"Quite well, actually!" - Gilbert

“The idea that after this war life will continue 'normally' or even that culture might be 'rebuilt - as if the rebuilding of culture were not already its negation - is idiotic. Millions of Jews have been murdered, and this is to be seen as an interlude and not the catastrophe itself. What more is this culture waiting for? And even if countless people still have time to wait, is it conceivable that what happened in Europe will have no consequences, that the quantity of victims will not be transformed into a new quality of society at large, barbarism? As long as blow is followed by counter-blow, catastrophe is perpetuated. One need only think of revenge for the murdered. If as many of the others are killed, horror will be institutionalized and the pre-capitalist pattern of vendettas, confined from time immemorial to remote mountainous regions, will be re-introduced in extended form, with whole nations as the sub-jectless subjects. If, however, the dead are not avenged and mercy is exercised, Fascism will despite everything get away with its victory scot-free, and, having once been shown so easy, will be continued elsewhere. The logic of history is as destructive as the people that it brings to prominence: wherever its momentum carries it, it reproduces equivalents of past calamity. Normality is death.”

Adorno, ‘Out of the firing-line’ (Autumn 1944) from Minima Moralia

thank you undertale for having lowk the best rep out there for they/them characters (monster kid, nabstablook, frisk, chara, etc). like can we acknowledge that. nobody does it like undertale. toby fox you are a legend amongst men.

and just rep in general. dress wearing lion (either gnc or transfem im unsure). mad mew mew being the transfem icon ever. mettaton. undyne being the best lesbian (says me her no.1 lesbian fan). alphys being a bisexual mess. guard 01 and 02 being gay and going on a nice cream date.

undertale does this all so casually and without bringing attention to it or spoonfeeding it to the audience or giving a single shit. and that’s fucking amazing. undertale did queer rep right. toby fox i love you thank you for including queer themes executed perfectly in your stories

This is easily one of the most powerful scenes from the entirety of Brian Michael Bendis’ groundbreaking run on Ultimate Spider-Man!

I really love the speech Peter gives when he, along with Mary Jane, Liz, Flash & Kenny “Kong” are all in Saturday detention together after MJ beat up Flash in retaliation for him insulting the late Gwen Stacy (this takes place immediately after Gwen was murdered by Ultimate Carnage). After Flash angrily storms out and Kong tries to defend him, Peter states exactly what kind of person Flash truly is:

Like holy crap! Peter’s words here sadly still feel as relevant today as they did back when this was first written in the mid 2000s!

From Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) #65 by Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley!
