You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

#there is not a third option. it is either trump OR biden #and one of those will be much MUCH worse for palestine #i'm really really sorry that these are the options. i wish they weren't.#but WHAT third option are you trying to take here? what on earth is your proposed outcome #that will actually make things better for palestine?#because letting trump win the election is NOT going to help them #i'm sorry but you need to set aside your feelings and take the option that will lead to less harm to palestine in the long run #you talk such a big game about how people need to be willing to make sacrifices to help palestine #but you yourself aren't even willing to hold your nose and vote to stop things from getting worse?#or did you think 'sacrifice' only meant not getting mcdonalds for a few months?#us politics

Kabru has a secret admirer in the castle!

#running from my responsibilities (drawing armour) by imagining post canon Kabru fashion #minor spoilers in the tags!#royal advisor Kabru’s office is probably overflowing with gifts from foreign dignitaries eyeing him up for marriage #and sacks of perfumed letters from Melini citizens #Marcille would be so sick of it #Laios also has his fair share of proposals #Yaad is like … boys spare us all and pick a suitable candidate already #well Yaad there’s a saying that goes two birds one stone #anyway lol #someone might have suggested to Laios ‘hey Kabru works so hard. you should show your appreciation.’#Laios (blushing sweating): uuuh how do i do that #Marcille probably: i hear it’s customary to give your royal advisor flowers the same colour as their beautiful blue eyes #Laios: well if you say so #but he starts having second thoughts bcs what if the gift is too romantic #so then Laios is like oh i know i just won’t sign it (:#fool proof plan Laios good job #totally not taking into account that Kabru can recognize his penmanship at a first glance #so at their next meeting Kabru is like ‘i wonder who my secret admirer in the castle is 😉’#and Laios sweats so hard he falls out of his throne #doesn’t Kabru of Melini have a nice ring to it #better yet …. Kabru Touden #much to consider #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #kabru #kabru of utaya #labru #if you squint #wasabi doodles

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

#it certainly doesn't help that pretty much the only other fire bender that Zuko's consistently contrasted with #is his extremely talented once in a lifetime level of a prodigy sister #but guys he's still very powerful #and I will bravely propose that #after seeing the dragons #and Zuko is no longer relying on his anger and rage to fuel his firebending #its not a coincidence that the next two battles that he has with Azula either #end with a stalemate (both Zuko and Azula use the same move on the airship and notably she's blown back further from it than he is!)#and then him winning (she's lost her stability while he's finally found his)#(side side note: I'm of the camp that Azula targeting Katara in the Agni Kai made Zuko the automatic victor because an Agni Kai is #(should be?)#between only the two partaking in it and Zuko WAS straight up wiping the floor with her until that very moment where she targeted Katara #which you know great play on Azula part she knows how to manipulate her brother cause once she released she was losing the Agni kai #Azula simply made the choice to get the throne via the line of succession lol)#ah well #atla #zuko

Eloise: have you told him that you’re whistledown yet???

Penelope: listen, a lot has happened in the last hour. I need a minute

#bridgerton #eloise bridgerton #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #polin #lady whistledown #imagine your friend you’ve loved since you were kids comes in ruins your proposal in front of everyone chases you down #confesses his feelings to you bangs you in your carriage proposes to you then immediately takes you to his house to tell his family #and now you have to figure out how to tell him your deepest secret that has effected him that you never thought you’d ever have to tell him

Paraphrasing again buuut I wanted to try illustrating this scene!

#my art #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #was thinking abt this scene from ART’s perspective #obv it wouldn’t actually hesitate in its speech #BUT I did get the sense that this was not an easy proposal for it to make #I think it’s very telling that it decided to spring this on mb seconds before it was gonna pass out again LOL #like u wanted OUT of that convo ASAP once u mentioned the whole ‘move in with me? 👉👈’ thing #idk maybe I’m wrong but I sense a sort of undercurrent of insecurity in ART #the mortifying ordeal of having wants and undergoing the vulnerability of expressing them #also this took. so much longer than I thought it would I’m so good at forgetting how long it takes to make comics

#bridgertonedit #polinedit #colinbridgertonedit #perioddramaedit #perioddramasource #weloveperioddrama #onlyperioddramas #**#bridgerton #polin #otp: you are special to me #did i make these b/w bc i got frustrated trying to color the second gif and gave up? maybe so #also dont know if this has been made yet but i havent seen it #but its the way in the first one he says come w me and grabs her hand #and the second one he asks her to come and reaches out his hand for her to grab #and how in the first one the implications that exist w propriety and society w him pulling her into a private room alone #and how that could very easily have resulted in her being compromised or a forced engagement/marriage and then didnt #and it wasnt even something on his mind at all (even if it was on hers)#vs the second one which does result in a proposal (and which also involved a compromising situation) that was very much intentional from #him (and unexpected for her)

You knew going into this that it would be hard. Pregnancy was hard; that was expected. What you didn't expect to be difficult was the thought of giving up your baby. You didn't regret your choice—you would never regret it. The fact that you were giving Katsuki and Eijirou the chance to be fathers was indescribable. You knew your little girl was in safe hands. Technically, according to the law, she wasn't even yours to begin with. You remember at the beginning, you had set up a rule to never refer to the baby as yours to specifically avoid this, but Katsuki and Eijirou had instantly put a stop to that—damn those men for being so perfect.

The moment you heard her little cries, it was like the world around you ceased to exist. Your breath hitched as she was placed into your arms. She was so small, and the way she immediately settled down into your arms splintered your hearts into pieces. You didn't even notice you were crying until Katsuki wiped away your tears, and then you were snapped out of your haze. Gently, you let Eijirou take the girl from your arms.

"Please take care of her." You managed to let out before collapsing back against the hospital bed, absolutely exhausted from giving birth.

"You fuckin' dumbass, actin' as if we aren't taking you back home, putting a diamond on your finger, and knocking you right up again."

"I'm sorry—what?"

#surrogacy!au #bakugou katsuki #kirishima eijirou #katsuki bakugo x reader #kirishima eijirou x reader #mha #mha x reader #bnha #and thats the story of how they proposed #(:

More of my diabetic Steve verse!

Steve, who doesn’t realize that Eddie is super famous and robin who could literally not care any less.

Steve and Eddie exchange numbers and text all of the time. It takes a week for Eddie to crack and send this message:

Eddie: Please for the love of god let me take you on a date I need to wine and dine you so hard I think I might pass out

Steve obviously says yes.

Eddie takes them to a small diner because he doesn’t want to risk being seen by crazy fans who somehow always find out where he is. If Eddie is being honest, he blames twitter.

Eddie gets there to find Steve already sitting at a booth, fiddling with something on his phone. His glasses are sliding down his nose again and he is wearing a Wham! graphic t-shirt and light wash jeans. He stands up once he notices Eddie and flashes a huge grin, which causes Eddie to also smile.

They both sit down on their respective sides of the table and get comfortable, making small talk. It takes a bit, but Eddie notices that Steve has the menu pulled up on his phone and laughs.

“Doing some homework?”

Steve looks confused for a second before glancing down.

“Oh yeah! I always make sure to look at it beforehand whenever I go out to make sure that I have options depending on my blood sugar level.”

“What’s your… number, is that the correct term, now?”

Steve nods enthusiastically. “Yes! And let me check.” Steve pulls out a cute green pouch and takes out a bunch of supplies. “I just changed my CGM—“ At Eddie’s confused look, he says, “My glucose monitor. It’s not completely synced yet so I can’t rely on my pod to tell me what level I’m actually at.”

After he says that, Steve cleans his finger with an alcohol wipe, lets it dry, and then pricks his finger. He squeezes the pad of his ring finger and blood pools to the surface.

“Yikes. I’m gonna have to give myself a correction or two.”

Steve cleans up the space but leaves his pouch out, and then wraps a sparkly bandaid on his finger.

“What’s a correction?”

Eddie feels dumb. He wishes he knew more about diabetes and actually researched it before showing up to the diner with no prior knowledge.

“I just give myself a little extra insulin to make my blood sugar go down. I’m flirting with 250 right now and I really want a burger.”

—

The date passes swimmingly and the two men find themselves sitting in the same booth at the same diner, but on the same side. Their hands are intertwined and Steve wrapped up half of his meal to take home.

“I made this for you!” Steve says suddenly. He grabs a stack of stapled papers and hands them to Eddie. “I made you a ‘diabetes guide!’ Since I plan on our relationship being permanent, it would give me peace of mind if you knew what to do in case of an emergency.”

Steve begins thumbing through the packet and explaining everything, but Eddie can hardly focus.

Not with Steve clutching his hand or with him wanting their relationship to become “permanent.”

“Hey, are you okay?” Steve waves his hand in front of Eddie’s face. “I understand if this is a dealbreaker or whatever, but I just like you so much and I want to be your boyfriend as of two weeks ago.”

Eddie just blinks. Then he smiles. “We only met a week ago, Stevie.”

Steve blushes, tucks some hair behind his ear. “I know that. I just had a feeling that I would meet the one.”

“Yeah?” A pause. “Can I kiss you?”

Steve releases a breath. Puts his hand on Eddie’s cheek.

“I thought you’d never ask. I hope you don’t mind the taste of hamburger.”

Eddie laughs before lunging forward.

—

As they head back to Steve’s apartment hand in hand, Eddie tells him about his more than ordinary job. Explains what might happen when people see them together.

Steve just laughs and says, “I’ve fought literal monsters from hell, I can handle anything.”

Eddie falls more in love than he knew possible.

#diabetic steve harrington #Steve being crazy and head over heels for Eddie is my favorite trope ever I need more of it #Eddie just doesn’t know how to respond he wants to propose right then and there #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #stranger things #strawb writes #they get hitched a month later #the tabloids never stop talking about how healthy their relationship is
