Damn they really trashed the Swans all over again... somehow I never really realized just how much Ryan Murphy and Gus Van Sant hate women

if the sims 3 didn't take 8 years to actually fully load into the save, i would genuinely commit to fully switching from ts4 to it

today i love the red metal crane in her long neck arching her body over the boston skyline, which means i am okay for a moment. when i am unwell, everything is a little ugly. i always tell myself look for the beauty but when it is bad, i will look at birds and sunsets and little ducklings and feel absolutely nothing.

when my brother got his puppy, i was in a deep depression. what kind of monster isn't affected by a puppy. i was gentle and kind to her - i just didn't have an emotional reaction. she's five now and i feel like i spend all of our interactions apologizing to her - i don't know why. i just didn't feel anything. how embarrassing. i feel like if i admit that, i'll seem cruel and jaded. it comes in waves. like, two months ago when i went out into the world - it was like that. life behind a pane of stormglass. a firework could go off over your head - nothing. like dead skin, no reaction. not to ice cream or rainbows or baby chickens. life foggy and uninteresting.

i love goslings again. i love their little webbed feet splayed over grass. i love good food and live music and long walks. i like puppies. i feel like some kind of my soul has been starved - i keep staring at everything with wide eyes, trying to burrow the sensation into my stomach. it's real. beauty is real. when it's bad again, remember this. i stop and smell the flowers, feeling cliche in the moment. i like the white-to-red ombre of my neighbor's roses. i like colorcoding and yoga and cold drinks. i try to pass my hands over every moment, feeling like i'm squeezing joy out of every instant. remember this. for the love of god, it's real - just remember this.

Illario feels like he is owed the position of First Talon, and honestly? I agree.

The way they talk about the rumours that Caterina wants to give the job to Lucanis implies that this is new information, or at least a mew confirmation of old suspicions. Even though they both knew Lucanis was the favourite, Illario used to believe he was an option. He talks about all the effort Caterina spent "training and grooming" them. Both of them. So Illario was raised being told that everything Caterina did to him, all of the torture and abuse he endured, every merciless training session, every sore muscle, every cut, every bruise, was so that he (or Lucanis) could become First Talon someday.

Only, now Illario isn't going to be First Talon. Lucanis is. So what was all of that for? Illario didn't get to have a childhood, a life, and had to spend most of his days suffering, for what???

imagine barry growing up as a (oh-so-obviously) neurodivergent kid who's a massive nerd, and the kinds of bullying and teasing he got not only from jerks at school but his own friends, iris included

imagine how his interests, from science to the supernatural, or dismissed or ignored unless they somehow benefit the people around him, today

imagine him spending his entire adolescence and young adulthood apologizing for everything. for being late, for not being neurotypical enough, for not begin "properly professional" (which is the same issue as the previous one but no one likes to talk about it), for being too fast, too needy, to nerdy, too passionate, too driven. for caring too much

imagine henry allen seeing how his son is developing from the other side of the glass. imagine the grief he feels for the parts of himself his son is starting to lose due to the judgement of others

imagine henry, being out of prison, and seeing barry and leonard snart interacting for the first time. joe and iris are extremely disapproving of their relationship. but henry is not. and barry can Tell that he isn't. that he supports this. he just doesn't know why

the reason why is simple: the entire time leonard snart was in the room, barry didn't feel the need to apologize to anyone for existing the way he is

I truly have no patience for "criticizing a creative choice is disrespectful" as a statement. If you can't tell the difference between sending hate or harassing creators/fans, vs. saying "I didn't like this and here's why" you are an idiot. And on the flip side if you're a creator and someone says "I didn't like this" without any sort of personal attacks or hate involved, simply on the basis of critique and personal preference, and that makes you feel bad enough to stop creating then maybe you should step back and either get offline or make room for someone who has an actual creative vision that isn't "I want everyone to like me."

but when they're out on that river bank alone, what javier should be loyal to doesn't feel as confusing anymore

Doesn’t it feel cruel to force this disability onto Earth, though?

See, I understand where you're coming from when you say this. She has to adjust to a life where tons of opportunities have been taken from her and where she can't do as much as she used to. We have to watch her grieve what could have been and what never will be and it sucks to see someone suffering when they didn't deserve it.

But that's kinda the thing, like. She isn't disabled because she "deserved it", disability isn't like... a punishment. It isn't cruel to be disabled. It's something that just happens, whether from an accident or from birth or from getting old. It's fine to feel cheated, or that it's unfair, or any other thought about it because it really does feel that way sometimes. But... idk, you've just worded this question in a way that deeply irks me and I can't place it.

I think, this is a matter that runs deeper than what you're asking. I feel like Earth having chronic pain and using mobility aids is not only deeply important for some able-bodied folks to see but also for disabled folks who relate and connect with her. Taking the "oh no your disability is disabling you!! let's fix it and get rid of it right away" approach would be fucking awful rep and would undoubtedly feel like a kick in the teeth to those who have her same struggles right now.

Real life disabilities like this don't really get magic fixes like that. They can't switch bodies and get rid of their pain. They can't get repairs and never have to worry about it again. Even in a magical-scifi world like tsams, it then becomes a weird implication that disability doesn't exist in an advanced world and therefore disability is only an issue for the less advanced or something, yk? It's just. It's not really about "forcing disability on Earth." It's more nuanced than that.

The thing about Francesca is that it isn't just saying "loving you is worth any punishment," it's saying "a punishment that keeps me with you is no punishment at all." It's not that you can brave a hurricane if it's the cost of loving someone, it's that standing in a hurricane for eternity with the person you love is still an eternity with the person you love, and how could you be happy with anything else?

To those who don't have any family to eat with today, know that you still belong. You still matter. Your life is still important, and while it may feel like you don't have family right now, a loving group of people (or even just one really awesome person) will come along. You haven't met everyone you'll ever meet yet.

Parkour Civilization is weirdly good! It starts a bit cliché and predictable, and you soon wonder how far this initial idea can go.

And then they pull out the parkour battles.

And then they pull out dystopian themes.

And then you get invested in the execution of the courses.

And then they slap you with lore for the world and high stakes and clever problem-solving alongside some ridiculous deus ex machina, and intrigue and mysteries and-

AND THEN THEY SLAP YOU WITH THE MURDER CLOWN???

(And if you squint there may even be some yaoi in there? But for once I genuinely could not care because I was enjoying the story too much!)

Go watch it. If you've got the time and can ignore inordinate amounts of vine booms, go watch it. It's worth your time if only for the humor and skill display!
