Kapri, Marah, and Cam. Maybe as evil cousin trio?

Title: look at this tangle of thorns Rating: T Relationships: Cam Watanabe & Kapri & Marah; Cam Watanabe & Wind Ninja Rangers & Thunder Ninja Rangers; Cam Watanabe/Shane Clarke; Tori Hanson/Kapri; Dustin Brooks/Marah. Characters: Cam Watanabe; Marah; Kapri; Tori Hanson; Shane Clarke; Dustin Brooks; Blake Bradley; Hunter Bradley; Kanoi Watanabe; Lothor; Zurgane; Vexacus. Additional Tags: Cam Gets His Own Green With Evil Arc; Kapri and Marah Earn Their Colors; Lothor Not Being Nearly As Terrible as He Could Have Been; Late Night Baking; Lothor Being a Petty Bitch to Kanoi; Tori Realizing She's Bi Much Later Than She Would Have if there were at LEAST ONE OTHER Girl on Her Team; Lesbian Kapri; BAMF Tori; Girlboss Kapri; Cam Watanabe Needs a Hug; Marah is actually the stable cousin (who knew?); Chocolate Tomato Cake. Summary:

This is such a power imbalance that it is unreal and unfair and the sisters under Lothor's reign and control were feeling...a little bit not great about this thing that their uncle has decided to do to Cam.

Green Rangers are traditionally and eternally easy targets for being made to mind control or turned over to evil because the Morphin Grid might do its best to take care of them, but Green is an agent of chaos. And chaos is all kinds of susceptible to being made into a puppet on a string. Even a Wind Samurai Ranger that spends most of his time underneath the compound of the academy with his father; Cam had to go up top to get himself actually good coffee and check in on the late, late, late ninjas the morning after an important track thing for their shop.

And...it was fun, in the beginning, watching the Rangers cry out when Cam walked away into their uncle's open arms. Observing him in their own little way as he planned battle tactics and made new lethal weapons toys for them to play with. Practiced on the mats with him without holding back like they were told to while out in the field.

Fighting beside him in the field, drunk on battle pride and adrenaline was awesome.

But Kapri has always been a protector type (deep deep deep down). And Marah could never handle seeing an innocent creature suffer without doing something about it (even if it meant doing it on the sly, because no fucking way was she going to get caught being nice when everyone already thought she was a joke).

So Cam is going to go home....it will just take a little conjuring. And a significant entanglement of mistakes.

I saw a stupid post on instagram about how being called skinny made this person change how they dress and wrecked their confidence and blah blah and with very few exceptions all the comments were like “oh mean fat people! It hurts just as much getting told to eat a burger than being told to stop eating burgers.” And its like I’m sorry you feel bad about your body, but until skinny people are consistently being told to get invasive surgeries or to take potentially dangerous medicines to get fat I will not feel bad for you for being skinny. Like genuinely, I do feel for anyone who is insecure about how they look, that is a shame. But you cannot tell me that it’s because you get bullied for being skinny.

POST MORE SWORD OF FATE PLS IM BEGGING

i have very little in terms of actual art LMAO but i CAN explain the sword thing because i checked and i did in fact never make this plot point public. i struggled for a while with creating a villain for this story until i realized that. i put "sword" in the title of the game. of course it has to be about the fucking sword. DUH.

so i want SOF to deal very heavily with religion, specifically the way in which hyrule's religion forms post-sksw but pre-reincarnation. i've placed it on the timeline directly after sksw, making it the first actual reincarnation in hyrule. what this means is that there's no actual proof yet that the reincarnation thing is real and not just an insane bluff on demise's part, and so several key characters including link and zelda barely believe in hylia or demise at all when the story starts. my thought with this setting's version of ganon is that he's the polar opposite of the nonbelievers. The gerudo don't really exist as of now, but he DOES come from the desert region of hyrule--specifically, he was raised in a cultlike offshoot of the sheikah religion which interpreted the hylia/demise myth completely literally and believes that a doomsday is coming, heralded by the foretold return of demise. Because of this, he knows more about the cycle and how to set it in motion than basically any other character. Crucially, he and his people are some of the only ones at this point aware of the existence of the master sword.

ganon finds. a sword. a sword which he THINKS is the master sword. and this theory is only reinforced when the sword begins to speak to him about his destiny and the salvation of hyrule. unfortunately it is not the master sword and he ends up basically a pawn in the greater plans of what's left of demise & ghirahim within that sword, manipulated into attempting to revive demise and destroy the reincarnated hero and princess. he remains in denial until basically the very end of the final battle, completely convinced that he is the true savior of hyrule and LINK is the one being misled. ghirahim is a very good manipulator lol

Minor throwaway sentence in a book on corruption I've just finished was talking about 1930s gangsters and about certain organisations in Chicago which the author stated were more ethnically diverse than the Italian mafia, and whose members were said to have included 'Irish, Welsh, Italian, and Jewish' gangsters.

Now call me sheltered but I've seen MANY Italian American gangsters immortalised in film, I've heard of the Jewish mob, and the police Irish American gangs but I have yet to see a movie about the Welsh mob. As a rule I don't go in for gangster movies but I feel there's an unfilled niche here and also I need more info.

I need a Morcia conversation about Luke where Morgan asks what's holding her back and Penelope bursts out that she wasn't going to do this again.

And when Morgan finally gets her to explain, she explains that she loves the way they are and their friendship just as it is, and she doesn't want to change it, but there was a moment, just one moment, when she realized she wanted more.

And she swore right then that she wouldn't do it again. She wasn't going to replace Morgan with some other unfairly pretty man who was good at bantering with her. And she wasn't going to fall in love with someone who was never going to love her back the same way.

And Morgan just looks at her for a moment, recalling her once saying to him that just because he wouldn't cross a crowded room to hit on her didn't mean everyone else was that shallow, and how they never really cleared that up...and finally says:

"You know I had a moment too?"

And Penelope just blinks at him, because WHAT?

"A few actually."

More confused blinking.

"I'd look over at you and you'd be doing something so you, and I'd think god...I am in love with this woman. But it was never the right time. I wasn't ready for that. Then I was, but you were with Phil, or Kevin. Or you were going on a date with some hot guy you rescued at a coffee shop."

"Derek," Penelope says, and she is stunned, totally stunned, because he's talking about years. YEARS of their friendship pining in silence. "Why didn't you ever say something?"

"Because like I said...it was never the right time. You were with other people. Then I was. And...truth be told, I was scared. What if it didn't work out? What if I lost what we had already? I was always too afraid to take that risk. I didn't want to fade out of your life."

"Never," Penelope says.

"Yeah, I know that now. But you know...sometimes I think there was another reason."

"Yeah?"

"I moved on. And you moved on, a few times. But do you see the way Alvez looks at you? After three years since your only date? He isn't gonna just move on, Penelope. That poor man is so gone over you."

Penelope laughs, like a sad watery crying laugh though.

"You wanna know a secret?"

"Always."

"I haven't dated anyone since then either."

Derek smiles.

And that's how Penelope finally lets herself love Luke back.

Local libraries getting rid of physical medias such as newspapers, magazines, cds, dvds, and audiobooks is turning experiencing art into a privilege instead of a right but I don't think you guys are ready for that conversation

[horsemage]

I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂

sometimes I think about how when I went to college for a year before I dropped out (basically failed out,) the counselors/dean told me they can't help me at all or give any accommodations unless I have an official autism/adhd diagnosis. that might sound logical at first, but when you think about it more, it's actually quite fucked up. if someone is struggling really bad, what's the harm in helping them? why do they require a paper to get even the smallest amount of help? people who don't need help aren't going to be failing miserably without help! even NTs could benefit from some adjustments to the horrible school system! (but changing the entire system is a whole other conversation that the school system isnt ready for)

but even if you do agree to jump through their hoops, you realize it's even more fucked up that the diagnosis process requires YEARS in most cases (in my case it took 4 or 5 years, can't recall exactly now, for autism/adhd diagnosis, which would have meant i finished school before getting it if i managed to mot fail out, or i wait that long before going back, which is a whole struggle itself) and they also tried billing me for THOUSANDS of dollars because of insurance issues!!

so you put a ton of time and money into this, and then get told the only accommodation they are willing to give you for autism and adhd is "a little extra time on tests"

....

my test scores were the best part of my whole class experience. that was NOT what I struggled with!!!!! those tests were all online and could be done in the comfort of your home where you can accommodate yourself and have plenty of time left over when you finish them because you are comfy in your own space, (and also, no one was stopping you from having your notes/books/google open to find the answers,) and you don't even need a time consuming, expensive diagnosis for that!

SO WHAT'S THE POINT!!!!!!!

Professionals like doctors, therapists whatever rlly are just some guys at the end of the day. Like yes they've trained more and have expertise and yes you should place trust in them if they are reliable but you also need to trust your gut because that isn't an infalliable God giving you advice it's John the 43 year old who happens to have gone into medicine.

If you feel like they're taking advantage of you or being unprofessional or gaslighting you NEED to get out of there and (if u can) report their asses to a professional body!!!! Like do not let these ppl get away with treating you awfully cause they have a degree and I say that as someone who has a Professional Degree ™ (law) and is working towards practicing.

You know how everyone distrusts lawyers and thinks we're scummy? You need to be applying that level of distrust to a lot more professions you rely on. If you feel like dogshit and your doctor dismisses your concerns or says youre just anxious or fat and you think something else is wrong PLEASE go seek a second opinion.

at first i considered engage to be one of the more strategic harder fire emblems (and compared to three houses it definitely is but thats a low bar) but no. its power fantasy. currently my main powerhouse is ivy + soren. they obliterate everything that dares to not have high resistance. wyvern rider? one shot. high def unit? one shot. everyone does decent damage at this point but for a unit i wrote off as a unit i only put on the field because i like her at first.

Okay so since the Ramona brainrot is strong rn I’ve calculated the scientific amount of kids these two would have.

So I’m going with the assumption that mona is closest to a komono dragon and that Raph would be a species of box turtle.

So box turtles will have a clutch ranging from 3-8, that’s an average of 5.5 eggs per clutch.

Komono dragons lay anywhere between 20-30 eggs in a clutch, that’s an average of 25. (If we ignore the fact that salamanders often Cannibalise their own young, but since both Mona and Raph are mutants with high intelligence I’m going to assume that Mona will not stress snack her own kids)

If we calculate the average between 5.5 and 25, we get 15.25 eggs, if the average clutch number for both species mixed perfectly.

So when Raph and Mona have kids, nothing goes wrong that would result in infanticide, they would have 15 kids.

i'm just begging for the jennifer coolidgification / kathryn hahnification of lisa ann walter. give her a role in something where she gets to prove what a good dramatic actress she is, not just the side character. it would fix us i think. by us i mean the lgbts.
