If anything wakes up the democrats, I would really think it would be the voter turnout numbers. Trump lost tons of votes between last election and this election, his fans might be more rabid than ever, but broad support for him has actually fallen significantly. The problem is just that the dems shit the bed so hard with Biden's presidency and then Harris' campaign that they lost all support
#it would have been an easy win if the dems hadnt done the worst they possibly could#you would think that hemorrhaging a massive lead in early polls as the election got closer would have been a sign for them to change cours#but they kept trying to appeal to moderate republicans and lost all the democrats without getting any of the republicans#even just biden having been more active during his presidency would have done a lot to keep some momentum#but they let everyone lose confidence in their team and then they started pandering to the right#of course they would lose

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one
#aromantic people are just sexy i'm not making the decisions here it's just facts#course ur hot as fuck. it came free with the aromanticism#being sexy is just default settings for aromantic people 👍#hope this all helps. anyway i'm on my 'i hope i die alone <3 i can't wait to die alone <3' kick rn#i think the existential fear that people have of Not Partnering specifically is so. well.#obviously that shit is strong and it is SO awesome to be free of it.#realizing you're aro and you don't Want a partner can be such a hit to the solar plexus#cause society says that's the only thing that'll make you happy. so either you go without that thing or you force yourself#into doing something you don't want which would make you unhappy anyway.#so you think it's a lose lose situation and you have to come to terms with what amatonormativity presents as the worst possible situation#but then! whoa! turns out personhood is inherently valuable in and of itself and romantic partnering is just a construct!#and that nightmare is now your life to do with as you please... define as you will... structure as you want...#best case scenario. is what i'm saying.#every day i wake up ready to spit all that amatonormative rhetoric back in life's teeth by being alone and being happy#and it's so fucking satisfying. every day.#fucking JUBILANT being by myself. and i love being a living breathing 'fuck you' to the romantic system#you need a partner to be happy? oh that's sooo fucking crazy guess i'll go be miserable then. in my perfect fucking dream life lmao#yeah obviously it's the worst possible outcome on earth to die without a partner. so terrible. can't wait for it :)#aromantic#aromanticism#aro positivity#aroace#arospec#sorry to bitches who are sad about not having a partner. i could not give a fuck though get better soon#you couldn't EVER pay me enough to go back to a mindset in which my inherent value wasn't enough by myself.#FUCK that shit. absolutely miserable and a bad life outlook in general. like genuinely do the work w/ amatonormativity and get better#life is something that can be so fulfilling whether someone wants to kiss you or whatever or not#i'm on antidepressants and i have people i care deeply about. what the fuck would i need a partner for lmao

Let the revenge games begin.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#nie huaisang#He's gonna call his 5 horse friends up. They have to go on a 14 year long journey to finish the job but by god they will do it.#The sheer chaos in the Audio Drama is really fantastic. Reminds me of those traincar murder mysteries.#The lights go off and there's a scream and then BOOM dead body. Who did that!!!#Okay it was qi deviation and he did it to stop himself from killing his brother. He did it to himself.#JGY sadly has the worst alibi ever though. Both the strongest motivation and also uhhh presence at the scene.#Not to nitpick but as someone who loves murder mysteries - I do feel like even *one* other suspect would have made it stronger.#I get that he tried to make it look like an inevitable Qi Deviation and that it *is* something within the family legacy.#And a big part of NHS figuring it all out comes down to his own perceptiveness and intelligence.#If you weren't close enough to JGY and NMJ of course it looks like an accident.#Sadly 'guy who plays the 'poor little meow meow card'' is also weak to 'guy who plays the 'poor little meow meow card''.#NHS was the better subtle manipulator at the end. That's probably the strongest mystery part of MDZS. And why he's in my top 5.#My man pulled the 'kill him just as he falls from the top of his game and loses everything' gambit and I love him for it.

while the stables scene is a great example of percabeth's growth as a couple, particularly regarding their switch of roles in who plans for their future. an even better example is when they first told the other they loved them. annabeth, who is a well-respected strategist due to how well she can plan for the future, tells him as quickly as possible before something or someone could take him away from her again. she seized the first opportunity she had free of plan. percy, on the other hand, who is known for his impulsiveness and reckless planning, tells her two books later. not because he wasn't head over heels the entire hoo series. but because he was planning for the right moment. he wanted to wait until he could give her permanence and stability on a silver platter because he knows how much it means to her.
#and it make so much sense that annabeth would be the first to say 'i love you'#all of her decisions are deeply rooted in her fear of abandonment#so of course she would tell him as soon as she was sure since she spent the entire last series on the brink of losing him#and it makes so much sense that percy would wait for the right moment#not the moment they reunited#not the moment they were in the stables#not the moment annabeth returned from her quest to retrieve the parthenos#not the moment they were dangling above the pits of hell#and not the trek through the depth of tartarus#but at a place that symbolize the rilvary of athena and poseidon#he ends their rilvalry and seals their future with a kiss so great that it renders the annabeth chase speechless#these two are going to be the death of me#i love these two with all my heart#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#percabeth textpost#percabeth textposts#percabeth fluff#percabeth being the cutest couple to ever not exist

listened to most of The Art of War while hanging clothes at my job earlier and I'm going to just distill down the real advice for y'all without the twenty thousand similes and metaphors and such
Wars are expensive have them really fast
Don't kill your soldiers they need food and stuff
But sometimes put your soldiers into inescapable life or death situations because that's how you really get them to be workin' hard instead of hardly workin', y'know
Have more guys than the enemy and be smarter. The best way to win a war is to have every single favorable condition for winning a war. Hope that helps
DO NOT fight in a salt marsh
If your boss gives you a stupid order, don't follow that order
Be 15 min early to the battlefield
Attack the enemy's weak points. But also they might be faking weaknesses so don't attack if they seem weak. But attack their weak points. But also-
For the love of god don't let anyone read omens
#vic talks#if you limited sun tzu to 1-2 metaphors only per concept#and gave him the use of the words 'vice versa'#the art of war would be a pamphlet#sun tzu: so there's only direct and indirect warfare. this might not seem like a lot#me: it's fine#st: but there are only five primary colors but by combining them you get... a lot of colors#me: ok#sun tzu: and there's only five types of flavor but you can get... MANY flavors#me: OKAY#sun tzu: and there's five-#also. the urge to rewrite the first section of the book in the tone of someone trying to sell their online course is strong#st: ever wondered why YOU keep losing BATTLES? well I have a FOOLPROOF guide to becoming a SUCCESSFUL GENERAL!!#with just SIX SIMPLE TIPS you will RE-VITALIZE YOUR ARMY#CUT YOUR EXPENSES and...#IMPRESS YOUR SOVEREIGN!#and for the next 24 hours my private consultation rate is discounted

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for
#star trek: ds9#julian bashir#benjamin sisko#jake sisko#s1 Julian being so young and eager to prove himself and latching onto Sisko as this mentor figure to look up to#seeing Sisko with Jake and low-key seeking that fatherly figure connection which he won't even let himself think about#Sisko seeing this young brilliant doctor who's got all the makings to be something great and he's just GOTTA help him along#I think he would also catch on pretty quick that Julian's got Parental Issues#he tries to ask one day all casual like 'tell me about yourself :)' and Julian talks about nothing but Starfleet and med school#any attempts to ask about his family are met with awkward brief answers and redirections#and then theres the way Julian's eyes light up the first time Sisko invites him to watch a baseball game#like he Knows. he's a dad he Knows somethings up#but he doesnt pry#I also think it makes their dynamic more tragic towards the end of the series#where we have Sisko asking Julian to compromise his morals again and again#Julian's trust and respect for him gradually deteriorating#and then at the end of course Sisko is gone and they have no idea when he'll be back#which I think Julian would have a lot of complicated feelings about#but of course theres also Jake#I imagine they'd get closer#very brotherly dynamic#you know that scene in TNG where Wesley goes to Riker for girl advice and Riker and Guinan start flirting?#absolutely happens but with Jake asking Julian for girl advice and Julian wooing a girl at Quark's and Jake absolutely loses the plot#makes the events of ...Nor the Battle to the Strong more intense as well I think#also I like to think there'd be an episode where the B plot is Jake gets mad at Sisko and impulsively decides to move out#ends up at Julian's because he did not think this through#Julian is now very much caught in the middle of this family drama and he Fucking Hates It#also him and Jake are NOT compatible roommates but he's trying so so hard to be nice#eventually they have a talk and Julian cryptically hints at his own home life and tells Jake he's lucky he has a dad who cares so much#them being closer would work into what Alone Together sets up for them

do you ever just remember how one of the most effective things parvis said to get silence to lose faith in saria was essentially "do you really think she would ever choose YOU over everything?" and silence with her low self esteem really didn't believe saria would.
Then in the end saria really did choose them over everything, left her defense director job and her whole life up to that point behind for the sake of silence and ifrit. and silence still doesnt even know. do you ever think about that and lose your mind a little bit.
#turns out my pre lone trail jitters translate to reread the rhine lab manhua and lose my mind over it all over again#its one of those stories i could write multiple essays on#like silence's lack of self love#do you ever notice how in the final scene when she makes her big declaration about curing ifrit joyce and 'the many many infected'#she never mentions curing herself#how she runs into the flames looking for ifrit with no regard for her own safety during the diabolic crisis#even the funny gag moment with joyce is based on silence overworking herself and joyce pushing her to take care of herself#and here where parvis basically says saria would never choose you and silence instantly just accepts that as true#of course saria wouldn't choose her#even her big grudge against saria is anger on behalf of ifrit not for herself#this owl has such a big heart and so much love for everyone but herself#arknights#olivia silence#saria

sad news for Ukagaka archival efforts Σ´ω`)
all my archive.org uploads have suddenly been deleted following the data breach that was reported around 5-7 hours ago because I changed my login details, I'll try to re-upload the difficult to track down Ukagaka ghosts I documented and my Ukagaka related CD/floppy-disk rips somewhere and I'm going to try to learn how to host stuff myself (neocities is too expensive to keep paying for extra space on) but just wanted to warn my followers that if you change your archive.org email all of your uploads will be erased, to reset any passwords that are the same as your archive.org login. always remember to back up your work on Ukagaka ghosts and progress to a local drive or hard-drive!! right now a lot of the documentation on how to create your own ghost and the history of Ukagaka is lost but hopefully it'll be back soon
#you would think i would be better at data hoarding at this point but my laptops and harddrives keep breaking and i can't afford to replace#not ukagaka#glad I wasn't hacked but it's really disheartening to lose all that work#most of my uploads were desktop mascot or Ukagaka related and impossible to find anywhere else :(#dodgy accounts were stealing my files on archive.org but they were modifying the file sizes+removing sources so I doubt those are reliable#beware of what the hackers claim its pretty obviously bullshit#of course the israel government is bad#but framing the hack that way is definitely deflecting the blame to try to politicize it because afaik archive.org is not pro-israel at all#really sucks#i made this post when i first got the email about the databreach so i am so relieved nobody bought into the lies from the hackers but damn

Being invited to a 2000s party as a plus size woman
[Clown music]
#fatphobia#tw fatphobia#this is exactly why i cannot take the 2000 fashion revival.#you weren't there#it would simply destroy your mind to be fat in the 2000s.#'oh but what's the problem?? you can be fat and wear now rise jeans!' yes! NOW you can!#because being fat in 2024 is simply not an issue anymore!#'of course it is' yes to your old aunt it is. to your mom maybe it is sure and to some obscure tiktok user too sure it is#but not in the BIG SCENARIO. it is UGLY to call someone fat in a pejorative way nowadays#it's NOT EDUCATED. it's UGLY.#IT WASN'T THAT UGLY 20 YEARS AGO!#it was NORMAL to call a girl with minimal fat in her body a 'fat pig' in the 2000s. it could count as bullying but#as soon as you would reach out for an adult they would stare at you and say 'well maybe if you lose some weight they wouldn't say that#and it was a PARADOX to live as a chubby girl in that era because you would be FORCED to wear low rise jeans#that was the only kind available. and waist length was for oldies#and if you had to wear that then you had to be thin because if not your belly would be showing! and girl#you would wish you were INVISIBLE#tw 2000s#<- this one is for me#nonsims#non sims#so no i will never get the 2000s revival. because it will never be a revival without the inherent fatphobia#if you're fat and youre comfortable with 2000 fashion im very happy for you#because either you were born after 2005 or you are VERY strong and i envy your mind

You of all people should realize that sometimes motivations for behavior can be more complex and mysterious than tracing them back to one single childhood experience.
THE X FILES GIF MEME [2/9] SCENES from Oubliette (3.08)
#the x files#txf#dailytxf#txfedit#xfilesnet#fox mulder#dana scully#3x08#oubliette#txfmeme#memescenes#mine#yeah this is long and wordy but it's VERY important to me#i could be wrong but i think this is the first time we really see mulder push back on the notion that everything goes back to his sister#and he is so visibly hurt and angry that scully would even question him like this#but in a way she's right!#he was so profoundly shaped by losing his sister that of course that's the reason he fights so hard for women like lucy#but he's also right that his motivations are complex and go beyond his sister's abduction#unstoppable force meets immovable object or whatever#anyway am i making any sense? even if not i still love this scene and I LOVE this episode#there's so much to unpack here#i also love dd's delivery here#it's season 3 baby we are ACTING now

Ford, reading the Catcher in the Rye in highschool: *reads it like a good student but doesn't really understand why people like it as much as they do at the time, Holden is hard to relate to for him probs* [he would understand him more as he grew up]
Stanley, actually reading a The Catcher in the Rye and not cheating off of Ford for once: HE LIKE ME! HE JUST LIKE ME FR!!!!
#do yall see my vision#holden calls himself the family idiot. just like how stan calls himself the dumb twin.#holden doesnt wanna grow up n hates db for going into hollywood. stan just wants to hang out with ford n doesnt wanna lose him to college.#holden does bad n school and stan would too without ford#i feel like they both care a lot more than they actually let on more holden than stan but still#holden wants to protect children n stan of course does for mabel n dipper#there might be more but idk#btw fun fact i looked it up citr has been taught in schools basically right afrer its release in 1951#holden caulfield#the catcher in the rye#gravity falls#stanley pines#stan pines#stanford pines#ford pines#the catcher in the rye fandom in 2024 where u at??
