A reminder that Casey being upset with Trump winning the election in 2016 is what inspired the book, in the first place. Red, White & Royal Blue is what we needed to get through his first term. Please be safe during his second term and remember that you matter. Women do not belong to men. Trans people exist. Queer people exist. Gay people exist. And ALL are allowed to exist. Stay strong. Be brave. We can get through it again.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded mfer happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

he's an apostate. he's a grey warden. he's on the run from the law. he's bonded body mind and soul to a spirit of the fade. he practices one of the rarest and most taxing magical diciplines known to mages. he's a cat dad. he was put in solitary confinement for a full year. he saves lives daily and asks for no payment. he's a massive bitch. he's personal friends with the hero of ferelden. he hates the church. he's hopelessly in love with you. he writes and distributes his own manifesto. he was forced to kill his own ex boyfriend. he doesn't see a way out. he's fucking blonde.

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

The tragic idea that the Betrayers loved their siblings so much that it ended up being what drove them apart. They didn't want to settle for anything that could hurt their family, and mortals were doing so, either directly (a mortal usurping one of them) or indirectly (emotionally hurting them during the Schism by just. dying so much). To the Betrayers, it wasn't worth it. They wanted their beloved family to leave and go somewhere that wouldn’t hurt them.

To them, it's the primes who are the betrayers. The primes were motivated by more than just love for their immediate family - they loved their creation, too, and more than that, felt a responsibility for it. They would rather fight their own siblings than leave it.

We saw all the gods love and protect each other during the opening of Downfall. The Betrayers were not uniquely evil from the start. They wanted to save themselves and their family from hardship and suffering, even if it meant leaving their creation, their game, and in response their siblings locked them away. Not only do they not love mortals, they view mortals as this corruptive force that somehow turned their family against them. Do they think that, if they succeed in exterminating them, the Primes will be freed from their influence? Maybe - perhaps some of them are waiting to forgive and embrace their siblings, but far from all, I suspect. Asmodeus certainly expressed during Calamity that he didn’t so much want to be reunited with his siblings as he wanted to punish them. He was betrayed by the ones he loved most for the sake of a game! Maybe togetherness and forgiveness was once an obtainable goal, but not anymore. Even if the Betrayers succeeded in ending Exandria, the Primes would never forgive them, and they would never forgive the primes. Their family can never be whole again because of, as they see it, the toxic influence of mortals. So they hate mortals for this influence, but more than that, they hate their siblings for being so weak as to fall for it.

"but Pyramids of Mars established that Sut-" my friend this is the three-separate-explanations-for-Atlantis show, as far as I'm concerned they can have a free-for-all when it comes to real-world mythology

"but they're ruining the canon!!" buddy I got good news for you, Doctor Who canon is a buffet and you don't have to eat anything you don't want to

On the Dark Side, the Jedi, and the moral decay of Star Wars

Just a reminder folks: The Dark Side of the Force is unequivocally evil. It is not 'misunderstood.' It poisons your mind, rots your soul, and makes you become the worst version of yourself. The Jedi make it their life's mission to protect the galaxy from Dark Siders, and they are right to do so. Because when Dark Siders get in power.... you get an Empire, a fascist and genocidal police state. That is their ideological endgame; it always was, always will be. Power, for power's sake. They may wrap it up in promises of 'freedom' and 'self worth,' but it's a lie they tell themselves, and others. They are nihilistic 'don't tread on me' terrorists, with super-powers. Compared to them, the Jedi truly are the 'moral authority' of the Star Wars universe, and they are not at all the same. There is no 'many fine people on both sides' with the Jedi and Sith. The only 'good' Dark Sider, is one who rejects the darkness, at which point they cease to be a Dark Sider. The Star Wars I love, that I believe has meaning and value for our species and our civilizations, is about that fundamental choice between giving into our darkness, and rising above it. Everyone has it in them, but we all must learn how to live with it, and keep it in check. I hope one day, modern Star Wars media will remember this vital lesson, and be more responsible with its depiction of the Jedi and Sith orders. Not continue down this path of forcing 'moral ambiguity' onto George's vision, that breaks the moral foundation of the universe he built, and makes it an ultimately depressing tale where the heroes are not worth believing in, and the villains are given excuses for their wickedness.
