ULTIMATE SHIPS CHALLENGE - Defining Moments [1/3]

[sonicenvy]

Anyways I think one thing that is making me so hopeful about our ticket is that we have so much they don't have. We have hope, optimism, a belief in a better future, in love and kindness in the face of hatred, and we stuff to be for.

What do they have? They have hatred, fear, prejudice, chaos, destruction and division. They don't stand for things, only against. They stand against justice, against equality, against kindness, against everyone but themselves. Fascism can never sustain itself long term because all it has is hatred and fear, and once they "destroy" their enemies, that hatred and fear will get turned against their own people next. It's Ouroboros eating its tail, destroying itself. Fascism wants you to be afraid, wants you to believe that they are some kind of unstoppable force, something all powerful and inevitable. But they're not. They never will be. You can't build anything truly lasting on a government based on nothing but fear and hatred.

Dictators and fascists everywhere all across time and space have fallen, and always fallen in the end, because life, hope, and kindness can sprout back anywhere eventually. Life comes back even when the Earth has been scorched and razed. Every single fascist ever has inevitably been a loser. H*tler and the N*zis? Losers. Fr*nco? Loser. M*ssolini? Loser.

When we laugh at them, make fun of them, and call them weird they hate it. I think they hate it because it breaks their narrative where they're all-powerful, inevitable and unbeatable. It contradicts their narrative that says that their ideas of hatred, fear, and intolerance are what the average, normal person believes, and that everyone secretly is with them. Ultimately they're ridiculous, weak, losers who don't represent the average person and they hate when we put this message out there. The "weird" attack has been so successful thus far because of this, because it's everyone saying loud and clear, "fuck you, you don't represent me and my community." Under the constitution they have the right to say what they want without government interference, but equally the rest of us have the right not to listen to them and to tell them to fuck off.

Adjacently, something that we've seen in the archeological evidence of prehistory is that caring for each other and for members of our society with disabilities is a fundamental part of the history of humanity. It's something that they've also seen in Neanderthals. As much as war and violence have long been a part of human history, so have care and kindness. I think that that pushes back against a lot of narratives about the humans of prehistory where they're nothing but violent and everything had to be reciprocal, and where people with disabilities would be left to die.

idk, just having a lot of feelings and thoughts about kindness and the hope for a better future. To quote one of the Harris campaign ads, "we believe in a country where people aren't just getting by, they're getting ahead."

I think that we can do this, that we can beat these weird, creepy, losers and their ideology of hatred that represents none of us.

My bike wouldn't start yesterday and it was SUCH a perfect day to ride :( it's not the battery/fuses/clutch switch, don't thinkkkk it's the side stand switch/deadcut/ignition button. I rode it 8 weeks ago and it was perfectly fine but I'm having trouble getting it into gear so I couldn't even bump start it after pushing it all the way to the top of the hill :( lol just me on my walk with my 125kg bike.

RK shippers: hate and avoid RJ & JK & RJK shippers

JK shippers: hate and avoid RJ & RK & RJK shippers

me, a RJ shipper and RJK supporter, rolling my eyes at those named shippers on the above and sometimes at canon: anyway

tedtrent & tedbeard shippers watching all of this unfolding, just wishing their little funky guys kiss already: (crickets chirping in a deep silence of the night)

me, joining them: exactly.

3x12 should air already so i can watch it and stay in my own comfy corner with no speculations about it.

This is why I never get anything written.

I legit just wasted prolly a half hour 1) trying to see if there are any named rivers in Wutai. There aren't but one of the major landmarks/maps are based off of a Buddhist Monastery in Mongolia.

So I go looking for rivers in that region to kinda....snag a vaguely authentic sounding river name and wiki is pretty much only listing the Yellow River and then I proceeded to go down a rabbit hole about the three different major linguistic names for that. Mainly I found the Tibetan and Mongolian versions of the name kinda which has different alphabets and what have you.

Long story short, it took me 30 minutes to come up with a probably throw-away river name in this fic. Though at this point I'm so invested in this river name I might have to incorporate it more fully into the fic.

You know, with the amount I've thought about Alex Yiik and that fucking game I could probably draw him pretty well...

I'm going to resist the urge to find out before I get led down a terrible path and end up making Essentia x Vella smut
