the fact that lou ended his latest cameo response to me with "Hee hee!" is going to stick with me forever

the man is a gigantic dork who is incredibly passionate about what he does. if he has 100000 fans? i'm one of them. if he has 100 fans? i'm one of them. if he has no fans? i'm dead

my hobbies include missing and/or ignoring the plot of literally anything i watch read or listen to, in favor of hyperfixating on 5-30 second moments that have absolutely no relevance or significance to the broader picture but make me feel shrimp emotions

[kinkykinard]

i just saw an antibucktommy post that literally made me cackle because they said season 7 was the season of buck getting unsatisfactory sex and next year eddie would have to have a threesome with tommy and buck just so he could teach tommy what to do... like, where tf are these people getting this from? what show are they watching? they were dead serious too!

i've been staring at this ask for a few minutes and i just cannot even begin to fathom what a cogent response might look like because this is so incredibly, bafflingly ridiculous to me

that is so out of touch i feel like i need to go touch grass, let alone whoever cooked it up

instead of responding, i'm just going to release this into the universe along with all the other absurdly farcical takes i've seen floating around lately and thank the gods that i've managed to curate my experience to the point that i don't have to come across things like that in the wild

[cosmicrhetoric]

characters like astarion are soooo hit or miss with me and i didn't really get the massive hype around him before playing so every early interaction with him had me like 🙄🙄🙄 BUT. but i underestimated the appeal of setting up an active hatership with an npc lmao cause i can stand him but he can't fucking stand me every time his approval rating of my tav goes down i clap and cheer. me and the WORSTIE 😈 <333

34. stars; for maggie and joe.

Maggie Evans hadn’t asked for much in life, and had let much of what she wanted pass her by: little trinkets she couldn’t afford, friends she had no time for, Joe Haskell, who’d never looked her way, until – Until he had. And then, crushingly, he hadn’t. If there were solace in knowing why Maggie was too far gone to feel it – seeing that thing’s teeth in his neck had made her throat own ache, and heart go light, as though she was scarcely tethered to life at all. Joe said he had to answer the door, after the knock came again – if she could only get him away from here, just as she had thought, those horrible weeks in the Old House, that if she could just run far enough away, she could be free of Barnabas – She took hold of his bedside lamp. Mouthing her silent apologies, thinking desperately of the moon and stars over a balmy sea, of some place in the world where no one had ever even heard of Collinsport – Maggie brought it down on Joe’s head with a dull thud.

send me a number and two (or more) characters, and get a five sentence drabble!

Disney's animated Mulan came out in 1998, and I just know 13yr old Juliet Butler would have been insufferable about it

so, so tired of the whole dreiecksgeschichte in nord bei nordwest 🙃

[bookishjules]

sometimes you gotta realize that life is made up of things you don't want to do. and you just gotta acknowledge that and find some way to do the things anyway.. because life will throw every rock and pebble and stone, and you can only dodge them for so long before being buried beneath the rubble of what could have been a good life.. if only you'd taken the effort to catch the rocks and begin building a foundation... and then walls, and then a roof.. better to build a fortress, a home, a life.. sometimes you gotta realize that life is tough. you just gotta be tougher

[aroace-cat-lady]

Idk it just rubs me wrong when people put labels into others because they just "don't know it yet". Maybe it's because I'm aroace, and everyone who has tried to put a label on me always gets it wrong, but it feels disrespectful and invasive. What I'm saying is, maybe you do have the best queerdar in the entire world and you are right, they are xyz queer identity, or maybe it's just more complex than that and you are wrong. Other person's identity isn't a guessing game. Sometimes it isn't your business.

happy saturday, heres a snippet of the new hbo war au bopping around my brain recently~

___________________________________________________________ 💛

Opening the door to the bar, Walt was unsurprised to find it almost empty; he and Andy always caught the early bird special so that they wouldn’t be out too late on a school night. It was incredibly easy then to spot his uncle sitting alone at their usual table in the center of the room. Walt gave a quick, polite wave to Luz, one of the main bartenders, before he crossed the room and sat across from his uncle. 

“Hey,” Walt said quietly, unsure of what else to say. 

“Hey,” Andy responded with a nod before he let out a sigh and folded his hands on top of the table in front of him; Walt settled into his seat and mentally prepared himself for whatever perfectly quaffed diatribe Andy had prepared for him during the school day. “I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for how I acted last night.”

Walt looked up, confused; that wasn’t at all what he was expecting. 

“What d’you mean?”

“Walt, you and I both know I said a lot of things last night- I was upset and frankly annoyed at being woken up at almost midnight by Sheriff Riggi,” Andy sighed, looking a little embarrassed. 

“I don’t think you said anything that was unwarranted,” Walt shrugged; he was a decent kid but he definitely wasn’t the most well-behaved and Andy was definitely kinder to him than most parents in Matilda. It was high time he got a good licking in. The only card he had left to play was the humble acceptance of guilt.“I broke curfew, I lied about where I was gonna be, I broke into someone’s house…”

“Still… one of us is the adult here so I should’ve acted better,” Andy countered firmly before Faye, their usual waitress for the night, appeared at their table asking for their drink orders. 

“Well, we both made mistakes yesterday so why don’t we just call it even?” Walt suggested after Faye departed from their table, earning a half smile from Andy. 

“Okay,” Andy said easily with a nod before his face fell into a more sterner expression and Walt prepared himself for his sentencing. “I know there isn’t a whole lot to do in this town but I thought I had made it very clear to you before that you shouldn’t be breaking into houses for fun that aren’t yours.”

Walt stayed silent and instead chose to pick at the napkin placed in front of him. The last time Sobel had caught him at the Speirs house as he attempted to hop the back fence, the punishment had been pretty steep- grounded for a month at home, cell phone put in the lock box under Andy’s bed and coaxial cables removed from his bedroom television on top of two weeks of community service around town. He remembered how Ray took a picture of him picking up trash in the park in his dumb orange vest and even went to the length of getting the photo printed and framed- that dick. 

“Breaking and entering is a serious offense,” Andy continued, bringing Walt back into the present. “You’re seventeen, Walt. Pretty soon these petty little crimes are gonna start showing up on a record and that’ll stick with you forever.”

“I wouldn’t have done it if I knew someone was living there,” Walt explained weakly. “I’m not a complete idiot.”

“Still dumb enough to get goaded into a misdemeanor by Ray Person,” Andy chided him right before Faye returned to the table with the drinks in hand and her customary smile.

“Are we feeling the usual tonight, boys are you thinking of branching out?” she asked as she drummed her nails, brightly painted an almost neon pink, against the worn wood of the bar table; both men had been too consumed by the events of the night before to even bother thinking of dinner so they simply chose their usual. Truth be told Walt didn’t have much of an appetite at all but knew if said as much to his uncle he’d just open a whole other can of worms and concern that he didn’t want to deal with. 

“Lucky for you, he isn’t pressing charges,” Andy continued once Faye had walked out of earshot, not that it mattered. With so little interest in the town, Walt was sure the whole town had already heard about him breaking into the old Speirs house and having the shit shared out of him when he found it to be occupied for the first time in almost twenty years. 

“Who?” Walt asked, unsure still almost twenty-four hours later of the name of the man who scared the shit out him. 

“Ronald Speirs,” Andy responded firmly. “The man who legally owns that house.”

“Oh,” Walt muttered as he took a sip of his rootbeer; the name was vaguely familiar in the annals of Matilda history, perhaps it was the son or grandson of the Spiers who owned the big empty house. 

 “Sheriff Riggi suggested a course of action and he approved,” Andy continued. “You’ll have to do community service. Again.”

“How long?” Walt asked as he rested his chin in his hand and pictured another two weeks picking up garbage in the park.

“Three months,”

“Three months?” Walt exclaimed, horrified; it was early May and that meant that he would lose almost his entire summer to picking up trash and whatever busywork the police department found him capable of doing.

It would hurt less, losing most of his summer to this bullshit, if this summer wasn’t already supposed to be so important to him. Come August and September, half of his friends would be leaving Matilda, for school or a career, and despite any promises, Walt severely doubted he’d actually see any of them again. People didn’t often escape Matilda but when they did it seemed they did it for good. 

“At least,” Andy said firmly. 

“Matilda’s gonna be fucking trash free by the time we’re done,” Walt grumbled, automatically assuming Ray probably got the same sentencing as him; at least he wouldn’t be suffering by himself. 

“Not quite,” Andy said as he took a sip of his beer; when Walt sent him a questioning look, he explained. “I might have worked out a deal with the Sheriff. You’ll still be doing community service but it won’t be the usual trash pick up.”

“Care to expand on that?” Walt asked, curious.

“Once the specifics are ironed out I’ll let you know,” he answered with a tense smile. “I know you and Ray were there last night but Speirs and Sobel told the sheriff that they saw two other people fleeing the scene. So, who else was there?”

“What? Rat on my friends and my sentence will get reduced? Did Sobel suggest that?” Walt asked scathingly. “No way in Hell, Andy, I’m not a snitch.”

It was a common tactic for Sobel, not necessarily the Matilda force as a whole, to throw other people under the bus for reduced sentences. It was perhaps that reason why Sobel was the most despised person on the force, even though Larkin and Evans, on paper, were just as nasty pieces of work to avoid. Even though Sheriff Riggi was the top dog in town, depending on the crime, it was almost better to get caught by her, either because it meant avoiding the embarrassment of getting caught by one of her rat deputies or because she actually still held a modicum of empathy in her body. 

“Sobel might’ve thrown the idea out but I knew you wouldn’t say anything,” Andy said with a small quirk of the lips, a shadow of a fond smile. Walt couldn’t help but return the look; he knew his uncle also thought Sobel was trash but would never outwardly admit to it. “But I asked around and I know Brad wouldn’t be caught dead doing something dumb like that and Leckie said that both Evan and Lilley were working late on some project of theirs at the print. So, shot in the dark, I’d assume it was Stafford and Christeson with you last night.”

Walt frowned but said nothing; it didn’t matter though because his silence was answer enough. 

“Am I cold or have I hit the mark?” Andy asked with a raised eyebrow before he took a sip of his beer. 

“You can’t keep shit a secret in this town,” Walt grumbled as he deflated and took a sip of his rootbeer. “So are you gonna tell Sobel what you know?”

“No,” Andy responded easily, “But you friends should count their lucky stars that Sobel’s shit at actual police work or else their asses would be in trouble too.”

Les 1% les plus riches sont en guerre contre le reste du monde

“Il y a bien une guerre des classes, mais c’est ma classe, la classe des riches, qui fait la guerre, et nous la gagnons”. Warren Buffett – Good Reads: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/123058-there-s-class-warfare-all-right-but-it-s-my-class-the

“Le terrorisme est la guerre des pauvres. La guerre est le terrorisme des riches.” Ustinov Peter: https://www.grainesdepaix.org/fr/ressources/sinspirer/aphorismes/le-terrorisme-est-la-guerre-des-pauvres-la-guerre-est-le-terrorisme-des-riches

Comment cette guerre se manifeste-elle?

En France, comme ailleurs, l’éducation nationale a pour mission d’éduquer les futurs citoyens et de réduire les inégalités de chances de réussite. Il n’y a aucune volonté des gouvernements aux bottes des ultra-riches de remplir ces missions. Le système scolaire manque de moyens et sert de garderie pour des parents qui travaillent beaucoup trop.

Le travail à plein temps ne permet pas de se renseigner suffisamment pour être un citoyen actif. Les ultra-riches souhaitent fatiguer la population pour éviter qu’elle réfléchisse. Les Bullshit jobs se multiplient. Il n’est absolument pas nécessaire de travailler autant et si loin de son domicile. Les cas de harcèlement au travail sont nombreux. Les burn-out se multiplient. Ce travail rend malade et le coût de la mauvaise santé liée au stress, à la nourriture industrielle et au sédentaristme est supporté par les contribuables. Il nécessite des crèches et des écoles ainsi que du parascolaire payés également par les contribuables. Le coût environnemental est également important: bouchons aux heures de bureau, routes plus grandes pour les gérer, trains trop pleins, distances parcourues en voiture pour se rendre au travail, etc.

La redevance télé est payée par tous les citoyens. Hors, cette télévision ne leur permet pas d’acquérir les savoirs pour voter en connaissance de cause. Le public serait idiot et ce serait pour faire de l’audimat qu’on leur proposerait uniquement des contenus divertissants. Ce devrait être des experts qui expliquent leurs recherches qui passent à la télévision publique.

Les journaux ont été rachetés par des milliardaires qui contrôlent ainsi la presse, donc l’accès à l’information des citoyens. Celle-ci n’est plus un contre-pouvoir.

Les acquis sociaux obtenus par la IVème République avec le Front Populaire sont remis en cause.

La sécurité sociale est de plus en plus menacée. De moins en moins de médicaments sont remboursés. Les hôpitaux de campagne ont fermé. Il y a des désert médicaux.

Les principaux syndicaux bénéficient de cet état de guerre car ils vendent de la protection à des individus appeurés. Les grévistes doivent retourner au travail en n’ayant obtenus que des miettes. “Les syndicalistes ont tellement l’habitude de ne rien faire que lorsqu’ils font grève, ils appellent ça une journée d’action” disait Coluche. Il disait également: “Faire faire la grève à 18 millions de mecs pas inscrits, c’est pas un problème, mais leur faire reprendre le boulot quand les revendications ont pas abouties, c’est plus dur déjà.”

Le chômage a vu sa durée réduite. “A la télé ils disent tous les jours : “Y a trois millions de personnes qui veulent du travail”. C’est pas vrai : de l’argent leur suffirait;” disait encore Coluche

Les allocations retraites ont été réduites.

Le coût du logement ne cesse d’augmenter et ne permet pas aux plus pauvres de vivre près de leurs lieux de travail. Les propriétaires sont en majorité les ultra-riches et les élus qui augmentent les prix pour gagner encore plus d’argent.

Les Restos du coeur n’ont jamais eu autant de personnes à nourrir. La précarité se répand partout. A l’échelle mondiale, la majorité de la population a faim. Quand la population demande des conditions meilleures, c’est des armes de guerre qui leur font face. Ce sont les Etats aux mains des plus riches qui sont violents et qui refusent la démocratie.

L’expérience menée par Cyril Dion de 150 personnes tirées au sort qui reçoivent les experts pour décider de ce qu’il faut faire pour l’environnement, montre que tous les citoyens sont capables de comprendre les enjeux si on leur en donne les moyens. Il ont même fait du meilleur travail que les élus professionnels, sortis des grandes écoles et aux bottes des ultra-riches. Ceux-ci se sont empressés de mettre au placard la plupart des mesures proposées par les 150.

Les 150 – des citoyens s’engagent après la convention citoyenne pour le climat | Documentaire LCP : https://youtu.be/d87ebaDlq7M?si=C9FTlq2UJuL_2YtU

Les plus riches sont responsables des plus gros écocides dans le monde: ils détruisent les forêts dont la forêt amazonienne, polluent les mines, détruisent les fonds marins, imposent des conditions telles aux agriculteurs qu’ils détruisent les terres, qui, à force de produits chimiques, risquent fort de devenir stériles, et maltraitent les animaux.

Ils bénéficient d’énormes avantages fiscaux pour payer peu d’impôts. Leurs entreprises reçoivent de l’argent public (par exemple, pendant la pandémie). De l’argent public est dépensé pour soutenir les banques quand celles-ci ont pris des risques peu raisonnables et ont provoqué des pertes pour ces riches.

Ils font semblant de jouer le jeu du partage du pouvoir avec le peuple tant que cela ne remet pas en cause leur suprémacie. Mais en cas de risque de vrai changement, ils n’hésitent pas à user de la force. Par exemple, la répression sanglante des manifestations du premier mai à Chicago.

The class war in American politics is over. The rich won.- Vox: https://www.vox.com/2014/9/3/6098677/the-class-war-in-american-politics-is-over-the-rich-won

Dans l’Antiquité, juste avant la démocratie athénienne, le peuple vivait dans une terrible misère et il y a eu des manifestations. Face aux revendications des pauvres, les oligarques ont prêté serment de faire le plus de mal possible aux pauvres. Quand Solon est devenu le premier maire d’Athènes, les riches ont préféré jeter leur fortune à la mer plutôt que de payer l’impôt. Un siècle plus tard, quand Sparte menaçait Athènes, les descendants des oligarques ont trahi la cité et ont massacré les Athéniens. Sparte, avec Alexandre, a récompensé leur trahison en les installant comme tyrants. C’était la tyrannie des trente.

Les Trente – Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Trente

La guerre civile à Rome a opposé les oligarques à la plèbe car ils refusaient que la loi limite leur richesse comme le proposaient les frères Gracques. Jules César défendait le peuple. Après son triomphe, après avoir vaincu Pompei, les oligarques sont allés jusqu’à l’assassiner. Les assassins se sont défendus en accusant César de vouloir être empereur. Rien de son vivant ne permet de corroborer cette thèse. César avait dit ne pas vouloir être empereur mais tribun de la plèbe, c’est-à-dire le défenseur du peuple contre les riches, poste qui existait au Sénat. Il avait bien affirmé vouloir appliquer les lois Gracques.

Vivre comme si il n’y avait pas de guerre, c’est se mettre en danger.

Deux amis (Gérard Jourd’hui) – Chez Maupassant S01E04: https://youtu.be/jjW9Nh_k-us?si=A8Eydj3LFVMlyyiu

Il faudrait que la police et l’armée défendent le peuple plutôt que de protéger ceux qui se sont accaparés du pouvoir sans égards pour la volonté du peuple.

I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me and i don’t know how to fix it and i don’t know why i feel the way i do and i don’t know why I’m incapable of being a good person but i do know that i need more therapy then I’m currently getting which is none but the earliest possible appointment is NEXT MARCH so maybe I’m just fucked forever
