the brahmsbrain. located between the ACC and the insula. fMRI studies found activation during exposure to music by german romantic era composer johannes brahms (1833-1897) and is associated with enhanced feelings of pleasure and happiness from the music of the suspected paramour of clara schumann

bear with me: you see a schematic overview of the brain in a lateral view (the image is from an elsevier overview page on the dorsal insula) with different brain areas that are highlighted. they don’t really matter for you to understand the image. between a region marked as “insula” relatively in the center of the brain and a region marked as ACC (anterior cingulate cortex) more towards the front of the brain, there is a small superimposed image of the face of romantic era german composer johannes brahms.

actually iansan is only marginally less clunky than the tatankasaurs themselves 😪 varesa makes it a lot more pleasant tho (also the tatankasaurs aren’t as bad as the quasars in my opinion which are the worst thing genshin invented since triangles)

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Hang on a second. I must complete my daily task of observing Aphids. It's very high on my to-do list.
Let's not disturb the two of them. Let's head to our next observation site.
