Been so focused on Twiyor lately that I almost forgot about this particular development

[raineydaywrites]

Spy x family is very very good because there's a bit where a far right terrorist group says that they want to start a war and a main character responds by saying to them "have any of you ever killed anyone before? Have you ever been killed before? Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell? Have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh? Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings in a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown-off piece of your lover stuck to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry that you tried to eat tree bark? Or stewed a pot of human flesh? Have you ever convinced yourself that your enemy was subhuman so you could...slaughter them like animals? Have you ever been so haunted by shame and regret afterwards that you cried until you vomited? Have you ever had friends who did the same, and then took their own lives? Did you learn nothing about war at your university?!"

and that's the same volume where they adopt a dog that can see into the future

Ostania's normalest family

The next day, at a hastily thrown together birthday party at the Forger residence:

[raineydaywrites]

OMG FINALLY.

Father-daughter shenanigans where they're both in on it and conspiring. Thank you Endo-sensei for giving us this brilliant, evil shared look.

Twilight, you can't ever leave this girl. She's absolutely yours. 😂😭

loid saying "our family" on his thoughts is so important to me

[raineydaywrites]

loid blowing his cover as a spy first time he meets desmond cuz of course he didn't account for MIND READING to be a problem, and now sigmund suspecting anya is subject #7 which means he definitely also suspects that loid is not her real father, and, probably by association, nor are he and yor a real couple...... my man is SO cooked

[raineydaywrites]

That's the face of a man who remembers that he may have committed a teeny-tiny breach of scientific ethics or two.

[raineydaywrites]

Character development spotted : father and daughter scheming together (for the mission)

[raineydaywrites]

That's the face of someone that has not only seen the horrors, but must have made quite a few of them

[raineydaywrites]

They’re 300% real father and daughter😭

[raineydaywrites]

it’s fucked up that they never let sokka decapitate anyone onscreen just because avatar: the last airbender happens to be a Y-7 children cartoon that aired on nickelodeon . i think he deserved to

[raineydaywrites]

"that doesn't sound sincere- it sounds rehearsed" is one of the most devastating and fucked-up statements you can make to anyone in the neurodivergent/ADHD/Autistic/Schizophrenic/Disordered Personality sphere. yeah bitch it's rehearsed. because i wanted to get it right when i said it

[raineydaywrites]

Ridiculous that we can just know so many words. That's so many things to remember.

[raineydaywrites]

Genuinely one of the funniest set of dialogue options in this entire game tbh

[raineydaywrites]

I hate that the "x reader" or "x Y/N" style of fanfic has become sooooo popular, partially because it's just not for me and partially because they clog general non-fic related tags and those authors seem allergic to the "read more" function on this website, but ALSO because I believe that you should have to go through the trouble of creating an absolutely batshit self-insert character, with a backstory that makes no sense and a name that doesn't really gel with the aesthetics of the universe. Legolas and Aragorn should be in a love triangle with Kylie, the angsty sixteen year old half-human half-elf and inexplicable tenth member of the Fellowship. Do the WORK. If everyone was doing "Y/N" nonsense back in the day, there would be no Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, or probably Bella Swan. These are important women. They deserve to be named, confusingly and with no regard for the fictional world they inhabit.

there's been a specific thought i've been having about vader and disability because on one hand, the analysis that obi-wan is being ableist by connecting his prosthetics with his immorality is correct. he's not "more machine than man", he's still a human man.

but on the other hand, vader's prosthetics are absolutely a violation. he's not given the means to improve his quality of life, his disability is being forcibly corrected into functioning just enough to be sent to war. that's the equivalent of his humanity being stripped from him, bit by bit, with the sole purpose of being the weapon of the fascist state. and this process started already at geonosis because he lost an arm, got a metal one and was shipped out as soon as possible. the prosthetics themselves aren't evil but the concept of your human body hitting human limits through the damage the life of constant fighting inflicts on you and instead of being allowed the simple dignity to be disabled by this, you're built back up with foreign objects and entirely isolated from people with the sole purpose that you can work more....... idk that's pretty evil to me. the dehumanisation that happens to vader is directly tied to his disability and obi-wan's mournful about it because he does see it as a visual representation of a ruination of a person, he can connect the dots and understand a lot of anakin has been ripped away and replaced with a person he can't love, but his problem lies with the fact he sees vader as beyond recovery, physically or spiritually which is simply not true. he's mourning a person who is still alive which is ironically a trap many people fall into when their loved one gets a life changing disability. or yk. commits mass murder i'd imagine
