Desmond And The Wretched Beast (Keats) That Won’t Let Him Be Self-destructive Without Very Loudly Alerting

Haha, nice.

Reminder to touch some grass

Spoilers for the Forgotten Lands quests (the memory one, iykyk)

This one is specifically about the Forgotten's memories.

Ya know, i was NOT expecting the Disney Animal Crossing to have a cutting depiction of loneliness and loss of childhood, but here we are.

The way the options to speak represent the Forgotten's thoughts and are overridden by variations of "I'm fine," the way each pillar's virtue is undone in each memory, the way the Valley changed with the Forgotten's spiral.

No wonder they had to put a disclaimer on there, holy shit that fucking hurt.

Oh, also, now there are holes in the sky. No one in the Valley seems to be talking about it, which is par for the course, really.

That's my one beef with this game. The sky could be raining hellfire and Mickey will say "Boy, what a beautiful day!"

I love Mickey though, so no hate.

I found out that Kevin Saxby, the guy who plays Luke Carder, is 6' 2", which is??? So tall??? So this was born

Since there's been another "Tumblr is gonna die!" scare, let's do a poll...

Rb for larger sample size appreciated :)

Reblogging so I don't lose this.

@glassesglasses2 your request from october is finally complete

I have to say: thank you so much for giving such an elaborate response. I learned so much, and I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through it.

I do understand how scary it is to stand up for what's right behind enemy lines, but Lise is right: if it is only the victims worrying about it, nothing will be fixed. Reading through the sources, I could argue that he was not explicitly a Nazi, but he was incredibly complacent, the ass. Which I find incredibly aggravating. I mean, sure, he tried to protest, but when that didnt work he just??? rolled over????? It all felt like a half effort, you know? Which is incredibly frustrating. Like, grow a spine. Stand for what you claim to believe in, Otto.

His efforts post-war are what really upsets me. Like, the threat is gone and you dismiss the effect Nazism had on science? You undermine your colleague and friend? You sweep it under the rug? What the heck? This isn't just passive; it's cruel. It's erasing history, and people's suffering, and oh my gosh I'm going to cry because I can't imagine being Lise and finding out about this after everything she did to fight back.

And finally, after, what, 6 reblogs? I finally understand the concern. I think the idea that elves helped progress Nazi atrocities could really tear the Council down (which would be SO interesting to see), but I think this will be a detail that does not affect anything. Maybe it would break down the elves' sense of superiority? But yeah, I think it was just mentioned to prove a point. I dont know what it means for Shannon specifically, but what an educational experience it birthed.

Again, thank you so much. You have such an intelligence about you, and I am glad to have experienced it. I learned so much from you, and I appreciate you spending the time to dispense your knowledge. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Shannon did not think it through when she said elves gave humans technology to build atomic bombs. Why? Because the Nazis... YES THE GOD DAMN NAZIS were the first people to start developing it. meaning the elves gave the Nazi's the tools to start developing it willingly
