i have to be so real. sometimes you have to outright not give a shit what the author thinks. i’m not saying to disregard how a character is portrayed and give into fanon characterisations but sometimes i will see fans be like “(head writer) omggg do you think this character is a good person?” “how would this character react if xyz happened?” as though that’s not a question you can and have to answer for yourself.! any character can contain multitudes and if you keep limiting your perception of them solely on word of god its not fun for the writer or even yourself anymore. THINK FOR YOURSELF. INVENT NEW WAYS TO FUCK YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS OVER

It can’t just be “I love you” with gay people it always has to be some shit like “I’ll go with you. That’s what the Jeager pilots do, share the neural load.” I can’t stand it

Unlocking the Power of Fonofale: How Pacific Health & Education Can Benefit – Part 2

Check out this video with Pale Sauni and Saylene Ulberg Fonofale is a holistic approach to health and education Here’s a summary of this short talanoa with Pale and Saylene which is part of our short series on Pacific Cultural Centredness In this clip we continue our discussion of the Fonofale model and how it is important to consider all its dimensions, not just one. The Fonofale is seen as a…

Question, is jazz controlling his mech from the chest or is he like, located in the head? Chest would make sense I think if you compare it to gundam and such but head is sorta like a brain replacement? Plus there is the huge visor he could potentially look through?

I think it needs to be chest because. Hear me out

Normal reason - the thickest armor - the best possible protection for pilot

My honest reason - JUST IMAGINE how freaky it would be for Prowl to see Jazz get FUCKING DECAPITATED and keep fighting after it. Just imagine

The reaction I'm seeing to the LA fires on social media is DISGUSTING, have some of you no compassion?

Not everybody who lives in LA is rich or a celebrity or a CEO. We're people of all different backgrounds and incomes, and to categorize one of the country's biggest populations under "rich" removes all of that

Furthermore, hi, PEOPLE'S HOUSES ARE BURNING DOWN. DO YOU GET THAT?? THEIR HOMES ARE BURNING DOWN

It's not about whether they have the money to immediately make a new one (remember that majority of people in LA county do not), it's about the fact that their entire livelihoods are disappearing right before their eyes and they can't do anything about it. Those memories are gone in an instant

Even if someone isn't being directly affected, they feel it in other ways. The air quality is extremely bad, everyone is smelling the smoke and seeing the flames

To generalize all of this and say "well only the rich are affected" and you having no sympathy whatsoever for that is disgusting. Shame on you

Missing my beloved Pacific Rim characters

[rebeccathenaturalist]

For those following the Chinook Indian Nation's work toward regaining federal recognition, this is an important endorsement. I posted a while back about a petition for the state of Washington to give the now-closed Naselle Youth Camp to the Chinook. The NYC is on unceded Chinook land, and specifically the portion of land the Chinook asked to retain almost two centuries ago as part of an unfulfilled treaty with the U.S. government.

A state task force formed to determine the fate of the NYC has officially recommended the NYC be given to the Chinook Indian Nation. Not only would this put the facility into the hands of people who will make excellent use of it, but the Chinook have also stated their intention to restore the on-site wastewater treatment facility and salmon hatchery. The former would additionally be a boon to the entirety of Pacific County, which currently ships its wastewater all the way to Centralia, WA, over 100 miles away from southern portions of the county.

If the NYC is indeed given to the Chinook, this will be an important statement that can be used to pressure the U.S. government to restore their federal recognition. To find out ways you can help the Chinook in this effort, please visit ChinookJustice.org.

pacific rim activates neurons in your brain if you're autistic it's literally real

imo a core part of the newmann dynamic is like... you've got these two very very intelligent people who have spent most of their lives being Smartest Guy In The Room. which feels great! but also, it's very hard to form close and trusting relationships when everyone else sees you as Smartest Guy In The Room. and if you maybe don't have great social skills to begin with, you can't figure out how to compensate. and it's hard to build up solid self-esteem when the only thing people value you for is your intelligence, and a lot of them resent you for that, too. so really it is very very lonely.

and then they meet! and neither of them is the smartest guy in the room anymore! and that is both EXHILIRATING (omg! someone who gets me!) and TERRIFYING (the fragile pillar i built my whole self-esteem on is crumbling! help!).

they do NOT know how to cope with this. best they can do is being obsessed with each other.

I haven't literally felt this sickened about a character ending since Azula's entire character ended with her chained to a grate and crying and screaming without her brother even lifting her finger to uh, give her a fucking hug or something.

Kept Secret

The 00 locker room had little room for modesty. 002 took a ribbing about the scratches down her sides, grinned, and said she'd given as good as she got with her feisty pick-up last night. 006 showed off the hickies in a line down his navel and noted that his partner knew how to take what they wanted. 008 didn't say anything, only rubbed the ache out of the small of their back and smirked at the friendly catcalls.

---

Q, listening in because 002 had mentioned Q Branch before the talk turned sexual, couldn't help but notice that Bond stayed quiet. Even though they'd spent what he had thought was a brag-worthy night together yesterday.

Had Bond not been as satisfied as Q had thought? Or was Bond ashamed, maybe because Q was a man, or a pasty nerd, or...?

---

Bond, listening to the other 00s chatting about their hook-ups, smiled to himself. Anyone could have a fun night in; he had had a night in with Q, who knew his name and his number and everything he regretted and was proud of, and who was a snarky delight in and out of bed.

He had already planned to repeat those nights together until he got to retirement, if he lived until then, at which point he and Q would, he hoped, be able to schedule something a little more long-term.

If he lived. If he didn't shuffle off in some foreign land while doing terrible things.

Eleven more months. Bond didn't want to jinx it; he kept his mouth shut.
