Trying to get over this capitalist notion that maximizing and optimizing everything is what makes things successful, including my own health progress.

You don’t need to have maximum progress so that can be considered successful on your part. Any progress still is progress, which is great, and it deserves to be celebrated even when it looks like a “small step” because when we’re struggling everything takes way more effort to do, so a “small step” still is progress and still is something you succeed in. Take the small wins. They matter too, just as much as the bigger ones.

It’s better to go slow than to burn out by trying to improve your health. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, healing takes time, so you don’t need to focus on getting better, or recovering or healing at an incredibly fast pace which is impossible to keep up with on a long-term basis. You’ll only become more tired. You’ll only risk getting sicker.

The small things you’ve accomplished are still accomplishments. Take it slow, take those small wins, and be compassionate towards yourself and with how much you’re struggling. Everyone has different limits and respecting yours doesn’t make you lazy because it doesn’t erase any of your efforts, it just makes you someone who knows how to rest before they get sick.

People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not.

Been wanting to make a set for this quote since November. May the 4th (a day celebrating hope and resistance) seemed like a good day to finally finish it and post it. I think we could all use a little bit of Supergirl's hope in the world we're living in.

Is this anything? I didn't want my fursona to be a pigeon cause I chose pigeons as a gimmick when I was twelve and there are so many cooler animals but like... I picked one of the fancy domesticated pigeons and I think this turned out quite cute..

Pac: I'm a little naive. And innocent, in some cases, you know? I'm very compassionate, and I believe that everyone is going to be very kind to me too, you know? [...] I wanted to know what mine was, my specialty, what made you see something in me. Because– I'm great at gossiping, and I'll admit that. But I don't know if that was the thing that brought me here, you know? I don't know.

Jota: Do you know what brought you here, Pac?

Pac: No, I don't think so.

Jota: Your heart... is pure. Like a crystal. And that's something you should be proud of.

Pac: Thank you, Jota. So my specialty... is having a pure heart?

Jota: [He hits Pac] I’m kidding– you're gossipy as hell. [Laughs]

Pac: Ah, what's this man?! [Laughs] What's this! You convinced me, Jota! You convinced me, for a second I thought it was real, man!

Pac finally learns why he was summoned to Valigma and (almost) has a nice moment with Prefeito Jota.

Thank you, as always, to Kia for their translation help! This was a beast and I couldn't have done it without them.

Pac: I'll even tell you this, Jota. I'm a little naive. And innocent, in some cases, you know? I'm very compassionate, and I believe that everyone is going to be very kind to me too, you know? So I'm 100% with a person, and sometime that person is not 100% with me...

Pac: You recruited what I think is an elite team, Jota. The curation you had for recruiting these specialists was... perfect, you know? From various areas... with various different specialties... I– I even want– I wanted to know what mine was, my specialty, what made you see something in me. Because– I'm great at gossiping, and I'll admit that. But I don't know if that was the thing that brought me here, you know? I don't know.

Jota: Do you know what brought you here, Pac?

Pac: What?

Jota: ...You have no idea, do you?

Pac: No, I don't think so.

Jota: Your heart... is pure.* Like a crystal. And that's something you should be proud of.

Pac: Thank you, Jota. So my specialty... is having a pure heart?

Jota: [He hits Pac] I’m kidding– you're gossipy as hell. [Laughs]

Pac: Ah, what's this man?! [Laughs] What's this! You convinced me, Jota! You convinced me, for a second I thought it was real, man!

Jota: But it's both. It's both. It's gossip and a pure heart.

Pac: [Laughs] But the fofoca– the gossip part is true. What can I do, Jota? It's in my blood, but I swear on everything that everything that we talk about, I- I keep it between us, you know? So much so that when I saw your…

[He pauses, then quickly changes the subject]

Pac: Yeah, but I don't tell anyone– I don't tell anyone these things, I can stay quiet.

Jota: When you saw what?

Pac: When I saw your face, I was nervous at the time and stuff, but... but... I- I- I– [Stammers] What I'm trying to say is: I'm not a snitch when it comes to things about you.

* Note: Literally translated, Prefeito Jota says Pac has a "clean" heart, but given that he compares Pac's heart to a crystal, Kia and I decided that with that context, "pure" was a more accurate translation.

#okay wait do y'all think that she wasn't going to try and murder Dean?#Do you think he was going to get through to her?#convince her somehow to not try to stab him?#that she was telling the truth at all in that scene?#because she was totally going to try and kill Dean#like 100% that was going to happen#and if Sam hadn't shot her then Dean would have had to kill her and that would have been so much harder on Dean#like it was disturbing that Dean had a 3 day old monster child that wanted to kill him but who was then killed by her uncle Sam instead#and even more disturbing that they then never mention her again#but these are also the guys who left their half brother in Lucifer's cage and didn't lose any sleep over it so...#and I love Dean but killing Amy was an asshole move#and there's kinda a difference between killing an active imminent threat and killing someone in cold blood after the fact @jinkieswouldyoulookatthis

I didn't want to clutter someone else's post but this was partially directed at me? I've talked about the whole "Emma vs Amy" debate quite a few times, but I'll share a few thoughts.

Amy is a present, unrepentant, fully cognizant, adult, serial murderer. She is not actually sorry about what she did in any way. She believes that slaughtering humans like cattle to feed them to her son was the morally correct action even if it wasn't the ethical action because it kept her son alive. She is not correct.

Emma is a brainwashed child who's been psychologically conditioned for a few days. She has never killed anyone and only wants to kill Dean because some women who abused her told her to.

Hunters like Sam and Dean primarily deal in punitive justice, not preventative justice—and what I mean by that is that Sam and Dean try not to kill people (with powers or without powers) who have never killed anyone.

While I think you're right to point out that a preventative justice component is in play, that is not primarily how Dean makes the decision to go after Amy, and the reason we know that is because Amy's son swears to kill Dean and Dean does nothing about it because the boy has done absolutely nothing wrong.

Dean's application of his personal code is consistent here. He kills Amy, who is a murderer who killed four people, but he does not intend to kill Emma or Amy's son—both of whom wanted to kill him—because neither has actually killed anyone and both may choose not to.

You say that Emma was going to kill Dean 100%, but you don't actually know that because we never got to see that future. You assume Amy would never have killed again, but when you add up "murderer who regrets absolutely nothing" and "child vulnerable to catching illnesses" you get "Mom who absolutely would kill again as necessary and who would feel zero remorse doing so just like the last time".

I don't personally think SPN gives us any reason to suspect that three days of psychological conditioning from a cult is too much to overcome. We have seen other characters overcome much more serious levels of psychological conditioning intended to make them killers. For example, Cas and Alex. I'm not saying Emma wasn't trying to pull the wool over Sam and Dean's eyes in the scene where Sam shot her, but I am saying that doesn't actually mean in any way that she couldn't be convinced to actually choose a different path.

Under the same litmus test with which you suggest Emma's condemnation, we'd also condemn season 2 Sam for his potential "future" crimes. We are killing monsters before they actually become those monsters... because of the dark path someone else intends for them to go down. Amy—again—is an active present unrepentant serial killer.

I think sometimes people misremember the scene where Sam kills Emma—recalling the scene as a scene where Emma lunges at Dean with the knife and Sam steps in just in time to save his life, or where Dean is unarmed and Emma has him at knife point. But that is not what happened. Emma quite literally brought a knife to a gun fight. Dean had a gun pointed at her, and if she was thinking straight at all, she would have left to avoid being killed if given the chance—especially when Sam arrived. And had she not, Sam could have shot her at that point—but Sam didn't wait to see what she'd do. He wanted her dead, because even if she ran, he didn't think they were equipped to deal with surprise attacks from Dean's Amazon child. That is the decision Sam made after a brief moment to consider, and it makes sense to me given the headspace he was in at the time and his assessment of Dean's headspace as well, but it does not make his decision consistent with his previous or future behavior regarding people who have been psychologically conditioned to kill.

My own frustrations are more with fandom, for a thought process that really really does not make sense to me, where Emma deserves to die but Amy deserved to live. I do not agree with that premise. I do not understand why so much of fandom has the perspective that a child who hadn't shed a drop of blood and who was acting in response to a cult's torture, who brought a knife to a gun fight and had already been driven into a corner where she had no choice but to surrender or run—doesn't deserve a chance to choose something else before she's barely lived and before she's heard a loving word in her entire life, but an adult with full cognizance of their actions who went through with killing four people and doesn't regret it should go on with their life and is "just a good mom doing what she had to" and killing that person is the bad thing. I don't understand that. I don't think Dean killing Amy was wrong at all in the "hunters kill supernatural murderers" show. The only thing Dean did wrong was lie about it and not take enough care to keep her son from seeing it happen.
