#stupid outlook

I think loveless aros deserve a thousand dollars for every time someone claims that love is the meaning of everything or love makes us human etc etc

"by love we mean all forms of love, including nonromantic!!1!" You clearly Do Not understand. Return to start, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

There is no center of the universe, there is no unified meaning of everything, and there is no social or biological trait that "makes us human" besides the literal being humans thing, and any attempt to assert otherwise will other and alienate more people. There is no one emotion that you need to feel in order to be a good person or even a person at all

Y'all just because some people didn't like the TBB finale/S3 and some people did doesn't mean they have some sort of objectively wrong outlook or their judgment is impaired.

Not everyone is going to like the same things. I like Andor a lot and think it was great; some people strongly dislike it. This doesn't make either of us wrong.

Running around calling people misguided because they don't like what you did is some peak comedy, especially in the Star Wars franchise, of ALL fucking things.

Lol being called stupid for being an anarchocommunist is so funny. The amount of reading, of activism, of experience pushed aside because you think anarchy is chaos instead of the realization that no one has the right to he above another just out of the box. Knowing we are all equal and our enemy is those with power, that borders exist only to cause pain and armies and imperialism to drive those nails home.

But sure, anarchy is stupid. 🙄

other Silly Adventures In Trans is finding out that i can't change my phone provider subscription in the app because my subscription is on my new name but the owner of the subscription is my old name. i have no idea how this happened, i changed my name four years ago, how did they change the name of the subscription but not the subscription owner?? anyway customer service person couldn't help me because i don't have the document confirming my name change - it was sent to me digitally and got banished to the Old ID Number Dungeons when i changed my legal gender because the norwegian gender infrastructure is stupid. got told to send an email who told me to call customer service. i'm tired

Really wish there was more discussion about the Thrawn + Maris Ferasi situation. Like, I love how she's all idealistic and looks at him through some fucking MASSIVE rose-tinted glasses and is convinced he's some galant hero.

Meanwhile Thrawn is all "Omg that's adorable :')" *doesn't have the heart to tell her he was indirectly involved with the murder of 50,000 innocents*.

@loturaweek2023 Day 4: Free Space!

Tw: Mentions of child abuse

She found him in the garden, hidden under a rosebush, pout to his cheeks and a very unhappy-yet-resigned cat clutched to his chest.

Allura dropped down to her knees in front of him, startling the boy and making him drop the cat, which yowled as it jumped away from him but only went two feet before it sat and started grooming itself.

“Hi!”

“You scared me!” he scolded. “You shouldn’t do that!”

“Oh you’re fine you big baby!” she said with a roll of her eyes, probably getting dirt on her dress (but who cared about that, really, they should’ve let her wear her normal dress if they didn’t want her getting this one dirty!).

He sniffed. “Not for my sake. Of course I’m fine! But you could’ve gotten hurt. I’m a powerful warrior, you know, I might have killed you in one blow when you startled me. You should never sneak up on a Galra.”

Allura rolled her eyes again, even harder this time. “I wasn’t sneaking!”

“Yes you were!”

“No I wasn’t! You just weren’t paying attention!”

“A Galra is always vigilant!”

“Well apparently that’s not true.”

“Yes it is!” he said, pushing forward off his sad little tuckus to shove at her, making her yelp and fall back onto her own rump.

“Hey!”

“That’s what you get,” he sniffed, crossing his arms.

“You’re rude!!” Allura said, all the accusation in her tone as though she’d just convicted him of murder.

“I’m not rude. You’re rude.”

“Me!?!?” she gasped. “I came over here to say hello to you because you were being a little pouty pouter and you shoved me!”

“I wasn’t pouting!”

“Yuh-huh!”

He turned his head away with a lifted nose. “Your way of talking is very low-brow.”

Allura stomped to her feet with a growl and dusted off her skirts, slapping the fabric harder than she really needed to. “Well fine! You just sit here and be miserable and alone! I’m going to take the kitty and go have fun somewhere!”

She scooped the cat up without further ado and started speed walking, the cat growling low in its throat but not making move to swipe at her.

“Hey!” There came a pattering of short legs and small feet behind her. “Hey! You can’t do that! He’s my cat!”

She whirled around to glare at him, sending him skidding to a stop, and stuck her tongue out at him. Then she resumed leaving.

“Oh fine! I’m sorry I shoved you, just give Kova back!”

Allura contemplated continuing to be stubborn, but that’d be mean. And it was his cat. She stopped short, holding onto the cat for a few more ticks for good measure, and then spun and handed the cat back to him.

“There.” She turned up her own nose a little bit, just to make sure he knew she wasn’t about to let him think this meant a victory or anything for him. “What’s even your name, anyway?”

“I am Prince Lotor, of the Galran Empire!” he all but shouted, standing suddenly straight. Then he relaxed, petting his cat on the bridge of his nose. “Who are you?” he asked quieter, now sounding almost shy.

“Princess Allura of Altea.

“Oh,” Lotor said, recognition in his voice. “My father doesn’t like your father.”

“My father says it’s complicated,” Allura said, with all the disdain a child might have for adults’ antics. “He says he used to be friends with your father but then ‘certain matters arose.’”

Lotor frowned. “He’s never told me that.”

“You’re probably just not old enough to understand.” She was, after all, a few years older than him, which meant she was wiser and infinitely more mature.

“I am too! I understand lots of stuff! My Dayak says I’m one of the smartest children she’s ever had the misfortune of overseeing.”

“Does she call you a special little boy, too?” Allura asked, turning and resuming her walk through the garden. She didn’t know what a Dayak was, but she imagined it was probably something similar to an aunt.

“No! Even though I am. Mostly she just tells me what I’m doing wrong and how to correct myself.” Lotor had to halfway trot in order to keep up with her longer legs.

“Oh. My governess does that a lot. Sometimes she makes me sit in a corner with books on my head whenever I’m being ‘difficult.’”

“Mine just hits me.”

Allura stopped in her tracks with a gasp. “That’s terrible!”

“What?” Lotor seemed taken aback. “No, it’s normal.”

“No that isn’t! My father says that people who hit their children are the worst!”

“Well my father says hitting children is necessary to keep them disciplined and promote order.”

“Your father is a real brute!” Allura proclaimed. “I don’t know why mine was ever friends with him!”

“Well, your father is a weak spined coward! So I don’t know why mine was ever friends with him!”

“Hmph!”

“Hmph!”

They both stomped their feet and turned away from each other, Allura’s arms crossed over her chest and Lotor hugging Kova tightly.

“...Maybe we could be friends though?” Lotor suggested. “I don’t think you’re very cowardly.”

Allura deigned to twist just enough to look at him out of the corner of her eye. She stared at him, mouth hidden in his kitty’s fur, and then sighed.

“And I suppose you’re not terrible, or a brute. Even though you pushed me.”

“I said I was sorry,” Lotor muttered, turning just slightly pinkish at the tips of his ears where his velvety fur ran thin.

Allura held her hand out, and Lotor examined it with wide eyed curiosity.

“Come on. I’ll show you how to steal cookies out of the kitchen.”

“Won’t we get in trouble?” Lotor asked, but nevertheless put his hand in hers.

“Only if we get caught!” she conspired, and set off in a run, skirts billowing behind her in the warm Altean sun.

I think I might actually legitimately be at my limit. Like I think I've reached the end of my rope, actually

Omori: The world is impure, the angels have left their people to rot, rulers too stuck up in their own ego to care for the damage they have caused. There's no future for this land. The only solution is-

Kel: DUDE CHECK OUT THIS SICK ROCK I FOUND

Omori: Holy fucking shit that is a cool ass rock.

[fooltofancy]

ive been waffling for two years on the circumstances of ilya eye loss between dragonsong and some point in stormblood (many options little brain etc), but it is like. narratively satisfying for stormblood to have to be a point of recovery already after the hell of dragonsong, all that loneliness and hope and loss you've gotta piece back together

but also now you've got no depth perception. also zenos is there.

Guys, Gou fans, Satogou fans can you do me a favour? I know we’re all pretty tense right now about the future of Gou and the series etc etc, but if they annouce the new anime, can we all try and be nice to whoever the travelling companions are? Whether it’s the sv travel gang, Gou, new character, a mix, whatever, I just wanna ask that we try and be kind?

Mainly in the sense of, if someone has a post talking about how they like the characters, don’t go complaining about how you wish x happened instead. Same for ships, please guys. If suddenly they have Juliana as a companion and a bunch of ppl start shipping Juliana and Ash, I don’t wanna see ppl trying to post art/writing/whatever of them get flooded by “satogou better tho.”

I’m not saying don’t complain if you don’t like it just… be nice to other ppl having a good time with their characters as much as you can. Complain on your own posts, and tag salt etc.

Let’s go into this new season, whenever it is, however it is, whoever it is, looking forward to the Future and seeing what it brings. Let’s all have fun with the new season!
