#or not because I have no inhibition

[42bakery]

Pecco and Jorge are embarrassing me atp. I have been making my hubby watch every motogp session to prove that motogp is the superior sport not f1 but they don’t want to win the championship and he is laughing at them, at least this time I let him sleep because the sprint was at 5 AM so he didn’t want to kill me for waking us up in the dead of night just so we can see who will fuck up

Hi there anon 👋👋👋👋

Well done for pushing your hubby into MotoGP, but he's missing the most important thing, who's going to screw more?

MotoGP has always been about who is more consistent, and that includes who is the one who crashes the least, and who is in the front the most. in 2020, Joan Mir won the championship, and he wasn't the fastest one , or the one with more wins or podiums. Quartararo and Rins beat him at that. Joan simply managed to score points nearly every weekend. In fact, he only won one race. And this reminded me that Emilio Alzamora, who used to be the Marquez and Quartararo's manager won the championship without a win.

But this year is all about which Ducati will win, and I think this will get me killed, but none of them are mentally strong for that. They are used to pressure another rider, but having the pressure to be in the front or pretty close is what's killing them. One second of doubt and pam they are in the floor.

They are also idiots who can't understand why they crashes, even if they themself say it. Like at some point Martín said I was a bit more open and I crashed, but I don't understand why or Bagnaia who said he hit the breaks 18 metres early, but he doesn't understand why he crashed.

So yes this is a championship that they might lose against Marc or Enea because they are idiots. I'm personally rotting for Martín (and yes I know he's a red flag, but so does Bagnaia) because I want the number 1 in Aprilia to show a big middle finger, but at this rate my money is on Marc

It's a shame Grace Chasity is an evangelical Christian because the way she interacts with her faith truly does read as a Catholic teenager when they're taking their confirmation classes and feel the need to overcompensate or play up their faith to receive validation or be viewed as a good person because at that moment in time everyone in their life feels like they're constantly scrutinizing their every move or trying to drag them towards temptation, even when normally their own beliefs or actions do not naturally manifest in that way.

any trans person should get HRT for free (no insurance required) and in exchange they should participate in the occasional study/survey.

research into sex hormones and their effects is so scarce and you have a whole ass population group who's willing to not only switch up their hormones but keep it up for very long periods of time. you could run some incredible long term studies with participants across all sorts of demographics.

while it's impossible to conduct any blind studies on this due to observable change in appearance, there's still so so so much data we're giving up on because we'd rather...

lemme check my notes. that cant be right.

...because we'd rather deny trans people health care and let them die. huh.

This damn comic is fucking A N C I E N T but as far as like, the content of it- not necessarily the art because I always hate my older art, but the presentation, what is objectively here- still feels right to me, so I'm sharing it. again

The thing about jakks is when that even if they ship more than just sonic, do you really think Terrence Jacob Samson, who is going through his 3rd divorce and hasn't played a game since ring around the rosie would see a box of sonic toys and think to grab more than just sonic while restocking the shelves. And no one buys the leftover sonics on the shelves cause i dont need Sonic, but this time, he's doing his taxes or sonic but he's holding a chili dog

what in the world are you talking about

The Sun and Stars(💕)

So, an idea I've been tossing around for the last little while in S&TF has been Nezuko creating her own Breath Style. Specifically mixing Sun and Sound Breathing as the main bases. And, as you can probably guess, this Breath Style is going to be called Star Breathing.

And earlier this week, I just realized the genius poetry behind the three Breath Styles named after celestial bodies(Sun, Moon, and Stars)!

The Sun is the brightest and closest light we have in our universe. Sun Breathing is the most powerful Breath Style.

The moon's light comes from reflecting the sun. Bright, but not nearly as much as the sun. Michikatsu was powerful, but still could never match Yoriichi despite being his twin(reflection). And I believe Moon Breathing is the second most powerful Breath Style, even before the Blood Demon Art modifications.

And the stars are just as powerful as the sun, they're just farther away and we can't see them when the sun is out. But when they do get to shine, they're just as brilliant. Nezuko, being trained by an ex-shinobi and three ex-kunoichi, has been taught skills to disappear and strike from a distance. And despite having a similar potential to Tanjirou, Nezuko is going to be mostly disregarded by Muzan whenever Tanjirou is close by. But Sun Breathing is in her blood, the same as her brother and father.

TL; DR, Moon reflects Sun but not as powerful, but Stars shine with their own power despite being outshined by the sun.

And I think this will especially create a fun parallel between the Nighttime Breath Users(Kokushibo and Nezuko). But I'll leave that for another time!

[muninnhuginn]

just generally musing to myself what makes thematic and plot sense for the link clink ending after reading some other people's takes the past few days. no real conclusions here, just some thoughts tied together with a string.

I've seen arguments that what needs to happen is that Lu Guang needs to accept Cheng Xiaoshi's fate and move on without regrets. This idea that the past has to remain as-is and you have to move on is a thread that the show has played with quite a few times. It's written into the very rules underlying the dives. The most obvious instance being the earthquake arc, where Cheng Xiaoshi was unable to save Chen Xiao's mum, but he *was* able to deliver the messages and thereby help CX gain closure. It's laid out by Lu Guang that it *was* worth it to deliver the words, and Cheng Xiaoshi takes this conclusion with him when he confronts Emma. (Of course, the fact this lesson was given by *Lu Guang* casts a different shade over the whole affair. I don't think it can be entirely discarded, given LG even admits he's going against his own rules, but it reads more like something he's trying and failing to convince himself of.)

So, the past has to stay as it is. We see a few different approaches to this idea in s2 - of people refusing to move on and trying to change the past. Qian Jin wants to force his wife "not to cheat"; he wants to alter her behaviour because she didn't act as he wanted. Li Tianchen wanted to change how *he* acted back then, even if indirectly, because he sees himself as his mother's killer, and thinks this is the point at which his tragedy was locked into place. They both thought their 'tragedies' were down to a single event. It's not that simple.

Lu Guang wants to personally protect Cheng Xiaoshi by controlling all scenarios. Not exactly taking his will, but limiting his choices. There's probably a whole post to be made on how QJ/LTC/LG each approach the agency of the ones they want to protect, but that's not for now.

Anyway, Li Tianchen as the foil to Lu Guang. At the end of s2, he has in theory let go of Li Tianxi but in practice he's just burying himself deeper by following Liu Xiao. Trying to entirely shun the past so he can believe that he still has some element of control. Both LTC and LG are at the extreme ends of clinging on vs letting go and that means the correct answer has to lie somewhere in the middle. Not shunning the past, but accepting it, and using that resolve to move forward.

So, Liu Xiao. We don't have much on him but what we do have is his belief that uncertainties should become certainties. He's deterministic and set explicitly as the counter to Lu Guang, whose own aim is to change events rather than lock them into place. They both want to *control* all aspects, but for differing reasons. In fate vs free will, it makes sense that our protagonist is on the side of free will, but it's interesting that he's presented himself so much as the opposite previously. He and CXS haven't exactly switched places, but to the audience, they've definitely taken on traits of the other.

Liu Xiao's whole spiel about how all options will eventually lead to the same outcomes, with him set *against* Lu Guang, very much seems like it's a setup for a "defeat fate" type plotline though. It's hammered in that there is no escape, no other option. Are we expected to accept this? It doesn't seem so. It's something I'm struggling to reconcile somewhat with the earlier messages about accepting the past, but maybe that's not quite it. Maybe it's about control vs freedom?

Trust fall. Every dive with LG and CXS is an act of mutual trust where they need to act in tandem. Dives go astray when one party acts without the other. For CXS, this is about him acting against LG's instructions (texting Emma's parents, staying in the earthquake dive). For LG, this is about him withholding info because he doesn't trust how CXS will react.

Lu Guang needs to put his trust in CXS before his withholding of information creates an unresolvable rift. He needs to stop trying to control CXS in order to keep him safe. We saw how that spun out for Li Tianchen and Li Tianxi. LG needs to put the choice into Cheng Xiaoshi's hands and let him decide his own fate. It reminds me of how Cheng Xiaoshi laid everything out for Emma and let her decide whether to live. It was only outside interference that prevented her, but she did make the choice to survive. And she did it by remembering those small moments. By accepting that tragedy happens but there are still people that make it worth it.

For LG and CXS, they need to mutually trust each other and that's how they'll find their way through.

idk who needs to hear this (i actually know exactly who needs to hear this) but shaping your entire view on and treatment of a marginalised group based on some negative interactions you had with one person - or even a few people - that belong(s) to that group is discrimination.

it's not your fault that you have trauma but it is your responsibility to make sure it doesn't bleed into your treatment of marginalised groups.

[mad-hunts]

i needdd a roleplay where barton ends up going with another muse to a club despite the fact that he very much isn't a party person and gets drunk, much to the other muses surprise, because barton is a 'happy drunk' and as a result... they literally spend hours there — but then stumble out near closing with some glowstick bracelets and necklaces that they got sometime during the night.

as they're doing it, though, they have their arm's interlinked around each other as they laugh over literally nothing together. and although they might seem a bit weird to onlookers, it doesn't matter to them because they're having fun okok (and they plan on taking an taxi home OFC). because i just think that would be SO fun to roleplay NGL

[toxicroyjamie]

The fact that they portray James as like cartoonishly violent and terrible for the entire series makes it even wilder that they show him in rehab and go “he’s fixed now!” Like obviously substance abuse and violent behavior/child abuse can be correlated, but alcohol alone is not the root cause of attempting to beat someone to death with a metal pipe (or emotionally, physically, and sexually abusing your son for a decade?). I feel crazy when I watch the finale nightmare sequence lmao what were they thinking

EXACTLY. TV treating rehab like a magic cure-all bothers me sm. It's not realistic and it contributes to stigma.

There are many alcoholics who aren't violent in any way and there are many abusive people who have never had a drop to drink in their life - alcohol addiction is not always synonymous with violence, and sobriety is not always synonymous with good parenting, and even though rehab can be a first step for abusive individuals with substance use disorder, it will not fix everything and such an extreme degree of violence does indicate that there are other issues present
