You know how in school teachers tell you to cite primary sources in your essays to connect them to real world works and keep your papers engaging?
Well I do that but for journaling. There's a lot of "here's an email I sent to my mom about my attempt to bake scones" or "here's a text exchange with Laura about my trip" or even "here's a stupid Tumblr post that I'm proud of."
Primary sources. But from my life.
It's almost like scrapbooking, only in a word doc with no pictures.

Crucial advice but if you have a post that randomly pops off and invites swarms of angry ppl doing dumb discourse in the replies or tags then cut her off babe. Mute her, delete her, whatever. She broke containment and she’s not your baby anymore. It’s no longer a random thought sharted onto your blog at 1am for 6 people who know wtf you’re talking abt specifically, you are now OP to these people and they’re firing off weird takes that are so offputting. Spending your precious hours getting mad at random posters from outside containment is not enriching for you. Take her round back and put her down. Peace and love on planet earth.

Keep scrolling if you blame Spider
Spider, who is literally still a child by human standards.
Spider, who never gave away Jake's or the Omatikaya's location.
Spider, who cares about the Sullys' safety over his own.
Spider, who didn't want any blood on his hands or a guilty conscience if he left someone to die.
Spider, who just didn't want anyone else to get hurt.
Spider, who never betrayed the Na'vi (unlike Jake but hey, who's counting that, right?)
Spider, who had to fend for himself to survive the toughest events because he didn't have an adult who would tear the world apart for him like the Sully children do.
Spider, who loves Pandora and Eywa.
Spider, who just wanted to be one of Her children because he never knew what it was like for a mother to love him.
Spider, who probably understands Eywa's whole "balance of life" meaning more than others.
Spider, who already lost Neteyam but he couldn't afford to lose anyone else in his life, no matter how terrible they are as a person.
Spider, who helped Jake save Kiri and Tuk when everyone else was still too shocked to move.
Spider, who chose mercy over violence/death.
Spider, who did what he could to survive (I'd like to see how YOU would react under such pressure. It all seems obvious and easy watching from the other side of the screen, right?)
Spider, who was likely being misled, brainwashed, and gaslit by the Recoms.
Spider, who is clearly a victim but hey, let's blame him for simply being a decent human being, right?
Spider, who likely thought he owed Quaritch after he saved him from being tortured.
Spider, who likely thought he owed Quaritch for giving him life.
Spider, who just wanted a father who was proud of him.
Spider, who has been clearly neglected by the heroes (Jake and Neytiri) but doesn't openly or verbally blame them.
Spider, who doesn't purposely threaten children's lives like Quaritch and Neytiri do.
Spider, who just wanted to be one of the People.
Spider, who wouldn't have made those difficult choices had he been properly loved and raised.
Spider, who is as easy to blame as Lo'ak for endangering the people they love (but again, no one's counting, right?)
Spider, who is clearly not a villain, just misunderstood.
Spider, who wasn't raised by the village but didn't burn it down to feel its warmth because he's not petty, not vindictive, not evil, and not a killer.
Spider, who is. A. Child.

Cyanide narwhal thought of just. Ajax has spent so long plotting and planning meticulously for his blorbos. Getting to meet them. Does he ever get excited and forget that like… he’s a god? He’s not just some rando excited to meet someone to these people he’s the god of annihilation? Like the craziness of him reserving a plot for Waming is fun but like. I’m just imagining the stage fright and performance anxiety that Yunjin, or Gaming would feel because that’s a god in the audience. Or Barbara or Nilou counts too ig? Would Lyney and Lynette? There’s so many people goodness just. Childe can be such a menace accidentally forgetting he’s not just Some Guy.
i think at some point guizhong would point out the exact same thing and they would start the tradition of actually getting good disguises and going about the blorbo thing incognito. so while he's still a well-known menace as a god, nobody knows the extent to which he's a menace. and since he's so openly just around as a god, nobody's going to suspect he might be present when in disguise, since he seems to have no problem existing aroud without a disguise. if that makes any sense,,
