I ship tyzula in a ‘this story is azula-focused and action-filled with lots of tension and conflict and drama so it’s nice she’s got a pink gf on her side’ way, and I ship maizula in a ‘this story is focused entirely on these two fucked up girls who are fucked up in different ways who then try to be less fucked up as possible for each other’ way. I also ship mailee in a ‘let’s explore azula’s deep sense of abandonment and rejection and jealousy and let her work out how platonic love is the safest for her at the moment and make her be the centre of the trio where the rest of the trio is dating’ way.

I love excusing any and all of batmans behavior by saying "no he doesn't really mean that he's just playing the long game to manipulate you for your own good because if you knew how he really felt then he would have to navigate a path that would be even more painful but actually he thrives on pain because he thinks he deserves it because nothing makes sense unless he deserves it and so when he makes sure he can stay in his role as batman by sabotaging everything around him it's not actually sabotage because he's doing the correct and right thing in his mind by causing just enough pain to be able to fix it and keep the cycle of pain and healing going"

love the way my party is set up right now because shadowheart and lae’zel will be hacking and slashing the big boys front and center then astarion is like whirling and twirling stacking up bodies while being mostly invisible and lyra is like rolling her eyes, clicking at astarion to have him move out of the way and delivering the kill shot from the rafters…. narratively AND structurally satisfying

Karkat: try to let yourself have something nice for once

This time when Gamzee reaches out he goes straight for the bruise on your forehead, and you grit your teeth and let him, steeling yourself for when it starts to hurt. By the way your pan is aching, you have to be bruised all the way to the root of your horn.

When he touches the place that hurts, though, it's so light you hardly feel it. He makes an unhappy, hissing little noise through his teeth, and takes his hand away again; when it comes back he's got the cloth you used to clean his face off, dabbing with almost ludicrous care at the lump on your skull.

"You're gonna turn all motherfucking sorts of colors," he murmurs, and works his way down your cheek, back up again, to the dried mess sticking your eye halfway shut. "Close this for me, brother."

You try. You seriously do. But when his claws come near your eye, you twitch away on instinct and snap your fangs before you can get a hold of yourself. It hurts, centering in your horn and out like a spiderweb, spiking and flaring in your jaw as you grit your teeth--

Gamzee's hand settles on the horn that doesn't hurt, and gives a slow, hard squeeze.

It feels so fucking good. For just a second, your body and your thinkpan both unclench and go loose like a muscle cramp giving way. The pain in your head sinks down to something manageable as your jaw untenses. His bad arm is wavering, but he's cleaning the blood away quick and gentle, careful around your swollen eye. You just want to let him--

Threshecutioner Vantas: The MISSION. The mission, your moirail, PROTECT HIM.

--You can't, you can't, you still need to finish cleaning him up, put a pressure wrap on his leg, he's going to start having pain again soon, and you want him in sopor before that happens, and you have to send your mission report to the empress--

"Ohh, beloved," Gamzee says, soft and sleepy, and pulls you inexorably forward, ignoring your tense resistance, rubbing slow and steady at the base of your good horn, filling your pan with the sense of him. There's an extra edge to his voice, a whispering hum, when he says, "You're all tangled up, best friend," and you look up at him in time to catch a slow pulse of purple light through his eyelashes. "I smell it on you--"

"Keep your creep powers the fuck out of my thinkpan," you say, and he sighs and blinks the light out of his eyes. The hum of his holy chucklefucker voodoo bullshit dies out of your horns, whatever he was doing fades, and you feel--bad again. Worse again. "Are you done? We're clean, we're done, let's get out of here and get you in a recuperacoon."

"I'm done," he says, and scratches his claws slow and gentle through your hair, pressing and kneading at the root of your horn, still talking to you in that quiet, steady voice like he's trying to talk down a panicking lusus. "Still some stuff you gotta let go of, though."

"I don't need--" Fuck that feels nice. "No. No, I'm-- If you're feeling better then we're done here, Gamzee, I have shit to get done."

He nods, considering that. "Well, I'm not a threshecutioner," he says, and you know the tone he takes when he digs in his fucking heels. Goddammit. "But you schoolfed me pretty good how this works. if you wanna get some shit off me, motherfucker, you're gonna have to give me something back." And he leans forward and rests his forehead on yours, locking the nubs of your horns against his. This time when his eyes start to glow, you can feel the hum right down through your horns. He's coaxing at something, trying to draw it up.

Karkat: How bad is it?

==> It's going to hurt you. You want it to. ==> It's going to hurt him. He wants you to. ==> It's going to hurt both of you. It already has.

the results of that "is fanfic a book" poll have shown me one thing and its that this site never graduated past that absolutely insufferable phase in 2013 where everyone acted like every book is the single most sacred thing on earth

my roman empire is that my GRANDMA who only watches tv and doesn't have access to social media gets why we need to stand with Palestine but my chronically online friends and parents who claim to be "so well informed" don't.

To understand why we're so happy about the election you can just look at the fact that our security information service (our intelligence institution) has for years been warning that our current president is keeping very dangerous close allies of putin as his personal advisors and just last week they've been interrogating our current president about him possibly leaking very sensitive security details to the russian spies in our country.

And now we've elected an ex-NATO general who just two days after the election is already meeting with the these Security Information Services and talking together about the dangers Russia is posing for our country's security

Also our current president has refused to make a general out of this super respected guy in the security information service ('cause he's the guy who keeps telling our president about the dangers of Russia) and first thing our president-elect wants to do? Name this guy general of course. It's been like 10 years overdue promotion

stuart price really did hit the nail on the head in that 2016 radio doc about why neil and chris have been working together for over 40 years

Both candidates are, unfortunately, terrible options for Americans this election cycle. Just a choice of 'bad' or 'worse'. Like choosing between consuming throw up or dog poo.

// bruh what

bruh your idea of 'equal' is very strange. On one side you have essentially stasis, which is a corporatist democrat and a running mate who does things like make free school lunches for children

and on the other side is a literal fascist who wants to make 'embryo migration' illegal because they believe life begins at conception, and thus an embryo isn't allowed to cross state lines to be moved into another freezer.

these two things are in no way the same.

unless of course you think that a former prosecutor and someone who was convicted for rape in a court of law are equally bad of course.

There is not a bad and a worse choice. There is an acceptable choice and a literal theocratic fascist who thinks Saudi Arabia executing gay people would be a-okay if they were Christian instead.

Yeah, you might have been able to make this 'both sides are bad' arguement in 2016 but sorry, we lived through 2016-2020 and the next time they get control of the powers of government the raptors will have figured out how to use the doorknobs.

But hey, if you're okay with putting the movement that embraced BLM and the movement that wants to allow women to die on the operating table during a miscarriage in the same boat, that's on you buddy. But don't pretend they're the same. There has never been a more clear black/white divide of good and bad in an election cycle in your lifetime.
