he was willing to search the entire world to find his mother. when he found her, his first thought was of how hard it must of been for her. Even after Sheila was backed into a corner by the joker to sell jason out. even after being beaten by joker, jason still tried to save his mother, who had essentially sold him off to the devil.

he literally shielded her from the bomb even after being beaten half to death. like?? is that not insaine. Even after knowing that Sheila stood there while he was beaten with a crowbar he still chose her.

If people can excuse Jason’s actions because of his trauma, then people should also excuse Bruce’s actions because of his trauma. (And no, age doesn’t really play as much of a factor in this - especially since they are both adults at this point)

Additionally, even though the movement has caused a lot of intense violence and ethnic targeting, the consensus is that it still deserves to realize these alleged goals.

Ergo, even if the Jews were guilty on all counts, these people should still be pro 2-state solution and consequently Zionists, by their own metrics.

I cannot express to you how FAST it has gone. I grew up in a world that does not exist now. We're starting on the path to reverse it, globally. You might not know how much solar has EXPLODED in the last decade or two. It's gone from a side thing, a weirdo novelty that was just Not Viable... to whole countries investing in infrastructure. but we have to keep fighting big oil and fascism everywhere we can in order to keep on this road to a new better less scorching burning earth.

We didn't start getting regular derechos until 2008ish - now, it seems that there's at least one thunderstorm every summer that builds quickly and suddenly and produces hurricane-force winds that rip 100-year-old trees out of the ground and leave thousands of people without power for sometimes days at a time.

Prior to 2015ish, we never had to wake up to red flag warnings and respiratory advisories and summer morning air that stings your eyes and smells like campfire because millions of acres of Canada are burning.

Up until like 2006, you had to plan your Halloween costume around the certainty that you'll need to wear your winter coat. And every year there was about a 50/50 chance you'd have to move your Easter egg hunt indoors because there is still too much snow on the ground. Now, everyone's running around coatless and grilling out on Halloween and Easter every single year and some years it's actually kinda hot.

Within the last couple of years, I've noticed spring flowers like lilacs starting to have a second flowering cycle in November because it hadn't gotten cool enough yet for the plants to think it's fall. Oh, and flowering trees like magnolia and crabapples blooming in February instead of April. This one is extra fucked up and dire for fruit trees - they bloom early before the bugs and bees are awake, then lose all their petals to a February polar vortex before they can be pollinated. In 2025 our crabapples bloomed early, got hit with frost, and consequently never bore fruit that year, and the impact on our woodland birds and wildlife was noticeable.

But more times than not - especially as the years pass - the temperatures will broach record highs AND lows. And not just in a single day but over a longer span of time. The averages are becoming more and more extreme.

Just because you had one cold winter recently doesn’t mean the polar jet stream isn’t fluctuating drastically - it can mean the opposite, that the polar jet stream IS fluctuating drastically.

Well, the Grimms' hazel tree on the mother's grave, and the white bird that perches in it and throws gowns and slippers down to Aschenputtel, is a beautiful image, with the implication that her mother's spirit helps her even long after her death.

The animal companion who is killed, but who helps the heroine from beyond the grave much like the mother in Aschenputtel, is also an especially poignant and touching variation. For example, the fish in Ye Xian, the red calf in Rushen Coatie, or the bull in Katie Woodencloak.

I also like the Finnish variant, The Wonderful Birch, that combines the above two themes. It portrays the Stepmother as an ogress who turns the heroine's real mother into a sheep, and then has the unsuspecting father slaughter her; but after the heroine gives her sheep-mother's bones a proper burial, a birch tree grows from the spot and drops gowns and slippers down to her.

Another helper I especially like is the gooseherd from Tattercoats: a very interesting magical helper in that (a) he's a boy, (b) he's the heroine's friend long before he reveals his magic, and (c) he casts his spells with a magic flute. (I think Mozart would have liked that!)

The Jewish tale where the heroine's helper is the Prophet Elijah disguised as an old man with a magic stick is another good variant.

The three hazelnuts from the Czech variants, which each crack open to reveal a gown and slippers, are charming too, even if they lack the emotional connection of a person or animal.

Hazbin hotel is meant to have characters that are hypocritical and mean, because it's a show about redemption, about learning to become better not because you already had good morals, but because you LEARNED THEM, because you EARNED your place up in heaven by acts of selflessness. Even the main character, charlie, who is all about redemption, has to BECOME BETTER. That's what this show does, it pushes your perception of good and evil, it opens up new ways of thinking.

The Amazing Digital Circus explores entirely different things, like loss and grief and isolation, and how that slowly decays and rots you from the inside out.

Happy Belated International Wolf Day!

MWW Artwork of the Day (7/23/22) Gandhara culture (Greco-Buddhist, 4th c. BCE-5th c. CE) The Buddhist gods Pañcika and Hariti (3rd c. CE) Stone sculpture from Takht-i Bahi, Gandhara The British Museum, London

Pañcika was the consort of the Buddhist goddess of children, Hariti. He is himself a Buddhist god, and is said to have fathered 500 children. He was the commander-in-chief of the Yak'a army of Vaisrava'a (Bishamonten), and had another 27 Yak'a generals under his orders. Pañcika was often represented holding a lance and a bag of jewels (or money), together with Hariti, in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, where they illustrated marital love following the intervention of the Buddha. The two figures “were very popular in Gandhara in the latter part of the second century, and their statues are many.” When depicted holding a spear, he also signals his role as the chief of the Yak'as.

Hindu Mythology & Deities

- Hindu deities (32)-

Yakshas / Hariti

According to myth, Hārītī was originally a rākṣasī of Rajgir at the same time Gautama Buddha also lived there. She had hundreds of children of her own, whom she loved and doted upon, but to feed them, she abducted and ate the children of others.

The bereaved mothers of her victims pleaded to the Buddha to save them. So, the Buddha stole the youngest of Hariti’s sons (in a variant version, the youngest daughter), and hid him under his rice bowl. After having desperately searched for her missing son throughout the universe, Hārītī finally appealed to the Buddha for help.

The Buddha pointed out that she was suffering because she lost one of hundreds of children and asked if she could imagine the suffering of parents whose only child had been devoured. She replied contritely that their suffering must be many times greater than hers. She then vowed to protect all children, and in lieu of children’s flesh, she would henceforth only eat pomegranates.

Henceforth Hārītī became the protector of children and women in childbirth. In exchange, the Buddha gave her bodhi (Enlightenment), which enabled her to withstand black magic and evil powers and gave her the facility to cure the sick.

インド神話と神様たち

−ヒンドゥー教時代からの神々(32)–

夜叉・鬼子母神

神話によると、鬼子母神 (ハーリーティ)は元々、ゴータマ仏陀が住んでいたラージギルの夜叉であった。鬼子母神には何百人もの子供がいたが、その子供たちを養うために、他の子供たちをさらい食べていた。

犠牲になった子供の母親たちは「子供をを救ってほしい」と仏陀に懇願した。そこで仏陀は、鬼子母神の末の息子（別のバージョンでは末っ子の娘）を盗み、自分の飯碗の下に隠した。行方不明になった息子を宇宙の果てまで必死に探し回った後、鬼子母神はついに仏陀に助けを求めた。

仏陀は、彼女は何百人もの子供のうちのたった一人を失っただけで苦しんでいることを指摘し、一人しかいない子供が食べられた親の苦しみを想像できるかどうかを尋ねた。彼女は、彼らの苦しみは彼女の何倍も大きいに違いないと返答した。そして、すべての子供たちを守ることを誓い、子供の肉の代わりにザクロだけを食べることにした。

He's interested in more niche things, like robotics,

and he was also interested in things that people normally regard as "scary", such as moths;

After he became fond of shows and theater as well and attempted to include his classmates in one he thought of in an attempt to grow closer to them, his idea ultimately backfired since his classmates thought his way of directing was "dangerous", and this is where the ostracization seemed to start.

(translation by Arvon Oven) Being ostracized and shunned is unfortunately a common thing with people who have autism, and as I mentioned previously, Rui was alone for presumably seven years straight, all because he was regarded as "different". - 2, He has "restricted, obsessive interests" that can be seen as hyperfixations/special interests. Ever since he was a child, Rui's been heavily interested in both robotics/inventing and shows. A hyperfixation is described as, "A complete obsession with or absorption into a particular task. The task can be a hobby, a TV show, a subject of interest, or something else. People who hyperfixate may tune out the world around them and ignore important responsibilities, such as eating or sleeping." Rui's interest in shows specifically can be seen as a hyperfixation, as in the first side story of his Unforeseen Keynotes (or Unexpected Happenings according to the English translation) card, Rui was so engrossed in thinking about the next show they'd be doing, he had completely forgotten that Robo-Nene was due for maintenance, and Nene mentions that this wouldn't be the first time he's forgotten to eat or sleep because of how engrossed he gets in his thoughts while thinking about shows.

Nene also mentions in Wonderlands x Showtime's main story that Rui becomes so absorbed in his shows that he "loses sight of everything else", (In the original Japanese version, she says "When it comes to shows, he isn't able to look at his surroundings, so things never work out".)

and also in KAMIKOU FESTIVAL!, where he mentions that his tendency to put shows "at the center of everything" might be a flaw of his;

(translation by Ren) It's also mentioned in A Once-In-A-Lifetime Pandemonium!? that he'll get so absorbed in his thoughts while thinking of shows, he'll completely forget about his surroundings.

(translation by tsukasa’s #3 fan) - 3, He has texture issues, which is also common with people who have autism. It's been mentioned multiple times throughout the course of the game that he detests vegetables, but more specifically cucumbers and things in the cucurbitaceae family (such as watermelon & pumpkin), because they all share the same texture.

He mentions in an area conversation with Nene that he usually only eats at restaurants he's familiar with (he sticks to routine; another thing common with people who have autism), so eating out has never been an issue to him, and he even refused to eat vegetables when they were quite literally stranded on a deserted island and in a life-threatening situation.

- 4, He info-dumps. A lot.

This one is pretty self-explanatory, I think. - 5, He's overly logical and struggles with his emotions. He's had trouble on multiple occasions understanding his emotions, such as in Full Power! Wonder Halloween! where he unconsciously holds himself back after inadvertently injuring Tsukasa with one of his inventions, but he didn't realize that he was even holding himself back until somebody pointed it out, and he didn't realize that he was holding himself back because he was worried, either. Something similar happens in Heat Up! Kamikou High Cheering Squad! where he unconsciously holds himself back because he feared being shunned again, but once again, he didn't realize the reason for him holding himself back until somebody pointed it out for him. In the first side story of his I Can't Afford to Lose *4 card, Rui comes to the Sekai, hoping to talk to somebody to put his mind at ease. As he runs into Meiko and Luka and they ask him what's wrong because he seemed down, Rui says that "I just wanted to think about production, but my feelings got in the way of thinking". He then says "Feelings really are troublesome. / Sometimes, you have to hold them back with all of your might... It'd be nice if someone other than me could manage these troublesome feelings". (In the English translation, he says "Emotions are so complicated and can be so troublesome at times. / There are even times when one becomes completely overwhelmed by them... If only someone else were able to help put a lid on them.") Lastly, I'd like to mention that in Revival My Dream, after Rui asks his mom if he's different from the people around him, she responds by saying that, yes, he is different, but she also says that she was "just like him" as a child, and seeing how autism is caused mainly by genetics, his mom can very well be autistic too.
