taking all my american followers by the shoulders. listen to me. just because you have a more promising candidate now doesn't mean you just assume it's going to be fine and don't bother voting. assuming trump wasn't going to win is how you got here in the first place so you go out and fucking vote for harris and give everyone a fighting chance.
also if you're still in the 'they're both as bad as eachother' delirium, please take your head out from between your cheeks and consider that your options are an imperfect president and the literal worst person alive who is going to get masses of people killed. i've said it like this before, but it's like deciding between maybe getting food poisoning or definitely having a brain aneurysm. take your pick i guess but don't be surprised when you drop dead.

I've never been truly able to get on board with "if you go far enough left, you get your guns back" because I genuinely just don't think we should be mass producing weapons that can facilitate mass murder at the scale we do. like, sure, I'm not against the principle of "marginalised people and activists should have the same access to weaponry that others do, especially for protection in a state of fascism" but I just. we only have these things as a result of the military industry, finding the most efficient ways to kill. these things should never have been made. we shouldn't be producing assault rifles for mass consumption, we shouldn't be producing them at all.
so like. sure. if you go far enough left you get your guns back, I guess. but I think that's a short-sighted and disingenuous way to phrase it, when I would assume that the more "radical" leftist stance is something more akin to global demilitarisation and the cessation of mass-production of weapons (alongside a lot of other garbage made for mass consumption under capitalism - we need to de-industrialise production on a major global scale).
(I don't necessarily mean getting rid of guns "completely" because people will always find ways to engineer them, but I think there is a massive difference between a gun designed for responsible hunting or sport vs a gun designed to kill people as fast as possible, or to be wielded as a threat the way cops do.)
idk. obviously this is a very future-focused perspective and I guess the "far enough left etc." crowd are usually talking more in the present. I just have concerns that this particular piece of rhetoric encourages some leftists to be less critical of the weaponry industry than perhaps we should be.

what if Umbridge took over in CoS... Percy, leading a student revolution: Alright, get ready to launch Operation: Circle of Confusion. Ron: Uh, Percy, it kinda looks more like a triangle from down here. Percy: What? Ron: I'm just saying, it doesn't look much a like a circle, it looks more like we're forming a triangle. Just a side note. Percy: Okay, fine, Triangle of Confusion! Rhombus of Terror! Parabola of Mystery! WHO CARES!? Get the goddamn show on the road!

You know the brainrot is bad when you get emotional while reading about the impact of coal and steam engines and it reminds you too much of gideon...

17 y/o Luffy @ the Paramount War: Man what is your problem, why are you coming after me so hard, I don't even know you!
Akainu, through angry tears and grit teeth: Your dad broke up with me over snailphone!

i know Nahyuta's whole thing is he's extremely calm and well-put together but i want this dude to be constantly under the threat of disintegrating. he definitely is calm and put together SURE and that is a core element of him no matter what (and i like that about him!) but i also like the idea of, once he no longer has to be that perfect person to survive, that the reality of everything, all his anxieties n guilt n discomfort with himself comes crashing in when it's finally safe for him to feel this way. a miserable kind of catharsis, but a catharsis nonetheless. a necessary one for him to unravel the real version of himself he had to keep deep inside. do you understand my vision

Okay finally got back to reading The Lost Hero and got to the part where Hera tells Jason in his dream that Zeus locked down Olympus because the gods got "too involved with mortals" which-
Honestly that's gotta be the FUNNIEST thing I ever heard because????
No the fuck you don't 😂
Like let's all be real here the only thing that changed in terms of "level of involvement" of the gods is that y'all have to claim your kids now. I mean I know I shouldn't be surprised that Zeus would consider claiming your kids before abandoning them "too much involvement" but it is still HILAROUS how the gods manage to break the bar despite it being as low as humanly possible

oh my god, i am rereading cinder and i’m on chapter 38, and cinder is deciding if she wants to fight levana and this is cinder’s first thought, “if she didn’t stop levana, what would happen to kai? though she tried to stop the question it continued to plague her, echoing in her thoughts.” the fact that cinders first thought before she goes and breaks out of prison, starts a revolution and becomes queen, is to protect the only person who ever protected her. obviously, in the later books, this is not her only reasoning for claiming her throne, (except maybe when she kidnapped him) but the fact that this is her first thought when she thinking about fighting back is about protecting kai. kai, who defended her both verbally and physically from being abused by adri and pearl. who tried to save her life after he knew her identity, who tried to pull the gun away.

It's ten at night and I can't stop thinking about Dragon, Kuma and Iva founding the revolutionary army together and how close they were and a lot of fandom only speculated they were close by inference but it's basically canon that they were CLOSE, like those three are FRIENDS and that is just... that makes me so happy. I love that Iva has Dragon and Kuma, I love that Kuma has Dragon and Iva, I love that Dragon has Iva and Kuma. And I love that they all had a hand in training Sabo. He is their legacy 🥺 he is the revolutions legacy. He carries pieces from all of them. I am so emotional over the revs. They mean everything to me.

I also don't want to hear any bitching and moaning about how squidfans act when we can legit just be posting meta in our little corner with other squids and people will come out of the woodwork specifically to anon us to complain that they disapprove lmao
