The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.
It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.
However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.
Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.

1. for the choose violence ask game?
I could pick any character in this series and write out a full essay about how someone somewhere interpreted them wrong. However most of them would be low hanging fruit, or out of date with the current vibes.
What HAS been bothering me is something specific that we all got wrong about Six. This scene:
At the end of the series, they're all going off in their own ways, they're all finding something else to do with their lives. They're all finding ways to keep doing work; Nine is teaching, John is rebuilding, Adam's decolonizing his culture, and Marina is doing…whatever we were supposed to interpret that as. So we look to Six, who's the second in command, the one with her head on straight, the one that's gung ho and go go go and battle ready, and she's….on vacation?
We were all so mad at Frey for this. You can scroll back on THIS BLOG and find where I was personally upset about it. How dare he! She'd never! She'd keep giving back no matter what!
I think we were wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I reread Six's Legacy recently, and I was surprised by the gap between fanon’s interpretation of Katerina as a free loving battle mom and who she actually is.
She's soft. She pushes Six to do normal homework, to read textbooks and fairy tales, to play board games! She believes in meditation and building Six into a well rounded individual. She wanted her to know about earth and to /live/ on earth when it was all over. She was also a squishy af romantic who'd left her family behind
(Ouch)
Out of all of them, I think Six's Cepan had the highest hopes for her. And she's the one who's the most mentally sound out of all of them! She's the one who makes sound plans, who keeps her head most of the time, who falls in love with another mostly stable person and builds a life with him. (Cannot stress how healthy samix is compared to all the rest of that). When the war ends, the sane soldiers go home, make babies, and move on with their lives. And since half human/loric people are canon in the past, I think the concept of them building a family and a life together is fully in reach in her mind. She's spent her entire life having to go places out of necessity, having to run and run for years because settling wasn't possible for her. Now suddenly she has freedom and a traveling partner to go wherever she wants. There's special rocks that let them teleport without ever having to go through customs. I'd be eating lunch in spain and skinny dipping in the Tallahassee river every single fucking day, personally,
And it's not like she's sworn off using her skills forever! There's several points in legacies reborn where she steps in behind the scenes to move the plot along. The side novellas for the reborn series are ALL about the stupid shit Sam and Six are doing to clean up the government's poorly managed problems. She just doesn't personally trust the governments they were just fighting against to protect her or anyone she cares about, which I honestly think is the more sane conclusion. She's tired, she's RE-tired, and she's earned it.

Do you have any sirina headcanons?
ooh yes!
-marina takes candid photos of six that six is embarrassed of but marina thinks they're cute
-they have recreated the famous eyeliner photo (six is doing marina's eyeliner)
-their room is an eclectic mix of their aesthetics, such as landscape paintings marina made hanging above a knife rack
-six dyes her hair in the bathtub and marina pretends to be annoyed but helps her with the dye and the cleanup
-six has also dyed marina's hair with pink and blue highlights
-as a result, all their pillowcases are stained with a rainbow of manic panic
-six thinks it's very funny to kiss marina when she's wearing makeup right before she heads out to smudge her lipstick
-marina is a good cook but six's contributions to the kitchen are limited to handing her the ingredients
-when marina has bad days, six cooks (poorly) and they watch disney original movies from the 2000's
-when six has bad days, marina is the only person who can get her to stop training and they take a nap on the couch together
-marina does complicated hairstyles on six
-six is good at sewing because she had to learn to repair clothes and sews colourful patches onto marina's clothes
-marina knits, and made their blankets as well as a scarf that six wears as soon as it starts getting chilly
-they have fairy lights in their room to help with the nightmares
-marina uses spanish pet names and six blushes every time
i have so many ahhh i love them so much! thanks for the ask!

Samix ones? It's okay if not, that's pretty specific
Ask as many times as you want, for whoever you want!! I got headcanons for everyone :D
When Sam and Six started traveling, the first thing Six wanted to do was go to upstate New York, the last place she and Katarina lived before they were captured. She and Sam made a small memorial for Katarina, putting a flower pot with her name on it, and Six's words were: "We did it, Katarina. We lived."
The second thing they did was visit Sam's mom, who was overjoyed to know her son is safe and alive, because all the months of worrying where he is or who the Garde were made her miserable and distraught. Sam's mom insisted on having Sam stay for a while because she wants their time together to last longer since Sam is now a Human Garde and has bigger duties and can't be the same 16 year old boy he was only a few months ago. She and Six got to know each other for a while, which took some warming up, but internally Six was also savoring the moment of having a family and a home to return, a guardian to call "Mom."
Six had the experience of family bonding and also for the first time ever have a peaceful moment with Sam without danger hanging above their heads, and they both loved every minute of it. They hung out in Sam's room and see all of his alien obsession stuff, Sam's mom taught them French a bit because "your friend John, his father sounded French because of his accent, but turns out their home language sounded like French! See Sam, I told you it would've helped to be more cultured around here but you always insisted on your father's side of things instead of mine. Now you gotta learn it for your girlfriend here," and Sam blushed the whole time about it, and Six enjoyed one hearty meal after another and boy it sure did feel like home.
Ask game!

Photo
Saw an art challenge where you draw six designs of the same character from different artists, so I tried that out here with John, and picked several artists whose designs of him I’ve really liked!
Artists in order: @evawoez @totally-nota-garde @massive-lesbian @snotnozed @atmntloric @noblemaiden-world
