something about how both wei wuxian and jin guangyao repeatedly say they ‘didn’t have a choice’ in their actions. in both cases, it’s not literal impossibility, instead determined by their mindsets and personal conduct…. but while for wei wuxian that means he can’t do something immoral, even if it means losing all his social power, for jin guangyao it means he can’t do anything to lose his social power, even if it means doing something immoral. the other option is still there, but it’s never one they’d pick.

something about how they’re trying to walk the same path but in opposite directions: wei wuxian willingly left the nice, broad road in favour of upholding morals and debts, while jin guangyao is trying to claw onto it and stay there by any means necessary. in both cases, being parted from it so easily is only possible because this nice, broad road — full of people whose social power is unconditional, given at birth, independent of their actions — was never truly theirs to begin with. but despite how it is possible to be forced off due to nothing, as we see with wang lingjiao, the positions of both these characters were ultimately due to actions they took.

(about how no matter the similarity of the paths, no matter the narrowness of the choices, the direction you take is still up to you.)

A/N: I dearly love Rin; I want to give him a hug (from one scarred little sibling to another). Reblogs are appreciated <3

If there's anything Rin Itoshi desperately wants right now, it’s you. He doesn't seem like the type to love, and he feels undeserving of it, especially since he believes he hasn’t worked hard enough for it. Why did it have to be you who confessed first? You, who had stolen his heart so effortlessly—he wished he could do the same. His troubles with communication only made him overthink. The voices, oh, the never-ending voices, and the thoughts that linger too long when you're not there beside him.

He hated the voices. Maybe that's why he managed to make you a sweater overnight, using a crochet set he bought on a whim (the colors reminded him of you) and a single YouTube tutorial on how to crochet for dummies. It was an excuse to keep his mind off the unwanted thoughts.

Once the sun rose, he finally finished the sweater—a simple design with the sleeves in different colors, your favorite on the left and his on the right. A yawn escaped his lips as he closed his eyes, accepting the invitation to dreamland, hoping you'll be there too.

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

Have you watched the musical "Spiderman: Turn of the dark"?, what is your opinion? (I love musicals, but haven't watched this one, first I want to know if it is good).

Also I would have expected that the one who would get a theatrical musical, would be DP. I bet that if the musical exist in the universe of the boys, Wade would be a little jealous. 🤭🤭

i actually haven't seen this one - i've listened to the entire soundtrack and read synopsises, and know all the lore behind it and it's a point of obsession for me but - all the cams of it are so poor quality that it's completely unwatchable for me. i get too frustrated that i have to just stop watching.

i always ask people the question, you know, if you could time travel to any moment in time, what would it be - and when they turn that question back at me, my answer, at the ready, is that i'd go see spider-man: turn off the dark, on broadway. i'd give anything to see it, honestly. i want one of the spider-man stunt-men to fall on me, so, so bad.

i have read the script, for - you know, some version of it. there was more than one version. i read one of them. and i have to say, i really like it. i think peter's actually really, really hilarious, in his socially inept sort of way. it's very fun. also bonus points for having it canon that flash would fuck a spider, even before spider-man was a thing.

hilarious. also! pretty obvious from the soundtrack but gg is immensely queer coded and honestly it reads as though he just wants to share a condo and adopt a dog with spider-man. you're a queer in tights? IM a queer in tights. lets be queers in tights together. it's so funny how he goes about trying to be peter's bff. most hilarious interaction between a villain and hero ever 10/10

uh-huh. uh-huh. (writes a note in my little gay notepad)

Let's learn about animals!

This furry fellow is called a bear. Bears can be most easily identified by their bright coloration, upright posture, and the unique fur pattern on their bellies.

Bears come in two known variations: type A and type B. Type A bears are known for their short, velvety fur and round features, and have been found to be quite docile and friendly, if unintelligent, creatures. However, a type A bear is still a wild animal and are not to be kept as pets, as these bears may suddenly metamorphose into their larger and more dangerous counterparts at any time.

In comparison, type B bears express a more muted coloration and can grow up to eight feet in height. Type Bs are big eaters, as well as highly territorial and aggressive to those it sees as a threat. Even before reaching their full stature on day six of their metamorphosis, the loss of saturation in their coat, which in type As is a necessary evolutionary tactic to warn off predators, shows that these bears are no pushovers.

Contrary to commonly held beliefs of the past, type A bears are not simply the young offspring, or "cubs", of type Bs. While it's true all bears start out as type As, some bears may go their entire lives without metamorphosing, while some others undergo this change very early in life. Furthermore, in tests where metamorphosed and un-metamorphosed subjects of the same species were introduced in captivity, type Bs continued to attack type As indiscriminately whether they had been previously acquainted or not, seeming not to recognize them as one of their own kind. Research is still ongoing as to just what the relationship is between these two subgroups, and what if anything triggers the change from a type A to a type B.

Bears are quite the fascinating creature, and yet they've become an increasingly common presence over the years, inhabiting woodlands all throughout the northern hemisphere. While a spike of hunting and trapping these majestic animals for their valuable pelts, as well as for ritual purposes in certain areas of North America, once threatened to thin their numbers almost to extinction, the bear's ability to reproduce asexually and yield up to six vibrant rainbow cubs in a single litter has allowed the species to persist even under the harshest conditions.

Animal Fun Fact: No two bears have the exact same set of markings, and may have evolved these strange symbols as a means of communicating amongst their kind, identifying their lineage, rank, and temperament to any other bears they come across.

Cotton Candy loves sweet things; sweet nectar from the flowers, sweet honey from the bees, sweet grass from the valley. However, she is also a bit lazy and tries to find her treats a little too close to home. Blossom's flower garden is always a tempting place to grab a snack.
