when i say i like fedya dolokhov as a character, i mean that i like how dolokhov— an animalistic, misogynistic, antisemitic, cruel, bloodthirsty and venerated soldier of the battlefield— can somehow be viewed by his mother, sister, and close friends, as fedya— a good, righteous, and loving son who is fiercely devoted to his family and intimates. it’s just so Terrifying and Intriguing how such a Horrible Person is seen by a certain demographic as what he is— or is this all a facade?— and another as what he’s not— or is this who he pretends to be?

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and it’s taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, he’s sharp, he’s funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.
But Walz offers something that the other men in contention don’t that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.
He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but that’s not who we’re talking to. We’re talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didn’t line up with who a Democrat was, or didn’t feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.
He served in the military. He went to a state college. He’s your favorite teacher from your public high school. He’s your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. He’s the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.
He’s the neighbor who helps you jump your car. He’s your uncle who takes you hunting. He’s your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. He’s you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. He’s you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. He’s you when he says ‘it had to be me’ and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.
He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That it’s normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and you’re not a weirdo, are you?
That there’s a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they don’t have to default to being fucking weird.
I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and go… yeah, that’s me. That’s who I’m gonna be.

Ice king is a really good character because they intoduce him and you're like "haha what a freak what's wrong with him" and then the show goes "oh! You want to know? Let me show you :)" and you end up just sitting there like

@noneedtoamputate tagged me bc jess is the best! this is from a current work which is very self indulgent for the bestie sam. i hope she doesn't see this because it's supposed to be a surprise. LOOK AWAY. it is set in bastogne and involves time travel. i'll say no more.
Though some people remained a bit suspicious about Florence and Pete, mostly because of their odd clothes and their random appearance in the Ardennes, most of the company welcomed them because of Pete’s heroics in saving Julian. Strangely, though, everyone still seemed to be in character, and the reenactment showed no signs of stopping. That was some real dedication. Florence and Pete briefly discussed in hushed tones what their next moves should be.
For now, they were sort of stuck in this reenactment until someone showed them the way out. It was too cold in the air, somehow, to wander endlessly on this meticulously built stage. Sticking with these reenactors would be the smart, if weird, decision.
