I know I haven't updated Refutation of Time in well over a year but every time I listen to this song I can't stop thinking about how I've written hakuba in that story Q_Q I WILL FINISH THIS FIC ONE DAY. IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.

when the coruscant guard toured their new barracks, they immediately clocked a problem.
âwhere are the rest of the bunks?â stone asked, looking between his datapad of assignments, and the last of the dozen bunkrooms.
even sleeping two to a pod, with four pods to a roomâ even hotbunking, like they were going to have to if the âsuggestedâ shift schedule was correctâ there simply werenât enough beds.
thorn grimaced. âwe could give up the rec room and mess.â
âand eat where? and we need at least one room for sitting in and staring into the middle distance,â stone countered. theyâd been doing a lot of the latter that day already.
with a conceding shrug, thorn turned to fox, who had been increasingly stiff and silent as the inspection had continued. stone couldnât blame him. the building that the senate had âgenerously providedâ appeared to be held together by force of habit and spite; stone could relate, but he didnât want to spend a war there.
âwhat are you thinking, sir?â stone prompted fox. the vod was always thinking something. that was his problem.
fox shook his head slightly, as if stepping out of deep water. he hummed.
âi saw something on the holonet⊠leave it with me,â he said.
after fox had leftâmarching with determination toward the broom cupboard heâd claimed as a an officeâstone turned to face thorn, who was already looking at him with a particular tilt to his visor.
âon the holonet?â thorn repeated. âhave you got any idea what heâs talking about? all he looks at on there is conspiracy theories and pictures of tookas.â
stone slowly shook his head. âiâm sure itâll be fine. iâm sure itâll be⊠fine.â
the guard moved in. they made it work. what other option did they have?
six weeks after landing on coruscant, fox burst into the commandersâ shared bunk with something fluorescent streaked across his armour and the stench of burnt feathers in his wake. heâd lost his helmet somewhere. stone had been cleaning his armour and threw the cloth at fox in instinctive reaction, but fox just batted it away.
âwhat the kark, sir?â stone spat out, heart thick in his throat.
âwhuzzat?â thorn mumbled as he rose to a sit. âfox, you stink.â
âof victory,â fox countered. he stalked across the room and thrust and vial of smoking ⊠something⊠to stone. âhere, drink this.â
stoneâs eyebrows rose. âno? sir?â
âis it tasty?â thorn asked, sleepily.
fox produced another vial from his utility belt and held that one out to thorn. he popped the cap with his thumb. smoke boiled out, glittering like dust motes. this vial was presented to thorn.
âi put honey in yours,â fox said.
of course he did.
but if fox was handing mysterious vials to thorn, he probably wasnât planning to kill them all. probably. besides, it had been a long assignment and the war wasnât going anywhere. the chancellor wasnât going anywhere. stone took his vial, and saw thorn take his.
âwell. cheers, i suppose,â he said, catching eyes with thorn, who rose his vial in turn.
between them, fox danced from foot to foot like heâd drank too much water before a long shift. his attention flickered between stone and thorn as they drank. his eyes were bright and he kept making and unmaking fists at his sides. he looked like a tubie waiting for their first live fire drill.
stone drank.
âhuh. that doesnâtââ
then things got really kriffed up.
cody rubbed at his comm as if that would help comprehension.
âsay again? some interference on my end,â he said.
the tiny blue rex rubbed the bridge of his nose. âtookas, vod. hundreds of tookas. theyâre all over the senate building. theyâve herded the chancellor into his office and are blocking the hallway. no one can move them. the optics would be terrible.â
âwhere did they come from? canât the coruscant guard take care of it?â cody didnât want to assign fox to animal crowd control, but wasnât protecting the senate his job? an invasion probably counted.
âthatâs the problem. one of the tookas⊠it knows dadita.â
âexcuse me, captain. did you say thereâs a tooka that knows dadita?â general kenobi asked, leaning in to see rex. heâd been working on the other side of the office on the negotiator; sound didnât have far to travel.
âthatâs right, sir.â
âfascinating. what did it have to say for itself?â
rex shifted his weight. he looked off-camera. âit said, âtell cody iâm the karâ iâm still the smart oneâ. sir.â
silence weighed heavily in the room. cody scratched his nose and turned the message over for a second time. a third. an eleventh.
âtherefore you believe that this tookaââ
âis commander fox, sir, yes,â cody said, so rex didnât have to.
âfascinating,â kenobi said again.
âyes, sir,â rex said, his tone implying that fascination wasnât really the problem. âand alsoâ excuse me, sirs, one moment.â his voice became louder as he looked off-cam again, and his brow furrowed. âdid someone give foxâika a lightsaber? why is it red? what do you mean, you found it in the chancellorâs office?â
cody met his generalâs eyes, and suspected his own were as wide.
blast it, fox was the smart one.
#sat here about to ask why there werenât more animal transformation fics then remembered i have two thumbs#halfway through the third paragraph i changed tense to past and thatâs how i knew it was gonna get longer#fox spent his entire time on kamino telling cody he was the smart one and cody was the pretty one#cody refuted that#because he was pretty AND smart#coruscant guard#commander fox#crackfic#rook writes things#star wars#the clone wars#corrie monster bingo

There's some inherent tragic horror in the fact that Simon canonically doesn't remember much of what he did as Ice King, just 'dreamlike impressions'. I imagine he remembers people, certain significant moments but otherwise it's kind of a blur. Simon is over a thousand years old but he barely remembers any of it. Not to mention the non-magical human brain isn't built to contain so much memory so any attempts to recall could be dangerous for him.
Imagine how terrible it is to be told a story of yourself acting strange and manic and pathetic and terrible and there's no internal context for it. It may as well have happened to someone else in a dream but its the personality and actions most people know you by. Simon hears an outrageous story of Ice King and who knows if it's real or not? He barely knows who the man was.
#adventure time#simon petrikov#I initially started this post for humor in that people could just say WHATEVER about IK and Simon couldn't refute it#but then I realized the inherent horror of it#to be known as a man you don't remember being#people holding you accountable for actions you dont recall doing#no wonder hes so mixed up about ice king#hes expected to take ownership of a person he doesnt know

i keep thinking about the "belgian scam ring" conspiracy because it think it betrays a misunderstanding of how internet scams work.
like, the majority of scammers don't really spend their time carefully maintaining a story? they're often low effort by design. i got a series of spam emails recently telling me they'd recorded me masturbating through my webcam and i need to give them bitcoin or they'd send the footage to all my contacts. my webcam is never plugged in and i have no email contacts, i know that's bullshit, but it doesn't matter because i imagine they're sending that same email to a thousand people, and statistically at least one of them will fall for it. it's the same with the classic nigerian prince style emails, or the 'my cat is sick' posts from near-empty blogs with stolen photos. there's just not much point crafting a story to cover your ass when a half assed one will catch a few easy marks.
so seeing some users peddle the idea that the majority of palestinian gofundmes are fake and everyone who verifies them is actually in on it is like... farfetched? or at least it would be a logistical nightmare. i'm not gonna say high effort, organised scams have never existed, and i'm not gonna begrudge people for being cautious with their funds. but at some point the reality you have to construct is so convoluted that i can only assume it's just an excuse to avoid saying that you don't want to donate to people. and that's your choice, but at least be honest about it, because trying to discredit fundraisers based on flimsy evidence is doing tangible damage in the real world.
#not to mention the fact that those palestinian bloggers HAVE refuted the claims heavily#but like im saying even if they hadnt the premise is flawed#long post#also ive rewritten this like 6 times bc i kept going into tangents about gofundme's verification process

thinking about compiling screenshots of golden/silver age batman exclusively calling dick his ward to combat the allegations that it was âinitially a father-child relationshipâ
#dc#batman#brudick#i donât even ship it#i think i'm still mad at the poll when people were trying to refute the brudick points#by saying shippers are also biased and ignoring the history and that it really was a familial relationship early on#me the only asshole on this website enough of dumbass to try to read early batman âno it fucking wasn'tâ#if you hate the ship fine but don't back up your argument with complete lies#the pro-brudick camp has receipts which gives them way more validity than the haters#i'm sure somewhere out there there's dick grayson pre-crisis saying bruce is like a father to him#there's so many comics and i've barely scratched the surface#but i did read both the first golden age compilation book of batman and silver age world's finest compilation#and neither of them say anything like that#and no âhis ward dick graysonâ is how he's called constantly it's one of the stock phrases in the ever present narration#early comics fundamentally didn't understand they were a visual medium and are full of very tedious and unnecessary text panels#and to be fair each issue needed to function as an intro to someone who had never heard of batman and robin before so#âand his ward dick graysonâ#every damn time#their relationship was adult man and his plucky kid sidekick he inexplicably hangs out with#which doesn't make sense and doesn't parallel to real life real social interaction#but neither does a man going in a batsuit to fight crime#and the out-of-universe explanation is because this comic was aimed at kids who were supposed to project onto dick grayson#and the kids want to be batman's kid-partner not his kid-son#it's not that complicated this trope still exists today#kid who should not be here but is because it's a kids' show/book/movie/etc#i stg i'm gonna become a brudick shipper out of spite at this point#and WHILE I'M COMPLAINING i am also going to be mad at the people who get all up-in-arms#about all the evil heroes doing child endangerment on their poor abused sidekicks#should there be kid heroes? no but cape comics would suck without them so stop complaining and enjoy yourselves#RL vigilantism is also always bad stop bringing real world standards into this they don't apply

exhibit a:
exhibit b:

(screenshots come from gif by @chenfordsbee thank u)
#the evidence is refutable but i feel like i have seen that face smiling from the side enough times by now to make an educated guess#iâm so normal about this movie#rwrb#red white and royal blue#rwrb movie#firstprince#red white & royal blue#alex claremont diaz#taylor zakhar perez#nicholas galitzine#henry fox mountchristen windsor#henry hanover stuart fox

bruce characterization is so hard because he really has been written all over the place. generally i try to think of him as a man who really does mean well, but whose drive for justice and unprocessed traumas can blind him to his shortcomings and lead to him inadvertently hurting his children. i also think that comics are a medium that doesn't usually lend itself well to character growth, because they to maintain a certain status quo to keep telling stories from, and so the bruce in my mind would honestly develop and learn from his mistakes a lot better than canon bruce actually does, because for someone who espouses the values he does, it makes no sense for him to completely stagnate, right. he's a puzzle you can put together in a lot of different ways and it's fascinating but also can be such a pain because of all the different books writing him in so many different ways, but characterizing him solely as an asshole is just boring and reductive imo...
...but all of that said i still think if martha kent ever found out how he talked to kon in sb94 #85 or in those issues of batgirl '00, she should be allowed to beat his ass with a pitchfork. yknow?
#rimi talks#i think the most positive bruce interaction kon has had was that one brief one during stephrobin era#and that was more neutral than positive imo#like....... i don't think bruce has any REAL reason to dislike kon. i think thats stupid.#thats being weird abt a time bruce was written as fantasy racist (AND IN THE WRONG. EXPLICITLY.) to give kon a reason to refute him#or being weird abt a time bruce was being insanely possessive of cass for misogynistic 2000s writing reasons#but it DOES mean that canon bruce has never actually been great with kon.#therefore i'm starting a kickstarter to have him put down. benefits of this would be: kon would get insulted way less--#no but fr i just think ma would actually hate his ass#he's been an ass to clark sometimes (he's also been a good friend to clark sometimes) so that relationship is complex and she respects that#she respects that clark cares for him even if she and lois privately agree they'd tear bruce a new one if he ever gives them the opportunit#(frankly lois probably has ripped him a new one before.)#but youre an ass to kon?? to martha's little baby boy??? look at his little face. he's just a baby and you do this???#you will NEVER get a slice of peach cobbler. die mad about it#bruce#ma kent#kon

I love how when Christians get called out by using the Bible against em they just say you don't understand the Bible instead of actually refuting anything or explaining why the Bible doesn't actually mean what the Bible says. The critics seem to have way more understanding of your holy text than any of you do.
Lol you wish
#anon#answered#I've literally refuted and explained why multiple times#not my fault you choose to ignore it

"if they donât tell me explicitly that mike was never attracted to el then that means he was"
[removes hands while kissing]
[unresponsive to kiss & "i love you," eyes wide open]
[the sunglasses stay on during kiss, also get off me you're crushing the flowers i carefully placed right in between us]
[no fear]
[one fear]
"idk if they donât make it clear to me that he doesnât love el romantically then that means he does"
"they haven't given any indication yet that he doesn't like girls..."
"yeah, mike has definitely shown attraction to girls"
[image not found]
...
#this is NOT in opposition to elli's post i rb'd btw it's not obvious it's not supposed to be obvious. but that's the point. if you read#between the lines and pay attention to the subtext then it becomes the only logical conclusion. it's not going to be In Your Face obvious#that's the POOOOOOOOIIIIIIINT#the idea that if it's not explicitly stated outright then it's not there is just. annoying and literally not how this show works ever#a bi m*ke reading recognizes the subtext without acknowledging the fact that the whole liking girls facade is just that. a facade.#and that mike's queerness being invisible and his generally being constantly dismissed and invalidated is a HUGE part of his character#i DO think they'll make it more explicitly clear in s5 but. it IS already there if you look closely enough and don't ignore things#that don't fit into your existing perspective#anyway this post is for marianne who said it was time for gay/bi mlke discourse again#harbinger of the discourse cycle. hi#(jk donât make discourse out of this im kidding itâs not serious)#(i mean the 'bi m*ke totally makes sense' takes never stop it's just that whenever people refute them everyone cries discourse)#(don't do that)#mikesbasementbeets posts#mike wheeler

I am absolutely obsessed with how in every single interview Ryan managed to shut down whatever new nonsense is being peddled about him/Eddie by certain fans. đ
He just says the exact right thing. It's amazing. It's getting harder to believe he's not out here on eddiebuddieblr and keeps up with what he needs to refute and how to keep us happy skpskspakapakapa
#his timing is impeccable#and the interviews usually take a minute to drop but he is still refuting the most recent take#it's amazing#911#i really need a tag for asks#anon đ

I can't believe we're really doing biden vs trump again
#this debate is just as incoherent as it was the first time#trump rambles on and on and biden just tries to refute whatever he can while they both ignore the original question

Text from Webtoon: "I put waaaay too much thought into Pontus' design for this form. The red star is a reference to how her star turns red when she's being a jerk; the red flower petals represent Tucker's profession, blood droplets, and Hanahaki disease; the split-in-half markings reference chimera animals; the gash is both from Zomo and similar to Pluto's scars; the bloody paw is the same as Gaia's; and more!!!!"
Full comic on Webtoon
#pontus#ocs#oc comic#not warrior cats#blood tw#pontus is still spouting the same rhetoric she's thought a million times before#but this time with a tiny voice in the back of her head to refute it#after seeing how much all these people care about each other#is that character development or just a phase? i guess we'll see
