the roundabouts the analogies i am not normal about them oughh
not coherent at all rn but something something how nick and jordan treat love vs gatsby and tom and daisy. i thought it was weird at first how jordan and nick were chill during the confrontation but it?? makes sense?? like despite being gatby's closest friend nick was like "oh hes an absolute idiot"/"he's acting ridiculous" MULTIPLE times throughout the novel and during the confrontation hes just like "oh im 30 now" but he follows it up with how he's aging and still alone and not in love or with someone like gatsby or tom (i think thats roughly what he said) so during the confrontation (ive said that like 3 times please bear with me im tired) theres this really interesting juxtaposition between gatsby saying "she NEVER loved you" and hes really just risking it all and freaking DIVING into love wholeheartedly and willing to destroy everything else for it while nick is constantly wishy washy and unable to commit. "half in love with her." "for a moment i thought i loved her." and both him and jordan let go whatever happened between them and shook hands. but gatsby can straight up not let it go. "she loved me and loves me now" and counts the days theyve been apart and shapes his WHOLE LIFE around daisy
not breaking those up properly I WILL RETURN TO ANALYZE !!!!
okok tldr THEIR MINDSETS ARE SO INTERESTING while nick moves forward in the pursuit of work and a better life for himself, taking whatever happens while not fully attaching, gatsby advances based on the past for 1 person. he immediately latches onto any opportunity and hes incredibly selfish and selfless at the same time
#IM SO SORRY IF I MISCHARACTERIZED THEM i need to study their brains#nick might be projecting onto gatsbys relationship. just a bit. just a little#also with the age thing uh passing of time and such#i need to study thta more too#also something about how each character processes enviornments#nick freaking psychoanalyzes gatsby every time he sees him and focuses a lot on the way light falls on him#idek what gatsbys up to but theres the whole old sport thing and how he uses vibrant colors and parties and people to fill The Void without#actually caring about them because theres only 1 thing/person he actually thinks about#besides business#i lsitened to the audiobook i definitely missed the business parts#the great gatsby#plips rambles#plips theories

idk how else to explain it to people but it should be pretty fucking obvious why it is absolutely ludicrous to allow the united states fucking government to set the criteria as to who is and is not recognized as native/indigenous/ndn when they spent literal centuries trying to undermine and erase the fact that we exist at all.
it's no coincidence that some of the criteria involved in becoming federally recognized as a tribe requires documentation that the government actively worked to suppress. that they require the tracing of continuous existence back to colonial contact should tell you why it's a bullshit metric. that the fact that you have to have heaps of money to get federal recognition is something that you should take a long, hard look at before calling members of over 400 non-recognized tribes 'pretendians'.
the use of blood quantum as a measurement alone makes their authority null and void.
indigeneity is not about blood quantum or government permission. it is about family, culture, and community. i for one would appreciate it if non-natives fucked all the way off on this topic, and if fellow ndns would stop the infighting over it long enough to realize that all we're doing is perpetuating colonizer violence and genocide by allowing non-natives to set the definition of who we are and what we get to call ourselves.
fuck you. stop doing the colonizer's job for them.
#my anishinaabe ass#salty ndn blogging#yes this is about that actor and you can kiss my entire ojibwe ass#this shit is exactly why i do not disclose my blood quantum to anyone#it's no one's fucking business#and an inaccurate measure besides#look it up and see#look at the way the rules are set up to deliberately make all of us less than we are#make it make sense or kiss my ass

Prompt 293
Jason takes a deep breath. He takes a deep breath, in for ten seconds, out for eight, and just takes a minute before looking again. Nope, there’s still the strange quartet of orbs in the box of what should be stolen weapons (What, the government had enough, honestly) that gave his workers the heebie-jeebies.
Which is not the vibe he gets from them. In fact, he’s actually kind of concerned with how much he has to beat the Pit back with how quickly it lurches to latch onto the… Well they’re not gems, and he’s a little wary about touching them at first, but the Pit does seem to settle when he does.
Alright, he can deal with this. It’s not like he has several heads in a duffel bag that needs to be delivered or a tiny assassin child back in his safehouse (Seriously Talia, why was he the preferred babysitter?) or an entire gang in Crime Alley to deal with. It’ll be fine.
…
He would like to curse out his past self, because there’s now four babies in his safehouse that appeared to have fucking hatched from the orbs. Goddamnit.

honestly i think a lot of us should consider getting involved in local republican primaries and conventions and stuff to get less cartoonishly evil people into the party. i mean if we're stuck with a two-party system anyway, i feel like it'd be in our best interest to try and defang the worse party, instead of only pushing the vote-blue-no-matter-who angle that's been giving us so many pro-war candidates (or just plain incompetent ones). i mean like pushing from the inside to take face-eating leopard stuff off the platforms... we could potentially fumigate the republican party from the inside out if we really dug into it i think.
my extended family has a statistically above-average gay & trans proportion, and what i've gathered from talking to older/more conservative-leaning relatives is that there seems to be a strong and widespread desire to just see some politicians who will decrease/reprioritize the collection and spending of tax money and reeeeally don't like the way the republican party as an organization always tries to bundle that with attacking queer freedom... the same way i (and many of you i hope) hate the way the democratic party seems to have been bundling promises of various minority protections with drone strikes on the middle east. it would probably be worthwhile to find local politicians and movements that want to get the anti-queer stuff off of the local/county republican platforms before it can spread out to the state or national levels. i really believe the true frothing hatred of the biggest names is a vocal minority... like, in my experience, people in real life really are just like "how's it going man" more often than not. i think there's an untapped potential for a powerful bipartisan de-zealotification.
of course we should be doing the same for the left too, but i really don't think the solution for a two-party system is to just make it a one-party system instead by only showing up every two or four years to vote blue down the ballot and then stop thinking about it the rest of the time. no i don't have all the solutions or the perfect battleplan; this push would look different for every household in every city in america, because this country is so diverse and so are its issues... i just think we should be taking the shaka zulu approach of tackling the system from both sides instead of just throwing ourselves against the left flank only.
#like we need to do stuff besides yelling ''IT'S HOPELESS!! HALF THE COUNTRY WANTS US DEAD!!'' bc it's just untrue#sorry for the political talk lately but that's what's been on my mind for obvious reasons#i'll return to my regular minimal-politics policy in a few more business days#shebbz shoutz

Toby specifically stalks this elderly lesbian couple because one of them started spouting off nonsense about demons and slendy wants them to stop poking their noses in the paranormal.
Toby decides to purposefully make it obvious they’re being stalked by a real person instead of haunted, but he just further convinces both of them that they have a demon in their home. Nothing he does works and he doesn’t really wanna kill them. Starts sending them emails saying giving the demons attention gives them more power.
The ladies give ignoring the “demon” a shot, so he stops purposefully breaking into their house and moving stuff around and scaring them. Now they truly believing ignoring a demon is how to stop a haunting. They no longer stick their nose in the paranormal. This is a successful Toby mission. And he stole a lot of money and jewelry in the process. Extra Toby points
#no joke this is how a lot of missions in my au kinda play out LMFAOOOOOOOO#the proxies (besides Kate and sometimes Toby) genuinely rather not kill people if unnecessary#Kate just doesn’t really understand why it matters and thinks ‘if I haven’t been caught yet I’m never getting caught who cares it’s easier’#alongside them accidentally getting involved with other criminals and Netflix drama style situations play out#do y’all know the show good girls#where the moms rob a store to help their family but they actually rob a drug business so now the drug business people invade their life#so now they’re coming up with crazy schemes to not get sent to prison or killed by the people#LMAOOOOO#that’s the shit that happens to my proxies#chatterbox#creeped

Bridgerton time travel to just before season one.
Anthony immediately breaks up with Sienna and starts arraigning things for Kate's family arrival. Before being reminded by his mother and Benedict that he is Viscount Bridgerton first and others can help the Sharma's get settled in England.
Kate tells Mary that they are going to England now and tells Edwina to forget all that she told her about marriage, and she'll help her find a love match. Once she gets married to Anthony, after a decent engagement period, she starts helping Daphne, Lady Danbury and Violet with items that require a lighter touch then her husband's.
Benedict finds Sophie and gets her out of Araminta's clutches. Then he helps Anthony with various legal/financial matters to support all of their family and friends in the future. He also continues his art because he loves it.
Daphne helps Sophie find employment in the meantime and works with her mother to set up other social matters that will help them in the future.
Sophie is using this opportunity to help Posy get away from her mother as well. Lady Danbury eventually offers her room and board as a Governess for her grandson Gareth.
Colin starts to publicly court Penelope. She insists that he still travel and start his journals, and they can have a long engagemnet. He of course brings back gifts for everyone, even people who aren't legally in his family yet. He also takes Albion and Harry under his wing and has them hang out with the rest of the Bridgerton men.
Penelope takes this chance to improve her spy network Whistledown sources. She also makes sure to set up her sister's with their future husbands and warns her mother that her father is in worse trouble then she suspects. She and Eloise bring Madame Delacroix into their spy network inner circle. She uses her new excess funds to help various friends that are or will be in need.
Simon immediately courts Daphne and secretly finances the Sharma's ship passage. Then he gets roped into helping Lady Danbury and her various "charity cases" (she swats him for that).
Lady Danbury does her best for her various family members. Improving her relationship with her brother, arraigning outings with Gareth and the younger Bridgerton siblings. While keeping an eye on her nephews James and Marcus. She also takes every chance to invite Posy but not Araminta or Rosamund over to her house. As do the Bridgertons and eventually the Featheringtons. She also takes an interest in a young Lucy Abernathy.
Eloise does her best to support all of her siblings and their soon to be spouses. Meanwhile she's helping Penelope with her spy network Whistledown. She's also subtly trying to get Cressida to be nicer and convince her to set her hat on Lord Debling when he returns. She also talks about her new penpal Mr. Crane and his love of plants.
Philip Crane makes it look like George and Marina got secretly married before he left for war. That way her children are legitimate, and they don't have to marry. He and Eloise start up a correspondence again.
Francesca Bridgerton worries about choosing between John and Michaela but they both reassure her that they love her and are fine with whatever she chooses. They all spend as much time together as they can knowing John's time is short.
Gregory and Hyacinth are frustrated by being children again but decide to use it to their advantage and get even more info for Whistledown. After, of course, making sure that they have regular outings with Gareth and Lucy. They might have to wait to be married but they are going to be around their loves as much is proper until they are all of age.
Lady Bridgerton is delighted all of her children are in love and working to better the lives of their friends. She works with Daphne on subtly bettering things in the Ton. And is open to meeting with Lord Anderson when he is in town. But she makes sure all of her children are being "proper" before marriage to avoid any scandals. She decides to make Portia an actual friend and help her with her husband wrangling. (she often assigns her sons or her sons in laws to keep an eye on him at various locations). Mary joins them when she comes to town. They all get tipsy at Agatha's on occasion to let off steam.
I'm sure they're all getting up too much more mischief, but I can't think of anything else to add. Or who else they are forcefully adopting helping.
If somehow Queen Charlotte traveled as well, she's getting her sons to marry their wives sooner and letting her children know she loves them. She is spending more time with her granddaughter. She hopes that things will be different but knows her death cannot be changed. She also engages Penelope in a long-distance chess match, with Agatha having go between to inform the other of their next moves. When he's having a good day she's having family meals with George and their family. She still picks her Diamonds but its not as fun when she knows the Bridgertons have the whole Ton rigged now. However, they do know how to get things done and she can appreciate that.
#bridgerton#time travel#all the family#that includes the spouses and their forcifully adopted friends#Bridgerton Oprah style#you get to be a Bridgerton#what are the Mondrichs or Lord Anderson up to you ask#no idea i say#as neither are book characters or historic figures#Genevieve Delacroix is just running her business and making friends#Marina is just relaxing now that she can be pregnant and not worry about her kids being illegitimate#Portia is confused about Penelope's change at home#but she's getting things done and her girls married#so all she has to worry about is Archie#and Violet is helping with that#Prudence and Philipa are happy to have loving suitors and new dresses#Posy doesnt know what to do with all the positive attention she is getting#dont know Lucy and Gareth's stories as well#so cant say who or what besides the Bridgertons they're focused on helping#jeez i used “also” alot in this

One of my favorite things to think about with Capitano is an arranged marriage with a reader who is initially very shy, quiet, and kinda scared of him. But the more they get to know him and spend time with him, they get much more louder and excited and talk a lot- Capitano is taken aback by this change of behavior and frankly surprised because absolutely no one acts like this with him which leaves him unsure of what to do. He didn't expect you to open up like this and do stuff like grab onto his arm so casually - but he's not complaining. He likes to let you do what you want, it's rather endearing.
#smooches talks#capitano love notes <3#i feel like he would like someone who talks alot cuz hes mostly a quiet man besides his fatui business yk#its nice to hear ur voice fill the void :)#capitano x reader

visiting nobles/lords/royals quickly notice that merlin has arthur’s ear and that arthur values merlin’s opinion above all others. when they’re having trouble convincing arthur to go along w their plan or sign their Important Document, they go to merlin to try and convince him to convince arthur. merlin knows what they’re doing. merlin does not want to push arthur one way or another, he wants arthur to make his own choices and lead his people as he sees fit. merlin satisfies both of their needs by seeming apologetic that he can’t convince arthur of this but maybe they can and gives them “tips and tricks” on how to soften arthur up to agreeing to the plan.
its all bullshit.
so far he’s convinced a princess (looking for marriage) that arthur loves frogs and pranks so she filled his chambers with a bunch of toads (arthur is terrified of frogs), a lord (was “wronged” by another lord and wanted a portion of his land) that arthur is a fan of the arts, particularly music, and he ended up breaking into song and dance in front of everyone, and a nobleman (arguing against the repealed magic ban and hoping to bring back uther’s laws) that arthur LOVES potatoes and to just give him one throughout the day whenever he seems him so arthur will associate the nobleman with the joy of receiving his favorite food so he’ll be more inclined to the nobleman’s request (arthur despises potatoes).
#arthur knows what merlin is doing but cant tell his visitors otherwise merlin might get in trouble with them#so arthur plays along#he laughs at the toads#he watches the performance with a kind smile#he takes every potato with a thin smile before tossing it in the pig pens outside#and in the end waits for them to leave before turning to merlin and attempting to admonish him but merlin is too busy laughing his ass off#arthur gives up#besides. its a little funny.#and entertaining when before negotiations and petitions and meetings were so goddamn boring#(and merlin is just absolutely gorgeous when hes laughing at his plans coming to completion. the way his cheeks flush and his eyes twinkle#the way his laugh eventually goes breathless. how sometimes he has to grab onto arthur for support so he doesnt fall down. the way the su-)#ahem. anyways.#bbc merlin#merthur#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon

something something one of the reasons Nero went out of his way to stop the shit twins from killing eachother on the top of the Qliphoth - besides not wanting to lose his family 5 minutes after discovering them - being that he didn't want Dante to lose his brother like he lost Credo all those years ago
#well lose his brother again that is#but Nero probably didnt know that at the time#also this makes me question just how much of Dante's life Nero knew#how much did Dante keep a secret besides the whole “vergil is your dad” thing??#obviously i can imagine Dante keeping the whole “i killed my own brother twice” thing a secret from Nero#but what else?#would he tell Nero about his previous adventures to places like Mallet or Dumary?#Sparda being his dad?#anything at all?#or would he elect to remain this elusive figure#that Nero thinks he knows#but actually he realizes he doesnt know anything about Dante#besides the fact that they're one in the same#and that dante is this chill laid-back devil hunter#and also vise versa how much would Nero tell Dante about himself?#Would he tell Dante about his past? i think not because of the way Dante assumed Nero's first instinct was to kill Vergil#I think if Dante knew how Nero grew up as an orphan maybe his reaction would've been different#maybe something less like “i cant have you kill your old man” and more “we (the twins) have some business to sort out first”#something like that#devil may cry#dmc#vergil devil may cry#dante devil may cry#dmc 5#devil may cry 5
