Yo I'm going to be on the west coast of the US around late October, definitely in SF, if you're there or nearby and want to hang out drop me a line.

Akio trying to convince Utena in the last episode that Anthy's suffering is a tragic but inevitable facet of reality and nothing can be done about it despite him being the primary one responsible for her suffering, and this being part of his smoke and mirrors illusion through which he maintains control, acting like his tower is the highest place in the world and he is the end of the world and there's nothing beyond the limits of his power and it's naive and delusional to think otherwise...and Anthy having internalized this idea that there's no hope for her and there's no possible future for her beyond Akio's abuse...and Utena rejecting this ultimately not out of some abstract idea of heroism or nobility or some clear idea of how to fix things but simply because she cannot accept it and she loves Anthy too much to not try to do something...and that giving Anthy the hope and courage to believe in a future where she can be loved and be happy and the strength to choose to leave herself and even subtly mock Akio's own immaturity and self-delusion on her way out the door as she goes to step over the line to the outside world while Akio is shocked because he never considered that his power over her was not absolute and he too believed in the indestructibility of the system he created...the revolution was the power to imagine the future!! the world (the stage) is free and wide!!

Once more thinking about something that permanently altered my brain's chemistry and the way I see life and I think I should share it here, even if no one is going to see. In the How to Train Your Dragon book series, there is a scene where Hiccup faces an enemy who owns an axe that has two sides, one that is golden and shiny, the other that is blackened, bloody and rusty. He would throw the axe in the air and make decisions depending on which side it would land on. Said axe eventually is used to decide Hiccup's fate. However, despite being trapped by the narrative in many ways, Hiccup is the protagonist of his own destiny. He reaches for the axe as it falls, and turns it himself so it lands on the golden side. Whether the axe was going to land on the gold or the dark side originally is irrelevant. He chooses to be alive and be free. Every time I go through a difficult moment, as I am right now, I think about this scene, as silly as it may be.

I am allowed to grab the destiny axe. And so are you.

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

no but actually garak nearly lost his eyes rolling them so hard at Julian in the spy program over all his fuckboy hologram flirting, but if julian had smirked at garak ONCE and said, "y'know, I'd love to see what your hair looks like without all that product," garak would have fainted

[danelloevee-sky]

Yay :]

27 pages in and this fic can be best described as the same energy as "not unrequited they're just idiots pining" but not even "they don't know it's unrequited" and more just

Morpheus: "I can not risk giving in to love. I do not know how to love without consuming you. I do not know how not to be cruel. I would crush you into my entire self like the singularity point. I will ruin you... so will you stop that???"

Robert "don't threaten ME with a good time" Gadling: slowly raising his eyebrows and spreading his legs more and more the entire time Morpheus talks

I might have to turn off my asks.

I cannot stand being spammed with, "Help my family is in Gaza" bot posts.

Like seriously.

It's astounding.

Literally hundreds of these fucking things every day. From the most obvious bot ass names imaginable too, and also using the exact same goddamn wording.

It's so fucking scummy to do too, like, I don't have the time to go through these and try to identify the real ones. People who actually need help are getting drowned out by these fake ass hoes. Genuinely infuriating.

What would everyone in the tl4j’s favorite Disney movie be?

I feel like Luke’s would be Encanto.

I think he would try to convince everyone that all of his problems is also due to generational trauma while everyone else points out the many other types of trauma and problems he’s had.

i don't think I'm enough of a disney girlie to answer!! uh idk, aladdin 2 return of jafar for all of them

unrelated but Darth Vader's favourite would be Tangled and he thinks Bail Organa is the real world mother gothel

the voices from the far reaches of the ether told me to tell you they said they wanted no pickles

[butteredfrogs]

there are so many people that i’m mutuals with that have such cool chill vibes that i would love to talk to / interact with more but i’m literally so scared why am i like this

[marimayscarlett]

I love the interactions between Olli and Richard though rare! But when I get to see videos, it warms my heart!

Hi 👋

Oh let me tell you, I love those two dearly. When they meet on stage, their interaction always seems so genuine, spontaneous and heartfelt. I really enjoy seeing these two interact and honestly, Olichard is such an underrated ship, but I sail on it into the sunset to no end 😤✋🏼 (crying regularly that there are only a few fanfics about them). Anyway, here are some of my favourite moments of them being cute/goofy/very cool together:

Feeling groovy I guess ✨ [source]

Absolute cat behaviour 😽🐈 [source]

I don't even know what this is, 'string instrument mating dance' maybe (at least I hope so) [source]

No entry into the cryptid area for the chicken man >:( [source]

Two more cute (including one hands-on moment 😌) moments:

In conclusion: I love them 🖤

idk when to call it “ghosting” or if that even applies if you’ve only talked online, but this hinge girl has stopped talking to me after maybe like a week of messaging, to which i’m like…oh well. tbh i’m probably not ready for anything even approaching dating. it’s weird though that i’m feeling kinda bummed instead of relieved—which is how i think i would have felt a year ago if the same thing happened. actually a year ago i wouldn’t have even tried talking to her. so it’s probably a good sign that i managed to talk to her for a while. it’s probably a good sign that i was at all interested in someone. it shows im still capable of being interested, which i didnt think i was until now, so there’s that.

me when tumblr recommends me someone defending dr3 in the tags and i read through the entire thing and get mad bc they don't understand what brainwashing really is.

[loomingcastle]
