Name (online only): Jacyn Anamosa Corbin Pronouns: she/they White, aro ace, very queer, very sex-positive I used to keep a list here of my fandoms but I haven't had a strong fandom in a while. Background: Excavation by Willem de Kooning.
imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow

Apprehensive about the warnings I’m seeing for tonight’s episode.
I don’t think I’m super emotionally invested in any characters beyond Thaisha, and she doesn’t particularly seem to be in immediate danger, so I’m PREDICTING that any devastation will be literary/intellectual, not personal/emotional. I hope.
Gonna make ridiculous predictions so that my brain is in “was I right” mode in order to forestall too much trauma:
Hannan led Vaelus out into the woods alone so that he could stab her through the heart/throw her into Faerie and lock the doors behind her
Brennan is embracing the mechanic where if your character dies, he gets to puppet them, so anyone who dies in Obrimus Manor tonight gets to become a recurring villain
Primus was just pretending to not recognize Katt and fully guts him in front of Wick as a show of power, which the Photarch approves of because she needs Wick docile and she was going to skin puppet him at the cotouriers’ anyway.
Thimble gets insta-killed, Julien suddenly has an even stronger vengeance plot and also is being haunted by a malicious pixie. Julien and Occtis start fucking WRECKING SHIT. Laura comes back as a Cormoray/Cleric/Also a hot big titty wizard.
Occtis dies and it completes the ritual, but because the team tore off all of the modifications to the obelisk in Tannesar, he serves the original purpose and DOES immediately become a celestial bent on killing all of the orcs, just like Thaisha feared
Julien dies and Matt makes it SO FUCKING SAD, and also Thjazi WAS hiding in his shadow and now the Tachonis instantly have him in their grasp.
Hal gets arrested by the Revolutionary Guard for “blah blah treason blah blah pretext” and either Einfasen or Halovar has him murdered in his cell in order to not have to deal with him in the future.
Thaisha ties herself too closely to the ritual and accidentally psychopomps her own soul into the new Orcish afterlife.
The Photarch was lying about Wick having the full ownership of Tyranny’s contract, she thinks that Tyranny is a bad influence so she rips it up and Tyranny dissolves back into Hell.
Wick makes a misstep and Yanessa locks him into a cage next to his grandfather and starts seeing if they can purify Aasimar blood into a Filament derivative.
Thaisha’s grandma unexpectedly is one of the souls moving toward the afterlife, Thaisha is so sad but her grandma is PISSED and instantly invents Power Word Kill even though she isn’t even a wizard. You fuck up the Path by pulling a kid off of it AND by letting Orcs have a personal afterlife instead of guiding them down the path? You’ve strayed too far.
The ritual is STILL not perfect and accidentally starts pulling a devastating number of LIVING orcs through. Hal or Thaisha or Shadia fails their saving throw. So does most of the cast and crew.
The Fae were prepared for the doors to Faerie to be forcibly opened from the other side, especially since they can tell that the Golden Orchard has literally JUST fallen, and they go on the offensive and immediately start killing non-fae.
Bolaire is discovered by a Sundered House and his mask is drained for power (possibly in the same way that Filament is distilled).
AZUNE is killed by a Tachonis who knows that he’s the reason that Einfasen had all of that information.
Azune and his sister are both murdered by the Photarch to tie up loose ends.
Kattigan actually does get taken to the coutouriers’ shop and has his shadow skinned off his body and becomes a demonic Halovar meat puppet.
Teor and Cyd both die, they were the last of their line and any hopes of reconnecting to their Beastfolk god are lost for everyone forever.
Julien gets possessed by his nefarious shadow and against his will goes off to marry Ingrid and slaughter the remaining members of his family
Thimble confronts Thjazi about how it’s his fault the gates to the Golden Orchard closed, and his answer is so awful that she runs off into the underworld and gets eaten by a spirit.
Elodie betrays Hal and Shadia and they get taken and arrested.
HERO betrays the whole party and EVERYONE gets fucked over and has to run away.
Murray gets OHKO’d by Primus Tachonis at work in the morning because Cora wanted to throw her under the bus.
Termina and Amariya learn how to replicate the construction of the Panto Masks and suddenly this is an Animorphs-style Anyone Could Be Secretly The Enemy plot
Vaelus and Hannan walk into Faerie. Hannan is welcomed but Vaelus is instantly found guilty and executed.

Vaelus and Hannan walk into Faerie. Hannan is welcomed but Vaelus is instantly found guilty and executed.
I've recently learned that escaping enshitification is actually really easy. When I was younger I would use FOSS (free and open source software) because I usually couldn't afford anything else. Back then the paid options were usually significantly better than the unpaid options so when I finally got money I started using the paid stuff and completely forgot that Foss existed.
If you don't know why Foss is awesome its not just that its free. Open source software has a huge set of advantages. Most software is proprietary meaning that its code cannot be viewed by other people. Open source softwares code can be viewed by everyone and people can contribute their own code to make it better. Open source is often more secure than proprietary because more people have more eyes on it and more people have contributed to it's security. Its also easy to know how much privacy you have with every software because you can read the code. No more "trust me bro I'm not harvesting and selling your data" you know if they are collecting and selling because the code is publicly available.
In the last two months I have been switching almost completely to Foss. I was worried at first because when I stopped using Foss over 10 years ago the average Foss software was genuinely worse than the paid proprietary alternative. Thankfully things have really come full circle. 90℅ of the software I have tried in the last 2 months works better than the proprietary alternative and is 100℅ less obnoxious.
So here is a list of every Foss software I have tried and recommend. There is way more than this available. This list is just what I have used and like personally. Anyone can feel free to add and we can turn it into a master list. Please just take these as a place to start and do your own research to see if these softwares will work for your use case before you fully ditch your proprietary software.
Operating systems
Graphene os: android alt. Security and privacy focused. The most secure and private smartphone currently available.
Linux mint: easy to use linux, 100℅ better than windows.
Pop!: The Linux distro you should use if you have nividia hardware and want to play games using said hardware. Very intuitive and easy to use.
Kubuntu: Ubuntu Linux with KDE desktop. This is the linux distro one I am currently using and I don't have any plans to jump ship again. Better than windows and better than Mac. The companion app for your phone makes life soooo easy. Its pretty and easy to customize to a ridiculously granular level. No fucking notes.
Kindle jailbreak- ko reader: use jailbreak to free your kindle from the tyranny of the bezos. It will download ko reader which is a Foss OS that has every fucking feature you always wished kindle had and let's you read whatever the fuck you want, and have whatever the screensaver you want (no more ads!). Soooo fuck amazon and use this. I genuinely cannot recommend it enough.
Linux FOSS: (some available on windows and android as well)
Calibre: Foss desktop eBook library. Packed with features. You will want to use this with koreader to make managing your kindle easy.
Manuscript: skrivner alt. Does absolutely everything I need.
Bitwarden: password manager (use a keepass fork if you want self hosted)
Next cloud: private google drive and cloud alternative that you can self host if you want but it's not required. App available
Proton VPN: to the best of my knowledge it is the only Foss no log VPN you can get. You can pay for higher speeds. App available
Quad9dns: free encrypted DNS provider. App available.
News software:
Use any Foss RSS reader and for the love of god stop getting news from social media. Take control of your feed!
Apps (I only know for android)
Fdroid: great app store to find Foss android apps and download them.
Antennapod: you can get all of your podcasts fetched to one feature rich app via RSS feed. No need to rely on spotify or music steaming services.
Openreads: it's good reads but private and 100℅ stored locally. No amazon, no social media aspect, it just tracks your reading, you can import your good reads but if you want to import from storygraph you have to make a good reads burner account, import to good reads, then import to openreads. The menus Navigation on this one is a bit cumbersome but honestly good reads app is worse.
Newpipe: YouTube frontend that let's you have YouTube subscriptions, watch YouTube in the background, and blocks all ads, without logging in to YouTube. You will want to use this one with a VPN set to Canada (or any other country) so YouTube doesn't keep blocking it in order to force you to sign in. But even with that extra step its worth it for the privacy and the lack of ads.
Proton mail: one of 2 more private gmail alts. But you should note that email cannot be 100℅ anonymous or private.
I think that's it. There are still a lot software varieties I am slowly finding.
I know people get mad at the name, and I understand why, but straight-up I've been using GIMP for 15 years and it's a good solid art program made under the GNU program. It's worth a look.
Blender is an amazing FOSS suite for 3D modeling and animation, as well as digital sculpting and motion tracking. Pros use it. It’s a staple in game development. It’s what the Academy Award winning film “Flow” was made on. It’s not the bland name alternative to an industry standard; it is an industry standard.
Krita is a fantastic FOSS application for digital painting. Everyone I’ve ever talked to who uses it has loved it to death.
OBS is the absolute go-to choice for screen recording and live streaming. You can use it to record your entire desktop or a specific window, capture audio from multiple sources, and even add overlays, webcam feeds, or transitions to your videos.
VLC Media Player is the best media player, hands down. It’s lightweight, it’s reliable, it supports virtually every audio and video format known to man, and it has built in media conversion and even basic editing. I truly can’t imagine why anyone would use a media player that isn’t this one. It’s just the best there is, easily, no contest.
Audacity is a fantastic multi-track audio editor and recorder. It’s free and it’s good, and podcasters love it for a reason.
And believe it or not, Thunderbird is a really good email client now. I’m not even joking. If you used it back in the day and hated it, please give it another chance, because the glow up is unreal.
Just tacking on that while FOSS is usually free as in costless the term "free" in open-source spaces typically means "non-proprietary". It isn't a bad idea to look into which of these projects accept donations and to donate if you can. Blender is an amazing program. Genuinely I like it better than Maya or 3DSMax and it is struggling to maintain its project because it has gotten so large in its pursuit of giving artists things that are actually needed but very few of those artists are donating on download.
Other projects (LibreWolf browser comes to mind) reject donations specifically because they don't want to be in Blender's position (often these have an ideological pursuit, like LibreWolf and privacy).
If you see a Donate option when you go to download an open-source project please consider giving them something. Anything you can afford. The non-proprietary (i.e. "free") nature of these projects is so important but I'd hate to see the best of them tank because "free" isn't actually "free".
I feel like to really get this circulating as it should, we need it superimposed over the picture of the turkey going in the fridge. (I can't do it I'm on my phone.)

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs

The four most interesting parts of time loop are when the person kills themselves for the first time, when they kill someone else for the first time (in a fuck around kind of way, this doesn't count if they already were killing people outside of the loop), how they break the loop, and the weeks afterward where they loose their fucking minds in an entirely different, significantly more damaging to the world around them way. And yet I rarely see anything done with that last one. People leave time loops and are all happy go lucky 'oh boy'. Where's the grappling with people you know who will never know you? Where's the knowledge that the safety of the loop is gone, and you can't fix any mistakes you make? That's the good angst I want
