#but in timeloop

Well, let's all watch how the Trump clan ransacks the state!

You had the choice.

YOU vote make it possible.

It is clear that democracy requires collective action to resist the actions of those who seek to undermine it. A democracy is not a system that can be controlled by a single individual.

We call on all those who believe in the rule of law and the functioning of a democracy to join us in our resistance. By doing so, we can demonstrate to our political opponents the limits of their actions.

the tradwife movement is the same as it has always been - back in the kitchen, back to breeding - it just has better branding.

when i was younger, i hated pink. i was not like other girls. this is now something i'm embarrassed of - this was not me being a "girl's girl."

but it was expressing something many of us felt at the time: i literally wasn't what girlhood was supposed to be. this is a hard thing to explain, but you know when you're not performing girlhood correctly. it isn't as easy as "i liked x when girls liked y" - because there were other girls that liked x, too - but i never figured out exactly the correct way to like x, or to be interested in y.

now there is the divine feminine. this is the same rhetoric it has always been: women are biologically driven to like pink and ribbons and submitting to our husbands.

the problem is that the patriarchy found a better PR team. because yes, actually, i want every woman to have the choice to be a homemaker. i also want her taken seriously for her legitimate home-making labor. i want her to be recognized as also having a job, just unpaid. i want men to have this opportunity, too.

but it is no longer "i made this choice and I love it." instead it is a sixteen-paragraph rant about how selfish it is that my generation isn't having kids. instead it's long videos about how if you feed your children processed foods, you're going to kill them. instead it is "this is what womanhood is supposed to be. i feel bad for any other choices you're making."

the shame spiral is just prettier. it is large houses devoid of personality. it is the implication: if you don't have this, you aren't happy. the solid, everlasting assurance: women are actually supposed to be submitting. this is the default. this is the natural state of things. all other attempts inflict suffering.

but you can no longer say i'm not like other girls. you can no longer reject this image completely. you cannot find it revolting, even if you know that the underbelly is toxic and festering. sure, it is the same repackaged patriarchy. but the internet does not have shades of grey. you should support and reward other women! your disgust is actually internalized misogyny. not because you are seeing a vision of yourself the way they're trying to train you to be. not because you feel her ghost pass within an inch of your earlobe. not because your father will eventually ask you - why can't you be like her?

because they figured out how to make it beautiful: women will sell other women on this idea, and we will find the singular loophole in feminism. sure, she's shaming you in most of her videos. sure, she implies that a different life is obscene. but she just wants you to be happy! you'd be happier if you were listening!

and the whole time you're sitting there thinking: i'd actually just be happier if i had that kind of money.

come to this timeloop often, handsome?

[sleepless-in-starbucks]

guy who's stuck in a timeloop for so long he stops wanting to leave it. guy who started out trying to escape but slowly grew used to and became comforted by the familiarity of the repeating day. guy who is no longer who he was before the timeloop. guy who is offered a way out and violently refuses it because he can't leave, doesn't want to leave. guy who escapes the timeloop by chance or force or accident and doesn't know how to live anymore. guy who keeps going through motions that don't match the situation and keeps having conversations that aren't actually occurring. guy who panics every time he realizes he can't predict the next instant. guy who left the timeloop but still lives with it.

you can always tell when a new game changer dropped because your dash will have posts that are absolutely incomprehensible before watching it and make total sense afterwards

I NEED Loop to be further tormented by finding out confessing to their party doesn't break their loops, and Siffrin wishes to see Loop again so hard he pops out of the favor tree so he gets to be Loop's guide

[zubzooks]

playing isat has taken a toll on my mental state

[shira-ceres]

My Loop sprite redraws are looking a bit different I love how gesture-ful Loop is I kinda wish we got to see more Sif arm action as weird as that sounds

Steddie timeloop au where Steve has tried everything to change what happened and get out of the loop but nothing ever fully works, he never manages to save Eddie and the loops keep happening.

This time he's determined to play everything through like the first time to remind himself how it started and hopefully get some new ideas on how to fix it. (Except for the new hiding place for Erica, where she won't be spotted so Jason never finds them. He's not willing to risk Max)

But when Eddie calls out to him and tells him "Make him pay" after that lengthy dose of eye contact he can't help himself. He steps close, grabs Eddie by the sides of his jacket and pulls him even closer, stares at his lips before looking back into Eddie's eyes. "I will. I promise you, I will."

And while Eddie dot exe stops working for a few seconds he closes up the jacket and adds "And please keep your jacket closed, I have a feeling you might need the extra padding."

Little does he know that this is literally what saves Eddie's life and ends the loop. Sure, he's pretty chewed up but the leather gave just enough protection they can get him to a hospital in time. And when Steve is crashing from the adrenaline and realizes the loop isn't restarting.... he can't help but slap his hand on whatever poor surface is closest and go "The JACKET??!?!? All this time-! And it was the jacket???"

Anyway for a good while Eddie is pretty damn convinced Steve can see visions of the future

WE HAVE A WINNER!

It was a hard fought battle but I would like to officially crown The Princess from Slay The Princess as the winne- wait. Who is that

IT'S MR ARIMNAES WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! Many people thought that Arimnaes would be happy just to see the person who knocked him out of the tournament finally defeated, but as a true member of the Arimnation I know he will never be satisfied until he gets the victory that he sees as his. I don't know if he has what it takes though- UNLESS

IT'S SIFFRIN FROM THE TOP ROPE!

That's right folks, Arim's once bitter rival turned secret teammate is back and all out in the open to help Arimnaes in this upheaval of the order! By all tournament regulations this is illegal! Once eliminated you can't just come back! And certainly not with 2 character in the same spot! But we should have known that Arimnaes doesn't care about laws!

So that leaves us with this final title defense match. Can The Princess defend her crown from this tag team power duo? That's for you to decide!

Best Character Stuck in a Timeloop

rejoice, for you have doomed a lover

[digirainebow]

we all love timeloops, but what piece of media introduced you to the concept? i feel like it says a lot about how and why someone enjoys them. reblog and tag with your first loop!
