i love your fourth of july comics every year but this years feels extremely optimistic about biden’s abilities in the face of him letting roe get overturned and funding a gen*cide at worst or letting it happen at best by taking the bare minimum of regulatory action… i mean can he really be trusted at all anymore to do the right thing or act in line with the people’s demands? and how do we know the people behind project 2025 won’t just rig the election again to get in under false pretenses?

Hihi! Thank you for reading and enjoying my July 4th comics every year! I am in a non-US airport en route to a month-long trip in a place with sketchy internet, so sorry in advance for sloppiness in my response (and potentially going radio silent).

But:

I don't think he "let" Roe get overturned, since that was the Supreme Court's overwhelming conservative majority, which really started with Mitch McConnell refusing to approve Obama's appointee and forcing it into a 2016 election issue. The fact that Trump got to appoint 3 Supreme Court Justices is what got us here.

Re: Biden and the Israel/Hamas war ... on the one hand, there's definitely more that he could have done, but on the other hand, they are a whole other country over there. It's Hamas that initiated the Oct 7 attacks and took the hostages. It's Netanyahu and his right-wing government who decided to retaliate to such extreme extent. Biden can talk about how he would really like Netanyahu to stop fighting and step down, but at the end of the day that's not his call, any more than he can stop the Sudan fighting that is near-genocidal either.

So, to come to your question #1: "Can he really be trusted at all anymore to do the right thing or act in line with the people’s demands"?

For me, it's a resounding YES. Guyz, he has passed so much good domestic policies. My spouse works in green energy and the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act halved his anxiety and gave him legitimate hope. The tumblr post I linked to in my comic has links to many of the other great things that Biden has done. Tbh I voted for him in 2020 because "a moldy onion is still better than Trump", and I've been pleasantly surprised. Like how he tried to cancel student loans, the Supreme Court overturned it, and then he came back 6 months later with a different way to do it that didn't lead to a court challenge.

Is he perfect? Hell no. There's tons of stuff that I wish he did more about, or he went further on, but also he's just one guy heading one branch of government who is heading into an election year. (Just like FDR promising not joining WWII, while behind the scenes doing all the Lend-Lease Act stuff). And "the people" have lots of demands, many of them conflicting.

I'd also like to push at the unspoken part of your question... "Can he really be trusted to do the right thing..." compared to whom? Because right now the answer is "compared to Trump." And compared to Trump... I don't even trust Trump to respect the results of a legitimate election. Heck, he might just take his favorite state secrets, sell them to the highest bidder (or just show them off to someone for funzies), and then claim Presidential immunity. A decent Democrat who got stuff done vs someone who probably wants to pardon himself and all his friends and do Project 2025 stuff is not even on the same level. (Do I wish that there was a viable Democratic alternative to Biden? Sure! But who?) Heck, at this point -- imagine if it's Kamala Harris vs. Trump. Who would you vote for?

As for your question #2: "How do we know the people behind project 2025 won’t just rig the election again to get in under false pretenses?"

We don't. But also what can we do besides showing up to vote?

Actually, I need bullet points for this:

The 2022 midterm elections brought in fewer-than-expected election-deniers into crucial electoral offices at the state level, which means that hopefully most state electoral boards will continue to have integrity

Yes, voting is harder but at least we can still vote. So it's about getting out there and getting your vote counted. For some states, it involves waiting in 8 hour lines. For some states, it involves bringing 2 forms of ID. Document. Track. Make sure it's dropped off in a real ballot box and not a fake one. Don't believe messaging that the voting is happening on a different day or location, etc.

A 50.1% majority is easily challenged. A 55% majority, less so. Which means getting people out to vote.

The more people know about and think about the reality of a second Trump term (versus being disappointed by a Biden term), the more they will be motivated to vote against Trump.

Finally, let's be real here: I'm braced for a 2nd Trump term. That said:

I'm still going to go and vote for Biden, because the only way to prevent a 2nd Trump term is to vote.

A Trump term where either the House or Senate is controlled by the Democrats will be *very* different from a clean Republican sweep.

Even with a clean Republican sweep on the federal level, States have so much more power now, and voting the state level stuff will help shore up Democratic goals for the future. States get to draw voting districts however they want. States get to decide on abortion policies. If you live in a deep Red state, there still might be things to vote for that make it easier to live in now, and turn it purple a few elections down the line.

So at the end of the day, it's "Vote AND". Vote and keep living your best life. Vote and tell others about Project 2025. Vote and have hope. Even if Trump wins, at least you'll have voted against him. Vote and stay to build up a progressive wave for the next election.

Can I ask if Percy can at least put up a fight vs the ror!gods? Like can she at least last a minute or so? 😭✊

ok ok this is gonna be a sorta long and sorta detailed post cuz i don't wanna have to answer any more "percy feats vs ror character feats" asks again (and i also should probably post this on the actual fic too to inform my readers for later arcs buuuuuuut maybe later, i'm too lazy rn lol)

(ALSO credit goes to various reddit posts cuz i didn't wanna personally scour through the manga looking for feats!!!)

percy is physically the weakest/slowest person in ror verse (against the main characters i mean). notice how i say PHYSICALLY. power-wise (as in her water manipulation, etc.), she could definitely take on the human characters (maybe not adam tho)

as i have said before, most book characters cannot trump anime characters from shonens/seinins when it comes to physical feats. shonens and seinens love going above and beyond in making characters physically op.

the pjo verse is very similar to our universe/the Real World in terms of physicality. the pjo humans are very average just like us and while the demigods are more enhanced than that, they are still nothing compared to ror characters. in the ror verse, the human physical potential is faaaaaar higher than the humans AND demigods of the pjo verse.

animes just Be Like That, okay??? it's like sending harry potter characters into sakamoto days. yeah hp characters have magic and sakadays characters have no powers, but they got an old man that can slice through a whole building with one swing of his sword (takamura), a dude that can one-inch punch a hole through people's bodies (gaku), and a dude who moves insanely fast (kindaka); they don't stand a fucking chance 💀💀💀💀💀

so percy, unfortunately, cannot stand a chance against even the ror humans if she's not using any of her powers. if she's sticking solely to her physical abilities (sword-fighting, hand-to-hand, etc. NO powers), she's FUCKED.

and as i have said before, the whole "oh but she carried the sky" thing is not a feat for her physical strength. if she was actually that strong, she would've just become the One Punch Man of the pjo verse and one-shotted every other enemy after that. there is a CURSE on atlas' punishment:

^percy is a hero, that is why she was able to carry the skies, not because she's super fucking jacked 💀

the ror HUMANS alone have the most insane fucking physical feats that percy (or any demigod in the pjo verse) could never even dream to accomplish (sorry my children 😔):

when lu bu was still alive, he was able to split open the skies with a single swing of his spear:

leonidas destroyed the arena grounds with a swing of his arm:

raiden ripping off poor shiva's arms with his bare hands (and his volundr didn't give him enhanced strength either, all thrud did was help him control his muscles; this strength is solely his):

dadam is insanely fucking fast; and he was able to surpass a move that could surpass time:

i could go on and on about the ror humans, but i'm gonna move on to the gods!

as i've stated before, i HATEDDDDDDD how the gods were in the manga. they were more like superhumans!!!! they weren't godlike at all!!!! so i gave them a boost in powers for my fic so they would actually be godlike!!!! if percy can't even beat any of the ror humans in a physical fight, she absolutely does not stand a chance against ANY of the ror gods in a physical fight!!!!!!! or even a fight with her powers! because again, she is a demigod and they are GODS.

(tbh, even if i kept the gods as canon, she still wouldn't be able to beat them because their physical feats are ALSO insane 💀)

but is percy 1000000% fucked???? no. she still has ONE good shit in her arsenal that the ror humans and gods don't have: the curse of achilles. she 99.99% untouchable. she cannot be hurt by them unless their attacks hit her mortal spot, but only three people (loki, beel, and mnemosyne) know of that mortal spot and they're not keen on telling anyone about it or the curse

yes, the characters will absolutely throw her around like a fucking ragdoll (😭) but as long as her mortal spot is untouched, she will live!!!! (she'll be really fucking embarrassed tho, but she'll live!)

she also has insane fucking powers that the humans DON'T have:

AND i am also boosting her by giving her some limited blood/ichor manipulation (again, blood manipulation is not canon; this is a fanon thing that i THOUGHT was canon because many other ppl said it was canon, but it's really not 😔)

she is also insanely smart when it comes to battle IQ and strategizing and the best part is that people underestimate her cuz they either think she's dumb af (beel and loki) or that she's just a baby (poseidon, hades, zeus, shiva, adamas, literally fucking everyone else) or BOTH (cú chulainn 💀)

and another thing that i don't really count as a "pro" but i'm putting it in here anyway: no god is gonna wanna hurt her anyway 💀 she's very widely loved by the pantheons, they wouldn't wanna hurt her cuz they love her (romantically and platonically). same with humans, they're not gonna wanna fight her for the same reason 💖

I WILL ALSO BE GIVING HER A LIL SOMETHING EXTRA THAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN ACT 2!!!! IT'S GONNA REALLY HELP HER!!! BUT I WON'T SAY WHAT HEHE

so in conclusion:

percy absolutely does not stand a chance against a fight with any god even with her powers; she can last a decent amount of time, but she WILL lose

percy will 100% lose against the ror humans in a PHYSICAL fight (and by ror humans, i mean the ror human fighters ofc. the regular humans she could obviously beat cuz they're just regular humans)

percy has a good chance of winning against some of the humans in a fight with her powers (but she will 10000% lose against adam cuz it's adam 💀)

Do you think Walter ever recieved augmentation surgery? Also, given how he sees it as part of the "carnival of horrors" his father created, do you think that he would've been against Michigan getting it?

(It's never directly stated, but I'd assume Michigan is augmented because he ranks directly behind Freud in the arena, so it would kind of make Freud less of an anomaly for being so good despite never recieving the surgery.)

okay i went on a long ramble by accident so cut it is!

In APV, Walter and Michigan are baseline humans! In fact, Michigan briefly considered getting augmentations when the "safer" Gen Seven augmentations came out after ironing out all the fatal flaws in the previous two generations, but Walter went on an anti-augmentation screed so intense that Michigan was just like "whoa fuck okay fine I won't get them."

(Later, Michigan was genuinely grateful Walter talked him out of it, because he realised that the augmentations didn't really give much benefits to a pilot's capability. Yeah, it gave them faster reflexes and better synergy with their AC, but that didn't trump good old experience and skill, which Michigan has in bucketloads. He found a lot of vindictive delight in trashing Arquebus pilots who had the most "modern" augmentations when he remained as a baseline human).

but as for a serious answer/ramble: AC6 is pretty upfront with who has augmentations in their arena profiles, so really it's just up to personal headcanons for those where it's not explicitly said (Michigan, Flatwell, etc). But usually I assume that if the arena profile doesn't say anything about augmentations, I consider them a baseline human... unless they're Flatwell and I augmented him for plot reasons in apv dhdshdf

like, it's my personal hc that late Gen augmentations are overhyped, likely due to aggressive corporate marketing to conceal how the late Gens are inferior to the Coral-augmentations. The hint to this was with Swinburne's arena profile, where it stated that the Gen Sevens didn't give the "usual" drawbacks to its user... but also gave negligible benefits ("This granted him enhanced aptitude as a pilot without the usual complications—but with no obvious indication of either efficacy or potential side effects, Swinburne's fears and doubts turned into an overpowering paranoia.") - and also V.VIII Pater's low ranking in the Arena.

Pater's a Gen Ten, the most modern augmentation that's commonly practiced by AC6 time, and Pater is... a painfully average pilot amongst the other named characters. He's sits at 16/C, where Chatty, Carla and Honest Brute rank higher than him, and they're not career mercenaries. In fact, quite a lot of augmented humans rank low in the arena comparatively to other pilots who don't have augmentations - Thumb Dolmayan doesn't have them, even, he's just a Doser who gained enlightenment by huffing so much Coral he accidentally made Contact, and he's 4/A.

tl;dr Freud is probably a notable figure for being a baseline human in the Vespers, because Walter introduced the Vespers as Arquebus's "in-house augmented human AC squad". The fact that V.I is a baseline human probably throws people for a loop, since the group is commonly known as a group of augmented humans - no doubt to showcase Arquebus's augmentations.

The corporations probably do a lot of barking about how augmentations make the AC pilot, because it's a marketing thing. But when you step outside of the neat lines of corporate warfare, it becomes more apparent that augmentations mean nothing if you don't have the experience or skill to back it up. A Gen Ten pilot used to conducting harassing operations against poorly armed union workers would find themselves floundering against n independent mercenary who's a baseline human that's cut their teeth against various opponents across the galaxy.

Oh hm this turned into a pretty big ramble but... this topic interests me, tbh! It's fun to think that the corporations make a big thing about their super special augmented humans, but it turns out that unless you put in the effort to properly train them or give them experience, they don't measure up against an ex-Doser running around in a souped up BASHO. The fact that people commonly think that augmented humans are superior pilots is because it's a shortcut to a boost in capability, and because the corporations are aggressive in their marketing and publishing successful results to ensure there's a demand for it.

anyway i hope all that rambling made sense sdhffh im very sleepy right now...

[demxnicprxncess]

request - you’re an interviewer and get assigned to interview kai during election season. you don’t align with his political beliefs and accidentally say something that goes against what he was saying. knowing that you’re scared of upsetting him, as well as having a bad interview, kai suggests that you suck him off as a way to ask for an interview retake.

ouuuuu i love the creativity! of course ill do it. id succ his dicc without pissing him off tbh.

"Get on your knees." (Kai Anderson x GN! Reader however I imagined them as a girl)

Warnings: Kai Anderson, public sex, sex tape, oral (k), degrading, unprofessionalism, talks of racism, I used MY BELIEFS in what was said by interviewer.

I sat down in my seat, carefully organizing my cards with questions written on them and little information on the topic. I analyzed each question and prepared myself for every question there would be, alongside all the possible answers. I never truly agreed with what Mr. Anderson had to say, and I'm sure I never would. I watched as he walked in, his hair put neatly into a bun, I could tell he had clearly obviously been pissed off, that had settled me into my "Don't fuck with him" mode. "Hello Mr. Anderson." I watched as he gave me a simple smile, "Hello there." He took a seat across from where I would sit. "I'm just going to set the camera up give me a moment please." He nodded simply as I walked over to the little tripod and set up the camera, it fell off the small table it rested on making me bend over to pick it up. I felt him stare at me ever so intensely as I picked up the little camera. "I apologize Mr. Anderson." He just chuckled softly but didn't utter a word. I clicked the start waiting for the three beeps before I began talking. "Hello, I am (name) and I'm here with a candidate for senator. Mr. Anderson, it is truly an honor to get an interview with you. I was so surprised when you agreed." He smiled straightening out his back before replying, "Well, I seen you and did a bit of research, along the time of my research you struck me as someone who valued the true American Dream." The way he worded it seemed so condescending however I smiled and looked down at my shoes before slightly shifting in my seat. "I'm flattered Mr. Anderson. If you don't mind, I'd love to begin our questioning." He simply nodded at me. "So, as you know, Trump has gotten 452 miles of the wall done. How do you feel to know that he is actually building the wall?" His smile got a bit wider as he leaned forward slightly. "I think he's doing an amazing thing. Americans are losing their jobs that they worked to receive, to foreigners who don't even belong here." The way he worded it sending me into a bit of discomfort. "Can you please elaborate on what you mean?" He smirked, "The wall is needed to keep those terrorists out of our country." he leaned back in his chair still smirking, "It'll make America great again." I had it. If no one would speak up, I would. I couldn't take this; no amount of money would ever leave me to act as if this man was right. "I highly disagree. America was never truly great; it was built off of racism and-" He sighed, cutting me off, "You're delusional, slavery was so long ago it should just be forgotten, do you not agree?" I glared at him; how can a man of such great power be so ignorant to society. "I absolutely do not agree. It shouldn't be forgotten; and that is not the only racism. America started when we decided to kill off Native Americans from THEIR land. You tell people to go back to where they came from, but your ancestors weren't born here. Were they Mr. Anderson?" I watched as his face grew hot with anger. "Excuse you? I had instantly snapped back into my professionalism, "I apologize Mr. Anderson, I-" he stood up walking to me. "Get on your knees." I was confused, "I beg your pardon?" He sighed a mumbled something about dumb sluts before forcing me onto my knees. "What are you-" He slapped me an put his finger on my lips. He used the other hand to snatch his pants down and open my mouth, shoving his dick in my mouth. "mmmm, using your mouth for good. Look at the camera while you choke on my dick" I felt myself gag as he rammed his dick down my throat, spit pooling around his cock and down my chin as I looked at the camera. "Fuck, I'm going to cum in this pretty little mouth and you're going to swallow it. It's a privilege to pleasure me. Isn't that, right?" I nodded before I felt his grip tighten on my hair. The overwhelming feeling of his seed shooting down my throat as I struggle to swallow it all. "Oh shit, you're a good fuck honey." I look up at him. "I think that concludes our interview right (name)" I nodded quickly before crawling to the camera to cut it off. "Send me that."

Should I do part two?!

Question: Why does everyone, even those that want Trump to see consequences for what he did, seem to be hand-wringing over how terrible it is that a former president is being indicted, even to the point of saying it's a 'challenge to [US] democracy'? Plenty of countries all over the world have charged, tried, and convicted former heads of state who did bad shit, and that hasn't, like, tarnished their democracy or anything - I'd argue the opposite, that it's strengthened them, bringing consequences to those who would use positions of responsibility for corrupt ends! Why does the US seem to hold the office of President... tbh, it seems from the outside, almost sacred, like, full Divine Right of Kings shit going on here? All these people saying about having to weigh bringing consequences to Trump against something-something the office of the president. I... confess to not understanding it, and hope you can explain it.

It's that good ol' American Exceptionalism at work again, unfortunately. The whole "America is the Shining City on the Hill, the Example to the Rest of the World, the Peacemaker and Liberator who Brings Justice!!!" narrative is SO strong that it has a) badly warped the teaching of America's actual history, which is considerably less rosy, and b) made it impossible (and still makes it impossible, for some people) to actually reckon both with the terrible political things Trump did and the ugly pre-existing political things he didn't create, but just brought to the surface and gave free reign. In this mindset, of course it's shocking and sad because America doesn't DO these things!!! It's just for Less Good Countries Overseas Somewhere!

Of course, the fact remains that Trump is definitely not the only ex-president who SHOULD be charged (George W. Bush, still a war criminal), and the Republican party has been drifting and continues to drift into open fascism unabated for the last decade or so, while the corporate media does their utmost to shill for the Both Sides Bad!!! narrative as hard as possible (while still somehow having even more unfair standards for the left/Democrats). But because they have spent so long handling Trump with kid gloves, treating the Republicans like an actual political party instead of a nonstop reactionary white-grievance mouthpiece, and everything else that deforms American perceptions of itself, yeah, This Is A Sad Day. Which... yes, from one point of view, it is. It's sad and unforgivable that Trump was ever elected, much less was able to do what he did (and continues to do) for so long. But holding him to account for it is NOT the sad part, and I am equally sick and tired of hearing that, especially when it's paired with the same triumphalist mythology that this country always blithely peddles about itself and which continues to badly affect its understanding of both its past and present.

[corvidcall]

i understand why people on here are trying to gass us all up about voting for biden but tbh i think the argument of "look at all the good stuff he says he'll do in his first 100 days!" falls a little flat given that

1. implamenting these policies would require the dems to also control congress and the supreme court, and biden has been pretty clear that he doesnt want to ban the filibuster and he doesnt want to do anything about the incredibly corrupt supreme court

2. he hasnt fulfilled a lot of the promises he made in his first campaign (some he tried and failed (due to point 1) and immediately gave up, like student loan forgiveness, some he claimed he'd never had any intention of doing, like the $2k a month until the end of the pandemic) so im not sure why i would believe he'll mean it this time.

3. i saw the debate and i know that mans brain is pudding. i really don't trust joe "we beat medicare" biden to mean anything he says or say anything he means!

like. don't vote for trump OBVIOUSLY. and im not saying dont vote (it doesnt feel impactful, i know, but if it didnt do something, the GOP wouldn't be trying to hard to remove people's voting rights). i AM saying that you know biden has thoroughly fucked it when im out here genuinely excited at the prospect of voting for kamala

[horizon-verizon]

Alicent was delusional and thought she was the exception to the rule but found out she wasn’t. It’s like the council said, she “ruled” during the times of peace and prosperity that Jaehaerys gave them, so it was easy to allow her do her thing.

I also enjoyed seeing Larys openly call out the hypocrisy of making Alicent regent over Aemond. How would it look to the realm if we place a woman as regent, when our entire argument is based on the first son being the true heir and the ? Especially when Aegon has two male heirs in Aemond and Daeron.

One thing you know these HotD writers are going to do? They will only establish the hypocrisy of a character in the in-world's own time if it means it's an opportunity for them to make them actively practice sexism. Kudos.

Besides that, she "ruled" not bc it was a peacetime Jaehaerys thing, not in truth. She ruled bc she had both Viserys and then Otto allowing her to at the time. And even then, after Viserys loses most of his mobility and faculties, Otto is the one who actually determines her moves aside form maybe how she deals with servants. This Jaehaerys thing is just an excuse as much as Rhaenyra being held back from riding her dragon by "monarchs don't go into battle themselves or they might die and the whole thing goes to shit"...or as the show want s to make that reasoning. I don't think it works on Rhaenyra's end bc she is the monarch while Alicent was a monarch's consort, then his widow and another's mother. Aegon is grown, though so before he got flamed he had no need of her. Aemond is also grown, so yeah...

tbh it still doesn't make sense that she'd press. bc as a woman of a society that usually has mothers of too-young lords become regent, she should not already know that even with Viserys allowing her to "rule", bc that came with conditions of his inability and her having no real authority or source of power (like soldiers) apart from him or her sons.

I know she's supposed to be all "woman for Trump" and some sort of Karen or Serena Joy (haven't watched the show and I barely remember the book)...but there is a difference b/t totally expecting men to accept you after the losses of such support and trying to get them to listen but at the same time knowing that they probably won't anyway. she was too shocked by this development for me to believed she is as observant as some people claimed. this sort of Karen stupidity is out of place for Alicent Hightower.

Not sure if I'm making sense here.

[spurgie-cousin]

Hoo boy SpurgieCousin, these anons sitting out the election to protest the war in Gaza or voting 3rd party to teach the democrats a lesson, or whatever their reason is have me stressed! As an elder millennial, I remember Ralph Nader peeling away enough 3rd party votes to give the election to Bush over Gore in 2000. Even though that administration gave us wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, the deaths of my friends, classmates, etc in those wars, the destruction of their futures when they came home with PTSD and missing limbs, lies about weapons of mass destruction, war crimes, Guantanamo bay AND the worst economic recession since the Great Depression- which was a fantastic time to try and enter the job market after college btw- I still think a 2nd Trump term would be worse. The only reason Trump’s first term was only a partial catastrophe was because it was incredibly incompetent and we were able to coast on a lot of momentum of the Obama years. I don’t think a 2nd term would flounder as much. I really really hope (beg)your readers reconsider their choice regarding Joe Biden. It’s not a perfect system and it’s not a perfect candidate-it never is. I appreciate their idealism- I was young once too- but not voting does not absolve them from the consequences of what may happen if this country elects Trump again. You will have complicity in negative things either way you vote, so please please vote in a way that does not make things worse. Ok, thank you for letting this geriatric millennial rant!

Oh I think that's a perfect example tbh. I'm a younger millennial so I was growing up as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars played out, and it was the first thing that ever really ignited a political rage in me. Horrible news for my very republican/George Bush voting family lol.

Unless they're very politically versed, I don't know if Gen Z or even the youngest tier of millennials really get how fucking awful the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan was. Just tons of civilians and American soldiers dead because of Bush's ego, and his ego is nothing compared to Trump's.

I think the only big difference is a lot of third party voters at that time didn't totally understand what Bush was capable of, whereas we know what a Trump presidency will be like..... we know if he promises to make gay marriage illegal and strip back more women's Healthcare rights and and more money to Netanyahu to destroy Gaza, he WILL try to do it. He's already had similar successes.

I have voted third party, I hate to discourage people from doing so because I think a third party candidate that we can rally behind is our only hope out of this 2 party shit show. We don't have anyone like that this election season, far left progressives hate Jill Stein, nobody else has the name recognition at this point to have any chance against with major candidate, and we know the end result will be either the trash can on fire that is our government right now or that trash can on fire with an added layer of dog shit on top, y'know? They're both bad sure but I just highly disagree that one isn't worse for vulnerable Americans and Gazans alike.

[valyrfia]

Cant believe Donald Trump powered Lando Norris into a win. Crazy times

Still not unconvinced he gave them an illegal engine tbh

[expectopatronum18]

Note: not taking any sides here

Tbh i just don't understand the argument that ppl should vote for Trump to prevent ww3/nuclear war from breaking out

Trump has extremely aggressive policies towards China, and recently he literally asked israel to 'bomb iran's nuclear sites and worry about the rest later'. (to be fair, he did make progress with the Abraham accords, but he also withdrew from the jcpoa; either ways the situation is way more messed up now)

On the other hand the current administration literally gave a $7 billion package to Israel, not to mention essentially being complicit in literal genocide in Gaza

And (at least from what I can understand) neither of them actually understand the history and complexity of the issue to end the war in Ukraine (and even in Gaza tbh)

I can't speak about the internal policies ofc coz I'm not an American, but I can say tht the us foreign policy has essentially remained the same throughout history irrespective of the party, and if something as huge and dramatic as ww3 does happen, it'll be because they lead u into it hand in hand

Typing Crushed Olive Branch Charas Using OPS

I already typed Crushed Olive Branch charas but I wanna do it in OPS since I think Objective Personality is a better system than just typing using functions :P

As before characters belong to @calronhunt

Starting with Theron, I don't think I'd change his type from ISFJ, he's definitely overdoing certainty. He hates what he doesn't know, this can be shown in his unwavering faith to what his parents have told him. This could be seen as pro tribe (which he is, he's definitely pro tribe) but in this case it's more because he needs a sense of normalcy and his parents gave him that by telling him what to do.

Later on in the story he ends up leaning more to the tribe side, but this makes sense since it's his second most used function. This also means he uses blast, so he's not a jumper.

As for the functions themselves, Si>Ni in my opinion. He doesn't really care about looking under what he sees, he's very much a surface level thinker, he doesn't really look behind why Dom says what Dom says, taking everything as he says and rarely forming his own opinions from judging others actions.

As for fe or te, I could go either way but he's definitely more of a feeler in general. He's efficient but doesn't care to tell others about his efficiency, which points to fe/ti use more than te/fi use!

Final verdict, ISFJ ! Blast>Sleep>Consume>Play

Other typology stuff: Stuck between 9w1 or 6w5, though I think I'll go with 9w1 since he's more of a gut triad person. He's in tune with reality, and numbs his emotions to avoid pain (as shown when he decides to become FWB with Matthias instead of, you know, processing his feelings. He definitely has a strong 6 fix though

9w1

For his tritype, as stated before, strong 6 fix and proooobably a 4 fix? He definitely wants to be come someone different but a lot of that hast to do with internal homophobia and I've never been a fan of stereotyping LGBT charas as 4 but I think it fits Theron more than 3 or 2...3 would be my second best guess cuz he used to be VERY three like as a kid but that was due to his parents influence. Also Gut>Heart>Head

9w1>4w3>6w2

Closest Character to His Typing According to PDB: Blue Diamond (Steven Universe)

Dom I typed as an ESFP before, and I'm kind of conflicted in OPS. He DEFINITELY isn't overdoing chaos, he cares way too much about the tribe for that, but I also don't really see him as using blast or play? If I had to pick one, I'd say blast, he's not energetic enough to be play imo.

He's definitely tribe>self, which might seem weird considering how selfish he is, but his selfishness comes from external validation, not internal validation. He cares how others see him, and he forces those ideals onto others as well.

Next is functions, he's definitely more of an Fe user, his ti is so fucking weak I'm sorry bro...he doesn't care about efficiency at ALL he cares about others values first and foremost

As for Si or Ni, I'm nore sure? I see more Se than Si so I'mma go with Ni cuz of that but tbh he could use either

Final Verdict: ENFJ! Blast>Consume>Play>Sleep

Other Typologies: DEFINITELY heart triad, either 2w3 or 3w2 though I think I'll go with 2w3...he wants to be loved more than he wants to be looked up to. Though he is very proud of his abilities and is quite vain, his pride and love-need trump both of those aspects

2w3

For tritype, heart>gut>head, I'm thinking 8 and 7-fixed, though I could also see a 9-fix but he's a bit too confrontational for that. He isn't one to hide his feelings through numbing, he's someone who ignores his problems with his hedonistic tendencies (usually sex) which fits 7 more than 9

Matthias is definitely overdoing independence, he DEFINITELY isn't overdoing chaos/certaintiy and he's not pro-tribe either. He's also very much just. Fi dominant. I cannot think of a better function for him LoL

If I had to say, INFP would make the most sense since I don't see much Se usage

This is so short I feel like I should explain but I cannot. He is so INFP the only other possibility I could see is ISFP but INFP just makes way more sense imo.

Final Verdict: INFP, Consume>Sleep>Blast>Play

Other Typologies: HONESTLY. Not very sure ? I think he's a 6, he keeps a warm facade as to keep his own security, even when others walk all over him, though this could also be seen as him merging with others emotions and putting them before his own...but also if I type him as a 9 the correlationists will kill me so I'll stick with 6. Also, he's more head than gut LMAO

6w7

Head>Gut>Heart, 9-fix for gut and then 4 for heart? Not exactly sure, could see 2 as well, DEFINITELY not 3 though. Honestly, I'mma go with 2-fix since he has such a high love need and shows little envy

Nerissa is also overdoing certaintiy, but imo she's sleep>blast, meaning she's a jumper. Her need for certaintiy and lack of chaos isn't shown as much but she's the one who keeps the patrols most structured, so this is mainly a guess extrapalated from that.

Si or Ni would make sense, but I think lower Ne makes sense since she doesn't really care about taking in multiple ideas, she prefers to look at the environment as is to come to conclusions (showing more sensing than intuition) but tbh I could see Ni as well. She's very analytical, and thinks in very structured ways which fits Ni in OPS well...definitely more like than keep brainstorming and throwing out different ideas but ! IDK !!!

Also Fi/Te, cares more about her own emotions and external efficiency, she wants things on the outside to go well, and also cares more about her own emotions than others, which makes her come off as cold.

Final Verdict: Either ISTJ or INTJ ? Not really sure but I'll go with INTJ...Sleep>Blast>Consume>Play

Other Typologies: Definitely head triad, prolly a 5 but could see 6 as well!

5w6

Head>Gut>Heart, gut triad is probably a 1 and heart triad is prolly a 3

This world has seriously lost the plot, I am so tired so tired of constantly waking up. This system is collapsing all this news shit is just a compilation of capitalism failing . And I'm so fucking tired of this shit I'm so fucking anxious about every goddamn thing . I hate work no REAL HUMAN BEING SHOULD BE WORKING 40hrs A WEEK . THIS WORLD HAS TAKEN SO MANY THINGS AND JUST REARRANGED THEM INTO DIFFERENT SHIT. SLAVERY IS PRISON SYSTEMS, HAVING A DAMN JOB IS SLAVERY BY CHOICE, ITS ALL BULLSHIT. I'm so angry and sad I'm so sad dude. This world is coming to an end , I wake up everyday like I'm waiting for the sky to fall like I'm chicken little. I remember as a kid I was being abused most of my school years grammar and highschool, and our neighbors would probably hear all of that shit for years and years. But when I'd get off the bus I'd walk past them with my headphones on and I didn't know they were talking to me I didn't hear them or was paying attention and a lot of them took such offense too that. Me a kid being hated on by adults and others because I didn't speak to them , even though everyday of my life I was being beat and verbally abused. But neighbors are worried about me thinking I'm "better than them". And b/c of this my mom got into a very heated argument with them over it, I just remember crying my eyes out b/c I just never understood why ppl hate me for the weirdest shit. Even when I thought I didn't do anything wrong I was always hated. This was my life for years still is my life, on top of still living with my abuser been abused by a lot of my family ppl I thought were supposed to protect me, this is all. My point is ppl only give a fuck about "appearances" nobody gave a fuck about me getting screamed at or me screaming my heart out b/c of how much pain I was dealing with ON MY OWN, but yeah dude call me out for not saying HELLO TO U. This world is just so sick this place makes me physically ill idk how im still going idk how im still trying to hold on to some slither of hope when most of my life I've never felt significant to anyone except my dog.

Black men police black women like police officers police black men, everyone wants some sort of power of control some power of worth. That's why so many ppl are misguided or pointing fingers at everyone else but the damn white supremacists, just conduct us to hate one another and it's that simple. The amount of times a black man felt entitled to me saying hello to them is fucking insane, if I don't say hello I'm likely dead , if I do say hello I'm likely dead, there's no winning in this situation. THERES BLACK WOMEN GOING MISSINF AND BEING KILLED EVERY SINGLE DAY BUT BLACK MEN ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT A FUCKING HELLO??? maybe protect and nurture black women and maybeee more of us would feel safe around yall . I don't feel safe I don't speak I keep to myself and I'm still seen as "rude" "aggressive" "mean" . This place makes NO FUCKING SENSE DUDE IT DOESNT. Ppl are talking about this election left and right, tbh I really don't give a flying fuck about the election this entire system is corrupt , ppl just want Donald stupid ass out of the office b/c he managed to be a menace to even republicans lol it's fucking hilarious . I genuinely loathe this place I'm ready to leave I'm ready to go . Donald Trump is the true damn hokage shoulder all the hate lookin ass(this is a fucking joke)

I'm so fucking tired why have I been lucky still breathing , idkidkidk I can't imagine my future at all I can't see myself being happy I can't see nothing. I'm terrified of this place

ITS 60DEGREES IN FUCKING CHICAGO IN FUCKING OCTOBER WTF IS GOING ONNNNN

mbti/enneagram typing for @eheu-vae-mihi

enneagram: 3w4 so/sp 8w9 7w6 387

straight off the bat, the fear of not living up to standards suggests you're somewhere in the competency triad (1-3-5). this is also why you seem to detach a lot from your emotions. struggling with introspection and trying to work through things logically is very similar to what someone in that triad would experience. you seem much more like a 3/5, as a 1 would focus more on being morally perfect. so3>5, as 5's don't seem to care about the guidelines for success set by society as you mention ("getting a good job", "earning money"...).

your wing for the 3 wasn't too strong, and was pretty balanced between 4 and 2. usually when this happens, it means that the wing is a countertype (meaning, the specific subtypes defies the stereotype/general description). between sp2 and sp4, the way you almost internalize/repress emotions was more fitting towards a sp4. this, on top of your answer to dealing with shame, which was very much internalized.

the part about wanting to make a strong impact on the world gives feeling in mbti mixed with e3, with a little hint of 8. the 8 is especially seen in your descriptions of anger (many ppl think 8's are feral angry rats but most of them relate to your exact answer). being fiercely protective of those around you is epitome of so8, plus the fact that you hate being controlled by others .

for your 8, 9 fits perfectly especially with how you don't find yourself being good at self-reflection. also with how you aren't too sure of where you want to go, suggesting you struggle with identity like a 9 would.

something that really solidified the strength of this fix was how when your at your lows, you find yourself worried about things, feeling worthless, and feeling life has lost it's meaning, which is how a 3 and 9 would disintegrate.

your 9 and 8 seem pretty balanced. i don't think that you're either a 9w8 or 8w9 tbh, because you seem to use them in a way that is complementary to each other- not really that one is stronger than the other. but since your mbti is an entp it made most sense to type you as 8w9.

lastly, for the final fix of your tritype, i notice you mention you want to do things w/o worrying about repercussions, which is pretty similar to how an e7 would function. most of the reasons for giving you this fix were slightly sprinkled throughout your questionnaire, there wasn't an exact answer that led me to it. some sentences gave me the impressions that you do value gaining experiences, while also slightly 'security" focused, like a 7w6 would be. an example would be your curiosity answer about preventing a big situation in the real world from happening, which was small, but still pretty e6.

mbti: entp

imo, the way you structure your answers suggests a lot of ne. you consider a lot of possibilities in the way you respond to certain questions, which is something a high ne user would usually do. in my experience people who say "it depends" a lot are usually a mix of ne and ti.

maybe it's my washy speculation, or maybe the intent was to add more info?? either way, this wasn't the only reason i gave you this typing.

i'm honestly too lazy to format so i'm just going to list reasons why you seem high in ne and ti that i noticed:

you're curious about "why and how" things work

you think "the past is gone, no use clinging to it" and think the future is "what we want it to be"

🚪🚶is the se/ni in the room with us?

values logical consistency

the future "is moulded by our visions"

challenging authority by own ideas

there are moments where you do value efficiency and seem to like having a sense of concreteness in certain things, but imo that's more attributed to your 8 fix rather than simply just te.

you also do seem to show slight se, especially through learning things with application. but i don't think that this se necessarily trumps your ne. i think your enneagram explains why you display some stronger sensory traits (having all 3, 6, and 9 in your tritype def proves it), but again, looking back to your cores fixes, it points much more to entp.
