#my current reason for breakdowns

Trying to find a good angst fic in the middle of kinktober was a bad move on my part

Every time someone writes anything re: the Arrows (esp Ollie) and treat it like they have these like Bat-level strict morals or just otherwise being really "strictly principled"???? it drives me crazy. Like I don't wanna be "you haven't read the comics" but... They haven't.

Ollie, very famously, killed not only Parallax (something which was very difficult for him bcs Hal was his friend, for all their fighting), but also the Electrocutioner (for killing Lian, maiming Roy, and destroying most of his city). There was that whole thing in Crossroads when he worked with Huntress, Catwoman, and Deathstroke, and was killing criminals with guns! Killed a man torturing Dinah! Hell, even further, at least once he helped someone who he considered to have been justified in killing someone escape the law!

I'm pretty sure literally all of his proteges have harder lines than he does (Jason criticizes Mia for limiting her angles to non-lethal in Seeing Red, Oliver being shown to use more brutal methods in a team up with Roy in comic I admittedly don't remember the exact name of & Connor disapproved of Ollie training with the guy who trained Deathstroke to learn the "killing arts" re: 1YL, tho idr if that was more of a killing disapproval or a "dad, really, this guy is awful tho???" kinda deal. Uhhh... Emiko might be an exception to this probably, at least inasmuch as you can consider those two his proteges given I don't think Ollie really trained them that much/they mostly came to him like that). Hell, when Mia killed someone he wasn't mad about her killing so much as that it was her (an innocent kid) that did it!

In the marriage comic, Dinah had apparently killed Ollie in self-defense! (Before concluding that it hadn't been him despite all evidence to the contrary, ect., ect., ect.)

Roy worked for the gov't and definitely killed for them when it was called for. Fell in love with an assassin and walked away instead of turning her in or killing her like he was probably supposed to do despite knowing she'd likely go on to keep killing more people (You could call this a statement on his love for her, which on some level, yeah, but on the other level shows that his lines aren't so well-defined.) The only reason he hadn't killed the Electrocutioner himself is bcs Ollie got there first. For all the complaints re: RHATO/RH&A they are still considered current canon (to an extent, I think some specific things around it might be retconned?) & he has killed in there too.

Emiko as a former assassin/being trained & raised to be a "perfect killer" by Shado I feel is rather self-explanatory.

There's probably more but I'm runnin' out of steam here. Anyways. My point is that while they're not exactly actively murderous vigilantes, they FAR from have some kind of no-kill rule. They'll typically try something else first, but when lines are crossed (like their family) or there doesn't appear to be a better solution that would actually work, they're plenty willing. They're not "Batfam 2.0 but lamer and not as powerful," which seems to be the predominant interpretation most of the time.

Not to be extreme but dear God hold onto hope.

Things will be better one day. People will sing and dance in colorful clothes under dazzling lights again. A parent will rock their child to sleep on a quiet night again. A grandparent will teach their grandchild to cook a family recipe again. People will laugh and cry and love and grieve in the most mundane of ways once more. This will happen no matter what you believe, but hoping and believing in such things will ease your heart and kindle your resolve to see it within your lifetime. Have hope, and you will give life to the world you hope to see.

i keep getting rejected from job applications and i have no idea what im doing wrong. i wish they would just tell you WHY you're getting rejected and ways to improve. its a guessing game that ends up making me feel even more worthless than i felt before

just saw someone say that the reason american politicians aren't pushing to give third parties better chances in elections is because the majority of third parties are communist leaning. lmao.

I know life has a meaning but I'm to burned out to see it.

I don’t need another au, I say, making another au where Time messes himself up royally and Hyrule gets to steal a car aged 9 to try rescue a random dog from a supervillian and crashes into tree. he and the puppy are fine, or he hopes so, the dog ran off and he ran in the opposite direction to avoid the cops.

Its a year or so later when Legend, whose car he stole and crashed, drags him home.

I’m not saying Legend /is/ batman, but Ravio did replace his car with a bunmobile and hacks the stock markets, and he does fight crime with a lot of cool tech, and he does have an adoption problem.

but also Time maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe caused the apocolypse but is trying to fix it (in between managing a farm and his lovely wife and being an apocolypse prepper except he knows the apocolypse is coming so does it count?), Wars might be a teacher for the superhero league stuck in a zombie apocolypse with like 5 superpowered children to babysit (including another, much younger version of Time who hasn’t developed time travel powers yet except for the fact he absolutely has), Sky is on his honeymoon when everything goes to shit, Twilight and Wild live in the woods but help with Time’s cows (they say they’re on the run from the government to be edgy. Twilight is just embarassed about the dog thing. Wild might actually be on the run from them he doesn’t actually remember). Wind’s sister was at school and now he can’t find her. Four/Minish’s grandfather is an absolute saint. Spirits isn’t sure what’s going on but he’s not letting go of his teacher’s hand. Ganon is actually working with the heroes as is most of the supervillian league (reluctantly and eventually) because zombies are worse actually.

Also Rulie’s blood is magic, and in a /lot/ of time loops he died for it. Oops. Time would rather not repeat that.

it's genuinely so difficult to know if i'm going overboard/'giving in' in regards to my Fears bc some things are like. i feel like they're legitimate precautions... like im going to send a bug in to get identified because i don't know how get rid of the bug if i dont know what the fuck it is and im getting weird looks for it. is that not a reasonable thing to do if i can't figure out what the fuck the bug is from the internet?? is this not the logical next step???

[futureempressoftheuniverse]

isn't it wild that you can look into things that destructive cults do to make people susceptible to brainwashing and realize that those are things you do to yourself when depressed
