I will say I get the vibe that a lot of peoples interest and support for strikers is a bit too much for a vicarious ‘burn it down’ thrill, rather than for the actual goals of a strike.
Like UPS has agreed to come back to the table and it is very possible they will concede to Union demands and avert a strike. And if that happens (so long as the union does not make concessions on its key demands) it’s a good thing. It’s a victory for the laborers. It is the same ultimate conclusion that a strike would intend to produce except without the workers having to go on (not so great) strike pay for a week or two.
#I understand to an extent bc I think such a major strike would be very politically significant for the labor movement#But UPS submitting to union demands to avert a strike also accomplishes this. Maybe in a less visible way but all the same#Also on a personal note I would love to see UPS get absolutely fucked but again: strike goals are more important here

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.
and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.
And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.
#pjo#percy jackson#riordanverse#nico di angelo#i will also note it is implied though we never see that Hazel has the exact same powers as Nico#and Hazel has trained with her powers way longer than Nico has plus is older so theoretically is more powerful already#she killed a giant all by herself. sank a small island. and successfully subdued Gaea for like another 60 years#so given that + her also having Nico's powers then *Hazel* is theoretically the strongest demigod no contest#Jason and Thalia end up kind of nerfed by the plot in that neither is allowed to overshadow Percy either#but they dont play the same roles that characters like Nico do - Nico keeps getting stupid abilities just for convenience factor#and Bianca never got the opportunity to use many powers besides astral projection/dream manipulation and similarly hades kid illusion stuff#and general ghost stuff. and she does all that as a ghost really. her killing the skeleton wasnt even her powers that was just a normal sta#and it was just by virtue of her being a hades kid and fulfilling the ''can kill these skeletons'' requirement that it blew up#technically she also showcases underworld immunity with the lethe stuff wearing off but that's very subtle#Hazel also doesnt play the same role as Nico and so doesnt get to showcase all that#plus is similarly nerfed with the ''cant be cooler than Percy'' constraint and so never gets to really do anything#even though logistically she is the most powerful and should showcase the full extent of her abilities to the same degree as Percy and Nico#Jason at least gets a little bit more wiggle room than Thalia being a main protagonist#Nico just gets the most wiggle room out of both not being a protagonist and being functionally a dues ex machina most of the time#versus Thalia or Bianca who are only ever secondary or supporting characters

("Always. Continuously. With increasing apprehension, and decreasing hope. I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday. I will love you as a corpse loves the beak of the vulture. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this." -- paraphrased from The Beatrice Letters, Lemony Snicket)
#svsss#bingqiu#luo binghe#shen qingqiu#lbh#sqq#i've been working through the series of unfortunate events and somehow that series has paired really nicely with svsss#the themes of cycling violence and what's justified and what isn't and what can possibly be done differently#and how trying to bring love and honour into the midst of it really changes nothing but also changes everything#it's just *chef's kiss*#i don't know how i can quite do my thoughts justice but i've spent the past few weeks quietly going between the two series (and mdzs and tg#as well if we're being honest they all hit similar questions and themes) and just reveling in the pain and ambiguity of it#everything is interconnected and it means you can never know what trauma and pain and necessity has shaped a person#each story goes too far back to ever ever EVER possibly see the full extent of it#at that level even communication itself is nearly impossible.#and because of that it's almost impossible to change anything. beat yourself apart and the outcome is the same#and yet ATTEMPTING to change things ATTEMPTING to do the kind thing the honourable thing is absolutely critical#because while you can change nothing you also have the capacity to change EVERYTHING#aaaaaaah i don't even know what i'm saying#but i read the beatrice letters today and the love letter just. killed me.#(obviously i cherrypicked some lines because it's three pages long but those ones felt right)#''i love you like a corpse loves a vulture's beak'' i just. can't get over that line.#to be completely changed. altered. destroyed. redeemed. purified. desecrated. reduced to nothing yet entirely necessary for another's life.#what a FUCKING line#anyway i was either going to blow up from thinking about it or else i had to exorcise it via art from an entirely different series#i've already done svsss and discworld why not throw a series of unfortunate events into the mix#i'll be honest folks i did not expect svsss to be the mxtx series that would fuck me up the most about the main ship#bingqiu is something else. i don't even know how to begin to approach my feelings on it. impossibility and necessity all at once#bizarre#my art

Regrettably caught myself thinking “Is he, you know… *pictures Machete’s tail curl*” earlier today.
#answered#anonymous#it's just a small body language thing#the tail tends to form that loop when he's in a good mood he doesn't carry it like that all the time#you might be able to see the same thing in Vasco but to a lesser extent since his tail has that curved saber shape basically all the time

#thanks for pointing that out! because i haven't watched that part of wano as anime. and honestly either forgot how that happened in the#manga#but its a really cool similarity. and they even called the attack the same name - divine departure!#its cool to see these glimpses of roger that stayed with shanks all those years. even their sword is so similar!#one piece#op spoilers#one piece spoilers#opgraphics#opedit#onepieceedit#shanks#red haired shanks#eustass kid#gol d. roger#oden#wano#egghead arc#egghead spoilers#mine#gif:op anime#gif:one piece#tbh its a sad episode for kid pirates but thematically i love it#it shows kid as still the too highly thinking of himself and low on his opponents. and it was a perfect opportunity to finally show the#the scope of shanks' powers. probably not even the full extent of them. but like a treat -#here. watch him obliterate a whole crew with one sword swing. isnt he neat?#hmm i need to know if the kid pirates are gonna survive OTL

You guys don’t get it, they used to be the high 5 heroes. They used to be the high 5 heroes guys. They used to. They used to be starry eyed freshmen. They had to choose each other. They had to have awkward introductions. They had to pick that name together. I’m never okay ever.
#I’m a firm believer in the idea that the rat grinders care about each other as people#not bad kids level obviously. they haven’t had the same experiences that led the bad kids to be so close to one another.#but man. three hours a day in those woods? they’re teenagers. I promise they aren’t all business out there.#like maybe they arent soulmates but they have to be friends to some extent#(I have latched onto the scene of Ivy and Oisin playing beer pong like my life depends on it)#(please it makes me so sad to think about them)#oisin hakinvar#ivy embra#kipperlilly copperkettle#mary ann skuttle#ruben hopclap#lucy frostblade#buddy dawn#fantasy high#d20#d20 fantasy high#dimension 20#the high 5 heroes#the rat grinders#txt post

I can’t stop thinking about Loop. Imagine doing everything, anything, to get out of a traumatic situation but the price is you. Your body is gone, your name is gone, your family doesn’t recognize you, you feel like most of your memories of them are gone too anyway. Suddenly you’re denied your identity. It’s like YOU never existed… and someone else took your place. You, whose biggest fears are forgetting and being forgotten in turn. You, who’s hesitant to change and now you’re forced to. You can’t even really blame anyone else because you did get your wish, right?
It’s explained clearly in the game, but the implications of it just hit me extra hard sometimes. Siffrin is as much of a study of Loop as Loop is of Siffrin. They share(d) their fears too so mal du pays words essentially becoming the truth to Loop is just… 🪨🪨🪨🙁🙁🙁💥💥💥💥
What do you do when all you have is ripped from you, all your worst fears come true, and youre forced to just… come to terms with it?
#isat spoilers#isat loop#2hats spoilers#shaking you by the shoulders#i love siffrin and loop so much#’’wkb’’ consider: i am new and also stupid#yes ive KNOWN but i didint really GET it yk? like how horrifying losing you self is#they make me die#postgame loop makes it hit extra hard bc ppl are partially defined by their experiences#the longer siffrin and loop exist as separate the more they diverge#that must be TERRIFYING. to an extent to both of them#of course they’ll always have many similarities as they started as the same person but like#loop is just despair au siffrin#<- specifying postgame fics that explore loops identity bc canon had them fade out#which i love btw delightful angst i love everyones takes on loop#in stars and time#isat#i think genuinely in Loop’s shoes as someone who’s also hesitant to change: if I didn’t cry 24/7#i’d be clinging into who i was and still want to be in some ways. but as i’d heal i’d probably want to be distinct#like im me and always will be me but i want what i experienced to not be a footnote. i dont want to be a mirror#’’i am who that family loved but im also someone new’’ yk? its so hard to battle with those two opposites of ’’im []’’ & ’’im not YOUR []’

my haymitch super edition prediction is that theres a weird and unnecessary romantic tension between haymitch and katniss's mom
#katniss everdeen#haymitch abernathy#the hunger games#hunger games#thg#sorry i know everyone was expecting an actual haymitch drawing but this idea has been nagging at me for MOOOONTHS#bc the summary mentions him dealing with the most spoiled girl in district 12 or whatever#and i know most people assume thats maysilee but. i think it'd be soooo funny if it were katniss's mom.#especially bc they did know each other to some extent back in the day. theyre around the same age. she was maysilee's friend. etc etc.#YES i think haymitch is gay btw that hasnt changed hashtag gaymitch forever#but i think him and katniss's mom is just so funny to me. sorry. its just so funny.#like if katniss's mom didnt ditch district 12 . her getting remarried to haymitch? funniest shit ever

underrated part of mementos mission is ren being so effortlessly pretty that the casting director at ann’s photoshoot thinks he’s one of the models
i know he demurs in response but i do still like it as an unconventional postcanon career for him because first of all his face card never declines
but also it is deeply fun to think of akechi with a password protected folder on his phone with all of ren’s horniest photoshoots
#ren amamiya#goro akechi#shuake#persona 5#on a less silly note i also think it’s a neat inversion of their public presence in the canon timeline#akechi has his face EVERYWHERE and while ren makes his way into the public consciousness as joker#he doesn’t really do it as ren amamiya#so it could be interesting to explore from that angle#where now he’s the one with his face plastered everywhere/the one getting recognized in public#(probably not to the same extent as akechi was but like. still.)#ultimately i do think he’s more of an ‘in the shadows’ kind of guy but again just a fun concept to explore#*

preachers son!art keeps a picture of you in his wallet because he likes to show you off to the ladies at church whenever they ask if he has a "pretty girlfriend at school". he was, also, really excited to show you to his mom when she asks about you once he steps foot through the door. i think keeping a picture of you keeps with the mental emotional support, too, once being at home becomes too much for him and all he can think about is to go back to you, because, yeah, school is school but home is something that slowly becomes a place that he can't imagine he just lived with and settled for once he got a taste of a world that is just so different.
#lowk mommas boy but to an extent bc his mom is tamer than his dad but still within the same vein so it gets hard to live with over time#ANYWHO#my writing#char: preachers son!art#☆ challengers#art donaldson x reader#challengers x reader
