“‘Sirius Black showed he was capable of murder at the age of sixteen,’ he breathed. ‘You haven’t forgotten that, Headmaster? You haven’t forgotten that he once tried to kill me?’

‘My memory is as good as it ever was, Severus,’ said Dumbledore quietly.”

like are you kidding me? are you being fr rn? snape is a better person than i am because if someone said that about my bullying and abuse i would’ve gotten scrappy and scary. victim of abuse that he knows about and his best teacher and the only one who tried to protect anyone or fix anything and is basically the reason lupin had wolfsbane at all that all just got thrown back in his face in the worst ways possible. i would’ve been in jail ten minutes later actually. holy shit man

Ms. Crosby reported that the Alabama Department of Corrections told her that her son “fell off his bunk and hit his head on the ground.” But ADOC told the Montgomery Advertiser that Mr. Crosby was found “in distress in his cell” on January 21 and had been assaulted two weeks earlier.

Literally was gonna post Gingi's threatening Tango with jail time (I love that there's no logic for him going to jail btw they both just get so lost in the fantasy) but I can't even bc it just makes me so sad that fucking beast can be so cruel for no reason

The tragedy of succession is that everyone is a villian. Shiv and Tom drama can`t be solved by point a finger at one of the two and saying "she/he is the one on the wrong" because they are both are. They both have been horrible people to each other. Putting the blame in just one goes against what the show wants to say.

I hope Misty walks in on the fish and demands it be moved to a 20 gallon tank with proper filtration and lots of enrichment. (you just know she knows how to take care of fish)

They can make it a metaphor about suffering or cruelty or abandonment or whatever. I'm ok with fictional fish being kept in bowls as long as the point is that it's cruel. Because in real life, it is absolutely cruel.

BNHA AU where post-War, Shigaraki and AFO have been successfully separated and Tomura survives it all abd is apprehended, and sent to a facility to be reformed. And his most frequent visitor is Mirio. Who has every intention to help him, make his time there easier, and overall just be a friend to him

even locally (specifically locally) there has been a lot of terrifying awful news. so. life is scary recently

Horst: It's not very sociable in these barracks. [He laughs.] Is it?

Max: It's all right.

Horst: Right. You got a yellow star.

Max: [pointing to Horst's pink triangle] How'd you get that?

Horst: I signed a petition.

Max: And?

Horst: That was it.

do you think the researchers and the mtf guys and the guards and everyone else at the scp foundation have labour unions. how do you sue your employer that has mistreated you as a worker if they do not exist in the public eye like, at all.

being in this criminal justice class is fun because i like it but i often times really have to control myself because i fell into this formed friend group because my actual friend in that class is very sweet so she makes friends with everyone and i want to make things smooth i dont want to make things awkward, but its very hard to control my temper when i have to discuss why inmates deserve to be rightfully and fully compensated for the work they do in prison, with white people. the way i had to state "Well we dont want slavery here right"

I figured since it's so 'complicated' and hard to see in that other post, I wanted to show Cal's wolf form.

He's a piebald werewolf bc its fun and im playing barbies with my ocs, they will be as 'stupid and over the top and op' as i want

He looks kinda like a border collie and isn't intimidating what so ever and ill never 1:1 these markings but i like the design. y have just a white or black wolf when u can do whatever bc its fake :)))

Cal is 'purebred' werewolf, but with all the genetics that the kingdom is playing with, I figured there'd be some funky things colors wise. Purebred in this case is his mother is from a long line of Collar Knight breeders. Cal's father, like most 'sanctioned' donors, was a random prisoner of state turned werewolf.

this is made using an old wolf lineart of mine and i have multiple werewolf (or au werewolf) characters that i use this for just a quick idea of their markings. There's issues but you get the jist lol.

“JAIL CONDITIONS HELD FAVORABLE,” Montreal Jail. August 22, 1930. Page 3. ---- Prisoners' Welfare Association Finds No Cause For Complaint ---- The Prisoners' Welfare Association has no complaint to make with regard to the treatment meted out to the inmates of Canadian penitentiaries, writes Charles Fyfe, honorary treasurer, to Colonel Piuze, the warden of St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, in reference to the complaints made recently in court by Jules Legace, when he was arraigned after his escape. The association would not hesitate to complain about cruel treatment, for the prisoners' welfare has always been the first thought in the mind of the organization, adds the letter.

"The writer has visited all the penitentiaries throughout Canada, Mr. Fyfe continues, and is convinced of their superior administration compared with similar institutions across the line.

When Legace was recaptured, and before sentence was passed on him, he complained to Justice Enright about ill-treatment at the penitentiary.

Col. Pluze said: "While all members of the penitentiary were doing their utmost to protect our society, certain newspapers had made a regular hero of the escaped convict, who had caused so much trouble and inconvenience."

Mr. Fyfe in his letter remarks: "It is with regret that I have noted the publicity which attended the evidence of Legace in court, for on the whole, we have been very favorably impressed with the class of men leaving your institution. They have in the main considered themselves well and humanely treated, and have come out with an adroitness of manner, and a very hopeful attitude toward life, which discounts the idea suggested by Legace of ill-treatment.

i'm gonna delete the instead of ted bundy consider stanning the guy from the article dog day afternoon is based on rb post. apparently there's more to the story

(this post talks a bit about it)

[dunmeshistash]

Okay I think I'm ready to write the second part of this post about Milsiril

To make it easier for me I'll just divide this into her relationship with Kabru, Mithrun and Helki (her ex-canary prisoner teammate)

First about Kabru

This is an extra from the daydream hour 5. The caption says "Something like this might as well have happened" so its probably not canon but could be. I honestly think his reaction to Milsiril visiting and being overbearing says a lot about the type of relantionship they have. This is the fakest bitch in the whole of dungeon meshi, he never says what he trully thinks unless there's an advantage to doing so, he's a people pleaser that does and says anything to make people like/trust him. And yet he immediatly converts into "Mooooooom you're embarassing meeeeee" when he sees it's Milsiril.

This translation used "Mom" but as I understand the original he uses the more formal version so I think it would be closer to "Mother" but still he acknowleges her as his Mother, and he acts like her kid in every interaction we see between them.

I really don't understand where the idea that he learned to be fake from being "forced" to be her adoptive son comes from.

(Continuing under a cut)

The other interaction we see between them is the Kabru extra from the Adventurer's Bible

Kabru comes to her with a deep fear he clearly has had even before she adopted him, he trusted her with this fear and she did not disappoint him, she comforted him and then gave him the information he needed to believe what she was saying

I'd also like to point out in no moment she discouraged him from calling his his bio-mom "Mom". He also says she taught her children everything they asked

I doubt this would only be true for him, it also mirrors something she said in the manga

"You can go ahead and learn all you want about something else." I believe it when Kabru says she made every effort to answer her children's questions. I think this is also the way she expresses the love she has for them. Plus I love the thought bubble with Kabru mirroring what he learned from her. I also love this daydream hour, she sacrifices her own comfort to do something for Kabru.

Milsiril isn't a perfect mother tho, besides the fact she is overprotective she comes from a very different culture from her children. I like to call her Kabru's white mom cause I think that would be the real world equivalent. This extra is the one I think the most about showing this context perfectly

Kabru wants to share Utaya sweets but looks at his mom looking gloomy/rejected so he talks about fruitcake instead. This very rude for Milsiril to do since she's kinda trying to overwrite his actual cultural background, but I think its done more as a "I want you to like the things I like" rather than something nefarious, and once again Kabru doesn't hide at all his distaste for it, he does the bare minimum to please his mom since she's being dramatic but he doesn't lie to her, he shows how displeased he is about fruitcake, something he refuses to do when eating the harpy omelette that is way worse, because he must make a good impression for Laios. Kabru is honest with his overbearing white mom once again.

Now a little about Rin, from Kabru's context, this is her extra in the Adventurer's Bible

(look at Helki he's such a gremlin i love him) anyway, Rin has a trauma about elves, they really mistreated her so she hates them, but when they notice she isn't thriving they go to Milsiril for help (Helki specifically I'll talk more about him next). I think this indicates she really has a better understanding of short lived kids, her kids are thriving differently from the ones the other elves try to care for. I'd also like to remember she lives secluded from other elves so while Kabru probably had lots of interactions with elves during his life, most of it was probably spent with Milsiril and her other adoptive kids. She also asks Kabru if he would do this to help Rin, he isn't being forced or anything, I also think it's good that Milsiril knows she cant take in any more kids, this to me shows she's worried about the quality of life her kids have. That is all to say, Rin is the one with elf trauma, not Kabru, because Kabru had Milsiril to shelter him from them.

Helki

This will be short and sweet since there's barely anything about Helki, he's her prisioner companion from her time in the canaries, but he was pardoned after Utaya, it says so in the Canarie's Structure page in the new adventurer's guide but I cant really find it translated again... so here's google's machine translation (I remember it saying "Retired and pardoned as a reward after Utaya", something like that)

so officially he isn't a prisoner anymore, but I think he still works as a canary, even so he and Milsiril seem quite close, he is the one to go talk to her about Rin, He is there when she's training Kabru (both laughing at Kabru and then participating). I saw people theorizing she stays close to him because he is also someone who she can feel superior to, but I don't believe it at all, he's STILL in contact with her even after they have nothing to with each other, I think they really have a friendship, and there's no point where it seems like she feels like she's better than him or that he's less than her, people seem to interpret Milsiril and her relationships in the worst possible ways every time and I don't understand why.

This segways into Mithrun

I've also seen people assuming she only got close to Mithrun because now he needs her and has no power over her, once again with the theory that Milsiril surrounds herself with people she can feel superior to. But once again, Milsiril had a change of perspective about Mithrun after seeing his Dungeon

Rather than she feeling superior to him I think rather she realized he was just like her. (And I think she's friends with Helki for a similar reason, it's probably easier to see him as an equal than other nobles)

I've also seen this part used as proof of that. "He said that you've got suspicious ulterior motives and that I shouldn't listen to you" as if that's true, but this is past Mithrun, the one that didn't trust anyone and thought ill of all his teammates, ofc he doesn't believe someone would help him without an ulterior motive. This doesn't prove much about her real motivations.

Also before she showed up, Mithrun was being cared for by servants hired by his brother, he isn't someone helpless she has power over, he is still a member of an important Noble family that has a caring brother providing for him, he can do without Milsiril, he had done without her for 20 years before Utaya happened and she quit the Canaries.

This is all to say I think Milsiril is just a white(elf) adoptive mom doing her best, I don't see much of anything nefarious about her or her motivations, she is flawed as all the dunmeshi characters are, she isn't a perfect mom, she isn't an evil mom, she's just a person.

Elves in general also see short lived species as "children" so I imagine this makes her "You'll always be my baby" attitude way worse, she really treats pre-teen/teen Kabru like he's a toddler sometimes. But she also respected him enough to go all out in training him. I think they're a family with everything that entails.

PS: I didn't get much into Interracial adoption since this is something that happens irl too and I don't know much about all the issues that entails, but in the end, in this case, it seems like a net positive for the kids she adopts considering all we see about how she raised Kabru.

*sharpening blade*

Oh, hi there! I didn't see you there. What's that? What am I doing? Oh, good of you to ask! This is the blade I'm sharpening to kill everyone that posts character hate in series tags!

You, uh, you haven't been doing that lately, have you? I'm sure you haven't.
