#and yes that is a trait of everyone

[polsocmartikhoras]

I have to admit anyone who engages in moral castigation for the praise or influence of the audience to me is suspicous

but I didn't know he abused people. Just not shocked to hear he did because displayed an enjoyment of hurting others with personal wit and power.

I never took him as a morally acting person.

Just jeerer and a commentator who was especially mouthy where and when he was unlikely to be held to words proffered and held that as a virtue, especially for people who shared his traits.

I get the same way with the creator or Rick and Morty or ANY creative who commentates.

BUT

I am more dismissive of otherwise okay people who have proven nothing wrong about them.

Take from this what you will.

I’m not naming names because I’m not trying to start anything but I’m seeing several mutuals claiming they always knew Gaiman was a bad egg and it was so obvious, as though they didn’t make me stand in line with them to get his signature and kept their signed copies of his books on a special shelf akin to a shrine.

And like, listen, you don’t need to pretend.

This isn’t the devil’s sacrament. You’re not tainted by association. You’re not morally bad for not immediately knowing when someone is being charming and persuasive to hide something they don’t want you to know.

Abusers don’t just groom their victims. They groom their witnesses too. You were never supposed to know something was wrong because it was intentionally hidden. It’s okay you didn’t know. You don’t need to act like you never liked him or his work. You don’t need to pretend. But you do need to stop being shitty to other people who also didn’t know because it reeks of victim blaming.

“Well I knew, so how come others didn’t?”

His victims were fans. Are you blaming them for not knowing?

Christ alive, I hope not.

Can we please talk about them?

some messy morning headcanon babbling about the main cast's future kids or other related four gen stuff while it's on my mind

I am not gonna list every possibility for every possible ending or love interest for Sol here but prolific parent Sol is said to parent "dozens of children" - with a plural s! - while in peace timelines the council asks them to keep it in the low twenties, and the only number that really fits both criteria is twenty four. Twenty Four. Twenty Four fucking children holy shit oh my God Sol what the FUCK-

If Cal doesn't end up with Sol and Tammy is either dead or with Sol herself, he eventually settles down with Helio hydroponics farmer Bluebell "Belle"; They have an insane ten children together, including two sets of twins, as they both are eager to help the colony grow as much as possible.

If Sol and Cal stay together and Tammy is still alive, she eventually settles down with a pair of Helio soldiers, Pyrite "Py" and Obsidian "Obi", having been a surrogate for one of their three kids together, and then going on to have the trio's collective fifth child (the one made "the old fashioned way").

If Cal and Tammy either start dating in game or start dating in the epilogue, including Echinacea the two of them go on to have an even more insane twelve children together, including a set of triplets and a set of twins.

If Vace and Anemone aren't broken up, then they canonly have three kids together in the epilogue. (While text in the game files covers if they stayed together after Vace got therapy, I'm fairly certain that the game itself requires them to be broken up for Vace's final love event to happen.)

If Vace gets the therapy he needs, then he later goes on to have four children with fellow Helio soldier Hyacinth "Cici"; they attempted to go for an even mix of boys and girls, but they grew up to be all girls.

The one pregnancy Marz will surrogate is for Helio soldier Protogenos "Gen", another one of Rex's lovers; Although the kid does call Rex dad, there's never any assumption she's their mom.

The children Tang might create with her genetics are the only ones not fully accounted for in my headcanon list atm, and this is just because it would include needing to make a paradox not-sibling for each child for timelines where Tang does not give her dna to any children; The only two that I've settled on right now are a pair of twins born to and raised by Helio (ex-)soldiers Intelligentsia "Jenna" and Bastion "Bas", with both parents having their own twins

Rex, forever the maddest of lads and a prime example for why you need to spay and neuter your cats and dogs, could have anywhere from eight to seventeen children calling him dad from four to eight co-parents (with many of them not being in relationships with one another), and that's before any possible children he might have with Sol are added into the mix; Irregardless of how he's not the biological father of many/most of those children, I think that Tangent wants to strangle this man a little anyways

Bonus round! Auntie Seedant (or Nannie Seedant now) could have anywhere from nine to eighteen grandchildren; Stratus will eventually go on to have to children with his future partner doctor Enlightenment "Ten", Cumulus is guarenteed to have seven children with his future partner xeno whisperer Effervescence "Ves", while Cirrus might be a co-parent six children with farmer Nectarine "Nena", and we already covered Anemone's maybe kids above; Nimbus never has any direct children of his own, but he has a lot of kids in his own way, growing up to be (one of) the colony's future teacher(s)

woe/rejoice. agori (and by extension glatorian) hcs be upon you

Agori exhibit subtle sexual dimorphism differently depending on which tribe they belong to (i.e. lebori males have brighter plumage, fezeri females are larger), while their bone structures are essentially identical. Gaquri are the only tribe able to naturally alter their bodies' production of their estrogen and testosterone equivalents. Actively transitioning and/or intersex individuals of any tribe can present dimorphic traits of one sex, traits of both sexes, muddled traits, or none at all

Their breasts are placed in the pelvic area, like horses, and the nips are the only visible part. To prevent chafing, lower garments have soft reinforcements at hip-height

They have short, nubby tails which have survived across their evolution despite having lost their original size and purpose. their movement is very limited and usually unconscious; since they remain the same length during all stages of life, they appear to "shrink" the more a person grows. children use them to better balance themselves when learning to walk

With the exception of Basari's and Fezeri's, Agori ears are very flexible despite their small size and can lean in almost all directions. Their shape varies across tribes

Their senses aside from touch are generally keener than humans'

Agori clothing tends to prefer function to form and does not have significant differences between masculine and feminine styles, although it wasn't always the case before the Shattering

Together with hugs, kisses and handshakes, each tribe has a unique display of affection or greeting pertaining to the head and/or face: Lebori preen each other, Gaquri rub cheeks together, Koniri gently nip ears, Fezeri butt the top of their heads, Basari scratch each other's nape, Potori shove temples against one another and Tapyri press the other's hand to their forehead. The gesture's intensity is usually toned down when done to someone of a different tribe to avoid discomfort or pain

If an object is in an enclosed space like a house, a vehicle or a box, Agori will point to it with their chins instead of their fingers

Vorox and Zesk still communicate in an extremely simplified version of a strict Basari dialect, although the phonetics had to be heavily changed to adapt to the shape of their mutated mouths. Malum has learned it and is currently the only fully sapient being somewhat fluent in Bara Magna Basari

Other tribes tend not to know Tapyri have hair

Koniri fur keeps warm, but becomes stiff in great quantities; Lebori down feathers are very soft, but struggle to retain heat on their own; Potori wool offers great insulation in most climates, but risks growing mold easily when humidity increases

After they (almost) went extinct, the sturdy carapaces of dead Bara Magna Fezeri were pillaged to make very durable high quality armor. because of this there are no intact pieces or Fezeri remains left, and the few plates that have survived since, no matter how worn or outright broken, are either made into family heirlooms or sold at exhorbitant prices. Sahmad has a large number of them (almost all buried) as he made a habit of targetting and capturing anybody who wore them specifically

Tapyri are unique when it comes to cleaning since their protective mucus naturally catches dirt and other particles for easy removal, meaning they only need to scrub or peel it off. Gaquri, Koniri and Potori take water baths while Basari, Fezeri and Lebori take dust or sand baths

Agori children are addressed with the pronouns ti/tir until they choose their own. its highly unusual for someone to use ti/tir for tir whole life, and the set is often used as a playful jab when a person exhibits childish behavior

Pregnancy is a very taxing endeavour: the process takes around a year and a half, but the parent's body will additionally need two or three years to recover from the strain of the experience as a whole, during which it will be physically unable to produce the necessary material to make another child. sudden spikes in stress or a constant stream of it during pregnancy is almost sure to produce a stillborn, and its very easy for older individuals to simply not have the energy to make it through childbirth once the time comes. this used to not be a problem, since Agori are very long lived and the whole planet was full of them, but the Core War drastically reduced their numbers and the hazardous conditions produced by the Shattering all over the planet made for a very dangerous environment to attempt having a child in, so births became extremely rare in the 100 thousand years before Mata Nui's return. the so called "children of Bara Magna" (which include Gresh and Berix) are few and far between, commonly having significant age gaps from one to the other

A wide number of male MU beings is perceived as feminine or adjacent by Agori, partly due to sexual dimorphism not being A Thing for most species, partly due to voice and countenance: Tahu, for example, is considered to be very lady-like. in his specific case this perception might however be also affected by the fact that he was modeled after Ackar, who used to be much more overtly femme in his youth* (check tags)

this is what ive got so far. peace and love on spherus magna.

I think an underappreciated motive for Bruce / Batman to not murder the Joker after he killed Jason is that it would, in a sense, mean Joker won. Like, yeah the Joker would be dead but he would also be laughing himself silly that he was the one who made the Bat break his code.

Bruce sparing the Joker was not because he didn't love Jason enough to kill him, but because he refused to let the Joker take anything else from him; he took his son, but he would not take his honor, his morality, his code. He would not give Joker the satisfaction.

Yeah! I think, ultimately, DC said it best, -- one death, two deaths, three deaths, -- whatever you pick, everybody loses. It was a no win situation from the start and specifically designed to have no satisfactory ending

[sciderman]

no no,, being born in debt as an american would’ve given you more power.

you wouldve been on step closer to becoming peter parker.

i don't think peter parker has much power at all unless a radioactive spider is part of the equation

Moment of appreciation for Dreamzzz showing having anxiety and a short temper as traits that aren’t mutually exclusive.

Signed, someone with anxiety and a short temper

i can feel myself blorbifying cameron cook more and more... i stand with my somewhat problematic wife. i keep thinking about that one thing nafessa said in an interview, how "it was difficult for cameron to be alone, to be away from her family, her friends, to not have anyone except for tony". imagine you're all alone in this world of sharks (sexist. hyper masculine. extremely white world. in the 80s) and you have no one except for your desperately insecure boss (at least this is what your desperately insecure boss wants you to think). he says, "doesn't it feel SO good when you win awards knowing i put you there". he's also deeply in love with you and wants to leave his wife to marry you. cameron cook you are so much stronger than me bc oh my god

[monards]

can a girl ramble aboutthe way you can interpret so many parts of the propaganda and characterization of rhine by other the people/general populace of teyvat as people largely antagonizing neurodivergent traits without being chased with pitchforks and torches.

[butchlifeguard]
