#how to get ahead

Sure you hear it in Rapture. One of the business types asked me, why don't you "splice white?" Get ahead. Well, that's some idiocy. I told him, first of all, I am ahead. Second, in Rapture it's your work that's supposed to matter, not your skin. Too bad for some folks you can't splice in common sense.

absolutely hilarious to me that agatha calls rio a bad boy when in reality rio is actually the rule following jock with infinite patience and care who brings you flowers on a first date.
agatha on the other hand is the snarky girl who gets into arguements with her teacher about the smallest details in the lecture and is constantly getting detention for cursing someone out. she's top of all her classes tho.
#she's the bad influence#rio is literally just along for the ride#this came to me because i was thinking about how rio follows the laws of the universe#and how agatha tries to defy them at every fucking term#like no agatha babe rio isnt the bad boy she's the golden boy you take home to your parents and your mom starts planning your wedding#there is fic potential in here but im not a writer so if anyone else wants to take a shot go ahead#agatha harkness#rio vidal#agatha x rio#agathario#agatha all along#kathryn hahn#aubrey plaza#rio definitely has a jealousy streak tho and she will get violent if threatened

i've said it before but it will forever and always make me insane that jacob's ending is to join the cullens for the sake of bella not having to give anything up. they find out jake will be immortal & tied to renesmee forever, so bella gets to smile & say "my family is finally complete! ^-^" but jake already HAS a family. he has a father and 2 sisters. quil, embry, seth and sam are like his brothers. jacob and leah were planning to run away together. he's always been welcome in emily's home, sue has been a family friend since before his birth. bella abandons her mortality by choice because she feels no connection to the people around her, but jacob has really strong bonds. it's clear that every character we meet in la push is like family to him, he's an active member of the community. jake would've graduated high school and been a mechanic, would've grown into a young man. a good friend, a fun uncle, a present son. he's set up to have such a rich life. and he's just magically compelled to give that up. beyond his control, he loses sight of everything, because his high school crush's baby is now the singular most important thing to him. he's perpetually 18 with his perpetually 18 year old girlfriend, running around vancouver or alaska or wherever with the girl who friendzoned him at 16 & her in-laws (who were antagonistic to him for months). and i'm just supposed to say omg yay now he doesn't have to let go of bella! everyone is happy! it's complete madness
#like even putting aside the utter insanity of him imprinting on a newborn (WHICH IS HARD TO PUT ASIDE) it is still CRAZY#like bella was never gonna do anything but be a vampire. from the moment she meets them the only ending for her is to join the cullens.#throughout the series the only thing we see tying bella to humanity is jacob. that's the conflict for her. thats what she must forfeit.#ofc there's charlie but SHE makes the decision that giving that relationship up is worth it to her#bella was never going to do anything else but jake WAS. jake HAD a whole life ahead of him that was taken from him#HE HAS NO CHOICE. HE'S JUST COMPELLED TO DO IT#ugh. jacob can be the Worst sometimes but ultimately he's a victim of the narrative fr#being kinda shitty & unable to get over a girl at 16 shouldn't condemn u to giving up literally every other relationship in ur life#also the phrasing of 'the girl who friendzoned him' in this post makes it sound like i think bella is wrong for that & to be clear i don't#i just mean to emphasize like. how young they are & how trivial their relationship drama would seem to them years down the line#jacob black#twilight#the twilight saga#twilight blog#bella swan#jacob twilight#quil ateara#seth clearwater#leah clearwater#embry call#sam uley#stephanie meyer#smeyer#new moon#eclipse#breaking dawn#twilight critical#mine#jake

Drawing I made based off a run me and some friends did
Me when the family is color coordinated
They forced Rodger’s ass out of bed so they could do a run in the middle of the night

Also doodled a very memorable moment from the run






We did indeed manage to find heals that floor, btw.

It’s always ‘bad dad cap’ until the JL actually meet his ‘kids’. The JL then decide they would each take a kid to see if they can get some info. It goes as well as you expect
Diana, after taking Mary for a girls night out
Diana: Never again
JL: ???
CM: what did she do now
Diana: tried to take over Themesquira
CM: Mary!
Mary: IT WAS TO INCREASE EFFECIENCY
CM: WHAVE HAVE WE SAID ABOUT CAPITALISM
Mary: … not to enter its thrall
CM: because …
Mary: *sighs* you’ll end up bald like Sivanna
CM: Good.
Superman, coming in with Pedro
Clark: nope no nu uh nada
CM: what happened?
Clark: HE BROKE MY FORTRESS
CM: the for three of Solitude?
Clark: I just wanted him to show him how strong fortress was
CM: and he took it as a challenge?
Clark: HE TOOK IT AS A CHALLENGE
John Constantine, throwing Eugene at Cap:
Jonn: NO KIDS IN THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES. EVER AGAIN.
Euegene: IT WAS TECHNOLOGICALLY DEFICIENT
John: NOT UP TO YOU TO CHANGE THAT
Flash, being dragged in by Freddy
Freddy: Oh hey guys 👋
CM: what you got there?
Freddy: He said running would do me some good.
CM: … okay fair
Hal, in the corner: unicorns are nice, unicorns are bad, unicorns are real, it’s aaaalllllll in my head
Darla: :3
CM: …
Darla: want some skittles?
CM: you’re all grounded
Shazamily: OH COMME ON
*ten minutes later*
JL watching the kids be buried in the ground - their heads. Suddenly they understand a bit more now.
#Caps ‘kids’ are menaces to society#they learned it from Billy#they also get to use his powers less so when they do they will make the most of it#the JL is traumatised#they wanted to take things into their own hands#so Cap said go ahead#he also told the kids to go wild#ah duality#billy batson#shazam#dc captain marvel#dc#captain marvel dc#jl#jld#superman#hal jordan#wonder woman#flash#john constantine#none of them stood a chance#shazamily#Darla#freddy freeman#mary bromfield#Eugene#predro#all of them are feral#I don’t know how the vasquez couple does it

「 boys don't cry 」
about suppressed emotions, downplayed heartaches, and the expectations to remain stoically self reliant without the community and connection needed to help open the paths away from isolated self destruction.
#bit of a revisit of an older piece#tldr: how gender stereotypes can lead people down a path of isolation self-destruction and / or radicalization#it's jarring being trans and going from one version of seen and not heard to a wildly similar yet different version of seen and not heard#thanks to therapy + friends i'm opening up more and i wish the same for other people. shit Can get better#you just gotta find the right people who will patiently help you start to dismantle those walls brick by brick#can be a friend a family member a therapist - someone who you can authentically open up to and reciprocate that with#can even be someone eight time zones ahead of you online. that's fine too.#all i'm saying is: there is community and connection out there for you - even if right now it really feels like there isn't#2025 art#nonanthro#godbirdart#godbird#canines#animals#cliffs#april 2025

man you all were not kidding abt the therapyspeak in veilguard.
#cant believe taash stops themselves from calling emmrich a skullfucker#i shouldve been allowed to encourage that behavior. honestly. consequnces be damned#if you say you saw this coming they both get irritated that you didn’t say something ahead of time????#why is your relationship my responsibility. we have bigger things to worry about#datv critical#& honestly why is it so important everyone gets along. that isn’t really necessary#and it’s boring frankly#much more interesting to travel with two people who openly hate each other but agree to follow you#bc they care about either the mc or the quest they’re on#can you imagine how bad da2 wouldve been if you couldve been like#okay deep breaths fenris. tell me what you’re feeling right now#and instead of telling you to kill yourself he was like#‘you’re right hawke. im letting my trauma get in the way of a beautiful friendship with anders’#‘lets agree to just not talk about mages and templars’#probably not a great comparison bc tassh & emmrich’s disagreements dont have much to do with the main plot#but then like even more reason for it not to matter either way.#also why are we glossing over the necromancy stuff#why is the solution like ‘this is an uncomfortable topic so we just won’t discuss it anymore’#they could be having a rly interesting disagreement about the ethics of all this#but they cant because everyone in veilguard has to be Best Friends for some reason#da

Spideytorch high school sweethearts AU except Johnny breaks up with Peter after he gets back from space. Johnny's still in love but his family's safety is now banked on public opinion, and Johnny's terrified what being out as gay would do to that.
Unfortunately he completely botches the explanation to Peter, who only hears that what they had doesn't mean anything now that Johnny has to leave and go be a celebrity. His boyfriend's too good to be with humdrum ol'Peter Parker with the ratty shoes and dead parents. No, it's probably going to be supermodels and brand deals for the Human Torch from now on, and at best Peter gets to be the old friend from high school who calls sometimes. Not even good enough to be seen hanging out together. Well, if that's the case, Peter's not interested in being "just friends" with Johnny who still gets to "talk on the phone sometimes". In fact, he's perfectly fine with never hearing from him again.
Johnny flies away from that conversation in anguish, heartbroken that he has lost the first and only friend he's ever had, his first love. Peter develops a level of spite towards the Human Torch that rivals the future animosity of J. Jonah Jameson towards Spider-Man.
When Johnny later learns about Spider-Man he's enamored with the idea of befriending him, someone who understands what it's like to be a young superhero struggling through life. This hope crashes and burns upon them actually meeting, when Spider-Man makes some extremely personal attacks completely unprompted. Their rivalry is started with the verbal equivalent of tossing a lit stick of dynamite, and from then on it's so bad that Spider-Man is often identified as a member of the Human Torch's rogues gallery.
What really, really doesn't help is Johnny and Peter's reunion a few months later. Johnny, feeling guilty of how it all went down and struggling to get over Peter, apologizes and asks if they can be actual friends again, not that half-hearted stuff he'd initially proposed. Not only does this get turned down, Peter hints that he's been seeing other people after Johnny, and he's not naming any names, but Spider-Man's a better kisser than the Human Torch.
Johnny doesn't take it well.
#spideytorch#peter parker#spiderman#johnny storm#human torch#“identity shenanigans are fun!” I say to myself as I pick up Johnny's heart and smash it against the wall#i wonder if peter's too mean in this and then i imagine#what would the average person's reaction be to being dumped for all of the reasons they were bullied#by someone else who was bullied for the exact same reasons#“I don't like misunderstandings” I tell myself as I write out something that's 99% misunderstandings#oh btw if you get any inspo and want to use any part of this in your own writing go ahead#i haven't read enough spidey and f4 to know exactly how ooc this is...gotta read more#my post

You Should Be Here With Me
A 2024 Advent Fic by lululawrence
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 34k | 26 Chapters
The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks.
Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table.
Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.
🎄1 🎄 2 🎄 3 🎄 4 🎄 5 🎄 6 🎄 7 🎄 8 🎄 9 🎄 10 🎄 11 🎄 12 🎄 13 🎄 14 🎄 15 🎄 16 🎄 17 🎄 18 🎄 19 🎄 20 🎄 21 🎄 22 🎄 23 🎄 24 🎄 25 🎄 26 🎄

the empathy leaving keyboard activists' bodies when you tell them that sometimes what accommodates one disability is nightmarish for another disability and accusing people of being lazy/not trying hard enough to keep up unless they provide sufficient proof of exemption is basically no different than yelling at someone for using an accessible parking spot because they aren't visibly limping
#go ahead and tell me how ocd isn't a 'real impairment' or whatever#go on tell me that all the people sharing their anxiety over this accountability culture and how it stops them from posting don't matter#go on and tell me they just need to 'get over it'#'curate the space you want' also means a place where people are allowed to be thoughtless#it's 'tag your pomegranates' all over again
