Willy sensing equal love and fear from scary

Is the same he felt with ron

Where Ron was always hopeful like that fateful day when they go fishing but when he has the (potential) opportunity to save his dad he's so scared to fuck it up he can't move until it's too late

I mean, Willy says it's a coin toss he chose scary but to me it's nostalgia to have this chokehold control over a child, his grandchild instead of his child

robin: just tell steve! im sure he likes you back!

eddie: no.. he doesn't.

robin: you don't know that.

eddie: but i do, buckley! i've been through this before, and it always ends the same way. i tell him, and he'll give me that... that look. then he won't talk to me. he'll avoid me for as long as i exist.

robin: he won't-

eddie: i know, you rejected him and came out to him, but it's.. it's different.

robin: i know it's different. i was the one rejecting him. it was scary though. i was telling this guy i knew for a few days that im into girls. i understand what you're going through, eddie.

eddie: he's in love with nancy. he has been, and always will be. if i tell him, steve will just see me as an obstacle towards winning back nancy.

robin: well, your speech about how he should win her back didn't help either of us.

eddie: i was putting things into perspective. he loves her. i just needed a reminder that i had no chance and that i needed to stop trying.

robin: he won't love her forever. they aren't good for each other. and i think he knows that.

eddie: but, what if he does love her forever?

robin: then you give up. you find someone else. and that may seem impossible, but there are billions of people on this planet. im sure one of them need an eddie in their life.

Day 5 of Recovery Therapy

Patient has been mobile for two days. Motor function is good, balance and coordination also good. Patient still has intense migraines and memory overlap but individual personality and behaviour is unaffected.

Mentally; is undergoing counselling to address issues identified. While the presence of his spouse is at times...a distraction for staff, his presence and involvement in Mr. Mendelson's recovery is helping his mental health from further deterioration.

It may be some time before he can resume Netrunning activities, and this has caused some distress. However Mr. Mendelson and Mr. Eurodyne have agreed to continuing specialist therapy to assist him on this path.

My mind is a little all over the place. But I need some insight…

What age do you all think I am? Basing it off of how I interact and talk with you all, and even what I post. How old do you perceive me to be?

Tumblr already has a personalization algorithm it's called my beloved mutuals who have great taste and only wish to psychologically damage me sometimes

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.
