there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

see like the thing with 'carewhumpers' as a concept to me is it just like... i know this is prrrrobably not really how it's meant but something skeeves me out about the idea that kindness or caretaking mixed in with hurting someone can somehow meaningfully complicate or dilute the harm done to the point of making that character no longer a 'whumper' whereas someone doing the same 'bad' things but not ever being gentle or caring for them would just be a straight-out whumper. when like... that's how 90% of irl abuse dynamics work? so i just... don't really get the point, i guess. like to me it implies something about the 'care' provided somehow mitigating or combating the harm done that. i just do not personally appreciate or enjoy.

#gav gab #just thinking out loud #like i don't think that's 'nuance' or 'grey characters' i think that's just an extremely common and typical dynamic of abuse #someone breaking your nose and then cleaning up the blood and tucking you into bed is not less like #violent or abusive or harmful than someone who just stops at breaking your nose yk #and i think that it can successfully be summarized by any number of other ways?#carewhumper is just not useful or meaningful shorthand to me the way caretaker/whumper/whumpee are #it implies that the word 'caretaker' or 'whumper' encompasses 100% of a person's constant behaviour #in a very flattened and simplistic way #please do not come at me about this im not saying this is how everyone means it this is just #how i personally feel about it #due to the way i approach these words #and im not trying to say anyone CANT write about very typical abusive dynamics #im just saying the elements of like. 'good' behaviour or 'kind' treatment #doesn't make the Bad Part any less real or bad #the way that 'carewhumper' being set as a different or distinct thing than 'whumper' implies to me #i just feel insane whenever i see people using the term tbh like this is probably a me thing #a very stupid distinction to get hung up on #but i just. im always like isn't that just a whumper who's nice sometimes #what is the utility of this word if not to imply that #someone being nice sometimes meaningfully combats how cruel they are other times #what part of 'whumper' means they always have to be violent and awful 24/7 #and do not take this to mean caretakers are never allowed to fuck up #or do anything wrong or get frustrated #or anything like that but that is like #very distinct from being a whumper of any kind at all #like the idea that a 'whumper' can only be 100% a sadist who means to cause harm and intends to cause harm every time is like #cmon now

Broke: Damian is bad at being a Robin because he's too violent

Woke: Damian is bad at being a Robin because he's afraid to hurt people

#obviously it's always funny to do the whole 'what do u have there Damian?' 'a knife!' 'nO' thing #and like make him a horrendous and silly evil gremlin who can and will pull a sword out in the middle of a parking lot to fight #but listen #he doesn't like the assassin background that much and once he learns about like The Normal World he's honestly in anguish about it #that's canon! that's the truth! (right?) (the whole thing with Goliath?? I'm not making it up right???)#i think he's just the kind of guy who loves his swords because they're what he knows and they're a strong connection to his family #but I think it's nice if he spends his time on field telling others what to do because everyone else learned to fight the OTHER way #(by defending and subduing opponents rather than maiming and killing)#so he prefers to take on a tactician general role despite being perfectly capable as a fighter because he knows what everyone else needs #to do to succeed in fights - especially when things are a bit of a mess - but is afraid to be too rough or scary or violent or Demon Son-is #(the things that make him feel like he doesn't belong in a happy civilian world - WHICH IS WHAT HE WANTS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.)#in this essay I will explain why this allows for him to show awe and love for each of his siblings' fight styles by utilising all of them #and I just think Dami Babs and Tim could really work together as a detective/tactician comms team (with varying distances from the field)#because I think that'd be so fun: Tim is solving (mid-range) Babs is watching/providing supports (far) and Damian is commanding (close)#because the others are like The Bruisers (in their non-lethal way) who trust themselves to only hurt as much as is needed and are good at i #PLUS babs is SO stretched thin and literally the backbone of the bats so I just want a future where some of the kids become HER robins yk #anyway back to the point of the post:#it's kind of alluded to in 2017 supersons; EVERYONE in it comments on how Robin is JUST doing flips and shouting orders #and jon is like The Muscle and the one Doing Stuff - but Jon IS following orders 85% of the time and it works out well for them because #that dynamic of 'I'm not sure I can do it right by myself and I trust you to be my partner so we can do it right together' really #is my favourite like.. they're both filling these ideas of who they're meant to be and they just :( they just seek their own path together #oh no I lost the point again immediately and it became another WHY DO THEY SEPARATE THEM rant #I just think it's really fun to think of Damian as 'the most well trained fighter but ALSO the most likely to step back from a fight'#like yeah when we add in my thoughts on pit rage it adds some angst but that doesn't matter here in THIS post #have I even talked about my hc on pit rage/madness? I don't think I have LMAO (maybe another day)#anyway it's late I'm tired why do I always chat in the tags so much #my posts are literally all in the tags 2% post 98% tags smh #damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian al ghul wayne

I am here, once again, with my Ao No Flag propaganda

These two specific panels of Toma were the thing that made me think over a year ago “Man. I want to be like that too” as in KAITO drawing expression because—

The subtle shift of emotion, it’s present all throughout the manga, but this is what sold it for me. For no particular reason, it’s not even the best example, it was just what sealed the deal to me

#it’s the way his eyes open slightly in surprise when Seiya tells him that his friends refused to give an explanation when asked about #what happened in what I think is a way of them showing they care about Toma #and that surprises Toma since I believe he might have been doubtful his friends would forgive him after that #which man. idk maybe it’s because it hit home in some other things. it’s so good #Kaito handles the way the characters express themselves so good I’m always in awe anytime I reread any volume #it’s just. they feel so real in their flaws and mistakes and how they take it. for example our dear protagonist #man he is a wreck. but it’s understandable since he is going through a stage in life where he is still understanding himself!#and KAITO depicts it so nicely and lets him be awful. and let’s everyone be it too. they fuck up yes! but it’s not the end of the world #and he shows that too. how it’s okay to make mistakes but you have to owe them and grow from them not get stuck in them #it’s the little me inside of myself that was making me weep I believe #Ao no flag #blue flag #toma mita #yeah this is about volume 7 too #well i dont know it’s the way Seiya is older sibling anguish that hit me with a bat personally because 🤝. same.#and just. AAAAGGHHHH I’m going insane

Well, on the upside, Veilguard’s absolutely horrid writing and utter lack of meaningful roleplay mechanics made me appreciate Inquisition’s already watered-down writing and roleplay mechanics.

#Emmrich’s pretty much the only decent companion but my god.#This game feels like a daycare simulator.#No option but to be nice to and validate everyone even when they’re being objectively awful themselves (looking at Taash in particular)#The stakes should feel high but instead I just feel like I’m babysitting toddlers #And normally I’m a completionist who loves doing all the quests but the game actively forces you into it #You HAVE to recruit all the companions; you HAVE to baby and validate them all; you HAVE to complete all their quests #No option to even mention the supposed Dire Stakes of the universe.#The game treats you like you’re seven and over-explains everything to you. The maps are terrible even if they look good.#The voice acting for a few companions is… questionable.#For a game we waited ten years for it feels like someone’s rough/unfinished first draft.#And again no truly meaningful roleplay choices or actions.#The game just forces you to be nice to everyone. Rook feels like an inveterate spectator and an invertebrate to boot. Utterly spineless.#Every time we see a returning companion I feel like Hadvar: ‘Who… are you?’#Because they act nothing like their previously established personalities & it’s like Veilguard goes out of its way to ignore previous games #The head writer’s self-insert is painfully obvious and atrociously-written in particular #You can only be a Good Nice Guy #Maybe sometimes a Stern Nice Guy and very occasionally a Nice Guy Who Thinks He’s Funny But Isn’t #Just! My god.#I want to return the game. For the first time ever in my life.#So disappointed.#text #chey.txt

my dad and i used to sing billy joel’s piano man with each other at every family party. like not actually sing it like perform it with each other but it was on every playlist at every party and when it came on we’d stand in the middle of the room and sing all of five minutes and 38 seconds of it together. because my dad’s been the biggest billy joel fan since the dawn of time and i learned the words because it was his favorite song. anyways over the last couple of years i obviously rarely attend any family parties but when i do ive noticed that they still play piano man but he never looks for me to sing it with anymore. he’ll sing it with his cousin or his friend or my 3 year old cousin that obviously doesn’t know the words because she is literally 3 years old. and i know that this is some bizarre kind of punishment because that is who he is as a person so i try not to think about it. of course this is relevant now because on our rsvp for the wedding i (stupid) left a space for song requests and my dad did of course request piano man. and now i have to decide whether or not i want to put it on the playlist.

#al talks #on one hand i say no and i’ve been firmly no for over a year #because i will not let you emotionally torment me on MY WEDDING NIGHT #but.#on the other hand.#i’m sad because the last time i sang it with him i didn’t KNOW it would be the last time i ever sang it with him #and i KNOW that this would be. and maybe it’d be nice to have one last good memory of it.#but then i think no this is obviously emotional and psychological warfare #this is not my father suggesting the song because of all the good memories we share #it’s him making sure the song is on the playlist so he can be the center of attention at my wedding and prove to everyone #that we still have a functioning relationship and he is actually the best coolest dad ever #so.#the answer seems obvious.#but then he will say daughter why didn’t they play piano man and i cannot say well father because i think you hate me a little bit #so obviously i will lie and say oohhh that evil dj forgot to play the song i very much requested! oh no!#or he will tell everyone i am an awful evil child that clearly doesn’t love him anymore because my evil mother poisoned me and therefore #i didn’t play billy joel at my wedding #SIGH.#it’s 2 am so i must overshare obviously

people who don't normally read sci fi have such bad taste in sci fi 😭

#which makes sense because they're there despite having no attraction to what makes sci fi sci fi #but it's funny because they're always so excited to give their recommendation #and it's always like. ready player one or bobiverse or the locked tomb or something else horrendously tacky #like it's either awful marvel style quipping or something painfully twee that thinks it's deeper than it is a la Becky Chambers #and you have to try to be nice while they rave about some of the worst writing a mainstream publisher has put out #that only counts as “sci fi” bc it's in space or whatever #the other option is they like some military shit linked to a video game about how some genocide is necessary #don't get me wrong I read mostly bad sci fi and I'm aware good sci fi is rare #but it's like you had taco bell exactly once and someone's like 'any good Mexican restaurant recs in this town?'#and you just HAVE to respond with how good your dorito taco was and it's the best Mexican food #and in this scenario you don't even know enough to say “hear me out” you don't know other restaurants even exist like it's never occurred #to you to look and after that one dorito Taco you never had any interest in having Mexican food ever again #and yet. if someone is talking about Mexican food you just have to bring up you ate a Dorito taco one time and everyone should have one #how it's the best Mexican food in the world #also tumblr stop saying books are good just cuz there are lgbt people in them challenge #one time i asked for ppls fav sci fi nobody's heard of and fully half the replies were Becky fucking Chambers btw

Veilguard has me thinking Bioware have dropped any notion of grey morality and interesting dilemmas in favour of good vs bad, and you're only ever allowed to be good. Defeats the point of an rpg.

#Dragon Age #Veilguard #the Crows are nice. Isabela's crew only steal shit from 'cultures who won't miss it' lmao #Dorian's against slavery now. Will we tell you how he got there? No. He just has because media illiterate fans called him problematic #everyone is noble and flawless. Lucanis THE ASSASSIN says he only picks contracts on bad people!#BORING omg you can have characters do awful things it's called good writing Patrick

realizing maybe perhaps i love aziraphale and crowley together because truly something about how they're the only ones who can truly understand just how complex and complicated the other person is . .. you think of an angel and you think of someone who is goodhearted and sweet and nice all the way through, except crowley knows that aziraphale is just as batshit as crowley himself (the look of delight on his face when he realizes what aziraphale's done with the sword, plus crowley knowing that aziraphale will help him stop end of the world because he's just enough of a bastard to do that kind of thing) and then also you think of a demon and you think of someone who is cunning and cruel, except aziraphale looks at crowley and knows that he's actually kind and gentle and moral, when he wants to be, and something something something about how suffocating it feels to simply have a human life span and feel as though no one knows who you really are, imagine how suffocating it must be to have a practically immortal life span but then you meet someone who sees you for all of you and give me a second

#caroline talks #good omens #aziraphale and crowley both mean so much to me #and i think a lot of humans can just. relate to like. so much of it.#just like. the sheer loneliness of being told 'oh you're an awful person. you're horrific' but then meeting someone who goes #':) ha. you're so nice' and your brain freezes because wtf do you mean. what. leave me alone.#and vice versa. the sheer loneliness of being told 'oh you're so nice. you're so sweet aww' but then meeting someone who goes #'well. actually you've got three more tricks up your sleeve and it's going to drive everyone mad. isn't it.' and your brain freezes then to #because it's like. oh. someone sees me. someone recognizes me.#and it's like!!!! ough!!!#at the end of the day we all just want to be seen and understood and good omens really. delivers on that with aziraphale and crowley #that they are vastly different of course but they are also the same #and they know they are deep down the same and maybe that scares them both but also maybe that's what keeps them together.

'the final pages of the report include a few interesting details. they note that every hero at the scene explicitely said that no work study students participated in the fight against shigaraki. our part was erased from the record. that denial is the only reference to me, kacchan and todoroki in the entire document' IM SORRY? THE VILLAINS ARE RIGHT DOWN WITH HEROES. DENYING THEIR PART WHILE THEY'RE LITERALLY BEING WHEELED TO HOSPITAL UNCONSCIOUS? WHEN THE FIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT THEM? WHY DID KIDS NEED TO BE ON THE BATTLEFIELD ANYWAY AND THEN AFTERWARDS WHY ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF IT THAN THE PART THEY PLAYED? i hope you all die

#there are like two good heroes maybe #i love hawks and i wouldnt even count him in that for... obvious reasons #it's like. erasermic. and that's it #everyone else is either very obviously awful and corrupt (the HSPC and endeavour) or are way too chill with clearly immoral things #LIKE sending kids into battle and putting morality directly onto a biological power outisde of people's control at birth #like yeah the villains are fucked and killed a shit ton of people but at least theyve never pretended to be anything different #society took one look at them and said 'you do not deserve to be saved. you are a monster' and they said fuck it we ball!#they embraced their quirks and the things society crucified them for and made a league where they were accepted #and they never once pretended to be anything but what they were #GOD THIS FUCKING SHOWWWW #like i LOVE how morality and heroics is handled in mha it's so so good and nuanced #& then it's just. endeavour redemption. like what in god's name possessed horikoshi - a writer who i KNOW can handle this topic - to do tha #midoriya looking at shigaraki who just wiped out an entire fucking city: you looked like you wanted to be saved...#midoriya looking at touya who's in unimaginable amounts of physical and emotional pain at all times at the hands of his abuser #that he's had to watch for 24 years shining in the spotlight and receiving praise and adoration: idk ur dad was nice to me one time #mha #mha spoilers #hella watches anime

#Most of you don't know #I was talking about one particular person in my system #And I feel really bad about it #I needed to protect her #And I'm the one who's attacking her #Her name is cadence #And she's a fucking child #I'm so so sorry to her #But no matter how many sorries I say it's never going to make up #I shouldn't be trusted with her #I shouldn't be trusted with myself #But I'm the last person who can take care of her #So I'll apologize and we'll have a nice long talk #I'm an awful person for doing this #I fucking knew that I can't help people and that I only hurt #I'll try to not be a lost cause #I'm sorry to everyone who cares about us #You shouldn't've seen us like this #I'll be a good person I promise #I've already done too much #You all shouldn't worry #I'm so sorry to everyone #And especially sorry to my partners #You all have been too good to me #Thank you all #For everything #I'll protect her from now on #If I get a better grasp on what's happening in the system #It should be better #Thank you and I'm sorry

ooooh. we got an apartment!!!

the house isn't completely finished yet so we can't move in until April. we'll have to figure that out. but that's fine. it's in the town where my husband works! which is amazing.
