well we had a terrible run guys. just absolutely godawful. the worst anyones ever done it. i forgot where i was going with this

good morning. takuto maruki is one of the most interesting and best written characters in p5r and the fact that so many people do him such a disservice is a terrible shame

maruki sees akira and sees himself and he sees how deeply he cares about akechi and sees rumi there. and he knows he cannot ever return to her even though he loves her so much just because all he wants is for her to be happy. and he sees this kid! who reminds him of himself and who harbors all this pain and who helped him for a year with a project just because he asked and who Never asks for anything for himself and he says "okay. i cannot make a world in which i am happy. but perhaps i can make one where he gets a chance to be" . AND IT'S BASICALLY THIS FOR EVERYONE! maruki is not a part of a perfect reality he is not included in his solution. he is the martyr he is prometheus bringing fire to humanity and being eternally punished for it he's trying to convince eve not to eat the apple and incite pain and suffering. he is saying perhaps if i cannot be happy then others can, and that will have to be enough. he's sad and he's lonely and he's desperate and he's [WRITTEN EXPLICITLY TO BE AKIRA'S MIRROR] just trying to make people happy so that no one else feels the way he does. And he gives up on living entirely at the end of his palace. there is no point to his continued existence because he's miserable and shocked when akira wants to save him. Why is he written to be cartoonishly evil!!! what about this says "omg he's writing shuake fix it fics in canon lol" and not that he is someone who is hurting so badly and the only way he can make sense of it is to try and ensure no one else feels that way ever again?

I gotta take my chances

TIL Dr. Sigmund Freud was addicted to smoking and failed to quit for good throughout a 45 years long battle that included 33 operations for cancer of the jaw, an artificial jaw replacement, and attacks of “tobacco angina” exacerbated by nicotine . He was known to smoke up to twenty cigars a day.

It’s always been odd to me that there are not any ocean scavengers equipped to take optimal advantage of large carcasses. Like…. in prehistoric times, the oceans were full of huge animals… was this a problem back then too?

That was a twist I was not expecting.

So I have worked on whale breakdown teams before and it is dirty exhausting work. Even a small dolphin takes multiple people working the entire day just to do one.

So I would assume that if a team of mermaids were to break down a whale, this would be a dedicated team maybe working on rotation for for a couple of months. And maybe even up to 5 to 6 months for a large sperm whale. So most likely from they would be contracted for a certain period of time. Maybe they’re only paid a lump sum after the whole contract is complete. Don’t know anything about mermaid economy or employment practices. But it seems efficient from a employment perspective.

I’ve only broken down whales on land, so you are either on a beach or in a lab setting. But I would assume that mermaids would be stationed on the drifting whale and working on it until the job is done. Maybe attaching some platforms are scaffolding to rest after work or take breaks.

Whale break down is also mostly manual labor. It is dirty exhausting work and I can see maybe young mermaids being conscripted for something like this, especially if they are poor and lack employment options or as part of punishment as a form of community service or terms of parole. The drifting carcass essentially functioning as a labor camp and the workers stigmatized by their role. Is there a such a thing as mermaid labor law? Perhaps the shifts are long, rations are tiny and working conditions poor. Got a typhoon heading in with rough seas? Suck it up. Gotta keep cutting. Blubber ain’t going to harvest itself.

Like I can easily see this as a premise for a young mermaid to try to join up with a passing human ship in search of something better. Maybe a young mermaid from poor family and a minor criminal record with nothing to look forward to other than whale salvage, joins up with a questionable human operation such as a drugs smuggling ship or some pirates or a slave ship or Royal Caribbean cruise line, you get the gist. Adventures ensue….etc
