“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”

1984 George Orwell

Trump was dangerous as president the first time, now he would be extremely dangerous. There are Tory MPs who say they would vote for Trump, they are fools or liars, probably both.

Hey!! I hope you dont mind, but your reverse time travel au inspired me to draw these :)

If i end up making more (which is very likely) i'll be sure to send them too! Hope you have a wonderful timezone and take care! <3<3<3<3

@itsybitsybatsyspider THIS IS EVERYTHING. THE SHIRTS. THE EVERYTHING. HAHAH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ART??? IT MADE MY DAY. And the next two that followed. You gave me so many ideas in so little time. I wanted to draw something in response-

Hiccup, in the future, away from everything he's ever known, managing an absurd amount of new information everywhere all at once and tinkering around to help himself process: Jack: ...I can work with that. Jack, with no money because technically he doesn't exist: Okay that's going to complicate things.

I find it deeply depressing that every adult in Spider's life had children, yet he was never anyone's priority. every adult he could and most likely attempted to match in to. the adults he remembered as the closest things he had to parents since birth (Jake and Norm, even if they weren't acting as his parents, because Spider, genuinely, would not know better). down to his actual foster family (the McCoskers). essentially went out of their way to de-prioritize him.

like I'm not faulting them for having kids, for having a family. but Spider was their first priority. he didn't need to be adopted by any of them, per say, but he was their responsibility. he was their orphan, Jake especially, considering he was the chief of his people, but Norm as well, seeing as he's a prominent figure head of the clan/Hellsgate.

the McCoskers took him in, but over the years, as they had their own children, he was more and more neglected. he was now no longer his actually appointed guardians priority. and that only gets worse and worse as he ages until they become outright abusive (Nash does anyway, cause thats what I'm gonna call violently kidnapping his, throwing him in a room and locking him there, and trying to kill all of them, him included, when they run away. as abuse. and I'll get back to the whole "you have to turn yourself in to the RDA" x2 speech from Jake in a second). they also didn't really accept his culture. with their resentment towards the Na'vi brewing, Spider most definitely faced some heat for being more of the forest than of humans, in terms of culture.

3 times over, Spider came first and was put last. put last by parents who know damn well how much love, time, care, and attention a child needs. who should be able to see when a kid is being neglected. who dialed to advocate and protect him from neglect (instead of calling him a stray).

he was a child and they were his advocates. all three parties failed in their duty as advocates, to protect Spider. to ensure he always had a loving home that made him their priority. that fulfilled all his needs, not just the physical ones. but all put their own families first, and abandoned Spider to the scraps of their love, time, and affection.

imagine being Spider, an orphan who can't even mention his birth parents and is always treated like he is the physical rebirth of his father's sins by half the people around him. every adult in your life has kids and seems like they're such a good parent. you watch their kids being loved and tended to and having a steady home. they receive love and affection constantly. but your fosters pay less and less attention to you as they have babies. and now your a stray to the man you look up to so much. and the man who probably taught you how to put an exopack on has less and less time for you. no one has time for you. you're no one's child. no one's priority. just a stray. a nuisance. and you don't truly belong anywhere.

no one was putting him first. children need to be someone's priority. psychology. they need it.

and then the RDA returns. the McCoskers leave, Spider is expected to leave everything he has ever known, to join the very people he hates and has been trying so hard since he could understand what it meant, to prove that he wasn't like them. Jake, the man he once looked up to, was telling him to leave. sending him away. stripping him of the little amount of family he could somewhatly claim, that being his siblings.

once again, Jake is his chief, should be looking out for him. not even as a father, per say, but as his duty to Spider as his chief. a chief should never be sending away his most vulnerable ward, a child he should consider his own (as all of his clans children should be one with his own children), to the opposing enemy force.

this happens again when they're running away, Jake tells him ever more directly to hide in the forest alone until the RDA stops shooting at everything that moves and then turn himself in so he can his own children could run. once again, putting him last, instead of protecting all of them.

then for a year, Spider has no family. no one. the McCoskers are gone and no one has stepped up to bat for him. he's 15/16 and alone. his the big sibling to the Sully's. those kids are all he has, but they aren't really looking out for him. he's looking out for them. cause he's the oldest. that's just how it is. he is one with the clan. lives with them. does chores. watches out for his siblings, the whole nine. but Jake isn't doing his duty of watching out for his ward. he is once again giving and giving and giving, and not receiving.

and then he is taken, he is taken, and while Jake may not have had the means to go back for Spider, or been able to take the risk of going back for him, he abandons him without a thought for his safety, and puts his children first. it's the language and attitude be poses towards the situation that is wild to me. he has every right to be worried about his children, but he could not spare Spider an ounce of concern, even knowing the danger he was in, and is more concerned about him spilling details then anything else. Spider is, once again, not his first, second, or even third priority. he is a means to an end. a necessary loss.

people only care about Spider when there's nothing else they can put before him.

Look I’m not going to go out of my way to go to bat for Dafeng on webbed sites because I’m sure it has plenty of defenders, but the amount of people that are mad that the show is a comedy because they expected it to be a ‘serious wuxia’ is wild.

The trailers never once hid that it was a comedy.

This is the first trailer. There is a dance number ten seconds into it. The other trailers are like this too.

If comedy wuxia isn’t your bag obviously that’s fine, but acting like you were tricked is nuts when it was… marketed as exactly that.

[cakesmelons]

I want more young Dream and Nightmare teasing each other and being playful. I want more of them acting like that. Where they just tease the fuck out of the other.

I wanted to draw more but it's 2 am 😔

Anyway here's some of the shit I feel like they've said to each other :

"Wow brother, couldn't even catch a simple squirrel?"

"Poison Ivy? I thought you knew this forest like the back of your hand? Must've been looking at that poison ivy on your hand."

"How could you fall out a tree?! We climb them all the time!"

[wip] "It's No Longer You, Cayde"

CONTEXT: this scene takes place pre-Forsaken, and the horned Exo is one of my ocs Paradox-9, a Thanatonaut Titan who managed to get a hold of Future War Cult Vex tech. So, combining those together allows them to get into a state where he can see the past and future bleeding together

(note: I still haven't done Excision! Pls no spoilers!)

An anti-AA account posted a comment akin to "I'm tired of the fandom being taken over by sex pests who are obsessed with abusive relationships" in response to the AA kisses being optimized for evil route roleplayers. They were implying that we "bullied" Larian into "changing the narrative they created". (which is a whole other rant post on its own lol). And some others agreed.

Is... is this really how they see us? lmao

I am just baffled because so many loud Anti-AA people are:

constantly going on and on about how it's supposed to be an abusive relationship

constantly reminding AA fans of all the abuse AA supposedly does

writing fanfiction and drawing comics showcasing AA as an abusive partner to Tav/Durge

making absolute statements that AA is locked out of healing and only able to treat Tav abusively

making absolute statements that everything good AA says is narcissistic lovebombing and only everything bad he says (after Tav insults him) is to be taken as truth

only ascending him to get AA romance scene screenshots (with an "I hate AA but..." disclaimer usually attached).

thirsting after AA's romance scenes in general while condemning actually playing/enjoying the ending as a whole because... *drum roll* abuse.

brigading Larian on their Discord with messages to "protect their narrative" to drown out AA fans just asking for rp-friendly animations.

AND YET....AA fans--who actively avoid and reject the abuse narrative headcanon and enjoy AA as a whole and not just for the sexiness--are apparently the sex pests, obsessed with abusive relationships. Out of all the AA stories, comics, and things I've consumed from AA fans, none of it ever seems to include the abuse narrative or glorifing him solely for sexual reasons.

Huh...

For WIP Wednesday can I have another snippet of Angel Neil? (everything you are doing with them is absolutely lovely. The powers beginning to cement he is real. All of their conversations. I love it so much <3)

WIP Wednesday (8/21) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 224)

Mine.

His?

Neil’s...

Andrew supposes there are worse things he could be. Of course, Neil doesn’t mean it like that. (Oh, how nice it would be if he did.) For a moment, Andrew lets the sentence echo in his skull, not wanting to disturb it. 

‘You’re mine,’ Neil said so casually. When even an ounce of possessiveness on his part makes Andrew’s entire body heat and his heart kick into overdrive. He hopes Neil can’t hear it. If he can, it’s not Andrew’s fault. The stupid idiot doesn’t even know what he’s saying. Doesn’t know how it sounds. Andrew wants to shove him off the roof. He wants to chew a hole through his arm. Instead he swallows. 

“Yours.”

“Mine.” Neil repeats, the word sizzling against Andrew’s warm face. If Neil notices anything off, he says nothing. “Until you die. Maybe longer. Maybe I’ll sneak in after you and keep following you around.”

“You’d follow me into hell, angel? Are you allowed to do that?”

“If that’s where you end up, sure.” Neil shrugs. “Nothing better to do. And it’s where I belong anyway.”

“How do you figure that?” Andrew asks, cocking his head.

“I mean, I’ve killed people. That sort of gets you on the naughty list, right?”

“Close, Neil. But you’re thinking of Santa Claus and not the Almighty. Though I imagine they similar thoughts on murder. Who did you kill?”

“Couple guys,” Neil says casually, shrugging it off. “How about you? Why do you think you’re hell bound?”

Andrew lets out a breath. So many sins to consider. There’s the gay thing, of course. Nicky’s parents made sure to drill that into them. And the 'early' demise of one Tilda Minyard. Plus, he loves lying for fun and doing drugs.
