Just want to say you’re amazing and how do you write such amazing fics? Who were some of your favourite writers growing up and fic wise?

🥹🥹🥹

i think i spent a lot of time trying to develop a style that could embody the way i wanted to use language that was expressive in and of itself and not just a conduit for the individual words (and it's still a fucking sandbox mess)—

writers—hemingway (i know); toni morrison, richard siken, allen ginsberg and the beat poets; dostoevsky and joyce. i'll never forget what it was like to be that teenager reading the book thief by markus zusak; tamar by mal peet; my name is asher lev, by chaim potok, which touched my very soul. zora neale hurston, who taught me to re-imagine what things felt like; and indeed, nancy werlin, whose YA fiction found me by luck at age eleven and has stuck with me tattoo-like since.

i have a limited experience with fics—but i'm big enough to admit watching merlin on bbc as a kid and well (some of) you know what pipeline that leads down and for the brief few months i spent in that era this fic by @valkyrieskwad was truly, so truly, my shayla (and you do not need a shred of the source material to enjoy it)

biden trump pretrump posttrump democracts republicans elite university cancel culture twitter yimby nimby affirmative action rent control. we didnt start the fire leftist rightists liberals grey tribe what about this? what about... oh right. ais and other tech things will come along and make everything not matter. we should do vague technocratic liberalism for two decades and then ai will turn us all into immortal simulated minds or maybe replace all labor. it's probably not important to update social structures in light of that sea change we should keep doing like technocratic market liberalism even though the very concept of like man's place in the world is about to be. yeah that makes sense did you know that affirmative action is going to undo the industrial revolution? because diversity hires won't know how to operate the machines yeah. yeah the fall of the west is coming and china is going to put all american males in those sperm machines from the porn video but we should pretty much do centrist technocratic liberalism until then. and make a really big army to kill china when they show up wait I just thought of something. I forgot what it was but the world isn't very stable it's about to change drastically according to my thing that I believe in. yeah that usually doesn't happen I know but this time my thing that I am all worried about is gonna come and get us soon but instead of preparing for that I think we should sort of do centrist technocratic liberalism kind of as if the world was gonna keep chugging along for another few centuries kind of as if everything is business as normal wait not to make the point too on the nose but I think that's cognitive dissonance. I think if you really thought trump was hitler 3 you probably would act different than you're acting I think probably if you thought uh, whatever, I think. Well I don't know what's in your head but I don't think you.

Right so look at all of it right. Not just in a caricatured way but really look at all of it. It's just been going along, right? I mean it's just been chugging along. I'm glad I don't live in 1500s france but I probably would have been fine. I mean maybe I would have got depressed because I believe in too strict a religion but I'm depressed right now. Maybe I would have died sooner but I'm gonna die anyway, I've only got 80 years anyway. What if I lived in the soviet union? I like freedom of speech but on the other hand who cares. I would have got a job and been fine. Sucks that I can't voice my opinions and shit but on the other hand whatever.

You'll be fucking fine everybody's been fine forever. You'll be fucking fine. You uh, you treat everything as business as usual because at some level. Shit is just how it is you know. I mean there's the monty python caricature of the middle ages where they all ate dirty and shit but in the real middle ages they woke up did some hard work on the farm had sex with each other died of dysentery you're gonna die of some nasty shit that will be viewed as barbaric in the future too. "Yeah but that's a bad thing!!!" too bad it's your fate. The lot of every human ever you everybody before and everybody after is to figure out how to live in a world that kind of is not going to be nice to you. And your big world ending thing is not gonna happen it's just gonna be, wake up pay taxes get sick maybe find love like it's been for everyone forever that's all there is to it. Political regimes and technological systems come and go but eating and fucking and dying and hopefully making friends is forever. There's no point in thinking about the grand story of humanity unless you're an academic it doesn't mean anything or do anything. This post is very not fully endorsed but on the other hand I think this is the corrective most people here need. Don't worry about this shit just try to make some friends and not die too bad, that's all any of us will ever have.

suicide is discouraged in the workplace

im not even gonna try to be coherent here. this is not an analysis post i am braindead. if i was a better artist makima wouldve been my muse when i was deep into chainsawman. actuallt she kind of was but i pussyed out

OK everyone here can subconsciously understand this connection. dont get too hung up on makima's strong motherhood theme and i just thought about what if ame was motherly and i couldn't kill myself right aftee thinking that as i have no means to it. that was a joke its late and im just me. i decided i wasnt a fan of motherly ame though so all suicidal thoughts erased. i am really chill now

old makima fanart i drew that im trying not to rip my hairs out over thinking about it with ame. also dont worry if this makes tou find my mainblog or main accounts whatever

actually theyre really different in many ways now that im looking at these. ame is so much of a son and makima is so much of a mother its like oppsoite spectrums. but thay makes the commonalities fun actuallt. i keep thinking about the movies and makima hating bad movies. ame is not an art kid by any means does he even care of the beauty of the world? i doubt it. but he likes bad movies and he likes cheap entertainment so who knows... they'd disagree on that. well i think makima's opinion on that was pretty extreme so i think most would disagree with her really

i could imagine ame going "Chainsawman. Doesn't spit." and smoking for the first time to look cool like in movies only to pathetically cough. thats their common trait... artifice... humans... but in a way that loops back to being Really Human i guess. holds a kind of arrogance and hubris that is so associated with humanity. it cant be anything else. ame should kill himself i think he should get moments of clarity and awareness and want to kill himself rqlly bad

both concepts of control. awesome. SUICIDE IS NOT ENDORSED IN THE WRKPLACE. ame goes to protestant church once or twice and sleeps because hes useless. makima is baptised and goes to local catholic churches not the cathedrals she supports the local christians.FUCK i just remembered the country mouse city mouse thing. ame is a liar and hates everything and loves everything and never feels content. i like to imagine him as a country mouse so fucking bad i want him to chill out one day and go to those middle of nowheres i know exist in america(can i shove cana in here and get away with it). why are they in the city if they are country mice? because..... you know..... you understand..... another w for eternal unhappiness (refer to title of this post)(suicide is discouraged in the workplace)

they are evil bosses i am the employee and when i ask for a break they gaze at me with a vacant stare and smile and i know in my heart they are viewing me like i am beneath them. i get scared and run away but truth is they didnt hear my request. they do not register individual people

if they met they would know immediately and viceversa. because everyone knows subconsciously because lying is futile and everything melts away. ame:i know a toxic boymom when i see one... okay im kidding makima is a toxic boymom if u push the chainsawman in ur head 🙂 ame as a kind of control devil works inmy head. i really believe ame was a polite child but demanding in many ways. sincerely wanting.

ame:gun devil i'll give you one year of the lifespans of the american people. in exchange i want you to kill makima—that is... the control devil (i never got around to drawing this)(ame and gun devil can you imagine)

or:gun devil i'll give you one year of the lifespans of the american people. in exchange i want you to kill alfred f jones—that is... the united states of america (paradox)

throughout all this i wanted to cite the best makima artist in the world ever but i'd feel bad if they wouldn't want to be associated with evil hetalia america blog. also i want to be normal and not cringe at being cringe just becayse i think makima was a thunderstrike of genius that i shouldn't taint. ame is a more flexible character to me for obvious reasons. this is how i'd shove ame into makima's role. but u couldn't put makima as ame. only one way. im okay with that. concept idea consensus words fear control blablabla u get the point i hate using words dont care sleepy now

[pinkmoondoll9shihtzu]

hi miss L, i have a spiritual/religious question and i don't know anyone else who could answer it.... since i was a kid i've been attracted to tarot, spirituality, mystical explanations of the worlds workings, astrology, all that good stuff. i never used to connect my spirituality to a single higher power, and i never had any issues with this. for a few years i've been wanting more than just a disturbingly accurate tarot spread and i feel compelled towards god. i'm not sure how to word it honestly! i keep getting messages all around me telling me the saint that watches over me, and that god is there too. so here's my issue.

whenever i reach out and pray or do any kind of ritual or reach out specifically to god or a saint, my life immediately starts going haywire. yesterday i set up a small shrine in my room for my dead kitty since i've been feeling better about her passing and i prayed a little. i asked for sign that i was going in the right direction, and hours after i prayed, our sink plumbing got clogged, my cat (living) ran out and had to be caught, my mom dropped a whole bowl of food, and i wasn't able to pick up groceries bc the bank cards wouldnt work. this never happens in my household, we've been joking that we're cursed. this happens everytime i try to reach out to god. the worst time was when my mom lost her job, dad crashed his car, and i kept having panic attacks out of the blue for a week. i freaked out and took everything i said back and bathed in salt water for hours hoping i could cleanse whatever happened to me. it worked and my life was back to normal the next day.

do you have any advice? i would love to put my trust in a higher power as i've never been religious before, but smthn is going wrong somehow.

thank you for reading, i love seeing you on the dash and your music is so soothing and nostalgic. much love!! <3 <3 <3 <3

so sweet, and caring, thankyou u//u...im sorry things have been difficult :< The following message does not in any way endorse the claim that i understand God, that God could ever be understood, or that any one of us should every try to understand the -inner workings- of God ! purely my feelings v v v

i relate to ur background cus i grew up w no religion, my parents didnt talk about any kind of woo-woo stuff, my dads dad was woo-woo AF and my dad haaaaated it so he rejected all of it so i was pree much just a blank slate. but for some reason i was just REALLY obsessed w magical thinking and the like. believed in god spirits nature deities angels demons magic aliens and i was totaly engrossed in ~my secret world~. i was kinda scared of religion tho i viewed it in a bad light since i was learning about it during the george bush post-9/11 era & for some reason my child self was rly interested in consuming critique of america , iraq war / westboro baptist church type stuff , from an outsider's perspective i saw religion as something american people used as justification for committing atrocities & crazy power trips , which, i mean.. anyways

it didnt help me trust God xD but many of my beliefs remained into my teens i just didnt have any outlet for them. so i got into astrology around 15/16, started learning more about tarot & occultish type things, crytstals, all those subjects intrigued me very much. but i felt the same way as you, like, something was still lacking from it, even when i got these super profound tarot readings, or read my birth chart a million times over looking for clues about ~wtf is this stupid life for~ , i never felt safe. never felt assured, never felt i could trust myself or my future. it was an odd period, early 20s. but then kinda same as u, as my knowledge on these topics expanded i started to notice the quality of Holiness a lot more. the more i learned about different religions the more i realized how connected it all was, and how religion connects to "the occult", and magic, light and dark, i find it very hard to put into words. i just started to find myself actually really earnestly believing in God in a way i never thought i could? Like reading the bible & being completely enthralled, i NEVER woulda thought. i started to feel way safer in the world even tho im still not "christian" technicaly. but i believe in jesus now and it makes me feel safe on a cellular level.

i believe the real jesus was wholly non judgemental and loved everyone no matter what, the thing that susses me out about Religious Institutions was always the judgement that can spawn from it. misses the point of everrything in my opinion.

its kinda wild actually cus when i used to be into like, trash reality tv ghost hunting shows, i remember there was one ep where this psychic was talking about how she always prays to jesus for protection before doing a reading or entering a haunted place. that really intrigued me cus i thought jesus and psychic automatically cancelled each other out. i think that moment rly opened up the rabbitehole and it was so mundane like wtf. still rememebr it tho!

sorry im really in a typing mood tonight.. So my next point was gonna be that, just because i started to really believe in god and jesus and really PRAY for protection & guidance, my life did not get easier xD like i would say the past 6 years have been nothing short of a shit show. my life was fucked before that too tho so its hard to compare, but still, its safe to say my shift in perspective actually brought a lot of chaos into mylife. the point of it, i feel, is that i had to dismantle it in order to truly Live in the frequency of trusting God. because this was new to me! i wanted to trust God, i put out the energy of seeking God, and God was like ok hold on tight..

So now i'm here all these years later like, oh yeah God is real and i love him and it's all real. it's CEMENTED into me lol. When i used to say i trust God it still felt like i was asking permission to be able to feel that way. but now i really really do. And messed up stuff will keep happening forever because there needs to be light & dark, there can't b one without the other. But now i have faith in a really personal way that i wld never attempt to transfer onto another like even by talking about these experiences & concepts i still feel like i don't want to prove anything. except that it's worth it to keep trying, i guess :]

and OK this is really just how i feel like take it with a grain of salt , but from what i've gathered, if you believe in energy entities & astral happenings & whatnot, well. it's my opinion that the invisible low frequency parasites that feed on many ppl's dread & fear, when they're attached to u and u begin to raise your vibration, they get very upset and throw a fit. like think of a demon being exorcised, u know, u imagine it having a total fit in a desperate fight for it's life. if ur appeasing the demon and letting it use you then of course it's going to keep things on an even keel, u kno?

taking a salt bath was a good thing to do tho like one of the best things <3 its also good to have crosses or your holy item of choice around the house, light white candles, organize clutter. pray a lot like every time u feel happy and safe or notice something beautiful say thanku to God.. talk to your angels and encourage them i pray a lot specifically to strengthen them, upgrade their armor n shih...i ask them to work for my loved ones, i try to be concentrated on them, visualize them around me all the time, visualize them standing guard outside every door. i feel this kinda stuff increases ur Holy EXP and over time your spiritual armor gets stronger, bad entities move on and things in life start really flow. the trust just has to b there first, and it will be, so long as u allow it <3

it just takes time, and like i said i dont want to prove anything or be The Convincer, but if u were already having feelings to go down this path i recommend not giving up and let God carry u through those tough situations instead of seeing them as an absence of God or God's Wrath. just keep praying cus it can't hurt right, even if it's just a way to occupy your mind with kind thoughts about your friends and family, there's no downside to prayer. its your own journey so u just gotta live it and feel it out ^^ but pls dont feel u are being punished by God or demons or anything else! So many "bad" things that happen end up being neutral or even "good" in the long run. We can never foresee the reasoning behind God's plan ~~~

yeah, this was a long one, wow...i drank a energy drink 12 hours ago i think it made me hyper.. well have a swell evening if ur reading this anon!! o also i liek to listen to psalms before bed to help me feel calm i feel like it helps bring in angels. i think i will do so now, thanks for the Q i hope things improve for u very soon. Good night anon < 3 3 3 PMD 9

Hi srry having big feelings bout Alma and need to rant

ALMA MADRIGAL ISNT A VILLAIN

Look is she the best mom? No. But is there a actual best mom that exists? No! Because moms are human, humans make mistakes even well meaning mistakes.

Was she severely traumatized by seeing her husband and God knows how many more people murdered mere hours after giving birth to triplets and also by other unseen horrors that weren't shared in the movie cause ya know Disney but most definitely happened cause they placed it during a actual real event in history? Yes.

She truly never meant to hurt her family, she's a woman who had to be strong for 3 newborns and later on kids and whatever problems occurred after the forming of encanto. I don't think she ever had a moment to properly grieve her loss only times when she couldn't ignore it and by the time her children and encanto had grown she probably didnt know HOW to grieve and process everything that happened after putting it on hold for so long.

I keep thinking of the lines "Bruno didn't care about this family" "Bruno loves this family"

I feel thats the same for alma she truly loves her family but her actions can be seen that she doesn't care for them. But She truly wants her family to be happy!

Sadly her trauma bleed down to her children who watched their mother put her feelings aside as best as she could and learned to do the same. Imagine your mom who most of the time is this unbending force towards everything and then you see her have bout of raw pain and true sorrow (because it's impossible not to have break downs after something so horrific) and how terrifying that would be to see, I think the triplet would end up hiding their feelings from her because their fear of these bouts and a fear of causing them. Also seeing the fear around them and the uncertainty of growing up is the beginning stages of encanto would leave a mark on them.

And of course the trauma bleeds to the grandkids. They see their mom/tia/tio and their anxieties and their most likely attitude to put off their own feelings and such. See their abuela and her tendencies to say everything is fine and ignores emotional problems and they learn from it cause it would be hard not to. They also would have picked up on the adults hiding things from alma so not to upset her and you cant say they don't isabela is legit gonna be engaged to a man she doesn't love because she doesn't wanna upset alma.

Also again it's a Disney movie so we aren't gonna get the icky gritty stuff but like she wasn't the the villain of the movie ya know. She was a woman whose story we didn't know/understand until the last 5mins. Yeah she's unlikable in the movie but we are only seeing a few very stressful days of this family.

I also wanna say this isnt me endorsing Alma's actions. She says fucked up stuff and does fucked up stuff. But this is me saying there's a explanation on why she did the things. I'm saying that to this day there is real life generational trauma that effects ppl. There's generational trauma that goes back so very far in time and can never be truly healed. But can be learned from and built upon so hopefully it won't hurt the future.

Also thinking about another line " I thought I'd be a different woman" what if she was a different woman if Pedro never sacrificed himself, if there was no threat to them. Life is full of I thoughts and what ifs.

Again alma was never the villain. She wanted the best for her family she just couldn't understand that her best was hurting them.

Alma had a dream of what her life would be and it stayed a dream.

TLDR

Alma was never a villain only a traumatized women who never dealt with it properly and ended up hurting her family and I hope more people understand that

~chloe’s cat saga~

putting various asks about chloe’s cat/what it says about her finances under the cut. spoiler alert: she didn’t spend $3000 on the cat.

Chloe didnt buy Noble she found him as a stray. in what world would a tabby cat be $3000?

chloe found noble and the other cat (who passed away) in a dumpster bc they were abandoned...

I thought Chloe's cat was one that had been abandoned? There were two others, but they died. Even so, all the Dance Moms families are privileged. Chloe earned that money, she's paying for college, which is more than some of them are.

Christi literally said Noble is a rescue. People really need to stop trying to villanize Chloe.

I mean that’s why I was confused lol. $3000 seems like an insane amount of money, even if she had gotten him from a breeder. rescuing him makes a lot more sense.

when it comes to chloe paying for college though, I do wonder if she has taken out any loans. pepperdine certainly isn’t cheap, plus she seems to be living off-campus. but the lukasiaks probably are in a pretty good financial position when it comes to paying for college.

The problem isn’t that the lukasiaks are rich. I mean it was inevitable they’d all get rich after the show. The problem chloe shaming those who’s only goal is to make money while doing the same thing herself. That’s the problem.

I think you’re missing the point of the lukasiak wealth thing. Their wealth is not the problem. It’s chloes words and her contradictory actions that are the problem. She tries so hard to be woke by liking the right stuff on Twitter, posting the right stuff on her ig stories, and even named a plantAOC in order to prove that she’s not your typical money hungry capitalist. But then continues to take product endorsements. I mean ffs her latest vid was a glorified ad. At least own your wealth. Acknowledge you have privilege. Instead of talking about things she clearly doesn’t understand.

okay I do get these criticisms, and I think naming her plant after aoc is kind of cringey. but I guess my thing is that, number one, I think people are really taking that quote of hers about money and running with it. chloe probably should’ve been more precise with her words, but looking at the quote again, she says, “And it’s not because they don’t agree with my political views. But, oftentimes, people who have differing political views, to me, all that says is that you care more about your money than you care about human rights. Umm that you care more about your political party and unimportant things more than you care about Black Lives Matter, LGBTQIA+ community, women, uh minorities.” 

she’s specifically talking about tr*mp supporters caring more about money and keeping money and accumulating money over human rights. looking at when that article was published (on my birthday coincidentally lol), it was only a month after the election. if you’ll recall, prior to the election, there were people (including quite a few celebrities) coming out about how they were going to vote for tr*mp because “biden is going to raise our taxes!!1!1!1!!!!” that stuff also tied in with the fear of biden ~ruining the economy~ or that he would be raising taxes to ~fund grifters sucking on the government’s teat~ or how he would be ~giving jobs away to illegals~ or whatever. it’s pretty callous to be more worried about all these hypothetical biden plans (that were rarely rooted in reality anyway) than about, you know, all the horrible shit that tr*mp did over 4 years. I think it’s kind of reading into that quote to say that chloe said, “money is Evil and Incompatible with caring about human rights,” and I think the context of the quote being about tr*mp supporters is also important.

now again, I get that some of the stuff that chloe is saying and doing can easily come off as her being your stereotypical ~cringe liberal~, as twitter would say. but I don’t think that chloe saying that tr*mp supporters were more worried about money than human rights in any way suggested that she was like advocating for class warfare or to abolish capitalism lol. if she has said stuff more specifically like that, please feel free to correct me. 

Chloe: *rightfully criticized trumpies support of a terrible person and their need to prioritize money over actual humans when asked about it*

Hating ass anons: WeLL ShE BoUgHt aN ExPeNsiVe CaT SoOoO EvErYtHiNg ShE SaYs iS WrOnG

I’m sorry but are people really that mad because she bought a fucking CAT?? They’re mad because she has money?? Mad because she can do what the fuck she wants with her money? Like it’s not new information that Chloe has money and is obviously gonna spend it and people are gonna know because she’s on social media? Like who really fucking cares?? Like genuinely who actually fucking cares?? There are way bigger fish to fry? At least she’s giving a cat a nice home tf? These anons are REACHING! Her buying a cat didn’t have shit to do with what she said about trump supporters, but the mad ass trump supporters are gonna watch her every move and wait for any moment to be like “SEe ShEs WrOnG!!” Like get a life omfg.

I swear these anons take any chance they get to make a mountain out of a molehill just so they can have something to say about the Lukasiaks. It Is Not That Deep.

I think there’s a split between anons who want to criticize chloe because they just don’t like her/the lukasiaks, anons who are straight up tr*mp supporters and are big mad, and a couple of anons (who I’ve included in this post) who are probably more liberal/leftist who are critical of her from that end. when it comes to the first two groups, I agree, they’re just looking for things to get pissed about/reasons to dunk on chloe/ways to prove that I “coddle” the lukasiaks. for the third group, I understand some of their criticisms, but also think that what chloe has said has been overblown to make their argument.

and since other anons have pointed out that chloe did not, in fact, spend $3000 on this cat, but rather took it and some of its littermates in as strays, this whole argument just feels like exactly what you said--Not That Deep.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

also re ppl talking abt things in the concepts of Careers.....just like when it annoys me when ppl start “resume / interview tips” with a tone of “You Fucking Fools” instead of say “this is all a goddamn game and the whole hiring process is a halfassed attempt to weed out the less exploitable at the min wage level and reward the privileged at upper levels and decisions will largely be arbitrary and this is all just about trying to adjust your odds”......it also annoys me when ppl (artists on twitter........) talk abt the necessity of Networking (being considered amicable by ppl you may potentially work with) with a context of “you fucking fools” instead of “again although capitalism pretends its a meritocracy its really not and unfortunately its not necessarily realistic to assume the quality of your work will serve you nearly as well as not just making friends but trying to establish personal connections as a means of making professional inroads”

i mean again even at the minimum wage level, someone whose friend already works at a place and recommends them is way more likely to be hired than anyone else who hands in an application. because beyond hoping for someone who can be scheduled at any and all hours and never say “i cant work then,” they dont really care who gets hired and its kinda just eh fuck it lets call this one. and interview them as if their job here has anything to do w interpersonal skills and the ability to deftly maneuver their way thru interrogation abt how much they might value their family and own personal existence over the company that pays them about ten cents a minute.

anyways its not like i dont think “networking” (seems weirdly euphemistic to me also) or finessing details on your application ISN’T helpful, just that its kind of demeaning if not insulting to talk about it like its all obvious and anyone who doesnt strategize the way you do is incompetent and doesnt deserve to succeed and its their own fault for not thriving. coz thats accepting the whole “this is a meritocracy” lie—that is definitely an assumption found in basically all discussions of anything—that necessitates these ridiculous secret maneuverings to get a foot in the door at places that treat you terribly to allow you to maybe barely survive off your work

anyways like of course i dont think that artists should have to seem friendlier than other artists to succeed & even if thats how it works i’m not gonna accept/endorse that premise yknow......like damn. its an element everywhere that yeah your Social Skills impact how ppl treat you professionally but im not about to pretend the Real Solution is just that those ppl who get fucked over by that fact just need to learn how to Be Different

like to a degree its sort of nice that just being in the same general professional sphere can make artists known to each other......but also like. if ppl around you dont personally consider you likeable, it then might close doors to your career. like damn nobody likes me, i’m glad i dont have to talk to ppl to draw

funny story actually once i was in a situation where im pretty sure nearly everyone was assuming i was a serious artist with a serious project. it wasnt at all a formal setting or even relevant what everyone did like just ppl hanging out / chillin but i still like, got automatically accepted by random nearby ppl in a way i was like oh god no i dont do anything lmfaoo...i got drunk followed on twitter by an artist i actually vaguely knew of & i think it took them a couple weeks to realize their mistake......i had a guy who wasnt an artist but was still involved in working w/ them talk to me a few times, increasingly somewhat drunk which is probably why he was talking to me (not in a nightmarish oh no a drunk guy is talking to me way, luckily, it was fine actually) & at one point he mentioned some artists who were there who i definitely knew of & how he never knew them to hang out w ppl after events or whatever & he was like idk are they too good for us or w/e & i was like lol nah i kinda know of them & i think theyre both just pretty shy (which was true lol in my head im like ive seen their diary comics abt being a bit socially timid.) and also i was thinking abt how ppl will and have assumed i think im too good to hang out / talk to them or are generally snobby, when actually i’m just anxious, and then doubly uncomfortable when i find out abt the stuff ppl have said abt me (like an unrelated family friend talking abt me when i was like, 11 or something lol; ppl talking abt how i wouldnt take up their invitation to join a group chat, since they make me nervous and if i do show up i cant say anything and probably feel worse; ppl talking abt how i accepted hanging out w a group i mostly didnt know but like brought stuff to do quietly in the corner like draw and write and stuff & had just kind of been making fun of me in the bg for the subsequent months i continued to hang out w them w increasing misguided confidence lol)

its funny (no it isnt) that ppl will think their specific brand of social language is the one that gives them the only accurate reading of other ppls social cues, & that everyone else has to learn to accommodate that, instead of ever considering the fact that its actually not a flat universal constant & maybe THEY need to learn more that some kind of subtle facial cue doesnt mean the same thing for everyone, that everyone doesnt verbally communicate in the same way, that there are cultural differences in various forms of communication, that avoiding eye contact doesnt always mean someone is full of contempt or lies, that people dont express affection in the same ways, that ones immediate impression of someone isnt always equivalent to their truest essence laid bare, etc etc

like everyone has their own language really & there can be mistranslations & nuances that are lost b/w ppl & you can’t always blame the other person for your own misinterpretation unless you consider yourself constantly superior mm

like its definitely all a lot of personal connections everywhere but that doesnt mean it should be

and the personal appeal of someone to strangers l o l . . . which can be a largely harmless advantage to a huge one. smdh. well it all stretches into a larger topic and many things annoy me

[tendori-is-my-life]

do u have any headcanons on tenga's family/home life? like none of the parents in this anime seem to really exist but he straight up moved out for the summer and when chidori mentioned his parents he waved her off? so its a topic, they just didnt explore it? im just curious what others think, feel free to ignore this ^^

Hi give me a moment I’m hyperventilating because someone actually sent me an ask about my nerdy opinions

The lack of parents in this anime is something that I’ve been thinking about as I rewatch the series. To answer your question, I think Tenga’s family/home life is pretty similar to all the other Kiznaivers. Pretty non-existent. 

-Katsuhira’s parents work overseas. -Hisomu lives on his own. -Yuta mentions that his parents work all the time which is why he was able to eat what he wanted as a kid which led to his weight gain in childhood.-Nico mentions that her parents own a hospital so they’re likely busy all the time as well

We never hear what the deal is with Maki, Chidori or Sonozaki but they’re probably in the same boat. The kids are left on their own to deal with whatever happens in their lives.

Which makes their bond as Kiznaivers and as friends so touching to me because it’s like they made their own family and their own support group. None of them are alone anymore! They have people who care about them and look out for them!

Going back to Tenga for a bit, I know that when the show was initially airing the fandom really latched on to Tenga declaring that the “worst people in the world” were the ones who hurt kids and animals. Which the fandom interpreted as maybe Tenga coming from an abusive household.

Personally I don’t 100% endorse that theory but do find it interesting. 

I like the idea that Tenga might have younger siblings and maybe he came from a small town and is just living in the city for school (I’ve been rewatching “Your Name” a lot lately which got me thinking). Tenga definitely gives off the “Big Brother” vibe. He looks out for people and that’s one of the things I love about his character.  

Other than that I don’t have many other solid thoughts. Like you it drives me crazy that they skim over what could have been an interesting plot point, but given how short the series was they just didn’t have the time to get into it which is a SHAME.

This answer is a little all over the place but I hope it made some sense. And I love getting asks and writing down my thoughts about the series and characters so my ask box is always open if you or anyone else wants to throw something in! I’ll try and get to it as soon as I can!

Thanks and thanks again!

P.S. I’m ugly laughing at your username 10/10

[janiedean]

@nederys all of you guys kinda lost your shit but i don't think you're being consistent at all. you didn't go for it being misinformed or wrongly placed, just that it was "gross" bc it was "romanticizing" blabla, like if someone made a fic about ETA terrorists or whatever and i advocated censorship and asked for it not to exist. when you accept kink and RPF, you need to stand on that principle even when it's YOUR personal/national. shaming ppl into submission is the anti strategy and it doesnt actually convince anybody of anything, much literally if it's screaming in another language to the OPs. i didnt wanna reblog or anything but i was very unpleasantly surprised with how you guys handled the situation (and i say this bc i care and i know you value rationality, not to piss you off YOUR personal/national sensibility like if someone wants to write a fic 'romanticizing' tec bundy murders or a rape fantasy or whatever it's their field day just tag it properly, it's no different for a criminal organization as i see it. a piece of sexual fantasy or literary work is not a guarantee it's portrayed in an accurate way or that it's a moral endorsementj + I'll hear your argument on 'positive representation' so i'll take your word for now but it did really come of like "your evil porn is romanticizing evil irl so it should be censored". as for the bad taste etc thing - as long as the person in question doesn't find out i dont personally see the harm. other ppl getting second-handed distastefulness/offense about it is a slippery slope, bc again that quickly devolves into "ugh why you write about rape! / rpf! if you can write kink porn and you can do rpf (like i mean, what, we just tweak the hair color and the initials to make it 'fictional'?) - it follows you can write "distasteful" kink porn about rpf all you want. it's still fiction.okay in order

In order:

as I said in the other reply, people lost their shit because we’ve had this discussion for years and every time it happens SOMEONE (most likely american but not necessarily) shows yup informing us that since mafia in US english means generally organized crime and not THAT specific organized crime we need to chill and WHO CARES YOU’RE OVERREACTING. at some point there’s a limit to how much nice you can be when you’ve been trying nicely for years and people just dismiss you most likely also because you’re not poc enough to complain - again, when it happens with people who can fall into the POC definition doing this kinda stuff automatically means you’re racist, but with us it’s not even disrespectful? or recognized as potentially harmful? fine, we lost our shit, but it’s also not the first time it happens;

the point isn’t that they were making a fic about the mafia, but if we take the ETA terrorism similitude, it wasn’t ‘making a fic abut ETA’. it was, ‘we are making an RPF fic where we take a real living spanish actor who has a friend who died during an ETA bombing and we make him the commander of an ETA faction which plants a bomb in madrid’. I’d find it distasteful if it was about FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, but whatevr - it’s fictional. real people who are actually involved with those criminals on the other side? not so cool. and the fact that these people see nothing wrong with casting them as criminals for *the mafia* shows they have no idea of what they’re talking about and again, with fictional people you can try to ignore it (even if it irks me also because 90% of the time it shows a total failure of understanding the character just by casting them as mafiosi but never mind that’s my pet peeve), but real ones? who made a pro lgbt movie and are *allies* when a mafia killing actually was what kickstarted the creation of the hugest and first anti-homophobia/pro-gay lgbtq association in italy? like. that’s fucking with real people and honestly if I was the director and knew I’d feel personally slandered especially if I come from someplace where statistically everyone knows someone who’s been hurt by the mafia in the last fifty years if they weren’t themselves. like I had a friend whose father worked for the police and the antimafia division especially and lived in palermo back in the day and criminals did try to grab her out of her pre-school and they had to change cities VERY quickly after that, and I don’t even live in sicily. and she’s not even sicilian. it was twenty years ago when they planted bombs across the entire area and killed hundreds of people just in the 90s (comprehensive list). it’s not just WRITING FIC ABOUT THE MAFIA, which I could be relatively handwaving with if it was about fictional people and even then it irks me to hell and back, but real people? who make movies pro things that the mafia hates? really? and I have to hear ‘are you angry because you’re homophobes’? I don’t ask for it NOT TO EXIST, I’m asking a basic modicum of decency.

ted bundy vs mafia: ted bundy is ONE person and he’s been convicted and whatever. if someone’s personal fantasy is fucking ted bundy WHATEVER their problem. if THEY want to do the self-insert with real criminals whatever, idgi but if they’re aware of the implications whatever. the mafia is a bunch of people and they thrive on positive media representation and it’s such large scale that it fucks with this entire country on multiple levels (ad also other countries) and here you’re not using real criminals, you’re casting as criminals people who most likely have been hurt by that same organization. it’s a difference. and if you portray it as a nice organization where hey you help people bypassing the law and gay people are accepted it’s... just... not how it works.

rpf: I’m generally pro rpf as long as people don’t go to the actual real people and don’t harass them irl (which would make a lot of rpf shippers inappropriate) but like... idk if you were around in spn fandom at the time of the infamous j2 haiti fic, but if you weren’t, tldr: person sees the aftermath of the haiti earthquake on tv, thinks ‘well that’d make a perfect setting for my j2 bigbang fic’, writes an entire fic where jared and jensen go to haiti the month it happened, her artist makes art for it photoshopping those two over like... real pictures of real dead people and three betas don’t find nothing remotely cringy in this concept. the fic gets published. it gets slandered to hell and back and while I didn’t agree on assuming the author was a pre-trump (she most likely had no idea that stuff was kindaaa racist) and that she should have been educated, I’d like to presume that people would think thrice before setting a Romance Story TM on a background where when it was published people were still excavating corpses from the rubble. it’s about the same concept as the romantic mafia fic. but with the haiti fic anyone on tumblr would agree that it’s hardly appropriate, with mafia fic it’s just ‘meh shut up you’re whining’. also, while I do agree that jared and jensen, as famous people, signed up for this, too, I don’t really think using real people for this kind of thing is fair, educated or a favor to them. I get it’s all fantasy and so on, but at least use the fictional characters. I can imagine j2 wouldn’t be happy with knowing noncon fic where they’re protagonists exists, neither with the haiti fic, but the noncon is standard fandom kink and whatever and no one else is involved, the haiti fic DOES. and while the people in those pictures wouldn’t even know, if that’s what you jerk off to at least be aware that it’s not exactly tasteful. and the people mentioned had zero idea that jerking off to the *mafia* au is not tasteful and that the *mafia* is *not* random organized crime. no one would have a problem if they called them CRIMINALS or mob or whatever without using the specific mafia word, but they like it because AESTHETICS which 90% of the time aren’t even true because the godfather aesthetic is so NOT the camorra aesthetic it’s not even funny. and of course we shoudl educate people instead, too bad that if it’s about haiti they listen and if it’s about us, they don’t;

 kink: same as above but like, again, let’s always use the poor j2 guys. the j2 mafia au as above is absolutely ew to me but at least j2 are american and most likely didn’t grow up somewhere the mafia could kill their relatives or friends. guadagnino did. and whether he knows or not (HOPEFULLY HE NEVER FINDS OUT) it’s another level of disrespectful to take a guy who made a pro lgbt movie you liked and putting him in that scenario without being aware of it. and they don’t listen if you tell them. that’s the problem. I can be very tolerant, but good god at least hear people out on the subject. and if it concerns a situation that isn’t even old or a dead organization but one that’s thriving in the country still and fucks people over every day I’d like for these people to recognize that at least it’s something not cool and not just their jerk off fodder material. at this point do the GODFATHER AU, which is what they want anyway, stick with the american mafia and try to not give them positive rep, because this idea of the mafia as a cool thing plays a major role in actual mafia organization marketing themselves as a good thing and makes the work of people actually fighting them way harder. if no one thought it was cool, it wouldn’t have half the influence it has. but do I ever see mafia aus with cops or conflicted henchmen or the likes? nah. it’s all SAD ROMANTIC BACKSTORY WITH CRIMINALS. call it some other way. it’s not asking that much.

also: I am entirely down with mafia stories in media and stuff - again, I ove my sopranos and boardwalk empire and goodfellas and I actually do like the godfather when a lot of people here at this point hate it too, but none of those things make it look like it’s palatable to be in the mafia. people can jerk off to it I suppose, but at least they should be aware of that. lowering the bar, it’s why I get pissed at people passing jc as a healthy nice relationship - at least own up to your badwrong and don’t sugarcoat it. in this case they don’t even own up to the fact that it’s a real thing that hurts real people, never mind caring for the feelings of the people they’re fans of - I could jerk off to my rpf faves in anything but I’d like to know I’m not doing it to something they would loathe, and if you have to at least use the fictional characters as the jerk-off material. I mean I’d feel uncomfortable af using them as jerk-off material to something I know they as people would hate. obviously I’m pro write whatever you want, but I’m also pro ‘be aware of what you’re doing and know you’re possibly jerking off to things that are actually harmful to a lot of people and if you do and are cool with that whatever but at least try to not make it look as it’s a good thing’ while at the same time assuming that someone who tells you it’s not cool is doing it because they’re HOMOPHOBES when the mafia is the most homophobic organization in existence or close to it. we do need positive rep when it comes to mafia stories and we never get it.

like, final example: if I had seen one ‘steve rogers is a cop who wants to take down the mafia-like organization’ for every ten ‘tiny boss steve rogers and his russian henchman bucky are THE POWER COUPLE OF THE NY CRIME SCENE AND THEY KISS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND HELP THE WEAK WHEN THE POLICE SUCKS ASS’ fics I ran into it’d be lovely, but the point is that I’ve never seen one such fic even if it’s a lot more IC for steve rogers to take down criminals than being a criminal, and if you make people notice that nicely (which we did more than once) the usual answer is ‘go fuck yourself it’s just aesthetics the mafia doesn’t hurt anyone’ when it actually did, does and will do as long as they have means to, and since this recasting of canonically good characters as *mafia* henchmen who are happy to be there and not itching to get out just really makes pass the concept that the mafia isn’t really that bad I think I/we affected people have the rights to point out that it’s already a distasteful thing that people should at least read about before assuming it’s random organized crime that can be substituted for whichever worldbuilding they like, and if they don’t care for that fine, at least avoid involving real people who actually would loathe that irl in it or, if anything, at least recognize that it’s fucked up to hell and back. and none of the people in that thread had the grace to do that.

I mean, obviously if I had to take the choice between one such fic not existing at all but censoring stuff and it existing without censoring stuff I’d pick the latter even if I absolutely don’t like it, but what irks me and the other people involved in this debate is how nonchalantly people do these recasting assuming that they’re not romanticizing the thing (which they’re doing) and then don’t listen to others when they’re pointed out that they’re doing it and they should be aware.

like, again, I think the haiti fic was a thing that no one with some salt in their brain and a basic amount of decency should have published. someone did. they got criticized for it and it sprung a lot of discussion (including comparing it with a gen kill fic set in east timor during the war which actually did it right and so no one actually thought it was exploiting a tragedy or being in bad taste) and tbh I think that when doing fic about serious things you should at least read up on that. but the point is that these people don’t listen, haven’t listened for years and most likely will keep on not listening and sorry but seeing a person from palermo who shoots movies that would make any cosa nostra boss mad being recast as a cosa nostra/mafia sicilian boss who, if compared to a, uh, real life person who died recently would deal with people seceding from this organization by ordering to kidnap their children and have them dissolved in acid at the ripe age of nine is really goddamned distateful and hearing ‘so your problem is that they’re gay is that why you’re so angry’ as a response instead of reading it and thinking ‘damn maybe that was a bit out of line’ isn’t exactly that great.

especially because again, these organization thrive on people assuming they’re less bad than they actually are and we’re not talking about stuff that happened three hundred years ago - the kid dissolved in acid happened in 1996 and it’s hardly the last time something like that happened. it’s not a general crime organization, it’s a very specific one, and I’ll be fine with people jerking off to any italian stereotype in existence while I roll my eyes and be fine with it, but at least I’d like these people to know what they’re doing. and they aren’t. and they should be. and on top of that some positive rep where the mafia people are inherently bad and the good guys want to take them down would be nice. I do get that it looks like I’m being incoherent but I’m not saying they can’t do it, I’m saying they should show a minimum of consideration, and they aren’t. then no one’s stopping them from doing it of course but just the fact that they-won’t-listen kind of says a lot. :/ and when it comes to real people and real things it’s not just fiction and you should at least be aware of that.

[chiisana-sukima]

Same anon - sorry if I came on too strong, I actually agree with you on some things but also - I saw a reddit discussion some time ago and one of the posters was a SPN crew member and he was saying how fed up he was with their pranks, bc they turned a 4-hour thing into a 6-hour thing and it got old very fast. Like, imagine being a mic guy or a camera guy and you just have to stand there holding heavy equipment while those idiots quote porn at each other. As for Misha, of course this is only/

Vicky’s business, but as far as I know 1) the third woman got dumped when they decided to have kids, so, like, you invest 5+ years in a relationship and then bye bye, and 2) he likes to pretend he’s deep and whatever, and instead he picks up young fans in a bar, that looks a bit seedy to me. It’s not being poly - it’s what ‘normal’ men want? A family at home and a hot girl whenever they want? Yeah, that’s easy. I’m only expressing an opinion bc he talks about this stuff so much, btw.             

Hi again, nonny! No problem about the coming on strong thing. I really mean it that it’s fine to not all like the same people- some things bug some people more than others; I have my button-pushing topics that I can’t stand people too about. No biggie.

I actually agree about the biggest issue with the on-set stuff being the people in tech/behind-the-scenes positions, and so forth (including post-production too). Afaik, those people have way less institutional power, hiring is network-based, so they can’t even really complain, and unlike the few members of the cast who stay around for years, many of them work only a few episodes, so there’s no practical way that I can see to gauge consent even if J2M (and whoever else is involved) wanted to.

As far as Misha and whether he’s a good representative of poly culture goes, we’ll probably end up having to agree to disagree. I had heard that their other partner and they broke up when Misha and Vicki had kids (although the person who told me wasn’t positive; that’s why I said “may or may not”), but my poly family split over my kid too, so I’m not inclined to think less of someone over that. I was the instigator of the breakup, despite me still being madly, deeply in love with one of the people I and spouse left. We broke up over a combination of lack of social/legal protections and support, and differences in beliefs about childrearing (my kid has special needs, and we couldn’t agree on whether day care was appropriate for him or not). New parenthood is a common time for breakups in both poly and monogamous relationships.

If the breakup was because Misha didnt want to raise a child poly, then yeah, that’s not a shining endorsement of his commitment to poly issues, but on the other hand, he also may not be a person for whom poly is a natural and easy life choice, and that’s common in the partner who isn’t the one suggesting it too.

As far as the kinky 3ways/getting some on the side- yeah, if that’s what one is into,then that is indeed one of the benefits of being poly. If straight/vanilla/”normal” dudes want that, then they’re welcome to do the work of being poly too, and then it’s not sleazy anymore. It’s only sleazy if one is being dishonest/if not all parties are giving fully informed consent.

Like Misha and Vicki, I (the assigned chick at birth person) am the more “naturally” poly partner between me and my spouse (the assigned dude at birth person), and it’s been a long adjustment for Spouse coming to believe that when he’s on a hot date that I’m not also going on, I really mean it that I’m excited he’s getting a chance to enjoy himself and I hope everything goes awesome. I just, for whatever reason, don’t seem to have been born with a “normal” amount of jealousy, and I’ve also, on a personal level, had some “casual” sexual encounters that were among the most meaningful and joyous experiences of my life, so why would I not want my partner to have that kind of happiness too?

I’m guessing that you’re not yourself poly, and maybe don’t know that much about what being poly is about on a conceptual level, but please correct me if I’m wrong- I don’t mean to er… poly-splain to you. :D  If that is indeed the case though, this: The Ethical Slut, Third Edition  is a uh, seminal work and iirc an excellent read (though tbf, its been a couple decades since I read it, so I’m not positive how well it holds up- seems to still have excellent reviews though).

Trigun 10 - 13

episode 10:  - What fucks me up about Vash's hair not being naturally spiked up like that is this means he apparently spikes his hair when he's stranded in the middle of nowhere. Like regardless of whether he has food or water, he absolutely has... hairgel??? And either a mirror or Extreme Muscle Memory - Also he goes to sleep with his hair still spiked how gross are your pillows?? - WHY DO YOU NOT USE AN ALIAS TO SIGN UP FOR THE SHOOTING COMPETITION, VASH, PLEASE. 

- What's the heterosexual explanation for Wolfwood commenting on Vash's smile over and over

- Tomato ketchup scam

- DOES NOBODY HAVE A NORMAL AMOUNT OF GUN IN THIS SHOW

- Good concepts: Vash and Wolfwood raising twelve children together (Milly and Meryl live next door and own a cat and Meryl just wanted to eat snacks on the porch in peace)

episode 11: - Wolfwood focusing on 20 things that are not the intense game of chess he's playing is adhd culture

- I appreciate this cat keeping him from cheating - I also appreciate Wolfwood's accent

- MILLY'S STILL MY GIRL THOUGH, also heck yeah same hat at being the youngest sibling. Not that i'm from a family of ten but look, details. 

- FAKE DATING FAKE DATING FAKE DATING 

- WELL OKAY THAT WENT FROM ZERO TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING REAL QUICK

- Like it doesn't seem the obvious visual parallel but Wolfwood keeps reminding me of Lupin and I think it's just the very specific way in which he's lanky? I really like the proportions of it.

- The middle of the desert isn't like, my ideal place to examine my privilege but whatever works for you Julius.

- I will endorse Wolfwood being into Milly BUT I WILL ADD HE HAS TWO HANDS AND SO DOES SHE

episode 12: - ????? whats this dramatic first scene

- THESE GIRLS SITTING ON A BENCH WITH SOME FOOD IS ALL I NEED

- but it seems we're doing some serious plot aside from Vash being an octopus

- wholesome ice cream buying that's kinda creepy if you don't know these people

- ..................... I get that this dude is dramatic villain time but we have a zoom in on his face and i can't see his eyes because of his bangs and he's eating a hot dog and i can only think of 

- oh wait i got so distracted by the Diemen thing i didnt get we were doing cool technology telepathy.

- CAN THESE ADULTS STOP GIVING RANDOM FOOD TO KIDS, LIKE HELL YEAH FEED STARVING CHILDREN BUT ALSO UHHHHHHHHH

- God I would absolutely expect Legato and Wolfwood's VAs to be swapped if I had to guess based on the designs, but they both do such great jobs anyway.

- me focusing on 20 things that are not the intense plot of the show they're watching is adhd culture

- You know i've been wondering if Vash had a bionic arm or something since like ep 1 since the villain in that one did as well. STILL THOUGH THAT'S JUST TWO GUN NOW IM WORRIED ABOUT MY THREE GUN DEMANDS

- Look not that im opposed to pleading for your life, but exactly how does being locked up for 20 years to train end up with a person who doesn't want to die because like, that's kind of miserable.

- OKAY I DEFINITELY KNOW THE VA WHO DOES THIS MYSTERY LADY BC SHE DOES MIKI IN UTENA AND STUFF I LOVE HER

- Vash you're very good.

- Don't know why I doubted this show would have a plot

episode 13: ... Wait oh no this isn't a recap ep is it. Ugh. Only Kill la Kill is allowed their recap episode.

- god it took me two days to get back to this i hate recap episodes so much

- LOVE & PEACE

- also is this the same studio that did escaflowne i should look that up

- OH BIONIC ARM BEYOND CONFIRMED THANK YOU

- i don't understand how those scars look but i do approve of the general gist, and also I GUESS THIS IS WHY HE PRETENDED TO BE ASLEEP IM SORRY FOR WHINING (Though to be fair they got paid to do their job so why would they care?? MYSTERY CONTINUES)

- See this is why I hate recap episodes!!! You can't just _skip_ them

[brainbowunicorn]

how the fuck can you defend pewdiepie when he literally said "kill all jews"? I watched the video but I don't care what the context is, that's an unforgivable statement

If you would just watch the video i just reblogged then you would understand it?? It was a thing with keemstar or how the shit he is called and he was just wondering what things people would do for 5 bucks; he also didnt say it and if you watched the video you would have seen that he was clearly shocked and that he apologized RIGHT AWAYHow about the times he helped people?? How about the million dollars he raised for charity? How about him apologising to people, helping the people from fiberr to get back when they were banned? No people just see the shit that the media puts out and make assumptions

It was a joke, a horrible tasteless and immature joke, but dont hold it against him? You should focus on people who are real racists (tana mongoose or whatever) but not people who are c o m e d i a n s

EDIT:felix's official statement: "It came to my attention yesterday that some have been pointing to my videos and saying that I'm giving credibility to the anti-Semitic movement, and my fans are part of it as well for watching. I don't want to cite the sources because I don't want to give them any more attention. This originated from a video I made a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to show how crazy the modern world it, specifically some of the services available online. I picked something that seemed obsurd to me that people on fiverr would say anything for 5 dollars. I think it's important to say something and I want to make one thing clear: I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes. I make videos for my audience. I think of the content I create as entertainment, and not a place for any serious political commentary. I know my audience understand that and that is why they come to my channel. Though this was not my intention, i underst ad that these jokes were ultimately offensive. As laughable as it is to believe that I might actually endorse these people, to anyone unsure on my standpoint regardj g hate-based groups: no i dont support those people in any way.

Kurt Eichenwald doesn’t give a damn about offending Clara Jeffrey

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/kurt-eichenwald-doesnt-give-a-damn-about-offending-clara-jeffrey/

Kurt Eichenwald doesn’t give a damn about offending Clara Jeffrey

http://twitter.com/#!/theturner/status/299707234986909696

It’s no stretch to call Mother Jones and Vanity Fair liberal publications, but an online scuffle between Mother Jones co-editor Clara Jeffrey and Vanity Fair contributing editor Kurt Eichenwald seems to show the two jockeying to prioritize liberal ideals. Can we allow just a little bit of sexist language if it advances the cause of gun control?

Jeffrey offended plenty with her ghoulish reaction to the murder of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, tweeting, “So much for good/talented guy with a gun being able to stop mentally ill guy with a gun.” She wasn’t pleased, though, when Eichenwald steered readers to a blog post entitled, “Clara Jeffrey is a Bitch.”

.@kurteichenwald So you think you’re making the world a safer place by pointing your followers to a post that calls a fellow journo a bitch?

Insulting editor of another magazine I read via Twitter is offensive. @vanityfair used to be great. Really gone downhill in past few years.

Twitchy’s original post on Jeffery’s tasteless tweet managed to compile quite a few people who expressed their disgust in fewer than 140 characters. Eichenwald, who never even called Jeffrey “the B word,”  needed quite a few more to respectfully disagree. Reading them all earns you 3 credit hours toward a gender studies degree.

@busychasingnick @clarajefferye Before u make a decision based on Clara’s lying depiction of my impossible to misread tweet, read it urself.

Have you ever?

Please be courteous and recycle your care for each other. In order to help your entire environment be sure to have plenty stress to conserve for conversion in to the next thing to have energy to care for. When I originally thought of writing this I didnt have to think, and to think it would show up later.

Did you ever meet someone who was just the single most caring person and you cant return it to them because other cares are holding you back and by all the powers that be, you have no power to create a circumstance that'll prove something to them or whatever. No species or gender is exempt.

Remember if it be redemption. I feel like everything I do suffers from what I dont do and everything brings me back to ye old curse that has grown of now. Ok maybe love is too strong a word but I have this "superhuman care" for all things and I think it'll ruin me for its supervilliany. You could all give me the word and i'll work as some savior to save the world before it gets worse, its just my nature against the justice of nature, against the conditions under anyones mood that is under the weather. Under silver-lined skies I thought if maybe I was a superhero it be supercool and the ultimate testament of it would be where the climate will climax where im at and I could be everyones sacrifice just without dying with the b-movie blood and all. I can and shall be a man and be what you want me to be if it keeps thee happy perhaps till space and time stutters, but who is more true, you who you are or you who you are to be-be-become. Costume and all at all cost I'll make it worth your while if you hung a smile by my hunger by trying to be human or more like you man. Squint your eyes into coin slots at me and you'll see through me, it dosen’t take much to use me(I seriously have). I could project that Im bankrupt in face value but its not over till the mistakes and misshapes of that which made me sing an aqua hue aqua blue opera. I could build a canary yellow nest of goodness in your heart and yell as well as infest my confessions in all of you(whatever that means). I can hold protest in your allowance and allow and arrow like sense to hit me and on it i'll hang my allegiance with you. Metamorphing engorging encouraging everything Im endorsing. I never quite metamorphosis I didn’t like. I cant stop drinking pink liquid to stop the nervousness business of when we greet and I can splinter in every shade you'll see from A to Z, say my peace, save my pieces to rest with and they'll care till everything is made of me. Shades of gray spades screaming blue screaming. Dreaming of me stinking of you from having your way with me. And I will stop without you having to say please if need be. With a red and black attempt content with a back from the dead of a violet objective. I have the mission to fantasize cooking vanilla chicken for you and other selections. Have you ever seen someone so green who cares about the emerald blades of grass and until their cuts can be seen?. Have you ever heard of someone who talks so dirty just to promote the clean brown of the ground you walk on?. Have you ever been a person whose not just purple in eye only but in hands from doors that open to nothing that you knock on? Have you ever went looking for the cause of a copper taste in mouth and not find it?.

Have you ever been shown the light only to be blinded?. - Warning the following parts contain graphic imagery that shows if I were you I would continue - And with this crystal clear superhuman hearing I can hear by hear the screams of terror near by around the world you put yourself in. A curse, let it be whatever you say, you cant die, but others can and only they can get away with it. Give yourself a disposition and a name and we can all change and be the same. Hold an alliance to anyone who'll be there for you and in the end you'll hurt worse, be scarred, burned, marred, less concerned, charred, and are you willing to go on, yes you are for you've already gotten this far. Now I'm not saying any of this is me nor stating anything, Im just trying to to play a stage of something striving in other lives. I cant fake the caring part though that is always true. Tried and true. Have you ever met someone whom may not even be real just real fake?. Have you ever met someone so pretty that underneath they're pretty ugly?. Luckily I haven’t, I just meet people and I do the best at having to restore them(whatever that means). Have you ever met someone who was tired all over when they wrote this?(I seriously have). This is just another disclaimer for the good nature of people and I just thought to do a tribute to those people. Those chosen few who aren’t striped with good and evil. I swear Ive met people good as a whole and feel I can make my aid available in making them better(whatever that means). Remember all heroes are careless for self and only want to help others before them and themselves. In my comical issues and situations Im remembered only in my redemption if it be. I am no savior though just a sayer of words. Im cursed with facts about my own life and care little about them. Im heroic irony only in the faint golden sense of what you put me in. I simply have an overbearing care for everything in the world (I seriously have but its not that simple). Hopefully I can be better than the last person you saw who called himself me. My gift to you is this whore like invitation of adultlescent residue of every sticky situation Ive gotten myself into. My squealing and bleeding is like a caring play by play of an everyday event. My care multiplies enough to apply to you, replies and all. Im so damn heroic I cant shield you any longer and I rely on warnings. Im so long lost I hope theres no love loss between us. Im so playful that caring is sharing and i hate playing guitar to myself.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

How do u feel about Eno from MonsterKind?

closes book & spins around in chair—oh! didnt see you there. well i’m glad you asked. sets down cup i was drinking from.

tldr i quietly cherish him. i figure it is not exactly his best look right now but i would be surprised if it was to turn out he is/was secretly evil & trying to work against everybody the whole time lmao…..honestly i figured that things were doomed in this way when kip said he trusts eno the most…….that can’t go unpunished. rip

but it is also an endorsement that he must’ve been top quality all this time if kip trusts him that much. i doubt its as Misguided as just being taken advantage of. no idea what the broader con here needs to further take advantage of re: kip….the fact that ppl listen to him whether he likes it or not? or that he can probably survive mad low temps? if he was assumed to die back in the day then the latter seems somewhat relevant one way or another. but i am too dumbassed to make good guesses w/little info

anyways i’m kind of assuming…that eno does sort of have suspicions or straightforward knowledge abt what happened behind the scenes, & its being confirmed just by kip saying there’s some link b/w wallace & the investigation of yore…like, i know i just said im dumb as hell & my guesses are bad, but i’d guess eno thinks that their inside info getting out elsewhere was via himself, not yumi, despite what he said. or even technically if it couldve been yumi i think he thinks it was his own fault. and its not surprising he wouldnt bring up his own suspicious abt his self involvement because like after everything went to shit & the entire project seemingly destroyed, there’s not much relevance to investigating how it happened if nobody plans to be involved. and it would be a little awkward then & now for him to tell kip he thinks he may have been involved in the downfall, even if inadvertently…hm

like……it would be nice if he had secretly developed some kind of assassin level knife throwing skills in the past years. wouldnt it always be. but honestly kip was fuckt the whole time…….nobody seems to be threatening anyone else with knives but i guess if some shadow organization that murders at whim & unhindered shows up & makes threatening demands, the implication is that anyone could be killed, even if some people get to stay alive for the moment just for the sake of pushing them to do something or other thats convenient for whatever latest death plot is underway

e.g. i’m not sure what the point is of purposefully trying to put kip on alert besides having him fall back on eno even more than he would without bringing up that specific threat

but really besides the “well i’m already resigned to someone stabbing kip in the gut while killing everyone he knows in front of him w/promises to kill everybody else too” factor of it all (im not really but—) another reason i cant be that mad is b/c i am also resigned to the fact that wallace is basically in the same kind of position eno was, of an accidental accessory to secret murder

b/c it would truly be a twist if wallace WAS actually in on it the whole time lol….but i doubt it. but the fact remains that he is definitely unwittingly a pawn of the devil!! this wouldnt be a problem if, marxism. anyways the thing is that i really, really doubt that wallace will smoothly learn of whats actually going on before anyone else knows or anyone gets fucked over and be able to gently reveal this to everyone in ways that nobody feels betrayed or breaks their trust with him. i am not even sure how that would be possible…..it is basically inevitable that wallace will have to be exposed as connected to this whole secret society of nightmares, and nobody really knows wallace well enough to be certain that he actually didnt know. and really, the fact that he Doesn’t know doesnt change the fact that he is in fact a part of it and facilitating it, even tho arguably it isnt quite his fault

tbh im assuming that the reason he’s having to do all of this is that he was willing to be transplanted from a to c, and because of that he is like totally clueless about like….everything. he presumably has no idea the kinda shit everyone around him is worrying about like all the time lol & wouldnt know not to try to push past those boundaries. but he can’t exactly be asked to do anything that much different from what he’s doing now / anything too clearly Heinous…besides maybe getting Extra Info or simply making ppl nervous, like making kip think he’s endangered.

coz t.b.h……………i’m not sure that, between kip seeing wallace as harmless and well-intended vs dangerous & ill-intended, the latter is worse? because he is a mix of the two….he doesnt mean any harm but he IS dangerous, technically. not directly thru his own actions quite as much, but still, obviously……kips first impression was basically correct lol rip. i dont think there WAS a way for kip to ever not suspect wallace as being less than purehearted, and of course i also dont think he won’t have to find out that wallace doesn’t want to hurt everybody, but at least he’s a bit on guard about all this fuckery…..even if putting him more on guard is part of some evil plot, which also means its bad…….obviously ideally everyone gets to only ever be best friends and also all be kip’s boyfriends, but i don’t think i my wishes have a tendency to come true, so maybe wait on anticipating that one. in the meantime maybe the inevitable revelation that wallace may have been a double agent will be lessened if kip was holding out for it all along lol. i guess it depends on how much more inadvertent damages wallace’s role is intended to invoke. weird sentence there but i stand by it

basically like dude!! try Knowing Shit instead of not knowing shit!! he may only be an accidental hand of the devil but that doesnt mean he’s totally not working for satan here, so hopefully when he finally realizes the extent of it, he gets to help to right the situation. presumably. idk. but how would anyone know for sure that he never knew what was going on besides trusting that he is not just an excellent actor? i suppose we are in the same situation with eno, huh. despite being given kip’s endorsement, there is only a limited picture of him & then the knowledge that he probably played a part in all the bs w/all these ppl dying. i suppose you can guess that he knew all of what was going on or he didnt or somewhere in between….

basically w/wallace and eno i am assuming that with both itmd a case of well-meaning humans being taken advantage of and accidentally infiltrating these vulnerable circles and sending back information and oh oops, atrocities, and everyone’s dead. i cant imagine that at least kip is meant to survive, and not sure why eno would feel particularly safe on that front either, and clearly any casualties that seem even vaguely necessary can just be carried out at random so you know. bless wallace’s well meaning heart that doesnt know shit but like still, if ppl get fucked over they still have the right to be mad, and if theyre dead theyre still dead, and etc, and also try to learn shit even if it was just a regular, non Agent Of Evil job.

basically what i am trying to say is that im pulling up on my motorbike and telling people that if they’re going to be mad at eno, they ought to be equally condemning of wallace, or that is just inconsistent. like, feel free to either way surely…….i can’t guess that it’d be smooth sailing for eno either if he has to awkwardly divulge that maybe he knows stuff about the whole assassination backstory.

i do wish he had those knife throwing skills for sure…..wish he wasnt being gunpointed into pressuring kip into something or other that surely will endanger him & surely others….but i get why he doesnt exactly seem to have other options at the moment lol. this guy could have assassins all over the block if whatever godforsaken conspiracy is already underway and waistdeep. smh. as i have to assume that he would only endanger kip if he was basically being given a catch 22 of Endanger Kip or Endanger Kip. i suppose he could be doing it solely so he himself won’t be assassinated, but i am personally piecing together that he and kip Are Really in fact That Close & he hasn’t like, faked caring about him this whole time or something

uhhhh tldr i think of him as basically in the same position as wallace, tho to be fair i dont think of wallace as blameless part for not knowing whats going on (like im guessing eno didnt understand until it was too late) and in part because even without the devil he IS just barging in from a in the middle of c & also pursuing audiences w extra vulnerable ppl w/o knowing fuckall (unlike eno who i am also guessing is not from a…)

and perhaps the sole answer to your question as really i was only inferring the part abt asking if eno is suspicious and dubious or not: I Am Fond Of Him Like I Said

what an essay! as all my asks turn out to be!! but i can’t help but theorize. even though i am a dumbass. this is in part because i watched mh for years, and in part because i never assume i’ll still be alive to see any particular plot point in any ongoing media i consume, so i furiously speculate and create au’s in my head and all. for example if i die before its definitely revealed kip doesnt get twenty husbands—which, good luck proving that to me anyways—can anyone tell me he doesnt? no, because i died. so he definitely does. and thats all i have to say on the matter, thank you for tuning in to Milo’s Hour Of Speculation, And Knowing Everyone Is Kip’s Boyfriend
