Redrew the first piece of art I ever posted on tumblr (and its 2014 redraw) and just now realised the original is 10 years old and I am old.

Do you think what you're experiencing right now is similar to what Kristoph went through after his murder? the paranoia, the delusions, etc.

"...Paranoia? Delusions? What are you talking about?"

"Although (Richard III) himself seems to have not been aware of this until it was too late, it was the duke himself who destroyed his brother (Edward IV)'s polity in the name of preserving it."

How deranged does the US look to the rest of the world to be proudly welcoming an indicted war criminal to address Congress?

AND ANOTHER THING. saying that the latinos who voted for trump aren’t “real latinos” overlooks the fact that a lot of latinos (ESPECIALLY 2nd gen and immigrants. undocumented or not) are conservative.

this doesn’t make them less latino. being latino does not mean being progressive, or liberal, or socialist or etc. it just means you’re from latinamerica.

denying them their identity doesn’t make them exempt from anything. it just ignores the issues in our community of colorism, classism, queerphobia, and xenophobia. just because you’re latino (just because you’re not white) does not mean you’re not complicit. it doesn’t absolve you of anything.

always always always that stubbornly kept hope that like. not even the hope that his parents would change or understand him, but the hope to understand them and their reasons better. in order to. forgive

good morning. individuals. i hope you are well today. i am experiencing post lancer shock syndrome and my throat is hoarse cuz i think i actually started screaming super frantically and my brain is fried at the implications that come forth after finding out there is someone who looks exactly like sigourney working for the ungratefuls. it's her. it's exactly her. but she's got both her eyes. and it throws yves for such a loop he starts crying in his mech and panics and panics and panics.

If you weren't strictly following canon and red string was canon divergence, where would the string most likely change macaque behavior

hm well like my au is canon divergence? but in the smallest way because Macky is forced to acknowledge his issues earlier in the show than before. like yeah it mostly co-exists in canon but in a way where i make their emotionally starved issues a visible manifestation that they cannot ignore

the only reason it stays in its coexist-canon status is bc MK hasn’t changed. he’s not the one being forced to see the strings tied to his hands (which would probably overwhelm him and cause him to overthink that)

anyway,

i think it would be s4 where the actual change occurs because he gave himself time to actually process everything and acknowledge his unhealthy ideology of fate/destiny, viewing his fall as inevitable (guys like him not being the Hero yada yada). thereby, having the courage to initiate himself more into the group bc he knows they’re important to him

On one hand it's nice not to be the only one suffering, but on the other hand it's hard not to feel angry about having to watch your loved ones also suffering needlessly without being able to do anything. But then yet again having grown up with a homebound disabled mom definitely played a huge role in being able to recognize that the fault lies not with me re: disability and discrimination, which has helped with dealing with bureaucracy throughout the years.

i took the biggest fattest couch nap today like a middle aged dad. and do i feel like i wasted my whole day? yes. but do i at least feel extremely rested? absolutely not.

I'm to the point where if I hear you're endorsing/voting for Kamala Harris and you're publicly getting mad at people for not voting for her, I'm not even going to listen what you have to say, you've made it clear you have to strong principles to guide your decisions beyond "what's worse for me personally?" I think Harris voters have no actual ideologies to live by, despite claiming they do, and I fundamentally don't respect them for it. It's one thing to be angry at people who won't vote for Harris, but it's another thing to pretend you're doing it because you have some sort of moral authority and not basing it off pure selfishness. You think that solidarity is posting about things and that's it. You refuse to make yourself uncomfortable, even momentarily. And you get mad at people who are willing to go through discomfort for the sake of others. You call them names, ans claim that THEY are the selfish ones in this scenario. You've given up on making a change in the world for the better, or maybe you were never interested in it. All of your arguments pale in comparison to reality, because Harris is actively funding a genocide. She has even refused to acknowledge a reality in which she does not fund that genocide. Has made such a thing clearer and clearer. All my problems here in the imperial core are secondary to that. I'm about to go through multiple personal issues that are made increasingly hard by political factors and I still think that's nothing in comparison to what Palestinians and Lebanese are going through overseas. You've placed yourselves as the ultimate victims in the world and to me it's laughable and completely out of touch with just how fucked everyone else is because of the imperial beast that is Amerikkka. And speak nothing of the way the victims of Amerikkkan imperialism on Turtle Island bear the brunt of societies' woes for your personal comfort and refusal to make any meaningful change. Not ev baby steps! You think trump is an accidental anomaly and not a product of a larger issue within white amerikkkan politics. Is it not shocking to you that so many people here are voting for trump so enthusiastically?

Seeing things like the weaponization of personal identity, like "Muslims for Harris," used so plainly is an insult to the ideas of internationalism that you all claim to follow. What use is solidarity with the victims of imperialism if you refuse to acknowledge the entirety of the imperial complex? That includes the democrats you hold so dear as well as the Republicans? What use is any of this if you only think for yourself?

You claim to be thinking of others, and that's why you vote for Harris... but what is so incomprehensible to me is the comfort in which you accept the inevitability of Palestinian deaths. Why are you so willing to accept that reality? Why are you comfortable with that reality? It shocks me and disgusts me in a way that I can not really describe. You lot argue and argue and argue, but in the end, the difference between you and me is that I refuse to engage in a reality where Palestinians must die in any case. You have yet to refuse that. In actuality, you all refuse the baby steps, the bare minimum, of refusal to engage in continuation of that reality. And because of that, I do not take you seriously, nor do I view you as being moral in your decision to sacrifice Palestinians.
