Mistakes Like These (It's A Bad Idea, Me & You)

Because fuck it, I've lost my mind. A gift for @aulwil on AO3, and if I've made a feast I may as well throw a banquet. It's too long to put in a text post here. I started this before season 2 dropped. I'm also writing it again from Jinx's perspective, so it'll [hopefully] have a twin sometime soon.

Word count: 11,348 (oneshot)

Summary: They have always understood each other with the smallest of gestures, the faintest of expressions. A softness reserved for each other; exclusive to one another. That softness paints Jinx's face now with a demure smile, her lidded eyes warm and tranquil. Everything Silco loves in this life. Everything he fears losing if he chooses to go down this road with her. If this is the last time he sees it, will it have been worth it?

Warnings/tags: DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT -- psuedo-incest | adoptive father/adopted daughter incest | Jinx is nineteen years old | NSFW -- body worship, cunnilingus, blow jobs, vaginal fingering, missionary, multiple orgasms, hand jobs, top Silco, bottom Jinx | I've made characters use a condom for the first time ever | porn with feelings | post coital snuggling | corpses | fucking with a corpse in the room

i’m gonna say something controversial yet brave: sexuality labels are a convenient tool we use to define something that is undefinable

I know some people view Ricken as the "self-centred and bumbling but ultimately well-intentioned buffoon" archetype but I personally think he's a genuinely bad person. Imagine being so completely self-obsessed and delusional that you can't deprioritise yourself even for the length of time it takes for your baby to be born. Imagine your integrity being so fragile that attention from a beautiful woman and a paycheck is enough for you to dilute and inverse every moral you've ever proclaimed to hold, insofar as you willingly produce propaganda for the company that you know for a FACT has malicious intent (including the imprisonment and torture of your brother-in-laws innie). Being such an insufferable prick that you attend no-dinner dinners and host readings of your own shitty literature and book birthing cabins, without even for a SECOND pausing to make space for what your wife and the mother of your child might want. She rolls her eyes behind your back; she has to make apologies for you when you leave the room. She is beautiful, intelligent, funny, kind, and she is giving away pieces of herself (helloooo innie/outie metaphor) to make more room for your ever-inflating ego, and you don't even have the decency to notice. I need to take him out with a shotgun.

The Afton’s different ways of parenting in FNAF

I think that “Anakin was a slave child who was groomed by Palpatine and raised by someone who wasn’t ready to take on a child, thereby leaving him in a social limbo state where he’s surrounded by people but only has a few close confidants, with the one he trusts the most actively trying to take advantage of him”

and

“Anakin was taught right from wrong from a young age, first by his mother and then by Kenobi, but any time he was presented with a choice, actively CHOSE WRONG EVERY SINGLE TIME”

are two sentences that can, should, and MUST coexist to fully understand Anakin Skywalker as a character

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.
