#no ban no wall

[lollercakesff]

This seems like as good a time as any to remind you of the atrocities that happened during Tr*mp's first term. He is a monster, his supporters are either too dumb, selfish or vindictive to give a fuck about their neighbours. He will destroy America if he's elected again and he will take down the rest of the world with it.

Americans must vote in this election, if not for yourselves, then for the rest of us.

Remember what happened last time. Think for the briefest minute what will happen next time. Is it terrifying? Then go fucking vote.

And for those that already have, I share with you any of the FTH stories I've written in thanks. Particularly, The Conflict of Identity that captures the chaos of that term in a short story. I recently received a review for this work that made me cry in a meeting, so apparently it has staying power. Go check it out, but only if you plan to vote.

Shows you should save physically immediately + addition I recommend reading

Over the Garden Wall -- It's being pulled from HBO Max on August 31 and knowing HBO, there's a chance it'll be pulled sooner. *I have now made a Google Drive of all the episodes of OTGW. Please, please, please, PLEASE, save these on a physical device.

The Owl House -- Disney has tried to bury this show many times (giving it a weird release schedule, cutting the budget, etc) and has even cancelled the show. Also, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue soon and I doubt TOH will survive*I have now also saved all the episodes of TOH. Click here for the posts with all of the episodes

Amphibia -- I know less about the behind the scenes BS than TOH but Amphibia was screwed over by Disney mainly by poor promotion. Also since one of the protagonist is openly bisexual*, like TOH, I really can't imagine this would survive.*Amphibia has also been saved. Go here for the post with all the episodes.

Steven Universe -- Cartoon Network cancelled Steven Universe and gave it a weird release schedule, it has also just been pulled from HBO Max.

Gravity Falls -- Once again, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue at some point in the future and between Wendy being canonically bi, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being in a relationship, and Alex Hirsch (being the amazing man that he is) constantly calling Disney out on their BS, I imagine that Disney would be more than willing to nuke Gravity Falls. *I’ve also saved Gravity Falls now go to the main post here to see all the episodes.

and most importantly

Every single show, book, game, fanfiction, movie, etc you've ever loved

We now know that at any moment's notice, streaming services can and will just nuke their catalogue without hesitation. If it's digital, it can be removed and there's a likely chance you'll never see it again.

So, please take some time to save anything you love on an external device. It could be a box set (it can be official or fan-made one), a USB, or anything.

If you have a physical copy of something, it's yours forever and no one can take that away from you.

*Edit because I’ve seen some confusion about this. Read this again, it’s “one of the protagonists” not “the protagonist.” Sasha is the one who’s bi, Anne’s sexuality hasn’t been confirmed.

Also in addition to this, people have reblogged this to say Steven Universe is still on HBO. Since I don’t have HBO, I’ve been going off of what people have been saying and I’ve seen it mentioned that HBO was taking off SU. You should still save it though.

*Edit 2 if any of the links here don’t work, check the original post as I might’ve changed/updated them. If that still doesn’t work, send me an ask or DM I’ll give them to you.

I’d like to think that while some of the time, the one not in control of the body takes a fat nap. However, I also like to think that the times when they *aren’t* asleep, they talk to each other often. Usually, they like to bounce ideas off each other, come up with different schemes, and even give each other advice mid- job ^^

V, JoeNicky & Nile

V. An abandoned or empty place.

When Joe pulls the sheet off the couch it kicks up enough dust that it makes Nile sneeze. The couch underneath is old, wooden frame rotting, fabric stained and full of holes where moths have eaten away at it. 

“Sorry,” Joe says to Nile when she finally manages to get the sneezing under control. “Didn’t realise it was that bad.” He puts his hands on his hips and looks down at the couch. Nile looks it over.

“There’s no saving that,” she says, wiping at her eyes. She can heal from falling over ten stories, but she can’t get away from allergies.

Joe frowns. “I liked that couch.”

The house is older than anywhere else they’ve brought her, and has been abandoned for long enough that it’s falling apart. But through some trick of posing as their own sons, or something, Joe and Nicky still own it, even if there’s a giant hole in the roof and all the windows are broken. Why they’d decided to come back here, Nile doesn’t know, but it’s a nice enough area, and a good distraction from, well. Everything. Growing back a leg, she’s discovered, is not fun. 

From one of the other rooms – she thinks it’s the kitchen, she’s not actually sure where Nicky had wandered to – there’s the sound of something breaking and crashing to the ground, and a muffled curse. 

Joe makes a questioning noise in the vague direction of the kitchen. A few moments later, Nicky appears in the doorway, covered in dust. “I am okay,” he says. “But I think we will need to go out to eat tonight.”

“Nothing?” 

Nicky shakes his head. “Unless you want to start a fire and go hunt some rabbits.”

Joe grins. “Just like old times, right?”

Nile shakes her head firmly, which makes Nicky smile. She loves them, but there’s no way they’re doing that. 

“We can probably clear out enough space in here,” Joe says, gesturing to the floor. “Get the sleeping bags out of the car. Probably have to start a fire anyway, but…”

Nile looks around again while Joe says something to Nicky in Arabic that makes him laugh. The house is falling apart, sure, but it’s structurally stable, and the bones are all there. It could be something. They’ve got time to make it something. 

Nicky is the one who goes for pizza in the end – he doesn’t trust Nile and Joe to order it if left to their own devices – while they try to clear out a space in the living room. Eventually, though, after Nile has another sneezing fit, Joe suggests they just take the sleeping bags outside instead, which works out a lot better. He sets about starting a fire with practiced ease while Nile sets out the sleeping bags around it. They’re far enough away from civilisation that she can’t hear cars passing by, which is kind of surreal, and the stars are brighter than she’s ever seen them. 

When Nicky gets back, two boxes balanced on one arm and a bottle of wine in the other, he looks over their makeshift camp and laughs. “Just like old times, then?” he asks.

Joe grins. “Except we have pizza.”

“And actual sleeping bags,” Nile says.

“Ah, these modern inventions could never quite match the comfort of a pile of furs,” Joe says wistfully. Nile gives him a look. She’s ninety percent sure that one’s bullshit, but she can never quite tell with him. 

Nicky sets down the pizza boxes, and jogs back to the car to grab the pack of plastic wine glasses they’d bought before they got here. 

“We should’ve bought marshmallows,” Nile says. “Could have made s’mores.”

“Well, we’ll have to go to the hardware store tomorrow anyway,” Joe points out. “And I think it’ll be a little while before we can actually sleep in there.”

“Tomorrow, then?”

“Tomorrow,” Nicky agrees.

Taking teen skk to missions abroad must have been horrible. The world is their playground no matter where they are. They're never in their hotel rooms, they run down the hallways knocking on every door, Dazai keeps pushing people into the pool and Chuuya goes to the spa four times a day. They go missing for two days and come back in different clothes, Chuuya has a buzz cut, Dazai has a cat that looks like it fought three wars and a half, and with them is a foreign man who promises Mori he doesn't care if Mori has three children and receding hairline, he has seen his picture and has fallen in love with him ("Dazai kun who is this guy" "We found you a husband" "I don't need one" "Yes you do")

49 for cadina

49. “Who hurt you?”

Regina is a few minutes away from the school when she spots someone sitting by the side of the road.

She's about to swerve and give them a wide berth as she passes, until she sees who it is, and she slams on her brakes instead.

It's Cady.

Cady looks up as Regina screeches to a halt, her face streaked with tears. Regina feels her breath get shallow as anxiety rises in her chest. She smacks the hazard light button and climbs out of the car.

"Cady? Are you okay?" Regina crouches down next to Cady and scans her face. Aside from some smeared mascara and red eyes, she seems mostly okay.

"I'm fine," Cady says, sniffling.

Regina sees Cady is clutching her knee, the skin scraped raw, and Regina sees red.

"Who hurt you? Who did this?" she growls, her vision almost blurring with how quickly her anger rushes through her.

"What? No one," Cady says, looking confused.

"Who, Cady?" Regina asks again, more urgently, gripping Cady's shoulders. Cady's head bobs a little with the motion. "I'll kill them right now. Nobody will find the body."

"Regina! Nobody hurt me," Cady insists. "I fell off my bike." She points a few feet behind her, where there is indeed a bike lying on its side in some bushes.

All of Regina's anger drains out of her body at once, like someone pulled a plug. Cady is okay, she repeats to herself.

"Sorry," Regina says, feeling a little embarrassed at her overreaction. "I just saw you crying by the side of the road, and..." She trails off.

"Well, it hurt." Cady turns her palms up, and they're scraped, too.

"Yeah, I bet it does." Regina fishes in her purse for some tissues, presses one to Cady's bleeding knee. "Where's your helmet?"

Cady shrugs. "I forgot it."

"You were riding your bike without a helmet?!"

"What are you, my mom?"

"No, but I'll tell your mom," Regina threatens, and when Cady's eyes widen she waves a hand. "Kidding, kidding."

"Thanks," Cady says, smiling a little, and Regina brushes a lock of red hair out of Cady's face without thinking, barely resisting the urge to cup Cady's face and brush the tears away with her thumbs. "And thanks for, you know, offering to kill someone for me."

"Of course I would," Regina says. "Isn't that what friendship is?"

Cady laughs and gives Regina a smile—Regina's favorite smile of Cady's, the one that feels like it's just for her, affectionate and fond and intimate, crinkling the corners of her eyes. The smile that always makes Regina smile reflexively back, the one that makes her heart beat a little faster.

"Come on," Regina says, standing and offering Cady a hand. Then she remembers that Cady's hands and scraped and gross, so Regina just kind of hauls her up by the arms. "I'm driving you home."

"But what about my bike?" Cady asks.

"Someone can come back for it later," Regina says, opening the passenger door for Cady. "But I think this is a sign you should retire that thing. How many times have you crashed it now?"

"I'm getting better," Cady insists.

"Lord save us all when you start driving," Regina says as she buckles herself in.

Cady pouts and crosses her arms, so Regina reaches over and squeezes Cady's leg. Cady looks a little startled, and Regina realizes how high up on Cady's though her hand is, and she quickly brings it back to the steering wheel, her palm burning from the contact.

Driving Cady around might be better for Cady's safety, but definitely not for Regina's own sanity.

I like to think that Jeremy and Christine did end up doing that bowling alley performance art and then proceeded to get banned from every single bowling alley in New Jersey

Contrary to popular belief Dib has not in fact been ousted from his place as a Top Three Blorbo

How can I bribe you into helping me get a job in the industry, other than promising my undying love, which you already have <3

The industry is horrible and awful, low pay, long hours, no real chance of advancing.

Whenever people touring the station or new interns ask me for advice, I always tell them to change careers lol

Assen 2004: Jorge Lorenzo, Casey Stoner, Andrea Dovizioso and Roberto Locatelli compete in an intense last lap battle in the 125cc race, during which Lorenzo runs onto the grass.

From Riveras Tobia's 'Jorge Lorenzo: My Story So Far':

I picked up my bad reputation in 2004. It was at Assen, in the Dutch TT, when I ran onto the grass and came back to go from fourth to first in half a lap. I made some pretty risky moves to get past Locatelli, Dovizioso and Stoner.

From Stoner's autobiography:

I had my first real chance to win in round six, at Assen, but I got screwed up by Jorge Lorenzo's antics on the final lap. The two of us were in a scrap with Locatelli and Dovizioso and I was the strongest in the last part of the track so I felt like I had the race under control. Lorenzo was on the grass in a few places, doing whatever he felt was necessary to make a pass, and midway around the final lap as we tipped into a flat-out left he came through and nearly wiped me out, costing me a couple of positions and, to my mind, potentially the win. It was typical of him at the time and I wasn't too happy [...].

At Rio, Valentino Rossi is asked about the last lap of the 125cc race - having been involved in a controversial last lap of his own at Assen.

Q: Just one more question - Valentino, back at Assen I wondered if you had time to watch the 125 race and if you did, did you watch the last lap and what did you think of the last lap of the 125 race at Assen? VR: [laughs] Yes, I watch the 125 live. Eh - the last lap was incredible. For sure, all the riders are very aggressive, maybe risk a little bit too much, especially when change the line in the straight. But the 125 is like this, also when we were in 125. The bike go a little bit more slow, are lighter, so is possible to make that maneuver like stay on the grass with the gas open. Q: Perhaps MotoGP is becoming like 125. VR: A little bit, yes, unfortunately is impossible - because we need less time for the same piece of straight, the same part of the track. For sure is more difficult but when the races are so close like in Assen or in South Africa or in Mugello also, have great fun for sure.
