i really dont get when ppl are like "liberals need to stop pressuring ppl to vote bc the liberal president is literally doing [x terrible thing]" and its like. yeah? all presidents are going to be fucked up pretty much. but do you want one thats doing some good things and some really bad, or ONLY extremely bad things????
when theres been studies that if all younger of-age people voted this place would be WAY more liberal than it is, i think theres only GOOD that can come out of encouraging more ppl to vote, and consistently. NOT disillusioning them early on and making them feel like nothing fucking matters (esp when you list no alternatives to voting for trying to change things)
it doesnt mean everythings gonna be all fucking sunshine and rainbows just bc theres a democrat president. but if we keep on the trend of liberalism we can get SOME progress done in this godawful country
if the current liberal president is doing shit you dont like. BE LOUD ABOUT IT. LET POLITICIANS KNOW YOU WANT PEOPLE EVEN MORE LIBERAL. AND BE LOUD ABOUT WHAT YOU DO LIKE. SHOW WHAT YOU WILL AND WONT ACCEPT.
THIS SHIT IS A GRADUAL PROCESS AND WE WILL GET INCREASINGLY BETTER PRESIDENTS IF YOU JUST LET US GET OUT OF THE RED HELL THAT IS THIS WHOLE COUNTRY
like holy shit, what would yall have rather TRUMP stayed in office ??????

My problem is that it also isnt a signal for much of anything. One person will win at the end of the day whether there is participation or not, all you do by not voting is not being part of either winners voting block-- but theyll still be there by the end of the election.
So unless you throw a revolution against the US government, voting is the best way to ensure the capability for things to be better to begin with, cause even if the reps dont overthrow the Democracy, they sure as hell will make it near impossible to get any progressive victories otherwise. All it will be is a fight to avoid losing/ or to regain thing such as womens reproductive rights, gay and interracial marriage, and even minorities rights to vote... and exist.
the problem with not voting in order to send the message that you hate all the candidates and the entire system and therefore refuse to participate is that it's completely indistinguishable, as a signal, from not bothering to vote because you think the system is great and all the candidates are great and you'd be fine with any of them. so you might want to rethink the strategy there

still thinking about that post that says "this election is looking grim but there absolutely will be a president next year" and it just absolutely sucks to think about like. the candidates are going to probably be a lunatic who almost overthrew and election and is probably going to get away with it who will most certainly want every marginalized person in this country dead if he could help it or the imbecile who doesn't care about war crimes because our allies are doing them and now with a clear view of suffering and death he just doesn't care. and one of them will be president in january and there's nothing we can do about that and you're all gonna have to accept that it's going to happen. which is why I think the only thing worth doing is supporting ourselves and our communities and other activists because the great revolution will not be coming. there will be a shit man in office.

Found this while going through my fanfic files, and i absolutely had to share.
Danny: i want in
Red robin: …what?
Danny: your bat family. I want in.
Red robin, blinking in surprise: i dont know what you think you know about my associates, but we're not-
Danny: dont be obtuse. I know youre the smart one. And i also know that your all one big relatively happy family. I want in.
Red robin: …why?
Danny: because you guys are the first people ive found that are wealthy, intelligent and powerful enough to take on my fruitloop godfather and win AND are decent enough human beings that i can be assured that when all is said and done, my well-being will remain a top priority.
Orphan, appearing out of nowhere: new brother!
Danny: *stares in shock*
Danny: *sudden uncanny grin* well that's one convinced. How do i win over the rest?
Orphan: no need. New brother!
Red robin: *pointed glance of betrayal* fine. Who is your godfather?
Danny: vlad masters. He's a fruitloop.
Red robin: for real? B's been investigating him for years! Tell me everything! *genuinely excited for a new lead*
Danny: well, he's tried to murder my dad and marry my mom, gained his wealth illegally, committed voting fraud to become the mayor of my hometown, has a secret underground lab where he does unethical experiments, and he's abducted me more than a dozen times even before my parents disowned me to make me his evil apprentice or whatever. Now that im homeless, he's literally out to get me. Oh! And he's cloned me too! She's cool though, we're buddies now.
Batman, who just arrived but heard everything over comms: hn. (Translation: who are you?)
Danny: my name is Danny. No last name anymore, but im hoping itll soon be Wayne! *winking suggestively*
Batman: hn? (how much do you know?)
Danny: enough to know that youre a much better alternative to vlad.
Batman: …hn (i dont know anything about you. What if youre a spy for vlad?)
Danny, giving his salesman pitch: i was a teen vigilante in amity park before i had to run away from home for my own safety. Vlad is one of my rogues. I know how to fight and defend myself, how to minimize collateral damage in a fight, and ive gotten really good and escaping kidnapping attempts. Ive also managed to reform and/or make allies out of approximately half of my rogues and can talk down about 30% of all rogue confrontations before they turn into a messy fight. The other things i can bring to the table are: one, i can teach all of you guys proper liminality self care; two, i can probably minimize and possibly cure red hood's anger issues; three, i can get along with stabby robin because i consider fighting a friendly social interaction - he can even stab me and i wont be injured by it; four, i can be your go-to guy for supernatural cases so you no longer have to deal with that sad trenchcoat man; five-
Red robin: *blurting* youre hired.
Batman: hn (i am deeply concerned)
Danny: if youre concerned now, wait until i tell you about the anti ecto control act
Nightwing, who showed up in the middle of the sales pitch: ive never seen anyone crack B's grunt language so quickly
Danny: grunt language? He's just using ghost speak - which will be covered by the liminality self care lessons
Robin, who arrived with batman: what is a liminal?
Danny: all of you, of course! Otherwise you wouldnt need to learn about it, obviously
Robin: and why would we trust you?
Danny: did i mention i have a pet ghost dog?
Robin: …you drive a hard bargain
Danny, fist pumping: yes! That's three!
Nightwing: four, you got me when you could understand B's grunting
Red Hood, arrived with nightwing: five, assuming you arent lying about the pit rage
Danny, hand to his chest: i would never!
Orphan: honesty. Earnest. New brother.
Oracle, over comms: six. The anti ecto acts are legit and im terrified for his safety, assuming he's phantom, who is the vigilante of amity park
Spoiler, arrived with orphan: seven, as long as youre down for a few pranks
Batman: hn (ive been outvoted)
Batman: hnn (i dont wanna hear any jokes about adoption habits when you all forced my hand)
Batman: hn (that said)
Batman: welcome to the family
Duke, the next day: man, i miss out on everything exciting.
Duke, blinded by danny: and who the fuck told bruce he could adopt the fucking sun?!

This post has reached the ‘leftist’ side of tumblr!!! Woo!! Let’s advocate for a revolution that will kill millions (which would most likely include myself!) to make ourselves seem like the perfect martyrs while actually having no concrete plans for a revolution besides ‘kill all morally bankrupt people’ which sounds exactly like fascism to me!
Every leftist talking about revolution plz gain some perspective.
Say we do have a revolution, ppl dead in the street, a civil war, and you, the lone heroes. Who do you think will be left behind? Because it won’t be conservatives, it’ll be those who you claim to be fighting for.
Disabled ppl, poor ppl, ppl in red states (many BIPOC and queer ppl), you don’t care about us. You will leave us to the wolves to have your revolution. You have no plan, no care for your fellow person.
Shut the fuck up and vote. Don’t do it for yourself, do it for everyone you say you want to help. Because that will actually help us.

republicans love to say things like "you havent heard abt anything student loan forgiveness until the election cycle bc dems rely on that vote uwu" like okay. YOU havent heard anything abt it because you havent been looking for it bc you didnt go to college and have to live w 100k of debt bc the fuck ups YOU vote for are the ones setting the fucking prices you bitch. -_- like ya i know dems suck ass and drag their feet on purpose but did you like conveniently forget the rest of the bs republicans have been trying to pass this year alone ?? girl the worst part is the dems are trying to placate you to see if youll vote for them bc your both that idiotic and they want ur fucking money

Can’t Help It - C.S
Tumblr media
sub!Chris, mommy kink (yall voted for it dont blame me)
NSFW BELOW, leave if you’re a minor
Aimlessly walking around the mall with Chris, I feel a tug on my arm and turn my head to a smirking Chris. I roll my eyes as I realize he’s leading me into a lingerie store.
“I’ll buy you something come on” He smirks.
I follow him inside, scanning around with my eyes. Knowing he likes red on me best I walk over to a red set.
“What about this one?” I ask.
“Mmm think we can find better” He hums.
I nod and continue looking, before Chris bring my attention to a different set.
“This one” He says.
“You think so? I’m not sure if that’ll fit properly” I reply.
“Try it on first then” He shrugs.
We make our way over to the change room, my hand dropping his as I made my way inside, going to shut the door before Chris shoved himself inside.
“Chris! What are you doing? There’s no way this is allowed” I whisper-shout.
“I’ll stay quiet, I just wanna see” He says innocently.
I sigh knowing there was not use fighting him on this, and hand him the set to hold while I undressed.
“Turn around” I said.
“What? Why?” He asks.
“So it’s a surprise idiot” I laugh.
“Fine” He huffs.
Once he’s turned around, i finish removing my clothes and grab the set out of his hands. Putting the set on, I look myself over in the mirror and debate if I like it or not but before I could make up my mind Chris speaks.
“You’re taking forever” He whines.
“Oh relax you can turn around” I reply.
I watch as he turns around and his eyes immediately scan their way down and then up my body. A smirk immediately forming on his face.
“Looks so good ‘ma” He says, his hands pulling me in by my waist.
“Think so?” I smile, questioning whether I could feel him growing hard or not.
“Mhm, one look and I’m already hard for you” He mumbles into my neck, his lips trailing down towards my cleavage.
I laugh quietly before replying, “Chris we can’t in here”
“We just gotta be quiet, can’t look this good and expect me not to need you” He says, his lips leaving kisses on my breasts as his hands make their way to my ass.
“Just wait till we’re home” I reply, despite turning down his offer a wetness started to form between my legs.
“Fuck it we’re leaving now then” He says stepping back from me.
My eyebrows furrow slightly before I nod and change back into my clothes. Chris doesn’t spare a glance at any employees or people on our way out, his eyes staying on the exit.
Getting into the car he leans over the console and connects our lips. A groan falling from his mouth as I tugged on his hair.
“If we don’t stop I’m gonna fuck you in the back” He says.
Arguing with myself on whether to give in or not, I smile before deciding making him wait would be better in the long run.
“Drive then” I reply.
He adjusts himself through his jeans before starting the car and beginning to drive home. I smirk before placing my hand over his dick. His eyes flickering over to me before returning back to the road. We stay silent as I palm him, glancing over at him and watching his hands grip the steering wheel tighter the longer I continued.
Pulling into the driveway, Chris doesn’t waste a second, getting out and walking up towards the door. Unlocking the door we both walk in, him leading us towards the bedroom.
Shutting the door behind us, he sits on the bed and pulls me between his legs. I push him down and straddle him, my hips immediately starting to grind on him. Our tongues fight for dominance as the make out session only becomes more intense.
“Need you so bad” He mumbles through this kiss.
“Take off your belt” I say.
He does as I say, undoubtedly thinking nothing of it. Once he has it off, he pulls his shirt off as well, I grab the belt from him, pushing his arms upwards and connecting his wrists before looping the belt around them and tying them to the headboard.
“What - what are you doing?” He asks.
“Trust me” I smirk.
My fingers trail their way down his stomach, my fingers toying with the hem of his jeans before unbuttoning them.
I pull down his jeans, his eyes filled with anticipation as my hand now moved to his boxers.
“Are you gonna be a good boy?” I question.
“Yes yes I promise” He quickly answers.
I nod before removing his boxers, his dick smacking against his stomach as I did. His hips buckle upwards as he watches me spit onto my hand, my hand wrapping around him and slowly moving up and down causing his hands to attempt to pull away from the headboard.
“Been so patient for mommy” I say, beginning to move my hand faster.
“I need - please” He stutters.
“Need what hm?” I ask.
“I need your mouth, I - please mommy?” He pleads.
I nod before bringing my head down, my tongue swirling around his tip. His hands once again trying to pull away from the headboard.
Lifting my head up, I look at him before saying, “Be a good boy if you want me to keep going”
“Okay yes I’m sorry” He says.
I continue swirling my tongue around his tip before lowering my mouth further onto him. Whimpers leaving his mouth as I began bobbing my head up and down.
“Feels so good mommy fuck” He whines, his hips thrusting every so often causing his dick to hit the back of my throat.
My hand stroking what couldn’t fit into my mouth, his whimpers grow louder.
“My hands, please I need to touch you” He moans out.
I ignore his request, bobbing my head faster and feeling his dick twitch in my mouth.
“Mommy - I’m gonna come” He whines.
“Not yet pretty boy” I respond, his jaw dropping slightly as I pulled myself away from him, “You haven’t made mommy feel good yet have you?”
His hands buckle again in response. His eyes on my body as I began removing my clothes. Once naked, I spread my legs and begin playing with myself as he watched.
“Let me” He whines, his eyes still glued on me, “I’ll make you feel good I promise”
“Yeah? You wanna make me feel good?” I ask, my motions stopping.
“Yes god I need to taste you” He responds.
I smirk at him before reaching over him and undoing the belt, his hands immediately grabbing my breasts and toying with my nipples.
I bit my lip to suppress a moan, my hand laced within his hair as he took each nipple into his mouth and swirled it around it.
“Prove to me how badly you need me” I say.
He lowers his hands as I lay on my back, tugging his arm slightly to telling him to move between my legs. He quickly moves himself between my legs.
“So pretty mommy” He says, his eyes flickering up to mine, “So wet”
“Don’t make me wait come on baby” I tell him, my hand moving to the back of his head and pushing slightly.
Without a second going by I feel his tongue licking up my pussy, causing a moan to leave my mouth. His tongue makes its way from my opening to my clit and he begins flicking it. My back arches in response to the increase of pleasure.
“Such a good boy for me” I moan, him humming in response causing vibrations to flow through me.
He continues flicking his tongue, circling it around my clit and sucking. My climax growing the closer the longer he did.
“Taste so good” He says.
“Don’t stop, make mommy come. Show me how good you are for me” I groan out.
He does as I said, my hands pulling his hair harder as I felt my high take over. My thighs closing around his head as pleasure radiated through me.
“Fuck so good” I moan.
Following my climax, I pull his body up towards mine, his eyes looking directly into mine.
“Please - let me fuck you please mommy. I need to be inside you” He asks.
“Better fuck me good pretty boy” I reply.
He aligns himself with my entrance, slowly pushing himself inside of me. A whimper falls from his lips as he begins thrusting himself in and out.
“So tight” He moans.
“Harder, you can do better than this” I demand.
“I - yes yes” He responds.
His pace grows faster, his hips now slamming against mine as his dick made contact with my g-spot with every thrust.
“Yes - just like that, making mommy feel so good” I moan, my head tilted back as I felt a knot forming in my stomach.
“I can’t last much longer” He whimpers.
“Been so good for me, let go baby” I moan, barely able to control my own body from the pleasure.
He eyes clench shut and he throws his head back as I feel him fill me up, the sweat on his forehead noticeable with the lighting as moans repeatedly fall from his mouth. The sight of him was enough to push me over the edge, my legs wrapping around him as my body once again was flowing with pleasure.
“Fuck you feel so good around me” He whines out, his thrusts becoming sloppy as his high died down.
I feel his eyes on me as my high comes to an end, his thrusts only stopping fully once he was sure I was finished. I pull his body against mine again, my hand thrown around his shoulders as I kissed him once, pulling away before speaking, “Seeing you beg is something I’ll never get tired of”
“Mmm can’t help it, you feel too good” He smiles back, “Next time I’m bending you over right in the change room”

I hope people in the OSC (and other fandoms in general) who are ok with or neutral about Kosa realize that not only will we lose a bunch of platforms that allow us to interact with each other (Tumblr, discord, Ao3, Wattpad, Twitter, YouTube, etc) but will also get rid of at least 80-95% of our fandom.
The OSC consists mostly of people between 13-17 who (if Kosa goes through the Senate and Houses of Representatives and gets passed as a law) will most likely no longer have access to YouTube and other social platforms which actively kills almost all the people who read and watch Object Shows!
By visiting and sharing animated shows like II or BFDI those creators make money which gives them the means to keep making their shows and paying their animators, voice actors, writers and so much more. This bill will actively get rid of most of the people who watch these shows which will cause a large loss in support and revenue for these creators and will most likely mean the end for any smaller object show.
Object show comics rely on people sharing them around in fandom spaces since they’re not animated and put on YouTube like animated object shows are. By losing these spaces and the people who support their content these creators will no longer be able to reach a large audience and get the support they need to continue their comics. This means that we will lose a lot of the comics that the OSC has!
Most of the content you see in the OSC is made by minors, which this bill will actively destroy and thus kill this fandom and many others!
So I am begging of you OSC and other communities, Please please please sign petitions, tell your senators and representatives that you don’t want this bill to pass, and tell anyone that you can reach about how this Bill is a violation of privacy and minors' rights! Re-blog anything you see with helpful information about what Kosa is and keep talking about it! We need to tell people about it so that this doesn’t go through the Senate. Remember, the final day is February 26, we don’t have that long!!!
Here’s some helpful resources:

Duke is a man of science and a man of questions. This leads him down many rabbit holes but most specifically printing out dozens upon dozens of business cards.
Gothamites are by and large, smart people, so not many people scan the little code even if it was put in their hands by Gotham's very own daytime hero. But it only takes a couple to get #SignalSurvey trending.
Duke doesn't find out (even though he has been trawling social media for days) until Babs shoots him a text in his Econ class (which is honestly a snoozefest anyway).
Sauron: I'll keep your secret.
Galadriel: dont u dare skew my data
Sauron: I would Never
Galadriel: yes u would
Sauron: little birdy has been a good boy so he may live.
-
Young people, who were reckless enough with their online safety (and knowledgeable enough to actually Use the thing) are the first to complete Duke's little experiment.
The answers start pouring in, with Red Hood well in the lead. The comments include things like "wet blanket" and "lame" which makes Duke laugh his whole ass off.
It's not until older internet savvy people get a hold of the link that the results become Fascinating. Nightwing begins to pull ahead, the comments are filled with: "please please less puns they're terrible" and "can't stand him but he's adorable so I forgive him".
Memorably: "Nightwing rescued me from a hostage situation one time. He talked the whole time and at the end I wanted to go back to my kidnappers. You're my hero Mr. Nightwing but Please."
Duke does actually get some votes for himself (included for sake of completeness) and he's not going to lie, shit hurts. Although some of the comments are just to the effect of "Bright :(", which does make him laugh.
There are plenty of votes for Batman (expected), Spoiler/Batgirl (expected but he's mad about it), the Robins (Fair), and a handful for Batgirl/Batgirl.
(Those seem to mostly be from goons complaining about her efficiency and how scary she is, Duke thinks they may have missed the point of the survey.)
-
At the end he compiles it all, gleefully makes a powerpoint, and bounds into Family Saturday Dinner™ with a ultra short throw projector and a dream.
The noise of the dining room doesn't dim even as Duke clears his throat, typical. It's when he starts speaking, clear and even, that people stop waging their personal wars.
"Most Annoying Bat, as voted by the people of Gotham," Duke anounces.
"A vote? By the people of Gotham?" Jason says, his voice strangled. "You mean the thing that killed me?"
"Number three: Batman."
It's here that all hell finally breaks loose.
