#but they mattered

[professorsta]

The sheer pessimism, dare i say negativity, surrounding Seong Gi-hun and his ideologies are crazy! The system got you! Its making you think we have to compete with their views and logic, but no, just because Song gihun let people die before the coup doesn't mean the front man was right.

People like Inhun view the systems as either necessary, or believe they can become the hero and gain power at the top. They are people who will uphold the system, no matter what, because they can climb the ladder and win. So they view Seong gi-hun as naive. Its naive to care about people. Its naive to try and help eachother. Its naive to want change.

But the thing is, we all know that violence is necessary in revolution. We also know that some people who should be your fellow man, make themselves bigots and agressors where it's Needed to fight back. But like the O players, fighting those people aren't our priority when it comes to revolution. They are not the point, the point is to beat the systems that enabled them to prioritize themselves above all else. Seong gi hun understood that there was no justice in killing the O players. And to the x players who got killed, it is Inhun who made seong gi hun the hero from Day One, and viewed him responsible for them. But Seong gi hun never pushed himself as a hero, he always viewed that his actions come from love. He Cares about people, viscerally so. He cares to the point of his own detriment. He couldn't live a normal life knowing people were suffering. Doesn't that sound familiar to you right now with the state of our world? It's a common thought shared right now thats its hard to continue living like its normal everyday while knowing how many injustices there are around the world. That is what Seong gi hun was going through but the suffering was in his backyard. He had to go back because he cared. Not to be a hero, not to save the day. But to do whatever he could to help and save other people. And as unfortunate and cruel as it sounds, it was not his responsibility to save the x players. He's not a hero. He's just a man trying to bring down a fucked rigged system, and he understood that realistically, there will be sacrifices to achieve that revolution. Non-glorious and unfair sacrifices. It's a common manipulative tactic that oppressors equivalent any disruption in the name of revolution to be as just as cruel as their systems actions to play a moral and ethics game. Fuck them and their game.

Its the sheer naivety of the frontman to believe that fighting together and for a system that doesn't abuse us means a Fairy tale knight in shining armor. Its takes pragmatism, sacrifice, violence, and strategy to win. It takes a group efforts where lives will be lost, but not in vain or irresponsibly, unlike how capitalism kills us and destroys our bodies for trivial and meaningless reasons. Its not black and white, but the Frontman sees it as such.

Seong gi hun is not meeting inhun where hes at in his argument about their opposing ideologies because seong gi-hun deosnt have to. He doesn't have to engage into a discussion on the frontmans terms. On the systems terms. The whole point is to break them. To walk away from their talking points and create actual physical change. The Frontman is naive in his ideology, not Seong gi-hun

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

Shoutout to the two coworkers today who casually announced that they were voting for Trump, then asked me who I was voting for. I told them "I did early voting, and I voted for the candidate who isn't going to make it harder for me to exist as a trans person" and both of these women had to awkwardly try and assure me that it wasn't personal, and it's not like they hated Harris or anything, they actually do like some things about her, and they definitely don't hate me, of course not, it's just that, you know, well, it's like, well, you know, it's just, like, and no matter how many times they tried to pass the shovel off to me, I just let them hold onto it
