An interesting little fun thing with team 7 is that you assume that Sakura's gonna, like, woobify and simplify Sasuke by putting him on a pedastal,cause her goal is centered around him and shes a 12 y/o fangirl so like of course her understanding of him is skewed cause she doesnt see him as a person, just an object of affection, right? She's can't get Sasuke, can't imprint on and/or traumabond with him like Naruto and Kakashi do. They don't see him with rose tinted glasses, because they've lived through their own Horrors and empathize with Sasuke's experience.

......right?

WRONG lmao!! They have too many ghosts!! Naruto's single-minded codependent ass won't get out of his own way long enough to see Sasuke for who he actually is, only able to empathize with the parts of his trauma Naruto relates to and not really capable of understanding him outside of the context of himself (because Sasuke is. His other half). And Kakashi is far too jaded to be fair to him!! He can't decide if Sasuke is gonna end up as a mini-him or a mini-Obito or maybe a mini-Itachi, but either way he ALSO is too traumatized to see Sasuke AS SASUKE.

meanehile SAKURA'S autistic ass may have dogshit empathy, but you know what she does have? A special interest in sasuke. Nothing better to do then give herself a degree in Uchihaisms. She can write character studies about him. she can read his soul. Whenever she says something about him she is right. Every fucking time! She is RIGHT!!!!

'sasuke would NOT compliment me this directly or explicitly express worry unprompted, especially if it gets in the way of his goals' correct.

'Sasuke shouldn't hide that curse on his neck its not healthy BUT if I tell anyone about it he'll never trust me again, which might be even more dangerous for him then the curse mark. Like he can probably handle the curse mark but no one else can stop him from ripping peoples arms off.' correct.

Speaking of! 'Sasuke would not hurt me even when he seems to be...possessed? whatever the only way to knock him out of it is to present myself as Alive and thus something to be protected rather then something to be avenged, because he gets really stuck in his own head about revenge' CORRECT

'hey so um. like. Sasuke's gonna leave Konoha. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point and honestly I'm kinda starting to doubt anything should, so the only thing I could possibly do to help him at this point is ALSO defect.' CORRECT!!!!

What you said about the period cramp simulator in that tags of that one post, it reminded me that one thing I'd like to do should I start dating someone is to get one of those so that when she's having her period she can tune it to wherever her cramps are that month and then let me use it so I can get an idea of how rough any given period is

You know... just kinda have a feedback mechanism so I can know how it's going and try and do what I can to make things suck less

That's a nice idea and all but I think if someone tells you they're in pain/discomfort you just try and help them???

I always say the shingles saga as an immunocompromised sixteen-year-old was my near-death experience but then my mom will occasionally make musings of the time my heart stopped when I was 8 and I'm like oh yeah that happened

El has nightmares. they both do, it's no surprise. Max knows all the classics, and can sometimes tell which El is having by what she murmurs in her sleep. lots of Starcourt and lab ones. Max dying is easily the most common one. for all those, Max can wake her and comfort her and tell her it's okay.

a rare one that Max hates the most is when El cries mama? like a lost child. that's the one that always makes Max cry, because there's not a thing she can do about it. all the love in the world is no replacement for what was taken from El. she will never recover, and there are no real words of comfort to offer.

for those, Max tries to gather her up gently without waking her, and hold her close, and hope that El's dreams might shape her arms into the ones she needs.

sometimes, when El tightens around her and breathes more softly, mama, Max likes to think maybe it's working. she kisses her head and tries her hardest to cry silently.

cameron is SUCH a hypocrite jfc. when she gets super involved in a case and meddles w a patients personal life (like the plague lesbians), its moral and just. but as soon as foreman makes a few jests at a cop she's like "uhmmm actually i think u should be taken off the case...😠" GIRL shut up pls

Dismantling the colonization? That's basically what I mean with the rose question

so you mean you think.... Steven might hate Rose because she could have convinced the diamonds to dismantle the colony?

I think its pretty clear to both Steven and the audience of the show that simply convincing the diamonds to not go forward with colonization was not a viable option at that time. People tend to forget that Steven was only able to convince the diamonds to change course after they had experienced thousands of years of grief over Pink's loss - putting them in a fundamentally different headspace than they were when Pink kept desperately trying to talk them out of colonizing the earth.

Every single one of Steven's diamond take-down talks isn't about how they are hurting a very special place called earth and all the value they could find in the earth if they could just stop sucking it's resources dry. That stuff never works with them because none of it is personal to them. Its all about how the idealized family situation they were mourning never existed, and how their attitudes fly in the face of the ideologies of both the person they claimed to have once loved, and the perfect system they are attempting to uphold. Through this alone, Steven clearly understands that Pink did everything she could possibly think of to fix the issue, and that he's in a special position to do something she never could. He certainly doesn't like it, and probably resents Rose for retroactively putting him in this place at times, but again, thats not the same thing as hating her.

Of course, there isn't an objective truth to how Steven feels about Rose, so you can think what you want. I'm just inclined to disagree about it.

Everytime a woman speaks on how these things are damaging to females as a class you always get people whining and crying about their individual choices. "Who hurt you?" or "you re just bitter" are phrases that crop up in almost every conversation where girls share their pain. The purpose isn t to empathize or connect—it s to undermine, to shift the focus away from the legitimacy of her experience. But why does this pattern continue to play out, even among those who claim to care about equality and understanding? Gendered insults also shed light on this deeper cultural issue. It didn't dawn on me until I got older that this wasn't 'normal'. That not everyone's mother was like that. I rarely felt pressure to conform to patriarchal gender stereotypes because I didn't grow up with one as a role model. In fact the only times I started to feel as though I should conform to ‘femininity' was when I started integrating more into wider society and less in the comfort of my home. (Social media, friendships etc) Everytime a woman speaks on how these things are damaging to females as a class you always get people whining and crying about their individual choices.

As much as I have been enjoying bg3 I Do Not Like Kagha or how the game will punish you for (RIGHTLY) assuming she is beyond convincing and how the only hint you have to do anything other than just maul her stupid ass is by pickpocketing a very specific chest in her grove
