It's weird, I never really thought of Pal Action being especially anarchist, and I've been pretty impressed with how focused on impact they've been in the past, but the US socials are really going all in on the anarchist posting. I wonder if its a difference in organizing between the UK and US ones

It's almost like having a principled political line and not just going with "whatever works" based on Instagram infographics matters

TELL US ABOUT THE CONFESSION JIL

@fishy-moirails I GOT YOU BOTH COVERED

first of all thank you for being so interested HUUEHHEUE IT MEANS ALOT 🥺🥺🥺 OTL YYWYEEURHEYRHEE OKOK STORY UNDER READ MORE!!! Bullet point styled writing my beloved

sorry if it seems like it's moving too quickly?? LMAODOAS I JUST WANTED IT TO GO TO THE PART™ AHAHSHFHHSHD there's a lot of skips shshh no I am not rewriting this draft I am winging it on one go

ALSO THIS IS VERY LONG I WARNED U AHSHSHSHDHSHDHEJJR

• tom hates christmas. always does. it was already december 23, two days before christmas

• edd knew that tom would be doing stupid stuff like wrecking havoc, burning down beautifully decorated trees, crushing presents down, that kind of stuff

• he had to think of something clever so that tom wouldn't go ruin the celebration again, it was really exhausting. he NEEDS to be distracted... by something.... or someone

• suddenly, edd had a bright idea. jesse! he had noticed by now that tom and jesse may have a thing going on with each other, but never said anything about it

• edd was the only one who noticed them first being so, subtly sweet to each other, and witnessing tom overreact over the idea of liking jesse — his stunned and red face said it all.

• edd calls up jesse on the phone. a quick wholesome small talk ensued, after a few minutes he asks her for a favor

• "anyways, can you go out with tom, tomorrow?"

• huh!??? it was completely out of the blue. edd suddenly asking jesse to... to... go out with him?? wasn't she subtle about her adoration for him?? it sounded like he knew. but she digress

• edd's reason was that "matt and I are going shopping, and tom is gonna be ..... er... lonely by himself.... uh. yeah"

• (but in reality he really was begging her to keep him distracted from becoming grinch 2.0. he's bad at making reasons)

• that was ..... a very peculiar request. isn't he an adult already? he makes him sound like ton is still a baby. what a way to degrade a man's honor like that.

• "well, I mean.... I guess I can do that, bu-" her voice slowly trailed off into silence

• "GREAT. THANK YOU. SEE YOU LATER" and then edd signs out

• jesse stood there confused, that was incredibly odd??? but no matter, she did want to try to go out with him, she just didn't know how. but now with this prompt suggested by edd, she can't just let it slide — and the most fun holiday was just in a few days

• the next step was actually asking tom to go with her.

• it's probably best she texted him about it.

~~

• back in edd's house, tom sat on the couch minding his own business, and then his phone vibrated

• a message from jesse

• he couldn't help but, feel a little bit of excitement whenever he read that name. they rarely texted, and if they did, it was very short lived, but tom still cherished it

• still, he felt nervous because it was from her!! he was secretly admiring her too, how would you feel if you saw your crush texting you?? you'd wanna act cool even in text!!

• 'hi tom! :D' the message reads out

• he responded casually. 'heya, what's up?"

• 'its x-mas eve tomorrow, and i was wondering if you wanted to come along with me? maybe go to a mall? we can go buy presents for edd, matt and tor.d!'

• a tightness swelled on his throat. he's overthinking now

• xmas.... with her??? tom suddenly felt weird... he had huge distaste for this cheery holiday.... but with her???

• is this a date?? he felt nervous

• she didn't know about his opinion about xmas, nor does he wanna look like an asshole in front of her about it....

• he doesn't want to reject her either — he would love to go out with her anytime...

• ...

• ...maybe christmas doesn't sound so bad...

• he types out his response

• "oh sure, why not? :)"

• thank goodness did texting really mask their actual emotions and red tinted cheeks. but it's settled now

~~

• the next day, it's December 24. edd sleeps comfortably in bed, he's murmuring by himself.

• "mhm..n... christmas eve...."

• edd suddenly shoots up from his bed, eyes wide awake

• IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.

• TOM BETTER NOT BE PREPARING HIS AMMUNITION FOR TOMORROW

• edd runs to his bedroom. he's not there

• CRAP CRAP MAYBE HE'S ALREADY DRAGGING HIS ROCKET LAUNCHER OUT

• edd runs out to the main door of the house. he's still wearing his pajamas

• as he kicks the door open. the area is covered in thick, white snow. and lo and behold — tom is idling in front of the mailbox, all dressed up

• "oh, good morning edd." tom had his hands on his pockets, his head turned back to see edd's terrified look

• edd pauses for a moment... he's going out?

• .... OHH SNAP HE ACCEPTED JESSE'S REQUEST!!!!

• edd played dumb, everything's under control now. he wiped off the nervous look off his face

• "morning tom, looks like you're going out today! where ya goin?" the smug face edd had plastered, ohh he's thriving so hard

• tom froze.

• "UH. NO, I AM JUST STANDING HERE"

• no he's not allowing edd to think he's on a date hell no he's not!!

• edd chuckles, ohh silly little boy he knows what's going on. but he'll let it slide for tom's sake

• "well, have fun standing there! I'm getting cola for breakfast" and edd walks back in, closes the door.

• tom sighs to himself. he's starting to wonder why he's here again, until a voice called to him.

• "tom, you're here!"

• that voice. in an instant his eyes quickly tries to scan for that, familiar sweet voice.

• his eyes lands on jesse, she's dressed in a fluffy jade jacket, and cute white ear warmers.

• he couldn't help but feel, soft inside. her cute stature and smile made him smile.

• "you look nice" he spoke up

• her eyes shrunk at the sweet compliment, she awkwardly twirls her hair and smiles

• "haven't worn this in a while, I'm glad you find it nice, haha" she chuckled

• she's so pretty. he thought

• ”shall we go?"

• he nodded.

~~

• they're in a mall now, as suggested by jesse

• the interiors was filled with christmas themed decorations, a big tree stood in the center of the building, jolly music surrounded the whole place. it feels so festive and bright

• tom cringed at this sight. eugh.

• but, it doesn't feel so, so bad? compared to last time? is it because she's around?

• tom looked at her, excitement filled her eyes, they were sparkling too. she's stoked

• gosh, he could look at her all day if he could

• jesse snaps him out of his trance

• "let's go look in here! maybe there's something here that i could give to matt!"

~~

• they're window-shopping, jesse scans every item available, she's really trying to find a gift for everyone. how thoughtful!

• tom wasn't really looking for anything special, he's just following her. he's not mad though, he's enjoying it actually.

• suddenly, he notices a rack with "mistletoes" labeled above. he stops to look at them. it look pretty.

• "ooh, mistletoes! they're really gorgeous" she notices him staring at them

• "what are these?"

• "...you don't know what are mistletoes?"

• tom shakes his head. he doesn't know. apparently hating christmas means he doesn't really know much about certain items

• "people usually like to hang mistletoes by a doorway, and if two people happen to stand on one together, they... they kiss!"

• "they kiss?"

• "yeah! it's really cute. right?"

• "huh, that's- that's cool"

• he ended up buying one after jesse finished shopping. he didn't show her though. who knows? could come in handy...

~~

• a few hours passed, they definitely had a great time bonding with each other, and being together alone.

• it felt like they truly got to know each other more, and their feelings for each other continued to swirl more

• jesse had to excuse herself to the restroom, so tom waited out for her. her shopping bags sat next to him.

• he was minding his own business, when he hears a couple pass by with an ongoing conversation

• "it's almost 12! we should go check the fireworks later!"

• "oh? where is it?"

• "it's at the outer area of the mall, it's the perfect view to watch the night glitter!!"

• fireworks... he should take her there to end the night

• and, maybe. maybe it was time he told her the truth.

• his face warmed with red, is he really going to tell her now?

• what if it backfires?

• 'am i going to hate christmas even more if things don't go the right way?'

• his worries gets shaken off into thin air when she comes back.

• "i'm back!" she runs to him, and picks up her bags of shopped goods

• "where do you want to go next? or should we go home now?"

• "actually... i heard there's a fireworks display starting soon..." he paused, and gulped

• "... do you wanna go there?" his voice got a little shaky there.

• "i'd love to" she nodded happily

• something about the way she said it, pulled his heartstrings too hard. she would "love to".

• walking outside, there's already a couple of people waiting. some are standing, sitting, and talking to others.

• there's an unoccupied bench, they both took the seat, and waited for the show to begin

• jesse suddenly felt cold, she's shivering a little. she tried to wear her jacket thoroughly and adjusted her earmuffs, but she still continued to shake in her seat

• tom couldn't just sit there and watch her freeze.

• not even saying anything, he scooted himself closer to her, and slowly placed his arm over her side and brought her closer. she jolted at the contact and felt a little flustered.

• "you could've told me you were getting cold" he teased her. that was smooth

• she was going to comment on his smug remark, but she simply thanked him and rested closely to him.

• 'tom. now's your chance'

• time to suck it up and say it here and now

• deep breath. breathe in — out.

• "jesse, can i say something a little odd?"

• "you're odd to me already" she joked. "but go on"

• he takes a moment

• "remember when we first met?" he started

• "i really didn't think we'd become friends from there"

• "i thought i wasn't interesting enough to be your friend"

• "heck, i feel like edd, matt and to.rd combined are far more interesting than me"

• "when you asked me to go out with you today, i-.. i felt — it means a lot to me, y'know?"

• "you're really kind to me. not just me explicitly — but even to my friends, it gave me this hope that maybe not everyone is absolute garbage here."

• jesse listened closely, not saying a word

• "what i'm getting at — jesse."

• he turns to her, and holds both of her hands. oh how she was not expecting this turn of events

• "i— i, i think i like you. and i'd do anything to take that next level"

• he said it, he did it. a weight off his shoulders has been lifted. he's been harbouring these feelings for months now. he needed to tell someone.

• he stared at her intently, his lips zipped shut and nervously expects her response. holding her hands firmly.

• meanwhile, as his words escalated, she almost knew what he was going to say, and she was ready to respond back.

• "can i say something a little odd, too?" jesse replies

• his eyes widened to respond to her

• "i like you as much as you do, tom."

• "i'd love to go further with you too."

• he was speechless. she felt the same way too. there's really nothing much he could say, but he smiled, and pulled her closer for a hug, she did the same

• suddenly, loud explosions can be heard, along with bright flashes in the sky. the fireworks started now

• the sky glittered the dark night with the wonderfully synchronized explosions. it was absolutely gorgeous.

• they looked in adoration, while still holding each other. she leaned her head on his neck. she felt comfortable now, there's no use in hiding how much she wanted to be close to him now

• he, in turn also snuggles his head on her soft hair, it was the best feeling in the world.

• "merry christmas, jesse"

• he said it, what a turn of events!

~~

• back at edd's house, the boys were also having a good time, because tom isn't doing anything stupid! loud music blasted their room as they all sung together happily

• edd started to wonder if things went well with jesse and tom, given that his friend wasn't even home yet.

• suddenly they heard door knocks — that must be tom!!

• "MATT, TO.RD!! GET THE PRESENTS" edd loudly whispered. the duo nodded and grabbed blue colored gifts and a party popper

• "okay, i'm opening the door. let's greet him in unison. got it?"

• "go on edd!" "we're ready!" the two responded

• edd swings the door open, and the boys were ready to yell

• "MERRY CHRISTMAS, TO-"

• tom fell down face first on the floor

• ????? what??????

• "tom??!" edd was confused

• "AAGHHH LOOK THERE'S BLOOD ON HIS CHEEK!" matt cried out

• tord leaned closer to inspect tom, he rolled him over to check his face. tom looked like he was smiling even if he's... unconscious?

• that's not blood.....

• ... is that a kissmark?

• "is that lipstick?" tord was confused too

• edd realizes.

• "looks like tom had a good holiday after all." edd chuckles.

idk if what I'm going to say is unpopular today, cos it would have been some time ago - but I do not agree with protests that disrupt the lives of ordinary working folks. Like the golden gate bridge shutdown. It has no impact on the government thats funding Israel. Has no impact on Israel. Therefore, has no impact on the Palestinian cause. It was the same for BLM protests that were traffic sit-ins etc. It shows mass solidarity which is a talking point for media outlets. Gives them a news cycle. I see this as consumptive behaviours. Protests that target Starbucks etc are targeting consumptive behaviours or are consumptive themselves, which is precisely what you would see in the heart of the empire.

The only protests in the West that would be useful are the ones that disrupt the supply chain. Disrupting manf or shipment of arms. Withholding your income taxes en masse or preventing funds from being transferred to Israel or Ukraine (idk how that can be done). Taking out servers with viruses or hacking, especially for finance capital. Idk if the people are ready for that because this will get you jailed for life. And the FBI would kill you the next day.

The ordinary person should never be the target of a protest.

Day 4

Strive heart/dareing

The rocks under her fingers suddenly crumbled, and amaya skidded a good couple of feet down the rock face.

She was sure she made some sort of noise of distress as she felt the sharp rocks bite into her gloves, but she manfed to hang on in there.

Somewhere down below she could see the campfires of her battalion, smoke drifting on the wind.

They didn't know she was up here, because if they did they'd of tryed to stop her a while ago.

But she had a good reason to be clambering up a rock face so early in the morning, so they'd be understanding.

She hoped.

-

She was still where amaya had originally seen her, in a small scrubby valley less than a hour from camp.

The young mare was on her own, whith no other horses in sight.

Sturdy and sure-footed, the dapple grey picked her way though the brush, nibbling at the shrubs as she went, unaware of Amaya's presence as she crept closer and closer.

Amaya knew this horse, or at least, she'd known her as a foal.

She had been the result of a warhorse getting loose in the village that Amaya, sarai and her former husband had lived in a couple of years back, and taking a liking to old farmer Michael's draft mare.

Amaya though she'd been killed along side her mother and so many others in the devastating raid that also claimed her brother in law's life, but here she was.

And she was sure she was looking at the same horse- 3 white legs, one dark grey, with matching hooves, and a chunk taken out her left ear from where she got it caught in the stable door at only a week old.

Amaya was not certain if she'd even remember her, but...

Well, she needed something to detract from her shattered heart, and taming a feral horse would definitely be a distraction.

-

As it turned out, being dragged though multiple spiney bushes by the horse you just managed to rope was an amazing way to wake up.

The mare was even more of a firecracker then she'd been 3 years ago, and strong.

By the time they both came to a stop, huffing and sweating, Amaya was sure that she had some sort of bramble style plant had found its way under her breastplate.

But her new friend had calmed down some, and even took a couple of crackers from her hand before she spun and made like she was going to kick her.

But amaya remained unkicked, and carefully started to lead the gray mare back towards camp, stopping every now and then to issue bribes in the form of more crackers, and an apple that was ment to be Amaya’s breakfast.

-

The predawn light had long since given way to the morning sun by the time the two of them had picked there way back down the slope.

The mare had located a small spring on the way down, and had forced amaya to stop so she could drink. Amaya took the opportunity to refill her canteen, and amire the view from the hill.

-I can't remember what they called you- amaya confessed as they finally rolled back into camp, where breakfast was in full swing. -little shit is not a good name for a horse.-

The horses and pack animals visibly perked up at the sight of the mare, who looked just as interested to meet her.

-I'll think of something nice- she promised, leading her into an empty pen so she could introduce herself to the others from behind a sturdy fence.

-

Amaya was told off for disappearing the way she did, but even the gruff old General she was the second to had to be impressed.

He made her shovel horse crap for the rest of the time they were camped in the valley (a week), but that ment that she had plenty of time to bond with, and start gentleing the still unnamed mare.

The other horses acted as brilliant roll models, and between them and Amaya’s gentle encouragement, the mare was happy to sit still and let amaya groom her with a brush by the time they were packing up to move on, and was willing to let amaya, and only amaya, put a halter on her so she could be ponied to Diane's calm old rock of a warhorse

"So.. you got a name for her yet?" Diane asked

- I think I'm going to call her sweet pea- amaya replied, watching as the newly named mare reached over to steal an apple out of Diane's saddle bag. -it was her mother's name, and she was one amazing horse.-

Diane shrugged.

-

Sweetpea was indeed an amazing horse and a brilliant warhorse, even if she never really got out of the habit of pinching unattended apples.

As poor janai found out one morning when part of her breakfast went missing whilst her back was turned.

Alright, now for an actually good Ace Attorney idea: Game that takes place during the 7-year gap where you play as Godot/Diego and have to solve murders in prison, while Diego's arc continues as he finally starts to move forward again. Plus, there's plenty of time for returning villains (and some other convicts) to get character development, commit new crimes, get murdered themselves, act as witnesses/defendants, maybe even throw in a redemption arc or two for good measure (Mimi Miney, perhaps?). Maybe we can even find out Iris's name. Also that's two potential weird girls right there.

And yes, Simon Blackquill is the prosecutor, for most of the game anyways. I'm sure one of the Paynes is convicted for forged evidence at SOME point, and it's not like we can just NOT have Manfed Von Karma return as the final boss- which we can also use as an excuse to make Simon the weird girl in another case, so there's really no downside here.
