I don't know what I love more, the fact that as rook you can make a statement in NO uncertain terms that you are NOT responsible one way or the other for the theological implications of the shit you're discovering in the 'regrets of the dread wolf' memories. not my jurisdiction. quite simply none of my business. not my chantry circus not my chantry monkeys. irrelevant to the matter at hand here we'll kill that god if we get to him he can get in line. or if the best thing about it is seeing the lone little 'lucanis approves' that pops up right after choosing it. corvid with a knife about to commit deicide keeping it real and sensibly, pragmatically, wilfully agnostic with me here in this magical lighthouse today

Ripping apart everyone whose response to “I want more and better women in shounen” is “just watch shoujo” biting and maiming and killing
#you don’t GET IT !!!!!!!#like shoujo is fine it’s good it exist#however. when I said. I want shounen with women#I mean I want female characters who ACT LIKE and have similar plot beats to SHOUNEN CHARACTERS#maybe YOU want to watch a girl in a big frilly dress shoot rainbows#or watch a slice of life lady fall in love#I want a girl to look desperately for her DEADBEAT MOM#and be possessed by an EVIL DEMON for her to ANGST OVER#and have an EDGELORD BEST FRIEND who is DOWN FOR MURDER#and for all the girls to have MAGICAL POWERS CENTRIC ON PUNCHING#I want the girls to all be EMOTIONALLY STUNTED#and have a DEAD DAD to ANGST OVER#the solution to ‘I want girl shounen’ is not ‘go watch shoujo’#that’s the equivalent of me saying I want girl avengers and you saying ‘just go watch Gilmore girls it has girls in it !!!!!’#these are not COMPARABLE THINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#kaz rambles

me: evil stan twins is kind of fun actually, it's interesting to write a couple of guys that aren't the least bit redeemable
also me, sobbing: but what if they weren't evil and they were redeemed and they lived the rest of their lives in a nice little comfy cozy cabin in a sunny oak forest filled with rabbits :'[
#'my sons are evil'#'NO. NO THEY AREN'T. IT WAS ONE TIME (it wasn't)'#ohh the writing struggle is real#i want the best for them but the best is that they doN'T FUCKING MURDER PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE#have you ever just went one in direction and then veered so hard in the other that you snap your neck?#the only real solution i can think of right now is that i literally just make a second evil stan twins au#where the end result for them being what's outlined above is both possible and good#so we have evil stan twins and we have evil* stan twins#nailed it (joking)

Low-key want to see Miri get bullied or suffer from some lighthearted teasing that upsets her and knocks her dads into action because I just know Kazuki's reaponse is gonna be a logical "how will we go about this, maybe have a sit down with the other kid's parents or the school" and Rei will probably be a "we should kill the kid"
Which will be funny but also open up the avenue for Kazuki to come clean about his own trauma regarding the death of his wife and child.
#buddy daddies#does rei know about Kazuki's past?#how much do the two of them really know about each other#happy's babblings#also i think it would be funny if all of rei's solutions involve murder or some other crime#like this is all he knows he is doing his best#happy talks buddy daddies

Veronica Mars s1 is still a near perfect season of television but it also already contains the Fatal Flaw that derails the rest of the series
And that fatal flaw is that logan & veronica have such incredible accidental chemistry as a pairing (romantically & platonically) that having them not be endgame doesnt make any sense, but!!! having them BE endgame ALSO doesnt make any sense, given how early in the show they get together and how complete and sympathetic Logan's redemption arc is allowed to be in that first season.
Like, where do you go from there? And the answer is nowhere very interesting, without either regressing both characters or inventing awkward reasons for things not to work out like blowing up a boat or whatever the heck happened in the movie (idk I didnt watch it). And he is rich!!! Huge wrench in classic relatable mars motivations of taking jobs to get cash.
#realizing that duncan was supposed to be endgame makes a lot of sense but he is so boring comparatively that they couldnt do that either#i dont have a solution and havent rewatched s2 yet#but i feel like maybe the answer is to make logan an ok boyfriend but an absolute fucking nonfunctional mess of a person in s2#to the point where it makes way more sense for them to break up immediately but in a way where he still gets to be a part time scoobie#the other fatal flaw obviously is killing a bus of teens we dont know /= dead best friend murder mystery#but thats not s1's fault#veronica mars#logan echolls

lesson learned: don't give Baelan the noblestalk
Update: I found Derryth in the Elfsong and she actually seemed to be doing better in this scenario and was actually pleased to see Tallis despite how upset she was back in the Underdark. She's gotten away from a life she hated and finally remembers how to breathe freely :')
So giving him the noblestalk isn't the worst scenario after all... Still have no regrets about murdering his ass tho :)
#bg3#bg3 spoilers#baelan bonecloak#derryth bonecloak#i fully expected her to be mad as hell but nope. she was so happy to see me and i was flabbergasted#maybe curing him is the best solution because it gets her away from him and this life that she doesnt want#because you can always murder his ass later

"Is she now?" Callahan asked with a little smile, leaning against the table as Lon nodded eagerly, saying, "Uh-huh! It's gonna be a big chocolate bat, with candy eyes and vanilla chocolate chips for fangs! It's gonna be really cool! She made us a pumpkin one last year!"
"Pumpkin, huh? Your pa or your grandpa ever tell you the tale of Stingy Jack?" "Uh-huh! We even carved turnips last year! It was kinda weird, though. I like pumpkins better."
"Have you ever...tasted pumpkin before?" August ventured to ask, at which the boy made a bit of a face, saying, "Like...pumpkin pie?"
"That's one way, but...pumpkin has a lot of applications when it comes to cooking. Pumpkin bread, roasted pumpkin seeds, even pumpkin soup. Your great-grandmother Josephine has quite a few recipes for it."
"Ick!" Lon frowned, sticking his tongue out in response to this-he didn't even much like pumpkin pie, so the idea of pumpkin anything else wasn't all that appealing: As far as he was concerned, pumpkins were only good for carving and throwing guts around with his sister, not so much eating.
"I...I like pumpkin pie."
Both August and Callahan were surprised to hear Erika speak up-in some ways, she looked just as surprised at her own bravery, what with her big eyes and glowing cheeks. Still, it made both men smile, with August venturing to ask, "Is it your favorite flavor of pie?"
"No...I like peach cobbler best."
"Well, Josie has a recipe for that too," he chuckled. "And I think she'd be thrilled to make it for you."

I'm going to be withholding judgment until i have Batman 138 in my digital hands (and possibly be exceptionally generous and wait until a week after Gotham War has wrapped) but, based solely on those previews... what the fuck?
Like I recognize that, to Bruce, Jason is an impossible problem. But even still this feels like an exceptionally bad solution.
#Gotham war#Batman#Red Hood#Jason Todd#bruce wayne#also when i say “Jason Todd is an impossible problem”#please understand i mean from Bruce's POV#where Jason is both his beloved son and a mass murderer#emotionally he wants what's best for Jason#for him to be happy and healthy and free#morally however he has to stop Jason#this is ... theoretically a solution#but damn at first glance it seems like a really really bad one#never mind the horrible ethics of rewiring someone's brain like that without their knowledge or consent

Deacon, after approx. 10 minutes of traveling together: I am a Synth™. Here is my tragic backstory that I do not remember, hence the tragedy. Also here is a code that can literally get rid of all my memories but will get me to answer almost anything about the Institute. I trust you with my life and all of my secrets.
My dumb ass, (after overhearing Deacon's coworkers talk about how he's probably a synth, Deacon himself saying that he changes his face a lot right before learning it's what synths do to get the Institute off their trail, noticing his willingness to help the Railroad and how he always brings up Glory) thinking he was just really paranoid and really into plastic surgery after the Doc Crocker debacle:
#no lie that was my exact reaction#i had absolutely no clue#i really did just write it off as a conspiracy when i overheard the railroad ppl talking about it#like “no way bethesda has TWO synths in here?? We already have Valentine?? Why would they have another synth??”#and then.#yeah.#anyway#enjoy~#fallout 4 spoilers#tagging that because even tho it's like 10 years old#this is my first playthrough I don't want ppl to get spoiled if it's their first playthrough too#yes I look up the solutions on the wiki when i get stuck#yes I also look up the best ending for conversation trees on the wiki i just really want the good end nv made me paranoid#no that doesn't matter rn#fallout 4#fallout#deacon#meme time#also yes the crazy murderer surgeon Doc Crocker in Diamond City really got to me idk why#it was the earl sterling case if anyone remembers#Edit: ffs that liar.

While I’m at it I’m gonna punch Jacob too because he basically let penny get hurt due to his stupidity
#why would u listen to ur dad who employed the same woman who murdered ur sisters friend#and trapped u in a portrait for years#and believes mind control is the best solution to fix the corruption as if that’s not easily something that can go very very wrong#if it falls into the wrong hands no one should have THAT much power#now wasn’t the time for your daddy issues JACOB#mella speaks#liveblogging

The amazing thing is not that the stomach churns, it's that it doesn't churn more often
#I've seen people say ''hamas is not murdering civilians it's expelling settlers''#i've seen people be rabidly anti-Semitic about people fleeing in airports#newsflash: there's not exactly a robust train system or safe roads#i've seen people— neighbors. neighbors. say that animal control is the best solution for this#i've seen people posting maps of reservoirs in Gaza and @-ing the Israeli government in it#i've seen pictures#i've seen people calling for retaliation on Iran and listing off targets#i've unfollowed countless people I thought I had things in common with because nothing anyone can do is criminal#forget evil for a second; evil's not a historical category#this is; as another put it; a series of massacres#and yes most if not all anticolonial movements went through massacres#and I do believe people who switch sides or withdraw any sympathy and wash their hands of it the moment a massacre are committed#i believe that those people are deeply unserious; no matter how sympathetic i am to them#and I also personally don't believe Hamas is doing this half-cocked/for the fun of it/with no blueprint for the political aftermath#i do think this is not random; senseless violence. it was carefully planned violence. a very organized massacre#and of course the stomach churns to that; as it did to what came before and what came after#i just wonder whether anything else is possible. if there is a path to peace where our stomachs will not churn. one not forged in massacre#it wasn't possible for French Algeria. it wasn't possible for India. it wasn't possible for Haiti. it has happened elsewhere#but can anything else happen here ? within these borders ? with these people ? with all the blood ?#so as I have always done and will likely always do I support any Palestinian challenge to the occupation#but the stomach churns at it. don't believe it doesn't

And you?
You worked overtime since you discovered their existance to become part of the team. But you are not like them. Not with them. Where they seek to destroy, you seek to protect. While they drench their hands in blood, you make a show of killing the alien, only to save them behind their back.
The truth is, you don’t care much about human’s subjugation. Humans have suffered through tyrans for generation— what’s one more? Plus it’s the first time the aliens meet such an advanced and sentient specie. So with a bit of time under their rule, to acquire their knowledge and technology, surely you’ll be ahle to win the aliens respect and achieve cohabitation in a more peaceful way. Or at least, that’s what you tell yourself. The truth is you just can’t ignore the murder of so many sentients being, no matter on whose side they are.
You are the rat in the ’saviors’ midst. Their goal is to kill every last invaders. Yours is to stop them.
The war was all but lost. The aliens captured world after world, Humanity’s subjugation seemed inevitable. Then your spec ops team was authorized. A group of Biologists with no morals, no scruples, no care for civilian casualties, and unlimited funding…
#and you’ll manage#to stop them#bcs ugh#i’d rather the world die#than it being saved by a bunch of murderers#i know history#i know it’s violent and everything#that diplomacy fails more often than not#but destroying everything can’t and shouldn’t be the solution#a life is a life#no matter where it come from#(plus the ’alone against the world / your ’allies’ is always the best trope 🎶)#writing prompt#writers on tumblr#writers corner#writing prompts

‘Are you anti zionist or zionist’ neither and both actually
#It’s soooo complicated#free palestine and also a two state solution is the only realpolitik answer right now#the vast majority of Jews are indigenous to the Levant but also Israel was created by colonial bodies as a colonial action#jews deserve self determination in their indigenous homeland and so do Palestinians. this is something that makes people mad somehow#murdering civilians is wrong. also something that makes people mad somehow#i think an anarchist no state solution would rule severely and be the best option#I don’t feel comfortable at oro palestine rallies because of latent antisemitism on the left#etc etc etc#also zionist and anti zionist. I think they’re kinda useless terms because no one can agree on what they mean

hm. actually i think that i will not be on social media for the foreseeable future.
#constantly thinking abt the tweet thats like#i shudder to think abt how some of u wouldve reacted to the haitian revolution#murder of civilians is bad!! why is this only discussed when colonized ppl fight back and never#within the context of the actual colonization open air prison and apartheid conditions#the murders of children and journalists and other civilians is inexcusable. so lets think abt how the average age in gaza is 18.#i dont have any solutions to offer but like. wow there's some super dehumanizing shit going on#'70 killed in israel 198 dead in gaza' is literally a headline i saw today. israelis are killed palestinians just magically drop dead ig#thousands of palestinians have been murdered senselessly. that is ALSO evil like how can you not see that the conditions created set this u#said conditions created by european nations who were like yeah best option to deal w jewish refugees? colonization.#i thoroughly condemn hurting civilians. which means i thoroughly condemn israel for their actions since the beginning#AND i condemn hamas' attacks on civilians. bc you can do both! but ppl dont see palestinians as ppl so violence against them is w/e ig#like how can you watch the videos of palestinians being violently thrown out of their homes from like. 2019. and think 'yeah this is fine'#i just dont get it. how do u see a military that killed 220 ppl. shot 8k. injured 36k. when they did an UNARMED PROTEST. as THE victim here#analysis of the causes of things is not justification btw. i think terrorism is bad. but this didnt happen in a fucking vacuum#putting 2mil ppl in an openair prison after forcing them out of their homes. constant news stories abt killing children nurses + journalist#reducing their quality of life. pouring CEMENT IN THEIR DRINKING WATER???? is fucking evil shit
