#don't let no man hurt you

[uncanny-tranny]

To my fellow US Americans: If you are planning on arming yourselves because of the election results and what might be on the horizons, I urge you to be a responsible gun owner.

Take as many classes as you can. Get certified in gun safety, even if it's not required to own a gun in your state. Get a gun safe. A good gun safe. Lock your gun up. Don't leave it armed. Don't wave your guns or gun-owning status around and don't pose with guns like they're toys. I'd say not to make gun buying an impulse purchase, either. You are investing in something that holds great potential risk to yourself and others - treat it like a responsibility.

I'm not here to argue about if Americans ought to exercise the second amendment in the way it currently exists. That's not the point - we have always had the second amendment, and I doubt it's going anywhere. I am more interested in making sure we don't see a surge in accidental, negligent gun ownership.

As a queer person in the US, I can understand the mindset behind people's spiked interest in arming themselves. I'm not arguing against that. As a child of gun owners, I know just how huge a responsibility it is to own a gun, and I hate the general attitude we Americans have about guns. Please don't contribute to that. If you own a gun, it is you inherent responsibility to take care of that gun (which is why I can't own a gun yet - I don't have the resources to pour into proper ownership).

what are your fave headcanons for dinluke sparring??

I think they would kind of overdo it and it would end up seemingly like a real fight with real stakes until one of them either gets hurt or pulls back. and whichever it is both of them would still be like damn...that was pretty hot and I want more oop

feeling completely insane about The Author And His Protagonist™️ this morning and now I'm thinking about bingqiu too, and like. Airplane of course wrote Luo Binghe to be everything he wasn't, this cool and powerful stallion protagonist. And he also wrote him to be what the readers wanted, especially as time went on. But there's bit of himself embedded in Binghe -- his insecurities, his fear of abandonment, his loneliness, his hunger for love. Those vulnerabilities are hidden away under layers of strength and stallion badassery in PIDW, but for Bingmei, they're laid bare and ratcheted up to eleven

And then Shen Yuan. He of course loved Luo Binghe The Protagonist™️ but he fell in love with Luo Binghe, the real person with insecurities and fears and strange ugly edges to his personality. He saw this carnival mirror reflection of Airplane's flaws, and he wanted nothing more than to wrap Binghe up and love him and care for him and soothe those insecurities

If I was Airplane, bingqiu would be like therapy for me

you just made the scientific discovery of the century & you want to tell everyone & your kids are first on that list but you can't find them. you manage to get a hold of your daughter & she says everything is fine but her voice gets tight when you try to mention your work & she sucks in a breath & says she won't keep you from it any longer than she already has & doesn't say bye as she hangs up the phone. you have a sinking feeling in your gut & you really want to get back to what you were doing but. something's wrong. where are your kids. why was your daughter not surprised when you told her. why was she so quick to hang up on you. your husband has the same type of mind & that's probably why neither of you can ignore this odd turn of events & so you decide to track them down. the research can wait. after all, the spook got away somehow afterwards. it's not like you have anything to go through but data & recordings.

Truly from the depths of my struggling heart. Viva La Vida by Coldplay belongs to one Toshinori Yagi aka the one and only All Might.

Coldplay should just sign over the rights of the song at this point promptly too.

Fuck I hate being an adult. I need a more adult adult to help with the volatile emotional situation.

you know, there is a case to be said that the "this is what decolonization looks like" mentality can be used to justify everything the Jewish community did since the 19th century to stabilize itself in the region and what the Israel has done since it's founding. and I mean everything, the good, the bad and the horrors.

It will even justify the Right wing nut jobs that want to expel all Palestinians from the region.

thinking of it, this is the exact same mentality.

just going about my day idly contemplating how some of the ways hawke can interact with a romanced anders are not at all unlike how they interact with leandra (and a bit of carver too, especially with a purple hawke), and then thought about my hawke in the timeline where he romances anders and was hit straight in the face with 'was he ever actually in love, or was he just desperately trying to renegotiate with his mother's ghost in any way he could' and now i need to lie down. this is the power of dragon age 2

Random Emi & Jamemi scenes, part 3

You can find more information on my yuusona Emi and her relationship with Jamil here on the masterlist.

Knowing Emi's circles, I suspect Jamil's gonna end up hearing a few different variations of "you'd better treat her well".

Like, Trey's not gonna say as much, I'd imagine, but I feel like already with how Jamil tends to read between the lines, he'd get the idea well enough.

ADeuce and Grim, definitely being aware of the events of book 4, would be giving Emi some variations of "tell us if he does anything". And I'm sure Grim especially wouldn't hesitate to tell Jamil off, either.

(Plus Ian's comic is always applicable for these situations. There'd be so much ribbing from them to Emi - yet another reason for her to confide more in Trey instead. But I digress.)

My favorite is to think of Malleus, though. Like y'all know that platonic bestie Hornton post?

I'm definitely thinking of Jamil just, minding his own business, trying to figure out what to make for dinner or something.

And suddenly there's a voice calling out "Viper," and Jamil realizes he's not alone (and is having a heart attack for several reasons all at once).

“I hear you have caught the affection of our dear Prefect. Do make sure to treat her kindly, won’t you?”

Even unsaid, the 'or else' is painfully obvious.

Poor Jamil's gonna have a crisis at this point, isn't he? ADeuce, Grim, even Trey, whatever, he can deal with those. Not like he's planning anything untoward anyway.

But how did he get on Malleus Draconia's radar?

With Jamil’s morals being quite a bit more flexible than Emi’s are, I feel like it’s kinda inevitable that they’re gonna crash about it at some point and end up having a proper fight. Maybe during Emi's second year? Idk exactly, but sometime after they've started dating, anyway.

Like, Jamil's going to do something that Emi doesn't approve of - it doesn't even have to be directed at her, just something she witnesses or hears about.

And there's Emi, struggling to reconcile this with her image of Jamil. Disappointed, even worried, that Jamil would actually do such a thing. Yeah, sure, book 4 was a thing, but that was dire circumstances and Jamil pushed to his breaking point, but this... And suddenly, she’s not so sure about him (and about choosing him) as she has been, trying to figure out if this is something she can let slide or not.

But also Jamil, spurned by the person who he thought understood him and cared for him. It hurts. He's having his own doubts, lashing out for having the rug pulled out from him like this. He was just being himself, like Emi's been telling him to be, but suddenly it's not acceptable after all?

So, fun times and totally easy conversations all around 🙃

It'll be their first proper falling out (well, second if we're counting book 4), and it sure won't be an easy time for either of them.

If anyone else would like to be tagged for Emi/jamemi things, just let me know!
