Shocker of shockers, but the folks who know salmon seasons, know where the watering holes and rivers are, know how to grow crops with little to no annual rainfall or irrigation, built sturdy homes that weathered well, know how local animals sound and how to imitate them and hunt them effectively, could tell nutritious roots from deadly poisons, could make life-saving poultices from plants that seem innocuous to the untrained eye, whose ancestors lived there thousands and thousands of years just might, you know, maybe, possibly, small chance, just uh, theoretically speaking, know a thing or two about how to live and, furthermore, not die, in their own homelands. You know. Just saying. Maybe. Just a thought. Just throwing it out there.
#the more history I learn the more bizarre the doctrine of discovery and white man's burden and all that bullshit is#like not only is it evil#it's incredibly confusing#we really thought-#no. not thought. people still think this.#we really think we know better because we learned how to make steel before them#and because we have guns#we really think that those two things make us the only people with brains?#and we still think that even after the numerous times we would have starved here if people didn't take pity on us?#we still think that after the donner party were given deer to eat but shot at the people who offered it#then proceeded to ignore the deer and continue being cannibals?#we really think we're smarter?#not to like. 'noble savage' everything though#just trying to emphasize that indigenous people are people#and like all people they're on the whole pretty brilliant#with moments of failures moments of stupidity of cruelty etc people are imperfect and perfection doesn't exist#I guess what I'm saying isn't 'these people are so noble' but 'these people are good and decent'...#...and when compared to uh. you know. conquistadors and 'explorers' and whatnot...#'good and decent' looks pretty gosh darn noble

Good reveal au, where after learning phantom's identity and realizing the atrocities that the GIW have committed (or alternatively, ethical science au, where they find out the GIW plagarized them), the fenton parents decided to create the 'ultimate ghost-ending weapon' and sell it to the agents.
They go absolutely overboard, describing to the agents in meticulous detail how it evaporates any ghost it hits near-instantly and describing it quite ruthlessly in the blueprints, and soon the GIW have raplaced all their main weapons with the new gun.
Except it doesn't actually kill ghosts. It's the Fenton Bazooka. You know, the one that creates a portable portal to suck the ghost back into the ghost zone? What they actually did was retool it slightly to make it look more grusome than it actually is. They even added a beacon in Phantom's Keep, which all Fenton Bazookas will target when they open a portal, so the ghosts are always delivered to the keep.
From there, Phantom stationed an emergency medical team at the keep to treat the many injured and ragged ghosts that the GIW 'destroyed,' and to explain what just happened.
What they didn't anticipate was that now that the GIW have a mass-produced weapon that they believed would effectively eradicate ghosts, they would go on the offensive. They have a number of cities they've been monitoring but didn't want to get involved in without better tools.
One of those cities is Gotham.
And the Bats are ectocontaminated enough to register as ghosts.
Batman witnessed several of his children get evaporated by green energy weapons within mere moments of each other. He's absolutely gutted. Devastated. They didn’t even stand a chance.
He'll get his revenge, and it's frighteningly easy to track the weapon to private subcontractors. The Doctors Fenton, in Illinois. Their research calls for the genocide of all ghost kind, and apparently, that war started by killing his own children.
His children will not die in vain.
He gets to Amity Park and finds the Engineer's Nightmare of a building that is Fentonworks, but that night, before he can hack through the security and break in, one of the windows opens.
It's one of his kids that he had watched evaporate before his very eyes. They give him a silent signal of one of their identifying security codes and gesture for him to come inside.
Is it a trap? A prank in poor taste? Utterly genuine?
He goes through the window.
All of his dead kids are there, wearing borrowed pajamas and only their dominoes to conceal their identities. Daniel Fenton (son of the Fentons, this is his bedroom, has voiced a few arguments against his parent's views, but still an unknown) is among the crowd of teens and young adults, twirling on an office chair and obnoxiously sipping a capri sun.
"First thing you need to know, Bats," Daniel says after finishing his drink, "is that my parents are absolutely NOT genocidal ectophobic scumbags, and that is the reason why your kids are still alive."
#the bats are not the first human liminals that the giw 'killed'#whenever humans land in the keep frostbite immediates calls phantom to take them back to earth#alternate scene at fentonworks:#bruce spies maddie on the phone and overhears her saying she'll 'inform batman when he arrives'#its frostbite/phantom on the phone telling her to keep an eye out for any bats because some of their team was 'killed'#and shortly after she spots batman spying on her and gestures for him to come in#and when theyre both in the lab the spectre speeder returns chock full of various bats and team phantom members#needless to say bruce is very relieved and incredibly confused#and his kids have a pretty wild story to tell#i deliberately left which kids vague#but i imagined jason and tim for sure and possibly two others#they hadnt left fentonworks yet as to not inform the giw that they survived and knowing that bruce would find them#it would also give away the fenton's trick and dont want to reveal that before the agency has been stopped#so they have to make a plan that doesnt reveal that theyre alive or expose the fentons deceit too quickly#the fentons may have to be temporarily arrested by the justice league while the investigation is ongoing#to hide the fact that they werent actually helping the giw#dpxdc#dp x dc

Gideon would not be some suave fuckboy picking up chicks like skittles and somehow having Harrow as the person that settles her--Gideon has been starving for home and belonging since before she was born, Gideon doesn't know how to interact with strangers even if she barks out something aggressive or recites some line she's read, Gideon nearly blacks out when a girl she finds pretty implies the most minuscule of interest in her.
Gideon is also, without question, submissive when it comes to her relationships, and while she spits like a startled cat at Harrow (rightfully so, I will point out, as their relationship before Canaan House was violent and cruel and oppressive), she responds immediately and desperately to even the faintest taste of approval.
Even when we're in her head, even when we see her make some brazen statement or thought, even when she lashes out and tries to be bigger and bolder than she feels, we still see how awkward she is. She's an unsocialized teenager without peers. She's an absolute mess with no experience. She's the isolated teen who learned everything from material marked as too explicit for her a bit too young and took the scripts of them and then nearly choked on the reality of talking to a pretty girl who wasn't beating the shit out of her in a circumstance she could rightfully resent.
She sat there wanting Harrow to kiss her so bad, Nona dipped down to offer her relief that fell hollow as soon as Gideon knew it wasn't from her morbid mistress of bones. She's a performative little shit. An anxious, floundering, helpless butch who is quite literally dying to have someone use her, want her, and who doesn't know what to do with it other than artlessly throw up her feathers.
#now HARROW#what holds Harrow back is being an incredibly repressed nun who needs to feel 'inspired' in some way to act#but she WILL act#and I don't even think she questions it a lot#she's had people hyping her up her whole life and I think her confusion with romance is less about feeling insecure#and more about feeling undeserving due to the nature of what she has cost and what her responsibilities are#gideon nav#tlt

More of Eramis experiencing being treated fairly, thinks it's all a heinous trick.
Girl.
Crab confronted with the reality that humans are not all evil, contrary to the indoctrination by the Witness and hundreds of years of animosity between us, ends up confused, convinced this is an elaborate trick to kill her. More at 11.
#destiny 2#destiny 2 spoilers#revenant#revenant spoilers#eramis#this is the funniest thing they've done#she's so confused#to be clear it makes sense that she doesn't trust us but also the way it's presented it incredibly funny#she's describing it like she's being tortured but she's just being given help and advice and counsel and therapy#like we clearly care for her wellbeing despite everything and she thinks she's about to be executed. help meeee#long post

modern AU thistle & yaad. they have a complicated relationship
in this AU, thistle was formally adopted by freinag melini and is yaad's (grand) uncle. he talked yaad into joining his band/catharsis engine, so after school a couple nights a week yaad is ferried over to do stage setup (and 100 other random tasks thistle gives him) at whatever venue or dive bar the winged lion booked them at. umm this probably counts as an extracurricular activity, so it's fine!
#thistle#thistle dungeon meshi#yaad melini#the winged lion#dungeon meshi#∞#yaad's friends get incredibly confused whenever he talks about his uncle#they have a strange mental image of him LOL#yaad's uncle is: rly old. in a band that plays in venues that wont let us in. strict and stuffy. beefing with scary people all across town#my art

Need to see more fics where Spock finds out about Kirk’s terrible childhood and is just dumbfounded.
In Vulcan society the idea of inflicting physical abuse upon one’s child is unheard of. Utterly illogical. So after Spock learns about Kirk's shitty stepfather, he has a crisis trying to comprehend the idea that a parent would hurt a child and also that someone would hurt his husband. From then on anytime Jim makes a joke about his abuse he notices that Spock tenses and gets angry and he's just like "???" and then later in the quiet of their quarters Spock just softly tells him that he'd murder Kirk's stepfather if he ever came across him. Kirk is half freaked-out, half touched at the sentiment.
I think this also goes for any other Vulcans hearing the idea of child abuse, if they were to overhear a conversation between humans being like “Yeah I remember when I broke the screen of my Dad’s new tv and he hit me so hard I think I blacked out haha” “that’s nothing compared to the time I told my mother to her face that I hated her cooking, she brought out the chancla on my ass lol” the Vulcans would just be downright horrified and spread this news back to other Vulcans about how savage some human parents can truly be and soon enough any human who mentions any type of violence in their childhood is receiving the highest level of comfort Vulcans can offer to a stranger: A hand to the shoulder and intense eye contact 😐🖖

[ID: a digital redraw of the scene where chuuya shoots dazai in the shoulder. on the top of the drawing is chuuya holding a guy to dazai's head in the red and grey hallways of the prison. on the bottom of the drawing is dazai's pained face. the gunshot is shown stylistically as hectic lines behind his bloody shoulder. over the image is half a quote from goncharov that reads 'if we really were in love you wouldn't have missed.' the signature says dandelion-roots. end ID]
This quote from Goncharov (1973) in relation to soukoku has been haunting me from before I even got to that scene in the anime (the full thing is: Katya- Of course we're in love, that's why I tried to shoot you/ Goncharov- If we really were in love you wouldn't have missed). Violence as a tool for communicating emotions, especially love and hatred, especially love and hatred makes me go feral- how could I not think of the iconic quote that says that katya's miss was a sign of a lack of love/a fake love when chuuya didn't miss? Just... losing it over here.

Making Sense Of Shermie's Age
Ok so you know how the whole fandom is like boggling their minds over Shermie's age?
well atleast from what I've seen lol
Let's say that when Stan gets kicked out, he's arund 17-19 (we're going with 17 for this one), and with Shermie being just a wee baby in A Tale Of Two Stans, it's a little problematic when realising his age when he had a kid
but since both the twins (Stan and Ford) are "pushing 70" that would mean they're around their mid-to-late 60's
And if we were to assume that Stan was 17 when he got kicked out, and once again assuming that the twins are 65 at their youngest, then that would make Shermie 48.
If both generations had their kids at 18, then that'd make sense with the timeline, but that's assuming that's the twins at their youngest
If it were 19 and 69, Shermie would be 50
Making either one generation have kids at 20 while one has one at 18, or both generations having kids at 19
At worst,
19 and 65, Shermie would be 46.
Which would make both generations 17 when they had kid/s
anyway thats it, thanks for reading my hopefully comprehensible ramblings about Shermie's age LMAOO
#gravity falls#shermie pines#sherman pines#stanley pines#stan pines#stanford pines#ford pines#incredibly un-nuerotypical ramblings#doing this instead of studying#or assignments#pines twins#saw a bunch of really confusing info on Shermie's age so i decided to do this#also its been a while since i saw the episode so pls forgive me if i missed an important detail lolll#i got bored
