[centi-pedve]

yes that's the bookie

the reason why we find it funny is because utopian socialism/collectivism is associated with a real world historical movement where groups of people managed to establish ACTUAL communities and do ACTUAL shit and while they failed in the end it was a fairly proactive movement unlike basically most other ideologies in reali which have a rich history of dicking around

which makes it funny that the character who shares a name and concept with the ideology is the chill af no problems one. he seems to be crafted from the philosophical concept of inherent human goodness and success in an abstract way more than how it literally came about. but it would be interesting to look at utopian keeping this history in mind

we rlly love utopian cuz his character makes no sense in the context of his ideology and its history. It's really funny to us. Unless there's some alternate more modern form of utopian socialism but that'd be lame

“Stop excusing Jason killing just because he died!!1!111!!1”

We don’t excuse his killings, you ignorant fool. We actively encourage it.

Ok no so my thing. My thing about the "no zombie babies" skins rule.

Like I get that it's about the child death implications. But. Two things

The amount of PG-13 novels that include child death?? Are none of the staff Warrior Cats fans... I get that visual stuff can be a different beast compared to written works, but this feels like at least a little bit of a disservice to the younger teens on site in the same way a lot of sanitization in media lately has been.

Didn't we used to literally have eggs dying as a mechanic. I know we don't anymore, but like. Wild turnaround, yknow what I mean

Call me crazy here, but I get the feeling that they maybe already knew that.

I canNOT stop giggling over Ward trying to kill himself with a piece of paper. How the fuck does that even work.

[anyoldfandom]

I am so. So fucking tired. And so fucking sorry.

I am so sorry to everyone else who feels as if they have to do something good for the world. Everyone who can't afford nihilism even when they're depressed, everyone who knows they must make sacrifices for the greater good. I'm so sorry to all the activists who never wanted to be activists. Everyone who wanted to do something else yet knows now they can't. To everyone in the position where they can make a sacrifice, who knows they must, even with how much it hurts, because those who could so easily change the world for the better refuse to do so. That we have to suffer and fight and scream because of their tradition, their profits, their bigotry, that they refuse to let go.

I'm so sorry to everyone who believes in hope because giving up is too horrifying. I'm so sorry for all the comments of those telling you you're brave, and strong, and noble for doing this - yet are unwilling to do anything to help. Those that comment on your work, how important it is, those that think it is passion that drives you forwards when it is fear. Because we are told, implicitly, that our fear and pain are not desirable. That they are not how to reach people, how to make true change.

Those of us who had other dreams we gave up on. Things we love that have been relegated to hobbies because the change we need to make is more important. Those of us who have curled up and cried with our hopelessness yet still have to get up each day and try. Because there is nothing left to do but try.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry the world is like this. I'm sorry that we have to fight so that one day, others might not. I'm sorry that we may never see the fruits of our labors, that there may not be a future to look forwards to, despite all our efforts.

I'm sorry that we have no choice but to try.

old people really were raised on the idea that their descendants were just future caretakers for them and never fucking learned to think otherwise

awesome so today we (my colleague besties and me) were potentially exposed to covid by two different people we spent the morning with because nobody gives a fuck anymore and we’re all going to get sick and die. awesome! i love being alive in fall 2023 when nobody gives a single shit about covid anymore and this nightmare country has apparently decided to move on even though the danger has not subsided and arguably has increased and we no longer have access to resources or information to keep ourselves and each other safe. fuck the world

normally chatfics never survive my extremely potent filter cocktail, even if they're not tagged as chatfics bc they're normally also tagged with one of the other 200 things i have automatically filtered, but last night one managed to escape unscathed, and it's like how like the 0.1% of germs that survive hand sanitizer are the most dangerous bc it's like literally the most cursed thing ever, and it has so little metadata it's almost impossible to filter out without getting rid of shit i want to keep
