Geez my own reading is failing apparently, I read your post saying "because Jewish" and I thought you were saying they were acting that way because they were jewish

lol who knows, maybe! if you want i could get into jewish infighting too but a lot of it is bundled up in classism, as it is with most religions

Curtwen Week Day 6: Happy Ending

[essektheylyss]

did someone actually hate on your fave? or did they neutrally attribute a trait to them that you've unnecessarily negatively moralized and you hurt own feelings about it? or, perhaps, did you project too hard and now interpret even mild critique or simple acknowledgement of interesting character flaws as an ad hominem attack on yourself?

gung-ho military brat, denied

Kabru probably wasn't just buttering them up here when he said he dreamed of joining the Canaries as a kid lol

[Dungeon Meshi, Chapter 45]

If you take a closer look at what he's wearing as a kid - both in the manga and supplementary materials - you'll notice that more often than not, he's most likely wearing parts of Milsiril's old armor, which is a cute detail.

the anti arguments about age don’t really matter anyway because it’s fiction and not that serious, but it’s especially jarring when people act like the age gap between zutara is so insurmountable. do people realize that in a modern setting (with a western/us american frame of reference bc that’s what i know) based on cut off dates at 14 katara could be a freshman in high school and at 16 zuko a sophomore and it would not be weird for them to date?

Arlecchino's whole deal is unbelievable

Arlecchino: Huh I wonder what's causing my weird powers? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta become King and then kill my "Mother".

*Kills Clervie and "Mother"*

Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I was able to defeat a Fatui Harbinger when I'm like 17 or so? I can't really worry about that right now tho, I've gotta be in jail and become a Harbinger.

*Is in jail for a while and becomes a Harbinger*

Arlecchino: Huh I wonder why I am-

Pierro: Hey what's up hello, anyways you're descended from the Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri'ah. I'm sure that this is a lot for you to take in so-

Arlecchino: Ok.

Pierro: ...You're just cool with that?

Arlecchino: IDK maybe? I can't really worry about that at the moment, I'm a father now. This orphanage full of children I love (who also are child soldiers and are not allowed to leave or else I'll execute them except maybe now I'm just gonna wipe their memories IDK I'm morally complex) isn't gonna run itself.

*Runs the orphanage/spy recruitment initiative*

Me, the fucking player: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE KHAENRI'AN? WHY WASN'T THIS BROUGHT UP IN YOUR FUCKING QUEST?? OR ANYTHING ELSE????

Arlecchino, talking to me through my phone: I honestly don't know why you care, I'm too busy to give a shit. Anyways, I'm gonna go fight fate itself I guess. I'm sure that I don't share any thematic parallels with any other Khaenri'an characters (particularly as it relates to acting and family angst) and that I haven't made the idea of 'curses' on Khaenri'ans and what they entail even more complicated than they already were. See ya.

I'm enjoying Fallout 3 a little more but there’s one thing that’s extremely bothering me.

How come, in the dialogue options, I can NEVER can mention, I was FORCED to leave the vault?

I didn’t have a choice but to leave. Jonas Palmer was beaten to death in attempts to get info about my father James. The Overseer was going to have the same done to me if not WORSE.

The Lone Wanderer: "So they killed Jonas, and I'm next, is that it?"

Amata: "Yeah. It's lucky I got here ahead of them. But we can't stand here talking! You're got to get out of here!"

I understand my father didn't know this would happen. That he simply thought I wouldn't be able to leave the vault after he escaped.

But the fact I can never explain what happened when reunited with him is just so ODD!?!?!!?

I COULDN’T STAY!!!!!!!

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD WANT TO KNOW DAD!!!!!

WHY ARE THESE MY ONLY OPTIONS?!?!?!?!!!!!

Why give me that entire section where I had to escape the vault to avoid MURDER!!?? If they were going to back me in a corner (dialogue wise) that I would've gone after my father no matter what.

It would've made the dialogue option, "Why would you throw away the life we had?" WAY MORE INTENSE AND INTERESTING IF I COULD TELL HIM HIS ACTIONS UNINTENTIONALLY AFFECTED ME!!!

It could've been followed by a cute bonding moment where he apologizes and says while this life was never what he wanted for me he'll now help me adjust however he can.

ok cw weight and fatphobia but i have to be a hater about this site. i saw a poll where there was an image of different sized bodies lined up from the smallest to the biggest and it asked "at what point would you consider "fat" to be an applicable label?" and. yeah. you can imagine the kinds of tags and replies on a post like that. but what surprised me most was the amount of people who were like "oh i'm surprised people voted x. that's a a normal average person's body" like. HELLO?? are you saying fat bodies aren't normal and average. or like that and "in what world is y considered fat" you know it's not a bad thing right? it's ok for people to be fat. a lot of people are fat and it's ok. it's fine. it's not a moral failing. stop calling skinny and mid sized bodies "normal sized" oh my fucking god. "scary how many people consider bodies that are at most chubby fat" why is it scary. "cant believe im actually on the more 'tolerant' end on this website of all places. im really troubled by the amount choosing Z. insane body image problems" what do you mean tolerant. "the results are rancid" why is it rancid to you that some bodies are considered fat. is this like a me issue or are those kinds of comments not fresh.

[roseverdict]

don't cry. pour a small-seeming serving of any pasta noodle you'd like in a deep microwave-safe bowl, just barely cover the noodles with water, microwave for roughly 2 minutes 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 2 more minutes, carefully drain the pasta water from the pasta, liberally mix shredded non-mozzarella cheese into the hot noodles, and pour small amounts of milk in (maaaybe a school milk carton's worth or two at most) to taste and to make it creamier, okay?

I finally womanned up and went to the local queer-affirming church I've been eyeing for ages now. I'm closeted to pretty much every single person in my life, so in a way I guess this was my first time being openly queer in any capacity. It was so healing to share a space with other queer people in real life.

For so long, I've been searching for people who'll love me while seeing me as I truly am. And I was so scared, too, but I guess the mortifying ordeal of being known isn't so mortifying at all once you really get down to it.

I am loved. I am loved. I am Loved.

Love saved me and I am made of love.

(The local pride parade was yesterday and while I couldn't go (re: the whole being closeted thing), this church had a booth there so long story short, I got a cool rainbow rosary in the end 🥹)

i've lived as a transmasc person for about three years, and lately i've had monthly meetings with a gender affirming care team at a hospital in my city. but also lately i've been questioning my gender identity. i don't really know if i experience gender dysphoria anymore or if i actually want testosterone and top surgery and stuff. i think i have changed a lot since i started my (only social) transition. i know it's ok to change labels but i feel so guilty for taking up the time and resources of this care team when i know there are so many people who need it more. i just feel so lost and don't know what to do :/ i hope every other trans person has a good june though!!

i have no idea what shun's percentage is rn but if he gets voted innocent that would be so funny. a guy who has the worst memory ever is cursed to remember nothing but his life in milgram and his murder and he goes on a quest to find his wife (they're not even dating bro is about to commit the exact same mistake that sent him to milgram) who is living in a completely different part of japan. which one? he has no idea but he's excited to find out

he gets voted guilty? okay shun here's a fun prison update called you get sent to the Real prison

[pretentiouswreckingball]

hi loopsie! ⏰ please! sending much love <33

I’m thinking between 6:30pm and 7:30pm because that’s a very gentle hour imo, like it’s when the sun is already set, the sky is colorful and the stars are popping up in the sky.

I think you’re a very gentle person, you give me this nice feeling when I see u, kind of like when u watch the sun set. It’s also an hour when the world is changing rhythms, and the day welcomes the night. You’re a very welcoming person 2 me so :)

look at me, listen to me, trust me:

as somebody who is currently living through the worst trauma and depression of my life, i gotta tell you:

you cannot live on coffee

coffee cannot be your replacement for sleep or nutrients. it will become less effective over time and mess up your endocrine system (the system responsible for hormone and sleep regulation). your stress and anxiety will increase and you may put your heart and kidneys at risk. you also might shit yourself sometimes

this may all seem very obvious but its possible to be in the mindset where Living On Coffee makes sense to you

what i'm saying is coming from a place of experience. and love. you cannot live on energy replacements. no matter how tasty

eat veggies. drink water. sleep. you can do other things, you can indulge, i promise! just please, do basic self care too
