#They're much sillier than I was feeling I don't know how I was able to make them look so light lol

[brazenautomaton]

I once again came across your post that claims communism is childish, and a result of an assumption that a person's immediate environment includes everything they're aware of, and furthermore that communists feel they should have direct control of everything within their immediate environment... and I have never felt like such a fool before.

When I read that around the time you first posted it I thought it was such a ridiculous post. I said to myself that yes some online communists might talk as though they believe something like this, but this post is vastly exaggerating the issue. I thought that any conversation with a communist who was a median level of clear sighted would make it obvious that such simplistic ideas are not the norm.

This is approximately what I would have thought until about mid October. That was when I was talking with other communists who I respected and trusted and they told me that being able to model or understand the behavior of other people is irrelevant, that being able to understand motivations or desires you don't personally share is irrelevant, because in a communist world the good communists will simply do everything that is correct and proper to do and prevent all other action.

Perhaps you're thinking now that of course those evil communists would kill everyone who disagreed with them as part of creating their utopia? This is something much sillier than that though, apparently people really believe that without force or negotiation a small cadre of communists will simply directly control the actions of everyone in the world. The fact that I didn't share this view seemed to just confuse people, as though nobody else there had even considered that there could be issues with this plan.

I recognized that many communists sucked even before starting to consider myself one, but I did not realize communists were literally lacking theory of mind, and relied upon delusions of omnipotence to make up for the difficulties in coordination that this creates.

I've never felt such despair for the future of this world. How can it be that everyone has such comically ridiculous beliefs?

I know they don't plan to kill everyone who doesn't fit in their utopia, they have the laziest world-model ever and just cannot imagine anything that isn't the most convenient thing being true.

they're so incredibly confident that everything will just be the most emotionally convenient thing possible, they end up in situations where killing people is the only way to maintain their narrative. they end up killing people because it's easier than thinking.

TOONTOWN HEADCANON LORE POST THINGY NUMBER 4 I THINK

Again, this is mostly centered around Toontown Corporate Clash, but could probably also apply to other Toontown imaginations and whatnot

Topic: Gags

TOONS

To Toons, they're toys, tools, jokes to laugh at, something that's harmless and can make you happy. They're essentially imbedded into Toon culture for obvious reasons. For as long as there have been Toons, there have been some sort of Gags along with them. And the Gags shown in-game are not the only ones, either. There are many other types of gags, as well as more gags within gag types (such as Drop, for example), that are not seen in-game. (I'm just gonna go ahead with the easy explanation and say that we only see the gags we see in-game for balancing reasons and whatnot) Using Gags, in the mind of most Toons, is really freaking fun!!! Whether it be against other Toons, against Cogs, or some other zany usage that you'd see in some cartoon, it's a great way for them to keep themselves happy and in tip top shape, thus keeping their Laff high. They're great at helping sad Toons get unsad, but will likely not be enough if the Toon is depressed or otherwise very unhappy. Case by case situation. Likewise, Toons who have distanced themselves from other Toons, or Toons that are otherwise pretty crabby, might not enjoy Gags as much as others, or might not feel their whimsy, joyful effects as much. This isn't necessarily indicative of a "Bad Toon" or "Evil Toon" or whatever, and they may still be just as joyful as other Toons are, but may show it/gain it in a different way. Like us humans, there's much variation in how Toons receive and show joy, and how they might react to Gags or other Toons.

SUITS

To Cogs, they're weapons. They confiscate them from defeated Toons to study them, safekeep them, and for whatever other purposes they might think of using them for. Gags don't usually do ACTUAL physical damage against Cogs, and if they do, it's typically temporary. Just like how Gags in cartoons might injure someone or squash them, it's temporary. However, Suits by nature are like the anti-thesis of Toons and Gags, so they are very much less resistant to the effects of a Gag compared to how a Toon would take it. Cogs only end up exploding once they've been subjected to more than they can handle. That being said, I've stated before that not all Suits have to be all, yknow.... like that. Even if Suits are still by nature weak to Gags, those who are less engrossed in the whole business lifestyle, and know what fun is, know how to enjoy themselves (like a normal person) and are overall sillier than most other Suits, they may be a little more resistant to Gags. (Again, not seen in-game because of gameplay reasons. Most Big Cheeses might be all grumpy and whatnot, but another might be less so, and therefore be slightly less affected by Gags. Also, this wouldn't be the sole source of Gag resistance that Suits may have, so just because a Manager has resistances in their fight doesn't mean it's explicitly BECAUSE they're silly.)

Also, I'd imagine that most Suits are waterproof and are capable of getting wet without much issue. When it comes to Squirt Gags, it's just the fact that they are a Gag and the way that they are being used that makes them damage Cogs.

In a similar vain, I have mentioned that some Suits could be electric-proof, or otherwise be able to absorb electricity to charge themselves in the earliest lore post. Zap Gags likely wouldn't be nearly as effective against these kinds of Suits.

He does NOT take Gags well!

She resists Gags, but NOT because she's any fun

He might be "silly" in some way, but he's still a horrible person and very much does not take Toons seriously, so he'd still be as weak to Gags as the average Suit would be. The context of how they act is important as well.

She COULD have some Gag resistance, since she's genuinely interested in being friendly with Toons, and doesn't have nearly as much malice and/or malicious intent as other Suits, though negative experience with Gags (and not being very successful in being friendly with Toons) would make her not very resistant towards them at all.

And with that, this lore post is over. If I think of anything else pertaining to this, I may make a followup post!

Honestly what pisses me off the most about the media illiteracy throughout the succ fandom (and lbr the internet as whole) is when it escalates to reprimanding actual people for enjoying the conflicts of the show. Almost like it makes you complicit in the actual crimes being portrayed. I feel like tumblr has moved on a bit from this with the demographic aging a bit but there are still so many people refusing to dissect the show because… idk. fear i guess?? Of being deemed immoral for engaging with a text that clearly condemns fascism? Idk. It’s like they can’t just stop at thinking roman is bad they gotta think that liking the character and trying to understand why he does what he does also make you bad. Just juvenile stuff i guess lol not sure how anyone who thinks like this can get any enjoyment out of this show

Also, i know that politics and fascism are all the shit rn but i think the worst example of this is when someone points out the incestuous undertones on the show. Incest just seems to tick something in people in general and you usually can’t discuss it because incest = bad do not open. recognizing the incest when it’s clearly there is enough to make you an apologist lol

Firstly, no one is literally reprimanding. Internet randoms don't have that power but, they are shaming which is effective on some people. They also have this idea that being able to relate to or even understand a "bad person" also demonstrates that you have the capacity to be bad which is like, a very essentialist way of seeing morality. It's even sillier when said "bad person" is fictional because there is literally no consequences here other than like, being prompted to think about something from a new angle and/or feeling things. Anyway, then they do the whole wokescold shaming thing to reassure themselves and others that they're good and that other people are bad. I mean, this behaviour's been compared to Calvinism and like, that's not wrong.

Regarding incest, I reallly don't think there is any allusions or inferences to incestuous acts taking place. Any incestuous feelings are repressed and unrealisable so, it has to always be redirected. Also, all of the Oedipal complexes are forced to centre around the father so, Shiv and Kendall's respective relationships to Logan are about doing "patricide" to get his approval while Roman's is about wanting Logan to "have" him. To the Roys, Roman is abnormal or "wrong" in this way and interestingly enough, I think that much of the audience, agrees but for slightly (but not totally) different reasons. It's more about the way the nuclear family structure, something that's apart of the capitalist mode of production, causes these complexes in the first place. It then gets replicated even without literal blood relations. Honestly,, Caden Romanroydinnerparty wrote a better post about that.

I want, not so much in many directions, but at a highly variable angle at any given moment (Patreon)

[borom1r]

I have some asks <33 Adz ask!!! What are his and Sen's fave things to do together + what things to they do to help each other relax when they need it?

For SAW asks, I would love to hear abt quiet nights with Lawrence/William (maybe w Adam too, if you want!) where they're just able to relax around each other even if they're not talking (which. I know we've discussed b4 but I love how you talk abt them <33) um!!! Eric too bc he's been on my mind lately + I love him, something with Eric/Mallick (whether they're dating or not in the polycule) and just smth they do together that's special for them!! + an extra Strahm question bc I Love Him Too, perhaps just a moment Adam observes btwn him and Lawrence where he's just like 😍 at them! (I hope that's not too much + you feel a little bit better soon,, you don't have to answer all of those!!)

aaa;;

fav things to do together! definitely go out and explore. Sen just generally enjoys going for walks + Adz loves finding new places to photograph, so they’ll go wander around and see what they can find! usually they’ll stop somewhere for a snack/to relax for a little bit on their way home.

also Adz loves to “bother” Sen while he’s exercising lol— Sen definitely gripes about it, but really he’s happy to have Adz around asking questions. even if Adz doesn’t LIKE joining in, it means a lot that he’ll still hang out with him n ask what a certain exercise is/why he’s doing it. it shows Adz is still curious about his hobbies/interests even if they’re not shared, n he’s.. not used to that level of care/consideration

mm.. to help Adz relax, Sen will definitely, 100% offer snuggles. he is. absolutely floofier than Adz + Adz loves to bury his snout in Sen’s fur and just tune out the world. 10/10 guaranteed way to lull Adz into sleep mode if he’s especially stressed/wound-up (esp after about of NRS, it’s not harmful to him directly but it’s still draining for a poor Proto— especially if he wound up banging into furniture accidentally)

to help Sen relax, Adz will usually just sit with him. Sen isn’t big on communication when he’s trying to process his emotions, + just having Adz there without any pressure to express himself is huge. sometimes Adz will brush his fur, bc he KNOWS Sen won’t do it himself but Adz also knows he finds it. Really relaxing skfhdhhd. he’ll usually wind up with a lapfull of Bulky Combat Protogen before he even works that far down from Sen’s shoulders

+ ok William/Adam/Lawrence. i do not generally picture Lawrence as trans but 100% do see Adam + William that way.. where im going with this is that John uses perception as a tool as much as anything else. Tara and Brent Abbot were not allowed to perceive William because the goal was always for William to die. Just like the goal was for Adam to die, except Lawrence was allowed to perceive Adam separate from John’s control (though not entirely free of his influence— “don’t believe Adam’s lies”). and I’ve talked about this before for sure but I think it’s very difficult for William because he has worked so hard to build a life he could be comfortable in only to have that torn away, while Adam was always used to being quote-unquote scum.

where im going with this is i think there are very much moments where William just kind of. needs a reminder of what people think of him. that his perception, very much tainted by John even after so much time, is not the only way he’s perceived. and I love Adam’s photography as a tool for this but i def think there are also just. nights where they all snuggle up on the couch, William in the middle, laying w/ his head on Lawrence’s chest so he can hear his heartbeat while Adam quietly lists off things they love about him (getting progressively sillier and sillier, until William laughs).. he is Seen and not as a monster but as a man with beautiful hair and a kind heart and, like, really nice arms (which gets a laugh this time, but of course holds more weight than maybe Adam even intends, with the tattoos hidden beneath William’s sleeves)

mmnn... i go back n forth abt whether i prefer Eric + Mal as dating or just close friends, but I think Mal LOVES to go on walks w Eric + his dog.

Eric having a rescued Malinois post-trap is *chefs kiss* a favorite headcanon of mine + I think Mallick just genuinely enjoys Being Out Of The House for any reason. so if he’s around and Eric needs to take his dog for a walk, Mal will generally tag along. sometimes they’ll stop at a park or something and Mal will play fetch (Eric will join in too sometimes, other times he’s not feeling well enough) + it’s nice because Mallick can pretty much match the dog’s energy lol — she’s normally very laid-back but Mal can get her wound up for a game like no one else can (side-HC is that Eric’s trained her to be a hunting dog, just thought I’d mention that ^_^)

n I’ve touched on how much it means to Mallick before, but it’s. A Lot to see when Eric notes down specific routes they’ve taken/things Mal said that he wants to remember in his notebook… that’s just. hrrghdh 🖤

+ ohh;; Strahm + Lawrence.. I think they are very. settled, together. it’s not that they don’t ever snark or play off each other, but just.. they can let their guards down around each other and relax into a space they really haven’t had before, this allowance of I know you’re not perfect, you don’t have to be (which they of course have with Adam as well, it just feels different)

Adam definitely has a small collection of photos of them being domestic, but his favorite is the one where Strahm is folding laundry on the couch next to Lawrence, while Lar works on a crossword puzzle. The radio’s on, the blinds are open + sun is pouring in, and every now and then Lawrence would ask Strahm for a suggestion + he’d respond by glancing up w/ this little smile.. nd like they’re Home. they’ve got a home now, something Lawrence was only playing at + Strahm never allowed himself to want. they’re home with each other + with Adam and they’re loved. and when they finally notice Adam, well.. they make it very clear he’s loved too 💙
