#You may blame me and you may hate me for this

[8-evil-annoying-catboys]

also let’s be fucking real. blaming it on his autism is infantilising. autistic people can have tact. in fact, many of us learn to have tact by force. if he truly lacks it that badly, that’s a separate issue from autism. but we all know that that is not the case. as an autistic person, i am PISSED that people are excusing this behavior bc elon musk is autistic. he may be autistic, but autism doesn’t make you a fucking neonazi.

look at his politics that he’s been open about in the past and tell me sincerely that you’re surprised (not appalled, not disgusted, but SURPRISED) to see him doing nazi salutes back to back on live TV. i sure as fuck am not surprised, he’s been on this road for a long, long time. it’s not excusable because he’s autistic. being autistic doesn’t mean you can’t recognise well-known symbols like this, unless maybe if you are much more severely disabled than elon fucking musk is.

he may be a total dumbass who doesn’t know shit about anything he pretends to know about, but it’s not like he has an intellectual disability or something where this might have some more nuance (and i’m not the authority on that btw since i also don’t have an ID, so if anyone has an ID or a loved one with one and wants to chime in that that wouldn’t bring more nuance, please feel free to correct me).

he functions well enough to arrange for his own attendance at all these political events, and influence politicians directly, and oh yeah, he’s the wealthiest man in the world and manages his finances well enough to retain that status. he was born with a silver spoon but he can handle ADLs and iirc he’s college educated so he MUST have learned about this salute in a history class at SOME POINT. shit, i learned about it in like middle school, you don’t have to go to college to fucking recognise it!!

you can’t pretend his autism makes him blameless, and insisting that it does is an insult not only to jewish people but to autistic people as well. we are not fucking affiliated with his disgusting behavior. i hate when other autistic people—usually autistic white men, specifically—get a pass to be bigots because of their autism. being autistic doesn’t make bigotry ok or inherent. that’s not how ASD fucking works, ok?!

autistic people don’t get to just say and do whatever we want, and we shouldn’t! but for SOME REASON, when a WHITE CIS MAN is autistic, he’s allowed to do whatever and nobody can get mad at him bc “he’s autistic, he doesn’t know better!” even other autistic people aren’t allowed to get upset at an autistic white man! i’m tired of that! autistic people also need consequences, just like everyone else! this fucking worm of a man has gotten away with so much in his life, because of being white and rich and cishet, don’t let him get away with this, too

“Elon didn’t mean to sieg heil, he’s just autistic”

Do you guys remember when Kanye said he was gonna go “death con” on all the Jews? Do you remember how his apologists said he was just off his bipolar meds? Do you remember that he doubled down, said he didn’t actually have bipolar, and he had been misdiagnosed by a Jew doctor? Do you remember he proceeded to meet with prominent white supremacists and told infowars he was a Nazi who loved Hitler?

Nobody ever believes the Jews the first time, even though our culture has spent literally thousands of years learning the warning signs. We know what we’re looking at. It’s two consecutive Nazi salutes on a white supremacist’s inauguration day. You can downplay it all you want, but this coal mine’s canary isn’t coming back to life.

oh dutch van der linde damn the cruel man you are, knowing when and how to take advantage of those who have done nothing but devote themselves to you. but then again, the blame may be put on those same people, arthur, john, even hosea; the blame may be put on those who still somewhat believed in him even after showing his true colors. but then again, dutch knows how to play those strings, tugging at them with a proper and certain use of “son” so, how much blame can be placed on the rest when it is a deliberate choice every time he calls one or the other son? clearly thought out.

I’ve always found interesting the context within he uses such word; when there is confrontation or when he sees this need to validate someone, “you’re like a son to me” may have come out of his mind for the genuine enjoyment of the little race with arthur. however, when else is such word use? the way i see it, usually he uses it to disregard any doubting surrounding his ambiguous plan.

these are people that lack parental figure, he’s a savior to almost everybody and he knows that, to a degree i even believe him to take vain pride in such fact. for that very same reason, how can you talk back to your savior? to your father? it puts this disparity in between, by familiarizing himself with the others and stepping over the boundary of simply a ‘boss and crook’ relationship an emotional weight is put over the already tight hierarchy there seems to be. now raising concern over dutch’s poor choices becomes somewhat harder, this is the man that taught them how to read, how to write, how could they not have their father’s back with nothing but ardent fervor? blood’s thicker than water after all, isn’t it?

it is almost wicked the way he sees this fragility within the people that already had a harsh life so young before meeting him, and he decides to simply take advantage of that. “oh, arthur needs to rest” is vile, “I was coming for you” is repulsive.

the fallout is nothing short of disastrous, because it’s their father, their savior, lying and scheming right in front of them.

but then again, they could’ve left. arthur could’ve run away and he didn’t, part of the fault may fall on him —because at the end of the day he’s his own person— yet, it’s almost as if dutch had groomed him into that life. could he have been happier with mary? yes, could it have been a successful thing? who knows? that choice was chopped off by ideals and parental figures that really weren’t there.

dutch van der linde is a clever man, charming even, he’s a really well written antagonist. hell, i even fell for his lies as a player in the beginning. testament to his ability to embellish and make the poorest of situations a gilded fantasy.

he’s a really good character, let’s not twisted with morals, and that’s why i cannot help but hate yet love it.

so often i see people try to downplay violet and minervas relationship like it wasnt Real enough or was some Inferior Romance that her relationship with clementine could Never compare to, and i find it so annoying and boring

she LOVED minerva!! and its okay that she did!! she was her first love!! childhood best friends turned girlfriends!! seeing her being so heartbroken and miserable about what happened to minnie, how deeply and desperately she missed her, hugging that bed frame so pathetically. but clementine makes her CARE again. makes her LOVE again. slowly violet becomes comfortable with the idea of opening her heart up to people again, after trying so hard not to because the pain of losing people she cared about was too much to bear (especially when she blamed herself for them being gone)

then she learns minnie didnt die. shes falling in love with clem while grappling with the fact that minnie might still be out there??

then she meets minnie in the woods. but minnie has changed just like she has. theyre both different people now. and slowly violet is forced to come to terms with the fact that the person she loved so deeply isnt that person anymore??

violet at the beginning mourning minerva and blaming herself, to shooting her to save clems life. she LOVED minerva once, but she doesnt like the person she is now. and shes not gonna let her hurt anyone else she cares about. shes done mourning her by the time they get to the bridge, only crying out for tenn

like idk i just find their relationship evolution to be so interesting and sad as shit. the fact that they once loved each other so much and it has now come to this?? but violet makes her choice and she Chooses clementine, because she admires and loves clementine, probably similar to the way she used to admire and love minerva if the way she talked about her is any indication

i just think "i never thought i would ever feel this way again" is way more interesting than "wow minnie Never made me feel like This"

I think there's pressure when you enter your recovery journey and your healing journey to never fuck up again but unfortunately that is unrealistic. The sooner you realize that the less you’ll beat yourself up when it happens.

uhm do I need to I explain or

ok imagine this is paldea, so teratypes exist

soren is mainly a ghost type trainer, but his main mon is jigglypuff with a ghost teratype. pretty cool right?

why is he a ghost type trainer? I think this is obvious given his backstory 💀 but basically laguz ignore him, he feels like he doesn't exist, so he feels kinda like a ghost!!!!!

WIP game!

i was tagged by @tortoisesshells ✨

so i have two fics going one rn: 1) in the boat purgatory in at world's end, james comes across gov swann and the two have a final conversation together (not using that for this since i haven't done too much but something to look forward to i guess) and 2) bolt's "what if james had a dragon" fic and subsequent discussions and questions has me now doing a "what if hornblower had a dragon" fic so here is an excerpt from that:

“Who are you?”  The dragonet is speaking French, and internally Hornblower swears. Is French the only language the creature knows? It’s no issue for him, of course, but how can it be expected to be a British dragon if it only knows French? “Captain Horatio Hornblower, most recently of the HMS Sutherland,” he replies, also in French – awkwardly so, because it’s a ridiculously formal introduction to make to a dragon, but in light of never having conversed with one before he’s fallen back on the old habit of saying more than is necessary. “That is not a French name,” the dragon says. In English. “Non – no, it is not. You speak English, then?” “I do.” Pause. “That was a long introduction. I hope you don’t want me to use it whenever I want to call on you?” The idea of a dragon wanting to call on him at all is no less ridiculous than having a conversation with one, but it – he? The voice is deep – has a point. “You can call me 'Hornblower',” he says.

i don't remember who all is writing things that hasn't already been tagged, so if you see this and are a writer, feel free to share!

anyways one thing led to another and now i'm daydreaming about may and nona dancing to "can't take my eyes off you" by frankie valli in the middle of their living room like goofballs because neither of them are really that good at dancing but they ARE really good at holding each other and laughing with each other and being mega in love

i'm thinking about the sunchildren again bc enkanomiya ost is my go-to study music.

Like Ion for example was someone who was inept with telling people's fortunes, but on his grave, it's written "he failed to predict his own short life." Tbh, based on the one conversation we get to have with his Sunshadow, where he tells us that many people of Enkanomiya have such poor luck so he chooses to lie to them instead, I feel that Ion must have known about his death. He doesn't know the context of it or why this is the case, but in that short span of life, he may have just wanted to make people happy, even if it meant lying about their fortunes.

Or Rikoru who was manipulated to believe Aberaku was trying to kill him when it was the one who manipulated him that would be the cause of his death. Aberaku was trying to speak up against the Jibashiri using a child as a puppethead over the rest of Enkanomiya, but of course, the Jibashiri would jail him and tell Rikoru that Aberaku was wrong and that he's just trying to threaten Rikoru. Plus, Rikoru being the first sunchild -- it makes me wonder how did the Jibashiri manage him first, setting a basis of how to treat the Sunchildren before tending to the others. I just wish that there was more information regarding the Jibashiri to understand them more.

Ok but

Why is that response towards demon shit

Your trauma responses once kept you safe. Thank them, then gently let them know their job is done. It's time to grow.
