#i CANNOT KEEP HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATIONS

[messrsrarchives]

and also based on this comment section, i feel the need to clarify that even if you have a HBO Max subscription already,,, it's still doing harm???

we get so caught up in mass change that we make no change. we get so caught up in this idea that by doing something we change everything, when that's not the case.

everybody on earth could boycott. the reboot could get 0 streams and she would still be a transphobic piece of shit because whilst, yes, boycotts are about mass change, we can't change a person's morals and her pockets are already fully lined.

what you can do, is stick to your own morals. because mass change isn't the only worthwhile change.

one person not watching the show does not make a tremendous impact, of course not. but one person posting about it online and receiving 10k+ likes? that makes a difference. that makes a different to how safe people feel, that makes a difference to those 10k people who now feel justified in engaging, that makes a difference to the people IN these spaces who want to facilitate a welcoming community.

and yessss, there's no ethical way to engage. i can talk about jkr as much as i want on tiktok and yet when i post about her characters, it is promotion.

it's about doing the least amount of harm possible. because one post and one comment section of people saying how easily they'd abandon their morals for some content? That makes a change.

that makes a massive change to how welcome we feel in these spaces.

and i am so Tired of the "one person doesn't make a difference" mentality - we've all been there! i've said it too.

but (1) nobody is asking you to be the only person to do it, that's why we have these conversations. (2) it's evidently not one person when everybody falls into this mindset,,, maybe something could be done? (3) that's what you say, and then you go to facilitate talks. you don't use it as an excuse to do nothing and cause harm

and most importantly, one person can.

you can make a difference in your corner. you can make a difference with the people around you, with your account, in this space etc etc. you can not talk about the reboot, you can delete pro-jkr comments, you can make it clear where you stand (and not even loudly! you don't have to be loud about it, you just have to be Consistently On Our Side)

we desperately need to free ourselves from the idea that mass, widescale change is the only valuable change and instead start thinking about all the small, seemingly insignificant changes we could make that have a massive impact on a fandom space.

because you can make a difference. to the people around you, and to the space you're engaging in. it's just that you're too focused on alterating everything that you don't recognise the other ways you're causing harm.

harm is harm. no matter how indirect. and i really wish people got that.

at the end of the day, i don't care who watches it. you do you, i'll simply know you're not someone to associate with. but i DO care who posts about it, because then it's abundantly clear that you have no respect for this space, or our comfort. you just want some likes,,,

i don't care who watches it, i care that i have to sit back and see people show just how little they truly care about our existence if they get some sparkly new content.

(and p.s. streaming on HBO Max even with a sub,,, still gives her money? "we were already involved in the maki-" then idk. delete your subscription? or don't add more money to her pocket? stop making excuses and hiding behind "roadblocks" that are literally poorly placed traffic cones that you can move)

i am ONE minor inconvenience away from deleting my account i am going INSANE

make it worth it for WHO??? FOR WHOOOOO 😭😭😭

I can’t stop thinking about a TMA fic idea where, instead of going Somewhere Else at the end of the series, Martin wakes up back in the safe house the morning the world ended.

Jon doesn’t remember anything. Neither, it seems, does anyone else. Martin checks the statements they’ve received and finds Elias’ message in the top file, exactly where he had expected it. In classic Martin fashion, he promptly commits arson and discards of the ashes. If none of this feels quite real, then at least it is a pleasant dream. It’s been so long since he’s dreamed like this.

Martin and Jon have a lovely, quiet day. They walk over to see the cows. They eat together, and Martin prepares tea. Jon knows something is wrong, but Martin brushes it off, blaming his strange mood on nightmares. It’s been a rough few years, and even rougher few months. If Martin seems a bit… off, well, it only makes sense.

Moreover, something in Jon doesn’t want to know what Martin is hiding. Something in him so deeply yearns to keep its eyes shut.

That night, they go to sleep, side by side. Jon lies across from Martin, relatively human and relatively happy and, most importantly, alive. Martin falls asleep tracing the scars on his hands.

The next morning begins like any in the safe house. Martin wakes up and wanders over to the kitchen to make some tea, while Jon follows him, still fighting off sleep. The morning light through the windows sets everything aglow and as Martin opens up the cupboard, he couldn’t be happier… until his hand brushes empty air.

“… Jon?”

“Hm?”

“Where’s the tea we bought yesterday?” At this point he knows. But he has to be sure. And when Jon looks up at him, confused, and tells him that they ran out yesterday and certainly didn’t purchase any more, that they were planning to buy some today, Martin felt that truth solidify in his stomach like a stone.

Jon sees the change in Martin’s expression and this time he almost asks - but that same part of him that covered his eyes earlier now rears up and nearly chokes him. He doesn’t want to know.

“Martin? What-”

Martin doesn’t give him the chance to finish. In seconds, he’s out the door, crumpling Elias’ message as he walks.

That day is quiet and difficult, filled with arguments and half-asked questions, obviously false answers. When they fall asleep, Jon is turned away. Martin stares up at the ceiling until sleep claims him.

The next day seems a bit dimmer. He stays in bed with Jon as long as he can, feeling the steady thrum of his pulse, the warmth of his breath, as they hold each other in the quiet morning.

Days pass, then weeks. Martin learns every path by heart, every conversation, at first precious, eventually made dull by repetition. Sometimes, he’s able to smile. Sometimes, he admits that he can feel the Lonely rolling over him like the tide. (What could be lonelier than going through such an experience, and being unable to talk about it? What could be lonelier than knowing that, no matter what, everything you do today will be forgotten tomorrow?) Jon can offer comfort, but he cannot ask why that comfort is needed. He cannot know.

In the end, Martin wakes up early. He puts Elias’ message in his pocket and goes into town, buying tea and pastries and two pairs of comfortable walking shoes.

They share a warm breakfast together, as a thick white fog hangs around the cabin. Martin finishes his tea, and places the statement on the table when Jon isn’t looking.

“I’m going to go for a walk.”

“In this fog?” Jon looks out the window, and in his eyes, Martin sees the reflection of the Lonely. He gets up and walks over.

“I just want to stretch my legs. I’ll be back before lunch, alright?”

Jon meets his gaze, and if some communication passes between them, it is swiftly buried by the fog. “Alright. I need to take a statement anyway.”

Before leaving, Martin bends down and kisses him, just once.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Martin steps out into the mist and walks, walks and walks until the world ends.

People complain all the time about shorter replies not giving them enough to work with, but I would much rather know quickly that there's not much to reply to than have to dig through 2K words first to discover the same thing. Being a good RP partner in this regard isn't just about giving your partner something to read; it's about teamwork, and passing the baton in such a way that it's rewarding and possible for both of you to pick it up. Someone using my muse as a springboard to write thousands of words about their own muse in every reply, while not bothering to actually interact with mine and forcing me to constantly make all the hooks if I want to do anything but stand there, makes me feel way more insulted and disrespected than someone's replies being short because they were low on spoons, or having trouble getting into the rhythm of the scene. (Or because it was appropriate! Sometimes a long reply just does not work for a particular moment or scene!) Moar Words does not fix someone being checked out of a scene, or treating their writing partner as a content dispenser instead of a person who should also be enjoying the game. They don't make you a better writer, either, and if anything a person with a good ear for writing might find it harder to make longposts for every reply because depending on the scene it is just plain godawful pacing to do so. Thousands of words per character in a non-epistolary framing is an incredibly awkward, unnatural way to write, unless you're doing specific things that work well for some people and are a bloated, disjointed formatting nightmare for others. (For example: I can't begin to tell you how many threads and partners I've given up on because I CANNOT do RP that involves the other person's muse taking five turns' worth of actions in one reply, forcing my muse to take on the load of retroactively responding to each until they've 'caught up' to the present, only for it all to start over again next turn. Often while they keep introducing MORE parallel branches of action and conversation for me to keep up with. AUGH.) Just… just communicate with your RP partners, and make sure you're both enjoying it and able to participate, instead of being obnoxious shitheads about short-form RPers, okay? Please?

[hotchtits]

hotch and elle and the killing of their respective 'main' unsubs

if i see one more fucking person say

"oh its so unfair that elle got fired for killing a guy when hotch literally did the same thing and everyone praised him for it"

i think i just might lose it

lets break this down and actually think critically about this

when hotch literally did the same thing

wrong!! what did hotch actually do?

hunted down an escaped (after being arrested and identified) and prolific serial killer that had assaulted him in his own home and targeted his family

listened to said serial killer murder his wife over the phone

entered a literal fight to the death with the serial killer where he had to beat him to death with his bare hands because otherwise both him and his son would have been murdered next

it was self defense. pure and simple. he had no gun, no weapon other than his hands and he knew that if he stepped away, it would be over. there is quite literally nothing else could have done.

what did elle do?

hunted down an uncharged and unconfirmed suspect

tried to provoke him into attacking her

when that didn't work, shot him and planted evidence as well as lie about what happened when the police arrived

did the guy deserve it? absolutely. he was a scumbag and a rapist and deserved to die. but the show makes her actions inexcusable for a reason. you cannot do that as a law enforcement officer. you cannot go and shoot someone who is not actively threatening you, especially not without evidence. additionally, the reason he was uncharged was because she panicked during the undercover mission.

i agree that she definitely wasn't ready for it, and that someone else should have been the bait but she was asked and she confirmed that she would be okay.

"but they should have realised that she would have panicked" why? up until that point, she had been a brilliant agent and had never given any indication that she might not be able to do it. again, she told both hotch and gideon that she'd be fine. why would they doubt her? she's good at her job.

everyone praised him for it

also wrong!! emily and rossi look at him in nothing short of horror when they run in to find him beating foyet to a pulp. even morgan, while comforting him, is obviously disturbed by the scene.

hotch and his team also faced a hearing about the aftermath of the case. it didnt matter that foyet had been stopped and that he and his son were safe, he still had to justify every single action he took.

there's another counterargument here that "well they might not have praised him for it but they understood why he did it" and... yeah? again, self defense.

anyway. this is one of those topics that makes my blood boil. i love elle. do i think they way they never brought her up again was unfair? yes. do i think that the way she suffered because of a choice gideon made was unfair? yes. was she wrong for shooting that guy? honestly i'm kind of glad she did.

but im sick of people saying that their circumstances were the same because they weren't.

people also love to cite misogyny here and while CM has a fair amount of it (dont get me started on the treatment of paget and aj) its not fucking misogynistic to recognize that what elle did was illegal and hotch didn't "get a pass" for what he did just because "hes a man"

TLDR: stop comparing elle and hotch's situations with the intention of pointing out the inequality of their treatments because their situations were in no way comparable.

Some tips we were given at work by an immigrant rights organization:

- Ask to see a JUDICIAL warrant. This is a warrant actually signed by a judge that has jurisdiction over your locale, NOT an administrative warrant signed by some middle manager at Homeland Security. ICE will try and pass administrative warrants off as judicial because they are banking on people not knowing the difference. Only a judicial warrant grants them the authority to conduct a search. They cannot enter private property without one.

— Businesses can sometimes fall into a gray area of public vs private property - if your doors are open and anyone can walk in, ICE can come inside even without a warrant, although they still cannot conduct a search. If your workplace is able to, keep your doors closed (and ideally locked) and make it clear that the premises are private property, not open to the public, and only available to clients on appointment (even if this is not strictly true).

- ICE can only legally detain people if they have evidence or probable cause of them having committed a crime. However, right now, this can be as little as having their full name or seeing foreign identification. It is better to carry no ID than foreign ID right now. Most states don’t require you to be able to immediately produce it anyway, and cops can’t force you to show ID if you’re not being detained.

- Keep in mind that being in the country “illegally” is NOT a criminal offense, it is a civil violation. No one is being inherently criminal by being here without the correct paperwork. That being said, the Trump administration and ICE are treating it as a criminal violation. This is not the time to be doing anything except following the letter of the law. Some of the biggest risks are moving violations - don’t do anything that might get you pulled over.

- Don’t say shit. If you are stopped by ICE, don’t say anything to them with the exception of the following four things:

— “Do you have a judicial warrant?”

— “Am I being detained?”

— “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”

— “I am invoking my right to an attorney.”

- EVERYONE in the United States is protected by the Constitution and is entitled to both its enumerated rights and the Miranda rights. Undocumented immigrants are still 100% entitled to an attorney, including a public defender. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, they’re lying to you.

- If you are not being detained, leave but DO NOT RUN. Running is all the evidence they need to arrest you. It’s going to be scary, but you HAVE to stay calm and WALK away. You do not need to wait for them to dismiss you to leave unless they are actively engaged with you. If you see them talking to someone down the street, you can turn and walk away then, you don’t need to (and shouldn’t) wait for them to get to you. They cannot force you to stay in a place if they aren’t detaining you and don’t have a warrant.

- FOR US WHITE PEOPLE, it is insanely important that we follow these same rules even though we are not the targets of these raids. Don’t do anything to put vulnerable folks in danger. Don’t speak to them more than necessary. Don’t give them any information, even about yourself. Be compliant but not cooperative. Do. Not. Help. Them. Keep them occupied so the people they’re targeting can leave out the back. It is vital that we make it clear where we stand and if need be, weaponize our privilege and our white bodies to protect our immigrant friends.

And really truly internalize this stuff, because you will need it. We were having a fully theoretical conversation about protocol yesterday morning and within five hours, ICE was in town and that theoretical discussion became full reality.

Here's what we know about the deportations.

What to look out for, what to know, and what to do

When I say ICE, I also mean anyone else who could possibly be working with them

Know

- if you are poc at all or even poc presenting, they will come after you as well. It's not only immigrants they are targeting

- they are starting this targeting schools and churches

- Sanctuary states are stepping in to protect their citizens, states that aren't (like Texas) is purposely turning a blind eye and will not help you, please check if you're in a safe state

- teachers are actively stepping in to protect their students

- classrooms and houses count as dwellings, people cannot come in dwellings by force (unless they have a warrant)

- if people mention "winter boots" they mean agents.

Look out

- ICE is in van's, those vans are unmarked and will not be obviously ICE workers

- if you go to school, ICE is (trying) to use social workers and CPS to take away kids, if they come in, watch who they are looking for. (For right now, CPS and social workers are refusing to work with ICE, but I would still be cautious)

- if you have a noticeable poc population wherever you go and live, watch it. Watch if people suddenly go missing or for whatever reason isn't seen for a day or 2

- Look on any form of media for reports of agents

These are the warrants you should be looking for

To do

- Do NOT open the door if ICE or those suspected of working for them come to a dwelling, they will force their way in once you do that. Keep the door closed.

- Do NOT run if you think you see them, running will make them think you are guilty and they will go after you.

- Treat them like cops, because they are. Like cops, you have to be extremely calm and collected with them because cops will use whatever reason they see fit to harm you. Do not yell, touch, raise your voice, and be extremely clear when you talk to them.

- ICE does not have you or anyone's best interest in heart, do NOT try to actually befriend them

- Walk in groups if you or someone you know is poc or an immigrant, it is harder to seclude and take someone if they aren't alone

- Get in touch with your community, it is harder to protect or be protected if you do not know who to be with

- you can legally and SHOULD record and take pictures of agents, once you do that, send those videos and pictures to anyone you know. If you post it to social media (which you should) put down the location they were seen.

It is INSANELY important that if you have any other tips or information that you put them down here.

Protect your fellow person, regardless of if you know or like them.

I did this on bsky earlier and remembered I had it saved in my drafts on here too!

More detail below 👀

She didn’t know Loghrif well, but Gaia was Kass’ senior at the Akadaemia, so they knew each other in passing for centuries. She was friendly with Hythlodaeus, so she was friendly with Azem by association.

Mitron was much the same as Loghrif, someone she was cordially acquainted with from school who she didn’t really see much outside of a formal setting. Azem did, however, secretly side with Mitron in the great ‘when is the fish no longer a fish and actually just taking the piss’ debate.

Azem, Emet-Selch, and Hythlodaeus were married, soulmates, absolutely inseparable. For Azem, it was platonic, for the others, romantic. They were friends from the day they met as children, and even after the Sundering, they cannot part until they return to the Star together.

Azem clashed with Pashtarot a lot, as a notorious rule-breaker, but there was no genuine ill-will. They just found each other frustrating to work with.

Fandaniel was her friend for years, from their time working in Elpis together before either of them joined the Convocation. Azem started to distance herself a bit after she quit her job to travel, and even more her father returned to the Star, but they remained friends until the very end. Hermes was never really certain exactly how he felt towards her.

I don’t think Azem and Altima ever interacted. Even in meetings.

She and Halmarut didn’t talk much, but they did have a close mutual friend in Azem’s sister-in-law, so sometimes they would end up in a social situation together. Having nothing in common, any conversation never made it past the small-talk stage.

Nabriales was her friendly rival, they just liked to fight and compete constantly. The arena from P11 is the Convocation Chamber in its reconfigured state that Azem designed for their matches.

Azem wasn’t certain on where she stood with Igeyohrm. She was Lahabrea’s family, but also Elidibus’ close friend, so she was never sure which direction Igeyohrm veered towards with her.

Deudalaphon was another old friend from before she joined the Convocation, and her old boss - Azem’s original role being part of the Words of Deudalaphon. Her concept specialities fell under their expertise, so they worked together even after Azem took up the mantle of the traveller.

Azem owed Emmerololth her life a hundred times over (due to her tendency to injure herself on duty) so she tried her best to maintain a friendly bond between them out of respect and gratitude.

Lahabrea and Azem vehemently detested each other. They did not agree with how the other operated at all, and neither felt the other should have a seat on the Convocation. In part, it stemmed from the unfortunate relationship that Lahabrea had with Azem’s father, Apollo, when he had been younger. When Azem heard what had happened with Erichthonios, Elidibus had to keep them from trying to kill each other.

Elidibus was like her little brother, she cared for him dearly and had since he was toddling. He looked up to her the way she looked up to Venat - to the point where she was concerned it would interfere with his duties if he took on the role of Emissary.

Venat was a personal hero from the day they met, and over time became her mentor and confidant. Even though Azem felt as though her predecessor could be difficult at times, and she didn’t understand many of her actions especially towards the end, she still loved her all the same.

I'm not trying to be rude at all I promise but, why *do* you ship charlie x alastor? cause charlie and vaggie are canon so I'm bit a confused

Ok seriously, how many times are people going to ask me this question??😆 like, am I committing a crime or something? Is this the equivalent of smoking crack to you people?? Lmao

Jokes aside, I’ve explained my reasoning here and in many other posts, but like, I don’t feel like I really need a specific reason to ship characters. I just do it because I can! Same as anybody else!

Anon why exactly are you confused? Yes, Charlie is canonly with Vaggie, but that doesn’t forbid me from shipping with her Alastor or any other character. Like my dude, I have shipped characters that have never even been in the same room together. What makes you think I can be stopped from shipping these two, who have undeniably chemistry together?🤷‍♀️ lol I’m just having a little fun and I’m not hurting anybody by shipping them, so why the confusion?

Not just ominous, but absolutely terrifying. As somebody with dissociative issues, watching Severance hits so hard, because not having memories is scary as fuck!

When you know somebody, especially if you're certain they are (or were) a friend, an overall positive emotional reaction- but you cannot remember a single moment even sitting next to them. No memory of any conversation, there's pictures, pictures of you, of them, but there is no recollection of the events despite the recognition.

When you are connected to somebody who is a complete stranger to you- that you should have more memory of them. But you don't know them. You can't remember.

I fear losing the connections I have one day, because eventually my mind will disintegrate beyond repair, and I will no longer be able to recall the names of those I love sitting next to me. I can only hope that they will still, despite this, somehow, someway, be sitting next to me.

Worse, when I cannot shape the names of people who hurt me, or in what ways they have hurt me, because I cannot remember it clearly, if at all. It opens a path for them to return, to do what they will again and again, if no one else knows or cares to keep them away. If time and/or other factors erodes the safety of a support system, it is possible I could be calling out for a helping hand and find- if not a fist- none reaching out for me.

The dehumanization of the self, the intertwined symbolism- like an ecosystem, even, of symbolism- in Severance of grooming, of capitalism, and the downright cult worship of that capitalism and how it is very closely interchangeable (if that's even the right word) with heavy religious belief. The dehumanization from those who hold power over you, while they too answer to someone with more power that dehumanizes them, to the point neither you or they can tell what is good, what is okay, what should be questioned if anything at all-

The dehumanization you push on yourself through yourself, because of this cycle. This hierarchy, pushing and spreading belief through ignorance and separation and the purposeful lack of tools to educate the self outside of what's given by Lumon.

The re-humanization of Cobel in the way she crashes out, and tells Mark Scout that it is a good thing he is looking to quit. Taught and trained, in an unknown way (but surely similar), the same thing she had been pushed to teach and train Mark S. The mental illness, the pain, the way of thinking. It's bigger than she is, yet throughout Season one it is so hard not to tunnel vision on her, who HAS power, to see that even she has a range of helplessness that's been learned/taught by someone else above her.

Helena tells Helly she is not human, Mark Scout using Mark S. to repress- yet, Helly & Mark S. ARE Helena & Mark Scout, and I could go on and on and on about the Russian doll scenario that is. I could also go on and on about Helly's initial and aggressive/violent defiance of it all, and how even as she starts to push less and less against the lid, her spark being the thing that pushed the others to think in ways they were too afraid to.

The similarities to (if not a straight up parallel/I have no other good word, send help) DID &/or other dissociative disorders, the way the show represents derealization and grief and love, and the grief of love, and more in so many ways through their film work and writing, and the actors doing amazing jobs...

GRAAAHHHH, you are so right.

There it is again, that funny feeling. That transition between:

"Oh my god! A four!!" and "You're right... The numbers were scary."

can't get over how ominous a severed existence can be. imagine a deja vú feeling multiplied by ten. imagine that split second moment before your stomach drops and somersaults, before your throat does that clicking little thing, before your heart bumps against your ribs. recognition without memory.

there it is again, that funny feeling.

"there it is again, that funny feeling" as helly looks at helena telling her she's not a person. "there it is again, that funny feeling" as petey tells mark scout that mark s carries his sadness with him, he just doesn't know what it is.

veteran nctzens were so right cause now that im serious about them , if the rest of yall can learn 5+ 8 member groups you can learn nct fr 🤣

[fangedjustice]

Lloyd laughs at that response, surprisingly hearty considering the conversation they were having. It was just so...straightforward and honest an answer. No fluff, no pussyfooting around, no airs; just the simple facts, and it was refreshing.

"Fair enough! Seems we're of the same mind, then. An exchange of faith in each other's honor."

Lloyd goes quiet at the answer, his gaze firm as he searches the other's face. Even with the laugh after the fact, the attempt to brush away what was so clearly a true and honest answer, Lloyd was not distracted from the look in those eyes. It was one he understood, even if only a fraction. It was something that haunted his eyes, his steps, his heart as well.

"...The way I see it, we do not get to decide when or if we're forgiven. All we can do is keep trying to do good for others. Even if it doesn't reach those we directly wronged, the fact that you do regret it and that you're no longer walking the path that led you to cause that damage or rift in the first place...," he pauses, sighs as he shifts to gaze into the steam. "That matters. It counts for something."

With a stretch of his arms up and over his head, relishing in the easier movement the warmth has given him, Lloyd pushes off of the bench and gets to his feet, turning to stand before Sephiran.

"There are many I cannot directly make things up to. They followed me, my family, and they lost their lives to our mistakes. I should have died among them, and yet I did not," he says, "There is a reason you carry on, with the weight of your actions or lack thereof. You have the chance to change, to try and do better -- to stumble and fall, and pick yourself back up again. You are not here, alive, just to suffer. We can figure it out, one step at a time."

Sauna Is A Counter Pick Stage

They say if you go to the sauna completely alone at night, and get the room full of steam, you’ll see your doppelgänger in the mist. If you don’t defeat your doppelganger, or escape before it can catch you, your doppelganger will take your place! Or… Maybe it’s just someone else using the sauna… [Grants Gauntlet +1]

There's like groups of people who say they don't want to see Black Trauma and think that means that Black people should just never be depicted being in hardship or being poor or anything that makes them specifically uncomfortable

And then there's groups of people who decide that sick freaks fetishizing the Sapphics mean Sapphics should never be depicted having sex on page or on screen or never talk about sex

And as a Black Bisexual they both get on my nerves I s2g
