asking w much love for kevi day in my heart but: can kevin be cruel? whether intentionally or not ! hes v multilayered n i must admit some of my fave parts of aftg were when he was being scathing. i liked how he balanced his immense ability to empathize w literally anyone w his more cutting side yk

oh absolutely!!! kevin can be and is cruel especially when it comes to exy!!! he’s ruthless!!!! he sees the beautiful clear line from point A to point B and he does not care about anything else except for how to get there. i dont even think kevin is much good at empathizing at all; i think the good things he does are not so much out of any empathetic feelings but rather a logical conclusion in his head that they are needed to achieve a certain goal

for example, ive never taken kevins promise to give andrew something to build his life around as kevin Empathizing with andrew — i think kevin genuinely believes andrew is worth the effort and finds it a waste of potential if andrew doesnt live up to it. he doesn’t really hurt for andrew’s woes, but he wants andrew to overcome them because it is a step needed for andrew to achieve the life kevin believes andrew deserves

i would say this is a constant theme for him with most characters except for jean (who is always an outlier whenever kevin is involved and shouldn’t be counted anyway). kevin believes in greatness and hard work and commitment and he will be cruel if he thinks you are not working hard enough to achieve it, no matter what the circumstances are. he’s very cutthroat and ruthless :) no sense of compromise at all! my princess

Wait a minute! Is Norway Scotland's sugar daddy in this scenario 👀 AU material

Also the Swedish athlete got a frostbite down there?! I have never experienced frostbite but that sounds painful 🫢

Norway'll always be a sugar daddy for Scotland 👀 did I mention the Norwegians also prep the Brits' skis? They are almost a part of our team ✨ And all the oil collaboration between Norway and Scotland over the North Sea?? Norway is the sugar daddy

ikr?? 😭

I'm reading Pet Sematary and I think this novel could be taught in high school English as a second language class

hello upper middle class northern usamerican tumblr user. i want to play a game. you will notice that you are in a super america convenience store in rural kentucky - you have three minutes to purchase a snack and drink of your choice and make normal small talk with the cashier. however, if you use the word "cryptid" or generally make reference to appalachia and its inhabitants as "wild", uncivilized, or lacking restraint around alcoholic beverages during your time here, i will personally tie you to the chassis of a four wheeler and tip it into the river. live or die. make your choice

Election Year: Politics in the Age of Misinformation

What we're seeing a lot of right now is the compulsion the average person has, when desperate for a sense of normalcy and hope, to all but deify a candidate when set at odds against what they've determined is the devil of their lives and the destroyer of the world they were either raised in or wish to live in.

When this happens, incalculable falsehoods are pumped into the well of information, flooding it to the point that what's abandoned is the sober truth in favor of a subtle mania to compensate for adverse conditions. Flooding it to the point that no one knows what's real anymore, and we know that we don't know, but we cram it down deep so we can continue to maintain the reputations we have among our chosen groups--to maintain our identities, which we've cultivated and preened and burdened with a marriage to our sanity.

ok sorry i lost the idgaf war bc this is just so stupid its haunting me. really curious how you think we "get them health insurance + dental" without having some intellectual/theoretical basis to inform the strategy. wishing hard enough?? asking santa claus? also there is no "organize" without a consistent, ideologically informed approach, theres just a bunch of people in a space hoping to achieve something through their collective assortment of Vibes

i hope all the Call Me By Your Name fans will one day watch Stranizza D'amuri and collapse

no you see, the reimari method of justice is actually totally ideal. basically, gensokyo is a crazy tgirl commune, so there's gonna be some bullshit going down at any time. and there's no remediating or talking thru something like "my soulmate sister disappeared forever but now she's back in yandere mode" or "the animal mafias are all in heat at the same time". so the two most confident, tired, and poly girls in the place are tasked with indiscriminately exploding everyone and anyone they see, including each other. like these messy girls will try to talk ideology or riddles and every time reimari respond "i wasnt listening just die for a second" and then they shoot a laser and then woman moment has passed! plus the sloppiest makeouts always happen after combat so they are doing the girlies a favor. anti-carceral, direct action defenders of t4t

CONTINUED prayer circle for the fallout girlies because the most obnoxious fun draining scrote havers are coming out of the woodwork because of the new show.

i downloaded babel to have a nose and do you ever pick up a book and within five minutes you can tell the author is an american who was obsessed with harry potter and is using their literary career as a way to work through the fact that they still love it but they’re not allowed to publicly admit that anymore

when cj the x directly compared rick and morty’s show concepts and formula w miraculous ladybug and asserted that rick and marinette are similar in the sense that they are two unstoppably powerful protagonists with endlessly unfolding powers But they have completely different ethical systems NO ONE ELSE HAS UNDERSTOOD ME MORE

Gnashing my teeth trying to resist getting drawn into good omens discourse because. i have opinions. but they're the type of opinion that is only really supported by or make any sense when accompanied by a 10+ page research article with proper citations. Which I have not created. So my options are sit here and fume or incoherently yell at strangers on the internet which. is not something that I should do when I don't even have any citations.
