#i hate arguments

[greco-roman-jewess]

I would like to live in a Jewish world that isn’t full of exhausting partisan arguments.

I should give this blog a little more attention or something (it's starting to gather dust).

Anyway, Venti in an argument headcanons since I can't sleep :P.

- Avoids arguments as much as possible. Tries to humor the situation (he doesn't downplay the situation, much less [the traveler's] feelings. He takes it seriously, he just doesn't like the tension).

- Even though he hates it, if he sees that the situation requires it, he will remain serious and leave the jokes aside.

- This boy hates yelling, a lot, from both sides. If he's already usually calm (someone who expresses emotions in a soft way), when it comes to an argument (when he's feeling really upset), he tends to shut himself down completely or (when he's feeling mad) jump over the line of "shut up" to "shout" very quickly.

If it's the other person who gets angry:

- Laughs nervously and tries to calm [the traveler] down.

- He stands completely still. He can barely maintain eye contact.

- He tends to run his thumb along the palm of his hand a lot, sometimes burning himself. He needs to do something with his hands to keep them still.

- His voice will become lower in tone and the sentences will become shorter as the discussion gets more heated.

- Broken voice when trying to speak. He will cough/swallow hard from time to time due to the "lump" in his throat.

- He will end up nodding/shaking his head. "Mhm" and "m-hm" for "yes" and "no" as he does not feel the strength to say words.

- He will force himself to speak anyway because the last thing he wants is for [the traveler] to feel ignored.

- He hates being told "you hear me!?/are you even listening to me?!" when he doesn't answer "appropriately", another reason he forces himself to speak.

- Thinks a lot before saying the slightest word.

- He will leave the room as soon as he starts being yelled at. He doesn't like the feeling, it makes him really anxious.

- He cries, a lot. He still doesn't like making any noises, so you can't bearly hear him when he cries.

- When [the traveler] has calmed down and Venti is ready to continue the discussion, he will write instead of talk. Sometimes he reads what he writes after some time has passed.

- If he knows he has done something wrong, he will be the first to approach and apologize. Sometimes he will need help from an explanation to know what is wrong and what needs to change.

- So many apologies. The phrase "I'm sorry" loses it's meaning inside his head. -› "I don't know what to say, 'I'm sorry' feels like the only right thing to say right now, sorry..."

If he is the one who gets angry:

- He still doesn't like shouting. He'll try to speak as quietly as possible, but if the feeling is too intense, the only way he'll talk is if he shouts.

- Short phrases and sentences or literally a damn speech, there's no middle ground.

- Gesticulation. He may be able to knock something over if it is within his range of motion when moving his arms and hands.

- When he's not gesturing, he tends to dig his nails into the palms of his hands when clenching his fists.

- Lots of eye contact.

- He doesn't think much before speaking. He ends up regretting many things when he recaps the conversation when he's alone.

- Either he swears a lot or no bad words come out of his mouth, no middle ground here either.

- Some words in another language often slip out when he shouts.

- "Get out of my sight." when he sees that [the traveler] doesn't makes sense and he's tired of trying.

- He will probably cry out of anger.

- Sighs, many in fact. He pinches the bridge of his nose while closing his eyes very hard repeatedly too.

- He will never be the one to speak first to solve the problem. A bit childish, and he knows it, but if he hasn't done anything wrong, why should he be the one to move heaven and earth to solve it?

- He won't stop being angry until he receives a sincere apology. After said apology, he will return to being the same smiling boy as always.

I don't know what got into me to do this (I've been having lots of arguments for almost a month, save me).

People need to stop blaming 'parasocial relationships' when it's revealed to the public that a famous person has done something controversial (or even a crime) and the public is upset. 'I can't believe xxx did that!' doesn't always mean that the person who said it has a parasocial relationship with xxx. Usually it's just our faith in humanity, we want to believe that everyone has some basic human decency (especially someone we might admire) and it's only natural to be disappointed when we learn they're a bad person.

The thing is... if you think the pursuit of glory is stupid and immature and kind of worthless, this should probably make Achilles a more compelling Greek hero to you because his entire character arc is coming to the same fucking conclusion.

At the Embassy, Achilles spells it out--he has come to realize he values his life more than he values glory, more than he values the riches Agamemnon has promised him. He had a few days to think about it, and it turns out dying in a war that has nothing to do with him for men who don't respect him just doesn't seem that great a deal to him anymore. He wants to go home. There is the complication that all the other Greeks will die without Achilles' participation in the war, and so it is Phoenix, his mentor, and Ajax, his friend, who convince him not to leave then and there. He decides to stay and see what happens.

When Patroclus dies, Achilles realizes there was something he valued more than his own life--his friend. Without him, his life has lost that value he only just found, so he might as well pursue revenge or the empty glory and riches he no longer cares about. That's his tragedy.

By the end of the Iliad, Achilles is very much of the opinion that glory and riches weren't worth it, and when we see him again in the Odyssey, he says he would have rather been a long-lived humble shepherd or something rather than briefly a king of men.

So I guess my point is if your beef with Achilles is that glory is stupid, well, he agrees with you. Congrats on having the greatest of the greeks on your side. I've heard he's great in a fight.

i have a special hatred for liberal zionists who say "you're not helping Palestinians" and pretending to advocate for us. keep our names out of your mouth. you do not speak for us. only talking about how you feel victimized while we watch people die of bombardment and starvation. i would rather you admit your selfishness than for you to pretend to care about us only to use us for your own self interests.

sorry but the whole "jason fans are delulu if they think he's a feminist" thing is hilarious. no, he's not a feminist, in the sense that he's not primarily focused on politically fighting for women's liberation. sorry to break this to you, but neither are any of your favourite male superheroes. nor your favourite female superheroes, for that matter. dc sure isn't writing stories through genuine feminist lenses anymore, come the fuck on.

logan purrs when he's asleep. he purrs like a content little cat when he's smushed into wade's side, his whole adamantium weight pressing into wade who doesn't really mind because ✨️who in their right mind says no to wolvie cuddles✨️ (wade uses him as a weighted blanket anyway, who needs air pffffft he doesn't)

but HOLY MARVEL JESUS he has a silent freak out the first time he discovers logan purring in his sleep during one of their movie binges. (they have weekly movie nights fight me)

a healthy (not) bout of cuteness aggression happens that night and even though wade is a little confused both by the fact that logan actually fell asleep on him and that HE IS PURRING OH MY GOD- he doesn't fight it and even naps with him (the best sleep both of them have ever had considering lots of nights are full with nightmares and insomnia)

and the thing is- wade very carefully talks to some of the surviving xmen in their universe about it and they just go 🤔🤨❓️ because not one of them has ever seen or heard logan do this (i'd imagine maybe kayla or mariko, scott even - logan told him about them, but hey wade can't really ask them can he) and then wade REALIZES and it hits him SO hard. logan is comfortable with him. he's at ease and relaxed enough in his presence to allow himself to slip into his slightly more animalistic traits without having to fear any judgement or rejection. he. is. comfortable. and wade maybe cries a little (a lot) at that realisation, holding logan even tighter when it happens again - the older man slumped against him during one of their movie nights, sleeping tight and soft purrs vibrating deep from his chest

I think everyone who is so upset about F1 Academy needs to take a breath and remember this is not the only series they are racing in.

The end goal is not to take some 16 yr old girl and just shove her into an f1 car and call it a success. The goal is to get these women up the formula 1 ladder and do it in a realistic manner. Most of these girls are competing in their various f4 seasons at the same time. Or others like lia block do rally cross, doriane pin was supposed to race in le mans, chloe chambers is killing it in America! The goal of f1 academy is to fucking normalize women being successful in motorsport and giving them opportunities to be successful!

Like when talking about f1 academy we talk about how the cars are 'to slow' but the important part is they are in the cars and getting that practice and those points and the cost isn't coming out of their pockets. F1 academy is getting these girls into f1 teams development programs. Which is huge because if you look at it you'll realize both Bianca Bustamante and Maya weug are the first women in their teams respective programs!

They are getting access to equipment, facilities, trainers, and some of the best teams in the world for motorsport and all of this is in part to f1 Academy. And this series is allowing them to get a majorly important thing, say it with me now, SPONSORS! Because let's be real if they didn't have the publicity of f1 academy they likely wouldn't have some of their life changing sponsorships.

Anyways this makes no sense but everyone should shut up and go support these ladies because there's a chance the future female f1 driver is out there watching right now and she deserves to feel inspired, represented, and supported from the very beginning

'i hate jason grace because he thought he was worthy enough to compete with percy' I'm sorry have y'all SEEN jason. this man defeated a TITAN without weapons and his bare hands to the point the titan wanted to rise from the UNDERWORLD with the help of a GODDESS to seek vengeance over him. I think we can cut him slack for having some well deserved self respect bc I'd brag too wtf

It’s just like. We have Robby, the kid who grew up with no one. Whose only friends were two adult men who used him and turned violent the second he pushed back. Who slept on the couch while his addict mother brought home strings of random, strange men over and over again. Whose dad was never there at all. Who got drunk for the first time in his life and was sexually assaulted. And then we have Tory, the girl who watched her dad hurt her mom. Who bragged about needing to fend off creepy men with a spiked bracelet. Whose landlord tried to extort her for sex at 16 years old. Who has been repeatedly sexualized throughout the show. These are the kids who become karate influencers—not because of their skills, not because of any victories or trophies, but because they kissed on live television and people want to objectify them. Because they’re good looking kids and sex sells. That’s their happy ending. Trapped forever in the cycles of violence and abuse that have consumed their entire childhoods. What the fuck.
