Forget every basic fantasy trope you’ve ever known. In Toraja cosmology, the universe is a MATRIARCHAL cosmic smithy. God, Puang Matua, forged eight FEMALE siblings out of PURE GOLD in a single womb of fire: making humans a literal blood sisters to buffalo, iron, cotton & VENOM.
And then you get your “fantasy not based on Medieval Europe” and it’s the exact same set of characters and plotlines, except the guy uses some weird foreign named bladed weapon instead of a sword and the character who says “Thordamn it!” instead says “Huitzilopochtlidamn it!”
The cops told the accused that they were shutting off the cameras (they were lying, but the accused believed them). They then told the accused that they just wanted to ask some questions "off the record" (no such thing).
Guy slammed his face into the desk and went "Explain that, motherfuckers!"
Gave himself a pretty solid black eye in the process, he went hard.
If they had shut off the cameras, it would have been _really_ awkward for the cops.
i hold special kind of contempt towards americans who were like "i wish i wasnt living through a major historical event right now!!" regarding the US bombing OUR country, who are now SILENT while thousands of venezuelans are missing and/or dead after the earthquakes.
I think about this often when I see conversations regarding the costumes in HoTD, GoT, etc. It has a bit of the feel of a game of telephone, where people are very insistent on medieval historical accuracy but then wonder why the characters aren’t wearing lace like GRRM described.
I know no one will care, but I've lost hope in the world. Despite what I've explained to you about the situation in Gaza, there's no one to care. When we die, remember that I was sharing my suffering and no one cared.

DO NOT DONATE TO THE VENEZUELAN RED CROSS, THEY ARE INTERVENED BY THE REGIME AND ANY MONEY SENT TO THEM WILL BE GIVEN TO THE REGIME WHO IS NOT HELPING PEOPLE AND HAS BEEN ACTIVELY SABOTAGING THE POPULATION FROM SAVING PEOPLE UNDER THE RUBLE.
In 2019, a Nigerian man called Gerald “Sunny” Okafor died in a Japanese detention center after a 4-week hunger strike. Detained for immigration issues, he begged to be sent home, but the Japanese authorities refused.
The Japanese are extremely hostile to Africans.
