“nightmare” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 351 words

James loves Regulus. He really does, more than anything. But Regulus on little to no sleep can be a bit of a nightmare. James can handle Regulus’ most murderous glares and snarkiest insults, but sleepy, grouchy, cranky Regulus is one of the scariest things James has ever seen.

So, James has been dreading their 6am flight because he has to wake Regulus up at 4am. However, when James rolls over, he finds the other side of the bed cold and empty. Confused, James gets up to search for Regulus and he's not prepared for what he finds.

James walks into the kitchen and Regulus is standing at the stove singing and dancing while casually flipping pancakes.

“Reg?”

“James!” Regulus spins around and bounces over to James. “Good morning!”

“Good morning.” James says slowly. “What time did you wake up?”

“Oh, I didn’t.” Regulus tells him. “I never went to bed. I didn’t want to wake up this early, so I just decided to stay up, so I started drinking coffee last night around 10 and then I had an energy drink at midnight and then again at 2 and I’ve made a few more pots of coffee. How are you? Are you all packed? Any last-minute things you need to pack? Don’t forget your things from the bathroom. Did you shower? I already showered, so you can shower whenever you want. And I made breakfast. This is actually the second breakfast because I made some a few hours ago but then I realized it was too early and you wouldn’t be up yet, so I ate that and now I’m making another batch for you. There’s fresh coffee and I'm making blueberry pancakes, but if you want something else, I can make that also. Are you okay, you’re being very quiet.” Regulus says all in one breath and James just blinks at him several times.

“Reg…” James starts but he’s cut off when Regulus gives him a quick kiss.

“It’s going to be such a great day, James!” Regulus bounces back to the stove.

James has a feeling it’s going to be a very long day.

i usually go through these periods where its like i have one constant string of panic attacks about death for like 2 weeks then back to normal but i think this time its different its really bad this time

[dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram]

i feel like the pilates video is also gross bc its trying to sell a product, like them saying theyre trying to "squash the stigma" while promoting a product, it feels insincere to me

I agree that it is all made worse because they're selling a product. They're not squashing stigma, they're pretending to squash stigma. They're spreading horrific misogyny for money. And Harry agreed to it.

Something very twisted about the fact that i used my chosen name for years in every situation that didn't require my legal name, but I couldn't get it legally changed. And now, I got it legally changed, but I have to use my deadname in every situation that doesn't require my legal name.

Surviving in a Place Not Meant for Me

I wish I could bite the metal File my teeth down So people no longer flinch when I arrive Fangs gleaming I beg to sew my own mouth shut To let the threads make me tame And hide the wild That threatens to spill out I put on the collar that binds Turn a wild animal into a pet The feral into tame And hides what I’ve been made into I remove my vocal cords Silence myself And forget how to sing with the pack Suppress the blood that fights in my veins Nature and nurture Were always something I was Taught To overcome But how am I to overcome When they both reinforce the same lesson To take the hit From the hand that feeds I look away To hide the wild in my eyes The bright yellow not meant to be seen Rather than the warm amber they should be I beg the moon at night To release me from my wolfish state To hide the things in me That prevent me from consolidating into society The moon sits in silence Watching me pull the fangs out of my mouth I will ensure that they know I will never bite I will swallow my teeth for love

Today at work, some kid tried to hug me and and my brain malfunctioned, so I just very awkwardly patted him on the head.

I'm sorry but I genuinely can't understand how people can look at Stolitz and Catradora and think these ships are healthy in any way, shape or form.

Stolas r*ped Blitzø. No, consent given in a life-or-death situation doesn't count

Stolas is racist towards imps, and this didn't change even when he "fell in love" with Blitzø

Stolas doesn't appreciate or respect Moxxie and Millie in the slightest (and was disappointed that his "Prince Charming" wasn't the one to rescue him)

He looks down on Blitzø and calls him things like "impish little plaything" and "his big dicked Blitzy" and doesn't stop treating him like shit even when Blitzø says loud and clear that he hates being talked down on like this (DUH)

The only thing Stolas knows about Blitzø is that he hates books and the only thing Blitzø knows about Stolas is that he's a boring bookworm. Keep in mind, the two figured this out about each other while they were kids, 25 YEARS AGO, after Blitzø was bought so that he could be Stolas' "friend" for ONE DAY

Stolas doesn't love Blitzø for Blitzø. Stolas loves the *idea* of Blitzø. The bird man wants to live a romance that is just like the romances in his cheesy novels. He wants to ride into the sunset with his one true love. He wants grand romantic gestures. He wants his "Prince Charming". Except, Blitzø isn't the type of guy for such sappy displays of affection, he never was. Especially combined with his trauma. And as soon as that other imp guy asked him to dance, Stolas not only accepted the offer, but Blitzø was no longer on his mind. And no, I don't think being drunk is proof that Stolas didn't mean what he had told Blitzø. Drunk people find it easier to say what's really on their mind after all

Blitzø fell in love with his abuser. This makes sense, actually. The guy always pushed everyone away and never got to experience true love, and now that he has the chance to be "wanted," even if the "relationship" is toxic, he finds it hard to let it go

As for Catradora, the things I wanna say about this ship have already been said throughout the years, but it all boils down to these things:

Catra mentally, emotionally and physically abused Adora

Catra had no problem ending the whole entire universe if it meant she'd finally be better than Adora

Catra was a war criminal and a fascist

Catra was responsible for what happened to Glimmer's mom and never apologized, let alone faced consequences

Their relationship was toxic even when they were kids

They were both raised by Shadow Weaver and were the only ones in the Horde who saw her as a mother figure, thus making the ship straight up incest, with even the official source material calling them sisters (adoptive siblings ARE REAL SIBLINGS!!!)

Catra got exactly what she wanted in the end (the girl she's always been obsessed with and dependent on) and, once again, faced 0 consequences for her actions

The show (and C//A stans) fetishizes abuse. As a SA survivor, I felt physically sick during the final episode, where the abuser ends up with her victim/sister and they kiss

In short, these ships are disgusting and the lgbt community deserves better representation

Today, the country indeed looks alien. The America many of us believed we knew now appears stranger in retrospect: The anger and resentment we may have thought was pitched at a simmer turned out to be at a rollicking boil. And one of liberals’ most cherished shibboleths from 2016—that Trumpism is a movement for aggrieved white men—unraveled in the face of a realignment that saw the GOP appear to give birth to a multiracial working-class movement. A second Trump presidency is the result of this misjudgment.

Democrats are a coalition party of the center-left

The Left has traditionally been associated with egalitarianism, which is by necessity concerned with the masses, the common people, the working class, but also the dispossessed, the marginalized, the disadvantaged

The modern Democratic party traces its roots most directly to the New Deal coalition of the 1930s, which it understands to have been a robust working-class and labor-rights movement

They also see themselves in the 1960s cultural revolutions and their repudiation of hierarchy, itself generally seen as the position of the common person, the masses, but also the dispossessed

The party takes its name from Andrew Jackson, great champion of the Common Man, at least as understood at his time, but it goes back to Thomas Jefferson, famous for declaring that "all men are created equal," and now excoriated for failing to live out that egalitarian principle

The Democrats are a party for the people, understood as capaciously as possible, the party that repudiates narrow nationalism and jingoism, in favor of spreading the benefits of American society widely, in opposition to favoring the privileged few

Why am I reminding you of all these things that you already know?

Because they believe so deeply that they are right in every way that matters, or at least incomparably superior to their opponents, they cannot begin to imagine repudiation from the very people in whose interests they thought they were acting, let alone in favor of the very person they swore was an existential, even murderous threat to those very same people

I think to appreciate the sensation, you might imagine a thief broke into your home, and then your family kicked you out in favor of the thief; someone broke in to ravish your spouse and they called the police on you; a sex offender told your children explicitly what he wanted to do them, and your children fought you to get out of your arms so they could crawl into the van knowing full well they'd never see you again

The shock is so existentially horrifying, such a betrayal of reality itself, that it would require rethinking all your most basic assumptions about the political order, human beings, and worst of all, yourself. Why would they do such a manifestly insane thing? Is there something I don't know? What did I miss? What did I do wrong? What do I do now?

Democrats cannot meaningfully internalize that they are the party of the privileged and the elite, by their own philosophy they are themselves the enemy, they write a blank check for the most lurid excesses of anti-colonial violence and call it "exhilarating" without dealing with the fact that given their assumptions, in this society, they are the power and not the resistance

But it's hard to ask yourself these kinds of questions and most people don't have the nerve for it, and so what we see instead, in another little paradox of human nature, is they're going to blame not the ravisher but the spouse

TL;DR, self-examination is hard, so now Democrats hate Latinos
