whenever right wing people talk about “parental rights” they are talking about property rights. they are arguing for further political and legal enshrinement of their children as their literal actual property

When faced with the imminent fear of death people instinctively call out for their mom. A primal reaction, driven by the need of comfort and sense of protection the figure of our mother gives us. Ideally, a mother should be the safest place for every child, the one who loves them more than anything, who will protect them no matter what. "Mom" means loved, "Mom" means safe.

Happy Mothers day to Sonic The Hedgehog!

the more I play the more I think lucanis basically knows it's illario who betrayed him right from the beginning (he's had a year in the ossuary to think. not that many people knew where he was going. when you ask him 'did Illario know you'd be on that ship' his only answer is the hardest flattest 'yes' you ever heard). so it's not so much about figuring out who the traitor is (because that's ludicrous. we all know. immediately. they didn't really bother to hide it lmao) as about methodically closing off every single avenue of denial lucanis has clung to that whole time with as much or little gentleness as you might prefer until he has no choice but to admit it. because the moment he has to admit it, he'll have to do something -- feel something -- about it. and that's such a catastrophic event in lucanis' inner landscape (he has had TWO people in this whole entire world up until now and will do anything to hold on to them with a heartbreaking child-like desperation, even at and especially through the detriment of his own self) that he'd rather just. not. what if we quite simply. didn't. what if we just stayed here in the emptiness where we can both pretend you didn't hurt me in a way I should never forgive. I have so much practice in that with caterina already it's always worked out great for everyone so far. (press x to fucking doubt but that's trauma logic for you lol)

after everything illario did, so much of the storm of lucanis' emotions around it is 'what the FUCK did you get yourself tangled up in this time and how do I get you out of this mess safely'. what's worse: the fact that your brother murdered you, or that he put himself in horrible danger doing so and thus exposed you to the risk of losing him forever. lucanis' heart certainly has an opinion here and it's fucking unhinged (affectionate)

the themes of dissociation in lucanis' character in general makes me feel nuts. allllll these contradictory messy things he needs to cut off from each other because they can't coexist or be easily reconciled inside him. but all remain stubbornly true separately anyway and will have their due one day. love and resentment. tenderness and fear and rage. terror and longing. love and freedom don't coexist. the burned out golden child anthem is playing in the background. he was always caterina's favourite and he has to keep striving to deserve that dubious honour with every breath he takes and then, presumably, mercifully, some day he will die and be excused and can rest. and until now he's suppressed all the -- natural, healthy, protective! -- negative feelings that threaten the few attachment relationships he actually has, at the cost of ever actually having his needs for connection and safety met and leaving his core self imprisoned and compromised. and spite goes 'what. no. that's dumb fuck that' (*spite voice* I do not understand that and even if I did I would not respect it) and does not allow him to fall back into that, which I think is what saves his life, ultimately. it took being possessed by a demon for lucanis to even contemplate telling anyone he loves 'no' in any way, but hey. whatever gets you there right lol

lucanis is dealing with the freeze response allll the way down baby. and he was even before the ossuary, that just turbo powered it and brought it to a breaking point way before it could happen naturally. but something was going to break eventually no matter what, and I'm just glad that in the end, through the power of friendship and also pure spite, it doesn't have to be him

whatever u do, dont think abt baby grace being loved and cherished so much by her parents who, despite not entirely knowing what they were doing at the time, knew for certain that they would love their baby as much and as hard as they could. dont think about karen chasity, tired and touched out but holding her baby girl in her arms because this is a life that was gifted to her, a baby so innocent and pure that she brought into this world with her husband at her side the entire time. dont think about mark chasity working as best as he can to provide for his small family, coming home after a long day and beelining for whatever room his wife is in, hoping to catch their daughter during one of her wake windows. baby grace, who looks almost exactly like her father, save for karens curl pattern. baby grace, who karen talks to all day long in order to keep herself sane throughout her postpartum because talking through her plans for the day is much better than overthinking and spiralling into anxiety. baby grace, who waddles into marks at-home office room and crawls into his lap to look at the different home interior plans on his desk while he works. little grace chasity with routine, with ambitions, hopes, and dreams, with steady support and a loving family. little grace chasity who has no idea whats to become of her before she even hits 20.

cowboy!caleb who teaches a cute city girl like you how to ride a horse.. when you try to get on and forget you're wearing a skirt, he takes off his hat and covers you in order to make sure your dignity isn't compromised.

you're nervous, and his mare, ambrosia (rosie), senses it and starts getting agitated — so he hops on behind you to calm the two of you down. he wraps his hands around yours, holding the reins and softly speaks, "whoa girl, you're scaring the lovely lady on your back."

somehow, the firm hold he has on your hands and the warmth of his chest against your back is grounding, and you're confident trying to give the mare a command again. "jog?" and the mare starts trotting suddenly — causing your back to collide with caleb's chest. you're quick to apologize, but you're met with a chuckle and a sultry whisper of "all good, doll. i think rosie likes ya already," against the shell of your ear.

you desperately need to thank your mom for pressuring you into joining her on her countryside trip.

"lando adopted franco uwu" no he didn't. he is only three years older. that man is not a father. he wants to fuck that guy.

I think the biggest tragedy of it all is that the only reason Eggman could be vulnerable to Stone is because he knew he was going to die and leave things unsaid otherwise.

The second biggest is how it took so much just to even say that the closest person in his life was his friend. And that he felt he needed to bury that under a joke.

[ cw: death mention / sibling death mention / isolation / ]

Thinking about how Leo’s portal and teleportation powers have both directly (and in one instance, indirectly) been the cause of him being separated from his brothers at least four times now.

There’s that time in Portal Jacked, where his inexperience leads to his portal being messed with and his brothers ending up in Tahiti.

There’s the Bad Timeline, where Leo’s portaling led to them losing the Key, therefore indirectly leading to the apocalypse and in turn, ending with Leo being the last of his brothers alive (though just for a few minutes.)

There’s him teleporting him and Krang into the Prison Dimension, cutting him off from his family so wholly that the only way to fix this was a literal mystic miracle.

Then there’s the comic, where Leo’s powers act up again and make him lose months of time completely isolated from everyone and everything he knows.

Just, looking at all of this, it’s like the universe gave him the powers of distance on purpose to test him (and his bros), literally seeing if they can overcome unimaginable space and still make it back together. Imagine if it doesn’t stop here, and Leo has to learn to either deal with the occasional complete isolation or deal with time travelers coming back to stop some terrible event his powers (whether directly or indirectly) have caused, events that always lead to separation in some way, shape, or form.

It’s worth noting, too, that his portals often led to accidental separation, but his teleportation was the one power of his that was used to isolate himself on purpose…and was also the one that in any other scenario would have been the most permanent.

Thinking of Stanley having a habit of watching Ford sleep when he can't and it nearly gives Ford a heart attack everytime because they both have a way with conceilimg their presence time to time so they're always jump scaring each other on accident (it's worse when Stanlwy actually has heart problems too💀)

So Stanley is just staring unblinking and unmoving because maybe he still can't believe he's here, maybe he needs to check he's alive and well and sleeping like a normal human being- maybe it's comforting.

Not to Ford- Ford wakes up with the terrifying view of being watched and we know he's got some trauma with that.

Stanley gets punched so much to the point he starts dodging when Ford wakes up, sees him and screams.

Why do you guys keep saying you want the story to focus on the main plot? How is Anya's return to Eden not a main plot? How is the introduction of a new diplomatic not relevant? How is the way this new diplomate's affects the main target's son not important?

Can you just be honest and say you don't care about any chapter that's not about twiyor? Everything that's not about twiyor is just immediately labeled as filler or meaningless. I genuinely wonder if you know that its not a romance manga or a family manga. The story is about much more than twiyor threatening to bump coochies abeg. Like, genuinely, how do you reduce Eden chapters as filler. The whole story is about getting Anya to imperial scholar status, where else will they have these kinds of story progression.

You guys didn't even give the chapter a chance to marinate before claiming it was meaningless filler. You don't even know where the story is going from here. It was a story about jealousy and dealing with these complicated negative emotions. It even shows that grown ass 660 year old men are still dealing with it. How can you just decide it's irrelevant to the main story line? Are you endo? Gimme a break.

God you people are boring
