a big lesson for me was learning that most things are not as fragile as I’d believed. missing a class, or turning in a bad assignment, won’t instantly destroy your professor’s opinion of you. accidentally saying something harsh won’t make your friend want to end the friendship. it takes work to repair these things - it takes effort and research and sometimes a sincere apology - but you can do that because they’re not irreparably broken. what you’ve worked to build, in academia and in relationships and in life, is stronger and more enduring that your mind may teach you to believe. don’t let imagined fragility lead you to giving up
#in some rare cases someone will react dramatically to a small failure#it’s very very important to understand that that is about them#it is not about you#and environments that condition you to fear small missteps are neither healthy nor productive#but in most cases things are not so fragile#also this is a follow up to the credibility post#because your credibility will not break if you miss a day#it’s all stronger than you think#academia#study tips#studyblr#study inspo#study motivation#productivity#personal#text post

#death masque#I wanna get bangs at some point but I fear my boymode/manmode is already straining credibility

wishing death on your abusers is never "too much" or "too extreme" ._.
#i know we live in a pro abuser and abuse apologetic society#but it always pisses me off to see and hear ppl be like omg no u were abused thats so sad :((( but wanting them to die? thats too much :/#it isnt. it really truly isnt and ur nothing but a brainwashed small headed sheep for thinking so#maybe it's too much for u personally and if someone abused u and traumatized u u would be ok w it but others are allowed to want them to die#also i dont even think wishing death upon someone who hurt u and not abused u is fine#lol. i meant i THINK ITS FINE. ***#like... *wishing* death on anyone isnt actually harming someone#even plotting your abuser's death is not too extreme#i personally believe that killing your rapist or abuser isnt even too extreme#bc we should live in a society where ppl dont have to live in fear of constant abuse#but we dont. we live in a society where ppl happily protect abusers. cover for them. stick up for them#victims are abandoned and left completely on their own to deal w their entire lives being turned upside down bc someone decided to hurt them#and society does NOTHING for victims#so at least they should be able to do what they need to do#anyway whTever fuck society and tbh i find ppl who are like noo thats too extreme i credibly weak minded and condescending nd just yikes#rndz

Some funny moments from my Discord channel playthrough of Gnosia. (I'm a very small way through the game, and I'm finding it difficult but I'm enjoying it also! So don't spoil!)
#it's fun. i'm making fun of raqio and getting mad every time remnan susses me while i'm still figuring out if i should fear him#while also getting my credibility torn to shreds by yuriko every other loop. and i'm only on loop like 30#shoutout to jonas and sq for carrying me through my first gnosia win though. having high-charm people on your side helps!#gnosia

For the headcanons ask meme, hc + 😡 hc + 👻 hc + 👗, for Faramir, Eowyn or both? :)
thank you for blessing me with more distraction 🙏🙏🙏
😡 something that makes them angry
Éowyn: When people get too casual/too familiar with her too quickly. It really fits into her profile overall (I’m not a serving woman! The witch king hitting her with “thou fool), and I think she’d be rightly frustrated if people think they can talk with her like they’re equals or pals just because they know OF her.
Faramir: Sloppy bookkeeping. I’m not (completely) projecting, I just imagine this will have had an enormously negative impact on his life at many, many points, and so would lead to a small degree of Chill Lost.
👻 about supernatural occurrences
Éowyn: Possibly LOTRO working its influence on me here, but I expect that as a marchwarden-adjacent figure in Ithilien, she probably comes across more than her fair share of ghosts, such that I think she probably moves from seeing them as “super”natural to just straight up natural — and annoying — which is probably a dizzying experience for all the people who are NOT faced with them constantly.
Faramir: A recurring dream he’s subject to — that may or may not be a thin memory — is the spirits of his ancestors surrounding him on the pyre in Rath Dînen. I think his engagement with the supernatural (outwith his own preternatural characteristics) is kinda minimal, but that dream is definitely persistent.
👗for a clothes-themed headcanon
Éowyn: Once she’s married I think she gets well into Gondor’s fashions (which I imagine as Byzantine) because they are better for temperature regulation and she feels they’re both more functional and more befitting her stature — ie. they look fly as fuck. Particular fan of armbands
Faramir: A style we’ll politely call “plausible deniability drama”; neutral colours paired with understatedly flashy silhouettes, or vibrant colours with muted silhouettes. Definitely a bit of arrogance (or pride, I suppose we’ll call it), but never so much that he could be accused of it on the basis of his clothing alone.
#that supernatural one actually made me rethink some characterisation tbh#I hadn’t really thought about how nuts it is that the things eowyn grew up understanding as ghost stories were confirmed to be 100% real#obvs she treats the stories with real credibility but I think a distant fear is different to a tangible one#hmmm#anyways#tyvm!#asks

I know a lot of young women my age who live with a general fear of men/expectation of being hurt by any man they might interact with, especially unfamiliar men, and who substantially change how they move through the world to accommodate that, and I feel bad for them. which isn't to say that I'm unsympathetic to their concern—I've been the target of virulent misogynistic violence, I know it's real—but that I think their way of going about it is profoundly self-defeating. what does internalizing the idea that you are a prey animal do for you besides chain you to pain and fear? and statistically, if you really want to get into it, you're more likely to be victimized by a man you know than a strange man on the street anyway—why let the possibility of violence preemptively limit your options?
#bolo speaks#limiting reblogs bc I'm not sure how much I trust tumblr's capacity to handle this take#to be clear this is solely me talking about a specific pattern I've noticed among my female peers in college#so we're talking about a specific age + geographical + ideological demographic. I make no claims of universality.#but yeah it's like. I am keenly aware of the reality and possibility of misogynistic violence because I have experienced it#which is why I DON'T want to perpetuate that fear when I'm alone with myself. I acknowledge that it could happen but it doesn't drive me.#also the experience of [REDACTED] has thoroughly disabused me of the notion that stranger danger is a credible threat.#people *love* to excuse misogynistic violence in intimate relationships.#victim-blaming in attacks by strangers exists of course but it's so much more prevalent with men who would ''never do that''#it makes the possibility of some unknown enemy hiding in the shadows difficult to take seriously

"my radio show got people killed" How???
An apology: to be totally above board I was exaggerating. The author doesn't outright say he knows people died, but he does bring it up as a possibility as in "What we did could have gotten people imprisoned or killed and it got people imprisoned for sure."
The How: So it turns out that if it's the 60's and 70's and you insist very loudly and with great credibility
that a pan-pacific Chinese church is a dangerous cult
not only does it ruin good people's reputations on THIS side of the pacific, it's very convenient for a moral purity obsessed political movement on the other side that thinks ALL non-state organizations are cults and is looking for excuses to eradicate them.
#look at me running my mouth with no sense#on a post about people running their mouths with no sense#anyway these people were branded cultists in the US for DECADES#and some people who grew up hearing 'local church is a cult'#still believe it#they're pretty darn orthodox#but in a greek flavored way rather than latin which explains some of it#i'm reading truth matters; life matters more by hank hanegraaf#(yeah him)#at this point i don't even know what the book is about#i was blindsided by the introduction/ 'we fucked up' manifesto#hanegraaf's organization lost credibility in recanting#and trying to repair the damage#(after decades! they didn't realize what they'd done until tha aughts)#because they'd so successfully gone after local church#that a lot of people thought CRI had gone off the deep end as a cult itself#which it could be#i'm reporting this from the author's perspective i know jack#remember: authority without accountability#zero tolerance of criticism#financial secrecy#demonization of non members or those who leave#unreasonable fears about the other and the outside#all can be warning signs about cults

This seems like a good time to bring up Project 2025
In short, if Trump is re-elected, the US is at legitimate risk of a right-wing dictatorship.
PLEASE vote Biden, or whoever else winds up as the Dem candidate. Sure it’ll suck. They all do. But!!
1. Lesser of two evils
and 2. So many lives are on the line with this election. Disabled people. People who can get pregnant. BIPOC. Anyone who isn’t a cishet man.
We need to take caution now, not when Project 2025 is being contrived and it’s too late.
(If anyone has more credible sources than wiki - which I’ve definitely seen, but lost track of - please reblog with them if you’d like! I just figured this was the next safest bet.)
People are talking about not voting for Biden.
Again.
I'm just so tired of this argument.
I just can't do Trump again.
I can't.
His incompetence killed so many people. A panel estimated 40% of COVID deaths could have been averted.
One of those deaths was my mother.
She was killed because people didn't trust the vaccines and they didn't think masks were worth the inconvenience. That man could have gone on TV and said "This is the Trump vaccine and it is great." He could have sold fucking MAGA masks on his website. He had 100% influence over his dipshit followers and could have used that for the greater good. But he was too vain to wear a mask in public and bungled the vaccine rollout.
And now I worry some of my trans loved ones may not make it through another far right administration. They have this giant target on their back right now and conservatives seem determined to eradicate as many trans lives as possible.
I wrote a whole ass post about how I didn't care for Biden. I still don't. But when I try to imagine what a right wing administration would be doing right now... that seems like it would be a nightmare orders of magnitude worse than the current nightmare.
As someone with an untreatable chronic illness, I know the feeling of being presented with choices where all of them suck. And I have had to survive by choosing the least sucky option over and over.
It feels bad every single time.
I hate it.
And I still fucking choose.
It should be different. There should be better choices. I shouldn't have to choose the least bad thing among all bad things.
But there are people and things in this world I feel are worth sticking around for, so I continue to choose the least sucky thing.
#I don’t often add my thoughts to posts outside of tags but this needs to be addressed#please share and as I said if you have credible sources please link them#I’m not trying to fear monger. I’m being realistic#‘he won’t get away with that’ yes he will. the majority of our govt is made up of republicans rn#‘It won’t happen yet’ but it will happen.#‘he can’t do worse than he’s already done’ he absofuckinglutely can and will#‘he’s a criminal he can’t get re-elected’ go tell that to him then lol#‘I wanna vote third party’ now is not the time. as much as I wish it was a legitimately helpful option in this scenario. it’s not

I currently have 700+ followers. And I will urge all of you to read about what is happening in Bangladesh. What has happened in Bangladesh. I am adding irrelevant tags of the fandoms I follow to garner more attention. I apologize in advance.
The government of Bangladesh killed pressumably 950+ people, innocent people, students, all because they demanded a system that will give them government jobs based on merit rather than quota. To suppress the students Sheikh Hasina and its government imposed 5 days of total internet blackout. While imposing this blackout they killed off anyone of the streets. They killed people from helicopters by shooting and throwing grenades. Many kids died in their own homes as the bullet shot them through their window.
Sheikh Hasina and its police took away all the dead bodies and the death registries from the hospital. The official death toll is 200. But various journalistic and medical staff sources confirm the death toll is over 950 in Dhaka alone.
That monster of a PM didn't acknowledge the death of the students. Instead she is crying over the infrastructure vandalism. I request you,rise up and speak out about this. Educate yourself and let other people know. The internet blackout have suppressed the truth at large. The Bangladeshi people are in deep surveillance and the government have made 2000+ arrests on false charges just because they have shared the Information. There is mass fear mongering. I know most of you people are not Bangladeshis and that's why you need to help us and speak up about it. Join your local protests, share the news in your social media, twitter Instagram. I beg you, don't let my people's murderers get away with it. Don't let my people's death be forgotten.
I am attaching some links for you to understand the horror of it all.
This Facebook page Bringing justice to you has documented all the horrors and the massacres that happened on Bangladeshi people. TW : all kinds of blood, gore, death bodies, every single horrible things imaginable but shows what went down.
This ig page is also another page that brings you the horror stories.
https://www.instagram.com/thebangladeshivoice?igsh=YXBpdzQyem54cmZj
Al-Jazeera has been a very credible news source while the Bangladesh was under blackout. They have made several segments. I am attaching the latest one.
youtube
UN Human Rights have called out Bangladesh for explanation regarding the crackdown
instagram
Amnesty International's report of Bangladesh government using lethal weapon against its people and mass murder
There are many more contents, proof and videos to show you the horrors that was unfolded in the crackdown. Sheikh Hasina killed her people like insects and violated every single human rights imaginable. Please share these. Support us. Help us. I beg you all.

Sustained ridicule has the potential to reinforce the downward spiral Trump is now in. He probably likes it when we call him a fascist or authoritarian, because it expresses fear of him, and he aches to be feared. It acknowledges his power. This motivates him and makes him stronger. Ridicule makes him weaker. Ridicule makes him small. Ridicule makes him desperate. He’ll try to respond with ridicule of his own, but he is not a clever man. He’s a stupid man. He has no wit. He has no sense of mischief. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t think beyond first reactions. These nicknames of his, which the press has made such a big deal of over the years—they’re nothing. They’re dick contests put into words. Little Marco, Sleepy Joe. There’s nothing remotely clever about any of them0 [...] People have said, and even I have written, that Trump is bound to regain his footing at some point. I guess so. But what if he doesn’t? What if this new dynamic is just … the dynamic? Against Joe Biden, Trump looked credible to swing voters, simply because of Biden’s age. Against Harris, he looks old (because he is), confused (because he is), far less intelligent than she (because he is), and less genuinely patriotic (because he is). And the best way to ensure that he stays off his game? Mockery. Bone spurs. Orange tanning spray. Hannibal the Cannibal. Sharks versus electrocution. The whole nine yards. The Democrats have finally found Trump’s true Achilles’ heel. They need to keep poking at it, hard..
Finally, the Democrats Have Found Trump’s Achilles’ Heel: Ridicule Him

Hi, I’m making a post because something very serious happened in Korea and I’m hoping as many people are alarmed at this.
Deepfake photos have been made and sold on telegram (an anonymous chatting app), and almost 220,000 users were identified for being in Korea. About 70% of those were teenagers, and a list of schools (including colleges) that had victims within the chatrooms in the past couple of years was posted.
My school was on the list and it has been identified that two of my close friends were direct victims.
So that’s why I’m making this post. It’s a little bit of a rant and it’s mostly my anger getting the best of me.
Waking up, finding girls BEGGING their friends to take down photos from their instagram profile, the terror we felt when we found out men were hacking into privated accounts to take revenge, watching my friend breakdown as she tells me that she’s being investigated because her face was deepfaked into pornographic content - can you imagine that? Because that was me two days ago.
Korea, as a whole, is extremely lenient on their criminals - especially sexual offenders and minors - and it’s TOO LENIENT on men.
This situation is not being reported as much as it needs to be, and I’m trying to grasp onto straws by alerting people that know my stupid account on how fucked up this country is.
Men are making friends-only stories saying shit like ‘Why are y’all concerned? Y’all are ugly af’ (this is a real post i had the pleasure of seeing), and people in general have this fucked up view on AI generated content saying shit like “Isn’t this better than actually getting assaulted?”, and it makes me sick to my stomach.
I have to go to school. I have to walk around campus with the fear that maybe, just maybe, the man I walked past just now has seen a deepfaked photo of my friends. The perpetrator’s aren’t limited to simply the number of accounts within the group chat - what if they passed their phones? What if they texted the photos to each other after making them on the telegram? Our school has a big dormitory - what happens within those walls FILLED with men?? The more I have to think about it, the more sick it makes me.
I am not being the most informative and rambling more than anything. But my excuse is that there aren’t many reports and credible sources talking about this. So I’m going off on my personal experience as much as possible.
Please, people - especially women - be fucking warned about this situation. My country is one of the biggest perpetrators, but that doesn’t mean this deepfake issue isn’t (already) worldwide. It’s gonna get bigger, it’s gonna get more dangerous, and it should be making you sick to your stomach.
I hope all victims, including including my friends, get the justice they deserve.
Please, stay safe.

Let's talk about character development.
Creating multidimensional characters make them more relatable to your readers. They add richness and complexity to the narrative, enhancing its overall depth and resonance.
So. How?
Complex motivations: Characters should have motivations that go beyond simple desires or goals. Delve deep into their past experiences, fears, and desires to understand what truly drives them. Keep them consistent yet nuanced for realistic character growth and change throughout the story.
Flaws and vulnerabilities: Avoid creating characters who are too perfect or flawless. Imperfections make characters relatable and interesting. Give them vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and struggles to overcome. This adds depth to their personalities and creates opportunities for character development.
Internal conflict: Explore the internal conflicts within your characters. This could be moral dilemmas, inner turmoil, or conflicting emotions. Internal struggles can be just as compelling, if not more so, than external conflicts, and they add layers to your characters' development. (See my previous post about this!)
Consistent behaviour: Make sure to keep your characters' actions, reactions, and decisions consistent with their established personalities, backgrounds, and motivations. Inconsistencies can break the reader's immersion and credibility in the story. And the fandom will hunt you down mercilessly.
Unique voice: Each character should have a distinct voice and mannerisms that reflect their personality, background, and worldview. Pay attention to the way they speak, their vocabulary, and their gestures. This will really help to bring your characters to life.
Dynamic relationships: Develop dynamic relationships between your characters. Interactions with other characters should reveal new facets of their personalities and contribute to their growth or downfalls. Explore different types of relationships (friendships, romances, rivalries, family dynamics, etc.) to add depth to your characters' experiences.
Arc of change: Consider how your characters evolve over the course of the story. What lessons do they learn? How do their experiences shape them? Every significant event should impact your characters in some way, leading to growth, transformation, or regression.
Happy writing ❤

i promise to shoot the man i accosted in the alleyway unless he gives me his wallet. he says "this is just like rokos basilisk". i say "what?", and the man says "ah so you don't already know. i know information which is dangerous to you, and may cause unquantified but large amounts of disutility to you if you know it. give me the gun or i will tell you this information". obviously i wouldn't believe him, except omega previously told me that my next victim would be right about everything he said. so im inventivzed to shoot him before he can speak, but a weighted average of all human beliefs implies murder will be punished severely in the afterlife (so the tiny probability any god is real doesn't cancel itself out across different gods). instead i lunge forward and hold a cloroform rag over his mouth, knocking him out. now i need only fear earthly reprisal, and my accomplice (who is my alibi, due to our distinct resemblance) is a perfect copy of me. since ive precommitted to kill myself if i get ratted out (as has he, since we're perfect copies) i know im secure. in a way he precommitted before he even existed, though since that idiot thinks he's the original he doesn't realize it. hey what if i could credibly predict that he would commit to other things before he existed. he could- oh goddamn it what a waste of cloroform. before i leave to begin bringing about the existence of a vindictive superintellegent ai i pull the wallet from the mans pocket- $0 dollars. just another night for me, just another night

It’s so funny seeing the gentiles gradually distance themselves from the pro-Palestine movement and acting like they’ve been fighting antisemitism all this time. Because, like—
Where did the people who attended “long live the intifada!” rallies go? By any metric, pro Palestinian protests have been becoming less and less attended (see the DNC) and less well received. But the people who used to attend them haven’t vanished. They’re still out there, living their lives. Do you think they’re embarrassed? Ashamed? I doubt it.
The pro Palestine movement has, as it was always going to, alienated potential allies and out purity-politicked their members into radicalism and terrorism. And while I am glad the world seems to be leaning away from them now, I will never trust the goyim again. Their first instinct upon seeing the deadliest pogrom of Jews since the Holocaust was to cheer and celebrate it.
The news uniformly decided the word of a genocidal terrorist organization was more credible than the official press releases of the rules of engagement abiding armed forces of a liberal democracy. Why? Because said liberal democracy was Jewish. The academics decided human rights, feminism, antiracism, and historiographic honesty were useful, until it would have applied to the Jews.
And the world swallowed it up. Eagerly. Like it was cathartic to return to the status quo of the Jews being responsible for the ills of humanity.
And now, the news cycle has moved on to other topics (Biden steps down! Deadpool and Wolverine! Trump Trading Cards!). The pro Palestine movement has attacked everyone who doesn’t traumatize themselves with gore or set themselves ablaze to protest a nonexistent genocide. And shockingly, that doesn’t make people particularly sympathetic to your movement. So, the world’s decided yeah, okay, maybe there was some antisemitism in that pro Palestine movement.
No fucking shit.
We’ve been telling gentiles for the last 10 goddamn months that! I don’t know about you, but I saw that antisemitism on October 8th! And for pointing it out, we were accused of “playing the antisemitism card!” and “defending genocide!” and called “Zionazi scum!” But now, it’s so loud it cant be ignored and they’re deciding to disavow it.
Well, thanks. Thanks for stating the obvious after spending a year attacking Jews in every quarter. Thanks for making us fear for our lives and livelihoods. Thanks for reminding us why we need a Jewish state. And thanks for correcting those of us who were naive enough to think maybe the world wasn’t so antisemitic anymore, that maybe we were accepted and valued members of our countries, universities, companies, and communities.
We won’t forget this. Even when you do, when you deny your role in this, when you delete the celebrations you posted on October 7th, we will remember. Always.
