#and I will kill for him

[terris-mayweather]

Guys! I started the Echo VN today! =D

I'll blog my mental breakdown in real time! =D

(Though probably only one post today.)

Because it's really good so far! But well... There's already been one big red flag and we're 9 minutes in. Went something like this;

"Adorable innocent angel baby character (whom I would kill for, to protect them), making a nonchalant joke:

"No, no. I'm grateful. I'd just rather this not be the place I die, haha."

Me: RED FLAGS EVERYONE! BIG OL' RED FLAGS FOR SALE! (I think I can find the gif and add it...)"

(Since Echo is my obsession currently, and man is it a trip!!! And my previous "6 & 7" was too long and horrible to keep pinned though it might be lost to the matrix now. It SHOULD be under "Terry's echo thoughts", but I don't see it showing up when I search so... Anyway. Love you all, thanks for stopping by!!! If you REALLY want to doom scroll on my wall it's posted around March. 29th)

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

People are so stupid about snakes. If there's a little black racer chilling outside just leave it alone, you don't have to kill it, it's probably dealing with all your pests for you, jesus christ

I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics for the past week, and obsessed with Dick Grayson for longer, so here’s the crossover we all deserve.

Plus, gorgeous sweaty acrobat in gymnastics poses? Only positives.

i do love that the first thing lucanis does when he arrives is make a grocery list. then he cleans the kitchen, sets the table, and starts the kitchen fire. then he goes to the market and gets everyone a personalized Little Treat. then he gets his Own little treat in the form of a coffee. then he just stuffs himself into an actual cupboard and broods. he just hangs out there. in the dark. im obsessed with him. this man was imprisoned for the past year with nothing but a literal demon for company and his first instinct is to care for and feed the party. his second instinct is to be emo. iconic behavior.
