“Because I was trapped in our loop, and he wasn’t. It makes the world feel very small to be cooped up like that for years and years. It isn’t good for the mind or the soul. It makes small problems seem very large. And a longing for someone that might otherwise have subsided after a few months became... consuming.”
"YOUR ymbryne speaking" like she already sees Jake as her child. that's firstly. secondly, WHY is her anger so fucking elegant??

- Zaunites dying to help Piltover in battle while wearing enforcer uniforms, even though Piltover did nothing to earn it
- Silco, one of the few pro-Zaun/anti-Piltover characters from season 1, reduced into a mouthpiece for "forgiving those who wronged you" and letting go
- Jinx, one of the few anti-Piltover characters, becoming redeemed by sympathizing with Piltovians, being apologetic for killing Councilors, and feeling like she should die to allow her sister to be happy with her enforcer girlfriend
- Vi not having any problem with her Piltovian enforcer girlfriend gassing Zaun, and reduced to kneeling for Caitlyn's pussy in a prison cell, where she was locked for years as a child by an enforcer
- Jayce telling Viktor that his disease was never a weakness to be cured even though the disease was caused by Piltover polluting Zaun
- Ekko never calling out Heimerdinger's failings as a ruler nor Vi for joining the enforcers (even though he does in the game), and also risking all the Firelights' lives to help Piltover
- Sevika not having any lines in Act 3, never interacting with Jinx or reacting to Isha's death, and also risking her life to help Piltover, a decision which was made off screen

Enoch: Put away your 12 cents. I won't kick out wasp from the room.
oh, I wanted to write about it but someone has already done it. so here's some additional information:
like, yep, it may be just coincidence because «panoptes» in Greek means «omniscient» buuut the fact that Myron's last name is also Bentham...
here are some notes about Jeremy's idea:
By reformulating ethics in terms of an intricate calculus designed to maximize pleasures and minimize pains, Bentham hoped to secure "the greatest happiness of the greatest number"
On one level, of course, Bentham was dealing in hypothetical future. Yet Foucault insisted that the Panopticon was more than just an idle fantasy. Bentham's "simple idea in Architecture" offered, he wrote, "the diagram of a mechanism of power reduced to its ideal form"; it mapped out the specific anatomy of modern power that Foucault called "discipline".
mm, I smell some parallels, mister Riggs
Alright, if you have read Library of Souls you know about the Panloopticon an its function. Months ago I got an ask on my other mphfpc blog about the meaning of its name and at first it had to do with the Ancient Greek word “pan” which means “all” + loop + ticon, because, you know, it’s supposed to be a door to other loops. It makes sense.
But this week I developed another theory about how Riggs might’ve come up with this name. For this I have to tell you about a French philosopher named Foucault. In 1975, he published his book “Discipline and Punish” about personal and institutional discipline and different subjects that I won’t go into right now because it’s not that important for the point I’m going to make. Foucault stated that, if institutional discipline is taken too far, it will have a negative effect on society, but that it is in general a “good” thing because when you when you know or think that you are being watched you start to behave differently (think Orwell’s “1984″).
In his book, Foucault invokes the idea of another philosopher and social theorist, Jeremy Bentham, an Englishman. This idea was something called the Panopticon - a type of building, a prison, that looks something like this:
(Source: http://foucault.info/) The cells along the walls have two mirrors facing the outer wall and the inner wall. The guard in the centre of the panopticon is able to watch all prisoners all the time, but the prisoners aren’t able to notice when he is watching them, thus creating a constant fear that they may or may not be watched.
If translated loosely, Panopticon means “place where everyone and all can be watched”.
And I don’t know if Riggs is into philosophy, but I thought this was a very plausible theory for the origin of the Panloopticon.

it’s not great I know, I’ve gone a bit into an art block again
It’s funny how comparatively stupid Jacob can be sometimes and, when the adults mention it
