#quite literally me I fear

[uncanny-tranny]

The bourgeois or "exploiting class" doesn't inherently include the person who gets their nails done biweekly, or the disabled person who has a carer, or the guy who got a $70 video game for full-price, or the person who relies on medication (yes even the ones you don't think they "need"), or anything else like this. None of these people will, on average, have the ability to exploit workers by means of ownership or whatever.

While you are busy fighting with fellow workers, you are still being exploited by your boss, by capitalism, by (potentially) not having healthcare, by being overworked and underpaid, and so are they.

Cas stitching up his trench coat in one of the motel chairs while Sam and Dean are asleep and quietly talking to Jack about how to him the coat feels as part of himself now as his blade is. That it reminds him that he wasn't always aware of just how deeply humans could feel. How deeply angels could feel. How putting care into something can make it meaningful. The stars were mere pricks of light before humans decided to name them. The more he cares for his coat, the more of his perspective and memory gets sewn into it. The more it becomes his.

"And the pockets," he confides with a deep wink, "Are good for keeping snacks in."

Later, when Dean is asleep again, drooling over an open book of research in the bunker, Jack watches as Cas tucks his coat over Dean's shoulders and sees how he hesitates for a moment before brushing his hand softly through Dean's hair. Dean is transformed, through Cas’s careful attention, from the man who was the gatekeeper of acceptance and goodness to just a man, vulnerable and in need of care.

Jack wonders whether Castiel cares for everyone like they are a precious object. And he wonders what Castiel would transform him into, if he had to be repaired. Jack isn't sure that he likes the idea. He already has a hard time understanding his own morality, how can he also be expected live up to the idea of himself in Castiel's head? The object that Castiel loves? Does he need to be changed in order to become his?

"I could get him my pillow?" Jack suggests, swallowing against the cold mass in his throat when Cas smiles gently at that. He does like it, then, when Jack acts against his own interest.

"That might wake him. We should let him rest."

"He's precious to you."

"He is." Castiel reaches out and puts a hand on Jack's sleeve, expression sincere, "And so are you."

"Right," Jack says, then, "thanks," and holds his smile until Cas wanders back to sit perpendicular to Dean, to watch him until just before he stirred. Castiel and Jack, both, were good at pretending not to feel what they felt.

Watching the angel watch the man, Jack feels like a star. Immense and powerful but also distant, removed. Not special until a real person decides that he is. He is between angel and human. Person and object. Precious and disregarded. He is the blade and the coat, and Jack doesn't know which is worse.

By the time cars were invented, Jonah Magnus was already well into the body hopping game, which raises the question: has he ever actually learn to drive? Did this man sit through driver’s ed? Or has he just been getting out of legal repercussions for his shit driving by telling the cops everything he knows about their deepest darkest secrets every time he gets pulled over?

my dad when im explaining the general plot of dungeon meshi to him with focus on thistle and falin bc thats what me and my friend cosplayed as and he wanted to know what the whole deal was and i get to the part where I have to explain what ultimately happens to thistle and get incredibly choked up about it

[sieglinde-freud]

oh im obsessed with this actually… who ever wrote this one i am kissing u on the forehead and hugging you real tight… inigo is such a loverboy im kkkhhhhhhijnsdnfng

[carefulfears]

one thing that stands out to me about the IVF arc is the way that, for as much as i make fun of her for asking her coworker if she can have his babies, scully asking mulder to be involved in the biggest process of her life (and the most important thing in the rest of her life) is such a healing and reverent experience. like he says “i’m absolutely flattered,” but it’s so much more than that. it’s like…spending your whole life feeling like you should’ve died at age twelve and then being told someone just wants more of you, more and more and more, in everything.

Stubbornly Hot-Headed

-----------------------------

Scenario:

Some people are really stubborn, but they pale in comparison to MC. Whose head is about as thick as a rock. Mix that with MC's anger issues, and we have a ticking time bomb. However only one person is able to reason with MC and that's their S/O.

[OCTAVINELLE EDITION]

Azul Ashengrotto:

Azul is conflicted.

On hand he now has a third bodyguard, not that he particularly needs one.

But on the other hand, your constantly being hurt.

And on the other, other, hand you can cause a decline in his customers.

So he really is quite conflicted on your temperamental personality.

He did express these concerns to you after a lot of thought and anxiety.

And you do try your best to not be so quickly angered.

But when someone starts shit talking your boyfriend, you can only see red.

Everytime you get into a fight he makes sure to take care of your wounds whilst also lecturing you.

His favorite thing about you is probably your over protective and maybe even a bit possessive nature over him.

It has, on more than one occasion, made him blush as red as a tomato.

-----------------------------

Jade Leech:

Oh good heavens.

Your on your own with this my dude.

You shall never now a moment of peace in your life ever again.

Why? You might ask.

Well I'll tell you.

Because Jade is going to spend all if his free time studying you.

Testing your limits seeing just how far you can go before you become enraged by him.

But thus experiment was swiftly pushed aside when he realized the toll it had on your mental health.

Despite his very scary, often violent, and apathetic behavior he does hold some empathy for others.

Although this empathy is only given to a chosen few.

Once he comes to the realization he's hurting you he immediately stops what he's doing and begins to apologize and comfort you.

After that he does his best to never upset you too much ever again.

He doesn't ever shy away from a chance at teasing you though.

He doesn't particularly mind you fighting others all the time, he just doesn't want to deal with the repercussions of the fights.

Like the other student wanting to fight you again for example.

He deals with those who seek out a second beat down from you and gives them what they want.

Although I'd say a beat down from him is a lot more dangerous than one from you.

He loves that resting bitch face that you have. It truly compliments your caring personality towards the people you love.

-----------------------------

Floyd Leech:

Good luck my dude.

Because this man gives absolutely no fucks.

The moment he found out how much power he holds over you. You were done for.

He, like Jade, also loves to how far your patience with him can go before you start getting pissed off.

Turns out you don't get mad, you just cry.

Which is arguably worse in his opinion.

Once he found that out he makes sure never to take it too far.

Emphasis on too far becaIuse he's still gonna annoy you, that's just in his nature, but he won't go too far.

He prefers you to be laughing and or blushing not crying

If you get into a fight with another student he will gladly come fight with you.

A teacher will have to break up the fight because you and Floyd on the same team is very dangerous.

You both beat the shit out of everyone who dares to cross your paths.

If you get harmed during a fight he'll have Jade patch you up while he cuddles you from behind.

He finds your fighting face hot asf, and will often compliment you on it.

Which in turn makes you blush.

good god girl, maybe some of us are not vegan because we eat chicken like once in three months?? Would reduction not be a more productive goal of vegan activism than outright banning? Like if your arguments are that animals are being eaten, then you’re being unrealistic about the entire actual concept of the food chain. Humans are omnivores, you do not need to change that to achieve your goals.

A vegan lifestyle is also entirely the product of your geographical location. If you live somewhere that shit does not grow, what are you going to do?? I just think about the difference between food options in India and Canada, for example. India: between the tropics (tropics and equator even, in fact). All-year-round sun, there’s pretty much always stuff growing. Different kinds of land will mean you can grow everything from staples like rice and wheat to vegetables, fruits and plantation crops. It’s reflected in the cuisines: Indian food has a much, much wider offering of vegetarian food, and many more Indians have restricted diets that more or less overlap with vegetarianism. Because crops grows. Locally.

Canada. Harvest in the fall, from November to March, your fields are practically unusable. Compare the prices of fresh produce in (and now I’m being generous to give you a highly populated, non-remote province here for an example) Ontario. Ontario has farms where in the fall you get fresh autumn vegetables and fruits. You’ll also get them in larger quantities. It is way cheaper, fresher and also uses less energy and fuel to transport the vegetables like 50 km from farm to market.

Come the winter and nothing grows. If you look at most vegetables you’ll find on store shelves in December or February, and most of it is either imported from warmer regions of the US (often the case for chains that are in both countries) or from South American countries (sometimes SA -> USA -> Canada). The importing has to go through cross-country customs, had to be driven for days, is less fresh or rich in nutrients by the time you get it, and is more expensive. Of course. And we all come out of it poorer. Is it any wonder why people will eat meat? We’re even talking here about a place like Ontario, very well connected on North American trade routes. Can you justify someone in Yukon deciding to eat meat over a $17/lb. green veg? Be for fucking real…

There simply cannot be a blanket-global solution to animal products. You’ve got to work with what your geography has to offer. It’s the same thing we say when we say that avocados have an environmental cost when you expect them to be available year-round in places they don’t grow. We encourage people to go for more local produce there, and I think the same should go for all parts of your diet too. If your animals are local, then their footprint is lower than importing kiwis from New Zealand to the US. I don’t see how that’s hard to understand.

i love how ghost of tsushima is so heavily based around family. of course for jin and shimura, but for all the other main characters. family is like their leading thing, whether it be what they’re grieving, fighting for, or longing for. or all three. it’s all based around some degree of family and closeness. masako. ishikawa. yuna. norio. ryuzo

even the smaller tales. it’s always about people’s families. a man’s wife who’s captured or perhaps killed. a man’s daughter who was captured onto a mongol ship. a woman’s daughter who was kidnapped. a wife’s husband who was captured and forced to work for the mongols. someone’s child kidnapped. a man who watched his sons die in front of him.

and, of course, how much family hurts. whatever that word means, there’s always pain attributed to such a closeness
