If you think you can stomach more than a few seconds of him speaking watch the full interview on YouTube

How much clearer do these genocidal psychopaths and AIPAC mouthpieces need to be for the neutral people on the planet to wake the hell up? What is it gonna take? This isn't even the first time this suggestion has been made!

There is no other end result to dropping a nuke than destruction of everything in the vicinity. None. There's no nuance, no multiple possibilities or opportunities to meet part way because it done right deh suh. But mek ah did Putin nuh, Graham wouldn't be so bold. Granny seh, duppy know who fi frighten.

Wake the fuck up.

Also, my late grandfather was stationed in Japan in the 80s. He carried this medallion everywhere afterwards:

Interview from Yle Areena instagram, during YleX Otto

Interviewer: "Hey sorry. Sorry. Are you some kind of a band?"

Johannes: "Yeah."

Interviewer: "Would you like to tell me how this all started?"

Johannes: "Yeah! Come over here! I can tell you. We were little boys and we had a dream of a band together that makes-"

Aarni: "Music."

Johannes: "-catchy songs."

Jonttu: "Accurate."

Johannes: "And then..."

Text on screen: "Silence."

Jonttu: "And then! We started it and then for six years everything didn't go so well and then suddenly everything went really well. And then now here we are."

Johannes: "Everything has always gone amazing."

Jonttu: "We've had so much fun!"

Johannes: "Yeah." *Laughs*

Interviewer: "Yeah. What was your first show?"

Jonttu: "It was a private event at Tavastia klub. As we are nepo babies."

Interviewer: "What was your first impression of each other?"

Jonttu: "And buy a leather jacket."

Johannes: "True!"

*Reqruit with a plural you instead of singular

barton being awkward at first or even completely throughout a whole interaction whenever he's trying to comfort people is so in character for him TBH and let me tell y'all why because i think it's important to his character:

he can fake a lot of things. barton can fake being nice to people, he can fake being innocent, and he can even fake having a much stronger sense of morality around people if he wants to — but whenever it comes to empathizing with someone on an emotional level... barton finds himself often struggling with faking it because of the nature of it. and this is due to it being different than whenever he's trying to feign something easily comprehensible like innocence. but empathy is something that's usually viewed as innate in us as humans and has to do with love, which doesn't depend on logic. it's something that comes from within, so it doesn't have clear parameters as to how you should do it, so whenever barton tries to fake it in the event that he's trying to make someone feel better; he'll stumble. and so although barton can cognitively empathize with someone, his efforts to actually put himself in other people's shoes fall flat, as he just can't physically imagine himself being in someone else's position probably more than half the time.

so if your muse were to ever come to him seeming upset, barton would likely not know what to do / how to comfort them, at least for a bit before referencing back on how he's seen other people do it. because i hate to say it (i don't, in reality, but y'all know what i mean LOL) but barton does actively mimic behaviors that he sees people do whenever he feels the absence of a certain emotion. he especially does this whenever he's trying to appear charming to other people, but like i said, he'll also try to use what he's seen his peers do as a guide as for what he should do in regards to empathy. and sometimes he may even seem a bit flustered before he's able to do this because he knows that it is expected of him to be able to empathize with people and can identify it in other people BUT knowing how to approach faking it has always been sort of hard for him even as an adult.

but yeahhh, that's just my own two cents about how barton sometimes break character that he is quote unquote ' normal, ' though he does try to mask this around people who aren't really familiar with him as simply being social awkwardness. however, it is part of a larger thing with him as despite the fact that he can blend in with the population REALLY well and also is pretty good at manipulating others, i suppose you could say that barton is still not an expert at ' constructing empathy ' because whenever someone is visibly hurt in front of him... he is more liable to act like he isn't sure what to do, than to put on an act immediately since he is likely to feel nothing first before anything else. and i realize that that is a rather unsettling thought, but i think that he is a lot more suspectible to doing this with people he doesn't know well / who he isn't particularly close to, as he's got a lot more practice with being falsely empathetic towards friends and/or sometimes even family members.

So, I was lying down in bed, and I had the thought of "what if Halt was actually vulnerable with Will? Like, what if Will asked for help from Halt after they came home from Skandia, like mental help, and Halt responded with stories of his own. What would that sound like?" And I came up with this:

"When you've been through as much as I have, Will, you learn to find happiness in the mundane. I grew up basing my entire personality off two things. Eventually, I was forced to leave, and I had to completely re-learn my sense of self. I didn't have any access to what I used to think was my only purpose in life, and I was homeless in a brand new place with a brand new culture and a language that I only kinda knew. But, being homeless in Araluen, you have a lot of access to nature. And, when I was young, my love of nature was the second of two personality traits. So, I took that, and I ran with it. I would only stay in taverns when it was raining out, and I would spend as much time as I humanly could in the trees, by the river banks, climbing hills, making friends with foxes and birds, and generally just finding who I was. It took me way longer than I'm making it sound, trust me, but I think it helped me once I settled down in this cabin. You, Will, have grown used to trauma being the default, and the downtime feels uncomfortable to you. You need excitement and variety. The mundane makes you feel depressed. But trust me, Will, there is beauty and excitement everywhere here. You just need to find it. And I can help you, if you'd like, but I think it's best done on your own."

Yeah, this is a normal thing to do. Writing entire essays of one character providing comfort and support to another character all while lying flat down on my bed and then retyping it all out onto my phone. I am a sane and normal human being who totally isn't way too obsessed with writing for her own good.

@an1d10t sure I'll tag you. How boutcha read this? Lol

Monster High doesn't care about black people, example no.17529

If Clawdeen is supposed to be the new brand mascot, why do draculaura & frankie already have more G3 dolls than her?

Why were their playsets announced/released before clawdeen's?

Why do they already have solo G3 collector dolls, while clawdeen's only in the lines (playline & collector) that already include everyone else?

You'd think that being the face of the brand, mattel would prioritize making HER merchandise before other characters. But they don't.

Why?

I feel like whenever people discuss "gender roles" on social media and just in society at large, they simplify it way too damn much.

I'm British so no Thanksgiving, but I will say, as someone who's lamented for ages that Swerve doesn't usually get any love/acknowledgement from the fandom, I'm grateful that there's actual fanart of him now. And it's all so GOOD.

Oh hey it's Alycia's birthday on Tuesday

[dirtyoldmanhole]

you know the characters in a fic have some serious chemistry when they ignore every single direction to cool it on one sex scene and then you just have to add another, different sex scene in authorial exasperation

Hey high school graduates. I'm so proud of you. You're graduating! That's a Big Thing! You survived three years of on and off online schooling! You did so well. No, I don't care what your end GPA was. You. Yes, you. You did so good.

Hey GED graduates. Holy hell you did it!! You got your GED in spite of Life and Luck spitting on you!! You're absolutely amazing and I don't think I could have done that.

Hello all you people who told me last year that you're going to graduate late. You did it!! Woohoo!! You're here at the finish line!! I'm so proud of you, I can't even tell you properly. English doesn't have the proper words for it.

Last year I wished all of you success. This year, I wish you acceptance. I wish you're accepted to that job. I wish you that your family accepts your gender. And most of all, I wish you that you can accept yourself: your flaws, your strengths, your being, even when you change.

[laurabenanti]
