my chronic pain gave me enough of a break to churn out a quick messy Trailer Trash Miku concept. Based her off the women I grew up around in the rural south and midwest <3

they banned ap psych in florida cuz the class ap discusses sexuailty and gender which violates ron desantis' piece of shit dont say gay law so fuck you ron for that
in the college board statement they say it was banned because "teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law" which is bullshit because these gov leaders believe anything lgbtq is a brain disease so you'd think theyd keep the brain learning class
they banned ap african american studies because "it lacks educational value and historical accuracy" which is making it easier for them to erase black history that is so intertwined with the history of this country that most everything here is so deeply antiblack
this mf has his head so far up his ass that hes ruining our education system even more than it already was

Hellooooo Alien Isolation fandom, good to see all 14 of us again
Hey so I had another super fun definitely lighthearted and not sad idea about our dearly beloveds Amanda Ripley and Christopher Samuels
Consider this:
An alternate reality, where Ripley dies (before Samuels ever gets to the Apollo reformat chamber, but after Taylor is already injured and things are quickly getting further out of control), and in his concern over not hearing from Ripley for a long time, Samuels makes the decision to go look for her in the last place she told him she was in. As he searches he feels an anxiety that he’s never known before. He tells himself she’s fine, likely hiding from the Joes or the Alien itself. But then he finds her, bloodied and unresponsive in a corner and feels his entire system freeze up. He feels a strange and desperate urge to check her pulse even though he can tell from here that she’s dead. She’s dead. No, this wasn’t supposed to happen. This was supposed to be quick, in and out, just like Verlaine had said. But now, now the one time he makes a personal decision to help someone, he damns them instead. The story of a young girl, losing her mother under mysterious circumstances and searching for her for 15 years had spoken to him and for the first time in his life, he had wanted to make a difference in someone else’s. He suddenly finds himself in front of a gurney, where he’s moved Amanda’s body so she won’t be left to rot on the cold metal floor. He also finds he can’t move, eyes glued to hers, which in turn are fixed on a point no one else can ever see.
“I’m so sorry, Amanda. I only wanted to help.”
And he stays there beside her, unwilling to leave her. He knows they have no chance without her anyway. There’s nothing for him to return to. No point in returning to his post even if he could. He’s failed to recover the Nostromo’s flight recorder unit, but more importantly, far more importantly - to him anyways - he’s caused the death of the one person he had wanted to help. So he remains there, beside her, as the ship continues to disintegrate and tear itself apart around them, the screams, gunfire, explosions, and alien shrieks all slowly being drowned out by his own thoughts:
I failed her. I failed her. I failed her.

you seem like the. kind of person who I'd run into during a rock concert while I'm trying to find bathroom and notably you are dressed kind of oddly for the concert (see: divorced dad outfit. hawaiian shirt. jorts. chunky sandles. giant sun hat.) and so I ask you "hello, do you know where I can find the bathroom?" and you go "yeah sure!!" and you point me the complete opposite direction from the bathroom. not on purpose, but because you also have no idea where the bathroom is. I thank you and go on my way, both of us oblivious to the fact we are currently very much not at a rock concert. it's an idie band that just screams really loud. sorry if that's specific you just give me giant 'perpetual tourist that isn't really a tourist and has never left their home city but just seems like a tourist anyways' energy
naw thats a pretty reasonable impression id say

actually scratch that. i take back what i said about leo mainly bc odin’s goofy little ówò faces ARE adorable in it and made up about 70% of the reason i now consider the fates manga peak content even if it is sadly only 16 chapters </3
yeah honestly like i know leo was the most popular fates character but i j kinda assumed this was written well before that poll came out so i was kinda surprised?? but from what i skimmed through (and i did read a few scenes in full) its actually rly interesting to hear it from his perspective and i think its p cool especially cuz it might build off of the leo centric drama cd (MAYBE. i dont actually know im gonna have to relisten to that and then read this) but hes j a funky guy. though i also appreciate the scenes with more xander focus bc 1) laslow and 2) hes just kinda like. LIKE HES SOOOO “dont say anything bad about king garon even though hes the worst guy in the history of guys and kills—not just kills but MURDERS people” like why are we thinking like this buddy. ur sooo interesting lets talk about that!!
