The populist, anti-establishment energy that figures like Trump, Musk, and their ilk have harnessed for personal and financial gain is a double-edged sword. And honestly? I don’t even think they realise they’re sowing their own downfall yet.

While they position themselves as disruptors (despite being privately educated, ultra-privileged warthogs), they’re inadvertently emboldening a public distrust in authority and wealth that doesn’t distinguish between 'good billionaires' and 'bad billionaires.' And there’s only so far hiding behind a 'free speech' argument will work—even for the dumbest person in the US or UK alike.

They’ve built this hateful sentiment, but they won’t be able to control it, no matter how many millions they plunge into their attempts. They’ve laid the groundwork—'media can never be trusted'—so… what’s next?

As we’ve seen with the public support for Luigi Mangione, this sentiment is already spilling over in ways that make corporations—and even the so-called disruptors themselves—uneasy.

And honestly? I hope it hurts when it bites them first xoxo

This scene hits different on a rewatch.

Myungha looks so sad because he thinks at this point that his time with his friends in the game is limited and that promising Kyunghoon things about when they're older is empty words, and it's so easy to feel that sense of unease and regret, but watching it again and knowing that they will get to do those things together is such a relief and so good 💖

i just wanna give him a hug and tell him it'll be okay and to keep trying because things can and will get better, for all of them.

ALSO i love this scene for what it means for Kyunghoon - he's gone from "why would you be friends with someone like me" to planning their future together and i love that kind of friendship, that's how things should be. he's happy and confident in the friendship and the fact it will last and that Myungha will WANT to be around him for years to come and ugh i just want to squeeze him.

I think people who write de-aging kid fics about DC characters are great because it's all like "oh my god! Through totally random and unpreventable circumstances X character has been hit with magic/sci-fi bs and is now an adorable lil guy who needs the love and support of family and friends!" And that's 100% my kryptonite. I love it.

I do think people are sleeping on speedster controlled aging though.

I would kill for a fic where Kon gets deaged to five and Bart just shrugs and deages to five as well because it looks like fun. Then the two of em get into shenanigans and enjoy the childhood they never had.

Or if Hal gets turned into a child and Barry joins him so that Hal has company. And the two of em get to interact as kids and just have fun for once in their lives.

Or if Dick gets hit with a magic spell and shrinks back down to nine and Wally's like "Oh god, we were terrible as kids! I don't want to get stuck babysitting him..... 💡! I CAN'T GET STUCK BABYSITTING IF I'M ALSO A CHILD!!" And then it's just gremlin Dick and Wally running around together being the absolute worst.

I just think their selective aging thing is nifty and the fact that they can manually switch their ages is a fantastic plot device that rarely gets used.

Gender Swap AU idea (aka TLJ gets pregnant and bingqiu are girls)

TLJ and SXY fall in love, TLJ gets pregnant, SXY refuses to betray TLJ (not knowing of the pregnancy) and is locked up and tortured in the Water Prison forever while officially getting kicked out for "having ties with demons."

Meanwhile, TLJ is ambushed and sealed under a mountain, barely managing to protect the baby in their belly despite the sharp sting of betrayal. TLJ manages to slow down the baby's growth for a while and lengthen the pregnancy time while they try to heal a bit, but eventually runs out of energy to keep that up and ZZL has to help them, uh, get the baby out. It's a gory process, what with being under a mountain.

TLJ struggles emotionally and physically to care for the baby, so ZZL eventually decides to abandon the child in the forest, arguing that the baby would probably die one way or another anyway, and at least this way TLJ doesn't have to watch it slowly happen.

Instead, a rogue cultivator (SJ) stumbles upon the demonic baby and, at the whims of her beloved disciple NYY, decides to spare the demon spawn and let NYY care for it much as if it was a pet, assuming NYY will get bored sooner or later or the baby won't make it to the year.

The baby, against all expectations, manages to survive and grow into a energetic youth, who SJ treats more like a personal servant than a child/grandchild. That is, when SJ isn't mistreating LBH (NYY named her that bc she liked the Luo river in winter... Look, she was like 9) for being half demon and taunting her about being abandoned to die/being generally abusive. This eventually culminates into SJ throwing LBH into the Endless Abyss during the immortal alliance conference, where SJ reunites with her long lost childhood friend and, aware that she is a shady ass rogue cultivator with a half demon for a """disciple""", decides to clean up her image a bit (or at least avoid getting blamed for the attack) by uh. Quietly getting rid of said demonic disciple.

Abyss arc, LBH fully blackens, goes to the demon realm, hunts down info on her bio parents, visits TLJ to ask them why they abandoned her/even had her in the first place if they didn't want her, TLJ tells her that SXY betrayed them but TLJ couldn't bear to get rid of the baby... And then the baby looked exactly like SXY and TLJ couldn't bear looking after the baby either. LBH comes to the conclusion that all humans/cultivators are Bad, breaks her parent out of mountain jail as a first and last act of filial piety, and they raze the human world to the ground (separately).

CQMS and SJ oppose them, with YQY dealing a killing blow on a weakened TLJ but almost dying in the process. LBH walks in, realizes YQY and SJ have some sort of bond, and kidnaps/tortures/kills YQY to hurt SJ. (People assume it's in vengeance for the dead parent thing but uh, no, she just fucking hates SJ and wants her to suffer)

SJ meanwhile hunts down and acquires Xin Mo as a last resort to avoid the end of the human world as they know it, learns YQY has been taken, and fails to get there in time to save the woman from being kicked into the Endless Abyss in a "fuck you" parallel (already practically dead, since YQY expended what little life form she had still in her to temporarily cripple LBH via self-detonation). LBH and SJ fight, SJ gets the upper hand through Xin Mo's corrupting influence, and SJ "finishes what she started" by decapitating LBH. Then Xin Mo turns against her and she dies horribly of a qi deviation that rips out all her limbs and melts her internal organs.

The story finishes with red and teal flowers growing where their puddles of blood coalesce, and a lotus blooming from the bloody flesh of LBH's severed head. The Endless Abyss rift, still open and active under Xin Mo's passive power, further corrupts the nearby lands and it's left ambiguous whether the rift will ever close or if the monsters there will start escaping it and spread over the lands, potentially dooming the human realm anyway.

......So of course when SY transmigrates into the main villain SJ her first order of the day is 1. Love and cherish the tragic figure of LBH 2. Be a decent mother figure 3. Not yeet her child into the Endless Abyss. 4. Maybe try to orchestrate an early meeting with YQY and get a cushy job at CQMS and some decent cultivation education for her disciples/kids. She needs that job security, goddammit.

(Spoilers: LBH gets the mommy kink of the century and enough mommy issues to make Freud rise from the grave dick-first. And yes, she gets together with SY/SQQ in the end and it's a bit weird for those who Know but nobody has the balls to say anything because LBH has always been Like That... And her life's dream since childhood has always been to be forever with her shizun so like! Good for her???)

(Also, through a series of convoluted events and plenty of face slapping, the Old Palace Mistress is eventually outed as the Bad Guy All Along, and a very fucked up but barely still alive SXY is rescued from the Water Prison. TLJ either gets released or gets a plant body, and SXY and TLJ get the opportunity to start anew with a LOT more shared trauma this time. ZZL is just glad he got to take his pound of flesh when SXY and TLJ rained unholy vengeance on the old palace creep.)

Hey !!

I love your fics, but the one about him writing a letter, bbg he’s blind 🫢🫢

1) I never said he physically wrote them. He could have typed it, could have had someone like Foggy write it for him, he could have used speech to text. There are so many options

2) I did not ask for your, or anybody else's, criticism.

3) Don't bby me when you're trying to insult me.

[artinandwritin]

OK I WANA KNOW

Which of your characters has your favorite symbolism. I love symbolism in characters pls tell meee

OKAY OKAY SO my absolute favourite symbolism in any of my characters is Siri's water/ocean symbolism!!! It's a running thing in her story that most of her important moments concern smt water-related, such as her first child - lil Niv - being born on the ocean and then being lost to that same ocean, her whole storyline with Ludvig has a water-connection, plus, water is a pretty important thing in her job as a midwife/healer.

Water is a symbol for her personality as well. Siri is a very calm and sweet character, gentle as water is to wounds and soft as a stream. However, the turmoil both the Ludvig and the Niv events and her marriage have given her reveal the deep emotions that crash out of her like the sea crashes on shore.

You could basically call her a rip current, smooth on the outside, a strong pull on the inside, which is what makes her such a complex character with such different aspects to her - just as water has a lot of aspects to it.

Ty sm for asking!!! I love this aspect of my baby girl and ive been wanting to talk about it for a while now!!!

The funniest thing abt Siri's water connection tho is

That she can't even swim

To demonstrate, have a drawing from early 2020 as a lil treat <333

it is extremely teenager-coded to not even think to ask for help or not be able to articulate the help you need, and also i understand these High School Junior Year Struggles exist for the sake of the season arc and individual character development and that's probably why the entire gang isn't breaking into porter's house to christmas carol him into approving gorgug's multiclassing, but also it is super jarring for there to be both a literal trust fund baby living unsupervised in his massive house and an orphaned (?) teenager who needs to get a part-time job to pay for her school supplies. fabian's house definitely has barrels of diamonds just sitting somewhere, but instead adaine has to cut the Infinite Strudel for eight hours a day.
