I don't feel very interested in politics anymore, but I want to definitely define where I feel American politics went wrong (from my perspective as an 18 year old in Canada). Three words sum it up: Gingrich and Clinton. I'll explain in more detail.
Some people say Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan ruined America. I say they didn't help, but they weren't the true killers. They may have helped lead to the real killers, but they weren't it themselves.
No, the real killer was Bill Clinton. A moderate, Clinton rolled over and acquiesced to every demand conservatives in the republican party put on him. Instead of offering an opposition to Reagan's conservatism, Clinton dragged the Democratic Party far to the right to compete with the GOP. He's the reason America is so f***ed up. Him and Newt Gingrich made america what it is today. It's on them. The 90s were America's death knell.

ain’t nothing like your sociology graduate professor asking what you majored in your undergrad, and when you say ‘art practices’, you get a little ‘oh’ in response

It's interesting how Laios struggles to remember Kabru's name right away, yet is able to recall the feeling of his grip well enough to immediately understand that something isn't right (Kabru being cuffed)

Someone pointed out "Alex is the glass half full guy and Shane is the glass half empty but he's working on it guy" and so true.
I think Alex is a finger guns kind of guy and I have nothing to support this claim but I'm gonna stand my ground on it. (Alex also just kinda lost on if the blushing or the tearing up is more important and did HE PERSONALLY mess up saying this because he sure as heck doesn't know.)

Her name's Minnie (like the mouse)
As for her lore, shes a mad scientist basically. She has a weird ideology about science, considering it a form of art. A former researcher of the Fontaine Research Institute, she quit after she found hereelf misaligning with the way the institute handles itself. She now works as a freelancer that takes comissions on the go, her latest one being an offer given by Wriothesley regarding a particular secret project.
Her past is a little cloudy but she was once a member of high society, her mother a diplomat from Sumeru who settled in fontaine after marrying a noble from Fontaine. She's since been disowned by the family due to several complications. Not that she cares.
Whats her vision element? Geo? Anemo? Sike. Its Electro. Misdirection– its on the back of her jacket.

Was thinking about how much of a normo I come across as irl, how I’ve felt a lil odd person out at their shows bc of being a bit older (29) and looking so aggressively normal, how generally confused people in my life would be if they knew about my d&p obsession, how thoroughly i mask weirder traits and essentially codeswitch to suit the mainstream, etc.
i feel kind of fish out of water when I imagine how all the people that populate my tumblr phandom ecosystem are likely presenting to the world irl (I.e. more visibly queer, counterculture, and so on). But then I think maybe the most visible phannies are the ones with the most curated, alt, deliberate daytoday lewks/style? So maybe what I’m picturing is off base? But then I’m also basing this off of what audiences look like in audience footage, m&gs, etc.
Sooooooo i would like to know… do you guys feel like you present as someone who may be Deeply Online and obsessed with two gay nerds from the internet? Or do you hide it and fly under the radar, masking as a total normy and living a double life?
(To clarify I don’t mean you’re like out and about wearing the fringes boob sweatshirt lol I more mean vibes and overall lewk yk?)

I like to think that Ethan is just really attracted to weird people. I think Mia was always a weirdo in a way and that’s why he loves her. Also, Karl. Ethan likes a freak to make him seem like the normal one, bc next to the average person, Ethan would be the weirdo…..

Barbie from the Barbiverse could kill Macbeth. She's a woman (or technically, a doll, which also counts for the gender clause), and she seemed to come down from the sky at the beginning of the Barbie movie, qualifying her for the birth clause.
Yes, Barbara Handler AKA Barbie from the Barbie movie could kill Macbeth!
Being a woman created through little girls' imaginations, Barbie applies for the Gender Clause and the Unconventional Birth Clause! Thank you for your submission!

Elain week being so shipped focused that the fandom couldn't think of drawing or writing her having a cute tea party with her brother-in-laws or her going to the winter court and play with vivian's and kallias daughter or her and eris collect mushrooms in the autumn court literally anything that has nothing to do with either her love interests or her superficial attributes and hobbies sjm wrote for her

Out of the entire cast, who do you think would rock a hat the most? :o
Diavolo is not a valid option because of his gravity defying hat btw
HIII MELODYYY fancy seeing you here haha long time no see :D
so hear me out. i'd say lucifer BECAUSE he deserves a fun accessory! but seriously im sure he'd have to head down to the human world pretty often to get supplies for mc right, i feel like he'd probably get sunburnt so easily so a nice wide hat would really help!
i kinda wanna make it yellow cause that would be EXTRA fun, luci deserves some fun in his life
it can be a little pointy to match his personality and bring back some of the fun so there isnt too much, and the strip of black ribbon really ties it into his outfits
so maybe something like this? what do you think?

i was thinking about how i wished leverage had a birthday episode for some of the characters cause that would be sweet, but then i realised something and basically…. okay here’s my thoughts in quotes form, just for fun
hardison: so when’s your birthday? i could plan something for us and the team to do and-
parker: i dont know
hardison: you don’t know… your own birthday?
parker: no, how would i know? pshh, cmon, you’re telling me you remember EXACTLY when you were born? watch this - hey, eliot, do you know your exact birth date?
eliot, innocently passing by, who was canonically anonymously dropped off at a hospital as an infant: no, how would i know?
parker: that’s what i said!
hardison: excuse me?? what is going on right now
sophie, walking into the apartment: whats wrong?
hardison: parker and eliot- well, okay, when’s your birthday? i just have to prove something.
sophie: …….july 12th
hardison: why did you pause? wait, is that your birthday or sophie devereaux’s birthday?
sophie: ………… (guilty silence)
parker: see, no one knows their real birthday! haha you’re so weird sometimes, hardison
hardison:
hardison: what the fuck guys

Possible nicknames Lenore called Annabel in life go:
"Anniebell": Sometimes the smallest changes are the cutest, okay? Anniebell Lee sounds adorable as hell and I'll stick by it. Imagine Annabel trying to admonish Lenore for saying some wild shit at a Rich Persons Gala™️ or smth but she keeps breaking out into giggles like, "You- you can't just say that pet!" and Lenore playfully replying, "Oh whatever do you mean, Anniebell Lee?" like UGH I hate them somebody throw hammers at em already 💥💥🔨🔨🔨
“My moon”: in relation to the Annabel Lee poem (‘for the moon never beams/Without bringing me dreams/Of the wonderful Annabel Lee’) and also there’s smth so flavorful of the character with a color palette more akin to the Sun (long shiny blonde hair, warm colored eyes, seemingly more outwardly personality, etc) being called the moon like I loveee contrasting design choices‼️‼️
“Angel”: Also a reference to the poem (but like, worse because it was the angels that separated em) and can be easily pulled from Annabel’s name
“Petal”: Or some other variation of a flower based nickname because imma sad, sad bisexual who loves ✨flower motifs✨ just a bit too much
Anything in Dutch: This can be like common ones like “liefje” (darling) or the previous entries but in Dutch idk go crazy go stupid
“Locket”: An unconventional pick pulled from Annabel’s last name Whitlock + lockets containing pieces of hair from your other half being T H E romantic gesture of the century back then, so, like. Idk. Hear me out like okay I think Lenore could be the unconventional route (I mean girly already faked her death via arson and pulled a Mulan to get the girl soooo you see what I’m putting down?) and like like LIKKEEE⁉️⁉️⁉️ Imagine with me Lenore telling her girl, “You’re the locket I keep nearest to my heart” (many necklaces back then had a chain just long enough for the locket to rest above the wearer’s heart) and it evolves to Lenore calling Annabel smth like “my dearest, my locket” LIKE YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE WITH ME!!! GUYS MY VISION IS VISIONING!!! 🦅🗣️🌈🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🌈🗣️🦅🦅

The frustrating part about conversations like "should people with self-harm scars warn others before showing off their body?" and conversations like it is how nobody would tell me that my scars are obscene or should be hidden despite, literally, being self-harm scars. They just do not know because people literally do not know what self-harm scars are and what self-harm is.
Our bodies are not vulgar or gross. We deserve to live our lives, and if our scars make you uncomfortable, we can be compassionate about that, but that doesn't mean that our bodies are Bad and should be Locked Away. Treat us like we belong, because we do.
