#dont get involved in the shuro drama. dont. dont chime in. not worth it.#someone scruff me im tired of these stupidass takes#like 1. he is a grown ass man. he can correct people himself.#2. he is not a real person. its admirable that you would insist on the comfort of a real life asian who has been stuck with a nickname#but he is not a real life person. he is a character written by a japanese woman who calls him shuro as a shorthand in nearly everything#3. as an east asian 100% hearing people who used to call you by a slightly incorrect nickname suddenly try to use your legal name#UNCOMFORTABLE. hate it. i do not blame that man for not bothering or potentially not wanting to correct laios and others#AND FURTHERMORE#YOU CAN SEE HOW KUI HANDLES NAME PREFERENCES WITH IZUTSUMI VS THE REST OF SHUROS RETAINERS#they have real names too but they use their given code names so thats what theyre listed as in all canon material#izutsumi is introduced as asebi but its a footnote in her character entry bc she doesnt want that name

You can have the best, smartest, most humanitarian laws possible, but they're only worth as much as they're followed and enforced
#musings#this is a general statement but also a commentary on how casually countries like the us and israel commit war crimes#if a country can repeatedly violate the geneva convention in broad daylight and nobody with the power to do anything stops them#or even holds them accountable after the fact#then what good is the geneva convention?#if the un is powerless to stop actual literal genocide because the us and western europe support the genocide#then what's the point of the un in the first place?#and furthermore#those countries supporting israel?#their PEOPLE sure as heck don't#their governments are not representing the will of their people at all

done a lotta thinking about tex tonight but i think tex in a very real way represents the question of who allison church is
#pb.txt#rvb#red vs blue#like. who was allison church?#was she a soldier?#was she a lover? a girlfriend? a wife?#was she none of those things?#was she kind?#was she good?#was she angry?#was she a mother? was she a GOOD mother?#did she care about the war she fought in?#did she not give a shit?#was she only doing it for the money? the benefit? what she could squeeze out of it?#tex examines herself and she thinks about these things#thinks about the ways she might differ from this woman#but wonders if anyone even knows the answers to these questions#and furthermore#why she's the only person asking them#everyone seems so sure of who she is and they all have conflicting images in their heads#how like allison is she? how unlike allison?#does anybody even know anymore?#does it matter if they aren't the same if nobody can tell the difference?#who is allison?#is tex the wrong answer to that question? or is she the question itself?#these are things i write about to avoid having to deal with wash fic dialogue

“What compels people to risk their lives to leave their homes for Europe and ignore offers for help that they fear will send them back to the place they just left” is not the same question as “why did rich person take stupid risk for tourism”
#some of the ancaps who are dismissing these people as subhuman filth are within the logic of their evil thinking#but if you have any pretense at all of being a Christian your religion has a long tradition challenging you to have mercy on migrants#you might have some reason for why you don't think this counts#but I don't think you can be so flip about it#I am unaware of any biblical qualification that limits charity to women and children#and furthermore#this notion that they fucked up their own country and have to deal with it?#we do not apply that standard to ourselves#posts that shed right wing followers and contribute to my negative image among them

Nemesis, holding the severed eyeball she yanked out of her bleeding and probably still sobbing child: There is absolutely no way this could go wrong or backfire on me in the slightest.
#pjo#percy jackson#ethan nakamura#nemesis (pjo)#for a goddess of revenge#she probably should have expected#for him to be slightly less okay#with doing everything she asked of him#and furthermore#and the demigod child of the goddess of revenge#ethan took that whole situation very well#Q

Kingy, I know you had to have shared a dance with your Queen for Valentine's! (or at least sometime this week...or in the future asfghj) Is there a specific song either of you favors most for such an occasion? It'd be nice to know which music should go with the magical visual I've got in my head of you two 👀
BLAHAHAHAHA!
Did I scare you? Of course I did. You don't have to tell me, I can feel your fear through the screen. Heeheehee!
Kingy?
Hm... A fair question. My darling and I have many favorites. At times, we like to freely sway to When Shadows Fall.
It's lovely to hold her in my arms while she sings...
Though, she also has a special interest in carousels. I introduced her to this and you should've seen how happily she glided about the room like an enchanting spirit.
...if I give you any more of our favorites, I'll never shut up about her. Oh, my lovely Lune...
What are you looking at me like that for? Think I'm going soft? I'll have all of you know that a man can rain down destruction and conquer the world all the while still doting on his wife like the treasure she is. It will only make you more tenacious, take it from me!
#and FURTHERMORE#....stop staring at me. I may be a grand ruler but sometimes i cant help my more booish urges. It's embarrassing to want to hide my face.#ONLY MY QUEEN GETS TO SEE ME THAT WAY.#Nonetheless#Thank you for the question! now give me MORE. I demand it.#(Honey please be civil to my friends)#royal phantoms

personally in a relationship i want to agree to get married before a proposal and be married before a wedding. to take the pressure off.
#dils declares#like i want to have discussed how we feel about marriage and what we want from marriage and why were getting married#and be sure we both want to be married and be married to each other. before we have the official will you marry me moment.#and furthermore#i would like to make the legal act of getting married a casual endeavour.#we both have a couple hours to kill on our day off and sign the papers#and then after that we plan our wedding#love is average. its normal. its everyday.#i dont want the expectations put on it to drown it#idk. i thought a lot about it#a wedding would be nice though. id like to wear an embroidered suit.

One of my happily not-particularly-online group chat friends just announced "Emmanuel the Emu survived bird flu!" and. Like. Do I tell him about TikTok Emu Lady Drama? Like, he's just a guy who works at a brewery and is married to a nursing professor. Brain completely free of internet rot. He doesn't deserve to be poisoned by the amount of bullshit I know.
#dan shes a racist who drops off the socials when people remember the racist shit she used to say#and has never apologized for or even acknowledged#AND FURTHERMORE#that bird should have been euthanized dan#and it would have been if they didnt have the florida agriculture commissioner in their pocket

I am convinced the only possible way to be happy is to have absolutely no sense of the self or of one's own needs or desires
But the problem that I keep hitting upon is, there is a certain amount of food you need to live. There is a certain amount of oxygen you need to live. No amount of zen indifference to your surroundings is going to keep you alive in the vacuum of space.
Is there some baseline of emotional well-being you need to have even to begin to abandon your sense of self yet continue to live? If depression is an excessive self-regard or self-obsession, is the problem that you have your legitimate needs met but you don't know, or you have your legitimate needs met but selfishly want more, or could your heightened self-awareness actually be caused by a legitimate problem, in the same way that you can be hyper aware of your leg because your leg is actually broken
#I accept that depression is self-obsession#and in a sense intensely selfish#but does selfishness cause depression or does depression cause selfishness?#you can easily imagine a man who has plenty of food generously sharing his plenty#but you can imagine a man who has plenty but refuses to share and perhaps that is depression#still#starvation is real and a man who is starving to death such that he is almost insane will do astonishing things for food#and furthermore#it is one thing to expect a starving man to give away food every time he finds it#it is another entirely to expect a starving man to give away food he doesn't even have in the first place

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?

I've found that most ppl that genuinely hate kids actually do understand this, but were never allowed that space to learn and grow safely during their own childhoods, so they're taking out their jealousy and anger on innocent children. Same energy as ppl who say "well i was beat as a kid and I turned out fine!" No, No You Absolutely Did Not.
i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.
#kids#tagged as mine for the addition#and FURTHERMORE#y'all need to start going to therapy and stop hating on kids#but also redirect that anger and annoyance to the parents that aren't controlling their fuckin kids#bcs children only learn what's socially acceptable if they're taught what's socially acceptable#the kid’s not out to get you#they might just have lazy ass parents that think the world should bend to their kid's every will so they don't actually have to parent#that isn't their fault#they didn't ask for that

watching early s6 is so funny because you get to see how the uk views the us and it's so wrong.
#text#text post#doctor who#11th doctor#okay well not entirely wrong#the whole bit in impossible planet with the secret service is pretty on point#but what they completely miss is that they are in a Cold War America#this is 1969#the height of the space race#no fucking way are they gonna let a strange dude mess with their spaceship in their efforts to kick russia's ass#and furthermore#this was a time of massive paranoia and fear for the united states#this is when evangelism started to take hold of the u.s.#a spaceship appearing in the middle of the oval office during the space race?? are you out of your mind of course nixon is gonna seize that#us is fighting proxy wars with russia anyone unknown is a commie and russian and is not subject to human rights#i say this as an american who has grown up with the cold war overshadowing our nations worldview#this got very dark and very far away from me#this is in no way a criticism it's just something i think is cool to observe as someone not from the uk#it's honestly kind of refreshing to see my country being portrayed far differently then it is in the states
