Links to Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham’s own posts on drift compatibility and drifting

• Drift compatibility is psychological, not genetic
• The better you know someone, the more likely you are to be drift compatible
• Drift compatibility is potential, not fate
• Drift compatibility can be a choice
• Friendship is the foundation of drift compatibility
• The drift requires trust
• Trust is fundamental; also drift compatibility can be determined with anything that tests how well you can anticipate each others’ moves
• That even includes multiplayer video games
• Many cadets wash out during Pons training when secrets come out in the drift and shatter their relationships
• A lot of pilots get messed up by flinching over sexual thoughts
• Trying to avoid thoughts just makes them worse
• Not everything you see in the drift is always real; also the way to deal with thoughts is just let them flow by
• Pilots communicate through “headspace”
• Illustration of a conversation in headspace
• First drifts can be very confusing, because partners don’t understand each others’ minds very well yet
• The drift exposes pilots to each others’ raw, unfiltered thoughts
• Raleigh knew what Yancy was going to say
• The drift doesn’t let you read your partner’s mind like a database, and you may not necessarily understand what you see. Also when Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift he means he’s calm and stable.
• Pentecost gained this calmness through meditation
• Trying to block your partner from your mind will make you lose control of the Jaeger
• Pilots who fall below 90% sync will be in trouble
• General information plus info on RABITs
• You can chase your partner’s RABIT
• Another post confirming you can chase your partner’s RABIT
• More RABIT info
• More general information
• Travis Beacham defines ghost drifting
• Partners’ personalities can rub off on each other
• Neural overload doesn’t hit you all at once; it accumulates
• The time a pilot can go solo varies, and it’s a steep curve from fine to dead
• More info on solo piloting
• Being high in the drift probably makes it harder to avoid chasing the RABIT

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

No but genuinely. Christians make themselves so goddamn miserable (speaking as someone raised evangelical christian) that they need to believe that other people are finally getting what they “deserve” (i.e. greater suffering than they themselves self-inflicted or allowed them chuch the inflict). It’s a large part of why they’re so vehemently against is queer people: because we’re living authentically ourselves and we’re happy and they can’t be either, not without foresaking some, if not all, of their beliefs and their church community

Without hell, the whole thing falls apart. Because why else would Jesus need to die? If no one is in hell, what was the point of being so miserable?

Their miserable lives are also why they feel the need to control everyone else through politics. They had to marry the horrible man who knocked them up at 16, why should someone else be allowed to get an abortion and be happy?

Pope Francis is South American, the home of modern redemptionist theology in the Christian church. It should be no surprise that he sincerely hopes hell is empty. It means everyone is saved, that the message of love and compassion is true, and the sacrifice of Jesus sealed the fate of every human: eternal life with God.

That is exactly why so many people detest that message: it means suffering is not holy. It means punishment isn’t necessary. It means they judged their brothers and sisters in humanity in the place of God.

And that, my friends and listeners, is Blasphemy.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

I think the new type of despair I’m experiencing after this most recent election is that, in spite of frequent depictions of history and common narratives in fiction, it turns out sometimes a lot of people try to stop something bad from happening and it happens anyway. Sometimes, a bad thing happens not because of an absence of voices of dissent – an absence of heroic people who know what right and wrong is. Sometimes, all of those people show up and fight for what’s right, and they lose anyway. And that is a horrible thing to experience in real time. But it also makes me feel guilty about every time I asked, in regards to history, “what were they thinking? Couldn’t anyone see how wrong they were to do such a thing?” I’m sorry – to all the people who showed up and tried to stop them, I’m sorry for assuming you simply weren’t there, and that that was why they got away with it. I understand now. You were there, and they got away with it anyway. Sometimes that’s how it goes.

I really hope Viktor gets to join the Zaun found family trio of Jinx , Sevika and Isha, especially with the whole god parallels they’d have going on between them.

Viktor can heal with the hexcore and has all the religious magic symbolism stuff, and now people are gonna see Jinx as the protective spirit Janna from her explosions up the vents to Piltover.

Zaun essentially gaining a god of healing and a goddess of protection is exactly the kind of morale boost they need to actually band together against everyone else’s bs.

I’m realizing there are 3 types of Dragon Age fans.

1) Gamers who play latest big flashy action game

2) UwU kissy dating and besties simulator

3) Interested in the sociopolitical and theological themes and thesis statements the series is historically known for

Veilguard is not made for fan #3. It is a very pretty game that has absolutely nothing it wants to say–to the point that what it says by saying nothing is often times pretty offensive.

I agree. Cute, but toothless and shallow in content.
