Idk how to start this post properly, but why do some of you hate Amane so much? She killed someone, but this is a prison for murderers? If you think amane should have been voted guilty, why? Do you really think a child deserves that kind of torture? Again?

Like, it's a well known fact that cults prey on vulnerable people* Like, for example, idk, a child? Like, Amane won't have unlearned their beliefs, because children do not usually have the ability to think critically if that isn't something they are taught and encouraged to do, and if the people around them all believe the same things they were taught, or roughly similar, and the media they have access to teaches them the same thing, then they are unlikely to question those beliefs, because they have no reason to. So, why is anyone surprised when Amane hasn't thought to really dissect any of those believes, why would she? That's what she's known for a long time, and milgram is not really a place to learn. It is a place for punishment, above all else. No matter what we voted amane, it would not have mattered, it would have taught her nothing, she would still feel that way about shidou, and maybe he wouldn't have died, but you would have still basically tortured a child, and she would still keep her beliefs, perhaps even more than she already did.

(*for another example, fuuta would have been in quite a vulnerable state after trial 1, because he was voted guilty, with no understanding as to why. Amane did not consciously try to indoctrinate him or anything, but the things she believes are usually supposed to be appealing to vulnerable people. It's why he ended up like this too, I think. Though granted, I don't personally have experience with any of this, so I am happy to be corrected on anything)

“Oh, so you are still a living, breathing human being,” May teased, walking up behind her nephew. She gently brushed his hair aside and planted a soft kiss on the top of his head. With a smirk, she stepped back and circled around him, heading toward the kitchen to start breakfast. “I was this close to sending out a search party.”

+ KENZIE / VAISMAN RESIDENCE, CENTER HILL

"Okay, I know I said I'd drop it but could we sue for damages or something?" May asks Kenzie, glancing over at her sister from the opposite side of her bed. Koda was fast asleep and May had come to Kenzie's room with a cup of tea and oreos to soothe away the bite from the day. So much of her sister's hard work destroyed. "Like. We can probably find out who was directly involved. Who got booked and everything. And then they need to pay up or something. It's not right." @dxrkenedheights

"I did it for you" has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I bring you sad news today. Murphy, the eagle who incubated a rock (and later raised a foster eaglet after his rock "hatched"), passed away at age 33 (almost a decade longer than long-lived wild eagles!). A tornado hit his local area. It's believed he sustained blunt force head trauma, likely from spooking during the high winds, as his cage and fellow eagles were unharmed.

Murphy is survived by his foster son, Baby 23-126, who was successfully released into the wild, and a second foster eaglet he was still caring for; this eaglet is expected to be able to be released as well.

I know a lot of people on Tumblr enjoyed seeing his story, and I know we will remember him fondly.

“Your godfather is spoiling you again,” May remarked as she walked into the kitchen of her ex-husband-turned-best friend’s kitchen. She shook her head fondly when she spotted her son perched at the bar with a huge stack of chocolate chip pancakes in front of him. She brushed a few curls away from Mattie's face and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. “And filling you with sugar." Turning her full attention to Mateo, she added, “Just like your mother did at the wedding.” // @hcvrtbrcvk

Dick: But they’re so adorable, aren’t they?

Bruce: Unfortunately yes.

ABOUT

Born into a big extended family, May has never known a quiet day, especially with her little sister, Kenzie, close at her heels. She was always someone people could talk to and rely on.

She was creative (loved music, dance and art) but music lessons and dance classes were too much money and so she fell into art which didn’t require classes as much.

May ended up getting rejected from every college she applied to and was gutted for a bit before that Vaisman determination kicked in and she asked the owner of Al’s Originals to let her learn. It seemed a practical application for her skill and work.

He did and eventually became an uncle-figure/mentor to May who’s skill grew over the years.

When Albert Shaw died, he left his shop to her in his will. May always tried to keep apart from the Reapers but learned shortly after becoming owner, that they had a deal with Al which she’s obligated to keep if she wants the lights to stay on. 

She’s not naive and knows that sometimes it’s how things work, and she knows many Reapers from growing up in Center Hill, but she can’t help but feel a bit resentful of the fact that they get such a large cut of profits. She doesn’t quite know why Al made the deal he did, but she also doesn’t want any trouble so, for now, May pays her dues and keeps her opinions to herself.

Has a pretty successful IG following for her work and is highlighting Al’s Originals now that she’s the owner.

She is happy to do tattoos around scars for discounted costs or free depending on the situation surrounding said scar 

She dotes on her nephew, Koda, like crazy and thinks that all his good traits come from her sister.
