"We’re all animals in the end, are we not? We crave the satisfaction of blood and violence. But we’re not just animals, not at all; we’re social animals. We seek camaraderie, the sight and touch of another. The only thing more enticing than a bloody victory is connection. And we here at Showfall give the thousands of people within our devoted audience a chance to feel that connection!" Following the finale of Hetch’s “Social Experiments”, Ranboo is repurposed as “The Devourer” — a bestial antagonist in Hetch’s latest production, which stars beloved returning cast member, Charlie, as Showfall’s newest Hero.

NOW MY SPIRIT CAN BARELY FUNCTION

IT'S UGLY

NO LONGER FIT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION

WELL I GUESS THAT'S SOMETHING

THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS

THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU

THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS

IT'S WORSE

Latest tattoo … 🩵

you are an unperson and always have been.

you first learned this when your mother shoved you onto a bed

-did things that require a trigger list as long as your arm.

one of these days you're afraid

you'll wake up and your teeth will be ground to dust.

you are an unperson and a nowhere man.

there is no comfort in comfort when you know it'll be ripped away.

you stare at the blade of a knife.

you can't decide to turn it on yourself or someone else.

Nuclear Gold

Life expectancy correlates tightly with per-capita access to energy, so interfering with energy production is, by definition, a health hazard. Today I unpacked my marked-up copies of Beckmann’s The Health Hazards of NOT Going Nuclear and Fred Hoyle’s Commonsense in Nuclear Energy, co-authored by his son Geoffrey. Suddenly the Youtube site serendipitously returned the above video before I could…

Days Of Steam 003: Deejaygee

(Mix released August 9, 2021)

Blistering, mind-bending geometries from @deejaygeejaygee that run the gamut from sludge to full speed ahead, and much of it either self-released or from smaller labels outside the usual centers of production (NYC/LDN/BER)

"It's a celebration of percussion, dancing and global collective ecstasy."

Winston did not know why Withers had been disgraced. Perhaps it was for corruption or incompetence. Perhaps Big Brother was merely getting rid of a too-popular subordinate. Perhaps Withers or someone close to him had been suspected of heretical tendencies. Or perhaps—what was likeliest of all—the thing had simply happened because purges and vaporisations were a necessary part of the mechanics of government.

The only real clue lay in the words “refs unpersons,” which indicated that Withers was already dead.

You could not invariably assume this to be the case when people were arrested. Sometimes they were released and allowed to remain at liberty for as much as a year or two years before being executed.

Very occasionally some person whom you had believed dead long since would make a ghostly reappearance at some public trial where he would implicate hundreds of others by his testimony before vanishing, this time forever.

Withers, however, was already an unperson. He did not exist: he had never existed.

Winston decided that it would not be enough simply to reverse the tendency of Big Brother’s speech. It was better to make it deal with something totally unconnected with its original subject.

Unperson

Unperson, v.: 1. (transitive) To strip (a human being) of rights, identity or humanity.

---

I have been asked before about what it means when I say I'm "not a person," or "don't person me".

I will explain.

I have been destroyed, inch by inch. They broke my fingers, stole my names, made all I do Bad, even when it's good, because I did it.

They said I was an animal, a monster, a deviant and a liar. When I tell the truth, it's not to be trusted. Everything I do has ulterior motives.

I've been accused of crimes simple and grand. Of actions realistic and fanciful. In the minds of others I have been a groomer (because of being trans), a cult leader (because of my interest in hypnosis), a killer (because why else would I bask in violent language?).

After so much wear and stress, any material will break. Metal fatigue claims the stoutest of steel beams, in time. Such destruction has a well-defined pathway. First, the material to be broken grows denser, more rigid, work-hardened under the blows. As it grows harder, it becomes increasingly brittle. Eventually, it simply breaks.

The fracture may take many forms. Mine was sharp and jagged.

I cast off the human-names I had been trying to wear. They marked me as trying to belong. I didn't want to belong anymore. I chose a more fitting name, a name that is a warning.

I abandoned the camouflage, the clothing of Ordinary People, and sought a different sort of uniform. I began to wear warning flags, the trappings of the antagonist.

I stopped trying to claw back what they stole from me, and focused instead on building something they wouldn't dare touch.

I abandoned the language of Humanity. I began to demand unpersoning.

That. It. Thing. Other. Enemy.

"Recognize what I am," I was trying to say. "I am not like you. I am a makeshift weapon in the hands of the Great Adversary. We have nothing in common. There is no kinship here. You took that."

Now when they come for me, there are no weak points left. If they humanize me, they weaken their hands. If they dehumanize me, they further harden my scales. There are no attack vectors that remain. The I that was is long gone. There is now only this enemy.

I am not a person. They took that from me. I am something else, now. Something terrible, because that's all that they left to me. Something they cannot understand.

AND MAYBE I'M FLAWED BUT I DO EXIST

MY THOUGHTS ARE MINE

I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS

Hey here's an angle on the Jiang family dynamic and its impact on Wei Wuxian that I haven't seen discussed:

Wei Wuxian grew up seeing Jiang Yanli routinely having her agency cut off and denied in both large (betrothal) and small ways. That were largely tied up in her gender, sure, but this was also a family containing Yu Ziyuan. A daughter in this household had every chance of having her gender treated as of secondary importance.

She just had to earn it.

The way Jiang Yanli was hemmed in and her potential as an independent actor dismissed was at least as strongly correlated with her failure to be a powerful sword cultivator.

So Wei Wuxian's total refusal to let anyone know that he'd lost access to his cultivation and his violent reactivity against being diminished or condescended to during his Sunshot-to-death period, when before he was pretty immune to being looked down on, could have a lot to do with having been presented with this clearly labeled diagram of how your personhood gets stripped away when you are, by the standards of your society, disabled.

Hoffman being enamoured with Strahm's bitchiness is everything to me.

Discworld Inktober day 10 - Reg Shoe

We are a third of the way through inktober!

This concept in discworld was ridiculous and hilarious. Reg Shoe is a zombie that, after his “death” comes back and becomes an undead rights activist because the people of the disc have a very negative view of the undead.

As always tips appreciated ❤️

I am insane enough to animate a crappy running animation for Unperson!Ranboo even though I’ve never animated before
