#that everyone would automatically assume this is about joe lmao

[cementcornfield]

Realizing that people don't always check the tags on original posts, so I want to be abundantly clear that this is about Tyler Boyd lol.

One of my men is playing on the Bengals...

[in-tua-deep]

I sent an ask like this before but I think tumblr ate it so I guess I’m sending it again. I love your tog/tua crossover! It was the post that made me watch the old guard and I’m v happy abt that. I was thinking about Booker ‘I have trauma about my kids growing old and dying’ Le Livre and I can’t help but think he’d go full dad mode on Five at all times. Five gets the father he deserves and Booker gets an undying child. Everyone wins.

oof yeah it would be... complicated to say the LEAST

I’m not sure Booker would be ready in any sense of the word to be a father again, and having an immortal child would be,, really painful honestly, especially when he had to watch his children grow old and die and now there’s this child who gets to live and it’s not fair

and Booker is... a normal father, for lack of a better word. He loved his children. He told them stories and swung them into his arms and pressed kisses against their rosy little cheeks, he held them when they cried and joined in with the laughter, and he loved them

and so he looks at this - this child, because Five is thirteen and he doesn’t deserve this

but Five is not familiar with the idea of a normal father. His father was cruel, was very forthright in the fact that he did not care about the children as human beings. It’s laughable to think that Reginald Hargreeves would ever tell them stories, would ever hold them or kiss their cheeks or laugh with them. Reginald Hargreeves avoided even touching them. A father to Five is monumentally different than what a father is to Booker

they bright side is that if Booker ever acts fatherly, Five doesn’t clock it as fatherly. He might accuse Booker of mothering him? But honestly Booker probably is like “we can’t let Five do X dangerous thing, he’s baby” which,, Grace helped the kids get ready for their missions, she never tried to protect them from their ‘work’

and some of the things are so far outside of Five’s frame of reference that he just assumes they���re an Old Guard thing or something, like when Five gets a smear of dirt on his cheek and Booker automatically grabs a handkerchief to scrub it off

(I can claim this because Five has such non reactions to the same thing in the s2 gifs I have seen that I can only say he’s just like ??? the whole time and just chooses not to address it, especially bc it happens both with a family member AND an enemy and he doesn’t react either time)

To be fair, they all baby Five to an extent, but it looks different for each of them

Andy doesn’t know what to do with a child? She hasn’t really,, been around children for extended periods of time honestly, she’s used to saving kids and is honestly pretty good at awkwardly talking Five through panic attacks. But she’s kind of tough love, and would probably cheer Five up by giving him weapons and letting him blow stuff up tbh

Nicky and Joe are kind of like fun uncles? they tease Five a lot, and he can’t even argue with them because they’re both like 900 years older than him but also they are very emotional and touchy and they like to ruffle his hair and lean on him and give him hugs that pick him up and swing him around. It’s weird and he isn’t sure if he likes it, but it’s kind of nice to be included?? They never had kids so they’re kind of indulgent with him tbh, kids like taking down horrific time based organizations as a pass time right?

Booker is awkward because he is a father and so he does things like ruffle Five’s hair on autopilot or pile more food on Five’s plate or anything, and he freezes because - it’s something he did with his own kids, and,,,,, he might get more than a little emotional about it. which weirds Five out. Booker is definitely one of the more protective of them though and dislikes putting Five in the line of fire

Nile has Big Sister energy, despite being younger than literally anyone else in this au technically considering that the umbrella academy are 3 years older than her. She has what is vastly lacking: emotional maturity. She sort of adopts Five as a kid brother, which makes her nostalgic for her own brother but also Five is so different it’s not a big issue, but Nile used to babysit for money as well and knows how to handle difficult kids and just applies that to Five

(and it actually works more often than not, five is not immune to Nile’s impeccable logic - mainly because Nile doesn’t order Five she lays out her reasoning in a way that he can’t even argue with)

booker has issues, he has a LOT of issues especially regarding kids and stepping into a fatherly role that I’m not sure he would comfortable with for a long time... but he has a lot of time to wrestle with those issues and eventually step into a more parental role since they have... literally hundreds of years together in the future lmao

five has to learn to actually be a child and not just a child soldier, which isn’t exactly easy considering he’s now going to part of the immortal ‘army’ 

honestly i think a good healing part of this au is just... the og squad learning that surviving isn’t the same as living, and even though they still have to be careful about their footprints even with Copley erasing them... I think they have a lot to learn about living

and having normal human ‘sponsors’ to help out... well I mean - the Hargreeves are super wealthy now that their dad kicked the bucket and are probably very willing to go on camping trips or go to Disney World or drag the squad paintballing. When was the last time the og squad just had fun? no worrying about missions and saving people or saving each other, just pure silly nonsense fun

and the Hargreeves are learning to have fun for the first time as well, even if it means Klaus aggressively putting Mickey Mouse ears on everyone and Diego cheating at paintball and Nile teaming up with Allison to get everyone to go to various plays and musicals

the Hargreeves aren’t immortal but they also aren’t helpless either, and I could see them tagging along on any cool missions for a while. Especially Diego, tbh, with his discount batman schtick he has going on

(honestly if anyone would remind Booker of his kids, it would... probably be Klaus? His children were adults when they died, and he saw them dying, and Klaus is skinny as a rail and sickly looking and probably has health issues thanks to the extended drug use and withdrawal going on

so consider: Booker telling Klaus to sit down and let him cook, get some soup in that boy he’s way too skinny, booker is FRENCH he WILL cook for this beanpole. His mama’s stew could knock the plague right out of a person, probably. 

Booker: that is far too heavy for you let me take it

Klaus: oh! no dude it’s fine - 

Booker: sit down !! you look like a strong breeze could knock you over. I will bring you some soup.

Klaus: I’m fine !! Don’t worry about me - 

Diego: don’t listen to him!! he absolutely needs minding 24/7 or he WILL find a way to get hurt

Booker: !! are you hurting right now? Sit down! Honestly -devolves into muttered french curses as he bustles off to the kitchen-)

but yes there you go the og squad and umbella academy combine into the ULTIMATE FAMILY due to shared custody of Five for the duration of the academy’s lives

[sillyguyhotline]

Shin and Joe for that character ask maybe?

i’m gonna answer these in 2 separate posts bc i have work to do tonight so i can’t get to both of them rn and also i end up making these rly long 

Shin

Why I Like Him-

I like him for a lot of reasons!! Primarily, though, he’s one of the most sympathetic characters in the game, and I’ve always loved that (at least by the end of 2-2) his motivations are distinctly outlined. He’s such a wild card for most of the game that when we find out what makes him tick (and when we learn that his actions are borne from weakness and fear), it makes so much sense!! He’s a weak person who has been abused his entire life and the compassion and kindness he used to harbor were always used against him. It makes sense, then, that after suffering so much abuse at others’ hands that when told he has no chance of survival he automatically isolates himself from everyone else. Ironically enough, that trust that he chose to forsake could’ve been what got him out alive.

Why I Don’t-

There aren’t a lot of things I dislike about Shin, but one of the things that’s frustrated me is the countless times his paranoia of Sara has gotten the best of him and ruined what could’ve been a fantastic alliance or even friendship. Like I said, his paranoia is understandable, but GODDAMNIT SHIN JUST TRUST HER FOR ONCE!! I’m still frustrated by the scene where he assumes that Sara is trying to trick Kanna with the smartphone, though I’m glad it worked out well in the end.

Favorite Scene-

Definitely gotta be a scene from the 2nd Main Game, either the one where he agrees to to work with us to expose Gashu’s transgression (as sad as it turns out to be, it was wonderful seeing him so hopeful and eager to work with us) or his argument with Kanna where you realize how much he really cares for her. Greenblings has my heart.

Favorite Line:

I probably won’t have any actual quotes, so this is from my (pretty shitty) memory, but the line that I really enjoyed was the one right after he successfully hacks the system and you offer to high five him and he agrees, then goes back to being all sullen like “why are you so chipper miss sara” ,,,I found that scene really funny and even a little endearing.

OTP:

Keishin :)) love how much potential they’d have for mutual growth!!

Brotp:

GREENBLINGS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I don’t think I need to explain why I love them so much.

Headcanon:

I’ve said this before, but he is definitely a 4chan user. He just gives me that vibe.

Unpopular Opinion:

Stop comparing him to Kokichi!!! I’m, like,,,vehemently insistent on this, but the amount of times I’ve seen the two of them being compared to each other is infuriating considering how different they are in character and motivation. Also, I really wish people would stop portraying him as the “uwu gay boy” archetype, particularly in their portrayal of him in mlm ships. It’s just… stop that.

A Wish-

I’m not sure if this counts, but I really want to be sure that his presence is felt in the Kanna route! Whether this be for good, with Kanna deriving encouragement from his memory, or bad, with it turning out that he was key to our escape or something of the sort. I’m really happy with how his character concluded in this path, but he’s so central to the story that I want him to retain his importance.

An Oh-God-Please-Don’t-Ever-Happen-

Hmm… alright, I don’t think this is likely to happen, but I don’t want Nankidai to give him a determinant death before the end or cut off his character arc in the Shin route. If he’s alive, I want him to go absolutely insane and I want his ending to be memorable.

5 Words to Describe Him- 

Comically weak, paranoid little man

Nicknames-

I internally think of him as “beanie bitch,” “loser man,” or “That Twink” bc I love bullying him lmao

[frostygar]

The Flash S5 Ep7 Thoughts

- Oh, so his daughter was his niece… okay

- OMG THIS IS THE CUTE PIE MAKING GIF I’VE SEEN IT’S MUCH BETTER SEEING IT FOR MYSELF UGH THE DOMESTICITY!!!!! The amount of chemistry in this one tiny scenes tells all as to who Barry should be with (and who he’d be happier with) I just have to point that out.

- Killer Frost joining in we love an ice queen

- NORA!!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO APOLOGIZE!!!!!! FOR NOT LIKING YOUR MOTHER!!!!!!! WHO LITERALLY ABUSED YOU!!!!!! Their relationship could actually be cute if it wasn’t forced, and shoved down our throats. 

- Not Iris telling Nora about when Barry went into the speed force as if at the end of it she didn’t want him to come back… What’s even more annoying about this whole thing is that Nora came back to get to know her DAD who went missing when she was young but they’re SO fucking focused on making Iris the angel she isn’t, Nora isn’t really hanging with her father anymore and that’s just so fucking dumb?? This was about Nora and Barry, not Nora and Iris. It was so refreshing and different from how other shows are but noooo gotta cater to Iris because she’s the main annoying bitch placed on a pedestal!!!

- However the background cute Snowbarry? Love it

- Grace is so adorable :(( And he didn’t want her at first? That’s interesting.

- Wait… Sherloque had seven marriages but five wives…………. does that mean that two were men? No one decided to tell me that Sherloque was LGBT?? I’ve been iffy with him for being extra and shit I—

- “Something doesn’t feel right” “Just listen to Iris!” NO NORA LISTEN TO YOUR GUT IGNORE YOUR DAD

- Hold awn… Barry gets struck by lightning… and it stops his heart??? Tell me how the FUCK that make sense if he got his powers BECAUSE of lightning.

- Poor Nora she has to fucking save her dad like five times since she got here like holy fuck

- I mean I knew Barry wasn’t going to die because he’s the main superhero and shit and there’s more seasons but like that was actually really interesting to have him die in a random episode because other shows do it at the end of the season so they worry for months until the next season comes out only for them to be (usually) okay. It almost… made it more worrying.

- “Maybe someone else should be making our decisions” I mean, yes, but thinking about it from a superhero’s perspective: save the many with sacrifice. HOWEVER Nora has come back because her dad is missing and losing him like that right before her eyes would be absolutely horrifying and I can see why she’s being like this. Although I just KNOW that someone’s going to manipulate her into thinking that her reaction was wrong/over the top and then it’ll be swept under the rug or something because that’s happened for the last 6 episodes with Nora whenever she had valid thoughts and actions

- Barry actually realizing that she’s freaked out from having to bring him back, umm yes! Iris slightly jokingly only caring about her bonding with Nora…… 🙄

- Sherloque you didn’t have to go that hard damn

- GRACE CALLED A KID A RAT BASTARD? WHAT A FUCKING LEGEND. “I hate you, and you hate you too!” WELL DAMN GRACE SPITTING TRUTH OVER HERE OKAY

- “Anything for our friends in the press.” Wow the writers REALLY want you to remember that they’re finally giving us what we want (Iris to be a reporter, albeit less involved with Team Flash shit but) and to be grateful. Jesus.

- Barry automatically assuming she only blames Iris, but realizing that she is aware that he agreed to the plan that got him killed, too.  Omg that was amazing. Why can’t Barry realize that she’s their daughter, and of course she’s not going to want him to get hurt because he’s her dad??

- Joss is cute, and OMG that’s his daughter 👀 okay

-  LMAO BARRY USING A HIGHER VOICE TO VOICE JOSS I MISS THIS JOKING KING

- They’re using Weather Wizard to tell Barry that shit happens and sometimes mothers and daughter’s just don’t want to get along? Finally, but it’ll probably be ignored and he’ll be annoyingly adamant in making them get along

- It’s cute that Cicada is truly trying to be a good parent for Grace :(

- Nora’s not upset with Iris? BUT TWO SECONDS AGO SHE WAS—you know what never mind I’m just not gonna question why everything is suddenly okay. I’m just sad that the one time Iris was actually going to apologize for her actions and Nora cut her off how rude 

- Cisco everyone knows why Thanksgiving is actually awful. People just like it for the food… 

- Iris did a good hologram ngl however I’m wondering how the flying fuck weather witch got a fucking car to fly…?

-  FINALLY NORA TELLS BARRY OFF

- “It’s not easy having a parent who puts their life on the line for others. I remember feeling the same way about Joe being a cop when I was a kid.” That is for all of the westallen’s who don’t believe that Joe adopted Barry and westallen is legit incest <3

- Nora so desperate to have her father that she argues that he should stop being the flash awwww bby 😭😭

- “I need my dad” OH BITCH THE HEARTBREAK

- You know you have a good villain when you sympathize with them 🥺🥺

- NORA TELLING BARRY TO RUN AND DO WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO A BITCH IS SOBBING RIGHT NOW.

- KILLER FROST OMG THE QUEEN IS HERE!! GOD WE STANNNNNNN

- BARRY SPITTING HIS DRIRNK BACK INTO HIS GLASS LMAOOO

- I love these sweet Barry and Nora moments 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

- First off, how would it be cicada’s fault (yes if you couldn’t tell I forgot his name so I’m using his other name) for what happened to Gracie, second of all, IT WAS THE FUCKING NURSE WHO TURNED HIM ONTO METAS THAT BITCH.. I mean I understand her concern but like don’t pretend there’s not meta humans who literally do good???

- Cicada has to be one of my favorite villains because you can sympathize with him. Also finally now they know who Ciacada is dhsfkjfasjf

- Overall I liked this episode. I was afraid too watch it because normally after having random, amazing episodes, shows tend to go right back to their bullshit (although it wasn’t as bad thankfully) but I’m glad I got myself to watch it because this was a great episode.

[cotangentspace]

【self discovery, and so forth】

r: not to be too quick to explore the meta—

V: Which is explicitly the purpose of many, if not all of us.

r: — yeah, but i think it’s worth observing the distinct patterns that can be noted in light of... the manifestation of the hereto forth named arcatheon.

V: I was already named Arcatheon before hereto.

V: Sorry, the concept of Arcatheon was already named.

r: yeah i think you’ll forgive my lack of congeniality. i don’t know you and i don’t know that it’s worth my time to know you.

V: Of course. I have been privy to this mindset prior to my own definition of personhood.

r: yeah yeah yeah. you’re a blank slate —

V: Until manifested further, et cetera. Carry on with the established topic.

r: recurring themes.

V: Desire for involvement in academia —

r: i would argue that its scholarly thought, specifically.

V: Taken.

W: I’m just noticing the lack of pronouns in the list. Are we saying this is Roman or the CPU.

r: well, initially i believe we were assuming me? but i guess it would be the cpu manifesting and observed through me

V: Noted.

V: Desire for involvement in scholarly thought and discussion, desire for general learning and participation of the practice of studying, interest in English literature (as opposed to other venues of learning such as scientific journals or artistic pursuits). Behaviourally, the act of starting a new record (often a dedicated blog) of a current subject of interest to note down thoughts on the subject, which is quickly abandoned.

r: specifically because the subject is abandoned lol. not just the blog

r: so i suppose it’d be fair to state that a current unspoken (haha) goal is the practice of finishing any... defined segment of learning that is started. whatever class or course or project that’s begun, like in this case, each book that is started.

V: And I hate to be he who touts the lamentable, but you’ve already pledged yourself to six books, with a running record of zero completed in the prior six or seven years.

r: untrue.

r: i finished fun house

W: Cue rousing applause

V: Well, I think some credit should be due. I don’t think the accomplishment of finishing a book after such a strained record should be disregarded due to it’s being a graphic novel. I respect Bechdel’s writing quite highly, and I know you both do as well.

r: oh we do, and let’s all take a second to remember that warner and i are both artists (some formerly) and thus inclined to value graphic novels more than your average joe so to be fair, if fun home were a non-illustrated novel, i wouldn’t’ve finished it

r: we all know this

r: i really was joking, warner was just responding in kind.

V: Yeah. I knew that, and yet I chose to stagger on forward.

V: I suppose that reveals an unsavory part of my being, a slow wit.

r: no, i think more a quick defense.

r: defense of others, which is what differs from my and warner’s approach.

W: Yeah, I’ll defend myself.

r: yeah because no one else will

W: I wouldn’t either

r: anyway, i think what’s to note is that your immediate response was to encourage me, despite the meager and arguable ‘accomplishment’ stated

r: ... and further i am reading your telepathic correction of deprecating language to the more neutral ‘an accomplishment’ loud and clear

r: corr: “to encourage me, through congratulating the accomplishment stated.” (..., which can be interpreted subjectively as either meager or venerable by the listener)

V: Even I would not go so far as to say venerable.

V: Don’t worry.

W: Thank God

V: But yes. I feel it unwise to default to a pessimistic view when one already struggles with achievement.

r: gaining or accepting

V: Both, though the former is more relevant than the the later.

V, gestureing to self: Obviously.

r, switching subjects: do you ever think we lack clarity.

V: Of course. You feel a need to maintain a shrouded esotericism, which is easily upheld by simply never explaining yourself fully.

V: For that would be to be vulnerable. Thus, a lack of clarity doubles as a point of exclusivity (and consequently pride, which you are often in the market for) and personal protection. The act of performing for a crowd but never answering their questions, so as to excuse the play’s inadequacies as misunderstandings by the critic.

r: too direct

V: No, we do not lack clarity we are always bald and forthright, and it is because you are so noble of character.

r: better

W: Boooo.

r: thank you for the aside. we were talking about something earlier

V: Recurring themes.

r: ah, yeah. what’s to be made of them, watson.

V: Is that a real inquiry?

r: make of it as you will

W: Wow.

V: Understood.

W, cynically: You really are patient.

V: What’s to be accomplished of mocking me? [genuine question]

W, on his Gameboy: Well, hopefully you’ll just die like everyone else.

r: LMAO

r: warner and i are just marginally less patient, at least in avenues where we can get away with it without disturbing social relationships. for instance, since we’re all metaphysical, there’s no consequence for you to tell me to fuck off for clearly trying to analyze your interpretation of the question in addition to your response. that’s what we would probably do.

r: and i think he’s just tired of new alters?

W: I’m just tired.

r: fair

V: Fair.

V: To my understanding, the current model is that the CPU has certain recurring priorities that can be visualized as underlying subconscious personae, such as that which is interested in producing visual art, that which seeks out self-sabotage, that which desires to gain knowledge, etc, which represent themselves through different conscious personae of variable reliance.

V: Most notably, alters designated as... ‘Hounds’, being the conscious ‘faces’ of the underlying persona currently named ‘II’, with lesser examples such as Joviel Tsao and Tevya Rockatansky being of the same enthusiastic persona, and Avetoir Cortehessey and Xiaozitang Thesēly belonging to the family of feminine, flamboyant figures.

V: The older you grow, and the more you observe the way the CPU expresses itself, the more narrowly and with confidence you are able to label these subconscious parts. Alters such as Thomas Zhou (née Kent), Taylor Cortehessey, Gibson Shou, Syracuse Delaney, and Typhus Yang have previously represented an interest in scholarly thought and/or the practice of learning.

V: Recently you have chosen to ascribe roles to ‘new’ alters based on the assumption that they are remixed presentations of existing personae, regarding them not as new, but as previously poorly defined, as in the case of Nienthe Agate, Victoria Lane, and Silas Bauer (names still nonpermanent).

V: Time allows each part to accrue traits that solidify them as whole persons rather than representations of ideas, and often this is what allows a conscious part to retain its conscious identity. This is also what aids in cementing the subconscious role they represent (e.g. for example, an interest in learning will seem to automatically be paired with pride or quietness). What’s left for me is to see whether or I stay or leave, and if I stay, what other traits I keep or acquire, in order to better define the subconscious part I theoretically represent.

V: Separately, you experience a recurring need to take hold of an interest and document your otherwise unsalable thoughts on it through, often, blogging.

V: I think that’s just ADD.

W: Lol. Tell it like it is.

V: I live to please.

V: Seriously, though. I think it’s largely in part due to your lack of stimulation, socially and academically. I believe you never finish any project begun because you aren’t truly interested in dedicating yourself to anything for any reason more sustainable than the pride of sharing that you have learned something few others in your demographic have.

r: i understand that the CPU (and probably i, to a notable degree) encourage conversational partners to develop insights into the self

r: which is usually me

r: but i think the cpu also has a habit of being right on the nose when unhibited by ‘being’ a singular character, like just me, for instance

r: and i hate it thanks

r: don’t ever answer a question i ask again

r: also this is way late and i know it’s just because you don’t know which is the more appropriate name to refer to him by in this context at this point in time but the fact that you referred to thomas’s surname as ‘née Kent’ is fucking hilarious. anyway i’m tired so here’s where we leave off.

【CHANNEL CLOSED】

[haleyjames]

I just want to start by saying I consider myself completely neutral in this entire situation. I believe everyone's feelings and accounts of their experience are valid. I've not had bad experiences to the extent this blog often talks about, but I've been in groups and felt excluded by the "usual suspects" to the point where it's affected my mental health. I honestly don't think I have ever had a tight-knit bond with anyone in the rpc because I'm reclusive by nature. I try not to invest any time or emotion into anything but my characters, but even I struggle with that sometimes; I understand how emotions can be heightened and feeling can be hurt. So when I say I'm neutral, please believe that comes from a genuine and compassionate place. I'm honestly really disturbed and triggered by the level of anger and hatred on this blog (and I cringe to use this term with its real-word connotations...) on both sides. It feels so reflective of today's political climate, with everyone being fully entrenched in their own viewpoints and not even being open to acknowledging people of opposing opinions. For example, Chelsea (who I've had problems with in the past, admittedly) made some valid points I think it might be valuable to even just consider, but you've seemed to dismiss it out of hand (even just by humor, which is a powerful tool not to be underestimated). Yes, her delivery was maybe not as diplomatic as it could be, but there are seeds in there that I think deserve sowing, and I'm disheartened that you didn't give it any serious consideration. Again, I think at its core, your intentions are incredibly noble, but we all live in a society now where everything is of extremes. Things get away from us even without us realizing. For example, I would send this off anonymous, but it could take on a life of it's own and I'm terrified of everyone's reaction - yours included. That in being neutral, people will automatically assume I'm on the opposing side. I'm not. Hurt has been done and deserves to be healed. But please, please, please - for your own sake more than anything - make sure it is healed productively, in a way that doesn't spread or prolong hate.

If I can end this incredibly earnest message with a borderline joke, please let it be that I am trying to be the Joe Biden of the rpc - certainly not the best we can do, but a step in the right direction with an urging to turn the temperature down so cooler heads can actually attempt to fix our problems.

Thank you so much for reading this.

Hi, anon! Thank you for the thoughtful message. I have a few questions though, if that’s okay! What does your definition of “neutral” mean to you and what does it look like? Can you expand on that some more for me please, so I can be clear as to what you mean before I properly respond?

And also, what were the points that Chelsea made that you thought had merit? Which parts? Copy/paste is fine, if you can be bothered and have the time! After the subsequent conversations I had with her littered over mine and Beth’s blogs, I find her statement even less compelling. So I would love to hear from you and what your thoughts are/what you meant when you said it in this ask!

BUT!! If you are triggered and disturbed by my anger, please don’t feel like you need to follow me or look at my blog, or even reply to this/send another message. Block me! And I mean that seriously and with genuine concern. I don’t HATE any of the people on this website. I hate my father and my brother okay lmao it’s not the same level. Am I angry? Yes! Hell yes I am! And I believe my anger is valid. From reading the start of your message, it seems like you believe that, too! So if my anger is too much for you to read or take in, that’s fine! But please don’t follow this blog then. I will not be toning down my anger or my feelings about this, so please don’t follow me/please block me if that is triggering and disturbing for you to have to see/read!
