And I Avoid Conflict

I bite his fist as he throws his punch drawing bloody knuckles yet again Each blow is useless to someone with a high tolerance for pain He'll get tired before I give up, they always do I'm not even sure I understand why I have becone the centerfold in a violence digest I don't even like confrontaion and go out of my way to avoid it

He calls me nanes like faggot And I tell him he should come up with something orignal I was a goth kid in a town of farmers does he really think that word is gonna hurt me I let him have his ignorant fun I've got nothing else going on and this at least gives me a hit of adrenaline That's my life, always looking for the next hit

He goes for my stomach where I have no teeth and I cough his blood right into his face I almost start to laugh but I can't give him that I can't let him know this beating doesn't phase me At least the last one was with a group He's the lone ranger with a silver bullet It's high noon and this duel already started My skin is covered in Cactus thorns

I hardly feel them

His fists keep up their assualt and I finally fall to the ground Not because he's got me, but because my legs are tired and I'm wondering what I'll do after thi Probably go the Uptowner because they won't care if I'm covered in blood

i’ve been wanting to do this since day one

[here-comes-the-moose]

*right after Omega joined the family, thus replacing Crosshair as the baby*

Crosshair: *sulking*

Echo: Listen, just because there’s a new baby doesn’t mean we love you any less…

Imagine if Aziraphale runs heaven like the bookshop and he’s just hanging out doing absolutely nothing but shuffling papers around to look busy while keeping inconsistent office hours and tracking Crowley back on earth all day long and stress snacking, and that’s what ends up ruining heavens plans for the second coming.

Okay here’s the post I talked about from that last reblog!

This also goes beyond ultimatums and conversations - people will twist themselves into knots justifying behaviors and actions all on their own without any input from the important outside source. A misguided sense of noble self-sacrifice when not ever mentioned out loud is just, plainly, unwarranted and stupid. Bearing with something you don’t want to do for another person is not automatically a favor they owe you later down the line, especially if they didn’t know you were doing that. “I went to these things even though I didn’t want to and you don’t even appreciate it even though I never mentioned it” make it make sense!

As someone who does sometimes go to events or do things I don’t necessarily want to do when invited, that’s automatically on me and that’s a choice I make based on my energy levels. A lot of the time I go because I know I don’t want to in the moment but will probably enjoy myself later. Even if I don’t? That’s not on the other person, that’s not a future argument I win. People who make little balance ledgers of this stuff must be exhausted. We have got to stop blaming and trying to hold other people accountable for our sometimes admittedly rough feelings. You need to engage in emotional regulation and own up to your own mistakes that make you feel like shit instead of putting it on others ‘for putting you in the place to make that decision’.

It’s not noble self-sacrifice to remain quiet as discontent bubbles up without communicating it. It’s just boxing with shadows, and you are not going to win.

I’ve made this post before but I can’t be bothered to find it. In what we commonly consider a ‘traditional’/patriarchal European society, the paths in life are: marriage with children (acceptable), bachelorhood (frowned upon, locked out of certain professions/roles), spinsterhood in servitude to parents (probably suffering), religious servitude. An unmarried person is a servant either of the local lord, the Lord, or the parents. The parental relationship has a built-in hierarchy of the senior parents and the underling child. All pressures push down and toward marriage as a form of (highly limited for women) freedom.

One of the few ways around this system is the sibling relationship. Sticking with a sibling can provide an avenue to independence from hierarchy via a peer relationship, a person who moves in with a married sibling is protected under the auspices of that marriage (though somewhat dependent on the sibling) and is not automatically subordinate as with aristocracy/religious orders/parents. I’m interested in the sibling relationship as a kind of lifeline or shield against the buffets of social expectation specially in a world where there is some kind of censure against unmarriage and in which marriage is seen as the final step in growing up. Siblings are the playmates of childhood, they are biological family, to remain part of s biological family unit is acceptable, to remain unmarried is not, the sibling is the last line of defense against a spouse without submitting to hierarchy and/or could be read as the last line of defense against growing up.

This isn’t coherent. I like the idea of two siblings choosing to remain close into adulthood not because they necessarily like each other that much, but because they understand the consequences of abandoning someone to social forces. Siblings as a kind of delayed maturation, a sign that something is wrong, a failed evolution, a vestigial relationship, you’re supposed to be close growing up and then split into different clans, but they have failed to do so and have closed the loop to return to childhood.

mr. of waterdeep. i like him

say what you will about svu and copaganda but the consistently repeated theme that olivia benson was fundamentally born Wrong and the way the violence of her conception radiates out and impacts every single relationship she has. she cannot conceive of an existence that does not render her as an agent of justice rather than a complex person and it infects her interactions with anyone who is able to balance that responsibility. the way law & order manages to successfully recast the police as superhero-esque christ figures is genuinely incredible and like. even the way the show itself oscillates as to what her exact fate is episode to episode. does it get better? worse? can she ever prove herself worthy? is the past ever really past? is this thing she’s been justly burdened with her burden to carry at all? in the eyes of the Law. Our Father who art in heaven. i wash my hands of this.

How do proshippers compare Anidala to the same level of toxicity that their gr00mer and p*do ships are on? Anidala in it’s nature was never toxic, and one moment of despair (which only exists to serve a narrative purpose and isn’t supposed to be a representation of that character or the relationship) doesn’t at all negate this fact. Especially since we all know Anidala are part of a space-fantasy esque story. So dramatics such as the above-mentioned content is highly expected.

Anakin and Padmé were the ideal couple. Completely, insanely, and madly in love. They would’ve sacrificed for each other, supported each other, and overall were a joyous couple. They were happy. That’s why the last scene in ROTS has such a huge impact.

Now don’t go comparing THAT to fictional parings that’s innately toxic in it’s nature such as: grown men meeting or raising up 9/14 yo old kids then getting with them when they’re of “age”.

Ok since Monika still has her admin powers in the side stories you think she could just discover them accidentally or use them without realizing

Anyways au where Monika and friends discover her admin powers but dont know about the wider context of what it means. So they just go around thinking Monika has magic and try practicing with a bunch of silly fun shenanigans because they figure it’s some chosen one bloodline stuff and not like. A product of their reality being a constricted digital science experiment.

This au will not end well

postgrad au.... are ichi and jyushi really as close as they were in canon, or does mr ex-popular distance himself from the alleged delinquent

Despite Ichimatsu being the only other person besides their parents to have Jyushimatsu's number, it's not very good (❁´◡`❁)

viserys is so funny because he only has three instincts:

1. prevent incoming civil war entirely aka name rhaenyra his hand.

pros: gets people used to a woman ruling; trains her for her future job; supposedly shows people she is competent.

cons: might need to have a strongly worded conversation with my wife :((((

2. let the civil war happen ten years earlier aka name daemon his hand.

pros: he’s my baby brother!!! it’s totally gonna be different this time trust me :D

cons: giving someone who made it clear he thought he should be my heir instead of my daughter a position of immense power. giving someone who is popular with the city watch, our country’s biggest fleet and the owners of said fleet a position of immense power. giving someone who, according to all of my advisors, wants to usurp me a position of immense power.

3. dance of the dragons. aka name otto hightower, the number one aegon-should-be-king truther, also his toxic ex situationship

Isn't it fucked up Warren accepted to be cyro frozen With the risk of memory loss because he didn't want to be responsible for his life. And when he did lose his memory he still wanted the same thing... It's like the only way to get rid of your problems is to face them
