"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.

IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??

BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.

Shout out to the Holy Roman Empire for the funniest assembly name ever, Charles V for convening it and Martin Luther for refusing to recant his writings, causing the name of it to feature several times in my textbook.

vague-posting about this here cuz i don't feel comfortable yapping about my su takes on twitter, but after everything that's happened the most interesting thing about the su fandom to me is that so many are 100% there for applying the "everyone can change and deserves a second chance" message to everyone, even the diamonds. except for one ☝️ she doesn't count. cuz she's dead.

btw I know there's probably already propaganda out there about this, but I wanna say my 2 cents on Tim Walz and the George Floyd protests.

He really listened to the protesters and gave them time and space to exercise their rights.

When not only riots were breaking out, but also non-local fascist extremists showing up looking to add fuel to the proverbial fire, THAT'S when the National Guard was there to stop the bullshit.

I've seen people on the right criticise him for not sending in the national guard immediately (i.e. against local protesters). Now there will be psyop propaganda against him, targeting us too.

Oh, and he also pushed for police reform as well, so this isn't just grandstanding either. As a local, I think he's handled it perfectly.

and here's an article I found if you don't want to take my word for it:

I always feel like the worst kind of character redemptions (other than redemptions where a character immediately redeems themselves after one conversation) are ones where the villain is betrayed and so they switch sides, and it's treated like they've become a better person.

It's honestly wild to me that ToA went through so much trouble to emphasize the fact that Will did not magically fix all of Nico's problems and was explicitly not Nico's only doctor.

Only for TSATS to have Will fix all of Nico's problems and have Nico be entirely reliant on him the entire book and literally helpless without him and LITERALLY have Nico's problems be magically removed.

it's just a little interesting that people love genuinely kind and good hearted characters but somehow batmans unwavering belief that people can be better and people can be changed is not enough? even characters within the same media are praised and respected for being the bigger hero and choosing to save rather than to hurt and yet bruce's no-kill rule is often a point of ridicule for his character.

what is so wrong with having a immensely complicated character have slightly less complicated morals about empathy? for a character who loves and hurts and loses why is this something so unbelievably unrealistic for a hero to believe in. what is outlandish about people being people before they are a product of their misfortunes?

of course it isn't a perfect mindset, it isn't even a healthy one in a lot of cases — but it is something that has stayed true to its mission and so i think it deserves a little more thinking before being dragged around as lazy writing.

The reason Flora didn’t recognize Helia wasn’t because of him being transgender but because back when they were kids, Helia was that one kid who ate dirt by the handful and was generally a handful to anyone who took care of him.

Kind of hard to believe that this elegant, well-educated, and cool-headed man was a goblin child that would bite your ankles in his youth.

/j

god this is canon

baby helia out there catching worms for floras garden and showing up absolutely covered in dirt and twigs

i love it too bc under that persona of suave, well traveled, artistic gentleman, helia is so quippy and quirky, so there would be moments where flora is like ahhhh there it is

non canon to casey official lore but what if she did get that son of a bitch

Me when I see ppl saying Makoto is bland and has no personality like my guy do you realize that being kind, selfless, and forgiving are all strong personality traits

Is it funnier if:

Shishido tunes in to the VTuber's broadcast knowing he'll fume about exposing Kiryu being his idea first

Shishido is already a fan of the VTuber and tunes in as normal only to fume about exposing Kiryu being his idea first

Shishido is the VTuber

SHISHIDO IS THE VTUBER

what if i made an au where the prism created sonics for the different groups once it was fixed lol that'd be wild. anyways

new yoke gets shard ; a grumpy loner who particularly enjoys being a thorn in the council's side. he's fine with the resistance, but the way they make him out to be some grand hero can annoy him. rebel and knucks are the real heroes for keeping the fight going for so long, they deserve that credit. he's not sure who this 'traitorous fox' guy they keep mentioning is, but he's curious. maybe he could get an explanation from the council after their next fight. or he might steal a ship and go find the fox himself

boscage maze gets spirit ; a happy, optimistic, very animated hedgehog. he's clueless to the previous battles between "the monster and the scavengers" but he doesn't seem to mind. he's great at finding a middle ground for prim and thorn whenever they get a bit too heated. he also seems to be able to read mangey like a book, able to hold conversations with him easily despite the fox not saying a single word

no place gets tonic ; a more chill guy to contrast dread's anger and grief and black rose's high energy. he mostly lazes about, but sails seems to take a liking to him so they let him stay aboard the angel's voyage 2.0 despite the fact he doesnt see to be able to swim. he doesn't really talk either, but he's pretty damn good with a sword

imagining sirius and james being roommates in uni and being the 'bachelors' of their building, always going out and flirting, making out with random people in the club and bringing them back, but eventually they both meet Remus and Lily and immediately both fall head over heels and they just sit and whine about how hot they both are but neither of them will flirt with them and keep turning them down until eventually a couple years later they're both in their shared house and they come downstairs at the same time, seeing Remus and Lily at the kitchen table after both couples spent the night together for the first time, and sirius and james just fist bump because yeah they got laid but they got laid with the loves of their lives and they're both in healthy, happy relationships at the exact same time like they always said they would be as kids

How does he reform folks? I assume it's by choose since I've seen he can choose not too. And do fatal. So, Is there a like a time limit on that? Could he change his mind during softer digestion too?

Here's a little doodle of how I envision it looking!

Because he's a shapeshifter, Chris will usually choose to separate any prey he intends for reformation in his guts by closing up whatever section of intestine he has that contains the most of his prey (ie: the heaviest section).

Upon making sure it's of a suitable size to hold fully reformed prey, with a sharp gurgle and sudden squeeze, he squishes what's left of the prey together tightly, and when his gut expands again-

Plop. There's a new prey. Trapped in the maze of his belly, it's up to him to decide their fate- and from the look of that gut portion, it seems he's decided to rejoin them with the rest of his digestive system for another round. How unfortunate.

He can change his mind on softer digestion as well! Oftentimes, he'll reform the prey as they're melting in his gut to keep them alive but soupy while he decides what to do with them. As for a time limit... that I'm not sure of. I want to say it's probably until the prey has been completely digested (bones and all with enough loops) but I think if it was the exact right scenario, he could bring back someone he'd entirely gurgled away, though it would take a LOT of energy out of him.
