If there is one thing so many people need to deeply and truly internalize, it is that fear isn't love. You shouldn't be afraid of saying, "no" to somebody, even if you deeply love or care for them. You shouldn't fear what will happen if you are unable to do something for somebody.
Fear is not love. Fear is not patience, respect, or admiration. You can love and be loved without feeling afraid for your well-being, safety, or livelihood. The fact that so many of us are taught that to be loved is to be subjugated and fearful is dangerous, and if that is something you struggle with, you deserved better. You deserve better. Fear is not love.

I do sometimes wonder if people here think that if a billionaire dies their wealth disappears or gets redistributed, or if a ceo dies their company suffers a massive blow. But nothing happens, actually. They die and their will is executed, transferring their billions in assets to their family members. Sometimes the state gets a very small percentage in tax revenue, some of which funds services for regular people. The boards of companies find a new person to be ceo and steer the ship of exploitation. Individual rich people dying has 0 effect on anything. The systems are way bigger than that.

I forgot to say this the other day, but why the hell did Malaysia 2009's red flag have so many iconic moments??? Webbonso umbrella convo. Felipe "I need a white vision please, come on, white visor" Massa and Rob "Felipe, baby, stay cool! We're bringing you the white visor, stay cool" Smedley. Kimi dipping to go eat ice cream in the garage, wearing shorts and flip flops, and then it cutting to Timo Glock, still sitting in his car in the pouring rain, watching Kimi on the big screen.
Watching it was just me constantly going:

Can i request how the arcana boys will react to the mc kabedoning them? Thankss :D
Alpheratz: He calls you cute and that is all he will say. But did you awaken something in him that he is unable to vocalize? Oh you did. If he did not like your action, he would have lifted you up and moved you away, and the fact that he is looking directly at your face is proof that he enjoys your presence. And also your face.
Arcturus: He wonders what you are doing, but then he realizes how close your faces are. Must resist the urge to touch you, but his willpower is overshadowed by the need to communicate. Do you want him to hug/kiss you? If that is the case, all you must have done is say so and not press him against the wall.
Pollux: He knew what kabedons were before you did, probably. Always hoped that he would manage to do it first, but now he is a blushing man, who can barely look at you. He mentions that it is embarassing to be looked at like this, but he does not want you to stop. Kabedon him at every chance you get, he is a blushing mess every time. He will begin to bring pocky with him, for the sole purpose of asking you to play the pocky game during a kabedon. He never manages to actually ask you.
Sirius: He gets the sweetest puppy eyes! For a moment he does not know how to best describe you. Brave? Adorable? Try-hard? Maybe a mix of them. All he knows is that you give him the power to tease you more. The fact that you closed in on him, surely it means that you are a fan of him. His face creeps closer to yours and he asks what you think you are doing. Cornered dogs might end up biting, after all. Strokes your arm with his hand while he basically flirts with you, but refuses to ever call it flirting.
Spica: Do not give him the idea to kabedon you in the future! And you just did. Are you ready for the consequences? He has managed to keep a straight face in the moment, but he did wonder if he should kiss your forehead since he has the chance now. Seeing that you did look rather serious gave him the idea to try it as well. Feel free to picture him training a kabedon in his room, because that is exactly what he does. Pollux is his training victim. Next time you try to kabedon him, he is prepared to do the same to you. No escape.
Vega: He blushes, all while trying to get you to move. Tells you that your posture is unfit, or that the walls do not get cleaned often, so it is unsanitary. Or that people are staring. He is not fit to be dominated. If you let him ramble on about the unhygienic aspects of kabedons, you may begin to hear his more sweeter words. That the two of you being so close causes his heart to skip a beat, and that if he cannot look past you, it is very hard to protect you. Not that you need his protection, but he likes keeping an eye out for you, so can you please move aside and let him do that. He died on the inside that day. And if you ever think about sharing what he said, he will learn teleportation magic.
