(tw: proshipping & pedophilia)

opening the abigail tag on ao3 and seeing a proshipping fic between abigail and joey | anna-maria ruined my day, maybe even my entire week actually.

how can someone miss or straight up ignore the point of the fucking movie this hard.

there’s absolutely no ambiguity about abigail and joey | ana lucia’s bond and their last interaction in the movie. there’s nothing up for interpretation. no shades of grey.

if you interpret their relationship as anything other than platonic (frenemies/reluctant allies to possibly actual allies) and/or found family, you either have the worst media literacy skills in the entire world or you need to have your computer drive checked by the fbi or both.

I understand that people in the community are trying to help, but I really wish they would stop responding to criticisms or confusion about Connor's character development with, "Just play the homestead missions!" These missions only showcase a different side of Connor's character when he isn't burdened with the fate of his people or the Brotherhood during a time of war. This response only reinforces the perception that his character doesn't change. I'm also tired of people on both sides of the discussion making excuses for those not paying enough attention during the main story. We have to be better.

Not so gentle reminder, there is no place for radical far-right extremists in this blog. If you are a fascist or hindutva-badi please fuck off from this blog. I'm utterly disgusted with you and want to do nothing with your bullshit. DNI if you lack basic critical thinking, historical consciousness, decency or humanity.

Simone De Beauvoir should be to feminists what Sigmund Freud is to psychologists: important to read from and learn about for the context of the modern field but fiercely detested for their sexist BS infiltrating our society.

A year ago today you went away Now you come back cryin', cryin' Darling, please, let me in But I don't love you I don't need you anymore So go lean on so go cry on Somebody else's door

Go cry on somebody else's shoulder I'm somewhat wiser now And one whole year older I sure don't need you now i don't love you Anymore

Go ahead and cry go ahead and let the tears Fall out of your eye Let 'em fall on your dress Who cares if it makes a mess? I gave you my high school ring Down at the malt shop, baby We had a teen-age love I thought it was charp It was really so grand but You cheated me baby And told some dirty lies about me Fooled around with all those other guys That's why I had to get my khakis pressed I sure don't need you now And I don't love you anymore (Well, I don't love you)

[Verse 2] Oh, my darling, go ahead and cry Go ahead and let the tears fall out of your eye (Darling) Let 'em fall on your dress, who cares if it makes a mess? I gave you my high school ring at the root beer stand We had a teen-age love, baby I thought it was charp, it was really so grand, but

You cheated me, baby, and told some dirty lies about me Fooled around with all those other guys That's why I had to get my khakis pressed I sure don't need you now, and I don't love you anymore

Whether it was, I don't know Whether it was my shoes or my shirt (Oh, baby) maybe I didn't button the Top button or something (Oh, baby) Maybe it was the sticker on the Back of my black Cadillac limousine That says Mary Poppins is a junkie

I don't know why some Christians are homophobic and transphobic. It makes me sad, and it makes no sense! They say the excuses 'God says homosexuality is bad' and 'its Adam and Eve, not Adam and steve' when those excuses don't even make sense?

First of, Adam and Eve were banished from God's Garden of Eden for being tempted by the Devil and disobeying God. They were the ones who introduced Original Sin and evil into our world. Why are you saying all relationships should be based on the one which disobeyed God? If anything, Christians should strive not to be like Adam and Eve. I'm definitely not saying that everyone should be gay, but shouldn't be like Adam and Eve in personality and dedication.

The second thing is the bible excuse. Unfortunately, there are lines in the bible which are against homosexuality however, there is nothing about it in the ten commandments which all Christians should live their life by. Also, in the new testament Jesus made a new commandment. It didn't abolish the old ones but more of a an overview on all of them. It was to love one another.

This is the most important thing of all. Christians and other people of religion should be caring for all of the creatures on God's earth, including humans. God made all animals, created the power of free will for Adam and Eve so all of us do have it as well. ( I will explain more about free will in another post). We should use that power for good. It doesn't seem like a power but the choice to be compassionate is a vital power.

We wouldn't be humans without free will. All humans are born the way they are born and we should all love each other for who we are. Christians who hate anyone from a minority can't claim to be true Christians. Gay, trans, non binary, genderfluid, bisexual, pansexual, asexuals and cis gendered and hetrosexual people are all people. There are no races apart from the human race. There are of course different nationalities and cultures but we all are one race. We should stand together and love each other.

This is why I dislike Christians who hide behind their religion for an excuse to spread evil.

Oh, my fucking fuck, I can't stress this enough. Could go on and on for years about this.

Can we please establish some media literacy and critical thinking skills in this society?

thinking about how the world would be better if more people understood the differences between 'the author failed to tell the story they wanted to tell' and 'the author told the story they wanted to tell, but they told it badly' and 'the author told the story they wanted to, and they told it well, but it wasn't the story I wanted to read'

i’ve started babysitting for a VERY christian family which is great because they pay me a lot of money but as someone who was raised almost completely agnostic it’s kind of insane. the 2 year old keeps asking me to read her stories from the bible. (why are we reading david and goliath to a 2 year old????) the 5 year old told me today that he was going to bring his legos to heaven with him. he also has repeatedly told me that the lego spaceships he builds are stronger than jesus. (not sure what to say to that. do i deny it??? are things allowed to be stronger than jesus??) had to stop myself mid sentence today because i almost told them im not going to heaven which would DEFINITELY have caused several meltdowns. they’re also both completely fascinated by my nose ring

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!

1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.

2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.

3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes

it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.

It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.

so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know
