See I don't really believe there are any broader like. Schema of gender in Homestuck in that makes sense. Including Callie's OG gendering of classes but most others don't have a solid "reason" to them. Breath players tend to lean towards transfeminine to me but that doesn't feel like it's because of Breath and so on and so forth.
Basically the only two principles of gender determination in Homestuck I actually abide by are:
Trans characters can be partially determined in certain cases by examine their relationships to other close characters, forming something like a binary (or more) system. Transmasculine Dirk v. Transfeminine Roxy, Femme Transfeminine Gay Jake English v. Butch Transmasc Lesbian Jane Crocker, my Davepeta+ Gender Chart etc. Characters in Homestuck often model themselves in relation to their friends as we do irl.
Space is nigh-exclusively a transfeminine aspect in Homestuck itself. The job of a Space player is to seize and create their own means of creation and species-level reproduction, usually after being deprived of traditional means of womanhood, motherhood, and reproduction.
#literally think about space players all the time and how each of them is deprived of this 'normal' experience of motherhood#kanaya is raised totally separately from every other jadeblood on the planet and her means of resurrecting her species is destroyed#at the moment she is shot in the abdomen#i mean you can't say 'THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR MISCARRIAGE' any louder than that#jade in the epilogues being unable to carry a child because. i mean she has a dick. she's a trans woman. kind of irrefutable#calliope as she stands can never mature into a cherub even capable of reproduction#left with an incomplete predomination at the cost of getting to live again#and we don't get as much from porrim but from what we do know#her righteous indignation and rebellion against the society that told her that her caste and gender meant she would forever serve#as nurturer and reproducer#that she later took a different perspective on once that was no longer available to her... yeah.

I live for when these unexpected little things happen. Okay, so I forget to loop the song I had picked to listen to on Youtube, and it ends up auto-playing to a live performance of a song. So I peek over, and I see the outfit that she's wearing. High-waist trousers, and that shirt, mostly tucked in as it is, with its sleeves rolled up just like that? It's a bit of that old-school romantic aesthetic, it exudes a certain old-fashioned femininity, it's quite timeless in its simplicity, and classy despite a rather relaxed fit. This is something that I see Kafka wearing during her downtime, and especially within the comforts of the Stellaron Hunter HQ/complex, and exactly in that color-scheme as well: darker in the legs, lighter in the upper body. It's simple, there might be the ever-enduring presence of that single earring (pearl), a thin bracelet at most but even that I'm hesitant about, and while she'd be void of any sort of necklace, you could smell the fragrance of that signature Black Opium as always.
#[ mini study. ] she must have sought something extraordinary. everything she does comes at a great cost.#[ old-fashioned. /old-fashioned/. it's that kind of allure. ]#[ that's what i see. ]#[ because while it's 'dressed down'-- it's not really... /dressed down/ if that makes sense. ]#[ there's still something quite fancy to it; but in a much simpler way. and a loose-hanging fit like that? it has that romantic air to it.#[ it's perfect. ]#[ i'm forever in love with her shirt in her default outfit; it's also a perfectly chosen color. so i want to be consistent. ]#[ i don't envision her in /colors/ exactly; sticking to those fancier neutral tones. but this just stood out to me as i opened the tab. ]#[ and saw it. it was a gut instinct reaction; no thought behind it. it just clicked. ]#[ perhaps slightly inspired by the jepella rebellion outfit. it's fine. ]

Finished my rewatch of Madoka Magica + Rebellion, and God.... I am so not normal about Madohomu. The way their fates are inherently intertwined with each other, the way their actions directly influence what choices they end up making, the way they both sacrifice themselves for one another... They are in my brain constantly.
The fact that it's Homura's countless attempts at saving her and suffering for her sake, that gives Madoka the courage and motivation to make the ultimate sacrifice and become a God. Homura's sacrifice for Madoka's sake pushing her to do the same with no hesitation or fear. While she spent the entire series being too hesitant and scared to do the right thing, at least in her own perspective. But Homura gives her the resolve and strength to do what's right, no matter how scary it is. Madoka is not scared anymore, now that she knows how much terror Homura went through despite how scared and hurt she was. If Homura can do so much for her sake, she can do this for her in return.
The fact that it's Madoka's unknowing confession to how much that choice of sacrifice has cost her, that pushes Homura to reject God Madoka's wish. Homura is willing to bear any suffering, as long as her beloved Madoka is happy. She was suffering in silence for so long in this new world, having to live in a reality without Madoka as she knew her. With nothing but her memories to be her comfort and her curse. But she pushed herself to go on for Madoka. As she always did. It's only when she learns of Madoka's true feelings in her labyrinth, does she gain the resolve to rebell against it all. To reject it. To do what's right. To ensure Madoka's happiness.
All of the choices they made that moved the narrative along was... for each other. And it's so incredibly tragic, because every single action they took shows how much they do love and care for each other. Even in different timelines, with different memories, in different worlds. They are connected. But their love became their downfall.
Madoka sacrificed her own happiness and life to ensure that everyone else - especially Homura - gets the life of peace and happiness they deserve. But it's a life she cannot experience, nor remember in her god-hood. Homura ended up betraying the wishes of the one she loves, accepting the fact that Madoka will hate her one day. She's not happy in the world she created as a demon. But it's a world where she knows Madoka has everything she wants. And that's good enough for her.
CAN YOU TELL HOW INSANE I AM ABOUT THEM
Can't wait for the upcoming movie, my god
#mia babbles#I LOVE TRAGEDIES#i needed to get this out of my system#because i am going insane#love as a neutral force that can bring both good and bad is my bread and butter#and no i do not view as madoka OR homura in the right#that's the tragedy of it all#madoka is not right for choosing to throw herself away for the sake of others#there are countless hints in the narrative that this choice has cost her greatly#and i mean.... she says it outright. that madoka in the flower field was real. just without her memories#which is tragic in and of itself#and homura is not right for ignoring madoka's own wants and wishes#and she's not happy by that choice either#she is MISERABLE in the end of rebellion. girl is barely holding it together#i mean she literally calls herself the devil come on#homura hates herself#they are both suffering for the other's sake#because they love each other so much they are willing to suffer for their sake#DO YOU SEE#THEIR LOVE IS THE FORCE THAT GIVES THEM STRENGTH BUT IT BRINGS THEM PAIN ALL THE SAME#GRRRAAH

Atrocities happening to innocents that are a part of the oppressor state or group, is still the fault of the oppressor, not the oppressed for using the same tactics in their defense.
#palestine#current events#there was another post earlier talking about people living in imperialist settler countries (i.e. america) can't recognize the violence#done by a fellow imperialist settler against the native population because it calls up their own hypocrisy and#makes them afraid of the possibility of the same thing happening in their own country#so they bend over backwards to overlook and justify violence in anti-colonialist rebellion#and it really do be like that#israel has been killing palestinian civilians for 60 years and the world turned a blind eye#hamas is absolutely awful sure but are we to pretend like america's hands are any cleaner?#not trying to start anything#but damn#since i'm getting some replies to this i'll just add: violence exists in context#you can't look at the situation happening today without examining what transpired before#where did the violence begin#what factors contributed to this explosive reaction#how many people have died before today#et cetera#there's that one graph going around comparing the human costs from both sides#you know the one#the violence of the colonized stems from the violence of their subjugation#or something#resistance to occupation and colonization is always justified

the thing about me is that I have this need to pick up every angel on supernatural by their scruff and place them into an enclosure that will allow them to, if not heal and become better, than at least to be petty and vindictive in a way that causes less death and destruction and is just kind of annoying. which I would argue is also good for them. let angels make choices where the consequences of their actions are non-existent rather than world-ending. teaches them free will in a safe, healthy way.
#this is still about Zachariah to be clear#itâs about all of them. Iâm putting them all in such nice enclosures. with so much enrichment#but mostly this is about Zachariah. just kind of want to put him in an actual office and watch him whirr away. maybe he prints things.#stands at a water cooler and makes awkward small talk.#I donât know what happens in offices. what do I look like. I donât think he does either really. he just likes the aesthetic#heâs constantly cosplaying and it makes all the other angels slightly uncomfortable like. Okay Zach We Get It. This Is Your Businessman OC.#Can We Please Go Back To Talking About How To Stop Castiel From Breaking Containment For The Fifth Time This Month.#(my integration of old and new angel rebellion canon is per s5 all angels have the capacity to rebel. and many do. often. and are punished#for it. and also per s8 Cas just does it the most because he is so sooo annoying <3#also maybe because a combination of factors like. Anna is his boss for a lot of that time and she goes lighter on the reprogramming because#sheâs already having doubts. and then also heâs paired with Uriel always. they make each other question things. but they also work#too well together for Heaven to separate them. the cost isnât so high (yet) just toss them in the brain cleaner after each assignment#and theyâre still useful.)#sorry this was supposed to be about Zachariah.#his enclosure has fax machines in it. he likes them. you know. the same way most angels like radio towers. he *likes* them.#spn#Zachariah spn

#i want to be forever gentle.#gentleness but as an act of rebellion#it doesn't cost me anything to be soft and tender and careful to living creatures#even if sometimes i still struggle with it#even if sometimes i still lash out or rage against something or someone#the instant i'm overcome by this immense gentleness#i just go oh#and realize how soft and beautiful the world and the universe really are#how precious people are#how fragile they are#and i think to myself#i really must be tender#it takes such an amount of courage to be it though#to go past the dismissal of little and mundane things#and realize just how incredible everything on this earth is#just how we can touch and change and interact with others' lives through tenderness#through gentleness#and to me this apply to every living creature not just humans#it's like realizing that perhaps this is my first life on this earth#and how endearing everything is#how endearing is to go through daily life with awareness and think that perhaps this is my first time experiencing something#and even if this isn't my first life#as i don't consciously have memories of my past ones i just go about it as if this was my first time#anyways!...

Thank god for Andor, finally new Star Wars media that is blatantly anti fascist and explores those ideas so so well but also shows the grey areas and faults of the rebellion without falling into the âwell maybe the empire actually was the good guys đ€â mantra
#btw when I say faults of the rebellion I more mean the people in the rebellion like Luthen and the decisions and choices he grapples with#and makes#mon mothma as well#having to constantly weigh the costs and cast aside your humanity for the greater good#star wars#andor#Star Wars andor#andor spoilers

sometimes i think about what my favorite books have been throughout my life and like. i feel like there's a definite thematic throughline from tamora pierce's Trickster books (fave as of approx. age 12) to the Masquerade series
#obvs very different books but like#theyre both broadly about colonialism and rebellion and the costs and difficult choices involved therein

Knowing
I have just had the worst, or best, brainwave and I need to share it.Â
Here is an AU for you.
Vader thinks that he killed his wife and child, right?
Right up until he meets little Leia Organa when she is 10 years old. Like his one brain cell woke the fuck up when he was confronted with a passionate, angry little girl with Padmeâs eyes and his chin. This is maybe a month after she was kidnapped and returned to Alderaan. Leia decides that she would need to learn how to be a senator and insists that Bail takes her with him to the next session of the imperial senate. Â
Bail does not want to bring her to the imperial senate. However he knows very well who her birth parents were, it is either Bail brings Leia to the Imperial Senate or Leia brings Leia to the Imperial Senate, probably bringing with her someone she really shouldnât (Like actual Obi Wan Kenobi-I just want you to picture for a moment, because Bail certainly did, looking up and realizing that Leia is charging down the halls outside his office, dragging with her a bemused and sandy Obi Wan, both in badly conceived disguises).
Bail is super stressed as he tries to run a rebellion while riding herd on his well meaning but very direct 10 year old daughter on top of his normal duties as an imperial senator. Bail is also very afraid that the moment the Emperor sees Leia, he will make the connection between Leia and Padme Amidala (The emperor does not socialize with the senate any longer, thank the stars). He has no idea that Vader was once Anakin Skywalker, so has no cause to be more careful than normal (because Vader) about Vader seeing Leia. As such Bail does not even notice when Vader stops to consider them from the shadows. Leia is haranguing another planetâs senatorial aide who had chosen the wrong moment to make a bigoted joke.Â
Vader is very abruptly, though mentally, thrown back to this very hallway 12 years earlier where he watched his wife do the same thing, for the same reason, possibly to this same aide. Though Leia is still a child and Padme was an adult, he can still see his wife in this little girl.
The realization that this is Padmeâs child hits him with the force of a Ventanor. Followed immediately, before he even realized that this meant that his child was standing in front of him, by the soul deep knowledge that she must be protected from the Emperor at all costs.Â
Vader had known for years that his suit had been designed to cause him more pain, he just thought he deserved it. The thought of Palpatine getting ahold of Padmeâs daughter was abhorrent. Vader sticks to the shadows and watches, seeing how well Bail loved and protected Leia.Â
While he is thinking(read Obsessing) about his daughter, the part of him that is always centered on Obi Wan points out that his old master had been one of the last people to see Padme after Vader choked her. But the little voice that spoke in Padmeâs tones piped up, the shock of Leia living being enough to finally make this little voice loud enough to be heard, saying that until recently Obi Wan believed that Anakin Skywalker was all the way dead, he was protecting their child as best as he knew how.Â
And Vader has issues with just about every choice Obi Wan Kenobi ever made. But he will admit that hiding Padmeâs daughter was the best option.Â
As Vader knows that paying too much attention to Leia would draw the Emperorâs attention, he would be willing to wait until the right moment to get his daughter back. His one concession to his need to protect her was taking one of his personal guard, one of the few units still made up almost entirely of clones, and assigning them to be Leia Organaâs bodyguard, her shadow (I also want you to take a moment to consider what that did for Bailâs stress level). And then Vader gets to planning.Â
With his one brain cell awake and focused on the Organaâs it takes Vader all of 15 minutes to realize that Bail Organa is running the Rebellion (I want it to be clear, this is not a slight on Bail at all, Anakin Skywalker was a war general, well educated through the Jedi on a number of subjects, and does have a fair measure of politics learning from both his former master and his dead wife). However Vader is no more loyal to the Empire than Anakin was to the Republic. In fact, upon realizing that Padmeâs daughter had lived Vader firmly decided that he needed to find a way to kill Palpatine to crown Leia. With the realization that Bail, and likely Leia (neither Vader nor Anakin have any idea what activities are appropriate for a 10 year old), are part of the Rebellion, Vader decides that The Rebellion would succeed (or everyone would die trying).Â
Note: Vader only really gets away with no one realizing that he now supported the Rebellion because, well, no one can quite believe that Darth Vader supports the Rebellion. Most people think there is a new type of Space Madness, and that one of the symptoms is hallucinating Darth Vader giving you intel for the Rebellion.
By the time Leia was a teenager, rumors abound about the odd way that Vader acted around her. By sheer happenstance (and some judicial violence on Vaderâs part) these rumors had never reached the Emperor. A good deal of these rumors implied that Vader was looking to the Princess of Alderaan as a wife. The reaction Vader had, the only time it was brought up in front of him, wasâŠimpressive, even for the amount of violence he normally dealt out. Still there are members of Vaderâs personal guard who watch over Leia whenever she is on Imperial Center, and no one wants to repeat the time when she was 12 when one of Bail enemies tried to kidnap her for ransom. It took an entire corps of engineers to put those levels back to rights (after they scrubbed the blood off). Â
So we get all the way up to the timeframe of ANH. The Death Star in this does not start out under the control of Darth Vader. It starts out under the control of Tarkin, it is important to note this. Leia still sends out R2D2 and C3P0 to find Obi Wan Kenobi, none of that part changes.Â
It is after Leia is captured that Darth Vader shows up (does he lurk silently in any system that Leia is due to be in as often as he can get away withâŠwhy yes, yes he does). Tarkin had wanted Leia tortured, however no one wanted to find out how many decks Vader would spread their entrails across for touching her. Vader arrives on the bridge just as Tarkin is threatening to blow up Alderaan. Tarkin orders the weapon to begin its charge.Â
Leia, Leia who is so like her mother in that she will use every weapon in her arsenal, turns to Darth Vader and speaks to him for the first time. âPleaseâ she said, no effort to hide her distress, âplease save my planetâ
Something Leia had no cause to know-An angel who she resembled once thanked Anakin Skywalker for saving her planet.Â
Tarkin is dead almost before she finishes speaking. Vader orders the DS weapons to power down and disengage, which is done post haste. Then announces that Leia Organa was now in control.Â
So Leia now owns a Death Star (genuine article-never used). Leia is not sure if that is how this works, but no one is arguing with the tall man in black who has OPINIONS and will enforce them. Leia manages to communicate this to her parents, who take a shuttle up to the space station to figure out what the fuck is going on, and what, if anything, they need to do next.
Two hours later: Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, R2D2, C3P0, and Chewbacca have just been caught trying to sneak onto the Death Star. The Organas are still on board, trying to get answers (In that time Vader has said precisely five words to them âYou have raised her wellâ). It is to this room that the troopers manning the station (who are deeply confused and a bit conflicted because it seems like they may have all been forcibly defected from the Empire, but no one is willing to disobey Lord Vader) bring Obi Wan and co. and present them to Leia, as she is considered in command. Somehow Lukeâs full name (I kind of picture him still dumbly introducing himself to Leia, followed with âweâre here to rescue youâ) gets used before the situation deteriorates. Which naturally causes everything to deteriorate further and faster than before. Â
Far away on Imperial Center, the Emperor pauses in the middle of a hallway âI feelâ he says to no one âa disturbance in the Force.â another pause âlike some shit has just hit the fanâ
Far away on Dagobah Yoda looks up, âweird, shit just gotâ

well kept [5] r. cameron
[warnings] dark!ceo!rafe x reader, size difference, billionaire!older!rafe, shy!reader with low self-esteem, reader is a person who stutters, boss x personal assistant, heavy abuse of power, emotional/mental manipulation, little editing, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK 18+
A/N: even longer chapter :)
word count: 5.3k
In which Rafe presents you with his plan for your future and you question the true cost of his offer.
well kept masterlist
You breathed easy for the first time in a long while. You laughed, smiled, and your heart beat at a normal pace. You sipped your drink not from nervousness but from a desire to truly enjoy yourself. The evening was about fun and connection, and you were determined to embrace it.
The week following your cabin trip had been a deep pit of depression. Your friends, concerned by your obvious distress, had insisted you join them for the weekend. They only saw the stress of work weighing on you, Rafeâs hidden bruises were invisible to them. You had opted for jeans and a crop top, deliberately avoiding a dress that might reveal the lingering marks of his anger.Â
It was an act of rebellion to wear something Rafe hadnât picked out but it was freeing. It was time you accepted that he didnât own you 24/7, he had no right to you two days out of the week.
You bought your friends drinks, a part of the new perk that came with having salary. You liked treating them but every swipe of your card reminded you of all you were putting up with to get it.Â
What Rafe did to you, he did out of selfishness, no one who cared for you truly could treat you like he did. You certainly werenât a couple like everyone in Rafeâs close circle assumed you were. You didnât know much about relationships or what real love looked like, but you were certain of one thing: whatever you had with Rafe would never evolve into something warm and tender enough to be labeled as love. You were reclaiming some normalcy. Or at least, that was what you hoped for.Â
The three of you had decided to move the party back to your apartment at 2 AM, and the city lights flickered like stars in the darkened sky. Imani, with her arm securely interlocked with yours, clung to you, her presence both comforting and grounding amidst the nightâs chaos.
You squeezed into the backseat, chatter and laughter from the evening buzzed in your ears. Angel was making smalltalk with the driver because that was just the type of person she was. Closest to the window, you checked your phone for the first time all night. Three messages from Rafe. Your heart started to beat in the rattled way it had been, pressing against your ribcage in a way that made you feel like you couldnât breathe.Â
Two images of you. Outfits youâd sent him. Along with a message.Â
For Monday and Tuesday. - R.C.Â
Sent at ten the night before. Imani leaned closer and you locked your phone, shoving it between your legs.Â
âHeâs really texting you? Itâs Saturday.â
âSunday now,â You tried to not sound rattled as you met her eyes.
âLike that makes a difference,â You expected her tone to be light given the vodka on her breath and silly pop songs playing on the radio, âNo wonder youâre going crazy.â
âCrazy?â You laughed but it came out hollow, âY-You guys thought I was sad and now Iâm going crazy?â
âYes,â She spoke matter-of-factly, âAnd itâs strange that you wonât tell us anything about him.â
âI donât wanna talk about this,â You said, realizing she wasnât going to drop it. You wondered if this was her plan, to get you drunk and then pry out all the gossip about your new boss.
âIâm really worried, Y/N,â She said, âYou donât have to tell us everything but at least ⊠let us help. We can help, I promise.â
Angel tuned into the conversation, realizing it had gone serious, âYeah, my Mom and Dad are literally cops, Y/N. Just say the word-âÂ
âI promise itâs not that serious, Angel,â you said, shaking your head. The idea of involving the police felt almost laughable given the magnitude of Rafeâs wealth and influence. âI told you g-g-g-guys, heâs just a demanding asshole.â
âIf itâs not that serious than why has he been over at our apartment? If youâre not sleeping together or not dating?â
âItâs complicated,â You spoke robotically.Â
âWe want to be there for you,â Angel added. You wanted to believe that. If you told them the truth, youâd have to explain why you hadnât walked away yet. Rafe had given you every reason to quit and yet here you were.Â
âYou guys are there for me. I-I-I appreciate this night so much. Iâve just b-b-b-been letting work consume me. You guys have pulled me out of my fog. This next wwww-week will be better because Iâm actually taking care of myself.â
It was an excuse, a way to rationalize why you hadnât walked away from Rafe yet. You started to believe it, convincing yourself that things would get better just because you were trying to take care of yourself now.
âJust because heâs rich doesnât mean he gets to have your body,â The world seemed to go quiet after Imani spoke those words. The music quieted and both you and Angel stared at her, the heavy silence enveloping the three of you.Â
âSheâs right, you know,â Angel said softly.Â
How had she seen so clearly what you were trying to hide? Why were they prying into your life? You were an adult, after all. You should have the right to make your own decisions, however flawed they might seem to others. But their concern felt invasive, as if they were prying into a private struggle you were barely managing to keep under control.
Pity.Â
Your best friends pitied you, âOh, y-youâre not serious,â You smiled crazily, âHeâs not âŠIâm nnn-n-not âŠyou both have it so so wrong.â
They stared at you, trying to guage your reaction, but your heart and brain were going crazy. You couldnât pick what emotion to convey because you were feeling all of them.Â
âIâm drunk,â You rested your head back, âIâm so drunk.â
As the rideshare pulled up to your apartment building, you fumbled with your seatbelt, eager to escape the heavy conversation, âY/N, we didnât mean to upset you,â You heard Angel say at they followed you out of the car.Â
âIâm okay. So okay.â
You wanted to hurry inside the lobby but felt a hand wrap around your arm, âY/N,â Imani stopped you.Â
You whipped your head around, panicked, âIâm fine. I sss-said Iâm fine.â
âYou bossâs car is parked over there.â
You followed her pointed finger, and your blood ran cold. There it wasâRafeâs sleek black car, parked conspicuously outside your building. âWhaââ you stammered, unable to process the sight of it, âOh.â
âWhy the fuck is he here?â Imani cursed.Â
âIâll meet you guys insideââ
âGo talk to him but weâre standing right here until youâre done,â Imani crossed her arms in front of her and gave you pointed look.Â
âAngel,â You looked at you other friend, pleading.Â
She shook her head, âWeâre standing here, Y/N.â
âFine,â You whispered. It was a quiet declaration of your frustration, a statement of your internal struggle.Â
They didnât trust you. You could take care of yourself. This would upset Rafe, you knew it would. You took a deep breath as you wandered towards the small parking lot beside your building. His bright truck lights shined against the brick of the building and you saw his arm resting outside the window, fingers drumming nervous on the frame. You pulled at your crop top, wanting to force it to be longer, as you got closer.Â
âY/N,â His voice cut through the night air with a sharp edge.Â
Tonight, Rafeâs blue eyes were wild. Instead of the usual darkness you saw behind his pupils, you saw wildness. Dark circles under his eyes spoke of sleepless nights, and his other hand was busy rubbing worried circles over his buzzed haircut, a nervous habit you hadnât seen before.
âRafe, wh-what are you doing out here?â You dropped the formalities. It felt wrong to address him with respect, more than it usually did, when he was sitting outside of your apartment at two in the morning.Â
He looked you over once, before his door opened, and he climbed out. Dressed in a polo and khaki shorts, he left his car running, before he was standing in front of you. Only a foot away and already you werenât breathing correctly. He moved closer but you said, âYou shouldnât touch me.â
Hurt, confused, he gave you a look you hadnât seen before, âWhy not?â
You gestured as subtly as you could, to your two friend who were settled under the awning that hung over your apartment buildings entrance, âMy roommates are waiting for me.â
Rafeâs jaw ticked, before his hands found his hips, âRight,â He nodded before he laughed, âFuck, Iâm sorry. I just feel crazy tonight, you know?â
Yes, you knew. Now your crazy was starting to feel like nothing compared to whatever was building inside of your boss. He was different tonight, younger, and out of control, âWhat are you doing out here?â You asked again, âItâs two in the mmm-morning.âÂ
âYeah, I didnât mean to show up like this. I just wanted to talk to you. I came earlier and you werenât here and I ⊠I started spiraling, you know? Youâve been out all night. I donât like âŠI just felt fucking nervous.â
âNervous b-because I went out with mmm-mmm-my friends?â Your words were cautious but you couldnât help that your eyebrows raised in confusion.Â
âI needed to see you.â
âYou see me now,â You said, âWhat ⊠what is it?â
Rafe took a breath, âI made a mistake at the cabin and I think, ever since then, youâve been distant.â
You nodded as you tried to understand his meaning. He made a mistake when he spanked you with a belt, making two of his close acquaintances listen to you scream, and leaving you to cry yourself to sleep. The distance he now complained about was a direct result of his actionsâa defense mechanism youâd put in place to protect yourself. And yet, here he was, expressing frustration over your response, as if your withdrawal was the real issue rather than his behavior.
âRafe, honestly, this isnât h-h-helping ⊠I d-d-donât know if I can handle this right now. I donât know if I can be who you need me to be,â You took a step back and you were comforted by the fact that he couldnât take a step towards you. He wouldnât make a scene, not in front of your roommates. Maybe you could forgive their intrusiveness.Â
Rafe seemed to tense at your words and you watched as his eyes wandered down the sidewalk towards your friends, âOkay, uhm âŠthey say something to you?â His voice carried a note of suspicion, as if their presence was somehow a direct affront to him.
âTheyâre my friends,â you replied tersely, hoping that would be the end of it. Of course your friends had expressed their concerns about him.Â
âOkay,â Rafe said, his voice edged with frustration. âI just ⊠Iâm here because I want to fix things.â
âC-Can we talk about it on Monday, please?â You asked, âIâve been-â
âYouâve been drinking,â He filled in your words, more unamused than before, âItâs not safe, little girl like you, only your friends to protect you ⊠thereâs lots of bad, bad people in this city.âÂ
The way he said "little girl" stung. It wasnât the first time heâd used it, but it felt more patronizing and condescending tonight.
âI can take care of myself,â you said firmly, taking another step back towards your building, trying to put more space between you and his imposing figure.
âCan you?â he taunted, the words heavy with mockery. âAlright, Iâll give you some space. You know what? Go ahead and take Monday off, you deserve it, sweetheart.âÂ
âGoodnight,â You said before you turned away from him. You jumped when you heard his truck door slam close but you didnât look back.Â
Your friends, witnessing the tense exchange from the corner of the awning, approached you with concern written on their faces. Angel reached out, placing a gentle hand on your arm. âAre you okay?â she asked, her voice soft but filled with worry.
âFuck, that dude is crazy,â Imani said, âYou have to quit. Iâll get another part time job. We both will while you look for something else. Weâll make it work.â
You should have cried in their arms, letting their comfort and love wash over you, but instead, all you felt was exhaustion and apathy. You didnât have the energy to be comforted or to express your gratitude. Numb and drained, you trudged inside, your mind already longing for the softness of your pillow. Your friends followed quietly.Â
Tuesday morning, your alarm didnât wake you up. There was a pounding on your door before Imani stormed into your room. Heart racing, you lifted your head and checked your phone sitting on your side table. It was thirty minutes before your alarm was even supposed to go off, âWhat the-â
âLook!â Groggily, you sat up in your bed just as a crumpled white envelope was thrown at your chest. You held it up to the light trickling into your room from the window, and you easily saw red bold letters stamped across the top of the letter: EVICTION NOTICE.Â
Without another thought, you ripped open the envelopement, âItâs probably a-a prank, Imani.â
âWhat is going on?â Angel stumbled into the room next, mouth full of foaming toothpaste.Â
You held open the letter as you began to read carefully, âAs per the terms of your lease agreement and in a-a-accordance with the state and local regulations, this letter serves as your official notice of evictionââ
âFuck,â Imani cursed.Â
âThis decision has been mmmm-made in alignment with our current business strategy which includes renovating the apartment to increase its value and preparing the property for sale to a prospective buyer âŠâ
âSomeones buying our entire apartment building?â Angel asked, eyes wide with disbelief.
âThis is fucked,â Imani added.Â
You continued reading, âThe termination for your lease w-w-w-will be affected sixty days from the date of this notice. Please ensure thhh-that you vacate the premises by this date âŠâ
You read the letter over and over, trying to make sense of it. The signature at the bottom confirmed its legitimacy.
âThis doesnât make any sense,â Imani sat down on the edge of your bed, head in the palm of her hands, âThey canât do this. Itâs illegal! Where are we supposed to go?â
âSixty days from now is right before the holidays start,â Angel leaned in the doorway, her eyes starting to well with tears, âI canât go back home.â
Imani shook her head, âThis apartment is my home.â
Determined, you climbed out of bed, pulling on the work clothes you had pre-selected. You kicked off your fuzzy socks, removed your bonnet, and began fixing your braids into a messy bun. âIâm going into the office,â you said resolutely. âI w-w-w-work for a real estate company. Rafe will know what to do. They canât just do this. If anyone knows how to get out of this, he will.â
The two girls exchanged glances, their concern palpable. âWe donât need his help,â Imani said firmly.
âI donât think I want it,â Angel added quietly.
You stared at them, incredulous. âHe c-can help. You donât know him like I do.â
âY/N, is this really smart?â Angel asked, her voice tinged with worry.
âI canât believe you guys. Get out, Iâm getting ready,â you snapped, frustration rising. âGet out, now!â
As they left the room, their worried faces lingered in your mind, but you were focused on finding a solution.
Despite drunkenly conveying your uncertainties about your position with Rafe a few nights before, that morning, you were the epitome of perfection. You wore exactly what he had chosen for you: a light blue dress embellished with sparkling sequins, pockets, and a Peter Pan collar. You even spent more than ten minutes putting on your makeup that morning, you looked flawless, more effort than youâd ever put in before.
You recited his entire schedule with only a slight stutter, had a steaming cup of coffee waiting for him at his desk, and arranged for lunch from one of his favorite restaurants. You allowed him to wrap his hand around your waist, to lean down and bury his face in your neck, to inhale your scent and press a gentle kiss against your skin.
It was like nothing had changed. Seeing Rafe outside of your apartment that night was frightening, a reminder of the presence he now had in your life, but youâd never seen him look so ⊠desperate. Rafe Cameron was desperate for you, of all people. It dawned on you that perhaps there was room for negotiation. At the cabin, you had vehemently resisted his behavior, and his reaction had been explosively violent. But now, with him admitting to a mistake and showing a rare glimpse of vulnerability, you realized you might possess more leverage than you had previously imagined.
You spent the first few hours at work hyping yourself up to bring up the eviction notice to Rafe. All of his morning meetings went well and he didnât have the usual cloud of darkness that was constantly over his head. When there was finally a lull in the day, you finally told him the news youâd learned that morning. However, his reaction made your face fall into a frown that you didnât have the strength to correct.
âIâm not sure what the problem is. Donât I pay you enough to be able to afford your own apartment?â
âMy friends âŠâ you began, struggling to find the right words. Mentioning your friends was wrong. You knew how he felt about the voices of reason in your life.Â
âRight, your friends. What would you have me do?â His words continued to be indifferent and detached, as if he could want you so bad, but care nothing about the lives that were closest to you, âOffer them jobs? Pay for them to live as well?â
âNo, thatâs nnn-not what I mean,â It felt like he was purposefully miscontruing your words, and in turn, your character. Of course you didnât expect for him to take care of your friends. Not letting him take advantage of the sea of emotions you were feeling, you recited your problem clearly, âI just want to know if you have any advice. For handling the situation. Something thatâs in our control as tenants.â
âYou donât have much power at all, as tenants. Youâre subject to the decisions made by the property management and the owners,â Before the reality of his words fully sunk in, he sighed, continuing, âYou could look at your lease agreement and read it thoroughly to find any clauses that protect you. You could consult with a lawyer though that would be a pricy right to go down. You could talk to your landlord and try to get an extension to find a new place. Thatâs where I would start, sweetheart.â
Rafeâs hands folded together, looking up at you, as a smile graced his face. You nodded, âOkay,â You were grateful for a straight answer, but admittedly, you thought he would offer a better solution, âWhat should we look for in the lease? What would protect us?â
âAnything about early termination, language about renovations or changes in property management. Stipulations about how much notice is required before evicting you. If the landlord has violated any of those terms, it could be grounds for negotiation.â
âHuh,â you nodded, your heart filling with a small bit of hope, despite how out of reach some of his suggestions felt, âO-Okay, thank you. Yeah, Iâll t-t-talk to my roommates about it.â
âIf it were me, I would be make sure I focused on my own safety and well being. You canât really help your friends if youâre out on the street with them.âÂ
His words, rude and smart like always, stung but you didnât dwell on them, âThanks for the advice, sir.âÂ
For the rest of the morning, you shuffled between tasks and scrolling through your lease agreement. You searched it for the keywords that Rafe at mentioned and when that search wasnât fruitful, you started to read it top to bottom. Your landlord was only required to give you sixty days notice for an eviction. You found absolutely nothing about property management changes. Hours passed and as lunchtime approach, you were sufficiently frustrated.Â
You brought Rafe his lunch as he sat through a lunch time meeting but you made your way to the breakroom quickly afterwards.
Imani had called you a few time so you returned it. Youâd texted your groupchat about all the steps that Rafe had mentioned. Imani had replied that he was probably withholding information. You werenât quite sure why that idea hadnât crossed your mind.Â
âHey, I still havenât found anythingââ
âCameron Development is the one purchasing the apartment building, Y/N.â
Your heart sank and you plopped down on the breakroomâs leather couch with a heavy sigh, âShit,â You whispered.Â
âShit is an understatement,â She replied, âY/N, Iâm starting to think you need to be really careful. Maybe we should go to the police.â
Heâd lied to your face, unabashedly.Â
"We'll talk about it later, I promise," You spoke before you hung up, not giving her a chance to argue.
It was much too late for careful. You shouldâve ran after your first conversation with him but now ⊠you were effectively trapped. Rafe had sex with you even when you didnât want to. He hurt you and you held him for comfort after you. It had been weeks since youâd even felt like yourself.Â
You leaned back to stare at the ceiling and you didnât move for the next thirty minutes. Eleanor was the one who came to find you after youâd gone missing, âY/N, Rafeâs been looking for you. What are you doing?â
âDid you know?â You asked her solemnly, your voice felt broken.Â
She came to sit beside you and you felt her place a hand on your shoulder as she leaned closer, âTopper told me they rushed the deal. Offered twice the asking price. Said it was horrible idea, completely financially irresponsible, but Rafe insisted. â
âWh-What should I do?â You turned your head towards her, tears in your eyes, âI-Iâve never had sss-someone feel this way about me b-but th-this feels wrong.â
âWhat should you do?â She repeated, âI think he loves you.â
âL-Love?â You seemed to choke on the words.Â
From what you could tell, it didnât seem that Rafe was capable of loving anyone, âWhat does your gut tell you?â
This entire time, your gut had been telling you one thing, âT-To run?â
Even now, you were so unsure of yourself, âMakes sense, heâs suffocating you.â
You sat up in your spot, âShould I go now? Leave all my stuff? He p-paid for it, anyways.â
âI donât think this is the time,â She squeezed your shoulder gently, her eyes soft as they fixed on you, âIf you run, heâll drag you back to his mansion kicking and screaming. Rafe just made this grand gesture to display his power. A huge fuck you to all the people you care about. Heâs desperate. This is your time to get what you want from him. Tell him, youâre not going to be his little sex secretary anymore or follow him to the mountains, unless he changes.âÂ
âY-You think he can change?â
âI didnât think so before,â Eleanor said, her voice firm. âBut now, seeing how desperate he is, I believe heâll do anything to keep you.â
You could barely admit to yourself that part of you wished what she was saying was true. The notion that Rafe might have feelings for you, even if expressed through flawed and controlling actions, was both intoxicating and unsettling. Maybe you could take the bad with the good if the good started to outweigh the bad. But Rafeâs bad was more than bad. His soft gestures were often accompanied by demands and manipulations.Â
There was no pros and cons list to be made. You looked at your situation objectively, Eleanorâs words having finally forced you to. If you ran, heâd come after you. If you ran, youâd have nothing. No apartment or salary to support yourself. You longed for a relationship where you felt safe and cared for and you wanted to live in a world where your friends were also taken care of.Â
âI hope youâre not handling your personal business during workhours,â Rafe had said when you finally returned to the office.Â
Ironic, given all the personal things you two had done together in that very office.Â
âIâm not the one who made it personal,â You spoke easily, smoothly.Â
You made your way to your desk. Your words seemed to bothered him but you didnât glance at him long enough to take in his reaction.Â
âAnd how did I make it personal?â You flipped through your personal calendar, taking a pen and marking down all of Rafeâs scheduled social events.Â
âItâs not g-g-going to work. Using my friends to threaten me.â
âOh?â That single word was dripping with venom.
âJust makes me think even www-worse of you. And I-I already had a poor opinion.â
âYeah?â You wanted to look at him but you kept your eyes focused down, âWhat makes you think I give a fuck about your opinion of me?"
âB-Because I drive you crazy. Because Iâm the one person y-you want to control completely.â
âMaybe I wanted to make things easier for you. Maybe I know that youâll outgrow your little friends soon and you need a push in the right direction. You have friends in higher places now, you know that?â
âY-You donât like that they tell me to quit. That they know sss-somethings wrong with you.â
âYouâre wrong,â He shot back.
âYouâve done a good job b-because now I canât leave without losing everything,â It took everything to keep your voice from breaking. Finally, you turned your heads toward him. You saw the way his chair was towards you, the way his grip was tight on the armrests of his chair.
âMaybe Iâve been selfish.â
You scoffed at that, âYouâve mmm-made it clear that you donât care about my needs or mmm-my feelings.â
âI know your feelings, sweetheart. You wear them so clearly,â Rafe replied, you could see it in his face that he was trying to keep his tone subdued He leaned foreward slightly, eyes as intense as ever, âTell me what needs I havenât tended to. Let me fix things, yeah?â
His offered seemed genuine and exactly what you were hoping for, werenât you?Â
âYou really want to fix things?â
âYeah,â He said like the crimes heâd committed against you were something that could remedied, âI canât change what I donât know.â
âItâs not just about what youâve done wrong. Itâs a-about how you handle things from now on,â You started, choosing your words carefully, âItâs about allowing mmm-mmme to set boundaries and respecting them.â
âBoundaries?â His head twisted to the side like he wasnât entirely familiar with the term, âThereâs multiple?â
âFirst, I want you t-to do what you can to remedy this apartment situation. Then, I donât want you to ever bring my friends into this again.â
âFine, Iâll get them another apartment. Iâll even throw in free rent.â
âNo,â You shook your head, âYou own the building which means you let us stay. No renovations.â
âI made an investment. I have to make a profitââ
âIâm serious,â You countered, âY-Y-You made your point. You have all the mmm-money in the world and we have nothing in comparison.â
Rafe sighed, fingers tapping against his leg, âOkay, they stay but you come to live with me.â
âWhat? Why?â It was another layer of control, not a solution.Â
âYour friends will want nothing to do with me or my help. If you continue to work for me, they wonât want anything to do with you either. If you want to maintain those relationships, some space would be better. Let them see you happy and theyâll come to their senses about our relationship.â
The implication of his words was clear. He was offering you a way to keep your friends, but it came with the price of further entangling your life with his. It felt like a manipulative trade-off. You thought about the way he had manipulated you before, using your friends as leverage, and it made you wary of his intentions.
âI wonât say yes right now,â You decided, âSss-sss-since weâre talking about living situations. Next year, I want to stay in Charlotte.â
âThat wonât work.â
What had Eleanor told you to do? Had she forgotten how stubborn he was?Â
âY-Youâre asking me to move across the state with you. I-Itâs t-t-t-to much. There will have to be another arrangement.â
âHmm, I wonât say yes right now,â he repeated your wording with an edge of mockery. You scowled, feeling the frustration build up inside you.
âYou just sss-said you wanted to fix things.â
âMy intentions ⊠my intentions are to leave the city and spend the next few years settling down. Iâm getting to a certain age and Iâve been thinking about, you know, getting married and having kids. It feels like the right time,â The information is a shock to you, not the thought of Rafe wanting a wife and kids, but knowing immediately he was implying that youâd be filling that role, âItâs a beautiful area. I wouldnât expect you to continue your role there. Youâd fully be a stay-at home wife, you could pursue any hobbies you wanted, and of course youâd have access to even more money than Iâve been paying you.â
Rafe began to paint a picture of a gilded cage. On the surface, it was tempting: a life of comfort, stability, and freedom from financial worries. But the price was your independence and autonomy. The thought of becoming a stay-at-home wife, completely reliant on him and cut off from your own life in Charlotte, was suffocating.
âWhat if I d-d-donât want that life? W-What if I want my own career?â
He hesitated, his gaze narrowing as he leaned back in his chair, âWhat career do you want? Iâll give it to you. You can do practically anything from home these days. If you want to spend the first years doing that, fine, Iâm not expecting kids right away.â
You hadnât realized it but your breath was starting to quicken. You placed a hand over your chest, all of that resolve you had going into the conversation starting to fade away, âThis is why I didnât want to tell you,â Rafe seemed to talk to himself, âHey, hey, calm down.âÂ
Your breath came out in quick shallow breaths. Rafeâs proposal pressed down on you as the room started to spin. You felt his arms around you before you could fall from your chair, âEleanor, I need you here,â You heard clearly. For the next moments, you could only hear their muffled talking. You remembered seeing both of them, panicked look on Eleanorâs face, a hand rubbing down your back. Rafe was talking to you, his eyes trained on you intently. You remembered a glass of water coming to your lips and you tilted your head back, welcoming the liquid, thinking it might quell the fire inside your mind.Â
Though your thoughts still raced, the roomâs spinning slowed down, and the you heard Rafe dsay, âItâll help you feel better.â
He stayed with you, rubbing soothing circles into the skin of your thighs, âThank you,â You whispered though you hated that you found comfort in his touch. A wave of drowsiness overcame you and despite your best efforts to stay alert, you felt yourself lean forward until you were fully in Rafeâs arms, âRafeââ
âIâve got you, sweetheart. Rest,â Rafe murmured, his voice soft and reassuring as he held you close.
This got too long, gonna have to make another part! Pls pls pls reblog and let me know your thoughts and predictions!

Angel on fire
Warnings!: Angst(?), love triangle. (Part 1)
Fandom!: Hazbin hotel
Author note: I JUST WANNA WORK ON SOMETHING FOR MYSELF BEFORE JUMPING BACK TO DOING REQUESTS âĄÂŽïœ„áŽïœ„`âĄ
Summary!: âyou are as beautiful as the moon my dear.â He said with the sweeting smile you adored. âAnd your as deadly as the sun I fear, my loveâ you answered oh so bitter-fully.

Heaven's her residence y ella no se va a caer
They just can't reach her, princesita inalcanzableâ

The air was heavy almost unbreathable, how the demons lived like this was dancing around in your mind. It was so much different in hell then in heaven, there was so much⊠malice but thatâs to be expected you supposed.
But you choose to continue walking, in your disguise of course, the out rage there would be if one of heavens top angels were in hell would be quite the mess to say the least. But you had to risk it, if charlie was right, if souls truly could be redeemedâŠmaybeâŠjust maybe, youâd be able to see him once more.
Finally you reached the hotel doors, and with one last stride stood right were the door knob was. Your nerves were going array to say the least, you knew what this rebellion could cost you. But it was for him, it always was, wasnât it?, you quickly snapped out of you mind as you took a deep breath and knocked on the door waiting anxiously. A creek rang out in your ears as the door opened, coming face to face with the princess of hell herself. She looked at you with confusion before quickly turning it into excitement as she bounced around quickly grabbing your arm and letting you in as she shut the door in a hurry.
âIâm so glad you made it!â She squealed. Leaving you surprise after the rough hearing in heaven she had just a day ago. âIâm glad I made it aswell, it took much more then I was expecting but Iâm glad no one seemed to notice!â You said gracefully as you could. âHave you made sure everyoneâs away?â You asked in hushed tone, she quickly nodded as she explained âyes I have!, though it cost a bit but Cherri took them out for a bit!â She said nervously playing with her hair âalthough this time I said to stray away from clubsâŠâ she said with a heavy sigh. You placed your hand on her shoulder comforting as you began to speak âIâm sure weâll figure something out!â You said with a sure smile. Making her regain hers as she agreed âyea! Your right, okay, letâs do this!â She said as her hands turned in to fist to pump herself up.
âSo, what was your idea?â
â
ăâ
ăâ

ăâ

âSo! What do you think?, I know it sounds a bit crazy but!-â you quickly cut her off âit isnât crazy Charlie! It just needs some workâŠâ you smiled softly at the girl making her look back at her board covered in strings and notes. âYea.. I know..â she said pacing âlook, I know I said I have connections with adam.. but itâs gonna take some time to convince him.. especially if you and I wanna not make it look suspiciousâ you said pondering what your next move should be.
âI know but even for that one day in heaven I could tell he has some favoritism for you!â Charlie exclaimed âyes but-â you inquired before she cut you off âlook, Y/n, I just need the date of the extermination to be pushed back! He said heâll come for us first and I just⊠I donât know what to do! He wonât listen!â She said as her hand stressfully began to run through her blond hair as her pacing picked up pace. âHe wonât listen, but Iâll make him listen Charlie, thatâs an angels promiseâ you said trying to calm the girl. Which seemingly helped her before she sat down next to you sighing. Before turning her head to you questioning something in her head before finally speaking up.âI know this might be rude, donât get me wrong! Iâm so glad you actually listen to my idea! ButâŠwhatâs the reasoning? I mean barely anyone even tried agreeing! But youâre.. just leading a hand for the hell of it?â She questioned with a glint of curiosity in her eyes. You only stared at her as you questioned if you should even trust her with such information you were about to tell.âIâŠI have someone whoâs dear to me here, and I just, I just want him back in my armsâ you confessed making the princesses eyes widen. âWho!â She asked almost too quickly, you shook your head in disappointment âI apologize princess but Iâm afraid thatâs something I wish to not revealâ you said.
âLook I have to get going, someones probably already getting suspicious of my absentsâ you said standing up and dusting off your clothing âbut like I promised Iâll see what I can do and Iâll push the date as far back as I can, okay?â You said as you looked down at Charlie who still was seated at the couch. She could only nod, but you could tell she had some Sorrow in her mood. âPlease keep your head up high princess, do not let them knock down your dreams.â You said silently as you bowed to her âIâll be taking my leave but please put your trust in me, I will keep your and my people safeâ you said with a smile as she stood up eyes drifting to you. âI..I trust you y/nâ she said with a soft smile you only nodded to this as a portal behind you soon began to open. âIâll come back soon, and with good newsâ you said as you slowly backed into the portal âtake care princessâ you said one final time at her.
She nodded as you gave her one last reassuring smile before fully walking into the portal. leaving the princess in a half better state then she was before.
But little did both of you know, a red haired demon was carefully listening in to both of you. Oh how his smile grew all the more bigger
His precious y/n was soon to be home,
With him once more.

Please feel free to use this information, together in your own ways ['non-linearity, social tipping point interventions']Â XR Humanity Emergency Services A realistic deterrent force in #ClimateAction using #civilresistance #defensiveengagement #reflexivelearning #constantactivity against unprecedented crime.
Assuming opponents to climate activism will stop at nothing to protect their vested interests causing accelerating atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions and assuming a worst-case scenario that it is impossible to distinguish between their non-harmful and harmful actions then constant activity and reflexive learning have to become our watchwords.
Non-centralized, climate activism with âan edgeâ of competitive, realistic, defensive engagement, armed with powerful movements of mass, non-linear, non-violent, civil resistance needs to show comprehension of what is happening, is capable of rapid, appropriate response, has credibility and communicates well in an integrated operational context.
Through constant activity and reflexive learning, our mobilized climate activists are continually capable of modernizing, transforming, adapting our defensive engagement strategies and on-the-ground tactics against opponents, who may or may not be so-called âclimate deniers.â
An adaptive edge to our climate activism includes using whatever technologies are needed in the fight - a modern, digitally-peopled fighting force, constant research and development honing âthe edgeâ, experimentation with industrial supporters, high levels of resilience and appropriate well-defended supply chains for our front-line warriors.Â

LES SERVICES D'URGENCE DE L'HUMANITà XR: une force de dissuasion réaliste dans l'activisme climatique utilisant une activité constante et un apprentissage réflexif pour un engagement défensif.
En supposant que les opposants Ă l'activisme climatique ne reculeront devant rien pour protĂ©ger leurs intĂ©rĂȘts personnels provoquant une augmentation des Ă©missions de gaz Ă effet de serre dans l'atmosphĂšre et en supposant le pire des cas oĂč il est impossible de faire la distinction entre leurs actions non nocives et nuisibles, alors une activitĂ© constante et un apprentissage rĂ©flexif doivent devenir nos mots d'ordre.
L'activisme climatique non centralisé avec 'un bord' d'engagement compétitif, réaliste et défensif armé de puissants mouvements de masse, non linéaires, non violents, la résistance civile doit montrer sa compréhension de ce qui se passe, est capable d'une action rapide et appropriée réponse, est crédible et communique bien dans un contexte opérationnel intégré.
GrĂące Ă une activitĂ© constante et Ă un apprentissage rĂ©flexif, nos militants pour le climat mobilisĂ©s sont continuellement capables de moderniser, transformer, adapter nos stratĂ©gies dâengagement dĂ©fensif et nos tactiques sur le terrain contre des adversaires, qui peuvent ou non ĂȘtre des soi-disant «nĂ©gateurs du climat».
Un avantage adaptatif à notre activisme climatique comprend l'utilisation de toutes les technologies nécessaires dans la lutte - une force de combat moderne et numériquement peuplée, une recherche et un développement constants qui perfectionnent `` le bord '', l'expérimentation avec des partisans industriels, des niveaux élevés de résilience et appropriés bien défendus chaßnes d'approvisionnement pour nos guerriers de premiÚre ligne.

1. Social tipping dynamics for stabilizing Earthâs climate by 2050 [Ilona M. Otto @Ilonamotto et.al.] 4 February 2020 SIGNIFICANCE 'Achieving a rapid global decarbonization to stabilize the climate critically depends on activating contagious and fast-spreading processes of social and technological change within the next few years. Drawing on expert elicitation, an expert workshop, and a review of literature, which provides a comprehensive analysis on this topic, we propose concrete interventions to induce positive social tipping dynamics and a rapid global transformation to carbon-neutral societies. These social tipping interventions comprise removing fossil-fuel subsidies and incentivizing decentralized energy generation, building carbon-neutral cities, divesting from assets linked to fossil fuels, revealing the moral implications of fossil fuels, strengthening climate education and engagement, and disclosing greenhouse gas emissions information.'
