You are not broken. Not everyone vibes with the idea of being a part of a species. You're just as much a part of the otherkin community (if you want to be) as any other non-human♡

Frankly I do not think it's fair to make the other eye motif narrators compete against Jon Sims, especially since Cecil is already out of the equation. The fandom is massive, it's not a fair fight

Cecil is going to be in that bracket though. Regardless of the number of submissions, Cecil will be seeded in position 1 and Jon in position 2. Yes, the finals will likely be Cecil vs Jon, but I thought the Unscripted Bracket finals were going to be Pickman vs Gable, and look how that turned out.

So I watched Encanto and visually I thought it was really well done. I thought some of the music was good namely the stuff that was in Spanish lol. During the main songs I was thinking "this is incredibly bland Lin manuel miranda generic forgettable modern disney music" sure enough he wrote it. Someone pls stop that man

ahhh nothing like the intense waves of sadness that you get on your birthday

"The housewife is a nobody," says Philip Slater, and almost everyone agrees. Her work is menial labor. Even more status-degrading is the unpaid nature of her job. Few deny the economic as well as the sociological importance of housework and homemaking. Housework is part of the great infrastructure on which, as David Riesman has reminded us, the entire superstructure of the economy and the government rests. If women did not supply the services of taking care of the living arrangements of workers, industry would have to do so, as in the case of lumber camps, ships, and the military. But housewives are not in the labor force. They are not paid for the services that they perform.

The low status of the wife's work has ramifications all through her marriage. Since her husband's work is not only higher in status but usually competitive, as hers is not, and he has to meet certain clothing and grooming standards or lose his job, his needs have to be catered to. If there has to be a choice, his new suit is more important than hers. This, quite apart from whatever personal or institutional prestige his work confers, tends to put him in a position of status superiority to the wife.

Housework is a dead-end job; there is no chance of promotion. One cannot grow in it. There is a saying that passes as wit to the effect that Washington is full of talented men and the women they married when they were young. The couple who began their marriage at the same stages of their development find themselves far apart in later years. "Persons who took the initiative in seeking divorce," Nelson Foote has noted, "in explaining their experience, and likewise observers of broken marriages, speak frequently of a mate's having outgrown the other. It is the husband who usually outgrows the wife." Not only does the wife not grow, but the nonspecialized and detailed nature of housework may actually have a deteriorating effect on her mind, as Mary Roberts Coolidge observed long ago, rendering her incapable of prolonged concentration on any single task. No wonder that after hours of passive, often solitary, absorption in television and radio soap operas, she comes to seem dumb as well as dull.

-Jessie Bernard, The Future of Marriage

They really dropped the ball on balance in those first months of 10th edition - and it is mostly everything the fault of Eldar being strong. It essentially becomes a game of "who can bring enough bullshit to the table to just not care if there's eldar or not", and Custodes and Knights are prime examples for that.

GSC meanwhile only shines because their deepstriking potential combined with the more fragile nature of Eldar means they can really get them where it hurts - and at the same time they are essentially a "how much map-presence has your army"-check which makes them obviously a counterpick to Custodes and Knights. My guess is that you probably don't even need to touch GSC in any way balance-wise - the moment the meta shifts away from Eldar and the factions that can stand up to it, they should become weaker automatically.

But looking at the bottom... that's crazy. I do get the 35% Votann, they are essentially half an army right now. It's not like World Eaters that can grab from the general chaos bin to fit their playstyle, they really have a toolbox much smaller than everyone else to draw from. Not sure if you can fix that with balance without making the few tools they have actually totally broken like in 9th edition, but them being on the low end is not entirely unexpected.

And then you look at T'au and you can just feel the weight of their lazily written Index that's keeping them down. It is essentially "What if we gave the shooting only faction actually worse shooting that other nonspecialized factions can bring to the table". There's just... nothing there. You know, I went through the DG datasheets because my usually sparring partner plays that and I was like "hmm yes this can be wonky but I see the pieces and combos that can make it work".

Meanwhile at T'au, a faction that was heavily reliant on sub-faction modifications to make their units even remotely functional, just got nothing. Their synergies are absolutely nonexistent, their abilities sometimes absolutely counteractive (Longstrike giving a Hammerhead Railgun [Lethal Hits] essentially disables the chance to proc mortal wounds if it goes off) - there's just nothing you can actually do with the units. Chaos players be rolling Dark Pacts left and right, Sisters be praying on them Miracle Dice, meanwhile T'au needs to put in the work to get their shooting on marginally a better level than everyone else and even that only from turn 3 onward because all the guns were nerfed to accomodate for that. Everything got tougher, but Fusion Blasters are now wounding most vehicles on a 5+ (from previously 3+ most of the time). Sure some guns got [Twin-Linked] but no relevant abilites to synergize with it and those weapons had their shot-numbers cut in half for that. A bunch of stuff in the game lost one point of AP, but half the T'au mass-fire arsenal was defined by having that one point.

Seriously hoping the September balance update brings some changes because as of right now as a T'au player it's just sad, and as a GSC player I get blamed for meta-chasing when it's not my fault the stuff I counter by design got horribly overtuned.

You got no species? that's so rad!

just another day in the nonspecial student life of kaname and jun

While all demons can do simple nonspecialized tasks like murder or granting magic power, they all have their unique skillsets. Some do have overlaps. All Aspect Demons are also capable of independent multiverse travel and shapeshifting.

Void Demons specialize in obscurity and mothingness. So, they’re good at digging up forgotten knowledge, erasing information, and setting up darkness. Some can even create by dragging things out of nonexistence. They’re also the most dangerous type of Aspect Demon, because they don’t need their contractors to know any details of a deal to make it. Which is the only reason Demon Puppy’s managed to survive. Shaking hands with a Void Demon, even if it appears to just be a simple greeting, is an easy way to lose your soul.

Their counterparts, Light Demons, specialize fortune and knowledge. Light Demons can manipulate luck and gift any information a mortal’s heart desires. They also just know things without having to seek out the information manually.

Hope Demons tend to have soft angelic looks, making them appear more trustworthy than others. They specialize in fantasies and belief. They have the power to bring any fantasy into reality, they just have to believe, making them the most powerful type of Aspect Demon. However, they’re still bound by normal demonic contract rules, so they’re only the second most dangerous.

Their counterparts, Rage Demons, are the most aggressive and feral type, though the weakest ability-wise. (Canon Homestuck did not give much to go on for the Rage Aspect) They specialize in anger manipulation and vengeance, and are capable of neutralizing Hope powers. They’re the most frequently contacted for contracts relating to revenge, and tie for Blood Demons in murder contracts. Their greatest skill is their raw physical strength and ability to enter berserker states.

Doom Demons specialize in death and depression. They’re best arranging and telling fates, and in manipulating depression. They are most often contacted for predicting deaths or speaking to the dead. They do actually have the power to cure depression as well. Or, for particular twisted individuals, making people suicidal. They’re also fairly popular for assassinations, since they can arrange for a “natural” death to occur.

Their counterparts, Life Demons, are primarily healers. They can nurture and heal, and are usually contacted for help with fertility, curing diseases, and healing permanent injuries like severe nerve damage. 

Breath Demons specialize in freedom and wind. They’re not bound by the same rules as other demons, and can even alter their terms after making the contract, making them the third most dangerous type. They’re only less dangerous than Hope Aspects because they tend to be laidback and value freedom, and rarely make contracts that they’d feel the need to alter. Breath Demons are skilled at weather manipulation and breaking chains, and thus are preferred by slaves, prisoners, and those wanting to escape other contracts.

Their counterparts, Blood Demons specialize in bonds. They’re often contracted for murders and assassinations because of misconceptions regarding the Blood Aspect, but their real talents are in altering bonds. “Make X fall in love with me” or “Make Y hate Z” type stuff. Also granting leadership skills and getting people in desired positions of power. Since it does net them more contracts, Blood Demons don’t normally clear up the misconception.

Heart demons specialize in the soul itself. People often contact Heart Demons for bond manipulation due to misconceptions about the Heart Aspect, but Heart Demons actually specialize in the soul itself. So their real talents are in changing people. But, since altering emotions is something they’re capable of, they don’t feel the need to correct this.

Their counterparts, Mind Demons, are fairly self-explanatory. They specialize in thoughts and logic. They’re best at implanting suggestions, changing minds, and enhancing or diminishing one’s ability to process information.

Time Demons specialize in time manipulation, and calling upon alternate timelines. They can tell the future, change the past, send people into alternate timelines, summon people from alternate timelines, and even help alternate timeline versions of themselves. Time is their domain, and they know how to exploit it.

Their counterparts, Space Demons, specialize in the concept of space and creation. They can manipulate sized and shapes, teleport things around, rearrange where things are, and create things. They can create living things, but they can’t grant those things souls, and people rarely think to ask for that from a Space Demon. Though stealing is an any-demon kinda thing, Space Demons are the go-to for taking things and people, since they can do it instantaneously, and can even shrink big things down to make them easier to store.

Like Crystal’s demons, Aspect Demons cannot violate the terms of their deals themselves. Except Breath Demons, who do whatever they want. Some of them are, however, capable of using their abilities to manipulate shitty contractors directly to make them break their end of deal, provided they don’t think to make a clause about that.

So is puppy a void demon? That’s kind of funny to me, as is the idea of him and void the most quiet people being the most powerful kind of demon. Demon blacky being a hope demon makes sense based on this description, and I’m absolutely going for the same softer appearance idea lol.

Also ghosty just “I diagnose you with depression” XD

my tablet refuses to let me draw anymore its simply not cooperating >:( so you can have these sketches of pre-grad asta. the cringe high schooler era. ok i rant endlessly below now

the name changes between 1st -> 2nd is simply for convenience!! others found it hard to pronounce ‘thien’ correctly so it shortened to ‘en’ to make it easier ^_^

if first year asta looks considerably more skrinkly thats because he is!! the essence is she wants to be an idol soo bad but bc reimei’s student population is literally All Guys and its a bad idea to have a fem-presenting idol intermingled in there, it goes undercover in guy uni 👍 which theyr totally cool with whatever gets them to idoldom fastest. hence the girlier vibe and the messy short haircut

they actually have to retake 1st year due to personal circumstances (get Child of Divorce’d). only reason theyre allowed to come back is bc they kinda Are pretty girlslay when it comes to idolisms + since they were first allowed into reimei on a scholarship, theyr allowed to return but only if they shill a hefty tuition (father’s child support payments all go to tuition <3) + another condition wherein theyll deliberate with reimei’s school board directly with the express intent of suppressing nonspecial student rebellion but we’ll talk abt this later

1st year pt 2 and 2nd year they get their shit together becos she fixates on The Guy Ever of course becaus im incapable of being normal and not putting entatsu everywhere i go but theyr dynamic is more teacher/disciple than romantic or anything . originally en is the one teaching tatsumi the ropes of reimei, but it becomes Very Clear that tatsumi needs not help learning to be a good student hes already ballin on his own (however he needs plenty help learning to Be Normal) and the dynamic flops with en now becoming tatsumis follower / admirer by the time second year rolls around and the roots of the revolution start to be planted ^_^ they turn a blind eye to tatsumis activities and pretend to not be affiliated with him in anyway to avoid either orf them getting in trouble

oh fuck in getting tired anyway 3rd year en grows out her hair bevcos she misses tatsumi and its fruitu.. also has to deal with doublecrossing the school board as revenge while also assisting ibaba with his sort-of revolution. ibara had a revolution right? or at least he like changed reimei for the better i think that happened . anywhow i sp sleeepy goodii no tht

regarding your thoughts about yuu, this is why I like to lowkey imagine twst gordon ramsay in their place sometimes bc its so much more fun! some events are already tailor made for him anyways, and EN's dry snarky humour for MC also tracks. besides, flying pan kitchen knife weapons ala yuuken's kendo sword during OB fights?

literal chefs kiss

[Referencing this post!]

[You can read the ongoing Gordon Ramsay in Twisted Wonderland series here!]

YEAH, THE DRY SNARKY HUMOR IS 👌 It feels really natural coming out of some adult that’s had it up to here with babysitting these kids and their dumb antics...

I find that I can’t really take the idea of a teenage Yuu that seriously when it comes to certain situations; they can’t really defend themselves in fights since they’re magicless and seem to lack any discernable or noteworthy skills (for the purposes of self-insert, I know). But still, that makes it difficult to consider them someone with any real authority or weight behind their actions in the main story.

I think adult!Yuu would at least garner somewhat more respect and money because they at least have wisdom and professional experience to back them up in the place of not having any magic. It might provide more value to the school as well; adult!Yuu would (usually?) have skills that could contribute to the curriculum, the environment, or to battles over 16-18 year old Yuu, who is considered a general handyman in the prologue. (There’s nothing inherently wrong or bad about what Yuu does, but generally nonspecialized work does not pay as well as specialized work, and is sometimes looked down on by others; ie Ace makes fun of Yuu for being just an errand runner instead of a full-fledged student.)

As an example, Gordon Ramsay (THIS SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE BUT LISTEN) could help out in the cafeteria or even help instruct Master Chef/Culinary Crucible lessons due to his own culinary background. Someone with a medical background could assist with patching people up, maybe a young adult (20ish) could serve as a teaching assistant to Trein, Crewel, or Vargas, etc. I actually wrote a post about how Yuu being a TA might impact how other characters interact with them, which can be read here!

I feel like adult!Yuus also have more at stake to go home to, like the second ask mentions! Like… a job, bills to pay, and even families relying on them to be there (kids, spouses, etc), other adult obligations to meet. There would be more of a sense of urgency to get back ASAP. xbsvsjdbskna IT ALSO OPENS UP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR “back in my day” JOKES 😭

Building off the tags of the last post I reblogged: the premise of homestuck is that everyone on earth/alternia/beforus dies except for a special, chosen few, who are arguably the entire reason for that planet’s existence and therefore the most important people in the story. Despite this, we still see the plot affected in major ways by completely regular, nonspecial people. The story works around the lack of available humans by introducing theoretically unimportant game constructs and giving them feelings, personalities, and motivations of their own. WV, PM, AR, CD, etc etc etc aren’t even meant to be all that important within the context of the game, but they have just as much agency and ability to move the plot forward as the “chosen” characters or their guardians. Characters that ARE important within the context of the game, like Snowman and Jack Noir, can very easily surpass the “chosen ones” and become major threats. Pre-retcon Vriska’s entire quest for relevancy pales before the impact of the Courtyard Droll with a head full of empty and a shaving cream bomb. Even Casey the Salamander gets her moments in the spotlight.

On the flipside: Despite HS2 taking place within a fully realized, non-apocalypse’d society FULL of people, many of whom probably have a stake in the main characters’ very public drama and political machinations, very few people outside of the gods and their children have speaking roles, names, or the ability to do absolutely anything of consequence.

What happened here?

what about teachers who are passionate about their students’ right to be able to read and comprehend text written for educated but nonspecialized adults, including tracking the nuances of literary writing, understanding paragraphs written in the nineteenth or [gasp] even eighteenth century, and following the ideas and arguments being put forth in informative or opinion-based pieces, which, imperfectly and inadequately to be sure but not ultimately to the point of failure, are the skills the SAT sets out to assess. what about teachers who feel passionately that students should encounter literary prose written for adults, articles in magazines and other publications written for the educated layperson touching on topics relating to science and social science, and literally any fucking text at all more than a hundred years old - aka the types of text that appear on the SAT - sometime before they graduate, and maybe ideally not just on SAT practice tests. what about them.
