#I'm not an ambassador for the A's

[briarmae]

Autistic, asexual, and aromantic. I'm proud of my identity, but small talk and explaining it are *exhausting*.

I fly a progress flag at my work; I'll say I'm aroace to people in the community or the people closest to me, but I just call myself queer to the rest of the world. ("Nah, I'm not actually into dudes," when it's a question only about men. I don't want to deny I'm part of the lgbtqia+ community! And it sounds so much funnier and lighthearted than the other options)

I owe no one my alphabet, but I've known I was part of the community way before I found out about the aroace spectrum.

WHY IS LWAXANA TROI ON DS9 AND WHY IS SHE TRYING TO FUCK ODO

Headcanon du jour: What if most Vulcan’s aren’t massively bigoted space racists?

The majority Vulcans we’ve met have essentially been Vulcan Royalty. You know, the institution which, here on Earth, is notorious for being bigoted, backwards, and inbred. 

Tuvok and T’Lynn aren’t like that. 

But then, they’re not direct descendants of Surak, son of a galactically famous ambassador, born and raised in the capital city of Shi’Khar, heirs to a massive estate on the homeworld, and educated in schools where admission to the elite Vulcan Science Academy is taken for granted. 

Spock is the adult Vulcan equivalent of Prince Archie, if Harry hadn’t left The Institution.

Of COURSE we get flashbacks of Vulcan kids bullying Spock! The Learning Center is equivalent to the sort of British Boarding School where they sent King Charles. These places are meant to break kids. They’re all about exclusivity and maintaining the elite status quo. After all, maintaining tradition is only logical, and holy shit do Vulcans love their rituals - even if those rituals include hardcore school bullying. 

Look at how the British royal family and media treat Meghan Markle. Now look at how all the Vulcans in Spock’s orbit treat Amanda Grayson. If Amanda had married a nice Vulcan biologist somewhere out in the colonies no one would have cared, but no, she married the single most high profile Vulcan Royalty of his generation. Plenty of Vulcans were no doubt jealous she snatched up that prize of a bondmate, then masked it as criticizing his choice for being “illogical in the extreme.” 

I like to think that most Vulcans are just out there living their best IDIC lives. 

Meanwhile, the S’chn T’gai family is out there living by Royalty Rules in everything they do. 

Mutiny? Pshaw. Our great grandmother T’Pau knows a guy who knows a guy who will make the paperwork disappear. Stealing a ship? Well, the family could buy it outright, but that would be gauche. Starting a cult? Sybok is a direct descendant of Surak himself. Who better to lead a revolution?

zutara is my very favourite dynamic because they're just judgy bitch besties together. stupid shenanigans duo. impulsive yelling duo. sokka is like 90 percent of their impulse control so when he's gone they go haywire. this is even canon sokka leaves them alone for one minute and suddenly they're off to kill a guy. good for them. let them be crazy besties together, striking fear into the hearts of sexist cunts

VERY OBVIOUS MY HERO ACADEMIA CHAPTER 427 SPOILERS

So... I guess Deku's ending the series quirkless. Honestly, I think that's perfect.

I'm sure we've all seen the memes of Fast Food Izuku, but, if you actually thought about it for a sec, Deku becoming an ambassador of peace is kind of an amazing ending. I feel like the thesis of BNHA (at the very least from MVA and onwards) was the idea of a hero society was contributing in pushing the cycle of violence and brutality that hurt everybody that was considered abnormal. All Might both redefined the idea of a hero and killed the idea of altruism just by existing in his prime.

It's kind of why I love Deku's very last costume (I'm presuming).

For a while, I wondered why the Final War suit was throwing me off so much. I finally found out it's because that costume purposefully makes itself almost iconic. I made a post on an old account about how Deku's character progresses through his costume and how the more iconic the costume becomes, the closer Deku is getting to his arc being completed. What I specifically love about this rendition is that I believe Horikoshi is saying that he isn't fighting Shiggy as Deku, he's fighting him as Izuku.

That all being said, I do wish that the manga presented Deku sacrificing OFA in a more FMAB "Good job! Be satisfied! You made the right choice!" type of vibe, but that's coming from the guy that unironically wanted a "yeah, and that was My Hero Academia" to be the last line.

I'm fine with him magically getting a quirk, but there's a part of me that really hopes that he becomes an ambassador of peace. That seems more narratively fulfilling.

Katara traveled the world because she was the last Southern waterbender. She's the one who fought Pakku and stole the waterbending scroll. She brought the Southern Water Tribe back into the world.

Sokka's the one who learned how the North made its buildings and how hot air balloons worked. He brought the world back to the Southern Water Tribe.

That is to say, I'm a Chief Katara truther.

palestine is a wake up call to all the people in the global south and all countries and peoples that have experienced colonialism by western empires. especially following the western world's response to ukraine.

when you're flooded with footage of children starving, their bodies shredded by missiles, shrapnel and collapsed buildings, when you see once vibrant, beautiful lands reduced in seconds to rubble . . . you realize how easy it is to provoke a white man. all you have to do is a be a person of colour on your land with all its natural resources. that's it. all you have to do is exist on the same soil as your ancestors. and if a white man says you're in the way of his expansion, it doesn't matter what moral ethics you think white people have. it really doesn't matter what you expect of a human being. what conscience you think they have.

you will die. no one will rescue you. they will murder you. torture you. they will justify it. they will make jokes about it. and years later, when it's not too inconvenient for their people to feel guilt, they will feel sorry and still make what they did to you about them. about their "human complexity" and their "nuance." your people will be dead for thousands of years before they "apologize" (not to you but) to their descendants. and even then they'll lie. they'll blame the "internal conflicts of the region." conveniently leaving out who supplies the guns and military gangs. why. what they get in return.

what's happening in congo, tigray, palestine, haiti, iran, afghanistan, etc is not an isolated event. you cannot afford to think so. it's literally what they did from the 17th-20th centuries. the exact same tactics. the exact same propaganda. these are millions of people dying and set up to die within this year alone.

white man sees resource, white man cuts a bloody path toward it. he is superior, so it's his right. it's that simple.

if you are self-righteous about politics (especially toward western empires like france, britain, russia, canada and the u.s., etc.) please understand that the only thing between your "peaceful" or stable country and all-out war is how agreeable you are to the demands of these empires. please don't think these people have evolved or will consider you in any way. they will nuke you, too, if you resist. that isn't peace. we don't have peace with them. they aren't peaceful. complying under threat of war isn't peace. coercion is not consent.

if these insane people can hear from the mouths of their own scientists that their wars are killing their own people and accelerating the death of life on this planet, i don't know why you'd think they have a shred of humanity left in them. that there's anyone in this life they could possibly care for.

reject that lie. that you can appeal to their humanity. how many fucking "peace talks" have we had since hitler? for fucks sake. begin to build your community and focus your aid and efforts on each other. be aware, but also think smaller. focus on local businesses and markets rather than imports. let's change the way we consume (this is hugely important). wherever you are, whichever people concern you, take care of your own communities. give back. even if you're part of the diaspora. just find a way to give back and strengthen your communities. don't let "the drain" empty out in the west. i'm not claiming its simple work, or that i have all the answers. i'm just saying increase your awareness of how these empires and their propaganda function and don't give into them however you can afford to. you know what you can do. you know your own communities and countries better than i do. and we all know that one of the prime ways the empires keep us weak is by destroying or own intracommunity solidarity.

because there is no UN we can appeal to. there is no western "mediator" we can rely on.

they'd kill us all if it wouldn't tank their economy.

internalize that. don't ever let them coax any trust out of you. there is no "international unity" we can have with them because their prosperity will always require our suffering. resist, at least, by reclaiming your mind from them. see them outside of how they have conditioned you to see them. every time your president shakes one of their hands, see the blood smearing them.

don't trust a single word out of their dirty, lying mouths.
