one of the unrealistic expectations in mgs series is that a mullet can stay combed back in a ponytail like that without hanging all over the face instead. it's either some magic or shit ton of hair product or idk a week's worth of mud and blood that's keeping it together.

literally me when my overgrown short hair is long enough to put in a ponytail:

when you can’t evEN SAY‼️mY NAme❗️

otasune week in sickness and in health prompt. influenced by me wanting fish soup

2025 is a good number, it’s a quarter of the way through the 20 hundreds and it’s got that nice set of 2s separated by only a 0. not bad. whatever happens this year at least it’ll be happening during a good number 😌

very enjoyable session and i am glad with the results

yukio mishima: this example illustrates the point that a person can fill his life with pursuit of words or sculpting his body and feel content either way, but a man who chose to rely on the words and disregard the body will eventually find himself helpless and deceived in the face of death

me drowning in a lake while my friend, 11th century french rabbi and prolific scriptural commentator Schlomo "Rashi" Yitzchaki (zy"a) stands nearby: help im drowing help me rashi

Schlomo "Rashi" Yitzchaki (zy"a): "drowing" is likely a scribal error for "drowning." "im drow[n]ing" is to say: my lungs have become filled with water, and i am struggling to breathe. "help" once followed by "help me" a second time: the first [help] is directed to the Holy One, blessed be He, and means: "may He help us by swiftly delivering the World to Come;" the second (i.e., "help me") is to invoke direct assistance in this world, spoken as if to a personal friend. the meaning of "rashi" here is unclear.

I felt nostalgic and full of love for MGR community today, so... 2015-2023 MGR FAN ART BOOK This is a compilation of my artworks done over the years. Most of them appeared on my blog, but some haven't. This pdf contains 30 pages of art in chronological order: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13x7v1gGjAgE84C_ncDMyih1cS_IJAyla/view?usp=sharing Aside from a little retouching, I chose not to redraw older works and included them as is. This art book vividly illustrates how my themes and style have changed, so I feel almost disconnected from the starting pages.

Includes violence and Samdowner things, of course.

wow i forgot lol, thanks for clarification, has been a while since i played it

further research (replay of the bipedal pw fight) required to determine whether it was always first and foremost a horse (although at some point a bipedal one) or gained its horse qualities with the second set of limbs (smart emoji)

finding out the answer to what is a metal gear is far more vibes based if i dont take the bipedal nuclear weapon description. why the fuck isnt peacewalker listed as a metal gear on the wiki she should count !

have read "the sun also rises"/"fiesta" by hemingway. review below

i'd say it is a slice of life about bohemian american expats in paris with lots of casual conversations and description of their leisure, with a side of nature and bullfighting. although not explicitly stated by the narrator/main character, upon closer inspection the book is focused on how the virility (no pun intended, i can't think of a better word) of young men (and possibly women) was broken by ww1 despite wars being supposed to be both outlet and forge of virtue and merit.

i haven't read a lot of hemingway and not big on reading in general, but the intentional omitting of things makes it really good as well as suits the tendency of many characters to avoid thinking about some things. there are a lot of diverse and believable characters, both recurring and mentioned only once. their friendly chat and banter reminded me of philip k dick's "a scanner darkly" in some way. besides war, it depicts issues of living in immigration, loneliness and alienation in a city, scepticism, insecurity, discrimination, feeling emasculated and toxic polycules.

it also has an interesting depiction of a female character's life values but that is up to women to comment. although she also admits to feeling miserable most of the time, it seems she is better adjusted than most of the male characters.

it is sad that 100 hundred years later it is relevant (not talking for everyone) but comforting that people in the past felt the same way. personally i am going to adopt ways of coping depicted in it, such as group trips, spending time outside the city and competitive games/sports. note that any character probably wasn't supposed to be a moral role model probably even at that time: befriend people of other genders for the sake of good friendship, don't blame your irritation with a person on their nationality etc.

cw for this book are mention of discrimination, slurs (i counted 3), animal abuse, a bit of gore, alcohol abuse, consequences of war and a weird open relationship where no one is really happy.

i would also say it might be relevant for trans guys with bottom dysphoria but (ending spoiler ahead) main character doesn't think much about it and eventually realises that it doesn't even matter bc he and his peers are messed up mentally and a healthy dick would not grant a happy relationship. which still might be relevant but i'm not sure if it's the message anyone would be looking for :)

i had a lot of fun first listening to it on youtube and then switching to a paper book, highly recommend it. reading the litcharts review was a bit irritating for me and more gendered than it could be, but provided an interesting insight on where stuff i thought to be just "default" comes from and reflect on my own (civilian) life.
