Overheard at the BAU

Emily, big city girl visiting JJ's hometown: "are there like, any poisonous animals here?"

JJ: "Oh no, at least nothing that will kill you super quickly"

Emily, loading her bags back into the car: "THAT'S NOT THE REASSURANCE YOU THINK IT IS!"

Antonio needs to let Ludwig have his fun, when’s he ever gonna get another chance to bottom out for Rome??

THATS ONE OF ANTONIO’S main inner turmoils in this isekai adventure… Like he should probably keep Ludwig as far away from Rome as possible… but also Ludwig can’t contain his excitement it’s kind of sick and twisted

actively fighting a full blown panic attack born out of sadness and anger after having to drive by yet another victim on the side of the road

it makes me livid how accepted it is to just let cats suffer and die disgustingly horrid deaths and live awful short lives just so what, for what?? so you dont have to play with them for an hour a day??? when i was little it was just kinda normal that they disappeared at some point, i didnt understand what it actually meant until our outdoor cat i loved dearly was found in the bushes near our house in a condition so horrible my dad has never told me and i have never dared to ask, she only made it to 6 and had horrible scars and infections before that i allowed my family to convince me to let my first own cat outside, we only had her for a year, she died at only 2 years old, i am still suffering from the guilt, it has never let me go, she went missing for a week and i walked the entire vilage up and down every day, yelling her name, wandering into the forest alone, talking to every stranger i met until one morning my mom told me that our neighbour who works for the city asked if we had a white cat with a very specific collar she had- he found her on a busy road crossing in the next bigger city, i never even got to bury her, its haunting me, the thought of her wandering lost and scared in the city for a week until meeting an awful end gives me headaches, the fact that i was the last one to see her alive, that i put her outside bc we were late for school and had to leave quickly, that she had come home with oil in her fur from crawling through maschines and cars before, that i was worried but still didnt act, that it is my fault, any time i am up to late its coming back, it will never let me go, if i had stood my ground and not allow her outside unless on a leash or similar shed still be alive today, any time i read a description at our local shelter it comes back, they still advocate for outside cats, all of them, even if they have only been an indoor one before, its madness my older sister had a cat, i dont even know how old he got but it wasnt long either, he got hit by a car in front of their house, she has two now again and the only reason she hasnt let them outside is because they havent shown much interest in it, i tried to warn her before and she didnt listen and shes still resistent, even after losing one too

i have seen so many on the side of the road, anywhere i drive i see them, i cannot forget a single one, we are surrounded by farm land and all its giant maschinery, its still common to poison rodents, why do people value them so little, you wouldnt let your dog just live outside in the woods and streets for half the day or more, you wouldnt just throw your guniea pigs on the road and tell them have fun, you wouldnt just let your bird roam outside, there probably assholes that do that too but you cannot tell me its as common as outside cats

i dont understand it, i dont, i wont, i never will, i will never forgive myself this poor little animal that was my responsibility having to pay the price of my ignorance, or my own weakness letting my family convince me despite the awful way we lost one before, it makes me want to explode it hurts my brain in grief and anger i can barely contain

cats deserve to live a safe and long life, i get only having them inside may feel like you are locking them up, but do you think that not doing so is worth having them die a painful death? being poisonend? on purpose even by disgusting people that hate them? abused and chased by other animals and dogs? hurt and lost? cutting their lifespan in half? if they even make it that far? the amount of wildlife that they kill unnecessarily so when all of that is already in a steep decline everywhere? and if they eat what they hunt get infected with diseases or again, poison? die somewhere in agony? if cared for they dont care about going outside, plenty can be leash trained or given a secure way to roam like those cat proof aviary like things, if you dont want to put effort into caring for a cat DONT GET ONE, ALL pets require adequate care, and if you think cats are the easiest bc you only have to feed them every now and then IF they come home? you suck, you are an asshole, i hate you and you do not care about them, if you just want to occasionalyl feed and pet an animal go to the petting zoo

(this is about pet cats of people who can absolutely afford to keep them healthily inside, i know feral cats and those in poor neighbourhoods are a thing, even if not here where i live, and thats a whole other but still similar problem and not the point of this post)

„Es ist auch interessant beim Fußball, es ist immer noch ein Spiel. Stehste da einmal richtig, machst das Tor. Das sind genau diese Momente. Das Glück muss auf deiner Seite sein, da muss einfach so viel zusammenlaufen. [...] Es gibt auch Momente, wo ich sag, ‚Okay, wär vielleicht zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt besser gewesen.' Wenn ich ein bisschen älter gewesen wär, noch ein bisschen mehr Erfahrung. Aber im Nachgang– im Finale zu sein und zu spielen, ich mein, was gibt's Besseres für einen Fußballer?“

the fact that me, as a fan of both lando and oscar without any bias (maybe a bit on lando but not that much), is going to witness both "oscar fans, lando antis" and "lando fans, oscar antis" posts all in my one dash 🥲🥲

also the fact that atp i couldn't even bother enough with this same situation on both lewis and george. now it happens on lando and oscar as well which got me like....

I just need to know if others feel like this:

My current situation: I’m a seventeen year old, living in Germany. I would’ve been able to vote in the original polls for next year (the presidential vote I guess it would be called?) due to the revoting that will happen in either February or march (as of my knowledge) I’ve officially lost my vote.

It feels like I just have to watch everyone decide about mine and others future, watching such a big part of the country vote against mine and so many other people’s rights. It feels like my voice has been ripped from me, like it no longer matters what opinion I have just because the vote was pulled forward about 6 months. I realized that’s what it probably feels like for everybody who can’t go and vote, but it feels extra horrible to have to stand by and watch people of my generation (and other generations obviously) decide about mine and others value as human beings just because we’re different, having lost my voice when I finally had it, finally had the power to at least cancel out one vote for that messed up party, to go and participate in raising the count of the votes.

I always think about the fact that some people might say: the AfD (our version of Trumps Party, with way too many similarities to Hitlers Party) won’t win either way, but: they said that about Trump too. And now, now he is there and causes misinformation and Propaganda to be spread, causes that so many people have to live in fear of what is to come, if they can even survive the next 4 years.

It feels especially cruel to me. I can’t think about the votes too hard because it always causes a deep sense of despair, of fear inside of me. Is anyone else who is part of this group that got their vote basically ripped away feeling as upset about this as I am? Because everyone I know either isn’t in the group or just doesn’t give a f.

Rough German translation:

Ich möchte nur wissen, ob jemand sich genauso fühlt wie ich: ich bin 17 Jahre alt, lebe in Deutschland und hätte eigentlich bei den Bundestagswahlen mitwählen können. Durch die Neuwahlen (im Februar oder März nach meinem Wissensstand) habe ich diese Stimme verloren.

Es fühlt sich an, als müsste ich andere darüber beim Entscheiden zu sehen, wie die Zukunft von mir und anderen auszusehen hat, anzusehen, wie ein Teil des Landes gegen meine und die Rechte so vieler anderen stimmt. Es fühlt sich an als wäre meine Stimme mir entrissen worden, als wäre meine Meinung nicht mehr wichtig, nur weil die Wahlen 6 Monate nach vorne geschoben wurden. Ich weiß, dass es sich so für viele anfühlen muss, die eh nicht hätten wählen können, aber es fühlt sich nochmal extra schlimm, extra grausam an, dass ich nur daneben stehen kann und nichts tun kann, und zugucken muss wie andere über meinen und den Wert anderer Menschen als menschliches Wesen entscheiden, sich so viele entschieden, dass es uns nicht geben sollte, nur weil wir anders sind. Es fühlt sich extra grausam an, jetzt, wo meine Stimme, meine Möglichkeit wenigstens eine der Stimmen für diese widerliche Partei auszugleichen, mir entrissen wurde.

Ich denke immer darüber nach, dass einige sagen würden : die AfD (die Partei, mit viel zu vielen Ähnlichkeiten zur NSDAP) gewinnt doch eh nicht, aber, genau das haben sie auch über Trump gesagt. Und nun, nun ist er da und sorgt dafür, dass Falschinformation verteilt wird, sorgt dafür, dass immer mehr Angst haben müssen vor dem, was kommen wird, ob sie diese 4 Jahre überhaupt überleben können.

Ich kann jetzt nie über die Wahlen nachdenken, sie füllen mich mit Angst, mit Trauer und so, so viel Furcht. Gibt es andere, die zu dieser Gruppe von 17-jährigen gehören, die sich genauso fühlen? Weil alle die ich kenne entweder nicht zu dieser Gruppe gehören oder sich einen Dreck für interessieren.

You can't tell me that this

doesn't have the same energy as this

Nor that this

doesn't have the same energy as this

And similarly this

doesn't have the same energy as this

In that, whatever we think we're being shown in a trailer doesn't necessarily mean what we think it means.

Because surely you remember that this from the BBS ep 12 trailer

became this in the show

I don't for one second believe what we're being shown in the Last Twilight ep 12 trailer...apart from the colours, of course...because as we've seen umpteen times before, the colours don't lie.

And both Night and their mom are wearing Mhok's blue here, alongside Day who has a mixture of Mhok's blue, his own green...and Night's brown.

I haven't had time to properly write about the design of this show (oh there have been so many things I've wanted to mention) but I do think Night is colour-coded brown, as shown brilliantly in ep 10's dinner scene, with Day wearing Mhok's blue in front (because he had plans to go and see him) and Night's brown behind...because as has been shown time and again, Night has always had Day's back.

And with Night in a very vibrant blue at the end of ep 11, I firmly trust that he will have both Day and Mhok's back in ep 12, and that whatever the trailer for ep 12 is trying to make us think will happen will turn out to be another one of Aof's cleverly crafted ruses designed to make us lose our minds for a week.

Must I remind you?

NEVER TRUST A THAI TRAILER

AND CERTAINLY NOT AN AOF NOPPHARNACH EPISODE TRAILER.

Euros thoughts I've been having: Was Norway partying with Scotland in Germany ahead of his games in the Euros? Did Norway console Scotland after his team was eliminated in that defeat by Hungary? I can imagine Scotland needed a hug and some back rubs at least after that... Do you think he's supporting Denmark as a fellow Scandinavian, or is there too much rivalry?

Thank you for these Euros thoughts!! 🙏 I've watched every game I've had the opportunity to and we are so close to the end of it now 👀 betting on Spain to take the win this year

Of course Norway's joined joined in on Scotland and Germany's pre-gameings - which is an adorable new friendship btw. Norway enjoys football as much as any other European country and when his own team is not playing, he can at least have fun watching Scotland's team.

"I'm sure you'll advance from the group play next time~"

tbf I think Scotland is still quite proud of his team though 🙏 I've seen nothing but positivity from Scots interviewed after they lost that final match - they are just there to bring good vibes and have a great time and that's what they accomplished ✨

The Danes have been terrible towards us in the euros this year and we're not even in it!! 😠 I've seen some videos of Danes chanting about how Norway did not qualify and how they are so much better 😠 I think Norway would be sort of reluctant to cheer for Denmark to begin with, so this behaviour by Danish fans is a great excuse to root against Denmark in every match. And they didn't even pass the group play sooo 👀

He placed his free hand on Germany’s shoulder and grinned. “See, isn’t this nicer than laps?”

Germany shook his head and let out a contented sigh, “If it makes you feel better, then yes. It is.”

“I’m glad,” Italy said, and Germany could have sworn he moved closer.

This was it, it was time to make your move, go for it…

“Italy, I—”
