I always wanna bring up my philosophical problems with Christianity to my younger brothers who are still into it and just say like “don’t you think this doesn’t make any sense?” but I don’t know if they have thought of those thing yet or would ever think of them on their own so I don’t dare cause the last thing I wanna be responsible for is disillusioning them :/
This is real. Idk a lot of times I have found that it's not logic that keeps people tied to xtianity and it's not even logic that drives them away. If they become disillusioned with it, that won't be your responsibility, and if they stay with it, that will also be their choice. However, if they are routinely expressing beliefs that bother you or you disagree with, imo it's worth it to make your disagreement known. Sometimes it's something you have to do for your own peace of mind, especially if it's stuff with an imperialist or gender essentialist vibe. In my experience, it probably won't be the thing that decides them one way or the other. And it shouldn't be! People have to think about these things on their own terms

abt the Impulse thing, as far as i know, the reason it's still up is that it's a sponsorship
so he can't take it down without getting into legal trouble
Ohh good to know good to know
It sucks getting stuck in legal things and you can't get out of them without causing yourself HEAPS of trouble. Contracts be like that sadly
I kinda had a feeling that might be it but I've not been able to look at it yet. And have NO idea what it would even be LOL. So you just saved me some time
I know some content creators avoid stuff like that for that very reason. And good on them, sometimes you never know what you are getting into even if you do your research. Cause some places will and have kept things out of the public eye
As a friend said there sadly will always be something problematic in things. Its def a scale of well that sucks and holy shit what the fuck is wrong with them. Being critical of the media you enjoy is a must, but you can enjoy media that isn't good. Enjoying it doesn't make you a bad person. Being critical doesn't make you a hater either
Something we all should do. Cause I know I like media that isn't great but I'm also critical of the flaws!
But thank you for the info non! Always good to learn as much as possible

Loved your time travel fix it synopsis(seriously I’ll probably be dwelling on it all day). I also realized Negan is ironically in the same boat as Maggie, he gets the love of his life back, but it costs him a child.
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 thanku so much omg 🤧 technically i have started writing it but it's like. a mess. but i do never stop thinking about it cfhdgdvdf
also yes!!!!! i think i put something about annie in my original tags but i was also trying to not Spiral so i kept it short and brief but like.
wanna think about a negan that has loved and lost lucille, who has carved himself out to be a saviour to his people, yet a monster to others, who has been through hell and back and has survived what should've been certain death, and came out the other side.
wanna think about how he met and found and learned to love again with annie, and how he got to exist and live as a person who had someone waiting for him at the end of each day, after each run, someone to care for, and someone who cared about him after every fight.
wanna think about him having a kid, and holding his child in his arms. naming them and loving them, creating a family he never dreamed he'd get.
then the world restarts, and he's waking up in a house he hasn't called home for years, and his wife–his lucille–is sick but alive, and his brains so fucking scrambled trying to catch up, but it's lucille.
he would do anything for her.
then the complexities of like. confessing to lucille everything he'd done and everything he became and all the things he'd done in her name, the bone deep grief over looking at his wife and wanting her more than anything, can not believe he gets a second chance with her–hell, a third chance even–yet sometimes when she holds his hand, all he can think about is how it doesn't feel the way he's used to anymore. her hands aren't warn and scared like annie's were, and that cuts him to the core.
the way he can sometimes hear a baby crying, just slightly out of his sight, but every time he opens his eyes, there's nothing there. but lucille is, and he knows things will never be the same again.
idk. theres LOTS to think about and i love absolutely every fucking second I LOVE TIME TRAVEL AU'S

i admit i initially thought the cat was a creep. alice in wonderland prejudiced me. i have revised my notions of smiling cats
i've decided the cat is a metaphor for the magic of a robust public transport system
