whenever right wing people talk about “parental rights” they are talking about property rights. they are arguing for further political and legal enshrinement of their children as their literal actual property

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

Okay so actual ST thought I had today was a Human having to babysit for their Vulcan friend because an emergency came up, and their friend gave them a contact for any concerns since they’d be unreachable for awhile

And so the Human calls them for the first time with a list of small concerns (i.e., this is what I’ve been feeding the kid, is this a balanced diet? they’re running low on the only incense they use, where do I reorder it? etc) expecting an elderly retired relative or someone else who’d be free to answer questions like that

And instead gets like. a fucking captain. of a starship. in the middle of their shift.

And it’s just so embarrassing for them to be interrupting a captain with non-emergency questions, but the captain is taking all their concerns seriously, and the little Vulcan kid is doing the Vulcan version of excitedly trying to interrupt their video call to talk to a familiar person

Aang is better than me when it comes to Zuko in that one scene because Zuko, who while he may be my friend, he is also, not only, from the Fire Nation (a place that directly played/plays a role in disrespecting Aang's culture) but also a prince, the son of the man trying to kill him [Aang] and the grandson of the man who is responsible for killing and wiping out my culture. While some of those things aren't Zuko's fault, he does still project their system and doesn't shy away from mocking Aang's culture and pacifism to his face, something that he should be one of the LAST people to do. If I were Aang, Zuko and I would have had to take a walk outside, because ain't no way you're getting away with that.

After that whole mess, they, of course, go back to FFM. Both because the cubs had a long day and needed a nap and also because neither Wukong nor MK had the energy to reset their glamours, and the last thing any of them wanted was to be swarmed. Wukong had to be stopped form going into a cleaning spree as soon as he realized he was having guests over for the first time in years and had to be told to sit down since, out of everyone there, be had been the one in the worst condition when all was said and done. They still enjoyed their smaller, more private New Years celebration and getting to run around in MK's childhood home

referencing.

Absolutely. Wukong is taking all the cubs home for a well-deserved rest (the eclipse twins argue that they aren't tired [lie]), and to properly introduce himself to the Noodle shop gang/aka his reincarnated Pilgrim brothers.

Wukong is a dedciated King to his people, but hasn't really let people "get close" since the Samadhi Fire incident/DBK's imprisonment. So he's a little rusty on how to play host in his own palace. The Stalwarts and the island's subjects are worried since they noticed some sort of havoc going on in the mainland while their King was gone, but Wukong brushes them off.

When Wukong attempts to clean up and play host, Pigsy quickly makes him sit down since; "You're pregnant and nearly got all your magic drained out of you. I'll make dinner." Which immediately puts the pig in the monkeys' good graces. Wukong does have to admit, piglet's grandson makes amazing noodle soup.

Mei (+MK) helps Pigsy out in the kitchen, and Wukong has a pang of nostalgia and grief at how similar the little dragon looks to Ao Lie. Her fun-loving attitude quickly gains her fans amongst the cubs, even if they try to eat her phone once or twice.

Lots of talking happens - especially on the subject of MK being Wukong's eldest cub + who exactly "dad" is. Wukong is still a little too upset at Macaque to give more than a curt explaination that he left on "a vacation" and has been missing since then.

Pigsy blurts out that he'll; "Sock the punk in the nose the second he sees 'em for leaving his family like that". It gets a laugh out of the king at least. Gao Cuilan did the same to Bajie when he finally returned after the journey.

Tang is ofc in Jttw-nerd heaven. Asking so many questions that MK has to interupt him to give his mom some space. The Stalwarts happily fill in the more embarassing/sappy details of their King and Warrior's romance, which delights the scholar (and mortifies SWK and MK) to no end.

Sandy is quickly the cubs favorite new uncle - though that could be because he smells like old uncle Sha Wujing. The Eclipse Twins are sus though. He makes himself busy serving up tea and addressing any emotional issues Wukong could be going through rn, especially with another little monkey on the way. Wukong is touched.

The Demon Bull Family makes an appearance - mainly to offer their apologies and for DBK to start making amends with his little bro. DBK quickly gets swarmed by the cubs he missed out on meeting, bellowing with laughter as they climb all over his horns. PIF is very aloof as per usual, but expresses her condolences for Macaque's disappearance. Wukong can tell that the former celestial princess is worried about her old friend, even if she doesn't care to show it.

Red Son is super confused, holding a casserole dish of non-spicy barbeque (DBK uncharacterically insisted, apparently the Monkey King hated spicy food), and just blinking at the fact that the "Noodle Boy" and "Pony Girl" he'd been fighting with were actually his calf-hood chums! Yuebei tries to eat his hair the moment he's offered to hold one of the Nodelets for the first time.

Overall the New Years "afterparty" (as Mei dubbed it) goes far better than the original celebration. Even if MK is super-grounded for not telling Wukong he became a superhero + lying who he actually was to the gang.

+Bonus: I love the idea of the cubs being super cranky during the events in the Celestial Realm. And when the spider gang attempt to stop the gang on the airship; little Yuebei starts shrieking with anger over her lack of sleep + missing both parents, and blasts them away with her non-fatal lazer eyes. It's one of many signs that MK's family aren't normal demons. Hunstman is a little embarassed that he was technically defeated by a baby.

There's this weird phenomenon where the people who are really, really invested in Campaign 3 being The Best try to argue that it's the most closely bonded party. when in fact the absolute strongest material with Bells Hells thus far is them realizing with a shock that they've spent almost three months alternating between "my way or the highway" and smoothing things over to the point that they almost shatter along with Ashton and realize that they absolutely cannot go on a time-sensitive, mission-critical journey to save the world without stopping to take a team-bonding vacation.

And to be clear, this rips, but it feels as though while Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 fans might disagree on their favorite campaigns, they do like their campaigns for what they actually are and simply have different preferences with regards to what kind of story they like. This particular flavor of Campaign 3 fans, and there's a decent number of them, only care about winning on the most kindergarten-ass "all you need is love 🥺" axis (also, shades of the bean-counting/points approach to media analysis) but as a result they put forward an idea of the campaign that's simply not the reality and it's like, do you like Campaign 3? Or do you like the fanfiction version of it you wrote in your head based on the first 10 episodes and into which you have slowly dissolved your brain? There's plenty of valid reasons to enjoy or even prefer the campaign, but it's easily the most dysfunctional party and that's fine!

Hiçbir şeyi becerememişlik hissi bazen çok ağır basıyor. Başladığım hangi işte başarılı oldum ki? Diye düşünüyorum ve galiba bu kendime yaptığım en büyük kötülük. Çünkü sürekli başkalarının istediği şeylerde başarılı olmak için çabalıyorum, geriye kalan vakitte ise dinlenmeyip kendi hayalimin peşinde koşmaya çalışıyorum ama olmuyor. Bu kadar fazla işin, beklentinin içinde hangisinde yetişebilirim ki? Koşmayı bırakırsam herşey elimden kayıp gidecek ama yemin ederim ki artık koşacak ayaklara sahip değilim.

Bu bir intihar psikolojisi değil. Hayır, hayır sakın bunu yalnızca psikoloji sanmayın. Çünkü bu, annemin benden beklediği hamarat bir genç kızlık olma telaşının yorgunluğu, babamın benden beklediği başarılı bir akademik hayat için çabalamanın zorluğu, kardeşlerimin benden beklediği fakat benim bile tanımadığım koruma ve ilgi duygusunu verememin utancı, öğretmenlerin üzerimde yarattığı stres, arkadaşlarım olsun diye insanların görmezden geldiğim hatalarının oluşturduğu yük, kendimi herkese sevdirmek zorunda hissettiren bu eziklik duygusu ve içimdeki kız çocuğunun her gece yatağa dökülen göz yaşlarının artık kana dönüşmesiyle, yara izi dolan vücudumun acısı.

Belki de tembellikten uyumuyorumdur anne?

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."
