#we took a stand and said

[whumpfish]

You are so right, OP. I have been going absolutely out of my mind seeing the rampant ableism that has invaded my community. I was quiet at first. A lot of us were. A lot of us didn't rock the boat because a lot of us are disabled and life has taught us that rocking the boat gets you thrown out of it, and this has been our last refuge.

Recently I've started going off in the notes, making polite suggestions in posts. Losing my temper sometimes but never rocking the boat too hard. And when I do speak I see things like "glad someone put this into words." Because we oldbies are used to being shouted down and talked over. We're literally here because we go through it every day irl. Some of us built a bamboo raft and quietly cut the line--and I do not blame those who did, it's fucking pavlovian at this point--and the rest have been biting our tongues when the tongues that need to get bitten aren't ours.

But you're right. Tolerance is not a moral absolute; it is a peace treaty. I'm an historian. I know better than most what comes of peace treaties built on tolerance turning into policies of appeasement. I am done being fair to unfair voices. My responses will be posts and reblogs, my notes simply author's notes.

Thank you, OP, for putting this into words.

the thing i love about bill cipher is that even after i've learned all of this stuff about him, seen him at the most vulnerable he'll ever get, seen him at his most innocent, i still can't give a flying fuck about trying to justify his actions. yes he's traumatized, yes he was twisted into what we know today, and while it gives a semblance of context to why he did what he did, it doesn't matter. he still ruined ford's life. he still drove and baited multiple humans to suicide. he still tormented every human he saw as his ticket out of the consequences of his own actions. he still took delight in his actions. he was willing to commit genocide for fuck's sake!!! (freezing all of the humans into statues). trying to explain away what he did does not get rid of what he did, but it certainly puts it in perspective. you won't be catching me being a bill apologist any time soon <3

I think what people don't understand is that Joe just can't take money from someone.

When for so long you have had only yourself to depend on, and built yourself a career and everything by working yourself to bone, it becomes a habit. It becomes a part of your life. Now of course there are friends who will help you! They will be there for you, no questions asked but you are always going to depend on yourself first. Always going to work and exhaust yourself first.

Which is why it hurt so much when Ming destroyed his career. Because it was something Joe built for himself. It was an oppourtunity Joe got after being decades under Tong's shadow. It was the fruit of his labour. There truly was nothing Ming could have done after he sabotaged Joe to make it right. Because it doesn't work like that, not for Joe at least...

Also if I am to talk about it with a dose of reality ( yeah, yeah i know this show has many plotholes but bear with me), then I would say that the world is a cruel place for those who are not born into wealth and I think some characters, are written in a way from which we can infer that.

The world will think of someone in a certain way, just because they are not that well established or on the highroad to success (remember that once Sol thought Joe wanted to take advantage of him. Like yeah he had his reasons and he didn't really know Joe well, but still...).

I don't know how to say this without sounding awkward but no matter what, Joe cannot just take handouts. Because someone, somewhere might say something. Might think something. Joe said to Ming once that he might not be as good as Tong, but he had his dignity. Ultimately it comes to that...Joe won't take a monetary favour in the way of a handout.

This is why he will say no to Wut, he will say no to Sol, but he will say yes to Ming. Because that 5 million baht is what he will be earning himself. It is a job. Being with Ming, is as much a job as it is being a stuntman for Tong or a model in a music video.

Has it ever been confirmed that Bayonetta has met Enzo's family? Because ngl, I would love it if Bayonetta and Mrs. Enzo were friends.

Can you imagine it?? Enzo has all these issues with Bayo and is getting caught up in her and Jeannes' constant fight with Paradiso. Meanwhile, his wife absolutely loves his new mysterious boss, who is the perfect combination of classy and sassy. Literally the best woman to be friends with.

Idk. I know most likely that they haven't met, but I just really like this idea.

(It's probably best to add; I'm only just replacing Bayonetta 2 recently after years, and I haven't played the third game, so I probably am missing quite a few details 😅)

Took my irl friend out bc she’s been asking my opinions of her favorite characters Halsin, Astarion and Gale and I told her I haven’t willingly talked to a man in this game in months

i keep getting tiktoks of these younger gen z kids referencing a time they did something relating to fandom in public and now they're embarrassed by it and everytime i see one i sit there thinking over all of middle and high school and having genuinely 0 moments that i feel embarrassed by, like i definitely did a lot of shit these kids would be embarrassed by but i think these are all just really fucking funny

also photographic evidence of the kinda kid i was. these are from 2014/15 when i was in 8th grade

-desolation row one shot(still on wattpad gerard way/reader smut)

-twerk it on (mcr crack fanfic no longer on wattpad but i have another fic in my library called twerking in taco bell which definitely ALSO used for my reading log)

-frank iero must die(a serial killer/assassin frerard fic, still on wattpad)

-hair (really vague maybe a phanfic? nowhere in my wattpad library rip)

my binder i used in 7th grade i had a blue one that looked pretty similar to this for 8th grade but idk where it went, also the parts i scribbled out are my full legal name i had written on it. i wrote it normally and then the big spot is where i wrote my name REALLY BIG in elysian code from the vladimir tod books. also the lines are from when i used an exacto knife to cut up some papers and forgot that my binder was underneath

in conclusion yall can now see why im so shameless about talking about shigaraki the way i do

I guess not enough people speak both spanish and english for them to write crossmare or cream fics where they're bilingual (cause following the idea that characters and creators share a nationality, both the twins and cross are hispanic) and whatnot, so I guess it is my duty as a person who speaks both to write something about that at some point smh
