Reading the accounts of kids who're "designer babies" just from like, choices made at sperm banks is heartbreaking. Gene editing human beings, I don't even WANT to imagine how US Healthcare could dystopia it up with "well, you were edited to not get cancer, so we're not going to cover this case" ug

@leubast.bsky.social it as a flavor of what D*sney tried to pull when a widower took them to court over his wife's death in their park, and they tried to claim he'd waived all rights when agreeing to their streaming ToS: www.npr.org/2024/08/14/n...

Disney backtracks on request to toss wrongful death suit over Disney+ agreement

Jeffrey Piccolo's wife died after eating at a Disney World restaurant. Disney wanted his claims handled out of court based on the terms of his years-old Disney+ trial, but reversed its position.

If you're in North America and use D*scord, if they drag you into a court case- if you haven't already Opted Out officially, according to the ToS you are waiving your right to the possibility of a Jury trial. You'd be stuck with backroom bargains or judge-only trials.

PSA about D*scord's TOS changes. You need to email arbitration-opt-out(at)discord(dot)com to NOT waive legal rights. A template: "I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate for the account (username) as of (current date)",
OG post: www.tumblr.com/eggseventy/7...

discord's new terms of service DO have a mandatory arbitration clause for the United States and Canada, you have 30 days to opt out by emailing an opt out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com. this has been your standard "for the love of god do not waive your right to a jury trial under any circumstances" notice

I sent an email that was "I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate for the account (username) as of (current date)", and i sent it from the email associated with that account.

Out of the horseboys Sylvain's a true monster. Like Lorenz also is meant to be able to do both magic and phys... but Syl as a Dark Knight is INSANE. And sadly Ferdinand feels like a distant third, amazing how BAD everyone feels in cavalier (except Sylvain)

I guess FEH's taught ole ninty that Furries sell... don't really have any more take aways from FE Shadows. They really just need to re-release both Telius games, THAT'S where the quality FE furries are!

Honestly, this for book series that get a RL actor adaptation. Any cool cover art/fictional designs, just get replaced with actor-face, and its so boring in comparison. I get the recognizably and broad market appeal, but ug, so boring!

Since someone already recc'd L'Archel, another ship I go with these days is Ephriam/Kyle. Like...there's potential there.

A quick mockup of a rock made from 4 rock, 3 bush, and 3 leafy bushel assets. The assets can be used in different palettes to create more depth easily. 2nd image is the parts used and their palette variants. #gamedev #pixelart

I missed the proper date for Rarepair in the week, but my first big #FE3H fic was Felix/Ingrid/Sylvain... also 18+ ABO nsfw: archiveofourown.org/works/202855...
Writing this definitely helped feel out the characters while also playing through the BL/AM route for the first time.

Admittedly, for 3H fics I got into the controversial ABO AU (or Trope?) #fe3htimeskip I enjoy the additional layer on worldbuilding. I have a G-ish rated, platonic childhood fic for the Faerghus Four: archiveofourown.org/works/270272...
(higher rated 3H ABO in the reply below)

"Made for a Zine" #fe3htimeskip a MerciDue post-game fic I co-wrote with @celestialrand.bsky.social we got to touch on how not everything would be roses post-war, and had the couple confront Mercedes' awful adoptive dad. Also ballgowns! archiveofourown.org/works/30085395

Feels like they needed to recycle 3H elements, but we'll see if they square the lore behind them (and 3H itself does a bad job of addressing these implications)
And I belated realize the young protag with dreads has a glowy icon appear, so he's got a Crest- somehow. Hm
