Aeilde Light: Rambles and Things

hey man i'm going on vacation for 86 yoctoseconds can you watch my pet hydrogen-5 isotope while i'm gone

Do you think Dax’s past lives talk to them like the Disco Elysium skills

a very potter musical is one of the greatest things on the planet and it was created by college students with $150 who were high off their asses

may I mention that about 1/3 of the budget was spent on ron’s giant Hershey bar?

YOU MAY

I can’t believe that I never considered the possibility that they were high

bringing this post back with my lovely gf's addition in case any of y'all haven't seen it yet

Judging people based on their sex lives and kinks is blatant invasion of privacy. You wouldn't want someone going into your room and saying your tastes were bad and taking it upon themselves to "fix them", so don't do it to other people.

I think I'd like to be the teacher. I get to instruct every hand that touches you. I see you deconstructed, laid out on a table stripped to the smallest component nearly every day. I guide you along your purpose like a shepherd to a sheep. I think I'd like to know each detail of you, with a mastery that lets me perform your destiny on the stage of a classroom as many times as needed. Until the beauty of you, your inner workings, your functions, your limits, the ecstatic essence of each part of you is known to all that can know.

what am i supposed to do

My apartment building has coin-op laundry in the basement, and on the shelf where people store detergent there are also just enough quarters to start one load in the washer. This is the collective "oh shit I forgot my quarters" bank that anyone can borrow from to start laundry without having to climb all the way back up the goddamn stairs first. These quarters have been steadily used and replaced for multiple years now, and every time I see them I think about how upon such small foundations rests all of human society.

bestie you will never guess what this Common Egg-Eating Snake is doing

The fact that you can see the egg’s spots THROUGH the snake

I think it’s really weird that the average person needs a home and a car and an education to effectively function at all in a capitalist society but those things are all such an exorbitantly high price that the average person would never ever be able to pay for them one lump sum and thus we decided that upon entering adulthood every average person would likely have to sign their life away to various powerful banks to pay for these things and everyone was just like “Ok, that seems legit and not fucked up AT ALL.” and now it’s such an accepted and normalized part of society that everyone looks at you like you’re dumb for thinking it’s weird. I just think it’s really fucking weird.

Did you mean: explicitly malevolent?

So what you're saying is that we need to find a way to kill (literally) this couple before the climate gets worse?

But this leaves out the really neat part! The reason we equate the above image with a ninja comes from Kabuki theatre. Within Kabuki theatre there’s a convention of having Kuroko (stage hands) dress in all black (with a full face covering) and move around among the costumed actors in full view, moving scenery, props and costumes. In a similar way, Bunraku puppeteers dress in all black, and only the lead puppeteer’s face would be uncovered. The audience knew to ignore these people and focus on the actors, and to only see that the scene was “magically” changing. So when a play called for a ninja assassin to jump out of nowhere and kill someone, the easiest way to create the surprise reveal was to disguise the ninja in the all black garb of the Kuroko and to remove the face covering and start acting at the last second. This would shock the audience, who were conditioned to not focus on them. Pretty cool, yeah?

WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT “STAGE NINJA” WAS JUST A CUTE THEATER TERM FOR CREW. THERE WERE LITERALLY GOD DAMN STAGE NINJAS

AS A FORMER STAGE NINJA I CAN CONFIRM THIS IS BOTH A THING AND AWESOME.
