i genuinely think that harry calling remus proffesor lupin instead of uncle moony is one of the most tragic things in the whole harry potter. the fact that he REMAINED proffesor lupin and was never called uncle moony? just a constant reminder that he had lost everything?

PS: i know that it's not completely harry's fault, I'm frustrated at the whole outcome and remus' fate

was it casual when i sat in your lap in public? was it casual when i said "recently my heart is crying because you're leaving"? was it casual when we decided how your last name would fit with mine? ("yuki tsunoda-gasly" / "no tsunoda, only gasly" / "yuki gasly?") was it casual when we sang adele's "someone like you" together at your going away party? was it casual when i knew it was you just by touching your ass? was it casual when i knew it was you by smell alone? was it casual when "will you miss me?" / "for 2-3 minutes maybe" / "i'll take that. even if it's just 2-3 minutes, i'll take that"? was it casual when that bus was completely empty and we still sat right next to each other, all the way in the back? was it casual when i picked you up multiple times so you could dunk a basketball? was it casual when i begged to come over to your house multiple time and then you finally let me and we cooked fried rice together? was it casual when we played christmas twister together and i said "your big eggplant is touching my ass"? was it casual when we were pressed up against each other on a scooter going two miles per hour? was it casual when-

you were raised in comparison.

it wasn't always obvious (well. except for the times that it was), but you internalized it young. you had to eat what you didn't like, other people are going hungry, and you should be grateful. you had to suck it up and walk on the twisted ankle, it wasn't broken, you were just being a baby. you were never actually suffering, people obviously had it worse than you did.

you had a roof over your head - imagine! with the way you behaved, with how you talked back to your parents? you're lucky they didn't kick you out on your ass. they had friends who had to deal with that. hell, you have friends who had to deal with that. and how dare you imply your father isn't there for you - just because he doesn't ever actually talk to you and just because he's completely emotionally checked out of your life doesn't mean you're not fucking lucky. think about your cousins, who don't even get to speak to their dad. so what if yours has a mean streak; is aggressive and rude. at least you have a father to be rude to you.

you really think you're hurting? you were raised in a home! you had access to clean water! you never so much as came close to experiencing a real problem. sure, okay. you have this "mental illness" thing, but teenagers are always depressed, right. it's a phase, you'll move on with your life.

what do you mean you feel burnt out at work. what do you mean you mean you never "formed healthy coping mechanisms?" we raised you better than that. you were supposed to just shoulder through things. to hold yourself to high expectations. "burning out" is for people with real jobs and real stress. burnout is for people who have sick kids and people who have high-paying jobs and people who are actually experiencing something difficult. recently you almost cried because you couldn't find your fucking car keys. you just have lost your sense of gratitude, and honestly, we're kind of hurt. we tell you we love you, isn't that enough? if you want us to stick around, you need to be better about proving it. you need to shut up about how your mental health is ruined.

it could be worse! what if you were actually experiencing executive dysfunction. if you were really actually sick, would you even be able to look at things on the internet about it? you just spend too much time on webMD. you just like to freak yourself out and feel like you belong to something. you just like playing the victim. this is always how you have been - you've always been so fucking dramatic. you have no idea how good you have it - you're too fucking sensitive.

you were like, maybe too good of a kid. unwilling to make a real fuss. and the whole time - the little points, the little validations - they went unnoticed. it isn't that you were looking for love, specifically - more like you'd just wanted any one person to actually listen. that was all you'd really need. you just needed to be witnessed. it wasn't that you couldn't withstand the burden, but you did want to know that anyone was watching. these days, you are so accustomed to the idea of comparison - you don't even think you belong in your own communities. someone always fits better than you do. you're always the outlier. they made these places safe, and then you go in, and you are just not... quite the same way that would actually-fit.

you watch the little white ocean of your numbness lap at your ankles. the tide has been coming in for a while, you need to do something about it. what you want to do is take a nap. what you want to do is develop some kind of time machine - it's not like you want your life to stop, not completely, but it would really nice if you could just get everything to freeze, just for a little while, just until you're finished resting. but at least you're not the worst you've been. at least you have anything. you're so fucking lucky. do you have any concept of the amount of global suffering?

a little ant dies at the side of your kitchen sink. you look at its strange chitinous body and think - if you could just somehow convince yourself it is enough, it will finally be enough and you can be happy. no changes will have to be made. you just need to remember what you could lose. what is still precious to you.

you can't stop staring at the ant. you could be an ant instead of a person, that is how lucky you are. it's just - you didn't know the name of the ant, did you. it's just - ants spend their whole life working, and never complain. never pull the car over to weep.

it's just - when it died, it curled up into a tight little ball.

something kind of uncomfortable: you do that when you sleep.

the death toll in gaza has surpassed 28,000. thats more than the population of the town i grew up in.

and its going to be much more given that the iof is invading rafah. the place over a million palestinians were displaced to. yknow, the designated safe zone.

dont stop talking, educating, protesting, donating, etc.. i understand being tired, i am too, but we cant afford to be burnt out. theres no conceivable reason for anyone to think any of this is ok to do to other humans. theyre not just numbers. these are peoples friends, siblings, parents, kids, lovers, spouses. it doesnt matter how far away they are. many of them were lovely human beings, and even those that werent didnt deserve this. they dont deserve this. i hope you already understand that.

*grips your shoulders* an eight year old is not gonna act like that. put the pen down. close the laptop. stop writing for a minute. volunteer at a daycare center for a week or smth. an eight year old is typically (unless they're purposely doing it, but at that point you'll be able to tell) not going to speak in one word sentences. that is a child with a possible developmental delay and should probably get an assessment done. that is a two year old with an MLU score of 2.0 who is struggling with their present possessive verbs. look up the average heights of an eight year old because i promise they're bigger than that.

if your six year old is still doing reduplicated babbling and it's not clearly an on purpose active play decision, then they should probably (re: REALLY) undergo evaluation because one of the first signs of a developmental delay is delayed speech. children begin speaking in two word utterances as young as 18 months old. three year olds on average can hold simple conversations with adults. four year olds absoLUTELy can.

i know it's super fun to write children as being dependent and clingy to their parent for your super fluffy found family child fic but that is not a six year old that is a worryingly large two year old with a mild speech delay. you don't have to be 1:1 accurate, god knows i'm not but please at least know that children on average are capable of holding simple conversations by the time they're 4, and are usually doing the baby talk stuff to be cute or as a play thing. which isn't a bad thing but if they're talking like that unironically and ALL the time, then there is likely a problem in their development.

this might be a cold take I don't really know, but being on the Strip in FNV always has me torn between "gambling is so cool" and "every single person who lives directly on the strip went through forced assimilation by Mr. house"

Benny is a victim of colonization, I feel bad for the guy

can i know your ass rating hcs for the mxtx characters like top 10 asses

1. Jiang Cheng - Fattest ass: All his anger is stored in there

2. Xie Lian - He went through so much let him have this

3. Luo Binghe - When he fell into the abyss his ass broke his fall

4. Wei Wuxain - Mo Xuanyu made sure to leave the Yiling Laozu the best ass he could

4. Shang Qinghua - his self insert character had to have some other good assets beside scheming, moderate but nice ass

6. Yue Qingyuan - Worked VERY hard to sculpt his ass, it's nothing grand but it's there

7. Mobei Jun - Tits are bigger

8. Lan Zhan - One of the rules is against a big ass

9. Hua Cheng - can't be considered flat but at the right angle his bones will dig into you (He can shape shift so technically he can be anyone on this list but this is his default)

10. Shen Qingqiu - There is nothing, Binghe slaps it like it's concrete

I know you said top 10, but I can only think about the main ones so it just turned to a list

trans woman: well before my egg cracked, [goes into explicit detail about the social and gender alienation she experienced and the background radiation of dysphoria that she did not realize was dysphoria and how it seeped into so much of her life]

some brain genius: well really this is so vague it could apply to anything. have you considered that we should encourage men to be gnc instead of transgender actually

Maybe I'm just pulling nonsense out of my ass but has anyone noticed that much of Vulcan philosophy/Suraks teachings are kind of just Buddhist religious teachings reskinned to remove the religions parts and made into an ~logical alien philosophy ~

For instance there are the Four Nobel truths

Existence is transient and not permanent. This causes pain

The pain is caused by attachments to the material world

This pain can be released by letting go of this attachment

Following the eight fold paths will help with the relasing of attachments and ending the pain

Which just seems like the Vulcan version of them not having attachments or whatever because it's illogical. And not expressing emptions because it's a worldy thing. Also seems like what Spock was seeking when he went to attempt Kolinahr (which to me just seems like becoming a buddhist monk tbh) and shedding all worldy desires

These are Eight fold paths we should follow

Right View: our actions have consequences, death is not the end (This is really similar to Vulcans Karta and their eternal souls)

Right Resolve: Strive toward non-violence and avoid violent and hateful conduct. Rnounce the worldly life and follow the Buddhist path (Accepting suraks teaching and following the path of logic and non violence, anyone?)

Right Speech: no lying, no abusive speech, no disive speech, no idle chatter (Vulcans can't lie, Vulcans don't gossip, no small talk etc)

Right Conduct or Action: no killing or injuring (They're pacifists)

Right Livelihood: no trading in weapons, living beings, meat, liquor, or poisons (Again pacifism and vegetarianism)

Right Effort: preventing the arising of unwholesome mental states (Eliminating harmful thoughts, intentions, and emotions before they arise, Vulcans do have emotions they just control them)

Right Mindfulness: never be absent minded, being conscious of what one is doing; this encourages the awareness of the impermanence of body, feeling and mind.

Right samadhi : practicing four stages of dhyāna "meditation", which reinforces the development of the mindfulness (Vulcan meditation)

Everything I listed fits very neatly into the Vuclan ideology that has been sprinkled through out Star Trek, and I know there's like no official canon texts on the teachings of Surak but Gene Roddenberry seems to have either been inspired by or heavily borrowing from Buddhist religious texts with all the similarities.
