André Rosario (aka HydroponicTrash) joins us this week on the podcast to tell Ariel all about dual power - what it is, how it fits in with solarpunk, and how people can mobilize it in their daily lives. Their conversation ranges from the history of the term dual power, to examples from André’s own life, to the concept of mutual aid, the importance of imagining a better world, how to build relationships as an introvert, and even includes a discussion of human nature.

What if Pomni seeks out comfort from Kinger bc of the last episode??

Pages 2 and 3 should be done soon-

But I love the idea of Kinger's comforting words and advice struck a cord with Pomni, so despite his memory issues she still seeks his comfort out- though going to him at night yields some problems as shown...

Anyways girl dad Kinger !!!!!!

“Even if my memories of the Underground are faint, fingerprints of the past linger in my heart,” Bronya murmurs softly, her eyes roaming over the oil-black lampposts illuminating the brick-paved streets of Boulder Town below. Her eyes flicker to Seele when she resumes. “If I can build a better tomorrow for both the Underground and Overworld citizens, would you honor me with your strength to reclaim that future?”

“Fancy words for saying you need me, Bronya.” Seele grins at the future heir and shakes her head. “When you say it like that, it makes me want to protect that future with you. So yes, if you’ll have me, I want to help you build that future.”

“I’ve been thinking a lot about Touya lately," Shouto says in a quiet voice. Katsuki freezes. “His birthday was very close to mine,” Halfie continues, his eyes looking off into the mid-distance. “It’s strange—everyone is doing these nice things for my birthday, but all I can think about is how he never had the opportunity to do any of this.”

Or: It's January, Shouto's acting weird, and Katsuki's determined to do something about it.

Don't have time for fancy graphic/details - which I will post later tonight depending on my emotional well-being after 7x05.

But, quickly posted a new fic in speculation of tonight's episode, brief one-shot hurt/comfort for BuckTommy, so please enjoy!

“So, are they love at first sight or the most devastating slow burn?”

YES

[jjkyaoi]

by the way. people are allowed to complain about this season feeling rushed. i don’t know when it became a thing in this fandom to completely jump people who have valid complaints like YES arcane is a fantastically produced and beautifully animated show and nobody will be able to top it but they did start things with some characters only for it to never go anywhere so it can all be wrapped up in three episodes 😭

Scenes/Things in Supernatural that genuinely don't make sense to me if Dean was straight:

The confession booth scene.

Sam just rolling with the fact that Dean's siren is a guy while still thinking sirens infect people through sex.

Dean being flustered by several men: Gunner Lawless, Aaron, Doctor Sexy, etc.

All the parallels between Destiel and other couples. (A big one being "last night on Earth" bc how do you do that accidentally.)

Having all the gay jokes be on Dean instead of Sam.

Paralleling Sam meeting his childhood celebrity crush with Dean meeting Gunner Lawless.

The boner Dean got when Cas cleaned up.

Dean gulping after Cas does an impression from a Western movie.

Charlie, a lesbian, calling Castiel "dreamy."

The way Mary looks at Dean and Cas when they hug.

Dean wondering why everyone assumes he's gay, while Sam not caring.

The logic that Charlie can't flirt with guys because she's only attracted to women, but then having Dean flirt with the guy for her.

Dean seeming disappointed when learning that Aaron's flirting was fake.

The amount of time Dean and Cas spend staring at each other.

Dean canonically having an orgy with Crowley.

A woman saying that she knows when someone's pining for someone else to Dean, just for us to learn that Dean was never in love with Amara.

The set design and script choices that lead to a cross in the background while Dean said "I do." to Cas after he came back to life.

That time when Dean wanted to say something and Cas was like, "It's okay, I heard your prayer." But Dean still looked like he wanted to say something important.

Amara: [about Dean] "I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except, it’s cloaked in shame.”

If you want to have a more expansive list, @destiel-is-real-idgaf added to this one quite nicely.

Trying to motivate myself to work, and I've... gotten a vision after listening to "Home" by Cavetown again in my car on the way to school this morning

Edit : Writing lore about that situation in the comments? More likely than you'd think oop

Me, working on the teenpregnant Shen Yuan: Well, Yue Qingyuan wouldn't be a bad father to Shen Yuan...

My inner Peerless Cucumber: Are you CRAZY? Of course he would be. This man doesn't have the courage to give AN explanation. He just bows his head and apologizes. He never defends the man he clearly loves; he simply believes others' horrible assumptions and tries to excuse him. And it doesn't matter if Shen Jiu makes those accusations real, proving him, proving what he will do. NO! Yue Qingyuan continues to lower his head submissively, enjoying the contempt because he believes he deserves it. It's what he thinks he deserves. He thinks he deserves that punishment, that making him suffer like that makes his Xiao Jiu happy. EVEN IF IT IS NOT SO! He just assumes and acts, but even in his assumptions, never gives rise to what Shen Jiu really feels or wants. He makes him look worse even unintentionally, when Shen Jiu just wanted a fucking explanation.

Now put a fucking baby on the table. Shen Jiu will say: This is MY son. Mine and no one else's. And Shen Jiu will wait (as always, waiting) Yue Qingyuan gets some balls and say: No, he's my son too, let me be there for him. Let me provide as his father, let me take care of him. Shen Jiu will wait for Yue Qingyuan to break through his mask of indifference, to ruin his fake smile, to do something. For God's sake. To take the initiative for once in his life.

... And Yue Qingyuan wouldn't. He would respect that Shen Jiu has said that he doesn't recognize him as the other father of his child. He would keep his distance, giving expensive gifts to the child who grows every day with his Xiao Jiu's face but his own dark, gentle eyes. He remains like the uncle, the Zhangmen-shibo, a martial uncle who gives gifts, occasionally visits for tea, who cares about his health, education or cultivation.

And Shen Jiu hates it. He hates his mask. He wants to tear it off and scream at him. But, think about it, Qi-ge wants fucking torture, there's his torture. There's his son, if he has the balls to claim him. There is the son with the huge heart and the poisonous tongue. There is the son who will always look to others before himself, and at the same time will fight tooth and nail for what he wants. You want that child to be yours, Qi-ge? Have the guts and claim him, do something, take the initiative, DO. SOMETHING.

But Yue Qingyuan won't do it because he's convinced of his own shit. He believes in his heart that he is doing the right thing by respecting Shen Jiu and his decision, just as he believes he was doing the right thing by apologizing and not explaining. And Shen Jiu boils in fury daily.

And Shen Yuan grows up with his A-die Shen Jiu, and the distant Yue Qingyuan, Zhangmen-shibo, the martial uncle who he discovers at some point that he is also his father. A father who chooses distance over affection, who chooses respect over choose Shen Yuan or his own parental rights.

Me, looking at my inner Peerles Cucumber with FEAR: ... Bro, are you okay? Do you need therapy? ... Okay, so how the hell do we add that...
