the thing is that whats happening is really scary. not because everything is going to fall apart - he may do far less damage than we fear.
but because this outcome has people afraid for their lives and uncertain if they want to live. democracy should never leave such a large proportion of people fearful.
yes, there will always be people upset about the outcome of an election - usually around half. but there should never be people interested in harming others or constructing conspiracy theories, and absolutely never people interested in harming themselves.
American politics, radicalism and individualism has gone too far and its dangerous.
#NOTE this is a very western and privileged perspective - its completely different in countries with already hazardous political landscapes#im trying not to think or post about it#but i see SO MANY PEOPLE posting helplines#and messages of hope#as well as people confession that they are having suicidal thoughts after this#its terrifying#yes poltics has long beeen scary but now a global superpower??#its quite devastating#that a radical man has developed a cult following who overlook his criminal convictions#that people fear a 'leftist' opinion that is similarly progressive as our 'right wing' in aus#and a third of people didnt even vote. even though this might impact them#and will CERTAINLY impact people they know in some way#its just awful and tragic when you look at what happened#our brains like to imagine the worst case scenario#i struggle to believe that this term will be as bad as we fear#but i fear what this choice means for america#for politics#for the world#thank u for coming to my ted talk#us politics#american politics#us election#donald trump#kamala harris

Do you ever think about the fact that the ONE time Sanji let himself be comfortable and enjoy dresses and makeup with cigarettes, Ace died and Luffy almost died all alone and so far away. Will Sanji ever forgive himself for daring to relax and explore himself a bit while catastrophic things were happening? (Jk he'll never do so again, just in case)
#will he ever stop feeling like its his fault#it obviously wasn't but the feeling of guilt#and the feeling that the one time he explored himself it led to this#and the association#and he can never let himself be so weak again (thank you Judge for this nonsense)#add in the fact that Ace might've been his awakening#and they did get along quite well and he had a crush on Ace#it would be DEVASTATING#losing Ace#not even mentioning what Luffy must have gone through#the guilt of not being there with his captain of being split away from Saboady even#i love transfem sanji#but crossdressing sanji too my beloved#mayhaps the egg was beginning to crack but trauma closed it shut#and he spent two years not dealing with it well apart from gettung stronger and finding ways to help his crew get stronger#sanji#one piece#one piece headcanons#black leg sanji#blackleg sanji#portgas d ace#acesan#just a bit

LMAO YELLING!!! this is from diana wynne jones to her editor—
Dear Miriam, I have been on the phone to Terry Pratchett who sent me a rough draft of a story which is going to be very good, but he is very anxious to know at what stage in the process he actually gets the money.
#lmaooooooooooooo#dwj tag#dw tag#not really discworld specific but still#i KNEW they either loved each other or hated each other#i really could see them disliking each other. jones was prickly and pratchett was principled#jones would have maybe hated pratchetts hard lines (they have similar ethics but jones is Prickly about nuance)#and pratchett might have thought jones wasnt... hm. was too old school? thats not quite right. idk how to explain it.#but i assume he simply Devoured the tough guide to fantasyland#jones couldnt have written monstrous regiment#and pratchett couldnt have written witch week#i just think that they each might have been skeptical at the things the other was irreverent about.#now realistically talent appreciates talent. theyre both writing ~fantasy that isnt quite fantasy#and theyre both like yo fuck genre#its just that jones sits inside the atmosphere and is drily devastating about it#and pratchett dances outside of it taking potshots#very different vibes#you can also very much feel--imo--dwjs pain in her writing. im not saying pratchett didnt have trauma but you cant feel his as much.#his anger is just as personal but its not as Hurt.#also you can tell pratchett is an only child from his books and that dwj had Hella Siblings#thats minor but important

it's the day before my birthday, and my girlfriend surprised me with an outing to a local bird aviary/botanic gardens in the mountains!!!
this was an absolute delight for me, known bird enjoyer, and i got to have many cute and phenomenal birds perched on my head (which i loved and plushie magolor 'tolerated', on account of it being my birthday). i even got to see a nicobar pigeon, which i had never seen in person before!
they also surprised me with an early birthday present to use at the incredible mountain-top picnic spread my gf planned (😭😭) of this extraordinarily cute kirby themed liquid-glitter cup!!
and of course, in true starflung fashion i injured myself twice
once, not three minutes into the outing when my umbrella (which i only require because i'm allergic to both the sun and sunscreen) bit me, and my gf had to run to reception to get me a bandaid. later, when i just totally fkn stacked it on some loose gravel on a slope and i got the umbrella back by slamming it into the ground, along with my knees and one palm. but not the other palm, which was holding plushie magolor, who touched neither gravel nor dirt and never will while i still breathe!
#i am so accident prone and also stupidly fragile in every way. but i'm fine and i found both of these incidents hilarious!#i feel it is important that everybody know that my mum (who has dementia but recognises plushie magolor) asked “is that magolor” when-#she saw meta knight on the cup. i said “no that's meta knight” and she replied “oh i should have known. he's not as cute as magolor.”#and magolor's ego grew THREE TIMES that day let me tell you#the cup is also extremely important as a gift actually. i recently accidentally smashed a childhood glitter cup i've had my whole life#i adored it to bits; comfort item; it had toucans on it. i was quite devastated when it broke#but it's been impossible to replace (despite my gf's best efforts) and we knew no substitute would really hit the same.#but THIS is similar enough yet different enough and so *perfect* in its own right that it really... fills the spot.#my gf is phenomenal at gifts and surprises. truly she is unfathomable. i am so spoiled 🥺#7inch plushie magolor return to dreamland#he does have other bows btw!! he's been dressing up for halloween and christmas and such but this is his Party Bow!#starflungs personal tag

honestly a little betrayed by the gwitch fanart scene. the shippy art is alright. yes. but suletta is literally like made to be one of those characters fanartists draw like shes being displayed in the sistine chapel through like 3 layers of symbolism. do you hear me. the red:birthmark ed was my 9/11.
#g witch#gundam#witch from mercury#suletta mercury#cyg speaks#post i reblogged before related. mulling it over in my brain#gwitch spoilers#like. obviously the bloodied hands from ep12. but like. the child laughter in all the scenes when aerial is being fucked up.#datastorm space in general. the scene where she is quite literally hallucinating a memory of eri's#if not her own in a way's death as elnora is hunched over her crying and tracing her tiny features.#the insane fetal imagery symbolism that could arise out of that.#the intense need to be needed and how if something goes wrong that its her fault that shapes her relationship with EVERYBODY.#ESPECIALLY HER. AND HER MOM.#devastating character. honestly. normallest girl of alllll fucking time

first ep of g gundam is wild to watch having just finished rewatching giant robo. the police chief guy speaks abt the gundam fight the same way everyone in GR speaks of the tragedy of bashtarle, like its some biblical-level apocalyptic event brought down upon the earth yet again. domon’s this Mysterious guy who doesn’t say shit and has an inexplicable title and powers like the celestial nine or the magnificent ten. the gundams themselves are framed like these haunting, massive terrors hidden in shadow and the red sky. it ends with the line “this is going to be one of those awful years”!!!!! i can only imagine watching this in 1994 and being like oohhhhhhhhhhhh this is gonna be another imagawa cinematic reckoning with The Earth And Its People however then the next episode preview introduces you to Chibodee Crocket. LMFAO
#obviously g gundam is both silly and quite genuine ofc but its wild imo cause the first episode is SO serious. like i forgot how serious it#was considering in the later episodes you get shit like Domon Versus A Tree (the tree wins) and Clown PTSD 😭😭😭#g gundam is equally devastating in its own way (i Will sob at the halfway point again i just know it) but still 😭#a: g gundam#a: giant robo#t.txt

it’s about the shift between meeting them and discovering their youth and their shyness and Romeo saying “I wish I was your bird” and Juliet saying “I can’t remember why I came back” (because she can’t handle looking in his eyes) and Romeo saying “I’ll just stay here forever looking at you until you remember it” and then suddenly remembering the gut punch of the prologue and the ending
#if some random tv showrunner decided to tell this story of two teenagers who kill themselves#because they think they can’t live without each other tbh it would NOt be valid#it takes a master to pull it off without glamorizing or degrading#but Shakespeare is quite literally the master. and the play hits exactly as hard as it should#anyway this is my 4th time teaching it and my 6th time reading it and one of its most powerful qualities#is that you FORGET the ending#like. there is something in the dialogue/story/humor wipes the ending out of your mind#and it just …. it never feels possible. it feels like the farthest thing#and there’s even foreshadowing! and predictions but you don’t feel it#you just feel the sunshine of it and the jokes and the shy teenagers and the crass servants#and then on the OTHER side the clumsy almost grotesque violence of the feud and emotionally you’re just like ‘whatever’#and then suddenly the end of the play hits and it is this EXPLOSION of almost accidental violence#hamlet ends in an explosion of violence but you know it’s coming. it’s inevitable almost#Romeo and Juliet it just …. falls out of the sky#and it is devastating#anyway re-tellings of Romeo and Juliet should change the ending actually#if you’re not Shakespeare make it happy actually#anyway#romeo and juliet#Shakespeare

#but im blessed in so many diffrnt ways so im rly trying to not focus on that but#every once n awhile it just lays on me heavy and i get a lil pensive n melancholy for a while but other than that its not like#too devastating.... its just so sad bc i can like..... feel the potential#like i have soooooo much love to give and im such a lovergirl and i have no girlies to loveeeeeeee like that#also pls pls pls dont take this as me begging for attention bc i honestly dont think itll happen anyway thats not what i want#i dont want ppl pitying me or like tryng to be my friends/having expectations like that bc#im also like...... idk im just looking for that special connection that rarely happens u kno#like ofc i have lots of girls i like but its diff when u have that special connection#ive always felt a hollow part of me where a best friend is meant to be#idk maybe this will just come off as like.... dissing every girl friend i already have lmao like im so sorry.........#that is not my intention but also i think every girl im close with on here also understands where im at with this#hopefully..#and it is quite literally me not you not to be cliche#its honestly more of a problem of me not being willing to open up n stuff tbh#and im just too honest and like upfront abt my opinions and i feel like... that maybe makes it harder to relate to others as well

semi-au where chay doesn't show up at Kim's place to sing to him so when Kim meets up with him after tasking him with writing a love song and asks to hear his progress chay looks him in the eye and chirps 'sure p'kim!'
and then proceeds to sing sara bareilles' Love Song
all of it
Kim rolls his eyes and figures he'll stop after the first chorus but no, this pain in the ass keeps eye contact as he sings the whole. damn. song.
and then he grins at Kim like the little shit he is.
'well p'kim? did you like it?'
it's at this point Kim realises two things
1. chay is a gremlin
2. Kim is so gone for him its raced past funny and straight into terrifying
Kim doesn't get a chance to speak before there's a knock at the door and chay flounce off with an unmistakable air of smugness. Kim doesn't even take a second to panic before looking around for something to write his excuses on before he ghosts his way out of chays life just as quickly as he'd entered it.
just so long as nothing terrible happens within the next few minutes...
#kinnporsche#kinnporsche the series#op#kimchay#kimporchay#kimché#i hold the firm and unshakeable belief that chay will be a shit at the slightest opportunity#its a kind of mischief honed from years of being a younger brother#also immediately after this chay gets kidnapped and kim loses his shit#and everything is the same except theres a little more sara bareilles#also chay didnt pour his heart out in song so maybe the breakup isnt quite so bad?#like hes still devastated but at least he didnt give kim that as well#and then months later he posts his song on youtube as a cover and kim#who obsessively watches his videos#recognises it for what it is#and comes begging for chay to take him back now hes realised not only does he love chay but chay loves or at least loved him#idk its 2am and im listening to sara bareilles so take whatever this is

i hate myself cos ill go be mad at sso for something and then I'll see yall being mad at the exact same thing in a perfectly civilised manner and I'll internally just go "FUCK man whys everyone so negative i need to get off this site"... like ok first of all why dont you go investigate that negativity within YOURSELF first buddy (directed at myself)
#this is a weird post I truly know that#I got some quite frankly devastating personal news last night#and have entered a state of some terrible depression/grief cocktail#it's got me TRULY off the rails I'm in between ''don't know what to do with myself'' and ''most functional I've been in months''#z talks#I'm gonna be fine like... probably... its just a weird bad time and I wanna cry a lot but also can't#I'm a full grown adult. When am I going to stop venting on the internet
