“but if you didnt read aftg for the sports or the romance what did you read it for” is such a good question. unfortunately i am weird and mean and i read it because i like reading about people who are also weird and mean

Thinking about it now, (I forgot….) but were Sasuke and Naruto purposely placed on the same team for the sole purpose of using Sasuke as a tool to control the kyuubi right from the very beginning…? To further place surveillance over Naruto’s life so that they’d be able to keep him on a chain whenever he leaves the village for missions and so on. That’s so ugly…

thinking about the economic divide in the outsiders again. sigh.

for a largely aro & ace fandom... why are so many of you pressed that andrew & neil — mr & mr 'family means nothing to me', mr & mr 'the most untypical relationship', mr & mr 'you like me' 'i hate you but that doenst mean i wouldnt blow you' — don't say i love you or get married. if we're all so progressive about strange or weird relationships that don't push the expected norms, why are so many of you uncomfortable settling outside of normalcy?

do you think aelwyn adopted all these cats that were left at the shelter because she hopes she can save them in the way no one ever bothered to save her?

Made another spindle. It's very small. Also very irregular and lumpy due to the wood (I wanted the raised brown lines to stay and erred on the side of caution in how much I cut away...but that did lead to a very irregular spindle).

It also wanted to crumble as I carved, so pretty much all the fine tuning I just did by sanding it, which helps to compress the fibers down as well as remove material without crumbling or splintering.

It really came to life when I oiled it. Probably will be best after a few good coats and some time. My woodburning kit seems to be totally gone, which is a bummer. So I'm not woodburning anymore.

Spins well. Obviously being so tiny and light it was always going to be a fine spinning spindle, but effortless thread from an unprepped piece of fleece is pretty indicative as well. I seem to find myself carving mostly thread spindles at the moment. They're always so small and light in the hand, they remind me of holding baby birds.

So the Seraphim only take orders from certain people they've been programmed to follow (namely the Vegapunks and the Gorosei), but also they do take orders from individuals who possess an authority chip. Between that and the knowledge that the Seraphim are cyborgs, it makes me wonder...

Like, do they have somekinda control chip installed somewhere in their bodies (brain, spine?) that acts as the thing that forces them to follow orders and not act (too much) on their own will? 'Cause would the existence of an authority chip, a thing that essentially "sends out orders", not also imply the existence of something that recieves the order (like other than their brain) and forcibly puts it into motion? Something similar to whatever visual scanner+database combo Vegapunk installed into Kuma that allowed him to instantly recognize certain people and whether or not they were enemies or allies to him (at least as far as the WG thinks)

'Cause if so, like. I wonder. Could you remove that chip and basically free the Seraphim from being just borderline-mindless flesh robots?

In that scenario... what would they become?

Because, like, we don't know how much Free Will the Seraphim even have, how developed their minds are? Are/would they be fully functional human beings (if immature because they're still kids) who have just had half their mind essentially turned off so they don't think about anything else except following orders? If you freed them from the WG's control would they be able to live and function freely just like Stussy's clone can? But when being under that kind of control is all they've ever known, would they know how to function? Like what do you do, where do you go, who do you become? Who are you to begin with, does that even matter? What about your relation to the person you were cloned from, what does that mean? Are you doomed (🐊🦩🦇) or expected (🦈🐻🐍🦅) to become just like the person you were cloned from? Do you even want that? What will having that kind of freedom to do and become whatever you want even mean to someone who has never known what it means to even want something for themselves?

(But also, depending on who you were cloned from, would people even trust you enough to allow you go free and live your own life, or would you be deemed a threat by simply existing because you are the clone of a horrible, heinous person?) (Of course, we know existing is not a crime, and no one is born into this world a criminal. But we also know the World of One Piece does not always think this kindly)

I’m starting to think the term greebled is not a real word people use outside the robot fandom

AU where Aaravos saw Leola showing her friends magic and immediately took her inside to talk about discretion and yes my unicorn this is a wonderful thing you're doing but there are some very powerful elves who will be very pissed if they find out you did this so let's work together on making sure they don't know, hm?

Alternatively, perhaps better: AU where the Startouch council has an Astrid who says "sometimes it's better to show mercy rather than adhere strictly to order" and a Kosmo who actually. fuckin. looks into the future and goes "uhhh it's too late for avoiding chaos. how about we step forward with kindness and give the literal child a second chance?"

me and the metric paper wasp building a nest on my front door have a deep, emotional bond built from making eye contact multiple times a day through the glass and so naturally i wanted to express my love for him by way of little treat and looked up if paper wasps like sugar water but the search results were all "HERE'S HOW TO LURE WASPS INTO A TRAP TO KILL THEM AS HORRIFICALLY AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THEIR LAST MOMENTS ARE PURE TORTURE AND AGONY" and like no, sir, you do not understand, we are in love

i'm having a weird day and a lot of weird feelings about church stuff (read: being raised mormon and leaving and watching everyone I care about stay) so i'm gonna talk about it a little bit under the cut ↓

i'm in my 20s. my immediate younger sister (who was probably the one I was the closest to) turns 19 in september. she's leaving for her mission at the end of october. one of her friends, who was one of my closest friends at church because the two of us were the only queer people in young womens, had her farewell talk last sunday and is having an open house tonight before she leaves.

it's going to be a year and a half before I see my friend again and I'm scared to death that the person who comes back won't be the same person I cared about. I'm scared that the person she is after that and the person I'll be after that won't have anything to share anymore. and it's even more terrifying to think about that with my sister. there's already so much distance between us but I love her and I want her to have a place in my life no matter what our differences are. I just don't know if I can pretend hard enough for it to bridge that distance.

I don't think I'm ever going to be the kind of exmo who tries to send people "proof" that their church is false and evil. that's cruel, and it provably doesn't work, and quite honestly, leaving the church hurts really bad and I don't want the people I care about to have go through the utter fucking devastation and loss that is a faithbreak. but staying doesn't hurt less. staying means continuing to comply with and believe in cruel and bigoted values and contribute to a culture of sameness. staying means denying queer people and people of color and disabled people the right to exist without assimilation, denying the validity of cultures and traditions that dare to exist outside of the white christian american way of life.

it's scary. it's scary and painful and I know I have said before that the only thing harder than leaving is watching the people who you love stay. you can't drag them out and you can't go back. you just have to pretend hard enough to bridge the gap until it stretches too far. and either you lose them or they lose everything. there is no win condition. there is no happy ending. no eternal glory, no taking back the hurt and the anger and the grief. i wish to god (the god I don't believe in, the god whose name is pencilled across everything broken in my life) that there was.
