“Don’t get your hopes up. You’re just gonna be disappointed when it doesn’t happen 🙄”
Have you considered,
A.)Maybe it’s fun to theorize and be silly about our favorite show
B.) Maybe, just, maybe we might have reason to get our hopes up?
#yeah#maybe we’ll get our hearts crushed like we have before#but everything is a lot more fun when I’m theorizing and hoping#and not so much when I’m being super grumpy and pessimistic#also we may be delusional#but even a broken clock is right twice a day#maybe we’re on to something#maybe we’re not#either way I’m having a blast#Buddie#evan buckley#eddie diaz#911#911 abc

142 days later and I am STILL thinking about:
"Those who shine brightest require the aid of the deepest darkness."
Irreversible damage was done to me that day. It's crazy because Shigeki has NO idea the implications that statement has.
The minute Shigeki mentions Kazuki's name, Rei is so quick to remove him from the situation. He situates any and all failures as solely his own and tries to separate Kazuki from the himself as much as possible. I think he tries to separate himself from Kazuki even more so after the incident with his mentor because the events of the night confirm that Kazuki is something Rei is not and that is a good person.
#first and foremost all my homies hate suwa shigeki#but even a broken clock is right twice a day#Like your emotionally repressed son lives with a man who he thinks is the literal sun...#You tried to diss him but really you gave him your blessing!#what powerful line! its a shame he was the one to say it but also maybe that makes it more powerful tbh#grumpy x sunshine confirmed? the light and dark contrasting palettes??? CMON MAN THATS TOO EASY#i tried so hard to incorporate that into my fic but I don't think I managed but GOD my brain changed after that#kazurei#buddy daddies#the things you only catch on the rewatch…#keeping the buddy daddies friday alive by rewatching but this time im taking notes#riz rambles:bd

Dear TRAs if you threaten to "dismember someone and to kill their kids and pets" please accept that you are NOT on the right side of history.
The Chino Valley (California) Unified School District (CVUSD) Board of Education's new parental notification policy on transgender students is getting backlash from some community members who have reportedly launched death threats against the board president.
The policy adopted with a 4-1 decision last week requires the "principal/designee, certified staff, and school counselors" to, within three days of becoming aware of the preference, notify parents of a student's decision to identify with a gender that does not directly correspond with their biological sex, use different pronouns or a different name or use locker rooms and/or restrooms that do not correspond with their biological gender.
Days later, CVUSD President Sonja Shaw told "Washington Watch With Tony Perkins" that a death threat against her came through on an anonymous phone call the day after the decision.
"The next morning, our district got a phone call. A lot of things were said, but one thing was very clear — this person was going to kill me, and they said they were going to dismember my body parts, my limbs more specifically," Shaw told the show on Monday.
"Thank God we have an amazing police department who jumped on it right away."
Hours later, she checked her district email and found it inundated with threats.
"[Things like] 'you're going to die' with other inappropriate words, ‘your children are going to die,’ and ‘your animals are going to die…'" Shaw continued, telling the show that those behind the threats noted the types of animals she has. Members of Antifa also "declare[d] war" on her, she said
The development comes days after Shaw tossed out California State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, who attended a school board meeting to object the decision. He warned that the policy "may fall outside of the laws that respect privacy and safety for our students, but may put our students at risk because they may not be in homes where they can be seen."
Shaw was elected to the board in November and is the mom of two Chino Valley students, according to her district biography. After coming into the role, she and other board members wanted to make some changes, Shaw said.
"Coming into being on the board, we had a policy that was quite the opposite. That was to keep the secret," Shaw explained during the Friday broadcast of "Washington Watch."
"A lot of it has to do with the perversion of our children and, with all these bills on the table, it only made sense to put some safeguards back in place… a coalition of us worked on this policy… and it only made sense to bring it forward."
She accused Sacramento of "waging war" on parental rights, while saying Thurmond has had the district "on his radar" for some time.
In a statement, California Gov. Gavin Newsom previously called out the district for the decision: "The three political activists on the school board have yet again proven they are more interested in breaking the law than doing their jobs of educating students — so the state will do their job for them."
The controversy comes as Newsom's office engaged in another tussle with the Temecula Valley Unified School District, located east of Los Angeles, after conservative board members refused to adopt state-approved materials for their students.
Fox News Digital reached out to both Newsom's office and Shaw for additional comment on the backlash against the Chino Valley School District, but did not immediately hear back.

bill seacaster was right exactly two times and those times were 1) telling the bad kids to protect their poor squishy wizard and 2) killing gilear to put a stop to gillariel. if we had let him cook on these two specific occasions and these two specific occasions alone we would live in a much better world today

"It doesn't. Your class knows you don't want to be here and you're letting that guy order you around. That's setting them up to think people in authority know what's best for them--and for you. You can't help anyone by letting afthelms order you around."
"I don't understand. How does me just... sitting here help?"
"I'm not an... an ornament, am I? Just something that looks pretty?

ppl genuinely praising the iranian government the way they're doing in the trending page is so insane to me isreal is committing active genocide the solution isn't to praise a government that is committed to violating as many human rights laws as possible against its own people. you should not feel comfortable. iran did not heroically save a nation. you can acknowledge armed defence is beneficial to/necessary for liberating palestine without suddenly becoming an iranian government fan i promise there is a secret third way
#the iranian government funding hamas does not mean they give any fucks abt the Palestinian ppl!!#for the past 4 decades this government has been nonstop tormenting ppl actively using#an extremist warped version of what the quran posits as a weapon for oppression. so so many kids and teenagers and#academics and journalists and just . innocent ppl. have been tortured to death or shot etc etc. they have killed people for singing.#they have killed so many people for not wearing headscarves. they have raped and killed so many women#theyve done so many unforgivable things for so long! theyre military buddies w russia too pls think abt what that means omg#anyway#free palestine#ppls reactions to this is just. not it at all#like even if u 4 some reason have the broken clock is right twice a day kind of mindset#this outlook is still absurd

on my flight back from copenhagen yesterday there was a very limited movie selection so at one point I literally ended up watching captain america the winter solider bc half of the offerings were marvel and it’s the only marvel movie that doesn’t cause within me visceral hatred and tbh shocked that it’s mostly held up…it’s got good fight choreography. Minimal stupid quips. Relevant surveillance state intrigue plot, tragic homoerotic best friends, the implication that the us govnt is infiltrated by nazis and needs to be burned down..also an emo boy with long hair. Good stuff! The other movie I watched was in the heart of the sea which was extremely bad but had my very good friend Herman Melville my best friend Herman. Perhaps you’ve heard of him

“I said that the ‘extreme left’ has suppressed the art of comedy. I did say that. That’s not true,” he said. “It’s not true. If you’re a champion skier, you can put the gates anywhere you want on the mountain and you’re going to make the gate. That’s comedy. Whatever the culture is, we make the gate. You don’t make the gate, you’re out of the game. The game is, ‘where is the gate, how do I make the gate and get down the hill the way I want to?’”
“Does culture change? And are there things that I used to say that I can’t say because people are always moving [the gate]? Yes, but that’s the biggest, easiest target,” he added. “You can’t say certain words, whatever they are, about groups. So what? The accuracy of your observation has to be 100 times finer than that, to just be a comedian … so I don’t think, as I said, the ‘extreme left’ has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy. I’m taking that back now, officially. They have not.”
Well done Jerry! You finally figured it out! 🤦🏻♂️🙄

I just wanted to let you know that you are one of the only writers I’ve seen do a time travel fic in an intensely narratively satisfying way. I know you don’t really plan on updating it anymore (which is so valid!! I’m just so glad I got to read *anything* from you, you’re so talented!!!). There are virtually no plotholes, you chose the perfect character to voice the narrative (he wouldn’t give away too much, so it leaves the reader in suspense), and you write the most beautiful character relationships!! Your attention to detail and understanding of the effects of trauma supplement the narrative so well!!! Both the subtle and large-scale effects were interwoven so well. And the suspense!!!! Oh my gosh!! The double dramatic irony of us the readers knowing things Aizawa doesn’t and Aizawa knowing things the rest of the characters don’t constantly kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s one of the only fics I can reread and find new details in every time. Every single character is written with so much love and care, it’s so beautiful and impressive!!!!! It’s such a kind story, overall :,)
There are so many more things I could say, but I think I’ve left enough comments on the fic itself and would probably go waaaaay over the word limit for a tumblr ask.
I hope you continue to find and work on projects you enjoy doing, even if tmgr isn’t one of them <3 <3 <3
You’re just a truly excellent writer and I wish you nothing but the best!! Reading your works is genuinely a privilege ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
;___; maybe I’ll just cry forever because of this ask tbh this was incredibly sweet and kind and I don’t have any clue what to say in response that will express how reading this made me feel
Time travel fics (tbh time travel fixits in general, there’s a bunch of kcomics that have the same trope and I live for them too) are so near and dear to my heart, and they’re my go-to “things are hard, I need something that makes me feel like mistakes don’t have to be forever,” comfort reads, and it really means so much to me that you enjoyed my take on one so much. And also that you picked up on a lot of my deliberate choices! The double dramatic irony, picking Aizawa (who admittedly is my fave bnha character so I was probs always gonna pick him BUT he also made a great unreliable-but-predictable narrator), and the trauma affecting things subtly and obviously… Sometimes I wonder how much of what I write gets across to readers, because I’m v much a “every choice I made, every word I picked, they all had a reason even if I don’t explicitly say what that reason is,” kinda writer, and it’s both amazing and humbling to have those details picked up on by a reader tbh 💕
Thank you very very very much for sending this message and brightening my day, it was so nice to read and means a lot 💕 I hope to get back into writing something (anything!!! I miss writing) soon-ish now that the holidays are over and 2024 is in full swing, and hopefully I’ll get something out there that’ll be in a fandom you enjoy 💕 thank you again!
#starlight personal#starlight fandom#starlight asks#truly it’s when anyone goes ‘your writing is awesome’ rather than ‘this fic is awesome’ that’s gets me gobsmacked ngl#v much view my writing as a ‘even a broken clock is right twice a day’ type thing even now rather than having faith that I write well#(not that I’m not always grateful and touched by ppl who love a specific fic and not to say those comments aren’t also appreciated!!!! just#that specifically commenting about my writing ability is the fastest way to make my brain blue screen; so thank you!!!!)#it’s been a bit of a rough month so far (dear god we’re not even halfway through jfc) so this was a very very nice pickmeup to read#I really do wanna post something again soon but I don’t want to post another WIP that I’ll never finish lmfao ;__;#finishing things is the WORST I was born to get halfway through and then have the ending teleported from my brain into paper w/o effort#if only lmfaoooo#but anyway!!!! thank you so much I appreciate this a lot and I hope you have a lovely day

Mutuals will understand why I find this both annoying and deeply ironic
Look.This keeps crossing my dash and ok, I'm not gonna be that person who goes "Do A Deep Background Check on Everyone You Reblog From Or You're Problematic TM" and I'm not blaming anyone but...
But fucking Brendanicus? Really? Just let that blog die forever already.
It's not even like the point they make is original, there's plenty of other people who you can reblog this from.Most of them will even be able to clear the "knows genocide is bad" bar.
#tankies#brendanicus#yeah so Death Of The Author doesn't apply here either#even a broken clock is right twice a day#and that clock is hella broken#fuck jkr btw
