#putting the evil in lesser of two evils

[transpanda-1]

🎹again, we know Trump is objectively worse than Biden in every way. It’s j-just… if they lose then I have to blame the Democratic Party for being such mask off fascists with Palestine th-that people en masse no longer feel confident voting for them. W-we have these arguments every time when the situation can be summed up by how they’re simply a terrible group to be confident in.

I can't believe some of y'all "voted with your conscience" trump into office twice in my lifetime.

You're a braver man than I am yet a coward just the same;

Oh, tell me, when the curtain falls, which one of us they'll blame?

Oh yes, I gave the order; oh yes, the blood is on my hands,

But you, who would refuse me, will be on that witness stand:

Mark my words, my bloody boy, you might have stood aside-

You stood aside and lifted not one finger to save their sorry hides.

It's not enough to drop the knife; you must also wield the shield;

Stand yourself between I and them, and then refuse to yield.

'Twas I who gave the order, yes; 'tis I who'll lose my head,

But you the one who stood and watched as the streets turned crimson red.

Don't play innocent, my boy; you always knew the stakes;

Don't think that merely standing by will be enough to earn escape.

It's do or die, so don't you try to wriggle out of this;

This time you have but two choices to pick out from the list.

There is no middle road. There is no merely standing back.

Either they'll believe that you were with me, or you'll defend from my attack.

Election day tomorrow, for what could possibly be the most important election in our lives. I'm supposed to sleep with this peaked election anxiety/trauma??? Once again having to trust 345 million people to think critically and seriously?

ppl using harm reduction the wrong way abt the election is frustrating and stupid but the only people i see pointing it out then follow it up with the most brain dead takes ive ever seen

So imagine the Duke befriending a child and their parents then the child is very sick and he gets the little family out and away to get the child better medicine and it works and the parents keep away from the village only realising how bad it was when they were away

things happen and the child returns battered and bruised and wanting to make a difference somewhere but they can't and they die and then wake up in a strange world and they walk and find a child who has been there for a lot longer and is so weary for one so young and so old at the same time and they gather the child up and take care of her and they go on many years later (and many more children later who grow as people as much as they are able) they find another battered and bruised child who is not sad (yet) but angry at the world and everything in it and the child doesn't want them yet

and then something different happens something changes a rumble across the world and the first child realises her mother is dead and she feels relief utter relief and the weight on their shoulders on all their shoulders lessens and Eva this time leads them to what remains of a battle field and the two figures embracing one glowing and as they watch the one glowing disappears and they watch as the man gets up and smiles and also disappears

they leave and find the angry child but her edges aren't as sharp as they once and now she is just heartsick or heart broken perhaps where this time they don't say anything to her directly they just sit down and Eva for the first time talks about her mother, they were all aware of her mothers efforts to bring her back and as she spoke she used the mold to make a bowl and taking the cue the others did the same trying something that had been brewing since Miranda died the first time and from the bowl a flower grows

Eva is done talking now and another child takes her place all the while Evie watches despite her self and creeps forward curious and asks how to do that pointing at the 7 flowers and they shrug and just go try it its best if you're not really thinking per say just let your hands do what they want- Evie doesn't she grabs a handful and scoots back again (nervous that they would make her talk as well) and she begins to try and fails and tries again and fails getting frustrated and storming off this time Eva follows and finds Evie and just sits with her and goes you don't have to speak but listen to me and Evie is curious so she stays and listens for hours at the end Evie leaves again this time with a handful of mold and they Eva resumes her story as Evie try and manipulate the mold again going through the same cycle but this time Eva intervenes advising her to count and keep trying and on attempt something Evie is somewhat successful in making a vaguely recognisable shape of a dandelion

and Evies ability to see what happens in the world is still there and she doesn't use it as often but she does visit and observe Zoe who as luck would have it was talking about her and she watches it unfold and hears what Zoe has to say about her and Jack (and what Jack said in the mold to Ethan all those years ago) she goes back to mold and the group who now has a garden

Evie speaks now just the begining (before the Baker house) about the song one of the researchers sang near constantly (Go Tell Aunt Rhody)*1 and the many tests and the lives that were changed and her desire for a family only to be rejected by Miranda and later Mia*2

as she talked with Zoe's words in her head she realised that Mia rejecting her fucking hurt and she is still angry*3 and they understood through their own experiences at mother mirandas hands and things

it takes a lot longer for her to feel brave enough to talk about the Baker House and the Winters and Rosemary. Evie is afraid to be rejected again and condemned for her pain and her hate and her anger (they condem Mia yes but understand her to a extent what they heard about Lucas however? well they got pissed more so then ever before)

Evie grows and she wants to see the Winters again and visits one by one starting with Rose and Mia (she does not know how to talk to them yet just wants to see them), then with her family in tow finds Ethan and they talk (and Evie creates flowers) and listen and go their seperate ways and then Evie puts more thought into finding the Bakers and talking through it with them (it was both harder and easier then it was with Ethan... Marge does hold her hand for a short time)

all the while the mold itself changes grows calmer and more peaceful as a whole they find the masked Duke and heal him they heal the monstorous Rose clones (didn't heal more of changed they look like trees now unless you tilt your head in a certain way and you can see faces once contorted in pain and now looking like they sleep)

the inhabitants don't forget their pain and sorrow and some don't forget nor fully forgive but they do attain some semblence of peace

Developer interview

Mia did reject Evie and I will talk more on it when I finish replaying re7 it will be interesting to write to say the least (well it will be more Evie and Mia and Alan then Evie with the Bakers as a whole)

God, the US election takes I'm seeing are making me feel a despair I've never felt before. And that's with my filters in place and (I thought) curating my follow list well.

We're fucked. The future is fucked. And it'll be because these so called idealists just handed it over the the orange ass as a "protest".

[hareofhrair]

Gonna need yall to stop putting Biden is Just As Bad propaganda on my dash. Had to unfollow someone because I don’t want to a start a fight with them over it, but I’m about to bite the next person who puts that shit in front of me.

If you don’t like Biden, vote in your god damn local and mid term elections for third party or further left candidates so that we get better democratic candidates for future elections. But this one is already fucking decided, and I’m NOT ending up under a Trump led dictatorship because yall value protecting your personal sense of moral purity over the collective good. Whether it offends your personal morals to vote for Biden is IRRELEVANT in the face of the alternative.

This isn’t a lesser of two evils situation. One guy sucks. The other guy is LITERALLY PLANNING TO OVERTHROW OUR DEMOCRACY AND INSTALL HIMSELF AS A PUTIN STYLE DICTATOR.

PLEASE look up Project 2025 and stop acting like abstaining is some kind of personal ethical decision!

Running out of energy to police myself yet again. Back to monotony. To anyone who this affects that is kind, I'm sorry. To the people who decide to be jerks to me first, deal with it. Only I will decide which category you fall into.
