#these two things can and should coexist

[scuderia-hamilton]

Serious Art and humor cannot coexist in fiction without the second cheapening the first is one of those takes that makes me want to put my head through a wall

As the US election closes in and the final states take to the polls, I want to remind people to turn out and protest.

Yep, protest. Strike, disrupt, be out there on the street regardless of who you voted for or who wins. I expect to see you all out there demanding; access to abortion nation wide, protections against discrimination, free universal healthcare, a free Palestine, anti war, prison abolition, to increase the minimum wage, and for a US free of the electoral college and that counts votes as votes.

Yes, you can say "you should vote for Harris" and do so as much as you like, but do not forget the power you have through your own everyday actions away from the polls and that of protesting. Do not use the excuse that your right to vote means it's somehow more foundational or important than the right to protest. You have the ability to create direct action and that is so so important, please don't just expect a rich representative to stick to their promises every time you vote; you have power too, never forget that.

This system will not change until we, the people, make it. There is NO representative that can ever change the system that allowed them in, and likewise; this system will never allow a candidate that would stop it from continuing and/or ensuring its designated purpose of oppression and subjugation. Resist, regardless of the results.

Long live the resistance.

I can't really draw what's on my mind so here is the blueprint of my vision instead:

I would just like to take a moment to acknowledge how CRAZY it is that Cas broke Dean's trust in 6x20, "The Man Who Would Be King"

Dean "trust issues" Winchester.

Dean "literally had no friends or relationships that weren't his dad's first in the first three or four seasons besides one night stands because 'in this line of work, we can't have relationships hold us back'" Winchester.

Dean "This is your problem, Dean. You have no faith." Winchester.

Dean who has HORRIBLE, childhood trauma induced trust issues and one of his defining problems is that he has no faith. He GOT faith. He GOT trust. He MADE it. And he built that. Just to put it all into Cas and believing him.

And Cas is the one who broke it.

The teary-eyed looks in both of their eyes are gonna haunt me for days.

sorry but i have a couple more things to say about the joost stuff and it might be an unpopular take here but i really don't like how some people are reducing the allegations to "grown man having sex" or saying stuff like "happy for whoever gets to bounce on it" like....that's not the point....no one gives a fuck about a 27 year old grown ass man having a sex life LMFAO the issue here are the alleged lies and manipulation, that's a WHOLE different story. we're talking about serious stuff here and it lowkey pisses me off how some people have completely missed the point.

and also, the way that some twt fans were ready to jump at other people's throats when some decided to leave the fandom is just...yikes. like yeah i'm sorry if someone i'm a fan of is being accused of being a disgusting person ofc i wouldn't wanna support them anymore??? again, these are really serious accusations and i think it's a perfectly normal reaction??

now, let me clarify that i don't wanna come across as overly critical or try to make it seem like i'm accusing joost or claiming that those allegations are true. i don't know shit and it seems like they've been cleared up for the most part?? i'm still confused, honestly. but yeah, that's all. just a couple more thoughts i had to get off my chest.

not sure it's my post to make particularly, but I do fucking hate how the concept of white guilt gets weaponized within white people ingroups to throw at each other in order to goad each other into emotional passivity, detachement and inaction, it's just so extremely not what the concept is about initially and is actually still an extension of white guilt it turns out!!! as it's still reacting to that idea and concerned by trying to sever oneself from its perceived effects, regardless of what those are and what they do and what bigger picture they exist in!!!! anyway.

Also thinking about how the devnotes on Minthara's dialogue acknowledges her and Durge as both being victims of cult brainwashing. Idk I just think it's neat that the game recognizes that having committed atrocities for a cult and being a victim of one are not mutually exclusive

[mordecaispe]

remember through all of this that it's important to support victims. also remember through all of this that it's important to do outside research if you're skeptical of a claim or a story that seems fabricated. believing things blindly is how things like the situation with kwite and orion happened. it's not disrespectful to research things you're unsure of, not doing so is how misinfo spreads, and with the waycthis misinfo spreading resulting in actual innocent people being harassed? yeah, no. give support where support is due, but critical thinking is important as well.

I don’t think people utilize Dick spending the latter half of his childhood under Bruce’s guardianship enough. Like, yes, his core childhood memories are in the circus with his parents, but kids don’t often have a grasp on money until they’re in the double digits.

I saw a post where Tim just pulls out a couple hundred dollar bills, and I want that for Robin-era Dick too. Dick didn’t realize that his weekly allowance was enough to feed a small family for a whole month because all of his civilian classmates have approximately the same if not higher allowances because they’re all in the same wealth bracket and a $100 pineapple is a perfectly normal visiting gift. To add a little bit of flavor, Dick generally has a very skewed perception of how much things should cost. $100 pineapple? Completely normal. It’s just a nice gift. $400 sweater? They’re not items he had to think about purchasing as a kid, especially since the circus kids cycled through hand-me-downs. He generally assumed that all clothes are investment pieces (quiet wealth) and had zero concept of fast fashion. The fancy crystal chandelier? Definitely expensive, and he really shouldn’t break it, but it’s not like it would cost an arm and a leg to replace, right? Bruce built him an indoor trapeze set in the next week.

But $17 ticket to the local movie theatre? Horrendously overpriced. He vividly remembers the circus tickets were only $3 per adult and free for children under 12. Meanwhile, carnival food is like $20 for a corn dog. Dick always hesitates when paying for the movies because it feels like highway robbery, but he doesn’t bat an eye at the movie theater food prices.

I think it’s generally funny if the three Robins who’ve led their respective Teen Titans all have this little “quirk” where they just unironically carry hundred dollar bills. Tim is from the same social circles as Bruce, and Damian is something along the lines of a literal prince.

I keep thinking about that panel of Dick not having a credit score because Alfred then Starfire handled his finances.

why does everybody think this post is like a call to action to abolish 2fa. its called Bitching and Complaining. like it sucks that if my phone is dead or i lose it or i change numbers i cant get into my email on my laptop and that it assumes everyone has access to a phone number so its prohibitive when its made mandatory and overall its also just mildly annoying !

first they made it mandatory to log in everywhere. create an account to download your free template Log in to access resource give us your email nowwwww.

I watched the first episode of Stranger Things and episode 7x10 (Death's Door) of Supernatural and the combination of a cast of exciting new characters and a new world to discover AND Bobby's death has me fucked up in the head.

obv making an au that detracts from the actual story of mouthwashing can water down the painful truth that its writing gives the player but also theres nothing wrong with giving anya a happy ending.

[ashmacg]

This is the way.

Haters gonna hate

[pierregaslays]

believing that liam’s family should be allowed to grieve his loss and not supporting an abuser are two things that can coexist btw
