I am still so mad thinking about how Chairman Auckley wouldn't let Figment enroll in the Academy Scientifica-Lucidus.

Like what do you mean he can't go? There's a giant statue of him in the atrium!

In fact, if it weren't for Figment, Chairman Auckley wouldn't even have a job, because without him, they would have never moved the Academy to Florida!

Ironwood wanting to save who he can in a situation with no good solutions is the cementing evidence he’s always been an evil fascist bastard because he doesn’t make a good solution himself, but Jaune murder-s*iciding Penny when he’s the healslut of the group is ‘the only option’ and there totally wasn’t any other way they could have both saved Penny and stopped Cinder.

oh, he's gone, isn't he? he isn't in the bed. that's so sad. they should both be alive...

But the important thing is that they are alive in our hearts, dear anon. And also fanfics. That is mostly how I'm coping, tbh

I hope this means we're getting a big babyface Jey Uso solo run

I don't think you understand, Strawman, if I don't make the symbols obvious, people will just start having the WILDEST takes. The curtains are just blue! The sewing needle means literally nothing! That action he just did was not Chekov's cigarette flick!

Every minutiae of my characters' thoughts, actions, and surroundings are not all chess pieces that I am actively trying to outmaneuver you with!

And you never even guess the ones that are!!

So, yes, they are a Sun and Moon couple. Thank you for noticing; we worked very hard. >w<

“I hate obvious symbolism” bro shut up sun and moon couples are a pillar of our society

you know how sometimes you watch a bad movie and you think that wouldve made a good show. ‘cause there is no time to develop some storylines that the movie attempts to get attached to characters the way the movie expects you to. and youre like 3-4 seasons absolute banger. but ah well.

i feel like tua would make an ok movie. drop the unnecessary storylines some characters that didn’t even matter in the end. if i had watched a 2 hour movie where there is a character five and he loves his family but then he loves his post apocalyptic wife even more I’d walk out and be like yeah that’s just five. that’s how he is. but for 3 seasons nay 5 years /2019-2024) you were building up that character and his first priority in every timeline is saving his family from apocalypse after apocalypse and you throw all that away for what? so you can have your enemies to lovers post apocalypse au 1k? that’s bullshit! you don’t need to be a genius to realize no one wants that. fuck you!

did yall know cricut put a metal strip in the back of their newer Maker 3 that doesn't do anything except pop out after like six months of regular use and force you to call customer service so they can tell you to replace the machine

well they did and instead of calling them and replacing an entire functional fucking machine you can just cut the bar out and put tape over what's left

fuck offfff,

been losing my mind all day seeing zionists/zionist propaganda from artists/knitting/fiber people i casually follow on ig. it shouldn't be surprising, because i *know* this propaganda works, but goddamn. it will never not be horrifying to see so-called progressives/liberals from the US happily co-sign ethnic cleansing and in the same breath say they're inclusive and "anti-racist" or "de-colonial." the hypocrisy. i saw a zionist saying "from the river to the sea" is a terrorist, anti-semitic dog whistle!! zionists are despicable!!! israel has been killing palestinians for *decades* and when the people rise up and defend themselves, when they take their land back from the colonizers, it is labeled terrorism!! liberals' and progressives' words are useless. they prove constantly that they only believe that violence is righteous when it is the oppressors that are committing it. how can they have seen the wars and atrocities committed in iraq, afghanistan--the big invasions of the middle east i *know* they lived through--and not see it happening in palestine? they do not care, they have never cared, and i'm angry about it today and everyday, but it's really getting to me today. you can find the deaths and attacks from israel onto palestine in the fucking archives of news headlines on Wikipedia for christ sake, nothing is being hidden. everything is right there to show you that israel is the violent oppressor, the instigator, the colonizing force; it is not hamas, not Palestinians. if you as a liberal US american say you recognize you are a colonizer, that indigenous people have been wronged, but condemn palestine, you've been lying this whole time about yourself, and i knew that! but i'm fucking really mad about it today! this isn't a coherent rant, i just am incredibly mad to see zionists in my ig feed and the ever-present "well-meaning" liberals that feel a need to hopes-and-prayers their way through spouting war-mongering, violent bullshit.

free palestine. from the river to the sea, palestine will be free!

look me in the eye. look me in the fucking eye.

do you really think that a ren'py visual novel with a side of gba era fire emblem has anywhere near the budget of a game with freely explorable 3d environments where you shoot bullets at fast-moving statements

I'm not super in the fandom but I think a humanoid version of AM would wear that one fish hat but with the hate pillar speech on it instead

like this

so youre telling me. theres an adaptation of orpheus and eurydice. where eurydice was falling out of love with orpheus before her death but didnt know how to tell him, and when he walks into the underworld to get her back, shes forced to confess that she planned to leave him?? and shes the one to ask him to look back, but he doesn’t want to, because he knows she isn’t coming with him??? youre telling me that when he finally looks back, he does lose her, but only because he’s letting go??? you’re telling me its about grief? about drifting apart?? about moving on??? about love, and how its messy, and how sometimes it just doesn’t work out even if you go to hell and back for it, because we’re human and thats our tragedy????

you’re telling me netflix CANCELLED it?

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

Why do this??? Why show us that Dean wanted out?? That Dean thought about quitting hunting. Retiring. That Dean wanted to LIVE. When you intended from the get go to impale him on a rusty rebar. Because "it was always gonna end like this." Because "it was supposed to end like this, right?" Because Dean „HAD TO DIE?????” What do you mean Dean would never stop hunting when you’ve literally showed us he wanted to???? What do you mean Dean wanted to die hunting when he literally said he DIDN'T??
