Reminder to self: A file folder of outlines and character notes and half-written scenes is the equivalent of an artistâs sketchbook and holds just as much value to the creative process.
If a framed canvas isnât the only worthwhile expression of visual art, then a fully edited and polished piece of significant length is not the only worthwhile expression of writing.

I kind of love the idea of a Perpetual who's had a falling out with the Emperor and genuinely wants nothing to do with him (as 99% of Perpetuals are wont to do) just repeatedly admiring a new public figure from afar, only to find out its Neoth yet again.
The new religious figure whose sermons are taking the world by storm? Love that guy--fuck, its Neoth
The new king uniting the warring tribes of [land] under a single banner? How invigorating--fuck, its Neoth
The new scientist whose brilliant innovative contributions to medical technology have been dramatically improving mankinds quality of life? So inspiring--fucK IT'S NEOTH
It'd be like dating a celebrity, having a bad breakup and then having to see their face plastered everywhere, but instead you KEEP accidentally admiring them every 100 years and it goes on FOREVER
Or at least until you hit the point where whenever someone tells you about a new up-and-coming influential man, you're like "I BET IT'S NEOTH. I BET IT'S THAT FUCKING GUY AGAIN"
This reminds me of the time that I asked if anyone had resources on the history of Shinto and while nobody had book recs, turns out an actual Temple Maiden followed me on Tumblr and was down to chat.

These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.
While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.
Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.
We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

âI donât like the things youâve built for me.â
âOh? What exactly do you not like?â
âThey are things of your design, not something I requested.â
âYour requests, although welcomed, are not necessarily required. I build things because they have use, and these have use in your and, most importantly, my daily life. You will learn to accept them, same as you have learned to accept me.â
Jaghatai Khan, Angron
âMy truest freedom is by your side, you know that?â
His only response is a grunt.
âI mean it. The wealth of the world can be offered to me, yet I still choose you and you alone.â
âDo not discount the material so quickly. It provides a lot of comforts.â
âNot the one you give me.â
Magnus the Red, Fulgrim
âCan I paint you?â
âI beg your pardon?â
âCan I paint you? Or, rather, paint on you.â
âPray tell, what has gotten into this head of yours?â
âYou are... breathtaking, but I see the angles not highlighted otherwise. And I want to bring them forward.â
âMy love, how could I say no?â
Horus Lupercal, Alpharius and Omegon
âWas it necessary?â
âYes, it was.â
âYou lied to them, you lied to me!â
âAnd your pain is an addition to mine, but it had to be done.â
âI donât believe you.â
âI care not for your belief, I care for your loyalty. And you have proven it. Rejoice, for you are about to be rewarded.â
Lorgar Aurelian
âThe candles are not supposed to be out. They are not.â
âMy love? It is way past your rest cycle. Why are you up?â
âThe candles... they were getting low, and you are supposed to walk this path soon.â
âThe candles are an accessory. You are a necessity. Please come rest with me.â
âBut your walk...â
âWill be soothed if you yourself do not rest. Now come, be still in my embrace, and all will be forgiven.â

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how weâve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented âhe thinks himself to be the senator claudius đ¤Łâ
So I remember reading about this study in grad school where they have a bunch of clinically depressed people and a bunch of non-clinically-depressed people a game that was partially chance and partially skill, and asked them to estimate how much control they had over the outcome.
The depressed people were far more accurate in estimating how much influence their actions had on the outcome of the game compared to their nondepressed counterparts, who consistently overestimated the effects of their own choices on their chances of winning.
Then I remember this other study (CW animal testing) where they put rats in a bucket of water that they couldnât get out of, so theyâd have to swim. There was a fairly consistent point at which the swimming rat would falter, and stop swimming, fated to drown.
Except that thatâs when the researchers would pull the rat out of the bucket, give it a nice rest warmth and a meal.
When those SAME rats who had been rescued before were put in the same situation again, they swam much LONGER than they had before.
Why? The risk was the same either way- drowning. Youâd have thought that the fear of drowning would keep them swimming to their maximum length no matter what.
The researchers conclusion was that the rescued rats had something they hadnât had the first time- they had more hope. A miraculous rescue could come, and that let them swim for longer, just in case.
I think we do microdose delusion because sometimes that little overestimation of our chances, of our luck, keeps us swimming that little bit longer, just in case something good happens. And sometimes, that little margin really does make the difference.Â
âAll right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Littleâ"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YETâDeath waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the pointâ"

the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.
"ummm actually that wouldn't happen because-" playing!!! i am playing!!! come play with me!!! i even set up the sandbox with extra shovels!!! don't smack the barbie out of my hands!!
we are doing improv!! pick up a blorbo and yes and with me!!
Custodes fun fact of the day: while Custodes never were the primarchsâ biggest fans, to claim that they straight up hated them and space marines is also incorrect. A lot of Custodes have space marine friends and respect them (funnily enough Aquillon isnât the only Custodes with a word bearer friend) and even the Custodes seemed to have never considered the primarchs turning against the emperor. They predicted problems and were against their creations, yes, but they never predicted the ultimate betrayal, which was a mistake on their part - and a blind spot in their hyper vigilance that Iâll include in one of my fun facts of the day later on.
Even then, Constantin was willing to implement the blood games even if he hated the man who the idea came from, and gave Russ genuinely well meant advice, called him friend, and joked around with Jaghatai.
The custodes were even the peace makers more often that the primarchs - Valdor refused to argue against Dorn and countermand his (dreadfully idiotic, which Dorn himself realized) orders in magisterium solely because he didnât want there to be even more division in the imperium. One might argue that Aquillonâs, the oculi imperator,biggest weakness was his continued patience with Lorgar and his unwillingness to perceive hostility against *him* as hostility against the Emperor.
The custodes lost their faith in the primarchs and the space marines as an institution only during the Horus heresy, and one has to wonder whether they sometimes missed their dreams of unity as well.
Return to tomorrowâs fun fact on the day where Iâll reveal more about custodes and friendships!
Today, during lunch break, I saw something that made me SO MAD!!
Rant under the cut.
I got to know that some men online have become so upset that the protagonist of the next God of War is going to be a kickass woman who doesn't look like their porn addled fantasies. And so, they've stopped so low as to make slop AI versions of a "game" where all Laufey ends up doing is get pregnant, give birth, and do domestic chores.
First of all, fuck them!
Second of all, who is going to tell them that Laufey, a literal giantess, could do all that and still kick ass while these greasy haired, beer-breathed imbeciles can't even be bothered to shower?!
Third of all, if the gods blessed me with even an iota of confidence these vermin had, I'd have taken over the world! Because, tell me why someone looking like a zombie creeping out of their mother's basement suddenly becomes the decisive authority on what a female protagonist should look like!
Faye is beautiful! She is strong and wise!! She freaking handed Thor his ass even before meeting Kratos. And then, was the one woman who could fight as well as, if not better than Kratos!
Do they think Kratos would agree to these vermin making such derogatory comments about his woman? The man they claim to be a pinnacle of masculinity? He'd probably rip them to shreds for insulting his strong wife! Actually, he'd just stand back as she ripped them to shreds, while smiling proudly at how well she does it!
I am so sick and tired of how these "men" keep acting like they're some sort of high council that will decide what is and what isn't the characteristics of a "good" woman.
Don't like the game? Don't buy it! But to make some shitty AI version that they suppose "shows Faye her place" is crossing a line.

Lion makes the mistake of entrusting a secret to a brother. Word gets around.. Be it through "comparing notes" like sanguinius would put it, a "slip of the tongue" with Magnus, a paranoid accusation from Perturabo, gossip during a boys' night with fulgrim and ferrus, or "investigative journalism" like Corvus thinks of it,
I like to think that, no matter how old or big a primarch is they'd always look silly/outshined when standing next to Neoth....
