I think an underrated angle on 2x05 is something that either Jacob or Assad said in some interview somewhere, which is that in that episode Louis is addicted to heroin. Thats why he has that whole stash of drugs that he gives to Daniel, that's why he gives Daniel the drugs even though he's already got him alone. He didn't just use those 128 boys for sex he was using them to get high. Bring them home, get them to shoot up, and then drain them to get that secondhand high.

It clarifies something that's always confused me about that scene, which is why Armand saves Daniel the first time. He wouldn't save Daniel as a person, he clearly knows Daniel needs to die, but he's not seeing Daniel as a person there. Daniel is just a substance. He rips him away from Louis to stop him from using.

And i think that adds a whole other layer to the fight he and Armand have to think that this is Louis on a bender, with Armand cleaning up after him because he's not stable enough to. Louis in the bed for a week isn't just healing from the burns, he's going through withdrawal. Him at the table with Daniel giving him the "bright young reporter" speech is probably the first time he's been sober in months.

It adds another layer to Armand's desperation, that Louis has been running from both Armand and himself in this way, and of course Armand wants to erase that memory. Of course he wants to pretend that that fight never happened. Not just to protect himself but in a way to protect Louis from having said those things. When he describes the fight to Louis afterwards, he says "you said the worst things you've ever said to me." And he doesn't really know how to forgive Louis for that so he just wants to bury this rock-bottom moment and move on like it never happened. After all, Louis was high, he didn't really mean it, but if he remembers then maybe he might think that he had a point. Better to wipe the whole experience away.

Im just really annoyed about how people just fucking hate it when the kids they were jealous of and hated in school for not also getting bad grades also report being fucking traumatized by the school system.

Yeah sorry school traumatizes everyone, even the 'ex-gifted kids' you fucking hate because god forbid someone wasnt exploited and overworked the same way you were.

Sorry a group of predominately neurodiverse people experiencing burnout and how their upbringing of being only valued for their academic performance totally fucked their ability to function in the real world dare talk about this pain where you can see.

Its not being privileged and ~humblebragging~ to report emotional neglect from your parents centered around you having to get perfect grades to receive any scrap of love.

Wishing violence on them for talking about it and finding each other isn't cute either.

And because these people need it stated extra clear

This post is NOT saying other groups of people 'had it less bad'. This is about a specific phenomenon of vitriol towards a oft neurodiverse group of people commiserating about how they were screwed over by the system under the label 'gifted kid' NOT whatever else you are imagining im saying. <3

Barbrey Dustin & Theon interactions really capture the experience of being at a family gathering where you get cornered by a random qanon woman who you’ve never met before but insists you’re related (she’s your uncle’s ex from 40 years ago who keeps showing up at these things)

Y’all someone posted on my small, conservative town’s local Facebook page asking “what’s going on with the UFO’s? What do you think it’s about?” And I got a true glimpse into the evangelical psyche.

Out of 87 answers, the most common answer I saw was…

“Aliens and UFO’s are being talked about so the government will have a cover up story when the rapture happens and all the Christians suddenly disappear.”

God I love it here everyone is delulu nothing about that theory makes any god damn sense I can’t believe these people vote

no but like I need to know how Louis felt meeting vampire Daniel for the first time and realizing that physically, Daniel is going to look older than Louis now for the rest of eternity.

Noh-Varr and David Alleyne have worked a few missions with the Outlaws; not a lot, but enough that Noh apparently feels comfortable enough to ask for a favor.

He needs help breaking a friend out of prison. And Jason "Broke My Best Friend Out of Prison" Todd and Roy "Was Broken Out of Prison by My Best Friend" Harper are like, sure. But Artemis or Kory are noticing the hardcore bitchface David is giving him so they press a little harder on the who and the why. It's a long story, but it boils down to:

In their universe, there's a big discussion fight war over using knowledge of the future to prevent future crimes/apprehending the perpetrator even if they haven't committed a crime yet ("Why does this sound familiar?" Roy asks) and someone they know got captured and is in prison. The problem is this person is a baseline human in a prison intended for not baseline humans and guards who are used to dealing with non-baseline humans, and the odds of this person dying due to this fact are...pretty high.

That still leaves the who.

Well! Noh says. It's my super amazing rad (ex) girlfriend! She is awesome. And great. And cool. And amazing, has he said amazing?

-Wait what was the part before girlfriend?

It was rad

And David, in the spirit of not derailing the mission before it gets started says that it's their team leader (derogatory)

whatever, doesn't matter, Jason and Roy are ON it.

The thing is. Jason and Roy heard "baseline human" and stopped listening. So they break into the Raft and are prepared for a civilian, they are NOT prepared for someone to grab Roy's bow and say "come to mama" initiating a staredown between her and Roy because CLEARLY her boys told you to bring this bow FOR HER, right???

Roy is staring at her over his bow (MA'AM ITS HIS) when she swings him around (how????) pulls an arrow from his quiver, and fires it at a guard who was coming in behind them while Roy is still holding the bow. And he has a Cecil-meeting-Carlos moment

"Her aim is perfect, and we all hate, and despair, and love that perfect aim in equal measure..."

"She has teeth like a military cemetery, her aim is perfect, and she grinned, and everything about her was perfect, and I fell in love instantly"

Roy is experiencing a paradigm shift and Kate is just trying to escape prison!!!!!

(David takes one look at Roy and goes "Ah fuck we lost another one")

("Sorry, Noh, I think you made a tactical error there--"

Did he? DID he? Or is he about to be in a polyamorous relationship with two of the greatest marksmen in the universe???? What about THAT, Prodigy???)

#OTD in 1972 – In what is to become known as Bloody Sunday, the British Army kills 13 civil rights demonstrators in the Bogside district of Derry. A 14th marcher later dies of his injuries.

Thirteen people were shot and killed when British paratroopers opened fire on a crowd of civilians in Derry. Fourteen others were wounded, one later died. The marchers had been campaigning for equal rights such as one man, one vote. Despite initial attempts by British authorities to justify the shootings including a rushed report by Lord Widgery exonerating the troops, the Saville Report which…

something that will always bother me (until i get it answered) is whether or not solmare based off of/got inspired by mettaton for Asmo

like i know it’s a very specific personality and overall likes as a trope but still it just, they give off the same energy, someone was listening to death by glamour in that studio i just know it

like i need them to make a QnA just so i can ask this question it has bothered me for so long it makes so much sense but there’s always a chance of it just being a crazy coincidence

OOC: damn it al haitham how am I supposed to emotionally recover from the fact you fricking bamboozled me into matching you up with Mei THREE TIMES IN A R O W????

This is some cursed yandere!soulmate sht. I thought I at least escaped 70% of my yandere acc's traces. How do I even explain this to Mister Zhongli? I'm not making a good case here since I'm 1) Khaenri'ahn and 2) have a history of being an internet gremlin.

HELP. I DON'T WANT A METEOR TO FALL DOWN—

Let's just. Let's just pretend the past never happened omg wow you got al haitham!!! He's so nice!!! He's not protective enough to install strange applications in your devices!!! He's also not the type who would plan ahead to make sure his soulmate will end up with him!!! (Copium)

At this point, Mei and Al Haitham has a fanfic worthy relationship. Him being King Deshret and her being Nabu Malikata in the past, then in the next modern reincarnation he's her deranged boss— and in an alternate universe he's (hopefully) a sane individual who drags her out just to study runes. It sounds like some bizarra manhwa 😔😔😔😔
