When you see the news about all of the heinous Supreme Court decisions that were just made please remember that every single one is a direct result of the fact that Donald Trump was the president from 2016-2020 and Hillary Clinton was not. And there are two conservative justices who will likely retire as soon as a second Trump term begins so he can appoint younger people and enshrine conservatism on the court for another 50+ years. So. Please vote. It will at least give us a fighting chance to get our rights back sooner

Thinking very hard about an AU idea of mine. Reluctant king Sabo AU!
In which Sabo isn’t saved by Dragon, but survives long enough to drift ashore and be saved by the doctors of Goa Kingdom, who do so only to ransom his medical bills from Sabo’s parents. Sabo’s parents take him back, thinking that his amnesia makes him a clean slate, but Sabo, young and stubborn and unsure of his entire identity, knows that everything is wrong and runs again, and again, and again.
Until at some point, he meets the Revolutionaries, and realizes that he can be useful to them, provide them information, make something good of an inescapable situation. From then on, he starts acting the noble that he was born as, in order to be a more useful informant to the Revolutionaries, until sunk cost fallacy hits and he believes that being a noble is the only way that he can be useful to the Revolutionaries. So at that point, why not take it all the way?
At 17, Sabo becomes one of Princess Sarie’s suitors, and at 17, he has doubts about using the princess for his own goals. Sarie is a romantic, and she wants a dramatic fairy tale of a romance, and she was already charmed, but the moment Sabo opens up to her about not wanting to use her to get to the throne, having lofty ambitions of helping the people (just not the people she thinks he’s talking about), Sabo becomes the one she simply must marry, because surely if she tries hard enough, she can make him love her back.
Soon after, the king and his son die. Sarie’s father and brother die. And while Sabo conveniently ascends to the throne, he also swiftly implicates his father, Outlook, in the assassination of all heirs to the throne, resulting in Outlook’s arrest and subsequent execution. And thus, at 18, Sabo becomes king, and begins to gradually institute great changes to Goa Kingdom.
Design-wise, Sabo wears an eyepatch because his damaged eye is considered a grotesque sight by nobles’ standards. Under the eyepatch, he wears heavy makeup to hide the burn scar. These are both at the behest of his birth parents, who spin a story about Sabo having been born half blind to hide the fact that Sabo had been shot by a Celestial Dragon and save face. To those who have seen his scar, they fabricate a second secret story that he was unfortunately kidnapped as a child. Sabo never does find out, until he regains his memories, where the burn scar is actually from.
#one piece#sabo#one piece au#king sabo au#I might write something for this#I have a lot of ideas for it#I love au’s where sabo helps the revolution while not being actually a member of the revolutionary army#but I very rarely see ones that I like#I am going to oc-ify sarie so much.#i think sabo would hate being king. I think he hates everything about the situation he is in#but I also think that in the wake of forgetting himself he needs some connection to cling onto#even if that connection is the extremely inspiring stranger that barely knows him but is proud of him for helping#namely dragon.#I’m still unsure where to put stelly in all of this#I think stelly gets extremely bitter when sabo starts surpassing him in everything#because he was supposed to be the successful replacement of a son#im also debating whether or not I want sabo to remember his memories before or after marineford#because the moment he regains his memories is very clear to me. I want garp to see him at the reverie and punch him.#but I don’t know if I want that to happen earlier or later

i LOVE dream talk its my favorite conversation topic ever. whenever someone starts a sentence with "last night i had a dream" i am tuned in and listening. tell me everything i will never get bored of hearing the shit that happens in your dreams
#i love dreams... someone come tell me about the dream they had last night#last night i had a dream where i was getting ready for a presidential debate with trump#and i was really unprepared but it didn’t matter because it was against trump who also doesn’t know anything#and my campaign team kept trying to put me in makeup and telling me i had to look pretty#and i kept saying no i don’t want to be pretty i want to be president#then the debate was about to start and i kept fucking things up but the newscasters thought it was a power move#then i woke up before we actually debated#also the debate was in a random gym and random people i knew kept showing up#like my old youth pastor#also one of my friends was trumps vp for some reason and he wouldn’t shake my hand#he pretended to go in for the handshake then pulled it away. rude

hot take, heavily penalizing teenagers for causing each other head injuries, even unintentionally, is good, actually, and the nhl could stand to take a page from the iihf book on the way that standard is upheld (for all ages).
“how are you gonna prepare them for the nhl if the rules are different?!” this is not an nhl run event. this is not the george parros department of player safety or the gary bettman league. this is not the ‘nhl prospect practice and preparation tournament’, this is the world junior hockey championship. it is its own entity unto itself and for its own ends, it is not just a stepping stone for your favourite budding superstars to gain prestige and fanfare before they move on to the only “big league” that north american hockey fans consider significant or meaningful. it plays a larger role in the development of not only players, but also of entire hockey training programs in countries where hockey, even men’s hockey, is an under-funded or less established sport.
not all of these kids are going to go on to be nhl players. ALL of them should get the chance to grow up to be adults who don’t have their quality of life degraded by lingering head injuries and cte.
miss me with your tough guy bullshit. good grief.
#if you start being dumb on this post I will turn reblogs off#i coach a sport where we’ve also had to wrestle with increased awareness of head injuries#and how that changes our procedures and gear#I was an athlete in our no-helmet era and I am a coach in our helmet era now. I have seen both sides#I have sat at the center and in both sides of the helmet debate within my own sport. I have taken the education modules.#I have seen my friends get severe concussions right in front of me as a teen and the effects of that#I have sat watch on a concussed child as an adult. waking her every three hours. to make sure *she could still wake up*#every head strike is a potentially irreversible injury. brain cells don’t grow back no matter how macho you are. get a fucking grip.#world junior hockey championship#world juniors

People Loki canonically had A Thing™️ with (according to me):
-Sif (the series composer lowkey confirmed they had a night together before the hair cutting incident)
-Fandral (we all saw what we saw in T1)
-Theo Bell (I consider LWML to be partially canon & Loki having a thing with a human guy who he left on earth & was probably dead by the time he came back… definitely vibes w Loki’s attitude toward mortal lifespans in the movies.)
-The Grandmaster (no way he got out of gladiatorial slave duty just by telling jokes, plus the winky scene like come on now)
-the flight attendant from 1x1 (they were feeling each other so hard. & he told her he’d see her again)
-Lorelei (best one on the list tbh. She escaped using his secret pathways. She’s an enchantress that’s not his multiversal twin & is actually rly interesting. It’s all there.)
-Amora (also from LWML. Yes she’s probably Lorelei’s sister. No idgaf. Sleeping with an ex situationship’s sister isn’t exactly smth I’d put past him)
-Sigurd (he doesn’t exist in the mcu but the chemistry in AoA was so strong it’s transcended mediums. He’s Loki’s ex in the mcu, they just haven’t mentioned him yet shhhh)
#also: you can fight me if you want but it’s canon that he had the hots for Jane briefly#it’s also canon that he has a lust/disgust crush on Steve I don’t make the rules#he didn’t date them or sleep with them tho so that’s why they’re just honroable mentions#also none of these were actually RELATIONSHIP relationships so they don’t contradict his ‘I’ve never had anything rly real’ line in the show#the flight attendant was just a one time thing#the grandmaster was a transactional relationship#Fandral lorelei and Sigurd were just fuck buddies#and the romances with Sif Theo and amora all kinda crashed and burned before they had time to get started good so :/#also also: as much as I despise s*lvie & s*lki they absolutely did have a brief romantic connection in canon#like that’s just.. not debatable#dashingfrost#fandroki#lokimora#amoraloki#loki x amora#sifki#loki x the flight attendant from episode 1 who down to bone an active terrorist#loki x flight attendant#loki x lorelei#mcu lorelei#loki x Sigurd#frostmaster#Sigurd#the grandmaster#amora#Theo bell#loki where mischief lies#lady sif#loki series#loki season 2

Rhys Darby reading about a pirate who was conned and betrayed by Blackbeard: what if they were together though
#It’s weird#i love it tho#I haven’t started season 2 but up to this point it’s been super accurate#i mean we have no way of knowing if stede was queer or not#And the love story is debateable#But nothing is too derivative#It’s really interesting how it recontextualizes all of it#But#In history after the act of grace stede and ed never meet again#Blackbeard leaves steals all his shit and then fucks off#So I’m really excited to see what’ll happen in season 2#No spoilers please#The finale destroyed me#But they’ll get back together right??🥺#Don’t answer that#ofmd#our flag means death#stede bonnet#edward teach#the gentleman pirate#blackbeard#P-14f

I’m still reeling from the impact Helene left around here. I didn’t want to think the rumors and stuff were true, but hearing it from people I know and trust irl and seeing footage of stuff around areas I’m familiar with has left me devastated and extremely upset about everything.
It hit me hard once the rain stopped and I went into town. It hit me even harder once my internet and cell service stabilized and I saw all the news.
I’m really struggling to process stuff right now. I probably will be for a long time until some normalcy gets restored around here. I count myself blessed Helene didn’t hurt me or my loved ones, but it hurt my community and is continuing to do so and that’s just not okay at all.
I’m burnt out about the news but can’t escape it cause it’s here in my neighborhood happening and being discussed and updated daily. I hope people stop wishing ill on folks. It’s awful and it sickens me the responses I’ve seen from the media and the web from some people.
Just stop.
We’re hurting and it doesn’t matter how prepared you think we were, it was unavoidable. Where do you suggest people should’ve gone when even the highest mountain couldn’t avoid the flooding? I’m lucky to have a decent internet signal on the best days where I live. Imagine everyone else around me who doesn’t have any connection to the world except though maybe radio or a landline?
It’s not like we’re stupid. Just stop assuming things. What we need is help, aid, and general support and awareness.
I don’t mean to monologue here. I’m still grieving over the devastation and that takes time.
I’m just so sick of seeing people acting like they know better about the disaster. It’s way way more intricate than you think.
#hurricane helene#appalachia#life update#I’m not doing so hot atm#I’ll be better once some normalcy occurs#it’s kind of stifled my already limited motivation atm#imma eventually get back into a groove here#but for now I’m just trying to keep moving forward#won’t get political on here#but damn did this disaster start some shit#y’all are welcome to message me here or whatevs#I don’t bite#just dealing with some heavy stuff rn#also just yeah…#not trying to start fights#not up to debate either#like I know the topics#I’m here living it#so not gonna argue#but feel free to just reach out to people?#yeah#imma shut up now#it late#shut up sky

remembering on my circa 2017 booklr I used to tell people to read Gemma Doyle by describing it as trc but with an all girls boarding school / all girl group in a historical setting… I was trying to do the lord’s work she deserved tumblr fame
#I do think that was an oversimplification of both but. Not totally off base there are some similar char tropes used I’m proud of past me for#the attempt. Also I think I’m going to start advocating for Diviners in that way now that trc fandom is apparently quite miserable post GW#you like gay people doing dream magic? you like witchcraft and ghosts and strong ensemble casts?#you like an ambitious abuse survivor getting a healing arc with learning to control magic/psychic abilities as a metaphor? you like four#book series where the first three books rock and the last book which is named king + corvid is a bit underwhelm who said that?#a positive point in diviners favor is Ling x Wei Mei >>>> RonanKavinsky. Generally find the take on dream magic in diviners more compelling#(although LingHenry + RonanHennessy both being mlm wlw duos who are the dreamers is kinda fun)#anyway. This is not actually a fair comparison because Ling is my fav or at least top two w Theta of the leads and I love Ronan but he is m#least favorite of the trc leads of which there are four all of whom I love so it says nothing bad about him. But it does put me as an#outlier re: fandom priorities..#on the flip side while I love diviners dynamics sadly I don’t think they ever come anywhere close to Gangsey levels of extreme codependency#so I can not care quite as much….#from what I remember the girls in Gemma Doyle are a lot more codependent good for them. Would have to reread to compare codependency levels#Ling and Theta are both my favorite in diviners in the same way Blue and Adam are my favorite in trc and Abed and Annie are both my fav for#community. basically one char who I love and overidentify with (Ling/Blue/Abed) and one char I love who in many ways I’m not like#but in a handful of very niche specific ways I also relate quite a bit. And am fascinated with (Theta/Adam/Annie)#s speaks#very off topic from my initial point which was you should read Libba Bray’s books#and in both cases I have a second and a half tier fav (Evie/Gansey/Britta) who I love fictionally but if I was trapped in a room w them I’d#kill myself. with the white blonde women I’d also want to make out w them debatable if that makes it better or worse#but like. I could not stand listening to them speak for that long I know this#Gansey might just die a third time by my hands…

UHM. UH. More messy rushed doodle collection from today. I will not confess to anything my mouth is sealed shut. Most of it is mindless fun; nothing to do with brainstorming storylines or being worried about staying canonical to how his character is typically presented. Head empty no thoughts since I desperately needed a break from animating again

Cannot believe these two GOONS were arguing about who is the better golfer while the Supreme Court ruled that cities can arrest/punish the homeless for sleeping in public (essentially making homelessness illegal???) not to mention the other insane shit they’ve done this past week.
My mind is boggled. I can’t even comprehend this. As someone with a history and political science degree, my skin feels like it’s melting. WTF is actually going on.
This is your friendly reminder to vote third party. Or if not, remember you are voting for an administration and not just one person. Project 2025 is horrible and will ruin our country, and it will happen under Trump.
#us presidential debate#that shit was wild#this country is a joke#don’t even get me started on Trump using Palestinian as a slur#why do I have to choose between two fascist people actively promoting genocide

Okay very specific robot ramble time:
As I said in my last post I started casshern and I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile but only been pushed back as I was watching Bravern in a group. I *could* have watched casshern on my own but I have a hard time watching two things at once even if one is with a group lol, but that aside, I was thinking about one particular weird thing about my preferences when it came to sentient robots- or sentient mechas in particular.
I found it weird how I love it when robots have sentience but when mechas tackle this approach, I don’t really feel anything. But what I realized is while Android anime can be counted under sentient mecha-especially for well simplification-the genre of “a human shape robot with sentience” and “a mecha with sentience” usually take a very different approach.
I specifically LOVE robots with personalities for the character development of them becoming more human, which is what I feel is absent in most mecha where the robot is sentient. I only know Brave police tackles this subject matter-but I have no idea when I’ll get to that-and I am overall not a expert on Brave, nor have I seen much transformers besides bits so this subject could’ve also been tackled in some iterations, but given a lot of it + Bravern follows “the robots are alien” it seems this introspection is merely nonexistent.
It’s likely due to the fact the robots are already characterized to be similar to humans that they don’t have this existentialism of needing to fit in when humans are either something they don’t understand or flat out want to erase, but it is a shame how most mechas when it’s a giant robot that talks doesn’t actually *tackle* the aspect of “if the robot itself wanted to be human and not just a tool for humanity”
I think it’s why despite me usually liking a robot with a personality, I prefer mechas lacking one. They can be sentient but not speak. Like how getter and big o does it it intrigues me more because it feels like this giant force which to me makes up for the fact the robot having no personality, but also, if when the robot DOES have a personality and these themes are explored, it just feels- odd to me? Like it’s still cool to see giant talking robots to spice things up, I’m not saying sentient mecha is bad because most doesn’t do what I like out of Android tropes, but it doesn’t appeal to me.
I do wanna give a brave a chance and I should at least finish one TF show at some point, but yeah. My preferences are fucking weird LOL.
(TLDR: I like when the human robots develop to become more human, but when the mechas have human personalities they don’t get the same growth, so I’m just fine when they lack personality)
#meg text#mecha rambles#I swear I gotta be the pickiest person to ever exist even if I’m respectful about it#like idk why my brain works since even explaining this sounds overly complicated#But this is just what I realize after the show I just watched and the show I just started#If anyone does know of any like- mechas where the robot goes through a lot of existential shit lmk tho#I am always open to hear about shit even if it’ll take me awhile to get too lol#but for now I’m gonna stick to my tiny robots having sentience and my big robots debatably having them#(also for once I don’t flood the sub tags with a lot of shit cause idk what else to put here)

kinda miss when i was just a casual dragon age enjoyer because now i can’t enjoy the temple of mythal the same way i could before. now i’m just irritated at morrigan and irritated at the writers making a dalish inquisitor know literally nothing about their own culture and irritated at the people who insist that inquisition is “catered towards” a dalish pc when that’s not true at all like could not be further than the truth. i love it in theory but it’s also lowkey the bane of my existence
#i love dragon age so much i wish it was good#like solas and morrigan’s back and forth isn’t even funny anymore i just get annoyed 😭#don’t get me started about the debate(?) for lack of a better term of how it should’ve been merrill guiding you through the temple#which i agree with and it’s all i think about every time i play#that’s a whole other can of worms i think i’ve posted about it before#.txt
