I can't find it now but there's a post about suspension of disbelief and how it's broken when the story starts trying to excuse it. "character gets knocked unconscious for hours but there's no further issues from this" okay 👍 "and actually this makes perfect sense because of this and that" um no it doesn't why are you lying to me. like i am willing to ignore the holes and the discrepancies!! all you need to do is let me and not bring unnecessary attention to it!!!
and all that is my issue with the whole robin child soldier argument. like i am willing to ignore it i am willing to engage with the fantasy literally all you need to do is NOT try to convince me that Actually It's Fine Because They Want To Do It or whatever. like literally just shut up about it and i can engage with the fantasy!!
#my dc posting#dc#robin#batman#like. if you want to tell a story and not worry abt the child endangerement thing just DONT BRING IT UP ???#all you're doing when you bring it up is telling me this is something i'm allowed to think abt when it comes to the story#and then you tell me Um Actually It's Fine ?? no! what the fuck are you talking about!!#i am tryinggggg to just have fun n read fics your lil “isnt that child endangerement and kinda fucked up?” “no actually they wouldve done i#anyways bla bla bla batman couldnt have stopped them bla bla bla''#is COUNTERPRODUCTIVEEE#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#damian wayne#<- tagging the robins sorry#sorry this just. this topic annoys me so much#...also ''batman couldnt have stopped them/they wouldve done it with or without him'' are literally#just factually incorrect in jason's case. he did not in fact start on his own and the only thing batman wouldve#needed to do to stop him is literally just NOT make him robin BUT- at this point im just beating a dead horse on that topic#w how many times i bring it up lmao#like. in real life you cant just knock a person unconscious for hours with no consequences on them.#but i dont care when it happens in fiction despite being not realistic!! bc its fiction!!!#unless of course the characters out of nowhere do a lil sidequest PSA abt how actually doing that is fine#and completely safe with no risks#yknow??#like if that happened id be annoyed and like no its fucking not fine why are you trying to convince me. just move on and dont bring it up#and I wont bring it up#anyway. yeah these are just some thoughts im having rn sorry its not more coherent and put-together i cant be assed rn lmao

There's a post going around abt price lying about his sex life and why do I think Simon would be the same way? He's like nah mate I don't fuck but goes home to reader every time to make sure that mattress still has an impression of reader
that's funny because i think price would fucking boast. you know those 'we trying for a baby' 'why tf do i wanna know you getting stuffed full of cum' memes? that's him.
oh he's letting everyone and their mom fucking know that he's going in with only the gun he keeps by his bedside as protection cuz babyyyy-
and do not asking him what positions to have some sort of cheeky gotcha moment he will spill any and all beans. he doesn't care. proud of it. he's got a heavy sac and a full heart and ain't ashamed in the least.
simon is the one that lies. yeah, he could have tons of one nighters. used to, too. the boys know him well enough that if he up and leaves in the middle of a 141 night out, he's gotten in someone's pants. and he still does that. doesn't say a word after finishing that swill soap calls beer and just-
leaves. blends into the shadows and disappears. soap tends to give some crass whistle too like don't do anything i wouldn't do but he's just running to go home to you cuz he:
misses you
needs to be inside you
also tired, social battery is empty
he doesn't tell even price anything. it makes him feel a bit bad, almost. (keyword almost. you're the upmost priority and if john is the man simon knows him to be, he'd understand)
he trusts him to always have his six no matter what and here simon is, hoarding you like a dragon does his treasure but he just can't risk anyone knowing of you. will not come home to an empty, bloodied home like he did last time.
all it takes is one slip of the tongue. one word to fall onto listening ears for you to get taken and killed, if not worse. he's made one too many enemies. he knows he's dangerous. knows his life's dangerous. but he gives up so much for his country so the least anyone can let him have all for himself is you.
and no photos taken :) except for the ones he lets you take of yall on polaroid.
#anyone that poses a risk to you is automatically dead i'm afraid#there is no talking things out with him#he's completely irrational when it comes down to the bird he's got stowed away nice and safe#downright crazy tbh

something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line
“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”
“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"
but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.
he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.
his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.
ghost doesn't let him.
"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."
soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.
he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."
the ice in soap's eyes fractures.
ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.
“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”
#in my head its bc graves abducts his sister and is using her as hostage to draw him out knowing ghost will always follow him#but the intensity and intimacy of saying ‘you cant trust your mind not to betray you so let me be in charge of your body until you can’#after what happened to tommy he could never deny johnny his right to save his sister#but its bc of what happened to tommy that he knows he cant let him do it alone with only his rage to guide him#hes more likely to get himself killed and ghost wont live through that#so he has to balance it#and the only way he knows how is to completely shut down soap’s mind until hes no more than instinct and muscle memory#if he cant think practically then dont let him think at all#reduce him to a place where he can only follow orders#and when its finally over and his sister is safe and graves is dead#only then will he drag johnny back up to the surface#he’ll do it even if it means dragging him kicking and screaming back to humanity#instead of letting him sink in the depths where nothing hurts. theres no fear down there. no pain. only order#and thats the risk ghost took sending johnny to that place but he only did it bc he would stop at nothing to bring him back#and help him through the after#the breakdown. the rush of panic and rage and relief and anguish johnnys been supressing on his order#it was his word that turned johnny into a ghost#and its his touch that brings him back to the man#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#we’re a team. ghost team#cod#soapghost#ghostsoap#ghost x soap#ghoap#simon ghost riley#ghost cod#john soap mactavish#soap cod#save post

I'd say the 'aware of loss of faculties until they aren't' description is apt, but with less of the horror that most humans experience with this knowledge. Units have a sense of personhood, but archin do not tend to philosophically imagine a 'self'. Their consciousness being an emergent property of many interacting bodies kind of precludes the illusion of some core, unchanging individual essence.
The basic experience of being divided is something every unit would have been through, an entire unit is not in literal constant communication and will temporarily divide itself even down to the individual to perform simple tasks (though always with the comfort of scent trails leading back to the collective).
It would still be unsettling and a source of deep melancholy. The pain would be more knowing that there is no going back, the scent trails lead nowhere, there are no more eggs being laid that will replace the parts of you that die or are separated. You would increasingly struggle with abstract concepts and complex ideas, the edges of your personality would slowly be smoothed out, you are increasingly running on raw instinct. You remember everything, but without any way to organize these memories into anything more than flashes. Most of the pain would be a profound sense of loneliness.
How a merger would feel would depend on how much of the unit remains. If its personality is more or less intact, it will probably survive as the same 'person' (mergers are usually accomplished with recently pupated ants, or by taking a few individuals from many units so as not to disrupt other consciences). If it's down to just a few ants, any remnant of the original personality will be lost upon the merger and they will settle into the new personality (perhaps subtly changing it, as all units do over time, but not in a distinct, easily identifiable way). The only thing that remains of the former unit is their raw memory. Even individual archin have very good memories and their learned experiences will supplement the new consciousness with everything it has experienced. So the new merger might learn and 'remember' the pain of loss, though not in a complex way (complex memories, like being able to tell a story, are stored in the collective and not the individual).
Mergers between roughly equal numbers of ants are rare and only done in desperation due to being incredibly disruptive to the personality of each, and a very literal danger that individual archin will become panicked and attack the 'foreign' bodies. A large ratio is ideal so one side has enough of an intact group consciousness to tamp down these impulses, and ability to physically restrain the other side until they have calmed and accommodated to the new scent. All mergers have risks of aggression, but introducing similar numbers is especially risky and sometimes fails entirely due to too many being killed in the process.
#Mergers in general are really tricky and have to be done with great care so as not to be destructive#inter-colony interactions are almost always done in full units because singular archin will likely become hostile and kill foreign bodies#if not restrained by calming chemical signals from the collective mind#For a merger to be (almost) completely safe it has to be done with the assistance of a full unit from each source colony to#supplement that calming effect until any aggressive impulse will have dwindled and their scents are thoroughly integrated#Even then pretty much every merger results in the deaths of at least a couple individuals. It's kind of just part of the deal and#(depending on the unit size) they can lose anything between like 1-20 individuals at once without having any significant effects#Intracolony mergers don't have this issue though and the only real risk is disrupting personality and skillsets and complex memory#Though memory is less of an issue (unless very new and recent memories are at stake) because units gradually distribute their#complex memories to the whole colony#archin#EDIT: I missed part 2 of your comment but this sort of answers part of it? I'll add the rest in a reply probably tomorrow

i try to spread information and stuff because that usually makes people more receptive to understanding how serious covid is, but a lot of being covid safe is being full of anger and frustration and hopelessness. for a lot of people, it’s not hard to wear a mask or not go places when they’re sick. so many people could still be taking precautions but just… won’t. and many of them (especially people close to me) are people who will talk about progressive policies and community care and allyship to marginalised communities but obviously won’t take the step to actually practice what they preach. i’m just tired of being told that i’m an acceptable sacrifice for people’s facade of normalcy
#‘i don’t see a lot of people masking anymore though��� a lot of us are stuck inside unless it’s completely necessary to go out. at this point#unless i’m getting food or going to class or going to a medical appointment i do not leave my room because so many people around me are sick#and it is not safe for me to risk covid#please. i’m begging people. wear a mask#there’s so many things people could do but at the top and the biggest and easiest way to keep yourself and others safe is to just mask up#coronavirus#y’all can reblog this if you want

as a reminder, the exact wording of the prediction is "if you kiss your true love, he will die"
#i think about this all the time. i think they may be fine but if i were blue i would never risk it#it's the 'if' rather than 'when' for me. she did kiss him and then he did die. so the prophecy is completed#but i'm playing it safe!!! and also asking my psychics for advice probably#trc#the raven cycle#personal#polls

Trying very very very very hard not to go all doomer over the election results
#I don't. I don't think I can talk to other people at the moment. I've lost almost all trust#I should mention that every person in political power from my state to my county to my city are now all Republicans#All with stated policies to get rid of trans people and implement a whole lot of other horrible stuff#As a trans person I don't feel safe#As an afab person I don't feel safe#I don't know if I want to *be* around people anymore after this#It feels like any hope I had of being able to transition or live happily in my body just got tossed out the window#Trying very hard to get my brain to not convince itself that I'm just. Dead. Just completely dead.#It feels like my death is fast approaching and inevitable and will be the result of actions and legislation upon me and others#And will not be on my terms#I want to keep living#I don't want to get killed or irreversible injured or assaulted for existing in public#But that risk has now increased exponentially#And it was already high to begin with#I feel betrayed but I'm not sure by who exactly#Because the people who did this were never on my side#But somehow it feels like I got double crossed in some way#I don't. I don't even feel safe just sitting here in my room

there is so much aggressive misinfo abt toxic shock syndrome out there its a nightmare
#1st off 80% of the population is just straight up immune#no it is not caused by chemicals on tampons and all but one of the leading scientists who study it assert that the risk comes from#oxygen entering the vaginal canal which causes staphylococcus aureus bacteria to multiply -> bacteria produces TSST-1 toxin#-> toxin enters bloodstream -> causes TSS#the reason that heavy absorbancy products create more of a risk is they give the bacteria more room to multiply this is why the rely tampon#caused a spike in TSS cases in the 70s-80s they were fucking massive#there's disagreement from scientists abt how much the amount of time you leave a tampon in actually affects the risk of TSS but to be safe#still just keep it to 8 hrs because either way old blood is not great for introduction of other potentially harmful (but not deadly we're#talking like yeast infections here) bacteria#literally there are like 20 US cases of TSS per year. plenty of those aren't period related#chances of getting it even if you leave a tampon in a few hours more than 8 are practically 0#also cups can cause tss for fucks sake. its also practically a 0 chance but saying they can't cause it is completely untrue.#i've got a really good article discussing how TSS actually works if anyone wants it just send me an ask or a dm#.log

Kevin is a fun character for me because the character the game repeatedly tells us he is and the character the game repeatedly shows us he is are just… blatantly two different characters, but regardless of which one you choose to believe is canon, he’s still one of the most sympathetic mf in the game and I will be very upset if he’s actually killed off
#honkai impact#kevin kaslana#where are my fellow Kevin enthusiasts at?#‘the only person he cares about is Dr. MEI-‘ hoyo you literally introduced him by showing us him repeatedly reliving one Sakura’s death#and the guilt that consumed him because of it and the various other sacrifices he had to make#those are not the actions of a dude who doesn’t care!!!#he built Hua a god damn sanctuary to keep her safe!#he chose saving Su’s life over completing project stigma (you know… Dr. MEI’s frickin legacy)#the Kaslana stigma version of him shows that he fucking loves his family and values their accomplishments#he cried over Elysia’s death#the ER version of him fucking risked it all to save her sim#hell he even recruited Mei just to honor Ely’s legacy and show her she won#in ‘the demon’ rememberance vessel they explicitly say he was desperately trying to keep Su out of the fight all together#and also did his best to keep Mobius away from Su#and in EE he only talked to Aponia just so Su didn’t have to#Mihoyo these are not the actions of someone who doesn’t care#also he kept Fu Hua’s feather safe and gave it back to Senti so she could get her body back#Kevin deeply loves all his friends and family and nothing Mihoyo says can convince me otherwise#he did everything for them not just for Dr. MEI#I can’t even judge his actions#like he’s literally just some guy- how is he supposed to know how to save the world#these aren’t even his plans. he’s just trying his best#I’d also go a little insane if I was powerless to stop most of my loved ones from dying and the world from being destroyed in front of me#I can’t blame him for not immediately trusting the power of friendship#man makes sense to me

Me seeing all the comments under Glasto-themed posts blaming Alex for being sick and calling off Dublin
I'm barely able to fold that knife though.... And I'm not trusting myself that it'll stay folded.
#I really have no words for people who lack the basic minimum amounts of sympathy and understanding#and YES IT'S POSSIBLE HIS SYMPTOMS CLEARED UP IN JUST 4 DAYS#am I worried they didn't completely? yes. but they might have. and either way they're Definitely A LOT better after him resting#taking care of himself. possibly getting some meds prescribed. hydrating. not talking. sleeping#What did they want him to do. go out and mime the songs for them?#go up and barely utter some words through the hoarseness - make things worse and call of yhe next month if shows instead?#risk getting actual chronic laryngitis? risk his whole career?#the hell is wrong with people#you've got no idea how scared I was & am for my show that's coming up too. It's like extremely meaningful and important to me#the vision of going helped me through some tougher times#but you know what I'm also scared of?#of one of my favorite artist's getting seriously hurt.#of him beating himself up for disappointing people when there's nothing he can do about it.#can't believe people lack the basic empathy.#i get being disappointed. Sad. Furious even.#be furious with a god if you've got one or the universe or bacteria or the very idea of voice boxes being suspectable to strain#not with the man who's just as frustrated with the situation as you are#AHHHH#(i unfolded the knife safely in the tags. folding it back up)#(I see the typos & I hate em & I'm mad but I won't be doing anything about it. I'm sorry)#//#my posts

swiftie mutuals please know that i still love you i just cant help but be a hater
#my opinions on ts are complex#like i think she's an insanely good and hardworking performer#you cant ignore the amount of work it takes to perform something like her eras shows#AND i think that when she puts her mind to it she can really knock it out of the park with a great song#every album has at least one A+ song#like genuinely i think anti-hero was her best ever lyrically#and she's at her best when she leans into the sappy over the top vibe like w love story or ybwm#my main problem with her is ofc her excessive private jet use#i understand that shes too famous to fly commercial bc she'd get mobbed#but when travelling within a single country she could at least be using road travel#anyway#wrt her music my main issue is that a good 80% of it is very... bland#she doesn't really do anything new or push any boundaries artistically#just plays it safe#and her lyrics can be genuinely awful when she takes herself too seriously (1830s but without all the racists)#and that sucks bc when she DOES decide to explore a new concept or play a character#she generally makes something interesting and fun!#blank space was fun bc it was a play into the media's constructed narrative about her#reputation was. a choice. but i'll defend it for being something different and actually taking a risk#this is a long ass tags ramble but i guess my point is#shes a pop singer. shes a pop singer who makes catchy pop music and thats okay#but she has a habit of taking herself too seriously and trying to be a deep meaningful 'poet' type songwriter like phoebe bridgers etc#which is just. not at all what she's good at#her music needs an ounce of self awareness to be good but her new album completely lacks that#sigh#dont ever get a diploma in music theory worst mistake of my life

some context: i'm marching with my new coworkers & managers, but we work at the lgbt center and it's pride so idk how "work appropriate" it has to be
#phoenix talks#im really torn between the first three#the paddy's pub is more of a joke but also im not completely opposed to it#like the rainbow tank top is colorful. its clearly festive. its safe. but its also offbrand#the hawaiian shirt is more of a subtle queer move. but its quite every day and not special occassion. but its cute and safe#now the fat daddy shirt is more of a risk here. i am sort of representing the center? i am trying to make a good impression with-#-my cowrokers and managers. but its also got some personality. its prideful. its not sanitized. its authentic. its also cute#HELP

Hi Clari! I saw the best headcanon for Vox and I wanted to drop in and share the brainrot. <3
Saw the idea that Vox has claw caps he can put on made of soft silicone that protect the sharp edges of his claws so he won’t hurt you while he’s touching you. He’d put them on so he could finger you and play with you without running the risk of hurting you in any way he doesn’t want. It’s just such a nice idea,,, and it would probably feel really good too. 🖤🖤🖤
- anon Spook! 👻
hi spook bb!!! <3 AH YES SO maisie (@sovya) actually brought this idea up a little while ago and while i do agree with you and think it’s a super sweet sentiment on his part (if he decides to wear them;; for some reason i feel like there’s a chance convincing him to wear them would be like pulling teeth, but i guess it rly depends on how important he deems u are to him; if he rly cares for you and your well-being and you’re significant and valuable to him he’s probably more inclined to do it for you, in private like u alluded to, because ‘what kind of man wears claw caps out, baby?’), i can’t help but giggle at the thought because they’re just like the caps you can get for your cats HEHEHE. also,, i personally really really really love his claws, so <33 i’d want em out and dangerous at all times (*/ω\) i just think the danger and high level of risk that comes with them is very alluring and exciting, idk!!! i wonder if he sharpens them (⸝⸝ᵕᴗᵕ⸝⸝) that would be so sexy eeeee
#I'M SORRY I MAKE HIM A BIT OF AN ASSHOLE BUT LIKE#HE IS LMAO#HE ISSSSSSSS#anyway apologies i am a little Fucked Up#i completely see where you’re coming from though!!!!#it would be nice for him to be able to put those motherfuckers away so he can touch you properly without risk#especially in sensitive and intimate areas HAHAHA#but yeah it just makes me think of vox as a kitty#i'm just like 'oh you could end my life with one swipe of those across my neck??? sexy!!!' LMAO#i hope you're having a great wednesday spook!!#pls stay safe and stay hydrated!! <3 sending much love ur way!!!#inky.vox#inky.hazbin#spook.anon#clari gets mail

dial of destiny was good and i would have been happy to see it do really well, especially because i would like to see a helena spinoff tv series or something, but i'm also very okay with it kind of flopping. hopefully it shows that audiences are tired of the endless cycle of reboots and remakes and decades-late sequels, along with superhero fatigue (the diminishing returns of the mcu disney+ shows are showing that). just give us something new PLEASE.
#emma shut up#i don't expect these to go away altogether (nor would i necessarily want to)#i'm just hoping the 'safe' options failing encourages these massive studios to take more risks#just look at barbie- it had really good viral marketing sure but ultimately i don't think anyone would have predicted it making a BILLION#because it was risky and different and something completely unlike what we've been getting#and i say that as someone who feels like barbie's politics are actually a little dated
