#all you can do is fight for the truth

I'm so tired of hearing that Phoenix saved Miles without hearing about any of its implications.

Because Phoenix's savior complex is a major problem not a solution. Because Wrightworth is not about Phoenix saving Miles, it's about them saving each other. Because in Farewell My Turnabout, Miles Edgeworth said "We aren't some sort of heroes. We're only human." and he was right.

I was feeling like a bit of slightly-angsty isolation this thursday, so...

AU where, instead of a double transmigration happening, RokSoo transmigrated to ogCale's body, but ogCale was put into a newly made double of his body and confined into a dimension pocket.

And just, no one knows about it and he can't get out until certain conditions are reached. For example: that someone finally gets rid of WS.

Luckily for him, RokSoo and company are rather fast to kill the white star. It only took them two years, way better than in his previous timeline.

Although, those are still two years in which og!Cale, the 40-year-old war soldier turned an 18-year-old time-traveler, had to spend trapped in that place. Completely alone except for the occasional god checking on him, and a few animals a god had the kindness to let for him. (It was Loki, but no one is going to call him out).

Og!Cale is a person who loves easily and deeply but, contrary to his true nature, someone who lived through decades without deep boundaries to gave him feedback. Whether it was during the war that took everyone he knew from him, or before that, with the family he choose to stay at distance and love them from the side-lines. He lived so long without feeling genuine care, making any emotional bond that isn't one-sided, that he's hungry for them.

Being in the past, where everyone he loves hadn't died yet, where they will live, and being so close— just a dimensional door away, really— but not being able to see them, hear them, nor even talk to them... It hurts.

He's happy and so, so glad. They're alive. They can laugh and eat and breath again— and, someday, he will see them again. Even if they don't know how to act with him and is uncomfortable. Even if, most probably, they don't know he's not there and don't miss him, he will see them again.

So, yeah, he's fine with this situation. He accepted this.

That doesn't mean that the waiting doesn't suck. He, a freedom loving person, trapped in the godly version of a safehouse. Most of the days it's only he, his thoughts and the ridiculous massive library Athena managed to fit in here. And his friends, the animals, of course.

Inside of that lonely place, of course, Cale gets attached to the animals that are by his side everyday. He was already an animal lover, to begin with. The little guys who just go through their lives being absolutely adorable and are more loyal than most people around... How can he not love them?

Besides, Athanasia, the griffin, gives the best cuddles he has ever had.

He gets used, eventually. It's not like he never had lived in a big house where the only beings around wouldn't speak more than three words to him. (Well, at least the animals try to talk with him. He just needed to learn what they mean.)

And Cale can do whatever he wants here. If he wants to play the violin or paint, do acrobatics or keep his training, he can just do it. There's no need to hide. No need to restrain himself.

There's no one here to get sad at her memories. No one to spread rumors about 'skills' or 'talents'. No one to turn his interests into weapons against his own family by comparing Bassen to him.

Eventually, it feels like a different kind of freedom here.

—And then he gets out.

Me: OH SHIT !!!

Piano starts playing

Children of the Land, do you hear ?

Echoes of Truth that once were clear

Two souls entertwined, one true love they did find

Bringing land and heavens near

Me: Nope, I'm not going to cry. We have a wyrm to kill and a friend to save.

After-fight cutscenes happens:

Me: floodgates opens

Ah, for the people who have blocked me bc I am simply (and reasonably) asking for proof of the validity of wildly circulated misinformation based on nothing but hearsay that is actively damaging hurricane relief efforts, and stirring even greater division among our fellow citizens:

I sincerely hope you have done so for reasons of not discoursing on the internet with a stranger in a way that for you is detrimental to your mental health, and not bc you refuse to acknowledge and discuss the possibility that you might be wrong.

One thing is very healthy, the other is very dangerous and sad.

Just said "sheesh, Kenna, you're the smartest person I know" out loud while reading your tags on the FMA Truth and Ed's atheism post. Then I realized that Indiana probably doesn't care as much for this information as you might lolol

honestly i'd originally written a really annoying ramble about gods in fiction under that post and now i'm so glad i deleted it to write that much more succinct breakdown of my thoughts on the matter

Yom HaShoah (the Jewish/Israeli day of holocaust remembrance) is upon us. I was looking for interesting or informing posts to reblog, I mean there is always a lot to say about the rise of antisemitism or the violence Jewish communities keep facing nearly 80 years after the holocaust, and like... what's a better time than right now? It's literally the remembrance day for the holocaust, the most brutal act of hatred and violence and antisemitism in the modern times! A systematic mass murder, the destruction of centuries old communities!

The word "genocide" was invented after these atrocious and vile actions against human beings, actions that happened just 80 years ago. When you look at the vast history of the world, these crimes are so close to us, there are still holocaust survivors living with us today!

These are all facts, and yet people have doubted them for all of this time. Fuck, people continue to doubt them to this day! Doubts that keep growing and rising, doubts that grow into "alternative facts" which in turn grow to hatred and more antisemitism and more ignorance and more violence in a cycle I thought have stopped in 1945.

So when I was looking for more coherent posts that say exactly that - I found way too many antisemitic users spreading lies and hatred against my people, the Jewish people. I don't know what to say to that. I'm just sad and broken in more ways than I thought I would be today.

Antisemitism is here to stay, I guess. These voices are too loud, unafraid to be heard, roaming not just the internet but that's their base these days. These horrible posts will circle around, not just in the right wings but in the left as well, until someone decides to act on them and murder a Jew just because of their identity. It's 2023 and the past has taught us nothing.

I'm not naive anymore, I'm not hopeful. The world is a violent place, more than it used to be when I was a child. I'm scared, I truly am.

Never again, am I right?

the thing thats always missing in conversations about gender in general is the fact that 'cis', as an identity, is not a innate Thing Some People Are, but rather a state of acceptance society grooms us into from birth
