[nerdylilpeebee]

So i been seeing your post recently and...well.....do you not think whats hapening in palestine is a genocide?

No, I don't.

Firstly, the numbers of how many have died comes from Hamas. And I refuse to believe they can name every dead kid but can't name how many hostages are alive. And even if we humor the idea they're telling the truth, 30k is an INCREDIBLY small number in terms of conflicts like this and most likely includes Hamas fighters, who are dressed as civilians and of whom Hamas does not differentiate when counting these numbers, so the civilian death toll is far more likely to be around 15k, and that's a generous high-roll. It's also not really possible they'd mostly be women and children. Cuz if they were, this would mean either every man in Gaza is a Hamas fighter (unlikely) or most men in Gaza has somehow avoided death. An incredibly unlikely option, especially given Pro-Pals insistence that Israel is "carpet bombing" Gaza. If you're carpet bombing an area, it's not possible that adult men could almost all avoid death. XD that's just not possible.

Secondly, Hamas has been proven to be lying. They lied about Israel bombing a hospital pretty early (they claimed Israel bombed the hospital and 500 people died, but in truth, one of their missile misfired and hit the parking lot of the hospital they claim was hit), and ever since I have either seen multiple lies from Hamas or Pro-Pals claiming this building or that was destroyed, but a quick Google search of the building either provided oodles of proof it was not destroyed or that it wasn't even in fucking Gaza. I refuse to believe the side lying their asses off will be accurate when calling something a genocide. This doesn't mean I think Israel has never lied, but they have not engaged in nearly the same level of manipulation that Hamas and the Pro-Pal side have.

Thirdly, Hamas has been launching unguided missiles into Israel for over 20 years. This necessitated the Iron Dome, and Israel in the areas that were bombed even has alarms in every neighborhood and a bomb shelter in every house. Even so they have killed thousands over the years in this campaign of slaughter. They then capped this off with October 7th, a terror attack that claimed almost exclusively civilian lives. They raped, butchered, and even recorded themselves doing these things (which is of course ignored by Pro-Pals). They had journalists involved who warned no one and even posed with Hamas leaders and took pictures of themselves with grenades. Apparently there were even members of the UNRWA involved, tho I haven't seen full proof of that bit yet. This was a terror attack that killed 1400 people, innocent people who were just taking part in a music festival. Then they kidnapped over 230 more innocent people, all civilians, many of which weren't even Israeli's, and while yes they gave SOME back during the ceasefire for hostage exchange, they kept a lot of infants (yes, INFANTS) they took, separating them from their mothers, and didn't give back all the hostages, rejecting the offer to keep the ceasefire going in exchange for them all. And now, they won't even name how many as still alive!

And after this terror attack they retreated to Gaza, even taking some corpses of the people they killed, and went into underground tunnels so any reprise against them would hit innocent civilians. They even said on live TV that they view Gaza as a country of martyrs they're happy to sacrifice. And yet despite all of that, we get to point 4.

Fourthly, Israel warns people before attacking. This is unprecedented. Militaries the world over call it a stupid move, cuz tactics-wise, it is very fucking stupid since inevitably Hamas gets the warnings too. But Israel does it anyway in an attempt to prevent civilian deaths, with Hamas refusing to let a lot of the civilians evacuate so they don't die. And the ones that did? They followed them to Rafah, bringing hostages with them, making Rafah, by law, a military target.

Fifthly, Hamas steals the aid that gets in, Palestinians have even testified to this, forcing Gazan civilians to starve and get desperate. The most recent consequence of this is the "flour massacre" in which starving Gazans swarmed an aid truck, and the aid workers inside ran a lot of them over in a bid to escape. Pro-Pals of course spread the lie that Israel butchered them all.

And finally point 6, having to do with the hostages: Hamas lies about the hostages. They claim they're treated well, even forged a thank you letter. But one interview with a released hostage demonstrates that this is a blatant lie, the family of the hostage the letter was from even said it was a lie!

I refuse to believe a genocide is happening when all of this is true. People facing genocide don't engage in this level of manipulation. They don't take innocents hostage, rape them and kill their families and neighbors.

Yeah, Gaza military-wise is weak compared to Israel. And their government has no interest in protecting them whatsoever. But one side being weak does not make a war a genocide. One side's government choosing to hide in underground tunnels, launch missiles from civilian buildings, hide weapons and hostages in hospitals, schools, and children's bedrooms does not make it a genocide.

What is happening is awful and it needs to stop. but it's a war, not a genocide.

[positivementalaxolotl]

In the US, if someone commits the most HEINOUS crime you can think of, they almost always get to live their lives. The death penalty is not only INCREDIBLY controversial, but also almost never actually used. Since the 80's it's averages about 50-ish people per year, and the last several years has been closer to 20-ish. Remember- this is out of the approx. 1440 (in 2018 according to Pew Research Center on the analysis of the federal judiciary) yearly that are convicted of a crime (Please also keep in mind that of the calls made about a crime only 2% of them actually make it to court, but of that 2%, 90% are found guilty.) People who are given the death penalty are less than 2% of the less than 2% convicted of a crime (No that was NOT a typo) When we put people in jail, we do so in hopes that they will become better people. (Or at least that's what we're being told the reason they are is) People who do bad things CAN turn themselves around. They just need to be given the resources to do so.

So why in the hell is the fucking USA saying that killing 3 times the amount of people deemed as okay? Not only killing, but without a proper jury and fair trial? Why in such a HORRIFIC way? Bombs? Mass Shootings? Stopping resources at the gates? This is absolutely NOT what the US should be standing for: We are suppose to be working under the belief that EVERYONE deserves a fair trial, regardless of any beliefs, evidence, or witnesses at the crime scene at the time of the crime. Even if a thousand people saw the murder of a man in person without the ability to hurt anyone else, that murderer would be given a fair trial. There are tens of thousands of people being murdered in Palestine. Why are more CHILDREN dying than the alleged original attack against Israel? Why are men with no evidence of affiliation with any terrorists being ripped away from their families and used as human meat shields? Why are so many people being starved, dehydrated, bombed, shot, and displaced instead of being brought to a fair court room? Israel got the rights to a fair hearing, yet their victims have not.

This is all also assuming that everyone in Palestine is guilty! The VAST majority of people in Palestine are not terrorists. The majority of the deaths in Palestine have been children, that's more children specifically that are recorded dead than Israel has claimed died during the attacks in early October. There is no possible way that the infants, toddlers, and young children that have died could have been a guilty member of a terrorist group. They would be victims as well, not deserving of being killed. And yet here we are.

I cannot express my deep sorrow for those in Palestine. I cannot even begin to imagine what it's like being displaced, starved, and bombed as I watch my loved ones pass away and kidnapped. However, I hope I'm able to convey my hope. My belief that everyone in Palestine will be free. Please, contact whoever you can in the US. I don't care if it's only your neighbor, a representative, or Genocide Joe himself. Please Free Palestine.

my OC girl_Ghost (singular)

click readmore for info on the character, if you want

The text here is WRONG it's girl_Ghost

girl_Ghost is an overpowered entity that can take "overwrite" the "spirit" of anything and living organism and control and modify them as she pleases. every being drawn in the image is her, but they weren't always her. of course, in some cases she tries to create bodies for herself to the point that it's almost like they always were her but in most cases she finds subjects.

if the subjects are alive, she "kills" them by completing erasing their spirit in an instaneous, painless and unnoticeable way. then she will take their "bodies" and become them. then she tries to be them until she feels that that it doesn't fit her. after that, she will take the body away to her dimension because once she starts taking control of a body of thing she cannot leave it. she lives in millions of bodies simultaneously, due to this.

because the effects it may have in society, she erases every trace of the body or thing's influences. that is to say once she stops trying to be a person, for example, she will erase all memories and records of that person ever existing in case it causes unmanageable troubles. she doesn't create a blue glowing effect immediately after taking a subject to become. of course she doesn't do that all the time. how else could she be them without others noticing a difference? (although in some cases where she doesn't want to take a body she will do the glow right away if she wants to fuck with someone)

either way. girl_Ghost wants to find the perfect physical identity. she can never get it right. she went from small infants to scientists to cats to boats to buildings to books to zombies to horrific lab experiments. but eventually it would always be wrong.

luckily, she has many hobbies that are unrelated to this seemingly unachievable she has devoted her entire existence and unfolding to. she likes playing and fucking around with people and things she doesn't want to take, sometimes. sometimes she plays around in a way that seems helpful and empathetic. unfortunately, she doesn't understand human feelings and behaviour very well. she knows pleasure and pain (especially physical), but other lives and experiences seems to interfere when she tries to be 1 thing. that's why, for a lot of the times she had to take living bodies to her dimension it's because she has revealed one way or another to the family and friends that the girl they're talking with is not the girl they knew. she blames her clumsiness.

she has a no idea of what she started off as. maybe the first thing she was was a person, or some other thing. she forgot. sometimes she would stumble across a memory that feels like something long long ago, but she can't ever be sure. they all mix together. she can only pretend.

another thing you might have noticed is how despite the uncertainty girl_Ghost has with her identity, she seems to be positive about her gender. so yes, she almost exclusively takes objects that seems feminine to her in one way or another. bodies are a little harder to say. i don't know how she would do it as she doesn't exactly have ways to read people's minds without taking their bodies,but the idea is that she will take bodies based on the original spirit's gender identity. so yes trans women but not binary men.

More Than Meets the Eye #49 — Guys, This One Was Kinda Fucked Up

Sunder’s got his magic eyes in and is currently eating Skids’s brain. Not to worry though, because Dr. Rung of the Pious Pools, PhD, psy-op specialist and master of stick-fu, who goads people into shooting infants and also himself, is handling the situation.

Well, thank god we’re minding our Ps and Qs with the literal serial killer.

Sunder, of course, doesn’t see why Rung’s so upset, as he believes himself to be doing Skids a favor by unearthing his repressed memories. Honestly, I think if he’d asked first, Skids would’ve been all for it. Maybe not the cannibalism aspect of this activity, but the unearthing for sure.

Hopping back into those memories, we skip forward a bit, as Tarn comes in to check on Skids’s progress for fixing the teleport machine. He transforms, because we need to reiterate that he really fucking loves transforming. Snare is also here. You remember Snare? The man who’s never seen his feet? He’s here too. Weird that he keeps finding himself dealing with the worst of the Decepticon upper command.

Anyway, Skids and Tarn have worked out a little deal, where Skids fixes Grindcore’s teleporters, in exchange for the release of fifty Autobot prisoners. If Skids doesn’t manage to do it, Tarn will kill 500 prisoners as punishment. Which is sort of like decimation, with deci- times the slaughter. Luckily, Skids is god’s favorite little man, and Tarn seems aware of it, as he congratulates him on a job well done. Then he throws him back in his cell, where Quark is waiting to make fun of him for smiling like a doofus over having gotten in Tarn’s good graces.

Quark doesn’t trust Tarn to keep his word, and thinks that Skids is a fucking moron for having faith in the guy with all this power over their lives. Skids admits that while Tarn probably isn’t going to keep his word, it’s still better that their mass teleportation machine is working again, so that prisoners can at least be transported to do slave labor on other planets, where they’ll need to be fed and kept alive, unlike Grindcore.

That’s when the radio cuts on, playing a song that would one day become infamous for its implications— The Empyrean Suite.

...But I’m sure it’s fiiiiiiine!

Back in the present, Froid’s unlocking Sunder’s cell and taking off his handcuffs, just in time for the flamebots to show back up and tell him to cut that shit out. Sunder, of course, does his thing, and Rung and Skids watch in horror as something super gross happens off-panel, complete with wet, squishy SFX. Rung also transmits something via his recorder thumb, likely a warning to the others on the ship. But we won’t know for sure for a bit, because now we’re jumping forward in time.

Over in the maximum security section of the Lost Light’s brig, we finally see Mr. Pugface Charisma himself, strung up and restrained in a way reminiscent of how Alternate Rung was in the epilogue of the “Elegant Chaos” storyline, but decidedly hornier. Tailgate zips by on his hoverboard, apparently having woken up at some point. Seems like he’s doing fine, though, so I’m not too worried about how long he slept.

Tailgate isn’t thrilled to have run into Getaway, and is even more displeased when Getaway refuses to speak to him about what exactly is happening; everything is dark, everyone else has disappeared, someone’s graffitied the walls, and there’s a bunch of greebled orbs laying around.

Tailgate shows Getaway Cyclonus’s vial of innermost energon that he left by his bedside (aw, he does love him!), then tells Getaway to go fuck himself, punching the steel plate door to his cell and shattering the windows as he does. Of course, Getaway genuinely does have a reason for not speaking to Tailgate, so it’s not like he’s being intentionally petty.

Now who was the sadistic little bastard who decided that he needed his limbs off and voice taken away? This is some freak shit right here, this is borderline fetish material.

Tailgate goes to investigate one of the weird greeble orbs, and Rung, Skids, and Froid show up just in time to warn him not to touch it, as it’s actually one of the crew members, having been turned inside out, thanks to Sunder making them think that’s what shape they need to be. It’s fucked up. This is a fucked up storyline. Tailgate’s most worried about Cyclonus though, as should be clear by his vial lanyard. He grabs Rung by the arm and demands to know where his not-boyfriend is.

It turns out that after Megatron heard that a guy with eyeballs that make you turn into a bowl of haggis was loose onboard the ship, he turned the lights out and had everyone lock themselves in their rooms. So Cyclonus is probably in habsuite 14, staring out the window, which he was probably going to do anyway. Very little about today is switching up his standard routine.

Rung and company aren’t locked up because they’re looking for Chromedome, so he can put Skids’s memories into the proper lockbox in his head, seeing as he’s gonna die if he recalls them too fast. Rung’s also out here to yell at Froid, because he can’t fucking believe he’d go and get close to a guy who’s got Megatron turning out the lights and hiding. Froid, however, swears his motives are purely professional.

Skids starts groaning again, which means that Sunder is nearby, and sure enough, the brain goblin comes ‘round the corner not a moment later.

In the flashback, Tarn is congratulating Skids on a job well done, then shows him proof of the fifty prisoners having been let out of Grindcore, now roaming around in the Manganese Mountains. Because the last time Roberts had robots holed up in the mountains, it worked out so very well for everyone.

Skids tries to sweeten the deal for next time, but Tarn says that he’s no longer useful to have around, since he’s an Autobot, and Snare watched him do all the stuff that fixed the teleporters. However, Tarn would be loathe to let Skids’s good deed go unpunished.

Don’t worry about the corpses in the background; they’re part of the decor.

Skids, however, is a selfless little man, and he has the bright idea to ask if he can give his free ride to someone else.

Back in the present, Froid is trying to run away from the monster he helped create, and it gets him about as far as you’d expect, as he explodes into a beautiful spaghetti flower and then orbs up. It looks like Rung, Skids, and Tailgate are next, but luckily there’s still a hero left to save the day.

Careful now, Tailgate, you’re a (possibly(accidentally)) married man!

Thunderclash and Megatron chase after Sunder, taking a moment to note that one of the balls in this corridor is Rodimus, while Chromedome sticks his fingers in the holes in Skids’s compartmentalization. Rung and Tailgate also run off to face Sunder, Rung claiming to have an ace up his sleeve.

Megatron and Thunderclash catch up to Sunder in the shuttle bay as he’s entering his ship, which makes Megatron remember something very important: Septre was a fucking ship.

Honestly, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

Thunderclash isn’t concerned with Sunder now being the size of a McMansion, claiming that he must be scared, considering he’s stopped using his black speech bubbles. Apparently those were meant to convey a “Mortilus impersonation”. Why they know what their gods are supposed to sound like isn’t addressed.

Sunder makes a speech about being too hardcore to be afraid of death, because he’s a mnemosurgeon and eats memories and flies around in his brother’s corpse. Then he orbs Thunderclash, husband of millions, thus officially barring himself from the kingdom of heaven. This is the point where Rung attacks him with his fleet of model ships, which are apparently also RC planes. This plan only works for a moment, because, again, Sunder is currently the size of a house.

Megatron, having been knocked down in the direction of the fusion cannon Thunderclash had been wearing, is in the perfect position to strap it on and blow this giant hungry bitch away. However, he probably knows that if he resorts to violence, Rodimus will take away his Rodimus Star for abandoning his evil ways. Tailgate, no doubt frustrated by Megatron trying to talk down the guy who keeps haggising the crew, takes matters into his own hands.

No, he couldn’t do that before. Tailgate himself isn’t sure why exactly he can suddenly pick up midlife crisis purchases and hurl them with enough force to incapacitate serial killers. We’ll have to get Velocity on this, since she’s the only doctor left on the ship.

Because Rung is resigning.

When Rung sent that recording of Froid and his conversation, as a way to warn Megatron of the danger on the ship, it also included their little argument over being “too close” to patients, and Rung’s delicensing. Knowing that more than one other person is privy to his crimes, Rung’s decided to beat things to the punch and retire, as if the Lost Light could afford to lose their mental health specialist, even if he does suck absolute dick. Megatron seems to see it that way, anyhow, suggesting that Rung still tell his patients about not being licensed, but let them decide if they still want to see him anyway.

Rung calls him a stupid fuck in the most polite way possible, then leaves, just as Rodimus is arriving. Megatron makes a pun, then we get the skinny on what’s going on with Tailgate. As best as Velocity can figure, the background radiation caused by quantum travel, combined with being stressed the fuck out by Cyclonus being shot and seemingly killed in front of him, caused his spark to evolve. Which is a much better deal than what I’d assume that sort of thing would do for a human being. I figure that’d be a heart attack situation.

Rodimus wants to know what happened with Sunder in the shuttle bay, and why Megatron tried to talk him down instead of firing. Megatron’s figured that he’s tried the way of violence for the last several million years, and he’s really trying to be better than that now, even if it gets people hurt. He’s a pacifist now. Which sucks, because it’s probably going to bite both him and those around him in the ass later, and also he’ll never be Vash the Stampede, so he really shouldn’t even bother trying.

Getting back to the flashback (sort of, anyway; Skids isn’t remembering this next part, it’s more for us as the readers to get closure) Quark’s queued up for the teleporter, having been given Skids’s spot. He’s gonna be doing hard labor on “New Tarn”. Skids is also here, having apparently touched Tarn’s cold, dead heart with his kindness. Everyone loads up into the teleporter, and it looks like everything’s gonna be just fine!

I said EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE JUST FINE.

The music comes on, significantly louder in this chamber, and Skids is suddenly teleported out and away, Quark screaming for him as he disappears. He arrives in Tarn’s office, where he’s leaning on his desk and drinking out of his fancy little decanter, waiting for the show to start. Skids knows by this point that the machine he was sent to fix was in actuality a smelter, and Tarn explains that they need that fancy shmancy sentio metallico to build bodies for their upcoming MTO forces. Then he drags Skids over to the window and melts the belief in a loving god out of his head.

And that’s a series wrap on Quark! Let’s give him a hand, folks!

...Nobody tell Brainstorm about this.

mommy issues!JK

nara looks at jungkook confused.

“shut up. what are you in here for? and quit talking about my medication. quit acting like you give a fuck about me”

it’s true. nara’s father has never liked jungkook, especially her mother. despite them being close with the jeon’s there was something about jungkook that seemed off. once the jang’s caught wind of jungkook’s mistake, they signed the official documents to cease any ties with the jeon’s in case his secret became public.

thankfully, it never happened but jungkook was disowned by his family and left to raise his infant child on his own. when nara heard he was working for a banking company, she hired someone to track jungkook’s records which led her to becoming the CEO of his company after begging her father to buy it.

when she laid eyes on jungkook, she couldn’t believe it was really him. he wasn’t the same scrawny kid she was engaged to. he was a man, a grown man. his body was lean, built, and his face, despite still looking baby-like, had matured as well. someone who looked like him by her side would surely turn heads and her theory was proven correct at the charity ball.

both of their faces were plastered all over the media and some news outlets labeled them ‘korea’s best looking couple.’ putting fame aside, she still wanted jungkook. she knew she could treat him better than anyone ever has no matter what her family would say.

but then there’s you.

you who was obviously not interested in jungkook at the charity event. you who was obviously using him. you who stole his heart before she was given a fair chance.

nara will always hate ever fiber of your being. you don’t deserve him and you’ll never understand him like she can. you’re just a pretty face with a smoking body, that’s it. but nara knows she’s prettier, she’s hotter, and more deserving of jungkook than you. he just doesn’t see it. he just doesn’t know it.

“you won’t be telling my father anything, jungkook. this is between me and you. you fucked up when you went against my orders and kissed that bitch. it’s all YOUR fault” nara exclaims as she sets her pen and paper down and gets closer to jungkook.

“i dare you to tell my parents because if you do, i’ll tell your father and mother about your whereabouts. i’ll tell them you lied to your son about his mother and i’ll tell y/n that you killed—,”

before nara could finish her venomous sentence, she hears loud bangs coming from outside her window.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

nara goes to her window to inspect what’s going on outside and what she sees has her heart sinking into her stomach: you. with a metal bat. her rolls royce. “WHAT THE FUCK?!!! THAT’S MY CAR!!!” yells nara. she pushes past jungkook and leaves the office in a hurry.

“duuuudeee!!! is that y/n?” gasps eunwoo who was quite surprised to see you vandalizing; demolishing her expensive vehicle.

the windows are shattered, the paint is scratched, you sliced her tires, and you even fucked up the interior of her car. the cherry on top? white spray paint that reads: NARA IS A WHORE.

“YOU BITCH!!!!”

“come near my workplace again and your car won’t be the only thing i fuck up. it’ll be you next”

~🫧

This is so embarrassing and all of this is escalating way too fast for his liking. He didn’t expect you coming to his workplace.

But this is what she deserves. She had no right to embarrass you like that, it’s about time that someone puts her in her place.

“Y-Yn- come with me.” Jungkook tries to approach you but you look really scary right now, Jungkook walks past Nara and grabs your hand.

“You shouldn’t have taken it to such a cheap level. Fucking cheap!” Jungkook glares at Nara because she started this.

Eunwoo winks at the both of you, as he greets you. “Hi yn… honestly I like you a lot.” He says, giving you his approval.

Nara is busy glaring at the three of you. Jungkook takes you to the parking lot because if he took you into the office, Nara will cause a whole fucking scene and he cannot afford more drama right now

“OK calm down she deserved it. I’m so proud of you.” Jungkook takes you to the side, Nara is a bitch.

You don’t look like the type to invite drama but you won’t hesitate to finish it.

But as he’s talking to you, he sees Nara glaring at you, rushing towards you both.

Oh no.

[obiwon-shenobi]

The funniest (laugh else you go crazy haha) thing about Azulon and The Phoenix King of Getting His Butt Whooped™️ is that… they just thought the avatar was dead?

Yall assumed by massacring ALL the airbenders “fixed” your avatar problem? Did it not dawn on them when they weren’t reborn that perhaps, just maybe, the fire nation FAILED its mission?

“But what if the cycle was broken—” you heard useless ass Roku, gotta be in the avatar state to kill Raava. Or as Korra demonstrated—Raava pulled from you.

At no point did it mention killing an infant baby or young child human as ways to break the cycle.

Bigotry makes you forget the avatar is an ever occurring phenomenon. Cuz why did they assume “no airbenders? No avatar!”

Yes ofc they took northern water tribespeople, but not for the expressed purpose of avatar farming.

N the earth kingdom??!! lol. Took em this long to get in, and earth avatar would have BEEN fucking their shit up depending on where they were raised (BSS? No. Omashu? Likely!)

They knew they could go after the air nation, no army, no military strategists, Kelsang the only air bender recorded up till now with the chops to save the air nation. An air avatar? Bet, like screaming mountain lions—a false sense of security washes over the fire nation. 100 years?! Yeah! We MURKED that ever-lasting-

I bet the fire lord was not expecting a 12 year old boy to lay waste to his empire off pure shenanigans and vibes alone.

Bigotry makes you forget the avatar is an ever occurring phenomenon. Cuz why did they assume “no airbenders? No avatar!”

If I were Zuko, like truly, the way I’d defect—like you got me out here searching for a DEAD person? 100 years n you want ME TO FIND HIM?! You must have lost your goddamn mind.

I mean look at Iroh, he treated that shit like a vacation 😂

Gahhhhhhhleeeeeeeee, searching for a 100 year old corpse?

Yeah war over, killed my own genocidal father with my own two hands. No, not for glory, cuz he told me earn my honor back via mythological creature. The abuse is crazy but you’re sending me on a wild goose—I hope you n Azulon are kekeing it down in hell, whew bitch. The mf avatar.

This was way longer than intended, but my black ass gotta lot of feelings about Zuko being tasked with finding a 100 year old man with an unconfirmed living status. 😭 woulda been my last straw.

[yther]

I'm honestly terrified if I speak out he'll try to really get me with the suicide bait and even literally kill me with his own handgun out of desperation. I do not want to be on dateline true crime documentary. I really really really don't.

But if he can read my drafts/my hacked devices maybe he'll panic and try to make me a "missing person" before I name him in court.

btw that's why I am "relatively" unbothered by you bigots-in-arms paid off by the golden boy o' 666 club. (feet, inches, income figures)

it is my fault for not recognizing the lies and the scummy undertow that he is effortless at concealing. okay. yeah. I stayed with someone after they hurt me so that means it doesn't count.

But I'm scared. I don't know what he'll do if I actually try to defend myself.

Escaping him = he sent a lynch mob after me out of spite and jealousy because I wasn't totally isolated and dependent on him. I had my own life! and hobbies, like twitch. he was jealous despite saying he wanted me to just live my life on my own and not to stay up waiting for him. I had online friends, cool ones! I made potential connections when we were not together and he had left me for dead bcuz too busy for horny anyway. and he just needed a dependable warm hole to fuck that would be waiting in an empty fucking apartment while he was spending most nights in hotels or with the flight crew pads, definitely fucking someone else.

& You know what he did.... to me. The "consequences", classic family annihilator you can't leave me and survive thing, for having friends and then feelings and experiences beyond him after we broke up. He couldn't handle rejection. What do you think he will do if I even try to come forward? This man would kill a boat full of infants to stay on track for that next juicy contract.

jfc. if I even post this will he try to get out in front and silence me before I can press charges? I honestly don't know.

blood.

blood on your hands / help I'm fucking terrified

p.s. if he gave you money I sure hope those financial records don't prove conspiracy (spoiler: the bank records TOTES WILL yay timeline!)

I know I'm a dead person walking just to type this but he may get me before I talk if this keeps going and he knows that I know everything.

So. Anyway,

I hope my fucking murder/disappearance is cute entertainment for you? if you were involved. idk. Just wow, yeah.

fuck. fuck. I need to grow a spine, shame you assholes held me fucking hostage and stalked and harassed me after He!!! conspired to do all this and slander my name and violate my privacy even further! go purity police and all those complicit! (fuck yourselves, honestly. whatever your intentions ever were,)

[whoslaurapalmer]

lulu watches doctor who; a good man goes to war/let’s kill hitler

well those episodes.........happened

-moffat ONCE AGAIN pulling the bait and switch with amy sounding like she's talking about the doctor but really talking about rory -although okay i'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt for a hot moment here and wonder, does that wind up saying anything, about the person rory is, about the person rory might be becoming, if rory is becoming anything? is rory........like all companions, to some extent, becoming like the doctor, or a being that is, better than the doctor, in a way -the emphasis on taking the name the last centurion again, too, on the doctor making him take up the name as like, a mantle -also, rory being a nurse (also, moffat, do you???? do you even remember rory is a nurse?) -jury is still out on this one for now cats

-well there is also the fact that the ‘good man’ in the title is assumed to be the doctor, when it’s not. the doctor says as much, that he has too many rules to be a good man. the good man is rory, really, right?

-the doctor blowing up the cybermen to make a point!! wahoo ~ -you know what. by the way. it's not that i hate the cybermen but that i........personally find the cybermen the most disconcerting of who villains. they make me the most uncomfortable

- "do not interact with headless monks without divine permission" is, i must admit, just a really fucking hilarious line -of course they were headless!!! did not expect the little like. twisty tie trash bag necks but that was an added horror bonus

-yes it's very clear the thin fat gay married anglican marines will not end well. very clear. this is moffat. i'm exhausted -you don’t even give them names. and then. turn one of them into a headless monk who is never heard from again. wow what a great job.

-oh this is where jenny and vastra and strax come in -wait so strax is just dead now?????? just like that????? damn -he comes back, though. i mean, i guess that’s, before he dies........but he comes back, i guess

-heyyyyy dorium with a head!! i didn't know dorium's head was once attached. -.........where else would it have been, though, now that i think about it. -apparently! i just assumed dorium was always a head

- "those aren't stories, they're true." about people telling stories about the doctor -okay you know what. i think i might actually let moffat go on this one. i do actually like the emphasis on the doctor not only having a history -- not only being able to call in debts across the universe (and dorium saying to pity those he'd call on) -- but that history being acknowledged as dangerous, the doctor being dangerous and knowing themselves to be a sizeable, powerful threat, especially after the things ten did, especially seeing that in eleven -what i don't like is moffat's occasional leaning into 'don't you know who i am' sort of territory bc he did that with ten too and i'm. eh about it. i don't care much for the braggadocious take, i think sometimes it leans as moffat making the doctor proud of or confident in that kind of record because it happens so often, when the doctor is anything but, but i will let it go because i think the overall vibe of it is good, in eleven being the doctor that like. embraces the threat the doctor brings. purposely, inadvertently. not super taking pride in it unless the doctor can use it for themselves, for what the doctor wants -because again eleven's priority over everything else is always always always amy

-the....."big milk thing" line -just like. fucking unnecessary. it's not. at all. i'm like. ugggg -the GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY to sexualize amy from the perception of an infant. you think all babies only look at their mothers in terms of food. like it’s just a low joke. why go for it -especially bc. realistically how much time has baby!melody spent with amy to even have that association with her -but either way!!!!!!!!! amy is more than that!!!!!!!!!!!!

-the doctor -having a cot -the cot. the doctor's cot. -yep that's a thing on the tardis that's a thing the doctor has carried around this whole entire time that was the doctor's that's from gallifrey -:') -THE 'THAT'S THE DOCTOR'S COT!' OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO I EVEN NEED TO KEEP GOING

-me, earlier: so was amy yoinked like.......in the three month gap between impossible astronaut/day of the moon eleven: she must've been taken just before america me: WHEN????? WHEN DID THAT HAVE THE TIME TO HAPPEN. MY GOD BUT WHEN -if we had just seen............something. anything. the hint of a something. to make that possible. plausible. to make me go 'yeah okay i'll dig it instead of just moffat throwing things around.’

-"why would a time lord be a weapon?" "well, they've seen you." "me?" -just, the absolute, abject misery in "me?" -the doctor is aware of it until the doctor is confronted with it and then they're like :( why would you say that :( -it’s different, when someone says what you think of yourself deep down out loud, what you try not to think

-oh i will say i liked the.....implication that time lords Happened from being around the time vortex. i don't know i thought that was fine

-amy knowing that it wasn't necessarily the doctor's fault that melody was yoinked but also being. so upset with him anyway. somebody to be upset at. knowing he doesn't deserve it and then not having anywhere to put it. still being angry -but it also being his fault, definitely. a little. by virtue of being such a threat that this chain of events came to happen. that eleven and the doctor's actions did finally truly once and for all affect amy in a way that's not going to be changed when eleven has done every single thing and every single terrible thing for amy -i love when amy gets to be angry when amy gets to be terrible and selfish (in like. a way that matters more than usual. more than just her regular snappy personality)

-"they're always brave." oh that's gonna hurt when face the raven comes up. mmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMM M M M M

-ohhhh i love eleven being angry at river. i also love eleven being angry. i love love love eleven's anger, when it's not eleven's controlled anger, when it's the doctor of eleven (ish? thereabouts?) long long lifetimes falling apart -"but you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean?" yes indeed though -although yes i am aware that too is building up to the day of the doctor in a way.....................regretfully...................

-tadaaaaaaa. the river reveal. -wahoo. (a much less enthusiastic wahoo than earlier) -i mean, it's just........like............................... -i don't like it. i don't think it's needed. i think it just makes things more convoluted instead of like. tying things together -not that doctor who is ever the pinnacle of truly tying things together in a neat lil bow but i feel like it's just. making it more twisty than it needed to be -the, like. having a child raised to kill the doctor. not bad! okay! it's fine! but i'm just like. soooooooo not enthused about river being melody. i'm not. and i never will be. i think it's just another instance of moffat going 'look how clever i can be' without actually doing anything meaningful. it's just. very fucking whatever to me

-so i was like. vaguely vibing with a good man goes to war, it was fine, but like. idk my brain tuned out SO HARD during let's kill hitler -we all know hitler didn't need to be there. we all know it was awkward and uncomfortable as hell and very unnecessary and the plot doesn't even revolve around actually trying to kill hitler at all they could've been in ANY time period and it would've played out exactly the same. -sigh.

-ahhhh here is the crop circle -"you never answer your phone" at all times i am BEGGING for the phone to be martha's little flip phone. martha i miss you martha i hope you're okay

-yes you can very much see the river in mels. -also, mels. - ~i do not like mels~ -i KNOW it's because mels is melody is river etc that she grows up obsessed with the doctor but it's also like.........it takes away from baby!amy and her relationship with the doctor, the friendship amy wanted, how amy grows up, what the doctor meant to amy as a child -and that made me sad. -another companion shoved aside in favor of ~river and the doctor and THEIR shenanigans~ yes i'm being mean but i stand by it -oh, and baby!rory. you sweet summer child

-"i need to weigh myself!" does she? really????? really -just..........the exhaustion of moffat writing women. is bearing down on me in these two

-OH IT'S MORE SHERLOCK-ESQUE SCANS OF ITEMS IN A ROOM TIME, IS IT???????? -no, that i will never let go

-I WILL SAY i do not mind at all this og form of river before she is really river just delightfully doing whatever she wants and killing eleven. like, i did enjoy that.

-"time can be rewritten" makes yet another appearance -"remember kennedy?" YOU COULD'VE MADE THIS ABOUT KENNEDY!!!!!!! -or would that too have been awkward. ugggg idk

-ahhhh the fabled "give me someone i like" scene appears -no eleven you don't like you :') eleven especially :') eleven works so hard to like himself though, i think. i think there were shades of that, of eleven......trying to work harder at it. does not work though :’) -that the first person the tardis picks after eleven is rose my babygirl my beloved rose rose rose :') -i do wish eleven had said something more than just. being guilty. in seeing rose and martha and donna

-you know, it could've worked as like.................instead of bringing back the time lords and giving the doctor a new regeneration cycle like that -when river 'uses her regenerations' to save eleven, they could've like, counted. towards the doctor's. you know?? she'd only used, what, two?? three, max?? -idk i think it was a possible option???????? -i don't know how much i really like it either but i am always looking for 'well if you DIDN'T just bring back gallifrey what ELSE could you have done to solve the regeneration limit problem'

-so all that happened! alright. okay.

-one regret in not going back to my eleven watch earlier is that night terrors looks horrifying and goddamn i could've watched that in october

He killed a literal baby. And now he wants to sue the state for damages?!

By Anna Slatz February 14, 2024

A trans-identified male currently serving a 55-year sentence for the murder of his infant stepdaughter has launched a lawsuit against the Chaplain at his prison after he was allegedly denied a hijab despite identifying as a Muslim woman. Autumn Cordellioné, previously known as Jonathan C. Richardson, is seeking $150,000 in damages.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Cordellioné was first arrested in 2001 after his 11-month-old stepdaughter died in his care while her mother was at work. The night of the infant’s death, Cordellioné had been visited by friends who later told police that he had been “acting strangely.”

Despite claiming the little girl was inside sleeping, Cordellioné had loud music playing in the home, and his guests noted that he appeared to have a fresh, bleeding tattoo of the child’s name carved into his arm.

Later that night, after his friends left, Cordellioné went to his neighbor and asked him to call 911, claiming the child was unresponsive. When emergency personnel arrived, they were briefly able to resuscitate the girl, but she died shortly after being rushed to the hospital. 

Cordellioné was interviewed by police, who noted he was “calm and unemotional” during questioning, and his story about what happened to the baby changed dramatically over the course of the two interviews conducted.

At first, Cordellioné claimed he found the baby unresponsive after doing some household chores. But in the next interview, Cordellioné said the child was being “fussier than usual” and he attempted to throw her up in the air repeatedly in an effort to calm her down. He said her “head bopped forward and back up in a rough type of a manner,” and that the child continued to cry so he proceeded to shake her aggressively in an effort to calm her down.

During a failed appeals hearing, detectives from the case recounted how Cordellioné “physically showed” how he had manhandled the girl, getting up out of his chair and demonstrating the action in a rough manner.

An autopsy subsequently found that the baby had died of asphyxiation by manual strangulation. Cordellioné was booked awaiting a court hearing, and would later tell a prison official “all I know is I killed the little fucking bitch.”

Cordellioné was found guilty and sentenced to 55 years in prison for the horrific crime. He is currently incarcerated at the Branchville Correctional Facility, an institution for male offenders.

Last August, Cordellioné joined forces with the American Civil Liberties Union to sue the Indiana Department of Corrections, citing “discrimination” on the basis of his gender identity. That case is currently in progress.

But Reduxx has now learned that that Cordellioné has also launched a separate suit against the prison’s Chaplain, Tony Gray. Gray has been a Chaplain at the facility since 2014, and volunteered at the institution prior to being offered an official role.

In the lawsuit, filed on November 3, 2023, Cordellioné accuses Gray of violating his First, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment constitutional rights.

According to court records obtained by Reduxx, the incident of complaint took place in May of 2023 after Gray informed Cordellioné that he was not allowed to don a hijab outside of his cell. In response, Cordellioné said: “I wear the hijab in order to cover my head and ears for modesty purposes, as I am an Islamic practicing transwoman.”

At the time, Cordellioné’s registered religion was “Wiccan” and Gray pointed that out, to which Cordellioné replied that he was an “eclectic practitioner who is a member of the Theosophical Society in America.”

The Theosophical Society is headquartered in Chennai, India, and is considered an “esoteric new religious movement.” Founded in 1875, it describes itself as a “unsectarian body of seekers after Truth,” and its practitioners appear to dabble in the philosophy and beliefs of multiple religions simultaneously. One of its founders is Russian mystic Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who stated in 1889 that “the purpose of establishing the Society was to prepare humanity for the reception of a World Teacher.”

Cordellioné is claiming that his equal protection rights were violated when he was barred from wearing a hijab outside of his cell, noting that male Muslims in the facility are allowed to wear kufis or taqiyah — a short, rounded brimless prayer cap.

“Islamic faith mandates the wearing of a kufi for males … Islamic faith also mandates females of the faith wear hijabs when outside the home and when not amongst men of their family. Tony Gray allows male Muslims to wear their sufis, but denies me, a transwoman, the same privilege.”

From the legal complaint filed by Cordellioné.

Cordellioné also alleges that Gray’s refusal to allow him to wear a hijab violated his eighth amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment. In his argument, Cordellioné claims the he was subjected to “harassment and ridicule” by the Islamic community in his prison because he had not been allowed to wear a hijab.

“[Gray] should be aware, as Chaplain, the stigma and shame that is attributed to Islamic women when they go uncovered and without a hijab,” Cordellioné writes in his complaint. “Women are viewed as whores, tempters of men, and adulterators; by Islamic society both in and out of prison. I have been shunned, made a social pariah, and amongst my own religious community.”

He continues: “Without the support of the Islamic community, I will struggle and likely fail to achieve salvation for by [sic] Mohammed’s teachings a Muslim who knows of the teachings, yet strays from them, will never reach heaven.”

In his stated request for relief, Cordellioné is seeking the ability to wear his hijab in prison, as well as $150,000 in compensation.

Since filing, there has been some back-and-forth with the court surrounding Cordellioné’s financial situation, with the court requesting a nominal initial filing fee of $36.55, but Cordellioné claiming he does not have the money to pay it. If he cannot demonstrate deficiency in the time the court has specified, his case might be dismissed.

God, I can't with this. Sorry in advance since this will be long.

To be honest I love Joel with all my heart, he's one of my favourite video-game characters of all time. Ever since 2013.

But you're wrong.

Joel is not a good person and what he did was absolutely wrong.

People love shitting on Marlene and the Fireflies when they don't even know what happens in the story beyond the TV series.

I hated the fact that the made Ellie and Marlene complete strangers in the show when in reality Marlene has been taking care for Ellie for 13 FUCKING YEARS before Joel was even in the picture. ( I told my sister that part of the adaptation was shitty and would cause problems and lo and behold).

Ellie was in a FEDRA school and orphanage because Marlene was busy running the Fireflies and couldn't take care of an infant. Ellie knows that, and in the Left Behind DLC she actually asks Riley if she could join (another thing I hated about the show, trying to make the FASCISTS in FEDRA look good) and Riley tells her that Marlene won't let her.... Because she wants her safe.

Ellie has the knife and a note from her mum. She knows she can trust Marlene. Hell, when we meet Ellie she doesn't want to go with Joel and Tess and is absolutely worried about Marlene being hurt.

Marlene cared about Ellie A LOT. You can see it in the notes and recordings in Saint Mary's. Marlene loves Ellie deeply and fears she failed Anna. She green-lights the surgery but is super conflicted about it. She actually refused at the beginning, but she knows that they have one shot at making the cure. The Fireflies were desperate and had been working for years on finding a cure and fighting the infection while fighting against a fascist government.

She doesn't want Ellie to die, but she's responsible for what's left of the Fireflies, that included not only soldiers but also scientist and CHILDREN. She knows what she's doing is wrong, but she can't afford to fail.

She actually says "Joel may be the only person who knows what I'm feeling".

Don't come and say Marlene didn't care for Ellie as much as Joel did.

Now Joel.

Joel loved Ellie, no doubt about it. He saw her as a daughter. Not the daughter she lost, not a replacement for Sarah, but a new chance at being happy. He came to care for and love her.... But he knew her for barely a year. It was a year that changed both their lives and helped them heal. But still a sole year.

We can't forget either that Joel didn't even want anything to do with Ellie at the beginning.

Joel had spent 20 years being a survivalist and committing atrocities. Tommy actually leaves him and doesn't want so see him again because of that. Tommy has nightmares of everything Joel and him did to survive. He knows Joel is violent and cold, and while that helped them survive it wasn't right.

He's happy in Jackson and is healing from all those years of having to kill, torture and steal from others in order to live.

When they get to Jackson Joel tries to get Tommy to take Ellie. There's no emotional vulnerable Joel going "I'm old and I can't protect her and I'm scared I'm gonna get her killed UwU".

You have a Joel that wants to pin her on Tommy because he doesn't want to open up and love anyone again.

His harsh, stone-cold façade was already breaking since the Pittsburgh QZ. He cares for her, but doesn't want to. He still tries to distance himself form her. Ellie is a lonely child. She just lost two people and wants to grieve them and talk about it with Joel? He lashes out and tells her to just move on.

He doesn't want to love her.

Joel isn't a paternal character until AFTER the encounter with the cannibals, when he's faced with her almost dying and getting eaten (and molested).

When they arrive to Salt Lake City it is already too late. Her innocence has been lost. She's moody and doesn't actually react when he's acting like a father figure.

He tries to tell her to just go back to Jackson and forget about it, be happy, you know? But Ellie wants to see it end. She wants her immunity to mean something, to help people since she couldn't help Riley or Tess or Sam and Henry. She NEEDS to see this through. She tells him she wants to do something to help.

They get to the Fireflies, he gets K-O'd and Ellie arrives already unconscious because she almost drowns.

They tell him she could die and he can't take it. He was cold and closed off during 80% of their time together and now that he's opening up and seeing the possibility of a future.... He can't take it.

He's afraid of losing her and decides to massacre a whole HOSPITAL to get her out. Something that is completely understandable, I would've gone apeshit if my own sister was in danger, but it's still a selfish act.

People love complaining about Marlene and Dr. Anderson and how they didn't even ask Ellie if she wanted the procedure done and blah blah blah.

They forget that Joel robbed Ellie of her agency as well. And it's something that she will hate him for.

THEY ALL 3 DID IT. THEY'RE ALL WRONG IN THAT REGARD.

The Fireflies were willing to kill a child for a cure, Joel was willing to kill a hospital full of people for what he considered to be his world.

Hell, Dr. Anderson was willing to kill a child to protect his own fucking child and give her a chance at a world with no raiders, hunters and infected.

If they had asked Ellie she most likely would've said yes....and Joel would've still killed everyone to get her out. His actions were selfish.

Understandable? Sure, but still selfish and still cruel and aberrant.

This story is not a black and white story. There are no heroes and villains, there are only people. People that react and behave in a very visceral, emotional and not exactly rational way.

They're very human.

When the game came out people would argue what the ethical ending for the game could be. If we had a choice to spare the Fireflies and have a cure, would we do it? Was it wrong was it right?

It's all in a very gray area, there's no real answer.

No one is right, but at the same time, no one is completely wrong either.

So being all "UwU team Joel forever and Marlene was a bitch" is doing the story a disservice.

The HBO series was good, as far as adaptations come, but it changed certain things that made the ending not as impactful as it was in the game.

Pedro Pascal's Joel is so soft and emotional (not a bad thing and while I like Mr. Pascal is till prefer game Joel) he never closed himself to Ellie nor was he as brutal and emotionally detached. His act of love gets downsized.

They erased all ties between Ellie and Marlene. Big mistake.

The series, as good as it is, is not the canon version and they dropped the ball in certain aspects.

And one last thing, the procedure would've worked. Druckmann confirmed it. Had they done the surgery, a cure would've been developed. Joel did doom the world while he was saving his.

Sorry for the big-ass post but I'm very passionate about these games and the story since its the modern equivalent of a Greek tragedy and hate that people tend to make some very shallow takes on it.

sorry but I am officially a joel miller apologist. the fireflies knock him out & as soon as he regains consciousness marlene breaks the news to him that ‘yah sorry you’re never going to see your daughter again bc the surgery is lethal. but here’s her knife as a keep sake <3′ i’m sorry marlene but u thought that was going to go over well? you thought the insanely dangerous and firearm proficient man was who obviously bonded to ellie was going to go calmly? she should have sent ten men to escort him out. thirty. she should have just shot him in the head while he was unconscious. but of course she underestimated how much he cared. what he would do for ellie. bc she knew mean gruff self serving survivalist joel not father joel. she didn’t even let joel and ellie say goodbye to each other. was planning on killing ellie without even telling her for an experimental procedure they had no proof would work. didn’t even give joel the option to see her one last time. “would u kill 1 person to save 100?” they didn’t even allow a fourteen year old the agency to answer that question. team joel

🦋: Vigilance And Vengeance || mech pilots, angels, fury, stigmatization, transformations, violence, victimhood, probably worth reading The One Who Made Angels and Those Thankless Years first if you haven't

"At least you're not a Stig."

Bitter fucking comfort, though I supposed it true. At least I didn't proclaim what I was to the world in gilded writ. At least there was still something that was "me" inside of me, not just hollow Void. Would that that were all that was inside me...

See, I'd been a second gen pilot, snatched away from the claws of a mother who drank her fears away to stand wingblade to talon with the Beasts that threatened the world. And I'd been glad to go; even at that age, I knew it was what I wanted, knew it was where I belonged.

Not for the world's sake, mind you. Fuck the world, and all it had ever given me.

It was what I wanted for myself. I'd had nothing and been given a chance at everything I could ever want.

Strength. Power. The chance to win.

The S2's were incarnate miracles, striding tall through evacuated streets, absent the myriad flaws of the first generation. The first Seraphs, well, that man had slapped them together in record haste on a prayer and a collective dream of survival.

They'd been good enough, sure, but they were weak, vulnerable still, prone to cooking their pilots alive, assuming they held together long enough through the fire and Flame. We didn't know how strong the Beasts really were nor how to have a chance against them.

And the third generation, well...that was where the Stigs came from. By then, someone had figured out Halo field inversion, and it was all over for the pilots once they realized that the Seraphs cost far, far more than another unwanted child.

But the S2's...perfection. Could push 'em harder than yourself. They were fast. Deadly. And if you were good enough, hell, you were invulnerable. With the right pilot, man and machine would apotheose, an unwavering avatar of vengeance, the human will to never, ever submit again.

That's what they wanted, what they looked for in us. That pathological need to never, ever lose again, that will too indomitable to crack. And those of us who had had it, well, we piloted those angels as if we'd been born to those towering frames.

We were too in sync.

The best of us forgot how to feel comfortable in our own bodies, kicking and fighting to stay in those porcelain walls, desperation fueling our grasps at safety. Once you'd been one with a Seraph...everything else felt like death, or worse.

Helplessness.

Stumbling steps in a body with too few limbs, blind and frail as a newborn infant. I raised such a fit they all but let me sleep in the thing. It was for the best; anywhere else was too exposed. Couldn't be comfortable unless I was able to fight back.

On the rare occasion that I was forced out, I'd wander at night, looking to the sky, staring at Caelum glinting overhead, wondering if that man never condescended to us for the same reason.

I might not have been happy, but I was safe. Until the affinity became to strong.

It was the first inkling anyone had of Halo inversion. Its polar opposite, in fact: Conjunction.

One morning, He told me it was over. A hundred and seventeen fights without a scratch on me, a hundred and seventeen kills, and they were cutting me loose.

I was too old. Too hard to handle. Too stubborn.

So it was out on the open streets with a stipend and a "thanks."

I punched a hole through the wall when I heard the news. You could write it off as teenage angst, if not for it having been a solid meter of reinforced concrete.

They still let me go; too afraid to do otherwise, I assume. But it only got worse from there. The connection only got stronger. For whatever time I'd spent in the Seraph, its beating core lived on deep in my chest now.

I was stronger, yes, but we were one thing. A fighter.

The first person I killed just sneered in my direction. I didn't want to. But an S2 had only one job, pilot and Seraph alike. Never lose. Never stop fighting.

He burned on the spot, incinerated in the concordant perfection of my Halo. The thing in my chest demanded it.

At least he'd deserved it, not so different from a Beast.

The next didn't.

So I ran. I moved, over and over, city to town to city again, never staying still, never getting to actually live my life. I assume it all got swept under the rug, every broken body and burned building.

In time I learned to hide it, to force down the destroying angel inside. Days became weeks became months, and...I let myself hope. That there could be more to me than that. I made friends. Built a life. Fell in love. Read books and baked bread and did everything one was meant to.

Until the day he asked me to play stones.

I hadn't played before, but it was simple enough. White and black, good and evil, diametrically opposed, smooth porcelain maneuvering for territory.

I was good. The man I loved was better.

I moved the next day. I guess he didn't understand, in the end, didn't know me as well as he thought.

"It's just a game" were words no one would knowingly choose for their last.

I don't think the flames will ever die down. I know now that that Halo will burn anyone who wrongs me, anyone who tells me to stop fighting. Anyone who tells me I'm safe.

And they'll learn, in time, learn to stay away.

At least I'll never be a Stig.

~🦋

Pike is similar to SNW Pike, if you took everything interesting about Anson Mount's Pike and threw it away

omg what?!? what's with the bit where the guy is having too much fun laughing and being jolly to pull his parachute lmao

omg not a hanging off the edge of a cliff scene AGAIN, I can't take this

it's cute having Chekhov accidentally call Spock Commander instead of Captain

Chekov is a gamer, he can lock on

aw he's so cute.

"enah-jyyyzzze" Spock says while popping a squat... wow he's so gay

Vulcan getting sucked into the black hole really looks like a butthole

ok not to do with the movie but I accidentally just wrote "Vulvan"

Spock: ok guys just gonna record my very personal diary right in the middle of the bridge DON'T FOLLOW ME OUT WHEN I STORM OFF IN A DRAMATIC WAY

oh no Uhura's the best girlfriend

wahahaha tying my enemy up on a big slab and shining a light directly in his face and calling him by his first name, hey wait a moment do you guys hear Ghenghis Khan playing

not Spock quoting that Sherlock Holmes bit about the impossible I thought you were supposed to value logic

good arguing between Kirk and Spock though

did Spock just fucking drop Kirk on an inhospitable planet?!?!

oh my fucking god he's evil!

he really said it is logical to straight up kill this man rather than sedate him ok mr megalomaniac

oh nooo jim crying from spock prime's emotional transference, they have so much chemistry

"so you do feel" ok kirk your spock is like, the most emotional young spock of all, he wears his emotions on his sleeve

I love you bug-eyed alien friend of Scotty's

Scotty's whole shindig would hit harder if every person in this movie wasn't like ohhoho I'm the best guy ever at the thing I do within the span of like, a day

Spock Prime saying he learned to cheat by fucking with timelines from Jim, ah yes you love to see it

oh no Scotty got Charlie and The Chocolate Factoried

Spock being one of the antagonists of this movie is so funny

this fight is cringe.....

the little end intercom sound is the exact same starting note as MGMT's Kids

JIM YOU MADE SPOCK LOOK REALLY BAD IN FRONT OF HIS DAD!!!!!

"omg hiii, are we having a weird voyeurism moment in the transport bay?"

"I want Spock dead NOW!" child demands ice cream

OMG THIRD TIME JIM IS DANGLING BY HIS HANDS OFF A CLIFF, c'mon guys these moments are not good enough to demand the rule of threes

the parallel of Spock taking George Kirk's place as the self-destruct pilot - all to save his beautiful wife... Christopher Pike

Spock Prime just being like ah fuck it I'm not worried about Time Fuckery actually... I just needed to make sure you were gonna learn to love Kirk. we respect him for that

imagine if your future self was like hey I decided I don't care about temporal directives so I'm choosing to meet you but I did care so much about you learning to love and trust my best friend that I set up a scenario which would trauma bond the two of you to ensure you'd be friends and you're just like oh yeah I guess that's a normal situation to have with your platonic bro

Kirk got Captaincy of the Enterprise through uuuh... committing mutiny to save the ship, they were just like yeah ok I guess we'll give this ship to you now instead of it being like, an experience based thing. imagine if that's how it worked in real life.

in conclusion it just ain't my beloved SNW

heyyyyy long time no talk, basically everything is going okay, good even, me and my love interest got together and have been dating for almost half a year now, I graduated last month, turn eighteen in a couple days and am going for my license in a few weeks, so things have been looking up

but of course I dont come on here when things are going good, hense the very long absence.

so of course, here is my problem of the day:

my sister came back from uni to live with us again.

now hold on now yall, I know I sound awful and this whole thing is gonna sound awful but I do love her dearly and im very glad shes home, this is all just coming from a new place of frustration.

I want nothing more than to get my shit together and begin my adult life, but of course just as I start to get that sense of normalcy, she comes home and absolutely demolishes my plans because suddenly my mother is catering to her.

I have to be driven to school everyday and plan my life around my moms simply because my sister needs the car.

yes I understand that shes older and that getting a ride to her hospital job is probably less than convenient and ideal, but im not even fucking considered in this family

we bought a new car to share amongst the siblings and low and behold just as I thought suddenly what was meant to be for US is now for HER.

fuck off.

seriously???

I will always be the stupid fucking baby of the family and it literally makes me wanna rip my hair out and kill mysef.

she’s literally twenty six and is nowhere near independence. I know the economy is bad and she cant afford it, but maybe she’d be in a better spot financially if she didnt spend thousands of dollars going across the country.

I dunno, just for the record, I will not be like her OR my brother

I love them both so much, but I refuse to follow their footsteps cause to be honest, that would be embarrassing…

I need to prove my own worth cause clearly my own family see’s me as some fucking infant who cant take care of herself so they actively just continue to treat me like im five.

my hatred for this treatment will drive me to be more successful and I refuse to fall behind due to their negative pressures.

I wish theyd just let me grow up in peace, because all I do is build resentment for them.

He could tell that this man was trying to get to know him and it wasn't that he was closed off, quite the opposite actually. That being said Akihiro had to have a reason to open up to someone. He had gotten better about that over the years, but some times it was more fun to fall back into old habits. Sure, Akihiro found Wade incredibly annoying, but he could also dish that out. It would seem that Wade's behavior was either his emotional shield or it was his way of showing affection, hard to say which it was, maybe both.  Yeah, so Akihiro's father, Logan Howlett, was a huge man slut and had graced this world with many, many, children, and thereby Akihiro had a lot of siblings out there. Akihiro had met a few of them, by this point. Some interactions were positive while others where less than ideal, most either began or ended in a fight, sometimes both. Akihiro always had fun, regardless of intended or not, begining or end, or all of the above. In his experience the word family meant very little. His mother, Itsu, died when he was an infant, his father thought that he was dead, then Akihiro was given to a prominent couple to take care of. They gave him the name Akihiro, initially then tried to take it from him when they had their own biological child. It made Akihiro so angry that he trie to kill his little brother. The woman, Natsumi,  who was taking care of him in his mother's stead took him out to a forest, calling him '駄犬'' (Daken), meaning 'mongrel' to his face this time, rather than in secret to her husband, Akihira. Natsumi left Akihiro in the forest, abandoning him. After that the young wolverine pup learned how to manipulate people. He desperately wanted control in his own life, he wouldn't let anyone else control him, or his life, ever again and family meant just that. Or so he thought. 

"I'm glad you like it. It's what's keeping me from trying to kill you, and since you can't die.....Well, let's just say I really enjoy a good challenge." His tone turning one of almost arrogance with morethan a little bit of a hint of snark to it. Akihiro snickered at Wade's attempt at deflecting his 'Telletubby' insult That was more than a little funny, and a little sad but he was right.

"Okay, Okay. Ya got that right. You're not as off putting as a goddamnm, Telletubby. Those guys are creepy as fuck. You're more like my father's blow-up doll. Be careful, he got claws. Don't want ya t' deflate." Chuckling confidently as he stuck a single finger out and poked Wade in the side as though he was popping a Wade-shaped ballon, slowly and softly, then pulling his hand away at a normal pace. Akihiro sighed at this mans continous attempts to befriend him. Fine, if his father's new dick-sleeve wants to be freinds, then Akihiro will ive it an attempt but he isn't going to make it easy on him. 

"I am Akihiro and for the record Laura is cooler than everyone but I'm the best. I am the greastest fighter out of my siblings, and I am even greater than my dad is. One day I'll prove it to everyone, how great I am. You better remember that." There was no malice, or anger or any emotion behind his words, in his tone, or in his general energy or aura. Akihiro fully beleived what he was saying, he was confident, calm, his eyes steeled and staring at Wade. 

"Look I'm givin ya a chance, here. No strings attached. That's rare for me. Don't make me regret it." Akihiro's expression soften as he reminded himself that he came on a little strong sometimes, not giving people a chance, and sometimes not showing people that he was giving them a chance when he was. Akihiro was a little rough around the edges, like most of Logan's offspring.

If someone could ever SUFFER THROUGH the gestation period that it took in order to get to know Wade Wilson, they found out very quickly that he had a METHOD TO HIS MADNESS, and he was someone that cared a LOT MORE than he let on. Sometimes his method of SHOWING THAT LOVE was...

Well. INEFFECTIVE, to put it very politely.

This entire display that Wade was putting on in this case had more to do with needing to know just how much HIMSELF he could be around this kid of Logan's. One of the MANY. His little PROMISCUOUS PEANUT. Man had at least 19 other little BABY HOWLETTS roaming around the globe somewhere.

Wade had learned to appreciate the concept of a FOUND FAMILY though, a concept that he hadn't realized how much he needed until he finally got it.

He wasn't BLISSFULLY UNAWARE that he was blowing it by any means, he was simply incapable of SHUTTING THE ENTIRE FUCK UP...unless he was made to do so.

Thankfully, Wade understood the universal motion to STOP, and had done so. Based on Wade's read of the other man's mood, and his MANNERISMS, it seemed that he wasn't as ready to GO FERAL as one might expect. That was something fascinating to behold.

Wade even went as far as to take a DEEP, APPARENT BREATH along with Akihiro and exhaled with just as much emphasis. "It's a great technique," he mused quietly, "breathing has really kept me alive."

He wondered briefly what this man's DUMBASS limit was, and he was glad to have been muttering mostly under his breath. That subtlety though was about to be kicked out of his efforts altogether.

"HEY..." Wade placed his hands upon his hips and narrowed his eyes. "First of all, I may be ugly, but I am NOT as off-putting as a fucking TELETUBBY, okay?" The Merc folded his arms over his chest.

"Let's start over." He seemed to have calmed suddenly and significantly. "My name is WADE WILSON. Gotta say, Laura is a little cooler than you AESTHETIC-WISE, but that's not to say I don't appreciate everything you've got goin' on."
