there’s something inherently compelling about the fact that beverly toegold v, who became a hero of myth and legend the summer he turned 16, who saved the world before he finished school, who thought all his green teen friends were cooler than him despite the clear fact that he would be the one moving up in status fastest, still fighting gods 200 years later. like yeah, all three of the boobs were there to fight thiala. but bev was used as a pawn to kill pelor. a time he was used is the reason the gods are planes-hopping, attempting to gain power and hearts by killing each other. if thiala hadn’t done it, no one would think of it as an option - murph has made that obvious - and beverly was the reason she was successful. he was forced to grow up too soon to fight a war. he finished growing up to fight in a war his actions (that were not his fault) made possible. and he lost countless people because of it. he lost is god and had to make a new pledge. he’s doing his damn best to stop others from having to do the same.

i learned that there was an early 1900s act named “Sober Sue”, who’s draw was she never smiled. A theater offered $1000 to any one who could make her laugh, attracting big comedians. Crowds came out to watch them try, and fail, giving them a free show. Later it came out that Sue suffered from facial paralysis (x)
a little more information regarding the maui wildfires:
medical workers on the ground are describing finding hundreds of bodies. the current death toll in the media is, unfortunately, only a fraction of the reality
hospital workers are describing injuries and trauma as if survivors had come out of a warzone
thousands are still missing
an apartment complex for the elderly was lost. not everyone could get out. people were saying goodbye to loved ones over the phone
people who did get out of lahaina were leaving with ashes covering their faces and nothing but the clothes on their backs. people are losing everything.
hotels are still operating. hotels are still operating. they are not the ones offering shelters or housing or food. even bowling alleys are offering shelter, but hotels have the audacity to build on burial sites but not open their doors to local families who have lost everything.
