Steve is most likely to end up in a lavender marriage and Tony's most likely to end up in a “married for tax/immigration/inheritance fraud” reasons.
They meet as married men and pine for each other hardcore and are also trying not to read too much into how their interest seems reciprocated and oh nooooo both Immigration/the IRS and the the Church/in-laws/DADT era army dudes or whatever are snooping around at the same time at each of their marriages and they have to be so good at being married at the people they are married to oh noooooo and they other guy doesn’t know why they are suddenly being iced out and maybe they were just imagining things? maybe it’s for the best with all these eyes around on them…

Can a Bank Seize Your Assets for Unpaid Personal Loans?
Tumblr media
A personal loan is an unsecured loan, meaning it does not require collateral. However, failing to repay the loan on time can have serious consequences, including legal action, asset seizure, and credit damage. Many borrowers worry whether banks can seize their assets if they default on a personal loan.
In this article, we will explore what happens when you fail to repay a personal loan, whether banks can legally seize your assets, and what steps you can take to avoid loan default consequences.
1. Can Banks Seize Your Assets for an Unpaid Personal Loan?
Since personal loans are unsecured, banks cannot directly seize your assets like they can with a secured loan (e.g., home loan or car loan). However, if you continuously default, banks may take legal action to recover their money, which could eventually lead to asset seizure under court orders.
Here’s how it works:
If you miss a few EMIs, the bank will send you reminders via calls, emails, and letters.
If you continue defaulting, the bank may report the default to the credit bureau and initiate a loan recovery process.
If the bank fails to recover the loan amount, they may take legal action under the SARFAESI Act, Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), or Civil Court.
If the court rules in the bank’s favor, the lender may get approval to seize your assets to recover the unpaid amount.
Although banks cannot seize assets directly, prolonged defaults may lead to legal enforcement and eventual asset attachment by the court.
2. What Happens When You Default on a Personal Loan?
Failing to repay your personal loan can lead to the following consequences:
2.1. Late Payment Fees and Penalties
Banks charge late payment fees if you miss EMI payments. The penalty amount depends on the lender’s policy and the delay period.
2.2. Negative Impact on Credit Score
When you default on a loan, the lender reports the missed payments to credit bureaus (CIBIL, Experian, etc.). This lowers your credit score, making it difficult to get future loans or credit cards.
2.3. Legal Action by the Bank
If you fail to repay the loan even after multiple reminders, the bank may:
Issue a legal notice demanding payment.
File a civil suit in court or approach the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT).
Seek a court order for repayment or asset attachment.
2.4. Asset Seizure via Court Orders
Although banks cannot directly seize assets for an unsecured personal loan, they can:
File a lawsuit and obtain a court ruling for repayment.
If the borrower ignores the court ruling, the court may allow asset attachment or wage garnishment.
3. When Can a Bank Seize Your Assets?
A bank can only seize assets in the following cases:
3.1. If the Loan is Secured with Collateral
If your loan is a secured personal loan (e.g., gold loan, loan against property, or fixed deposit loan), the bank has the legal right to seize the pledged asset if you default.
3.2. If the Bank Gets a Court Order for Asset Attachment
For unsecured personal loans, banks cannot seize assets directly. However, they can:
Take legal action and obtain a court order.
If the borrower fails to comply, the court may allow asset attachment to recover dues.
3.3. If a Guarantor is Involved
If someone co-signed your loan as a guarantor, the bank can demand repayment from the guarantor and take legal action if they also fail to pay.
4. How to Avoid Loan Default and Asset Seizure?
If you are struggling to repay your loan, here are some steps you can take to prevent legal action and asset seizure:
4.1. Contact the Bank Immediately
If you are unable to pay your EMIs, inform your bank as soon as possible. Many banks offer:
Loan restructuring (adjusting EMI amounts)
Temporary EMI moratoriums
Flexible repayment plans
4.2. Request a Loan Settlement
If you are in serious financial distress, you can request a one-time settlement where the bank agrees to reduce the outstanding amount in exchange for a lump sum payment. However, this may negatively impact your credit score.
4.3. Refinance or Balance Transfer Your Loan
If you find it difficult to repay your current loan, consider:
Refinancing with another lender offering lower interest rates.
Transferring your balance to a lender with better repayment options.
🔗 Check Balance Transfer Options:
IDFC First Bank Personal Loan
Axis Bank Personal Loan
4.4. Avoid Taking Multiple Loans
Taking multiple loans at once can increase your financial burden, making it harder to manage EMIs. Always borrow within your repayment capacity.
4.5. Consider Debt Consolidation
If you have multiple loans, you can consolidate them into one lower-interest loan. This helps in managing EMIs efficiently.
🔗 Explore Personal Loan Consolidation Options:
Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan
Tata Capital Personal Loan
5. Legal Rights of Borrowers in Case of Loan Default
If you default on a loan, you still have legal rights under consumer protection laws:
5.1. Banks Cannot Harass Borrowers
The RBI guidelines prohibit banks from using abusive or threatening language for loan recovery.
Borrowers can file a complaint with RBI if they face harassment from recovery agents.
5.2. Right to Fair Loan Recovery Process
The bank must notify you in advance before taking legal action.
If you receive a legal notice, you have the right to seek legal assistance before responding.
5.3. Right to Settle Loans Amicably
Borrowers can negotiate with the bank for loan restructuring or settlement options before legal action is taken.
How to Protect Yourself from Loan Default Risks
While personal loans are unsecured, defaulting on payments can lead to serious consequences such as credit damage, legal action, and potential asset seizure through court orders. To avoid this:
✅ Always borrow within your repayment capacity. ✅ Stay updated on your loan terms and repayment schedule. ✅ Contact your bank if you face financial difficulties. ✅ Consider balance transfers or loan restructuring if needed. ✅ Understand your legal rights against unfair loan recovery practices.

“If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing”
Tumblr media
20 years ago, I got in a (friendly) public spat with Chris Anderson, who was then the editor in chief of Wired. I'd publicly noted my disappointment with glowing Wired reviews of DRM-encumbered digital devices, prompting Anderson to call me unrealistic for expecting the magazine to condemn gadgets for their DRM:
https://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/2004/12/is_drm_evil.html
I replied in public, telling him that he'd misunderstood. This wasn't an issue of ideological purity – it was about good reviewing practice. Wired was telling readers to buy a product because it had features x, y and z, but at any time in the future, without warning, without recourse, the vendor could switch off any of those features:
https://memex.craphound.com/2004/12/29/cory-responds-to-wired-editor-on-drm/
I proposed that all Wired endorsements for DRM-encumbered products should come with this disclaimer:
WARNING: THIS DEVICE’S FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE, ACCORDING TO TERMS SET OUT IN SECRET NEGOTIATIONS. YOUR INVESTMENT IS CONTINGENT ON THE GOODWILL OF THE WORLD’S MOST PARANOID, TECHNOPHOBIC ENTERTAINMENT EXECS. THIS DEVICE AND DEVICES LIKE IT ARE TYPICALLY USED TO CHARGE YOU FOR THINGS YOU USED TO GET FOR FREE — BE SURE TO FACTOR IN THE PRICE OF BUYING ALL YOUR MEDIA OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AT NO TIME IN HISTORY HAS ANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY GOTTEN A SWEET DEAL LIKE THIS FROM THE ELECTRONICS PEOPLE, BUT THIS TIME THEY’RE GETTING A TOTAL WALK. HERE, PUT THIS IN YOUR MOUTH, IT’LL MUFFLE YOUR WHIMPERS.
Wired didn't take me up on this suggestion.
But I was right. The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations. Inkjet printers were always a sleazy business, but once these printers got directly connected to the internet, companies like HP started pushing out "security updates" that modified your printer to make it reject the third-party ink you'd paid for:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/ink-stained-wretches-battle-soul-digital-freedom-taking-place-inside-your-printer
Now, this scam wouldn't work if you could just put things back the way they were before the "update," which is where the DRM comes in. A thicket of IP laws make reverse-engineering DRM-encumbered products into a felony. Combine always-on network access with indiscriminate criminalization of user modification, and the enshittification will follow, as surely as night follows day.
This is the root of all the right to repair shenanigans. Sure, companies withhold access to diagnostic codes and parts, but codes can be extracted and parts can be cloned. The real teeth in blocking repair comes from the law, not the tech. The company that makes McDonald's wildly unreliable McFlurry machines makes a fortune charging franchisees to fix these eternally broken appliances. When a third party threatened this racket by reverse-engineering the DRM that blocked independent repair, they got buried in legal threats:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/20/euthanize-rentier-enablers/#cold-war
Everybody loves this racket. In Poland, a team of security researchers at the OhMyHack conference just presented their teardown of the anti-repair features in NEWAG Impuls locomotives. NEWAG boobytrapped their trains to try and detect if they've been independently serviced, and to respond to any unauthorized repairs by bricking themselves:
https://mamot.fr/@[email protected]/111528162905209453
Poland is part of the EU, meaning that they are required to uphold the provisions of the 2001 EU Copyright Directive, including Article 6, which bans this kind of reverse-engineering. The researchers are planning to present their work again at the Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg this month – Germany is also a party to the EUCD. The threat to researchers from presenting this work is real – but so is the threat to conferences that host them:
https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/researchers-face-legal-threats-over-sdmi-hack/
20 years ago, Chris Anderson told me that it was unrealistic to expect tech companies to refuse demands for DRM from the entertainment companies whose media they hoped to play. My argument – then and now – was that any tech company that sells you a gadget that can have its features revoked is defrauding you. You're paying for x, y and z – and if they are contractually required to remove x and y on demand, they are selling you something that you can't rely on, without making that clear to you.
But it's worse than that. When a tech company designs a device for remote, irreversible, nonconsensual downgrades, they invite both external and internal parties to demand those downgrades. Like Pavel Chekov says, a phaser on the bridge in Act I is going to go off by Act III. Selling a product that can be remotely, irreversibly, nonconsensually downgraded inevitably results in the worst person at the product-planning meeting proposing to do so. The fact that there are no penalties for doing so makes it impossible for the better people in that meeting to win the ensuing argument, leading to the moral injury of seeing a product you care about reduced to a pile of shit:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/25/moral-injury/#enshittification
But even if everyone at that table is a swell egg who wouldn't dream of enshittifying the product, the existence of a remote, irreversible, nonconsensual downgrade feature makes the product vulnerable to external actors who will demand that it be used. Back in 2022, Adobe informed its customers that it had lost its deal to include Pantone colors in Photoshop, Illustrator and other "software as a service" packages. As a result, users would now have to start paying a monthly fee to see their own, completed images. Fail to pay the fee and all the Pantone-coded pixels in your artwork would just show up as black:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/28/fade-to-black/#trust-the-process
Adobe blamed this on Pantone, and there was lots of speculation about what had happened. Had Pantone jacked up its price to Adobe, so Adobe passed the price on to its users in the hopes of embarrassing Pantone? Who knows? Who can know? That's the point: you invested in Photoshop, you spent money and time creating images with it, but you have no way to know whether or how you'll be able to access those images in the future. Those terms can change at any time, and if you don't like it, you can go fuck yourself.
These companies are all run by CEOs who got their MBAs at Darth Vader University, where the first lesson is "I have altered the deal, pray I don't alter it further." Adobe chose to design its software so it would be vulnerable to this kind of demand, and then its customers paid for that choice. Sure, Pantone are dicks, but this is Adobe's fault. They stuck a KICK ME sign to your back, and Pantone obliged.
This keeps happening and it's gonna keep happening. Last week, Playstation owners who'd bought (or "bought") Warner TV shows got messages telling them that Warner had walked away from its deal to sell videos through the Playstation store, and so all the videos they'd paid for were going to be deleted forever. They wouldn't even get refunds (to be clear, refunds would also be bullshit – when I was a bookseller, I didn't get to break into your house and steal the books I'd sold you, not even if I left some cash on your kitchen table).
Sure, Warner is an unbelievably shitty company run by the single most guillotineable executive in all of Southern California, the loathsome David Zaslav, who oversaw the merger of Warner with Discovery. Zaslav is the creep who figured out that he could make more money cancelling completed movies and TV shows and taking a tax writeoff than he stood to make by releasing them:
https://aftermath.site/there-is-no-piracy-without-ownership
Imagine putting years of your life into making a program – showing up on set at 5AM and leaving your kids to get their own breakfast, performing stunts that could maim or kill you, working 16-hour days during the acute phase of the covid pandemic and driving home in the night, only to have this absolute turd of a man delete the program before anyone could see it, forever, to get a minor tax advantage. Talk about moral injury!
But without Sony's complicity in designing a remote, irreversible, nonconsensual downgrade feature into the Playstation, Zaslav's war on art and creative workers would be limited to material that hadn't been released yet. Thanks to Sony's awful choices, David Zaslav can break into your house, steal your movies – and he doesn't even have to leave a twenty on your kitchen table.
The point here – the point I made 20 years ago to Chris Anderson – is that this is the foreseeable, inevitable result of designing devices for remote, irreversible, nonconsensual downgrades. Anyone who was paying attention should have figured that out in the GW Bush administration. Anyone who does this today? Absolute flaming garbage.
Sure, Zaslav deserves to be staked out over an anthill and slathered in high-fructose corn syrup. But save the next anthill for the Sony exec who shipped a product that would let Zaslav come into your home and rob you. That piece of shit knew what they were doing and they did it anyway. Fuck them. Sideways. With a brick.
Meanwhile, the studios keep making the case for stealing movies rather than paying for them. As Tyler James Hill wrote: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing":

To quote myself, imagine if you bought a pocket calculator at the store in 1980, and then in 1981 Texas Instruments sent you a letter saying, "The terms of use for our calculator have changed, in order to use the calculator you agree to waive any right to a jury trial or class action suit against Texas Instruments or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Continued use of the calculator constituted a binding agreement to these terms. If you do not agree you must immediately stop all use of your pocket calculator. No refund will be provided."
Seriously, writing that out really made it strike me even more how utterly abusive the modern age is to consumers.
The EULA, or End User License Agreement is a binding contract which one party may unilaterally change at any time for any reason and in any way they choose; the counterparty may not negotiate or change the terms of the contract and their only remedy in the case of changes that they don't like is to withdraw entirely from the contract.
Such contracts govern all use of software, which, since software governs the majority of our lives, mean that they now govern the majority of our lives.
Want to order a pizza? Better send the legal contract with the pizza company to the lawyer you keep on retainer and after looking over the documents he'll advise you on the legal ramifications of the pizza transaction.
Oh, you don't keep a lawyer on hand to advise you about ordering pizza or playing video games?
Well, then you can't complain if you don't like something buried in page 20 of the contract you signed with the pizza delivery company.
One of the massively dehumanizing things bureacracy does is demand something that is in practice impossible, like, "Keep a lawyer on retainer to scrutinize the terms of every pizza delivery contract, video rental, major appliance, and video game you interact with." and then condescendingly tell you,
"Well, if you don't do something as simple as that, whatever happens next is *your fault* and blaming someone else shows a weakness in your character."
One of the confounding problems if you want to argue with people who have some kind of luddite leanings is that, well, new technology feels nowadays like an imposition from hostile forces who know that they have you over the barrel because, uh, it is that thing. It is deliberately designed to be that thing.
I like having a cell phone. I hate waiving my right to a jury or to participate in a class action lawsuit. I would pay more, as a consumer, for a phone contract that did not have a binding arbitration clause. I couldn't find one.
So I decided that owning a phone was the lesser of two evils, and that will now be treated as a free choice which I have no right to complain about.
After all, if I wanted the right to join a class action suit I could simply forgo phone service and conduct all communications by the post.
And since I am allowed to choose whether I wish to have legal rights or a telephone, I am not allowed to complain about missing one or the other. After all, *I agreed* to give one of those things up :) :) :) :)
I think this move towards mass abuse of consumers really is one of the more underrated factors in, say, modern American politics.

Is it true Tumblr is crossing the picket line by marketing One Piece?
It's unfortunate to have that show's ads blasted on all our dashboards, to be sure, but it doesn't exactly fit the definition of "crossing the picket line", which is specific strike terminology that's been muddied a bit by talk on the Internet.
Crossing a picket line generally means crossing an actual, physical picket line to work at a struck company, thereby disregarding the strikers. [Updated 1 September to clarify that crossing a picket line is specifically referring to workers crossing picket lines, not patrons.] (Recent example in the news: hotel workers on strike in California picketed hotels and called for a boycott; therefore, staying at those hotels was crossing a picket line.) It can also be used figuratively, and in that case it differs from strike to strike, depending on the specific union demands.
[Side note: there's no call for a boycott from WGA/SAG-AFTRA, so subscribing to streaming services/going to movie theaters isn't crossing a picket line at this time; however, people canceling streaming services in solidarity and leaving a note that explains they're canceling in support of the strikes is a move we wholeheartedly support! See WGA negotiating committee co-chair Chris Keyser's interview about that here.]
Tumblr is a company, not a person, so SAG-AFTRA can't discipline it for marketing a Netflix show like it would discipline an individual (a stern talk from the board, or prohibiting them from SAG-AFTRA membership, etc.) There's no legal way for any union to enforce a no-marketing rule for companies. If Tumblr had a strong solidarity ethic, they'd turn down studio marketing campaigns, but that's a lot to expect from any profit-driven company and shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
So, tl;dr: crossing the picket line? Not exactly. Still a not-great thing to do? Absolutely, and you can always send Tumblr a feedback form expressing your disapproval that they're marketing for Netflix during the strikes.

[source (Senior Reporter at Kotaku), linked Kotaku article, two, 'FC 24's performance link', three, four, @/N7SeveranceDay (source of the last two images, "Account supporting BioWare employees laid off in 2023."), five, six, Polygon tweet, Polygon article]
"BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance" statement transcript:
“BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance On August 23 of this year, BioWare eliminated “approximately 50 roles at BioWare”. Following the layoffs, seven ex-BioWare employees engaged the services of R. Alex Kennedy to represent their interests, stating that the amount of severance offered was insufficient under Alberta common law. Counsel for the employees has attempted to reach a compromise that would avoid requiring lengthy court proceedings, but BioWare’s lawyers refused any offers to negotiate and settle out of court. The basis of Kennedy’s claim is that according to Alberta precedents and under Canadian law, these employees should be receiving approximately 1.7 months of severance per year of service they gave to BioWare. BioWare has now filed a Statement of Defence, which argues that the seven terminated employees are only entitled to two weeks of severance per year spent in service to BioWare, because of a contract provision that Kennedy says is not enforceable. The filing means BioWare will be taking these former employees to court rather than working towards finding an out of court resolution. The developers involved in the suit have expressed their disappointment: - “We are disappointed that BioWare prefers stalling and intimidation tactics to fair dealing with people who have given years, and in some cases decades, of dedication and hard work to the company.” - “We believe they are using intimidation and stalling tactics to try and get us to drop out. A lot of the more junior employees and those with families, who had more monetary pressure on them, could not risk waiting on a court case that may take many months more to resolve, and have already had to drop out.” - “At the time of the layoffs, BioWare offered us professional assistance in finding new employment, and an additional payment, but ONLY on the condition that we signed an agreement saying we cannot talk about any details of the settlement, and that we would completely waive any right to legal action or even to complain in any way about anyone associated with BioWare now or ever in the future. Tactics like that sure make me think that BioWare knows it is in the wrong.” - “Despite what they publicly announced when they laid us off, this process has been anything but empathetic, respectful, and communicative.” The latest BioWare layoffs were the third round so far this year, and many of the developers affected even in earlier rounds are still searching for work, though some have started to find new positions. Regardless of employment status, the members of the current lawsuit state they remain determined to pursue BioWare in court, regardless of their employment status: - “We strongly believe that if Dragon Age: Dreadwolf does not do as well as BioWare or EA wants at launch, there will be more, even larger layoffs. Therefore, regardless of our own well-being, we believe it is important to hold BioWare responsible and get a clear decision on what settlement amount is legal. We’re no longer part of the development team, so the best way we can help our former teammates now is to hold BioWare accountable and ensure that the next group who is laid off are not treated as poorly as we were.” November 7th marks “N7 Day”, which is a fan celebration of BioWare’s Mass Effect games featuring Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. The developers involved in the lawsuit are hoping N7 Day this year will be a reminder to BioWare of the importance of loyalty to your crew, and hope fans can have a little fun and help express their support with memes and images using an #N7SeveranceDay hashtag. The ex-employees involved in the suit are all based in Canada and have an average of 14 years at BioWare.”
[source]
You can express your support using the hashtag #N7SeveranceDay.

Warnings; 18+ no minors, Marcus pov, vague but big-legal age gap, there's no actual sex, but memories of it, vulgar yet romantic musings, master / slave dynamic (power imbalance) he’s still pretty possessive, Marcus calls reader Girl, reader calls Marcus Dominus - let me know if I missed any!

War is easy. It’s a language he’s fluent in, something he excels in. He is blessed enough to have survived more battles that he could count and has been more than rewarded for his prowess. Battle plans, marches and military strategy are almost second nature, the fury, the heat of battle, all that he can anticipate and it’s probably the main reason he’s come this far in his life. 
Soldiers, camp life and brutality, those things are easy for him to understand.
Other matters, love, affection, attraction; these things are…harder. 
Physically, he’s perfectly adequate. He's never been ignorant to his looks, or his build. He knows that he fills the societal ideal for a man. He’s broad, he’s strong, he has a good face and no physical flaws.
He’s never been short of attention from the fairer sex either but that doesn’t mean anything as far as he’s concerned. He’s had his trysts, and he thinks he might have even been in love before but his luck seems to stop, and stay within his vocation. 
In his younger days, he’d broken his fair share of hearts, he’d been gifted the virtue of many a virgin in hopes of tempting him into a marriage. None of them had held his attention for more than that one night, and sometimes, in the late hours wherever he found his rest he secretly feared the Gods might be punishing him. Withholding the partner he hopes to find as payment for those broken hearts left in his wake. 
As he grew older, wiser and more practical he learned to ignore that little emptiness. He saw it more as a blessing. Would he be where he was now with a woman waiting for him? Would he have hit his station with children bearing his name pulling at his thoughts in the middle of battle? Perhaps the Gods had simply made a trade. His life, or his heart. 
He’d been content with his lot in life, until he’d seen her. 
She’d served at a gathering he’d been loath to attend. His eyes tracked her, the shine of her hair, the curve of her hip, her pretty smile. Her eyes had locked with his for half a heartbeat and he’d felt it in his belly. A rolling, like waves in a stormy ocean. 
She’d gone about her business, efficiently fulfilling her duties while the guests all spoke animatedly around him. He’d joined in after reigning in his reaction, but she’d taken every ounce of his attention with her. 
He’d negotiated her purchase the next day. 
-
She was quick. She learned everything faster than a lot of the others in his service, and she seemed to anticipate his needs before he spoke them. Most of the time, he barely needed to say anything at all, and so he kept quiet. Kept his thoughts, and his feelings to himself. 
His biggest need though, was her. He wanted her bad enough to hurt, to ache.
He was well aware of the practices in other houses. Slaves were there to obey, and in most houses that meant obeying with work, and with their bodies. He saw no issue in this, it was the way of the world. No matter how badly he wanted her though, he couldn’t make himself order her to spread her legs for him. Maybe it was a foolish, childish thing but he wanted her to crave it just as he did. He wanted her wet, he wanted her begging for him, he wanted to see pleasure and lust on her pretty face. 
He wanted her to want him. 
A year passed, and every second in her presence was exquisite torture. A torture he submitted himself to freely and with a perverse pleasure. It was a test of endurance, until the fateful night she’d come to him with her wet tunic, all of her body on display through the sheer fabric. The shadow of her cunt had sent him into a frenzy and when she’d come back and caught him fucking his fist he’d thought it was just another form of punishment. 
It was that look on her face though, that heavy lidded, open mouthed way she stared at him, nipples hardening that had finally made him crack. 
That first night he’d taken her, he’d stayed up in his bed, almost blinded with want. Her body had not alleviated the craving for her, if anything, it’d only made it worse. He’d replayed their encounter over and over, obsessed with the taste of her on his fingers, obsessed with the feel of her lips on his. From then on, she’d only cemented her hold on him. Her quiet obedience, her subtle seduction, the way she’d managed to scrape the shape of herself onto his brain.
She’d made herself the figurehead in his mind, the holy place at which he prayed, the Goddess he served. If he could, he’d light a thousand candles at the altar of her cunt, and pray to them daily.
He fought harder to return to her, he took note of her wants, of her preferences, and made sure to cater to her, despite no one in the house, not even her realizing. He dismissed the younger boys that lusted after her, he was covetous of her to the point of violence. A small smile from her could dictate his mood. The thought of her in pain made him feel like some feral wolf caught in a trap, ready and willing to chew part of himself away to reach her. 
Sometimes, after he’d spilled inside her, he’d let her fall asleep in his bed and relish the way she clung to him in her sleep. It was a double edged sword though, their stations in this life. A part of him fears that her want is only an act, a way to endear herself to him, her Dominus. A foundation to earn her freedom, or coin, or influence through him but then he sees the shy way she smiles at him and his fears are silenced to nothing. 
She cannot fake the way she flutters around his cock, she cannot pretend to feel nothing, not when he sees the same jealousy he feels shining through her eyes at the mention of the mostly political proposals he’s denied. The things she says, the way she takes her pleasure from him, all of these things only compound his delusions that just maybe, she feels for him a fraction of what he feels for her. 
It’s a sort of madness, truly, how that part of him that was the perpetual soldier had in so many respects switched their roles, had given her a control–a power he was sure she didn’t realize she had. 
He was sick with want for her, ravenous, and yet unable to soften himself in a way that would make her see the truth, make her see just how much she truly meant to him. He couldn’t make himself show her, that whatever she asked of him, he’d do with a smile.
For now at least.

Who is Tim Walz?
Kamala Harris has apparently picked Tim Walz as her running mate. He seems good, based on his record. He's also responsible for the widely spreading "Republicans are weird" meme I've seen quite a lot of.
He has a good record. Just like I did for Kamala Harris in a post that has become quite popular, I will do a simple review of things I like from Tim Walz' political history. Again, as with Harris, this is just from his Wikipedia page. Let's go!
House of Representatives
Opposed increasing troop numbers in Iraq
Co-sponsored a bill to raise Minnesota's minimum wage
Voted for stem cell research
Voted to allow Medicare to negotiate pharmaceutical prices
Voted against the act to Prohibit Federally Funded Abortion Services
Voted to advance the ACA
Has received a 100% rating from many progressive organizations like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU
Was a member of several caucuses, including the LGBT Equality Caucus
Governor of Minnesota
Signed into law police reforms after the murder of George Floyd
Had Minnesota join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, meaning that all of the state's electors will vote for whichever candidate wins the popular vote nation-wide.
Under his governance, Minnesota passed laws for requiring paid leave, banning non-compete agreements, cannabis legalization, abortion rights, universal free school meals,
Political stances
Pro cannabis
Against bailout bills that loan taxpayer money to large banks and auto manufacturers
Was a former teacher for many years, and is very pro-education and supporting public schools. He is against merit pay for teachers (this is a good thing), and supports lowering tuition costs
Used to be pro-gun, but after Parkland he changed his mind, and as Governor he signed a bill mandating universal background checks
Pro-LGBT - has voted for LGBT rights many times, including as Governor, where he signed bills banning conversion therapy and protecting gender-affirming care
Supports veterans rights and support
Supports abortion rights and women's rights
I am going to copy-paste the entire section for his views on the Israel-Hamas war, because I don't want people claiming I am taking anything out of context. Overall, he has views that echo my own in many ways:
Walz condemned Hamas's October 7 attacks in Israel and ordered flags to be lowered to half mast in the following days. After the 2024 Minnesota Democratic presidential primary, in which 19% of voters cast "uncommitted" ballots, Walz took a sympathetic view toward those doing so to protest President Biden's handling of the war in Gaza, calling them "civically engaged". Of the protests against U.S. funding of the war in Gaza, Walz said: "This issue is a humanitarian crisis. They have every right to be heard... These folks are asking for a change in course, they're asking for more pressure to be put on… You can hold competing things: that Israel has the right to defend itself, and the atrocities of October 7 are unacceptable, but Palestinian civilians being caught in this… has got to end." Walz also said he supports a ceasefire in Gaza.[100]

A story about disability discrimination
In November, me and @cassolotl made a train journey, as we often do. We were both using wheelchairs, so we booked passenger assistance in advance (as is recommended). We were told the wheelchair spaces on our trains had been reserved for us.
One of our changes was at Reading. We went to the platform ready to board the 12:15 that we were booked on. The train and station staff had an exchange, and then came to tell us that we couldn't get on the train, because there were people already in the wheelchair spaces.
We explained that legally, we had a right to use those spaces, and anyone else in them should be removed to let us on. Staff insisted it was impossible because the people in the spaces had been reserved on an earlier service that they couldn't take. They didn't let us on the train.
An hour later, we went to the platform ready to board the next service at 13:15. The staff started to put the ramp down for us, then various staff members talked to each other, and then the ramp was taken away. They came to tell us that we couldn't get on the train, because the spaces were full.
We explained that we had already been refused access to our booked train, and the spaces should be cleared for us. Staff insisted it was impossible because the people in the spaces had been reserved on that particular service, and we hadn't. They didn't let us on the train.
Both times, we went to the platform ready to get on the train and then watched the staff negotiate whether and how to break the law publicly in front of us. We watched other passengers freely being allowed onto the train while staff physically prevented us from boarding.
The staff made two opposing excuses for refusing us access to the two trains. First because other passengers had been reserved on an earlier service and we were booked on this one, and then because we had been reserved on an earlier service and other passengers were booked on this one.
They made clearly arbitrary justifications for refusing us access. Travel is exhausting for both of us, delays and disruption even moreso because we are both autistic. The open discrimination and public humiliation was the icing on the cake.
Eventually we were allowed to board the 14:15 (that's a two hour delay which non-disabled people didn't have to suffer). The standard class wheelchair spaces were full and the train manager made sure we knew that we were being allowed in the first class spaces "as an exception".
To be clear for anyone who's not intimately familiar with the UK's Equality Act 2010: the way we were treated was illegal disability discrimination. We were subjected to a disadvantage (delay and humiliation), as a result of our wheelchair use, due to disability.
And also for anyone who doesn't know: there is no central or government body which enforces the Equality Act. The ONLY legal recourse available is for individual victims of discrimination to take their discriminators to court and demand financial compensation.
We contacted CrossCountry (who ran both trains and Reading station), to say we intended to take them to court. After a few months of negotiation, they agreed to compensate us £2,000 each to drop the case, while insisting they did not admit liability. They didn't ask for an NDA though. :)
I wasn't really sure whether to post about this publicly. But I've thought about it a bit, and I've decided there are two things I'd like people to learn by reading this.
1. For non-disabled people:
This kind of stuff happens ALL the time. It is constant and relentless and neverending. It happens to every single disabled person, in subtle and obvious ways. For the handful of times you've ever noticed discrimination, it has happened to that person countless more.
Most of the time it happens behind a friendly customer service smile, and we have to thank them for the scraps of access they're offering us, because if we pointed out every time someone broke the law we would never have any friends and never be able to do anything else.
2. For disabled people (in the UK):
It really IS illegal. I know it feels like nothing can be done, because it is so frequent and widespread it seems inescapable. But the law does exist, and it does apply to you.
Unfortunately, the only way to enforce that law is to take (or threaten) legal action yourself. That's hard work, but it's less scary and risky than it might seem. I recommend this resource as a place to start if you're thinking about it.

CARMEN SANDIEGO: TO STEAL OR NOT TO STEAL UPDATE
Tumblr media
So, Carmen Sandiego’s To Steal or Not to Steal, along with almost all of Netflix’s Interactive specials, will be deleted from the streaming service come December 1st 2024. There's really no changing that, at least for now.
My friends and I had originally planned to archive TSONTS ourselves, but someone had kindly directed me towards this group called The Netflix Interactive Archive. These people are doing AMAZING work to preserve not only Carmen’s interactive special, but EVERY interactive special. These people have far more technical know-how than I could ever begin to understand for this topic.
As of now, they currently have archived every single interactive special in every single available language, and they are working on eventually releasing their archived versions for anyone to play! I’m confident when I say that Carmen Sandiego’s interactive is safe in their hands, so once they are able to release their archival of TSONTS I will definitely be posting about it. Subscribe to their youtube channel to keep tabs on the archive’s progress!
So the actual content of the interactives are as safe as they reasonably can be. But I’d like to talk about WHY Netflix is doing this, as I didn’t explain properly in my first post and many people were confused.
According to a Netflix spokesperson in an article with The Verge, “The [interactive special’s] technology served its purpose, but is now limiting as we focus on technological efforts in other areas.” This, of course, is total bull. There's no reason that keeping already existing content on your platform would limit the capabilities of future content. So what's the REAL reason? Corporate greed, of course! Deleting these interactives from the streaming site would save Netflix money.
Originally, I believed that cutting TSONTS from Netflix would allow them to claim the interactive as a loss and receive a tax break from it; this is what happened to Coyote vs. Acme, a fully-produced movie that Warner Brothers never released, and got an estimated $30 million dollar tax break on (source). While this might play a part in Netflix's decision to cut the interactives, I think that this situation is more alike to what happened to Infinity Train on HBO Max.
In 2022, many beloved animated TV shows, including the acclaimed Infinity Train, were removed from HBO Max. Infinity Train had no other legal home at the time, and now there are very few legal places to access the show. The show's creator, Owen Dennis, had this to say on the matter: "...It’s about saving money somehow. The consensus is that it has something to do with paying animators and artists the residuals that they’re owed for their work. Our pay is not complete without the ongoing residuals." (source).
HBO Max didn't want to pay Infinity Train workers the money they were owed, and now it's likely that Netflix doesn't want to pay Carmen Sandiego workers what they are owed. It doesn't matter to them if these interactives are important pieces of media that matter to many people, and it doesn't matter to them if their workers lose money that they need to survive. Ultimately, Netflix doesn't believe that these interactives are bringing in enough revenue to keep them on the streaming platform.
Right now, animation workers have few ways to protect themselves from these types of business decisions, but it doesn't have to stay this way forever! Right now, The Animation Guild is negotiating with the corporations to receive better pay, working conditions, and to help prevent the conditions that influence corporations to delete shows. You can help them by signing their petition, helping to convince corporations that animation matters! Sign the petition here!
