the urge to let my grades drop so maybe they'll notice how fucked I am except I would rather die than have them notice of how fucked I am

Best thing being a military kid gave me is an excuse for my auditory processing delay, so now I ask how to spell people's names and if they say "it's the regular spelling" I pull the "I grew up in X country, it's probably different to what I consider common spelling" and then they give me their name without judgement and I don't have to ask five times before I hear their name for the first time

there needs to be a new trend where all military kids make up the most outlandish stories and see how long it takes for their friends to realize that its fake

elementary cookie dough sales were really just mlm schemes for toddlers that shoved the fact that I had no relatives or friends right into my fucking face at 10 yrs old huh

the downfall of the military began when we stopped encouraging soldiers to have gay sex

okay so as the child of a vet i am going to add to this post. (in a positive way. very anti-military here. first paragraph doesn´t seem like it but military big no no to me)

my dad served in the air force for almost a decade. he never got shipped out, and stayed in the us for his entire time. when my mom got pregnant with me, he resigned and came home. he says that joining the military was the best thing that ever happened to him.

it was the worst thing that happened to me. even though he was resigned when i was born, and he has never been active-duty in my life, it made my life awful.

the military is strict, as we all know. and he took the strictness, the cleanliness, and the order that he learned in basic training, and applied it to our life at home. specifically how we cleaned the house. if i didn´t sweep the correct way, he would dump the dirt out of the pan and make me sweep again. íf we didn´t clean our rooms well enough, (¨well enough¨ means all surfaces dusted, vacuumed, floor cleared, bed made, closet and drawers organized, window screens vacuumed, windows clean) he would yell at us and throw away toys/other stuff. there are million other examples of what he did, but this post would be way to long.

my dad threatened to send me away to military boarding school, told me that joining the military is the best path in life, and actively encourages me to enroll. all that talk of how ¨great¨ the military is actually made me think that way. in middle school, the recruiters came to my school. i told them i wasn´t 18 but i was interested in joining. i was 12. i wrote my email and phone number down, and they told me they would contact me when i turned 18. i regret the decision now, and i didn´t join.

my point is, that if you join the military, and plan on having children or already have them, that you risk ruining that child´s life. even if you are not active while they are alive, even if you never leave the country. it will affect your entire family. so if you care about your future family, don´t fucking do it. ¨It´ll pay for my college!¨ they don´t pay for the whole thing. they pay a percentage, depending on how long you serve. so you can´t do just your minimum four years and get free college. not how it works.

¨I want to help people¨ the military doesn´t fucking help people. they kill people, mostly innocent civilians. join peacecorp or americorp, or be a firefighter, doctor, paramedic. those are organizations that actually help people.

don´t fucking do it. don´t ruin more children´s lives. please.

Hey, Spitfire! Try not to kill your brother ahead of time!

.

Looking for Ursa right after being banished had some...wildly unexpected results. One: Zuko actually found her. Two: she wasn't alone. Three: leaving her children behind in order to protect them was, apparently, just something she did.

Looking at the bright side, Zuko now had a three-year-old younger brother to look after. Looking at the dark side, Zuko now had a three-year-old kid he needed to parent while also keeping him a secret from his father because—may Agni help him—the Fire Lord would have to go through Zuko first if he dared to even look at Lu Ten II.

(AKA an AU in which Zuko is a good big brother and doesn't want another kid to grow up like he did.)

Even CNN is reporting the truth more now. But if you are held without being charged, you aren’t a prisoner, you’ve been kidnapped and are a HOSTAGE. And human rights organizations have said that the other 50%, who were charged, were mainly charged with throwing rocks, and that even most of that was made up.

For all the pro israel who came to my posts of Palestinian children celebrating their freedom, calling them terrorists and criminals. Israel is an occupation state, they don't need a reason to arrest you as long as you're Palestinian.
