It's Real Ent Hours

THATS NOT ARTIFACTING. THATS THE BODY SWAYING.

what does the normalisation of a hospital bombing say about our world? i don't think that the cruelty and suffering faced by people in gaza should silently be accepted by everyone.

i think that all of us should be doing all that we can to support the people in gaza. we have ways to help a population undergoing a genocide, it's best to use those.

so please have heart and consider helping a family with two young children survive this genocide. every tiny bit helps. their fundraiser is verified.

israel hasn't let aid in gaza in 70 days. gaza has been starving for 70 days. the condition of people there is horrendous.

i find it distressing to think about children in gaza. how does one continue to have a childhood in a genocide? they don't have school. they don't have safety. they don't have food.

despite all this, the kids will be alright. they'll be alright once the genocide stops and they get back to 'normal'. till then, can we please try to support them however we can?

this fundraiser (verified) helps feed a family which includes two young children. please consider helping their mother take care of them.

Magic: The Girlbossing Round 1, Match 8

Propaganda under the cut:

Over a year ago we all gathered to pit the girlbosses of the Magic: the Gathering multiverse against each other. But since that time, the girlboss landscape has rapidly changed. New candidates have arisen from nothing, and old candidates have reappeared and seemingly deepened their girlbossitude.

Today marks the beginning of a NEW girlboss bracket, to pit the girlbosses of today against those of yesteryear. This will be a poll bracket, organized mostly like last year. The first few rounds' matchups will be posted hourly eight times a day, and the winner of the popular vote will continue on to the next round.

There are some differences from last year though! First and perhaps more obvious is that this year we only have 64 entrants. Last year we held a bracket of 128, but I found that (with a few exceptions) most of the characters who were eliminated in round 1 last year were not strong candidates and that a smaller bracket would be more interesting. Additionally, all of the top 8 candidates from last year, (Vraska, Alesha, Liliana, Teysa, Nahiri, Emrakul, Ashnod, and Marchesa) are ineligible from competition! At the end of this bracket, our new top 8 will face off against our current top 8 to see who really has what it takes.

Anyway, here is the bracket:

First of all I have zero beef with this season. Dimension 20 has never once claimed to be on the same level of narrative seriousness as a show like Critical Role. D20 is a full comedy show on a streaming platform that posts almost exclusively comedic content. I get that people are disappointed and I understand why and it’s fair but it also just seems a little… i guess odd is the word I’ll use, to be so upset about feeling like the message fell flat or that the bad kids were rewarded for being assholes or what have you when Dimension 20, first and foremost, is a comedy show done by professional improv comedians. These comedians have also fully stated on record that emotionally heavy seasons are really rough for them. That’s the whole reason why they haven’t done a second Crown of Candy with the full cast of Intrepid Heroes. Their lack of making this season super emotionally impactful is probably simply bc despite the overarching message that was setup, they didn’t WANT it to be more serious than that.
