they should do a scientific study on how much I laughed and cried during this movie

In relation to that poll i would like to inform you all that for two days i have been living amidst a scene of psychological warfare in which i had given troja a deer chew that sparta had, while i was distracted, walked over and taken from troj and placed in the middle of the living room floor (but at such an angle from the coffee table i havent seen it). and then gone back to her spot next to mine on the sofa. troja has then, unwilling to get on sparta's bad side, not been able to cross the living room. she has come in, stood at the invisible barrier, ive called her over, sparty has set her laser eyes on her, she has walled back out.

two days. a 5cm piece of dried meat. this lasted two days.

it's theeee casual yet proprietary way bucky puts his hand on buck's knee. claiming him like when he renamed him at first sight. it's gale's posture like he's forgotten possibly how to breathe and he won't move a muscle because that might look like he's uncomfortable with bucky's hand on his knee (and why) or because that might mean bucky pulls his hand away (...). it's bucky gesturing and talking to other people so this is in PUBLIC poor gale. it's bucknbucky sitting close to each other always and gale wants it so much he'll never ask for it or initiate in anyway.

YOU GET IT. YOU GET IT. YOU GET IT!!!!

a piece i did for aleena over on twitter in lieu of stickers from my raffle, given that she already owns most of them LOL

they requested flug in the camp leader outfit from the Elmore short, and given that that's probably my favourite short i was more than happy to oblige!

(considering making that middle one into a sticker... he's just so cuuuuute)

So I watched death's game and unlocked a new kink...

Now I need to get slapped by Lee Jae Wook.

Obsessed with how Luke clocked the Emperor’s weakness after a two minute conversation with him. “You’re overconfidence is your weakness,” says Luke to the man whose every plan had succeeded, who believes he is prepared for everything, who keeps his back to Anakin Skywalker as he’s torturing his son, so believing in the fact that Anakin will never turn against him that he is wholly unprepared for when he does.

What do you think about Gortash's relationship towards winter?

He probably hated it as a child, never warm, even if his parents could afford light up fireplace he would not be welcomed anywhere nearby.

But I wonder if in all the neverending heat of Avernus in House of Hope, he for a while missed the winter, the ability to feel cold...

Of course, ust for him to quickly remember upon his return why he always hated winter so much.

ummm i just had the wildest shiny luck ever...?! THREE resets into a hunt for a shiny hgss starter, this little golden chikorita appeared. she was not shy in the slightest... she showed up and she turned out and i LOVE her for that.

since you see 3 starter pokemon per reset in hgss, i saw 9 starters total! nine. dear god. i'm still in shock. shoutout to my mom, who came up with the name 'buttercup' teehee.

this hunt is actually part of another long-term shiny hunt challenge that i want to take on! i'll talk more about it under the cut. :3c

ever since i wrapped up my leafgreen badge quest hunts (still working on the plot and training everyone up!!!), i've been trying to decide on my next full odds shiny hunt challenge. i knew that i wanted to revisit my fav region - johto - but decided that i'd take a break from the badge quest format. i just wanted to Shake Things Up A Bit, you know? after going back and forth on a lot of ideas - from dream teams to monotype challenges - i finally settled on something that i am really, really vibing with.

as a lot of you know, silver is my favourite pokemon character. he's been my fav ever since i played silver version as a little kid!!! so i decided that i'd name my character 'silver' and that i'd shiny hunt for the entirety of his team. i decided to take it a step further and include all of the pokemon that he's ever had across all of the games.

to be clear, it means that i need a shiny of EACH of these pokemon. i want the full johto trio, all 3 of those legendaries (especially ho-oh, given the amazing pure hearts and rainbow wings event in pokemas ;;), and a shiny tyranitar (who i will be hatching eggs for lmao).

it's definitely going to be a difficult challenge but i'm really excited about it, because it already means a lot to me on a conceptual level. it's a fun way of showing my appreciation for silver, johto, AND pokemon as a whole. :D

i actually didn't mean to start this challenge at all today... buttercup appeared while i was trying to acclimate myself with ds soft resets LMFAO like i was FULLY still in setup mode - so i am taking that as a fortituous little sign.

i'll be doing soft resets for totodile and cyndaquil in my spare copy of soulsilver and, once they join me, i'll trade them over to my main file where chikorita is vibing away!

an unnecessary reminder i will go to bat any day of the week for james sunderland.

I'm going insane my notes are full of people responding to the communes post going like "this is why we need a state to prevent abuse"

HOW'S THAT STATE-PREVENTING-ABUSE THING GOING? PRETTY GREAT I DON'T THINK.

seriously this is what gets my fucking back up about people in opposition to anti-statism or anti-carceralism they're always like 'oh can you propose a way to 100% prevent abuse or violence' and it's like. Insert I, Robot gif here. Can you?

like I'm not complaining about the lack of attention to safeguarding and justice in anarchist communities because anarchism is particularly bad at it! I'm complaining about it because tackling the issue requires acknowledging that it does exist in every community we try to build and that we have to speak up and deal with it proactively.

abuse happens in anarchist spaces, in socialist spaces, in marxist-leninist-maoist spaces, in capitalist spaces, in religious fundamentalist spaces, in feudalism, in whatever fucking system of authorities you wanna name. the question is how we deal with it and anarchism is deeply imperfect in that but so is every other system I've seen and anarchism is pointing at the better goal, I think - a method of community accountability which focuses on harm reduction, desystematising, and healing rather than on punishment, revenge or cycles of violence.

we're not there yet and we will probably never build a 100% foolproof system where abuse and interpersonal harm never occur. but frankly neither will any other system, human interactions are complicated and messy and sometimes there will be shitshows - our priorities are to reduce the number, severity, fallout and normalisation of those shitshows and figure out ways to prevent, react and support healing.

like here's one key fucking thing ok. I have found the way that anarchist groups I've been in have handled abuse allegations really traumatic and overwhelming and triggering. but that's largely been because I have some faith in the approach and it hurts a lot more to fuck up when you have hope.

but you are fooling your damn selves if you think going through the police or the state is less traumatic and overwhelming tbh. reporting and going through the court system is notoriously retraumatising and miserable for survivors, even when it's done with empathy and support. it also Does Not Work. punitive justice actively intensifies cycles of abuse and trauma.

obviously like. the main problem in these notes is that inexplicably people reblogging my post seem to believe the core thesis of anarchism is sunshine, rainbows and the milk of human kindness not like. hard graft to build tailored systems to meet community need. and you are wrong about that. anarchism has never been about 'building a community of morally pure sweethearts who wouldn't hurt a fly' it's about taking responsibility yourself, as an individual, for the wellbeing of your community, and working together collectively to identify what needs to change and what systems would create that change.

but the secondary problem is a lack of fucking imagination. people act as if an idea for change not being utterly bulletproof is a reason to throw the whole concept away, as if existing systems are less imperfect. babies, bathwater, my guys.

If I say 'this part of how we're organising is likely to present the risk of abuse' that doesn't mean 'we should stop our whole approach to organising' it means 'we should take stock of why that risk is there and figure out how to adapt to manage it.' Criticising your ideas and approaches is a vital part of building a better version of them and it's really frustrating to have any critical appraisal met with a barrage of SEE THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD FULLY ABANDON THIS IDEA FOREVER

like fuck man how are you planning to build a better system if you can't iterate ideas, criticise, finetune, adapt, reiterate, problematise and adjust, and talk about what the fail points might be? how are you planning to build a better world if you reject any attempt to suggest a replacement for the Totally Fucked Hellworld system unless it has already ironed out every flaw before being tried?

the reason I am talking about the cracks in a lot of anarchist ideas where abuse comes in is because I want anarchist ideas to work. I think they're good ideas. (not communes I don't think communes are good ideas I have been clear on this). I want a better, happier, less harm-filled, less abusive, more just world and I think the anarchist vision has the most elements to get us there so I want those elements to work, which means I want to identify what comes packaged in with those ideas that might be counterproductive. so we can do better. so that we can use the good ideas and dump out the elements that are likely to cause harm. you know. like how thinking works.

Watching Gunbuster for the first time, and I love how the show uses its sci-fi elements to examine the "traumatized soldier's return to a home they no longer recognize" trope from a new angle. Plays a similar role in the broader themes of the Horrors of War, but the relativistic space combat shifts the site of that change: the soldiers are stuck in their moment of trauma and the rest of the world has moved past them. A shift in reference frames, if you will. Instead of soldiers returning with forced maturity to an unchanged civilian world that only has space for lives they've outgrown, the solders return with extremely-recent unprocessed trauma to a world that has already forgotten the cost of their service. Whatever the extent people back home feared the alien threat before, they've long since known about each victory, had time to move forward with ordinary lives, while our protagonists lack even old ill-fitting lives to return to after giving their lives up to the space military more literally than normal.

I have so much to do at work tomorrow, and I have to make a bunch of phone calls, and I have a wedding I'm in on Sunday, and so much is happening at once and my tummy hurts
