Women's History Month -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Back at the beginning of March, I vowed to write several posts throughout Women’s History month honouring some of the women who have contributed so much to this nation … to the world. But, due to the onslaught of political crises as well as my own health issues, I have really let the ball drop on this one. Y’know … Black History Month, Women’s History Month and Pride Month have all been removed…

the trauma these two share of hitting absolute rock bottom, being stripped of their powers, having their minds almost completely broken by two individuals who made them question their entire lives, identities, beliefs and even their very existence and worth using extensive mental and emotional manipulation + putting the lives of their dearest friends in vital danger..
only to pick themselves back up using nothing but sheer fucking willpower, overcome the impossible odds of their situation, and not only defeat their enemies but simultaneously prove to them why they deserve to be the owner of their ‘stolen power’ because they are the very embodiment of what their soul jams’ represent-
is something that can be so personal, actually
#shared trauma makes the heart grow fonder. or whatever the saying is#cookie run kingdom#pure vanilla cookie#dark cacao cookie#purecacao#crk spoilers#i’m in no way discrediting what golden cheese went through by the way#she also managed to overcome impossible odds and prove she was rhe rightful owner of her soul jam#but burning spice very much did use violence as well as mind games#he beat the absolute SHIT out of her and had a great time doing it#mystic flour and shadow milk on the other hand#pure mind games. nothing but good old gaslighting#(with some threats to their loved ones along the way)

the human-xenos relations in rogue trader are truly so bad for me
#RT stream of consciousness lazy murmuring to marazhai while groping him hey it's probably good you threw your lot in with me no matter how#i treat you because with one home planet to the humans' millions there's no technology that will overcome your odds in the end. better you#submit to the imperium here and now than in two decades to someone not nearly as lenient#shacking up with marazhai is so clearly trophy-taking. supposed to kill them all but you kept one for fun you know what this looks like#cal txt#fandom#rogue trader

bsky is fun ig but it truly is like walking into an irl party where you dont Really know anyone and everyone already has their own little circles, like maybe this is just the "little kid who never Quite fit in at school" in me but even though my mutuals on there are really nice i cant spend more than 10 mins on that app without feeling bad
#obviously like. nobody is MAKING me have the app or be on there but ykwim#i just personally always feel on the back foot going into places with established dynamics like#ik its awkward for everyone at first but it really takes a lot for me to overcome it and i rarely do#i get the same thing in workplaces too its so evil#also the timezone thing doesnt help#but whatever like. idk. its nice and i like that i can see and share a lot of really cool art there#everyones so sweet there but i really just cant beat the Odd Kid Out allegations 😭#whatever. ill always have tumblr amen

the reverse-nurturing urge to put angst ridden, narratively downtrodden characters through even more angst and even more emotionally challenging scenarios so they could hit absolute rock bottom and climb their way uphill without fear of failure and understand just how awesome they are and show everyone else the very same like no babe, i do NOT wanna give them cookies and blankets; how about a walk through metaphorical lava instead????
#pjo#pjo fandom#percy jackson#naruto fandom#naruto uzumaki#miraculous ladybug#chat noir#adrien agreste#all my mentally strong little guys just GOING THRU IT#writing them overcoming insurmountable odds through sheer spite and competency is so appealing idk#subaru#re zero#mha izuku#midoriya izuku#izuku midoriya#my hero academia

Hell's Orbit 🔞 — 5k, terzo/mist, jerk-off instruction, mutual masturbation, too much ghoul lore, second in a series but you don't have to read the first — more tags on ao3
“It has been a Jurassic Park kind of scenario up until now. We want more, we head to the basement and dust off the ceremonial knife. You, dear, have only just got here. I do not think that little Ghouls is what we need right now. Can’t be having babies around this place,” he clarified. “Yet.” The first Ghoulette heralds a new age for interspecies relations in the Clergy, but arrives with a fresh set of challenges. Terzo steps up to the job.
for ghostober by @kroas-adtam — day 2: jerking off instruction; day 9: voice kink
#i messed up so i'm posting again rip#the first in the series is irrelevant and occurs chronologically after this one so that's not necessary to read first#also i haven't looked at it since july so maybe best not to read it 😭😭 ffs how do i overcome the embarrassment of this#'this' being posting fic#i feel like my stuff is so odd in comparison to everything else#why cant i just write some normal sex why does it have to be weird and metaphorical#fun fact: wrote one scene of this after visiting a cathedral and getting inspired. not what the cathedral builders intended#need to stop rambling and just post#ough ow ouch <- taking damage from the mortifying ordeal of sharing fic#the band ghost#papa emeritus iii#mist ghoulette#user copia fic#user copia all tag

I’ve always found it super interesting that when Callum is encased in stone in the opening he doesn’t shed a tear, unlike Viren in the opening or Avizandum in the show.
Avizandum and Viren both have significant regrets. Avizandum fears for his mate and his egg as well as the fate of Xadia. While we know he reveled in squashing the ants (humans) I can’t help but think he genuinely was concerned for Xadia and the impact humans invading could have on the land. Ultimately of course, he reaches for Zym, the newly laid egg, and Zubeia…his family, before he is turned to stone.
Viren on the other hand is without a kingdom (a king) and frankly without a true lease on life. He has 30 days to live and must free Aaravos, the reviled Startouch elf, to extend his life.
So why does Viren cry a single tear before he is encased in stone, while Callum does not?
Because one will have great regret when they fully realize they have fallen into Aaravos’s hands, and one will not.
We see clearly from s5 that Viren is repentant and regretful about his actions and the path he has set Claudia on. My guess from the teaser is that he will try to appeal to Ezran to save his daughter from Aaravos, but unbeknownst to him, Callum and Rayla have set off with Aaravos’s prison. By this point it is out of Ezran’s hands on what to do.
Meanwhile we have Callum who is bursting with self-doubt, and untold resentment and love for Rayla. But as we see in the teaser (*cough* screencap where Callum touches Rayla’s chin *cough*) there clearly will be a reckoning between Callum and Rayla regarding their relationship. This leads me to believe that not only will Callum reconcile with Rayla but that he’ll also reconcile the situation with Rayla’s parenteral figures by freeing them from the coins. (Personally I’m a huge fam of Callum using dark magic to do so but its still very possible he’ll utilize the quasar diamonds/corona to do so.) All this to say, once Callum succumbs to Aaravos’s control, he will have no regrets. For whatever reason, he will think those close to him, whether Ezran, Rayla or Amaya, are in good hands and that regardless of his absence will be fine without him.
#tdp#tdp callum#aaravos#the dragon prince#tdp rayla#tee hee what if callum did the unthinkable because he thought he was doomed#and used an incredibly powerful dark spell to free Rayla’s family#because he was doomed either way?#so why not do this last good act#before he proceeds to do unthinkable acts of evil#will Ezran have a moment where he overcomes great odds through sheer diplomacy?#surely he doesn’t need Callum anymore then right?#its clown hour again 🤡

my most crazed borderline-stupid house theory is that. house didn’t survive the fire in the finale. james wilson simply lost his homosexual mind when the love of his life and soulmate died. when house left him alone in those final days of his life when he needed him more than ever. everybody was confused by wilson talking about a phone ringing during the funeral because there WASN’T a phone ringing. wilson just fully went off the deep end and lived out his final days in delusional gay bliss with hallucination-house
#idk its just!!! weird to me that the final episode is so consistently abt hallucinations!!!#and then house overcomes LUDICROUS odds to make it out of the building too???#i just. its a bit. fantastical. a bit too far beyond the realm of plausibility even for house md#sound off on why im wrong btw please i want to believe in the power of#motorcycles into the distance#but i just cant im too cynical#house md#hate crimes md#hilson#james wilson#greg house#house md finale#house md spoilers

i wanted to weigh bad faith readings vs how clumsy the writing in Weapons Factory actually was to make people dislike luminara so much and. wow. she literally falls to her knees and despairs when she thinks barriss is dead.
#luminara unduli#luminara my beloved none of these bitches understand you 💚💚💚#tcw#the clone wars#barriss offee#people really condemn her for being heartless and joke about how expendable barriss is to her#as though she wasnt entirely FLOORED by the idea of having lost her#all she knew was that barriss and ahsoka were ground zero of the explosion that took out the entire factory#like how on earth do you twist that against her?#dgmw the writing is pretty weird but the odds of them surviving were NOT great like come on#mine#they tried for anakin & ahsoka vs luminara & barriss for a hope vs pessimism comparison but then only show the drawback to facing reality#it wouldve been better if anakin had insisted they waste time searching the tunnels bc he KNOWS they got out in time#vs luminara overcoming her grief to push to search the center of the blast as thats objectively where theyre most likely to find them#and its actually a miracle on the master's pov when theyre found alive despite lumi's doubts but not where anakin wouldve had them looking#the padawan team ahsoka's trust wins out but barriss's perspective braces them for the worst#meanwhile luminara tackles not giving up and anakin DOESNT face the facts and luminara gives the wise words of needing to be able to let go

FIGHTING SO HARD TO BE ACCEPTED IN THIS WORLD. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVERYONE IS FIGHTING TO PROTECT ***HIM***#MY FRIEND MASH FROM MASHLE MAGIC AND MUSCLES NOW SINGIN BLING BANG BANG BLING BANG BANG BLING BANG BANG BORN

This whole last scene specifically is just
Oh my god
It's hitting so many whumperfly buttons
Oh my god

Oh my god
AND A HAPPY ENDING TOO?!
Oh my god
YOU ARE THE BEST
Aaawe, shucks

Thank you so much
#anon love#askbox#oooh you guys knew I couldn't end it sad#If there's one thing I adore more than whump and angst#it's the ''overcoming impossible odds with the power of brotherly love'' trope

#txt#Ahhhggh.#i was anxious for this episode becausei thought i would be hit with the best writing imaginable but eh#i still got some of that. It was still cool. but#Ahhh.#i just hope they dwell on the fucked up-ness of it all instead of trying to play it off as something it isnt#by which i mean a relation that wont bring either of them harm and that isnt kind of disgusting#everything about avemuji has been about how odd this combination of girls is for something as beautiful as a band#of how these girls won't ever have a connection like that between themselves unless something changes within them#with each others help#when most bands have been about overcoming obstacles with the power of their connection#this one is about finding that connection in the first place#so im Hoping. All of this. Plays some role in the story later on. And isnt there to just add weird factor.#Weird factor is valid but not when you have set these two up for something more than platonic throughout this series
