The left SUCKS at recruiting people. And so many of you are part of the problem.

The talk about centrists and moderates being the literal devil I see constantly in online leftist spaces is one great example of the left's failure. Yes, it sucks when the people don't see how horrible the right is. But centrists are some of the most open people to discussion- and some already lean left!!

You can't demonize moderates to such an extent that you close yourself off to them and then wonder why you're losing swing states.

Centrists aren't even always people with all the privileges- you will find plenty of people who are part of marginalized groups who are concerned about politicians on all sides.

You can be a smol radical leftist bean all you want who only talks to other smol socialist and communist beans, but you're never going to make the difference you want to in the world that way. It's the cold, hard truth. It doesn't mean you have to engage in discourse with everyone- some people have no real hope of changing and are emotionally draining- just more than your bubble.

I am tired of the left eating itself alive and deranged people like Trump winning.

Jason being the easiest kid is super funny. Bruce looking at Jason and remembering Dick at 18: “we can work through this. He’ll come around if I don’t give up on.”

Bruce, watching over a freshly street-snatched Jason: Why is he so calm

Having Dick as the rambunctious, feral, and unhinged first child must've given him SO much whiplash once Jason entered the picture. Lil guy just vibed in his own world. Just reading books and doing schoolwork. Baby Jason hurt nobody.

Bruce will just be going over the ground rules of the manor, remembering all the chaos Dick brought upon the household.

Bruce: No swinging from the chandelier.

Jason: ?? I wasn't planning to?

Bruce: No murder.

Jason: What? That never even crossed my mind-

Bruce: And please, for the love of God, don't sneak out and try to beat up the nearest criminal on our block

Jason:

Jason: WHO is responsible for these rules being created??

Bruce will just come home from a long day of work. He's tired and just wants a nice, quiet evening, but he's subconsciously psyching himself up to prepare himself for the chaos he'll witness once he enters the manor

but then Jason's just quietly doing his own thing, maybe even helping Alfred with some chores, reading, or just lounging about in the manor. In general, just causing no trouble and Bruce just turns to Alfred, all worried like, "Is he sick? I don't think children are supposed to behave this way."

#Bruce putting 'No chandeliar swinging' before 'No murder' speaks volumes of the battles he's faced #baby jay was just a lil guy :')#Bruce having a wholesome relationship with jason from the very start: I didnt know this was possible #Bruce and robin!jason were so soft like please read the 80s comics they were SO cute fnksjvkosk #Dick visiting for the very first time since he left home: Why the FUCK is it so peaceful here #Dick not being angry about Jason becoming robin but instead being angry that his new brother isnt driving Bruce up the wall:#'are you even WORTHY of being my successor?? WHERE is your drive?'#jason todd #bruce wayne #batman #red hood #robin!jason #dick grayson #nightwing #batfam #batdad #batfamily #batkids #incorrect quotes #dc #crack #fanatical asks #fanatical posting #sidenote anon i am so sorry for not answering this earlier i always forget to check my asks ;-;

FUCKING STOP IT

I've been seeing an influx of posts trying to tell you not to vote Harris. Please, for the love of fuck, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. If you are making these posts out of some sense of morality or honor, PLEASE STOP.

Look, I get it. I live in the heart of the empire. It sickens me to my core to see the US funding genocide... again.

You Will Not Be Able To Stop It. You absolutely will never again be able to even try to stop it if Trump wins.

THERE IS ONLY ONE FEASIBLE OPTION AGAINST TRUMP, AND THAT IS HARRIS.

Everyone talking about "Blue MAGA" this and "They're the leopards-eating-faces party too" that... You're forgetting something.

Under Trump, everyone who wants positive change? Everyone who wants to put up a fight and try to change the empire?

They'll all go down swinging.

When everyone who's willing to fight goes down swinging, who will be left to fight?

If Trump wins, I and many others, many of whom will have been community organizers, will have to leave the country for our own safety. Censorship laws will be put in place regardless of "free speech" that will allow Trump and his ilk to have us thrown in prison forever, or just killed right away.

If Trump wins, so do all genocidal states.

A win for Trump is a loss for the world.

Accelerationism hurts more people than it helps.

The "revolution" will die before it can begin under Trump.

Don't help him win by pulling votes away from the only candidate for presidency with a chance against him.

#7 #rant #us politics #trump #harris #VOTE #FUCKING VOTE #if we all go down swinging there will be nobody left to fight #stop turning into single-issue voters. that's for conservatives.#I'm so fucking tired

when loving you is actively putting someone in danger and you feel so deeply unloveable that you think it's all for nothing and that they're stupid and naive for even trying

to catch a falling star

#final fantasy vii #final fantasy 7 #ffvii #ff7 #cid highwind #vincent valentine #valenwind #my art #genuinely!! kind of v proud of this one fellas!!!#the original version was the right hand one (falling/catching) but bc of the perspective you couldn't really tell vincent was falling #so i liked how the left side version looked too in a descending/catching kind of way. so u get both #my friend said he liked both versions bc it made him think of a tarot card and i will be chasing that high #anyway shout out to the tenebris ad astra project for existing bc it finally gave me the power of inspiration for the first time in months #i tried to mix vincent's hair between the dirge style and remake style. idk if it worked but fuck it we ball #i forgot a tag. i am moonlight elegy on twt #(its meant to be next to the my art tag)#swings back in here to mention its hard to see but it is v important that vincent has hip dips. thank u

❗❗Official Class Swap Sorcerer!Kristen Post Alert❗❗ you can: look at her

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fhjy #kristen applebees #fh class quangle #sorcerer!kristen is uh. Not Home Anymore! she's been couch surfing along with jawbones before freshman year #I think this kinda falls into a slight teen-witch-esque approach which I do like #since I've been pulling from like. matilda and pippi longstocking for these designs. the Exceptional Little Girls kinda genre #it does make her look younger than her peers which I do like. I feel like a big part of sorcerer!kristen's deal is that she's never #taken seriously. frequently treated like she doesn't know what's good for her. fellow adhd havers make some noiseee #but! upon review I feel like there's also a kinda ms. frizzle turn to her design? which like. awesome thats the lesbianism nailed babeyy #the fuckoff giant thermos as arcane focus is a homage to pete conlan but also crucially #if you swing that thing by the cord I think you can take off someone's head easy. I think that's the important thing #her cargo shorts are not of holding but functionally Everything is in there. scrunchies pencils spare gold chapsticks paperclips multitools #tbh I personally love the progression in her design lol she starts out like ''oh this young girl is a bit unkempt'' and #becomes ''oh this person is insane'' by junior year which is really awesome imo. I love that #its just fig left! I mean her freshman year design is pretty much set for me. I just need to figure out the rest #gorgug is kinda aerith in junior year I wonder if I can softly turn fig tifa-ward lol... ooh I have ideas now. this is gonna be fun #but for now. enjoy evening! may we all make like lizard and enjoy sun

I’m a little obsessed with hsr’s mc so far cause she literally only has two modes:

1) imma smack you with this cone thing I just found

And

2) Literal wet dog. Dead in the eyes. Just done with everybody else’s shit from minute 0. Got dumped in the middle of a spaceship with no memories, no past or explanation, and now everyone’s trying to kill her at every turn. Just straight up not having a good a time.
