oooooooooh i hate this!!! i love student organizations!! i love being the only person talking at a meeting!!! i love bringing up to a room of students that there’s proposed legislation to help “gender refugees” to be recognized as a class in canada following US and UK legislation, and getting zero response!! i love bringing up that the US no-fly list was leaked and has literal TODDLERS on it but that also Canada has its OWN no-fly list which is also still hidden and has prevented literal SIX YEAR OLDS from flying because of blatant islamophobia, and getting zero response!!! i love pointing out that in 2020 the union made a statement on and donation in support of black lives matter and decrying police brutality especially against Black and Indigenous people, and pointing out that footage of another Black man being murdered by cops was just released in America, and that in Canada a Black man was KILLED IN DETENTION DUE TO POLICE ACTIONS DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED A DAY PRIOR, and getting ZERO response from anyone!!!! what the fuck is this!!! why are you here!!! YES the meeting has been an hour and a half NO i don’t care, this is about student politics and government and if you want to sit on a council then maybe ACTUALLY SHOW UP instead of just physically BEING there. i love that after prying any response from anyone at all it was STILL only vague and unspecific about “yeah i think that’s a good idea” more out of a concession to me demanding any kind of response from anyone present!!! i do not care if i’m being a bitch and dragging out this meeting!!! if your goal in hosting a council meeting is to be In And Out In Under One Hours then you shouldn’t be on council!!!! that’s not how decision gets made that’s not how action happens!!!! international students are being robbed and exploited and i am asking you for THOUGHTS on ANYTHING about the matter and you have only silence???? im not asking you to ted kaczynski the fucking place!!! i’m asking you to say two words or more!!! just say “that’s disgusting” just say “I agree” just say “We should do something” and that’s step 1, i’d love it if people would commit to action but even that’s impossible right now when people won’t even speak!!!!!

#vent #none of this is even my purview!!!#literally the only part of it that is is the tuition increases!!!!#i do the money i do the spreadsheets!!!#all of this should fall under communications and student life and external stuff!!!!#but i am the only person bringing it up!!!!#and i love our external rep to death bc she's the only person who regularly says anything in support of these #and she CONSISTENTLY does too #and ACTUALLY TAKES ACTION to boot!!!#but im literally just looking for input from ANYONE else who isn't on the exec bc #if you're not going to provide input then why are we having council in the first place #anyways yes i'm so so so tired and so so so pissed off #the apathy towards systemic racism islamophobia and transphobia has me literally shaking

i like how most of arturia's "crines" mentioned in that lore thing the official twitter account posted involve stuff like

- inspiring a guy to declare himself emperor and campaign for rights for the infected

- getting a group of victorian soldiers to desert and become farmers instead of raiding a taran theatre

- whimsically lifting an elderly care home into the air with balloons and arts, to give the residents a bit of fun exitement :)

it gives a fun credence to the idea of her being laterano's criminal number one being less about her being the evilest person ever, and more bc she doesn't play by their (discriminatory and oppressive) rules

#arknights #shes the most ominous bastard ever but when you look at what she does #the reason shes seen as a villain by laterano is bc she consistently opposes the oppressive status quo lol #then again if she does something reaall evil in the leithania event i dont know of it i cant read chinese and do not look at fan tls much #you know. so dont get too mad at me if she personally makes a group of defenseless orphans brutally kill themselves or something #well #text

Idk who needs to hear this, but in the event Jinx and Viktor do partner up, Jinx is the more normal one of the two. Imo people in Zaun LIKE Jinx better than Viktor. Viktor's association with Jinx alone is damage control for his reputation.

If you think about it for even 10 seconds, you'd see how Viktor is just an offputting dude. Yeah Jinx has volatile outbursts of destruction, but that's concentrated at specific people and at Piltover. Jinx isn't out here performing strange feats of blood magic that turns innocent bystanders (Sky) to dust. Jinx dealing with hextech recognizes it's dangerous (it connects to the realm of Heebie Jeebies) and is hesitant with it. Viktor knows he doesn't know what he's doing and just keeps going. That's worse, that's so much more dangerous.

You could say that Viktor's well-meaning and eventually develops a cult following from it. But one, Jinx has a cult too, and it's more successful (they steal real estate). Two, Viktor's time in Piltover has really skewed what needs to be done. At best, as a part of the hextech duo, Viktor might have improved workplace safety with his inventions, maybe, but not really. He wants to help Zaun, but he's lost the plot in the frenzy of Piltover's trade expansion.

Ironically, Jinx almost certainly has a better handle on understanding Zaun's politics and issues than Viktor ever did. Jinx spent her formative years at the top of Zaun's hierarchy while being raised by the defacto kingpen/political leader and actively enforced Silco's regime as well. So Jinx knows who and what's up in Zaun because she kind of made it happen, lol.

Tldr: Between Viktor and Jinx, Jinx is the more charismatic and likable figure to Zaunites. Take a step back and notice how Viktor is an extra level of weird compared to Jinx.

#arcane #arcane meta #jinx arcane #viktor arcane #i feel like there's a bias where people make jinx some kind of illogical creature of pure impulse and chaos #and it's like she has consistent thoughts and opinions like a regular person you're too caught up in conflating every reaction she has #as defined by her mental illness rather than relate them to the dynamics of her environment and the social standing she occupies #meanwhile viktor is just as dangerous if not more so it's just that he speaks in a calm tone and just does the same dangerous thing #without hesistation like jinx #sit with that see how much worse it is that he proceeds with less caution than JINX

I don’t even fully know why but “what do I do when I miss you so much?” / “Just wait, and pray desperately” was a knife to my heart in the best way.

#crash landing on you #my grandma once said most of life was waiting and praying #and when he said it it just resonated so deeply #I think because. it’s not like a revelation or anything #but I think it’s just because she was suffering so much and had suffered so much #and so in that moment #he just takes care of her so completely and gives her hope. and not a false hope #a true one #and on deeper reflection the ending does work within the context of this (in my opinion) most powerful scene #/ apex of the show #it’s just the tone that’s a little wrong. that’s too aesthetic-y.#because the kind of steady way he keeps taking care of her from afar. and the slow build of her recovering but continuing to hope #couldn’t lead them anywhere except a happy ending. even if the final pieces of it couldn’t be unraveled (or put together)#by the show’s writing. so it just kind of has to fade to black so to speak #because the characters have been so steady and consistent a) in their personalities motivations and desires #and b) in their love for each other! that never falters or betrays a false note #and it’s the truest thing you’re left with. which is why—again—I actually think the problem might have been the tone #I would have gone for something more muted. I would have had them be talking and/or arguing a little more in their old way #to keep and sustain the idea that there is more work ahead for them that we’re just not going to see #but that is ultimately a kind of nitpick. and the take me to the lakes vibe of that final #scene is also not untrue.#also circling back for a second can I just SAY. that I love the balance of their vulnerabilities #there are such clear and distinct times where one of them is stronger and the other more vulnerable #and it’s sooooo perfect to watch and gives you many instant layers #anyway I’m crying in this Chili’s tonight (*my bed at 7:00 am)

WHAT TAROT CARD ARE YOU ?

JUSTICE — what would you do to ensure justice? you know full well i don’t speak of lofty ideals and courts and magistrates, dearest. what would you do to those that hurt you? if I dropped them in your lap, what would you do? what kind of pain could you possibly inflict upon them? you are right to do so. you are right to want to do so. ignore the screaming, dearest, you are the hand of justice now, and they hurt you. do not look too closely at their faces, dearest. you are within your rights. you spell out your own rights, now. are you happy about it? are you certain that this is the right person you hold by the hair? does your anger hurt less now?

#DASH GAMES //#her concept of justice and her concept of what makes things even is entirely ? it has its basis in what she considers fair and the black #and white nature of her own morality like it’s #her conceptualization of justice is set wholly in courts and the legality of the situation and the importance of one’s sworn word in the #society she was brought up in #like IT IS based in ideals - it IS based in court #and like there has just 😭 been so much. there’s so much - she can’t punish everyone who’s attempted to diminish her or hurt her in any #sort of way because it’s all blurred into one consistent stream of things that she has ? she needs to let go of - she can’t respond to #every little thing when the allegations flung at her most post the birth of her children are that of high treason #like there’s so much simmering anger that she just buried deeper and deeper until she can pretend it doesn’t exist #she doesn’t hurt alicent she doesn’t hurt helaena she’s even reluctant to attack KL after Luke’s death due to her fear of kinslaying like #she has her limits and that still is ? The people she would perceive as innocent and people like Alicent who ? in the book viserys loved an #in the show who she herself cared for like it’s #‘ does your anger hurt less now ? ‘ no! it does not #because the price she’s paid to successfully reclaim what they stole from her is ! too! high !#the price she never wanted to have to pay which she said at the start of it was too high of a cost was paid anyway and she’s fundamentally #fucking miserable because of it #like visenya is dead luke is dead jace is dead and viserys is missing and likely dead and all she has left is joff and aegon #and like the notion of the opposition to her succession was something she expected at that point. But what hurts the MOST is the way they #went about it. What hurts the most is what happened as a result of the shock she experienced from it #like she miscarried from it and she lost visenya - and the subsequent confrontations afterward led to the losses of her other children and #it’s like ??? they could’ve called a great council - they should’ve called a great council but no one did #what hurts is the fact the excuse is the vows sworn to her were ‘ stale’ and thus the people who turned their backs on them didn’t need to #uphold them so they could go about oathbreaking with their honor in tact when it’s like ? ( to her ) it feels as if she wasn’t even worth #the grace of them being honest with themselves on what they were doing #like it’s ?
