realizing people care about you a lot is emotionally taxing okay!!

(it really really loves the blanket)

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

seeing post after post, and comments section filled with people calling Agamemnon "the worst character of the iliad" and a "warmonger who sacrificed his own daughter"

I will never fear undocumented immigrants anywhere near as much as I fear Republican law makers. And that is something that will never change.

No I'm sorry I can't get over this

When Yugi first meets Ryou in the manga, he already looks interested, but in a way that's sort of thoughtful, like: "Ryou Bakura... wonder if we'll be friends :)"

But s0 decided to make that expression look EVEN MORE WISTFUL AND DREAMY, I CAN ALMOST HEAR HIM SIGHING LONGINGLY FROM HERE

Wu: Pixal, you are amazing. I mean, you sacrificed your life for ninjago!-

Pixal: so you’re not angry at me anymore :D???

Wu, who remembers he’s a parental figure for a group of teens who aren’t used to a Wu that is genuinely mad at them: …..No, I’m not.

I get Saionji is a sexist ass but the way his character growth gets downplayed by certain parts of the fandom compared to Touga's annoys me.

I disagree that Saionji has not changed much. (it's a bad take guys, the narrative doesn't support this.)

The fact that Saionji encourages Touga to question things and face his love for Utena.

Saionji:  That's the kind of guy you are. You play the gentleman, Saionji:  but you've never really loved anyone, and you see everyone else only as pawns to be controlled. Saionji:  That was your strength. Saionji:  But can that sword of yours defeat her now? (Love that blossomed in Winter/episode;Utena english script)

It is a huge moment for him and I also think him playing the feminine role of the bride and putting himself at risk to help Touga. Is a huge change for such a typically selfish and sexist person.

Also without Saionji, I doubt Touga would have pulled his head out of his ass or done anything.

Saionji:  Are you really happy with that? Why are you kissing his ass that much? Touga:  He's the one who saved her back then. Saionji:  Oh, I see. Touga:  I want to become like him. I want power like his. Saionji:  Are you so sure? Touga:  What? Saionji:  It may be that the Chairman saved her back then. Saionji:  But she's still in the coffin. No, not just her. Saionji:  We're in our coffins too. (Love that blossomed in Winter/episode;Utena english script)

The emotional support Touga receives from a person he mistreated is kind of the point.

I just find it kinda ironic that a fandom that praises Utena for its take on gender still falls into the mindset. Of finding Touga's redemption ten times more valueible because he's fighting to save the girl he has a thing for. (even though it completely undermines Utena's agency and is still him trying to be a prince.)

But Saionji gets written off doing nothing at the end because he plays an emotional support role to Touga. With the fact he's enduring physical/ emotional trauma during his bride duel completely over looked. Because this is typically a womens/girls role. To ignore their own pain/ trauma for the sake of the one who hurt them because that same person needs them.

dr//g ab*se, attempted su!c!de

alhaitham attempted to overdose after the argument with kaveh over their thesis.

.

they basically screamed each others throats off that day; they've argued over their differing ideals before but it was never this bad, and the fight eventually got a bit physical, and there was a lot of hairpulling, scratching, pulling each other up by the collar, because they weren't just arguing about the thesis anymore, they were mad at each other. until alhaitham pointed out kaveh's fatal flaw, how his altruism is going to fail him one day, and kaveh, who can't handle the truth, yanks at alhaithams hair again, telling him to fuck off, that he wishes he never met him, all through pained, angry tears. and then, he lets go and leaves, bolting out the front door and not even bothering to close it.

it was one of the first times in alhaitham's life that he had ever let his emotions get the better of him, and he watched kaveh run out of the door, panting and shaking, tears prickling the corners of his eyes out of pure, unadulterated frustration. and alhaitham realizes at this moment that he'd lost someone. again.

oh yes, alhaitham's all alone again!! no one cares about him anymore!! he'd just lost the last person in the world who gave a damn!! silly alhaitham!! all because you're you. because you had to open your mouth again. because you had to say something. all you wanted was to help, but nobody understands that. nobody ever will. to them, you're just a cold, calculated, arrogant, cocky, bastard. and look what you've done now.

the thought breaks him, and he crumbles to the ground in what can only be described as a meltdown, a very violent one. vases are shattered, kitchen wear chucked across the room, books thrown around carelessly, all while he screams curses into the air, directed at no one, maybe at Kusanali, maybe at Celestia, who knows, but he screams anyway, bordering on babbles as he stumbles to his room, dizzy and distressed and grabs the bottle of prescription drugs (working on what kind of drug currently). It's not full, it's almost empty actually, only about 10 tablets at the bottom, but alhaitham, hands shaking, laughs incredulously at himself, and eats all of them.

or at least: tries to...

the commotion he'd made upset his neighbours. initially, they were storming over to his house with the Matra beside them to have him taken care of but upon arrival, they were horrified. The matra with them practically tackled alhaitham, making him spit out the 3 pills he had in his mouth when they found him in his room; he had already taken 5. they dragged him to the bimarstan as fast as he could, the neighbours following in terror and worry.

alhaitham was saved that day and the memory still haunts him. he was so clouded with emotion he'd lost all sense of what he was doing and just felt, and it scared him how his own feelings took control of him. At that point, alhaitham only closed up even further, basically forcing on his poker face and shoving down his feelings because he never wanted to feel so vulnerable again. he doesn't want to feel. it hurts to feel. strong feelings only bring pain. more pain than alhaitham could bear.

so alhaitham chose to hide this story, he never told anyone about it, not even a single detail. but kaveh, who moved back in eventually and now lived with alhaitham for about a year since their argument, was tidying up when he found a bottle of pills under alhaitham's bed, it was practically empty, only 2 pills remained.

concerned, he questions alhaitham about it later and it was the first time he'd seen alhaitham genuinely look scared. when kaveh explained he'd found it under his bed, alhaitham snatched away the bottle and disposed of it in the trash, cursing himself for not having found it last year when the incident happened and couldn't believe it had been there the whole time.

kaveh isn't an idiot, he pieced it together the moment he saw alhaitham's reaction. he just stands there, completely speechless and horrified. all he can say is "when..?"

and alhaitham, for the first time since their school years, responds in a shaky, miserable voice, "a year ago."

and kaveh is stunned, just staring at alhaitham, who seemed so unreachable when he moved in, suddenly looking so heartbreakingly vulnerable.

he doesn't say anything.

kaveh just hugs him, buries alhaitham's face into his shoulder and hugs him. and he swears he can hear soft, weak sounds coming from the scribe, and he swears the fabric over his shoulders became damp, but he doesn't say anything.

he just holds him.

i'm sorry. come at my throat all you'd like.

If I'm being so honest and risking sounding like an idiot, I don't understand daylight savings time at all...... I don't know when it is. I don't know why it happens or why we still do it. I don't know why some US states (Arizona & Hawaii?) don't do it but the rest do. I don't know which time of the year we go forward vs backward. I don't remember if we get more or less sleep or more or less daylight. At best, I hear about it a few days before and make sure my other clocks match my phone at some point the day after. At worst, I just feel weird for a few days until someone brings it up and I'm like "ohhh that's why". The clock in my car has been one hour off since the last time the time changed (because I didnt remember/didn't care enough to change it) so for the last several months, I've just converted the time in my head to the correct hour. I left for work today and noticed that it's finally accurate again. I am not a stupid person, nor am I an ignorant person, and I'm generally pretty observant about most things, but I just can't seem to remember the specifics of daylights savings time and it doesn't really affect my life enough for me to care. I fear if I got caught in a time loop, it would take me a LONG time to even realize something is off.

Why is he of all people the voice of reason here

[mala-santa-radfem]

i'm so fucking sick to my stomach to hear how college girls (GIRLS MY AGE, GIRLS THAT LOOK LIKE ME, THAT LIVE LIKE ME, THAT HAVE THE SAME DREAMS AS ME) disappear and the next day they're found dead in their universities. i see cases like that almost every month while feminist groups in my uni are BEGGING for safety protocols every day because we're fucking scared, while those girls' families beg for justice. THIS IS FEMINICIDE.
