#y'all are fucking useless

[m00sebaby]

there's something to be said about people voting for a man who can't string together a coherent sentence for the life of him because his brain is soup, who has threatened mass deportation, who has threatened a complete rollback of the rights we started to hope for and a literal convicted felon (mind you) all because a woman of color running the country seemed a bit too much for them.

I often feel like people forget that both Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu got fucked over in the transmitgation with Shen Yuan dying and being forced to live as someone to fix that person's mistakes and Shen Jiu being forced out of his body so someone could live his life better than he did. Both of them got the shit end of the deal, that's the whole point of it, Shen Yuan may have gotten his happy ending but he'll never be his own person and he's at the mercy of the system for the rest of his life and Shen Jiu never got a happy ending but now he'll never get tortured in the most cruel ways possible and live knowing he indirectly caused the death of the person he loved the most

Honestly, Yuki dying still makes no sense. Like, it genuinely baffles me that Gege killed her off, especially like that. You mean to tell me that she was a special grade sorcerer and was killed off that easily? Never mind that Gege didn't do anything to expound and build upon her character and just her as a person. This man ain't never beating those "I hate women" allegations. There's nothing nobody can say that can convince me that he doesn't. Look at how he treats Shoko for crying out loud! And she was friends with Satoru and Suguru, not to mention that her reversed technique is hella useful and interesting, but nope. Look at how certain parts of the fandom undermines her importance and relevance and just sidelines her to being a third wheel in a non canon relationship lmao as if those two weren't her best friends, as if they didn't mean anything to her.

nothing will ever be funnier to me than starting a job and having a coworker twice your age say they don't want petty work place drama

and then they regularly start petty work place drama

im so tired of modern comics making female characters all about the men in their life, like dickbabs is clearly forced, and now tom king is taking the clay origin and putting a man at the center of it.

THE LORE DAMP, THE LORE DAMP, THE LORE DAMP

"Mab was born when the world was young," The Thirstlewitch says. "In those days, we Folk were not so diminished as we are now, when there is so much iron. Our giants were as tall as mountains, our trolls like trees. And hags like myself held the power to bring all manner of things into being. Once a century, there is a convocation of hags, where we, the witches and enchanters, the smiths and makers, come together to hone our craft. It is not for outsiders, but Mab dared enter. She besought us for all that she wanted, the power to create. Not a mere glamour or little workings, but the great magic that we alone possessed. Most turned her away, but there was one who did not. That hag gave unto her the power to create from nothing. And in return, she was to take the hag's daughter and raise the witch child as her heir. At first, Mab did as she was bid. She took for herself the title of the Oak Queen, united the smaller Seelie Courts under her banner and began bestowing sentience on living things. Trees would lift their roots at her beckoning. Grass would scurry around, confusing her enemies. Faeries that had never existed before grew from her hands. And she raised three of the Shifting Isles of Elfhame from the sea."

Oak frowns at the dirt. "Has [ Cardan ] inherited some of her power ? Is that why he can - "

"Patience boy," Says the Thistlewitch. "Prince or not I will tell you in full or I will not tell you at all." [ . . . ] The Thistlewitch clears her throat and begins to speak again. "Mab called the child Mellith, which means 'mother's curse'. Not an auspicious beginning. And yet, it was only when her own daughter was born that she began to think of ways to weasel out of the bargain."

"Clovis, who ruled before my grandfather, Eldred."

The thistlewitch includes her head. "Indeed. In the end, it was a simple trick. Mab boasted again and again that she had discovered a means for Clovis to rule until the rumors finally found their way to the hag. Enraged, she swore to kill Clovis. And so, the hag crept up on where the child slept in the night and fell upon the girl she found there, only to discover she had murdered her own daughter. Mab had bested her. But the hag was able to put a final enchantment on her daughter's heart as it beat its last, for her daughter was a hag too and magic sang through her blood. The hag imbued the heart with the power of anihilation, of destruction, of unmaking. And she cursed Mab, so that piece of her child would be forever tied to the queen's power. She would have to keep the heart by her side for her magic to work. And should she not, it's power would unmake all that she created.

As for Mab, you know the rest. She made an alliance with one of the solitary fey and founded the Greenbriar line. A trickle of her power passed down to her grandson, Eldred, granting him fecundity when so much of Faerie is barren, and to the current High King, Cardan, who pulled a fourth isle from the deep. But a large amount of Mab's power stayed trapped with her remains, confined to her reliquary."

THIS IS HUGE THIS IS HUGE, THIS IS HUGE.

a tumblr post in 2024:

OP, a fairly reasonable take: look guys i'm mad about Biden funding genocide too, but things will only get worse if we let the Republican Party win! they will literally kill even more people. #VoteBlueNoMatterWhat!

a nineteen year old, probably: OR WE COULD BLOW UP THE SYSTEM!! I know how to make bombs!

OP, suddenly an insane person: look at this idiot. trans people dying is YOUR PERSONAL FAULT and not at all the fault of the constant and intentional failure of Democrats to ever actually protect the rights of marginalized groups in the face of rising fascism, while being all too happy to hold those protections over our heads in order to mobilize us as a reliable voting bloc!

useless reactionary liberal: your glorious revolution doesn't exist, sweatie. Real Leftists™ would never resort to violence. you guys are basically Trump voters! opposing The State "for cool anarchist reasons" is LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME THING as QAnon attacking Congress on January 6th! leftist groups like the Black Panthers carrying guns "for cool anarchist reasons" is LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME THING as the NRA! theres actually zero difference between good & bad things, you imbecile. you fucking moron.

me, in the notes: hey does anyone in this thread smoke weed?

[mcalhenwrites]

I'm not going to pretend it doesn't make me angry that I spend months and years trying to peddle my work to make ends meet, that I spend so much time mentioning my books and comms and everything, and people ignore that consisently... But the moment I finally break under the hopelessness - when it's obvious that it's fucking futile, that almost no one deems my work good enough to share with anyone else - suddenly they're concerned and scolding me. I'm working several jobs, bathing, generally keeping things clean, and I do this with several health problems including chronic pain. I found out that one of my cysts is growing and I may need to have it surgically removed. Which means potentially missing work to recover. Which means more money I lose. I spend so much time crawling out of the hole and it goes ignored, but the moment I just give up bc I don't have any strength left, suddenly that's my fault and I'm mentally sick. And that kind of makes me wish my entire situation upon people, and when they whine that it's hard, well fuck you, you thought I could ace it so surely you can, babe! I hate being angry about this, but it's just so exhausting to tell people who accuse me of not trying that I HAVE I HAVE SO FUCKING HARD AND YOU DID NOT PAY ATTENTION THEN Or you know you're attempting to gaslight me by claiming I didn't try despite that I obviously have worked my ass off trying, and that's so much fucking worse

[futuristictheoristcowboy]

i think its funny that in good omens some 11 year old swearing technically did more in stopping Armageddon successfully than the demon and angel main characters who spent the entire series trying to stop the end of the world. like girl, they didn't even get trialed for saving the earth, they got put on trial for being gay with each other really

[trashquisitor-shirozora]

I know myself better than anyone, and I know I need to stop when I'm fucking dreading watching episode 2/the entire rest of the season. I didn't realize how much trust I lost in Favloni after TBOBF and everything I read leading up to and after the season premiere dropped until now and I see no point in wasting my incredibly valuable time and energy watching the episodes and dreading every decision that's made. I'm done with my "avoid spoilers" experiment. I think I'm going to watch everybody else's reactions until the season is over before deciding to watch. I already have a fucking massive backlog of shows from 2020 to now anyway, what's one more?

What I ship is a pipe dream and that's fine, that's what fandom is all about, but I need proof that I'm not wasting my time this season. The story I want to tell has already veered far, far away from canon and I'd rather filter and cherry pick what I want from canon to pad and bulk up that story than to subject myself to the same fucking bullshit I've been watching on my screens for 20+ years.

I hate the cpunk discourse more than anything, but I think it deserves to be said that a large group of physically disabled people are not, excuse me for saying this, "crippled". There are those who are not amputated, don't need mobility aids, who don't have chronic illnesses, etc. and are still physically disabled.

And I say this as a person who doesn't use a mobility aid and walks fine and the disability that causes me to be physically debilitated is not my physical disability. My mental disability causes much more physical struggle than my physical disability ever will.

And that deserves to be said. I wish people would maybe understand the line between physical and mental disability is thin as a sheet of paper and translucent as a pane of glass. But, I feel like being with my physical disability, I'm not allowed to use the c word or be a part of cpunk, even if I technically would be allowed.

So, even if I am a part of this group, technically, I am much more disabled by my mental disabilities and that is so real. And honestly, I feel like I'm gonna be called all types of shit, that yeah, I should fuck off and never use this word. But it doesn't change the fact that it's not applicable to all physically disabled people. And I'm calling that shit out because it's stupid.

It’s not my business if some internet rando hates a character I love or misunderstands them, so long as their opinion doesn’t come to affect the actual character/story in any way.
