beautiful, beautiful women in my area

forgivable, obviously. but it still jolted me out of musings over liches and dungeons and sinister magics, which is a terrible doom to have inflicted upon oneself--

they were (most likely) misremembering either A) demense, or B) the Domesday/Doomsday Book, or C) the purely invented forgotten realms term for a lich's domain (personal retreat, sanctuary) which WAS "doom"

it's just. In the slow-motion, heavily emphasized promo shot for the season trailer? the one that (I swear) is also a cheeky little nod to the sniping NCR Ranger in the New Vegas trailer? cmon....uplift the women of your local wasteland 👏💁‍♀️

"You guys loved Dinky the Dinosaur, right? And Big Iron? Here they are again!!"

like ok neat I guess, but....why? it's the sort of quick and easy visual callback everyone (I thought) was already annoyed by with the endless cycle of Hollywood remakes

Omg one of my favorite friar criticisms was "Filipinos are ADDICTED to bathing" (and washing off their feet before going into someone's house)....had to check rq but that one was Chirino and not Alcina 😔 just close enough in time to be another hater

But at the same time, the DIY patchworking of it all to understand this point in history with as much of a global perspective as possible feels right!

I love the ✨drama✨ of the gothic genre and I love history. and I love my mad scientist girl and the man she plans to attic-wife.

(they* as in "niche" regional resources/histories, aka anywhere in the global south. not in a gatekeeping way. like thru a violence and oppression kind of way, just to be clear)

Now I'm in a research pit made out of the necessity of DIYing colonial history resources together. It's taken me from 19th c. western medical history to the Crusades and, back & forth again, to my family's island(s) history in the Visayas.

I love it here. but oh my god. omg they dont make it easy.

Makes total sense! And in fairness, I suppose probably neither test are very "fun" for the patient 😅

Thanks for sharing these!

These x-rays are so fun on their own, but genuinely (as someone who's undergone a lot of different GI-related tests) a barium swallow test is the worst I've ever done. would be all for taking the ring toss capsule instead 🙏
