Continuing to feel grumpy due to moving (and re-reading terrible, infuriating caselaw), so Flamethrower snark below the cut, feel free to skip.
Tumblr media
So let's open up google in a new private window (to avoid biasing my search results toward legal sources). Search "allegation".
First result: Google's default on-page answer, sourced from Oxford Languages.
Tumblr media
I'm going to skip this one in my final count b/c you shouldn't trust google's default answers, kids. It's just here for completeness.
Second result: the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
Tumblr media
Third result: the Cambridge Dictionary.
[Due to the page formatting, the different definitions won't fit into a single screenshot, so I am putting them in separate screenshots below and skipping the examples]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fourth Result: Dictionary.com
Tumblr media
Fifth result: Vocabulary.com
Tumblr media
Sixth result: Cornell's Legal Information Institute
Tumblr media
SEVENTH RESULT, WE FOUND IT: Collin's Dictionary
Tumblr media
...hey wait that's not what her screenshot says.
hmmm.
Let's scroll down...
...past the examples...
...past the multiple video pronunciations...
...past the "You May Also Like"....
oh hey there it is!
Tumblr media
...wait except where did that fourth definition go in her screenshot.
Just. My god. Even assuming that she already had Collin's definition bookmarked or her google search was different and she didn't scroll past five separate entries to find a definition that she could crop, she still had to scroll past another definition and several screens of videos and ads to crop this screenshot, which again, she literally had to crop to prevent even the suggestion that an allegation doesn't mean "a fake statement no one can prove."
P.S. It's especially funny b/c she keeps putting on this veil of legal authority and she specifically crops out the legal definition. Also, where's my citation to the U.S. Code to tell me what "FEDERAL CRIMES" she alleges have been committed.
P.S.S. the reason people use "allegations" is because many of us are referring to incidents we did not personally observe and that have not been proven to a legal standard. This is partially out of habit of concerns about legal threats, but mostly (at least in my case), out of a concern for precision of language: I believe that she abused jabberwockypie. I say these are allegations, however, because I do not feel comfortable claiming personal knowledge of their veracity. For example, I do not allege that she is currently behaving in an abusive way toward her followers (e.g. the way she is engaging with and presenting anon hate): I assert it because it is a claim I have the personal knowledge and experience to back up. Furthermore, even by the highest legal standard (in the american legal system), no more proof is needed to "prove" an allegation than the testimony of a single witness. Jabberwockypie's word is the "proof" of her own allegations - whether you choose to believe that proof is up to you.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
#star trek#Vulcans#Humans#not based on a specific thing#but I used to know this annoying couple that were ‘family friends’#who would show up to potluck dinners and the like and would either bring nothing or bring something really just. out of left field?#like a bag of frozen chicken to a bbq#and then proceed to make sure they are first even if it was stated to let kids go first#would take HUGE amounts before anyone else got a chance to get a plate#and then make off with the leftovers again even if they were already claimed for#and it wasn’t a food insecurity thing trust me I would never speak bad about a person getting food if that was even a remote chance#the adults who raised us knew them really well and we’d been to their house a ton of times#they were just dicks#and yeah. they’d occasionally insult the food. while eating the MAJORITY of it.#it was so weird at their home they would go out of their way to get the healthiest options possible#you know the really bland tasteless expensive stuff that apparently was healthier#but then if they were visiting our house they would. eat all our unhealthy snacks.#that always pissed me off so much as a kid because we actually had a food insecurity thing going on#and also a variety of other reasons that are a bit too depressing to bring up on this post#but anyways we’d hardly ever get to have nice snacks#and this couple would just take them all??? even after we’d tell them repeatedly that it was ours and those snacks weren’t gonna be#replaced#hated that couple#if you’re wondering why they were ‘family friends’ it’s because the couple who raised us#(it feels weird to type it out like that but apparently legal guardians doesn’t fit since they never finished petitioning 💀)#liked having them around because it made them look like ‘such great Christian’s’ being nice to the people#that no one else wanted to be friends with#I always thought that was a really weird and fucked up reason to be friends with someone#this got long sorry 😭

Just gonna say it:
A lot of AFTG fans' insistence on erasing Neil's demisexuality while shooting down any argument against it with "but it's my headcanon!1!" or "he shows attraction to women in the books!!" (he doesn't) while not doing this to any of the other characters with canon sexualities (Andrew, Nicky, Jean, Jeremy, Cat, Laila) is acephobic
Also in the book, because apparently some of you misread this bit, is that he kissed a couple girls while on the run and was not into it. Kissing people does not inherently signify attraction, and he pretty clearly says he found doing so awkward and uncomfortable until Andrew. He also clearly states he only had an interest in girls because he knew other guys his age were attracted to them and wanted to know what the hype was about.
Neil is confirmed to be demisexual by the author, and literally says in the books that he's not suddenly sexually or romantically attracted to other people just because he's attracted to Andrew (there is literally a whole scene about it).
Neil is not gay because he's attracted to a man, he's not bisexual because he's kissed both boys and girls. He's demisexual because he only experiences actual attraction for people he's formed a deep emotional bond with, and that just so happens to be a guy.

How it feels to not like timebomb after s2
Tumblr media
#I'M NOT A HATER I SWEAR I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE IT ON PAPER#i do however think that it came literally out of nowhere and was hella rushed and kinda ridiculous#like. if the argument is that original ekko fell in love with jinx it doesn't make sense because they were enemies for most of their lives#if the argument is that current ekko fell in love with au powder and now projects these feelings on jinx it's kinda uh. messed up#because she's a whole different person. entirely. it doesn't matter if both these version started out as a 9-year old powder. they had#extremely different lives and experiences and thinking that “there's still this kind of powder in jinx deep down” is straight-up awful#OR even if he didn't project his feelings for powder on jinx why would he love her in the current universe? last time they met she blew them#up and now she wants to commit suicide. there's literally no reason for him to have any kind of feelings except the slight friendly#affection that's left from all those years ago. and yet the show and most importantly the fandom treats them like a couple??? i don't get it#also it's kinda insane that s2 turned jinx and ekko into flat shipping material#again. obviously i have nothing against the shippers and do not condemn it in any way. i'm just expressing my thoughts on the matter#also what pisses me off the most. is how in ep9 jinx in fully painted with ekko's symbols here and there. has the bandage (?) on her chest#like vi. has a hood that looks like a drawing that isha made. and yet there's no fishbones or any reference to silco at all#i mean. i get it s2 hates him but i can't help it#they gave her all these relationships and pretended that they're significant to her and yet they didn't have any proper development#to really earn it#arcane critical#arcane season 2#anti timebomb#jinx arcane#ekko arcane

DAY 71: shy
#codacheetah#isat#loop isat#isabeau isat#isat spoilers#i'll never get over loop being described as 'shy'. what a wonderful image#top one casual remarks from isabeau that cleaves loop's facade#like loop's personality is just a targeted missile to piss siffrin off. they're not at all confident and snarky#they're doing like the physical manifestation of winning an argument against yourself in the shower#second they see the party though Oopsies we're in scary territory. That's your family and they dont know it's you Oops#ok anyways ever since i saw that post i was like damn. this is just how i view loop in party postcanon#for as much as I think they SHOULD go explore around and be their own person for a while i think realistically they would not do that.#theyre going to go be a weird freak hovering around the party and refusing to socialize with anyone but siffrin and theyre gonna feel awful#(read: they're going to antagonize siffrin and it fails tremendously bc now The Rumor Come Out and siffrin knows what loop is doing.)#like loop as much as they can barely stand to even look at isabeau (for instance) i think their claws are sunk far too deep in.#onehats maybe the circumstances are different because there is a gap in understanding. there's no point forcing siffrin to confront the#obvious conclusion that loop is them (and thus siffrin's happy ending nails loop's coffin)#(THIS IS IGNORING TWOHATS PREREQS GOTTEN ONEHATS. BC THATS ITS OWN CAN OF WORMS)#but twohats. idk. for as much as it lets loop release some of their rage and process their feelings a bit. i think it might also be the pus#that makes loop consider their own existence as a person a bit more. theyre not a sponsor->corpse theyre just loop#theyre just somebody who wants desperately. they want to stay with them#theyre still siffrin. if also loop.#i think loop would force themself to reconnect with the party in the same vein as siffrin forcing himself to communicate more.#but of course having conviction and living an experience are not the same thing. so siffrin's going to flounder the emotional honesty thing#tremendously and loop's going to be. blair witching it in the corner.#hey i might have forgotten which post i was writing the tags under. oopsies#idk if these tags are comprehensible at all. i just really want to see loop fail upwards into friendship with everyone

MOCHI-- hi, welcome back, sorry I've been busy and haven't said hi yet BUT--
*Play fighting with the tweels.* Is the respective eel letting you win? Oh yes. Or play fighting as a flirting tactic. Play fighting as just a courting thing with them.
Oh, he loves to see how strong his little darling is-- feisty? Oh so great. They're having the best time.
Either tweel, honestly. Either of them. (Both?)
Anyway, got excited to share lol. Welcome back!
Hi babe! I'm happy to see you again it's been a while since I've seen a notif from you!!
The twins definitely like play fighting and they 100% consider it a courting method. Generally, the more predacious merfolk look for partners that will fight them, as a strong mate is someone who can protect you or it allows you to demonstrate that you'd be an excellent protector. It depends on what the merperson leans towards.
I think they especially like it as most people on land are relatively cautious around them and hesitant to fight. Even some of the Savanaclaw students are afraid, but when they see little old you ready to throwdown (like a dumbass)?
Oh they're in love. It's so funny! And cute! And they will most likely overpower you, but seeing you still try and throw fists is so fucking cute and funny they'll allow it.

literally my boyfriend is my painkiller.
Whenever I'm with him my pain goes down so much I can ignore it. Yea sometimes there's days where nothing helps the pain but at least he's there to take care of me. Most times tho his presence has a drastic effect on my pain levels. Maybe it's cause when he's around I feel less stressed and more safe and secure? Or maybe it's cause he's basically a human-shaped heating pad

I can’t wait to see like, the relationship dynamic shifts between Louis and Lestat as the show goes on. Season 1 just had so much energy between them and they play off each other so well, but season 2 kind of throws a little curveball in there and we start to see something even more nuanced and tender. Louis’ breakdown of his recollections reveal a lot and their reunion reveals even more. AND. They’ve both been changed by experiences and time. How will they be with each other going forward? What is new and what is old? I don’t think they’ll ever seem quite the same again. I think they’ll seem much more balanced, much more equal in their approach to each other. I want to see Louis actively pursue Lestat a little. I want to see vulnerable and guarded and humbled Lestat not really knowing what to do with that. I want to see Lestat’s perspective on their relationship and how he views Louis. Mostly I want to see the real Lestat interacting with Louis and Louis fully settled with himself. I can’t wait
