i'm such a fake bart fan, i haven't even read a third of his appearances

To continue from my last post, an older Oscar maybe 20 or 21 who has spent most of his childhood being ignored.

Who can’t stand it when Morris greets his questions or remarks with silence. Can’t stand when he asks Weisel something and he doesn’t even look at him, too distracted with something else.

Morris who knows this, who knows how much Oscar hates it, how much it will almost immediately send him spiralling because suddenly he’s a kid again. morris who knows how easy it is to do when Oscar’s done something to piss him off because he doesn’t have a lot on his older brother who seems unshakeable but he has this, had their ma’s love

Oscar who hates that something so stupid can have so much of an effect on him, hates that it can immediately make him feel like that kid on the farm again, tugging on his ma’s skirt.

Oscar who has no issues making whoever pay attention to him.

"Jeez man, loosen up that collar, You seem Steamed! No need to take it out on me, Cylion! Look I was coming to check on you! Got a vibe, Y'know! What's got you so.... bitey and Feral?"

"Do not assume yourself a friend of mine that gets to know the intimate details of my life.

What I will tell you is something has apparently happened with my father, but he has not come out of his room and I do not make it a habit of barging into his private quarters. Out of respect."

happy disability pride month and once again, FUCK lazy subtitles. fuck the [speaks foreign language] instead of actually transcribing the words, fuck shortening sentences and changing whats been said for no reason, fuck censoring swearing in captions but not in audio and fuck anyone who says youre being 'too sensitive' for being upset about a lack of accessibility

the contrast of kris/player relationship between routes is absolutely hilarious

[darcyolsson]

huuuuge fan of little phrases you can add to the end of your sentences just for fun. "if you even care" and "btw" and "I fear" have done sooo much for my vocabulary. if you even care

saw this very [ben affleck depressed smoking image] comment and thought why does blue job / pink job sound like an established concept so I looked it up.....

what's next?? having a bank account is a blue job 💙🏦☺️ not being legally recognised as a person in your own right is a pink job 🩷🥰💅

i actually need to know people's thoughts on this because at least in my experience the answer to this has drastically changed since i was on tumblr in the 2010s and its driving me fucking insane

*im talking about fandom takes specifically. not someone being horribly evil about a real-life issue or or blatantly factually incorrect. literally just harmless fandom disagreements or differing interpretations of a text/character/etc.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.

A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.

slightly furious reminder that fish do in fact feel pain and do in fact experience fear and distress when in pain since people seem to love spreading the myth that fish don't feel pain. what is it with people assuming a creature is incapable of feeling pain or emotion just because it doesn't have complex facial muscles. come on gang

terrible news: the only way to find out if something you create is gonna be good or bad is to actually create it

[houseofmcallister]

Saw a tiktok of a guy saying he doesn’t feel comfortable talking to minors because he’s 19. And it’s just. I’m so fucking tired of this.

And like to be clear, I’m speaking as a victim of pedophilia when I say: We need to get over this collective fear of endangering children. Because holy shit, this stuff is getting out of hand.

The average person is not a threat to a child.

And also!!! It is actually really really good for kids to have friendships with adults that aren’t their family.

Having friendships with adults when you’re younger prepares you for adult life in a better way then only interacting with adults that are family members or teacher as well.

And also if there’s any sort of weird behavior happening with adults or teachers, it’s very helpful to have unrelated adults, you can go to, and also have a model for what normal adults are supposed to look like.

And also! You’re just making it way easier for pedophiles to prey on children when you completely avoid interacting with them as an adult. Because kids are naturally inquisitive and curious. They are going to want to interact with adults and they are going to want to ask questions. And if the only adult adults that are willing to interact and speak with them or adults who have ulterior motivations. Guess what’s gonna happen.

Also on a more general note. Having a model for what a normal healthy adult is supposed to look like makes it way easier for kids to be able to recognize and identify when adults in their personal life are being weird.
