With all the talk from Harry about Jace wanting revenge me thinks Jace might be on board with b&c....
me too. i don't actually think he'll be planning b&c or agree directly with child murder but i don't think it's too wildly out of character for jace to agree with daemon but not with his methods as we've seen in season 1. jace wants revenge and daemon is likely the only person who is doing something about it. i've seen countless people catastrophizing about jace's part in b&c because if rhaenyra doesn't agree with it why is dutiful jace agreeing? and likeeeeee we've seen several instances (if you also count the deleted scene in ep 10) of jace disagreeing with rhaenyra's way of doing stuff, it doesn't mean he's going to up and leave her. and this also doesn't mean jace has stopped hating daemon lmao. i just see jace as a very practical person and well, this is a 15-16 yo grieving for his little brother in a world where they have nukes so.

Also I'm just gonna say that even if it were true that Rodimus was a """""true Prime"""" and Optimus wasn't, that isn't as much of an L for Optimus as people seemingly want it to be.
Like so you're telling me Optimus was never a chosen hero and the burden of the Matrix/leadership pained him morally, emotionally, and physically, yet he still survived 4 million years of war?
You're telling me he wasn't God's Designated Special Boy but he still tried his best to live up to that impossible ideal to the point of developing serious depression and suicidal ideation as a result of so much goddamn loneliness and self-doubt?
Optimus wasn't a "true Prime" and yet he still believed in ideals of reconciliation and ending the cycle of violence? He wasn't a true Prime but he still stayed on Cybertron trying to fix a broken, broken society while also trying to stop Earth from being invaded for a second time? He didn't even need to do that he could've just stayed in exile which he was originally supposed to do all along, and which he would've personally preferred?? You're telling me that Optimus wasn't Primus' Specialest Boy And Chosen Leader and yet he stepped into leadership anyways bc he perceived that there was injustice to be fixed??
Wow yeah I guess Optimus is just such an inferior leader, clearly his actual actions/moral character as person don't matter and his "worthiness" should be judged solely on whether the Magic Cybertronian 8 Ball liked him or not.

something i’ve observed while watching videos of Videogame Men talking about punishing indie games is that they’re always like this game is INSANE HELL DIFICULTY it will BEAT YOUR ASS it will MAKE YOUU CRY AND CALL YOU A BABY!!! and then i play the game and it’s not that bad and it turns out the gamer with the youtube channel may just not be very good at this specific kind of videogame. and im not a Gamer whos Skilled at videogames i dont know how to aim and i only care about games that are 70% reading. and its never an AVGN type guy its always the video essay introspective I Have Deep Things To Say ones doing this. I’m not talking about shit like dark souls btw i mean like pathologic or fear and hunger. Which are games i feel are gonna wreck your brain only if youre wayyy to used to like, aaa first person shooter or high profile rpg-elements sandbox games.... like i’ve seen people call disco elysium a game that’s hard to get into gameplay wise. but i think if i gave my 50yo dad disco elysium and left him to his own devices he wouldnt have a hard time learning the gameplay ropes of it because he’s not brain poisoned by skyrim. like sometimes the problem is that you haven’t dedicated your middle school years to playing shitty indie horror rpgmaker games with a lot of unfair instakills and shitty puzzles.... and now you automatically assume the obvious way to beat a game is thru sheer violence and skill so the moment a game puts you in a position of Uh oh maybe you can’t kill this guy even if you get really good! maybe inflicting as much violence as you can isn’t the way forward! it makes videogame men go 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 is this the hardest most challenging videogame EVER?

I know that people talk a lot about breaking generational trauma, but there's not enough discussion around parents who try so hard to break that generational trauma and end up going into depression because they can't be that perfect parent who will always make the right parenting decisions & will never expose their child to trauma at all.
You're traumatized! Sometimes you'll impulsively make bad parenting decisions because it's literally what you've been used to growing up!
However, it does NOT excuse abusive behavior towards your child. You can't just be like "well this is what I went through, so you need to suck it up and deal with it too."
The best way to actually make progress is to apologize to your child, explain where your behavior comes from, and tell them that IS IT NOT THEIR FAULT that you are making those mistakes. Ask them what hurts them the most and what you can do better, then try to stick to that.
But You also need to learn to forgive yourself for your mistakes.
Because if you don't, the guilt will eat at you so much that it negatively affects your mood, which negatively affects your actions, which negatively affects the way you treat your child(ren).
(the same could be said about any relationship, honestly.)
One thing I realized about my own parents is that even though they made mistakes, they didn't put me through the same trauma they went through. At the very least, they recognized that a lot of the things that were done to them were horrible, and kept my brother and I from experiencing even half of what they went through. I'm definitely still traumatized by their behavior, but not nearly as much as they were traumatized. My mom was abused by her father, and my dad lost both of his parents at 14 and had to take care of his younger siblings on his own at that age.
I mention that because that because it's an example of how you can't break all generational curses by yourself. It might still take a couple more generations. But you're still making that progress, and in time, your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc will have less and less trauma throughout each generation.
It sucks that you can't immediately be that perfect parent that will never make the same mistakes as your parents. But you're doing a better job than you think.

secret lost days that exists in my head where the first time jason kills he gets violently sick really bad chills nightmares vomiting emotional flashbacks & he goes into denial and tries to kill the next time a situation comes up but reacts even worse & ends up saving the person he fatally wounded which makes him feel extra sick bc its a shit human. and then its about him facing that the fact that the path he WANTS so desperately to choose of how to come back from death/the way he believes is the only way to make a change, violently & destructive, he can’t do. so now what. you come back your dad didnt avenge you you cant avenge yourself if you cant make the world explode how the fuck do you live with it all. you dont even want to be here with how you are now and newsflash youre being forced to become something new AGAIN (learn a way to fight/control crime that allows ppl to live when you dont believe in that currently or learn to fight off the streets as a civilian or abandon it all)

this post isnt going to sound serious at all but it is. daisuke is magical girl aligned in spirit like hes a shoujo mc not a shounen mc so rather than beat the shit out of anybody his first priority at all times is to protect and make friends with them. power of friendship blah blah dream arcs and love no tournament arcs and bare chests. but he's still CRIME aligned. his entire family is and canonically has deep blackmarket / other random shady ass connections. daisuke himself has only met maybe like. one of these people, who also happened to be another student at his school and on the niwa family's side, but there's nothing stopping me or him from having more random shady ass criminal aligned friends/figures.

george did not write “if i were a woman id be cersei” and vice versa as correct statements imo. while i do believe that their respective trials that they faced as a result of their gender had grave effects on them as people and shaped them into much of what they are, i still think there are fundamental differences in nature. like this is demonstrated by how differently they acted as little children (treatment of tyrion, murder of melara, etc). i think they have some core distinctions. especially with what they personally desire the most above all else and their differing levels of empathy. this was no doubt influenced by their experiences and societal roles as well but i do still think it is part of their nature too. they have some very interesting and important similarities, but they are by no means the exact same only distinguished by experiences. i think it is always a mix of nature and nurturer, like your experiences can suppress or intensify certain qualities that you have, for better or worse. they have agency. they responded to their trauma in their own way. the twins not being the same person on a fundamental level is meant to be subversive. put in opposite positions i do not think we would have the exact same people just switched. like this feels like it is emphasized in the text to me

hi jason! sorry if youve answered this before, but what does aaoc stand for? i love the posts that you tag as such so im curious :]
its my tag for posts that remind me of my wip fic(s) !! i havent 100% settled on what to name the series yet but pretty early on in development i stumbled upon that passage by julian k jarboe (from the book everyone on the moon is essential personnel) that goes
Why does God create grapes and wheat, but not wine and bread? God does this because God wants us to share in the act of creation. To be how you made me, to become how God made me, though you, I can remake myself. You and I: we are already only whole, and shifting towards the divine.
and the author also has a tweet relating this concept to transsexuality and youve probably already seen one or both of these floating around on tumblr already but whatever i just wanted to center my t4t hannigram fic around these quotes cause theyre just. so good.
so yeah it stands for "an act of creation" except it should probably be "#taoc" if i wanted it to match the original quote but i cba to go and change it now which is probably not how placeholder tags are meant to work !! oh well . fic playlist <3
