This has most definitely been said before, but we were robbed of the core four quarantining on-screen together at Buck’s place. ROBBED I say

It’s so funny to think about but because Shanks is who he is. He probably threw a party for Mihawk the first time they met up after Mihawk was finally tall enough to wear Yoru straight down his back.
Bonus if Shanks had already had his growth spurt and Mihawk was getting genuinely worried he had hit his final height and would never complete his aesthetic. (Also Shanks already lords over the one inch he could not have handled a several inches height difference it would have actually killed him if he didn’t kill himself first)
Also of course he pulls up with the Long coat and the hat already in checks who do you think this is?

#ok but fr marking undergrad essays is such a rollercoaster#i gave two very high marks today and was genuinely impressed and then the next three i marked were practically incoherent#one just copy and pasted their intro instead of writing a conclusion. like it's verbatim the same paragraph#i dont mark down for minor grammar and syntax errors because there's a high rate of ESL students...#... but some of the papers from native english speakers have me more concerned about functional illiteracy than I've ever been#these are 19-20yos in a humanities field at a top university! even the highest scoring essay had basic basic grammar errors and vocab misuse#at least i could tell what the student was trying to say there but some of the others...#if your punctuation and spelling and syntax are all so bad that i literally cant tell what you're trying to say there is a serious problem#even setting aside how many errors like these there were there's the flip side of the issue: actually writing an essay#the last one i marked yesterday had no structure or thesis or secondary sources#everything between the intro and conclusion was the same claim phrased in different ways with some irrelevant non sequitur quotes thrown in#no analysis other than the words 'analysis of this shows' which is *gasp* not a substitute for analysis#OH AND OMG#one made a direct claim about a figure's political stance and attached a footnote. i went to see what the student's source was.#the footnote literally said something like 'i know i should have a source here but it's only context and i don't want to waste my word count#like what???? do you think claims about relevant context don't need evidence??? and the audacity to not give a citation...#... and claim it's because it would take too many words away from your main argument??#just providing the actual citation for the claim would have been 3-5 words max but the footnote about not having room was 30 words#kid do you think i can't tell that you dont have that citation? do you think anyone's buying that you didn't include it to save space?#it's the very first footnote and most of the others are full-length bibliography entries jammed into the footnotes (which we don't require)#so either you were 'worried about space' at the first footnote then changed your mind as you wasted 250 words on unnecessary formatting#or you were over the word limit and were like 'gotta cut something!' and the only footnote you 'simplified for space' was a short basic one#^assuming i believed you. which i dont. because why would you think that would fool anyone.#i still have half the essays left. im tired and so disappointed in how little we're told we should expect from them

while we’re at it, if you don’t change your behavior and take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of covid-19, you will lose your disabled friends and family one way or the other. if they don’t die, they’ll become too disabled to go out or see loved ones anymore, including you. and if they manage to stay safe, they’ll see you, not doing anything to help them maintain that safety. they’ll see you unwilling to protect them because it’s inconvenient. they’ll see you treating other people like them as disposable, as unimportant, as unworthy of safety, community, joy, and life; as though they are cannon fodder for your “new normal”. and they will realize you see them as disposable too. they will realize you aren’t a safe person for them, that you can’t be trusted, that they are not as important to you as your personal convenience. they will realize that their life matters less to you than going to that concert or eating out in a restaurant or going to a party. they will look at you, ignoring the suffering around you, unwilling to put a piece of cloth over your face for the sake of normalcy, and they will know that they don’t matter to you, regardless of how much you claim to care, because your actions speak louder than your words. and it will ruin your relationship with them. they will grieve who they once thought you to be, and even if they stay, they will never look at you the same. your relationship will forever be tarnished or you will lose them altogether all because you couldn’t be bothered to be uncomfortable for even a second. because you would rather stick your head in the sand and pretend everything is back to normal while they drown in front of you because it is easier for you.
your disabled loved ones see your lack of action and care, and it tells them they don’t matter. please show them they do. if you want the chronically ill and disabled people in your life to stick around, to see you as someone they can rely on, someone who sees them as valuable, wear that fucking mask.

TIL: The person that picks up when you call your representatives isn't always going to simply listen, take notes, and pass it on for you. They may try to argue with you and gaslight you about your concerns! 😃🙃
So this is friendly reminder to take care of yourself if you're marathoning calling representatives! Take breaks if you need to, drink your favorite drink, eat your favorite snack, take deep breaths in between each call! And if you have an audio recorder feel free to keep it close to your phone in case the person you're on call with tries to say some slick shit 🤗

most exclusionists have probably never had to ACTUALLY struggle to figure out their identity. like, i mean ACTUALLY struggle. not just being a little confused for a little while but figuring it out without much pain or hassle and after that point not really questioning again. and it fucking shows.
like oh i’m so sorry you spent a month slightly confused over your sexuality or gender, but then you figured it out and that was that. so now you think you’re the fucking end all be all of the queer experience and expect it to be that fucking easy for everyone. good for fucking you.
every night for four years, i was up agonizing over my sexuality. a lot of the times it was so painful i couldn’t breathe, just had to fucking keep going feeling like there was no end in sight to the NOT KNOWING. and some of y’all will truly never ever understand what that feels like but instead of acknowledging that you act like it should just be fucking easy for us.
5 years later, i’m not actually that much closer to figuring any of it out. but i’ve never been happier. you know what helped me get there? realizing that my worth is not dependent upon whether or not i have myself figured out, that i don’t need to have myself figured out in order to move forward with my life. and then, fucking THEN, gender came into the picture and sometimes i feel like i’m right back where i started.
last night, when i was outed to my mom, she was more accepting of my gender identity than most of the people in this “community”. my 60 year old mother who got confused when i said i thought i was a boy because “i thought you were asexual”, still managed to be more comforting and supportive of my journey with gender and sexuality, than any of the exclusionists who’ve come for me on here. my mother, who doesn’t know the difference between a trans man and a trans woman, still was able to tell me that my soul doesn’t change just because my gender might and that i have time to figure it out and don’t need to rush myself, whereas i’ve had hundreds of OTHER QUEER PEOPLE tell me to kill myself for being bi and a lesbian and a boy.
so fuck you. fuck you if you think that you know more about me than i do. fuck you if you think those years i spent in constant questioning agony, don’t matter because i just have to use the definition that makes everyone else comfortable. fuck your exclusionism, fuck your gatekeeping, fuck you forever.

Pros of Launching a New Tumblr Account Solely for Making a Sanctuary Information Resource: a) Don't have to use the wiki anymore, for various practical and personal reasons. b) Helps other people on here get info for fics, etc. c) excuse to rewatch Sanctuary and go rabid. d) helps with my own knowledge.
Cons: I'm feeling lazy.
(excuse the essay/vent in the tags)

A story about a very religious boy who goes to confession every week to pray for God to take his gay thoughts away and the priest's son practicing to take over for his father who slowly falls in love with him until one day when he comes to confession in tears because someone caught him with another boy and he's being burned as a witch, accused by the town and his scared lover that he'd put a spell on him and was practicing witchcraft
The priest finally pulls back the curtain to confess his feelings and help him escape but he's already gone, dragged to the pyre and it's only as the torches are lit that he finally learns the name and face of the boy who stole his heart
"Caleb. Caleb Thomas. The blacksmith's son. That's who he was. The boy who came to confession every week, who begged for the Lord to forgive him, to take away the part of him that was so wrong and broken. The boy I'd come to love. The boy I watched now as my father lit the wood beneath his feet, condemning him to fires far worse than the ones that would sear his mortal skin.
Did he know? Did he know how he'd broken every rule I'd ever been taught with his laugh? How he'd torn down all the walls I'd put up as he told his story? How he'd taught me what love really was? That love was never just the transaction my parents made it seem, it was so much more beautiful than that. Love lived and grew and was so strong it made your head spin and I had it. I'd felt it. But I never got to live it. I was too scared, too stuck in the ways of the past like the generations before me. And now I'd never feel it again. I'm so sorry Caleb. I couldn't save you, I can't even save myself. If loving you is so wrong, then take my heart with you. Let it die in the fire that engulfs you, for that will be the only way I can live in the way I'm supposed to. May God have mercy on your soul."
"David Williams, you have no idea what you've done to me. I see you out there, your eyes just as beautiful as the first time we met. Do you see me now? Do you realize all I've done to try and fill the hole in my heart that was only ever meant for you? Don't cry, my love, I'm not worth your tears. Don't blame yourself for my mistakes. Don't fall in the eyes of the Lord you hold so dear because of me. I was never worth your time, your attention, your heart. I could never be worth it.
I tried, I tried so hard to forget you. To replace you, to rebuke you. But your eyes, your smile, your laugh, they haunt my dreams and remind me of these thoughts and how broken I am. My heart shouldn't miss a beat whenever we make eye contact during mass, I shouldn't ache for your touch whenever our hands would brush together during communion, I shouldn't want you the way I've never wanted a woman. But I do. God strike me down where I stand, I do. And it's because of that I can't have you. I won't taint you the way I've been, I won't give the devil your heart the way he's taken mine. I can only hope God will forgive my grave sin of loving you."
(I wish I could say I was sorry but y'all know I'm not)
(hums "Love was the law, religion was taught")

I'm so upset. Like the Ascendent is WRONG but he was also right! I want to talk about it!
lucky for you, anon, I am more than happy to talk about it! I had a lot of thoughts about this, for a very long time, and i've had to keep them all to myself until now :)
I have made a lot of drafts of that final set of speeches! I wanted to make it clear that the Ascendent is obviously, unequivocably an unreliable narrator. But that doesn't mean I didn't think some of what it said wasn't true, in its own eyes - however false you, the reader, might want to eventually judge it as being, once you weigh up the entire narrative from your own perspective.
My key thoughts honestly were:
If you were an entity born from a crime you didn't even technically commit, who just woke up with the blood upon your hands and your every single friend looking at you in horror, then maybe, just maybe, you might resent the absentee father who took the evil vampire promotion then fucked off and left you to deal with the consequences
If you feel alone and abandoned, you'd probably gravitate towards the only other person you can see is as alone and abandoned as you feel. And you'd probably know that was their weakness as well. So you hold that out to them and say: 'look at us both, we're both so abandoned, that's what we have in common. we're the same. aren't you lonely? aren't you just feeling wretched? what if we could be that way, together?'
This is also just the Ascendent's... last ditch attempt at manipulation lmao. He wasn't winning when he was Rosalie's only option - how does he think he's going to fare, when the Real Deal is back on the table? So he was also just saying anything he could to try and still have a chance.
All three of these things are true! And that's what I tried to convey in Chapter 19.

on today's episode of “i've connected the dots” - do you truly care about me? edition
(too long; didn't read (“tl;dr”) at the end of the text + in the tags)
a lot of people (especially those like me) are aware that the pandemic isn't actually over. i take precautions like semi-regular tests, staying inside most of the time, not attending meet ups if i'm informed that people i do not know and don't trust are coming, always having a mask on my person for confined spaces (i have problems with masks on my face so i try to stay a- outside and b- away from people)
relevant dot: i have been sort of ridiculed for asking if a third person i didn't know personally who had a sick kid had done a covid test (it was a yes or no question & it was turned into an hours long discussion of “i simply don't know this person and don't wanna die” vs. “what does it matter if they have done the test?”)
however, people in ny life, who have claimed to care about me, have looked at me weird for buying covid tests, considering the risk of covid infections when thinking about outings, asking them to get tested if they feel sick & wanna meet up, getting annoyed over people not keeping their distance, simply being covid-aware, etc.
meanwhile, those same people do not want to take precautions because... well, it doesn't affect them, does it? they've had covid before and they're fine now, so everyone else will be fine, too, no?
so, here's where the connecting dots come in: if you care about me as much as you claim, why is it so hard for you to -even if what you think were true, in which case it would simply be for my peace of mind (am i not important enough for you to consider my peace of mind as important/nearly as important as your own?)- take the precautions that, essentially, would serve to keep me alive?
tl;dr: if you care as much about me as you claim to, why are you okay with the possible consequence of your actions being my death?

every "one" spoken in Stranger Things: Season 1
you know how there are a few instances of "one" in ST dialogue that make you go "ohhh" knowing what we know now? l thought I'd just put all of them together and see if there are any interesting ones I missed. definitely not saying every single one of these is an "ohhh", this is literally just every hit I got on a transcript search.
fave so far is Hopper saying "mind if I borrow this one?" when stealing that guard's keycard. why would you say it like that 🤨
