Hc that Vox asked Alastor out a few years ago before he left and that’s what Alastor really meant by “he asked ME to join his team!!!” in Stayed Gone bc he just. Wildly misinterpreted his archenemesis going “hey we should be together”

if you're a white person taking pleasure in the idea that Trump voters of colour are experiencing racist violence from white trumpers because "they got what's coming to them" I don't think you're anti-racist at all, I think you were just waiting for an acceptable target, and you're also fucking weird.

Bad Person Deserves Punishment For Their Sins give me a fucking break and get yourself out of the fucking catholic church. you're all prison abolitionists until you see someone you don't like.

i truly believe that most white USamericans have never had a conversation with somebody who doesn't speak much english irl, and that's why they are so nasty towards palestinians online - bc not only can they not fathom somebody not knowing "casual" (americanised) english, they also see palestinians (and let's face it, poc who don't speak english well / at all too) as being less intelligent for it too. this is because of racism 👍🏾

Good job everyone

Alright, it was interesting, but I gotta steer the Virtue of Compassion AU back on track, lads. So have a concept I had thought of based on previous questions.

I could try to mix both ideas together, where you do remember a past life you had, but you couldn’t remember what it was.

So when the Beasts try to say that you were formerly a Virtue, you can’t 100% deny them if they’re able to describe this past life with such detail that it leaves you wondering.

Then again, can you really trust the Beast Cookies of all else?

huge amount of respect to pecco for this (x)

You’re in his dms I’m putting on a fucked up lil play with his British cousin clad in white bodysuits and cowboy masks while beaming it directly into your brain to cryptically warn you that his dad is evil as you break down crying in the art room of a school I don’t actually attend. We are not the same.

Funniest thing about orv is that besides like the major spoilers about people’s identities (the author, sp, etc) all other spoilers are like. So specifically ingrained within their own contexts and arcs that when I see stuff about them it’s so startlingly baffling that I end up not getting spoiled at all. Which is hilarious lmfao

orv spoilers in the wild suck, but at the same time i cant take them seriously like. someone will comment ‘it really sucked when the bureau stabbed kim dokja with a stick and toasted him on open fire like rotisserie chicken to turn him into the empty vortex of destruction ball of destruction and bring down the end of this worldline as we know it’ like .that was an option???  that was something that could happen?? the problem of my current story arc is get a sword to fight a baddie and you want me to worry about the empty vortex of destructio ball of destruction? there isnt even a stick for them to stab him where im in right now ill just. get there when i get there man.

a lot of people act like xie lian was entirely unaware/ignorant to the power imbalance in his and mu qings relationship when he was probably the most empathetic and understanding towards mu qing. for example, he defends mqs behaviour to fx multiple times because he understands what causes it.

i think he just believed their friendship overcame this power imbalance (which was easier for him to do because he wasnt negatively impacted by it unlike mu qing).

whereas, despite how deeply he cared for xl, mq couldnt overlook it because he was literally xls servant and was faced with this power imbalance everyday.

xl saw mq as his friend first, however mq believed he was viewed primarily as a servant

[rhymeswithumbrella]

you know what really pisses me off? so many people acting like he is the worst person out there and no one will miss him. A LOT of people are grieving now and missing him including people that these people supposedly follow and care about. liam was not the supervillain people wanted him to be. he was messed up and did messed up things likely because of what happened to him. this conversation deserves so much more nuance than people are giving it. and maybe it’s too early to have this conversation now but it’s helping me process and grieve so i’m really writing this for me. people are complex and doing bad things doesn’t make you a bad person or someone worthy of death without being given the chance to make things right. and another thing, it is SO hypocritical to make fun of him and look down on him like he’s the ultimate Bad Guy meanwhile i bet every single person you have ever admired in the spotlight has likely also done bad things or at least things you wouldn’t be proud of. fame is an illness and it can cause people to harm others because they were hurt themselves. human beings are a culmination of everything that they’ve been through and everything they’ve done. he is not only the bad things he’s done and it’s okay and normal to grieve him as a whole person, because he was one.

Derap needs Zam more than Zam needs him. Sure, Zam is beginning to rely on Derap some, and Derap is a good influence on him to be more selfish and stand up for himself( like against Kab), but Zams been on his own for a long time and before Derap posed being teammates, Zam was prepared to be on his own longer.

J don’t think Derap can handle being on his own like that. Derap has wanted a team for, forever basically, and I think his recent conversation with Wembu post revival really highlights that. Derap pretty much blames Wembu for making no one want to team with him. And he is really upset by that, he couldn’t find anyone to team with him, until Zam. Derap was going to give evryhting to his team, when he was desperately wanting to team with the Sticklers, he was going to give them his hearts. He was prepared to give everything and all of him to a potential team.

But that didn’t work out, and then Zam showed up. Someone willing to put up with all Deraps trials and tests, their morals mostly lining up and even better he had no team. Zam proved himself to be reliable and Derap even felt like he could help Zam. But they’re not equal in how much a betrayal would hurt, not even close. Another betrayal would be devastating for Zam, he’s been hurt so many times this season, and who knows how he would take another betrayal of this magnitude. But for Derap, he would lose everything. Zam will always have Mapicc even if they’re going through a rough patch right now, he could probably team with the empire if he fully committed, he’s got Kab and Poafa in his corner and even Eccoridor ! What does Derap have to do? Wembu doesn’t even want to log on ever again, and by teaming with Zam he’s effectively burned several bridges. What I’m trying to say is that Derap needs Zam. (More than the other way around)

An enemy defeated AND free venison

what's with people who don't like alastor... cooking him??

[mapsofnonexistentplaces]

to be honest cannot deal with jewish liberals that are like ‘don’t conflate zionism with being jewish you’re being antisemitic’ because to be honest zionism is nothing but beneficial to colonisers and the only people you’re targeting when you whine about being asked to negate your association with a genocidal mindset are the brown people who are direct victims of said genocidal mindset. with all due respect it’s completely justifiable to have people ask you if you are a zionist on first dates and whatever and it takes one second to say “no i am not” so throwing a fit about such a mild inconvenience because people might misjudge you rather than having empathy for palestinians and making said empathy blatant is laughable
