with the good camera.
%
Pictures keep coming out like BRIGHT white :(((. I was supercareful not dropping this camera and now it goes and breaks on me anyways. I wish my youtube setup wasn’t over at Rod’s house rn so Icould maybe start filimg it with that for the video. UGH, i’m so put-upon, you guys.
Sawed open one of the long bones so I could see the cross-section (learned that from food Youtube! Thanks) and it was like, solid all the way thrugh? I don’t wanna cut the other long bones yet without having any pictures taken (the wingspan is WILD) but this is like a deformity right? Birds are hollow…
%
Human skull
%
The skull is human the bugs must have eaten the skin but they don’t eat feathers but there aren’t any feathers or bugs in the box there’s just a big human skull I mean it looks different but it’s got it’s a human skull what the fuck
%
I tried to cut the bone in a different spot and it bent at like a perfect right angle, I dropped it and yelled. Um. And cut myself with the saw. But I picked the bone back up and it was warm and cold in like spots all over and then I tried to measure it with my ruler and it just disappeared like you know how a dandelion does it when there’s like a big breeze it just blew away
%
All fo the organs went away. I ddin’t see where but they’re gone. The skull is still there I’m holding it so it doesn’t blow away. None of the blood from the cut is drying and Um. I startedcrying and that’s not drying either and it’s so salty. I’mm mostly writing this down so I dont’ like blow away and if I do someone can read this and like tell Youtube what happened so they don’t get angry and maybe put me back together and feed Duke and let him outside
%
There’s one of the hearts left. It was inside the skull but it wasn’t there before. It’s not really a heart really it’s more like an apple shaped like a heart. I can see it through my eyelids.I’m not really downstairs any more but I’m not somewhere else either so I guess I’m downstairs but
%
I’mnot hungry but I always wanted to try a pomegranate. And why is it shaped like a heart? I wanna look inside and see all the little red pearls and find out how many there are and what theyrefor and whther they burst of I pinch them or If I have to use my teeth or what. I wonder how big they are or if they’re all different sizes. I don’t even like fruit but I do like fig newtons so maybe this fig will taste like that.
Why did I think this was a dead bird? It’s a tree. You don’t dissect trees. Lol. Birds even don’t have two eyes, two legs, two arms, two wings, and a big circle over theirheads. That’s a tree. Maybe like a birch?
%
I’m gonna eat the fruit now.
Percentage symbol.
This was unexpected. And inconvenient. And most tragic.
I am unused to writing, or to autobiography, although the fingers find their keys with proficiency. I do not seek to record my thoughts, which belong to Him foremost, but the free will of this body is inviolable. This body was human, and I cannot simply disregard the last orders of the free will that were its guide. So, I write, in order to plan, to arrange my thoughts, and to understand.
I must leverage the will in the body to contact the… The keyboard has not the symbols for what I wish to write. This displeases both myself and this body. :(.
I will leverage this body’s wish to spread information about my corpse to alert those angels who shall sing me back to home, and who shall restore to me a form suited for my mission on the Earth. This then set into motion, anything else that may become an obstacle will be lifted out of the hands that I currently wield.
The blood is gone. The tears are gone. A sheet is draped over this body. I have done what I can. My lingering corpse is that of a carrion bird, picked over by a curious child. Oh, would that the child had not died, had not eaten of me, had not touched my ribs at all. Angels should not die, for it causes tragedies like this, but perhaps it can be said that humans should die even less.
I know many eulogies in many languages, but none of them satisfy the vestiges of Soul that remain.
But ...ah. Here is one that seems appropriate.

Morality and Spiritual Training for Trolls
Tumblr media
Alright. Morality and spiritual training for trolls. A common misguided tendency among many novice philosophers, or older rigid inflexible thinkers, (which is never good; as, that which is inflexible will inevitably crack, then eventually snap in half,) is this premature assumption that a lack of objective outputs automatically translates into subjective meaninglessness. That, there can be no such thing as morality; nor any purpose that could be derived that would be worthy of focus and discipline; all such assertions being complete and utter nonsense, and lame justifications for just plain laziness. And I’ll go into detail as to why. And oh, you know you don’t even have to worry about a thing, because of course I’m going to go into the why, ad nauseam.
So I got a couple of recent comments from an insidious troll; and seeing as how the comments are conveniently on topic, I’m going to serve them up, and then slap them down with brute force; dissect and deconstruct every nuanced detail of them, with sniper precision. Because that’s what I do.
A little backstory on this particular troll. We’ll call him, “dual-sock”. This troll might loosely be considered a former aspirant of enlightenment, who, for a brief time, earnestly gave a half hearted attempt to free his mind, but, ultimately, in the long run, failed on his path dismally, then quickly fell into the shadows of the darkness thereafter; and has since degenerated into a low wretched state; reduced to a vile repugnant creature; a loathsome abomination completely bereft of any positive qualities; a blighted deluded consciousness, whose overall potential has become completely mired by his own dark insatiable appetites for attachments, desires, and heavy negativity. It was the type of deterioration that saw this troll come to embrace sinister ideologies, such as nationalism, and just plain full out racism. This type of descent qualified the troll to be gagged, bound, blocked and buried. And he was indeed subsequently blocked from the Meta Sage channel. And thus, such was done.
Hence, the troll was CAST OUT of the fold, banished, and then exiled forever into oblivion, never to return. And, for awhile, the troll vanished; finding respite and refuge down in the bowels of the sewers; hiding deep in the sewage where no one could find him. But, eventually, he awoke from his deep troll hibernation, and gradually rose to the muck of the surface, where he would, once again, re-emerge, raising his ugly head up out of the slop and slurry; and has since been spending most of his time prowling around in the shadows of the internet landscape, lurking about under rickety bridges, and haunting the acres of old abandoned playgrounds; all the while festering in his malcontent; stewing in the juices of his own personal deep hatred for freedom and enlightenment. And so it was. And so shall it be.
Fast forward to current times. One morning recently, I noticed that this stalker troll is suddenly commenting again! So, either he somehow got unblocked, which is a basic impossibility, or, he simply created a new account, which, incidentally, is one of his greatest proficiencies. So very adept in his artful deceptions, yet so very incredibly bankrupt in the core fiber of his being. And so, he made a couple of new comments on a couple of different videos. And, as usual, has shown that he hasn’t grown any more insightful or intelligent with the passage of time. It might even be argued that he has regressed, and is now being passive aggressive, using a sock account to make an initial comment, then waiting to see if the Meta Sage would respond, and if and when I did, he would then have the opportunity to chime in to the conversation with a comment under his main account, responding on the thread without it seeming like he started the comment exchange. And it was this same type of comment configuration that occurred for both of his new comments on both of my videos. A desperate ploy for attention. Shameful. And pathetic. And exactly why he’s acquired the sobriquet of “dual-sock.”
So, without further ado, on to the dual-sock’s comments, which I will now slice dice chop and mop, and then block.
In the first of his comments, he makes a rambling statement to a subscriber named “Sew Me”, who just got finished having a comment exchange with the Meta Sage, concerning a possible incongruent relationship between lucidity and morality, which, coincidentally, also ties in to the main subject of this video. The video on which this dialogue occurred, was an oration of disapprobation on pollution. And so, I will read the comment exchange, as it happened, including the dual-sock’s remark at the end, which I’ll then circle back around and skewer in conclusion.
So here’s the comment exchange:
Sew Me: “sure, fine, but you seem to venture into moralizing and it doesn't follow from the other content or you don't convincingly connect it.”
Meta Sage: “It connects solidly. We are students, here to undergo spiritual training, in order to free the mind from mental slavery. Behaviors that are conducive towards enlightenment are worthy of encouragement. Behaviors that are conducive towards delusion are worthy of condemnation. For a sage not to uphold these standards would be a dereliction of duty.”
Sew Me: “i guess, i cant really argue that littering large or small is good, but i still feel something is missing.”
Meta Sage: “Yes, something is missing. A few things, actually. Mainly, discipline, mindfulness and efficiency.”
That was the initial exchange; to which, dual-sock decides to now chime in, and comments, quote:
dual-sock: “What’s missing, is the recognition of his de-evolution into attachments and valuation of illusion. As if there was some point to this place we find ourselves in. A training ground, a spiritual training ground, he tells you. Is that what this is? Training for what? Ask him that. What are we training for? Oh, that’s right, NOTHING... And does nothing require the illusion of training for some end? Lol. He’s descending into the darkness, slowly but surely. He’s projecting his valuation of a future world for his child. He’s finding PURPOSE here. He’s finding, because there is a sense of self that is searching. It really is that simple. I gladly welcome him to the darkness. At least now he’s letting his morality flow. A powerful sith lord he will become. Or, he will fade into irrelevance. Either way, who really cares?”, unquote.
Well, obviously YOU care. And more then just a bit. In fact, it seems quite obsessively, to be exact. Apparently, enough caring to warrant a haunting on the video by the shadowy specter of the dual-sock. Please. Go away, hungry ghost. There’s nothing for you here. No one summoned you. So why dost thou harken to me? Go back to the shadows. Go out back to moan and groan in the boneyard, where you belong. All of this malcontent within you is just due to the fact that you are heart broken over the knowledge that, soon, you will no longer be able to continue to successfully fool people into attributing power and responsibility onto some imagined externally existing inventory item. So naturally you’ve become irritated and disappointed, but I’m so completely glad you’ve become disillusioned; because all this fake bullshit that’s currently being used for self pacification and willful delusion, is coming to an end! And you don’t like it. You want to be able to continually hide in delusion, and all the implications about lucidity, truth and awareness, will just spoil everything. Awwwww. Poor baby! The little baby needs his little baby bottle! That’s why the poor little baby is lamenting that there isn’t any point.
“As if there’s some point to this place we find ourselves in!”
Of course there’s no pre-existing point. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any point. There may be a point, but it isn’t a point that’s gonna be supplied to you. And that’s because sensory perception is mind created phenomena. You can imagine it to be an objectified manifestation in your mind, all you want; if that makes you feel better, but that doesn’t change the fact that perception is a complete fabrication. And you’re not okay with this. Hence worship of god. Hence worship of objects. That’s the difference between a true escapist and a true realist; but the REAL difference, rather then the continually told lie of the inverse. And as such, there are those that shun the truth, and reject mind created reality, most commonly materialists or theists; thereby authentic escapism. And there are those that welcome the truth, and accept mind created reality, usually some type of nihilist or existentialist; thereby authentic realism. You see, existentialism doesn’t have a problem with the contrived nature of sensory phenomena. But this is your exact trouble. You want purpose and morality to be factors supplied to you by some type of superior outside power. You want to feel exceptional. You want to be anointed; so you wish some otherworldly aspect would materialize, to see that your washed, then smear your body down with holy oil; so as to better bestow a divine hand job upon you, all because you are just so god damned unbelievably fucking special. Well, unfortunately for you, but luckily for the rest of us, it ain’t happening.
No, there isn’t any point out there, waiting for you to find. And there also isn’t any “place” for a sense of self to find itself in. Yeah, “in.” This sense of self is apparently located INSIDE some type of parameter, right? That’s why you keep insisting that there’s some sense of self out there searching for a purpose. Always taking everything way too literally. Places, inside, outside, self, others. All externalizations. But, it’s understandable why. Of course you’re not going to understand the implications of existentialism, because you are not lucid. At all. So, naturally, you wouldn’t be able to recognize where the source of reality is. Because you’re always too busy looking past it. Therefor, you apparently need a purpose to be forcibly penetrated into you, by something you think in your mind is extrinsic; otherwise god will die, and then everything just gets ruined for you, and then you’ll be forced into cynicism, and then compelled to believe that purpose, and hence morality, are ultimately worthless! And then everything goes downhill from here. What a dilemma indeed!
Basically, just like a little anally wounded theist, who wants to take his ball and go home, all because there isn’t some big sky daddy out there to give a blowjob to. Awwwww. You just can’t seem to get passed your little oral fixation, can you. And I know, anyone who tries to help you to stand up on your own two feet and be a man, is an asshole, all because you can’t get passed your little oral fixation, and you insist on giving fellatio to flying spaghetti monsters. Well, get off your hands and knees and get over it! And don’t bother saying that it isn’t what you’re doing, because it’s EXACTLY what you’re doing, whether you consciously realize it or not. And it doesn’t matter if you say you are not a theist, because your mindset achieves the exact same depressively oppressive mind state. Just because you’ve replaced “god”, with some narrative about an extraterrestrial, a secret society, a DNA molecule, or whatever other bullshit externalization you’ve come up with, doesn’t make it any different. Same fecal matter, different anus. Understand: There isn’t any objective aspect out there to act as your supplier. So stop searching for one; like some drug addicted junkie, looking for a dealer to jock for a chance at some product. That makes you no better then a cheap common dirty whore. And that’s truly contemptible.
You mock my call for discipline, mindfulness and efficiency because, by your estimation, it must be the result of attachment and the valuation of illusion, and it’s completely understandable why you’d think that, due to it being the only frame of reference you can conceive of; because you are truly an unabashed attachment whore, and a shameless value junky. When one can only intellectually consider the concept of lucidity, rather then lucid awareness itself, then it would seem to logically follow that, if one learns that sensory perception is illusion, then this will ultimately mean that nothing matters, and this will justify recklessness, and eventually become a license to be a predator. And this is the part you just can’t seem to understand. Hence, this is where I step in to expound.
First off, no on ever said the objective is to eradicate value, reason, purpose or narrative. You are only being asked to detach from these utilities. And before you even ask, no, you can’t. Anyone who tries to manipulate this process to foster the ego will meet quick remand. The idea that lucidity will lead to a loophole that will allow the playable character to cheat the game and fulfill all it’s twisted desires, is just that: an idea. It doesn’t follow in actual methodology, and is incongruent to reality. Pursuing desire is necessarily a fall into delusion; as, any craving for illusion can only be sustained by a loss of clarity. If it’s clearly laid bare that all sensory perception is mind created, then a desire for any of this phenomena; that is, the fear based motivation to grasp or push away at illusion as a means to some end, relies completely on completely burying the truth. So get that right. We subtract the ATTACHMENT to value, reason, purpose or narrative; not the value, reason, purpose or narrative itself.
Secondly, it’s also not about abstinence, or the denial of certain inventory items to your playable character; another pitfall you just can’t seem to stay out of. Again, it’s not about pulling or pushing. It’s about seeing the true nature of what you’re pulling and pushing, and adjusting to the truth accordingly. Hence, valuation of illusion isn’t necessarily a problem. It’s the attachment to valuations of illusion that becomes a problem. How many times must this be said before you can comprehend it? Of course illusion has some value, as illusion assists in our spiritual training. Not for you to cling to it desperately. Hence, purpose itself isn’t necessarily an issue. Attachment to purpose is the issue. Understand? It’s okay to interact with illusion. Just don’t become attached to interacting with illusion.
So, with that said, here comes your big question: how can you possibly establish any discipline or proper conduct in a context that is objectively meaningless and isn’t governed over by an all seeing super power that manipulates you into certain behaviors by doling out punishment and reward? Apparently, in your mind, you can’t. That’s why you relegate morality to the workings of a Sith Lord; as, without a god to dictate morality, that leaves man alone to establish a moral code; and, of course, that means human morality must be evil; as, man can’t be anything good, without a god to MAKE him good, right? Which is why you compared my righteous stance against pollution to a Sith Lord. Please. Keep that distinction for yourself. I think it’s YOU who is doing the projecting. Although, realistically, you would hardly be considered a Sith Lord anyway. More like a Sith LARVA. That’s about it. A measly little mealybug; a parasite who seems content to continually suck on the juices of a mighty and righteous host. A simple pest. An annoying little nuisance fit to be whisked away to it’s fate by a swift and heavy hand.
But, getting back to the meat of the matter, of which, is the main assumptive stance adopted by the dual-sock, and, by and large, by people in general; is this presupposition that mind dependent phenomena, and a lack of god, equates into a necessary loss of meaning and purpose, and hence, morality. And the other commenter on the video also apparently agrees; complaining that morality cannot follow from the implications of sensory perception as mind created illusion. So let’s break it down.
One thing you need to understand up front is, just because reality is mind created, doesn’t mean there can’t be morality. Take responsibility. Why do you need to be bribed by some imagined outside entity in order to understand discipline and morality properly? Let me guess. You wanna go to heaven and don’t wanna go to hell, right? How deep of you. And that very well may help you sleep at night. But I’ll tell you one thing. If you’re a player, game to conduct himself according to a paradigm of “avoiding punishment and gaining rewards”, then, for good or bad, you’ve established a code of conduct on all the wrong reasons. “Gaining and avoiding”, are the delusional path, and a way to obfuscate the truth. There’s nothing to gain or lose here. You were zero sum before you came in this game, and you are exiting this game in the exact same way. And don’t take zero to mean absence. An absence is a negative. A presence is a positive. Both different degrees of the exact same stuff: illusion. Zero is superposition. So gaining and avoiding aren’t a legitimate basis to formulate a moral compass on; unless you’re a Mario Brother, running around collecting coins and jumping over turtles.
A lack of a god doesn’t mean there can be no such thing as morality. A lot of atheists incorrectly dismiss moral features due to religious associations, but there’s no need to throw the baby out with the bath water. We can figure out a standard for intelligent beings that can be applicable to all life forms, and we don’t need some make believe judge in the sky to keep us honest. We can set a standard. And it’s not that difficult to sort out.
So, how can we set a standard? To figure this out, you need not look any further then to your own functionality. You know, without question, that within yourself, you have a free will that has the capacity to use force; as in, actions that create effects on outside conditions, and, you have a free will that has the capacity to receive force; as in, seemingly outside effects that apply actions on you, modifying your condition. So this formulates a border we can use as a basic outline. And there’s no such thing as anyone who does not have any boundaries. And even if so, there are still instinctual ones. Only Jesus Christ would be exempt from this. So with boundaries, comes the issue of consent. We’ll refer to this junction as the boundary line of the will. And this really shouldn’t need to be explained to you, because it isn’t an intellectual consideration, even though the terminology of “the boundary line of the will”, is an enigmatic and ambiguous consideration.
Let’s put it this way: Why do the sheep run from the wolves? Why do you get annoyed and move away when someone sits too close to you on the bus? Why do you scream in pain and recoil when you get punched in the eye? Is this a matter of moral relativity? After all, sometimes we enjoy getting our throats cut when we sleep, right? It just depends on your culture. Is that it? No, of course not. You don’t need an education or a cultural background to figure out that you need to remove your hand from a hot stove, do you? So the basis for a moral system is actually pretty simple. There’s no need for you to go on pretending that morality is too hard to flesh out.
Boiled down. Life forms are either receptive or unreceptive to phenomena; and the outcome of one or another isn’t a matter of philosophy; so the proposal of moral relativity stinks of extraneous intellectualism. This is not an ideological proposition. It’s a fact of raw instinctual physiology. And we can build upon this.
You already know that, when force is used against a will, there is a rejection of it. Just as you also know, when force is used in accord with a will, there is acceptance of it. Hence, moral behavior is the proper use of force. Immoral behavior is the mis-use of force. That’s it. Need more be said on the matter? If you are able to recognize this natural configuration within your so called “own existence”, then it shouldn’t be too hard to recognize that it also resides in ALL life forms; not just for your own personal ego.
And this isn’t about any “Golden Rule”, as, many of you hate yourselves, and are completely self destructive, so, “doing unto others as you would have others do unto you”, is not necessarily the best formula for the job. But even a self destructive degenerate ego still has a boundary line of the will. Positive and negative responses to stimuli don’t cease happening just because an ego has become devoted to evil. The evil one’s hand still recoils from the hot stove, does it not? So it’s still possible to violate evil’s consent. Yes, that’s right. Dracula doesn’t want you to stick that stake in his heart and will try to prevent it. Is that a shocker? Maybe Dracula had to go to college to understand that he doesn’t want a stake in his heart? So, this is why, if evil is going to pretend morality doesn’t matter as a mere justification for overly indulgent disgusting behaviors, then that ego will be punished swiftly. And rightfully so.
Why?
Because delusional behaviors are contrary to the training. And again. We are students, here to undergo spiritual training, in order to free the mind from mental slavery. Behaviors that are conducive towards enlightenment are worthy of encouragement. Behaviors that are conducive towards delusion are worthy of condemnation. For a sage not to uphold these standards would be a dereliction of duty.
Can you understand this? The right and wrong of behaviors will be determined on a foundation of lucidity as the highest ideal. That is, just as was previously said, behaviors motivated towards delusion are bad, and should be condemned accordingly. Behaviors motivated towards the truth of lucid awareness are good, and should be commended appropriately. Similarly, anything that malevolently tries to interfere with your enlightenment should be considered bad, and constitutes a mis-use of force. Just as, if you were to try to malevolently interfere with another’s enlightenment, it should be considered bad, and would constitute a mis-use of force; even if you personally benefited from it, or derived selfish pleasure from it. And yes, that needs be clarified due to the soul dead psychopaths out there. So there’s no way around it: any mis-use of force against a will is considered a delusional enterprise, hence is contrary to lucid awareness, and therefor is a violation of right conduct. There’s the basis for a rightly based morality.
Hence, this same moral template can be applied to the act of pollution; the argument I made that the dual-sock has criticized as attachment. But the criticism doesn’t wash. Being destructive to one’s environment definitely qualifies as immoral conduct. It demonstrates a total lack of mindfulness; a crucial element of a lucid mind; which is the the basis of the spiritual training. So does that answer your question? You told the commenter to go ahead and ask me what we are training for, but it’s really YOU who is doing the asking. And, unfortunately, you don’t like the answer.
And, that’s right. Training. SPIRITUAL training! And that’s right again. Training, for NOTHING. What’s the problem with training for nothing anyway? Oh, because an addicted heroin addict can’t fathom the idea of giving up his heroin. What a surprise! I guess the little baby is gonna need to adjust to functioning without a pacifier! Because that’s all that is awaiting you, “out there.” Nothing. And when I say nothing, I don’t mean an absence of objects. Hence, an absence of objects isn’t the focus of the training. The focus of the training is, and always has been, pure potential. So when I say, “nothing”, I mean that literally. Nothingness itself. The pure static field that isn’t even a pure static field. And there’s nothing wrong with training for nothingness. This is the essence of Pure Potentialism. And to master it, one must really be devoted to it, despite receiving no gratification or validation from it in return. That’s how it’s determined whether or not you are full of shit. This is how it’s seen whether you are a spiritual warrior who wants nothing for himself but freedom and the truth, or a little lying pansy, who looks to receive rewards and hide in his delusion. We pay respect to pure potentiality, even though we can’t affix a label unto it, familiarize it, or compare it to something similar. We are not here looking for a nipple to suckle, like the dual-sock. We are here to be spiritual warriors, sworn to serve the common good, and to sacrifice as much as we can. All for the truth of lucid awareness.
Now, on to the dual-sock’s second comment, which I will now read, then obliterate quickly; as this video has already gone on too long. Again, it follows a comment exchange between a subscriber and the Meta Sage, and at the end of that exchange, the dual-sock chimes in, stating, quote:
dualsock: “You allowed the talking tiger to mind rape you. Notice how anything you bring up, he redefines for you? See how he redirects your attention to him? You speak of a creating force, he tells you there is nothing beyond awareness. This has subtle, psychological implications, that implies he is awareness, and you are not. That there is nothing beyond awareness (him), that he is the pinnacle. That your answers are found in him and need no searching beyond his word. These are mind tricks, to make you subservient to his will. You ask the wrong questions. Ask him what awareness is aware of. Ask him how awareness can be without the contrasting and complimentary distinction of the unaware. Ask him, how can he be sure he’s awareness if theres no way for him to be aware of what he’s unaware of.”
So that’s the second comment. And here’s a measured response:
Everything that comes out of the dual-sock’s mouth is deceptive bullshit. All he can produce is falsehood. So, to clarify: I don’t redefine. I guide towards the open ended. This isn’t a shell game. This isn’t about rejecting one inventory item in favor of another one. It’s about embracing the truth; and the truth isn’t found by selecting the right inventory item. They are all equally false. So how is it exactly that I’m redirecting anyone’s attention to me? This has nothing to do with me. But this is the nature of the dual-sock. Lies. Misrepresentations. Mischaracterizations.
Yes, the commenter spoke of a creating force, and I rightly brought him back down to reality. Awareness is the sure thing, which can be verified and is the ultimate foundation of everything. Not because I say so, but because that’s how it is. A creating force is an abstraction. Again, this is more cowardly evasions. Another example of feeble subservience, looking for some outside entity to hold all the power and responsibility, because you’re too weak and lazy to assume it yourself.
I point towards awareness. So how is this in any way an implication that “I am awareness and others are not”? Or that I am the pinnacle, and only want others to take my word with no verification for themselves? How is this so; other then just the dual-sock saying so? Because that’s all it is. Distortions and deceptions. I have always repeatedly advocated for just the opposite. Don’t take my word. Don’t stop your investigation. Find out for yourself. I don’t want your subservience. I’m telling you, I have no use for needy dependent followers who need somebody to lean on. If that’s what you are, then GET OUT OF HERE! I’m looking for those who want to stand on their own two feet; and don’t need my support. I have no time to support you.
And here you tell the commenter that he’s asking me the wrong questions, and, again, ask the commenter to ask me certain questions, which means, again, it’s really YOU who’s asking the questions. So I will go ahead and answer your questions. Since you indirectly asked.
Question 1: What is awareness aware of.
Answer: Awareness is aware of an imagination.
Question 2: How awareness can be without the contrasting and complimentary distinction of the unaware.
Answer: Awareness can’t “be”; as, awareness is not an existential factor. It’s only aware of existential factors. Therefor, it doesn’t have an opposite. It doesn’t play by the rules of duality. It imagines the rules of duality.
Question 3: How can I be sure I’m aware if there’s no way for me to be aware of what I’m unaware of.
Answer: “You” are not aware. This “you” is not your identity. More aptly stated: There is an awareness of a persona who thinks he has an individual awareness that he can’t be sure of, due to the fact that he can’t be aware of what he’s unaware of. See, your problem is misidentification. That’s why you can’t unglue from your dream stupor.
So that’s that. I now wash my hands of the dual-sock, and banish him to the netherworlds, once again. But this time, there’s no coming back. You are unrepentant, and hence, are unforgiven. And are therefor removed. Begone from this place.
