#i fucking hate this.

[irawhiti]

i really fucking hate being homeless but at least i live in an international dark zone. like... i've managed to map out all four cardinal directions with māori star mapping, i always had my own personal (very rough) star maps but now i literally just don't get lost anymore since i know how to follow every direction now. the sky is amazing. you genuinely live by the moon phases out here, the full moon is completely bright out and the new moon is so overwhelmingly dark that your phone torch only gets through a metre or two of the darkness.

also the ocean.

you REALLY don't understand the ocean until you see it in an area that hasn't been commodified and destroyed and tamed by hundreds of years of colonisation and then it's like... oh, wow. holy shit. it's just... awe inspiring, and very very dangerous, and also extremely fucking angering since you discover that, when they're left alone, beaches are absolutely fucking FULL of life. they're not just a kilometre of flat sand followed by mild waves, long tamed by docks and jetties every half mile or so. it's really something you'll just not understand until you spend a few days at a completely untamed beach.

living in both the inner city and the most backwards remote parts of the country has shown me that i should be very fucking angry at what capitalism has taken from us all.

they took the skies from us. they took the seas from us. they took the land from us. foraging is now illegal. camping on the beach is illegal. a child takes a shell off the beach; they are a criminal. accidentally going off the path and into the completely unused yet private land? illegal.

this has only been an issue in the past hundred years or so. LISTEN to me.

mercury levels in fish is now an issue for islanders; it never was before. IT WAS NEVER AN ISSUE UNTIL THE PAST HUNDRED YEARS. DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE THINK, MERCURY LEVELS IN FISH HAS ONLY BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE PAST CENTURY. LISTEN TO ME.

the ocean levels are rising due to climate change, this has destroyed the homes of many islanders; their livelihoods have been designated as illegal. european diaspora, after hunting hundreds if not thousands of animals to near extinction, have made it internationally illegal to hunt the animals that make up the vast majority of the diet of pacific islanders. despite all this, the law is on their side! the law! is on! their side! that's ignoring the fact that ecofascism is very easy for governments to take over! blame the random torres strait islander for eating sea turtle soup like they've done for millennia, don't look too close at the company that uses slave labour in the philippines! it's easy enough not to look, it's not like you're affected by it! it's so easy not to feel guilty! fuck!

listen to me.

they've already taken everything from us. there is nothing left to lose. please, fucking listen to me. they're not threatening to take the skies from us with drones, THEY ALREADY HAVE.

so, what now?

Honestly.. this is really fucking me up.

He hasn’t responded. He’s probably not going to.

…

How does someone go from being someone who you feel you can trust with all your vulnerabilities… commits to shaping goals for you within your dynamic. Talks to you for most of the week, every week for over four months… then fucking this. Nothing.

…

Are we just never going to speak again?

"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.

IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??

BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.

I will never forgive CinemaSins for how they contributed to the decline in media literacy in the last ten years and you can tell them I said that if you want. Not everything that is unexplained in media is plothole. Not every mistake is worthy of scorn and if a twist is visible prior to it hitting, that is not a bad thing. Your trivial nitpicking has set back the human ability to discuss media at least 30 years

"(blank) hates laios!" WRONG WRONG WRONG. SHUT THE FUCK UP

shuro is just as awkward as laios and it is made So clear he considers him a friend and likes him. he defends him when the canaries start talking shit and actively readies himself to physically fight them so they dont get to him.

namari also likes laios. she respects him as a leader and also defends him and readies to fight the canaries.

ive not actually seen anyone claim izutsumi hates laios, but a lot of ppl Are weird abt them. izutsumi and laios' relationship was rocky at the beginning. he struggled to figure out how to interact with her. but by the end, she actively seeks him out to talk with during the lead up to the feast. she hides behind him when falin wakes up. she has already realized shecan do what she wants and does not need to stick around, yet she does. she sleeps near him on the windowsill, waiting with him and marcille for falin to wake up. she has accepted him as part of her life and wants to keep him in it.

marcille does not hate laios. let me say this again.

Marcille Donato Does Not Hate Laios Touden.

marcille Loves him. in a platonic, familial sense. laios returns this just as readily. she yells at him. she whacks him. she tells him whats on her mind. she uses healing magic to ease his pain during the parasite fiasco. she reattaches his leg when he loses it. she teaches him magic. she lays her head on his corpse and cries before reviving him. she launches herself at him two times, when the canaries interrogate them and when he talks her down in the tower. he is a comforting presence to her. she trusts him, she cares about him, she worries about him, she imagines him as a big fluffy dog that loves and protects her. laios is her rock when falin is taken from them time and time again. and she tries to be his as well. she whole-heartedly, unconditionally, loves and trusts laios.

chilchuck does not hate laios. laios pays him his rates, no questions asked. laios trusts and respects chilchuck's job as a lockpick. laios does not see him as a child (at least, i cant think of an instance where he does so). chilchuck states, outright, he sees him as a friend and doesnt want to see him hurt. he actively worries about him as the falin situation gets worse. chilchuck respects laios. he shows almost 0 hesitation in helping get falin back, nor eating her by the end. he does not think of leaving him once, until he realizes he could lose him. chilchuck is cowardly with emotions and prefers to bottle things, so his first instinct was to bolt. he was angry because he was scared of watching someone he cares about destroy himself. laios is his Friend.

and holy shit. holy Fucking shit. kabru DOES NOT hate laios. kabru has the rockiest start known to man with him, and he Still helps him by occupying the canaries. he warns him about them. he hides the black magic from them just as shuro does. his whole Thing is trusting laios despite himself. kabru has his own baggage regarding other people, just like laios, yet he tries so hard to believe and trust this man. he Wants to. kabru is not very hopeful, but laios makes him Want to be. he states like 3 times he wants to be close to him and sees him as a friend. he stays through the entire feast!! the man who hates monsters, whose biggest trigger is monsters, actively, consciously, Willingly stayed through the entire monster meat feast. all to help his friend get his sister back. he could've left!! the feast was like an entire week!! yet he was there for every single day. he was one of the closest people to the door when falin awoke!! after reuniting with her brother, her friends, the people who knew her the most (plus senshi and izutsumi), the first person she greets is kabru!! he wants to be close to laios, he likes laios, laios is his friend and he cares for him, he wants to meet his sister!!! kabru fucking stays on the island with him as one of his closest, most trusted advisors when he becomes king!!!!! he wants to help him succeed!!!! he wants him to be happy!!!! laios is his friend!!!!!!!!

im just. people like laios!! laios is a nice guy! he is friendly and cares about people! he is weird, he doesn't understand most social cues, he oversteps boundaries, but they stay beside him, because they like him and he is their friend. he is their friend!!!!! friendship is not all sunshine and rainbows, relationships in general are not sunshine and rainbows. you will upset people, people will upset you, you will get into arguments, things will happen, but at the end of the day, the people close to you like you! they love you! they care for you! they want to work it out and get through it because they love you, but they will feel those emotions first! human relationships are complex and messy and life is complicated. even shows for toddlers know this.

if you truly believe any of these characters hate laios you are worse than a toddler. watch some fucking oobi or something. god. fuck.

take this

thanks
