I Think I Read That They're Actually The Shrine Names Spelled Backwards.

I think I read that they're actually the shrine names spelled backwards.

some of the names of the shrines/roots are very inspired

You said nothing wrong! It makes sense for Eclipse to do that sort of thing. And with what Sun said in today's episode, you could easily be right.

Sorry, I wanted to post this sooner but my brain has been out of it for some reason for the past few days. It still is today, really, but I couldn't wait any longer to say something when I heard Sun ask those things.

Okay. So this is serious and important.

Let's talk about "Eclipse is a nobody" episode.

TW/CW: su*c*de, manipulation, abuse

(post under the cut)

So I've been seeing that a lot of people were saying that Eclipse is su*c*dal. And I've been thinking about this and "Eclipse is a nobody" episode a lot.

And please don't hate me for what I'm about to say. At first I'll ask you this question: Isn't it even a little bit suspicious that our boys found out that star is basically killing Eclipse after Sun finally was able to talk back and stand up to Eclipse who abused him?

For me it seems very suspicious. Don't get me wrong. Su*c*de is a serious topic and we should take signs of it seriously.

But there is also the other side of it. Some people may use su*c*de as a threat and that's a form of manipulation. I think that Eclipse isn't su*c*dal. And I think that he only manipulates situation once again. Because doesn't that scene felt a little bit like: "oh poor Eclipse, he has no purpose in his life and he's in pain" and people immidiately feel pity towards Eclipse. And that's not entirely a wrong and bad thing. What I'm trying to say is that for me it seems that Sun didn't feel well with that situation. And I'm afraid that he might regret what he said to Eclipse. Even if he shouldn't.

Even if it would turn out to be true that Eclipse is in fact su*c*dal it isn't Sun's fault. I think that Eclipse isn't su*c*dal because there aren't any signs of it. If they'd show more signs that Eclipse is in fact su*c*dal then I'll take back my words.

But for now to me it looks more like a manipulation rather than anything else. Because like I said that I think that Eclipse is trying to manipulate Sun into believing that he's evil. And this situation works well for that because Eclipse may seem more like a victim, someone we should pity etc. And Sun could easily think that he caused Eclipse to feel like that. That he hurt Eclipse with his words so much that now Eclipse may consider taking his own life. And it may end up with Sun feeling even worse about himself, blaming himself for whatever is happening with Eclipse even more.

And if what I've said about Eclipse using Moon's computer for his advantage is true than it really makes sense that this whole situation is only an emotional manipulation. Because don't you think that everything that happened in that episode was too fitting for it to be truly just a coincidence?

And once again, please don't hate me for this. I just have a really hard time to believe that Eclipse is su*c*dal with all of his manipulations, gaslighting and abuse he inflicts onto others.

You're free to discuss this with me but in a civil manner of course, please and thank you.

Okay, VEEERY moot point, but Monty trying to act like the reasonable one and trying to get Foxy to listen to them by repeating his name WHILE SMACKING HIM IN THE FACE (with a punch sound effect EVERY TIME!) back and forth is freaking hilarious to me. The juxtaposition is (chef's kiss) perfect.

At least Foxy didn't seem to feel it, if he did it just made him angrier. Him ripping Monty a new one was so great.

RIGHT!? TODAY WAS BRUTAL! And Sun... oh, Sun, he needs help. He needs help FAST.

I hope he doesn't try to keep up the façade anymore, acting like he's okay when the mask has been slipping.

(SaMS spoilers below)

The things with the barrels isn't just OCD; it's been Sun's coping method from all the pain he's going through. The problem is that those are the same barrels he killed Bloodmoon with. How can you use a source of your own guilt to distract yourself? You can't!

The barrels were not a joke through the past few episode, they were foreshadowing!

AND BY GOD I WISH I COULD HUG SUN RIGHT NOW.

TSAMS WHY?!??!?!

I MEAN ITS GOOD BUT AT THE SAME TIME WHY?!?!?!

MY FREAKING HEART-

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

Sooo... how do you guys like my new avatar? It's not exactly dark and mystical like I'd like it to be, but then again neither was my old avatar. I honestly had no inspiration with that one and decided I just wanted something pretty. XD

Credit where credit is due, this is from a game coming out next year called "Little Kitty, Big City". The trailer for the game itself is hilariously adorable, and there's a free demo on Steam and I just... get it. Get it. Get the demo. Seriously. Go get it. Now. I SAID NOW.

Also, no I'm not sponsored by the developers or anything (do people even get sponsored on Tumbr?). I just found someone playing this game and I'm in love with the demo. I've played it about four times over the past three days, and I played all the way through each time.

I can bring up a link to the video, but I'd like to ask the creator of the video if she's okay with it before I do anything. Call me overly cautious, but... yeah, I'm overly cautious with everything. XD
