They think he won’t deport them because they aren’t committing crimes. Don’t call us when they do because imma be at home eating popcorn while they do it. my outrage is dead. I’m just laughing at you’re suffering like ha ha

One thing I just thought of bc family feelings for clones are Complicated™️ and don’t exactly go the typical family dynamic route people think of is the Clone Baby thing happening and, well sure Tim sees it as his kid bc his mindset is about taking responsibility for what he caused and caring for it like an intense helicopter parent, Kon just holds that baby in his arms awkwardly like “Baby brother! 😃” and repeats the cycle of getting a clone that’s only partially you and considering it like a brother that Clark started with himself.

Tim is… not fine about a lot of things, but he’s fine about how Kon copes with the ordeal he comes back to life to and keeps parenting the consequences of his own actions while Kon is happy to have a baby brother he dotes on like crazy, bringing them to all sorts of typical childhood experiences and interactions he missed out on himself and being the best older brother about it. (Especially if he considered Jon a lil brother but he’s aged up like in canon so this is Kon actually being able to enjoy that the second time around)

Idk man, I like the fucky family dynamics

Bless that trophy wife anon because they’re right. There’s no way mindscape citizens see whatever dipper does in the real world as a real career and he has no job in bill’s realm either, whether he likes it or not he’s entwined with bill’s world and his people and he can’t blame them for thinking his job is being bill’s husband.

That’s what pisses him off, the fact that they’re right.

No matter how Dipper protests that yes, he DOES have a job, the beings in the Fearamid don't believe it's 'real', or worse - humor him, then give Knowing Looks to the other demons in the room.

Meanwhile, Bill knows it's real - but sometimes he plays along like it isn't just to piss Dipper off.

There's always going to be a 'good' reason to hate Jewish people and attack them. That's what antisemitism is, it's not 'senseless' hate, it's hate that tries to justify itself over and over and over and over again. You're not special bc you think your hatred is righteous, or because you've slapped a new label ("""anti-zionist""") on ancient bigotry. If anything you're basic as fuck. You're part of a long tradition of hateful bigots who also thought Jewish folks were the cause of all the world's problems.

"But this time we're right." Go fuck yourself. Are you going to keep that energy for fascist America? Will you attack any and all Americans you come across for the crime of being American? Will you be vying for American blood? Will you make it unsafe to be American on this platform? Oh, no? Well, then, shut the fuck up.

for the record your mom's first cousin isn't your aunt, she's your first cousin once removed. her kids are your second cousins.

your aunts are your parents' sisters, or the wives of your parents' siblings.

english doesn't make much distinction between the paternal and maternal relations and is weirdly inconsistent about how relations-by-marriage work, but it's got a nice precise numerical coordinate system for the consanguinity of cousins. it's all based on nearest shared ancestor; very scientific; you can tell genealogists got involved.

unfortunately as a result hardly anybody understands how to apply it.

Hey so I’ve mentioned this a lot of times on my main blog, but I wanted to put this out over here since it is Hallow’s Eve. I always give out little tchotchkes on Halloween along with candy. This year, I’ve completely switched over to 100% doohickeys and doodads— think mechanical pencils, shaped erasers, little notebooks, squishes, vampire teeth and spiders rings and all. It started years ago in college when I signed up for a dorm Halloween event where kids from an area that was too dangerous to really trick or treat through got bussed in to trick or treat at our dorm. I bought some candy and dollar store Halloween themed stuff with what i had. And you know what the kids went ape shit over?

Motherfucking. Mechanical. PENCILS!!

These kids could not get enough of them. They literally went “PENCILS??!” I had never seen kids get so hyped up for pencils lmao. They were the first things to go. Candy is fleeting; the little pencils you can bring to school to flex are eternal, until you inevitably lose one of the refill parts and then they aren’t but listen, in that one moment they are infinite. And its nice thinking that maybe some kids who don’t always have access to school supplies not only get them, but get them in fun shapes and designs.

Anyway. I recommend people to give out fun stuff like this not just because kids seem to genuinely enjoy them, but also because there’s this thing called the Teal Pumpkin Project here in America. You can put out a teal pumpkin to show that you are giving away non-candy items and sign your address up so parents of children with allergies know that there are houses their kids can safely and happily trick or treat at! It’s a win-win! Plus, if you accidentally bought too much, it’s not like candy— just pack it away, pencils and fidget spinners will be good next year, too! :)

spirk amok time walked so scarian third life could run and now they both go jogging together in the desert send tweet

[splashtailstar]

Despite figuring out all the ways that certain cats are related, I don't actually really care about incest in the Warriors series. I just like figuring out the family tree because it's fun.

im just flabbergasted that californians voted the opposite of me in most propositions on the ballot. we voted NOT to abolish prison slavery. we voted against a minimum wage increase. we voted against rent control despite skyrocketing housing costs and homelessness. we increased penalties for nonviolent theft and drug crimes (walking back a measure that lowered them to misdemeanors and saved taxpayers untold amounts and kept people out of prison). we voted to punish an HIV/aids healthcare nonprofit and restrict how it spends its money (a measure brought onto the ballot by landlords and housing developers as retaliation for that org supporting housing related causes like the rent control measure). just about the only progressive thing that passed was the repeal of the same-sex marriage ban we passed in 2008 (my first election, where i obviously voted no. "no on h8!" poor teen me; if only you knew what was coming). note we do not actually have enshrined same sex marriage (yet...? <- the question mark wouldn't have been there before i saw the 2024 election results).

this is one of the more progressive states, right? i am astounded at how many californians voted against our own interests and the interests of our citizens. is everyone a landlord? is everyone rich? does everyone have stakes in prison slavery? we couldn't say no to slavery. actual slavery.

this. this is real life.

i feel like grimes clowntweeting musk "this isnt your heart" when. of course. obviously this is the ugly beating heart of a state, and a nation, founded on violence, subjugation of the other, and bigotry.

california hasn't answered for the violent mission system, and the native tribe in my area, the tongva, are not federally recognized and their lands and sacred sites are routinely violated. as children in the public school system we had lessons on the california missions and how they "converted" and "anglicized" the natives, making it sound like spanish colonization was a quaint settlement of ranchos where the natives and the spanish worked side by side to make california a "civilized" place. we built models of our favorite missions and wrote cute little reports and took field trips to these sites where uncounted people, kidnapped from their families and used as slave labor by the spanish, are still buried in unmarked graves. craft stores sold model kits of these sites. we have streets named after and statues depicting the colonizer who led the charge. in 2015 he was made a saint by the catholic church. after one of the missions was intentionally set on fire (and after a statue of the saint/colonizer was toppled) many local latinos mourned the damage of a building where countless people, some of them their own ancestors, suffered, because that's where they attended church or got married or baptized.

not to mention more recent history. our beloved dodgers who won the world series this year have their home stadium built on land seized from poor mexican american families. "chavez ravine" is the former neighborhoods of la loma, bishop, and palo verde. families who had been pushed to the poor neighborhood by racism and redlining, and thus had nowhere else to go, were violently forced out of their homes for a baseball stadium. and now their descendants wear blue caps and set off fireworks for the franchise that makes millions off of them and gives nothing back to the community (besides financial support to one of the most violent police departments in the country... and a statement in support of israel's genocide...)

this is a picture from the LA Times in 1959 showing aurora vargas, one of the very last holdouts of the battle for "chavez ravine," getting carried out of her family home by LA sherrifs deputies. i remember this image whenever my fellow poor or working class latinos spend $$$ on dodgers merch or paint dodgers murals or celebrate in the streets when they win games.

as i get older and grow more and feel more empathy and learn about our real history, i get more radical, not less. it doesn't make sense to me that my community is getting more hateful and conservative, but there is an obvious basis for it. it's ingrained, despite a popular perception of working and middle class californians being liberal and accepting. it feels like i'm fighting against a riptide. my uncle, an immigrant with dark skin who speaks broken english, is a trump supporter, and i only found out today. do i even have the right to be surprised or disappointed?

i am obviously going to retain hope, and fight where i can, when i can. i just have to be mindful of where i come from and what we are capable of when we are enmeshed in and misled by powerful, deep-seated forces on this blood-soaked land.

They tried so hard

I warned them that we are remodeling, and the place is a mess. Not one word about the mess, you understand? Not. One. Word.

Okay, they agreed meekly.

They had such good intentions. They bit their lips at the sight of boxes in the living and dining rooms. They were delighted by Craftorama room. The newly hung curtains brought them joy.

Then they saw the office. And Iris. And they broke.

"OMG why do you have so many dolls?!?"

Because they are pretty, and they make me happy.

"I hope you are going to sell them all! For a profit!"

No. I am not in the business of selling dolls. This is a hobby. I'm keeping them.

"I could tell you where to put all your stuff!"

It's time for you to leave now.

Meanwhile, Spouse: "Why TF would we ask YOU where to put OUR stuff in OUR house?!?"

[fuckassbobdylan]

im going to say something really mean. why are like all the people on here who are convinced theyre going to have to flee the country bc of genocidal antisemitism in the near future converts.

[beanmaster-pika]

Yknow? With the Xianzhou’s curse of the Abundance and the issues they faced with overpopulation and stagnation because of the undying before they began walking the path of the Hunt, there probably isn’t a ton of cultural pressure to get married and have kids which is absolutely wild considering how leaving behind descendants and the continuation of your bloodline is a whole big thing in Chinese culture

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

will you shut the fuck up? what if the shit doesn't hit the fan? what if we do make it? what if you don't die? can you have a little hope? just have a little hope

[n4rval]

I LOVE YOUR PFP thank you that is all <3

HI FREAK thank you! here's the entire thing for future reference on this post.

it is a rather small picture, so i figured i'd hold off on posting it until i managed to compile a couple more self insert illustrations to go along with it. oh well

[pinay12204]

Percy : so you're descended from scandinavian or VIKING royalty?

Annabeth : Yeah , why?

Percy : soooo is Hiccup from How to train your dragon you great×34 Grandfather? 🤣

Annabeth : No, actually he is my great×45 Grandfather. We are actually descended from him on his eldest daughter's side meaning if I existed during those times I would be the heir to the throne and become chieftess.

Percy: 😮

Annabeth : Oh and Astrid Hofferson? THE ASTRID HOFFERSON THE FEARLESS in How to train your Dragon? Yep , she is my great×45 Grandmother

Percy: *Shocked* so is toothless a family friend?

Annabeth : Yep and I may or may not be allowed to tame a dragon until I am 20 years old, atleast thats what my dad told me

Percy: 😲😲😳

[ashlynnshoecloset]

i recently rewatched descendants and you really don’t realize how much better ever after high is until you compare them side by side.
