25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now? (For Faber :D)

Honestly my first impression of him was just that he was Gary's hypercompetent assistant who was overworked and was meant to be an antagonistic foil to Efnisien because he was initially so jealous of him.

That changed so quickly. Well maybe not that quickly, but god, Faber said 'I'm about to develop 100 miles of depth that you didn't see coming' and he took over my brain so

❝ i don’t want to be without you. ❞ for marcus and this is what happens when you're difficult @eposerta // memes // always accepting

BREATH  COMES  IN  RAGGED  BURSTS   —dragging  painfully  up  his  throat  as  though  it  has  to  claw  its  way  out,   like  it  takes  every  ounce  of  energy  just  to  keep  the  air  flowing  through  his  lungs.  something  about  her  words  hurts  worse  than  the  burning  pain  that  radiates  through  him  and  marcus  wants  to  fold  ren  into  his  arms  and  remind  her  over  and  over  again  that  they’re  going  to  be  okay,  that  they’re  going  to  make  it.   

well,  at  least  one  of  them  will,   and  she’s  the  only  one  that  matters  now.

          ❝  i  don’t  want  to  be  without  you,  either.  ❞    it’s  barely  a  whisper,  strained  with  effort  and  saturated  in  pain.   he  can  only  hope  his  eyes  might  convey  all  the  words  of  adoration  he  never  had  time  to  speak.  but  then,  even  if  they’d  had  a  hundred  years  together,  it  wouldn’t  have  been  enough.  

a  trembling  hand  reaches  for  her,  fingers  spasming  as  he  tries  to  press  them  to  her  skin.  it’s  agony   —   this  effort  —   and  yet  a  soft  smile  finds  its  way  to  his  lips  as  he  barely  grazes  her  cheek.   ❝  you  can  do  this,  ren   —   you’re  so  much  stronger  than  you  know.  ❞    voice  quavering  with  emotion,  he  presses  on,  determined.  because  she  is  strong,  kinder  than  he  ever  deserved,  too  good  for  the  people  of  this  place,   of  this  world.   the  short  laugh  he  lets  out  is  wet  with  emotion  and  something  else  telling  the  end  of  his  waking  moments,  but  somehow  he  finds  her  hand  and  squeezes  it  tightly.    

          ❝  you  know   —  ❞    shallow  breaths  carry  marcus  through,   because  he  cannot  leave  her  until  she  knows  how  much  she’s  changed  his  life  —  changed  him   —   for  the  better.   ❝  —  i  don’t  think  i  even  realized  i  was  living  in  the  dark,  ❞    another  quick  squeeze  and  a  cough  takes  over. (  he  does  his  best  to  ignore  the  way  it  leaves  his  other  hand  stained  red  ) ❝  and  then  you  smiled  at  me,  and  it  was  like  the  sun  shined  for  the  first  time.  ❞    and  that’s  what  he  focuses  on   —   not  the  sorrow  in  her  eyes  or  the  plea  in  her  voice,   not  the  way  the  pain  turns  numb,  or  the  air  around  him  turns  cold   —   just  the  brightest  light  in  his  life,  and  the  warmth  that  comforts  him  as  his  eyes  lose  focus  and  his  hand  falls  away  from  hers.

been seeing a lot of Discourse™ about the way women characters are treated in the marauders fandom and just thought I'd offer my unsolicited opinions on the topic.

I hear a lot of people get annoyed about the sidelining of female characters, in both straight and wlw ships (especially wlw) in favour of male characters/mlm ships. Which, i understand the frustration, i really do -- but u guys realise this isn't a problem just in the marauders fandom right? Hell, this isn't even a fandom issue -- this shit is everywhere. This may be a little unrelated, but there's a reason why comphet (compulsory heterosexuality) specifically applies to lesbians not gay men,, an existence where men are insignificant can be unfathomable in our current society, no matter how far we've progressed.

When i get into a fandom where there is mostly male characters, or even if there is an even amount of male/female characters, mlm or str8 ships will get prioritised. Fandoms that mostly appeal to str8 ppl will attract lots of str8 ships in fandom spaces, and shows aimed at queer audiences will attract a lot of mlm ships. Like, that's just how it is.

The only types of shows, books, etc where there are predominately f/f ships in fandom are those magical girl-esque children's shows/animes with a very large female cast, or lesbian/sapphic shows specifically aimed at lesbians/sapphics.

other than that, I don't even bother getting mad at the lack of wlw ships in fandoms like the marauders fandom. In fact, I'd say the marauders fandom does a pretty decent job at voicing these concerns compared to some other fandoms but idk.

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.

there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.

you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.

but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

the idea of jason hitting his head on doorways and tripping on his own feet because he got so big so fast is devastating btw

he doesnt fit in old hide aways, his hands can cover whole book pages.

he never got to experience puberty in a way that made his body feel like his

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

The true face of Zionism: a group of Zionists gang up on Furusawa Yusuke-san, a protestor who has been speaking up for Gaza and standing in the Tokyo streets on his own for weeks, months even.

They harass a man who clearly doesn't speak English well enough to defend himself, bombard him with questions, ridicule him and accuse this single man of being paid by Palestine to protest.

In his own fucking country.

But Furusawa-san is strong, brave and kind, something these Zionists can never be

It's still surprising to see people say that when they see the upcoming strike post I made that this is the first time they're hearing about it, especially because I've seen several posts now talking about the same strike.

That being said: regardless of what kind of blog you are, please spread the news about the genocide, the strikes, boycotts, etc.

Even if you are a small blog, spreading word allows for more people to know what's going on and also do their part in protests and strikes, and maybe even the right people will be able to do more than what you're able to do.

And reminder: there is an upcoming strike on February 18th-25th. Prepare accordingly, protest, boycott, call your reps, and spread the word so more people are aware.

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire
