evil time loop escape conditions where you can't get out until you've fuucked up your life in the most spectacular way possible, confident that the next night will reset the slate as usual.
instead, the next day comes.
#that's the first chapter btw#the rest of the story is about coming back from the fallout#trying to make amends#something something the hubris of believing you were above consequences#coming to terms with the pain you were willing to cause in the moment because you never thought it would last (but it did)#actually maybe this is just undertale geno route#post cancelled undertale did it already#lol mostly i was trying to figure out if i could get to new york in a daily reset time loop#i probably could if i fucked up my life#and of COURSE that would be the day it didn't reset

Fanart of Aaron from Fox’s Tounge and Kirin’s Bone, an incredible book by @muffinlance
I worked hard on this an am incredibly proud of how it turned out. If you wanna hear about the process, feel free to check out me rambling in the tags.
#fox’s tongue and kirin’s bone#fanart#i really wasn’t sure how this would work out because i rarely ever draw book characters? But I drew this guy Once and that was it#I went ‘yeah that’s my boy. that works’#i mostly went with what i envisioned though i did check the first chapter again to see if it said anything contradicting my design#and it did say Aaron had short hair but you know what? I really want him to have a little ponytail#I think he deserves a little ponytail#so i kept the ponytail#i was originally going to draw him with his silly little coat and add a heck ton of details#but the pose didn’t work out#There’s always next time!#with his current clothes his sash i guess is the most important part?#in the first chapter it talks about Aaron’s knife had been clad in black&gold previously#I assume in reference to the Man#Though I might be wrong#i binge-read the book in like three days#the details have escaped me#but yeah I did the sash with those colors because I thought it’d be cool#anyways i believe that’s most of it#i also have a bunch of doodles i made for warmup before this#that i’m also going to share at some point#i hope you like it!

Well, now I can say I have dreamt about the gay Cstholic dogs as well!
I was writing a story, but the dream’s perspective switched to me watching the story like a movie at some point. It was the modern AU, and Vasco and Machete were travelling to what I think was supposed to be some important landmark in Italy, most likely the Vatican. What was going to happen was that there was going to be a portrait of Vasco and Machete from their canon time period (even though I know this wouldn’t happen at the Vatican), and their friend would point out that it looked an awful lot like them and how strange that was and have the boys react to that, but I woke up before that could happen.
This is the first time I’ve dreamt about them, so I felt compelled to let you know!
.
#oh that's so neat!#you guys keep having cool dreams about my dogs while my dreams are mostly about cleaning my apartment and getting lost in various cities#and being chased by bears occasionally#spoilers but this sounds a lot like the central scene of the last chapter of that Separation fanfic I have on my pinned#but they're in Uffizi gallery in Florence instead of Vatican#dream Vaschete sightings#answered#iamthewanderingbard

team snakemouth gijinka but more of a Fantasy™️ au than just regular humans. featuring our spin on the concepts of halflings and dwarves where they are creature animal. and leif is uh ??? the horrors
bonus doodle
#bug fables#bug fables spoilers#bf vi#bf kabbu#bf leif#gijinka#stuff i made tag#we have never showed the face of our kabbu gijinka before now#we just don't think he's meant to be de-helmeted but it was necessary to show off his funky mole nose and whiskers#most of leif's octopus features are still covered by their clothes though. nobody needs to see that#the bee (halfling) kingdom still lives in a tree like usual#vi here is based on tasmanian devils but they're mostly inspired by possums and the like#the parts about their ages were only included because we think it's funny#vi says she's 13 and means 'im almost an adult' but kabbu hears 'that is a TODDLER'#we have even more thoughts about the setting in general but we should. read more of the thing that inspired this first#about 40 chapters to go... hooray (this is fun to read we are not actually complaining)

hi! any reading you'd rec on bio politics\necro politics? i've recently gotten curious about the concepts so forgive if this is vague or not specific lol. tyy in advance ! hope ur day is good
so, the standard recs you will usually see for getting a theoretical foundation here are:
Foucault's 1978–9 lecture series at the Collège de France, "The Birth of biopolitics", and his 1975–6 series, "Society must be defended" (there are print series of his lectures) (<-these are honestly overrated as sources imho b/c foucault never fully developed these concepts. i would read lecture 11 from the 75–6 series if you absolutely feel you need some foucault, and then skip to whatever else seems interesting)
Achille Mbembe's Necropolitics (2019)
Jasbir Puar's The Right to Maim: Debility, Capacity, Disability (2017)
there are also lots and lots and lots of books that use concepts of bio/necropolitics in their historical and/or political arguments. some i've enjoyed include:
Joshua Cole, The Power of Large Numbers: Population, Politics, and Gender in Nineteenth-Century France (2018: Cornell University Press)
Daniel Nemser, Infrastructures of Race: Concentration and Biopolitics in Colonial Mexico (2017: University of Texas Press)
Andrew Aisenberg, Contagion: Disease, Government, and the "Social Question" in Nineteenth-Century France (1999)
Mie Nakachi, Replacing the Dead: The Politics of Reproduction in the Postwar Soviet Union (2021: Oxford University Press)
Banu Subramaniam, Holy Science: The Biopolitics of Hindu Nationalism (2019: University of Washington Press)
Kyla Schuller, The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century (2017: Duke University Press)
Michela Marcatelli, Naturalizing Inequality: Water, Race, and Biopolitics in South Africa (2021: University of Arizona Press)
Ellen Amster, Medicine and the saints: science, Islam, and the colonial encounter in Morocco, 1877-1956 (2013: University of Texas Press)
Ron Broglio, Beasts of Burden: Biopolitics, Labor, and Animal Life in British Romanticism (2017: SUNY Press) (<-doubles as an introduction into why the 'animal turn' has been such a hot topic historiographically in the past 5 or 6 years)
James Duncan, In the Shadows of the Tropics: Climate, Race and Biopower in Nineteenth Century Ceylon (2007: Ashgate)
René Dietrich & Kerstin Knopf (Eds.), Biopolitics, geopolitics, life: settler states and indigenous presence (2023) (<-haven't read this yet! some of these essays look very promising)
#book recs#biopolitics#there is also a very interesting chapter in nükhet varlık's book on ottoman empire & plague that makes an argument for usage of#the biopolitics framework centuries prior to the 'classic' 19thc case study. however varlık's book is very long and mostly not about that

whats ur beef?
My favourite manga lost the plot so now i cope by being a hater 👍
#long answer is i have beef with the direction that the bsd manga has taken#it only superficially resembles the beloved mystery and character-driven detective agency story with atsushi as the main character#i'm dissatisfied with major developments like killing off fyodor and reviving him and pulling this#PSYCH his ability wasn't what you thought it was. with zero foreshadowing or buildup#because the manga has become full of marvel-movie type plot twists that serve little to no coherent narrative purpose except shock factor#it cheapens the story and it cheapens the development of characters and it cheapens the reader's experience#because we can't speculate and we can't draw connections and parallels and engage with the story on a deeper level#what connections there exist (for example between manga and anime) are shoehorned in after the popularity of the anime and#specific characters (e.g. fyodor who was shoehorned into untold origins in the anime) and mostly the characters who bring in money#i.e. fyodor and dazai and chuuya and their relationships especially soukoku. all this at the expense of characters like atsushi or#the majority of the female cast. who have been MIA for god knows how long and who were barely given frame each in the anime's finale#bsd treatment of its female characters has been subpar shounen level at best and now they're completely sidelined#as with most of the original cast and the original themes of the story. in fact i struggle to identify a coherent overarching theme#for the current arc. other than military action scifi movie go brrrr#compared to early arcs where each chapter had a meaningful message to say about the importance of living and what it means to stay alive and#keep going and why we are fighting to keep important people in our lives and to keep ourselves alive#and what it means to belong somewhere and what it means to be good or bad and how your place of belonging affects that#as a long term reader i just feel betrayed and disappointed. by how a story with complex and vibrant characters has become another#generic cashgrab shounen. and i mourn for the lost potential it had and everything the series has build up#only to have plot points abandoned at a whim.#so that's why i'm a hater now 👍#i know a lot of my bsd mutuals are still big fans of bsd so i try not to be obnoxious about it and mainly keep it comedic#like i don't actually hate the manga. because it's so important to me. and i respect the creators of the manga and anime#but it's frustrating to watch a train wreck in real time. and it's my blog i can hate what i want 😔#sorry if there are typos i wrote all this on mobile and can't edit the tags. i didn't wanna put any of this in the main post

It’s so easy to insult people by not being ableist. This disability pride month, call people dicks more, and wish you could say the r slur instead of what you’re saying there less! This disability pride month, try not to insult people by mocking their possible dementia! Mock how bad they are as a person. This disability pride month, don’t call people you don’t like narcissists. This disability pride month, we’re going to work real hard on expanding that vocabulary of insults you have, so it isn’t all just being a dick to disabled people, to mentally ill people, to neurodivergent people.
Stop using us as a scapegoat. Have you not heard of punching up? ‘Cause you’re punching down, you might not know it but you’re punching down. If you, a neurotypical person, an abled person, a person without a personality disorder, etc, etc, are demonizing and mocking people because of their disability or traits associated, then you’re a dick.
Go get another talking point against TikTok. There’s worse to say about it than it’s just got a bunch of people with the attention span of a goldfish on it. Get another talking point against your abusers, I’m sorry you got hurt, but no way in hell is that justifying you treating people with NPD, HPD, ASPD, BPD, et cetera, like shit. Get another talking point against the politicians you don’t like. Dementia jokes are getting old, and if you don’t shut up about the goddamn addled brain, I’m going to scream. Get another fucking talking point.
Punch up. We’re all down here in the trenches together, stop making us go down, we’re not bloody crabs in a bucket.
#saw one too many things making fun of people for being stupid and just sorta lost it#dont have personality disorder but go them#sorry about the swearing. i got angry#landscaping your mind chapter one#ableism#cw ableism#tw ableism#and yeah mostly focused around mental stuff bc thats what i have experience with

Worm Arc 11 Interludes thoughts:
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Ok. Just in order I think. Sorry for the chaos.
Started off with puppies. I was happy.
Then the puppies started getting a little more violent than needed. I was less happy.
Then Victoria got clowned on a little and I was little bit more happy.
Then the unkillable naked zebra lady showed up everything kinda went downhill. For everyone.
Bitch do not join the supervillain serial killer group, please and thank you.
Seriously though, The Siberian is a bit scary. Just, completely invincible as far as anyone can tell. And super strong.
Theo is having a bad day. And unless someone takes care of Jack Slash for him he's gonna have a bad few years.
Jack Slash is such a poser oh my god. Dude. Come one. You aren't all that.
Also. Jack. Do not toss a loaded baby! That baby had a full diaper. You toss that baby and you are liable to have a containment breach. Speaking from experience, you do not want a containment breach. (Also just don't throw babies of course.)
I hope Theo gets cool powers and is able to become a super amazing hero like he dreams of. On the plus side, probably gonna be lots of opportunities for trigger events coming up. On the minus side, he didn't trigger when Jack Slash was planning on killing him so I don't know if he's gonna be able to.
They were obviously going to go for Labyrinth. She has such amazing powers for mass terror. Though I guess Burnscar never tried to actually recruit her. I assume that was the plan though.
Also Burnscar needs to stop excusing her actions. Just be evil or don't be evil. You don't get to be evil and say it's not your fault (that sure will come up again in these interludes).
I fucking LOVED the description of how Labyrinths powers work. Just the details of everything. So good!
Fucking Colin. Of course they had to go for you. Why can't you just go away and leave my robot daughter alone?
Mannequin is fucking WILD. Like, god damn. Those are sure choices you made. Helps you be creepy as shit though. And get through air vents.
Mannequin writing out "U ME" to Pocketknife Man by laying keyboard keys down on the table one at a time has cursed meet-cute energy.
In the end, Colin survives cause my robot daughter saves him. And I guess she's gonna tell him the truth about being an AI. Fiiiiiiine. I will be polite to Colin if he comes over to dinner. He still needs to apologize to my other daughter though.
Also I'm sure glad the Slaughterhouse Nine won't have any use for the magic pocketknife that can cut through anything that Mannequin took. No worries at all I'm sure. It won't do jack shit for them. Might as well just slash the idea and toss the knife out.
Cool. Some Nazis died. That's great!
Not enough though. Disappointed in Shatterbird.
But if one good thing can come of this whole Slaughterhouse Nine thing, maybe Hookwolf can die. I'm not holding my breath though.
Shatterbird has a very interesting power set. Being specifically glass focused like that. Definitely can see how she would terrorize a city.
Dinah PoV. DINAH POV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok well first off, I obviously hated Coil for Dinah already. Enough that I don't really know if the Dinah PoV can technically make me hate him more. But that said, I hate him more. WTF.
The description of her power was so NEAT though! Had a minor moment of "oh hey this paragraph of this precog talking about her power works inside her head is an almost perfect description of how my brain works" which was wild. I don't actually get to see the future though, which is a major difference.
She can actually just full blow see a possible future holy shit! Wow. Like it hurts and she hates it but it's still crazy.
Also I guessed that Crawler was going to come for Traveler in a Vault (that is Noelle's cape name until I am told different) after the Bitch interlude. I was very happy I got that right since I really knew almost nothing about either.
So Crawler just basically can't die and gets stronger every time he gets hurt. I wonder how long it will take him to reach Endbringer level power?
And Traveler in a Vault is just a large monster that is always hungry and can be driven to the point of eating people. That sucks a lot for her.
Also Leviathan came after her too huh? Well that's probably fine and won't matter in the future.
Regent's sister is worse than he is. That's impressive! Like, not good impressive. But impressive.
Getting real close to the "can't exist" physic power set. I guess it's not quite it though.
She should keep a better eye on her phone battery.
AMY DALLON! I knew it would be you.
I knew you were destined to be a tragedy from the moment I met you. You were always going to become a villain. So once I knew the Nine were recruiting it was a guarantee that you'd be recruited.
Specifically, that you'd be recruited by Bonesaw. She is an artist and obviously she is obsessed over the art you could make together.
Holy shit though that chapter.
Lets see. FUCK CAROL. Victoria gets some excuses, she's a kid, she's following her mom's example, etc. But FUCK CAROL. You are partially responsible for what Amy is about to become.
Despite being terrified, Amy seemed to have a dark fascination with everything Bonesaw was doing and saying. Really listened as Bonesaw explained things.
The more detailed view of what Amy's power does is crazy. She really can do just about anything to someone.
“Why not fix your dad?” is where Bonesaw won. It's about 3/5 of the way through the chapter. And she won at that point. That was the killing blow. The rest of the chapter, the remaining 3.5k or so words, is watching Amy bleed out to drive the point home. It is Panacea's death monologue. It is beautiful and tragic and amazing.
All that said, since she is losing anyway, is it bad for me to want more of Bonesaw's notes? SHE HAS LORE! GIVE IT TO ME!
Dad at least seems pretty good. He made the perfect response after getting healed. Unfortunately she was already gone.
AND THERE IT IS. THERE IS THE THAT FINAL STEP. Fucking rewire your adopted sisters mind to have romantic feelings for you. No you don't get to say it was an accident! You chose to do it. Holy shit Amy. You are going to be an amazing (terrifying) villain.
Callback to Burnscar and blaming her power for her actions.
If Worm was a Disney movie Amy would end up with the best song, 100%. Hellfire or similar levels.
#Worm#Worm Web Serial#Parahumans#Cairavende reads Worm#The Slaughterhouse Nine#Panacea#Amy Dallon#Holy shit there was so much in those interludes!#Bonesaw#Jack Slash#Crawler#Shatterbird#Burnscar#Mannequin#The Siberian#Cherish#The Amy chapter was just so good. The fact that I basically knew it was coming and knew what was going to happen just made it even better.#New Wave was already considering disbanding. I assume after this they crack like an egg.#I'm a little worried about some of my babies though. Bitch. Labyrinth. Hmm I guess mostly just them.#Seriously though the Amy chapter is possibly my favorite chapter in Worm so far. Definitely favorite to live read.#Ever live read Worm so fucking well that a cute girl admits to having a crush on you?#Though despite what the Nine said I don't expect everyone who doesn't join to die. Some probably will die though.#And all that information to process. Stuff from Dinah and stuff from Bonesaw and stuff from Labyrinth!#Oh and I'm sure it's nothing to worry about that Dinah said 2 years is when Jack Slash might trigger the end of the world#and 2 years is the timeline Jack gave Theo to get ready to fight him#I'm sure that won't mean anything.#Oh god and Traveler in a Vault (TiaV)! She is more than just a monster. She is important and I want to know more!!!!!!!!!

Think himself up there? Actually crawl up there?#He generally keeps his abilities pretty realistic when he's a kid which is very cute haha ♥#But even if he did cheat his way up there it's also a very charming thought to realize only in that moment that he's very small and scared#Got himself into a situation he didn't think through and was bad for him! That tracks lol#Edgar goes on a quiet rant about playing safely and Scriabin just ignores him haha#There's also something cute about them both agreeing to cheat for a moment and Edgar pulling him down into the tube with him hehe <3#''Just close your eyes and fall through!'' ''Catch me!'' It's cute 💕#Kidverse is always cute tho ♪ And sad - but mostly cute!!#Also you know this is Requestober over here right?

next chapter of "teach me how to name the bigger light" has been started, approximately 1/6th of the way through and just under 2k. here's a snippet
“It’s not that,” she said quietly, not reaching up to scratch Stella on the chin when the cuddlemonkey nuzzled comfortingly into her cheek. “It’s...” She slipped out of his grasp and pushed the letter into his hand.
Questioningly, Callum unfurled it. Janai’s neat penmanship greeted him at the top, all loopy and regal.
Rayla,
Due to my family’s history from the time of Queen Aditi, it seems an old ghost has come back to haunt us thanks to my idiot brother. Amaya and I have both encountered and fought a Moonshadow elf named Kim’Dael, otherwise known as the Bloodmoon Huntress. She is deadly and can disappear and reappear at will, as well as going in and out of her Moonshadow form without the light of the moon at all.
Not many Moonshadow elves come this way, so we wondered if you had heard of her, or if you might have any information—old folktales perhaps—that may offer aid in defeating her. Anything would be helpful.
Sincerely yours,
Janai
Then, in Amaya’s stubbier, somehow cheekier handwriting, a P.S. You owe us!
Callum looked back up at Rayla’s pale face, swallowing hard as he rolled the letter back up. A Moonshadow elf who could... “Is Kim’Dael really bad, or something?”
Rayla laughed hollowly. “She’s a monster.”
“You say that like you know her.”
“That’s because I do.” Rayla hugged herself, shoulders drawn tight, both small and furious—like it was a bad thing, and not an understandable thing, that she was scared.
#this chapter is Mostly about the broyals + soren & callum & ezran + the sunfire sibs but#still plenty of rayllum i think#some rayla & ez too#fic: teach me how to name the bigger light#upcoming#tdp#the dragon prince#rayllum#kim'dael

“Then hold me, for as long as you like.”
#ephelayer#khux#anyways go read roadie’s overmorrow fic#a certain chapter was mostly abt reflecting into the past and shit BUT#I WAS INSPIRED!!!!#i think about ephemer traveling to the past so much you have no idea#i think it’s funny to think about how little ephe and older ephe meet.#but player. on god. OUSHYASHHHHHHHH#the burden of knowing the inevitable. the desire to reverse a beloved’s unchanging fate#your love is so immense but you don’t know if it’s enough to change fate#to turn back time only to relive it. again and again#instead of changing it. you have to accept it. let go.#even if it hurts. but you love them so much you believe they would want this#and they say so themselves#THIS IS GIVING LIFE IS STRANGE FUCKKKK#ephemer#💚 hoa sen nguyen
