#if she acknowledged that it would be so cool

This fixer upper is a bargain. It already has a pending sale. It's called "The Gatehouse," an 1859 historic home in Bellefonte, PA. 4bds, 3ba, 2,325 sq ft, $200k.

Cars will go thru your house to visit the cemetery. I don't know why, but I love this house. For the price, I think it's well worth fixing up. Take a look inside.

The front enters into a living room and the current owners installed a spiral staircase in the corner.

It's squeezed in a little tight, and there's a powder room in here, too. I don't know if I would keep that there.

Meanwhile, the stairs go up to a loft.

It's a nice big room and the heat is in.

The kitchen isn't done. That looks like a plate covering an opening where the stove was.

This area, however, has a new floor, drywall, and sink hookup.

So, it looks like they moved the kitchen.

This area would have to be reconfigured. Look at that high door. They've put in plenty of wall sockets. It's an interesting home.

Shower room.

This bedroom on the 2nd fl. is finished. It has a door to the terrace, and 2 closets.

Vintage bath. The tub is original. They saved it, but it's so rusty.

This is going to be a laundry room.

Hallway with vintage doors and floor. I think that this is the part of the house that is over the cemetery entrance so you can get to the other side.

I think that sometimes it's better if the owner didn't even start a reno. Like what was he doing here?

This little shed on the property is cute.

Looks like he was using it for storage and a workshop.

Got a sweet little yard here. That looks like an original Victorian fence.

There's the terrace, a nice little covered deck, and look at how the house goes over the entrance to the cemetery so you can cross to the other side. This house is so cool.

Cute.

Gravestone of the former owner. She watched over the cemetery after her husband's death.

Look at the original antique keys.

This home has history and it's so unique.

The home is a Folk Victorian style and some think it was moved to this location after being a law office. Others think that it always served as the entrance to the cemetery. The property has been acknowledged by historic preservation groups for its architectural and historic significance. So, what do you think? Worth it or not? 8,276 sq ft lot.

Something that kinda bothers me is people's reaction to Karin saying "I've covered wars, you know?"

People take it as if she's saying she's the only one who's experienced war times and argue that it's out of touch to say that to a soldier and a medic. But first of all, that's obviously not what she means and second... she doesn't know these people's life stories, she just met them.

Karin is a woman with a strong personality. It's pretty easy to assume that she isn't always taken seriously as a professional. She gets defensive because she really cares about her job as a journalist and hates to be underestimated. She's also very independent and doesn't want to be perceived as a damsel in distress.

When she says "I've covered wars" she wants to assert herself and say she's been in the same predicament as any other person present in the battleground. Do you guys not know how risky being a journalist in war times is?? Documenting such violent events is not an easy job.

It's not even as if she's only saying it to sound cool, she's not pretending to be tough. She actually is.

It's really ironic and frankly, a little sad, that her attempt to be taken seriously is ridiculed by the audience. I'm pretty sure that if it were a male character saying this, the fandom would have a different reaction. I thought she was a really cool character when I first played the game and I got so disillusioned with how the fan base treats her.

I'm not saying she lacks flaws. She can be rude, outspoken and often refuses to acknowledge anything that doesn't fit her theories or worldview. My point is that a lot of people hate these traits on a female character and would otherwise not find it annoying if she were a man.

TLDR: I'm tired of the misogyny in this fandom

THIS! It’s kind of disappointing that they even consisted of the line “Cheating isn’t so bad” to begin with. I feel like cheating should only be justified when the partner is abusive towards you and that’s it. I completely understand why Stolas did do it and I feel bad for him being stuck with someone like Stella but yet again, he still committed actions that aren’t excusable (ex: breaking your child’s promises, coercing someone beneath you, etc). Sometimes it feels like the narrative acknowledges he did something wrong but somehow still finds ways to work around it? It just seems to drain out all nuance by excusing what Stolas does, y’know? It fails to make Stolas completely rounded, real, and accountable. Doesn’t matter how much he fucks up, at least he “tried”. Like Todd Chavez says “You can’t keep doing shitty things and feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay!” It’s nice that Stolas does regret his actions but you can’t also have the narrative award him for it at the same time.

It’s strange how HB seems to award cheaters, too. I’m genuinely wondering if Viv or someone on the team cheated on their ex-partner and excused it because they were actually gay. Just think about it.

Martha cheats on her husband with a married man and kills people? Well, that’s okay because she’s awarded with Mrs. Mayberry while her family is nowhere in sight and that’s cool because she’s most likely a misunderstood sapphic anyways.

That unnamed man possibly cheated on his wife because he was gay? Well, that’s okay because he’s happy and that she’s just a homophobic bitch who doesn’t understand her kids. She’s the only one in the wrong for this.

Stolas cheats on Stella and unintentionally ruins his family life and image? Well, that’s okay because Stella was always a bitch, Octavia is a naive clingy brat who the writers dislike, and Stolas never even liked her and was fixated on his childhood crush that he coerces 25 years later, anyways. But that’s also okay because their love is written in the stars and Blitz is the big jerk who keeps on pushing him away.

“Grace and Frankie” does none of that. It has characters acknowledge that cheating is wrong but it also doesn’t vilify the gay men either. Same goes with the wives. There’s a lot of nuance provided between the two, which makes both sides interesting and reasonable to sympathize with. Grace and Frankie aren’t bad women because they were rightfully upset and saddened with finding out they were cheated on. At the same time, Sol and Robert aren’t bad men for coming to terms with their sexuality and fearing that they would hurt their wives feelings by doing so. Sure they were still in the wrong for cheating, but that never meant they did so to intentionally hurt Grace and Frankie. Helluva Boss seems like it’s lacking an open-minded view like this. They just make the wives homophobic bitches and call it a day.

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT???

IF YOU WANT A SHOW THAT PORTRAYS BOTH REALISTICALLY AND WITH NUANCE THE FALLOUT OF TWO QUEER MEN CHEATING ON THEIR WIVES THAT DOESNT VILIFY THE WIVES OR THE QUEER MEN WHILE STILL HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS GO WATCH “GRACE AND FRANKIE”

FIRST SEASON IS A LITTLE SLOW THEYRE GETTING THEIR FOOTING BUT THE SHOW IS SO GOOD SO ANTI-AGEIST IT HAS OLD MAN QUEER RELATIONSHIPS AND OLD WOMAN FRIENDSHIPS AND IT STARS THE IMPECCABLE JANE FONDA AND LILY TOMLIN.

It makes my heart ache that Penber starved Naomi of the validation she so rightly deserved so much that the second a freaking kid goes, "I think you're right" her eyes light up and she says, "Really? You mean that?" Honey... Oh honey...

She is a former FBI agent. He is a highschooler. LIKE.

Light's literally not even gassing her up. He's just acknowledging and respecting her intelligence and treating her like a goddamn person, and it has her practically over the moon enough to smile since probably the first time Penber died. She's being told that her deductions make sense. Her brain is worth something after all. Light's not lying when he tells her her theory could become central to the Kira case. It's literally the truth. He acknowledges this to himself. It's basic fact. And he treats it like such, and verbalizes that to her as such after a touch of light skepticism to see the strings she's connected. And she's all for it.

And she has indeed connected them. Every single one. Everything she's saying makes sense, but she's been so goddamn trained by Penber that she was very nearly resigned to not being believed. She's adamant to explain her conspiracy board piece by piece in person because she's so acutely aware of getting swept aside, but she still knows she's right, and that her deduction is important, and she overcomes that fear and goes anyway.

She is a careful, intelligent woman. She IS. All Light does is respect that and she's suddenly spilling fucking everything to a kid she doesn't know, who she knows is tied to the police, who she knows have a leak, who she knows her fiance was investigating. She plays some cards close to her chest but she's just so swept away by being believed for once that. Well. She dies.

Light very quickly falls into honeytrapping and using women as tools but based on this I wonder how much of it is his. I don't know. Headcanon territory alert but. Seeing a reflection of the self in them? IIRC he only does this to women who are blatantly attracted to him. He doesn't seek to use Naomi in any way. Manipulate her, yes, as she's a very real threat but she's also blatantly a person to him even before he learns how much she knows. I very well could be reaching, but I could see Light seeing people who are attracted to him and being disgusted by them. He knows he's attractive on the surface, but underneath...

Does Light see the world as rotting because he's viewing it through the lens of self? Ykno?

They see his face and swoon and suddenly it's like they don't seek to know him at all. He's effectively been a prop his whole life, a model 'good son', and he sees that he's become a prop to these people too. So, too, do they become props to him. He's serving his worth to them by just being there - it's practically reciprocal, and therefore the fair and right thing to do.

Light uses Misa. He's not kind to her. He uses Takada. He's really not all that kind to her either, though he's less blatant about it to her face for the most of it. He cheats on them with each other aaaaand literally doesn't care if they might be hurt. But he still trusts Takada to effectively become his second, and trusts Misa to information gather and write names and follow a plan outside his immediate supervision. He is a two-timing manipulative gaslighting bag of dicks who'd happily sell them to the devil for a corn chip, but I'm tempted to think that's because he knows their worth, their abilities, sees his need of them, and is therefore always keeping that in mind as he tries to seduce them sweetly to where he needs them to be. Light thinks women are easy as hell, his opinion of their intelligence is definitely a hand waggle at best but he still sees them. And honestly, he thinks everyone's intelligence is a hand waggle at best, and he thinks everybody is easy to manipulate, and he's, frankly, not always proven wrong. His dismissal is pretty sex-neutral. Women probably get singled out because statistically she's gonna be straight and therefore attracted to him and that's just another button he can mash. Looking at Mikami, I have no doubts he'd treat men who are interested in him in the same way.

Naomi, obviously, is not attracted to him in this way even though he's able to please her with almost excessive ease. Naomi therefore seems to retain her personhood in his mind. 'She's just a woman', yeah, he thinks to himself as he's freaking out and going over worst case scenarios where he might actually have to assault her. She's smaller than him. Her long hair means she has an easy handhold. He's not really figuring out that she could kick his ass before he can do so much as yelp... he still hesitates, doesn't go for it, and finds another way. He thinks to himself that she's too careful for him to successfully assault her even though she's 'just a woman'. People say he taunts her after she walks away to commit her suicide but I'm not so sure he is. He's ensuring his alibi publicly in every way he can, to anyone who happens to pass them by, to anyone who can see him smile, to anyone who can hear him and register his 'friendly' voice the moment he's not speaking so only Naomi can hear. Naomi is a threat. Naomi is careful. Naomi is very, very fucking smart. Light needs to ensure his victory as much as possible, and is acting to do this from every angle even as Naomi is in the grips of the Death Note's thrall because she's goddamn Naomi Misora.

And Light, though he's only met her very briefly, knows that. There is no way he didn't enjoy that cat and mouse game. Of course he revelled in his victory. She was an exceptional opponent who very nearly had him in checkmate several times in, like, the span of a half hour. L's been at this for months and he's never gotten as close to catching Kira as Naomi did lmao Him being giddy makes sense in that context.

Penber trusts Naomi enough to get him tea and keep house. He tells her as much to her face. All she is, is his fiance. That's all she's good for anymore - whatever her capability, whatever her intelligence, whatever her reputation 'before', they're now worthless. He'd never even think to try and manipulate her to make use of her blatant fucking intelligence because he literally doesn't see it. He dismisses her skills out of hand. What a waste. What a goddamn waste. If Naomi had been the one investigating Light, he'd be in custody before Ryuk even told him he was being stalked.

I've been thinking, and... I kind of love the fact that Mai and Kaiba have a crap load of stuff in common and would probably get along really well in a crack timeline.

Please try to picture this and tell me you're not smiling:

(Both of them standing next to each other)

Kaiba: So... grew up rich?

Mai: (nods) Grew up rich.

Mai, side-eyeing now: Neglectful parents?

Kaiba, surprised: Neglectful parents.

Kaiba, thinking this is gonna be the deal breaker: Friends are stupid?

Mai, full on enthusiasm: OMG! Friends are stupid!

Mai: ... Joey Wheeler?

Both, now facing one another pointing like that Spiderman meme: JOEY F*CKING WHEELER!!

Do you ever think about all the women in jjk that don't even get a second to be mourned?

[goldiipond]

something i really really like about ray and isabella's relationship is that ray is never expected to forgive her at the end. it makes sense that the younger kids would all forgive her after she used her position to help them in the return to gracefield because at the end of the day, she raised them in a warm and nurturing environment and did truly love them. ray didn't really get that same treatment though.

im sure ray's feelings about her at the end are complicated to say the least, he understands the horrifying position she had been in since she was 12 and probably relates to that at least a little bit. i like the way he tells her to get over it and come to the human world with them because if he couldn't use death as a way out, he definitely wasn't going to let her do it. (this would have been much more impactful if she didn't proceed to die anyway a little later on but. gently pushes that aside <3)

i don't really think ray's 'no one is holding any grudges' line necessarily means he forgave her though? the kids know that the sisters are all victims of a horribly abusive and oppressive system, and none of them are going to hold that against them even if some can't bring themselves to forgive them for whatever personal reasons. in ray's case specifically as a victim of abuse, i do not think he owes isabella anything. it was the system that forced isabella to raise children for the farm or face death, but her actions against ray specifically were her own, and he has every right to feel a little differently about her because of that.

kill the trope of characters forgiving abusive family members because 'they had no choice'/'they're still family' give me more ray 'i know you were hurt deeply by things beyond your control but that doesn't excuse the pain you caused me' tpn <3

I think it might get to the point where Taylor Swift will show up in discussions of propaganda to divert attention from a genocide.

Israel tweeted about the arrowhead security guard who joined the IOF with Taylor's face and name attached to it. She never corrected it. She felt the need to go after the wedding and gaylor rumors but Israel claimed her as a Zionist and used her brand for their propaganda and she said nothing. I still can't forgive her for that. Taylor Swift wants us to believe she doesn't know that happened? The tweet is still up.

She tried to do the same when white supremacists claimed her as their aryan goddess. There goes her promise to never let that happen again.

yuuuup, definitely found it funny how she had tree run to the press to clear up the gaylor/ joe wedding rumors but let zionist claims and IOF affiliations are totally fine to be spread around lmao.

thinking about her saying “I need you to forgive me for doing this… I need to be on the right side of history.” in 2020 and then literally fucking up again. swifties love to say that she doesn’t have to be a political leader or advocate bc she doesn’t owe anyone anything but she literally said herself that she wanted us to forgive her and to let her SHOW US THAT SHE IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.
