#i don't think this is good

[viichiiiko]

Megumi doesn't talk to people. Yuuji and Nobara knew that. And that is exactly why they were shocked to find the raven haired boy smiling at his phone. "What are you doing?~" Nobara teased her way over to the boy sitting at the other end of the couch. "Nothing." Megumi replies bluntly and walked away, leaving the poor girl with questions.

Over the next few days Nobara made it her and Yuuji's mission to find out who exactly was behind that screen. But everytime they got close to the screen, Megumi called them out. "What are you both doing?" Megumi asked the two teenagers standing over him like they were his guardian angels. Nobara unlike Yuuji, was quick to notice how megumi hid his phone." Who were you talking to"?. "No one." Megumi replied. Still not content with his answer she continued to pester him. But to no avail.

Now Nobara had two options. To either sneek up on the boy and steal his phone. ( which she knows is ridiculous to even think of ). Or wait until the boy himself came to reveal the person.

Throughout all this Yuuji was confused to say the least. Why was Nobara suddenly so Interested in Megumi's phone. "I think he has a girlfriend." Yuuji almost choked on his coffee at Nobara's sudden proclamation . "No way" he replied trying to get the coffee out of his nose. "Yes way, I need you to ask him if he does. " simple enough right Yuuji thought.

Simple enough. He kept reminding himself that as he walked up to Megumi. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Yuuji asked without hesitation. "-yes?" "WHAT HUUUH" Nobara jumped out of nowhere (or so it seemed because sne was just around the duo waiting to hear the scoop of megumi's dating life). The anger or rather, confusion of the both teenagers were put to half by a loud voice "MEGUMIIII" Megumi looked no different, he stood up and hugged the owner of the voice, a girl no different in age than them.

After what seemed like an eternity to megumi of small talk and introductions, you said your goodbyes to Yuuji and Nobara. "Don't you dare treat her like shit, Megumi. Got it ?" "Yes" the boy replied to the fuming girl who was being pulled away by the pink haired boy. "So, how were they?" Megumi asked putting his hands in his pocket and walking alongside you. "They were nice, you should have introduced me to your friends earlier ya know. They seem like good people." You replied while shifting your hands to intertwine with his. "Glad you like them" Megumi muttered while pressing a small kiss onto your forehead. Maybe he should have actually introduced you to them earlier

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."

I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.

Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.

Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.
