Why is "I can make him worse" used almost always in romantic or sexual contexts. It's much funnier when talking about a family member. Being 15 years senior to my littlest cousin means I get to do shit like teach him how to piss off his mom and set up his email account. This is also what aunts/uncles are for I'm p sure

something that really pisses me off is this headcanon that ice would have been or was against mav pulling bradley’s papers for the academy.

like i’m sorry but I need some of you to think for a second. this is a man whose jet wash indirectly also led to the accident that resulted in goose’s death and probably carried that guilt for half his life too. this is also the man who was there to watch mav and carole grieve for the brother/husband they lost for YEARS. not to mention he was close to goose as well since they were both at the academy. like he would have wanted to protect bradley just as much as mav did when he made the decision to pull the papers. it’s a dumb moment for both of them but again. 100% they would have both thought they were doing the right thing for bradley.

Fuck the Diaz parents. What kind of grandparents/parents are you that you feel okay with taking your son’s child away from him? It makes me sick. Eddie does the best he can to be a good dad and HE IS. Yes, he fucked up and this is what Chris wants, and it could be good to give them space, but oh my god, you're not even going to try and help their relationship? Instead, you guilt trip your son, and not show any empathy towards him as he’s clearly struggling mentally. They manipulated and took advantage of a highly emotional situation to take away Chris like they've always wanted and to once again remind Eddie that he was not a good enough father.

It didn't truly strike me harder how devastating the grief and trauma Cheng Xiaoshi felt about that Chen Xiao mission and how he was probably raised in that part of China by his parents and having to confront the feelings of all the people he had bonds with in that area until i was reading posts from Chinese readers explaining how Cheng Xiaoshi has a northern accent and Lu Guang has a southern Chinese accent

BACK TO ONE PIECE LETSGOOOOO

[marinsawakening]

WAIT KAITO AND SHINICHI ARE CONFIRMED COUSINS NOW?????

First: I'M WINNING

Second: My sincerest condolences to the kaishin shippers. I know this sounds sarcastic but it's actually not. Sincerely this must really suck and I can't even imagine what wars are being waged among the shippers right now.

Third: However pretending that this is some sudden nonsensical plot twist is just straight up denial I'm sorry but Kaito and Shinichi have been canonically confirmed to look like twins for years now. Kaito famously utilized this to sneak past security while disguised as Shinichi without needing to wear a mask. All he needed to do was ruffle his hair and boom not even Shinichi's best friends were able to tell them apart. It was hilarious. Anyway this wasn't some one-off either this has been a recurring piece of canon. Frankly it'd be way weirder if they just happened to look identical without being related, and the only reason that fan theory wasn't more popular was because of how awkward that'd make things for the kaishin shippers.

Fourth: Can we PLEASE talk about how funny this is oh my god the family dynamics. This is the single funniest family in the world I'm losing my MIND

okay not enough people are talking about this. To everyone that has survived this long, either taking pills, fully healed from, or currently suffering through hyperthyroidism undiagnosed is a fucking hero.

Hyperthyroidism (and it's sister hypothyroidism, which I know less about) is fucking awful.

Your metabolism is completely thrown off. Your heart constantly races. For me, it was at a resting rate of 160 BPM at one point. When running, it was 220. That's enough to give you a heart attack.

Your balance is constantly off, you fall over and wobble nonstop. You physically cannot walk a straight line. In extreme cases, looking up can make you fall over. Yes, looking up could knock you over.

Your eyes stick out of your head uncomfortably so. The muscle behind them swells up, making them stick out. In extreme cases, people have needed to get eye patches, or, for those unlucky, the eyes do come out completely.

Your own fucking throat is attacking you. Like I said, I know less about hypothyroidism, but hyperthyroidism is what happens when your thyroid, located in the front of your neck, goes ballistic. It's incurable naturally and can only be treated with pills.

It's not "clumsiness." It's not being "sensitive." It's a fucking disease that goes after 40% of AFAB people. THAT'S A HUGE CHUNK OF PEOPLE.

My dad got it, too, so it's not just them, either.

Some people have to take pills forever. The lucky ones heal. For some, only radiation can finally kill it before it kills them.

If you're suffering from hyperthyroidism (or it's sister), I am so fucking sorry. My heart goes out to you.

Reblog to let hyperthyroid victims know you see them. You care. You want them to get better. I love each and every one of you.

I hope we will one day heal, in one way or another.

i think one of the most evil aspects of fundamentalist evangelical christianity is how it (and the general culture of those who follow it) encourages parents to treat children

first off, it treats having children as something EVERYONE should do, regardless of if they actually want and are capable of raising said children. in more extreme cases you get shit like the quiverfull movement, wherein couples are encouraged to have as many children as physically possible

and then, those children are referred to like they're their parents possessions, like they are just objects their parents were "gifted" with by god. they're not treated like their own human beings.

AND a core tenet of their religion is that humans are born inherently sinful. they think newborns, who can't even fully control their bodily functions yet, are automatically full of sin. an infant's crying for its basic needs to be met is seen as a sign of their inherent selfishness

a parents' main goal is supposed to be to "purify" that child's soul by any means necessary, the child's actual wellbeing is secondary to "saving their soul"

and, of course, free thought is discouraged in favour of obedience. they believe in a hierarchy: child < wife < husband < god. if you are to disobey the one above you, then you are considered to be disobeying god himself- even if the thing your parent or husband is commanding you not to do is not a sin in of itself. "honor thy father and thy mother"

and again, parents are taught that the best trait for a child to have is *obedience*. obedient to their parents and obedient to the church and scripture

parents are taught to force that obedience by corporal punishment. physical abuse (and yes. "spanking" is abuse. if you disagree then, well, i'm sorry that someone convinced you that raising a hand against someone so much smaller and weaker than you is anything short of abusive) is ENCOURAGED

in fact, if you DON'T hit your kids, you are seen as A BAD PARENT, who is failing to properly "train" their child, and who is dooming their child to a life of wickedness, sin, and suffering ("he who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him." or, put more simply, "spare the rod spoil the child")

parents are told to ignore their own despair and revulsion towards the idea of harming their child, and to hit them anyway. hit the kid and ignore the voice in your head that says hitting kids is wrong. remind yourself that this is for the child's own good. remind yourself that this is god's will.

you're also supposed to remind the child that you are hurting them for their own good, because god commands it. teach them that people hurting them is a good thing.

and many suggest that after you beat them, give your child comfort (comfort from the distress caused by being beaten by you, who is supposed to protect them from harm) and to give them affection (to drive home the point that hurting them is how you show love). which, if you know about the cycle of abusive relationships (tension, violent incident, reconciliation, calm) then you can see how this is pretty much a mirror image of that

it's fucking evil

look up the book "to train up a child" if you want to see this taken to the extreme. even many fundamentalists thing the methodology is too extreme, but they generally agree with the ideology/principles behind it
