So my friend commented how they can't relate to Tanjiro and Nezuko's relationship. They explained that they don't act that way towards their younger sister. It made me think that yeah, I can't relate either, but it got me rambling about Nezuko and Tanjiros dynamic cuz of this
I don't relate much to the "eldest child syndrome" because my family didn't quite have that, which is great for my older siblings. Sometimes it feels like the roles for me and my older sister are reversed. Our situation is just weird. Anyways, everyone's family dynamics are different. And I totally get that the eldest child syndrome is a real thing for many people, and I can see why other people could see themselves in Tanjiro too. Even if I don't relate, I still understand, or at least am trying to.
I think the reason why Nezuko and Tanjiro's relationship feels unnatural to some, is because they are suppose to be close in age, but I got the impression that Tanjiro treats Nezuko more like his daughter, but like if you look at Tanjiro's circumstances, it really makes sense. Tanjiro had to take care of his younger siblings very early on, since his dad is frail and some of his siblings like Rokuta were very young. He probably had to learn to fill in the parental role for them. The same goes for Nezuko, who was an eldest daughter. We can also see with the few snippets of human Nezuko that she was on a more equal footing with Tanjiro, since both of them have the shared responsibility of looking after their siblings.
But the circumstances of Nezuko turning into a demon, turned her into a mostly childlike state, and that makes her so vulnerable in many ways. Naturally, Tanjiro's instinct is to be a caring and parental towards her, bc Nezuko now fills in the role that used to be for their much younger siblings. Maybe it isn't the most natural dynamic for them, but their situation isn't natural to begin with.
We've also seen in the modern era, how the descendant siblings interact. They're sibling dynamic feels like something that me and my friend are more accustomed to, and I think it just goes to show that the times are different, and Nezuko and Tanjiro's dynamic was mostly that way because of their difficult circumstances.
So yeah, I guess this really just goes to show that everyone has different family dynamics due to different circumstances.

Fernando Alonso & His Relationship With Cards
I'm sure we're all familar with the cards on the back of Fernando's Vegas GP helmet by now, but did you know his relationship with cards goes a lot deeper?
I. Magic Tricks
You've probably seen or heard someone at least mention Fernando's propensity for card tricks. As far as I can tell he was doing them(publically) as far back as 2003 all the way to as recently as 2018. Even once performing a card trick, with a condom and a teddy bear(!??!?!??!!), in front of Valentino Rossi who said "How was that possible?"(x)
But how did this start? According to James Allen, "Fernando admits to having been heavily influenced by his grandfather, a mercurial figure, who taught him magic and card tricks, still one of his passions away from the race track."(x) And I'm not sure the validity of this one, because I couldn't find an actual source, but apparently he once said: "My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit."
In several interviews he described it as his hobby off track, and that he loved learning new tricks and surprising others in the garage with them! So clearly cards are pretty important to him both as a hobby but also to who he is as a person since they've been with him just as long as racing has.

II. Card Symbolism in His Helmets
This is the reason I originally made this post, but I thought I should also explain the origins of his card fascination first. As I said, we probably all remember the cards on the back of his helmet in Vegas, but did you know that wasn't the first time he had cards on the back of his helmet?
From 2008-2013, he used to have a pair of cards on the back of his helmets. The symbolisms of the cards themselves as well as the evolution of their design is really fascinating to me! Even more so with the recent development of the card choice in 2023.
Fernando said he wanted to reference his two titles in some way on the back of his helmet and after his friend sent him several ideas, he decided on having two cards(an ace of clubs and an ace of hearts, sometimes pictured with 05 and 06 on them as well), saying: "I picked the cloverleaf [the ace of clubs - Ed] to give me luck, but the only pity is that it doesn't have four leaves!"(X)
2008.
Here's the very first appearance of the cards! They're displayed flat, with the 05 and 06 clearly visible
2009.

Very similar to 2008, but with a slightly different design, and they're maybe a bit more straight with less shadow?
2010.

This is the first major change! I was sad they didn't have the years on them anymore, but then I realized they're sparkly to match with his signature lightning bolts on the top of the helmet!!
2011.

Honestly I'm still somewhat unsure if this is the actual 2011 helmet? It's pretty difficult to find clear photos of the back of helmets from older seasons. It's easiest to find them on replica sites or auction sites so I'm not 100%? But anyways, I like that this has the championship years on the underside of the cards
2012.
This is when I started getting weirdly emotional about the helmets. Do you see how they've progressed from being a centerpoint to being curled up and sad at the bottom of the helmet? Not listing the year anymore??
2013.
Same thoughts as 2012. And after this season, they cease to exist (just like his ferrari chair in the garage, WOAH CALLBACK), until cards make a reeappearance in his Vegas helmet, albeit in a different form
2013 Monaco(Honorable Mention):
For some reason 2013 helmets were easier to find proper pictures of, so I happened to witness this absolute beauty. The creativity of this helmet genuinely blows me away??? Wanting to keep the card motif, but making sure to incorporate it into the rest of the puzzle piece design?? Mwah! There was another special 2013 helmet but they didn't change the cards at all so I really applaud this one
2023 Las Vegas(The Return of The King):
The magnificent return! But look! The cards are different cards! Instead of being two aces, it's now an ace of hearts, a four of hearts(his driver number of course!) and, the, now iconic, representation of himself as a Joker. I literally could not believe my eyes when this helmet was released and I saw the Joker card, what a fucking silly old man....I really wonder if he felt nostalgic having cards on his helmet again or if he didn't think about it all and was just like, "ah cards because Vegas!!!"
III. Why Does This Matter?
*The rest of the post was factual, this is moreso my personal thoughts on the symbolism of the cards/designs
This post spawned from me recently watching the 2010 Bahrain gp and noticing "hey wait a minute...are those CARDS ON THE BACK OF HIS HELMET!?" It's a really tiny detail that's unfortunately covered up by the HANS device pretty much whenever he's wearing the helmet, so it's really difficult to spot! But I became fascinated with the fact that he had cards on his helmet before that recent helmet, and now here we are!
There's something to me about how the design of the cards evolves over the course of six seasons from the cards being front and center to being smaller, more folded up and closer to the bottom of the helmet. As I said, the 2012-2013 ones genuinely made me depressed because it feels, symbolically, like his hopes for getting another Ace are becoming more and more unlikely and falling away until they eventually fall falt and fade away entirely after 2013 and disappear for basically a decade.
But when they return? They're not the same cards! Instead of representing Fernando's championships, they now represent him as a person, displaying his driver number and his persona of being a Joker!! Though I do think it's interesting he happened to keep the Ace of Hearts, even though he talked more about the Ace of Clubs before. I'm not sure it's actually this deep in reality, but I like to think that it's him not letting his championships(and the lack thereof) define him, but rather letting who he is as a person shine and be the centerpoint instead! But on a sadder note, as @suzuki-ecstar said to me, maybe the Aces aren't there anymore because he's lost all hope for a chance at a third Ace entirely :(
#yes its finals week and im up to my eyes in coursework but instead decided to spend like 5 hours researching and writing this post#nah bcs i actually genuinely put more work into this then I think I have all semester dsfjdskjg#that thing about him using a condom and teddy bear in a magic trick genuinely had me crying with laugher. actual tears rolling down my face#<- HOW!?!? WHAT WAS THE TRICK?? its literally inconceivable to me what he did. oh if only there were pics UGH#anyways!! this post was a lot of fun to make!! i really really love the symbolism and design of helmets so this was a rly fun project#and i also went down a lot of rabbitholes while make this and saw many very weird articles from yore#i feel like i make an equal amnt of deranged posts abt seb and nando but i dont know why nando is gifted w all my well researched projects#<- i.e. chair post. that was the same level of research as this one but at least this one i could find actual sources about....#idk theres smth about the extremely long history of nando's history that evokes research posts like this KLAJSLSKDJ#theres just so much that i dont think I ever really see people discussing! so i must create.#haha what was that joke tag i wanted to make abt my researched posts? I think:#normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion#<- one day ill go back and actually tag posts w that. bcs the amtn of research compared to my actual schoolwork is so unwell#fernando alonso#fa14#f1#formula 1#catie.rambling.txt#we do a little bit of f1

I think you like Leah





…A little
#(+ a drawing of her on my tablet)#okay I’ve tried to write this out like 3 times and now that I’m home I’m sure it’ll post now but idk if I’ll make all the points I have#lux!#my art#ok I think what I find so interesting about her is how little we know of her. we only knew her name for so long#we had already gotten other family members like Baul Ray(KoD) Maleanor and even Henrick so I wasn’t expecting her to actually show up#technically even Raverne has shown up if you believe that he’s Crowley mixed with the stuff Lilia says about him#meanwhile Leah has nothing but her name and like one piece of dialogue and little discussion around her so while I mainly think of her in -#relation with Ray she’s still been marinating in the back of my mind#and seeing her onscreen has kinda just opened the floodgates to all of that#I’ve already thought about how she (a princess/queen) fell in love with and married what was basically a servant boy (maybe? from the way-#that Henrick talks about him it’s clear that he doesn’t think highly of him. sure Ray was taken in but he obviously wasn’t treated as -#their own. it seems Ray’s main contribution was as KoD tho since it’s coming from Henrick who knows)#and because of that it reminds me of a line that Prince Phillip says about marrying whoever he wants because ‘it’s the 14th century!’ And-#so I just wonder what she’s like#and now I’m especially wondering what her relationship with her brother is like as well. there’s so much interesting stuff going on that -#we’ll never find out about because not only is it 400 years in the past but they’re also on the opposite side of the war that the MCs were#(wait wait let me cook war event? it’d be torture but still i wanna know-)#besides that there’s also the fun with potential yuri between her and Mel which is always fun#Lilia polycule AU where no one dies and Lilia and Mel just sing that one Falsettos(I think) audio of Kill your mother but it’s Kill your-#-brother. neither she nor Ray find it funny but I sure do#oh! oh! and her relationship with Silver were she given a chance to form one#maybe it’s just me but I think he’d be a bit of a mama’s boy. not to say he doesn’t love his dads! but his mama wins by just a bit#or smth idk#okay I know I said that this might not be everything but I think I talked about stuff I didn’t before lol#anyway think of this obsession as if it’s like the cousin to my Agetes one. characters with so little going for them they’re basically OCs#anyway this ask has just made me more determined to get even more insane about her thank you 🫡#twst leah#twst spoilers#twst book 7 spoilers

every once in a while I will see this take in the bb fandom that like 'nothing has felt like Black Butler since X arc' (usually Noah's Arc Circus) which I find. very interesting. I think the implication is usually that nothing has felt as like serious or gritty or psychological thriller-y or devastating, or that somehow the vibe has gone weird. and like, this is not to diss anyone's interpretation. but also.
this is a story where one moment the main boy character is wearing a dress and being accosted by a pedophile nobleman and the next he's nearly been human trafficked. and then it turns out his aunt is jack the ripper and she dies at the hand of her grim reaper ally who decides to turn on her for being unable to kill her nephew. cue flashback to the extremely tragic life she's had and the complicated feelings she has about said nephew as a result, although ultimately her love for her sister, that she seems in him, means that she cannot slaughter him as she has so many others.
and then next arc, the culmination of an indian prince's coming of age where he's processing his loneliness and neglected upbringing comes during a contest where people are trying to obtain the royal warrant for curry. and the main character wins it by inventing the curry bun, a japanese dish, in Victorian England, after the elderly queen rides in on a horse wearing sunglasses and declares him a winner.
like. idk what to tell you, like yes the Circus Arc was very dark and all but are we really going to pretend that the boy band thing during the blue cult arc was out of left field??? for the person that did pride and prejudice and zombies on the titanic?? like this has always been the type of story this is wdym-
#and still managed to have some emotionally impactful storytelling to go with it??#like granted the lizzy reveal is not blue memory arc but also. blue memory arc??#like this sort of thing is just bb standard it's like a metaphor for sebastian's swings#between his polished butler aesthetic and his savage demonic nature#or something. idk. standard shounen (is bb a shounen?? a different discussion) shit.#anyway#even tho the boyband this was like 10 years later or whatever#and yana explicitly said it was meant to remind ppl this was ultimately a fantasy story#you can like tell that ah yes this is the same person#who had soma sit down in front of a tv in arc 2??#like she really has always been about exploring different parts of the victorian english world but also having fun with it#it's what makes this work for me personally#there is a whole second rant inside this one about the shotakon ciel treatment in the first arcs#and what we learn later about his backstory and like. everything that happened in the circus arc#but that's for a different day#anyway. just ramblings#my posts#kuroshitsuji fandom#we've had close to 0 comedy this arc but yes#ciel phantomhive#o!ciel#soma asman kadar#elizabeth midford#kuroshitsuji queen victoria#madame red#grelle sutcliffe#this ain't targeted and is probably of interest to exactly 0 people but hey. my blog my rules#queué bourgeois

if you are not in the discord you perhaps are blissfully unaware of my gunnar haluki obsession. and. i just wanted to ramble about him and marcus for a while because there isnt enough about them out there
and it isnt even necessarily the romantic aspect of it. like the two of them as characters and the little bits we know about their friendship are fascinating. and i think lisa was especially good at this in terms of the early quill-related characters; you can see it in a lot of people (justine, marcus, gunnar, aaron, eva, gondoleery, liam, will blair, general blair, nadia, etc.) whether they try to escape that pattern or try to claw their way back into it, but i want to talk about these two specifically.
because marcus, as we all know, had such a big hand in the creation of quill. sure, maybe it was mostly justine's ideals, and sure, maybe he was her right hand first and foremost, and maybe he just went along with what she said. but it is far, far more likely that he really did believe in it, too, and that it was also his ideas, not only from justine. he helped draw people in, he hurt people, he killed people. he killed innocent children.
and while we know very little about gunnar's backstory, we know he was similar. that he believed in justine, too, became her second-in-command and next-in-line, and that he and marcus had a similar falling out with her ideals, and that they turned to each other.
and i think that's what fascinates me about them. the mutual guilt and shame over what they both did in quill. the fact that they have nothing left to hide from each other, since they both come from such similar places, and yet they still *do* because it's a horrific thing to admit to, even though they can't really ignore it. how long and how deeply theyve known each other especially when compared to other characters. gunnar is still hiding his true identity from quill and from artime; he is at home in neither place. marcus says he has no secrets but still keeps the museum of large closed, even to claire most of the time. theyre both still keeping up appearances but meet in secret and that's the only place they can really be themselves and have to come face-to-face with someone else who knows in detail the things they did?? like come ON. marcus is part of the reason why gunnar is the person that he is and gunnar helped marcus get to this position and do they regret it?? like putting gunnar's betrayal and devotion next to marcus's whimsy and repentance is just. so fun to me. there's something deeply wrong with these two weird old men. gunnar illegally taught his daughter to shoot a gun seemingly for nothing other than fun. marcus is over here planning on faking his death (also can we talk about how he told gunnar and not his own daughter. like. what is wrong with him. and how gunnar knows panther but claire has no idea she exists etc etc).
i dont know there's just something deeply wrong with them and this is my pitch. ponder them with me
#there's something deeply wrong with them that i dont think homosexuality could ever fix#it might make it worse even. but like. that's what's fun about it#idk i just think lisa moved on too fast from the whole gunnar spying thing like no no can we discuss that more actually#did claire even know he was the wolf before the first battle. unclear iirc. and simber too like i need to know#i assume they did know#anyways ummm i feel like i had other things to say and then i forgot about them#stay tuned for gunnar-aaron-panther fanfic because i desperately need to see THAT conversation#marcus inventor of bisexuality and also the definition of hubris vs gunnar the attack dog on a chain eternally following others. yippee#im sorry to the people who are sick of hearing about them. you will hear about them again. i think they are fun.#feel like i should also say that i dont view claire and gunnar romantically AT ALL not in any universe but that's probably clear#ummmmmm yeah. anyways#the unwanteds#gunnar haluki#marcus today#it started out as a joke and now it's not a joke anymore im sorry.#dusk originals

The Horizons stage show in AnimeJapan 2024 (last year) was interesting and the bits with Friede and Amethio's VAs are still on my mind. They got to talk about their battles and their characters in general. (The event took place one day after the initial broadcast of HZ044 and before chapter 2 ended and thus reflects the events of the anime at the time.)
Either way, Horie Shun (Amethio's VA) talked about how Amethio changed through his battles with Friede. How Amethio battled out of a sense of duty at first, but gradually, feelings of frustration and his personal desire of wanting to win began to develop inside of him.
And Yashiro Taku (Friede's VA) talked about how through his encounters with Amethio, Friede grew to respect/acknowledge his will/conviction even though they had different objectives at the time.
Very interesting insights from their VAs, hopefully the same this year too.
#always trust the horizons vas for banger analysis on their characters#friede's va そういうとこは嫌いじゃない about amethio.. always on my mind#it fits my personal interpretation of amethio too#how it's precisely against friede that amethio grew in such a way and that it was important for him to go through this process#and that it was very personal for him! the battle in the galar mines being the one which reflects that in such a strong way#because he didn't have to stop to challenge friede. they both really didn't have to#but amethio /wanted/ to battle him. and friede honored that#it wasn't about his duty anymore. it was about facing friede as an individual#someone who took him out of his comfort zone in a way that made amethio want to face that#it's so good. love this writing..#and friede's va talking about how friede respects amethio.. so good too. friede just knew the kind of person he was from the start#friede really perceived amethio in such an interesting way.. the whole “don't look away from me” “i won't look away” thing.#anyway. their vas had fun banter during the event. it was funny#it's also fun that they talked about all of this while knowing that their characters would team up in the next episode (hz045)#back then.. we didn't know this#and this year.. it comes full circle. amethio being the one to suggest a team up after friede suggested it one year ago in real time#i really hope they have lots of time to talk this year too#the stage seems less crowded this time so maybe more time for the VAs to talk at length and discuss themes from the recent chapters#liko and roy's vas always have such interesting insights too#the thought that they could share impressions on the whole lucius gibeon.. or maybe even liko and amethio's current developments#i'd love to hear their insights on this.#i hope there is a stream this year too. for both days. i need to listen to everything#hz event#character notes#friede#amethio

Wondering if I should make a little oneshot about first kisses...
#aiyuu ofc. Bc what else#anyway uh. I was just thinking abt it . Not rly sure why. But.#i had my first kiss a few days after my 21st bday#w my friend. Who is a girl#my first and only kiss was w another woman#it was really awkward that night. She dropped me off after a few days of fun#a few weeks before that she had drunk texted me saying she wouldnt mind kissing me so i could have the experience#and we discussed it that day. And we agreed to do it before we separated n she went back to her hometown#i was at such a loss on what to do lmao#we were in her car shifting towards each other and i swear i never felt so awkward or dumb before#and when it happened. I know i moved my lips but like . Not much? She did the work p much#in my defense i had no idea HOW to kiss (i still dont really...)#and i remember afterwards i was just. Super overwhelmed.#and rapidly trying to wipe my lips bc my mom came out to greet me when i went inside the house#bc her lipstick got on my lips#oh man i was so scared that she would realize LMFAOAOIFSO#it felt like my mind was racing but with absolutely nothing#i was just focused on how my lips felt like they were buzzing#hmmggg... idek why i keep thinking abt it now#me and her dont rly talk anymore. We're both too busy and live in different states now#idk. Maybe im subconsciously wishing to find a gf again and get more experience. I really dont know anymore#that was such an awkward night tho i cant help but laugh recalling it#anyway uh. Ive never really told this story to anyone oops#it never gets brought up in convos and jfjfkrkdkfm#i felt like i needed to get it off my chest

I read that same fic earlier and I just straight up muted the person so their works don't show up for me anymore lmao
there was also another one like that posted yesterday because the person was mad at something qBad did a couple of days ago while not at all in his right mind and amnesiac, it was odd (not shitting on the person just confused and slightly concerned)
yeah there’s. a lot of misconceptions around qbad rn lmao. It’s one of the reasons Im so obnoxious about him, tbh, so that it’s not JUST the negativity that gets spread. He’s a really good target for the hate rn, because he has a smaller fanbase and his pvp playstyle + lore lead him to all that antagonizing during purgatory, and that gets vented out into fics.
It’s genuinely really interesting, the dichotomy that seems to exist between tumblr and twitter regarding him. Ive heard nothing but slander about bbh from twitter (again, he is not faking his illness, that is a lie), but he’s got a solid enough foothold on tumblr that ive seen more hate towards the fans that the cc, here. which makes sense, given how we take over the tag almost ever day when he logs on. genuine o7 to people who find that obnoxious but thats one of the reasons i overtag so much, for blocking purposes.
anyway i think all the bbh mischaracterization means that we just need to write about him more >:D please this is a call for more bbh centric fics from people who do not hate him/know a little bit about his lore. blease he’s such a fun pov to write i promise
#discourse#<- discussion of it anyway#idk maybe people are spreading lies over here too but i block anyone who doesnt filter their neg/go out of their way to make bad faith#arguments.#i think ita REALLY interesting how seeing all the hate towards bad had me finding myself saltier towards other fans/creators too#so i can understand why these vent fics are being put out yknow sometimes its just really fun to hate a guy#but that’s what neg tags and bashing [character] tags on ao3 are for#on tw/itter where a lot of this gets spread you dont really. Have that#dont mind me ive just been ruminating on this a bunch the past two weeks#ive never been so active in a fandom where discourse had the opportunity to actually reach me#its been p interesting to observe how thats effected the way i say and clarify things#<- rhats the main point of my other post ig because if my gifter is someone who has been seeing nothing but bbh neg after bbh neg comes her#*here and sees me swooning about bbh’s ‘only egg protector’ and ‘no one helps him’ complexes Getting Worse during the end of purgatory#then they dont have the context that im doing so strictly for fun and not putting it on other characters/blaming them for not also swooning#we have media literacy in this house i promise#i would like more characters to have flaws and feel alone and commit incredible sins#anyway. excusez-moi im verbose when im tired and procrastinating#anonymous#shape answers

My 1 take I can give on current bfdi/tpot "criticism" (which I don't see much of but It Exists) is that from what I've seen is that a good chunk of it can be boiled down to "It's not pre split bfb"
#i try not to post opinions like these a lot cuz#1. i rather have these discussions with my friends if anything#2. I don't use social media as much anymore so I see less discourse#but its like#it kinda baffles me how when i DO see criticism towards the show a lot is just#'its not charcter/story driven and doesnt have/finish arcs'#which. may i remind you#in pre split bfb they didnt finish or halfass them either#it was so ambitious. too much for its own good imo#and sure itd be cool if we had that but#thats just not what the show is#for the majority of its run#i feel like ppl are too postsplit poisoned idk#thats its own can of worms#maybe now that bfdia is continuing ppl See what i mean that when i say#tpot is rly just More of that era bfdi again#sorry but if you want smth more character and story driven you may just want a Different Show#cuz tpot isnt bad for that. It's just not what you want#anyway i think the show is the best it could probably be rn and im having fun#if i want smth more srs i look at other things

someone talking about the ways media and common tropes/depictions of things that are either explicitly or implicitly linked to marginalized people are demonized and presented badly is not a fucking opportunity for you to flex how you're doing it Differently And Better
#I'll rb the post but I domt want to add it on cause it feels. Not my place maybe#Anyway fun fact! You can think that all you fucking want! Close your God damn mouth about it and figure out if it actually adds to the#Conversation! Marginalized ppl don't have to hear about how you're hashtag Not Like The Others!!! TAKE IN THE INFORMATION AND CONSIDER IF#THE THINGS YOU DO TRULY DEFY STEREOTYPES OR ARE STILL IMPLICITLY INSPIRED BY THESE BIASES!!! AND DO IT QUIETLY OR WITH SOMEONE WHOS WILLING#TO LISTEN! NOT ON THE POST INFORMING YOU OF THE PROBLEMS EXISTENCE#Also I'd move this tag up but genuinely idk if I can do that atm. But I'm LITERALLY guilty of the same shit. I immediately jump to no true#Scotsman the subject because I want to defend it!!! Yes I recognize the pattern is wrong and yes I genuinely believe it isn't necessarily#Inherent! But I still have to confront the fact that it's so prominent and to many people inseparable from the subject#(That being disability and body horror). I will say: my immediate instinct was to disregard any body horror that is just like Real Shit Tha#Happens To People as body horror but that's not helpful! I can't just say well it's not body horror BECAUSE PEOPLE STILL CALL AND SEE IT AS#BODY HORROR!!! I HAVE TO STOP AND CONSIDER THE LARGER IMPLICATIONS. My PERSONAL OPINIONS do not matter and the pedantic discussion is#Something to be had with friends or used as it's own criticism of the genre not ON THE POST CALLING OUT A REAL ISSUE! Anyway just.#Both artists and consumers have to be critical of What we see as body horror/what others tell us is body horror/what we accept as body#Horror bc/what we create as body horror etc. We NEED to confront that and we can't just say I Wouldn't Do That! We need to understand that#It goes deeper than that!!! Also YOU DONT INHERENTLY KNOW WHATS POSSIBLE FOR A HUMAN TO EXPERIENCE#There's so many things that ppl can experience and Live With! There are obviously things that are fatal so u rarely hear abt them but human#Beings can survive a lot of things!!! And here's the thing: the rarer something is the shittier it feels to have it misrepresented!!!#At the very basic level: CHECK IF THE THING YOU WANT TO USE AS BODY HORROR IS A RECORDED PHENOMENON AT LEAST!!! FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK#DO THE BARE MINIMUM

Got into it with a friend of a friend last night who was like MURDER IS NOT OKAY EVEN WHEN IT’S A CEO and we went around and around in circles with me & my friend being like, but this CEO was at the very least indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds or thousands of innocent people who should have received health care, and he profited off their deaths, and his dying is a warning to others in similar positions that if they don’t change their predatory practices, society will not continue to protect them and value their safety. All other avenues to rectify these issues have been blocked from us, and this kind of direct action is our last resort when our lives are on the line. Someone who has nothing left to lose will choose violence, that’s human nature.
And this friend of a friend was like BUT IT’S MURDER! MURDER IS NEVER OKAY! I don’t want a society where we think that’s an appropriate solution to our problems!!! How does an individual decide who is responsible for society’s ills? Won’t they inevitably target the wrong people? Won’t those positions just get filled by some new sociopath every time one of them dies? The machine of oppression is still running. That shareholder meeting still happened, the company still has a CEO and a board. And if we keep murdering people in power they’ll just double down on cruelty and fascism. Any permanent longterm changes that come from this kind of event will only ever be negative for us! You cannot celebrate this!
And my friend and I just sighed because like… we’re not about to go out and buy guns and try to become copycats, here. We just want to raise a drink in the air and say I hope they never fucking catch the bike guy. We had to eventually just agree to disagree so we could watch some anime like we had originally planned lmao
#this friend of a friend sometimes vehemently disagrees with us but he almost always has good reasons to#we also had a lively (somewhat heated) discussion immediately after election night about what the dems did wrong and whatnot#I do appreciate that we can have these debates while also still keeping it civil and friendly and never resorting to personal attacks#nobody calling each other evil or stupid. nobody being condescending or rude#and when we get to a stalemate on an issue it’s usually pretty minor overall and we can just shelve it and do fun stuff like video games#anyway#eat the rich

"is anyone actually vers?" Idk maybe you can't be but I'm built different
#i was talking with some people at choir and discussing how its funny that caribener code and hanky code#have tops and bottoms on the same side and i joked like. come on dykes. cant we be a little contrarian#and then we talked about caribeners and i lamented that i couldnt wear one bc im always sitting#and dont really wear clothes with belt loops anyway#“well thats your problem. you dress too femme”#and then i laughed and was like yeah how will anyone know im gay without the rainbow lanyard my keys hang on#and then at one point i was like. where would a vers wear keys anyway and there was a laugh like. vers? ok bottom#and LOOK. i may have been a pillow princess for years but that was only bc my ex was stone#never beating the bottom allegations#cries in vers#like who wouldnt enjoy a little bit of pillow princess time. its a good time!#although if im not in a relationship i almost exclusively top#like unless she's reaaaally hot#its also fun to be with a top and then be like. oh thats sweet. you thought you were going to be leading this dance?#look the only reason im vers is bc i have a bad back#like its a non insignificant contributing factor#also ppl that are like lesbians cant have tops and bottoms besides things are more egalitarian anyway. and its like#yeah we're mutually invested in each others pleasure but also what a way to announce that youve never had gay sex#theres *definitely* tops and bottoms#“rah rah theres only tops and bottoms if you use a strap” once again. what a way to say that youve never had gay sex#even the way a girl kisses you. you can tell. its literally just as simple as who takes the lead.#but ppl looooove to police how lesbians talk about their sexuality#i have had a friend whos a gay man ask before like. “how would you top? dont you both take turns?” and like. yeah.#but theres a bit more to topping than just giving vs receiving. i like to think of it as leading vs getting swept away#and its also like. you have a preference for what you like to do. both are fun but ones a bit more fun. who goes first. etc.#and penetration literally doesnt matter in terms of designation. some like it some dont. it doesn't suddenly make you a bottom if you do#and he was just perplexed like bro what is not clicking
