if you talk to the average conservative voter, they'll always talk about their conservative representative with unabashed enthusiasm. "this guy is supporting my rights!!!!!" even when the representative is very much not supporting their voting constituents' rights in some cases (ie. poor white ppl not realizing they're getting poorer because of their representative)

and I bet that's why conservative candidates are so good at winning. any person listening to their voters only gets a great impression of the candidate.

and if you talk to the average liberal/leftist voter, they all hem and haw. "oh yeah, I voted for them but they're Okay, they're Disappointing. they haven't done this. they haven't done that." and I bet if you fucking pressed them to state some Good Beneficial Legislation they've passed, either the voter 1. can't name any, or 2. has to attach caveats. ("yeah biden passed student loan forgiveness BUT not ALL loans were forgiven")

why aren't we ever excited about incremental progress. why aren't we cheering to the sky about every win. maybe more people would vote if there was genuine excitement, the same type of excitement that conservative voters seem to have about anything labeled "conservative".

I'm just so fucking tired of hearing ppl be like "I'm just disillusioned with my leftist representative" EVERY TIME but are DEAD SILENT on the small victories, the progress. conservatives know how to do this, and that's why they build momentum into the next election. why does this seem impossible for the other side.

pre-martinaise pornstache harry du bois who’s creepy and demeaning and a hypermasculine misogynist at work going home from the brutal machismo-masochist shit factory and getting pegged through the fucking floor by his younger satellite officer. Do you see my vision

i bought a candle that burns into massage oil and i need someone to burn it and give me a really good massage with like so much pressure u think ur hurting me (in a bad way lol) but i promise ur not my back is just so fucked up.

start with my shoulders and then move lower to my hips. then down to my ass which you briefly give a massage before moving down to my thighs, completely ignoring my pussy that’s definitely dripping wet at this point.

and once you’ve gone over my body once, you start back at my shoulders and neck and do the whole thing again. watching my body jump everytime more hot wax is dripped onto my body is worth all of the teasing in the world

eventually, after what seems like ages, you finally rub my hard dick

just when i thought mercedes putting kimi in f1 after skipping f3 and having only a singular season in f2 is bad enough, williams decided to put another f2 rookie to replace logan for the remainder of this season. like what is it with williams and their rookie driver man

Had to check every news source in case this was a joke because HUH?

One of the things I find kinda funny about part 3 Kaiji is like...it doesn't feel as though Muraoka is the primary antagonist. He feels more like a setup for Kazuya.

We barely get an introduction to him, and at almost no point do we see him behaving like a proper threat to Kaiji. From the start, Kaiji has an advantage: he knows about Maeda, and Miyoshi is helping him which Muraoka doesn't know. Now, yes, Kaiji does start losing: and it's the big matches that he's losing, but even so it never feels like it's because Muraoka is a formidable opponent, it's more that Kaiji made a mistake. Muraoka is just kind of a guy. The only threat he represents is "Kaiji loses a bunch of money he doesn't have" which is big for Kaiji, but doesn't really offer much for an 'arc villain'.

The only person who has a threatening energy is Kazuya: who, throughout the entire arc so far, Kaiji keeps trying to figure out who this person is and how he knows who Kaiji is, and whether or not he's going to blow his cover and screw him over. Kazuya's the actual opponent here.

It's not really the match itself that has weight, but rather the guy watching (and enabling) as things play out.

My showerhead is up to a pack a day at this point.

ok since i posted about it last night, i might as well finally debut my comicaurora sentinel au, even if my drawings for it are. not fully realized

in this chimerae are a localized disaster event that can spring up anywhere, draining the life energy for a mile around. in response (in accordance with the rule of cool), cities built the sentinel corps, giant robots to fight off chimerae before they destroy the city.

more under the cut

kendal is one of these sentinels, a relatively recently developed mark III whose pilot is vash fairblade, captain of the sentinels. there aren't any city gods in this au, so vash is just a guy. why does he have the same name as the city? bc i didnt want to change it. anyway. after a while, kendal develops something of an active mind instead of just being a giant robot¹, mimicking vash's own mind. and then a wave of chimerae attack the city, destroying it, killing vash, and leaving kendal the only remaining sentinel. in the midst of the destruction, though, he could have sworn he saw a woman, unruffled, just... watching.

the sun is on its way down when alinua finds the corpse. or, more accurately, she finds the sentinel. the pilot is still tangled in the cockpit, sentinel curled around him like it was trying to protect him. the corpse is of course vash, and the sentinel is kendal.

alinua still has the 'chimeric plague' (here hypothesized to be the cause of chimera events), and the only reason she goes with him is that a. hes inorganic (can't be affected by the life outburst) and b. if she does cause a chimera event, hes literally a giant robot designed for the specific purpose of fighting chimerae. and besides, vash the city is destroyed. there won't be any collateral damage.

sidebar, alinua can pilot kendal. it's a team effort - now that ive watched pacific rim, i think its a little like drifting if your jaeger also could think. tbh i also think canon kendal and alinua are drift compatible, but thats another post for another time

dainix is another mech pilot, though not willingly - zuurith's sentinel corps is not Exclusively prison labor, but what does it matter if a few prisoners die of brain hemmhorages while piloting? dainix, piloting the sentinel "champion", is the longest lasting prisoner pilot they've had, and he's brutally effective. there are murmurings that he'll be released and placed in the sentinel corps as a citizen, but if he is ever released he'd fuck off in a heartbeat, so he's still in prison, sentence artificially extended for as long as he's useful.

i'm still a little uncertain as to what kind of roles erin, tess, and falst play, so if anyone's got any ideas i'd be delighted to hear them!!

I'm never going to financially recover from this.

But seriously. A vet visit for two sick cats, totaling $671, and my pet insurance reimbursed...$35. I pay $25 a month for this!!! What is the point???

Anyway, I truly hate to ask, but if anyone would like to help me pay this off, I would be eternally grateful. I'll even write you a little fic of your choosing as a thank-you. Just message me and ask <3
