Before she leaves, I ask the Batgirl how she does it—keeps herself from falling to the influence of the reality engine. It is my way of remembering him...a single-minded pursuit of vengeance, she answers. Did you get it from him?, I ask. I had it before him, she says. -Detective Comics #1082
I need Ram V on a Cass solo after he finishes his Tec run because he really does just get it
#Cass had her morals and her mission and her priorities long before she ever met Bruce#Bruce just gave her a productive way to channel them#anyway ram v and alyssa wong are the only people employed by DC who should be writing Cass right now#cassandra cain#dc comics#detective comics#ram v#renee montoya#tuesday spoilers

"Persephone is scary" Dionysus made mothers kill their own sons. Aphrodite cursed children to lust after their parents.
#This is no dig at my main girl it's about the People on the Internet#Persephone doesn't really do anything horrifying in mythology. Mortal characters fear her and show her reverence bc#she's the queen of the dead#'Ooough what if Persephone sends up the head of the Gorgon to scare meeee'#Do u know who consistently employs monsters in myth#That's right it's my other queen Hera#Persephone's rarely present in myth anyway. But when she does appear it's as a helpful; merciful figure#Like in one version she even allows Pirithous to go#That's my rant for the night goodbye

also just thinking about the importance for these characters of this make-shift family in Peaceful Property now that every member of the ghost busting gang (sans Suradech—where is he???) has lost their parents 🥺🥺🥺
#Two of my friends and I lost dads within a year and they felt like the only people who could understand me for a long while and vice versa#And my sister had a roommate who had just lost her mom and really connected because of it#Grief is just a wild beast and no one should have to handle it alone#peaceful property#Also have been thinking about suradech and the fact that he’s employed to be a part of this group and if they’ll address that???

so, do we think that kaiser has an accurate picture of the mother who he's never met and who he (presumably) primarily gets information about from his abusive father who has nursed a grudge against her for years, or do we think there's more to this story?
#bolo liveblogs#blue lock#bllk#the ''we'' here is rhetorical. I am saying that I think there's more to this story.#speaking generally when it comes to abusive parents the abuse is not limited to their children. it's part of a broader pattern of behavior#that comes out with anyone they can get away with terrorizing. this often includes romantic partners/spouses.#and the specific detail that she was an actress under his employ would be suspicious even without confirmation of how horribly he treats#people he has power over (such as a child).#I don't know. I think she saw his violent side and chose to leave.#and even if she did leave for ''selfish'' reasons and not just to protect herself I wouldn't hold it against her.#that being said I wouldn't be surprised if kaiser (who didn't have the agency to leave the man she saw was violent)#absolutely did hold it against her. and coming from him it would be fair!

Sometimes I want to yell at you to update your fics but I remember you’re a whole ass lawyer and have a life.
also writers block dont forget the writers block
#not to mention juggling all my interests#i actually write a lot of fics in my free time! but atm my total drama fics have all hit a wall#ill cycle back once ive had some time to shake off the cobwebs as it were#for now ill keep re-reading and being like 'who wrote this how do i coax her out again'#also anon i know this wasnt your intent so this is more of a general announcement#but no one is obligated to update their fics regardless of whether theyre employed or married or have kids or whatever#not that im abandoning my wips (i would NEVER. well. maybe#not atm) but if i wanted to? even if for no reason? thats something i could do#one thing about me: if im not enjoying doing something in my free time? im not doin it#as much as i love sharing my work with yall and hearing your always kind and wonderful feedback (i love yall thanks for reading)#that doesnt mean i owe you more of it#i feel very lucky to be able to share my writing and have people love it but at the end of the day its a hobby#a hobby i love and enjoy the shit out of but a hobby all the same#im entitled to pick it up and put it down as much as i like#and even. as crazy as it sounds. walk away.

a trope that i really enjoy in stories is when an incredibly repressed or tightly controlled character’s mask slips for just for a minute because they’re so overwhelmed by something and you realize that they actually feel things very deeply but can’t/won’t show it most of the time
#like kwannon in hellions punching the wall and screaming do i look like i blame other people when her ai daughter was destroyed#or missouri kite in the kingdoms sitting with his back to joe and joe realizes he's crying but he never turns around#or aemond at storm's end being this sinister calm and collected villain until he screams give me your eye#i just! i reallyyyyy like it when characters are tightly controlled but let go of it for a second#pie says stuff#tropes#writing#oooh also percy de rolo being like a stuffy inventory guy for 2 episodes and then going nuts on the briarwoods in the 3rd ep of vox machina#it's a good trope. makes me insane when employed well

crazyyy how this one person i follow is always, literally always, asking for money from her tumblr followers. to the point that's the ONLY THING SHE POSTS.
#i just follow her at this point to laugh. i debated unfollowing when she first started doing this but#it's so predictable#and it's so unbelievable.#im not laughing at poverty but it's been more than a year of near daily posts like this#it's just scamming#to the point now that shes even like 'i know i make these posts allll the time but can anyone front me $400 for these recurring payments#i should absolutely be able to pay for myself/'#like girl how tf do you even have an apartment when clearly you arent employed at all?#how do you pay for any of these 'lockers and cars and rides' and other shit OUTSIDE of your tumblr mooching?#crazy to me that people feel comfortable asking for that much money but especially that often#update your resume ffs and get a job it's been literally two years

Parents will treat you like expensive vermin that theyre keeping around due to being mercyful but the moment you wanna kill yourself it's suddenly bad
#NOBODY!!!

I rewatched princess mononoke recently, and the older I get the cooler I think lady eboshi is.
#princess mononoke#lady eboshi#mononoke hime#studio ghibli#I changed the fans on her kimono to uchiwa#it’s been so long since I’ve drawn in regular graphite! it smudges so much lol#anyway. lady who employs other women and disabled people so they can have autonomy?#I know she’s a bit of a villian but I want to root for her so bad#also I love her masculine kitsuke and hairstyle…. fascinating design#mine#sketch#gun tw

Tumblr! Let me edit my own fucking reblog! I need to add more tags on that post!!!
#if youre wondering i hate slow burn with miscommunication most#wtf is hanahaki???#also why can i freely edit every post but that one#slow burn is... fine? i dont care for any ships that employ slow burn apart from bubbline and id NEVER read bubbline fic#miscommunication is never ever written well in fanfic#'but my story--' no fuck you your miscommunication plot is bad#it works well in stories where there are fundamental incompatibilities with what characters NEED#it works well in shera proper because catra needs the exact opposite of what adora needs#catra wants devotion but also agency and adora cannot be devoted because she has to protect EVERYONE#and that means stripping catra of her agency too#and catra sees that as adora thinking shes bettervthan her#it doesnt matter how much they talk about it - their core feelings about the world and lack of psychological skills further push the clash#same for glimmer who wants agency and friendship when adora and bow are pushing her in a protective little shell#she sees it as being stripped of her agency!!!#she sees it as proof people think shes useless... her greatest fear#but adora sees it as protecting her#and the more glimmer lashes out the more adora just becomes Shera because adorq herself feels no use to anyone

Thinking more on Nela's feelings about nobility...
In the end, I think Nela dodges anything related to nobility whenever she can afford it. At first out of sheer inexperience and generic Andoren disdain for it (which I already talked about before), later on because she learns the hard way that dealing with nobility unfailingly turns into a lasting headache.
She behaves in the proper wag whenever she has to interact with any noble, BUT she makes a point of delegating such duties to people who actually enjoy talking in circles and reading between lines.
Now, whenever she IS forced to attend a social event and such, she'll be the last to complain if Daeran casually starts some trouble...
#a shadow's rambles#look she knows her position is delicate and pushing everyone's buttons is asking for trouble she really wants to avoid#fortunately Daeran has no such trouble#she isn't above actively encouraging others to do what she cannot due to her position as Commander#in fact that's a tactic I see her employing often#much like Nela encouraging Ember on her attempts at redeeming people because as Commander that's not something she can afford to do often

Wait why aren't you often introduced as just Silas ??
because i don't pass as male so it's usually "this is silas he's trans pronouns are he/him" & then it's a toss-up on if that will actually be respected. still sometimes go the route of my birthname in front of people's relatives to avoid the embarrassment of it all, which is further embarrassing because i don't respond much to my birthname LOL
#everyone in my life is so accustom to me being refer to with he/him pronouns that when someone uses she/her#we all get visibly confused. it's a bad front all around but it's still employed when necessary#or i just don't get taken home. people avoid introducing me to parents/grandparents in general#anonymous

ive been watching sooo many vids of people doing doll restorations and doll customizations... making me both fight off the desperate urge to attempt New Hobby just because it Looks Fun and also resisting the urge to repurchase the fave barbie i had as a kid on ebay,,,,
#i dont have a job rn i dont need to be spending money on this kind of nostalgia for the latter lol#my fave was a SPECIFIC doll#well actually i had 2 faves but i think the other was like a generic one#but i specifically remember i had the 2001 nutcracker barbie + ken#who i guess were named clara and eric lol#idr if i had the kellys.... i did have a few kellys i just dunno if they were part of that set#i think i literally only had one ken doll. MAYBE two ? and one was the nutcracker guy#but his nutcracker head creeped me out so i never used it#i also think i fucked up his slicked back hair bc. well i was a child LOL#but i remember specifically those two bc of the creepy nutcracker head and bc clara had that special jointed body#since her whole thing was like the nutcracker ballet movie or w/e#and i loved the way her joints moved and clicked and her swooshy curly hair#but also when i was a kid i liked smearing makeup on my dolls LOL#so like. watching restoration and custom vids and seeing how people Actually pull that off in a more professional way#it awakens that inner childhood interest lol#and like i HAVE a lot of the supplies already for that. i have paints and pastels and a billion craft supplies ive accumulated over years#which makes it all the more tempting to buy a used doll off like ebay or a thrift store or something for funsies#that would be more affordable than trying to win a bid war for clara 😑 LOL#but i mean. if i do end up employed with a comfortable salary again someday#and if i have money to spare. perhaps i'd consider trying to get clara lol i know shes out there#but also im not willing to spend THAT much so i probs still wouldnt#tho maybe i can find one thats kinda fucked up and try to clean her idk . IDK IM JUST DAYDREAMING FOR NOW#ugh who wants to reminisce with me tho LOL#i can vaguely see the plastic bin of barbies i had as a kid in my mind...#there was this other barbie i had that i liked... idr anything special about her tho i just liked her hair#it was like a specific type of blonde that was like a warm blond and was soft i think. maybe a lil dirty blonde color idk#maybe i liked her face too idk i just know there was one that stood out to me#despite like nothing of significance about her LOL#she was another white blonde bitch in my collection

I live in an area with an extensive history of growing tobacco and pretty much every farm around here has a tobacco barn or two, including the family farm, but it's a labor intensive crop to grow and it's usually grown in 1-3 acre lots because everything has to be done by hand. Tobacco, due to its labor intensive and expensive nature, is more or less a contract crop. Like. Every year the regional tobacco buyers let growers know how much they want and then divide the acreage out among the interested farmers so that no one is wasting time growing surplus tobacco and no one is losing money. I've seen less and less tobacco cultivation for the last decade but in the past couple of years that's started to reverse a bit and I've started to see a small increase. then This year it's like everywhere I look someone has put in another acre or two of tobacco. I swear I'm seeing more tobacco than soybeans this year. So I asked a friend who's father does tobacco what's up and she said that the local purchaser asked the southern part of the county to put in 300 more acres of tobacco this year. 300. For a crop that gets grown 2 acres at a time. Pour one out for declining American nicotine usage. It was nice while it lasted.
#the really messed up thing about this#is that tobacco harvesting and drying is a lot of work but it's extremely seasonal and it pays well and ag labor is deeply under the table#So say hello to your average tobacco harvester: 7 year old Amish girl wearing no gloves#and blasted out of her skull on 8 hours of skin to nicotine contact#start them young and you've got a customer for life#I really don't think people understand the depth to which child labor is employed in the tobacco industry
