I personally think that Harry would not want to lose to Draco even in a involuntary game of gay chicken

it's a bit niche bc it is a military propaganda fandom but my version of "he wouldn't say that" that I see the most in fanfic is "he wouldn't panic that easily"

Cory's plan to basically have him and America downplay each other to others is a waste of time. They've been too open about their flirtmance for anyone to seriously buy that. People might actually resent them further for attempting to play in their face.

Cory wants the middle, but then he also wants to keep America with him for as long as possible. But America, at her core, is not a middle player, and she definitely doesn't have the social capital to play that type of game anymore. They're just gonna use that as more confirmation that she's a liar.

His mother forgetting him holy fuck that's even worse😭😭

Not only he can't see her, his mother also doesn't remember him and he has no way of knowing if she's safe or not under a tyrant's rule in addition to them losing Rhys, how much more trauma can one shadow boy take

But you know, Rhys sacrificed so much, so no harm done! Nobody will be angry or upset with him. The end :-)

Listen. We know his name is really Albert Crossman. It fits in with the Dark Elf naming patterns too well. But he's also the prince, so we know why we can't CALL HIM Prince Albert.

...Or if you don't, good for you, I'll wait for the curiosity to consume you.

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.

When your head is in the clouds, it's good to have a friend who's a lot more grounded.

It really keeps surprising me how much people except primary care or emergency care to be a 24/7 liquor shop or a Mcdonalds drive thru... even if money wasn't an issue, we simply don't have the people to make that happen

how come degrowth is hot except for medicine, which has to be accesible on demand all the time?

more explanation under the cut

I think that so far, Soap has clearly demonstrated himself to be the more emotionally intelligent one of the pair, but it doesn't mean he doesn't still get frustrated at times. He's also just an emotional guy, and is working himself up a bit. This is a difficult topic for him to want to remain calm over, and there's a lot of factors contributing to his reaction.

One big factor is that he is a werewolf and he sees things through the eyes of his human side and wolf side. The shades of grey that Ghost sees in the Mexico operation just isn't there for Soap - to him, Ghost's 'pack' was under attack and he successfully defended it (this 'pack instinct' is something he shares with Price). The fact that his wolf now considers Ghost his in some way also contributes to his upset over having to read about what happened to him in such a clinical way. Werewolves can be kind of irrationally territorial, and although Soap is used to reading reports just like this, the fact that it's concerning Ghost (in probably the most vulnerable state of his life) is raising his hackles.

It's not a fight, because at the end of the day, Soap isn't mad at Ghost, just at his circumstances. But he's basically just asserting some emotional boundaries here with Ghost (who is, for what it's worth, I'd say a bit surprised and mostly bemused here.)
