#all the innocent people that die

Saying that shen jiu's abuse of luo binghe is "not necessarily evil" because abusing others can be a "cry for help" is surely a take....a very awful take. Yes he needed therapy, A LOT of therapy. But HE didn't want help, by that point he was committed to keep being miserable and make others suffer too, he wanted lbh to die, how the heck is that a cry for help?

He was a very traumatized adult in a position of power continuing the cycle of abuse, very aware of what he was doing, and who should have never been in charge of children

disco elysium fandom. y'all are super cool ily but we DESPERATELY need to talk about media literacy and some of y'alls perception of the characters. cus recently i've seen way too much discourse where jean is either the spawn of satan or kim is the second coming of Christ. GUYS. GUYS. they are BOTH flawed individuals, they are both extremely human characters and reducing then to either JUST their positive or negative attributes is such a disservice to the masterpieces of writing that they are.

kim especially to me is so interesting to discuss on how the fandom treats him as a God (i get it dw i love him dearly but he's not a saint) since we view him exclusively from harry's perspective, y'know the guy who basically pulled him out of his depression coma and stopped him from spiralling even more and potentially killing himself, so of course harry is more likely to ignore kim's flaws and, by proxy, the player is too

hello good evening tonight i’m thinking about shoko and how desensitized she is :33 thinking about a naive reader who admires her and looks up to her and feels their world come crashing down when she has to put a scalpel to their best friend’s corpse after a mission gone wrong and doesn’t even bat an eye .

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

I feel like Gin has high chances of living even in logic route

Look, every candidate left there at least likes him:

Sara was Gin's big sis the whole game, she saved him three times already (bird cage, final attraction and banquet), among other things for his sake she used her wish, which could have been used in different situation;

Keiji was ready to be executed in the banquet if Sara chose to kill Midori (he may have had some plan, but maybe no). He made Sara kill Midori, in fact, even when she'd rather sacrifice Gin;

Even Shin, despite promising to avenge Kanna and kill her voters, desperately begged Midori, whom he really hated, to not kill innocent child.

So unless Gin sacrifices himself or puts himself in yet another danger (sadly, he can do that), he'll probably live.

Also, happy birthday to Gin!

I strongly agree that there are world events that deserve much more news coverage and resources than the Titan because frankly it should’ve been immediately assumed they were dead when sonar couldn’t find them and communication was lost.

However, I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to compare the EU coast guard and the US and Canada's various first response teams that responded to the Titan. Because they’re separate entities.

Do I think people should care more about the refugee ship that capsized due to alleged incompetence of the coast guard? Yes. I do. And I hope more survivors can be found because that was a genuine tragedy.

Do I think that it should be getting the same kind of attention as the Titan? Not really. Because people are just memeing on the Titan, and the average tumblr user has around $0.20 to their name and maybe 400 followers so this isn’t a very good platform for getting meaningful help for those affected by that situation.

This isn’t even a “you can care about two things at once” situation, because again with the Titan you should be very amused by 4/5 of those deaths whereas there’s nothing funny about what happened to that fishing ship. These are very different niches in cultural awareness and your ire should be towards media companies over random people on social media.

Thinking about all the things AU Luz had to do as a kid to be a good daughter to Belos and also believing the empire used to be good. She obviously has seen petrifications in action, but I’m curious if she’s ever had to *start* some. As in Belos just nudges her towards the accused and asks her to read the execution order or smthing. Cue then AU Luz and Canon Luz facing off each other after the canon crew is transported there and AU Luz being like girl, yes, I am your evil doppelgänger, i’ve killed before, like, multiple times etc

AU luz: i am evil, i am destruction, i am harbinger, i helped belos inflict untold cruelty and maintain his empire and now i've inherited everything he built and i can't burn it down fast enough, you won't ever understand the depth of what i've-

canon luz: oh hey, look on the bright side, though! you probably didn't help him fast-track a genocide in this timeline, right?

AU luz:

canon luz:

AU luz: you did What???

Hey not to make a political post but does it ever feel like we can just never win and the suffering will be forever and we're always going to have to fight with moments of peace being fleeting and not worth looking forward to

[maxbegone]

Quite honestly don’t give a shit anymore. The answer has been and always will be to support Palestine and to hold Israel accountable for what they’ve done. Enough sides, enough trying to justify actions. The cleansing of an entire state is not the correct option for dismantling a terrorist group.

And I’ll say it for you in case anyone in your personal life has said otherwise: you supporting Gaza is not an uneducated decision, it is not the wrong side of history, and supporting protests is not violent.

When the whole world is watching in horror at pure inhumane destruction, and the select few are not, the answer to the question of whether or not you’re supporting the right side is laid right there in front of you.

okay, so i believe it's time to talk about what kind of powers misao possesses. let me start off by saying that she is by no means invincible and/or invulnerable: so, she can be defeated in combat, of course. i just wanted to affirm that with y'all because she does have an enhanced healing factor. but unlike a regenerative healing factor, which heals a lot of things pretty much automatically, it does still take a good amount of time for her to heal. i'd say it's just a bit faster than a human's ability to heal, and so she can not do things like regrow limbs / reattach her head.

BUT to counteract her lack of a more proficient healing ability... misao and all jorōgumo can produce very sharp, silk-like threads and manipulate them to their liking to attack other's + create constructs out of these silk threads that can be used as weapons. and thus, one could argue that she has a certain 'advantage' over humans since this is a long-range attack, which would mean only they would have to get closer to her in combat if they didn't have any long-range weapons themselves. being a spider in actuality, misao can also make webbing that comes from within her. also, because of her true nature as a spider, misao can control diminutive spiders or just regularly sized spiders at will.

another, and her last ability, is that she has venom available at her disposal much like a real spider that targets the central nervous system / is a potent neurotoxin ( in which she would transfer directly into someone through a bite ) buttt the thing is is that she will often not use this method of killing, and/or seriously harming someone because of how long it takes for her body to regenerate the venom. thus, most of the time, misao will only use it if she is in a very dire situation where she has to defend herself or someone she cares about.

and as a result, those who are in combat with her don't really have to worry about her using this ability unless she's genuinely on death's door or something of that nature. so yeah; i hoped this gave you all a little more insight as to what exactly she can do with her powers as a jorōgumo.

Hoping against hope that DD reads "The House of My Mother: A Daughter's Quest for Freedom" and brings Shari Franke on his podcast to discuss the dangers and horrendous, soulless incentive of family vlogging.
