#it’s so fucking depressing

One of the things that hurts the most about luffy and usopp’s argument before their fight is how they were very clearly having two different arguments.

Luffy was arguing from the position of captain about the ability of the ship and safety of the crew. He’d made the decision to leave the merry after seeing how hurt usopp was and knew they had to leave her behind specifically for the sake of the crew— for the sake of usopp. He tried to explain his decision. One of the hardest decisions he’d had to make. But he couldn’t get Usopp to understand. And when he realized that the argument had gone too far (thanks to sanji resetting his brain with a kick) he stopped and apologized cus he knew the crew was the most important thing to him.

Usopp was arguing from the position of a man on his last leg about his own usefulness. He and the merry joined the crew at the same time. He’d been her primary caretaker. In his mind, if the merry could be left behind, so could he. His pride was hurt, his self worth whittled down to nothing, and his time with his friends coming to an end. He shot down luffy’s apology and left because, to him, the argument wasn’t an argument. It was judgement on his own usefulness coming from his best friend.

It just hurts to realize the arguments luffy and usopp had were so fundamentally different there wasn’t any way for a peaceful resolution to be reached. Not when luffy needed his crew and usopp needed a purpose.

I keep watching urbex videos exploring abandoned malls and I believe in my heart and soul that one of the ways malls could save themselves from certain death is by giving up the Corporate Beige Plague interior design and go back to 80/90s and early 2000s designs

Checkerboard, mirror ceilings/walls, NEONS FOR FUCKS SAKE IM BEGGING YOU, wood paneling, fun carpeting, funky colorful little designs, that whimsical fake Art Deco vibe cinemas used to have, etc

Bring back the excitement and visual attraction of the malls please for the love of god

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

"I don't want to see anyone blaming abstaining voters for this!"

Of course you don't. The entire idea of abstaining was that you could pretend this didn't involve you. Not getting blamed was more important to you than doing any kind of damage control, more important than protecting any of the people you said you wanted to protect. And in this moment, I don't really care what you want. Of course, this isn't entirely your fault. Of course other people made this worse. But if you're going to pretend you had nothing to do with this, forgive me if I ignore you.

I need Battison to have a Robin.

I need him to carry around a little bundle of joy in his arms. I need him to risk his life saving him from the movie’s big bad. I need him to hold his tiny hands or cradle his tiny face. I need him to crack the smallest of smiles when Robin makes a pun.

I need him to walk into the penthouse, tired and angry and sad, and see his little Robin sprawled across the floor, giggling as his crayons draw him and Alfie and B—their little family.

I him to crawl out of the darkness with Robin. His Robin.

Dick, after Tim nearly sacrificing himself Again: Tim .... you know we care about you... right?

Tim: That's strange...

Jason, was eavesdropping: What is?

Tim, blandly: The data does Not support that

Dick: Wha..?

Tim, pulling out a PowerPoint full of wacky transitions and clashing colours, titled "Evidence That Tim Drake Does Not Matter": Alright, do you want all the evidence starting with my parents or just what's relevant to the bat clan only?

Jason: Jesus, replacement.... please send this PowerPoint to a therapist and get so much help

Damian: Drake! Why is Richard crying?? What is this trash?

a moment of silence for all us disabled ones who had to watch each of their friends move on with their lives without you and get jobs, go to school, have partners come and go, get engaged and move house etc.

shout out to my fellow struggling people who are still sitting in the same bedroom they grew up in. the ones who can't get a job, can't make new friends, can't find a partner or partners, can't move house and can't go to school.

I hope one day we can all find someone to at least sit with us in our rooms. I see you and I understand... and I'm sorry we can't be that person for each other

the “pressure is kind of my thing” quote from riz being a reply to his mother as he tries to keep a smile on his face as his mom explains their bleak financial situation and how a perfect gpa still probably won’t be enough to get into higher education in the face of a world in which knowledge is paywalled is another type of heartbreaking
