I think a large reason we have so much discourse is that a lot of people don’t consider weakness and softness as if relates to class.

Like they’ll talk about how Izzy calls Ed and Stede soft or weak for certain things—and then just leave it that. With no consideration for why a pirate wouldn’t value those traits.

Like…a great deal of Stede’s ability to be soft is tied up into his lack of financial consideration. Like yes I think talking it through, being nice, enjoying fine things etc is a good thing, it’s also something that comes from privilege.

Like even speaking as a matter of time, if your not struggling to feed yourself (and in Izzy and Ed’s case, uhhh 50+ others) you are given more opportunity to work through things, and make changes.

Like…it’s either about masculinity or class, but class plays heavily into what sort of exploration is available to you. And growing up poor is going to give you a different sort of value for the tough it out, take care of yourself mindset, because you have to focus all your energy on surviving.

And then people just treat it like typical masculinity based toxicity, but it’s a lot more than that, and like…background matters. Sometimes people deserve a little more grace due to circumstances.

Y'ALL. Y'ALL so for a long time I've believed that "the sun" in Meursault's story is Carmen, and I went to check Hell's Chicken's dialogue to see exactly how he said that he'd dealt with distortions before, and... you know what else he said?

To my knowledge, it is a phenomenon where an individual morphs into a form often unfit to be considered “human”. It has no known causes, and the appearances were all different.

Unfit to be considered human.

Meursault, who, in his book, was judged by the court to be soulless.

Meursault, who has EGO for Cyborgs who have been so mutilated they barely act like people anymore; a murderer who was experimented on until ceasing to be human; a sheep named after Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, a novel about the humanity of androids and the inhumanity of humans; and now a rose that can't help its bloodsucking nature, based on Carmilla, a vampire whose story emphasized the duality between her vampiric traits and her human ones.

Meursault, who answered Heathcliff's ironic question of if he had metal for brains like this:

I'm placing my bets now, that line from Hell's Chicken is foreshadowing for Meursault's canto even more than "I have witnessed a number of [distortion] cases in the past" was

Criticising korean fans when they do something actually dodgy is all fine and good, should go for anyone who does invasive or weird, shit but also the amount of times now I see (usually western) fans just being like. Blatantly xenophobic and racist. Pretty much being like Yuck korean fans.... ?????? You're obsessed with a KOREAN POP ACT? why are you saying Korea like it's a slur you weirdo

i know we already knew jace was going to the wall but now it's canon jace knows about the prophecy to me, because why else would he go? just loose time for weeks on the road just because cregan wants to show it to him? i don't think so, babygirl is seriously thinking about the others and the cold and dark coming from the north.....and because jace takes his role as the future king seriously he thought to take a look and confirm his mother's words. would he believe her?

a post about fic updates! so the fics im currently juggling are dog teeth, tams, and of course, taob. my original plan was to start posting the second installment of the dog teeth series by sometime in april, bc it's the fic im most into atm and i already have the first chapter done, i just want to bank another one or two because once i start posting it i want to KEEP posting it with regular updates, hopefully every 2 weeks like with kaiein. HOWEVER this will put my atla fics on a back burner. april is a good writing time for me (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) bc i have the entire month off from uni to prep for may exam season, and i always want to write when im procrastinating my degree. which is. it's own thing im sure i'll graduate it's fine i'm fine. so if i focus on dog teeth, neither tams nor taob will get focus until like. june. which is par for the course with taob but im NOT happy about doing with tams.

SO my thought process was i can either be normal about this and just accept it's literally my final year at uni and im trying to graduate and it doesn't matter if updates are slow on ANY fics, or i can do my usual and implement an insane deadline that i somehow always make by the skin of my teeth. can you guess what i went with?

and thus i present unto the crowd my tentative plan: have the next taob chapter done by middle of april (im aware this is quite hand-wavey but it gives me a month to work with, so in my head this means anything between april 10th-20th), have the next tams chapter done by the end of april, and dog teeth can follow.
