Did you know that leeches were once used to predict storms? Well, a tornado warning just dropped and my squad is climbing
My dad is a meteorologist and he has never once warned me about an incoming storm. My leeches, however......

*urgently* Lads, the leechometre is at 12 bong, I repeat, 12 bong!
"tempest prognosticator" absolutely sounds like some kind of arcane device a wizard would have lying around in his workshop
It would also probably have leeches in it.
I really like how karaoke scene with The Smallest Church in Saint-Saëns plays out in Disco Elysium and I really, really, genuinely like the limbic system version more than reptile brain's version.
Like most people will catch on to the fact that you have to pass a drama roll to "succeed" in singing. This means undoubtedly that you are basically lying to the crowd so that you have enough composure to not "embarrass yourself".
You can tell that the way these two voices sing have entirely different emotions behind them.
The reptile brain sounds detached and tired. Exhausted from everything it saw to the point it has a hard time caring anymore. From a washed up cop, this is a plausible story. Something that makes sense to the audience and perhaps something some of them even relate to. Its even something that's somewhat romanticized in media. This is why its considered a success compared to the limbic system version (beside the lack of voice cracks of course)
Its a story of a gruff, stoic, "manly", and battered agent of justice that doesn't give a shit anymore.
But this isn't harry's truth
The "failing" option is a screeching, voice cracking plea of desperation and sorrow. Its what happens when harry shows his feelings for what they are. Unlike the the reptile brain, the limbic system cares. A lot. Too much even, because it cares so much it hurts. The years of horror and pain didn't make any of his feelings dull and the terrible things he sees hurt just as bad as they did the first time he saw them.
This in short summarizes the honor and tragedy of being Harrier Du Bois.
A cop who's story is accurately told by the reptile brain is a bad cop who is only in the field of justice for a paycheck and nothing else. A cop like that has lost his sympathies and doesn't actually care about the pain of others anymore.
Thats not harry. The reason why harry is a legend, the reason why harry only has three kills on record in spite of a long and successful career, the reason he is a pathetic mess, the reason why he nearly drank himself to death, is because he fucking cared about everything he did and everyone he met.
Kim was right when he said limbic system's version was genuinely tragic.
Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.
pov: you’ve been transported to the 17th century
#in the article it says that the sailboat sailors were concerned because they could not be towed quickly because of the kind of boat#so they asked Götheborg what type of ship they were and warned that they would not be able to go above a certain speed#and götheborg went ' we are also a sailboat. 50 meters length. no worries :) '#and the poor sailboat sailors were just like ' That's not possible. they have to be messing with us' and then the ship Rolled Up (via bunjywunjy)
I'm crying. Here's a photo of a sailor from the Götheborg watching over the little sailboat in tow:
From the story:
We repeatedly emphasized that we were aboard a small 8-meter sailboat, but the response was the same each time: "We are a 50-meter three-masted sailboat, and we offer our assistance in towing you to Paimpol." We were perplexed by the size difference between our two boats, as we feared being towed by a boat that was too large and at too fast a speed that could damage our boat.
The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it? The Götheborg approached very close to us to throw the line and pass a large rope. The mooring went well, and our destinies were linked for very long hours, during which we shared the same radio frequency to communicate with each other.
The crew of the Götheborg showed great professionalism and kindness towards us. They adapted their speed to the size of our boat and the weather conditions. We felt accompanied by very professional sailors. Every hour, the officer on duty of the Götheborg called us to ensure everything was going well.[...]
This adventure, very real, was an incredible experience for us. We were extremely lucky to cross paths with the Götheborg by chance and especially to meet such a caring crew.
Dear commander and crew of the Götheborg, your kindness, and generosity have shown that your ship is much more than just a boat. It embodies the noblest values of the sea, and we are honored to have had the chance to cross your path and benefit from your help.
"Our destinies were linked for very long hours" is just knocking me out.
This is literally my favorite tweet of all time. It’s so powerful.

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all
because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text
I’ve also uploaded this design to INPRNT, and all sales proceeds will be donated to environmental and humanitarian charities!
