Nobody. Learned. Their. Motherfucking. Lessons. Books were banned under the Biden/Harris amidnistration this post is telling us to support; the Mothers For Liberty have birthed themselves under the Biden/ Harris administration. The attacks on Black/queer history and content at every schorlaly level, and in libraries ? Biden/ Harris. This includes blue states, by the way. Roe vs Wade not being codified into law after falling apart ? Biden/ Harris administration. Drag Story Hours being threatened with continuous violence ? Biden/ Harris administration. Universities removing queer and Black studies departments ? Biden/ Harris administration.
So maybe, what the Biden/ Harris administration needs, is a whole lot of explaining why they lost from the people and a push towards securing the Department of Education, codifying Roe vs Wade into law, actually taking steps to STOP the Palestinian butchery (the two most vocal representatives in Congress about Palestine won so overwhelmingly that nobody knows who they were up against and nobody cares), lifting all the mask bans, securing an unmovable epidemic care campaign, demands from Universities that they actually work towards redress on a federal level, and guarantee protection when it comes to the use of social media. Throw in impeaching the Supreme Court, actually trying to fix the Voting Right Acts before the next President gets to it, codifying consumer safety into law, striking down SESTA-FOSTA, and crafting barries around the Supreme Court and the way it currently operates.
#stories from the void#my head hurts#my head aches#this is all very despairing#you have two months of an administration you can at least#make demands of#telling them the Democrat Party won't exist without you#but you've given up#and the people refusing to bow to Empire#are the problem

i think the thing that really gets me about pre-canon durge is their absolute sense of duty, and their utter isolation outside of the cult of bhaal.
most of the cultists seem eager to see durge upon their return, and one even says they were the first to feed him flesh. gortash tells them of an exhibition of a bhaalspawn's corpse and another bhaalspawn's creations and durge immediately plans to attack the hall of wonder to recover them. they then apparently entrust said bhaalspawn's corpse to sceleritas fel to "restore" through taxidermy. they deride orin for her artistry with corpses explicitly because "bhaal will never care" and because orin "[does] not understand lord bhaal".
even their infamous prayer for forgiveness is framed around their absolute submission to bhaal's plans, and the crime that requires forgiveness? admiring his rival's chosen. that's one line, and the next three paragraphs are swearing to carry out his plan exactly as they've been told to, all for his forgiveness.
hell, even their room reinforces this. orin has barely touched the place aside from installing her mother's corpse and her manifesto - and that is some of the only decoration. what was it before orin, an empty room with skulls, a bed, a desk, some chests and a wardrobe?
the durge didn't have any semblance of a life outside of bhaal, aside from gortash. and is it any surprise? the only other hint they ever had a life outside of the cult is the flashback of kid durge murdering their adopted family, all thanks to their father's urging.
bhaal even tries to force them back into isolation after they've been tadpoled by forcing them to kill alfira, and then trying to force a durge who resists him to kill their lover. if they continue resisting, bhaal kills them. bhaal will not allow them to have a life outside of him and, if it weren't for jergal, he would've succeeded.
#bg3 spoilers#the dark urge#honestly writing this all out it's weird that bhaal doesn't try to kill your party when you're at the temple#it'd be perfectly in line with everything else he'd done to durge up until that moment#also just makes me think of how sceleritas will tell an evil durge that the worst thing they've ever done#is giving a beggar a coin without asking for anything in return#ymmv and everyone has their own headcanons but pre canon durge was not a happy or enthusiastic participant as far as canon shows#which is reinforced by gortash saying you've always been better at controlling your urges than orin!#why would durge bother to do that when 'all father wants is death in droves death in numbers'!#honestly i think it's v reasonable to think that durge could've been tempted into bane worship given what little we know of them pre canon#anyway haven't played evil durge myself so very curious abt any insights from that route#baldur's gate

from: @starflungwaddledee to: @post-it-notes7
message from santa: "happy holidays post-it-notes! 🎄🥳 i know you very politely only wished for a few modest things- characters high fiving, or struggling in christmas attire- but i hope you'll still enjoy this given that i kinda went the opposite direction entirely! i'm an enormous fan of your work and most times you post anything i wind up browsing your art tag from tip-to-tail in enraptured delight. as such, i thought it was only fair i give back something a little more significant in gratitude for all the joy your work has given me. i knew i wanted to do a comic, so i was thrilled you already had a whole storyverse for me to work from!! this scene seemed the most obvious choice (chapter 8 of "wishful thinking" on ao3) given that i enjoy a dramatic fight scene 😂 i tried to stick as beat-by-beat to the writing as i could and worked in as many details as possible; i hope it'll be fun to see it envisioned this way! merry christmas! ~starflung 🎀🔔 "
#phew... this is by far the most ambitious piece i've ever posted here! 12 pages! this is why i've been so afk from other work haha!#shout out to the poor mods who sent through assignments and received no small amount of all-caps panicked screaming from me in response!!#me?! draw a gift for THE post-it-notes7!? immediately knew i had to overachieve to stand any hope of being up to the bar haha#if you feel these characters look a little different to how i usually draw them- that's totally on purpose!#i worked really hard to match post's designs and styling for them rather than my own; seeing as this was a gift!#actually think it stands out a *lot* surprisingly- given that they are still the exact same orbs. really interesting to compare to my usual#i hope some folks will notice all the details from the story in here! if you've read it and you recognised it please let me know!#genuinely hoping someone just recognises it on the first page. iconic canyon fight... what an honour to draw for this fic tbh#also thank you to the mods for handling all the wips and progress on this ridiculously sized entry from me with such grace#it's being posted on my personal blog due to length for anyone wondering. should be seamless... fingers crossed.#my art#my comics#meta knight#galacta knight#hnk secret santa#cw violence

Richarlyson: You're skinny sir, are you eating well these days?
Pac: Not really. To tell you the truth, I've been eating... I stole, together with my son, we stole some cupcakes from the Federation. I ate some, but I know chocolate isn't the best thing to eat, right?
Richarlyson: 12 kilos D:
Pac: 12 kilos?!? No– what? My god. My god... Am I malnourished, Doctovo? Am I- Am I malnourished?
Richarlyson: You weigh less than a pitbull, sir.
Pac: Less than the singer? Damn... [Laughs]
Richarlyson: [Hits Pac]
#Pactw#Richarlyson#Pac#QSMP#November 29 2023#Thanks again to sebbs for checking my translation!#Been meaning to post this clip for months#I think about it a LOT#Pac's got a very interesting relationship with food I'll say that much#The fact that Fit's gift to him – out of everything he could've given him – wound up being an infinite chocolate bar speaks volumes too#especially when you take this (and other moments) into consideration#The nature of hunger and food in q!Pac's story is very interesting#anyways if you've read this far in the tags#There is a fic on Ao3 that talks about this very premise :)#Doctovo#BTW 12 kilos is a little over 26 lbs#I like to interpret this as Pac being 26 lbs underweight rather than him literally being 26 lbs#both aren't super realistic but that's more realistic than weighing 26 lbs lol#Anyways please let me know if this needs any TWs

Phoenix Wright is So Stupid Funny as a player POV character because you start off playing ace attorney thinking he's just your self insert Relatable Protag Man with an illogical haircut in a world full of crazy then as the games go on and/or you switch perspectives you slowly begin to realise he's always been just as buck wild if not a complete lunatic since day one. But in his own mind he's always just so convinced he's a Completely Regular Lawyerdude surrounded by a bunch of freaks. And I love him all the more for it. What is wrong with this man.
#with apollo athena and ryuunosuke the games immediately let you know They Are Weirdos.#given Polly’s volume control Thena somehow tripping up stairs and Runo’s wide eyed panic animation.#and we already knew edgy was a unique species of creature before even glancing in the general direction of investigations.#but with nick they drip feed you his weirdness so it takes a while to let it sink in that this guy's completely out of his mind#and before you know it you've overthrown the chief of police like it's Just Another Tuesday.#Then you replay the game and realise that he's always been Like That and just lacks any self awareness towards the fact That's Not Normal.#Honestly if anything that makes him even more relatable.#I need you all to know I’m saying this as lovingly as humanly possible.#I am not immune to the Average Guy -> Neurodivergent Weirdo (affectionate) character perception pipeline.#phoenix wright#pwaa#phoenix wright trilogy#ace attorney trilogy#ace attorney shitpost#phoenix wright ace attorney#ace attorney#ace attorney series#ace attorney posting

win the fight, save your life.
#octaviablakeedit#octavia blake#octaviaedit#the100edit#the 100#*#i just saw this quote and it of course SCREAMED octavia#and spawned so many thoughts about how everything octavia is#and becomes is unresolved childhood trauma (and further trauma on the ground of course)#comes from a miserable life of not being allowed to exist to suddenly being given the EARTH and devouring it grasping for strength for powe#for connection for life for everything she was denied for 17 years#and because octavia grew up in violence and death#every lesson she learned being harder and more violent by simple nature of it#and how everything octavia's ever been taught is fight and violence and demolition of weakness#slay your demons#i am not afraid (yes you are you've always have been)#and so how could she end up any other way#but finally she does confront this she finds a way to make peace with her darkness she finds peace and happiness#and that saves her life#ultimately she does choose healing in large part so she can be a healing influence in a child's life rather than a damaging one#and i love her sooo much#but beyond being meta of course.. octavia a summary literally and figuratively

israel bombed a HOSPITAL in gaza murdering so many children and newborns and women and elderly and men i feel so sick to my stomach i just saw a video and they're all scattered on the ground lifeless my god how can you still stand with that evil evil state? how can you still have the audacity to utter to even think 'Pray for Israel'?? why did the world give up on its humanity where are the international laws where are the fucking repercussions?? israel won't stop until it wipes off the entirety of gaza i am so angry and sad and i feel so fucking powerless im shaking what has our world come to
"Intentionally directing attacks against hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected is prohibited under international humanitarian law, provided they are not military objectives. Any such intentional attacks are WAR CRIMES." LIKE WHY ARE WE WATCHING AS ISRAEL COMMITS WAR CRIME AFTER WAR CRIME???? to attack a hospital murdering more than FIVE HUNDRED people and for it to go unpunished????? what is this what the fuck is going on why is this not maddening anyone
#if this doesn't anger you if this doesn't make you fuckin sick to your stomach#then you've given up on your humanity too#the images are so graphic and gut wrenching i feel so sick#i can't imagine being there and watching as KIDS and NEWBORNS are decapitated#don't stop talking about this don't turn a blind eye to it#don't turn off your tv and pretend as if nothing's happening#we learned about genocides in school we said never again and now it's happening#like if you still stand with israel even if it's 1% of your being if you still try to justify their actions then fuck you#fuck you and im tired of being civil#get off my page go seek help#you are as guilty as IDF the blood of innocents is as much in your hands as theirs#palestine

So I wrote this next song a few days before my nineteenth birthday. And, um, back then, I was so terrified of change, and I was especially afraid of growing up. And I'd, like, cry at all my birthday parties as a child. Very, very emo.
Now that I'm 21, I don't feel afraid of growing up at all. In fact, I'm really, really looking forward to it. And, um, if I could give any advice to the 18-year-old girl who wrote this song, I'd tell her not to worry so much, and that she has no idea how many magical, magical things are waiting just around the corner for her. So, uh, with that, here's "teenage dream".
- Olivia Rodrigo at the Guts World Tour before playing teenage dream
#i love this speech SOOO SOO MUCH#it's like she took words out of my brain and put them together beautifully#and teenage dream the song that you are#and like yeah i used to hate birthdays too idk it seemed like a ticking clock like time is running out#for what i don't know#but now that im 21 i feel like okay i look forward to 22 and 23 and 25!! how wonderful to be able to live on my own#and have fun with my friends and have a small life that's completely mine!! it's scary like yeah what if things don't work out#what if yeah they all say that it gets better it gets better but what i don't#but idk growing up has given me perspective like even if it won't be perfect it'll still be okay there are not only two#options one happy one sad it's more of a spectrum and life naturally deviates between them no matter who you are#and that's okay!!!! you wouldn't be able to appreciate being happy if you've never known sadness#and tbh all of this is just a part of being human the whole experience and im very grateful for it#okay getting emo at 1 pm because i saw the tour movie but anyway i love liv soooo much#she even accepted a gift cowboy hat from fans that said 'gays for livvie' that's so cute!!!! she's the bestest#olivia rodrigo#teenage dream#guts world tour#guts world tour movie

jandy nelson, i'll give you the sun | jean anouilh tr, by lewis galantière | @soulinkpoetry | trista mateer, the dogs i have kissed | the bible
#NO SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT. NOT FOR YOU: character study.#the concept of having a complicated relationship with one's sibling.#because ryuuji was the second born and thus the responsibility of taking care of him was given to misao most of the time she found herself-#being jealous of him sometimes. and misao felt very guilty because of this but she just wanted to be a kid for a moment. so sometimes she-#would imagine that she was ryu instead of herself and their roles were reversed because misao would just get so overwhelmed with things-#that this was the only way she could cope with it at times. which is sad in every sense of the word but misao knew that it wasn't ryu's-#fault at all that thing's were this way. it wasn't anyone's fault really but it was so much easier to place the blame on him subconsciously#sometimes because the alternative was blaming herself for not being strong enough to be both a caretaker and a child at the same time.#and that was perhaps even harder for her to think about because misao has always strived to be perfect. and i mean this in everything-#she does. she wants to be the 'perfect psychotherapist' the 'perfect lover' the 'perfect friend' and it is a LOT of pressure to be honest-#to be putting on yourself especially when you are not fully equipped to open yourself up to people about how you are struggling because-#you've dealt with things on your own all your life. but yeah. misao might've felt resentment towards ryuuji even though it was misplaced-#though she also felt a great deal of platonic love towards him and even if the whole world were against him then she'd still be on his side#but misao has been out of contact with him for the longest time and doesn't even know if he is alive anymore. and she is kind of scared-#to inquire someone to find out for her like a private investigator or something. because i think misao would not be able to take both her-#mom and her half-brother dying because at the end of the day ryuuji is her last remaining family member. and he understood her-#in ways that even she couldn't understand herself.
