Hora de acabar com advogado armado. Quem é honrado não precisa ostentar armamento. Servidor público é punido, advogado tem que ser. Esses filhotes fascistas, frequentadores de CACs proliferam no país e querem fazer tudo à força e na ameaça, uma realidade triste que SP conhece bem.

Quando as autoridades não agem, Deus se encarrega.

Happy "every other month" to those who live in countries where they cannot celebrate pride and those who live in extremely controlling environments and never had access to LGBT communities or resources in fear of being harmed, disowned, left homeless, or killed.

I hope one day everything will turn out alright for us.

Councilors vs Chem-Barons

Remember that creators wanted to "show there is merits and flaws on both sides"? While I still feel that agenda in the first season, the second season is... well.

The easiest way to see that creators wanted you to be more sympathetic to Piltover is to look at the rulers of both cities. The Council is flawed but mostly fine, while Chem-Barons are purely bad.

You can protest that 'wait, but in s1 we saw that the Council is corrupted' and... i agree with that. But let's take a closer look at all members with information from both s1 and s2, hmm?

Torman Hoskel was portrayed as silly and easily manipulated person. He is the worst among them.

Salo makes the same appearance as Hoskel in s1. But in s2 he becomes disabled. This is the easiest way to manipulate you into sympathizing him. Of course, this wouldn't change your view of him completely, since his personality remained the same, but you can understand his anger (his suffering is shown on the screen). Besides, later when Viktor heals his legs, Salo changes, losing his arrogance and becoming a good person.

Irius Bolbok is strict, composed and slightly harsh ruler (remember him saying to find the culprit no matter what). But he isn't shown as bad as Hoskel and Salo in s1. He is quite decent.

Shoola was portrayed as reasanable ruler from very beginning. She was the first who said "They [zaunites] may not be your preferred consituents but they're still our people." She was the first after Mel who voted for Zaun's independance. In s2, we see how she cares about people rather than acting in the interests of revenge like Salo.

Cassandra Kiramman was also showed as good person even in s1. She might not be active Zaun's simpathizer but she did schedule an audience for Caitlyn and Vi giving them a chance to change Councilors opinion about Zaun (ofc it's bc Cait is her daughter but Cassandra could just deny her). Also in s2 we learn that she built a ventilation system which makes her the only Councilor (beside Jayce) who actually did something for Zaun.

Mel Medarda is shown as a woman who does things for her own benefit, manipulating others. But she still did vote for the independence of Zaun (albeit for personal reasons). You also can't say that she's a bad person or that she's done really bad things for her cause (like Silco for example).

Jayce is a bad politician and has made few mistakes, but at the end of the day, he is a good man.

Heimerdinger is portrayed as good person as well.

Even though we know that all of them are corrupt (except Heimer) and that they have ignored Zaun for decades, only one of them has no good traits and completely unlikable (Hoskel).

But what do we have with Chem-Barons?

Finn is an idiot and power-hungry.

Rennie is too. She lost her son, which to some extent makes you understand her attacks on memorial (not justify, just understand), but the show itself does not even focus on this fact, ignoring that little nuance.

Chross's goons force children to work in the mines. He also fights for Silco's chair to gain more power.

Smeech's business is connected to shimmer (i guess he provides it after Silco's death?). Only, unlike Silco, Smeech isn't shown as someone who uses shimmer simply as a tool to achieve a higher goal (nation of Zaun). He is just power-hungry like others. Also s2 shows that he doesn't value his own people.

Margot is unloyal as well. "I'd rather favor my chances with Topside". She fights for power like others.

Silco is the only one who commits bad deeds for a higher purpose. All he wants is an independent Zaun, not power itself. We see his positive traits such as dedication to his city, love for Jinx and others, which makes him the only really likable among other Chem-Barons.

Of course the government doesn't represent people themselves. We saw that there are good people in Zaun and there are bad people in Piltover. But you know what it does represent? Creators' true view of Piltover/Zaun conflict.

Despite everything Piltover was ready to grant Zaun independence. The Council was shown flawed but the characters themselves were not completely bad persons. You, as a viewer, can understand and sympathize them. Creators made sure you will sympathize them.

But Zaun? Bandits and criminals who don't think beyond their pockets. The only person who did and tried to do something good for Zaun was wrong, bc s2 promotes us "violence is not the answer" and "power of forgiveness" agenda.

So where are the "merits and flaws on both sides" again?

I wish there was a separate series on Powepunk Girls. It would be very cool and interesting

"Caitlyn's use of the Grey is completly unacceptable no matter what anyone says"

Oh I completly agree, I think using chemical weapons, regardless of the context of why they were used, is something that is absolutely unjustifiable and unforgiveable. There's a reason why said use is considered a war crime in our world.

Hey, quick question, remind me what did Jinx do at the end of act 1 with the Grey?

Well, I'm sure it's fine in this case. I think 'completly unacceptable' will become rather malleable depending on who you are asking about.

Some of y'all NEED to realize that it is completely possible to uplift transmasc voices and try to talk about their issues without pushing down and being transmisogynistic as fuck towards transfems- especially trans women in particular.

[the1312daysofchristmas]

sorry but as a black person from the global south being from the global north vs south is an axis of oppression even if you are black. like it doesnt cancel out the black vs nonblack axis but it is still there. you have access to the plundered wealth of the global south in the form of ALL infrastructure and ALL aspects of your economy, and while as a black american you are excluded from that wealth in many ways and it is difficult to access, it is still POSSIBLE to access. like you drive on well paved roads and have (at least on paper, which is way more than we have) access to government services for your benefit. these were funded by the exploitation of black people, yes, but they were also funded by the exploitation of the global south through globalization. it is more difficult for black people to access this wealth, yes, but compare that to black people in the global south, who CANNOT access this wealth. at all.

this conversation really annoys me because there are a bunch of black american bloggers whos opinions i respect arguing a bunch of nonblack bloggers from the global south and the argument is always that it boils down to antiblackness even when the global southerner is specifically talking about the north south divide and not talking about race. like in much the same way that individual white people arent responsible for racism individual global northerners are not responsible for the exploitation of the global south but it is still a privilege and i am quite tired of people acting like the issue is antiblackness and not the very real question of 'would being in the global south improve or worsen my material conditions' because like thats a very clear cut answer.

Hey I saw your south german-american Thalia and Jason grace post and I wanted to ask if you had any more headcanons around it? I've always loved the German American Grace family headcanons but there's not a lot of content with it

(btw I'm not German but I find it really cool)

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoy the headcanons ^^ Now to be quite honest, I don't really have much more on them. Mostly because at this point I prefer my german-american Luke headcanon. Though if I had to come up a few it's probably just a lot of angst from Jason. I mean...Thalia at least had some time to know her german side. She knows the basics of the culture and speaks the language. The "Servus" from the original post for example being a friendly greeting in south Germany which I think she would use. But Jason? He may aswell not be German at all. Besides some light language tics like a hard "R" or throaty "such" he has nothing. Not even his own name remains as it was supposed to be, having been changed to the English pronunciation. He's Roman, not German. And I think that would so, so tragic. Especially on top with his whole identity issues caused by the amnesia. Just imagine having to find out that not only did you lose your memories, but you also had a whole facet of your identity stolen from you. Thalia would be fine if she got dropped in Germany tomorrow, Jason would be completely lost. He doesn't even know the language. Just imagine Jason finding out he's partially German and attempting to learn it, only to fail horribly. German is a complicated language and frankly said, a torture to learn (if the tales of my friends with German as a second language). Or Jason trying to somehow connect to the culture only to find himself as a complete loss. German culture is multifaceted and very catholic in the south. Someone raised at CJ would probably have his troubles really understanding it. And this isn't even mentioning that in the very old traditions and communities, Jason most certainly would feel like an outsider. Would be an outsider, considering how most people would have partaken and been in these communities ever since they were born.
