When people (me) say that Democrats build the state apparatus that Republicans use to harm us, this is what they mean.

#us politics #kosa #two wings on the same bird #one hand washes the other #i hate the 2 party system #i have a vote waiting for anyone who isn’t a liberal or a Republican.

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

#'but lucabyte didnt you already do a comic with this exact same message? that loop has potentially killed their party intentionally before?'#yes i did absolutely do that thank you for noticing. that is what the cannibalism comic is about. no that was not a metaphor. lol #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #sifloop #isat siffrin #isat loop #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #lucabyteart #ill ramble elsewhere some other time. maybe in a text post. but. long and short of it: even if you assume the answer to 'how do they know'#is that in sasasap isa got frozen once. theres still the fact that the loops are from sif being too distressed. how far gone does a siffrin #have to be before they can witness a party member die and notice it has no effect. how does loop feel to have planned to kill the party #during act 3. why did they NEED to show sif that. are they trying to preemtively stop them from getting the idea in their head #that maybe that might work? when they're out of all other options? when they just get so frustrated and at wits end?#loop helps in subtle ways through the whole game. and in less subtle ways like begging sif not to use the dagger. and while yes the #overarching reason you need to learn that the loops are tied to sif is because you need to figure out wish craft.... loop doesn't know the #actual mechanics of the loops themselves. just what didn't work. the power of friendship. getting the final hit in. being perfect. etc...#and besides all that.. how did loop feel during that hangout. being so deceitful. especially since before the other shoe drops #sif is enjoying themselves. but they know what's coming the whole time.#as for: why bathing? its the obvious imagery for blood on their hands/washing/never being clean. and is a bit of an inversion of the other #piece i just drew with the other casual closeness and nudity being kind. this one is cruel instead.#anyway tag ramble over ill do a masterpost of all my fanwork with some directors commentary sometime i promise. since i know im often vague

I forget if you've covered this before, but do either of the boys smoke in the modern day version? My assumption is no, but I do think it would be cute for one to stop for the other's sake. I also think both would look extremely handsome doing it (until Machete breaks out into a coughing fit).

In modern au, Machete started stress smoking at around 14 or 15, initially prompted by peer pressure (he wanted to impress his friends, most of which seemed way cooler than him). He was never an incessant chain smoker but it was something he could do to manage his anxiety (or at least feel like he had some control over it). He continued until he met Vasco.

With Vasco's support, he managed to quit shortly after their relationship became serious, mostly out of fear of bothering his boyfriend with the smell. He still sometimes fidgets with the lighter when he's feeling agitated.

#answered #rubricmarine #modern au #smoking #cw smoking #he's always been extra nervous about health stuff but that didn't stop him from finding excuses to keep smoking #“yes this is certainly bad but if I'm really careful (paranoid) about every other potential danger I can afford this one controlled vice"#“surely my diligent efforts to eat my veggies and wash my hands and drive like a model citizen balance the scales?”

cannot stop thinking about an AU where Bucky gets the same treatment as Steve (ie. serumed and vitarayed.)

So he shoots up to 6' 8" or something ridiculous and is built like a brick shithouse. To everyone else he's almost Too Big, but to Steve it's just like being small again while Bucky is ...Large, and Steve is permanently flustered about it. 😳🥺

#bucky: hey stevie you're not unnerved by how big I am now are ya?#steve: *sweating* n- nO #bucky: *casually leaning giant forearm on steve's shoulder* hey is your asthma coming back??#steve: *panting/wheezing* I'M FINE 🥵#bucky: heheh I'm so big now I bet I could pick you up and spin you around like we used to-#steve: bUCK PLS 😭#bucky barnes #steve rogers #stucky #fic idea #see also: ppl meeting giant bucky and being like 'oh they called those toys bucky BEARS? 😨 yh. yh makes sense'#bucky being self-conscious about his new size finding a dance class full of other non-skinny/average ppl to blend in #(discovering he is now catnip to dancers who want to be made to look teeny & delicate and also flung about like hula-hoops)#steve's extreme protectiveness of bucky being IN NO WAY diminished...#...by the fact that bucky is now a head taller and wider than steve in every direction #alpine looks like a tiny fluffy kitten in his giant hands and ppl are like '???' when she comes closer and is a full grown maine coon #bucky volunteering to test extra-stretchy pants designs for bruce for when he hulks out #being like 'damnit I ripped them right up the crotch again these ones are a wash out' while steve is like 'ohhh nooo. that is. terrible.' 👀

Because if they materially improve things, they lose their leverage. The current situation is good for democrats. They know they’ll still be in power about 50% of the time. Why rock the boat and risk making things too nice?

Republicans have made SCOTUS unhealthy. It is a done deal.

Democrats changing SCOTUS is not unhealthy.

#us politics #3 card Monty #If the right one don’t get ya then the left one will #paid to lose #this serves them #we are told to lie down and vote in the face of violence #One hand washes the other #two wings on the same bird #ask yourself how a progressive court would harm their donors

Mansfield Park paints a very vivid picture of a world convicted of sin but without any access to or even imagination of grace or forgiveness. Edmund, whose morals are held up as impeccable, is literally ordained to the priesthood in the course of the novel—but where, in all his principles, is Jesus? is redemption? is the Cross? Fanny is held up as Henry’s salvation, but she can only guarantee the right guidance of his future actions, there is no repentance or forgiveness for his old ways. and if there is no way for his former sins to find their place in the story of his salvation (if I’d chosen differently I never would have met you! o happy fault!), is it any wonder he falls back into them?? there is no Christ figure, there is only Victorian duty. it leaves everyone but the perfect out in the cold.

#it’s Austen’s most PITILESS novel and it’s chilling #on the one hand I know I’m applying an anachronistic lens to the novel #but on the other hand. Austen had the Bible. everyone of her time period did. she should have known better #like the finality of Loss of Virtue is so extremely unChristian!!!!!#read the Gospels and maybe you’ll calm down!!!!!!!!#the problem with Mansfield isn’t that it’s moralizing. it’s that its morals are wrong #obviously what Henry and Maria do is wrong! but just as Mary chalking the whole thing up to folly is wildly incomplete #so Edmund and Fanny and the whole society washing their hands of them and almost treating it as inevitable is incomplete #cate reads

i will always shout praises of bi4bi but given recent discourse I feel the need to say that I love bi4het too! I just love bisexuality in general in its many forms, and anyone who only likes it when it's 'queer enough' for them is biphobic. Bisexuals should be able to bring their LaMe CiShEt BoYfRiEnD to pride without being made to feel like spectators and outsiders to their own event.

#3 am queer discourse take <3 #anyways hot take number two. cishets do belong at pride. everyone who wants to celebrate queerness should be welcomed at pride #if a completely cishet business major fratboy wants to come to pride and vibe with us then he should be welcomed!#not even like. oh he has a queer sibling. no. if he's just a cishet dude who wants to spend his saturday at a parade then hell yeah #like completely ignoring that you have no way to tell he's definitively those things. it shouldn't matter regardless imo #pride is not a secretive club you need to be let into. it's a feeling and a celebration and a statement and a state of being #and whatever you want it to be #burying my other related hot take under the tags readmore ksdjksdjksdj #idk. i'm just tired of a lot of the things people seem to think about bisexuality's validity relating to bi women specifically #this is frustration with the gatekeepy and straight-passing discourse of it all #I'm tired of people being expected to act and to preform and to BE queer enough for others' opinions.#am I still welcome if I haven't been with a woman in a few years? if I dress boring? if I like m/f? if I don't listen to chappell roan?#joking on that last one but like. idk. never straight enough for the straights but never gay enough for the gays #constantly some mercurial in-between that offers no comfortable easy group to put us in.#what do i have to do to not be judged as a filthy hettie? are my doc martens enough for you yet?#like oh sorry let me cuff my jeans and have a bob and wear a button up over a cami and wear etsy earrings. am I visually bi enough yet?#let me apologize for the cardinal sin of liking men too. let me wash my hands of any time a cishet man has held them.#if it was a bisexual man then just hand sanitizer is fine right? where do you draw the line on my queerness?#let me preform for you in a way that makes me queer enough.#anyways. sarcasm aside. I think I've made my distaste for this whole affair evident #if you don't want cishets at pride then what happens to those you incorrectly deem as cishet? do I need to prove myself to you?#am I passing as straight? am I passing as gay? am I enough for onlookers?#is it not enough to just show up at pride and celebrate? anyone and everyone who wants to?

Hera: Dear gods, Zeus! You’re bleeding! Quickly, what’s your type?

Zeus: Uh- anything in a dress?

*Ganymede rushes past them to get a first aid kit*

Zeus: Or a chiton.

Hera: No, you idiot! Your blood type!

Zeus: … warm, preferably.

Where should you be kissed?

Knuckles. it feels as though you have fought every day of your life. sometimes, you cannot even tell how much of the blood on your hands is your own... and how much comes from those who've tried to hurt those you defend. you deserve the gentleness of a kiss to your bruised knuckles and broken skin, a reminder that you are not only made of violence.

dream is hot he is attractive as hell ummmmm the lighting was amazing. constantly doing him right. he did look like modern jesus. a deity. i didnt even get there late but i happened to be somewhat behind maybe the tallest man ever so i was kinda microdosed with his face and honestly it was glorious. blessed to even be in his presence. the way i would stop breathing when i saw him. what the hell

the sweetest kindest loveliest comfiest gentleman idk how he did it but it felt so personal and i think everyone thought he was looking at them a little i was in the back and im short and i was like what is this eye contact. you can see me?? i can see you!!! checked up on the crowd constantly asking if we ate today or if we were thirsty and needed water. said i love you a lot. incredibly charismatic and engaging. bright and funny and himself. ADORABLE AND ENDEARING.

a natural born performer. it was basically a one man show (plus dj tiiiiiiiiiip and keyboardist and drummer ayyyyyyy). he was the mc. he was the entertainment. he was the performer. he was the distraction. he was the planner. head of the team. a target for balls (he wanted to be hit in the face with one). improv artist and choreography king. VOCALS!!! he hit all the notes! falsettos! what can he not do??!!

there was a game where we had to guess who was dream and how did i know who it was immediately. say there are three people lined up with identical outfits and masks. immediately noticed #3 is taller and broader than the others. when asked “did your job before youtube start with an a?” #3 puts not one thumbs up but TWO. arms big and wide to give TWO enthusiastic thumbs up. when asked to do heart hands they all do a bad job. who had the biggest proudest heart even though it was bad. #3. the bigger broader one. immediately dream. one of the other ones was an old man lolol.

the beginning of the show before he comes out??? when is beyonce releasing the visuals????? a documentary will be made. TRUST.

WAS NOT SMELLY!!!

NEED PANIC ATTACK ON ALL PLATFORMS STAT!!!!

#literally cried during mask then ran home it was a fever dream #i have xs on my hands from the venue and i will never wash them ever again #wish i got there earlier but other than the tall man there were two kids in front of me who were having a blast it was sweettttt #dream is like an apple pie fresh out of the oven #it was really very amazing and i cant stress how well dream did and how much i love him times one thousand #droncert #dreammysunshine

I just canceled spotify. I've been thinking about it for a long time, what with all the AI clutter and intrusiveness. Lately it felt like their generated playlists were less and less based off of my listening and more and more based off of what's popular by and large. This year's lackluster wrapped really did it in for me. Anyone have recommendations for a new service?

#i love going over my spotify wrapped #last year's was so fun #and this one just completely sucked #and i'm so tired of AI dj trying to pull itself up randomly #and all the other ai nonsense that keeps popping up all over the place #i wash my hands of it

A part of cleaning that’s difficult that u don’t see mentioned as often is that the Cleaning Implements become filthy, because you are using them to clean. And well. The fact that the cleaning implement required to facilitate the cleaning is filthy becomes a massive barrier to The Cleaning. I have to touch this thing, that is filthy. Transferring past filth to new surface, to “clean”? Dear lord

#‘’keep your tools clean’’ not so simple if u share with others who do not have this problem.#Con stop yapping #was thinking abt how nice it would be if I had a hand vacuum that was JUST for the bed area #to keep it clean between sheet washes #bc I have dry fuck skin and um you Can Tell #and also abt the other day I cleaned work’s brand new vacuum bc it wasn’t too late to keep it clean #but no one else is going to wipe down the vacuum every time you know.
